Charismatic - Quick-Witted - Adaptable - Observant
↳ Keigo's good looks and fascinating persona make for quite the charismatic character. After being left with his absent single father and basically raising himself, Keigo turned to the streets for guidance and quickly learned how to be adaptable and observant. His time spent as a fence and serial con artist for a small gang gave him a keen sense of people's intentions, he is charming and quick-witted especially when it comes to skirting the truth. He had to be resourceful to thrive in an area where only the best can make it out alive.

= Neutral
Persistent - Resourceful - Opportunistic
↳ To live a life beyond the law requires a great deal of resourcefulness. Keigo is a quick learner and an even quicker thinker, he's naturally skilled at putting together schemes on the fly and can easily manipulate situations to his benefit. His persistence is a highly valuable skill when it comes to finding the right mark to swindle. If you don't succeed then try again, and again, and again until you get what you want. Giving up is never an option when your freedom and livelihood are on the line. Being opportunistic is another highly valuable skill that came naturally with Keigo's quick thinking, maybe the scheme didn't go according to plan but who's to say he can't still benefit from a situation gone awry. If Keigo lets you in, his personality is a lot more subdued than he appears at first. He is generally a calm person and is known to crack some pretty good jokes.

- Negative
Conceited - Distrustful - Self-Conscious - Antisocial
↳ While Keigo is quite charming, he is not quick to truly open up and prefers to isolate himself. He often pushes his charismatic persona a little too far and can come off as conceited, though he definitely does think highly of himself even under the persona. After a childhood plagued with relentless bullying and bad 'friends', Keigo is distrustful and often finds himself psychoanalyzing every single action to the point of self-isolation. This is also a factor in his antisocial behavior when he's not actively seeking something out. It's easier to believe everyone has bad intentions than to admit maybe you're the one with the wrong outlook. While Keigo may look put together, he is self-conscious and obsesses over his image and how people perceive him. This has made him a good con artist but isn't so great for long-term relationships.
