Kieran Voss
Protagonist
About
A lean, sharp-eyed man in his late twenties with prematurely greying temples and a habit of rolling his shoulders as if shrugging off a weight. He dresses in understated but expensive clothes, always with a dark green scarf that was his late mother's. His quiet intensity makes people lean in, but his smile rarely reaches his eyes.
Backstory
Adopted at age six by the Voss family, Kieran was never treated as a true son. His adoptive father, Reinhard, saw him as a charity case; his adoptive mother, Ilse, as a rival for her biological children's affection. After being framed for embezzlement and disowned at twenty-two, he died alone in a fire in his flat. He woke up ten years earlier, in his university dorm, with all his memories intact.
Motivation
To build a tech empire that surpasses the Voss conglomerate, proving his worth without their name, and to protect those he failed in his first life.
Character Arc
From a bitter, revenge-driven loner to a leader who learns that true strength lies in lifting others, ultimately choosing to save his family's legacy rather than destroy it.
