History

Alx Keming is an older person of Chinese heritage. Keming uses ve / vis / vir / virs pronouns exclusively (note: this neopronoun only, no they/them). Keming is mute, and signs ASL, CSL and Auslan. Ve is a kind soul with a warm, inviting smile.

Keming is a seeker of knowledge, in books and in exploration. Ve has worked in various educational institutions in the past. Ve took a break from this to see where knowledge would take vis.

While traveling, ve was swept Elsewhere. Lost in this unknown place for an unknown amount of time, ve took the opportunity to study and explore. One day, Keming came across Hotbox Sato (a being composed of smoke who forms into the shape of a person), who had been lost in Elsewhere for days and was desperately trying to return to its team. Keming took pity, and decided to help Hotbox return home. The two journeyed long, bonding as they went, and eventually found the way to a Charleston. It was a joyful reunion. The team asked Keming to stay a day and watch a game of Blaseball and ve agreed. At that game, Sato, who had fought so hard to return to its team, was set aflame by a rogue umpire. Keming saw the loss on the faces of Hotbox’s teammates, especially Snyder Briggs. Keming was hit with the overwhelming feeling that this is where ve is supposed to be. As Keming decided to join the team, ve suddenly found verself at the plate, dressed in a Shoe Thief uniform.

Keming does not know how long ve were in the Elsewhere. It is suspected that Keming’s name was different before the Elsewhere, but this cannot be confirmed. There is part of Keming that misses the Elsewhere and the mysteries within it. Ve gathers all the research ve can-- anything from old tomes to in-person accounts, and even tangentially-related, surreal documentaries (one was simply that of a lizard sitting on a rock for hours, which Velasquez Alstott found so boring that she was reduced to tears).

Keming finds the splort of Blaseball immensely fascinating, having studied the ancient, historical records at great length. Ve is just pleased as punch to get to play with these historical re-enactors.

Keming has become something of a grandparent figure to Alstott. Keming reads to Alstott nearly every night, and it is not uncommon to find Keming sitting quietly as Alstott snoozes, head on Keming’s arm.

Keming and Fitzgerald Wanderlust get along swimmingly. Both having a passion for history, they will often be found engaged in lengthy conversations long into the night. They discuss their shared past and research into the occult, namely the Elsewhere, the Nature of Blaseball, and the Entities that govern it. They also both have a keen interest in time travel.

Keming saw Tillman Henderson’s trickster/heel antics and said to verself “this is my new grandkid, time to nurture.” After some resistance, Keming convinced Tillman to let vis help him practice pitching. Henderson grumbles and puts on a show that he doesn’t enjoy it, but never refuses and is always on time.

Keming and Snyder Briggs have a complicated relationship. On the one hand, there is appreciation for Keming being there for Sato and bringing it home. On the other hand, Sato was incinerated shortly after the return. Bitter over these feelings, Briggs does their best to avoid Keming. Keming understands, and feels terrible about Briggs’ loss. Ve does what ve can, leaving Briggs gifts such as documentaries about fire.
