Name: Kay Dillon Bowen Age: 25 Title: Captain, Kay serves in the army based currently in Byzantir Sexuality: Heterosexual Personality: Quite simply put Kay is the type of person who reacts first and only thinks about the consequences when it's too late. His heart is in the right place, his head just doesn't always realise that sometimes you need to stop and look at what the situation is before you start knocking things down. Part of his problem is he is so scared of losing the people around him to some unknown danger that he doesn't quite process that at times he is a danger to both himself and all those around him. Kay is, however, a bit better at stopping and thinking since being in the army. Somehow being involved in the military does that to a person. Kay is also known for his ability to use sarcasm, although there are some who are fairly ignorant of this fact. They take his comments to heart and he has had a few awkward moments where maidens had taken his comments as declarations of undying love. Thankfully so far he has been able to persuade these maidens to rather turn their attentions towards other more suitable suitors. As even though he may come across as sarcastic and at times harsh under his rough exterior is still the young boy that wore his heart on his sleeve and was willing to die for those he cared about. Kay is fiercely loyal to his family and friends and would rather die than see any harm come to them. A noble quality but one that has gotten him into trouble over the years. Kay has sadly hardened his heart and doesn't wear it as openly as he once did, the pain of losing his sister did that. Losing a loved one to something that he couldn't protect her from caused him to close himself off to strangers. He is much more free with his snarky and sarcastic comments out of fear of letting anyone else too close to him. The pain of losing one loved one was too much for him and he could never bear losing anyone else. His upbringing as a merchant's son means he is able to negotiate on the price of almost anything. It also means he is able to lie fairly easily, afterall merchants don't use honesty when it comes to get the best price. History: Kay came from a family of merchants. This meant that although he didn't come from an old noble family, he had still had had a fairly comfortable upbringing. He never knew many hardships before the age of sixteen and any bruises obtain were mainly caused by his ability to find trouble wherever he went. This ability to find trouble is what caused his father to realise that his hotheaded son would never make it as a merchant. Merchants would never accept such a hothead into their rankings, it would tatter their image. Kay was indecisive of what to do with his life, to be honest joining the army was a spur of the moment decision made soon after he turned 16. He had always been fiercely protective of his younger sister, a number of his fights had been because he had felt it was his duty to protect her from anyone he thought was trying to harm her. Soon after his sixteenth birthday she simply vanished. No one knew where she had gone, she had gone out the morning and never came home. Kay was devastated, and after a few months in a spur of the moment decision he joined the army. Although his decision to join the army had been made in a moment of madness it soon proved to be a wise decision. The army gave Kay an outlet for his grief. No one had answers for his family about his sister. They had been told to accept the fact that either she was dead, had run away or worse. Kay often lay awake at night the first few months after they had been told what the worst case scenario could be. He had always thought those stories had been simply just that stories. He didn't want to believe the possibility that a fairytale could be true, but over the next few years more people started dissappearing and a small voice started to wonder what if the stories were true? |
