Nickname: Kess, K, Kessy
Age: 22
Birthday: February 17th
Sign: Aquarius
Gemstone: Turquoise
Blood Type: Be Positive!
Fav. Food: "The Belly Buster," a breakfast special at the 24-hour diner closest to Kess' apartment. It comprises of three pancakes, cream of wheat, hashbrowns, four sausage links, four bacon strips, two pieces of toast, and an orange slice. It's far too much food for one girl, but perfect for sharing, and the price [7.99!] can't be beat.
Hated Food: Kess really, really likes food. She's that girl who will always take the dare to eat whatever you combine from the fridge, and always willing to try the strangest things. While there's things she prefers to others, she doesn't hate anything. "Food is life. Why would I hate life?"
Occupation: Part-time Delivery for the Destiny City Postal Service
Hobbies:
Drug Dealing - More of a part-time job than a hobby, Kesslan delivers a lot more than the mail. Your friendly neighborhood mailgirl is also passing out dime and nickel bags of marijuana, at clubs, the local park, and other social events. There's even a rumor, amongst those in the know, that you can have it dropped off in your mailbox. Girl's gotta make a living.
From Northern California [no, more northern than you'e thinking], she grew used to 215 cards, and a majority of citizens partaking in marijuana. If you were to ask her, she doesn't view selling weed as a moral issue. Instead, she leaves it up to individuals to decide if they want to do it, and then provides it to them based off their own decisions.
Games! - Kess loves videogaming, board games, roleplaying, and tends to prefer sci-fi to fantasy. Games range from puzzle solvers and RPGs to first-person shooters when she needs to blow off some steam, and even the occasional LARP. Kess has no shame.
While in high school, she played both lacrosse and soccer, but now the on-again, off-again community college student only joins in the occasional pick-up game, along with her favorite schoolyard sports, like kickball.
Kickboxing - After graduating high school, Kess quit organized sports, and regularly attends kickboxing classes, both for self defense, and to expend her large amounts of physical energy. 5 years in, Kessy has quite the handle on it, and participates in an advanced group, with regular sparring.
Skating: - Kess thinks cars are terrible, and though she has a beat up old truck, it's generally only used to move people's stuff. Instead, the girl has a pair of well-loved street skates that she uses to get everywhere. She's pretty darn good with them, and occasionally engages in trick skating [grinding, jumps, etc], on the urban playground of Destiny City.
Trespassing - Yes, this is a hobby. The blonde loves abandoned buildings, construction sites, old mills, and even shut down shopping centers. Sometimes there to vandalize, she mainly likes to 'explore' and go on adventures. The site of a chain-link fence is like an invitation to the girl, who finds the empty, broken urban jungle meditative.
Haircuts - Kess enjoys cutting hair, and she will cut your hair for free. Especially if you would like her to use her clipper set, or you're going for something a little wild. A semester at the local beauty college doesn't get you a license, but it does get you comfortable, and she is perfectly at home working in someone's kitchen.
Virtues:
Shameless: She doesn't have an ego in her way, and this, in practice, makes her fearless. Kess isn't afraid of failing, because she isn't worried about what it will do to her image, and therefore, is willing to take risks, chances, and go for things completely, once she decides to do them. K enjoys life as it comes, and thinks taking any opportunity when it arrives is the only way to come close to experiencing everything the world has to offer. No second guessing, no second chances. Now, or never!
Team-Player - Kess feels no need to hog the spotlight, as attention doesn't get her rocks off. The girl is as comfortable in a support role as she is with being a leader, and tends to take a 'majority wins' approach to most group situations, whether that majority is making the proper choice or not. Because of her ability to get along with others, she does sometimes end up elected as the most diplomatic option for 'leader,' and will take on the task, such as in a sports captain position, or a project team.
Both her operational ethics and her own safety take a back seat to the needs of those she cares for, as she is not quick to care. You need a buddy to rob that bank with you? Kess is there for you. Did you accidentally [or not] kill someone? Your buddy K is going to pick up the phone at 3am, and help you dispose of that body. Do you need to pass the blame onto someone else? Kess will take the accusation with a sleepy grin. This isn't to be confused with gullibility, as the blonde understands what she's getting into, and simply considers the objective of her 'family' more important than her needs as an individual.
Hard-working - While emotionally lazy, Kess is physically determined, and takes pleasure in using her body to it's potential. Exercise, sports, and hands-on tasks are her specialty, and this girl won't complain if asked to work a double-shift, or help someone move their apartment. In fact, she will generally take up work that she is capable of on her own, without needing to be told.
Personable/Easy-going - 'Be open to truth, from whatever source it comes'. Kess is friendly, outgoing, and non-judgmental. The girl is just as likely to be seen talking to a homeless man as she is a university student, and considers everyone her peers. She is comfortable enough with herself to not take the opinions and views of others personally, and has been known to change her own opinions, if enough evidence comes to light that proves she may be mistaken. Contrary to popular belief, which is that she's a really nice person, her acceptance of others is truly based in her lack of 'give a ********,' [see flaws] which allows her to both do her job, and get along with a variety of people.
Flaws:
Shades of Grey - While Kess is not immoral, she is definitely amoral, and possesses a general unawareness of, and indifference to any particular sets of morals and principles, beyond that of hard work and loyalty to one's team. As long as an action falls under those two categories, she doesn't particularly care about the details. Whether it's a carwash to help a buddy afford a new bike or collecting star seeds for her superiors, she's eager to lend a hand.
In line with this, she doesn't need a specific reason to do immoral acts, just the idea to do so, and she tends to find trouble when restless.
Sad Story, Bro - Kess' give a ******** muscle is a little broken [or perhaps just sprained]. While lending a non-critical ear, she's not the friend you go to for advice. If you need to vent, or just sit in companionable silence, or you need a favor she's your girl, but it's highly unlikely that Kesslan will express an opinion, or do anything about your problem that isn't neutral / she's not asked to do. This can lead to conflicts with those that don't understand her personality or 'friendship style,' but fighting or accusing the girl of not caring about you just doesn't work. Kess will take your criticisms with a blank stare, and go on going on.
Restless - Kess has a lot of energy she needs to burn off, which one might argue is due, in part, to her unwillingness to sit around and think about the direction of her life, and therefore provide herself with the chance for doubt. Because of this, the laid-back girl is almost always doing something, sports, games, work, anything she can to be out, "living". When she's left with nothing to do, her mind begins to churn, and she is forced to consider and debate her past actions and thoughts. This is not something the girl enjoys, and she tends to get stir-crazy within an hour or two.
This often leads to her 'creating' things for herself to do, like break into private property, or go out looking for a fight. As long as it won't result in something detrimental to her team, it checks off on the "okay-to-do" list.
Ante Up, or Leave - Kess works hard. She plays hard. She expects you to do the same. While the girl will ignore your personal problems, she isn't a fan of laziness, or those that half-a** your assignments. Most of the time, she will do your work properly for you, even going as far as to fix it before your very eyes [which some might see as rude]. She may smile, and she's far from insulting, but the girl is blunt. If asked directly why she didn't pick you to work with on something, she'll let you know that your work ethic is shoddy.
Now, if you ******** something up and put the team in danger, or have the chance of doing so with your negligence? You can bet Kess is going to check your behavior right away. It's not personal, whether or not you take offense, but when push comes to shove, Kess is far more likely to clock you across your grill for messing up than she is to bicker with you passive-aggressively for an hour or two.
She'll take her consequence for the action, but if she deems it necessary to keep you in line, be warned that it's not likely to stop her from doing it again. If you can't keep up and contribute, Kess doesn't want you around.
