Ah, so. Random Character Spotlighte time, because I can't think of a damn thing else to write.


Name: Kieran Ellis Black, ne Kieran Ellis
age: 24
story: Glare
appearance: Kieran's dead sexy- but kinda funny lookin' all the same. He's of average height, no more than 5'11" but no less than 5'7", which makes him almost tall, I suppose. His eyes are very very dark grey, but most of the time they're blacked out, especially when he's POed or feeling particularly intimidating. By blacked out I mean just that; no pupil, iris, or whites, just empty black holes with little sparkly glare spots in the corners. His hair is long and spikey over his right eye, colored dark dark brown. On the left side it spikes upwards and outwards, colored orange at the roots fading to very pale yellow at the tips. Kinda funny looking; occasionally he gets wisecracks about Halloween personified- usually the people who say things like that either know they can get away with it or receive an ass kicking soon after. Kieran isn't exactly built- he's muscular, but not overly so, and he moves like a cat. His nose is very small, and his eyes are somewhat slanted. Occasionally, his eyebrows fork. But only on Wednsdays and other days of the month beginning with the letter "f".

Kieran lived a very unhappy childhood in the care of his great uncle, Ellis Black. Ellis was a very rich, very old, very evil man. He had a hand in nearly everything illegal you can think of, and he didn't think twice about involving his nephew in these things at the tender age of four. Kieran can't remember anything from the time before his uncle died beyond very hazy memories of pain, knives, and needles. He suffers occasional flashbacks when he's been drinking- that's why he doesn't drink. Ever.

Nineteen years after Ellis' death, Kieran suddenly finds that he's inherited all of the old man's empire- most of it has degraded and has been taken over by other people, anyway, but certain areas of the old bastard's master plan are still working quite well. A small building in the slums is part of this; nobody really knows what Ellis was doing with all the medical equipment and such he had there, but everyone knows it wasn't good.

Kieran doesn't know why he inherited, as opposed to his sister, Clara. Clara is an evil bitch, a woman after their uncle's heart. She, however, has no flashbacks and repressed memories. She was the lucky one. Doesn't mean nothing was done to her...she just has no unpleasant memories of it happening. So Kieran goes to visit this small, dingy building in the slums, and finds something he didn't really want to find.

Not the most stable of people under normal conditions, finding holding tanks full of half formed children with his mother's face and a little, underdeveloped girl/woman named Chiara who is his clone caused poor Kieran to snap. And now he has vowed to take down everything that is left of his uncle's legacy and see it burn.

Of course, his sister is rather bitter about not inheriting anything...and she never liked Kieran much, anyway. And she's got her own clone/avatar thing named Sinclair, or something similar to that.

So it's diabolical evil versus insane vigilantiism. Don't mock my spelling.

Kieran is very nearly insane for the most part. He is obsessed with destroying everything that ever had anything to do with his family's past (which is rather complicated and hasn't been thought out quite yet) and he doesn't care who he hurts in the process. He will, however, protect Chiara at all costs. It's sort of creepy, actually. Kieran is nothing if not creepy, however. Creepy and dangerous- he does go to any length to stop his sister and her diabolical plans...any length including and certainly not limited to bribery, murder, arson, torture, and the use of some rather illegal and frightening medical procedures. You know, the ones that give you extra appendages when you sneeze and the like. Only not quite. (Can you tell I really haven't thought about this much?)

When not being creepy and dangerous, Kieran's actually a very nice guy- sensitive, caring, the whole nine yards. He's just rather damaged in the head, you see. Severely abused as a child, and now the whole mess with his uncle's empire (it needs a name...)...He's rather shy, as a rule, and he doesn't talk much. But he's bloody intelligent, inhumanly strong, and has absolutely no control over his emotions whatsoever. Or rather, he does have control over them- his idea of 'control' is to simply ignore them, which leads to periodic messy breakdowns in which he is reduced to a quivering puddle of trauma. Generally only Chiara can bring him out of these- she's also the only one who can calm him when he's in one of his violent rages.

Uh...of course this is disorganized. He only walked into my head a week ago. I didn't know his story until four days ago, and I still don't know everything about him. I think I am vaguely disturbed by this whole thing...disturbed, yet intrigued...
