__________________IN-DEPTH STUFFPhysical Description:
Kit has red hair swept to the right to cover his right eye, though his hair has started growing in white at the roots from stress. His hair is practically split between the two colors. He is fairly pale, like other Edanis, and has blue eyes. He does not have an excessive amount of muscle mass, but he has enough to be reasonably strong and fit.
He generally wears black pants, a navy blue long-sleeved undershirt, a leather tunic of several shades of blue, red boots with a black stripe and buckles, and a black sleeveless overcoat with red trim that goes just beyond the waist. He also has a black belt over his coat that holds a pistol, black fingerless gloves, a white scarf, a grey field cap, and a pair of blue tinted goggles that he rests on the brim of his cap.
Personality:
Kit is a quiet person, and rarely speaks. When he does, it is usually brief and direct. He does not engage in small talk. Simple, shallow praises also tend to irk him, as he knows they are not genuine. Any comments he makes tend to come across as harsh and cold, even if they weren't meant to be.
Since he doesn't spend much time speaking, he is very observant. He is logical and rational, and always thinks through available options in every situation. His emotions are contained behind impassiveness, and he hardly lets anything show on his face. Any judging or calculating he does is within his own mind. This does not mean that he is incapable of expressing emotions; he will often do so simply because he knows that the person he is conversing with expects certain reactions. He is awkward at expressing his true emotions vocally, and often uses actions instead.
Kit is hard-working and determined. Once he has put his mind to something, he puts effort into doing it effectively. He is also trustworthy, and does not give out other people's secrets if he can help it. Kit believes that other people's business is just that, and is content not to mention it to anyone else, especially if it is not pertinent. Though he doesn't try to pry information out, he tends to pick up on small nuances that people let slip.
Magic/Abilities:
Though Kit's family consists of mages, his own abilities are negligible. He can create very small flames, similar to those from a lighter.
He is also a good shot with his pistol and accurate with the small throwing knives he keeps on his person. He sometimes carries a sword on his back and is rather skilled with it. However, since bringing a sword to a gun fight is generally not a smart idea, he only uses it sparingly, usually in one-on-one duels. He prefers not to fight without a weapon, so when faced with a fight without one on hand, he usually redirects opponents attacks until he can find a way out of the situation.
He has a small plant growing hobby, and is skilled at identifying and growing many kinds. He puts great meaning to flowers, and enjoys trimming bushes as well.
He can also speak one of the old languages of Earth
(otherwise known as Spanish).
Relationships:
He has a strained relationship with most of his family, and tries to avoid them if possible. His family is well off, and apparently has been for many generations. They claim to be of noble descent, though the only proof they have is old texts and their consistently red hair color. Kit finds their attitudes overbearing.
The only one he truly gets along with is Acherno, his youngest brother of 19 years. When he visits, he teaches his little brother some of the skills he has learned, such as knife throwing. He is protective of Acherno due to their similar circumstances and his young brother's child-like psyche.
He frequents an engineer,
Casey, while on Cancer. Kit finds the engineer to be rather air-headed at times, though he trusts him with additions and repairs to his ship. He gave Casey a plant as a thank-you gift and has regretted it ever since.
He has a pleasantly awkward relationship with
Kay, whom he met on his first—and self declared last—trip to Aedolis. Despite he natural reservations of psychics cultured from growing up on Edanith, he doesn't seem to mind when Kay ends up answering his surface thoughts. Saves him the trouble of speaking, after all.
History:
Kit grew up on Edanith with his mother and father, both mages, four sisters, and two brothers. Two of his siblings, one sister and one brother, are older than he is and have started families of their own.
Kit doesn't get along particularly well with most of his family, as they regard him with pity. Out of the entire family, only he and his youngest brother did not inherit their parents' skill in magic.
Around the age of 20, Kit became tired of his life and left on a cargo ship bound for the space station Cancer. From there, he did odds jobs on the station and various ships before finally acquiring a ship of his own.
He has continued doing almost any jobs that he comes across, from shipping and smuggling to ferrying passengers. He has even transferred dubious messages between people, though he tries to make it clear that he is not otherwise involved.
Other:
If your character needs some random task done, or if they need a temporary job, ask Kit! He'll generally take on help for his ship on a basis of need. He's also kind of a prude. I would love anyone to stick him in an awkward scenario. Also, anyone willing to play a member of his family, that would be excellent.
He's cautious bordering on paranoid. He's not used to being in the spotlight, so if someone actually notices him, he'll be on guard and only make physical contact with them if necessary. He'll fight back and move back if other characters make a move for him. Once he's determined someone is not a threat, his guard drops, so he won't see friendly hugs and stuff coming.
