but oh, you seem so serious
I SHOULD ENJOY THE SWEET INTERROGATION

Appearance A young man standing at five feet six inches, he has black hair, and dark eyes that, with closer inspection, are actually a dark amethyst. His skin is unusally pale, and he sunburns extremely easily. He spends most of his time indoors because of this. He generally wears hoodies with silly slogans and jeans with his old, worn skate shoes, covered in duct tape.

PERSONALITY

Never, ever try to outprank Kieran, first of all. Since he was a kid, he learned every trick in the book, from those pull end firecrackers on a sliding door to the shocking gum. His older brother taught him everything he knew, and Keiran expanded on that knowlege. He's a clever little guy.

On the other hand, he knows when to stop messing around and start helping people. He's a big believer in making the world a better place. Keiran finds little kids to be the most entertaining creatures on the planet, so he volunteers at big friend/little friend. His little friend is a Native kid named Michael. He also puts in hours helping the computer teacher at school learn the material for class. The guy is helpless without Keiran.

He has a secret love for vampire novels. Not Twilight, but the ones like House of Night and the Black Dagger Brotherhood. His favorite quote from P.C. Cast's series seemed to echo true in his mind: Darkness does not always equate to evil, just as light does not equate to good. Only his family knows of his love for these books.

you start to hypnotize me
WHY SHOULD I TRUST YOU

MOTHER: Jill
FATHER: Peter.
SIBLINGS: Older brother, Seth.
OTHER: Paternal grandmother, Deloris.
FAMILIAR/PET: A cat: Reeses
PLACE OF BIRTH: Salida
CURRENT RESIDENCE: Salida
ABILITIES: Basically, he has very good night vision; not quite as good as it will be eventually, though. His pupils dialate more than the average person's.
FUTURE ABILITIES: He will eventually be able to solidify his shadow and send it elsewhere, though that will take a lot of energy. He can manipulate shadows, for example, making a shadow of a person appear when there is no person. His power is mainly that of creating illusions.

HISTORY:

Kieran was a crazy little kid when he was in preschool, never able to settle down enough to actually accomplish anything in one sitting. His teachers wanted him tested for ADHD as he got older, but he never did get tested. He got good grades despite his issues paying attention, and the occaisional behavioral issues. His older brother had taught him how to mess with the teacher, and he took that advice to heart.

Come middle school, Kieran started to calm down a bit. He got involved in sports for a little while, but found that basketball and soccer just weren't his forte. He learned to skateboard, and found his athletic niche there. He never had very many good friends, just a few kids he hung out with.

In high school, the skater crowd turned into the stoner crowd. Kieran didn't agree with their values, and they made fun of him for staying home instead of partying, studying instead of trying out the latest new thing in recreational drug use. He ended up joining the A/V club, but those kids weren't really amused by the idea of hacking into the school's computer system and changing the cafeteria menu to pizza for every Friday until the end of the year.

At home, he got along with his older brother, with whom he shared a room. His grandmother lives with their family, but Kieran doesn't mind. She got him a cat for his thirteenth birthday, and it is now his best friend. Reeses acts like he own Kieran, but he doesn't seem to notice. The cat can't stand anyone other than Gramma Deloris and Kieran.

MEMBER TITLE: n/a
POST EXAMPLE:

Kieran was aware that staring at his computer screen for hours on end in a dark room was bad for his eyesight, but he found himself doing it anyway. He sat on his bed, crosslegged, as he coded a web page for a friend. His cat laid on the bed next to him, purring softly. It was about noon, but the teenager was still in his pajamas. His shades were drawn, trying to block out the summer sunlight. Some still leaked in, which bugged him.

Reeses's ears perked up for a moment, and he opened his eyes. "What is it, little guy?" he asked, scratching the cat on the head. His bedroom door opened, revealing his elder brother. A snap sounded, and a wooden board swung, aimed at Seth's face. Kieran's brother ducked just in time, but still got hit in the forehead. Being tall did have its hazards. "How come I never see your booby traps until it's too late?" He asked, rubbing his head where a small bump was forming.

"'Cause you never learn from your mistakes, and I'm just that good." A shadow twitched in the corner of his eye. probably just the tree branches outside. "I havn't even brought out my best tricks yet."
