Name: Kisoku Capulet

Name Meaning: Kisoku means "breath" making it synonymous with the name Abel, the murdered son of Adam and twin brother of Cain. Capulet is the surname of Juliet, the fated lover of Romeo. His family took the name after starting the highly successful Verona Motor Company with the Montagues.

Age: Twenty

Date of Birth: June 19

Astrological Sign: Gemini/Cancer cusp.

Bloodtype: AB

Alignment: Neutral. His heart is truly good, but the unfortunate circumstances surrounding his life often make him inclined to travel to the dark side.

Strengths: Kisoku is a highly attractive, magnetic person. He knows how to deal with people, making him a suave businessman. He is highly intelligent and street-wise, which gets him through the dirty deals of the business world. He also plays a mean guitar, plays the drums reasonably well, and can back-up sing like there's no tomorrow. He has stage appeal and great stage presence. His model good looks also play into his favor in both the business and entertainment world. While most people wouldn't consider him the most popular member of Wingless, he still has a fair sized fan-following. In addition, many a good business deal has been settled by the young entrepreneur's looks and some well-placed flattery. He is a sensitive and highly empathic person, knowing just the right things to say and do to make a person feel better in even the worst of times. His cooking is above average. No one can beat him when it comes to shopping for clothes. He can arrange outfits for any style of clothing.

Weaknesses: Kisoku is highly sensitive, especially since he is often overcome by supreme feelings of inadequacy. His need to be "good enough" can drive him mad. Failure to be as near perfect as humanly possible is worse than death to him. He also has a good deal of notoriety in New Eden, being one of the single wealthiest bachelors in the city. He often has to change his appearance to keep from being recognized, and he always has to be on his best behavior in public to keep up the company reputation. The faint memory of his mother's betrayal still haunts him to this day, and though the pain has softened somewhat, the fact that he was the child left behind still stings at his heart. Another episode in his young life involving the Montagues has left him quite paranoid. His home has innumerous locks and security precautions on it. He always keeps pepper spray and mace at hand. He is quite likely to do a background check on anyone he dates.

Likes: Kisoku likes shopping for clothes and make-up. Kisoku likes dating around because he's already settled down so many times in his young life. Kisoku loves music. He loves to listen to all sorts of music, and he absolutely loves to play music. It didn't take much convincing at all to get him to join Wingless. He likes having fans that adore him because it makes him feel without fault in the eyes of a select few. He loves cigarettes and alcohol because they do wonders at calming his nerves.

Dislikes: Kisoku hates the earlier portion of his life, and though it heavily influences him, he tries to repress as much as he can of his all-too-dark youth. He dislikes breaking people's hearts, preferring to end up broken hearted. If he were to break hearts, then he would be the one at fault, and above all, Kisoku hates being the person the mistake in any situation.

Greatest Fear: His greatest fear is outright rejection by all the people who say that they adore him. Because of the fact that his mother abandoned him and did nothing when he was abused by the Montague's, he can never truly trust anyone who is close to him.

Motivation: He wants to stop feeling inferior just because so many people have rejected him. He wants to be above the loneliness that plagues his life. He wants to either feel truly loved or feel nothing for any human being.

Favorite Food: Pizza. There's a parlor on practically every street. It's yummy and accessible and good on the go. Pizza can keep up with his fast paced schedule.

Least Favorite Food: Kisoku hates spicy foods. He is very stubborn about his eating habits, and he doesn't want anything that could A) make him more prone to ulcers (hey, he's in business) and B) can set him back in his efficiency.

What grade are they in: He's a sophomore in college.

Marks: He takes most of his classes off of a pass/fail system, showing only as much work as necessary. For those classes that don't use this system, he simply works hard enough to get something resembling a B, and if that doesn't work, he has other methods of persuasion.

Favorite Class: Human Sexually � He was just thrilled to know that this was a class he could take. He has always had an affinity for the role that sexuality plays in the human psyche. His first hand experience(s) gives him a definite edge in the class.

Least Favorite Class: Business � He thinks all of those mathematical details are complete rubbish, considering his family's business isn't made in numbers but rather in blackmail.

Personality: Kisoku is a normally bright and bubbly person. He feels that it doesn't do anyone any good to mope around all day. This doesn't mean that he never feels an ounce of negativity. In fact, he rarely ever represses his depressing emotions. However, he ignores these emotions and pushes through them so that he can at least act happy around others. He is incredibly flirtatious, flaunting himself for all to see. He is a romantic at heart and gets no greater thrill than when he is seeking out Mr. Right. He is highly defensive and remains as cautious as possible with people until he gets to know them or does a background check on them. If he finds any troublesome spot on them, he will not hesitate to politely send said person packing.

Appearance: Kisoku looks quite out of the ordinary for most men in his line of work. He is tall and thin, weighing in at 142 lbs. for his 5 feet 11 inches of height, with some lean muscle on his arms, stomach, and thighs. He has incredibly pale skin since he doesn't go out much during the day. His hair is bleached to a platinum blond color, but his natural hair color is a medium brown. His hair is fairly long for a guy. It comes down to the top of his neck and falls in thin wisps in his face. He usually doesn't do anything to it, but for special occasions, he'll slick it back for an even more androgynous look. As a matter of fact, androgyny is the word to describe his style. His casual/club clothing, hair and make-up are very much like the 70s glam rock style. He wears vinyls, fish- netting, glitter, feathers, and various other things that make him stand out. Sometimes, his style can show an obvious gothic-influence, but that is a rarity. No matter what, he will almost always have on at least basic eye-liner. Most of the time, he also wears lip gloss, eye shadow, blush, and glitter. He won't step foot in a club without heavy glitter and eye-shadow. He tends to be a bit more reserved during the day, sticking to muted colors for his make-up. Much to his dismay, he does have to dress somewhat normal for his work. He will usually stick to something fashionable and understated, but he always wears his eyeliner. He has a series of raised white lines on his upper arms. These are from a time in his teens when he attempted suicide.

Social Status: Having money, charm, and good looks makes Kisoku a very popular boy. He is well-respected in the business world, much loved in the nightclub scene, and a favorite amongst friends.

Love Life: Kisoku has slept with and fallen in love with many men. He is completely 100% homosexual, but he has been known to flirt with women as a sport. He keeps his sexuality as downplayed as possible because of public image. He is the type of fellow to look for one- night stands and wind up committing to horrible would be long-term relationships. He wants true love more than anything else. However, at the moment, he is in no rush to settle down with one person. He has been in one two-year relationship and has been almost ready to do that again when his heart was broken. After his relationship with Romeo, he returned back to his promiscuous lifestyle. If he does settle down with one person, he will make it clear that he will be fooling around with other men on the side.

Family, Friends:

Adam Capulet � Adam is a 40-year-old businessman. His tactics have often been called cruel and cunning, but he is actually a very loving man when it comes to his friends and family. He loves his son dearly, and he feels overwhelming guilt when he thinks of how much he has failed to protect his son from. He is now focused on making his son as much of a thick-skinned businessman as he is. Though he has money, fame, and power, the most valuable things in his life hands down are his son, Kisoku, and darling wife, Caressa.

Caressa Mercedes-Capulet (Loving Touch of Mercies) � Caressa Mercedes was a beautiful, young, sweet, warm-hearted model who was in the right place at the right time. At the age of 18, she attended a lavish party thrown by the Capulets to launch their newest automobile. It was there that she met the 30-year-old Adam Capulet, and the two immediately hit it off. Their age difference made waves in the public eye, but the two were so in love that they barely noticed and didn't care at all. Caressa soon after met Adam's 10-year- old son Kisoku, who was still recovering from his trying ordeal the previous year. She thought he was the cutest little boy, and it broke her heart to see him so damaged at such a young age. Adam and Caressa continued to see each other for two years before the two were married. All the while, Caressa devoted herself to being the kind of woman that Kisoku could trust. Eventually, Kisoku warmed up to the woman's affections, and he was delighted when she married his father. Being so close to her stepson's age, she is both Kisoku's pal and the only mother figure in his life. She encouraged him to do some modeling in his high school years. Though he enjoyed it, his heart was never really in it until it became useful to the company.

Kein Montague � Kisoku's twin brother and former lover. Under the alias "Romeo", he dated Kisoku for three months only to lash out on his "Juliet" after discovering his true identity. The two have since become heavy competitors in the business world, vying for both the economic stats and time in the social spotlight.

Eve Montague � Kisoku's mother. He doesn't know much about the woman, except for the fact that she abandoned him and most likely sent the kidnappers after him.

Yumeomiru Samezameto � Sam was Kisoku's first boyfriend and longest lasting relationship. The two started off as being good friends during Kisoku's junior year. During that year, Kisoku came to accept the fact that he was gay, and unable to cope with the overwhelming feeling that he was a failure to his family, he tried to commit suicide. Sam was the person who found in the boys' bathroom and saved him. The incident brought the two much closer together, so close in fact, that they started dating. When the end of Kisoku's senior year rolled around, he decided that it would be best for the both of them if they split up and expanded their dating horizons. The two remained best friends (with benefits), and Kisoku all too happily agreed to join Sam's band Wingless.

Nazoko Capulet � Kisoku's devoted cousin and chief info finder for Capulet Motors. She is an exceptional hacker who moved to New Eden to find Kisoku during the kidnapping incident. She is one year younger than Kisoku, but she had proved invaluable to the family for her blackmailing skills. Her hacking jobs are virtually untraceable. She has also been trained heavily in martial arts, and became an extra bodyguard for her cousin when he goes out and about. She is a year ahead of her grade, and has, therefore, attended every single class with her cousin as an extra means of protection.

Birthplace: He was born in the best room of the best hospital in New Eden. Soon after his birth, he was placed in his mother's arms along with his twin brother. On some nights, he can almost remember that strong connection to his blood relatives.

Current Residence: Kisoku lives in a classy upscale apartment complex. His apartment is the nicest one in the building. It is two floors and decorated lavishly with the best of the best. He has a stereo system that runs through his entire house. His security is top notch. His room d�cor varies from a classical feel (complete with tapestries, heavy and ornate window drapery and chandeliers) to country comfort. His bedroom is spacious with a great view of the city. He keeps his home very neat and clean, with only minimum help from maid services (you just can't trust their sticky fingers, y'know).

History:

A long time ago, two friends started a small motor company in Japan. What has seemed at first as a money guzzling failure, eventually turned into the beginnings of a multimillion dollar enterprise. As Verona Motors grew, so did the egos of the two founders. They took on the last names of famous literary Veronians. The Montagues and Capulets were on top of the world, but all was not well in paradise. To make their way to the top, the two founders had used very underhanded methods, but each disagreed with the other's stance. The Capulets were fond of blackmail. They believed that it was better to destroy a man's reputation than destroy his chance to correct the error of his ways. The Montagues, on the other hand, thought it better to simply kill a man, rather than drag his life through the mud. In the end, the two decided to split the company in half due to these irrevocable differences.

And from this schism, Capulet Motors was born. The car company continued at a steady pace, but the Capulets decided that they wanted more. Unable to push the motor industry any further, they branched out into the world of fashion and entertainment, making a healthy, steadily growing conglomerate for themselves.

However powerful the two business superpowers were, both companies realized the extent of their power and the need for their survival. While the whole world seemed to be going crazy, a man named Prometheus offered mankind a chance for a better world. Filled with hope, Adam Capulet and Eve Montague, who had secretly fallen in love, decided to elope to New Eden, under the guise of continuing their family's business. By the time their families had discovered the true nature of their flight, the couple was too far away to be touched. In addition, the New Eden branches thrived so much that neither family complained. Adam and Eve lived happily together for a few good years. Even gave birth to twin sons, Kisoku and Kein, whose parents pampered them endlessly. However, when the twins were almost three, Eve started to have doubts. Though she had once been madly in love with Adam, homesickness along with a feeling that she had betrayed her family, made her have second thoughts about going to New Eden. One night, Eve took her precious son, Kein, from the place where the two brothers slept and disappeared without a trace. Adam was left alone to raise Kisoku. He was completely devastated and heart-broken, so he decided to throw all of his energy into building his business and raising his son. At the time, Kisoku couldn't understand where his mother and brother had gone to, but he was still saddened by the absence. It was a few years later before Kisoku realized that he had been abandoned their, and once he could grasp the full extent of that abandonment, he became incredibly depressed. As a child, he was very introverted and kept to himself most of the time. He didn't want to make any new friends because he was afraid to lose anyone else. As much as his loneliness hurt him at the time, things were only fated to get worse for the young Capulet.

Kisoku was nine, and he had forgotten what his mother and brother had looked like. Details that had once been planted in his heart had begun to fade away with the sands of time. Though the pain was still there, it hurt a lot less than it had before. At the same time, the Montagues had sent Eve back to New Eden to claim the market. Unfortunately, they had fallen significantly behind Capulet Motors in the six-year period, so they chose to resort to more unorthodox business practices. They sought out and made exclusive deals with the best assassins in New Eden. In addition, Eve chose to play her cards right and cause as direct harm as possible to Adam. One day, when Kisoku was playing ball with a few other children in the school playground, he kicked the ball too far and was forced to go into the bushes to get it. Due to tree and bush coverage, his bodyguard couldn't properly see him. Five minutes later, no one could find the young Capulet heir.

Hours later, a frantic Adam found out through his sources that his son had been kidnapped by the Montagues and was being held as collateral that the Montagues would halve their productivity, under the guise of periodic "downsizing". Adam kept up appearances, making it look as if he was slowly downsizing to keep it secret from the public eye, and the Montagues were satiated. However, he was really buying time for his own men to find his son. Meanwhile, Kisoku spent an agonizing three weeks in captivity. When the rescue team finally found him, he was battered, bruised, and obviously deeply psychologically scared. It was quite a few therapy sessions later that his family discovered that he had been repeatedly abused and molested by his kidnappers. The incident only added to the boy's mistrust of people and feelings of inadequacy.

Adam clung to his child even more tightly, and they shared a year of recovery in which the only people they could trust were each other. That is�until Adam met Caressa. Caressa Mercedes was a beautiful, sweet, intelligent young model, and Adam loved her from the moment he met her. Caressa helped both Adam and Kisoku recover from the incident, and soon became the staple support of the Capulet family. Kisoku quickly took the woman, and he truly thinks of her as his real mother. Caressa gave Kisoku a renewed hope that he was worthy of being loved. The young woman proved to him that real mothers don't abandon a good boy and send people to cause him harm. The family finally began to function as a normal family should.

Kisoku went to high school, happy and healthy thanks to a newly adjusted family life. He opened up and became quite popular amongst the students, especially the girls. He dated many girls, popular and geeks alike, but in the summer before his junior year, he felt that something was missing when he made friends with a boy named, Sam. He watched Sam's openly sexual behavior, and begun to question his own sexually. A month or so later, he came to terms with the fact that he was gay, but even though he accepted it as the truth, he hated himself for it. He couldn't properly keep his family lineage going. He felt as though he was a disgrace to the family name. Most of all, he once again felt as though he were the son who deserved to be left behind. His self-hatred drove him to a suicide attempt, and if it hadn't been for the fact that his friend, Sam had found him in time, he would've died in the boys' bathroom of his school. After the suicide attempt, his parents encouraged him to live as openly homosexual as he pleased because they were incredibly concerned for the boy's mental health. Still overcome with guilt, the best Kisoku could muster up was a compromise of being "fashionably bisexual" for the public. He grew even closer to his savior, Sam, and the two began an intense relationship that lasted for almost two years. However, when Kisoku graduated from high school, he decided that he couldn't limit his experience to one relationship. From looking at his father's life, he knew that love could come more than once, so he broke things off with Sam and sought out new experiences. At first, he did his best to distance himself from Sam, lest he be tempted to go crawling back, but he soon found that it was equally wonderful being Sam's best friend. He even joined Sam's band Wingless as lead guitarist.

Kisoku went through a whole string of short-term relationships that kept his heart broken for nearly two years. Though he was pretty against it, his friend forced him to go to a singles masquerade party where he met a man in a mask who he knew only as "Romeo". What he thought would be a one-night stand turned into a three-month relationship. They continued to see each other under their false names, claiming that they both had important reasons to remain anonymous. Romeo was everything that Kisoku had ever wanted. The man was sweet, charming, caring, stable, and loved playing the knight in shining armor. Just when Kisoku thought he had found something better than Sam that he could commit too, tragedy struck. His father fell ill just before a car convention when the hot new Capulet line was to be unveiled. All too willing to take up his father's burden, he attended the convention, where much too his dismay, the Montagues were also showing off their stock. He found a familiar face among the Montagues. His step-mother pointed his Romeo out as none other than the Montague heir, Kein Montague, his twin brother. He felt utterly heart-broken and betrayed, letting out a string of angry words at his brother before storming off.

Writing Sample:

"As you can see, there's been a significant increase in the sale of bathroom fixures..."

Kisoku let out a long, drawn-out yawn, and were he anyone but the son of the CEO of the Capulet Company, he'd probably get a roomful of dirty looks from the other executives attending the meeting. Luckily for him, he outranked all of them, and he didn't have to take slack from anyone except his father.

"Bathroom fixures are fine and dandy, Wilson... but what makes any of this information pertinent and worth my time? I need to know what you plan to do about our obviously faulty advertising campaign. Don't start spouting bullshit figures, trying to weasel your way out of doing your job efficiently." The young Capulet growled, resting his cheek in his hand. "What is the flaw in our plans?"

"W-we-well, sir... I-I..."

"You still haven't figured it out yet have you?"

"N-n-n... no sir..."

"Well, in that case, I think we're all wasting our time here, aren't we?" With that said, Kisoku rose to his feet, leaving the conference room. One more waste of time, and he'd have to start handing out pink slips. Some of these idiots were absolutely intolerable. He rounded the corner of some cubicles, making his way into his office. He flopped down in his executive chair, staring out at the city. He barely showed up to work at all, and he knew more than half of the people slaving away for the company.

"So much for faith in the older generation..." He chuckled, kicking his legs up on the desk and writing up an outline detailing the major flaws of Capulet advertising. If his research proved reliable, poor Wilson would soon be looking for a new job. It was cruel, yes, but New Eden was a cruel place, full of heartless people. No one knew this better than Kisoku Capulet.
