Akio, Kane
Character Information
House Preference: Lagamore
Appearance: Almost purely Japanese, Kane bears all the tell tale signs of Asian ethnicity. A jet-black, crudely cut mop serves as a head of hair, often dangling over his eyes and spilling over his ears in jagged clumps. Every day, it seems to shift into a new style while maintaining the scruffyness of� a �ragamuffin�. His eyes are almond shaped by nature, but he lives life with them wide open and this feature seems to lose itself. More often than not, his eyes resemble everyone else�s, giving off the illusion that he claims no race or foreign heritage. However, when relaxed, exhausted, or just plain inattentive, his eyes slip back into their original shape. Kane�s skin is a milky white, contrasting sharply with his hair and dark brown eyes. The tone is unusual for his ethnicity, hinting to a possible break in his heritage. There is a vague hint of a Caucasian ancestor, but not enough to truly stand out and separate him from the stereotype. His built is small and slender, complete with slim, almost spindly limbs. His smile is by far his most versatile expression. His lips seem to have so many different methods of expressing himself, whether with a soft, gentle smile, or a grin that only a fool could sport. His face never remains still for long, almost always compelled to express him, one way or another. When left to his own devices, his wardrobe consists of very loose, long-sleeved t-shirts (prefers the sleeves to reach his knuckles) and zip jackets. As for the pants department, big and baggy are nice. Of course, too baggy is just plain unnecessary, so he likes to keep them reasonably fitting. Ah, almost forgot. In his right ear, he wears two silver rings. His left sports two gold ones. Sometimes he alternatives, or keeps a gold and silver on each ear. Last but not least, scars: One long in his back (shoulder blade to lower back) from some nasty encounters with some not-so-nice glass, and some others littered all over, but much smaller than the prominent one on his backside.
Notable Traits: Versatility and contagious optimism. Also known for ability to be utterly and completely weird one moment, then amazingly composed in the next.
Personality: Kane was raised in the Roman Catholic religion and likes to be a nice person, most of the time� A firm believer in justice and integrity, Kane strives to fill his life with the good things, not the bad things. Murder: bad. Horses: good. The list goes on. Though he longs to live a happy life, he can�t help but remain what he is: human. Being human leads to making mistakes, which he does quite often. Cigarettes tempt him, as do the nice drugs so many people like to put in their brownies. To put it simple and oddly, he drifts. His moods can be rather unpredictable, but hardly volatile. Very rarely is he ever dangerous. He has too gentle a nature for anything violent. Though, whenever he is violent, then it�s definitely not his fault. Kane likes puppies. You can�t love puppies and murder a pregnant mother in the same day. So says the way of Ness. So, basically, you�ve got a nice guy at heart, working with his raging teenage hormones as best he can, which doesn�t always work out so nicely. Can�t blame him for trying. At least he tries to work it out� Look, people just don�t work well with words. You�ve got the basics. Watch Kane and learn for yourself.
History: Kane is what I like to call a Fluke. A gap in the gene pool. He comes from a long line of very cruel, indecent people. His mother and father met while both trying to buy cocaine from the same dealer. Now, his father was wearing the power pants and figured he could just beat the girl into to giving him that handy-dandy, but she just looked so mesmerizing with that straw up her nose. It was all love and roses from then on� crazy roses and the love that burns the hair off your back. The couple was an odd one, spending their time disgracing their families (who had quickly disowned the both of them long ago). Both did their time in a few select prisons for minor offences. Most of the time, after their marriage, they spent clawing at each other�s throats. They dodged authorities from here to there, never dwelling in one place for very long. They began in L.A. and returned to L.A. a few years after their shenanigans got tiresome. Then, they settled down in East Compton and made the terrible decision to reproduce. What happened next was a perfect example of why you should NOT drink while pregnant. The two were drunk off their ass, wandering down the street while Kane�s mother was merely a week from delivery. The two darted into an alleyway to be evil, evil people, when she went into labor, right there in a dumpster. And thus, Kane was born, a different breed of dumpster baby. By some miracle, Tetanus eluded him. In fact, so did anything normal. He grew up all ghetto-riffic, enjoying the simple pleasures of kicking around empty cans of beer and watching the cops wrestle some overweight punkass fool trying to prove himself �hard core�. Then, one day, during a particularly heated fight with his parents, Kane lost his temper. That�s when his mother�s ovaries exploded, rendering her sterile. She spent a long while in the hospital while doctors tried to figure out what happened. Months went by without a plausible cause before life slowly returned to normal. When he was eleven, another series of fights ensued, mostly between his father regarding his hatred towards his family. The kid just watched way too much Sesame Street and Blues Clues. Apparently, his friends believed in living a decent life. Hell, a couple of them brought him to church and to a few classes. But no, daddy and mommy were evil and needed to be told so. His father, fed up and sick of all this foolishness, turned the quarrel into a downright brawl. Kane, being the scraggily kid that he was, did little more than bite and annoy the man to death. But, he angered the man enough to bring him to the point of no return. He grabbed Kane and sent him flying through the upstairs window (the window! The window! The second story window! With a heave and a ho�). Kane took most of the beating from the breaking glass as he fell, but just before he hit the ground, he stopped, merely inches from the surface of the lawn. Figuring it God�s doing, he ran for his life. Not long after, he was tracked down by the county�s magical response unit and set him straight. And thus began his magical adventures into� stuff. Through relocation programs, he managed to get himself into Shastina Academy. As a third year, Kane�s main goal is to perfect his ongoing project: becoming an animagi. So far, he�s never been able to make it through successfully, though he was able to grasp the magic very early. It takes him at least three tries and he often gets stuck between transformations, maintaining several of his canine qualities for a while after returning his normal state.
