extra ● soundtrack ● scenes ● connections ● ooc basics [top.] NAME: Kalen (Kay-len) Christopher James. GOES BY: Kale (Kay-ul). AGE AND DOB: 251; 6th June, 1768. SPECIES: Therianthrope; wolf. Born. CAREER: Beta. CURRENT RESIDENCE: The Factory; wherever the Raidan Pack is. MARTIAL STATUS: Still considers himself mated despite what happened. SEXUALITY: Heterosexual. ETHER: Yes though he uses rarely since Evie. Kale is like a shot of whiskey, something harsh which makes you cough and splutter, there is no warning to him. He's a shot, the taste of gunpowder and the rush of the bullet passed your ear. supernatural [top.] ABILITIES THE WOLF Like all therianthropes Kale has the ability to transform into a wolf. For Kalen it is a large, black beast of a wolf. Heavy set and thick furred he isn't one of the wolves which will be easily mistaken for a stray dog, there's too much meat and muscle to him. Not that he minds that. Coat is very thick which is good for winter when they're in cold climates or for protecting the softer flesh below. It's a deep black with very little marring it. Eyes are a deep wolfen gold, a rich sort of cool which in the more recent years had a gold kind of flinty feel to them. [x] SKILLS: Odds and ends. He's lived for 251 years so he knows this and that. How to pick a lock, hot wire a car, breaking and entering, covering things up for the good of the Pack. Kale doesn't think he's skilled at any one thing really. Once upon a time he was very good with his hands and his hobby was making furniture, especially for his and Evie's home but... it has been a long time since he did anything like that. LIMITATIONS: Many. Kale has a short, short temper since his mate broke him a little. Prone to violence at the drop of a hat, it's easy to see why he has got the position of Beta. Very, very dependent on people. Most people don't know how dependent he is on Syn, not even Kale really. Ever since Evie left he's needed the balance and reassurance of Syn and the dysfunctionallity of the Pack. Blind loyality. The Raidan are... not a nice Pack, they are not the kind of Pack Kale grew up, they're not the kind of Pack Kale would chose for him and his mate but since she left and they were all he had he's had a blind sort of loyalty for them. There is nothing he would not do for Syn and Pack. WEAPONRY TRAINING: Kale was trained as a Pack enforcer from an early, early age. His father was the Beta of the Reynard Pack and he taught his son everything he knew; hand to hand,the use of blade and gun, using every inch of himself as a weapon on both two legs and four. Kale deserves his spot as Beta, he has trained hard and continues to train hard. He is a ruthless fighter but not dirty, he's honesty which can often be a bit of a downfall, especially in the Raidan Pack. GROUP: The Raidan; Syn's Pack. POSITION: The Beta. OPINION: They're his life, he has surrounded himself with them and he needs them in ways he doesn't even know. ALLIANCES: The Pack and nothing but the Pack. RIVALRIES: Everyone else. appearance [top.] There's an almost compact-ness to Kale. Standing at about 5"10 he isn't the tallest guy around nor is he the bulkiest but he's pure toned muscle which gives him a definite solid feel. Evie always used to say he was neat rather than small. He's compact, tight and coiled just ready to spring. He works out regularly and is often in fights and so he is well built in that respect though he does have a more swimmers build than anything. There's a dark sort of air to him, it clings to him in a broody sort of way and usually gives off the vibe that he is not a guy you want to go near, not someone you want to mess with. There's a sort of ruggard handsome-ness to him though this is kind of toned down by his usual lick of stubble and harsh scowl which he wears. He no longer has much pride in his appearances, keeping in darker, neutral colours. He isn't the type to go out looking for women so there's no need for him to look pleasing to the eye, Evie was the only one who mattered. DISTINGUISHING MARKS: As he's been both a Beta and an Enforcer Kale has seen a lot of fights but due to both positions as of yet most of them he has won, otherwise he wouldn't be here to tell the tale. His body is littered with a number of scars and he can likely drag the stories up for each though he wouldn't, he isn't really the type to launch into story time with anyone. personality [top.] Fucked up. Kale is well and truly fucked up. He hasn't always been like this, not always been a broken wolf. There are layers and locks and too much grit and dirt to Kale, he's lost and buried and they've lost the key. On first impressions he's a dark growl, something unpleasant who is more likely to stare at you than try and have a conversation. There are few who receive something akin to a smile. Grouchy, aggressive, there is nothing remotely nice to Kale up front. He cuts to the chase and he doesn't take your fucking shit. But that isn't really Kale. That isn't who he wants to be, that isn't who he used to be either. Some of his good traits shine through at times; he's highly protective of those in his Pack, he's loyal to a fault, he's willing to put himself in danger to help those in the Raidan. Just little bits which hint at the wolf beneath, the warm man who used to laugh and chase his mate, to play and joke, to love. He was a kind man, sweet, romantic, utterly loving. He would do anything for Evie and she was his life, his light and he was never 'too man' to admit either. He was completely and utterly in love with Evie and for him that would never, ever change. Now though? He's cynical, bitter, and a huge womanizer who thinks they're mainly pathetic bitches who like to use you up, make you love them until they leave. Kale truly believes Evie left him, that she decided she didn't love him any more, didn't want him, that he wasn't good enough and such belief has left him... worse for wear. Some say crazy, others say he's only lost a sandwich or two. Kale has a massive temper now; he's quick to violence and it really isn't pretty. While he doesn't... quite enjoy the misery of others he likes the rush and pain he gets from a good fight. You will often find him at the Factory, in the pit bloodied and bruised and shouting for more. Despite his position in the Pack he isn't an ambitious wolf, there isn't that kind of drive to him. He merely wants to protect, to help, to be the one who keeps them safe. His father is the man he looks up to, the man who he wishes to be and he still aspires to be just like him, not matter how off the path he has gone. history [top.] FAMILY FATHER: Charles James (deceased). MOTHER: Sarah James (deceased). SIBLING(S): Katherine James (little sister, unknown). Kale James' childhood was normal; or as normal as a childhood could be for a werewolf. He was the son of the Beta of the Reynard Pack and had high expectations put on his shoulders due to his father's position within the pack. For the most part the Reynard Pack is one of the quieter packs, having settled in a small town in Georgia they enjoyed the easy and peaceful life away from any other packs. Thier was little of note in those early years; he remembers a few rogues, a few squirmishes within the pack but all in all life with the pack was slow and easy. From a young age Kale admired his father, believing him to be the strongest ever despite not being the Alpha, it made him aspire to be just like him. As the son of the beta it only stood to reason that he would train to become an enforcer, standing beside his father to protect the pack, such a job was seen as an honour. Kale enjoyed his time as such, training along side the other enforcers, proving himself to those around him. Kale had no ambitions to become Alpha, he was content and happy with enforcer with the hopes of one day becoming a Beta. He worked hard; very, very hard and he proved himself time and time again. There was a soft playfulness to him at times but he always took his job seriously, he made sure to keep his head in the game and he was always pushing himself, demanding more and more from himself. Evelyn was beautiful, the kind of beautiful which made him stop and stare, which took his breath away. At first he didn't quite know what was going on, his father just chuckling at the boy as he circled her. She made him laugh, made him smile even on the darkest days when everything hurt from training and he hadn't yet bested his father. She was kind words on a hurting soul, she was a balme and he loved her long before he even knew it. Evie was grace and light to his touch of darkness, to his rough strength. She was soft against his hard muscle, a smile which lit the room and his heart. It didn't take the two of them long to realise what they had, the connection they shared. Where some may argue, may fight this odd tug Kale easily went along, he was in love with her, truly and completely and there was little which could come between them. Any teasing from his fellow pack mates was met with a smirk. He didn't care, he had the most beautiful girl of the Pack and he wasn't going to take their shit on. Life was so good for so long. The two of them had the wolves version of a marriage, Evie taking on Kale's last name and the two began a life together, made a home and plans. It was one of those easy, lazy, happy lives which he loved, he would never ask for anything different. For a long time his happiest moments were the quiet ones spent with Evie, her sprawled across him as they lazily whiled the day away or her watching him work on this and that. Good doesn't last though, happiness doesn't go on forever without some bumps in the road. Their first bump was a big one though. They were lucky to have so long without incident. Oh, there were some rogue packs, some strays who sauntered through but nothing they couldn't handle, nothing which Kalen and the other enforcers didn't delight in. Kale still has no idea who they are or where they came from but he knows the sounds of his Pack being ripped apart, he knows what it's like to watch his mother fall, to see death on his father's eyes and feel the Alpha ripped from their very souls. Kale knows what it is like to feel devastation and to wake blood soaked and ruined. Evie... she was alive, he thank God and every deity who may be for that. They had lost so much but he had kept his life, his heart. He still had his Evie. Not for long though. There was no way the two of them could stay there, in the ruins of their town, broken and alone and so they ran, and ran until he felt it was safe to stop. Stopping was foolish. It didn't take long for the Raidan to find them and the lost wolves, so broken and desolate latched on. The Raidan was the first Pack they came across, the first Pack to offer them safety and the grieving couple took it gladly. Foolish, how foolish of them. The Raidan were a harsh Pack, bloodlusting but Kale didn't see that, he was swayed by the need for a home, for Pack and he stayed. It was mere weeks later that it happened. Kale had lost so much in that one night and he was barely holding on, fragmented and broken, it was Evie who was keeping him together... what would he do without her? He'd soon find out. Kale believes she left, took off in the night. Why? He has no idea but he hates her for it, for abandoning him, for leaving him, for betraying him, for not loving him enough to stay. He has no idea of the truth, what really went on and what the wolves of the Raidan did to her. If he did? Oh, blood would spill. Instead he turned into the Raidan, allowed them to catch him and mould him, to make him into something new and twisted, an angry snarl who wants nothing more than violence. Slowly he worked his way up the ranks, latching on to Syn who whispered sweetly into Kalen's ear. Evie was not needed, she didn't love him like Syn loved him. It didn't take much for his mind to twist and break, for that passionate love to become something perverted and wrong. He still feels her, it still hurts like a piece of glass cutting into his heart every second of the day. He's loyal to Syn, loyal to the Pack and he's a good little Beta, keeping them in line and in check. extra [top.] ● Often 'sees' Evie, he's not mad enough to believe it's hurt but at times his mind does trick him. She's always wearing his favourite red dress though her personality isn't always his Evie. soundtrack [top.] ♪ Linkin Park; In Pieces.
