The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each.

Kyran is a very energetic young man who prefers to stick to the sidelines rather than to push himself to be the center of attention, especially since the way he grew up wasn't essentially ideal. His parents over-coddling and giving him whatever he wanted if he so much as asked for it got boring real quick. Being able to afford whatever he wanted meant that he saw himself as above those who couldn't afford anything, often calling them commoners and treating them rather harshly in many situations. Due to this, he doesn't seem to regard others' feelings in any situation, even if it means severely hurting their feelings; after all, they say the truth sets you free, and Kyran isn't the type to lie--plus he is unable to relate to anyone on a emotional level. If someone were to come to him for emotional support, he'd be unable to give it to them, mostly because he can't understand how anyone else feels other than himself. Most would assume that Kyran is an extrovert, but that would be incorrect as he doesn't like gaining the attention of others and prefers to mostly stick to the sidelines as he always has. Yet, the way he acts sometimes makes him seem extroverted, but that is incorrect; he just prefers to deal with himself over others--he's a pretty selfish guy.

He also has lots of trouble with introducing himself to others as he is an overly emotional person and generally over-thinks most things. With this being said, Kyran has a hot temper waiting to be sparked at any moment. He can get upset over the simplest of things, especially if they aren't quite going his way. He rarely, if ever, worries about anyone else; the only person he worries about is his best friend. Being left alone to himself for most of his childhood caused Kyran to become something of a dreamer, always thinking about things that could have been rather than things that happened. This always has him lost in his thoughts as he tries to navigate through them on a day to day basis. This causes him to forget or ignore where he is, especially when he's around others, and also causes him to get things done at a very slow pace and leave huge messes behind in his wake. Most of the things he does are driven by pure curiosity of figuring out new things. He is also creative, opting to play the piano when he is able to. His love for the piano is the one thing grounding him in his life.

2) Write about the history of your character. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? It must be at least three paragraphs long, seven sentences each.

Kyran's birth parents were that couple who never wanted a kid and when she found out she was annoyed and told her boyfriend that she was indeed pregnant. He wasn't ecstatic either, quite the opposite but nonetheless he told her to have the child and well 9 months later she gave birth to the child, but she didn't know how hard it was going to be. His birthname being Rhee Il Sung, which which would later be changed to Kyran Camilleri. Which in turn caused her to neglect the child, her boyfriend leaving her a few months before. What she didn't know was that Kyran was having trouble seeing, constantly blinking his eyes everytime he was awake or keeping them closed in any kind of light. If his mother had actually taken him to the doctor's she would of known what the illness he happened to have. Alas she didn't want to take him and instead mostly focused on herself until a couple years later. She couldn't do it anymore and decided to give him up, she hated the kid anyway and it was too draining for her to continue. It wasn't like he would have a good life if he stayed.

So that's when she decided to put him for adoption and also when he was finally checked out by doctors. He hadn't been to a hospital or a doctor's office in his life, minus when he was born, by this time there was already significant damage done to his eyes due to the untreated glaucoma. The damage done to his eye was irreversible and could not be treated due to it already causing so much damage to both of his eyes and he was already blind, at the mere age of two. If it had been the year before, it would of been treatable and Kyran would of been able to at least keep some of his sight, but of course it was already too late and due to his neglectful mother nothing could be done.

It wasn't too much longer, maybe 7 months, before he was adopted, age 3, by a couple who happened to live in Malta, a small island nation near Italy. It was a definite change for him, one because of the slight language barrier and two because he was given whatever he wanted and need. Although he spoke mostly English because he had been born in England, and they spoke mostly Italian and only a little bit of English, just enough to get by. It wasn't long until Kyran had started to pick up on the language, it being easier as he was also put into tutoring to learn braille and not really getting to go out. His parents were practically coddling him making it to where he was in some kind of protective bubble of sorts. They didn't even let him outside unless he had someone with him, they rarely let him even leave the houses grounds unless they were with him, both of his parents and even then that was rare seeing as they didn't want him to get hurt, at least that was the guise they put it under. In all actuality they didn't want others to see him yet and at all if it were possible mostly because they were nervous about what some would think of the young child and didn't quite want him in the spotlight of the community just yet. So, They hired private people to teach him piano and any other thing he would want to learn. In this, his schooling was mainly done by private teachers and tutors ones they trusted enough to teach him.

When he was 7, his parents finally got things up and running in their careers and needed someone to be able to take care of Kyran. In all honesty they wanted someone that they trusted, someone who would watch him 24/7. They turned to a long time family friend, more like someone whose family generally served Theirs for a very very long time. They asked the woman to watch their son and turned out that Kyran would also have a friend, someone his own age to be around. The kid would only prove to be a nuisance to him and he'd even be dubbed as a gross commoner for a while, until they finally started to grow close, Kyran learning that calling someone gross wasn't a nice thing. So he just went around calling Cheol a commoner, never actually stopping even when he was told over and over again to stop. The behaviour between the continued on for a rather long time, not once changing in between.

It was when he was 9 that he had his first magical experience, he simply walked into something and nearly fell down a set of steps but instead of falling and hurting, he fell and bounced until he was safely at the bottom, he shrugged it off as a weird phenomenon and continued on like that for awhile until he got his letter to Hogwarts, and various other closer schools, when he was 11. When his mother saw it and read it, she was absolutely nervous that her son would be allowed to go to such a place that was so far off, but she allowed it. To him, Hogwarts was a way to get some kind of freedom away from his parents, away from. The coddling and the prestigious life with which he been picked for.
