Nightmares
Kyle is a smaller kid. Standing only 5' 0" rather thin and pale. His black hair often partially obstructs his face. His clothes are simple. Black T-shirts and a pair of blue jeans, day in a day out. Behind his glasses are his pale blue eyes set into a fairly handsome face marred by a scar on the bridge of his nose, a result of early bullying. He walks head always looking about. His hands often end up in his pockets when he can't find another use for them.
Kyle could be described as an outcast. He's fairly intelligent but lacks a certain social confidence. He often doesn't speak unless someone asks him a direct question. Feeling more content to let other people carry on the conversations. However, despite this introvert nature, he's fairly confident elsewhere in his life. He's adept at academics. Outside of school he's quite the daredevil. He skateboards and free-runs, never afraid of injury. He's never afraid to go exploring the darkest of places around his neighbourhood. Some say he is without fear at all.
However it's when he gets ready for bed every night when he shows how truly terrified he really is. Kyle is plagued by chronic nightmares which wake him in a cold sweat every morning. He's often prone to sitting in bed all night doing anything but succumb to the inevitable sleep. In the mornings he's often visibly shaken by the night before but after this many years of dealing with the issue he puts everything to the back of his mind and does everything he can to keep his mind off the night previous.
Kyle carries with him a small engraved pocket knife given to him by his grandfather before he died.
Kyle has suffered his nightmares as long as he can remember. Now at 11 he has learned at least to deal with the after effects and no one really notices anymore. His parents mostly ignored him due to their own constant in fighting. As a result of all this Kyle has had to develop a strong sense of self dependence. His lack of social confidence has lead to some bullying in his youth which simply left him more outcast. As a result he hasn't many friends and no one he could consider a true friend, not that he minds.
He has recently moved into Hallowed Hills where both of his parents have found jobs.
