|General Appearance|
KJ stands just over six feet and has an intimidating build from a life of soccer and rugby. He's quite the gentle giant. Kane looks Irish with his reddish hair and light eyes, only perpetuating stereotypes about his ethnicity. Other than his height and weight, Kane has very few outstanding qualities. He has never wanted a tattoo, nor has he wanted piercings of any kind. But he does have scars. Some of them come from his work as a Runner, racing through the brush. But there are many that come from his recent run in with a gang. His nose is slightly crooked at one point from a break. His face and arms as well as his torso bear scars from knives.

|Personality|
Many who have never bothered to get to know KJ simply write him off as an ignorant brute. Perhaps he is at times. Kane has never truly found a love for the finer things in life. But he's a fun-loving person, and he's quite easy to get along with as long as his tendency to be a bit slow doesn't piss one off. To put it simply, KJ acts much like a dog does. He's often quite active and excited, much like a teenager who has never truly grown up. And why must he when he can be whatever he wants to be and has never truly needed to settle down and find a job? Those who know KJ know that he's a genuine person who never truly means anyone harm. It's probably what gave him the opportunity to be the town's Runner in the first place. Though he's been injured, his respect in the town certainly hasn't diminished, but sometimes he worries it has. Quite often, he finds himself worrying if perhaps he is more ignorant than he thinks, if perhaps he really is nothing more than a source of humor for his "friends".

|History|
Kane's life begins in Dublin, Ireland. His parents, Cedric and Mary, owned a flat above Mary's office where she practiced as a family doctor. Cedric, on the other hand, was an artist who worked out of their flat. It was Cedric who had been born a Shapeshifter though Mary was a carrier of the trait. She simply had never chosen to pursue the gift and therefore found it difficult to use overall. But Cedric had spent his childhood honing his skills, and he was often capable of going out for runs in the woods with his children as various creatures. Kane was born after an elder sister, Harriet, and alongside a twin sister, Gwen. Only he and Gwen, however, were ever capable of shifting.
As a boy, KJ often spent his time playing with his ability. Though Mary was initially apprehensive about letting the child explore his gift, Cedric argued that it was something he ought to understand. It would benefit him later in life. When KJ was ten, tension between his parents peaked and his father left Dublin. Though his mother kept her children in Dublin, Kane longed to join his father in America where he had settled in a town called Mystic Grove. His mother forbade him from using his powers, but he would often spend his time out in the forest by himself or with Gwen. Though he was never academically gifted, he was athletically gifted.
On an athletic scholarship, he left Dublin at 18 to attend college in America. Finally, he was able to see his father for the first time in years. KJ could have easily just run away at 18, but he hoped to play sports professionally. When he finally visited his father in Mystic Grove, however, he knew he couldn't leave. In fact, he would never see his sisters or mother again. Kane dropped out of college and moved in with his father, a very aged man by then, for he had not been very young when KJ was born. Mystic Grove was all he had ever wanted or hoped for: a place where he didn't have to hide his abilities. Quickly, and most likely thanks to his father, he gained the trust of the citizens of Mystic Grove.
When he was twenty-one, they appointed him as their Runner. He knew, of course, how important it was to the town to have a reliable Runner. For years he would serve them as well as he could. KJ had no fear when he did his job, for he knew that the others depended upon him to bring supplies in. When he was twenty-eight, however, tragedy struck.
His father died suddenly while he was out on a job. His focus was off for the next few runs, and it was during one of these runs that he was apprehended by a gang. They broke his nose and a few ribs and slashed at him with knives. He was quite lucky to return alive, but the recovery process was a long one indeed. He isn't jealous, per say, of the new Runner, but he does worry that it means the town no longer needs him like they once did.
