GENDER-IDENTIFICATION
Male
GENETIC ASSIGNMENT
Good
SEXUAL ORIENTATION
Homosexual
MISTAKE
Yes
Kenji isn't evil but he tries to look the part as much as possible. He tends to wear darker clothing, topped off with exaggerated bits and bobbles as accents. He carries himself in a nonchalant manner. Exaggerated movements, style, and make up gives him a flare for the theatrical but there is more underneath. His flamboyance gives off a certain charm in itself and he can be magnetic if he wants to be. He's certainly one to give a presence and appears to be on heck of a good time to be around if nothing else. To some, his theatrics may seem phony at first but he never stops playing his 'evil' persona around others so eventually his mask is taken as eccentricity and nothing more. His lack of bulk and his fair complexion make him look like an easy target but he has skills an tricks up his sleeves and he is no stranger to a good brawl.
EYES
Clear frosty blue
HAIR
black, occasionally bleached.
BODY TYPE
Lean
WARDROBE
Dark, fitting. Accented with jewelry.
ATHLETIC PROWESS
Kenji is not one to obsess about his gym habits or eating habits for that matter, but he does enjoy being active. He has a need to move and so often spends time running so despite his eating habits, he tends to stay pretty lean. And since it is a dog-eat-dog world, he has picked up a bit of street fighting which has given him sinewy muscle. His running habits also lead to minor par-cor though he hasn't pursued it beyond simple needs.
ESFJ-T
MORAL ALIGNMENT
True Neutral
POSITIVE TRAITS
+ Charismatic - can make most people at least enjoy his crazy company or make them laugh.
+ Empathetic - though he hides it, he is very empathetic and sympathetic for the plight of others and wants to help them.
+ Observant - though he acts like he doesn't care or notice, Kenji is perspective and makes mental notes about everything he comes across.
+ Acting - Since his alignment is good but he's stuck in the wrong camp, he's pretty good at acting. Or lying. Whatever you want to call it.
NEGATIVE TRAITS
- Obsessive - He hasn't really received a diagnosis, but Kenji is obsessed with neatness and order. He hates it when things change or his personal things are moved.
There is little in life he can control so he clings to what he can manipulate.
- Persona - since he has a certain role he plays, he doesn't act on his empathetic nature and actually help people if others are involved.
- Suspicious- considering the world they live in and where he resides, it understandable why he doesn't trust others with his secrets.
- Anger - Pretending to be what he's not often leads him into a situation where he is stuck between what he wants to do and what he has to and this tension builds until he snaps, becoming aggressive to those around him and truly making him look like maybe he does belong in the 'Bad Camp'
STRENGTHS
- Calculating nature is an asset when plans need to be thought out and details remembered.
- Since he likes to run, he's managed to build up a bit of endurance, should he ever be required to use it.
- acting - he finds it easy slipping into new roles considering the current one he is playing is a complete opposite of himself.
- Kenji has a knack for talking to people, whether it be his flamboyant charm he outwardly displays, or the rare instances when he is actually reaching out from his real empathy.
WEAKNESSES
- Kenji's dual nature is a source of frustration and when pushed into breaking down, his normal thinking becomes erratic and impulsive, and he can be spiteful, and then regret it later.
- Kenji has a huge soft spot for animals and his facade cracks around them, especially if they are in harms way. Same goes with children.
- Family is another weakness for him. Though he doesn't know his twin, he feels sorry for what they may be going through and wishes he knew them. He's sure they'd balance each other out someway. He also does love his parents who tried to be active in his life and were a source of comfort.
PERSONALITY
Kenji encompasses duality. On the inside and when no one can tell who heis, he is generous, empathetic, and had a soft smile waiting in the wings. Naturally, he is more contemplative and quiet and prefers watching over being the center of attention. If someone is in need of assistance, he tries to find a way to aid them, though only if the person in question can't find out it was him who helped them. He can be quite selfless if given the opportunity.
On the other hand however, he knows he's in the wrong camp and he doesn't want the others in the camp to realize that and take advantage of his nature. So, he's put up a facade for everyone. He is charismatic, eccentric, boarding on exaggerated flamboyance or nonchalant in actual situations. He tries to be his complete opposite and can come off apathetic. He won't usually go out of his way to bully others but he won't back down if others try to do it to him. He acts like a tough guy and pretends to enjoy every minute of being bad though the constant facade brings him personal and moral discomfort and turmoil. When the conflict gets bad enough, he turns reactive and aggressive, trying to quell the depression he feels brimming beneath the surface.
Surprisingly, his parents have been a source of aid for him. They worked in the camp and as a child growing up, they bought him little things like his favorite candies or things he might ask for if they were small. His parents were one of the few that have ever seen Kenji's real nature. Kenji is not sure if they believe he is the 'good twin' or if he was the bad twin that somehow became good. It doesn't really matter since regardless, they've been his shoulder to cry on and alleviate some of his pent up frustrations and despair.
SIBLING
Kenji doesn't know who his twin is but he wants to find out, meet them, share experiences. He really wants to form a sibling bond with them.
HISTORY
Kenji grew up mostly reserved and cautious, always feeling trapped. He was a rabbit in a wolf's den and he knew he didn't belong. For a while, he thought there was something wrong with him but over the years he'd come to realize that he was just placed in the wrong camp. He started focusing more on surviving the place and tried to mimic those around him. As he began to learn the role, he was picked on and seen as weak since he was quite and shy. He'd had his fair share of bullying and beat downs but from them, he learned how to act the part. Slowly, he adapted and every time he wanted to react as he normally would, he had to push it down and actively do what he knew to be wrong. It made him out to be cruel which weighed heavily on him. He felt very alone, and part of him still does. His parents became very important to him during these years as he acclimated and sought their support and affirmation that he wasn't evil.
With his new persona, he did make tentative friends and he learned that everyone at some point is playing a role. Eve these 'bad twins' weren't all bad just as he knew he wasn't all good. There was a balance. Somewhere. As he drew closer to the Sorting, the more anxious about it he got. He wanted out of this place badly. He wanted to stop pretending he was something he wasn't. He wanted to be free, though a part of him was apprehensive that he'd been pretending so long that he didn't know how to stop pretending.
As for the silent rebellion, Kenji learned about it from his parents as they tried to groom him for it to help change the world from inside the camps and then out. As Kenji approaches the Sorting, Kenji finds himself at crossroads about the whole thing. He understands what they are fighting for and what they hope he and the others will eventually accomplish. Their cause is a good one and part of him is all for it. No one should be segregated and thrown into camps and forgotten and then either deemed a failure without the chance to flourish, or forced into cookie cutter jobs. He hates that he was kept away from his family, growing up like a normal child, and not knowing who his twin is. There is a lot wrong with the system. He knows his parents want him to become an example, a leader that people have a duality to them, even the Cursed. He knows he could be what they want but then there is the question of finally just being himself after the sorting. The thought of shedding one role for another one is daunting.
It is a never ending cycle. The inner turmoil increases but in the end, he knows himself. Once given the choice after the sorting, he knows he'll do what he can for the rebellion because it is the right thing to do for those that will come after him.
