| Full Name |
Kage Alexander Briarley
| Reason or Meaning of name |
Parents wanted a 'unique' first name, so went with Kage. Alexander is the name of his Grandfather, and his last name comes from the heritage of his family from England, a different spelling of the original, 'Brierly'
| Nickname |
Most have been suited to calling him 'Alex', though some choose to shorten his first name to 'Kai'.
| Reason for Nickname |
He actually hates his own first name, and so has asked people to instead call him by a shortened version of either his middle name, or his original first name. It's become so regular of a nickname that most people don't even know his real name unless they're in his classes or close to him.

| Personality |
Kage is a pretty complex individual, although appears shallow and judgmental most of the timel. He has a constant stream of thoughts going on, and most of the time, they are quite negative or worrying. He's constantly thinking about his future, about how he's acting, what he's going to do, etc. He likes to keep most of his thoughts and emotions bottled up as well, and rather than talking to friends or family like most people would, or even writing them down, he thinks about them constantly. If people try to figure out what he's feeling, even asking a question such as simple as 'Are you alright' when he's looking down, he'll snap and grow cold. Kage doesn't like talking about himself, and to draw the attention away from him, often talks down about other people.
He's defensive and worrisome, and often quite negative. Sarcasm is common for him, and he finds himself picking on other people and mocking them for the smallest of things, just to distract himself from his intrusive thoughts about himself and his fears. Kage appears cold, picky, and snobby to most, only talking to them if they are part of the more popular cliques. The reason for this though is because he feels like none of them would ever judge him or his habits very accordingly, and they would never be able to find out what's going on in his head.The other groups he feels almost intimidated by, and doesn't go near them for fear of being analyzed or judged.
Kage hides a lot of things. From his family life, to his quirks. He tries not too seem to obsessive, but as much as he hates it, some things show. People notice his dry, overwashed hands, his constant use of sanitizer, his crisp and wrinkle-free clothing with never a stain on it. It's odd, because he both hates and loves routine and order at the same time, and he's still trying to figure out how that could be. It comforts him and makes him feel safe, however every once in awhile he'll look at the more carefree students and see how happy they are. He wonders if maybe he left his structure behind, if he would be as happy as they seem to be. However it's not just an obsession. It's an addiction, and he can't let go of it so easily. Because of these constant thoughts, he seems very stressed all the time, and is quite jumpy and tense.

| Quirks |
He absolutely hates his name. With a passion, almost. While pretty neutral about most things, Kage hates his very own first name, and tends to glare whenever someone uses it. In its place, he much prefers a softer name, such as "Kai" or more preferably, his middle name of 'Alex'. Just one letter makes all the difference. He believes that his real name sounds much too harsh, like a title that some pro-wrestler would have.
He is absolutely obsessed with order, and cleanliness. Kage is extremely organized, keeping his homework and papers in check, keeping his calendar up to date, and having his workspace free of anything. His whole life revolves around a schedule and routine, and without this, he would not be able to function. He carries around hand sanitizer, and uses it constantly. This near germophobia has him keeping away from those who look very disheveled. Along with this, the skin of his hands is actually extremely rough, due to over-washing them.
Kage doesn't have many nervous habits, however he will pick at his lips when bored or stressed. He has no idea where he picked up this tendency, and is quite aware he does it, however he can't seem to stop. He does it often enough that his lips will often crack and bleed when doing an act such as simple as smiling.
Goals
His own self-discipline, essentially, and his parents as well. He does things mostly out of the fear of being sub-par to other people, and as well as the fear of not meeting his parents high expectations. This applies to his schoolwork, any side-projects he's working on, and his cello-playing. Occasionally though, some goals he has formed are based around his other interests.
