Hera Ólafsdóttir and Guðmundur Svensson had a very long history together. They had been childhood friends, although growing apart in secondary school, and then met again while studying abroad in Helsinki and bumping into each other at a grocery shop once more years later after Hera had been sadly widowed at 23 years old, leaving her with a single daughter. It seemed like fate for the pair to reunite. Some years after that spontaneous meeting, Hera and Guðmundur were married. An eventful family life awaited them indeed.
Kristofer was born in Reykjavik, Iceland. He was born with haemophilia, a rare disease in which a body's blood clotting function is impaired. He came into the world with severe head bruises, although other than that he had a healthy delivery. His parents had always been delicate with handling him, for fear he was injured. His half-sister, Svana, was the only one who treated him like a normal person, playing games with him and calling him names. In Kristof's first few years of life, he'd been admitted to the hospital multiple times for internal bleeding, external bleeding, etc. This led to his activities being extremely limited -- climbing trees, playing football and playing in the dirt like other children his age was not an option. The smallest scrape could bleed for hours upon hours, so Kristofer mainly just played Wii sports and went running in safe areas. Of course, due to this he ended up being very lanky and feeble. But he was a total adrenaline junkie -- he dreamed of going skydiving and bungie jumping, but stuck to horror games and movies for the meantime.
Kristof's teenage years were the times of his greatest insecurities. Never participating in P.E, he was the least muscular boy in his year as well as the slimmest. He was frequently out of school for check-ups among other things, but he managed to make a humongous social circle in a few weeks. Despite being the awkwardly skinny one, he had a boyish charm that drove many of the girls crazy. He was famous as the 'cute' one among the popular boys, the flirtatious yet caring counterpart to the jocks with 3 girlfriends at a time. However, he was very insecure -- the other young men in his year had gigantic biceps and six-packs, leaving Kristofer feeling like he had something to compensate for. So he flirted. He charmed as many girls as possible to prove to himself that he was just as good as the others. Kristof didn't necessarily date these girls -- he was nice enough to them that they would have a crush on him, yet distant enough that he was considered 'out of their league'. Since he wasn't spending all his time dating girls, Kristofer got very good results in his final years. Good enough to send him to university abroad.
When Kristofer arrived at Fulton, everything was a bit of a blur. Somehow he ended up in something called a fraternity, in Beta Gamma Omega to be exact. His English was not exactly supreme -- he had a slight accent, like many did, with rolled r's and flat tongued l's. When he spoke he sounded much breathier than most, making him somewhat insecure about his accent for a while until he found out that girls were actually attracted to his accent. Somehow, it made him sound 'sultry' or whatever, so he just decided to embrace it. He eventually grew used to frat life, attending parties and charming girls and the like. It seemed like a new era of his life was beginning.

Personality
Kristofer is, at least outwardly, a great example of the Beta standards -- rich, good looking, smart and ever so mysterious. He gives off a 'holier than thou' aura, saying "I'm better than you" in a glance. The perfect posture, strut and stance all boiled down into one person. This act of confidence is perfectly calculated to appeal to possible friends and to allure possible romantic relationships. He'll go for boys or girls, either will do, but usually he keeps it under wraps with the men for fear of it bringing down his popularity. In any case, if one wanted a formula for a Beta they would just have to look at Kris.
Of course, there is much more to Kristofer than the mask he puts on. He understands people very well-- he knows there are things they don't want to share, things they don't want to do, people they don't want to talk to. He won't always honour that, but he can see when someone is uncomfortable and will (sometimes) rescue them. In return, he wants people to be understanding of his decisions and to know not to push his limits. He's very generous and will usually let people borrow his stuff and will pay for things, unless he knows that they won't return the favour. Kris is kind, and will help people out if they're in a pinch. He's especially nice to the disabled or ill, because he knows that he could have had it so much worse. Sure, he has a condition, but he was lucky enough to not be paraplegic, blind, have cancer or anything else. Kristofer is just glad for what he has.
Despite Kristofer's good points, he has bad traits too. He is extremely insecure and will do almost anything to reassure his self image. He hates being seen bare-chested, because he doesn't have the six packs and triceps the other Betas have. He's manipulative, pulling people's strings just right so that he can get the reaction he wants from them. He doesn't like when he can't control people, and tends to avoid them. Predictable people are his favourite, because Kris can always tell what they're going to do next. Kristof can also be very sarcastic and teasing with closer friends. Most take it well, but others can get very offended by his attitude. He's also rather impulsive and a daredevil. He'll do practically anything for an adrenaline rush, and he enjoys high-risk activities such as skydiving and bungee jumping. He can also take to horror movies or games to get a hit. Kristofer will also occasionally purposely trigger a fight between two other people, just so that he can derive excitement from watching it. Although, he will also do the opposite, and pairs up people he thinks will be cute together because it's so satisfying when he sees them as a couple.

"Hmm, well being a Beta is probably your best bet! They're kind of uptight, but the Kappas are nerds and the Sigmas are nerds. Plus, the Alphas are where the hot girls are at -- the cute ones are Theta -- and we have smashing pool parties. It was really confusing near the beginning, but you get the hang of being a frat boy. Unless you're not a Beta, we're definitely the best. Like, ever.
Plans for after college
"Well, the fact that I'm studying criminology makes it pretty self explanatory doesn't it? I want to know why criminals commit crimes, the reasoning behind it, and I'll probably work in some area like that. Maybe do a PHD before I go into work. Who knows, maybe you'll see me as an advisor in a court or something in the future!"
