Basics:Face Claim: Joseph Gordon Levitt
Name: Kale Roemer
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Species: Werewolf
Height: 5’9
Fashion: Charmingly Practical. Kale likes to look fresh when he can. He’s not vain by any means, but he does like to look somewhat put together. He can be found in almost any type of button up paired with a well worn pair of jeans that hug all the right places and a pair of combat boots. He likes his blazers and graphic-t’s as well. He also likes the occasional t-shirt or shorts to go running in.
Physical Description:
A little below average height, Kale has more of a wiry runner's body. He likes to work out and keeps himself in tip top shape with the amount of running around he does it’s no surprise. He has short cropped dark brown hair he usually keeps in a buzz cut that’s a little longer on top. He’s average in the look department but doesn’t care. He tends to keep a bit of stubble on him at all cost and has perfected the bad boy grin. He has dark brown eyes and tan skin. The thing that draws people’s attention to him is the five inch scar going across the bridge of his nose that suggests a more violent lifestyle, as well as what looks like claw marks going across his chest. Those are his most notable markings.
-Personality-Description: Kale is your everyday conman. He’s greedy, and is looking to get his next step up in the world, no matter how that might be and who he has to step on to get there. He’s a charmer at first until you prove unuseful to him, in which case he’ll drop you like a hot potato and not lose any sleep over it. He's got a temper on him and honestly will start fights just because he can, and then proceed to take his anger management out on you. With his fist.
As far as Kale is concerned it’s him versus the world, and just wants the life he thinks he deserves, even if he has to take it. He’s merciless, and at times can be quite terrifying. His moral draw the lines at kids and that’s only if your sixteen and younger. If you dumb enough to fuck with him, then you can pay the inevitable consequences. He’s put the definition in “Take no shit” and will do whatever he damn well pleases. Quite honestly, Kale is a asshole to just about everyone. He thinks he’s tough shit, and isn’t far from the truth. The man can take beating and come back up still swinging. He’s been at rock bottom and yet hasn’t let it change who he is. He refuses to be at the mercy of anyone’s pity.
Despite his rather...blunt and dickish surface, underneath it all is a man who would literally stop at nothing to ensure those he cares about are taken care of and are safe. Fiercely loyal to those he can come to trust, in fight or anything for that matter, Kale is the one to have your back. He won’t judge and will be straight with you if you’re straight with him. Underneath it all is an actual good man who is constantly in a state of grey, writing his own moral code for his values.
Habits/Hobbies: Drinking, He's a closet singer, working out, starting the occasional bar fight, gambling, smoking, likes playing cards, running and working out.
History: Kale was actually born to a witch mother and a human father. He was the middle child, his twin brother Kaiden having been born a whole two minutes before him, and then four years later his sister Kiara being born. He was a sickly child frowning up, having been the smaller twin, he never developed completely unlike Kaid, and was at the mercy of multiple bullies. Growing up, Kaiden acted as his protector and Kiara was his best friend.
His mothers genes never showed themselves in him and Kaiden, the two of them having taken after their dad and were plain Humans. Kiara on the other hand was an exceptionally talented witch, and had become a sort of herbalist. She’d showed him some tricks as they grew up for natural remedies and how to just be more spiritual in general. He was fourteen when his dad died of a heart attack, and it forced the Roemer’s to grow up quickly to help their mom who had to work full time as a nurse.
It was his senior year of Highschool when the bullies went too far. Growing up in Northern California there was multiple small forests and as part of a hazing ritual for the football team, as Kale had desperately wanted to join, he found himself hogtied and abandoned out in the woods for nearly two weeks. The prank had backfired on the boys, not realizing that they’d left Kale in the woods with a literal mad man. Or should we say….the big bad wolf?
Hershal Briggs was a man wanted in several states for a number of crimes, the biggest being murder. He suffered from several mental illnesses, one being extreme paranoia and schizophrenia. To top it off, he was also a werewolf. Hershal happened to be laying low in the same woods Kale had been left in. Having spent a number of days already in his werewolf form, he took what little humanity he had left and lost it when he found Kale wandering the woods. The teenger was lost, scared and not knowing what to do. Something had come over Herschal, that need and desire for his own pack...a need to no longer be alone...he attacked Kale, biting him on his shoulder and thus infecting him with Lycanthropy. He had shifted back, taking Kale to where his camp was and had kept him with him until he knew for certain he’d changed him.
Needless to say, Kale was terrified. He knew of other species thanks to his mother, but never did he think he’d actually become one against his will. The process nearly killed him, but when it was finally all over? Let’s just say Kale would never be bullied again.
He had his awakening so to speak. His senses were better, he was stronger now, he could practically feel the power going to his head...And it did. Kale rescued himself, finally emerging two weeks later after entering the woods. He never reported Herschall Briggs. And to this day, no one will find Herschal Briggs, as Kale proved to himself just how different he had become. He’d come out of those woods a completely different person. The rest of his school year was very different thanks the gift that the mad man had given him. He’d had to tell his mother and the rest of the family what had happened fo course. He didn’t feel like he had to hide his new self from them, but they all noticed the change in Kale, and it wasn’t for the better. That physical power had gone to his head, and the bullied, became the bully.
His brother tried to help him however, Kaiden wanted Kale to see the good in the world and not this...beast, his brother had become. It was in vain, as Kale wasn’t going to see reason. Ultimately, Kale left home as soon as he graduated and hasn’t been back since. He still sends postcards home to his mom and sister. He still calls them on their birthdays, but he’s determined to live the life he wants to live. Which is apparently in the danger zone…
On a trip backpacking through Europe, Kale fell in with the bad people. Or Good people if you ask him. He found himself brought into the fold of the Russian mob, and was taught how to be his best self. To fight, to kill, and he worked his way up in the ranks to become the family’s own personal attack dog so to speak. Dmitri Kromanov had become his best friend. When the italians decided to disrupt the fragile balance of power however...That’s when it got ugly, and Kale lost those he had come to consider family. He managed to get a few to safety, like Dmirti and his family, and did what he’d sworn to do. He protected them by putting the heat on him. To do so? He stole from the Italian mob, enough money he could sit in Cabo until he was a shriveled old man. The mob is after him and their money, but Kale’s got friends in high places and is smarter then he looks. He’s essentially disappeared off their radar for now, while the money is sitting pretty in an offshore bank account. Once he receives word that Dmitri and his family are safe, and have recovered, then Kale will go to the Italian mob to enact his revenge for the Kromanov family. Didn’t anyone ever tell you, you didn’t fuck with the russians?
Kale is quietly biding his time now, settling in the small town of Xander’s Cross. He’s only been there for about two months, and has found work as a construction worker for the new estates they’re building. He’s constantly looking over his shoulder, and is just waiting until the italians find him, or the Russians tell him he can finally leave.
