[color=6677aa]║ Other Labels ║[/color]
[indent]The Music Maniac/Garage Band Kid, The Laziest One, [b]The 19-Year-Old Junior[/b] ("This year will be the year, trust me!")[/indent]

[color=6677aa]║ Occupation ║[/color]
[indent]Guitarist, musical director, leader and founder of local band 3+ (pronounced three-sum/threesome)[/indent]

[color=6677aa]║ Appearance ║[/color]
[indent]Kieran is a tall kid (or man, rather), standing at a respectable 6 inches, with a scrawny build that hides a lot of strength. He has toned olive skin, brown and messy hair, which was once black but now dyed bleached blond and sometimes bright red. The entirety of his...'aesthetic' (God, he hates that word) speaks of a lazy, uncaring, detached man that looks ready to slap you at a moment's notice. He always stands slouched and his default face is a drooped bitch face as if he's either tired or pissed. Usually the former. The only time he ever shows energy is when you put a test in front of him or a guitar in his hands.

Key dresses as much as he needs to and normally buys the cheapest clothes possible. Though he is loath to wear the same thing over and over and over like an anime character, his personal favorites include a secondhand flannel shirt, a black parka and a pair of dark jeans with various logos stitched into them.[/indent]

[indent][color=6677aa]What You See:[/color]
So say you've happened along the 19 year old junior. The dude who got held back not once, not twice, but three times. Three times. It's suffice to say that he's quite pissed about it. Kieran definitely acts pissed; bump into him on the hallwayu and nine times out of ten, he'll give you some colorful words and a shove for the trouble. It's...nothing personal, trust me. Manage to get a conversation going and you'll find he has quite some stories to tell. For a young adult, he seems to act more like an old war veteran; bitter, jaded and always giving you some stories of what it was in his day whether you actually like it or not. Key is notably warmer if you bring up music. That's always been his true passion and one of the few things he genuinely cares about in the world.

One does not simply get held back three times. Kieran is noticeably book-dumb, damn near every class he takes ends up in failure. He personally believes that it's because the system is broken, but it's really because he's lazy and unambitious. He cares very little in things like academics and as such, pours none of his enthusiasm into it. Lack of energy coupled with idiocy does not a star student make. Key isn't always lazy all the time, mind you. Put him on an instrument and he'll get crackalackin' like it's 1999. On the stage is where you get to see a fully passionate Kieran and it is beautiful.[/indent]

[indent][color=6677aa]What I Know:[/color]
Kieran doesn't exactly hide much. What you see is what you get, basically. To hide any part of himself from the world is a grave sin in his eyes. That said, there are some things that don't immediately stand out until you talk to him, and I mean [i]really[/i] talk to him. For one, he despises romance, for his father's life was ruined by the ill hope brought upon by love. He also thinks very, very lowly of himself, perhaps stemming from three consecutive years of failure. Unintentional humility is what the guidance counselor calls it.[/indent]

[color=6677aa]║ My Dreams ║[/color]
[indent]Graduate and prove his teachers that they ain't shit.

And also to elevate his band to the level of greatness it surely deserves. He would not enjoy the fame and glory, but his bandmates would. Key owed them that much.[/indent]

[color=6677aa]║ Brief History ║[/color]
[indent]Most people in Westworth know of Kieran's father, Ethan, before they know Kieran himself. Ethan was, back in the day, the resident bad boy. He never failed to get himself into trouble and yet never failed to give back to the community in return. Everyone knew him and either thought fondly or ill of him. Quite a polarising figure for such a small town. One day, he made the decision to haul it to Los Angeles, to meet up with the 'love of his life', whoever that was. It was strangely easy for Ethan to leave it all; home, family, friends, enemies. He just hopped on a motorcycle and never looked back. For some, that was the last they saw of Ethan Hamasaki.

Twelve years later, however, he returned, but not alone. He was accompanied by a lovely baby boy and...depression. Ethan's time in LA came to a horrible end. The woman who had so lovingly corresponded with him and welcomed him into her abode with smiles had turned out to be his worst nightmare. She took from him everything and gave back a tremendous burden he was reluctant to bear, a child. Not knowing what else to do, but intent on giving his son Kieran a good life, Ethan did it all to make a journey back home to Westworth, where he settled in his parents' old home. They had, of course, passed away just two weeks prior to his arrival. Poor guy.

Kieran's childhood was...pretty run-of-the-mill, considering the circumstances that brought him here in the first place. He and his father didn't have much to go by, only inheritance money and what little his father's job at the gas station paid him. As such, he rarely had the opportunity to get the finer things in life. His only luxury for a good portion of his childhood was a guitar, bought from his neighbor for a small sum of $3. The boy's life changed the moment he got his hands on a guitar. Kieran turned out to be hella talented at music. When Dad came home, tired and suicidal, he'd play a song for him and seeing his boy so happily and skillfully making the musical magic happen, he knew that for this moment, life was alright. So began his love affair with the temptress known as music.

By the time Kieran got into middle school, enough people from his class noticed his aptitude for music. Turns out enough people was just two. Bryn Martin, the resident edgy punk tomboy, and Adrian Lewis, egghead extraordinaire. The two had little in common aside from a shared love of music and the desire to start their own band. Kieran, the (at the time) embodiment of energetic youth, was their missing link. They had a talk after school over popsicles and it was there that 3+ was born. Or rather, its prototype. With limited resources, they were stuck as just a normal garage band. Not that they complained. Betty took up the drums, Adrian vocals and Kieran obviously on the guitar. They had the vision for greatness and lacked the means for it, but were satisfied with the music made nonetheless.

High school was where another development in his life rose. For some reason, Kieran just could not grasp the lessons of the year and would regularly fail tests that should be easy for the normal student. Indeed, he found that he would be held back a year and at first thought nothing of it. He'd just try again harder. But his mind could not cooperate and he was held back another year. And then another until his bandmates graduated. Normally, kids fresh out of high school would head on to the big cities for college, but such was the loyalty of his bandmates. Bryn and Adrian chose to remain in Westworth, to accompany Kieran and help him graduate however possible. At this time, 3+ had grown enough that they now had the means to create more advanced types of music and branched out to different genres, from synth-pop to ragga metal. They regularly performed in small gigs around town and there Kieran poured in his true energy. School was a lost cause in his eyes, almost completely were it not for the determination to graduate.

And show the whole school who was boss.[/indent]

[color=6677aa]║ Extra Curricular Activities & Sports ║[/color]
[indent]On the suggestion from his father, Kieran does Theatre and Improv. Not particularly fond of it, but he does it for him because he's a good son. <3[/indent]

[color=6677aa]║ Reputation ║[/color]
[indent]Widely known as the oldest junior and the dude that got held back for a long-ass three years. Take pity on him.Also comes late every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for unknown reasons. Kieran is also known for being in 3+, a fraction of the students's favorite local multi-genre band and for being an absolute animal on stage. There's a reason why 3+ isn't allowed to perform on school grounds and it's only because of him.[/indent]

[color=6677aa]║ Best subjects, Worst subjects ║[/color]
[indent]Good at Music and English, Shit at literally everything else.[/indent]

[color=6677aa]║ Extra information ║[/color]
[indent]I think I forgot to mention that he was lazy.[/indent][/hider]
