[center][b][color=#5b6592]Personality:[/color][/b]
[color=#a799b4] Kurt is more or less a social outcast. Aside from a few friends, he doesn't have much going for him. Kurt isn't very outgoing or friendly. He tends to stick with the people he knows and won't venture out of his friend group unless pushed to. He's pretty secretive, never talking about himself or his family. His quiet nature, mixed with his grim attire and tall stature, tends to make people nervous. 

Kurt most likely suffers from undiagnosed depression. He shows up to school when it's convenient for him, because some days he just doesn't want to see other people. As of right now, he's just going through the motions of a teenager's life, not really seeming to enjoy the ride. 

He was assigned room 405 based on one teacher's not inaccurate suspicion that he was being neglected by his parents. [/color][/center]

[center][b][color=#5b6592]Appearance:[/color][/b]
[color=#a799b4] Most of Kurt's clothes were hand-me-downs from his dad.
 He wears a lot of dark colors, red, bright purple, and skeleton themed clothes, most of which are too big for him. His dad has a lot of money, so most of the clothes Kurt wears are name brand and very expensive. This leads people to believe that [i]Kurt[/i] has money, which is false.

Body-wise, Kurt is very tall and skinny. He stands at 6'2", and still waiting on one last growth spurt. He is very lanky, and could probably use a little more protein in his diet. His knobby joints tend to stick out, and his face is sort of gaunt. He is very pale skinned, giving him an overall half-dead appearance. His hair is messy, dark curls. His eyes are dark blue, almost purple looking. Kurt has a faded scar on his either side of his throat, almost as if it was skewered with something. He has a few noticeable track marks on his arms from a few years ago, but he's mostly clean now. [/color][/center]

[color=#a799b4] Kurt is a functional mute. While he [i]can[/i] talk, scarring in his throat and vocal cords make it uncomfortable and very rough sounding. This probably has something to due with the scars on his neck, which he never really cares to explain. He's had them for a very long time. He mostly communicates via sign language, and really only talks out loud when he[i] has[/i] to. His voice usually frightens people when they first hear it.

The internal scarring on his throat also makes it difficult for him to swallow solid food. For the most part, Kurt lives on a diet of smoothies, soups, protein shakes, pudding, and custard-like textures. His poor nutritional intake probably attribute to his thin build.[/color][/center]

[center][b][color=#5b6592]History:[/color][/b]
[color=#a799b4] Most of his friends enjoy rebelling against their parents,
 meanwhile, Kurt just wishes he [i]had[/i] parents. His dad was a popular punk singer from the eighties. His mother was a groupie. His mother was unfit to raise children, so Kurt's father was saddled with taking care of him. This usually consisted of him being dumped off on stage managers and other groupies. Kurt actually saw very little of his father. He was, instead, raised by punkrockers who really had no business being anywhere near a child, and most of whom were hardcore drug abusers. It's a miracle Kurt survived his childhood mostly unscathed.

Kurt's father finally began to lose popularity and began to fade into the background of the music world. He bought a large house and settled down for a while, actually hanging around Kurt for a few years. This didn't last long. He decided to go and re-kindle his career and took off again, leaving Kurt alone at the house. Occasionally, money will appear in an envelope with no return address, but for the most part, Kurt is on his own. He avoids disclosing his family background or home situation to anyone but his closest friends, because he doesn't want to be taken away and put into foster care.[/color][/center]
