[hider=Kurt Nichols][u]Name[/u] Kurt Nichols [u]Age[/u] 26 [u]Appearance [/u] [img] https://i.imgur.com/tbgtRQN.jpg [/img] [u]Height[/u] 5’4” (162 cm) [u]Weight[/u] 150 lbs (68 kg) [u]Description[/u] Kurt is a short man, with a stockier build. He keeps his somewhat messy hair in a small ponytail, but over the course of the day some inevitably gets lose and finds ways to fall around (or in front of) his face. Always clean shaven, he can normally be seen wearing a smile. His style can be described as somewhat bland, normally wearing some comfortable slacks and a jacket to combat the chill that always seems to grip the Northwestern areas of North America. [u]Likes[/u] Music: While not the most original interest in the world, Kurt does enjoy a fair bit of music. While he can tolerate almost anything, he has a soft spot for most rock sub-genres. That being said he abhors new-age Rock-a-Billy/Pop County. Reading: Kurt has been reading all of his life, which is what landed him in his current job. Books were his constant companion growing up, and was his first companion when he first moved to Sol City. Cooking & Food: From being the person who took care of his household from a young age Kurt's two options were to either learn how to cook or not eat. From there it evolved into a genuine love of cooking and Kurt became fairly good at that. Stemming from this is a love of good food and the company that it brings. Cool Weather: Kurt doesn't handle heat well at all, which was one of the attractions of Sol City in the first place. Plus jackets and other clothes for cooler weather are simply more stylish than summer-wear. [u]Dislikes[/u] Spiders: Spiders terrify Kurt to know end. He takes this phobia quite seriously, with most spiders being killed on sight regardless if they actually meant him any harm. Overly Boisterous Personalities: Kurt can understand the need to cut loose every once in a while, and he's even known to act out if you get some alcohol in him. However, people are just going all out 100% completely drive him up a wall. Hot Weather: Mortals were not meant to exist in the heat. Kurt doesn't handle heat well and on particularly hot days it takes every ounce of willpower he has to leave his home. Physical Pain: Kurt has an extremely low pain threshold and doesn't handle pain well. This manifests as a general aversion to pain, up to point of abandoning hobbies/interests after they've caused him some sort of harm. [u]Zodiac Sign [/u] Virgo, but he doesn't place much stock in astrology [u]Special Talent[/u] Kurt is very good with people. Whether it was from having to mature faster than most or some natural disposition people seem to trust Kurt more quickly than most. Kurt wants to use this to help others, but right now that seems out of reach. [u]Profession[/u] Works in a small used book store, also takes online classes for a counseling Masters. [u]Bio/Personality[/u] Kurt grew up in a small town in central Illinois. The name isn't important, no one would have heard of it anyway. For years it was only him and his mother. Kurt's father and mother were never together and he left for greener pastures well before he was born. He didn't mind this though, as his mother provided for him as well as she could. This meant working at a dry cleaning shop most days, and working as am overnight custodian most nights. This left Kurt alone to his own devices for most of his young life. When he was really little this meant exploring the woods around his home. However, after a nasty fall from a tree that resulted in a broken arm he most of his time indoors. With his mother out of the house most of the time Kurt had to learn to take care of himself from a young age. This wasn't a bad thing, as it allowed him to be more independent from a young age. Kurt had a largely uneventful young adult life, graduating high school in the middle of his class and attending community college on some income-based scholarships. He managed to get a psych degree in three years and spent some time as a case manager in a center for at-risk adolescents. Kurt spent the half-decade after college like this, working in the center while helping take care of his mother whose smoking habit had gifted her with a nasty case of lung cancer. She fought for longer than the doctors said she could, but Kurt's mother passed shortly after his 26th birthday. With the last thing tethering him to his hometown gone he pulled up stakes and headed to a hopefully brighter future. Kurt has been in Sol City for only a short time, only a few months. He works in a small used book store and is also taking online classes to make progress towards a Masters degree in counseling. When not at work or taking classes Kurt likes to take in the night life that Sol City offers as well as relaxing in his small apartment.
