D E T A I L E D A P P E A R A N C E: Kwesi is particularly average as far as height is concerned, standing at around 5 ft 7 in, with a sturdy-looking frame to him. He doesn’t have the muscle mass of a football player, but neither can he be considered particularly “skinny”; he’s well filled out with well-defined upper body muscles (though you wouldn’t know it at first glance), for which he has his fondness for practical hands-on hobbies to thank. His complexion can be described as dark, and he keeps his face clean shaven. In stark contrast to this, Kwesi’s hairstyle can be described as rather loose and perhaps even “scruffy” or a “mop top”. You can call it what you like, but he’s happy wearing it this way and that’s all that matters. His brown eyes are often easy to miss, as they don’t particularly stand out from the rest of his features, but if you were to look there you would find they are always curious and attentive, taking note of everything around him and trying to suss it all out. Known to stuff his hands into his pockets by default, Kwesi’s demeanor is often considered “nervous” by strangers, as he can be somewhat jittery and a bit shy when first meeting a new face. Don’t mistake his nerves for unkindness, however, he will always greet his fellows with a smile on his face and a polite dip of his head and/or wave. But it will take some time and interactions before he will feel comfortable enough around anyone to really open up enough to start joking around, or indeed to talk about his past or his family. He doesn’t speak of what happened to his mother, though he misses her dearly every day, Kwesi is determined to move on with his life and make it as good as he possibly can, because he knows it’s what she would want him to do. Kwesi prefers the “simple and comfortable” dress style, often found in jeans or cargo pants and sneakers, with a vibrantly colourful t-shirt, sometimes completely plain and sometimes with a geometric-style print somewhere on it; he shies away from clothing which belongs to a specific “brand” and instead prefers to wear something that is simply enough to be eye-catching. Zip-up hoodies are his jacket of choice, the comfier the better. He is never found without the rose gold coloured seashell locket around his neck, while the pendant is most certainly “girly” in fashion, it belonged to his mother and holds great emotional and sentimental value to Kwesi, so he almost never takes it off. Inside of the locket is a picture of Kwesi and his parents. M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S: I went with a foreign exchange student truthfully because I am extremely British and really have no idea how the schooling system works in the States, so while Kwesi is learning the ropes, I am too! For Kwesi’s story, I would love for him to meet people, create some friendships and connections with other PCs and eventually have him become more comfortable and settled into life in the country and at the school. Ultimately discover the magic thing alongside the rest of the group, perhaps during the course of this he will discover the truth behind his mother’s death (to do with her status as a Magni and her former life essentially catching up to her) and have to deal with the shock/accept it all over again now that he knows the real circumstances (also coming to terms with fact mom essentially “lied” to him by withholding said info. Prolly gonna need friends to help him through it or else he’ll just turn into an emotional powder-keg and bad things will occur.) I want to try and keep him as good-natured/cheerful as possible, with just a little hint of drama and angst later on to add some more layers onto his backstory, but otherwise I’m trying to avoid making the character that always causes conflicts, that’s become my comfort zone a bit and I want to push the boat out a little!

Originally hailing from a small town on the South coast of England, Kwesi has only recently moved to the US with his father after an unfortunate accident a year prior left them grieving the loss of Kwesi’s mother. The loss hit Kwesi hard initially, considering the mysterious circumstances around his mother’s demise; she simply never came home from work one day and was found dead by police approximately 3 days later.

Both Kwesi and his father struggled to come to terms with the missing link of their family, so when his father was presented with an opportunity for a “fresh start” in Crestwood Hollow, he decided to take it. Kwesi was apprehensive, but agreed to that the change may do them good and so they packed up and moved to the small town. His father purchased a fishing boat with the savings he had managed to accrue and now works as a trawler off the local docks.

Though Kwesi is unaware of the existence of magic, he has always felt there was something his mother was hiding from him and his father. Something strange, though the boy had never figured out what it was, he wondered if that “something” had anything to do with her sudden and unexplained death.

> Very unconfrontational, is more likely to apologize and walk away than rise to a fight, but as with any reasonable person he may lash out if he feels trapped or like he has no other choice but to fight back

> Analytical and will do his best to understand things but is still the victim of a very steep learning curve. Struggles academically because of said learning curve; is not “stupid”, but is definitely “slow” because the subject matter is presented in a different way to what he’s used to, and he struggles to comprehend the information in front of him. He will get it eventually, it just may take him a bit longer than usual.

> Good with his hands, enjoys woodworking/whittling and fishing with his father as his main hobbies.

> Kindle: Kwesi’s first pet, given to him for his 12th birthday by his mother shortly before her “accident”. Kwesi has had him ever since and feels a deep connection to Kindle but assumes this is because of two factors: his mom bought the snake for him, and he has had Kindle since the snake was very young and fit in the palm of his hands, rather than any sort of magical connection.

> Kwesi’s father owns a fishing boat, named the “Grace” (after Kwesi’s mother) and when he isn’t busy with school work, his other hobbies, or socializing with classmates, he can often be found at the docks helping his dad maintain the boat, or accompanying his father on a fishing trip.

You never see it coming Part II [RedeemedLight x Elven]

Hey no worries, life happens and it comes first as they say! :P

I shall get to work on something tomorrow, getting late here! haha

The Haunting of Crestwood Hollow - A Supernatural Coming of Age Story

<Snipped quote by The Elvenqueen>

Let's get some cute boys in there please! <3

@Fallenreaper

That's the eventual plan XD

The Haunting of Crestwood Hollow - A Supernatural Coming of Age Story

4 once I get my sheet done, cause balancing

The Haunting of Crestwood Hollow - A Supernatural Coming of Age Story

Going to be dedicating some time tomorrow to give all this info an in-depth read and hopefully work on a character sheet! Love this concept so far :3

You never see it coming Part II [RedeemedLight x Elven]

Oh that's good, not about the flooding obviously Haha but the first interview at least! I totally feel you, the not knowing is the worst part D: fingers crossed you hear back from them soon!

Yes, hahaha, there was method in the madness, it wasn't TOTALLY random ;) XD

All sounds good to me, I look forward to it! Have a good weekend too! :)

You never see it coming Part II [RedeemedLight x Elven]

Ahh yes, how did the interview go by the way? Have you found out yet? :D

It does not, Ari knows this and she does NOT like it one bit, no sir XD I'm looking forward to seeing how they're gonna work through it, it's definitely going to take Ari a while to get used to the lack of the bond that's for sure!

I LOOOOOVEEEE the sound of that spy stuff, oh my goodness it sounds amazing, I can't wait to read it XD
I figured that two of them would be on the same planet yeah, just to save them a little bit of time :P

-I'd agree 2 weeks seems like a reasonable timeframe, maybe 3 tops?
-Ahhh yes frag grenades, my best friends for like the entirety of the first part of KOTOR! haha I actually headcanon Revan probably still carries round a blaster and some grenades as a sort of "last resort" backup too for that very reason (and also hence why they found the blaster parts when they first landed on Odessa and they were all like "HUH?!" because connections woo :'D) so I imagine he'll be able to steer Neta and Yerbol in the right direction rather than leaving them high and dry, yeah
-Whether or not we manage to cram it in before the Final Confrontation (tm), I actually considered Revan chipping in to help Neta teach Yerbol some of the blaster stuff he knows, since I imagine the guy's picked up a fair few nifty tricks over the years, but we'll see whether it works and we've got an appropriate place to shoehorn it in XD
-I like the sound of a classic doomsday lockdown, it's been what...since Act I that we've had a proper one of those? Let's go for it, all the nostalgia! XD
