Wanted...just Wanted.

[Darryl Bond]

OK, so pretty much I love making characters. That's the best part, is really creating them. Playing them..is the harder part. I'm so stretched out that I really can't get another character, but this guy, as of earlier today...is just...trying to get out.

So I'm making this add for him! So someone can take him, and I get to make his app. The things that I put in ( ) or in italics can be changed, but I think he will know if he gets cheated out of my head...

The Basics

[/size][/right]

Name: Kyle Dakota Long
Nicknames: Kyle, Mr. L
Age: 64, but still young
Orientation: up to you
Desired Rank/Job: Trainer
Powers: This guy, you see, he is like an anomally man. Things just don't work right around him. Well just a thing, and a pretty big thing at that; gravity. That's right, this man, for whatever reason, is not tied to Earth by the laws of physics. All the time. Well not anymore anyway, before, he couldn't control it at all and he was just floating around the ceiling like an astronaut. He can turn it off an on, now. Side effects are, but not limited to loss of appetite, loss of weight and body mass, the bends (seizures from quick changes in pressure), and just general sickness and lack of energy.
Play By:The one and only Steve Martin

The Details

Hair Color: It's a sophisticated white
Eye Color: Blue green
Any Piercings? nothing crazy
Any Tattoos?nothing crazy
Any Scars? He's lived a long life, surely there are some.
General Appearance: Once a man of vibrant vitality, he's obviously on his down hill slant. His skin is softening to onion skin, he can't stay out in the sun any longer--for long periods of time-- and his knees are really starting to give him problems. On the upside, though, his eyes are still %100 percent, his hair is still full (though it's been white since his twenties) and not that lifeless wist senior citizens seemed to live with.

He stands proudly, like a man that lived as long as he did, and did as much as he did in that life time. He certainly doesn't walk around in an amble, even if his knees do give him problems when he sits down. He's not the fanciest man out there, but he still dresses in a button up shirt, though he has long since 'forgotten how to tie a tie.
Personality: He's just a wild and crazy guy! But let's not forget, wise, educated, and well just pretty clever. He lived through Vietnam, man. It really changed his perspective of the world and yes, he was more or less a peace loving hippy. Though that calmed down drastically when he stopped doing the drugs, man. Now he is a very focused individual, who doesn't take no for an answer. He really, really drives it into his students brain, that what they do in Highschool DOES follow them around. Forever.

He's very sociable and treats everyone, even acquaintances like old friends because the way he sees it, is that he has about twenty years left--if that--on the planet and he sure was going to get the most of out it. And spread his teachings and knowledge out to those who haven't yet heard his wisdom before.

History

He grew up int the 40-50s of the farm hills of Tenessee. Way back from society and all that. He grew up with responsibility as being the second older with two younger siblings and he enjoyed taking care of them. He went to school in a tiny school house, grew up with the same twenty-thirty people. It was however, in that time that the Vietnam War was going on. His podunk town managed to not have any riots or 'peace rallies', but their message rubbed off on Kyle. He didn't like the idea of fighting, nor did he understand the reason for it. But he was young, and his world consisted of four dairy cows, thirty chickens, five roosters, many many goats, and about three hundred acres of corn.

However, farm boy started to exhibit some...unnatural experiences about the time he stopped sounding like his sister and more like his brother. If he jumped, he'd...just keep going, and he'd always come down real slow like. It was something his family or anyone didn't notice at first. But it was a fall from the loft of their barn that got everyone's attention. Even the local newspaper took interest. Kyle would just never have survived that fall. But Kirk saw the boy fall 'in slow motion, like' and landed without a scratch or sore muscle on him. He was a legend. And a legend in a small town meant outcast.

His family didn't really know what to do with him, because he wasn't normal. School was over with, and the crazy alien kid was still floating like some damn..alien. When the draft came around to Nowheresville Tennessee. His younger brother by three years was drafted, but Kyle's legend proceeded him, and he wad not wanted by the recruiter.

But he signed himself up that day anyway. Even his brother thought he had gotten drafted, and Kyle went with the ruse.
