"INTELLIGENCE WITHOUT AMBITION IS LIKE A BIRD WITHOUT WINGS." »THE PUPPET &&the world's creation»LOOK IN THE MIRROR Your everyday tall, dark, and hansom of course. Well... the dark bit maybe a little bit more then literal. But aren't they all? Kale stands at the height of 6'1" with a thin, lean body figure. While he isn't the biggest, strongest, or swiftest male in the world he is definitely the most flexible and agile, not to mention the best spy among the group (and most of his kind). He is found to greatly rely on his quick reflexes and smooth style within a fight. He is most likely to outsmart you then win you in a battle of strength or speed.
He has short tan hair that he keeps cut to length and dark forest green eyes that do a really brilliant job of hiding his thoughts and emotions. Often intense black holes themselves, he can win any staring contest started, you know except for an unmoving picture or a statue (though I wouldn't put it past him to try winning a battle like that).
His wings may be a bit smaller then normal at a height of 7'3" but better to sneak around with. They've been plenty helpful in hiding situations where he doesn't want to get caught, by being able to place them around him while hiding within the dark shadows. The ash black, dark grey flecked, feathers have saved him from plenty a dead situations. One even being the president himself.
With his agility and graceful movement Kale can easily move through the shadows, and even through daylight, without being seen. He has trained himself well throughout the years, even before the "Confinement." He knows how to move with the wind and shadows and all the spying and hiding secrets. Even without his new abilities he'd be difficult to see and catch up with.
»ME, MYSELF, AND I Wisdom and knowledge is power to Kale. He is a brilliant young man with an intelligent and calculating mind. He sometimes seems to be bored of simple things very easily, or bore of abilities and skills that he believes he wouldn't need, but he is always on the look out. If he bores of something it is because he has already looked at it and calculated it's worth in his head. This goes very much the same for people and situations. He can be found to drop a conversation and walk away when he no longer feels the need to be speaking to the particular person or group. However, its not because he thinks they aren't good people or important people. They just currently aren't worth his time and he has plenty of better things to do. However, anything that can give him the upperhand on any person he will keep hidden and locked into a box to reveal at a later date when he does need them.
He also has quite an eye for detail and is able to look at a big picture while still seeing every little important piece of information. He can keep his eye on multiple people and situations at the same time and has trained himself to trust his senses and instincts. He basically lives for information. Especially when it comes to the human government and the president. Kale can see a person's strengths and weaknesses pretty well before entering a fight, mainly because he can view a person's physical and emotion behavior. He's not perfect at this skill and is still working on it, but he always does, what he calls, a "scan check" on a person before he engages them at all.
Kale is a little on the low side with emotions. He can sometimes seem to replicate an emotion perfectly well, which is where his sarcasm comes in a lot, but he doesn't actually feel many of the emotions he can replicate. He likes to use this to his advantage. It is a face and illusion to the people around him. This is his way of keeping people at a safe distance from his inner self and secrets. The fake emotions (which he is pretty good at playing out) are like his security blanket. The only person he has only every had any care for is his younger brother Neil.
Where his lack of emotions is concerned, there is an upside/downside to them. Kale is a snake tongue and straight talker at times. He often has a smooth cool voice that can be very cold and diplomatic or seem gentle and caring. He'll often use this technique to manipulate people into giving him what he wants. And if he has something to say to you that he thinks is important to be said, he'll tell it to you straight rather then dancing around the bush.
Or right, just a hint of warning, this could also mean that he is willing to sacrifice. Maybe even a little bit too much. And also he is able to keep secrets very well and he guards them jealously.
»HIS-STORY Living as a winged human was never easy. In fact Kale always had it in his mind that he was part of the main reason why they put them in the confinement area in the first place. He was always causing trouble as a child. Causing trouble at school and at home. He and his brother got into plenty of situations that he had to get them both out of. And they usually ended up in some kind of epic fight with bloody noses and broken arms. As a young child his mother and father died through persecution from some of the towns people, the human police investigated the scene, but had abandoned it soon afterward when they found out who the victims were and the fact that they couldn't find the culprit that evening. Kale and his younger brother Neil never forgave the humans for that.
Kale, being the oldest, took to taking care of Neil, even bringing him back to school after their parents died. They were taken in by their mother's closet friend. But that relationship was soon over. There had been something strange about the birth of these two brothers, as they never seemed to have any emotion, even pain wasn't as effective as was natural in behavior. So when their parents died, it seemed that neither of them felt anything. This also, however, attracted attention to them. A winged man soon took notice of the two boys, slipping them away from their caretaker in the middle of the night. Once again the police wouldn't search for them because of their kind. And they were soon presumed missing and possibly dead by the other winged beings within their area. They were taken far from their original home.
This winged man was not one to be reckoned with. His hate for the human race was deep and being a former military officer, but thrown from his position when the persecution got really bad, the hatred became that of war. He was a wanted criminal around the land, but had yet to be found. He beat his hatred into the boys and taught them to use their intelligence and superior strength/form in a fight. It was a fight the two boys lost despite their strength. Both began to react in different ways. Kale, being the strongest of the two, took to the training with acceptance, grateful for the ability to learn something new every day. Neil however changed differently, he took to the training too, but was less willing to do as his "master" told him to do, or didn't have the ability to do what he was told. There was emotion there. There was fear and sadness and wonder.
The man noticed this several times within young 8 year old Neil. So Neil would often end the day with more bruises. But it was as the time came for the flyers to be moved to the confinement when it happened. Its was a bloody fight, and I won't explain what happened, but the man ended up dead. They both ran from the scene and somehow ended up within the confinement. They lived more or less a more peaceful life then they had, until the president came into town of course. Kale began getting into more and more trouble once again. Sneaking around the walls, getting any information he could from any of the guards. He even came face to face with the President once, but used his fake emotions, smooth tongue, and hiding ability to get away from him. He tried to keep Neil from as much pain and suffering as possible by having him just stay at the fields and at home.
It was around the time of his seventeenth birthday when Kale started to realize that when he hid, he wasn't just sitting in the dark shadows, he could actually bend the shadows around him. Ever since then he had been practicing his shadows and darkness ability. Small Illusions have become his favorite diversion, and shadow transfers have helped him in more than one occasion. He has found a way to do these little things without spending too much energy when he is in the field. But when he isn't in the field, he is constantly and continuously training his mind and his abilities, growing stronger and stronger in this skill.
NOTE FROM SPADE;; I'm finished with Kale. I'll work on Neil tomorrow evening (hopefully) if thats alright. Neil will be the one who can control the element of Sound. Also, I don't really see Kale falling into a romantic relationship. If someone can break the thick stone walls around his heart, then perhaps he would be willing to open up. But you'll have more luck with his younger brother Neil then you will with Kale.

CARMICHEAL, NEIL RUSSEL

"INTELLIGENCE WITHOUT AMBITION IS LIKE A BIRD WITHOUT WINGS." »THE PUPPET &&the world's creation»LOOK IN THE MIRROR Very simular to his tall, dark, and handsome older brother with an air of mystery, Neil Carmicheal stands at the height of 5'8". However, there is something very different that people probably notice from first impression, and that is the blank stare that Neil has within his eyes. Its as if all emotion has been ripped from his body and he has the incapability to express anything other then this blank stare. But his shocking blue eyes are normally gazing at the ground or at his feet. It is a very rare phenomenon for someone to be directly acknowledged by his eyes. Unlike his brother, his skin can seem very pale at times, as if he's very sick or doesn't get out in the sun very often.
Neil has very long fingers, fit to play the piano, which he probably would if he could be allowed to have a piano. Which he couldn't of course. He also has a body that seems to be thin and fragile, unlike his older brother, but don't get fooled by his appearance at all. Neil is a very fierce fighter, one that should not be reckoned with. Despite what others would think, even Kale does not know the full extent of which Neil could go. Much like Kale, Neil works with a more intelligent and agile form of fighting. But wit is not his only tactic. Emotions. Emotions are his secret weapon. But I'll tell you more about that when you read about his personality.
Despite his much shorter size, Neil's wings are much longer then his brother's. They raise above him at the height of 8'3", ten inches taller then Kale's wings and they hail an dusty off-white color rather than the ash black of Kale's. They do, however, have ash flecks being darker and closer together at the arm of the wing and fading as the color gets closer to lower feathers.
»ME, MYSELF, AND I If you hadn't noticed him standing in the room already then its shocking that you have done so now. Neil is not only a very quiet person, he never speaks. Never speaks, or gestures. Not much anyway. He has a completely different way of communication. Although you wouldn't figure this out just by looking at him, as he doesn't communicate very often. Have you ever heard of the idea that the eyes are the window to the soul? Well, this is the same general idea. Neil communicates using his eyes. But the strange thing about it is he will use YOUR emotion within his eyes rather then his own. It is very rare to see the real emotions of Neil Carmichael. Not because he doesn't have emotions, but more because he has lost the ability to express his own. So he chooses to express those of others if he needs to communicate.
He may also communicate with his sound ability. In emergencies or to warn someone off. His ability works in many different ways. He can create a sound barrier, or strengthen the sound and frequency of a simple snap of the fingers. These are his ways of communicating through sound, for he won't use his mouth.
Alright, away from his communication issue and onto his emotion issue. Like his brother was Neil born virtually without emotions. He appeared to be, but that was merely because he couldn't show his emotions. Or if he was able to show his emotions they were ripped away from his by The Bloody Man, or his brother. He was caught between himself and the one person that he loved so dearly. The one who protected him and took care of him. But it was an unconscious thing that happened. It was just that he never grew up knowing HOW to show emotions. He does feel sadness, and happiness, and fear, and the need to protect. He does feel pain, though he has a very high pain tolerance. He just doesn't know how to express them, and will instead act on the emotions he feels.
Even though Neil is the holder and manipulator of sound, he can be a very good listener. In fact, you could tell him just about anything and although you probably won't get any sympathy from him, you will certainly have found someone who could not only keep what you said confidential, but also find a person who will not judge, no matter what you've been through or done in your life.
He is also very overprotective of those he loves and cares for. Kale is the biggest person for him to protect, but if you gain his loyalty and friendship then you certainly will have gained a deep deep friend.
Hmmmrrr... I haven't yet decided on how he would take a romantic relationship. I'm pretty sure that having one with him wouldn't be the same as having one with any normal person, but I am also sure, that it would be an interesting plot idea for someone to bond themselves to him in that way. Don't know how it would turn out. Your welcome to try if you like.
Despite some... set backs in Neil's thinking process, he is a very quick thinker. He didn't go through all that training and stand by everything Kale went through just to come out not knowing anything at all. He knows just as much as Kale and possibly even more. His sound ability has given him the opportunities to spy just as much, or even more, as Kale. Sometimes even being able to eliminate the sounds of his own movement and the movement of the world around him, though that takes much energy from him.
Neil hates to be touched by people he doesn't know and doesn't trust. He hates to be touched in general and even though Kale came up with a way for him to communicate that way, Neil always touches Kale rather than the other way around and its always through the arm, hand or back.
There is one more very important thing you need to know about Neil Carmichael. His thought process is a little bit messed up. He can seem very simple minded, and doesn't really think in terms of words and language. He uses a more image based thought process. Sure, he can understand the english language, and possibly even other languages, unbeknownst to kale, but he has never needed to use this process while he's thought. This is both a very simple way of thinking, and a complicated way of thinking, as he is able to see much more detail. (In my writings however, I'll try to give you a more easier sense of understanding for the lack of words that he uses.)
»HIS-STORY He would always follow the older brother around. He was the shadow, though it may make more sense for the sound to be out in the open rather then the shadow. But that was how it had to be. Never had he been able to talk, so Kale came up with a way for the two to communicate. Through a sense of touch. He would use Kale's hand, arm, or back as a drawing board and would use this to communicate through simple symbols. As a young child his mother and father died through persecution from some of the towns people, the human police investigated the scene, but had abandoned it soon afterward when they found out who the victims were and the fact that they couldn't find the culprit that evening. Kale and Neil never forgave the humans for that. Though, Neil began to sympathize with them soon after that.
Kale, being the oldest, took to taking care of Neil, even bringing him back to school after their parents died. They were taken in by their mother's closet friend. But that relationship was soon over. There had been something strange about the birth of these two brothers, as they never seemed to have any emotion, even pain wasn't as effective as was natural in behavior.

Kale began getting into more and more trouble once again. Sneaking around the walls, getting any information he could from any of the guards. But even as he tried to keep his younger brother safe from harm, Neil was attempting somewhat the same thing. Watching over Kale when he went on his random treasure hunts and even doing a little bit of spying himself. Kale never suspected a thing.
He came to know his ability the night on the attack of The Bloody Man. He had controlled a strange frequency that night that when he had been afraid, breaking all the windows in the process. Though Kale had never figured out what it was, Neil had begun to practice with it. I'm sure Kale would have been jealous by the fact that Neil had been practicing his power long before Kale even realized he'd gained one too.
