Kurt

In order to understand, I destroyed myself. –Fernando Pessoa It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything. – Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club  xxxxxDescription xxxxxAt just over six feet tall, Kurt presents well with his straight posture and comely smile. The stylish sweep of his chestnut brown hair starts at the top of his skull, the rest kept closely shorn to his head. He is broad of shoulder and narrow in the waist, one of those unfortunately fit people who require tailor made clothing. His features are regally feral and charmingly rugged, with a slightly pronounced brow ridge, high cheek bones and a wide, squared jawline hidden beneath a perfectly kempt beard. Steely eyes of pale brown watch the world with attentive curiosity, always looking for the next angle or opening. A tattooed neck leads to well defined shoulders and arms. Proportionate. xxxxxKurt favors comfort and style when he dresses and today is no expection, a bespoke suit of blue with a subtle silvered pattern highlights all the right angles of his frame. The button up shirt beneath is solid white, the tie navy, tacked with a solid black opal in the middle. Replete with pocket square matching the tie, the man looks prepared to take over anyone's company for the right price.  xxxxxHooks General Lawyer: One of those slick fuckers with a smooth tone and an even keel. Every one makes jokes about killing them until they need one. Texas: Kurt grew up in the Lone Star State and in fact changed there. Preacher: Like his father before him, Kurt preached the Good Word at Revival Tents for a few years before disappearing off the map. Devilish Voice: His tongue is golden, his smile is black velvet, but his voice can make people do things. Tattoos: All of them, from his neck to his hands and ankles. He is always looking for more. Garou Garou: A shifter, though he turned his back on Gaia. Metis: Funny how the Righteous always end up being the biggest Sinners. Born of two pure bred wolves. Philodox: He was witnessed under the half moon, shown that justice is blind, now he fills his roll as Judge and jury. Black Spiral Dancer: He has danced down the spiral, accepted Mahsstrac. Rituals: One of the key points of Kurt's value is his eagerness to learn, he is currently seeking to broaden his knowledge of Spirits, Rites and the like. Pure Breed: A direct descendant of the woad wearing Picts, he does his ancestors proud.  xxxxxContacts Family Eris - Queen of Mercury, made of quicksilver and entropy. The one and only Little Sister, the one who stayed. After all this time? Always. Estrella - The Lantern of Malfeas here to light the path to Father's release. Power in the making. Claimed. Hamish - Little Brother, former Alpha, still best friend. Den Father now and doing well enough to be proud of. Russ - The Devil's cruelty given physical form. The truth hurts, pain is love. Master of Rites, and lazy no more? Zora - Sent by the Father himself to ensure the final nights come to pass. She is a force of nature to be wielded, knowing the act will consume everything. The Flock Adam - Wants to be a Company Wolf without all the negative press. Time will tell how that works out. Azoth - Keeper of the Land now. Not so long ago there was only sulking, new and improved Azzy is new and improved. Bobbert - Eris' only trustworthy Kinfolk apparently. Supporting reasonable goals is so much easier. Carver - More cunning Kinfolk to manage and maintain. Not to be underrated or estimated, cunning and power are his. Delia - Sent to be the bridge between spirit and man. Training to be more than she is. Dutiful and preciously loyal. Kept. Helen - A willing Convert with many lessons to learn, and a lot of ambition. Not always the best combination. But that cherry was sweet. Kaida - Stolen Kinfolk twice over, changed from a Little Spider to a Little Dragon. Power comes with time and practice. Kiyara - Pretty bat who cheats and beats people at their own games. Caution and respect given in equal measures. Stitching is fun. Malka - The other dragon, a goddess in her own right, a reminder that there are bigger jaws in the dark. Beautiful destruction in flesh. Maximo - Cunning, cruel, creative, driven and has good taste. Reminds me of me once upon a time. Nicola - Consecrated Fomori to Maximo, but damn if there aren't other uses for her too. Pax - Ambition and foolishness are easy to conflate. Icarus flew too close to the sun. Left overs for the Convert. Disappointment, though still useful. The Company Barksdale - Big bark, some bite. Better follower than a leader, but loyal if thrown a bone. Hassana - Fangs in the board room? Hazard - The biggest, dumbest, coolest pile of muscle to ever figure out how to walk. Ivanov - The good doctor has a bad prescription and is a little too into her work at times. James - Old guard, still only seen reports. Knox - The other meatshield. Also somehow possessed of style and panache. Lorcan - Company wolf, ambitious, but we've seen what that gets people. Mewt - The best doggo First Teams could ever ask for. Hidden secrets incites curiosity but little else. Rumor - My Little Bitch, there is a glimmer of hope for potential.

Karasu - Big deal in Chinatown and it's no wonder his fingers are in all the pies. Dangerous, but respected, business partner. Marcus - Kinfolk, and intelligent, also few morals. Someone with whom to plot and keep in line. Selena - Something else, not Garou, but entirely useful. Eager and practiced, she is both conduit and instrument for the schemer. Thomas - Paranoia's avatar in the flesh with feathers. Jumpy and appropriately afraid, but looks after Hamish, so he's a tolerated murder chicken. Tolerated Wormwood - Must you pretend to walk around on two legs? We all know you belong on all four.  xxxxxGallery
