Longest character meme ever: Kyle Brooks
Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Somewhere around five-feet four-inches. Kyle is not a large man. It’s mentioned that he and Mercy are around the same size and she’s not a particularly tall woman. So, yes. Petite but not a pushover.
2. How old is he?
Turning the big 3-0, and don’t mention it to him or he will snap your head off. Birthdays are something that Kyle absolutely aren’t counting.
3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch?
Kyle doesn’t slouch, although he might lean alluringly, or otherwise pose. He likes putting his body on display, it calls attention away from what his mind might be doing.
4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
Kyle goes to the gym five times a week, and runs daily. He’s in great shape, although the stress of his job (or more likely, the stress of worrying about what Warren’s up to) wears on his health.
5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
Gracefully. Kyle moves with minimum effort and maximum appeal, which he practices and knows looks good.
6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror?
Kyle is extremely physically attractive. Well-groomed, well-kept, and he knows it and works hard to maintain it. He’s a little vain, really. Of course, he does worry about little lines and wrinkles and god forbid there should ever be a grey hair. It doesn’t help that Warren will never look older. At all.
7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
Not pale, but he doesn’t spend ages tanning to a crispy brown either. His only scars consist of a line on his knee from falling off a bike when he was six and faint marks on his ribs from where an agitated Warren swiped him (completely by accident and Kyle forgives him utterly for it).
8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style.
A healthy chestnut brown with hints of lighter honey-gold in the sun, but in colder months or when his hair is wet it is the colour of dark chocolate. His hair is thick and according to canon he gets it cut weekly in the latest style, presumably by the best hairdressers in the city.
9. What color are his eyes?
Greyish blue.
10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
All of Kyle is noteworthy. But seriously, he has pouty lips too.
11. What are his chief tension centers?
The temples and his shoulders. Although Kyle can hide tension in both these places extremely well when he wants to.
12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit?
Kyle‘s wardrobe is vast and eclectic. On the one hand, he has the smart tailored suits, the expensive polo shirts, the well-fitting designer jeans, a shoe closet, labels upon labels upon fashion labels. On the other hand, he has a “special” wardrobe he uses when he’s trying to fake out other people. Pink cowboy hats, leather chaps, loud Hawaiian shirts, and every gay stereotype imaginable. Whatever Kyle’s wearing, he makes a statement.
13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them?
Kyle‘s clothes always fit well, and he is always comfortable in them.
14. Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences?
That depends on what kind of job he‘s doing. If he’s visiting his client’s significant other and their lawyer pre-trial, then Kyle may very well wear things he would never wear in his free time.
15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
Designer briefs.
Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
Kyle’s voice is soft and higher-pitched than the average man's voice.
2. How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate?
Again, it depends on what he’s doing and who he’s talking to. Kyle can change himself to suit a situation, and that includes his voice.
3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?
An American accent, and he sometimes talks like he came straight out of Cotillion but other than that, nothing I‘d call a quirk.
4. What language/s does he speak, and with how much fluency?
Kyle speaks English as a native language, and was educated in Latin. His travels as a teen give him a fluency in Spanish and Italian, and his business contacts have lent him smatterings of Mandarin and other Asian languages.
5. Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
If it’s necessary to do so, but usually if he’s speaking English and that person understand him then he will continue in English.
6. Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words?
Kyle makes a living out of speaking, and although most of it is prepared speech, he‘s also very good at the spur of the moment.
7. Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
Kyle is eloquent in all things except talking about his feelings or other people‘s feelings. Or in circumstances when he’s helpless and knows it, although he’s more likely to keep his mouth shut than stutter and fumble with words in that case.
Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is he book-smart or street-smart?
Kyle is smart. A business man and a practical thinker. Very well-educated. Graduated from Cornell at the top of his class and at a young age. It’s mostly book smarts though. Sometimes the real world throws him for a loop.

Kyle would rather have time to think, but he knows sometimes it’s not possible and he’ll do what he has to, when he has to.
3. Describe the character's thought process. Is he more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?
Kyle would like to think he’s more logical than intuitive, but his feelings get the better of him sometimes. If it’s just business, then he can be extremely practical and distance himself. If it involves more of the gooey emotional messes, then Kyle can be ruled by his feelings.

Kyle is an extrovert in that he likes people, likes being around people, but he doesn’t really let them that close. Which I suppose would make him an introvert?

7. Describe the character's temperament. Is he even-tempered or does he have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?
Kyle is mostly laid-back, or at least he gives the appearance of being laid back. He can smile cool and cut you to shreds later, when he has the time. If he really trusts you, he will show his true feelings, but even then it would take something extreme to draw it out.
8. How does he respond to new people or situations? Is he suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?
Depends on the person or the situation. Kyle likes to provoke if he senses disapproval. But he can be charm itself otherwise.

Default is flight. Kyle runs from the overwhelming.
11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does he appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks?

16. What is something he doesn't want anyone to find out about him?
Werewolves still scare him.
Relationships

2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?

Strength, confidence, someone he can trust.

Turn offs: Cruelty, carelessness, uncertainty.
