[ KARL ] modern era • character update

[keio]

HAIR■❖ still long, a few inches below the shoulder, layered; bangs fall a soft, unruly way up front. He wears glasses more often now, but wears clear contacts when he's doing something active, i.e. jogging, sparring, etc. Still keeps eartails, though they're kind of part of his layered bangs. He keeps his hair pulled back to a mid-to-low ponytail.

CLOTHING ❖ strong Sartorialist→ taste, with a dose of loose "street-style" effect (i.e., he buys equally from vintage clothing stores, and brand ateliers). He often has a strong accessory point, like his cross, or a silver wristlet. His colours of choice are :

With a consistent grey palette and a stark contrasting cool or warm colour.
Fond of scarves especially in the cold weather.

VICES ❖ Karl smokes Silk Cut→ cigarettes, though he's not a chain smoker (half a pack a day at most). He is a social drinker, and his liquor of choice is Cognac and strictly Stolchnaya vodka. Favorite cocktails include Irish Car Bombs, White Russians, and Tequila Sunrise. He likes French and Chilean wines best. He spikes his coffee with rum if it's not lengthened espresso, or takes the liqueur-based Irish coffees.

PALATE ❖ Dislikes soda, and drinks naturalé water for the most part. Likes Japanese and Vietnamese cuisine, Italian, and Brazilian. Doesn't like German, but likes Viennese better. HATES American food, and enjoys Haagen Dazs ice cream. COFFEE. And Darjeeling tea.

SEXUALITY ❖ Dominant Bisexual, though it would be with a 70% inclination towards men. While he can show signs of physical sadism, he prefers (and constantly exhibits, even if he does so subconsciously) psychological sadism.

BODY FACTS ❖ Has undergone surgery and subsequent rehab therapy before, for a sporting accident on his knee (while fencing), but is fine now. Blood type AB. Abhors, but is not allergic to nuts.

HABITS & HOBBIES ❖ Writes under a pseudonym, for an international political journal. He himself is apathetic, but pours his observations and criticisms in writing. Plays the violin, and has an electric guitar. Has a black cat, Nékro. Covers all his ledgers and personal notes in black and grey paper, with a small colour coder in the spine. Is very careful with his toilet, and never fails to wash himself up after sex or before sleeping in. He shaves in the morning and jogs for an hour before taking his breakfast and showering. Enjoys film immensely, and has taken to joining an independent auteur community in the area (although he doesn't film per se, more like collaborates on the storyboard)

OTHER ❖ Drives a gunmetal-grey luxury pick-up, and as changed the main engine to NOS.

Name » Karl vohn Quinn

Sex » Male (very)

Hair » long, black, layered; average length is about shoulder-length, although sometimes it MAY tend to exceed this. Sometimes also it is shorter, especially after a trim. He keeps it back in a mid-to-low ponytail, and the layered bangs fall over his face softly.

Eyes » green (though I'm thinking #235930→, and #556E50→ are a good base, don't you?)

Face » Tapered oval with slightly sharp angles by the jaw.

Age » 23 years old

Build » Lanky-lean with strong shoulders, around 183 cm in height.

Height » 183 cm

Race » Predominantly Irish-German, with trace ancestry of Czech and Portuguese.

Skin Tone » Fair, freckles very slightly under the sun. He's not as pale as John though, so his skin still reddens a bit when sunburned w/o protection.

Significant notices » Glasses are an accessory, though not necessarily constant. These are basically rimless. He wears them only when he needs to see things from far away, and when he is involved in agile sports/ movement (swimming/sports), he wears clear contacts (waterproof). Nékro is a black ("blue") Balinese cat, who often is seen near Karl, and sometimes rides on his shoulders.
