Hidaka Ken
Age: 19 in Weiss Kreuz: Kapital (I took him post-series, so he should be at least 20, but I didn't want to start messing with ages and timelines so camp Ken is still 19. He'll be 20 in December.)
Eyes: Brown (STFU LEFTOVER PAINT COLOR-CHANGE EYES)
Hair: Brown
Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/spit at/step on/etc?: I'm always up for crack, so long as there's a reason for the switch.
Hugging/Kissing/Other non-violent physical contact: Always a good thing. Notably, Ken is most easily reassured and comforted through contact.
Maim/Murder/Death: All systems go for breaking/bruising/bleeding/etc. No loss of limbs/eyes/appendages, please. And run death by me first, because if certain people are around, the situation could get nasty.
Big note: RUN BURNS BY ME TOO. k? k. If your character is likely to fling a fireball at him? Please tell me before I have to deal with Major Ken Emo (tm). I'd rather avoid it, honestly.
What's Okay To Mention Around Him: Anything! But be aware that talking about your family might make him emo a little, since he doesn't think he'll ever have one. He's getting better about lack-of-an-education emo, but it's still there, so going on about your degree in ____ will probably make him feel stupid. Also, if you tell him about your psycho abusive parent/sibling/teacher/etc, he will get upset and protective. And possibly try to snuggle you.
Physical traits: 5'8", lean and well-muscled. According to Emilio he has nice thighs. He doesn't have any tattoos or piercings, but if you ever see him in any state of undress, you will probably notice extensive burn scars.
Abilities: Ken is a trained assassin with a close-range weapon, and between that and being a professional soccer player, he's fast, strong, and has amazing reflexes. Recently he's learned to shoot a gun and crossbow, and soon he'll be learning how to handle a sword as well. As for non-fighting, non-soccer skills... he's a great motorcyclist. If I tried to do half the things he does on that bike, I'd be dead. Omi also taught him how to hack, and thanks to the Koneko, he makes a lovely wedding bouquet.
Secrets: Ken's only real secret is that he's an assassin, which he's only careful about because of the fact that Weiss killed Tot's "father." He's told a few people in camp that he trusts. Other things he keeps quiet but not exactly secret are his violence addiction,
Other random stuff!
* Ken has a fear of fire. You would, too, if you were burned alive.
* Unless he's sleeping with someone, Ken has nightmares. He's quiet about them 90% of the time... he'll wake up with a little start, roll over, steady his breathing, and go back to sleep.
* Ken doesn't identify himself sexually. He's very clearly not straight. But he's also not exactly gay. Thing is, if you call him bi, he'll look at you funny. As far as Ken is concerned, he just likes who he likes and if you have a problem with that you can go fuck off. He can't stand labels.
* Ken defers to authority. Authority being very loosely defined as someone who knows better/is more capable than him. This occasionally ties in to his inferiority complex and low self-esteem, but for the most part it's just him being smart enough to accept the fact that he doesn't know everything, and he isn't always the best person for the job. Sometimes he'll be pushing about helping, or coming along for something, but he doesn't have any issues with taking orders or following directions.
* Ken doesn't use honoraries, canonically or in camp. I could theorize, but it would all be mindless ramblings, so I'm not going to bore you. Just know that he isn't being particularly intimate or rude, he just.. doesn't use them.
