Name: Kael Iscariot
Alias: Judas
Age: 17
Gender:Male
Tribe: [On account of sloth, please feel free to choose for me]
Rank: [On account of sloth, please feel free to choose for me]
Nationality: American
Politics: Democracy
Romantic orientation: Bisexual
Appearance: Kael obtains the look of an oddball, with his quite obviously dyed[and very badly dyed] blacker than black hair, which compliments his golden blonde eyebrows oh so very nicely. This particularly strange look is actually the result of loosing a bet with his friends shortly before coming to New Pork. His hair looks shaggy and rather unkept. It stops just a few inches past his shoulders and usually, he is seen tying the extra hair in a small ponytail. His eyes are a burnt honey color, though he'll classify them simply as brown for the sake of his 'manliness,' or rather what little he is suspected to have at his alarmingly lacking height. Kael possesses a somewhat feminine looking face which when combined with his shortness gets him a never-ending amount of playful teasing from his friends. This pretty-boy look to him is probably why he allowed himself to grow some stubble, which consequently makes his dyed hair all the more obnoxiously noticeable. Even despite the fact that Kael is in a ruined city with rubble and dirt everywhere he still makes a futile attempt to dress presentably; thus you will often see him in dusty black slacks and scuffed black shoes, a somewhat worn white dress shirt and a black jacket, usually open. Kael also has horribly bad vision, so he's usually seen wearing his pair of square-lens glasses since although he brought them with him, he's afraid his contacts will one day roll over to the back of his eyes and he'll never get them out again.
Attitude: Kael's personality would be almost the exact contradiction of his infamous last name. He's known to have always been overly friendly, and pleasantly humorous along with a fun-loving attitude, and such an abundance of optimism about life that it gets annoying at times. He seems to view everybody around him as a little brother or sister regardless of the fact that they are usually taller than him, and sometimes older, and often irritated by his presence. He's frequently regarded as naive, and at times he can be particularly dense of a situation, especially so if it calls for maturity. Kael is a very much laidback person and he is often goofy by nature. However, he can become serious and task-oriented within seconds when needed... It just doesn't seem to happen too much. Kael is also infamously known for going through many types of childish phases in the span of one week. One day he'll enjoy the pleasure of eating beef and the next day he's a vegetarian. He'll be religious for maybe a week at the most and then soon after will suggest using a bible for firewood. He likes to point out the most random of things at the worst of times and can be especially tiresome since he loves to talk and be incredibly social. If he's particularly bored, he enjoys foolishly teasing the first person he sees. Kael seems to like just about everybody, and it's rare that he comes across a person that he's not fond of. He always looks on the brighter side and checks for a silver lining. If nothing else, he's a generally kind person.
Notable History: Kael was never your typical angst-ridden, suicidal, psychopathic, 'saw-my-parents-murdered-right-infront-of-me' type kid. He had no relatives in New York who had died in the plague, nor did he have any friends or acquaintances there. There was no major, life-altering tragedy that he experienced before he came to New Pork. He was actually fairly content in the suburbs in which he lived, and until the day he left he had led a fairly comfortably, middle-class life. Why he had suddenly fled to the ruined city left everybody in his family, in his school, and in his neighborhood baffled. He had never shown any signs of displeasure, and he had never been one to seek adventure either. All the same he had left, without a goodbye or a word to anybody about it, and nobody who knew him could quite explain why.
Kael had been born in the summer to his mother[Mehgan]and his father[Reginald] and had been named after his great uncle, who had passed away just two months earlier. His last name, was the result of an unfortunate misinterpretation. Kael's great grandmother had been an American woman who had liked to travel, especially around Asia and Europe. On one of her escapades, she had met Kael's great grandfather whose surname had been somewhat close to the name Iscariot but not quite it. When Kael's great grandfather had gone through Ellis Island, so he could live in America with Kael's grandmother, they had mis-translated their name and made it 'Iscariot.' Neither one of them were overly religious, and both were somewhat unorthodox so they didn't bother changing the name despite its negative associations. You would think that down the line somewhere the family would get an over-religious Christian bigot to change the name, but they didn't, they only got somewhat odd, and fairly open-minded children. So the name stuck.
In his sixteen years outside of New Pork, Kael was generally well liked except by those particularly hateful towards small irritations. He seemed at least to be the exact opposite of what his surname implied. He poked fun at his name a lot in fact, simply because it seemed so contradictory. Kael had always been overly friendly, especially when it was least needed. That's exactly how he had met Sara. And Sara is exactly how he had come to New Pork.
Sara Conover lived right across the street from Kael. She was about two years younger than him, and was over-emotional almost to the point of annoyance. All the same, she was a friend of his, but if nothing else she was rather ungrateful. She had been an orphan until she was three years old when she was adopted by the Conovers. They were nice people, friends of Kael's close-knit family. Sara, however, refused to see the good in her situation and always dwelled on the fact that she was an orphan. She would wear all black in school and coincidently mention to people that her parents had died when she was very little. She liked attention, she liked to be sympathized with, she like to be spoiled, and she didn't much like the people who had adopted her because once she was old enough they wouldn’t give her any of the three. That's probably why she ran away to New Pork, so she could receive some sort of sympathy. Even if a little irritating, she had always been fearless so going to a ruined city didn't faze her. However, Sara had never been particularly smart or respectful. She didn't seem to grasp the fact that going to the once New York was dangerous. Therefore, a week and a day after she had left, Kael headed toward New Pork to fetch her, without a word to anybody else about it.
Reputation: Kael is well known for being unconditionally kind. Apparently he acts as a big brother to the world, always wanting to help like an older sibling would -- almost to the point of annoyance. He is said to be overly friendly and joking in situations when it is least needed. Also seems to have an annoying habit of adjusting his glasses.
