ｐｅｒｓｏｎａｌｉｔｙ
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬


A hermit. A whisper. A blur.

Perhaps what people first notice about Julian is that.. they never notice him.

He stays inside, rarely finds himself in direct daylight- his neighbors barely know his name, his mailman can’t fit another letter into the mailbox he never checks. He scurries outside only when absolutely necessary, and once he does what he must he’ll hurry back under the safety of a roof.

He’s a ghost, a momentary figure that tends to vanish when people do a double take.

It’s hard to know what to think of someone like this. A kalon who constantly avoids social interaction to this extent, it’s unusual and always brings the question of, “why?”

The answer isn’t a specific one, more of an umbrella covering a number of traits and reasons that keep Julian generally isolated. For example, he’s rather shy. In a conversation, he’s likely to come off charismatic and witty, but chances are he’ll walk away flustered and almost shaking and wondering if he said the right things.

It’s a controlled shyness, in a sense; Forced into a conversation, Julian will do well and appear to be calm and collected, but honestly- he’s more of a mess than he lets on. He’d never willingly approach a stranger or give a public speech or anything of the like, despite being a good conversationalist. (He does tend to get tongue tied easily, but he’s learned to glide over his mistakes without a bat of an eye.)

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬


Getting passed the fact that this kalon almost doesn’t exist, Julian is a world of personality, of quirks and ideas that only need to be discovered- which isn’t a hard task. A scratch as the surface will reveal the treasure within. Julian isn’t one to be secretive, and while he isn’t naive and overly trusting, he’s good at judging character. If someone seems cool, he won’t hesitate to get to know them, and allow them to get to know him.

Julian’s a chill guy, he doesn’t hold mass amounts of worry or stress. He doesn’t necessarily go with the flow (he chooses his own path), but he won’t wade up the river if it means unnecessary hassle.

He’s the type of person to wear a t-shirt and slacks, to make casual comments or jokes that sound surprisingly crude coming from him. He enjoys calming activities, whether that be doodling the scene he’s sitting in front of, or playing with kinetic sand.

Of course, in public, he tries to come off more professional. As a casual standard he’ll wear a polo and half decent pants, but if it unfortunately comes to it, he’ll don a suit and dress shoes (rarely can he bring himself to wear a tie, though). If a kalon isn’t really a friend, Julian will reserve his thoughts, put a filter over his words so that his usual blunt tendencies are stored away for another day.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬


For better or or worse, Julian is a workaholic. Day and night, his job is on his mind. The sun comes and goes and his focus will still lay entirely on the paper in front of him.

He enjoys doing other things, but his work captures him.
Knowing this, Julian tries to take days off, though his plans often fall through as he instead decides to stay home again. Nonetheless, there are days when he does manage to pick up a phone and call a friend.

Socialization has never been a large part of Julian’s life; Since childhood, he’s preferred his own company and the comfort of a quiet environment. However, that isn’t to say that he’s totally without a social life or that he doesn’t have friends. Enough time passes and anyone is sure to get a tad lonely.

With his friends, he’ll go bowling, or to a restaurant, or somehow he’ll end up screeching as he reaches the loop on a rollercoaster.

He may not seem it, but Julian is terrified of thrills like amusement park rides. Nonetheless, he can’t seem to avoid them. The horror is rejuvenating, a good change from his average, tranquil day.

It doesn’t take high speeds to excite Julian, though. He’s a naturally excitable person, and it doesn’t take much more than petting a stray cat to make him happy. Even sparkly stickers have gotten the best of him. Perhaps childish, Julian doesn’t mind the confusion some seem to hold over a grown man sparkling over everyday things. His friends usually find it endearing.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬


Obviously, Julian is more than what meets the eye. A passing kalon with an unknown identity to most. Inside, he’s really just shy, but still a cool guy. A man of high status, with an important job, but not the least bit stuck up.

Actually, if anything, he’s one of the sweeter kalons around. It doesn’t always show, but he adores animals, he’s lovely with children (he doesn’t know what he does, but he can always cheer them up), he’ll help a stranger carry their bags to their front door. Julian might be a hermit who avoids people, but he doesn’t hate people- and he’ll do what he can to lend a helping hand.

At the end of the day, who is Julian? An organized mess, a reserved observer, a laidback kalon who goes where the world takes him. To anger him is near an impossible task, he isn’t obnoxious or loud. He can be straightforward perhaps- saying things without thinking, his thoughts slipping out a bit too harshly. But he isn’t ever rude, not because he wishes to be.

Imagine a desk settled in front of a window. Outside is a beautiful night sky, lit by twinkling lights, blue and red and yellow. But the curtain is drawn shut, because the focus is not on the outside world but on what lays on the table. Dim light, sort of orange, strangely cozy, illuminating a number of pencils and pencils, scattered everywhere. Under them is a large paper, with sketchy gray lines that form a scene. A house in a field, plotted in the midst of an age old tree and wildflowers and butterflies and bees.

Though if someone walked up to the desk, they wouldn’t see this, because with his head down on top of it is Julian, fast asleep.

When it’s the dead of the night, his pencil is against paper.
While he shovels cereal into his mouth, his other hand doodles.
When he’s staring into space, his mind is placing together blocks and shapes, creating a complex structure that’ll one day become the home of another kalon.

Julian is an architect, or as he’d rather say, “an artist of which shapes the foundation of society, who creates the basic structure and aesthetic of the cities that we live in.”

He usually laughs after stating this, “I’m playing it up. I lock myself in my room and draw shapes everyday.”

But truly, Julian does believe his job is an important one, equivalent to that of any artist, any painter or author or musician. Architecture is more of a forgotten art, one that people don’t necessarily think of or recognize upon glancing at it, but if it weren’t for architects, what would society be?

Boring. Plain houses, boxes among boxes, plain buildings no different from the last.

It’s an architect’s job to literally shape the world.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬


Architects aren’t loners in their industry. They work with their clients, with engineers and a team of other architects. Now, while this social aspect of the job is hard to avoid, Julian does all in his power to take the entire project upon his own shoulders so he can at least avoid the design team (much to their dismay). Inevitably, he’ll be made to check in with every person in on the project, but he’ll put it off for as long as he can.

In this time of history, digital work is commonplace for architects. Julian too spends much of his time doing detail work on a computer, though he’s made it a point to stick to paper. His designs always are created with lead first thing, before being transferred to ones and zeros.

There’s something about dragging a pencil along paper in the warm light of a lamp in the midst of the night; something more appealing that tapping keys and letting technology take over.
