Hello. My name is Kale; nothing else. And I do not wish to be called anything else, for I quite enjoy just being called Kale. It is a name a man like me says he can be proud of.

I work at a small, wooden lodge deep in the woods; it has lichen hanging from the roof and vines creeping up the sides of it's rotten walls. It's on it's last legs, you could perhaps say. The business I run was once a popular place for tourists and citizens of all types to come enjoy skiing and snow boarding up in the mountains for a day or two. Now it sits here, blending in with the snow and woods around it with only the occasional tourist dropping by to find how disappointing and pitiful the place is. An old vending machine sits in one corner, filled with pop cans and juice bottles. I wouldn't be surprised if most of them have expired; not many people come up here anymore.

Enough about my job; I'm sure you wouldn't want to listen to me whine about it all day long. I guess I should tell you by now that I'm Pansexual, and my biggest dream is to become famous. Yes, I know what you're thinking- how original of me to want to dream of that. Bit just listen to me when I tell you why. I've always known I was never wealthy or rich, I always knew the house I grew up in had mold growing inside the walls, and I knew holes were all around my house that let spiders and wasps come through. Ever since I was a child, I dreamed of becoming famous to gain money that I could put towards improving my family's life and the house they live in. I know I don't live in that same house anymore, but I still care for it as it is what gave me amazing friendships.

Well. If I were on a game show? Boy; would I surely be shocked. Though what game would it be? Jeopardy? Surely I would do pitiful on that; what about 'The wheel of fortune'? Perhaps I could do well on that. Would it be based round money? Or something else? I hope it would be money. It isn't exactly what I would call 'famous'- though the money that I would hopefully would win would mostly go to my family to get them out of poverty; though I would keep some of the money for myself.. Perhaps to tidy up my now empty business? I'm not exactly sure. Simply put, I would be shocked to ever be placed on a game show. Why would anyone pick a simple man like me? I'm one in a world of billions. I don't think I would be someone's first choice; it just doesn't seem proper, to me at least.

I could imagine it right now- coming home to check my mail, to see a letter from the game show's address. Surely they would only send it to the people who would be the participants? Slowly I would open it, to see the two word's 'your on!' catch my eye. I was accepted?! Oh boy! I was accepted! No would be the chance to get the money I needed for my family.
And then.. Oh.. Then I would win, and my family would be wealthy and my business would be booming once again. I would be shocked, but certainly happy- now that I think of it, why should I not go try to get on one right now?!

Hmm.. Where should I start?
The only known thing that I can tell you about my personality, is that others usually call me timid, calm, intelligent, and friendly. I admit I do somewhat agree with them; ever since a small child I have shown that I was in fact intimidated by other children in my school grounds and neighborhood, and I was quick to upset and cry. I have since grown out of the habit of crying, though I do still get hurt easily. Other then that, I don't think I've been mad for at least a year now; no one can get me mad, unless they do or say something horrible. I must admit that I find myself quite the conflict-helper, though it makes others slightly annoyed as I usually always get in the middle of things and try to solve their problems with my words instead of fists. And yes; it is considered a bad habit of mine, though no matter how hard I try I can never seem to get rid of it, even if I try my hardest.

Ever since I was in elementary school, teachers have always noticed my higher IQ level then the other children that surrounded me, and they would often get me tested for giftedness. Though unfortunately it never showed until I was in high school, ten, thirteen years later when I was in grade twelve. Though I never had much friends throughout high school as most of mine had moved away, it didn't matter to me as I thought of them as distractions when trying to strive for straight A's. Though, I always ended getting horrible grades.


By Schnuffel Bunny

I must admit that when I decided to drop out, I never realized I would be gifted until I was tested later on; I was a foolish teenager back then who thought I could find a great job, because of my high intelligence. Now when I think back, I remind myself of how stupid I was, and how I now run a business with no customers. How can you do that? Run a business with no customers I mean- it simply can't work.
I can also say that I do quite think of myself as friendly- if I wasn't how would I have had friends through Elementary and Junior High school? I find it a foolish question to ask, especially when people say they aren't friendly when they do in fact have friends.

My interests? You already know by now that I have a passion for snow boarding and skiing; though I also have a strong liking for flying jets- Wait, you didn't think I meant actual jet planes, did you? Nah; one of my hobbies is flying remote controlled jets! I guess you could call my a collecter; I have over twenty planes with each a different size then the previous. Some are small, some are half the size of my body. Some you can actually fly on water- those ones are my favourites, also the ones that go really fast.

Ever since I was a young child, I've had a love for playing violin and clarinet, and I absolutely love to listen to Mozart and learn more about his history; in my free time I love to write pieces. They are far from masterpieces, and I very rarely show others my work- I am one to heavily criticize everything I do. Beautiful, musical tones that lift my spirited. Though I am not talking about my short pieces; surely no. They are far from peaceful; causing rackets and squeaks. I am talking about Mozart- such beauty, such grace. What a beautiful sound to hear.

Years ago, I was born into a family of.. Six, I believe. Though I could be wrong; I haven't checked up in a while. While I was the most quiet out of my family, I expressed my emotions through music. I would sit upon a small stool and play my heart out on my small violin that I carried around. My family would sit there, mesmerized. To this day I'm not sure if they pretended to be oe that so I wouldn't feel bad, or if they truly were mesmerized- as I told you before, I always critique my work. I always thought I was horrible at it, though since you could have called me mute as a child I never expressed my hate towards how I thought I was horrible.

As I became old enough to go to school, only then did I realize one thing- the fact that I don't think I could ever live through this properly without screwing up. And, oh how I was right; once I was in high school I would reflect upon what I was doing with my life. I would get failing grades in my subjects except for Band and Math; I thought it would continue like this and I would never get into college. And that is where I made a horrible mistake; I dropped out, my younger self believing I could never achieve anything. But only until I would be in grade 12 is when I found out I was gifted; but it had been too late then.

Because of this, no one wanted me no matter how many applications I filled out. It just wouldn't happen; and that's when my love for the mountains, snow, and sports came to mind. I could.. I could make my own lodge. Business would boom, venders would be lined outside as tourists would feast on hot dogs and pizza. And the hotels.. The hotels would be amazing!

But it wouldn't happen; and now, here I sit- only me and an empty business that once could hold such opportunity.

Let's begin!
"Welcome, Kale! How are you on this fine day?"
"M-me? Oh- I'm good. I didn't really have anything planned, so.. Boring, you could say."

"So let's start off.. With easy questions. Do you have a crush, Kale?"
"Wha-? N-n-no!!" //covers eyes and blushes quietly//

"Haha, it's okay. So what do you look for, in that certain special Plumerian, Kale?"
"We'll, uh.. Someone whose more calm and not rude or would make fun of my work; a partner who could help me rebuild the business with me!"

"Great idea! Tell us Kale; what's your sexuality?"
//blushes madly// "Well, I, uh.. I'm Pansexual."

"Great thing to know! And Kale, who is your idol?"
"MOZART. NUTHN' ELSE!!"

,Kale, why is he your idol? There must be a reason behind it?"
"Oh.. Oh, he's absolutely amazing.. His music is heaven to my ears; like an angel is gently swooping in and taking me gently off the ground. It's absolutely stunning."

"What a beautiful description! Kale, where do you live?"
"I live off the coast of Greenland and have developed a slight accent and can speak the language perfectly!"

Aright, just a few more questions! Kale, who are you best friends?"
"M-my best friends..? Well, uh.. After I dropped out and all, I haven't had any.. It's pretty lonely around here.."

"Aww.. Kale, your so cute we'll all be your friends! Is that alright?"
//a blushes uncontrollably//

Alright! That's all! Thank you for stopping by, Kale! See you later!"
"Goodbye!! Have a great day/evening/night!"

[Note this takes place in an Alternate Universe please!] There once was a huge, regal, and proud city that was merely a speck in the corner of a map. The king had no queen to stand by his side, and the princess had no prince to call her own. As you see, the town had been filled by grief for many years, grey, large puffy clouds blocking out any form of sunlight that dared to shine down on the town. The queen had died, and the king now succumbed to depression by the loss of his beloved wife. The city was no longer regal and proud; but dark and depressing. What could a city, once so powerful, do now without a ruler to guide them?

The city slipped into poverty; though the villagers still tried to remain happy. The children and teenagers would find games to play, while the parents would try to gain as much currency as possible.

It had been a Friday morning, the mist from the sea starting to roll in as each villager's breath was turned magically into little puffs of clouds to the younger children's amazement. At this time, a male plumerian had left his small cottage and was now making his way towards the heart of the city. For you see, he lived on the countryside where the flowers bloomed brightly and made the air smell rich and clean. As he stopped, he began to wait for another plumerian to catch up to him- a female, as it dictates. "Saiya! [owned and allowed to use by a s h e s .]" he called, motioning for the white and dark brown plumerian to follow him.
The female plumerian, nodded, coming to walk by his side. She was quiet; though something shined in her eyes that showed she wasn't afraid. "Today would be a good day to go down to the harbor, and see if any of the fishermen are selling cod. Don't you think, Kale?" she explained, her determined eyes looking ahead.
Now at this point, if one were to look at the two it would be easy to tell they were opposites; while Kale was calm, quiet and skittish, Saiya was brilliant, quiet, and fearless as she fought for what she believed to be right.

As the two came to the her or, Kale gast a glance over to the tallest, most regal building of them all; the castle where the King and Princess lived. He imagined what the princess would look like; was she dainty, and elegant? He wouldn't know; a villager like him would never be able to meet royalty.
"Come on; royalty would never speak to us lower villagers," Saiya inquired, noticing his longing looks.

That night, Kale had trouble sleeping; surely, the King and Princess wouldn't despise him so badly that they would send him away without a single glance? This thought tormented him, and he soon found himself longing to meet the princess and let her show him around her royal home.

And that's when he decided. He was going to go to the castle and meet her. Maybe, just maybe if he talked to her she could help the village prosper again. That morning, before Saiya woke up he made the trek up to the castle, where it sat upon a huge hill. "Princess!" he had called from outside her window, and indeed did she respond. She poked her head out, and when she saw it was a worthless villager, she replied with a snort of disgust.
"That's princess Sugar [owned and allowed to use by SoulFireStyx] to you!" she said, her brilliant green eyes glimmering with hatred.
Kale was shocked. The princess, oh the princess was a beautiful woman. Opening his mouth, he spoke only the truth, "Princess Sugar, you are a very beautiful woman. I have been stunned by your beauty; but the village needs help. We will die if you and your father cannot help us," he declared, his voice cracking at the end.
Now- the princess had already known about these troubles, but not enough. She reluctantly invited the pheasant into her castle; and there they drank tea and began to discuss the matter. When Kale left, the two felt like they had made a new friend- and that they had found a way to solve the problem.

The next day, the two met at the castle and knew what they were doing. They marched past the guards, until the narrow tunnels opened up into a magnificent archway. There, in the middle of the room sat the King. Awed, Kale immediately bowed; though the King paid no attention.
Looking up he spoke, "Sugar- why have you brought a villager with you?" he spoke, his voice eerily calm as he large body sat upon a throne.
"Father, oh Genesis! [owned and allowed to use by kdougfang] This villager has come to tell you something," she declared, her stubborn and witty personality starting to shine in her eyes.
Now before we finish- if this was not an AU, King Genesis would be the most outlawed criminal. But, since this is an AU- he is the mightiest, and most powerful king one could hope for.
"Go on," his voice boomed, his calm demeanor starting to ebb away as he watched Kale.
"Oh.. Oh King Genesis!" he started off, looking him straight in the eye. "It's horrible- we're going into poverty, and people are dying. Yet you do nothing? You say you've grieved for your wife every single day. But what about the people who are struggling to hold on when we have major poverty? Children are going sick, the elderly are starving. Can you not spare this for anyone else?" He asked, his voice stern and demanding. He was being serious; he wouldn't let the king think he wasn't.
The king stared at them for what seemed like hours; to long for them both. Suddenly, Princess Sugar yelled at him with every inch of gut she had.
"You- you selfish king! How dare you not help your citizens? I am ashamed for you to be my father- you say you want mother back, but what about everyone else?" She stared at him, her breath becoming heavy. Turning away, she stalked towards the door. "Let's go, Kale," she snapped, making Kale follow her.

As they reached the bottom of the hill, they heard a man yelling at the top of his lungs; as they turned, their faces became speechless as they saw King Genesis racing towards them.
"I- I am sorry. I shouldn't have done this- I'll.. I'll make this city thrive once again," he declared, his voice gaining strength with each breath as his confidence came back.
Sugar's flattened ears lifted up, and she slowly began walking towards him- and to Kale's astonishment, he watched as she touched her nose to her father's as she looked him in the eye. "Oh Father, I knew you had it in you."
The two turned to Kale, and they both smiled. "Thank you, Kale," the king replied, his deep voice booming across the land. 'Because of you, the land will be restored to it's former glory."

Anthro look: Kale in his anthro look is very relaxed and calm; nothing to stylish, or to complicated. On top of his furry head he wears a blue beanie that covers his forehead and goes over the top of his head and hangs down the bottom. In white it has a single music note on the top, showing his love for music. He then proceeds to wear a blue and white scarf, dabbed with little grey and yellow stars. Quite large, it hangs down to his waist and then proceeds to secretly warm up his hands in the winter. He then wears a pull over, baggy hoodie that, once again, has a music note on it. He bought it with his beanie; which is no surprise there. He secretly owns a T-shirt that he never shows anyone; though it's his favorite shirt he owns! It has a pair of nerd glasses on it that read 'geek squad'. With blue jeans to cover his legs and muddy boots for his feet, he is all set and cozy for the mountains!


By Me

Feral look: Much like his anthro form, he wears a blue beanie with a white music note on top; though he has a brown messenger bag filled up with musical pieces on his waist that is so stuffed you will usually see papers flying out of it when he runs. He then has the same scarf he wears in anthro form; though he swaps between one that has the musical note on it and one that is grey and has multiplication, addition, division, and subtraction questions on it.

Oh! How I must tell you.. One of my most hidden fascinations and dreams is to become a famous composer. Music, besides for snowboarding and skiing, is my absolute life. To let people watch your opera and plays worldwide, and hear your name be called out as in 'hey! It's Kale!' would be such an accomplishment of mine. Though.. Though would I have to leave my little shack? All that I've done for it? That, I am not so sure.. Perhaps I could be a stay at home man. I doubt many would come to Greenland though, perhaps.

Ah, for now I must only wait. It is quite comfortable, here in my cabin; though did I ever tell you that I absolutely love mathematic questions? It could be hard to others, though to me, strangely, I find it fun. I would often participate in contests when I was in middle school and high school. Same with spelling bee's; I would rock them!

Though for now, I must go. Until we meet again, good bye!

Fears and Phobias:
Acousticophobia:
Surprisingly, even though Kale has a love for music,
operas, and Mozart, he is terrified of loud noises.
Dentophobia:
Since he was a child, Kale has been terrified
of dentists. He is horrified whenever he must
walk into a dentistry and see all the tools they
must prod him with.
Metathesiophobia:
Last on this list, Kale is scared by the prospect
of change. He cannot handle it; he is one who
must keep everything in order, or it will
not be considered perfect. He believes
any change at all will screw up his daily life.

Hobbies and such:
Music:
Kale absolutely loves playing his violin
and his clarinet; he will spend hours
practicing and perfecting his musical
talent whenever he possibly can.
Snowbaording:
Though his business is skiing and
snowboarding, ironically he only
knows how to snowboard.
Electronic airplanes:
Kale absolutely loves flying
electronic airplanes on sunny,
clear days in the summer
when he has free time!

okay so yeah this is a big space;
unfortunately it may take a bit
so let's just talk for now!
How is your day/morning/night?
I'm doing good, thank you!
ok anyways yeah woot woot
toot toot hey yo yo yo yo
Being random kkkkkkkk
because I can yo yo hey
and I need to mhm mh
wow this is long lmaooo
just a little more okay just
just a little more and then it's
gonna be done okay just believe
meeeeeee

Relationships and romance:
If Kale ever went into a relationship, their partner would understand they would need to comfort him a lot; since he gets upset and hurt easily, he would need lots of emotional support.
He would most likely be very awkward around them for the first few times they met up; he wouldn't know what to do and would immediately stare at them while fiddling with their paws wildly. Their face would burn up and he would stutter and be afraid to speak to them in case he said something wrong. The first immediate thing he would ask them is if they loved music- and what type. He wouldn't stick around long if they were rude or didn't give them the support they needed; he would leave them and leave their moody personality to their self.

Besides this, Kale would much rather be by himself; he doesn't believe anyone would like him, and since many people don't live in Greenland where he lives, he would most likely not meet anyone. If he were to visit somewhere one day, that is where he may find someone. Though if they asked if he would live with them, he would have to say no- he couldn't live his little shack up in Greenland.

Meeting strangers:
When Kale first meets a stranger,
he will often prod and poke at them
until he can confirm they will not hurt him;
though he doesn't entirely trust them all at
once in that single instant. After all, they
could be fooling him into falling into their
arms and then lashing at him. Though he does
not think of his costumes this way; he will gladly
answer questions and point them to directions
when they need help.

Soundtrack for Kale [modern]:
1. Stay alive
2. Bernadette
3. Space odyssey

4. Brave
5. Dirty Paws
6. Hey Brother
