Name: Kevin Miles

Alias: Paladin

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Personality: Ever since childhood Kevin has been a rather impulsive person. With little else to care for, he pursues his own goals with little regard for the future as he lives in the here and now. Kevin’s an adventurer and lives for the thrill, actively seeking out danger and excitement. He is a kind hearted individual but can be very sarcastic and enjoys joking a lot. Overall Kevin is a very laid back person though below this outer shell he displays extreme loyalty to the few people close to his heart. 

Kevin has a paralysing fear of spiders and loves jewellery and accessories. One can never go wrong in getting him a bracelet or two when a present is called for. He is a very huggable and loving person who seems to have little to no knowledge of personal space. 

Persona: As Paladin, Kevin's personality shifts towards an honourable knight. He turns serious, chivalrous and values honour highly. This is one of the reasons to his hatred for firearms, there is no honour in them. 

Appearance: Kevin looks like a rather everyday person. He stands at 5’8” with dark brown hair falling down to his neck and bangs stretching down across his forehead. Without direct light, his hair would look black as night. A pair of light brown eyes rests above his nose and he would be considered a rather scrawny individual whom would do well with ‘some food and training’. 

Kevin is most often seen in a pair jeans, sneakers, a black tank top and several leather bracelets across his right forearm with a single rainbow coloured one sticking out more than the other brown and black ones. On his left forearm he wears two black leather bracelets. It is not uncommon to see him wear a bandana consisting of a thin scarf life material with small golden chain of jewellery stretching out across the band. 

Kevin’s overall appearance would point him towards the middle eastern part of the world, Egypt in particular. He changed his name for personal reasons, mainly to escape a complicated family life. 

Costume: Kevin’s attire is a rather simple outfit consisting of a scarf that covers his shoulder and top part of his torso as well as a hood over his head. Below his hood he wears a sleek ivory mask protecting his identity.

Covering his body, Kevin wears a white coat with a white set of pants and knee high white, protective boots. This rather action movie inspired outfit gave him the name Paladin. Around his waist he wears a set of black belts with a sword hanging down his left side. His sword is a simple yet elegant straight long blade like that of western knights. The weapon has a story, but Kevin seems slightly reluctant to tell it.

Powers/Skills: Since childhood, Kevin has possessed a frame that’s rather unchangeable. He cannot gain weight, cannot build visible muscles and apparently seems rather scrawny. This makes it interesting then how his mutation grants him super human prowess. Kevin possesses strength, speed, agility, resilience and reflexes far above the average human but it has it’s limits. 

Kevin’s strength is measured to the level where he is able to punch through a wooden wall with ease. He cannot do to the same to steel and such however, but he has been seen to be able to dent it. When it comes to speed, Kevin has displayed quickness rivalling that of a speeding car, but then, it depends on the car. He cannot outrun a racing car even if he tried. Due to his super human agility and training, Kevin has displayed immense acrobatic abilities and his reflexes makes him a very vigilant combatant. Finally, Kevin’s resilience stretches as far as bludgeoning damage. Getting hit will hurt, but his body can withstand basic punches and heights. Any bladed or piercing weapon will damage him just the average human being.

Rise to Fame: Kevin was merely at the right place at right time for fame to have struck. That day he had decided to buy himself a birthday gift. As per usual, Kevin stood with his hands in his pockets and an iPod playing in his ears as he was waiting for his turn in the jewellery shop. 

A set of four men casually walked into the small store before pulling their guns, told everyone to get down and started the heist. It was rather late that day, and the shop would close only half an hour later. Either the men had miscounted or this was easier than a sneaking mission.

Due to the music blasting in his ears, Kevin only noticed the commotion as everyone else in the store started to panic and got down on the floor. He blinked in confusion, took off the headset and turned to see a gun pointed at his forehead. “Are you fuckin’ deaf, kid?” The grunt took a step forward and pressed the barrel against Kevin’s skull.

“Oh, sorry…” It was a rather exciting situation to say the least and Kevin couldn’t help but smile, albeit nervously. His heart was beating fast and he knew that the next few seconds would decide his fate. He could either do as the men kindly suggested or fight back. The latter was a stupid choice, but Kevin was never really a smart person. 

With the gun pressed against him, Kevin quickly disarmed the man the with a powerful kick sent him into the other three standing my entrance. Before they were able to comprehend what had happened, Kevin dashed forth and delivered a few powerful strikes to knock them out before anyone else got hurt. He stood shivering in both excitement and fear before he dropped down to his knees. This was it, the excitement he was craving. It didn’t take long before the police came and Kevin handed over the criminals, however the mere feeling of knowing that he could deep destroy them at any moment was an incredibly scary and fantastic realisation. ‘With great power comes great responsibility’ is something constantly said by many but at that moment, he truly understood what it meant. 

Arch Nemesis: Kevin is not the only one in his family with powers. In fact, he got the powers from his mother who possesses the very same set of abilities, albeit much more powerful. Kema, Kevin’s mother, trained him in martial arts and the usage of his power soon after he could walk and picked up the role of mentor. As the years passed, she turned darker in her ways and her teachings leaned more towards indoctrination than encouragement and Kevin, Majid at the time, noticed this slow progression towards something else, something darker. 

It turns out that his mother was preparing her son for a place in a coven for equally powerful individuals possessing abilities much like Kevin and his mother. Kevin played along for a while until he was able to manage further studies of this coven and found out their villainous ways and power hungry struggle. Unable to accept this, Kevin grabbed the sword his mother had given him and escaped the coven’s clutches. He is now hunted by their wrath. While their first act would be to bring him back to their ranks, killing him is an equally valid plan Kema would be on the front of. 

Kevin never knew of any other family except his mother, and was never told of his father. 

Personal Arc: The coven would find Kevin and persuade him to return, or kill him. The latter is the most expected outcome as the young man would have no desire to return. Kevin has little chance against his mother but he knows that an inevitable fight will eventually come to pass.
