" Take it all in... the dark, beautiful brokenness that is my beauty."In demeanor and appearance Kurt seems to resemble some sort of weasel. He's short and scrawny with watery grey eyes that bulge out his skull slightly, perhaps due to the heavy eyeliner he wears. His short black hair is stringy due dousing it in hairspray every morning. He has a piercing on his tongue and a small tattoo of a broken heart on his back. He hopes to get a new tattoo as soon as his mom lets him.
Kurt's style is best described as a mish-mash of whatever he thinks looks edgy or cool. He usually wears a snapback hat with spikes dotted all over, and a leather jacket peppered in small pins he's collected over the years. He also wears distressed skinny jeans with lace up boots. Kurt evens wears an old dog collar from his mom's drawer at home. He's attached several dog-tags to it, so every move he makes is accompanied by clanging.

"Ooooh... a look at my tortured pysche. The true roots of my pain are so deep, you'll never find them... oh. I should write that down."⋗ M A I N G O A L ⫻ Kurt really wants to be an artist, or perhaps a poet. He has the artistic abilities of a drunken toddler, but he's almost never seen without a sketchbook and is often scribbling furiously in it.
⋗ P H I L O S O P H Y ⫻ People don't like you because they don't understand you. They deny brutal truths of the world because they want to avoid them.
⋗ S E C R E T S ⫻ Kurt often acts tough, but he's frightened ridiculously easily. Also, both his piercing and his tattoo were obtained before he was of legal age to get one. The only person who doesn't know that is his mom, since he brags about it to everyone else.
⋗ D E S I R E S ⫻ Kurt really just wants to be cool. He has a deep desire to be respected and impressive to other people, although he attempts to get respect in such an obnoxious way he only achieves the opposite.
⋗ S E X U A L I T Y ⫻ He'll take what he can get.
⋗ F E A R S ⫻ He's spooked by all sorts of things, especially clowns. He also is very squeamish around bugs.
⋗ R E P U T A T I O N ⫻ Kurt has never had many friends. He's seen as obnoxious and arrogant around people his age, and to adults he's a typical brooding teenager trying to stir up trouble.
⋗ P E T P E E V E S ⫻ He's likely to butt heads with anyone overly cheerful or optimistic, as he finds both traits grating. Kurt's annoyed by others interrupting or ignoring him as well.
⋗ Q U I R K S ⫻ Kurt loves writing really awful creepypastas and horror stories. He also tends to get incredibly excited when people show interest in his art or poetry. Once some poor sap politely asks about a drawing, he'll never shut up about the process, symbolism, and meaning of his work.

"Man, life has been cruel to me!"For what it's worth, Kurt's had a pretty okay childhood. His parents divorced when he was pretty little, so he doesn't remember or know his father well, except that he sent Kurt a tie for his birthday every year. His upbringing was fairly normal in a lower-middle class family. His mom was always sweet to him and made sure he was happy. She never seemed to understand how his sloppy drawing of a bannana was supposed to represent the inevitability of death, but she tried to and encouraged his interest in art nonetheless.
His time is school was another story, though. Kurt's school days were always spent by himself. He never had a lot of friends in school, and always seemed to drive away potential buddies with his strange ways. Somehow, he managed to make a few friends in highschool by the time he graduated highschool. He hasn't done much since graduating: he has plans to attend college and get a job but also intends to mooch off his mom for awhile at home. After months of doing nothing but watching TV, Kurt recieved an odd invite from his highschool friends. He was puzzled by the invitation to come along for their meetup, but has decided to come, just to see what it'll be like...

"I'm still waiting for the world recognize my genius."⋗ Drawing/Writing ⫻ Although he isn't neccesarily skilled at either writing or drawing, he does have a lot of experience with it. His art is crude and sloppy, but he puts a lot of effort in it.
⋗ Dirty Coward ⫻ Besides being self-obsessed, Kurt is also rather selfish. When push comes to shove, he'll prioritize his own survival over others without hesitation.
