Name: Kimberly Rene “Wookiee” Faye
Birthday: July 19th, 1977
Height: 199cm
Appearance: Kimberly's appearance had always daunted those around him. Maybe it was his hollow dark eyes that observed the world with an intense glare so powerful that it might as well have the ability to disintegrate people with a simple glance. It might have been because his facial muscle was as flexible as granite, usually showing no other expression other than grouchy and a homicidal smile. Or maybe it was just because he was a giant. Something about him made little children cry, women take out their pepper spray, and keep the emergency line busy with calls pertaining to a suspicious individual. Kimberly has been questioned by the authorities, numerous times, on the basis that he looked like a(n): gang member, escaped criminal, terrorist, serial killer, wookiee, and werewolf. Not many believed he was innocent on all counts.
His unkempt long wavy hair, initially grown in attempt to make himself invisible and less threatening, has been Kimberly's trademark; the reason why he would come to be known as “Wookiee”. Now that he is capable of growing facial hair, Kimberly has a beard that his equally as long and untamed as his scalp hair, further cementing the name “Wookie”. Fortunately or unfortunately for him, Kimberly's family tend to play with his hair so often that it is not rare to find Kimberly walking around with braided hair and beard ornamented with hair clips and ribbons.
Ever since the war, Kimberly has maintained a muscular body so that he would be better equipped to protect and support his remaining family members, two seniors and a small child, from the brutal world.
As for attire, Kimberly has never been picky. He would wear just about anything as long as he was comfortable in them: even if the clothing do not actually match or look good on him.
Biography: Kimberly was born as the only child between Lee Faye, an ex-convict, and Joyce Evette Appleberry, a photographer. Though they were not financially wealthy, the Faye family lived peacefully for the first three years of Kimberly's life. That was, until Kimberly's father was arrested for murders that he did not commit. For two years, Lee and Joyce tried to prove Lee's innocence. For two years Joyce and Kimberly were harassed by the media and those who were convinced Lee was the culprit. For two years they fought and failed. When Kimberly was five, Lee Faye was executed. A few days later, out of a moment's disappear, Joyce committed suicide. She had attempted to take her son with her, but Kimberly survived the whole ordeal.
Kimberly was sent to live with his heterodox grandparents, “Mrs.” Clair Appleberry and Mrs. Michaela Appleberry, in Elstow. “Mrs.” Clair Appleberry, Kimberly's biological grandfather, actively worked as a botanist while her wife Michaela ran a coffeehouse in Helston. Moving to Elstow was supposed to be the new beginning that Kimberly desperately needed, but unfortunately for him, everyone in Elstow and Helston, knew Kimberly as the son of a murder. Where ever he went, Kimberly was greeted with cold stares and whispers that he pretended not to hear. Rumors were what people knew of Kimberly. No one got close to him more than necessary and Kimberly kept his distance away from others. It would have stayed like this for the rest of Kimberly's life if he had not met Max. Max opened the world for Kimberly: he would go places he would never go to, do things he would have never done alone, and become friends with those who would have been simply acquaintances. Max's death devastated Kimberly, but like the others, he managed to move on.
In middle school Kimberly met his future wife, Nancy April Rose. The two teenagers married before Kimberly was sent off to the front lines where he would fight the abominations for the entirety of the war. Nancy was not immediately drafted due to her pregnancy. After giving birth to a baby girl, Maxine Jolee “Max” Faye, Nancy worked as a mechanic at the rear. Kimberly would end up missing the first few years of his daughter's life and the last moments of Nancy's. Six months before the war would officially end, Nancy was brutally raped and murdered during a raid. After returning from the war, Kimberly has been living with his daughter and his grandparents in a community dedicated to restoring Pandora's former natural beauty. Kimberly primarily works as a farmer and protects the community from thugs.
Personality: Despite the stoic-henchman looking appearance, Kimberly himself is a kindhearted innocuous gentleman who has trouble expressing himself. For those who have no idea what kind of person Kimberly is, he may appear phlegmatic or even impassive, but he is far from both. He is more loquacious in his mind than he is in reality and he is much more emotional than his face allows him to be. Mild emotions only appear like Kimberly feels nothing. Extreme emotions makes Kimberly look like he is about to cast a curse on someone or has severe constipation. Any positive emotions makes Kimberly present that infamous homicidal smile of his. Kimberly rarely gets angry, but once he is enraged, it is difficult to calm him down. If he ever hurts someone, Kimberly always ends up regretting what he had done, regardless of how justified it may have been.
Kimberly is honest, loyal, and values his friends and family more than anything in the world. He is usually cautious, but can be credulous when it comes to his friends and family: a trait he attained ever since Max believed Kimberly when no one else believed Kimberly's father was innocent of the murders.
While having a talent for sports, Kimberly is the most skilled as an artist. Influenced by his mother's side of the family, Kimberly loves nature and various realms of art. When there was still plenty of uncontaminated nature to spare, Kimberly would take walks or simply stare at the scenery as a pass time. Kimberly's current dream is to resurrect green parks so that his daughter and her children would be able to play in it like he did when he was younger.
Though Kimberly would claim that he is over the traumatic events of his childhood, ever since the suicide of his mother, Kimberly has been suffering from chronic hallucinatory psychosis. Symptoms include various sensory hallucinations, the most prominent symptom being auditory hallucinations, that can be either a harmless or terrifying experience for Kimberly. Kimberly is usually aware if what he experiences is a hallucination or not, but occasionally he cannot tell the difference between reality and imagination. Kimberly often hallucinates about a man named "Ghost", a cynical and sarcastic man who does not always share the same opinion as Kimberly.
Prelude to The Spirits Within: When Kimberly stared into the sky, it felt like nothing had changed. It was blue and it would change colors as time and seasons passed by. Sometimes it had clouds in it that would change not only in its color, but in its shape too. The sun, moon, and distant stars obliviously shined as beautifully as they always had. As long as Kimberly did not look away from the sky, Pandora was the same planet it was ten years ago. If only it were true.
Kimberly slowly inhaled the air, before closing his eyes, as if to prepare himself to come back to earth. Propelled by his exhaled breath, Kimberly's face faced forward. Wearily, his eyes opened to see the gray and barren planet Pandora had become. Although Kimberly had seen this scenery for at least three years, he still could not believe the world had changed so much. Where had all the green grass and trees gone to? Where were the colorful flowers that attracted the equally as colorful birds and insects? The crystal clear water had dried up and was replaced with some toxic concoction that poisoned all those that merely touched it; even Pandora. The only wild animal Kimberly had seen since the war were humans. The once vibrant world of color and life was now gray and lifeless.
Kimberly's gaze moved to the ground he stood on, where the dead plants he had just planted recently were just as gray and lifeless as the rest of the world. The giant man must have stared at the plant for a considerable amount of time, before a small little girl stood between Kimberly and the plants. With her arms spread out defensively and a particular shine in her eyes, Maxine glared at her father, "Cookie, stop doing that!"
Kimberly's eyebrow slightly lifted from its usual position. In a voice too quiet to barely hear, he asked "Do what?"
"That!" His daughter screamed as she pointed accusingly at his face. "Your face! Stop it! You're hurting the plants!"
My face is hurting the dead plants? Really? How is that even---…"Blame genetics, Max. I can't change my face."
Not with the technology we have anyways."Yeah you can! It's called a makeover!"
"You… want me to put on make up?"
With a sudden burst of laughter, Kimberly's grandfa---mother, Clair, placed her hand on the giant's arm. "
THAT, Nana would love to see."
Kimberly covered his eyes with his hand.
Then you better kiss your hard work good bye, because there is no way any living thing would survive that. "Plants would go extinct."
"Oh," Clair said before quickly glancing at the lifeless land around them. "So that's why this happened. It explains everything." Clair chuckled in response to Kimberly's sigh, before scrutinizing the dead plants. She tried to pick up the dried plant up in one piece, but ended up watching it turn into dust. "I suppose this means we'll have to try again."
Silently, Kimberly began to collect several samples of the dead plants and dirt. "It'll go better next time, Nana."
"I know, Wookiee." Clair smiled at her grandson as she took the samples he collected and placed it in another secure container. "It always has." She gave a friendly wink as a bonus. "Though you may need to seriously work on your facial expressions. You won't make any life form go extinct, but your daughter will nag you for the rest of your life if you don't work on it."
"Cookie! You're doing that thing again!" Maxine yelled in disbelief. Maxine turned to Clair as if requesting for some kind of assistance, "Nana! Cookie's doing that thing again! We need to give him a makeover. He needs one. Pleeeeaaaassse?"
"Nana, your great-granddaughter is doing that thing again. Make her stop. Please."
Shared Memory of Max: “The Adventures of Max and Friends: The Wookiee”
Wookiee
noun
1.) An omnivorous giant primate with long hair that lives deep in a forest close to a mountain or mountain range.
2.) Informal A person who is hairy or has long hair.
3.) Slang A term for environmentalists; an alternate name for tree hugger.
For about three months Helston had been experiencing multiple break-ins, vandalism, and theft. What little witness the town had to offer, claimed to have seen a hairy giant in lurking in the shadows. While the local police tried to find the culprit, the rumor that a wookiee, an endangered species, entered civilization attracted the attention of various people. After making a bold bet, that they would be the first to capture the wookiee (or the culprit), with another group of kids, Max and his friends began to make preparations. They researched about the creature and made elaborate traps to capture it. They had even made a wookie costume for Kimberly and [another one of Max's friends] to wear. The night they executed their plan, however, everything went wrong. None of the traps were really effective and, at one point, Kimberly and [Max's friend #2] were kidnapped by the hairy thing. Although the group managed to get their two friends back, they failed to capture the mysterious being. From that night on, however, Helston was free from the vandalism and theft. In the end, all Max and friends gained was a blurry picture of something hairy.
