Kai Avalon

Kai Avalon is an extremely studious and well educated man in most fields of study. He has a bit of a superiority complex, believing his intellect makes him better than most people around him. This sense of superiority often comes out in the form of sarcastic jabs and witty quips, or even just an annoyed sigh or two. While he may act like he only cares about himself, which may be true on some level, but in actuality he does deeply care about people, though he would not admit it out right.

Kai has the appearance of a doberman pinscher, though not exactly the same breed as the real life equivalent. Perhaps his most notable feature is his striking heterochromia, both eyes being an unnatural, almost supernatural looking color.

Biography
After his mother’s first husband died in a tragic boating accident, she met Kai’s father around 5 years later, remarried, and had Kai. Kai’s father is extremely self-serious and placed high value in knowledge, thus he projected these values onto both of his sons from the moment they were old enough to start schooling. Kai was the only one of the two that took well to this. He had a natural affinity for knowledge ever since he could remember. His brother, on the other hand, never took much interest in these things. Though they got along well growing up together, there was a palpable tension that began growing between them due to their father's influenced, which only got worse the older the two became.

Kai’s brother grew up being treated as a golden child, even though he wasn't the greatest at academics, he excelled socially. While their father always put pressure on him, he never seemed to have trouble making friendships, a trait he got from his birth father. Kai was much more reserved and shy, choosing to spend most of his time indoors and curled up with a book. Jay would often drag him along with him on his adventures, which Kai didn't mind most times. Though, as time went on, Kai grew to resent his older brother. Jay thrived in life with seemingly not much effort, and people loved him unconditionally, while he always had to work twice as hard for that kind of attention, from his father, and from other kids his age. The other kids always seemed to avoid him, giving him mocking side glances, or obviously whispering behind his back. His mother had always tried to reassure him that he was perfect how he was, but there was always an itch at the back of his mind, telling him that there was something wrong with him on a fundemental level. He always felt inadequate compared to Jay. Now, in their adult lives, Jay is seen as a hero privateer, people almost worship the ground he walks on, something which Kai could never understand, though he envied it all the same. Over time he grew obsessed with the pursuit of knowledge to cope with the feelings of inadequacy. The resentment fuels his drive to be the very best he can be, and prove he can be just as great as Jay, if not more so. Mostly to himself, though he doesn't consciously realize that.
