Personal Info!
Personality: Shy and reserved, despite his apparent skill and history; Kyle prefers peace and quiet to loud romps and chatting among small groups of friends to large parties, to give some example. Speaks his mind, but is inoffensive to the core of his being in most situations. Often at a loss for words and can come off as a bit awkward at times.
Past: Kyle is a reserved and quiet aisha soldier living nearby Neopia Central as a waiter while he is off-duty. He works for a nebulous military body called ‘NeoForce’, apparently some branch of the Virtupets forces drawn from pets living on the planet proper dedicated to moving against Dr. Sloth’s holdouts wherever they come across them. It’s been several years now since Sloth’s imprisonment, and occurrences relating to Sloth's forces are gradually fading into nothing as the last holdouts disappear. As a result, Kyle spends more and more time living idly on Neopia and is not quite sure what to think of it.
Kyle was born to a carefree life in the more isolated reaches of Mystery Island. A peaceful land, very few destructive plots had taken place there in recent times. As such, the native islanders did what Neopets often did in peacetime—they partied and just generally had fun. No one was necessarily ignorant to the goings on outside of their island or to how turbulent Neopia’s world tended to be, but they simply wanted little part in the trouble.
Kyle himself was a bit sheltered because of this, but he wasn’t blind to the rest of the world himself. On quiet nights or mornings after the village’s romp around the beaches, he’d bury himself in history books and anything else he could find that told him of the outside world. Everything about it fascinated him and he quietly hoped to see the world when he got older. Now the problem would often come up of what he would do for money once he left, but was quickly resolved. Whatever machinery he could get his hands on in the rural village he always worked well with. Neopian technology is usually such a finicky thing, but not for him! He began saving up for his trip when he was young, fixing every scrap of broken technology he could find as a business, and looked on in anticipation of his future.
Time passed. Kyle was nearly of age, and he had nearly saved enough points to set off from his home—a little too late. Truthfully, he had begun slowly tiring of the constant partying…after years and years of it, it was becoming wearying. Unfortunately, it wouldn't exactly end how he would have wanted it to.
Kyle was set to leave Mystery Island in the summer of Y10. A few days before he was to leave, Dr. Sloth made his return up in space. While most of his armies were up around the Virtupets station and Kreludor, they also had some scouts on the ground preparing space for the doctor’s bases of invasion. In the case of Mystery Island, that area was Kyle’s home village. It wasn’t listed on any maps, and Sloth’s scouts thought the area to be deserted until they came across the pathetic little village in the way of their landing gear. Finding their proposed landing spot occupied and without any time to change their plans, the course of action was obvious: make some room.
The villagers were defenseless. The last thing that Kyle remembered was waking up in a pile of rubble as the Garoo were being shooed away by some soldiers—whom had come way too late to be of any actual help. By the time they had arrived, the hamlet was demolished, and all that remained were the smoldering piles of palm that used to be his home. This naturally devastated him. His family was nowhere to be found, and the few whom were left had gone after the attack. There wasn't very much of a village to rebuild.
The soldiers who came to their aid offered him a home if he entered into service with them. With nowhere else to go, he took them up on their offer. He was devastated by what had happened to him, and to all of his family and friends. This 'Sloth' was even more terrible than anyone remembered from the first time he'd come. He couldn't let that happen to anyone else!
It was around this time that Kyle lost his Island coloring. Upon being brought into the mysterious organization, which he found was called 'NeoForce', he was forced to paint himself Blue as flashier colors would attract attention and break his uniformity. It was an unusual case; pets that entered the NF seemed to be generally of plain colors to begin with. It was painful to let go of what he felt was a part of his identity as a Mystery Island native, but if it was something he had to do, then he would do it.
Initially, Kyle went into this fight with revenge on his mind as well as his more ‘noble’ goal of not wanting to have his fate happen to anyone else. As time went on and the fighting began to gradually die down, he figured that revenge this was not a healthy mindset to have, but it had already taken its effect on him. He’d gone from consistently happy to consistently angry, and he gravely disliked that once he realized it. He would calm himself down over time, but this and his lack of more normal social interaction brought on by the constant fighting had worn on him, and he exchanged his open anger with a reserved, awkward shyness. With Neopia’s villains becoming bolder and eviler as well and NeoForce being put against them in the shadows, this mix would have an amount of fear added to it.
Eventually Kyle was allowed to go completely off duty for the first time in years as the last of the known major Sloth holdouts had been rooted out. He gave some thought to going back to Mystery Island, but decided against it as it reminded him too much of what he had lost. He had had enough of space for a while as well…where was the only place that he could live with a comfortably high level of technology and feel at home without actually going home or staying in the space station? Neopia Central seemed to have the best of both worlds, where he put his experience and restlessness as a soldier into work for the NeoPolice.
The time he spent in the Neo P.D. was a number of adventures all their own, but unfortunately for him, the lingering will of Sloth and his agents continued to harass him. Kyle managed to make a small name for himself as he proved a capable officer, but those newspaper headings were all that any vigilant-enough assassin needed to find him. During the high point in his career, a number of hitmen from a few Sloth loyalists had been attacking various NeoForce members infrequently even after the war was over. He was found and attacked several times, during which a number of other police were hurt. Because of this, he was let go from the Neopian Central PD and reassigned to somewhere further out into the countryside between it and Meridell's border.
Plus:
+Despite his rural upbringing, Kyle is very adept with any sort of extra-Neopian technology thanks to his time with NeoForce
+Kyle is actually more comfortable in dangerous situations than calm ones even if he prefers the latter, and gains a huge boost in confidence and competence when in one
Minus:
-Very inept when it comes to Magic, a bit of a sore point for him as Aisha are generally very savvy with it
-Very klutzy when not 'in the zone' and somewhat floaty, often caught with his head in the clouds
-Avoidant of issues that he doesn't have an answer to or that stress him out**
-Openly nervous about topics relating to Mystery Island or the Rainbow Pool
-Kyle's fighting against a number of shadowy enemies has made him a small bit paranoid, though he'll deny it
Extra:
-Kyle is left-handed
-Keeps a Titanic Giant Squid as a sort of petpet nearby his home, because he's not paranoid.
*The NeoForce will be an organization created with Dewdrop shortly.
**...that do not involve violence or survival.
