Eyes: Hazel Brown
Personality: At first appearances, Kyle appears very open, talkative and a comedian. However beneath the surface, he can be moody and erratic. This he manages to never show however as he has good control over his emotions. He always remembers that his beast is lurking below. History: Born in England in 1981, he grew up in a harsh neighborhood. In 1990 Kyle's father died in a car accident in which he was also involved, only just surviving himself. A year later he and his mother moved to China because of her new job and her own desire to gain a new start. At first Kyle was unable to mix in with the other children because of the language barrier; this made his time of school a problem. Eventually Kyle was able to pick up the language and learn at first only bits but eventually becoming fluent. Learning another language was a first for him. His upbringing became worst when his mother met another man, someone who was young only 12 years older than he. Suffering and needing an outlet, he became angrier and resentful. At the age of 18, he began to explore what life had to offer him, becoming more interested with history and China's culture. But with another promotion, he and his mother with her now new husband moved again, relocating to Japan where his stepfather’s business seemed to flourish. His mother became a joint business partner. Kyle's behavior became more erratic as his mother's new work drove her away from home. Feeling lonely, he branched out, getting in with the wrong crowd, a local gang, thus meeting another lost soul called Harri. It is here he began to learn to fight and joined the Martial arts school called The Dragon's Claw. Both he and Harri excelled at the arts, each taking two different types of Martial arts. After a fight outside a local nightclub, provoked by a drunken member, he defended Harri breaking the rival's nose. With blood on his hands he and his friend left, taking a trip home through a local locked park. As the night crept away, Kyle and his friend walked in the black, unaware of the danger they were in. As Kyle tells the story, it was he who was taken first. As claws, or what he though were claws, gripped into his right shoulder, he was tossed aside, being thrown a small distance. Losing blood, he watched helplessly as an oversized cat attacked his friend, ripping out his throat. Going into shock, he fell out cold. Kyle later awoke to find himself resting in a nearby hospital, surrounded by his family. Drifting in and out of sleep, he witnessed seeing his mother fell apart over his injuries. As the days progressed, he was quizzed by the police over and over about the incident which left his friend dead, as there was no sign of the predator. The only evidence to support the case were recorded; his bite wound and his friend’s body. After receiving a clean bill of health earlier than expected, he left the hospital to make amends with his mother, finding out that she was pregnant with his sibling. It is then when he started to notice his senses increase as well as his temperature. On the night before the full moon he felt it, the beast lurking below his skin, it almost crying for freedom. His first transformation was and still is pain for him to remember with him only gradually gaining his memories from it. After the ordeal he awoke naked and covered in blood. Scared, he even waited until dark then made his way home. Only days after this happened, he was approached by a local person with very blue eyes. He was told of what he had become and also told that he would never fit into the amuk due to their prejudice against non born tigers. The man informed Kyle that being given tiger lycanthropy is seen as a reward for a job well done. That they think it's a sin to give it to someone you don't value. From this he learned that he was chosen as a sacrifice to keep his gang alive, like you would pay a mafia boss to allow your work to continue. He survived an attack meant to kill him because the tiger was too interested in his friend. Though he is still unclear how he was saved, he waits for the day that knowledge is his. Feeling like he was betrayed by the gang, he decided to leave Tokyo and head to Germany to stop with his auntie, his father’s sister. After making amends with his mother and to leave her safe, him fearing what could happen to his unborn sibling, he departed Japan and headed to Germany, where he met his new family. Then by chance on the night before a full moon in April, months after his arrival, he was found by a vampire called Valan. Feeling lost, he looked to the vampire for help. Feeling a connection, Valan helped him, feeling more power grow inside him. Together he and Valan realised that they had become, a Master and an Animal to call. After been trained by him, they decided to travel to America and picked New Orleans due to the Master of the city being friendly with Alexis the Master of Berlin. In January 2005, Kyle decided to try his luck with the remaining Tigers. Realising how fragile they were, he chose to leave them with the leopards until he was able to find a place of his own or build another Amuk. When Royo ran away due to the death of Jack, he and Maggie tried to find her but didn't succeed; this eventually drew Maggie and Kyle together; they both decided to start a relationship. With their relationship, he was able to become closer to the shifter community, something which Valan approved of. Though caring for Valan because of their bond, Kyle still preferred to keep Maggie away from him In May 2005, upset and scared, Maggie told Kyle that she was pregnant. Surprised and after a few more tears, they both became overjoyed at the idea of being parents. Kyle, having already learnt that Tigers could take their partner’s beasts, told Maggie that the child had a chance of being born. But their happiness was short lived. Royo reappeared on the scene and Maggie grew distressed at Royo’s condition. Not being able to help the beta, she fell into a deep depression which took its toll on the baby. They lost it. After Maggie pulled away from Kyle, her increasing depression felt by her loss, Kyle tried to be strong but by choice they separated. Maggie wanted to start afresh in another city away from New Orleans, a place which he couldn't follow.But on August 29th, Hurricane Katrina hit, delaying everything. Together they helped as much as they could. But in January 2006 Maggie left, leaving Kyle with a recovering Royo. Kyle felt himself fall into a depression, having lost all he built in New Orleans; again he turned back to Valan his Master. Shortly after Kyle joined back with Valan, he found out that his Master was onto a lead about the lycanthrope murders. Eager to help, Kyle lent his own services. tTus with Valan, he was able to find the killer, which they turned over to Saelan who quickly dispatched Mathias. After Kyle's life began to settle down again. Strengths: His skills at fighting. He is skilled in Karate, Judo and also has become a good street fighter by mixing the two styles. His other strengths rest on his own belief that there is nothing that he cannot achieve, if he puts his mind to it. Kyle's martial arts training in his early life proves to only enhance his physical skills with the extra senses that the beast inside provides. He knows four languages; English, German, Chinese and Japanese. His abilities include being able to sense the power level of lycanthropes around him, hiding his power from others and self control. Weaknesses: Kyle's stress sometimes gets the better of him. The attack that turned him and the reasons behind it still plagues on his mind sometimes, allowing his high self control to relapse and allow his beast to surface. Normal Lycanthrope weaknesses Quirks: He is teetotal. Other: Kyle has a collection of Samurai swords.
