Lucid Kale

[zeefie]

About My Character:

Full Name: Matthew Lucien Kale

Nickname: Lucid

Age: 16 born on September 4th, 1996

Gender: Male

Grade: Senior

Sports/Clubs: Track & Field, Debate

Appearance: Matthew, who goes by Lucid most of the time, has ash brown hair that comes to his jaw. It is shaved on the sides and is relatively wavy but he generally straightens and cures his lengthy section. He has a pouting face with oval blue eyes. They aren't brilliant blue, more of a grey or foggy one. He has broad shoulders and a skinny build with several body modifications that he'd gotten in the past year. He is about six feet tall with an average weight and slightly off-putting gait. He walks without raising his feet an inch off of the ground so it appears that he is shuffling along frequently. He generally wears loose fitting clothing and a skater-punk style.

Personality: Lucid is a very boisterous person, but his voice is so mellow that you'd probably think otherwise. He's a trouble maker and a party starter. With no inhibitions he gets into a lot of trouble, and with his lack of self-preservation he also has a knack for getting physically hurt. He loves learning through experience and has a rather well tuned mind and a great vocabulary. His well spoken attributes makes him an interesting debate member, and a very unique friend. He can be callous and sometimes passive-aggressive in attempts to avoid conflict. He is deeply afraid of losing affection from people and having unrequited emotions.

Background: Matthew Kale was born to a surrogate birth and two mothers. Yes, he is of a LGBT family and this has brought enough prejudice in his life. Though he was brought up with love and understanding, a lot of the world had found his living situation repulsive. In a sort of rebellion, Matthew found himself in loads of negative activity and an undermining of his natural abilities. His mothers Jane and Yasmine Kale had always been supportive, but eventually they felt they'd lost control. As his grades slipped in middle school, and his bullying continued, his parents felt it best that he was sent to Somerset High. The school seemed accommodating and gave his parents a way to love their son from a distance. Matthew was always easy to nurture, he was never the type to crave attention nor abhor it. Somehow he tended to find himself in the center of conflicts and jealous disputes, but never was the instigator and was usually the bystander. His mother Yasmine is a Serbian woman with a high level education and a sort of condescending nature. Matthew learned from her to appreciate his life and everything that he was blessed to have. His mother Jane was always a firm believer in the good of people, no matter how roughly she'd been treated in the past. Though he was brought up with good moral values and a firm sense of optimism, he still has a nagging bit of cynicism that he can't seem to rid himself of. He's definitely not a pessimist, but he definitely does not see the good in current social/political situations. However, he does see the possibility for change. Because of his parents' different lifestyle, his family is rather small out of choice.

Other: Matthew is sensitive about LGBT issues, naturally, but feels strangely about being in a group for it. Perhaps his own sexuality (being straight) often gets questioned. He has been known to get physical when people are intolerant to his situation. He is intolerant of intolerance. Also, he is a year ahead in school due to his honors programs in middle school.

Hello, Zee!

Thank you for submitting your application to Somerset High School. After reviewing your submission, we're please to accept you!
Since your character doesn't go by Matthew, be sure to change the title to Lucid so other writers don't get it wrong.

Go ahead and start putting up pictures, making his room, twitter account, interacting with other characters... welcome to the family!

Stay awesome

They should totally start a band. I mean I don't know what Zelda would play, but she can obviously learn... Or be a singer Idk. But um for relations this probably is gonna suck but bear with me.


Zelda&Lucid: They had a class together once, and didn't really know each other for the most part, except for maybe the one time she asked him to barrow a pencil or something. Knowing Zelda thought that wasn't bound to last long. She however did know he was on the debate team, because she secretly wants to join, but can't let herself do it. So anyway, one day they were having a class discussion, and she called him out on not having anything to say, (Just kill me for assuming things) but since he hates conflict I can't see him saying anything back. (Assuming is bad I know)

So. For a while nothing was said between them, but this teacher was one of those teachers, who liked to pair up kids who hate each other on class projects. So he ended up pairing them up, although the outcome was unexpected, and they actually ended up getting along better then they did before, they noted that both had a thing for classic rock, and became pretty good friends out of the whole thing.

+/-/Add? /Throw me off a cliff because that was horrible.

I like the idea that Zelda was mad at him for not having anything to say. Perhaps he was bored with the debate and decided not to say anything. Maybe when they started the project, Lucid was listening to music and happened to fall upon a Floyd song and so Zelda /had/ to say something. Maybe it was her favorite album or some such thing. They really got talking and got an A on their project. It would've been an elective class probably unless Zelda's advanced in a specific class. Though they're the same age, Lucid had a jump start in school. Maybe Zelda calls him Matthew just to piss him off sometimes.

Either way, they could be music tards together.

I can see Carol and Lucid being friends.
Their personalities are somewhat similar, so think they would wind up in the same group of friends, and at the same parties. They're not besties but they definitely know each other.

Mostly doing this so the Brielle/Lucid relation works XD

[Harriet Loveguard]

Hot damn Harriet would be all over that if he was still an active character oh my god.

The two could meet during the track season, maybe they were both trying to pass the other during a practice timed-mile, which Harriet would feel called for a "good-game" type of conversation afterwards. she'd be instantly attracted because, let's be honest, Lucid is a babe.
Being that he is considered a trouble maker and a party starter, he definitely fits perfectly into Harriet's idea of a good time, and possibly a reason they talk is because of parties or shared ideas of mischief. The only thing she was taken back by is the fact that he is just 16, and more often than not, Harriet is not attracted to younger men. And there is also the fact that Harriet might be too outward for his taste, seeing as though she is usually loud or outgoing, and Lucid seems much more laid back.
Was that a horrid, mess relationship?
