Hair: Brown
Eyes: Blue
Height: 6'1"
Markings: Scar above left eyebrow
Overall Apperance: Kevin stands approximately six feet and one inch tall. He has a thinner frame, though he has enough muscles to not be classified as scrawny. He has brown, scruffy hair that he prefers to leave as it is, which is nothing but messy. He tends to stay very closely shaved as he finds facial hair too itchy. His eyes are a medium shade of blue that stand out against his very dark hair. His skin is not a pasty white, but he is by no means dark either. So while he may not be dark, he is rather tall and handsome, if you’re into the angular features and not hulk sized frame.
His style consists of nothing too exciting. He is either found in a sweater and jeans, a t-shirt and jeans, or a dress shirt and jeans. He doesn’t wear shorts very often, but if it gets hot enough, he won’t object to them.

Fears: Tornadoes

Secrets: He is a secret romantic
Personality: Kevin is a very witty guy. He has a strong sense of humor, but he is also very sarcastic, which can get him into trouble. He is a goofball in a very unconventional way. He is outgoing, but hard to crack. He doesn’t trust people right off the bat, but after a while, he’ll warm up. He’s not mean, per say. But his sarcasm can sting if you catch him at the wrong time. He does have a temper, but it doesn’t come out very often. He is generally level headed and logical rather than acting off of emotions.
Some people consider Kevin to be cynical, though he thinks he is realistic. The subject is up for debate, but he is so stubborn that he won’t accept that he could be cynical. He is a black and white thinker and doesn’t like things having any “gray area.”
But don’t let his cynical outlook fool you. He is a total sweetheart once you figure him out. He is afraid of commitment, but if he were to find a girl he could commit to, he’d treat her better than any girl has ever been treated. But, that’s a long shot.

History: Kevin was born in Telluride, Colorado at 8:54 P.M. It is a very small town, so he grew up on his father’s farm. They raised livestock, mostly, but also bred a few horses. His father had come from a family of horse breeders, but feared that there wasn’t enough money in the horse industry. His mother had been a stripper, but eventually got a job on his father’s farm in exchange for a bit of money and board in the barn loft. Both his mother and father are bitter people due to rough pasts. Kevin grew up learning to be cautious of other people and to never expect too much. He often escaped to the pasture as a small child, riding the small Shetland pony his mother bought for him. He took more falls off that pony than any other horse he’s ridden to this day.
At age seven, he began taking his new Welsh pony over the jumps he’d always watched his father go over. It fascinated him. But when he outgrew the Welsh pony, he father handed down one of his Oldenburgs that he had bred on the farm from his two best horses. Kevin was thrilled, though the colt at the time was only a two year old, and Kevin was eleven years old. But that left room for him to bond with the young horse. At age three, Kevin began riding the gelding after much work. The horse was spirited, but they worked well together. A few months before Kevin was sent to Blue Ridge Academy, he took a nasty fall while going over a jump. It resulted in a broken rib and the now scar on his eyebrow. It shook him and left him afraid to jump. He is still nervous to this day, but he is transitioning back into jumping slowly. He and his gelding had been jumping three foot fences before the fall, and he was on his way to moving the height up again. His father, not willing to let any son of his be afraid of riding or anything else, is sending him off to Blue Ridge to get him back into riding. He figures Kevin won’t let others know he is afraid, so he will have no choice but to jump when he arrives.
