KOEN
[secret santa]




Name ♡♡ Koen Reed Elway-Kipps
nicknames ♡♡Ko
D.O.B. ♡♡ September 3rd
zodiac ♡♡ Virgo​
Age ♡♡ 31
Gender ♡♡ AMAB | cisgendered male
pronouns ♡♡he/him
Sexuality ♡♡ bisexual + demiromantic

Height ♡♡ 5'10"
Eyes ♡♡ Heterochromia. Left eye is dark brown while the right is a brighter blue.
Hair ♡♡ Shaggy, long and curly brown hair, length is just above the shoulders
Skin & Body ♡♡ Pale, ivory skin with sharp, angular features and beauty marks marking his shoulders and down their back. Is not very built; seen as 'scrawny' and thin, but is just lightly toned.
➵ Scars may include:
--a large, old patchy looking scar on his right shoulder.
--a jagged scar down their back and across one of their shoulder blades.
--several white jagged, in lightening strike fashion, markings on the left side of his chest over his heart. These spider outwards and look as if they're trying to reach other parts of his body. (Is very self conscious and embarrassed by these so he likes to stay covered up as much as possible)​
➵ Has a right nostril piercings and several cartilage piercings in both ears.
➵ Wears a lot of rings, necklaces, darker colors, a lot of chains, and the occasional comfy sweater. Has a very 'alternative' style of dressing, or a 'Midwestern emo' fashion style.​

Personality ♡♡ Koen can be and is a very fickle person.

He has mostly been noted as a closed off, very aloof, and an untrusting person. Always easily irritated by the smallest things and would more than likely prefer to sit in a dark, quiet room with little interruptions over being out and about to mingle with people. He's heavily emotionally constipated and hard headed, having the worst time to actually try explain any of his wants and needs. Koen would actually much rather be completely emotionless if he really could, though upon breaking through this very thick shell that has built up over his childhood, it can be seen that he has one too many things he feels for. He worries about the littlest things and can be a very protective.

While he may not be good at showing any of these emotions, especially at first, sometimes it'll be shown through little acts of service or gift giving while saying "This reminded me of you". Koen is someone who tends be very secretive, but also doubles as some big softie when it comes to someone he really likes. He'll attach himself to them like some little leech and care for them immensely, but the moment there's some little bump or hiccup, he will overthink and over analyze any situation.

Aesthetics ♡♡ dark academia, dark browns and greens, bones, books, storms, hazy/foggy woods, lightening, herbs, smoke, crystals, witchy shit
Headcanons/Trivia ♡♡
➵ Enjoys painting his nails.
➵ Talents include: playing the guitar and writing music, singing, photography
➵ Enjoys hikes and nature walks a lot, will probably never say no.
➵ Always likes to smell nice. Normally smells like burnt incense, a mixture of patchouli and sage
➵ Refuses to learn to drive. Cars give him anxiety and he's certain they are death traps
➵ Has a pet red fox he's raised from a cub named Fritz. The fox goes wherever he goes.
➵ Has electrokinesis of sorts
--Electricity courses through his veins. Struck with deep emotions, mostly rooted to deep fear or anger, Koen will tend to black out as the energy takes over his body. Static-like energy with the color of stormy blue surrounds his hands. He can lift a hand at someone and essentially shoot lightning bolts from his hand(s) and when it hits a target, the bolt strikes and leaves behind a smoking, charred injury.
When struck by the energy, it enters the body and the after effects are very similar to a person who actually has been struck by lightning from a storm. The effects may include, but are not limited to: muscle pains, broken bones, cardiac arrest, confusion, hearing loss, seizures, burns, behavioral changes, ocular cataracts, and a loss of consciousness, which is a very common immediately after a strike. Though, with the use of his power each time becomes more dangerous.
Each time it's used, lines, like strikes, appear on his skin and spider out from his chest over his heart.
--Some parts of this power is not harmful. Koen can create small balls of electricity/energy that may light darkened paths.
He may also manipulate the electricity of equipment that requires electricity(obviously) and can normally short them out.
--With his powers more active, more so when he was much younger, occasionally he will accidentally shock someone (normally accidentally). These shocks are harmless and more or less only happen now when he gets spooked.​
➵ A vegetarian, but hella fucking picky, borders on being vegan
➵ Curses every other sentence
➵ Koen has really neat handwriting normally, like curly letters, half cursive almost, very 'feminine' handwriting. But when he's more in a rush, his handwriting is super messy, barely readable but he somehow always knows what it says.
➵ He's ambidextrous!
➵ Reads so much.

ARLO



Name ♡♡ Arlo-Jett Keir Evans
nicknames ♡♡ Arlo, Ari, AJ
D.O.B. ♡♡ July 6th
zodiac ♡♡ Cancer​
Age ♡♡ 33
Gender ♡♡ AMAB | cisgender male
pronouns ♡♡he/him
Sexuality ♡♡ Demisexual + Panromantic

Appearance ♡♡ [ x ]
Height ♡♡ 5'9"
Eyes ♡♡ Soft grey/blue
Hair ♡♡ Dark brown, shaggy/messy cropped
Skin + Body ♡♡ Pale ivory skin w/ freckles + Lightly tone and thin

Personality ♡♡ If you ask his family, Arlo has always been a really quiet person, even before he (forcibly) moved away from home with his current partner / soulmate. They'll always say he's a sweetheart and a kind and emotional soul who will, quite literally, drop everything and help someone else before helping himself. For the most part, it's still true, especially when he isn't with Greer. He appears to be a more functioning person of society when alone, all smiles and laughter.

When he's out with said partner, Arlo is far more quiet and withdrawn from the current scenery in front of him. When spoken to her always looks to Greer as if waiting for a green light to speak; he even tends to stick close to the man's side fearing that if he strays too far then Greer will come up with some nasty accusation that somehow manages to get Arlo in far more trouble than it should.
Likes ♡♡ Blue raspberry flavored candies | Candles | Smoothies | The smell of the beach | Painting | Drawing | Swimming | Animals | RomComs
Dislikes ♡♡ Spicy food | Coffee | Being alone for long periods of time | Bridges | Horror movies | Gore | The cold | Parties/Large gatherings
Fears ♡♡ Heights, Greer Evans

Aesthetics ♡♡ The ocean, the beach, sea shells, sea glass, blues, paints, museums
Headcanons/Trivia ♡♡
➵ His soulmark consists of two black snskes intertwining themselves up along his left side.
➵ Arlo's soulmate is a man named Greer Evans. Greer is a tall, dark haired, broad-shouldered man who spends the day and late nights 'at work'. He's famous for: gaslighting Arlo, having so much of a temper that he yells and throws things, and laying his hands on Arlo on multiple occasions, controls what Arlo is doing at almost every point in the day. Greer has also forced himself onto Arlo more than once before.
➵ Hasn't worked since he was 25 because Greer claimed he didn't need to.
➵ Arlo spends a majority of the day stuck inside because he always feels too nervous to leave by himself, so he sits and paints or draws all day.
➵ Was born on the West Coast, in California, and lived there his whole life until he was 23, three years after meeting Greer and they moved across the country for Greer's work.
➵ Would really like a pet, a dog or a cat, but hasn't been allowed to because of 'rules'.
➵ Very occasionally has he snapped back at Greer. When he has, it wasn't very pretty.
➵ Arlo's love language is, oddly, physical touch.
➵ Regularly has a clean, almost citrus-y scent to him.
➵ Long, pretty eyelashes.
➵ Wears a lot of long sleeves and sweaters with ripped jeans.
