Kian Boyd

**Kian** is man.

## Appearance & Personality

### Appearance

Kian is a man for REAL. He stands at 6'2 and loves being tall, and honestly, sometimes he wishes he was taller. Though, because of his height and his complete lack of physical activity, he's pretty scrawny and a little dead-looking. He regularly has bags under his eyes and greasy hair, but not in a completely gross way, just in a 'man who doesn't take care of himself' way. His hair is blonde and usually styled with a generic middle part and some layers making it look more 'fluffy', but his hair gets greasy so easily that often it just falls flat. His eyes are dark brown- this too, he wishes he could change, just because he thinks it would be really cool to have purple eyes or something. Kian is usually seen in generic graphic tees, sweaters, and jeans. He always wears a black moon necklace which his sister made for him when she was like 12. He also has a septum piercing, but only sometimes because he takes it out when he's bored and forgets to put it back in.
### Personality

Kian is awesome! He's a very chill dude who naturally gets along with everyone. He enjoys meeting new people and loves making new friends. This is partially attributed to the crazy amount of weed he smokes, but he's actually totally normal about it. He loves sharing with others and isn't weird and gatekeep-y, or judgmental when someone doesn't know some obscure slang term for a joint. He is cool. Despite his natural ability to get along with people, Kian is notoriously bad at public speaking. In any situation where he has to impress others, bro gets so cripplingly nervous that he ALWAYS fumbles the bag. His hands get sweaty, he avoids eye contact like the plague... he just gets incredibly flustered.
Just a nice happy guy. Except for when he isn't happy, which is not very often- or, at least he tries to keep it that way. Because he is both a man raised with toxic masculinity *and* a middle child, he does NOT know how to deal with his emotions. He bottles bad feelings up like nobody's business and uses other vices- weed, mainly- to cope. But, when things get really bad for him he relies on harder substances to deal. This is an incredibly problematic means of coping, but Kian finds that if he floats through everything, he never really has to deal with his problems. He doesn't have to rise to any occasion or take any responsibility for his mistakes- especially given his friend group.
## Relations

* Family
* Other

* Kian has a very neutral relationship with his father. As a kid, they were much closer, but as Kian grew and his mother became worse, there was a definite distance put between them. Kian expected things to get better once the family moved to Wadeport, but the distance never went away and the two never really mended their relationship. He just kind of accepts this is their reality now.

* He spent a lot of time grieving who his mother was and being angry at what she became. He blamed a lot of people- mainly himself, of course- but now he kind of understands her. Thanks to his developing substance problem, he's beginning to understand his mother's reasons for acting the way she did and has genuinely forgiven her for a lot of it. He still texts her and calls her often. bro misses his mom

* Kian loves Neil. He's glad they've become better friends are they grew up, and feels really lucky that he and his brother get along so well! He actually enjoys the Dunkleverse he's created and has read the whole, extensive history. classic good brother relationship :)

* Kian really cares for Kyra but as a man with issues, he has trouble expressing that in a healthy way. Because he already has trouble expressing care and love in a normal way, he has trouble relating to her or talking about literally anything with her. He tries really hard to be there for her, even when he doesn't know what to say. He wishes they were closer.

* He has very few feelings on this one. He's glad she introduced him to the car guys and the rest of the popular group. Besides that, Kian doesn't know why he dated her and doesn't remember why they broke up.

* Kian thinks these guys are total trips and doesn't perceive them as real people.

* do these exist? Kian enjoys being friends with these guys. He doesn't have a genuine connection with any of them but enjoys their parties and overall Guy Bro energy. He goes skiing with them and does their drugs for free so he's a fan.

* Kian considers Alto a good friend. He really enjoys their fishing trips and hopes they'll go on another one soon. He's invited her to quite a few of the car guys' parties, but it seems that she never comes (she is busy talking to hot drunk girls).

* This guy LOVES Sai. He knows he can come off abrasive and disinterested, but somehow Kian has actually connected with him enough to call him a friend. He likes skateboarding with him and also smoking weed. He wishes they were closer.
