Kal Sharma

Kal Sharma

**Kalpen 'Kal' Sharma** is one of the main characters in The Unlisted. He is the twin brother of Drupad “Dru” Sharma, who are both the age of 15-years-old. After taking his brother’s place in a 'dental appointment' at school, and getting two implants, he and Dru discover a deadly secret about the Global Child Initiative and have to work together to take them down before all is lost. He is portrayed by Ved Rao.

## Appearance

Kal has brown skin, black hair, and brown eyes like his twin. When he gets controlled by the Initiative, his eyes will turn ice blue. He is the identical twin of Dru, and the only distinguishing factor about them is that Dru wears black rimmed glasses. He is usually found wearing his school uniform, though he wears non-school clothing (t-shirt, jeans, hoodie, etc.) at times. Kal has an athletic build, is a few inches taller, and has a bit deeper voice then his twin brother Dru.

## Personality

Though Kal may not be as intelligent as Dru, he is very athletic and strategic. Kal is also shown to be extremely brave and loyal. However, after Kal gets implanted, his personality slowly begins to change as he starts to become manipulated by Infinity Group and Regan, losing his emotions for people. Kal starts to show careless behavior towards Dru and the Unlisted, getting used to the power and privilege of becoming an Elite at his school.

Kal is very insecure about Dru, and believed everyone including their Dadi saw Dru to be the better and more loved twin. This causes jealousy and is one of the reasons Kal is so easily manipulated by Regan at first. Though he may have been manipulated by Regan into liking Infinity Group, when he is captured by them and questioned about where Dru is, Kal stands loyal to his brother and refuses to comply. This causes immense pain on his part at the hand of Infinity Group, because he starts refusing to cooperate with his implant. However, the implant does win out and Kal is forced to be controlled by Infinity Group. Under the influence of the implant, Kal behaves like a robot, emotionless and mindless, who's only mission is to capture his twin brother. Although Kal despite all his flaws, in the end did the right thing and helped Dru and the Unlisted eliminate the Global Child Initiative and Infinity Group once and for all.

## Talents and Abilities

* Because Kal got two implants, he gained double the ability then his classmates.
* Under the influence of the implant, Kal has got super-strength and is shown to be able to lift a car, being able to break a jar of ghee with no effort, and crushing rocks into a fine powder without blinking an eye.
* He could run and bike at incredible speeds.

When Kal goes into the tunnel whoever, he can lose the implant-abilities momentarily. This is speculated to happen due to being out of range from the Infinity Group/Global Child Initiative. Consequently, when out of range the implant has no effect, and all his enhanced physical abilities return to how they were pre-implant.
