He will go well out of his way to be considerate of others, and does not expect this in return, as his feelings are not easily hurt. Let it be known that Kim can make friends just about anywhere. Sadly enough, it is hard to take note of this abundant compassion at first because he tends to smirk, stare, and pause a great deal<del>far too often</del>during conversations; It tends to either unnerve or annoy people because it marks him as a facetious troll, which of course is not at all the case. These habits likely formed during his early childhood and early teens, as Kimone was forced to learn three new languages on the fly and so processes everything he sees and hears for later reference. It could be said that Kimone is a smart lad, but that would be an understatement.<br/><br/>Brilliant as he is, he's very curious and is both exceedingly friendly and socially awkward, and does pry when given the opportunity... beware the blunt inquiries, as there are VERY few things in this world that could ever hope to make him blush. He fails to 'read the room', so the saying goes, when it would be best to do so. Kimone means well, though, and is surprisingly silly, intellectual jargon be damned. His sense of humor can get a bit dark and can be on the perverse side when he sees an opening for such comedy, which usually surprises people because he does not otherwise convey any sexual interest and often comes across as fairly innocent. Rest assured, Kimone is just as corrupted as any other growing boy,<del>the sick bastard</del>, and does enjoy a good tease when he can find the right victim for it, be it platonic or romantic in nature. Kimone is one of those rare few who can deadpan anything and make it sound entirely true. He tends to go with the flow, and has found himself to be far less stressed and much happier for it. If asked, he will recommend the same perspective to others and follow up with positive advice and uplifting compliments as the motivational speaker of the century.<br/><br/>He is gentle with everyone and everything, as tact and diplomacy are easily some of his best qualities. He is opinionated when certain topics arise, though, and can be stubborn if asked to do or try something he knows he hates.<em>Good luck getting him to drink soda.</em><br/><br/><strong>Family</strong>:<br/><strong>Ki-moon Koh (Father), 57. Half-blood.</strong>-<strong> Simone Kelley (Mother), 53. Muggle.</strong><br/><br/><strong>History</strong>: His father was a traveling photographer, having met his mother, Simone, a naval accountant, during his first stay in Portsmouth. The pair kept in touch by sending letters and photos and eventually could not stand the distance. They married, intending to stay in Portsmouth together for the rest of their days, but his father's wanderlust hit him hard just a few years after Kimone was born. He began to travel again, at first only for a few days at a time, then for weeks, then one month turned to two- His mother was not at all happy with this. The two divorced when he was just six, the same year his powers began to manifest. In short, his father was forced to make a sudden reappearance that same year to explain to his overwhelmed Muggle ex-wife that their son was not<em>possessed by demons</em>, but was in fact a<em>wizard</em>. His mother, bless her, dealt with the influx of magical terminology around the house pretty well after that, allowing her ex-husband to ease her into the secret world of magic and wizardry over time.<br/>The pair then agreed to trade Kimone back and forth between a highrise in Suwon and a townhouse in Portsmouth every six months so they could each get enough quality time in with their son, though there was a bit of a race to learn Korean for the first year and a half of these exchanges. This went on until he was 12, where throughout the years his parents were still writing letters to one another as well as to and from Kimone.<br/><br/>They had remarried later that year, and thus, they all moved BACK to Portsmouth, but kept with the practice of sending Kimone elsewhere.<br/><br/>Instead of bi-annual trades between parents, it was then customary that, for four to six months out of the year, his parents would run off to exotic lands together and leave their son in the care of one of his mother's closest friends in New Orleans. Samariya Boudreau is a world renowned breeder of magical creatures, and while she is eccentric, she also plays a large role in Kimone's life. His time with her further mellowed him out, if not because of the language barrier, then certainly because of her happy, shoeless life in the bayou with her many beautiful beasts. It was there that he learned French and Creole (Cajun French) and figured out how to mix the two so as to better understand the locals, with New Orleans being his favorite place of all after getting used to Cajun life. It was also there that he discovered his love of animals and magical creatures, as he'd been disallowed pets altogether at his parents' houses growing up. His letter came in the fall, having only just returned home to Portsmouth to spend time with his parents.<br/><br/>Fast forward to his third year, and he is unsure of whether or not he wants to follow a career path similar to Samariya's or if he would like to pursue that of a magical historian. Kimone intends to mosey along until he picks a favorite, and is in no particular rush.<br/><br/><strong>Likes</strong>: ANIMALS/CREATURES. Mysteries.<em>Eating and cooking</em>, reading, riddles, the outdoors. Breezes, the Sun. Swimming. Chatting, hugs. Will only drink hot tea or water. Spicy things. Neat looking gloves.<br/><br/><strong>Dislikes</strong>: Opiates. Alcohol, burdening or upsetting others,<em>animal cruelty</em>. Any beverage that is not hot tea or water.<br/><br/><strong>Best Known For</strong>: His calming aura. It is often said that time spent in his company eases stress and helps with sleeplessness. His voice is also nonsensically deep and carries a rolling purr, greatly contrasting his soft features and unimpressive stature. It is the subject of many jokes, one of the most common being, "<em>You [Kim] could get paid to read the phone book</em>."<br/><br/><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: Mastering the art of dexterity. His sleight of hand, card, and parlor tricks are unrivaled, namely because he learned to do them without magic first, and added the spells in afterward. He loves using these tricks to cheer people up.<br/><br/><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: Having once been madly in love with a gorgeous girl in his first year, to whom he gave some magnificent advice pertaining to how she might snag her own crush. It worked, and those two are still dating to this day. This was Kimone's first red flag. He fails to speak for his own emotions properly, and loses out to someone else every time. He has practically trademarked the friend-zone, dudes.<br/><br/><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong>Kimone has never ACTUALLY dated anyone before. He has found that intimacy without a meaningful foundation does not hold his interest, and has resolved to pursue friendships instead of romantic exchanges these days. He's still a hopeless romantic, though, and will gladly bring flowers and home-made chocolate confections to any particularly special someones.<br/><strong>Extra curricular subjects</strong>: Creature Care Student Aid, reading every book he sees, swimming.
