THORPE, KAI
Character's full name: Kai Vincent Thorpe Nicknames: none Age: twenty-six Talents: model and tv correspondent Orientation: pansexual Play by: Godfrey Gao
Appearance: Kai laughs at everyone who claims the Asian are all small. Standing at six foot four inches, it is rather hard to believe such a statement. He has often found it hard to get clothes fitting him because of his elongated features and can only applaud those even taller who find something that fit them well. Like Asians however, he has dark brown eyes and hair. His eys always seem to have a sparkle about them and his hair is kept usually short, mainly because long hair is way too much trouble. He has a smile that is contagious. As for body hair, he doesn't really have much and shave it when it shows. He liked to keep a stubble though. Makes him look even sexier (to his opinion).
As a model, he takes care of his body. He is also conscious of the way he looks. He has a little something for fashion, it's a guilty pleasure of hsi and he sometimes ends up spending more money than he meant for a piece. He tries a bit of everything. You might find some really nice suits, some shirts, sweaters and leather jackets just as you can find silk underwear, crazy hats, some rather weird patterned shirts and short shorts. You can't say he's not daring. He's ready to admit it looks ridiculous sometimes though and generally ends up throwing half of his wardrobe at least twice a year. You have to make room to buy more clothes.
Personality: Kai can be such a dork at times. He likes having a good laugh and he can take people laughing at him if the humiliation is not too great. He'll even laugh with you if that happens or just look so adorable as he is embarrassed that you'll just want to hug him. He normally lets it happen, until it gets a bit too intimate, then he's not comfortable and looking for help to get out of this.
He can be professional when the situation asks for it. While Kai is someone with a big heart, he does not always show it. He's the kind that listen to your sad tale, feels sorry, but doesn't feel like he can give you more than a look of pity, a pat on the back and perhaps a drink.
He is very secretive about his personal life and even more about his emotions. While he could be deeply in love with you, he wouldn't let it show. Just like he wouldn't let you know when you've hurt him. He is not as daring as he sometimes appear on television or around people. Only, when asked and pushed to do something by an acquaintance of his, he feels bad saying no. That led to some scary and/or embarrassing situations in the past. If someone hesitates from a suggestion of his however, he doesn't push it.
Likes: sweets, maple, music, fashion, his family, his work, laughing, dogs (he owns two), cocktails (he hates strong liquors unless it's mixed with juice), gifts (whether it's receiving or giving), cooking (he's very good) Dislikes: hard metal, journalists poking in people's private life (or when he has to do it), those who pretend being a model is easy, this recent trend of using rappers in every pop song written, sushi and caviar
History: Alistair Thorpe might not be a name that rings a bell. His face might also not be one you'd recognize on the street. But you definitely heard his voice before. That snarky character in your favorite video game? Voiced by Alistair Thorpe. The commercial you hear when watching your show? Thorpe. The villain in you little brother's favourite cartoon? You guessed it. And it only made sense that he would fall in love with someone who considered her voice just as important, the talented opera singer Elena Waldorf. Fate tried to throw a grey cloud in their beautiful blue sky of happiness by making her sterile but they fixed that by adopting children. Kai was the first of those children.
Born in China, he was but a baby when they brought him home. They wanted to give him a Chinese name. Only Kai isn't really one. At best, it's a wrong way of spelling a Japanese name. Oops? Not like any of them cared and Kai learned to talk of this with laughter. He was later followed by two more siblings taken around the world. Since it's Angelina's spot to have the United Nations at home, they ended it there.
Kai always thought his parents were normal. It's when other kids pointed out they weren't that he found out others thought differently. To him, their world made more sense. He didn't see it weird to be adopted or have only adopted siblings. He didn't think his parents' jobs were weird at all. And he never bothered to look who his birth parents were. Even to this day and he isn't comfortable with others wanting to find out for him. He felt like an outcast at school and had very little friends, despite being a great guy to hang out with. He learned to show who he was more later.
He has a great ear for music but he found out to have absolutely not talent vocally speaking. He's also terrible at doing impersonation. But he was noticed at sixteen to be a model. He started that, for the fun of it but quickly liked it. It was thanks to modelling that he learned to show who he really was. Without being one of those models so famous you cannot not know who they are, he is still booking some pretty nice gigs to this day.
It was also thanks to those gigs that he got the other career that is more at the forefront nowadays: that of a host. Well, not really a host. More like a correspondent. But one that is there regularly, where he can be sent anywhere to follow what's 'hip' these days, making him try all sorts of crazy things at times or meeting with interesting people and/or celebrities to interview them
It took a while for him to move out of the house. In fact, his two younger siblings did so before he did, despite the fact he'd been winnign enough money to get his own house. He chose only recently to get himself something of his own where he lives with his two dogs Pekoe (a female beige husky) and Uchi (a male grey husky).
