Name: Kinks Albright
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Occupation: Assistant to Detective Yorke/ Student
Race: Human
Physical Appearance: Fairly lithe but with a slight musculature, Kinks is average height and has a mess of short-trimmed dyed pink hair, improved only by a few eyebrow and ear piercings that make his face look part metal. Yes, he definitely stands out from the crowd in a punk rock kinda way. He's also usually got bruised knuckles.
Clothing Appearance: Leather jackets and ripped jeans are the order of the day, Kinks is most commonly seen in the summer months in a sleeveless black leather jacket with studs at the shoulders but in winter switches to a red one with sleeves and an angel wing motif printed on the back. Kinks looks like a fairly typical Punk, in all honesty, which makes him easy to pick out of a crowd.
Personality: Perhaps best summed up by Yorke, "Kinks isn't stupid, but he is an idiot". Whether or not he's right, it's hard to argue that Kinks is the most intelligent of people. Hot-headed, impulsive and often somewhat gullible, Kinks isn't the smartest kid around and is prone to making errors in judgement that can lead to physical altercations. He's brave, that much is certain, since he isn't the most intimidating in stature but absolutely refuses to back down to anyone. Sometimes a little goofy, Kinks is a thoroughly honest person which often makes him the butt of jokes with his outspoken personality somewhat inviting it. He's perhaps a good example of someone who acts more confident than they are, he's actually somewhat insecure as he's well aware he isn't as smart as other people and feels a little inferior to people who seem smarter. But, again as said by Yorke, "Kinks possesses an animal cunning" which (while it might sound harsh) does describe Kinks' almost sixth sense like ability to form bright ideas despite a lack of understanding exactly how the execution will work. As you may have gathered, he has a bit of a hero complex about Yorke and despite their diametrically opposed personalities, there is a lot of mutual affection between the duo.
Weapons/Tools: Kinks usually has a slinghot and a baseball bat either on him or stowed somewhere nearby. Kind of a holdover from his old days. As well as a cellphone to contact Yorke.
Skills: Kinks is a pretty good shot, he's one hell of a brawler and he's fairly good at video games. Other than that, he's fairly bereft of skills.
Are they a Stand User: Yes
Quotes:
"I know I'm not smart, but I'm not an idiot!" (paraphrased from what Yorke said)
"Hey! You listen when Mr. Yorke's talking!"
"You want to fight? I'll mess you up, idiot!"
"Oh, uhh, hey, I was just, ummm, I was gonna say you look... really cute today..." (a sad time when Kinks tried to confess to a girl he liked)
"Never... give... up!"
Their Goal: Become Yorke's OFFICIAL Assistant!
Their Secret: Kinks' belief that he's worthless, Yorke made him feel worthwhile and so he looks up to the detective more than he admits to himself.
Weaknesses: Hot headed, gullible and lacking in confidence.
Strengths: Indomitable will, courageous and kind-hearted.
Bio:
Kinks never knew his dad.
Whether he was abandoned or he was killed like his mother said, it didn't matter. Kinks grew up with just his mother to look after him and while she tried she wasn't emotionally equipped to handle raising a child by herself
"Oh Kinks, if only you were strong, this would be so much easier if you were a strong man"
His mother once sighed, deeply affecting the young Kinks. He sought to get stronger, working out more, learning to fight and sticking up to bullies as often as he could. His mother did very little to show she appreciated it and one day left him at his grandmothers before leaving. Kinks thought it was his fault. He still wasn't strong enough. This desire for strength would prove to be his undoing as he proved to be one of the first victims of the Cutter.
Walking home from LaGuardia after having been in another brawl, Kinks glanced down an alleyway and saw a mysterious figure approaching. He was a little scared, panicking somewhat at the approaching figures odd movements. There was a flash sometime cut his neck and Kinks fell to his knees, blood flying from his neck. As he lay on the ground, struggling to live, he saw a man in a bowler hat run up to where he was and shout after the figure who had attacked him. The hat wearing man hesitated upon seeing Kinks bleeding. Kinks didn't expect anything. He was just trash, of course he'd leave him be. His vision slowly blurred....
Kinks' eyes opened as he felt an odd sensation around his neck. Orange chains?
"Don't worry," the man said "I [connected] your arteries so the blood would still flow, I have a friend who can deal with your injuries. Can you describe your attacker?"
Kinks shook his head, unsure he could talk with the chains. Yorke cursed softly and stood up tall, assuring Kinks he would get him to safety before looking for clues. Kinks hadn't ever had someone put him first before. He was always the after thought at best, the challenge to overcome at worst, he'd never had someone really... care. His resolve to help this man who valued him was the determination Kinks needed to awaken his Stand. And to tell Yorke he wanted to help him.
The detective was hesitant due to his own background but Kinks was relentless, gaining great proficiency with his Stand in a few weeks through sheer force of will. Will he'd never had to apply before. Kinks has still to be 'officially' accepted but Yorke keeps him in the loop half to keep an eye on him and half out of the pragmatic acknowledgement that Kinks' Stand is incredibly handy in a fight.
Perhaps notably, Kinks still hasn't worked out he was attacked by the Cutter and thinks the investigation is unrelated.
