This is a character I adopted because he was just too goddamn pretty to pass up. I'm not sure if I'll ever do anything with him, but, I mean, he's cute. Having him available just in case something comes to me is nice.

Cutrus Mathias "Kurt" Altris is a young and deceptively flamboyant-looking bird of prey with a hot temper and a perpetual need to prove himself. His biggest issue is that he just looks so blindingly fabulous that he feels the urge to overcompensate in the other direction lest he come across as some sparkling stereotype. He actually is gay, but he's terrified of being seen as gay-acting, so he tends to be wound-up and tsundere about it instead.

His clothing would probably consist of something aggressive like camo pants, combat boots, and a black tank top with some thrash metal band logo on it. Maybe a spiked collar, unless that's just trying too hard even for him. (He goes back and forth on this because he is very insecure about his image.)

He has just enough of the avian bone structures and such to have an unnaturally low weight, though not low enough to make flight possible. He's still as earthbound as anyone, but his being the lightest guy in the room is just another reason for him to worry about anything that could be seen as weakness.

Prickly yet cautious, he can sense the really tough crowds that would spot him for the dainty poser he is and tends to just stay away from wherever they gather. He much prefers being the big fish in any small pond where the other fish are easy to intimidate. Very tough inside his own comfort zone; almost never dares to peek his head outside it.
