Common markings for a giraffe. When on duty he wears his standard military uniform. In casual settings and after the war he wears dark pants and a dark shirt.

Biographical Data:

Kyle Simon was born in the Talwyn coastal city of Aravel. His father served in the Talwyn military while his mother remained at home to take care of her son. His interest in the Talwyn military and its history drove him towards an eventual desire to enter the service and defend his people.

When he arrived there he excelled at sniper skills and general combat, proving himself an effective soldier. Kyle partnered with a male ram with whom he developed a strong friendship. While the two served until the war ended, they continue to serve running the resistance on behalf of their president.

Kyle and Chris became surrogate parents to Topaz after her mother's death. Kyle is second in command of the Talwyn resistance after Chris.

Personal Statement:

"My name is Kyle Simon. When I was a young giraffe I never thought of myself as tall. I always wondered why all of the other species were shorter than I was. I guess it's because we all think of ourselves as normal. My childhood was pretty unremarkable, no siblings or anything, but when I was old enough I joined the military and met up with a ram that would become my best friend.

We happened to be assigned to the same group during training and it turned out we just naturally synced together. Before I knew it we were eating all our meals in the mess together and doing just about everything as a team. Someone must have noticed because when we graduated we were assigned to the same unit. Afterwards he and I were inseparable. We served in various capacities until we were tapped for Captain Everett's unit. They were tasked with assignments requiring a certain level of ingenuity. Chris and I fit right in.

Our commander was the husband of a Talwyn master. As a result we were frequently sent on missions issued straight from the Tower.

As the war heated up Chris and I were sent more and more often behind enemy lines. When it was clear we were going to lose the war, at least without a change of strategy, the Talwyn masters and President Lisa Evans gave us a new assignment. Form a resistance and slow the Ashurian efforts any way we could. Once the government had pulled out the capital city of Vanskar became our battleground. Since then we've done our best to resist their control and await the day the president and the masters return in force. For now, we wait.

On the last day of the war we encountered the wife and daughter of our former captain. Her mother was dying, so we took her in and protected her. She became a member of the resistance and I suppose it's only appropriate we became her surrogate parents given her father had mentored us so well. I only hope we do his daughter justice."
