So many OCs on my mind, goodness!

OK, before I introduce this guy lemme make something clear: “The Lost Cargo of Kit Cloudkicker” and I have a complex relationship.

On one hand, I love Adult Kit’s design and enjoy that he emulates Baloo in certain ways. On the other hand, his characterization feels dissonant in that he emulates Baloo in a lot of the wrong ways. You mean to tell me an uneducated slacker and lousy pilot is what that same street-smart kid who kept Baloo in check would wind up? As if.

Plus, Kit seemed way too isolated in the episode, let alone disconnected from Molly. Why was he the only one working at Higher for Hire for instance? Because if he’s been doing everything, that cannot be healthy.

So here’s a mechanic to keep the big guy company and sane.

Biography:

Abandoned by college-age parents

An orphan as a child just like Kit

However, he was ‘adopted’ alongside other orphans by a couple that were actually Heron and a fellow FOWL agent in disguise

Was inducted into a brainwashing program headed by Black Heron so he could be molded into a secret assassin

First heard LGBT+ terms from overhearing some Eggheads discussing orientations

He was the only one Agents Beakley and Bagheera managed to save in time, the others killed off by Heron beforehand

A butterfly drew his focus away from the group and led him astray until Bagheera came across him by mistake
Bagheera, taking pity, took the boy in and raised him himself

This meant he had to retire from the spy business early in order to raise Simon properly

Moved them from Singabore to Cape Suzette for the boy’s safety

Made quick friends with Kit shortly after moving there

When Kit, after learning from Baloo that Bagheera is gay, confessed to Simon that he’s bisexual, Simon out of relief confirmed his own sexuality

Had a brief falling out with his stepfather once he told them he intended to be a plane mechanic

Bagheera didn’t want to risk him crossing paths with FOWL

Sought out Higher for Hire because he grew up hearing all sorts of tales about Baloo and wanted a chance to see the world

Took over as Higher for Hire’s new mechanic after Wildcat retired

Likes to call Kit “Cinnamon Bun” while Kit calls him “S’more” in return

Personal Conflicts:

Must learn to accept that there’ll always be people who care about you, no matter how awful you’ve been

Must come to realize that he is not ‘disposable’ and that his value as a person should not depend on his utility to others

Likes:

Various music but especially electronic

Sweet foods

Butterflies

Legos

Traveling

Video games

Anything of the adventure genre

Being unpredictable

Dislikes:

When people assume that he’s incapable of emotion

His own seeming lack of sensibility

His emotions being mocked

When Kit downplays himself

Oysters

Too much routine

Quirks:

Tends to compare things to stuff in video games like final bosses and cheat codes

Skills

Fixing various vehicles, especially planes

Managing finances

Sewing

Semi-decent cook

Trained in Tai Chi by Bagheera
