Full Name: Kari Swanson
Assigned Sex: Male
Date of birth: 10/31
Age: 24
Species: Human
Physical Characteristics
Hair Color: Bright yellow blonde
Hair Description: Very long, very straight. Fine, but meticulously well kept and cared for. Whether he wears it down and loose, pulled back into a bun (for work), or in pigtails (for pleasure) depends entirely on his mood and who he needs to impress at a given time.
Skin Color: Pale pink-white.
Eye Color: Deep blue
Eye Description: Wide and round and full of implied innocence.
Height: 5’10”
Weight: 150 lbs
Build: Kari’s slight, soft build is deceptive; he has a strong core of muscles just beneath his squishy flesh. The fact he doesn’t have the build for a six pack was once a cause for infinite frustration; now he uses it to his advantage.
Preferred Dress: Dresses, if he’s being perfectly honest. And skirts. Bright colors and fitted in just the right way to emphasize his limited curves. Of course, whether or not he can get away with dressing how he pleases depends on the neighborhood, the company, and what kind of imagine he needs to be presenting. He’s had little luck selling himself as a mercenary in a pink cocktail dress, much to his chagrin.
Genealogy and History
Parent One: Charles Swanson, male, human. Owner and CEO of Swanson Foods, an intergalactic megacorporation ostensibly focusing on anything and everything food/drink related.
Parent Two: Martha Swanson, female, human. Deceased.
Birth: Born Christopher Swanson, healthy and happy and with a solid silver spoon in his mouth.
Childhood: Kari’s mother died when he was still very young. He has limited memories of her. His father, devastated by her loss, coped by hyperfocusing on work. He spoiled his son terribly, giving him anything and everything he asked for, but was very distant. The older Kari got, the more he resembled his mother, the more difficult it was for his father to see him, the more insistent his father got that he give up his more feminine ways now that he was old enough to “be a man.”
Adulthood: Kari and his father had an inevitable falling out, caused by Kari posing for a *ahem* rather adult photoshoot when he was eighteen. One with a very feminine slant. His father found out and was furious, as it could affect how the company was viewed, and Kari’s future as eventual owner and CEO. Kari made it very plain he’d never wanted that to begin with; he wanted to be a model. He told his father he didn’t need a penny, and cut himself off without a second consideration. What was expected to be a short, painful lesson in the difficulty of being independent when you’ve never had to, turned into a cross-universe adventure of failed modeling and successful assassinating. It was never what Kari really wanted to do for a living, but he found he had a knack for looking like literally anything but an assassin. What started as a one-time job to pay off a very looming loan-shark turned into his primary way to make ends meet. It got easier each time. Now, he sort of enjoys it, though he’s good enough now that he can be picky about his targets, preferring to take people who “deserve it,” although his definition of that is vague and broad. He specializes in deaths that look like accidents.

Skills and Personality
Talents:
- Trained Mercenary: Kari’s father was almost certainly not expecting this out of Kari’s life when he signed him up for all those martial arts classes. Or those shooting classes, which were meant to make him more masculine. Or any of the other dozens of physical and mental activities he encouraged in his son. But the end result or a golden childhood and a lot of practice is that Kari is now an expert in killing--and in making it look like an accident.
- Singing Voice: It doesn’t come up often, but Kari has a singing voice he considers to be that of an angel--and that most people consider to be at least pleasant.
- Ambiguous Gender: Not quite a talent, but Kari uses it like one. He’s a very effeminate person in general, but is more than capable of playing up “male” more one day and “female” more the next, depending on his dress, makeup, and way of holding himself. It comes in very handy in his line of work.
