Barkyn's wretched characters

Charly B. Barkyn (App)

Name: Charly Age: 24 Status: Single Charly is twenty-four years old and has already spent a few months in jail; a fact of which he is not proud of. The best would be to never lose a word about it anymore, but considering it being a deed that is far from being seen as harmless, it has turned to be no easy task. Shamelessly was he accused of murder of his own sister, and along with this title came the allegation of being a pedophile. Innocent or not, this man has, despite the lack of evidence, experienced what it feels like to be expelled from society and all other possible communities. Family was of not much help either, they had abandoned their family-member long enough ago to not be bothered by his imprisonment. Presently has he moved in hopes of starting completely new and as an unknown being in this city, regardless of the female police officer that was „assigned“ to his case, or to Charly, "chasing" him. Despite this man’s murky past and lack of enthusiasm to see the bright side of life, is he capable of being the cheerful and courageous guy if needed. If not, his tendencies rather lie in the area of pessimism, grief and resentfulness, concerning entire humanity. A rather dark vision of the world slumbers in his mind, and if asked, he’ll gladly preach about the wrongness of everything and everyone. However, Charly seeks, even if in denial, love, peace and rest; not only with himself but also with others. Anyone who has these three to offer will soon find Charly pestering them. About romance: Charly is, and will always be, highly emotional, sensitive and cheesy. He’ll gladly commit himself to a long-term relationship, despite of his adventurous and curious attitude that often leads him into clubs, trying to hook up random women. Additionally is he always fond of surprising his chosen women with flowers or other gifts in order to make her happy. Likes: Books, parks, calm and soothing places, long strolls, even clubs to satisfy certain needs, writing, swimming, drinking, smoking, intelligent people, deep conversations, people on „his“ niveau, people who detest religion.

Kusy DeFleur (App)

Name: Kusy Age: 40 Status: Single Friendliness is a word unknown to Kusy. Even if asked will he gladly talk about „no man being kind“ and „everyone having an inner monster“. He considers himself awfully honest and indiscreet, a trait he appreciates about himself and demands others to honor. Honesty is mistaken for rudeness, and indiscreetness is actually coarseness which he prefers to sugar-coat with these titles. The truth of the matter is that Kusy cherishes an own inner monster, and instead of seeing himself as one, discriminates everyone to be „equal“ in that case. This man fears no one and likes to be feared among those that attempt to trick him. He is definitely shallow and superficial but does not lack the sense for money or the ability to detect mischief. Granted that he will gladly „supervise“ someone in case of attempted trickery. Kusy is most of the times found in his own successful strip-club, „Cathole“ in Downtown. As a proud club owner, he appointed himself to some lovely duties, such as selling drugs and the bodies of women in order to secretly humiliate them. Nothing could be more satisfying to this man than debasing the gender he despises; something he could not be more frank about. Despite his hatred, has his business-sense conquered his rationality, meaning that he is paying those whores good money in order to get them to stay and pander their costumers. If people desperately need drugs, a job or something else to be done, they seek the help of this dangerous man who knows practically everyone. His social connections have brought him advantages and a bad reputation of which he is fond of. Either way, Kusy will provide his service but contently withdraw once the costumer is unable to redeem his debt. And debt can only be redeemed by offering personal goods such as expensive TVs, exclusive furniture or Granny’s hereditary, precious jewelry, since he does not take real money. He does not wish that his steps can be traced back, hence this procedure. However, apart from his obvious powers, there are some hidden ones, such as wandering into people’s dreams in wolf shape. The wolf is red and has a grin which is compared to the devil. Metal teeth which indicate the falseness of this creature, not even owning a genuine smirk. When seen in dreams, it is always construed as a „bad sign“ which follows usually bad luck or true misery. Kusy can only wander into people’s dreams while he is asleep and only into those that he knows personally. He might not bring actual harm in dreams but will probably do so in real life sooner or later. People do not know about his power, the wolf is not associated with Kusy, only understood as a bad symbol in dreams. Likes: Party, sex, drugs, alcohol, sarcasm, cruelty, rationality, men that are tinier than him, dominant women, submissive women, stupid women, suits, fashion, dancing, sports, everything to optimize his own looks, styling gel, high expenses, money.

Malvin McAdams (App)

Name: Mal or Malvin Age: 26 Status: Taken Malvin seems like an easy man to deal with. Despite his few obvious oddities such as being incapable of having a deeper conversation than just smalltalk or hating small-talk at the same time. He works as an office-clerk, gets up at 6 am, and will stay at the office till 7 pm, then be at home at 8 pm. Unless he goes out with some co-workers. Or not. Sometimes, he „gets accidentally lost“ in the huge city they are living in, „ a lack of orientation“ as he likes to call it in front of other people. Malvin is actually „getting lost“ on purpose, full intentionally is he seeking bars or clubs in order to distract himself from his dull routine. Not only distract, but help as he is a secret-drug addict who seeks refugee in places he is not known, since, when taking his drugs, this man is a total stranger. He might turn into the biggest introvert that has ever existed, or the total opposite, an extrovert. He turns to be unpredictable, a guy who is incalculable, might cry in a corner or dance in a circle of people within some mere minutes. Malvin has a girlfriend, who accuses him frankly of cheating, since she cannot make up her mind about him vanishing so often. Granted that Malvin is not honest about his case, living in shame and fear to be betrayed by his love, as people with „supernatural“ capabilities are not gladly seen within this city. Usually Malvin is diving into crowds of people as he loves to disappear in the pile of people, being unnoticed and ordinary for some seconds. He tries to flee from his own depression and problems, of which his hallucinations are definitely the biggest. When caught in trance, without any drug-assistance, he evolves into a sobbing and cradling being, clutching his head as the inner-monsters are entering his own reality. Yet has he not found a proper solution to his problems, only the drugs are helping to oppress his mental qualities, as well as the effects on others. So far has he managed to escape any body-contact whilst being caught in those moments of mental paralysis, fearing that it might be contagious and draw other people in. This has not happened yet, but his fear is more true than he would want to believe it. Malvin is occasionally incapable of distinguishing hallucinations from reality, which results in him naming people odd terms, „Monster“ - „atrocity“ - „dog“ are for instance common titles for random people. This man’s best friend is Charly Barkyn, and is in Kusy’s dangerous debt. Likes: Strip-clubs, people who hate children, intelligence, beauty, simplicity, solitude, calm places, parks, beaches, sun, moon, rain, whores, books, newspaper, watching TV, cars.

Jack Koslow (App)

Name: Jack Age: 36 Status: Single. But was married multiple times Rude, prudish, crude. The job as an agent has worn down Jack to these three essential traits with which he is associated the most. If asked about it, the man will probably only give a shrug with his muscular shoulders, not caring for what other people think. This man does not easily engage into conversations unless asked to do so, he will keep information to himself and rather not talk about anything regarding his occupation. Secrecy is highly valued and preferred by his employer, and since Jack doesn’t want to fear consequences, he sticks to this motto. Although having officially agreed to these terms, is he silently scheming mischief and planning his outbreak. An outbreak into honesty, betraying his company by talking about secret files to the media. By heading for this, he had to compromise and live in the hidden apartment of an unknown prostitute, only infamous among those people that dwell in the same circles. Consequently, Jack has agreed to accept lower standards, which pertain to tidiness, cleanness, and manners. Everything the prostitute seems to care about, to Jack, is alcohol and shallowness. Despite his obvious crassness towards other people, and lack of social skills, is Jack capable of being a funny and open-minded guy who gladly indulges into conversations beyond ordinary small-talk. He appreciates and misses his family back at their farm, and shows his friendly side to those that carry the same values. Currently is he still bound to an action-packed daily routine, assigned to cases where it needs his brute-force, meaning that he is trained in the field of storming through people’s doors. Sometimes, when he has a day or evening free of duty, can he be found in various places such as gyms or parks where he jogs. Everything to keep his rather rugged shape fit and to alleviate his mind of his self-conjured burden. Either way will Jack likely welcome other social interactions which he currently lacks, meaning that anyone who is willing to chat-up this guy, in sexual or non-sexual manner, will find a loyal and friendly companion, despite his short temper. Likes: Sports, out-going activities, birds, bikes, the action during his job, loyalty, family, honesty, tidiness, clean people, hierarchy, safety, easy-going people.
