Kenji Bozzelli
- - ┈┈∘┈˃̶༒˂̶┈∘┈┈ - -
"Bozzelli"
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Very much Bisexual
Role: New Rider
Appearance:
A look at Kenji is enough to confuse anyone of his age, his strong figure, and eyes make him appear older, while his facial features still have a boyish look to them. He is a lean creature with defined features, of which, include his facial features. Kenji's jaw is angled and sharp from the side, yet looking at him straight on his face doesn't seem as defined, giving a softer, if you will, boyish appearance. His nose is straight and angled down, perfectly centered in his face, which takes on a more squarish shape to it. His lips are full and are colored a soft pink in contrast to his tanned skin tone, which has warmer undertones allowing him to have golden skin in the summer. His lips are also shaped in a near-perfect cupid bow. Kenji has dazzling green eyes, speckled with various shades of green, turning paler as the colors fade to his iris. A look into them is enough to turn things serious, they're a window into his soul, revealing a completely other side to him. His eyes never lie about his true feelings. His eyes are framed by dark brown lashes, thick and full, nearly enough to make any girl jealous, as his sister tells him. When he laughs you can see little crinkles or "crow's feet" under his eyes, paired with a loud deep voice. Now this male's eyebrows are sharper and angulated, making his facial features seem sharper and defined at times. His smile is boyish with his crooked grin and flashy white teeth, causing small dimples to appear on either side of his face if he attempts the motion.
Bozzelli's hair is definitely an attention-getter, with his "long locks" nearly touching the nape of his neck. His hair is colored a soft brown and is thick and lush, paired with natural curls to get the girls. The curl type itself is between a 3a and a 3b, allowing some sporadic springy ringlets to form on his head and its visibly healthy hair. It has a sort of gleam to it in the light and is soft to the touch. Kenji normally styles it with a shower before bed, and then allows his hair to air dry before sleeping on it and then going with the bedhead the next morning. His hair is low maintenance and does not need product unless he's feeling like doing the work to get it there, he's generally a bit lazy when it comes to this part of his morning routine. Kenji is the King of bedhead and messy hair, and no one can rival this.
His figure has been worked on for over the past few years. Keeping in shape has kept Kenji's sanity, and he honestly wouldn't know what to do without it. Running has kept him lean while more weighted exercise has kept his body toned and in prime condition. His torso is narrower, yet his hips and broad shoulders balance it out. His stomach is toned, allowing sight of his abdominal muscles, yet more impressive is this male's back and biceps. After gaining some muscle mass flexing became his personality, yet he has slowly grown more humble about the progress of his physique, yet sometimes he can't help by subtle flex, or by bringing up his strength to impress when he needs it. His weight is slightly above average for your normal male boy, with his height adding to his impressive figure. Kenji stands at an impressive 6'2", and he won't let anyone a millimeter shorter than him get away from his sight without making a height joke.
Bozzelli's scent is a distinctive salt water scent, a single inhale gives you the smell of a crisp morning on the ocean so clear you can envision it. Another recognizable scent is the faint smell of coffee grounds, Kenji's current lifeline. As a "caffeine addict," he drinks it regularly, leaving the scent to linger on him throughout the day. The day you catch this man without his caffeine is a bad day for anyone, you know it's ruff when you catch a whiff of BO. instead of coffee grounds.
Few know this about Kenji, but he does have a piercing. A smaller silver stud is pierced into his right ear, given to him as a gift from his mother. It was a family heirloom and is considered good luck. It's normally covered by his hair, so it's not very noticeable until he ties his hair back, or a glint of the sun catches in it. A few other unknowns about this male include various degrees of birthmarks, he does have a light spray of freckles and small moles across his face, shoulders, and arms, but he has a lighter patch of skin stretched over his ribs. It's on the lateral sides of his body, almost a slight discoloration of the skin if you will. Besides that, he has 20/20 vision and is basically built to pick up anyone's mom.
Personality:
Ah, Kenji, there are many phrases that can be used to describe this young man, "reckless", "flirty", "ambitious", and "confident". But you wouldn't expect intellect to necessarily play a role, considering his spontaneous, irrational seeming, behavior. Kenji is quite observant, always watching and absorbing information. It helps that he has an impeccable memory, allowing him to better read people and remember small details about them. This translates nicely to intelligence, as he can remember so much information without being overwhelmed. He is calculating and aware of his surroundings, and Kenji's survival instincts are off the chart. He grew up the youngest of 6 siblings, so his parents grew lax and let him roam pretty freely when he was younger, and not living in the safest neighborhood he often had to watch his own back and take care of himself. Kenji taught himself to grow up, often overlooked as his older, talented siblings took light, but coming to the choosing ceremony was his way of trying to fight his way back into his parent's favor. Perhaps if he could do something amazing and bond with a dragon it would be enough to get their attention. This lack of parenting has let him pretty attention-starved, he's turned into a very social person to try and counteract these feelings of loneliness and often goes out of his way to be vocal and try and make friends. He can be very optimistic and prefers to see the positive in life versus the negative. With this, he often blocks out negative emotions and hides behind humor. Now, don't get me wrong, Kenji is extremely hilarious and sarcastic, constantly cracking jokes and trying to put smiles on people's faces, but he uses it to distract from his own feelings. He has never been good at expressing himself and has trouble opening up.
Kenji has kept himself in shape for as long as he can remember. Running and strength training is his only outlet for pent-up anger and sadness he doesn't know how to express, and his muscles ache for these activities. His endurance is sub-par, but that doesn't stop him, he pushes and pushes hard until he has nothing left in the tank, completely collapsing until he can do it all over again. Every training session he has he works double time, he feeds off of his improvement and craves to be better. Bozzelli is extremely competitive and will fight for the win at anything he does, he's an all-or-nothing kind of guy and won't half-ass any job or drill. Recently he has been excelling at some hand-to-hand combat, and his swordsmanship has improved as well, he's been looking for new techniques and better teachers, and hopes to learn more during his training as a rider as well. He's a sponge when it comes to soaking up information, and dragons + adrenaline = a dedicated Kenji, he will be thrilled with bonding and hopes to catch on quickly. His slight incoordination will not help with this, however, he is willing to face the embarrassment of falling off of his dragon in order to learn how to ride. Coming into this he hardly knows a thing about how to act around dragons, let alone how the bonding process works since he was not sure he would even get the chance to try and bond with these magnificent creatures. Despite this Kenji will do his best to work in a partnership and pull his end to make it work.
When it comes to spending time with friends Kenji does relax and is not afraid to be his authentic self. While he is a lot of talk, this young man is also a great listener, he can sit still and listen to you ramble for hours if need be. He didn't get that luxury growing up, so he tries to reciprocate it to others. While enjoying time with friends, Kenji does value time alone. Being with people for so long can wear a person out, and he does like just sitting and being in silence. Particularly in nature, he likes colors in fall and spring weather, rainy days, or even light snow. The weather is fascinating and beautiful to experience and just being in the quiet of it is soothing and relaxing. He does values these moments of peace, because he is normally a "go go go" kind of person, preferring to be more productive than just sit around, but he does still enjoy these moments. Speaking of being a productive person, this can be credited to Kenji's best friend, caffeine. Coffee pretty much keeps him alive, and having the extra energy boost allows him to get more stuff done, and be better productive throughout the day. You can tell when he hasn't had a cup of coffee, often grumpy and tired seeming.
Kenji is a passionate person, in his emotions and friendships, and even arguments. He is generally not one to back down or give in. Giving in means losing and Kenji will refuse to lose. He can be stubborn, refusing help or refusing to be wrong when he truly believes he is in the right. This stubbornness transfers over to matters concerning the safety of his loved ones, he is very protective of his friends and close family, and will not allow their safety to be compromised. Believe it or not, Bozzelli thrives under high-pressure situations. He is clear and level-headed and can quickly think through situations. With high stakes, it pushes him to do better and be better.
Dragon: Open
Strengths & Weaknesses:
-Combat, he is good with a sword and has the muscle mass to wield large weapons, as well as potentially be good in hand-to-hand combat once he begins to master more techniques.
-Fast thinking, which has saved his ass plenty of times. He can come up with detailed plans if given time, but Bozzelli is also good at improvising.
-Kenji is good at listening, for all of his ramblings he can take sitting down and hearing the straight details.
-He is not as agile as some others, nor as flexible due to his current training.
-Comprehending emotions, he tends to bury his own and hide it with humor, but he also has a bit of a hard time fully reading people and their intentions.
-Lack of experience and knowledge, he has hardly any idea on how to go about and do this dragon bonding/riding business.
Likes & Dislikes:
-Big fan of cardio....running of course! And staying in shape, he physically cannot let himself take a day off without feeling guilty, however, he still enjoys this time.
-Individual time alone. Kenji is a social being, but he also values time alone to sort out his own thoughts. He also doesn't mind the personal downtime.
-Dragons are, of course, fascinating creatures...yada yada yada. But what he really likes about them is the thrill and adrenaline he receives when around them, the thought of the unknown is almost thrilling. And Kenji does not know a lot about dragons.
-Coffee. His lifeline. Good luck getting him to be productive without any sort of caffeine.
-He enjoys the simple things in life, like getting a fresh pair of socks, cool rain, or starry nights. He is also competitive.
-Kenji is NOT a fan of the snarky or stuck-up, and he will let you know how he feels about that behavior when the time comes.
-Sticky, hot weather does not make for a happy Kenji.
-He doesn't like to sit still for too long, he is a productive person
