Kaleb's Bedroom

[Lezzi]

On the east side of the house, first floor. It can be nice and neat most of the time. Unless he's been at work.

Kaleb Jonathan Tey,

"I know you’ve been hurt by someone else
I can tell by the way you carry yourself
If you let me, here’s what I’ll do; I’ll take care of you
I’ve loved & I’ve lost
"

height: 6ft' 6in".
weight: 200 lbs.
hair: Long, about an inch past his ears. Ditry blonde (with possible a few gray if you look hard enough like his sisters)
eyes: A light shade of blue, looking bright and ‘shimmery’ when he genuinely smiles
piercings:A faint hole in his right ear from rebellious years, but he hasn’t had an earring since he was 18
tattoos: faded on his right shoulder
distinguishing features: He doesn’t smile as much as he used to, blaming it on the fact that he’s become more ‘serious’ and taken the role as the head male of the families. He’s also muscular, but doesn’t normally wear to show it off. But, no matter how much he works to keep up a hard and serious façade, his eyes have always given him away, always looking playful and young; if you’re lucky enough to get him to give a cheerful smile or laugh, they almost literally twinkle and make him look his young age.
style: Button-ups & slacks have been his recent attire. When he’s not in his business uniform, whether in the office or not, he’ll be in a loose t-shirt & jeans for house and yard work. He rarely dresses to show off his muscles and only wears wife-beaters to work in the back yard, and a swimsuit for the beach every second blue moon.

take these rings & stow them

quirks:

• Kaleb likes ketchup on anything and everything; his sisters demand that he keeps the sauce away from foods like pizza and mashed potatoes though. He has yet to find something that doesn’t go well with ketchup.
  
• Kaleb is extremely OCD. He has to have everything neat, symmetrical, and exactly on the right point. If something is even one tenth of an inch off (that he can tell, like with a measuring tool or specific place it’s supposed to be in), he’ll demand that it’s put right.
  

personality: Kaleb has become a disciplinary father-like figure to his siblings. He always seems to be in business-like, never letting himself have too much fun. He’s very straight forward and tries not to be too harsh, but sometimes he doesn’t think through what he’s saying. He doesn’t smile often and usually the smile doesn’t reach his beautiful eyes.
One of the only people he smiles genuinely and laughs for anymore is his nephew Akito. Most people mistake him for his own kid or Hanna for his wife, but they quickly clear up that they’re related. Kaleb loves Akito like he was his own son though, always taking any chance he can get to baby sit him. He’s very loving and caring for the small child, wanting nothing but the best for him.

history:
Kaleb never personally knew his mother. All he knew was that she was apparently an important woman and messed around with the wrong guy. So instead of keeping him, she blackmailed Jonathan Grassin into keeping the child, saying she would frame him for rape if he didn’t take him. Jonathan, unable to refuse, took the child but demanded a bit of support; if she was too ‘moral’ to just throw the child, then she had better do some of her part in raising it. So a $2,000 check came in the mail every month to Jonathan, who never spent a single dime on Kaleb unless absolutely necessary – which wasn’t very often at all.

Jonathan Grassin was an alcoholic, not physically abusive in Kaleb’s early years, but he never did much to put anything positive in Kaleb’s life either. The man did drugs and gambled and never seemed to care about his son. Kaleb doesn’t understand how or why, but as a child he devoted himself to house cleaning and trying to please his father, keeping everything organized for him. It never made him happy, but the man never had much to yell at him for either. Unfortunately, when Kaleb turned 5, his father grabbed him up and took him on the run. The boy didn’t know what was wrong and his father started hitting and yelling like it was his fault that he was having trouble with a drug dealer. Kaleb would take the hits; he always saw the positive side of living on the run on the West Coast, never staying anywhere for too long, always seeing new sites. Again, Kaleb doesn’t understand how he ever thought brightly on this.

Finally when Kaleb was 6 years old, the police caught up with Jonathan. Unfortunately, the police didn’t treat Kaleb with any more respect or kindness like most alcoholic and drug abused children required for a story book ‘rescue’. Kaleb was kept at the police station for a long time, ignored, until the Chief (thankfully a woman) started yelling at everyone she could find, asking ‘why this poor dirty child was still here and not washed up in a nice warm foster house!’ Kaleb didn’t like the idea of a foster house, but he didn’t complain as they took him to a strange family.

He was left with a woman named Ms. Tey. He loved her, doing whatever she wished. He hated her husband though, he was never nice, and always looked down on Kaleb & Ms. Tey. Jason Criss was his name and Kaleb thought it was like acid against his brain cells. He wasn’t at all sorry when he left Ms. Tey, growing up to promise to be a father figure for the family– even though at the time he was still small. But he couldn’t help with the habits he developed throughout his high school years. He was drunk, partying, and always doing something wrong. He was wild and uncontrollable. He tried to behave when he was around his siblings, the growing family, but he didn’t stop until he came home one night and accidentally smacked Diana for something she had said. “Kaleb…” His new mother looked at him with a disappointed and hurt expression. “I….Dia….I’m sorry.” He choked out, still drunk. Diana was always his favorite and to see her upset from his doing clicked something. He stopped drinking; remembering Diana and his mother’s hurt expression whenever he grabbed a bottle. With that, he stopped the wildness in himself, but also shut down a lot of his ‘fun’ side. He now is a hard father figure, who disciplines and is very straight forward and business like. He loves all of his siblings, but would hate to ever hurt them, preventing it by doing anything possible.
