[ Koray Ignis ]

[ Catch Me As I Fall ]
[ The Basics ]
Name Meaning: Ember Moon Fire ("Koray" - Turkish name meaning "Ember Moon". "Ignis" - Latin word for "Fire")
Nick Name: Ko, Koko, Flaming Homo (he generally prefers anything but this.)
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Officially straight, but more likely bi-curious. (*cough*Sen*cough*)
[ Sweet Ruptured Light ]
[ Appearances ]
Hair: Short and blonde, with lighter blonde highlights from sun-bleaching. Likes it neat and gelled, but regularly forgets, leaving it look like he's just rolled out of bed.
Face & Eyes: Ko's face is very round and soft, and sometimes he is mistaken for being a little younger than he really is. He shaves almost obsessively, so he is rarely - if ever - seen with stubble. His eyes are a bright, sparkling blue, and very slightly slanted in the Eastern manner. When he smiles, he gets dimples. His skin is tanned.
Body Type: Highly toned, with muscle definition to his abdomen, arms and legs.
Clothing Style: Day-to-day Koray wears jeans and t-shirts, or shorts and t-shirts in the warmer weather. When he wants to dress smartly, he really goes all out; suits, shirts, ties, tuxedoes, he's got style. When working, Koray's uniform consists of a white shirt, black waistcoat, and black trousers. On occasion this ensemble also includes a black tie. For added flair, Ko quite often tucks a folded red handkerchief in the pocket of the waistcoat.

[ A Look Deeper ]
Personality: Koray has to be one of the most hyperactive individuals you will have themisfortune to meet. He loves to know what is happening around him, and so takes great interest in people. He chatters almost incessantly, but is lucky enough to seem kind and innocuous enough not to really annoy most people. He has the ability to appeal to a variety of ages and genders, having many friends of both. Elderly women seem to be drawn to him, for whatever reason, and he does not have the heart to tell them that having his cheeks pinched and being called "cute" or "lovely" is highly disturbing.
Although he generally identifies as straight, Koray tends to act very 'camp', leading a lot of people to automatically assume that he's gay. He briefly tried to curb his personality and behaviour, but in the end gave up, deciding that if people were going to assume that of him then it was their problem, not his.
It could easily be argued that Ko does not have a bad bone in his body. He has little to no aggression, and if he were not so incredibly active it could be said that he is so laid back he is almost horizontal. He rarely gets angry, and never ever raises his voice in public (in anger, anyway). Koray is a very open and warm young gentleman, and he loves to share his love of life and enthusiasm with everyone he meets. He is always polite, although his eagerness can be irritating to some. In a way, he is a little like a puppy; Ko just wants to be friends.
Ko is very interested in just about everything. He likes to take notice of the people he studies with, because he feels that being nice, or giving them a card for their birthday might just make them happy. He is of the opinion that being nice costs nothing, and he likes to share his niceness with everyone.
Of course, no-one is perfect, and Ko has his negative points as well as the next man. He has the habit of getting utterly involved in his research, to the point of forgetting to do useful things (like, eating, sleeping, washing...), and has been known to miss class because he had found a new book to study. He just gets utterly wrapped-up in things. Koray also falls very hard when he falls in love. When he feels he is in love, all he thinks of is study, or that. He doesn't neglect his friends, per se, but he definitely has less time in his mind for them.
It is very easy to take advantage of Koray, as he is a naturally giving person. He will not refuse a loan of money, a loan of belongings, lifts, you name it. He has been hurt numerous times in the past by people who have "befriended" him simply to get things from him. He always bounces back from being hurt, but it does not mean that the actions don't affect him. He never shows his hurt outwardly, not for something like that. Instead, Ko has the bad habit of bottling things up. Unfortunately, this often (if not always) ends up in something exploding, or him having a bit of a crying breakdown. He always gets embarrassed if he ends up having one of those little breakdowns in front of people, but sometimes it cannot be helped.
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Dreams: Ko wants to pass his degree, and get a nice job so he can have zero financial worries and buy a nice big house with a few pets, and find a lovely wife to romance. He also wishes to become a leading name in Grecian mythological research and writing.
Fears:

[ Present History ]
Koray Ignis is the elder twin (by a whole thirty minutes, as he loves to remind Ciel) born to Kasumi and Aither Ignis. After the birth of their twins, Kasumi requested her husband take them all to her homeland of Japan, as she wished her children to experience the culture that she had grown up in. Though reluctant to leave his Grecian homeland, Aither was always willing to do as his beloved wife wished, and compromised; he would move his bakery business to Japan once the twins were twelve. This appeased Kasumi, and that is what they did. The twins grew up speaking a fractured combination of Greek, ancient Greek, Japanese, and English, and learned to embrace both their cultures.
It so happened that whilst he was at school, Ko discovered a love of literature and study. He soon became an A*-student, excelling in the studies he put himself forward for. It was only down to his hard work, however, and not for any sort of genius tendencies. He had a few nasty falls from the ropes in Physical Education classes, which made him the butt of his classmates' jokes for quite some time. Determined not to be labled "the geek" for much longer, he threw himself into going walking. That became jogging, which then became running, and soon he was as fit as the rest of them, if not moreso.
Growing up, Ko had a few girlfriends, and treated them all impeccably, even those who turned out to be not-very-nice-people. He never really had a serious girlfriend, nor one that he felt he was in love with and wished to spend the rest of his life with. It saddened him that he would not be able to have a school-sweetheart to marry, but at the same time he didn't want to end up saddled with someone who was not "The One".
Going to college after school was no question for Ko: he had it all set in his mind. First school, then college, then university, then the working world. He didn't have a total plan as to what he was going to do with his life, he just knew that was the way it went. So off to college he went, specialising in Classical Civilisation, English Literature, Japanese and Archeology. He discovered at college that he had a great passion for history, and decided then that he was either going to be a historian, an archivist or an archeologist. Either one of the three, he wanted to specialise more. And so, after college, onto university he went. Luckily for him, his parents' bakery business was booming in Japan; the eclectic mix of English and Grecian food an exotic draw for crowds of all walks of life.
There were few universities that offered the sort of course that Koray was searching for, but after a long search he discovered one. He threw himself into university life with a great deal of vigour, though not in the way most of his age-group did. Where they were going out partying until all hours, Koray was in the three-story library until it closed, reading the new books that were available to him. He would go on trips to the museums in the local and surrounding area, trying to find more and more to learn.
When not researching, Koray works as a waiter in his parents bakery-come-cafe, “Ambrosios”. He enjoys being around customers and dealing with people, although he has been known to get belligerent if someone treats his twin with anything but respect.
