Kahlen was born to very conservative Protestant parents. Over the years of trying to repress his mischievous behavior, Kahlen began to rebel out in his early adolescence; everything his parents told him not to do he did for the sake of pushing their buttons. He began to sleep around with other classmates quite often and would openly express his homosexuality to the dismay of his parents, who frowned on it and tried to make him repent these 'sinful' feelings, to the point where they sent him away to straight camp. After that, Kahlen's relationship with his parents greatly deteriorated, and at age 18 he dropped out of his senior year in college. Along with that, he began to bring boys home and getting involved with heavy drugs. His parents had finally had enough of their uncontrollable son and kicked him out of their house. From there, Kahlen depended on his boyfriends to find a place to live until he could become financially stable. Eventually he applied for a job at The Wild Side, a homoerotic strip club.



While working there he met another employee named Gerard. The two had hit off very well and became very close friends, and soon to the point where they developed a romantic relationship. The two had dated for 3 years, which was the longest relationship either had. They had moved in together in an apartment several months in their relationship and it was the first time Kahlen had ever had a serious relationship. Nothing seemed to be going wrong, however one day Kahlen had walked in to catch Gerard sleeping with another male. Kahlen was completely devastated, Gerard had admitted to cheating on him as early as four months into their relationship. He further claimed it wasn't a big deal, and that many people have open relationships, though Kahlen had thought they had a relationship that was more than about sex. The two broke up and shortly after, Gerard was offered a modeling career and moved out of state. Kahlen had lost all faith in relationships and developed an even larger sexual prowess to fill the lonely void.


After Gerard moved away Kahlen was finding it difficult to pay the rent by himself; a few months after the incident he posted an advertisement for a roommate, and a few weeks later Damien moved in. Although his parents have tried to make amends with their son and have him back into their life, Kahlen avoids any communication with them at all costs.

Damien DiCicco

Pronounced: (Last Name) "Dih-See-cho"
Species: Giant River Otter
Sex: Male
Age: 19
Height: 5'7"
Hair Color: Brown with dyed teal
Eye Color: Lime Green
Orientation: Bisexual
Religion: Catholic
Relationship Status: Single

Personality: Athletic, friendly, compassionate, easily flustered, intelligent, low self esteem


Damien grew up in a very loving nuclear family. Being an only child, his parents did their best to give their attention and help him be successful in his life. Damien excelled at academics and would seldom misbehave or speak out, he was always a perfect student example. He was also popular in high school due to his kind and tolerating nature, however he had never taken a great interest in an active social life and would almost never hang out with his friends outside of school. After he graduated, he parted ways with most of his high school classmates.

Because of his academic achievements, he was offered a scholarship to Duboir University. However, the college was two hours away from his home and would make it difficult to travel to and from the city. He moved out soon after his high school graduation, with the bittersweet feelings of his parents. He moved in to a modest city apartment with Kahlen, a young male cheetah. Despite their opposing personalities, they have managed to get along rather well. Kahlen often makes advances on him, which he will usually decline.

While Damien still retains a seemingly innocent aspect to his character, he is in no way naive. He is proper, well spoken, and culturally sophisticated; though in no means snobby. He is also a bit of an exercise enthusiast; he loves to swim, play team sports, and he rides his bike almost everywhere. He is a very compassionate and caring person, but lacks confidence in his actions. He is very harsh on himself and always strives to do better; he can't stand failure.
