Character Description:
Kon is a real life Peter Pan character with a fine appreciation for the Wendy’s in the world. Kon's strawberry blond hair which he sometimes claims to come from his opera singer mother, or was it his ballerina mother? Anyway, his hair was cut with dull sewing scissors, giving it a wild and shaggy look. There's a certain resemblance to one Kurosaki Ichigo, but more in the way they could be mistaken for cousins then anything else. Kon has a runner's body, a player's smile, and deep brown eyes that always reflect the light but never inwardly glow. He’s his own three ring circus of personalities, but this is how he relates to reality, through over-the-top performances. Kon is a self-centered, slightly pervy but idealistic, optimistic, and annoying individual.

He's a little kid with a libido who tends to exaggerate a lot, most of the time when he's with people. He feels that he has to try extra hard to be liked. Kon puts more weight into being acknowledged then being accepted...'cause he had very little acceptance in his whole life. So he doesn't really care if people accept him or not. It’s not as important, which is why he acts out so much. He wants to make an impression, he doesn't just goof off for fun, this is serious buissness here. He only acts he acts in a way that does get your attention and make you remember him. He doesn't care if it's positive or negative - he just wants to plaster his face across your memories. But Kon doesn't show the deep stuff to people, the non-superficial stuff, those thoughts he keeps locked away so they don’t interfere with his performance. No one wants to hear his silly thoughts on peace anyway…

So someone might say Kon has an Ichigo Problem, with capitals and all, that he has “delusions” of thinking himself as another. To the teen, real people were those who stuck to their true selves. They didn’t possess two faces, tragedy and comedy or something of the like. To Kon, Ichigo is a real person because he doesn’t change who his is to comply with others. That's why Kon pretends to be him, if only as a way to understand how he can be real too. Ichigo is like the best of both things for Kon, he's a real person AND the center of attention. Kon wouldn't mind being his understudy. The goofy teen hopes that by like acting like him he’ll be about to understand Ichigo, in the same way actors will play their character 24/7 to better understand their motivation. Kon likes the spotlight, but he knows that he can't always have it. Even being an extra lets him onto stage, which is better then working as a stage hand. Kon needs to feel like he’s apart of something bigger then himself or he’s not sure what else he’s good for. Sure, he’s seen stage love, but he’s a newborn to the real thing, like the boy who never grew up.


Character History:
His story began on the stage; his mother left two year old Kon by the theater’s backstage door. He joined the collection of tales told by the actors, scenes, props, and music of the stage life. Kon learned to speak by imitating the actors practicing their lines, mirror mirror on the wall. And he learned how to interact with others from the characters on stage, exit stage left. Everything and everyone was bright and overdone, transitional and fake in Kon’s eyes as he watched backstage, where the men became women, and the women become men. Social norms like modesty never formed in the boy’s mind. ‘They,’ the fake people, used Kon for small children roles and soon his young sense of self was joined by ‘Toddler B’, ‘Timmy,’ and ‘Boy who Cries.’ When he outgrew his typecast, they sent him to work the small crawl spaces and cat walks where Kon would silently mimic the actors below to feel apart of the show, enjoy some spotlight. When he was 13, the theater, his entire made-up world, closed from lack of funds. Kon ended up on the streets, with only his mimicry and personalities to rely on. So he preformed, pretending to be Other People to survive, and protect himself. Charming shopkeepers with Noble Son #1 or the Messenger Boy, Kon begged, whined, and annoyed people for food. And if he couldn’t convince them, he could run like he had the wings of Aries on his ankles. But sometimes the local police would catch him, snoozing in a park or looking up women’s skirts, and they’d drag out whoever he was today before throwing him back out on his bum, smarting with the warning.

He met Kurosaki Ichigo when he was 15, alright maybe met wasn’t the right word, more like he heard this crazy orange-haired teen shouting outside Kon’s latest hovel. The orange-haired teen was growling at a couple of youths and pointing to the crushed flowers on a nearby memorial, beating up the offenders. Kon observed unnoticed, fascinated as the teen bully then deviated from the troublemaker caricature by turning to the air and holding a conversation with it. Kon thought the guy was pretty original and a far cry from any other tough guy attitude he’d ever encountered. And being the good actor that he was, the teen began mimicking the other teen. Got the cursing down and everything.

He was finally caught by the police for disturbing the peace with his heart-felt sonnet to the well-endowed daughter of a landlord. He switched into his tough guy role, and managed to mimic the guy’s fighting style pretty well, the practice really paid off. But once he started to make fun of policeman’s mother, the guy’s partner knocked him out from behind. Okay, maybe being a tough guy wasn’t what it was cracked up to be, especially when you’re new to the ‘whole scuffling with the police’ as Kon was. When Kon awoke in a holding cell, there was a detective on the other side if he was related to Kurosaki Ichigo, who ever the hell that was. Apparently, that guy’s unique fighting style was well known by the police, who’d had called the head of the Institute to see if they were missing a patient. On that day, Kon learned three things: that sometimes being too good of an actor could be a bad thing; that the orange-haired kid was crazy AND had a name, and that he wasn’t going to prison. Crazy is as crazy does, apparently hey nonny no, when he met Aizen three day’s later.
End of Scene 1.
