About
Kay is an enigma to most people. He’s very stoic and unexpressive, though certain people (like his grandpa and his best friend, Tristan) can read his expressions and moods almost intuitively. Despite his standoffish nature, Kay only wants the best for those he loves, and is incredibly loyal to the people who take time to get to know him past first impressions. In reality, he struggles with expressing his own thoughts, and the time he spends trying to understand and confront his feelings is excruciatingly difficult. He appreciates people who can accept him, despite his lack of words.
Timeline of Kay's Life
March 30th
Kay is born. His father leaves shortly after and his mother’s drinking gets worse.
5 years old
His powers develop but he hides it from his mom because he’s scared and not educated about these things.
6 years old
Uses his fire in self defense one night when his mother beats him. She is disgusted that he inherited his father’s powers, and abandons him. Eventually he was found and placed in the custody of his grandfather.
His grandfather helps him accept his power as something to be proud of,
not something to be ashamed of
Kay meets Tristan at his new school after moving in with his grandfather. Tristan is talkative and sticks to Kay. Kay is grateful for the friendship even though he might not know how to express it.
Early teenage years
Kay realizes that his grandpa is struggling with money and has been hiding it from him so that he wouldn't worry. Kay makes a vow to help out his grandfather and to make life comfortable for him. He approaches Apollo's gang, where he learns how to fight, and starts making money through street fights, scrapping it out in rings.
Grandpa’s health declines, Kay starts working extremely hard to pay for medication, but ultimately his grandfather passes.
Early/Later teenage years
Kay’s mental health worsens, becomes very detached to things in his life
Meets Dan on a shit day,
and suddenly life doesn’t seem so bad anymore. Dan is a nurse and patches him up after fights. Dan becomes his safe space, and helps Kay come to grips with his grief. Kay stops street-fighting and applies for multiple part-time jobs. However, he would still get into minor fights as an excuse to see Dan. He develops complicated feelings towards him. (Kay/Dan fic).
Meanwhile, at school, Kay’s friend circle expands to Reve and Alex.
Dan gets engaged
Kay becomes more resigned and his fear of abandonment kicks in (A little off the deep end, Closed).
Ultimately with Tristan and Reve’s help, he decides to move on from Dan and take some space away from him. Altogether, they go on a road trip together where he realizes how big and beautiful the world is from what he thought.
Comes back and meets Jayce
And this is the beginning to another disaster, but we'll get to that...eventually.

Related
Ever since he met Kay as a smol child, the two have been inseparable. Mostly it's because Tristan never leaves Kay alone, but Kay is appreciative of the friendship. He seems to have an intuitive understanding of Kay's moods, and oftentimes will put to words what Kay doesn't even understand about himself.
Fun and extremely energetic, Reve seems to always bring out the chaotic vibes in Kay. They met in gym class, and the two of them have a strange competitiveness that is just borderline dumb.
Kay doesn't really know Alex too well, but Tristan seems to like her so she's okay in his books.
The person who helped Kay accept himself as a young child when he was scared of his own powers. Kay would die for him in a heartbeat.
A concerned citizen who found Kay bleeding out in an alleyway, and helped patch him up. He's a nurse, and becomes Kay's father figure/confused love interest.
