It's all too easy to lose control of myself; I musn't ever let go.
Ahmet is the son of Adem Kayhan, one of the playable characters in The Tin Jubilee, and his wife Gizem Özgül. He currently attends the prestigious Redwood College as a first-year student, and the connections he has with his fellow students may indirectly help the team.
fastidious . bookish . conflicted
Traits. Ahmet is serious, stern, and tries to act more mature than his age. His attitude is borne out of a need for control and a desire to be seen as sophisticated. He keeps to himself and tries to stay out of trouble most of the time, until his emotions get the better of him (or until someone drags him along in their antics). He can be a bit of a hopeless romantic.
Abilities. Ahmet performs well academically, particularly in science, maths, and art. He speaks three languages fluently: Turkish, English, and French. He also can play the violin well. However, he is rather physically weak, and for all his enjoyment of sports, he's not very good at them.
Preferences. Ahmet thrives in logic-based and artistic activities. He enjoys reading, playing chess, drawing, painting, fishing, and practising the violin. He is in touch with his feminine side, as seen by how he enjoys playing dolls with his sister. Despite his clumsiness, he also enjoys sports such as cricket and football.
Beliefs. Ahmet's opinions and beliefs are continuously evolving. He is starting to examine (and question) his faith, as well as the validity of the values that have been drilled into him. He has a few strong opinions of his own, mostly regarding the unfair treatment he and his peers face in the hands of adults.
Health.
Ahmet is in peak physical health, with a strong immune system to boot. He maintains his health through a healthy diet and physical activity, though he sometimes overindulges on sweets. He has a family history of hypertension and stroke on his father's side, but it has not affected him so far.
His mental health, however, is not as robust. He seems to have inherited his mother's manic tendencies (albeit without the depression), which he is aware of and fears. This, in combination with being sensitive to stimuli, makes him avoid situations that upset or overwhelm him.
「 Design Notes 」
- He is 161 cm (5' 3.5") tall and weighs 44 kg (97 lbs).
- He has fair skin, dark blonde hair, and dark brown eyes.
- He wears a white shirt, a light brown waistcoat, and a dark red tie.
- His school uniform consists of a white shirt, a black coat and waistcoat, a green tie with red and white stripes, and a top hat.
- His cowlick floats on top of his head and changes according to his emotional state; when he is agitated or manic, it forms a triangle, reminiscent of an exclamation mark.
- He is a copy of his father in terms of looks.
「 EARLY HISTORY 」
Ahmet was born on the 9th of July, 1893, in the Ottoman capital of Istanbul. Both his father, Adem Kayhan, and his mother, Gizem Özgül, were scholars. When he was 3 years old, his younger sister Bilge was born. He moved to Dristol with his family several months later.
Because of his father's occupation, he initially lived in Rexford, then moved to Crynaria. He was enrolled into a preparatory school when he was 8, then to Redwood College, the school where his father used to teach, after turning 13.

「 Trivia 」
- • His blood type is A+.
- • He is left-handed, unlike his parents. This is a trait he shares with his sister.
- • He prefers mild flavours. His favourite food is bread and his favourite drink is milk.
- • Like his father and uncle, he has a sweet tooth; he often goes to SE Clark Confectionery on the weekends while at school.
- • He used to be very clingy towards his mother when he was a toddler until Bilge came into the picture. To this day, he's still a bit of a mother's boy.
- • He was quite chubby as a baby and toddler.
- • He has never gotten seriously ill.
- • He first met Vincent when they were very young, when he still lived in Rexford. Vincent remembered the encounter, but he didn't until he was reminded of it.
- • He often corrected his peers as a child, which got him picked on. He still does so, but much more rarely, and only towards his friends.
- • When Tamaydın broke his sister's dollhouse, he was more upset about it than she was.
- • He is afraid of coming into his mother's laboratory. To him, the machinery and gadgets she uses are intimidatingly complicated, and he fears that something might go wrong if he touches them.
- • To add to the above, his mother's inventions scare him.
- • He once wrote a love letter to his teacher in preparatory school, but never had the courage to deliver it.
- • His teachers forced him to use his right hand to write to no avail, as they believed left-handed people were more prone to mental disorders. They still falsely attribute his manic tendencies to his left-handedness.
- • He used to wear a blue-and-white sailor suit as a child but stopped wearing it as soon as he could, as he disliked the colours and its association with childhood.
- • He has a habit of reading books under a blanket in his dorm after a long day of school, regardless of time of day.
- • Even though he likes playing sports, he finds watching them boring.
- • He has tried writing poetry, but deems them too embarrassing to show to others.
- • While he doesn't mind reading science fiction, it isn't his favourite genre. For him, no mad scientist character can compare to his own mother.
「 Family Members 」
Adem Kayhan. Ahmet's father, whom he admires. Ahmet is absolutely terrified of disappointing his father. At the same time, he can be rather envious of him, both because of his intelligence and academic achievements and because of his closeness to Gizem.
Gizem Özgül. Ahmet's mother. On one hand, Ahmet relies on her to navigate the complexities of the world (which she responds to by encouraging him to solve his own problems), but on the other hand, he's terrified of inheriting her mental health issues.
Bilge Kayhan. Ahmet's younger sister, whom he is caring and protective towards. The two of them are very close, even if they sometimes squabble. In fact, her silliness and jokes cheer him up more than anything else.
「 Extended Family Members 」
Soyer. Ahmet's paternal grandfather. Ahmet is a little intimidated by him, but values the advice he gives him.
Şeyma. Ahmet's paternal grandmother, who passed away when her was 10. When she was alive, Ahmet would ask her about tasseography, amongst other topics.
Arslan Pasha. Ahmet's maternal grandfather. Ahmet is very proud of him and what he does, and enjoys listening to him talk about his past.
Lale Hanım. Ahmet's maternal grandmother. She encourages him in his literary and academic pursuits.
Tamaydın. Ahmet's paternal uncle. Ahmet holds him in high regard, partially due to his father's influence, though he thinks his ideas on manliness are outdated.
Talat. Ahmet's paternal uncle. He appreciates his kindness, his artistic and culinary abilities, and his sense of humour.
Erman. Ahmet's paternal uncle. He greatly enjoys talking to him about mythology, culture, and literary fiction.
Tarkan. Ahmet's maternal uncle. He would teach Ahmet life lessons and talk to him about his plans whenever they meet.
Selim. Ahmet's maternal uncle. His accident-prone nature makes Ahmet slightly wary of spending time with him.
Göker. Ahmet's maternal uncle. They view each other as kindred spirits with regard to their academic interests, gloominess, and subdued personality.
Mehmet Taydemir. Erman's son and Ahmet's cousin. They used to spend a lot of time with each other until Ahmet had to move to Dristol.
「 Family Friends 」
Alison Cantor. Adem's colleague and best friend. Ahmet views them as a peer (or peer-adjacent) due to their youthful looks and personality, all while being oblivious to their extraterrestrial nature. He has a huge and rather obvious crush on them, which is something they choose to ignore.
Frances D Sutherland. Adem's colleague. Ahmet views her as childish and overly excitable, but he still shows his respect towards her.
Gaël Sutherland. Fanny's husband. Ahmet is somewhat suspicious of him, but tries to be friendly out of courtesy.
「 School Friends 」
Vincent Vanderham. Ahmet's best friend. Vincent's chaotic nature often puts him at odds with Ahmet's desire for stability and control, but nevertheless, they remain close. They usually keep each other grounded, though they engage in mischief with each other from time to time.
William Barton. A second-year student who have taken Ahmet and Vincent under his wing. William is an avid athlete, and he is always trying to get both Ahmet and Vincent to be more active. That being said, he's quite protective of the two.
Evelyn Fairchild. A fourth-year student and friend of Ahmet and Vincent. He takes his studies and extracurricular activities seriously, and often resorts to talking to Ahmet when Vincent's puerile antics exhaust him.
Christopher Spalding. Ahmet's fag-master. He chose Ahmet as a fag not only because of his boyish good looks, but also because Adem used to teach him. He often forces Ahmet to help him with his homework, but he can be nice to him on occasion.
