Hair: Black hair with a white "skunk stripe" down the middle, usually styled into a pompadour, almost always has a thin mustache and/or a few scruffy chin hairs

Eyes:Black and quite wide

Build: Short and thin with pretty much no muscle definition, and has a fair amount of body hair.

Scars/Body Modifications/Other distinguishing features: One gold earring in each ear.

Clothing: He likes the "greaser" look, and almost always wears cuffed jeans, t-shirts (white, black, or grey), and a black leather jacket when it's colder. Occasionally wears flannel shirts (short or long sleeved) as well. Always wears a necklace with a gold crucifix, which belonged to his mom.

Disposition: Usually a laid back and happy-go-lucky type of person, Kelley can easily find a way to fit in and find common ground with pretty much anyone, and likes to just go with the flow most of the time. He'd much rather play the role of the sidekick rather than be the one in charge. Neither shy nor especially talkative, he has a fairly easy time making conversation with people and generally doesn't try to He’s also a bit of a hopeless romantic and develops crushes on people very easily, for things as simple as showing him the slightest amount of kindness. He has issues with self-esteem and an intense fear of abandonment, and because of this he gets quite attached to the people he's closest to, and becomes tense/angry with them if he gets the sense they're going to "leave him." (Whether in a romantic or platonic sense.)

Mannerisms: He tends to grin a lot, whether he's actually happy or not, with his smile looking a lot more phony & uncomfortable when he isn't in a good mood. His facial expressions are quite animated (especially his eyebrows!) and his moods are usually easy to read. His posture while in public comes across as a bit nervous/shifty (particularly when he's alone), possibly as a result of growing up in a bad neighborhood, and if he's not smoking a cigarette he prefers to keep his hands in his pockets.

Voice: He sounds pretty much like what you would expect him to: a John Travolta in the Grease movie sort of voice XD, though his is a little bit deeper, and he has a thick Brooklyn accent. (Says "th" sounds as a "d"...like "dat" instead of "that" and such.)

Kelley was born and raised for the first half of his life in New York city. He realized from a young age that he was unwanted, having been the result of a horrible night his mother would rather forget. And after losing her to suicide he was left in the care of his aunt, who saw him as a constant reminder of his despicable father. Throughout most of his childhood he was passed around among members of her family to be temporarily taken care of, never living in the same place for too long. It made him angry and he acted out, ending up hanging out with some older, "bad kids", and often getting into trouble. By his preteen years they had had enough, and in 1985 were able to make contact with Romeo, the only available member of his father's side of the family. Much to their surprise he was willing to take him in and Kelley was sent off to Los Angeles to live with him. He "mellowed out" and quit misbehaving so much once he had a more stable place to live, and soon met and befriended Maverick at school.
