eye colour; Hazel
hair colour; Dark brown

clothing style; Keegan's style isn't really all that unique, or eye-popping in any way. You could probably define it by looking at samples of the old nineties grunge style. He likes flannel shirts and most small, form-fitting hoodies. Since he only stands at about 5'7" he's pretty skinny. To compliment that, he usually has on some type of skinny jeans. Keeg also owns a lot of muggle band t-shirts, though half of the wizarding world probably has never heard of them.
what i really meant to say[/font][/blockquote]
is that i'm sorry for the way i am.
good traits;
witty;; One thing that Keegan is proud of (and can actually brag about without being a compulsive liar) is that he's fantastic at come backs. If you have something to say to him, usually he quipps back with something a thousand times more sly and cunning that will make you sound like a complete moron. Sometimes he may act like a stupid asshole, but he's pretty smart, and that's the time those wits kick in.
protective;; For Keegan, he was never really close to his family. So when anyone severly important in his life pops up, he's way overprotective of them. He can get quite nasty when somebody happens to mess with someone Keegan loves. At a moment's notice he can be up on his toes, ready to defend anything or anyone he seemingly is fighting for.
flaws;
arrogant;; Obviously this characteristic proves Keegan to be a true Slytherin. Luckily, this side doesn't show all that often, but when it does you can definitely tell he belongs in the house of the snake. He can be a tad boastful about things, or just plain vain sometimes. If he gets into an arguement, he usually assumes he's right. Sometimes it can make him seem a little big-headed but hey, what Slytherin isn't full of themselves?
liar, liar;;[/i] Like any slytherin, when Keegan knows what he wants, he'll stop at nothing to get it. Most of the time though, the only method he chooses to use is lying. And yet again, most of the time, that method seems to work amazingly well for him. Keegan could probably talk rings around you, if he happened to be lying. He has a quick mind that can think up a fantastic fib in a matter of nanoseconds. It does get him into trouble quite a lot, but he's fairly good at the sport.[/size]
habits;
bottle it up;; In no way does Keegan like expressing his emotions. He has this really bad habit of letting things bottle up and brew over time. Usually he finds some harmful, self-inflicting way to deal with all the emotional chaos in his head. Not good, he knows, but that's how he was taught to deal with things ever since he was a little boy.
quirks;; So the only quirky thing about Keegan is that he tends to play with his snake bites a lot. Much of the time, it's only when he's bored or nervous. But sometimes when he's sort of smitten, he gets nervous or embarrassed and begins to fidget with them more than he realizes.
three words to sum up your character;
- sly
- impulsive
- rebellious

and i can't go there.
place of birth; Netherlands
date of birth; May 12th
brief history; Unfortunately, Keegan doesn't know to much about his family history. He was born and raised in the Netherlands with his mother and two half-siblings. His mother never spoke of his father, and Keegan didn't dare ask anything she didn't want brought up. So his childhood life was filled with longing and knowledge; he waited to one day grow up and hopefully know what happened to his birth father.
As time went on, Keegan grew and eventually starting asking questions and dredging up old memories about his father. His mother simply didn't want to talk about it, and gave him only one helpful hint of information: his father's name. From there on, Keeg took the search upon himself. He dug up as much info as he could about Gregory Slayter, and ended up tracking the man down in the outskirts of London. But it wasn't good news that he heard.
Keeg was now filled with the knowledge that his father was already married (and had been for quite sometime) and had simply had a hit it and quit it night with his mother when he was called upon business in the Netherlands one night. He simply hated the fact that his father hadn't stayed or bothered to make contact with Keegan for any of these years. And what was worse, the man had another family. That night Keeg learned of another half-brother he had, a certain Draven Slayter.
Gregory Slayter was severly ill, however, and died shortly after being visited by both Draven and Keegan (yeah, at the same time; it was a pretty bizzare mix up). Keegan's mother back home was taking a new path in her life, and decided to begin traveling, without Keegan's knowledge. The woman had sold her house without her son's notice and Keeg had nowhere to go. He reluctantly turned to his half-brother Draven (since he was the only one who lived near Hogwarts) and ended up coming back home with him.
In no way does Keeg feel close to his brother. To him, Drave and himself are total opposites. Keegan tries to sympathize with Draven's situation (after all, Draven was closer to their father than Keegan was) and also learned that Draven's mother was in a coma. Though he would much rather be back at his own house, Drave's was the only alternative other than living on the streets.
