Kyle’s normal day to day appearance is rather messy. His hair is a bit longer than what could be considered neat and is normally never tamed past the bedhead stage. His clothing, while never disgustingly unwashed or anything like that, tends to show the signs of the wear and tear of someone who spends most of their time outdoors and he rarely goes out of his way to replace them. So a sun faded t-shirt and ragged shorts are definitely not out of the question for him. The only things normally on him that seem well kept are his backpack and his shoes. Looks-wise, he’s rather middle of the road. Not extremely attractive but not unattractive either.

Kyle Branton was born and raised in Stephens County Georgia to a family of 5: His mother and father, his older sister and his older brother. All in all he had a good childhood, not many of the problems that a lot of children have with their family. His father worked in the forest service and his mother was a teacher. Due to both his brother (10 years older than him) and his sister (5 years older than him) being teenagers at some point during his childhood, he managed to get away with quite a bit. He was never extremely close to either of them, being more of a loner and an introvert than the two extroverts, but they were never mean or unpleasant to him. They just didn't share his interests. Most of his free time was spent running around in the local forested and mountainous areas, just enjoying himself as much as he possibly could. Sometimes he would leave for hours and not return well after sundown, something his mother hated. Other than that though, he lived a pretty much normal life as a bit of a wild child, but there was nothing particular special about him. He was a bit quiet, a bit withdrawn and a bit weird, but there was nothing out of the normal for a child to have those kinds of personality traits.

He went to school like any normal child, was particularly bright, and eventually made his way through all of the years of secondary education and in to college. That is what brought him to Atlanta. While his parents couldn't afford to send him to a private school, there were plenty of public schools to choose from. He applied to Georgia state and managed to get in. He chose Atlanta primarily because it was one of his favorite cities and he loved the nearby forested area. His primary career choice was actually in library science; however that required him to get through undergraduate school first. During that time, he dabbled in various subjects to get his degree and ended up taking up a hobby in art. He is finishing up his Art and English double major currently, his last year this coming year at 21 years of age.

He spends most of his free time either working on his artwork or out in the forest these days. He has generally found himself to be a capable climber and spelunker and has joined a school club that focuses on these in order to keep up with his old hobbies.

He was one of the many people who lived through the blizzard of 2011. While a few of his acquantinces passed away in the blizzard, no one that he personally knew very well did. Of course, that’s not exactly hard, considering the fact that his entire college career was primarily spent by himself or out hiking in the forests near the city. So when a few people didn’t show up for class the next semester, it wasn’t a huge bother to him. He hadn’t really known them at all.

This summer, Kyle is spending his summer in Atlanta in order to enjoy the wilderness the year before his final year so that he can go straight in to the job market once he is finished. So, he is basing himself out of his apartment and spending most of his free time just doing what he wants. He currently has a part time job with the college's library system and uses that to get both rent and spending money, but has saved up from working during the school year to not have to afford a full time job.
