Background
Kyle is a young skateboarder that's recently moved to Seattle. The son of a tattoo artist and vet from southern Texas, his childhood was unusual to say the least. Things got even weirder when he contracted lycanthropy from a seductive exchange student. Weirder still when his best friend/long time crush discovered that she was prophesied to join an ancient monster hunter society. He helped her defend your town and somehow made it to graduation. Later, Kyle went to live with his aunt in Louisiana to attend undergrad studies. After a few semesters (and a bit of trouble), he decided to go to Seattle to watch over Cass. She doesn't know he's in the city, and he plans on keeping it that way for as long as possible. He's started working at a vet's office. They let him crash in the back room in exchange for taking care of the animals and cleaning up. It's not glamourous, but it brings back memories of time with his mom as a kid, so it's alright.
