Kwan - 20 yr old Thief

Kim Kwan. Down on his luck college drop out, family outcast, petty thief, and virgin.

Kwan is a petite and effeminate young half Korean man who is regularly mistaken for a girl. He is just an inch over five foot tall and his dishevelled black hair hangs down past his shoulders. He has unique silver gray eyes and a slim delicate features.

Kwan was born and raised in South Korea to a strict traditional family. He was conceived during his mother's wild and drunken bachelorette party. Her friends had hired her an American stripper and things got out of hand. No one had a clue until the day he was born. He had it rough growing up. His Korean father harbored a deep resentment of him and his mother was ashamed of how he had come to be.

Despite his strict home life, or maybe because of it, Kwan began to stray from the straight and narrow. He was forever getting into trouble for no apparent reason. Trespassing, shoplifting, minor vandalism, and other such misdemeanors. Never enough to actually be arrested and charged, but enough to annoy his exasperated parents. They couldn't understand why he couldn't behave like his well behaved brother and sister, they inevitably blamed his foreign half.

Kwan was clever and resourceful. He had been able to track down the identity of his biological father and eventually even find out where the man lived. His father had moved back to the States not long after conceiving Kwan. After he had graduated he had applied to a college in the United States and been accepted. His parents fought him bitterly on it, telling him he didn't have nearly enough money to support himself in a foreign country. This was true, but he had no real intention on staying in college for very long. It was just an excuse to get away. In their frustration his family laid down an ultimatum...leave and he would be out of the family forever. He left the next day.

Kwan found his father to discover he wanted nothing to do with effeminate looking young man. The man had just been married and was starting a family. He was respectable now, his stripper days were far behind him. He didn't want Kwan messing things up for him. An arrangement was made. His father would help him get his citizenship and then they would go their separate ways. A year later Kwan is now a citizen and scraping up a living as best he can. He was alone, he had dropped out of college, his English was passable but far from perfect, and he hadn't given up his light fingered tendencies. It seemed just a matter of time until Kwan found some trouble.
