PELHAM PLACE, Pelham Hills, Massachusetts Employment Records NAME Kenneth Corbin Moreau NICKNAMES KC, Sunshine (family) EMPLOYMENT upper school English and nymph magical training professor/house parent for Webster Hall (2006) EDUCATION Pelham Place (1994) OLD RACE Nymph (Oceanid) FORMS n/a DETAILS As a nymph, he is most comfortable when he can have contact with a natural body of water multiple times during the course of a day and having a natural body of water within feet of where he's staying. He feels the most energized and comfortable when he has an ocean near by and he can usually feel the pull of the tides and through this has learned how to guess at the position of the moon in the sky. He has practiced to improve his strength in regards to not having contact with his element, but he still gets irritable and distracted when he’s been away from it for 24 hours and will become violently sick after 36 hours. While he doesn’t get physical comfort from non-natural water, it can ease his mental stress and discomfort. He also feels more comfortable when he is well hydrated and usually goes through 6 liters of water a day. In non-natural water, he is a natural swimmer and can hold his breath underwater longer than a normal person. In natural bodies of water, he melts into it and can travel through it quietly that way. He can also feel where all the water is once he’s in it. This melting effect also gives him a little bit of regenerative abilities, allowing him to heal fresh wounds when he reforms, however the more extreme the wound, the longer he has to stay melted and the harder it is to convince himself to come back out of the water. He can also control natural water if he has contact with it, although it is easier for him to make it move how it normally does rather than move unnaturally.

SEX male AGE 34 BIRTHDATE 3/16/1976 BIRTHPLACE Tears, Maine HEIGHT 5’10” EYE COLOR blue HAIR COLOR brown with a few grey streaks PLAYED BY Sam Tramell DISTINGUISHING FEATURES KC has a wave tattoo circling around his right calf that he got while drunk. It looks a bit worse for wear as he doesn't always remember it's there and his regenerative skills have slowly been working at healing the 'scarring'. When he's in a natural setting, he prefers to go barefoot, even if it makes him look like a hippie. His dress style tends to be loose and comfortable, usually of material that dries quickly in case he goes into the water clothes and all. He always wears an amulet on a black cord that contains water from the ocean near Maine.

FAMILY FATHER Corbin James Moreau MOTHER Ainsley Charlotte Moreau nee Kaelin BROTHER Malcolm James Moreau AGE 25 DAUGHTER Jordan Noelle Xavier AGE 16 OLD RACE Transfigurer DETAILS His parents are currently living in Seattle, WA and his brother in Groton, CT. His parents have been living in Seattle for the past 23 years. He keeps in contact with all of his family and has visited his brother more since he moved to Connecticut, but he is used to not seeing his family for years at a time due to his distaste for air travel and their schedules. While he has no issue with any of his family and loves them all dearly, he feels nervous spending too much time around them in a normal situation as he’s uncomfortable tending to his nature while in their presence, even if they have been nothing but supportive. However if his family has a gathering or trip to a beach or on a boat, he has no troubles at all, especially as they all have an affinity with the water, even if he is the only one who has manifested with traits of the old race. During his junior year at Pelham, he had a relationship with Jenny Nixon. He didn’t know it at the time, but their trysts in the water ended up with her pregnant. She came up with a story of a guy she met over the summer so that KC wouldn’t feel obligated and he didn’t find out he had a daughter until the school year of 2010-2011. RANDOM INFORMATION KC has a natural affinity to playing the guitar, oboe, and clarinet. While he can't read sheet music, he can manage to string together a tune that is pleasant to listen to. He reads a lot and would love to figure out how to get a water proof Kindle. Because of his nature, he is severely curious about what sex with another water nymph would be like, especially if it were to occur in water. Also because of his faerie nature, he has all the homework and papers of his Sidhe students looked over by one of the other English teachers as well to make sure that his grading is fair.

HISTORY KC was born in the small fishing town of Tears in the Downeast region of Maine on a blustery day in March. Corbin Moreau was a fisherman, just like his father before him, and the sea was such a part of his family’s life that he and his wife never thought it odd that their first born son was so interested in being as close to the water as he could get. It wasn’t until one visit to the beach when KC was three that they realized their boy was different. All three of them were playing in the ocean when somehow KC slipped from their hands. They couldn’t understand how it happened as he wasn’t ripped from their grips by a current, his hands had simply been there and the next moment they weren’t and no matter how much they searched they couldn’t find him. They were certain he had drowned, swept out to see by an undercurrent, but luckily they didn’t even have time for the grief to fully set in. A few hours later, they received a very confused call from the National Park service over at Acadia National Park. A sightseeing family had come across the three year old wandering about the rocks near Thunder Hole and had taken him to the visitor’s center nearby when they realized his parents weren’t anywhere around. The rangers at first didn’t believe that the child’s story about where his parents were was true, but when the parents arrived after a nearly 3 hour drive, they didn’t know what else to think. His parents took their boy home and a few days letter they received a government stipend for any inconvenience that the run in with the park service may have caused them. They figured it was a pay off in order to stop them from suing the park because it looked as if they wouldn’t give them KC back for a bit and didn’t think much of it. After all, any extra money was good money, especially with a young boy to care for. His parents had a few more scary moments of watching KC in a lake or river go under for far too long, but each time he came out perfectly alright and more confused at his parents’ anxiety than by his underwater experience. While they didn’t keep their son fully away from water, they stopped going to beaches right on the ocean, the legends of mermaids and other sea sprites ingrained too much into Corbin’s head to let him risk possibly losing his son permanently to the sea. When they were contacted about the school in Massachusetts for children like their son, they were relieved as they were coming to realize with preschool that normal schooling might be difficult considering the moods the young boy would get into since he couldn’t go outside whenever he wanted anymore. They were a bit wary of course about sending their son so far away, but once they saw the school, they were easily convinced. KC started at Pelham when he was 4 and commuted for a couple of years, his parents picking him up and driving him home for the holidays. When his father’s fishing business started to suffer and it became hard to keep the house in Maine, his parents moved down to Pelham Hills to live closer to their son, especially since KC really enjoyed the school, even if it wasn’t the same as his home in Maine. The move took awhile for everyone to get used to though, never having lived so far from the ocean and the way of life there and where they fit in. They hadn’t really been planning on another child, but a little over a year later, KC’s little brother Malcolm was born. At first they worried that they might have another nymph on their hands as Malcolm was as interested in the water as KC was when he was little, but even as the years went on, Malcolm didn’t show any sort of the powers that KC did. As the years went on too, KC’s father got more and more anxious about their working situation. He started looking around for jobs and when he got a fishing job in Seattle, the whole family moved out there. KC kept attending Pelham considering that the school in California would require a plane ride to get to easily anyways. At first, he spent all vacations at home, but the stress of the flights to and fro quickly became too much and one after another he spent more and more vacations at school. When a school in Washington opened when he was 14, they considered transferring him, but he only has 4 years left and had made friends at the Pelham school that he stayed on there. When KC graduated from Pelham, he originally hadn’t been planning on staying on there. Instead he started on a road trip he’d planned to get him home to Seattle. He quickly realized though that even bus and train travel wasn’t comfortable for him. While the stops and on board services made travel comfortable for most of the passengers, he found himself pushed to his limits considering how hard it was to find places to stop that had natural water formations. He managed to make it to Chicago, but he couldn’t manage to get himself back onto a bus or train after getting to see such a large body of water after so long. He gave up on his road trip and instead started to make his way back to Pelham by his own means, following the Great Lakes and rivers to the Atlantic and ending up on the coast of Maine where he was able to get transportation back inland. Returning to Pelham, he started post graduate work, mainly focusing on testing out his own limitations and how to strengthen himself if he were to be kept away from his element. It soon dawned on him that staying at Pelham wasn’t a bad thing because even if it wasn’t near the ocean, it was home to him both in setting and in the people. He was happy to still be around his friends from the younger years and to watch them graduate and he slowly started to help with teaching English classes as he always excelled in that matter and enjoyed reading. He also helped out the water nymphs with what he learned about himself and would try and help out any of the other students as well whenever they needed it. When they opened up the Old Race program in a normal New York City school in 2004, KC went to help with the matter. His knowledge of the Old Races was extensive enough from all his years of living at the school that he felt he could probably help any of them at the school. NYC was on the water too, so it shoudn’t be that bad, especially with his training. He was disappointed though to realize that a good deal of the lakes and ponds in the city weren’t properly connected with the earth, leaving him mainly with the rivers to rely on as well as weekend trips to a proper beach. He also hadn’t been anticipating how the pollution in the water would affect him. Living in the city took its toll on him healthwise and it took a good deal of his energy to not let the grumpiness of being unable to get a proper connection to water overpower him. The fact that the anti-Old Race groups weren’t happy about Old Race children attending normal schools didn’t help his level of irritation either. He did his best to be a good example of the Old Race to his students and the community, but one day when he was leaving the school with a few other teachers, they ran into a protest outside the school. Even though he knew he should just ignore them, he went over and tried to reason with the group and get them to vacate peacefully, hopefully better educated on the matter. However when they realized what he was, KC found himself quickly on the end of a punch and one of his fellow teachers launching themselves at his attacker. The police were called in and everyone taken into the station. KC quickly realized though that the officers on duty were more willing to believe the protesters though, especially with the stories they had made up about what he had done to them. He wasn’t released until late the next morning and had to go straight to the school as he was already late. He barely made it through the school day and needed the help of a fellow teacher to get to the river as he doubted he could make it by himself. It was a wake up call in the same way that his road trip had been. He soldiered on through the rest of the year before resigning from his job. After setting the paperwork right and talking to Pelham, he used the money he had saved up over the years to rent a boat and spent nearly a year on the open sea to recuperate. When he came back, he spent a few months living with his brother in Connecticut before heading back up to Pelham to continue his personal research and teaching English.
