hello all, i’m jamie ( they/them ), and i’m here with a rather old and treasured baby of mine, koby. i’m going to write some quick phahahaha facts about them beneath the cut, but their full stats can be found here for anyone who’s interested! also i’m up for all the plots and connections i can get, so shoot me a message or give this a like and we can get this show on the road.
jakob lukas braune, though 99% of the time they go by koby. they’re agender and very open about it, using only they/them pronouns as that’s what makes them the most comfortable. they’ll understand people slipping on first glance, but they won’t take too kindly to those who choose to be ignorant toward it.
home life was pretty great for the first few years of koby’s life -- loving parents and a twin sibling that they adored. it wasn’t until they were a little older that shit hit the fan and news of their father’s affair came to light.
their father was a very rich man, and in the divorce their mother got half of everything, which was enough to establish their new life away from him as he went about starting a new family. koby has not seen or spoken to him since, though they’re vaguely aware that they have half siblings.
extremely close to their mother and sibling and have been all their life, although it became strained during their teen years.
struggling with the anger of what their father had done to their family, along with trying to settle into a new environment, rebuilding connections and trying to fit in amongst their peers, things in high school did not go well for koby.
their gender and sexuality was usually a target for other students, and on top of that, they’d yet to come to terms with the idea themself. their mother was very understanding and kind, but she could only protect them in the safety of their four walls.
fights were a regular part of koby’s day to day life, a necessity, though it only made things worse.
age 16, koby took up an apprenticeship at a local tattoo parlour. of course they were too young to do much of anything, so they made coffee, they cleaned up, and they got to know like minded people. they built a home away from home, a haven.
by age 18 when koby could begin practising the art of tattooing, they’d begun to accept and embrace themself and a sense of calm and clarity came over them with it.
they knuckled down, worked hard, and now own their very own tattoo parlour 6 years later.
they’re nothing like the angry, troubled child that life tried to chew up and spit out. they’ve learned how to channel their emotions in healthy ways, nose tucked into books with incense burning sweetly in the background, soft melodic music and of course a good cup of herbal tea.
they have a great gentleness about them, a calm aura that surrounds them and embraces those around them.
they still get dysphoric from time to time, particularly when their body doesn’t fit into the sorts of clothes they’d like to wear because they’re shaped to fit that societies ideas of a cis-female body, but they have coping mechanisms and for the most part can see their body as nothing but a home to who they are on the inside and will decorate it very androgynous.
they’re very friendly, always honest, and would do just about anything for anyone to an extent. they do enjoy time alone and can be relatively private, though a good run or an afternoon spent walking and drinking in the outdoors can work wonders to bring a smile back to their face.
