Kale Median

Kale Median is the son of Police Chief Kale Median Snr and, like his father, joined the Graal Metropolitan Police Department where he holds the rank of sergeant. As sergeant he is the leader of a unit, in which is Lestus Kyte. Kale is one of the very few police officers of Graal that is unwavering in his sense of righteousness, while the rest of the force is steeped in corruption. Lestus often comments that only Kale's father keeps the unit safe from retribution.

Standard
Kale Median is 1.7m tall, white human with dark brown hair that's unkempt and slightly long. To the right side of his head he has a long, thin braid that drops below chin-length. He has a youthful appearance with light brown eyes.

He wears a thick, cotton jacket of dark red freckled with black that has an elongated front that comes down in two long triangles and comes up around the rear to the waist. The jacket has a large, wide hood and a strap of silk to tie the jacket with. There are no buttons or other fastenings aside from the single strap. He has a thin, breathable long-sleeved shirt under his jacket that is coloured beige. Around his neck is a scarf of thin material that is tie-dyed a plethora of colours. He has muddied white trousers and a pair of dark brown, solid combat boots that are laced up.

Graal Metropolitan Police Department
When he was a sergeant for the Graal Metropolitan Police Department, Kale had to wear the uniform of a sergeant. The uniform is entirely black in colour and is pieced in trousers, leather boots and a coat. The coat has fasteners across the torso in a column and is high-collared. Over this he has a cape. The outfit comes complete with a cap, which bears an insignia at the front.

Personality
Kale believes in honesty and morality above all things. Many in Graal, including his friends, consider him to be naïve while his father looks on this with pride; seeing his son as the man he failed to be. Being brought up under the guidance of the law, Kale does have a strong sense of justice but this can be overridden when the law conflicts with the well-being of other people. He has a strong sense of duty to people depending on him and will go to great lengths to ensure that duty is fulfilled, even at personal expense. However his generous nature often conflicts with the requirements of managing and maintaining his mercenary outfit. Much of his morality was taught to him by his mother, Shana Knight. Due to her emotional distance, he always sought her approval and went to great lengths to abide by her standards. As they became increasingly estranged, Kale didn't recognise that his personality had been so much shaped by her. His father was also a positive force on Kale as Kale Median Snr appeared to be a man of respect, duty and passion. He was prone to taking Kale on adventures, such as camping and fishing, and his influence naturally steered Kale towards joining the Graal Metropolitan Police Department - which earnt him his father's pride. The corrupt, dark side of his father was always hidden away from the young Kale.

Police Sword
The police sword he carried as an officer is standard issue for all Graal officers. It is very straight and has no guard. It courses with electrical current and the sword is often used like a baton or as a blade when necessary.

Ice Sword
Kale has a sword where the blade is made of ice and is gently curved. The handle is brown with a wide guard.

History
Kale Median was born son of Kale Median Snr and Shana Knight but after his father had an affair with Ursa Tudor of Tudor's Premier Bank, Kale's parents' relationship slowly broke down until it finally ended. After their split Kale rarely saw his mother and was largely raised by his father. Like his father Kale entered the Graal Metropolitan Police Department where he excelled. Kale had been raised as an honest and righteous boy in a corrupt world and was only protected from the wrath of less honest officers due to his father being the Chief of Police.

He was promoted to sergeant at a remarkably young age and put in charge of his own unit. Within that unit was Lestus Kyte, a pessimist and antagonistic man that would often act as a reality check for Kale during their few short months together. They did, however, come to rely on each other heavily and their friendship prompted them both to be better for the benefit of the other.
