Kurt has a bit of a baby face, but don't be fooled, he's no baby penguin. His hair never lacks a well styled coif, and he's incredibly meticulous about his moisturizing and skincare regime. He's thin framed and lean. Kurt's very pallid and a brunette with eyes that can't decide whether they want to be blue, grey, or green.personality
Fashionista. Drama queen. Over zealous. These are just three of the words that can describe Kurt Hummel. From a young age, there was no denying Kurt's homosexuality. He's sarcastic and short tempered, but only out of self defense. Under a thick ice-queen wall, Kurt is insecure about himself and why people like him. He knows he's special, but sometimes it's hard to tell if that's what he truly believes, or it's become a fact in his head from years of saying to himself.
Kurt has many layers. He an introvert - but not shy. He hates to let himself be shown as weak and often keeps things to himself that he probably shouldn't. Although he hates how delicate it makes him look, Kurt has a problem with crying in public. He's an emotional person and feels with full intensity. He keeps large problems to himself and his only coping outlet is either a) an impressive soprano ballad, or b) letting a few tears slip.
Beneath his tough front, Kurt is funny - albeit with a dry humor- sharp tongued, and simply oozing with compassion. Sometimes dazed by his own ambitions for himself, Kurt can appear self centered. When in actuality, he cares so much about other people it's sometimes his downfall. Why? Well, he doesn't just care about people, he cares what they think of him. He aches for acceptance, but when he's told to change himself for said acceptance, you can expect the full expanse of Kurt's fury. He's only changing himself for himself.
Kurt cares very much about how others portray him. Thus sparking his love of fashion and clothing. He could tell you who was on the cover of the first issue of VOGUE faster than you could blink. With this accompanies his love of theater. He's a musical theater junkie through and through, fiercely fighting with his WICKED best friend to get out of "cookie-cutter-I'm-closed-minded" Lima, Ohio.family & history
Father: Burt Hummel
Mother: His birth mother, Elizabeth died when he was young. His step mother is Carole Hudson.
Siblings: Step-brother, Finn Hudson.
Others: Mercedes Jones, his sister from another mister.
Why can't I walk hand-in-hand down the hall with the person that I like? Kurt will fight tooth and nail to tell you that he doesn't want his sexuality to define him, but it's definitely a leading contributor. He's never met someone who didn't instantly make a judgement about him. Whether it's from his voice, his clothing, or even something so mundane as his mannerisms.
As a child, Burt Hummel knew his son was different, and not just because he could hit a high C with the best of them. From tea parties to sensible heels, Burt was supportive and compassionate. Loving his son for everything he was, or everything he wasn't. So, why wouldn't Kurt be a happy child? When he was little, his mother fell ill and passed. This broke the Hummel men. From their grieving, Kurt became very concerned with proving his worth to everyone around him, but more importantly to his father. Burt became incredibly, incredibly protective of his only boy.
School was never easy for Kurt. He can count the number of days he didn't get pushed down on the playground, or tossed pee balloons in elementary and middle school on one hand. Everyone knew what he was before Kurt did, and they hated him. Why did they all hate him? Being hurt was far too hard for Kurt, it was much easier to believe they hated him because they were jealous. They were jealous of how special he was. He was far superior in all aspects.
High school taught Kurt about life. How to be quick on his feet, verbally and physically. It was by this time that Kurt knew he was gay, oh, he was definitely gay. However, he didn't come out for most of his sophomore year at McKinley. How could he? He hoped high school would give him the chance to be liked, or hated, for who he was. Not who he loved - which, at the time, was unfortunately the star football player, go figure. Dumpster tosses and homophobic slurs became a daily occurrence. No matter how hard he tried, Kurt was physically incapable of going unnoticed. He was a "flaming magnet" or more simply, a target.
He joined Glee Club his sophomore year in the hopes to show people his star potential and show how superior he really was. That, and maybe he'd actually make a few friends. That plan turned out to be a royal disaster for the resident ice queen. The club of six sucked. Rachel Berry outshines him with her massive mouth and, oh for the love of god, her Polly Pocket ensembles. It wasn't until his knight in shining armor Finn Hudson joined Glee the things started to turn around.
Bullying was second nature to him, no one noticed anyway, but at least Kurt had Glee now. He had a place he could go every week to just escape and sing. Sure, he'd love a few more solos - he deserved them, obviously - but at least there were no dumpsters in the choir room.
Somewhere along the line Puck, Matt, and Finn stopped tossing him out like he was nothing but trash. He could due without all three of them calling him "dude", though. And the island of misfit toys that was the Glee Club became a family.
Junior year was pure hell on Kurt Hummel. Add increasing bullying to his father getting a heart attack, or the fact that somehow the bullying was his fault and you'd get a lovely picture of how the year went. Kurt closed in on himself during that year. Burdening himself with everything not only made him look stronger, but it spared everyone else from getting involved. He didn't need their pity. He became increasingly lonely as the year went on. There had to be one other gay kid in Ohio, right?
Oh, were there other gay kids.
Thanks to the closeted bully, Karofsky, Kurt met Blaine.
Kissed against his will, threatened to be killed, transferred to Dalton, got a boyfriend, sung his first solo in competition, transferred back to Mckinley, and crowned prom queen.
Ah, the life and times of Kurt E. Hummel.the roleplayer

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE:Kurt was having what he liked to call “productive day.” He had planned it all out the day before, and although it might be a tad tedious, the soprano was more than ready to take on the task. He had always been nit-picky, organized, and sometimes a little compulsive, so really when Kurt planned days like this it didn’t come as much of a surprise to anyone.
One problem. When he woke up this morning, the heavens had opened and a thick wall off water blocked his bedroom window. Rainy days always left Kurt lethargic and lazy, so instead of getting up to reorganize his closet - summer clothes moved to the front, winter in the back, it was a standard process - he wrapped a fleece blanket around his shoulders and padded to the living room couch. He folded his legs over one another and put on his standard “Why isn’t it sunny?” movie, Victor/Victoria.
