Kyle, Prince Of Amber
The time is just at the edge of dusk, and the first phantom stair of Tir is beginning to appear. Kyle is wearing black leather pants and boots, trimmed with copper, and a copper shirt covered with a short black cape. His hair is long, flowing down like a garment, and of a coppery color, the hue almost metallic. His eyes stare at the viewer inscrutably, and they are amber colored. His features are as fine as porcelain; the face is almost feminine in its beauty. He is almost six feet tall, thin and fine boned with small hands and feet. In his right hand, Kyle holds a large goblet, from which energy or iridescent vapors rise. His left hand rests on the hilt of a finely made katana.
- "It is hard when you are hated before you were even born."
- Larissa to Percy on why Kyle acts as he does.
Kyle- The Damned (225 pt version)
- "Kyle? As if being the son of Brand wasn't a warning sign to the family, he pulls a stunt like putting Julian to sleep in the middle of dinner. One of these days, someone is going to conclude that the universe is better off without him."
- --Malachi
Imagine having distrust thrown at you from all sides all the time, then you might understand Kyle's life. Everyone from Random to the lowliest servant in amber questions Kyle and his motives on everything. If Kyle does something kind people wonder what he gains from it for he certainty wouldn't do it from the kindness of his heart. If Kyle screws up in some way or does something cruel then it is because he is his fathers son. It would be better to be a chaosite visiting amber then to be Kyle; you would be treated with more respect and kindness. The elders better be careful for if they don't start to take Kyle as he is and not as Brand's son, then Kyle may just "live up" to their low expectations and truly try to bring about amber's downfall.

Tips For Playing Kyle:
Kyle masks his hurt and sense of abandonment under a mask of revelry and devil may care attitude. Nothing can get Kyle down, he is out to have fun and cause a little excitement along the way. If he steps on a few toes or bruises a few ego's along the way, too bad. If anyone shows Kyle the slightest inclination of caring about him he will lap it up like a starved dog and keep coming back for more.
Kyle as a Father:
Kyle is to busy trying to stay alive to have time to take care of any children. He is hardly in the position to start a family. He wouldn't want them treated by his amber relatives as he is at the moment. He would wait to start a family until his position in the family is much better or until he can protect them more fully. If he did have a child he would keep them far from amber and show them the love he never received.
Kyle As A Player In The Games Of The Amber Court:
Kyle doesn't really have time for the games in the amber court. Whether he tries to manipulate anyone or not everyone assume he is up to no good so for the most part he tries to stay out of the political intrigues and power plays if for no other reason then to save his life. If a person suspects you are up to no good they might kill you, if they know you are up to no good they will kill you.
Constant Allies and Enemies:
Kyle has numerous enemies and few allies. Kyle can count on his brother Luke and his cousin Larissa to stand by his side in trouble and perhaps Shannon more recently. Other then that he doesn't have anyone to turn to in times of trouble. As for enemies it might be better to ask, "who isn't one?
