Profile

Appearance

In Headspace, Kel wears a colorful tank top covered in multicolored squares. Like the other Headspace party members, he does not wear socks or shoes and his hair and eyes are purple.

In the real world, Kel appears to be older and taller than his younger Headspace counterpart. He has brown hair and olive skin. He also wears an orange basketball shirt with white lines.

Personality

Kel is very competitive by nature, always wanting to win games or races. He regularly argues with Aubrey. Even though he is loud and likes to annoy his friends, he genuinely cares about and protects them.

Background

Kel was born on November 11th to his unnamed parents. He has an older brother named Hero and a younger sister named Sally.

Since they were children, Kel and his family lived directly besides Sunny's House. He, Sunny, Mari, Hero, Aubrey, and Basil were close friends and spent much of their time together. After the death of Mari, the group drifted apart and his brother left for college.

Story

Normal Route

Day 1

Kel is the one to initially coax Sunny out of leaving his house, possibly for the first time in four years. Him and Sunny explore Faraway Town, eventually becoming motivated to help Basil, who seems to be bullied by Aubrey and The Hooligans, the former of which has stolen Basil's Photo Album. They confront Aubrey at the Church and are able to retrieve the Photo Album after they see her throwing it away. They return the album to Basil and have dinner with him before returning home that night.

Day 2

The second day is spent with Kel and Sunny preparing for Hero's return home from college, gathering up various items and returning them to Kel's Mom. Afterward, Kel and Sunny are approached by Polly who tells them that Basil has gone missing and asking them to find him for her. They go to the park, where they can hear Basil yelling for help from their secret hideout area that they used to visit before Mari's death. They enter the area to find Basil seemingly being tormented by Aubrey and The Hooligans.

The Hooligans fight Kel and Sunny, and regardless of the outcome decide to leave. Kel berates Aubrey for bullying Basil and an enraged Aubrey pushes Basil into the lake. Sunny dives in to save Basil, but is unable to swim, being saved by Hero, who came after Kel's mom told him what happened. Kel, Sunny, and Hero take Basil back to his house. Afterwards, the trio heads over to Kel's House for dinner. Kel and Hero then decide to spend the night at Sunny's House to make sure Sunny doesn't feel lonely during his final day at Faraway Town.

Day 3

On Day 3, Kel and Hero wake up before Sunny and do all of his chores for him. The three eat breakfast, and Kel answers a knock at the door, furious to see that it is Kim, one of the Hooligans. Kim states that she is worried because Aubrey won't leave her house, so the three head into Aubrey's House to see what is wrong. They go to Aubrey's room, where Kel and Aubrey argue until Hero intervenes. The two apologize to each other, and Aubrey adds the missing photos of Mari back into the Photo Album. Aubrey joins the party and the group heads to Basil's house, where Polly tells them he is visiting his grandmother at the hospital. The group visits their old treehouse and reminiscence the happier days of their childhood. Later that evening, they eventually return to Basil's house, only to find out that Basil has locked himself in his room. They decide to have a sleepover, planning to talk to him in the morning.
