History & Personality

Kortland comes from a long line of famous people. His paternal grandfather is the famous Tony Stark and his maternal grandfather was Jimi Hendrik.

His father followed in his grandfather's footsteps and became the chief engineer at Stark Industries soon taking over when Tony retired. His early life was spent in his father's laboratory before graduating to his own at the age of six. He graduated from MIT at the age of 11 a full four years before his father did.

His mother however didn't follow after her father as she seen what the music business did to her father. She ran from the industry, till she was in a car accident and was in a leg cast for 3 months. With nothing to do she picked up her father's Gibson Flying V and started playing. It was like magic. She found a love for music she never allowed herself to have. And within a year she was a platinum selling artist with 4 Grammy under her belt.

When Marcus was 27 and Harlem was 24 they met in Toyko, Japan. She was on tour with U2 and he had Backstage VIP status since one of the companies owned by Stark Industry was producing the show. They met in the VIP room and Marcus was hooked. Harlem was used to the music business right now and didn't place much in his advances. It took him two years to even get a date. He proposed to her six months after their first date and she said no. He would propose once a month for another year before she accepted.

Kortland was born 5 years after the couple was married. He was rock star royalty before he could blink. His baby picture from the hospital went for 1.5 million. Though his mom toured a lot she never went anywhere with out Kort on her hip. When he was 3 years old his mother was inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame and she retired so that Kort could spend more time with his father. That same year the little tyke appeared in concert with his mom on her farewell tour and he brought the house down. The album would go triple platinum. Music was something he liked doing but he didn't love it like his mother. He would put down his guitar when he mother retired and he followed after his dad to find his passion. He was thrown into the Stark world and that's where he really blossomed.

Though he could rebuild an engine by the time he was 8 years old he drifted from the family norm and got interested in medicine. He built a mechanical lung at the age of 10, his father is further perfecting the original design.

The family was living in Berlin, Germany when an owl swooped into the sun room and dropped a letter in Kortland's lap. The whole family was stunned, but excited over the opportunity for the young Stark. He zoomed of to Hogwarts and had a blast. He was sorted into Gryffindor and fell in love with Quidditch and potions. In his second year he made chaser for the team and lead them to the Quidditch Cup with a record number of goals made. He was appointed president of the Young Potioneers Society when he was 13. In his fifth year he was prefect and captain of the Quidditch team. And he was awarded the Order of Merlin second class in his sixth year for his work with dragon venom. He was Head Boy his 7th year and received all 12 of his N.E.W.T.s

After leaving Hogwarts he went back to MIT and got his degree and then went to Cairo University for further study in healing. His specialty is plant and potion poisoning and magical bug bites.

Personality

Kort is a product of his upbringing. He is cocky and totally arrogant. There isn't anything he doesn't know and there isn't anything he can't do. And the truly believes that. It's not a front or bravado, he honestly believes he is that smart and that talented and unfortunately for everyone else he is. He is brash and impulsive always rushing into the fray and jumping into anything and everything. In social and public scenes he doesn't think before he speaks nor acts and he loves to be the center of attention. He was an expert at posing for pictures by the time he was 5. He loves being Kortland and if he could come back and do it all over again he would want to be himself.

He has never been in love just because he's never slowed down enough to get to know someone that deep to fall in love. He receives fan mail and things like that, but he doesn't take it seriously. He knows those girls don't really know the real Kortland they just see his famous family. He won't lie and say he doesn't enjoy the mail however. Everyone needs to enjoy the little things in life.

He loves fast cars and expensive thrills, he likes living life on the edge. Though his mother hates it. He cliff dives and sky dives and he is a big fan of the X-Games. Shaun White is his favorite by far and he has been taking lessons for the Gold medalist.

He grew up in a happy home. Both of his parents loved each other and they loved him. He was totally spoiled and he doesn't understand the word no. No one has ever said it to him more than once. He is hardworking and not afraid to get his hands dirty. He is usually in his lab with his elbows deep in his experimental potions anyways.
