↳ he was shot in 1941 , although it took around a year or two to finally decide to put him into the pod . kurt was put in with his uniform on , with his family photos and letters , which there wasn't many of due to the limited amount of letters and things allowed out if germany at the time .
↳ if he had the choice , kurt would go back into the military for as long as he could . although with his problems with his legs , the man knows he most likely wouldn't even get in . the military was all he's ever known , it being all he really did for the majority of his life . he left germany at seventeen and went straight into the american army . without thar in his life , he has to try to fill that gap with something else .
↳ before joining the howling commandos , richardson had already served twenty - two years in the army . having joined as soon as he came to america when he was seventeen . it was a struggle to get him , accent being obvious and sone of the people assuming he was a nazi spy . after months of interrogation , he was allowed to join as long as he had someone constantly watching him for the first year . after that first year , he was deemed not a spy but was still wiped from nor nonexistent on all records .
↳ despite whatever lies kurtis tells those around him , he's a complete virgin . he never had time for any sexual relations , even when he wanted to : it was mostly with men , which was not as accepting as it is nowadays .
↳ his gender identity is something he holds very close and private , due to being afraid of judgement . while feeling more feminine , they go by 'k' . k has dysphoric moments weekly which ends in her going quiet along with brooding , on occasion even locking herself away .
↳ kurt does not find the appeal of strong alcohol or cigarettes . the only alcohol he drinks is wine , specifically rosé , due to the taste of thicker or stronger drinks reminding him too much of the war . bring him a nice bottle of rosé and chocolate covered strawberries , you'll have him to love you forever .
↳ one of his favorite hobbies is baking and cooking , it having been a rule in the richardson family in germany that by the age of 12 : you could be able to cook the essentials . kurtis loved cooking and baking with his parents and grandmother , those being done of his best memories before he left for america .
↳ kurtis sings more soften than you believe , it mostly being too quiet or too soft to audibly hear . the songs he sings are a mix of songs from his childhood or tunes he'd hear at the stork club . although in the year he's been back , kurt has gotten into some musical theatre . the musical 'anastasia' being his favorite , it having the song he sings to calm himself down if he's having a panic attack .
↳ his homelessness isn't something he's very open about , thinking he deserves to be in the shelters rather than bothering people for help . mainly sleeping on a bench in central park or in the shelter .
