It's time for updated body information for Kapok, now that I'm happier with what I've got!
Tumblr media
In general, this is what he typically looks like. Long hair, dark eyes. But because Kapok is a gorilla faunus, he has a lot more hair than most. Not just on his chest, but on his arms and legs, as well. The best example I can give is the late R.obin W.illiams, though I am not including images here for that reason. Instead, I will use an image of the delightful D.avid Ha.sselhoff:

But built more like this:

And, of course, rather than the traditional human feet, his feet are prehensile, like a gorilla's. (The following graphic is from s.eaworld, though I do not condone them at all, it is a good image):

Though he does not know it, Kapok was born in Vacuo. His biological parents decided to put him up for adoption while he was still a baby in an attempt to do what was best for him: they were very young and couldn't afford the expenses that a baby would bring.
But when they heard an old family friend had just lost her own child in a tragic accident, they sent word to Minerva and Goldwyn. And the couple from Mistral had traveled to Vacuo, to adopt the child.
The two couples came to an agreement: even though they were friends and could keep in contact, Minerva and Goldwyn wouldn't tell Kapok that he was not their child. There was no point in confusing him, after all.
They thought they'd been protecting him, but Kapok had always had the sense that he didn't belong…., and now he knows why. He wants to try to find his birth parents, to see if they're faunus too….., or if that's why they decided to give him up.

Because of the way his feet and legs are built, it's actually a lot more comfortable for Kapok to crouch for long periods of time than it is to sit 'normally' in a chair. It's also not uncommon for him to hold things with his feet while he's doing other things. For example, he frequently holds a book in one foot, so that he can read while he's eating.
He'll usually only do that when he's on his own, though; his parents tended to discourage that sort of thing at the table.
