 Basics; Username: Cat/ catpettingparty Character Name: Kenneth Devin Washington Date Of Birth: 10.17.1994 Assigned Gender: Male Identifies as: Male Preferred Pronouns: He/Him Age: 23 Sexuality: Straight Appearance; Height: 5'10" Weight: 170 lbs Body Type: Muscular and Athletic Additional Image References;  | Skills; Kenneth got his LTC in Flordia when he turned 18 to protect himself while on tour with people he didn't know. He is very handy with a double action revolver and is able to hit a bulls eye from 20 feet away. Kenneth owns six revolvers; He keeps one tucked under his mattress, one under the seat of his car, one in a safe above his refrigerator, one that he hid in Kimberly's house behind her PS4 in a small latched box, and the other two are tucked away in a safety deposit box at the bank down town. Kenneth learned how to use throwing knives when he traveled to Russia while on tour. He's much better with a revolver, but under a sober mind he can effectively hit a bulls eye 4 out of 5 times with the blades. He owns only one set of 6 red metallic throwing knives which he has framed in a shadow box over his TV. Kenneth can skateboard very well, and though he owns a nice car actually prefers to travel by skating. He owns a plethora of boards, many hanging on the walls of his home, and is able to pick up a stranger's board and use it just as well. Pros And Cons; PRO Courageous [+/-] Kenneth has been on his own since he was 18. Between growing up in fame's spotlight and caring for his younger sister he had to have a lot of perpetual courage. Ken isn't scared to tackle tough or intimidating situations, even if the outcome looks bad. PRO Streetwise [+/-] Ken has traveled all over the world skateboarding for BlackLabel Co. He's had a lot of experience in a lot of different terrains and cultures. He's typically on point when he calls the shots for real world situations. PRO Competitive [+/-] Kenneth is very competitive, he was basically raised to be. His parents entered him in skate competitions since he was able to to do his first kick flip. This thirst to win has stained almost all aspects of his life and because he's so accustomed to the pressure of competing he usually does well- if not win. CON Vindictive [+/-] Kenneth is a trusting person, but fool him once and it's game over. Kenneth will do whatever he needs to exact revenge. He's not one to let things go, no matter how small the error. Be careful when lying to Ken, if he finds out you'll be on his shit list. CON Smoker [+/-] Ken smokes cigarettes. A lot. He's been smoking since he went on his first tour without his parents at the age of 16. Because of this he heavily relies on cars or his skateboard to get around as his stamina for walking and running is very low. Because of this, Ken always has his skateboard underarm. CON Competitive [+/-] As stated above, Ken is very competitive. While this trait often helps him, it also harms him. Kenneth is notorious for turning simple mundane tasks or inappropriate situations into a contest. History; Ken's parents never made any thing of their life. They never left their small town of Bradenton, FL- And they never planned to until Kenneth was born. When Ken was gifted to them, as his mother would say, they moved a short distance West of them to the larger, more populated city of Clearwater where young Kenneth was almost immediately thrown into the world of skateboarding. He grew up on four wheels and a slab if wood, he hardly knew anything else. As he got better with many long days of forced practice he finally got noticed; Scouted out by a big time promoter. His patents soon became wealthy as they had successfully raised one of the youngest pro skaters in America. Their plan had worked, they were quickly living tin the lap of luxury at their son's cost. When Ken was 11 years old he asked for a baby brother or sister. Rather than having a child, they adopted a 5 year old girl named Kimberly. She became Ken's whole world as his parents didn't truly care about raising either of them. He spent the rest of his minority doing everything for his sister. He practically raised her by himself, learning to cook, clean, and do most other relevant life skills that he missed out on as a child prodigy. As he grew older he also grew to despise his parents and what his life has amounted to. When he was the age of 15 his life and where it had gotten his parents began to click and he realized what they had done and why they had done it- for themselves. He continued growing, continued raising his sister, and began hating his parents. Every part of him wanted to be someone else. When he was 18 Ken left home. Instead of stupidly throwing away his career, he fired one manager- The one that was responsible for sending that beautiful fat check to his parents every month- and hired a new one. He completely cut off his mother and father. He wanted to try and be happy with the life he had been given. But his plan backfired... Shortly after Ken cut his parents off they retaliated by putting Kimberly, Kenneth's sister, now aged 12, back up for adoption. Ken promptly adopted Kimberly under his name, and though he was never home due to the numerous tours and contracts, hired the best care takers possible to keep her content until he had time to visit her. Now at the age of 23, Ken is still plagued by the life his parents made for him. He's tried his best to remove what they created and in his effort he's gone to college at Florida International University in beautiful Miami. Kenneth still skates, much less now than he did before, and in the oddest of ways that pleased him. His sister Kimberly, now aged 17, lives just outside Miami in Fort Lauderdale where they're able to see each other frequently. |
