| Kenneth ShawIt's the people that saved me when I needed it most... Now it's my turn to repay the favor.
The Biography
|
Birth Name:Kenneth Shaw Aliases:Ken. "Kenny" Gender:Male Age:19 Birth Day:04/09 Arcana:Strength Place of Residence:Vista Square Academy Semester:? Class:Zero
Sorority:N/A
Part/Full Time Job:various Odd Jobs
Appearance:Kenneth comes off as a excitably young man who 's eyes just give off a glimmer of ambition in them. His skin is caucasian with a slight tan, his height is 5'11 and his weight is about 130 LBS. Ken's hair is also black with slight spikes and short.The boy wears a Straw Hat that is reminiscent of his old home town back in Kansas, wearing in tandem a sleeveless red vest with a pair of blue short trousers. He does not always wear the same outfit and will alternate depending on the situation, though this is often his "defacto" outfit which he wears to move around Endymion or in casual quarters.
- Base Outfit:
However when he dons on a Cadet Uniform, Kenneths outfit changes instead to a large black trenchcoat like cloak donned over his body, with a black pair of smooth dress pants underneath and a neatly tucked in red dress shirt to finish it off.
- Cadet Uniform Ken:
Personality:Kenneth is a rather amicable person who has faith in those around him. He can be rather outgoing, or found engaged in rather sociable activities as well. Being a very extroverted and outgoing individual, Ken desires to befriend most of those who he meets and tries to see the "good" in people, however this does not mean Kenneth is not aware of the "bad" people are capable of. The forgotten is not hard to talk too, and finds a way to somehow just talks about anything, his activities or the things he do may be perceived as bizarre by others as well for how "abnormal" he can get sometimes.
When it comes to doing things, Kenny is usually a hard headed individual, he never gives up not out of determination, but rather sheer stubbornness to accomplish whatever he is doing. Sometimes even declining help purely to save face or some semblance of his own pride. When the chips are down and Ken knows he's outmatched though, he has no problem accepting that sometimes the boy just might need a hand when he's in a pinch.
Deep down however, Ken possesses quite a few fears. The incident that made him become a forgotten to begin with left him with partial PTSD that sometimes can trigger in incredibly violent or explosive situations. By explosives I mean literally explosive situations, he dreads violence and wishes to put an end to most of the "bad" in Endymion, as some form of repayment to the people of the city themselves. He feels this inclination because when he suffered a life threatening injury that threatened to deform him for life was caused due to a bombing, a gofundme was created and many rallied simply to pay for his treatment.
When it comes to friends, Kenneth never backs down from helping them. Although he may trust easily, and may actually find himself going out of his way ALOT more than he actually should for people, when you manage to befriend Kenneth he just won't abandon you, and will be your "rock " when you may actually need it most to begin with. It is an honest flaw of Kenneth's that he may have a hard time seeing through deception, and may be inclined to believe people even when he should not. Sometimes he can be gullible even when there is an obvious lie in front of him as well.
However when you speak to Ken and just hear his jovial self. It's like someone else is speaking to you on the inside, despite how stupid he may come off as, or how strange the boy may seem. It's like a special kind of charisma just radiates from him onto yourself. Underneath his goofy exterior, when the going gets tough. Ken knows to get serious, but manages to retain a light hearted sense of humor and dialogue despite whatever may be going on around him.

The Potential
|
Strengths: (Anything your character is skilled in, such as Martial Arts/ Drawing/ etc? You are allowed a maximum of five strengths and a minimum of three.)
—Strength Name:A Boy and His Demon —Description:Kenneth is a unique Individual, in that his Demon was directly merged with his body to help with his treatment as a experiment. His Demon is incorporated into his chest,legs arms and pretty much most of his body. However for all intents and purposes, only his hands and forearms serve as the actual "soulbound" weapon and are treated like a "soulbound". The rest of his body can be damaged just like a regular human being can.
—Strength Name:It's a Special Kind of Talking...You just can't teach to Anybody... —Description:When Kenneth talks to you. There's something about him that just stands out to you, you feel inclined to believe him. Maybe trust him a little more than you actually should. You find him a little goofy, and maybe a little young and dumb...But frankly?You just can't help but give him a chance.[Charisma starts at rank 2]
—Strength Name:The Shadow Just Knows How To Hit...! —Description:Kenneths Shadow just knows how to hit the enemy properly with a hard physical attack and seems better affinity wise to physical oriented attacks. As a result, Kenneth has a 20% chance to miss with Multi Hit Physical skills instead of 30% like others would suffer.
—Strength Name:Reflexes —Description:In preperation to become a Cadet, and from Kenneth's own personal life experiences, the young lads got his own set of personal trained reflexes. He finds it easier to react than others.
—Strength Name:Follow Me! —Description:Kenneth at heart is a leader, even if he lacks the actual experience to show for it, by nature he tends to attempt to take charge of situations or rally everyone together. This functions as a leadership strength for dungeons.
----- ((A floating Strength is a strength you've gained inRP. For example, if you were on a Kendo team for some time, you'd naturally know Kendo which is where this strength would come in. However, be aware, it will not be as strong as any of your actual strengths and is a small plus)
—Floating Strength Name: —Description:
Weaknesses: (You must have the same amount of weaknesses as strengths. These weaknesses pertain to you and not your Persona. IE: Physically Weaker, lack of attention span, etc.)
—Weakness Name:Vulnerable —Description:Kenneth is unfortunantly despite his shadows physical affinity more vulnerable to slashing based attacks due to his shadows physiology. +15% damage from SLASH attacks.
—Weakness Name:Soft-Hearted —Description:Ken just has a hard time dealing with large scale conflicts or explosive[Literally] Situations, it may be because he's not used to them and some of his underlying PTSD influences this, but at times he can come off as soft or even faint of heart.
—Weakness Name:Post Traumatic Stress Disorder —Description:Kenneth is far more vulnerable to mentally freaking out compared to others whenever he encounters largely explosive situtaions or large scale harm of any kind. As a result, he is also 15% MORE Vulnerable to mental ailments.
—Weakness Name:Not meant to shoot. —Description:Kenneths shadow is poor when it comes to actually using magical based skills, adding an extra 10% chance to miss whenever he uses his gun
—Weakness Name:Not Intellectually Inclined —Description:Requires to rank up with Intelligence 1 TWICE to progress to 2.
----- ((A floating weakness is one gained in RP. It could be a fear you inherited during RP, or an injury that hinders your character. Some can be temporary while others can be permanent.)
—Floating Weakness Name: —Description:
Shadow/Demon Weapon: ((This is the both a Weapon and a Shadow/Demon. You have a parasitic relationship with this Shadow/Demon, and as such you will always want it near you as it is the source of your power. Unlike Soulbound Weapons, this Shadow/Demon Weapon cannot be summoned and will always remain active, meaning you'll have to keep it on you at all times.))
Weapon Name:Freshie D The Real O.G Weapon Description:It's literally Kenneth's hands/ForeArms. A RastaFarian Man demon that is bound to Kenneth's body. Strangely his hands/forearms have quite a few burn marks on them. Weapon Image: (Not necessary) Weapon Attack Type:Strike Weapon Element: (Leave this blank.

The Background
|
History:Kenneth's story starts all the way in the beginning, back in Kansas Nevada. He grew up as a pretty simple and light hearted young guy. Went to school just like the other kids did, and everything else. You could say that Kenneth had a pretty normal life indeed, however that was never meant to last.
It all started right before the Eternal Divide. Little Kenny just went to his middle school in the bright of day, In fact his parents christ really thought he was gonna be okay. However life had other plans for little kenny, as he was just in the middle of class. A bomb went off right in the middle of his school. The kid was caught in the sudden burst and flames that engulfed his school. Wasn't anything too large but it was definitely a noticeable kaboom. Little Kenny that day got pretty lucky, because his classmates sure didn't. The kid suffered some serious third to fourth degree burns, it was highly likely that in his future, Kenneth would be deformed and likely unable to physically function.
A Go-FundMe was put up by some sympathetic people to fund not only Kenneths treatment but the treatment of many of the other children who managed to survive the bombing of their middle school. Alas, even with people funding his treatment, the expenses were quite complicated. Though one day, Kenneth's family was approached with an "experimental" option by a visiting scientist that would allow Kenneth to come back to his regular life good as new.
Without any hesitation they all said yes, though...The family didn't get what they were in for now. Young Kenneth was taken to a separate "research" facility to have this new, "experimental" treatment be placed upon him. Due to his fourth degree burns the guy was lacking a large amount of his Muscle and skin tissue. When presented with this..."Experimental" treatment however, the boy was nearly taken aghast and afraid. Just what on earth had he signed up for?
- "The Introducing:
It had been another day of hell for Kenneth. His entire body ached and felt like hell in the care unit he was in.He really appreciated all that had been done for him despite his condition, and couldn't help but feel guilty at how people gave so much to the kid, but he could only give so little back to them all. It left him feeling rather powerless, and to be frank rather shitty. Being bandaged and barely able to move left a large damage in Kens ego as well. However before the boy could sink further into his depressive thoughts. They were all interrupted in an instant by the sudden voice of a nurse who walked into the random, clad in the same weird white outfits that Kenneth thought were strange. Kenneth? Are you awake?The nurse seemed to call to him, however he did not respond much outside of shifting slightly in place. He wanted to speak, but could not mutter much outside of a ....Y-Y-ye....s?Pronouncing his words oddly and slowly, as if he didn't desire to speak at all. What's with the long face Ken? Today your gonna be just as good as new! The nurse seemed to notice Kens demeanor, but was sure that the news of him becoming better today would change it. If he could move much, he certainly would have displayed some signs of improvement at that moment. However all he could muster was just a few more words. Really!h-how!The boy couldn't help but ask, as the nurse started to move over to his bed and prepare to wheel it over to another part of the care unit. Nearly attempting to move inside of the bed he was in, but only managing to squirm slightly before the pain of his earlier injuries hit him like a brick, causing his movement to cease almost utterly. Now now Ken! Don't make it any worse than you have to! We're gonna fix your body up just as good as new ok Ken? Just promise me one thing!The boy was glowing practically compared to before he was told this, was he finally going to be better? Was he finally going to go home again!? When asked to promise her something, he immediatly responded without hesitation. Sure, Anything! With that, the nurse bent over slightly and whispered to him. Promise me you won't be scared
As Ken was wheeled in to receive his treatment however. He would be paired up with what was apparently a strange human looking man, that looked oddly rather homeless. The two two were linked together in what appeared to be some form of an attempted "experiment" to make the two combine together and possibly "fix" Ken as well. A few glowing lights, and some miracles later. The two formed what appeared to be a demonic "pact".
Following some rehabilitation procedures and tests, Ken was now back to his regular self, albeit now he had literally a demon inside of him. His hands and arms never were the same, when the Eternal Divide occured however. Ken was forced to abandon his family and friends to flee alongside the researchers who helped him get better in the first place, a thought that still haunts him to this day. Arriving in Endymion, after spending some time in the city. Ken decided to put what he possessed to good use, applying to join the cadets to help keep the peace.
On my life. I will make things right! |
