⊠GENERAL INFORMATION âŠ
I guess it is - I mean, almost every girl in my school somehow knows this stuff.
Role: The Quarterback
Gender: Male
Nickname(s)/Alias(es): Kenny, the QB, the Superstar
Age: 17
Love Interest: Well, that's where things get a little fuzzy, huh. See, he is supposed to be always dating the head cheerleader - cuz that is what Quarterbacks do, right? But lately, his eyes have been wandering away...
⊠APPEARANCE âŠ
Cuz that's all I'm graded by.
Height: 6'1
Weight: 190 lbs
Build: Muscular, Toned.
Hair Color: Auburn-Black
Eye Color: Hazel - Brown
Scars/Tattoos/Piercings: He wouldn't be much of the star celebrity of his school if he was known for getting piercings like those other misfits. No, his body is absolutely clean of all forms of piercings, tattoos - but that doesn't mean that he hasn't wanted to get one. Scars are on his body, but not ones that would ruin his 'perfect' complexion. They are more like a ton of bruises and cuts stacked on to each other from his constant training.
Description: Kenny is practically gorgeous - at least, that is what half of the girls of his school would tell you. However, that is biased, so in truth he is pretty unruly. His hair will fall in some places, and spike in others - his bed really does tell him the hairstyle for the day. His ears, although slightly larger than average, fit in perfectly as his mount of hair allows them to just blend in. His face is angled, but not too much so to make him look hawk-like: it just looks right compared to the rest of his body. His soft, brown/hazel eyes are interesting in the sense that they are not judgmental: instead, they are inviting, which makes him look somewhat like a sissy (quote from his older bro). His nose is a little thing, and his mouth is thin, and yet also sized just right.
His body is ridged: everything about him is an awkward combination of lankiness (darn height) along with his solid build of muscles. His skin is a really light bronze, which gleans in the sunlight. If his face looked mean at all, Kenny would be highly intimidating with his height and very broad shoulders - they are probably the most solid thing about the kid. Kenny's legs are toned as well, but a woman doesn't look for legs in a man, so the only attention they get are when he isn't running fast enough during practice. The cuts and scrapes mentioned earlier merely add to his 'Rough-guy Superstar' look, as the collection of minor scrapes and bruises multiplies with every practice or game.
Preferred Clothing: When not wearing his Quarterback Uniform, Kenny has the money to spend on fairly trend, yet plain clothing. The expensive name brands that a lot of the rest of his team wears doesn't really appeal to the kid, so he buys simple jackets and shirts. On most days, he is either wearing the school coat that he got, his black jacket or a hoodie. Underneath can be a variety of shirts that change every day - no color really doesn't suit him. Jeans are on his legs every day there isn't practice, with the occasional sweat-pants day. Finally, his shoes: these are his prized Nikes, ones that he had bought out of his own money and have worn them for only 6 months.
To finish him off, he has a pair of over-ear headphones - a chrome style color - that he keeps around his neck. What stays at him is his laptop bag, since he doesn't want the rest of the football team knowing he actually does his work.
⊠MENTALITY âŠ
I didn't think that my mental state would be much different than most peoples...
Oddities: Quite a few actually: Kenny always quiets down in arguments instead of standing up to them. He talks to himself to get into the 'game' mode to play at his very best. Doesn't sound weird, but he does this every time he wants to mentally prepare himself, so for every test, project and exam. Unlike a standard jock, his largest oddity is that he actually cares about his school work and his marks.
Skills: He's a star quarterback. What other skill would he have?! (Er, in actuality, quite a few...) Kenny is probably one of the smartest people when it comes to plays and planning, which translates into his easy ability to lead. His ability to have high initiative, however, has lead him to becoming an extreme computer nerd - the dude can create websites and hack into things (but he won't). However, this is an extremely quiet skill.

Dislikes:

*Violence
*Failure
Hobbies: Being the busybody he is, Kenny is often seen practicing for the next big game, or holed in his room. His brother thinks he is doing some freaky things with his girlfriend, when in reality Kenny is either using his computer to help out students online or do his homework.
Phobia(s):
Altophobia, the Fear of Heights - Kenny cannot stand heights, not one bit. He wouldn't have lived it down had the guys found out about it.
Atychiphobia, the Fear of Failure - Ever since he could remember, he has been constantly pressured to succeed. Only natural that he fears the very thing that his family hates.
Sexuality: HeteroSexual.
Personality:
The best way to describe a kid like Kenny would be that he is a doppelganger, a two face. Kenny lives a massive double life nearly every day of his life, and it wears the kid out. In truth, Kenny is a sweet hearted, soft kid that only wants to help out others and be at peace with happiness. Sounds cheesy, but that's the simple truth: Kenny is a push over. He helps out those that are misfortunate, since he is really well off in terms of money. Kenny is always wanting to achieve his best, academically and physically: his training is hard, but he loves it. During his free time, he is either doing his homework or a hobby of his which is tutoring online students.
Kenny is simply a hard working with a kind soul, and that is his downfall. His work ethic is so robust, so refined that it left most of his old friends behind until he was caught up to by the Popular crowd. It didn't help him that, while he is a natural born leader of men, he also goes along with the crowd to save face. For many of their disgraceful acts, he finds himself constantly standing on the edge of the group, not really part of it or against. The only reason that the Popular group hasn't caught on to his act is that he has become an extremely proficient liar. He saves face by just simply sticking with them, and they don't question his presence: in fact, many people consider him the most popular kid in the school. As a humble kid like Kenny, he finds that really weird - but to keep up his double life front, he accepts it.
Thing is, this back and forth is taking a massive tole on Kenny's conscience and overall personality. Sure, he has had to live like this for a long time, but he really loathes it. If he could, Kenny wishes to erase all of his abilities to play football if it meant he could be real for once. He hates having to pick fun at less fortunate kids, when all he wants to do is comfort them. He hates the idea of constantly having to switch girlfriends, when he really wants to find someone meaningful. All of these contradictions are stocking up on Kenny's morality, and is slowly spiraling the kid into a depressive, extremely confused state.
Kenny in a nutshell is a sweet guy that would love to be a beacon of hope for everyone, but because of who he is and what he does, has been forced to act as a person that destroys those beacons: while at the same time hurting himself.
âŠBACKGROUND âŠ
The whole reason for this mess, really, but I love them to bits anyway.
Relationship Status: Currently dating whoever is the lead Cheerleader.
Family:
Father: Dougie Douglas For some reason, Kenny's grandparents thought it clever to call their only son by their last name. A retired football coach and star, Doug has been the driving force for Kenny's split life ever since Kenny was old enough to hold the damned round thing. Full of himself, Doug is the epitome of a 'football dad'.
Mother: Maggie Douglas Where most of his brains and quiet tendencies comes from, Maggie is the polar opposite of Kenny's dad - the only reason they got together was that she was one of those buxom yet intelligent cheerleaders back in the day. She is the only one that Kenny has turned to with his problems since he was a kid.
Older Brother Henry Henry is like a freaky carbon copy of his dad: loud, obnoxious, and a massive football star. Henry is 3 years older than Kenny, and has influenced nearly every life making decision that Kenny has made. Henry was the one that hooked him up with the football team (he was the best receiver in the district at the time) and the group of 'friends' that he now hangs out with.
Personal History: Kenny was born to an ex-football star and a quiet cheerleader, with an older brother constantly poking him in the cheek. Being born into a football-only family was probably the weirdest thing growing up, as all he wanted to do was quietly study and hang out with his friends, but his dad would have none of it. He would sign up both of his boys for Football camps, football teams: everything that dealt with football Kenny did. Thing was, he didn't mind the sport at all - in fact, he quite enjoys football, even though it sort of ruined his life.
See, his dad taught him a work ethic that literally left everybody else breathless: by this, he taught him how to leave all of his friends behind. Kenny would work out constantly to keep himself in shape, while practicing football nearly every damn waking hour. Sure, he may have been sick of it, but he loved his father so he rarely refused. His friends, however, slowly lowered in numbers until there was one left, and he left Kenny just as they both entered high school.
This was when Henry showed up and whisked him away to the popular crowd, full of gossip, booze and sex. At first, Kenny wanted nothing to do with this kind of group, until in gr.10 he was picked as starting quarterback over the veteran in gr.12. His father told him that this was the breakthrough that they needed, and that this was expected of his son. Not wanting to displease his family Kenny reluctantly agreed to the position, and ever since has had to deal with all of the popularity (apparently he was more handsome and hearth throbbing than the last QB, who was considered a knock out. Who knew?) and the rest of the shenanigans. Kenny actually, however, kept up a good face for the entire ordeal, drinking with the guys and hanging out with them. While he doesn't consider them really his friends, he admires the kinship and bonds that they have.
However, this all was nearly destroyed when the Head Cheerleader he had been dating - he swore he was on his 5 girl or something, they just came and went without him realizing it - lost it all. He tried to hold on to her as long as he could, as he really did like her a lot and found her quite sweet, but couldn't. Ultimately, the system whisked her down to the bottom of the pile, and all he could do was watch in sadness as the next one came in to fill her place. Since then, his ability to keep face has been crumbling, as he constantly questions the system that he is in. Sure he loves football, but does he love it more than he loves people?
It hasn't helped that a certain girl has shown up and caught his attention big time.
