Kenneth Wayman [D6]

'Appearance is something absolute, but reality is not that way - everything is interdependent, not absolute.' - Daila Lama

One thing that immediately stands out about Kenneth is his hair, he has it twisted and tied into dreadlocks. The dreadlocks go up to the top of his neck so they aren't very long but still quite long for a boy, if you undid them the afo would be huge. His hair is jet black and hard from the lack of haircare, not soft at all. Sometimes when it's really dirty it goes brown when he hasn't washed it for a while because of all the dirt and lack of being washed. It looks the same mostly other than that because really who needs to maintain dreadlocks? Sometimes when they get too long he might undo them, cut his hair a little then get his hair done all over again because he prefers shorter dreads for some reason.

He's African American, sometimes his dark skin looks lighter in the sunlight but when he's in doors it looks slightly darker. Since he's eighteen and on the tail end of puberty he has hair in quite a lot of places -cough cough-. So he has quite a lot of hair on his body, which is obviously black. He also has some faint facial hair above his lip, forming a small mustache. He's 5'10 so quite tall considering he can still grow. He's pretty skinny, very skinny and his body shows signs of abuse from all the drugs he likes to consume. His body isn't malnourished but certainly skinny and weak (thank you drugs).

His eyes are brown, very dark brown his eyes look almost black, however when you look at them he never seems to be concentrating, almost as if he's daydreaming about something else or not quite in reality. He can never seem to concentrate as if he's hallucinating (which he mostly is because of morphling) and it's just very weird to look at. His voice is pretty deep, clearly just finishing puberty so all the voice breaking is finished.

Kenneth is generally a lazy, morphling addict, sleep around who mostly sleeps with other trashy drug addicts. He's eighteen so one of the higher ups in the 'Master's' house and is mostly on the streets, either stealing money from people or drugs with his little thieve clique who listen to mostly what he does, he doesn't like doing house work and mostly leaves it to the younger kids because 'that's just not his thing' and he's mostly hyped up on morphling or on the streets to be going around doing work, he's just that lazy. In fact one of the reason's he's happy he's with the master is because he doesn't have to work for money.

He's really good at stealing because the 'Master' taught him, he actually gets a thrill from it and relishes the rewards because he just loves the money he steals. He's almost never truly in reality, whenever he's on morphling he always experiences hallucinations, just random hallucinations when he's on one of his many morphling runs and he's just never quite concentrating on what's real and seems to be more interested in his hallucinations despite them not being real at all. He finds them fun and interesting and preferable from the real world, and Master doesn't mind as long as he does his stealing. So with his talent in pickpocketing he likes pickpocket and up to now he has never been caught because his schemes are always perfectly planned.

Kenneth also has a little sister, she's fourteen years old and he isn't very protective of her, he cares about her a lot but he isn't protective of her like most older brothers are. She lives with the Master like he does and does her stealing but he makes it a mission to always go with her to make sure she doesn't get caught because he doesn't want her to get killed or whipped but other than that he's mostly paying attention to himself although he does care about her. She's the only family he has left but things just get in the way.

He enjoys partying and just has to be the center of any group or clique. When he goes out to steal he always brings his clique with him, some of them are pretty big and strong unlike him because he's mostly on drugs so he needs someone to do all the fighting for him. He's the leader of that clique pretty much.

Kenneth's childhood started out fun and good. He was born to a successful mother who did research and was a scientist but their father only worked in production, she could've done so much better but ended up being with Kanneth's dad. So together they had two children, the first was Kenneth and they were pretty well off, a decent house with decent possessions so a pretty decent life. Kenneth had no responsibilities and was lazy, he left most things up to his parents and did the usual stuff kids growing up did. He didn't have to deal with the full weight of real life because he had his parents around to take care of him.

However tragedy struck the family when Kenneth was eleven years old. Kenneth's mother was killed in a lab accident and then Kenneth's father seeing that the family had basically no source of income decided to take his own life, leaving Kenneth and his sister alone to be taken into foster care. They were then given to a family but they both hated it there, overcrowded with other kids. Kenneth and his sister escaped the home and ran away, they ran far away and never looked back, no one really cared that they were gone but they were looked for a few times but never found.

Lucky for them they weren't homeless for very long because a big tough man called Gruff found them and when they said they had no where to go he took them to a big house with other children and to an elderly man called 'Master' and he took them both in. And then Kenneth was trained in the art of stealing and pickpocketing which he found to be really fun because he could easily get the things he wanted and not have to work for money and such. So for years he lived with Master, eventually getting into his own little cliques and feeling like he actually belonged, and as he got older he went out on the streets more to steal more and more stuff.

However when Kenneth turned around sixteen he started getting into morphling. One day his friends manged to swipe a packet of tablets from someone and suggested they all get a buzz from it, Kenneth was a bit uneasy about it but decided to do it anyway and when he did he loved it, he just felt like all his problems in reality melted away and he could live in his own world filled with hallucinations and no pain. So eventually he began to take it more and more, and the less time he was at home and on the streets either stealing, loitering or picking up other girls who had nothing better to do. But he still took the morphling, take it with his friends, take it alone or take it with his other female 'friends'. He never brought them to his house he had to go to their houses and take his morphling with them there and mess around with them at their house (he could do whatever he wanted as long as it wasn't in the house).

And to this day he continues this lifestyle, no matter how self-destructive it seems he still does it because it's fun.
