//DESCRIPTION:Standing at a height of 5'10" Kenneth has a well-kept body, with nothing really impressive that defining him, which he doesn't mind. He is usually on top of his appearance, keeping his hygiene up more or less out of the habit of keeping himself clean. With a subtle scent of something refreshingly good with a hint of sweetness if you get up close to him. Dressing himself up as a preppy or casual style of clothing, he has a wardrobe that at least has a few articles of clothing for different occasions. Wearing whatever that looks like it is something that he can work on himself and will look good on him. Having a rather good variety of clothing
He has his dark brown hair short which is usually messy unless held by some gel which accompanies his light blue eyes. Weighing around 164 lbs, he has a built body with muscles that are there but not anything to be proud of other than the fact that he works out occasionally, still its better than nothing. Having mostly light skin which only has a tinge of being tan on them, it tells people of his European ethnicity of some sorts and thus is easy to catch those sunburns. Kenneth also has an angular face which holds the structure of his face, with a beard which can be classified as a Balbo style with a streak connecting to his sideburns, outlining his jawline and giving him a simply nice look with the style.
He usually doesn't mind leaving his tattoos exposed for others to see, with little care on how they are perceived. It is surprising how many he has gotten in the short amount of time, with both of his arms sprawled with the colors of the pieces of art on his skin. With his right arm being decorated with orange and pink flowers with butterflies. Along with his left arm, is basically a canvas for many other different pieces of artwork, such as cat, a Russian doll and a few more that are artistically worked on that arm.
With everything that is going around him, Kenneth is seen usually by his peers and adults as a confident guy, if not an occasional troublemaker or rebel from his reputation and history. Having a casual and easygoing attitude about him, he is known for being fun and wanting to do something adventurous or simply anything to pass the time. Being a generally lazy person when no one is around, he likes doing nothing productive when he is having his 'me' time which can be said to be literally every hour. Having quite the outgoing personality that people can see, it isn't hard to determine what kind of person he is when he is always talking in a flirty manner. Carrying himself with an air of self-confidence that has been built sturdily, he is often called sexually confident by a variety of people like his friends or teachers even, which he doesn't mind be the guy who can be blunt with what is on his mind.
"Well... I'd go to heaven for the weather. If not then I'll take Hell for the company any day. " Kenneth was born to Elizabeth and Marco Sokolvo who moved to the United States for their job. Working at a company known as VersaLife which popped out with the advances of technology focused the medical industry. Focusing on bioengineering and pharmaceuticals, it is main company was stationed in Russia while the workplace of his parents was a branch district. Known as the Applewood Facility, it is a relatively new building in Crestwood Hollow that is well guarded. Where both of his parents worked but what they did, no one really knew due to a signed a confidentiality agreement but often joked about their positions like being on a production line or being a fitness trainer. While they did work hard, they always had more than enough time in the day to spare and with a few friends to spend it with, they often were home.
With his parents have been in America for a little more than a decade now, mostly accustomed to the life in Crestwood and decided to start a family. With their position in the company stable, as the facility they were working at was made permament in the States. After months of deciding, they finally went along with it and began nurturing a new branch in their family. With his mother giving birth to a baby boy, they named him Kenneth and raised him as an only child for even one was a handful. Being uncannily calm, he was a quiet baby who never cried unless you provoked him to cry. Having little interest in getting attention or making trouble, he was an easy child to take care of with a certain humbleness to him. It wasn't until entering school, that he changed quite a bit from those that he hanged out with.
The entering of school is what cracked his shell and realize who he was, being a very sociable person in school who made friends with everyone and was slowly disappearing from the house. From elementary, he was a charming kid with good manners and was outgoing enough to plant the seeds of friendship. With him growing up each year, it was never hard for him to make friends with people and easily could get along with any group. With him being introduced to a variety of personalities that rubbed off on him. Whether for better or worse, he was growing up right in front of his parent's eyes as he soon left for Middle School. With him slowly shaping to become the person that he is today with himself being academically well-off and his social life better than most, he was faring pretty well as the years went on.
However, if there was something that anyone wasn't planning for, it was the situation of his powers manifested themselves during Middle School during a fight when some guy wanted to throw fists for some reason. Of course, he never liked getting into these situations but once the fist was thrown, he'd have to throw back or get beaten up. So, after defending himself miserably, he eventually knocked the kid out once Kenneth was being choked against the wall and bruised some. With a good shock, he zapped the lights out of the kid before leaving shortly after checking to make sure they were okay. With determination to find out what was going on and to lick his wounds. With manifestation of his powers, he has relatively kept them a secret from everyone. It was the obvious choice with all that he knew about Hyperhumans and the general attitude with them from the public. Of course, on the other hand, was that he wielded the ability to control lightning! The result was inevitable as the temptation would win before he would explore his powers fully as he could without being too obvious.
His powers did little to affect his life besides the obvious and resumed his daily life with this fact in his mind. Moving towards High School, he never changed his outgoing ways with people as he instantly hit it off with many people from the first week. Being involved with both academic and extracurricular activities in school since the first year, he was fairly well known for being on the different sports team for each year and being in the Student Council. Having meet very different people in the giant pond that was High School, he made a few friends everywhere from the quirky theater kids to the talented orchestra and band kids, along with the jocks of the sports teams and the students involved in the Student Body. He even befriended a few teachers that he liked which he has gotten comfortable with them in speaking almost casually with them. As almost setting himself to be a kid who was fairly known to the school, he did literally give a speech for the assembly during the first day of school as vice-president of the senior body and every year before...
However, with this being his final year, hopefully, it'll go out in a blaze of glory with his figures crossed for the future!
▼ A B I L I T I E S / S K I L L S:
"Hey, don't take life too seriously, okay? You'll never make it out alive anyways." //ABILITIES:◼ ELECTROKINESIS | Kenneth has the ability to control and shape electricity to his will. Being practically embedded with the element of electricity, he has the power to generate electricity and have it absorbed from other sources as well. From this, he is highly resistant to the effects of electricity coursing through his body and should have no problems with it. Being able to mold electricity to his desires, they can take form of arcs of electricity, to handheld lightning bolts or even as orbs of energy and many more forms as his creativity has it. However, due to the erratic nature of electricity, its more or less near impossible to keep it stable for building anything or control it in higher densities. He is able to control any properties of the electricity that he is controlling with fine control that allows him to do many other things with it as long as he knows what he's doing.
//SKILLS:◼ Alcohol Tolerance | Looking at what kind of person Kenneth is, he should easily have developed this skill quickly or be hammered at every social outing from his school mates. Well, at least this applied to the ones that he went to, were they not the same? Shhh... don't tell his parents.
◼ Cleverness | While definitely a smart student, his laziness takes priority over his duties as a student. As he calls it 'a habit of resting before he actually gets tired' which gets some chuckles sometimes. Using his brains on how to figure on making things easier for him so it takes less work for him to do. He makes sure that he at least makes sure he does a good job at the very least to make sure it isn't poorly done.
◼ Scientific Interest | Despite being a slacker, there is no doubt in his mind that he will need to actually work to survive in the adult world. So, he might as well pick something he enjoys right now as his focus for college, which is his favorite subject: Science! While sucking at math he manages, while retaining his interested in the complex nature of how the world works and is fairly interesting to learn.
◼ Athletic | Even this lazy bum knows that looks can get you far in life if you are good at it. Keeping his body in shape and himself in general clean will massively help himself in too many ways to list. Being generally good in a variety of sports he has tried, soccer and track seem to be the easiest to do with the least stress and most availability. He has made sure to have his health up in the healthy zone, as the doctor commented when he was younger that exercise would help control a few things in his body.
◼ Social Butterfly | Despite his laziness and the flaws that he bluntly shows oftentimes, Kenneth is still able of having friends with a large variety of groups. Being generally a floater who doesn't hang specifically around a group, he likes having variety in his friends. Being a very social person, he easily fits into most of the people that he is talking with or have some sort of similar interest with the other groups. While not certainly why he befriended them, it also helps when he is getting the latest news on what's going around in the school, like that fight in the morning, or that one senior who got pregnant and things of that nature... With eyes and ears in every pot, it is certainly worth it to get to know everyone and be friendly with them.
//LIMITATIONS:◼ Battery | The way Kenneth's powers work is that he has an internal storage of his electricity that he is capable of using. Every time that he externally exerts his electrical powers, he consumes his resources each time he uses them which then depends on how heavily he is using it. However, internal uses of electricity in his own body have essentially been reused in an efficient way that the cost is negligible. Once he is out, though, he is drained for good until he can replenish it either naturally or from another source of energy, it usually takes a period of 6 hours to restore his internal supply. From his flaw in his ability, he is capable of absorbing large amounts of electricity without problems until he finally reaches full capacity. Essentially by overcharging the container, if it continues for too long, he will start melting down until he explodes from having too much energy inside of him.
◼ Bodily Stress | Pressure is never a good thing which often may lead to mishaps. It however, cannot be dealt with for using his powers encumber Kenneth both physically and mentally which deteriorates the effectiveness of his powers. With each use of his powers, it takes a toll on him the more he uses them as both his control and potency of his powers weakens until he simply isn't able to pull it out of himself if he still has some juice left in him. Small-scale applications will drain him less and anything growing up from there will place more strain on hi,
//WEAKNESSES:◼ Nature of Electricity | Simply by the nature of Kenneth's power, which operates under the laws of science, it is hard to control large amounts of electricity with fine control. It being generally harder to control anything larger with a width bigger than a basketball and becomes much more unpredictable the larger attempt is made. Even with small-scale uses of his ability, there also is the problem with conductive materials which may take his electrical abilities off track if they are in the range of influencing his abilities.
"Sorry, but I'm just a flirty guy. Can't help but be myself!" //SUPPORTING CAST:▼ ALLIES◼ Mom & Dad | If they dealt with Kenneth for eighteen years what makes to say they won't ever stop loving him? Together he and his parents always have been close, with his outgoing personality even extending to his parents. Talking to both of them every day, its kinda hard to get anything out of them when they have no friends, can't talk about work and mostly watch Netflix or Hulu all the time. Occasionally, yes he does get annoyed with them as he is basically a slave for his mother to do everything for her but he manages. However, when they do fight it is usually with his mother which is swept under the rug like it didn't happen and resume normal life again.
His father unanimously has the far more interesting lifestyle, as he has much more friends than his mother sadly. Having dirt-bike riding as one of the hobbies he picked up in the States, he has several friends which he rides with. Occasionally dragging Kenneth and his mom out to go camping with them, he even bought the two something to ride on. Having his very own Dirtbike, he sucks at it but at least won't crash anytime soon when he's on it. Some of the friends that Kenneth regularly sees his father is Adam who is a guy in his early thirties if not late twenties who's pretty wild and energetic. Then there is Kevin who is another guy but in his forties and much calmer than Adam. Then coming along is the older people like Charlie and his wife Debra along with Todd and his own wife Jullie who have known his Father for a long time. These friends that he sees often, practically come by every time there is a event coming happening.
However, Mom does have some of her merits, such as her cooking which knocks everything out of the park. She doesn't have a particular style of cooking but seems to be well versed in many styles of cooking, like making pasta, barbequing some thin Korean steaks, making fish tacos and even curry. She is literally the foundation of the household, as she cooks and cleans everything in the house with Kenneth's help. Being a clean freak and slave-driver which both his father and Kenneth agree on, they give the house a through scrubbing every other week if possible. Mom while certainly cold and lonely sometimes, does have her own small group of friends that she talks to at work and sometimes drags Kenneth along to meet them. Her best friend is a Phillipino girl named Susette who knows Kenneth really well, as she would often babysit him when he was younger. Working with his mom for a good ten years, they are really close friends. With her husband Troy also being someone they knew, but a much more quiet and reserved person. He too is also a dirt-bike riding guy who went professional for a short time and in a rare while rides with his dad.
Together, that is the life of his family which he has been accustom to. Living in their two-story home which has four bedroom and two and a half bathrooms. It has been heavily worked on to fix all of its problems and improved such as the bathrooms in the house, the front yard which is now a combination of rocks and trimmed grass, along with the pool liner in the backyard and the jacuzzi. They live comfortably in the middle-class on perhaps the upper-end where they can afford a few expensive things and have a nice house. They even have two German Sheppards as a replacement for human kids, being called their children by his parents. The two are called Raphael and Uriel and are about four years old now.
▼ FRIENDS◼ Alex MacAtee | One of Kenneth's friend in the Student Council, they usually talk to each other in their classes which they have together. This year being their first and third periods which they have the same. They're both Seniors and known each other since Freshman year when they first had the same starting period before realizing she was in the Student Council as well. In which she ran for President and he was her Vice-President for the Freshman class that year. If they is anyone who is more popular than Kenneth, it has to be her as she seems to know everyone left and right. Together the two talk to each other often more or less for the work they need to do, but occasionally they hang out.
◼ Marion Suarez | A girl he met in Sophmore year, she is a Freshman he had in one of his classes. They met each other when he was sticking to his story of being a Freshman that year and they just clicked. With their personalities meshing nicely, they had a few common interests along with the fact that she too is in the Student Council. Kenneth also hangs out with several of her other friends like Alessandra Williams and Nickoli Ngo as he has one class with both of them in it.
◼ Nathan Arizaga | One of his friends from Middle School, Nathan is an athlete in Track for all four years in High School and now has it with Kenneth. Being one of his crushes from Middle School, he doesn't have the same feelings as before but there is a slightly jealous look coming from Kenneth when David is with his girlfriend. Occasionally, he hangs out with his friends Marcelino Trejo and Marco Farias who were friends from his elementary school, with both of them being on the soccer team.
◼ Ryan Murray | One of his dad's friend's son, they are sorta friends with each other as they have met for dinner with both of their families. Talking to each other occasionally, it mostly suffices with a wave or polite hello between the two as they pass the halls. Sometimes, Kenneth hangs out with his group of friends who are usually troublemakers and like to dick around most of the time. Nevertheless, they are a fun group to hang out with sometimes.
◼ Alexis Brandt | A guy he knows from Theater, the two worked in the play several times before. Occasionally hanging out with each other and getting to know his mutual friends, they are friendly with each other. Along with having a good relationship with their teacher Mr. T, who dragged Kenneth into trying out the school play.
◼ Thomas, Claudia and Jacob Lee | A trio of friends who all have the same last name that was in his Physical Education class in Middle School, with the ongoing gag that they were a family. He honestly doesn't talk to either Thomas or Claudia anymore since he can rarely find them, but Jacob usually hangs out with the Theater folk who he talks to occasionally.
▼ ENEMIES◼ Joseph Garcia | One of the other seniors that he has seen around, the two have had more or less a passive-aggressive relationship with each other. Apparently Joseph is still holding a grudge when he stepped on the back of his foot, he did say sorry but either way, he was walking slowly! It's kinda noticeable to Kenneth when remembering the faces and the name of everyone and it's also more noticeable when you spit in front of him disrespectfully. Joseph is just kinda one of those guys who reinforce the stereotype, not to be racist or anything but its his own fault for what he is wearing. He can at least have clothing that fits him without being a size or two bigger and styles his hair differently... Honestly, Kenneth just ignores him and maybe if he wishes hard enough it'll smooth over.
//STOMPING GROUNDS◼ Anywhere literally... | It all depends on the mood that he is feeling it, when he wants to simply hang out he can be anywhere whether it be in the cafeteria, the benches, one of the classroom or hallways of the school. Usually though, he is hanging out with his friends and will never be seen alone unless he's having a bad day.
//PARAPHERNALIA◼ Backpack and Gymsack | The necessities of school and being in a sport, as he contains everything he needs for a day in those two bags. With his laptop, folder and a bunch of other miscellaneous stuff in his black and grey backpack, while tied to the side is his grey gymsack that outline with blue strings and zippers. It has all that he needs for Track after school which are like his clothing, deodorant, and whatever else is in there.
◼ His Car | He didn't work hard for his driving licence just to leave it sitting in the dust! Having a hybrid car (largely thanks to his parents) from Toyota, it is a practical car with a wonderful mileage and design. The car is more or less loaded with everything and more, its a pretty nice car for its price and much better than what he could afford on his own and considering that it's much cheaper than his other options. The car is easily paid for since, his parent's single car they bought two years ago has been paid off, they only ask that he keep his grades up or risk losing the keys and you bet he's going to keep it up. Not to mention, his paranoia for keeping his car safe from wrecking it, he likes to park in the far corner if possible to avoid bad drivers... He'd rather walk some extra distance rather than coming back to a dent in his car.
(Hopefully he's has the bare minimum accomplished)
