Kenneth Darnall

Kenneth Darnall (a.k.a. Ken)

Kenneth Darnall (or "Ken", as he prefers to be called) likes being popular and in charge, and he uses this to his advantage. He's not afraid to be a trendsetter. He has a scholarship to play forward on the university basketball team where he is also one of the co-captains. The son of a U.S. Army general, Ken has traveled the world. His strict family structure has instilled in him a strict team ethic and an intense desire to win.
Ken is attractive, and he knows it. When he's not in practice, he's partying and hooking up with college girls.
Ken's psychic abilities cluster around traditional ESP, sometimes called Clairvoyance. This allows him to sense things most non-psychics cannot. He is secretive about his abilities and denies that he has them if anyone earnestly questions him. He's concerned that his talent would alienate him if anyone finds out, but he's more concerned that he would no longer be able to benefit from the edge it gives him to get what he wants, whether that is money, authority, victory, or sex.

Main Character Flaws: Pride, a bit self-centered, overconfidence; expects loyalty, might be rigid

Morality & Philosophy

Image is everything, but it takes loyalty and discipline from the entire team to make the winning combination
Ensemble Philosophy: Realist/Optimist due to leadership, decisiveness, experience, adaptability, and willingness to bend the rules as well as having his own personal code (although it's not necessarily a moral one). But also exhibiting determination, loyalty to ideals, "Honor Before Reason", friendship over rules, feelings over facts, lack of forethought, disregard for consequences, relentlessness (even stubbornness), optimism, and blind faith. He has the potential to grasp self-sacrifice and prioritizing 'the right thing' over survival, but he has yet to grow into that.

Social Aptitude

Ken is a very social extrovert, always the center of attention and the life of the party. He's very friendly and charming, and he instills a sense of ease and confidence in people.
Sometimes Ken can be rash when he's overconfident. But in his personal and social life off-court, he's not always dependable and may sabotage or thwart others if it means he will come out on top as the winner.
Working with Others: Through both the military and athletics, he's used to a team atmosphere, but with a very clear understanding of the chain of command (preferably with him in command). Ken is a natural and charismatic leader, and expects unquestioning loyalty of his followers (like his father), but he honestly has the best intentions for his team and will not leave a man behind.
