He's not very good with weapons, but makes up with it with his brilliant mind and outside-the-box thinking that's earned him the position of the Hawking's Chief Science Officer. [b]PERSONALITY PROFILE:[/b] Kenneth is a curious mind, always searching for answers to questions that many consider unanswerable. He's very kind however he has a tendency to become stressed in intense situations, when he is stressed, he becomes very difficult to communicate with and his brilliance begins to fall apart. These intense situations can be being yelled at, being pressured to have something done by a deadline or even combat. Kenneth's weakness is ultimately his kind heart, as it's resulted in him being very against violence and relying on his words to get him out of situations. While he's pretty impressive with weapons since his time at the academy, he tries his best to avoid using them at any cost. [b]HISTORY:[/b] Born on New Terra, Kenneth as a boy always found peace in finding new things and learning how they work. But what always intrigued him as a child was the endless sea of stars in the sky. Throughout his childhood and teenage years, he was the best in his grade when it came to knowledge, primarily science. After his graduation from high school, he proceeded to attend one of, if not the best college for astrophysics. After spending almost seven years studying and acing each sub-subject of astrophysics, Kenneth achieved a Master's Degree in Astrophysics. After this, he chose to take his knowledge to the stars, enlisting in Starfleet. After spending a while at the Academy and graduating, he spent two years teaching at Starfleet Academy for Astrophysics, before recently being assigned to the USS Hawking, finally achieving his dream of being able to study whatever new thing he finds out in the massive sea that is space. [b]FLAW:[/b] As previously stated, Kenneth is easily stressed, too kind and overall a pacifist. His kind nature prevents him from confrontation and relying on weapons. If he becomes too stressed, instead of becoming upset, he "shuts down" more or less. He becomes very difficult to work with and his brilliant mind stops functioning.
