Yes
Has this character appeared in a previous lore?
No
Age
33
Blood Type
O+
Personality
Kenny has an impulsive and care-free personality, and despite being middle-aged seems to have yet to get rid of his immature heart. He is often known as a risk-taker or thrill-seeker, the type that should have died out twelve years ago.
Character Motivations
Kenny's main goal is to live out his dream of being a drag racer... which is no longer possible for a number of reasons. Despite the roads, cars, and people being in poor condition, he still wants to be able to drive freely one day. In the meantime, there is no reason to not have as much fun along the way as possible, right?
Physical Appearance
Kenny has a slim body proportions, weighing around 160 pounds, at 5'11", and is obviously of Caucasian descent. Despite his worn facial features that show his years, his dull blonde hair and lazy greenish eyes, he manages to pull off a youthful aura with a sturdy grin on his face.

Biography
Kenny was born to a classically wealthy family in New York proper, where he was bred to inherit the legacy of his family's pharmaceutic company, and was tutored alongside his little brother, George, who fell behind him in academics and everything else. As the years passed, the gap between him and his brother grew larger and larger, and he was often scorned by the family. Despite all this however, George seemed to be living life happy and without stress, which only beget jealousy and hatred from him, as he grew embittered to his life that was set up for him. One night, as he could take no longer, he investigated himself what the difference between them was, and he soon discovered his brother's secret pastime - Street racing - And Kenny fell in love at first sight, at the speed so far from his everyday life, despite only being able to see his car race around a bend for mere seconds.
Eventually, Kenny made up with his brother, and begged him to let him in to this new world, his brother only laughed and accepted him, seeming to show no grudge despite all the spite that was leveled at him earlier. Together, he taught him the new rules of the road, and the skills he had himself. However, this time would not last long, as his brother got into a driving injury, that although did not leave any permanent injury, led their parents to discover their newfound dangerous hobby. They sent Kenny away to a private boarding school in California, where he was to study medicine, and kept his brother at home to await further punishment for badly influencing his brother.
However, Kenny had no intention of following his parents wishes. While studying medicine on the surface, he lived a life of thrills and decadency at night, modding cars, racing streets, and dabbling in drugs. This lasted for a couple of years, and before his life could crash and burn, perhaps teaching him some form of lesson, the world crashed and burned around him. The country in a state of emergency, there was hardly anyone left to play around with, and he had no contact with his family, leaving him clueless as to what to do. Eventually, he remembered the one person left that would definitely race him - His brother. And so, he decided embarked on a cross-country journey from the atlantic to the pacific, Of course, by car.
As all the highways were full of traffic and dead cars, he had to stick to traveling through normal roads, which were still in just as bad condition. He traveled at a slow pace, often having to move cars out of the way (Often employing the tactic of stealing someone else's car and tackling them both off the road). Eventually, he was left with no gas, and no way forward, in the middle of Colorado. He was picked up by a local survivor group, where he helped fix vehicles and get cars ready to use for scavenging. This also caused him to realize the severity of the situation, and the likelihood that his brother was already dead. And so, he decided to stay, still hiding and secretly maintaining his own racing car. However, 3 years of this life later, and the group fell apart to infighting. He stole as much gas as he could and left them behind, heading towards the only destination he could think of - New York.
He made it as far as Kentucky before he could no longer find any gas, and realized that all the gas left to siphon in cars had all gone bad, and would only serve to ruin his engine. He found himself another group, a tough group that seemed on the verge of becoming bandits - however, they had no need of a mechanic. The person who greeted him reminded him of his old crew - back when he was studying medicine and did drugs in secret, so he offered his skills as a pharmacist , and they took him in quickly. Of course, he had little skills in actually producing drugs, as he had never used it in practice, but with enough effort and time he eventually persevered. While supplying the group with drugs, he also spent large amount of time on the side working to make gasoline using what could be found. Eventually, he convinced the group to help him produce ethanol, which could be used to restore previously bad gasoline into a usable state, making his journey cross-country possible again. However, instead of pursuing this, he decided to stick around, having found friends and a life with the group here.
8 years later, and the group had completely transformed. They had become a full on cartel, recruiting more chemists and peddling drugs to nearby groups, and using ethanol-produced gas to gain an edge on the competition for survival. They also had even created an illusion of his previous decadent lifestyle, which had kept him and others hypnotized for many years. However, he eventually grew tired of living out his college years, and he decided to leave it all behind, dragging out his old modded car from an abandoned garage, and heading once again to New York.
After 11 years, finally arriving at his destination, he realized that somewhere along the way he had already come to terms with his brother's death, despite never seeing the corpse for himself. Thus, avoiding NYC, he followed word of mouth and eventually arrived in a small community called Monroe.
