Kendrick Strawfield

Kendrick was born to an only mother in the deserts of Vacuo. His upbringing was very dependent on other people, as his mother was often sickly and couldn't take care of young Kendrick. Many a time, he would have to stay with an uncle or friend so that his mother could take the time at home to recuperate. During these times, Kendrick would sneak out to gaze at the wonderful stars the hung above him, taking in the wonderment of its vastness.
In his later years, Kendrick ran into some trouble with a few gangs and ended up taking sides with one of them. Though he was only 15 at the time, Kendrick had already racked up an impressive rap sheet, earning him the nickname "Bad Man Kenny". His mother worried for his safety, but had little control over his actions due to her illness and his reckless attitude. Often she would meekly plea to him, but her words meant next to nothing to him. It was one day when he was out and about with his friends racing motorcycles and talking to girls, did he get the news that his mother had fell comatose. It had hit Kenny like a truck, shaking his very being and view of life. His mother lie in a bed, motionless, lifeless. The only thought that ever came clear to him in this dire time was for him to do something new. He always kept it at new, never better, never good. His decision for something new, lead him to the idea to utilize his skills and talents to become a hunter and do himself, along with his fellow man, a favor by helping protect this world from Grimm. The moment he had the chance, he boarded the first boat to Syne, and began his journey as a new man.

Kendrick leaned his weight against the wall, rolling his jaw around as he did. His eyes opened slightly, veering from left to right to get a feel for some of the locals around here. The wide, smiling faces that surrounded him as he spied on those passing by on their commute, gave him an uncomfortable welling in his gut .It was astounding to him that he made it far enough to even be able to waste his time against this wall. He felt as if he wasn't supposed to be here, as if he had boarded the wrong boat and had been getting by security with luck. A place of structure like this set him on edge, made him feel like he's going to be asked question he doesn't want to answer. The smiling faces all seem to have a more sinister feel to them now, ones that staring at him and wondering how this riff raff Faunus got into the academy in the first place. Their laughter came from the fact that a small fry punk like him could make it in such a big and scary world. Kendrick wants to run, to break something so he can finally get a breath of familiarity, but he knows that won't do him any good. At the end of the day, he wants this feeling. He needs it.
