Kenneth has never been the outgoing type. If you aren't family or close, he leaves people to their own personal affairs. Among his own group of family and friends, he is never the follower. Kenneth's thoughts on things are either "My way or the rail way." This kind of thought pattern tends to aggravate people, but refuses to give up on anything until it is done. However, one thing that irritates him the most is lazy workers. Kenneth has accepted the fact they are poor, and the Capitol gets all the food. But when a worker sits around and does nothing all, forcing him and the others to pick up the slack to avoid punishment, that can lead to some problems for him.
From the day he was born, his mother and father always told him to treat women with utmost courtesy. As such, most things that would piss him off about a guy, he tends to deal with when it comes to women. He has gotten multiple public lashings because he helped women get some extra food, and without the peacekeepers knowing exactly who he helped, that was his punishment. He knows one day they will get rid of him when he is no longer a top worker.
At the end of a hard day he is usually seen either with his sister, or behind his 'house' sitting on an old, cracked wooden bench with crooked, rusty nails playing his guitar.
LIKES: Hard Work, Rainy Days, Music, History, New Ideas
DISLIKES: Cold, Failure, Swimming, Laziness, The Capitol
STRENGTHS: Leadership, Strong Will, Intelligence
WEAKNESSES: Stubborn, Women, Rash Judgement
FEARS: Drowning, Hunger, Heights
SECRETS:Wants to join the games so he can experience a good meal, and just leave this life behind.

UNEXPECTED BIRTH , QUIET CHILD ,LASHINGS
FATHER(S): Robert Thompson/42/Wheat&Orchard farming
MOTHER(S): Elizabeth Thompson/39/Baker
SIBLINGS: Lisa Thompson/14/Baker
Kenneth and his little sister were both unexpected. His parents were, and still are, poor. Adding extra mouths to feed to a struggling family was extremely hard on Robert and Elizabeth. With his parents working late into the night, they were able to scrape by enough to have enough food for them to eat. However, they still found the time to conceive his little sister, and thus Kenneth was put to work when he wasn't even three years old yet.
Kenneth spent his life either taking care of the house, tending to the fields, or cooking with his mother. From this, he learned to give a 110% in everything you do, and you can avoid getting your ass beat. As he grew up he learned to just keep to himself, mind your own business, and leave others alone. Unless someone is hurt or really needs help, leave them alone. And for the most part, he did. However when he was fourteen, he was walking home late at night, when he thought he heard a scream. He felt like he should go to help, but left it at that. The next day, he heard reports about a women being killed around the area it happened. The locals suspected it was a peace keeper who did the murder, but with no evidence, the case was dropped. From that point, he decided that if something was going on, it is his business. As such, during the past few years, he has gotten caught by peacekeepers who suspected him of taking something, but he was always quick to dispose of anything. As such, they decided to lash him in public multiple times instead of killing him. Now that he is seventeen, he is trying to figure out what to do with his life. End it, or live in hell.

ALIAS , 18 , EST , CHICKEN, NO ADOPTION
The sky overhead was holding nothing but blue and the hot sun. The last time him or anyone else seen a cloud was over a week ago. Kenneth spent most of his day either hunched over cutting up wheat, or getting high up to pick the orchards from the branches. Sweat was dripping from his brow, sometimes getting into his eye. He wished he could stop, but doing so will not make anybody's day easier. If they don't pick enough, they will all get in trouble. If one person doesn't pick enough, they all end up in trouble. His life depended on them, and theirs on his.
Kenneth looked up at the sky, his hand slightly covering the gaze of the sun. It wasn't in the center, but slightly to the west. By his guess, it was close to three o' clock. He grabbed his canteen and toke a small sip of it. His stomach wanted food, but with work meaning life or death, food can wait. He put his canteen back and went back to work. Kenneth wiped his brow of sweat, trying to work as fast as he can. Today he was going to leave early, to help his mother and sister keep up with the baking orders. His 'boss' may get mad if he doesn't get enough food here, but his 'bosses' boss will be even more pissed if everything doesn't get cooked in time. And with his small quota for the day being met, he left to go to his family.
