Mr. Kingston Kennedy

[SOTF_Help]

Name: Kingston Kennedy
Position: Government/Economics Teacher
Gender: Male
Age: 32

Appearance: Mr. Kennedy stands at 6'3" tall and weighs 260 pounds; he is a tall, muscular man who is now developing a bit of a beer gut. He is Caucasian and pale-skinned, and he has auburn hair that is just beginning to thin on top and a beard that is full and thick by contrast. He has light green eyes and usually wears a pair of oval wire-rimmed glasses. Mr. Kennedy puts effort into his presentation for work, wearing nice button-down shirts and slacks, but he famously loves the cold and in his off-time can be seen wearing short sleeves and cargo shorts in all but the most freezing times of the Massachusetts winter.

Biography/Personality: Originally hailing from Vermont and still stubbornly patriotic about his home state, Mr. Kennedy (or Mr. Kingston, as he is equally happy to answer to both) is a newer member of the John Endecott Memorial faculty. His path to teaching was a bit meandering; he enjoyed a successful high school and college football career, but a knee injury ended his perusal of sports as a profession. Instead, he got into political science and began working as a teacher's aide before graduating to a full-time teaching position.

While patient and encouraging with his students, Mr. Kennedy has something of a mixed reputation among the John Endecott Memorial staff. With his coworkers, he does not hesitate to speak his mind and has openly criticized the administration and other teachers for what he considers skewed priorities or lackluster approaches to their jobs. In the bumpy landscape of school politics, he is quite friendly with Mr. Tang, the vice principal, as they often share similar views on the school's issues.

Away from school, Mr. Kennedy enjoys the occasional night out at a sports bar with friends and spending quality time with his fiancée, Isabel. He is still quite the football fan as well and always supports his favorite teams in the playoffs and is happy to discuss or complain about the ongoing season with others.
