• Abilities:

Keep Your Distance!
Ken tends to try to keep his distance in a fight considering he uses a cannon as his main weapon. Often the cannon is just filled with rocks or whatever he finds on the ground that seems to be large and heavy enough to hurt if he launched it at you with a cannon. It's really like an overpowered, semi-automatic pea shooter though.

Back off
Ken isn't very good with close range fighting so if somebody gets within his personal space bubble, he will swing his cannon at them in an attempt to knock them back out. It’s a pretty heavy cannon so if they’re hit it’d probably hurt a bit, however he’s not necessarily very strong or comfortable at carrying it around yet so he’s pretty awkward with the motion. Pretty easy to dodge and he can’t do it a whole lot without tiring himself out quickly.

Bombs Away!
Emilia helped him to make a few small mushroom explosives, the explosions from them aren’t very big but can cause moderate damage if hit directly. These are for more mid-range attacks than his cannon. When they explode they have a slight poisonous quality which might make one feel a little woozy, however unless you’re directly hit or are standing over it sniffing the fumes, you’d probably be fine and not affected.

Mushroom Mine [Elemental - Earth]

He can bury his roots into the ground pop them out to grab hold of anyone that comes near. This tactic is better in his opinion than just swinging them out to grab people since it gives more of an element of surprise.

Whip [Elemental - Earth]

The mycelium around his arms can stretch out and be used like a whip or wrapped around his arms in a drill-like manner in appearance (they don’t spin though, just reinforce his punches/attacks and make his arms a little more durable)

• Magic

Spore Cloud [Defensive]

He can spit out a cloud of dark spores that would irritate the eyes and make it harder to hit him. It clears up relatively quickly. He most likely would only use it as a cover to escape though because he is a prideful punk and doesn’t want to be seen running away it leaves a nasty taste in his mouth.

Mush Wall [Defense Level 2] [Unlocked]

Once he can utilize his mushroom and mycelium, he will be able to use the large mushroom atop his head as a shield. The mushroom would grow in size until it is larger than him and droop down in front of him. Enemy attacks would bounce off unless they are strong enough to break through or smart enough to go around. This mushroom is like an extension of the one on his head. It’s like a super meaty shell for it so if you destroy that it would not work as if you had just hit his crit point.

Entwine [Healing]

He places his hands upon an open wound on his body and the mycelium under his skin will intertwine to cover it up and stop the bleeding. The area will still be weak and it’s easy to cut through if you really want to hit that same spot again.

Eat My Shrooms [Healing Level 2] [Unlocked]

He can pluck the smaller mushrooms from his head and eat them to regain health. He can also force other people to eat them, however it won’t be as effective for them as it would be for him.

Placing your Roots [Healing Level 3] [Locked]

The roots would bury into the ground and spread out, taking in the nutrients. The better the soil/area he does this in the faster it will work and the more effective it will be. He will suck out the nutrients until the ground around him is dead and cracked and he has more than what’s needed. The extra will go to his smaller head mushroom which would be so packed with its healing juices that when he forces you to eat it it’d restore more health than usual [50%].

• Weakness

Ken is incredibly slow and not necessarily sturdy to make up for it. All of his concentration is on attack and doing damage until the point where he will be able to freely use his mycelium.

He’s also not very good with close combat, which is why he has Emilia to keep them distracted and at a distance or cover his back in close combat. He’d do everything he can to keep something from getting close, but if it does...he’s pretty screwed.

• Critical Hit

The mushroom atop his head very sensitive. If you poke it he’d get a shiver down his spine and probably smack your hand away...so if somebody were to say, cut off a chunk? He’d feel it throughout his entire body through the roots of the shroom. Now if you were to completely chop it off? He’d be a goner. The shroom could be compared to his heart and the mycelium sort of like his veins.

• Berserker Mode[locked]

Mushroom Takeover

The mushroom on his head will grow until it releases a cloud of spores onto him. Following this, the mycelium through his body will spasm and grow and pour out of his mouth, eyes, and ears. They will wrap around him protectively and he will be able to freely use them to swing as an extension of his body. The roots will continue until he is completely encased in them and appears as a large spasming mass of mycelium.

• Personality

{| Worrywart | Overprotective |  Rude | Aggressive | Thick Headed | Caring | Coward |}

Worrywart: Ken tends to overthink things and will end up stressing over possibly offending people (which he does all the time). He’ll sit there for hours (if given the opportunity) wondering if he did wrong and trying to defend himself to nobody. His rude and aggressive nature is often a bluff and he couldn’t hurt a fly.

Overprotective: Those he finds close he will often find he can be rather overwhelming and doting. However he doesn’t like to actually show this side of himself so he’ll try to cover it up by scowling and pretending like he doesn’t care. Because of his little sister he feels the need to watch over and keep a very close eye on others he cares about.

Rude:

He’s always been a little brat; in both life and in death. He will lash out at people easily and pout and whine and complain. It’s almost as if he were a child...oh wait.

Aggressive:

He’s easily pushed over the edge and when that happens he will begin to snap and possibly act hostile towards people. He really tries to control his anger issues but he gets annoyed so easily...often after lashing out he will recede to his domain to pout and sob about how bad he feels about what he did...he usually won’t actually apologize though and will wait for it to blow over. If it’s obvious they are mad or it doesn’t just ‘blow over’ he will lower himself to apologizing. The exception is if they are very close or if he physically injures them.

Thick Headed:
If you have something to tell him it’s easier to just say it straight forward because he’s oblivious to hints.

Caring:
Though he has his own ways of showing it, he does really care. He likes to go for more of a “showing he cares through actions not words” type of approach and tends to trip over himself when trying to express himself through words.

• History

Kenneth Crowell

1927 - 1938

Lilith Crowell

1928 - 1938

    “One of the missing children of the Crowell family has been found dead in the forest today. For those of you that missed the earlier reports; Kenneth Crowell, son of John and Helen Crowell has been found. In his hand was a fungi that is currently in the process of being identified so we believe it was an accidental death. The house has called off the search for their daughter, Lilith as well. We send our prayers their way. In other news…”

~One week earlier~

    Ken groaned and pulled on his hair as he stood outside the door to his house...how could he have lost this job! Their family was already in a lot of money trouble and his father had been laid off earlier in the week as well. Pop was gonna be so angry...it wasn’t fair. They never put this kind of pressure on Lilith! Even when he broke his leg working as a paperboy they didn’t care and the MOMENT it was well enough to walk on (give or take a month) they sent him back to work with packing MEAT.

    The longer he stood outside the more he began to panic about how they would react. His relationship with his family had been pretty rocky for a little while now. Ever since he had been forced to get a job to be exact. Everyone hated him, everyone was always picking on him, it just wasn’t right! It wasn’t fair...but standing outside was only putting off the inevitable.

    Finally he took a deep breath and walked into the house, slamming the door which shook the entire building (granted it was small).  “Dad I’m home!” He yelled and then hesitated before adding “I was fired again…” a bit more quietly. If only he could have gone back to the paper route...that was so much better, but when he broke his leg they replaced him immediately.

    “Mom and pop went out to look for jobs” a slightly irritated voice called from the back room. “Kenny, you haven’t even been working there for a week! What did you do?”

        He shrugged it off and followed the sound of the voice to his little sister who sat sewing together two pieces of cloth...the stitch was a little messy but he was still impressed since it was better than he could do. Moving his gaze to her face he sighed, not really wanting to say: ’Oh, I was too squeamish so they replaced me’...that would hurt his ego too much. “I got in a fight with the guy next to me, he got real beat up...I’m fine though.”

    Lilith raised a brow, obviously not buying the story. “Yeah I can tell…well maybe next time you should just put up with it because you know we can’t afford to have you not working” she stated coldly, paraphrasing something one of their parents has said.

    “What?! How could I just put up with-” he caught himself before his real reason slipped out “yeah fine.”

    “ We probably can’t even afford the rent next month? What are we going to do, huh?”

    “I’ll get another job alright?!” He snapped and turned to leave the room, thinking of snide comments in the case she had something else to say...which he sort of hoped she did, just so he could use them.

    “Maybe you should go beg them to-”

    “Oh shut u-” Ken turned quickly, not realizing she had gotten up and was quite as close as she was. In the process he slapped his arm against her face, knocking her to the ground. Oh no...he’d really messed up now...she was holding her face and starting to cry.

    “Hey...Lil…”

    She ignored him and stood up, walking out of the room. Ken heard the back door slam shut and didn’t move for a long while before he turned to follow after her.

    Behind their home was a forest that lead to who-knows-where since they lived on the outskirts of town. They weren’t allowed to go in, though that had never stopped him before. The forest was a safe place where his father’s yelling and the constant pressures were far behind him...still, he was careful never to go far enough to get lost.

    “Lil?” He called out...she couldn’t have gone that far…

    He walked until the light dripping through the trees dimmed and the sky turned dark. He was lost...but he wasn’t going to go back...not without Lilith that was...she was probably even more scared than him and if he didn’t he would be in so much trouble he’d definitely get beat. Eventually though he stopped and fell asleep against a tree.

    Once he had woken up, Ken wandered further into that forest...and he was getting hungry too...but he saw something he recognized. Mushrooms. They’d had them for dinner before and he...didn’t dislike them. In fact they were pretty good! He stepped closer and took a look, plopping down in front of the patch where they grew...they were safe to eat right? They looked just like the ones he ate at dinner. Sorta. After a little bit of debating he plucked it from the ground and looked it over before popping it into his mouth and grimacing. Gross. He ate it anyways though, he was just really hungry. Especially since they didn’t have a whole lot to eat at home. He picked the rest of them and stuffed them in his pockets.

    He actually spent another day like that, continuing to look for his sister and popping the disgusting little shrooms into his mouth to cure his rumbling belly until they were all gone. He really was starting to feel better though. He even got excited when he saw another patch, except these ones were larger and looked cooler. Without fear he pulled up the largest one he saw and began to chew on the cap.

    A couple hours passed and he began to feel sick to his stomach and hot in his face. He was getting scared again...it was getting dark and he was feeling sick and he was worried about his sister. He felt it bubbling in his belly and stumbled, gripping onto a tree for support before puking up until there was nothing left but the bile to choke out.

    He was having difficulty moving now and lay down on the forest floor, clutching his stomach, tears rolling down his face...it was...hard to breathe and he couldn’t move...and then it was dark.

    “Lil?” He gasped out, suddenly the ability to speak returned to him. He lay at the feet of a blurry figure and in a clear voice it made him...an offer? Wait...he was...dying? He could hear his heart pumping in his ears, this would...be a timed offer, he assumed. “Yes I’ll do it, I’ll do anything...please” he wept...and then it was over.

• Cause of Death: Ate a poisonous mushroom

• Contract: Rewind

He wishes to go back in time and try again...this time he wouldn’t be such a wimp, this time he’d just do his job...he wouldn’t get fired and he wouldn’t hit his sister.

• Family

Mother: Helen Crowell
    His mother tried hard to keep everyone happy and did her best to look out for the kids. She was the typical motherly figure, nurturing, caring, and sort of passive unless she really needed to speak up. He didn't have many issues with her but she would take his father's side in arguments so he still had a little grudge against her.

Father: John Crowell
    His biggest issues were with his father. It was one of those 'I love you but I don't have to like you' relationships. They were both stubborn and his father had a tendency to get frustrated easily. They would butt heads often and both would come out frustrated and not a step closer to any problems actually being fixed. His father didn't like to beat him but if he did something especially bad Ken knew what to expect

Younger sister: Lilith Crowell
    He cared a lot for her and they would spend plenty of time fooling around and playing imagination games until Ken had to get a job. Things went downhill a little bit from there. They still spent plenty of time together but refused to be seen in public with her because she was still his annoying little sister and he cared a lot about what the other kids thought.

• Relationships

Emilia: He sees her as his younger sister in a way and tends to be pretty defensive of her. She is basically his best friend and considering his not so great social skills he’s lucky to have her..(.of course he would be anyways because she’s a CUTIE)

• Other Information

/He has a gas mask Emilia gave him for when he plans to use his escape ability.

/He’s honestly a little brat and complains all the time.

/He’s all bark and no bite.

/The mycelium can be seen wrapping around him and under his skin. They also hang out of his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.

/At a later point he’ll be able to use said mycelium as a whip-like weapon that would wrap more thickly around the outside of his body (Usually his arms). Once wrapped it would look sort of like a drill and can stretch out long distances.

/He uses a lot of 1930s slang sometimes...

/Ken and Emilia have code words while in battle so he can warn her when he plans to use an explosive or something that might hurt her as well.

/He has a "mushroom garden" on his back where there is a large patch of moss and small mushrooms.

/Has a slight limp

/Sometimes his leg can come apart and he might have to braid it back together, at least until he can use his mycelium freely.

/Hates looking at his reflection because he finds it cruel and frankly pretty gross.

TL;DR

_{and for you lazy people I have no room to talk}
