Kagasoff kenton's father, the man who raised him (and his brother) to be the men that they are today. john was also kenton's first sports coach, just a small soccer team when kenton was six years old, but he still likes to take credit as the 'discoverer' of his son's talent at family gatherings, just to bring a laugh out of those attending. john retired just three short months ago, his job as a wealthy banker promising to be more than enough to sustain himself and his wife now that their children are out of the home. he makes a point of attending at least every second football game kenton plays in, having season tickets to all of their home games though he lives nowhere near kenton now. shanelle m. kagasoff otherwise known as mrs. john a. kagasoff. shanelle never really had a job through her life, other than a few small gigs as a secretary. she was far more comfortable being the homemaker, raising kenton and his brother, being home each day at six to give her husband a kiss on the cheek as he returned home from work. one might say that she is as sweet as the cookies she would bake every thursday back when kenton was just a child, but she has a secret strong temper that likes to rear its ugly head at the most 'trivial' of things as he sons might say, or when she attends one of kenton's games. kory i. kagasoff kenton's identical twin, younger by less than twenty minutes. though their appearances might make them out to be the same person, their personalities are vastly different. the two were close as children, but when high school came they each found their little niches in the world (kory as the almost anti-social runner, kenton as the popular all-sports jock), and their days of pulling pranks on others by switching places ended. the two lived together for a short time while both attempting university, but kory was the first to abandon that plan and flee to myrtle beach, giving each the opportunity to experience a joyous life without their twin for once. that joy is being 'shattered' though, as kory is the only one kenton knows in myrtle beach and therefore the one that he's staying with in the city until he can find his own place. brock l. doogard though long since retired, kenton credits his current career to his high school football coach, brock doogard. brock was the man who convinced kenton to try out for the team, even though as a freshman kenton had been sure he would be cut in favor for some of the juniors and seniors. it wasn't always easy, but after landing him a spot on the team brock personally trained kenton to become the star player people know today. edison l. halladay edison, or 'eddie' as he's been called since he was six years old, has been kenton's partner in crime since they were thirteen years old. they attended elementary school together, but didn't really get along. after ending up the only two freshmen to make it on the 'main' football team in high school, though (those who didn't make it were placed on a 'junior' team) the two were forced to work together and became best friends. edison lived with kory and kenton in university, but was the absolute first one to leave after moving in with his high school sweet heart (and keeping their apartment when they broke up six months later). now that kenton's moved to myrtle beach his pal has been left behind, though they still text, phone, and skype with each other. it isn't quite the same as seeing who can consume the most alcohol before passing out in person, though. amara t. stuart a drunken night gone wrong. three years ago a party ended up with amara in kenton's bed. the two had previously been friends, she was edison's little sister's best friend, but they hadn't been the sort to talk every day... and then she found out she was pregnant. she freaked out, he freaked out, neither wanting a child. kenton ended up paying for an abortion, saw her once or twice after it, but soon their contact ended. last he heard she was preparing to go backpacking in europe. amara stands as a reminder to him that he can't let himself ever get too carried away at parties to the point where he's not thinking straight. he hates kids. lily l. jorge important to kenton not on a personal level, but in terms of what she's done for him. lily was the eccentric reporter from his home town, the one who wrote tens of articles about him through his high school career, praising his athletics to great lengths, coming to his door for personal interviews, driving his father insane with all of the exposure. it worked, though. it was lily's articles that caught the eye of a football scout of the university kenton would eventually attend, winning him a scholarship, and from there it was actually a rather short trip (or seemed like it, at least) to the pro league. she was killed in a car wreck in kenton's home town just over a year ago. erika k. vance while it's true that eddie and kenton are partners in crime, they of course needed a getaway driver. this driver would be miss erika vance. she was one of the popular girls in high school, the captain of the cheerleading squad in their senior year, and eddie/kenton's friend from freshman year. don't get her wrong, being a cheerleader was no guarantee that erika was miss prissy 'can't break a nail' vance. this girl was tough as nails and could tackle better than half of the football team. it was unfortunate that there wasn't enough interest for a girl's team, because she would have been the star. perhaps it was that erika's personality was so much more independent and strong than her hobbies and appearance might suggest that made kenton and eddie like her, but whatever the reason they've been close ever since. erika went across the country for university, but made a point to skype kenton and/or eddie at least every second day to talk about anything and everything. she's probably the only girl that kenton has not wanted to get into the pants of, which is the highest compliment possible from him. elliot j. pierce everything that kenton was athletically in high school, elliot was academically in university. kenton swears that he only got through it because of this guy's tutoring. they both went in for business and though they weren't the sort of pals to hang out every day, they were there for one another. after graduation, while kenton went basically immediately into football, elliot got a job in europe. jezebel d. kagasoff jezebel, or aunt belle as she insists on being called, is kenton's aunt, older than his father by twenty years. she's a bit... odd, at times, but was often like a third parent to kenton and kory as they grew up. the details of her life have never been clear to kenton, he speculates a very, very, rich dead husband (he's always known her as a widow), but she has always lived in a very large mansion and showered kory and kenton with gifts. whenever their mother was unable to pick them up from school aunt belle would send her chauffer (yes, chauffer) to bring them back to the mountain where they could slide down the banisters and explore every nook and cranny. despite being a bit weird, she really is a sweet old lady who has always been one of the biggest supporters of each of the kagasoff twins. 9 important songs "we are the champions" - queen "we will rock you" - queen "smells like teen spirit" - nirvana "sexy back" - justin timberlake "get the party started" - pink "not my time" - three doors down "all the small things" - blink 182 "american idiot" - green day "in the end" - linkin park 8 important traits athleticism obviously. you can't have a professional sports career and sit on your ass on the couch, all day. kenton takes his physical fitness and athletic ability seriously. he loves sports. anyone who puts down professional sports players are insulting him personally (and he does not like to be insulted). womanizer unfortunately through his years of being the jock, kenton has become accustomed to having women running after him and being able to do as he pleases with them with little consequence. he's been in one committed relationship in his life, just after high school, and was so miserable with it that he ended up breaking up with the girl just to jump in bed with her friend that night. he wants to live as he wants while he can, and being tied down does not help that. confident though he's not extremely intelligent, that doesn't matter to kenton. he's confident about everything in his life, from his looks to his personality to his abilities. in his mind there isn't anything he can't do when he puts his mind to it, but why would he want to put that mind to things like hard work or relationships when he can relax, make big bucks in sports, and be with a different hot chick each night? cocky confidence goes too far, much of the time, though kenton would never admit it. inappropriate you know those idiotic guys who sit in the back of class in high school, making in appropriate jokes about everything that could be interpreted at all sexually? yeah, they don't grow up. at least, not in kenton's case. in his case they just learn when to voice their thoughts of not, and most often the answer is 'no' when they're drunk, angry, or trying to impress their friends. a one track mind, some might say. hard-working if there is to be one thing more important to kenton than anything else, it is his sports, and this is the area where he will put in 110% of his effort. he knows he can't slack in his effort, because there are tens of hopeful young recruits who would be all too happy to replace him in a heartbeat. relaxed there are very few things that kenton finds worth it to stress himself out over. for the most part he's relaxed and doesn't take life too seriously, prefering to enjoy things while he can than worry about the consequences of his actions. partier in tenth grade kenton discovered the joys of alcohol, partying, and all around 'i-don't-care' nights spent with friends, and he's never ended. there really isn't a month that's gone by since the beginning of university when kenton has not attended a party, most often he goes to one at least once each week, part of his 'life while you can' motto. 7 important quotes "Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best." = Tim Duncan "Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you." - Satchel Paige "if winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?" - vince lombardi "most people never run far enough on their first wind to discover they have a second." - william james "the reason women don't play football is because eleven of them wouldn't be caught dead in public in the same outfit." - phyllis diller "it's weird... people say that they're not like apes. now how to you explain football, then?" - mitch hedburg "football doesn't build character, it eliminates the weak ones." - darrell royal 6 important sports soccer his first sport, he stayed with it until he was nine, then took a break until his first year of high school when it became one of three sports he was a part of in the falls. yes, three. he didn't have much time for homework. baseball the american sport, after all. he only had a short stint in it, from ages nine to eleven, but it helped him learn that he had a great arm. basketball one of his two 'second semester' sports, beginning in december each year it dominated the second half of his school year from grades nine to twelve. badminton probably the most relaxed sport that kenton has ever been involved in, again from grades nine to twelve. volleyball one of the three first semester sports he was involved in in high school. he had an awesome spike. football clearly kenton's favourite sport, the center of his life since grade nine. 5 important events the day of his birth obviously every great story must start at the very beginning, and for kenton that beginning was in a small florida hospital, arriving kicking and screaming into the cold world shortly before his twin brother, kory. from a young age kenton demanded the attention of those around him, learning that if he cried people would come, he would get fed, he would get the attention he desired. he was a bit of a high maintenance child in that way, always needing someone around to shower him with their attention, and the nurses were almost glad when he left the hospital four days later. his first sport day going into sports was not kenton's first choice. it was his father's. at the age of six both kenton and kory were placed into soccer, on separate teams, because their father believed that they weren't active enough. kenton was placed on his own father's team, and quickly discovered that he absolutely loved sports. he was a very good player, for a kid of six, scoring three goals in his first game. it was likely that success that propelled him to continue with athletics and bring him where he is today. first day of school little kenton wasn't very social, only because there weren't many kids for him to be social around. he didn't get into sports until he was in kindergarten and all of his parents friends had children either a few years older or a few years younger than himself. his only real companion his own age was kory, but that all changed when they entered elementary school and kenton discovered the joy of having other kids to talk to. he was that kid that the teacher would have to tell five times to be quiet and sit down, the one who never wanted to stay still and was always on the move. school helped him open up. moving into his own place two weeks before university, kenton, kory, and eddie moved into the small house they had bought together. this was kenton's first real freedom, without a coach looking over his shoulder or his parents watching his every mood to ensure he didn't screw up his chances of going to college. living on his own, moving to their own place being symbolic of that, was a huge step in kenton's life and he would argue one of the most important so far. his first nfl game this should be quite self explanatory, one might assume. a career in the nfl was kenton's goal from his sophomore year, when he heard a fan comment that he could reach it some day. their comment got him thinking about the possibility, and he found the idea too intoxicating to shove away. he went to university, sure, but it was more for the sport than the education. finally achieving his dream was probably the best moment of his life so far. (plus there's the money... who doesn't like money?) 4 important facts he is not 'the evil twin'. it's true that he's not as gentle as his brother, but he doesn't try to make an ass out of himself on a regular basis. sometimes it just... happens. he has some moral issues that other people might disagree with, but they're nothing that should condemn him to be hated by everyone, merely side effects of fame and liking a 'free' lifestyle a bit too much. he's against marriage. well, not against marriage, but he doesn't ever want to get married. really, he doesn't ever want commitment. he believes that commitment changes people, ties them down, and he's very happy with the lifestyle he currently holds. he's already told his parents that if they want grandchildren, they should look to kory because they aren't getting any kids from him. he doesn't need a brat and a nagging wife intruding on his space. if not for his high athletic standing in his high school, he probably would not have graduated the year he did. as it is he passed with decent marks, but that was because his school held spots in such high regard and his teachers didn't dare fail the school star. there were many classes that he should have gotten, at most, a forty in that he passed with a high seventy or a low eighty all because teachers 'forgot' to count that test mark, or 'knew' that he handed in a paper that he'd gotten a 100% on and they had 'accidentally lost it'. despite being so athletic, he has never broken a bone in his body. this is not a fact that he would like to change at any time. he realizes that he is incredibly lucky, and would very much like it if lady luck would keep him in her good favor. especially now that he's made a career out of football, he doesn't want to risk a career-ending injury from a stupid tackle, even if he has no control over the 'risk'. 3 important 'what-ifs' what if kenton did not become a football player? he would be an accountant. despite not doing well in school in high school, in university (with the help of friends) he managed to get fairly decent grades with no string being pulled by his professors. accounting was never what he wanted to do, though, always only a second option. if he were an accountant he certainly wouldn't be as fulfilled as he is now. what if kenton didn't have a twin? honestly, likely not much would change. kenton and kory were only the 'attached at the hip' twins when they were young, like ages one to five. when they entered school they each found their own little niches in the world where they fit, and other than athletics they didn't have too much in common (except for appearances, of course). kenton's personality is more influenced on his parents and sports than it is on the fact that he has an identical brother. what if kenton fell in love? love? ha. he doesn't really think that it exists. this question is too confusing to answer. 2 important locations st. cloud, florida the location of his birth, where he spent the first eighteen years of life. he returns there frequently to visit his parents. myrtle beach, south carolina his new location, moved here, finally, after two years of being on the carolina panthers. 1 important secret his middle name is emerson what, were you expecting something juicy?
