Kenny Okafor

Kenny Okafor is a character role-played by kristianako.

General Description[]

Kenny Okafor is a kind young man who doesn't understand his feelings and often overshares. Usually recognized by his lack of chin or iconic goggles, Kenny hates animal cruelty and goes along with anything to make others happy. Despite being shy, he can be mischievous around people he feels comfortable with. As he knows he's easily manipulated, Kenny keeps a list of everyone he meets and tracks his trust in them.

Early Life[]

Kenny was born in England until his birth parents moved and went bankrupt in Los Santos due to gambling. He spent two weeks homeless before child services saved him. Hence, Kenny developed a hatred for gambling.

His first adopted father was his hero as he played in the NBA for the Los Santos Panic. Kenny was limited at 5’6” so struggled and wasted his basketball scholarship. He is scared to mention his blood parents as he feels his adoptive father was his only real family member.

Civilian life[]

On his first day in the city, Kenny was told to mew and became addicted to it. He spent months at Snr. Buns with Audra Rosé, Tom Tater, Margo Escargot, and Dee Bo. After saving up, he and Audra bought a house in Mirror Park with Blade Blackthorn.

Kenny was surprised to see Finley Schmidt reviving Snr. Buns and began working there again. Soon after, she got Kenny hired at Big Dawg Noodles. One day, Blade grew frustrated with him and Audra and challenged Kenny at gunpoint to murder her. After both pled for their life, Blade shot them. Weeks later, Audra said she had been jealous of Finley, but he eventually convinced her to let Finley move in.

Following a rough day, Kenny left his key at the house, took his bed, and ran away from home. He was later placed in the ICU by Arthur Klaus with an allergic reaction to chicken and a resulting panic attack. He spent three nights in hospital.

Crime[]

Kenny was previously terrified of being caught and is escaping his pacifist ways each time he visits prison. Having left the ICU, Kenny was confused and worried about his friendships, he second guessed his interactions and considered a new life. To escape his emotions, Kenny told Gren Cooper he was ready to join GAG and went on two heists.

After six months of being clean, Kenny was arrested roof running with Gren and Mira. He was taken to the BCSO office where he and Gren held an HR meeting. Days later, he was caught again and drove away before crashing. The felony caused Kenny to lose contact with his friend and police officer, TJ Stallings, who had been trying to lead him down a better path.

Kenny completed a felon rehab programme to clear his record and began spending time with Olga and Gren doing Gruppe 6. Whilst with Evelynn, she began to argue with Alonso Capoli who continued the beef on Twatter. He knifed Kenny's throat at Big Dawg Noodles, and arranged to meet her. Alonso stabbed Evelynn before a gunfight ensued and they fled.

He was involved in another shootout between Saints and Goofy Ahh Gang following Olga being involved in a hostage situation and Cilantro and Barrett shooting down their leader in revenge. Saints shot Kenny once before later arriving outside the GAG house, shooting Evelynn, and breaching to down the rest of the gang inside.

Due to his contacts within Besties, Kenny was able to secure GAG their biggest deal yet as pushers in Little Seoul, but received little to no recognition for it and felt excluded. After a few quiet months with GAG, Kenny and Olga left to join a new gang, built by Jamie, Marissa, Aries, and his adoptive father JR, named Halo.

Relationships[]

His closest friends are Evelynn, Olga, Tater, Gren, and Audra. He enjoyed doing crime with Mira Whana who called him her boyfriend, but spent time getting to know Evelynn Dulciña instead after both admitted to liking each other since they met. Without telling anyone, Kenny and Evelynn grew closer and spent most days together as boyfriend and girlfriend for three months. A month after their separation Kenny developed a crush on Valentina Rosario before things got complicated and ended.

Kenny gets along with most people, but dislikes Alonso Capoli, Blade Blackthorn, and Bobby Charles. He previously hated Zahn Zias who bullied him, robbed him, and shot his friend. However, Kenny feels a unique relationship to him and thanks to his friend CJ, Kenny learned to stand up for himself and beat Zahn in a fight. Kenny lost trust in CJ after Evelynn warned him that she was likely involved in their ocean dumping, which was later confirmed by Zahn after being blooded out of Cypress.
