Character Name: Kenny McCormick
Series: South Park
Timeline: End of "Coon vs. Coon & Friends"
Canon Resource Link: Kenny's wiki page.
Character Background:

When Kenny's mother was pregnant with him, his parents joined the cult of Cthulhu for the free beer and participated in a bizarre ritual. His parents thought nothing of it until he turned nine years old and began to die repeatedly. Every time Kenny dies, his mother gives birth to him again, and he grows back into his nine-year-old self overnight, retaining all of his memories.

Although Kenny is one of the more intelligent and mature members of the group (especially in Coon & Friends), he's still a child. He enjoys toilet humor, especially the show Terrance and Phillip, and is extremely foul-mouthed. His orange hoodie (which he wears every day) muffles his speech, although his friends can understand him perfectly; this allows him to get away with swearing more often than his peers. He is extremely lecherous for his age, often stealing his father's porno magazines, and becomes addicted to "cheesing" in order to see the breasts of the woman who appears in his hallucinations. Out of all of his friends, he's gotten the farthest with a girl; unfortunately, he died of syphillis from the encounter.

His family is extremely poor. His parents spend most of their money on alcohol and drugs, and operate a meth lab in their backyard (which they have been arrested for once already). His parents spend whatever they have left over from their addictions on food. Normal, middle class kids are able to eat cereal and have normal dishes for dinner; Kenny's family eats bread sandwiches for breakfast and dishes such as frozen waffles (no syrup), pop tarts, and microwaveable pizzas for dinner. Kenny's family is so poor that all of his belongings fit in a cardboard box. Because of his family's poverty, Kenny is willing to do crazy antics and dangerous stunts for money. His reckless behavior has resulted in his death numerous times. If he survives the stunt, Kenny usually gets paid and uses the money on things such as a World of Warcraft subscription, a PSP, and other gadgets that are trendy with kids his age.

Kenny has a superhero persona known as Mysterion. Other than protecting his sister from bullies and convincing his parents to not beat each other up as much, to treat their kids better, and not get high as much as they normally would, he reported public offenses to the police, which enraged the Coon (Eric Cartman's superhero persona). Mysterion refused to reveal his true identity as Kenny, prompting the Coon to convince Professor Chaos (Butters' supervillain persona) to help him take down Mysterion. Professor Chaos threatened to blow up a hospital; Kenny had no choice but to appear. He defeated his nemesis and his lackey in a fist-fight. Cartman convinced him to reveal himself to the town of South Park in a press conference in order to prevent other terrorist attacks from happening.

Some time later, Kenny joins the organization of Coon and Friends as Mysterion, to assist them in fighting crime. Although the Coon is technically in charge (their headquarters are in Cartman's basement and Eric had special alarm systems installed in each of the super heroes' homes to notify them of a meeting), Mysterion seems to be the unofficial leader. When Cartman becomes obsessed with getting a new hero, Captain Hindsight, to join their group, Kenny suggests to him that there are more important things to take care of, such as the Gulf Oil Crisis. The other members of the organization agree; the Coon lashes out at the Mosquito and Mint Berry Crunch (Clyde and Bradley's superhero personas) for their suggestion that they have a bake sale to help raise money to help the people in the Gulf. This prompts Mysterion and the others to vote the Coon out of his own organization.

Mysterion keeps the name Coon and Friends "because it pisses Cartman off beyond belief and I find that extremely funny". At the bake sale, they're approached by a member of the cult of Cthulhu, who tells them that they can't stop the coming darkness (the BP Oil company accidentally summoned Cthulhu while trying to undo the damage they had done in the Gulf). When the heroes return to their headquarters, they find it trashed by Captain Hindsight, who is desperate to find the "pictures taken of him having sex with Courtney Love" (it was really Butters dressed in make up posing with a drunk homeless man). He pulls a gun on the kids, and Kenny confronts Hindsight - he does not fear death; he's died many times before. He tells the others to leave, and they do so, while he talks to Hindsight. Kenny is skeptical of Hindsight's "curse" to see everything in hindsight, admitting for the first time to someone that he can't die, which is all the more tormenting due to the fact that no one can remember him doing so.

Kenny discovers his parents were involved in the cult of Cthulhu when the boys look up the cult on the internet. He's shocked and confronts his parents as Mysterion, who tell him where the cult's headquarters are. Coon and Friends go to spy on the cult, and a certain passage in their holy book, the Necronomicon, interests him: "That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die." Upon hearing this, Kenny believes this may be the key to his powers. Having recognized the goth kids in the cult, he confronts them in an alleyway. Before he can get any answers, he's stabbed to death by the cult's leader who proclaims that Cthulhu wants him dead.

He wakes up the next morning in his bed, wearing his clothes, with his friends not remembering anything that happened. Kenny is extremely upset at this, finally confessing to his friends that his power is real, and not something that he's just pretending to have. The conversation escalates until he demands that Kyle remember him dying, and shoots himself in the head. He wakes up again, and Cartman comes back, feigning remorse. No one takes him seriously, and he reveals his true colors: he has joined forces with Cthulhu in order to "make the world a better place". He urges Cthulhu to send the Coon and Friends to R'Lyeh, the dimension Cthulhu hails from. Kenny purposefully kills himself, knowing that he will wake up in South Park and be able to save his friends. He confronts the Goth kids once again, who explain to him that only an immortal can kill another immortal. Kenny realizes he has no choice: he is the only one that could possibly stand a chance in beating Cthulhu and saving his comrades.

Kenny, as Mysterion, arrives at San Francisco (Cthulhu's recent area of destruction) and confronts Cartman, accusing him of not being a true hero because he is making the world a better place for himself and not other people. He offers his life to Cthulhu in exchange for his friends' safe return. Before Cthulhu can do anything, a strange message from space arrives for "Gok'Zarah". Kenny believes the message is for him, but it turns out it's for Mint Berry Crunch instead. Mint Berry Crunch saves the rest of the Coon and Friends from R'Lyeh, seals Cthulhu away and cures the Gulf of the oil spill. Kenny gives up on trying to convince his friends of his powers; he states that he's tired and wants to go to bed, shooting himself in the head after saying good night.

Abilites/Special Powers: Kenny cannot die. When he is killed, he is literally reborn and wakes up the next morning at the same age, retaining all of his memories [note: to keep the 5-death-rule at Eway, I am going to only make it more difficult for Kenny to die than usual]. Kenny uses his superhero persona Mysterion to perform great feats of heroism. He can hold his own in a fist fight, and jump from heights that would normally hurt another person (this is most likely due to the fact that he has died many times and his pain tolerance is greater). He has also taught himself how to sing opera.

Third-Person Sample:

What the fuck? This was the only thing Kenny McCormick could think when he woke up. The mattress was soft and comfortable, the ceiling he opened his eyes up to wasn't cracked or peeling with paint, and the musky scent of mold was gone. Sitting up in bed, he looked down at himself - ironically, he was still wearing the same fucking hoodie he had been for the past...how long has it been? He isn't sure. It's difficult to keep track of time when you die practically every day.

Gazing around the room, his eyes widened in shock. There was clean carpet, a decent closet, an unbroken mirror, and a nice desk. Everything was neat, new, and tidy - it was such a change from his home in South Park that for a second he wondered if he really had died for good. Is this heaven? Or am I dreaming still? A quick check of his pulse told him that no, he was not dead, nor was he dreaming.

He got out of bed, still full of awe. The carpet was soft underneath his feet, and running to the closet, he threw the doors open. A pile of new, folded clean clothes greeted him, and before he could help himself, he gave out a cry of "woo hoo!". This was great! He could barely believe his good luck. Had his family won the lottery and he didn't know about it? He really hoped that was the case, and couldn't wait to go to school to rub it in Cartman's face. Let's see that fatass try to crack poor jokes now, he thought in jubilation, running over to the door of his room.

When he opened the door, Kenny definitely didn't expect to find a long hallway full of other doors leading to other rooms. He scratched his head in puzzlement; was he in a hotel? Where was his family? What was going on? The questions hounded him as he went back inside his room. Frowning, his gaze drifted to the strange communicator on the desk. Maybe his friends were around? He could always try to text them and find out what had changed this time. I better get to the bottom of this.

First-Person Sample:

[TEXT]

So I woke up in a room that isn't mine. Not to complain or anything, because it's a hell of a lot better than my house. I just want to know where the fuck I am.

I would try to get a hold of my mom or dad, but they're probably too busy getting drunk and bitching at each other to really give a shit. I'm kind of worried about my sister, but if she's found herself in a room like this one, I'm sure she's okay.

Kyle, Stan, if any of you guys are around here, tell me what the hell is going on. Is this some kind of fucked up joke that Cartman's pulling on me? Because if he is, I swear to God...the last time was bad enough. The fact that he would send his own friends to a dark oblivion and cause as much chaos and destruction as he did is unforgivable. I plan on exchanging a few words with him the next time we meet, that's for damn sure.

You hear that, Cartman? You ever try to pull any shit like that again, I will kick your ass.
