Kenneth/Tropes

Tropes / Filler

Good is not Soft

If you have to look along the shaft of an arrow from the wrong end, if a man has you entirely at his mercy, then hope like hell that man is an evil man. Because the evil like power, power over people, and they want to see you in fear. They want you to know you're going to die. So they'll talk. They'll gloat. They'll watch you squirm. They'll put off the moment of murder like another man will put off a good cigar. So hope like hell your captor is an evil man. A good man will kill you with hardly a word.
-Terry Pratchett, 'Men at Arms', on Carrot Ironfounderson

Kenneth is a good man. That doesn't mean he's going to hesitate to squish bad people into paste.

Brutal Honesty

"Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass."
-Cordelia, Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Kenneth doesn't do the whole deception thing. He doesn't do polite, either. Direct and to the point, always - if you don't like the answer, you shouldn't have asked for one.

The Stoic

"A cucumber is bitter; throw it away. There are briars in the road; turn aside from them. This is enough. Do not add, 'And why were such things made in the world?'"
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
