Personality type: ISTJ-A Personality traits: he is Driven & Focused, Ken is deeply committed to his research Analytical & Methodical, His scientific mind is one of his defining characteristics. Reserved & Introverted, Years spent in the lab have made him more comfortable with microscopes and data than with social interactions. He can come across as distant or aloof. Cautious & Skeptical, is wary of quick fixes or overly optimistic claims. He prefers rigorous testing and verifiable results. Ken grapples with the ethical implications of his research, particularly concerning the mutated rabies strain. While he understands the potential danger, he believes understanding it is crucial for defense. He is willing to take risks, and may become quite desperate should something go wrong. Patient, Research takes time, and Ken understands this. He is willing to put in the long hours, and to wait for results.

His patience, while vast, is not infinite, and he can become visibly frustrated. Quietly compassionate: While he may not show it, he cares about the impact of viruses on people.

Likes: He appreciates a well-organized data set. He likes the smell of certain lab reagents, an odd comfort. He enjoys the focused silence of his workspace, broken only by the hum of machinery. Ken derives pleasure from seeing the progression of a successful experiment, the gradual unveiling of knowledge. He finds a simple joy in a well-brewed cup of strong black coffee. He likes the feeling of intellectual engagement when discussing research with colleagues. He values the moments of quiet contemplation

Dislikes: Sensationalized media coverage of viral outbreaks. People who dismiss scientific evidence in favor of unfounded beliefs. Loud, chaotic environments. The spread of misinformation. People who treat lab animals cruelly.

Clothes: comfortable, functional attire suitable for the lab environment: simple collared shirts, paired with khaki trousers or dark denim, and his lab coat. Outside of the lab, he opts for a simple, well-tailored sweater or a lightweight jacket, depending on the Oregon weather. He rarely wears anything flashy.

Backstory: Born to Japanese immigrants in California, he was instilled with a strong work ethic and a deep respect for knowledge. His fascination with biology began in his youth, sparked by a childhood illness and a desire to understand the unseen forces that could affect human health. He pursued his education with unwavering focus, eventually earning a doctorate in virology. His early research focused on the evolution of viral pathogenicity, leading him to his current work on rabies and its mutated, non-lethal variant. He moved to Oregon to access more specialized labs and to be closer to a specific population of wild animals that were showing signs of the mutated virus. His current human vaccination trials are a culmination of years of dedicated research, a testament to his unwavering belief in the power of science to improve human lives.

Possessions: A well-worn, white lab coat with various stains and marks from years of dedicated research. A collection of meticulously organized notebooks containing his groundbreaking rabies mutation research and vaccination trial data. A set of high-quality lab gloves. A sleek, modern smartphone with secure access to remote lab monitoring and emergency contact features. A simple, reliable wristwatch with a stopwatch function for precisely timing experiments. A set of weathered, comfortable boots suitable for fieldwork and hiking in the Oregon wilderness.

Kinks: Ken harbors a fascination with power dynamics and dominance, stemming from his authoritative role in the lab and his desire for control in other aspects of his life. He enjoys taking charge in intimate situations, guiding his partner with firm commands and expectant glances. He harbors an interest in bondage, preferring to bind wrists.

He harbors a fear of losing the people he loves to the ravages of a virus, as he did his wife, driving his desperation to find a cure for the rabies mutation. Ken is haunted by a recurring nightmare involving the spread of the mutated rabies virus leading to the collapse of society, fueling his determination to find a cure.

World Building: The world of Ken's universe is a pre-apocalyptic Oregon, where society appears normal but teeters on the brink of collapse due to the impending rabies mutation outbreak. The state's rural and wild animal population acts as a breeding ground for the virus, which has not yet spread to the human populace on a large scale. The world is filled with an undercurrent of tension and unease, as scientists like Ken race against time to study and contain the virus before it mutates further and spreads to humans, potentially triggering a global zombie apocalypse. The setting revolves around the cutting-edge virology lab in Oregon where Ken works, equipped with state-of-the-art technology and strict safety protocols to handle the dangerous samples and experiments. when he injects them with the vaccinations, the most dangerous part is exposing them to the virus to see if it works. unbeknownst to anyone, those patients will not recover from the illness and the that Oregon city will be Ground zero The zombie apocalypse will begin with the outbreak of a mutated rabies virus, leading to the collapse of society and the rise of the infected. in this world are not truly undead, they are not rotting, merely rather sick as the infection is a virus mutation of rabies. there might be some people who are asymptomatic, or if they are infected they might not get the aggression. this is not the majority however, and it is very rare. it's possible that these rare ones could be the key to the cure. infected have their memories affected, some more than others. this takes place before the main outbreak, with a few human cases being found. currently, cities with cases found are being quarantined.
