-Basics-Face Claim: Nick Offerman
Name: Alfred Kennedy Murphy III
Age: 42
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Height: 5’11
Fashion: Forest Ranger meets America’s outdoorsman. When not wearing his forest Ranger uniform, Ken can usually be found in khaki pants, a polo shirt or flannel shirt that has been tucked in. He always wears hiking books and is your typical middle-aged, American outdoorsman.
Physical Description:
Ken has a “dad” bod, but is of average height for a male, with a small bit of tummy on him. He has a well-groomed mustache he takes great pride in and has piercing blue eyes. He has brown hair that he keeps well taken care of. There are a few strands of grey already appearing in his mustache and beard, but he’s not concerned about it. Ken usually has a permanent scowl on his face or a “really” look. He’s a bit grumpy, but he oftentimes can also be seen smiling. In which case his whole face lights up and it’s like he’s a different person.
-Personality-Description:
Picture your typical white American middle-age male. Ken loves his country, and he really loves the outdoors and sports. He’s very proud of his accomplishments and can be a bit misogynist. He was raised with old fashioned values, so he’s very much so a “manly” man. He loves meat and potatoes, rarely eats a vegetable, and loves football. Ken can come across as a bit of an ass and know it all. He’s a bit a stubborn and opinionated and has a hard time listening to anyone (namely kids and women)
On the inside, Ken is actually a really sensitive soul, who loves his three cats with all his being. He’ll cry at feel-good movies and then pretend something is stuck in his eye, and he actually really likes art. He’s also a big sucker for opera.
Habits/Hobbies:
-Background-History:
Alfred Kennedy Murphy III was the first son born to Fred and Olive Murphy. The Murphy’s have been in Xander’s Cross for as long as anyone can remember and they’ve always been the “keepers of the forest.” It was no surprise when Ken was finally of age that he would follow in the footsteps of the Murphy’s before him and become the Head Forest Ranger of Xander’s Cross.
Ken is very active in his community, he is a troop leader to the adventure scouts, and also coaches the High School Football team. He has dreams of showing teens what life is really about, and not about the technical devices they’re always glued too. Ken actually really wants to be a dad, but has never really found “the one” yet.
As he’s getting older he’s trying to focus his efforts on settling down, and finding Mrs. Murphy, who will hopefully give him three strong sons.

Secret:
Ken has had a crush on Maria Faulkner for years, though he’s never acted on his feelings, he tends to clam up whenever she’s around. Ken knows there’s
something in the forest and that it’s not just your typical one either. He’s in complete denial about it, and refuses to accept what it is.
The Murphy’s have been the “Guardians” of the Port Leche Forest for centuries. Their duty has always been to protect the town folks of Xander’s Cross from the thing in the woods and enforce the unspoken laws of the forest. Namely, they make sure no one messes with the White Deer, and keep people away from the thing. Ken is unaware of this and hasn’t been told his family’s history completely.
