Kenneth Geib reportin' for duty! I'm 24, and I'm a Philly local by heart and soul.
KENNETH Geib
Age: 24 (born January 13, 1996) Birthplace: Norfolk, Virginia Current residence: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Occupation: Roofer Marital Status: Single Species: American Badger Height: 5' 10" (179 cm) Weight: 200 lbs. (91 kg)
So, my family's been working-class for generations. A lot of men and women from the Geibs have been countrymen or construction or blue-collar, and that ethic of "hard work" has always been ingrained on me since day one. I could pick locks when I was eight, change a pipe when I was ten, and pretty much set up my whole dorm on college while charging on the side for others. Beer money's as good a money as any!
Working in construction is not the easiest job, nor the most consistent. Once the snow starts to fall, you can forget anything gettin' done. But once I'm out of the top of houses I can focus on my true passion, which is training; honing my body to become the hard hitter I'm today. I'm doing good with my squad around the CrossFit box, but... come on, that prize money's gonna make everything a wee bit easier for Uncle Kenneth, dontcha think?
Kenneth is all you know about badgers times hundred. Rowdy, headstrong and sturdy, unafraid to take risks or to fuck shit up if I'm cornered. The second Kenneth's steps in the room, he becomes the number one, and if he ain't he'll get there in a snap. And by the way, he doesn't go by Kenny or Ken, so these guys better not get too jolly... ladies can, sure, but not these plywoods!
I... need this title. I've been meaning for a while to establish my own CrossFit and personal training business, so you can bet I'm eager to make the transition from roofs to training grounds. Me and my business partner are putting all our time and effort into this project and winning this show will make our dream a guarantee. She has been an amazing right paw on this entire thing, and once I get home with the title, we'll be on out merry way to open our box and become CrossFit icons. It doesn't hurt she is also a fiery, shapely badger in the meantime, heheh.
The other guys might think I'm a meathead and easy to shrug off, but there's more to me than just that. Sure I might act like a dumb jock most of the time, I might let people pretend that's all I got, but at the end of the day I'm no slouch when it comes to mindgames. I'm here to be respected and maybe teach some of these smart-asses a thing or two, like... if these guys want to start shit, I will end it, because my word is final and I don't take "no" for an answer here. The path is set and you better fall in line, Kenneth's line, right here! Don't be thinking no funny business, the badger spoke!
I'm the American Mustelid Alpha because I want it and I know how to get it. I'm one of the most versatile mustelids in the business, and will easily take care of anything there is. The title's going to Philly and staying there for good.

From the City of Brotherly Love comes Kenneth, a young, strong-willed badger who aspires to drop his job in constructions to move into the fitness industry 24/7. Confidence and hard work are his main traits in life: since an early age he's been used to do things himself, step out of his comfort zone and challenge his own limits and idiosyncrasies. Having scraped his way towards becoming a ranked CrossFit athlete in his state, there's no doubt he possesses the physical tools to succeed at this game - but can he control his temper enough to win respect of his peers and cement his Alpha legacy?
Thanks a bunch to the amazing Crocdragon89 who took on the duty of drawing the whole cast and played a major part in bringing our vision to life! <3
From now on, we'll be posting each upcoming episode in two parts for easier reading - first part coming out on Tuesdays, second part on Thursdays. Episode 2, "What Are The Chances?", will be out on January 5th and 7th!
American Mustelid Alpha is the brainchild of HeadQuarters (the joint project of Qovapryi and Harlow). Kenneth Geib and all mentioned characters belong to them both.
