Kenny (Point Lookout)

Latchkey Kenny is one of the inhabitants of Point Lookout in the year 2277.

Background
 He lives on his own in Herzog Mine surrounded by traps he learned to make. He was born to swampfolk and spent his early childhood hidden in his parent's basement because he "don't got the marks" which caused the other swampfolk to shoot at him like they shoot at the others without the marks. During his time in the cellar he learned how to make traps by taking apart and rebuilding anything he could find.

He later ran away from home and took up residence in the old mine. He chose the mine because rumors of it being haunted would keep locals away.

Daily schedule
He stays in his makeshift house and on occasions he shoots junk off of a shelf with his BB gun.

Effects of player actions

 * With a speech check, using Child at Heart or by retrieving his Kenny-Bear from the bottom of the mine's Shaft he will allow you to stay with him in the mine, and will let you store your loot in the containers.

Other interactions

 * You can also play either tag or hide-and-seek with him when asked after convincing him to let you stay in the mine.

Appearances
Kenny appears only in the Fallout 3 add-on Point Lookout.

Behind the scenes

 * Kenny's nickname of "Latchkey Kenny" is a reference to the phenomenon of Latchkey kids, children who return to an empty home because their parents are at work or otherwise absent, or who spends large amounts of time without parental supervision. Both definitions apply to Kenny.
 * Kenny is a jab at urban myths of hillbillies having disfigured children due to inbreeding and locking the disfigured child in a basement to hide the child out of shame, but a reverse version of this myth. Instead of normal parents hiding their disfigured child in a basement, it is disfigured parents hiding their normal child in a basement.

Bugs

 * While he is sleeping, the player has the option to "Murder" him (only with the Mister Sandman perk). However, if you use the Murder option, he will still be alive. The player will still gain exp (even with patched version), and this can be repeated for infinite experience.
 * If you play hide and seek with Kenny and use Stealth Boy you can talk to Kenny and he will reply as usual but the second you move while standing you will be "found".
