Profile[]
Biography[]
Kick was raised in West Philadelphia with his fraternal twin brother, Dive. When trouble brewed at their local park, the boys’ mother sent them to live with their Uncle Sensei in Bel Air to learn how to Divekick. Kick strives to perfect the art of kicking, and is sure that success on the Divekick circuit will help him launch a music career. His focus on chasing the local honeys has lead him to neglect his dive training, however.
Appearance[]
Kick's outfit is overall very similar to Dive's: he wears the same type of training suit, the same sweatbands and the same sneakers, however the former two are black instead of Dive's blue ones and his sneakers are red instead of black. Kick also sports a backwards baseball cap instead of a hood like his brother, underlining his laid-back personality.
