austin’s mom: terri, partial owner of a lingerie boutique
austin’s dad: harvey, owner of a strip club
sounds like a match made in heaven, right? well, neither of them ever felt that vibe
terri & harvey never married and never lived under the same roof, despite managing to have 3 kids together. ‘co-parenting’ is their chosen descriptor for their relationship, no matter what phase of on-again or off-again they’re currently in.
sometime in the 2nd grade austin just started telling people that his parents were divorced and that’s the story he’s stuck with ever since.
had a very self-sufficient/wild & free type childhood alongside his older brother and younger sister. up until their late teens, they spent nearly everyday after school at the mall where their mom’s shop was, set loose to entertain themselves until closing. terrorized the food court & really became window shopping experts
attended asu on scholarship for 4 years and majored in creative writing, although he has yet to do anything productive with his degree.
as a belated graduation gift, his dad gave him an old catering van from a failed business venture (who woulda guessed that no one wants food from the dude who owns a strip joint??) and austin gutted the van to travel with a friend’s punk band
ratTAILS (he still has no clue if it’s meant like the rodent or the hairstyle skmfjsmd) never rocketed into stardom, but they managed to pick up enough spotty gigs to keep them rollin’ for a couple years. austin wound up all along the west coast, acting as a built-in roadie, always circling back around in the southwest to touch base with family.
has visited the grand canyon 11 times and would be happy to make it a 12th
before landing in silver lake, austin lived in palm springs for a while. he worked as a caddy at a country club and is truly Shamed by how much golf knowledge he now has
libra & isfp
somewhat of a pushover, esp struggles with saying ‘no’ to people that he’s just met
Cannot and Will Not take life advice, no matter how much he may need it
has a couple ( x, x ) tattoos
LOVES any film by the coen bros & m night shyamalan. forever maintains that the village is the ultimate romcom, not sorry
has been a vegetarian since he was 14, but not really for any moral reason. austin just hated preparing meat when it was his turn to cook dinner skkfksjdm
can often be found wearing headphones at work, good luck guessing his fave artist
ok i still hate writing intros, so that’s all (: feel free to hmu if you wanna brainstorm a fun plot or potential connection - austin’s lived/traveled all around the southwest, so there’s tons of possibilities. and, as always, i’m totally down to whip up a random thread to just send our charas off and see what happens!
