judgement was at one point in time something he didn’t take lightly. from the moment he’d stepped in this horrid town all those years back it seemed like the majority of the residents just couldn’t accept him. avery felt like a misfit before the label was ever tossed at him and it was something he would have let roll right off the back and he’d went back home to england to forget the first impression that america gave him. - but there was a baby on it’s way. now, six years later he stood on the outside of the establishment for the mayor’s third union. a cigarette placed limply between lips to inhale that last bit of smoke and dropping the butt to the ground to smash with the tip of his boot. jade green hues land on a strappy heeled foot and the disgusted sound that reached his ears gave it away that his new company was not one of his fellow mislabeled mates. a slow lift to meet the woman’s eyes, he’s releasing the smoke in her face instead of up into the air like he usually did. with a smug grin pulling at his lips he pushes away from the wall to invade the woman’s space, “evening ma’am. you sure do look fit tonight.” a compliment dipped in sarcasm coming out in a heavy british accent. the disgusted expression that falls upon her features does literally nothing to him, only causing his smile to grow especially when hearing the scoff as she sauntered off.
broad shoulders roll to try and ease the slight ache that crept in his back, something that he knew to expect from the position he’d been stuck in while doing a tattoo the night prior. “bout fucking time.” the words fall from his tongue once finally spotting one of the fellow scorned. honestly he didn’t see the point in all of this and he much rather would’ve been home with a paint brush grasped in his fingers. “i could go for some cake.” he knew where his first stop would be.
i’m finally back and able to do a few replies to im’s and work on getting avery on the dash. so i’ll be round for a bit to work on things, but am absolutely exhausted. so if i disappear i’ll be around tomorrow for sure.
AVERY BENNETT, the TATTOO ARTIST / FREELANCE ARTIST at blue lagoon is known around town for being quite EVASIVE & CYNICAL. but don’t listen to them. everyone at the underground club agrees that HE is actually quite CHARISMATIC & HARD-WORKING. they’re only scorned because HE STARTED A DRUNKEN FIGHT JUST WEEKS AFTER ARRIVING IN TOWN. lame, right? for those who know them well, AIMLESS DEAD OF THE NIGHT DRIVES, PAINT STAINED FINGERS, A SCATTERING OF INK COVERING FLESH, BITTEN RAW LIPS, BRIGHTLY COLORED CHIPPED POLISHED NAILS always makes them come to mind.
hello lads! i’m t, preferred pronouns are she/her and i live in the eastern timezone. this here is mr. avery bennett, an oc of mine that i’ve been playing on and off since 2013. just a little tweaking to fit the plot and a new name because why not and here we are. he’s my baby and it’s actually been a good while since i’ve played him so i’m really excited to do so here with you guys. unfortunately this evening will be busy for me and so this is actually queued. i don’t know how much i’ll be around until tomorrow, but feel free to pop into my im’s or to send me a message on discord to plot out some things.

TW’S : mentions of abuse, alcohol, scars, anixety, & ptsd.
about /
first things first, avery was born and raised in croydon, england, a town according to google that is 52 minutes outside of london. his parents stephen and amelia welcomed a second child when avery was three years old. their family was complete.
avery was six when his father lost his job and the occassional beer here and there became several drinks a night. the elder bennett male wasn’t a pleasant drunk.
his father was abusive mentally and emotionally first. hateful words being thrown at him since he was a young boy and it sticking to him like glue. the abuse became physical on his mother first, milo and his sister always staying upstairs and hiding in a closet. he was eleven when he came down to try to help one night, hearing his mother crying and glass breaking. that was the first night the physical abuse was turned on him and he suffered through it for five years until his mother was brave enough to divorce and get a restraining order against her husband.
from an early age he had started to show an interest in art. it wasn’t until a counselor at his highschool had bought him a sketch pad did he really dive into the talent. something the woman decided to do after teachers noticed him drawing all over his school work, in the margins of books, and doodling instead of listening in class.
he’s very artistically talented and spends a large chunk of his time creating. some of his stuff so good people have bought them for their homes.
avery took a liking to alcohol after his parents finally divorced. feeling that he could finally escape the bubble that he was forced in and exploring the things around him, rebelling. it landed him in handcuffs more than once.
came to the states for school, but didn’t feel that it was necessarily for him. he’s now working as a tattoo artist and selling his art when he can.
was diagnosed with ptsd and anxiety after visiting a psychiatrist. he was very much in denial, but went with because he’d promised his mother that he would. was prescribed medication, but doesn’t always take it.
extras /
the physical abuse was never turned on his sister.
he’s got a few scars from the abuse. most noticeable if he takes his shirt off. one that wraps around his hip and one on his shoulder from a “fall” and a few smaller ones from “accidental” broken glass.
has nightmares from time to time. they’re much less often now.
cheeky and charming. seems a little conceited, but truthfully he’s very self-loathing. he wears a mask well.
stubborn as all hell.
way to flirtatious.
a bit of an insomniac.
was ‘scorned’ because he had started a drunken fight in a bar shortly after arriving to the states.
he’s sober now, but truthfully only because he’s a daddy.
you’ll often spot him sporting messily painted and chipped nail polish courtesy of his daughter raven. ask him about it, he’ll probably show you the work of the six year.
relationship? no. a hook up though? sure.
is completely sleeved out. has a few of harry’s ( the cross on his hand for example ) and some of the tiny small ones on his wrists. that’s the only ones of harry’s though. has a few alice in wonderland tattoos and one harry potter tattoo.
would have gone home to england after being deemed ‘scorned’ if it hadn’t have been for his ex’s pregnancy.
is a completely muma’s boy. talks to his sister and mum often.
has a kitten named davinci. raven (his daughter) definitely talked him into taking it home.
