GASTON JEROME D’AVENANT

“when I grow up I wanna be / a rich-kid born celebrity / it's not greed, but necessity / now I don't focus on the hopeless / when I look out it's only for me / all I wanna do is / live in ecstasy / I know what's best for me / I can't help it / It's this hopeless itch…”

Nicknames: N/A Pronouns: He/him Sexuality: Straight Magic status: Mundus Nationality: English-French Ethnicity: White Accent: English (Southwest) Height: 5’8 Build: Extremely muscular Skin tone: Tan Eye color: Bright baby blues Hair color/length/style: Dark brown, shorter on sides, longer on top like this.

Pets: click here for a brief description of Gaston’s pets!

Occupation: Owner of the Hunted Deer Relationship Status: Single What would you find if you Googled them?: Swynlake Squire articles about his various heroics, the 2017 in memoriam article for his dad, the website for the Hunted Deer, probably some hunting accolades. What natives would know about them: Grew up in Swynlake, family well-liked, he was a town darling throughout school and into his early adulthood. His father was killed when the Underworld opened in 2017 and he got kind of weird after that. People still like him and generally excuse his more firmer anti-magic stances as PTSD lol. Other: Has some issues with Magicks, but generally keeps these to himself. Unless it is vampires, demons, werewolves, etc. He is pretty vocal about disliking those.

GASTON: Gaston awoke coughing in the dark. He felt like his lungs were burning--but as his eyes adjusted to the low light outside, he realized that the burning was coming from everywhere. The room was dry and hot. Smoke seeped in through the cracks of the door. As soon as his feet touched down, he felt the heat in the floorboards too. 

“Maddy, wake the fuck up!” he called at his sleeping bedfellow and then went to the door--which was hot as well. Stepping back, he kicked through it and coughed as smoke billowed through like a monster, coming to wrap its hands around his throat. 

He didn’t stop to see if Maddy was behind him. He went to his mother’s room, kicking that door in too and waking her up, shoving her towards the stairs and then the back entrance.

“Gaston, wait--” 

“I gotta go see what is going on!” Gaston said, heading towards the pub proper. 

When he flung open the door, flames greeted him, pulled by the fresh oxygen. He covered his eyes with his forearm and then stepped into the gaming area, the poker tables alight with the fire. And, he registered: figures. Several of them, moving back and forth like the flames themselves.

COLLEGE STUDENT SPEAKS OUT AGAINST BAR OWNER

--

Holley Shiftwell

--

Last August, local tavern owner Gaston D’Avenant. 36, fought against a werewolf that attacked him unprompted. But Pride University student Linnet Beau Blue, 20, has come forward with details surrounding Swynlake’s most recent werewolf attack. 

According to Blue, D’Avenant allegedly assaulted her at knifepoint while in Enchantra Forest. The unidentified werewolf supposedly responded to her cries for help and aided her in fending off D’Avenant. Previously, D’Avenant claimed that the wolf attacked him unprompted, with no mention of Blue’s involvement whatsoever. 

"I reckoned I ought to say something, even though I was scared-- because none of what's happened has been right,” Blue told the Squire. “It's not right that wolves were targeted when that werewolf saved my life. It's not right that magicks keep getting punished. I just don't want anyone else getting hurt."

In the time since the attack, D’Avenant has banned Magicks of all kinds from his business. D’Avenant has been taken in for questioning, but has yet to be charged officially. The Squire has reached out for comment. This story will be updated accordingly.

song: The Beast by Delta Rae

LINNET: When the screaming started, so did the ringing in Linnet’s ears. 

She was, by nature, always sensitive to noise, whether someone mumbling under their breath in a library or another someone screaming their head off. But she had known her fellow music-talents to take issue with the discord. Not Linnet; she could find power in it. Usually.

But soon as that old pub door squealed on its hinges, soon as that man’s boots made the wood planks groan– her heart had ticked up. The panic was in her throat before he’d said a word. When he started to bellow? It was too much.

She knew she hadn’t even shown up but she’d wanted to show her support. She’d wanted to prove she could do it. Stay far back, keep with her friends, and she’d be fine, like that night in the woods never happened.

A Toast to A Legend # [Haston Junior]

[captainjamesjoneshook]

@biceps--to-spare

James braced as best he could against the touch to his shoulder but it felt like it was reverberating down his arm, through his sternum, bones acting like a high hat shaking in a room with a subwoofer working overtime.

This was a lame excuse to James, but he understood it all the same. He had been hoping to get the family legacy all his life. Although the legacy he wanted had only been paved by his father. He didn't care about what the Jones' before him had done, because his father hadn't. He had made his own, along with Mr. Smee.

But he had let that slip right through his fingers.

Now all he had was his mother's and what a fat lot of good that was going to do him.

"Is that why you've put up with all the crap everyone's been given you lately?" he asked, feeling the need to poke the bear now that he was getting stupidly emotional.

[biceps--to-spare]

Gaston chuckled. He wouldn't have put it that way but, well, yeah it was a lot of "crap" that people were giving him.

And only because he was trying to protect his business! They were a bunch of arrogant assholes who didn't even have businesses of their own, or a legacy in Swynlake the way that Gaston did.

"Yeah, 'course. I mean--there have been a few loud mouths, but I've been in this town much longer than any of them. And I have a reputation here. Most people know who I am and they understand where I am coming from. It is easy to ignore those who are trying to bring me down. All that bullshit has more to do with them than it has to do with me!"
