IN CHARACTER – DETAILS (OPTIONAL)
ADDITIONAL DETAILS (This can be about their personality or general background.): Ant was born in 1933 in Chicago, Illinois. His father is a hazy memory, at first a shadowy nightmare and then an absence. Most of Anthony’s childhood was marked by WW2, not only because of his father’s death. Much like America’s economy, however, Ant’s life improved with the war. His mother, given a freedom she had been previously denied, found a passion for sculpting with clay, and Ant was allowed to pursue music as a career.
Their life together was touched by good fortune from there on out, with Ant even managing to get through the Vietnam draft without being called upon. Luck, however, would not hold out. In 1974 a freak weather event ripped through the US, with 148 tornadoes touching down all over the country right after the other. Many people died, and Ant was one of them.
Waking again as a Muse, Ant took it as a sign not that his music career had not been successful enough, but that he was given one more chance to find true love. Even with that in mind, though, Ant could not bear to leave his mother, and he became her muse within the week.
Their happiness continued, Miranda thrilled to have her son back and safe, until 1994 when Miranda passed away from complications due to old age.
Ant was suddenly disillusioned with being a muse, suddenly aware that he would have to watch almost everyone he knew die one day. Grieving and afraid to get close to anyone, Ant did not enter another artist until almost a decade later.
In 2017, Ant entered his second bond with TBA. Currently, he is feeling completely unfulfilled. Although he enjoys his artist’s work, Ant finds it lonely to have his soul bound to someone who doesn’t really care for him as a person.
Recently, Ant has met Cooper Flynn, and feels a connection with him that makes him long for the deep, life-changing soul bonds in the legends, even though he knows it could never be without breaking his current bond. Even a simple romantic relationship seems out of his reach currently, as Ant is terrified of watching Cooper die one day.
