background
((tw death mention, addiction mention))
axel was born and raised in the town.
his family one of the founding families of the town.
he finds it irritating that his family name/legacy is pinned to him

he is frequently seen looking after her.
the addams family frequently donate to the town to help the community.
his grandmother roasts the daylights out of him. they are a comedy duo.
his family are rich as hell, they're fuck you money rich
his parents and siblings died in a freak yacht accident years ago and he was the only survivor. he watched his family die in front of him. death was playing russian roulette with the addams family and axel was last boy left standing.
after the deaths of his family, his grandmother raised him since he was eight.
after the deaths in his family he was acting out unable to process his grief.
he got into trouble with the law over his younger and teenage years but eventually cleaned up his act.
he was a broken guy for a long time but slowly started to open up more.
found a partner and things were going great, eventually things ended and axel fell back into his old ways again. heartbroken and infinite cash, axel wasn't making good decisions.
grandma addams dragged his ass to rehab. he holds the record for most escapes in the rehab facility history. he's not proud of it - he's low-key proud of it. catch him before he goes houdini.
recovering alcoholic & drug addict - attends aa meetings to keep him in line. now sponsors new people wanting to kick their addictions.
axel has always had a talent for fixing things. he started working on cars for fun to pass the time and eventually built it into a career.
he opened up the towns garage and called it marty, naming it after his grandfather. a nod to his grandmother as a thank you.
he’s more likely to be willing to have conversations or entertain people when he is working on cars, it keeps him distracted enough to talk. bonus point if you bring him coffee.
he's like a deer, you need to approach him calmly and with snacks.
has an uncle who's scheming and shitty, but has wile-e-coyote levels of failure in whatever schemes he tries to do.
his grandmother is on his case to settle down and have or adopt kids before she dies. she's started trying to set him up with people. he hates it.
he does want to find that person but he's aware that he comes with a lot of baggage.
