TACITURN LUDDITE
TACITURN LUDDITE
- Theo has barely been in town eight months and he already thinks you're a bunch of weirdos. Not in the "loose-moraled east coaster" way you might think, considering he looks about as American as baseball and presumably has some of those bible belt values in him somewhere (he doesn't), Ashdown's just a little... strange is all. Rumors of missing kids and people with horns can sway a guy, even one who's chosen to live here too. He's a quiet man who likes rainy days, a strong cup of coffee, and a good book, preferably all at once. Not a big fan of fancy phones though, or anything you need electricity to run. Except cars. He likes those. Theo's been fixing them up since he was a kid and they've always had an unspoken understanding.
NUCLEAR FAMILY
- Just over a year ago, Theo and Bekki's divorce was finalized. Two months after that, she decided to move back home to Ashdown with their kids, leaving Theo to choose between relocating across the country or never seeing his daughters again. He chose the move.
Ever since he arrived, Theo has felt rather out of place. He had no real trouble getting an apartment and a couple of jobs, but friends are another story. It doesn't help that he's just not all that friendly. His life is kind of monotonous these days, brightening only when Dorothy and Geraldine come around to visit.
THESE BOOTS WERE MADE FOR WALKING
- The soles of this dreamer's shoes never wear out, the insides never rip, and the uppers never scuff or stain. The rest of this dreamer might get filthy, but their shoes will always be as immaculate as the day they bought them.
