Nothing's too excessive when you've got nothing left;
EYE COLOR: Brown HAIR COLOR: Brown HEIGHT: 5'9
PERSONALITY: Donovan is quirky, outgoing and in the habit of always speaking his mind, regardless whether or not it's in his best interests to do so. He doesn’t wear his heart on his sleeve, and while you may think that he cares about you, it’s likely that it’s all an act. He is his own number one, but deep down he is a good man and once you manage to earn his trust he is very loyal and devoted. He would die for someone he truly cared about.
If we all should die tonight we would have no regrets;
BACKGROUND: Donovan was born into the typical middle-class household. His father did not approve of him from the beginning, favoring his older brother Roger, but his mother was always very supportive and looked out for him. He was a rambunctious kid- well-meaning, but often got himself into trouble and didn’t always apply himself in school. His father said it was because the boy was useless, but his mother knew he was clever, even though he never had all the awards and honors that Roger did.
Donovan never liked his dad, and continued to rebel against what his father wanted to be all throughout school. He started smoking at the age of 14 and didn’t spend much time at home. He didn’t like to make his mother worry, but he was stubborn and didn’t like living under his father’s roof. He was always independent, comfortable being one of the smart-mouthed ‘badasses’ at school. He never held high regard for authority and believed that he didn’t need to rely on anyone but himself. Until his senior year.
When he was 17 he met Jayla, and his life was changed instantly. She was a rebel- her hair never stayed the same color for more than a month, and she had a good head on her shoulder and a wild spirit that matched his own. She was the only one he revealed the details of his mutation to (a secret that enabled him to isolate himself further from his family), and she still accepted him. He fell for her hard, and they dated for the remainder of their time at high school.
Once out of school, Donovan and Jayla moved to Dexly, got a modest apartment in the Lower District, and were married the year he turned 20. Though he did end up socking his dad in the face at the wedding for referring to Jayla as a ‘two-dollar’ whore, his mother was still proud of her son for going after what he wanted. On the other hand, Donnie did not speak to his father again, and was still on bad terms with the man when he passed suddenly from a heart attack later that year.
In Dexly, Donnie was employed as a writer for the Dexly reporter and believes it his duty to bring the people the truth no matter how dirty it happens to be. He's made good friends with his co-workers and sticks to the Lower District, though he will cross the boundaries for a good lead.
