Where did you grow up?
"I grew up in a small town, where nothing really happened. All my life I felt like I was stuck, and nothing ever changed. Every time I tried to leave it seemed like something happened and I had no choice but to stay. That being said, when I finally did leave, I felt almost guilty for leaving that town behind. It was like a piece of me was taken away and I hated that. I visit from time to time, just to walk the roads I grew up wanting to get away from, and I just take a few minutes to remember every dream I had of 'someday', and think about how different I am than what I'd always hoped. So yeah, small town, wanting to get away, that's my whole childhood right here."

What's your favorite color and why?
"I don't really have one favorite. I like a large range of colors, but if I absolutely have to choose one I'd say I like bright blue. It's a very vibrant and exciting color, and it seems to just have so much life. It's just an awesome color, right?"

What's your favorite season?
"Though I really like Fall because of the beginning cold and vibrantly colored trees and leaves, I'd have to go with Winter. Winter is the best because it brings about cuddling and hot cocoa, and of course, snow. That's really one of the very best parts of Winter, the snow and ice skating that come along and just make the day brighter and fuller."

What is your greatest childhood memory?
"My greatest childhood memory has got to be when me and my mom finished the first mini prototype of my wings. It was exciting to me, because of the symbolism that had and what the final product would bring. It was really exciting for a little kid to become more like his role model, even if it's something small like a prototype."

Your worst childhood memory?
"I remember one Summer, I went to a big camp. It was the first time in my entire life I'd been out of the little town I called home, and it was really strange to see so many people my age that I didn't know, because at home I knew everyone my age and everyone knew me. Anyways, at that camp I stayed in a log two room house with 9 other boys my age. Every day we would do weird 'get to know me' quizzes that just kept getting more and more personal. Mid-way through the week, the question 'What do you like most about girls' came up. Being so young, I didn't know any better than to answer very honestly. Too honestly maybe. 'I don't really like girls. I like boys better.' was the answer poor little me gave. After that, I was teased and ridiculed for being 'that kid that likes boys' and 'the attention seeking gay'. From that point on, it seemed like I couldn't go anywhere, not even home, without some kid calling me bad names and making fun of me. Even in the little town I lived in there was always someone who teased me quietly or nagged at me constantly. That question, that very little question, was the worst thing to ever happen in my entire childhood. Now I'm able to take it in and not care, but being a little kid and shoved like that, was terrible."

What is your favorite food and why?
"Without a doubt, hands down, lasagna. It's messy, delicious, and the best food anyone can give me."

Biggest Dream:
"My biggest dream is to settle down, and maybe have a kid. To be able to live peacefully and happily with the love of my life and have a kid running around, would be a great adventure. "

Where is somewhere you want to go someday?
"Just one place? Nah, I want to see the world. I want to travel to Paris, Germany, Rome, China. I want to cross every ocean, and I want to get as many stamps on my passport as is possible in that little book. No, there is not one place I want to see more than any other. I wanna see it all."

If you could learn any 1 language, what would it be and why?
"I think I would learn Latin. Sure it's a dead language, but do you know how cool it would be, to be able to speak such an old language? The founding words to so many other languages out there. Plus, I've heard if you know Latin, it's pretty easy to learn other languages after that."

What's your favorite candle scent?
"This may seem weird, but I really really love candles. I like fruit smelling ones, but also candles that smell clean. I'm pretty sure I have a different smelling candle in every single room in my house, including bathrooms. It's kind of an addiction, to be honest."

How many oceans have you swam in?
"0. Zip. Nada. I've never actually seen an ocean in person, actually. It's kind of sad, cause I want to travel the world, but I think it'll be really cool to be in some weird place like Cozumel Mexico and swim in the ocean for the first time."

What would you name your daughter if you had one?
"I like the name Everly. I think it's very pretty and my daughter could be proud to have that name. I also love the names Willow and Maple for girls. Then again, I think naming kids is difficult until they are born because you may like the name you picked out, but when you see her, she looks like a whole different name would fit her more perfectly, ya know?"

What would you name your son if you had one?
"Robin is a cool name, I like that and Luke for a boy. But same with a daughter, what if I want to name him something and he comes out looking like something completely different?"

What's the worst grade you got on a test?
"Oh that's easy. I flunked a class one time because I got an F on a test. It was a math test, (can you blame me?) and I got I think 10 of 50 correct. Yowzah that was not a good moment, receiving the results on that."

What did you dress up as on Halloween when you were eight?
"When I was 8? Man... I think I was a pirate? I'm not 100% sure, but pretty close. That was a weird stage and I wanted to be a really manly thing for Halloween. Apparently pirates were super manly to me."

What's the first amusement park you've been to?
"I've never been to an amusement park actually. Yeah that sounds sad but it's really not. I'm not big on being around huge crowds of people, waiting in hour long lines, and going on rides that make me sick. I'm also not a fan of heights, so rollercoasters are a big no-no, and all that's left besides those are not-fun kiddie rides. At least... That's what I've heard. Who am I to tell?"

Do you spell the color as grey or gray?
"I personally spell it gray. A lot of people I know spell it grey and it kind of bothers me just a smidgen. But it's whatever, you do you bro, I won't judge you for the way you spell a color."

If you have a nickname, what is it?
"I don't really have any nicknames. I'm occasionally called Gav or Gavi, but usually I just go by Gavin. I'll come to nearly anything so just call me whatever as long as it isn't rude. If it's rude you can kiss your bum good bye."

Who's your favorite person in the world?
"Obviously, my favorite person ever is Rex. But I also really love my Gummy. It's a tight competition but I think they really tie. Rex knows I love Gummy, and Gummy knows I love Rex so that's that."

Do you eat breakfast every morning?
"Yeah, I usually eat a bowl of cereal or oatmeal, and if I'm feeling really fancy I'll make pancakes or eggs. Just whatever I feel like really, but almost every morning I have orange juice with whatever it is I'm eating."

What's the last compliment you got?
"I was told my wings and feathers complimented each other nicely and it felt really great! Dunno if they knew how nice it felt to have someone random say that."

Do you usually remember your dreams in the morning?
"Only on rare occasions. If I do remember them, I try to write them down and remember as much as possible, but 9 times out of 10 I forget before I even have a chance to think about it. Sometimes I know I had really good dreams and it frustrates me that I can't remember them."

What flavor of tea do you enjoy?
"A lot of people think this is weird, but I really do prefer tea over coffee or hot cocoa or anything. I mean yeah I enjoy a little coffee or hot chocolate every now and then, but I usually go for a nice hot cup of tea. I really like Chamomile when I'm getting ready to hit the sack, but I also like peppermint and lemon. And if I'm going lemon I mix in a little bit of honey to sweeten it up."

Relationship with May:
Gavin loves his mother very much. She has always been his life support and the one he could always go to when he needed something. He looks up to her in many ways, as a parent, a role model, a best friend, and a companion through thick and thin. When he was young and felt trapped and lonely, May was always there for him with a plate of strawberries and a bowl of sugar to share. He never went a day without getting a smile and a wink from her, to encourage him through whatever trial he was facing. Now that he is grown, their relationship has not gotten farther apart, is anything it has grown tremendously. They call each other often, telling about their day and making each other laugh. Gavin has never had a better friend than his mom, and no one could ever replace her in his life.

Does he have a pet? If so, about them, if not, why.
Gavin has one pet, a leopard gecko named Gummy. Gummy is very small, and is mostly solid yellow. He has very small black dots that line the sides of his stomach in two rows. They grow slightly in size as they get closer to his head, and they come together on the very top of his head to form one big pot. His eyelids are pale blue, and the color sweeps down onto his nose. How underside is very pale yellow, that is nearly white, and the bottoms of his tiny feet are the blue color around his eyes. His tail, which is fat and slightly shorter than a normal gecko, is blue from the tip almost halfway up, and is completely covered in black spots. Down his back, starting from the black spot on his head, is a long black line that fades away just before it gets to the blue in his tail. Gummy goes everywhere with Gavin, and rides on top of his head, so to see everything that is going on.

How he got his wings.
When Gavin was a kid, he asked May, his mother, how she got her wings. May explained that when she was around his age, she felt constricted and tied down. So she made herself a pair of wings, so she could always feel like she could fly away when she felt trapped and abandoned. And from that moment on, Gavin knew he was meant to have a pair of wings, just like his mom. He began work on designing them, which went from childish scribbles with crayons and markers, to real sketches, and finally a blue print. One day, he and May pieced together a tiny prototype, and gradually made it bigger and better until it fit him perfectly. Throughout his teenage years, he tweaked the wings, adding a little color here, a little design there, until he finally felt they were ready. They first day he put them on, he knew that these were going to forever be a symbol to him, just like May's were to her. These were his key to flying away, to being free from everything. This was his new hope.

How he's decorated his house and room
The walls are all either a medium to light gray or white, with dark wood floors throughout the whole two bedroom house. In the kitchen, all the pots and pans match each other, in a medium red color. He has white plates and bowls, crystal glass cups for dinners, and a range of different colored plastic cups for casual uses. He has an assortment of mugs for teas and coffees, and other hot drinks, and a large range of utensils. His flat-wear is silver, with teaspoons and tablespoons, forks and knives, slotted spoons and salad forks. In the living room, he has a large white TV cabinet, an L shaped very light gray-brown couch, a footstool, and a matching love seat. All over the walls there are beautiful watercolor paintings he did himself, with a large variety of scenes. From seasons to animals, to silly pictures of Gummy, they make the room look colorful and comfortable. In the first bedroom, which is really an office, He has a white wood desk, with his desktop computer atop it, and a whole wall of shelving filled with every type of book you can imagine. In the second bedroom, where he sleeps, there is a queen size bed made up nicely with a blue quilt, yellow and white decorative pillows, and an eggshell colored throw at the foot. His closet is nicely organized and clean. On one wall there is a rather large aquarium, where Gummy lives. Its filled with plants and such for him to climb on, with two bowls in one corner, a bright blue for food, and a red for water. Gavin tends to keep everything clean and organized and keeps food in the pantry at all times. And throughout his house, on tables, dressers and countertops, are candles. Candles everywhere.

His favorite treat and why.
Strawberries! No snack in the world could top fresh strawberries and sugar. Every since he was a kid, he has eaten and loved strawberries. Him and May had a little garden dedicated specifically to growing the reddest, sweetest, most beautiful and wonderful tasting strawberries. Once they were done growing, they would make a day of it, picking the ripe berries, putting them in a basket to be taken home, washed, dried, and popped in the fridge while they drew pictures. After the berries were chilled, May would pop a straw through the bottom and out the top to take off the tops, put them on a plate, and serve them with a bowl of sugar on the side. This was always the type of day Gavin looked forward to as a child, and though he is grown up and living alone now, he still goes to visit May often, and sometimes they will re-create those days to be just like he was a kid again.

His least favorite personality trait about himself
Gavin is fairly chill about his personality, he doesn't feel like there is too much wrong with it. But one thing that he can't stand, is the way that he looks down on people who act a little too childish for his liking. It isn't that he is trying to be mean, it just happens. He tends to act really high up and mighty when immature people are around, and even if he tries not to he does it without thinking. Though he tries like crazy to fix it and not be so rude to people like that, it doesn't seem to work out. A lot of times when he does this, it causes people to think he is haughty and stuck up, when he really isn't. He just doesn't like immature, childish people, and the way his brain reacts just happens to be looking down on them.

Method Two, Writing Status;; Complete.

Relationship to May;;
Gavin's relationship with May is a very tight bond, after all, she is his mother. Gavin keeps in touch with May, trying to talk to her everyday in anyway possible whether it be through text, phone calls, letters, anything that he can do in order to get in touch with her. Gavin tends to always have his friends backs if he can, but no matter where he is and the time, Gavin will come running from miles away in order to help May with anything. He cares about her dearly and would do anything for her considering she's his family and he cares about her dearly.

Does he have a pet, if so, tell me about them, if not, why?;;
Gavin does actually have some pets, two to be exact. The first one he has is a snow owl named Pavel (PAH-vel). This snow white owl is a relatively large snow owl with completely white feathers and bronze/gold eyes. This is a pet that Gavin got to help him with photography, such as getting shots from above. The snow owl will fly high in the sky with tiny little cameras strapped to it's wings, snapping a picture of everything it comes across, frame by frame as it moves smoothly through the air. This is a little wacky to get good images from, but it helps him get a good view of the area from above.

The second pet Gavin has is a small beagle called Brownie. Gavin decided to get this pet because he wanted to see if the phrase describing a dog, "A man's best friend," was true, and he soon realized that it was indeed true, and he was just thinking far too much into the quote. Although Gavin was considering getting rid of Brownie, he realized that this lovely little dog was just like a little human girl looking for a home, and he decided to keep it.
[202/400]

How he got his wings;;
While in the underground city, Gavin felt as if he was lacking freedom, and he came across a little house where a blacksmith lived and made magnificent creations. Gavin began visiting this black smith everyday and one day, the blacksmith asked a question about how Gavin felt about the war going on above the city, and Gavin explained that he hated it. He wanted to be like a bird so he could fly through the sky and be free. After this, the black smith asked if Gavin wanted wings. After a few days, the wing project was completed and Gavin finally felt as free as a bird as he jumped off of tail surfaces and glided through the air happily.
[120/400]

How he's decorated his house and room;;
Gavin has painted the walls of room yellow, and then painted green jagged marks over them with little blue stars in them. He wanted to use some of the colors of his pelts and make the walls unique, and so he did. He has got a black leather couch against the wall right by the window so the sunlight of the day can let him read his book so he isn't wasting power, as he is pretty serious about that. He has put his bed in the middle of the room, and he has a custom blanket with drawings that he has drawn throughout his entire life time, and he continues to sew more and more pieces onto it, even small little doodles to remind him of things he has got to get done. He has two pillows on his bed, one with a smile face on it, and one with a frown face on it. He will sleep on whichever one describes most of his emotion for that entire day, and if he is feeling neutral for the entire day, he will put the pillows on top of each other and sleep with them like that. He also has a big shelf, that starts from his floor and just barely brushes against the ceiling. It has all the books he has read in his entire life time, even if they are childish picture books. He likes to have things that remind him of other things in his entire life time.

And then, he finally has a poster that describes every basic form of each color, such as the colors used in the rainbow. He also has a light that makes anything white in the room glow so there is something unique in there. He also collects lava lamps and puts them on the floor, lining them up against the wall to give the room a very bright glow, as he has a fear of the dark. This is because he absolutely hated his time in the underground city and never wants to be reminded of how dark it was in there all the time, as he feels like darkness is a sign of danger approaching and having to take cover. He is very sensitive to the topic and anything that reminds him of it makes him cry. Finally, for finishing touches, he has a statue of a little bird that he believes watches over him and his mate as they sleep.
[412/400]

His favorite treat and why;;
Gavin's favourite treat is the zebra cake, but not only because of its taste. He believes the pattern is what makes this treat so appealing to him. He loves to get a ton of the zebra cakes and build them into a little castle and then play Jenga with some of his friends, and each time the castle falls, the player that knocks it down has to take one Zebra Cake and save it for the end of the game and eat it. The zebra cakes are a tasty treat and very good for making up games with, so that's why they are Gavin's favourite.
[105/400]

His least favorite personality trait about himself;;
One thing personality trait Gavin hates about himself is how shy is. He really wants to show others that he can be happy and jumpy like them and not just not so quiet, but he can't bring himself to do it. He wants everyone to be happy so he is tends to keep quiet and not speak at all which makes him seem very awkward in a lot of situations. He is self conscious and that makes him destroy himself, that's another trait about him that he absolutely despises. He just hates being closed in with himself and being alone.

Method Three, Interview Status;; Requirements Complete, will be adding more though.

Where did you grow up?;;
"Well, you see, that could be a number of places depending on the age I was at the current time, as my family did move around quite frequently. Although I suppose I could describe the place I grew up the most at. In my town, there was a war going on so secretly, the government built an underground city for injured soldiers, or citizens that couldn't fight in the war for them to stay at. I lived there most of my life, starting from when I was 3 and until I turned about 13."

What's your favourite color and why?;;
"My favourite color would have to be yellow, or perhaps gold, the color of my wings." He speaks, making a quick little gesture with his paw towards his wings. "That sort of color. I like the color because well, it brings back memories of when I lived in the underground city, a blacksmith there made these for me after I said I wanted wings like a bird, because they're beautiful, so the color instantly reminds me of that amazing blacksmith."

Who is your idol?;;
"My idol? That's a hard one, all of my friends have been really influencing to me. Although, it would have to be the youtube star Matthias. He has taught me that no matter who you are and where you are, you can change the world. He made me happy."

What's your favourite season?;;
"My favourite season is fall or autumn, whichever your heart desires. I love to walk outside and feel a cold, yet relieving breeze hit my fur, and all the colors are like a magnificent painting, and are very pleasing to the eyes. It's simply beautiful."

What is your greatest fear?
"My greatest fear would have to be losing the one I love most. I hate disappointing others, and losing someone would absolutely break my heart."

If you could choose one superhero power, what would it be and why?
"If I had the choice, I would pick flight. Soaring with the birds has always been a dream of mine, and if I had the power of flight, well.. I could accomplish it."

What is your favourite flower?
"My favourite flower is the magnolia, it just smells amazing and it is a very simple, yet beautiful flower."

What's your dream job?
"My dream job is to one day be a professional photographer. I would like to take a photo of all of the beautiful things in nature for others to use and enjoy."

If you could find one song that describes you, what would it be?
"There are many magnificent songs that I can use to answer this, although I believe myself to be one person that will come running for you even in times that may be difficult, so I would have to say Count On Me by Bruno Mars."

Are you interested in having children?
"Well, yes, I am actually.. I would love to look over a child, children are so sweet and the thought of actually being able to say you raised a child and made them the way they are today is just fascinating and amazing to me."

What do you do to pass the time?
I usually go out in nature and take a few photographs to hang up on my wall, or I try to hang out with my lovely mate, because he deserves a lot of my attention after everything he's done for me."

Do you have any weird speaking "quirks"?
"Well, not too many. I tend to be decent at pronouncing things, although if I can't pronounce a word right, I tend to quietly blow a raspberry and repeat it over and over again until I can get the word right."

Are you into politics?
"Politics tend to be fairly annoying to me, although I do pay attention to them since they do impact our everyday lives."

Do you work better in groups or alone?
"I work well either way, but I prefer to collaborate ideas with other people around me."

Do you spell the word "favorite" as favourite or favorite?
"I personally spell it as favourite, although I consider both forms of it correct, it just depends on the persons preference."

Are you interested in going to conventions, such as comic con, insomnia, and so on?
"Of course! I love seeing all the unique ways people design their costumes and the panels are really nice too."
