Padrick Campbell

Padrick is a resident of Lower Duck Pond.
==Early life==
Padrick is the only child born to Oliver and Betty Campbell on March 28th 1983. He was named after his Great-Grandfather Jonathan "Paddy" Campbell. He had a large mixed breed dog named Oxford that passed when Padrick was 9.
==Adult life==
After graduating high school in 2000, Padrick left LDP to join Green Meadows University. He met his future wife Tara while finishing up his Bachelors degree in 2006, and marriage in 2010. He lost his job when the company moved overseas in 2016 and was unsuccessful in finding a new one in his field, which led to Tara filing for divorce and being kicked out of the house. With no where else to go, he moved back to LDP. His parents were not able to help as they had sold everything to live out their retirement on various cruise ships (and having passed on after an E. coli outbreak in 2014), which only left grabbing a spot under the highway. 
March 2021 - As Glitter stock prices began to soar under town leadership, Padrick found that the 100 "joke" shares of GME (Glitter Market Enterprise) stock his parents had given him for his 30th birthday were now valued at $3,500. He quickly sold off his shares in order to buy a luxurious new garden shed and moved from an old carboard box under the highway to the back of the towns old abandoned firehouse. The rest of the windfall was spent on alcohol or "donated" to then Mayor Krystal, leaving him $15 remaining.
April 2021 - just after police had told him to move the shed as he was "squatting on city land", a Tornado blew through town causing damage to homes and buildings overnight. It also managed to blow Padrick's home down to Main Street from several blocks away. This caused an early morning traffic jam due to blocking of the roadway. Several drivers got out and pushed it into some open parking spots where the shed sat throughout the day as Padrick attempted to find a way to get it moved, but unfortunately it was impounded by the local police department later that day. Previously he had negotiated with a local land owner experiencing issues with children trespassing and attempting to break in to the home thinking the owner was a witch, that allowed the shed to be set up on their plot in order to keep watch over the home. The shed home was finally moved there after it was released from impound later in the week.
June 2021 - With a flood warning coming, Padrick added wheels and material to make the shed float in order to protect his home. This saved his home and personal items as well as helped others trapped by the rising waters.
August 2021 - The shed was moved out to Rural LDP and set up in a tree house community alongside his neighbor Ayla. Several townsfolk got together and made repairs/upgrades to his home. It now sported a repaired roof, better support structure and insulation along with a rope and pulley system to raise and lower the shed in and out of the tree. TimTim also returned this month as he had been roaming the countryside on a pygmy goat. He was wearing a small cowboy hat someone had gifted him and sporting an official Lower Duck Pond Police badge.
September 2021 - Padrick had to deal with a break in to his shed, which ended up being connected to a court summons decide the custody of a child named Toffee Higgins (Born November 14th 2016). Toffee was proven to be his daughter and custody was handed over from his ex wife and her husband. They have both been adjusting to the new situation with the help and support of their friends. With some gold coins he had found, he was able to purchase a used truck and go into scrapping metal full time as the court directed him to find employment. He is able to take care of his daughter during the day while also earning money to care for her. Since he lives the "free-range" lifestyle, they are able to live comfortably on very little income.
==Friends==
Ayla Christy: Padrick's neighbor and friend. She floated the idea of a treehouse community after her Yurt was flooded and Padrick was one of the first to offer support and join her. She has recently been staying in the shed with Padrick and Toffee in order to help and be closer to both. Even though Toffee refers to her as "Anty Ayla", She is Toffee's godmother. Her "relationship" with Padrick has no label at this time.
Dracula Jones (DJ): Padrick's therapist and friend. The treehouse community is actually situated in a forest on DJ's land, so they are able to see each other often due to the driveway out of the forest going past his house. He is also the godfather to Toffee (Higgins) Campbell and was a character witness for Padrick during custody hearings.
TimTim: He become caretaker to a capuchin monkey he named TimTim sometime in 2016, though each telling of how they "met" varies wildly. Examples include taking a nap on a stone forest bench (fertility altar) and being awoken by a baby monkey, or waking up next to a naked female circus clown while wearing (presumably) her clown pants and finding baby TimTim in one of the pockets. Much like Padrick, TimTim is free-range and can come and go as he pleases. This has led to issues with picking up bad habits, which Padrick is currently working with TimTim to quit smoking.
==Personality==
Prefers the term “free-range” over homeless or vagrant, as those terms are depressing. Refers to thrown out food as "Second-hand groceries". He is a caring friend and father who tends to put others needs before his own.
==Appearance==
Longer than average reddish-brown hair and unshaven beard.
==Hobbies==
Is big into watching online videos that deal with melting metals and casting.
==Trivia==
Has slept an entire night in Casanova Manor after a dinner party, which for some reason surprises people due to the stories surrounding it.
Had fluorescent hair for a month after volunteering to let a cosmologist student color it. Instead of dye, they used markers.
