## Backstory

Since Donavan's birth he has been plagued with an awful fear of silence and although this fear was persistent it was luckily not intense enough to deeply affect his early years. However as time went on, his fear of silence only grew, causing him to undergo some adverse developments such as the hatred of silence alongside his fear and a romanticization of sound as it was what drove away the quiet. The older he got the more intense these developments became. He began to crave noise like it was a drug, seeking the high of sound before the low of silence took hold. Donavan did his best to hide these developments from those close to him as he believed that they would want him to face his fears to overcome them but he was sure that this fear could not be beaten and that trying to would only make it worse and drive him to new lows. So he covered up his infatuation with sound as a love for music. However as the need for sound increased, the effects from a lack of sound intensified and one day he was brought to a new low and attacked someone in a manic state. Realizing the gravity of situation Donavan was able to snap out of his manic state and fled the scene before the cops could arrive. Donavan was against the idea of being placed under arrest for assault and deemed himself a threat to those around him. So he fled to the one place he knew the authorities would not follow, the grey zone. Donavan arrived in the grey zone and thought he would only stay until the heat died down however after staying in the grey zone for a few days Donavan began to consider his options and figured that if he were to lose himself again while he was in the grey zone the worst he could do is hurt a gangster and he would rather stay in the grey zone and put himself in danger than place the innocent people back home in danger due to his inability to control his fear. so he decided to stay and adopted a new name, Larghetto.

## Personality

Despite his love for noise Larghetto is a rather soft spoken individual who is not especially aggressive when he is not in his manic state. He is more than happy to hold a conversation with someone as talking is a method of staving off the silence. He finds the company of loud individuals soothing while more quiet folk unnerve him. Larghetto is more than willing to help others with their problems as long as the request isn't inherently evil and he stands to gain something from it. Despite his willingness to talk he isn't exactly a social butterfly who attempts to befriend everyone he meets, he instead happens onto Individuals he feels he can connect with he starts to open up as he begins to trust them. Beyond that he mostly keeps to himself while trying to stave off his fear.

## Gang Background

Unsurprisingly Larghetto would often enter manic states during his time in the grey zone and although this would usually end with him getting the shit kicked out of him and left on the side of the street there was one time he actually won a fight in his manic state, unfortunately he accidentally killed the person he was fighting with. The person in question was the leader of a very small gang, who upon realizing that their boss was defeated, decided that the "obvious" play was to make the "angry sound ghoul" their new leader due to the supposed "brilliant display of strength and strategy needed to take down the boss". Larghetto being neither brilliant nor inhumanly strong did his best to refuse the position as he was not very interested in becoming a gang leader, however the persistent goons elected to become Larghetto's gang regardless of his attempts to distance himself from them and they began to take after their unwilling boss becoming a sound based crew and giving themselves the name Sweet Symphony. Larghetto occasionally partakes in gang activities if he especially tight on money but besides that he keeps his gang at arms length.

## Abilities

-Although it could hardly be called an ability Larghetto enters a manic state if he has been without an adequate amount of sound for too long. In this state Larghetto could hardly be considered conscious as he mindlessly hunts for sound to sate him. While manic Larghetto does not talk (but he will sometimes make strange noises that honestly a human should not be able to make) and his movements become twitchy and sharp and he is extremely aggressive to anyone he comes across, attacking them in an attempt to create noise from a brawl. However despite Larghetto's spike in aggression he does not actually gain any noticeable improvements to strength while in this state.

-Pain Tolerance - While Larghetto is in a manic state he is able to ignore a good deal of pain he suffers however this does not make him any more durable than he normally is.
