Donovan Satta, The Wronged

## Appearance

His signature color is black. Black pants, black shirt, black jean jacket, black Doc Martens. The more he travels, the harder it gets to maintain an all-black aesthetic, so he's begrudgingly branched out to more neutral tones. Donovan keeps his hair short along the sides, and is willing to shave his head when he gets sick of maintaining some kind of look. He's heavily scarred from all the monster fights he's been in. The most significant scar spans from his left shoulder to his right hip from where a Wendigo nearly eviscerated him. His only visible scar is two pairs of bite marks from two separate vampire encounters where he was very nearly killed. Both times.

He is very keen on not letting anyone see his scars, as they raise too many questions that he can't bear to answer, and will go to great lengths to maintain that privacy.

His demeanor is that of someone who takes no shit. More than likely you will see his arms crossed and a semi-permanent RBF (Resting Bastard Face).

## Backstory

When he was 11 years old, his parents Kenneth and Julia Satta were killed in a car crash, leaving their two sons in the care of their godparents in Pennsylvania.

Donovan was 16 years old when Mattias took him away for a weekend cabin trip with two of his friends in Benezette Township, Pennsylvania. The trip ended prematurely when the group was attacked on the first night by a wendigo, which killed the two friends and dragged Mattias away. They attacked as soon as night fell, luring the first two away by mimicking the sound of a woman crying for help. When Mattias realized what happened he locked them both inside the cabin and was in the middle of barricading the doors and windows when the wendigo crashed through the sliding glass door and took Matt down. As it was dragging him away, Donovan swung a chair at it, breaking it over its back. It didn’t like that too much, and lashed out at him with its claws before throwing him across the room, leaping on top of him and digging its claws into his shoulders while it screeched in his face, almost as if to say stay down. Mattias begged for him not to move as the wendigo dragged out of the window and into the woods.

Donovan laid in a pool of his own blood for so long, too petrified to move yet knowing that if he didn’t he would bleed out. Eventually, he crawled his way to a discarded cellphone on the floor, and managed to call for help before passing out from shock and blood loss.

Next he awoke in a hospital room with a detective at his side. Foolishly, he asked about his god parents, and the response was they were trying, but hadn’t been able to make contact yet. Next he asked about his brother and friends, and the detective only shook her head. He tried to tell everyone who interviewed him that it was a monster, but it was eventually ruled as a freak bear attack, and Donovan was sent home to his godparents, who hardly suffered any scrutiny from the police at their delayed response.

He has deep claw marks on his shoulders and across his chest from his left shoulder to his right hip that’s marred his entire torso. It’s the reason why he’s so bashful about taking his shirt off— the scars lead to questions that would make him relive the answers.

## Relationships

### Cast One

***Frank*** : Frank tried to take Donovan under his wing regarding hunts. Thinks Donovan is cool. Donovan is bemused by this Grandpa trying to be hip with the kids, though he hardly considers himself to be a kid. He appreciates Frank driving most of the time, but he loathes his van.

***Lucy*** : Donovan helped Lucy escape from a roaming pack of werewolves unscathed. Lucy feels indebted to him, though Donovan is uncomfortable with that. He was a little worried that she wasn't able to take care of herself, and though he didn't want to baby her, he was constantly trying to watch her back as they traveled together.

Donovan is impressed with Lucy and her ability to do magic. Her bravery isn't lost on him, especially since she's normally so shy and quiet. He's told her a little bit about his brother, which is an immense amount of trust given that he doesn't like talking freely about his past. Donovan respects Lucy for her fighting prowess, and admires her for her heroics with saving Maury. Her note to him made him cry a little, and he appreciates how caring she is. He’s annoyed that she tried to strong arm him into staying back when they were about to confront the Thing, especially since she thwacked him with a spoon on his injured foot. Her overbearing nature has made him slightly more sour towards her, but he doesn’t hate her.

***Ky*** : His first impression of them was an "ok zoomer" attitude when they protested against their dad not allowing them on the hunt. But they've proven themself to be a valuable resource, not just around town, but during fights, too. After getting a little tipsy, he ended up talking to them about why they wanted to be a hunter, and even tried to talk them out of it. They knows a little bit about his past, which were partly due to his drinking, and partly due to him trying to convince them that staying home with family was better than risking their life fighting monsters.

They further impressed him when they went out hunting together, just the two of them. Ky proved they could handle themself in a fight, which would make his inevitable talk with Bill about letting them join the hunt much easier. When Ky joined the party, he saw them as a younger sibling. But especially because they're younger, he's going to be watching them back like a hawk.

As they left Last Hope, Ky really ended up being the beloved younger sibling he never had. Donovan cared about them immensely, and confronted them about wanting to turn into a vampire. He really thought there was no way to get through to them, but he managed and watched over them like a hawk. If anything happened to them, he would be devastated. He loves shooting the shit with them and asking about their magic.

***Sterling*** : When he first met Sterling, he was wary at best. The more he interacted with the cryptid, the more he realizes that he's an amicable monster that should be feared, but allowing him access to that fear won't do himself much good. Because of his experience with friendlier monsters, he's willing to help Sterling out when he can with food. He can't help that he needs to eat people, but at least Donovan, and the party, can steer him in the right direction-- namely towards Bad People, such as rapists, pedophiles, and other enemies. A pretentious and frustrating man. Donovan sees no point in talking to him one on one anymore, since he has nothing nice to really say— or just nothing to say at all. The new Hero nickname he picked up feels like a jab, but he’s ignoring it and not giving Sterling that power. He doesn’t hate Sterling, and in all honesty a driving lesson and drunk story session might be enough to mend their relationship, but for now he’s keeping his distance. Therapy with Sterling only worked so well because the other was listening. He feels *really bad* about throwing a knife at him, and will do everything he can to fix that, but he firmly believes Sterling will end up holding that against him in moments of anger.

***Gwen*** : She helped him out on a hunt once, by helping him research and providing him insight into the monster that ultimately helped greatly. Since them, he's been comparing notes with her, and trying to pay her back by helping her find information on something that happened 20 years ago. Gwen is the only party member he truly feels safe around. He loves researching with her and bouncing ideas off of her. He is growing more comfortable with looking at her like a maternal figure as well as a dear friend. He doesn’t know what to do about the offer of college, and is leaning towards no. Hopefully, Gwen just won’t bring it up again. She’s unintentionally helping him bet better with hugs.
