Sawyer Penith

Sawyer, taking a power stance during therapy

**Sawyer Penith**is a character played by Charborgon TwitchRP. He attends regular therapy sessions with his doctor, Levi, to help with his issues relating to his stepfather. His favorite hobbies include doing nothing, eating, and jumping into unoccupied trunks for a free ride.

## History

Sawyer has a history of being a loser. His parents divorced when he was still a child, and his mother eventually remarried years later, at 55. At the time, Sawyer was 29, and his stepfather was persistent that he needed to move out and get a job as soon as possible. Their disputes grew from arguments to hiding the TV remote, before his stepfather had enough and eventually forced Sawyer into regular therapy with Dr. Levi. During this time, he talks about his frustration with his stepfather, and especially with having to do something with his life. He has only ever had one friend, who he no longer knows. From there, Dr. Levi decides to introduce him to a new friend.

## Personality

For most of his life, Sawyer had spoken with a lisp, caused by his mother slamming a car door on his tongue. Because of this, he pronounces his name as 'Thawyer,' inciting riots in the chatroom later on during his pilot stream.

Generally, Sawyer is a lazy, slow, and asthmatic character. He's lived much of his life without doing anything, until his stepfather forces him into therapy. Despite this, he seems to take an interest in travel, and explores the city by cramming himself into unused trunks. While this has gotten him into trouble with colonel Tony Rico and other officers of the SASP, he has also managed to discover groups of interesting people, including an impromptu live band featuring a 'real' wizard.

## Timeline

### **The Tank**

Soon after meeting for a session of therapy, during which Sawyer explains his past, Dr. Levi offers to introduce him to a new friend. Sawyer agrees, and they set out on a long drive to the north, where they eventually meet Josiah Bloom doing yoga next to a van. There, they get to know each other some before Sawyer's given a hiking bag, and the group hikes through the Chiliad Mountain State Wilderness before approaching the mouth of a tunnel. They sprint through this, though Sawyer struggles, and emerge on the other side to break into spontaneous poetry. It's at this point that Josiah mentions a deprivation tank. Both he and Levi suggest it for Sawyer, claiming that it'd make him a new man.

After some convincing, Sawyer eventually agrees to try the tank, and the pair drive him to a mysterious garage by the bay. After some time of setup, he's crammed into a trunk, which fills with water, and he falls unconscious.

What happens next is impossible to explain. It could be either the healing of mind, body, and soul, or it could be Sawyer extremely drugged out from hallucinogens. Either way, he 'wakes up.' When he's conscious again, he's in the middle of the street, being revived by EMS. The first thing he notices is that his lisp is gone, and he no longer wants to sit around, wasting precious life. He instead chooses to spread the goodness of the world, to make others as happy as he can.
