## **SUMMARY**

**"The Elder" Gavyn** is a recurring protagonist, as well as minor antagonist in r/TD. He was also a character in r/OnTheSide, a spinoff series of r/TD. A character since the TD: Revival arc, Gavyn has been a supporting cast member since December 2017. Has been known as: **CreeperGav; Gavyn; The Elder; Trent/Rock; CEO of Beardo, APersonOnTheWeb** among other nicknames.

## **PERSONALITY**

Gavyn displays an oftentimes jovial mood, but has shown that he can be either caring, gloomy or reminiscent of times gone past. He never passes up an opportunity to discuss what life was like back in the 'olden days,' as he calls them (2017-2018.) He often joins in the middle of conversations, and leaves in the middle of conversations, making his appearances often surprising or uncalled for.

## **TD: REVIVAL ARC**

Beginning sometime in 2017, the RP season Total Drama: Revival began. After the season had begun, Gavyn first entered the server, on December 20th, 2017. After his arrival, he became a cast member for the season under the guise of the characters Rock, Max and Justin -- portraying members of the show's Peanut Gallery as well as Main Character Rock. By March 2018, however, the show had effectively died, with no new episodes airing leaving a gaping hole in Gavyn's heart and memory.

## **ON THE SIDE ARC**

For a while, Gavyn remained highly active in the server - even in the aftermath of TD Revival's hiatus/cancellation. Joining others such as Lapira for seasons of RP Total Drama on the r/OnTheSide server. This time, he portrayed original characters of his own creation, Bri and Kristian. They were eliminated during the merge of the season, due to inactivity on Gavyn's part. After this season ended, the server went largely inactive and Gavyn eventually left sometime in 2019.

## **FILLER ARC**

During the periods of Spring 2018 to Summer 2019, Gavyn remained active in the r/TD server, albeit with no important role. He participated in an RP season ran by FutureTrunks, under his name, Gavyn. He was eliminated early into the season. After and during this time, his screen time was limited and he was effectively pushed out of the picture, becoming a sort of side character.

## **TRIGGERS/BLACKLIST ARC**

Gavyn took on the role of a minor antagonist in 2019, when he called out r/TD's 'trigger blacklist' in another server, pointing out that many things seemed stupid or insufferable. This was revealed in the #cabins chat of r/TD, by a user known as **InsertDotJpeg**, an at-the-time good friend and also arch-nemesis of Gavyn's (who at the time was known as CreeperGav.) Following this, Gavyn was promptly defeated in battle against the Mods, notably Maeve. He soon realized the error of his ways, and after a few weeks of spontaneous activity, delved into a hiatus from the server.

## **ANOTHER FILLER ARC**

From a short time after the Blacklist Incident, up until August 2020, Gavyn remained inactive from the server, lurking in the shadows of the 'offline' realm. Still occasionally peeking into the server to see what was going on, never for long periods of time.

## **THE RETURN ARC**

Gavyn returned to the server in August 2020, both happy and horrified at what he had returned to. The server, despite still being intact and having a few of the same leaders as before, was nothing like what he had left. Many of his old friends, acquaintances and rivals had since left or been booted from the server, and he felt like a lost child in a foreign world. Spending a lot of his early time back reminiscing on the days gone past, Gavyn eventually declared himself one of, if not the only, 'Elder' and found a new role for himself in both his heart and mind, as well as the server.

## **THE ELDER ARC (Ongoing)**

Since declaring himself the Elder, or the King of The Elders, Gavyn has newfound confidence and a jovial attitude, partaking in random nonsense around the server. His appearances are still sporadic, but he has remained a constant figure of admiration (or maybe it is pity? Who knows.) Most recently, he appeared on December 19th, 2020, to remind everyone of his upcoming join date, December 20th, 2020, marking three years within the server. He has declared both Ace and Lemon to be potential heirs to his throne. As of writing, he has been a member of the community for three years, longer than a large portion of the active population. He officially declared this fact at 4:20PM in the afternoon on Sunday, December 20th, 2020.

In late December 2020, Gavyn confronted shannon and declared himself 'Elderwood', declaring himself an ally of the Wood Empire. He went back into a dormant state following this declaration, and upon reawakening on January 13th, 2021 at 3:30 AM, found that shannon, known as Wood and ruler of the Wood Empire, had dropped her 'wood' alias. Saddened, Gavyn pushed Wood until she reverted back to her former self, claiming there cannot be an Elderwood without the original Wood. The consequences of these actions are yet to be seen.

## **Trivia**

* Gavyn thinks highly of Lapira, Ace, Zappy, shannon, Lemontime, Bongo and Mauve.

* Gavyn officially joined the server on December 20th, 2017, but had been a member of the r/TD community since the summer of 2017.

* Gavyn claims to be the bringer of ruin, chaos and anarchy to the world, but has displayed no evidence to prove these claims.

* Gavyn applied to be a member of the highly distinguished mods, most recently during his return, but also did so in 2018. Every time he has either been rejected or left unanswered.

* Gavyn regards his time in the On The Side spinoff server as one of his favorite periods of time since joining the r/TD server.

* Gavyn tends to check in on the server, since his return, at least once a week or once every two weeks. This sporadic activity is what he believes to be the reason behind his mod rejections, regardless of whether or not he should have such power.

* Within the realm of The Nation of Elder's, Gavyn wields the power to reduce members to atoms. However, he has never gone out of his way to use this power, believing that warmongering would be the cause of his own downfall.

* He is the current King Of The Elder's. The previous King is unbeknownst to the r/TD community, but urban legends in his territory claim Bongo may have been the previous Elder. Ever since Bongo's disappearance, though, there has been nothing to confirm this. Gavyn vehemently denies these legends, claiming the previous Elder was someone much like himself -- unknown, lost and tormented in mind and soul.

* His birthday is April 28.

* His favorite characters are Trent, Dawn, Harold, Izzy, Leonard and Beardo.
* He enjoys writing and creating original content for Total Drama, Attack On Titan and other media franchises.
