Shawn Clayton

Shawn Clayton is a character in the CCRP Mythos, first appearing in the side-story Welcome To The Wired, as well as appearing in its following entry, Raven Wars.

Shawn is probably gonna appear beyond those entries primarily because of Tupper Space Shortages.

### Pre-WTTW

Shawn was born an unknown period of time prior to the events of WTTW, since his age was given as 29-30, it can be assumed it was the same amount of time prior, although because of all the wobbly-bobbly stuff in both Fractured World and Chisaje, exact ages of adult characters shown in Chisaje are unclear.

Shawn’s mother died in childbirth, leaving him alone with his father, who blamed him for his mothers death, abusing him, Shawn began to work in Blue-Collar Construction to try to provide his father with money, as well as to try and make amends with him, however, this didn’t work out, around age 16, Shawn was kicked out of his fathers home.

Now homeless, Shawn would sleep around homeless shelters in the area, being kicked out of all of them as a result of them being at full capacity, this drove him to the Undercity, where he registered into a Highschool there, and continued his academic studies there.

It is there that he met longtime associate Brandon Neille, as well as his ex-wife (who, whilst is currently unnamed, I’ll go ahead and give them the name Nicole.), the latter of which he would begin a relationship with, whilst the former he would sell drugs to, as well as hang out with from time to time.

In his second year of Highschool, Shawn had somehow gotten Nicole pregnant, thus, the two dropped out of school to care for their daughter, Eloise, hastily getting married after she was born.

Shawn would find yet another blue-collar Construction Job, and Nicole would work as a Cook at a local MacDonalds, whilst he tried his best to provide for his family, his job wasn’t paying enough, not helping the fact was that Nicole had been using what little money they had on Alcohol and Drugs.

When Shawn attempted to confront her regarding this, Nicole brutally attacked him, beating him nearly to a pulp, and only stopping after she noticed that Eloise had begun to cry.

After this, many more incidents like this would occur, eventually, Shawn had enough, and once Eloise was twelve, he would file for divorce from Nicole, attempting to get custody of Eloise, as well as prove that their home was in his name, however, he had insufficient evidence, thus the courts ruled in Nicole’s favor.

Upon winning the case, Nicole placed a Restraining Order against Shawn, barring him from ever seeing Eloise again until she was 18, and once again kicking him out to the streets.

Having nowhere else to go, Shawn got back into contact with Brandon, and moved down to Scinaria, beginning to live with him.

In an attempt to make ends meet, Shawn would begin to sell drugs, either being mainstream ones (Weed, Crack, etc etc.) Or his very own concoctions, to which he found success in such, getting enough money to pay off Brandon’s rent.

As a result of the War, Shawn’s sales were halted briefly, and he began to worry about his daughter, however because of the restraining order, the ongoing war, as well as his many growing debts to his customers, he could not leave Scinaria.

At some point after this, but before the events described below, Brandon moved out of the apartment to live with two friends of his, Shawn did not know them at the time.

At some point prior to the events of WTTW, Shawn began to deal outside of the Cyberia Club in Scinaria, this would be stopped after he entered an altercation with a Bouncer at the club, leading to him to stop dealing around there. [THIS IS SOURCED FROM A THROWAWAY LINE, THUS IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE CANON.]

A week prior to the events of WTTW, Shawn lended Anfey “A” some LSD, to which they owed Shawn 18 Dollars for, Shawn would continue to pester A for the money.

At some point prior to the start of WTTW, Brandon would buy Ecstasy, Marijauna, Heroin, and Draino, Shawn did not know exactly what Brandon would use them for, but suspected it was for a date-rape drug, unbeknownst to him, this would be the last time he saw Brandon, prior to the latters arrest for assaulting and raping 4 or 5 people in the Cyberia Club’s bathrooms. [BRANDON’S ACTIONS MAY OR MAY NOT BE CANONICAL.]

Wanting to get a proper explanation from Brandon, Shawn decided to go to the apartment he presumed he lived at, not knowing the latter had been arrested.
