## Role-player Information

### Played By

Dirty Fisherman

**Davey Trout** is a character role-played by Dirty Fisherman.

## Character traits

Davey Trout is a chaotic-good aligned character. He has a flexible moral compass and makes use of unconventional methods to achieve his goals. Davey enjoys helping people, and often sees the good in others, even if at his own detriment. He is gullible and often easy to manipulate.

Davey often bends the truth when telling stories and makes a number of exaggerated claims, however he will rarely use this to hurt others. He sees himself as a man of the world despite only leaving his hometown once before the age of 50, and as such often offers bizarre advice that he believes to be wise.

Davey's hobbies include drinking, pub sports, home-brewing wine, and animal rights activism (specifically dogs).

## Backstory

Davey Trout originally came to the city by accident. Believing he was on his way to watch Euro 2020, Davey arrived in the city confused after his mates stitched him up and sent him on the wrong flight.

## Early days

After spending a few days drunk, confused, and searching for the nearest patio furniture to chuck around, Davey began to settle into the city and landed a job as a bouncer at Tequi-La-La (under the management of Reggie and Maggie Steele at the time).

During this period, Davey flirted a little with the criminal underworld (not literally Davey doesn't know how to flirt), and began processing and selling narcotics with the approval of the Grove Street Tongs. He also stabbed Ace Hammer during an altercation outside Tequila-La-La, using the excuse "he fell on his tools".

### The Yellow Jack & child support payments

Davey eventually left the narcotics trade behind to live a simpler life. He became employed by John-Alec McNeil at the Yellow Jack Inn as a bouncer clad in double-denim.

This simple life was briefly spoiled by the appearance of Davey's son, Rodney Trout. Rodney had tracked down his absent-father in order to claim a substantial amount of money in unpaid child-support payments. Rodney never managed to reclaim this money.

### The Church of Tam McGill

During the Great Mount Chiliad Footrace of 2021, Davey Trout twisted his ankle and took a tumble. As Davey laid injured on the floor, an angelic figure with mop-like hair scooped him up into his arms in an attempt to rescue him from certain death. This angelic entity became known as Tam McGill, a member of the Grove Street Tongs.

Unfortunately, the attempt was short-lived and Tam slipped whilst carrying Davey and fell down into a crevice on the face of Mount Chiliad. Due to being carried at the time, the impact of the fall forced Tam McGill's fist deep into the rectal cavity of Davey Trout.

Whilst awaiting to be rescued by the emergency services, Davey claims to have heard the voice of God, who announced that Davey had won a substantial amount of money from a competition on the government website.

Suffering from shock, Davey believed this to be a spiritual moment, and that claimed that Tam McGill had reached so far inside him that he had touched his soul and blessed him.

Davey began to preach the word of Tam McGill to others, recalling the story of how Tam had touched deep inside him and he had been rewarded by God herself. This religious period didn't last long for Davey however due to the great fire of 2021 which burnt the city to the ground.

## New beginnings

After the city had burnt to the ground, Davey found himself in a new city and began to start a new life. This was a short-lived experience, however during this time Davey became a mechanic at Six Star Auto Tuning, a business owned by some overly-horny seedy bikers.

Davey spent most of his time to himself during his stay in this city, however through his place of employment made some criminal connections in relation to crafting illegal items and began crafting and selling illegal firearms.

### Mr. Mittens RIP

During a quiet period whilst searching for bin-treasure, Davey approached a small grey cat and attempted to stroke it. Unfortunately Davey slipped and ended up stamping on the cat (twice), spreading it's insides on the cold concrete floor.

Davey was distraught and immediately handed himself in to the nearest police officers in an attempt to show penance for taking Mr. Mittens' life. After some negotiation and terrible puns, Davey was placed under arrested and charged for the crime. Davey was sentenced to community service, during which he planted a tree in Legion Square dedicated to Mr. Mittens.

### Davey goes West

After growing bored of the fast pace of city life, Davey decided to take a retreat to Saints Crossing, a popular destination offering wild-west experience package holidays. Davey spent a number of weeks in Saints Crossing, fell in love with an old lady with an eye-patch, and lost a friend, a bumbling Scottish entertainer.

## The return

After learning of the death of Arthur Trout in Quiet City, Davey returned to city life. After learning of the circumstances of Arthur's death, Davey was initially upset and angry and demanded to talk to the Chief of Police. Believing he was talking to Jimmy Tenpenny, Davey punched the newly instated Chief of Police Adam Hawkins in the face. Hawkins was understandable about the situation and helped Davey to grieve by showing him to the police morgue to say goodbye to his father.

### The funeral

Davey began to plan funeral arrangements, however as Arthur was well known in the city, a number of Arthur's friends had already made them. Davey attended the funeral to pay his respect and say his final goodbyes before Arthur's body was vapourised into a cloud of ham.

### Becoming unburdened

In the wake of his father's death, Davey felt angry, lost and directionless. During a chance-encounter with Solaire, the founder of the Celestial Seekers Network, Davey began to meditate and work on his issues. Davey began to let go of the anger he felt at his father's death (which was more related to his package holiday being ruined), and worked through the past-guilt he felt for the death of Mr. Mittens.

Davey still uses the teachings of Solaire during stressful situations, even after learning of Solaire's acts of violence and manipulation.

### A career change

During Davey's directionless period, a chance encounter with Damian Starr revealed a new path to Davey. After congratulating Damian on becoming a judge, Davey began to ask what it was a judge actually did and responded with "I could do that" and began a career in the legal system.

Owl Zlensky, the city's top lawyer at the time, took Davey under his wing and began to show him the ropes. Davey quickly realised he had found a calling in life, and after witnessing the closed-trial of Suzie Crumplebottom, learnt that he could do a lot to help others.

Davey initially found it rough-going to get the experience needed, however hapless criminal Ralph Huggins offered to perform a number of "perfect" crimes which could offer Davey the experience needed to apply for the Quiet City bar license.

After becoming passing the bar examination, Davey quickly started his own legal firm, Off The Hook LLC, and established a modest office in a shipping container. Among Davey's first clients were his friend and former-Celestial Seekers Network member, Jebby, Rubb Balmer, Colton Cross, and Levi Lewis.

### Growing the business

Alongside working as a criminal-defense lawyer, Davey also offered relationship advice services, offering his "expert" help to a number of private clients. He has "successfully helped" the relationships of Chuck LeChuck, Leah LaRoux, Malcolm Takeheart, Orion S'belt, Logan Wilde, Adrenaline, and someone potentially called Sarah (Charlotte Hunniford) who he can barely remember.

Davey offered "valuable" advice from a book handed down from his great-grandfather Archie Trout, giving tips ranging from showing confidence by throwing disgusting items at love-interests, to practicing kissing on fish (Davey however has never kissed a fish), and subconsciously dressing clients in his own image.

Since forming Off The Hook LLC, Davey has offered training to a number of lawyers including Brian Potter, Lionel Johnson, Henry Von-Humphrey, Rihanna Richardashian, and Ralph Huggins.

### Animal rights activism

During Davey's first public interview for Logan Wilde's publication The Quiet Times, Davey unveiled his passion for animal rights activism.

> Davey Trout has also found the importance of helping animals and protecting the rights of dogs specifically. Davey Trout has grown tired of the shame that dogs are forced to feel as their humans project their shame upon them. Davey has sworn to give dogs’ a voice and to let them sniff other dogs’ butts without humiliation. And to let them eat other dogs’ feces without shame. Davey states that he wants to “help dogs, [because] they have a right to watch their owners do disgusting things.” Davey Trout says to let the dogs stay in the room, and that dogs deserve the right to vote

### Ego death

Davey began working for the Richardashian family after an old contact had passed the family Davey's details. On the first meeting with the family in a legal capacity, Davey became immediately overwhelmed and had a breakdown. He ran from the interview room at Mission Row Police Department to Legion Square and phoned his old friend John-Alec McNeil.

Davey explained to John-Alec that the hyper-sexual and confrontational family had treated Davey as a "piece of meat", and John-Alec arranged a "lads night out" to help console Davey. At the time Davey had claimed that he was "just a stupid-lawyer" as his self-confidence had been reduced to that of Sharon's (Charlotte Hunniford).

John-Alec arrived at Legion Square, loaded up on alcohol and cannabis, and took Davey up north to his trailer. Davey almost instantly suffered a cannabis-related anxiety attack and in a fit of paranoia attempted to run from John-Alec several times. This was exacerbated further by John-Alec's invitation to Rihanna Richardashian to join them at the trailer. Whilst Davey was mid-panic attack and consumed by paranoia, Rihanna suggested giving him cocaine to reduce the effects of the cannabis.

The combination of cannabis and cocaine in Davey's system proved to be a delicate balancing-act and caused further erratic behaviour in Davey. This culminated in Davey running from "the government" to a commune, and eventually running towards to northern-shores of Procopio Beach with Rihanna for a late-night swim. Rihanna unfortunately lost sight of Davey and he disappeared into the ocean.

### The angel

After awaking on the southern-shores of the city with a stinking hangover, Davey suffered temporary memory-loss and in a state of confusion and paranoia continued to flee from those trying to help him remember who he was. An "angel" was mentioned several times during Davey's delirium.

This state of memory-loss lasted until Davey finally found his hair of the dog and sank a Fosters top in record-breaking speed, however Davey still remembered the "angel" and pieced together enough events of the evening to come to the realisation that this angel was Rihanna.

Davey became unhealthily infatuated by Rihanna and showered her in gifts, gifting upwards of $30,000 in order to try and buy her affections. After discovering Rihanna wasn't interested in Davey romantically, Davey shamefully ditched Rihanna in a remote location.

Davey eventually apologised for his behaviour and an unlikely friendship began to blossom.

### Partners-in-law

After resolving their issues, Davey began training Rihanna as a lawyer. Rihanna showed herself to have potential to be a far-more competent lawyer than Davey, so offered her a place within the company before her training was complete.

After passing the bar exam, Rihanna joined Off The Hook LLC as a partner, and the pair bought a new larger office to practice law from.
