How Don mainly is, he is a persistent, adventurous, compassionate, and optimistic guy. He will often go to the next level and earn people's trust and respect and to better understand others when he sees something is troubling them. Don has a strong sense of justice and is a good-natured character. If his friends or anyone is in trouble, he will make the effort to help them, even if he has no prior connection to them. At times Don can be relatively naïve and slow to understand principles or situations.

With Don understanding more of life, he tries his best to even know who he is as a person and what his purpose is. He's willing to explore throughout the Pretzel Kingdom trying to uncover his past and restore the history of the forgotten Haven Family.

## Past

### Early Childhood

On September 5th, 1999, Don Haven was born and raised by his loving father, Dave Haven, and his mother, Donna Haven. Don had a pretty good childhood and was well taken care of throughout his earlier years. At the age of 5 he would run and jump around through Masara Village, sometimes cause an nuisance to the people living there but it's what makes him lovable. He would try and find ways to get people's attention and acknowledge him as someone they could respect to but they would laugh since he's just a kid who just screams and yells. However, he would only do that because his parents were away all the time doing important business trips so they're not there for him as they used to in his earlier life. He usually gets supervised irresponsibly by his babysitter, Alyson Gibber throughout his childhood but Don does his best to have fun and enjoy the less responsibilities that he doesn't often worry about.

### Tragedy of Masara 05

After a long absence from Don's parents being away from home, they made their return holding the mysterious glowing stone. (WIP)

### Pre-Elementary School Era

2 years later after the tragedy, Don returned to his home Masara Village feeling mellow, silent, and empty due to the trauma that he experienced. His village is slowly recovering with little remaining of the survivors that made it through. He is confused and lost about the outcome, but was told that his parents died in a car accident. (WIP)

At one point Don was saved a mysterious man named Poncho who used a Machete to take down a wild bear that was about to harm him. Don was scolded by Poncho that he could've gotten killed and wondered if he knew any common sense that his parents could've taught him but later he realizes that he's a survivor from the Tragedy of Masara 05. Don pleaded to be taken care of because he has nowhere to go and sleep anymore. Poncho felt bad but is willing to watch over him for a bit. Throughout the times they had together, Pancho partially raised Don and even trained him to make him do self defense if he was ever going to be ambushed again. (WIP)

On November 15th 2009, Don sets off an adventure trying to live a normal life and understand the society of the Pretzel Kingdom. He wants to know what being in school is like, having friends around his age, and know that there's good in the world even when there's bad things happening to him. He had to leave behind his guardian Alyson to avoid having her life at risk by the hands of Ethan.

## Rivals

### 5th-9th Grade

**Duane:**
He is a next door neighbor childhood friend of Don that both lived in Masara Village. They were good friends and went to each other’s houses and played videos games together. Shortly before beginning their journeys, Don and Duane met a new kid named Iker at the playground and befriended him. Later down the line, the two boys began fighting over who was the cooler friend. Iker was undeceived and since then, they decided to separate themselves and compete who was the cooler guy.

As the main story starting its debut, Duane came off as an arrogant person. Duane loved when he got a chance to make fun of Don by bragging about how far behind Don was compared to him. He also gave Don the pet-name of "Donny Boy,” which occasionally seems to annoy him. His style of training at this point was to befriend a lot of people and team up with the strongest as well, as a stark contrast to Don, who focused on developing a bond with his friends.

### 11th Grade (Junior Year)

**Ryan:**
He is a classmate of Don in his U.S. History class that likes to be the class clown. They started their rivalry over a girl in their class named Lauren. The thing is…Ryan already knows her and likes to purposely make Don jealous by rubbing it in that they’re good friends and is touchy to each other. Ryan is a polite guy at times, but likes to cheeky with his sarcastic personality, and even is good getting in touch with many girls with his sick dance moves. He even had a group of cheerleaders who cheered him on in all his battles and would go so far as crying whenever he lost. He even likes to flex his own sporty convertible with a chauffeur. He possesses a hyperactive personality that often goes well past impatience. To this end, whenever something or someone gets in his way, annoys him, or causes him any minor inconvenience, Ryan will lose his temper and shout for the cause to get an F on your next exam. This attitude is so recurring and extreme that his friends and even Megan often shows exasperation at Ryan’s wild behavior.

### New World Era

**Cross (Patrick):**

Cross is a young man who believes that strength is everything and aims to become the ultimate battler. He abandoned his best friend Alyssa when she was caught helping Don with his soul detective training. To him, he finds her too weak for helping a normal human and hates Don’s pride of saying that people get stronger by working together type of mentality. He believes people who fail are both trash and worse than trash respectively. He was only like this because back at his early days of Soul Training, Alyssa almost got abducted by human sized hamster like creatures. And at that point on, he would sometimes be distant from Alyssa because he blamed himself for why she was unable to fight at her full strength and just play as a damsel and distress at first. So, he would bring himself down for being the weak one.

### World Adventure Era

**Shooster:**

Shooster a young man who runs an environmental/sustainability focused student led organization called The Green Society. He spends his time improving on its practices about the natural habitat because he aims to be an environmental science major. However, his team in The Green Society has interesting abilities that can be used for battling. He believes his team with those abilities has the talents and capabilities to be the strongest and be #1 in the Pretzel Cup Championships. Shooster’s only concern is his friend’s strength performance in battle. He strongly dislikes the weak and has a tendency of cutting ties with them if they do not meet his expectations. Shooster can be very callous and even brutal, especially in battle. As a result, he has been shown to display very little emotion other than an occasional rough smile when dealing with Don. Also, he is against people in his group being friends with people he despises as he would consider betrayal to “The Green Society Code of Conduct” which is some bs rules that he wrote on his own. Also, he is keeping his personal life in secret, never talks about his family, and not only many people outside of his group know his real name.

## Trivia

* Don is based off of myself mainly. But with slight tweaks. I didn't want to make it self insert but it somewhat is, who knows.
* Having D's in the family is intentional. However it was unintentionally inspired by the D.'s from the important character's middle names in One Piece.
* Duane is based off of someone I know back in elementary school. There was a random stupid rivalry the character based off of Duane and I.
* Ryan is loosely based off of somebody I know but we never had beef to each other. It's more so of me being jealous at him and didn't like him much until I got to know him personally. He's a cool guy I know lol.
* Cross is someone I used to know and he was legit like this. His mindset and how he treated me last time we talked was horrible. Glad I'll never see him again. Yikes!
