## Prequel series

Dave has a prequel series being written by Bellflower titled “Astropierced”, which details his life before the events of Voyage 2, also crossing over with other stories. It is being written independently.

## Voyage 2 Introduction

Dave has debuted in Chapter 5: Notion, as the C plot. In the first lore event of the C plot, Daniel chases Dave down, only to fail and give up temporarily. He then appears at the Wisteria Festival.

Dave would later join Scorp’s nation and the Outcasts shortly before the end of said nation. He is affiliated with, and potentially friends with, Locke. Dave is a dark disciple like Locke. Dave would aid with many of the events leading up to the decayer event. He would then aid Locke atop the mountain…

## Chapters

### Chapter 5.5

Dave's bunker is raided in a remote region of Havre, where it is discovered he is still alive, but only by SMD Agents. This leaves him being alive still unknown to most of (if not all of) the inhabitants of the continent.

### Chapter 6

Dave sets up a new base hidden in the seas in the time between chapters 5.5 and 6, but begins to notice that a new group has also set up shop in Emerlin. He spends this chapter going after them, the Hammerhead Mafia, while also realizing and attempting to track down who they were brought here by.

### Chapter 7

Dave, using information he got from tearing down the first HHM warehouse, sinks a hijacked ship carrying a nuclear bomb, only to have it be snagged and taken back by the USE. After this defeat he continues to search for Pulsar and Watcher, only to be confronted by Gina of the Dark Disciples. It is here we get our first hint that something is different with Dave than anyone thought. After kicking away Gina, causing the explosion of Pulsar and Watcher's old apartment, he goes back to the drawing board, setting his sights on the other warehouses. He surprises both the hammerheads and Scorp & co. at the Seasplinter warehouse. He then heads to Colton to find the other bomb, only to find Raf has now taken it himself by boat. Dave struggles with Raf to get it, before Raf makes a fatal mistake by becoming distracted. Dave does serious damage to Raf before being fought back by mysterious angels, eventually being blasted far away by Alexis and her two helping angels. But with news of Scorp vanishing and the boldness of the dark disciples now, Dave finally greenlights a catastrophic new plan.

## Trivia

* A lot of Dave’s side lore and his origin story were actually created directly by Bellflower and created for her nation server, Havre. This was the first ever recorded instance of a member creating their own side story that wasn’t made by a member of the writing team.
* Dave’s name was originally going to be Garrett, but Bellflower, recognizing there’s an actual Garrett on the server, chose the name Dave instead.
	+ Upon their name needing to be changed, Bell’s first name that came to mind was from none other than Dave & Bambi. Bellflower chose the name because the fandom was already on her mind.
* Despite his appearance as a dark disciple, like most of Bell’s plans, things changed. Dave was originally going to be a normal multiversal traveler until Chapter 5 needed substance for the decayer arc.
* Dave has no middle name, though it could be possible that he simply omitted it on his own terms.
* Dave doesn’t have a labeled sexuality. His response to such questions is “If they’re hot, they’re hot.”
