Description
Human ref for Reave! Kinda happy with how this turned out though now that I look at it that left shoulder should probably be a little closer to the body. Hmm. But yeah! Inconsistent drawing style is inconsistent. Still, pretty pleased with how it turned out.Here, have a minutely tweaked bio.

Personality: On the outside Reave appears very apathetic and irritable. He rarely expresses personal feelings towards people and is quick to follow with a gruff comment on the odd occasion that he does open up. He doesn’t like to talk about himself, he is slow to trust others and dislikes being the centre of attention. Because of his inability to express his feelings he has few friends, and those he does have were gained reluctantly (on his part) and through constant bothering and prolonged exposure (on theirs!).
Despite seeming quite cold and distant he is actually very caring, always putting others before himself and trying to help out in any way he can. He won’t stand for others being ill-treated in his presence and has gained several scars from finishing fights.
He’s fairly lenient with people picking on him – he won’t often start fights on his own behalf and lets most comments just roll off him – unless someone is making fun of him owning a flower shop.
History: Reave grew up in a small apartment in the lowest levels of Junction City, raised by a loving mother and an abusive father who blamed his son for his own problems.
As a child Reave’s only escape from his fathers violence was school and going to visit his mother at the reserve where she worked. It was at the reserve that Reave first saw flowers and became interested in them.
Reave lived with his family until the age of 14. He moved out after having a fight with his father who became violent and broke Reaves’arm. Despite begging her, Reaves mother refused to come with him, stating that his father ‘needed her’.
Angry at his mother for staying in such an abusive environment and at his father for causing it, Reave quickly fell in with a bad crowd and ended up in a correctional facility. When he eventually got out he got a job as a bouncer and tried to sort his life out, even falling in love with a young girl who also worked at the bar – though this later ended in heartbreak.
By the time Reave was 22 he had joined the army and was thinking about joining ASP – which he gave up so that he could move back into his childhood home to look after his ailing mother. His father had left his mother 2 years previously and taken most of her money with him. Reave began working at his mothers flower shop, supplying to the wealthy inhabitants of Junction City and eventually took over running it when she died some months later.
He took the death of his mother badly, feeling like he had abandoned her when he left. Instead of continuing with his own career he decided to remain at the flower shop, as it was his mothers dream and currently lives in a small flat a few levels down from his shop/warehouse.
Other Stuff:
Reave drinks quite a lot, but is always careful to not go past his limit, fearing he might end up like his father.
He is ambidextrous.
He has a super sweet tooth!
Theme song: Film Noir – The Gaslight Anthem
He's a casual smoker.
He likes plaid shirts.
Plays the piano and is trying to learn guitar.
To be added to as and when!

MTT's (c) annicron

I kind of want to draw him hanging out with Benjamin! I think they would make great buddies, since Benjamin is definitely the type that would love to chill and chat over a cool beer with Reave. I could see him going to buy flowers a lot too, just to chat. Because Benjamin is the most sociable dork I know, always looking for someone to have a convo with. heh~ Let me know what you think!

Reckon him and Ashley could be friends? ^^
Ashley's a bit rough around the edges and socially awkward from being below ground a lot, but he's a sucker for bright sweet smelling flowers, once he's bought from the shop no doubt he won't be able to stop coming back, if not for the flowers then for the hunk that sells them

Hey! I was just wondering, my yol character, Griffith Jones, loves flowers and gardening, he kinda wants to know if he could work/volunteer to work at Reave's flower shop?

Ooooh yeah! That'd be cool! I think realistically he'd have to be a volunteer because I can't see Reave going out of his way to actually employ someone to work for him - but he probably wouldn't turn down free labour XD That being said he could start as a volunteer and then end up working part time to mind the shop when Reave goes out to make deliveries?

Maybe we could try over DA notes first? That way I can find out if I like it/am any good, and I don't have to inflict another program onto my laptop, which is causing me stupid amounts of trouble at the moment!

Reave is now friends with Dymo and Blacklight :I lol there is no discussion because they will be perfect friends, and it would be easy for them to meet cause BL needs flowers for her café

Yesssssss! I like it! He'd deliver the flowers and at first he'd be really awkward and leave right away and then slowly start talking to them and then end up staying for coffee for hours and forgetting he has an actual job to get back to like a dweeb. And just hang out there watching everyone do their own thing oh no what have you done I'm going to have to draw him there now!

Ooooh yeah! Reave could do with a few more acquaintances/friends! How'd you think they'd meet?

Maybe an acquaintances at first then it blooms into friends? And she can come to his shop to buy flowers to put on her Mom and sisters graves?

ArkanFire In reply to kittyline13 [2014-06-20 20:24:45 +0000 UTC]
Ah that's a good idea! I can just imagine him serving her a few times and then eventually being like "What do you need all these flowers for anyway?" because he's dumb and tactless - And then she'd explain and he'd just "Oh..." And then maybe mention doing the same thing for his mum to try and be less awkward. Then they'd have a little chat each time she came in!
