Avner Baldrick

Avner Baldrick (played by ShaybaySasuke) is the son of Dionysus. He has been at camp for about 3 years.

Biography
Avner was not born into a good home. His mother was an awful person, before and after his birth. She drank and partied constantly before he was born (which most likely attracted his father) and even continued during and after. Avner was lucky to be born without debilitating birth defects from all the drugs and drinking his mother did while he was still in the womb. She was never there for Avner, forcing him to work early on in his life to pay for her lifestyle. He grew up hating his mother and whoever the hell his father was and left his home when he turned 15, tired of living with her. Many thought he would shy away from the things that haunted his mother but it was the exact opposite. Avner coped with drugs and alcohol on his own, paying with the money he had saved up over the years and on occasion even his body. He hated himself and the only thing that saved him was a satyr coming to bring him to camp. He received help and love that he never had before and he swore he would never go back to his old life ever again. He's gotten clean since being at camp but can still have some pretty bad days where he feels the effects of withdrawal. He hasn't been at camp for long but he has progressed fairly quickly since he wants to prove that he's someone who keeps his word and is worth having been saved from himself.

Personality
Avner is still a partier despite getting clean, he just has safer methods of having fun now. He is friendly and loud and brightens up any room he goes in. He loves people and now that he has felt love he likes to return it to everyone else. He sometimes has really bad days when the withdrawal from the drugs and alcohol is too much to bear, so on occasion he will lock himself away in the cabin until the shaking and moodiness go away again. He's also hella flirty.

Physical Appearance
Avner stands at 5 foot 9 inches. He is Caucasian and has slightly long, jet black hair. He's clean shaven and really doesn't have much body hair. He wears dark clothes and jewelry, mainly a few bracelets, a necklace, and a few piercings in his ears.
