Name Avery Rush
Gender Male
Age 26
Species Human
Occupation Cirque du Noire, Contortionist
Appearance He’s 6’1’’ with brown hair an blue eyes. He’s fit and can often be found simply contorting himself into weird shapes just for the hell of it. More often than not, he’s lounging around in sweatpants and tanktops so nothing hinders his super awesome twisty-ness. Like most contortionists, when he’s actually performing he wears a skin tight jump suit done in black and light blue.
Picture Magical Picture I Randomly Found Personality He’s just sorta a normal guy. Avery likes drinking beer and watching football, though he likes the tight pants more than he actually like the rules of the game. He does have commitment issues, mostly because he had found his ex-boyfriend cheating on him with his best girl friend. So he tends to have one night stands where ever he goes. The only ‘stable’ relationship he has is his current on-again off-again boyfriend, Jason, who he either ends up cheating on while they’re ‘dating’ or Jason ends up cheating on Avery. So yeah, he sees guys as either friends or one nighters and he’s pretty indifferent to girls. Because of his commitment issues, he never really settles down for very long in place, the longest so far being two years. But, you know, after he's done being iffy around people he's pretty nice. He sometimes likes pushing buttons but would never really mean to hurt someone. Avery is also extremely amused by the disturbed expressions other people tend to make whenever he does his tricks, and he often does weird things during awkward moments just to see their disgusted/awed expressions.
Abilities YAY CONTORTIONISTS!
biggrin Um, yeah. So Avery can do a variety of things. Firstly, he’s both a front and backbender, though he his slightly better at frontbending since his spine is a little more flexible that way. Also, he’s able to cram himself into a knee-high box and often does so happily just to freak people out. He’s also working on his overspilts mostly because it people just stare at him funny whenever he’s just sort of hanging in between to chairs by his feet.
Weaknesses Though he’d kill you before mentioning it, he’s terrified of spiders. Especially the ones that are so big and furry, they look like they have paws. Also, any time any type of long term commitment somehow makes its way into the conversation, he disappears before the sentence can even finish. And he’s terrified of heights higher than eleven feet because of a strange accident with a small cliff, a cow, and a Klondike bar. He also can’t look cows in the eye and his krytopnite is, in fact, Klondike bars.
Backstory Avery was born on a bright and happy day. His childhood, until he turned seven, was pretty much the same. He grew up on a cattle ranch with his mother and father, who were actually content with one another. Surprising, huh? So life was great for little Avery. And then The Incident happened.
To most people, the incident would seem silly, strange, and that it should be nominated for the Darwin awards. To Avery, it would haunt him for the rest of his life. You see, Avery’s mother wasn’t the smartest of women and had decided that trying to ride a cow to the nearest cliff so she could eat her favorite treat, a Klondike bar, while watching the sunset. To tell the truth, it all went surprisingly well, considering Ole Bessie tended to be a mean old cow. Until a happily skipping Avery, yelling for his mom to hurry up so they could eat dinner startled the cow.
The cow wiggled and the Klondike bar went flying over the low cliff. Avery’s mom went screaming and dived off the cow and over the cliff to get her delicious treat. Sadly enough, she hit her head and ended up in a comatose state for the rest of her life, leaving poor Avery scarred for life.
Poor Avery, whose life was scarred by such a terrible thing. His father was affected even worse, falling into an alcoholic depression that would often turn violent. He’d go searching for Avery and, after the first few times getting beat up on, Avery had discovered his adept talent of twisting and contorting himself into strange positions in order to hide in unusual places.
And so, the new Avery was born. His father ended up selling the ranch and moved them into the city. He was an awkward and still wary of practically everything, but he was happy to be away from all those cows. So he continued to live a normal, everyday life while practicing his various contorting abilities.
When he turned fifteen, he suddenly realized he liked boys. Which probably explained why he hadn’t tried to get into any of the pants of any girls he had dated. Cue Big Gay Freakout. After a month of calling himself a freak, he realized that being able to shove himself into a box was weirder, and creepier, than deciding he liked screwing around with boys a whole hell of a lot more than girls.
Two years later, he got his first boyfriend. It was a nice, average relationship. Dates, laughter, having fun at the other’s expense, you know, the usual. It only lasted a month before Nick had found greener, and more willing, pastures in Avery’s best friend.
Cue rage, two black eyes, a bloody nose, and a beer bottle smashed over Nick’s head. Avery ran away three days later in the middle of night. From there he bounced from circus, having flings with the employees before disappearing once again. The average amount of time he stayed at a circus was two months, though he did find an all female circus once and had ended up traveling with for about two years.
While with the female circus, they made a stop in a small town. There he met Jason, a con artist psychic who had promised to tell his fortune for the price of pleasure. And yes, those were his exact words. Turns out Jason was just as iffy as Avery in relationships. So they made a deal to be boyfriends whenever Avery was in town, though they always ‘broke up’ when they inevitably found one of them with another.
So eventually Avery left the female circus, kept bouncing around, and eventually found himself at Cirque du Noire.
Facts He loves blueberry pie and cranberry muffins.
He has a dartboard up in his room with a photo of a cow.
Every night before he goes to bed, the checks for spiders within a thirty foot radius of his bed.
Sample Moooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
