Sir Owen Sanct

Biography: Owen is the only son of two innkeepers in a central-eastern Dolovin village called Great Scar, where he was born. For most of his life Owen helped his parents at their inn, the Trapper’s Hunt, where he did all manner of chores from washing dishes to delivering mail to changing bedsheets and taking care of horses. When he was not helping at the inn, he was either taking sword lessons from his uncle Tommy with his favourite cousin Ron, or getting into trouble around town either on his own or with other local boys. Always filled with grand ideas about what his life was going to be like when he grew up, Owen left Great Scar when he heard there was a princess needing rescuing from a dragon, sure that with his basic sword training and no armour or weapons he could save and marry her. Prior to leaving, Owen trained his cousin Otis to do all his chores at the inn so his parents would not be left to do it all themselves. Then he set out on his quest to find his destiny (and have sex).

Notes:


 * Owen sends money to his parents regularly.
 * He is quite wealthy independent of Gavin’s money because of looted dragon gold that Gavin invested for him. He does not entirely realize how much money he has.
 * He wields an as-yet-unnamed sword of dragon bone, and a large, two-handed broadsword called Little Sword, occasionally at the same time. Little Sword was given to him as a gift after saving a dog named Dragon. Owen uses it to prove he can.
 * Owen is afraid of thunder.
 * Like all his family, Owen has been fluent in Dolovin sign language since his cousin Phoebe was discovered to be deaf when Owen was nine.
 * He hopes to run into his cousin Ron on his travels someday.
 * Owen does not quite realize that his libido is unnaturally high
 * He is a very straightforward thinker who prefers to solve problems in as little steps as possible, usually with one step that is just him hitting something. This often works for him.
 * Owen is easily upset by injustice and has always done everything in his power to stop it, starting with the time he was five and tackled a pickpocket who stole from a patron at the inn, but then gave the pickpocket his lunch because he was hungry.

Quotes:


 * “Is chivalry such a new concept for you?”
 * “Shamed and alive is better than honourable and dead.”
 * “I have a bit of a dragon thing.”
 * “Duty and honour in the same sentence? Sounds serious. Unfortunately, I’m under orders to beat all of you.”
 * “I’ll try to remember that. Little sword goes in dragon, big sword goes in Gavin.”
 * “Piracy? I…think it’s bad and we should try not to have it?”
 * “I have a sword made of a dragon.”
 * “You know, I think if I hadn’t killed your dad we could have been friends.”
 * “Listen. Angels and demons. You guys are going to fight. And I get that. It’s like me and dragons. It’s a natural enminitity. Enemity. Enmity, that’s it.”
 * “Trust me. I’ve never died before, right?”
 * “God is a bit much, but you can just call me sir.”
 * “Orgasms are good for your health.”
 * “I vow to never, ever stop loving you, not even if the world ends around us.”

Trivia:


 * Owen has grown over ten centimeters since the start of the series.
 * He has lost clothing consistently ever since he was a child. It used to be a problem, but now Gavin just quietly replaces whatever he’s misplaced without comment.
 * He once ate half a leather boot because another kid dared him to.
 * When he was eight Owen got kicked by a horse, which fortunately only grazed him but cracked three of his ribs.
 * When he was twelve he got his dick stuck in a tree.
 * Owen has recurring dreams of being a cow.
 * He has a serious peanut allergy.
 * His current orgasm record is eighteen in one day.
 * Up until Ron left, he used to let Ron win things frequently.
 * When in the capital he always carries coins with him to give to beggars.
 * No matter how comfortable the bed or nice the bedroom, Owen’s favourite place to sleep is outside.
 * He is a very competent cook because of his experience in the inn, but tends to make enough food for thirty people.

Modern AU: Modern Owen helps out at his parents’ bed and breakfast, which he assumes he will be inheriting someday. He played football for a few years, but ended up joining the soccer team recently after meeting Gavin, and now plays forward. The fact that Gavin likes all the wrong sports teams and that Owen’s family all hate Gavin’s father are two major points of contention in their relationship (the former moreso than the latter). When not working or at school, he is often seen in gyms, at sporting events, at fancy rich people events in a suit he didn’t pay for or, on two different and unrelated occasions, in a public park wearing nothing but someone else’s underwear.
