#Brampton Beast

[danse--macabre]

thinking about how ch'lakhou was supposed to go up to the stars and conquer and then be taken by the beast that is the dark urge and slaughter their kin and ride back to faerun bloody and victorious on a dragon

and instead they got chucked out of the crèche so we have an urchin raised by a priest in the grimiest area of baldur's gate, who has religious issues and whose main life achievements include 'ran a number of pickpocketing, swindling, and scamming schemes that culminated in being in charge of a small gang as a teenager' and 'ran off and became a very penitent monk for five years'.

and it puts all that nonsense about royalty, birthright, thrones etc. that Sceleritas is always going on about into perspective. This is not some grand lost princeling up in the stars; this is a rotten little thief from Brampton, Lower City, who has been destitute and starving more than once in their life. And they move from that 'dizzying height' to rule over just a rotten little hole of blood and entrails in the sewers. The fucking king of rats.

I don't even know if they can see how small it all looks from the outside.

Hawerchuk also became very dependable in overtime situations, scoring three overtime-winning goals. "We are thrilled to be able to have Ben back with us for this season," said Icemen Head Coach Nick Luukko. "Ben brings a lot of intangibles to our lineup and possesses a nice mix of offensive ability, grit and the ability to score the big goal in key moments. In addition, he is another addition to our core group from last season." During the 2020-21 season, Hawerchuk played in Sweden last season with Ostersunds IK, where he collected 23 points (12g, 11a) in 33 games.   In 2019-2020,  Hawerchuk began his professional career with the Brampton Beast, logging three points (2g, 1a) in 14 games. Before his time in Brampton, the 5-11 185-pound forward began that season with the University of New Brunswick (USports), where he recorded eight points (1g, 7a) in 13 contests. "I am really excited be coming back to Jacksonville, I enjoyed my time here last season," said Hawerchuk. "The coaching staff and management are top notch and they put me in a position to succeed, so it was an easy decision to return this season." The King City, Ontario resident totaled 136 points (67g, 69a) in his four seasons with the Barrie Colts of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL).   Hawerchuk is the son of the late Dale Hawerchuk, who amassed 1,409 points in 16 NHL seasons from 1981-1997.

a character reference sheet for Tav, my chaotic neutral Baldur’s Gate 3 protag. I don’t even have a fancy first or last name for him... just the default “Tav” has felt fitting since I fell into the hellhole of Early Access. he’s a rogue with the thief subclass, but I usually choose magic initiate: druid as a feat so he can have a wee bit more magic and, most importantly, beast speech, so he can talk with Scratch the dog, and Nudge the owlbear cub (and get the hot goss from other critters). I also play Tav in an Eberron 5e campaign, in which his subclass is arcane trickster.

7/30/22 edit: I’ve given him the last name Fenway because just “Tav” was getting chaotic (which suits him but I like to be organized)

some #backstory under the cut!

(cw: domestic violence)

Tav was born and raised in Baldur’s Gate. he is his human mother Flissa’s second child, by a high elf man she either cannot or will not name. her human husband Garrick was not happy about this, but he wasn’t particularly happy when he thought the expected baby was his anyway, so this was never going to be a great family dynamic. Flissa and Garrick’s marriage has always been turbulent and mutually abusive. Tav’s older half-sister, Yora, is ten years his senior, and when she was fourteen, she left home without saying goodbye.

Garrick was a sailor, Flissa was a professional swindler. Tav had special roles in Flissa’s various street grifts, and thought of it as a game, until he was old enough to understand how destitute they actually were. he became good at pickpocketing on his own, which Flissa also took advantage of. it was very easy to pretend being a hungry little urchin, because he was. it was easy for them both to pretend they were battered, because they were. Tav’s parents were not responsible spenders; thank goodness he could go to public school for free when Flissa didn’t want to keep track of him on the street.

when Tav was twelve, there was a massive fire in the tenement building his family lived in, in Brampton of the Lower City. it happened in the middle of the night, when most were sleeping. the fire was mostly contained to the one building, but nonetheless devastating. Flissa got herself out quickly. Garrick was much slower to react to the rapidly escalating situation, and Tav was, well, a very frightened kid who was more or less abandoned. it’s hard for Tav to remember exactly, but the way he understands the course of that night is: he was navigating through smoke and flame down a corridor, when his step-father bowled him over to rush out. Tav was able to get onto his feet again, despite injuries and actively burning. he was resuming his own escape when Garrick got himself trapped under falling beams and debris. Garrick called out to him, but Tav kept running. the rest is a blur; he has vague memories of waking up in the Harborside Hospital, covered in burns, being treated by various healers, neighbors in the cots around him. an unusually charitable cleric at this hospital made it possible for Tav to leave without a hefty bill, healthy but for the scarring on his legs, which had taken the most burn damage. he was reunited with Flissa. Garrick never got out.

Tav’s relationship with Flissa was at its best after the fire, but still not good. the back and forth between “work with me today,” and “go to school or anywhere else, I don’t want to see you” was exhausting for him. he often argued to “work” with her or skipped school to do his own “work,” or else he wouldn’t see any coin or a sufficient meal that day. he started stashing his own money and thinking of taking a page from Yora’s book.

at sixteen, Tav did leave, after an emotional blowout and physical altercation with his mother. he unintentionally concussed Flissa, and while she sat dazed on the floor of their small apartment, he gathered his money, the money of hers that he could find, and simply walked out the door. Tav maintains that the short stint of homelessness that followed was entirely worth it. no more fists bearing down on him, no more yelling, independence. the same old pickpocketing, stealing, and conning (on different streets than his mother’s ‘stomping grounds’) helped him get by until a Guild member offered to recruit him for an up and coming kingpin.

at the start of Baldur’s Gate 3, Tav is 26 years old. he’s been a professional spy under the codename/psued “Locke” for several years now, working for an information broker who mostly deals with pettier nobles trying to bring down other petty nobles. it’s an easy job, people-watching and stealing information; he’s good at it, well paid for it. he doesn’t need to pick pockets or steal trinkets anymore, but old habits die hard, and he sees it almost as a fun little game to himself; he likes to see how much he can get away with before anybody suspects something. he boasts never having had guards or any Flaming Fist come after him, even without Guild protection. he has a small apartment on the third floor of a decent boarding house in the Seatower neighborhood of the Lower City, and that is where he was walking to when the mindflayers’ nautiloid swept over the city.

did simcoe...?

@nordleuchten gave me this idea for this with a post titled Did lafayette (Shoo! Go away! Why are you wasting your time here? Check it out!). I'm currently working on a project requiring me to wait for documents to be processed by an editing software and need something to do in the meantime, so here is did simcoe...? for your entertainment:

Did Simcoe lose an ear?

Depends on what we're talking about: the character of the same name from the TV show TURN: Washington's Spies loses his left ear in season 3, episode 7 (Judgement) when he is shot by Mary Woodhull.

Historically however, Simcoe did not lose an ear. He was wounded a couple of times, once in the left arm, but his ear was never affected.

Did Simcoe die in TURN?

Nope. It looks like he might in season 4, episode 8 (Belly of the Beast) for a moment when Caleb Brewster manages to shoot Simcoe from afar, causing him to fall over a railing in a dilapidated building (that I am 100% sure is totally historically accurate- cough, cough) straight onto a heap of bricks during a struggle with Abe Woodhull, but he survives, albeit gravely injured.

Did Simcoe torture Brewster?

On TURN yes, in reality, no. He really wasn't into the whole sadism-thing in real life.

Did Simcoe exist?

Good news, he did indeed! Born on 25 February 1752 to his parents Katherine and John Simcoe, he lived to the not particularly old age of 54, dying on 26 October 1806. As far as my research goes, there were descendants alive in the early naughties (and quite likely still are) that can offer living and breathing proof of his existence.

How did Simcoe die?

What a sad question. He had been sent to Portugal in 1806 in a diplomatic capacity if memory serves and grew increasingly ill throughout his stay. He was a severe asthmatic, which very likely contributed to his quickly deteriorating state of health. He tried to downplay just how poorly he was in letters to his wife until the decision to sent him back to England was made. The ship he had been sent home in was brand new and painted with lead-based paint, which may have had an adverse effect as well. The plan for Simcoe had been to finish his business in Portugal and then continue on to India, to assume the post of Commander-in-Chief; for that purpose, his wife and two eldest daughters were in London, shopping things for their new life abroad when they got the news Simcoe had been brought to Exeter and was no longer in a stable enough condition to be moved home. He was brought to a friend's house in Exeter, where he ultimately died on 26 October 1806 in the presence of his wife and two eldest daughters.

Did Lord Simcoe own slaves?

No, Simcoe was an abolitionist. His policy to gradually phase out slavery in Upper Canada was the first of its kind in the British Empire. He had originally wanted to abolish slavery entirely, but hadn't thought of the fact that many of the men he had appointed to his legislative assembly were enslavers, who rejected his idea.

And Simcoe wasn't a lord. He really wanted to be one, but never received any titles in return for his service. This not infrequent misconception probably has something to do with a now defunct Toronto hotel with the incorrect name Lord Simcoe or the Lord Simcoe Street in Brampton, Ontario.

When did Simcoe Day start?

Civic Holiday, a public holiday in Canada, has a regionally specific name in some places; in some places in Ontario, roughly congruent with the former Upper Canada, the holiday is named for Simcoe. Civic Holiday is every first Monday in August (2 August in 2021).

In Toronto, where the day is known as Simcoe Day, it started in 1875 as a summer holiday with no specific purpose other than letting people enjoy a summer day off, but was re-branded Simcoe Day in 1969.

When did Simcoe County go into Red Zone?

I have no idea of Canada's Covid-rules and regulations, but as far as I can tell from Google News, it looks like parts of Simcoe County moved to Red Zone on 12 February 2021.

PSA: Regarding the current Covid-19 pandemic, please turn to your local health agency for reliable information on current regulations, not a person on tumblr with an inexplicable interest in some dead guy who happens to have spread his name across a country like others do the virus.

Did John Graves Simcoe lose an ear?

Take a peek at the first question again.

Did Woodhull kill Simcoe?

What's it with all the TURN-related questions? Why does nobody ask about his rather dilettante (and at times, somewhat risqué) poetry? Or about Salem, his horse? Or about that time he was a rebel teen and participated in the Eton Rebellion of 1768? Or his wife, who led a fascinating life in her own right? Or-

No, Abraham Woodhull didn't kill Simcoe. Not on TURN (see question 2) and not in real life, either.
