Character Information

Known History

Davy hails from the great state of Alabama, which anyone with ears to hear will be aware of within moments of meeting him. His "rural" accent and mannerisms are the butt of many jokes, most told by Davy himself. While it's rare these nights to hear at gather, Davy is most famous for his skills on the saxophone. He plays for Princes, Archons, countless other luminaries of the Camarilla, and if rumors are to be believed, other supernaturals as well.

Davy's mouth has been known to get him in trouble on occasion, but he's calmed down and learned a little about what it is to be a team player from his more refined clanmates. He's worn a number of hats during his time in Atlanta, including Whip, Lesser Harpy, and Keeper.

Davy had a fairly public feud with the Brujah of Atlanta, culminating in an Elysium debate between himself, Harpy (at the time) Victor Creed, and Victor's broodmate, former Archon Jon Sebastian, on the nature of Elysium and whether or not powers of the blood could be used there. Years of practicing the sax instead of speeches hindered Davy (to say nothing of the severe status-gap), and he was soundly defeated. He spent the rest of his time as Keeper a shell of his former vibrant self, growing a chip on his shoulder towards the Brujah that many insist he still carries.

Davy's time as Keeper ended after the 2009 Atlanta Gala, when he was publicly stripped of status for inadequate event preparations. Davy did not play politics. He focused instead on his music, going back to his roots as an affable good old boy. It seemed to pay off; after almost a year in the political wilderness, Davy rose to become Primogen of his clan in Atlanta after Lilyanna moved to join the court of Middle Georgia.

In his time as Primogen, the Year of Fire came and went. Davy spent time both in the background on on the front lines combating the threat, but he is not convinced that the threat is over, or that the obvious tactics of Moloch were the actual plans of Hell. He's taken to traveling to sites where reality is "thin or broken," taking notes, then leaving as quickly and unceremoniously as he arrives. While in Atlanta, however, he's still Davy. He is still signed with Patrella Media, and has recently stepped into the role of producer. In addition, he is the driving force behind a charity that has not only kept music in Atlanta public schools, but started a new school for musical prodigies. Before all else, Davy is still Toreador, and his music is still the most important thing to him.

Quotes

  • "Corner pocket, motherfuckers!" - Davy, before unloading his revolver into some pool-playing Sabbat
  • "Bullshit!" - Davy, more times than he can count
  • "I speak proper English, not this strange dialect you seem to have picked up!" - Rachel Dubhan, to Davy
  • "Hang 'em all." - Davy, when asked about infernalists (such as Wayne Brady)
  • "You're a have that's decided to be a have not." - Harley Draven, to Davy

Rumors

  • Davy faced the Devil in a musical duel...and won.
    • Davy is an infernalist. It turns out that duels don't always end like they do in songs.
  • Some feel that Davy is completely out for himself, and doesn't care about his Clan.
  • Davy can't actually play worth a damn; his instrument plays itself. It was a magical gift, either from the Tremere, the Setites, or the Devil himself. And now, it's busted.
  • Davy knows Necromancy, taught to him by the Baron Samedi, to whom he was introduced by Simon Random. That's how he finally got rid of the ghostly children that tailed him at Elysium...unless they were already bound to him, that is.
  • Davy's mortal family is old money from New England. His accent, his folksy ways, are all just a mask.
  • Davy started a riot to rescue a mortal reporter he has been dating. He burned the city again while fighting a musical demon. Moral of the story: don't involve Davy if you don't want the city to burn.
  • Using Telepathy on Davy is inadvisable. His music dominates his thoughts, as it would dominate the mind of any to hear it in such a pure way.
    • Using Telepathy on Davy is inadvisable simply because he's crazy. You don't want that to rub off on you.
  • While most Kindred have issues visiting the Fox Theater, Davy can attend shows there without being harassed.
