Ryan Gerwyn Azyda

"Just because you love something, or someone doesn't mean they get to boss you around. They don't get to decide your life. Only you get to do that." - Ryan to Briar

Personality:
Ryan hated lies and liked to keep things out in the open. He was naturally untrusting and very cautious. However, despite that he was typically quite social and an extrovert though defiantly not with out a shy side. He had trouble taking compliments because he he believed himself to be to flawed. Ryan never had good mental health, he struggled with self worth and depression for almost all his life and always relied on others to understand his worth. He loved animals and was very sweet with them. He could also be flirty but usually only when he had a drink or two and only towards Julian. Ryan also liked to mess with people from time to time. He used to make bets on his brother's relationship.

Backstory:
Ryan was adopted with his brother David when he was only two years old. He avoided his 'father' (Grey Azdya) and mostly stuck around his siblings and mother for most of his childhood. When he was about five he met Julian, who ended up being the love of his life (he didn't know that at the time though). As he grew older he began to cultivate friendships but none lasted longer then his and Julian's. When he was around 15 he realized that he was gay after many existential crisis. He started dating Julian at around the age of 16 and they were together for many years, Julian tragically died after being poisoned. After that Ryan stopped taking his depression medication and no one noticed because they were busy dealing with Julian's death. He killed himself at age 20, two years after Julian died. In that time he saw no hope, he was abandoned by his family (though not intentionally), his mental health was slipping and he kept creating this deeper whole of darkness and despair for himself
