BIOGRAPHY .
Antioch born and raised, Owen used to be a bit of a hellion back in the day. Always thought he was too big for the city and aspired to chase fame and fortune.
Owen moved to New York the second he was able to ( sort of ) afford to. Even climbed to the top of some hoity toity corporation. Lost contact with most of his family ( he's just so busy all the time ), and almost fell off with most of his friends back at home. Definitely made new ones, though. Ever the social maverick, it was almost a relief to forget his old life and fully integrate himself with the new.
It's the same relief that quickly warped into guilt when news of his parent's passing hit. Both of them gone in a blink of an eye from a DUI incident. The move back home happened just as sudden as that horrible phone call. He migrated to Antioch, seemingly dropping out of existence to those in New York. Barely any warning besides his immediate resignation and he's back in what used to be a familiar house.
Suddenly cast into a void of hurt, Owen was left with funeral arrangements and a plethora of loose ends. It took a while, lots of fumbling around, but the legal mess finally came to a neat enough close. Now, he's here. Manning a business of hospitality he once raced through the lens of youth. Off balanced and disquieted by the wrench that mangled his previous future.
MISC INFO .
Always been a social drinker ( hard not to when schmoozing his way into higher positions ), but swore off all alcohol after his parents passed. Might’ve never realized how close he’d been to alcoholism and the resurfacing thought leaves a sour taste in his mouth.
Picked up ASL out of boredom at first, really. Then it clicked how useful it can be to further his career. Eventually became an additional bonus of being able to communicate with acquaintances and friends before he, well, upped and disappeared.
CONNECTIONS .
Wanted Connection #1: Childhood best friend — As mentioned before, Owen lost contact with most of his friends from Antioch except this one. Though contact was sparse, they're usually the first to know 'what's new'. Definitely the only one to know how horribly his world crumbled when his parents passed / the decision to move back home and take over the family business.
Wanted Connection #2: Regular — Frequent traveler, Antioch native that just needs time away — whatever the reason is, renting a room out of On the Road happens like clockwork. Could've started before or after Owen's ownership. Though if it happened before, there'll be the addition of lingering grief included.
Wanted Connection #3: Support group goers — Felt like pulling teeth to get himself acquainted with group therapy for grief, but he finally caved. His attendance isn't perfect ( sometimes intentionally ), but it's been an ongoing goal to at least try.
