Yes Ma'am, no ma'am, yes sir, no sir. He is a kind hearted man who will do anything to keep people safe. Willing to put himself on the line without a second thought. He is charming and quick to smile. Laughing and joking regularly even in the most tense of situations. Gavin is just one of the boys you want to have around. He is a romantic, and very loving. Getting close to people quickly and considering them family. Gavin does have his downsides. He is impetuous, rarely thinking before he acts. He just kind of rolls with it. This can get him in trouble and while he doesn't have a problem with authority he will do in the end what he feels best, fuck order. Texans walk to their own beat of the drum. When he wants to be, Gavin can be very intimidating, and down right scary in his actions and words. Granted, when he gets to this point, words usually aren't the issue, his actions are. He can be quick to temper and go to dark places but he is working through some issues like all. For the most part Gavin just wants to live and enjoy life.

The guy was on some new drug that Gavin was never able to find out what it was but he OD's and died in the cell. While waiting for the coroner to arrive they housed the body in the cell since there was no one else there and it was already a mess. The corpse reanimated during the wait time and tried to grab Gavin through the bars. He still says to this day that was the biggest pain in the ass prisoner he ever had to deal with. [b][color=f26522]History Before Outbreak:[/color][/b] Gavin was born and raised in the great state of Texas and is a Texan through and through. As a child running through the fields and doing what country boys did on the farm. Never took it seriously, he was just out to have fun. He played football, who didn't in Texas? It was a religion. God, Family, Football. He was recruited in High School to play for Texas A&M and graduated with a degree in criminal justice. He was good but never good enough to be a pro football player but he didn't care. After college he joined the Austin Police Department and worked his way up quickly. He was a bit of a problem causer but he got the job done. After eight years with the department and being promoted to major crimes he joined the Texas Rangers. During this time he met his wife Christiana and life was good. Yet a drunk driver ended up killing her while he was out on a case. He never got to say goodbye, Christiana dying minutes before he arrived at the hospital. Gavin ended up going into a very dark place. Drinking and becoming near suicidal. he never tried to kill himself persay but he did nothing to try to stay safe anymore when it came to work. He started taking unneeded risks and nearly got his partner killed before he finally began to sober up. It was a hard climb and took several years but eventually Gavin was able to see the light again and move on. There are still twinges every now and then but he feels his wife would be proud of him with as far as he has come. He knows she would want him and be happy. [b][color=f26522]History Since Outbreak:[/color][/b] The outbreak came quickly in Texas, they first thought it was just some out break of some South American flu or something but that wasn't the case as we know. He stayed in Austin as long as he could, working with the Ranger, the local police, and the military to try to keep the streets clear. It was just too much. The high population of Austin made it a target site. He was able to lead a large group out of Austin to his families ranch before Austin was napalmed. For the next two years they held up at his families large ranch. Turning the main house, and guest quarters into quite the community. Farming, water from the river, it wasn't a bad life. It was probably easier than most had it for a long time. Sure there were walkers but Texans are tough and never had problems with guns. They just turned into target practice. Gavin figured he might actually just grow old and die there but things are never as easy as they seem. The lack of cold winters in the area, hot summers, and more all lead to everything falling apart. Illness hit, a hoard came through destroying what little crops they had that year and more took out most that lived there. Gavin barely made it out with a dozen others and headed east, figuring it was better to go that way than towards the deserts to the west or the tornado torn plains to the north. Like hell he was going south. Gavin doesn't do open ocean. Life on the road was far harder than life on the ranch, slowly one by one he lost people. It started driving him back to that dark place but he keeps pulling himself out of it each morning knowing that Christiana wouldn't want him to give up. Right now he is just looking for a new place to call home and a new group to call family.
