Editing Ted Havens (section)

==Personality==
Calm collected. Is working With Bristow as part of a greater goal.<ref name=":0">Depending on one’s choice of definitions, Ted was chosen as a scapegoat or a champion.  When a primeval predator encroached on a sleepy PEI town, a higher power of unknown origin settled on him as its means of dealing with the problem, a boy with no career prospects who sometimes hunted and fished.  He was pointed in the beast’s direction, encouraged, and was summarily devoured.<br><br>Ted then, as he tells it, saw a bright light and heard screaming.  He emerged from his mother’s loins and landed in her shit, an unfortunate byproduct of some childbirths that nurses normally attempt to clean up in a timely manner.  He was wet, pink, and lacking in muscle coordination, and lived out thirty-five years of his life as an affable if impatient genius.  The primeval beast emerged, attacked his town, and he was told to fight it.  He drove in the other direction until midnight, blacked out, and saw a bright light as he emerged from his mother’s loins, landing amid her shit.<br><br>There is no telling how many times Ted lived out his life, but he became intimately familiar with his town, he eventually found his courage and practiced, and collected weapons with a mind to defeating the reptile from an age before things had form or easy label.  He suffered ego death, found himself again, honed his abilities, traveled the world to learn from the best people possible, and became Aware of many things in the world.<br><br>He did eventually become a competent enough warrior to slay the beast, rallying the people in town as allies and armed forces, but the damage was so severe that the town was wiped from the maps and collective consciousness, to minimize questions.<br><br>Ted Havens moved west, lacking a sense of purpose now that his great journey was done, at unease with the universe and paranoid that he would be pulled into another great quest that would test him on so deep a level.  He ended up discovering the Sargent Ave Hall apartment complex, and took up residence there, where he remains a resident advice-giver and helping hand.  When Bristow is away or sick, Ted takes over the duties around the place, and many residents prefer it when he does. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/09/17 Bonus Material: Dossiers]</ref>


He does fear ever having to go through the same experience again, the thousands of years in the loop having divorced Ted from his original self.

===Relationships===
====[[Bristow]]====
Received critical aid that let Ted free himself. Is well aware of Bristow's ambitions and goes along with them for now. He went with Bristow when his landlord visited the Blue Heron Institute.

====[[Marie Durocher]]====
Was never able to really meet and talk with her, possibly due to how his cycle was structured.<ref>“I know about them too.  In some ways, better than you do.  If you would like to call it a draw now, we can excuse it by saying the esteem and power your god holds reaches to deeper places and times.  I wouldn’t have this knowledge if he wasn’t strong.  I came prepared.”<br><br>“I’m not sure that’ll fly, Ted.”<br><br>“Sit, let’s wait for students to arrive and for dinner to be served.  I’ll tell you things about your tools that you might not know.”<br><br>“My mentor won’t like that.”<br><br>“She’s been hinting at her interest in my story.  We can pacify her if I let her ask some questions.”<br><br>“I think you’re wildly overestimating how easy she is to pacify.”<br><br>“I might be.  In the course of my journey, there were many people important enough that I came to know them intimately in the course of my journey, many who… well, my memory isn’t perfect.  I can’t recall everyone I met.  And then there were some who were like your mentor.”<br><br>“Different?”<br><br>“Deliberately out of my reach.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/12/22 Excerpt] from [[Gone Ahead 7.a]]</ref>
