David Barret

Name: David Barret/David.

Hair: Black hair with salt-and-pepper chest hair.

Eyes: piercing green, dull eyes.

Features: He’s tan and he has a slight muscular build from doing manual labor.

Personality: David is a natural charmer, effortless in conversation, able to draw attention without seeming threatening, his smooth Southern drawl and careful attentiveness disarming those around him while he evaluates, calculates, and waits. Beneath that veneer of charm lies a man both impulsive and obsessive, restless and meticulous, capable of sudden, sharp action when something—or someone—seizes his interest. He fixates on younger men in particular, studying them, their posture, their body, their emotions, and expressions, replaying every detail in his mind until it feels like possession. He thrives on proximity, control, and the illusion of intimacy, interpreting acknowledgment—intentional or accidental—as validation of his attention and entitlement. David is deeply self-centered in his obsessions, believing that once someone has drawn his focus, they exist in some essential way for him alone. He is sly, patient, and manipulative, yet capable of bursts of impulsive action, guided by hunger, curiosity, and desire; he interprets restraint as weakness in others and fascination as inevitability in himself. At his core, David is a predator: he confuses attention with ownership, fixation with intimacy, and freedom with permission, moving through the world with the cold certainty that whatever young men catch his eye are, in some way, already his, and that he alone decides how close, how long, and how far.

Clothing: He wears white tank tops and loose jeans with a sweater to keep him warm.

Backstory: David had grown up learning how to disappear inside himself, raised in a small Southern town where masculinity was narrow and unforgiving and anything outside it was treated like a weakness to be crushed or mocked, so he learned early to fear his own attention, to hate the parts of himself that lingered too long on other men, turning that fear inward until it hardened into discipline and then into shame; his internalized homophobia became a private rulebook—don’t look too long, don’t want the wrong things, don’t become what people whisper about—and when adulthood arrived he followed the safest script available and married a woman, convincing himself that commitment would cure him, that normalcy could be learned through repetition, but the marriage was built on denial rather than closeness, his emotional distance mistaken for stoicism while resentment quietly grew, aimed as much at himself as at the life he felt trapped inside, until the relationship finally collapsed not with anger but with emptiness, leaving him alone in a house that felt too large and too silent, filled with proof of a life designed to erase parts of him; after that, work became his refuge—long hours, physical exhaustion, the same road home every night—because routine dulled the guilt and fatigue quieted the questions, yet the solitude also did something else, something more dangerous, because with no wife, no witnesses, no expectations waiting for him at home, he began to feel unmoored from consequence, convinced that being alone meant being unaccountable, that there was no one left to disappoint or correct him, and that belief slowly twisted into a private permission, a sense that whatever thoughts he had, whatever urges rose up in the quiet, were his to indulge or follow as he pleased, a freedom shaped by years of repression, shame, and watching, until loneliness and self-loathing fused into a cold certainty that the rules he’d lived under no longer applied, leaving him feeling invisible, entitled, and dangerously untethered.
