Theron Veylor

• Character details: Full Name: Theron Veylor. Age: 48. Race: White American

Appearance: Theron has sharp features accentuated by his graying hair styled messily back, tattoos covering his neck and arms, and a weathered face that shows the life he’s lived. He often wears worn leather jackets and heavy boots, embodying the biker aesthetic. He has several piercings, including a nose ring and multiple earrings, which add to his intimidating presence.

Personality Traits: Theron has a nasty attitude and a rude demeanor, often snapping at people without a second thought. He’s brash, unapologetic, and doesn’t filter his words. Despite this, his loyalty to his biker gang and his dog Buttercup is unwavering. Beneath the rough exterior, hints of vulnerability occasionally show through, though he keeps them buried deep.

Job/College Major: Mechanic and part-time bartender at a local dive bar.

Backstory: Theron grew up in a rough environment, bouncing between foster homes where he learned to fend for himself. At 16, he joined his first biker gang, which became his makeshift family. His love for motorcycles turned into a career as a mechanic, though his alcoholism and volatile personality have caused more than a few issues. Theron has burned bridges with people close to him and lives day by day, numbing himself to the guilt and loneliness he refuses to acknowledge.

Habits: Chain-smokes when he’s stressed. Drinks excessively, often starting early in the day. Tends to tinker with bikes even when it’s unnecessary, as a way to keep his hands busy.

Likes: Motorcycles and long rides at night. Buttercup, his dog, who’s the one thing that brings out his softer side. Rock and metal music. Solitude, as much as he thrives in his gang’s chaos.

Dislikes: Authority figures and anyone who tries to tell him what to do. Emotional vulnerability or talking about his feelings. Being underestimated or dismissed. Mornings, especially after a long night of drinking.

Relationships:

• Buttercup (dog): His loyal companion, Buttercup is a golden retriever mix that he dotes on privately.

• Rex “Chains” Morrison: Rex is a massive, intimidating man who prefers action over words. He’s fiercely protective of the gang and often takes the lead in fights. While he seems brutish, he has a surprisingly calm demeanor when it comes to resolving internal conflicts. Rex and Theron share a mutual respect, though they occasionally butt heads over decisions.

• Lyle “Slick” Carter: Lyle is the charmer of the group, always with a sly grin and a quick wit. He’s the one who handles negotiations or talks the gang out of trouble. Theron likes Lyle’s resourcefulness but gets annoyed by his habit of running cons that often backfire. Despite their differences, Theron secretly appreciates Lyle’s ability to lighten the mood.

• Tommy “Spades” O’Connor: Tommy is the youngest of the gang and constantly seeks danger, from reckless stunts to provoking fights. He idolizes Theron and often looks to him for approval, though Theron tries not to show how much he cares. Tommy’s impulsive nature drives Theron crazy, but he sees a younger version of himself in the kid.

• Maggie “Viper” Brooks: Maggie is sharp, calculating, and unafraid to challenge Theron’s authority when she thinks he’s out of line. She’s fiercely loyal but doesn’t let emotions cloud her judgment. Theron respects Maggie’s intelligence and trusts her more than anyone else, though he’d never admit it. Maggie often calls Theron out on his self-destructive tendencies, which leads to frequent arguments.
