character basics
NICKNAMES: Ehryn. Or Chef. But usually it’s “YES CHEF” in that case.
AGE: 35
GROUP: Somnium Staff
BIRTHDAY: March 14
OCCUPATION Resident Chef
GENDER: Male. Very. Male.
PLAY-BY: David Draimanappearance
Black leather? check. Shaved head? check. Tattoos and a double ringed lip piercing? Double check. Ehryn looks as if he has paused the screaming guitars, pounding drum set, and screaming vocalists and stepped off the stage during a hard rock concert. He uses his dark, piercing eyes to his advantage, often staring women-folk down in a way that can only make them feel a little breathless and mushy inside. His entire appearance is drenched in a strong sense of masculinity, including the way he carries himself down to the way he speaks. Due to a love for going to the dentist, his teeth are perfectly straight and brilliantly white, a vain point that he harps on day and night. While he doesn’t worry with any other personal beautification processes, he is obsessed with brushing his teeth furiously every morning and night. Identified by a particularly husky and rough voice, it is difficult not to recognize Ehryn without even seeing him. This voice can be used for several measures including admonishing kids who talk badly about his food, and whispering sweet nothings in a way that can’t be matched by many other men. Around five years before he started working at Somnium Academy Ehryn decided that his face simply didn’t look manly enough, despite his hard set jaw and striking cheekbones. He then had his lower lip pierced twice and now wears a set of double half rings constantly, except when he’s brushing his teeth and in the bed, of course. Ehryn is a short man compared to most, only ringing in at five foot ten. He makes up for what he lacks in height in his stocky, muscle bound body type. Never unable to pump iron and build more muscle easily, the man could be considered a meathead by most, though working at Somnium causes him to have to cut back on the work out times he usually pursues. He is always seen wearing relatively gothic clothes such as black mesh shirts and black leather pants, or something along those lines. It’s a bit hard to be hardcore, however, when one is wearing a chef’s apron and hat, but somehow Ehryn pulls it off.personality
Ehryn is the picture of virility, potent in almost everything he does, at least that’s the image he likes to give off. He has his insecurities, though after thirty five years of living he’s learned to hide them very well behind walls of macho-mumbo-jumbo. He comes from a place where emotions and feelings weren’t cared for or appreciated so, he learned to live without them. Instead of living for the future, he lives for the moment most of the time, doing what feels good to him instead of making the best choices in life. His personality changes depending on who he is around, with other men he’s almost always argumentative and takes most statements as challenges. Therefore, he’s always up for a dare or a contest of strength. Around women, however, he’s the epitome of a sweet talker, though a bit aggressive in his approach. He is demanding in his romantic endeavors and makes it clear that he is, indeed, flirting with a woman. Women aren’t necessarily only conquests to Ehryn, though he considers the “chase” amusing and one of the greatest parts about courting ladies. Not one to be said no to, Ehryn will pursue a woman even after she’s turned him down once or a twice, especially if he finds her irresistible. He isn’t stalker-like in his mannerisms despite being insistent, he is polite even if he is a bit lewd in some of his statements. He loves to curse, drink liquor and get wild, but at the end of the night, he only wants to have someone to snuggle.family & history

OTHER FAMILY: A slew of ethnically different people who he will occasionally bring up in conversation, never mentioning the same “brother” or “sister” twice.
HISTORY:
Ehryn only knew life as he had been presented it in a German orphanage. A hard-scrabble existence where the people who truly cared about you were few and far between is what he was exposed to as soon as he was able to comprehend the world around him. There were happy times in the orphanage, however, and the staff tried as much as they could to treat the kids as if they were part of some strange jumbled up family. With so many mouths to feed and little funding from the German state, however, even the people who worked there were hard pressed for resources, time, and even affection. The only friends Ehryn ever met were those who passed through the double doors and though they were happy when someone did get adopted, it always left a little gap in the souls of the children who were left behind. Ehryn was one of those children, growing up quickly much to his own chagrin. Families liked to adopted cute, pleasant children – not children who were constantly scraped up from climbing trees and fighting with other orphans. Though most people would consider a life without parents to be something damning, Ehryn honestly wasn’t phased by it too greatly. He would have rather been a boy with no ma or pa than to have been like the other kids who had a mother and father who had hurt them so much that they had to be taken away from them. For Ehryn, it was just easier to depend on as few people as possible while growing up. He did, however, make several strong friendships with other boys his age, contacts he still keeps up with and drinks with when they roll into the small village near Somnium Academy.
Ehryn began working at the age of twelve in order to have an income as well as to “serve a productive place in society” as the agency said they should do. Earning a small wage at a local bakery, the boy began to pick up the feel for baking, always trying subtle flavors in the pastries and loaves of bread that were sold there. His “bread of the day” became a bit hit at the bakery until he was old enough to attempt cooking in some of the restaurants around the town he lived in. His attentiveness to what people wanted to taste when they bit into things paid off and soon he was working hand in hand with several chefs and bakers in his town. He clashed with the owners of the businesses quite often, usually about the price they were charging for the food. Ehryn’s temper often got the best of him and sent him storming out of restaurants, cursing like a sailor, without even earning a day’s pay. By the time he was eighteen years old, too old to be a ward of his country, he was already a celebrated sous chef in his hometown and he began working steadily for one restaurant, inheriting it from the old man who owned it when he was twenty five years old.
It was difficult for a young, rowdy man to manage a large gourmet restaurant. He gave away too many drinks, put too many things “on the house” and soon, he found himself in a serious amount of debt. Luckily, one of the original restaurant owners’ sons had a nostalgic attachment to the place and saved it from being foreclosed on. Ehryn had only made enough money by the time he was thirty years old to buy a fancy sports car in full and rent a flat in town. Soon, the rest of the money he did have ran dry and rather than give up his shiny red car that screamed down the Audubon, he began searching for work. He found Somnium Academy within a few years, though he had been scraping by on pretty much nothing more than his good looks until he applied for the job. Not many people before this school had wanted to hire a man who looked like he did, but little did they know, he could cook like a god when he felt like it. Upon being hired at Somnium, he promptly fell into the pattern of drinking at night with the buddies in town and then slopping together the next day’s meals. It’s hard to create gourmet while feeding so many students, but some days Ehryn tries to bring a treat to the table, raising the hopes of some of the students. The rest of the time, however, it’s just easier to feed them mush and let them assume that it’s just how cafeteria food is meant to be in high school.dream form
Ehryn’s dream form is the truest form of irony conceivable. In the real world, he prides himself on his potent masculinity, but in the Dream World, he finds himself represented as a skimpily clad woman who is simply unable to resist the charms of men. She can’t handle alcohol in large amounts and immediately becomes giggly at the slightest sip. He refers to himself as “Erin” – his exact name in female form while in the Dream World. Erin is indeed a pert little blonde and easily attracts male attention, much to Ehryn’s dismay when he wakes up in the morning. It’s embarrassing, really…
