That picrew is amazing, I love it.
Great, great- Here you go, the backstory! I will warn, there are some details here that Garvin doesn't even remember and there's details that aren't here that he does. It's a very odd situation. Anyways!
--
He was born to Mauve and Aengus Campbell, a Catholic couple that married the June before he was born, in Ireland.
Within a week of being born, he was put into an orphanage because, well, guess what- They didn't want him. They hadn't wanted him at all. They hadn't even wanted to get married.
Anyways, so, he was in a shitty and most definitely abusive orphanage up until he was, uh, five. And then they burned his birth certificate and kicked him out onto the streets. Oops.
He was on the streets until he was around seven, at which point through some uh... Stuff. He ended up under the care of one Rudy Keegan. Who was absolutely terrible. Who also uhm. Kicked him out again onto the streets when he was around nine.
He was on the streets then until he decided to try and steal from a pirate at age eleven. At which point he ended up traveling with them until he fell off the ship and drowned because he can't swim. They got him out, had to do some CPR, you know- The whole deal. Anyways. That happened when he was twelve.
At this point, they obviously can't have him continue sailing with them so... The pirate who he'd tried to steal from, one David King known as Spade amongst the pirates, suggests taking him to his family in Nevada. So they do.
Eventually Garvin gets adopted by Spade's family, becomes Garvin King, and is... Relatively okay.
Once he's eighteen he starts traveling on his own again, gambling and doing odd jobs. Because it's what he's more used to. He goes through friends and lovers, he tests his luck quite a bit, and just overall is just being Garvin.
He does go back to Nevada to the King's household once a year but he never really stays very long because uh... Attachment issues?
Yeah, so, I mean. That's pretty much it, I think.
