Supplemental Information
  • Family Lineage: The Thorne family are an old Gray Harbor family, but in recent years their numbers have been dwindling.
  • Thorne Family: Byron and his family lived in an old house on Oak Street for all of his childhood and adolescent years. The house itself had history and was the home to the Thorne family for many generations since their arrival to Gray Harbor.
  • Parents: Byron's father Stephen Thorne was a police detective for the Gray Harbor PD. His mother Mary Thorne was a long-time waitress at the Grizzly Den when Byron was a child, long before it changed management.
  • Closest Childhood Companions: Byron was best friends with Tobin Gilford and very close friends with Lilith Winslow. They made a near inseparable trio for a time. Rumor has it that Byron had a crush on Lilith when they were around 13.
  • Gray Harbor Adventurer's Guild: Byron was part of Kevin Walter's Gray Harbor Adventurer's Guild for a time.
  • Tragedy Strikes: Stephen Thorne took his life when Byron was 12. The family was stricken with poverty due to his many debts. Byron stops attending Adventure Guild meetings.
  • Hard Worker: Byron began working under-the-table jobs or ran his own business ventures when he was almost 13 years old. He often did work for someone or other. On top of that, he had business ventures that he'd rope other children and their parents into.
  • Fractured Friends: The trio of childhood friends were fractured when Lilith withdrew from the crew when they were 14.
  • Class of 2009: Byron was known as the usually friendly, helpful kid with these big ideas. He was always mostly cheery and polite.
  • USC: Went to USC for college, majored in Business and Financing.
  • Mother's Plight: Byron's mother, Mary Thorne, sold the family home on Oak and moved into Huckleberry Trailer Park after Byron went off to college, still suffering the debts of her husband.
  • Return Home: Byron returned to Gray Harbor in 2016, having made his wealth with several start-up business and other ventures when in California. He purchased the Bayside Apartments at this time and began some renovations. One of the first things that he did on his return was to pull his mother from out of the Trailer Home Park and set her up in one of his apartment suites.

Relationships
Lilith's icon
Lilith

Lilith was this girl that Byron had met at the school playground one day. He helped her reach up for the monkey bars and since then they became fast friends. She lived at the trailer park and her father was a drunk just like his. To help her escape what he felt was a dreary life, he took her on many of his adventures and introduced her to his friends. She even hung out with the other Gray Harbor Adventurers, sometimes, and played all kinds of nerd games with them.

Byron introduced her to his best friend, Tobin, and Lilith soon became one of the children who would also gather at Tobin's house for his mother's cookies and warmth. In fact, on many days, Lilith, Byron and Tobin were this trio wandering around town. Over time, Byron took a liking to Lilith. At first, he thought of himself as her protector, but as they both grew into adolescence, it looked to be something more.

Then she just shut herself away and began to avoid him. Byron and Tobin tried to reach out to her all throughout high school, but she resisted every attempt they made. At some point, Byron gave up. She must've had her reasons even though he didn't understand them. He made one last attempt before heading out to college, but that was done in vain.

Recently, he received a mysterious text message from someone who'd gotten his number off an ad in the paper promoting the Bayside Apartments. He came to find out that it was Lil after all these years. Now that she's back in his life, they have some catching up to do and maybe she'll be forthcoming with some answers.

Tobin's icon
Tobin

Byron can't remember a time when he wasn't best friends with Tobin. They were a pair of laid-back and happy-go-lucky kids who weren't trying to terrorize the town. They spent a lot of time outdoors adventuring when they weren't playing D&D or video games with Kevin. That's when they adventured indoors. Yes, they were both part of Kevin's Gray Harbor Adventurer's Guild.

Byron was there for Tobin when Tobin's father left for New York. And Tobin and his mother were there for Byron whenever he needed a place to go to be out of his own father's hair. Tobin's house was actually Byron's favorite place to be. It felt safe and comforting. Mrs. Gilford was everything Byron wished his own mother could be. She was sweet and nurturing and served them cookies and other snack foods every afternoon and weekend that he was there.

Unlike with some of his other childhood friends, once his father died, Byron and Tobin remained as close as ever, despite all of the odd jobs that Byron was working at that age. They remained best friends well into high school when Byron was once more there for his friend when Tobin lost his mother to... No one's sure what happened to her.

They kept in touch even after Byron went off to California for college and have since reunited on his return. Byron returned to their hometown as a changed man, but throughout the years, Tobin had watched that change from afar from their correspondences, so once he'd returned they were able to continue on as if he'd never left.

Erin's icon
Erin

Former Tenant

Everyone in Gray Harbor knows of the Addington Family. They are some of the most influential people in town. By the time Erin was a Freshman at TSA, Byron was already a Senior. He was always the friendly sort who was never really part of one particular group, so would mingle around often. While he didn't know her very well, he more than likely tried to talk her into an investment or two, seeing that she's born of money. It didn't hurt that she was easy on the eyes if she turned any of his entrepreneurial offerings down.

She's one of his tenants now. Or, well, she's residing in a suite that is under her grandmother's care. It's sometimes pleasant to catch up with faces from your past and this case is no different. She's as fashionable and high maintenance as ever. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Byron is often cordial with her whenever they meet, though it might not be terrible thing to do a little catch up over a drink or two.

Geoff's icon
Geoff

If there were any of the kids that would get the rest into a heap of trouble, that kid would be Geoff! If Kevin ran an indoor Adventurer's Guild with his gaming, Geoff's adventures often took place outdoors and would be considered far more dangerous and sometimes illegal. Byron would tag along whenever he could, but once he'd sensed that something might land them into trouble, legal or otherwise, often times, he'd bow out before getting in too deep. The same goes for any adventuring late at night. The last thing that Byron needed was for his father to catch him in the act of these shenanigans or, even worse, having one of his father's friends catch him and then haul him back home by the scruff for his father to deal with.

After his dad's passing, Byron was given more freedom, now lacking any adult supervision because his mother was always too busy to look after him. It was at this point that he was able to join in on the fun more often and for a time, he'd do just that. That is, in between working and trying to get his projects off the ground.

At some point in high school, Geoff made friends with the wrong crowd and while Byron was studying to get into college alongside his money-making endeavors, Geoff got himself into real trouble and was arrested. Byron had lost touch with him a little at this point, but made the effort to visit him once before he went off to college.

Geoff's out of the clink now, which is a good thing. All of this just reminds Byron that he needs to be careful or he could end up the way Geoff did back in the day.

Isabella's icon
Isabella

When Byron became friends with Isidore, he also befriended Isabella as well. In fact, Isidore and Isabella were an inseparable pair of twins who rarely let people into their circle. Perhaps it was Byron's natural charm and easy-going, friendly attitude that helped gain him this privilege.

While Byron's friendship with Isidore was your typical boys being boys type of deal, with an addition of Glimmer of knowledge, his relationship with Isabella was a little more competitive. Though he was a year older than the twins, Byron and Isabella became friendly rivals in various activities. Both were ambitious go-getters and there was some one-upsmanship going on.

The same year that Mrs. G. and Isidore vanished, Isabella was sent away. It's nothing that Byron had much time to think on, since he was preparing for graduation and to ship out to college. He almost forgot everything about any of that when he reached Los Angeles.

Kevin's icon
Kevin

A year older than Byron, Kevin was one of those kids who spent a lot of free time at home playing games and doing other things that some might consider geeky. Byron didn't mind so much and Kevin's house was one of his go-to spots, as a child, whenever he wanted to avoid being at home whenever his father was around. Here he was introduced to Dungeons & Dragons and all sorts of fantastical things that helped take his mind away from his own troubles at home. They were part of the Gray Harbor Adventurer's Guild. After Byron's father died, he no longer needed that outlet. He still kept in touch sometimes, trying to get Kevin's involvement in some entrepreneurial scheme or other.

Now that they're older, Byron had not forgotten part of that childhood spent at Kevin's house. They were grown-ups and had followed their own paths, but it's good to check in on old friends from time to time.

Magnolia's icon
Magnolia

When you're the child of a police officer, you tend to know the children of other police officers because your parents drag you to various family functions to show the other cops just how supportive their family truly was. So Byron went to the many Gray Harbor Police Department family picnics and potlucks or sometimes it's a softball game. He's met quite a few cop-kids due to these functions, children like Andi and May.

Magnolia's life strangely mirrored his own in an odd way. They were around the same age. Both were children of a cop in town. And both of their father's died when they were 12.

In fact, Byron liked Magnolia's father. He'd come around often to check in on the Thorne family and something told Byron that Detective Nathaniel Jones knew of his plight.. somehow. Or perhaps, Nathaniel knew his friend and fellow police detective better than most others in the precinct. Including Stephen Thorne's tendency to drink.

Magnolia and her family were there for Byron when his own father took his life, but then it was Byron's turn to be there for Magnolia when her father was killed while on duty. It was a rough time to be the cop father to a 12 year old kid in Gray Harbor. Byron had been quietly grateful for the support that Magnolia's father had given him, so this loss affected him more than the loss of his own father.

Byron would often try to drag Magnolia around to get her out of her house in the hopes of cheering her up, though even he knew that her family needed her during their time of crisis. Despite his busy schedule due work, he'd kept up contact with her and her family through the years, only losing it during his stint away from Gray Harbor when he went to college.

Andi's icon
Andi

When you're the child of a police officer, you tend to know the children of other police officers because your parents drag you to various family functions to show the other cops just how supportive their family truly was. So Byron went to the many Gray Harbor Police Department family picnics and potlucks or sometimes it's a softball game. He's met quite a few cop-kids due to these functions, children like Magnolia and May.

The Johnson children were the kids of Officer Andy Johnson and his wife. There were three of them in all. The eldest was David who was a true athlete and highly well-liked by all. The youngest was Krissy, who was a special needs child. Both had the attention of their parents. Then there was the middle child, Andrea. She was Byron's age and had the same friendly, happy-go-lucky demeanor that he did. The pair hit it off well enough because of this.

When Byron's father took his life when Byron was 12, the Johnsons, like many other police families in town, paid their respects to the man and offered up any support they could for the family. Andi even tried her best to be a shoulder to lean on for Byron, especially learning just how much in debt he and his mother were in, after his father's passing. Byron, however, was a resilient sort and before too long, he began forging his own path, sometimes roping Andi in with some of his many entrepreneurial endeavors.

When one of Byron's best friends, Lilith, withdrew from him when they were 14, Andi was there with words of support. When Byron was being bullied by a wealthy, jackass named Easton who came to Gray Harbor every summer vacation, Andi helped stand up for him. Even after they graduated and went their own way, Byron to USC to study Business and Finance and Andi to the Police Academy, they both kept in touch, keeping the other up-to-date with everything going on.

Byron found it both intriguing and amusing with the idea that one of his friends was actually training to become a police officer, for at this time, he was already working for Felix Monaghan. Not only that, she returned home to enlist with the GHPD. Of course, he was proud of her, even though he knew that if he took any missteps, she'll eventually learn who he truly is. And he knows full well that she is one that Shines. He'd seen her surrounded by the light as children, so with that in mind, he tends to be extra careful around her.

Frankie's icon
Frankie

Frankie was a girl that Byron would see out on the boardwalk from time to time with her mother. As how his father put it, Frankie's mom was either a nut job or a con artist, because who believes in that psychic bullshit. Sometimes Byron would run into her at Tobin's place or at a gaming session with Kevin.

Then after his father's passing, when Byron began working on some of his earliest start-up businesses, he teamed up with Frankie on several projects. Obviously, the girl knew a thing or two about business, or at least drawing customers in, since she'd been working alongside her mother all these years. One of their ventures was to find the recipes to all of the Girl Scout cookies, get several kids' moms to bake them, then undercut the Girl Scouts by selling them year round at a slightly lower price point. There were several other business ventures that followed all throughout high school.

After Frankie's mom skipped town, Byron had wondered if she could survive life on her own. Not that he was in a situation to help her out at the time. It wasn't until he returned from college that he learned that Frankie was one of Felix's as well. Something he finds interesting, but not unsurprising.

Isidore's icon
Isidore

Where Tobin was less forthcoming, and later on, had cautioned Byron on the uses of these mysterious abilities as children, it was Isidore who worked to tilt the balance in the other direction. Like many of the others Byrone'd witnessed in town, Isidore's light shown brightly and in a sense, despite not truly understanding the Glimmer at all, there was this sense of inferiority within the young Thorne, so while he didn't do much in practice to hone his skills, it was always a wonder to observe Isidore work his own magic.

With Isidore's friendship, he gained a similar bond with the boy's twin sister. In fact, after Byron's father died and the Thorne family were struggling to make ends meet, it was the twins' father, Navy Captain George Reede who was one of Byron's earliest investors, being a self-made man himself.

2009 was a strange and terrible year. Around the same time that Tobin's mother vanished, Isidore went missing as well. The disappearance of both remains to be an unsolved mystery.

Julia's icon
Julia

One of Byron's earliest jobs was working as a delivery boy for the Fried Fish Stand on the boardwalk. He was 13 at the time and the owners were kind enough to pay him under-the-table for his services, knowing that his family were having some financial troubles. He made friends with the owner's kids, two of which were somewhat older than he was. The third, Julia, was a few years younger. While he waited for orders to be prepared to be sent out, he'd play games with them and at some point, introduced his friends to them as well.

Eventually, Byron moved on, having other various business ventures of his own. Then rumors were going around about Julia Velez about her being sent away out of state when she was 11. He'd wondered about that and even asked her parents one day, but they gave him no definitive answers.

Byron would come to meet up with Julia again in San Francisco during his college stint in California. He was looking for projects to work on and San Francisco seemed like a great place to gain inspiration for some hip food start up. Those small town rumors aside, she really looked as if she were doing well for herself.

A couple of months ago, he'd caught wind that she was back in town. At first, he'd thought it was for a visit after their family tragedy, but he later learned that she had taken up the family business proper. He'll pay her a visit from time to time to give the place some business and to check in on them.

Vivian's icon
Vivian

Byron knew Vivian from when they were both attending college at USC. He was there for business and she was there for medicine. She'd never known Byron to not have money, for at this point, he's been rolling around in the funding that Felix had given him for their various business ventures in the big city. However, she was there to partially watch the transformation from small town boy to the person he is today.

They'd met one stormy spring day at a cafe between classes, waiting for the rain to let up with coffee, croissants and conversation. Things moved quickly from there as they'd hit it off pretty well. Both led incredibly busy lives, so while there were moments where they'd moved in together to live in Byron's off campus lodging, it was far more practical that they kept two separate apartments. In fact, theirs was a mostly on-again, off-again relationship.

Even after he'd moved back to Gray Harbor, Byron would take the long drive down to L.A. when they were at an on-again point, keeping somewhat to a long-distance relationship. The last he'd heard from her, she was finishing up her residency and was looking into her options for the future.

Suite #400

Byron's known Easton long before becoming the man's landlord. They weren't friends or anything like that, but with Easton's parents owning a vacation suite at the Bayside Apartments when they were both kids, they'd sometimes run into each other during the summers, being of similar age.

From what Byron could remember, Easton was an entitled asshole. He and his family had money, though, so despite the poor treatment he was given by the kid, Byron did his best to try and stay on the guy's good side in the hopes that some of that wealth would rub off on him! Or, at the very least, he could get the rich kid to invest in some of his projects. This did mean enduring some not-so-good-natured pranks and hazing.

Of course, Byron's never forgotten what he'd had to go through to get Easton's assistance in their adolescence, even though Easton seems to be a changed man. He's also learned a thing or two about just how deep the Marshall family's ties to Gray Harbor goes.

Alexander's icon
Alexander

Byron's known of Alexander before he even met the guy. From what his father's told him, Alex was some nosy kid who always muddled up crime scenes with just his presence alone. For Stephen Thorne, Alexander was 'That Damn Kid' and for once, the detective wasn't talking about Byron.

Then Byron eventually met up with that pesky kid. The first time, he'd sensed someone outside, only to find Alexander skulking around his house, probably keeping tabs on his father. This did not alarm Byron in the least and before long, he just let the guy hang around as he went back inside.

They'd had several run-ins over the years. Alexander even paid his respects at his father's funeral. Now, Byron's not one to judge the weirdos too much and every boy's got a hobby, but he figured that 'That Damn Kid' would've grown up to become a police detective one day. That does not seem to be the case.

Dahlia's icon
Dahlia

Gina's icon
Gina

Byron and Gina had gone to school together and only really knew of each other in passing. That didn't stop Byron from trying to get her to invest into one of his projects because 1. He often asked everyone to do so 2. He knew that she was well-off enough. Her father was Kalvin Castro.

She was an odd sort, especially in high school. Some people thought she was a witch because of her interest in goth things. Or maybe it's because of the seances. Either way, he knew of her and sometimes talked to her, but that was the extent of their relationship.

Now he's heard that she bought out that old diner that his mother used to work at back in the day. The work that she put into it is pretty impressive. He'll have to stop by more often to determine whether the fare on the menu is better than the crap that his mother used to serve.

Jack's icon
Jack

Byron drives a Rolls Royce Wraith and you don't often find mechanics in small towns such as Gray Harbor dealing in luxury vehicles. It's a good thing that Jack knows his cars inside and out, so Byron can put trust in the town's mechanic without worrying that he'll screw something up.

Vince's icon
Vince

Vince Bishop was still a beat cop when Byron's father was alive. The police department can be a rather tight-knit group and most of Stephen's colleagues believed that he was a good man and a great detective and a loss to the force when he took his own life. Vince included. Byron's held some bitterness about this over the years, but it's not as if he ever spoke up about his troubles at home. Like many of his father's colleagues, Vince was morally supportive of his family when they hit hard times.

Throughout the years, Vince was promoted to Detective for his good work. When neither of them are busy, they sometimes keep in touch, now that Byron's returned to town, very much like most of the cops who'd worked with his father. While he'd rather not have the police force snooping around in his business, it's good to have a few who have looked out for you since childhood.

System Information
  • Bayside Apartments - Byron Thorne has been the owner of the Bayside Apartments since 2016 when he returned to Gray Harbor from California. He keeps tabs on all of the residents there, being meticulous with what goes on in his property.
  • Returning Local - He's lived in Gray Harbor all his life until he went off to college and came into his successes. He's far more polished now, professionally speaking. Yet, in friendly company, folks will see that he's still the same charismatic boy that they knew.
  • Entrepreneurial Mind - Ever since he was a child, Byron's found ways to make money. Now that's finally come into his own, he's always thinking of the next project to work on and is willing to brainstorm with like-minded individuals.
  • Son of a Police Detective - The son of the late Police Detective, Stephen Thorne, Byron's known many of the department's police force since he was a child. Some of the older officers even watched him grow up. If you were part of the police department 17 years ago or more, or are attached in some way due to familial ties with a cop, you may have history with Byron and his family.
  • Troubled Past - While the Thornes had done fine with hiding the turmoil within their family due to Stephen's drunkenness, there are probably some who had taken notice and had befriended Byron at that point in his childhood. It's not really something that he opens up about, but given some of these dreams that make him relive his past, it's a topic that does come up now and again.
  • Illegal Dealings - Much of Byron's success is due to Felix, at least where start up capital is concerned. He did jobs for the crime boss in California and now, with much of Felix's backing, he owns the Bayside Apartments which is sometimes used in illegal dealings, but Byron knows how to be discrete and to throw people off his tail. If need be, he also knows of the right cops to bribe to help him keep this cover of innocence.

On the outside, the Thornes were your typical Gray Harbor family, if there were such a thing. Stephen Thorne was a police detective, his wife, Mary, a waitress at the Grizzly Den Diner. Whatever money that Stephen brought home, he squandered on booze and when he drank, he became an angry drunk. The house was always a mess, even if it was littered by his own empty whiskey bottles. When he was in this mode, there was not enough quiet in the world to appease him. He lashed out at his family and his son, Byron, especially. Unknown to Byron during these moments, his thoughts and emotions would project into his father's mind, so even if he hadn't said a word, his father had heard or felt something, perhaps sensing his son's fear and hatred towards him. This set him off even more.

There came a point during these beatings when Byron began to notice the darkness, only then realizing his own potential. When he was 12, his father took his own life. It was the stress of the job, people had said and the police department mourned the loss of one of their own. Stephen's passing left the family almost destitute, relying on Mary's sole income to pay off her late-husband's many debts. They had the support of many of Stephen's colleagues, but there was only so much that they could offer, having families of their own to raise.

From an early age, Byron learned to be resourceful, taking on various odd jobs since he was 13. He was a paperboy, mowed people's lawns or raked up their leaves. He always had some business venture or other in mind and he didn't have any qualms about doing manual labor, having done a stint at the Sawmill when he turned 16. He's worn many hats in his lifetime and still managed to keep decent grades and a normal social life, despite his childhood trauma. In fact, he possessed this magnetic charm that drew people to him.

It was just before he was set off to go to college that Byron was 'hired' by Felix Monaghan to make a delivery to California. Of course, there was more that the crime lord had asked him to do, for this was just the start of their relationship. While he took classes on business management and financing, Byron ran jobs and did deals on Felix's behalf all under the cover of some entrepreneurial investment or other. He also had a couple of successful startups under his belt at this time. Byron was living the life he'd always dreamed up.

When he returned home, a successful entrepreneur, his mother and his father's old colleagues from the police department were proud of what Stephen's son had become. Even if he didn't join the force himself. Byron had always been discrete in his workings with Felix. He knew he had a reputation to uphold, being the son of a police office; something which worked in his favor ever since stepping foot back in Gray Harbor. He had history with many of the older officers and some even considered him family, in a sense.

With his hard earned money, which in truth, a majority of it was put up by Felix, Byron took over ownership of the Bayside Apartments. For the most part, he runs this as a legitimate business. Though when it comes down to it, some of the empty units are used as a stash house and the business itself is used to launder some of the money that changes hands. He'll even put up some of Felix's important clientele within one of their suites whenever any comes into town.

Returning back to Gray Harbor was a chore after living it up in California. Back to the mother he resented for her inability to protect him all those years when he was a child, something which reminds him of everything that he's tried to put behind him. And then there was that strangeness that always surrounded the town. This dark mystery that he had yet to scratch the surface of.

Dark brown hair is always well groomed, kept short on the sides, but allowed to grow longer on the top, and styled with a good amount of pomade or gel to keep it in place. His features are classically handsome, with strong dark brows and a well groomed beard and mustache. Dark brown eyes can go from soulful, full of emotions, and to nothing but blank deadness depending on the situation. Everything about him screams someone who has spent a fair amount of time each morning putting together their look, from hair to the very smallest of accessory, like which watch to wear.

Predominantly he wears polos, button downs, or nice sweaters, even when he dresses all the way down to something like a t-shirt it is well kept, and probably pricier than a ten dollar shirt from the cheap store. When he chooses to dress up the suits are well tailored for his body frame, and always in the most current of styles.

2019-11-28 - Thankful for...
**Open vignette scene.** Feel free to share a snippet of your character's Turkey Day. Could be anything - something that happens/ed off-camera, a character you didn't get a chance to play, a misty water-colored memory, whatever's clever. Note that this isn't a "live" scene in the traditional sense; just a collection of vignettes around a common theme. I'll be leaving it open until Friday the 16th at around 4:30 PM Pacific / 7:30 PM Eastern.
