either with cars, or violence. his father laid into him about responsibility, and it eventually turned into a large uproar of screaming and broken house items. he ran away that night, crashed on a park bench with a bottle of cheap whiskey, and was picked up by the cops early that morning, who took him back home for his parents to deal with. ○ 2009, gambit officially drops out of high school and leaves his parents' house. unlike before, when he ran away, they didn't send anyone after him. he was given a free ride to destroy his life in whatever way he wanted; and that's exactly what he did. he moved into his buddy's house, and started his life of sex, drugs, and alcohol in a matter of days. ○ 2010, he broke his ankle, ribs, and knuckles in the same year (in that order). his ankle was due to a rough mosh pit that he had started in a crowd of crazy ass metalheads at a house party. a few months later, he broke three ribs after a drunken night of antics and horsing around; he crash landed into a headboard.. from a two-story bedroom window. his knuckles have been broken countless times, but the first time that he broke his knuckles was because his girlfriend at the time was being a skanky little hoe, and instead of piling his fist into her cheek, he hit the nearest object to him. that, unfortunately, happened to be a dumpster. ○ 2011, gambit starts to tinker more with cars, and he earns himself a part time job at one of the local mechanic shops in ottawa. he starts to make a name for himself, and besides his party reputation, he starts to get a lot of people interested in getting their cars fixed up (most of them being horny girls, but business is business, right? who cares if there's a little happy ending to a brake fluid refill?). by the end of the year, he was already making almost as much as the owner, and he'd already put two of the workers beneath his feet from his work ethic. ○ 2012, he meet a girl named ava, and to be honest, fell in love with her. they had a close relationship that built itself rather quickly without either of them intending it to. it eventually expanded into an actual relationship, where gambit was her property and she was his. unfortunately, their relationship wasn't exactly healthy, sane, or functional. ○ the beginning of 2013, he lost his job because of ava. he resulted back to heavier drugs and alcohol to keep himself from exploding with rage about it. but as his addictions grew worse, so did ava's, and every day that went on, she seemed less desirable to be around. ○ in 2014, ava and gambit split to try and better themselves. that, and the fighting and aggression was progressing too quickly, and gambit was scared he'd do something he'd regret one of the times she couldn't keep her mouth shut. after a weeks struggle, he kicked her out of his apartment and fell into a bout of depression, considering the only thing in the world that he actually loved in the world, he wasn't sure he could be around for longer than a few hours without getting annoyed. ○ 2015, he up and leaves everything in ottawa to backpack around canada to find himself. he only makes it to alberta before he turns back around and heads back to ontario. the only insight he managed to pick up along the way was that he was his own person, and fuck everyone else. no spirit animals came to visit him, or ghosts from his past. all he was left with was a dirty set of clothes, a few nickels and dimes in his pocket, and holy socks. ○ the end of 2015, he runs into ava again. she seems sober, and happy, and his feelings for her instantly sprout back up. she seems to feel the same, and they arrange a date later that week. the date quickly turned into a lust-filled ravage-fest in the backseat of his car, and they start their dysfunctional dance all over again. ○ 2018, they learn that ava's pregnant. she doesn't want to keep the child, and refuses to take care of it once it's popped out. gambit insists that she keeps it, and after quite a while of trying to convinence her, he manages to get her sobriety to a low enough level to agree. but keeping her sober was extremely hard for nine months. their fights were worse than ever during her pregnancy, and since he had enough on his plate about income and figuring out how they were going to live after the child was born, he really didn't appreciate the extra stress added on. he managed to find himself a job working as a bouncer at a night club in order to start getting some more money for baby things. ○ after kenzie's birth, in 2019, things seemed to settle down between gambit and ava. their happiness was always there whenever kenzie was awake or in the room, and neither of them had a lot of urges to dip back into their old wild ways. at least, gambit wasn't eager to stumble around like a drunken retard in front of his child. ava, on the other hand, was snorting anything she could when gambit's back was turned, regardless if kenzie was with her or not. ○ middle of 2019, gambit walks in on ava doing a mixture of cocaine and cheating while he was supposed to be working. he came home to see his girlfriend, the girl that he's loved for ten years, riding some prick's crotch while she does a line off his finger. to make matters worse, kenzie's crip was still in their bedroom, and despite the fact that she was too young to register what was going on, gambit lost it. luckily, he was able to hold off on any bloodshed (minus the broken nose he gave to whatever his name was) so he didn't have to put his daughter through that. but he kicked out her boytoy, flushed all her drugs, and threatened to take kenzie and leave. in fact, he was two steps away from actually walking out of his own apartment with his daughter in his arms. she pleaded for him to stay, and that she'd change. it was just a mistake, a mishap; everyone deserves a second chance. he fell for her bullshit because he wanted to believe her, and he didn't want to take his daughter's mother away from her. so he stayed, calmed down, and went to sleep. the next day, he woke up to an empty and cold bed, and both ava and kenzie were no where to be found. their clothing was gone, the money that gambit had been saving stolen, and the only sign that they had been there was a spiteful note that ava had left for gambit to walk up to. ○ the end of 2019, he up and left canada altogether. he couldn't bare to be in the same country as his daughter and his ex, and not have any way to find out where they were, or be able to contact either of them. he crossed the boarder into the states and started his life in miami, florida. there, he started to look for bouncer jobs, ways to get his anger out without getting some law enforcement attention. ○ beginning of 2020, gambit's approached at his bar job with a proposition. his reputation had been clear about his skills in fighting and endurance, and he was wanted for a bounty job. at first he thought it was a joke, and told them to fuck off, but after he was given proof that he'd be legally allowed to use whatever force necessary to get the man they wanted captured, he started to weigh out his options. within the hour, he was filing out his papers for their documents, and was given a temporary bounty badge until his was constructed. ○ the end of 2020, bounty hunting in miami starts to get to him. in need of a really long vacation, gambit starts scouting for a town to move to, and kick back for a little. he found boston, and he couldn't resist. after transferring all of his files, and letting his base of operations know where he'd be for the next however long he wanted, he was off. naturally, once he got to boston, it was a whole new plan. he was easily reeled in by the crime that everyone seemed to have lingering around them, and it wasn't long before his addictive habits were starting to boil again. sooner rather than later, gambit found himself back in a life he didn't want; but at the same time, it helped him get rid of the pain that ava had left in the pit of his heart.
