Character Name: Richard Campbell Gansey III please call him Gansey Character Pronouns: he/him/his Character Canon: The Raven Cycle (see previous re: garbage-fire canons) Intended Housing: Carroll House room 42 Intended Position: Student Summary of Character: For a guy with no superpowers, Gansey's been through some stuff. He's died twice, can command spirits, is now part magical forest, and has a quirky relationship with time. It's gonna go great for him at Newcomb.
Gansey is a 21 year old college student who is a year behind people his age because he took a gap year after graduating from a posh all-boys school called Algionby Academy. He grew up very white-boy wealthy with his every move being scrutinized and judged, and that's his go-to default when dealing with people. His parents are politicians, and he's been absorbing that garbage from the cradle. But underneath he's a traumatized kid who never got the therapy he needed after having had his heart stop at age ten after accidentally stepping into a hornet's nest. Dealing with his problems by pushing them down and bootstrapping until he breaks is Gansey modus operandi. After his second death he's better about it, but that doesn't mean he's given up on being the Strong One. On the upside, he's getting over his chronic case of rich white boy induced foot-in-mouth syndrome if not his PTSD.
He's an affable person who is great at being friendly without being friends. With some typical PTSD related trust issues, he tends to find people who he feels have some sort of extraordinariness about them that resonates with him and develop those weirdly deep relationships that tend to characterize adolescence for people with Issues. While he's moderate on the surface, when it comes to the few people he cares about, he's very ride or die (pretty literally).
Gansey loves fast cars, old Welsh kings, historical artifacts, and exploration. Old and broken things in general are his jam, whether the breaks are physical, mental, or otherwise. He wants to know things, and gets very fixated to the point of obsession when something that hooks him presents itself. He's patient, he's kind, and he's generous with money and time, but only for things that intrigue him. First, someone's gotta get past his polished veneer of southern rich-boy high society congeniality with all its political plays and subtlety. That's the world he was raised in, with deep and profound relationships only coming later. After his second death, he's embracing the mantra of 'be terrified if you must, but be happy.' That actually is working out for him. He'll be a student of history and participating in at least the theoretical research sections of the time-related shenanigans of Newcomb, because that's his wheelhouse even if his go-to answer is 'magic'. In his own world, he's accidentally one of the foremost experts on ley lines and their magical phenomena through research and experience even though he wasn't one of the people who could tap into most of that power. (What he can do now is a lot more nebulous, given how he was resurrected the second time.)
