Family and friends alike know him as Davey. Nothing else. People who call him "Dave" are usually the ones who are strangers and are trying to become "chummy" with him.

Heterosexual with Sapiosexual tendencies. It's not that he can't learn to love average girls, it's just that he has a taste for those more on the witty side.
Hair Colour
His trademark thick, curly hair is pigmented jet-black. However, his family believes that it is only just a very VERY dark shade of brown.

His eyes are such a deep brown, that most people believe his irises to be black in color.
Height & Weight
Stands at 5'6. Weighs 160 lb.
Distinctive Markings
Besides his hair, there is nothing remotely distinctive about his skin or facial features. If you were to call something about him distinctive, it would probably be his voice. He speaks in a mix of English and American accents, making his dialect rather unique.
Clothing Style
Davey dresses in a such a way that makes people believe he is some sort of grungy, hipster kid. His outfits are a mix of both comfort and style. The clothing he wears is usually darker in tone, but no so dark that he seems like a negative nellie. He has a sunglasses collection, and shows it off during the summer months. Even though he's not one to get fancy, he is a lover of tuxedos and bow ties.
Personality
|{ Free-spirited | Artisan | Overconfident | Socialite | Cunning | Flirtatious }|
Davey is the artist/entertainer of the group. A people person, he is only comfortable in situations where he is around people. A take-charge, hardworking person who can do extraordinarily well under pressure, he's the man to go to whenever you need someone to volunteer for something risky. Davey seems like he has no doubts in his mind, and if he did, he hides that negativity extremely well. Winsome, vivacious, and slightly flirtatious, he's a master at conversations. Because of this, he is somewhat popular around fellow artisans and people of great importance. He may not be an elite himself, but being someone everyone likes to hang around, he can sure as hell party with them.
Speaking of parties, Davey is one of those people who knows where every festivity is going on at any given moment. He knows the names and locations of every club, joint, and popular hang-out spots in town. He's a "good time charlie", as the old folks would call it, and finds nothing more fun than downing some alcohol and not coming back until the wee hours of the morning.
However, even though he has a bright, laid-back reputation and classic charm about him, he's not entirely trusted by everyone. Although he does it very rarely, Davey has been known to use cunning and deceptiveness to get some of the things he wants. Basically, he knows how to get what he wants, even if he has to get his hands dirty for it. People like him for his ability to make fun of those who are pretentious and cocky. However, sometimes he actually is being pretentious and cocky. He's done a lot in his life so far, so his self-esteem is higher than the average joe. His confidence can easily lead to his downfall in many situations. Despite the fact that most down-to-earth people steer clear of him, he doesn't mind, because he's not a part of their crowd anyway. He may have some flaws, but Davey is genuinely a good person. If there's one thing good about him, it's that he gives everyone a chance, and has the tolerance of a saint. (Even though he qualifies as a sinner.)

History
David Jones was born and raised in London, England. He has been a musician practically all of his life. His grandfather taught him how to play the piano when he was six, and from there he learned how to sing in act. Soon his mom was convincing him to audition for West End shows. By the time he was eleven, he had performed in two, and was portraying "Gavroche" in the stage adaptation of Les Misérables. You can say that he made a good amount of money and fame as a child actor.
And then his dad died. It was very sudden - none of the family was prepared for it. Consequentially, Davey's mother wasn't the same. She started to push her children a lot more. David especially felt a lot of pressure, and soon he had crawled into a quiet, stuttering, introverted, self-conscious shell.
Suddenly, the family was selling their apartment and moving to America. It was in the eighth grade that Davey met the group of friends. From them, he learned how to become more confident in himself, and became the "entertainer" of the group. It was around freshman year he started to learn how to play guitar, and began writing songs. He started to perform at open mic nights around town, much to his mother's own dismay. She wanted him to stick to theatre instead of become a starving artist. However, being a free-spirited individual, Davey rejected the rules and boundaries theatre maintained. He did well in school, and is planning to go to Desales University in the fall. He was not supposed to come to the beach house party, but due to recent changes in plans, he is coming as a surprise.
