MYO-6894: Charon
CHARON
Dedicated - Patient - Grumpy - Protective
".......Ah? That's the wrong one. You need that shed with the green roof; that one has the equipment."
Charon worked as a bodyguard for several clients over several years plus a small number of them being spent on mentoring two young Pride buns before making the difficult decision to retire.
He currently works as a groundskeeper maintaining the grounds at Master Wolfsbane's Estate and has found himself being far happier at his currently occupation as it has given him his flexible schedule that he has craved for long time.
Charon is rather closed-off and a grumpy bun, can often come across as grouchy and melancholic. He prefer to keep professional distance and simply do his business. Very few get to see him with walls somewhat down but only his husband gets Charon in all his glory without any walls up.
Charon also has some chronic pain that his long years as bodyguard has developed and he uses cane on his particular bad days. However very few are aware of that fact - Diego, the farm, and the WolfEstate. Charon also wears eye contacts, prefering to wear eyeglasses when he's far more comfortable and lounging about which only Diego gets to see.

Design Notes
Honestly, when I saw Sweetroll open her mystery designs thread I did not even think of it; I just searched for something interest to throw at her and I came across a particular gloomy dark moodboard that had me loving it. I originally requested just Mushrooms and Skeletal because it fit the theme; ended up loving the design itself!. However few weeks later I asked her for Perky Ear when she went in to clean it up for ML usage.
I JUST KNEW I had to get the doll as a masc one. It fit the bun vibes so much. When I asked Skullyarrd to do the doll, I requested unkempt, messy, melancholy, grouchy, dry sense of humour & a doll who liked to garden/grave dig. She nailed him perfectly! Even gave him body hair and freckles!!

Relationships
"You're hiding your pretty face behind your beautiful hair from me again, my darling stallion...."
Charon met Diego while he was on a bodyguard gig with a client who was trying to hook up with Diego. After witnessing his client specularly crashed with failure to successfully come to a compromise with Diego in the anticipated hook up, Charon was intrigued by the shorter more reserved Greed. After his gig was over with and he had been paid handsomely, Charon went on a hunt for Diego and was quite relieved that the other Greed had stuck around in the area. After a rather enjoyable evening, they exchanged numbers and began to hook up more frequently.
When Charon realized he had began to catch feelings, he made a proposition that they go on outings and dates together to get to know each other better as well. That eventually later led to a relationship after lot of self reflection on both parts regarding Charon's at-the-time line of work. After many arguments that took both mentally and emotionally toll on them, Charon made the decision to retire.
They later got married in secret and it is not a well known information. Charon lives with Diego part time at the Retina Ranch when he's not busy at WolfEstate and adores his beloved husband so much. Diego has done so much for Charon and Charon cannot imagine life nor his world without Diego in it.
"Thank you for the compliments on the gardens, Master Wolfsbane. We have several more plants planned."
Charon had been out of a steady job for a while when he had somehow come across the news that Wolfsbane was searching for a groundskeeper for his estate. Charon had attempted to look into more information but had found barebones and decided to apply anyways. Everything had gone well and Charon had been taken on board.
At first it had been somewhat difficult to shake off his old bodyguard habits during the events Wolfsbane would host but Charon soon found his groove at the estate and settled in nicely. He has his own personal quarters and his schedule made to his own liking as long as he showed up for mealtimes properly cleaned up. Not to mention the general understanding regarding his health limitations. This allowed Charon to ditch his proper attire for more relaxed set suitable for working around the property and getting dirty.
Charon has grown quite fond of Wolfsbane through the few years of employment and now often run errands for the estate whenever he's gone off the property. He frequently watch out for the young master especially during his grand events and Charon highly appreciates having a more stable and safer employment.
"Hello Mister Brandy. You would be correct that I'm here for business reasons. Here is the list of the red wines that Master Wolfsbane wants to order."
Charon was not going to admit to anyone but he had actually heard of Mr. Brandy and his The Envious Wines prior to his employment at WolfEstate; and was rather initially wary of the reputation Casque held especially toward other Pride Buns. Charon got the impression that he would not enjoy dealing business with the Envy.
When Master Wolfsbane had made the decision to obtain a small selection of red wines and invite Casque to attend a ball, Charon had been surprised and intrigued. He was quite pleased to have been proven wrong in his early impressions especially since he found the Envy to be rather respectful and his relationships with others around him to be highly amusing.
Nowdays Charon stop every other weekend or so to check in on Casque, place order for the WolfEstate and to inform him of any upcoming events. He also likes to purchase few single bottles of wine for himself to enjoy; and has brought along his partner for Casque's liquor.
"That area has too many roses already, Graves. We do not need to add anymore. Dahlias will be excellent complimenting flowers to the roses that are already there."

"Please take care, Lucien and do not hesitate to call or text for anything not just for emergencies"
Charon took Lucien and Antediluvian on as bodyguard students because they both had promise especially Lucien with his more quieter and piliant nature. Charon was oblivious to Lucien's codependency issues early on and only realized far later far too late. Charon paid more attention to Lucien as he was a far quicker learner compared to Antediluvian. He was also very aware of Lucien's giantic crush and made subtle attempts to discourage him without outright crushing his feelings as Charon honestly saw no harm in a little puppy crush.
They lost touch shortly after Charon retired from the lne of work and Lucien got busier. Then Charon got a call to help Lucien out of a bad situation. Finding out that he had been partially responsible for several of complexes in both of his students and their relationship fracture had been crushing.
The pair are now on awkward terms and occasionally talk but Lucien keeps him at an arm's length and Charon does not feel it appropriate to try and mend things.
"You will not touch a single shard of grass nor gravel on this property again. Scram, Antediluvian and remove him from your mind permanently"
