Character Information
Character Name: David Allard
Canon: Eight Days of Luke
Canon-Point: Approximately two years after the end. David has been going to school and living with Astrid when he comes home on breaks. He still sees Luke all the time, and they've become absolute best friends.
Age: Approximately 17
History: Wiki link. David is an average boy with an average life, save for the fact that he's an orphan. He was made to live with his Aunt Dot, Uncle Bernard, Cousin Ronald, and Ronald's wife Astrid, who all treat him horribly and expect him to always be grateful. One evening, after his relatives were particularly awful, David storms out to the backyard where he begins cursing them, making up words as he goes along, not really expecting anything to happen. Instead, his made-up curse sets free a mysterious young man named Luke, who turns out to be Loki, Norse god of mischief and fire. Over the next week, Luke and David become fast friends, and David finds himself wound up in a mystery treasure hunt involving all sorts of Norse deities he never thought could be real. In the end, his awful relatives are driven out of town, except Astrid who turned out not to be too bad after all, and Luke is free from his prison forever.
Personality: David is a bright boy, although it usually takes someone else pointing something out to him before he realizes it. Still, he's clever and able to come up with plans and schemes at the drop of a hat. Perhaps more importantly, he's able to come up with plans B and C when his first plan fails.
He's had a bit of a sad life, with his parents dying and leaving him to be raised by relatives who didn't care about David at all. His parents left him enough money to put him through public (which in England means private and posh) school, and his relations pilfered his money for themselves to boot. The only ally he has in the house is Astrid, who during the first week with Luke is shown to feel almost as much of an outsider as David. Astrid actually picks up on Luke's identity a hair before David puts it all together, further showing how David can be smart and yet slightly oblivious at the same time.
David can be, as most teenagers are, a little self-centered. He's no egotist by a long shot, and even amuses himself by making imaginary contests out of the pity parties his relatives throw trying to get sympathy from each other, but at the same time his world view is very David-centric. At one point Astrid makes mention of David not caring if she gets an awful head[ache], to which David responds that he would care. What he doesn't say is that the only reason he'd care is because when Astrid gets a headache, she's a pain to be around.
David's relatives try so hard to make him feel guilty that he's almost completely managed to ignore the feeling whenever he can. When Luke sets a building on fire just because David said he was bored, David starts to feel a little guilty but pushes the feeling aside fairly well, until he sees two girls trapped on the roof. When his guilt affects other people, he can't ignore it any longer. It's times like this that David feels particularly responsible for Luke, who, as David puts it, "did not operate by the same rules as other people." Because Luke is this ancient thing of chaos and mischief, David takes it upon himself to watch out for him, to make sure no one gets hurt by what he does, and Luke listens to David, so it works out pretty well.
In addition to guilt, David is used to people trying to tell him what to do or trying to threaten him, and he can ignore that as well. The better way to get David to do what you want is to be nice to him rather than try to scare or intimidate him, because that just won't work.
Before Luke, David doesn't really have any other friends to speak of. This is evident when he meets another boy, Alan, and describes him as having "the makings of a real ally." Note that David doesn't think to call Alan a friend, but an ally. He's so unused to having friends that he's stopped looking for them and instead just classifies peers as whether they'll make his life easier or more difficult. Luke is the great exception, because he is so grateful to David for freeing him that he does everything in his considerable power to make David happy, and he succeeds.
Abilities/Powers: David is your average, ordinary teenager, except that he's a bit clever and perhaps more willing than most to suspend disbelief.
Items: A box of matches, a cricket bat and ball
