- this is declyn zeke dubois. he doesn't really have nicknames, which he's kinda sad about, because his first name is so short. one time, someone called him lyn (or lynie) and he hated that because he thought it sounded really girlie
- he is the son of a preacher, abraham dubois, and a second grade teacher, maisie dubois
- declyn has one little sister who he loves so much. her name is hailee and they are such cute siblings, look at these babies. even as smols they were cute. just look at them
- this boy used to be a brace face in middle school and he hated it so much. braces are so annoying and he wanted people to like him but he always talked funny because of them
- alright this babe was born on december twenty-third and was born in juno, alaska. right after his little sister was born, the family moved to idk california or smth? but they go back every year around christmas to visit family
- since a young age, declyn has been very involved in music. he learned how to play piano at age seven and taught himself how to play guitar during his middle school years (and has gotten a lot better). when it comes to him singing, declyn didn't really start singing until tenth grade but LET ME TELL YOU, this boy has a wonderful voice. it has a raspiness to it and it's wonderful okay? like girls were all over him
- sadly for the girls, declyn isn't interested. he identifies as homosexual, homoromantic but just isn't out of the closet. so people assume he's straight and that he is attracted to girls and yadda yadda. the reason he hides it is because his parents are very anti-lgbt+ and declyn knows that if they found out, hell would break loose in the house and he'd probably be kicked out. his father is very religious so he believes that lgbt+ people are going to hell and he's horrible and declyn hates hiding it but knows it's for his own safety
- trust me when i say this, declyn wants to come out more than anything else because he hates the fact that he's lying to everyone. he's lying to a girl that he might be dating to try and hide everything but he can't
- he knows how to ice skate and has been skating since he was a child and plays hockey
- did you know that declyn here has a doppleganger? his name is rosie and they actually became like good friends and it was weird at first but now it's hilarious
- like you can't tell them apart unless they are standing next to each other because rosie is a few inches taller than declyn (which declyn hates more than anything)
- this boy is the sweetest person you will ever meet. he's an angel, his smile is like so great and wonderful and he will do anything to make people happy even if it hurts him
- some key traists: kind, loving, affectionate, naive, doesn't stand up for himself, passive, a bit cheeky, insecure, passionate, driven, talented, dreamer, heart over head, sweetheart, sometimes flirty, lowkey anxious
- for a while, declyn was kinda self-conscious about his voice because he thought he wasn't that good but then, there was a boy hayden who said he liked his voice and deCLYN GOT SO RED IN THE FACE oops, he caught feelings
- one time, a guy was harrassing his sister and, no joke, declyn punched the dude but it kind of backfired because one, he got suspended, and two, he might have broken his hand because he was noodle boyâ„¢ at the time. all you need to know is that nobody is gonna disrespect his sister and get away with it ever

[spoiler=some later hcs]these are all either right before or after he was outted

- for some time before anyone knew declyn was gay, he was in a relationship with hayden and besides the obvious struggles of not being able to say anything, things were good and happy and declyn had someone he didn't have to lie to about who he was
- of course, his parents found out. they already didn't like hayden. well, when they did find out, hell breaks loose and declyn actually ends getting hurt and somehow the two manage to like get out of the house before anything too drastic happens
- well, now declyn is out to everyone and it's such a relief for him and he actually gets to not hide his relationship and it's actually the best thing (but also not because he got kicked out of the house, well not actually. he kinda just left)
- but hey, how he actually like comes out to the school is hella great okay, literally got in front of everyone and serenaded hayden. it was romantic af
- if you thought you were done with angst, you were wrong because have you met me? so, about two months after running away, declyn's dad wrecks havoc on declyn's life by reporting declyn as a runaway to the police. what this meant for declyn is that once the police found him, he'd be returned home because he wasn't legally an adult yet and was a minor. anyways, life got bad. there was a lot of verbal abuse and it sometimes escalated to physical abuse but not that often
- after this, declyn started avoiding hayden partially because his parents made him block hayden on social media and delete his number and all that but also because declyn was embarrassed. nobody really knew what was going on and when they'd ask declyn if they had broken up, he would say yes and it broke him to have to say that
- i don't know if it was ever decided how things actually get better for declyn or declyn and hayden whoops, who knows what will happen
- oh yeah, one time declyn showed up to school with a black eye after this incident and when someone probably hayden tried to help him and ask what was wrong, declyn just didn't say anything and kept walking
