.:Name:. Avery James Montgomery
.:Nick Name:. Avey, Avey Davey
.:Affiliation:. Arkadia, The Ark
.:Age:. Ten



.:Physical Appearance:.  Avery is a small boy with dark curly brown hair that falls messily around his face. His mother always wants to cut it, but Avery puts it off as long as possible which normally ends with him having to push it out of his face whenever he wants to see clearly. His eyes are large, round and so dark brown they are barely a shade off black with large irises that can only be described as orbs. He has chubby cheeks that dimple when he smiles with a round face that makes him look even younger than he is-- which is ten and a half by the way. He is always in the same brown jacket that was retrieved from Mount Weather. It's a little too big for him, but it reminds him of a coat that his dad used to wear. Despite his wild interests and knack for getting into trouble, his mother keeps him clean and his clothes neat. A defining feature of his has to be his ears. They are a little too big for his tiny head and stick out enough that kids in school used to call him Dumbo... but jokes on them, cause Dumbo can fly.
.:Height:.  4'3"
.:Portrayed by:. Raphael Alejandro



.:Personality:. He is a handful of energy and always looking for the next thing to do. Keeping Avery still is a task that can rarely be handled by even his mother. He does misbehave just as much as any other child his age, but he's never the type of child to act maliciously. On The Ark, he would pick fights with bullies to protect friends and younger kids, much to his mothers dismay. His small stature can't contain his massive personality or chain of interests. Learning has always been something that he enjoys and he learns from watching others. That'll never change. Once, before the death of his father, he would be incredibly reliant on him for guidance and growth, but he's since learned from his mother instead and to some extent believes that because he's the man of the family, he needs to take care of her. He loves odd jobs and helping others on the ground and loves to learn new things. Sometimes his curiosity can get him into trouble though, as he rarely thinks of the consequences of his actions. Because of this, citizens of Arkadia will often indulge his manic need to stay busy, giving him many unofficial titles and jobs across the camp. Some day, he wants to be a guard, like his best friend Bellamy. It's not because he wants to have respect or authority, but instead because he wants to take care of everybody the way that Bellamy does and the way his mother takes care of him. 

.:Special Skills:. Avery is very good at finding thick sticks for roasting food on. He's also very good with animals and enjoys spending time with the horses and helping with the daily animal care. He is stealthy-- after all he needs to be in order to get into the trouble he gets into. He's got a skill for eavesdropping on guards and learning things he may not be allowed to know. Lastly, Avery's small frame is helpful sometimes with mechanics who need tiny hands to get under heavy equipment, especially when they lose things with their big bulky gloves.



.:Birthplace:. The Ark
.:Family:. Avery's mother is a kind and dedicated woman who survived the fall to the ground. She's the only remaining biological family that Avery has. His father passed away shortly before the decent. Since coming to the ground, Bellamy Blake has become a sort of adoptive brother for Avery.

.:Occupation:. Official Fire Stick Gatherer, Kitchen Helper, Honorary Guard, Stable Boy
.:History:.  Avery had a very stable upbringing. Like all Arkers, some days he would go without rations at times, but his parents did everything they could to care for him. He was better off than so many kids on the ark and he knew it somewhere deep down, despite being a little too young to really understand it. His father was a guard on the ship who spent every day protecting the people of the ark, and though Avery knew not many people liked guards, he also knew they were very important in keeping the peace. Sometimes, the other guards would get angry with his dad, as he would often find corruption in the system itself. It didn't earn him, or his family any favors, but he believed the job was an honest one and had to be carried out as such. Often, his job would take up all of his time, leaving very little for Avery and his mother. His mom made sure that was never much of a problem though, and filled his time with books and old movies from the ground whenever she was able to get her hands on them. His favorites were movies about animals, like the lion king and dumbo-- or a bugs life. He always loved the idea of heroic characters.

Shortly before the trip to the ground, Avery's father fell ill. It was bad enough that he was gone within the day. His mother told him that it was the flu, paired with trouble breathing. He'd been working too hard, and just... passed away. It was very difficult for him to understand. It was too sudden, but he became determined to take care of his mother. He knew that she had to miss him just as much as he did. Before they truly had a chance to mourn though, they were heading to the ground. It wasn't anything like he'd imagined. Instead of ships, they went down in the stations-- tied in tight. His mom held him so tightly he thought that she would pop off his head. It was such a scary landing, he still sometimes has nightmares about it. Though, since coming to the ground, Avery has injected himself into the community in Arkadia. He's social, prides himself on knowing everybody and has gotten into all kinds of mild trouble. Grounders continue to be a source of fear, rather than intrigue. Horses, cars and plant life are all new and exciting and things that he has come to enjoy. With so much new space, his mother has had trouble keeping tabs on him, but his friendship with Bellamy Blake has helped keep him out of some trouble.
