DAX LUEDKE
General Personality:
Dax isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. He's extremely gullible and will fall for absolutely anything. He's way too trusting, and people tend to step all over him. He's the type to jump if you say jump, and he barely needs a reason. He can be talked into just about anything.
He's a very caring guy and incredibly giving. He'll go way past the extra mile for any of his friends (or even a stranger), and doesn't ever notice when people have bad intentions. If he was standing in front of a villain, he wouldn't get any vibe but nice off of them. He's also always saying things that aren't exactly bright, and even when he thinks he understands something, he usually doesn't. Books smarts or street smarts, it doesn't matter. He's lacking both.
Surprisingly, he's very coordinated. Dax is good at a lot of things he tries to do physically. He's good at games like pool that involve skill shots, but not so fantastic at ones that take a lot of strategy. If he's playing a sport, he'll never miss a shot. Most people, however, figure this out, and easily trick him into not even taking it.
History:
Fairy Tale History:
When Witt got to Storybrooke, he had completely forgotton who he was. He was given the fake name of Dax Luedke and false memories. Dax was abandoned by his parents when he was only six years old, and only avoided the system when a group of boys told him about an orphanage of sorts where he wouldn't have to deal with the harshness of having to move from home to home. There, he grew up with the bare essentials, but it was enough for him.
When he was old enough, he took a job at Any Given Sundae in order to help pitch in with the money. He tossed about eighty percent of his checks into the place every single time he got paid, more if it were asked of him. In his eyes, the place saved him, and he wanted to make sure it could continue to do so. Since he was useless when it came to helping out with any of the children, he figured it was the least he could do.
Fairy Tale History:
Daxdin never really got the chance to know his parents. His father died when he was very young, and his mother went insane shortly after. Even when Dax pleaded, she refused to go see any doctors. Her condition only worsened. Soon, she found it way too difficult to keep living without her husband and took her own life, leaving her little boy behind.
An orphanage took Daxdin in after that. It wasn't exactly the greatest one. It was run down and old. The woman who ran it quickly took advantage of Dax's gullible nature. He ended up doing all of the cleaning, all of the cooking (only for the kids, because he was terrible at it, and the owner refused to eat it), and was practically the woman's personal slave. The only thing she couldn't manage to get him to do right was to take care of the other children. He was incapable of being strict, and the other children knew how to take advantage of him themselves.
Even though Dax thought it was perfectly reasonable for him to do the lady's bidding, he still wasn't very happy. He often thought about his mother, crying over how he wasn't able to be enough for her. He blames himself for her leaving, thinking that if he would have loved her more (not possible), she wouldn't have left him.
One night, while Dax was up late cleaning up a huge mess that the other children had made, he heard the sound of a flute. Curious, he followed it into the streets and over to what seemed like a party of some sort. That was where he met Peter Pan, leader of the lost boys. It wasn't very hard for Pan to convince Daxdin to follow him to Neverland, even with his worry about the orphanage and how he was going to be letting them down by leaving. He would no longer be able to do the things they needed him to do.
In Neverland, Daxdin quickly gained a nickname like a lot of the boys who wound up there. Making fun of him, the boys began to call him Witt, basically because he didn't have any. Of course, Dax didn't understand quite why he'd gotten the nickname. When a few of the nicer boys tried to explain it to him, he still continued to accept it. He figured, if anything, at least he was fitting in by being given a name at all.
While in Neverland, Witt served Peter Pan, doing everything he asked. As long as Pan never asked him to hurt anyone, he felt like he was always doing the right thing. He believed the best of everyone, which means he believed Pan to be a swell guy. One day, Pan demanded he go search the Enchancted Forest in search of the "True Believer." So, that's just what he did. Witt spent almost three years in the Forest, trying to find him. He went back and forth, reporting to Pan every time he thought he got close (which he thought was a lot even if he was extremely far off). The only thing that really displeased him was the fact that he had been aging a bit while in the Enchanted Forest, but Pan promised him he would find a magical item to stop that from happening, in which he did when his body started to look as though he'd hit his twenties. One day, when Witt had gotten back to the Enchanted Forest from a meeting with Pan, it was put under a curse that demolished his memories and sent him to Storybrooke.
