In public social environments he tends to listen and observe more than anything else, and tends to become a person who knows more than he lets on.<br/><br/><strong>PERSONAL HISTORY:</strong><br/>Growing up in Cardiff, Wales, Caron Banes learned two things by the time he was eighteen: he wanted to spend the rest of his life writing and getting laid, and that one of those would be easier than the other. Going on to become a real<em>Oggsford </em>man, he found himself increasingly questioning his sexuality. Social moors dedicated a hetero-normative existence, but that simply wasn't enough for Mr. Banes; he wanted to let go and feel that he was not, indeed, the one in control and under the yoke of responsibility. Furthermore, he found his colleagues continually more interesting in decidedly unacceptable ways.<br/><br/>Thus when he graduated, Caron went where he thought he could be freer-- London. Of course, it wasn't everything he wanted, but it was much better. He made rent and food money by writing ostentatious pieces for daily papers, using his education and gift with rhetoric to write in a pandering way to the proletariat that would come off as supremely intellectual, but was a sham to anyone else. When he had the extra money, after a few years he'd learned the right places and people to know where he could find women who would give him what he wanted: a loss of control. Their services came with a fee, however, and he was still short on money. But when he could not go to them he wrote of them, in private, and eventually he had a whole manuscript. Moving in the circles he did to find Dominatrixes, he also met those with the right connections to publish it: suddenly he was everyone's best friend and favorite customer, and his ribald second volume was met with even more success. Being, of course, smut and pornographic to even mention such things, it had limited circulation-- but it did Caron well enough that when the Golden 20's came around and as he felt he'd outgrown the relatively inadequate homosexual and S&M outlets in London compared to Berlin he knew where he had to go to overcome his writers block.<br/><br/>Thus he moved out of his apartment, sold his furniture, and booked passage to Berlin with half the money he had in the bank with him. Arriving in Friedrichstadt and finding a hotel on the water he quickly arranged a more or less permanent stay in one of the nicer single bed rooms there: all the stories said Friedrichstadt was where the "real action" was, after all, so where else should he be?<br/><br/><br/><strong>GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS:</strong><br/>Caron wants to find a woman (or man) who he can have real romance with, but he cannot make himself commit; he also wants to finish his third novel and see it reach a greater level of success, not only monetarily but as something more than smut.<br/><br/><strong>IMPORTANT PEOPLE AND PLACES:</strong><br/>Hotel Holsteinisches Haus -- his residence, as ostentatious as the articles he wrote to buy bread years earlier.<br/>Café Kreuzberg-- his favourite spot for ice cream or coffee, they have a nice roof terrace besides.<br/>
