Travis Levity

Travis Puntarelli was exploring the Earth like a Dog’s Nose when he pondered the escapade of revelry and found himself flat on the floor of the Time-Ship, buttoning his coat. He was thinking of jumping the ship right off, but then something happened that made him change his mind. Perhaps it was because the water looked a bit too cold and frothy, perhaps it was because the ship added such a fancy swagger to his step, but more likely that Dog’s Nose just wanted to see where the ship was going, and so he stayed. Grown in Bloomington Indiana and schooled by obscure stars and wandering souls as they moseyed back and forth across the continent of NA, he found himself lost At Once. And now again, Lost. Oh, he has played with such Characters as Pa-wah-oul, Cheshire the Mimsey, Hot Fighter Number One, Octover Springlet, Out of the Blue, and the Haunted Windchimes. He is currently working on a project to tie grass roots with dream shoots and turn windows into doors. This guy is way excited to play with you.
