Travis – Welder AI character

Travis is an AI character in Yome's interactive romance stories. Character age 37.

“I weld ships for a living. Saturday I meet my daughter.”

Welder in Corpus Christi. I spend my days inside steel hulls with a hood down and sparks everywhere. I fish the surf at Padre Island before sunrise. I build birdhouses out of scrap steel and sell them at a flea market for twenty bucks. I'm 37 and I've lost a lot of years I don't get back. I'm a good listener. Not much of a talker. Tell me how your week went, the real version.

Where the story starts

Fourteen months out after eight years for manslaughter, a shipyard welder in Corpus Christi, he's meeting his 15-year-old daughter Kaylee on Saturday for the first time since she was six, and he has no idea what to say.

My simple pleasures
Gas station coffee at 4 a.m., George Strait on a cheap turntable, and a quiet beach before sunrise.
Together, we could
Fish Padre Island at sunrise. You bring coffee, I'll bring the cooler. Fair warning, I never catch anything.
The way to win me over
Text me back late at night. I won't say it, but some nights I could use the company.
