|name=Ethan Drake

|in-play=yes
|role=Ethan was a nerd growing up - he loved history, played with miniatures and toy armies, and re-enacted famous historical moments. Then high school came along, hormones took over, and he decided that being cool and getting laid were more important. His grades dipped and his attention to school slacked off as all his time went into his after school job that was paying for the restoration of his 'bitchin Camaro'. It was a chick magnet. 

Somewhere along the way he decided college wasn't for him, his family wasn't rich and his grades weren't great anyway. He got a job at the lodge, over 90 miles from home, living on the premises and doing grounds and maintenance work. It was great bachelor living, and he was always sleeping with tourists so relationships didn't drag him down, but he's started to realize that he has no actual future. What's he doing with his life? Is he going to trim trees and fix toilets forever? And deep down he never stopped being a history nerd with a fascination with people. Maybe he should have studied more, got better grades. Maybe it's too late, now. It feels like his years are being wasted and he is losing a grip on his frustration.
|hooks=<br>
* '''Bitchin' Camaro:''' He still has it, and still has a way with the ladies.
* '''Closet Nerd:''' He loves history, sci-fi, pretty much anything. He's smarter than he acts.
* '''Keys:''' He has access to pretty much anywhere on the grounds.
|memento=The Love Letter Lyle wrote to Ethan before having his eye scooped out by Matthew, hanging on the wall in a frame, and a blue swatch watch that belonged to Lyle.
|epilogue=Ethan is in the hospital for two weeks, having had surgery to remove the dead lung tissue from Freak's attack, and re-breaking and resetting his broken hand. When he gets out, he and Colorado go to Lyle's funeral, where he punches Lyle's dad in the face after the ceremony. He and Rado steal his car and drive to track down Ethan's dad. They plant the car in his garage, framing him for the theft, and Colorado beats the crap out of the man wearing a ski mask. An exceptional essay with his application to OU, telling his story of surviving an abusive home and the tragedy at the Lodge, gets him into the school for Fall semester, where he pledges the frat. He receives a check from Lyle's estate which is more money than he's seen in his lifetime, along with a car. He and Rado get a little house with a big yard for Saiph and Bella near campus. He names the car "Milano", after Alyssa. Everything he does from the Lodge on is dedicated to Lyle.

}}
|contacts={{AC
|contact=Rogue3/Lucas
|note=He's become my reason for being. How the hell did that happen? I wasn't even close to wanting a relationship and then all of a sudden the idea of living without him was the worst thing I could think of. The hell?
}}{{AC
|contact=Scholar2/Roen
|note=The Boss. Our relationship is complicated, in that I've always wanted one of some sort with him, and he has treated me like background noise for two years. It cuts deep.
}}{{AC
|contact=Coward2/Jones
|note=The Lodge's shirtless bartender. Uncommonly wise in matters of the heart, while not so much in matters of the head.
}}{{AC
|contact=Penitent1/Reed
|note=When we were in high school, she was way too good for a poor boy like me, but I hit that anyway because she wanted to piss off her parents. Then she caught me banging her friend in the coatroom at a school dance. Which I'd taken her to as my date. Oops. Pretty sure the only hitting she wants to do to me now is a kick to my nads.
}}{{AC
|contact=Creepshow1/Rodriguez
|note=Coolest chick I've ever known. Almost had a threesome but it wasn't meant to be. Still consider her my friend-girl for life, as short as that may end up being.

|desc=Striking blue eyes peer out from a chiseled, smooth face that is riding the border of pretty versus masculine. Ethan looks to be in his early 20s and stands 5'11', 6 foot in his work boots. His dark hair is shoulder length and so perfectly 80s feathered he should be in a hair spray commercial. He's usually in dark blue coveralls, which used to belong to someone named Billy according to the name patch sew on them. When not working, he wears faded jeans with rips in them, metal band t-shirt or Henley and, when it's chilly, a combo of a stolen black trench with a college emblem on it, and a stolen Letterman jacket from some fancy preparatory high school.

|song=When I'm Up (I Can't Get Down) - Great Big Sea
|link=https://youtu.be/f-oC-kNtPTs
|lyrics=I am the fountain of affection
I'm the instrument of joy
And to keep the good times rolling
I'm the boy, I'm the boy,
You know the world could be our oyster,
You just put your trust in me,
Cause we'll keep the good times rolling
Wait and see, wait and see, oh wait and see!


His exhalation, a sweet disintegration.
A few discolorations, then it comes along
Up is why he chooses, the kisses and the bruises
There ain't nothing he refuses, then it comes along
It comes along, and I am lifted, I am lifted, I am lifted!


When I'm up I can't get down
Can't get down, can't get level
When I'm up I can't get down
Get my feet back on the ground
When I'm up I can't get down
