âââââ- âNO.  NYET.  NEI. â furrowed  brows  & the  crunching  of  paper  in  his  fist â before  itâs  shot  across  the  room  at  his  source  of  distress.  â  DONâT  TOUCH !!  â
eyes narrowed at the person in front of him, before he looked down to survey the piece of crumbled up paper. âi was going to ask if you were okay - but i think itâs safe to assume youâre not.â
      â â it was a SMALL building fire , not a big deal . iâve done worse . â a gruff sigh followed by the quick motion of dusting off his forearms , ash crumbling off the hellbreakerâs jacket . accents of smoke clung to his frame .Â
declan shrugged his shoulders at the others response. âjust wanted to let you know there has been talk around the jail and they have more cops working the case. donât want our leader getting arrested on us, yâknow?â
âoh come on, itâs not that bad,â declan replied. he could see why the other thought that. for the longest time, after everything in his past he had thought this place was a nightmare as well, but things were looking up for him - at least for right now. âitâs all about what you make of it.â
⧠ben barnes. + cismale. + he/him + corrections officer.âwelcome to crystalline city declan gilmore - or should we call you after shock? it doesnât matter , everyone knows youâre a chaotic evil and youâve been affiliated with the league of villains. hold on - you have seismokinesis? interesting ⊠we hear youâre observant , but also tend to be impulsive . are all thirty-two year olds like that these days ? weâll be keeping an eye on you . ăąempty liquor bottles, shattered glass, motorcycles .Â
hey all, iâm ruby and this is my son declan. heâs an asshole, but he means well. iâm always up for plotting and interacting so feel free to give this post a like and i will message you. :)
INTRO:
tw: alcoholism, abuse
declan grew up in a broken home, with a father who was always working and a mother who loved the bottle more than her own children.
with two brothers and one sister, declan was the youngest of four kids.
a sweet and lovable kid, he was the target of one of his older brotherâs teasing and torment. declan never understood why he had singled him out, but as he grew older he wondered if his brother was trying to make him just as miserable as he was. Â
not even his two other siblings standing up for him helped, at times it actually made it worse. so instead, declan asked his other brother to teach him how to fight and eventually he was able to stand up for himself.Â
as they grew older, the siblings drifted apart and declan retreated in on himself. even while sweet and lovable, he was a shy kid and it was hard for him to make friends.Â
so he spent most of his time at home, reading and playing video games.
one night when his mother thought no one was home, declan would discover that she was cheating on his father. the two got into an argument which resulted in her hitting him. she tried to apologize, but the damage had already been done. he wasnât sure what had happened, one second his mother and boyfriend were standing there and the next they were falling through the cracks that had started to open on the floor
knowing he had somehow caused the earthquake and that his mom and her new boyfriend were dead, declan was quick to pack a bag and flee from his home. he didnât want to stick around to know what would happen if his family found out what he had done.Â
unfortunately he couldnât run fast enough, and his not so lovable older brother was the first to catch up with him. the two started to argue and declan begged him not to start a fight, not wanting to hurt him. of course his brother didnât listen.
the two started to fight, and it turned out his brother had been hiding his own abilities from the family. declan was beaten within an inch of his life before police finally showed up. when they did, his brother fled the scene leaving him to explain what had happened when he finally woke up. he blamed his brother for his mother and her boyfriends death and told police that he had confronted him about it only for the two of them to get into a fight.
it wasnât hard to convince to the cops that his brother was the cause of everything; after all declan was the sweet and quiet gilmore kid. he wouldnât even harm a fly.
his brother was arrested and put in jail, and to his surprise declan felt nothing but relief.
over the years, declan would continue to learn how to use his abilities but he kept them hidden from the rest of his family.Â
while away at college, declan would receive a phone call that would change his life. his father and the brother he got along with were brutally murdered. his sister; who was returning home from college, ended up calling him to tell him that there was a note left behind threatening her life if he didnât turn himself over to a group of people he had never heard of who were hunting people with abilities.
he assumed his brother in jail had set him up, given the fact that he was the only other person who knew about his abilities. he of course didnât turn himself in.Â
instead he found a group of people who also had abilities, who helped his sister go into hiding.
since that day, declan has been hunting down the people who killed his family to get revenge.
currently he is working as a corrections officer at the jail his brother is detained in. the two have yet to run into one another, but heâs not sure what will happen when they do.
CONNECTIONS
family: declan has two siblings still alive; his sister who is still in hiding and his brother who is currently in jail. i would love if someone picked them up, or even other relatives.Â
friends: he was shy as a kid, but over the years he has come out of his shell. this could be a newly made friend or someone from college.
a love interest: someone who has found their way into declanâs heart. they can be any gender, however - i only ship with muns over 21+ given that i am 27.
enemies: people that declan just canât get a long with. they can be people from his past, or his years at college, even the people who hunted his family down.
anything really: if you have a connection idea, throw it at me. iâd love to plot!
Tell you what, Bill. I think about the shit you went through, I just⊠I was one of these kids. Never stopped to think about how lucky I was, you know. The old man was at every single game I played at. Every single one. You know, I wish youâŠ
