“ probably not. he does have a tendency to overlook some details. ” and he also assumes that gabriel no longer uses the family name anymore, the same way that cas doesn’t where non-professional contexts are concerned, and hasn’t for nearly twelve years. he doesn’t hate gabriel, far from it actually, but he still resents him for leaving him behind as a child, and he isn’t sure the feeling will ever completely go away, given it’s twenty-six years on here and still present, though nowhere near as fore-fronted as it was back then. “ vegas at ffiteen ? how did you even manage that ? ” as far fetched as it is, he really isn’t as surprised as he should be. “ well i don’t need you anymore, but it still would have been nice to have you around. ” need doesn’t really come into it at the end of the day : he doesn’t need gabriel to protect him anymore, he doesn’t need to constantly discuss his high school crushes with him anymore, but he would have liked to have the support from his older sibling during his time in med-school, and had an uncle around for jack while he was growing up. “ but in any case, it’s good to see you now. ”
he’s left castiel with plenty unanswered questions in his lifetime. there’s only so much you can put in a small letter with a sucker taped to it and he has a feeling their parents didn’t make an effort to talk much about him after the incident. they’d probably rather pretend he died than run away. “a greyhound bus, two hundred dollars i stole from mom and dad, and one really good fake I.D.” it wasn’t perfect. he spent most his late teens on the street but as long as no one was trying to look for him he never cared much. he was free to be himself for once in his life. his smile, for the first time since their conversation, falters. strangely, though, it’s not negative. his smile has, since the start, been his protection as he expected some backlash. cas’ words, not quite a forgiveness but better than what he deserves, are a surprise. “yeah...nice to see you’ve made it all grown up, little guy.” even if it was just by a year, castiel would always be his little brother at the end of the day.
tom holland , he/him , 24 / BELPHEGOR has been displaced ! originally from SUPERNATURAL , HE has found himself in new york city , without their memories . he’s currently working as a STUDENT & tends to come across as LAID BACK , CREATIVE , but also SADISTIC , & MANIPULATIVE . we’ll see if their BLOODY FINGERS TAPPING TO AN UPBEAT TUNE, BLOCKY WHITE SUNGLASSES, & PLANS FOR HELL’S DARKEST PARTS personality will be their downfall or their saving grace in these streets .
in canon belphegor was a demon who worked as one of hell’s torturers. he liked his job and even liked hell itself, unlike most demons or anyone, but wanted to climb higher. he wanted to rule hell. he got out when chuck released all the souls in hell and possessed the empty body of jack kline (much to the disgust of castiel and the winchesters) and pretended to assist the winchesters in closing the rift while actually manipulating them. he used castiel to get to lilith’s crook which he attempted to use to absorb the lost souls of hell so he could achieve god - like power. his plan, however, ultimately failed as castiel learned of his intentions and killed him.
there’s a lot open to interpretation about belphegor in supernatural canon, but it is fun to note that in biblical lore he is a prince of hell! and the demon who rules over one of the seven deadly sins: sloth. i like to think he was a notably old demon and, while no alistair, was a well known torturer. maybe was up for the slot of grand master tortuer after alistair’s death but lost the position somehow and has since been very bitter about it.
IN NEW YORK, he’s known as ABEL MASTERS, bel for short, and grew up knowing mostly only the foster system until he was around twelve then was adopted by a wealthy CEO.
while bel is expected to follow in his adopted father’s footsteps and take over the company one day, and he wants to, there are many who doubt him due to his seemingly lazy personality and habits.
he goes out drinking too often, making most his friends by using daddy’s money, and is quite rude and sarcastic to the staff of the company.
he’s majoring in business but, if you asked his professors, his real talent is in his minor: fine art. he’s quite good at a canvas and clearly loves art but has a mindset, drilled into him by his family, that the only way to be happy is to be the most powerful you can be.
bel also has a twin brother, jack, who he was separated from in foster care at an extremely young age. bel hardly remembers jack himself but has records that jack exists. records that, unknown to him, were slightly mishandled along the line. while bel knows of jack’s existence, jack doesn’t known of his.
bel’s made no attempt to reach out to his brother or any of his biological family, content to believe they don’t care about him so he shouldn’t care about them.
“ i’m THE DOCTOR ! sorting out FAIR PLAY throughout the universe ! “
jodie whittaker , she/her , 38 / THE THIRTEENTH DOCTOR has been displaced ! originally from DOCTOR WHO , SHE/THEY has found himself in new york city , without their memories . he’s currently working as a MECHANICAL ENGINEER & tends to come across as OPTIMISITC , INTELLIGENT , but also NONSENSECAL , & SOCIALLY AWKWARD . we’ll see if their PLANET RINGS, SOLUTIONS TO IMPOSSIBLE PUZZELS, A NEW DAY DAWNING ON THE HORIZON personality will be their downfall or their saving grace in these streets .
in canon, the doctor is a time and space traveling alien known as a time lord. they’ve saved earth and other worlds on numerous occasions and with many different faces as, anytime the doctor is killed, they regenerate into a new body and often some slight differences in personality. while all regenerations are the same doctor, they’re also their own person at the same time. this is the thirteenth regeneration of the doctor.
IN NEW YORK, the doctor doesn’t quite exist. instead, there is JOAN SMITH . joan was born in yorkshire and grew up happily with her several adopted brothers: joseph, jacob, john (her twin and the only one biologically related to her), and jack.
she’s always been close to her siblings and they’ve always been strangely in sync with each other
probably because, though she doesn’t realize it yet, they aren’t her brothers at all but her past few previous regenerations finding a way into this new life. joseph being her twelfth, jacob her ninth, john her tenth, and jack her eleventh.
as she remembers now, her family was constantly traveling. they never settled for long but it never affected them all much.
joan excelled in school, always interested in whatever topic she could learn about. she graduated university with flying colors and after already traveling so long she decided to continue. first step was moving out of europe.
new york was the first on the map. she loved the bustling city but only lived here for about a year before moving away. the past nearly ten years she’s been traveling her way around america just because she can, only to end up back in new york again just because she’s such a fan of it.
she’s planning on staying here a little longer than a year this time.
“I do. I love nougat,” Jack answers, accepting the snickers bar with a grin. It’s exciting to have the opportunity to spend time with his uncle, even if he doesn’t know him properly, yet. Castiel’s explained the situation to him, he knows things have been tense between the two of them, but Jack’s never had an uncle before. It’s always just been him and his dad, and until recently, he didn’t even know that he had an uncle. “It’s my favorite. Did dad tell you?” He tears the wrapper and takes a big bite, still grinning from ear to ear.
"it’s actually just one of my favorites, too!” he replies, pulling out the second snickers for himself. he’s not lying completely, it is one of his favorites, but he also had asked cas what sort of candy the kid liked so he’d call it more keeping to the important details. “i like caramel more but the good news is, with snickers, it’s the best of both worlds.” he starts to peal back the wrapper. “besides, i made sure he didn’t tell me much because if i just learned everything about you from your dad how boring would that be? c’mon, lets hear about you from you. what’re you up to these days? got some hobbies?”
while castiel isn’t exactly over the moon to see gabriel again, so to speak, he’s also not going to waste time rehashing a grudge that he’d been carrying for over half of his life by now, he’s older now than he was when he had taken his older brother leaving him behind as a betrayal, and now he understands it better, so there’s no need to act the petty younger brother about it, despite part of him feeling he’s warranted to do so. “ you’re working with sam ? he didn’t tell me you were back. ” not that it’s sam’s business anyway, and not that gabriel’s actually put in the effort to find cas or contact him before this accidental run-in. an unimpressed look as he rolls his eyes. “ it’s dean. ” he corrects, and he’s sure gabriel remembers that ; he must have done with how often a lovestruck teen cas would drone on and on to anyone with the pleasure of his company. “ yeah. sam left for college, but he came back when it was over. ” there goes his idea of letting it go.
“dean, right. anyway, in defense of the big lug, i don’t think sam knows who i am.” he gave a shrug. he never saw the younger winchester as much in the days of their youth and even if he had sam was even younger than cas. childhood memories were fickle. but it wasn’t sam they were truly talking about anymore, especially not with what cas continues to say. it isn’t much, but it is the venom that he was expecting more of with his prodigal son return. gabriel’s smile sticks but thins as his eyes narrow. he sucks his teeth before speaking again. “well, guess that’s where sam and i differ. i didn’t go to college. i was fifteen and went to vegas. figured that by the time that was all over you all didn’t need me much anymore.” or that they didn’t want to see him anymore. or that he would have to see his childhood fears again with his parents. selfish reasons that he didn’t want to admit to.
cas isn’t sure how to feel upon seeing his older brother again, after all it’s been just over twenty-six years since gabriel ran away from home and left him behind with nothing but some candy and a note. growing up, as the time had gone on cas had grown to learn why gabriel had ran away and why he couldn’t have taken a fourteen year old castiel with him, but the resentment he’s had since teenagerhood still lingers despite his new found understand, and it isn’t like he and gabriel have arranged to see each other now ; it’s pure coincidence that they’ve crossed paths here given that cas hadn’t even known gabe was in town. “ gabriel. ” he greets stoically, facial expression topped off with a frown. “ yes. it is. and unexpected. ” a sigh. “ what are you doing here ? ”
there have been times that gabriel has thought about what it may be like seeing his siblings again. usually they were guilt ridden fantasies that ended up unhappily. he was the screw up kid who skipped out on them because he couldn’t take it anymore. why would any one of them want to see him again? as it was, this meeting after so many years with castiel was going rather uneventful to say the least. he wasn’t sure if that was good or bad but he wouldn’t think on it for now. he shrugs. “amazing how things work out. anyhoo! me? i’m off to see a lawyer.” he holds up a brief case momentarily as if it meant anything. “not for me, i just do his dirty work when he needs the deets on people. you might know him, actually! i think he’s related to that scruffy, freckled kid you used to be buddies with. dennis, or whatever.” dean. dean winchester. gabriel submitted to acting detached as panicked defense. “not that i have family chats with him often but, you know, i have snooped on the pics in his office.”
“you like nougat, kiddo?” he’s always got some sort of candy on hand. unhealthy but better than doing drugs, right? it’s bubblegum that he has, usually, but it’s winter so a chocolate bar can hold up in his jacket pocket just fine without melting. “i got an extra snickers just for you. go on.” he holds it out. he has to bond with the child somehow or another. / closed for @ofrunaways feat. jack kline
“first of all, please get better drink selections here, sam. this is embarrassing.” walking around like he owned the place all while standing across from the actual owner. this is just what you get when you know gabriel, though. his lack of shame was simply part of his personality. “second of all i’m finished with my snooping on the jones family for you. expected results? she DOES seem to be an alcoholic behind closed doors. the unexpected result was she’s also cheating on her husband. so that’s a fun dysfunctional family chip to add.” he tosses the cap of the soda then smirks. “you can send the thank you gift basket to me later.” / closed for @starltwake feat. sam winchester
you can really only avoid something in new york for so long. as big as the city was , you’d run into anything you were avoiding if you weren’t careful. it’s not that gabriel didn’t miss his siblings sometimes but the idea of seeing his family as a whole didn’t exactly excite him considering how he left. for the few years he’d been back he’d managed keeping his head down from any novaks but his luck was coming to an end . he shoulder clips someone on the way to sam’s office and faint recognition holds him from apologizing at first. he has to pause, squint, think. the last gabriel had seen his brother they were teens but there’s always been something distinct about that blue eyed stare.
“hey castiel!” a grin spreads across his face. it’s forced in a way that gabriel truly does not what else to do in the situation. he probably, truthfully, should have just kept his head down and kept walking. too late for that now. “---- well this is awkward.” / closed for @heartsfm feat. castiel

matthew gray gubler , he/him , 42 / GABRIEL has been displaced ! originally from SUPERNATURAL , HE has found himself in new york city , without their memories . he’s currently working as a PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR & tends to come across as CLEVER , INDEPENDENT , but also BITTER , & MISCHIEVOUS . we’ll see if their GOLDEN FEATHERS IN HEAVENLY LIGHT , SCATTERED CANDY WRAPPERS , BLASPHEMY BY THE MOST RIGHTEOUS personality will be their downfall or their saving grace in these streets .
hi gabriel’s canon can mostly be summed up by saying that he’s the youngest of heaven’s archangels. as his siblings began to fight and hate one another he couldn’t stand it and eventually ended up running away from heaven. he went into hiding and disguised himself as the trickster god loki until he was discovered by sam and dean and eventually became their ally in the apocolypse.
IN NEW YORK, gabriel was born to the novaks: an extremely conservative and religious family. he hated his parents for years but loved and tried to shield his siblings from the unhealthy parts of the household. he told jokes or played pranks and tricks to distract from the bad and took all the heat for it with a stiff upper lip.
when he was nearing sixteen he couldn’t take it anymore, tired of the fights that blossomed everywhere he turned, and left.
he ran away to vegas with nothing but a hundred dollars and a fake ID to his name and he began to turn his tricks into full blown cons. whether that meant rigging games or tricking people out of their money. when he was 18 he officially changed his name to break off from his family and has since gone by GABRIEL PRATEN.
he turned his skills into being a private investigator where he now cons people to dig up dirt on them for clients. one of his cases from a client brought him to new york a few years ago and the amount of new clients he’s met has convinced him to stay.
is an absolute wreck of a person who eats too many sweets and plays too many pranks. a little mean but loveable.
i can and probably will add more and would love any connections!
