꧁ ( oliver jackson-cohen. cis man. he/his. control & london grammar. ) that’s ESMÉ EVERHART, isn’t it? they’re always hanging around the LICHEN pack, so it’s rare to catch them alone. i heard they’re THIRTY-FIVE years old, and they’re currently a SECURITY PERSONNEL at CRESCENT MOON GUARD SERVICES. when dusk falls, you can usually find them heading home to THE BRONX by PRIVATE CAR. @duskintros
name: esmé everhart. age: 35. date of birth: august 31. species: werewolf ( born ), member of the lichen pack. occupation: security personnel for crescent moon guard services. sexuality: heteromantic heterosexual. hair color: dark brown. eye color: blue. height: 6′3″. build: athletic, fit.
small bits.
the only child of james and cecelia everhart, esmé had a good relationship with his mother - for what he remembers of her. she died when he was very young, though he recalls being the apple of her eye. cecilia made james a softer man, after her passing he erected walls that even esmé could not climb.
james everhart, known well in black-market circles for being a successful gun trader, trained esmé to be his heir - to inherit the empire he painstakingly built from scratch in his youth. as such, esmé was treated like a protegé more than a son. while never mistreated, it was certainly a strained relationship built on the foundations of respect rather than love.
cecilia, a human, was never aware of her husband’s curse. james bore it, having triggered his sometime in his early life with his line of work. esmé triggered his when he was 18. temper getting the better of him in a chaotic moment of self-defense, he beat a classmate to death when they picked a fight. more memorable than taking a life was his father’s disappointment in his rash behavior ---his inability to control himself.
it was a tense three years between esmé learning the truth of his inheritance: what it meant when his father took business on full moon nights, the dark side of the world ... and the loss of the only source if information he had. at 21 years of age esmé lost his father to the hazards of work and was left alone in the world ... not the worst of developments.
he continued his father’s work for a while: running guns in new york city’s black market, racking up more income than he needed ( as a back up, really ) before he dropped from the scene entirely. one day his business was no longer open and available - he had moved on. it coincided with his induction into the lichen pack ---the first real pack he’d come across in new york.
presently esmé works as security personnel for the crescent moon guard services. while he doesn’t really care for the business and circumstances of other supernaturals, he understands there’s money to be made in this niche setting and it’s better than resting back idly on the mass wealth he inherited both from his father’s passing and from the short stint in the same business thereafter.
his loyalties lie entirely with the lin family. aware of other packs in the city, he has little to no interest in their status or members.
possible connections.
clients: mostly catering to the residents of staten island, esmé will also occasionally take private contracts with humans or other species when needed. however he will staunchly never work with hunters. while there’s no personal beef, he finds it redundant to work with the largest threat to the members of his main clientele: the residents of staten island. unlimited.
best friend: he’s not an easy fellow to get along with, but this is someone he can kick back and have a beer with. perhaps opposites attract, perhaps they’re two birds of a feather. either way, this person is esmé’s ride or die. 1/1 nadija vega.
old flame: he fell in love, once. it wasn’t the most spectacular of things, and their parting of ways came with just a bit of bitterness. he doesn’t carry romantic feelings for her anymore, but there is still a sort of fondness there that can only be explained by a connection like theirs. he’d protect them, if need be, but their romance died with the end of their relationship. open to any species but human. 0/1.
slow-burn: perhaps they’re currently enemies. perhaps they work together. whatever the case may be, they see each other rather frequently and it’s a nuisance to esmé, who is all too familiar with the feelings stirring that he’s trying quite hard to stifle. he’s reluctant to allow himself something positive as he believes his life is too chaotic and ---well, he’s not quite one for soft things. -/-.
one-night stands/flings: you know the drill. a momentary fancy, passed once the sun came up. maybe they’ve done that song and dance a couple of times, but it’s in the past. it’s new york city, who doesn’t have a few notches in their bedpost? 1/3 lavani nattar ( mother of his child ).
old business partners/acquaintances: he has a lot of connections to the seedy underbelly of the city. whether your muse and esmé worked together, they simply knew of esmé’s stint in the black market, or favors are still owed one way or the other it up to discussion. but there’s familiarity there, and it can possibly work in the favor of one or the other. james’ name was very well known before he passed, and esmé made waves in his time running guns. 0/5.
