Personality: Belle is a no nonsense sort of person. She is open to a more flirty and charming side as a siren but she also is nowhere near scared of calling someone out for their behavior and if it covers up something. She is rather fearless and blunt when it comes to telling someone what she thinks of them and their behavior. To those who know her well enough she can be mistaken for cold or uncaring. When she’s not changing her personality to suit the desires of others in order to lure victims she makes a job of seeming as if she’s an immovable force simply so she isn’t taken advantage of. She strongly believes those who are kind and compassionate are weak and will end up getting taken advantage of because of it. Sometimes her blunt and tactless nature can be taken as unusually cruel, however others find her lack of nonsense rather refreshing when being around her. Despite her colder exterior presentation she’s far more morally inclined than most sirens. She has some concept of protecting her love ones but she also believes it’s a kill or be killed world. She just so happens to break to rules of this more than often when it comes to those she’s softer for. Because she often sees love is a weakness she often fights rather desperately for her affection for someone to not come to surface. Sometimes she can be even more crueler to those she cares about for this simple reason to push them away. Belle has a very short span for annoyance and gets irritated relatively quickly.

Biography: Anna was born into a small pod of sirens. They had a tradition among them. The women had two cycles of fertility a year, and they would use this cycle to access their human form and seduce and bed a male. For her pod specifically they would kill the male after mating with them. Her mother’s first cycle she found a human male and mated with him before luring him out to sea and drowning him. Eventually Anna was born from the union. The pod was beyond excited for Anna’s birth. She was the first live born baby they’d had in a long time. She was one step closer from avoiding extinction. However, soon things went back to business as usual and Anna was raised in the same format as most sirens. She was expected to be cold and unrelenting. No mercy was their phrase and motto. Anna didn’t necessarily agree with their way of living. It both drew attention to their species and brought hell upon them more than often than not and truthfully Anna didn’t have the same desire for bloodshed. She frequently told the elders of the pod that they were going extinct because they kept bringing men to the water and that eventually if they didn’t stop their pod would be wiped away because of stupidity and lack of control. They dismissed her as soft-hearted. They said she wasn’t meant to be one of them.Her views didn’t change, even as she shifted away from something of teenage years. They were growing more and more annoyed with her views. Finally things came to a head with her family. She was swimming one day with one of her pod members when they happened upon a boat. The other pod member decided to lure the boat to crashing. However, Anna started to notice that only some of the crew was affected by this. When it became clear that they were going to be caught or killed, Anna decided that she was going to tuck tail and run. She didn’t care about her pod member at the moment. The woman had brought it on herself as far as she was concerned. When she went back to her pod they were absolutely furious. They couldn’t believe that Anna would let such a thing happen to a fellow siren. Anna said she brought it on herself and that she warned them all. They were furious, and while they laid into Anna, she didn’t face any other consequences. Much to her pleasure, they did agree to lay low for a while after everything that had happened. They weren’t off killing randomly. Mostly just strategic attacks. One day, a siren from another pod came to them. She had been outcast from her pod. They agreed to take her in. Anna started to fall in love with her, but she had struggles showing it. She was scared what her pod might think if she did. Anna finally let herself open up to the woman eventually. However it turned out to be one of the bigger mistakes of her life. The woman had been sent as a trap by her pod, her goal was to prove that Anna was weak and dispose of her. The first night after sleeping with her, Anna woke up in the worst pain. She’d been poisoned. And more so yet her entire pod had abandoned her. She made it to land and struggled for days before she finally came out of it. Anna vowed never to return after that. She wouldn’t allow them to make a fool of her again. She wandered earth for the next thirty years, barely going near the water for the longest time. It was easier that way, there was less pain. She adventured, explored. She saw the world. It took her a long time but she eventually found herself falling for someone again. A fae-witch hybrid. Anna didn’t let Elody sway her with her more seductive ways and Elody didn’t let Anna just brush her off. They fell for each other. It took Anna a lot longer to open herself up. Finally, one night they got together. However, the next morning when Anna woke up she was gone without a trace. Anna was furious and angry. She couldn’t believe something like that had happened. But she tried her best to return to life as usual. She went back to travelling and something drew her to Falls Church, little did she know that Elody was there.

Name: Axel Emric Love. Nicknames: N/A. Biological Age: 24. Real Age: 30. Birthday: DD/MM/1988. Star Sign: UTA. Place of Birth: Hell. Current Town: Hell. Sexuality: Heterosexual. Marital Status: Single. Species: Demon. Occupation: N/A. Education: N/A. Faceclaim: Tyler Posey.

Personality: Axel had been granted something that the other two children of Lucifer had not been. He had been given the opportunity to have a positive influence in his life, one that had come without a steep price. He’d been brought up with two views on things, always able to see things from both his motions emotional and compassionate point of view, and from his father’s cold and bitter point of view. It allowed him to become someone who could find the middle ground in things and often arrive at a logical perspective where others could not look past their emotions. However, despite being able to think logically, he’s always weighed more to the compassionate side than anything, though he’s done a remarkable job of concealing it. Axel has a lot of internal turmoil stirring within him, a lot of which has to do with the rejection from both of his parents. In Lucifer, it was outright, he always reminded Axel he was his greatest failure, often suggesting that Blake couldn’t help being useless, but Axel had had a chance for greatness that he denied. And in his mother, he always believed she would be there for him through thick and thin, and that fact wouldn’t be able to be altered so simply, when she left, he was heartbroken. He didn’t leave his room for days until he was forced to. Because of rejection from both parents, he always felt as if he didn’t really have a place in the world, since both of his worlds rejected him. He’s held a deeper insecurity, and when he refused to be emotionally vulnerable with others, or let them in, it was not because he was cold and heartless like his father wanted him to be, or like people expected him to be, it was because he feared letting them in would mean they too would later reject him. He often holds them at an arm’s length not by lying or conniving or acting, but by simply telling them who his father is and letting their own conclusions and judgements frighten them off. Axel is honest, he doesn’t tend to scheme, lie and connive like his brother Jacob and father like to do. Though he does take acts to have to avoid total truths about himself, like his insecurities and what not. Often times, Axel is a quiet observer in the background, not in the same way his brother Blake is, but more so as a way to avoid the crowd rather than fear all the people. Axel stills holds a partial loyalty to his father, and even if he won’t do every evil deed his father asks him, he will do what doesn’t entirely go against his beliefs. More than anything, Axel craves the strength to break free from his father, whether he finds somewhere in Hell or in some other place to get away.

Birth & Infancy: For the longest time, Lucifer maintained his throne in Hell without heirs, without anyone. For him it was even a challenge to allow in lords and higher up demons. He wanted it all to himself. After year upon year in Hell serving The Maker as the perfect, good little son, he wanted something that was his. He became consumed with it. His newly turned demonic nature only made it all the more worse. It became his number one pursuit, no matter how he had to step on to get there. Thousands of years past, and though he had evolved policies to allow in things such as lords and dukes, he had never been willing to have an heir, to risk giving up his throne or losing it to anyone. Because having a child meant having someone to take his place. Yet, those lords he had let in became hungry for power, so much so they were willing to take it from him. It became apparent that if he were to somehow fall, the power would fall to those lords. He knew there was only one way to truly assert his rule.

Instead of risking finding a demon with an agenda in mind, he found a human woman. She was in her twenties. As soon as he showed her the subtlest hint of his powers, she was enamored. He took her back to hell and made her his bride. He held no love for her, for he was the devil, and his ability to love had ended and begun with himself. Her constant preening and fawning stroked his ego, and that he did like. He got her pregnant only two weeks after they wed, with his first heir, a son. When the boy was born, he named him Axel and intended to mold him in his image. Axel was born a full blooded demon, and it wasn’t even apparent one of his parents was a human.

Childhood:

Things did not go as planned. Lucifer had not accounted for his wife’s human nature interfering. The most he had feared was that it may make his children half-breeds. But luckily that had not been the case. However, with Amaya’s heavy involvement, she showed Axel things like love, and goodness. Axel grew up knowing what it was to be compassionate, and kind hearted. Even though his father was always trying to teach him how to be cutthroat and malicious, it never stuck. It never took as Lucifer intended it to, because love he had been shown was stronger. Axel had always been extremely close to his mother. From childhood, he clung to her. He didn’t openly say it, but she was his favorite parent.

Most of his early years were spent in a tug of war between his mother and father. With his father trying to show him to kill, to be cold and learn to rule just as he did. His father had expected him to be clay or putty to be molded and shaped exactly as he was. And his mother had taught him things like honesty, and trust, and kindness. She wanted him to be human. Axel always felt caught in the middle. When he wasn’t doing as his mother wanted, he felt guilty for letting her down, and when he wasn’t doing what his dad wanted, he felt the same guilt, but also felt fear because he knew what came with letting his father down.

The pressure only eased up when Jacob was born. With that however, new pressures and difficulties were born. Axel was no longer stuck between his mother and father as the rope in the tug of war. No, this time his mother was expecting him to help her try to pull his brother in her direction, and his father was fighting tooth and nail to make Jacob into him. Axel was not even allowed to see his brother if he had visited his mother recently, as she was banned from seeing her son. And Lucifer made a constant point of reminding Axel that Jacob was the son he’d wanted, not him.

When Axel was eight, his mother left. She’d just had his little brother Blake when she took off into the night. After all the years of being close with her, he had always assumed that if she left, he’d take him with her. But she didn’t. He was heartbroken by this, and it was the first time he learned to become more shut off from the world in order to protect himself.

Teen Years: Life for Axel as a teenager was just coasting through. He mostly spent time dodging his father who was constantly in some sort of rage. Whether it be because the lords were out of line, or because the prophecy was beginning to come to pass and he couldn’t find a way to stop it no matter how hard he tried to plot and plan. Axel always found his father had a reason for being in a rage, for taking out his anger on him especially. He often took pleasure in blaming Axel for his mother leaving, a fact Axel already wondered himself.

He was taught the things an heir was supposed to be taught, just a hint of his father’s denial that someone who wasn’t part of his bloodline would take over. But he was never taught like Jacob was. No, Jacob was his father’s very pride and joy. Axel might have gotten the backbone, but his brother was taught every in and out. It only furthered his rejection, the feeling that he didn’t seem to belong anywhere at all. Half the time he felt like a wraith, existing in both worlds but having no true ties to either.

Most of his time was spent holed up in the more remote parts of Hell, getting to know those long forgotten by his father. He didn’t fit in with them entirely, but they too had been abandoned by the person they’d put their faith in. It was the closest he ever got to feeling a true kinship with anyone, the closest he got to having a family.

Adult Years: Things were rather chaotic in his early twenties. He was convinced that his father was truly going mad. In fact, he was sure that his father might end up losing his mind entirely. Axel had always been concerned about the mindset of his father, but he’d never seen him quite like this, so entirely insane and paranoid. It was right before they found Blake when Axel decided to press his father in exactly the wrong way.

He had been speaking to some of the people he’d grown closer to in the more remote regions of Hell and they’d been speaking of how Lucifer was planned to sell the land to one of the lords, and let all of them be enslaved. Not wanting that to happen, he confronted his father, tried to convince him to leave the land alone and bring the demons into the fold. His father lost it and beat him for the first time. Axel had grown very used to being rejected by the man, but this was entirely new.

After going back to his room, he swore to himself he’d leave. He had intentions to go gather those people and bring them somewhere else, to earth. He wasn’t going to rot there any longer, and he didn’t want them to either. He had a bag and everything, with every intention to leave. When it was the dead of night, and everything was quiet, he made his way into the halls. And in a split second, it all became chaos.

He was hurried off to a quiet room. For an hour, he was left in the dark until finally his father came to him to announce that Blake had been found, he was home. Axel couldn’t believe it at first, he’d always thought that his brother would be gone for good. But he also knew that someone raised by his mother would be soft, and he could not stomach Hell alone, so he made the decision to stay, leaving the people who’d become his family on their own to save Blake.

Years later, his father had pinpointed the location of the sisters. The shield that had been protecting them from being tracked had let up. He debated trying to go and wipe them out, but knew the means of doing so would be near impossible to find. So instead he hatched a new plan, have one of his sons seduce Delilah, the heir to Hell and trick her into wedding them, and then taking over control from there. At first, much to Axel’s surprise because of their tenuous relations, Lucifer asked him. Axel rejected the idea. And it was quickly passed down to Jacob. With that, the three brothers were sent to Falls Church.

Name: Celia Killip. Nicknames: Ceelie, Lia. Age: 18. Birthday: DD/MM/2002 Star Sign: UTA. Place of Birth: Baltimore, Maryland. Current Town: Falls Church, Virginia. Sexuality: UTA. Marital Status: Single. Species: Fae. Occupation: UTA. Education: High School. Faceclaim: Lili Reinhart.

Personality: Rather quirky, kind of more to herself. Not shy but also an obvious introvert. Kind hearted, rather naive and easily manipulated. (To be expanded upon by the person who plays her).

Biography: Celia wasn’t the result of a brief love affair, unlike her sister Elody. While her father and Elody’s mother had tried to make a go of it they both knew that they weren’t suited for each other and just did the best they could to try and be there for Elody. Celia’s father ended up meeting another fae and they ended up in a relationship. Soon, Celia came along. Things started to go downhill after that. Celia’s mother wasn’t really good at the parenting thing, and she got stressed out having to look after Celia. She wasn’t fit to be a mother, she often said. So she ended up leaving. Celia’s father was heartbroken, and he did his best to balance the life of a single father. It wasn’t easy for him, but he sort of got the hang of it. There was a system and for the first five years or so of her life Celia was well cared for and loved. Something rather horrid happened. Hunters. There were a few everywhere, people who learned about the supernatural. Some could be reasoned with, others believed that any supernatural was the route of all evil. And because of this, more than often they’d kill everything they found. Even a soft species like a fae. They came into her home and her father quickly tucked her into the closet. He sealed a magic circle around her so they would find her and went to face them. She watched as they killed him in cold blood. They were particularly brutal. She could remember the way that her father’s blood seeped across the floor and onto her shoes. He’d told her to stay in the closet, and so she stayed there for three days before she was found. It ended up being by Elody’s mother. She promised that things would be okay and that she wouldn’t end up alone. Despite the fact that things hadn’t worked out, she held no ill will against Celia’s father and decided to take her in. For two years, things were good. Celia had nightmares nonstop, but she was alive at least. And when she’d wake up crying for her father Elody was there. She’d tell her that they had each other, and that everything was going to be okay. When Celia was seven, Elody’s mother was killed by the same hunters who got her father. Celia didn’t watch this, but Elody did. She figured that there was a chance that the hunters were tracking Celia and not the other supernaturals. So she decided that they would leave. Even though they were both rather young she knew that she had to keep them safe. So they went on something of a run, skipping town whenever the small community of supernatural’s they kept tabs on started going missing. They ran from the hunters often and frequently. Celia craved nothing more than normalcy, but she was often so guarded and shielded from things she didn’t really get a taste of it. She didn’t make many friends, didn’t really have the chance to leave an impression of people or vice versa. She didn’t even get to know the other supernaturals around her. More than often it was just her and Elody, something that made her realize just how lonely she felt. Things came to ahead when she was around fifteen, the hunters that had stalked them caught up with them. They found Celia in her school and waited. After school they simply nabbed her and decided to use her as a bait to try and get Elody out as well. So she spent a horrid time captured by them. They didn’t torture her, though she took a few hits for trying to speak. They were truly convinced she was the heights of evil. Eventually she just prayed Elody wouldn’t walk into the trap. She did though. Things got nasty fast. Elody was smart and fast but things were getting rough. Finally, something deep inside Celia snapped. A strong power that washed over the whole room. It even knocked her unconscious. She ended up coming around to find both hunters dead. Elody explained to her that she must have somehow harnessed a darker magic and told her she must never do it again. Because it was finally all over, they went back to Falls Church and they finally had the chance to start over again. Celia finally got the chance to make friends and start to learn about the people around her. She felt happy, but she was always scared she’d simply end up having to move again somehow. At seventeen, she started to learn more about her powers, and a small part of her desperately wanted to call on that dark magic again. The more she studied it, the more she desperately wanted to use it. It came to the point where she started using small dark magic fae spells - a secret she keeps from even Elody.

Name: Emberly Hastens. Nicknames: Ember. Physical Age: 24. Biological Age: 2001. Birthday: DD/MM/18. Star Sign: UTA. Place of Birth: N/A. Current Town: Falls Church. Sexuality: UTA. Marital Status: Single. Species: Death God. Occupation: UTA. Education: UTA. Faceclaim: Willa Fitzgerald.

Personality: The only way to describe Emberly is as the wild card of the Hastens clan. She’s probably one of the hardest to pin down. While her other siblings all shared similar traits and at least seemed to have semi-put together lives she was always the one who just lived in the moment and relished in chaos. She did everything she could, and anything. Often going to school on a whim and picking up a new career over the centuries. She isn’t exactly selfish, but she never felt the need to tote around her immortality as some cage and instead chose to live it up. Emberly does prefer to follow her own desires, even if it costs someone else hurt feelings. She is blunt, and can be rather manipulative when she wants to be. Prone to chaos and the desire for drama in a boring eternal life she’s been known to start wars and rumors on will alone. Ember is rather perceptive of other people and can pick out those who will serve her best but often overlooks them as important to her narrative. Despite this she always did care about her family, even if she mostly only went to them over the centuries when she was in trouble. She was one of the few siblings who openly protested Brett’s marriage to Adelya, and therefore was banned from the children’s lives. Emberly has a rather strong personality that can often switch from one extreme to the next. She’s someone people either love or hate. There isn’t often a middle ground with her, except for within her own family. Like most of the Hastens clan, she has an infamous temper and doesn’t bother keeping a leash on it. She makes her decisions on a whim and rarely ever owns the consequences of them. (Open to be extended upon by the person who plays her)

Biography: Emberly was the youngest of the large Hastens family. Her parents had pretty much seen the end of raising children by the time she came around. Sure, she was still loved, but her parents left it up to their older children to look after the younger ones. She wasn’t neglected by her siblings, but they didn’t necessarily teach her the values of struggle. She was young and cute so they spoiled her, swore she’d never go through any hardships like they had to. They weren’t dirt poor, but in those times they might as well have been. Things they consumed were things they harvested or killed themselves, and their house had been built by their own hands. In the winters, sometimes they were hungrier but Emberly was always given the least of the suffering. Emberly always wished herself outside of the life she lived, she wanted to get out. While her siblings stuck around out of obligation to family, she was always thinking about simply leaving. She loved her family, but she didn’t want to stay in a town that was so dead and boring. She craved something that her family didn’t offer her, adventure and freedom. Emberly had big plans, and she was sure she could make them happen. Years passed and she didn’t find her way out, she was trying to make plans but there were so little opportunities. Then she turned twenty five and a plague of sorts swept through her village. It picked off many members, getting sick with a mysterious ailment. However, aside from her parents she and her siblings were unmarked. They barely had the chance to bury their parents before they were taken by Torryn. At first they were all confused by who he was and what he wanted but them. He wasn’t exactly skilled in tact when it came to his explanation. He informed them he swept that plague through their village and many others in hopes of finding a family strong enough to come out unmarred. He hadn’t so far. He didn’t need weaklings in his experiment. They thought he was a mad man, the same way they did all those who’d swept through and claimed to be men of magic. He gave a few quick demonstrations without bothering to further placate them. Emberly was told he was looking for his replacement of sorts, someone who could take his job from him. He was old and tired of the weight he carried, it was time to purge his powers and pass them onto someone else. Thus he had come up with a way to form them into a creature strong enough to hold the power. Essentially, they were combinations of all species. All but none at once, it was the closest he could get them to becoming as he was. He turned them all. It was a painful process. Emberly remembered what felt like centuries of agony through the process. Finally, she woke up to find she was the last of the siblings to come about. Emberly didn’t understand her new body or new powers, but Torryn taught and guided them all. She ended up becoming infatuated with Torryn, they became something of lovers. However, it didn’t last long. Not when after a century of training Torryn chose Brett over her to take the torch. It wasn’t something she wanted, but when he told her she couldn’t handle it she was furious and flocked away from both him and the rest of her siblings. She spent centuries living it up, creating chaos where she wanted, adventuring to every corner of the earth she sought to. Oftentimes, when she’d find herself in trouble she’d turn to some of her other siblings. At first it was anyone but Brett, but soon old wounds mended and he too would be a crutch for her when she stirred up problems. She was in Italy when she heard that Brett was in love and getting married. Honestly she couldn’t believe it, and she hated Adelya the moment she met her. She didn’t shy away from telling Brett how she felt and Adelya found out and ordered she never be allowed around the children. Furious when Brett chose Adelya over her, she found herself once again spurning him. However, the first time he left and showed up at her door she took him in. Of course he went back to her, which made her hate him all over again. This went on for the duration of his relationship with Adelya. Surprisingly however when they finally split up, Brett fell off the map instead of going to her. After a few years of trying to find him she ended up deciding to go to the root of where his life had been based, Falls Church, Virginia. She thought there was a possibility she’d get clues from his children or find Zander.

Name: Jacob Alarik Love. Nicknames: Jake. Age: 24. Birthday: DD/MM/1993 Star Sign: UTA. Place of Birth: Hell. Current Town: Hell. Sexuality: Heterosexual. Marital Status: Single. Species: Demon. Occupation: N/A. Education: N/A. Faceclaim: Cody Christian.

Personality: Very dark, evil and malicious. His darkness and sadistic nature are not for simple choice but because he was raised to not acknowledge any other way of behaving. He’s got no real concept of emotion, so when he does feel emotions he often ends up frustrated with him. Though he does tend to feel things like amusement, and anger, he was never given the chance to feel or acknowledge love. He prides himself on irritating others. He’s calculating, and perceptive, and knows what points to push in others. Though he can be rather impulsive and brash. A great deal of him has forced his mind to bury memories of killing people he loved, of watching them die. It was always a way to hide the thoughts of love from himself, and to disguise the trauma. Sometimes though, he has vivid dreams of those who died, memories of loving them, and then memories of washing his hands of their blood. He still doesn’t register that these dreams are memories.

Biography: Jacob was the second born son of Amaya and Lucifer. His father had become determined after Axel that he would have a second son, one who was more than capable of handling his throne in his image. He knew Axel was far too soft, holding too much of his mother’s heart. He knew it was too late for him to change, so he decided that a new son was the best way about it. After all, any great King had enough heirs to fuel his kingdom. He was still in denial about the prophecy. No one would come along and take his throne from him. So he had a plan and an idea set out for how he planned to keep this from happening again. He was thrilled when Amaya became pregnant and hovered for months, barely leaving her alone. Finally, when she gave birth he didn’t even let her hold the child for more than a minute before he snatched him away. He wouldn’t have Amaya near the child until he was already shaped. For the first few years, Jacob was forbidden to see his mother. Sometimes he couldn’t even see Axel if Axel was around his mother for an extended period of time. Lucifer was hard wiring the child into being just like him, if it was the last thing he did. Jacob wondered about his mother sometimes, but never voiced such opinions. He was an obedient soldier for his father. When his father said jump, he said how high. And more often than not instead of telling him to jump he told him to kill. From as early as five years old, Jacob was being brought to kill and mutilate. Some demons, some humans. As soon as Jacob grew close to someone, his father would kill them in front of him or make him watch them die. When he was being mothered by a nanny in his early years, he grew attached and eventually Lucifer forced him to kill her. Any friends he made, he was later made to kill and if he failed, he still had to watch them die. Sure, his father never physically laid a hand on him, but there was not one bit of arguing that his father emotionally terrorized him for years. He twisted and broke every bit of humanity he found in Jacob. It was a slow and excruciating process for Jacob. But soon enough it worked, and Jacob turned into something a great deal similar to his father. He wasn’t affected in the slightest when his mother left. He didn’t know her, and it was probably better that way. And even though he was not intended for taking the throne, Jacob studied all the books and scriptures. He learned how to be a king. His father was so far in denial about either having that prophecy dictate who was on the throne, or having a soft hearted weakingly on the throne, so he trained Jacob. He told Jacob that he was always his first choice, that if he had it his way it would be him one day seated on the throne. Lucifer told him he was investing in him, training him himself instead of having a tutor take care of him as he did Axel. As Jacob grew, he was more entitled. He wanted the throne. He was raised to believe it belonged to him, not some woman. Not even Axel. As Lucifer grew more paranoid and sank deeper into insanity and fear, Jacob was the first hand witness. He only grew angry. No person who was not a Love, let alone a woman would steal from him. More than often he begged his father to just go and kill the woman who was one day supposed to gain the throne. When his father finally approached him about going topside, he was elated and overjoyed. Finally he’d get to kill the woman. Then his father revealed that he was to seduce Delilah, the woman meant to take the throne. Jacob thought perhaps this was to weaken her guard. But he felt his first sense of betrayal when Lucifer said they would keep the throne because Jacob would wed Delilah, and take the throne that way. Jacob was curious, but when Lucifer jumped, he said how high. He went to earth with his other brothers.

Personality: Jade is the more balanced and logical of all the siblings. She’s good at setting her emotions aside and listening to every part of a story and deciding what needs to be done for situations. She’s a realist when it comes to things most times. However, sometimes her cynicism leads her to believe the worst of a situation or a person. She’s a true skeptic and always looks for a deeper motive and things. Trusting people has never been her strong suit. She dislikes both her parents but as for her siblings she’s very loyal. Her and Adeline occasionally butt heads because Jade is frequently pointing out how poorly they were all raised however. Jade can be a bit of a troublemaker, mostly because it was the only way she ever really got attention from her parents. They were always distant from her and even though she was in the home of her mother and on the road with her father she raised herself. However, she’s become far more tame in the last year simply because she realized that it wasn’t worth acting out for them. For most people, she makes a fairly quick judgement after meeting them once or twice. And despite her lack of trust for people she’s still rather friendly, she just knows when to keep people at a true distance. Jade is rather stubbornly independent. She’s always hated taking handouts and accepting help for people. She’s grown used to relying on herself, her intelligence and general savvy to get through situations that she doesn’t like to accept the help of others. Whether it comes from living off the income that her father and mother have tucked away into her account or whether it comes from being in a situation and asking her siblings for help.  She makes a habit of relying on herself and only herself.

Biography: Brett leaving and returning to the house was a common thing for the Hastens sibling. They never really knew when he was going to leave or come back. Sometimes there were really big fights, sometimes it was hard to tell one fight from another. By the time most of the siblings could figure things out, the couple was fighting all the time. It took a few years for Brett to stop coming back for Adelya and for the marriage to finally end but eventually it did. No matter how long it took. Some of the children were grateful for it. It meant they didn’t have to deal with the screaming matches down the hallways or the ways sometimes in rage the couple would destroy entire rooms of a house. Others grieved their childhood and had secretly been hoping one day they’d finally work things out. Most knew that such dreams were foolish and that things between the couple would never settle down. Every time they would find each other again things would be good for a few simple days, and then rather quickly it would all change. It was like fire and oil. They’d always blow up, even if it took a minute. Jade wasn’t one of the children who got the chance to adjust to this thing. She was born in a whirlwind. After the divorce happened and some of the children simply just disappeared, unable to deal with everything or perhaps just trying to distance themselves from it. Some stayed, some took sides. It was a rather messy situation for everyone. Despite the divorce, Brett would come back every few months or even years for the kids. He’d see Adeline mostly, and sometimes the twins for the pure fact he was working protection rituals to try and guard them from those who would harm them. However, every now and then he’d see Adelya. More than often it was to pick a fight. Sometimes they’d fight and they’d do what they always did, run off to their various little sanctuaries and sulk to whichever of the children would listen. Other times they had sex. It was hard to tell how it’d all end. Most of the remaining kids knew well enough to vacate the premises though. It was like being around a natural disaster. During one of these fights that led to sex, Jade was created. Brett never even knew Adelya was pregnant, he’d already left before he could find out. Adelya popped out another kid and pawned it off on one of the others to raise, something relatively simple to her. She wasn’t one to take responsibility for her actions, so she had Adeline do it for her. Adeline doted on Jade, by then she’d already lost her daughter and was all too eager to look for a replacement. Jade was given extra attention from Adeline, more than most were. However sometimes it caused scuffles as Jade grew up. She didn’t like that she was more shielded than her siblings. She didn’t like that Adeline’s constant interference meant Adelya barely even had to look at her. She blamed a lot of people for the fact she didn’t get seen by her real parents, and Adeline was one of them. She lashed out and often. She took advantage of her enrollment in a human school to cause mayhem. She barely lifted a finger most times magic wise. Her teachers despised her bad attitude and Adeline was constantly lecturing her about getting into trouble. After she almost burned the school down during a prank gone wrong, her sister quickly covered for her and that’s when Brett finally came back. He decided to take Jade for a while. Jade thought maybe she’d finally get to see her dad. It was exciting. The first few days were great, but soon she realized she’d signed up for a lot of alone time in big empty houses. She barely saw her father, and was bounced back and forth out of different schools. She was never there long enough to make friends and had this big secret looming over her either way. Her dad had been gone for almost a month and she couldn’t take being alone anymore so she ended up calling Adeline to come get her. They’d had a big fight before she’d left but the minute she’d called Adeline didn’t ask any questions, she just went to get her. And so she went home. The troublemaking still kept up, but she slowly started to realize she didn’t need her parents attention, she realized it wasn’t about her to some degree. While sometimes she still felt insecure and even defective, she could logically tell herself it wasn’t her fault, she just happened to have two very selfish parents. She graduated high school. Her grades weren’t exactly perfect, but she passed. Jade could have gone to university but decided she didn’t want to go on the dollar of her father and mother simply because it felt like dirty money, a bribe to make up for the fact she’d been raised by Adeline and herself. So she moved out instead. Adeline didn’t put up a huge fuss, she was busy with her own children anyway. Jade got a small apartment and worked as a waitress, mostly just trying to make her way in life without relying on her family.

Name: Julian Adello. Nicknames: UTA. Physical Age: 26. Biological Age: 33. Birthday: DD/MM/1987. Star Sign: UTA. Place of Birth: Lorain, Ohio. Current Town: Falls Church, Virginia. Sexuality: Heterosexual. Marital Status: Single. Species: Vampire. Occupation: Lawyer. Education: Highschool, Law School. Faceclaim: Chace Crawford.

Personality: Julian comes off as a fairly easy going and laidback guy. He’s always been the type who is charming and gets along with pretty much everyone at first jump. This laid back demeanor often distracts people from the fact that he’s intelligent, perceptive and has a mind like a hawk. He is quick to identify weaknesses and knows how to quickly and effectively neutralize someone. He’s very good at morphing and acting a certain way that he wouldn’t usually act if it’ll let people knock down their walls. It’s one of the things that makes him such an excellent lawyer. He identifies things in people that sometimes they don’t even recognize and uses them. It also made him a very skilled hunter. Julian is a very determined guy, and while he’s more open to changing his mind on things he can still be fairly headstrong and stubborn. Sometimes when he sets his mind on something it’s hard for him to be talked out of such things. Including personal missions and vendettas. He’d do anything if it meant protecting his daughter Rose though, no matter the cost to himself and others.

Biography: Julian’s life started off fairly mundane. It was run of the mill, nothing special ever really happened to him. His parents were middle class. They made enough to live comfortably. They weren’t broke nor were they overly rich but he never really struggled for such things as money. His parents weren’t exciting either, working regular nine to five jobs and having a fairly normal relationship. Honestly, his life was just one big flatline for the first ten years of his life. He went to school, joined sports teams and was raised like any normal kid was. Then shortly after he turned ten things changed. People started turning up dead. Animal attacks they would say. Mauled by something wild. They suspected a mountain lion, or a bear maybe. He didn’t hear a whole lot about it, just saw some news articles and saw some of his classmates absent from his class because one of their parents or family had fallen victim to one of these attacks. As they grew worse the town started imposing a curfew to try and save some lives and at first it seemed to be working. But things quickly grew bad again. One night Julian had been staying at his friends house but had gotten sick so his parents came for him. His parents had gotten out of the car after retrieving him when a woman came out of nowhere. She bit their necks and clawed them up a fair bit. Julian watched it all happen from the car in horror. He knew well enough to try hiding though. Perhaps the woman saw him, he wasn’t sure. But he survived the night. People often told him that he was traumatized, or he’d imagined things to make sense of what he’d seen. They said losing his parents had been so hard that he had to put it into terms he understood. Julian knew the truth. Julian went into the system and started learning some hard lessons of life. Three months after it happened, some hunters came into town and decided to interview him about what he saw. One took pity and told him everything he experienced was very real, and that he should move on with his life. Julian had learned the truth and decided he didn’t want to move on. He wanted to get revenge. So as he got older he trained and got stronger. By the time he had aged out of the foster system he was a full blown hunter, doing just what he had vowed to do and avenge the deaths of his parents. Despite this he tried to make time for a normal life. Being a hunter wasn’t very lucrative so he went to school. It was a struggle balancing both but he managed to get through pre-law, law school and such. He even had a daughter but the woman he was with decided she simply wasn’t cut out to be a mother and wasn’t able to cope with it even if it meant staying with Julian. It left him and Rose alone. She became the center of his world, and even more passionate about destroying the evil that could harm her. One hunt went so utterly wrong though when he ran into a vampire. At first it seemed like a run of the mill hunt. Vampires were his specialty of course. But this vampire was old and strong. She ended up overpowering and instead of killing him, she turned him. He woke up confused and scared, going to a hunter friend. His hunter friend in turn tried to kill him. However, Julian fought him off and made his first kill. He ended up finishing his transition into a vampire when he died. Julian started to slowly realize that not all supernatural creatures were bad. He met other vampires, ones who taught him a more peaceful way of living, and then with them there were even more creatures. His vendetta came directed only at the woman who’d turned him and her family, who he was sure was just as monstrous as he was. So he returned to Falls Church with his daughter, getting a job in the public defender’s office. It was in this town he met his first target, Esme Hastens. He didn’t quite realize what he was in for. What he thought was a family of vampires was nowhere near it. He was at a loss, and he decided to attempt getting to know her in hopes that maybe she’d reveal a weakness. Of course in doing so, he fell in love with her. They got together and he brushed his vendetta aside. He was more than happy to live the rest of his life with her. His daughter got along with hers. When he proposed, she turned him down and admitted it wasn’t what she wanted, leaving him rather alone and unsure of what to do with himself. Though he quickly decided that perhaps taking on his old idea of revenge might be a good idea and finally take down Adelya.

Name: Karina Jefferies. Nicknames: (UTA). Age: 19. Birthday: DD/MM/2001 Star Sign: UTA. Place of Birth: Hell. Current Town: Falls Church, Virginia. Sexuality: UTA. Marital Status: Single. Species: Half-Demon. Occupation: UTA. Education: UTA. Faceclaim: Lucy Hale.

Personality: Definitely has a temper issue and prone nature to lash out. She is rather calculated and intelligent. Karina is definitely someone who has got extensive trust issues and has a hard time holding loyalty to anyone. (To be extended upon by the person who plays her).

Biography: Karina was the first born daughter of Lucifer and the last born daughter of Lucifer. After Amaya had left, Lucifer began to doubt the ability of either Axel or Jacob to take over the throne. He thought that perhaps they might have too much of their mother in them and decided his mistake was picking a human that was pliable. He decided that Amaya had been weak and that he needed a stronger one. A demon was unsuitable, they’d all try to earn power from it. So he went back to earth and searched for someone who was cold, but not chaotic. He wanted his children to share his traits, not to be sloppy and impulsive. Finally he found a woman. She was a serial killer on death row. It was easy enough to convince her to come with him. Not too easy, but after telling her that he could save her life. After months of seducing her, he finally bedded her and got her pregnant. And thus Karina was created. Her mother detested every moment of carrying her. Lucifer feared her running so he brought her back to hell for his child to be born. He desperately hoped for a son. And then Karina was born. There was a great deal of rage when he discovered he had a daughter and not a son. In his rage he killed Karina’s mother and quickly decided to do a way with Karina. Luckily for the young girl, a demon servant took pity on her and swept her away before she could be killed. They brought her topside and put her into the foster care system. The plan was rather half thought as they didn’t even bother to lock Karina’s powers. Karina was just thrust into the system by a demon who thought she was doing something ‘good.’ Karina’s first home was well enough. She wasn’t undergoing neglect or abuse from the beginning. She was looked after as best as anyone could have been asked to be. But of course, then she was small and little and the powers she held within her had yet to develop. When she got to the age of five, her second foster home decided to send her off to a new home to live when they noticed her temper and will. That was the beginning. At first she just fell into homes that were quick to pass her off onto the next. By the time she was seven she had been in ten different homes. They all just said that she was a difficult person and hard to cooperate with. Eventually they put her in a foster home known for churning out results of well mannered young people. Behind closed doors however the means that kept them in line weren’t just love and affection. A lot of abuse happened behind those doors. And Karina, being young, confused, rejected and angry lashed out the worst of them all. Her propensity for chaos and stubborn behavior made her the target of plenty of abuse. Meals were withheld, hits were delved out and there wasn’t a bad word about her foster parents that made the social worker believe her. She stayed there for two years before an affair split the couple she’d been staying with up. She was glad to get out. At first she got a brief break with some relatively quiet foster parents. But eventually her bad grades in school and the frequent visits to the principal’s office had them sending her back as well. The next home was the one where her powers broke out. She was around the right age and beginning to hit puberty. At first the home wasn’t so bad, it didn’t seem at least. It soon became apparent that they preferred the option of emotional terror over physical. As her powers started to grow inside of her she got more rambunctious. It wasn’t as if all demon children were all vulnerable to becoming horrid creatures when left to their own devices. But Karina had a great deal of powers coming from her father and those powers made her a ticking time bomb. As did her situation. Finally, it came to ahead when her foster father was calling her down to the dirt over an incident at school. She had been perfectly justified in punching a boy on the playground area for attempting to do something to her that she hadn’t wanted but he told her she caused a spectacle and it fell on him. She was so angry that when he grabbed her to put her in the basement where they often went to get ‘isolated’, she burst and burned his hand without even touching him. She went back a week later. He was convinced she was a freak of nature. The events kept happening. When she lost control of her mind, those powers came out like an avenging angel. She thought it was god, making up for the horror she’d endured. By the time she was fifteen she got moved into a new foster home. Her foster parent was a single male. He wasn’t the richest but he had a good record of taking even the worst of teenagers, something not a lot of people did. Within three months of living there, there’d been no incidents. Things had gone well. For once, she started to get comfortable. By five months, things grew weird. Her foster father acted more like a boyfriend. He took her to movies, to dinner, bought her all sorts of new outfits, let her stay up past the typical eleven o’clock bedtimes. It happened so slowly she didn’t really notice. One night he made a move on her. She didn’t like it, but she was worried if she didn’t he’d send her back. She’d heard the horror stories from other girls of what happened when they said no. It was her first time, but she knew it was better than the alternative. She wanted to be taken care of. It was tiring, committing herself to pleasing him. She couldn’t date, couldn’t go out with friends or be a normal teenager. One night she got asked out by someone she was attracted to. She didn’t want to say no. So she said yes and when she explained she was going out her foster father got more aggressive than usual. Every other time she had made sure she could take control of the situation but this time she couldn’t. He had the power. She was scared, genuinely and truly. Those powers that had been subdued for so long, tamed like she had been came to life. And just like that he went still on top of her. The coroner claimed cardiac arrest, and she swore she’d never tell what had happened so she just played the part of a sad daughter. She was put in another foster home and aged out of the system. It wasn’t exactly peaceful, she had nowhere to go but made her way, even if she lived on barely a penny. It was while she was working as a waitress when a demon woman walked in and quickly fingered her as one of their kind. Karina hadn’t the sweetest of clues on what was being sad to her. But she had learned not to question things right away, but to listen long enough to learn something from it. It made sense, all those weird power happenings. So after that woman she taught herself some things. She started consuming all information she could on it. She learned how to use her powers and owned them. Karina was nineteen when she learned the truth of herself. She learned a powerful scrying spell that helped her see the events that unfolded at her birth. She was not just any demon, she was Lucifer’s daughter. Karina was furious at him for what he had done, for killing her mother, who albeit was as vile as he was, for ordering that she herself was murdered. So she sought what most did, revenge. And after learning she had three brothers and a certain prophecy she knew the best way to do it. She bided her time and eventually found herself in Falls Church, Virginia.

Name: Matthew Hastens. Nicknames: Matt. Physical Age: 26. Biological Age: 28. Birthday: DD/MM/1992 Star Sign: UTA. Place of Birth: Falls Church, Virginia. Current Town: Falls Church, Virginia. Sexuality: UTA. Marital Status: Widowed. Species: Death God. Occupation: UTA. Education: High School. Faceclaim: Sebastian Stan.

Personality: Once, Matt was a fairly happy and normal person. He wasn’t overly affected by the divorce and fighting of his parents. Sure, it made him strive for things like a home without such drama, but he didn’t find himself traumatized or experiencing trust and abandonment issues. He was just Joe normal really. Without powers he didn’t feel an inflated sense of self so he carried on business like most humans did. However, after the death of his wife, Matt’s become broody, rather quiet and sitting on the sidelines. He doesn’t go out of his way to meet new people or befriend them for the simple fact he feels as if perhaps they’ll end up hurt because of him and his secret. Matt feels a rather intense amount of guilt for what happened to his wife and he keeps it quiet as he feels he doesn’t deserve a reprieve and has to carry it all on his own. Despite his rather sullen nature, he still tries to some degree to look and act like himself as he doesn’t want those around him to know the truth of what happened. Matt struggles a great deal with general depression, even motivation and function. He’s united by one mission that keeps him going, and that’s finding his father so he can bring back his wife. It’s usually what gets him up in the morning. Matt feels a very protective nature over his family but doesn’t believe they have to stay together at all costs and he isn’t scared to admit some of his siblings are just as much a part of the toxicity as his parents. He has the very well known Hastens temper.

Biography: Matt was one of the middle children of the Hastens family. He wasn’t the first, wasn’t the first boy and he simply ended up falling in the state of fairly unimportant. He didn’t have some special curse or power like his younger twin sisters. So at the end of the day when it came down to his already neglectful parents he didn’t exactly fall in the rush of importance. He was just another child. Just like the others, Adeline did a great deal of taking care of him. She was the reason that he was taken care of by the time he was three and his childhood cuteness had worn off when it became stubborn and brazen. However, when it came to even her, he wasn’t the center of attention. Unlike any of his other siblings, he wasn’t showing an obvious sign of powers. He still got a little weak and sluggish if he didn’t get blood on a semi-regular basis but usually he was just a relatively normal sort of person. Because of that he didn’t get the one on one training from his parents or even help from Adeline on controlling his gifts. He simply ended up fading into the background. Sure, he had his brief moments of attention seeking in school like most of the siblings did, but in the end he turned out relatively normal. The only affect his family truly had was the fact he vowed that his family wouldn’t be like that, that his children would never grow up as he did. He vowed that he would get out of the town and be different then them. It fueled him to do better and try harder for everything. He graduated high school with first class honors and got a full ride to a school out of state. So he left. He didn’t really look back or turn around. He was eager to leave behind that life, even if it meant leaving his siblings too. Matt got to live fairly normally, without powers. He simply ended up going to school, experiencing things as most did. Aside from his blood drinking, he was all too content to pretend that he was just like anyone else in his school. He made a point of ignoring what he was, part of why his powers might have taken so long to manifest. During his second year of college, he had sort of become something of a player and ran headfirst into Danielle. She was a headstrong woman, someone who had come from a rather poor background and she had no time for his antics. She wanted to study and become a lawyer. She was quick to call him out on the fact that he lived a privileged life where he didn’t have to worry about money so he could waste his time in university. He knew she was right and so he started cleaning up his act. She still wouldn’t give him the time of day. Finally, after several months he finally convinced her to go on a date with him. It was kind of a disaster, nothing he had planned went right. But at the end of the night they shared a kiss. She ended up going inside and he barely saw her after. Eventually he found her on the quad packing boxes of things. She confessed that she couldn’t afford her tuition and that she had to go work for a while before she came back. Matthew thought there was something entirely unfair about it, so he went to the office and paid the full program she’d enrolled in. He didn’t let anyone find out, he just simply said it was in the name of a university scholarship. He didn’t pester her much anymore because he didn’t want the action to be selfish. Eventually she came to him to cover for her in class because she had something to do. So he went to her class and took notes for her. When she came back from where she’d gone she was sullen. Finally she admitted that her mother had suffered from depression, which furthered into postpartum depression after she was born. When she was five her mother committed suicide and she ended up finding the body. Matt did what he could to help her and they grew closer. He started cleaning up his act more significantly, including taking his classes seriously so he could graduate. They began dating. Things weren’t easy, Danielle suffered from depression like her mother, so Matt was often just doing his best to help her survive the bouts of it. He just wanted her to be okay, and he was willing to give everything to make sure she was. Because he hadn’t shown powers, he decided that he wasn’t going to tell her what he was, hoping that maybe he could just be normal. Eventually, they got married. Things seemed perfect. They both had good careers and while Danielle still struggled she was doing better than ever with some new medication and other factors. Even when Matt’s powers came to the light, he managed to keep them under tabs well enough. Two years later, things started going downhill. Where they’d been going great, Danielle could barely move from bed. She wouldn’t eat, slept restlessly and just became a shell of who she was. She eventually asked him if she could finally meet his family. Somehow it seemed important, but he hadn’t told them about her. She didn’t even know what he was. He told her that they couldn’t. Two weeks later she committed suicide. He came home from work and she was in the bathtub, her wrists had been slit. He tried to revive her, spent an hour desperately using powers he had no clue how to use. It came to the point where he had physically exhausted himself. He called the emergency line and the ambulance tried to revive her as well. There was no point. The light of his life was gone. The autopsy soon revealed she had been pregnant. A month later he nearly drank himself into a coma. He had quit his job, given up on life. The only consistency was calling his father almost every day to try and bring her back. Then he found the suicide note that explain that she had learned she was pregnant and could feel herself getting more and more depressed. She was scared she’d turn out like her mother and knew taking her own life was better than failing her child. Matt blamed himself. Both for not recognizing the signs and not protecting her better. He should have been more careful. Eventually, he used a locating spell to attempt finding his father. Instead it led him to Torryn, who’d only just met his sister Adeline. Matt ended up telling him he needed to find his father and Torryn eventually asked why. When Matt told him Torryn was shocked that Matt had gotten a human pregnant and explained that the pregnancy might have very well caused her worsening depression and suicide. Matt was even more crushed, but when Torryn made a comment about his family and stupidity going together like peas in a pod, he had to know why. Torryn explained that Adeline was refusing her powers to such an extent that it might very well kill her. That was when Matt decided to go home to try and help his elder sister. He decided he wouldn’t tell her of his wife. He wouldn’t tell any of them what had happened while away.

Name: Rhydian-James Foster. Nicknames: Rhys. Biological Age: 18.. Real Age: 18. Birthday: DD/MM/2002. Star Sign: UTA. Place of Birth: Breckenridge, Colorado. Current Town: Falls Church, Virginia. Sexuality: Heterosexual. Marital Status: Single. Species: Human. Occupation: UTA. Education: Incomplete High School. Faceclaim: Thomas Doherty.

Personality: Rhys is a rather outgoing and charming person. He’s bubbly and quick to make friends. He’s known as one of those people who gets along with everybody around him. It’s hard to dislike Rhys, especially when he tries so hard to be kind to others, even extending a hand to those who other popular kids might consider lame. Rhys is laid back, easy to get along with and doesn’t really like making enemies. He tries to avoid conflict. Whether that’s delegating more peaceful solutions or if it’s just avoiding situations that cause conflict. Overall, he holds himself to a high moral standard, which is the result of what happened in his previous school. Because he wasn’t always the type to stick up for the little guy, he’s made a habit of ensuring his behavior is stellar. He mentally shames and punishes himself if he dares step out of line. No person truly busts his case like he does his own. He agonizes and stresses over the little things he does, if they’re unkind or could hurt someone.

Biography: Rhys was the miracle child. His parents had been told in their early twenties that they’d never have children. For as long as they would try, there was no doctor or treatment that could bring the couple a baby of their own blood. They had given up on having one ever. They thought that if the rounds of treatments had not worked or the frequent doctors visits, they should just end their attempts and adopt. It was better than the agonizing attempts for a baby. All those doctor visits and negative attempts had crushed their morale. So they adopted a baby girl who’d been abandoned by her parents at birth. At first she was just a foster but in the end they couldn’t give the girl up and kept her. Only three years after the adoption was finalized, Rhys was born. He was the miracle. He had been sent by angels, or god. His parents worshipped the ground he walked on because of it, sometimes even favoring him over his sister. He was raised spoiled rotten, given everything and anything he wanted. He became entitled and bratty. If he didn’t get what he wanted he threw the biggest tantrums, throwing and hitting things. There wasn’t really anywhere he got discipline too. His parents were just too thankful he was there after so long of trying. So he never knew consequences in his life. In school, he was attractive and he had money. He got along well with the popular crowd and blended in with them rather well. In the city he came from, he was a king, at least in his own little world. Rhys was worshipped at school and there was no shortage of girlfriends for him to weave through. There was no end to shallow connections. In the way he’d been taught, he didn’t have a whole lot of respect for others. And in the end when it came to people trying to get initiated into the teams he was a part of, or even sink into the popular crowd he was practically the leader of the hazing. For him, he did always try to control it to some degree, but he also didn’t stop it when someone else organized hellish things for the pledges to endure. He was just there for the ride, thought that he himself had endured it so they should too. There was one pledge in particular. A geeky lanky kid who wanted in with the football team and appealed to them. They were particularly brutal on him. He took part in a great deal of the hazing, creating various schemes and pranks. He wasn’t the worst, but he participated and turned a blind eye when others did more cruel things. He didn’t notice how depressed the kid they were hazing was gotten. Like with everything else, mum was the word so he kept his mouth shut. When the kid finally killed himself and left a special blame in his note towards Rhys and his friend things changed rather quickly. Rhys could not live with the guilt of what had happened. Not well. His parents were quick to cover and said there was no possible way that he could have really stopped him, but Rhys knew the difference. Suddenly, all those years of being the king of his world did not matter. What mattered was that someone was dead and he’d done nothing to stop it. His friends said that they weren’t to blame, that the boy was just weak but Rhys knew what had happened, and he knew he could have stopped it. His parents grew worried about him. He became depressed, started skipping school. When he failed his twelfth grade, they realized how badly this had affected him. So they decided he needed a fresh start. They went to the town where his sister had been born and moved into a new large house on a more secluded street. The house was more of a fixer upper, but they had inherited plenty of land with their purchase. Rhys made a promise that he would change, that he could not fix things now but he would in this new school. So he became something kinder and more open. He advocated and stuck up for those being bullied and made sure no one felt alone enough to hurt themselves. It was a mission of his. He still participated in football and fell in with a more popular crowd, but it was all to ensure that he could protect those who needed it. Down the street he started taking notice of a particular blonde girl his age down the road. He didn’t get a lot out of her, but he couldn’t help but be interested in how mysteriously she carried herself.

PERSONALITY: Savannah is highly manipulative and cruel. She had a mean streak that in an almost constant. She enjoys asserting control over others due to having none as a child growing up. Despite the strong act, she is extremely insecure about herself and the scars her body still bears. Her emotions are fluid and ever changing. Savannah can become erratic and completely unhinged, though this occurrence is rare anymore as it is other the side effect of too many voices of the promotions that overwhelm her.

BIOGRAPHY: It was dark and stormy the night Savannah came into the word. The Romaro's were shrouded in darkness for what seemed like hours as Penelope labored. Savannah was born first, beautiful. Next came Tessa who was equally lovely. But the parents couldn't help the fear that trickled in, their daughter were dark and they knew then that their children were meant for evil things. Penelope and Charles swore that night they would fix their mistakes.

Growing up Savannah didn't know much else outside the small family home in the country. She and Tessa were often kept on a tight leash and were often beaten of they stepped a toe out of line. They learned to obey and quickly. For Savannah she was the dark to her sisters light, her thoughts often consisted of bitter anger and the desire to harm those who wronged her.

At 13, the twins’ lives were changed forever. Darkness, shadows always seemed to follow them and it was then that they got stronger, darker. What Tessa never knew was that Savannah had a premonition that her parents had witnessed. It was small, she only saw one of their parents prized cows die after giving birth, but all the same they witnessed her powers at work. Her parents were not pleased that their efforts were not successful. That night after dinner, their father dragged them to the storm cellar and chained them up. He left them there for three days. It was the third day when a man broke in hoping to find food and money to steal. He came across the twins, and the girls startled accidentally used part of their powers, nearly suffocating him with their shadows. In his fear he called them devil's spawn and in his haste tried to stab them, but only leaving deep cuts. It was that night that they nearly died for the first time and the night that their powers were activated fully.

Following that fateful night, the girls were often taken to the basement to be whipped or starved. Savannah, with her sisters help, tried to stay optimistic, but it never truly worked. Instead she kept hearing voices in her head, more premonitions that would come to pass. Slowly it began to drive her insane, delirious and desperate for the voices to go away. It was in her madened state that she murdered her parents.

Tessa had been asleep in the far corner when her father came down to torture them again. Savannah had been muttering to herself as the voices whispers grew louder. Her father, angry, went after her first. Savannah while out of it, wasn’t completely gone. The next moments were a blur, but her father was dead. He had been mostly an accident, though she didn’t regret it, but her mother had been a different story. Savannah had willingly and clearly killed her.

As she was standing in the kitchen drenched in blood, she heard people coming and ran, leaving Tessa behind to save herself.

Over the years since she travelled and adapted to the times. Since that night she’s stopped fearing the voices, and learned how to ignore them. She’s everything her species should be. Dark and dangerous. Though mortal. A year after she killed her parents she started searching for ways to gain immortality. She eventually tracked down a vampire she had heard rumors about killing along the east coast. She knew he’d try to kill her, but had faith in her powers and hoped they’d draw him in and make him curious. She was right. For a few months she strung him along before asking him to turn her. And he did. After getting what she wanted she disappeared.

Recently she finished high school and college for the sixth time and had to move and restart again. The only reason she kept attending was to keep herself in a place of power, dominance, over others. She moved to Falls Church, Virginia a small town she had never been to before.

Name: Torryn Brindley. Nicknames: Tor. Biological Age: 25. Real Age: NA. Birthday: Star Sign: Place of Birth: Other Realm. Current Town: Falls Church. Sexuality: Heterosexual. Marital Status: Widowed. Species: Death God. Occupation: Formerly death. Education: NA. Faceclaim: Scott Eastwood.

Personality: On one hand, Torryn can be more cold and impartial. He doesn’t grow particularly attached to most things and learned over the years that sob stories were just that. He didn’t allow himself to fall victim to basic emotions like guilt or pity for the most part. He knew if he did he couldn’t do his job. For a long time, even sometimes still today he runs on autopilot. It’s easier than facing his feelings, or having to face the memories of the souls he’d been responsible for reaping for the longest times. Despite this rather distant demeanor. Most times he still can appear to be warmer. He’s blunt, but there’s a charm in the way he speaks at times, and a personality outside of just being a powerful entity. Torryn desires things like a human existence, and the same ordinary emotional range as those around him, ones that he doesn’t have to deny. But years and years of refusing to give into those feelings he’s always carried has made it hard to let his walls down. Torryn isn’t exactly good with tact. He tells people how it is, makes comments openly and doesn’t hesitate to say exactly what he thinks. Despite his envy of humanity and their freedom, he doesn’t seek to be part of them. He is a loner for the most part, and a lot of times his curiosity isn’t enough to lure him away from his hundreds of acres of farmland. Torryn is rather sarcastic and quick witted in his usual quips. He’s as capable of a verbal spar with just about anyone. With the centuries spent hidden away, Torryn tends to be rather behind on the updates of humanity.

Biography: Torryn was part of an odd species. His species came from another world, and even the words he has been given with human language make it hard to describe. It was like being nothing and everything all at once. The only true emotion he can place to what he was had been hunger. The species he had once been with had been ravenous. They sought to consume other worlds in their own chaos, and they had. Torryn in particular was in the motherland of sorts, where they’d all come from. It was the origin. He had been born there when the seams started ripping. Such a world could no longer contain such powerful beings, with such high volumes. It was clear the worlds they lived in were destroying and with those worlds, the creatures too were dying. Torryn and something akin to his brother were curious one day. There’d been an order not to leave and try to take that world, it wasn’t worth the trouble. But the curiosity got the better of them and the two went through. The first became known all over the world, under hundreds of different names. He could not become corporeal, but instead became the creator, forming the world in an image different from what he had been raised in. And then came the second, who took the shape of a human vessel and would later be known as Torryn Brindley. He became the balancing act, to maintain life and death. He was death in human form. And so from there he created reapers, to help him do the work of taking life when the time was right. Taking life from humans that his brother created, taking life from the animals that walked the earth when their time was up. He and the reapers collected souls, helping them go where they needed to get to. It was not an easy job. His entire life in the other world had been so vicious and brutal, this work did not seem much different. He despised his brother, who had gotten to create and be worshipped, where he was only feared and hated. So he learned how to turn it all off. He learned how to stop those emotions and do his job, because no one else would. However, he ended up falling in love somehow, along the way. She was human. Around the age he appeared, beautiful and fearless. When he went to reap her mother, for some reason she could see him. It was an anomaly, given that she was completely human. But she did not fear him. She understood her mother suffered and knew his work was important. So he took the soul, but he kept coming back for the human woman. Her name was Elizabeth. Eventually, he wed her in a human ceremony, and they lived together. He dictated his job among his reapers for the most part, but still did some work himself. Eventually his wife became pregnant. It was wonderful at first, but as the baby aged, it’s appetite did too. Eventually it drained his wife dry of life, leaving only a sullen shell in its place. He was on a job when it happened, doing runs and collecting soul. He went to collect the souls of a mother and a newborn baby. He was so cold to it that he did not realize the souls he was collecting belonged to his wife and child. He was forced to take them away and after that he vowed he would find a way to escape this life. And so he stayed good to his word. He started searching for his replacement. It took centuries, but he didn’t forget why he had to do it. He released a plague, one that kept only the strongest. But no families survived. One or two survivors here and there, but never a whole family like he wanted. Eventually he found the Hastens siblings. They all survived it except the parents. It was perfect. He turned them into something as close to what he was as they could get in hopes they could contain it. It took almost a century to wait for them to wake up from their transitions, but sure enough they awoke and were almost exactly as he was. They had to be everything and nothing, so he had combined the idea of every species. Soon, their training began. He started to teach and train them all how to use their powers. And eventually even started a brief affair with Emberly. It was an accident, but he was not resistant to lust. Truthfully, for him that was all it was. Lust. They had no real feelings. And he knew she’d never become what he had been. Eventually the choice was obvious. Brett was the only one who could maintain the job. He was the only one who had the right balance of heart and head and could respect the job. And so in a ceremony he transferred his abilities to Brett. He thought it killed him at first, but it worked. He released all the other siblings and found himself a farm, where he decided to live out the rest of eternity. It was a good thing for him, the farm. He enjoyed dealing with animals. They reminded him of his wife because she’d loved them so much. He was at peace with his existence when Adeline Hastens showed up on his farm. She’d been tracking her father, and she’d ran head first into Torryn. He couldn’t believe it. She was stubborn and headstrong, more so than the rest of his family. And she sought a mundane life. A part of him took interest in those desires, he had felt similar ones. But also he could tell from her powers. They were strong, stronger than Brett’s even. She would one day be the next death and he knew it was his job to train her. He didn’t expect the resistance he got.

Personality: The one thing Lily had always wanted was to not feel alone and to be loved. This has caused her to accept love from all of the wrong places. Despite wanting to be loved she finds it hard to get close to people mostly because she is scared if she does they will leave her. She tends to use sarcasm and humor to hide what she is feeling. She learned that having emotions such as being sad or angry either made people mad at her or just made people dislike her even more than they already did. However, there are times when she can’t hide her anger and instead tends to lash out at anyone close to her or the cause of her anger. Lily has a very negative view of herself and tends to not believe people when they say they like her for who she is. The years spent living with the Hastings only taught her that she was a mistake and who she was as a person didn’t matter and in return that was how she views herself. It got to the point to where whenever someone hurts her mentally or emotionally she will think she deserves and tries to rationalize that thought process in her mind. She has also always felt jealous of her siblings and their relationship with their parents because she had never had that. Lily had spent years of being ignored by her mother who at times could barely look at her and being the source of Brett’s anger and his resentment of her father. Lily does everything she can to avoid feeling the loss of her daughter because she feels like if she lets it in it will completely consume her, so she pretends it never happened. She tends to avoid talking about anything involving her feelings and if she does it’s usually like she is talking about someone else or she says it in anger. Despite trying to mold herself to please everyone around her there are moments that parts of her personality she can’t mold shine through like her sense of humor or little quirks. There are times when she can be quite stubborn and outspoken however she usually tends to be quiet unless something actually interests her.

Biography: Lily was the product of Adelya’s first affair with Lucas and was the initial cause of Adelya and Brett’s fighting. Her childhood hadn’t been an easy one as she spent parts of it with her mother and Brett and the other part with her father. She spent the better part of her time with her mother and Brett being ignored and at first, she couldn’t comprehend why. Her mother seemed to barely look at her and as for Brett, there had been a coldness to him whenever he had to speak to her. This had left her feeling out of place whenever she was there. It seemed every time Lily went to go stay with her mother and Brett it caused yet another argument between the two of them. Either she was invisible to them or constantly glanced at as they screamed at each other. When she was four it finally became too much for her, the feeling of being completely alone and her mother and Brett’s constant fighting. After one of these fights, her mother had stormed off and left her alone with Brett. She faced him and asked him why they didn’t love her. She had seen them say it to Addy constantly especially Brett, and when it came to her the words were never said and instead she just got them walking away and leaving her alone. The first words out of Brett’s mouth had been because you are a mistake that I could never love. It was the one thing she never forgot and the first time she truly felt alone and unloveable. When Lily was eight she learned the depths of Brett’s hatred towards her. More often than not whenever she would stay with them and was alone with Brett he would take the opportunity to belittle her and make sure she wouldn’t forget that she was a mistake. He hated her just because of who her father was despite her best efforts over the years to try and be perfect. She had tried to do everything she could to be less of a burden and make herself more likable to them. She had thought that if she behaved herself and remained out of their way for the most part that maybe they would start to love her. Lily wanted more than anything to gain their love or at least be viewed as more of a person instead of a situation in their eyes. However, no matter how hard she tried it never seemed to work and she finally snapped. Lily had let her anger get the better of her as Brett rounded on her after an argument with Adelya where he had blamed the entire thing on her. Tired of feeling like nothing and constantly being blamed for Adelya’s actions she finally yelled at him. Before she could even finish what she was saying she had felt the sting that Brett’s hand had left against her face. It was as though he had been waiting for an opportunity to hit her and she had just given it to him. After this anytime she did anything out of line or even seemed to have a bit of an attitude Brett took it as an opportunity to hit her usually where no one could see the bruises and every time he would tell her it was her fault for not behaving herself. Sure Lily had her father but she had always felt like her presence in his life seemed to hinder him. So more often than not when she was a child it seemed like she saw more of the babysitter than she ever did him. He seemed to prefer work and the company of his coworkers over her. He certainly wasn’t around enough to notice how unhappy she was or the toll Brett’s treatment of her took. So she learned that it was easier to pretend everything was good in the moments she did spend with him so that maybe he would want to spend more time with her. Over the years only her elder brother, Kyle, made her feel less alone. Addy was nice enough when Kyle was around but when he wasn’t she was colder to her and tended to blame Lily for her parents fighting and Brett eventually leaving. He was the only person who actually spoke to her like she was an actual person and not just a problem. After one of Adelya and Brett’s arguments that she had been in the middle of he would always make sure she was alright. For years he had been the only person she could talk to that would actually listen and care about what she had to say. Even on occasion, Kyle would defend her to the rest of her siblings although she had made him stop because to her it wasn’t worth it. Plus she didn’t want any of them to be angry with him and instead found it easier to shoulder their dislike of her by herself. Kyle made staying with the Hastings bearable and less awful to the point where she would look forward to seeing him. Kyle’s death when she was thirteen was what finally pushed her over the edge. Even though Brett had been in out of her and her sibling's lives it didn’t seem to make staying there easier. Her mother could still barely look at her and it seemed like Brett leaving made her siblings dislike her even more. Finally, she couldn’t take visiting them anymore and had convinced her father to let her stay with him despite it being time for her to stay there. One of her father’s coworkers, Mark, lived and worked at a branch a few cities away had been staying with them. Despite her father’s constant absence Mark seemed to have time to spend with her. It was the first time she had felt heard since Kyle died and she was desperate to not feel alone so over the next year anytime he would visit she found reasons to constantly be around him. Until the last time, he visited he had offered to take her back with him and he had promised that this way they could spend more time together. Lily had grown attached to him and enjoyed the attention he gave her because she wasn’t invisible anymore. When it came to reasons to stay Lily’s had died a year ago, her other siblings hated her, and her father seemed to never have time for her. Lily decided to go with him and the first year had been the happiest of her life. She wasn’t invisible and he seemed to care about her. Mark always had time for her no matter what else was happening and he always seemed to put her and what she wanted first. No one had ever stopped to even consider that she might want things before. However, things took a darker turn. Mark had finally told her that she needed to do something for him because of how much he had done for her. At this point, she didn’t want to imagine life without him and the attention he gave her so she told him she would do anything. Turned out that anything was sleeping with him whenever he wanted to, and Lily did it because she was scared of being alone again. To her, this was better than returning to her family who for the most part hated her or ending up on the streets. At least with Mark, it was somewhere nice to stay, and for the most part, he gave her anything she wanted and was always there to listen to her. He made her feel wanted which was something new to her that she didn’t want to give up because she didn’t think anyone else could ever care about her. When Lily was around sixteen things with Mark had gotten worse. He had been passed up for a promotion and had begun drinking. The first time he got drunk he had hit her. It reminded her so much of Brett considering Mark had yelled at her and told her to stop being so useless. She tried to convince herself it was different than Mark loved her and that things would get better. Except things didn’t get better instead Mark had gotten even more controlling and violent with her. Until one night Marks had gotten drunk and Lily had tried to cut him off which had ended with him beating her for trying to pour the liquor out in the sink. She had lost consciousness when he had grabbed her arm and flung her away from the sink and she wasn’t able to catch her balance in time and her head hit the corner of the counter. When she finally regained consciousness she was in the hospital. She had a few broken ribs and a concussion. Along with that they informed her she was pregnant, apparently, they had to test for it before using an MRI on her. Not only that but they had contacted her father who had reported her missing two years back. It wasn’t long before she was back home with her father. However, this time she refused to see her mother or any of her siblings. She had decided that it would be easier for everyone if she just stayed away. Despite being back home and her father being around more than ever she found herself missing Mark or at least the version of him that didn't drink. The police had conducted an investigation into him and had arrested him for kidnapping and for his relationship with her. She was conflicted between how she felt about him and how she knew she was supposed to view him after everything. The fact that he could’ve killed her or her child and that he was only using her didn’t fully sink in until she decided to visit him at the jail. He was the first person she told she was pregnant, it hadn’t felt real until that moment. The first thing he tried to get her to do was to have her get an abortion because as long as the child didn’t exist and she said nothing happened to a jury then his sentence may be reduced. It was in that moment she saw him differently and realized he didn’t care about her, because if he did care about her he wouldn’t ask her to get rid of her child. It was also that moment she had made up her mind on what to do about the child. Lily wanted to keep it because maybe she could give it what she never really felt she had love, and a small selfish part of her thought that if anything at least this child would love her. Her feelings for Mark remained conflicted but she knew that the only part of him she had loved had been a lie and it was hard for to accept because it seemed to only affirm what everyone thought of her, that she really was worthless and unlovable. Lily was set in keeping her child and wanted more than anything a chance to raise her kid. She saw it as a chance for a fresh start or at least a chance for her to be a better person and care about someone without the fear they will just leave her. However, everything she had hoped for was destroyed in an instant. Six months into her pregnancy she had gone into labor, despite the efforts to prevent her labor, she had a baby girl. At first, she had been relieved to hear her cry until she saw the look on the doctor's faces as they spoke to each other until finally, they told her that her daughter didn’t have long to live due to an underdeveloped heart. Lily held her daughter as the first and only 2 hours of her life passed. Losing her daughter was a feeling like nothing she had ever felt before. It was like there was a hole in her heart and she couldn’t quite comprehend that what happened was real. It seemed like everyone kept trying to tell her how she felt or that they were so sorry for her loss but she didn’t hear a word of it. Instead, she tried desperately to get someone to bring her daughter back to life. She had even resorted to summoning death know it would mean begging Brett to bring her baby girl back to life, none of it worked and instead all she got was a funeral. It wasn’t long after the funeral that she convinced her father to let her go to New York and attend a program that would help her make up the years of high school she had missed while with Mark. Lily couldn’t stay there, not after everything that had happened. She had hoped that leaving would help her feel something again that wasn’t just an unbearable loss and sadness. She spent the next seven years in New York, after finishing the program she had gotten several dead-end jobs waitressing or bartending. She just tried to keep herself busy and far enough away that she wouldn’t think about her daughter and the years she didn’t get to spend with her. It wasn’t until she got a call from her father saying that he was dying did she even consider going back.

Unavailable Premades

Name: Adeline Avalina Hastens. Nicknames: Addy, Ad, Princess. Biological Age: 22. Real Age: 40. Birthday: August 14th, 1985. Star Sign: Leo. Place of Birth: Falls Church, Virginia. Current Town: Falls Church, Virginia. Sexuality: Heterosexual. Marital Status: Divorced. Species: Death God. Occupation: Entrepreneur. Education: Partial University Education. Faceclaim: Britt Robertson.

Personality: Adeline has always been a caretaker. From the earliest of ages she possessed a strong maternal instinct that drove her to look after others. Even as a small child, she often pretended to be a doctor and would look after her mother while she was pregnant, which was the only real time she ended up being sick, or look after sick animals. Her compassionate side drives her. Even before being put in a big sister type roll, she was driven by her warm and caring nature, the drive to help other beings. It’s lead to her having a more selfless complex. After an entire lifetime of constantly putting others above herself, she doesn’t know how to put herself first. She doesn’t know how to simply do things for her, and the thing that truly drives her is doing things for other people. While it may seem that she has a low self-esteem, she doesn’t often hold the mindset of someone who hates herself. For her it’s more so a fact of not thinking of herself as an option. Though in some factors, she does have an incredibly low self-esteem, such as her belief that she causes death. The initial loss of her children plagued her for years. She is haunted constantly by the idea that she was the reason for losing her child, that something is wrong for her that she couldn’t do the one thing to bring her child into the world safely. Even knowing about the curse has not helped the guilt or the shame, it’s only provided one way for her to not face the guilt. While Adeline was always one for facing problems, both intense emotional and more shallowly calculated problems head on with a clear and more logical mindset, she does tend to use avoidance tactics such as deflection to steer away from people alluding or outright saying that she often uses her caring for other people as a crutch and shield from admitting she never learned how to truly love or care for herself. More than often she’ll shift topics away from anything that grows close to pointing this fact out. In the cases of the previous pregnancy complications, she uses an entirely different tactic, and one that is uncharacteristically harsh for her. She superficially blames magic for the problems she’s experiences, and acts as if it is the reason for all issues within her and her family’s life when in reality, this is simply a way to hold down and bottle her emotions. Adeline doesn’t have a real mean bone in her body. She’s never been malicious, or cruel, she’s always been warm. She is however the most calculating of her sisters. She’s got an incredible intelligence, and tries to force herself as best as she can into a logical way of thinking so she can solve problems, though it’s not always the easiest for her to separate her soft heart from the decisions she makes. She’s naturally got a firm and guiding hand, something that has always had the tendency to put her in a leadership type position. Unlike a lot of her siblings, she has a far more forgiving nature. While she’s capable of holding a grudge or being upset with someone, this usually doesn’t last long and she often forgives them repeatedly, no matter how many mistakes they’ve made in the past – one of the biggest examples of this being her father. She’s not tempered, like the majority of her family, in fact she’s often the one to remain calm and collected in a situation, and while she does go to a panicked state, this often doesn’t result in anger. When she is angry, it is a quiet and icy rage that possesses her. She often is perfectly quiet, and most people only see the calm before the storm until it’s too late.

Background & Birth: Adelya and Brett didn’t start off in the best of ways, but soon antagonism turned into flirtation, allure and curiosity. And from that, a friendship blossomed and that blossoming friendship evolved into love. They were happy, at first, for a time. They wed a few months after being with each other. Everything was often rash and intense with the two of them, their decisions with their marriage and life was no different. About a month after they had gotten married, Adelya discovered she was pregnant with her first child. It came as a shock to both Adelya and Brett, as Adelya was a vampire and it wasn’t expected that she could conceive or carry a child.

Because of this, Brett was always hovering during the pregnancy. Almost every moment, he spent at her bedside, caring for her, checking on the baby to make sure they were both safe. It wasn’t an easy pregnancy, but it wasn’t nearly difficult as some of the other ones Adelya experienced. Finally, after nine months, Adeline was born. She was lucky enough to come into the world at a time where her parents were still very much in love with each other and when they very much loved her. She was greeted with open arms by all her family and the friends of family.

However, her family name turned into a curse. With such great power as her father possessed, and his cruel and hard nature that he’d had before meeting her mother, he’d made many, many enemies. These enemies were all over the world, seething and waiting for a chance at vengeance on him for what he’d done in the past. It was a warlock who decided that Adeline would be the one to pay the cost though. He didn’t think killing Brett or even Adelya would solve his problems, because it would be too quick, too easy. The pain would not be lasting. He knew though, from watching his own family suffer because of Brett’s actions, that the pain of having to watch a loved one in pain would be the only suited punishment for his crimes. And so only a day or two after news reached the warlock that Adeline had been born, he cursed her. The curse was rather simple. He made it so she could bear no child that would not fall to the hands of death. The mark of the curse marred her ankle in a triangular scar. Neither Brett nor Adelya knew what the scar had come from.

Childhood: Unlike the majority of Brett and Adelya’s children, Adeline was born before the fighting began. When all the intensity and rash nature was turned on one another. She got to see something most of her other siblings didn’t get to see – her parents truly loving each other. Things were never quite like they had been in those first five years. They had been a proper family, they’d had love and light. And it had shown in the way that Adeline was raised in those five years. She was doted on by everyone, cared for, even had a best friend, Chris. But she was especially loved by her father. Even after her other children were born, she was always his soft spot.

She was happy, for those five years. And then the fighting started. It was small things at first, disagreements over furniture and clothing and parties to attend. Then it was her father telling her mother she spent too much time partying and drinking with her friends, and her mother telling her father that maybe if he wasn’t running off all the time, consumed by his job as the embodiment of death. It tore her apart to see her parent’s relationship falling and crumbling before her eyes. She often stayed up at night in her bed, listening to them yelling through the walls. More than often she’d try to do damage control, going out of her way to be well-behaved after their fights, if only so she didn’t agitate it. Even though her mother and father had always encouraged her looking out to her siblings, she’d also have the tendency to look after them and do what she could after the fights to make sure they weren’t scared by the fighting.

It only escalated from there. Love turned to possession, hatred and anger. And Adeline was there to watch it. She was there while her parents sought different things to solve problems that they had, as they had more kids in hopes that might repair their broken relationship. Her mother had become completely dependent on her to look after the kids by the time she was eight. It was a big responsibility for someone so young, but it seemed natural to her. Since she thought it might make things better, she kept doing it – kept trying to look after the others in hopes that their family might stay together. Holding her family’s broken bits into one piece became her mission and purpose.

Teen Years: Holding her family together was not a mission she abandoned in her teenage years. Her family came first, no matter one. She put it above everything, even above herself. They were always more important to her. Even though her mother had enrolled her into a human school so she could have a normal education to fall back on as opposed to simple money and riches she would inherit from her father, she barely had time to focus on it. Despite the intelligence she had, she never did her best. She maintained good grades, but they were not by a mark what she could have gotten if she hadn’t been so distracted – if she’d been able to apply and immerse herself in her studies. Even though she was well liked in school, people never got the chance to get truly close to her. All those friends she had were human and she knew they couldn’t know the truth anyway, so she used that divide as an excuse to put her family once more above her personal connection. She even grew apart from Chris, her friend since childhood who knew all the details of her family.

In the craziness of her family drama, her only true escape was her books. She’d often get overwhelmed, and while she didn’t let it break a calm exterior that she’d forced herself to learn, she needed an escape to get away from all the stress her family could bring on. So when all of her responsibilities were handled, she’d bury herself in books. She’d always choose books with character who she could relate too, so if she focused hard enough, for just a little while it could almost be like she was somewhere else for a change. It was the closest she ever really got to doing things for herself.

When she was sixteen, her father left for the first time. Through all the fights, all the arguments and screaming, a part of her never really believed he’d leave. She spent so much time holding her family together, she almost believed she could do it forever, that if she kept trying, if she gave it her all, it would work. It was the crushing of this ideal that led to Adeline taking it the hardest when her father left. She tried to hide it, tried not to show how heartbroken she was when she was looking after her little sister’s and brother’s, or comforting her mother, but at night, when she was alone in her room, she cry for him and plead to the crushing silence for him to return.

It became almost normal, and a lot of the time, Adeline was able to forgive her father for leaving. She was too willing to. Every time he’d come back, she’d let him again, hoping it would mean her family might be whole again. It took her a long time to realize that her father and mother weren’t meant to be forever. It took her a long time to really stand up to him even. It wasn’t until she was eighteen and her younger brother, the second oldest of the family died that she truly lost it at her father, when she didn’t forgive him for leaving. She blamed him for her brother’s death because instead of having been there when he died, to defend him, he had been gone.

Adult Years: Adeline’s duty still lay with her family, even when she’d reached adulthood. She still held a dedication to her siblings, to her mother. Even if her mother was out partying all the time, or messing around with a new boyfriend. She was there. And though she’d tried to be normal, to have something like a college experience, it didn’t work and she only got halfway through her first year. There was one thing that got her away from her family, aside from reading. At least in a way.

Her father had had a vampire friend named Nick Goulding. He’d been around a fair bit growing up, and he was no stranger to her. But a few years before her father had left, there’d been a falling out, so he’d faded away from her family life. When she was eighteen, only a few months after her brother had died, she ended up running into Nick again. He’d left town for a while, but had been coming in for a brief visit. They ended up having dinner and talking. It had been nice, to see the face of someone who didn’t just simply expect her to do something for them.

He left town a week later, but they had spent a few hours together, spread out over that week. That time spent together had been enough for Adeline to be reminded of a small childhood crush she’d had on him, and that it was a lot easier now to fall for his charm in a more serious manner. He returned a few months later, after she’d turned nineteen, this time because he was moving back to town. It gave her a new outlet, one away from her family. He already knew things, knew her father, her mother. She could talk to him or well not talk at all. Sometimes they would just be around each other. Her feelings got serious, and soon it became all too real a fact that she was head over heels in love with him.

It took her two months to gain the courage to tell him, but when she finally did, he admitted he’d been feeling things too, but had been worried it was wrong because of so many things. Despite this, they pursued a relationship. They ended up married rather quickly, just before she turned twenty years old. It was more of a rash decision, but she had been certain that she loved Nick, and he was the one for her at that time. She thought they were soulmates.

Things were okay at first. They were happy. Her attention was still with her family, but he’d become a part of that family, so it was much easier to balance both parts of her life. It started to get more difficult near the end. Things were more complicated. Adeline found out she was pregnant, and Nick realized when she told him he wasn’t ready for the seriousness of the entire thing. It got difficult. Nick started growing distant from her, and Adeline was left to deal with a lot of the pregnancy on her own. She was five months along when Nick told her he’d cheated on her. It broke her heart, but she did what she often did and forgave him. Though what he’d done made her question many things about herself. She only got more depressed and stressed after his confession. At seven months along, she went into early labor. The baby was still born.

Nick ended things with her a week later. She spiraled, falling into a pit of despair. She’d throw herself into anything and everything she could focus on besides the crushing loss of both her husband and child all at once. It was too much for her, and she thought throwing herself into taking care of her family once more was far better than facing the pain of that loss.

A few years passed, and she was obviously facing a serious depression, but still denying it to everyone around her, if they even noticed at all. She ran into Chris once more, her childhood friend. He was just returning from university and he had gotten a job in town. At first, things were stiff. After all she’d been the one who’d built the distance between them at first. But he became the first person she really let herself get close to after losing the baby and Nick. They became friends once more, and he eventually helped her get help, even arranged for her to see a therapist to help her cope with her problems. She got some closure, and even though she didn’t get a complete release from her pain, it was enough for her to start moving on with her life.

A year or two passed, and her friendship with Chris persisted. He was her rock in life, and provided her with a security she hadn’t gotten to experience with many others. She had developed feelings at one point, but had sat on them because of him being in a relationship. Eventually they faded, or she’d pushed them back enough so that they weren’t in the conscious part of her mind. His relationship eventually ended because he and his girlfriend didn’t want the same things – like kids. He talked a lot about having kids, how he thought about seeking out other methods of having a child, such as having a surrogate carry his child. Even though she still mourned for her daughter, she too wanted a child. So she offered to be the mother to his child, for them to raise the child together as friends. He agreed.

After a process of artificial insemination, Adeline found out she was pregnant with not just one child but two. The pregnancy was difficult. She was on constant alert, paranoid and terrified that she might lose her children. Chris was there, for every appointment, every single moment. They grew close, and eventually admitted they had feelings for each other. Even got engaged. However, when she was four months along, she awoke one night bleeding. When she went to the hospital, Chris had her go in the office alone. The doctor informed her she had lost her twins. When she left the office Chris wasn’t there. He’d abandoned her. She called a dozen times, went looking for him over and over. She never found him.

Eight years later, her father returned once more after a very long time. Unlike her usual behavior, she was furious with him. He hadn’t been there, hadn’t held her or soothed her when she’d cried her eyes out every night for months after she’d lost her kids, hadn’t been there to help her through her pain. He’d left her alone so many times, and that finally hit her, even more so than it had when her brother had died. In the process of her anger, she told him why she was so angry. And after her anger had faded into sadness, when the emotion had subsided to normal levels, he told her he could bring her children back.

She was in disbelief at first, because she’d tried herself to use her powers to bring her kids back to no avail. However, when he did it, it worked. Only the twins had to be resurrected within her as they had no solid vessel. It was during the resurrection of the twins they he recognized the curse on his daughter. After some research, he learned the details of the curse and who’d done it, and while he tried to get him to break the curse, it wasn’t possible, but he at least now knew there was a way around it. After he told Adeline about the curse, she officially forgave him for leaving, and found some peace in the life she had to look forward to with her kids. Though, to avoid some of the weight of guilt on her, she found herself blaming magic for the problems within her life, and decided her kids would not have magic in their lives.

Years later, Adeline still lived in her home town with her daughter Kahlia and her twins Audrey and Parker. Most of the time, her life is consumed with being a stay at home mom, though she does make teas and perfumes and sells them out of her home as a hobby.

Name: Blake Kaius Love. Nicknames: N/A. Biological Age: 22 Birthday: DD/MM/1996. Star Sign: UTA. Place of Birth: Hell. Current Town: Hell. Sexuality: Heterosexual. Marital Status: Single. Species: Demon. Occupation: N/A. Education: Incomplete High School. Faceclaim: Dylan O’Brien.

Personality: Blake is the complete opposite of what someone would expect a demon to be. He’s rather shy and introverted. He’s quick to get awkward in interactions with others, fumbling his words. He’s rather kindhearted and compassionate. Unlike most demons he doesn’t seek the harming of others, or destruction or chaos. Mostly he just wants a quiet life away from all the drama that he’s recently been exposed to. Blake is not one whose easily prone to hatred or dislike, but he does despise his father. Despite his rather innocent personality he does tend to be the type who ends up blurting out what he thinks at some point or another, even if it’s not what others want to hear. Blake holds a lot of guilt about what happened to his mother, and he goes out of his way to inform people why control his better than hiding. He is plagued with nightmares and flashbacks and sometimes he just hides from people, fearing that one day he will hurt them too.

Biography: After Jacob, Amaya was terrified of having anymore kids for Lucifer. She barely saw Jacob, and from what she heard, the boy Lucifer was raising was not her son. He was a monster. Tensions were high and Amaya had tried to ban Lucifer from their bedroom. She figured maybe if she held her own chambers and kept quiet he wouldn’t after her for another heir. As long as she kept her head down she hoped she’d never be responsible for bringing another monster into the world. The fog had cleared, and she no longer had any false ideas of who Lucifer was. Eventually, she realized simple bans would not keep him away. From the day she’d known she was pregnant with Blake, she knew she couldn’t let anything happen to him, that she couldn’t let him be contorted into something cruel and evil. So on the day Blake was born, she escaped Lucifer’s castle. She paid a demon to keep quiet about her exit and help her get topside. She had no plan to ever return to hell. Blake had been hidden all of his life. He’d been hidden from his past, from his true nature. His entire identity was kept a secret, even from Blake himself. His mother had found other sources of magic, had gotten them to hide Blake from his father and had also managed to temporarily lock Blake’s powers. Growing up, Blake knew nothing of magic. He didn’t know anything of demons or angels or witches, despite the latter’s interference in his life. He was raised as if he was human. He attended normal school as soon as he was old enough to do so. Though he never was quite good with that. He loved the school aspect, and the learning. From an early age he was incredibly intelligent and knew exactly what he was doing. He was always the top of his class. His mother often told him he was her brilliant boy, something he thought to be the highest praise. With no father in his life, he maintained an incredibly close relationship with his mother. She was the only parent he really had in his life, and he relied on her for everything. He had so few friends, so his mother was also a best friend for him. Blake’s life didn’t change remarkably until he was sixteen. That was when his powers could no longer be hidden, could no longer be held at bay by magic of any sort. He had only been sixteen for a few months when the flood happened, when his powers surged through his body. He was with his mother in their backyard when it happened. The first thing that happened when his powers surged was them snapping out, right at his mother. They killed her in a matter of seconds before he could even know what was happening or how to control them. The only reason more chaos was not caused because as soon as his powers unleashed, they snapped any shields hiding him from his father. His father’s men had him in only a few seconds. If he hadn’t been closed in before, he was now. Killing his mother and being exposed to this whole new life of the supernatural had him becoming much more reserved and depressed even. He didn’t know what to make of his situation or the people that were supposed to be family, and there was always the crushing guilt that weighed on him for what had happened. He became haunted with nightmares. His father was completely disappointed in what had come back to him, he’d expected more from a son of his bloodline, and though he tried to darken him, he quickly realized his son was far too under his mother’s influence. His demeanor didn’t change much over the years. He was still haunted by what happened to his mother, by what he’d done. He never truly made many connections in Hell other than his relations with his brother. Most of his time was spent in his room, reading and trying not to drown in his own guilt. When his father tasked them with going to earth to find Delilah, he was glad for it. He was happy to be free of Hell, and the life he lived there. And he had no intentions of returning when he left.

Name: Crimsyn Novak [Mary Pennell] Nicknames: N/A. Age: 17. Birthday: July 12th, 1968. Star Sign: Cancer. Place of Birth: Goochland, Virginia. Current Town: Falls Church, Virginia. Sexuality: Heterosexual. Marital Status: Single. Species: Demon. Occupation: N/A. Education: N/A. Faceclaim: Dove Cameron.

Personality: Crimsyn is rather soft and gentle at heart. She’s not the type who was made to be hard wired and rebellious. She’s always been compassionate, kind and open-minded. Though, despite her compassionate and friendly soul, she’s incredibly shy. Since dying, she’s held onto most of her personality traits from her life before, even though she doesn’t remember much about her life. However, she’s much more easily frightened and incredibly shy. She tends to be quiet as opposed to outspoken. Crimsyn tends to be very trusting, so after getting over her initial fear, she can often be easily manipulated. Crimsyn is incredibly selfless, and rarely thinks of herself first at all. Most times she’ll put others above her own. At times, especially after “waking up” she tends to be very confused for a few moments.

Biography:

Birth & Infancy: Crimsyn was not the result of a happy union. Her mother was imprisoned for two years on a minor charge brought on by false accusations, and forced to serve out her sentence in what was known to be a difficult and harsh prison facility. During her time there, she went through horrific kinds of torture. She would be locked in solitary for days on end, as well as beaten and tormented by guards and other inmates. The worse however, was a guard in particular who was known for taking what he deemed to be the “pretty” inmates and raping them. He took an interest in Lisa and she became his next victim.

For almost six months, he would attack he any chance he got. And he terrified her more than enough for her to not tell anyone. She was constantly bullied and brutalized by him. Eventually, this led to a pregnancy. After becoming pregnant, she managed to get some break away from the man. She grew stronger, and started to want to tell. But while in her last trimester, she found a pig heart delivered with her lunch with a note. The note entailed exactly what would happen to her and her child if she were to tell. She decided to keep her mouth shut, and eventually gave birth to a little girl, surrendering the child for adoption and not telling the father of the child.

Because her mother had not named her, the system gave her a relatively basic name, Mary. After spending a day in the hospital, she was sent off to live with a foster family. The foster family was decent, but only had interest in looking after smaller children, so as soon as Mary was old enough, she was sent to live with another family.

Childhood: Mary’s life wasn’t exactly easy. She often fell into the hands of neglectful or even abusive foster parents. She rarely ever got to feel any form of love or acceptance. Most times, it was just a matter of waiting for the next foster family to come along. Despite this, she remained hopeful and always wishing for something better. Even with a rather unfortunate life, she always hoped for a better life, and never relinquished the hope despite the horrid things she had experienced.

She went to school often. It was her one reprieve from her shifting home life. She often would find excuses to stay in school for longer than necessary, such as joining clubs that didn’t require money, or staying in the library to do homework. She didn’t have a great deal of friends, but she cherished the friends that she did have, even if she was rarely ever allowed to spend time with them outside of school.

Teen Years: At twelve years old, Mary was moved into the home of Ellie Venturi, a single woman who’d lost her own child in a car accident. She was the first experience Mary ever had with a truly kind home. She was fed, cleaned, looked after and cared for. While there wasn’t always a great deal of money for her, she had what she had wanted, or so she had thought. She was with Ellie for two years, and she had thought that she might have found her forever home.

But Mary started to remind Ellie of her lost daughter, and the more she saw Mary, the more depressed she became. Eventually, Ellie’s love and affection became strange. The woman either couldn’t be near Mary at all or she was completely obsessed with making sure she was safe and looked after. She wouldn’t leave Mary alone. Eventually, Mary’s case worker removed her from Ellie’s care. Despite the odd behavior of the woman, she’d been the closest thing Mary had ever had to a mother, and the separation was painful – to say the least.

Mary’s final foster home was a complete nightmare. She was moved in with Alan Barker, a single man who suffered with a painful addiction. Because there was no knowledge of his addiction, he was given Mary. Any money that was given to him went right towards drugs. When he was high, he treated Mary horribly. He would beat her and humiliate her, mock and demoralize her. She wished for the moments where he was passed out when he was coming down, and spent most of her days just trying to hide the bruises at school because she feared more abuse if she dared breathe a word.

That was when she met Jackson Harding. Or was reintroduced to him. They had met previously, when she was seven years old in one of her foster homes. She barely remembered him, or well, she only remembered that at the time she had had a crush on him. It was a chance encounter, with her running to a local coffee shop to get Alan coffee that he’d requested to help with his withdrawals. She had been eager for the reprieve. Jackson offered to pay for the coffee, and seemed charming. She could easily remember why she’d fallen for him in the first place.

They agreed to meet again. And again. They continued meeting, and soon, Mary was so in love with him that she was blind to the warning signs. She didn’t even bother looking. She trusted him completely. She was sixteen, and thought she was in love. She didn’t care that he was ten years older than her. Finally, Jackson devised a plan for them to run away together, told her that they could be together if she would leave with him. It didn’t take much convincing, and two weeks later, she ran away with him.

They moved through several little towns in Virginia, squatting in different places. Eventually, they found a country estate that hadn’t been occupied for a while in Falls Church. They made something of a little home there. Well, as much as they could, given the lifestyle they were leading. They had been staying there for two weeks when Mary went out and saw a newspaper front page that depicted an image of Jackson. The article read that he had killed a person, and had escaped imprisonment.

She was completely shocked, and even though she didn’t want to believe it. She knew it was true. She took the newspaper and confronted him. It didn’t end well. All those little warning signs that might have derailed her flared up and his true nature was revealed. He beat her savagely, telling her that they could have been together if she had been good. His savage beating killed her, and continued well after she was dead. He buried her body in the yard of the house they had been squatting in and took off.

Afterlife:

For decades, Mary’s spirit was stuck in a limbo of sorts, sleeping. But years later, after the house had been renovated and moved into, she found herself waking up, becoming present once more. With the way she was murdered, and her body being stuck in the house, she became a stuck spirit, confined to that area. She lost all conscious memories of her past – all part of the trauma she endured – forgetting who she had been entirely. Often times, she’d flicker in and out, often appearing in the bedroom of one of the houses inhabitants, Iliana.

It was there that she heard the name Crimsyn Novak from a book the child had been being read, and she decided to take it on simple because she could remember her own name.

Name: Delilah Aurora Hastens. Nicknames: Dee, Del, Deedee, Lilah, Lil, D. Biological Age: 24. Birthday: December 21st, 1993. Star Sign: Sagittarius. Place of Birth: Falls Church, Virginia. Current Town: Falls Church, Virginia. Sexuality: Pansexual. Marital Status: Single. Species: Death God. Occupation: Shop Owner/Freelance Photographer/Heir to Hell. Education: High School. Faceclaim: Shelley Hennig.

Personality: Delilah is a free spirit. She’s always been the type to go with the flow and adapt to the situation as its come, never quite planning ahead or calculating every movement. She has never been one for following an exact plan to the t, and has always found a way of making things her own and finding a way to do things that suits her personality. She is a strong believer in free will, and despite the fact she’s not an overly blunt type of person, she does openly and frequently say she thinks fate is ridiculous. This ideology is a big part of why she rebukes her destiny. Delilah has always encouraged others to follow the path they feel is right for them, and has tried to do this herself in whatever way she can. Her prophecy and the weight of it has always been a motivator for her to rebel against having her life planned or things like fate. Deep down in her subconscious, she doesn’t entirely believe that she can avoid her fate, and it terrifies her – so she uses her stubborn determination in being a free spirit to compensate for the fear she doesn’t want to give into. Delilah is a warm and compassionate. She is someone who likes to take care of others, but also knows when it’s time to take care of herself as well. Though she can be rather self-sacrificing, and in cases where it comes down to her own comfort and the lives of others, she will choose the lives of other over herself, which is why she often locks herself up before she can lose control entirely. She is a very loving, bubbly and outgoing person. Because she’s the type suited for so many things, she tends to be able to find common ground with just about anyway. It always made for her to be a more popular person among others, especially in school. Despite being viewed as popular, she’s also rather down to earth. She isn’t cocky or conceited, but instead tends to be more confident in herself, yet drawing the line before such confidence can lead to something like her being as narcissistic as her parents. She’s very energetic, and tends to be good at multi-tasking. She always likes to have several things going on at the one time to keep her high-speed mind busy. Delilah is adventurous and curious about the world. She likes to explore new things, whether it be trying new foods, exploring a new place or studying about cultures and practices, or picking up a new hobby. She’s always been a bit all over the place in where she belongs, as she’s found pieces of herself in so many things. It was why she didn’t end up going to university or college like her sisters, because she didn’t feel as if she could simply restrict herself to one things. She’s very perceptive, and she can pick up things rather quickly. She’s usually quick to figure a person out and understand them, and while she’s not blunt at calling people out on the things like her sister Esme is, she does often trying to nudge them in the direction that will help them the most with the knowledge she picks up on through her perceptive nature. Despite her joyous affect, Delilah carries a heavy weight of guilt. She knows she’s always been the favorite of her mother, and she feels an intense amount of guilt for the way that her siblings were treated by her mother in comparison to her. She feels bad that they had to deal with more emotional distance than she did, especially for how Esmeralda was treated in comparison to her. She tries not to let it show, but she often tries to make up for it by being extremely active in her siblings lives, not wanting them to feel alone. Delilah may be optimistic and hopeful, but she’s not completely dazing with her head in the clouds. She’s more than capable of facing the facts, and is perceptive enough to figure out when something simply isn’t going to happen. As an example, while she believes in epic loves and believes her parents had one, she also know they simply don’t belong together. Delilah has a sort of dry wit and a sarcastic humor, though she does make some jokes, a lot of which are at her own expense. When she’s especially nervous, she makes jokes to ease the tension and avoid having to deal with the strong emotions. She’s a very trusting person, and believes everyone has a heart, and that they deserve a second chance if even a small part of them wants remorse. She’s the type to have faith in people when others may have given up on them.

*Delilah has two very different sides. When her powers overwhelm her, and she is practically possessed by the sheer darkness of them, she is cold and ruthless. Her darker-self delights in chaos and destruction, in death and pain of others. There is almost no traces of her lighter, warm self during these times, although that part of her is conscious enough for her to have memories of these times. Her dark-self is similar to her in the fact she acts on whims and impulses. Only her whims and impulses are consumed by a malicious nature in this case. Dark Delilah is extreme sadistic, deriving pleasure and amusement from the pain and suffering of others.

Birth & Infancy: From the beginning of her pregnancy, Adelya knew that something was different. It had not been like her other pregnancies in any sense. She wasn’t sure what it was, but there was something. As the pregnancy developed, she found her own health declining rapidly. She grew weaker and weaker the longer she was pregnant. Finally, Brett took Adelya to a shaman healer. Upon seeing her, the shaman was struck, and with a deeper, more magical search, he realized that the children Adelya carried had a far greater purpose than even their lineage would suggest. He informed them there had been a prophecy, long foretold within both the Hell and Heaven realms, that one day the time would come for new heirs to rise to take over Heaven and Hell. The heirs would be twin girls, with the first born being destined for darkness, meant to be future Heir to Hell, and the second born being destined for light, meant to rule Heaven. At first, neither was willing to believe it, but eventually came to terms with what their daughters were meant for. In preparation, they did as much research as they possibly could on the prophecy, something Adelya had a great deal of time to do with all the time spent on bedrest.

Adelya’s health continued to rapidly decrease. Near her seventh month of pregnancy, it was evident that she would not survive carrying the children to term. Even her vampire nature would not be enough to save her and her children. Two weeks into her third trimester, she discovered she was bleeding. Both she and Brett knew they had to save the children, so an emergency c-section was performed, which is where it all went wrong. The procedure was complicated because of her vampire nature, but alongside of that, the twins were not born in the natural order intended. Esmeralda, in line with the prophecy was intended to be heir to Hell, and was meant to be born first, however, because of the c-section, Delilah was born first, and despite the way fate was meant to swing, she was to be the Heir to Hell. Esmeralda was removed second, taking place as the Heir to Heaven.

Childhood: Delilah and her sisters were two sides of the same coin. Delilah had been an easy, happy and content baby. She’d been the one everyone got to hold and coddle. Whereas her sister had been a difficult baby. Delilah had been bright, charming as a child, she drew people in naturally. Her aunts and uncles, her parents and siblings, family friends, they all gravitated towards her. People were just drawn to her. Even with her dark destiny, she possessed such light it was hard for people not to pay attention. She was her mother’s favorite, and that was saying something considering the woman had been cold to the majority of her children. She always felt a little guilty – even as a small child – watching Esme being ignored. It was a weight on her conscience from an early age.

Despite many favoring her, she didn’t have an easy childhood. No child in the Hastens household was lucky enough to come out unscathed by the things that happened within the walls. For as long as she could remember, her parents were almost always fighting. They weren’t squabbling like normal couples, every single fight seemed to be all or nothing with the two of them. They were either completely icing each other out or screaming and roaring at each other enough to make the very foundation of the family manor quake. In the middle of all of that was the kids. It weighed especially on arguments, because her mother would always come to her after a fight. When she didn’t want to share a bed with her father, her mother would come into her room and sleep in Delilah’s bed, often relying on Delilah as somewhat of a clutch and seeking for her to comfort her. It wasn’t easy, and while Delilah now as an adult recognized her mother’s dependence on her wasn’t healthy, she still loved her.

She was eight years old when her father left for the first time. While she had not been as nearly as close to him as she had been with her mother, and more than often she had her mother whispering in her ear telling her horrible things about her father, his leaving still hurt immensely. For her, his leaving hitting her had been more to do with the fact she hadn’t been close to him. She mourned for the fact that with him gone, she wouldn’t get a real chance to know who he was, or what sort of relationship they could have had.

Teen Years: Her father’s flighty tendencies carried on well into her teen years. It became so normal she wasn’t so swayed by it, though there was still the slightest bit of sting when he did leave, even if she wasn’t quick to accept it, she acknowledged it enough so that it didn’t entirely weigh her down. She didn’t let her stop from trusting people and letting them in. Even in her human school, she was friends with most people, and didn’t leave herself closed off. In fact, it motivated her more than anything to know people so she wasn’t left with so many questions if they did leave like her father did. She was often in the center of a crowd, always around people. Whether it was her siblings at home, or her friends in public, she was always around people.

At thirteen years of age, another curve was thrown into her life. This was because at thirteen, her mother told both her and her sister about the prophecy that had been set for the two of them. About their destinies. She’d always known she wasn’t exactly like her siblings, that she was a little more powerful, and that her power had favored a particular subset of skills, but she never would have guessed it. Much like her sister, she didn’t fully believe it at first. However, unlike her sister, who denied it by simply pretending it wasn’t real, she learned everything she possibly could about it.

Her spare time became consumed with research about her supposed prophecy, about the Hell dimension that she was supposed to take over. She looked at books and scrolls and spoke to people who knew what it was like. The more she learned, the more she was terrified by it. By the time she was fourteen, she was so scared she ended up having a massive panic attack. In the process, she lost control of her powers and they possessed her. And for the first time she remembered it. Her mother found her before she could do major damage, and got help from her Uncle in subduing her. After she awoke, back to herself once more, her mother explained to her why she’d chosen to tell them when she did.

Her mother told her that ever since she’d been small, she’d had similar blackouts, mostly when she’d gotten out of control. They used different things like amulets and charms to keep her in check, and had Zander wipe her memories of them. She’d done all this to hide it from both Delilah and her siblings. However, right before her thirteenth birthday, it became apparent that more magic was needed to weaken her own powers, and so her mother had hoped by telling her about her destiny, she might gain a further control over it. Delilah was given back her memories of the previous blackouts, and found herself faced with a whole new world.

Over the years, she worked her hardest to keep her darker self in check. She did a lot of work in learning about charmed objects and talismans – eventually even studying with some witches to learn how to make them herself. It was in this time that she ended up finding a great deal of peace in her witch magic. She liked using it, finding it to be something that both allowed her to channel out some of the weight of her powers and to let her focus on something that wasn’t her demon side.

While she battled her dark side, Esme seemed to be battling her own. It was painful for her to see her suffer, and a lot of the time she blamed herself for it. She felt as if maybe she hadn’t always been picked first, maybe Esme would have more people and wouldn’t have resorted to living the way she did. Between her own guilt and concern for Esme, she ended up pushing her too much, trying to get her to get help too often. Esme ended up pushing her away, something that hurt Delilah a great deal, but she gave her space afterwards to sort herself out.

Adult Years: Delilah didn’t follow the path that many of her other siblings had followed. While they had all gone off to college and university, she chose not to. At first, she wanted to, but when the time had come for her to make a decision about which program she wanted to enter, she couldn’t decide. She felt as if a piece of her could fit in all the programs, and couldn’t pick simply one. So instead of spending years doing every single one she could, she decided to go on her journey.

She spent four years traveling around the world, visiting place after place and seeing all sorts of different countries and cultures. During her travels, she would often take photos, and keep an individual album for each place she visited, sometimes more depending on where she stayed. For a long time, that was her passion. She liked belonging everywhere and nowhere at the same time. But soon, traveling no longer suited what she needed, and she decided it was time to return to her home town.

Delilah moved back to Falls Church and decided to open up an occult store, a place where she could celebrate her appreciation for the witch part of herself. It took some time, but she eventually set up everything for the shop and had a successful grand opening. Along the way, when Esme reached out again, she found herself being grateful to have her sister in her life once more. However, as in her twenty second and twenty third year, she noticed her powers getting even stronger, more out of control. She knew she would start losing control to her darker side more often if she wasn’t careful, and so she went to her Uncle for help. She had him help her build an enchanted prison type chamber for her to go to before her dark magic took over.

Present day, more than often Delilah can be found at her shop, whether she’s selling merchandise or doing a lesson on something, with Esmeralda or Adeline, or somewhere off in a nature rich place where she can take her pictures.

Name: Elain Marie Silvena. Nicknames: Ellie, El. Biological Age: 238. Birthday: October 17th, 1779. Star Sign: Libra. Place of Birth: London, England. Current Town: Falls Church, Virginia. Sexuality: Bisexual. Marital Status: Single. Species: Angel. Occupation: Author. Education: Out of Date, never received one. Faceclaim: Claire Holt.

Personality: Elain was once a happy and carefree human that lived life to the fullest, believing in fairytales and true love. After the death of her husband and two year old son, she became deeply depressed. Following her death and ascension to becoming an angel, Elain was cold and cynical. Everything was about the jobs she was given and her role as as an angel of the lord. She was stern, ruthless, and virtually emotionless. It was only after being assigned as Esmeralda’s handler that she began to feel human emotion again and started to yearn for what she had lost and never had. Following her fall from Heaven, Elain slowly started to find her true self. She has a sharp tongue and dry wit to follow. She can be unforgiving and stubborn, but fiercely loyal to those she deems worthy.

Biography:

Background & Birth: Marie Silvena was a joyous person and finding out she was pregnant was the best day of her life. However it wasn’t an easy pregnancy and there were a lot of downs. The night she went into labor, it had been two months early and everyone thought for sure she’d lose the child, Elain. However Elain survived and was perfectly healthy, a blessing from the gods her parents had claimed. But, Marie became very ill and never fully recovered becoming very weak.

Childhood: Elain was a happy child, a spoiled one at that. Her father had been a landowner and ran his own factory. Marie, Elain’s mother, passed away when she was five, after falling pregnant again. With her father becoming depressed, Elain was left to the care of the nannies all the time. She was shielded from the loss and was encouraged to engage in her creative side.

Teen Years: Her teen years were filled with love and adventure. Elain was sixteen when she met Kasper and they fell in love fast and hard. Within a year they were married and buying their own house with the money her father gave them as a wedding gift. Kasper was unlike other men and encouraged Elain to be herself and to do things that women didn’t typically do then. And so Elain did. She and Kasper often travelled and she would document their travels in her diary, hoping to one day turn them into a book.

Adult Years: Four years into their marriage, now twenty-one year old Elain became pregnant. It terrified and exhilarated her. She knew what had happened to her mother, and knew she was at risk as well. Elain, despite her feisty and independent nature, agreed to bed rest for a majority of the pregnancy. In the end it had served her well as she gave birth with no issues to a beautiful baby boy. Naming him Luca after her deceased younger sibling if they had been a boy, Elain cherished him and her husband. Putting her writing on hold, Elain gladly became a full time mother and housewife. She was happy and on top of the world.

However this wasn’t meant to last. Luca, now two, and Kasper had gone out to run errands in town when a storm came. Elain had been home worried when a knock came from the door. A police marshal told her that lightning had struck in town and the building Kasper and Luca had taken cover in had been set ablaze. Now a widow and completely without family except for her elderly father who wasn’t expected to last much long, she was alone. She became depressed and for several weeks she barely did anything. It was right after the death of her father that Elain took her husband's gun and shot herself.

Angel Years: She had thought it would be the end, her death. It wasn’t however and instead she was resurrected as an angel filled with heavenly grace and bright white wings. Elain was now a shell of her former self, gone was the happy and carefree girl she had been and was replaced with a stern and unforgiving woman. For over two hundred years she lived almost completely on autopilot, a robot in many ways. She followed instructions to the letter and quickly rose through the ranks.

Her life took another unexpected twist when she met Esmeralda. A child when they first met, Esme was only seventeen years old. She was given the task of making sure that Esme followed the rules and to keep her safe. As always, Elain took her job seriously and kept a close eye on her charge. But as the time went on, Elain grew attached and even began to feel more and more human. And she began to remember the girl who had lived before the deaths of her husband and child.

Current Years: Following the third time the Angels tortured Esme, Elain fell from grace after defending her charge from her fellow angels. The adjustment to being on Earth full time wasn’t as hard as one would believe. Elain always had been adaptable, and it helped that she had been watching over Esmeralda for quite some time. At first she was stiff and uptight, not truly engaging others, but the longer she was there the more she relaxed. Eventually she began writing again, at first about all the things she had never experienced and it slowly turned into romance novels. She has so far published two books and has a third in the works.

El can be a bit promiscuous, but she’s very charming and kind. She is very much a foodie. Elody does not share her food…unless it’s with one of the kids. She’s got a childish side to her.

Name: Esmeralda Rae Hastens. Nicknames: Esme, Es. Biological Age: 24. Birthday: December 21st, 1993. Star Sign: Sagittarius. Place of Birth: Falls Church, Virginia. Current Town: Falls Church, Virginia. Sexuality: Pansexual. Marital Status: Single. Species: Death God. Occupation: Stay at home mom, Heir to Heaven. Education: General Studies, University. Faceclaim: Phoebe Tonkin.

Personality: Esmeralda wasn’t always as cold and cynical as she’s become. Despite her family troubles, she was rather innocent and looked at the world hopefully. However, over the years she’s become colder and has had her eyes opened to what she believes to be the way of the world. There are a few exceptions for her iciness, and those are her children and her siblings. They get to see a warmer, more compassionate side of her. With them, she is understanding and kind. Esmeralda tends to avoid intense feelings and emotions using wit, a blunt attitude, sarcasm, and deflection. She feels a great deal, but is known for bottling things and pushing them down, so when she does deal with something head on, it brings all the other emotions to surface and she gets rather overwhelmed, often falling into states of depression. Because of the one constant of people walking out of her life and sometimes never coming back, she’s learned to push people away, to keep them at an arm’s length, which is another reason she avoids emotional honesty and intimacy, because it keeps people from getting too close to hurt her. She prefers superficial relationships with no true roots because they don’t result in a broken heart. She has trust issues, so if she ends up letting someone in and allowing them to get close, it’s not a common occurrence. She will be completely loyal to those she develops this bond with. However, if she’s hurt or betrayed, she can be extremely spiteful. Esme had a high temper and tends to snap first and ask questions later, though the exception to this is her kids. Her temper is volatile, and if someone she loves is especially threatened, violence tends to be a medium of that rage. She often finds rage and anger are the easiest emotions for her to feel, and knows if she dips far into the others, she won’t be able to control it, which is something she’s had a great deal of difficulty with, losing control. In most things, Esmeralda is blunt and uncensored, she has the tendency to say the things that if people noticed, they wouldn’t talk about. Though, the one thing she isn’t quite as blunt about is the rejection of her ‘destiny’. She fears the angels taking action against her, or worse, someone she loves if she full out rejects what they believe she is to do. And so, she lives her life just within the lines they’ve set for her, if only to avoid getting tortured, or having someone she loves targeted. More so than her sisters, she has the tendency to be reckless and impulsive, something that goes hand and hand with her blunt attitude and her temper. She acts and thinks on how she’s feeling in the moment, and doesn’t always take the time to sort it out. Despite a constant show of bravado and a generally cocky defect, Esmeralda is insecure, and believes herself to be expendable, something that started as early as her parents mistreating her, and developed more so with struggles in other relationships. Despite not wanting to get close, she’s rather extroverted, though she keeps the deeper parts of herself reserved, she tends to be more outgoing, however not everyone can get along with her attitude. Her biggest weak spot are her two children, and her biggest fear is that one day the angels will use this against her if she steps out of line. Despite her tendencies favoring rash actions, she’s intelligent, and she’s capable of being calculated.

Background & Birth: From the beginning of her pregnancy, Adelya knew that something was different. It had not been like her other pregnancies in any sense. She wasn’t sure what it was, but there was something. As the pregnancy developed, she found her own health declining rapidly. She grew weaker and weaker the longer she was pregnant. Finally, Brett took Adelya to a shaman healer. Upon seeing her, the shaman was struck, and with a deeper, more magical search, he realized that the children Adelya carried had a far greater purpose than even their lineage would suggest. He informed them there had been a prophecy, long foretold within both the Hell and Heaven realms, that one day the time would come for new heirs to rise to take over Heaven and Hell. The heirs would be twin girls, with the first born being destined for darkness, meant to be future Heir to Hell, and the second born being destined for light, meant to rule Heaven. At first, neither was willing to believe it, but eventually came to terms with what their daughters were meant for. In preparation, they did as much research as they possibly could on the prophecy, something Adelya had a great deal of time to do with all the time spent on bedrest.

Adelya’s health continued to rapidly decrease. Near her seventh month of pregnancy, it was evident that she would not survive carrying the children to term. Even her vampire nature would not be enough to save her and her children. Two weeks into her third trimester, she discovered she was bleeding. Both she and Brett knew they had to save the children, so an emergency c-section was performed, which is where it all went wrong. The procedure was complicated because of her vampire nature, but alongside of that, the twins were not born in the natural order intended. Esmeralda, in line with the prophecy was intended to be heir to Hell, and was meant to be born first, however, because of the c-section, Delilah was born first, and despite the way fate was meant to swing, she was to be the Heir to Hell. Esmeralda was removed second, taking place as the Heir to Heaven.

Childhood:

Using complicated to describe her childhood would be a severe understatement. From day one, people doted on her twin sister over her. Where Delilah had been an easy, happy baby, Esmeralda had been a difficult one. While Delilah had a natural light charm about her, Esmeralda always had something darker about her, even when she was innocent, she was not her sister, and life had seemed set up to remind her of that fact. Though, despite being ignored, strangle enough she bore no ill will to her siblings that got more attention, to her it was a tragic but given fact that she came last. Anybody putting her above others often was met by surprise from Esmeralda.

As long as she was able to comprehend the environment around her, she can remember the fights between her parents. More often than not, Esmeralda found herself caught between the fights of her parents. The couple did not simply squabble with each other or have small disagreements – when they fought, the house hold shook with the volume of their screams. They’d go on for hours, and more than often her relations with her parents were one or the other trying to sway her towards their side of the argument, if they even paid attention to her. If it wasn’t for the fact her elder sister Adeline was there to look after her and care for her, to give her the time of day when others would not, she might never have held onto her innocence and hopeful nature as long as she did.

She was eight the first time her father left. Even though she wasn’t always the closest with him, she mourned his departure. A lot of the times she questioned herself, what she could have done to make him stay, or what actions she had done to make him leave. The cycle continued each time he came back. She lost track of the times he’d leave, disappear for weeks, sometimes months or years. During those times, she couldn’t rely on her mother. She was either occupied with a new boyfriend or child. The only thing she could rely on were her parents abandoning her.

Teen Years: The pattern of her father’s disappearances carried well on into her teenage years. The cycle became so normal, she began to forget that her father’s patterns had laid the groundwork to her always keeping a distance from people. Even as in her youth, she found ways to avoid intimacy, often through avoiding people in general. She was more introverted. And though her mother had them attending a human school, no true connections ever came of it. In class, she focused only on her courses and tasks at hand. She didn’t gossip with the other students or pass notes in the back of the class. The only time she was really open was when she was around her two sisters, Delilah and Adeline. While she and Delilah would always meet for coffee in the local café, in school, they were often avoided each other.

When Esmeralda was thirteen, her mother told her and Delilah about their prophecy. Though it had remained clear from the start to her that she wasn’t exactly like her other siblings, at least in terms of powers, she knew that. But she hadn’t expected the bomb that was dropped on her by any means. She had always believed that she was meant to be in the background. Delilah she could imagine as a leader, but herself, it hadn’t dawned on her in any sense. She spent almost two years scoffing at the idea, finding new ways to deny what she was meant to do. While she didn’t rebel against the idea in so many ways, she rejected it.

When she was fifteen, she started to shift, losing the innocence and optimistic nature. It started rather simply, in fact, with something that might have been normal by most circumstances. She got involved with a man. His name was Rhysand, and he was from an ancient family of hybrid vampire-werewolves. She found him wounded, and offered him her blood to heal. She knew the risks at the time, knew that her angelic blood could be addictive to those who craved blood, but she wanted to ensure he healed. And so she fed him her blood. Predictably, he got addicted to it, and she too got addicted to him in a way. He was escape from all the things at home. Her mother and father’s flightiness, the stress of the prophecy. For a time, she could just be carefree. She started skipping some days of school, spending most days at his house, often letting him feed off her just because she enjoyed the thrill. Eventually their relationship became sexual, and he took her virginity. They continued the rather unhealthy interaction for about a year. Unfortunately, Esmeralda fell for him, yet he hadn’t wanted that type of relationship with her, so when she told him of her feelings, she was rejected, and not kindly.

She was changed by it. The cruel rejection from the man she had loved stirred up all the feelings of a similar rejection from her parents and it basically took the lid off the bottle. She snapped. She started partying, often taking supernatural drugs to feel alive, to let her hair down and be out of control of something. She slept around, and didn’t regard anyone’s feelings but her own. Despite her close relationship with Delilah, they grew distant over the next two years as Esme changed. Delilah kept confronting her about her problems and habits, and Esme didn’t want to face them. Instead she grew closer to her sister Phoebe, who turned into her party buddy, someone who wasn’t trying to change her back into the girl she’d been before.

When she was seventeen, the angels took her for the first time. They had been watching her since birth, certain she would mess up since she hadn’t been intended to be the heir at all. Seeing her behavior, they believed it to be a disgrace to heaven and wanted to nip it in the bud immediately. They’d use a series of torture techniques. Physical and emotional. Whether they were messing with her mind, or ripping into her body, they found their ways to make Esme fear their wrath. The first time, they released her after a week. The second time, she was not nearly so lucky. They kept her for three months that time. No one came to save her as they simply believed she’d gone off the rails partying. And even though after two times of being tortured by the angels enough to fear them, she still went on partying. The third time she was taken for half a year. They allowed her to experience the fall from heaven to earth. She collided in her hometown in an alleyway, slamming hard enough into the ground to make her bones shatter. The pain knocked her unconscious.

Upon waking up, she was at the house of a male named Nathan. He had bandaged up her external wounds and had watched over her while she had healed. She had been more than alarmed and paranoid at first, but after spending a few days in his home, their relationship switched to the blossoming of a friendship. And perhaps it was because she didn’t know him, and he didn’t have expectations of her, but he was the first person she told about being tortured by the angels. He helped her come up with a loophole for the angels strict rules so she could continue to be her partying self. They spent three months around each other, and her platonic feelings for him developed into something more romantic, though she kept them hidden because Nathan had a girlfriend at the time.

Eventually he broke up with his girlfriend two months after meeting Esme, simply because of her attitude and behavior. Eventually, he fell for Esme too. She let him in, trusted him and they started a relationship. It didn’t last long, eventually Nathan returned to his ex, breaking Esmeralda’s heart in a much deeper manner than before, and further affirming her trust issues.

Determined to go back to her lifestyle, she moved to Los Angelos with her sister Phoebe. For a while, they went about partying, doing so under the radar with Esmeralda dancing around the angels set lines. Phoebe started growing paranoid and carried an odd behavior. Esmeralda was scared she was losing it. Things only got worse when Phoebe discovered she was four months pregnant. It seemed to be her undoing. She spent most nights pacing the house, muttering about how something was coming for her. She gave birth a month before she was due, to a little girl.

Later in the evening after Phoebe had given birth, Esme woke up to the sound of the infant child crying. At first she thought nothing of it, until the crying persisted on. Eventually she got up, worry striking her. She went down to her sister’s room and found the child alone in her sister’s bed, and next to her, a letter. Esme calmed the infant down despite her confusion, then settled her back on the bed to read the letter. The letter was from her sister. Most of it was scribbled thoughts of her paranoia, but there was some clarity to it, telling Esme she loved her and that she was sorry.

Adult Years:

With her sister’s disappearance, there was no one to look after the daughter she’d left behind. Esmeralda was left to take on a child she had not been prepared for in any sort of way. But, despite her lack of being prepared for such a thing, she took it on. It was difficult, extremely so. But it was good for her, because it gave her a reason to smarten up. It gave her something to care about, to drive her. She became a mother to the child, adopting her as her own. She became more responsible, stopped partying and got sober of the spell ridden drugs she’d been relying on to take her from the cruelty of the world she’d been in. She struggled with it, but she always had something to anchor her, something to drive her to keep going. She ended up naming the child she adopted Iliana Phoebe, in honor of her sister and Iliana’s biological mother. It was one of her better kept secrets, at an early age she even imprinted a copy of her own birthmark onto Iliana’s shoulder, knowing that any biological child of hers would have it, and it would be necessary to make it seem as if Iliana was her true child.

She ended up meeting Julian two years after taking in Iliana. He was everything that she needed. He was safe, reliable. He had a daughter the same age as Iliana named Rose. They ended up getting together, but despite the fact that he was safe and secure with him, there was no passion. She loved him, but she was not in love with him. She made it work for as long as she could. Things started getting more serious, and when he proposed to her, she almost accepted, but realized it wouldn’t be right because while she loved him, she could never be in love the way he was. She ended things.

When Iliana was three years old, she felt a familiar echo of power, one she’d felt only three times before – when family members of her had fallen. Only this one was different, closer, it felt like a part of her. She knew what it meant, that her sister Phoebe had died. She wasn’t sure how, but she spent over a year trying to find her body, or her killer. She couldn’t find anything. It was hard to deal with the loss, but when she was finally no longer consumed by trying to find her, she mourned for her sister.

It was just after the death of her sister when Nathan came back into her life. She couldn’t believe it. At first, she kept him at a distance, scared to let him back in after he’d left her for his ex. She was terrified of being hurt. But she was vulnerable, with the death of her sister, and more than that, despite her better efforts, she still loved him, she ended up getting close again, and they became close to getting back together again. One morning she woke up, and he was gone, leaving her heartbroken all over again.

She never truly got that close to anyone romantically after that. The closest she came to romance was Jasper Reese, who came into her life two weeks later when she took Iliana for a check-up. He was a doctor known for treating the supernatural, and Iliana had a worrying fever. At first it was strictly professional, she relied on him solely for medical help with Iliana. It shifted when she discovered he was Iliana’s birth father. Knowing what it was like to be raised without a father, she told him that he was Iliana’s father, and let him be part of her life, even though she was scared he would try to take Iliana from her. Esme got involved in a physical with Jasper, and feelings started to develop, but then he too left. She discovered she was pregnant two weeks later, but knew because of the date that it was not Jasper’s, but Nathan’s. However, because the answer was easier, because Jasper held less power over her, she lied and told those who asked about the father that he was.

She had a daughter whom she named Vasilisa, though it was an incredibly rare day that she ever used her full name. Often she affectionately called her “Lissa.” She had her hands full with two daughters, but during her pregnancy she had taken the time to fully repair things with Delilah, whom she’d pushed away but always held closer than others. Those were her main emotional ties, as she swore of almost all romantic connections, certain they could only lead to pain. She still rejected her destiny in a more quiet manner, but never quite said it allowed, because she feared the angels may come and take the two most important things in the world to her, her daughters.

Name: Eleanor “Nell” Foster. Nicknames: Nell. Biological Age: 21. Real Age: 21. Birthday: DD/MM/1998. Star Sign: UTA. Place of Birth: Falls Church, Virginia. Current Town: Falls Church, Virginia. Sexuality: Heterosexual. Marital Status: Single. Species: Witch. Occupation: UTA. Education: High School, Incomplete University. Faceclaim: Selena Gomez.

Personality: Nell is a rather careful person. She has a lot of trust issues when it comes to worrying about people abandoning her. More often than not she worried that people are going to leave her like her birth parents did, or how she feels her adoptive parents did when they started favoring her brother. Nell is rather self sufficient and while her parents have provided for her she works harder for everything because they don’t simply hand things over like they do with her brother. She’s more perceptive and tends to see the darker parts of people rather than the lighter parts they put on display. She’s very good at sorting out the truth from a lie. While she is kind and compassionate, this only carries a person so far and she doesn’t always fall into trusting them or truly letting them in easily. She’s not entirely unpleasant, but when she distrusts someone she makes her dislike known. She isn’t someone to shoot the shit but she also isn’t entirely blunt.

Biography: Nell was born to a fifteen year old from a family of witches. The woman had known during her whole pregnancy that she was far too young to have a baby, and she knew she didn’t want to raise her child as she had been raised so she decided that instead she would give her up for adoption, hoping she’d find a family who would genuinely care for her. It was arranged that she would go with the Foster’s. They had money and desperately wanted a child. Nell’s mother approved of them taking care of her child. Due to some waiting periods and such, when Nell was handed off to the hands of the Fosters, she was originally a foster child and it took almost three years before the adoption was finalized. And just after it was finalized they found out that the foster’s mother was pregnant. Nell’s adoptive mother quickly tossed her aside when her new son came. Nell was still loved, she thought so at least. But she was no longer the center of their world. Instead, she was just a side character. She didn’t exactly go without food or shelter or clothes. But she was not as easily given into as Rhys was. She was just there, she wasn’t the center of the world. Oftentimes, she felt left behind and sad. She felt like she wasn’t nearly enough to hold their attention. This was only fed later on when she found out she was adopted. Nell suspected she was somehow defective. She felt like she had done something wrong, or that there was something wrong with her. Nell went through life, but she never could rid herself of that feeling like she wasn’t good enough. Insecurity chased and crippled her. Despite her feelings, she kept quiet and did her best to keep her head down. She tried to do her best to get good grades and impress her parents. It didn’t work. Her stellar grades meant nothing compared to Rhys sports accomplishments. She grew to despise her little brother in many ways. Those emotions started to lash out through her powers. Every little rage brought about the breaking of things around her. Power shortages, smashing glass. She never thought she was the cause of it. She just thought bad things happened around her. Eventually, things started to change and she realized the fault was with her parents and not her, or her brother. When all the drama happened she was there to support her brother as much as she could. Soon, her parents ended up deciding to take her back to where she’d been born, figuring she deserved the chance to learn more about her history.

Sexuality: Pansexual. Marital Status: Single. Species: Banshee/Shadowsinger. Occupation: Kindergarten Teacher. Education: University ; Elementary and Kindergarten Major. Faceclaim: Holland Roden.

Personality: Ever since she was born, Tessa has defied the odds and has a kind and gentle nature. As both a banshee and shadowsinger she was meant for darkness, yet she is anything but. She is bubbly and energetic, so full of life. She shines bright despite being shrouded in darkness. Tessa doesn’t have a mean bone in her body, even though she knows just how cruel people can be, and is one of the kindest and most caring people there is and will do anything to help others. She is stubborn and known to persevere.

Biography: Background & Birth: It was dark and stormy the night Tessa came into the word. The Romaro's were shrouded in darkness for what seemed like hours as Penelope labored. Savannah was born first, beautiful. Next came Tessa who was equally lovely. But the parents couldn't help the fear that trickled in, their daughter were dark and they knew then that their children were meant for evil things. Penelope and Charles swore that night they would fix their mistakes.

Childhood: Growing up Tessa didn't know much else outside the small family home in the country. She and Savannah were often kept on a tight leash and were often beaten of they stepped a toe out of line. They learned to obey and quickly. Tessa, even then, was known to look on the bright side of things and try to make the best from the hand she was dealt.

Teen Years: At 13, the twins’ lives were changed forever. Darkness, shadows always seemed to follow them and it was then that they got stronger, darker. Their parents were not pleased that their efforts were not successful. The one night after dinner, their father dragged them to the storm cellar and chained them up. He left them there for three days. It was the third day when a man broke in hoping to find food and money to steal. He came across the twins, and the girls startled accidentally used part of their powers, nearly suffocating him with their shadows. In his fear he called them devil's spawn and in his haste tried to stab them, but only leaving deep cuts. It was that night that they nearly died for the first time and the night that their powers were activated fully.

Following that fateful night, the girls were often taken to the basement to be whipped or starved. But Tessa remained optimistic and tried to keep Savannah's spirits up.

Adult Years: When Tessa was 23 her life was forever changed. Her sister who had always embraced the darkness, used her powers for the evil deeds their parents feared. In the dead of night, Savannah killed the Romaro parents and fled, abandoning her sister to take the blame. The church had a curse placed on Tessa, trapping her in her crow form, unable to turn back. For nearly a century she was stuck like that, doomed to never be human again. Until she met Delilah, a death god that found her and felt something off about her. It was her that reversed the curse placed on Tessa and helped her adjust to modern society as a human. Tessa, who had always been intelligent, went to school and is now a teacher, working with children.

• Rules, Notes, Guidelines •

• Our biggest and main rule that flies here is respect. We expect everyone to treat the other members of community with respect. You don’t all have to like each other, or agree on every little thing. But you do have to be polite with one another. There will be a zero tolerance policy on drama starting, feuds, etc. If you have a problem with another member, we’d much rather you discuss it with one of the admins to have a proper solution drawn up, as most things can end up turning out to be little mistakes. Another rule of respect falls under marking solos with trigger warnings that are suitable to ward anyone away who may be upset by this. This is an all in sort of roleplay where most sorts of storylines will go, but please use trigger warnings and discuss with other admins before unleashing such a trigger upon them. God-modding is also a big no in this category. Don’t try to control another character, and don’t make your character invincible. No character deaths can be caused without prior discussion among admins. All characters have weaknesses, and we ask that you’re mindful of this when it comes to writing with others.

• Obviously, you’re not expected to be active every single hour of every day. At least twice a week would be preferred. If you plan on being inactive for an extended period of time just let one of the admin team members know of your inactivity beforehand. No reason needs to be given, just say you’ll be gone for such and such an amount of time and everything will be handled. If we see your activity is dwindling, your role may be closed. If it’s an original character, they’ll be deleted from the album. If they’re a premade, the role will be reopened. There’s a standard of activity that comes with major league players. If you’re actively joining a very detailed plot, it would be preferred if you would try to ensure your activity matches that of the storyline, so other players do not end up slowed because of this. 

• If you feel like joining the admin team, give us a shout and we’ll get you an application of sorts. This roleplay’s goal is to be inclusive as possible. So even if you simply just have some ideas for events, want to host your own little event, so on and so forth, we welcome it. Just give the admin team a heads up so we can make sure we don’t interfere with your plans and make sure each member has an apt chance to join.

• There is no set character limit. However, most people will be allowed as much as they can handle. Say, one person whose active like one every three weeks holding nine characters wouldn’t be allowed. This of course is an exaggeration, but the point stands. Try to take on what you can handle so you don’t end up letting characters/storylines go stagnant

. • This roleplay does not purely exist as a paragraph roleplay. Gif banter, liner banter and other sorts of roleplaying forms will also be accepted. This is simply to give others a chance to sort of get out there even if they don’t have the chance to write out multiple paragraphs. Though paragraph roleplay is preferred when you have the time.

• No set limit on pregnancies, marriages, relapse storylines, etc. We just ask you alert an admin before you go ahead with any of these major changes. Just so we can get a handle on what’s happening and be sure it fits the character. For example a couple marrying after knowing each other two days would probably not be approved. 

• We will be having weekly solo prompts to give writers a little bit to go on as a great deal of people struggle with muse at times. If you want to suggest a prompt, or share prompts, or run prompt exchanges yourself you’re entirely welcome. We loved the idea of you guys sharing what inspires you with others. 

• If you have any question on anything happening, with a character, application, storyline, etc. just come to the admin team and we will help you as best as possible. We’re here to help you have the best experience possible.

• How To Join •

Fire and Ice is a combination of premade and original characters. However, premade characters have a direct link to one of the characters already within existence or will aid in a storyline currently playing out and the admin responsible for writing the premade gets to determine who ends up taking up said character. Mostly, the roleplay will be original character based. Upon making the decision to join, a person will be expected to write a character that fits somehow into the plot. The character will be published in the album and then the person will be free to play with the other characters in the roleplay. Below is a step by step guide on joining, an original character form, basic application form and some helpful tips on writing your own character.

Premades:

Premades are pre-published characters that do not require approval and already exist in the albums. Most premades already have connections, personalities and bios, but also leave wiggle room for those who want to make the character their own. Premade applications are approved by the person responsible for writing the character, and can also be removed by the writer if they do not believe their creation is being played to their standards. Premade characters can be found in the characters album, and will be marked “available.” If you want a premade, but don’t see one you like, contact the page and someone will have a premade written for you.

Process:

• Read informational notes from our nav (history, rules, how-to-join, non-playable characters). • Look at the characters under the characters tab in the navigation • Read bio, personality, etc. of open characters to decide which to choose. • Fill out application for the character. • Message to inbox

Application:

Character your applying for? : Detailed description of the character’s personality? : Can you attend chatzy type events? : How often can you be active? : Do you understand and agree to abide by the rules? : Sample of roleplay as the character in question? :

Original Characters:

Original characters will be the backbone of the roleplay. They are characters that spring from the minds of a writer and are brought to life by the same person. Original characters in this roleplay are written based of the basic template and then played by the creator. Original characters must be approved by the admin team, though if the character has a tie or connection to another character, the creator of that character will have the make or break main vote. Any ties or connections to other characters must be run by the creator of said characters first.

Process:

• Read informational notes from our nav (history, rules, how-to-join, non-playable characters, taken faceclaims). • Ask any questions or make inquiries about faceclaims, species or character backgrounds, inbox or ask box. • Start writing your character into the format given. • Pick a faceclaim. • Fill out the other basic questions. • Submit application to inbox.

Rules:  

• For any connection to pre-existing characters, ask first. • We won’t be accepting any death god characters, children of other Hastens siblings easily. All of these have to be discussed with the group. • Don’t choose an already taken faceclaim unless the character using the faceclaim is okay with it. • Don’t make a Mary Sue type character. • Be mindful of triggers.

Application: Can you attend chatzy type events? : How often can you be active? : Do you understand and agree to abide by the rules? : Writer’s Signature/Penname ? : Sample of roleplay as the character in question? :

• Non-Playable Characters •

The Maker: The first of the beings that slipped through the rip in the realm. The being that became responsible for setting off the chain of reaction that made the earth what it is today. Also, the creator of Heaven. The Maker is an omnipresent type of creature, and cannot take a corporal form. It doesn’t have a true thought process, and the archangels and heirs to Heaven are often the only ones who can decipher the desires of The Maker. Because The Maker is weakening, the archangels it created to serve have taken over Heaven and have been making their own rules for how to control and rule it. 

Lucifer: Lucifer was one of the archangels created by The Maker. He was the last archangel created, and favored by The Maker considerably because of his power. The Maker believed he would be his heir to Heaven, and would eventually come to take his place. However, the more Lucifer was coddled and bragged about the angels, the more his ego grew and the less he cared for things The Maker and other archangels cared for. And after Lucifer made it abundantly clear that he cared little for Earth or the creations on it other than the idea of ruling as a dictator, The Maker had Lucifer fall, casting him into a realm he formed that would eventually become Hell. A realm that Lucifer came to become King of.

The Hastens Siblings (outside of Emberly): The Hastens were a simple human family. They had no special origins and were not born of supernatural descent. However, they did become victims of the supernatural. Torryn was looking for a way out of his death responsibility, he had a plan, and an idea to make it happen. So he started sending waves of his own plague through the worlds until finally he found someone strong enough to survive it. Low and behold, the Hastens siblings did. So he told them he had a job for them. At first they thought he was mad, but slowly realized that every nightmare they’d dreamt was all real. He eventually decided no individual species was strong enough to take on his power, only everything could. So he formed them into the perfect blend of all creatures, and so the death god species was born. He trained them, and eventually chose Brett to pass his powers on to. (Members: Brett Hastens, Zander Hastens, Octavia Hastens [Deceased], Emberly Hastens, Nesryn Hastens).

Adelya Petrova: Adelya was a simple vampire, responsible for not much other than casting chaos on others. She was rather stubborn and unrelenting and tends to pick fights rather recklessly. Which is how she ended up running into Brett. She heard of him residing in the town and felt he was taking over her town. So she confronted him. Surprisingly he didn’t end her right away, and they eventually ended up falling for each other. They wed and had children, two of which were twin girls that were written about in a prophecy.

TO BE UPDATED AS MORE NPC’s ARE ADDED.

 • History •

Thousands and thousands of years ago, a rip opened up within the seam of the walls between the worlds, most specifically the one between a realm of extremely powerful beings and earth. Most of these beings were torn on what to do, trying to decide whether or not they would try to take that world, or perhaps just ignore it. Eventually they decided it wasn’t worth the trouble and ruled that no beings would enter the other world through the rip.

More rips began to form, and the more that formed, the more the world started to fall apart. Finally, two curious beings decided to go through the tear within the seam of the realm. First, the being that would become known in hundreds of cultures as many different things, and then, the being who became known as Torryn Brindley came through. The first being was unable to become corporeal, but was able to use it’s powers to catalyze the beginning of the world known as earth. And the other adapted himself a solid form and became responsible for providing balance to the life provided. He became death.

Centuries passed, the life on earth spun and new things came from what was started in the beginning by the first being known as The Maker. Heaven was formed, where The Maker and the loyal servants he created known as angels served. Creature after creature developed, filling the world with all sorts of different species. And when one of The Maker’s servants fell, Hell came about as well. The world became a new place from what it became.

Though Torryn, who became known as the incarnation of death was growing exhausted. Where The Maker was able to sit and view all the beautiful creations of life he had filled the world with, Torryn was forced to experience death at every corner, seeing only the saddest parts of life. At least that’s how it felt. And so, Torryn decided it was time to pass on the torch, to create something new, something that could become death so he no longer would have to be.

Thus came The Hastens family. Originally a simple human family, The Hastens fell victim to a particular creature that was going through town. Torryn was naturally drawn by all the carnage caused in order to collect the souls, and then he saw an opportunity. So he left the souls of The Hastens untouched and gathered all of them. It took many months, trying to figure out how to make it work. Eventually, he found a way. There was nothing in that world that could handle such an infusion of power, aside from of course – everything.

And so he began the process. He reanimated each Hastens, making them the perfect mix of every single supernatural species that populated the earth, creating the first death gods. He trained them all how to control their powers. Such a strong and volatile mixture was hard to control, but he did it. If not only in part to find out which of them was the strongest. It took some effort, but he eventually did find the strongest of them, Brett. He infused Brett with his power, passing the gift onto him, and making him the new incarnation of death.

Eventually Brett found himself in Falls Church. Simple business really, along with visiting a family friend, one of the few he’d found along the way. And then he met Adelya, which just so happened to be the beginning of the end. Before her, Falls Church was just a simple town in Virginia. But after her union with Brett, and their children being born, it became a supernatural hotspot. Creatures coming for their power, to try and eliminate them out of fear, to try and win their favor. And so began the story of how Falls Church turned into the supernatural war zone it became.
