Julian Teach | 22 | Son of Blackbeard "They forget who I am if I don't kill a man every now and then." what is a monster — if not that which sleeps with human nature in the most intimate of ways ? and what is more human than a weapon that’s learned how to sharpen itself ? CRUELTY LOVES COMPANY. // m.a.w
“How do you know you haven’t already? Not all corpses remember their deaths when returned right away.” An obvious tease, despite any lack of vocal or expressive clues to that fact. Had that been the case, she likely would’ve informed the other, if only in an attempt to slow him down a beat. Always on the run when she’d prefer to walk, so to speak. At the turn in conversation towards her pets, even Helena had to smile. An odd sight for anyone unfamiliar with the young woman. “I’ll be sure to remind them that you and your armies are off limits.” Not that it would ensure they listened entirely. “I’ll give you a charm to wear, just in case.”
“Have you met me? If I’m dying it’s definitely gonna be because someone murdered me and if they have the brains to do that, they have the brains to make sure I stay dead because if I don’t --- well, you know the rest!” He chuckled, before shaking his head. A brow rose at the mention of the charm, grinning because it meant a lot that Helena would be concerned enough to not let her pets eat him. “They can have anyone that’s injured too. No need for dead weight to be left lingering around. Oh, and thank you, I appreciate not being eaten.”
– & Curious that more and more pirates seemed to accumulate outside of the docks, a supposed sanctuary for both their kind and her own. Although she would be unwise to look a gift horse in the mouth, wouldn’t she? “I never had the opportunity to meet your father,” Which was definitely for the better considering what she was. “My husband, however, speaks highly of him — often.”
“Yeah? My dad was a dick so your husband should raise his standards,” he stated bluntly. Was his dad a renowned and feared pirate? Yes. Was he going to win any dad of the year awards? Not a chance in hell. His father was also defeated by Jackass Sparrow so he really was a lame pirate too in Julian’s opinion. “So, don’t worry, you’re not missing anything,” he assured with a grin.
“really, it’s not too much?” she asked with a small grin. the princess had never tried dressing like this before but since becoming friends with the big 3 after pledging her allegiance to uma to try and capture julian’s attention once again, she had wanted to try a new look. she’d be lying if she had said that the white family were big fans of her new look especially since it made her look more like a vk than an ak, which is exactly what she was going for. “he’s not much of a fan, to say the least.” the younger white shook her head, but she didn’t need her older brother’s approval to change her look especially since she barely even listened to their parents when it came to her looks.
“too much is subjective therefore it doesn’t matter.” true love was not in the cards for a man like julian but leading the princess on, giving her crumbs here and there could still prove beneficial. nothing sealed a person’s devotion like blind love and he was more than confident he could ask her to do almost anything and she would if she thought it would get him to love her back. “he’s not much fun either. no doubt he’s against the big takeover, i wouldn’t be surprised if he’s part of that movement rumors are starting on about.” things were still very quiet but he heard a couple whispers of gatherings of people against the new queen. for now it was all talk and nothing concrete but being close with an ak and a princess at that with a dedicated brother, he had a feeling she might give him the biggest clue if there was an validity to those rumors. that was if her brother was actually still speaking with her after she made her allegiances clear.
“Why do our conversations always lead to the conclusion that one day I’ll be forced to revive you from death?” Teasing or serious sentiment, her tone would reveal nothing to indicate either stance. There was a good chance, however, that it was both. It was true, what he’d said. The two of them were so different, and in such key ways that it often left her questioning what had drawn them towards each other in the first place. It was enough to tug her lips into the barest of smiles. “Call me when there are corpses. I do so love the stench of death.” A fact many found off putting, regardless of their own desire for bloodshed. “When the battles begin, will you be sure to include my babies?” She referred to gwythaints, the only things she’d ever outwardly shown any true affection. “They’re deserving of a good feast.”
“Assuming I’ll ever die,” he mused. “Or perhaps I’ll die more than once. Magic is so unpredictable.” His expression had become uncharacteristically serious, he rarely joked about magic. Maybe the only lesson he had taken from his father was that black magic was a cruel mistress and to keep her happy was the only priority above self preservation. “You know I’ll have you on speed dial.” His grin returned even wider at the mention of her precious pets. “Of course! Your adorable beasties will get a full buffet,” he promised with a wink. They may not be fond of him but he actually admired the creatures since they had captured the affection of a woman like Helena.
“love the new look,” he remarked with a grin. the princess that he had lied to, betrayed in every sense of the word and crushed her heart, she was standing in front of him with nothing but longing in her dark eyes. it was a powerful feeling to have somebody so enamored with you even after he had proved she was nothing more than a pawn to him. it was also annoying at times when she got persistent about procuring his affection again. “what’s big bro think of it?” the older white had never liked him even when he still had his atrocious mask of goodness on so he took great joy in imaging how much the man must hate him now.
“why have you called me here?” the male looked the other over. “i must return to the king. i can not be too far from him for very long.” his hand rested on the hilt of his dagger, crystal hues watching the other with a wary look. he was more concerned with why the other was on castle grounds. he wasn’t aware that any guests were to arrive and he wasn’t a guard, that was for sure.
“awe you didn’t miss my beautiful face? i missed yours.” he pouted mockingly before his lips twisted into a wicked grin. “don’t worry, you can go back to being his boy toy soon. wouldn’t want him getting angry.” he chuckled before finally explaining what he wanted from the other. “i need you to get me something from the castle.”
“You’re too hung up on the methods of acquisition.” Her token response whenever he denied her offer with claims of it being a hand out or too easy. Helena would never understand his need to make everything a challenge worthy of a story to be retold. Another roll of her eyes was given at his insistence for chaos. So different the two were, and yet Julian was one of very few she would call a friend. Though never aloud. “I tire of perpetual chaos. It was the norm on the Isle, and I am bored of it. I’m not saying I want songbirds waking me in the morning, but I do prefer the still silence of death to all of this.” There was a reason she had called for the removal of all living souls from Annuvin, helping it live up to its title of the Land of Death.
“Maybe, maybe I just like a challenge,” he mused with a crooked grin. It was less about merit and fully to do with excitement. Julian treated life like an action movie and it made him a danger to anyone that failed to follow his narrative. Not unless they made the narrative more interesting. “That’s where you and I just don’t click, but whatever. There will be plenty of death in the aftermath of everything, whether I cause it or not.” This whole takeover would lead to nothing but bloodshed, he was sure of that and while he kept his mouth shut in front of the sea witch, he highly doubted she would make it out alive. Heavy was the head that wore the crown.
He’s taking fries even as her plate was pushed his way, a roll of her eyes at his impatience for her to answer. Not that she had suspected he’d wait. “Annuvin is my birthright, so you will leave me that, though I’d be willing to share Prydain as we’ve discussed in the past.” Helena had never truly wanted the space to begin with, seeking only to reclaim her home. Her father’s wishes to take both were her only true reason for not giving their rival’s country over entirely. “You should choose a kingdom near the ocean. Water access will be key when the chaos settles down and we fall into a calmer society. Trading, y’know?”
“And that’s a generous offer but I’ve also told you I have to at least attempt my own evil scheme before I take hand outs.” Not that it really mattered to Julian in the end. If someone wanted to question how he acquired whatever land he would someday rule, he would have many answers to give and none would be given with mercy. “Trading and defense. If we’re lucky the chaos won’t ever settle, not completely. If it does I’ll just start a war or something when the peace gets boring.” The words sounded careless and like he had given them the same amount of thought a child does as to which toy they would play. However, he meant every word and he was most dangerous when boredom encroached upon him.
“ yeah, so the whole marriage plot fell through since uma took over but i figured -- ” he paused, pointing to the rest of her uneaten fries with a you gonna eat that look ? before he took a few. “ anyways, i figured since we can basically do whatever we want without the boy king or his regime getting in the way, i would just take my pick of whatever kingdom i wanted.” finishing his explanation, he chewed on the fries with the disposition of starving man even though he had already eaten all of his own burger and fries.
( ADAM DIMARCO, 22, HE/HIM )┊seems like JULIAN TEACH has left the isle to come over to auradon. they are the child of BLACKBEARD and have TWO SIBLINGS. i’ve heard they’re known to be STRATEGIC + WILY. rumor has it they HAVE teamed up with the villains. maybe we should keep an eye on this one.
BIO.
the son of the most feared pirate on the seas, every tale about his father claims he has “the blackest soul and darkest heart of any pirate who ever lived.” the man killed his own men and turned them into zombies just as a reminder to uphold his terrifying reputation. being raised by that kind of man definitely left its mark on julian.
julian has no idea who his mother is but he suspects its one of the witches that helped his father learn black magic. he was born with magic in his veins, a trait he knows his father is envious of because despite all his knowledge and power, he knows julian’s natural talents will surpass him someday.
his relationship with his dad was complicated to say the least, the black hearted man protected his children and he wanted to keep them innocent for as long as possible but when it came to julian, he could not give the magical child up to raised by strangers and there were little to no options on the isle that would have been any better. instead, julian was left in the care of his crew who were a wily bunch but still had more heart than their captain.
however, since some of that crew include zombies, julian really had no hope of turning out less than odd. he grew up with a dark nature, one that flourished in the presence of pirates and by the time he reached his teen years, his father had to often reprimand him for injuring or even killing crew members. he got away with a lot due to being the captain’s son but he rarely ever asked his father for help.
julian knew early on he would have to make his own reputation, he would only become weak if he depended on his father. he has a genius intellect when it comes strategizing and manipulation and even more dangerous, his heart was as black his father’s despite blackbeard’s intentions to have his loyalty.
julian is loyal to no one but himself, his greatest desire is to posses power that will grant him whatever he wants. he had intended to go to auradon to take advantage of any royal next in line to inherit a decent sized kingdom and marry them, staying with them long enough until they had an untimely accident and he would become the sole ruler of the kingdom. from there he would do whatever his black heart desired, amass wealth, start wars, increase the powers of his black magic, anything he wanted.
that plan was derailed when uma took over auradon and now he has decided to team up with villains, having doubted that they would have made it this far before. now that he has teamed up with them, his only goal is to add to the chaos and evil since he basically has free reign to do as he pleases so long as he doesn’t mess with uma’s plans. however, it can’t be forgotten that his real loyalty is still only to himself.
WANTED CONNECTIONS / PLOTS.
blackmail ; a sneaky / manipulative guy like him definitely has dirt on quite a few people that he keeps to himself so that he has leverage over them if he ever needs it.
betrayed fiance ; i would love it if he was actually pretty close to achieving his initial goal and was engaged to a royal he tricked into falling in love with him (possibly some of his black magic was involved) but he dumped them when uma took over and there was no longer any point to it
allies ; these are allies born out of necessity, they both understand that they would betray each other if it helped their own wants.
good influence ; this is a person that for whatever reason is set on seeing good in him that may or may not exist and trying to bring it out. be aware that if he does have a good side, it will not be easy to bring it out and he will never truly be good. he may develop a soft spot for this person or just find them annoying depending on their approach.
enemies ; he’s bound to have plenty of enemies, people that he’s burned in the past or people that hate him because he’s hurt or used someone they cared about in the past.
hook ups ; he’s still a guy with needs and very pansexual, he’ll sleep with anyone he finds attractive and willing.
toxic relationship ; if he’s ever felt love, it’s very assured that he will never let go and this will not be a healthy feeling for anyone involved. even worse, if this feeling is returned it’s bound to lead to some unhealthy codependency and possible obsession.
