ELIAS DURAND. thirty-two, noctis circle witch, #sleepuntil11club !
TRIGGER WARNINGS: captivity, torture mention, death.
meet elias! the (current) eldest of the durand clan who has never given off the impression once in his life. a laidback dude with a way of looking at the world that almost makes you jealous, elias is warm, patient, and forgiving (and makes a mean vegan chocolate fudge cake).
heโs definitely considered the heart by most people who know him. he follows it, he listens to it, he nurtures it. this makes him pretty impulsive too, and he doesnโt care to spend time on anything that makes him or those that he loves unhappy.
elias was raised by two very devout dark witches, and has an appreciation for his craft that might not be at first evident. he owns a small, rooftop garden in the city where he raises each and every animal for sacrifice by hand. he believes in giving them fulfilling lives to imbue them with even more power, and this sort of belief echoes in everything he does. heโs a vegan, he avoids pollution by walking wherever he goes, and heโs likes to live as zero waste as possible. whilst you might think he has the mindset of a light witch, elias firmly believes his actions help him be a much more effective dark witch.
his grandfather had been an important figure in eliasโ life. having been subject to intense persecution for nearly every part of his being, his grandfather instilled in elias to not be afraid of death, but to welcome it like an old friend. to live life without consequence and to love freely. that has been eliasโ mantra for as long as heโs lived, his grandfatherโs words ringing true in his ears more often than he even realises.
he has an immense wanderlust bug. he started travelling as soon as he left high school at age eighteen, not wanting to attend college and condemn himself to more years of education. through this he learned the dark magic ways of plenty of other circles out there in the world, fascinated by the small differences that made big impacts. heโs a lover of culture and travel, and itโs always been hard to keep this dreamer held down.
being such a beacon of positivity and adventure, however, has not protected elias from harm. on his travels when he was 25 years old, elias was unexpectedly caught by witch hunters, who had first descended upon him simply for the colour of his skin, then relished in the fact he wasnโt human either. he was caught, subject to brutal conditions, transported from place to place as the hunters sought someone who would pay them greatly for the blood of a witch. the details of his escape to this day are still fuzzy and vague in his mind, but thereโs said to be a boiling crater somewhere in the south of france, forever etched with the blood of far too many men to count. he doesnโt speak about it in detail to many, he says he doesnโt like to dwell on the negative, but he isnโt sure heโs even able to discuss it.
he works at the local dispensary & really loves his job because he gets to make peoples lives better and take away their pain.
he LOVES his family more than anything in the world. even on their off days, elias loves them to bits and is faultlessly loyal.ย
HEATH HEARTFIELD. twenty-five, hunter, dumb bitch.
TRIGGER WARNINGS: physical abuse.
heath! what is there to say about heath! massive asshole, is the first thing. a weathered hunter despite being just twenty five, heath is no sweetheart, having little patience for anyone or anything besides his job. raised by a monster to become something much worse, heโs a pretty nasty piece of work.
whilst heath was growing up and learning the ways of hunting, his father would constantly pit him against his twin sister, petra. whilst siblings should usually unite and stand together against their common enemy, heath chose to take a much darker path, falling victim to his fatherโs brainwashing, seeing his twin as his enemy. his arrogance and his pride laid the path for a horrible world view. heath always had to win. he always had to be right. he always had to be the strongest.
his father had never laid a hand on him until he was eighteen years of age, when his sister had finally surpassed him, and his father saw him as truly weak for the first time ever. whatever brotherly love heath had managed to retain for his sister was gone. it was beaten out of him over a brutal 6 hour session and he was never quite the same. his main focus from that point on was survival, by any means necessary. hunting for him isnโt a job, itโs a way of survival. he survives by pleasing his father, and his father is pleased only if the blood of non-humans paints heathโs skin.
despite hunting being a large part of his life, heath also has a degree in computer science, done at a university in another state as part of a much larger, undercover mission for his father. even his own accomplishments, things he should be wildly proud of, were pushed to the side.ย
he doesnโt have an actual job, to most he says heโs unemployed or working random bar jobs and heโs too caustic for people to probe any further, instead heโs always on call to his father.ย
despite elias being the one who works at the dispensary, heathโs the stoner. heโs unable to sleep without a joint every night and itโs one of the few things he allows himself to keep from his family. he often finds his mind racing, and for him the drug slows him down just enough to allow him to get about five hours of much needed rest.
when it comes to love and friendships, heath isnโt entirely impenetrable, heโs just insanely unlikable, and this tends to turn people away. however, people that have been in heathโs life for a long time are treated to an ever so slightly different side of him. they gain glimpses of the boy who once loved to skateboard, who once painted strange rocks he found on the street and hid them beneath the floorboards of the family home, the boy who has a penchant for sweet things and the smell of lavender. there are many things about heath that make him human, theyโve just been expertly hidden.
