full name; ophelia is the name of the cupid, though her vessel is called francesca burton.

age; 25.

sexuality; bisexual

place of origin; heaven, duh. the vessel comes from florida.

species; a lesser angel known as a cupid. her vessel is a familiar.

+ spunky, loud, adventurous

- cocky, annoying, nosey

backstory;

what backstory is needed? the more angels fall, the more are needed to bolster the ranks. ophelia isn’t a real angel though, her division is more focused on love. that is, make people fall in love, make sure they try again after a broken heart, make couples fall out of it if needed. some couples are part of a larger divine plan - certain people need to be together, certain children need to be born, and sometimes certain people need ugly break-ups. 

she’s not very good at doing all that, though. everytime there’s a sudden spike in divorce rates, scandalous couples, spousal cheating - that’s ophelia who’s a little prone to mischief. she gets in trouble a lot, especially on earth where she inhabits the body of francesca burton, a small time weed farmer and dealer.

ophelia’s been sent to adumreb to watch over her fellow cupid, and as punishment for her latest batch of couples one wrong, as two of them resulted in spousal murder. she’s dangerously close to being let go but doesn’t seem to care as heaven is boring.

connections;

roommates, people who know francesca from back home, little flings, people she annoys and people who can join her in the hunt for figuring out the island.

HEY! IS THAT (LEIGHTON MEESTER) OUT IN THE CRYSTAL WATER? NO, THAT’S JUST (KALLISTO COLLINS), A (35) YEAR OLD, (WITCH) WHO HAS BEEN ON THE ISLAND FOR (A WEEK). WORD AROUND TOWN IS THAT THEY ALIGN WITH (ANDROMEDA), BUT WE’ll NEVER TRULY KNOW. DID THEY CHOOSE THE ISLAND? OR DID THE ISLAND CHOOSE THEM? ONLY TIME WILL TELL.

Name: Kallisto Susan Collins (née Fox)

Nickname(s): Kallie

Birthday: October 29th

Sexuality: Pansexual

Species: Witch

Career: Executive chef

Birthplace: Seattle, Washington

Family: Atlas Fox (father), Mia Fox (mother), Apollo Fox (brother), Warren Collins (husband), Jaxon Collins (son)

Biography

The Fox family has always been prominent in the witch community and their children have often been named after figures from various mythologies or well-known characters from classic literature. Perhaps to suggest that much like their namesakes, they too would leave a lasting impression.

And Kallisto certainly left one. She excelled in her studies, both human and magical plus she exhibited some of the best traits a leader could have. Not to mention her talent for cooking. (Her son Jaxon says she’s an awesome baker too, but that’s more of a hobby.)

Fast forward to her first ever job. After she’d graduated from high school and then college with a bachelor’s in business administration while spending plenty of free time honing her craft, Kallisto got her foot in the door at a prestigious restaurant in Florida. She was part of a crop of new hires fresh out of college who would start from the bottom and hopefully work their way up.

This is where she met Warren. The two of them bonded over being witches from big cities (he hailed from Nashville) and they hit it off. Their coworkers said the two were a dynamic duo, that they just gelled.

The friendship evolved into love over time and before they knew it, the two had gotten married. Sometime later, they welcomed Jaxon into the world. The next ten years seemed to fly by for the family of three.

But as things tend to go in life, the peace couldn’t last forever. While on the way to reunite with Warren and some family friends for a vacation in Puerto Rico, the boat Kallisto and Jaxon were on was shaken up by a storm. Next thing the duo knew, they were on their own in a life raft that would eventually wash up.

It’s been a week since they arrived. Kallisto is doing the best she can to make settling in as smooth as possible for her son as she tries to come up with a new plan for what might be their new normal.

HEY! IS THAT SUMMER BASHIL OUT IN THE CRYSTAL WATER? NO, THAT’S JUST LILITH BLACK, A UNKNOWN/THIRTY-SIX YEAR OLD, DEMON WHO HAS BEEN ON THE ISLAND FOR ONE WEEK. WORD AROUND TOWN IS THAT THEY ARE RUMOURED TO BE LOOKING FOR A FORMER FLAME OF HERS, BUT WE’ll NEVER TRULY KNOW. DID THEY CHOOSE THE ISLAND? OR DID THE ISLAND CHOOSE THEM? ONLY TIME WILL TELL.

I’m am basing this character on a combination of Mazikeen Smith and Lilith from Lucifer with not only some embellishments from general lore, but also some of my own. I’ve linked their bios over their names. 

TW: Mention of alcohol, death. 

It’s not easy to forget the first demons. Powerful, feared and known for being soulless, there weren’t many who found themselves liking them. 

It wasn’t like she was even created for simply being a demon. Lilith was created to be the wife of Adam, the first man. While Adam was hopelessly in love with her, Lilith wanted nothing more than to run away and never see him again. When she saw her opportunity, she took it. When she defied Adam and his father, Lilith was banished from the Garden of Eden and denied the luxuries it offered. 

Lilith spent the next several eons in hell, working alongside Lucifer and occasionally taking to the mortal world to wander around the earth and admiring the pleasures. Why was God so confident that denying her the Garden of Eden would be her undoing? She was quite enjoying her new life, far away from Adam. 

Her job consisted of controlling the damned souls who came through the gates, something she took a skewed pleasure in. Hell was oozing in karma, something that each of these individuals were owed. 

Motherhood never quite suited the demon, believing from the very beginning that her children could fight for themselves and didn’t need her protection. She had simply given them life, it was theres to explore. In many ways, she was right. Amongst her children were the four horsemen, each powerful beyond comparison. 

About thirty years ago, Lilith made the decision to join the mortal world. Her first name was kept the same, but she took on a new surname every ten years or so. She also never stayed in the same place for very long. 

Immortality came with its good and bad qualities. While partying throughout all of time was fun, Lilith couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like to fall in love, settle down and have a life of her own. Was what she was doing truly living?

Lilith has a long history of having a never empty bed, usually filled by one person in particular. The two of them have run into each other every couple of years, and have always ended up waking up next to each other before going their separate ways. Fate just keeps bringing them back together.

Coming to town happened completely on accident, or at least that what she tells people. Part of her couldn’t help but look for that on again off again flame of hers, while the other part was following a rumor that some of her children were also on earth. The fact that they all ended up in the same place, now, that’s an accident.

Lilith’s favorite pastime is still going out, slowly becoming a regular at many of the bars in town. Job-wise, she currently works a couple night shifts at a Gentleman’s Club close to the town’s border. 

10/10 is SUPER protective of the dancers. If a patron tries any funny buisness, she’ll for sure toss them by their shirt collar. She’s been there like four days and already has every single customer scared. 

The demon really struggles with caring about people, so she’s struggling to handle the fact that she’s actually starting to. 

Misc Info

Lilith likes to think that she’s better than sexuality labels. If she meets a hot person, no matter your gender, she’ll hit on you. 

Part of Lilith wonders after observing humans if she has the chance to actually be a mother even though her children are fully grown and thousands of years old. 

She sleeps around a lot. Her bed is rarely empty and it’s usually a different person every single night. 

I’ll add stuff here as it becomes important!

About Seth:

Name: Seth Winifred Species: Angel Designation: Watcher Sexuality: Bisexual Status: Single Age: 27 years old (135 years old)

Seth is one of the few remaining Grigori who still respects and protects humans. He was sent to earth 27 years ago in a recognition mission to learn more about the humans but he liked it so much that he requested to extend his staying from a year to three years.

Even if he had been expected to be back to Heaven years ago, he had kept himself moving and looked for ways to stay among humans.

Four years ago he decided to visit the Caribbean and learn more about the humans on that side of the words but he was caught in a storm that destroyed the cruise he was in and he ended up being captive in Adumreb.

He was quite happy about it because even if God knew where he was, for some mysterious reasons he hadn’t made him go home or removed his grace for his disobedience.

In his years pretending to be a human he discovered food and cooking and immediately fell in love with it. He learned really quickly the beauties of culinary artistry and tries to find jobs food related wherever he goes.

HEY! IS THAT 𝙰𝚅𝙰𝙽  𝙹𝙾𝙶𝙸𝙰 OUT IN THE CRYSTAL WATER? NO, THAT’S JUST 𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐍, A 26/UNKNOWN YEAR OLD,  𝐹𝐴𝑀𝐼𝐿𝐼𝐴𝑅/𝑇𝑅𝐼𝐶𝐾𝑆𝑇𝐸𝑅  𝐻𝑌𝐵𝑅𝐼𝐷 WHO HAS BEEN ON THE ISLAND FOR SIXTEEN YEARS. WORD AROUND TOWN IS THAT THEY ARE RUMOURED TO 𝙽𝙾𝚃  𝚆𝙰𝙽𝚃  𝚃𝙾  𝙵𝙸𝙽𝙳  𝚃𝙷𝙴𝙸𝚁  𝚆𝙸𝚃𝙲𝙷, BUT WE’ll NEVER TRULY KNOW. DID THEY CHOOSE THE ISLAND? OR DID THE ISLAND CHOOSE THEM? ONLY TIME WILL TELL.

here’s  my  goof  crackhead  torin.

truth  is  torin  knows  he’s  old  as  shit  but  he  couldn’t  tell  you  how  old  or  much  about  himself  before  he  came  to  the  island.  every  now  and  then  he  gets  glimpses  of  his  past  but  by  this  point  he  really  just  doesn’t  care  enough  to  pay  attention  to  them.

torin’s  a  familiar  /  trickster  hybrid  which  means  his  familiar  mother  got  it  on  with  his  trickster  father  and  nine  months  later  came  this  asshole.  this  also  explains  his  personality  a  little  better:  torin  does  care,  sure,  doesn’t  everyone  a  little  bit?  but  because  he  hasn’t  found  his  witch  (in  fact,  he  actively  avoids  seeking  them  out)  the  familiar  side  of  himself  is  slowly  fading.  the  fact  that  he’s  a  trickster  gives  him  a  playful  and  sometimes  cruel  personality.  think  of  those  assholes  that  do  pranks  and  not  know  when  to  stop.  so  ratio  wise  it’s  1%  vs  99%

now  you  might  ask,  “lynn,  why  not  just  let  the  man  find  his  witch?”  and  the  answer  to  that  is  his  mother  was  killed  by  her  witch  despite  the  belief  that  witches  and  familiars  have  a  bond  that  can’t  be  broken.  he’s  not  sure  why  her  witch  did  it  but  torin  thinks  the  process  is  pretty  shitty  and  he  doesn’t  want  to  be  bound  to  someone  he’d  give  his  life  for  but  they  wouldn’t  do  the  same  for  him.  plus,  it’s  rumored  familiars  have  to  what  their  person  tells  them  to  and  he’s  pretty  a-okay  with  the  freedom  he  has  now.

he  came  to  the  island  sixteen  years  ago  and  seemingly  hasn’t  aged  since.  every  year  he  just  picks  a  spot  on  the  island  to  fuck  around  so  no  one  pays  attention  to  the  said  fact.  he  didn’t  care  enough  to  figure  out  if  it’s  the  case  for  everyone  else.

back  when  tony  came  to  the  island,  he  pretty  much  said  “get  in  bitch,  we’re  going  thieving.”  and  that’s  that.  they  run  with  people  who  get  up  to  thieving,  asshole  things,  etc  and  live  together  in  an  abandon  carnival-esque  place.  one  of  those  people  is  also  lilith.  they’re  pretty  close  which  is  pretty  bad  for  everyone  else  they  terrorize.

torin  likes  to  make  drinks  so  if  you’re  a  human,  hide  ya  liver.  his  drinks  will  fuck  you  up  and  if  you’ve  got  a  species  with  a  quick  dry  rate  he’ll  play  around  to  make  something  that  makes  them  drop.

further  character  inspo  can  be  found  here  x.

my name is lynn and i am literal garbage for doing that reply first and this second but yolo.

booker,  as  he  likes  to  be  called,  is  actually  linus  b.  gatlin.  any  guesses  as  to  what  his  middle  name  is?  anybody?  linus  was  actually  the  name  of  his  mother’s  grandfather  whom  she  loved  dearly.  while  he  loved  that  his  mother  was  sentimental,  he  never  met  the  man  and  while  he  wasn’t  on  the  ranch  /  at  home  his  nickname  was  that  of  his  middle  name:  booker. don’t  ask,  he  doesn’t  know  either.

he  grew  up  human  in  the  backhills  of  oregon;  aka  god’s  land  to  some.  he  is  the  middle  son  of  sons  of  a  rancher  and  his  wife.  james  was  his  big  brother  and  aiden  was  his  little  brother.  growing  up  on  a  ranch,  they  were  all  pretty  close.

booker  played  baseball  during  his  childhood  and  teen  years  but  once  he  graduated  high  school  he  stopped  playing.

the  reason  for  this  is  the  fact  that  he  knew  the  ranch  would  need  him  and  college  wasn’t  in  the  cards;  even  though  he  never  told  anyone,  he  did  get  scholarship  offers.  the  reason  he  declined  them?  he  didn’t  feel  that  smart  compared  to  james  and  aiden,  and  knew  if  anyone  would  go  to  college  it  would  be  them.

booker  looked  up  to  their  father  despite  their  mother’s  hope  he  would  take  after  her.  "𝚐𝚒𝚟𝚎  𝚖𝚎  𝚘𝚗𝚎  𝚜𝚘𝚗!"  the  reason  is  that  their  father  was  broody  and  quiet,  which  rubbed  off  on  all  of  the  boys.  it’s  partially  why  he  thought  he’d  take  over  the  ranch  one  day.

 he’d  like  to  say  he  was  close  to  his  brothers.  growing  up  on  a  ranch  in  the  middle  of  nowhere  often  means  making  your  own  fun  --  whether  it’s  stealing  the  truck  to  go  swimming  or  whatever  else  country  kids  got  up  to.  sure,  he’d  tease  them  and  fight  them  but  if  anyone  hurt  them,  booker  would  be  the  first  to  find  his  baseball  bat  or  fight  the  person. 

DEATH  TW  /  ATTACK  TW:  up  until  fifteen  years  ago,  he  was  content  with  the  life  he  had  except  he  had  no  idea  how  in  a  blink  of  an  eye  everything  could  change.  his  little  brother  transformed  and  without  control,  attacked  the  other  gatlins.  their  mother,  father  and  james  were  killed  whereas  booker  wasn’t  so  lucky.  he  not  only  survived  but  lived  through  the  pain  and  the  trauma  of  the  attack.  booker  didn’t  want  to  live  and  despite  this,  he  did.  when  it  was  his  turn  to  transform,  booker  at  least  lost  control  by  himself  (and  it  gave  him  the  knowledge  that  aiden  didn’t  attack  them  to  be  an  asshole.)

ALCOHOLISM  /  SURVIVORS  GUILT  /  NIGHTMARES  /  PTSD:  booker  remembers  the  attack  well.  while  he  didn’t  sell  the  ranch  or  move  away,  he  eventually  declared  the  house  off  limits  for  ranch  hands  and  himself  alike.  instead  he  moved  into  the  ranch’s  trailer.  sometimes  he’d  go  in  the  house  but  after  awhile  he  stopped.  he  instead  found  himself  drinking,  trying  to  ease  the  pain  and  emotions  that  come  from  the  attack.  the  truth  is,  booker  thought  he  hated  aiden  but  he  didn’t.  he  lives  with  the  knowledge  that  the  only  person  out  there  that  could  understand  doesn’t  want  to  be  around  him  (not  realizing  aiden  thought  he  was  dead  too  rather  than  simply  leaving.)

as  far  as  the  island  goes,  he  doesn’t  remember  how  he  went  from  the  ranch  to  the  island  but  now  that  he’s  here,  he’s  at  least  trying  to  make  sense  of  it  all.

HEY! IS THAT (BRIE LARSON) OUT IN THE CRYSTAL WATER? NO, THAT’S JUST (CASSIDY JONES), A (31) YEAR OLD, (HUNTER) WHO HAS BEEN ON THE ISLAND FOR (2 DAYS). WORD AROUND TOWN IS THAT THEY ARE RUMOURED TO (HAVE AN ANGEL NAMED SHAWN HITCHING A RIDE IN HER VESSEL), BUT WE’ll NEVER TRULY KNOW. DID THEY CHOOSE THE ISLAND? OR DID THE ISLAND CHOOSE THEM? ONLY TIME WILL TELL. 

Hey guys! I’m Lynds and this is Cassidy, my messed up little hunter child.  There’s a more extensive bio for her here (if you feel up to reading a novel), but here’s a little intro! 

-Cassidy’s father made a demon deal to get a promotion for his job a few years before she was born.  When her and her brother, Cody, were both still pretty young, her father quit his job and moved them west to try to figure out how to break the deal so he could have more time with his kids.

-After a couple of years of successfully dodging the demon, things caught up with the family.  A different demon possessed Cassidy, killing her mother while the hellhounds finally caught up with her father.

-A pair of hunters found Cassidy walking on the side of the road two days after her mother’s death.  They took her and Cody to some friends who had experience in raising kids affected by supernatural occurrences.  

-Cassidy started trying to run away to hunt when she was twelve, prompting her adoptive parents to bring one of the hunters in to talk to her.  After a bit of a stare-down, he agreed to teach her and at sixteen, she dropped out of school and left for good.

-She met an angel named Eddie on a hunt one day and the two became close very quickly.  They got married before splitting up after Eddie came to a realization about himself.  Even though the two of them ended things on good terms, she still misses him.

-In the course of hunting, she’s met many different supernatural ‘players’: demons, vampires, werewolves, shapeshifters, and angels.  On one particular hunt, she was badly injured after making a wrong move and an angel named Shawn came to the rescue, healing her after she gave him permission to use her vessel.  It wasn’t a move she’d normally make, but she was desperate. 

Some quick little things about Cassidy:

-She’s very new to the island -She doesn’t really know why she was drawn to the island, only that she was.  -Doesn’t always play well with others -Don’t call her Cassie unless you’re her brother or she will throttle you.  Cass is fine, though -Has a ball python named Rat
