━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ ( charlie gillespie, he/him ) is that MADDOX WALLIS i just spotted in blackfalls? i hear they’re a 22 year-old HUMAN studying ART. i’ve heard that they’re RESOURCEFUL & PASSIONATE but can also be PARANOID & DENSE.
( stats. )
full name: maddox aspen wallis
nickname(s): mads, maddy
age & birthday: 22, october 7th
gender & preferred pronouns: cis man, he/him
sexual & romantic orientation: pansexual, panromantic
siblings: ember wallis (sister - age 30), meadow wallis (sister - age 33), coral wallis (sister - age 37)
( quick headcanons. )
ever since maddox was little, he’s been a bit of a handful - to put it lightly. his mother always had difficulty with getting him to stay inside, no matter what the weather was, and as soon as he was old enough to figure out how to put up a tent, he spent most of his time in the woods behind the wallis’s house, unless his parents forced him inside. even then, sneaking out was pretty common for him, especially during his teenage years.
though it’s only been a decade since supernatural creatures became public knowledge, maddox has always been a firm believer. despite being told he was crazy multiple times as a kid, he never gave up hope, not even for a second, and was absolutely ecstatic when the truth came out, for once proving one of his many wacky conspiracies right.
school isn’t something maddox is really at all interested in - his severe dyslexia and adhd have always made it a challenge for him - not to mention the having to sit inside for hours at a time, but the opportunity to be surrounded by the creatures he’s always admired pushed him to pursue turning his teenage vandalism hobby into something creative.

( the pinterest board has a different name because both the first and surname of this oc were already in use here, but he’s the same character, just with a different name to avoid confusion! )
i don’t really have any specific wanted connections, but please let maddox fill yours!
if you’re interested in plotting with him, just give this post a little like and i’ll shoot you a dm! :)
━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ ( dominic sherwood, he/him/his ) is that LUKE HUNT i just spotted in blackfalls? i hear they’re a 26 / 26 year-old WEREWOLF ( TRIGGERED ) studying MUSIC. i’ve heard that they’re DRIVEN & RESILIENT but can also be JEALOUS & DISTRUSTING.
Hey everyone, Marie here and back at it again! This time, I present you with Luke Hunt, a recently triggered werewolf from NYC who fled to Blackfalls to finish his music degree. He’s ambitious and determined to make his dreams a reality, but he tends to believe the worst in people, and gaining his trust isn’t easy.
Prior to moving to Blackfalls, Luke rarely left New York City. He loved the big city feel, and getting used to Blackfalls has been no easy task.
He was in a band in the city and is definitely looking to start one here too. Eventually, he’d like to pursue that as a career, but for now, he’s content with it being a hobby while he earns his degree.
Luke is used to having to bail himself out of trouble. His particular combination of jealousy and bravery have gotten him into trouble on more than one occasion. As much as he hates it, he takes the consequences in stride and usually doesn’t rely on anyone to get him out of trouble.
He generally believes that everyone is out for themselves and that they have the worst intentions. Luke’s trust has to be earned, and it’s not easily given. If he thinks you’re using him or lying, he’ll call you out in a usually not so nice way.
He’s incredibly passionate about the things and people he cares about, which often clouds his judgement.
Romantic relationships have always been a bit difficult for him because his trust is so hard to earn. It’s easier to leave before he gets left or before someone proves themselves to be untrustworthy. In the past few relationships he’s been in, he felt like he was more in love and dedicated than the women he was involved with, and he hated it. So, unless the right person comes along, he genuinely sticks to short-lived flings and hook ups.
I’ll have a full biography and connections page up this week, but for now, feel free to slip into my IM’s if you have an idea! As always, I’m also down to just jump into interactions and assume connections.
━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ ( theo james, he/his ) is that ELIAS FITZ i just spotted in blackfalls? i hear they’re a 34 / 704 year-old VAMPIRE teaching in HISTORY. i’ve heard that they’re CURIOUS & OPEN-MINDED but can also be RECKLESS & FLIGHTY. ( marie, 25, est, she/her )
Hey all! I’m Marie and this is Elias, who usually goes by Eli. He’s a curious vampire who is fascinated by the world around him. He’s flighty and not always the most reliable, but he’s generally fun and charming when he is around - unless you try to lock him down or keep him in one place. Be careful though, because even though he makes an honest living these days, he’s known to pull a scam or two to “supplement” his income.
Elias was turned by his vampire lover when the black death came to his village in the mid 1300′s. He had no idea what she was before she bit him.
He stayed with her for a while and learned the ropes of vampirehood, but ultimately, he resented her too much for taking away his choice of living or dying, and he left.
For a long time, Eli struggled with having to harm humans to survive. He went through a period of time where he would try to go as long as possible without fulfilling his thirst, hoping that he could train himself to need less.
This, of course, backfired. It made him weak and desperate to quench his thirst. He killed a number of human acquaintances and lovers. He had to flee a number of cities to avoid suspicion.
With the help of vampires he met during his travels in those early years, he mostly came to terms with what he was and what was necessary.
He’s still hesitant to develop close friendships with humans due to the wrongs of his past. He almost never takes human lovers.
For most of the past 600 or so years, Elias has travelled the world. He loves to be at the center of action - whether it’s good or bad. He never had any problem lying, stealing, or cheating to get money for his adventures.
Around 1950, he decided to try to make an honest living. He’s been writing books about his travels under different pen names since then.
He’s still a cheat, though. He’s always up for a scam or some trickery, whether it’s large scale fraud or petty theft.
He thinks humans are absolutely fascinating, and he’s genuinely curious about the way history seems to repeat itself. He’s always down for a chat about history or where he thinks the world is headed.
Elias is extremely restless. He never stays in one place too long, and because of that, he’s never developed many close relationships. While he definitely has some friends, he’s never felt compelled to stay in one place with them.
He cherishes his freedom above all else and never wants anyone or anything to control him. He doesn’t like feeling tied down or like he doesn’t have a choice.
However, he isn’t immune to loneliness. There are times when he craves the stability. If he met the right person or people who didn’t suffocate him, he might be willing to sacrifice a little of his personal freedom...but that’s a situation that’s never presented itself.
He’s beyond excited to share his perspective and experiences with students of all different species. He’s been carefully watching the repercussions of supernaturals being revealed to the humans, and he thinks that this school is a great place to create stronger bonds between the species.
However, this is first time in a long time that he’s made a commitment to stay in one place for longer than a few months. Deep down, Eli knows it’s only a matter of time before he gets that itch to run away.
You can find Eli’s full bio HERE. I’m big on chemistry based connections, and I’m pretty much down for anything as long as it fits for Eli’s personality/habits! I’m always down to hear out ideas and all of that, so if you’ve got something in mind or want to brainstorm, please don’t be afraid to message me. If you’d rather just assume connections, I’m good to roll with that too. I know sometimes it’s easier to just throw roles together and see where the muse takes us!
━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ ( adria arjona, she/her ) is that BLAIR RIPLEY i just spotted in blackfalls? i hear they’re a 27 / 27 year-old GIFTED HUMAN ( TACTILE PRECOGNITION ) teaching in ENGLISH LITERATURE. i’ve heard that they’re INTELLIGENT & OBSERVANT but can also be RECKLESS & EMBITTERED.
tw: death, fire
she was born in little old blackfalls, bc. this was her home. always had been. minus a few odd years, but we’ll get to that soon.
blair was a fairly quiet child and when she was four she made her first accurate prediction about a kid injuring themselves. it made all the other kids suspect her the villain, the cause of the injury. but little blair was no where near the scene of the crime. her father knew a few of the other children who were gifted humans as well but they all manifested physical powers that showed visibly. blair was the only one with the psychic gift. as such she was an outcast of the small coven her father had belonged to.
she realized in her own time that this gift was as much a burden as it was a blessing. she predicted her parents divorce, the fall of her father’s coven, the passing of each and every grandparent, the rekindling of her parents and so on and so forth. it was rarely a helpful gift, but with time it was manageable and eventually, so close to her that she didn’t quite know how to distinguish herself from that gift.
once she was a teenager the magical world was revealed. although, already knowing this, she was more than a little underwhelmed. but it allowed her to open up and begin to flourish, bit by bit.
the one time the gift was especially helpful, was also the only time it wasn’t. blair had seen the fire a few days before. that’s why when her parents were out of town for the weekend, she stayed out of the house all night. when she returned to see the wreckage she learned the truth. her parents had returned late that night after yet another fight. they had arrive just as the fire begun and worried about their homebound daughter. they weren’t able to be saved from that fire.
blair set out to live with a distant relative in england for the next few years. she found herself over there. while it was heartbreaking at first, time was the only remedy. she lives life as freely as she sees fit these days but finds she’s still, at her very core, bound by the visions which pepper her life with rules.
she returned to work for the school n that’s it honestly. she’s here to talk myths yo
wc:
she would love the have someone who is renting her the house she’s staying in!!!
anyone who else was ever from blackfalls lmao

someone who she keeps having visions about when she touches things that have nothing to do with them!!
someone who she never sees in visions and is like wtf
━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ ( katherine mcnamara, she/her ) is that XYLIA THISTLEBANE i just spotted in blackfalls? i hear they’re a 24 / 346 year-old FAE studying PERFORMANCE ARTS. i’ve heard that they’re VIVACIOUS & INQUISITIVE but can also be IRREPRESSIBLE & CAPRICIOUS.
Like all fae, Xylia was born in Avalon, and there she remained until just recently. This is her first foray out into the human world, and she intends to make the best of it. She’s very curious and adventurous, and while she didn’t exactly leave Avalon by choice, she wants to experience all the things she couldn’t in Avalon. Her family is financing her stay in the human world, as long as she attends university, hence why she finds herself in Blackfalls. She isn’t particularly invested in her studies and often flakes on her classes, particularly when she finds something more interesting to get up to.
Xylia’s family is very well regarded in Avalon and they’re wealthy in the human world, but she’s something of a black sheep in the family. They basically sent her to Corvus University to keep her out of trouble while she’s here.
She never thinks things through to the consequences of her actions, and she’s gotten herself into a fair bit of trouble that her family usually bails her out of. She only came to the human world to escape her latest scandal, an affair with someone she should not have been in bed with.
Flighty and easily distracted, Xylia often flits from one shiny thing to the next without a care in the world. She can be selfish and inconsiderate with other people’s feelings, unintentionally breaking hearts along the way.
She’s not big on commitments, she likes to love freely and deeply but doesn’t like to feel tied down to anyone. She hates feeling like she owes anyone, or that they might have some hold over her.
Xylia’s not much of a scholar, but she does love to put on a show, hence why she’s a Performing Arts major. She loves to be the center of attention, and will go to great lengths to secure the spotlight.

━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ ( jamie chung, she/her ) is that FREYA KWON i just spotted in blackfalls? i hear they’re a 32/32 year-old WITCH teaching in COMPUTER SCIENCE. i’ve heard that they’re INDEPENDENT & RESOURCEFUL but can also be REBELLIOUS & SARCASTIC.
wow.. a round of applause for me finally finishing all my intros???
BACKGROUND ;
Raised by her aunt, from a young age Freya had been told horrible stories about their family. All a bunch of lies, of course. But she was young and didn’t have a choice but to believe her. The two belonged to a small coven of witches that kept to themselves and their little community.
Freya, along with a few of the other kids around her age, was homeschooled and completely isolated. It’s all she really knew and she was to not question it.
Her aunt was different, [as were the other witches in the coven] she couldn’t practice magic in the same way that Freya naturally could. She had to borrow some of Freya’s in order to teach the young girl how to use hers. It was very draining constantly having her magic stolen for educational purposes.
Then it started happening more frequently. Whenever Freya talked back, misbehaved, made a mistake or just did anything in general that upset her aunt it would result in Freya having her magic siphoned. Then it would be another witch from the coven that would borrow from Freya as well. Because sharing is caring.
But Freya wasn’t the only normal witch, the other kids around her age were in the same predicament as herself.
Of course she started to rebel little by little against her aunt and question the others motifs. Eventually she went around snooping in places she had no business in which led her to find out she’d been taken from her parents rather than given away. She had absolutely no idea who she’d been raised by and she had a reason the other kids had been taken as well.
Freya was under a cloaking spell that prevented her family from finding her and it was up to her to find out how the hell to undo it without her ‘aunt’ becoming suspicious of her.
It took some time to figure out that the only person that could undo this was the one that cast it. Undoing the spell was completely out of the question when she figured it could only be undone by the one who cast it. She got her hands on a locator spell instead to find her family. Freya scrapped together what little money she had saved, even confided in the few actual witches that were also stuck for whatever money they had. Promised them that she’d come back for them.
Turns out she comes from a long line of powerful witches [which was why her ‘aunt’ had taken her] and the oldest of 6. Her parents were happy to have her back and being a woman of her word, Freya did come back for her friends with witchy reinforcements and the coven of siphoners had been dealt with.
Adapting to life with her actual family and the outside world was tough. It took some time to grow trust with her relatives or get used to being the oldest sister while dealing with actual family drama.
The Kwon’s were something else, full with much more coven drama than she had originally anticipated or hoped for. But they were family and Freya had no choice but to unfortunately strap in for the ride.
When she heard about Corvus opening for humans and the supernatural, Freya saw it as an opportunity to start anew. What could possibly go wrong?
━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ ( sofia carson, she/her ) is that LORAINE MORENO i just spotted in blackfalls? i hear they’re a 24 / 118 year-old VAMPIRE studying ART. i’ve heard that they’re ADVENTUROUS & DETERMINED but can also be SELF-DESTRUCTIVE & SECRETIVE. ( annie, 19, gmt+2, she/her )
Hello friends!! I’m Annie, a certified dumbass and a college student, though clearly my professors aren’t giving me enough work... (jk i’m drowning in assignments, i just pretend i do not see it) and this is Loraine who I adore but who is also a big meanie
TWs: mentions of death and murder!! Please proceed with caution!!
𝟏. 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐓𝐇 𝐁𝐄 𝐓𝐎𝐋𝐃, Loraine doesn’t remember much of her early life. At this point, most of her memories are bare flashes through her mind. It was all good - that she’s certain of - up until her mom died in an accident. Her father wasn’t the same ever since, his eyes were vacant and he barely spoke. He left one day and Lori never saw him, after that. She moved to stay with her aunt and although she took care of Loraine it was pretty clear that it was something she did out of pure obligation.
𝟐. 𝐋𝐎𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐒 𝐀𝐋𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒 been really easy to provoke but instead of growing out of it, she actually embraced it. If the word and the people who inhabited it were pure shit, why should she try to be anything different? She was mean and she started fights over the smallest of things, though she was terrible at finishing them. No matter, she got up and dusted herself off.
𝟑. 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐀𝐔𝐍𝐓 was no exception and the two of them fought pretty often. At the end of the day, Loraine rely on herself and herself only and she simply couldn’t wait until she moved out. She did, eventually, and she quite enjoyed living on her own. But you know, her temper had still not calmed down and eventually, when she was twenty-four, she messed with the wrong kinds of people. Though, they weren’t even people, were they? The vampires drank most of her blood and left her to die like that. That’s when another vampire (see wanted connections) noticed her and took pity on the dying girl, making sure she had some of their blood so she wouldn’t actually die.
𝟒. 𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐖𝐎𝐊𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐃𝐀𝐘 even more messed up than before. The faces of the vampires that did that to her were ingrained in her mind and the desire for revenge was what fueled her for a long time. Loraine was obsessed with finding them, desperately clinging to any and all clue of their whereabouts. It took many years but she did manage to track them down and kill them.
𝟓. 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐀𝐘 she had no idea what to do with herself after that. Her goal was finished. She traveled throghouht Europe for a few years before settling in Greece for a bit over the past decade. She’s worked night shifts as a bartender and treated it all as a creative break. The mundanity of it all was starting to grow too boring and calm for Loraine so the news of the mixed school piqued her interest and now here she is, looking to spice up her days.
𝐓𝐋𝐃𝐑 ; Loraine is a shit-stirrer with a short-fuse, despite the fact that she couldn’t fight for shit. It eventually got her killed and she spent a good bunch of her life chasing after the people who left her to die to get her revenge. She’s been pretty lost and confused afterwards and is subconsciouslly looking for a new purpose in life.
S O M E T H I N G E X T R A
𝐈. To elaborate on her self-destructive tendencies, Lori runs on self-hate a lot of the time. She likes to push herself to her limits by doing dumb shit i.e. trying to see how much time she can really go without blood.
𝐈𝐈. Loraine can be pretty flirty but she avoids actual relationships like the plague. It’s not hard for her to get attached to people but as soon as someone says they like (or God forbid love) her, she shuts down and pushes them away.
𝐈𝐈𝐈. Despite that she can be pretty caring when she genuinely likes someone. She’d do the occasional check up and remind them to take care of themselves in her own special (read: lowkey agressive) way.
𝐈𝐕. Her favorite color is plum and she hates red ever since she was turned. Surprisingly she really likes cutesy, animated movies and The fox and the hound is her all time favorie. ALSO!! She really loves jazz and she is a huge Frank Sinatra fan.
𝐕. Grumpy cat embodied and she doesn’t quite understand memes. If you tell her a pun she will punch you in the face.
𝐕𝐈 . If you click here you will be redirected to her pinterest board !! There are TWs in the description so, again, please proceed with caution.
W A N T E D C O N N E C T I O N S
I am such a sucker for strong platonic bonds!! Loraine is really unfriednly but if for some reason your character has decided to put up with that, I’d love for her to have some friends (especially if they have been friends for a long time)
fHFH any familial relationships, too!!
Also,, I would really love to have the vampire that saved her all those years back. She’s got a lot of respect and admiration for them and, tbh, she would probably follow them to the ends of the world? It can go a lot of ways so yeah!
ENEMIES. Please! She’s horrible so I need some people who dislike her.
Another classic one: friend(s?) with benefits mayhaps.
Maybe some people who she’s decided to take under her wing and decided to adopt a big sister sort of role with them?
