BASICS
𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒆 : nina marie sayers
𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 : “ little girl ” / “ sea of bitterness ” or “ exalted one ” / “ to say ” or “ victory ”
𝒂𝒈𝒆 : twenty-eight ( b. 20 March, 1992 in New York City, NY, United States of America )
𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 : cis female ( she / her pronouns )
𝒔𝒆𝒙𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚 : bisexual
APPEARANCE
𝒇𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒄𝒍𝒂𝒊𝒎 : natalie portman
𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 : 5 ft 2 in ( 158 cm )
𝒃𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅 : underweight
𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒆 : outside of the company, comfort-oriented & conservative style, generally favouring light and pastel colours, but a certainly physical sense of metamorphosis as time goes on.
PERSONALITY / TRAITS
𝒉𝒐𝒈𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒔 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆 : ravenclaw

𝒛𝒐𝒅𝒊𝒂𝒄 𝒔𝒊𝒈𝒏 : pisces
𝒏𝒆𝒖𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒔 : paranoid schizophrenia & obsessive-compulsive personality disorder ( as explained by this video )
nina sayers never realised the cost of being thomas leroy’s ‘ 𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔. ’ until the end, following the glowing line to ‘ i felt it, i was perfect ’ even as it brought her world crashing down around her.
a sheltered life in new york city with an off-base unnerving relationship with her infantilising mother becomes the same, here. even here, she cannot escape the eye of erica sayers. neither her eye, nor her perpetual envy.
( she liked lily. never knew what to do with that, and it was always unseen through the murk of she’s out to get me, the laughter over her shoulder when her back is turned, the envy of her effortless swagger & the beauty of even her imperfection. not that her mother would ever have allowed it, this woman teaching nina everything she shouldn’t know. )
it became fashionable to say you were there, in the real world, when nina sayers flung herself from the plinth as the white swan, and bled to death on a thin mattress to the music of their vague screaming. not that she could know this: this is the cycle reset ( as she remembers none of the tragedy ) put back in position ( new world, new people ) before the casting began the slow breakdown & descent to hell that came to a head on the night of the performance.
that was the opener. this is night two : the second performance. and the aim of every performance is, of course, to match or better the last.
i plan to write nina tentatively stepping out into the world against erica’s wishes, so i imagine most muses would have seen her around or seen her perform before ( you can feel free to decide this at your discretion ! ) but she is incredibly reserved and tense so she likely hasn’t gotten to know people very well !

( he/him & demimale )
this is the story of a very kind man .
I . IN THE DARKNESS , I WILL MEET MY CREATORS . . .
alucard , pennsylvania . leon s. kennedy is born in the back of a 1970 toyota hatchback to a father & mother who don’t love each other but try to make it work since they’re all each other has .
. . . needless to say , it’s very early in his life that ‘making it work’ doesn’t actually work out for them , and his mother moves out and his father moves in with his parents . leon is taken with the latter - seeing his mom on the weekends .
it’s a pretty okay life ; he’s raised more by his grandparents than his actual parents , but he’s always clothed , fed , and raised to be polite . he spends his childhood looking up to superheroes and playing with their toys because he was told it’s good to be a good person , and superheroes are good because they protect other good people . and it’s ingrained into his head from a young age that’s what he wants to do .
he’s a good kid . always will be a good kid . but there are times when he tries not to be .
wide-eyed and innocent to the world around him , he starts out a goody-goody in high school that grows into more of a rebel and a hellraiser by the time he’s a junior . leon s. kennedy is a good student , but often plays hooky - smokes cigarettes - almost got caught with liquor & weed behind the outdoor bleachers . a few times he’s reported to his grandparents and when they ask him why he tells them he just wants to try everything . he never wants anyone to get hurt , he just wants to have fun .
but . . . it’s two more years of this behavior before leon’s grandparents tell him if his act doesn’t clean up , he’ll be kicked out . and he listens , throwing away a future of hedonism and hell-raising in favor of medical school . because he never liked going to the doctor’s as a kid , but he always felt safe when someone in scrubs would greet him with a smile and tell him what they’d be doing for his appointment .
he goes into medical school to be the hero he always wanted to be .
II . AND THEY WILL ALL AGREE THAT I’M A SUFFOCATOR . . .
leon s. kennedy devotes himself to his studies and graduates with double degrees in both nursing & emergency medical services . he starts off in the thick of it ; multiple days of loud noises , scenarios he’d never wish to be in - but lives are saved and he’s praised as a hero for the way he takes initiative .
but of course , the newfound passion he’s found in caring for others does not stop at his field . no . because there is cordelia , and the moment he first locks eyes with her he has to make sure he’s alright with the way his heart skips a beat .
because she is beautiful . she is beautiful & different than him in the best possible ways and he finds it a miracle somehow she agrees to see him let alone marry him a while later . he considers himself the happiest man in the world since every morning he wakes up & first mistakes the form next to him for an angel - before realizing that is a real woman and she so happens to be his wife .
of course , life moves on . and leon is devoted to his wife & his job but the latter and the sights seen can wear and tear on the conscious , the spirit . and with sudden news & sudden tragedy a rift is torn between him and the most important person in the world to him ; leon can’t help but feel his own world has stopped moving but the rest of life drags him along and he can’t take it .
home is not happy - home is not what it was before . home was the joy in her eyes & the warmth of her smile & the sound of her laugh but those don’t seem to come around much anymore . and he blames himself , and he only concludes perhaps he is the reason for all of her pain . . . so in an effort to free both her and himself , leon s. kennedy files for divorce & cordelia kennedy signs .
he packs up his bags and moves back up to his grandparents’ home - they’ve long flown to florida for retirement and leave their baby bird their nest . but the world feels empty and his ring finger grows cold now that there’s nothing upon it .
he is alone . he tells himself it’s for the best . but he’s alone , and because he needs to take care of himself he switches to regular hospital nursing as opposed to emergency medical care .
III . OH LOVE . . . I’M SORRY IF I SMOTHERED YOU .
it has been a few years ; yes , time heals wounds , and leon has gotten used to the fact he’s living by himself - but there’s still a part of him that will be sad about what has ended . what could have been something much longer if maybe things turned out differently or he did something to fix it - even though he knows there was nothing in his power . but he’s fine .
his patients & the people he cares for are the reason he wakes up every day - he’s starting to drink & smoke again to perhaps provide soothing comfort when things get bad but he also knows he needs to focus on his own health as well .
living alone is lonely . but it doesn’t make him cold or callous ; maybe just a bit distant and reluctant to speak too much to new people , but those that gravitate towards him , he takes them in and offers his help .
he makes an effort to try and make things brighter , to move on . goes out to drink , goes on dates ( bi icon ) - sees people , leaves the house . and it does help , even though most of the time , leon’s a bit more resigned to himself and nowhere near as talkative as he was years ago .
and even though he’s stepped away from the fast-paced environment of a paramedic , those he’s helped in the past and now remind him that he is still a good man and still a hero to those who’ve received his help .
the days can be hard ; but it’s okay . he'll take it one day at a time .
i need new ways . . . to waste my time .
there is a man . a very kind man , but he’s been to hell and back & when leon looks into the mirrors , he sees eyes that have witnessed the apocalypse and then some . because raccoon city is gone & so are the people who lived in it . leon pulls away from the glass with the intense feeling of loss and the badge he finds later on feels heavy in his pockets . but . . . he’s alright . and hopefully , so is the man on the other side , as most heroes don’t end up happy but . . . leon can only feel that’s what he’d seen .

i will try to make this short . dean was born to mary & john winchester & for four years he had the most simple apple pie life a four year old could ask for . in 1983 , a demon went into the winchester house to visit their newborn son : dean’s younger brother sam . when mary interrupted the demon’s visitation , he killed her . slashed open her stomach & burned her on the ceiling . dean’s father , john , witnessed the terrible end of his wife’s life & though he made it out alive with both sam & dean , the event would irreversibly change him .
john became obsessed with discovering what it was that killed mary . he learned to hunt the supernatural & ruthlessly trained his sons to do the same . dean’s toddler life of toys turned into tinkering with guns , his warm bed into dirty motels , & his carefree existence into only worrying over his younger brother . he became the perfect killer but it took a toll on him . his father , far from perfect even before this , became harsh on dean . molding him until he was more dutiful soldier than he was boy . dean did everything his father asked & followed his every order with blind faith & even then he would never be the perfect son to john . sam , on the other hand , rebelled against the life john gave them . though dean tried constantly to settle their explosive arguments as best he could no matter his thoughts on the matter at hand , desperate for peace between the two , he still couldn’t stop sam from running away in the end . he wanted to hate sam for it at first , but he never could .
years later when john went missing on a hunt , dean reached out to his estranged brother for help . the job was supposed to be a simple one but after coming back unsuccessful to the tragic death of sam’s girlfriend ( same as their mothers , in fact ) sam entered back into his life for good .
though the plots of both heaven & hell , sam & dean became pawns in the story of the world’s end . the apocalypse slowly set into motion & started with the winchesters at the center of it all . even though they managed stop the world’s end , though , it was hardly the last threat to humanity . as years passed , the brothers found themselves thrust into apocalypse after apocalypse . an endless cycle that they , eventually , discovered was god’s doing all along . they were simply the main characters of a never ending tragic story that god was writing . furious , the two brothers , with help from their rebel angel best friend & the half angel son on lucifer himself , devised a way to defeat god for good . in the end they succeeded . jack , the mentioned son of lucifer , took god’s place after his defeat . the world is their’s in the end . they , for the first time , get to choose their own paths .
─ 𝐀𝐋𝐔𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐃 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄 .
there was still a fire at the winchester house when dean was four years old . an accident this time . an electrical fire . a normal tragedy . their mom was still lost but dean , holding onto the bundle that was his little brother , watched as the fire fighters pulled his dad from the flames . sitting with them , brother in his arms , while they consoled him & let him wear their helmets would always be a far more comforting memory to dean than the ones his father gave him in the years to come . john winchester became distant . negligent . borderline abusive . dean did his best to take the bulk of what their grief drowned father put on them , trying to shield sam , & gave a lot of his life to helping raise sam where john fell short . they moved around a lot , finally settling in alucard when dean was around seventeen .
when he was a late teen if he wasn’t at home or sneaking out for a smoke & some girls , dean worked at being a volunteer firefighter . it was something , he thought , slightly productive to do with his life as it was already obvious to him that he wouldn’t be able to go to college with sam still needing him around . at age eighteen , with his high school diploma stating he graduated with average grades , dean officially joined the fire force at an entry level & began saving up money for his own place . a place away from his father but close enough that sam could use it to get away at any time as well . though , as the year went on , he found that john would have been unlikely to allow dean to live under his roof anyway .
dean was notorious with women & thought himself as careful but clearly not as careful as he thought . when he found out he was going to be a dad at eighteen he initially rejected the idea , wanting nothing to do with the child out of fear of turning into his father . sam was the one who talked him down from the anxiety . with his encouragement , dean slowly worked to learn how to be a parent . preparing a room . reading parenting books . anything . it came as a shock a month before the due date to when he found out the mother was backing out of keeping the child . she had been the one initially for raising it at first but suddenly felt she couldn’t do it . though he’d be on his own , dean had steeled himself to becoming a father too much to let the girl to go up for adoption . beverly winchester was born feburary 13th & dean took full custody as her sole guardian . he kept in touch with bevery’s mother still , who went on to study psychology outside alucard .
being a single father was far from easy but dean managed , always taking help where he could from his brother or from friends . one friend even got closer than others . when beverly was nearing three years old , dean started seeing a foreign exchange student from england who was taking classes at the local university & the casual feeling of the affair wasn’t there for long . things blossomed into something serious & when it was discovered she was pregnant , this time dean was far more sure about things than when he was twenty . the wedding was small & around nine months later dean became a father of two as simon joined the winchester family .
for a few years this seemed the perfect arrangement . dean worked up through the ranks at the station , setting himself up to be the new fire chief one day , & raised his kids happily with his wife . but perfect sometimes doesn’t last long . their relationship , after all , had been a rushed one . after around six years , things simply didn’t have the same spark as they used to . the divorce wasn’t nasty , they knew it was a mutual thing , but it still stung . he left the court as a single father again , now with joint custody of his son . he didn’t seen simon much after the divorce . shortly after , he & his mother moved back to england which dean was always bitter about . though simon came to visit sometimes & dean called whenever he could , he always felt like he was far from the boy .
at fourty one , years later , he’s gotten well back on his feet . no serious relationships seem to stick but at work he’s finally gotten fire chief . he misses being in the middle of the action sometimes , but he loves his job nonetheless . if not at work he’s visiting his brother , the bar , fixing his car , or dedicating time to beverly & simon who has recently moved to alucard to be around dean , much to his delight . as his life is coming back to him , though , it is stressing him out . the world was already dangerous without remembering monsters . he feels as though this is just another story he’s now lived out & isn’t even sure whats real .
─ 𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 .
father to BEVERLY MARSH & SIMON SNOW in alucard . he will absolutely go off on you if you are mean to his kids . yes , this includes other kids who bully his kids . he doesn’t care he’ll yell at you for being an asshole no matter your age . absolutely no one messes with his kids .
has had beverly around since she was born but has seen simon infrequently since he was about six since simon’s mother took him back to england with her . he doesn’t love simon any less , but he ‘s struggling with fact they don’t know each other as well as dean would like . he hates that his son grew up so far away from him with visits & phone calls too few & far in between .
is also now having to cope with the fact that , in this new life he remembers , he doesn’t even HAVE his kids . closest thing he has to a child there is jack & he doesn’t even know if jack is okay .
still has the impala here . can’t have dean without his car .
while he is the fire chief , fixing cars is a huge hobby of his . if he didn’t love his job , he would absolutely leave it to work as a mechanic at the local garage .
while he mostly works on his car himself , he still brings his car to the garage a few times a year for things that his own garage doesn’t have the tools for . they know him there from his recognizable car .
his father has been alive for sometime but he’s recently found out he died from a stroke in his sleep . dean is stuck between the duty of giving his father a proper funeral & his own bitterness at the man for how he treated him & sam . this is only worsened by the memories of john that will come back .
he is bisexual ! because i’ve watched this show & have eyes ! i know ! is he repressed a lot & hasn’t exactly had an offical coming out ? also yes ! doesn’t mean he HASN’T made out & gotten with a guy or two in the past . just means he never felt like he could say anything about it all growing up & now just figures it’s too late .
uuuuuuuuuuuuh anyway . i’ll add to this more if i think of more .
“ she felt it all—too keenly, too sharply. hated and cared and loved and dreaded, more than other people, she sometimes thought. “

i don’t want to put any major spoilers so i’m going to try to list only the important things about nesta in the books. everyone knows how wiki works if you want to know more you can go there lol
in books
she is always described as being cold and unfeeling when, in fact, it is the opposite. nesta feels everything too strongly and because of this she builds these impenetrable walls around herself and portrays herself a certain way so she doesn’t end up getting suffocated by those emotions. those walls sometimes crack though for a certain illyrian man, cassian
has a great relationship with her younger sister, elain, would burn the world down for her and the two are pretty close. when it comes to her youngest sister, feyre, they’re relationship is very strained (especially rn with how the books are currently). despite the rocky relationship and everyone thinking nesta is this horrible older sister, she does care for feyre more than people think and tried to save her by trying to go to prythian.
she resents her father for his neglect. resents feyre too for enabling his laziness by going out and hunting for them. nesta would have been more than content to let them all starve so that their father could see what he was doing to them. how he neglected them.
she shows it in her own way, but she cares for cassian very deeply, is willing to die with him so they go together rather than without the other. and no one is allowed to talk poorly of him except her. but after leaving the battlefield and cassian didn’t make good on the promise he made to her she built a stronger, harder wall around herself and her heart. wanting nothing more than to be far away from him since being close to him riles her power and makes her want to shatter things. i would also like to mention here that this is the second promise he breaks to her, the first was not being bale to protect her and her family
she also wants nothing to do with her sister feyre, her mate, and their happy little inner circle. she has isolated herself from them and took up residence in the cheapest, run down apartment she could find in velaris.
she is currently going through a lot rn in the books with depression, ptsd, and alcohol abuse. alcohol helps her dull the ache inside of her, helps nullify her powers and makes her feel less heavy.
her powers are unknown to everyone because she keeps them hidden, only using some of it during the war. after that she holds it within herself and it’s eating her alive because she bottles up such great power.
feyre basically exiles her from velaris, sending her off to live with cassian in the illyrian mountains. the act made nesta dislike her sister even more. she also didn’t forget the broken promise feyre had made after the war as well. ya know about the bathtub.
nesta was a human then made into fae in a very traumatizing way. it was forced and not a choice. nesta has had a lot of choices taken away from her and she’s in a very low place in her life currently.
nesta’s book is coming out in february ( i can’t wait i’ve waited years for this!!! ) so as i read the book i’ll be incorporating those events into her memories as well!!
in alucard
i want to make nesta how i think she would be without all the hardships she’s had in her life. the person i think she would be with her walls not built so high. she’s still guarded because that’s who she is as a person, but it’s not as extreme.
her relationship with feyre is much better here, they actually get along and are close.
nesta loves to read especially romance and smut so in her free time she does a lot of reading. she works at the library and basically oversees everything there and it gives her the chance to spend more time reading.
the only memory nesta has as of right now is her cassian lying in a puddle of his own blood, his wings shredded, and him stirring, reaching out for her even though he was unconscious while she screams. however she doesn’t think it a memory and only thinks of it as a reoccurring dream she keeps having.
but as time goes on she’ll be getting her memories back and going back to her old ways and will feel that same anger and betrayal towards feyre that she had before.

LIFE IN CANON —
Zagreus is the only child born to Hades and Persephone. Although at first he had been stillborn. The Fates decides that Hades shouldn’t have an heir and Persephone ran away in grief but refused to return to her birthplace on Olympus since she disliked all the bickering the Gods do. She would settle in Greece to grieve and Demeter covered the mortal realm in an endless winter for her daughter.
Nyx would bring Zagreus back to life with her powers in an extremely lengthy process and would become his mother figure. Hades raises him on his own alongside the Goddess of the Night but never speaks of Persephone and doesn’t let anyone in the House to say her name either.
The prince would befriend the Fury Megaera and the God of Death Thanatos when they’re all children . . . . the latter ending up becoming his best friend. It’s kind of ironic, don’t you think? Zagreus is the God of Rebirth and being so close to Death. They’re such opposites but every time he would die and be reborn again he could count on his best friend to bring him to the River Styx.
However, once growing older Zagreus grew bored of always being stuck in the House of Hades. He wanted to explore the Underworld and try to see what life is outside of their realm. His father didn’t approve of this and would try to stop him in this ridiculous quest. He would die several times trying to make his escape but due to the nature of his ability to be reborn he just ends up stepping out of the Styx and hanging his head when realizing he’s back home again.
Achilles trained him and has become like an idol to Zagreus. Everything he knows about combat comes from him and doesn’t think there’s anyone is a better fighter than Achilles. Which gave him at least a little chance in making it through the obstacles arranged by Hades to keep him home. The other Olympians aided him to give him an additional advantage.
One night, Zagreus would discover a letter left by his birth mother which gave him even more motivation to make it out of the Underworld to try and find her. He needed to see Persephone at least once. It’s bittersweet when the boy is finally able to do this as he’s forever bound to the Underworld like his father and only has limited time in Greece with his mother. He would die of natural causes and Thanatos would have to come get him since he is Death after all. Zagreus would fight his way out again and again and again just to get more time with Persephone. He wanted to learn everything about her, why she left, and just exist there with her for their limited amount of time allowed.
After numerous visited, Zagreus was able to convince his mother to come home by reminding her of the bonds of family. Zagreus and Persephone sail back to the House of Hades by Charon. Persephone resumed her duties as Queen of the Underworld and Hades finally respects his son again. The escape attempt turned into a job of finding security vulnerabilities throughout their realm. Their family was reunited again and for once? They’re all happy again. If Zagreus was going to be bound to roam their realm for eternity then he’ll do it happily knowing his parents are both here too.
Persephone would reconcile with the other Gods and Goddesses by inviting them to a feast in the House of Hades. They all thought that Hades and Persephone eloped and had Zagreus. She avoided telling them about her resentment of Olympus and told a lie that she could only leave the Underworld a few months out of the year due to eating pomegranate seeds. The Olympians accept the lie but know the truth and just want to move on.
There’s a lot of lore that comes along with playing someone tied to Greek Mythology so . . . I’m not going to cover everything but this is the plot from the game! All other Greek Mythology related lore can be assumed to have happened but I’m not going to write it out.
LIFE IN ALUCARD —
THE ITEM FOUND ON HIS PERSON:
STYGIAN BLADE also known as STYGIUS and the blade of the underworld. It’s a longsword that belonged to Lord Poseidon before he opted for his trident. It’s one of the finest weapons to ever be wielded and played a role in sealing the titans deep within the deepest recesses of tartarus. Achilles gave the sword to Zagreus since he knew Hades wouldn’t pay any mind. You could feel how eager Stygius was to have a partner again and be used in a fight at the time.
Zagreus doesn’t understand where the sword came from but something told him to hold onto it. He currently has it mounted over his television in his house.
ANIMAL FAMILIAR:
Zagreus has a puppy version of Cerberus living with him. They have vibrant red fur and three heads. They’re a very good boy but have attachment issues. If Zag is gone for too long then some of the furniture in his home will get destroyed. Each head has their own personality!
ORIGIN:
Zagreus was born into an extremely wealthy family. He’s an only child which meant getting away with most of his shenanigans growing up. They wanted their son to accomplish great things which meant that they spoiled him. Whatever the boy wanted? He got.
You could imagine their disappointment when Zagreus expressed an interest in art from a young age. He didn’t care about playing sports or preparing to take over the family business. Always more content to sit down with a fresh pad of paper and pencil. He become quite the talented artist in adulthood, working toward being better with everyday. Zagreus even does some graphic design commissions.
His true passion is tattooing. Which you could imagine the look on his parents’ faces when they were told that their only son wanted that as his career. Their love outgrew their disapproval though and would support this venture just as long as Zagreus still came to mingle at events. His body quickly becomes covered in ink which often makes him the talk of the party.
IF YOU CLICK HERE THERE’S REFERENCE TO AT LEAST THIRTEEN OF HIS TATTOOS.
He’s a soft man despite appearances and most people know it. Zagreus often feels like something is missing from his life but eventually it all makes sense when the memories from his canon lifetime come flooding back in. How could he forget? How do you come to terms with realizing something you’ve been reading about all your life is suddenly true? He knows that going up to people and saying “hey i’m a god” wouldn’t get many reactions where it’s believed. So, Zagreus pushes it deep down and focuses on his tattoo appointments and tries to deal with it on his own.

EARLY LIFE
Stefan Salvatore was born on November 1st, 1846, on Veritas Estate in what would eventually become the town known as Mystic Falls, Virginia. He is the youngest child born to Giuseppe Salvatore and Lillian Salvatore. He is the younger brother of Damon Salvatore. Stefan lived with his father and his brother Damon. Stefan is seven years younger than Damon. Despite the semi big age difference between the two brothers, Stefan grew up to be the best of friends with Damon and had even said that Damon was his best companion, despite having other friends growing up since his childhood. Going by flashbacks, it is evident that Stefan was also Giuseppe's favorite son, and that Stefan had a rather close and good relationship with his father, the complete opposite of Damon, who appeared to have had a rather strained and tension-filled relationship with Giuseppe. Personality wise, Stefan was seen to be kind, caring, compassionate, introverted, intelligent, well-spoken, responsible, dutiful, noble and an overall respectable young gentleman.
Stefan had first met Katherine, when she and Emily had come to stay at the Salvatore Estate, he had become strongly attracted to her and eventually had fallen in love with her, as did his brother Damon. during that time when Stefan and Katherine were making love that Katherine revealed her true identity to Stefan and that she was a vampire.When Katherine went to see Stefan that night and bit him so that she could feed on his blood as a form of foreplay, the vervain within Stefan's blood had poisoned and incapacitated her. Stefan was confused, worried and concerned about what was happening to Katherine and could not understand why Katherine appeared so sick and weakened all of a sudden. Giuseppe, hearing Katherine collapse, entered Stefan's room. He then told Stefan that he had tricked Stefan and had put vervain in his drink after Stefan had asked his father how he knew about Katherine and other vampires existing because "he did not raise his sons to be so weak. Giuseppe than urged Stefan to let the sheriff know that they have another vampire in Katherine captured and for him to go the sheriff as quickly as possible and wanting to rescue katherine, both him and damon were shot, dying with katherine blood in his system.

— IN ALUCARD.
kuroo tetsurou would tell you he had an unremarkable childhood. he grew up in a small commuter town in new york about an hour and a half from the city, he liked science and volleyball, and he LOVED getting sushi from the japanese restaurant a few towns over.
what he won’t tell you is that growing up, his name was theodore ‘ted/teddy’ pesci.
adopted from japan before he was a year old, kuroo grew up in a very white town, largely disconnected from his birth culture. as far as he was concerned, he thought he was white too, but he didn’t understand why everyone said he looked different.
after years of feeling not quite right, when he was 14, he finally decided to commit to being, as he thought of it, ‘an actual japanese person.’ he studied japanese, becoming fluent before he graduated, he got into j-rock, he learned how to cook a few japanese dishes, and he started reading shonen jump. he went back to using his birth name of kuroo tetsurou (and he ordered it the way it’s meant to be — family name, then given name. only a handful of people got to call him tetsurou.) it wasn’t much, but it was a way for him to feel more connected.
he went to college in the city, double-majoring in biochemistry and education and minoring in japanese. he joined some asian student groups where finally, he was around people who looked like him. it was here where kuroo met his first serious girlfriend; they met in, of all places, a kpop dance club and started dating soon after. she got a job in philadelphia after graduation, so kuroo moved with her. young as they were, he was thinking about proposing. he found a job teaching at a middle school in the city, and things were good.
but it wasn’t to last. they broke up less than four months later, having differing views on a future together, and though they agreed to remain friends, they didn’t. kuroo moved out to alucard after they broke up, and he’s been here ever since.
now 27 (nearing 28), kuroo has settled into this town and his job, teaching japanese and science and coaching the boys’ volleyball team. he has a small apartment to himself, stray cats that come and visit, and a job he likes; he can be content.
that is, until the day a strange volleyball jersey shows up in his closet. nekoma, it says, and it has the number 1. and that’s when he starts to see things, to have flashes of memories in places and with people he doesn’t recognize.
— IN ANOTHER LIFE.
somewhere, in a parallel universe, lives another kuroo tetsurou. this other kuroo tetsurou would be born and raised not in new york, but in tokyo, japan. he would meet his best friend at the age of eight and learn to play volleyball, and he’d become captain and take his team to nationals. they’d call him rooster head because of his untameable bedhead, the scheming captain for his sharp wit on the court, pain-in-the-ass kuroo-san. he’d have a friendly rivalry with a crow captain from a school way in the north and tease him about being a country boy, and he’d have a best bro who’s a captain at another tokyo school and get into all sorts of mischief with him. he’d take a first-year middle blocker under his wing and help him find his love for volleyball. he’d play his heart out until he couldn’t anymore, but loath to walk away from the game, he’d become a promoter for the japan volleyball association. his friends would come and go, moving around the country and even around the world, and he’d get to travel too, seeing places he’s only dreamed of. and he’d be content.
