Brief Overview:

The oldest of 7, Ember had to grow up early with their twin brother, Nimbus, when all adult support disappeared half way through high school. They’ve since focused most of their time on keeping their family happy, fed, and safe. Unfortunately, keeping 7 teenagers afloat in a city known for its wealth is impossible when one is working minimum wage - even with two jobs.

So Ember has resorted to picking pockets, doing so on the way home from their night shift.

Perceptions:

“I couldn’t leave her out there.”

How strangers see them:

They walk with a bounce just shy of a swagger, and hold their head high with a simple self-assurance and confidence that nearly everyone else around them is lacking. 

For some reason, their words cut straight through the fog of delirium still hanging about my head.

How siblings see them:

Thank the Goddesses I have them to back me up.

“[Ember’s] definitely the fun one.”

How friends see them:

“We’ll save your particular skill set for when we get into trouble.”

Ember brings me back to the moment.

I’m bouncing between whether I want to kiss them or shove them off the bed.

How they see themself:

I’m not great at non-violent things.

I feel awful for directing my anger his way, when it’s nothing to do with him.

Through it all, a gnawing desire to make all the hatred in the world go away. 

Skills:

“I used to be the top archer at my school. Never aimed at a person, though.”

Adept:

Archery Self defense Talking to people Navigation

Decent:

Comforting others Cooking Stealth Making others laugh

Terrible:

Forethought School settings Controlling outbursts Beating around the bush

Excerpt and Aesthetics under the cut

Excerpt:

When I get home, Dusk is still sitting up, reading by the light of the lamp. He looks up as I enter quietly, tilting his head in question.

“Library run,” I whisper, waving my notebook. He smiles in understanding, going back to his book before I can chide him for being up so late. I hesitate to tell him off for it, but he has school tomorrow. Knowing how school is for him, though…

I sit down next to him, glancing at the page over his shoulder. He doesn’t notice, completely absorbed in his reading. It’s another adventure story, as far as I can tell.

“Good book?” I ask quietly. He nods in response, folding the cover over slightly so I can see the name. I make a noise of acknowledgment, and he lets the cover fall completely open again. Looking at him so invested in the story, I feel bad for what I’m about to say.

“It’s getting late, bug.” He looks up, a silent plea for just a little longer, but I smile sadly. “You have to get up for school tomorrow.”

He sighs, closing the book, gazing at the cover with a forlorn longing. We sit silently for a moment before he says something too quietly for me to hear.

“Hm?”

“I don’t like school.” The patches of white on his cheeks are burning red, and he looks like he’s about to cry, with his head down, like he doesn’t want me to see it. I shift so I’m completely facing him, wanting to give him a hug, but knowing that will make it worse.

“I know,” I say instead.

He sniffles. “You really don’t. The things they say about me… About her.”

My head tilts to the side, and I furrow my brows. “What do they say?”

“That she deserved it. That I did.”

Anger and sadness boil up, making my own cheeks hot. “You know that’s not true.” His shoulders start shaking, and a couple tears fall onto the book cover.

“But what if it is?” he chokes out.

Aesthetics:

“I want in.”

[ Lily Collins ] who’s that howling? oh, that’s just Ember Kincaid the twenty-seven-year-old omega from the ignis pack. throughout town, they’re known as the lost soul that is an accountant. she is ambitious and stubborn and the smell of sweet pea lingers whenever they leave the room. they’re mated to daniel gillies, nathaniel buzolic, tom hiddleston, sebastian stan, max irons, ricky whittle or any male fc that can play 35+.

Autumn, the ending of the beginning. The time when the life that started in spring and blooms throughout summer comes to an end. Even with its dreary outlook autumn was a season loved by most. Ember Rose was not one of them. For her, autumn brought with it the memories of her loss. A loss that still traumatizes her to this day.  

Ember Rose would spend the first five years of her life happy and surrounded by her parents' love. That all was taken away one fall night when her parents were killed by hunters while out patrolling pack territory. Her parents were young. Just 18, fresh out of high school and in their first year of marriage when a plus sign showed up on a home test and nine months later a beautiful baby girl was placed within their arms. It was that moment when the reality of it all hit them. For most young couples starting out, their first years of marriage is about adjustments, exploring, and balancing new roles. The thought of adding a baby to the mix created one crazy life that they did their best to manage. By the time their little girl was one they thought the worst was behind them. 

With both parents taken from her Ember found herself living with her grandfather and uncle who was still a teenager himself. To say she didn't have a typical childhood would be an understatement. She wouldn't change it for the world. The time she spent with her uncle made her who she is. It was thanks to her uncle that she went to college and got a degree in accounting. He saw her love for numbers and pushed for her to make something of herself.

Just two weeks after her 18th birthday, Ember's dream of attending college when she imprinted. Her imprint turned out to be a man a good number of years older than her. Her family couldn't help being concerned about the age difference. While they liked the idea that he was someone that could protect and take care of her the fact that she was just starting out in life made them question the imprint. It turned out they worried for nothing. College happened and during the four years that sEmber was away from her imprint and they kept in contact. Letters, phone calls, and live chats let them get to know each other.    

Her time at college opened her eyes to a world she had no idea about. For 18 year her whole life had been about her small town. Being thrown into a big city took a lot of adjustment for the young wolf. It didn't take long for her to start to bloom and she soon found that she liked the busy lifestyle that came with living in a big city. She liked it so much that when college came to an end she decided to stay. Her decision forced a reality on the young she-wolf that she didn't expect. While her heart accepted a life with her imprint her thoughts were conflicted about mating so young. She wanted so much out of life that she couldn't help feeling that if she mated none of it would be possible. 

Ember figured things had worked so well during her college years that why could they continue the same for a couple more years. A couple more years was all she was asking for. If only it could be that easy. She broke their agreement and the effect of that quickly started to show. By the time two weeks passed Ember's emotional state had become unstable and she wasn't doing much better physically either. Depression hit her hard and she had no idea why until her eyes locked with her imprints. His appearance at her front door to bring her home told the omega everything she needed to know. 

It took her a while to heal from the effects of her imprint rejection but once she did a proper imprint courting began between the two. Four months later they mated and two months after that they celebrated their wedding. That's not to say that Ember doesn't still have moments when her ambitious get the better of her or she becomes too stubborn for her own good.

Full Name: Ember Akari Timber

Age: 19

Gender/Pronouns: Genderfluid, They/Them

Race: Ehlf

Brief Overview:

Ember loves their family. More than anything. They love how their twin, Nimbus, can tinker for hours on end without losing the spark of excitement that started his exploration. How their sisters Autumn and Maple are basically each other’s opposites, an athlete that stops at nothing to win the race, and a dreamer who writes poetry in the margins of her notebooks. How Dusk, the quiet, overlooked boy, can spend hours upon hours with his nose buried in a book. How Ash and Oak, the youngest, create amazing art, Ash with yarn, and Oak with her voice. Ember loves them all, and would do anything to make the world better for them.

For the longest time, that’s meant working two jobs, fourteen hours a day, and picking pockets to be sure they make rent.

Because of this, they haven’t had much time to relax with their best friend, Gab. To make up for it, he comes knocking at ridiculous times, trying to catch them before they need to leave, and even though they’re pretty quiet about it, Ember lives for those moments where they just get to joke around with him, not worrying about whatever else needs to happen to make rent that week.

So of course, when they accidentally find a way to contact the rebel group known as the Firebreathers, he’s the first to know.
