Nicholas was born in Faerune the son of a fae mother and a witch father. From a young age he learned to use his magic, his mother teaching him how to use the magic gifted to him through his fae side, and his father teaching him potions, spells, and other things from his witch side. As he grew older he fell in love with the world of science as well, and started to incorporate it into his learning of magic. An incredibly bright and gifted young man he has been developing his own potions, and other substances through the use of alchemy, magic, or both. While not as gifted with them yet, Nicholas started creating his own spells for things when he was 14.
Nicholas graduated from school at a very young age, though that sometimes has made it difficult to make friends growing up. Both when it came to the kids he was in school with and those around his own age. Luckily, he’s had a bit more success over the years. When he was fifteen his best, and at the time only friend, told him that their parents had decided to move to the mortal realm, where his parents had grown up. On the day there were moving Nick asked his cousin, Emmet, to drive him over to the other side of town so he could say goodbye, but Emmet was in the middle of finals and that plus other factors that had been leaving him feeling rather overwhelmed, had caused Emmet to tell his cousin ‘not right now.’ Nicholas took to foot and public transit then, trying to get there on time to tell his friend goodbye, but by the time he got there it was too late. Nick fully believes that if Emmet had just driven him he would have made it on time. While Nick doesn’t hate his cousin, he still holds a grudge against him, and enjoys doing things to inconvenience his life as much as possible in little ways when he’s around.
This Season on Faerune:
Nick doesn’t like that he is suddenly being kept from part of his identity with no longer being able to access the feywild. He was raised to believe he was just as fae as he was a witch, so to suddenly be told that he’s not has left him rather upset. He has been trying to work on something, a substance of sorts that could eat through the crystals, but so far he has not found any success.

BIOGRAPHY
judah wasn’t born in faerune, a fact that some locals don’t allow her to forget. her single mother, a witch herself, sought to raise judah away from her heritage; however, that plan didn’t work when judah’s abilities manifested at a young age. as judah grew older, her mother cracked and told her the truth, at which point she offered her mother two choices – teach her, or she’d leave. judah ended up packing her things at 17 and leaving her mother to live in faerune.
she quickly found herself a job, earning a fast promotion to manager due to her tendency to not take any shit. with her arrival in faerune, her abilities came to her quicker than ever, allowing her to do things she never thought possible. though some of her methods may be a bit strange to other witches, she knows it gets the job done. due to her lack of knowledge about faerune, she’s quite neutral about the seelie court, instead thinking that nothing that bothers her is any of her concern.

Backstory:
Marisol was born December of 1501 in provincial France. She was raised alongside her brother Beaumont and had a fairly idillc childhood, as carefree as you could get during those times. From a young age Marisol. then named Marie, was taught the various skills expected of her as a woman in french society including cooking, spinning thread, and sewing. Marisol always had a natural talent for sewing and, after the tragic death of her fiance in a house fire when they were nineteen, turned to taking commission sewing work so she could eventually live independently.
When their family was attacked by vampires Marisol and Beaumont initially escaped, but Beau went back to try and rescue their parents and, after waiting for nearly two days for him in the woods, had to face the reality that he was most likely dead. She spent the next year working for a dress maker in town who gave her room and board in return for working as her assistant/apprentice. Eventually, through the contacts Marisol made working for the dressmaker she was given a place working at a theater company designing costumes in Spain. During her time working in the Spanish theater she started a love affair with an actress who turned out to be a vampire and eventually offered to turn her. Marisol, still going by Marie, agreed and after she was turned took the name Marisol at her sire’s suggestion.
Marisol spent the following centuries working as both a fashion designer for nobility and royalty as well as a costume designer for theater companies. Some of her notable clients included Shakespeare’s theater company, Queen Elizabeth, the court of the French Sun King, Catherine the Great, and the House of Worth. She took many lovers and made hundreds of contacts, becoming incredibly familiar with vampire communities all around Europe and occasionally visiting Faerune after it was established when initiated by various friends and lovers. A few months ago Marisol moved to Faerune permanently after having to leave her job designing costumes on the West End so as to avoid suspicion regarding her vampire status. She’s heard whispers that a man who shares the same name as her brother is an influential business owner in the city and is desperate to learn more while also once again searching for love and trying to recruit powerful clients.
(LUKA SABBAT, 25, HE/HIM/SHE/HER) Have you seen [SIDNEY ROWE] around Faerune? They’re a [MEDIUM] who [IS NEUTRAL ABOUT] restoring the Seelie Court. People have heard they’re [VIBRANT; LOVING; & SELF-ASSURED] but can also be [DRAMATIC; HEADSTRONG; & DIRECT]. We’ll see where they fall when the revolution arrives, but until then they can be found working as a [NAIL TECH & DRAG QUEEN]
x Sidney, of course, grew up in the same household as Sutton (raised by their mother and grandmother and the rest of the ancestors they always had filling their house)
x Unlike his brother Sidney he got into far less trouble (even if he had a bigger mouth). Sutton used his fists Sidney used his words… Maybe he did get into just as much trouble just not with the LAW.
x Both he and Sutton are artists at heart. Whereas Sutton focused on poetry and visual arts, Sidney pursued dance and music. He got into drag from a young age. He was meant to preform. Sutton didn’t want to be in the spotlight, that was fine; Sidney would gladly soak it all up.
x The drag scene in Faerune is fine but he wanted to see the world. Sid left the nest earlier than Sutton, moving to Hollywood in the hopes of making it. He did well for himself. Forming relationships always came far easier to him. He’s charming and confident and it didn’t take long for him to get engaged. He was with his ex fiance for four years.
x Sid and his ex fiance split recently — they’re “””taking a break””” — and suddenly LA felt suffocating.
x while through the years he’s come back for holidays/vacations/birthdays etc. it was never to stay. Now he’s not sure what he’s doing. He figured he’d take Founder’s Day as a much needed break from Beverly Hills. He’s still deciding if he wants to stay in Faerune or move back to the states.
x Even though it isn’t the biggest, flashiest city — there’s a magic about Faerune Sid knows he can’t find anywhere else. That and family makes staying for a while more palatable. He’s calmed down a lot from the wild teenager that he was years ago. He still likes a party, don’t get him wrong, but he works jist as hard.
x As of right now he’s doing nails at the salon (a gig he’s had on and off for years since he was a teenager) and in the pm performing at the various clubs in Faerune. He also braids hair and makes wigs for people (but that’s all under the table)
x Sidney’s drag name is Petty Labelle. I imagine his style is very Shea Coulee/Naomi Smalls. He is an excellent dancer/performer and often incorporates stand up in his act. Sometimes he’ll just do comedy, sometimes he’ll dance, it depends on what the venue calls for.
-10s 10s 10s across the board; a very kind warm disco energy with this one. He does lack a filter, but doesn’t go out of his way to be nasty to people. That’s bullshit. Sid’s the friend that wont mince words or coddle you because he cares deeply about you. And he will be the first to come to your or a strangers defense. He’s made people cry with his sharp ass tongue before, he won’t hesitate if you’re acting a fool.
Have you seen CONNOR FINLEY around Faerune? He’s a HUMAN/VAMPIRE HYBRID who SUPPORTS restoring the Seelie Court. People have heard he’s BRAVE, COMPASSIONATE, and CONFIDENT but can also be IMPULSIVE, HOT HEADED, and STUBBORN. We’ll see where he falls when the revolution arrives, but until then he can be found working as a POLICE OFFICER and looking for OCTOBER ROULETTE, his FATHER.
Connor never knew his dad. Born to a single mom who refused to call the vampire anything other than “your father,” he was curious for a time before his mother’s rants about the guy’s irresponsibleness gradually turned him against October. This dislike transformed into hatred when his mother was murdered in a mugging when he was ten, and his father didn’t come for him. He was given instead to his mother’s sister, who was grieving in her own way and never wanted kids. He felt abandoned and alone, and his fear and grief became anger. It was easier to be angry than sad or afraid.
He began acting out in school, starting fights, mouthing off to teachers, starting fires in the bathrooms, until his aunt got fed up with him and pressed charges when he was twelve, sending him to a juvenile detention facility in the hopes that this would “straighten him out.” This only made him angrier, and he continued this behavior until he caught the eye of a cop named Parrish. The man took Connor under his wing, giving him life lessons he never got from either parent. He never gave up on Connor, even after he continued to screw up in and out of juvie. He was always there to pick Connor back up and eventually convinced him to go to therapy.
With Parrish’s help, he got his GED at eighteen and obtained a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice, completing police academy training after graduation. He wants to follow in Parrish’s footsteps in helping troubled youth like himself and maybe, hopefully, find out who killed his mom all those years ago.
(LUKA SABBAT, 25, HE/HIM) Have you seen [SUTTON ROWE] around Faerune? They’re a [MEDIUM] who [IS NEUTRAL ABOUT] restoring the Seelie Court. People have heard they’re [COOL & COLLECTED; THOUGHTFUL; & ANTIAUTHORITARIAN] but can also be [UNEMOTIONAL; PRIVATE; & DIRECT]. We’ll see where they fall when the revolution arrives, but until then they can be found working as a [POET, PAINTER, & GRASSROOTS ACTIVIST]. (Speedy, 25, she/they, est)
for those that know me you KNOW i can be long winded so i’ll be short:
✗ born & raised in fae rune to a single mother sutton has some daddy issues but who doesn’t amiright?
✗ comes from a long line of mediums.
✗ his mother, grandmother and siblings are everything to him. don’t even think about disrespecting any one of them or there’ll be issues.
✗ has an identical twin brother, sydney. they are the eldest siblings (but technically sutton is the oldest by a couple minutes).
✗ if sydney is baby spice, sutton is goth spice.
✗ he and his brother were bullied heavily for how they looked/talked/dressed in school. it resulted in a lot of wiping sydney’s tears in the bathroom and getting into fights in the school yard with much bigger boys for making his brother cry.
✗ ultimately he ended up fucking the kid who’d been the main perpetrator of this violence against him so that’s one way to lose your virginity. sutton doesn’t regret much, but he regrets that. it was a pretty toxic on and off thing that he allowed to go on for far too long most likely due to his abandonment issues. virginity doesn’t exist anyway. he doesn’t like to think about it.
✗ still he never was made to felt like his sexuality or expression was wrong when he was home. he never felt the need to be closeted even though this worried his mother and grandmother (for his and his brother’s safety).
✗ from the jump sutton was a little radical and was always yelling about or demanding something or causing trouble or riots. again this put him in precarious situations and he has spent many a nights in jail for things including but not limited to: resisting arrest, causing public disturbance by means of protest, trespassing, vandalism, defacement of statues etc.
✗ has a duel degree in literature & creative writing and sociology & anthropology
✗ he has... mixed feelings on the seelie court. on one hand this is their land that was stolen away from them by way of mass genocide, on the other they operated as a monarchy and sutton would need to do more research on just how they kept in power because from his experience monarchies are never fair. so.
✗ gemini: “enjoys beautiful music, heady conversation, and sensual hands on their body.”
✗ type 1 diabetic -- it’s intrusive in his life in a variety of ways but he was born with it and knows how to handle himself.
wanted connections to come eventually! per usual always always feel free to reach out for plots or to chat :)

BIOGRAPHY
TW: child abandonment
Teddy’s never had a cruel word for anyone. Raised in a group home with around 30 other children, Theodore Upshal was given very few things in relation to his parents and lineage. He knew his mother’s name, Yvette, and nothing more. No photos, no letters, just a name, and a little leaf shaped pin attached to the overalls he’d arrived on the step of the group home in. No older than 3 upon his arrival, Teddy was among the youngest of the children who lived there, and because of his unique features, easily one of the most mistreated. A pair of small horns set at the crown of his head, and as his teeth came in, so did a set of sharp upper canines- often destroying toys he decided to try and teethe on. Regarded as unfortunate deformities on an otherwise very healthy child, Teddy was treated as most of the other children were by the caretakers, caring, but distant. He filled his hours away from the other children with cartoons and daydreaming, about a family of his own, a mom and dad who loved him, and wouldn’t try to pry him off when he was scared of a loud noise or sudden movement.
Categorically a coward, Teddy was often encouraged to do things that were dangerous and far out of his comfort zone by the older kids, so they could inevitably laugh at him when he was injured. However, Teddy appeared to be made of tougher stuff, a fall from a tree in the backyard ending in only a scuffed knee and tears, rather than a broken bone he certainly should have received from that height. This really only made the mistreatment worse, pushing, punching, hair pulling, all to try and get him worked up, even well into his teens, it was a common sight to see the other boys of the home harassing Teddy, who simply smiled and played along. Childish in his interests even well into his adulthood, he has a preference for more family oriented media and content, far happier to watch a few episodes of Chowder than to ever sit through a horror movie. It was when he turned 18 that he was given the option to stay, or leave the only ‘home’ he’d ever known. Teddy’s whole world was in that small town in Ohio, but eventually he wouldn’t be welcome at the shelter- too old, after all. And so, he decided, perhaps it was best to move on. This decision brought with it more than he’d ever known about his family.
He’d arrived with a letter. And in Yvette’s careful hand she apologized. That she didn’t know how to raise Teddy- that she was out of her depth, and couldn’t justify forcing a child like him to live the way she did. She was young, she justified, only 20 herself when Teddy had been born, and while she’d tried- He simply looked too much like his father for her to bear. So she’d sent him off. In the last lines, however, Something to cling to. Something to hope for. Your father is October Roulette. I met him on a visit from my home to the city. As I write this he’s a touring musician, the frontman of Porphyria. I beg of you not to try and find me. But I’m sure with work, you can find him. It was odd, the language- he surely didn’t understand what made him different from any other human boy- but he didn’t blame his mother, simply attached the pin she’d left with him to the pocket of a denim jacket and taken the money he’d saved up from odd jobs and a bookkeeping position at a local pharmacy to buy a beater van- rusty, dirty, but it ran- and moved in.
He didn’t seek October out right away- Clearly if his father had never reached out, he didn’t like Teddy, and he didn’t want to be any sort of bother for someone who was apparently, a very busy musician. So for a while, he traveled. Busking and pickpocketing for money for food and gas, seeing the United States in his dirty little van and surviving off of gas station hot dogs and slushees. He was lonely, but he had his portable TV, twenty something DVDs of his favorite shows, a guitar, and a bed, set into the torn out back portion of the vehicle- a parting gift from a friend back home who was rather reluctant to let him leave. Life was odd, but he’d seen most of America by the time he was 19, polaroids of his stops clipped up into string lights adorning the overhead of his van. Eventually- after what Teddy still isn’t aware was a brutal breakup with a man 10 years his senior, he finally decided he didn’t care if October didn’t like him- he at least wanted to know why. Taking a deep dive into Porphyria at a library in Iowa, he discovered his father was off the grid- but two members of his band lived in Maine.
He traveled, as he had for two years, and after turning up in the town JD Wainwright called home (and proceeding to cry when the man told him he wasn’t going to tell him where to find his friend, for obvious reasons) he got his lead from Duke Fontaine. His father’s bassist and far more willing to work with him than JD, Duke believed him [”Got the big bastard’s eye in your face, don’t you little fella?”] and gave him the information he needed. Faerune, the Feywild- He’d find October there, certainly, the man was a homebody, all things considered, Duke had assured. He struggled to get there, nearly running out of even the spare gas he’d brought along for the journey, eventually the bald tires of his van cleared the outskirts of the city- And Teddy had made it to the place he was going to finally find his family.
He made certain to get a job right away, applying at the library and promising that he could show up whenever they needed him- He lived in a parking lot nearby, after all. It’s a big city, and he doesn’t know where to start looking, but in his bones he knows there’s something greater on the horizon, something worth all this effort-

~ THE BIOGRAPHY ~
tw: death
Sofia’s mother came from a wealthy family in Faerune who were descendants of Seelie Courtiers who perished in the war. Believing themselves to be better than most others, they kept a strict household to maintain the purity of their home. But Sofia’s mother fell in love with a werewolf and got pregnant with him, resulting in her banishment. The two left Faerune and settled in New Jersey, where Sofia’s mother gave birth to her older brother, Matthew. Four years later, Sofia was born.
They were a happy family, all things considered, though Sofia could tell her mother missed her homeland. Then, when Sofia was five, her father was killed by hunters, not having the protection of the Faerune laws. It broke Sofia’s mother, and she watched her mom fall into a deep depression. Her brother began to pull away, and when she was ten, he ran away from home to join a pack. This caused Sofia’s mother to grow worse, and, at sixteen and desperate to keep her small family together, Sofia went to find Matthew and bring him home.
Instead, she found him living on a commune, practically in a cult. When she tried to convince him to come home, he refused, insisting it was better for him there and she should join too. They’d be protected from hunters, have a real family. Sofia tried to remind him that he already had a family, to no avail. She went home alone. She began working to help her and her mother get along, but one day, the day of her twenty-first birthday, she woke to find her mother had disappeared, gone with only a note saying she was returning “to the Wild.”
Full of anger, hurt, and desperation, Sofia decided to return to the commune pack with weapons, determined to get her brother out even if it meant holding the alpha at gunpoint and forcing them to let him go. Instead, she was greeted with the body of her brother, dead. She was told he’d died in an accident, but she could see the wolf bite marks and claw wounds on him.
She had to bury him alone, and in the end she saw only one course of action: return to Faerune to find her mother. Two years in, she’s had no luck in finding her mother, but she’s working on a plan to get her revenge on everyone responsible for her family falling apart.
