Nikolaos “Nik” Valerian

werebear

originally from Greece

2000+ years old

been a familiar for two witches

has been a student at Hecate Academy when they opened way back when

since 1794 he is Head of Security at Hecate Academy

is very protective of all the people at the Academy

believes in positive reinforcement (and is rather creative when it comes to rewards)

there have been very persistent rumours that he had/has affairs with professors, staff and even students (and even though he is not out and about with it, it is very true)

he loves spending time in his bearskin more than his human one, so chances are high that if he is off duty, you will find him somewhere around the campus ground

he has always an open ear for people and is willing to go to great lengths to protect those he was told to protect (and you get a free bear hug on top)

was the one who brought @libelleluxuries to the Academy post Black Thursday

has a small collection of things that have accompanied him throughout his life that would probably look amazing in a museum

Wanted Connections

sparrings partner 

people who are not that fond of his reputation (most likely professors and staff)

current affairs/fwb (staff, professors and students)

ex-affair (possibly a witch who wanted more from the relationship than he was willing to give them)

friends (in all different variations of friendship)

reincarnation of his witch

Meet Quentin Coldwater

Quentin is one of life’s quiet souls. 

Originally from NYC, he grew up utterly confused as to why he didn’t fit in the world, despite parents who did try to understand their confusing child

He was adopted at birth and unbeknownst to him or his family, he was a Witch, or as was the term commonly used where he was from, a Magician.

He honestly thought he was going mad, ending up in a mental health facility where he was found by another Witch. 

Finally his world made sense and despite being rather behind, he was accepted to Hecate Academy.

His parents, relieved that their son’s mental and emotional health seemed to improve and wished him well as he transferred to the international school. He still visits every Christmas and a week or two every summer. He is one of very few Witches who regularly spends time and speaks with Mortals.

Immersing himself in the study of magic, Quentin truly found his passion. 

Socially, Quentin can be a timid soul, often overwhelmed by the gregarious nature of his classmates, Witch and Familiars alike

Last year, Quentin finally thought he had found his Familiar. It was a wonderful period of time for him. The Nekomata drew him out of his shell and seemed to enjoy his more quiet company when they were alone. 

However, the Nekomata was not as interested as he thought. They moved on with someone else. Instead of participating in the ceremony as he expected, instead Quentin received an invitation to attend as a guest as the one he wanted entered into a bond with someone else. It was a devastating blow. 

Returning as a grad student, Quentin has ambitions to complete his PhD and become a professor at the institution that he had come to love. 

As for a Familiar bond, he has lost his hope of a Bond based on any form of romantic or emotional attachment. Perhaps he can find an equally quiet soul and form a bond based on mutual respect.

Meet Gabriel

Biographical Notes

Gabriel grew up in a very remote part of Canada, along the Rocky Mountain range. 

The Clan had little interaction with humans, either mortal or Witch. They did however interact with Werewolves and other supernatural species.

There are no other members of his Clan that can claim a Familiar Bond. He didn’t even hear of such a thing until a Werewolf traveler passing through mentioned it. The idea of it has fascinated Gabriel ever since. It took him well over a year to talk his Clan leaders into permitting him to try out a Magical school and see if he could meet a Witch willing to enter into a Familiar bond with him. 

Finally with their blessing, he enrolled in Hecate Academy and is here to see if this Bond is really a good idea. 

Gabriel is a strong, if young, Werebear. He is endlessly curious about the world and has a passion for stargazing. He has never met any of the water species such as the Kelpies or Selkies. 

He is protective and gentle. His temperament can be placid, but if you wound his pride, you may cost yourself his friendship. 

He can be naive and he knows nothing about pop culture or similar. 

His Clan has a very rudimentary education system so learning to be a student will be a challenge for him

(more information coming once had a challenge to build some lore with other Werebears)

Personal

Gabriel would be comfortable in either a monogamous (or closed foursome) relationship or in a poly-amorous one so long as he knows what is going on. 

Alternatively, he would be a good choice for a close or brotherly friendship type of Familiar bond, with each of them having their own lovers. 

Sexually he can be quite Dominant and enjoys control, however he isn’t quite aware yet how strong of a kink that is for him. 

He does have a sexual preference for women.

He also is quite tactile and into a high degree of coziness. The grandeur of the Werebear lodgings delights him. The beds are huge and very cozy. He will slowly be adding pillows and blankets until his personal den is the epitome of cosy.

He is attracted to things he finds beautiful or soft. 

Lingerie will be literally a huge and extremely pleasant surprise from him (who knew females wore scraps of fabric that seemed to serve no purpose other than look pretty on them???)

Kinks: control, light D/s (ie - discipline, rules and so forth), sensory play, water (outdoors or indoors in baths or showers etc).and bondage

Anti-kinks: violence, aggression, rudeness, scat, gore, vore, watersports, blood, knives 

Classes

Potions

Herbalism

Introduction to Spellcasting

Ritual Magic

Plots

Other Werebears! Gimme gimme.

Friendship in general. The world fascinates Gabriel so I am excited to see him discover other species and get to know Witches.

An outdoor adventurer. Gabriel enjoys stargazing and just exploring the forest around the Academy. An adventurer buddy would be great.

A kink-tastic friendship or more. Self-explanatory

School friend / study buddy. He has no idea how to be a student. He is smart but this entire adventure is new for him. Someone to help him learn to be a good student would be amazing.

Meet Shadow Ashmore

Her real name is Dallan but she never goes by that

Born and raised deep in the Wye Valley on the Wales/England border The youngest of 3, she has always lived in the shadow of her older siblings, which is where her name came from Since she was home-schooled her whole life, Shadow is nervous about joining a proper school Friends are not a thing this witch has since the only people she’s ever known are her family and their selkie familiars Shadow is worried that she won’t find a familiar, almost as worried as she is about disappointing her parents Studying is something this girl does well and it a bit of an over-achiever but when she’s not got her nose buried in books and magic you’ll usually find her running in the woods As a new student, Shadow is excited by this new adventure but also slightly apprehensive at the prospect of so many new experiences.

[BRIDGET SATTERLEE | FEMALE | SHE/HER] Hecate Academy welcomes LOTTIE TOMAS, the 19 year old UNDINE. LOTTIE is described as OPEN-HEARTED and INQUISITIVE, but can also be PETULANT. LOTTIE is into VOYEURISM, IN ALL FORMS; WATCHING THE TIDES, WATCHING OTHERS LOCKED IN PASSION. We wish them luck in finding their Witch as well as scholastic success.

Everyone meet Lottie! Lottie is a little bit of an interesting bird. Here are the bullet points:

Lottie was born to a large family. Thirteen brothers and sisters, to be concise. She is the youngest. She doesn’t know many of them, as they are decades older than her.

But her family swam in something of a tightknit community who believed that all beings on land were evil.

Enough of her little clan had experienced terrible things and Lottie was under the impression that anyone on the outside was evil.

Arranged unions were very much a part of her culture. She had a planned union when she was eleven. She thought this boy was perfect. They grew up together, knowing that they would be mated one day.

And then, when she was nearly eighteen, he came with news. He’d been up to the surface, he’d met those who walked on land. And they were kind and generous, unlike what they’d all been told for years.

It took Lottie a few months to get over her initial concerns, but eventually, little inquisitive thing as she was, she went with her betrothed to land.

He was right; everyone was wonderful. Lottie didn’t speak their language, didn’t know their customs, but she broke free from the clan and left.

And that included leaving behind the one she was supposed to wed.

Lottie lived on the outskirts of towns for about a year, taking in everything that she could, her sharp mind ravenous for new information. She soon learned how to speak and communicated. She picked a name that people could pronounce. 

She was identified as an undine by another supernatural creature when she returned to the water one day, out of necessity. This creature is the one who informed her about the Academy.

And now, she wants an education. Why wouldn’t she?

Lottie has sworn never to permanently return to the water. She feels betrayed by her entire clan, feeling as though they lied to her.

Connections:

Members of her clan.

The undine she was engaged to.

The supernatural who found her and introduced her to Hecate.

Any measure of friends/foes/people she’s met along the way.

She’s pretty, uh... unpracticed in the ways of sex (aka: VIRGIN AF), so I’d like someone to see that through with. I imagine she’ll be a little freak when it’s all said and done.

Literally anything else! HMU with your own ideas, and I’ll see you on the dash!
