full name: josette olivia saltzman. nicknames: josie, jo. gender: non-binary. pronouns: she/they. sexuality: pansexual. parents: alaric saltzman & josette laughlin ( bio ), & caroline forbes ( surrogate ) & stefan salvatore ( step father ) siblings: elizabeth 'lizzie' saltzman ( twin ) traits: when dark; apathetic, erudite, selfish, dangerous, unpredictable, & calculating when not; kind, insecure, level-headed, erudite, attentive, & self-sacrificial. species: dark siphoner. allegiance: emissaries of the too-bright sun when dark ; the resistance when not ( more specifically lizzie, hope & chris )
josie is canon compliant up to season four ! post legacies ;
josie's solo travels came to an end when wyatt halliwell outed the existence of the supernatural. they found it too dangerous to be separated from lizzie and hope and quickly made her way back to them. falling in line with the resistance was easy as it was something that josie firmly believed in. neither wyatt nor the initiative were right in their eyes so it was a no brainer.
working with the resistance felt natural, it was a cause josie wholeheartedly believed in. they would have stayed with them until the end if it hadn't been for that curse. it hadn't been meant for josie, but for chris. hurled in the halliwell's direction, though instead it was josie who leapt forward and took it. the second the magic touched her, the darkness of their own was thrust forward. while josie had been trying to integrate the dark version of themself over the years, she wasn't entirely successful. still fearful of those bits of themself.
now dark josie was at the helm, in control of the body while jo clamored inside to break free. at first dark josie believed that having the curse running through their veins, keeping them at the front, that they had a fountain of dark magic they could siphon at the drop of a hat. they'd used it for a bit, until they could feel the curse weaken, the fight of the version locked inside her was getting stronger. dark josie couldn't afford to be pushed aside again.
they believed their survival was in ripping themself away from the family that would so surely try and bring them back. wyatt's cause appealed to them of course. switching sides was obvious. dark jo kept as much physical distance from lizzie, hope, chris, & the rest of their family as they could. they didn't want the josie inside to feel that they had anything to fight for. especially when at times they could feel her battle for control of the body.
now with them back in the past, keeping distance wasn't as easy as before. in fact it gave the josie inside them some new hope. dark josie can feel her days are numbered and that is a very dangerous place to be.

gender : nonbinary
age : very , very old

sexuality : bisexual
mbti : istj
enneagram : type 1 ( sx )
tarot : the chariot
character tropes : and i must scream , what have i become , who wants to live forever , death seeker , disowned sibling , horror hunger , kill the ones you love , cain and abel , roaring rampage of revenge , you are what you hate , used to be a sweet kid , no place for me there , fallen hero

* & ◞ 𝐢𝐢 . BACKGROUND .
all you ever wished for was a good death. a quick blade to the neck , a spear through the heart ---- to be eased into the meadows of fólkvangr where freyja ( and perhaps even your wife ) awaits. denied and denied again .... your brother , your mother , the snare of the other side , it keeps you. this affliction denies you what you're owed. the rot in your veins festers. and still , you persist.
you loved them once ( and maybe somewhere in your volcanic heart , still did ). how could you not ?? cradled in your arms , they were small and strange and needy. some you held before their father did , woke in the night to watch eagle-eyed and rock to sleep when mother was too bone-tired. and as they grew , they burst with life. a painter , a diplomat , a romantic , a strategist , an idealist ..... so different and so the same ---- all hell-bent on needling you into insanity. when you marry zahara , you leave the home with some reluctance. eager as you were to start a family of your own , your ties to the one you had ran blood deep.
henrik's death didn't just end his life. your mother's grief turned pernicious. when you woke after your father turned his blade on you , it was in a skin that fit differently. zahara's love was mixed with revulsion. ayana had warned your mother of the consequences and she hadn't listened. now she and the tribesmen you'd come to call family lay to waste. your home in ashes. your brother's memory tainted. you should've agreed when zahara offered you a swift death. instead , you follow your siblings.
your little monsters. your enfants terrible. you'd loved them from the moment they were born , since childhood ..... but children are meant to grow. their games were less charming when they used fangs and claws in the place of wooden swords , their selfishness and anger less innocent. they tear through towns and people without thought or care. there was no honor , no purpose , only gluttony. you were no stranger to blood or death ( had relished in it , from time to time ) but this was ..... this was something else entirely. you talk yourself hoarse speaking of discretion and care. they think you droll. you think you're trying to save them from themselves. still , you don't leave.
really you should have expected the dagger to the back.
when you wake , you're in hell. stretching out before you , is a centuries long void. in that time , you live a thousand lives and forget them just as quickly. you hear the voice of your brother or your wife or a stranger ( they all blend together , in the end ) you wake only to find it was a dream. you scream without sound. you wait for someone.
no one comes.
when elijah pulls the dagger from your chest , some part of you is tempted to stay in the coffin. you've forgotten who you are. around you , the world screams. it's all too much for your addled mind. you stumble through the motions of life with a throbbing migraine and a tremble in your hands. the visions that kept you company in your coffin haven't left you. you know nothing of love and trust , only the yawning chasm you were left in. it hurts. they hadn't thought of you once and it hurts. when your mother tells you that they've spawned more monsters ( hundreds ?? thousands ?? how many ripped through the streets as their siblings had ?? ) you're horrified. after everything , death would be a gift ----- even if it was one your siblings had no intentions of accepting.
death brings no peace. trapped on the other side , you wander. you plot. you look for your wife or your sister and come up naught. when you're yet again resurrected , you're world-weary and bone-bitter. your siblings have spent your death doing what they may. the town is overrun by monsters. you're plagued by life. esther promises redemption , but you only look for resolution.
* & ◞ . ETC .
obviously divergences vary heavily with plotting , but in regards to canon changes :
---- finn was closer with their siblings while human than shown in show. the rift started after being turned.
---- finn's feelings towards hope are more complex. once they actually laid eyes on her , they'd have a much harder time going after her ---- resentment and envy turn to bitter melancholy at his own inability to have children / their children dying before birth.
---- finn would not have intentionally turned another person , let alone one they loved , so sage was an accident or turned by one of the others.
---- the details surrounding cursing kol would most likely be a little different ; it isn't that they wouldn't of done it , but i suspect they would've been a smidge more remorseful after the fact lol
---- vampire or not , finn struggles with depression , anxiety , psychosis , ptsd , depersonalization , derealization , migraines , sensory meltdowns , disorientation , cognitive issues and other effects of long-term deprivation

( Nathan Parsons • He/Him • Cis Male • 25 •) did you hear WHEN THE FIRES HAVE SURROUNDED YOU AND THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD'S COMIN' AFTER YOU, I'VE GOT BLOOD ON MY NAME? it reminded me of JACKSON KENNER. rumor has it they’re from the PAST. they say they’re a WEREWOLF, that explains why they’re loyal to THE CRESCENTS.
BASICS
Name: Jackson Kenner
Age: 25
Gender: Cis male
Date of Birth: June 16th, 1984
Place of Birth: New Orleans
Species: Werewolf
Sexuality: Bisexual
FAMILY
Mother: Kaia Kenner †
Father: Hudson Kenner †
Grandparents: Mary Dumas & Richard Dumas
Siblings: None
Kids: Currently, none. In the future, Hope Mikaelson (Step-daughter)
ABOUT
When Jackson was a baby, a rival pack sought out to end one of the two great families of the Crescent pack. His parents, Kaia and Hudson fought tooth and nail to protect the pack and their child.
In the end, the Crescents won the fight. However, the win didn't really feel like a win because of those they lost, including Jackson's parents.
With the loss, Jackson was raised by his grandparents.
From the time that Jackson could walk and talk, Richard has been "training" him to take up the Alpha title for when the time comes. Jackson didn't have a normal grandson/grandparent relationship with Richard. Richard refused to show an ounce of affection, believing that it wouldn't "toughen him up" for when he needed to fight.
Mary on the other hand, was the complete opposite. She adored Jackson (and the rest of the entire pack as her own grandchildren). She would tell him stories about his mom, and some of his dad too. She would tell the pack kids the history behind the crescent wolves, and what greatness they would be. When you needed someone to talk to, she was the person to go to.
Jackson's very best friends are Oliver and Aiden. He would go to the mat ten times over for them.
When Jackson was seven, Marcel sent out Brynne Deveraux (who was possessed by Céleste Dubois unknowingly) to put the curse on the pack. They were cursed into the wolf forms at all times except that of a full moon.
With the limited time they had, Jackson was mostly trained on how to be an alpha while in wolf form. Sometime over the years, Richard was killed and Jackson became the alpha of the pack.
After Richard's death, Jackson swore that he was going to be a better alpha than his grandfather was. And while they were still cursed to the wolf forms, Jackson made a promise that the Crescents were going to rise again. A promise he very much still plans to keep.
Jackson is openly bisexual and has no qualms about it. When Aiden had come out to him, he told him love was love - and that's something he truly believes in.
With the curse now broken, Jackson is now searching for a way for his pack to retain their wolf whenever they please and is also working to get the Crescents back to the greatness his grandmother once told them about. He's very pack driven, and while loyal and all around a good guy, revenge on Marcel is definitely on his mind.
He's betrothed to Hayley Marshall (Andrea Labonair) but doesn't know how he feels about that. Arrangements make him uneasy. He knows it's for the strength of the pack, but he doesn't like the idea of being told who he has to marry.

who she WAS: kind eyes, a bubble of laughter, bright smile, heart full. love blooming in her chest after one conversation. sunshine and flowers sprouting in the wake of each footstep. setting a positive example for her younger siblings. growing into the witch she knew she was destined to be.
as time passed: denying the jaded perspective time has given her, clinging desperately to the person she used to be, an actress of sorts, portraying her idealized version of herself. fighting tooth and nail to keep her family together ( every last one of them ), missing her mother, holding out hope that the shadows will not take her empathetic nature, exhausted, homesickness deep in her bones. some might say she's her mother's daughter ; tempted by darkness in the name of love.
What is their goal?
saving her family, wyatt's salvation. not losing herself or anyone else in the process. restoring the world to the balance it so desperately needs. staying alive. making her mother proud. saving her family, wyatt's salvation. finding some sense of a normal life whatever that looks like. love, all consuming, earth shattering, suffocating, love. saving her family, wyatt's salvation.
When was this goal chosen?
all the loss and pain her family has endured slamming into her with the loss of aunt piper, her mother, aunt paige, wyatt's decent into what he's become.
Where do they go from here?
unfortunately, little miss pj is losing steam ( it certainly won't stop her ). the fact that her sister and the demon she's in love with are members of the emissaries of the too bright sun her resolve is paper thin. i'm dabbling w the idea of her switching sides mostly in attempts to keep her sister and that love of hers in her life, as well as a fun lil last ditch effort to get to wyatt.
Why did you choose the quote for your character?
just wish you would've seen me / when it used to come so easy / i like to say it is easy to stay / but it's not for me / cause i'm barely here at all / slow down now, secret's out / and i swear now everything is perfect
truthfully pj finds that she is turning into a shell of her former self. she misses how free-spirited and optimistic she was once was. when she didn't have to put on an act, when she just got to exist.

ABOUT
Bonnie's wiki is found here.
Unknown to Bonnie, she's about to face some big changes.
She just learned that she's a descendant of the Salem witches and that she and her grams are supposedly witches.
She's kind of shrugging it off because it just sounds insane, but it's constantly nagging at her.
While keeping up her social life, she's figuring all this information out from her grams and teaching herself magic.
