tw: suicide mention. it all begins —and ends— with their family. mateo loved them deeply. the oldest of three siblings, he always made sure to take care of them. when they were attacked, when they all died, all except for him, he died as well. the years have not made it easier on them —they’re still young by immortal standards, after all—, and everyday is a fresh reminder of what they’ve lost. moved into saints shortly after being converted in hopes of finding it all easier to deal with, to no avail yet. they hate it, what they’ve become, and any attempt and ending their own misery has proven to be fruitless. he lives, now, trying to hold on to the memory of them, trying to pass inadvertent by anyone else. hound records, his record store, is a homage to his younger sister.

close friends (0/2): mateo has been living in saints for over two decades now, so it’s only natural that they’ve managed to open up to some people enough to consider them close. mateo is loyal like no other, so these friends are the one’s he’ll always show up for.

ALICE BIRLEY crossed the city limits into saints : you know , the twenty nine old HUNTER , who is told they give off you’re on your own kid by taylor swift vibes . they've been here for twenty nine years , gracing the city with their boisterous but eccentric attitude
the loud kid - loud laughter, booming voice, really annoying
was a very carefree child, very active during the holidays, wanting to go all out for halloween etc .
has the weirdest outfits, even as a kid. colourful overalls, mismatched clips and ribbons in her hair, socks that never match
she always felt out of place in her town, she tried to belong to different friend groups but never quite fit in so struggled with a bit of loneliness throughout high school - always felt she was either too much or not enough
at the same time, tried to stay away from her family house - she felt that it was haunted, still does. she often found solace in midnight walks or early morning runs
tried to stay out of the ‘family business’ as much as possible, whenever her parents tried to talk about it around her, she’d just drift away or weird out, scream incoherently or pretend she was deaf and only reply in sign language
when her parents finally drilled it into her, she would always stay so desensitised, she kind of just put on this new persona where she has no feeling and she just trains and trains and do whatever is asked of her - because she felt that if she just does it then they will finally leave her alone
moved out of the family house asap
studied urban design and architecture in college (nyu) and was set on leaving all the family business behind, had an internship with a pretty well known firm, met the love of her life all at the age of 23
when she was 27 she came back for the holidays, ready to introduce him to the rest of hte family but her very upper class fiancee, that hails from british aristocracy who worked as a nature / animal photographer tragically passed away on the job from an animal attack - she knew the supernatural was at fault
and thus returned to her hunter roots and does not believe in peace between species
seeks to carry on the family tradition + eliminate the supernatural
she’s still pretty lost in her grief so she’s not quite sure how to go about it

you grew up listening to the humming of your mother, a rhythm that allowed you to sleep so peacefully . you weren’t even aware of being taken away in the night until the woman who saved you from the brainwashing of saint city’s inferior witches told you the awful story of your new beginning.
you’re biological mother was a powerful witch alongside your father but being that powerful had to come with a price and that was you. you were only a baby, you had no knowledge of anything, nor did you have any recollection of the faces before you. but there was one person who couldn’t stand to see a harming of a young one for a ritual to take place and that person grew up to be the women you would do anything to protect.
at that time, she wasn't ready to become a mother, and the only plan she had was to return you to your family but it was too late. they were already dead and now it was just you and your new mother who claimed you at the age of 20. both of you were gulity of crime, defying the witches and breaking a deal that was set in place for ten years.
you lived in an abandoned mansion but if one were to see it now, it was so different than what it stood before you got there. one might conclude that you were rich .. and you were. of course, it was only the money your biological parents had. they saw this coming, and they were prepared for it.
you grew up to be the light to her soul; the one who could never fail to make her smile. you brought happiness, joy, and laughter out of everyone with your chessy remarks and airhead like personality. other may suggest otherwise, but you were beyond capable of the powers you hold. elena taught you everything you needed to know, and with the powers passed down by your parents .. there was nothing you couldn't do.

no one knew who leon's parents were but they all knew that he spent his young life hunting, living next to swamp shed, and selling things that the village needed. he spent his childhood in peace, without any disturbance until he met the villages own hunter.
how could a young boy live without any parental guidance? thus , the hunter then began his investigation. he soon found out that the only reason why no one cared to step in was because they were scared. they heard stories of animalistic beasts with sharp teeth that could rip you to shred, and without a second thought, labeled leon as one of their .. lost cubs.
it was hard at first to gain the trust of a 10 year old boy who knew that everyone despite his being and only wanted the things he hunted for; the things they feared getting themselves.
after months of repeated bickering, the hunter then grew to be a father figure to the young boy. leon found happiness within his home and it wasn't just him sailing on a small boat, hunting for food and going into the village for the small things he needed. he was soon provided with a new home, new clothes and of course, new places to explore. the stigma that he was a werewolf cub ceased to exist after he brought to the village. turns out -- the hunter had a bigger title then what leon thought. he was the king to the village and what does a king always need? a heir.
the young crown prince grown to be a mischievous adventurer who quickly learned the nooks and crannies of the castle and how to slip away from guards and caretakers. but at the age of 17, his father declared that it was time for him to stop with the nonsense and learn how to do what was expected of him. ( to kill werewolves and vampires )
like fish to water, he was a natural at finding out where they were, what their weaknesses are and everything else in between. even in hand to hand combat, he proved to be a leader of men. often considered dauntless, there was nothing he would ask another to do that he wasn’t willing to do himself. because of this, he often found himself on dangerous missions, ones a royal prince shouldn’t have been on but refused to take no for an answer.
he was thirty years old when his life began to take a dark turn. there's been a wolf terrorizing his village, and leon already knowing the ropes and doing his handful amount of killing himself knew that this was no big threat to him. that was until he found out that the wolf who was killing his people without no remorse was.
it was his father, the king, the hunter who taught him how to kill every supernatural out there. it was all just apart of the plan. the king needed a heir, someone who was at a disadvantage, someone he knew wouldn't say no to such an offer ... someone who he trained, who he could deceive. but did his plan really work when he was caught red handed feasting on the queen? driven by rage and anger at the thought of his whole life being a pawn in the king's game, he wielded his sword but unfortunately .. his father knew his every move. he did train him, after all.
before he knew it, he was on the floor, bleeding out and saying goodbye to the sad life he lived while the king still walked, deceiving the village people and turning them to make an army. it was indeed, a festering bite on his shoulder that he did not take. the kingdom that night ended in flames, the empire has fell and the only remaining survivor was leon. he began his life alone, he died alone, but he rose again .. surviving alone with a great curse ( a blessing ). living his life filled with hatred, he only ever did the only thing he ever knew. hunt to kill. he saw kingdoms fall because of him, the fear in the eyes of cruel kings whose army had no chance against him.
he moved around a lot, he was immortal after all. and he was loved adventures and fooling around. he found himself in saint city when it was built, he saw how the originals and the council lived and he couldn't help but laugh. he knew this town will go down in flames, it was funny to him how they all think they could live together in harmony. it was unusual for him but he still had to contribute, had a role to play if he wanted to live there.
from a royal title came the title of a sergeant detective. he doesn't hunt to kill now, he hunts to find out the truth .. quite the contrary of what he was trained to do in the beginning but still it aligned pretty well to what his life had led to.
TL:DR .. leon was born a natural hunter and caught the eye of the king of his village who then took him in with the plan of wanting a heir but things took a bad turn when leon found out that the person who was terrorizing their village was the king himself. the king was the one who bit leon but ofc .. he didn’t die and wanting revenge for it, along with how the king played with him all his life .. leon went on a rampage and killed everyone in the kingdom . toured around the world before settling himself in saints, laughs at the idea of the town wanting to be in harmony with each other but ofc .. he has a role to play so he follows through.
I didn’t expect this to be long as fuckkkkkk tbfh ... I have some written wanted connections here and musings over here for a glimpse into leon a little bit more since i didn’t really go in depth with his personality .. just think damon salvatore. MXMMXMXMX
michiel huisman , he and his , cis man . gideon birley crossed the city limits into saints : you know , the thirty eight year old hunter , who is told they give off capsize by big black delta vibes . they've been here for thirty eight years , gracing the city with their disinterested but attentive attitude .
name: gideon isley birley.
age: 38.
date of birth: may 25.
species: hunter.
occupation: private investigator / owner of birley investigations, councilmember.
sexuality: heteromantic heterosexual.
hair color: dark brown.
eye color: hazel.
height: 6′0″.
build: athletic, lithe muscle.
SMALL BITS.
the eldest of the birley children, gideon birley was given just about anything he could want as a child … except freedom from the leash that his family attached to him from the moment he was brought into the world, and a decision against being a hunter.
highly private ( a proclivity formed in his early childhood ), gideon took to watching others and learning their habits. his adoration of mysteries and true crime thrillers were paralleled only by the natural curiosity the boy had, and an innately friendly disposition to those who took the time to spare a word. perhaps it was just an interest in the world he learned about hand-in-hand with basic human nature, gideon always found himself thirsting to know more about the supernatural citizens of saints.
family interests always seemed to override his own on a level of importance: gideon was thrust into many hobbies growing up and forced to tack along with values he cared very little for. business was something he found interest in, an attempt to escape the violent and somewhat bloodthirsty eye of his family, in the realm of their own personal hobbies.
despite his preference for keeping the quiet eye on his surroundings, gideon has always maintained a stern composition - he has an excellent capacity to speak up and eloquently, surely something trained into him from his youth.
he’s lived in saints his entire life, only moving for college and immediately back. still, he seeks to break that short leash the birley family has on him - a quiet and very private wish.
he serves as a councilmember for hunters, though he prefers a non-violent route as he’s always shunned his upbringing as a weapon, and much to the chagrin of his family prefers a quieter role —watching as the tensions build and surmising crimes committed within the limits of the city, as well as the reactions of his fellow councilmembers to gauge their positions and likeliness of involvement (good or otherwise).
gideon used his MBA to start a private investigation firm, birley investigations, which looks into all cases … human or otherwise.
he’s private, but always watching. quiet, but not meek. gideon simply knows better than to advertise his knowledge … without charging a nominal fee.
privately, and as a hobby, he works as a luthier —making and restoring guitars. his truest of interests has always lay with music, something he was turned off from pursuing as a child. he has a collection in his home.
gideon is not an active hunter. despite the conditioning his parents instilled onto him as a child, despite his label and his position ---he wholly refuses to participate in something he views as entirely barbaric. so much so, that he doesn’t even entertain the conversation of hunting outside of his position, which he’d sooner use as a platform to promote peace than violence.
POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS.
partner: working as a private investigator is a lot of work. this individual would either need to know about the supernatural ( or be a member of their species ) and help gideon with those types of cases, or be human who has no idea and simply works the plain cases. someone gideon has known for a while, and trusts with the business. they’re not quite equals, but this partner is the next best thing to gideon himself as the owner. 0/1 - wc on the main.
family: simple as that. there’s 3 open spots for siblings of some and any fashion and family dynamic can be discussed and plotted as family appears. 0/3.
adopted daughter: not officially, but it might be as good as. in his endless quest to spite his parents and his birthright, gideon will give the skin off of his own back if it means helping someone who needs it. enter his adopted kid ---family acquaintances through hunting where they met the wrong end of a werewolf bite and showed up on his doorstep, bloody and terrified. it took zero seconds for gideon to let them in, to look after them, and to keep them safe. his door is always open for them, a room always made up, and affection always offered in only the way a pseudo-parent can. nobody should be punished for what they are, and he’ll end the world to keep them safe, if he has to. 1/1 - odette batista.
best friends: he’s bound to have them. people who know him like the back of their hand, and vice versa. inside jokes, mischief, the whole nine. these are his bread and butter, his people. he’d kill for them, really. 0/2.
close friends: like the above, but perhaps not as close. while strangers and those who are unfamiliar with gideon might claim he’s quiet ( and for the most part, he is ) these people know him for how he really can be. they grab beers together, they go to the gym together, they make shit happen. you know, friend stuff. 2/3. - lauren darrow, saniyah jordan.
ex-wife: it happened fast, many years ago. an act of rebellion against his parents - a formal fuck you and everything you stand for when it came to pressuring his life. the marriage lasted a whole year before it dissolved, and gideon passed the idea of alimony over to his now ex-wife ---something the birley family funds. in the end he got the last laugh with it, though there’s still some unresolved something there, even this many years later. 1/1 - aslı kaya yıldırım.
ex-girlfriends: gideon isn’t one for serious relationships so much, if only because work is busy and his attention lays either with that or with council work, when it comes up. he’s been in saints for almost his entire life, so he’s bound to have had a few more serious relationships. nothing for more than a couple of years at best, and whether or not they ended amicably or not is up for discussion. he would have always been loyal to the relationship, never stepping out, even if he let work take his main focus more often than not. details can absolutely be discussed, open to any species. 0/3.
current lover: something on and off. work, their lives, something separates them. she and gideon go months without seeing each other, then have bursts of spending an inane amount of time together. emotions have never been discussed, as far as gideon knows it’s just a physical thing, but more can be plotted. whether they’re currently on or off and how they got together initially can also be plotted out. open to any species. 0/1.
one-night stands: he’s had a few. more than a few. open to any species. 2/5. - amara demirci, aracely gomez.
clients: he’ll assist anyone with any job, though some require more money up-front than others. be it a human issue ( think your spouse is cheating? want to expose your corrupt boss? ) or a supernatural one ( think that pesky vampire is encroaching on your turf? want to prove a hellhound is sabotaging you? ) gideon is your guy. unlimited.
blood bag: every so often he gives blood to this particular vampire, and not for money - he has more of that than he knows what to do with. it’s for favors, to be owed at a later date. information, or maybe help in some fashion. gideon is timely with his deliveries ---neat, sterile, and very polite. it’s an ongoing yet secretive arrangement, but he’s happy to keep it going. 3/3 - open to vampires. - envie yeun, drusilla kovacs, aracely gomez.

name: richard aemon ifor
nicknames: ricky, raven, dick
pronouns: he/him
dob: tba / virgo
species: human - hunter from the ifor clan from north wales
occupation: crematory operator / bouncer (formerly) / hunter
𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬: typical hunter abilities, combat proficiency, natural survivalist, specializes in tracking and long-range kills, can take down a werewolf with a knife.
𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬:
richard was the oldest in his generation and always held responsible for the actions of his siblings. his younger sister and brother used this to their advantage and as a result there was a rift made between them that lasted well into their twenties. his father believed in a more spartan approach to things and this spats would mean they were isolated to the wilderness if their fights were too severe in an effort to 'build character'.
born and raised on the outskirts of snowdonia national park in a compound hidden for centuries, richard only knew his family's teachings. his parents instilled a strict code from early on; it was kill or be killed. the ifor clan had survived romans and british, it would survive devils and beasts, his grandfather would tell him. richard was devout in their teaching, his family's pride. it wasn't long before he set to traveling with his father on hunting trips to countless countries. john ifor was insistent his son learn the family business as his father taught him and his father taught him and onwards.
he would ultimately end up betraying his family all because of a wolf. richard hadn't planned on it but it felt inevitable. his father killed the wolf's father and he was sent to finish the job. richard couldn't pull the trigger and he went against centuries of training and rhetoric; he let the wolf live. worse still he cared for him. in the end, richard put a bullet in his father and vanished off the grid.
richard is fairly hard to approach, granted he has a soft spot for dogs. naturally he is wary of strangers and chooses to be fairly isolated with a few choice exceptions. it takes a lot for him to open up and talk which helps with his job. it's easier to enforce the rules if you don't appear friendly and in a city full of supernatural creatures there's no one better at guarding a door. three years ago though he was quick to make a career change and finds the solitude of the funeral home more than agreeable.
work keeps him busy for most of his free time and richard likes to use it as an excuse to see more of the city in the early morning when he gets off his shifts. richard spends most of his free time haunting the raven (the joke isn't lost on him) claiming it's only because of the coffee. some weekends he ends up at black cat but most of the time he isolates in his cabin on the outskirts of town hunting game. if you manage to find him you might be lucky enough to walk away with five pounds of venison or unlucky enough to end up with a few broken bones.
𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬: shapeshifting, typical familiar abilities, some combat proficiency
𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬:
jonas was the runt of the proverbial litter and somehow outgrew his siblings. the youngest and most curious, he expected to find a witch first. however he is the last to find a bonded partner and his siblings constantly hound him for this fact.
born and raised in a little village on the outskirts of a town that no longer exists, jonas has never found a reason to stay in one place for long. his parents long since wanderer and he and his eight siblings have followed suit with each of the other amado family finding and settling with either a human of their witch. jonas was never content for such a life and found himself in saints after a delivery job from a foul mouthed vampire. immediately he fell in love with the place and hasn't found a reason to leave - yet.
he has always had a fascination with witches due to being brought up to respect and help any of their kin. to this day, if a witch is in need jonas will always make the time to help. while taught to be wary of other supernatural creatures, jonas' occupation has brought him into close contact with many of them. vampires being his least favorite due to their arrogance and general superiority complexes that seem to run rampant. his best friend growing up was a werewolf and though the two parted ways it has endeared him to their kind.
jonas does not automatically like people. granted he has a soft spot for humans and witches, naturally he is wary of strangers. it takes a lot for him to warm up and even tolerate much less help someone and he has been known to actively avoid getting involved if he is in the middle of a job.
delivery work occupies most of his free time and jonas likes to use this as an excuse to see more of the city. however as time goes on, even he won't admit that he craves a little social interaction. more often than not, jonas can be found haunting cheap thrills looking for a little company.

edward cullen inspired
BUT BUT butts, he gets pissed off quicker
like if you’re not using common sense, he just -- won’t be able to deal
if you say something that doesn’t make sense, he doesn’t argue, he just gets up and leaves
281 years bruh, that’s a lot - he was turned by a vampire lover. didn’t want to be though. yeh, he loved her but like not enough. life was hard, he wanted to go in peace but nah - this selfish sob said sike
he couldn’t love her after that, he just thought she was a selfish bleeping bleep - in his rage he accidentally k-worded her - he does regret it a lot and often daydreams about what could’ve happened if that didn’t happen - maybe he would’ve lived a happier life, maybe he could’ve loved her again
but after that, he doesn’t think romantic love exists anymore
that’s why he’s very no bullshit, he says what he’s thinking, he’s very honest, does’t really care what happens anymore and often doesn’t think of the consequences of his own actions
he likes the peace in saint city, he sticks to himself - hobbies include, playing the violin and knitting
very over protective of his family
his humour is also weird - like dank memes. idk. probably. he laughs at weird shit.
