( kk. 27. he/him/they/them. pst. )

Remy knows how to skateboard, rollerblade, and surf.
His band isn’t super popular but they have a big following among the local New Yorkers.

Loves his twin siblings to death and is constantly seen with them on the weekends at the park eating ice cream.
Goes by a fake alias for his photography.
Tells his family he leaves for a out of town photoshoot on the days surrounding a full moon
Doesn’t know how to feel about the supernatural world, but has accepted his new life with a smile on his face
His wolf form is one of the smallest in the pack but he’s also one of the quickest
Is absolutely in love with the city
Will always find time to eat a doughnut or participate in drunk karaoke

CONNECTIONS
-Friends he knew back in Cali, his ex in cali, friends from new york, friends from other places in the world he traveled, werewolf mentors, supernatural mentors, people he works with in the fashion industry, bandmates, fwbs, enemies (though you’d have to be literal satan to want to harm my cinnamon roll)

( ana de armas. cis female. she/her. cinnamon girl & lana del rey. ) have you seen Elvyra Ramos strolling around central park at lunchtime? rumor has it they’re actually 99 years old, but i’m pretty sure they’re only 29. they’re currently posing as an artist, but when dusk falls, you can usually find them heading home to Manhattan by subway. apparently they did attend the met gala this season! ( lyndsay. 25. she/her. est. ) @duskintro
background (tw; mention of ambiguous consent because of vampire compulsion/intoxication)
Elvyra was born in Cuba but immigrated to the US with her parents just before her 7th birthday. She doesn’t remember much from that time, except for her love of her grandparents and a threadbare stuffed rabbit that was tragically lost during their travel.
In fact, most of her memories of her human life are blurry at best (it’s why she’s taken to journaling). She remembers struggling to fit in, feeling embarrassed by her family, feeling like sometimes she had to protect her parents instead of the other way around.
There were people in her neighborhood she could’ve befriended. People with shared experiences and a shared language that wouldn’t expect her to change, but she craved acceptance from everyone.
She remembers learning to do what she could to blend in with everyone else. Perfected her english and masked her accent, styled her hair, tailored her clothes and did everything she could to feel like she belonged, and it didn’t take long for people to notice.
It was right in the midst of the great depression, but Elle hardly noticed. Her parents had always worked hard for little pay and she was used to making do with what they had. Instead, she had simpler things on her mind. School and friends and boys. As a girl who constantly sought approval, she quickly learned that boys would give it to her freely if she just bat her eyelashes and said the right things the right way. And the other girls didn’t like it.
And the more she agreed to do, the more attention she got. She garnered quite the scandalous reputation at the time, trading in one type of popularity for another. Luckily, this one was much more validating, and her promiscuity became something of an identity to her.
Her self worth had become very wrapped up in her sexuality and she thrived under the forbidden attention, sought it out like a drug, always chasing a stronger high. This lead to a life driven by the reckless pursuit of pleasure–feeling wanted was an addiction, just a step away from feeling loved. It was only a matter of time before a vampire stumbled upon her, a beautiful young woman in her early 20s just begging for a bit of excitement.
The rest of her human life passed in a blurry haze. She had a vague awareness of being passed around a small coven of vampires alongside a few others, their blood constantly feasted upon. While she doesn’t remember much of it, she doesn’t remember being anything but happily plied with sex, alcohol, drugs and what food she needed to keep her alive.
There was no real reason for the small coven to keep her around for as long as they did but she spent years being toted around and doted upon, encouraged to participate in all sorts of debauchery until one day they took a little too much of her blood and, with a blissful smile on her lips, her vision faded to black. When she woke up, she was a vampire.
It was disorienting at first. She went off on her own for a while, traveling here and there and adjusting to her new normal, ever in pursuit of pleasure of those years of vampire compulsion.
Feeding off humans wasn’t ideal, she didn’t hold any animosity toward them, but she did love the rush of power after a fresh meal. Once she’d learned some self control, she kept would drink just as much as she could without killing anyone.
Sometimes she feels like, with unlimited time at her disposal, nothing matters. She can be prone to bouts of depression interspersed with brief periods where she’s determined to see and do everything there possibly is. It was on one of those benders that she found herself in New York City, a hub of the supernatural.
Being surrounded by so many people who understood what it was to be ‘other’ made her feel like she belonged, a feeling that she’d spent her whole life searching for, so she’s stuck around for a while. Sometimes she’ll disappear for a while, either exploring or wallowing or just getting off on her own freedom by ditching the shackles of responsibilities, but she always comes back. She hates to miss the drama, and there’s been so much of it recently.
She doesn’t work--doesn’t like to and has never had to, especially once she became a vampire--so she’s currently just posing as an artist in Manhattan.
personality
Elvyra is selfish above all else. She’s looking out for number one, and that means doing what she needs to do to survive/ get ahead/ have fun. she does have a sense of loyalty to other vampires, but that could just be because she knows going against her own kind wouldn’t serve her well in the long run
Self-control is not her strong suit. She wasn’t the most responsible human and now that she wrestles with the idea that nothing really matters, she can be even more careless. Instant gratification is her MO. She wants what she wants when she wants it and is prone to impulsivity.
She’s also motivated by a craving for acceptance. She often feels lonely and is desperate for anything that makes her feel loved, wanted, or otherwise like she belongs. She’s a hopeless romantic at heart, but a cynical one at that. 99 years without her perfect match has made her a bit jaded.
tldr;
elvyra has just been trying to fit in her whole life. first as an immigrant in america, then an adolescent in school, then a young woman in society, and now as a vampire in a world where she has to hide. in her quest for belonging and excitement she stumbled upon a coven of vampires that kept her for years until they accidentally went too far and turned her. she’s spent decades traveling, chasing highs and searching for where she belongs. she’s promiscuous and impulsive and selfish but knows how to have a good time and is ultimately not too terrible of a person. she loves sharing opinions no one’s asked for and generally defying authority.

꧁ ( hugh dancy. cis man. he/his. violence & grimes. ) have you seen jesse beaufort strolling around central park at lunchtime? rumor has it they’re actually 250 years old, but i’m pretty sure they’re only 38. they’re currently posing as a horror novelist at esperantos, but when dusk falls, you can usually find them heading home to manhattan by private car. apparently they did not attend the met gala this season! @duskintros
name: jesse beaufort.
age: 250, appears 38.
date of birth: january 13.
species: dhampir vampire.
occupation: horror novelist - successful.
sexuality: heteromantic heterosexual.
hair color: dirty blond / light brown.
eye color: hazel.
height: 5′9 ½ ″.
build: athletic, more muscle to his build but still considered thin.
small bits.
the second oldest of the beaufort family, jesse suffered many of the trials and tribulations that his other siblings did: namely that the family was incredibly poor.
always more withdrawn and prickly, to put it politely, jesse preferred the company of himself, and if he had to choose who to spend time with in his youth, it was his siblings over his parents or other people in general.
like most members of the beaufort clan, he went through a robin hood phase in his youth ---stealing from the rich in his family’s town and redistributing it to those less fortunate, including the beaufort family themselves. he was less inclined to do it because he cared and more because it was thrilling.
he was one of the first siblings - if not the first, to break off from massachusetts. jesse left only a note and went twisting into the wind to experience the world for himself - not beholden by family obligations or names, to discover who he wanted to be outside of the picture painted for him.
connections came slowly, but they came. through his many years jesse picked up many skills and crafts and posed as one person or another to acquire knowledge and information. never one to linger long, less for fear of being discovered and more due to lack of interest.
in the 1930′s he gave into baser instincts and went on an incredibly brief killing spree. the kills were in the paper for the two weeks they happened, and jesse managed to rack up a number those of lesser intelligence might consider impressive.
he never told ANYONE about his spree, not siblings, not friends, not lovers, not even his sole fledgling.
but he fell in love with one thing in that brief time ---the thrill of fear. it enamored him, enthralled him, and he began putting together the basis for a psychological horror that took many years to come into fruition.
in the 1990′s he finally published his works ---success built over the initial three novels, inspired by his time hunting his unfortunate victims. a tale that crawls up the spine and lingers in the back memory for some time after the final page had been read. jesse’s magnum opus and claim to fame.
he has no opinion or care for the supernatural war, nor the plight of humans or other species. for the most part jesse is wholly detached from it all ---he’s only thankful it’s not his obligation to hold a position on the council, and that leilana is the eldest to do so.
his return to new york, as he’s visited many times before, has been mainly to check in on his siblings ... but also for a current book tour. he does not intend on staying.
possible connections.
the editor: someone who is rather close with jesse, more due to work obligation than not. he tolerates them well-enough, they even share a drink or two during long nights. they have a good idea of the characters, the story jesse has weaved ... and perhaps they’re interested what his inspiration is. but he’ll never tell, he’ll just keep making them both money. open to any species. 0/1.
blood donors: he finds no satisfaction in hunting for blood. in fact, the collection thereof is a business, and jesse’s accumulated mass wealth in his lifetime. he pays these people quite a bit of money to donate their blood under certain circumstance (in front of him, he supplies the medical equipment for extraction, always very discreet). jesse simply asks for your quiet and cooperation on the matter and you will be well compensated. open to any species. 1/3, anna hyde.
lovers: former, current. jesse is not emotionally attached to anyone but occasionally has the physical itch. whether he’s established a habit with these people or it’s something new, it’s pointedly clear he’s only interested in stress relief. his attraction is more toward women who can handle themselves, he’s less inclined to find appeal in the softer in demeanor. open to any species. 0/3.
close friends: somehow he managed to nab a few people who are considered friends ... but he won’t say it out loud. either like minds or like in intention, jesse keeps the company of these two separately or together. they know him well, they just don’t know everything about him. open to any species. 0/2.
the fledgling: will likely become a wc on the main. the one person who touched jesse in a manner that echoed through his life. he cares for them like a child, found a similarity in them that no other person in the world bears to him. in a moment of weakness he reached out to them and changed them, intending on binding their lives in a way that would keep the connection alive. they are his only child, though not born naturally. he loves them, though he’d be loath to admit it aloud, and he lets them be free in their experiences. outside of his birth siblings, this is the only person he would die for, or kill for, outside of himself. ( think abigail hobbs to will graham in hannibal ). 0/1.

* fauna zhu // THE LOYALIST
( jessie mei li. non-binary. she/hers. game of survival & ruelle. ) that’s FAUNA ZHU, isn’t it? they’re always hanging around the ECLIPSE pack, so it’s rare to catch them alone. i heard they’re TWENTY-EIGHT years old, and they’re currently an INTERN at LINCOLN MEDICAL HOSPITAL, and ECLIPSE BETA. when dusk falls, you can usually find them heading home to THE BRONX by LYFT OR UBER.

EXTRA
FAUNA CAME TO NEW YORK CITY as a fifteen-year-old runaway. After a tragedy back home resulted in the death of nearly her entire immediate family. An accident triggered her curse, unbeknownst to her, and on the first full-moon thereafter, she tore her family apart.
Very few people know ‘her story’. Some of the wolves in the Eclipse pack that she’s grown close to know, including her Alpha and their closest inner circle.
Despite her young appearance, Faun remains somewhat level-headed where the pack is concerned. Sometimes more than others; sometimes more than all. She gently tugs the reigns when things are getting out of hand-- or when Beck slips, or more possibly, cannot be bothered. There is no question about who the boss is, however. Fauna is never likely to flaunt whatever sway she might have over anyone.
Make no mistake. She WILL kill for her pack.
I am still working through what connections I’d like to see her with, but I am open for just about anything, and the more angst-filled the better!

꧁ ( keanu reeves. cis male. he/his. hard bodied & ghost data. ) well, would you look at bishop aleksander slade this year? i believe they have been training for twenty-one of their fifty-two years of life. this makes them a high level hunter in their family, but they’re also pretty good at gunsmithing. when dusk falls, you can usually find them heading home to queens by motorcycle. @duskintros
name: bishop aleksander slade.
alias: b. aleksander slade.
age: 52.
date of birth: september 15.
species: human / hunter.
occupation: master gunsmith, contract hunter.
sexuality: grey-romantic heterosexual.
hair color: dark brown.
eye color: dark brown.
height: 6′1″.
build: athletic, muscular.
small bits.
bishop aleksander slade was born into a military family: his father was a marine corps officer and his mother was a field paramedic. as such he was moved from country to country his entire life.
he goes by aleksander, officially shortening his name on all documents to b. aleksander.
he lost his mother when he was 14 in active duty. this left him with his father, who imposed upon his son very strict rules and expectations. aleksander lived up to them all, and even exceeded them. however his father only ever gave credit where it was due and he was never met with pats on the back.
naturally he enlisted when he was 18. he served seven years before he was honorably discharged with an injury. civilian life did not settle well with him, and he took odd jobs for a little while before he was recruited by hunters.
aleksander applied all of his military training toward hunting and made a name for himself in the world after only a few short years. his cool, calm, and collected attitude while on contracts earned him a reputable place.
he’s never aligned himself with a family per-say, and he’s allowed his roots and extensions to cross into various types of connections: he has to get his potions from somewhere, after all.
aleksander is a reputable gunsmith. he makes everything from pistols to assault rifles. his skills extend into his personal arsenal, and he charges a pretty penny for his work.
never call him bishop. even if you know his name.
he holds no personal ill will towards or against one species - he’s an equal opportunity hunter, and he’s even killed humans when paid for it.
possible connections.
active contracts: a family whose currently hiring aleksander for his talents. 0/1 family.
clients: you can acquire one of aleksander’s specialty firearms for a nominal fee. it takes time to make them, and they’re never inexpensive, but they’ll be the best quality weapon you’ve ever had the pleasure of firing. most of his clients are through word-of-mouth, and they enjoy repeating business. 0/5.
friends: he’s been in and out of new york frequently in his time, as well as a well-traveled man. while he doesn’t have anyone whose incredibly close with him he has many acquaintances through his work and he’s allowed a few to become more than cordial. congratulations, you’re one of the few, now have a nice drink and a chat, yes?. 0/5.
professional connections: someone aleksander does his hunting business with. whether it’s another hunter he’s worked beside, a witch whose done spellwork for him ( paid well in exchange, of course ), werewolves he’s assisted in territory conflicts, vampires he’s been hired to assist, etcetera ... his connections are like a network of weeping willow roots: vast and well-spread. whether or not they like or trust aleksander is an entirely different story, but the relationship is wholly symbiotic. 0/5.
military buddies: perhaps they served with him. perhaps not, but they know of his service. war has a way of bringing people together, and even in times of peace there’s a connection that few will understand. aleksander was a marine, like his father, but he can recognize that spark in any branch of any military. it’s a connection even his friends don’t understand, a professional courtesy but deeped. 0/3.
one-night stands: a man has needs. he doesn’t open himself up frequently to these particular endeavors but he has tumbled in the sack with more than his fair share of women in his time. some it was a one and done deal, some happened more than that, but it’s always just been physical. open to 35+ ( please bear in mind aleksander’s age ) 1/3 - imogen o’riley.
the one big love: will likely be sent in as a wc on the main. it happened. he never imagined it would, but it happened like a whirlwind. he met her and fell in love and it was like having his body slammed into a cliffside by high-tide, stormy waves. for whatever reason they aren’t together any longer, but he still carries that torch for her. open to any species, please bear aleksander’s age in mind. 1/1 - elspeth blackbourne.

Sabine Minot-LaRue Malik
AN INTRODUCTION
( sofia boutella. cisfemale. she/hers. fear of the water & syml. ) supposedly SABINE MALIK is actually a GHOST, but i doubt it. they look like they’re 36, though they act like they’ve been on earth for FORTY years. i recently saw them in THE BRONX — i think they HAUNT THE LOCALS there. when dusk falls, you can usually find them heading home to STATEN ISLAND by FOOT. ( ezra. 30. they/theirs. est. )
@duskintros
tw: stalking, death
NAME: Sabine Minot-LaRue Malik
AGE: 40 (Died at 36)
SPECIES: Ghost
AFFILIATION: Unspecified Hunter Clan
OCCUPATION: Ghost
LOCATION: New Brighton, Staten Island, New York
FACE CLAIM: Sofia Boutella
SIGNIFICANT RELATIONSHIPS: Nishith Malik (Husband), Krisha Malik (Daughter)
PERSONALITY WISE: Vibrant, persuasive, and alluring. Sabine’s attitude somewhat mimic's cockiness, though she is far more fearless than she is confident.
BACKGROUND:
To Sabine, family was the single most important thing. It was as true in her thirties as it had been when she was five. Admittedly, things had become much more complicated over the years. Once she had sworn her loyalty, her fealty, to her namesake, the LaRue’s. To her father, who had been the iron fist of their clan, and her mother, who was smarter, and more refined than Sabine could ever hope to be. Their hands had come together to guide Sab down the path of a successful slayer-- one who would exercise her strength and great will to cleanse the realm of mutant sickness...
AS OF 2022 SABINE HAS BEEN A GHOST FOR FOUR YEARS.
At the age of twenty-two, Sabine enrolled in a medical program at NYU. The intention had never been to complete her degree, but rather, to make the acquaintance of a young man, Nishith Malik.
Nish belonged to a wolf pack that the LaRue’s had been hunting for decades, though in turn, the Malik’s had almost always known that they were being hunted.
The long-con had always been the most important part of the plan, and Sabine knew, she swore she was ready for this kind of commitment. She was ready to prove to her family that she was worthy of carrying on the LaRue legacy.
Sab learned his schedules, his mannerisms, and his habits. Somehow, she’d always been where he’d intended to be, and after a few years and many ‘what are the odds?’ incidents, the conversation came easily. Nish, much to her surprise, was easy to fall in love with.
FAST FORWARD TO 2018- when, after years of procrastination and excuses, the LaRue family finally decided they had waited long enough. They wanted the Malik pack, and Sabine was out of time Her death came shortly after, killed by Nish in the ambush her family had orchestrated.
CONNECTIONS:
Open for any and all connections-- there is a 100% chance that we can make just about anything work.
When she was alive, Sab was (almost intimately) familiar with a network of other hunters that ran through New York City. There’s a good chance that she knew people from founding families from when she was alive.
Since becoming a Ghost, she’s purposefully tried to avoid instances where she might run into other Ghosts. She’s heard horror stories about what can happen to weak spirits, and frankly she is terrified.
Sabine spends, like, 99% of her time in The Bronx, where her [ex]husband lives. She’s assertive, and unafraid, which means she’s never had any qualms about the humor she finds in tormenting the more easily accessible Werewolves in the city.

꧁ ( michiel huisman. cis male. he/his. capsize & big black delta. ) well, would you look at gideon birley this year? i’ve heard they’re thirty-eight years young, and a private investigator at birley investigations. you can always find them sipping a cognac while they make and restore guitars. when dusk falls, you can usually find them heading home to queens by subway. @duskintros
name: gideon isley birley.
age: 38.
date of birth: may 25.
species: human / head of the birley family.
occupation: private investigator / owner of birley investigations.
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 and future councilmember on their behalf, 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.
highly private ( a habit 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 nature to those who took the time to spare a word. perhaps it was inherited from a lineage long before - the eldest daughter that held out her olive branch, or 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 new york city.
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 not something he found interest in, but being forced to attend college for it wound up more helpful than not.
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 new york 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 the councilmember for his family, and much to the legacy of his family prefers a quieter role ---watching as the tensions build and surmising crimes committed upon his city’s fellow denizens, feeling as if it’s not his place to say anything or step in.
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 apartment in long island city, queens.
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. 1/1 - elspeth blackbourne.
family: simple as that. there’s 5 open spots for siblings of some and any fashion and family dynamic can be discussed and plotted as family appears. 1/5. verena birley.
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. 0/3.
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 NYC 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. 1/1 - asli kaya yildirim.
one-night stands: he’s had a few. more than a few. open to any species. 0/5.
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 banshee is sabotaging you? ) gideon is your guy. unlimited.

Intro
@duskintros
( ludi lin. demi male. he/him/they/them. heaven is here & florence and the machine. ) supposedly li jinhai is actually a kumiho, but i doubt it. they look like they’re 31, though they act like they’ve been on earth for 1000+ years. i recently saw them at the olympics — i think they’re a(n) diver there. when dusk falls, you can usually find them heading home to STATEN ISLAND by private driver.
full bio can be found here!
Jin is fluent in Mandarin, Japanese, English, Korean, French, and Spanish. He has an interest to learn Greek next.
Like most huli jing, Jin despises dogs and, especially, werewolves. He likes playing tricks on them the most.
Despite being alive for so long, Jin has not sired any children nor has the desire to. He does, however, love being an uncle to the many, many, many nieces and nephews his siblings and cousins have birthed in the millennia he’s been around, especially other ocean huli jing like himself.
In Huli Jing culture, it is disgraceful and potentially power-losing to break a promise or vow made to someone so Jin has grown to be very careful of making such pacts with people
Those with abilities to see through disguise will see a dark blue aura in the shape of a fox surrounding Jin’s body. The same color shines in his eyes when he uses his powers
Similarly, at twilight, Jin’s shadow will be in his fox form. It’s also revealed under the light of a full moon. Or when he’s drunk.
Jin will get physically weaker the longer he’s away from water.
Jin is polygamous and is never been in any serious relationships. Most huli jing look down on entrapment or devotion to one sole being, which he feels in relationships.
Being around for so long, Jin actually has shrines dedicated to him in Korea. He likes to visit them and, sometimes, will bless travelers who pay tribute to them in his fox form
When a huli jing grows their ninth tail, they are able to ascend and become a Celestial huli jing, either by choice or by death. Jin is in no hurry to do either.
MORE TO COME!
POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS
-Chaotic Friends, Responsible Friends, Lovers, People He’s Tricked Over The Years, MORE FOX SPIRITS
-With Jin being a shapeshifter I do have one idea floating around my head for a unhealthy fwb where they’ve lost a significant other and maybe Jin shifts into them when they hook up? Or maybe they don’t even hook up? Who knows!?
-Literally ANYTHING!

𝐌𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑. miray yıldırım
𝐅𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑. kaan yıldırım
𝐒𝐈𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆(𝐒). brother (wc)
She comes from a family that was born with the curse but for many generations no one has triggered the curse. Her parents are unaware that they carry the werewolf gene, and as far as aslı knows her brother is also unaware.
In her 20’s she was engaged to Beck O’Dell, but was unfaithful, until he found out and broke off the engagement when she was around 29.
Spent most of her life in Manchester UK, before moving to the US with her brother. She started out living in Queens, then moved to The Bronx.
She went back to studying to obtain a degree in cosmetology from a state-approved training program and then her mortuary science degree in Long Island.
Aslı is far from perfect and makes a lot of mistakes, one being reckless with her driving.
She was banned from driving due to speeding and being caught drink driving. Whilst banned she still continued driving, and has a habit of driving too fast. One night whilst driving home she hit a person with her car and had instantly killed them. [This was in feb 2022.]
Her brother helped her ditch the car and report it stolen, to cover up the murder she knows he had help from someone else but doesn’t know who. Aslı couldn’t function out of panic that night.
Aslı has always liked to party and that hasn’t changed.
Doesn’t think she’s ever been in love or ever will be (although beck came close) so she has a long history of one night stands and short term relationships.
In February 2022 Aslı first shifted under the full moon and was supported through this by Beck O’dell, the pairs relationship has become complicated to say the least since then.
In March 2022 whilst at the St Patricks day celebration hosted at the O’Riley Tavern Aslı was forced to shift under the full moon again, however everyone was locked in and whilst chaos broke out Aslı, in her wolf form, attacked Kat O’Riley (hunter) and Gideon Birley (human). Although they both survived and have some lasting damage Aslı carries the guilt and shame with her and despite their forgiveness she will never forgive herself.
Aslı will eventually join the Crimson Pack although this is a current plot that is just starting.
Little things to know about her:
she has a huge dvd collection, yes that’s right. those shiny disks that you put in a player to watch the movie on. she likes the nostalgia of the old adverts on them before the actual movie starts.
she cannot cook. she attempts to sometimes and it results in a messy kitchen and burnt food. it’s best to order take out or eat something simple like pasta.
she lives in a 1 bedroom apartment that is small but homey in bedford park, the bronx.
when she transforms into a wolf the fur is a light brown color with specks of white fur running through.
Wanted Connections
Brother - close sibling relationship, aslı’s brother helped her when she accidentally killed someone. they would be an untriggered werewolf as aslı is the first in her family to trigger it.
Lover - on/off casual relationship, booty call. - gideon birley
One night stand(s) - open
Colleagues - could work with her at funeral homes or mortuary or at eden spa & salon
Best friend that is more like a sister - super close knows everything about each other and are almost always together, however aslı would not told them about the crash/murder and that it lead to her becoming a werewolf
Unrequited love – someone who has strong romantic feelings for her, but asli doesn’t feel the same. - markus hemming
Customers - customers that visit eden spa & salon.

( leighton meester. cisfemale. she/her. bulletproof & la roux. ) well, would you look at dahlia ames this year? i’ve heard they’re a full thirty-seven years young, and a waitress at riverdale diner. you can always find them sipping a strawberry kiwi koolaid while they work on a puzzle. when dusk falls, you can usually find them heading home to queens by car.
@duskintro
Name: Dahlia Marie Remington Ames
Age: 37
Occupation: Waitress
Pronouns: she/her
Gender: cisfemale
Children: Henry (7), Delilah (5)
Parents: Unknown, likely living
Siblings: one older sibling, one younger. (wc )
Born Dahlia Remington in New York to a long line of witches that went far back aligned with the dark magic. She was the second in her family born without an inch of magic. The gift never surfaced with her, though it did with her siblings. This brought on many arguments of possible infidelity on her mother’s side, but those were speculations that were never proven true.
Magic was more important than she was, and the lengths her family went to were disturbing. At the age of sixteen, on the night of a full moon her memory of the events are still blurry. She woke up in a tub of ice with a roughly stitched jagged line on the side of her body. It was with the assistance of a house keeper that she was able to get to the hospital in time. The thing that made this story even more bizarre - was nothing was missing. Just... switched. Her parents believed that perhaps if she had another coven’s organ in her that would spark her abilities.
All it did was cement that Dahlia couldn’t remain home. Especially when it only confirmed she was nothing special. Stealing what money she could from her parents and siblings from the house, she quickly took a bus and got out of dodge.
Upstate New York wasn’t bad, and the small town she landed in was the perfect place where she wouldn’t stand out. It there she would meet Henry’s father, her ex husband. Life had grown mundane, but she was content with it. Henry was born seven years ago, and Delilah would follow two years after. At first things were alright, and nothing within her decade of being with her husband had set off warning signs.
The false sense of security would dissipate once her husband suddenly didn’t come home one night. The local sheriff came in the morning to let her know that he was apart of a traffic accident and he hadn’t survived. Dahlia was left alone with two children, and the worst part was on the incident report the name of the culprit made goosebumps crawl over her skin - her eldest sibling.
That wasn’t an accident.
She did the thing she was best at and ran again. This time never really settling in one spot for too long. Barely scraping by to care for herself and her children. Reluctantly, she came back to Queens after her children started showing signs that she never had to worry about. Maybe that foreign kidney had some magic left in it after all.
TLDR:
Grew up mainly in Brooklyn.
Was born into a witch family, but is a mortal - she has no magic.
Ran away at sixteen after her family performed a ritual trying to unlock “her magic”. They did this by performing a kidney transplant unknowingly
Got married, had two kids under the radar.
Eldest sibling believed to have killed her husband in an ‘accident’.
Spent another few years on the run.
Ended up in Queens after noticing her children seemed to have inherited magic.
WANTED CONNECTIONS:
Connected by the kidney - The other part to what made her run in the first place. She has this person’s kidney in her body, and they may or may not have hers. I imagine this was another witch, but another magical creature could be... interesting as well.
In witch I trust - someone she sought out when she arrived in New York to try to suppress whatever is happening with her kids.
it’s our secret - someone she stays with for a bit until she gets an apartment of her own in Queens.
childhood connections - ppl she would have known when she was in school up until she ran away.
coworkers/regulars at the diner
spies of her family would be fun tbh!
hunter buddy she asks for protection from her family or one that’s using her as bait possibly.
Friends
exes
other mom friends / she needs play dates for the kids
babysitters
& anything else tbh

well, would you look at torin o’riley this year? i believe they have been training for thirty-seven of their forty-two years of life. this makes them a proficient hunter in their family, but they’re also pretty good at underground fighting. when dusk falls, you can usually find them heading home to queens by motorbike or foot.
tw : lots of triggers in here. abusive childhood , drugs , alcohol , death , blood , fighting , weapons.

[[ ＦＡＣＴＳ ]]
as a proficient hunter, he is skilled in a range of weapons from firearms to knives and excells in hand to hand combat – he can often be found in underground fight clubs.
torin has never had a real job. he worked in his families tavern as a teen and in his early twenties but would much prefer to run a con – he’s had to hustle more recently for money since leaving the family.
he was trained in critical thinking and problem solving from a young age. most might not think of it to look at him but he’s fairly intelligent, he would just rather drink or get high than apply himself.
like most o'riley’s he was raised to be loyal – although his view of this is tainted. he believes if his family truly needed him he’d be there, although he believes they’re better off without him around most of the time. his brother cian would also give you a very different opinion on torin’s loyalty.
he keeps people at a distance – he isn’t a good person and he knows it, he’s an asshole to keep people from wanting to be around him.
he has a lot of anger in him, he does well to get this out at fight clubs but he can easily lose his temper if someone looks at him the wrong way/says the wrong thing.
he has a lot of bitterness and resentment towards his family for the way he was raised. it wasn’t a life he wanted, nor was it a life he would have chosen for himself. he resents the way his brother, cian who seemed to accept the life so easily.
he harbours a lot of guilt, and often thinks if he’d been more accepting of the life, he was brought up in he could have been there to protect and save their parents.
he’s resourceful, he’ll use what he has to get by rather than asking for help.
he’s intuitive and can sense when there is a problem, although this is less likely when he is drunk or high.
he is independent, he doesn’t rely on anyone but himself since he left.
he often turns to using alcohol and drugs as a way of escaping the reality of his life, this has been the case for a number of years, although he’s become more dependent since his parents death. whilst under the influence his temper is particularly heightened, but his critical thinking & problem solving skills are severely impacted.
[[ ＢＩＯ ]]
like most o’riley’s he was raised from a young age into the life of being a hunter. during his childhood, there was no time for fun or games like most normal children and he grew up learning the family business with his brother cian. they were close whilst they were young, but as they got older torin learnt that not all families were brought up into this type of life, and he craved that normalcy that his life lacked.
their father was both emotionally and physically abusive in his methods of training with torin and all of his siblings. their father viewed killian as the weakest link and so he orchestrated his death to make it look like an accident, killian was killed in a car crash and when torin found out was threatened by killarney. torin kept quiet about this, fearing what their father would do to his other siblings. in his late teens his drug and alcohol abuse started, although mostly for recreational use to begin with. tensions grew between him and his family and although torin never spoke about how he felt or that he didn’t want this life, he continued to do what his family expected of him, while becoming cold and distant.
being the eldest sibling he was groomed to be the leader of the family, although when his parents were murdered by vampires torin felt that he was to blame. if he was more accepting of the life he thought he could have saved them, protected them or prevented their death. the grief and guilt consumed him and he left when the time came for him to take over and instead his younger brother cian stepped up.
although he stopped hunting for some time when he disappeared, he put those skills to other use. he continued running a cons for money, hustling and never having what is considered a real job. he stayed in motels, traveling on his bike across country, never staying in one place for too long. with grief and guilt consuming him he spent most nights intoxicated in one way or another to try and escape the hell his mind was trapped in.
six months ago (november 2021) torin returned to queens, too low on funds and not making enough through cons. he had money hidden behind empty panels in cupboards at the family home so he returned to collect his stash. here he bumped into cian who wasn’t the most pleased to see him. torin was staying in jets motor inn, queens, although he’d inherited the family home he’s yet to live there.
over the past 20 years torin had formed an unlikely friendship with leilana beaufort, a dhampir and a council member. the friendship was kept a secret from their respective families due to an incident that occurred with torin’s great, great, great grandfather and one of leilana’s children which caused a rivalry between the families. torin knew that despite council rules his father would find a way to take leilana out of the picture so their friendship had remained a secret until february 2022 where cian discovered how close the pair had been, causing a further rift between torin and cian.
torin is closer with imogen than his other siblings, the two having similar interests. despite this there is still some distance because of torin leaving abruptly after their parents death.
the age gap between torin and lennon means that the two aren’t as close. although torin still cares about each of his remaining family members.

( henry golding. cis male. he/him. save myself & ed sheeran. ) have you seen CASSIUS LALLEMENT strolling around central park at lunchtime? rumor has it they’re actually THIRTY-TWO years old, but i’m pretty sure they’re only FIVE HUNDRED ELEVEN. they’re currently posing as a(n) LAWYER at LALLEMENT AT LAW, but when dusk falls, you can usually find them heading home to MANHATTAN by CAR SERVICE. apparently they DID attend the met gala this season! ( deanna. 26. she/her. est. )
born a child out of wedlock whose mother died during childbirth. his father had another family already and cassius was introduced to it, where he’d go on to be raised alongside two half-sisters, his best friends.
during his human years he never wed, instead devoting his life to his religion and looking after his siblings once his father passed. when he was thirty-two the village they were living in was slaughtered by vampires, and cas and his two siblings were turned as one of those creatures. it’s something cassius struggled with for a long time, as it went against his religion, and his sisters struggled as well.
a turning point in their immortality was finding out their youngest cousin made it out of the slaughter alive, and for years the three siblings spent their immortality watching after that cousin and their family as their own guardian angels, making sure nothing happened to their family line.
in the beginning of the eighteenth century, the three siblings were attacked by a group of vampire hunters, and cas’ youngest sister didn’t make it out alive. her death brought a frenzy to him that he had never experience before: he lost his faith, lost his morality, and lost his sense of self. both him and his other sister blamed themselves for her death, causing them to have a falling out and going their separate ways. cassius made sure every hunter involved in the attack was killed, and then every person associated with those hunters, until he was uncontrollable.
he stays like this for over a century, until one night he preys on an old couple, only realizing until afterwards that they had left behind a sick daughter. she reminds him of his youngest sister, so he decides to turn her and save her life. it’s only after doing so that humanity begins to seep into him—first with guilt about turning her, especially after the last person he had turned against their will (an old human flame named hera) held it against him for a long time. he didn’t want that to happen to this girl, nor for her to remember that he murdered her family moments before. so he hired a witch to take all her memories, then traveled with the new vampire to new york city, where he knew his sister now lived as a figurehead of the city.
cassius’ intention was to drop the new vampire off with his sister and leave, but between siring genevieve and seeing his sister again, a flood of emotions finally hit him. it was then cas finally started to repent his sins and everything he had done wrong, eventually turning his life around and helping his sister with her spot on the council.
to this day, he's never completely forgiven himself for what he's done, but he's trying to use the rest of his immortality for the better. eventually he got into law, and now cassius works as a lawyer for his own firm, one that focuses on civil rights and criminal defense attorney that mostly works pro-bono. he feels very strongly about giving back to humans in the community, as well as being non-prejudice towards other species. cassius believes in the council of new york, always there to lend a helping hand should they ever need him.
cas is a complete gentleman, always polite and willing to help anyone. his alignment is lawful good which says about as much as could think of him tbh, he’s just a really good guy. it doesn’t always come easy to him, but after so many lives he’s taken and horrors he’s committed, he will spend the rest of his life doing what’s best for the community, knowing he’ll never be able to completely atone for his sins.

( archie renaux. cismale. he/him. A little bit dangerous & CRMNL. ) that’s ZAYN GREAVES, isn’t it? they’re always hanging around the CRIMSON pack, so it’s rare to catch them alone. i heard they’re TWENTY SIX years old, and they’re currently a(n) ZOOKEEPER/CRIMSON BETA at BRONX ZOO. when dusk falls, you can usually find them heading home to BRONX by MOTORCYCLE. ( j. 30. she/her. mst )
Name: Zayn Dwight Greaves
Age:26
Birthday: April 20th (Aries)
Birthplace: London, UK
Height: 6′1 (185 cm)
Occupation:Zookeeper
Current Location: Bronx, NY
Species: Werewolf (born)
Affiliation: Crimson Pack (Beta)
Relationship Status: Betrothed to (WC on main)
Background Summary:
Born in London to an arranged marriage, he was the only one from their union. Though his parents didn’t have love for each other, they had respect ( most of the time ). Born into a world of secrets, some he doesn’t even know himself. It turns out his father was unable to produce an heir, and they went an unconventional method that ended with her being pregnant with Zayn. Prepping him from a young age to follow his dreams, and what his expectations would be. He met the Demirs at the age of ten. Old enough to have some sense, but too young to be serious about anything.
His parents were the alpha and beta of a UK based werewolf pack that followed similar rules and practices of the Crimson pack. He was made to trigger his werewolf gene at the age of fifteen. Zayn dove himself into schoolwork because it was one of the only things he had control of. Becoming somewhat of a control freak on situations that fell under that bracket.
He moved to NYC and roomed with members of the Demir family when he turned seventeen. Zayn may not believe that his union will be one of love, but he is loyal to his pack. One of his favorite past times is to try to charm an unaffiliated wolf to join their ranks, or simply try to pry one away from their current packs.
He graduated with a bachelor degree, but is still in school wanting to also become more knowledgable in the veterinarian field. Currently he works as a Zookeeper at the Bronx Zoo not too far from where he lives currently. During his free time to work off steam he participates in underground fighting.
Wanted Connections:
Birth Father (Werewolf): Zayn has no way of knowing his father that raised him isn’t the one that he came from. However, there are three people that know the truth. His parents would never tell him the truth, and it’s likely they kept him separated from his true father.
Pack members: More crimson pack members
Targets: Conquests or targets that he may be considering swaying to join the crimson ranks. Could potentially be in another pack or unaffiliated wolves.
Classmates: Medical students or normal college students he might get along with.
Party/Drinking buddies
Ex Secret Lovers: Being betrothed at a young age, and not having romantically feelings caused him to wander when he was younger. He would have broken things off when it hit a certain point. He’s been “loyal” to the betrothal for the past four years. So it would have been prior to that.
Flirthship: Zayn is a huge flirt, and if there’s an opening he will find himself there.
Competitors: Fighting opponents he has fought or will be fighting in an underground fighting match.
Enemies: pls
Close friends: People that are within the pack or outside of it.
Will they or Won’t they (hunter): They know what he is, and he knows what they are. However it would seem the world around them finds great amusement. They always run into one another in a public setting, or when it’s private one of them always gets away before one of them dies.
Anything else tbh my brain just hurts sakldjasd

꧁ ( oliver jackson-cohen. cis man. he/his. control & london grammar. ) that’s ESMÉ EVERHART, isn’t it? they’re always hanging around the LICHEN pack, so it’s rare to catch them alone. i heard they’re THIRTY-FIVE years old, and they’re currently a SECURITY PERSONNEL at CRESCENT MOON GUARD SERVICES. when dusk falls, you can usually find them heading home to THE BRONX by PRIVATE CAR. @duskintros
name: esmé everhart.
age: 35.
date of birth: august 31.
species: werewolf ( born ), member of the lichen pack.
occupation: security personnel for crescent moon guard services.
sexuality: heteromantic heterosexual.
hair color: dark brown.
eye color: blue.
height: 6′3″.
build: athletic, fit.
small bits.
the only child of james and cecelia everhart, esmé had a good relationship with his mother - for what he remembers of her. she died when he was very young, though he recalls being the apple of her eye. cecilia made james a softer man, after her passing he erected walls that even esmé could not climb.
james everhart, known well in black-market circles for being a successful gun trader, trained esmé to be his heir - to inherit the empire he painstakingly built from scratch in his youth. as such, esmé was treated like a protegé more than a son. while never mistreated, it was certainly a strained relationship built on the foundations of respect rather than love.
cecilia, a human, was never aware of her husband’s curse. james bore it, having triggered his sometime in his early life with his line of work. esmé triggered his when he was 18. temper getting the better of him in a chaotic moment of self-defense, he beat a classmate to death when they picked a fight. more memorable than taking a life was his father’s disappointment in his rash behavior ---his inability to control himself.
it was a tense three years between esmé learning the truth of his inheritance: what it meant when his father took business on full moon nights, the dark side of the world ... and the loss of the only source if information he had. at 21 years of age esmé lost his father to the hazards of work and was left alone in the world ... not the worst of developments.
he continued his father’s work for a while: running guns in new york city’s black market, racking up more income than he needed ( as a back up, really ) before he dropped from the scene entirely. one day his business was no longer open and available - he had moved on. it coincided with his induction into the lichen pack ---the first real pack he’d come across in new york.
presently esmé works as security personnel for the crescent moon guard services. while he doesn’t really care for the business and circumstances of other supernaturals, he understands there’s money to be made in this niche setting and it’s better than resting back idly on the mass wealth he inherited both from his father’s passing and from the short stint in the same business thereafter.
his loyalties lie entirely with the lin family. aware of other packs in the city, he has little to no interest in their status or members.
possible connections.
clients: mostly catering to the residents of staten island, esmé will also occasionally take private contracts with humans or other species when needed. however he will staunchly never work with hunters. while there’s no personal beef, he finds it redundant to work with the largest threat to the members of his main clientele: the residents of staten island. unlimited.
best friend: he’s not an easy fellow to get along with, but this is someone he can kick back and have a beer with. perhaps opposites attract, perhaps they’re two birds of a feather. either way, this person is esmé’s ride or die. 1/1 nadija vega.
old flame: he fell in love, once. it wasn’t the most spectacular of things, and their parting of ways came with just a bit of bitterness. he doesn’t carry romantic feelings for her anymore, but there is still a sort of fondness there that can only be explained by a connection like theirs. he’d protect them, if need be, but their romance died with the end of their relationship. open to any species but human. 0/1.
slow-burn: perhaps they’re currently enemies. perhaps they work together. whatever the case may be, they see each other rather frequently and it’s a nuisance to esmé, who is all too familiar with the feelings stirring that he’s trying quite hard to stifle. he’s reluctant to allow himself something positive as he believes his life is too chaotic and ---well, he’s not quite one for soft things. -/-.
one-night stands/flings: you know the drill. a momentary fancy, passed once the sun came up. maybe they’ve done that song and dance a couple of times, but it’s in the past. it’s new york city, who doesn’t have a few notches in their bedpost? 1/3 lavani nattar ( mother of his child ).
old business partners/acquaintances: he has a lot of connections to the seedy underbelly of the city. whether your muse and esmé worked together, they simply knew of esmé’s stint in the black market, or favors are still owed one way or the other it up to discussion. but there’s familiarity there, and it can possibly work in the favor of one or the other. james’ name was very well known before he passed, and esmé made waves in his time running guns. 0/5.
