Congratulations, Melinda! You’ve been accepted for the role of Nico Washington and your faceclaim change for Brandon Mychal Smith was accepted. Please make sure to check our checklist, and you have twenty-four hours to send us your character’s blog. We’re really happy to have you in our family!

Your portrayal of Nico really gave us the feels! We were taken on a journey of the deeper inner workings of Nico and his reasons for leaving the coven and joining Adrasteia. What’s really great is that you also gave us a glimpse of how Nico is now and how this new family has helped him so much more than his own coven has. We are so excited to see how he will play out as well as your plans for him!

Introduction

Melinda (mel if u nasty), 22, CST, they/them.

Activity level:

7 – 9. I’m a recent college graduate so I’m in the process of looking for work right now so at the moment, I can be on most of the time. If I do find a job, I’ll most likely be working graveyard shifts so my activity might falter a little during the day because of sleep.

How did you find the roleplay?

I decided to dip my toe back into the supernatural rp tag because I missed being part of one. I also think a current member reblogged the promo onto my dash.

Roleplay experience:

I’ve been on the tumblr rp scene since like 2011? The fantasy genre was always my place of comfort, but things sort of died down for a while so I decided to try out mob and crime rps—which weren’t exactly my thing, but hey why not branch out? I delete/edit blogs frequently, but I have a few still up. Hunter. Mutant. Demigod.

IC INFORMATION

Desired character:

Nico Washington

Faceclaim:

I said my favorite movie was Moonlight and now I’m asking to change Nico’s fc, smh, I’m such a fake fan. I’d like to make a change to Brandan Mychal Smith (who I didn’t not realize was 1). So fine 2). 27)

Why did you choose this character?

I’m incredibly interested in how Nico was so lively up until his mom died and everything just sort of changed – not exactly for the worse, but he wasn’t himself. Going from one coven to another because he realized that war was a more logical than peace is such an interesting concept. You abandon the family that you’ve known your entire life for one that your mother had when was growing up. He’s such an enigma and having the whole brooding thing going on seems like so much fun.

Para sample:

It all happened with a bang – or at least, that is always how he remembers it. When his mother died, it was like someone took a gun and pointed directly into his heart and pulled the trigger. He didn’t know what to do after her death – the coven was nice enough to give him space, to give him the time that he needed to heal. The problem was that nothing seemed to work, no amount of time or some other sentimental bullshit helped him process her death. Every time he closed his eyes, he could see her passing away repeatedly. No matter how many times he tried to intervene or help make things better, she still withered away in the end. Nico found that the only solution he had to stop the images from popping up in his brain was to leave sleeping behind. It did the trick, but any relationships he might have built suffered as a result. There was no time spent outside of his families’ home and the people he once called friends just seemed to fade away into noise in the background. His entire life has shifted to just slightly to the left and he had no way to deal with or process anything that was going on around him.

Things started to change when he found his mother’s book of shadows and began diving more into the history of the Washington family. There were some words of comfort in the book, but more than that, there was a feeling of confusion and disgust. All the things that his mother went through to keep him ignorant of war and what had it gotten her? A death and a coven that didn’t know how to talk to her son. Nico started to wander outside of his family home after that, doing more research into what exactly the coven intended to accomplish. How did one accomplish peace? Now that his mother was gone, violence seemed to find him, and the attack did nothing to build back confidence in the Coven that he’d known his entire life. It was then that the choice was made – when the world seemed to be crumbling around him, when everything seemed dark. Nico decided to follow the same light that had guided his mother. He found himself with the Adrasteia Coven and he hadn’t felt so at home since the passing of his mom.

Now times were changing and he was starting to come out of the shadows, starting to live life again despite the tragedy that had rocked his world. Nico stood in a world of fire and could himself glowing – the flames of tragedy could not touch him anymore. Despite making changes to return to who he was, there are still somethings he cannot shake. He betrayed his coven and must deal with the consequences of his choices. Old friends look at him differently now and he understands why, if he was in their position, he might give himself strange looks. No matter what happens now with the other covens or the war, he will be prepared. If you looked closely at the Washington home late at night, you’d see nothing but darkness and a faint source of light that seemed to glow brighter before vanishing. How many years had it been since he last summoned fire in his hands – how many years since he felt the calming flames brush against his skin. Nico Washington is a different man now, but he can still remember who he was, can still remember the joy that the flames brought him early on his youth. He isn’t that child anymore, but he can still use the flames and enjoy them. He’ll be okay, one day.

EXTRA

Personality traits:

Positive: Attentive, patient, calm. These traits describe the man he is now and the things he had to learn after his mother died. He pays attention to everything, making sure to take care not to overlook anything that could come back to bite him in the ass later. “A good man sees every angle and makes the best choice before acting.” His mother would often give him lessons in manhood and he remembers them now, remembers the words he wished he’d followed as a kid.

Negative: Cold, distant, grumpy. These traits describe the boy he was and sometimes the man he is. Nico has a bad tendency of shutting people out and he doesn’t really enjoy asking for help much unless the situation is dire. He’s also just generally grumpy because what is the point of being in a good mood when you’re surrounded by war?

Headcanons:

He likes to hang out in the dark a lot. It’s a harsh change from the kid who used to love hanging in the sun, but hey, death can do that to you. You can find him hanging out in the shade most of the time.

He has a great sense of humor – it’s most self-deprecating, but it’s still hilarious if you look at from the right angle.

You want someone to tell you how bleak life is in the warmest voice? Nico is ya man.

Despite his general out view on the world, he can become an optimist under the right conditions. It’s mostly his mother, but everyone should take what they can get.

Nico has a unique range for his offensive magic and it’s a full circle around his body that you can sort of see if you squint hard enough. Things inside of the circle can be affect by his powers, but he can’t do much if something gets outside.

*The Extra section is also where you can share anything else you’d like about the character you chose. Graphics, moodboars, playlist, etc. You are also free to send an inspo/mock blog if you’ve created one.
