madchen amick, cisfemale, she/her, original vampire, law professor. | i think i spotted theodora out in the town square. isn’t that the 1,106 / 50 year old who’s been around vernon ten years ? from what i see they seem to be fairly pious and vigilant but they can also be very subdued and tormented. when i see them i think of half finished bottles of wine, dog-eared textbooks and smudged mascara.

in their village, theodora was the youngest of three sisters and one elder brother --- while not often overlooked, she was prone to being lost in a sea of well to do siblings.

this didn’t bother theo so much --- she wasn’t one who sought out attention, she wasn’t someone who wanted to be noticed or looked at. she liked obscurity. often considered an odd trait in her times, but that’s just what theo was, growing up --- somewhat odd around the edges.

life for the most part, was fine for theo as a child. while her family didn’t go hungry, life was tight. money and food was tight. their home was small. but unlike her sisters, theo never complained. she did her best to make life easier for her siblings and parents, wherever and whenever she could.

at sixteen, theo met aleksander. she was intrigued by the man --- thinking he was handsome in a way many other men weren’t, but like all things: theo didn’t pursue him. she was convinced, for a very long time, that he had the wrong sister. that he was looking for her elder sister, who was infinitely more beautiful, in theo’s mind.

she didn’t truly understand that they were courting till alek asked her to marry him --- she was stupid in love with him by that point of course, but she’d resigned to suffer in silence.

married life eased the burden on her family, and also allowed theo to somewhat break out of her shell. she was less odd, more self-assured. she trusted her instincts more, was truly strengthed by the bond and life she’d built with alek.

having three kids in three successive years however, nearly killed theo. not only were the pregnancies rough and the births tough; but being in constant pain and bed ridden following them was the hardest part.

( this is what lead to the vast age gap between her children. she told her husband while she loved him, and certainly wanted more children --- she needed time to heal. )

eventually, the two of them ended up having six kids together. theo literally and quite physically adores all of her children, no matter what --- and is incredibly supportive in her efforts as a mother.

however, there are dark moments where theo thinks she failed, such as the death of their youngest.

loosing freya is something that theo’s never recovered from. ever. for two weeks following her death at the hands of a werewolf, theo didn’t eat, sleep or drink anything. she stayed in bed, staring at the wall, crying when she could summon the energy. she was catatonic with grief.

she blamed herself in many ways, for not being present enough, for not doing more in trying to protect her child. ( these feelings only worsened when she saw how she had neglected her other children during her time of mourning. )

when alek approached her with the idea to turn into something stronger than werewolves --- theo had serious reservations. she wasn’t sure. she liked the idea of being able to protect her family, but she also longed to fade into obscurity once more. she wanted to hide herself away, after loosing freya.

eventually, it was the fear of loosing her children again like she had lost freya, that convinced theo to come around. she agreed --- and life hasn’t been the same since.

while alek was consumed by his darker instincts, theo embraced the light. she refuses to go a day without paying her respects to her youngest child, remembering her, ensuring she isn’t forgotten. 

she became a law professor to ensure justice --- another aspect born out of her need to atone for her sins as freya’s mother.

since becoming a vampire and freya’s death, theo’s been more controlling than she was as a human. she’s deathly afraid of loosing her kids --- something that is only second to loosing alek. she’s quite the mama bear in her day to day world: and a part of her longs to once more be the family they were as humans

currently, theo’s been in vernon for the past ten years, and having her children back with her in one place. she’s looking forward to reconnecting where she can, but is also worried that so many supernatural have converged in one place

all in all --- theo has good days, and theo has bad days. she’s still wracked with grief and guilt for what happened to freya, for neglecting her children when mourning. she worries about what eternity will do to her family --- and already sees some elements of it in her children.

waddup i’m kate and tumblr keeps not following people on me. this is super freaking late bc i’mm a mess but i’m gonna finally get things done today !!

phoebe tonkin, cisfemale, she/her, original werewolf, artist. | i think i spotted lorna deschamps out in the town square. isn’t that the 1000+ / thirty year old who’s been around vernon two years ? from what i see they seem to be fairly vivacious and audacious but they can also be very haughty and boisterous. when i see them i think of lingerie worn as clothing, the scent of a recently blown out candles and paint stains on every possible surface. ( kate, 23, est, she/her )

lorna is an original werewolf which makes her...pretty old but she doesn’t act like it. she’d basically be the polar opposite of elijah mikaelson.

she’s never really stayed in one part of the world and has picked up many languages over the years.

lorna is bi and has had many lovers, exes and been divorced more than once over the years so if you’re looking for an old lover whom your character split with bc she was too childish lorna is a++ for that role.

she’s an artist and has worked with various mediums. she generally focuses on what’s in but she hates digital art as she can’t work a computer for the life of her.

right now she’s been focused on painting and she runs a little gallery in town where she features her own art and other local artists. 

lorna has had about 2 children over the course of her lifetime but i haven’t decided if i want to put up connections for those, all you need to know is that lorna is the worst mom and tends to disappear a lot. sometimes she just, doesn’t come back.

responsibilities ?? are not her strong suit. she’s never payed taxes in her life.

if you think she won’t brag to other werewolves about being older...ur wrong. other originals pls feel free to call her childish and tell her to grow up she’s over 1000 years old.

owns 3 tiny dogs who come and go as they please. no she doesn’t care if they were in our rose garden.

this isn’t pertinent information but she never wears a bra she’s tits out for aphrodite yall.

i’m writing this half asleep at nearly 11am and i am concerned for both me and lorna.

personally wise she’s known for being bright & bubbly. she’s always willing to take bold risks and make decisions even if they might turn out badly. she’s selfish and doesn’t take matters as seriously as she should.

i just wanted to get this up before i reply to plotting messages so if you haven’t, feel free to message me to plot !!

katie mcgrath, cisfemale, she/her, witch, storekeeper. | i think i spotted frances quinn out in the town square. isn’t that the thirty three year old who’s been around vernon her entire life? from what i see they seem to be fairly accommodating and loyal but they can also be very impatient and skeptical. when i see them i think of potions, deep forests and earthy smell of old books. 

erright erright. lol that was lame. anyways, hello! i’m han (22, gmt, she/her) and this is my trash, frances. i haven’t seen a lot of supernatural shows, but i’m very confident to aNNOUNCE that i have seen three seasons of The Originals before i stopped when they announced the very early end of it. we were robbed. shame. it was better than tvd. pls don’t kill me. okay, on to this trash.

she’s born and raised in vernon, but her fam actually originated from some place in ireland. they didn’t necessarily stay there forever. her ancestors were a bunch of tourists... who’d stay in one place for a couple of years or so, leave descendants everywhere.... yeah, that kind of fam. just spreading the love everywhere. 

i’m not gonna go into full details regarding the witchy stuff of her fam, but basically, she belongs to a family of powerful witches, a little, very personal coven of their own. nameless, though, just to be a little safer.

aaaaaaaanyways, at one point, francesca, one of the witches that basically keeps the balance of their coven’s power, committed suicide, hence causing an imbalance and basically causing havoc in their little coven because wtf, francesca, why. over a vamp, really? it’s not as easy as recruiting a new witch, too, bc who would have the same mastery/strength as an Elder witch (aka francesca) so wtf @ francesca.

erright, so the general idea is, they got her body, but they need her power to restore the balance, so they didn’t put her body to rest just yet. they cast some freaky spell that allows her body to remain as it did from the moment she died, which then also allows her power to be stuck in there somewhere. 

so, over the years, they tried and tried to incorporate her powers into every descendant born in her family. it was not an easy task, obviously, as it took them centuries before finally succeeding to incorporate the power in lil babe frances. it was only then that they finally put francesca’s body to rest and buried her in a cemetery just outside of vernon.

for fear of history being repeated, the elders in her coven cast a cloaking spell on frances, not only on her existence/whereabouts but also the power inside her. it doesn’t necessarily erase it. it’s there. it’s present. it keeps the balance, as it should, but cloaking it resulted in frances reaching the age of thirty-three without her power manifesting ever. their coven doesn’t really have enemies who could hunt them down, but they’re witches. people will always have ulterior motives once they find out they’re witches, so they basically hid frances among the supernatural beings (logic, amiright) to lessen the chances of her dying because of reasons other than old age.

so she’s an oblivious bean. she currently works as a storekeeper for her aunt’s hex shop. it’s nothing as big as du pon’s, obviously, but they basically sell the same things, and frances thinks it’s just a gig lol. like, she’s watching over a store where people could go buy potions and spell books during halloween. well, she’s wrong af. 

oblivious bean actually wants to be a reader for a publishing company. whatever that job is called (ref to about time, 2013; kudos to those who know that movie). simply because she loves books and reads a bunch of them. she tried reading some grimoires in the shop, but didn’t last long and placed it back in the shelf bc pft witches don’t exist. 

sure, jan.

anyway, she can’t because her fam insists that she should stay in vernon and just watch over their little shop and they’re rich bc of old money and she doesn’t have to work and all that. 

we all know why, tho. 

okay soooooooo. there’s that. i know. too long. whatevs. I HAVEN’T GOT A LIST OF CONNECTIONS I WANT, BUT JUST KNOW THAT SHE’S HELLA GAY AND WOULD LOVE SOME EX GFS. lol. or a best friend. or a gal pal. she’s not that picky. 

but jokes aside, if someone’s willing to take up the role of her aunt, hmu. we can discuss more about their connection. her aunt will back to vernon once frances’ powers manifest bc her aunt will feel it lbr. all the way from australia, let’s just say. she loves going aroun the world.

OOC // Hi babes!! I’m Rach and I’m so excited to introduce to you my darling Tessa. But pls hit me up for plotting anytime!! I promise I don’t bite, even if Tessa might lol.

summer bishil, cisfemale, she/her, vampire, lawyer. | i think i spotted contessa valentine out in the town square. isn’t that the 297 / 28 year old who’s been around vernon six years ? from what i see they seem to be fairly intelligent and vivacious but they can also be very headstrong and brash. when i see them i think of the six inch heels, long-stemmed roses and expensive perfume. ( rach, 19, pst, she/her ) 

Contessa was born in 1722 at sea under the name Asha Valentine. Both her parents were avid travelers, explorers, and merchants, set on sailing the world in the hopes of one day striking it rich.

Asha practically grew up on a boat, as her parents circumnavigated the globe until they eventually settled down in Italy where her family became renowned sellers of exotic goods and other oddities they had picked up throughout their journey. The Nair family eventually established themselves wealthy business people and became the count and countess of the island of Budelli as their daughter adopted the moniker of ‘Contessa’.

It was on the island where Tessa was bit after a particularly hungry, wandering vampire decided to take interest in the young, merchant girl. With the taste of blood and adventure still on her lips, Contessa left her family to travel with the vampire who turned her around the world.

Eventually after years of travelling, Contessa would return to her home only to see her parents look at with mighty fear as they noted their daughter hadn’t aged a day since she left. Quickly figuring out what she was, they made the fateful decision to kill the vampire who had turned their daughter into the monster she was. In a brutal scuffle against the island, Tessa barely made it out alive as her parents turned not only against her creator but her, as well.

Fearfully, Tessa continued her travels, never staying in one place for too long, lest her secret come out. 

Eventually, Tessa found herself drawn to Vernon, a place where she felt as though she could settle down. And though there’s others like her, and she’s taken up a job, integrated herself into society, there’s always the ghosts of her past reminding that the clock’s ticking until she’ll have to run again.

bill skarsgard, cis-male, he/him, human, bartender. | i think i spotted spencer hamilton out in the town square. isn’t that the twenty-three year old who’s been around vernon two years ? from what i see they seem to be fairly intoxicating and vivacious but they can also be very reckless and impulsive. when i see them i think of seemingly permanent intoxicated state, bruised knuckles and a cigarette that hangs loosely from chapped lips.

hi guys! im madison and i’d like for you to meet my child, aka the saddest boy in all of the land. please be nice to him! like this if you’d like to plot and i’ll message you.

So he’s a Preacher’s Kid. Or was a Preacher’s Kid who grew up in a small town in Kansas. When he was 13 his father caught Spencer kissing another boy and all hell broke loose.

His parents insisted that Spencer’s “gayness” needed to be reversed. So he started seeing a counselor who brainwashed him into believing that being gay was a choice and a sin of nature.

For a few years he was miserable. He tried to be with girls but hated himself for not feeling the way they felt about him. He beat himself up internally and externally, using his anger to crack his knuckles against mirrors and walls etc.

He was 16 when he met Xavier, a 21 one year old college student taking a break from college who Spencer fell hard for. He coaxed Spencer out of this front he held up and allowed his walls to break free for this man. The two fell in love. It didn’t take long before his father found out about this affair and he immediately kicked Spencer out of the house.

Spencer and Xavier used what little money they had to travel to Vernon and to get an apartment together. For awhile, everything was fine and Spencer was happy being free and living his life. Until Xavier realized he was HIV+ He passed away 4 years later and Spencer stood by his side for every second of it. Spencer promised Xavier he’d give life another chance.

It’s a been a year since Xavier’s passing and Spencer is just trying to not spiral. He doesn’t allow himself to become too close to anyone, he works as a barista and believes it’s somehow his fault that Xavier passed, even though Spencer is HIV negative. He believes he’s a burden and is afraid to love anyone in any capacity. He’ll lose himself in drugs, alcohol and meaningless sex but the poor soul feels himself wilting away.

He’s a sweet, passionate, loving and caring boy who has endured a lot. Once you break down his walls, he’ll be one of the best people you can know because when he’s carefree and letting loose, it’s a contagious sight.

Is a total fuck boy at this point. LOVES sex and will flirt with you even if you’re straight.

Basically always drunk at this point, it’s the only way he can not feel and thus the only way he can get through life.

Some wanted plots:

HIS ROOMMATE, listen i imagine this person to be his best friend and honestly who looks out for him because he’s such a fucking mess? spencer would legit do anything for this person. they are his family. If this doesn’t get taken up I’ll probs put in a WC.

HOOK UPS. pls all of the hot hook ups.

FWB

ENEMIES…that hook up. Maybe they can’t stand each other but have hot sex?

Friends?

Maybe people who were related to Spencer’s ex? Or even friends with him?

Party buddies

Family friends? Someone who knew him from Kansas?

Protective friends

Adventurous friends

HIS CLIENTS pls. this could be so so so fun. (he’s an escort on the side, it’s a new gig as of now.)

SOMEONE who knew Xavier really well!

jenna coleman, cisfemale, she/her, witch, bookshop owner. | i think i spotted adelaide beaumont out in the town square. isn’t that the thirty year old who’s been around vernon all her life ? from what i see they seem to be fairly valiant and reliable but they can also be very acerbic and resentful. when i see them i think of lace stockings, self-stirring cups of tea and vintage books.

born and raised in vernon, adelaide was the youngest daughter in a family of well to do witches. while she wasn’t a rebellious as her older sister --- adelaide never quite warmed to the idea of being the helping hand her parents atolled for.

often, her childhood was spent following after arabella, watching in amusement and delight as her sister defied the grain and did what she wanted. very easily and very quickly, addie came to adore her older sister, and consider her more of a mother than their own.

there wasn’t anything addie wouldn’t have done for bella --- whether it was burying a dead body, murdering a man, breaking her out of prison, or making sure she had food in her fridge.

bella was the one who taught addie everything she knew about magic. half her skill came from watching her sister, learning from her sister, and wanting to be just like her sister. ( addie often says she wouldn’t be half the person she is if it wasn’t for bella )

which is why it plainly, and easily, broke her heart to see her sister lost to dark magic. she felt quite powerless, unable to help her sister, unable to do anything really --- to the point where addie just... tried to do her best, tried to support her sister where she could

each time bella rolled back into town like a hurricane, addie would try and help her get clean --- to get back to the sister she knew and loved, often to no avail

but try as she might, addie couldn’t disconnect from her sister. she just couldn’t. it was addie and bella against the world, no matter what. and it always would be

as she grew older, she developed a deep fascination for books, history and all things similar. she eventually opened up a book shop here in town --- called black cat books. its your one stop shop for a good novel, some tarot readings, or even a spot of magic if you’ve got the money to burn

seven years prior, addie fell in love for the first time. it was the deep, all consuming fairy-tale type of love. despite what was happening with her sister, addie was convinced maybe, now, she’d be able to make a family of her own.

two years passed when the pair decided to get married --- and addie finally felt as if her life was making sense: only for tragedy to completely and utterly strike

learning her sister had slept with her fiancee was something that ruined addie. the sweet, hopeful girl she was? destroyed. gone. completely blown to smitheerns. her ability to trust was practically non-existant.

confronting her sister for what she’d done was apocalyptic --- she told her sister that she was dead to her, that she wanted nothing to do with her, and that it was best she leave town now, before she made arabella do so

confronting her fiancee was ruining. she threw the engagment ring at their head, their clothes into the street and said the same thing to them --- it was best they leave town before, before she made them do so

staying in vernon after that, was too hard. addie packed some clothes, hired help for the shop, and took off to paris for a year.

in paris, while some of her heart healed, it was still fractured. she wasn’t as riddled with pain while there, learning the language, working in an old magic shop. she meaningless affairs, breaking hearts left right and centre, because she was unable to open herself up like she had as a young woman

eventually, addie returned home and took over black cat books once more. she’s been back for the past four years, but considers her year away more of... an extended vacation, rather than a serious attempt to leave

she’s incredibly bitter. rough. rude and coarse. her words are always laced with acid and she usually doesn’t get along with anyone or anything. she’s still paying for the mistakes of her sister and ex-fiancee, and is likely, to never get over it

that being said, she’s incredibly steady when the time calls for it. she’s almost the direct opposite to her sister --- whereas bella is quite chaotic, addie is steadfast. she doesn’t blink, even when perhaps, she should

she’s loyal, sometimes to a fucking fault --- hence why she stood by her sister even in her darkest days of magic use.

all in all, addie’s just trying to get back. she’s got bills to pay and a life to lead. everything else is just noise she doesn’t need.
