Closed starter for @dievout

At first it started out as a little joke. Putting a harness and a leash on one of their cats and taking the fur baby on a scenic walk around the marrow was supposed to be an act of protest towards his husband who had vetoed his suggestion of adopting a dog. But to think that it became a habit for their cat that he started to demand walks everyday for the past few months prior to his untimely death. Now that he had returned to the land of living (not that he realized it) it seemed that habit made a comeback just like he did.

Cheese Puffington, his orange son, the first of his name, strutted bravely into the world outside of their humble abode. Simeon would usually let him roam around and follow behind the orange creature as long as he didn't go too far from home but for some reason he couldn't understand, Cheese would yowl in protest whenever Simeon tried to pick him up and carry him home to end their little walk.

"Alright, alright. Carry on then, Mr. Puffington, my good sir." Simeon shrugged and let the cat lead him further in their adventure. They had walked quite far from the house and to Simeon's astonishment, he found himself on the path that would lead to the Cedar Ridge Cemetery. What a curious adventure you've led us to, Mr. Puffington.

Cheese was busy sniffing around the plants and rocks near them when Simeon saw someone else walking through the same path. And Marrow, being the tiny town it was, made it hard not to recognize who was who with its modest population.

"Hey there, Elijah. What a coincidence to see you here!" Simeon cheerfully greeted the younger man, his right hand raised to give him a little wave.

(    regé-jean page, cis man,  he/him    )    𓉸    marrow's  own  SIMEON YOON-ABRAMS,  age  40,  passed  away  on  JANUARY 24TH.  loved  ones  report  that  they  were  extremely  FORBEARING  and  express  discontent  with  rumors  that  describe  them  as  ERRATIC.  according  to  town  gossip,  their  death  was  due  to  breaking his neck after a bad fall when he tried to fix his greenhouse’s roof  —  which  is  strange,  because  i  could  have  sworn  that  i  saw  them  at  THE MARROW HUNTING LODGE  last  night.

Bio

A retired construction contractor. Now a stay at home spouse after he sold his construction company due to his disease's progression. A self-proclaimed farmer and an occasional hunter

Was born in Birmingham before his family moved to Seattle when he was 12.

The Abrams family had 4 children and Simeon was the 2nd eldest.

Started a small construction company with his friend after they finished trade school. Over the years the company grew into a decently sized one though he sold his share to his friend before moving to Marrow with his husband due to various circumstances.

Met his husband in the ER after an on-site accident, it was love at first sight for him.

Was diagnosed with a genetic disease that affects his eyesight around 2 years ago. The doctors told him as it progresses he will eventually lose his sight.

He took the diagnosis pretty hard though he tried to not let it show. Then the malpractice incident happened which jeopardized his husband's career. Simeon then suggested that the two of them move to Ian's hometown for a new start. 

He sold his share of the company to fund their new life and they took almost a month-long cross country road trip to Marrow, hoping to cheer Ian up a little.

Had been staying in the town for a few months before his death.

Headcanons

Handy with his hands. Can often be found carving small animal figures out of wood whenever he’s free. Mostly carving cat figures.

Made decorative wedding ducks out of wood as one of the marriage gifts for his spouse. The ducks usually face each other but whenever he’s sulking he’ll turn his duck to face the other way

Installed solar panels to power their house and built their greenhouse by himself 

He has an easy going personality so he'd often offer to help his neighbors whenever they need TLCs around their houses. Kind of like an unofficial handyman of Marrow 

Was planning to raise some chickens when spring comes but well, he died lol

They at first had one stray cat that suddenly came to their house and wouldn't leave so he asked to keep the cat. Turned out it was pregnant and they ended up keeping all 3 kittens along with the mom cat

Lowkey a budding alcoholic which sparked an argument with his husband on the day of his death

Pre-established

Someone he befriends when he moved to the marrow. One of the neighbors he's closest with. Be prepared for him randomly showing up on your door step with some food because he's terrible at portioning things and always ends up making more than two people can handle

Drinking buddies? Don't tell his husband that he's drinking though

An old friend? Maybe your muse and him hit it off during college and meet each other again. Should be around at most 1-4 years younger/older than him but preferably the same age

One of his siblings?? You heard the news of your brother's passing and either for some reason stayed around the town even after his funeral ceremony was over or came back to marrow when you heard he returned back to life. You swore you've helped carried his casket and buried him but there he was, smiling at you just the same like the two of you were children again

tba.

Quick ideas

Your character bought a furniture online and had a hard time assembling it when it arrived and asked him for help

"Hello, thank you very much for being kind to our cat but he's on a diet right now so please don't feed him too or I'll get scolded by his vet again…"

A cooking lesson? Can either be my muse or your muse who's teaching a new recipe. Or they could experiment on a dish together!

You found Simeon cleaning and tidying up around the abandoned hunting lodge. Him not being bothered or creeped out by the eerie atmosphere around the lodge is honestly kinda weird

tba.
