fill in the below categories with three to five things that your character can be identified by.

aesthetics: night times at the garage / workshop / magic store / lab dimly lit by weak lights and candles, desk chaotically covered in papers and books, white boards and chalk boards completely covered in complicated equations and formulas, the dead calm of the forest ( at any time of the day / night ), the open and endless skies and also thermals ( i had to ).

colors: the bright blue of a summer sky, the dark blue of denim jeans with splotches of black oil and grease, shades of dark greens for the foliage he lives in, tan-brown for the trees he calls home. Outside of black, all his colours are super muted and while he's not aware of it, it's a super subtle thing he does to blend into the world around him from the trauma of having all eyes on him as a child.

clothing: His uncle's Air-Force jacket that was too big for him as a teenager so it fits him comfortably now ( and same uncle's dog-tags hang loosely around neck ), a well worn pair of steel-capped boats for safety, a Green Day band tee and a red or green plaid pat shirt to go over it.

objects: He's not him without his cigarettes and lighter, an a5 notebook that's thick as fuck, those pages full as is but with heaps of paperclips and other stuff to pin stuff to pages and the like, a flask of vodka ( which he desperately tries to keep out of vision of tiny child hands ) and his literally from the 90s Nokia mobile bc he can't use any tech with touch screens while the sun is up.

body language: If looks could kill with the insane 'glare' he naturally gives... but in the same breath needs to squint when reading things as a human because of the 'crappy' human eye sight. He's avoids crowds and waits for people to interact with him instead of being the one to engage in conversations, he likes to simply watch in the background and if he's comfortable enough in human form, he will perch and continue to observe, paying no mind as to how strange it may look to those who don't know him. No matter the form he takes, he is always very birdlike in mannerisms... this going as far as he is absolutely capable of biting if touched without consent, again, bird or man.

vices / bad habits: Smoking, drinking, had a history of self-harm as a teenager both before and after Addie's death, said death making it worse when he had those really bad days and he was desperate to actually feel something, swearing like an absolute sailor and because he's the smartest person in the room 99.99% of the time, he will correct people when they're super wrong about things he's well informed about.

traits: He cares a lot, too much even, but he sees that as a vulnerability that can be exploited and while its true to an extent, it leans into his deep-seated, trauma twisted paranoia. When he opens himself up to people, he can be incredibly selfless, but to parallel that, he can come off as selfish as hell for being a survivalist and getting himself out of danger, for example.

scents: Tobacco smoke, smoke in general from candles and incense, petrol, nature, wood from carpentry, hands probably even smelling like metal from dealing with nails and screws and all his various tools of his trades.

songs: you can't take me - bryan adams, breakdown - seether, rescue me - kerrie roberts, keep running - unrated, scars - papa roach, fly away - poe, shatter me - lindsey stirling feat. lzzy hale, set me free - counting crowns. glycerine - rush, how you remind me - nickelback, one last breath - creed

Deacon likes to think he has a pretty good sense of humour, but it can also be really dark when its not expected and a lot of the time it can really sound super out of line when it comes to people who don't know him personally. On occasion, it can get him in trouble but if people are genuinely offended ( within reason ), he will apologise.

               "Who's to say that there aren't points where the planes of existence don't converge? Who's to say that there aren't places where the dead can be perceived without the aid of incense smoke and other magical objects?" Maybe another person, Jewel specifically, would have had more sympathy for the literally dead teenager, but when Sebastian got worked up about his hypotheses, getting through to him was like trying to get blood from a stone. "Listen, do you know where you are? What can you tell me about the spirit plane?"

"oh my god. you're still going to argue this with me?" he's got half the mind to get the other's to come out from hiding. how do you think he'd feel if about twenty other ghost teenagers and kids came out of the woodwork? ( plus, mapplethorpe loved being right. ) he'll cross his arms, raising his eyebrow in question. ( does he have any idea of what this could mean? ) well, it means that he's dead. "it means that i'm dead and ghosts are real. i don't know what else you want me to say," no, he doesn't grasp on it, sorry! "'cause i'm stuck. we're all stuck,"

the way this literally has me peeing holy shit, @resisteence

Josh doesn't automatically respect authority figures. Like when he was a kid in the hunting circle, he obeyed without question, but he was also expecting to get protection out of it, so that's something he's held as he's grown. The short of it is that authority figures need to prove to him that they're worthy of his respect and can hold onto the claim they have. If this authority figure is to fail in that regard, respect is lost and Josh really doesn't like to give out second chances.

               Her brother had been a vampire for the past thirty years and she should have been used to it, but he even still managed to get the jump on her if she was distracted enough.

The cigarette was brought back to lips, Jewel having a small giggle over being just able to see the lipstick-stained filter with the help of that beautiful, natural light.

"There's a storm coming." How literal this was, she wasn't entirely sure. But with how her gifts tended to work, Jewel was very much expecting to have a dream to decipher when the sun rose the next morning. "Any locals you have problems with?" Question was asked far too casually for the threat potentially looming. "Or anyone else likely to roll into town for the sake of making a scene? Anything or anyone I should be looking out for if I do my own investigating?"

Esme jumped too, unaware just how quietly she had approached the woman until she startled, and in turn, surprised Esme too. She had always been quiet, even as a human. It was easy to forget just how silent she could be in her newfound immortality. "Sorry... I, uh... I forget how quiet I am sometimes."

Her concentration shifted to follow the witch's gaze, large brown eyes concentrating on the milky orb that was the moon. She is so used to it's cycle, Esme couldn't say she particularly noticed anything amiss. Despite being supernatural herself, Esme found herself finding certain things as more than simply superstition.

Shaking her head at the woman's offer, Esme instead comes to sit next to the new guest, her gaze wandering back to the moon. "How do you know?" she asked, both curious and regretting the question as soon as it fell between them. "Bad in what way?"

He knows the social standings and dynamics of how wolf packs work, so that's what he applies to all social and family groups that he may have to interact with in his day and nightly life. He's not going to get too pressed when / if he learns that a group's dynamic is different to his, its just what's familiar to him and how he sees the world.

@flamefallen said: you came out of nowhere. ( derek says to put b on the battlefield ! )

          prompts for after the battle

               Breaths came out laboured, woman clearly both exhausted and frightened. "I thought you were here in Sicily to avoid this sort of crap!" Anger radiated from words, something sounded so strange to those who knew her well. "What the hell is going on?" While she missed her babies like nothing else in the world, she would thank the Mother and her moon several times over for them not being with her in this moment.

Heart raced at a deafening level as she stared down Derek, looking almost ready as if she were to lunge at him herself out of pure and raw panic. "What's happening?"

Jamie has a lot of issues with saying his 'I love you's. It comes from being the trophy child to Aisha, nothing more and nothing less and it is super sad that he was painfully aware of this, even as a teenager and before the divorce. Once he gets comfortable enough with friends and the like, he will have no problem in saying it and even says it a little excessively and that will come from his own experiences in not hearing it enough from one of the people who was supposed to love him the most.
