Arthur was not a particular fan of clubs himself, considering what a hive of social activity they were. But there were times when he simply couldn’t stand to be alone. The silence of his own home took on a physical weight, and it threatened to crush him. So here he was, sipping on a glass of brandy, when the woman spoke to him. He glanced at her for a moment before turning his gaze to the woman herself. ā€œI prevented him from projecting his unwanted advances onto another bar patron,ā€ he said. ā€œThanks to me, they were able to get away. I suppose he blames me for ruining his amorous intentions for the evening.ā€ He shrugged. ā€œIf he feels the need for a physical altercation, I believe I can handle myself,ā€ he said, and offered a brief smile. ā€œBut I appreciate your concern.ā€

Feet carrying him toward the bar counter of the noisy and crowded Red Diamond, Julian took a seat at one of the empty stools and waited to get the bartender’s attention. After ordering a drink, he let his eyes shift over the different bottles along the back wall before someone spoke to him. Julian glanced over at her in surprise before starting to follow her gaze, trying not to seem too obvious. But upon catching the eye of the dude, he sighed.Ā ā€œAh,ā€ he murmured as if recognition was there. Julian released a soft huff.
ā€œEarlier when I was driving here… that guy had been cutting people off a lot on the road. And he sped up to pull in front of me, and I had to brake fast else I would’ve run into him,ā€ he explained.Ā ā€œI blew my horn, and I guess he didn’t like that. And he just so happened to have come here too. Surprised he didn’t make a scene with me outside.ā€

It was so slow that day in the movie theater, so Danny was biding his time with sketching. From the corner of his eye, he saw someone approach the snack counter and he pulled out his earphones.Ā ā€œOh, hi! Um, what can I do for you?ā€ he asked with a big smile, then bit his lip before gesturing toward a rack.Ā ā€œOh, um, we’re having a sale going on. If you buy a large popcorn and drink combo, you can get one of these shirts or hats.ā€Ā There was a pause that came, Danny managing a more nervous smile this time.Ā ā€œAh, well, for 20% offā€¦ā€
Yes, it was kind of a scam - especially with those normal movie theater prices as it was - and he knew that, but he also knew that his boss would get mad at him if he didn’t talk about the promotions going on.

Jairo was actually born and raised in Ashwick Valley, as the eldest son of Gael Covarrubias, the man who would be mayor of the town for eight years. During this period of Jairo’s life, there was a lot of weight on his shoulders to make the name of the family proud, having two ambitious parents that aspired to better Ashwick and cement themselves among those the likes of the founding families. It was quite the responsibility for a boy only aged thirteen, regarded by his own parents as some sort of heir to a delusional empire. Jairo had to behave, to join their events, to have good grades in school, and to become a politician who would help endorse his father’s climb on the ladder of the world.
But Jairo simply wasn’t that kind of person. In fact, he was no person at all. He discovered his powers as a shapeshifter at the age of fifteen. He lost his temper, so enraged by the fact that his parents forbade him to date the girl of a waitress, a nice girl whose only sin was being of a social class beneath them, and that made him shift into the family’s Doberman. It completely shocked his parents and brother, two years younger than him. But no one was more shocked than his mother, who had just found out that the shapeshifter gene had passed on to this child, a child born out of an affair with a shifter. This spiraled into the destruction of his parents’ relationship, which had to stay perfect to the outsiders. Within the house, however, things were only going from bad to worse: strings of endless arguments, rampant infidelity, revenge, growing addictions. But his parents stayed hypocrites, expecting the world of their eldest son in spite of how dysfunctional they were.
Jairo started rebelling. The more he disobeyed, the more he was punished, which only made the teenager lash out even more. Hatred brewed between the boy and his father and their relationship became a contest of who could one up the other better, a competition of egos. Sick of this behavior, Jairo tipped a newspaper about all the shameful things happening in their household, including the fact that his father often accepted bribes and laundered money. The story was a big scandal in Ashwick and his father lost his job, as well as the family reputation he’d worked so hard to maintain. His wife left him, the world hated him, he lost his money, and the son he loathed was responsible for it all. Gael was ready to end it all, but not without making sure to go out with a bang. He shot himself and had someone set Jairo up for the death, with the Police finding the responsible shotgun in his car, as well as a fake journal where his father had written he feared for his life.
Jairo refused to be jailed for this crime he’d never committed. He shifted into a hawk and disappeared into the night, never to be seen again in Ashwick for many years. He was homeless for a while, not sure where to go. Eventually, he managed to find a job as a dishwasher in Seattle. That was the beginning of the new life he’d build for himself. With a fake name and a fake story, he would eventually go on to become a Special Forces Officer and a lover of amateur kickboxing. He became one of the best Special Forces Officers in the city, all thanks to a little bit of cheating from his powers. All of this was only after many years of moving around, not wanting to get attached to people or places. He had a poor opinion regarding relationships thanks to exposure to his parents’ toxic marriage, and his constant moving eventually stuck and became a habit.
In spite of that, he got married at 28 and even had a daughter, but the marriage ended only one week after the wedding, when Jairo disappeared into the night. Not only did he have commitment issues and actual nightmares about the inevitable staleness of his future, but his existence as a shapeshifter endangered people as he struggled to elude hunters.Ā 
Now, Jairo returns to Ashwick for the first time since that incident that muddied his and his family’s reputation and that is for one main reason: he heard his ex wife and child are in town and with all the grisly deaths and rumors surround it, he fears they’re in in danger. Moreover, one of the victims of the recent murders is a good childhood friend and he returned to pay his respects.
- šš„š‘š’šŽšš€š‹šˆš“š˜.
However, outside of his crippling issues with stability and connections, Jairo is a brave man with a particularly soft spot for kids. This is also why he’s often checked in on his ex wife and daughter, from the shadows, just to make sure that they’d be safe.Ā 
Jairo is a multi-faceted person, which one could attribute to his very nature as a shapeshifter. On one hand, he enjoys relaxing hobbies such as reading and cooking, with quite some skill too. Most people would characterize him as a calm person, with always a wise word to share with people, strangers or not. He seems to be patient and very difficult to tick off. However, on the flip side, he also takes joy in his job, riding on dangerous tides, and also in his hobby as a kickboxer at an underground club in Seattle. More importantly, his qualities are drastically dragged down by one major flaw: his inability to commit.
That’s not to say he’s not capable of committing to basic things like watching a TV show all the way through or even sticking with a job that keeps him hooked enough,Ā  but relationships have been especially difficult for Jairo. Dread of getting trapped in a toxic marriage like his parents, dread of betrayal and how quickly everything can get shattered, as well as spending his early 20s mostly on the road have built up this terrible habit. What’s even worse is the fact that this won’t stop him from trying to pursue all of those things; it’s only once he has something in the palm of his hand that the fear settles in and he feels like running.

Meet Sabrina, one of the five children of Lilian Pliego. Don’t expect any kind of happy family stories, because things were rough from the very beginning. Her mother was an alcoholic with a deep hatred for work and with a passion for clinging to men in hopes one of them would pull her out of poverty. Sabrina had two elder brothers: one went to jail at the age of eighteen, the other died while trying to run away from home. Now the eldest, twelve year old Sabrina had to take care of her younger sister, Maria, who was only six at the time their fourteen year old brother died. This is how a habit and sad reality involving Sabrina as a caretaker and provider came to be. To get money for food and basic needs, she started working as young as thirteen, taking on all kinds of odd jobs curtsy of the kindness of neighborhood people that would give her things to do: helping out at stores, taking care of lawns, and walking dogs, which quickly became her favorite activity.
While life at home wasn’t brilliant, she at least had her sister whom she adored, as well as the guidance of Mr. Monroe, a teacher who had at some point became a father figure she had missed. He taught her all about kindness, patience, forgiveness, but also about right and wrong. Sabrina was too embarrassed to let on about her difficult life and to ask for help, but that would change by itself when, at the age of fifteen, Sabrina learned her mother was carrying another child. She had a complete breakdown over it, understanding why her elder brothers had spiraled. She packed her bags and was about to run away, but she stopped herself, for her sister and that unborn sibling. What about them?
With this, Sabrina gathered her courage and told Mr. Monroe about her situation. He was furious, and vowed to help her and the siblings. For the next two years, Mr. Monroe would fight tooth and claw to help the three children. Finally, when Sabrina was seventeen, he managed to adopt Sabrina, Maria, and their young brother Adrias. Life wasn’t perfect after that either, but Sabrina knew the three of them were loved, and that Mr. Monroe was really trying. She continued her habit of working, saving up college funds – or at least parts of it. She kept working until she was 24, claiming that she’ll go to college when more money is saved. But then, when Maria graduated, Sabrina offered her the money instead, which was the plan all along.
Maria left the small town of Sallisaw and went to college. Just when she had accepted her fate, so to speak, Sabrina found out that her mother had passed away, leaving quite a substantial inheritance. Sabrina was enraged, realizing their mother did have money, money she had instead chosen to spend on her own pleasures. She vowed to never forgive the woman, and decided, although repulsed by it, to use her money to get an education herself. She followed some formation courses in Journalism, never quite having the means for proper college. Getting a job was a nightmare, and it didn’t help Mr. Monroe fell ill and ended up bedridden. In the end, Sabrina managed to get a job as a cleaning lady at the newspaper station in Ashick Valley. She had to move for this, but she was determined to not lose the opportunity. Her, Mr. Monroe, and Adrias, who was eleven at the time, packed and moved to the small town. After a few months as a cleaning lady, during which Sabrina did her own investigations on the side, she managed to impress enough to be granted a position as an online writer. And, finally, a year ago she became a proper journalist for the newspaper.Ā 
Sabrina doesn’t know anything about the supernatural, but it wouldn’t be surprising either. The recent odd events in Ashwick have her raising questions, and she’s definitely planning on finding out what is happening. As to whether the truth is something that the normal masses should know… that is a moral conundrum for another time.
- šš„š‘š’šŽšš€š‹šˆš“š˜.
Sabrina appears to be quite hard on the outside, and it’s true that she is just that. She’s resilient and stands her own ground so strongly she often has difficulty showing weakness and vulnerability. Of course, she is not incapable of it. On the contrary, with the people she loves or simply just likes and deems as worthy of kindness, she is a fiercely loyal ally. However, having grown so used to being the sole pillar of her family, she often feels like she needs to keep being just that, so that others may be able to rely on her.
Speaking of which, Sabrina is highly reliable and trustworthy, strictly following moral codes of honesty. This is why she’s often so straightforward it comes across as rude, having a strong distaste for cheap gossip and backstabbers.Ā 
Sabrina is a fighter for the weak and battered, always standing up on behalf of those who can’t do so or who are afraid to do so. In this regard, one may consider her to be fearless, though that is obviously not true. Her heart knows tragedy and her body knows weariness; she’s simply too stubborn to look her own way and recognize all of this.Ā 
Following Mr. Manera’s teachings, Sabrina is capable of forgiving anyone, with the exception of her mother. However, she’ll only do it eventually, after giving hell to whoever it is that wronged her. She is definitely the type to say things she doesn’t really mean and that she later ends up regretting.
In terms of humor, Sabrina is very sarcastic and favors lots of dry humor. She often uses jokes to cope with stressful situations or to gently bully those she cares about. She also enjoys ā€˜complaining’ about minor inconveniences, because she certainly never does about the things that truly do matter.
