( ben barnes, 28/191, he/him )  welcome to  san francisco, DAMON SALVATORE.  rumor has it they are a  VAMPIRE, but only they could tell you the truth! when i close my eyes, i think of them and imagine BARBED INSULTS DRIPPING IN BOURBON, DARK COLORED V-NECKS, AND A SUPERNOVA JUST BEFORE IT BECOMES A BLACK HOLE.

GENERAL OVERVIEW / DIVERGENCE

damon  salvatore  is  a  canon  character  from  the  vampire  diaries.  i  won’t  go  a  lot  into  his  background,  given  he’s  a  canon,  but  you  can  read  all  about  him  here.

everything  is  canon  up  until  the  tvd  finale.  instead  of  stefan  injecting  the  cure  into  his  veins  to  stop  him  from  going  after  him,  he’s  just  knocked  unconscious  with  the  cure  in  his  hand.  when  he  wakes  up,  he’s  still  a  vampire  and  he  has  the  cure  which  he  fully  planned  on  taking.  still  reeling  from  the  losses  of  his  brother  and  his  best  friend,  damon  threw  himself  into  his  relationship  with  elena  once  she’d  been  awakened  from  her  magical  coma.  he  proposed  but  there  was  no  happy  ending  —  elena  died  (  or  at  least,  that’s  what  he  believes  )  when  her  car  went  off  wickery  bridge.  fate  had  a  sense  of  humor  and  finally  decided  to  set  things  right  for  good.  

at  first  he  believed  there  was  a  chance.  he  sought  out  witches,  demons,  you  name  it,  but  couldn’t  find  anyone  who  could  help  him.  there  was  no  other  side  and  even  if  there  was  —  ELENA  WAS  HUMAN.  there  was  no  second  chance  for  them.  it  was  over.  when  he  lost  faith  entirely,  the  pain  was  so  overwhelming  and  suffocating  that  he  flipped  his  switch.  he  was  already  suffering  from  PTSD  surrounding  the  deaths  of  the  people  he  loved  most  and  an  extreme  case  of  survivor’s  guilt.  losing  the  biggest  link,  the  tether  to  his  humanity,  was  more  than  he  could  bear.  after  he  flipped  his  switch,  he  left  mystic  falls  and  the  memories  of  his  past  behind.   HE  STARTED  FRESH.

LIFE  BETWEEN  2019-2029

shortly  after  leaving  mystic  falls,  damon  moved  to  mexico.  he  drowned  himself  in  tequila,  blood,  and  poor  decisions  and  loved  every  second  of  it.   he  drank  when  he  wanted,  killed  for  sport,  and  had  no  regard  for  anyone  or  anything  that  might  get  in  his  way.  if  anyone  from  his  old  life  showed  up,  he  made  damn  sure  they  either  got  on  board  with  his  lifestyle  choices  or  he  sent  them  packing.   he  had  no  intentions  of  switching  his  emotions  back  on  and  would  avoid  anyone  who  might  seem  like  an  emotional  trigger.

his  body  count  was  so  significant,  spanning  several  cities,  that  it  caught  the  attention  of  local  and  international  law  enforcement.  (  it  was  believed  at  first  to  be  the  narcs,  but  even  they  didn’t  want  to  claim  this  as  theirs.  )   they  called  him  EL  DESANGRADOR  —  the  drainer  /  blood  drainer.    he  honestly  thought  it  was  pretty  funny  and  got  a  kick  out  of  watching  them  hunt  down  suspects  and  chase  dead  ends.  the  true  body  count  is  unknown,  but  the  reports  speculated  it  was  into  the  hundreds  over  the  ten  years  of  terror.   the  true  count,  if  he  had  to  estimate,  was  probably  10x  that.  

in  2029,  damon  heard  whispers  that  something  strange  was  happening  back  home in  the  united  states.  a  war  between  gods  and  witches,  causing  the  dead  to  rise  from  their  graves.  there  was  a  part  of  him  that  was  desperate  to  go  back  there,  the  first  stirring  of  some  true  emotion  since  he  flipped  that  switch,  but  it  wasn’t  enough  to  see  him  go  back.   he  shoved  it  down  and  redoubled  his  efforts  to  get  lost  in  a  sea  of  bodies  and  blood.  

 roughly  three  months  ago,  damon  showed  up  in  san  francisco.  one  day  he  just  woke  up  and  felt  compelled  to  go  back  to  the  states.  he  didn’t  want  to  go  —  he  had  to.   upon  arriving  he  kept  himself  scarce,  avoiding  any  familiar  faces  and  compelling  his  way  into  owning  a  bar.   he  renamed  it  ST.  SALVATORES,  threw  a  huge  grand  opening,  and  officially  announced  that  he  was  back  in  town.   hiding  in  the  shadows  had  gotten  boring  and  he  was  ready  for  a  change.  

NOW

damon’s  been  in  san  francisco  for  roughly  three  months.  he  still  owns  his  bar,  is  living  in  the  most  expensive  foreclosure  in  town,  and  is  living  his  best  life.  

while  he’s  been  avoiding  the  people  he  used  to  know  like  they  have  the  plague,  he’s  recently  decided  to  just  focus  on  him  —  DAMON  TIME  —  and  he  doesn’t  care  who,  or  what,  might  take  opposition  to  it.

CONNECTIONS

drinking  buddies  /  chaos  buddies  from  his  time  in  mexico.  these  are  people  that  damon  would  have  met  and  spent  time  with  when  he  was  living  in  mexico.  he  was  there  for  10  years,  give  or  take,  so  if  your  muse  could  have  been  there  between  2019  and  2029  it  could  work.  these  muses  would  have  either  encouraged  his  bad  behavior  or  simply  found  it  amusing.   (1/4 taken  by  rebekah)

employees  at  st. salvatores.  these  could  be  bartenders,  dishwashers,  servers,  host/hostess’, live  entertainment,  etc.  i’m  open  to  pretty  much  anything.  (2/?, taken by jo - bartender, austen - waitress. )

regulars  at  st. salvatores.  these  are  familiar  faces  who  spend  a  lot  of  time  at  the  bar.  maybe  they’ve  got  a  problem,  maybe  they  just  like  the  vibe,  but  for  whatever  reason  they  spend  a  lot  of  time  together.  (1/?, taken by will )

partner  in  crime.  upon  getting  to  town,  damon  ran  into  this  muse  sinking  their  teeth  into  someone  in  the  middle  of  the  town  square.  he  lauded  their  lack  of  regard  for  discretion  and  decided  they  should  be  allies.  they’re  not  friends  per  say,  their  personalities  probably  clash  at  times,  but  if  there’s  some  chaos  or  debauchery  happening  you  can  bet  these  two  are  probably  together.  preferably  this  muse  would  be  a  vampire  or  a  hybrid.   (0/1 taken.)

anchor  to  his  old  life.   this  is  someone  who’s  made  it  their  mission  in  life  to  try  to  bring  him  back.  they  remember  the  person  he  was  —  a  person  who  wasn’t  perfect  but  was  trying  to  be  better  —  and  want  to  bring  that  person  back.  so  far  they’ve  been  unsucessful  in  convincing  him  to  switch  back  but  they’re  a   glutton  for  punishment  and  just  keep  coming  back  for  more.  (0/1 taken.)

human  blood  bag  /  compelled  confidante.  like  with  andy  in  canon,  damon  has  compelled  this  muse  to  be  his  personal  blood  bank  when  he’s  too  lazy  or  unmotivated  to  go  out  and  search.  he  also  uses  them  as  a  sounding  board  for  some  of  his  wild  ideas,  or  grievances  he  has  with  people  who’ve  annoyed  him.   some  people  journal,  this  is  damon’s  process.  (1/1 taken by hazel.)

victims.  maybe  this  muse  is  someone  damon  killed,  or  someone  related  to  someone  he  killed.  regardless,  they’ve  been  hurt  by  him  in  the  past  and  maybe  they’re  looking  to  get  revenge  or  just  some  closure.  bonus  points  if  he  doesn’t  remember  killing  them  because  they’re  just  one  of  the  many  in  his  sea  of  bodies  over  the  years.  (0/3 taken)

hook-ups / flings.  this  one  is  pretty  self  explanatory.  damon’s  always  had  a  way  with  women  —  and  men  bc  he  deserves  bisexual  rights  —  so  his  past  ( and  his  present  )  is  littered  with  casual  encounters  and  sexual  experiences.  (1/?? taken  by  chloe. )

[requiemsfcre]

   ( deaken bluman, 21, he/him ) welcome to san francisco, SPENCER LOUGHTY. rumor has it they are a REAPER, but only they could tell you the truth! when i close my eyes, i think of them and imagine DANCING IN EMPTY STREETS, SCUFFED DOC MARTENS & THE SMELL OF CIGARETTE SMOKE.

guess who’s back, back at it again !! yes, here’s another trashy character that I’ll love and adore. merely hoping he’s appreciated by others but also be warned he’s a mess ( no one is surprised, I’m sure ). 

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN:

So we’d all love a nice wholesome story: mom meets mom, dad etc. they have Spencer and all is good in the world ( insert Mr Blue Sky playing to some soft sunny montage ). except it was more like, mom walks into a bar meets a guy ( Sam Winchester ) in one nightstand, she ends up pregnant and nine months later there’s Spencer. 

Mr. Blue Sky still plays, 2010 in a small town in the south. mother and son happy or at least appear to be; his mother is overworked and probably didn’t need a screaming baby to come home to or to have to pay the neighbors to watch him while she was gone and the irony is she loves him and he loves her...

Then he’s 15, he waits for his mom to come home and she doesn’t; he’s unsurprised, as all by myself plays in the background he recalls every argument they’d had and his mother merely just wanted peace. 

She moves in with her boyfriend, some questionable dude that looks like he listens to folk songs and prays too often ( at least it’s nice to see people having a little faith -- insert Faith by George Michael ). And Spencer moves in with the neighbors, not a real family, and hardly equipped to take care of him but they try and they try well.

 Spencer is smart, tests well, and weirdly get away with not looking like some nerdy teen who watches Star Trek on repeat. he dates whoever, sometimes finds that he forgets gender exists and seems to love people too much ( or at least care too much ). 

By the time he graduates high school, he exceeds expectations. heads off to Princeton in some effort to free himself of ties to his hometown though he calls the family that helped him out every day and asks how his mom is ( regardless of how little she seemed to care ) and all goes well. 

Three years in and he’s happy or as happy as he can be, in a relationship with a couple of people, he’d say college was for experimenting but he just enjoyed the love and being able to give it out. and then it all goes to shit...

His bag gets caught on something and he tugs at it, probably too invested in saving the bag he has from complete ruin, that the road behind him isn’t a concern. he pulls and it’s free but he’s falling and he breaks his left leg weirdly the agony of that seemed easier than what was coming; before he knows it he’s hit by a car. they don’t stop and he doesn’t die straight away; his lungs fill with blood until he suffocates to death. 

But at least he’s off to heaven right and as Forever Young plays, he finds out just how wrong he is.  shout out to the literal being Death saying not today bitch and there he becomes a reaper. finds himself in SF and the rest is history. 

In the early days, he’d go visit back home and watch his mom or the family that took care of him but it got too painful after a while...so did watching his own funeral. 

PERSONALITY:

Let's see he’s soft and quirky, he is nerdier than he appears and he has a tendency to want to sit in the same space for hours and talk or run around the streets singing and dancing to terrible music that he only got into because his mom left it behind when she yeeted. he’s a loving person, an honest one, and empathetic to a degree. once he’s known a person for anywhere from a day to a week, he’s happy to be affectionate aka. divebomb hugs and all that jazz. He also tries to be funny and isn’t so that’s all fun and games. 

[elijahm]

( daniel gillies, 1000+, he / him ) welcome to san francisco, ELIJAH MIKAELSON. rumor has it they are a VAMPIRE, but only they could tell you the truth! when i close my eyes, i think of them and imagine CUSTOM TAILORED SUITS, RED DOORS AND UNDYING FAMILY LOYALTY.

background - before san francisco 

elijah mikaelson is a self proclaimed family man who has spent over a thousand years devoted to his family and keeping them both safe and happy, even if it costs him his own happiness. although his outward appearance is that of a refined gentlemen, elijah is very much a monster, especially when someone threatens his family. 

tvd & to 

after getting his family back in tvd, he, along with rebekah and klaus, moved to the city of new orleans. he discovered his long lost, older sister freya, regained kol and even finn for a short while, and as a family, they faced their usual onslaught of enemies. however, it wasn’t all death and destruction, the family also welcomed their first new member and the family’s light - hope mikaelson. elijah saw the birth of his niece as a way for his brother, klaus, to finally redeem himself and prove that there was still potential for both him and the rest of the family. 

along the way, elijah fell for hayley marshall, the mother of his niece. knowing how klaus would react, he denied his feelings for hayley as best as he could, but they inevitably got together when neither of them could deny their feelings any longer. unfortunately, this ended in the worst of ways when elijah had to leave for hope’s safety, and got his memory wiped in order to make it easier for himself. a memory wiped elijah witnessed hayley’s death and didn’t attempt to intervene, not knowing who she was. racked with guilt over hayley’s death, elijah decided to follow klaus in death (everything from tvd / to is canon unless plotted otherwise) 

current - san francisco 

having come back from the dead, elijah’s first priority is to find his family, to make sure they are okay and to keep them from doing anything reckless. he sees this as a somewhat second chance at the united family that he longed for and momentarily glimpsed before his death 

plotting

always up for plotting! just send me a message through discord or IM and i’ll get back to you as soon as possible! i look forward to RPing with you all :)

[diabolics]

( joseph morgan, 1000+, he/him )  welcome to  san francisco, KLAUS MIKAELSON.  rumor has it they are a HYBRID, but only they could tell you the truth! when i close my eyes, i think of them and imagine THE SLOW RISE OF A BLOOD MOON, PAINT BRUSHES ABANDONED IN DIRTY GLASS JARS, AND AN OLD FAMILY CREST TAKEN OVER BY NATURE.

the original hybrid

origins; klaus mikaelson is the bastard son of mikael, and the biological son of esther and a werewolf, ansel. as a child he suffered the worst of mikael’s abuse for his weakness ( forced upon him by his mother ) and interests that did not match his father’s goal to teach his children how to be strong. the affair was only revealed after esther turned her children into immortals ( vampires ) per mikael’s request, and klaus’ bloodlust triggered his werewolf gene, turning him into the very creatures that plagued their lives in the new world. esther managed to suppress it by means of dark magic, but klaus retaliated and ran. mikael would hunt him down for centuries to come. his amplified emotions and and the abuse he suffered turned him into a cruel and violent man, and mikael’s eternal hunt for him made him paranoid as well. klaus spent the centuries revelling in the power he never had before, looking for a way to break the curse on his werewolf side and running from mikael. tvd; klaus first appears when he learns there is a new petrova doppelganger around, and his curse can be broken again. despite promising to help him, elijah turns on him at the last minute and only backs down when he promises to reunite him with his family. the betrayal only solidifies klaus’ search for companionship, and his resulting obsession with siring hybrids. later on his family is reunited, but he is yet again betrayed by his own mother. after butchering his own hybrids and rebekah destroying what little human blood was left of elena, he leaves to new orleans only to learn marcel has everything he wants. to; the war over the french quarter turned brother against brother and father against son. klaus learns of rebekah’s ultimate betrayal, meets his long lost older sister, freya, and mourns the loss of marcel and camille. it is through hope, however, that he finds some of his humanity back. she brings the family together and it is for her that, years later, he is able to find peace along with elijah in surrender and death. (unless otherwise requested/plotted, all canon facts will remain.) 

san francisco; he doesn’t know why or how he is back, but he is quick to reunite with his family. klaus doesn’t have the attachment to san fran that he did with NOLA, but if he must live here, then he will want it under his control and influence, much like he did with NOLA. since his return he has been making sure people remember the mikaelson name is something to fear, as well as doing his best not to seem like a bloodthirsty raging monster in hope’s eyes ( which he is, but he would rather not advertise ). he can be found moving about san fran, making allies or intimidating enemies ( depending on his mood ) more often than not over bourbon and long rants on vaguely relevant topics.

the plotting

at his core, klaus is interested in protecting his family in this stirring pot of supernatural activity --- but he has also been dead for a while and he can take a ( small ) break from scheming to enjoy life a little.

temperamental, proud, violent, artististic, intelligent and goal-oriented ( with a preference for blondes who like to roast him ) he is ready to be your next problem.

hmu for plotting at crybaby#6973 :)

    (  curran walters,  18,  he/him  ) welcome to san francisco, MAXWELL HARVEY. rumor has it they are a FAIRY, but only they could tell you the truth! when i close my eyes, i think of them and imagine STACKED FILES, LOOSE FLOORBOARDS AND SHOWING TEETH.

for  his  og  intro,  click  here.  for  his  possession  of  jackson,  click  here.  

tl;dr;  he  possessed  jackson  ackery  when  he  arrived  back  in  san  francisco,  now  lives  with  him  in  a  symbiotic  relationship.  think  venom  and  eddie  brock  but  max  allows  jackson  to  come  out  based  on  his  own  good  judgement.  he  then  met  parker  tyrell  and  started  a  sherlock  and  moriarty  dynamic  with  her.  until,  unbeknownst  to  them  both,  he  fell in  love  with  her  and  became  somewhat  of  a  person.  

SEASON 1;  

season  one  started  with  his  possession  of  jackson  ackery.  he,  at  first,  thought  he  would  be  a  pain  as  he  chose  him  aesthetically,  not  for  the  company.  to  his  surprise,  they  aligned  well.  jackson  enjoyed  taking  a  backseat  and  watching  max  enact  his  darkest  inclinations.  it  works  for  both  of  them.  he  also  seems  to  have  pretty  apt  commentary.  

he  met  parker  by  accident.  he  was  standing  in  his  apartment,  soaked  in  blood  and  being  well  himself.  it  quickly  became  clear  to  him  that  she  wasnt  just  anyone.  thus  began  the  slow  process  of  learning  about  the  only  person  who  had ever  come  to  best  him.

she  didn’t  entirely  unravel  his  narcissism  but  she  opened  his  mind  enough  to  allow  it  to  include  two  people.  he’s  pretty  sure  she’s  the  only  other  person  worthy  of  anything  in  the  world. 

he  also  came  to  know  v  during  his  time  in  jackson’s  body  and  assisted  in  entirely  breaking  ever’s  spirit.  they’re  friends  now,  brothers  he  might  even  say.  jackson  doesn’t  seem  to  mind,  although  he  does  want  to  take  a  head  trip  with  v  one  day.  just  to  see  what  it’s  like.

the  biggest  change  is  by  far  the  way  he  lives  his  life.  parker  has  shown  him  that  in  order  to  be  truly  superior  one  has  to  mingle  in  the  ordinary  world.  he’s  taken  her  advice.  he’s  enrolled  at  her  school,  under  a  criminal  psychology  major  because  of  course  he  has,  and  has  even  cleaned  up  his  apartment.  it  looks  ordinary  now,  and  he’s  struck  by  the  idea  he’s  not.  as  per  usual,  parker  was  right.  

[ircnxveils]

        ( madelaine petsch, 19, she/her ) welcome to san francisco, ELIZA CERRATO. rumor has it they are a HYBRID, but only they could tell you the truth! when i close my eyes, i think of them and imagine FRESH TATTOOS, BLOODSTAINED SKIN & HURRICANES.

Okay, so there’s a lot to unpack with Eliza so I’ll attempt to condense it as much as I can. 

So Eliza was in a different body originally and was a Werewolf who via bad parents was shoved into the foster system as a kid. 

She eventually ran away from the system and ended up on the streets shout out to her being a naive kid at the time and ending up in a pack after she triggered her curse because she wanted a family but shit never panned out and she had to eventually escape that.

She wound up at Salvatore young and lost/still in her OG body and causing far too many fights. But eventually, she made friends with her family ( because family isn’t always about blood ) and the Gangbangers had a blast. 

She was best friends with Victoria first, JJ she seemed to have a kinship with given they’d both experienced street life and in the beginning, she loved to hate her enemy Adan who just so happened to be with her best friend. 

She was content and then her brother from her father’s side came along and fucked that up hence a brief absence and a new face. 

This happened to be around the same time Adan had needed somewhere to go and yes while they enjoyed telling each other how much they hated one another she wouldn’t have turned him away for anything; this was virtually the start of enemies becoming friends. 

She cared, he was going through shit and so was she but she couldn’t tell too many people and maybe, in the end, that’s what led to the choice to stick by Adan even when he’d turned off his humanity because he’d yeeted his parents where they belonged.

They became ride or die and she’d murder a bitch or fight the world for him. 

Is she also involved with the Mafia, I can only say yes. 

She left school early due to the present work she’s doing, so yk she yeeted probably only sees people outside of that environment and is busy doing dodgy things. 

Connections:

Salvatore school acquaintances; an enemy or friendly, anything goes.

People, she’s met who have been willing to fight with her for sport; surprising that she enjoys it as more than just breaking some annoying kid's nose. 

People she has fucked over; whether this is in a big way or a small way. 

Exes, granted these are limited given she doesn’t often like emotionally investing in people. 

Wolves she used to stick with for a full moon.

    ( dylan minnette, 22, he/him ) welcome to san francisco, GABRIEL MONEDERO. rumor has it they are a CAMBION, but only they could tell you the truth! when i close my eyes, i think of them and imagine STAINED GREY TSHIRTS, HUSHED CONVERSATIONS AND NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS STUCK TO THE WALL. 

gabriel  is  irati  monedero’s  younger  brother.  born  three  years  after  her,  his  father  (  hector  )  was  thrilled  to  have  a  son.  he  took  time  to  form  gabriel  in  his  image  and  until  he  was  eleven,  he  didn’t  see  a  problem  with  that  approach  or  his  father.  he  was  very  much  a  daddy’s  boy.  

he  had  a  bit  of  a  habit  of  walking  above  other  people,  probably  a  side  effect  of  the  fact  he  was  spoiled  with  attention  by  his  father,  and  as  a  kid,  he  took  that  out  on  strangers  for  the  most  part.  his  sister  caught  him  bullying  a  girl  when  he  was  eleven  and  beat  him  to  a  bloody  pulp.

his  father  became  charmed  with  her  for  the  display  of  violence,  although  she  was  apologetic.  they  became  closer  than  before  and  gabriel  came  to  stand  against  his  father  in  time  when  he  realised  how  brain  washed  he  really  was.  they  hatched  a  plan  to  kill  him,  although  he  wasn’t  responsible  for  the  dirty  work.  irati  committed  the  deed,  he  covered  it  all  up.

their  mother  died  from  the  shock  of  finding  them  and  he  left  with  his  sister  on  the  run.

after  having  been  on  the  run,  they  were  found  by  an  organisation  that  promised  to  give  him  a  normal  life  if  his  sister  left  with  them.  she  agreed  and  he  was  taken  to  a  good  family,  as  promised.  he  just  did  an  EXCELLENT  job  of  fucking  that  up.

he  met  victoria  villalobos  and  quickly  became  entangled  with  her  life  and,  by  extension,  the  mafia.  apparently,  his  brand  is  being  manipulated  by  powerful  older  men  as  a  would  be  soldier.  because  of  this,  he  got  close  enough  to  get  to  know  spades  and  see  him,  frankly,  as  the  echoes  of  his  father.  he  was  in  two  minds  about  betraying  him,  as  he  never  quite  had  the  stomach  his  sister  did  and  thought  covering  up  a  murder  was  a  world  away  from  a  life  of  crime.  but  he  still  believed  no  one  like  that  should  be  allowed  to  walk  the  world  without  consequence.

unfortunately,  victoria  found  out  about  his  loyalty  problem  before  he  decided  against  betraying  spades,  and  decided  to  hold  it  over  his  head.  he  eventually  had  to  quietly  retreat  as  he  knew  he  was  no  match  for  the  literal  mafia.  (  and  to  be  honest,  victoria.  )

he  spent  his  time  away  getting  in  with  the  Bad  Crowd  tm  that  his  past  experiences  should  prove  he  really  should’ve  stayed  away  from.  

he’s  back  in  san  francisco  with  renewed  skills  and  a  ticking  time  bomb  of  a  plan  to  boot.  the  fact  his  sister  is  here?  that  would  be  a  happy  accident.

my ideas of lucien’s past is that he once had a crush on both de martel siblings. homosexual tendencies were highly frowned upon and was rejected by tristan because of both his new social standing and repulsed by the idea of it. aurora was already being courted by klaus much to lucien’s disdain, and because she is obviously smitten with the original hybrid, there was no room for him in her heart. so he was left rather hurt on both ends of his crushes back then.

so i am mostly okay with how things worked out for lucien since it seemed organic in a sense. he was fueled by his need to enact revenge against the mikaelsons that he conspired with the de martels to do so, but of course he had his own ulterior motive. his motives were directly aligned with that of the ancestors that were also looking to rid the world of the original family, so he was then turned into an 𝙪𝙥𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙫𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙚. he is stronger than that of an original vampire with the added benefit of producing and bestowing is own werewolf toxin that can kill any vampire, including original vampires and has no known cure.

𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓

very much thought that he was the beast that the prophecy predicted and was placed in a rather eternal slumber that was supposed to be permanent.... 𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙤 𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩.

the time spent dead has changed lucien to a degree as he realized that revenge wasn’t all as sweet as he imagined. even though he became something of great power he was still taken down by the mikaelsons. while he may have been revived through unknown means, he’s the same vampire he was when he died, just without the desire to enact revenge on the original family. you know,  𝙗 𝙮 𝙜 𝙤 𝙣 𝙚 𝙨   𝙖 𝙣 𝙙   𝙬 𝙝 𝙖 𝙩   𝙣 𝙤 𝙩.

that’s  ethan  fell  not  max  thieriot.  he’s  eighteen  years  old  and  a  vampire. he may be +  good-hearted, +  athletic  &  +  aware  but  he’s  also  -  competitive, -  short-tempered  & -  risk-taking.

honestly  yall,  leo  just  wasnt  sparking  joy.  so,  here  we  are.  

ethan  grew  up  with  his  twin  sister,  maya,  and  his  mother.  their  father  was  never  around  but  their  mother  worked  hard  to  feed  the  family.  bouncing  between  towns  and  opportunities.  ethan  was  naturally  gifted  at  football  from  an  early  age  and  became  a  scholarship  prospect  at  an  early  age.  

that  was  ethan’s  plan  to  get  into  college  and  he  practiced  with  his  sister  day  in  and  day  out.  he  only  improved  as  he  got  older  and  was  hopeful  as  they  moved  to  san  francisco  because  an  administrative  position  had  opened  up  for  their  mother.  it  paid  relatively  well  and  was  in  a  hot  bed  for  good  colleges.  it  wasn’t  a  hard  choice  to  make.

they  made  the  move  and  ethan  didnt  see  any  negative  effect.  he  was  already  planning  to  make  the  football  team  by  seasons  start.  

that,  to  his  despair,  never  came.  between  winter  and  football  season,  he  saw  several  changes  to  his  life.  he  met  eliza  cerrato,  who  he  immediately  bonded  with.  they  quickly  became  friends,  although  he  could  tell  she  still  held  much  of  herself  to  herself.  he  couldn’t  blame  her,  had  spent  all  of  his  life  growing  aside maya  who  had  similar  coping  mechanisms,  and  so  he  simply  let  it  be.  if  she  needed  him,  he  was  there.  if  she  needed  to  talk,  he  would  listen.  but  never  at  a  push.

little  did  he  know,  the  nature  of  eliza’s  secrets  were  quite  different  than  the  ones  he  expected.  his  world  became  diluted  with  hers,  the  supernatural.  the  revelation  came  as  a  shock,  naturally,  but  it  also  didn’t  change  anything  in  his  eyes.  as  he  saw,  it  was  an  unfortunate  consequence  of  something  she  never  asked  for  in  the  first  place.  (  she  at  the  least  had  made  that  very  clear.  )  he  didn’t  see  the  harm  in  immersing  himself  in  her  world,  her  problems,  if  it  meant  she  could  confide  in  him.  

as  he  brought  himself  further  into  her  world,  however,  he  also  started  to  lose  touch  with  his  own.  focus  on  football  became  focus  on  body  swaps,  drills  were  replaced  by  research  and  company  at  eliza’s  side.  he  could  tell  it  worried  his  mother  but  he  assured  her  that  nothing  had  changed.  and,  at  the  time,  he  really  did  believe  it.  

the  crescendo  to  his  ever  increasing  involvement  in  eliza’s  world  came  when  he  could  no  longer  separate  it  from  his  own.  everything  was  (  relatively  )  easy  when  he  could  catalogue  supernatural  problems  and  existence  by  relating  them  to  eliza.  but  after  an  unfortunate  incident  involving  barbara  friedh,  he  found  out  he  was  just  as  much  a  part  of  eliza’s  world  as  she  had  become  a  part  of  his.  it  was  an  honest  misunderstanding.  he  thought  she  was  trying  to  hurt  someone,  he  was  only  trying  to  pry  her  off.  but  he  pulled  too  hard,  too  fast,  and  all  the  pent  up  anger  football  and  training  used  to  ease  came  out  at  once.  she  died  as  he  watched  in  horror.   

when  he  came  home  later,  buckled  over  with  regret  and  pain,  he  would  find  that  he  too  was  cursed.  he  simply  couldn’t  take  it.  before  the  first  moon  ever  came,  he  began  doing  research  into  body  swaps.  (  he  knew  he  was  a  coward  for  it,  but  he  didn’t  want  this.  )  it  was  mostly  pop  folk  lore,  much  like  most  of  the  things  he’d  found  on  the  internet  initially,  but  there  were  some  helpful  local  legends.  

at  the  end  of  the  day,  it  was  almost  accidental.  when  he  did  get  body  swapped,  it  was  because  he  went  down  the  road  of  local  legends.  a  few  rumours  and  a  few  quid-pro-quo’s.  he  was  finally  approached  by  a  coven  of  local  witches  willing  to  do  it  for  free,  having  heard  of  him  through  the  grapevine.  they  told  him  they  wouldn’t  change  him,  only  wanted  his  co-operation  in  return  and  he  thought  it  was  almost  too  good  to  be  true.  he  agreed  and  the  deal  was  done.  

they  told  him  (  what  he  thought  )  was  everything.  that  he  might  feel  the  presence  of  the  person  who’s  body  this  once  was,  but  not  to  worry.  that  was  normal.  much  like  a  heart  transplant.  his  only  request  was  a  new  body  and  they  made  it  all  seem  so  normal  that  when  he  settled  into  sleep  (  that  they  assured  him  was  absolutely  necessary  )  he  woke  up  a  different  man.  he  saw  it  as  a  relief.  he  was  significantly  older  than  he  had  imagined,  but  it  didn’t  seem  terrible.  his  new  body  came  with  a  shiny  new  ring  he  was  instructed,  by  note  from  where  it  lay  beside  him,  to  never  take  off.  he  assumed  it  was  important,  perhaps  tied  to  his  ability  to  stay  in  this  body,  so  he  obeyed.  he  was  grateful,  at  the  end  of  the  day.  his  experience  with  all  of  this  was  local  legends  after  all.  

not,  at  least,  until  he  realised  he  was  hungry  in  a  way  he  couldn’t  describe.  the  sight  of  himself  in  the  mirror  shocked  him,  all  red  eyes  and  pointy  teeth.  he  understands,  now,  why  they  had  agreed  to  take  him  for  free.  they  were  ridding  themselves  of  a  problem.  you  weren’t  allowed  to  kill  just  to  see  what  happened.  (  he  doesn’t  know  if  that’s  what  happened,  but  the  not  knowing  is  almost  worse.  because,  as  far  as  he  can  tell,  the  man  who  once  occupied  this  body,  as  far  as  he  can  tell,  is  long  gone.  long  dead.  the  crucial  part  of  heart  transplants  is  the  donor  is  always  dead.  )  he  feels  like  he’s  stepped  right  into  altered  carbon  ;  residing  in  a  body  he’s  paid  money  he  doesn’t  have  for.  magic,  as  they  say,  always  comes  with  a  price.  he’s  in  dangerously  over  his  head.

( ursula corbero, 25, she/her ) welcome to san francisco, IRATI MONEDERO. rumor has it they are a CAMBION, but only they could tell you the truth! when i close my eyes, i think of them and imagine BLACK HELMETS AND MOTORCYCLES, A KATANA WITH FRESH DRIPPING BLOOD, THE NOISE OF A NUCLEAR ALARM.

tw: child abuse, violence, murder, child murder

born in madrid, spain, to an alcoholic abusive father ( hector monedero ) and a mother to meek and ill to help anyone, including herself ( martina monedero ).

is the oldest of two siblings, having a brother who is three years younger.

hector has hated her from the moment she was born, seeing how he’s always wanted to have a son. 

they moved to the usa after martina’s case became a social case and a charity funded her treatment abroad.

needless to say, hector was overjoyed when a son was born and the two became very close. in fact, hector was steadily building the boy in his image, so hector’s torment started to double.

as a child, irati was obedient and shy, though all of the things that rained down on her were simply taken and bottled up inside of a volcano. when she was 14 and her brother 11, she witnessed him do some horrible things to a girl. she jumped in her defense, but ended up getting carried away and beating her own brother up to a pulp. looks like violence became her answer for everything too.

oddly enough, that made hector like her slightly more. and since she felt apologetic, she and her brother started over and their bond was closer than before. they both came to understand hector was ruining them, so they decided to do something and rid themselves, their mother, and the world of his torment.

unsurprisingly, they killed him. turns out that irati had quite the nerve and stomach and that her brother was terribly good at covering things up. their mother caught them and, amid the shock, had a heart attack and died on the spot. in a fit of rage, irati burned down the house and she fled together with her brother.

they were later found by someone who made a habit out of ‘collecting’ troubled and dangerous supernatural kids, taking their worst traits and turning them into useful things for doing some good ( really badly ).

murdering came easy to her and she quickly rose as a skilled assassin. by the age of 25, she became the head of the assassination group and was sent to carry out a mission that should have been simple in theory. they dealt with a demonic cult and then ran into a boy, no older than 15, who was one of those truly evil cambions. 

some of her team claimed he was just a child. he did too, claiming he was starting anew. but she recognized that glint in his eye, that sweet lie, similar to her own father’s. in a fit of paranoia and a bit of ptsd, she pressed the trigger and killed him, breaking the biggest rule: NO KILLING CHILDREN.

she was demoted from her position and kicked out of the home for a janitor job at salvatore. it’s mean to serve as a lesson or whatever, but truth be told, she’s pissed. she believes she’s made the right choice, that the kid would’ve grown up to be another hector, and she’s definitely not made for trash duty.

she’s been on the job for around three months and it gets worse every day. she can’t leave because there’s nowhere else to go and because she kinda wants her old life back ( and might also kind of want to redeem herself ).

WANTED CONNECTIONS

another one of the foster kids.

someone she used to tag team with for assassination missions.

a friend with benefits.

a student at salvatore she especially hates.

someone who knew her as a child, before she killed her father.

someone who lost a beloved person bc she offed them.

her brother.

( jenny boyd, 18, she/her ) welcome to san francisco, lizzie saltzman. rumor has it they are a siphoner, but only they could tell you the truth! when i close my eyes, i think of them and imagine pink lip gloss, teary blue eyes, popping gum while wearing overalls.

yes. another one. bruh moment.

- background -

elizabeth “lizzie saltzman” and her twin sister, josie, were conceived by alaric saltzman and jo laughlin. i say conceived, because, on her wedding day, jo was horribly murdered by her twin brother, kai parker, while she was still pregnant. the gemini coven, which jo used to be a part of, saved the girls’ lives by performing a spell which transfered them to the womb of another: caroline forbes, who also gave birth to them.

both lizzie and josie were born siphoners, a rare breed of witches that don’t possess their own magic and instead need to absorb it from various magical sources.

add some typical tvdu shenanigans and her childhood was… pretty eventful.

when caroline and alaric opened the salvatore school for the young and gifted, lizzie started to attend alongside her sister, who she’s been rooming with ( given it’s also a boarding school ).

the last episode of legacies canon to lizzie over here is 1x11.

- season 1 -

UPDATED VERSION.

lizzie had a brief relationship and it’s now over. 

josie went dark and almost killed her, so things were awkward for a while but now they’re good again.

she struck a deal with the devil aka kai parker and he’s been training her. in return, she developed a stockholm syndrome, so that’s nice.

miscellaneous things happened that made her kinda grow as a person.

( halston sage, 22/unknown, she/her ) welcome to san francisco, HARLOW VALENTINE. rumor has it they are a DEMON / KNIGHT OF HELL, but only they could tell you the truth! when i close my eyes, i think of them and imagine KILL BILL SIRENS, PSYCHOTIC GRINS, FAINT SCREAMS BEHIND A WALL.  |  

gather up fellas, for your favorite crackhead petty demon. while there are some changes in her background she remains the same-- maybe except, pettier.

CLICKING SOMEWHERE IN HERE-- there’s like the fleshed out info + a bunch of details. 

i’m not saying you should read it ( you should ) but i’ll try to give a TLDR: 

- harlow is lowkey ancient and has gone through 76432345 vessels and identities.  -mind you, all of them tall and blonde because that’s her aesthetic apparently.  - she still worked for jack because she had nothing better to do + hey, she got paid for doing what she liked so why the fuck not.  - until she got assigned to look after xion aka william.  - “DO I LOOK LIKE A BABYSITTER TO YOU???” -harlow, probably.  - “fuck them kids.” -definitely harlow.  - still she put the bare minimum to drag 'nothing’ back + avoid anything to get him killed. - until the pain in the ass that was pre-teen rapunzel escaped. so she faded to 0% opacity.  - she still hung around jack for a while as she got tasked with retrieving him back, but guess what? she hated jack more than she hated will so like..... win/win i guess???  - this doesn’t stop harlow from being #1 fan of fuck lizwil’s rights.  - except she only hates them for petty reasons.  -like lizzie being hot idk.  - at some point she got a better deal and peaced away from jack. 

- so what was that deal? you’ll hear it in a bit, but FIRST:  harlow is the owner of a nice shady strip club she gracefully named DANTE’S. ( name right on the nose. ) especially as having access to a lower floor means there’s a different scenario-- from bets, to cage fights, and actual murder rooms. but everything is hush hush okay, let’s not go around yelling about this unless you want a knife to the throat.  i’ll do the design one day when i’m not doing a TLDR-- anyway, she loves it because turns out when you own something you can do whatever the fuck you want in there ig. 

- during a not so fun time, with some witches wanting revenge and the spell going wrong. harlow got stuck in aidy silvermist’s body and to her dismay aidy had hers. eventually, she grabbed back the remaining witch and forced him to put them back where they belonged. and they’d never speak about that again BUT SOMEONE got too comfortable with her vessel’s face, one sold soul later, a shapeshifter body used and ta-da; harlow got struck right on the greed. aidy said “i want that face” and now she also had it. 

 - harlow, about a face that isn’t even hers: THAT’S MINE!1!1!!1!1!!  -soz bitch.

-anyway, remember the better deal? so little ol’ v one day said: ‘i wanna be the king of hell.’ to which harlow said: ‘good luck, pal.’ nevertheless, the offer was too good. she’s always been greedy after all. v got what he wanted, and harlow didn’t slack-- getting granted the title of KNIGHT OF HELL.  

-oh, the entrance to hell is also on the bottom of the club. so good times. :)

( liz gillies, 27, she/her ) welcome to san francisco, BEXLEY ADGER. rumor has it they are a WITCH, but only they could tell you the truth! when i close my eyes, i think of them and imagine A MASSIVE SHOE COLLECTION, PARTIES PAST MIDNIGHT, and RED PAINTED LIPS

-Bexley Blue Adger but she goes by Bex mostly. She’s originally from Akron, Ohio. -Former UFC fight trainee. Kick boxing as a teenager grew into a passion and she still loves it till this day. It has taken a back seat is all -Her mother died in child birth and she was left with a crappy dad who didn’t even like her. She learned very young how to cook and clean and take care of herself. He was usually drinking and passed out on the couch. One day he fell asleep with a lit cigarette when Bex was seven and the house went up in flames. The neighbors were called and he was arrested while a young Bex was tossed into foster care. -She grew up in foster care and aged out of the system. She was the trouble maker with her fire magic. She used to cause all sorts of trouble. It’s probably why she never got a forever home. At sixteen she fell pregnant after a whirlwind romance and she did raise her son for the first three years of his life before a tragic accident took him. It’s still a sad loss that hits home till this day. -She has most recently lived in Los Angeles seeking out a new coven but she didn’t find anything. Coming to San Francisco is a fresh beginning.  -She’s a very confident person and knows she looks good and flaunts it. She doesn’t want to be known just for her looks though or just as that girl who’s easy. She doesn’t think of herself that way. She still had great grades in her schooling and has always had an interest in becoming a nurse. Not that it has panned out yet. -Though her lower class budget doesn’t allow the luxurious things she wished she had she still splurges here and there.

( lana condor, 19, she/her ) welcome to san francisco, NANCY FITZGERALD. rumor has it they are a HUMAN, but only they could tell you the truth! when i close my eyes, i think of them and imagine ROSARY BEADS, FRESH FLOWERS, WHITE LACE.

when i was little, i would come home from church and talk about the devil. my parents would tell me to stop being so literal. i guess i showed them, huh?

nancy fitzgerald was a devout catholic, raised in the church and never-faltering in her beliefs. she carried rosary beads in her pockets and wore a crucifix, and her bible was so well-used that the pages were worn through. beyond that, nancy was a good person. she spent her saturdays at soup kitchens and her evenings at her local cat shelter, and was never the one to leave someone she found on the street without a blanket and some warm food in their belly. nancy was soft-spoken with a shy smile, a gentle soul at its absolute finest. she was nineteen-years-old with her first and only meeting with the winchester brothers. she was a secretary for her local police department, and sam and dean were brought into the station in shackles. she was told be weary of them, that the crimes they’d committed were heinous at best. it was an fbi case, something that their quiet town rarely saw; the majority of the people brought into their custody were drunks or petty theft. nancy watched them with fearful eyes at first, deciding to pray for them and pray for their quick release into fbi custody. of course, as we know, this did not happen. demons began to come for the police department, starting with the fbi agent that brought the boys into custody.  soft as she was, nancy brought the injured winchester brother a towel for his gunshot wound, and before long holy water was made using her stolen rosary beads and toilet water. she watched the boys exorcise the demon with awe in her eyes and in her heart, suddenly glad for their presence at the station. she patched dean’s wounds, and learned that all of her childhood fears were a reality. the beasts described in the bible were true, demons with black eyes meant to torment and torture under the guidance of the devil himself. she’d always feared the devil and his minions after learning of them in church and in her readings of the bible, though her parents had told her she was taking things too literally. to calm her anxious mind, her parents had told her that demons and devils were bad people sent to tempt her away from her faith. if only they’d been right, as nancy was set to face her fears this night. the demons were relentless in their siege, and a demon named ruby was allowed through the wardings by the brothers. she had a spell that required a sacrifice, a virgin sacrifice at that, and nancy was the only one who fit that criteria. though fearful, nancy volunteered herself to be sacrificed for the good of the people around her, and the good of the town. one death versus many...it was an easy decision, when looked at that way. despite her fear, nancy knew that god would not fail her, and that he would be thankful for her sacrifice. however, another plan was devised to trap the demons inside and exorcise them over the speaker system of the station. miraculously, it worked - nancy liked to think it was a miracle. she vowed to begin to live her life in the best way she could, and while be thankful to god for his love and mercy, do what she wanted with her life rather than follow his word so closely (namely the sex thing, she was definitely going to be having sex). unfortunately, nancy would never be given that chance. lilith appeared shortly after the brothers left the station, killing everyone inside and taking them to hell. nancy was dragged to hell and tormented by lilith herself for quite some time before this task was passed along to other demons. she was tortured for her faith, for her love of all that was light and holy. nancy was flayed, the skin continually ripped from her body, for all of eternity. she never stopped screaming. but then somehow, nancy was awake again. the world was cold compared to hell, though otherwise it was as though she had never left. nancy found herself bound to san francisco of all places, body unscarred despite the constant torture she had endured. she was alive, breathing, truly back on earth. was this another miracle? was this god finally saving her, finally rewarding her for all the suffering she had done in his name? she was not as sure anymore in her faith, even in god’s existence. after so much torment, how could she believe? but if there was a hell, why would there not be a heaven? if there was a heaven, why had her god abandoned her? nancy swore her voice was still hoarse for screaming for what had been a millennia for her; a timeless loop of pain and torture and tears. and now on earth, she was having trouble putting things together. more importantly, there were blank spots in her memory that she could not explain. was that a trauma inflicted by hell? only time would tell. but one thing was certain: nancy would not be taking this second chance for granted, and she would be living this time. ---- nancy has developed a split personality due to the torture inflicted upon her in hell. it was her coping mechanism, a way to try to turn off the pain she’d been in constantly. this personality is nearly the opposite of what nancy is. nancy is kind, anxious, goofy and awkward. the split is confident, cruel and manipulative. nancy is unaware of this split, but the split is aware of nancy. and the split wants to become the dominant personality.

( candice king, 17/38, she/her ) welcome to san francisco, CAROLINE FORBES SALVATORE. rumor has it they are a VAMPIRE, but only they could tell you the truth! when i close my eyes, i think of them and imagine METICULOUSLY PLANNED EVENTS WITH AN ATTENTION FOR DETAIL, A SINGLE-MINDED PURPOSE, WHITE ROSES SPECKLED WITH BLOOD, AND THE SINNAMON ROLL - LOOKS SWEET, COULD ACTUALLY KILL YOU.

since  caroline  is  a  canon  character  from  tvd,  i  won’t  go  into  too  much  detail.  you  can  read  all  about  her  here.  i’m  headcanoning  that  she  kept  the  last  name  salvatore,  even  after  the  disaster  that  was  her  wedding,  bc  it  allowed  her  to  keep  a  piece  of  stefan  with  her  even  after  he  was  gone.   plus,  the  name  was  literally  on  the  school  —  there  was  some  ulterior  motives  there.  let’s  be  honest.

in  the  years  since  tvd  ended,  caroline’s  been  hyper  focused  on  two  main  goals.   the  first  being  opening  the  salvatore  school  and  ensuring  it  stays  open,  and  a  safe  space  for  other  supernatural  kids  like  her  girls,  and  trying  to  find  a  way  to  stop  the  merge.

after  jo  laughlin  was  murdered  on  her  wedding  day,  the  gemini  coven  were  able  to  transfer  her  pregnancy  to  caroline  before  they  were  all  killed  by  kai.  caroline  gave  birth  to  the  twins  and  raised  them  as  her  own  with  ric.   she  loved  them,  even  if  they  weren’t  biologically  hers,  and  she’s  never  regretted  that  decision.   everything  she’s  done,  every  difficult  decision  she’s  made,  has  been  to  try  and  protect  her  girls.   at  any  cost.  

she’s  spent  the  last  couple  years  travelling  with  bonnie  to  try  and  find  a  way  to  stop  the  merge.  with  the  years  running  down  the  clock,  she  becomes  more  and  more  terrified  that  they  won’t  be  able  to  find  an  out  and  her  girls  will  be  forced  to  go  through  the  trauma  of  the  merge.  no  matter  the  outcome,  she  knows  there’s  no  happy  ending  if  it  happens.   so  she  won’t  let  it.   

a  lot  of  the  day  to  day  decisions  at  the  salvatore  school  probably  fell  on  ric,  while  caroline  was  off  trying  to  find  loopholes,  or  following  up  on  leads,  so  i  like  to  think  she  didn’t  know  about  some  of  the  shady  shit.   after  her  last  lead  came  up  dry,  and  hearing  about  the  strange  going’s  on  in  san  francisco,  she’s  coming  back  to  make  sure  the  people  she  loves  are  okay.   if  they  need  her,  there’s  nowhere  else  she’d  be.  

personality  wise,  caroline  is  a  control  freak  and  a  perfectionist.  her  lists  have  lists  and  she’s  not  convinced  you  can  ever  be  too  prepared  for  something.   she’s  an  incredibly  caring  person,  would  do  anything  for  her  friends,  and  would  stop  at  nothing  to  protect  them.  she  might  seem  sweet,  which  often  makes  people  underestimate  her,  but  she’s  quick  on  her  feet  and  is  often  three  steps  ahead.  seriously,  if  you  think  high  school  caroline  was  bad,  you  do  not  want  to  mess  with  mama  bear  caroline.   buh  bye.

he was born from a negotiation between a darklighter and a demon. well, more like the demon’s father and the darklighter. the demon was called MEPHISTO. he hungered for power in all shapes and forms, fathering a cambion and trying to use her for his own means. his daughter, a cambion named LUCIANA, had too much of her mother’s heart in her. she was useless to him, at least until he found use for her. as a bargaining chip. the darklighter’s name was JACK. the man had been an ordinary human by the name of jack adler in the 16th century. he was chosen by a demon to become something darker. however, even with this new power granted to him, jack wanted more. and more was something he never stopped reaching for. 

jack wanted nothing more than his own army, and who better to be his soldiers than perfectly groomed children? so he made some. so many, all failures to him. the wrong species, he’d deem them. the wrong upbringing, the wrong strengths, the wrong EVERYTHING. in his hate for waiting, and sickness of failure, he started going after whoever he could. ( so yes, there’s lots of adler babies in the world. none of them to his standards but yeah. )

finally his mindset on a CAMBION. cambion, who were stronger than their demon counterparts. and a darklighter to boot? this child would be PERFECT. jack would even raise them himself, he decided. so after negotiations with mephisto, he took his daughter. he assaulted luciana, more than once. until finally, she got pregnant. 

luciana was at a crossroads. she wasn’t happy. but that wasn’t the child’s fault, none of it was. so, she decided, she would TRY and love them. her level of succession... varied.

a small boy was born, given the name XION. it was not luciana’s choice, but jack silenced any protest. luciana hated the name. it was the name of a blade, not a child. and that was what xion was groomed to be. trained to hurt, to maim, to kill, all before he even reached double digits in age. jack was relentless in his plan. he wanted this child to be PERFECTION. and in jack’s eyes, he was. a measly five-year-old with blood-stained hands. perfection.

xion didn’t know what was right and wrong, he wasn’t taught it. he was taught his to slice with a sword, how to choke someone, the best places to hit, and how to make someone feel pain like no other. he learned violence like one would abcs. it was something ingrained into him. he lacked the knowledge to know killing was bad. no one told him otherwise. luciana had tried to, once. when he was small and lacked understanding. but her voice was small, jack’s was loud. 

death was a normal part of life. to xion, it wasn’t just death that was normal. it was murder. murder he committed without looking back. xion had no idea the weight of a life. he simply obeyed his father’s orders without hesitation and continued on. he ate, he slept, and he obeyed. there was no room for likes, dislikes, wants or needs. he didn’t even know what he was missing. 

he was nine years old when things... changed. luciana had given up on him by then. seeing the child she bore as a monster rather than a little boy. it was easier for her that way, at least for her. it made it a bit harder when xion actually started questioning things. it began with a man, an old man. xion’s first victim to ever beg for his life. many never got the chance, or they’d attempt attacking xion. ( each target was handpicked by jack, of course. ) but this man, an old man. he cried. he begged for his life, he spoke of a child younger than xion, a child that apparently needed him. he was on his knees, shaking violently as tears rolled down his cheeks. begging and begging. and xion... hesitated. this was unlike anything he’d known before. it brought to the surface emotion he didn’t even understand. so, xion let him go. he didn’t understand why, he didn’t understand much of any of it. 

he knew his father was not one to confide in and his grandfather was hardly around as it was. so that left his mother. a woman who always kept her distance, who was cold at times. but never intentionally cruel. at least, not that he realized. he chased her down (no, it wasn’t easy. she didn’t want to be alone with him and he didn’t understand why.) but eventually, he was able to tell her. that he spared a man’s life. that he didn’t know WHY. that there was something wrong with him, obviously. luciana thought differently. instead of the anger he expected for his failure she... she put her arms around him. for a moment, he thought she was attacking him. but instead it was warm. it was a hug, his very first. 

she spoke with such kindness, such softness, such affection--- it was unlike anything xion ever knew. he wanted more of it. ( he’d never been loved before, he didn’t understand it but it felt so nice? ) he saw her smile and it made him feel something else unfamiliar. something... good. he made her smile and it made him feel good. it was kind of wonderous. in her burst of emotion, luciana decided he could be salvaged. he wasn’t a monster, he could be saved. she began going on about how they could leave jack, leave hell, leave everything behind--- even their names! she never liked xion, she proclaimed, she much better liked WILLIAM. with curious eyes, he agreed to her plan. he hungered for more of it, for more love and affection and warmth. 

a week, she had decided. she needed only a week to make preparations and then they would run like a week. a week, and then they were gone. well, luciana had been half right. she was gone in a week. on the day they were set to leave, xion couldn’t find the woman at all. and then there was his father, so smug... xion demanded the truth from him ( it was the first time he demanded anything.) and jack gave in. gloating, even. how luciana had deluded herself into thinking xion was any more than a weapon. how, maybe, she could have gotten away with it. if she hadn’t commissioned the witch to catch that spell. a spell to ensure jack couldn’t have any remaining children, to spare the world. jack hadn’t cared, he had xion. his perfect weapon.

his perfect weapon that attacked jack in that very moment. he dispatched with the boy easily, still only 9. scarring his down his eyes, and keen that he learns his lesson. xion, did not, in fact, learn his lesson. rather, he began to rebel. rebel was hardly even the word for his level of disobedience. refusing to even respond to the name xion ( in his head, he called himself WILLIAM, but jack needn’t know that ). 

3 years went by, with xion intent on escaping his father or fighting him at all opportunities. no longer was he the perfect weapon at jack’s hand, he was something far worse. angry, disobedient, without purpose. he hungered for those warm emotions his mother gave him, and when he couldn’t recreate them he settled on something far more burning. 

by the time the boy was 12 he riddled a number of scars, and unbridled fury. He wanted to find his mom. he was imbued with a goal. make sure his mother was alive, and once she was safe he’d kill his father and grandfather. simple. except… it really wasn’t.

it was nearing his 13th year when mephisto came back into the picture. angered at what jack had done to his daughter ( his possession ), mephisto arranged to set william free and to his mother. and finally, he felt it again, that warmth. his grandfather took him a asylum, a magical asylum. it was where his father had kept luciana and in the three previous years she’d been through what amounted to hell. her appearance alone was a drastic change, she looked so much older. so tired, so broken, exhausted by the simpleness of being. her hair was even whitening. and yet--- when her eyes landed on him she SMILED. 

before william could make a move toward her, there was commotion. hunters, in the asylum. he didn’t know if it was planned or coincidence, but the timing was all too perfect. one moment, his mother was smiling at him. the next, the door flew open. her eyes went black, and then there was a bullet between them. william ATTACKED the hunters, almost like a rabid animal. he was scarred across the face, but ultimately they hesitated to kill a child. rather, they knocked him out. 

he awoke in a cage with a devil’s trap upon it, keeping him locked within. the hunters were wary of the young boy, but ultimately unsure of what to do with him. they needed to decide if he was a menace to society or not. if he could be TRUSTED. so they did... tests. well, they called them tests. others would call them torture. william called them annoying (and to him, who been tortured properly the last three years, they were).

an ally of the hunters eventually came along. a young man by the name of DALLAN BRIGHT. it was around the time the hunters decided william was too dangerous, that he needed to be killed. now, you see, dallan didn’t exactly agree. and dallan (like his mother) was a cambion. so rather than arguing, he turned the hunters to stone and freed the young boy riddled with scars.

learning to trust dallan was something of a journey. he doubted it was permant, that dallan expected to become the guardian of a little hellion. and yet, together they remained. time went on, and something happened akin to bonding. will only thought akin because he had never bonded before. yet there dallan was, watching out for him in a way he had no idea what to do with. it was nice though. strengthened with time and action. when dallan proved time and time again he was trustworthy, and each time it shocked will. until eventually (maybe around the time he was 16) it stopped shocking him. because dallan was dallan and suddenly that meant something. 

due to moving around quite a bit with dallan, will never had a fixture of permanent schooling. rather he acquired data from time to time and did a lot of research on what could be considered normal. he lacks quite a bit of knowledge in some others, where others he’s practically a dictionary. 

APX SEASON 1.

his life changed in the form of a girl named lizzie saltzman. he was fiddling with a toy that made annoying sounds she wasn’t fond of. they talked and for the first time in his whole life, william felt interest, fondness. he was KEEN in getting to know the blonde girl who was undoubtedly one of a kind. the two met again, traded numbers, traded jabs and flirts. it was fun for them both, a spark to light up a whole home. however as she confessed to him her species a siphoner, will realized something vital. he happened to be a mass murderer, a former assassin, with kills over his belt extending past three digits. just because he wasn't that person anymore, didn’t mean lizzie shouldn’t know what she was talking into. he refused for a date until she knew more. then, she did. lizzie was a smart girl, she did her research. the two met at a library, ready to END IT ( before it even began). only for henchman of his father to attack. an altercation occurred, with the ultimate result of will sacrificing himself in order to ensure lizzie’s protection. will had been tortured for weeks, trying to reign him into submission. he had begged lizzie to let him go. she hadn’t listened. instead, she saved him. while he took to the mend, they spoke. they discussed. and their feelings were far too deep to let each other GO. it was beyond chemistry now, they were bonded together in ways they hadn’t with any other. eventually, the two went on their first date ( five guys ), they had their first kiss ( yes, there were fireworks between them ), among other things. they were a normal, healthy couple. at least until an incident occurred. lizzie’s life was put in jeopardy, and she confessed to him her dire situation of the merge. so, will proposed. it was a no brainer to him. if lizzie only had a few years left, a life sentence, if they didn’t find a way out of it— he wanted to spend every moment with her. she accepted, and they are officially ENGAGED. however, they made the decision to postpone the wedding itself for years to come. give them time to find a solution, and not to worry too much about it itself. only that bit has changed recently. done with the threat of jack looming above their heads, the two concocted a plan. a plan that went wayside. jack was banished to a prison world but lizzie DIED. or at least, will thought she did. his grief was painful, but upon learning she was alive--- well, things changed. the two made the decison to stop waiting for the wedding, they were happy and in love. they’re getting MARRIED. 

the next radical change to his life was somehow getting a best friend in the form of landon kirby. inspired by lizzie, will tried to be more social. this resulted in him meeting landon kirby. the guy was a bit nerdy, but later will found out he was too. there was no life changing situation that thrust them together, but rather, much like lizzie and himself— will and landon clicked. they hung out together, had fun, built an ease of a relationship. so much so, that will confessed to landon his past on his own accord. and landon, he accepted will without hesitation. it was landon who found will in the aftermath of lizzie’s ‘death’ and it was landon who talked him off the ledge. the two are kinda bonded for life tbh. 

NOTES / FUN FACTS:

for the longest time, william’s only goal had been to murder his father. that has changed in frequent time, however, if ever given the opportunity it wouldn’t be as easy he dreamed it. in fact, he’d probably struggle with killing jack due to the man being the single constant within his life and having such a power over him, even now.

meta on william halliwell & emotion.

nicole alfaro and arlo park are his half siblings and yep, will has no idea. 

TLDR: william used to be a weapon (assassin) his father jack. hella escaped and was semi adopted by dallan bright ( he is william bright now ). met lizzie saltzman, fell deeply in love, and is a kind of a hot mess but he’s trying.
