#either way a PREFERRED uniform situation would be anyone can choose between a dress and Regular Fit pantsuit

[knittinglizards]

been annoyed several times in ds9 s2 by costumes that look from the side/back like long draped dresses but are in fact skintight jumpsuits with capes attached at the shoulders. annoyed by the jumpsuits in general actually like if there's a scene where Any actress is wearing like normally fitted pants or a dress it's a pleasant surprise

Steve Rogers

[Thank you for helping me celebrate! I hope that you enjoy, and that it was what you were wanting darling!]

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

All of Steve’s experience comes from back in the day, so he is not as well educated on the proper etiquette of today. However once you explain to him what you require, and the importance of aftercare he will make sure you are taken care of. 

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Favorite part of his: His shoulders, for more reasons than the fact that they are strong enough to hold the weight of the world on them. Or being your shoulder to cry on whenever you need it, to being your scratching post as he is slamming into you with unparalleled force. However the main reason he likes them the most is because it’s your favorite place to fall asleep at night.

Favorite part of yours: Your lips, in fact he often finds himself subconsciously sketching them in his sketchbook. Loving the words and sounds that desperately fall from them as you two are making love. The incredible feeling of them on his own lips, or even better around his cock. ;)

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

Inside of you will usually be any yandere’s first choice (including him), but if you are extremely adamant against the idea he would then choose to cum in your mouth. Of course he will make you swallow it as punishment for not letting him cum inside of you.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Packs a pair of your used underwear with him in his go bag if he has to leave you for any length of time. Whether he uses it to get off taking in your scent, or wrapping it around his dick knowing that where he really wanted to be had once touched that very fabric. 

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Yes he does have experience! He is not the virgin everyone seems to think he is. Do you really think that he wouldn’t take someone up on the offer, after getting no attention his entire life? Anyone would be oh so dedicated to helping him make up for lost time, showing him how to properly please a woman. 

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

The “G-Whiz” which is where your legs are up on his shoulders while he is thrusting into you, holding onto your hips where they meet him. The point of this move is that not only is it a deep penetration position, but also continuously hits your G-Spot. Bringing the maximum amount of pleasure for both of you.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

Deep down Steve will always be a goofball, sweetheart, marshmallow of a person. While time has hardened him slightly, it’s mostly on the surface level. The Steve Rogers you get is what is within his heart and soul. So sometimes it might be silly, and sweet where the two of you are enjoying each other's company more than anything else. Others are so needy, desperate, and serious that his main goal is making you fall apart over and over again.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Steve is a well kept man, so this would also mean he is trimmed and kept down there as well. Although his happy trail is something he leaves in all its glory, a solid promise for what is to come.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

Gets very heated in the moment, a lot of emotions coming up to the surface because he just loves you so damn much. More than he has ever loved anyone, and he truly wants to show you how he feels every time the two of you make love. Sometimes he gets lost in the lust and passion between you and it becomes more about the pleasure aspect, however the love is always there.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

Only when he has to be away from you, or you aren’t feeling good. Basically when he can’t have you, he will take care of the job himself.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Everyone knows he has a Captain kink this isn’t news to anyone, he likes feeling like he has authority over you in the bedroom. Maybe a little bit of a complex left over from when he was small and frail, but who is to say? Really likes seeing you try on his uniform though, and attempt to wield his shield. 

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

In the bedroom, because while he isn’t bashful by any means he doesn’t want to tarnish either of your reputations if you were caught somewhere public. 

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

The smell of your perfume, the one you wear very rarely because it was so expensive you can’t justify using it all the time. The one reserved for special occasions, where you both dress to the nines. The one that will be the only thing you are wearing by the end of the evening. ;)

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Anything in public, he doesn’t mind in the privacy of a hotel, or home, but he draws the line at that. Possibly a little bit due to how he was raised honestly, brought up to always defend someone’s honor, especially of those he loved.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

The boy can do more with his tongue than just give motivation to others, he can tear you apart just to build you back up again. However he LOVES to receive, and would never turn you down if you ask him. The sight of you on your knees pleasuring him, teasing him, your tongue swirling purposefully around his shaft making him fall apart like the world no longer exists around him.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Both, he wants to be sweet, but also fuck you into the mattress. It’s truly the best of both worlds, and he knows exactly when you are ready to switch it up and get off. 

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

Ideally he likes to take his time, but if you both only have a limited amount of time and are too horny to function he will make an exception.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

As long as it is within the confines of your bedroom he will try pretty much anything you want him to. Understanding that sex has changed quite a bit from when he was from, wanting to learn anything you are willing to teach him. 

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

Two words: SUPER SOLDIER, he can do it all day ;) (Pun intended) But seriously, he has so much stamina it’s rare that you don’t have trouble walking the next day.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

Steve would be fascinated by toys, especially the technology versus the purpose of them. So he would definitely be down to try various things you suggest, or will pick some out if you show him something he is interested in trying.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Steve doesn’t tease, and is most definitely the type to punish you if you tease him. Get ready for orgasm denial until you are damn close to shouting your safe word. Only then would he bring you over the edge.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Average level of sounds, moans, groans, praising, punishing, dirty talk. Nothing overtly loud to draw attention in any way. 

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

Steve is a Dom, in every sense of the word. So likely your submissiveness is what got him interested in the first place. You better listen to the Captain if you know what is good for you. 

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

Thick, beautiful, uncut cock. Above average length, think Adonis level attractive. 

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Much higher after he met you, before it was hit or miss depending on the moment. Having many distractions, and more important situations to deal with at the time. 

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

Not very fast, he wants to watch you fall asleep on his shoulder. Making sure you are happy, comfortable, and feeling safe before he lets himself join you in slumber.

Trick Or Treat

“Are you seriously going to be the little witch girl from The Nightmare Before Christmas for Halloween? Why not be Blossom for me and Momo?” Karina looked over at Mina with a confused expression. “Well yeah. Denki and Eiji asked me to, you know that. They’re going to be Lock and Barrel with me and Hanta is gonna be Jack. Ask Hagakure to be Blossom for you guys.” Mina just sighed and shook her head from her spot on Karina’s bed. “I can’t ask Hagakure. Her and Ojiro are going as Tarzan and Jane.” Karina gave a small shrug as she pulled on the jacket to her hero uniform. “I don’t know what to tell you then honeybun. Besides, I’m not even going to the party until later. Same for Ochaco. We’re supposed to go on patrol for a couple of hours with Ryukyu.” Mina fell back on the bed with a dramatic sigh. “Ugh, fine. I’ll figure something out.” Mina got up from the bed and walked over to Karina and kissed her cheek gently. “Be safe out there. I’ll see you tonight at Momo’s.” Karina blushed when Mina kissed her cheek, but tried to keep her composure and nodded quickly. “Yeah. I’ll see you tonight.” Mina walked out of Karina’s room and once she heard the door close, Karina let out a light sigh while reaching up and gently touching her cheek where Mina had kissed her. Suddenly her thoughts were interrupted by a knocking on her door that startled her and made her jump. “Come in!” She called out and when her door was opened, Uraraka was standing in the doorway in her hero uniform. “Hey, you ready?” Karina smiled brightly and nodded. “Yeah! I just have to put my boots on real quick.” Uraraka walked in a bit further and waited near the door while Karina pulled out her boots from her closet and hastily started pulling them on. “Hey, are you going to Momo’s party tonight after patrol?” Karina glanced over at her friend and nodded while tying the laces on the first boot she had put on. “Yeah. You’re going with Izuku right?” Karina finished tying the first boot and pulled on the second one, but her eyes remained on her friend in the doorway. “Yeah! Hopefully Deku will be there by the time we do. I know he’s supposed to go with Mirio to take Eri trick-or-treating for a little while.” Karina finished tying the laces on the other boot and stood up straight with a smile on her face. “How sweet. Are you guys doing a couples costume thing too?” Once she saw that Karina was ready, Uraraka moved back towards the door while giving a short nod. “Yeah. He’s going to be Han Solo and I’m going to be Princess Leia.” Karina followed her out of the room and closed her door behind her. “That’s cute.” Uraraka blushed lightly and smiled as she pressed the button for the elevator after walking over together. “Thanks. It was Deku’s idea.” The girls got into the elevator once it arrived, pressed the button for the bottom floor, and patiently waited until the doors opened again once they arrived.

The two girls left the dorm building and made their way out of the school. Along their way they saw other students dressed in different Halloween costumes and even more people dressed up once they left the school grounds. While they made their way to the train station, they made small talk to keep themselves occupied until they got to their destination. While sitting on the train next to each other, Karina’s golden eyes gazed out the window as they went, listening to Uraraka talk about how her meeting Izuku’s mother went. “I think it went really well. I just hope she likes me, you know? I felt like I was such a nervous wreck and Deku being nervous didn’t help either.” Karina turned her attention back to her friend. “Ochaco, I’m sure she likes you. What’s not to like? From what you’ve told me, I don’t think you have anything to worry about. You guys had a nice dinner and got to talk and bond right? I can’t see any reason why she wouldn’t like you. I’m sure she’s just happy that her son is happy.” Uraraka smiled as she listened to Karina, blushing lightly at the kind words. “Thanks Karina. I guess I’m just overthinking things, but it’s hard not to. You’re probably right though. How are things going with Kirishima, by the way?” Now it was Karina’s turn to subtly blush and look down at her lap with a small shrug of her shoulders. “They’re going well I think. We’ve been on three dates so far and every time we have a lot of fun, but we haven’t made anything official yet.” Uraraka raised her brows in surprise. “Three?! You told me about the first date at the movies and the arcade and the second date, I think, when you guys went to the aquarium right? What was the third one?” “Yeah, those were the first two. A few days ago we made each other food and met up in my room and we watched a few movies together. It wasn’t anything fancy, but honestly, I think I preferred that kind of date over the other ones. Not that the others weren’t nice or anything because they were, but we literally just made each other food, wore comfy clothes and relaxed in my room and watched movies.” Uraraka’s eyes lit up as she listened to Karina, the smile on her face growing bigger as Karina went on describing her date with Kirishima. “That’s so sweet! Whose idea was that? That sounds really nice and relaxing.” Karina nodded in agreement with a small smile on her face. “It was Eiji’s idea. We’ve been taking turns on choosing the dates. He chose the movies and I chose the aquarium so it was his turn and he wanted to make me something to eat and just relax with me.” “Well it’s a cute date idea and I might have to steal it for Deku and I if that’s okay.” They both giggled and Karina nodded again. “I don’t mind one bit. I recommend it actually. It was really nice.” The girls continued talking about various things until the train arrived at the station they needed. They exited the train and made their way through the station and towards Ryukyu’s agency. It didn’t take them too long and soon enough they were walking through the doors of the agency building.

As soon as they were through the doors, they were being rushed outside by Ryukyu. “Just in time. There’s a building on fire not far from here. The fire is almost out, but there’s still people who need to be evacuated.” Karina and Uraraka nodded, letting her know they understood the situation. The three of them hurried to the scene and most of the flames were under control since the fire started on the lower levels of the building. However, that meant that people on the higher levels weren’t able to get out, so that was going to be their job. “Alright girls, you two are going in on your own. I’ll be at that window in my dragon form. You girls bring everyone you can to me so we can get them out safely.” The girls both nodded again and Ryukyu activated her quirk, turning into a large dragon beside the building. Karina shifted into a hawk and flew up and through an open window on one of the higher floors while Uraraka used her quirk and made herself float up to the same window and climb inside. Once she was inside, she released her quirk so she would stop floating and Karina shifted back to normal. Quickly they started making their way through the floor they were on. They heard people calling out for help, so they hurried towards them. There was a woman and her son trapped in a room, so Uraraka touched the beam that was blocking the door and made it float and Karina easily moved it out of the way. Once it was safely out of the way, Uraraka released her quirk and they hurried the woman and her son out of the room and back towards the window where Ryukyu was waiting to help them out of the building and down to safety. The girls helped five more people to safety just from that floor before moving to the next floor. When they got to the next floor, they almost didn’t hear anything or anyone so Uraraka was about to head up to the next floor, but Karina held her arm out in front of her to stop her. “Wait, do you hear that?” “Hear what?” Uraraka questioned with a confused look on her face. It was very faint, but Karina knew she could hear soft crying. “This way.” She took off towards the sound and as it got louder and more clear, the girls ran even faster until they found a little girl sitting next to who they assumed was her father who was unconscious on the ground and bleeding from a small gash on his forehead. The girl flinched away as the two of them approached her, so Karina knelt down and held her hand out towards the girl slowly. “Hey, it’s okay. We’re heroes. We’ve come to get you out of here.” The girl looked terrified as she looked back and forth between the two of them. “Y-You’re gonna save me and d-daddy? H-He got hit in t-the head and he w-won’t wake up.” Uraraka nodded her head with a reassuring smile. “Yeah, we’re here to help. We’re going to get you and your daddy to safety, but you have to come with us.” The little girl slowly nodded and reached out and took Karina’s hand that was outstretched towards her and got up from the ground. Uraraka quickly made her way over to the injured man and touched his chest, activating her quirk and making him float so it would be easier to get him to safety. Meanwhile, Karina lifted the little girl up into her arms and they quickly made their way back to Ryukyu so they could get the two to safety. By the time they had reached Ryukyu, other heroes had arrived and were also working on evacuating the rest of the building.

Uraraka and Karina were done with their part now that other heroes had arrived to help and the building was nearly clear. Since they weren’t needed at the moment, Karina and Uraraka stayed with the little girl while her father was being treated by some EMT’s on site. “What’s your favorite animal Yui?” Karina asked the little girl, hoping that if she could turn into the little girls favorite animal, it might make her feel better. “I love puppies!” Karina grinned and shifted into a German Shepard and Yui gasped excitedly as she watched. “Cool!” Yui started petting Karina and Karina just nuzzled her and played with her for a little while. After about ten minutes, someone nearby started calling out towards them. “Excuse me? Can I get your help? My friend got stuck in a tree at the park nearby and we can’t get him down.” Uraraka looked to Ryukyu who gave her a small nod, so she and Karina, who was still in the form of a German Shepard, started to head towards the boy who had caught their attention. The girls ran after the boy who was running towards the park and only started to slow down as they got closer. When Karina started to get close enough to the boy, she caught a familiar scent. When she realized who’s scent it was, she froze and Uraraka realized Karina had stopped, so she stopped and looked back at her. “What’s wrong?” She walked back over to Karina who was standing on the grass on a field near the park and the ‘boy’ turned and gave them a confused look. “Are you guys coming?” Uraraka looked over and smiled. “Yeah of course!” She turned back to Karina who was now growling and walking towards the stranger. “Karina? What’s going on?” The ‘boy’ ran back towards them and when he reached them, he reached out to grab Uraraka’s arm to pull her along, but Karina lunged at the boys arm and snapped her jaws onto it. The boy screamed and yanked his arm away and Karina released it while snarling. “What the hell?! What’s wrong with your dog?!” Uraraka had a look of shock on her face and she was about to rush to the boys aid, but Karina shifted back to normal and held her arm out in front of Uraraka to keep her back. As soon as Karina shifted, the boy stared at her in disbelief. “You’re...” He trailed off and Karina narrowed her golden eyes at him. “I’d know your scent anywhere, Himiko.” Uraraka stared at the two of them in confusion for a moment before she realized what was going on. “Wait, that’s Toga? Then she was...” “Trying to lure you somewhere. Away from the other heroes, but I bet you weren’t expecting your little sister to be here, were you Himi?” Himiko grinned and took a step towards them and Karina gently pushed Uraraka back behind her. “You’re one of them Kari? I’m disappointed. I thought you’d hear about Stainy and agree with him like I do.” Karina glared at her sister and tried to keep herself calm and collected like Shoto had told her to before. However, on the inside she was a nervous wreck. She wasn’t expecting to come into contact with her sister like this so soon after joining U.A. and her heart was racing in her chest. “What are you doing here Himiko? What do you want?” Toga smirked and pulled a knife from her waistband behind her back and twirled it in her hand as she stared at Karina. “I just wanted some alone time with Ochaco. That’s all.” Karina protectively positioned herself in front of Uraraka. “You’ll have to through me first.” Toga laughed and shook her head. “We both know I’m the better fighter Kari. Always have been.” Karina narrowed her eyes. “I’m not the same little girl you left behind all those years ago Himi.” Toga’s brows raised in slight surprise at her sister. “Oh yeah? Let’s see about that.” She grinned and lunged towards Karina.

Karina was prepared for her sister and made sure to stand in front of Uraraka so Himiko wouldn’t be able to reach her. She knew she had to steel her nerves and not go easy on her just because she’s her older sister. Himiko meant to hurt Uraraka and Karina wasn’t about to let that happen. As Himiko rushed at Karina, her ‘disguise’ started to drip away and she was left in a cream colored leotard which was strange. As far as she could remember, whenever she stopped using her quirk or she ran out of the persons blood and went back to her normal self, she was left naked. Honestly she was just glad she wasn’t going to fight her sister naked even though she’d rather not fight her sister at all, but she had a friend she needed to protect. Himiko tackled Karina to the ground and smirked down at her. “Too easy Kari.” “We’re not done yet Himi.” Karina shifted into an anaconda and Himiko tried to get a grip on her, but Karina was quick to wrap her body around her sister. To save herself, Himiko gripped her knife tightly and stabbed Karina with as much force as she could with how tightly Karina was wrapped around her. Karina hissed and her grip loosened slightly, giving Himiko another chance to stab at her sister. Despite having more freedom to move this time, her stab wasn’t nearly as hard as the last one. Karina threw her sister away from her and shifted back to normal, blood oozing from a stab wound on her left shoulder and her right calf. As Himiko was getting to her feet, Karina didn’t give her any time to prepare herself. She shifted into a ram and ran at her, headbutting her and sending her flying back down to the ground. Then she shifted into a tiger, stalking towards Himiko as she got up from the ground yet again. The two sisters were about to charge at each other again, but Himiko saw something behind Karina and then looked back at her sister. “This isn’t over Kari.” Then she ran off into the wooded area behind her and Karina was about to run after her, but Ryukyu’s voice stopped her. “That’s enough Dobu.” Karina turned at the sound of her hero name and shifted back into her normal form and slightly limped towards Ryukyu and Uraraka. Uraraka hurried over to Karina and wrapped an arm around Karina’s waist to help her walk. “You saved me Karina. If you hadn’t been here, I would have blindly went to help her and she would have ambushed me.” Karina just looked down at the ground as they made their way to Ryukyu. “You did well Karina. Let’s get those wounds tended to and then you girls can go enjoy the rest of your Halloween.” The three of them made their way back to the scene that they been helping at before and the entire time Karina was silent, deep in thought about what had just happened. She felt bad that she couldn’t do more. That she couldn’t apprehend her sister and stop her like she had told Katsuki, her parents, and herself that she would. Despite Uraraka’s thanks and appreciation for having been there to save her, they seemed to fall on deaf ears. I let her get away. I could have stopped her. The longer she’s out there, the more time and chances she has to hurt people or worse. Her wounds were being treated as she sat in the back of an unoccupied ambulance and they were both pretty much done being healed when she heard someone say her name. “Karina.” She looked up to see Ryukyu standing in front of her. “Are you alright?” Karina gave a small nod and looked back down at her lap. “I’m fine. They fixed me up.” Ryukyu walked over and sat down beside her, looking down at her as she placed a hand gently on her shoulder. “I wasn’t talking about your wounds. That was your first time seeing your sister again since she left right? Are you okay?” Karina was quiet for a moment before she finally looked up at Ryukyu. “I....I don’t know. I knew eventually I’d have to go up against her at some point. I just didn’t expect it to be so soon.” Karina let out a small sigh and then shook her head. “I’ll be fine. It was just a lot at once.” Ryukyu nodded and smiled down at Karina reassuringly. “I’m sure it was but you held your ground. I’m proud of you. Despite it being your sister, you protected your friend. You did good Dobu.” Ryukyu patted Karina gently on the back then got up and headed towards some officers to talk to them about what happened.

Uraraka walked over to Karina and smiled brightly at her. “Hey, you ready to head over to Yaoyorozu’s? Tsu has my costume there.” Karina got up once she was completely healed up and smiled at Uraraka. “You go ahead Ochaco. I’m gonna stop by the dorms first.” Uraraka frowned slightly. “You sure?” Karina gave her a reassuring smile and nodded her head. “Yeah I’m sure. My costume is back at the dorms anyway.” “If you’re sure. I’ll see you there then.” Uraraka gave Karina a small hug and then walked off. Karina hugged her back and gave her a small reassuring nod before she watched her friend leave. Once she was alone, Karina got up and shifted into a crow, flying towards the school. It took her a little while to fly there but as she arrived at the dorm building, she shifted back to her normal form and walked in. She was back in her own head about what had happened, not really paying attention to anything around her to the point where she didn’t even notice Bakugo watching a horror movie in the common area. She also didn’t notice him when he called out her name. She was just mindlessly walking towards the girls side of the building until she felt someone grab her wrist and she snapped out of her thoughts and turned to see who it was. “What the hell is wrong with you?” Bakugo sounded angry as he stared at her but there was a hint of worry in his tone. “What do you mean?” Bakugo scoffed and rolled his eyes. “Don’t play dumb Red. I called your name three times after you walked in and you just ignored me. So what the hell is your problem? Is this because I’m not going to the stupid party?” Karina stared back at him, clearly confused. “You called my name?” Bakugo stared at her in confusion, his fingers still wrapped around her wrist. “Yeah I called your name. If you didn’t hear me then clearly something’s wrong so what is it?” Karina looked down at the skull in the middle of his black shirt and shrugged slightly. “I was just deep in thought about stuff. That’s all. I’m fine.” Bakugo narrowed his eyes, clearly not believing her. “If that’s the case, look me in the eyes and tell me that and remember you promised not to hide things from me anymore.” Karina bit her bottom lip, mentally cursing at herself for making the promise and him for remembering. “I will be okay.” “You didn’t look me in the eyes. Try again.” Karina let out a frustrated sigh and looked up at him, a subtle blush coming to her cheeks when she realized how close he was standing next to her. “I...” As she stared him in the eyes, she couldn’t help but remember the night he had his nightmare and the night she told him she was going to stop her sister. “I’m sorry...” Filled with guilt, tears filled her eyes but she turned around before he could see them spill down over her cheeks and she tried to pull away and run off. However, his grip on her wrist tightened despite his surprised expression at the sudden sadness on her face and he pulled her back towards him and grabbed her shoulder with his other hand and turned her around to face him. “What the hell is wrong?! Why are you crying and what are you sorry for?!” “Because I lied!” Her words came out angrier and louder than she expected or wanted them to and her eyes dropped from his face down to the ground between them. “I didn’t stop her...” Bakugo just stared at Karina, confusion written across his entire face. “You didn’t stop who?” “Himiko.” Her voice was just above a whisper but Bakugo heard her, but it only made him more confused. “What do you mean you didn’t stop her?” Karina trembled slightly and Bakugo felt it as he was still holding onto her wrist and her shoulder so she wouldn’t try and run off again. “She tried to attack Ochaco tonight and we fought, but I...I wasn’t able to stop her. I wasn’t strong enough or fast enough. I just wasn’t enough.” As hard as she tried to keep herself from crying, the tears still managed to run down her cheeks and drip down onto the floor.

Bakugo stared down at her silently for a moment before he finally spoke. “You’re so damn stupid Red.” Karina’s head snapped up, angry and confused at the same time as to why he would say something like that, but the look on his face wasn’t nearly as harsh as his words had been. The expression on his face was almost sad, but there was also anger to it. His brows were were knitted together and the look in his eyes almost looked as if he was disappointed. It threw her off, so instead of yelling at him, she just stared up at him. “Just because you didn’t stop her tonight doesn’t mean you’re not good enough. No one has caught her yet. Does that make all the Pros out there looking for her and going up against her not good enough? What about us in this class? The ones who have gone up against her. Tsu, Ochaco, Deku? Me? Are we not good enough?” Karina’s eyes went wide slightly and she quickly shook her head. “N-No! That’s not what I’m saying at all!” “Then stop saying it about yourself!” Bakugo snapped back at her. “Just because she’s your sister doesn’t mean she’s your burden or responsibility alone and just because you didn’t stop her tonight doesn’t mean you can’t or won’t in the future. Stop getting so fuckin’ angry at yourself.” Karina stood there staring at the serious expression on his face and listening intently to every word he said. Deep down she knew he was right. It was just hard for her to accept for some reason. “Did you hear me?!” Karina blinked and quickly nodded her head. “Y-Yeah.” She paused and a small smile came to her face and with her free hand that wasn’t being held by Bakugo, she reached up and wiped away her tears. “Thank you Katsuki.” Bakugo rolled his eyes and removed both his hands from her. “Yeah, whatever.” He looked away from her and Karina took the opportunity to quickly lean up and kiss his cheek with a smile. When he turned back to glare at her, she was already darting off towards the elevator. “Gotta go get ready for the party!” He watched her run off and once she was behind the closed elevator doors, he reached up and gently touched his cheek where she had kissed him. He frowned and turned, making his way back to the living area to finish the movie he had been watching. Karina’s heart was racing in her chest as she rode the elevator to the top floor considering she had expected more from him after kissing him on the cheek. She got out of the elevator and hurried over to her room, unlocking and opening the door before walking in. She quickly got ready, taking off her hero uniform and tossing it carelessly onto her bed. She then threw on the dark purple colored dress she had picked out for her costume. The entire dress was dark purple except for the black sheer part at the top that went from the top of her chest and up and also included its short sleeves. The top half of the dress hugged her body, but flared out slightly after the waistline. She slipped on tight purple leggings under the dress and then shin high black and white converse before she putting some make-up on. She didn’t wear a lot of make-up and she didn’t want to go overboard, so she just put black eyeliner on and some dark purple lipstick. Once she was ready, she put her witch hat on, grabbed her Shock mask, and hurried out of her room.  She rode the elevator down to the main area and got out before hurrying out towards the main doors, stopping briefly to look over at Bakugo. “Are you sure you don’t want to come to the party Katsuki?” “I’m trying to watch something.” That was the only response she got and he hadn’t even bothered to look back at her when he said it, his eyes glued to the TV. Karina gave a small shrug and let out a soft sigh before heading out through the doors to make her way to Momo’s house where she was having the party.

When Karina arrived at Momo’s house, her golden eyes went wide at how big the house was. She knew Momo was rich, but she didn’t know she was this rich. She walked through the gates and made her way up towards the house. All of a sudden someone jumped out of one of the bushes along the driveway and lunged at her. “Boo!” Karina screamed and instinctively punched the person in the gut and Kaminari whimpered and fell over. “Why would you do that?!” Kaminari half shouted with an out of breath tone. Sero walked out from behind a tree, laughing hysterically. “She fucked you up dude!” “What do you mean why would I do that?! Why the hell would you jump out at me like that you idiot?!” Karina yelled at Kaminari as she looked down at him. “Karina? Are you okay?” Kirishima was hurrying towards the three of them, confused as to why he had heard her scream. Karina looked over at him and let out a heavy sigh and nodded her head. “Yeah, I’m fine. Denki just thought it would be a good idea to jump out of a bush and scare me.” “She punched me Kiri!” Denki whined as he got up from the ground clutching his stomach where Karina had punched him. “You jumped out of a bush and yelled at me! Of course I punched you!” Sero couldn’t stop laughing and even Kiri chuckled as he approached them all. “Well I think you learned your lesson on sca-” Kiri cut himself off as he got close enough to see Karina’s make-up and her costume, a subtle blush coming to his cheeks. “Wow. You look so pretty Karina.” She looked over at him, a bright blush coloring her cheeks a dark red that matched the long-sleeve Kiri was wearing. “O-Oh. Thanks. You look good to Eiji.” Sero and Denki looked at the two of them and then Sero grinned and threw an arm over Denki’s shoulders before he started to lead him away. “Let’s let the lovebirds have a minute.” The two boys walked away with Kaminari still whining, but once they were out of sight, Kirishima walked closer to Karina and gently took her hand in his. “I’m glad you came.” Karina smiled, but her brows came together in a confused look. “Why wouldn’t I have come?” “Oh, uh, Uraraka said your guys’ mission today was kind of rough and there was a chance that you may have chosen to stay at the dorms.” Karina sighed softly and looked down at her hand in his. “She wasn’t wrong. I almost didn’t come, but Katsuki helped me feel better.” She realized something and she chewed her bottom lip nervously for a moment. “Eiji, I need to talk to you about something.” Kiri looked down at her, confused, but smiled and nodded his head regardless. “Of course. Do you wanna sit down and talk?” Karina nodded and Kiri lead her to the porch steps where they both sat down. Karina was quiet for a moment before she finally looked over at him. “So uh, I’m not really sure how to go about this. I’ve never dated someone before, but ummm....” She trailed off, still unsure on how she wanted to word what she was trying to say. “That’s okay, I haven’t either. Take your time. I’m not going anywhere.” Kiri squeezed her hand gently with a reassuring smile on his face that made her feel a little better. “I just want us to be honest with each other. If we’re going to keep going on dates and stuff, I just want us to be able to go to each other with anything and be honest.” Kiri nodded as he listened to her, letting her know that he was paying attention. “So, with that being said, I kissed Katsuki on the cheek. I didn’t do it for the reasons I kiss you on the cheek. I was just beating myself up about something and Katsuki helped me feel better. I did it as a thank you of sorts. I promise, it didn’t mean the same as when I kiss you on the cheek. I was just crying and ‘thank you’ didn’t seem like enough so I-” Kirishima smiled as he listened to her nervous rambling, but he ended up accidentally interrupting her with words he meant to say in his head but came out of his mouth instead. “You’re beautiful.” Karina stopped talking and blushed brightly as his words registered in her head. “W-What?” When Kiri realized he had said the words out loud, he chuckled nervously and rubbed the back of his neck. “I-I just mean, well, you’re beautiful. Even when you’re rambling. About the Bakugo thing though, it’s okay. I’m not mad or anything.” He was quiet for a second and he removed his hand from the back of his neck and placed it on her thigh gently. “If we’re being honest though, I guess there’s something I should tell you. I uhhh, I have feelings for Bakugo.” Kiri had never really told anyone those words specifically out loud before. Mina and Sero knew because it was obvious during their first year, but he never actually told anyone.

When he told Karina, he wasn’t sure what he was expecting her reaction to be, but it definitely wasn’t the reaction he got. Karina smiled and placed her hand on his that was resting on her thigh and she gave it a gentle squeeze. “I do too.” Kiri looked over at her, eyes wide in surprise. “You do?” Karina nodded. “I do, but he’s stubborn and so focused on being number one. My feelings for you are more though. I don’t want you to think I’m only dating you because Katsuki is too blind to realize my feelings for him. I-I want to keep dating you because I genuinely like you. I really like you Eijiro.” Kirishima couldn’t help the large smile that came to his face as he listened to her and he squeezed her hand in return. “I feel the same way. He hasn’t realized my feelings for him and it’s been two years almost. I’m pretty sure he’s got feelings for you and I both too, by the way he treats us. He’s just so focused on being number one and trying to beat Midoriya for some reason that he’s never acted on any of those feelings. That might just be wishful thinking, but I just never wanted to bring it up and get in his way, you know? Then you walked in the room that day and I couldn’t take my eyes off of you.” Karina’s blush got darker and her heart started racing in her chest. “You’re so sweet Eiji. Thank you for being so honest with me.” “Of course. Should we go inside and get back to the party? Or was there anything else you wanted to say? I don’t want you to think I’m rushing you or anything.” Karina let out a soft sigh and nodded slightly. “The reason I was down earlier and why I may not have come to the party.” She looked at him and he nodded at her encouragingly, making her smile before she continued. “On the mission Ochaco and I did tonight with Ryukyu, my sister showed up. She didn’t know it was me because I wasn’t human when she showed up as a stranger and she tried to lure Ochaco away. When I realized it was her scent, I attacked her before she could get Ochaco any further from the others and when I turned back to normal and she saw it was me...” She frowned and looked down at her lap. “I told Katsuki the reason that I was upset was because I didn’t stop her and that’s true, but there’s more to it than that. When she saw it was me, the look on her face hurt more than anything. She looked at me as if I had betrayed her and then she told me she was disappointed. I-I’ve never turned my back on my sister. Especially after my parents disowned her. I just thought that maybe if she thought she was safe with me, I could convince her to stop what she was doing, but after tonight, I don’t think that’s a possibility.” Kirishima stared at her with a frown, his brows knitted together in obvious concern for her. “I’m gonna be honest, I don’t really know what to say. I know she’s your sister, but she is a villain. This might not be what you want to hear, but I don’t think she’s going to just stop doing what she’s doing just because you’re her sister. If I were you though, I’d talk to All Might. Apparently Shigaraki is related to someone All Might knew. He might know how to handle something like this. I wish I could be more help, but I’ll always try and comfort you if that helps.” He was right in assuming that what he said wasn’t what she wanted to hear, but she knew he was right. Himiko was a murderer and affiliated with the League of Villains. She had been attacking and killing people since she left that day and it was silly of her to think that she’d be able to stop her now if she couldn’t do it all those years ago. Still, she never wanted to turn her back on her sister and now she was worried that that might be exactly what Himiko thinks she’s done now after earlier. “Thank you for being honest Eiji. I appreciate it. I’m just overthinking things, but I’ll definitely talk to All Might. Maybe he’ll have some advice on what to do.” She looked back at Kiri and smiled brightly despite what they had just talked about. “Let’s get to the party, shall we? I’m sure Sero and Denki have mentioned us being alone together and Mina is probably going crazy.” Kiri chuckled and got up and held his hand out to her, helping her up from the steps once she took his hand. After brushing themselves off, the two held hands and made their way into the large mansion to join the rest of their friends at the party.

Given the chance, would you ever go into space? I’ve answered this exact question on a recent survey...but yeah absolutely, as long as it was a free opportunity. Outer space has always interested me so it would be awesome to actually get there. What is your all-time favorite thing to snack on? A local brand of chips called Nova, corndogs, powdered fries, and pizza. I couldn’t choose just one :( Have you ever been jealous of anyone's socks? Not in a toxic way but I have seen socks that made me go “damn, I wish I had that” and it’s usually socks based off of famous paintings like Starry Night, The Scream, etc. Do you match your clothing, or are you careless about fashion? The most I’ll match is colors; I’ll make sure the colors I wear complement each other. But I’m not likely to buy outfits that come in parts, like a matching top and skirt that have their own price tags. It’s an annoying scam that makes you have to pay more money for one outfit lol. Know anyone that has amazing fashion taste? There’s a professor in the communication research department of our college that dresses SOOOO well. She’s never recycled an item of clothing either. She dresses literally exactly like Audrey Hepburn, except with more printed clothes.

Do you know or wish you could knit? I don’t know how to knit and have no desire to learn.

Like earmuffs? They’re alright, I guess? I never have to wear them, so I don’t have much of an opinion. Have you ever had the roof of your mouth sore? Yeah, that one time I ate takoyaki while it was still burning hot and I burned off the skin on the roof my mouth. Do you like orange juice? I’ll drink it if it’s served or if it’s free, but I never crave for it. How many times a day do you brush your teeth, honestly? Once or twice. Do you think anyone really looks good in a jumpsuit? Yeah. Well it’s since become a trend so that’s really all there is to know about people’s preferences nowadays. I have several jumpsuits that I feel really good in. Have a collection of anything? Not anymore. Ever ran out of something that made you very upset? Sometimes my family will bring home leftovers from a really good restaurant. When we finish them all up it bums me out. Biggest lie you ever told? Saying ‘yes’ with a big ol’ smile on my face to my high school guidance counselors whenever they ask if my situation at home is good. Is there a song that makes you want to rock out? For sure. I have my fair share of favorite punk/rock bands. Do you have a religion? No. Believe that there is a point to churches? Not a single one. How do eat Oreos? I just bite into them. Never really got into the whole twist-lick-dunk thing because 1) I don’t want to bite into something I had already licked (even if it’s my own saliva lol), and 2) I can’t consume a lot of milk, anyway. -This or That- Sunsets or sunrises? Sunsets. I’ve seen more sunsets than sunrises with Gabie, so I have good memories of them. I don’t like the idea of getting up early just for a sunrise either. Pennies or dimes? Can’t relate because we don’t use these concepts. Coffee or tea? Coffeeeeeeee. Never been a tea person, actually. Windows or Mac? Mac. I did use Windows for a while, but when it comes down to it I would rather get a Mac. Headphones or speakers? Headphones. You get more of the sound when you listen to music, so the listening experience is a lot better. Loud or soft & quiet? Depends on the context...I like my concerts loud, but I obviously prefer soft and quiet when I’m doing something like going to bed. Odd or even numbers? I don’t really have a preference lol. The cookie dough or the actual cookies? Cookie dough, heh. Speaking of, I recently found a recipe for edible cookie dough but I keep putting it off... Mp3 players or iPod? iPod, mostly because MP3s went out of style like, a decade ago. Calm or rock music? Again, depends on my mood. I’d listen to rock music if I’m pissed off or going through a similar emotion, and I’d prefer hearing calm music when I wanna focus on something, like if I’m doing surveys. Love or lust? Love. I don’t feel lust for the most part. Converse or Vans? Converse. They’re AJ’s favorite and I find them more comfy. The few times I borrowed my sister’s Vans I always got blisters at the end of the day. Lipsyncing or actual singing? I would prefer to lipsync than to let people hear my actual singing voice; but if I’m watching a performance obviously I’d want the performers to be using their real voice. Walking or running? Walking. I find strolls to be relaxing. Dancing or watching others dance? Watching others. Dancers are crazy talented. With friends or by yourself? When it comes down to it, I wanna be with friends. Local concert or a popular band? Popular band. It’s rarer, so I find it more precious. I still support local though! Blond or brown hair? Brown. Idk, I just don’t know a lot of people who are blonde. Red or black? I like both, but I like black slightly more. Blue or green eyes? Green. Having fun or being asleep? Having fuuuun. Carnival or park? Park. I can’t go on rides anyway, so a nice stroll and picnic at the park sounds lovely to me. -Favorites- Favorite thing to buy? Uh food, I guess? I’m super easy to please lol. What do your favorite pair of socks look like? My bacon and eggs one. Kind of tea/coffee? Iced tea/iced caramel macchiato. Way of communication? Face-to-face with Gab, instant messenger/text for everyone else. Time to sleep in to? Midnight is most convenient for me. Band to dance to? PARAMORE. Also helps that their music has turned dance-y too. Favorite gum? Don’t really have one. I’ll chew on any kind/flavor of gum. Type of cereal? Cookie Crisps. Color of hoodie? I don’t mind color, as long as the hoodie is comfortable and keeps me warm. Spice? Cumin smells lovely. Favorite thing to touch/feel? Dogs. Website? Probably Twitter. I’ve been on it the longest and still have no reason to be tired of it. Person in your life? My girlfriend...but also my dogs, if they can count. -Would you Rather- Hire one of your friends, or fire an enemy? Hire one of my friends, as long as they work well without me. Firing an enemy seems a little bit more unprofessional, especially if they objectively perform well. Be a contestant on American Idol or America's Got Talent? I’d go with AGT I guess? I’ve watched some snippets of the show and their judges seem more nice, whereas on American Idol the judges tend to laugh or embarrass you if you do badly. Live in Britain or Australia? Australia. I feel like it’s a more Filipino-friendly country, not that Britain isn’t but yeah. Travel by plane or helicopter? Plane. Aren’t helicopters loud? I think I’d be more relaxed in an airplane. Trade places with a male or a female for a day? I’d rather remain a woman, thanks. Shop at Wal-Mart or Target? I don’t know. I’m honestly curious though – for the Americans survey-takers, what’s the difference between them and what do y’all prefer? Hahaha Read Shakespeare or Artistotle's work? I internally winced at both lol but when it comes down to it, Shakespeare. I do like his work, as long as I’m reading a modern English version. I hate philosophy straight up, so that’s a definite no on Aristotle. Have a regular donut or donut holes? Regular donut. Spell better or smell better? Smell. I can already spell well. Rather be in a tornado or a large earthquake? This is horrible, no one ever *wants* to be stuck in a natural calamity. 80's or 90's music? I like the 80s sound better. Eat a plain peanut butter sandwich or PB & J? Peanut butter sandwich. I tried PB&J before to see what the hype was about, and it just didn’t work for my Asian tastebuds. Wear a uniform every day or go half-naked? Wear a uniform. I wore one in Catholic school for 14 years and survived, so it’d just be the same thing. Would you rather Santa or the Easter Bunny actually exist? Santa. I’m more familiar with him. The Easter Bunny’s not really a part of our culture so I don’t actually know what it’s supposed to do. Apple pie or Pizza pie? Pizzaaaaa. Y’all should know me by now haha. Spend an afternoon cleaning or clean things later? I’d rather work early so I can be satisfied earlier. Flying or X-Ray vision? Flying. Dentist or Doctor? I guess dentist? There’s fewer reasons to be scared when you go to the dentist because the health problems are just limited to your mouth, I guess. Would you rather spread gossip or start a fight? Both sound awful. I’m never one to start a fight and I never initiate gossip myself, though I do take part in it sometimes. Get rid of your favorite shoes or your favorite pants? Pants. I love my shoes. Visit Florida or New York? New York. Myspace or Facebook (or do they both suck)? Facebook. It sucks, but at least the memes there are hilarious as fuck.

OC Interview: Liv Ramsey

a slightly more different interview with Liv XD @captainofthefallen​ open tagged and I didn’t need any much encouragement, so here you go. Gonna put most of it under a cut because it got really long. 

I want to do this with Kira, too, but I couldn’t decide which romance route, and since some of the answers would obviously be different depending, I decided not to. (if someone wants to reply to this and tell me which Bravo Boy you want to see Kira awkwardly pretend she isn’t attracted to, I’ll do this for her as well :))

Rules:

1. Choose an OC.

2. Answer as that OC.

3. Tag 5 people to do the same  I was gonna say I’m not tagging anyone, but I’m gonna actually tag @queen-scribbles​ for one of her Wayhaven Detectives because I love them :3

1. What is your name?

“Raphael.” She grins playfully, as sharp and bright as a blade. She’s fidgeting restlessly with what looks to be a 9mm bullet. You’re unsure if it’s meant to be a threat or if she just needs something to do with her hands. “Okay, not really. I’m Liv. Olivia Ramsey. Charmed, I’m sure.”

2. Do you know why are you named that?

“I don’t know for a fact that I am named that. It’s just what they called me, and I decided to keep it.” She slips the bullet into some hidden pocket in the simple, well-tailored black suit she’s wearing and leans back, picking absently at her chipped blood-red nail polish. “As for Raphael, that’s my rank. Like a callsign, you could say. Or a nickname. I’ve got pretty attached to it in the last month or so.”

3. Are you single or taken?

She scowls. “I never liked to phrase it that way. ‘Taken,’ like I’ve been kidnapped or somethin’.” She pauses, studying your face like she’s trying to figure out how much to tell you. “But I assume you’re askin’ if I’m in a relationship, and I guess I am. Sorta. I’m pretty sure.” 

She takes a deep breath and lets it out in a long sigh. “I am in love with a man who is also in love with me and that I sometimes share a bed with. That I share a lot of things with. He’s also technically my boss, and if anyone knew about it, they’d try to use me to get to him. I’d be tortured and killed and that’s if I’m lucky. So it’s, y’know, a bit complicated.”

She leans forward in her chair suddenly, all the kindness draining from her face. “This stays between us, right, sweetheart? I’m not gonna let you put Gabriel in any danger over this.” She sits back and just like that her smile is back. “And before you ask, no. I haven’t seen his face. Everyone always asks me that. It’s not safe yet. No tellin’ who else might be watching.” Her smile softens into something fond, almost sweet. “I can wait. He’s worth it.”

4. Have any abilities or powers?

“I’m a good sweet-talker. Good at gettin’ people to tell me things or makin’ ‘em listen. I prefer to do it with a smile, but,” she pauses, a shadow of something very dangerous in her pale eyes, “well, sometimes people are stubborn. I got other ways to make ‘em talk, too.”

“Besides that, I move fast, I can be real quiet when I need to… or real loud, if that’s what’s called for instead. Pretty good at patching up wounds. Less good at causing them, but hey, no one’s perfect.” She shrugs one shoulder.

5. Stop being a Mary Sue.

She laughs, loud and joyful and maybe a little unhinged. “Oh, I fuckin’ wish. You know what’d I’d do if I had super powers and shit?” Her laughter quiets, but she keeps chuckling. “Maybe it’s better if you don’t.”

6. What’s your eye color?

“Blue. Not much to say about it, really. Lotsa people have blue eyes.”

7. How about your hair color?

She tugs on a strand of her long hair, currently falling loosely around her shoulders and down her back. “It’s red, right now. I change it sometimes, when the mood strikes, but I like red. I think only Mouse and Gabriel know my natural hair color, and I’d prefer to keep it that way.” She taps her index finger on her thigh, thinking. "Maybe Michael knows. I dunno how much Gabriel tells him. I don't think he'd really care about somethin’ like that. Bigger fish to fry and all."

8. Have any family members?

“I mean, I’ve got the Archangels. Beyond them, no. Don’t need anyone else.”

9. Oh? How about pets? 

She brightens suddenly. “I have a kitten! Her name’s Ruby. Here, I think I have a picture.” She pulls her phone out of her pocket and scrolls through it for a moment before holding it out to you. On the screen is a picture of a kitten, about three or four months old, with fluffy gray fur and curious blue eyes. It seems to be laying on what looks like a black hockey mask. “Raquel’s probably still a little pissed at me for keeping her, but… well, it did kinda save her life.”

10. That’s cool, I guess. Now, tell me something you don’t like?

“I don’t like being shot at,” she says dryly, then she smirks. “I don’t like when people threaten my friends. If I had a dime for every time someone threatened to hurt Mouse in order to get me to talk, I could retire somewhere tropical.” She laughs to herself, one quick, amused ‘ha!’. “I’d like to see them try. He may be little, and quiet, but I don’t recommend underestimating him. It’ll be the last thing you ever do.” 

11. Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?

“I’m an artist. You’ve probably seen some of my work, if you’ve ever been to Manhattan. A couple of them were even done legally.” Her smile is warm, and there’s still laughter in her eyes. “I’m a painter. I mean, when I have time. I got lots of sketchbooks I fill up when I don’t have the time to put things on canvas or concrete. I’m also a pretty good chess player.” Her smile turns a little wicked. “Ask Rook how good I am at it. I wonder if he’s still sore about losin’ to me. I don’t think Bishop’s ever gonna let him live it down.”

12. Have you ever hurt anyone in any way before?

“Are you kidding me?” She laughs. “I have hurt people in any way you can imagine and several ways you probably can’t. I don’t like to do it… well, just between you and me, sometimes I do like it.” She straightens the light blue tie she wears. “But either way, it’s part of the job. And I'm very good at my job.”

13. Ever… killed anyone before?

“Oh yeah. Plenty of them.” She shrugs, like she’s not bothered at all by it, but she won’t quite meet your eyes. “If it makes you feel any better, they were bad people. Probably. Most of them were, at least.” She smiles warmly at you, the tension in her expression gone like it was never there. “Don’t worry, we don’t kill innocents or civilians. Even nosy ones.”

14. What kind of animal are you?

“I dunno. Probably like a coyote or somethin’. One of those animals that can survive in almost any environment. The ones that stubbornly refuse to die.”

15. Name your worst habits?

“I run off at the mouth, especially if I’m scared or hurt or nervous. Not, like--” she pauses, as if looking for the right words “I don’t give away information or anything like that. I’m not a snitch. I just… I’m a bit of a smartass, and a bit of a flirt, and in situations where I should probably not be talking, I’m doin’ one of those instead. Michael says it’ll get me killed one day. Sometimes he says he’ll be the one to do it.” She grins. “He doesn’t mean it. He adores me. Don’t let him tell you different.”

She slouches back in her chair, crossing her legs at the knee. “Besides that, I can’t sit still worth shit and I always forget to do the dishes. Also, don’t hand me any important paperwork because I will draw on it.”

16. Do you look up to anyone at all?

“Nope. Never really had anyone to look up to. Well, maybe…” she pauses, her eyes distant. “Maybe Kaidan. Never had anyone take a chance on me before he did. He’s the reason I’m here now. The reason I’m an Archangel. He’s kinda my… mentor, in a way.” She smiles to herself. “Him and Gabriel. But I can’t exactly say I look up to Gabriel, y’know? That gets into weird territories, when you consider my relationship with him.” 

17. Are you gay, straight or bisexual?

“Are those my only choices? ‘Cause those are not the only sexual orientations out there, sweetheart. I’m pansexual.” She spreads her arms out in an inviting way. “I’m an equal opportunity gal.” 

18. Did you attend school?

“Sure. New York public schools. I even graduated. For Mouse, more than for myself. If I dropped out, he woulda done so too, and I didn’t want to drag him down with me.” She looks down, sadness in her eyes for a moment. “Guess I did anyway. Some best friend I turned out to be.” 

19. Ever want to marry and have kids one day?

“I don’t really care one way or the other about marriage, but if I ever have kids they’ll be adopted. I wanna give some kid the kind of home, the kind of family, that I never got to have. Unconditional and all that shit.”

20. Do you have any fangirls/fanboys?

“Obviously.” She tosses her hair over her shoulder dramatically, then laughs. “Nah. If people know who I am, I’m not doin’ my job right, and if people are out there bein’ fans of the Archangels, then it’s Michael and Gabriel they’re swooning over, not Raphael.”

21. What are you most afraid of? 

Her face goes abruptly blank and cold. “Being abandoned. Being alone. I’ve been there before… before Mouse, before the Archangels. I’ll burn this whole fuckin’ city to the ground if that’s what it takes to keep them safe. I’m not ever going back to that. Not ever.”

22. What do you usually wear?

“Usually?” She looks down at herself. “Oh, you’re askin’ about the suit! It’s standard Archangel uniform. Black suit, blue tie, mask.” She pulls a hockey mask out of the inside pocket of her suit jacket. It’s black and has what appears to be a cascade of red roses down the right side of it. “You like it? I designed it myself.”

She puts the mask back away. “When I’m not working, I like layers. Tank tops and flannel shirts and leather jackets. Skinny jeans or leggings or skirts and tights. Dresses short enough to stop traffic. Red and pink and yellow and black. A bit of Archangel blue sometimes, too, these days.” She tugs on her light blue tie again. “Rook told me I looked like a ‘punk rock supermodel’ once. Nicest thing he’s ever said to me.”

23. What’s one food that tempts you?

“Gabriel bakes the best fuckin’ cookies you will ever eat. There is a small chance I fell for those cookies before I fell for him.”

24. Am I annoying you?

She waves a dismissive hand. “Nah. I’ll take any excuse to talk about myself.”

25. Well, it’s still not over!

She smiles that knife-sharp grin again and runs her tongue over her bottom lip. “So when do I get to ask you questions, sweetheart? I’ll make it worth your time.” 

26. What class are you (low/middle/high)?

She tilts her head to one side thoughtfully. “Y’know, I have no fuckin’ idea. I live in a pretty swanky apartment right now, but I don’t own it. I have a decent amount of money squirreled away, but most of it’s stolen. All of the above, I guess. I’m a homeless kid who lives in the penthouse suite.”

27. How many friends do you have?

She stops to think for a second. “Fourteen.” She looks surprised and clearly is counting them again in her head. “Wow. Fourteen. Huh. You know, two months ago the answer to that question was ‘one.’ Even if we’re just talking close friends, the answer’s still eight. I’m not… I got no idea what to say to that.”

28. What are your thoughts on pie?

“I prefer cake, but I don’t mind pie either. Just don’t ask me to bake one. And if I do, I don’t recommend you eat it.”

29. Favorite drink?

“Tea with milk and sugar. Pretty sure it’s Mouse’s fault. That’s how it works, right? Blame your tea-drinking habits on your British friends.” She laughs lightly. “I’ve got too many fuckin’ British friends.”

30. What’s your favorite place?

“I like Father Murdock’s. I like the juxtaposition of it all. Church upstairs, black market downstairs. Nuns carrying AKs. It’s just ridiculous enough that it almost doesn’t seem real.” She sighs and her smile slips a little. “Favorite place used to be the Mill, but I guess we can’t go back there now. Gotta find a new base of operations.”

31. Are you interested in anyone?

“Why, you hopin' you got a shot?” She looks you over slowly, a playful smirk spreading across her face. “I mean, you've already asked me if I was 'taken'. Since I am, it obviously means I'm interested in someone. Or are you asking if I'm interested in someone else?” 

She stops to really think about it. “These days, I'm surrounded by a lot of gorgeous, interesting people. People that, in a different situation, I’d probably be real interested in. But if Gabriel's in the room, the rest of the world may as well not exist. He’s magnetic. It doesn’t make sense for a man to be so goddamn attractive when the only part of him not covered is his eyes and even that’s only sometimes, but I know I’m not the only one drawn to him. I’m just the lucky one.” She chuckles, and that fond smile is back, the same one she wore last time she spoke about Gabriel. “I always thought that 'I only have eyes for you' thing was a bit sappy, but damn if it isn't true.”

32. That was a stupid question…

“Nah, don’t worry about it.” She waves it off like she’s already forgotten about it, then smirks at you again. “If you’re actually interested, though, I got a few friends I could introduce you to. We can talk about it later.”

33. Would you rather swim in a lake or the ocean?

“Ugh. I hate swimming. I’m not really a, uh, outdoorsy type.” She taps a fingernail against her bottom lip, thinking. “I guess a lake, if I had to choose. Less sharks and shit.”

34. What’s your type?

“You sure are askin’ a lot of questions about my love life, sweetheart. I guess it’s lucky for you that you caught me at a time I actually have one.” She chuckles and sits back in her chair, staring at the ceiling while she thinks. 

She’s quiet for a long moment, then leans forward suddenly, her pale blue eyes intense. “You know what’s the most attractive thing a person can have, regardless of gender? Competence. There is nothing sexier than someone who knows their shit and does it well. That confidence someone has when they’re really good at something and they know it.”

She sits back again, some of that intensity draining away. “I’ve never had anything specific physically that draws my attention. Lucky for Gabriel, I guess, since I was already long in love with him before I really saw any of him. He’s got real good shoulders, though, y’know? Broad. Strong. Stubborn.” She laughs at the last one.

35. Any fetishes?

“Dunno. Most of my sexual experience has been pretty vanilla so far. Might be fun to find out.”

36. Camping or outdoors?

“No thanks. I did enough sleepin’ outside when I was homeless for a few months. No way in hell I'm sleeping outside on purpose. I’d prefer a roof over my head, if it’s all the same to you.”

She waits for you to ask another question, but when you don’t she just nods. “All right, good talk. This was fun.” She stands from her chair and straightens out her suit, then offers you a hand to shake. Her handshake is strong and confident, her skin warm. “You need to find me again, go see Father Murdock. Tell Greg you’re lookin’ for Raphael. He knows how to get in touch.” She walks away, steps fast and purposeful and almost silent, and you follow her outside.

She pulls a black ski mask out of her pocket and puts it on, covering her face except for her eyes and mouth and tucking her hair underneath it, then pulls that hockey mask out again and puts it on over it. She takes out a pair of black leather gloves and pulls them on too. When she looks back at you, there’s no sign of the woman underneath except for the pale blue eyes; if you hadn’t just been talking with her, you’re not sure you’d even know she was a woman, the suit and masks erasing any signs of personality or identity.

She waves jovially. “If I were you, I’d find someplace to lay low for a little while,” she says, and even her voice is different: colder, harder, her slight New York accent gone like it had never been there. “It’s not safe around here at this time of day. All kinds of dangerous people around.”

As if on cue, a black SUV pulls up nearby. The passenger-side front window rolls down and the back door opens. Inside, there are four other people wearing the same black suit and blue tie, their faces all covered by hockey masks. There seems to be no theme or color scheme among the masks. You wonder if any of them are the Gabriel that she spoke so highly of.

“Heya, boss,” a friendly, Welsh-accented voice calls from the front passenger seat. “You get what ya needed?”

Liv doesn’t reply, instead just pulling herself smoothly into the open seat in the back next to one very large man in body armor with a shotgun in his lap and one very small man with an open laptop in his. They both nod at her as she sits down, and she puts a friendly hand on the smaller man’s shoulder. He must be Mouse, you assume.

The driver calls out to you, and he also has a Welsh accent. “Might be best to forget you ever saw us.”

“And ya best hope you never see us again,” says the front passenger. Her accent and cadence of speaking are so similar to the driver’s you’re pretty sure they’re related.

Liv nods to you once more, then closes her door. You see the large man hand her what you’re pretty sure is some type of submachine gun. The driver gives you a jaunty salute and then they drive away. 

You stare into the space where the SUV had been for a long moment. You should probably ask your boss for a raise; there’s no way you’re getting paid enough to interview Archangels.

MUSE: Connor [RK800 #313-248-317-51]

BASICS

▸ IS YOUR MUSE TALL/SHORT/AVERAGE? Not that tall, but certainly not short. 6′0”.

▸ ARE THEY OKAY WITH THEIR HEIGHT?  He has no qualms about it, but he isn’t fond of people being much taller than him.

▸ WHAT’S THEIR HAIR LIKE?  

While his hair is synthetic, it is thick and soft to the touch. Dark brown in colour and usually neatly combed apart from a pesky curl designed to make him look more approachable.

▸ DO THEY SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON THEIR HAIR/WITH THEIR GROOMING?

Not really. While he is somewhat vain and cares about his appearance, he doesn’t spend much time styling his hair. Once he has styled it at the start of the day it usually stays in place, but he will fix it if it becomes unkempt for any reason.

▸ DOES YOUR MUSE CARE ABOUT THEIR APPEARANCE?

He would like to say ‘no,’ as it has no affect on his job or who he is, but Connor is somewhat vain. He tries to keep himself immaculately dressed and as a result is often seen adjusting his tie, straightening out his clothing, or throwing a glance at his reflection to make sure nothing is out of place when he passes by. While stated in the previous question that he doesn’t spend much time on his hair, he is more aware of his clothing, especially once he begins wearing things other than the uniform issued by CyberLife. He enjoys looking sharp.

▸ DOES YOUR MUSE CARE ABOUT WHAT OTHERS THINK ABOUT THEM? 

Once again, he would like to say ‘no’ but that’s horribly, horribly false. Connor has developed a fear of disappointing those around him and worries about being replaced, either on the job or in a relationship. While he is upset by expressed distaste for his personality, he seeks validation for his actions more so than the prior.

 PREFERENCES

▸ INDOORS OR OUTDOORS?   He spends more time indoors, but enjoys getting out into the world.

▸ RAIN OR SUNSHINE?   No real preference, but he does enjoy the atmosphere listening to the rain outside creates.

▸ FOREST OR BEACH?   Forest for sure.

▸ PRECIOUS METALS OR GEMS? Metals.

▸ FLOWERS OR PERFUMES? Flowers.

▸ PERSONALITY OR APPEARANCE?  He appreciates aesthetics, but is more concerned with somebody’s attitude than their appearance.

▸ BEING ALONE OR BEING IN A CROWD?  Definitely alone. He enjoys working with other people and spending time with people he cares about, but he is not one for crowds.

▸ ORDER OR ANARCHY?   Order. Connor is at ease when there are rules and regulations put in place that he can follow.

▸ PAINFUL TRUTHS OR WHITE LIES?  Painful truths. While Connor is guilty of lying to others, he would much rather receive a painful truth than have somebody hide something from him.

▸ SCIENCE OR MAGIC? Science.

▸ PEACE OR CONFLICT? Peace. Connor has enough conflict to deal with. He just wants a break.

▸ NIGHT OR DAY?   Night.

▸ DUSK OR DAWN?   Dusk.

▸ WARMTH OR COLD?   No true preference. He doesn’t like it being too much of either. The cold/stormy weather brings up bad memories which he is trying to overwrite, but he does find winter aesthetically pleasing.

▸ MANY ACQUAINTANCES OR A FEW CLOSE FRIENDS?   Few close friends. Connor is dependant on his network of them.

▸ READING OR PLAYING A GAME?   Reading.

 QUESTIONNAIRE

▸ WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR MUSE’S BAD HABITS?  

Overworking is the first to come to mind, but that’s a given. He is constantly taking advantage of the systems he’s been equipped with to spend as much time dedicated to his work or helping those he cares about as he possibly can, often at the expense of himself. Other bad habits include doubting himself, doubting others, and a tendency to overthink things, big or small.

▸ HAS YOUR MUSE LOST ANYONE CLOSE TO THEM? HOW HAS IT AFFECTED THEM?

This is verse determinant, however, for the time being Connor has not lost anybody close to him. If/when it happens, it won’t be pretty. He often worries about those he cares about, particularly regarding humans and their limited mortality, but he prefers to keep this thought catalogued for when it is necessary to think about.

▸ WHAT ARE SOME FOND MEMORIES YOUR MUSE HAS?

There will certainly be more of these to come Connor gets the chance to interact more, but for now, here are some of his most valued:

- The first time he made a breakthrough and got Hank to smile at him

- Being trusted by Markus to infiltrate CyberLife Tower

- Accomplishing his first self-decreed mission

- Having his first ‘heart-to-heart’ with Hank during their reunion after the revolution

- He remembers many ‘trivial’ moments such as decorating his desk, becoming comfortable enough to choose clothing of his own, and choosing not to do minor things as fond firsts

- Meeting Alexa and finding a confidant in her

((This is my way of saying bother Connor more! He wants to love y’all. Give this boy some happy memories.))

 ▸ IS IT EASY FOR YOUR MUSE TO KILL?  

Physically? Yes. He has literally been designed to kill with machine-like precision and has done so on numerous occasions. However, he has had a lot of guilt regarding how easily he could bring himself to take a life. He is still capable of killing if the situation requires it, but there is more thought put into whether he will pull the trigger.

▸ WHAT’S IT LIKE WHEN YOUR MUSE BREAKS DOWN?

Connor breaks down quietly; gets way too far into his own head. He keeps his worries from others, dealing with his conflict on his own until it is forced out of him. In particularly traumatic instances, he’ll shut himself down emotionally, let his systems take over, and try to level himself out. But if you catch him in the moment, it certainly won’t be as graceful. Connor can only keep things bottled up for so long. They’re bound to boil over eventually.

▸ IS YOUR MUSE CAPABLE OF TRUSTING SOMEONE WITH THEIR LIFE?

Not often. He’s trusting by default, but once you give him a reason not to, he’ll keep a close eye on you. He trusts those that he loves unconditionally, but would not want to trust anybody with his life due to the guilt it could potentially put upon them if anything went wrong.

▸ WHAT’S YOUR MUSE LIKE WHEN THEY’RE IN LOVE?

Connor hasn’t figured this out yet. He’s still struggling to figure out who he is and wouldn’t want to place that kind of burden on top of a relationship. He is capable of love, and often times has blurred the lines between platonic and romantic, but he struggles to put a label on it for the time being. However, for those he does love, regardless of the level of romance, he loves intimately, and he would go to great lengths to ensure their happiness and see to it that he was capable of being whatever they need him to be.

BASIC INFORMATION

FULL NAME: Reid Lois Garwin PRONUNCIATION: ˌ rid ˈloʊəs ˈgɑrwɪn MEANING: Transferred use of the surname derived from the Scottish reid (red). The name arose as a nickname for someone with red hair or a red, ruddy complexion. REASONING: While I don’t know how much thought was put into his name, I take Reid’s name as being more connected to the metaphors and stereotypes usually associated with red haired people. In a way, he is also stereotyped this way. He is shown as bold and quick tempered and wild, and bratty, and brash, and while he can be all of those things it’s more of a first impression of him, the surface level, which I think works perfectly from what people think red haired people are like to what they really are like. Additionally Garwin means ‘rough’ which adds to that idea of his character. NICKNAME(S): Re, mostly by Tyler. And you know, troublemaker. PREFERRED NAME(S): Reid. BIRTH DATE: November 12th, 1990. AGE: 16-17 (canon), 19-24 (other verses) ZODIAC: Scorpio. GENDER: Male. PRONOUNS: He/Him. ROMANTIC ORIENTATION: Biromantic. SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Bisexual. NATIONALITY: American. ETHNICITY: Caucasian. CURRENT LOCATION: Ipswich MA, USA (canon). New York City, NY (some verses), Paris FR (some verses) LIVING CONDITIONS: Boarding school dorm (canon), though his mother lives in town, she is constantly traveling and so Reid spends most of his time at Spenser Academy, sometimes choosing to sleep in his own empty house in the colony. TITLE(S): One fourth of the Covenant of Ipswhich. Water elemental. Troublemaker. Part of Spenser’s swim team. 

↬  INTRODUCTION VIDEO

BACKGROUND

BIRTH PLACE: Home birth, at the shared coven property, assisted by coven midwives. His mother was not happy about it. But it is the custom of the coven when it comes to the first borns of the line. HOMETOWN:  Ipswhich, MA. SOCIAL CLASS: Reid comes from an old family, part of the witches of Salem, who ran from the trials, and settled the colony of Ipswhich. As founders, they became important, and the whole coven turned out well off. To add to it, his mother also comes from a good family, mix of English and French, and she went on to be a big name in fashion business, having an eye for discovering new designers and the charm to acquire the best deals, she makes very good bank. So all in all, money is not something that really concerns him, as it doesn’t any of the boys. He was very well bred and raised, and what he does that clashes with it, he does so of his own will, on purpose. Which means, when he has to he knows how to behave socially perfectly, and chooses instead to dress down, and talk in slang, and act up. EDUCATION LEVEL: Complete High School at boarding school.  Reid was brought up in Spenser Academy since he first entered school, at age 5. At Spenser he took things such as French, piano lessons, and of course made it into the swim team. He tried joining several different other sports teams but nothing truly stuck like swimming. He always hated the rules and the uniforms and all that. More and more as he grew up and it all started to suffocate him. He loves to read, and does so frequently, but hates traditional studying and school in general. He doesn’t like anyone to know he can play the piano, so only the other three boys know this about him. He learned French because his mother has some French in her family, along with English, and often took him along to France and England for business or family trips.  FATHER: Joseph Garwin. MOTHER: Meredith Garwin. SIBLING(S): N/A BIRTH ORDER: N/A CHILDREN: N/A PET(S): N/A, he is a cat person though. OTHER IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIPS: [1] Caleb Danvers, Pogue Parry, and Tyler Simms. The four boys grew up together, and they represent the four families that made a covenant of silence, promising to keep their powers and magic as a whole in secrecy, after escaping the Salem which trials, and settling into a new land. They are each the eldest son of each of those families, and as such, are given the Power — which is to say that once they turned 13, they first received raw magic, into them, and at their 18th birthday, they will each Ascend and get the full share of their Power, become one with it, which will be with them until they die. Because of this, each generation is very close and dependent on one another to keep the others stable. Caleb as the eldest of the four, and the son of the man who caused the derail of the last generation, feels responsible for all of them, is the mom friend, and as such buts heads with Reid nearly constantly. They are usually at odds, since Caleb is quick to get annoyed and Reid can’t resist baiting him, however there is a point where they both meet, in their playfulness and boldness, and rise up together in shenanigans and dares. And at the end of the day, whenever either of them really needs someone, the other will always be there to help. “You know I got your back / I know you do.” Caleb represents the element of Fire, opposite to Reid’s water. Pogue is more the fun big brother friend, who also looks out for the others, but in a more relaxed, and somewhat irresponsible way. He joins in on the fun, and often wins out over them, he passes an air of more security and experience, and is usually one riled up by jealousy. Because of that, Pogue and Reid have a very companionable relationship, with Pogue usually being the one to try and keep the peace in the group, without bossing any of them around. He’s the one Reid shares his risque and bad behavior experiences with, he’s the one he goes to when he needs advice but can’t tell any of the others. They have a more level headed bond, and there are some things Reid’s done that only Pogue knows. Pogue embodies the element of Air, which is why he and Reid are so compatible with one another. Tyler is the one Reid is closest with in the world. When they were kids, Tyler being the youngest, due to his parents pulling away from the coven before his birth, was the easiest to pick on, and Reid would prank him a lot. Slowly, though, that turned into fondness, and later on protectiveness. Reid is fiercely protective of Tyler, and despite his blase facade, he will tear apart anyone who comes close to hurting the boy. Hanging out with Tyler is easy, because though they are very different people, Tyler never judges him. Tyler is often also very impressed by him, and his deeds, which Reid admittedly enjoys, specially because, deep down, he’s the one to admire him, for being as good as he is. Tyler is a good person. Studious and talented, and correct, and Reid both admires it, and enjoys it when he’s able to make him tag along with his crazy plans. Tyler is his best friend. And he is also the person with whom Reid is the most affectionate. They often just lie together in bed and read, or go walk around together in town, and get up to trouble sometimes. Tyler knows who he is better than anyone, and reads him more easily than the others. Tyler represents the element of Earth, who grounds him. IMPORTANT EVENTS: Just before Reid was born, the past generation’s coven started to derail. Caleb’s father was quickly becoming an addict to using the Power, which consumes the weak human body each time it’s used, and because of it he was causing an imbalance in the covenant. The others, unable to watch him consume his own life, and basically slowly kill himself, and after realizing there was no helping him, each reacted in their own way. The tension in their bond, caused the cycle of their births to be stretched, which means Reid was born almost a whole year after Caleb, and Tyler was born almost two whole years after the eldest. It was also because of the break int he coven that when Reid turned seven, his father couldn’t stand to stick around watching William Danvers decay anymore, and after many fights with Reid’s mother as he grew up, they decided to get a divorce, and Joseph left Ipswhich never to be seen again. From time to time, Reid gets a birthday card with cash in it, and some words, but he throws them away, and his father never attempted to have any further contact with him. When Reid turned thirteen, as said above, he got his first share of Power. The five years between thirteen and eighteen are considered test or trial years. It’s when the boys first get to experience magic, and learn what their powers can do, but not still in full capacity. Because it’s just a small portion of the real Power they will get at eighteen, the magic doesn’t decay them yet, and they have to learn to construct their own will power and backbone to restrain their use of it on their own, so that after they turn eighteen, they have learned to resist temptation before it’s a problem and don’t become addicted to it before they even start. This is a big source of his fighting with Caleb, since they have very different views on control and restraint, and Caleb has the burden of his father’s mistakes on his shoulders, which often lead him to judging Reid more harshly than he would otherwise. Reid also often will use more Power around Caleb, out of spite, than he usually does when they’re not together. Secretly though, he has a huge fear of everything they say about him being true, and him becoming the next weak link of this new generation, which is why he develop a finer and more layered control than the others, learning to use just the exact amount of Power needed for every given situation.  At the start of their senior year, just before Caleb turns 18 and ascends (becomes one with Power), a series of haunting events lead them to finding out the line of the fifth family, which used to be a part of the coven and they thought dead, has not ended. They find that descendants of that line have been growing up and decaying young and having sons and passing the Power along, outside the coven, without support or even knowledge of what it’s happening to them. Because of it, Chase Collins, their generation’s fifth member, comes after them thinking he’s found the answer to the consumption of the body by acquiring more Power. Since ascending means becoming one with it, he blackmails Caleb into giving him his full share, after he gets it, and therefore sacrificing himself in return for the safety of the rest of the coven. After a fight, William ends up giving up his own Power to his son, and Caleb defeats Chase with it. When Chase first starts acting up, though, Caleb blames Reid for it, and they spend a lot of time fighting over it. Reid also begs for the chance to help in the fight, but after Chase baits and hurt Pogue, Caleb refuses to let him, and Reid still resents him that, knowing well that Caleb could have easily died and left them behind.  MY REID GARWIN HEADCANONS COMPILATION ARRESTS?:No. Not because the cops didn’t try, but when Reid is in trouble he uses to get out of it. Unless he has been on a masochist roll and decides to punish himself allowing himself to get arrested, which would be verse dependent.  PRISON TIME?: No.

OCCUPATION & INCOME

PRIMARY SOURCE OF INCOME: Trust fund given to him by his grandparents, after his father left.  SECONDARY SOURCE OF INCOME: Whatever job he gets after High School while he’s trying to figure out his life. TERTIARY SOURCE(S) OF INCOME: He will eventually get inheritances from his mother’s side of the family.  APPROXIMATE AMOUNT PER YEAR: Unknown. CONTENT WITH THEIR JOB (OR LACK THERE OF)?: Pretty much. Reid is not the university type, and after High School he spends some time just trying to figure himself out. He gets jobs here and there, and might even follow one of the boys to college, but he’s not decided on a career and he is in no rush to. PAST JOB(S): N/A SPENDING HABITS: Reid is not a big spender. It is true that his rebel clothes are all mostly designer, but that’s pretty much it. He is even the only of the four boys who doesn’t have his own car, since his mother sees it as absurd and he doesn’t really have need to push on the matter. He mostly eats fast food, and or at Spenser, and his hobby can be sated by trips to used books stores, which can’t be considered expensive. MOST VALUABLE POSSESSION: Probably something Tyler gave him a long time ago, like a pendant or a ring / bracelet or something. 

SKILLS & ABILITIES

PHYSICAL STRENGTH: Good physical strength, from years of swimming. OFFENSE: Reid is almost always ready to fight and go at it if he needs to. Specially to protect any of the boys, like when he stops a fight from escalating between Aaron and Caleb by making a friend of the former start puking. He is fast, a quick thinker, thinks outside the box, and strikes preemptively. He would be fairly unpredictable in a fight which is a good trait to have. Offense is the best defense. Reid uses his Power in his offense, and his power is connected to his elemental, water, which means his magic moves and reacts in a similar manner. DEFENSE: Reid is also extremely guarded, and always defensive. He has a tendency to just assume everyone expects the worst of him (which they usually do) and so his logic is what is the good in trying to explain things, or tell his side of the story if no one will believe him? And so walls up, attack mode he goes. SPEED: Reid is fast and slim, but nothing out of the ordinary for a swimmer. INTELLIGENCE: Highly intelligent and also intuitive, though it might not look like it. Reid is so good at getting to people because he’s very very good at reading them. He knows exactly what pushes them, or how to make them fall for something, or what is pissing someone off etc. Like his element (water) he runs deep, and as a child of a single mother, he has learned to anticipate what people are thinking and or feeling. The thing is he doesn’t always use it for good, but he does have high emotional intelligence. That’s why he can read complex books for hours, but systemic evaluation fails him and school bores him. He’s smart in out of the box ways. ACCURACY: Because Reid grew up hearing that he was the weak link in the group, the one more prone to becoming and addict and ruining everything, he spent countless hours training his control over power, and has the most refinement of all the boys. He never uses more than he has to to do exactly what he wants. Which is show by how the explosion of magic in his eyes is always very controlled, and only ever turns black when he absolutely needs full power (once when they all use it to levitate the car whilst running from the police, and another when he is fighting Caleb who is the most powerful of all of them). He has incredible focus and measure. As water is very versatile, so is Reid and his fighting technique. AGILITY: Reid has agile thinking, always understanding or seeing things before everyone else in the room. STAMINA: Reid has good stamina due to swimming and the Power. TEAMWORK: Reid can work in a team when he wants to, and has done it his whole life growing up with the boys. They studied together, learned about power together practiced together, went on vacations together, had sleep overs etc etc. He works in a team all the time, but he can get in moods where he needs to be alone. He’s definitely the most independent of the boys in that sense, because he goes out and does his own things, “had things to do”, while the others tend to move more in a pack, or with family. It depends on his will. TALENTS: Playing the piano, swimming. SHORTCOMINGS: Focusing for long periods of time, Cooking, Cleaning, Following Orders, Standardized Tests, Impulsive, Defensive, Pushes people away.  LANGUAGE(S) SPOKEN: English (native), French (not totally fluent). DRIVE?: Yes. JUMP-STAR A CAR?: Yes. More or less. With Power. CHANGE A FLAT TIRE?: Nope. RIDE A BICYCLE?: Yes. He owns one. SWIM?: Yes. Very well. PLAY AN INSTRUMENT?:  Yes, the piano. PLAY CHESS?: Yes. BRAID HAIR?: No. TIE A TIE?: Yes. PICK A LOCK?: Doesn’t have to. Power.

EMOTIONAL STABILITY: Reid is usually pretty relaxed, but there are a few key things, or people (name Caleb) who get under his skin and make him feisty and irritable. He is prone to jealousy due to his fear of being replaced, and not being good enough for the people he loves in the first place, so that can mess with him. Other than that he usually doesn’t care about what people think of him, or what they say. He does as he wants, and only cares about what people say of his friends.
