WAC human au thoughts
Lain (Lain King) - ex-warehouse nightguard for his father's (the king's) company. Accidentally testified against his father in a trial and got him convicted. Currently works at a convenience store clerk and slowly becoming friends with Canary.
Mariner (Martin McMurphy Jr.) - youtube video essayist and husband to Canary. His teenage mother put him up for adoption as a child and was adopted by Martin McMurphy Sr, a war vet. He's got no intention of looking for his birth mother. A lot of his videos focus on the sea and his fascination with it.
Canary (Canary McMurphy) - WifeHusband of Mariner and cousin to Crane. Has struggled with depression most of her life and finds comfort in Mariner's philosophy on life. Recognized Lain while he was working as a convience store clerk from the news and kindled a friendship with him. Really just wants to make sure he doesn't keep eating whole bags of chips for dinner.
The King (Henry King) - Lain's adopted father and ex-CEO of some kinda mega corporation (think walmart). Is currently in jail for tax evasion, money laundering, and [redacted].
Crane (Charlotte Adler) - Owner of a small butchery that focuses primarily on poultry called The Flock. Is married to Scout but isn't in love with him. Literally picked Condor up bleeding off the streets and now he's working for her at the butchery and also fucking him on the side. Is decently close with her cousin Canary.
Condor (Connor Davenport) - Ex-con turned butcher. Used to be in underground fighting rings and other illegal activities. He "Turned over a new leaf" and now works for Crane. He's fucking her but also playing faux-Sugar daddy for Grouse. His personality is basically the same as canon he just doesn't murder as much (or does he...?)
Grouse (Gregory Spurling) - unemployeed Sugar baby to Condor. Fully head over heels in love with Condor and doesn't care that the other guy sees him as a fun side thing. Still lives in a really shitty apartment and is so greasy because his landlord won't fix his shower. Primarily showers when hes at Condor's or Crane's. Thinks he's way cooler than he is.
Scout (Stephen "Scout" Adler) - War vet which caused him to prematurely grey and Husband to Crane. Does not care for his wife, but doesn't wanna go through the hassle of divorce. He met Wolf when his car broke down in the woods and she helped him get it running again. They hit it off and Scout visits her every other weekend.
Warbler (Wilhelmina "Mina" Columbo) - highschool freshman who just figured out she was a T-girl. Lives with her single mother Molly and her older brother Tom. Molly and Crane and friends so she often spends time at Crane's house. Calls Scout "Uncle Scout." He sometimes takes Warbler and her brother to Wolf's cabin for camping trips when Molly and Crane wanna have a girl's weekend.
Wolf (Winona Wolf) - Scary british woman who lives out in the woods by herself. Very into vulture culture and hunting/fishing scene. Doesn't like visitors on her property but loves Scout so allows him to bring other guests sometimes. Her house is adorned with so many bones and taxidermy animals.
Sycamore (Celia Sycamore) - The King's ex-wife, estranged step mom of Lain, and biological mother of Aster. She's Canary's therapist and helps her work through her depression and such. Gets accidentally reconnected with Lain through Canary this way. She doesn't always make the best choices, but she's trying.
Aster (Aster Sycamore) - son of Sycamore and the King and brother of Lain. He looks up to Lain a lot, even though because of the divorce they didn't get to see each other often. He just graduated highschool and is going to become a doctor.
Coal (Cole Lowell) - Lain's childhood friend and bf and guy who peaked in highschool. He's super in love with Lain and is trying to support him but not doing the best job. Coal can't find stable work himself very often either, leaving him as not the best caretaker. He believes that Lain loves him back completely though.
