In this universe, there are two types of people: normal people, who are destined to have normal careers and normal lives, and gifted people, who are destined to have adventures, and what are considered 'adventure' careers, things that range from things like dragon riders and knights to pirates - anything that we would consider part of a fairy tale in our universe.

Abraham Padgett Sharp was a special kind of gifted. He had three powers: the ability to speak to animals, the ability to breathe underwater, and the equivalent of a built-in GPS system. All of these making him the perfect candidate to be a pirate, ignoring the fact that he's also clumsy, weak, and would be more at home if he were a college professor.

your character was a star pirate, with the ability to control an entire army that couldn't be fought: he could control spirits, both inside of the living and the spirits of the dead. One night, his crew took everything from him, except for his ship, and disappeared. Outraged, he decided to track them all down and get his revenge. The only problem being his awful sense of direction, his one flaw. After hearing tales of Abraham, the perfect navigator, your character decided that he knew how he was going to find his former crew. He was going to kidnap Abraham.

Casey Prasad had always been open about the fact that they didn't want to conform to any specific gender roles. Fortunately for them, they had been born into the type of family who was very accepting of that. They had never been forced to believe anything they didn't want to believe, and when they were fourteen, their family moved so he could attend a progressive school where he would be able to express himself freely. During his freshman year, he discovered that he had a penchant for the performing arts, and grew obsessed with theatre.

[your character] was nothing like this. He had grown up in a strict, religious household. He was never allowed to swear, or even think about the possibility that there was anything that could have created the universe other than the (conservative) Christian God. Another thing that was heavily enforced upon him from a young age was the idea that males were only supposed to form physical and romantic relationships with females, and vice versa, and that the only gender any person was was whatever they were born as. Anything else was an abomination.

For a long time, he had questioned his teachings, but any questioning of the faith he was being taught was shot down harshly until he stopped arguing against it.

By the time he was fifteen, he had stopped questioning what he had been taught. And even when his parents were arrested for the murder of a couple that lived in their neighborhood, he held on to his teachings. Unfortunately, he was adopted by an atheistic single mother, and while she was willing to allow him to continue practicing his religion, when he started his senior year, rather than being homeschooled like he had been since the “incident,” she decided to send him to a progressive private school.

The school assigned another senior to be his friend and guide throughout the schoolyear, and he hoped and prayed that it would be someone who his own religion deemed 'normal.' This wasn't what he got. He found himself met with someone who went against everything he knew. Someone who denied that 'they' were truly male or female. Someone who didn't believe in any type of god. Someone who was deeply in love with someone who was the same biological gender as they were.

As if things couldn't get any worse, [your character] had, on a dare, auditioned for the part of Kristoff in the school's production of 'Frozen'... and had gotten the part. He didn't mind at first, until the actress who played Anna broke her leg, and he found out that Casey was her understudy. Neither was overly-excited about the situation, but [your character] soon realized that maybe he had been right for questioning things in the past.

It was never a secret to anyone that Cassius Layton was an extremely talented individual. He could do complicated magic at a young age. He was smart. And he was never, ever very far from his best friend. Not until, at the age of sixteen, his father sent him off to a magic school in New York, where it was discovered that he could sing, and he became famous.

[your character] never really spoke with his old friend Cassius after he beame a star. But it wasn't because of his friend's newfound fame; three months after Cassius left for New York [your character] found the man who he'd thought he'd spend his entire life with, and he had never introduced him to his friend. They ended up getting engaged, one week before Cassius ended up back in town after the end of his latest tour. However, he didn't know that his old friend had ended his tour in their hometown to try and win his heart.

Cassius wasn't discouraged by the fact that his old love was engaged. He only saw it as a competition that he would have to win. But would he be able to? Or would he end up getting his heart broken by his own best friend?

Elliot Sanchez was the son of a guardian angel and a demon who specialized in capturing souls who were avoiding going to hell. He was on the fast track to following in his father’s footsteps, but it wasn’t something that interested him. As he had lived in heaven for the first five years of his life, he had grown up watching his mother work with people on earth, helping their lives get better. He had grown obsessed with the idea years before he was sent to hell to live with his father, and, when he turned sixteen and had finished his training in soul capturing, he decided that he would rather be a guardian angel.

[your character] had an awful childhood, full of hardships and chronic depression. He had no friends, not by choice, but because nobody wanted to hang out with the kid who was always being made fun of. He was just a few days from ending it, until he suddenly met Elliot, who seemed to be the perfect friend.

Unbeknownst to [your character], Elliot had begged God and Satan to let him go to earth on the toughest case they had, and they agreed; if he could save this boy, he could become a guardian angel. If he failed, he would stay as a soul hunter. But all guardian angels have one rule; never let your personal feelings get in your way.

My character (muse a) was born with several impulse control issues, including Tourette’s syndrome, pica, and several more that have not been diagnosed. He hides his pica well-enough, and all of his other unfortunate disorders are disguised as nothing more than him being an average, hyper teenage boy. He’s managed to make plenty of friends, and nobody really suspects that he has anything worse than ADHD.

Unfortunately, his parents are not so clueless about his disorders (they had him diagnosed and rediagnosed several times, and it’s not hard to notice whenever he tries to eat paint chips). For most of his life, one of the two has been around to keep him safe. However, with his father going back to work, and a promotion for his mother meaning plenty of late nights and business trips keeping her busy, they’ve decided to hire a babysitter - a rather uncool thing for a seventeen year old to have.

The worst part of it all is when they hire muse b, a classmate of muse a’s. Also fairly popular, muse b is much more put together than muse a, striving to get into a good college, talented at everything he tries. The two know each other to an extent, but while muse b goes to plenty of parties and hangs out with a similar crowd to muse a, he’s always found the hyperactive teen a little too much for him. With both of them trying to make the most out of this awkward situation, and muse b trying to understand the full extent of muse a’s mental issues, they end up starting to become closer than just friends, but it’s only made more complicated by muse a always living in fear that muse b might reveal his problems to the rest of the world.

[your character] had wanted to be a magician his entire life. He had worked for it since he was young, and, though everyone seemed to believe that it was just a phase, he never outgrew it. By the time he was thirteen, he was a master magician. By the time he was seventeen, he was known for sleeping with his assistants. And by the time he was twenty, he was travelling the world performing for giant crowds. He had an amazing life, but no matter how many audiences he amazed, no matter how many people he slept with, he felt alone, even in the world of magic he had created for himself.

Arkadios Antonopoulos, however, was not one to believe in magic. His world was a very black and white place, and he didn't trust easily. Everybody betrayed him, or abandoned him, and he had become very desensitized to it at an early age. He just started to accept the fact that nobody truly liked him, and that the world was just a dull, cruel place.

However, one day he somehow ended up at one of [your character]'s shows. And [your character] saw the pain in his eyes. And he decided to ask the boy, who he promptly nicknamed 'Arkade,' to go with him on tour, because he was going to convince this boy that there was magic in the world.
