Only the good ones make a character's life hell. :P
Oof, yes let's get some cute boys in here. Myles needs some boys to stare at dreamily while warring with himself mentally about his desires@

@Fallenreaper
This isn't Felix! :P Astrid is accepted! I feel as though the Magni world is definitely going to come at a bit of a shock for her.
Please repost your CSes in the character tab and feel free to establish a couple of relationships.
I can make a formal sheet for that if anyone wishes or you can just keep your own notes. I have no preference either way!

I was soooooo tempted to bring Felix back! He had an awesome character dynamic. I'm still a bit conflicted, but maybe I can bring him into the RP someway or somehow! :)
EDIT: I'd be totally down to play two characters if you would allow for it. But I know that some GMs prefer their players to have their primary focus on just one character, and I totally get that.
<Snipped quote by Lionhearted>
Could always keep him as a back up character in the event anything happens to your current one but otherwise with our cast size I think it's best to stick to one character per player for the time being.
I think discord could be good to get relations down easier and to just chill with everyone!

He stands tall and proud, walking with confidence, conviction, and motivation while unintentionally intimidating any acquaintances that he comes across. A stern expression seems to always be present, masking any underlying emotions that he may have. A small, yet consistent habit of clenching his teeth bring attention to his chiseled jawline that frame his otherwise soft features. Felix's blue eyes display vividly between dark eyelashes, often being depicted first when facing most people. Felix's style typically consists of his varsity-letter football jacket, but as of late, he sports more casual clothes. He chooses to wear clothes that are plain and not loud, the majority of his wardrobe being that of neutral colors to pair with jeans or chinos, topped off with either white or black sneakers. Aside from a more mundane way of dressing, Felix is always sure to leave the house with his hair styled nicely, taking pride in his hair cut that he gets from his barber nearly every two weeks. M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S: Not much motivates Felix from day to day. While he has an innate way to achieve what he wants with determination, he finds nothing to truly motivate him other than his competitive nature. As of late, he has begun to fall out from his productivity, becoming lost in the solitude of his own mind. A glimpse of a goal sometimes reaches the surface of his imagination, conspiring of different methods to get out of Crestwood Hollow without looking back. Such a goal is often dismissed as he can’t see much past graduation. |

A glimpse of a goal sometimes reaches the surface of his imagination, conspiring of different methods to get out of Crestwood Hollow without looking back. Such a goal is often dismissed as he can’t see much past graduation.C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T:Felix’s parents always believed that everything belonged in a system to create the many things life required to be tranquil—organized, equal, just, secure. His parents and their wide influence were revered throughout New Hampshire, holding many titles such as: business people, social activists, founders of donation organizations, etc. The list has become much too long to cite every professional title that they take great pride in—thus it’s safe to say that they are, in fact, undoubtedly strict.
It was instilled within Felix to become better than his best at everything, which would imply a more promising future, but it instead conjured a mix of detrimental qualities that he struggles with to date. It became a hard battle, trying to win the affection of his parents, combined with their lack of recognition from his achievements, no matter how sizeable they were. Without consolation, nor succor, from them, Felix began to deal with a lot of emotions beneath the thick surface of his iron skin. Self-hatred, depression, anger—all tangled among the dark thoughts that infested his mind, clad with a robotic determination, striving to be better than who he was yesterday. Though seemingly contradicting, it became an unending war within himself.
In the recent year, Felix began a sudden decline in terms of his mental health, though he masks it with his signature short-tempered and frustrated attitude. During a homecoming game, Felix publicly brawled a member of his team for a game-changing mistake, resulting in his expulsion from the varsity team. This was not only seen as a failure to him, but a brutal punch to the reputation of his parents. The student-body began to reject and avoid him, while his parents were so indulged in disappointment that they no longer believed in the potential success for Felix. While his siblings began to excel with their own academics, he turned to isolation in his bedroom and working at the local coffee shop for a means of detachment from his plummeting life. But it’s with his coming self-discovery that Felix will begin to rise from his mistakes and start to change the colors of his personality. As of now, Felix is mundane and bleak, hoping for some miracle to pull him out that would require little effort for him.C H A R A C T E R N O T E S:
》 Takes his coffee with a little cream
》 Loves the sausage biscuits from Joe's Cafe: a local cafe that makes their own pastries every night. A super trendy spot. Also enjoys their peppermint mocha that they offer in the winter time.
》 His favorite colors are the colors of the foliage. Fall colors.
》 Loves nature and outdoor activities: hiking, jogging, snowboarding, camping, etc.
》 Used to be in boy scouts: was actually decent at it.
》 Really enjoys soft acoustic music. Can also play guitar, but not very well.
》 Average academically
- Felix’s familiar takes the form of an eagle and is very protective over his well-being. This form makes it easier to properly watch over him and has helped Felix in many situations, though she may not realize it.
- Felix’s conduit is a gold chain bracelet that was gifted to him by his ex-girlfriend that he is still hung up on. While they aren’t on speaking terms as of right now, Felix still feels an immense love for her and hasn’t gotten over her.
- Felix dated the head cheerleader for around three years, becoming a power couple among their high school. Due to recent events, they’ve broken up and it’s been a big gossip among the student body. Her name is Claire.
- Felix has very little friends and mainly keeps to himself.
- Felix works at the local coffee shop, called ‘Joe’s Cafe’. It’s a very cozy and aesthetic coffee house.
SIKE. This is my real character.

He doesn’t have the muscle mass of a football player, but neither can he be considered particularly “skinny”; he’s well filled out with well-defined upper body muscles (though you wouldn’t know it at first glance), for which he has his fondness for practical hands-on hobbies to thank. His complexion can be described as dark, and he keeps his face clean shaven. In stark contrast to this, Kwesi’s hairstyle can be described as rather loose and perhaps even “scruffy” or a “mop top”. You can call it what you like, but he’s happy wearing it this way and that’s all that matters. His brown eyes are often easy to miss, as they don’t particularly stand out from the rest of his features, but if you were to look there you would find they are always curious and attentive, taking note of everything around him and trying to suss it all out. Known to stuff his hands into his pockets by default, Kwesi’s demeanor is often considered “nervous” by strangers, as he can be somewhat jittery and a bit shy when first meeting a new face. Don’t mistake his nerves for unkindness, however, he will always greet his fellows with a smile on his face and a polite dip of his head and/or wave. But it will take some time and interactions before he will feel comfortable enough around anyone to really open up enough to start joking around, or indeed to talk about his past or his family. He doesn’t speak of what happened to his mother, though he misses her dearly every day, Kwesi is determined to move on with his life and make it as good as he possibly can, because he knows it’s what she would want him to do. Kwesi prefers the “simple and comfortable” dress style, often found in jeans or cargo pants and sneakers, with a vibrantly colourful t-shirt, sometimes completely plain and sometimes with a geometric-style print somewhere on it; he shies away from clothing which belongs to a specific “brand” and instead prefers to wear something that is simply enough to be eye-catching. Zip-up hoodies are his jacket of choice, the comfier the better. He is never found without the rose gold coloured seashell locket around his neck, while the pendant is most certainly “girly” in fashion, it belonged to his mother and holds great emotional and sentimental value to Kwesi, so he almost never takes it off. Inside of the locket is a picture of Kwesi and his parents. M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S: I went with a foreign exchange student truthfully because I am extremely British and really have no idea how the schooling system works in the States, so while Kwesi is learning the ropes, I am too! For Kwesi’s story, I would love for him to meet people, create some friendships and connections with other PCs and eventually have him become more comfortable and settled into life in the country and at the school. Ultimately discover the magic thing alongside the rest of the group, perhaps during the course of this he will discover the truth behind his mother’s death (to do with her status as a Magni and her former life essentially catching up to her) and have to deal with the shock/accept it all over again now that he knows the real circumstances (also coming to terms with fact mom essentially “lied” to him by withholding said info. Prolly gonna need friends to help him through it or else he’ll just turn into an emotional powder-keg and bad things will occur.) I want to try and keep him as good-natured/cheerful as possible, with just a little hint of drama and angst later on to add some more layers onto his backstory, but otherwise I’m trying to avoid making the character that always causes conflicts, that’s become my comfort zone a bit and I want to push the boat out a little! |
Okayyyy, I think I'm done with him now :P *slides him in here for review*K W E S I J A C K S O N"Bold of you to assume that I know what I’m doing."

Originally hailing from a small town on the South coast of England, Kwesi has only recently moved to the US with his father after an unfortunate accident a year prior left them grieving the loss of Kwesi’s mother. The loss hit Kwesi hard initially, considering the mysterious circumstances around his mother’s demise; she simply never came home from work one day and was found dead by police approximately 3 days later.
Both Kwesi and his father struggled to come to terms with the missing link of their family, so when his father was presented with an opportunity for a “fresh start” in Crestwood Hollow, he decided to take it. Kwesi was apprehensive, but agreed to that the change may do them good and so they packed up and moved to the small town. His father purchased a fishing boat with the savings he had managed to accrue and now works as a trawler off the local docks.
Though Kwesi is unaware of the existence of magic, he has always felt there was something his mother was hiding from him and his father. Something strange, though the boy had never figured out what it was, he wondered if that “something” had anything to do with her sudden and unexplained death.C H A R A C T E R N O T E S:
> Very unconfrontational, is more likely to apologize and walk away than rise to a fight, but as with any reasonable person he may lash out if he feels trapped or like he has no other choice but to fight back
> Analytical and will do his best to understand things but is still the victim of a very steep learning curve. Struggles academically because of said learning curve; is not “stupid”, but is definitely “slow” because the subject matter is presented in a different way to what he’s used to, and he struggles to comprehend the information in front of him. He will get it eventually, it just may take him a bit longer than usual.
> Good with his hands, enjoys woodworking/whittling and fishing with his father as his main hobbies.
> Kindle: Kwesi’s first pet, given to him for his 12th birthday by his mother shortly before her “accident”. Kwesi has had him ever since and feels a deep connection to Kindle but assumes this is because of two factors: his mom bought the snake for him, and he has had Kindle since the snake was very young and fit in the palm of his hands, rather than any sort of magical connection.
> Kwesi’s father owns a fishing boat, named the “Grace” (after Kwesi’s mother) and when he isn’t busy with school work, his other hobbies, or socializing with classmates, he can often be found at the docks helping his dad maintain the boat, or accompanying his father on a fishing trip.

Uni-colored shirts, dark pants, brown shoes. The summer brings t-shirts, shorts and sandals. His thick, black hair is arguably his greatest visual asset, finely combed above his round, somewhat plump face. Of average height and above average weight, Charlie is the kind of chubby that largely goes unnoticed in clothing but quickly becomes uncomfortable in swimming trunks. He's already capable of growing facial hair worthy of someone twice his age, but opts to be perfectly clean-shaven in accordance with what his mother considers appropriate. Charlie has a reserved way about him in school and seldomly smiles cordially, nor does he seek eye-contact (though he doesn't avoid it either). Outside of school, especially when working at Crestwood Special School, he tends to be more jovial. His posture is near perfect, with a straight back and eyes gazing towards the horizon. M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S: Charlie is very invested in St. John's and working with those in special need in general, not necessarily just children. He's committed to his studies and intends to enroll university in behavioral sciences, or possibly psychology. While Charlie has little interest in walking in his father's footsteps (something Josef worked very hard to have Chaldrie do), he does consider getting good grades and enrolling in a reputable university a good way to pay respects to his father. Upon discovering his Hexenbrut origin and all it entails, Charlie will ravenously tap his newfound potential. Up until that point he'd always considered himself unfortunate; yes, he's wealthy and sure, he's smart - but what has that gotten him? There are few outside of St. John's who know him well, and even fewer he'd consider to be friends. Discovering that he's a freaking wizard (his words) will help his mental outlook substantially and serve as a catalyst for Charlie to try and become the man he wants to be - both for himself and those who need him. To become a role model and to possibly use his powers to alleviate those in need. Indeed, to become something of a hero. |

To become a role model and to possibly use his powers to alleviate those in need. Indeed, to become something of a hero.C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T:Charlie has a wealthy background. His father Josef was a Polish engineer by trade who served as the CTO of the American offices of a large Russian conglomerate, while Charlie's Russian mother Misha serves as the principal of St. John's Special Needs Services.
Josef was not a bad man, but he was stern and expected a lot of his only child, domineering Charlie's childhood with very strict parenting. After Josef died of a heart attack a year and a half ago, Charlie has started working extra at the special needs school his mother has been running for the past eighteen years. Here, Charlie has found something he truly enjoys. Helping kids with special needs have given Charlie a sense of purpose he previously lacked, and he has slowly started coming out of his rigid, cautious shell outside of that establishment as well.
Charlie is intelligent and strong-willed, but suffers from a lack of confidence and a poor self-image. Working at St. John's has helped, but there's still some way to go. He'd not consider himself bullied, but he's certainly been picked on in the past both verbally and physically. These days, he's largely a wallflower. Charlie is entirely unaware of the supernatural realm actually existing but does have an interest in the concept: he's read plenty of material on legends and folklore, both local and otherwise. A form of escapism in a household where stuff like video games were never accepted.C H A R A C T E R N O T E S:
* Conversationalist; Charlie might not be a particularly gifted speaker, but his command of language would surely deserve it. He speaks Polish and Russian fluently as well as conversational Spanish and French. Moreover, he's learned braille and sign language at St. John's.
* A nearly entirely white hawk has been turning up around John more and more frequently the past few years. At least, he thinks it's the same hawk.
* While Charlie dislikes conflict and shies away from it, he'd rather get pummeled than be made to do something he doesn't want to - his father did enough of that. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this has also lead to him getting just that on occasion - pummeled.
* Charlie lives on a very large property in a wealthy area on the outskirts of Crestwood Hollow. He's inherited something of a fortune from his father which he'll gain control over when he turns 21.
* He's been brought up Orthodox, but doesn't really consider himself religious.
