Digging Deep

In-Depth Appearance
Lewis has dirty blonde hair that almost seems brown and he either keeps it in a side part, hides it under a beanie or doesn't bother at all. His beautiful blues rest above bags, obscured by his worn face and damaged by fading scars and bruises, same can be said about his fair complexion. Lewis is thin, lanky and almost frail but he makes do with it and can exert enough physical effort when he has to, all those fist fights and beat ups back in high school improved his threshold for pain after all. Standing at 5'7 ft, he has developed an insecure complex about his height but has found that he is more than willing to hide it with a firm and proud posture. He wears down most of the time and goes for comfort: flannels, shirts, raglans, hoodies, the farthest he has gone for dressing up are collared shirts and that's about it.

Biggest Fear
Lewis grew up in a very caring domestic environment back in Amsterdam, his mother and father were very much in love and they had more than enough wealth to get by. Everything changed for him one night when their house got caught in a wildfire, leaving his childhood into rubble and having his dad's life taken away. He could never forget the shades of orange that engulfed everything that he knew. Now, traumatized by this; Lewis can not stand seeing bright shades of orange, the smoke that hung in the air, and the feeling of helplessness that remind him of that night.

Personality
Due to happenings that followed after moving into America, Lewis had a hard time in his pubescent years. He's grown jaded despite his young age and has lost trust in most people, the few friends he keep can hardly even get through the tough walls he put up. He is the kind of person you would go to if you want to get things done but you can never count on him to comfort you in dark times, because he's stuck in his own head. That being said, he isn't unaware of the people around him, he just doesn't bother. He says what's on his mind and doesn't care about the repercussions. That's Lewis, literally just does not give a fuck. He's been worn and to him, the world is a sinking ship that no one can jump out of. But he wants to find purpose, he believes there's a reason people exist and why the world is as it is, he strongly values the very few things he has come to love. Lewis will go with whatever benefits him the most and believes that the end justifies the means. He has a warped sense of adventure that sometimes seem a little destructive.





"Everyone's dying, just at different speeds so get up your ass and keep on keeping on, there's no use moping around."





Origins

Background
Lewis grew up in a comfortable house at the outskirts of Amsterdam, the lovechild of elopers: a dutch architect and an american playwright. He was a very sweet and energetic child, he loved his parents, he felt that he had all the love he could get in the world and everything was going smoothly until he lost his dad from a wildfire one night, he was closer to him than he was to his mom His father's death was a tragic accident, one that his mom took so hard she went into the darkest places in her head; she went into a very deep depression, enough that they had to go back to America for her to be taken care of by her parents. The transition from this migration gave Lewis a hard time, being a teenager and having to deal with a sick mother along with the pressure of gaining the affection of his disapproving grandparents took more from him than he could have anticipated. Before he knew it though, his emotions got the better of him and he started "rebelling"( as his grandparents put it): taking up fists against bullies that provoked him, skipping classes just to get away from everything, and putting up walls just to not have to deal with another problem. Against all this, he had no one, not even his own mother and he felt like he wasn't even given a choice. He died inside, he had to for he needed to set aside his emotions just to get by. This continued for years, till he finally graduated high school and everything felt better. Through the course, his grandparents died and to him it was pressure off his shoulder as morbid and bitter as it sounded. His mom became more stable, able to stand on her own, taking a career change as a social worker. But the two of them have grown apart and somehow, he knew there was no going back to how they were and he despised that. It was the biggest wall, he has erected and he doesn't have the heart to knock it down and she had issues of her own.

Their wealth slowly got spent through the years, with her mom's job not exactly paying much, Lewis had to fend for himself, taking odd jobs to earn his own to spend. Two years into university and Lewis finally decided to move out, his mom has met a new man and got married, the very thought takes him back to his dark places and he couldn't exactly do anything about it. Despite working his ass off, he still needed more money, it was not enough to get by and so he discovered cam shows. And now here he is, a new resident of Eden Gardens with all the baggage he carries and the weights that bring him down.

Sent mine as well :)
Hi, would like to try this out! Will send my cs in a bit.
I was eyeing this rp for a couple o days now, havnt had the time to write an application (i was gunna post something but it totally slipped my mind ;_;. ) But I suppose theres no more space in this merry little crew for a saarebas?
@spacecakes

So I asked @Apokalipse who spent much, much time on all the witch lore (God love her), and we think that there aren't any specific covens for a school of magic – the individual witch chooses what to specialise in. Also, given that this is London, a Louisiana based practice is going to be extremely rare and there's unlikely to be more than four/five people if even that in the city who study it. It would be a small coven that is probably distrusted if it's even known about (as necromancy isn't the most savory of arts). They're more likely to be a small group within one of the larger covens in Britain.

Unless you wanted your character to come from America, in which case ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it's all background information anyway.

Fae/Witch definitely not possible though. Witches are normal humans with magical talent, Fae are definitely not human.


I'll have to do a couple of research about it as well. But I like to think that my character is the only person who knows the medium (I'm possessive that way) and that it's a birthright thing rather than by choice, where tribes forcibly implement these stuff to anyone who has a high enough affinity to wield it. (cue reluctant witch doctor character) Voodoo is a dieing practice and what's left of its practitioners does everything to preserve it. Yes, I guess the Louisiana practice would be extremely rare but not unheard of, maybe even considered taboo/illicit by most.

That being said, I think making a character fresh off the boat is most likely for the setting.

@McHaggis, Regarding witch covens, how would you feel about a traditional tribal faction inspired from the Haitian and Louisiana practice? I'm talking bout strictly voodoo and necromancy here, anything that has to do with connecting/manipulating the netherworld. I plan on making a witch character who belonged to said tribe, that is sadly very underground and slowly dieing (more on that later). I mean it could not even be a recognized faction, just that people know it's out there. Oh and the character I'm working on is a Fae/Witch, just wanno know if cross-classing is ok.
