The Animal Mage

       “Well, I’m sure there are plenty of the community that missed having you around, I did. Its good to have you back in town. How was your time away?”

“Thanks. Could have been longer but I also can’t complain.“

“Yes!” Jem started towards the passenger side, stopped at his comment of exploding cars. “Were you seriously working while on vacation? That’s so lame.”

“Shut up, it was a vacation not a sabbatical. I can’t turn off my potion genius, it follows me everywhere.“ Judson smirked getting into his vintage 1938 bugatti. “Plus, creating new shit keeps my homicidal tendencies at bay.“

“Are you serious? We could play hookie if you aren’t up for it. This new guy just started working at SP…”

Judson smiled. Clearly deliberating it before shrugging and gesturing back to his car. “I’m always down for impromptu trips. I just gotta text Patch to meet us there.” 

“I was thinking about setting up a tent with the works but I hate tents and I’m pretty sure the police would be on my ass.”

“I bet you an arm and a leg that my uncles would have gotten to you first. They’ve been running the joint with my bestie, Patch, while I’ve been gone.“ Judson smiled politely as he locked his car, leaving his bags inside, as he made his way to unlock the doors. “But I’m glad that you would’ve if you didn’t hate tents and were sure the cops wouldn’t roll around.“

“I stand corrected,” he replied, giving his friend a grin. “I couldn’t very well risk you being welcomed home by a stranger,” Fenrin happily returned the hug, he’d missed him while he’d been away. “It’s good to see you,”

“This is why you’re the best of the best.“ Judson chuckled. “You too... I just had to get away for awhile.“

The warlock blinked at him, “Of course I knew you were away…..I could have sworn someone said you were back already…” Gendry gave him a puzzled look, “What month is it?”

“You know, I’m working on a new line of potions, with less side effects, that can help with that.“ Judson said thoughtfully. “The month is never important, its autumn. Late in the harvest season.“

“I think there’d need to be someone else here for it to be considered a line,” he joked

“False. You know I can make anything happen. And one person is enough to start a line in my books.“ Judson said, while walking up to Fenrin and grabbing him for a hug. “Glad your the first face I’m seeing.“

“Isn’t that what people do when waiting for a shop to open?” he asked genuinely. 

  “Why are you waiting for me to open? Gendry... I haven’t been in town for months. I don’t think Roman or Garrett would open the shop this early either.“ Judson paused with a frown before shrugging it off and smiling at Gendry. “And here I thought you would have noticed my absences.“

“Oh captain, my captain.” She did a mock salute and sauntered towards him. “Ready to get back into the swing of things?”

Judson rolled his eyes and saluted back with his middle finger. “I haven’t even locked my car yet. Maybe in the next 3 to 5 business days.”

   “Not at all. Bill told me you were headed back and I wanted to say hi.”

“Thanks. Kinda wanted the community to see how life would be without me but I couldn’t stay away from my family too long and there’s no convincing them to leave either.“

“Are you trying to start a line outside my shop?“

→ His Personality

Judson is very kindhearted, passionate, and loyal. He is willing to risk his life for a loved one in every way possible. He sees helping others as his purpose in life, but while normal people can be found engaging rescue efforts and doing charity work, Judson's real passion is to get to the heart of the issue so that people do not need to be rescued at all. Though soft-spoken, Judson usually has very strong opinions and will fight tirelessly for an idea he believes in. He can be decisive and strong-willed. While in his lab, he acts with creativity, imagination and faith. Also, with sympathy to not create an advantage to the supernatural community only, but to create for the human population too. He wants to take care of the world. As a user of theriogenology, Judson had to fight for the respect of his peers and most of the supernatural community, because of the power to control animals and eventually mythical creatures. He holds that respect and the trust he gained above all else.

→ His Connections

Parent Names:

Ronan Cleirgh (Father): Judson takes his love and art for magic from his father. Ronan has taught him nearly everything he knows today.

Ishtar Cleirigh (Mother): Judson takes his personality after his mother the most. Ishtar gives the best hugs and no one comes close to her cooking. 

Sibling Names:

Nathan Cleirigh (Brother): Nathan was always the doting older brother. He never lost his patience with Judson or his temper.  

Ethan Cleirigh (Brother): Being a couple of years apart made them closer. Judson will never forget that Ethan volunteered to postpone his studies so that they could start schooling, and later on, training together.

Sean O’Payne-Cleirigh (Brother): Judson never hung out with Sean. He’s sure Sean hated him with a passion. Ishtar and Jo forbid them being in the same country at one point.

Teyla ‘Tikka’ Cleirigh (Sister): Judson wasn’t sad that he wasn’t the youngest anymore when Tikka was born. He was the first to note the scent of decay, alerting everyone she was a necromancer. She’s already his little potion master in the making and everyone knows it.

Altair Cleirigh (Brother): Judson wasn’t sad he wasn’t the youngest boy anymore when Altair was born. Loland couldn’t pry Judson away from his little brother. Judson has recently taught Altair how to swim and have many future beach trips planned out already. 

Children Names:

Ryan Cleirigh (Son): Ryan came as a surprise to everyone but Judson. Judson had heard about a private witch and warlock surrogate program and sperm donors. Without telling anyone, Judson closed up shop to ‘find himself’ and returned 9 months later with a newborn. Ryan is Judson’s greatest accomplishment. Sometimes it's easy to forget that Ryan is his son because of their close friendship. 

Romantic Connections:

Abigail Sookram (Ex Girlfriend): Abigail was the closest thing to lust at first sight that Judson has ever experienced. They had instantly clicked when they met and soon tumbled into the sheets with each other. For ages their relationship stayed strictly sexually without strings attached until they decided to give the prospect of a serious relationship a go. Months later Judson ended things when he caught her stealing a few family heirlooms; apparently it wasn’t the first time either.

David Scott (Ex Boyfriend): Judson and David dated for a few years before calling it quits. He was Judson's first serious relationship with a vampire. Their relationship was great in the beginning but as time went on their personality differences and unmatching long term wants were getting harder to ignore. They tried to maintain a friendship after breaking up, however, David eventually left Allegra Cove for Getta’s son seethe in Europe. 

Marlon Bentley Jr. (Ex Boyfriend): Marlon was a local wolf shifter that Judson randomly met at Anonymous. Something about him had caught Judson’s attention and he knew he had to have the wolf shifter to himself. It took nearly a full year of jumping through hoops to establish a relationship and nearly another year to tell their friends and family about each other. Judson fought tooth and nail to make their relationship work but he didn’t realize that they were in a toxic relationship. The constant belittling, controlling behavior, lack of support, hostility towards family traditions, blatant disrespect and jealousy caused Judson to break emotionally, mentally and physically. The relationship ended badly enough that Judson left Allegra Cove.

Platonic Connections:

Katherine ‘Kate’ Brooks (New Friend): Judson likes her and he thinks that Ryan does too. She’s a fascinating human.

Jev ‘Patch’ Cipriano (Best Friend): Patch is the little brother that Judson always wanted. Their friendship is one of the best that Judson has ever had. 

Bill White (Good Friend): Bill might as well be family at this point in their friendship. Bill, Patch and Judson have an amazing connection. 

Fenrin Gustafsson (Friend): Judson and Fenrin first met whilst surfing years ago. When they bumped into each other again in Chicago a friendship formed between them. Judson is currently using Fenrin as a lab rat for potions to help battle dehydration. Fenrin has been a great help and Judson plans on crediting him.

Cassandra Askeris (Old Friend): Cassandra and Judson have been friends for centuries. Judson considers her essentially family at this point. 

Jia Hu Cleirigh (Old Friend): Judson has a deep respect for Jia. It's something about the man that peaks Judson interest. 

Audo Wilhelm (Friend): Audo isn’t bad for a Wilhelm. He was weary of him at first but once Judson got to know him more, Audo wasn’t that bad.

Emmett Wilhelm (Friend): Emmett isn’t bad for a Wilhelm. Everyone is usually familiar with the local liaison but Emmett has earned more than just a title. 

Minsky Edison (Friend): Minsky is a cool dude. They do a lot of business together which Judson appreciates because Minsky is old enough not to need him. 

Kenneth McStevens (Friend): Ken secretly works for Judson. As a Benevorous user not a lot of magic users trust Ken but Judson sees potential in him.

Lyla Wilhelm (Friend): Lyla is married to Emmett and is Audo’s best friend. Emmett and Audo introduced her to Judson and they have been friends since. 

Kudzai Rinker (Strained Friendship): Not alot of people agree with Kudzai’s ways but due to her age and success, a lot of people show her respect. Mainly Judson.

Naomi Goode (Mentee): Naomi came to him not to enhance her powers but to master potions, which Judson is used to. He enjoys her as his student.

Margo Wilhelm (Mentee): Margo is absolutely adorable. He has been helping Audo care for her and is proud that her first words were ingredients to a potion.

Mattie Cocci (Mentee): Mattie came to him not to enhance her powers but to master potions, which Judson is used to. She’s not bad but has far to go.

Roman Cleirigh (Former-Mentor): Roman is also Judson’s uncle. At a young age, Judson was attached to Roman’s hip and for the most part, he still is.

Kaylor Genesis (Former-Mentor): Kaylor is also Judson’s aunt. They share the same powers and same carefree attitude. They’ve always got along.

Brighton ‘Bee’ Genesis (Business): Bee is also his uncle by marriage. Bee joined him and Ethan on the battlefield and saved them both multiple times. Bee powers also come in handy when he needs rare ingredients for projects.  

Belle Cunningham (Business): Belle can do amazing things with her powers. She uses Wondering Magic as a Consignment Store.

Garrett Cleirigh (Employee): Garret is also Judson’s uncle. Both of them are willing to drop everything at once to help the other out. 

Hostile Connections:

Louis Martin-Rovet (Dislike): Judson has nothing against other supernatural creatures but Louis and his rats are pushing it too far. 

Pets:

Dante frowned at both the mans response and the contents of his hands. The frown only deepen when he heard the heart beats of the creates. For a moment he could have explained the shot as coming from this man hunting. But given the creatures were alive and he appeared to have no gun it seemed unlikely. “You didn’t hear that?” he asked a little surprised, lowering his arms. It had sounded so loud to him but maybe to a someone who wasn’t a shifter it hadn’t been. 

“The gunshot? Yeah. That’s the reason I’m calling it in early.” Judson said, while slowly lower his arms too and continued walking. “I think there’s a group of young idiots back there hunting some type of big animal.” He would usually report them to the authorities since it wasn’t hunting season but over the years he had learned to mind his own business and let people be. “Probably an antlered deer or bear.”

“Maybe not predictable… But obvious about your interests.” He teased with a smile. “I don’t think anyone would call me adventurous, but I certainly like to roam.”

“You like to roam? Is that what they’re calling it nowadays?“

“I can see that.”

“Love surfing, typically I stick to the same beaches I know though. But uh-That’s kind of what I wanted to talk to you about.” He dragged his foot across the floor. ”I wanted to ask you out, maybe something more outdoorsy than our last one.”

“Seriously?“ Judson grinned, looking over to Jace. “I honestly didn’t see you as a surfer. Being Geokinetic and all. Do you not fear being off land?“ Judson fired off, unable to hid his excitement.
