born on 3 october 2002 to loving, nurturing (and liberal) parents, brady grew up unashamed of his own emotions and was nicknamed by his family as the cry baby. he loved disney movies and chick flicks and often cried to them. his excessive crying bothered his father a bit, but he didn’t take offense to it until he tried to take his legally blonde dvd away from him.

(he had a thing for the strong blonde woman who shut down another with hair products information lol)

for the longest time, brady was a pacifist and refused to fight unless he needed to. he had fought before he shifted a total of maybe ~ nine fights. he won half of those, lost the half of the others (granted his cousins beat their asses for beating brady’s ass)

you can call him a bit of a slacker and “not there”. often he wouldn’t do his homework in school and spend most class periods staring out the window or on his phone. it took him years later to realised his love for writing and movies and replaced staring out the window to writing stories and watching movie clips in class.

often he would get in trouble, and almost always he never failed to tear up as he got yelled at.

when brady is stressed, he likes to go running in the rain. the droplets of water always felt nice, and the harder the rain, the longer he chose to run. his last human run was of course scary for the boy and he ran in circles trying to figure out:

why he was a wolf

why he couldn’t walk on his back legs &

why he was hearing voices in his head.

it wasn’t long for sam to find him, but it also didn’t take long for sam to be annoyed by brady. essentially the alpha had to deal and teach this pacifist kid how to be a wolf of la push.

at first, brady refused to be part of the pack and even tried to tell his parents about it. when his parents didn’t believe him and his wolf kept coming out, he ended up going back to the uley household. 

he grew close to colin, the other new shifter that he trained with, but maintained a distance from the rest of the pack until he first handed saw what the vampires could do. by that point, brady started to really listen to his pack about the vampires leeches and their ideas started to became his own as well.

brady has a bias against vampires and doesn’t like them. he has a stress ball made from really thick ingredients to play with when he’s in school and around them

he is bothered by how much he enjoys killing vampires, granted the vampires he’s killed were murderers, he still doesn’t like violence.

he goes to fork university as undeclared. he is in between film and english and taking classes within both majors to flesh out whichone is his forte.

he chose to stay with uley’s pack ‘cause he doesn’t know how he feels about working with the cullens and like the rest of the pack, he’d just rather not.

pack dynamics: brady is the pup in the pack that sings tiktok songs in their telepathic connection and tries to get the pack to do tiktoks with him in the woods during patrol times.

“come on! sam won’t notice silence for a minute. it’s a simple dance! -- or you can stay in wolf mode and pretend to attack me!”

yo imagine if brady got gay thoughts and his pack had to see it LOL

he is still a pain in the ass to uley pack probably cause he has selective hearing and will go off on storyline ideas in his head when they’re talking to him. he gets yelled often to stop day dreaming while on patrol.

i wrote brady as homosexual on my page, but i’m gonna make him homoflexible.

jae tanner, born on november 5, 1970 in manhattan, new york, was the son of a conservative strict mother and a rough around the edge father with a secret background.

his real name was tan jae kyung.

his mother worked as a cashier for a korean supermarket and his father did jobs that ... that didn’t require him to pay taxes. they went like this until he was eight, when they had enough money to own a korean restaurant, which he himself worked in until their closing

growing up, he learned the korean language and customs, but kept his “asian” side at home when he was with his friends. he also grew up with a big love for his father. it drove his mother crazy when he did bad things in his teens years, something his father encouraged.

his father was the start of jae’s introduction to his voice alteration abilities he has now. his father was the first to noticed how jae’s tone frequently changed when he spoke korean and english and how he mimicked his family and friends. his father, a man who also had the ability to adjust his voice, taught him certain techniques regarding the throat and nasal cavity to adjust his voice to resemble others.

(headcanon: mr. tan was a con artist who called old people and pretend to be the irs or their family needing money. mrs. tan didn’t know about this.)

his first test was with his mother, mimicking his own father. it took him a few trials before he succeeded.

with this learning experience from his father and the growing boom of beatboxing in harlem, jae took it a step higher, incorporating the skills he learned from his father in his beat box. he did pretty well with his talent and could have been compared to the o.g. beat boxers if he stuck around.

beatboxing unfortunately for jae was also his demise when a vampire named daniel took notice of his talent and turned him one night on his way home.

kidnapped and kept at daniel’s place, he woke up a new person, and livid at the man who changed him. he attempted to go home but stopped after nearly killing his mother. he attempted to kill daniel multiple times afterwards.

he stuck with daniel and committed a lot of petty crime with his ability; making jae grow to despise his creator ‘cause the deeds he did reminded him of home. he left once he knew he wouldn’t be followed, and that was shorty after daniel found a new subject who accepted him as a mate. 

free from daniel, he learned to adjust to his life as a vampire by himself. he lived in a cabin for a few years before traveling and living in motels from time to time. his tolerance of blood was better when he fed extra before going into a town to spend time around humans.

(he got lonely sometimes, don’t blame him ... and beatboxing and doing voices for humans to get money was a plus!)

[he spoke in a thick korean accent and told people red eye contacts were popular in korea when asked about how he looked]

when the internet came along, he used the venue to his advantage and sold noise tracks, voice recordings, and other things to make a better buck. by this point, he adopted the name jae tanner to gain more customers; he was also really popular in the indie field.

by the news of the cullens, he decided to go to forks to see what the story is all about.

vocal mimicry

vocal mimicry is the ability to mimic someone’s voice perfectly. jae has had a talent for it since he was a child and the practice with his father helped solidify his chances of this ability. 

real name, christian mercer

nickname: chin, from the chrisTIAN part of his name

twin son of a mobster and his late girlfriend (passed for being associated with the mobster father),

twin brother’s name is christopher (why he goes by chin)

grew up adoring the mobster lifestyle and was really a handful,

though having twin sons was a handful in general for a single father

(better yet, a mobster father)

learned how to fight from his father and his father’s “family”, and would enthusiastically insist every time to join them despite his teenage status.

lowkey grew up on toxic masculinity and was abused by his father and family, though it goes unfazed.

once he reached seventeen, he pushed his way into that lifestyle and went on orders with his father and eventually his father.

would normally go home covered in blood, his own or victims.

because of his upbringing, chin is also a self hating closeted homosexual.

OKAY SO WHY COLLEGE?

doesn’t have interest in actually getting a degree.

got into college through a C average gpa and a baseball scholarship (he loves the sport and was one of the best in his college).

(though it could also be because everyone knew of his family and didn’t fuck with him).

his main target is to sell drugs to college students.

ALSO it is to follow his twin brother.

Chin can be a bit co-dependent on his twin brother, because he is his closest best friend.
