( Kit Connor /21 / he/him ) â Everett Roy has been living in Port Leiry for since he was 13, but has recently been off at Art school in Chicago. They currently work as an artist, and are 21 years old. No one is sure if theyâre actually a witch or if theyâre connected to Garnett Coven They tend to be quite indecisive and resigned, but can also be expressive and insightful.

001. Life starts off well. The youngest of the Roy siblings, Everett starts life with everything. Sure he spends more time with the housekeeper than he does his parents but he is loved and he knows it. He knows his siblings fight, he knows his parents mutter about Nathaniel, he knows his father smells particularly sour after coming home from work, but they are happy. Secrets keep the family Happy. Everett is happy and satisfied for the first 11 years of his life.
002. Everything is fine, that is until Jameson burns your house, the housekeeper, and your parents to the ground. All the while you are locked in a closet that no flame touches. Nathaniel pulls Everett from the house but a part of all the Roys died that night. It would be years until Everett spoke again.
003. Their Fatherâs sister, their Aunt, is charged with taking care of Everett. Calling her mad would be an understatement. She locks Everett is tight spaces pushing him to get over the trauma that was the fire, whispering of ghosts that will come for the bloodline and other vile things. Everett doesnât tell his siblings, not only cause he canât talk, but they are going through enough already. And he can take it. He can take it.
004. The madness burns bright and one day, in a fit of madness, after hurling spell after spell, his Aunt combusts before him in a torrent of necrotic power. When his siblings find him Everett is surrounded by death and carnage and their Aunt is dead, Everett doesnât even have a scratch on him. They assume itâs him, and while Everett regains his speech after the incident, he can never bring himself to tell them he didnât do it.
005: Nathaniel brings Everett to the Garnett Coven in Port Leiry. Brennan sees Everett in a way Everett only remembers the housekeeper seeing him. Brennan and C teach Everett magic, Everett tries, but knows deep down heâs not gifted in this way, he never preforms more than the subtlest ritual spell.
006: Brennan finds the wall. Everettâs sanctuary. Itâs an abandoned office building on their side of town and by the time Brennan findâs 15 year old Everettâs sanctuary itâs covered in colour. Boxes of purple fire, wells of pink blood, fingers of green vine, butterflies without wings. Expression of a boy who feels so much and can do so little. Brennan doesnât rebuff him, instead spray cans start showing up with Câs homework. Everett finds sanctuary in anonymity and aerosol.
007: Everett gets into the Art Institute of Chicago. His secound show his freshman year, a showcase earns Everett critical recognition. Heâs young, talented⌠thereâs a boy. Marcus is a phial witch who builds art catered to oneâs olfactory senses. Heâs beautiful and by year two he thinks he loves him.
008: Marcus has been shot and every Phial remedy they have on hand doesnât work. It seems impossible, Marcusâs line is old, he was prepped for this. But nothing either of them can do works, almost like magicâŚ. Nothing works. He bleeds out. Everett is breaking in his apartment when he receives the news Nathaniel has died as well.
009: the art gets dark. C is missing, Brennan is more distant than ever. But Everettâs career is still on the rise, critics calling his work âinspiringly sadâ and âwelcomingly impersonalâ . In Chicago an anonymous street artist emerges, they call them the Zwart Gat Mot (Black Hole Moth), ZGM for short, after the first piece that appeared. If Everett wasnât living alone or constantly working on his own pieces in the studio, someone might have noticed paint caked under his finger nails when he came home every night.
010: Brennan is dead. C needs him to come home. Heâs earned enough recognition to continue to work and make money away from school while finishing his degree abroad. So Everett returns to Port Leiry and all that truth the city has to offer.
Wanted Connections:
Affirmation Situation: A lover Everett had at the beginning or before he went to college. Either a hunter or a vampire who couldnât sense Everett was a witch and helped affirm, either consciously or unwittingly, to him that though he came from a long line of witches, he himself was not deserving of the name.
Friends of the Roys: Everett represents the last part of a long line of Roys, a family that made a name for itself in Connecticut. Maybe you are from the same social circle, maybe you dislike the name on principle.
Chicago Phial: Everett thinks he did everything to save Marcus, but unknown to him at the time, Everettâs negation magic is what prevented his loverâs healing magic from saving him. Maybe Marcus had an older sibling, a best friend, someone who maybe knew or didnât know Everett. A piece of his past come to haunt him
People from the Art world who know of or are critical of Everett.
Iâm open to any connections, friendly or unfriendly.
