Character: Charlotte Finley Species: Vampire Age: 50 Gender: Female Pronouns: She/her Occupation: Handyman By: Codie

Biography

Charlotte grew up around Tempe, Arizona. Her father died when she was young and her mother passed a few months after her 21st birthday, and as devastating as it was, they had set her up to be fairly self-sufficient long before that. She stayed in the house her mother left to her, usually renting out one of the spare rooms on short-contract stays and working maintenance and home-repair jobs to support herself.

Roman was her best friend, and had been since they were young children. They met when they were around 7 or 8 and both taking horseback riding lessons at a local barn. Roman eventually grew out of the hobby, but Charlie continued off and on. Roman moved in to the other spare room of her parents’ house eventually, since Charlie didn’t like to be alone but wasn’t close to many people. They never spoke about it, but there was a vague sense of romance between them that developed sometime in their teens.

When they were 26, Roman discovered he was a witch. Charlie dove headfirst into helping him figure out what that meant. They couldn’t involve his strictly religious and estranged parents, of course, since they considered both of them heathens already. Roman’s paternal aunt (also estranged from the family) managed to put him on the right path; she wasn’t a witch herself, but she knew their family history and believed that not everyone was strictly human. About a year into Roman’s own studies, he began to get sick.

Roman got progressively worse over the course of about a year, until Charlie wouldn’t let him write it off anymore and forced him to see a doctor – not just visit an urgent care clinic like he had been doing. He was diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer, and his parents swooped in to move him into their house. Roman abandoned anything to do with being a witch, too sick and weak to practice and under constant surveillance from his parents. Charlie spent most of her time divided between his family’s house trying to care for him without being thrown off the property, and desperately searching for a solution. Between Roman’s aunt and her own research, she had learned enough to figure that it wasn’t just witches that existed in the world. She did some digging – not nearly enough – and found what she thought was a fix.

Unfortunately for Charlie, she didn’t account for the fact that some supernatural beings (like humans) are less than honest. She made a deal with someone who claimed to be a witch, who promised that they could give her something she could take to Roman to make him better. All she had to do was travel to Las Vegas and meet them on their turf. Desperate and exhausted and naïve, Charlie accepted. Tracking them down proved to be a lot more difficult than she was led to believe. The “witch” delivered on their promise though, just not what she expected. Charlie turned at age 27. It took her a week between the day she left his family’s house and the day she left Vegas to return. She drove straight home and crashed on the couch around midnight, too tired to even bother bringing in her suitcase.

She planned to drive to the family house the next morning. She did not plan to follow an ambulance to the hospital. She did not plan to be stopped at the entrance and served a restraining order. She did not plan to have a police officer tell her that Roman died peacefully, in his sleep.

Now she’s stuck, too scared to die and too hurt to do much of anything else.

She moved to Henrietta, using the money from selling her house and most of her belongings to buy a run-down barn. She’d become handy enough over the years to put the effort in and fix most of it up herself. Aside from her one personal horse, she also has a veritable zoo of sanctuary-seeking and in-training animals. Other than Roman’s aunt’s occasional letters, she has no contact with anyone she used to know before she turned.

Personality

Charlie keeps mostly to herself unless someone else initiates. She’s friendly enough, and not shy so much as quiet and observant. She thinks of herself as a loner, driven by the fear of losing any more people she grows close to. She is very cautious about any kind of relationships, whether platonic or otherwise, and in complete denial that she craves some form of intimacy. She is honest, protective, and fairly unshakeable in her calm approach to most situations until a certain line is crossed.

Character: Alex Anderson Species: Witch ? Age: 29 Gender: Male Pronouns: He/him Occupation: Nursery Worker By: Tabs

Biography

The campground baby. This was the title that followed Alex around everywhere he went. He couldn’t even blame people for it. To say his beginning was strange was barely scratching the surface. In 1960, a baby disappeared in the middle of the night from his crib. Most assumed his parents killed him, being young adults who had made the mistake of going to the Holy Hills campground. In 1991, a baby appeared outside of the Holy Hills. Just a few months old, a local cops found him out of pure luck. He was brought into town, and while investigations were made, nobody had any missing child. He was fostered by a local family, and that was really where his story took a turn for the worst. He was the campground baby, the cursed child, and it didn’t help as he grew up and his own personal strangeness began to blossom. He heard voices that weren’t there, knew about things before they happened, spoke little and in riddle when he did. His foster parents told him to hide it. They already received strange looks for fostering *him*, they didn’t want the added stigma of him being special. So Alex learned to block it all out. He stayed by himself, avoided other kids, even the others in the house. At school, he kept to himself and struggled to keep up average grades. Forcing him to keep his otherness quiet was the least destructive thing his foster family did. They kept plenty of kids, mostly for the checks, all to pay for more alcohol. It was not a good home environment. It was the beginning of high school that things began to look up. He was sent to the school counselor, who happened to be a witch. She saw what he was right away and took him under her wing, teaching him about what he could do. He was not cursed, he was blessed with abilities. Suppressing them for so long had kept him dull and stupid, and as she taught him how to control them more properly, he sharpened considerably. His grades shot through the roof, immediately put into the gifted and talented program. He spent as much time as possible with the counselors family, finally finding hope for, if not a normal life, a good life. As college rolled around, Alex had his pick with his grades, and he went straight into medical school. The direction was easy, he wanted to help people. He wanted to go where he felt he could do the most good. He enlisted.  He was shipped off as soon as he was ready, introduced to a violently different lifestyle. Poor conditions, lack of supplies, men that had already been sick for weeks. His powers only made it worse, always hearing the pain with no escape. He somehow lasted two years until something inside of him just…broke. He stumbled away in the middle of the night after several men died from wounds in a firefight, wandering till morning. That was how he found an IUD. He was lucky enough that it didn’t take off any limbs, lucky enough to even survive. Not lucky enough to avoid any injury at all. What exactly happened is still a blur, but he woke up as a prisoner of war with a dent his head and an inability to shut off anything. He couldn’t suppress his powers, he couldn’t not think about anything. Simple things like breathing or blinking, he had to think about all of it at the same time. They patched him up just enough to stay alive and the next two years passed in a blur of hellish conditions and a mind that only slipped further and further down a rabbit hole. The rescue was unexpected to say the least, and he’s still not sure how they got him and the others out. He just remembers being told that he was a hero and he was going home. He didn’t feel like a hero. He was given an honorable discharge and several medals and shipped off back to Henrietta. Back in Henrietta, the label once again found him of ‘Campground Kid’, followed closely by ‘Disturbed Veteran’. The first few months he had no job and no home, living on the streets. It was one of the town wolves who eventually took pity on him. They cleaned him up, got him on his feet, helped him get a job. He slowly clawed his way to, not a good life, but a life. He got a crappy apartment, found a job at the local plant nursery where plants that had no thoughts or pain to share with him.

Since he was very young, in his small town in Brazil, Roberto Davina was the girl’s favorite. Maybe it was his confidence or sense of humor, maybe he was just handsome, but Boto was never alone. His mother always told him to be responsible and don’t play with people’s feelings, reminding him he didn’t want to be like his father. Like he had any choice. On his 18th birthday, that’s when it happened. Boto partied all night and watched the sunrise by the river after the after party. But as the sun touched his skin, he felt out of breath, dizzy and awkwardly dropped from the docks into the water. He immediately felt better but looking at himself he realized he really was his father’s son. Boto, son of the pink dolphin, a pink dolphin himself. He adapted himself to the new life, underwater during the day, partying at night and slowly learned to control his transformation. And that’s when he met the prettiest girl he’s ever seen. Bianca was his dream girl and he did everything he could to make her happy, and eventually she got pregnant. Boto promised himself he’d be a better father than his, but before the baby was born his girlfriend found out that he was a pink dolphin and broke up with him. About a month later she got engaged to someone else and moved away, making sure Boto would not be part of their kid’s life. Frustrated and heartbroken, Roberto moved to Henrietta and got a job at the bar, a house by the river and a new beginning, deciding to never fall in love again.

Biography

Hayden has always wanted to belong to something more than just a lake. The life of a shape-shifting water horse got boring after a while and curiosity of humans began to take over. Clothing had always been a fascination with the kelpie. To Hayden, clothes were just another part of their form. But to humans, it was a way to stay warm, express themselves, and or show their wealth. It didn't take long for Hayden's curiosity to become an obsession. The kelpie took under the wing of an elderly seamstress who needed a hand around her shop. Once Hayden mastered their craft, they set off to learn more. Hayden traveled the world with what they earned, making sure the towns or cities they lived in was near some source of water.

After a couple of decades, Hayden found traveling rather lonesome. The human company was difficult to keep due to their nightly need to return to the water in their true form. But eventually, Hayden found a friend just as otherworldly as themself. Dianthus was a fae with an affinity for flowers, books, and travel. The kelpie and the Fae shared a love of learning about human culture and knowledge. They traveled together for a while before parting ways. The two did their best to keep in touch, sometimes bumping into each other and playing catch up. With the turn of the 21st century, Hayden found the invention of the email godsend. Hayden found themself living in new york for a time, they could relate to the everchanging fashion. Hayden went through fashion programs to get official proof of their almost 2 centuries of fashion knowledge and culture. The kelpie is currently working on starting up their own all-inclusive fashion line. Inspired in part by Hayden's shapeshifting form but also the LGBTQ+ Community where the kelpie quickly felt at home.

Hayden had heard of Henrietta through their fae friend Dianthus. Apparently it was a place where many magical creatures called home. Needing a change of pace to work on their line, Hayden decided to pay their friend a visit.

Velma was a young woman in the 90s and early 00s, but she didn’t live much, even when she was alive. Always pretty quiet and shy, no one really noticed her around town. This did make her a very good target for unsavory folks, sadly. For a few years before she died Velma was denying a crush on her only friend. Louise. Unfortunately for Velma Louise was not the kind to make friends with. The kind that dared you to do things like go to Holy Hill, or run into the river in your underthings. It was on one of these dares that she ended up dying. Specifically one where she had to swim across the lake and back in the middle of a winter night. Now Velma wasn’t unfit, but that cold? No one would be able to do that. She didn’t stick around to see if they found her. And she knew that not many people would notice her absence. But hey, she was a ghost now.... that’s pretty cool!

Character: Julian Species: Vampire Age: 1,935 Gender: Male Pronouns: He/him Occupation: Entrepreneur  By: Open

Biography

Ambitious. If there was one word Julian might use to label himself, it was ambitious. He wasn’t necessarily born into slavery, but his tribe was attacked while he was too young to even remember his family, his people. All he ever knew was the army. He was a slave, an errand boy for the Roman army with little to no hope for the future. But hope and ambition are not the same thing, and while he might have been depleted of one, he was full of the other. It was his ambition which got him noticed, never content to remain in his simple station. 

He pushed himself as hard as he could, going above and beyond at every opportunity, working hard than anyone around him and it worked. Julian got himself noticed by those above him and when he turned seventeen, he was freed in order to properly join the army. There again, he pushed himself to be the best. His ambition had him moving through the ranks quickly. He had the promise of a bright and comfortable future. 

He threw it all away for Reuben. A broken boy who begged for death when Julian discovered him still alive. He’d been killed two times over, but he was still alive when Julian took him out past the city to dump the body. Initially, Julian’s motives were not entirely pure. Reuben was clearly something other, something powerful, something unkillable. Having a comfortable life was one thing, not dying was something else. Julian wanted it. 

He got Reuben out of Rome. It wasn't an easy thing to do, but his status as a soldier made it possible for the two of them to get out together. The road wasn’t easy either, proven by the attack that nearly left Julian for dead. That was exactly what he needed to convince Reuben to turn him. 

A freshly turned vampire, Julian had everything he wanted. All of eternity to achieve success. Instead, he stayed with Reuben. There was no reason for it other than the way that Reuben looked at him made him feel worthy of something for the first time in his life. Success suddenly sounded more like a smile from Reuben than money or comfort. They reached Hibernia, safety from Rome and while Reuben remade himself into Maerin, Julian threw his focus into giving them a good life. Maerin had become his success, as far as he was concerned. 

That being said, Maerin’s happiness was no easy thing to achieve. Some days it was the opportunity to work on an illuminated manuscript, other days it was a fist fight. Julian learned his moods, how to anticipate them, how to give Maerin what he needed. Somewhere along the way, ambition faded to survival. Ireland was a home of perpetual unrest, and hiding was sometimes the best they could do. Adrian and Elizabeth were the best thing to happen to them. They were both so full of life and it breathed some of that old ambition and life back into Julian. Him and Maerin remembered what it means to look for something more, to have hope for the future. They allowed themselves to be pried from the safety of Ireland and see what the world had become, even returned to Rome once to see what had become of their old home. 

Henrietta was always this unreachable thing though, something that Julian wanted but knew he had no claim over. It belonged to Adrian. When the invitation came, it took no time at all for him and Maerin to pack up. Henrietta called.

Character: Lincoln Shaw Species: Werewolf Age: 43 Gender: Male Pronouns: He/him Occupation: Pack Alpha/Logger By: Open

Biography

Lincoln Shaw has earned everything in life through hard work. Even his position as pack alpha was earned by killing the previous Alpha, instead of being passed down through generations as had been the way of the Swift River pack until he joined. When he first learned that he would be betrothed to McKenzie (Bailey), he wasn’t necessarily on board, he eventually came around when he saw the strong and capable woman she was growing up to be. A possessive man, he would never give up what he considered rightfully his, and as far as anyone in the pack was concerned. McKenzie was his. That hasn’t changed in the 5 years she has been missing. And he will get her back, no matter who he has to kill to do it. After all, he’s done it before.

Lincoln is your typical abusive guy, who everyone believes is a pillar of the community. A very Ted Bundy like vibe, he could charm the pants off a nun. He could get away with murder and has. Well-connected and intelligent.
