⟩ FATHER cassidy nathaniel laplante. ( " cassie " ) ⟩ MOTHER iris arabella laplante ( " bella " ). ( nee de luna ) ⟩ SIBLINGS marabella jade laplante ( " mar " ) . ( five years chris' junior ) ⟩ PETS none. but he had a cat once growing up. ⟩ ENTITIES 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒍𝒖𝒆 𝒗𝒆𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝒘𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒏 ( read stand-in for hekate ) ; she is often gentle, nurturing , comforting , healing . chris is never fearful of her & if he'd surrender willingly to an entity , it would be her . 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒌 𝒇𝒊𝒈𝒖𝒓𝒆 ( stand-in for abaddon ) is a male-essence dark figure which looms & feeds from pain , both physical or psychological . its sole purpose is to cause suffering . chris often sees "him" as a tall , menacing shadow , with shades of dark red . 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒗𝒊𝒍𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆 ( stand-in for abalam ) , always talking , proding , pestering , infecting what it can. it knows how to feign friendliness but there is something off. something bigger behind it. like a trap. chris can’t quite see it clearly , but it feels like a farce. a costume. a mask. like a puppet trying to lure him into the mouth of a hungry beast. as it should. the marionette is simply trying to convince him , befriend him. to have him fall for it. the marionette works in the behest of the darkness. that is the only way chris can describe it. 𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕯𝖆𝖗𝖐𝖓𝖊𝖘𝖘 ( stand-in for paymon ) is foreboding. like a curtain that falls from behind a backdrop to uncover the monster that has been posing as a gutted-out carcass of an abandoned building. but it breathes. it watches. it smells of decay & it has you. the moment it touches you you are tainted. chris can hear its starving rumble , a low guttural growl. something savage. something hungry. like a storm that’s brewing. something that’s been watching its prey , learning its movements before it could even walk. chris cannot describe it as an entity , or a shadow , nor a shape. the darkness is an infection. a disease. & it feels like a watchful heavy mantle. like a cloud of smoke that swallows him whole before he can even see it coming in the horizon. but it’s there. chris knows it. it’s always been there. looming. waiting. waiting for surrender.

chris' father is infamous in their hometown ( riverton , ma ) . posthumously , through the years , the man has been suspected of multiple disappearances & deaths. as per the law , no charges can be posthumously attributed to him. but what is certain , what did happen , were the events that which transpired the day the man died. this is what he is infamous for. chris had recently been becoming sick. with little to no appetite , increasing night terrors , hearing & seeing things ( attributed to his lack of sleep ). he'd also become prone to hurting himself , showing bruises & cuts / scratches he didn't remember getting. on this day , with a running fever , his father stayed home with him while his mother took his little sister to school ( pre-k , she was three , chris was eight ). he can only remember unclear bits from that day. he’d heard his father arguing with someone downstairs. the boy had slowly started to make his way to the stair rail when his father stopped him on his tracks. although he tried to hide it , there were tears in the man's eyes. this scared chris. his father rushed him back to his room , took him to the boy's closet & urged him , made him promise he’d stay in his closet until his mother came to get him. asked him not to come out no matter what he heard or saw. & before closing the door , his father sat him in the corner , took a last look at the boy , kissed his head & took the boy's hands to his ears. the man said something chris no longer remembers & closed the closet door to disappear forever. the boy closed his eyes & the rest is gone from his memory ( until college! ). when his mother came home , she found her husband hanging from the chandelier above the foot of the stairs. the boy was still hiding in his closet upstairs. hands over ears , eyes tightly shut , humming to himself . his father's death was ruled a suicide , despite the questioning evidence. it was only him & his father at home when it happened. a sick , feverish boy , hiding in a closet , was hardly a reliable witness to whatever happened. if he saw or remembered anything at all ( he remembers more than he's willing to admit , nowadays , but his mother never pressed & she made sure no one else did ). years later , amongst his father's belongings , there were journals which depicted answers to many unsolved deaths & missing persons' cases covering the span of nearly two decades. written , was a play-by-play of said atrocities , in all its gruesome , obscene glory. but these could not be connected to chris' father. instantly , on a lack of matching handwriting. these appeared to be in someone else's writing. only in chris' father's possession. as far as anyone could tell , his father did not know of the journals' existence himself. unbeknownst to chris , his father had been battling w / schizophrenia ( & perhaps a myriad of other challenges he never had the chance to discover from the man himself ). & though it never put anyone at risk , throughout the years , self proclaimed experts have attributed a lot of terrible & sad things to his father's plaguing diagnoses. including his death ( some dare to extend this to chris' sickly demeanor that day ). nowadays , chris isn't all that sure his father ever stood a chance nor was diagnosed correctly.

THE TRUTH: chris' father was plagued by demons. spirits. ghosts. apparitions. entities. specters. he had been his whole life. this was misdiagnosed as schizophrenia ( some argued , in a cooccurrence w / dissociate identity disorder ) & he had to deal with a life full hospital stays & horrors at every corner. in time , he was able to manage a near-normal life , as he met chris' mother. but when chris was eight , he began to notice a sudden clarity. began to be able to take a step back & regain some sense of self. he was able to observe the strange things around himself ( & now his family ). when he realized his young son was showing familiar signs of something slowly creeping up on him ( the injuries , the so-called hallucinations ) , he knew it was only a matter of time before he'd be plagued & tormented like he was. when things worsened , discovering an unforgivable possibility he could not fathom ( the journals ) , he made the choice to take a stand & stop whatever was trying to take his child. choosing to end the cycle of torment.

WHAT CHRIS KNOWS: after showing signs of obsessive thinking in art class, during his senior year of high school ( compulsively creating dark, repulsive pieces he was sent to the school's counselor for ), his mother finally opened up about his father's history & alleged suicide . she had been apprehensive to speak about the events that took place that day, thinking they would hurt his son more than it would help. this is when she began to change her mind. while this brought him & his mother closer, it also revealed that the things he'd begun to experience could be explicable, after all ( he'd taken to a ouija board, as he'd seen in the movies, thinking- hoping, he could somehow contact his father, perhaps it was him who was trying to get his attention ). this was when he decided to talk to his mother about the things he'd been experiencing; the whispers, the tapping, knocking, the scratching at the walls & floors. the bruises, the cuts & scratches. it didn't take long before he began to question the medical perspective & what had happened to his father. this is when the blocked memories began a floodgate & came crashing down on him. chris now is skeptical of his diagnoses, his father's diagnoses & everything he once thought was impossible. what he sees, what he hears, it's all real .

FIRST ! chris is loosely based on an early draft gerard way had of 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖘𝖊𝖆𝖓𝖈𝖊 ( klaus hargreeves ) from the umbrella academy . as seen in  ʟɪꜰᴇ ᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴜʀᴅᴇʀ ꜱᴄᴇɴᴇ , this early draft had klaus contact dead superheroes & allow them to possess him in order to obtain their superpowers. being less of a superhero fan & more of a horror fan , i simply swapped the dead superheroes w/ demons. this idea fueled by music by spiritbox & ghost ( & horror films ) .

USUAL ETIQUETTE y'know. i read your rules, you read mine. i'll randomly tag you to things. opens & memes are for mutuals only. don't assume a connection / ship between our muses. every thread is a different universe unless previously discussed. open to plotting & alt verses. no minors, pls & thnk. i'm way too old for this shit ( literally, thirty-plus five ) but i don't write smut ; we can do time-skips / fade-to-black. all that stuff. etc. lastly. be nice, don't be a dick. otherwise i'll be forced to be a dick back & i'm better at it than you. so, pls.

IF YOUR MUSE IS... not partial to the supernatural or paranormal or any of that stuff (ghosts, demons, etc), i have a very simple cheat code to interact with chris. they can treat him as if he truly is mentally ill. just as people do in the canon i have for him. if he sees something, hears something, your muse does not have to experience the same. in fact, you are more than welcomed to rationalize it and argue it with him. now, IF YOUR MUSE IS of the criminal nature, read THIS.
