#agent jd

well you’re in luck because there are s e v e r a l. however! in the interest of not stepping on other peoples’ canons—because, after all, i’d love best to hear those stories from the agents who were there themselves—the tale i’m about to tell you features our darling boys and our token exorcist.

The elder goddess sat at her desk rubbing her head. So much had gone wrong that day, outside of a failed recovery mission that left the goddess in a wheel chair as well as some people dead and it was taking longer than normal to heal, the book was stolen. She placed her head on the desk feeling the tears form on her face. It was so frustrating, and she couldn’t talk to anyone so she hid herself away in the one room she hoped no one would look for her that was when the alarm went off.

‘SPECIAL AGENT ARCHIVIST YOU ARE NEEDED OUTSIDE HQ’ came over the intercom. She rushed in her chair to the area which is when she saw it. It had a fellow agent, one she wish she had of spoken to more instead of giving him the information on a creature and he left. The tendrils wrapping around his face and neck. She screamed, ‘NO!’ She moved a hand sending tens of tendrils to stop them, she could see the colour fading in his face as he was choked. She was then flung by the same monster. She growled laying on the ground fighting off the tendrils herself.

She managed to get up and run at the monster getting it to drop the agent. She caught the taller man and stumbled. She used her body as a shield the tendrils stabbing into her body causing her to cough up blood.  She felt tears falling down her face, ‘ Please… not…. Again. Wake up. Please… Agent.. J… D wake up…’ She said fearing it was to late as her familiars tore into the monster destroying it. She placed a hand on his cheek trying to summon up enough energy to hear a heart beat.

Agent Arizona Headcanons: with other agents

(Note: I know not everyone is in this post, I’m working on everyone don’t worry! They’ll go up once I feel I’ve done them justice <3)

-          Raziel is basically her twin, she probably spends the most time with her. Movie nights with her are one of her favourite things to do, they’d take turns picking movies. They can only watch happy movie though, Cass refuses to watch sad ones in fear of overwhelming her with emotions.

-          Cassiel is both fascinated and terrified of the ocean, she likes to spend time at the aquarium with Ondine learning as much as she can. Ondine is a great teacher, she’s very passionate, Cass loves that about her.

-          Zed is the little sibling she wish she’d had, she literally just wants to protect them. Secretly tries to make sure they get sent out as little as possible, for fear of them getting hurt. If unavoidable she will pester Phoenix into going with them.

-          She doesn’t know Judas very well but he seems nice. Cass spends a lot of time in the library working on her online classes, which would be how they really get to know each other. She wouldn’t tell him at first why she spends so much time down there, but eventually the conversation comes up and she admits that she isn’t a high school graduate. She thinks that he’s going to judge her for not being as “smart” as the rest of the agents. He doesn’t, instead offers to help with anything she may get stuck with.

-          Annabelle is the little sister she never had. Cass loves taking her on flights, she even lets her sit in the co pilots seat. One time Cass packed a lunch for them and took her for a picnic at a scenic hill side. Other agents pester her on how she got Annabelle to laugh, she lies and tells them that she’ll never reveal her secrets, but she doesn’t actually know what she did. She still aims to do it again.

-          JD is the dad of the group, Cass is no exception to the rule. Every time he tells her what to do, or to follow protocol, she’ll say “Okay, Dad.” At first, it’s sarcastic, she’s always sarcastic, but eventually she kind of means it. Would threaten his boyfriend if he asked, not that he’d really need her help, but she’s made it clear that no one can hurt “their (referring to all other agents as well as herself) dad”

-          Succubus is the big sister she never had, and always wanted. Don’t get her wrong, Cass loves her brother, but man having an older sister would have been great too! There’s so many things Cassiel has to learn, from makeup and hair, to relationship advice. Cass definitely thinks that Succubus could be a wee bit nicer when she asks for advice, but she learns to take it in stride and remember that Succubus still cares.

Since Roanoke is ever expanding, I added some of our new agents (plus some older ones I missed. Enjoy!

Jersey Devil (JD): Another person that is missing a chunk of their life? Annabelle would get along reasonably well with him. They could help each other with techniques for what to do when they remember something (Annabelle totally started keeping track of what she remembered in a journal, just like he does.) Come to think of it, JD, Nova, and Annabelle could start a club for people with missing chunks of personal history.

Phoenix: Annabelle is not very fond of immortals. She tends to keep away from him but when she can’t, she settles for staying at least out of reach. Immortals always hold so much emotional history/trauma that sometimes never get dealt with properly and she can’t handle being in the same room with all of that energy. She doesn’t know if he has a lot of emotional baggage, but she doesn’t really want to get close enough to find out.

Judas: Something about Judas intrigues her so much. (cough demon cough) She can feel that he’s suffering and that he’s try to repress it and she wants to help him. He probably doesn’t want her to get to close because I mean come on, Annabelle is such a cutie. So they both want to be around each other, but they kind of can’t be. Judas doesn’t want his demon coming out and Drake is very... Protective (read: territorial) of Annabelle. Though people being protective over her has never stopped her from doing things in the past.

Drake: Annabelle was very nervous around Drake at first. I mean, he was a cute boy, who was nice to her for like no reason, always tried to make her laugh, and always brought her coffee or candy. She wasn’t used to that! It took Succubus sitting her down and telling her that he likes her and explaining what it means to like a person (cue Anna modeling her relationship/romantic wants off of Rae and Harry) But once they finally get past their nerves, they are the cutest things. Although Drake is a bit territorial over her since he’s maybe payed a bit too much attention to Houdini’s drunken ramblings about how she has ‘wandering eyes’.

Mothman: Despite her close relationship with Specter, she’s not that close to Mothman. Maybe it’s because he looks intimidating to her? I mean, she’s not all that fond of people, guys specifically, that are really buff. Sentinel was a special case, but Mothman, even though he is an absolute sweetheart, just can’t seem to get close to her. Specter is trying to fix that though.

@agent-jd

in the interest of not stepping on others’ canons, i tried to keep these somewhat brief, fairly vague (and easily contestable, just in case). i love hearing canon from the agents’ themselves best, but before you go, there are a few things i like to think about…

- survival skills outside of relying on tech is a part of every agents’ training. with how often we’re tasked with tramping around deserts, mountains, coasts, it’s important to learn how to adapt and improvise with whatever materials you’ve got on hand. that is, everyone except iuniore, whom wendigo’s pretty insistent is not sent on missions into super rural areas, especially not alone. (“lil’ are you serious? she’s like barely four-eleven, what are you thinking? look, i could punt her across the yard right now, okay, she needs to stay close to home.”)

- naturally, some agents take this all on a bit better than others. seraphim and succubus are two of those agents, but they have the absolute worst luck out of the entire cast. if anything can go wrong, it’s going to go wrong when they’re the ones out camping. (“oh shut the f—oh, forget it, you’re right.”)

- on the flip side, the dynamic duo of the #devil bois, that is, jd and chimera? things fall into place for them so well on their missions outdoors that even lilith is impressed.

- whiskey may not be able to change appearance like houdini can, but he’s exceptionally adaptable when it comes to urban vs. rural environments. houdini—from what i recall—didn’t have the usual rough-and-tumble roanoke trial because she was with statesman, initially. but she’s still capable, still knowledgeable—whiskey taught her everything he could.

- lycan, similarly, didn’t really need a lot of survival training, having experience with taking care of herself out in the wilds of the world (obviously). it’s a well-known fact (“do you mean rumor or something?” “absolutely not.”) that she’s a good luck charm if you’re going out into the boonies. she can smell and see everything a lot of things you can’t, after all.

- everyone also knows that if you’re heading out more to relax and less for work, you always always go to the scribe downstairs. she knows all of the classic campfire stories, even ones not belonging to this century. she credits lilith with half.

- sprite’s main specialty is weaponry and defense, but she invented a laser pointer essentially for starting fires wherever you aim it. this is a fantastic invention, but the downside is that they’re roughly the length of a nail polish bottle and nearly impossible to keep track of. we started off with like ten and we’re down to six. where the other four went, who the fuck knows.

- specter’s been on enough trips with seance and crowley that she can safely tell you “i don’t—i don’t think they process temperature quite like mundane beings do.” cold? what’s that? hot? never met her! it’s hella convenient when shit happens way up north but it can be a little—unsettling to newer recruits.

- ondine’s been trying to figure out a way to, somehow, have a campout on the ocean floor. underwater. she hasn’t quite fit the mechanics together but damnit, there’s got to be a way!

- i wouldn’t say that agency camping trips are really a thing across the organization, since we’ve got to keep so many agents and officers around (you never know what could happen). but i will whole-heartedly endorse the idea of ‘family’ trips in the context of groups of people collectively asking for a long weekend to go into the mountains, or down to the beach, or into the dunes. rougarou, elfin, annabelle, hood and thorn take the absolute best group pictures on those trips, and seraphim knows because she sees them framed on desks, hung on walls. cherished.

- arizona and phoenix are also fans of getting out of dodge for a bit, but their activities to venture towards the uh—explicit. (oh, you two adventurous devils!)

- cherub’s one of the medical officers that tends to stay back around the estate, mostly out of a sharp loyalty to the people in the bay who she needs to watch over. but zed and roxy always bring her back a flower crown. turns out roxy’s an expert on flower weaving, who knew? she always insists on making them for zed (“you—make it feel like the sun’s in my chest, when i see you wear them, z.”). cherub magically preserves them so they stay just as fresh as when she got them.

- sentinel’s another agent that likes to bring back gifts. pressed flowers, crystals, herbs—his presents are all over archivist’s quarters. they help her pull through when he’s got to be out for weeks at a time.

- nova and charlie honestly have the most bizarre camping stories that i’ve ever heard. what do you mean there was a sandworm? you mean like in beetlejuice? wait were you somewhere like where beetlejuice is? is anyone surprised? anyone? no? okay, moving on.

- princess tilde’s not… a huge outdoors person. and pru is physically sturdy enough to withstand a lot of natural forces. but her visual feeds are full of flower gardens, white-painted gazebos and images that judas would easily describe as ‘aesthetically idyllic’—along with tilde’s unabashed grin. and pru decides that yes. this is just as wonderful. just as important. just as good.
