ℕ𝕒𝕞𝕖: Wyvern Burroughs 𝔹𝕚𝕣𝕥𝕙𝕕𝕒𝕪/𝔸𝕘𝕖: 18/10/1991 — 28 years old 𝕊𝕡𝕖𝕔𝕚𝕖𝕤: Demonspawn (he’s essentially a tiefling ok) ℍ𝕖𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥: 6′1  𝕊𝕖𝕩𝕦𝕒𝕝 𝕆𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕟𝕥𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟: Pansexual 𝔾𝕖𝕟𝕕𝕖𝕣/ℙ𝕣𝕠𝕟𝕠𝕦𝕟𝕤: Male — He/him 𝕆𝕔𝕔𝕦𝕡𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟 𝕚𝕟 𝔾𝕝𝕚𝕞𝕞𝕖𝕣𝕓𝕣𝕠𝕠𝕜: GBPD Detective

ℕ𝕚𝕔𝕜𝕟𝕒𝕞𝕖𝕤:

𝕎𝕪𝕝𝕚𝕖 — A shortened version of Wyvern he adopted very early on, introduces himself as this.

𝕃𝕚𝕥𝕥𝕝𝕖 𝕎𝕪𝕣𝕞 — His mother’s pet name for him.

𝔻𝕠𝕦𝕓𝕝𝕖 𝔻. — Stands for “Devil Detective”, his GBPD partner calls him this.

𝔽𝕦𝕟 𝕃𝕚𝕥𝕥𝕝𝕖 𝕋𝕚𝕕𝕓𝕚𝕥𝕤:

1. “No one can ever know I play the violin, all right?” — Wyvern plays the violin. In fact, he plays the violin quite well. His mother always had a fondness for human music, it was one of the only aspects of their culture she could appreciate. After trialling piano, guitar, and a brief stint with the harp, Wyvern stuck with the violin and took lessons at his mother’s behest well in to his late teens. He still plays sometimes, it’s very melancholy when he does.

2. “I promise, I’m not as scary as I look.” — Wyvern starts almost every conversation with the “Demon Disclaimer,” a spiel about how he isn’t going to devour your soul or curse you for eternity. Even in Glimmerbrook, where supernatural creatures are abundant, he likes to make sure. It’s also one of the reasons he decided to join the police force, so that he could be seen to be doing good. It took a long time to earn that trust and the badge that came with it though, he had the longest officer internship of anyone in GBPD’s history.

3. “There’s no way I’m missing the midnight viewing.” — Wyvern is a bit of a huge movie nerd. He’ll watch any genre so long as it’s well-written and creatively shot, but his favourites lie with 80′s horror classics and cheesy 90′s car chase scenes. He’s also been known to enjoy the odd romantic-comedy when the mood strikes him, but will boast that he can predict them scene-for-scene. That being said, the ending of La La Land made him cry like a little bitch. Didn’t see that one coming, huh Wylie?   

4. “There’s a line where the sea meets the sky, it calls me— I’m joking.” — Cheesy Moana reference aside, Wyvern has a bad case of wanderlust. He’s been in Glimmerbrook all his life, and he’s always wanted to see more of the world... but why leave the place you’ve worked so hard to make your home? He's terrified of being met with rejection if he were to so much as dip his toes in adventure. A demonspawn can’t just stroll down any old street, or so he believes. His self-doubt is quiet, but boy oh boy, it’s real.

5. “Just five more minutes, okay?” — Wyvern loves nothing more than his bed. He has to set at least five alarms to get up in the morning, just so he can snooze them all and then leap out of bed with ten minutes to spare. He’s been known to doze at his desk in the precinct on quiet days, and sleep well in to the late afternoon on his days off. Attempts to instil healthier habits with morning jogs, fridge planners and social outings have all done little to help him.  

6. “No, no. It’s not me that you want.”— Wyvern has had very limited romantic interactions throughout his life. Well, he’s had very limited meaningful romantic interactions. Though the man’s not shy of the old Netflix and chill by any stretch of the imagination, he more-often-than-not never lets anything progress past that point. That fear of rejection kicks in every single time: who could love a demonspawn? He’s had one serious relationship in the past, and it ended with him breaking it off when things were getting too real.

7. “Hey, I got us a round of tequila!”— Maybe it’s the demonic genes, but Wyvern can drink. As much as he enjoys a cold pint with his partner after work, he also enjoys slamming back Sambuca shots and ending the night asleep on the beach. He’s an incredibly volatile drunk. Fiercely protective of his social group, but also quick to misunderstand the conversation and take offence. Any issues are usually remedied with hugs and drawling “I love you guys.” 

𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕀𝕞𝕡𝕠𝕣𝕥𝕒𝕟𝕥 ℚ𝕦𝕖𝕤𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟𝕤

➊ ℍ𝕠𝕨 𝕕𝕚𝕕 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕞𝕖𝕖𝕥 ℂ𝕝𝕒𝕣𝕪? “Oh, it was really lame. We were in the general store, and she did that thing, you know. She was in front of me in the queue, but I only had a coffee to pay for, and she had a whole bunch of stuff... so, she let me go first. Real sweet of her. We talked about the weather a little, she said my coffee smelt good. I remember, she said it was a little too late in the day for her to be having coffee, but she really fancied one now. I've never wanted to give up my coffee to someone more than I did then.”

➋ 𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕨𝕒𝕤 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕤𝕥 𝕚𝕞𝕡𝕣𝕖𝕤𝕤𝕚𝕠𝕟 𝕠𝕗 ℂ𝕝𝕒𝕣𝕪? “She was like a breeze, you know? I forgot I had horns and yellow eyes for a second. Her hair was kind of messy like she’d had a busy afternoon, and there were loads of fresh fruit in her shopping cart, she was like this slice of wholesome. Normally new people in Glimmerbrook terrify me, but not her.”  

➌ 𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕚𝕤 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕚𝕕𝕖𝕒𝕝 𝕕𝕒𝕥𝕖? “I like doing something a little silly, because I think if you can’t be silly with someone, then you’re doomed. Karaoke is my favourite first date — we don’t even have to go up and sing! But just in that easy-going environment, having a laugh, shouting over the tone-deaf performers because we'd rather fight the music than not have a conversation, you know?”

➍ 𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥'𝕤 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕚𝕕𝕖𝕒𝕝 𝕣𝕖𝕝𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟𝕤𝕙𝕚𝕡? “Effortlessness. I know that sounds daft, because all good things need to be worked for, and all that jazz... but I think my ideal relationship would be something so natural and easy, that we forget we have to work at it even when times get tough. Just having someone to reach— equilibrium with, you know? I know it takes time to get to that point, but I just want to know that it’s possible. It would be so worth waiting for.”

“Bonus points for someone who doesn’t mind kicking my ass out of bed in the morning.”

➎ 𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥'𝕤 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕡𝕖𝕣𝕤𝕠𝕟𝕒𝕝𝕚𝕥𝕪 𝕝𝕚𝕜𝕖? “Oh boy, all right. I have some serious trust issues, but not for lack of trying to resolve them. I can’t help but view everybody around me with a sort of air of uncertainty, and I suppose that makes me come off a little standoffish. It’s just that I so badly want people to have a positive opinion of me, that I spend the majority of my time being terrified that they don’t. I swear, I’m going to drive myself mad with it one day.”

“I’ve been told I use humour as a defence mechanism. Whenever the conversation is stilted, or I sense any kind of awkwardness: I’ll crack a joke. If someone asks me a serious question, or how I am: I’ll crack a joke. It’s second-nature at this point, and I swear it’s stemmed from wanting to make people smile. It also helps with the whole detective shtick, but that’s besides the point.”

𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞: noah graves 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐝𝐚𝐲/𝐚𝐠𝐞: 02/18/1993 — 27 years old 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬: boringly human (?) 𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭: 6′1″ 𝐬𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: bisexual 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫/𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐬: male — he/him 𝐨𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐤: artist — owns a little corner shop where he sells his paintings. his opening hours are as erratic as his sleeping schedule. 𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬: everyone calls him by his last name — he’s pretty sure no one knows his first name & kinda likes it that way.

𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐝𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬:

1. “I see faces.” — noah is a child of a clairvoyant mother. while he doesn’t see visions of the future, he does see faces. faces of people he’s never met before. they come in flashes, but he remembers & paints every single one of them, where eventually, he hangs their canvas in his shop to sell. sometimes he’ll spend all night sketching, painting faces until his fingers go numb or collapses at his desk.

2. “To keep my heart on my sleeve.” — when noah was 22, he fell desperately in love with a man who he thought he’d spend the rest of his life with. they had plans of moving to the city, getting an apartment together, had talked about getting married - the whole nine yards. when the time came - noah waited. and waited. his life was packed in two duffle bags and a box. and all he got was a text - ‘sorry.’ from that day on, noah was never really the same, but he vowed that it would never happen again. when he’s in relationships, he keeps his heart on his sleeve in hopes of finding someone who does, too - so even when he gets hurt, he knows he laid everything out on the table.

3. “Um... what time is it?” — noah has really bad sleeping habits. an insomniac, for official terms. there are days where he’ll only sleep for a couple of hours, other days, none at all. but he loves the nights in glimmerbrook, so it’s not all that bad. you can often catch him on the beach, watching the stars when he can’t fall asleep.

3. “Ten seconds on the clock!” — when he’s not painting or going on walks, he’s in the kitchen! he thinks he’s not that bad of a cook (but honestly, noah would eat ANYTHING). his favorite thing is desserts.

➊ 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐲? “uh - well - it’s a weird story. i own the art shop in the corner of town. i paint faces - but faces i’ve never seen before - ugh, it’s a long story. but i spent all night painting this one face. i kept seeing her, over and over in my head, so i had to get it out of my system. and then - then the next day, she walks in. clary. and i think i spooked the socks off her. i mean - what kinda weirdo has a 7 foot painting of a person they’ve never even met before? ... oh god i hope she doesn’t think i’m a weirdo.”

➋ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐲? “stunned. and... intrigued. you have to understand - the faces i see... i’ve never met them. seen them before. and then - and then clary walks in and everything i thought i knew just... is gone.”

➌ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞? “i’m up for anything, really! would love to do something active, like going for a bike ride or go hiking. there’s some awesome spots in glimmerbrook i’ve found while wandering but... don’t tell the tourists.”

➍ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩? “wow, uh, that’s a hard question. i guess... i guess one where i can look at them and get the instant feeling of ‘i’m home.’”

➎ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞? “i’m straight forward. i really hate bullshit. i think it’s because i’ve seen so many relationships crumble because they kept tip-toeing around their issues until it exploded in their faces - especially my parents’ relationship. it’s just really important to me to be honest and say how i feel in the moment.”

“I’m pretty adventurous as well. my job requires me to be stuck in one place for hours. i need to be active or else my stomach is gonna block my view, haha.”

𝐅𝐮𝐧 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐓𝐢𝐝𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬:

she’s adopted and has 3 siblings that are all aliens – she found it very hard to fit in when she was a child.

dream job when she was young was astronaut, but she never did too well with science, so she’ll just wait for commercialised spaceflight to be a thing.

she was quite a player in her early twenties while at university – possibly a leftover from her sometimes lonely childhood as a way of personal rebellion

however, she’s not really cut out for that life and is tired of the emotional toll it took on her, she really just wants to settle down with someone who she has a strong emotional connection with.

crybaby – cries at everything – happy crying, sad crying, angry crying- especially movies… but at least shes a quiet crier!

she loves hearing people’s stories – part of why she loves owning her store so much, chatting (the books at the back still haven’t been sorted after two years because shes too busy chatting, tut tut)

addicted to coffee – she has a coffee set-up at her store and makes it for everyone that comes in

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬

➊ 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐲? she’s a regular at my shop! guess she really likes reading or something? she comes in at least once a week to browse through the new arrivals, and it may or may not be the highlight of my day.

➋ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐲? she first came in when I was having a very rough day, a few days after I first moved to glimmerbrook, so I was not excited about having another customer very close to the end of working hours. I just wanted to go to the little room i was renting and cry my eyes out over a tray of homemade brownies. however, she picked up one of my favourite books and gave me the sweetest smile while chatting that, let’s just say, my day was a lot brighter after that. also, she drank her coffee black and shes the only person other than me in that store that even dares to do that so, she’s kinda special.

➌ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞? i really enjoy calm quality time. anything like going to a café to chat, exploring an art gallery or going for a long drive at the beach. i have had my fair share of wild times, and that lifestyle really gets tiring after a while, let me tell you. later on in a relationship, i honestly just love staying home and getting takeout to eat while being maybe too competitive over board games.

➍ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩? well, I haven’t had a serious relationship that lasted more than a few months, like, ever. i guess i have been unlucky in the partner department, but i also think i wasn’t very clear about what i wanted either. i really want a caring, open partner. i am a massive cuddler so that is definitely a requirement. i need a relationship that is a two way street – we both feel open and comfortable to share our worries, concerns and aspirations. a relationship is all about supporting one another through thick and thin, but that can only happen if your partner knows what youre going through.

➎ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞? uh oh, i really dislike talking about myself, but i guess i can give this a shot. i wont lie, i’m quite insecure. i have definitely gained a lot more confidence than i had when i was younger but, there’s still a long way to go. i have always been very inclined to hide aspects of myself by putting on a loud persona but, lately, that has gotten very exhausting so I’m ready to let it go. i also love helping people – i can get lost in my head sometimes and nothing helps me out as much as listening to somebody else’s problems and getting invested in trying to help them. its why i love running my store so much, it gives me a chance to talk to so many people and, at least for a few hours, find some solace from my loneliness.
