HEADCANONS

trigger warnings: mental illness, suicide, violence

― Izzy’s mother is Spanish and was a dancer in her former life before she met Ronan Samson: arms dealer and Isabelle’s notable father. The two lovebirds got hitched after only a couple months of dating and then eventually migrated back to Ronan’s hometown in Houston, TX.

― The Samson’s come from old money and are notorious for their craftsmanship. Ronan learned everything he knew about building and creating firearms from his father and late grandfather. He mostly deals weapons to the military, black ops, and black market buyers. It’s a dangerous profession but one he takes great pride in.

― When Isabelle was just a baby, Paloma (Isabelle’s mother) was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Her symptoms seemed to worsen overtime and although there were small bouts of hope for her remission, her mental illness only seemed to escalate the more Ronan tried to keep it a secret. Both, from the public and from Isabelle herself. However, there were many times growing up where Isabelle had become a victim of her own mother’s delusional violence. From being strangled to nearly drown in a pool, Isabelle never understood the depths her mother would go to just to see the light go out in her eyes. She was convinced her daughter was the devil and anyone who tried to convince her otherwise, including Ronan (Isabelle’s father) was a trickster or demon.

― At the ripe age of 13, Isabelle’s mother committed suicide. She shot herself in the face with Ronan’s own firearm and instead of Ronan discovering the body himself, Izzy did. For months following the accident, Izzy was put under strict surveillance to monitor her behavior as doctors checked her for traumatic signs. Fortunately, for Izzy she managed to block out the gruesome scene and has hardly ever talked about it since. Any time she does or it’s brought up again, the instance recurs again in her nightmares and haunts her days on end afterwards until she’s able to compartmentalize again. It’s a whole bag of worms, she’d rather keep locked up and hidden away if she can.

― For most of her life, Izzy was sheltered and kept locked inside the Samson estate. She was homeschooled until she entered High school. Where she lived a relatively normal life, with the addition of a body guard attached to her at all times. Her life to general people would seem unconventional and weird and for them, it is. But, it’s all she knows.

― Isabelle met Killian when two friends of hers dragged her to an audition to become reapers and employees at Killian’s club, The House. Their first encounter was brief at best and if weren’t for Isabelle coming back to bargain with Killian for her friend’s jobs, she might have never become his queen. If it weren’t for Benjamin Caruso (the reaper’s canary) she wouldn’t know or have the life and repertoire she now does with the reapers. She’s been dating Killian for roughly 6 months and has vastly grown more and more into herself; a queen and woman destined to lead her people -- the depraved and wicked men and women who call themselves reapers.

― If you’ve read the reapers page then you know part of the reapers initiation, is gaining the queen’s (in this case it’s Izzy’s) trust. Izzy has this innate and borderline supernatural ability to detect another person’s lies, almost like an intuition. It’s one of her best skills and assets. And is the one thing that Killian has always admired and treasured and was even impressed by after meeting and getting to know her so he relies on it, as well as her.

WANTED CONNECTIONS

― HANDMAIDEN/SECRET KEEPER - Similar to a right hand man, this person would be Izzy’s right hand woman. Someone who Izzy grooms in her image and confides in with all her secrets. They could be a reaper or just someone who works closely with them, who Izzy trusts and vouches for but also protects. Sort of like a sister?

― REAPERS - I’d love to have all sorts of varying relationships with Izzy and her fellow reapers. Whether she loves some, mutually tolerates them, or straight up despises them. Although, at the end of the day, she is still their queen and is to be treated with the utmost respect. (As obviously, Killian would tolerate nothing less)

- BEST FRIEND - I’d love to have Izzy’s best friend. This is someone Izzy has an underlying rivalry with. They’ve been best friends for years but instead of this person becoming Killian’s Queen. Izzy got the job instead and since that moment there’s been some seed of resentment. (In previous headcanons and mentions of this character, I also said that she has dated the same guys Izzy has and at one point she was sleeping with Izzy’s dilf father but that’s totally UTP. I’d probably submit this as a more in-depth wanted connection so if anyone is interested in taking up another character, you could always message me about this.)

Character: ― CHARLOTTE ‘‘LOTTIE’‘ BAKER. Faceclaim: ― LILY JAMES. Age/Pronouns: ― 26. SHE/HER Hometown/District: ― HOUSTON, UPPER SPRINGS.

Headcanons: ―

The daughter of a Texan Senator, Lottie is definitely very privileged. She lives in Upper Springs, in a home that is essentially a mansion and it’s worlds away from the difficult world brewing because of the gangs. Yet she is still very much involved, because her Father is a huge benefactor to the Reapers and his political ties have given them an even wider influence. Gary Baker doesn’t get his hands dirty now he has a seat in the senate but he’s a big supporter of the gang in any way he can do. As a result, Lottie and her Brother inherited that loyalty as well.

Lottie is a journalist for the local daily newspaper in Houston. This is her way of working for the gang too, because she makes sure she reports on the dangerous activities undertaken by the Lycans but definitely downplays things caused by the Reapers. Sometimes bending the truth makes her feel uncomfortable, but she would never betray her family.

However, her role in the gang has recently changed. She was assigned the task of seducing a member of the Lycans to gather information on them, and she did so, but she certainly didn’t expect to end up developing feelings for Chris so now things are even more complicated. Currently, Chris has no idea that Lottie is a member of the Reapers, let alone aware that she initially approached him for information and she desperately wants to keep it that way, but she also doesn’t want the gang to realise she’s developed true feelings for him either. It’s like living a triple life and increasingly difficult for her.

Wanted Connections: ―

Her brother. Charlotte’s brother is pretty high up in the Reaper Hierarchy, potentially a canary reaper or a foot soldier and the Baker family has had ties to the gang for a long time. Their Father is a Texan Senator, a high ranking politician who would never publicly be seen to get involved with such gang activities and instead helps out from the sidelines, usually with funding and making sure the law doesn’t affect them. Because of this, it was basically their birthright to become members, though Lottie has mostly stayed away from the nitty-gritty parts of the gang while her brother has embraced it. She adores her brother, I see them having a really good relationship and being protective over each other but she definitely resents him in some way for being the golden child. But how he deals with the pressure of being the golden son and being in the gang would be so awesome to explore.

The ex lover. The older man. The scandalous affair. Probably the first man Lottie loved. About 14 months ago, she met and fell in love with a man who was definitely never going to love her back. He was completely emotionally unavailable and it was probably the typical girl meets broken boy and wants to fix said boy, but that was never going to happen. It started as a casual fling, with Lottie telling herself that she was absolutely fine with that because the sex was amazing, but it soon evolved into something just a little bit more. Just as she was convinced she’d fallen in love and things began to get real, he dumped her because he wasn’t prepared for any kind of commitment. It hurt, a lot, and she’s still pretty pissed about it even if she has moved on.

Her best friend.  Honestly, I just love all the friendships and want them all. Lottie’s a high society kind of girl because of her family but given her connections to the gang, I’d love her to have a friend who is the exact opposite to her.

Character: ― Killian Steele Faceclaim: ― Chris Wood Age/Pronouns: ―  25. He / His Hometown/District: ― Born and raised in Upper Springs. Works out of Red Line.

HEADCANONS

― Killian appears to be charming, but he is covertly hostile and domineering — he sees people as mere instruments to be used. He gets off on dominating and humiliating people. A lot of his tendencies are considered that of a sociopath, including: superficial charm, lack of remorse, and pathological lying. He often confuses a lot of his emotions for this and that, but what it really dwindles down to is a need for stimulation. He doesn’t just live on the edge, he dives the fuck over it.

— He’s a huge fan of making himself laugh, usually at other’s expense. When he’s not killing people, he’s joking about it.

— He owns a pet shark, in which he named after the angel of death, Azrael. He also has two doberman named Hannibal and Lecter. Yes, he’s a huge fan of horror movies. His favorite being the SAW series.

— Although they say a sociopath is incapable of love, Killian definitely feels something for his Queen, Isabelle Samson. She’s the only person who can make him feel out of control while being okay with it. He trusts her more than anyone on this earth. Even more than himself at times. This doesn’t necessarily protect her from his explosive tantrums, but it does protect her from death and bodily harm — by him, and anyone else who dares threaten his queen. He’d murder an entire city for her. He’d set the world on fire if meant keeping her warm. Isabelle brings out a different side of him, the side he thought he killed with his father…The side that’s vulnerable, which makes him afraid of her, yet also protective… as if to preserve his last shred of humanity.

— Killian lives in a castle hidden behind wrought-iron gates in Upper Springs, which had been passed down from his late-grandfather Edgar Steele; the original king of the reapers.

— His domain is a nightclub in Red Line called The House of the Reapers aka The House. Killian is here 90 percent of the time. It’s a house of sin, really. From a hallway of escorts to a fight club in the basement, there’s never a dull night at the House. But if you’re not a reaper, tread carefully. As fun as the underworld may seem, one wrong move will get you a first-class ticket to purgatory aka Tombstone City — the reapers’ very own underground prison. Located behind the club, under the warehouse where they store all their contraband.  

WANTED CONNECTIONS

Reapers / employees: Of course what’s a King without his people! Most Reapers work for Killian inside his club, but not all of them have to. However, there are a lot of positions for them at his infamous nightclub “House of the Reapers”. Escorts, exotic dancers, bartenders, security, hostesses, etc. Then of course he has people who work outside of the club. Sicarios, drug runners, informants, etc.

Lycans / enemies: Whether you’re a Lycan or someone who’s been double-crossed by Killian, chances are you’ll have to get in line for payback. But be careful, that line could turn into a hit-list. Killian doesn’t take threats lightly.

name: devyn reyes

faceclaim: odette annable

age/pronouns: thirty-three (33) & she/her

occupation: part-time mechanic/part time receptionist/office clerk at her father’s mechanic shop

hometown/district: born & raised in houston, texas. she grew up in great heights with her parents and currently lives there in a house with her daughter.

HEADCANONS.

only child of her two loving parents, grew up in houston in a lovely house in great heights and for all intents and purposes had a very normal upbringing. even from a young age, devyn wanted to get out of houston and see the world and so, school was a big thing for her because her life goals were college & travel... until she met the man who would eventually become her husband.

devyn and myles met after devyn accidentally rear ended myles’s car and somehow in the midsts of an argument over who was at fault, devyn agreed to go on a date with him. from then on the two were inseparable and devyn was head over heels in love. the two of them planned to to gradaute and see the world together until they found out that devyn was pregnant. both of their parents were furious and it only got worse when they found out that on top of being pregnant, devyn and myles had also secretly gotten married. unfortunately, devyn wound up miscarrying the baby, but she & myles still decided to remain together and married and after graduation, peaced tf out of houston.

the two traveled together for years, all over the world and they were happy as clams to do so. eventually, devyn found out she was pregnant again and that’s when they decided to return home to houston and devyn’s parents helped them buy a house and nine months later, their daughter ryder was born. it was a huge change going from being able to drop whatever and go whenever they wanted to having a kid but myles and devyn somehow managed to make it all work.

while devyn stayed home with ryder, myles was out working. she started getting suspicious of what exactly myles was doing for work when he started bringing in lots and lots of cash but was always out very late and when he was home he wasn’t really all there. devyn eventually found out about her husband’s affiliation with the reapers and was initially incredibly pissed off but at the end of the day chose to support him and believe him when he said it would all be okay.

spoiler alert: it wasn’t. devyn always would wait up for myles to make sure he was home safe and one night he just didn’t come home. it’s been six months since myles disappeared and no one seems to have any leads and his body hasn’t been discovered, but devyn doesn’t have much hope left that he’s still alive. since myles’s disappearance, she’s started working at her father’s mechanic shop to get some sort of money flow, even though myles left behind more than enough to keep devyn and ryder comfortable. she’s sad af that her husband is gone and even though she’s pretty positive he’s dead, she hasn’t given up trying to find him.

WANTED RELATIONSHIPS.

brother/sister-in-law/husband’s best friend that’s like a brother/sister: This relationship has been the one thing keeping Devyn from imploding in on herself since Myles’s disappearance. Whether this person is involved with the Reapers or just someone who has always been apart of their lives, either one works. They’re relationship is as close to family as it gets, essentially.

devyn’s former best friend: Again, gender doesn’t matter. Outside of Myles, this was Devyn’s person, through thick and thin. Timeline, I imagine they’ve been friends since they were in diapers. The catalyst for what ended their friendship was when Devyn confessed to them what Myles had been doing with the Reapers. Now, there’s two ways this could go: 1, unknown to Devyn, her best friend was involved with the Lycans and was like ‘yikes, now this is a problem’ and basically just ended the friendship there or 2, they’re very, very much against the gangs and is genuinely upset that Devyn was supporting this.

babysitter/nanny/caretaker: Despite Myles leaving behind a substantial sum of money in their joint banking account, Devyn doesn’t have the luxury of being a stay-at-home mother anymore. This person can be a neighbor, someone who just works at the daycare Ryder goes to, etc. Whenever Devyn is in a pinch for childcare, this is the person who often times will step up and Devyn is endlessly appreciative.
