OPEN || TAKEN

I told you, I can’t die ||

Being an older brother was not what he had always wanted to be. But it was definitely something he was meant for. Growing up, he was always given the responsibility of looking after his little sister, Emily. While he wanted to go out and have fun with his friends, he always had to let his sister tag along. This was never a problem for them. Thatchery was always happy to have his baby sister with him. But as he grew older it became more about freedom and he was left to feel like he was nothing more than a glorified baby sitter. His parents would always tell him “well you’re her brother” and “she wants to be with you”. Both of which were true but as a teen boy he felt more like a service to them than their actual son. After all, he spent more time parenting Emily than they ever had since she was born. Which was why when she went missing in the middle of the night, he felt responsible.

Thatchery was able to track her down by the sound of the Sanderson sister’s voice. But when he got there it was too late. Emily was drained and they were young and beautiful. Angry and filled with nothing but regret, he attacked them. He knew full well that this wouldn’t bring Emily back but it was enough to make them pay for what they did to her and every other child in Salem. They were too much for him to handle and Thatchery was turned into a black cat. Cursed to return to this cat form once the moon was in the night sky every night. But as time went on he realized that that wasn’t the end of his curse. As he watched his parents and every one around him age and slowly die, he realized that they had also cursed him to age as slowly as he had felt he arrived to save Emily.

Two hundred years and still searching for a cure or something that could at the very least put an end to the Sandersons. But nothing had worked and now he comes to a stand still. Getting his PhD and working as a Vet Tech for as long as he could manage no one to wonder why he never seemed to get any older despite several birthdays passing. By the fifth year, Thatchery would move and find a new city to live in. Though with every city in his realm already having housed him... it was time to move realms completely. Now he finds himself in the middle of a war stricken realm by the name of Portus Cale where he refuses to let anything else happen to the residents.

He loathes their existence and will fight to his eventual death trying to bring them to theirs.

Based on Victor Van Dort from The Corpse Bride

OPEN || TAKEN

I like your enthusiasm ||

A family of good money it wasn’t hard to see that he was wealthy. Women from all sorts of places flocked to prove themselves to the Van Dort boy. But he was uninterested. Victor would rather spend his time getting to know his significant other and playing piano. He wanted to find his true love and spend every available moment getting to know them. Doing things that they both liked rather than being forced into an unhappy marriage. There was one girl, however, that made his heart pound. She was sweet and beautiful and everything that Victor adored in a woman. They seemed to really connect and bond. They seemed so perfect for one another. However, his happily ever after was short lived as on the eve of their wedding...she ran away. Eloped and disappeared with another man. Leaving a heartbroken and depressed Victor to wonder what had went wrong.

As he got older his parents pressed that he needed to find a wife. They claimed that he was too picky and that he simply needed to settle as they had. The very thought of not even remotely liking his future wife made him sick to his stomach. But he begrudgingly agreed to his parents terms. A year or two later he was informed that they had found the perfect little lady. Her name was Victoria and she came from a once wealthy family herself. Though just how poor she was they were unaware. While he agreed to meet her, Victor still protested that he wanted to at the very least like his significant other. His parents shook their heads at him and reminded him that he had agreed to this before hand. With a sigh, he hung his head and introduced himself to her. She was a woman after his own heart and it didn’t take very long for him to grow fond of her.

But on the eve that they were to get married he ruined their vows. Their priest declared that until he mastered his vows that he would never be ready to marry. Distraught, Victor went into the woods and practiced and practiced and practiced. Finally, he got them down. Placing the ring on a nearby tree branch that stuck out. Only it wasn’t a tree branch...it was the finger of a corpse. Out from the earth sprouted an elegant looking young woman by the name of Emily. While he learned her devastating tale he was still terrified of her and what everyone would say, do and think of her. So, in order to save them both he told her he needed to go back up to the living world and talk to his parents. In reality, Victor was going to talk to Victoria. But when he arrived she was gone and there was rumor that she was to wed another man. Confused, he went searching for her which led him on a wild goose chase where he ended up in another city under the siege of war.

I find myself married to a corpse ||

Emily-->”Don’t you see? You’re the other woman.”

Victoria Everglot-->”But then, on meeting you, I felt that I should be with you always.”

His would be fiance. He feels pulled and bound to her somehow and knows that he has to find a way to fix what he has done.

OPEN || TAKEN

And to a guy in Kentucky I’m Mister Unlucky ||

As the only son of the founder of his city, he idolized his father. Spending countless hours laying awake with his dad trying to think of ways to spice things up in town. Especially for Halloween. That was their holiday and every year the whole town would celebrate and it was a giant party for everyone. But sometimes his father wondered if there was something more they could do. Jack, naturally, would try his best to help and try making different contraptions for the big bash. His father loved his inventions and often used them for the celebration. Unfortunately, his time with his father came to an end rather soon. His father passed suddenly and tragically when one of his own inventions exploded. Now poor Jack, at only sixteen, was alone.

It was up to him now to run the town and while his father had died he was granted his father’s ability; he could now turn skeletal on command. But there was someone who begged to differ. His name was Osten Bogs and his father was the mayor. The two boys grew up on the same street since they were infants and never once had gotten along. Osten would continuously try to find new ways of the Skellington’s out of town but it never did work. Jack was also the one person in their town that was not downright terrified of him. Always friendly to the other boy and offering to help him in anyway he could. Though all he would get in return was a jeer and a cruel laugh. Though there was one person that Jack could always count on; Zero. They had been there since before the town was founded and while they were dead they served as a good friend to him.

 As he grew older, Jack couldn’t ignore the feeling that there was something missing in their big Halloween bash. Or maybe in their town.It was then when he discovered this thing called snow. Being that in their town it’s autumn year round they never experienced this. Jack was fascinated and tried everything he could to make it snow. But to no avail. Nothing he did worked and eventually he decided to take his studies to another realm where it did snow and try to form some kind of plan to bring it back to his realm with him. Maybe then they could have the celebration that he had always imagined. 

No animal, no man can scream like I can ||

Sally Finkelstein-->”We’re simply meant to be.”

The two have lived side by side for years and only recently met. He feels like he can trust her and she brings out the best in him. Maybe there’s even something more between the two?

Zero-->”My, what a brilliant nose you have.”

He is his best friend. Always there when then other is in need most.

Cinderella-->”Somewhere deep in these bones an emptiness began to grow.”

Based on Billy Butcherson from Hocus Pocus

OPEN || TAKEN

I’ve waited centuries to say that ||

A good ‘ol boy according to his mama, Billy was never one to go out and break the rules. He listened and hung intently to everything his mama had to say. Though it wasn’t because he wanted to. His father was a large man with an intimidating aura and no man wanted to mess with him. That included his own son. All he ever wanted to do was make his parents happy and his mama proud. Of course, his father never laid a hand on Billy. He just scared the living christ out of him. Though as soon as his father passed away it was game on. When he turned just sixteen years old his father got into a brutal and fatal car accident. Killing him upon impact. This awakened something in him and from that moment on he was...what do the kids call it these days? A heathen? Billy started to sneak out at night and get absolutely hammered. Coming home into the early morning still rip roaring drunk and usually with a girl on his arm.

His mother couldn’t take this kind of behavior. Not from her darling boy. So she planned a trip and packed their bags. Moving them to another realm entirely in hopes that her good boy would resurface. But this was in vain. Billy started getting more and more rebellious in Salem. Until the day he met her. Winifred Sanderson was rumored to be a witch and only cast black magic among her and her two sisters. She was exactly what he didn’t need but everything he wanted. The two met at a Samhain party one night and hit it off immediately. Billy started to sneak out and meet her at her cabin deep in the woods and that was when he was introduced to her sisters. Now, everyone in Salem had knew of or at least heard the rumors surfacing about their mother’s hanging. But Billy really didn’t care about that. What he did care about was her sister, Sarah. Young and so full of life and adventurous. That was what he wanted. Or at least what he thought he wanted.

Sarah began to sneak away with him whenever they could and life seemed like a dream. He could eat his cake and have it to! Except he had started to form genuine feelings for the blonde sister. She was sweet at times and didn’t deserve half of the bullshit her sisters put her through. Billy wanted to save Sarah from this treatment. He told her about this plan he had of whisking her away from Salem and they could be together without having to worry about Winifred. That was the night that they were caught and Winifred had had enough of his lies and deceit. Before she killed him she sewed his mouth shut so he couldn’t tell any of her secrets even in death. Billy had no idea how much time had passed. All he knew was that Winifred had called him and now he was alive (sort of) once again. This time they were in another realm and so Billy ventured to Portus Cale to join Winifred on her hunt for her Book of Shadows. Maybe then he can destroy it once and for all.

Go to hell ||

Winifred Sanderson-->” Deep asleep in thy wormy bed. Wiggle thy toes, open thine eyes, twist thy fingers toward the sky. Life is sweet, be not shy, on thy feet, so sayeth I!”

His ex-girlfriend who poisoned him and sewed his mouth shut. He harbors nothing but a deep hatred for her now. However, his is tied to her via her Book of Shadows which is why he wants to destroy it.

Sarah Sanderson-->Almost Lover

His would be fling. Though he still deeply cares for her and harbors some residual feelings for her. He wishes to convince her to run away with him one more time. If she’ll listen.

Christopher Potts-->”You’ll be safe in here.”

Based on Simba from The Lion King

OPEN || TAKEN

What’s a motto ||

He was his parent’s pride and joy. Brought up by two loving parents that gave him the world. Since his father was the owner of a well established club money was never an issue. Simba never went without and often went with his father to work and learned the way of the land so to speak. But when he was fifteen everything changed. His father’s club was robbed and in the process his father was killed. Walking up at the exact right time when the three robbers ran out. His uncle happened to be pull up at that time as well and told him that should others arrive that it would appear that they would think it was all Simba’s fault. He would be charged with the whole thing and his mother would be heartbroken. His uncle urged him to run away and never look back. So he did.

Simba wandered for days and weeks before finally collapsing in an alleyway. He was starving and dehydrated. Luckily, two men, who were working on a shelter for youth just like him, had found him. Timon and Pumbaa by name and they took Simba in with open arms. Welcoming him in to their home and raising him as their own. Eventually he had grown into a well rounded young man. They gave him the position of managing their shelter once it was up and running. But eventually he was found when a disheveled young woman came into the building. He immediately recognized her as a girl he had grown up with named Nala and the two began to reconcile and tell catch the other up. It appeared that there was trouble in paradise.

Nala told him that since his father’s death that his mother had inherited everything. Because he had mysteriously disappeared everyone thought he was kidnapped by the robbers and killed as well. But his uncle was fighting for ownership of the club that was rightfully Simba’s as he was named the successor and the heir to a hefty inheritance. Nala had been sent to find someone that could help them since the police were doing nothing to stop his uncle. Simba, however, was heavily set in his ways and refused to go back. Afraid that when everyone saw him that they would shame him and blame him for his father’s death. Just the way that his uncle had said they would. With the shelter booming with youth in need and at risk he definitely couldn’t leave Timon and Pumbaa. 

Look, sometimes, bad things happen ||

Timon and Pumbaa-->”Look, kid, you gotta put your past behind you.”

His adoptive parents so to speak. They could never replace his dad but they definitely looked out for him and provided for him. Without them he wouldn’t know what to do.

Nala-->”Because it’s your responsibility.”

A childhood best friend and voice of reason. Growing up they would get in all kinds of trouble together. They were nearly inseparable. Now, she is his voice of reason.

Mowgli-->Like Father Like Son

Based on Hercules from Hercules

OPEN || TAKEN

I can go the distance ||

Adopted as a baby, he never truly fit in with the rest of the people in his city. While he was unnaturally strong for a small child, he only grew stronger as he grew. Hercules never felt as though he was meant to be there and as a result he tried even harder. Others called him names like Jercules and a freak when he was around. All he ever wanted to do was help and fit in but no matter what he seemed to push others away and make an even bigger fool of himself. When he was fourteen when he finally sat his parents down and told them exactly how he felt. With a heavy heart, they told him the truth. They told him that he was adopted as a baby and that there was a necklace with a strange symbol on it around his neck when they found him. With that as his only clue to finding his birth parents, Hercules set out to find where he truly belonged.

He was led to a man called Phil who taught him self defense and taught him how to be a true hero. But whenever they tried to prove this of him, Hercules was laughed at yet again. One day he crossed path’s with a young woman named Meg who was in need of his help. She was sassy and full of life. They began to spend more and more time together until he started to feel something for her. Eventually, he caught the eye of a man named Zeus while training. Zeus claimed that he knew something and wanted to help him. Leading him to become a star athlete and put both him and his childhood best friend, Pegasus, on the map. Zeus said that the more attention that was brought to him the more likely his parents would find him. Hercules believed everything he was told.

But then came the day when he went to meet with Meg and he saw her with another man. While he had no idea who this man was, he was still heartbroken. Hercules wanted answers and while he went to talk to her and demand an explanation, he discovered that she was gone. Nowhere to be found in their city. Still confused and heartbroken, he sought after her despite the warnings of both Phil and Pegasus. Who told him that she was no good, a fraud. Hercules didn’t buy any of it and packed his bags to leave for another realm that he would hopefully find Meg in.

Somehow I’ll be strong ||

Megara-->”He has no weakness.”

While it may appear that he has no weakness. That would be wrong. Megara is, in fact, his one weakness and he’ll do anything to protect her.

Hades-->”Should Hercules fight, you will fail.”

He doesn’t know who this man is but whenever he sees him he gets a bad feeling. He also doesn’t know that he’s his target.

Pegasus-->”He was given to you as a baby.”

Based on Sora from Kingdom Hearts

OPEN || TAKEN

Like is any of this for real... Or not ||

Born and raised on an island, he has always faced life with a sense of reckless abandon. Never one to think twice about his actions, Sora was raised by his mother as his father passed away before he was born. His father was an adventurist and was always off seeking ways to venture to new undiscovered lands and realms outside of their own. Sora inherited this from him and once he puts his mind to something there is no stopping him. He started sneaking out with his friends to build a raft at a young age and would sneak back in before his mother noticed he was even gone. When a girl his age, named Kairi, washed up on the shores of Destiny Island the two bonded almost immediately. Running off to a cave that they referred to as “the Special Place” where they would exchange secrets apart from his best friend, Riku. The three of them dreamed big and never once looked behind them. Until the day the Darkness came.

A vicious storm swept their island up and destroyed nearly everything in its path. Including his two best friends. Though just before Kairi was whisked away he saw her. Reaching for her hand and pleading for her to go with him. But something wasn’t right and Kairi was lost in the wind. As soon as the storm died, Sora found a strange key like blade washed ashore and scooped it up. Vanishing from his beloved island in search of his friends and bring them back home. However, this was no easy task. Sora learned that his new weapon was called a Keyblade and he was chosen to master it. It holds unbelievable power and can vanquish what was called the Darkness. In his journey he met two unlikely friends and together they fought off the growing Darkness. But then he found Riku. Just like Kairi, something wasn’t right.

His friend had chosen a different path and no matter how much Sora begged and pleaded there was no swaying Riku. They began to fight and as a result his soul was torn in two. He began to feel a pull to Portus Cale and it was here that he decided to rest. Hearing rumors that not only was Kairi there but there was a way to reach Riku and bring him back to the boy that he used to know. So, he decided to take up studying at the university in hopes that he would find a way to pull his friends together again, put his soul back together and they can finally go back home. Even if he is being pulled to the Darkness just as Riku had been.

A scattered dream that’s like a far-off memory ||

Kairi-->”I want to line the pieces up...yours and mine.”

His first love, though he has failed to see her as anything more than a friend. When they were kids they shared a paopou fruit together thus intertwining their destinies forever. He’ll do anything for her and will do anything to keep her safe.

Riku-->”A far-off memory that’s like  scattered dream.”

These two boys grew up together. They were like brothers until Kairi came along and the two felt a strange rivalry over her. Though they remained very close and never spoke of their feelings for the girl. He will do anything he can to bring his friend back to where he belongs.

Benjamin Goof and Donald Duck-->”I am who I am because of them.”

Based on Prince Dereck from The Swan Lake

OPEN || CLOSE

I can do much better. I am sure. ||

Dereck was born as prince of his land, and ever since he can remember, his mother -- Uberta -- planned for him to wed a girl named Odette. Every summer the girl would be a guest on his house, and everytime it was a nightmare. Dereck and his best friend Bromley would constantly pick on her. Dereck didn’t want to lose his precious time with a girl, he wanted to play sword fighting, and hunting or boxing, mostly “boy” things, or rather, that’s what he thought. Besides having his life planned didn’t appeal to him, the young man knew for sure he could do much better than plain Odette, with her blue eyes, and yellow hair. Some would say the male was in denial, but whenver someone said that Dereck would appear with a young woman on his arms to prove them wrong. 

Time passed, and both Odette and Dereck grew up. For his surprise Odette turned out to be beautiful, and when he thought about those times when they were children, he could only remember with tenderness and maybe a little bit of passion hidden underneath layers of picking on her. He changed his manners towards her, and the two of them felt instantly for each other. When they were about to get engaged, Odette asked him what he liked about her, however Dereck was never a man of kind words. The male didn’t know what to say, he couldn’t express with words, so he lost her. When he convinced himself about showing her his love, something awful happened. Odette and William were attacked, and someone took her away. Willaim told him about a big animal seconds before dying and Dereck became obsessed with it. He started to chase animals while hunting, and that’s how he found her at last. A swan transformed in front of him, turning out to be his Odette.

She explained to him, that only professing his love in public would break her curse. So, on the night after of their meeting Dereck had a ball that his mother was planning, they planned to meet their, and he would pledge his love in front of all his mother’s guests. When Odette finally got into the party Dereck said to everyone his love for her, but it wasn’t her. Rothbart -- the enchanter who abducted Odette -- had transformed another woman into Odette. Dereck hurried to the lake but it was too late. Odette was dead and it was his fault. That loss changed something inside of him, he didn’t want love anymore, and bitterness made home inside his heart. Dereck ran away, trying to get a new begining, even going to another realm, a place on Earth called Portus Cale. There he started to write about his adventurous and his beloved Odette on children’s books, a way to escape reality. 

She’s like... You know... How about... Then... I mean, right? ||

Odette Bochner. --> Far longer than forever I’ll hold you in my heart.

Odette is just a distant memory for Dereck, someone he wants to forget. 

Belle Villeneuve.--> I’ll find the great animal. 

Belle is Dereck’s editor, and the two of them became good friends because of his books. While often disagreeing on Dereck’s ways with women. 

Odile Karasink. --> You’re not her.

Dereck knows she was only a tool on Rothbart’s game, but as she used him, Dereck sometimes uses her for sex, for she reminds him of his beloved Odette. A love-hate relationship these two posses.

Rothbart Karasink. --> Let him come!
