Likes: Sketching nature, warm foods, the sound of singing, the smell of books, feeling/looking tidy, "quiet contemplation" (brooding), the company of others.

Dislikes: Quiet rooms, old portraits, getting blood on his clothes, people not knowing what they're doing, being pushed into boxes.

Extras:

Easton gets his middle names from his mother :]

They are often mistaken for much older than they really are. Likely between the scars and the white locs. It used to be a sore spot for them, but they've grown accustomed to it.

East isn't great with any sort of close quarters combat, buuuuuut give them some distance and they're an excellent shot with just about anything ranged. At least with glasses on anyways.

They would have loved to become some sort of curator. I think they still do, but they've otherwise shelved the dream for fear of it being too late for them.

East is sliiiiiightly freaked out by Maria. Really birds in general.

He's 👁️👁️

Background

Easton wasn't always a hunter. Truth be told, in his youth, such an occupation would have brought him great distress, his sensitive and gentle disposition being no secret, and yet, a great point of contention between his parents. For the first few years of his life, his mother, Aubrey, sought to nurture and tend his loving nature to the fullest, supporting his curiosities about the creatures his family "traded", and encouraging his heart's true passion, drawing.

However, as East grew into their roles within the family, the loose reigns of his upbringing tightened. Though Easton's talent for drawing was growing, alongside his affinity for collections and ravenous curiosity, it was clear tension was brewing between the young St. Clair and his father. Further still, their initial in these the so called "beasts" at his home was quickly growing into fondness, and in turn, East's otherwise indifference about their situation was unfolding into regret and despair for them, something their father couldn't abide by. Thus, they needed to be... Reconditioned in their thinking.

In an attempt to make East understand the dangerous nature of the creatures he cared so deeply for, an incident occurred. To this day, East still can't quite remember it clearly. Only his mother's screams, a sickening gurgle, and the next few years of his life moving by on double time. But their father had succeeded at least. It didn't take much thereafter to contort East's anguish into monster hatred.

Which is what led Easton to take up hunting. A respectable occupation for someone like him, or so he was told anyway. Though after some time, there was still a piece of his heart, perhaps the piece his mother had given him, that wasn't truly in it. He certainly wasn't built for the job, seeming to collect endless scars from his close call encounters. Though there was still loathing and anger present for the loss of his mother, there was also still such.. curiosity. A charm to these creatures that no amount of lust for retribution could shake. Above all else, he eventually grew sick of the cycle. All they needed was a reason, a motive... perhaps a brief flash of kindness from a certain gator... Oh, but who could say how a story like that would play out.

:] Hey hey, omg, I did the freaking thing! Normally I'd have finished the bigger piece, buuuuut I wanted to post them already ^^ It's been a minute since I last did an OC post, so this was fun! It's just a general oc intro post, so any additional info will come in replies to bug posts, or question in my ask box should anyone feel so inclined ^^!

That all said, despite the luxuries and privileges her new life affords her, Elodie is steadfast in her dedication to kindness and patience, where warranted. And her thirst for excitement and experiences allow her to move through life with a sort of vigor just as unwavering.

Likes: Warm colors/drinks, cherry coke, clear weather, modern aesthetics, 'trash' television/books (reality TV, those sexy CEO books, etc), chivalry, getting dressed up, a job well done.

Dislikes: Workplace/Weaponized incompetence, baggy clothing, being out late, rambunctious social functions, being babied or pitied.

Extras:

Elodie is Haitian and French ! Having grown up between France and England, however, her Haitian Creole is rather poor. She does like to spend her free time learning though!

Though Elodie is rather skilled at her job, it wasn't her original passion. Her true calling was and truly is singing, and if she'd had the chance, she would have become a stage performer.

Though Elodie's most iconic look is her French Curl Braids, she's known to switch hairstyles semi-frequently. She's rather particular about her hair as well, very few have actually touched it and lived to tell the tale (/j).

Though she's sporting red here, Ellie's favourite color is dark brown!
