#slayersintro

i don’t have a full bio for her yet, but i’ve got a pretty extensive stats page here and a pinterest board here. i’ll quit rambling now and give y’all the tl;dr on my gal!

cordelia ‘delia’ wildes. 32. witch. supreme of the wildes coven and owner of tamed wildes.

delia was born in georgia where her bio mom met her bio dad. she was then adopted as a baby. putting delia up for adoption was her mother’s attempt to hide the fact that she gave birth/had a descendant to her bloodline. distrust in witches is a common occurrence, but delia’s mother took her distrust of others and paranoia to a whole new level.

delia grew up in a super small town in ga, unaware of her origins. despite not knowing what she was, delia always knew she was different. she was adopted by a southern baptist minister and his family, as if to prove how pious they really were to their congregation. 

she was never treated poorly, per se, but delia was constantly reminded of how much of a burden she was because of how little she fit in. one of the only things that saved delia growing up was her garden. it didn’t matter how close to death a plant was, delia could seemingly nurse it back to health. she always managed to grow the biggest squashes and pumpkins - so much so that she became quite the celebrity at the local county fair. 

that garden, though, was the only place she ever truly found peace during her childhood and is one of the few fond memories she has of her time with her adoptive family. she refuses to speak ill of them, despite the damage they did to her self-esteem and self worth, because they gave her a “home” and ya girl is obsessed with the idea of home and family, so she clings to even the most toxic version of them.

as soon as she turned 18, delia went to find her bio parents. she never found er father, but she blew up her whole world when she found her mom in salem, virginia. finding out that her mother was not only a witch, but also the supreme of their coven was both the scariest and most exciting thing. it was also a huge relief - delia finally found out why she never really fit in growing up. there wasn’t a second thought in sight when delia decided to stay with her mother ( and aunt that lived with her ) and begin learning the craft.

she’d obviously always had a green thumb, but it was during that time that delia found that she could manipulate the earth, namely plants and organic elements. she also excelled at brew potions and elixirs - ones she now sells as teas and tinctures in her shop. she’s a gifted healer as well, but that doesn’t come nearly as naturally as her other abilities and takes much more energy than her natural gifts. delia tries her best to use her healing abilities as scarcely as possible because of how quickly they drain her.

for five years delia lived with and learned from her mother and aunt, soaking in every lesson they could bestow upon her before delia’s mother grew ill and passed. her death shattered delia - they’d grown unbelievably close over their five years together and the loss felt like a limb being amputated. 

despite being the direct descendant of the coven’s supreme and the rightful heir, cordelia didn’t feel ready to take up the mantle and asked her aunt to take her place until she was ready. 

when her aunt took over as supreme, she moved the coven to roseport where they’ve been for the last 9 years. during that time delia finally felt like she’d found the place where she was meant to be - where she was needed. she can’t explain it, but delia doesn’t plan on leaving roseport any time soon, despite the threat VIGILANTE poses.

just within the last few years, delias aunt grew ill just as her mother had. luckily, her healing abilities had grown even more impressive and she was able to stop the illness from taking her aunt as rapidly as it had her mother. despite cordelia being able to stave off the inevitable for a while longer, she did eventually have to take her rightful place as supreme of their coven. shortly after, delia’s aunt passed, leaving her to lead their coven as best she can. 

owns a little cottage off the lake and away from the hustle and bustle of the boardwalk. it’s literally filled to the bring with plants and herbs and there are always at least six stray cats sleeping on her stoop at any given time. delia is the future crazy cat lady living in the woods. it’s fine.

is 100% the quirky, eccentric shop keeper that no one really knows how to feel about? but her bubbly, kind personality makes up for her oddball nature. 

because she grew up outside the world of the supernatural, she’s much more trusting of those outside her coven. she knows some view it as a weakness - a soft spot for those with ill intentions to take advantage of. delia, though, believes it to be a strength - a starting point to help bring the supernatural community together again. that’s the hill she’s dyin’ on! 

insecure as hell, though she tries like hell to hide it. 

big sally owens vibes, tbh.

plot/connection ideas!

regulars at the shop! she’s got the usual new age-y stuff for tourists, but delia also keeps all sorts of remedies and potions for those who know what to ask for.

gimmie someone who absolutely cannot stand her and her sunshine-y disposition.  

former flings? hook-ups? as much as delia aches for romantic love, she just hasn’t found the time to really devote to trying to find someone. she does get attached fairly quickly, so she’ll probably always have a special place in her heart for everyone she links up with but...a girl also has needs, ya feel?

allies!! give. ya girl. some allies. she genuinely wants to find a way to reach a peaceful resolution to everything going on, but she knows she can’t do it by herself.

Quick Facts:

Julian was born into a poor family and always dreamed of more for himself. When he met and fell in love with a woman he believed to be a wealthy noble, he thought he finally had his ticket to bigger and better things. As it turned out, she was a vampire who bit and turned him.

But life as a vampire was actually better for Julian. He traveled with his sire for years before they grew tired of each other. They parted ways less than amicably, and Julian set out to find his own corner of the world to conquer.

He eventually wound up in Roseport, where he joined the local vampire clan and schemed his way into becoming its leader.

After 50 years of leading the clan, Julian is growing restless again. He wants more power and authority, and he isn’t afraid to play dirty to get it.

The VIGILANTE threat gave him an excuse to ask that all Roseport Clan members cut ties with the slayers and for him to close ranks. He’s doing his best to convince his members that the time has come for vampires to throw out the treaty and live the way they want to.

In protest of the slayers treating supernaturals harshly after VIGILANTE revealed itself, Julian opened the nightclub Delirium as a place where his vampires can have snack and let loose as an alternative to the Euphoria Lounge.

Julian doesn’t really ‘love’ his fellow clan members. He loves the power they give him, and he’ll protect and shelter them for that reason alone. He does do a lot for them and is almost always willing to help when they come to him. It’s important to him that he keeps their respect.

He’s great at networking, and he’s very charming. In fact, he’s rather charming unless you cross him. Then, all bets are off. He can go from smiling and laughing to ripping out throats in .2 seconds under the wrong circumstances.

He suffers from some jealousy issues. He always wants what others have - whether it’s influence, money, or the attention of other people.

Julian is the type of lover who showers his current woman with gifts and affection. Sometimes his relationships last a few decades, sometimes they last a few days. He has no real preference when it comes to sleeping around or getting serious. It all depends on the woman and what he wants at that moment.

Secretly, he has an addiction to shapeshifter & siren blood.

He lives in the Industrial District at the Roseport Clan headquarters in a spacious suite at the top of the remodeled warehouse.

Connection Ideas:

Click here to see the connections Julian has so far. I have a few starting point ideas below, but these are not by any means the only plots I’m open to or want. Never be afraid to reach out to me for plots! Even if an idea doesn’t work right off the bat, I’m always happy to brainstorm something that will.

Slayers: Julian is encouraging everyone he knows to turn against those that enforce the treaty. He’s not above playing dirty to get what he wants, and he sees the slayers as nothing more than an obstacle in his way to more power.

Other Covens/Clans/Packs: Julian puts his own interests (and therefore the interests of his clan) first. I’d love a few allies and maybe a few enemies from the other groups in the city. He’s more than willing to team up with other supernaturals to get what he wants.

Biography: 

Roseport has been home to the Beaumont family for generations and they have always possessed influence. Emma’s mother was once supreme and now Emma’s brother; Oliver is the reigning supreme. 

Emma sees her parents fleeting relationship as passionate and romantic, even if it ended in flames. But as she’s often reminding Oliver... the Beaumont’s have an affinity for the flames. It’s only natural that their relationships end the same way. In flames.

 Although knowing the reasoning behind the movement in her childhood and the lack of relationship with her father, Emma is not very accepting of it. She believes that power in the coven leads to misery and she worries that her brother is next in line for a life of misery. 

Knowing that life of supremedom didn’t await her; Emma had more freedom then her brother. She grew up and had a number of passions outside of magic. Her two favourite being boys and Literature. Emma attended Roseport college and completed a degree in English Literature and when she didn’t know what to do after that a masters in creative writing. She’s now desperately trying to put those degrees to good use and finish some sort of novel. 

Emma has a close relationship with her brother and even leant on him when she finished college with no job. She’s been working in the cafe for a few years while she finishes her ‘novel’. Truth be told she has no idea what to write and worries she isn’t cut out for the world of writing. She knows that writing about magic could lead her to big trouble with the coven... but her muse is built around her own life. And her life is the coven. 

Connections

Necromancy. A bit of a touchy subject, even when it comes to the supernatural community. Often viewed with confusion, suspicion, even fear, magic with death and the dead tend to evoke negative reactions in others. However, like just about every other brand of magic some witches have a natural inclination towards it. Rose was one such witch, belonging to a coven of other similarly gifted witches. 

For a long time things were fine, great even, maybe they weren’t the most well regarded coven, but communing with spirits always brought Rose joy. Unfortunately, like many good things, it didn’t last. A new Supreme came to power, one with new ideas, they weren’t content to merely commune with the already did, no they wanted to increase the spirit population. 

Rose wouldn’t be party to such plans, and upon an unsuccessful challenge to the Supreme’s rule she fled. For some time she wasn’t pursued and she was able to settle down in California. She met a man, Rafael, and together they had two children, Ezra, and later Alexa. They couldn’t immediately tell if the kids would be magical like their mother, or a human like their father, but either way Rose had decided not to tell them. The magic world had caused a lot of suffering, and she wanted to protect them. 

Unfortunately for Rose, both children started showing traits. Even still, she tried to avoid it, continued keeping her secret. She loved these kids more than anything, and she really thought she was doing what was best for them. Then, to make matters even more complicated her old coven finally found her and she disappeared. This left the children, nine year old Ezra, and seven year old Alexa with their human father, still none the wiser about their origin or who they were. 

Ezra grew up confused. Loved by his family, but confused. Why could he and his sister do things that other kids couldn’t do? Why did he hear voices in his head when he touched certain objects, or walked past the cemetery on his way home from school? Why didn’t he like girls the way most other boys did? Why did his mother suddenly disappear with barely a word of explanation or goodbye? Where did she go? Would she ever come back? Was she even alive? 

Feeling so lost and alienated Ezra fell in with a rougher crowd. Probably not the best idea, Alexa was always telling him off about it, but alcohol, drugs, and sex all made more sense, than the rest of the world around him. If his friends were using him or didn’t really care about him? So be it. 

Finally in high school the Big Family Secret came out. Ezra and Alexa were magical, the voices he heard were the dead. On some level it helped, now he knew he wasn’t insane, but on another level it just added to the weirdness, and he really struggled to handle it. With help from his father he was able to start to pull himself together. His father helped him and Alexa to find a witch willing to help them train their skills. 

This proved immeasurably helpful for Ezra, things actually started to make sense, he could use this magic to help people. General magic had a lot of use, and the ability to communicate and interact with the dead could help to ease the pain of their grieving friends and family. He really took to this, and maybe even wanted to make a career of it, which meant graduating high school and going on to college. 

In college things fell apart again. Money problems, alienation, insecurity, loneliness, good old depression all reared their ugly heads and Ezra fell back to his old coping mechanisms, the three staples, sex, drugs, and alcohol. This time they managed to drag him down and he dropped out at the end of his second year, moving home and getting a job as a server, squirreling away money to help make sure Alexa would be able to go to college. 

For a few years he was able to keep his head above water, but his addictions finally dragged him down and after an overdose left him in the hospital Ezra followed in his mothers footsteps and left California. The shame and self loathing were too much for him to take. What started out as an escape turned into an as of yet unsuccessful hunt for his lost mother. He has traveled around to different places, never staying too long, until he reached Roseport. 

Finding that this was something of a supernatural hub he thought maybe it would be a good idea to settle down for a while, see if maybe he could catch wind of his mother’s whereabouts. While he didn’t make it far enough in school to be a funeral director or mortician or anything, he was still able to get a job at the local funeral home. For the most part he does secretarial and other office type work, but still if he gets the chance to speak to grieving families he sometimes tries to pass along messages or words of comfort he picks up from the other side. 

BACKSTORY AND SUMMARY

Somewhere deep within the trees between the countries of Brazil and Columbia, the union of twelve fae brought about the next generation of protector figures for the local green clime. This union was purely methodical in nature, lacking love and affection that most would attribute to couples as the sole and primary directive was to create more of those who could stand before the ever encroaching humans.

The one who came to refer to himself as Caio was the fourth of twenty-eight offspring to grow from this union and his youth was spent honing and developing the trades necessary to combat the human war efforts that threatened the livelihood of the forest. Times were less than favorable among different human groups and as they intended on taking stands against one another, they were a destructive force for the environment. The mission of the fae was simple: keep the outsiders...out.

Most of the siblings did just that, leading with their glamours and natural charm to steer men away from entering the brush of the trees and that was as far as their involvement extended. Those born of a particular fae known as Nightshade in the polyamorous union each received an animal moniker appropriate to their methodology. The eldest was Fox. She was sly and cunning, small yet ferocious when necessary. The next born was Owl, wise and true who preferred to warn and guide rather than trick. The third was Bear, strong and intimidating, glamouring others through fear. The fourth, our Caio Prey, was referred to as Stag. He used his looks and appeal to draw people into unfavorable situations where he’d gore them later, ruthless in his endeavors in a way that unsettled his siblings. The fifth was Wolf, every bit as noble and stoic as a wolf and cared the most for the humans. These five children referred to themselves as the Keepers, the eldest of the twenty-eight second generation fae.

As the siblings grew older, they spread themselves across the border of the rainforest, becoming sentinels for regions designated to them. Stag had spent much of his time in Brazil, watching the humans grow and learn and envied their freedom to explore and conquer beyond their country-bound limits. He watched as they returned with riches, new spouses, and a myriad of knowledges that he craved so dear. It was because of this reason that he abandoned his post and issued in a new era for the Amazon.

As he ventured out into the world, he made sure to blend in with human society to the best of his own ability. He was careful, but every moment in which he let himself slip into his true nature, he would glamour his way out of these situations and flee for greener pastures. This caught the attention of a coven of witches. From them, he learned more practical uses of his abilities and through him, they were granted access to the knowledge of the trees. After years of peaceful negotiations and sharing of each other’s cultures, he brought this coven to his siblings and the first unions between fae and witches in the area took place.

New envoys were born in bulk between the crossings of fae and witch, all of whom worked and served to protect the fragile natural clime from outsiders. Stag served as the progenitor of the union, but never sired his own children or fell in love with the witches. Of the Keepers, only he and his younger brother Wolf never paired off, never giving away their vitality for the sake of mortality. Many of their kin who were not born of Nightshade had also paired off, but the remaining few continued to breed with the witches to ensure that more sirens and shapeshifters could be born.

Much like he once did, Stag grew tired of this life and set out into the world again, this time vowing not to return. He felt that his job was over. Two hundred years of service had awarded the forest a great deal, but there were new protectors now. Some were stronger and wiser than he would ever be. Besides, he was always more fascinated with the humans and their trinkets...their little things that they held more preciously than their own lives.

Only, being raised outside of human culture meant not knowing how or why it functioned the way that it did. Stag had no concept of money or its value. He wanted so many of these little trinkets to call his own but did little more than cheat and steal his way into acquiring so many before he realized that this wasn’t the acceptable way to go about. Within that was something sinister: Stag enjoyed the thrill of stealing and trickery as much as he did acquiring things legitimately. Fae habits die hard, it seemed.

For a hundred more years, Stag would take on a moniker and insert himself into a population. He’d taken on so many jobs that brought him closer to the trinkets of his fancy, from archeologist to treasure hunter to bounty hunter and the like. His propensity for the finer things never died, but he took less time being a burglar and more time striking impossible deals and contracts that when they inevitably fell through, he’d get all that he wanted in the end.

Stag now works as an independent art broker. Officially, at least. He has certainly not stopped his cat-burglary ways, but he manages to only allow his sticky fingers to get ahold of something when he’s exhausted all other options. He’s since taken on the name of Caio Prey as well, very human and yet...so strangely not.

TLDR;

Stag, aka Caio, is an art broker who likes shiny things and tricking people into giving him those shiny things. He has no care for authority or human convention, but likes to pretend like he does sometimes. Think somewhere between Poison Ivy and Selina Kyle in terms of morality.

HEADCANONS

Caio is the name that Stag tends to tell people, but he only ever refers to himself internally as Stag, which is why it’ll mostly be the thing seen when writing him trouncing about.

True to the stereotypes of mythological fae, Stag never outright lies. He is allowed to spin the truth to his advantage, use clever word-play to deceive, and the like, but he cannot lie. This is an entirely personal thing, however, and is not reflective of faerie culture as a whole.

There is a lot of blood on his hands that he seems completely comfortable sharing.

Of the different types of supernatural creatures, the only ones that Stag trusts are fae and witches. He never puts up a guard against the others, but views their methods and histories as far more barbaric in nature. Even still, the opportunity to work alongside someone of a different species brings him a level of thrill he can’t quite place.

Quick Facts:

She’s the result of a faerie mother and a witch father, and she grew up in her father’s coven. Unfortunately, she never really felt like she belonged there. While she can do basic magic, it took her a long time to learn, and the other children weren’t exactly accepting of her.

Though she’d never admit it, Evie and her mother are extremely similar. Evie has the faerie taste for chaos and loves stirring up trouble.

She has a younger half sister, Caprice Valentine, who she constantly claims is the only good thing to come from her faerie mother. She loves Caprice dearly and would do anything for her.

Evie makes good money with her cons and thievery. Some of her schemes are small, some are elaborate.

Usually, she doesn’t leave a trail behind or get caught, but some of her bigger ‘business plans’ recently caught the attention of the slayers. They let her know that if she harmed any humans at all, she’d pay the price. Evie has been purposefully toeing the line between ‘legal’ and ‘illegal’ for the past few months to tease the slayers after their warning.

She uses her con money to fund a luxurious lifestyle. Her upscale apartment in the Business District costs more than she’ll ever admit. She lives alone, but likes to entertain. She’s constantly throwing parties, both fancy and trashy ones.

Loves to hang out at the Euphoria Lounge. She claims she’s “studying” vampire fangs for shifting purposes, but she may or may not have let a few bloodsuckers take a bite out of her.

Evie isn’t uptight or “proper”, but she is awfully judgy. She’s a total gossip. Any secrets you tell her will be repeated to someone else at least once.

She’s petty as hell. Even slight wrongdoings could end in an elaborate scheme for revenge. She’s not above using her gifts to wreak havoc on someone’s life.

Evie cycles through friendships and relationships like seasonal fashion trends. Most of her relationships are superficial. She’d never admit it, but she’s terrified to get close to anyone and have them not accept her once they see her for who she really is. When it’s all said and done, she’s sure no one will stick around for the long haul. She’s never had a serious romantic relationship, and it would take a lot of trust to get her to even consider it.

As a shapeshifter, she always felt she was part of multiple worlds, but never really fit into any of them. Although she loves her gifts and uses them to her advantage, she does feel like she might never belong anywhere.

Connection Ideas:

Click here to see the connections Evie has so far. I have a few starting point ideas below, but these are not by any means the only plots I’m open to or want. Never be afraid to reach out to me for plots! Even if an idea doesn’t work right off the bat, I’m always happy to brainstorm something that will.

Human She Exposed to the Supernatural World: Check out the wanted connection on the main!

People She’s Wronged: There are a lot. Seriously. Whether she conned them, straight up stole from them, or did something petty that seriously impacted their life, I’m down to hear ideas and for Evie to deal with the consequences!

Slayers: The Slayers have been keeping tabs on her businesses dealings, and Evie has been toeing the line of rule breaking to tease them the past few months. It’s a cat and mouse game that she might very well regret playing.

Friends: Evie only has a few true friends. Because it takes so much time to earn her trust, these are people she would have known for a while and who have seen her at her worst and best.

Lovers: Mostly friends with benefits and one-night stand situations.

Quick Facts:

Oliver was born & raised in Roseport. He loves this city and will never leave. He plans to stay even if things go to shit with the slayers and VIGILANTE.

He owns EXPRESS-O CAFE in Old Town Plaza. Aside from the coven, the coffee shop is his pride and joy. He’s there almost all the time. Watch out, though, because his cat hangs around the tables and counter to demand pets.

His cat’s name is Smelly. Yes, like the song from F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Luckily, he doesn’t actually smell.

He lives about a block away from the coffee shop. The house is old and was cheap as hell when he bought it five years ago. He claims he’s renovating it, but so far, he’s only fixed up his bedroom and the kitchen.

He’s been Supreme of the Beaumont Coven for a little over six months, and in that time, he’s pushed for a lot of changes. Mainly, he wants all covens to open up and stop being so secretive with one another - starting with his own. He’s also looking to renegotiate the long-standing treaty that is the subject of so much discord right now.

His official position with the VIGILANTE threat is that the Beaumont Coven should keep obeying the terms of the treaty and maintain their relationship with the slayers.

Ollie is super outgoing. He’ll chat with anyone, whether they’re a customer at the coffee shop or just a stranger in line for the bus, but he’s loyal first and foremost to his coven, and then his friends. He holds grudges and finds it hard to let go of wrongdoings, especially when they’re transgressions about the people he cares about.

He’s incredibly stubborn. He’ll die on any hill, even when he realizes he’s wrong. He rarely apologizes, so when he does, it’s genuine.

Oliver has major relationship commitment issues. Every single serious romantic relationship he’s had ended because of his own hesitations about the idea of forever. It probably stems from the disaster that was his parents’ relationship. Flings feel safer to him, so he’s more likely to date a woman casually, or a few women casually, and call it off quickly.

Right now, he’s incredibly busy with the coven. Between trying to salvage the relationship between the witches and the slayers, forging a new future for the coven, and dealing with the ins and outs of being a new Supreme, his life has turned into almost entirely witch business. He’s been a little hard to get in contact with, but he’s trying to get back to a new normal - which means reaching out to his friends, starting to go back out, and dating again. 

Connection Ideas:

Click here to see the connections Ollie has so far. I have a few starting point ideas below, but these are not by any means the only plots I’m open to or want. Never be afraid to reach out to me for plots! Even if an idea doesn’t work right off the bat, I’m always happy to brainstorm something that will.

Opposing Witches: Ollie’s hopes to open up the covens is a known thing throughout the witch community. I’d love to have some witches, both in his own coven and in others, who disapprove of these ideas and dislike him for it.

Flings: Again, Ollie is more likely to have flings than full on serious relationships. I’m down for a few of these, whether they’re current or past! We can figure out the details of whether they ended well or badly, etc. etc.

Supernatural Friends: Ollie is trying really, really hard to maintain relations with everyone despite the VIGILANTE threat. He’s been a little off the grid the past few months while adjusting to being Supreme, but he’s getting back out there and catching up with his friends now.
