[quote=@Helo] [hider=Casey] Name: Casey Harrison Age: 17 [IMG] http://static2.hypable.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/teen-wolf-season-5-episode-9-stiles-woods.jpg [/IMG] Specialty: Sarcasm, making jokes at inappropriate time, able to consume inhuman amounts of caffeine, decent gamer, extensive knowledge of alien, paranormal, and government conspiracies… wait, you meant useful specialties didn’t you? In that case computer skills, hacking, and combat skills. Bio: Casey, like his parents before him, was born and raised in Washington and the furthest from town he's ever been was a couple trips to Kansas City. His parents got divorced when he was five and after that he lived with his dad, which was fine with him as his dad was the man and his mom just never got it together, after the divorce his mom just sort of disappeared. His dad was a computer programmer and total scifi and comic geek; passions he shared with his son, as well as outdoor skills and a love of things like camping and fishing. Casey loved watching movies and hanging out with his dad, learning about computers, playing video games and overall, he had a happy childhood. He was always kind of a weird kid, never anywhere close to being one of the “cool” kids but he always had a couple good friends and he was fine with that. His father made enough money to get by but they always lived in a small house on the rougher side of town. In elementary school Casey was a chubby kid and he got picked on a lot. The summer before middle school, after having watched all the Rocky and Karate Kid movies with his dad, he decided he wanted to learn how to defend himself. He started taking boxing classes, and kick boxing later on as well, and eventual he got into shape and began fighting back. After that kids stopped picking on him as much, at least to his face. He did well enough in school, still had a few close friends, and spent a lot of time on the weird side of the internet. Watching scifi and horror movies with his dad had cultivated a strong interest in the otherworldly and paranormal. He’d spend hours online and eventually in the dark web reading about the occult, the covered-up existence of demons, alien encounters, and any conspiracy theory that sounded even remotely plausible. Truth be told though, he never really believed in vampires, werewolves, and demons. Now, aliens and government conspiracies sure, but magic and monsters just seemed a bit out there even for him. That is until his freshmen year when his father died. The official story was a ruled an animal attack but when Casey hacked into the coroner’s system and read the files, he learned otherwise. His father had been found in the woods, completely exsanguinated, and the only marks on the body were two small holes on the side of his neck. He couldn’t stop thinking about vampires, he delved even deeper into the recesses of the dark web looking for any information he could find about vampires. He spent a lot of time at the Magic Cauldron trying to find books on them and spending what money he had from his summer job on books, holy water, stakes, and even a sword. Every chance he got he was telling people his father was killed by a vampire, that there were real monsters in their town but no one wanted to listen. He became more of outsider at school, and most people thought he was crazy. His aunt and uncle, who he ended up living with after his dad’s death, briefly had him sent to an institution, thinking his father’s death had caused him to have a mental breakdown. There he learned to stop talking about it and when he got out he kept his knowledge to himself. Shortly after that he went out hunting on his own. It was easy for him to sneak out, his aunt and uncle could really care less about him, so long as he wasn’t making them look bad. He wandered all around Washington armed with some holy water and a stake and it wasn’t too long before he found what he was looking for. A vampire attacked him, beat him up pretty bad, and the thing bit him too. Casey smashed a bottle of holy water over the vampire’s head, which luckily worked just like the message boards had said, and finally managed to take the upper hand in the fight. The staking part was harder than he’d thought but he managed and the thing ‘poofed’ into dust. Since then he’s managed to find a few others hunt with. Life with his aunt and uncle has been anything but easy. His uncle is both a loser and a drunk, and usually a mean one, and his aunt is more concerned with pills than whatever Casey’s up to, they basically took him in because it means extra money from the government. When he lived with his dad he only ever had summer jobs just to earn a little extra spending money but after he died and then after the whole stint in looney bin, he managed to pester the owner of The Magic Cauldron into giving him a job there, cleaning and helping customers a few days a week either after school or on the weekends. He’s had a couple altercations with his uncle before the drunk learned that Casey wasn’t going to take it and so he mostly leaves him alone. Casey spends as little time with them, in their small trailer, as possible, camping out in the woods when the weather permits, staying at the mall or coffee shop until they close, and staying with friends on occasion. He loves camping out in the woods, having time alone and practicing swordsmanship and with the small crossbow he bought, only downside is there’s no wifi in the woods or he’d move there permanently. Casey doesn’t like to bring up the bad parts about his life in front of others and if he does it’s only in a joking manner. Humor has been his main coping mechanism and he’d rather make those around him laugh than have them feel sorry for him. He also hates vampires, demons, werewolves, and any other non-human thing out there with a strong passion. Witches however, as long as they’re white hats of course, are fine by him and would probably make great allies. [/hider] [/quote] Very nice. Approved!
