Simply put, she’s bored after walking the earth as long as she has. When she was younger, there was a burning hatred for werewolves in her chest. She was taught to feel that way by the man that turned her, and it wasn’t until much later that she realized the truth: it doesn’t matter. An eternal war between species? What was the point? She was eternal, a werewolf would only last a blink of the eye. Even so, Hyoon still tends to look at werewolves as dogs in need of a firmer hand. They would serve her well as pets, but she suspects they wouldn’t like that idea. On the other hand, when it comes to witches, warlocks, wizards, and whatnot, Hyoon has something of a softspot for them. Having been raised by a witch makes it easy for her to have a bias. They may be weaker than her, less intelligent, and they may not live forever, [i]but[/i] in her experience, most spellslingers have had the right intention. When it comes to [i]actual[/i] mortals, the powerless humans, Hyoon looks at them almost as toys. They aren’t a threat, especially in modern times. She is no stranger to the sweet taste of their blood, either.[/sub] [sub][b][color=#c3b1e1]AMBITIONS[/color][/b][/sub] [sub][sup][color=c3b1e1]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub] [sub][color=#c3b1e1] ➽[/color]➽[color=#c3b1e1]➽[/color] Hyoon wants to run the show at the Academies.

His presence kept them safe from marauding supernaturals, but it came at a price: the vampire missed the taste of fresh, human blood. In return for sacrifices, he protected them from the influence and danger of other supernatural beings and mortals alike. After over a decade of being under his protection, the vampire decided he wanted to move away from the area — he had no choice; the Academy had sent hunters after him for breaking the sacred rules. It was a frustrating moment for him. He thought he’d found a good balance, a way around the rules. [i]Willing[/i] sacrifices would surely be allowed, or so he had convinced himself. When he heard of their ploy to send hunters after him, he knew he had to leave. There was a sense of attachment to the village, and he had to hope they would be safe without his protection. Convinced he was a deity-esque figure, the villagers gave him one last sacrifice, a deluded effort to ensure his protection was permanent. The sacrifice was the most precious thing the village had to offer: its youngest child. Greedily, he took the child as a final offering, but when he retreated to his mountain hideaway, he found himself fascinated by her for one simple reason. She didn’t seem afraid of him. There were no tears, and no screams echoing off the stone walls of his cavern. To him, she seemed courageous — especially for a child. He didn’t kill her that night. Nor the next night, when he took her with him on his run through the jungle, so to speak. It wasn’t until the fifth day that he realized what he wanted to do. A child who was as brave as her deserved more than to be merely a mortal. He’d already broken Academy rules, what was another? On the fifth night, he turned her. On the sixth day, he named her Hee-yoon, a name meaning ‘wise and beautiful.’ From then on, he resolved to raise the girl as his own. On the eighth day, he stopped running from the Academy’s hunters and surrendered. On trial, he was nearly punished by death to him [i]and[/i] Heeyoon, but in the end a deal was struck. He would fight for the Academy and keep rogue vampires in line and in return, they would let him raise his daughter in relative peacefulness. He was assigned a handler, a female witch Academy official who would make sure he behaved, as well as instill the ‘proper’ values in the young, freshly turned vampire. Under their combined tutelage, the young vampire grew into an intelligent and cunning young woman. While her ‘mother’ tried to teach her to use her abilities to protect mortals and people who are weaker, her father explained her position in this world ass one of rulership over the ‘lessers;’ by the time she was sent to the Academy it was only natural that she acted the way she did — like she was better than everyone. There, she initially served the mandatory six years before working out an ‘independent’ study of sorts with the professors. With that out of the way, Hyoon spent the next millennia exploring the world and finding her place in it. During her travels, she did what any self-respecting immortal would, and amassed a large fortune before ultimately realizing that nothing she did mattered and the world would endlessly continue spinning with or without her. This was a big realization for her, and a landmark moment in her life. Eventually, Hyoon returned to Hawthorne Academy, where she announced her intention to simply make it her home while she figured things out. Since then, over a hundred years ago, Hyoon has been a permanent fixture at the Academy while she continues to try and figure out whether her father’s declaration of her ‘right to rule’ is correct or not. She has time to figure it out, and is certainly in no rush to find the answer. She has all the time in the world.[/color][/hider] [/cell][/row][/table][/color][/hider] [hider= Nathaniel de Fontaine | Wizard ] [color=a53bdb][CENTER][img]https://i.imgur.com/wqjN8qH.png[/img][/CENTER] [table][row][/row][row][cell] [img]https://i.imgur.com/v4iTAcS.png[/img] [color=gray][sup]_______________________________________________[/sup][/color] [center][/center] [center][sub][color=#a53bdb]Nathaniel de Fontaine[/color] [color=#a53bdb]|[/color] Heterosexual (he would experiment though) [color=#a53bdb]|[/color] [color=#a53bdb] a53bdb[/color] [color=#a53bdb]|[/color] Wizerd [color=#a53bdb]✧[/color] ✧ [color=#a53bdb]✧[/color] ✧ [color=#a53bdb]✧[/color] ✧ [color=#a53bdb]✧[/color] ✧ [color=#a53bdb]✧[/color] ✧ [color=#a53bdb]✧[/color] ✧ 24 [color=#a53bdb]|[/color] GENDER [color=#a53bdb]|[/color] HEIGHT [color=#a53bdb]|[/color] YEAR [color=#a53bdb]▿[/color] ▵ [color=#a53bdb]▿[/color] ▵ [color=a53bdb]▿[/color] ▵ [color=a53bdb]▿[/color] ▵ [color=a53bdb]▿[/color] ▵ [color=#a53bdb]▿[/color] ▵ ☀ Handsome ☀ Muscular ☀ Talented Lover ☀ Good Kisser ☀ Deep Voiced ☀ Pretty Eyes ☀ Nice Smile ☀ Cuddly ☀ Smells Good ☀ ☁ Shallow ☁ Eternally Down Bad ☁ Does It All for the Nookie ☁ Slightly Stoopid ☁ [color=#a53bdb]▿[/color] ▵ [color=#a53bdb]▿[/color] ▵ [color=#a53bdb]▿[/color] ▵ [color=#a53bdb]▿[/color] ▵ [color=#a53bdb]▿[/color] ▵ [color=#a53bdb]▿[/color] ▵ [/sub] [hider=▿ ▵ ▿ ▵] [sub][COLOR=a53bdb][i] [sub][b][color=#a53bdb]LIKES[/color][/b][/sub] the way women smell - the way women taste - hickeys - playing with hair - the build up - the anticipation - aftercare - running marathons - bareback riding - romance - candles [sub][b][color=#a53bdb]DISLIKES[/color][/b][/sub] people who don’t smell good - uggos - academic work - feral cats - vanilla (too boring) - small beds [/i][/COLOR][/sub][/hider][/center] [CENTER] [/center] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/pAcVBa1.png[/img][/center] [/cell][cell][sub][b][color=#a53bdb] s k í l l s & w є α k n є s s є s [/color][/b][/sub] [sub][sup][color=a53bdb]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub] [color=a53bdb] [sub][b][color=#a53bdb]STRENGTHS[/color][/b][/sub] [sub]Is being pretty a strength? Nathaniel isn’t sure if it’s a ‘traditional’ one, but he certainly counts it as such. Being pretty has gotten him out of plenty of binds before, including at least one failing grade. Sure, he had to make out with a less than attractive professor, but whatever it takes. It’s a strength if it’s gotten him out of a sticky situation. Nate may not be the best mage in the game, but he’s certainly still got that de Fontaine blood in him. Elementalist magic comes to him naturally, but the real magic he’s spent time working on is charms. In his opinion, Charming magic is the most romantic of all, and that’s what he’s most interested in. It has its uses in some of Nathan’s favorite activities. His most secretive strength is being able to admit when he’s out of his element. Nathaniel de Fontaine is not the kind of person to try and do something he has no idea how to do. Deferring to the experts is the easy way out, and that’s what he prefers. Plus, he can afford it.[/sub] [sub][b][color=#a53bdb]WEAKNESSES[/color][/b][/sub] [sub]He’s shallow. Incredibly shallow, even. Nathaniel isn’t sure that people who aren’t exceptionally pretty are even worth talking to, and he struggles to hide his disappointment when one of them approaches him. The way he treats them sometimes makes him come off like something of a bully, but luckily for him… there aren’t a lot of unattractive people at the academy. Nathaniel can also be blunt to his own detriment. He doesn’t mince his words and definitely doesn’t hide his opinions. He’s one of the people who claims to be ‘brutally honest,’ but really sometimes he just comes off as a dick. Gets away with it because of those boyish good looks. He’s not the sharpest tool in the shed. In fact, he probably ranks among the dullest. He doesn’t do well in academics, he barely scrapes by in magics, and he frankly doesn’t care about either of those things. He’s rich and he’s pretty, so it doesn’t really matter if he’s talented or intelligent. He’s gonna get laid anyway.[/sub][/color] [sub][b][color=#a53bdb]OUTLOOK / IDEALS / PERSPECTIVE [/color][/b][/sub] [sub][sup][color=a53bdb]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub] [sub]Nathaniel’s thoughts on other people frankly begin and end with how attractive they are or aren’t. He doesn’t care if someone is a werewolf, a vampire, a siren, or even just a wormy little human. If someone is pretty or feminine enough, Nathaniel is probably going to try and likely succeed to kiss them. Nothing’s stopped him before, not the sanctity of marriage, and certainly not an ancient race war.[/sub] [sub][b][color=#a53bdb]AMBITIONS[/color][/b][/sub] [sub][sup][color=a53bdb]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub] [sub][color=#a53bdb] ➽[/color]➽[color=#a53bdb]➽[/color] Threesome with a vampire and a werewolf at the same time.

Since the moment he arrived at Hawthorne Academy, Nathaniel has been hooking up with his peers and even some of his professors in hidden nooks and crannies throughout the Academy. Frankly, his parents couldn’t be prouder. Nathaniel knows that his teachers prefer his sister to him, but he frankly isn’t sure why. She’s [i]boring[/i], he’s the fun one. While she’s cooped up in her dorm studying, he’s out trying to have the fourth party of the week, and convincing his peers to try out some new products his family has worked on. Sure, he knows that he causes a few problems for the Academy staff, but at least they’re [i]fun[/i] problems. It isn’t like he’s out starting fights like the wolves or the bats sometimes do. Nathaniel has already accomplished many of his goals during his tenure at the Academy (including: [s]have sex with a teacher[/s], [s]hear a siren’s song as he finishes[/s]), and he’s hoping to cross the last one off his list this year. If everything goes his way, Nathaniel de Fontaine is certain that his plan to have a werewolf and a vampire in his bed at the sametime is sure to solve the problem of the millennia long race war. Or, at the very least, he’ll have a great story to tell at dinner when he and his sister go home for the holidays. Or he might die, but hey that’s a risk he’s willing to take, and it’s a risk he’s already taken more than once. Nathaniel de Fontaine is not the kind of person who’s going to be stopped by something as mundane as a risk of bodily harm — his mom can fix him up, so it’s not like his good looks are at risk. His secondary, and least important goal, is to maybe [i]just maybe[/i] squeak by with middle of the pack grades, and not drag the bell curve down quite so far. Luckily, Celeste will do his homework for him if he asks nicely. [i]Hopefully[/i].[/color][/hider][/cell][/row][/table][/color][/hider] [hider= Orion Graves | Wizard ] [color=7CF9FF][CENTER][img]https://i.imgur.com/bR687W2.png[/img][/CENTER] [table][row][/row][row][cell] [img]https://i.imgur.com/HTyiCLg.png[/img] [color=gray][sup]_______________________________________________[/sup][/color] [center][/center] [center][sub][color=#7CF9FF]Orion Graves[/color] [color=#7CF9FF]|[/color] Heterosexual [color=#7CF9FF]|[/color] [color=#7CF9FF] 7CF9FF[/color] [color=#7CF9FF]|[/color] Wizerd [color=#7CF9FF]✧[/color] ✧ [color=#7CF9FF]✧[/color] ✧ [color=#7CF9FF]✧[/color] ✧ [color=#7CF9FF]✧[/color] ✧ [color=#7CF9FF]✧[/color] ✧ [color=#7CF9FF]✧[/color] ✧ 24 [color=#7CF9FF]|[/color] GENDER [color=#7CF9FF]|[/color] 6’3” [color=#7CF9FF]|[/color] Final [color=#7CF9FF]▿[/color] ▵ [color=#7CF9FF]▿[/color] ▵ [color=7CF9FF]▿[/color] ▵ [color=7CF9FF]▿[/color] ▵ [color=7CF9FF]▿[/color] ▵ [color=#7CF9FF]▿[/color] ▵ ☀ Confident ☀ Intelligent ☀ Well-spoken ☀ Self-aware ☀ Electrifying ☀ ☁ Explosive ☁ Demanding ☁ High Strung ☁ Cold ☁ [color=#7CF9FF]▿[/color] ▵ [color=#7CF9FF]▿[/color] ▵ [color=#7CF9FF]▿[/color] ▵ [color=#7CF9FF]▿[/color] ▵ [color=#7CF9FF]▿[/color] ▵ [color=#7CF9FF]▿[/color] ▵ [/sub] [hider=▿ ▵ ▿ ▵] [sub][COLOR=7CF9FF][i] [sub][b][color=#7CF9FF]LIKES[/color][/b][/sub] apple juice ♘ writing ♘ working with his hands ♘ sleeping in ♘ stealing a nap in the middle of the day ♘ sugar cookies ♘ honey & vanilla scents ♘ chess [sub][b][color=#7CF9FF]DISLIKES[/color][/b][/sub] the smell of freshly cut grass ♞ orange juice ♞ sour candy ♞ people who smack their lips ♞ high pitched voices [/i][/COLOR][/sub][/hider][/center] [CENTER] [/center] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/rRYfx9q.png[/img][/center] [/cell][cell][sub][b][color=#7CF9FF] s k í l l s & w є α k n є s s є s [/color][/b][/sub] [sub][sup][color=7CF9FF]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub] [color=7CF9FF] [sub][b][color=#7CF9FF]STRENGTHS[/color][/b][/sub] [sub]Orion is a natural when it comes to elemental magic, particularly Electric spells. In fact, he’s trained so extensively with the element that his hair is always spiked up with static electricity, and making contact with him always results in a bit of a static discharge. He has an electrifying personality. He’s witty and has a quick tongue, forged in the fires of sibling banter. Orion loves making anyone he’s holding a conversation with feel like they’re the most important person in the world. In his humble opinion? If he’s talking to him, they must be at [i]least[/i] the second most important person, behind himself. Years of being told what he’s done wrong has helped Orion become a very self-aware person. It’s easy for him to admit his shortcomings or mistakes, and it’s even easier for him to discuss how to overcome them. He considers this his most valuable trait. He wouldn’t be nearly as successful at anything if he couldn’t admit when he’s wrong.[/sub] [sub][b][color=#7CF9FF]WEAKNESSES[/color][/b][/sub] [sub]Orion is stubborn. He’d rather spend three hours running into a brick wall head first than admit it would be simpler to go around it. It’s difficult for him to admit when he’s wrong, and when it comes down to it, he’s the type of person who would rather make a nickel his way than a dollar someone else’s way. He’s self-aware of this, but often finds himself in a trap of being unable to admit that he’s wrong and there’s a simpler way of doing it. Though he’s mostly capable of keeping a lid on it, he has an explosive temper. Orion does his best to keep appearances up and not let people know when he’s getting angry or close to losing it, but anyone who’s seen him get [i]truly[/i] upset knows his tells. A temper tantrum from Orion Graves is loud and sometimes violent. It’s well known that Mr. Graves is somewhat full of himself, but why wouldn’t he be? After years of exceeding the expectations of everyone but one man, it’s only natural that Orion thinks he’s at least a [i]little[/i] better than everyone else. It’s a mindset that can be spun positively or negatively, but unfortunately the way Orion looks at it varies from day to day.[/sub][/color] [sub][b][color=#7CF9FF]OUTLOOK / IDEALS / PERSPECTIVE [/color][/b][/sub] [sub][sup][color=7CF9FF]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub] [sub]For a long time, Orion believed what he’d been taught by his family: everyone who isn’t a member of a spellslinger family, and [i]especially[/i] anyone who wasn’t a member of a longstanding family like the Graves is simply lesser. It’s only been in the last few years that he’s really built an opinion of his own… the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree; Orion and his father arrived at [i]similar[/i] conclusions, for different reasons. While his father thinks other races and families are beneath them, Orion couldn’t believe that, not after meeting so many werewolves, vampires, and other spellslingers while at the Academy. No, Orion realized that others are, put simply, stupid. He’s seen vampire and werewolves nearly kill each other in the schoolyard because of family feuds dating back a thousand years, and he’s watched with disgust as other wizards simply laughed at them. He doesn’t understand why the wolves and bats don’t simply move on from things that happened before most of them existed. And, more importantly, he doesn’t understand why his fellow wizards seem to believe its not only acceptable, but [i]right[/i] to feel so above their peers that fights are something to be laughed at. It annoys him. And what annoys him even more is that there’s really nothing he can do about it. People will believe what they want to believe.[/sub] [sub][b][color=#7CF9FF]AMBITIONS[/color][/b][/sub] [sub][sup][color=7CF9FF]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub] [sub][color=#7CF9FF] ➽[/color]➽[color=#7CF9FF]➽[/color] Usurping his father as the patriarch of the Graves family and taking the family in a different, hopefully healthier direction[/sub] [sub][b][color=#7CF9FF]FEARS[/color][/b][/sub] [sub][sup][color=7CF9FF]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub] [sub][color=#7CF9FF] ➽[/color]➽[color=#7CF9FF]➽[/color] Failing.[/sub] [sub][b] [color=#7CF9FF]в í σ g r α p h ч[/color] [/b][/sub] [sub][sup][color=7CF9FF]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub] [hider=▿ ▵ ▿ ▵][color=7CF9FF][color=a100ff]“I don’t want [i]your[/i] best, I want you to be [i]the[/i] best.”[/color] Spoken by his father, those words constantly ring out in Orion Graves’s mind. From the moment he was born, immense pressure has weighed down on his shoulders. As the eldest child and only son, Orion is the one expected to carry on the family legacy. Despite his best efforts to live up to the lofty expectations his parents have for him, the goalposts have constantly moved. When he began to understand his natural affinity with electric themed magic at a young age, it wasn’t good enough. Why could understand the magic, but not cast spells? Another person may have crumbled under the heavy pressure, but Orion has always been determined to become the diamond his father expects him to be. Every day of his life has been filled with almost nonstop hard work fueled by an unhealthy obsession with becoming better. His father certainly wouldn’t tolerate mistakes, so why would he? Day in and day out he practiced spells, long before he entered the Academies. Orion managed to turn the way his father treated him into a positive; his ability to be studious has been invaluable during his career at the Academy. It isn’t all sunshine and rainbows though. He doesn’t handle failures well, and though he isn’t [i]too[/i] quick to anger, his explosive temper is well known to his close friends and siblings. Speaking of his siblings, Orion considers himself the ‘leader’ of the Graves trio, and his sisters would begrudgingly agree. As the oldest, Orion does his part in making sure that his sisters have a good time at the Academy, even if that means sometimes dealing with Delphi’s temper tantrums. At the Academy, Orion frequently works with younger students. He enjoys helping them learn in a way that’s less demanding than how his father taught him. His teachers look at him as a valuable assistant in the classroom, and a student who will always figure out whatever challenge they lay out for him. He does a good job of keeping his darker side to himself, something he works doubly hard on because he knows his father would be immensely disappointed if the cracks he’s been forming over the years began to show in public.[/color][/hider][/cell][/row][/table][/color][/hider] [hider= Noah | Werewolf ] [color=F3B40E][CENTER][img]https://i.imgur.com/W4NXCgh.png[/img][/CENTER] [table][row][/row][row][cell] [img]https://i.imgur.com/TPVeTPC.jpg[/img] [color=gray][sup]_______________________________________________[/sup][/color] [center][/center] [center][sub][color=#F3B40E]Noah Andrew Gates[/color] [color=#F3B40E]|[/color] Heterosexual [color=#F3B40E]|[/color] [color=#F3B40E] F3B40E[/color] [color=#F3B40E]|[/color] Werewolf [color=#F3B40E]✧[/color] ✧ [color=#F3B40E]✧[/color] ✧ [color=#F3B40E]✧[/color] ✧ [color=#F3B40E]✧[/color] ✧ [color=#F3B40E]✧[/color] ✧ [color=#F3B40E]✧[/color] ✧ 22 [color=#F3B40E]|[/color] Male [color=#F3B40E]|[/color] 6' [color=#F3B40E]|[/color] 4th [color=#F3B40E]▿[/color] ▵ [color=#F3B40E]▿[/color] ▵ [color=F3B40E]▿[/color] ▵ [color=F3B40E]▿[/color] ▵ [color=F3B40E]▿[/color] ▵ [color=#F3B40E]▿[/color] ▵ ☀ Outgoing ☀ Trustworthy ☀ Eager-to-Please ☀ Puppylike ☀ Spontaneous ☀ ☁ Energetic ☁ Loud ☁ Brash ☁ Overly Protective ☁ [color=#F3B40E]▿[/color] ▵ [color=#F3B40E]▿[/color] ▵ [color=#F3B40E]▿[/color] ▵ [color=#F3B40E]▿[/color] ▵ [color=#F3B40E]▿[/color] ▵ [color=#F3B40E]▿[/color] ▵ [/sub] [hider=▿ ▵ ▿ ▵] [sub][COLOR=F3B40E][i] [sub][b][color=#F3B40E]LIKES[/color][/b][/sub] ♝ scooby-doo ♝ cherry pie ♝ vanilla ice cream ♝ playing catch ♝ rolling in the grass ♝ [sub][b][color=#F3B40E]DISLIKES[/color][/b][/sub] ♜ the rain ♜ being wet ♜ strong smells ♜ cats ♜ overprotective ♜ [/i][/COLOR][/sub][/hider][/center] [CENTER] [/center] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/VjzLEP9.png[/img][/center] [/cell][cell][sub][b][color=#F3B40E] s k í l l s & w є α k n є s s є s [/color][/b][/sub] [sub][sup][color=F3B40E]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub] [color=F3B40E] [sub][b][color=#F3B40E]STRENGTHS[/color][/b][/sub] 𝒟𝑒𝓅𝑒𝓃𝒹𝒶𝒷𝓁𝑒 - [sub]Noah prides himself on being trustworthy. At times, he takes it a little too far, but all secrets are safe with him. He would never betray a friend, has never been late to something he said he’d attend, and is a very dependable person.[/sub] 𝒮𝓉𝓇𝑜𝓃𝑔 𝒩𝑜𝓈𝑒 - [sub]Even for a werewolf, Noah has a strong nose. He considers it both a blessing and a curse. Being able to pick up the scent of… everything can be overwhelming at times, but he’s learned to hone in on the ones he needs, and ignore the ones he doesn’t. With his nose, he’s a great tracker.[/sub] 𝒫𝑒𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒 𝒫𝑒𝓇𝓈𝑜𝓃 - [sub]The young werewolf is an inherently social person, and is at his best when interacting with others. Talking, playing games, or just spending time with his people is when he’s at his most comfortable. He also tends to be protective of his friends and loved ones, sometimes erring on the side of ‘over’protective.[/sub] [sub][b][color=#F3B40E]WEAKNESSES[/color][/b][/sub] 𝒩𝒶𝒾𝓋𝑒 - [sub]At times, Noah’s trusting nature leads him to be a bit naive. He’ll generally trust what anyone says and take their word at face value. He doesn’t really have a reason not to! Sometimes, this leads to him being picked on in ways he doesn’t even realize.[/sub] 𝒩𝑒𝑒𝒹𝓎 - [sub]Noah is needy. He needs almost constant attention, praise, and care from his peers and friends. He very quickly becomes sad if he isn’t given what he craves.[/sub] 𝒮𝑒𝓃𝓈𝒾𝓉𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝐻𝑒𝒶𝓇𝒾𝓃𝑔 - [sub]It’s probably because he’s a werewolf, but he’s very sensitive to loud sounds. Thunderstorms, fireworks, and similar noises scare the fuck out of him and send him straight into a spastic frenzy of fear. Yes, he bites when he’s like this.[/sub][/color] [sub][b][color=#F3B40E]OUTLOOK / IDEALS / PERSPECTIVE [/color][/b][/sub] [sub][sup][color=F3B40E]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub] [sub]Noah’s thoughts on the rest of the world can be summed up quite simply: he thinks anyone can be his friend. All he has to do is be friendly enough. Sure, the creatures of the night (that’s what his mom called vampires) are a bit rude at times and when he talks to them it seems like they might throw up at any time (Noah has to assume it’s the garlic bread he likes to eat), they can still be friends! To him, anyone can be a friend. Spellslingers and humans are easy enough to befriend, though Noah has been warned that humans most likely wouldn’t like it if he happened to turn into a raging dogbeast. He’s too naive and oftentimes too soft to really commit to the longstanding race war between his species and vampires. To his parents, this is a great disappointment.[/sub] [sub][b][color=#F3B40E]AMBITIONS[/color][/b][/sub] [sub][sup][color=F3B40E]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub] [sub][color=#F3B40E] ➽[/color]➽[color=#F3B40E]➽[/color] To make it through his six years at the Academy and then find a good job as a tracker or something and eat snacks and play catch with his friends for the rest of his life.[/sub] [sub][b][color=#F3B40E]FEARS[/color][/b][/sub] [sub][sup][color=F3B40E]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub] [sub][color=#F3B40E] ➽[/color]➽[color=#F3B40E]➽[/color] His parents pushing him toward a profession he doesn’t agree or have interest in.[/sub] [sub][b] [color=#F3B40E]в í σ g r α p h ч[/color] [/b][/sub] [sub][sup][color=F3B40E]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub] [hider=▿ ▵ ▿ ▵][color=F3B40E] The Gates family is well known in some circles of the Academies. While once rather unremarkable, the current heads of the family, William and his wife Sadie Gates are two longstanding and successful Seekers. Their job is quite simple: they capture members of the supernatural society who have broken the rules, dead or alive. When they had a son together, they had envisioned a world where they could raise him to join them in their career, and to follow the new family motto of ‘it’s only fun when they run.’ Noah Gates was only eight years old when they both realized he was never going to be what they wanted. They had taken the young werewolf out on a hunt, and when the time came to finish the job, their son wasn’t able to do it. Instead, he elected to take the rabbit they’d hunted together home. Since then, his parents have done almost everything they can to ‘toughen him up,’ and it’s led to him being a competent brawler, a talented hunter, and capable of holding his own in almost all tense situations… but it hasn’t led to him having a killer instinct. Noah is a softboy, much to both his parents' chagrin. Four years later, his parents gave up trying to make him into the killer they wanted and instead had a second child, his younger brother. His younger brother is proving to be everything his parents ever wanted, and Noah has sort of fallen to the background at home, but has been having a great time at the Academy — and isn’t looking forward to his upcoming final year at all. Returning back to the Gates estate is… not appealing.[/color][/hider] [/cell][/row][/table][/color] [/hider]
