cora musa

the owner / mami wata.

coded by xayah.ღ

❝ dossier. ❞
【name】— cordelia mae musa

【alias】— ms.coco or cora
【age】— 34 years old, quite young for a mami wata.
【gender】— female.
【sexuality】— pansexual
【p.o.b.】— north atlantic ocean, near the ivory coast.


❝ visage. ❞
【appearance】—
dark skin adorned in the finest of jewels and silks. shark like teeth carefully hidden behind full ruby red lips. cordelia is a woman who is both worldly and other. at first glance she seems to be the typical woman of her era. with silky black hair styled in elegant finger waves and bold makeup, there is nothing that sets her apart from the women of her time. yet there is a certain magnetic pull, the type of gravitational pull that beckons those to enter her orbit. cordelia is a strange beautiful, not traditional by any means as you look closer. her skin seems to shimmer with an iridescent glow, the texture giving the appearance of scales under certain lights. while her eyes are a vivid blue. the color holds all the similarities to the ocean on a sunny day.

she has been called unnerving when people believe that she is out of earshot. the type of woman who is sometimes hard to look at but is no less enchanting. her body speaks of strength, though it is often hidden behind luxurious clothes. statuquese and sturdy are the best ways to describe her, a seemingly soft body that does not look that it has the strength that it does.

❝ persona. ❞
【personality】— when faced with cordelia there’s an aura of mystery that surrounds her. she has never been one to offer much about herself, she intentionally keeps her life private. there are secrets within her that she has no intention of sharing, parts of her that she keeps tucked away behind lock and key. cordelia knows that most people can’t turn away a good mystery. she’s aware of the fact that her elusive nature makes her all the more appealing to those who wish to figure her out. like a skilled fisher, she plays a game of catch and release with those around her. cordelia offers bits of information yet nothing that makes others feel as if they truly know her. let them guess, she says, and let them return to her in hopes of knowing her better. their curiosity and fascination are more often than not, their downfall. it’s a game she's fond of and she favors the ones who give her a challenge.

when first witnessing the art of seduction and manipulation, cordelia found herself enthralled. with rapt attention she watched members of her pod as they taught her their craft. it amazed her to think of the lengths humans would go to for someone they found attractive. cordelia was like a sponge. with the inspiration from tales of those before her there was little that could stop her from blossoming into such a being herself. she became a well read woman, a worldly temptress who could not only ensnare hearts, but minds as well. cordelia excelled in the art of reading others, letting their bodies show her the truth of their person. in her life, talk could mean little. she couldn’t trust others to tell her the truth and so she would find it herself. she has made a game out of it. when she’s bored and has others around she usually tries to get a read on them, tries to figure out their character without the use of words. it’s almost frightening how accurate she can be at times.

there’s a level of perfectionism that is required in her work and cordelia is likely to be above that level. she’s a careful person, even in her everyday life. mistakes aren’t welcomed nor does she like to second guess herself. she is definitely someone who lives by a schedule, she carefully plans her day out. being so organized helps her navigate through the busy life that she has. it borders on paranoia honesty. she is always watching her back and keeping her moves tucked closely to her chest. she has a bad habit of jumping to conclusions and envisioning the worse case scenario. no matter how confident cordelia claims to be she is also quite the worrywart and prone to getting in her own head.

cordelia possesses a rather intense amount of determination. she has a one track mind when it comes to her goals and her desires. cordelia is constantly looking to improve herself, she fears the thought of the past repeating itself so much tithe point that it can blind her. much like a shark with a drop of blood in the water, her tasks are handled with unwavering focus. cordelia is an ambitious woman with high goals for herself and her organization, and she plans on surpassing every single.

to the outside world she carries herself in a poised manner. cordelia very conscious of her appearance and thus makes an effort to go out in the world looking well put together. she is charming woman who always uses her manners. that, of course, is merely a facade. one of the many layers that hide her true form. when stripped of her social niceties, when there is nothing left but who she is to her very core, cordelia is a scary individual. her beautiful visage hides someone who had all the similarities of a predator, a wild thing that she needs to keep caged within herself until she can truly let loose. there’s ways to catch a glimpse of it. when her eyes have that unnerving glint in them, when her smile seems to be hiding sharp teeth. cordelia can be a cruel woman who has a knack for pushing people to the edge just because she can. the people have seen that side of her, the violence that she is truly capable of, have long left the world by her hands. none of them live to tell the tale and she makes sure of it. there is a rage inside of her, a thirst for justice and vengeance that may swallow her whole.

❝ I've run out of my words, my song
Just let me die, me die ❞​

❝ dossier. ❞

【name】— ciarán flynn o'hegarty



【alias】— catcher

【age】— 118, he estimates as he stopped counting after his "death".

【gender】— male

【sexuality】— heterosexual?

【p.o.b.】— emyvale, county monaghan, ireland





❝ visage. ❞

【appearance】—

eyes the color of soot and a ever-present frown mar the face of catcher o'hegarty. a litany of old, long healed scars mark up the left side of his face. his beard covers most of them, but they peak out enough to be noticeable when looked directly at. his pallor could be described as paler than usual as his blood no longer pumps through his veins. a sickening, deep black and spider-webbing scar circles the entirety of his neck. his head, though often attached, has the ability to be removed and that spider-web pattern continues over the headless stump.

a man one would find frightening in the dark of an alley, catcher cuts an imposing figure with his broad shoulders and near towering stature. he's quite tall for the time, a man of six foot three and some change. he's far from scrawny either as his line of work before death gave him an adequate muscle mass.



❝ persona. ❞

【personality】— catcher is a man of few words. he tends to keep to himself unless being directly spoken to. he's forgotten if this was how he always was or if his distant demeanor is a byproduct of his "condition". in some aspects, this quietness can be seen in a positive light. he doesn't draw attention to himself and is known to be a good listener. one shouldn't take his silence as a lack of intellect, though as catcher is quite sharp when he needs to be. book smarts are not his expertise, but he has a wealth of street sense and a quick wit. ever curious, catcher often finds himself caught up in this or that. he likes to learn and will usually get distracted by things that interest him.

despite his quiet nature, catcher is a loudly protective and loyal companion. loyalty comes in small doses and catcher values his great wealth of it. when wielded correctly, he is quite the weapon to behold. his years of existence have given catcher a strong inner drive and made him an adaptable man. he is a planner at heart and rarely goes into anything without a plan ahead of it. that ever-prepared nature makes catcher a temperate man who rarely loses his cool. level-headed and intuitive, catcher does well in high-stress situations. catcher's cool-headedness makes him highly focused and dedicated to the things he applies himself to. with laser focus, catcher gets things done.

a man jaded by life and the afterlife, catcher is a cynic at heart. he finds it hard to trust others and is no stranger to voicing his doubts whenever an opportunity arises. catcher expects others to disappoint him so that he's never really let down. perhaps it's his inability to trust things to work out that makes catcher as grumpy as he is, but he'll tell you it's because he's 118 and is tired of the toil. he can be a bit lethargic and often starts arguments for the sake of arguing. catcher likes things to be done fast so he's quite quick to lose his patience. laid-back or blase attitudes frustrate him and he finds it hard to get along with people who don't work efficiently.

despite his want to get things done as fast as possible, catcher is a perfectionist. it often causes him issues when completing tasks as he wants to get things done fast but perfectly at the same time, a feat that is often impossible. he also tends to not work well with others because of this. if you want things done right you do them yourself after all. when he does work with others, though, he expects perfection. catcher's life has left him a bit resentful of life. nothing has ever gone quite right for him which only compounds his mistrustful and isolationist nature. stubborn and sarcastic, catcher isn't the most friendly man out there.

❝ supernatural file. ❞

【species】— dullahan

【info】— the dullahan are irish unseelie fae who are associated with death or the foretelling of death. they are often depicted without or holding their heads in their hands,

【abilities】—

semi-invincible - save for the head. dullhan are practically invincible. they heal quickly and can take an innumerable amount of damage before they stop.

unnatural strength - their supernatural nature gives the dullahan a strength that is almost double that of a human.

terrifying presence - a dullahan has the ability to petrify most normal humans, their mere presence can cause a horrible sense of terror in a human.




【drawbacks】—

silver - like most fae, dullhan are weak to silver and it can incapacitate them for quite a while if struck with a silver weapon

weak to head injuries - the only way to truly kill a dullahan is to destroy the head, most fight without their head and keep it in a safe space because of this.

uncoordinated - when without their heads, dullahan are uncoordinated as it's difficult to control their bodies without it. because of this, most dullahan are brute force fighters rather than skilled in any form of combat.




❝ history. ❞

【background】—
ciarán o'hegarty was born in the winter of 1801 in the village of emyvale, ireland. the first-born son of a blacksmith, he was born into a respectable family of some standing in his village. his father was the only blacksmith in emyvale, small as it was, so that gave him a certain sway over the people there. catcher's childhood was largely untroubled and he was known to be a hard-working assistant to his father and any other who should need his help. his father was proud of his child and often boasted of the skill that catcher would have when he grew of age to take over the smithy. catcher's three other siblings, all girls, were closer to their mother than he and his father. but, there was aila who was just a year or so younger than him and was quite close to catcher. the two of them often got into trouble together and it irked their parents to no end. as they grew, thick as thieves, they were inseparable. catcher was just fifteen summers when aila caught the scarlet fever and left him behind. he might attribute the passing of his sister as the reason for his demeanor today, but the world was far from done with him.

maeve bannan was a brilliant woman, one whom catcher had been taken to since they were quite young. he saw her as one of the only reasons he didn't leave emyvale behind when his sister did. they were childhood sweethearts and married just after catcher's twentieth birthday. those years with maeve were some of the happiest of catcher's life. the two of them moved into a house catcher and his father had built and catcher was just starting to take over the smithy. the future as it looked from then was bright. maeve fell pregnant two years after their marriage. catcher was gone to dublin to buy supplies when she went into labor. he wasn't there when their baby was born still and his wife passed less than an hour later. ciarán o'hegarty came home to his family gone and the life they were building crumbled to pieces. despite his mother's begging, catcher would soon set away from emyvale and would never return.

he spends a few years wandering, with no place to go and no goals in mind. those years are lost to catcher as he hardly remembers anything outside of the fog of alcohol-induced stupor and aimlessness. his arrival in county kilkenny would put him on a more straight path. he became a constable and settles into his work for a good number of years. the work was good, it kept him busy and away from the drink. catcher thought it might work out for him in the end, but again, the world had other plans. the tithe war was a near bloodless war, one that catcher felt far from even as he worked for the people that enforced the tithes. so when the process server he was sent out to protect, along with twelve other constables, was brutally murdered it came as a terrible shock. of course, he wasn't shocked for long as he and his companions quickly followed their charge. catcher was beheaded in the fight, a fate that would seal his eternal suffering in undeath.

catcher was only afforded rest for six days and nights before he clawed his way out of his grave as something wicked. confused and terrified, catcher almost caught his second death as he wandered into the village where he was buried. he had been returned to emyvale, buried next to his late wife. but the villagers were much less than welcoming to a dead man walking their streets. he was forced to run again from his home. the newly born dullahan would spend four years in the wilds of ireland, alone until a group of men entered his forest. these were hunters, men sent specifically for the purpose of killing the dullahan that haunted their lands. there was nowhere to run this time and catcher had the blood of seven men on his hands when he boarded a ship to america.

with his homeland left behind, catcher stepped foot in the harbors of new york sometime in 1919. his strength would find him a job hauling goods to and from the harbor. this was until he learned of the skulk and would leave new york's harbor behind to find his place in the fox hole among people he felt at home around for the first time in his undeath.

 

[orpheus.]

"Countless pleasures cannot tint the flavor of etrenal loneliness that my kind reluctantly covets...
However,
I enjoy putting on the skins of something less...carnivorous.
Better to be longed for than be reviled as the monster everyone can't even possibly fathom."​

  overall

  
  

  Often likened to a bird, Háo Xi prefers to bind their chest and keep their hair to a cropped length. Quick to turn fussy when she feels encumbered by her physical form, it's clear where the comparison to a robin or a chickadee may come from. Her light-as-a-feather grace and practicality regarding her physicality enables her to avoid much of the inconveniences she suffered prior to striking out on her own. Remarked for most of their life for their traditionally feminine beauty and oft forced into forms they'd rather not take, they take back ownership in the small ways they can. Nothing terribly drastic, but they believe by devoiding themself from as much of the past chains that shackled her to her body, she can forget the missing bits. Moth wings stolen long ago, tendril growths ever-trimmed from a young age, and the suffocating nature of the makeup used to cover up the bits of chlorophyll-shimmer green on their body, Verona has always been separate from this body. It's only in recent years that they've found some connection to it.

  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  
  

  fae qualities

  
  

  Wings — prior to their wings being cut at the age of 16, they were similar to a luna moth’s. They begin to grow back and molt every seven years. They are unsure if they will cut them this year or not.
  Tendrils — from her temples and areas where lymph nodes typically appear (i.e. the neck, the armpit, and abdomen), she is known to grow greenish-white vines that are most like ivy. If they were allowed to grow out, they would also blossom leaves and Lily of the Valley.
  Chlorophyll — across her body and depending on how much time she’s spent under the moonlight, Háo Xi will have patches of green appear on her body.'

  You were born with a gift, Háo Xi. What exactly is this gift, though?
  
  It is not the tranquility and peace offered in their gaze and in their grasp. They are the salt of the earth, and kindness exudes from every pore in search of the sun to warm them. Really, this is all Háo Xi wants: to be held by something other than the soft bits of greenery that protrude from various points along their body. This goal and the means by which she goals about searching for it (i.e. anonymous, sly letters, offering their services free of charge, helping whenever they can and being at beck and call for whomever chooses them, etc.) are not ideal. This is a curse.
  
  It is not the way that VERONA crafts everything with love and with hate. It is close, but no cigar. Her gentle, deft hands work a sharp, devilish shine into the barrel of an enchanted pistol. Her plucky, stubby fingers intertwine wires like the roots of a tree. There is life that bursts from their palms, deliberate and sparking with the same affection that she approaches humans. There’s something close to love in these moments. When her intelligence, her mastery, is tested, there is another beast that roars. VERONA takes root, if they weren’t already the star of the show, and snaps something quippy, something sarcastic and overly confident. They want nothing more than to close the door in the face of all those who have beaten and abandoned them and even more so for those who question them. This is a curse.
  
  It is not in the way that they will grasp onto the coattails of almost anyone, provided you don’t kick them in the teeth. It is not in the way that they want all hands and arms on them and simultaneously all eyes away from them. They want love; they want hate. “You are so tempestuous!” their mother told them one night at the height of their familial discontent. “It is a curse,” they replied.
  
  So what is the gift?

  failure, failure, failure. There’s multiple fears that Háo Xi holds, but it is more often than not the case that they work back into the overarching fear of failure.

  At present, Verona is focused on their work for the Fox Hole and the Musa family. They care very little about much else. Her current project involves creating modifications that can be added to any automatic weapon to make it take on magical properties, along with rewiring the stage lights so they’re easier to maneuver using magic. On a familial level, there is a part of Háo Xi that lusts after being the genius that everyone wanted her to be, and some element of this carries over into their current work.

  ⁂ Háo Xi is born as an only child to the Tsai family, specifically to Quan Xi, her mother, and Hao Yu, her father. She is effectively an heiress from birth.
  ⁂ At the age of six or seven, Háo Xi is identified as a potential prodigy of math and is particularly recognized for her skills with telecommunications engineering. She takes on a role in the semi-spotlight, especially in the Manhattan society papers and during the Great War. The family’s company, Tsai Manufacturing, is known for releasing advertisements featuring the young Tsai heavily and her mother parades her around as a show pony for much of this era of her life.
  ⁂ Additionally, given her nature as a half-fae, Háo Xi is forced to continually hide her identity despite her father’s insistence that she learn about that aspect of her heritage. Her parents begin to live separately but do not divorce when she turns 12 because of this difference in parenting styles.
  ⁂ She is heavily bullied from a young age due to her status as a prodigy.

  ⁂ Around the age of 16, Háo Xi has graduated from Columbia University and joins the engineering team for the newest model of switchboards that the company is set to release. Some percentage of the manufacturing power of the company was attributed towards producing radios and other necessary bits of technology for the war effort. Attempting to produce both for the war and for consumers proved costly, and following the Great War, Tsai Manufacturing defaults on its loans. Furthermore, Quan Xi is accused of and found guilty for tax fraud. Due to the bad publicity, the company is unable to move and sell any of its newly produced switchboards, and therefore files for bankruptcy.
  ⁂ While this is considered a financial hit to the family, they are still decently well-off albeit wholly middle class. It appears that the loss of the business hit Quanxi hard, but it ultimately allowed she and her husband to reconcile. Rather, it forced them to live together once more, resulting in some reconciliation after a year or so of being at each other’s throats.
  ⁂ During these years, at 16, she met someone known as Lionel, a first friend in a long time. He wormed his way into her heart, only to steal her wings, which are known to offer life-extending qualities. When she told her mother of this, Quan Xi called it a blessing in disguise.
  ⁂ The sister company to Tsai Manufacturing, one that Quanxi’s mother and Haoxi’s grandmother started, called Shòu Technologies begins to be a major focus of the family. It was primarily a producer for other companies telephones, radios, and other telecommunications, but given the failing of Tsai Manufacturing, Quan Xi began to hope that her daughter might be able to turn it around by relying on what has always worked: her daughter’s pretty face and magnificent brain. Pressures mounted, and 18 years of resentment bubbled over. When Háo Xi revealed that she would only return as a spokesperson provided she could use her public persona to push for legislation regarding the intermixing of magic with telecommunications technology, the two women butted heads. They tried, for a period, to get along, but ultimately, Háo Xi ended up alone.
  ⁂ Somewhere in there, they found the Fox Hole. For the past three or so years, they’ve been working underground as the head of tech and taking their gifts for both engineering and dark magic to weave new weapons for Miss Coco and the Musa family

  the family

  
  
  
  

  
  occupation: theatrical technician + weapons supplier
  how were they recruited?: They became a long-time patron and overall street rat for the Fox Hole, and I’d like to think that after awhile, they came to Miss Coco and asked her to let them run the stage for a night. The weapons manufacturing came later after it was learned that Háo Xi used to be the face and partial brains behind a major telecommunications manufacturing company.
  years of employment: approx. 2 years (since she was 20)
  abilities (if any): Black magic practitioner who can create sigils that give magical properties to the object they are engrained on.
  strengths: Sigil-crafting, plant-related dilemmas, math, and engineering.
  weaknesses: weak to almost all physical combat
  crimes: The only crime they’d committed before joining the family are the pieces of magically-imbued technology that they’d created in secret.
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  
  

  
  
  

  
  
  

  the stage

  
  
  
  

  the heirlooms

  
  
  
  

  
  At the back of the house, sitting upon their pearly stand, they craft a stage with love.
  
  At age 18, Háo Xi left home and officially became known as Verona. They took a meager amount of savings earned from their years as an engineering for Tsai Manufacturing, and they rented a small apartment in Harlem. From there, they got a job as a secretary and switchboard/telegram operator. In this freedom, they’d fallen in love with the nightlife, particularly the Fox Hole. They’d begun to miss the feeling of creation that comes to them whenever they get a few bits of wire and spark, so they offered up their services (rather, they told Miss Coco they could have the stage brighter, the mic louder, and absolutely no technical difficulties if they were allowed at the back of the house).
  
  Verona is known for working quietly as a mouse, but they come alive during sound check. They can do almost anything that is asked of them by the owner, the performers, etc. Indeed, with them at the technical helm, the lights are brighter, the mic is louder, and there are no technical difficulties. Each night at the Fox Hole is sparkling from the inside out, drenched in a technicolor dream of Háo Xi’s creation.
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  
  

  
  
  

  
  
  

  the backrooms

  
  
  
  

  the artificier

  
  
  
  

  
  n the back, where no light reaches, or perhaps in their dingy little studio apartment with the blinds drawn, Verona creates with hate.
  
  There are two sides to Háo Xi, and this is perhaps the version that causes the unsavory bits, the god-like intuitions, the belief that there is no end to their genius and their might. A painter at heart, their father taught them the sigils of the Fae and showed her how to use black magic to turn the characters of her mother’s tongue into symbols of equal fortitude. It originally began with that switchboard, the one that did, for a brief moment, change the industry. What Hao Xi doesn’t know but does suspect is that her mother was accused of tax fraud because of the singular piece, a spring with a small, tapped-in engraving of “盾”. In testing, it made the switchboard impervious to overloading and dangerous sparking that could cause fires. Suffice to say, it made it one of the safest piece of electrical technology available for the time.
  
  Háo Xi later realized this stupidity. Verona saw it as genius.
  
  It all started with a switchboard, then a telephone receiver, then the telephone lines — countless diagrams, countless sigils. A majority of them have gone unused, and some have been used around the club.
  
  When it came to weaponry, it all happened by chance. It all happened on purpose, really. They weren’t known for being trigger happy, but there is something powerful in creating something that destroys. Much like the switchboard, they used the same sigil, engrained onto the barrel of a pistol, and it prevented blow back and allowed the user to hold it steady. They’ve only gotten more extravagant from there, with Háo Xi utilizing both non-magical and magical skills to modify and mass produce parts and engraving kits that allow for almost any gun, knife, or other weapon to be improved and given otherworldly properties.

  race: Half-Fae
  abilities:
  Arbor + Anima Speak — the ability to communicate with flora and fauna. This is how Háo Xi can cause plants to grow at an expedited rate
  Sigil-crafting — a practitioner of black magic, Verona is able to create sigils that can take on a magical property of their choosing.
  Tendrils — she can utilize her growths kinda like limbs thought they have the same physical properties as a root.
  limitations:
  Morning Glory — due to her penchant for the darker forms of magic, her abilities are heightened at night and are dimmed significantly during the day.
  Physicality — due to the way in which her family takes so heavily after both insects and plants in terms of their physical attributes, it is extremely easy for Háo Xi to be wounded.
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  
  

  
  
  

  
  
  

  the dynasty

  
  
  
  

  it runs in the family

  
  
  
  

  
  The Tsai family dynasty first began with the invention of the telephone, of which Háo Xi’s grandmother was not credited for despite her instrumental role. In retaliation, Mrs. Tsai took her meager earnings from her time as an assistant and formed her own company, Shòu Technologies. From there, the empire was built, and the company became known for several inventions in both the radio, telephone, and telegram spheres. In fact, her company became known for its patriotism when it assisted in intelligence for the Spanish-American War.
  
  Quan Xi took up her mother’s torch and expanded the family business, creating Tsai Manufacturing when she came of age. As is discussed in the history section of this app, Tsai Manufacturing eventually fell under.
  
  Prior to this, Tsai Manufacturing arguably put the family in the spotlight more than Shòu Technologies did. With the added benefit and prestige that Háo Xi brought to the family name, the Tsai name officially earned its spot in Manhattan society papers. Of course, the higher the climb, the more devastating the fall.
  
  Since then, the Tsai family has tried to utilize the existing Shòu Technologies to set the record straight. However, with Háo Xi’s continued resistance, Quan Xi is at a loss on how to rejuvenate the family name. It is partially because of Quan Xi’s emphasis on the public persona that has stalled any creative technological thinking, despite her doctorate in engineering. There is only her husband, who has finally come around to playing the game of status following the loss of funds and extravagance.
  
  Overall, that appears to be the crux of the dynasty, the Achilles heel. In an attempt to fit into a world that they so want to be apart of and be respected within, the Tsai women have lost themselves. Háo Xi’s grandmother allowed the curse to consume her, forcing a similar pressure on Quan Xi that was later put onto Háo Xi. Quan Xi fell similarly, obsessed with image, money, and prestige. It is only Háo Xi who questions if the curse is real, if perhaps it is the world that needs changing, that the Tsai family.
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  
  

  
  
  

  
  
  

  the curse

  
  
  
  

  battle tendency

  
  
  
  

  
  Something that I haven’t touched on a whole bunch in the app is THE CURSE. It is not something that gets brought up a whole bunch within Háo Xi’s daily life, but it is a defining characteristic of her family. On her maternal side of the family, where she gets her Fae blood from, it is believed that a witch cursed them with a bout of unluckiness, beginning first with taking their ancestor away from safety of the glen where they resided. In the generations since, there has always been an instance of great misfortune, and in every generation since, there has always been an obsession with overcoming the curse in both a magical and non-magical sense.
  
  It’s believed that the curse caused Háo Xi’s grandmother to go uncredited and for Quan Xi to be accused and found guilty of tax fraud. As mentioned, Háo Xi doesn’t know what to make of the curse, and I have purposefully left it open-ended if the curse is real or not, especially because much of the misfortunes suffered relate to the otherness that the Tsai family has experienced as a marginalized family.

  Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

VISAGE
NAME: abraham virgil everhart
NICKNAMES: bram, abe, evy (pronounced EH-VEE)
AGE: 32 years old
GENDER: cis-male
ORIENTATION: homosexual
P.O.B: chicago, il

APPEARANCE
GENERAL APPEARANCE: abraham's everyday appearance is fairly unassuming and would scarcely disclose his nocturnal proclivities to the uninformed. he's just about average height but he's narrowly shouldered and not particularly well muscled. in his youth he was considered to be fairly 'scrawny,' especially when compared to his brothers, which he's mostly grown out of by now and he fairly happily falls more so into an 'average' category. his facial features are more striking with a broad square jaw and luminous blue eyes, both of which he retains while he's within his lupine form. he tends to keep clean shaven but has been known to sport a little bit of scruff when he gets caught up in work or other acts that draw his attention away from his personal grooming, but generally he keeps pretty on top of that aspect of his life as he tries to reduce the amount of time he spends covered in fur to just the full moons. in terms of clothing he sticks to more neutral colors so as to blend in among the rest of the city's population though he does tend to steer towards slightly more upper class styles, a leftover habit from being brought up by his wealthy family.
HEIGHT: 5ft 10in
WEIGHT: 150lbs
HAIR COLOR: brown
EYE COLOR: blue
BUILD: lean
FACECLAIM: tobey maguire

PERSONA
PERSONALITY: raised in a fairly reserved class of people instilled abraham with many of those 'upper-crust' qualities such as going out of his way to be polite, observant, and welcoming. it's more so ingrained into his head to act in this way rather than his own choice, he'd rather not take up much space at all. being quiet and unnoticed is his preference so don't take it personally if he seems to ignore you. he's not trying to be rude, in fact it's just the opposite since he's usually wearing his heart out on his sleeve despite his desire to be more cloistered in terms of his emotions. though his emotions tends to spill out if he's not careful, he is however very good at keeping certain undesirable aspects of his life. he'd rather let other's make their judgements of him based on his merit and outward persona rather than how they feel about his sexual inclinations or canine habits. he's grappled with a great deal of internalized guilt and shame over those parts of himself, in a strange way becoming a werewolf has actually made him more comfortable with his sexuality as he's realized there are worse things to be rather than in love with the same sex. it takes him a long time to truly warm up and be himself around others, mainly since he doesn't really feel as though he has a good, solid grasp on who he actually is. but he's hopeful to find out one of these days.
LIKES: slow jazz, dry martinis, well made clothes, moonlit nights, silence, libraries, rain tapping on a window at night, honey, his pocket watch, the smell of leather
DISLIKES: loud environments, bright lights, bourbon, silver, getting underestimated, being ignored, hot days, crooked hems, the color green, edgar allen poe
HOBBIES: reading, walking, organizing his surroundings
AMBITIONS: living a honest life with minimal chaos, finding where he belongs
FEARS: getting outed as either a werewolf or a homosexual, being alone forever

SPECIES FILE

RACE: lycanthrope (werewolf)
ABILITIES:

• enhanced senses - some have accused abraham of being 'sensitive' since he tends to become overwhelmed by certain smells, sounds, even tastes or visual sights that might leave others nonplussed. this is all thanks to his werewolf bite, ever since the canine dna started flowing through his veins his senses have been cranked up to eleven so to speak. it's not all bad though as he's now able to hear conversations from other rooms, smell whether or not someone's being truthful or not about their sobriety status.
• enhanced strength and speed - while not looking particularly strong, feats of strength or stamina come easy to him. he's always carrying all his own suitcases from place to place when on a trip and often chooses to walk as his preferred method of transport since he can cover city blocks without breaking much of a sweat.
• accelerated healing - out of necessity to account for the physical strain that occurs during a full moon transformation his body heals at a much quicker rate than that of a non-lycanthrope. a fractured bone sets and heals within a few days, maybe a week if it's particularly nasty, cuts and wounds are healed to scars within a few hours and eventually faded away to faint white lines, and he hasn't come down with a virus of any kind since his bite. it comes in handy sure, but explaining why he's suddenly missing a six inch gash on his arm is a bit of a song and dance.
• night vision - sort of a subset to his enhanced senses, abraham doesn't need an oil lamp to make sense of his surroundings in the dark. the ability he developed to hunt for prey during the night as a wolf has also come in handy when keeping an eye out for miscreants or other trouble when walking home past sunset.
• wolf transformation - the most obvious result of lycanthropy. once a month during the full moon he leaves his humanity behind as the inner beast takes hold. in this form he resembles a regular wolf, though somewhat larger. in theory it sounds like a pretty interesting power that could be of potential use, however he scarcely thinks of it in that way. he despises the way in which he is forced to lose control of himself and submit to his instincts. the worst aspect of course being that while in his alternate form he's essentially in a fugue blackout state, retaining no memories of his actions or experiences during the full moon.

LIMITATIONS:

• silver - being the purest metal there is, when in contact with certain things that are more 'impure' there can be dire consequences. while a wound created with a blade or weapon of any other metal will heal within days, an injury inflicted with something crafted of silver will instead linger and even fester. merely touching the metal alone doesn't result in any negative effects, but abraham tends to avoid it nonetheless.
• wolfsbane - a flower from the buttercup family, also sometimes known as monkswood, acts similarly to garlic and the way it repels vampires as it does to werewolves. it's not exactly disastrous for him to be in the same room as this plant, but it is uncomfortable and generally leads to him beginning to seek the nearest exit.
• overstimulation - more so a result of his enhanced senses rather than an individual weakness. the collection of sensitives that abraham possesses can overwhelm him fairly easily. he tends to stick to the quieter areas of the world where he's more in control of his surroundings, hence why he prefers to stay behind the scenes at the club rather than in the forefront of the action.

EXTRA INFO: you'd hardly notice it, but the canines of his teeth are a little sharper than that of a human's.

EMPLOYEE FILE

OCCUPATION: Bookkeeper, or to put it simple, the one who keeps handles and keeps track of the finances.
HOW WERE THEY RECRUITED?: his enjoyment of jazz music lead him down to the club one night to see a performance as his route from his last job to his apartment lead him past the doors of the club, many times he strode by and heard the commotion within spilling out onto the street but only once did it eventually pull him inside. it was sort of strange considering how he tends to steer away form busy and loud environments, but the magnetism he felt was undeniable. while enjoying the music he struck up a conversation with an employee of the club and his interest drifted towards the finances since he assumed a successful establishment would be doing well in that sense. however when the fact that the club did not have a designated individual to handle their finances he mentioned offhandedly that he was an that line of work. a few weeks later he was offered the position.
YEARS OF EMPLOYMENT: two years
ABILITIES:

• accounting and mathematical knowledge - thanks to his family's status abraham was able to attend college and obtain a degree in accounting. going to school in itself was fairly easy for him as he's been good at academic subjects, particularly anything with numbers. he's been working in some capacity as an accountant since he graduated at twenty-two
• efficient liar - there's been a reason to lie to others present in his life ever since he was young, starting with trivial things such as attempting to shirk the blame when his parents confronted him about a broken vase, to his sexuality as he began to realize that his attraction to the same sex was not something that would be going away. all the practice has made him a very smooth liar for things as trivial or as major as they happen to be. Which comes in handy these days as he tends to keep his status as a werewolf under his hat.
• confession facilitator - abraham tends to be labeled as 'non-threatening' by most and thus they often relax around him either intentionally or simply unconsciously. this leads to people letting slip certain things that maybe they shouldn't believing that their secret will be safe with a nobody like him. rarely do they ever realize that he's more connected than he seems.

STRENGTHS:

• loyal - he knows what it feels like to be left behind by someone whom you thought you could trust, he doesn't throw around his allegiance lightly so when he commits to being a friend, or employee, to someone he takes the task on seriously.
• secretive - keeping secrets has been a part of his life since essentially as far back as he can remember. as irritating as it can be, it's actually very useful in his line of work. with a mind like a steel trap there's little chance for error when he's crunching the numbers at work or protecting any other sensitive information he may come across.
• focused - when there is a task at hand, particularly one of importance, it's like there may as well be nothing else in the world. he does have to be careful not to let himself get entirely swallowed up by whatever it is he's working on, but intense focus tends to happen without his conscious thought, it just happens.
• perceptive - a combination of his lycanthropy that's enhanced his senses and natural proclivity to picking up the little things around him. when meeting a person for the first time he tends to assemble a sort of 'profile' in his mind about him based off of whatever information he gathers.
• tidy - keeping a tight ship was a necessity in his childhood home, but unlike his brothers abraham actually enjoys the act of arranging his home or workspace into one that's as close to spotless as he can get it without losing functionality.

WEAKNESSES:

• timid - even though he can tear a door from its hinges without much effort, the task of raising his voice and sticking his neck out are two things he'd much rather go without doing.
• overthinking - abraham makes pretty much no decision in life without agonizing extensively over it for an excessive amount of time beforehand.
• pedantic - also sometimes referred to as 'pretentious' for the same reasons, he simply hasn't been able to shake off the things he learned in his prestigious schooling. he often doesn't realize when he's doing it that correcting another's grammar or fact is fairly aggravating to most. it simply comes naturally to him.
• withdrawn - the environment of the club is hot and boisterous, but abraham would much rather stay behind the scenes and not makes waves. he often has to be practically pushed outside of his comfort zone when it comes to anything other than going to work and going back home.
• workaholic - being that there isn't always a whole lot going on in his personal life, he tends to throw himself entirely into his own work. leading to his own detriment at times.

CRIMES: bribery, fraud, and money laundering, all done at the request of his various past employers who in return ensured that he was never caught for the acts. he was also once briefly arrested for sodomy but was able to call in a favor from a former co-worker who pulled some strings and got the charges dropped.

TIME MACHINE
HISTORY: born to richard and maude everhart in chicago, illinois, abraham was preceded by his two older brothers gideon and ephraim, and was always considered to be sort of a wallflower by those in and around his family. his father worked at a well-respected bank in the area that he'd inherited a high power position in from his own father. most of abraham's early life revolved around keeping a low profile at family parties and staying out of trouble at home, instead putting most of his energy and time into doing well in school. He was also often regarded as being 'touched in the head' due to his certain habits and aversions to various things that were otherwise considered normal by the rest of his family and peers. his performance in school ended up taking the heat off of his odd tendencies, his traits then being associated with his academic prowess instead.

in his youth he realized that he felt no attraction to the women that drove his brothers crazy. at the time he assumed that it would be something he would eventually grow into. thinking that the delay was another one of his own quirks. eventually the thought falling towards the back of his mind while he feigned interest so as to not give any more ammunition towards those who liked to pick him apart.

as he aged the pressure to conform to what his brothers and father were doing followed him closely, thus he wielded his knowledge towards a mathematics degree. once he graduated he was given a job by his father. the mundane lifestyle that came with it made it clear early on to him that it wasn't particularly what he wanted to do, but he didn't know anything else. so instead he muddled on.

in his early twenties he realized that it wasn't just the lack of attraction to the opposite sex that he felt, but the presence of an attraction towards other men. he struggled to come to terms with this aspect of his life, grappling with intense shame he felt and fear as he was scared of the consequences of what his family would think should they ever find out. for a while he tried to ignore the state of his sexuality, but found ultimately it was of no use. much of his energy went to attempting to repress this part of himself and simply ignore it. slowly becoming harder and harder to do as his family started asking him when he would take a wife like his brothers.

one evening on his way from work he accidentally stepped off the bus a few stops too early, leading to him needing to walk the final few miles to his home after he was unable to catch the bus once more. as he made his way down the dark streets there was an unshakeable feeling that something was wrong. just a few blocks from his destination he realized there was someone following him, before he could begin to conceive of an idea to evade them or shake them off, he was dragged off the street and everything went black.

when he awoke he was in the hospital with unusual wounds. the doctors wrote it off as a rogue coyote attack. he was supposed to stay in the hospital for a few weeks, but after a few days his wounds bizarrely healed, except for one spanning across his neck that later turned into a grisly scar. due to capacity issues, he was discharged and life went back to normal, almost.

in the weeks since his attack he noticed certain changes in his body. namely that those aversions he'd had since childhood were suddenly much, much worse. for a while it felt like the world was on fire around him with how intense everything felt. he developed coping skills, but they could only do so much. unfortunately there was no coping for what was to come.

the following full moon he was awoken in the middle of the night with an agonizing headache and full body pain that caused him to black out. he was shocked to open his eyes the next morning and find himself in the middle of the woods several miles outside of the city. when he managed to get home to his apartment he found that it had been trashed as if someone had broken in, but as he examined the wreckage, it seemed more like something had broken in. there were claw marks on the hardwood floors and the drapes had been torn to shreds. he'd heard rumors about the nightbeasts or 'werewolves' that had allegedly been spotted in the midwest area, but he didn't want to believe it. he turned to the local library for answers, digging up any information he could on the subject, only to realize little by little that it was in fact his new reality.

while he was distraught over the realization, it oddly provided comfort over the subject of his homosexuality. it now dawned on him that it wasn't being gay that made him a monster, but being a werewolf that did.

he slowly learned how to minimize damage as a result of his monthly transformations, but he constantly worried that he was on borrowed time before something went wrong and he was exposed. he felt as though it would be better for him to get out of chicago and go east, everything he'd learned about new york city made it seem like a good place for a new start. it was supposedly more accepting of those with stranger nocturnal habits, including both any lycanthropic activity as well as any alternative orientations of the romantic or sexual variety.

the excuse he came up with to give to his family was that he wanted to venture out on his own and try and 'pull himself up by his bootstraps' since he had known his father would appreciate that being a man who valued hard work. so he made the move to nyc with his family's approval and arrived here seven years ago. after bouncing around from job to job, many of which he found himself working for the seedier underside of the city's residents as they valued his discretion. he ended up essentially stumbling into his position at the fox hole by accident but he's been happy for the solid employment in a place that's fairly understanding. however accepting the people he sees on the daily may be, he still tends to keep the matter of his membership of certain two communities more to himself, if not a secret entirely. maybe someday he'll feel ready to be a little more open about himself, but time will tell.
