	isolde (lilith, rosalie, there's a lot of names) WITCH, DEMON, ACTUAL AWFUL PERSON
✕ world info	A Scottish witch born sometime in the late 16th century, she began dabbling in various folk magics with other women in her village around her twenties and later went into darker magics later out of a great need. (She refuses to tell what exactly.) She, along with other women of her village were tried and killed for their involvement in witchcraft. She spent at least a hundred years in hell before she got the opportunity to leave as deal-maker. Eventually, she left Scotland for the US and has been staying there since in various forms and names. Her relationship with Hell is rather in a bad shape right now, as she refuses to make deals based in the various covens and communities she sets herself in. (As well as a few other things that can't be forgiven. Stealing beasts for her own personal use, killing the various higher ranking demons they send after her, etc...) Despite this, her relationship with humans (and humanity) is regulated as either a thing that keeps her amused or a horrible race that deserves every indignity done to them. She has killed and disrupted many human lives and will mostly continue doing it.
✕ looking for	Fellow demons that might got some beef with her or the rare one that doesn't think she's utter shit. Witches and other magic practitioners curious about her, after all she does hang around magical communities a lot. ~~Victims~~, erm lovers. The rare human that isn't a toy or a thing to be ruined. It happens sometimes! You know that saying, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"? Gimmie demon hunters that are perhaps willing to work with a rebel that just wanna be left alone.

	NONA1 SILVERGAZE ANDROID, FAERIE, CURIOUS BEING
✕ world info	It's a long story...
✕ looking for	Are you a fellow fae? Are you willing to teach her ways about her people or shun her as something unnatural? Are you human? Do you wish to know things about fae tech? The Nation? friends plz or enemies, I'm down for a lotta stuff.

	August Marten recovering addict, soft forest bro, seer of spooky stuff
✕ world info	In a nutshell...
✕ looking for	Fellow seers of strange! Maybe a support group? Or you can doubt. All matter of supernatural creatures, August would love to talk to you. Or run from you. XD Need wooden things fixed, call Auggie. I am not picky my dude.

I have a semi-retired witch who probably needs help around her farm. Will trade jars of (shhh!magical) honey for fixing a broken porch-swing?

	gwen wynne-york the modern nymph
✕ world info	The descendant of a bad decision made between a mentally unwell 19th century socialite and an ancient fae creature with obsessive tendencies, Gwen Wynne-York is a spoiled, mouthy and profoundly sad trainwreck with superpowers she doesn't fully understand and an "artistic temperament". She likes hedonism, research projects, red wine and not telling her father their family secrets. GO HERE for more information.
✕ looking for	happy to AU her into other worlds or vague handwave compatibility, I enjoy writing ships and gen friendships and relationships of varying degrees of tolerating her bullshit. Supernatural adventures or general bad decisions.

funnily enough I was going to just zip you a new pm but this works also for me to just say!

I love our one and a half threads and counting and I'm having a blast with Gwen, thank you for putting up with my guy and more. I love their jive, never stop being good, have a great summer xoxo

	Esther Moreau Contract Killer, Musician, Anxious Mess
✕ world info	Esther's exceedingly good at two things; killing, and playing the violin. Making friends? Dealing with emotional issues and past trauma? Not so much. She does make a cracking cup of tea though. .
✕ looking for	Friends and gen/platonic CR Rivals! Colleagues! Found Family! Negative CR and angst is just as welcome as fluff and what not Down for shipping but it would be the definition of slow burn

	Nyx Faerie, Princess, Hunter
✕ world info	The youngest of four siblings, growing up in the royal palace of Seelie could be lonely. Her parents tended to focus on her older brother and sister, grooming both for one of them to take the throne. It left Nyx to keep herself entertained, which included her older brother teaching her how to hunt and traveling to the human world as she pleased. She's not entirely sure what she wants out of life, even though she's lived long enough that she probably should. Little more info here.
✕ looking for	Fellow Fae, in her realm or new realms Other Supernaturals to meet and interact with Friends, Enemies, and Gen CR Cousins/Family that might be related to her Romance/Shipping lines

	BENEDICT DEARBORN demons hate him, people tolerate him.
✕ WORLD INFO	it's a world not unlike yours or mine, but perhaps there are a little more instances of 'demonic' entities attempting to corrupt and degrade those of us who walk the material plane, be it for fun or for necessity. Ben does not work for the church, though he did stride close to priesthood, before realizing that his desires did not lie in religion or scripture, but in helping anyone who would fall victim to the very thing his father had learned to dispel, the very thing that eventually took Ben's father, and his mother, and nearly Ben himself. Ben would devote his life not to one belief, but to what was tangible to him — demons and angels, and with his uncle, Father Tobias, Ben would learn to face them, any of them, no matter their origin or handling. while not a priest, he primarily assists Tobias in exorcisms and general banishings of demons and malevolent spirits, but...not all the time does the diocese approve of the measure. that's when Ben gets called in solo. mum's the word. when he isn't banishing these awful creatures out of your grandma or your basement, Ben is trying to use his doctorate in religious studies for good, or at least putting people into some solid naps. it's okay — he keeps mostly to himself, prickly and somewhat neurotic as he is at worst, nerdy and protective at best. if that's your thing. but please, don't call him an exorcist; he rather prefers 'demonologist.' also, his guardian angel has been his friend since he was a child. that's normal, right?
✕ looking for	Bring me your demons, your monsters, your evils and your neutrals; I would love to put Ben in a scenario where he has to work with the very things he loves to lay the ban-hammer on also you occult-handling magic types; Ben's weird modern (religious?) fantasy world is big enough for all of us would love hurt/comfort scenarios, action threads, road trip tropes (he travels all around the world for his studies), spooky plots, just for starters open to characters of similar age, younger, or older throw your canon muses at him to he ain't scared gen, slow burn, will they won't they, awkward things, prickly cr all welcome if you survived this long, kick back and enjoy his pinterest board because yes this is that kind of operation we have going on here there is more info on his journal, open post for writing style samples, please come in, hang up your coat, make yourself comfortable

	Juri Only half a cat
✕ world info	Half-breed cat person with a sunny personality, and can fit into different settings as desired, though some sort of sci-fi or fantasy are more baseline. Sometimes ends up with things he shouldn't have, less because he wants them or wants to use them and more out of a concern about how others could use them. A busker fond of travelling and tends to go where there might be interesting music to learn. More info over here! and this for further plot elaboration but it's very optional.
✕ looking for	Other cat people! Shipping (m/m) gen too, for shenanigans or adventure heist-type/adventure plots, perhaps infiltrating a high-society event, hanging out, lots of things (not fond of horror, though). Class differences, clashing personalities, hades and persephone-style circumstances are other good things.

	Cassandra Allerdyce/Firebreath A girl with a gift and secrets to keep
✕ world info	X-Men OC. Cassandra was born to a wealthy San Francisco family, the youngest of four children. She first discovered her power at the age of 6 when she accidentally lit the curtains on fire. Years later Cassandra adopted the name Firebreath and decided to embrace her powers, after discovering other youngsters with their own gifts. These acquaintances also lead her to professor Charles Xavier's school for the gifted. There she met many of her closest friends and learned to control her powers in a whole new way. But there are some things still bubbling beneath the surface.
✕ looking for	Fellow X-Men muses for xmu stuff. All kinds of interactions with all kinds of muses. Friendship, romantic or even rivalry.

	ambrose sinclair veni vidi amavi
✕ world info	A theatre actor with aspirations for the opera turned in the mid 19th century, Ambrose wasn't really sure what he was signing up for, but it turned out what he signed up for was 'vampire.' What he thought it promised was eternal life and love with his sire, but from moment one of opening his corpse eyes, he found the situation he had been presented was not indicative to reality. He wasn't the only love, he wasn't simply immortal — he'd been changed, he'd given up his life to take the lives of others. Fate was swift in her intervention, and an enemy his sire's emerged to take their (very much deserved) revenge. Ambrose and the rest of the fledglings were buried alive, trapped and abandoned, to isolate the sire. No one returned for them, not for nearly 200 years. Out of consciousness, Ambrose was exhumed and mistaken for remains, though something sparked an awakening, enough consciousness to react and escape — a prick of blood, perhaps, is all it took to stir his mummifying body. Far from a beautiful prince's kiss, or something equally pleasant. He is a vampire out of time, stumbling through the 21st century bemused and befuddled, trying to make sense of everything around him — culture, people, himself, what had happened. Some of these things he didn't care to try to remember, but he came to discover that he, and vampires, are not the only godlike beings walking the earth. Often played a couple of years after reemerging, established at a theatre in New York staffed mostly with other metahumans, pseudo-monsters like himself, building a craft to engage with the world and connect that mutual humanesque experience of life and its many mysteries. Ambrose both delights and despairs, for every beautiful new understanding of this modern life, he struggles more with the bonds of dark instinct that flirts with the line of desire. His charge is to exist while trying to strike the right balance between his morals, his beliefs, and himself.
✕ looking for	gen or ship (m/m) wrenching existentialism angst and h/c, primarily Ambrose slipping his grasp on his vampiric urges/hunger corruption arcs...... consensual feeding to build trust and feelings just, melodramatic stuff. also AUs. yes. alternatively not sad stuff!! shockingly! cute and pleasant experiences, teaching Ambrose about modern things, or him sharing loves and interests of his own Ambrose siring someone so that I may cry (to save their life, conflicted love, to name a few) non-humans, supernatural characters, monsters, etc mortal friends! him mother-henning your character bc he is such a mom friend at heart other musicians/actors! shenanigans. interrupt his dress rehearsal with an emergency. it's happened before (why does this keep happening to him??)

	abel beaumont Just a man and his cat.
✕ world info	Built like a tank and usually seen with a scowl, Abel's well suited to his job as a club bouncer, but generally isn't someone most people are keen to start up conversation with. However, beneath the gruff and seemingly inapproachable exterior is possibly the largest ball of social awkwardness you're likely to find this side of the Thames. Abel is a man of very few words, and who tends to prefer the company of his cat Francois, and his collection of houseplants, if only because people he doesn't know make him ridiculously nervous. He is a good dude though, or at least he tries to be.
✕ looking for	Pretty much any positive CR Friends, ridiculously cheery people, whoever Honestly I'm easy to please Maybe shipping if there are any 40+ ladies out there who'd be down to clown with a giant ace frown-on-legs lmao

	KADIN BRIMMER A Three in one demon with a soul.
✕ world info	Kadin was a mistake. Demons in his universe typically have a fragment of a soul from the damned. That fragment gives them life but also makes them easy to control by a single compelling force. Kadin was born via the merging of three demons. Though unaware, he retains the powers of all three parents. This makes him extremely powerful... if he knew about it. As it stands, Kadin just thinks he's an incubus with some fire related abilities and nothing else.
✕ looking for	Action adventure! Chances for Kadin to figure out what he is. World-building fun! Smut and/or shipping. (Kadin's personal standards being "are you a consenting adult")

	Cain Scarlett Music, Magic, and a Hot Mess
✕ world info	A British mage from an old and pureblood family. Runs away from home and takes on a completely new identity. Musician is his day job and neurotic mess is his part time (JK, he's always a mess). Cain is a natural psychic with the ability to easily hear the thoughts of others and can pick up emotions through taste. He's brimming with magic, so he makes for a strong mage. While he doesn't care much for people to know his innate magic abilities, he's very determined to take his psychic abilities to the grave with nary another soul to know of it. He's a charmer type on the outside and a hopeless romantic in the inside and has a very complicated relationship with how he views people. I have all his info here
✕ looking for	Fuck, what do I want? I didn't think this far ahead to be honest. Creative types or people who love to dance tbh. RPing out dancing is a pain BUT I LOVE IT. Probably patient people who are willing to wait for him to open up. I LOVE ME THAT SLOWBURN ANYTHING and he is a slowburn kind of guy for the deep stuff. Digging up his awful past tm. Sad and angsty with happy endings are my weakness. I would just love more in general. Expand his world.

	Theodore Bellerose Seeker of Knowledge and Occult
✕ world info	A very curious man who always has a question on the tip of his tongue. Theodore is fascinated by literally everything and seeks to only ever to expand his knowledge in anyway possible. An Academic type. Reckless and has 0 self preservation at times. A dangerous mix. Suffers from full colorblindness and has synesthesia in which voices/sounds have flavor to them for him. Has a few hang ups that include appreciating even numbers and disliking odd numbers and needing to constantly arrange and rearrange things while keeping them clean. Had a near death experience. We're talking probably might have been dead for a moment and he sure had most of himself going through that door to the afterlife. Ever since then, he's been able to see ghost and spirits and such. Has a morbid fascination with death and anything pertaining to it. He likes to scale bad experiences and pain to him nearly dying. It really can't get worse than that other than actually dying, right? He has a ghost friend named Annabelle, whom talked to him while he was dying. Now she's like his best friend. Like Casper. That's fine, right?
✕ looking for	Looking for anything with him at the moment. He's quite new. Gen or M/M for shipping! Other academic types or ghosts or demons. He isn't picky. He'll make friendly with just about everyone. Someone who will go on reckless and dumb adventures that may include going to haunted or abandoned locations and the likes. It'll be fun, right?

	Isabella "Bella" O'Rourke ~~lawyer~~ ~~moll~~ escort
✕ world info	tl;dr: noir call girl with a tragic past, a contract to a brothel that she's working off, and a thirst for vengeance. Isabella O'Rourke used to be a rising star in Iron City's district attorney's office: bright, determined, and fierce in the pursuit of justice. She was going to clean the scum off this city -- shine bright lights into the corners where corruption festered and help those that the city had abandoned. You can't go poking around in dark corners and expect the dark not to poke back. When one of Iron City's gangsters tried to lean on Isabella and warn her away from his operations, Isabella threatened to break his hands before he could break hers -- and he liked her. They started up a secret affair. It wasn't very ethical. It wasn't very smart. And it wasn't secret for long. And when Isabella got a little too close to exposing and prosecuting the mayor for his dirty dealings, the mayor had just the leverage he needed to destroy her life. Her career: in shambles. Her safety: doubtful. Her lover, and any protection he could have offered: dead. So Isabella disappeared into the underbelly of the city she'd tried so hard to clean up. Desperate for a safe place from the mayor's thugs, she ended up taking shelter at the Garden Bower, a brothel with a strict code of neutrality. No matter who you are, or what your tastes are, you're welcome at the Bower, as long as you leave your business and your weapons at the door. The Bower's madam (no love lost between her and the mayor, not the way he tries to tell her how to run her business) agreed to keep Isabella safe, though of course Isabella -- how about just Bella? -- would work to pay off her expenses. And Bella agreed. At least for the time being, she doesn't mind spending time on her back if it means getting back on her feet. And once she's back, once she's ready, she'll be coming for the mayor.
✕ looking for	ngl Bella's at least 75% ~~an anguissette~~ a character created for kink purposes, so shipping and smut! M/F, F/F, all are welcome. Specifically, if you're looking for a subby masochist, a beautiful but emotionally closed off date for the evening, a good girl gone bad or someone to mold into the perfect personal companion, hello, let's talk~ The other 25% is wanting to play around with a noir setting and tropes. EG: Bella's a sex worker with a heart of gold, but she's en route to being a femme fatale, and anyone who can further that goal is A++. Teach her to shoot and fight and connive! Share world-weary monologues about humanity's selfishness over whiskey and cigarettes! Wear really great wide-brimmed hats! Also, anyone from a similarly noirish setting or who wants to play around in that. I usually think of her world as being kind of in the Sin City vein, with a little more of the vintage 1930s/'40s noir aesthetic, but she can totally exist in a modern setting, sci-fi/cyberpunk settings, urban fantasy type stuff, whatever. Friends are for suckers let's be frenemies

	Fiona Geimhreadh Abandoned Fairy Princess
✕ world info	Long lost fairy changeling accidentally trapped in the human world, thus abandoned and left to fend for herself. Survived centuries and nowdays lives as collector of strange magic things, plants and occasionally kidnapper of infants. Runs a little shop of curiosities for magically inclined folk.
✕ looking for	Adventure Good natured Cr/friendships/General growth through interaction friends Anything interesting tbh

	Dantalion Shadowline Do I look like the type to do ritual sacrifice? Please. I have people for that.
✕ world info	Character Sheet Dantalion is a tiefling warlock, author, and cultist. In his world a majority of non-humans were enslaved for labor and through drawing the attention of his patron and making a pact he was able to escape. Since then he worked hard to completely recreate his identity, studying esoteric magic and necromancy and collecting information on ritual magic at the behest of his patron. Through its guidance and his own skill he eventually published several books of his own. This earned him a rather split reputation, as he was either seen as an eccentric innovator or an insane wannabe cult leader. Ironically his books also drew the attention of the cult that already existed devoted to his patron, who saw him as a beneficial direct conduit to their deity. While he had absolutely no interest in worship he was more than eager to use their connections to benefit himself and gather more information. He is ambitious and prefers to use his natural charisma to get himself out of sticky situations, having learned young to be a very good liar and manipulator. Despite being very paranoid of his past coming back to haunt him he can be very loyal if someone earns his respect.
✕ looking for	Magic-users, possibly anyone who might have read his writing Adventure/travelling Other D&D OCs welcome Anything really, hit me up with ideas!

	Lillian Rose Montanari A BRIEF TAGLINE
✕ world info	Lily is a living wax doll. Created and brought to live through love and witchcraft for a childless couple, she eventually joined a magical travelling circus. All of the magical circus tropes apply and the circus is loosely based on the Autumn People circus in Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes. A little spooky. A little gothic. Lily however, helps out by mending circus costumes and selling candy to children. She is oblivious to any sinister happenings that may or may not be committed by the ringmaster and some of the shadier folk of the circus. Generally she is a very sweet girl who just wants a real family and does her best.
✕ looking for	Circus folk or the sort of people who would visit circus folk Other magical folk New friends, Found family Getting to know all of the people

	Analise Wilson Hedge Witch. Potion Maker. Herbalist. Bee Keeper
✕ world info	Analise is a sunny, friendly but dangerous when angered hedge-witch. Semi-retired and living in the country side, she really just wants to live a quiet life after having spent a lifetime dabbling in the darker side of witchcraft but old 'acquaintances' keep coming around now and then looking for herbs and potions she was once famous for.
✕ looking for	New Friends New Not-so-much friends interesting sorts to make interesting CR with Something to pull her out of her retirement

	Derek Lockwood A literal Bi disaster who just so happens to be a SHIELD medic
✕ world info	Derek is a medic, whether if its in his OU or not, though the latter has him working in the city's underground doing illegal medical work. He also dabbles in thieving if you pay enough for the job, putting his life on the line doesn't come cheap, mind you. Coming from a home with drunk parents and a rougher childhood than he'd ever open up to, he was adopted by a much kinder soul of a clinic owner. Highkey enjoys head pets as much as sex and honestly, its one of the quickest ways to his heart. He's not afraid to fuck someone over if they've hurt anyone who needs defending or was somehow wronged. More info can be found here.
✕ looking for	More angst/ fluff/ friendships/ literally like all the things More MCU cast shenanigans; His OU is the MCU and at this point i'm playing Avengers bingo All the AUs ever; Werewolves/vampires/soulmates/ you name it, i'm probably game for it I literally don't know what else I want cause I just want to do everything and anything skjdfg

	holly genovese Vampire, mafia princess, skating extraordinaire
✕ world info	Born into one of the mot powerful vampire mafia families in New York, Holly's always wanted for nothing; until her parents and siblings were horrifically ripped away from her on the order of one of her father's rivals. Holly only survived because her eldest brother hid her away before blood started to spill, but that was the last time she'd shy away from the uglier side of what her parents had built. Taking her equally bloody revenge on the family responsible, she came home to a crown she's still working out how to wear, and one much heavier than she was expecting. Survivor's guilt mixed with grief and rage she has limited outlets for makes a potent cocktail, but it's not all doom and gloom. On the surface, Holly's a loud, energetic preteen with a passion for roller derby, video games and movies. But she's certainly not entirely the kid she used to be, and since developing a taste for killing, that's not likely to change.
✕ looking for	Guardian-types are always welcome and needed; other vampires are A+, but I'm not picky. Bring me your supernatural beings Vampire hunters and the like are always fun too, whether it's for unlikely alliances or something more dramatic Alternatively to the first point, guardian/mentor types who're more likely to help guide her down the path of villainy. She has a lot of potential to go dark side, as it were. She was brought up being taught that vampires are the superior species to humans, so someone teaching her how to hunt would be ace. Idk man I'm easy, hit me with suggestions!

	Jonathan Pavidis-Villacorta A hyena filled with love and bad decisions
✕ world info	Jonathan is a contracted bodyguard by trade with modeling for his family as a second income/hobby. He comes from a family of born were-hyenas and due to the nature of one side of his family's employer, he also had familiar ties to an organization by the name of SCORPIO. They employ supernaturals for a variety of services that range from bodyguards to assassins and everything you can think of in between. He suffered a recent injury by the hands of another hired bodyguard that left him with claw mark scars across his throat and the loss of his voice. Due to this, he speaks via text or the memo pad on his phone as he hasn't gotten around to learning ASL. He adores his job regardless of this little incident though. He likes to be ridiculous and fun, so don't dare him not to do something because he definitely will do the thing and make a fool out of himself just to make someone laugh. More info can be found here.
✕ looking for	Supernatural shenanigans with other supernaturals Boss type or protector scenarios due to his bodyguard job Literally anything and everything... my boy needs friends / frenemies / lovers / straight up enemies, okay? Fluff / Angst / AUs / etc, i'm down for anything.

	EVELLETHINE "LETTIE" DAWNSINGER If music be the food of love, play on, GIVE ME EXCESS OF IT
✕ world info	Lettie is a World of Warcraft OC, which is basically a fantasy setting complete with the traditional fantasy worlds - humans, orcs, trolls, elves, etc. She's a blood elf, a race that dealt with a terrible genocide, magic addiction, and then their leader going insane. WoW elves don't stray far from the stereotypical concept of elves - long-lived, pretty, arrogant and vain, somewhat insular, etc. Lettie, however, loves people of all different races. (Even those green orcs and bloodthirsty trolls.) She's a shitty mage but a great musician, with a rather irreverent attitude toward respectability, propriety, and those in power. Here is more information.
✕ looking for	Other WoW characters (canon or OCs) for adventures in Azeroth that don't involve the dumb war D&D/fantasy OCs because they could connect over stuff. Let's talk world-building, happy to shift her into a new world. A dumb fluffy romance with kink involved Friends, she could use more of those. Or anything here, but also anything - open to everything.

	Dominic Cameron
✕ world info	Dominic is thoughtful and kind. He's extremely dedicated to his religion and on the surface appears to be the perfect Scientologist Sea Org member with the perfect Scientologist wife who is also a Sea Org member. more information
✕ looking for	anything and everything! Would love dealing with him leaving scientology and all that entails.

	Ferdi Müller
✕ world info	Ferdi was born in 1916 in Frankfurt, Germany. He grew up relatively well off for the most part. Most of his teen years were spent in Berlin where he was active in social groups at the time that were pro-lgbt lifestyles, frequently involved with lesbian bars that were popular at the time. His family was not well aware of his activities until his late teens when he was disowned. However, Ferdi had enough contacts and was able to make ends meet with regular odd jobs and activities connected to his activism. He had also not been very close to his family even before being disowned so it didn't have a large impact on him. Ferdi was an anti-nazi activist, raising the alarm prior to the Night of the Long Knives that the climate was changing for homosexuals in Germany. The scene had been one that flourished through much of the early 20th century but with the rise of the Nazi regime, also came the rise of violence towards anyone different. During this time, Ferdi was informed of the massacre by a brownshirt he knew and whom he later found murdered in his apartment. Once it became clear, there would be nothing but further escalations, Ferdi decides to turn to self-preservation and flee Germany with the assistance of his lover at the time. They were able to safely make it out of Germany and travel to Canada where they were taken in as refugees. Additional information that might be pertinent: Before WW2, the LGBT life in Germany was not completely underground. It was easy to find youth groups (source: I believe this was from the documentary Paragraph 175) and lesbian clubs (which, despite the name, included all variations of the spectrum). A specific quote from this page, I feel really summarizes the culture within Berlin -- which is where Ferdi lives: 'The years of the Weimar Republic witnessed a flowering of women's rights and of struggles for homosexual emancipation, as well as a bursting forth of a large lesbian and gay subculture quartered largely in Berlin.' Even though there was a substantial amount of openness within this subculture there were still opposing groups to the ones that Ferdi would have been involved with, who would attack those who frequented the establishments. So it was still dangerous even if it was not hidden. Ferdi moved to Berlin because of the blooming culture there of people who would accept him. He knew that clearly the fight was not over because people he knew were still being hurt. So he talked to people and started organizing those he met who were conscientious like him. He was able to locate, through talking and gaining trust of his fellows, other groups and join them in their work. Early on, people knew that Hitler would be a problem. The rhetoric that came out of those close to him was concerning for a long time and growing tensions, of course, turned many otherwise good people into being fearful of anyone 'other'. They communicated to each other in secret meetings and through letters. Personality: Ferdi is a rather outgoing, snarky and loud person. He is rather outspoken, which can quite often get him into trouble. He's intensely loyal. While he is a rather lively person, he doesn't have much belief or trust in humanity or the good of people -- especially as a collective. His outlook on others is very informed by his most recent experiences with not only discrimination but brutal murders and betrayals. He doesn't trust most and the motives of people intrigue him more than most anything else about them. It doesn't quite matter to him what they want as to why they want it. He'll go at great lengths to try and understand people to that end. Ferdi is most motivated by his conflicting instinct for self-preservation and his desire to make a difference. In the end, he chooses to run away to save his own life but this is also at the point that he feels that he has nothing left to offer that would be of any use. After all, what would his causes gain with his death and therefore his silence?
