plotting...

[do_what_thou_wilt]

Plots/connections/comments/complaints? Yes please! Auryn's new in town, so he's a blank slate, though he may know old families by name as he has immersed himself in esoteric witch trivia.

His background is here. Or, for the quick and wacky version:

• Auryn always wears a set of dog tags given to him by his father during an early visit to him in foster care. They're pretty obviously charmed but Auryn hasn't looked into it, and doesn't need to. They're almost a part of him at this point and they're the only thing he has of his father.
• He's quite a powerful magic user himself though he hasn't got the finesse he'd like to.
• Auryn would not describe himself as an optimist at all, but it takes a certain kind of optimism to believe in the power of revolution, of resistance, to change, and he does.
• He absolutely, without question, believes in civil disobedience, and he is not a pacifist about it.
• Auryn craves acceptance and love, but he doesn't really believe in it.
• He was in love once, in Montana. He wasn't willing to give up fighting for it though.
• He has a bit of a southern accent: like most things about his childhood he goes to pains to hide it but it kind of gently affects vowels. He speaks very carefully.
• He enjoys debate. He enjoys riling people up and getting them thinking. He would definitely use the term 'riling (someone) up'.
• Auryn gives a person one chance and he does so completely and ends it just as quickly. Doing something that hurts him specifically doesn't always negate that chance, but it's not always explicitly necessary, either.
• He nearly always carries a knife of some sort on his person.
• He's capable with his hands, without the use of magic: he picks up manual skills fast and isn't afraid of hard labor.
• He's been arrested quite a few times but has only a couple convictions, mostly on slap-on-the-wrist charges.

*picks debate point*

Lena has a lot of Thoughts, but is unsure about the weight of her ideas and opinions. They need to end up somewhere, somehow.

Totally need to do something with Auryn and Les. My little Les-poo is a total badass/powerful when it comes to magic, but his line of thinking on the civil disobedience is not on the same wave length. For one Les' family are the ones that crossover between 'species'. They gave humans help to fight against witches that prob think exactly like Auryn.

Very least they can have an awesome witch-y duel.

Davin is such a good, kind-hearted little witch completely naive to the full scope of his powers. Do what thou wilt indeed, Auryn.

He's mysterious and thusly Bonnie will be fascinated and try not to be all at once. Because these mysterious witchy types are nothing but trouble... kinda.

I'm not quite sure in what guise they'd interact, I can see the, having similar views on things. (Bonnie grew up surrounded by a lot of prejudice because her Mum was a single teen Mum in a small town, who had to work 3 jobs to keep them in a house with food. And that meant taking Bonnie with her to work sometimes). But at the same time, I can imagine they'd have things they didn't agree on.

Bonnie isn't a witch, but her step-Dad is and her little sisters are all half-witch. So she was surrounded by the culture for at least 6 years.

Um, if you're interested in plotting them of course~

Powerful witch who doesn't believe in sitting back in the wake of bigotry against witches and attempts to regulate them? If Auryn doesn't find Nerium first, she will be finding him.

And possibly discovering new and confusing parts of herself because he is the epitome of what she could find alluring.

I would love if their thread from Test Drive was game canon.

[jiyunnies]

I have no idea how Riley would even react to him he'd probably confuse her lmfao
