evan erik harkness — you have always worn your flaws upon your sleeve, and i have always buried them deep beneath the ground!

— born in seattle sometime after 3 am on october 31st, to martha and erik harkness. that kinda started out the whole life of bad luck and death i guess
— it sucks when you're an accident, but when your parents don't deny or really pay attention to you is when things start to suck. evan's childhood was a mixture of babysitters, unfamiliar faces, and waking up in the middle of the night realizing he'd have to soothe himself to sleep. evan slowly became less dependent on others as time went on, his rejected cries for attention slowly turned inside out; evan was the one telling people to go away now.
— oddly enough - the one real connection to his (father) was music. his dad was on broadway, and evan had been blessed with his father's musical abilities. anything connected to his father was through singing, or dancing, or playing music. and, like some weird magic trick, evan can essentially pick up a instrument, and know how to play it properly in a matter of days. it's concerning at times, and he often forgets how many instruments he can actually play.
— he’s always been lonely. he can’t quite explain the feeling in his chest, but it’s there. i don't think he even understands the concept really, it's just something that hasn't left him.
— in case you can't tell, he's depressed as hell. he's been in and out of therapy/on and off medication for most of his life after ten. nobody realized what was happening to him until he was deeply rooted in some dark, dark thoughts and dark, dark habits.
— one of the most powerful bi/graysexuals to grace this era
— his main man (nigel, his therapist) is the one reason why he's still around, probably. is it sad that he feels more like a therapist is a better father than his real father? probably.
— evan was diagnosed with a myriad of things (and of course, misdiagnosed with things because modern medicine sucks), namely clinical depression, some kind of anxiety disorder, insomnia, and sometime around nineteen, borderline personality disorder.
— a deeply introverted person (regardless of the things piling on him that remind him that he doesn't fit in the world like he'd like), evan comes off as awkward, or uncomfortable. he takes a while to warm up or relax, he finds it immensely frustrating to not really get social interactions.
— music is his real escape, of course. he's been gifted from the start and given the full package: brains and talent. but he picks up on things so much better with music, he often correlates notes with important things he needed to do in some kind of weird mnemonic device.
— personality wise, evan is quiet. he's thoughtful, drawn back. he almost seems to be shutting himself away from others, but other times he's incredibly social, depends on his mood and who he's with. he's impulsive, doing things that even he doesn't particularly want to do (but somehow manages to do them anyways).
— he doesn't really trust bright, happy people. not unless he's known them for a while. evan's spent his fair share in pysch wards and residentials (for a number of reasons involving breakdowns or impulsive decisions), and the bright nurses are always the ones who make your life hell.
— he has lexical-gustatory synesthesia, where written/spoken words have tastes or smells. it's really weird, and he never really brings it up to other people unless he needs to.
— anxiety attacks and him are. odd. most of the time, the only big symptom he gets are the shakes. he has a tattoo on his wrist he's got as a coping mechanism, tracing his fingers around the tattoos on his arms are calming to him.
— hates it when people touch his arms, as he feels it's very intrusive to him. his arms are his biggest personal bubble in a very very big personal bubble.
— has imaginary "friends" that are rarely friends. overactive imagination = evil things lurking in the dark. probably why he doesn't sleep a lot, also probably why he sleeps better when someone's in the room with him. he never had that luxury as a little kid.
— i'm honestly not saying a lot because i'm getting a personal thread for him, but he's kinda my pride and joy, my baby boy

stanford elliot rivers — in the darkest corner of the house, i found a body there. cold and stiff, spine in a twist..

— one of the strangest men you'll come into contact with in your life. stanford is philosophical and eccentric, a genius and a five year old all at the same time. but we love him, we really do.
— frickin loVEEEES pie. and coffee. give him both and you'll make him a very happy man
— he's kinda that Cool Uncle kind of guy. he's very laid back but interesting, (he also is a uncle) he has a lot of weird, random stories to tell you.
— he has a creative mind. he's always thinking of things, he's lost in his own thoughts at times. he's deeply introverted, but his oddness tends to shine through despite being generally quiet.
— he lives in crows point, and is currently studying the petroglyph that are carved all over the mountains (and sometimes trees) in crows point. his field of study is varied from place to place, but studying ancient civilizations in crows point seems to be his current interest. he's written a few books on what he's learned from other obscure petroglyphs - he teaches on occasion. but as of now, he's occupied.
— he's got a sweet personality though, he does have the best things at heart. he's one of those old souls that don't mean to hurt a fly, and most of his reactions and responses to things are genuine and caring. he's a really good person, it just takes a bit to get past his quiet nature and odd love of a nice cherry pie.

nadir rachel roth — if i were senseless, i'd prefer it!
 
— nadir roth’s childhood was never an easy one. for one, she was born to a single mother in one of the most crime-filled cities in the area. never a good start. two, she never really fit in with the other kids in kindergarten (as in, nadir’s entire persona was just a little too much for any other five year old), three, she started third grade by being kidnapped by alter dimension monks, told to suppress her feelings and deny any kind of magical abilities she might possess, and the final kicker- four: her absentee father was a world-enslaving, family-slaughtering, self-obsessed, all-powerful demon with a knack for cool ties. and oh yeah, she might become like him and succumb to the inner demon inside her if she felt any powerful emotions.
— as you can guess, her teenage years were miserable. having to deal with a rushing force of emotions that needed to be controlled at all times was tough.
— tw: drug use she used to be addicted to suppressants for that very reason; nadir would use anything she could to keep herself under control, and that included every anti-anxiety medication, any depressant or sedative she could get her hands on.
— that didn’t work, in fact it just caused even more problems in the long run. it hid the fact that nadir (on top of all of that mess) genuinely was dealing with some very real, very serious depression issues that she didn’t realize existed until she was a a year or so clean of anything suppressing her emotions.
— nadir decided to go a different route for dealing with her powers one day, she decided to face them head on. like some kind of weird therapy for her, letting her experiment and ease into her powers seemed to help her, it was some kind of vent for all the bad things.
— on a lighter note she’s such a punk biker chick. so angsty, so much leather. so much black eyeshadow
— nadir’s name literally either means “the lowest point” or “dearly loved” and man does she hate that irony
— i don’t think she’s forgiven her mom from mcdoing satan yet
— she’s very serious and takes no nonsense, therefore she’s the mom friend
— wants to do so much good in the world. she feels guilt for her father, knowing all the pain he's caused - so she wants to balance it, to use that power for the betterment of people. she's more powerful than him in her eyes, because she doesn't use her power for her own gain, she does it for people.

persephone — you are tired, you are hurt!

— persephone is old enough not to have a last name - and just barely integrated enough into society to really have adopted one. her name seems to just fit - being one simple word, named after the greek goddess who survived in a difficult struggle. perse seems to be a nickname - though she doesn't really have friends anymore.
— persephone was born sometime in what's now called armenia in 980 ad - she managed to find her way to greece when she was 14. when she was 20, she made a trip to delphi that literally changed her life - turns out persephone was "chosen by the gods" (or whatever the hell that parasite was) to become the next oracle of delphi. yeah, she didn't believe it either. she was informed she'd never age or die until the next oracle appeared for her to pass the torch, and she booked it, believing the woman who told her was lying.
— of course, when persephone didn't age at all, she realized there was something wrong. when she started prophesying, that was another warning sign. it hit her suddenly that this wasn't a lie, and now this was her new life.
— nobody believed her prophecies, of course. it was maddening, to never die and constantly age - to watch humanity grow and leave her in the dust. she was trapped in a cave for about 200 years, and that changed her deeply, she managed to get out just before world war one began. her prophecies kept getting darker and darker, and persephone was quickly residing to a life of despair.
— she had snakes visit her often. oracles and snakes seem to get along well, but persephone can't stand them now that she's no longer oracle. they scare her, they remind her of the things she's seen.
— she's no longer oracle, having passed the metaphorical torch to jody. she admittedly did it in a sloppy, quick way, in a desperate attempt to drop him with it and then spend the rest of her life normally. but unfortunately, there was enough empathy left in her to look for him again, trying to teach him ways to handle the responsibilities of oracle.
— she's 25 now, and aging is great. she enjoys it a lot - she doesn't enjoy eating food, it's so weird after spending years of never needing it.
— she's bitter and salty and very much hurt, but who wouldn't be? she's callous, but she does have some empathy for others - her softness comes out more around jody (just because she's gotta be kind around the poor delicate thing, he reminds her of a little baby deer or something).

jody cooper griffin — 'cause it's easier to bury my head in the sand sometimes!

╾  someone get this man a haircut
╾  the epitome of the "i've done nothing wrong ever in my life" meme, jody has just. done nothing wrong, he's a good man what can we say
╾ jody has been twenty-two for a very long time. he made the mistake of visiting delphi about five years ago, turns out jody was chosen to be the next oracle since like, birth. he can't age or die until the next oracle shows itself to him.
╾ his predecessor kinda ditched him, and is now kinda trying to make it up but it's kinda weird and honestly?? jody's scared of her
╾ snakes like to follow him around. like, snakes everywhere. hasn't figured out if he can talk to them yet, but like he wakes up with them crawling all over his body and it's FREAKY
╾ being an oracle is shockingly very inconvenient because one moment you're asking for the salt, the next thing you're spouting off a prophecy about the end of days :/// (it's literally like a seizure and it's inconvenient)
╾ sleeps with at least twelve teddy bears (named them, gets upset that they might get upset if he leaves them on the ground or gets rid of them. he's pack bonded with them now, he's been accepted as one of their own.
╾ he's like, , 50% sure he saw a ghost yesterday (might be true?? might not be true?? persephone hasn't told him if ghosts are part of the oracle deal)
╾ him: listening to his humidifier which doubles as his "vapors" for oracling (vape god)
╾ forgot his own name twice and cried about it
╾ that one cousin that will talk to you about conspiracies at the dinner table (definitely believes all the conspiracy theories despite the fact that sometimes a prophecy will have something in it that indicates it's wrong (jody rarely listens to his prophecies))
╾ most of his oracleness gets put into song lyrics. if he spouts off something he likes, it ends up in music. a way of sharing the message, if you will

sarai imogen winters — if i were in their skin, i'd treasure every instant out there!

— sarai - though a rather interesting person in general - is not what she seems. underneath the quiet, subdued exterior, a secret lies beneath: she's not from this earth, in fact, she's not even close. she originates from the triangulum galaxy; sarai is a real, in-the-flesh alien.
— sarai had no intention of staying on earth, she was a gifted pilot sent as a rescue mission to save a pair of her kind that crashlanded on earth. unfortunately, miscalculations involving the earth's condition caused her to crash as well. that was about five years ago, and the culture shock of dealing with human life is still foreign to her. thankfully, she has a friend.
— she made it into huston, and thankfully ran into another alien: daniel summers, the son of the pair she was trying to rescue. thanks to him, she was able to learn how to blend into humans, and she taught him a little bit more about her home. the two are pretty close, even though they try to avoid hanging out together in public.
— sarai looks/acts like someone in her mid/late 20s, but she's actually around 53. alien aging is great, right?
— one of the worst parts of dealing with earth is the air. sarai (despite having an extra set of lungs) has a problem: the air is slowly killing her. she's unable to function to the best of her abilities because of this. slowly, sarai is beginning to stop working, and she needs to get off this planet asap.
— sarai is a quiet, introverted woman. she has a strong work ethic, she knows how to work well with others and she fights for the best outcome for the group. as a pilot, sarai knows how to communicate effectively and work quickly on the go. she's also a fantastic mechanic... if your car just so happens to have been created in her galaxy.
— humans don't interest her like they do to daniel. she's still deeply rooted in her world; apathy is her root emotion. she certainly cares, she just doesn't express it in the traditional human sense.
— she does like star wars though. something about those ships just makes her happy.
