age: 17
birthday: june 28

species/race: human, white
blood type: a
height: 5’4”
orientation: he's gay, helen
|
jaime is a good kid, but his parents are negligent of him because he has the dreaded gay. instead, they focus all of their attention on his little sister, jocelyn... who is the one that outed him to them. (albeit accidentally.) he has justifiably hard feelings about the incident, leading to the events of the story
he actually has a healthy relationship with jocelyn herself, and they are both very affectionate towards each other. he misses her, greatly regrets his deal with aaliyah, and will do whatever it takes to get her back
nathalie is his best friend, and he has long-standing feelings for timothy, but finds himself drawn to rasmus
what he doesn't know can and will hurt him

rasmus is jaime's love interest specifically because he wants to be. he is aaliyah's younger brother, and is half djinn like her. he is assisting jaime in his pursuit of aaliyah and jocelyn, but not for jaime's sake
that part's a secret, though

physical appearance: short, wavy, black hair; bangs cover his ears, often side-swept. thick eyebrows. triangle-shaped face. medium-dark complexion. thick, soft-angled, low arch eyebrows. dark blue, heavy-lidded, upturned eyes; looking in them closely, you'd swear he doesn't have pupils. high cheek bones. soft aquiline nose. thin downward-turned lips (often mistaken for a bored expression at best, a scowl at worst.) round ears with free lobes
aesthetic: 80s goth meets e-boy mori hipster. form-fitting turtlenecks (which may or may not have rips and shreds in them,) button-up blouses, subversive graphic tees that are actually literal in context (ex "i eat boys",) various sweaters, vests/waistcoats, leather jackets, trench coats, flowy shawls, ripped skinny jeans, dress slacks, worn-out combat boots, dress shoes. sleeves of his main top usually come out under the sleeves of his outerwear. typically tucks tops into bottoms. often wears chokers.a lot of his closet is comprised of vintage, thread-bare pieces - all the rips and tears are authentic damage from wearing them 20+ years. loves teeth and scorpion motifs. more often than not wears kohl around his eyes, and a multitude of rings on both hands. paints his nails black or another dark color, and his manicure's never chipped. always wears a necklace with a skeleton key to the doors in his house around his neck, and numerous piercings in both ears
favored colors to wear: black, shades of grey, navy and royal blue, deep crimson, silver
smells like: chamomile, leather, metal, old parchment, potpourri
personality: distant but intense. he's quiet and keeps to himself for the most part. one might take him as angry about something at all times, but really that's just his face. he is pensive, which often gets mistaken for rudeness. he does his best to be polite, although he may get more sterile when interacting with someone - or something - he doesn't care for. when he does care for something - or someone - he gets tunnel vision; the object of affection is the most pressing matter on his mind. if he likes it even a smidge, he needs it to be his, and his alone, effective right now immediately. he knows what he's capable of and takes confidence in that knowledge. he goes to great lengths to get what he wants, although his methoids aren't as cut-throat as his sister's. (why, they're even humane in comparison...)
flaws: gets too hungry too often, can stare too openly for too long if he's interested in something, lacks self-control
mannerism: taps bottom lip when thinking, turns head away and observes out of the corner of his eye rather than full-on, slips into finnish when he's talking to himself or exasperated, mixes archaic language with modern language and doesn't notice (or care) if people find it strange, every so often he forgets himself and his speech is in a finnish accent, cocks an eyebrow a lot
hobbies: painting, collecting portraits, gardening, pressing flowers, reading, people watching, jaime watching, long walks, smoking
fave animals: cats, swans
fave color: grey
fave drinks: chamomile tea, coffee
fave foods: fries, cigarettes
fave flower: black iris, delphinium
fave music genres: 90s alternative rock, classical, dark folk, dark wave, new age, new wave, post punk, witch house
fave musical artists: bauhaus, black ceiling, collective soul, dead can dance, delerium, echo & the bunnymen, hozier, incubus, kate bush, live, massive attack, moby, mozart, nirvana, poets of the fall (guilty pleasure), savage garden (the guiltiest pleasure), smashing pumpkins, strawberry switchblade, the smiths
note: his (and aaliyah's) is supposed to be jรคrvinen, but... y'know. aesthetic in the header lol. his name's pronounced rahz-moce YAR-vee-nin (no really, stress YAR lol. if you don't sound like a pirate you're pronouncing it wrong)

age: 16
birthday: october 13
astrological sign: libra
species/race: human, white
blood type: ab
height: 5’2”
orientation: boys are so cute! and girls are so pretty!
|
jocelyn is a sweet, albeit naive girl who hangs on aaliyah's every word. she doesn't understand who that light haired boy is, and why he calls her his sister, or why he's always crying whenever he comes around her... but she feels very sorry for him and hopes he gets the help he needs
she's been considering asking aaliyah if they can help the boy, but aaliyah has a tendency to distract her and put her mind on other, more pleasant, subjects

smells like: roses, cotton candy, honey, strawberries
personality: fair, kind, friendly, mature. she's the girl people go to with their problems seeking well-considered advice and a shoulder to cry on. she'll go through some mental gymnastics to come up with a solution to a problem where everyone can be satisfied. she can be naive, and make blunders, but she genuinely feels remorse for any time she's ever caused anyone problems, and would like to make amends. she avoids being a source of conflict to her own detriment

aahliyah jarvinen
 |
age: pretty old
birthday: may 3
astrological sign: taurus
species/race: djinn/human, syrian/white
blood type: o
height: 5’9”
orientation: she'll try anything at least once
|
aaliyah is a self-proclaimed bad bitch. she likes to pick on her baby brother thanks to an old feud involving pitchforks and obligatory torches. after noticing his lil' crushy-wushy on jaime, she decided she'd intervene and wreck everything, resulting in her taking jocelyn as a captive
(un?)fortunately, "stockholm syndrome" is not a term she is familiar with
|
|
|
|
physical appearance: waist-length, naturally wavy (often flat-ironed), black hair; no bangs, parted in the middle. thick eyebrows. triangle-shaped face. dark complexion. thick, hard angled, high arch eyebrows ("instagram brows") that make it look like she's glaring (it's on purpose.) purple, heavy-lidded, upturned eyes; they're so dark you can't really see her pupils... or so you hope. high cheek bones. soft aquiline nose. medium upward-turned lips (she looks incredibly smug and like she knows something you don't.) notably, you can often see a snaggletooth peeking out of her mouth - surely that's not a fang... round ears with free lobes
aesthetic: rihanna as an instagram baddie who not only survived it but collared her goth phase as a sex slave, but it's still apparent there was a struggle. form-fitting mini dresses, slitted jessica rabbit dresses, punked up prom dresses, bodysuits, lacey bralets, velvet tank tops, croptops, fur coats, leather jackets which may have phrases on them (ex. "calm like a bom"), tight stretchy mini skirts, skin tight jeans ripped in all the right places, ripped up jean shorts that show what you're looking for, leggings, stiletto pumps, thigh high boots, ankle cut boots, chunky sandals. loves gun, knife, big cat, and human anatomy motifs (such as realistic hearts, spines, etc.) loves glittery and metallic makeup; her eyeliner is always on point. accessorizes with velvet chokers, gold chains with pendants, big hoop earrings. files nails into talons; manicure is never chipped. styles haire in various ways, but most often has it up in a high ponytail, or half up space buns
favored colors to wear: purple, hot pink, black, burgundy, neon lavender, gold
smells like: caramel, coffee, chanel no 5
personality: a self proclaimed and proud heartless bitch. she is vicious. if she wants it, she gets it, by hook or by crook (but usually by crook, because honestly? hardly anyone is worthy of her.) she's got it, she knows it, she flaunts it. if you piss her off once she's your lifetime nemesis. but if you manage to stay on her good side, she'll be your most powerful and loyal ally. do not, under any circumstances, let her get bored (or worse - sick) of you. she's a smart cookie, too. she's the type that gets banned from a casino for winning too much but it can't ever be proved that she cheated. if it's not dangerous, expensive, or something important to someone else that she wants to take glee in destroying, she likely won't be interested
flaws: vain, a villain, too hot hot damn!
mannerism: stepford smiler, drums her nails on surfaces to threaten or if she's bored
hobbies: makeup, shopping, making others suffer, scoping out new victims
fave animals: big cats, especially panthers
fave color: purple

astrological sign: pisces

blood type: ab
height: 5’5”
orientation: world hard and cold. tiddy soft and warm

nathalie is the glue that holds the weirdo trio together. without her, those dumbasses jaime and timmy would still be in the closet (she sees you, timothy!) and grounded. meeting up at the arcade was her idea. she's the only friend jaime is allowed to have inside the house. she would take a bullet for her boys, and she knows they'd take one for her. she also babies jocelyn. she knows it's sad that joss outed jaime, but it wasn't on purpose. she didn't know any better, and it clearly eats her up inside. give the poor kid a break
...hey, speaking of. what happened to little jocelyn?
who the fuck is that guy that's been all over jaime lately, anyway? she sees him lurking on jaime's block for weeks, then all of a sudden they're a thing? he came calling around the time joss went missing? something's up
she might have to kick that dude's teeth in

orientation: um... uh... well... you see...

timmy is nathalie's best friend, and jaime's left-hand man
jaime's been so bummed lately over joss being gone... they were tight. it's so sad to think about something happening to her. she was a good kid, just dumb. she didn't mean to tattle about that time jaime and timmy made out on the couch...
oh, that? whatever. that was two dumb 13 year olds, it didn't mean anything... he's not allowed at jaime's house, but that's just because the guy's mom such a bitch lol. what's that lady on about anyway? it's not like they have feelings or anything. they're just friends... right?
and friends protect friends. friends help friends. friends worry about friends. and timothy is very much concerned for jaime, because that new dude gives off bad, bad vibes...

physical appearance:
aesthetic: nerd-chic pseudo skater jock.
favored colors to wear: muted shades of brown, green, grey, red
smells like:(sometimes) sweat, axe body spray, spice
personality: be gay do crime. fairly perceptive to cover his own ass, always on the lookout for people watching him - him, but not necessarily others except his own people. he has tunnel vision in this manner. he often gets mistaken for a nerdy type (which is true) but then people are surprised he knows how to play soccer and skate, and that he's on the team. he's worked at a grocery store since he was 13, and between that and the money he saved by stealing whatever he could, he was able to buy a car, so now he's thinking of quitting to be free in more ways than one. because he's never gotten caught he's self assured and can be sloppy. he's the one of the trio with the most independence. his home life is okay enough too, his family is just poor. overall, he's kinda sneaky, but his heart is in the right place
flaws: indecisive, lacks conviction, technically a criminal (but like, whatever man)
mannerism: eyes are constantly shifting around, he often has his hands in his pockets
hobbies: math and science stuff, playing soccer and frisbee, skating, shoplifting, going for rides along the coast, urban exploring, hanging out with jaime and 'lie

fave drinks: chocolate shakes? slushies? sprite?
fave foods: burgers and fries? chicken tenders? flamin hot cheetos? gas station hot dogs? whatever fits in his pocket?
