Screennames: Alliteration

First and foremost a disappointment to his father. Believer in the cause. Conforms to social expectations (both within the larger society and within the Argent tradition).
Screennames: Conjunctions and prepositions
Keywords: Things that are inherited (from their parents, by their children)

Aurelius:

A skeptic who reluctantly becomes a believer. Mercenary who's not letting this Masquerade keep her out.

Boring. Plain. Wants a normal, happy life, but knows that they're not good enough to earn it. Fairy tales are for pretty people.

Imaginative dreamer. Tells stories to get through the daily grind. Tolerant of a normal life but too controlling, ambitious, and interested in seeking novel places and experiences to stay in one place when given an alternative. Prone to being lost in the timestream, possessed by eldritch monstrosities, or hijacked by Doctors with a poor understanding of medical ethics.

A former ambassador between the strange and the mundane. Betrayal, followed by attempted murder. But she's something else now- better, stronger, as monstrous as they are- and she'll make them pay.

Protector and friend of the Hale family- sometimes part of it. A veterinarian, or otherwise an expert in healing and dogs. Surprisingly knowledgeable about whatever secrets the setting holds.

A history buff and mediocre athlete. Frequently gets his family killed. Marked by grief, full of misdirected rage, and not nearly as good a teacher as he could be.

God's gift. Here to serve.

Blind, which only made his senses stronger. Burned idealist, who wants to destroy the idealists he admires, whether they be lovers or students.

The acting head of the family. An outsider to their grand tradition, but enforces it with an iron fist. Prefers power to principles, and revenge to responsibility. Wants to live forever.

Argent- General; carries on spouse's tradition of saving people, hunting things.

McAlistair- CEO; profits off a system of servitude in order to get married

Theirin- Queen;

???-

Jackson: Big man on campus. In high school. Convinced that a rich, lawyer father and a fancy car make him important. Sore loser. Very likely to turn into something he regrets, especially something he can't control. Reptilian aesthetic.

Junior:

Early trauma results in someone who comes across as friendly, sociable, and kind, but underneath is simmering with resentment at the people who've hurt them, and has an obsessive streak besides. Likes to watch people and quote plays.
Often found near an Isaac.

Loves his abuser. Not a woobie. Will fuck you up if you make him think.

Kate: Younger child. Child of Aurelius and Gerard.

Smart. History of mental illness, notably paternal grandmother. Bad relationship with father, related to same. Divorced parents. Psychic, especially in ways connected to death- related to mental illness.

Cluster A: Lydias pretend to be dumber than they are. They remember their grandmothers well, and inherit their powers.
Cluster B: Lysanders pride themselves on their intelligence. Their grandmothers left them with painful memories, and their powers come from another source.

Likely to appear twice in a setting.

Addictive personality. Rich kid, asshole.

Henry: Gets up to some weird stuff in college- adultery, gaslighting, and ritualized murder. A loving father, until his spouse dies. Not a very good teacher, coach, or guardian.

Live as an animal for a good portion of their childhood.

Margo, Madge, Marge, Mukta, Megara, Marjory, Mike, Max, Marcus

Good-looking and silver-tongued, Mike loves women, hates commitment, and sees himself in the Oval Office someday down the line. Socially adept but misanthropic. Mostly interested in pursuing their own academic interests rather than interpersonal drama.

Mike is a man of action. He's always the first to volunteer, the first to make a suggestion. With a narcissistic streak, there's no denying that he likes the attention that comes with being the man who stands up and can get things done. Romantic, funny, and brave; dishonest, uncharitable, and incurious.

First generation Hale. Youngest, weakest, underestimated. Seeks power. Willing to kill family and friends to get it, willing to drink it in like a plant in sunlight otherwise.

Part of the noble tradition of maintaining the masquerade (and frequently, hunting the monsters that plague society, even if they're people), although they don't always know it. Want to change systems for the better and will follow those who know how to do so. Always questioning received wisdom, although a bit too ruthless when mercy might be more appropriate.

Cluster A: Perfect emissary, in the dark; guarded but generous.
Cluster B: Perfect scion, knows the family secret; hidebound but honorable.
Cluster 1C: Perfect hunter, knows the family secret; predatory but protective.
Cluster 2: Perfect commander.

Depressed nerd who can't quote cope with reality. Wants to be the Chosen One, and will end up finding his way into the story- even though destiny and fate aren't on his side.

Born in a body that doesn't work. Takes the first chance they can to change it. Sarcastic, bitter, a rake/seductress waiting to pounce.

Haleparent: Adventure archaeologist. Professor. Father of Derek, Cora, and Laura. Husband of Talia.

Stilesdad. Sheriff. Grew up with an abusive father.

First generation Hale. Leader of her community, and peacemaker. Surrounded by allies and enemies.
Declares Laura, her eldest, as her successor.

Allisonmom. Willing to go to great lengths to avenge real and imagined slights. At her most effective (but also most vulnerable) when protecting her people.

Phase 1: Moves from place to place, always finding a way to survive. Manipulative, flighty, cunning.
Phase 2: Protects her family so that the darkness of reality will not touch them. Trades cunning for pragmatism.
