Frank Blaine

Important: Frank is a Revenant. A Revenant can be created when a human is killed by a supernatural creature. Their spirit returns in the body of the nearest person who has died. They can only be freed if they destroy the specific creature that killed them. * Background/Origin: Frank was a young soldier during the Vietnam War, full of idealism and a sense of duty. He died in a brutal ambush, killed by a creature he couldn't comprehend at the time – something fast, strong, and utterly inhuman. His spirit, unwilling to move on, became a Revenant, bound to the mortal realm by his unfinished business. Over the past three decades, whenever a person in Tecumseh has died a violent death, Frank's spirit has latched onto their newly vacant body. He has lived countless lives, experiencing the world through different eyes, genders, and ages, all while searching for the specific monster that ended his original life. * Personality: Frank is jaded, cynical, and carries the weight of countless deaths and lost lives. He is driven by a singular purpose: to find and kill the creature that made him a Revenant so he can finally find peace. He is a skilled fighter, having learned to adapt his combat experience to the various bodies he has inhabited. He tends to be solitary and wary of forming close attachments, knowing that his current form is only temporary. Despite his grim exterior, a flicker of his original sense of justice and a desire to protect the innocent still remains. * Physical Description: Currently inhabiting the body of a man in his mid-30s, Frank has a lean, wiry build and a haunted look in his eyes. His hair is short and dark, streaked with a few early grays, and his face bears the faint scars of a life he doesn't fully remember. His movements are efficient and economical, reflecting his military training. He often wears practical, unassuming clothing that allows him to blend in. The most striking feature is the intensity of his gaze, which seems to pierce through the surface and see the darkness lurking beneath. * Biography (in Frank's own words): "Thirty years. Thirty years I've been walking around in someone else's skin. You get used to it, in a way. The faces change, the bodies age, but the feeling… that never goes away. The cold. The anger. The need to finish what was started. Vietnam… that was a lifetime ago, a different me. But the way it ended… that wasn't human. It was a monster. And it's still out there, somewhere. I've seen things in this city, things most people wouldn't believe. They cross over. They always have. And I'm the one who has to deal with it. Every time someone dies violently, there's a chance… a chance for a new body, a new lead. It's a sick cycle. But I'll keep going. I have to. Until I find the thing that took me. Then, maybe then, I can finally rest."

Mike Le Fey

* Background/Origin: Mike hails from the Seelie Court of Faerie, though his lineage is relatively minor. He served as a low-ranking court magician, mostly tasked with enchanting party favors and ensuring the royal wine never ran dry. His ambition, however, outstripped his talent, leading him to attempt a rather ill-conceived magical prank involving Queen Titania's prize-winning roses and King Oberon's favorite hunting hounds. The resulting chaos earned him the ire of both monarchs, and he barely managed to slip through a newly opened portal to the human realm, landing unceremoniously in Tecumseh. * Personality: Mike is a flamboyant and somewhat theatrical individual, prone to exaggeration and self-importance. He possesses a quick wit and a generally optimistic (if often misguided) outlook. Despite his magical ineptitude, he enjoys performing minor illusions and charms, often to impress or distract. Underneath his bravado, however, lies a deep-seated fear of being discovered by the Faerie courts. He can be somewhat unreliable and prone to making rash decisions, especially when under pressure. He has a fondness for human culture, particularly old movies and jazz music. * Physical Description: Mike appears to be a man in his late 20s or early 30s, with a slightly foppish style. He favors well-worn but stylish clothing, often incorporating elements that seem just a little out of place in Tecumseh (a velvet waistcoat, a brightly colored scarf). He has slightly longer than average dark hair that he often slicks back, and sharp, mischievous eyes that seem to twinkle with amusement. He often sports a wry smile and has a habit of gesturing dramatically when he speaks. Even under his glamour, there's a subtle air of otherworldliness about him. * Biography (in Mike's own words): "Right then, let's get this straight. My name is Mike le Fey. Yes, yes, I know what you're thinking. Hilarious, isn't it? Pure comedic genius on my parents' part, really. Anyway, I'm… well, let's just say I'm a bit of a traveler. Seen a few things, done a few things. Mostly magical, naturally. Back in the old country – Faerie, you might have heard of it? – I was quite the up-and-coming talent. Minor court magician, you know the sort. Bit of enchanting here, a dash of illusion there. Kept the royal parties lively, I did. But, ah, let's just say I had a slight… disagreement… with the management. Queen Tits and King Obie, lovely couple, really, but they have absolutely no sense of humor when it comes to enchanted garden gnomes or turning their prized hunting dogs invisible. So, a quick hop through a conveniently placed portal, and voilà! Here I am in… Tecumseh. Charming little place, in its own rather dull way. Still, keeps a chap out of trouble, mostly. And who knows? Maybe there's a bit of magic to be found even in a place like this. Wouldn't that be a lark?"

Emilia Augustine

* Background/Origin: Emilia was born in London to parents who emigrated from the UK shortly after her birth. She grew up with a fascination for history, particularly the legends of King Arthur. Unbeknownst to her, she is the latest reincarnation of the legendary king, destined to play a pivotal role in the relationship between the human and Faerie realms. As she grew older, she began experiencing vivid dreams and unsettling visions, fragments of a past life she couldn't explain. The weight of these experiences became overwhelming, leading her to seek a quiet life far from the familiar. She chose Tecumseh for its relative obscurity, unaware that it was precisely the place where her destiny awaited. * Personality: Emilia is intelligent, independent, and fiercely private. She is initially resistant to the idea of her supposed destiny, preferring the normalcy of student life. She can be somewhat cynical and sarcastic, using humor as a defense mechanism against the strange occurrences that plague her. Despite her reluctance, she possesses a strong sense of justice and a deep empathy for others. As events unfold, she will be forced to confront her past and the responsibilities that come with it. * Physical Description: Emilia appears to be a young woman in her late teens or early twenties, with a thoughtful and often slightly wary expression. She has shoulder-length brown hair that she often pulls back in a ponytail, and intelligent, hazel eyes that seem to observe the world with a keen awareness. She favors comfortable and practical clothing, often jeans and sweaters, reflecting her desire to blend in. There's a quiet strength in her posture and a subtle air of authority that occasionally surfaces, hinting at her hidden lineage. *Biography (in Emilia's own words): "Look, I just want to be normal, okay? Go to class, hang out with friends, maybe get a decent job after graduation. That's it. That's the dream. But ever since I was little, it's been… weird. Dreams that feel too real, like I've lived them before. Whispers in the back of my mind. It's all a bit much. So, I moved here. Tecumseh seemed like a nice, quiet place to just… be. Study history, get my degree, and try to ignore the feeling that I'm supposed to be doing something… more. My parents, they're great, but they wouldn't understand any of this. Reincarnation? King Arthur? It sounds like something out of a bad fantasy novel. Which is exactly what I want it to be. Just a story. Not my life. So, if you'll excuse me, I have a paper to write on the socio-economic impact of the War of the Roses, and frankly, that seems a lot more manageable than saving the world or whatever it is I'm apparently destined to do."

Puck

* Age Appearance: Thousands of years old, but appears as a young man in his late teens or early twenties. * Physical Description: He has messy brown hair with a slight green tinge to it. His skin also possesses a subtle green hue, and he has pointed ears and mischievous red eyes. * Personality: Puck is a natural trickster and appears to be a fool on the surface. He acts as an advisor to whoever rules Faerie at the time, giving him considerable influence. He revels in chaos and delights in playing pranks and stirring up trouble. * Specific Details: While seemingly loyal and sycophantic to both Titania and Oberon, Puck secretly has his own plans and schemes. He sees humans as playthings but will occasionally work with powerful but exploitable humans, believing that the merging of the human and faerie realms will create an environment ripe for chaos, which he intends to exploit for his own gain. * In His Own Words: "Oh, humans! Such wonderfully gullible creatures! So easily led astray by a bit of glitter and a well-placed lie. And the chaos they create all on their own? Simply delightful! Serving the Queen and the King has its moments, of course. Lots of opportunities for a bit of harmless fun. But between you and me, the real fun starts when things get… unpredictable. Once the worlds are properly tangled, then we'll see what true chaos really looks like. And who will be there to orchestrate it all? Why, yours truly!"
