#80% of his magic involves him fucking himself up physically in the name of science so this tracks like a bullet train

WHAT BRAND OF STUPID ARE YOU?

mad scientist stupid

You might be a genius in one area but you fail hard in other things. You try to apply your knowledge of one thing to something you aren't great at to varying results. You are reckless and do whatever it takes in pursuit of your goal (this usually involves something exploding). You were doing quantum physics this morning but charred your grilled cheese for dinner. Your social skills probably aren't the best but you're "that person that knows a lot about the thing" so that's something to be proud of

supernatural vld au is now tentatively named what's hidden next to you (will soon be seen)! I’ve been working on trying to finalize the characters in this AU, so right now we have:

Takashi “Shiro” Shirogane: history teacher at Garrison High, popular with both students and staff alike. went missing at the same time as Samuel Holt, the science teacher and his son, only to mysteriously turn up five days later missing his right arm. gets involved in the world of the supernatural after one of Lotor’s generals attempts to kill him under the belief that he’s been sent by the rift creatures to further their designs, now under the protection of Allura

Allura Altea: an arctic dragon whose father disappeared under mysterious circumstances related to the rift. can assume human form and manipulate ice. she’s determined to protect Shiro because she believes he’s the only link she has to her missing father, but why the fuck does he live in the desert.

Coran Hieronymus Wimbleton Smythe: a fire dragon in the service of the Altea family, namely Allura’s father. her caretaker ever since her father’s disappearance as a young girl. am I shamelessly ripping off his dragon design from the monsters and mana episode? absolutely.

Lance McClain: allura’s childhood friend, an arctic merman. insisted on going with her after she heard about a lead about her father. he can use water-based magic and works well in tandem with Allura’s magic. This is his first time out among humans so he’s very excited. quickly befriends hunk and just as quickly is ready to fight keith. some things never change.

Hunk Garrett: a mage, specializing in earth magic, who comes from a long line of earth mages. he’s also taught himself kitchen magic, and his a top notch engineer if he does say so himself. local befriender of transfer students and semi-professional keith wrangler.

Keith Kogane: a student of shiro’s that he’s particularly worried about bc he expects his living situation is not the best. foster kid, good friend of Hunk and Romelle, cryptid lover, urban explorer, and local enigma. presumably human. emphasis on the presumably part.

Katie Holt: Sam’s half-vampire daughter, takes more after her vampire mother so she’s homeschooled, as opposed to her brother Matt. she’s searching for information about her missing family and zeroes in on Shiro as being suspicious before she clears him. she does think he’s her closest lead, however.

Adam Warner: physics teacher and Shiro’s ex-boyfriend who panicked when he realized how serious they were getting on account of the fact that he’s a werewolf. now both he and Shiro are trying to hide their supernatural-related secrets from each other. just kiss already, you dumbasses.

Romelle Pollux: transfer student from “overseas”, but it is unclear where and she changes her story every time. self taught witch, provider of charms and potions to the local student population. keith just thinks she’s really into crystals and you know what? he respects that. dresses like she’s straight out of an 80s/90s teen movie.

Lotor: half-dragon, half-vampire. was once Allura’s childhood friend before their differences in opinion on how to deal with their parents’ disappearances split them apart. now they’re full fledged enemies, as Lotor seeks to eliminate Shiro before he can become a threat.

Acxa: Lotor’s loyal right hand woman. half-dragon, half-mermaid. she agrees that the rift creatures need to be stopped, though she doesn’t always agree with Lotor’s methods.

Ezor: half-naga, half-human, all girlfriend. more devoted to zethrid than she is lotor, but she’s still pretty devoted to lotor.

Zethrid: half-werewolf, half-demon. will crush your skull if you look at either ezor or lotor wrong.

Narti: a mysterious woman with strange abilities who serves Lotor. rumored to be the result of experimentation with magic.
