BACKSTORY:

extremely barebones rn because i just wanna get the update up ! so just the important stuff !

triggers: mention of infidelity, alcoholism

same old song and dance - born to mama st. james after a brief hiatus between herself and dad st. james. was accepted just the same as any bio son !

that said, this time... it did not take long for anyone to realize he was a mutant because the motherfucker was born with hooves, fire, and a mane.

was able to shift the hooves and mane by the time he was grade-school aged, but never the flames on the side of his face. burning. breathing. heaving. fl- flames! (kael that one was for u)

time skippity skip

went to college in new york and met a woman, carina, whom he fell head over heels for. and her the same !

some years pass, he asks her to marry her, she says yes ! they have a great wedding !

some more years pass, she gets a job opportunity in chicago. wanting the best for his wife, thinking it a nice change of pace, and knowing his sister lived there, levi was like ‘oh hell yeah!’

some more years pass, they have their first child, charlotte.

do you love it ?

loves it.

roughly three years later, levi learns that there’s one facet left to his ability when he thought he’d discovered them all: immortality.

(idk how he discovered it yet maybe he should’ve died at some point maybe he met someone who just knew idk)

a history of alcoholism that has not yet been referenced because this is totally barebones ( a prev dead partner too ), he relapsed when he realized that he would not only outlive carina, but outlive his child. 

he would come home late and sloppy. he would miss work. he was probs fired idk! just bad timez all around, worsened when he found out carina had been having an affair. ( but he never got violent, just wanna make that clear :eyebrow_raised_emoji: ) 

when carina officially proposed a divorce, he was not happy about that... but, like... the fuck was he gonna do ? but he didn’t wanna lose his family unit :(

lol turns out charlotte really loved her dad because, unbeknownst to any of the three, she had some little pheromone mutation shit that made them stay together and got levi clean.

but it was broken, again with the help of bones, and carina assumed levi had something to do with it since it did directly what he wanted.

she got sole custody of charlotte, leaving levi with visitation rights... but he has a hunch that, if he were not visibly mutant, it would be split -- yes, he still may have less days, but his only crime would’ve been a history of alcoholism with no violent incidents and a clean slate for a year. nonetheless...

so now he’s fucking around and finding out.

got his job back, started going to AA meetings, started leaving the city when he needed a break as a whole -- the whole nine yards. but it still isn’t enough !

blahblahblah his daughter :eye_emoji:

TIMELINE:

1987: born to a family of mutants. is not the biological son of his father’s, but is treated as such. wants for little ! has a fiery mane and hooves.

1993: has already learned to shift his hooves into regular feet and do away with the mane, but will never be able to do away with the rest of the fire ( consult task for locations ).

2008: levi meets carina– aka, the woman who will wind up becoming his wife. they hit it off, no powers needed.

2011: levi proposes and she says yes ! they have a lovely little wedding !

2012: they relocate to chicago, where january is residing, due to a job opportunity.

2016: they start trying for a child.

2018: they have a daughter: charlotte. 

2021: levi learns he’s immortal which has made things rough in paradise. he’s turned back to drinking, leaving carina to pick up the pieces. she’s begun an affair. carina decides that it’s best for all involved if they get a divorce. the next day, everything was back to the way it had been... ( turns out charlotte had a little spell of her own -- one she wasn’t aware she was casting, but one that kept her dad in the picture )

2022: everything has been going so well ! then bones stepped in like the hero dog he is, did a lil nip nip, and made the spell drop. carina assumed levi had something to do with it since it had reinforced what he wanted and they had no other way to explain it. she wound up getting sole custody of charlotte but, because his only crime was a history of alcoholism with no violent incidents + he’d been sober for a year, he has a suspicion that a factor in why he didn’t get even two days... is because he’s a visible mutant and carina is not.

2022/2023: he’s been trying to get back into the habit of being… a good guy, to say the least. he’s been trying to become healthier with aa meetings, trying to make new friends, and branching out more, all in the hopes that he’ll gain more than just visitation rights.

HEADCANONS:

the kid he got to keep in the divorce ? their great dane, bones. blake had forgiven bones for the bite – dogs are too smart, it’s very canon that bones knew what was going on and had to find a way to alert them both! – but… he was levi’s concern now.

he still looks up to january – and not just because of how powerful she is. that said, her power can make him underestimate himself. between her ability to warp all of reality and his father’s ability to affect the whole world by changing the weather, he’s like “look at this cool party trick!” 

takes in every stray that comes to the vet and stays for over three weeks with no takers. he now has three cats and three dogs. cats: froot loop, frosted flake, mini wheat. dogs: bones ( the og! ), green bean, zucchini. then he also has a bearded dragon and some fishes.

on that note, an exercise junkie -- which is perfect for the big dogs ! they get lots of activity !

hopes to establish a decent rapport with carina again. he knows they’ve begun butting heads now, her angry over the spell she believes he cast, him angry over why she got sole custody... but, once upon a time, they loved each other. and they both love charlotte. he wants visitations to go smoothly, and he wants to be a proper dad to charlotte as opposed to someone uncle-adjacent.

often thinks ‘life is too short to hold grudges’... then remembers he’s immortal, lol.

will head out to the wooded areas beyond chicago when he really needs to escape... and turn into a fire horse...

idk i had other things to say but i forgot them! so i’ll add them later!

CONNECTION IDEAS:

his ex-spouse / co-parent of his daughter !!! filled so description has been deleted because that’s a long one !

besties ! there throughout the relationship through the divorce. 

co-workers ! some more vets or vet techs !

family ! i do believe the st. james family has been established as being fairly large, so… hit kael up first FAHODSUILAJS then me !

new people for him to love ! *eye-roll emoji* <- i just copied and pasted my old connections so this was tailored to lover boy levi, but i’ll keep it.

brainstorming !
