OCKiss 2024- Prompt Darkness

Opening scene from the first draft of Blood Harmony. There's a kiss in there, I promise!!

I didn’t feel pain; only the impact as the bullet lodged itself into my left shoulder.  I gritted my teeth, and forced myself onwards, ignoring the warmth of the blood as it ran down my arm, slicking my hand, where I had, by some miracle, managed to keep a grip of the knife.  My target, the Archeon Demon, lowered the silenced pistol, tucking it into his suit jacket. Several of the startled party guests, soaked by the sprinklers, ran past him, and for a second, I lost sight of him. I thought he would have used the scared herd to make his own escape, but as they made their way to the fire exit, he was still there.  His blue eyes met mine, and I could have sworn that the corners of his mouth twitched into a smile. He adjusted the cufflinks of his shirtsleeves, smoothing his navy blue suit. He stood like he had all the time in the world, nonchalant that I was about to send him back to hell.  “I assume that this is your doing, Mavis?” He had to shout to be heard over the fire alarm that rang out, and the screams of the fearful crowds that remained in the art gallery. Below me, I could hear the pops of gunfire as the rest of the Hunters made their way through the crowds, dealing with the lesser demons in the building.  With my free hand, I tried to push my thumb into my shoulder, stemming the bleeding, but only managed to lodge the bullet further into the shoulder socket.  Around me, the paint from the canvas was running down the walls, and several paintings had disintegrated due to the amount of water being released.  “Such a waste,” the Archeon shook his head sadly. His sandy hair was plastered to his head, and rivulets ran down his face into his neatly trimmed beard.  I didn’t have much time left; I could hear the others shouting. I hoped that most of the civilians had made it to safety.  A few casualties would be worth it; a regrettable price to pay for putting an end to the life of the Demon who stood before me.  I swung out as best as I could, but he simply stepped backwards out of my range, the knife not even slicing the material of his jacket.  He caught my wrist, twisting it painfully, and the blade fell from my bloodied hand. I winced in pain, as the fire tore up my arm to my shoulder.  With his other hand, he grabbed me by the neck and slammed me into the wall, knocking the wind from my lungs. Spots danced before my eyes as my head bounced against the exposed brickwork.  “It’s such a shame that we have to meet like this, Mave,” his eyes darted quickly, as if he was trying to study my face. I tried to pull myself free, but he was stronger, and had me in a firm grip. He hushed me, and shook his head sadly. “She never wanted this for you, you know that don’t you?”  “Go to back hell,” I bared my teeth at him, and tried again, in vain, to break free of his grip.  “It’s not a place I’ve actually been,” his lips quirked again into an almost-smile. “I have to admit that you’ve actually surprised me. I never thought James and his crew would ever dare to attack in public.” Good; I had to keep him talking. I could just run down the clock. I couldn’t look at my watch to know how much longer we had, but it couldn’t be long. I felt at peace; my sacrifice would allow my father to achieve our mission, and I’d have helped defeat an Archeon.  He kissed me, fiercely and passionately. His lips were pressed to mine, and the whiskers of his beard brushed against my face.  His eyes widened and he stumbled backward, clutching his abdomen. With the back of one hand, I wiped my lips, spitting out blood. With the other, I tossed away his gun that I had unloaded into him.  “I’ll see you in hell,” I gave him a bloody grin as the building shook as the first of the explosives we’d rigged to the supports blew.  The world ended in a flash of white, roaring heat, and then blackness.

(I have to answer this Like This because I am a clown who somehow turned her ask box off but thank U for still sending this despite that fact 😭) @clarasogatsby

Either way!!! Thank you so much for the message I love talking about these stupid characters and these ridiculous books—it keeps the Twilight gears turning in my brain which keeps the hyper-fixation strong 🤩🤩🤩

Do I think Alice hates her? I mean, she definitely doesn’t like Maria. I can’t imagine you’d have any fond feelings for anyone your vampire husband spent 80 years alongside, killing and fighting (and fucking?—if you go by movie canon), especially knowing how terrible the situation was, how depressed he was, and how much you may or may not have witnessed with your wild vamp super-powers in the time period before finding said vampire husband.

@volturialice and I were talking about it a little last week and agree that we definitely think Alice has some sort of reluctant allowance of Jasper to stay “on good terms” with Maria because I mean… If we’re going to look at positive things here: Maria did keep Jasper alive for 80-odd years, and she would be a very powerful/good ally to have (and because of that, would likely make a bit of a dangerous enemy, too).

(also I'm putting this under a read more bc I can't shut up apparently)

But what does “on good terms” with mean? THAT’S what’s fun. I don’t think they’re sending Christmas cards to each other, and I find it notable (and I, personally, hate) that Maria was absent during the Breaking Dawn Volturi confrontation. Did Alice and Jasper even attempt to get her as a witness? Did they try to and did she laugh in their faces? Did they avoid Mexico altogether during their mad dash to find proof of other hybrids? Would Maria’s presence have made things worse? 🤩 Thats what’s so FUN! You can play around with that so much. “Good terms” for someone with a background like Jasper’s might just mean “We aren’t actively plotting to kill one another; haha progress, y’know?” (Meanwhile Rosalie is in the background looking for their ‘Trauma And You’ books they keep in the living room as like, a coffee table book for their various vampire guests to look at.)

I personally lean towards that meaning that Jasper and Maria both consider the other one a valuable ally to have (worth more alive than dead) and will keep up a very, very loose and tense ‘acquaintance-ship’ because of this. I don’t think Alice likes her but will tolerate whatever link Jasper has to keep up with her because it’s better to be safe than sorry. Another important thing to note (and another thing that G brought up to me) was that in no way does Alice feel threatened by Maria’s existence, in any way. (I know people enjoy thinking that there’s some touch of jealousy or insecurity when it comes to Alice’s feelings about Maria—which is fine for fic! But it doesn’t track with her canon characterization.)

Alice has too much confidence and, thanks to her gift, too much assurance that she’ll see anything coming (Maria shenanigans included). Because of this I don’t think Jasper really HAS to “reason” with Alice on any front. If anything I can see it being some form of the reverse. For all we know Alice has seen 36638 visions of situations where having Maria around might help, meaning she could very well be the one forcing Jasper to play nice. (She also might have twice the amount of visions proving the opposite. Alice is practical though. People really are little chess pieces in her little Board of Life.)

Calgary is an INTENSELY fun thing to think and speculate about. Especially since Midnight Sun gifts us with the proof that Maria is “undeniably dangerous” and that after she’d “tracked them down” in Calgary they’d “had to move immediately.” Did she accidentally kill an ‘important’ human or implicate the Cullens while looking for a meal by sheer bad luck? Did she get silly and devious with her visit and orchestrate some dramatic way to get the Cullens to slip up and it worked? Did she put up a Midnight Sun-esque billboard reading “WARNING: LOCAL DOCTOR AND FAMILY ARE VAMPIRES”? Who knows! I personally head canon something a little more machiavellian; something that would’ve definitely made (at LEAST) Jasper slip. Something to prove that she may have some sort of impact or sway on him even after a period of time away from her and human blood. Maria pulling some sick power play just for funsies is what I imagine she’d do.

But again, Maria is fun because in Edward and Bella’s world (the world we’re told to care about) Maria isn’t a villain, she’s just a footnote in Jasper’s backstory. Who is just a footnote on Edward and Bella’s story if we’re being honest here. But as Jasper and Alice fans, we LOVE to dig deep into that because that’s a tie that links directly to them and is way too interesting to just ignore.

We (Jalice stans with taste) adore Maria because of 1) how MUCH potential her character is given with the little bit of information we receive and 2) she CAN be such a delightful antagonist to have because of the world she comes from and the life she leads. You can cast her in the role of ‘villain’ for fic purposes (as I have very notably done) but I don’t see her as a villain at all. I mean exactly what I say in this silly text post.

Remember, the Cullens are the only vampires who think murdering humans is ‘bad.’ It’s not illegal (for them, I mean). It’s their damn food source. And with their only law being “haha, keep it all on the DL you guys” then everything that Maria does is technically above board. She cleans up after herself, the humans don’t catch on, and if she gets to conquer some land in the meantime, then you go girl boss! 😌💅🏼

To wrap up: I don’t see Maria as a villain in canon at all, although she can be extremely fun to utilize as one in fic and in people’s personal canon. Mainly due to how interesting she is, and if she were a by-definition villain (or somehow, in some far off horrible future where smeyer continues writing Twilight books, if she ever became one) then I would only stan her 1000x as hard. I am a bimbo first, but a villain fucker second, and I would wholeheartedly welcome her with open arms if she ever got to be a fucked up mean little bitch in canon. (And then I’d die happy after she tore my throat out and I’d pray that she’d say something rude and demeaning about me over my bloodless corpse 🤩🤩🤩)

Blaine Colt → Jensen Ackles  → Hunter

→ Basic Information

Age: 38

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Straight

Birthday: April 21st

Zodiac Sign: Taurus

Religion: Irreligion

→ His Personality Blaine has a unique personality. As the head of the Chicago Colt family, Blaine lets off an intimidating air of dominance and control. He is extremely loyal to his family. He is highly intelligent, logical, clever, and a brilliant strategist; he can anticipate and preempt enemy plans. While he can be very intimidating, dangerous, and brutal, he is also a strangely charismatic man. Blaine can be very casual and calm when speaking to an ally but he has a temper that can frighten just about anybody; he is known for being a violent, sadistic, and murderous sociopath. Blaine is not one to make jokes or goof around. He is always true to himself and is a very honest and dependable man; it is not really in his nature to lie, even if his honesty is brutal. Blaine often shows little empathy and remorse, especially towards those who are supernaturals. He takes being a hunter seriously.

Blaine is typically ruthless, emotionless, and aggressive when he is hunting. Unlike many other hunters throughout the world, Blaine does not underestimate his enemies, he knows full well how dangerous and advanced supernaturals are. Hunting is a task which he approaches enthusiastically, making him the most merciless of the Colt family. Blaine is willing to kill children, women and elderly supernaturals. He can snap the necks of infants without thinking of his own children or torture a mated pair without comparing it to his wife and sympathizing. Blaine is known for his unorthodox methods for gaining information; most will likely trigger even the nastiest of souls. Despite these traits, Blaine is very likable and well-disposed when not on the hunt, and he values the safety of his family and innocent civilians above all else, even his own life. Blaine has a soft spot for children and teens in his family; more so his own. He is exceptionally good with them, very sympathetic and able to talk to them with ease. He is always willing to attend school or aftercare games and tournaments when he is not away on a hunt, volunteering to top off fluids in their vehicles before a long trip or simply leading them an ear to talk to and occasionally giving his input.

Blaine has extensive knowledge of who is who in Chicago and remains stern with his family to keep on terms with rival hunters and supernaturals in the surrounding area. Blaine leads the Colt far more liberally than his father had done. Blaine is very tolerant and farsighted, having no problems with people of other colors or sexual orientation as long as it is not rubbed in his face. His marriage with Imani Anderson, a part of a predominantly African American Hunter Family, has opened doors for his once alienated and hated family within the hunter community. Blaine knows of the name their family has built up for themselves, however, the connection with the Anderson family has also opened a gateway to the local human shifters. Blaine is wondering if their family should also adopt some of the Anderson ways.

→ His Connections Parent Names:

Bryce Colt (Father): Bryce did his best taking care of two boys after their mom was killed. Blaine always had a close relationship with his father. They are able to grab drinks together, go hunting together or simply watch the game on the big screen. Bryce taught Blaine that hunting is stressful enough without bringing it home to the family. Blaine shares in this philosophy with his wife and kids.

Regina Colt (Mother): Regina was killed during a hunt when Blaine was still young. He does not remember much about her but misses her very much.

Brittney Colt (Step-Mother): Brittney and Blaine started off on the wrong foot and it was never fixed. She came in trying to replace and erase his mom.

Sibling Names:

Colin Colt (Little Brother): The Colt brothers are quite formidable separately but they are a force to be reckoned with together. They shared a brotherly bond that Blaine thought could never be broken but lately the brothers have been at odds.

Elle Colt (Little Sister): Blaine was happy when he found out he was getting a sister. No matter how much she cried nor her spitting up on him as a baby, Blaine loved her. Elle running out on her engagement with the Stone Family has caused a lot of problems for Blaine. He says he wishes she would have just taken one for the team but he cares enough about his little sister not to be too harsh with her.

Alice Colt (Half-Sister): Blaine is closest with Alice out of all his half siblings. She used to follow him around as a kid and it shows. Alice is a perfect blend of their father and himself. Blaine tends to be harder on Alice because she has potential but they are two peas in a pot behind closed doors.

Casper Colt (Half-Brother): Blaine has a low tolerance when it comes to Casper. He reminds Blaine too much of Brittney. Blaine believes Casper will get someone killed if he becomes a hunter and his arrogant attitude has no place in the field.

Amy Colt (Half-Sister): Amy has always been closer to Elle. Blaine wanted to hurt Amy when she was young but their father pulled him aside and had the importance of family talk with him. Blaine was blaming Amy for the death of his mother and Amy’s mom, Brittney, not only replacing her but giving their dad another baby. Blaine quickly got over his hatred, ashamed of the way he acted.

Children Names:

Bryson Colt (Son): Bryson is showing a lot of promise. At the age of 6, Bryson can recite random species traits better than the ‘Baby Shark’ song. Bryson reminds Blaine of his relationship with his dad. Bryson is Blaine’s little helper.

Wesson Colt (Son): Wesson a hellion at the simple age of 4 and a half. Blaine swears Wesson is more Anderson than Colt and naming him after a gun was a horrible idea. Wesson keeps Blaine on his toes and Blaine knows Wesson is going to be one hell of a hunter when he is older and properly trained.

Orion Colt (Son): Akins twin brother. Blaine and Imani were trying one more time for a girl but were surprised to find out they were having twin boys. Blaine is grateful for his son and they brighten up his day. Orion has just turned 2 years old.

Akins Colt (Son): Orion twin brother. Blaine and Imani were trying one more time for a girl but were surprised to find out they were having twin boys. Blaine is grateful for his son and they brighten up his day. Akins has just turned 2 years old.

Romantic Connections:

Imani Colt nee Anderson (Wife): Imani was Blaine’s first real romantic connection. It was easier for him to sleep around instead of dating seriously until the day he agreed to do a joint hunt with the Anderson Hunter Family. Imani was not at all what he expected and she dominated their hunt; Blaine started to actively pursue her afterwards. They dated for a long period before deciding to get married.

Platonic Connections:

Hailey Colt (Cousin): Blaine is at a loss for what to do with Hailey. He knows being assigned at Lilly’s is not a desirable permanent position, especially with her skills, but there isn’t much for her to do for the family. He’s asked Elle to see about having her train with Amy, or possibly as a hacker.

Iris Colt (Cousin): Iris was the perfect solution when James Stone reached out to form an alliance again. He is grateful she is going along with it, and that she has made a good impression on the Stones.

Megan Colt (Cousin): Megan is closer to Blaine age than Iris and Hailey. Their relationship is strong and Blaine sees her as another sister. As Blaine took on more responsibilities, their relationship did slow down, Megan started hanging out more with Amy and Elle but Blaine still considers her a close friend.

D.W Colt (Sister-In-Law): Blaine is starting to doubt D.W. after Imani, Amy, and Alice all brought their concerns to him. They rushed her vetting process because she was the first person that Colin had fallen for in a long time. He doesn’t want to offend Colin, or damage their relationship anymore, but all of Colin’s defenses for her are becoming thinner as the months drag on. He is considering having someone less connected to the Chicago family investigate.

Ebony Anderson (Sister-In-Law): Blaine like Ebony. Ebony encouraged Imani to start dating Blaine and has always been supportive of their relationship.

Grant Anderson (Father-In-Law): Blaine’s marriage to Imani was not arranged. He was surprised when Grant seemed to accept him as his new son-in-law. They often attend basketball games together or attend car or gun shows together.

Trevon Anderson (Friend): Trevon is Imani’s cousin and seems to have the same views as Blaine’s family insteads of his own, the Andersons.

Thea Stone (Friend): Blaine knew Thea before she married into the Colt family. She could have done better and they joke about it all the times

Alexus Anderson (Hunter Ally): Blaine has known Alexus for most of his life.  

Churchill Darling (Reluctant Ally): Blaine works alongside the human shifters second in command when his family needs information or the law cannot touch certain supernaturals; including when clan leaders refuse to serve justice.

Arthur Milligan (Acquaintance): Blaine met D.W friend on a few occasions. They have not really talked and Blaine does not remember much about him.

Lillian Pickford (Acquaintance): Blaine met D.W friend on a few occasions. They have not really talked and Blaine does not remember much about her.

Hostile Connections:

James Stone (Hate): Blaine has never liked James Stone. They have always bumped heads. Blaine had even tried to partner up with James on a hunt when they were both junior hunters and James nearly got them both killed. He has tried not to hold a grudge against the Stone family that his ancestors once had but James had made it nearly impossible. Blaine ignores him as much as he can now.

Eric Lasiter (Dislike): Eric believes Imani screwed him out of a deal. Blaine has wanted to set him straight for a while but Imani swears she will handle it and Blaine has backed off. His dislike for the warlock however has not lessened.

Paul Stone (Unsure): Paul was chosen to forge an alliance with the Stone Hunter Family. He was the only available and suitable Stone male for Iris. Blaine knows that they have hit it off but Paul has yet made it a point to get to know their side of the family while Iris has been sharing pleasantries with the Stones.

Shelton Mills (Unknown): Blaine is aware of the rat shifters in Chicago. He is also aware that they give hunters a wide berth compared to the rats activity reported around other supernaturals. It has taken his family years to get him the name of the lead rat in charge of watching over his family and hunters in general. Blaine is unsure what his next move is with this information besides calling out the name next time he sees a rat watching him from across the street.

Dan Prior (Unsure): Everyone knows the story of Dan Prior. The human that said no and was changed anyways as punishment. Blaine’s father tried to work Dan cases with the Stone Family multiple times and had gotten nowhere. Blaine was 8 years old when it happened and still to this day, he has kept an eye on Dan.

Supergirl Meta: Mon-El (again)

I originally posted ananalysis (Supergirl: Mon-El) for Supergirl, but I want to expand on it to address two major arguments against Mon-El. The first is that he’s a “magical unicorn” or Mary-Sue character, and the second is that he’s an annoying, abusive frat-boy.

(I also want to write about the relationship between Kara and Mon-El (aka Karamel) in relation to where Season 2 is going, but due to length, that will be a separate post.)

Under the cut for spoilers of all episodes of Supergirl through 02x15 Exodus and for length.

Argument #1: Mon-El is a Mary-Sue

A Mary-Sue/Magical Unicorn character is a character who is added to an existing narrative that reads too good to be true. There are a number of articles out there that identify Mon-El as one such character, and to illustrate, here’s an excerpt from one of them:

I once read a 400,000 word Buffy and Angel and Highlander and X-Files crossover with a self-insert lead character who magically woos Buffy and is super rich and best friends with everyone and super good at fighting and stuff and it was more believable then the nonsense Supergirl has delivered unto its audience with Mon-El.

-- Excerpt from article “Supergirl has a Mon-El Problem”

This article is particularly good because it lists a bunch of things that Mon-El has done that make him out to be one an unrealistic character insert. I thought I’d use it as a place to start a counter-argument. (To see the full list, check out the source.)

1. Magically appeared just after the heroine inexplicably dumps the guy she’s been crushing on for a year for no reason.

Kara doesn’t pursue a romantic relationship with James for a lot of different reasons. There we so many, in fact, that I made an entirely separate post for it: Supergirl: Kara/James Meta.

As to why the Kryptonian pod crash landed now, thirty-seven years after it departed Daxam... that’s still a bit of a mystery right now. Maybe we’ll find out why in 02x16 Star-crossed.

2. Immediately integrated with all the characters.

Untrue. Mon-El had considerable conflict with Alex, who calls him a coward (02x06 Changing) and tells him she doesn’t believe in him at all. He doesn’t have much of a relationship with J’onn or James. The only friends he has seem to be Winn (who helps assess his abilities) and Kara, though he seems to make acquaintances easily while “living at the alien bar” (02x07 The Darkest Places).

Mon-El has spent remarkably little time with J’onn. I say this because J’onn also lost his entire race and wound up stranded on this planet. J’onn could’ve also been a solid ally in a number of situations, such as dealing with a fifth dimensional being in 02x13 Mr. & Mrs. Mxyzptlk and handling Jeremiah’s return in 02x14 Homecoming. These are both times when Mon-El could’ve gone to J’onn with his concerns (about Kara not taking Mxy as a serious threat, about Jeremiah possibly being compromised). J’onn is the leader of the DEO, and he cares about the Danvers sisters. So why hasn’t he gone to J’onn?

Whatever the reasons, Mon-El and J’onn aren’t exactly fast friends, though it’s clear Mon-El respects him (as he gives up to save J’onn’s life in 02x07 The Darkest Place).

For the most part, Guardian/James seems to tolerate Mon-El, as does Alex, though he seems to be growing on her (though his issues with Jeremiah in 02x14 Homecoming might have ruined that progress entirely, only time will tell).

In short, he has friends in Kara and Winn, but everyone else? Ehh, not really.

3. Proven to be the “cool” one that teaches everyone to drink and has zero issue with gay people.

I think it’s quite apparent that 02x04 Survivors that Winn is more than capable of drinking on his own, as he beats Mon-El during every drinking game we see on screen. The only person he “teaches” to drink (if you can call it that) was Kara, who he dares/makes a deal with her to drink something that would be poisonous to humans but harmless to Kryptonians/Daxamites (02x06 Changing).

He might be “cool” with zero-issues with gay people, but he’s also from a hedonistic planet, which might be why he indulges in alcohol/lives at the alien bar (02x07 The Darkest Places).

Also, this overlooks his constant slip-ups with the English. For example, calling Kara’s mother “a babe,” (meaning, beautiful woman) admitting his own confusion over the phrase “chillax for five,” and saying “awe and some” as if it were two separate words (02x04 Survivors). And that’s only in one episode. No matter how extroverted/socially inclined he might be, he doesn’t just magically fit in this world upon arrival.

Part of being “cool” is making everything seem easy, making it appear as if stuff doesn’t matter to you. If you geek out over something (for example, characters in a superhero shows), you tend to lose “cool credit.” But the fact remains that his desire to drink/socialize in a bar scene is related to how he handle’s grief and inner turmoil. He covers his feelings by drinking after seeing Supergirl and J’onn super-sucked by Parasite (02x06 Changing). He likewise wants to forget about the somber thoughts of his lost planet by indulging in fun and games and/or drinking (02x04 Survivors). 

He’s got a cool exterior, but he’s a giant spazz.

4. Been revealed to be super strong and super fast and generally a badass.

Okay, yes, Mon-El is super-strong and fast. But he’s also a giant spazz. Consider the outcome of... well, every single fight he has had so far:

Mon-El vs. Supergirl. His coma wake up gave him an element of surprise that enabled him to “win” this particular fight and escape the DEO, though arguable, it’s beginners luck (02x03 Welcome to Earth).

Mon-El vs. Supergirl, take two. Supergirl kicks his ass and says, “Stay down Daxamite!” He no longer has the element of surprise. He loses. Big time (02x03 Welcome to Earth).

Mon-El accidentally injures two people in a bar. Not really a fight, but this counts as a loss because he doesn’t know what he’s doing and doesn’t mean to do it (02x04 Survivors).

Mon-El attempts to intervene on Supergirl’s behalf during Lena Luthor’s ball, and in turn he gets blasted across the room with an alien gun, leaving him down for the count for the rest of the episode (02x05 Crossfire).

Mon-El faces off against Parasite. While he does save one child by catching a car, he spends the rest of the fight getting his ass kicked by Parasite until Guardian shows up and saves him (02x06 Changing).

Mon-El is attacked and abducted by Cadmus (02x06 Changing).

Mon-El manages a sneaky escape from his Cadmus prison, only to be duped into staying behind to “save J’onn” (02x07 The Darkest Place).

Mon-El nearly dies and admits he’s terrified (02x07 The Darkest Place).

Mon-El, thinking he sees J’onn, follows Hank Henshaw out of the Alien Bar and gets his ass kicked by Cyborg Superman (02x08 Medusa).

Mon-El attempts to step in to help Kara defend the captured humans on Maaldoria and gets hit in the face/knocked to the ground for his trouble (02x09 Supergirl Lives).

With the help of the other humans, they overcome their captors on Maaldoria, who are focusing their firepower on Supergirl, and he takes over one of the guns to help them all escape -- which he seems decent with, until it gets shot from his hands (02x09 Supergirl Lives).

He faces off against the faux-live-wires and nearly gets electrocuted--but redirects the energy elsewhere (02x10 We Can Be Heroes).

Mon-El tries to take down Livewire’s captor, but instead gets captured (02x10 We Can Be Heroes). He does okay when Supergirl shows up... but only with an assist from Guardian.

Mon-El loses every fight against Mxy... very, very badly. (02x13 Mr. & Mrs. Mxyzptlk)

So, yes, he’s powerful, but let’s be honest, as a superhero he kind of sucks. To date, he’s saved one child (02x06 Changing) and has lost nearly every single fight he has been in. The only exceptions are his very first fight (element of surprise) during his escape from the DEO, and during the successful escape on Maaldoria.

Every other time, he has either lost, required someone (Guardian, Supergirl) else to save them, or required assistance to achieve anything. 

He’s got superpowers, but he’s still a giant spazz.

5. Is secretly the prince of an entire world.

Okay, this is probably true, but Daxam is gone. Being the prince of a dead planet doesn’t really count for much. He can’t go home. There’s no home to go to.

6. Fallen madly in love with the titular character.

Conceded. He did. I have no argument against this at all.

7. Had titular character return those feelings even though she is incapable of giving one reason why she likes him besides "he tries hard" and is attractive.

Besides J’onn, Mon-El is the only character who can truly relate to Kara in terms of losing his planet (after having grown up there). J’onn has been a parental figure, not a love interest, and her relationship with Mon-El has been evolving since he woke up: enemies, reluctant acquaintances, mentor/mentoree, friends... and so on.

Kara and Mon-El have also had a number of conversations that even she and Clark could never have had, such as talking about certain planets they visited and the kinds of dancing they had on their home worlds.

She’s got lots of reason to connect with him and to reciprocate his feelings. Thought I’m sure the fact that he tries and is attractive are part of that.

8. Immediately determined a long lost father was evil while everyone around him went FULL stupid and walked right into evil dad's trap.

Part of being prince of a dead planet would be a basic conditioning for life at court, which (assuming it’s anything like the monarchies of earth) means constant suspicious of everyone around them.

Not to mention the fact that Jeremiah Danvers, before being modified, wouldn’t have a hope to win in a fight against J’onn. So it’s not like no precautions were taken...

9. Saved the day because he was calm and collected and persistent about evil dad while the ladies were too weepy to notice the obvious bad guy in their midst.

Actually, no he didn’t. The only time he’s saved the day was on Maaldoria, when the Dominator let him and the others go when he put himself between the escaping humans/Supergirl. During 02x14 Homecoming, Mon-El was with Alex and Kara searching for the “bomb” Jeremiah had guided them to... If anyone saved the day, it was Winn, who hid a tracker on Jeremiah so they could pursue him into the woods. And even that didn’t really work out.

IN SUMMARY... Basically, Mon-El isn’t a very successful Superhero. He hasn’t integrated with everyone on the team/show. He’s not a magical unicorn. He is, in fact, a giant spazz still adapting to this world.

Argument #2: Mon-El is an annoying, abusive frat-boy

I can’t speak to the annoying bit, as that is a matter of opinion, but I can speak to the “frat boy” comment that came from Kara herself.

PART ONE: FRAT BOY Everyone deals with grief and misery in their own way. Some people brood. Other people try to bury themselves in work or to forget it with drinking/carousing/anything that can do to make themselves forget.

It’s pretty clear that Mon-El favors the latter.

MON-EL: Yeah, I know it's a long shot, but any chance there was a response to that signal I sent to Daxam? I mean, I can't be the only one left, right?

ALEX: I'm sorry, but, no. 

(long pause)

MON-EL: Right, uh... Anyway, enough of those... Those dreary thoughts, right? So, what do you guys do for fun around here? Do you drink or dance or... Oh, hey, do they play Garata here?

ALEX: What's Garata?

KARA: It's like soccer, with dragons.

WINN: No, not that. Uh, we have PlayStation.

MON-EL: Great. So, when do we get out of here and do that... That thing you just said?

-- Episode 02x04 Survivors

His first reaction to learning his planet is gone (and, indeed, there was no response to his distress signal, which cements this idea) is to “go out and have fun.” While this might seem like evidence of him being a “frat boy,” a lot of people handle grief/pain/sorrow like this. For those of us who handle it in other ways (such as brooding/throwing themselves into work), this seems impossible. How can you go out and have fun when you’re feeling so horrible? How can you laugh and smile when you’ve lost everything?

Nevertheless, it is a common copping mechanism, and just as valid as any other someone might use to pull themselves up after a tremendous loss.

Chances are, Mon-El earned his reputation of “frat boy of the universe” from this particularly coping strategy. It also implies that he was deeply unhappy with his life as it was on Daxam. That might be because he opposed institutions like slavery but had no means by which to end them (even though he was going to be king and therefore would be - in theory - the most powerful person on the planet, it’s likely that his true power was limited by factions--including major factions that supported slavery).

We also know that on Daxam, marriages are arranged from birth.

“On Daxam, we had arranged marriages, chosen for you at birth. You reach a certain age, boom. You're latched to that person.”

-- Mon-El in episode 02x07 The Darkest Place

This suggests that Mon-El, even as the Prince of Daxam, had no choice when it came to who he spent the rest of his life with, which is pretty restrictive compared even with the monarchies of earth. He can have all the power of a monarchy, but he had no choice in any of the major life-choices anyone on earth might have.

However, while Mon-El says their marriages are arranged, there are a number of things that imply that there is some wiggle room on this notion.

MON-EL: I've come to challenge you, Mxyzptlk.

MXYZPTLK: A Daxamite duel? I never had one of those before. For Kara's hand?

MON-EL: Yes.

MXYZPTLK: To the death?

MON-EL: Yes.

MXYZPTLK: I accept.

MON-EL: Good.

-- Episode 02x13 Mr. & Mrs. Mxyzptlk

Daxamite duels for someone’s hand are known my Mxy, which suggests that not everyone on Daxam had such strict arrange marriages. It’s likely something that those in the Royal Court had, but those outside of royalty didn’t have to deal with. It’s likely that a lot of his personal choices (who to marry, how to behave) were dictated entirely by his position.

He also says that his parents “weren’t exactly role models” (02x04 Survivors) and his father “wasn’t a good man” (02x14 Homecoming). He specifically mentions that he disagreed with certain things happening on Daxam, too.

JO: Slaving is a big business on Maaldoria.

MON-EL: Wait, this is Maaldoria?

KARA: You know where we are?

MON-EL: The locals call it Slavers' Moon. The royal family on Daxam used to buy their slaves here.

KARA: I forgot they had slavery on Daxam.

MON-EL: There were a lot of things there I didn't agree with.

-- Episode 02x09 Supergirl Lives

So while Mon-El hasn’t come out and said it directly, it’s been heavily implied that he was very unhappy on Daxam, despite whatever power a planetary prince might wield.

In fact, when he does comment on things on Daxam, he says very little in terms of who he was or how he lived. The sole exception was a backhanded comment he made after an argument with Kara:

“Things were a lot easier on Daxam, when I objectified women and didn't care about anyone.”

-- Mon-El in episode 02x13 Mr. & Mrs. Mxyzptlk

I’m guessing he didn’t care about anyone because caring for people was dangerous - it gave people leverage over him. I have to guess because we know precious little about his life on Daxam.

We have further evidence that Mon-El tends to drown his sorrows when he faces off against something overwhelming when he sees what Parasite has done to Kara and J’onn.

ALEX: Thirsty?

MON-EL: Not particularly. I've just found that drinking is the fastest way to get drunk, so...

ALEX: This city could really use a hero right about now.

MON-EL: Fighting rampaging creatures isn't on my resume.

ALEX: Oh, that's right... but beating people up for money is though, right?

MON-EL: Hey, here's an idea. Why don't you go believe in somebody else, Alex? Thanks.

ALEX: I don't believe in you, Mon-El. I suspect you're a coward, and that you would run at the first sign of danger... My sister, she's the one who believes in you. That's why she's so upset with you all the time. She thinks you have potential. To make a difference, like she does. To be hero.

MON-EL: I don't know how.

ALEX: You can start by standing up. Like the rest of us.

-- Episode 02x06 Changing

Mon-El eventually ends up working at the Alien Bar (02x09 Supergirl Lives), a place where he supposedly spends most of his time (02x07 The Darkest Place), after the Medusa virus is unleashed there. He spends a lot of time drinking and socializing, but it’s less about him being a frat boy and more about him struggling. He covers his sorrow with glibness and comedy. He drinks his pain away. He’d rather drink himself under the table than face off against Parasite.

He runs and hides when he’s overwhelmed. That doesn’t make him a bad person or a “frat boy,” it means he’s in pain and trying to cope.

PART TWO: HE DOESN’T LISTEN One of the “annoying” issues with Mon-El is that he frequently doesn’t listen to those around him, especially Kara. While this is true, he has been learning from his mistakes. For example, when he accidentally harmed two humans in a bar:

MON-EL: It's not Winn's fault. Hey, I... I tricked him...

KARA: Winn will be fine. And those guys you hurt will recover. But you shouldn't have been out there.

MON-EL: Hank told me I needed to stay here because it wasn't safe. But he didn't mean for me. He meant it wasn't safe for humans. From me.

KARA: After I first got to Earth, I went to my junior prom. And Scott Klein asked me to dance. I stepped on his foot and I broke three of his toes. It's just gonna take some time to get used to having these abilities and... And living in the world.

-- Episode 02x04 Survivors

Mon-El immediately takes responsibility for his actions and does his best to protect Winn from any fall out. He hadn’t realized that other people were the ones in danger - he thought he was the only one in danger. Once he recognized this, he says, “I promise that I will do as I'm told from now on” (02x04 Survivors).

During their unintended jaunt into Maaldoria, Mon-El constantly suggests that they save themselves, yet he follows Kara’s lead, down to walking into the lion’s den and surrendering to capture when he could’ve continued to hid with Jo (02x09 Supergirl Lives).

When facing Faux-Livewires for the first time, he “leaves his post” to help Kara fight them off, leading to a cop and Guardian being injured (02x10 We Can Be Heroes). However, at the end of this episode, when Supergirl instructs him and Guardian to take down the Faux-Livewires while she saves the original, he doesn’t question her or leave his post (02x10 We Can Be Heroes). This suggests he can and does listen to Kara - and, more importantly, that he learns from him mistakes.

Of course, in 02x13 Mr. & Mrs. Mxyzptlk, he doesn’t react well to Mxy’s sudden appearance. He withholds what little he knows about fifth dimensional beings, suggests that they kill Mxy, and challenges him to a duel. Given that we didn’t see much of him in 02x11 The Martian Chronicles or in 02x12 Luthors, the audience can easily conclude that Mon-El has not, in fact, learned from his mistakes with Faux-Livewires in 02x10 We Can Be Heroes.

However, when it comes to Mxy, Mon-El is more aware of how dangerous the imp is. He also has to deal with a cultural norm established on Daxam - that is, that fighting a duel for someone’s hand is an acceptable norm.

While Mon-El is repeating his mistakes/not listening to Kara, Kara is likewise not listening to him. Last time it was far more “Mon-El is wrong and should’ve listened to Kara,” but this time, both of them are wrong. This is something Kara admits, just not to Mon-El:

J’ONN: Where is Mxyzptlk now?

KARA: I don't know. He snapped away. I thought he was just after me, but he almost killed those guys. He's a lot more dangerous than I thought.

J’ONN: Agreed.

-- Mon-El in episode  02x13 Mr. & Mrs. Mxyzptlk

Mon-El had already said that imps were “dangerous, very dangerous” and that Daxam had a “a zero tolerance policy,” even though they “knew how to party.” J’onn described their abilities - down to moving an entire mountain range - and Kara doesn’t seem to worry about it.

Mon-El tries, twice, to get Kara to take Mxy as a serious threat. Both times she says she’ll handle it and shuts him down with little indication that she has heard Mon-El’s warnings. Yes, it was stupid of Mon-El to go off and try to handle Mxy on his own terms, but part of this was his reaction to Kara’s dismissing his warnings. He should’ve gone to J’onn with his concerns; instead, he runs off and essentially loses the DEO’s only weapon against fifth dimensional beings in the fray.

However, he does apologize for what he’s done and admits to his own jealousy.

Furthermore, he follows Kara’s lead on the bomb situation despite his suspicions of Jeremiah, joining her and Alex on the mission to recover “the bomb,” which he does not believe exists (02x14 Homecoming). He’s right there with them, backing them up, even though he thinks they should be wary of Jeremiah.  This shows that his lessons from faux-Livewire and Mxy have both left a lasting impression. He’s new to the superhero thing, so it’s important to listen to those with more experience. Even when he thinks he knows better--and even when (as it turns out) he’s right.

So, no, he doesn’t always “listen,” but he has learned from those mistakes and has shown recently that he can - and will - listen to others despite his own perceptions/concerns.

PART THREE: HE’S ABUSIVE I’m not following this logic. Every time that Kara has rejected Mon-El (which, BTW is A LOT), he has always respectfully walked away from the situation. Consider the following:

Admitting he protected her in faux-Livewire attack because he has feelings for her (02x10 We Can Be Heroes)

When Kara tells him she would never be with him because “It's... It's the way you are,” he tells her he’s going over there and leaves the very, very uncomfortable situation (02x11 The Martian Chronicles)

He supports her judgement of Lena after her rejection, even though he has already given up on changing her mind (02x12 Luthors).

When he can’t persuade Kara not to marry Mxy and he discovers that she also won’t be his (superhero) partner anymore, he leaves once she insists he does so by opening the door (02x13 Mr. & Mrs. Mxyzptlk).

When Kara asks him not to leave yet, he says that he understand that she thinks they’re not a good match and he respects it -- thus, he is prepared to leave the apartment and no longer poke at this painful subject (02x13 Mr. & Mrs. Mxyzptlk).

It would be so easy for anyone to lose their temper in these situations and say something ugly, but instead he verbally accepts what she’s said and does his best to leave on as friendly of terms as he can.

So why do people read him as abusive? He has only made a choice few comments to Kara that are admittedly quite mean:

KARA: You are so selfish.

MON-EL: Okay.

(Mon-El attempts to leave but turns back when Kara speaks)

KARA: I don't know what else I should have expected from a...

MON-EL: From what? From a Daxamite? KARA: I didn't say that. MON-EL: Yeah, but you were going to, Kara. Okay, I may have your powers but I don't have this... This innate desire to go leaping into trouble. But that doesn't make me a bad person, all right? KARA: It kind of does. MON-EL: No, it doesn't. You're no saint, Kara Zor-El! KARA: Excuse me? MON-EL: You fly around, rescuing people, like you're just pure of heart. But that is crap. Because you love that attention. You love people loving you. You are not selfless. KARA: And you are no hero. I thought you could be, but I was wrong.

-- Episode 02x06 Changing, emphasis mine

Of the things he says to her, this is the worst. Namely, she’s not a saint. She loves the attention of being a superhero.

You know, as far as insults go, I’ve heard better. Add that to the fact that she has insulted his (deceased) planet/race quite a lot, and I’d say he’s given her a ridiculous amount of respect, given her attitude towards Daxam. Heck, even when he remarks about Krypton, the worst he says is “self-righteous” (in regards to the glyph on her chest - 02x03 Welcome to Earth) and a “planet of snobs” in jest (02x04 Survivors).

Yes, he does argue with Kara. He argues with her the entire time on Maaldoria, saying they should go back. Yet he willingly goes into the lion’s den despite his reservations, follows her plan, and even submits to capture (02x09 Supergirl Lives). He also argues with her on how she handles Mxy as well as how she apparently gives Mxy a free pass on his behavior, yet she acts like Mon-El is to blame because he didn’t tell her about getting the trickster to say his name backwards is key to making him leave (02x13 Mr. & Mrs. Mxyzptlk).

Arguing with someone isn’t the same thing as abuse, and the arguments between Kara and Mon-El aren’t abusive at all. They disagree. They squabble. With respect.

So, no, not abusive, either.

Like Blaine? Consider taking him in our Hunter Giveaway Event! We will be waiving applications para samples, personalities and histories requirements for all canon hunters. Just send in the first and last name of the hunter(s) you would like to the main.

→ His Personality Blaine has a unique personality. As the head of the Chicago Colt family, Blaine lets off an intimidating air of dominance and control. He is extremely loyal to his family. He is highly intelligent, logical, clever, and a brilliant strategist; he can anticipate and preempt enemy plans. While he can be very intimidating, dangerous, and brutal, he is also a strangely charismatic man. Blaine can be very casual and calm when speaking to an ally but he has a temper that can frighten just about anybody; he is known for being a violent, sadistic, and murderous sociopath. Blaine is not one to make jokes or goof around. He is always true to himself and is a very honest and dependable man; it is not really in his nature to lie, even if his honesty is brutal. Blaine often shows little empathy and remorse, especially towards those who are supernaturals. He takes being a hunter seriously.

Blaine is typically ruthless, emotionless, and aggressive when he is hunting. Unlike many other hunters throughout the world, Blaine does not underestimate his enemies, he knows full well how dangerous and advanced supernaturals are. Hunting is a task which he approaches enthusiastically, making him the most merciless of the Colt family. Blaine is willing to kill children, women and elderly supernaturals. He can snap the necks of infants without thinking of his own children or torture a mated pair without comparing it to his wife and sympathizing. Blaine is known for his unorthodox methods for gaining information; most will likely trigger even the nastiest of souls. Despite these traits, Blaine is very likable and well-disposed when not on the hunt, and he values the safety of his family and innocent civilians above all else, even his own life. Blaine has a soft spot for children and teens in his family; more so his own. He is exceptionally good with them, very sympathetic and able to talk to them with ease. He is always willing to attend school or aftercare games and tournaments when he is not away on a hunt, volunteering to top off fluids in their vehicles before a long trip or simply leading them an ear to talk to and occasionally giving his input.

Blaine has extensive knowledge of who is who in Chicago and remains stern with his family to keep on terms with rival hunters and supernaturals in the surrounding area. Blaine leads the Colt far more liberally than his father had done. Blaine is very tolerant and farsighted, having no problems with people of other colors or sexual orientation as long as it is not rubbed in his face. His marriage with Imani Anderson, a part of a predominantly African American Hunter Family, has opened doors for his once alienated and hated family within the hunter community. Blaine knows of the name their family has built up for themselves, however, the connection with the Anderson family has also opened a gateway to the local human shifters. Blaine is wondering if their family should also adopt some of the Anderson ways.

→ His Personal Facts

Occupation: Head of Colt Family - Chicago

Scars: Multiple on Knuckles and Hands

Tattoos: A Basquiat Crown on Wrist (The 3 Colt Kings - Colin, Blaine & Bryce)

Two Likes: Restorations and Hunting

Two Dislikes: Dentists and Disorder

Two Fears: Allergic Reactions and Unfaithfulness

Three Positive Traits: Assertive, Disciplined, Diligent

Three Negative Traits: Over Protective, Aggressive, Controlling

→ His Connections Parent Names:

Bryce Colt (Father): Bryce did his best taking care of two boys after their mom was killed. Blaine always had a close relationship with his father. They are able to grab drinks together, go hunting together or simply watch the game on the big screen. Bryce taught Blaine that hunting is stressful enough without bringing it home to the family. Blaine shares in this philosophy with his wife and kids.

Regina Colt (Mother): Regina was killed during a hunt when Blaine was still young. He does not remember much about her but misses her very much.

Brittney Colt (Step-Mother): Brittney and Blaine started off on the wrong foot and it was never fixed. She came in trying to replace and erase his mom.

Sibling Names:

Colin Colt (Little Brother): The Colt brothers are quite formidable separately but they are a force to be reckoned with together. They shared a brotherly bond that Blaine thought could never be broken but lately the brothers have been at odds.

Elle Colt (Little Sister): Blaine was happy when he found out he was getting a sister. No matter how much she cried nor her spitting up on him as a baby, Blaine loved her. Elle running out on her engagement with the Stone Family has caused a lot of problems for Blaine. He says he wishes she would have just taken one for the team but he cares enough about his little sister not to be too harsh with her.

Alice Colt (Half-Sister): Blaine is closest with Alice out of all his half siblings. She used to follow him around as a kid and it shows. Alice is a perfect blend of their father and himself. Blaine tends to be harder on Alice because she has potential but they are two peas in a pot behind closed doors.

Casper Colt (Half-Brother): Blaine has a low tolerance when it comes to Casper. He reminds Blaine too much of Brittney. Blaine believes Casper will get someone killed if he becomes a hunter and his arrogant attitude has no place in the field.

Amy Colt (Half-Sister): Amy has always been closer to Elle. Blaine wanted to hurt Amy when she was young but their father pulled him aside and had the importance of family talk with him. Blaine was blaming Amy for the death of his mother and Amy’s mom, Brittney, not only replacing her but giving their dad another baby. Blaine quickly got over his hatred, ashamed of the way he acted.

Children Names:

Bryson Colt (Son): Bryson is showing a lot of promise. At the age of 6, Bryson can recite random species traits better than the ‘Baby Shark’ song. Bryson reminds Blaine of his relationship with his dad. Bryson is Blaine’s little helper.

Wesson Colt (Son): Wesson a hellion at the simple age of 4 and a half. Blaine swears Wesson is more Anderson than Colt and naming him after a gun was a horrible idea. Wesson keeps Blaine on his toes and Blaine knows Wesson is going to be one hell of a hunter when he is older and properly trained.

Orion Colt (Son): Akins twin brother. Blaine and Imani were trying one more time for a girl but were surprised to find out they were having twin boys. Blaine is grateful for his son and they brighten up his day. Orion has just turned 2 years old.

Romantic Connections:

Imani Colt nee Anderson (Wife): Imani was Blaine’s first real romantic connection. It was easier for him to sleep around instead of dating seriously until the day he agreed to do a joint hunt with the Anderson Hunter Family. Imani was not at all what he expected and she dominated their hunt; Blaine started to actively pursue her afterwards. They dated for a long period before deciding to get married.

Platonic Connections:

Hailey Colt (Cousin): Blaine is at a loss for what to do with Hailey. He knows being assigned at Lilly’s is not a desirable permanent position, especially with her skills, but there isn’t much for her to do for the family. He’s asked Elle to see about having her train with Amy, or possibly as a hacker.

Iris Colt (Cousin): Iris was the perfect solution when James Stone reached out to form an alliance again. He is grateful she is going along with it, and that she has made a good impression on the Stones.

Megan Colt (Cousin): Megan is closer to Blaine age than Iris and Hailey. Their relationship is strong and Blaine sees her as another sister. As Blaine took on more responsibilities, their relationship did slow down, Megan started hanging out more with Amy and Elle but Blaine still considers her a close friend.

D.W Colt (Sister-In-Law): Blaine is starting to doubt D.W. after Imani, Amy, and Alice all brought their concerns to him. They rushed her vetting process because she was the first person that Colin had fallen for in a long time. He doesn’t want to offend Colin, or damage their relationship anymore, but all of Colin’s defenses for her are becoming thinner as the months drag on. He is considering having someone less connected to the Chicago family investigate.

Ebony Anderson (Sister-In-Law): Blaine like Ebony. Ebony encouraged Imani to start dating Blaine and has always been supportive of their relationship.

Grant Anderson (Father-In-Law): Blaine’s marriage to Imani was not arranged. He was surprised when Grant seemed to accept him as his new son-in-law. They often attend basketball games together or attend car or gun shows together.

Trevon Anderson (Friend): Trevon is Imani’s cousin and seems to have the same views as Blaine’s family insteads of his own, the Andersons.

Thea Stone (Friend): Blaine knew Thea before she married into the Colt family. She could have done better and they joke about it all the times

Alexus Anderson (Hunter Ally): Blaine has known Alexus for most of his life.  

Churchill Darling (Reluctant Ally): Blaine works alongside the human shifters second in command when his family needs information or the law cannot touch certain supernaturals; including when clan leaders refuse to serve justice.

Arthur Milligan (Acquaintance): Blaine met D.W friend on a few occasions. They have not really talked and Blaine does not remember much about him.

Lillian Pickford (Acquaintance): Blaine met D.W friend on a few occasions. They have not really talked and Blaine does not remember much about her.

Hostile Connections:

James Stone (Hate): Blaine has never liked James Stone. They have always bumped heads. Blaine had even tried to partner up with James on a hunt when they were both junior hunters and James nearly got them both killed. He has tried not to hold a grudge against the Stone family that his ancestors once had but James had made it nearly impossible. Blaine ignores him as much as he can now.

Eric Lasiter (Dislike): Eric believes Imani screwed him out of a deal. Blaine has wanted to set him straight for a while but Imani swears she will handle it and Blaine has backed off. His dislike for the warlock however has not lessened.

Paul Stone (Unsure): Paul was chosen to forge an alliance with the Stone Hunter Family. He was the only available and suitable Stone male for Iris. Blaine knows that they have hit it off but Paul has yet made it a point to get to know their side of the family while Iris has been sharing pleasantries with the Stones.

Shelton Mills (Unknown): Blaine is aware of the rat shifters in Chicago. He is also aware that they give hunters a wide berth compared to the rats activity reported around other supernaturals. It has taken his family years to get him the name of the lead rat in charge of watching over his family and hunters in general. Blaine is unsure what his next move is with this information besides calling out the name next time he sees a rat watching him from across the street.

Dan Prior (Unsure): Everyone knows the story of Dan Prior. The human that said no and was changed anyways as punishment. Blaine’s father tried to work Dan cases with the Stone Family multiple times and had gotten nowhere. Blaine was 8 years old when it happened and still to this day, he has kept an eye on Dan.

Blaine Colt → Jensen Ackles  → Hunter

→ Basic Information

Age: 38

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Straight

Birthday: April 21st

Zodiac Sign: Taurus

Religion: Irreligion

→ His Personality Blaine has a unique personality. As the head of the Chicago Colt family, Blaine lets off an intimidating air of dominance and control. He is extremely loyal to his family. He is highly intelligent, logical, clever, and a brilliant strategist; he can anticipate and preempt enemy plans. While he can be very intimidating, dangerous, and brutal, he is also a strangely charismatic man. Blaine can be very casual and calm when speaking to an ally but he has a temper that can frighten just about anybody; he is known for being a violent, sadistic, and murderous sociopath. Blaine is not one to make jokes or goof around. He is always true to himself and is a very honest and dependable man; it is not really in his nature to lie, even if his honesty is brutal. Blaine often shows little empathy and remorse, especially towards those who are supernaturals. He takes being a hunter seriously.

Blaine is typically ruthless, emotionless, and aggressive when he is hunting. Unlike many other hunters throughout the world, Blaine does not underestimate his enemies, he knows full well how dangerous and advanced supernaturals are. Hunting is a task which he approaches enthusiastically, making him the most merciless of the Colt family. Blaine is willing to kill children, women and elderly supernaturals. He can snap the necks of infants without thinking of his own children or torture a mated pair without comparing it to his wife and sympathizing. Blaine is known for his unorthodox methods for gaining information; most will likely trigger even the nastiest of souls. Despite these traits, Blaine is very likable and well-disposed when not on the hunt, and he values the safety of his family and innocent civilians above all else, even his own life. Blaine has a soft spot for children and teens in his family; more so his own. He is exceptionally good with them, very sympathetic and able to talk to them with ease. He is always willing to attend school or aftercare games and tournaments when he is not away on a hunt, volunteering to top off fluids in their vehicles before a long trip or simply leading them an ear to talk to and occasionally giving his input.

Blaine has extensive knowledge of who is who in Chicago and remains stern with his family to keep on terms with rival hunters and supernaturals in the surrounding area. Blaine leads the Colt far more liberally than his father had done. Blaine is very tolerant and farsighted, having no problems with people of other colors or sexual orientation as long as it is not rubbed in his face. His marriage with Imani Anderson, a part of a predominantly African American Hunter Family, has opened doors for his once alienated and hated family within the hunter community. Blaine knows of the name their family has built up for themselves, however, the connection with the Anderson family has also opened a gateway to the local human shifters. Blaine is wondering if their family should also adopt some of the Anderson ways.
