#chara: aristotle sloane

[fairywilds]

Aristotle knew better than to let himself get distracted as he was usually focused and attentive, but a glint flickered from under the surface of the pond ahead. Maybe it was only the moonlight on the water, but curiosity got the better of him, drawing him closer to discern the source. Lost in the moment, searching for where it had been, he nearly missed the subtle sounds of footsteps approaching from behind. His instincts took over, poised defensively, only to relax upon recognizing the familiar face. "What the hell are you doing? If you were trying to be sneaky, I hope you know that you just almost got a face full of hellfire." He quipped with a raised eyebrow. ( @nctural )

Aristotle strolled along, clutching a digital camera in his hand, scrolling through a mishmash of photographs from his travels. They were tucked away on a random SD card he had stumbled upon while tidying up his loft. A furrow formed on his brow as the battery suddenly died, but he found some solace in the interruption, considering that a few of the emerging images were casting a shadow on his mood rather than lifting it. Regardless, he resolved to have them printed as keepsakes of his journey — call it sentimental or nostalgic. Pausing to process everything, he took a seat on the nearest bench, he let out a sigh, glancing over at the girl beside him as an afterthought. Pausing to observe her and her book for a moment, he eventually broke the silence, "...What are you reading about?" Aristotle inquired, his curiosity piqued momentarily. ( @mcnstercus )

Aristotle Sloane, affectionately known as Ari, was born in Atlanta, Georgia, alongside his younger sister, Kaela. Despite their similar mindsets, an eight-year gap hindered their bonding during childhood. Raised in a seemingly normal human family, they concealed their dragon identities, revealing their secret only to a select few trusted friends. The family's need for secrecy posed challenges, leading Aristotle to struggle in making friends. He often appeared aloof or preoccupied, perhaps unintentionally projecting an air of superiority or elitism. Aristotle often found himself navigating awkward social situations, unsure of how to relate to his peers. His struggle to connect stemmed partly from the need to conceal his true identity as a dragon, leading to a sense of isolation and detachment. His reserved nature and tendency to overthink interactions sometimes left him feeling out of place. Their family moved into their next chapter of life which coincided with the beginning of Kaela's high school years and, by that time, Aristotle had begun pursuing college at the age of twenty-two. Studying journalism, he delved into self-exploration, experimenting with his sexuality and embracing vibrant expressions like colorful hair, drug use, risky hook-ups, and many many tattoos. This abrupt and drastic transformation surprised his parents, who feared the influence of college experiences or unsavory peers. While Aristotle thrived, Kaela struggled, leading to her admission to a mental hospital. Feeling lost in how to support her, Aristotle retreated into himself, eventually finding solace in Northknot, a sanctuary for supernatural beings like him. There, he crossed paths with Cassie, a psychic, where he began embarking on a passionate yet tumultuous journey with her. Their relationship took them backpacking through Europe, marked by intense arguments. Aristotle, unaccustomed to deep emotions, grappled with the intensity of their bond. Their eventual breakup left him wandering Europe alone until Kaela's graduation, when she extended an invitation to Northknot. Returning cautiously, Aristotle resettled into his apartment, hoping to avoid encounters with Cassie as he navigated his another chapter in Northknot, where he shortly found employment as the head of photography at the local newspaper.

Aristotle approached the bench slowly, his eyes scanning the park as if unsure of what— or who— he was looking for. The world still felt a bit fuzzy, his steps not as sure as they usually were, thanks to the lingering effects of the concussion. When he spotted Kris sitting on the bench, he hesitated, trying to shake off the haze and focus. He offered a tentative smile as he drew closer. “Hello,” Aristotle greeted, his voice careful, almost testing the waters. He lowered himself onto the bench, the movement deliberate as his body was still sore. “How have you been holding up?” He glanced at Kris, keeping his tone neutral, leaving space for Kris to answer his question.

Aristotle settled beside Victoria. He let out a sigh, his eyes reflecting a hint of concern. "I've been having the most vivid dreams lately," he confessed, his voice soft but steady. "They're unlike anything I've ever experienced. Sometimes it still feels like I'm dreaming. Do you think it all means something, or am I just overthinking?" He questioned, wondering her opinion.

Aristotle was on the beach, in the night, collecting small flat stones as he waited for Aida to arrive. He couldn't help but feel a sense of both fascination and compassion toward Aida. Her quiet demeanor, once mysterious, had unraveled into an enigma of profound depth the more he got to know her and, despite her spectral existence, they exuded an uncanny ease in their interactions, making her unexpectedly easy to get along with which Aristotle deeply appreciated. After he gathered a few, he'd flick the stones out of his hand; skipping them across the surface of the water. "You almost startled me, if I hadn't known you were coming." He spoke to Aida, turning to her, after she arrived and held out a stone for her to take. ( @howmcnythings )

wanted connections

Malakai Westmore — OLDER BROTHER: brother who always looks out for him and kind of taught him everything he knows they are close and this was the brother Kai was closest to but when kai died they had a hard time reconnecting due to kais death and yet kai was still around as a ghost so things were different but they're still there for one another it just feels different and more distance between them now

OTHER SIBLINGS (BIOLOGICAL BROTHERS): (abuse tw, brainwashing tw) he comes from a lil culty family where they believed in some really weird shapeshifter shit and kinda fed it to their kids where animal shapeshifters are like the best species and it's a lot of elitist but also like... religious abuse, forced solitary confinement, ugly gross things !!! but i imagine it's all brothers and there's a weird hierarchy uGh it's gross and its the worst but the boys secretly looked out for each other until their dad got sick and died /: the mom was never the same and gave up all the beliefs and barely leaves her room bc she went into catatonic schizophrenia and now lives in a medical ward and they would visit her sometimes bc that's still their mom but they were essentially brainwashed to think weird things and have a lot of healing to do. all of their last names would be Westmore! first names are up to you but none can be older than the older brother connection above! ROMANTIC SHIP: can be any gender <33 and kai is up for any type of person so i think most charas would work.... maybe there could some type of forbidden love vibes to it idk we can go wild lol

Eitan Mars — SIBLINGS (ADOPTED OR FOSTER): big ass family with lots of kids and they all have cool unique names because the mars family is weird! like cheaper by the dozen type shit lol where parents got together when eitan was young so they grew up in a tall house with like five stories and constantly had people coming in and out and it was messy and wild and full of energy and fairy magic everywhere and filled with lots of love and support so! there would be a few kids from before the parents got together then a few kids after so the before kids (like eitan) would have the last name mars and the after kids (younger than eitan) would have a hyphenated last name with Mars and something that you decide or completely something you decide it's up to you EXES: someone that eitan has dated in the past but they have broken up and their dynamic and reason is up for plotting and the ex-partner can be any gender(: i just need more exes for this loser bc he would have dated ppl in the past haha

Sagramore Delacour — ROMANTIC SHIP: can be any gender <33 and sage is up for any type of person so i think most charas would work.... maybe friends first tho?? dare i say a lil bit of a slow burn if we want?? lol the partner could struggle with being hurt in the past paired with sage's want to give them a better life and is willing to shower them in love with affection and compliments it could be really cute
