the magic gang: character intros

after rambling incoherently about the magic gang for weeks, i finally decided to sit down and make an intro post for them! i wasn’t a big fan of how their picrews turned out, so you’re gonna get fake tweets instead!

they don’t belong to any particular WIP — they just live in a universe that is basically an amalgamation of some of @gaybigael's & my favourite fictional universes and attend a boarding school for magical creatures. and i like to write about their various shenanigans. :)

everything to do with them can be found under the tags magic gang, circle of hurt (an ongoing piece about them that will be posted on tumblr eventually), and their individual tags (linked below)

i don’t know if i should make a taglist for them (let me know if you want to be on one!) but i’ll tag a couple people who seemed interested in them under the cut!

ADREANNA BELL

(aka: Drea, Dre, and D, because her friends never actually call her by her given name. also countless 'little mermaid' nicknames, because they annoy her and Caelan finds that greatly amusing).

Species: Siren

Powers: Can shift into a more inhuman 'siren form' when submerged in water; hypnotic singing; and the deadly siren's kiss, which allows her to steal musical memories from people's minds.

Rapid-fire backstory description: Her siren mother abandoned her and her human father when she was a baby. Because of this, her father was extremely distant throughout her entire childhood and taught her to hide her powers at all times.

Rapid-fire personality description: Artistic, mysterious, distant, self-loathing but not in a dramatic way, thinks she doesn't have emotions (is consistently proven wrong). Likes sketching and photography (and obviously music).

LILLIAN CARSTAIRS

Species: Nephilim

Powers: The ability to use runes

Rapid-fire backstory description: Nothing special — she was born into a Nephilim family and her parents are divorced, but she's not angsty about it

Rapid-fire personality description: can and will cut you, not afraid of anything, brash, sharp-tongued, swears like a sailor, pretends not to love her friends, actually loves them very much

CAELAN QUINN

Species: Light elf

Powers: Can control light — he likes to turn invisible to scare people, and has a tendency to glow when he's excited

Rapid-fire backstory description: Was born in Norway and had a very privileged upbringing in California.

Rapid-fire personality description: Not afraid of anything, but in a dumb way; has about two brain cells on a good day; wants to make out with just about every person he ever sees; has never made a wise decision in his entire life; unfairly charming, friendly, and funny; easily the most popular member of the gang

SABINA CONNERS

Species: Nature sprite

Powers: Can control plant life (& can fly a little with her wings)

Rapid-fire backstory description: She grew up in a remote faerie village in rural Ireland, with zero human contact.

Rapid-fire personality description: The sweetheart of the group, giggly, bubbly, unfailingly kind, a little bit naive, fascinated by everything to do with humans

LEONARDO "LEO" ALMEIDA SOLANO

Species: Water sprite

Powers: Can control water (to an extent)

Rapid-fire backstory description: His biological (faerie) family abandoned him in the human world as a baby, and he was subsequently taken into a human family who raised him in Brazil.

Rapid-fire personality description: Levelheaded, easygoing, the group therapist/the one who keeps the others from going to jail or the hospital, possesses most of the group's communal brain cells (he usually shares them with Adreanna), eternally fed up with their shit but also will follow them to the ends of the earth

EMRYS ASHFALL

Species: Faerie

Powers: Glamouring

Rapid-fire backstory description: Grew up in Faerieland as a member of a prominent noble family.

Rapid-fire personality description: romantic, creative, sometimes talks like he's in a Shakespeare play, likes to write poetry, is basically a Disney prince come to life but with 50000x more respect for women, one of those guys who will start talking about how much he loves his girlfriend completely unprompted

AKINA O'CONNELL

Species: Witch

Powers: Telekinesis, and the ability to cast spells & brew potions

Rapid-fire backstory description: Her mother is a witch and her father is human; her parents divorced when she was little and she was raised by her dad.

Rapid-fire personality description: sweet, shy, indecisive, head in the clouds, always in some sort of romantic predicament

NIKOLAI "NIK" PETROV

Species: Human (Changeling)

Powers: None

Rapid-fire backstory description: He was born into a normal human family in Russia, but as a baby was stolen by faeries who adopted him as their own child & raised him in Faerieland.

Rapid-fire personality description: Moody, snappish, sharp-tongued, incredibly closed-off but also incredibly sensitive, doesn't trust easily, has a lot of emotional Turmoil™️ around the concept of magic and magical creatures
