“Thank you,” Simon starts. He holds the door open to the antique shop for Min to follow behind him. “For coming with me, I mean,” In the middle of the week, the antique shop doesn’t appear busy, with just the owner and another patron or two milling around the thick layers of dust and cobwebs. “Specifically, I’m on the hunt for a large fish tank. But really, I’ll take a look at anything that appears to be of decent quality or high value,” He says. “Have you ever been antiquing before?” He realizes Min is quite literally older than many - if not all - of the pieces present in the shop, but that doesn’t mean she suddenly knows what sort of thing to look for when purchasing something that will continue to last.

–––––– Han ; ( @emittingauras & @thencxtgvns ): THE PRISON RESCUE

if it were up to him, Simon wouldn’t have ever stayed more than a single day in that godforsaken prison. if he could have prevented it, he’d told himself that he’d have taken Simon’s place. he told himself over and over, time and time again that Simon’s fate was truly unfair. he’d played back the moments in his head, that day. the day:  Simon hardly touched the guy. Borris La Torre had a gun waved in his face because Han waved it in front of him. Borris La Torre nearly peed his pants because Han was the one to pull him across that counter and lead him to the back door. Simon hadn’t kidnapped Borris La Torre, and he’d have said that in court if his friends had let him be that stupid™. Simon drove the getaway van and that was it. he was told by many that there wouldn’t be any good coming from both of the members of the Syndicate being locked up. he was promised that Simon would be out sooner than expected, and as always, he trusted the wrong people to deliver justice.  and then life got in the way. he saw the world, with his beautiful wife. he watched even more beauty unfold as they brought twins into the world, and it was easy to lose sight of what had once been important--once those little twerps grabbed a hold of his heart it was all over. yes, Han Jae Song had grown soft at the sight of the wonderful family he’d created. but there was still a big chunk of his heart missing, and that part of his heart was shivering behind those cold bars of that cellblock. as he took slow step after slow step with that firearm of his at eye level, he could hear the feint sounds of the distraction-- Min that wife of his enacting the glory of the Clean Team™ as he was sent to find the cell and spring Simon Muhn, finally. and while he knew that timing was of the essence he couldn’t help but to arrive on spot a couple of minutes early. a mask obviously obscuring his own face, tossed one through the cell of his friend.

“You’ll want to put that on, Gwisin. Time to go home.”

When it comes to the safety of his children, Simon would burn bridges and move mountains. All too well did he know what it was like growing up without someone caring about you, unwanted, forgotten. While he’d never planned on having children of his own, he found himself overly protective of the two that, quite literally, miraculously appeared on his doorstep. Both he and Han had noticed the increase of her odd behaviors lately – the way she picked at her food, the dark bags under her eyes that were heavier than any six-year-old ever needed to carry…Simon knew he needed to look into what – or who – had begun causing her problems.

So. Naturally. Simon sought out a mercenary. If there was a teacher or another adult at or near her school that was harming her…Simon would see to it that they no longer would come near her, or anyone else, ever again.

Seeing Min in his dining room isn’t what he would call a pleasant surprise. Having a killer standing where his children eat and do their homework and where he prepares his dinner isn’t exactly what he considers a pleasant afternoon. Simon looks at her briefly, then rests his suitcase on the kitchen table. “So?” He starts. “Is that little problem of mine all taken care of?”

HEADCANONS

Although his main job is working at the local university studying and archiving various magical artifacts that they’ve obtained, he also gets regular calls regarding pesky spirits that plague homes and businesses. And, partnered with Gilbert Gladstone, he also semi-regularly cons people out of money, jewels, and other priceless artifacts.

Simon suffers from a rather peculiar curse, caused by a Spymaster’s stopwatch. Like nearly everyone, Simon is capable of dying…with the surprise twist of being able to regenerate after a time and return back to life. This is the result of tampering with the stopwatch - which would allow the user to temporarily stave off any harm done to their body. While meddling with the magic, however, the spell reflected back onto Simon and, upon his death, his body now “resets” to a previous state.

During his days in Port Alvarna, Simon and his partner, Han, lived together in an old lighthouse at the edge of the water. There was never much to do in terms of actually maintaining the lighthouse, although he did keep his eye on the lens and scheduling for various maintenance.

SPIRIT WARRIOR

House: Beltran Unique Gift: Mediumship From his childhood days, Simon has always been able to perceive the presence of ghosts near him, and the years he studied at House Beltran allowed for him to hone in on his ability better. He remains unable to turn off his ability to see ghosts - which so often plague his dreams - but in his waking hours, he can both summon and banish specific spirits, although spirits are capable of returning to their haunting grounds once Simon’s magic wears off. Because of his abilities, he is also more susceptible to possession, which he has difficulty preventing, and leaves Simon feeling cold and physically ill after. Magical Object: Spymaster’s StopWatch This stopwatch, once owned by a master spy, was previously used to temporarily preserve the user’s body to give themselves more time in case of emergencies. Once clicked, the user’s body would remain in a state of stasis for a single hour. Meaning that any afflictions and harm that came to their body wouldn’t take affect. However, at the end of the hour, any physical wound or harm that had come to their body would all take affect at once. Because of Simon’s tampering with the watch’s magic, it no longer works as originally intended; instead, the watch becomes more cracked and disfigured with each one of Simon’s deaths.

BIO

Simon’s father and stepmother were married for hundreds of years before his birth. And after such a long marriage…well…his father grew curious with the lives of mortals…and such, Simon was born. Well, his mother did not realize the effort it took to raise a child; and while as Simon grew older, he became more self-sufficient, she didn’t particularly enjoy being tied down to this tiny person. She attempted to drop him off with his father…only for his stepmother to, of course, grow angry that he’d ever been born at all.

Rather than stuck with a mother who believed he was too much work, or with a father who hadn’t wanted a child, Simon wound up stuck with his older sister, Min.

Their first few years together were far from easy, with neither entirely sure what to make of the other. And yet, they managed to make it work. Despite their large age gap as siblings, they had more similarities than differences.

Still, he grew up knowing that neither parent really wanted him. No one had, except for his sister.

And while he appreciated all she’d done for him, at some point, he still had to go his own way. At eighteen he applied to college and set out on his own. Perhaps it was his youthful ambition that believed he could do anything. Which…unfortunately lead Simon to a string of poor decisions, from tinkering with an old artifact ( which lead him to be cursed ), to entering a contract with a dreamshade ( who he occasionally regrets meeting ), to a messy relationship with a girl he never should have gotten involved with.

In an attempt to create his own space away from the mess he’d made, Simon found himself falling into the arms of his school rival, Han Jae Song. Once competitors for top in class, Simon found that Han wanted him, along with all the mess-ups he’d made along the way.

Some twenty years later, they’ve built a life together - and even brought in two children who had no family for the pair to take care of. He never thought he’d have a place for himself…and yet, he’d made one all on his own.

But life is not all sunflowers and daisies, as Simon is so well acquainted with. Han, bitten and turned into something no longer human. His young niece turned into seafoam before his very eyes. And his adoptive son, Jasper, plagued with his own magical condition…Simon knows it’s not possible to save everyone…but if he can at least right some of his own wrongs…maybe he’ll be able to keep some of his loved ones close.

BIOGRAPHY

Born to a mother more interested in her business than her family and a father who felt the same, Simon knew from a young age that he was a mistake. His sister, Maeve, just a few years older than him, was there for the appearance of having a happy, tightly-knit family only. Simon was the accident who was never supposed to be born.

He’d always been a solemn, quiet, and different child…and he, evidently, had been born with the gift of magic - a remnant from a since forgotten grandparent whose existence Simon had never heard of. At the prospect of freeing themselves from their unwanted child, the moment Simon was old enough to hone in on his newfound abilities, his parents happily shipped him away. His first week was full of frights and the belief that his skill would never match that of his elders. He wasn’t welcome back at home and couldn’t make his way with the magical houses…so what good was he?

Leaving was easier said than done, of course. And once Simon gave himself time to settle into his new environment he, slowly but surely, blossomed under House Beltran’s watchful guidance toward his abilities. Ghosts haunted his nightmares, but he learned they weren’t always malicious. Most just wanted for someone to listen to them for the first time in a long time. And Simon couldn’t help but be understanding.

As others his age finished their studies and began taking the proper steps to procuring a spirit warrior lisence…Simon had other interests in mind. Studying at a local university, he wanted to expand his studies beyond what he’d learned at the psychic house; there was so much more to magic than what he’d been taught about himself, of course, and certainly other forms of magic that had long since been forgotten from the world…Simon planned on studying them all.

But what he didn’t have was the money required to pursue the majority of his studies. Being young and dumb…he took it upon himself to enter a contract with a dreamshade with a reputation for thievery, much against the advice of his peers. His contract has lead him to being stuck in situations he never would’ve imagined himself in, but they at least always brought a decent chunk of change, and the occasional magical item for Simon to study in his free time.

And somewhere along the way, the impossible happened: Simon found himself with a family. Despite his irritating behavior, some small affections had grown towards Gilbert Gladstone after having worked with him for years. Then there was his roommate-turned-partner, Song Han Jae, and the twins they’d taken in together, Jasper and Johanna. His little life in Port Alvarna was far from perfect, but it was a home he’d made for himself, and one he’d never see himself leaving.

And then The Boundry came, and Simon witnessed his own sister turn to sea foam before his very eyes. It would’ve been impossible for him to take all of his belongings with him as Simon and the remainder of his small family fled to Selphia, but he grabbed all he could and hasn’t looked back since.
