Name: Willoughby Clay

Nickname: Will

Age and Birthday: Looks in early 30s

Height: 5ft9

Pronouns and gender:  Uses he/him pronouns and their equivalents. Man. But it’s a long story and best boiled down with ‘his gender is performative but whose isn’t?’ and then left alone. 

What they are: A kind of wild fae - debatably. 

Style and Appearance: Lot of corduroy and knits. Brings a sort of ‘former hippie who became an english professor in a wes anderson film’ vibe to things when out in public. Thick dark hair, typically styled up and back, and at least a few days of stubble growth. Has light hazel eyes. 

Piercings and tattoos: None. 

Scars and distinguishing marks: None. 

Sexuality: Closest human equivalent would be pan or bi. Not got a lot of experience, but is up for trying most things, and is also very open about his lack of experience in all things romantic or sexual. 

FC: X

Abilities: Travel between worlds with total ease using the in betweens. Shadows, rivers, bridges, thresholds. Anywhere he wants at dawn and dusk. Physically alter shape and appearance to that of a human. Tough skin, a bit of a resistance to some physical harm but nothing huge. Wicked good sense of smell for all kinds of things, but especially good at finding magic. 

Weaknesses: Iron. Perfumes fuck him up, too strong, too much of a chemical feel. Creature brain says you hide when things are scary, so he is prone to spooking and then destroying things to disappear. Seems like a weakness.

Other bits and pieces:

As said, the human look is an ability. One he will keep up under almost all circumstances. He knows people who are aware of non-humanoid fae do not take them seriously in their real appearance, and he’s invested a lot into being ‘Willoughby’. It is a physical form.

Comes from the inbetweens. A sort of refuse pocket between realms, where things that get lost might end up, and which exists more strongly within the transitional parts of realms. Sometimes you lose something and it ends up there on its own. Findable by its original owners, or by something else, making it gone forever to the person who lost it. It’s sort of a junkyard. 

Sells things he finds in the in between, both in fairy markets and human ones. Stall is always called Lost and Found. A mix of genuinely interesting stuff, and total crap. Sort of a dodgy antique dealer, because sometimes things need some help getting lost before he claims them. 

Considers himself a gentleman thief. 

Only part of his inhuman appearance that's seen occasionally are the claws, four of them on each hand, two long, two short. For digging and climbing. They can do some harm, but aren’t meant for it. Potentially people might feel a roughness to his tongue, too, which is definitely a normal human length at all times, don’t look any closer, take my word for it. 

Has a true name in a fairy sense. A name that has power over him. But that’s a lets talk ooc if you want your muse to know it thing, cause he isn’t someone whose real name would be a known entity. Not important enough to be recorded anywhere. 

Temper can show when things don’t go how he wants and expects. Prone to tantrums and outbursts. Petty, vindictive, hissy fit throwing.

Wants to be taken seriously. Sticks to his idea of what is proper and respectable regardless, even though it was informed by literature, and almost exclusively things written before the 1930s. 

Actually isn't completely ignorant to a lot of human things, he lives in a world of lost crap after all, he's seen more and read more than what he's latched onto as 'Will'. There are still major gaps in his knowledge though, putting people together through trash isn't the best method of getting a full understanding.

Long form backstory and bio (Least necessary read, you can skip these bits):

Willoughby is just a little creature. Born into a junk pile of lost and unwanted belongings. Not considered a fae by most of faerie, but humans who don’t know better would see him as one. Initially raised with a family, and then isolated over the years. It’s a lonely existence just scuffling around an endless field of trash searching for stuff to eat. Incidentally, part of why they’re so good at snuffling up magic is because spirits that get lost are a staple part of their diet. Usually it’s parts of spirits, full human or fae don’t usually wind up with them. 

At some point in the endless repetitive cycle of searching, they stumbled upon something quite unique. A house. An entire home. A large country house at that. Something that could’ve been used as a filming location for a bbc miniseries based on a Jane Austen novel. Maybe it’s not landed gentry, managed by the national trust levels of big, but it was clearly a home with money and worth. Left to moulder and rot for a few decades, totally abandoned and untouched. Furniture, belongings, everything. 

Exploring the house brought them to a library full of crumbling and poorly cared for books, hallways of portraits and little bits and pieces to uncover and learn about the people who’d lived there. All subtly covered in the smell of fae magic. Whatever got the house lost, it involved some kind of pissed off fairy. 

So they created a character, for fun at first, built from the stories they’d read. Name picked from the pages to fit the home. He became ‘him’, not really having any connection or relationship to human concepts of gender before, but ‘him’ seemed the most fun when it came to stomping around an empty home and playing pretend. Willoughby wasn’t the only voice, he was just the one that lasted, that became more than just play. 

He thinks he can duel, swords of guns, that he's a deft hand with a bow and arrow, and an accomplished piano-forte player. Reality might say otherwise. Only having himself to please and impress. Also likes croquet, cross stitch, writing by hand, pretending he knows what horses are and how to ride them,

The appearance of 'Willoughby' wasn't taken from the portraits, they didn't look like the humans and fae he saw scavenging in the inbetween, so he took the softness, delicate features, and incredibly pale skin, to be an art style. It's never occurred to him that his human build and appearance is incongruous with the clothes, the language, the character.

Realizing their opportunity, their position, Will decided to change up how they were living and existing. Why scrounge around endlessly for survival when he could build something better for himself. Sell what he found. It wasn’t unheard of, he saw and ran away from numerous scavengers from other realms looking for goods to sell or use. So he decided to do that. You can find him at antiques fairs, flea markets, car boot sales, bring and buys, anything and everything where he can set up a little stand and sell the crap he’s found. 

Overtime, he realized it’d be easier to find stuff worth selling if he could help it to get lost. Using the ability to move through in betweens - shadows and thresholds in particular - to start finding things to make lost, only to ‘find’ them later back home. And sometimes flat out steal stuff, cause it’s easier. 

Profoundly, deeply, lonely. Very isolated. Wants to gain connection, but is always acting and playing a part, so finds it difficult because people don’t react how he expects. For the sake of RP, if we’re rolling with pre-established relationships, we can bypass getting through that outer layer, and have a more genuine connection where Will can just be them. Not Willoughby Clay, human. 

Even alone. Will stays as a human. Stays as Willoughby. Sure, if completely alone he might dress a bit less reserved, but he will always look human. It is a choice, and a part of him. He started using his hobby/entertainment of a human appearance for work. People don't take inhuman fae seriously in his line of work, even others who also aren't humanoid by nature. Fae hounds, redcaps, cat sidhe, he'd been laughed at by more than one when trying to make deals as himself. Even if they can tell, and not all can, what kind of creature he is, it made a difference to be perceived as humanoid. It got respect.

Name: Tasha

'True' name: Canibores

Age and Birthday: Ageless, time passes differently where he's from, but looks and mostly acts, like someone in their early 20s.

Height: 5ft10

Pronouns and gender:  Human gender has no hold here. So even saying nonbinary of any flavor wouldn't be accurate. Tasha just is. You can use any pronouns, mix and match, or stick to specific ones. There's no wrong answer here, and Tasha wouldn't care or correct anything. You won't be misgendering them, whatever you decide.

What they are: Demon

Style and Appearance: Shoulder length, fluffy, dark brown hair with a natural wave to it. Sinewy build, tall, not scrawny but lean, wiry. Outfits made of stolen things that caught his attention. Lot of open button-ups tucked into skin tight pants. Mesh tops, chains and shiny stuff for days. Only constant is a big, heavy, pair of steel toe capped work boots.

Piercings and tattoos: Can change as frequently as anything else. Depends on what he wants to do, but almost always has at least ears pierced.

Scars and distinguishing marks: None. 

Sexuality: Undefined. Much like gender, human labels don't apply. Tasha likes sex. Tasha likes all people.

FC: X

Abilities: Infernal fast travel - the ability to 'step' through a veil of infernal energy and arrive somewhere he's been before, or can see clearly. Can gift visions, as well as feelings of passion, euphoria, inspiration, etc. to people who summon him. If staying topside, and therefore needing to sleep, Tasha themself will experience hard to decipher prophetic dreams. Outside of hell, they heal quicker than a human, a few days is enough to recover from most, but in hell, it's instant.

Weaknesses: Their true name makes them controllable in the right hands. Magic can stop them healing. Will take physical damage from anything, it just takes a lot to actually matter or be felt. They have negative focus and a such a shit memory it belongs here.

Other bits and pieces:

Feel free to summon. Write starters where he's been called up, respond to opens where they are. Anything like that. Their true name is known enough that it doesn't need restriction.

Is, essentially, a demonic jester. Allowed to be a little shit to his king because the king finds it funny. They carry that energy everywhere and have an equal lack of respect for all authority. So don't take it personally when they refuse to be reverent or respectful to your all mighty characters. You can try to scare it out of him, it probably wont work.

His realm of hell is one of change, passion, love and pleasure. Passion and pleasure are also not just the horny kind. It’s art. An element of spiritual fulfillment found through creation. The domain is full of music, poetry, performance of all kinds, as well as intricate frescos and beautifully painted canvas. The passion he can inspire in others can be this kind. It’s why he’s obsessed with all expressions of human creativity.

It also means the horny kind. BUT. Whilst Tasha has that element to them, that's not all there is, and he can be written without that being the forefront, so please don't worry about writing with him if you aren't comfortable with nsfw themes or threads.

Slut for poetry. Prose of all kinds really, but real poetry of all kinds fan. Reads everything out loud. Poetry feels best to say.

Not a creative bone in this demon. Not a one. Can't make shit. Loves what other people can make though.

Doesn't tend to lie or hide his feelings or thoughts. An open book. They wont always have the language to describe what they're feeling though, and that's one of the rare times he can be quiet.

Loud. Obnoxious. Playful. Doesn't sit still. Has a rhythm to how he walks and talks, and a constant need to move and act.

They don't need to eat, sleep, drink, do anything to sustain a form whilst in hell. They are made of infernal energy, it naturally exists and recovers. It's different if they spend an extended period of time on earth.

Long form backstory and bio:

The most recent demon in his realm. Even if that means he's still a few hundred years old as far as humans would be concerned. Time doesn't move in hell. Doesn't pass or feel like anything. The day and night cycle in his realm isn't natural, it's decided by the king on a whim. Tasha will sit down to read for a bit, get through a few books, and not even realize it's been weeks topside.

With no job, and no real expectations, Tasha is largely left to their own devices. Other demons have work, they have tasks and schedules and jobs and contribute to the running and maintenance around the domain. Not Tasha. Their job is to be a little rascal. Government sponsored troll bitch. He rolls up to his king, talks shit, gets some laughs, some attention, and then gets told to go have fun and skips away like a little princess.

So yeah. Some kind of demonic amalgam of a jester, princess, and youngest son of a mafia don who will eventually have to face the grim reality of the expectations awaiting them. Also the little mermaid. He wants to be where the people are.

Pre to RP, Tasha doesn't spend long periods of time on earth, going up frequently but only briefly. Doing whatever entertains them at that time, then returning. Still seeing hell as home because it's familiar and feels safe.

AUs and other shit:

Feel free to put this guy in some situations. He will always be a demon, but he can be thrown into fantasy worlds, historic fiction, arranged marriages, scifi settings, fucking film noir detective stories. Whatever. He's adaptable.

He's literally been a mafia kid more than once.

This is literally Tasha's vibe. It works in all worlds.

I feel like we as a fandom don’t talk enough about how much girls Tim picks up, like this man pulls

I see this and I raise you, Tim flirting with the reporters and just rizzing them up accidently

Hes like so smooth that the reporter —be it a forty year old man or a woman in her twenties— is just like in love with him after interviews and It’s not even something he tries to do, he just talks like that

It’s a meme, he’s like internet famous and it’s because he got a famously super calm and collected reporter guy twirling his hair (very off putting because he’s bald) and giggling at everything he says

"In 2006, my father underwent heart surgery and then, with permanent treatment, he started to regain some of his routine. He continued to work to support our family. In 2021, tests showed that an artificial joint should be installed. The operation was successful. After that, he continued with chronic treatment, but he did not give up and continued to work so he could continue to support our family. After that, the war came. He suffered from horrible pain in his heart and his joints. He endured a year of lack of food and medicine until his condition deteriorated. He is now in the hospital, but he needs treatment that is not found in northern Gaza and the cost of treatment is very high. Please help us treat my father and continue to stay alive." - @heba-baker
