JERALD THE TROLLHUNTERFAST FACTS
|
PERSONALITY
Abrasive and quick to verbally insult, Jerald isn't exactly the best person to hang out with. However, he's honest, to a fault, making him say nearly anything on his mind without filter. Often he fills his sentences with crude remarks, and doesn't understand the social boundaries of polite conversation. He has a honed ability to read people's body language and if they seem remotely hostile, he will attack first. If they seem peacefaring or unassuming, then he will approach them with caution. Kindness only breeds confusion in his mind. HISTORY
His mother was a pill popping housewife who OD'd when he was six. Since then his father became an angry violent drunk, as well as a terrible parent figure. During his youth he was mostly left on his own or with whoever his father was 'dating' at the time, which tended to mean people who weren't friendly to him. He took care of the house, mainly because if he didn't, his father's mood got worse. He doesn't enjoy it, but he got good at it. When he was older, he didn't have the mindset to study, skipped most of his classes, and failed out of school. Finally, he ran away from his father's home and made it to Arcadia. He's been in and out of jobs of every sort since then, but lately no one seems interested in helping a 20 year old, good for nothing. Then he found the amulet, and things... did change. RELATIONSHIPS
Peter He knew Peter long before he became the Trollhunter. As a homeless kid, many of the areas he frequented were either public areas such as parks or libraries. Espeically on colder days, the Arcadia Public Library was one of the best places to be. Unfortunately, many of the librarians were hostile to him, considering his rude manners and his lack of hygiene. However, one person did let him stay, or rather didn't kick him out. His name was Peter, and he knew this because he stole Peter's library card to get access to the computers, considering he never got a card himself. Then he found the amulet, got roped into all the crazy fighting and he was doing some stress relief when Peter approached him, attracted by the amulet he left on the desk. It was not difficult to deflect Peter, but he didn't understand the reason why Peter was so interested in the amulet. From then on, he kept a closer eye on the amulet by keeping it in his shoe. Then Peter offered him a place to stay, and Jerald accepted, in exchange for sexual favors. Mostly because Peter has always been an object of his thoughts. Finally he gets a shower and a hair cut, which makes him almost handsome to look at. He's filled out some muscles thanks to the training, which he's been concentrating on, since he has nothing else to do with his time. |
PETER THE CHANGELING
FAST FACTS
|
PERSONALITY
On the surface Peter comes across as distant and critical, an ultimate perfectionist who takes pride in himself and his work. He habitually holds people at a distance — believing he has to, lest his human life invade his espionage work too much. Though he's curt on the surface, Peter is more soft-hearted than he seems and has a weakness for his human companions. He has a passion for learning, though would much rather stay in and read a book than experience the world. An anxious homebody and a coward, Peter would never dream against the current, and prides himself as hardworking and reliable. HISTORY
Peter was born within the Darklands: a pocket dimension inhabited by changelings and other Impure. Changelings move between their world and Earth through what are now called Fetchs: changeling technology that harnesses dimensional portals. Since Gunmar was banished to the Darklands, changelings have since been dominated and now used as spies, since only they can fit through the Fetchs. Like changelings before him, Peter was sent through a Fetch to abduct a human familiar and mature on Earth. Peter grew up as the only child in the suburbs whose close relationship with his "parents" was partially fueled by his guilt for stealing their true son. Throughout his life Peter acted as an informant for the Gumm-Gumms within the Darklands and communicated closely with the other changelings. He also grew attached to his human masquerade, and cultivated a life for himself as a librarian while simultaneously acting as Walt Strickler's artifact researcher. However, he never imagined he'd see the Trollhunter's amulet in his human life instead of his troll one. RELATIONSHIPS

ZIHAO THE OX
FAST FACTS
|
PERSONALITY
Responsible and hardworking, it's amazing how he ever had a social life, and truth is, it was mostly fake. He spent his time studying ancient supernatural languages and dialects, learning how to run a business, and practicing piano. He has a tough time accepting defeat or failure and pursues his goals like a tireless bull. His stamina is his greatest strength, thanks to his ox fae blood. Unlike humans or other fairy types, he has a surplus of energy and can go long spans of time without sleep. HISTORY
Ever since the Great Pixie Aggression, Fairies have been living on the downlow. Zihao's family has been in the magical artifact trade business for many centuries now and are adept at their trade. Similar to their human counterparts, smuggling magical artifacts requires more skill and creativity than simply lugging on parcel into another country. He's official business in America for now is to scout out new faces for the upcoming photoshoot his company is planning. Of course, this photoshoot happens to revolve around the supernatural tastes and will actually highlight many magical artifacts under the noses of humans, either disguised as jewelry or props. Finding Jerald was the easy part, keeping his background a secret is the more difficult task. RELATIONSHIPS
FENG He has a good relationship with his brother, because no one else in his family has ever given Feng a time of day. In comparison to his success, Feng has difficulty integrating into society or even conforming to their parents' expectations. Zihao spent most of his childhood defending Feng's actions and coddling him, despite the 5 year difference. Many of those years, Feng had been his little sister, not brother, but now he accepts his brother's wishes and calls him by masculine pronouns. He's still a little sour that Feng followed him to the USA, but understands why Feng would want to and doesn't complain too much. |
JAMIE (FENG) THE DRAGON
FAST FACTS
|
PERSONALITY
Jamie is hot-headed and angry, untrusting of those around him and quick to be snappish and confrontational. His rough exterior hides his sensitivity and his reluctance to open up to others fearing any sort of judgment at his inner self and feelings. His temperament is stormy and teachers would describe him as purposefully rebellious, often acting out for attention. He is violent and will engage others over the smallest slight, and has difficulty calming once the fire has started. Jamie doesn't know how to cope with insecurity and vulnerability and will typically lash out instead. He is unrivaled when it comes to shouting matches and never surrenders in any sort of fight; to be wrong or corrected is the utmost humiliation, and Jamie would rather die for his opinions than alter them. HISTORY
Jamie's always viewed life as him against the world. Born Zhang Liu, he grew up in the shadow of his family's magical artifact company, always kept at arm's distance from the business as his parents believed their daughter had no position in it. Despite the rare power of the dragon within his veins, Jamie's instruction focused most on calm and regulation — two arts he never was quite able to master. The Pixie Aggression sent the Fairies into hiding, which Jamie had always resented. To him it seemed like no one liked every part of who he wanted to be and kept trying to reshape him into what they wanted, so unlike his older brother Zihao, who appeared to excel at whatever was laid before him and was their father's pride. Jamie's relationship with his family reached a tumultuous peak when he refused to be their daughter any longer. Zihao's departure to the United States was the ideal opportunity for Jamie to leave the constraining past behind him, and embark on a new legacy to prove he deserved a role in the family trade and had the blood of the dragon.

SEBASTIAN THE DEMIHUMAN
FAST FACTS
|
PERSONALITY
Friendliness packed up into a 200 lb man, with a heart of gold. He's there for anyone in need from the old lady who needs to take her 20 cats to the vet, to the human race needing saved. His abuela was a firecracker and once told him that if he didn't do something for the world, the world would eat him alive. He took that to mean that he should put all his energy into being the 'good force'. He loves taking care of things and people, making people happy and generally being a wholesome individual. He might even bake some cookies for no reason. HISTORY
His grandpapi was a Sasquatch who lived in the mountains of Montana, and came to California to see the world, his abuela came to California from Puerto Rico for the same reason. His father, half-Sasquatch, half fire married a wonderful woman and they had a kid after many complications. His name was Sebastian. He was a large boy in comparison to all his friends and didn't have to worry about bullies. Yet he was always the kid defending the strange, awkward, or unpopular kids in his school. Classically the gentle giant, he found friends in the small and weak. He enjoyed a simple and normal life till he catches a dog shifting into a human in the backyard next to his. He decides its his fate to save this werewolf child and house him, so that's what he does and his family is essentially forced to adopt a Mudi Werewolf Child into their household. He's been inseparable from Adrian since. RELATIONSHIPS
ADRIAN He saw Adrian change from a Mudi sheepdog into a human one night in the summer before his freshman year in highschool. Seeing this as fate and a sign from the heavens, he befriended Adrian easily and convinced his parents to adopt the child into their home. They were all familiar with the secretive life a supernatural had to lead, so the transition of having a werewolf boy in the house was easy. What was difficult was the extra mouth to feed. Since the two of them had enormous appetites as supernaturals going through puberty, Sebastian took an extra job while in highschool to pay for extra meals. At first it was at a local garden hauling fertilizer, but the owners discovered his green thumb and put him to work, sending him for house calls. Adrian usually sneaked to help him, but mostly in his dog form as a companion. They're pretty inseparable. |
ADRIAN THE WEREWOLF
FAST FACTS
|
PERSONALITY
Adrian is spirited and eager to please, though is also spineless and emotionally sensitive. At his best he's happy-go-lucky, curious, and eager to embark upon adventures with someone by his side. He grows nervous when he believes there's someone upset with him, and he'd much prefer to agree with everyone else than start a fight. Adrian is a coward when it comes to danger and shouldn't be expected to be brave or stick up for his friends. He's a follower rather than a leader, a hearty supporter who will happily tell people what they want to hear to see a smile on their face. As friendly as he is, he becomes shy when telling people about his feelings or things that are important to him. HISTORY
Adrian's early memories are of a family now long gone, a pack that roamed the wilderness outskirts of the city and lived primarily in their wolf form. They picked the wrong side of history to ally themselves with and were massacred as a result of the paranormal tensions within the town. Adrian, only ten, was the sole survivor, left clueless and alone. He took to wandering the city as a shaggy black dog, learning that he could masquerade as a stray and be fed by people. A naive child, he was caught shifting between his wolf and human form in the bushes of a backyard by Sebastian, who instead of being terrified took him into his home and made him a part of his family. Adrian began attending school and grew inseparable from his new pack, typically seen trotting after Sebastian as a black Mudi dog. RELATIONSHIPS

ALISTAIR THE POLTERGEIST
FAST FACTS
|
PERSONALITY
Not a man of action or thought. He prefers the 'row, row, row your boat' sort of lifestyle. Don't stick your hands in pies you can't finish. That's his policy. He's easy to get along with, prefers diffusing situations rather than feeding into the fire. It makes him someone who's often befriended, but rarely trusted. Good thing too, he'd drop a bad connection in a heart beat. HISTORY
He wasn't always an immortal. That happened when he accidentally hit jackpot and took the body of Merlin as his host. He comes from a line of 'damned souls' who are banned from Death's Door. Be it a curse or a blessing, but he decided not to waste the opportunity, so he backtracked Merlin's journey to his body, and took it while no one was looking. His ancestors weren't secretive about their little curse either, and taught their children exactly how to survive in a situation like this. Drink the blood of other humans to keep the soul attached to the body. Simple. Except its a lot of blood and that could mean a lot of deaths. So he enlists himself in wars. To keep close to all the death. One or two extra a day would go unnoticed, and when the war was done, he'd drop his identity and keep moving on to the next country. After WWII, he stole the identity of an American soldier and returned on the boats. Since then he's been bumming around the USA. At the moment, he works as a volunteer at Red Cross, and draws blood. RELATIONSHIPS
MERLIN He doesn't really care that Merlin's haunting his existence. It makes sense to him. He did just steal the guy's body and if he really wanted the body, he would have just cut off all access to blood, but he doesn't so there's some other reason why he can't just be evicted. Either way, it's nice to have company, especially since Merlin is a comrade of times. He can't talk about the vast history he has with anyone else, so in a way they're very good friends. Very good friends he never really tells anything important to. |
MERLIN THE WIZARD
FAST FACTS
|
PERSONALITY
Feels like he's God's gift to the world, probably because he is. Since he's one of the most powerful and gifted wizards in history, he has a lot of ego. But his ego tends to get him in trouble, like getting his body stolen by a poltergeist. Other than his overconfidence, he's thoughtful and a hardcore planner. He's the sort who would be a great chess player if he thought that was important for some reason. Unfortunately, he dislikes frivolities. HISTORY
He was at some point a child, of course, because he'd been born like any other human, but his life has always been bizarre. Bizarre in the way your life would be if you were born into a time period when science wasn't even common knowledge, and magic was both awed and scorned. Half clandestine, and half a revolutionist, he led King Arthur into the limelight, until his chances of a free life was obliterated by Arthur's Death. In hopes of bringing Arthur back, he traveled to Death's Door, but could not go through. When he returned, his body had already been stolen. Since then, he's been looking for it, and even helped the trolls with their little war, in order to gain access to the crystal that could open portals for him. Unfortunately, his body never left the earth, and was simply wandering around by its new host, Alistair. RELATIONSHIPS
ALISTAIR Number one on his hitlist, except he can't kill him like the usual way, since he went through a lot of trouble to make his body perfectly frozen in time. He needs to extract Alistair's soul from it, and then harmonize with his body again. Reason why he wants his body back so bad, because unlike usual human bodies, it can actually take the sheer amount of magical abuse it takes to cast true spells. Looking for another body is like a needle in the haysack. So when he finds Alistair in 1972, getting high out of his mind in California, he makes sure to keep a very, very close eye on Alistair. In other words, he haunts Alistair because even if normal humans can't see him, Alistair can, and he can hear him. |
