Basics

Name: Teshin

Gender: Male

Age: 23

Occupation: Taxidermist and Necromancer
-Even as a young kid Teshin would be interested in anything dead or dying
from small birds to digging up pet graves. He was drawn to the scent of
decaying flesh or old bones. His mother would often scold him for being dead birds or
mice into the house and made him throw them away and wash up
immediately. As he grew older he gained an increasing interest in collecting
bones and pelts of the carcasses of the animals he found, this turned him
towards taxidermy. As Teshin was looking throw many of his mothers books
he had stumbled upon ancient spell books. Not thinking of much of them he
started to flip through their old pages reading parts of healing
and casting spells, curses, and raising of the dead spells. He had kept
most of these books when his mother had died leaving him and his father alone.
He turned to darker magic as his father became distant and abusive to Teshin
because of his mothers death forcing Teshin to leave his aging father.
As he left he only tore some of the pages out of the books to study, one being
the page of summoning the dead.-

Relationships
Family:
-Mother: deceased, died of heart failure when Teshin was 15-
-Father: deceased, became depressed and abusive when Teshin's mother died, was left to live alone when Teshin was 17 and passed several days later unknown cause-

Pets: -Teshin had many small animals to keep him company, but none to call his own pet. Teshin's mother would never let him keep any animals he brought home and released them fearing that he would be cruel to them and kill them in his excitement of dead things-
Familiar: - As Teshin studied spells he soon learned how to summon a familiar. A snake, a large ball python of five feet with a faint purple tint to it and. It moves freely as water in the air around Teshin as he works. At first Teshin was unsure about this familiar as it's ghostly appearance made him unsettled, soon he became calmer and learned to trust the familiar who now is Teshin's only family and friend. He never named them as he felt they did not need a name to be commanded by.-

Items:
Skull: - When Tesshin had killed a crow trying his newfound powers, the crow had placed a curse upon its skeleton as it passed. With little remorse Tesshin had made the skull of the bird into a necklace, soon after he began to hear voices and see ghosts. He became terrified of them and had tried to throw the skull away and sickness and splitting headaches immediately followed. Not being able to handle the pain he had put the skull around his neck once more and decided not to take it off again and to live with the voices and learn from the ghosts.
Feathers: - Feathers are a matching set with the skull. They are from the wings of the first animal he ever killed with his death powers, a crow. He often uses one or the other as a quill for writing magic notes or sketching items that he needs to collect for potions.-

Omg this reminds me.of social repose the YouTuber

[wucaian]

Username:
xxxxxwucaian
Name:
xxxxxNevermore
Nickname:
xxxxxNev
Gender:
xxxxxDMaB Genderfluid-male and agender
Pronouns:
xxxxx"My pronouns are he/him and they/them. He/him is fine most of the
xxxxxtime, but sometimes I prefer gender neutral pronouns. I'm always
xxxxxokay being referred to as they/them."
Personality:
xxxxxNevermore is a quiet guy. He doesn’t warm up to new people easily. It takes a long time before he’ll consider someone a
xxxxxfriend instead of an acquaintance. Because of this he doesn’t seek out in person social interaction himself, social
xxxxxmedia’s a different story. He likes spending time with his loved ones, but events, like school functions, where he’s
xxxxxsupposed to socialize with strangers and meet people? Yeah, he’d rather sit at home. Karolina and Karlie, his two best
xxxxxfriends, are usually the ones to drag him to such places. He doesn’t mind it so much when he’s with them. And he’s
xxxxxslowly starting to see that places with other people around aren’t so bad. Nevermore likes social media a lot. Tumblr
xxxxxand vine are his life. His tumblr, kittens-and-grave-dirt, is a weird combination of memes, Harry Potter, anime, water
xxxxxcolors, and graveyard aesthetics. Most of his vines are just him doing ridiculous things.
How does he use his powers?
xxxxxNevermore likes to use his shadow powers to keep others away from him. If people harass him he uses his powers to
xxxxxscare them so they’ll leave him alone. His powers are more bark than bite. The nightmarish images he creates are
xxxxxfrightening but, being made of smoke, they can’t actually harm people. The only other ability of his shadow powers is
xxxxxthe ability to hide. He can cloak himself completely in darkness. When dusk falls, if he doesn’t want to be found he
xxxxxwon’t be. He finds it particularly handy for avoiding contact with people.
His Necklace:
xxxxxNevermore doesn’t go anywhere without his necklace. Nev has always loved birds. They bring joy to his life and he feels
xxxxxa special connection to them. When he was twelve he had a bad day in school and went to the cemetery to get some
xxxxxpeace and quiet. While he was there, he found a bird skeleton. He took the bones to a taxidermist and had the skull
xxxxxmade into a necklace. He wears it because reminds him of that day. It reminds him that bad days can turn around.

Story:

Nevermore didn’t know what he was doing here. His two best friends had just shown up at his door and dragged him to the car. He swore he was going to kill them for this. Really this time.

Karolina and Karlie had brought him to the local Pride Parade. On the way here Karlie had painted a sun on his cheek in rainbow colors. She’d asked if he wanted her to paint the genderfluid flag, or any other flag, as well, but he’d decided not to. He didn’t want to get into all that with random people he just met.

He should have been happy to be here. And he was happy. He was happy they got to celebrate who they were out in the open like this. But he just wasn’t a party person. That was more Kara’s thing.

The music from the floats was loud and everyone was out in full, colorful force. There was every color combination imaginable, and even spots of grey and black amidst the riotous mosaic. The girl next to him was weighed down with shiny mardi gras style beads, a demisexual flag painted on her cheek. The little kids behind them wore tye dye shirts and cute heart shaped glasses. They excitedly waved rainbow flags as they jumped up and down, keeping an eye out for candy. There were also three men in front of him and his friends wearing nothing but shorts and huge rainbow feathered wings. Between that and the vibrant floats, Nevermore couldn’t say the view was unappealing, but he still didn’t think this was his scene.

“Come on, Nev!” Kara shouted to him above the music and cheering of the crowd, fingers circling his wrist.

“I’m good, Kara,” he said, dragging his feet as she pulled him closer.

“Come on, live a little. You know you’ll like it,” they laughed.

“Yeah, Nev! Don’t be a butt.” Karlie bumped her hip against his.

Grumbling, with a put upon sigh, he started swaying to the music next to them. Really he wasn’t as miserable as he acted. He loved spending time with his friends. Kara grabbed his paw, swinging their arms as they danced. He lifted their paws to send Kara into a twirl.

He shouted alongside his friends as a float sporting the transgender flag rolled past. Karlie was jumping up and down as she cheered, and Nev swore even the people on the other side of the street could pick out her voice above the crowd’s. She jumped and gave one final spin, smile wide enough to split her face. Watching her, Nev was struck by how amazing his friend was all over again; he didn’t think he’d met anyone more optimistic and energetic in his life. When she landed Nevermore threw his arm around her shoulders and dragged her into a hug. Karolina wrapped their arm around Karlie’s waist from her other side. Without speaking they both leaned in and left noisy kisses on their friend’s cheeks. Karlie blushed and giggled between them.

They continued to watch the parade and Nev joined in with their dancing. He got really into it when a float started playing “Cool for the Summer.” He didn’t go clubbing as much as Kara did, but he still had some moves.

The end of the parade eventually came. The last part of the parade was a group of people carrying a huge rainbow flag. It was as wide as the street and, Nev swore, a block long.

With a final cheer the onlookers began to leave. As they joined the crush of people, Karlie insisted Nev give her a piggy back ride through the crowds. With a snort he let her hop on his back. The three of them waded through the sea of people towards the park. Their plan had been to hang out there for the rest of the afternoon until Karolina’s favorite club Rainbow Lights opened at six. The crowd thinned a little as they entered the park, but they weren’t the only ones to have this idea. Kara picked a path and led them, still weaving between groups of people, on a search for ice cream. They hung out at this park a lot and knew the ice cream truck liked to set up their truck on the West corner of the park.

Nev finally put Karlie down when they found Tammi’s ice cream truck. Karlie got a cone of strawberry and he and Kara got mint chocolate chip. The three of them asked to have their cones basically drown in rainbow sprinkles.

They left the truck, happily licking their treats, and found a place in the grass to sit. The sun was quickly melting Nevermore’s ice cream so he took a huge bite out of the top.

“Ooh, how can you do that!” Karlie said, shaking herself like she was brushing off something unpleasant.

“What? It was melting.”

“But you have to savor it!” Karolina said.

“And it’s cold,” Karlie chimed in.

Nevermore took another huge bite of his ice cream. He smirked at Kara and wiggled his eyebrows.

“Oh god. Nev! Don’t do that!” Karlie squealed.

“Heathen.”

Nev laughed and stuck his tongue out at them. After he finished his ice cream he laid back in the grass and closed his eyes. The sun was warm on his face and there was just a slight breeze. Perfect weather. He let Karolina and Karlie’s voices wash over him as they talked about all the floats the groups that had been in the parade. This was nice.

Around four they got up and found a cafe for dinner. Nevermore couldn’t decide for the longest time what sandwich to get: did he go with the one with turkey and apple slices or the one with avocado? In the end he made Karlie pick for him. It was while they were eating their food that Nev felt their gender shift. Their gender changed somewhat frequently, most often day to day but sometimes it shifted after only a few hours. They’d only gone silent a few moments while Karlie and Karolina had continued the conversation.

“Nev, help me out here. The ace float was the best one this year,” Karlie said.

“Obviously it was the transgender pride float. And can we use they/them pronouns for the rest of the night?”

“Sure.”

“Yep.”

“Thanks guys.”

His friends had always accepted him for who he was. They’d always supported him, which was better than he could say for some people when he’d told them he was genderfluid.

After dinner they walked through downtown until they got to Rainbow Lights.

Once they were in the club, Karolina grabbed their paws and wasted no time dragging them to the dance floor. Karlie and Karolina spun wildly beneath the flashing lights. Nev found themself dancing with them, their paws on Karlie’s hips one moment, facing off with Kara the next. The music was mostly electronic with a few pop songs thrown in. They didn’t normally like electronic music, but here, they found it was okay. They lost themself to the beat of the music for a while. There was just their paws on Kara’s hips as they danced, watching Karlie jumped and twist around them, and throwing their paws high beneath the flashing lights. Today had been a really good day. Nevermore had given their friends a hard time for dragging them out this morning, but it had turned into a great day. Any time spent with Nev’s friends was great. Karolina and Karlie were their best friends, they cared for Nev and always knew how to make them feel comfortable and have fun, and they loved them for that.
