*slides in*
Name: Atlas O'Hara
Age: 20
Gender: Cismale
Pronouns: He/Him/His
Sexuality: Bisexual
Species: Human
Appearance: Atlas has fluffy-looking, platinum blond hair that is natural, though he's given up on telling people that don't believe it is. He has deep, ambery-brown eyes as well. He stands at 5'11", which he tries to accentuate with his good posture. He has an athletic build with a little bit of muscle, and a fair skin tone. Atlas has a somewhat ovalish face shape with a smooth jawline, and he also has a dark birthmark, just behind his left ear that he uses concealer to try and cover up.
He usually wears semi-formal outfits, with clean button up shirts and black jeans, and they often look as though they are expensive.
Personality: Atlas is generally friendly to most people, though he's known to turn quickly on someone if he finds out that they're not a nice person. He's also rather secretive - no one really knows that much about him, despite him seeming to be quite open. Atlas finds it difficult to admit that he cares for someone, and tends to show it in more subtle ways that he thinks are secretive, even if they're so clearly not. Atlas is also rather dramatic, and will frequently over-exaggerate or do dramatic gestures, such as pressing the back of his hand against his forehead, or collapsing over a chair. In addition to his dramatics, he can be rather moody and demanding. If he's close to you, then he'll show himself to be fiercely protective and loyal.
Bio: Atlas was adopted into the O'Hara family when he was about 9 months old. He was placed in foster care, along with a twin that he was separated from at this time, from birth, when his birth parents were forced to give the twins up because his birth mother fell incredibly ill, and his birth father left, unable to cope (though they were both named before this, fortunately). He only knows that he has a twin, but nothing more than that. He doesn't know if his mother is alive, and he's not sure if he wants to find his birth parents or his twin.
He was raised well, the O'Hara's being a somewhat wealthy family that absolutely adored him. He didn't quite grow up in Nightington - the family only moved there when Atlas was 16 - but he has decided to stay. Atlas likes spending time drawing, as well as reading astronomy books. He loves stargazing on clear nights, and talking about the constellations with anyone that'll listen. He wants to be an astrophysicist, which he is studying for.
Name: Xanthe Chicane
Age: Appears to be 22.
Gender: Nonbinary
Pronouns: They/Them/Their
Sexuality: Androsexual
Species: 'Mothman'
Appearance: In their human form, Xanthe has short, black hair in a protective style that is tied back, with an undercut, and their eyes are very dark brown - almost black in poor lighting. They are perhaps unnervingly tall, standing at 6'6", and holds a more rigid posture. Xanthe has a fairly muscular build as well, and keeps themselves well worked out, and has a medium-dark skin tone. They have a broader, yet defined jawline, and no particular markings or scars. They usually wear rather casual outfits in this form, with a 'signature' black leather jacket with the symbol of a large moth outline on the back of it.
In their 'true form', Xanthe takes on the shape of a huge, moth-like humanoid with long antennae, big dark red eyes and large wings that easily span about 10 feet when outstretched. They also have human-like arm and leg appendages, the 'feet' being clawed. They are covered in dark brown 'fur', with the fur around where their neck would be longer, fluffier seeming, and a lighter shade of brown.
Personality: Xanthe is a somewhat laid back and confident person. Very few things seem to faze them, and they prefer to do their own thing. They try to be unpredictable, but this often turns into something that one would very much expect them to do... especially if that one happens to know Xanthe quite well. They might casually flirt with anyone, but will make it pretty clear that it's just for fun - they don't want to unintentionally string someone along - and will also back off sharpishly if the other person is uncomfortable. They are a very curious being as well, and like to investigate, explore and ask questions, sometimes getting to the point of being irritating, but they do mean well... most of the time.
Bio: Xanthe grew up in West Virginia, though they're not entirely sure how they came to be. A curse and amnesia? They don't know. What they do know is that they lived with a small family of powerful spellcasters, who were often working on some sort of spell, ritual or potion or another. It intrigued them, but were rather disappointed to find that they couldn't cast spells themselves... no, they had a different sort of ability. One that would let them turn into a giant, moth-like humanoid creature... and eventually lead to a group of four people seeing them one night. Despite this, Xanthe was taught a lot about medical knowledge and such by the family, and found themselves to quite the proficiency with it... but only while in human form. Since then, they have found themselves at a mysterious house in the woods in Nightington, where they were taken in and has resided since.
Lights particularly intrigue Xanthe, as do humans - but they can be a little rough when it comes to dealing with both. They like to chase cars for fun, and accidentally causes radio interference in their true form.
