Summer Court

Name: Natalia Slugger
Played By: Eve
Height: 4'10"
Build: She's actually really muscular, despite her stature.
Apparent Age: 20
Eye Color: Red with the whites turned black. Green in human form.
Hair: Red-orange and curly as all get-out. Usually in pigtails and held in place with a baseball cap.
Appearance: Natalia dresses in sports gear, usually baseball uniforms. She wears black lipstick, as well as black lines on her cheeks, just like baseball players wear. She carries a duffle bag with her books, notes, baseball bat, and a riot shield; no one knows how she fits it all into one bag. She's always moving, even when forced to sit down.
Supernatural Type?: When she speaks, it almost sounds like others are whispering her words in different voices. The light doesn't hit her quite right, like there's something you aren't meant to see. And sometimes, even when she isn't around, you hear her words whispering in your ear...
Public Knowledge: Natalia goes to school at the local community college, and sometimes volunteers with teaching the local kids baseball. She also has a habit of showing up at riots moments before they break out, and "just so happens" to be at more bar brawls than is normal.

Song: Cherry Bomb by The Runaways

Changeling Mein: Her skin goes completely white while her eyes reverse color, but that's not the creepy part. Those marks on her cheeks? They open up into additional mouths, each one with a different voice whispering orders or singing songs just off-key enough to make one's fists clench.

Name: Devon Clark
Played By: Eve
Height: 5'10"
Build: Muscular, like he got cast for Avengers recently.
Apparent Age: 33
Eye Color: Violet
Hair: Red-orange, short and spiky. Also has a thin moustache and goatee, same color.
Appearance: Devon always dresses professionally, and is never caught in anything less casual than button-up shirts and slacks--even if there's armor underneath. He has the swagger of an actor and the practiced smile of a politician, and it's hard to draw the line between how much is an act and how much of him is really the nice leader he pretends to be.
Supernatural Type?: The air around him is stifling hot, even in the dead of winter. There's something intimidating about him when he commands attention--it's like one must pay attention, or suffer furious consequences.
Public Knowledge: Devon seems to be running everywhere around town. He's a frequent face at City Hall, and most of the town is surprised that he hasn't run for office yet. When he isn't working on helping and improving the town, he seems busy cleaning up after the messes of others; when riots break out, he's the one that makes the speech to calm the crowd and direct their rages toward a less-destructive goal.

Song: Burning Bright by Shinedown

Changeling Mein: Feathers and flame alike sprout across Devon's skin, and his nails extend into sharp talons like a bird of prey. Wings of pure fire flare along with his temper.

Name: Farris O'Reiley
Played By: Eve
Height: 6'0"
Build: Broad and solid
Apparent Age: 28
Eye Color: Yellow (brown in human form)
Hair: Brown and curly, reaching just past his chin.
Appearance: Farris tends to dress like he's going to a poker game, though he has a habit of not wearing shoes. He's got a raucous laugh, and seems pretty easygoing, laughing even when in danger. Or running from someone he's just cheated or stolen a car from, which happens with alarming frequency.
Supernatural Type?: He's got a smile like a starving wolf, and the laugh of a crazed hyena. It tends to either scare folks or piss them off even more than they already are.
Public Knowledge: Farris is a bona-fide troublemaker, yet he always stays one step ahead of the cops, and to date hasn't actually been taken in for anything more than a misdemeanor. He's the younger brother of Marcel Hughes, and seems to be the errand boy for both Devon and Natalia. He has also "borrowed" more cars and motorcycles than anyone else in the town, an "honor" he holds with pride.

Song: Die Young by Ke$ha

Changeling Mein: He actually gets the black fur of a wolf along his limbs, along with the tail and ears of one. Unlike his brother, his form doesn't seem tailored for fighting, and instead for scrounging and running.

Name: Morning Glory Canton
Played By: Eve
Height: 5'0"
Build: Toned and muscular
Apparent Age: 32
Eye Color: Reddish-brown, the color of dried blood.
Hair: Blonde, usually cut chin-length and with little ribbons or hairclips in it.
Appearance: Morning Glory dresses in the cutest, girliest outfits she can find. She'll even wear heels to appear taller, yet seems able to fight capably in them. Says she's had practice.
Supernatural Type?: Not even a regular human can hit so hard or uproot a stop sign from the street to use as a weapon. Plus, she leaves blood stains on whatever she touches. Kinda' freaky.
Public Knowledge: Morning Glory is the ambulance driver for the local hospital, and is almost always in the company of her beloved wife (though they are not officially married yet), Nightshade. The town as a whole thinks her odd, but knows better than to say that to her face.

Song: Bad Reputation by Joan Jett

Changeling Mein: Oh, so she really is covered in blood stains everywhere, including a few wounds that just keep bleeding. That's good to know.

Name: Hobson Canton
Played By: Eve
Height: 7'3"
Build: Like a brick wall that magically grew limbs.
Apparent Age: 25
Eye Color: Gray
Hair: Long, straight, and blond. Often tied back into a ponytail.
Appearance: Tends to wear suits, and doesn't have much variety in his outfits--finding clothes in his size is a bit difficult, after all. His movements are rigid and controlled. Everything on his person is ruggedly cleaned and symmetrical, and if he's in one area too long, he tends to clean it until it's up to his standards. He has bandages up his arms, and the scars that spell out "Noli me Tangere" on his neck.
Supernatural Type?: There are strange rough patches on his skin, and he's far too tall and precise for a normal human. Or maybe he's just strange.
Public Knowledge: Hobson is the bouncer for the local bar, The Edge of Glory, as well as the janitor. He's often seen running errands around town for his sibling or Morning Glory and Nightshade (who call him their son, but that age difference is way too off--something's amiss.)

Song: Far From Home by Five Finger Death Punch.

Changeling Mein: Turns out, he has patches of sharp gray rocks all over his body, even on his face and fists. He also has a "Code of Contact" tattooed onto his chest.

Name: Cricket Machado
Played By: Eve
Height: 3'10"
Build: Light
Apparent Age: 9
Eye Color: Brown
Hair: Black, and usually cut short
Appearance: Cricket likes to dress in t-shirts, overalls, and galoshes, often with gloves while working. She does not speak nor make eye contact, but communicates through a series of clicking noises that only her father, Stromberg, and Bianca can interpret. She's always fiddling with something, and doesn't show much emotion.
Supernatural Type?: She reeks of oil, and when she makes noises like yawning or sneezing, it sounds like drills and chainsaws.
Public Knowledge: Cricket is seen as an idiot savant around town, able to build but "too stupid" to speak, play with other children, or attend school. Most of the townsfolk pity her for this, to which she reacts with disdain. She's sometimes seen helping out around the Red Baron auto shop.

Song: Scrapheap by Lapfox


Changeling Mein: Her eyes take on the sheen of an oil spill, and her body is covered in stains. Were her bones revealed, they would have a metallic sheen.

Name: Stromberg Machado
Played By: Eve
Height: 6'1"
Build: Muscular, particularly top-heavy
Apparent Age: 43
Eye Color: Gray
Hair: Black, short and balding. Also has a bushy black mustache.
Appearance: Stromberg is usually found in jeans and t-shirts covered in dust, soot, and oil, and is also fond of wearing his mining cap. He doesn't speak much, and when he does, it's muffled and heavily accented, occasionally dipping back into Spanish. His stare often speaks more than any words could.
Supernatural Type?: He seems more at home in dark caverns than out amongst the town, and when he stares at you, a fear crawls up of those hands wrapping around your neck and squeezing.
Public Knowledge: Folks know he's the father of Cricket, and that he works in the mines even though those mines have been closed for years. Many people disregard him as "just another migrant worker," yet also wonder why he would stay up in those mines in the first place, if not for money.

Song: 57821 by Janelle Monae ft. Deep Cotton

Changeling Mein: Dirt and pebbles shift across his skin, and his joints creak like rocks scraping against each other. He taps out strange notes on the walls, and somehow, they convey a message in their chaotic rhythm.

Name: Aimi Kurusaki
Played By: Eve
Height: 5'6"
Build: Curvacious and a bit soft, but still evidence of muscles.
Apparent Age: 19
Eye Color: Light brown, almost orange.
Hair: Brown and wavy, though she cuts it often.
Appearance: A budding fashionista, Aimi's style changes with every day. She does have a love for the color pink, though. She seems to dance through her movements, and is surprisingly fast when she puts her mind to it.
Supernatural Type?: Her skin is heated as if she's running a fever, and her shadow's too long for a normal human. You swear that sometimes, when she's upset, you see sparks literally flying from her hair, and her eyes glow with her rage.
Public Knowledge: Aimi recently transferred to and graduated from the local high school, and is both apprenticing at the tailor shop and working part-time at the Edge of Glory club. She also shows up at quite a few of the riots and bar brawls, and seems to be best friends with Natalia and Farris. Keeps asking around for her brother, Isamu, who no one has seen or heard of.

Song: Drumming Song by Florence and the Machine


Changeling Mein: Aimi's skin becomes like magma, black with fractures of lava showing through. Fire lines her body as her hair and eyes burst into flame, and wings of fire burst from her back. Her shadow grows long as she floats above the ground.

Name: Gaius Octavian, goes by "Tavi"
Played By: Amanda
Height: 6'1"
Build: Muscles toned from a shepherds life, then hardened by war
Apparent Age: 27
Eye Color: Dark eyes that speak of wounds not only of the flesh.
Hair: Black, it looks as if it would curl, if it were ever allowed to grow out. Often covered by his Roman centurion helmet.
Appearance: Tavi tends to be the kind of guy who assumes the best in people, always willing to offer a hand. When he's seen, he tends to be wearing Roman lorica segmentata, though no one’s quite sure where he found it. At his hips are two worn gladii. He carries himself with the air of a warrior, but no one's quite sure if he ever was in a war. Often found following behind him, is one of his "little" sheep.

Supernatural Type?: Overall Tavi seems pretty normal until you realize that not only has he kept track of all the entrances and exits to the room, but also the position of each person in it. When asked why he does this, he claims it's an old habit. Oh, and the sheep that follow him, yeah they tend to run on the large size, and you could swear they look at you as if you would make a nice snack...
Public Knowledge: Tavi has been a local for the last few years, having moved in shortly after the last major forest fire. He keeps a flock of oversized sheep just outside of town, and sells their wool to the locals such as Falk. Beyond caring for his herd, Tavi can also sometimes be found at the local JC assisting with their swordsmanship class. He has also been spotted running errands for Devon from time to time. When no one's quite sure where he is, try checking the surrounding forests.

Song: Tavi had a little lamb,
        Little lamb, little lamb,
        Tavi had a little lamb whose eyes were black as coal.
        It followed him to war one day,
        War one day, war one day,
        It followed him to war one day and that was effen cool.


Changeling Mein: Faint scars begin to appear across Tavi's skin telling of his hard durance. One also tends to notice the fact that the Roman lorica segmentata truly is as old as the Roman Empire, and has seen more than its fair share of battle. The gladii at his hips, have hint of old blood never fully cleaned form them. Oh, and his sheep, they really do want to eat you! Just looking in to their coal black eyes sends shivers down most peoples' spines.
