You are on the run. Maybe because you stole something, or killed someone. Maybe you cheated someone and they're after you. Who knows?
All that's important is that you ran into a group of runners like you, and you finally have some time to take a break before running again. Will you stay with these people? Will you leave them? Or betray them?

RULES:
This is rated whatever it turns out to be. I don't care.

No disrespect.

Hate the character, not the person.

Name: Adam Harrison

Age: 20

Appearance: Tall, skinny but muscular. Short brown, messy hair, thin beard, charming blue eyes and glasses. Defined jaw line, dreamy face overall.

Personality: Very kind, but reserved. He isn't easily angered, but when he is angered, it is scary to be around him. When he's in a tough situation, he reacts with smiles and calm words, which is somewhat unsettling at times.

Why you're running: Con artist. He lures woman in wtih his looks, and scams them out of their money. His stories vary, saying things like his house is being repossesed, or his grandmother is dying of cancer and he needs money to pay the medical bills. He is very recognizable, and the law has posters everywhere of him. He has the nickname "Baby blue". He is rumored to have killed a woman, but it isn't proven. After all, why would a sweetheart like Adam kill someone?

Accent: Very charming, and very slight, british accent. Forced? Who knows.

Species: Human, but the way he charms men and women alike, there has to be something up with him, right?

Background: No one really knows his real backstory, he has never felt close enough to a person t actually break down his walls. Some say he was abused, while others say his parents died in a skiing accident. But no one knows for sure.

Other: He has major trust issues, even though he seems charming, and easy to be around, he never reveals his actual emotions or thoughts. It's all an elaborate act. And even though he usually tempts women, he's gay. But who knows that? Who actually has taken the time to get to know him?

Name: Remus Talyc
Age: 19
Appearance: Tall, with curly black hair like roiling, swirling sea and umber brown skin like wet sand. He has palms like cracked pottery and eyes like a deep pool, dark and mysterious, constantly swirling with the wind. Remus has long, sharp talons like spearheads and slitted pupils like that of a cat, as well as a mouse tail and the legs of a bird. His wings are huge and expansive, but fold up neatly and provide good cover, colored with muted tones like earthy reds and browns and sandy yellows.
Personality: Remus is a romantic at heart, always singing sorrows and wailing about things to no end. He always speaks his heart, and is very insistent that others do so as well when he sees them to be ailed. He has an incredibly poetic soul, as well as a sharp, driven mind that can focus on anything when his heart is in it.
Why you're running: Remus messed up, and he messed up badly. He stole from a powerful witch to heal his mother, but the witch hunted him down. The witch killed his whole family and cursed him to never be able to stay in the same place for more than three months, lest terrible things happen to him and anyone he happens to get close to.
Accent: Very faint Irish accent.
Species: Witch
Background: To be determined.
Other: He’s super trans and super bi, and very much ready to cry. Also very ADHD, and suffers from intrusive thoughts.

Once @Ash-is-feeling-SPOOPY-for-SPOOPY-SEASON gets their character up, we can begin!

Name: Tori [Last name unknown](as in Ash has no clue)
Age: 10
Appearance: Tori's very short, even for her age, and is extremely thin. Her skin is a light blue, and she has wide brown eyes and a small nose. Her fingers and toes are webbed, and her ears resemble fins. She has gills on her neck, but those are usually covered with something. Her hair is long, brown, and very tangled, growing down to the small of her back.
Personality: Tori's very timid and sensitive, but tries not to show her emotions. She's scared easily, especially in big crowds. Very quiet, she'll only speak when spoken to.
Why you're running: Tori was born a slave, but recently managed to escape. Her goal is just to get as far away as possible.
Accent: A very faint Scottish accent, if you didn't listen closely to her voice, you wouldn't be able to tell.
Species: Fishman
Background: Born into slavery and was sold multiple times before she finally ran away. She doesn't know any of her family, as they were separated when she was a baby.
Other: Tori can breathe underwater thanks to her gills, but she can also breathe normal air.

Name: Christi.
Age: 15, but she measures time differently than humans.
Appearance: Green hair, golden eyes, one scar over her eye and another along her jaw. Pointed canine teeth.
Personality: She's chaotic and reckless and never thinks about what could go wrong. She's used to doing things her own way and hates letting other people decide things for her.
Why you're running: She "accidentally" burned down part of her village, then she threatened the leader and was banished, they're still mad about that.
Accent: It's not even a human accent, she sounds like a wolf learned English.
Species: Half fey shapeshifter.
Background: To complicated to explain, I'll tell you it as we go along because most of it's not that important.
Other: Can turn into several different animals, but not all of them. CANNOT touch iron or it will burn her skin off and that smells bad. Her blood is kind similar to the color of honey in case you were wondering.

((Yes.))

Adam sat there, smiling to himself for an unknown reason. He glanced to the people surrounding him, smiling once more. Sure, it sucked to be on the run, but the people he was stuck with…it was pretty good.
He slowly stood up to survey his surroundings. They were camped out underneath a raised railroad track that was long since abandoned. It was perfect for the time, it sheltered them from the rain, and it gave them perfect cover. No one ever came out this way. Still, he was careful.
He took a few steps away from the crowd, huffing the air in after the light drizzle. He looked around him, looking to see if anyone was hiding.

Christi huddled under the bridge, tucking her jacket around her and shifting uncomfortably. This place was better than some of the other places she had been, but she didn't really want to share it with other people. They were runaways like her, so maybe it was safe.

Adam glanced back at the group, stomach growling from lack of food.
"Christi, do you still have that bread?" He said, with such charm dripping through his voice.
Sometimes, he just couldn't help the charm that came with his…condition, but other times, it mad things easier. For example, when he needed money, he would simply lull a woman into his strong arms and whisper sweet things, and she would be compelled to give him whatever he wanted.
Other times, he just wanted a companion that wasn't manipulated by his voice, but he hasn't found such a male.

Remus trudged through the mud, walking until both boots hiding his very obvious legs from view broke. It was hopeless. He’d always be seen as a freak, no matter what happened. But it still hurt a little.

He took a spell for warmth out of his pocket-his last-and curled up nearby where some other runaways were.

He curled up, holding warmth in his hands until it all faded away, taking great care to preserve enough of that precious heat to live on.

Tori ran through the mud, keeping her head down and her threadbare blanket around her shoulders. She'd lost all feeling in her feet, as she hadn't found a pair of shoes yet, and her ears stung with the cold. She eventually came to an old bridge, where other people like her were huddled. The girl curled up in her blanket, still keeping her distance from the others.

Adam looked around at the newcomers, sensing something that wasn't paranoia, which was good. He eyed them though, because they just imposed without a second glance, however, they might have food.
"Do you guys have food?" Adam asked, hoping to get a response, and not scaring them away, "And I'm building a fire, if you guys want to come closer."
Adam wasn't sure why he was trusting these people so easily, he had always been able to sense the character of people, that's how he knew who was gullible, and who wasn't. And he sensed that these people were in the same boat that he was.
