CURSE OF THE MOON.
Finlay’s mother had always dotted on her firstborn son, from the moment he was born. He grew up attending only the most prestigious schools in Newcastle, wearing name-brand clothes that were tailored for him with his initials ‘F.W’ etched onto the inside of his coats. He played for his school’s football team and his mother never missed a game. When he told her that he wanted to pursue a degree in music composition, she encouraged him. His mother was exceptionally renowned within their community, all of whom practiced magic and were born into the line of witchcraft.
Fin was no different - He had an affinity for magic, and it came to him as naturally as breathing. He worked to master spells, giving his grandmother and uncle his word that he’d use the craft responsibly. He wanted to live a normal life - His mother accepted that about him.
When she saw him then, eyes a piercing red, fangs sprouting from his gums, twin lines of blood running from his tear ducts and down his cheeks, pleading with her to realize he was the same son she had raised all those years.. She looked at him pitifully, frozen in place and gazing on in a mixture of sorrow and disgust. The tears that run down her own cheeks just don’t seem to stop.
“You look like my son,” she spoke softly, much like he did, something they both shared. She shook her head, tresses of black curls swaying as she refused to look at him any longer. “I’m sorry.. I’m so sorry this happened to you.. But you... aren’t anymore. Witches who give in to vampirism are corrupted by blood magic. Cursed to a lonely, eternal life.. It will turn them evil, taint their soul.. It’s a crime against nature for you to continue being like you are. Blood magic will drive you mad.. Make you a monster. Oh, Finnie..”
His jaw clenched visibly, eyes squeezed shut. The lights around them began to flicker at an abnormal rate, the windows of their home shaking from a violent, howling wind that rattled the stainless glass. With one lift of his hand, a pile of dinner plates fell to the floor, shattering with a loud clash. His mother didn’t move, eyes surveying the damage with a worried expression. “You don’t want to live your life like this. Feeding on innocent people, having too much power that you can’t control.. Living an empty life.. I’m too sad to see you continue suffering like this. Let’s bring this to an end, hm?”
“Are you saying I should die?” Fin spoke up, voice so terribly soft and devastated to ask her this. It’s not anything a mother should say to her son, and his entire world was turning upside down. A few car alarms went off outside their home, muffled by the shriek of the wind. “I’m your son.. You’re supposed to help me!”
“I would be helping you. My sweet boy.. It’s over. Don’t fight it. What you’re like now.. It’s no way for anyone to live,” she spoke evenly, struggling to keep her composure as she took a step towards him. The walls of their house shook, a few people started to yell in exasperation outside for all the commotion. “You would be able to rest, and find peace. Find your peace now, without having to go on like this and hurt people. I know how sensitive you are, you wouldn’t be able to handle it if you did.. Stop all this. Come with me.”
Finlay felt like he was trembling, eyes peeled wide at his mother’s approach - He loved her, he did, but.. He was afraid. More than anything, more than the prospect of being this way, he feared his mother’s apparent death wish for him. He didn’t think about what he should do, only took action. He quickly raised a hand toward her, his magic reacting and retaliating on his behalf by sending a sharp surge of power toward her - causing her to fly back and hit her back against the wall, slumping forward and falling unconscious.
Fin cried out at the sight and screamed in frustration, the lights all around the house blinking out one by one and leaving him alone in the dark. The distant sound of car alarms and the unruly wind was the only sound accompanying his sobs, forcing himself to step back and get out of the house while he still could.
His mother was right. He wouldn’t be able to go on hurting people - He’d even hurt her. Conflicting thoughts and emotions swirled through his head, each clashing with one another, and he struggled to keep going. His legs felt numb and his body was flooded with a wave of fatigue. He found his way to a bus bench, wiping his face of the bloody tears and doing a terrible job of it. Luckily, no one was around to witness the horrific sight. He pulled out his phone, seeing the time was around 2am - He’d have to get inside and keep himself locked up. If he had hurt his mother, who knew what else he was capable of doing?

HOBBIES: He enjoys music, of course, as well as football (he played while he was in Newcastle), some painting (though he wouldn’t consider himself especially good).
HEIGHT: 173cm.
APPEARANCE: He dresses very modestly, with neutral tones and generally longer sleeves/pants. He doesn’t like flashy, but allows himself a nice watch and his earrings, as well as a faint amount of concealer these days to hide the paleness and grey bags under his eyes. He is underweight, but recently has been more so due to transitioning into a vampire and not allowing himself to drink human blood.
SPECIES: Vampire/witch hybrid.
FAMILY DYNAMICS: His parents are well-respected witches throughout the community of covens in Europe, and run a lot of the activity in the UK. His father is British-Chinese, and his mother is Korean, from Jeju island. They have recently been involved in issuing new proposals that involve separating witches from matters involving vampires, which has been a controversial topic. But his family firmly believes in keeping those who practice magic in line and not straying from their code of conduct, which includes not getting involved in the affairs of vampires, werewolves, etc.
CURRENT UPDATES:
Recently, he found himself facing trouble with some vampires who strongly disagreed with his mother’s attempts to separate the witches from other magical beings, and they made an attempt on his life. He died from the attack, but as another vampire saved him, he ended up coming back as undead. He keeps this part of himself a secret, and denies it greatly - he won’t call himself a vampire, and has recently started living off of animal blood, which is why he’s much more pale and malnourished. Though he promises himself it’ll get him by.
His magic has recently just came back to him, though it only became more powerful than before when he fed on human blood ( from a blood bag, graciously kept by his sire ). His magic is classified as expression magic, bordering on black magic which is highly forbidden by covens everywhere because it is seen as too much power for one person to hold. He struggles to keep his magic from exploding and making a mess of everything, and is training to keep himself more calm and composed so he doesn’t act out of emotion and lash out with his magic.
ABILITIES
ABILITY TO MANIPULATE ELEMENTS
Fin has the ability to bend nature to his will, to an extent. His power is not an endless funnel, and only if he feeds, can he support his magic. When he was in starvation mode, feeding on animal blood, he could barely light a candle himself. But with human blood, he could make electrical circuits combust, fire to be created, the bones in someone’s body to bend and break as he commands it to, make a person’s blood boil internally. Of course, this magic is finicky and it could backfire easily, usually powerful at first and dwindling the more he uses it.
COMPULSION/MANIPULATION
This is a common vampire ability, and he can compel a human to forget something, or to do as he says. Though he has yet to truly command this ability, he knows it is something vampires have the authority of doing. He cannot compel another vampire.
QUICK HEALING
As a part of his vampire side, his wounds heal at the quick rate of one.
SUPER STRENGTH/AGILITY
His vampire side allows him increased senses, with include the five main ones- as well as a more powerful strength and agility.
PLOTS
SIRE AND FLEDGLING
After being attacked by enemies of his family, he is left to die on the streets. A man comes to him, feeds him his blood to heal him, yet Fin succumbs to his injuries. He ends up turning into a vampire, but luckily the one who turned him helped by bringing him back to his home and helping him transition. This man is Kim Taehyun, and they have a sire bond. Fin will respond and listen to what he says, and if he’s asked to do something, there’s an innate instinct in him to do so. They have an established emotional link, and his sire Taehyun feels obligated to protect him as one of his own.
MISFIT PACK
Fin is a rare hybrid - a witch and a vampire. The witches wouldn’t accept him like this, it goes against everything they believe about balance and keeping a clean image for witches. Vampires are more solitary, and even the ones who do link up wouldn’t give him the time of day. So, Fin finds a pack of misfit creatures who form a pack with one another, Jaewoo offers him a group to be there for him and protect one another, something in which Fin desires - with his family wanting nothing to do with him in this state, he feels alone - unprotected, facing a force he’s not sure he can handle on his own.
WANTED PLOTS
WITCH COMPANIONS - ( m/f ) - This includes other witches that Fin befriends, to seek out a purpose of his or just to get advice on his wayward magic that he can’t seem to get under control.
MUSICIANS - ( m/f ) - Fin has an affliction for the violin, so finding others who can practice or perform with him is a real treat. He dabbles in writing and composing some music of his own, so he could have your muse try out some of what he writes, though he’ll fuss over it and change things the whole time. He performs with a classical symphony group, so any classical musicians are welcome to come forward! He doesn’t do much in the way of idol production, but perhaps they could use his violin as a part of a song.
MAGIC MADNESS - ( m/f ) - Fin’s magic is out of control, and your muse finds themselves in the midst of one of his chaotic episodes, where car alarms are going off, street lamps go out, he’s hyperventilating. They either stop and try to calm him down, or become increasingly confused, then aware that he had something to do with everything going awry. Your muse either has supernatural background, or doesn’t and this is a learning curve for them.
CHILDHOOD MEMORIES - ( m/f ) - Fin took yearly trips to Korea and Jeju with his family every year to visit family and attend events, and naturally, these got boring so he’d sneak out to go see the sights, play games, kick a football around. He meets your muse, and they get along immediately as if they click, and they become fast friends. Every year, they’d want to see each other again, rekindling over old memories. So when Fin finally moves to Korea, they’re excited to be close to your muse again, not having to simply keep in touch as a pen pal anymore.
