Xander's Cross, Oregon: a small town ringed with forbidding mountains and misty forest. The sky may be gray, but the townspeople are welcoming to people of all kinds...and things that are not quite human as well. Here the native shifters, aliens, werewolves, and witches live in peace. They have yet to find out the new business owners encroaching on the land are also vampires.
The peace has been broken by murder, however, and things in Xander's Cross are about to become quite a bit darker.
Welcome to your new home.
is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?

The mayor, Rowan Starkwood, was found dead less than a mile from his home. Rumors say his body was mutilated, but the state of the body has not yet been released to the public.

"I'LL FIGURE IT OUT. I ALWAYS DO."
-Basics-
Face Claim: Cole Sprouse
Name: August Thaddeus Bishop
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Species: Human (1/2 witch)
Height: 5' 111/2"
Fashion: Auggie isn't very flashy, his choice in clothing often being darker colors, such as black and grey along with his trademark leather jacket and a crown shaped hat his twin bought him for their 10th birthday.
Physical Description: A lean young man of medium stature with pale skin. He has black hair and blueish-green eyes that can be surprisingly expressive given his sometimes abrasive nature.
-Personality-
Description: Sarcastic shit. Darkly humorous. At times apathetic and cynical with a quick temper. He is someone who seems to have a lot of secrets that he is reluctant to part from. Crafty and intelligent though he doesn't often let people see just how smart he is. An underachiever. Not ambitious. A quiet observer, always writing things down. The only person to truly know him is his twin brother, Asher, who Auggie is very protective of and would do anything for. Willing to take a bullet for 'the little guy'. Will readily get himself in trouble if it means righting injustice. Reckless and selfless.
Habits/Hobbies: Smoking, pulls on mouth when thinking, riding his motorcycle, writing, photography
-Background-
History: Neither Auggie nor his brother really knew much about their father except from what their mother told them. And as she was most often high on whatever drugs she could get her hands on, what she had told them was suspect. Auggie was less inclined to believe the things she said than his twin. He wasn't even all that fussed when he found out that the bastard had died. By then, all they really knew for sure was that their bio-dad had a whole other family- a wife and kid- and their mother was just a fling. It didn't really matter anyway as him and his brother were in and out by then, being moved from place to place whenever their mother's drug use got them evicted from whatever shithole they were living in at the time, couch surfing while she did the occasional stint in either rehab or jail (possession). More often than not, Auggie and Ace looked after themselves. Then, their mother did something really stupid, her crowning glory, ending up first in a rehab and then straight to prison. That's when social services finally called up the one family member they had left, a half-sister they had never met in some podunk town in the middle of nowhere that no one had ever heard of. Plus side, at least they were together.
Secret: Both him and Asher witnessed their mother murdering her boyfriend when she caught him abusing the boys. They both refused to testify. The boyfriends body has never been found though she has been implicated in his murder.
