! introduction, player: heather

Hi everyone! Heather here (player of Dominic and Tabitha) with #3, Azurcrest sophomore William Chase.

Before I intro him though, I want to give HUGE thanks to Emily and the mods for helping me to perfect him. He's something of a departure from the usual chars I write, and with the factual info from the mods and the incredibly detailed (and constructive!) feedback from Emily, I feel much happier about giving him a decent shot.

Anyway, on to William!

Born in Louisiana but brought up in Colorado, William lived in a group foster home until he was adopted at age four. This part is public knowledge (kind of obvious when you're white and your parents are African and Native American). What is not public knowledge, and maybe even not the closest of his friends know, is that the caregivers when he was young were physically abusive and this is how his first magic was triggered - in self defence.

He attended a small prep school in Colorado before Gooseberry, and attends by virtue of his grades across the curriculum and his abilities in muggle sports (he mostly plays soccer. And god knows I hate writing that word, lol). He's in LARP, Events and Outdoor Exploration, and is trying to convince people that non magical sports can be just as fun as magical ones!

He's a bouncy puppy, basically, with endless perkiness (unless you push one of his buttons) and is basically a cat dad to a black Persian kitten (whom he maintains is part Kneazle) called Dave. Yes, Dave.

Plot with me or any of mine!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Soooo. Cecil wants to big brother the heck out of you, adorable new Azurcrest! He'll definitely be friendly and encouraging toward William and they'll likely see a fair amount of each other since they're in the same house and have overlapping electives (Events and Outdoor Exploration). He's also very willing to try a sport that's played ON THE GROUND, so show him the ropes kiddo~

Casper...well, there's less there to work with and he's sort of a jerk anyway. So. We'll see how that goes. ;)

Awwww, Will!

So, Calvin was probably Not So Nice to him last year, but this year he's gotten a lot better and has been significantly more pleasant. He probably finds Will a little exasperating, but it's turning into more affectionate exasperation? He's not playing any muggle sports, though. SORRY.

Reid and Will may not cross paths often, but Reid would be decent to him!

Aaaand Diego likes to be a big brother to all the baby birds, but less of a rule abiding big brother than Cecil. He'll play soccer! He'll play soccer very badly.

	While Will isn't the fighting back kind, for the most part, I think he'd probably give Calvin a little bit of the cold shoulder? He probably finds it difficult to trust him at least. Yay! Will will enjoy getting to teach because he's just excited that people want to play! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Addy loves her baby Acrests and is in outdoor exploration too! Though she doesn't always you know, go. She'll still be nice. And while she probably does not know of his childhood situation, she thinks it is pertinent to mention she'd absolutely march to Louisiana and hang some bitches up by their toenails if she did :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	notacad 2016-09-27 03:36 pm UTC (link)
	Excellent! The fact he grew up in a group home and it wasn't nice is public knowledge, but I need to figure out who his BFFs are before I establish if anyone knows just how unpleasant it was :( (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yay, MORE Azurcrest Sophomores! Takin' over the land of the underclassmen! But, yes. Frankie's also a chipper little dweeb, so they'll probably get along well. They've got LARP and Events together - and she's muggleborn, so she'd definitely played soccer before. (Probably not that well. But she's played!) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	notacad 2016-09-27 03:34 pm UTC (link)
	All of these things are excellent! Would you object if Will had a crush on her? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anadem 2016-09-27 03:49 pm UTC (link)
	Yay! And, no, not at all! She probably wouldn't catch on. Because she's kind of oblivious like that. And also he's tall and super cute and ha, no way, nice one bro. But she'll totally drag him along to Ree's cuddle-parties and chatter at him during Events stuff. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notacad 2016-09-27 03:51 pm UTC (link)
	Awww! He thinks she's dainty and super pretty so OMG HE HAS NO CHANCE but he'll cuddle because, cuddles 😀 (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anadem 2016-09-27 03:54 pm UTC (link)
	I am so down for them being a collective disaster with no ability to get anything resembling an act together. With bonus cuddling. Because, really. No reason to miss out on quality snuggling time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notacad 2016-09-27 04:01 pm UTC (link)
	YES. THIS IS A STELLAR IDEA. And bonus bets by other Azurcrests on whether said act will ever be got together... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

'Is there something -' 'No? There's no something. We weren't something-ing.' 'But you were holding hands.' 'Yeah. Hello. It's dark, we're in the woods. Buddy system.'

I feel like Azurcrest has a lot of underground betting pools in general, though. Put down three dragot on pepperoni pizza for this Friday. Twelve on Mrs. Rhee force-choking Mr. Merrill before Christmas break.

YAY MORE TINY AZURCRESTS!!!!

Essie is totally up for playing soccer. ~~But she doesn't want to be on Diego's team, ugh.~~ She went to a muggle elementary school for like five years, so she is totally up for dodgeball and soccer and any other gym class activity you can think of. If Will tries to get a muggle sports club organized, Essie is totally on board with supporting that.

OMG! I am revamping a character that has an abusive past. Not that Ryan's is similar outside of that, and he wouldn't advertise his history either, but omg the poor babies <3

Vee thinks he's adorable and even though she's older, she'd be friendly. They're in outdoor exploration and events together too!

Ana is in his year, but can be a bit prickly upon first meeting. Still, since he's a sports guy and not an asshat, she'd likely be friendly towards him (her version at least!) They also have charms, herbology, potions, astronomy together too!

EYYYYYYYYYYYY, I have Levi in LARP and OE! He's a senior Azurcrest, Chaser, probably the anti-Cecil at this point. He'll be the lil devil on Will's shoulder.

Levi would be interested in soccer in theory, but I think the extent of his experience is kicking the ball off the cliffside and into the ocean while throwing his arms up and screaming "FUTBOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!" before somebody was made to go retrieve it.

He's also into animals and his mom's a magizoologist and his eldest brother is a magical vet. They can gab about cute creatures together.

I'm notttttttttt sure about Maggie

fensterln, but I think she'd find his peppiness adorable and thinks Cecil would be a good influence on him.

	Just have to creep on and say I'm dying at the mention of Levi's soccer. DYING (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	idfk 2016-09-28 01:09 am UTC (link)
	I MEAN, HE LIVED ON A SMALL ISLAND WITH A LARGE HISPANIC WIZARD POPULATION. HE KNOWS THAT HE'S SUPPOSED TO GET REALLY HYPED UP ABOUT FUTBOL BUT NONE OF THE LITTLE WIZARD KIDS FULLY GRASPED THE CONCEPT OF THE MUGGLE GAME. so seeing who can kick it furthest out into the ocean is the best sport. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gottaplay 2016-09-28 01:13 am UTC (link)
	I repeat DYING. Levi is truly the best. Ana is like "does that mean I should know what soccer is?" LOL (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	idfk 2016-09-28 01:18 am UTC (link)
	fasdjfklj omfg, he probably like... had to have someone explain to him that soccer = futbol. and futbol =/= kicking distance competition. SO IT'S OKAY, ANA, THE LIL ISLAND BEBS DIDN'T KNOW WHAT SOCCER WAS EITHER. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	notacad 2016-09-27 03:18 pm UTC (link)
	Lol someone needs to be! And I need to make up his LARP character yet. Levi is banned from Will's games on the grounds just FYI ;) he'd like him though! Well, good ;) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	reehobbs 2016-09-27 06:32 am UTC (link)
	Ree will snuggle him and will play soccer with him if he teaches her? But if Dave comes near her birdo she will bite Dave. Gabi likes bouncy puppies. Isaiah probably bares recognizes him, because: Isaiah. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	William is SO UP FOR BOTH OF THOSE THINGS but says HDU because Dave is perfectly well trained! (Reply to this) (Parent)

SOPHOMORESSS ♥

Okay so Pippa will know him from classes and will definitely be friendly!! She thinks Will is cute and fun and may possibly attempt to flirt with him at some point if she gets up the courage. But otherwise they can be perky together!

Henrietta knows how to play soccer so if Will ever organises a game she'd be all over that. (Tbh she'd be up for any muggle sports/games he suggests.) Het gets really competitive so she would PLAY TO WIN oh my god why does no one on my team understand the rules. Anywayyyy she'll be friendly because yay Azurcrests!

	All of that sounds pretty good to me - and we should definitely have Henrietta and Will play sports together some time! 😀 (Reply to this) (Parent)
