Heyo! Here are some Quick Ads for me! I'm keeping the descriptions short for this — mainly just outlining some minor ideas, what's flexible and what's not, and how they might be played with my characters. More detailed info about how I currently idealize/imagine the character can be found on my NPC page (a little in-need of an update)! [break][break]This isn't my full NPC/adoptable list but these are some choice characters I either desire more than others or that I think have more plot/play potential than others!

Suggested FC is Sam Claflin. Everything is up in the air with him, you can make him however you like. The only things "set in stone" are that he's a Guild Hunter and is "right-hand man" to Antonio Wayland (so needs to have a fitting, competent personality — or at least façade). I like the idea of Wolfhound being a more "pure" Hunter (aka Ungifted) but if you'd like him to have a power, that's 100% fine. I also have in my mind that his Guild tattoo, like Dane's, is huge. But unlike Dane's, it's not due to punishment/disobedience, but due simply to his closeness to Antonio. Like a trust thing. [break][break] The dynamic I imagine between Wolfhound and Dane is a volatile one. He probably enjoys putting Dane through some hell, Dane enjoys hating him, and they probably actually do amazing as partners (when they find it in themselves to work together). He's been mentioned in a couple of threads, including here (mentioned in two, seperate posts) and here (his placeholder name was 'Luck' at one point and I've been a little too lazy to update). I also started a moodboard for him a while back (if you're into that kind of thing).
[break][break]
Suggested FC is Imogen Poots. Everything is up in the air with her, you can make her however you'd like. The only things "set in stone" are that she's unwillingly been indentured to the Guild and is used as a healer for them. Her relationship with Dane I imagine is a tense one. He enjoys trying to get her to show emotion and likes winding her up. And she'd like very much to let him bleed out and die when he reaches out to her but knows it probably wouldn't fly over well with his father (little does she know, Antonio would likely be thrilled). She's been mentioned in a couple of threads including here.
[break][break]
Suggested FC is Iliana Raykovski. MK is a huge question mark. Feel free to take her in whatever direction you'd like! At one point, Dane was playing "boyfriend" to her in order to get access to her Sector files. But a while back, he discovered (in this entirely MK-centric one-shot) that she was using him, too. They had falling out and haven't spoken/seen each other since. But Dane hasn't ratted her out to the Guild and wonders about her motives. He respects her for what she did (and may actually have some genuine feelings for her).

As I'm playing it now, Gavyn lives with two other boys, Scotty and Erik. But, in reality, if someone were to pick up a roommate of his, they could make them whatever age, gender, faction, etc. that they want! Huge chaos vibes, living with Gavyn! I've fleshed out Scotty and Erik's personalities in my NPC page, but you don't have to pick those up at all! I'd just like to thread Roommate shenanigans (lmao). Their current apartment is pretty well-fleshed out in my development/home thread, but I kinda like the idea of them moving into a nicer/newer/bigger duplex? One with a huge basement that serves as the family-fun/game room. Just to thread the moving process, excitement, and picking out rooms and stuff! I'm gonna link Gavyn's video/Tiktok moodboard, just for the vibes I imagine. *sunglasses emoji*
[break][break]
Gavyn has basically had the same three-man (used to be four-man) BFF group since he was a kid. For placeholders, his best friends are named Aaron and Isaac, and there is also Donovan who broke all their hearts and fell into a bad crowd (and who also has a complicated relationship with Aaron). Like with his roommates, though, for the purpose of this ad, you can definitely consider their genders, ages, and all of that completely up in the air! They're fleshed out pretty well in the NPC list and in Gavyn's history/app but, again, those are just general ideas and not "set in stone"! Aaron was featured in this thread (old!!) and Isaac was mentioned quite a bit in this one!
[break][break]
I just think the Colburn twins could be so fun (lmao). The youngest of the siblings, they "got away" with a lot of shit growing up that Molly and Gavyn never would have. I'm sure they threw Gavyn in hot water on their behalf all the time. I love the idea of them both being gifted with telepathy (which they thought was just a "twin thing" growing up), but you're free to do whatever you want with them! I just really enjoy imagining their dynamic with Gavyn lol. Their "currently imagined" personalities are pretty well-fleshed out in the NPC list but... again... just ideas.

Jackal is the man who helped Ashley escape the Guild and forge his new identity. They did it together. Imagine them scared as all hell, cutting out each others' tattoos leaned over a bathtub. Jackal teaching him how to dye his hair and put in his contacts. Providing him with all the papers he would need in his new life. Jackal definitely took a risk bringing Ashley in on his plans. Ashley had a huge crush on him. But they haven't seen or heard from one another in over six years (since they decided it was safer for them to have no contact). They wished each other well and hoped to never see each other again (affectionate). [break][break]I think it would be so interesting for Jackal to come back into his life for whatever reason. Maybe he needs help? Maybe he's in a tight spot? Or maybe Jackal reaches out because he feels it's "finally safe" now? He'd probably be quite bewildered (and possible furious) to find out Ashley has rekindled his relationship with Gemma! It endangers everything he did for him![break][break]
He's mentioned (in like three separate posts, mostly reminiscing on the above "imagines") in this thread.

The Vael family owns a generations-old ranch outside of Los Eurosia that was once a Gifted "haven/sanctuary". They were all pretty involved with Blackstorm. Then the Guild got their claws in them and now use their homestead as a lure for Gifted. The first task they were given when the Guild took over was killing Colton Lowe (Emmeline Lowe's brother).

I've detailed some general idea of Michael's brother and sister below but, in addition to them, there's the Vael parents and Marianne's daughter, Abigail (who wears Michael's tattoo in his place </3)! There's also Marianne's husband (unless someone adopts Marianne and decides to cut him out of the picture, lmao). They all live/work on the Vael ranch. Most of their details can be tweaked/played with, so if you're interested in picking up anyone, don't be afraid to run your own spins by me!It'd make me insanely happy lmao.

[attr="class","wanted_title"]for Michael Vael
THE VAEL FAMILY
EX-BLACKSTORM / RELUCTANTLY GUILD-AFFILIATED
[attr="class","wanted_div"]
The Vael family owns a generations-old ranch outside of Los Eurosia that was once a Gifted "haven/sanctuary". They were all pretty involved with Blackstorm. Then the Guild got their claws in them and now use their homestead as a lure for Gifted. The first task they were given when the Guild took over was killing Colton Lowe (Emmeline Lowe's brother). [break][break]Further information (a snippet from Michael's application):
Michael and his family were "assimilated" into the Guild a little over a year ago. They were essentially given the choice to be killed or to be used and, after some initial resistance, they opted for the latter. Before, the Vaels operated a family ranch that had a low-key/down-low reputation of being a "Gifted haven/sanctuary". A place that offered safety and understanding (or perhaps just room and supper) to wayward or displaced Gifted individuals, be it for only a couple of days or longer.[break][break]
When the Guild caught wind of this, they initially moved to destroy it. But upon discovering the useful Gifts of the family (especially Mike and his brother)... and contemplating the convenience of their homestead being an established "beacon" for Gifted... they stilled their hand.[break][break]
In the year since then, the Vael ranch has been forced to maintain its reputation as a Gifted haven/sanctuary. Only now it's more falsity than truth. They're a lure. The Guild themselves sort of "advertise" the homestead; peddling their whispered existence through whatever underground channels they think might entice Gifted to seek the ranch out. For his part, Michael tries his best to be as unfriendly/unobliging as possible and send off anyone who shows up, but often the Guild has operatives on the ranch who ensure the gate always opens.[break][break]
The ranch is also utilized as a sort of Guild "safehouse" when needed, though the Vael family isn't usually very pleased/accommodating about it.[break][break]
Michael and his brother, better known in the Guild as "Duck" and "Goose" (respectively), are called upon to assist in hunting assignments semi-frequently. With Michael's reactive adaption and power immunity, he makes an effective tool against Gifted with mental abilities that others can't get close to. And his brother's ability of power absorption/nullification has its obvious perks. They are often dubbed the "Mercy Brothers", as they usually advocate/plea/beg for their target(s) to simply desist, surrender, and be stripped of their Gift rather than be killed.[break][break]
(Due to his Gifts, a Guild tattoo wouldn't have any effect on Michael. Because of this, the bastards tattooed his eight-year-old niece in his place. She pays the price for any/all of his failures and/or disobedience.)
I've detailed some general idea of Michael's brother and sister below but, in addition to them, there's the Vael parents and Marianne's daughter, Abigail (who wears Michael's tattoo in his place </3)! There's also Marianne's husband (unless someone adopts Marianne and decides to cut him out of the picture, lmao). They all live/work on the Vael ranch. Most of their details can be tweaked/played with, so if you're interested in picking up anyone, don't be afraid to run your own spins by me!

[break]DANIEL VAEL
34 - GIFTED W/ POWER ABSOPRTION
- Gifted with Power Absorption. This is a power that would have to be bought from the Power Shop (so we'd have to play without it for a while until you can afford it). He can have a second power if you'd like! With their Gifts, both Michael and Daniel are often pulled into Guild hunting assignments. Very, very reluctantly. I gave him the "Goose" tattoo/name, but obviously you can change that.
- Grew up close with Colton Lowe. When the Vael and Lowe families had their falling out, Daniel followed his father's lead and cut ties. How Daniel really felt about/dealt with the split is entirely up to you (but I imagine it wasn't as easy as he made it appear). Especially when, years later, the Vael family murdered him.
- As the first son, I imagine Daniel was always under his parents' thumbs a teensy bit more than Michael. Expected to be the head of the ranch after them. Probably pressured at plenty of points to settle down, get married, have babies, and all that (whether he did is up to you — marry him off, make more Vael grandkids if you want, or give him his reasons for never doing so! Whatever you want!)
- The relationship between him and Michael as I imagine it is a really strong one. No doubt they grew up fighting/scrapping (and probably still do on occasion). I like to think that, when it's just the two of them, Daniel loosens up a bit. Will let Michael pull him into a bit of trouble just as often as he is wrenching Michael out of it. Maybe, just maybe, Daniel's a little wild like Michael (and was just never given as much freedom/"that boy is gonna do what that boy is gonna do" leave as he was). Maybe there's a tiny bit of deeply-buried resentment for the fact? [break][break]
In any case, they never pull punches with one another. Never hesitate to start that fight. Probably go periods without talking to and hating each other. Definitely still have their knock-out brawls every now and again. But, in the end, they'll have each others' back. Pick each other up from bars. Play wingman to one another. Maybe even have quiet conversations in rare moments of vulnerability/struggle.
[break][break]

[break]MARIANNE KREHL
29 - GIFTED W/ POWER SENSING
- Gifted with Power Sensing. I don't imagine that the Guild forces her on assignments like they do Michael and Daniel but I do imagine she is looked at to confirm if anyone showing up at the ranch is Gifted. And she was probably tested by them more than a few times when they first took over. They probably staged some Gifted arrivals and punished her quite extensively if she lied. She can have a second power if you'd like! She has a tattoo as well, but I didn't name it/her in Michael's bio. I like the idea of the whole family being "birds" of some sort, but you can really choose whatever you want!
- Marianne married and had her daughter when she was pretty young. Right now I'm playing the narrative like she is still married, but... if you'd rather her be single/divorced then that's totally fine! She definitely has the support system from her family to raise Abigail on her own. But maybe she's happy still with her relationship? Or maybe it was too fast and fell apart once Abigail was born? All entirely up to you!
- I like to imagine Marianne was a wild one when she was a girl. And I like to think she's super f*cking funny too. But, at the same time, she's probably a little "doormat"-ish when it comes to her parents and their opinions on her life, what she does, and what they expect from her. Probably always gives in to whatever they say in the end. Maybe she feels a little trapped? Maybe she regrets the life she's written herself into now? Or maybe she really did always want to be a Mom and all that. Again, all up to however you want to play her!
- Grew up practically inseparable from Emmeline Lowe. Then wedged a slow drift between them when the two families had their falling out and her parents kept expressing their disapproval. Lots of wistful feelings about the whole thing, surely.
- Marianne was the one to kill Colton Lowe. And I imagine she's struggling hard with it. And I can see her having a lot of frequently "dark and moody" days where she withdraws and can't stand anyone. She's not a murderer. But she is. Shit's heavy, no doubt.
