            Lonely Fish Fancier HIGH CONCEPT!!

                  Jamie loves fish. For a kid his age he's got a crazy collection, an entire wall lined with well-kept tanks full of brightly colored finny friends of all shapes and sizes. Jamie's fish are very close to his heart and he cares for them to an almost obsessive level; in fact, his fish are damn near his only friends. Small, physically and emotionally fragile, and soft spoken, Jamie was an easy target for bullies throughout his childhood. Even in high school, he's found it hard to make friends due to a combination of fear, self-doubt, and the occasional bully renaissance. Still, all he truly wants is a close companion or two who can actually talk back.



            When Will My Reflection Show TROUBLE!!

                  There's something not right about Jamie Delacroix. It's not wrong in an overtly negative way, but in a way that just feels off: solemn, forced... The emotional trauma of dealing with bullies and loneliness have made Jamie desperate to fit in and he's spent years conforming to societal norms to accomplish this, denying himself in the process.

                  Lately it's gotten a lot harder to handle. There are things he thinks and feels that he's positive aren't the issues your average eighteen-year-old boy deals with. Sometimes he's not even sure he is a boy, and that's something that makes absolutely no sense to him in his current state of mind. On top of that, he finds himself wanting the Jamie he sees in the mirror to be someone more vibrant, more colorful, more beautiful. Sometimes he wants to wear fun, feminine, frilly, clothes and accessories, things society has taught him are for girls, not boys.

                  Expressing himself in any fashion has become limited to what he believes others expect of him. Jamie wants to do, say, and experience so much, but he's honestly not ready to leap into or even accept it and it's slowly crushing him emotionally.

            The Water's Fine DREAMER POWER!!

                  Anything water-based is the absolute perfect temperature whenever Jamie inevitably partakes. Showers are always soothingly warm or pleasantly cool in the summer, he never so much as shivers wading into the pool for the first time, and he never burns his mouth sipping his favorite teas; they're always warm and comforting, but cooled enough to safely drink.



            You're a Jackrabbit Underneath MOONWALKER POWER!!

                  Or, more accurately, a snowshoe hare. Jamie is forced to transform in Other Ashdown with every full moon and must hold his half-form for a week after, but is otherwise able to shift between animal and were forms at will. The half-form also affords him an increase to strength and speed. When in physical contact with other moonwalkers, he experiences pack touch, or a feeling of family and belonging.



            Buddy Buds META FAVOR POWER!!

                  There is now a ring of flower buds on your scalp that bloom into colorful blossoms when you’re happy. Aww! (Don’t worry, they’re pollen-free.) Jamie's particular brand of flower crown is made of snowdrops.



            Instant-Instant Message META ROLL POWER!!

                  Adfero! ... You can now send brief thoughts or sentiments to other people within your line of sight. They can't message you back, but this would be killer in a game of Bullshit.



            Primal Scream CHALLENGE MONTH POWER!!

                  When you scream, people stop moving. They physically cannot move for 15 seconds. Not even to breathe.



            Energizer Bunny RISER POWER!!

                  Jamie's muscles regenerate at a faster than normal rate, allowing him to continue strenuous activity such as running, exercising, and fighting considerably longer than he could otherwise. Regen speed can vary based on the extent of the damage (i.e. general use vs. strain vs. actual injury, etc) and does not heal any physical wounds unrelated to the muscles. Consequently, this uses excessive energy, causing Jamie to get hungry faster and requiring occasional snacking to keep everything running smoothly.



            Snow White RISER MOONWALKER POWER!!

                  Upon growth to Riser, a werebeing will find that creatures of its same general group recognize them as one of their own. A wolf will get friendly reactions from most canids, a bat may find kinship with birds. They can't communicate with the creatures (without obtaining a power specifically allowing them to do so) but they will obey basic instructions. This power does not apply to otherbeings.



            Don't Chase the Rabbit QUEST POWER!!

                  Shiloh and Jamie now have the ability to meld their minds together in a process very similar to drifting (see: really gay pacific rim s**t). Their shared conscious allows for them to combine their strengths and utilize magic in a much more potent way, enabling them to unleash spells much stronger than they could alone. In addition to relative proximity, It takes a small amount of time to both set up and back out of the drift safely, as well as concentration to maintain the meld. Any shift in focus can result in the drift breaking, which consequently gives both of them "mental whiplash"—this can include but is not limited to headaches, nosebleeds, disorientation, tunnel vision, etc.



            The Best Hugs TUNNEL OF LOVE POWER!!

                  A hug from you is guaranteed to make someone feel better, somehow. Even if you hug yourself.



            Size Doesn't Matter BEYOND POWER!!

                  Despite his small stature, Jamie boasts unnatural physical strength. With this superhuman ability, he's able to lift things many times his size and weight, hit harder, and throw farther than an average—or even above-average—person generally could.



            One of Us BEYOND MOONWALKER POWER!!

                  Upon growth to Beyond1, a werebeing will find that they have the sensory advantages (and disadvantages) of their particular were-side at all times, no matter how far out the full moon is or which side of the divide between worlds they are on. A bat may be able to echolocate, but their vision might also suffer. A fox will have a keener sense of smell than a deer. Generally speaking, the benefits of this power will far outweigh the risks.



            Structura SUPERLATIVE (BEST DYNAMIC DUO) POWER!! UPGRADED!!

                  Your bones are incredibly tough. Only a massive force can break them. However, this does not extend to your muscles or skin.



            Down the Rabbit Hole BONUS POWER!!

                  If outright looking for them, Jamie can see entrances to Other Ashdown in the form of holes in the ground or floor.



            Hydrophonia EZRA'S AUDACITY POWER!!

                  Jamie can use bodies of water as, essentially, voice recorders, storing his voice in them for an unlimited amount of time. This can be useful for leaving messages. It also prevents anyone else from using the water his voice is held in for any other magical purpose.



            Lifeblood SHILOH'S ASTRAL FORCE POWER!!

                  Jamie's blood looks normal, but it's thick like sap and sweet like sugar. It's actually like this because of the plants that cling to Shiloh's body; their power is passed to Jamie via the astral force mark. Wherever he's wounded, flora will absolutely congregate and bud around any abrasion he receives, and knocking them off only makes them grow back like a scab. It's a symbiotic relationship however, as the plants actually help to speed up his regeneration process, the only drawback being the immense amount of energy it can consume if Jamie's not careful. Incidentally, his blood makes for a wonderful fertilizer.

                  The mark Shiloh gave him to pass on this power manifests as a splash of gold freckles along his cheeks, nose, and shoulders. Innocuous enough at a glance, but they bloom into tiny little buds whenever he uses lifeblood!

Dislike Indifferent Acquaintance Friend Good Friend Best Friend Crush Love
User Image

            Shiloh Beaumont

                  The first friend, the best friend, the... BOYFRIEND! Jamie can't believe they're actually dating, but it's probably the best thing that's ever happened to him. After all, Shiloh's the one who helped nurture his feelings of self-worth and inner strength, teaching him to stand on his own two feet. He really, really loves this guy.



            Alexander Thorne

                  After seeing how protective of Shiloh he was, Jamie grew to appreciate Thorne as a brother figure of sorts. Hasn't seen him for a while, though, and after the promise to help him out whenever he needed it, Jamie does wonder what happened.



            Algernon Mercer

                  It's hard not to feel calm—soothing touch aside—when around Alg. Maybe it's how relatable he is. Realizing that they came from similar mindsets gives Jamie hope for his own future.



            America Jones

                  She's so pretty and fun and uplifting! Jamie is really glad he met her, even if they aren't that close.



            Beel

                  It's really hard to trust him or even want to be in the same general vicinity as him. Jamie knows rules and morals are different for othercreatures, but it doesn't ease the pain of being tricked and used.



            Chelsea Craft

                  Weirdly relatable, Jamie appreciates how strangely normal she seems. Gives pretty good hugs, too.



            Christopher Watts

                  One of the first people to take Jamie seriously, he respects Chris and thinks of him as a pseudo-brotherly figure. It's been a while since he's seen him, a realization that both worries and upsets him.



            Cid Concord

                  Definitely one of the stranger people Jamie's ever met, but Cid showed him card game stuff and that was pretty neat. Apparently he's Jamie's part-time employer in the recreated world?!



            Dawson Grace

                  Anyone willing to put themselves in harms way to help Shiloh is someone Jamie genuinely appreciates.



            Eve Fitzpatrick

                  The mom-est of the moonwalkers, Jamie loves to visit her for tea and hugs and long talks when he's feeling out of sorts. Eve is super supportive and he hopes he offers as much comfort to her as she does to him.



            Falco Marks

                  He has a really cute cat that Jamie wouldn't mind petting sometime.



            Finn Derouen

                  He's a park ranger and that's really cool, because Jamie wants to be a park ranger, too. This guy's gonna help him out with the junior ranger program and it's something he's super excited about.



            Horace Nokoni

                  Their chat after meeting outside the funeral parlor (of all places) actually made Jamie feel a lot better about a lot of things. He appreciated it.



            Isobel Penrose

                  It was strange meeting someone as shy as him, but nice, too. Jamie hopes he really can show her all the games he plays like he promised he would. Having another friend his age would be pretty great...



            Jeremiah Mercer

                  Even if it's hard not to think of Jeremiah as a cop and authority figure first, Jamie still appreciates him for all the help he's been. If there's anyone he'd trust to watch his back and guide him, it's Jer.



            Juniper Wilcox

                  Thinking about her upsets him. While he (sort of) understands what Juniper was trying to do, it's hard to remember the way she pushed him to try on the skirt without his stomach getting twisted. It's been a while since he's been back to the store she works at.



            Kaleb Sullivan

                  It's actually kind of nice to know there are people out there are shy as he is and that he's not alone. Jamie hopes they can be good friends. Shiloh seems to like Kaleb, anyway.



            Leila Townhome

                  Wife to fox-mom. Jamie doesn't know her all that well, but she gets a 'pretty cool' pass in his book for being married to Eve.



            Lily Babineaux

                  Like a super fun big sister, Jamie really cares for Lily. She gives great hugs and is really good at play wrestling and has the best YouTube channel—in Jamie's humble option, of course. He hopes her fight with Shiloh doesn't leave any lasting bad impressions...



            Lucas Reis

                  A strong pillar of support within the pack, Jamie trusted Lucas with a lot, but he hasn't seen him recently and wonders if something bad happened.



            Melany Dubhslaine

                  Jamie wants to believe she's different because Shiloh believes.



            Oliver Beaumont

                  Someone to spend quiet, relaxing moments with, Jamie enjoys time with Ollie. Now that he's also apparently a moonwalker, Jamie feels a pretty strong urge to try and guide him in a way he and the others weren't.



            Preacher Maria

                  After she chased him around like prey and nearly gave him a heart attack, Jamie's decidedly wary despite the fact Preacher is a moonwalker, too.



            Shun Kuroda

                  He's intimidating, but Jamie respects him and looks to him for some form of guidance. If nothing else, he's legitimately grateful for his help convincing his grandma to tone down the stubbornness.



            Temperance Clark

                  Jamie is honestly pretty unsure how he feels about Temperance. He's unhappy with her trying so hard to save Melany, the one who kidnapped and tortured Shiloh, and that makes it pretty difficult to trust her.



            Zachary Bantock

                  Meeting someone who made him feel like he wasn't the only one struggling made Jamie want to hold his head up a little higher. He hopes Zac accomplishes everything he wanted to.



            Gloom NPC!!__

                  A weird little guy, but helpful. Jamie doesn't know much about him, but sometimes when he dreams, he keeps an eye out just in case.



            Heliodora NPC!!__

                  She helped teach him and Shiloh magic, something Jamie is eternally grateful for. He's only sorry they couldn't save her...



            Lady NPC!!__

                  Jamie put a lot of trust in her despite knowing nothing about her, and though he hasn't seen her in a while (despite wishing he could), he still thinks about her from time to time.



            The Prideful One NPC!!__

                  After he loosely guided the moonwalkers when no one else would, Jamie grew intrigued about just who Pridey was. Not that he's learned anything, but the thoughts are still there.



            Renard Leroux NPC!!__

                  Everyone seems to pretty well dislike Renard, but Jamie isn't quite sure yet how he feels. After seeing Sibyl in the past, it's difficult to completely dismiss him as someone with nothing but ill intent, but he's not letting his guard down.



            Sonny NPC!!__

                  He wanted her to be human, and he's not really sure what their newly recreated world did to her, but he's vaguely wary because of her relationship to Shiloh and the other principles.



          The Spinel Lady NPC!!__

                She did things to Shiloh that no one deserves.
