Name: Halston O'Hea
Nickname: Hals, Oh Hey! , Halsey
Age: 27
Birthday: July 23, 1989
Sign: Leo
Gemstone: Dumortierite
Fav. Food: Pomegranate? Oh, you said favorite food, not favorite fruit...
Hated Food: Animal crackers. The bland, cardboard ones that are vaguely like sweet crackers.
School: Knightside -> Azure Valley -> DCU Grad (Theater Major)
Hobbies:
Fire Spinning - When Halston was five he wanted a baton-- a silver baton with rubber stoppers on either end, weighted perfectly for twirling like the majorettes he saw on the screen during the halftimes of the college football games his father watched with his older brother. When he was fifteen he attended auditions for Destiny City Community Color Guard and while he didn't quite make the cut he was approached by a member of a different community. At age sixteen Hals ordered his first baton online with his mother's credit card, preparing to attend the first meeting of the Wheel in the Sky fire spinning group and he's been doing it ever since. The dance with fire is just dangerous enough to be thrilling. The passion and creativity that goes into planning a routine, from selecting the music to picking which medium to work with (batons, swords, fans, poi) gives him something to focus on... And the attention he gets from it? Well, that's not all that bad either.
Karaoke - While he may not have the flare that some of his friends have for certain forms of stage performance, Halston never misses a chance to show off his vocal range at karaoke night. His preference in song ranges and he'll even take requests, as long as the attention is all on him until the end of the set. Just... Do him a favor and don't invite his brother, alright? He always insists on duets and he really can't sing.
Virtues:
Confident - "Yes We I Can" - Halston has never lacked in the confidence department. As a second son once might think that he'd take the back-burner to his older brother, but he was determined to stand his own and find ways to set himself apart. He thrives off of performing in front of others. Public speaking? Not a problem either. Why would it be when he knows he's that good and he's got what it takes.
Charismatic - "Like a Moth to the Flame" - Sometimes it's just about drawing them in, and Halston has a way of doing it. Often a side effect of the confidence, he just likes to consider it his charm. He might lack the brute strength that was passed on to his big bro, but there are certainly other ways to go about getting what you want.
Passionate - "All or Nothing" - Passion isn't just for dollar store romance novels. Passion is real. It comes from the heart and it sings through the soul. When Hals finds something to dedicate himself to he does so wholly, giving his all and easily pouring his everything into it.
Flaws:
Self Centered - "All About Me" - The most important thing to Halston growing up was himself... Which was difficult, considering he grew up with an overbearing older brother. As the youngest he should have been the center of his mother's universe and the light in his father's eyes. Why couldn't they see how much smarter he was? How much better he was? Not that it mattered. Even if they didn't have time for him he found ways to make himself the star anyways.
Pessimistic - "Never My Way" -No matter how much confidence and charisma he exudes, deep down Halston knows that things just aren't going to work the way he wants them to. Why would they? They're just destined to go wrong because they've already gone right for someone else-- No, really, this is a terrible idea. It's even worse of an idea if it wasn't his to begin with. The sun isn't going to come out tomorrow... It's just going to rain all day.
Moody - "Temper temper" - Halston is a pot of water always on a low boil and all it takes is a nudge for it to bubble over. He tends to lash out verbally more than physically-- why get your hands dirty when there are so many other ways you can ruin someone? Like getting someone else to do it, for example... His temper can be hot and explosive with grudges long lasting. Fool me once and never again.

An antique looking bottle with a worn out, faded label on the front. Although it is peeling, you can barely make out the label's writing... which does you no good because the words are in some foreign language you can't seem to decipher. The contents inside are murky and brown but with a strange, almost tantalizing scent that wafts from the bottle when you uncork it. If you're brave enough to consume the contents, falling asleep will produce not only a deep sleep but 1-2 dreams of a very realistic scene. These scene(s) imply it's a premonition of something to come - maybe it's a death of a loved one? a heartbreak in your future? your own death? - and when you awaken, you have a dreadful feeling about it as you recollect the dream. It's up to you whether or not you believe it's part of your future... but you may want to be careful, just in case. The entire bottle must be consumed for the effect to work and after it has been finished off, you are left with the mysterious, yet oddly pretty glass bottle as a keepsake.
