basic info CATHERINE ELIZABETH "cat" CHANCEY age. 28 job. cafe owner / barista / grudging supernatural yellow pages Cat comes from a world where just about every mythical creature you've ever heard of is real. They're just a little different from how the myths portray them, and none of them originated on Earth. Or at least, not on her Earth. Supernaturals slipped through the cracks in the universes at some point and decided, hey, we might as well stick around. They procreated with humans, with other supernaturals, and formed an underground community that's been becoming less underground as the years go on, but still fairly hidden. Catherine Chancey, known as Cat to her friends, is herself a supernatural. She's a skinchanger, able to turn into a massive black wolf. Which sure surprised her adoptive parents when they took home a toddler and discovered a wolf pup in her bed the next morning. The odd thing, though, is that she also has the ability to turn intangible and, if she concentrates real hard, invisible. It's something she discovered as a teenager. When she went off to college and started searching for other supernaturals, she met Ri, a dryad who would become her best friend, and Sullivan, a vampire accountant. They told her all about the things that went bump in the night, how to deal with them, and why it was so weird that she had more than one ability--supernaturals only ever inherited powers from one parent. Cat was an anomaly. She was fascinated by this and dove into research headfirst. Ri and Sullivan tried to keep her away from the worst parts of the supernatural world, but Cat, wide-eyed and determined, didn't listen. At least, not until a group of vampires she'd crossed crashed her car. Cat, with her intangibility, survived. Her father didn't. Cat stopped looking for answers. She quietly finished college and, with the help of Ri and Sullivan, eventually took over the coffee and wine bar, Mooncents, she'd been working at while finishing up her degree. Thanks to all her research, she became something of an unwilling Yellow Pages for all the supernaturals in the area who often visited Mooncents. But she always refused to get involved with any of the drama, making her cafe a safe, unaffiliated space. Life went on. She worked, she went home, she hung out with Ri, with Sully, with her brother Gideon and his daughter Lydia. It was a steady, boring life, and Cat convinced herself it was better that way. Better if she didn't get involved. And then one day trouble in the form of a newly-turned werewolf college student stumbled into Mooncents. And Cat, mother hen that she always denies she is, couldn't help but take the kid, Caleb, under her wing, giving him a job and a crash course in what it means to be a supernatural--and how to keep what happened to her father from ever happening to him or the people he loved. personality CARING — Though she'll make a face any time someone calls her out on it, Cat is a giant mother hen. She tries not to, but she cares about humanity in general. And when it comes to the people she's claimed as hers? She is fiercely loyal and protective. Say you need a hand, and she'll be there in a flash. Her friends and family are the only people she'd be willing to break out of her comfortable shell for, and given how tightly she holds onto that, it's saying a lot. INTELLIGENT — She's a nerd. Like, seriously. She majored in Literature and minored in Anthropology. (And then proceeded to do nothing with those degrees, but that's another matter all together.) While numbers and hard science aren't her thing, Cat's the kind of person who is always educating herself, reading articles and books on new things. She enjoyed writing papers in college and kind of misses it sometimes. She's also pretty emotionally intelligent as well, able to pick up on the mood of a room fast and understand the way people's minds work once she gets to know them. STEADY — Or, as my great-aunt might put it, "set in her ways." Cat's made a decision about her life and how she wants to live it, and she's gonna stick to that as much as she can, goddammit. She's the kind of person you can rely on to keep a level head, to talk you out of shit and into something more normal, and to (attempt to) never get involved in the crazy that surrounds her. Sometimes this can be a weakness, but the ability to be chill and relaxed in herself is also one of her greatest strengths. JADED — She has Seen Some Shit in her life, and that's left her more than a little bitter and cynical. Cat's not the type to believe in the goodness of man. She's suspicious of charity, always expects that things can get worse, and is pessimistic as all get-out. She's also rather vocal about this, which can sometimes piss people off. JUDGEMENTAL — While she may not be the type to judge a book by its cover, Cat does tend to make snap judgments about a person based on things they say or do in a first interaction. She remembers all the petty little things people say, and she's the type to hold a grudge until well after the cows come home. PASSIVE — This is more a choice than an innate character trait. After her father died, ostensibly because of a mistake she made, Cat decided that was it. She was keeping her nose out of things and only getting involved in situations she absolutely had to. This is sometimes at odds with her protective mama wolf tendencies, but she's a stubborn ass determined to try and stick to it, even when it chafes. thread info I know OCs can be a little ehhh in DWRP, so no pressure to tag back if I tag you on a meme. In text threads and memes in a similar vein, I generally assume that there's a bit of a world overlap for that thread so neither party has to break their own world mechanics or get into the "we're somehow texting across dimensions" thing. In any other kind of thread, I can pretty easily AU Cat into most urban/modern fantasy settings and have no problem doing a "one person slid into another's world" if that's what would be easiest. I'm most interested in gen threads, shenanigans, and people Cat can sarcastically mom friend at. Cat's the kind of person that would hop into casual hookups easily but not a relationship, so shipping would take some build-up and discussion, but flirting and such is a-okay. permissions BACKTAGGING. Yes, please! I can be slow sometimes so backtagging is my favorite. PHYSICAL AFFECTION. This is perfectly alright. PHYSICAL VIOLENCE. This is also cool! Just no death or quality of life altering injuries without talking to me first. TELEPATHY. Anything in my brackets is fair game. lmk if you want to do something more in-depth and I can getcha some internal exposition goin'. MAGIC. She is very susceptible to magic, despite technically being magic herself. If your character can sense magic in/on other people, they'll likely notice she has runes tattooed around her left knee that are almost always active, and that she's got a certain otherworldly feel to her. CONTENT WARNINGS. I would appreciate a heads up if a thread will involve discussion of rape or suicide.
