Father Priest is perhaps the worst neighbor Alcott has ever had. The man is always looking for an opportunity to scream that he's going to Hell.
He knows - KNOWS - the man is a horrible sinner and spies on him every chance he can to catch him in the act. Also likes to throw small bibles at his window and insult his sin infested lawn.
Smiley once tried to break into the Father's house to help him smile, but instead was attacked by seven cats before getting a bible thrown at his face.
No demon (not even human ones) can HOPE to fight the holy warrior IN HIS OWN HOME!
With both being Sins, they're coworkers. Nikolai doesn't visit very often, though when he does he finds Jet's bursts of anger more amusing rather than irritating like everyone else does. He enjoys teasing the man, though he himself never plays the slots. That requires too much focus. No, he'd rather watch the magic shows and guest stars.
They're coworkers, in a way, with him being Greed and Nikolai Sloth. The lazy guy visits very rarely, but when he does he's absolutely annoying to the CEO. He flirts with all the workers, including him! AND HIS BROTHER!! That is, if he's not sleeping somewhere. Despite how much of a bum he is, Jet can't help but feel like Nikolai's already a step ahead of him.
[Related] One day all of Valentine's workers noticed their boss acting strangely - which for him was saying something. He claimed to be in love with the most beautiful enchantress. After about a week, the workers learned that this strange attitude was caused by Valentine being accidentally sprayed with his own love potion perfume, making him fall for the lady. It took them time to take away the effects, but by then the woman Valentine "loved" was already pregnant with their daughter.
Valentine loves Valeria very much and guides her in everything romance and love, but having children was never something he expected to have, and it shows in the many time he spaces out and forgets something he had to do for her.
Valeria loves her dad, since she could only recall him as his only family member. Despite how careless and how much of a airhead his father is, she could only appreciate his existence.
Frederick is aware that Cecil is his boss, but he does not respect him. He sees Cecil as a brat with a bad attitude, even if he's older than him. He'll do his work, but he won't interact with him otherwise.
Like he is with Cameron, Cecil is Frederick's boss. Unlike Cameron, however, Frederick seems to mind his business and does his work diligently. He has a kind of attitude, the chief notices, with the way he blatantly ignore him at times.
He has no idea that Frederick is the Nightingale, and instead gets impatient with the lack of evidence the detective has gotten over the infamous assassin.
Cameron acknowledges Cecil as his boss, but he still has tons of fun teasing the poor guy. He loves making fun of his height and his young looks, enjoying the angry reactions he gets. Occasionally he'll invite the chief to karaoke with him, although that could be just to watch the bar staff treat him like a child.
Cecil is Cameron's boss. He's always trying to get that goof to stop playing around and take his job seriously. All he gets in return are short jokes.
[Related] Back then Jackson always resisted attempts of his uncle trying to take care of him. All he wanted was to stay by his mom and maybe once just get her attention. But he's older now and he's thankful for all his uncle's done. Still, if he won't take on the Master Thief title, then Jackson will just have to do it for him!
[Related] When his sister began losing her way due to her husband's sudden leaving, Cecil had to take care of Jackson for the most part. The boy didn't like having to leave his mother, so it was a usual struggle between the two. However, Jackson's grown into a fine young man... even if he IS a famous criminal.
Grandfather discovered this man in his house - a very unexpected precedent for the both of them. Then Atticus saved him from potential death. Since then their relationship grew, whether it's because of both of their attractions towards each other or perhaps something beyond that.
Jackson tends to break into houses that aren't occupied and spend a few days there before bouncing to the next house. His only problem this time was that he didn't expect the owner of the house to show up so soon! Not like he didn't mind, considering the owner was a handsome elder. They had fun moments until Grandfather ended up protecting him from Smiley. Ever since then Jackson has been very close to him, whether it's through a relationship or him just needing a thief to do some dirty work for him.
Smiley had been visiting a happy family when a strange, young man decided to join in. Who was he to deny the boy? Unfortunately, before he could deliver the final blow, the young man escaped. Smiley often wonders where the man ran off to, and if they'll ever meet again. He looks forward to it.
It was supposed to be a simple break in- a family went on vacation and he'd use their house for a day or two. When he went inside, however, he was instead met with a gruesome sight, accompanied by a man with a paper bag over his head. The man nearly killed him, but Jackson managed to escape. Along with the traumatizing memories, he has a scar on his hand to remind him of the dangers this job can have. Jackson fears that he'll run into the infamous murderer again, and he won't be able to escape.
One of the biggest thorns in Jet's side is the Master Thief. Even his Sin powers can't stop that dumb jerk from his stupid heists. He'll catch that Master Thief if it's the last thing he does!
What more could a thief ask for than a guy as rich as Jet? Jackson LOVES to steal from Jet's businesses, especially his casinos. And the reactions? Priceless.
Despite his best friend doesn't appreciate Terry's company, Chanse thinks the complete opposite. He treats Terry as a friend by taking him out to places during his free time, like buying him coffee at the nearest cafe and buy him desserts and other foods.
He doesn't tell him, but he often takes Terry to a few restaurants here and there every time Hope isn't available (since he's spending time with Emery).
Chanse usually buys lunch so Terry thinks he's a swell guy. Likes to go to lunch with him just so he can order a lot of desserts.
They teach in the same elementary school, but through different grades. Their classrooms are next to each other. Yet, he comes to his classroom sometimes to sleep on his couch and using his high-end coffee machine.
Hope doesn't dislike him, but he is definitely indifferent because he doesn't understand how he became teacher of the year.
But shouldn't he be blaming the other teachers and the school board for such a thing? Eitherway, Hope thinks that he deserves the reward.
They work at the same school, but with different grades. Hope uses his sofa, so Terry flaunts his award. He doesn't know how he got it either, but he loves seeing the pretty boy get all worked up over it.
Viktor shares the same feelings with Reed and holds similar personal secrets. He's quite concerned for Reed's well-being, knowing that something he's gone through has affected him quite harshly. Konstantinov only now wants to be by his side forever and get back on their feet to start over again.
[Lovers] Reed had always felt some kinship to Viktor with both of their tragic pasts, though he could never understand how the Russian could stay so strong and keep from breaking down. He was a rough man to be around, but in the end, Reed feels he owes his life to him for opening his eyes and helping him out of that dark pit in his life.
[Rival] If Reed hadn't come and swooped in, Terry would have been the band director. Now instead of teaching what he STUDIED to do, he babysits fourth graders and catches all of their colds!
[Rival?] He doesn't see the teacher very often, but when he does, the man is glaring at him. He's never interacted with him and doesn't know what he's done.
[Rival] There is no restriction on age for a target, that means children can be one too. Frederick has long taken the emotion out of his hits, and feels nothing for taking the life of Reed's daughter. She wasn't the first, and she definitely won't be the last.
[Rival] He doesn't know WHO the Nightingale is, but he wants them dead after taking his daughter's life.
[AU - Love Interest] If there's one thing Reggie hates, it's a thief. No matter the reason, one should never take from his beloved workers. And that's exactly what Laron did. Of course, he was caught. However, despite coming face to face with Reggie's true self, the young man kept returning. Not to buy or to steal, but to visit. The manager, though, is wary and cautious, unaware of the young man's true intentions.
Once upon a time, Laron had decided to steal something. Actually, it was way more than once, but I digress. Anyways, he felt like stealing something from a certain supermarket; little did he know he walked into the wrong store. Upon heading to the store, he caught sight of a very special man: Reggie Ster. For some reason, Laron was simply smitten by him. Due to this newfound crush, he couldn't properly steal anything. He was quickly caught, yet he was let off easy. Now, he frequently visits the store, only to talk to the ever-apprehensive Reggie.
He'd only crave for the love and happiness he always wanted in his life since that accident that risked his whole future. Then another unfortunate event where he thought this quiet love life of his would last forever, instead she left him and disappeared that only left him with such meaningful last memories. He heard rumors of a small place where he overheard his coworkers, where they all had achieved their love life - Chanse figured he could try it out.
He left the store and then came back with no avail - a month later with the cologne all used up and there was no affect. Of course, Valentine had took notice of it - and he works hard to be able to grant Chanse's small wish.
Chanse wasn't really sure what he's doing - but the notable benefit is that he always smells good and gets it for free.
The entire reason Valentine opened up shop at the mall was to help people fall in love. That's not just a job, it's his purpose in life. So when a sad, empty man walks into his store, Valentine knows exactly what to do. However, he didn't expect his cologne to have no effect on Chanse. Was it that the curse of loneliness was too strong around him? That was just unacceptable. So Valentine set his focus on enhancing his cologne, changing ingredients and making it better, and he always beckons Chanse over when the newest batch is done so he can try it out. Valentine absolutely won't rest until he's help that man find someone.
Viktor's "daughter" is one of the best friend of Alcott's son, Motto - which is how they've met. Viktor eventually hangs out with him and Arson, usually drinking and smoking together outside of a backyard. Although, he's annoyed by the fact they his two friends are often screwing around whether he's with them or not.
A drinking/smoking friend. Has a habit of accidentally forgetting about him when he's trying to woo Arson.
[Related] Motto's father. Alcott's still baffled as to why he decided to stay with him despite his blatant hatred that sparked after the divorce. In his opinion, the kid's stuck in his rebellious phase, and loves to be a real pain in the ass at times - most likely got it from his mother. Motto does seem to like history, much to Alcott's relief, although only Eastern history...
One of Alcott's son - and the middle child. Although he has mixed feelings towards his father, he feels a bit more connection to him rather than his mother. People say that he's always quiet, he's actually more vocal to his father and often argues. Motto gets mad when his father starts to tell him that he's wrong in regards to world history (since his father is a History Teacher).
[Rival] Reggie loves helping his customers and making sure they're all taken care of. It makes it really difficult when a greedy, corrupt businessman like Jet tries to ruin it. The man is very powerful, too, so Reggie's managerial powers don't effect him as much. But that doesn't mean he'll just stand there and let the jerk ruin everything!
I love them and consider them my OTP. It's not canon, but boi it just might be.
[Rival] Jet owns a very large portion of the shares in Reggie's main stores, so he often visits to inspect things. He'll always try to raise prices or to scam customers, but Reggie just HAS to get in the way. Something about treating customers like people, or something. It's annoying.
And I ship them.
It's not canon
but I D K
[Related/Rivals] Jet's older brother. He did everything he could to keep them safe, only to get sold off like some cattle. Whatever happened when he was sold made Alcott have a scorching hatred for his brother, although he can't necessarily kill him seeing as though Jet bought his freedom back.
If you try to ship someone with Alcott, you'll be insta-locked into a love triangle with Jet aiming for your heart, too.
[Related/Rivals] Alcott's younger brother, who also sold him off to make money. Jet feels bad, of course, but has spent so much time alone and obsessed with money that he doesn't really know the appropriate way to handle this situation.
So instead he angrily glares from a distance.
Incidentally, if you ship someone with Jet, you'll find yourself insta-locked in a love triangle, with Alcott competing for your heart.
They do the hot dogging and light each other's cigarettes.
They light each other's grills and handle each other's meat.
They work at the same school together. May have boned once. Twice. Several times. Neither have an interest in a relationship, however.
Alcott was a very interesting case for Nikolai. The teacher, despite his gorgeous looks, had absolutely no interest in intimacy. Naturally, the Sin pried, and as time passed he learned the reason behind it all. He was perhaps Alcott's only close friend at the time, letting him vent and even teaching him that sex can include romantic feelings and, surprise, consent. As much as he enjoyed his time with the teacher, Nikolai eventually broke it up.
Was it out of boredom?
Or did he perhaps have a moment of affection and pity that didn't want to see Alcott's heart broken again?
They work at the same school together. May have boned once. Twice. Several times. Neither have an interest in a relationship, however.
Due to Alcott's past he had been convinced that sex had nothing to do with love, only carnal desire (not including him). Nikolai was the first to teach him that you CAN have feelings while being physically intimate. The Sin was careful with his approach, building up Alcott's trust and helping ease him into the situation. It was an incredible vent for Alcott, but in the end they both knew it wouldn't work.
Although Alcott wouldn't be lying if he said he had hoped he had a chance keeping Nikolai around.
[AU-Lover] Desperate for love, Xenzis quickly found Cameron more than attractive, his power, his love for gore, all things that made Xen gravitate towards Cameron like a moth to a light. All the attention he got made him feel loved, and their mutual love for gore cemented him there.
[AU - Lover] They're the same, but different. That's what drew Cameron to Xenzis. He found the man fascinating, if not adorable, even despite the bloody gore he witnessed. He encouraged the man to be around him more, giving him all the praise and attention he wanted in return. They're a twisted pair, just how he likes it.
He wouldn't be where he is today if it wasn't for that mad scientist. Truthfully, Richard had dismissed the stories of the scientist as just that: stories. But desperation pushed him to enter the abandoned asylum anyway, to which he was surprised to find occupants inside. He barely got out alive with the serum, and now here he is, just as "happy" as the serum's creator.
It's not unusual for people to come in uninvited to Decius's "home". Honestly, he encourages it. It makes finding test subjects far more easier to find. Richard, however, was different. The young man already had a plan in mind, rather than wandering the halls in fear. He snuck past all the creatures in the asylum and managed to get his hands on the elixir. Decius doesn't know what's happened to that man, although he'd love to see what he's done with the serum.
