KAELAN RATHBONE ( native oc, transport from england )
— energy reaper / kleptopath
— CAN BE AU'D AS A MUTANT TBH
— survives off the energy of those around him, must refill fairly regularly or he suffers/dies, originally grows up emitting addictive pheromones so people will be automatically desirous of his company and he can either sit near them, hold their hand, kiss them, any kind of nearness or body contact to absorb their shit
— eventually learns if he can just avoid being a complete dick (THIS IS DIFFICULT) they might keep him company of their own volition and maybe that's ok too idk I GUESS
— so he is both an addict and addictive
— clearly he requires makeouts for survival so you know come at
— people accuse him of being a complete sociopath; he's able to turn it on and off so fast it's like whiplash: OK I FILLED UP THE TANK UR DISMISSED CIAO BABE
— the thing is he's not a sociopath, he's just so good at acting he believes his own performance
— something'll happen during his chardev arc to wake him up i'm sure, that's what i live for
— he killed his mother (accidentally) in utero; they had to c-section retrieve him; he sucked the life out of her (hello, massive emotional scarring right out the gate)
— his father was the magic bearer, made the mistake of trying to make a life with a human wife
— kind of hates his father for being so stupid and selfish that he couldn't see that coming, when in reality his father tried in vain to get his mom to abort him because he was afraid of exactly that
— so they both blame the other (super healthy father-son relationship)
— English father was only too eager to ship him off to boarding school in america, age-old british punishment, TO THE COLONIES WITH YOU
— basically this motherfucker is Lonely AF dear christ
— will dissect the planes and past cr and such later!!! more to come!!!
