Lucian Ramsay Faulkner
Lenore Lucretia Craven FaulknerLucian Faulkner. A man with loose, black curls and dark green eyes. A renown, but reclusive sculptor by trade. Brought up by a mother and father more concerned with earthly desires than kin.Lenore Craven. A small lady with long, flowing auburn curls and twinkling, gray eyes. A dreamer. A nurse by occupation. A love for writing and literature, Shakespearean tragedies and Greek heroes. A daughter of socialites.Lucian and Lenore met at an event hosted by Lenore's parents. Lenore's parents, Luther and Evangeline Craven, commissioned Lucian to create a sculpture for their lavish event. Lenore, whose reluctant attendance to such events were always required of her, found herself not only intrigued by the haunting creation but also the brooding sculptor in the corner.Five years later, to everyone's surprise including their own, Lucian and Lenore are married. The couple's first act of business is to adopt a handsome axolotl named Dorian.Axolotl: Dorian

H [22] Azriel Cain Riordan [wavy ginger hair, hazel eyes]
W [22] Lenore Salem (Arkwright) Riordan [curly strawberry blonde hair, green eyes]Fresh outta college, Azriel and Lenore (a couple destined from the beginning) tied the proverbial knot and moved to the house of their dreams, a punk paradise for the drummer and bassist duo. Born to goth parents each and taking to the lifestyle of metalheads in high school, Az and Len were shipped together by many a person. Already possessing a fondness and friendship, it wasn't too far of a stretch. Their Zodiacs are highly compatible, too.The two had been married not a month before Lenore had a seizure esque episode. When she came to about thirty seconds after she had passed out, she urgently asked Azriel to move the car away from any trees. That night, a huge storm came and a giant tree branch fell right where the car had been. Multiple similar instances occured before Azriel and Lenore sought help from their local mystic, who confirmed Lenore was a bona fide psychic. (A/N: rolled a 2 for story but no kiddos, so I gave Lenore the power)

H [25] Peter Vivian Edgar Willoughby wavy blond hair, hazel eyes
W [23] Rosalind Wren Lenore Willoughby curly strawberry blond hair, brown eyesIt had been a year since the Willoughbys had married and moved into a former vicarage in a charming village. It seemed the prudent, thrifty thing to do: it was a lovely house with room enough for an extension. Built of grey brick, overgrown with ivy and sold at a low price by the previous owners (who, in retrospect, may have been too hasty to dispose of such a charming property), it seemed ideal for the young couple.But it wasn't long before their marital bliss was interrupted by strange creaks, footsteps and moans. At first they thought nothing of it: the sounds of an old house settling down for the night. Maybe there were rats in the attic that needed to be dealt with. Perhaps the old pipes were to blame for the eerily whisper-like noises and the occasional icy chill when walking up a certain section of stairs.One night, when the chattering became so loud that the young couple could not sleep, Peter got out of bed at his wife's insistence - remembering to turn on the light first, lest he fall victim to a gruesome death worthy of a Gothic novel. He followed the sounds that led him to the broom cupboard under the stairs. As he opened the door to the dusty, cobwebbed room, he screamed. Rosalind immediately rushed to her husband's defence. What they found disturbed her - there were no brooms to be found, but every square inch of the walls was covered with frenetic handwriting.What was scrawled on the walls was a confession by Reverend Elias Goodwin, who had been having an illicit affair with the wife of a member of his congregation.

One of the ghosts from the graveyard next door haunts their mansion, having died in one of the front bedrooms from a suspected poisoning. They are observing the child's superpower with intrigue. They were discovered after the gold items started to disappear...

DD (2): Alma Sabrina Roth [Ginger wavy hair. Brown and hazel eyes]
Nik and Vivian have had two kids!
Tempest was born intersex and their parents have decided to raise them as non-binary so that they can choose their gender when they grow up.
On the other side, Alma is cheerful and funny kid who loves the rain and playing with her sibling.
Both of the kids look just like their father, except for their hair color (both of them shades of red) which they inherited from their maternal grandmother.One day, Tempest finds an appation in the attic and immediately tells their parents. They don't believe her at first but after the little Alma gets locked in her room and there is no explanation for it, Nik and Vivian decide to hire someone to get rid of the poltergeist. After that there aren't any other strange events and the family is able to live happy.

Leo and Vivian look like their parents in terms of hair, though Leo has green eyes(not wondering where that came from), and Vivian has her mother's hazel eyes. Ozzie looks nothing like his parents or siblings, with wavy strawberry-blonde hair and blue eyes. He was born intersex but was raised male. Vivian and Leo are convinced he's adopted, or there was a mix-up at the hospital.
But besides that, everything seems to be going smoothly. Until Leo gets hit on the head with a bucket floating mid-air, Vivian is locked out of her room, and the lights in the house hardly ever work. Vivian freaks and insists that the house is haunted, but Morrigan and Dorian conclude that there is no such thing and decide to do nothing about it. But the last straw comes when Dorian finds an apparition in the basement, and the Arkwrights hire someone to get rid of the poltergeist. After that, the haunting seem to stop. Seem to...

When they cried, the objects around them trembled, lifting from the surfaces as Bo's cries grew louder. No one knew what to make of it...Until a new nurse clocked in by the name of Millicent McMoona, a middle aged woman who dabbled in the supernatural. Under Nurse McMoona's guidance, Rosy and Onyx sought out a telekinetic who could offer them assistance in understanding Bo's strange abilities. As Bo grew older, they began to gain control over their telekinesis, using it to communicate their needs long before they began speaking. Even now, at seven years old, Bo still speaks more using objects than using their voice.

Peter and Rozz with Victor and JasonIt's been a few years since we last saw Peter and Rozz, and things are going great. Peter works as librarian at the local university. Rozz graduated with her degree in wildlife sciences and works as a chiropterologist, or a bat biologist, for the public sector. Peter and Rozz waited two years before welcoming their first baby: a little boy named Victor. Victor takes after his father, but he has Rozz's curls and her mother's green eyes. Peter and Rozz doted on Victor, a smart and soft boy like Peter. Victor stayed an only child until last year, when the couple welcomed Jason. In all honesty, they'd hoped to have another child sooner, but Rozz went back to school for her master's, and then stayed hard at work searching for an end to the white-nose syndrome epidemic. The couple were overjoyed to finally welcome Jason: a peculiar child, marked so from birth. Neither Rozz nor Peter have a family history of heterochromia, but Jason was born with one eye bright blue like his father and one deep brown. Jason's unusually quiet, hardly ever crying. In fact, he only seems to cry when someone in the home does, yell when someone in the home is angry, even if they're rooms away.
