cryptic's character dictionary
Delaney Sophia Jones23 | Female | quiet & self-assuredDelaney possesses some very boyish features. She dresses in men's attire and utilizes many of their mannerisms. Growing up, she was often teased for her demeanor and clothing but has come to accept it as part of her person. Though quiet, she can be very assertive at times. She's not afraid of voicing her opinion aloud. Because of her background, she's very defensive, often challenging another's words despite their lack of animosity.Faceclaim: Lea Seydoux
Loni Eleanor Simons27 | Female | whimsical & sweetLoni's a very imaginative, very active mind. To channel this energy, she pursues the sciences and art - often trying to expand her horizons through knowledge and creativity. Her attire has become something of a game as she tries to find a theme for each week and dress accordingly. Whether this be punk or romantic, she'll find a way. Because of her nature, she can be easily manipulated. She's naive and far too quick to trust.Faceclaim: Yasmin Wijnaldum Ruth NeggaFinley "Finn" Joanne Adler27 | Female | assertive & selfish Finley's a few dozen tattoos on her back, torso, and shoulders. She's put them in places that are readily concealed by garments. She is largely someone who does things in her own interest and seldom for another unless it somehow benefits herself. It takes strong connections or valid reasons to break her of this. She is bisexual.Faceclaim: Nadja AuermannBenjamin "Ben" Howard Hughes24 | Male | ambitious & manipulativeBen is on the fence about his sexuality. He's never really exhibited any attachment or favor of liking to any one person in particular. He knows he attracted to certain people but this can be to someone of any gender or orientation. He's the strange assumption he's gay (or at least bi) and it terrifies him.Faceclaim: Gaspard Ulliel Fredric Ferro Delgado36 | Male | quaint & compassionateFaceclaim: Perdro Pascal
Names: Maverick, Malachi & Enoch, Jamie

[ nah! that would be cool. ^^ as for a plot that kind of incorporates that, did you want to do a plot about paranormal investigation? i kind of had the idea that a small team travels cross country debunking and solving mysteries involving the unknown. thus far, all they've encountered have been hoaxes but a new investigation may test everything they believe. they go to a mansion and it's actually haunted or a forest were some mystical beast may actually live. your charrie could use hypnotism to help in their investigations or something. mine could be a lead, the one who plans everything. does this sound okay or. . ?]

[ ah! like, mine could be skeptical about everything they investigate. he knows it's not real but yours is the believer. she tries convincing him and he won't have any of it. the intro bit sounds fantastic! maybe they're in town staying at a hotel and, to get a little money before they move on, she does this. ]

(Yesss) "Come one, come all, to see a great magic show!" A young woman called out, standing on the edge of a fountain in front of a rather swanky hotel. The girl, no older than nineteen, was wearing black dress pants and a white dress blouse, her long, thick dark brown hair pulled into a tight bun. She quickly gained an audience, and she began wooing them with a few simple tricks. "Now, first off, why don't we start out with a simple card trick? What about you there, come on up and pick a card, any card." She said, picking a young looking boy, maybe only six years old. The little boy giggled, looking at his mum, who nodded, and he ran up, grabbing a card from Ajax's hand. "Okay, you see your card? Now I'm going to close my eyes and your going to show it to everyone in the audience, okay?" The boy nodded, and Ajax closed her eyes, covering her face with her hands. "Does everyone see it?" She asked, and everyone responded with a yes. "Alright, now give me back the card" She instructed, and the boy placed it infront of the girls outstretched hand, and she shuffled the card back into the deck. She then cut the deck, and picked out a card, "Is this your card?" The boy shook his head, looking rather disappointed. "Hmm.. Thats strange, lets try something, can you kiss the deck, for good luck?" She asked, and the boy nodded, and did so. "Alright, how about now?" Still, it was the wrong card. "Okay, Okay, maybe its not in the deck, but..." She reached over, grabbing behind the boys ear. In her hand, was a small folded card. "Now, is this your card?" She asked, unfolding the card, and a collective gasp came from the crowd. The boy giggled, and nodded. "Alright, alright. So, how about some Hypnotism? Anyone believe in that?" There was a chorus of yesses and no's from the crowd. "Aww, really? Some of you don't believe in it? Well, what if I show you that its real?" She asked, before grabbing a young man who said he didn't believe in it. "Now you see... Its all about persuasion, right?" She asked, wagging her finger teasingly at the audience. She then turned to the young man, adding, "So, I could always start with "You feel yourself getting very sleepy..." But thats no fun. Instead, I'm going to ask all of you to close your eyes, and imagine that your on the top of the stairs that have 20 steps on them. With every step, your going to get more and more relaxed.." She counted slowly down to 20, seeing her audience was completely enthralled. She walked around them, all of their eyes closed as she softly whispered suggestions in their ear. She slipped her hands into pockets, purses, anything really, grabbing money and slipping it into her own purse. "Now, open your eyes. You guys feel pretty relaxed, right? You to, mr. doubting thomas?" She asked. The young man nodded. "Good. Now Sleep." She grabbed his arm, giving it a firm tug and the man collapsed, fast asleep on the ground. There was a gasp from the audience, excited to see this magic at work, "Now, in my hand is a sleep dart. If you get hit by it, your going to go fast asleep, right?" She asked, shooting the imaginary dart at people, these citizens falling asleep right and left.

someplace in canada || ben & ajax
Ben stood in silence as he watched the secondhand on his watch move. It sent every second away with a small tick, its message short and sweet. Clipping it onto his wrist, he turned swiftly toward the bed in his room. On it a roadmap was neatly spread, various notes and circles scrawled over its surface. Folding it again, he tucked it into the back pocket of his trousers and took up his dress coat. His luggage already in hand, he threw it over his arm and started toward the door.
He wasn't quite sure what he'd expected but the scene that greeted him somewhat matched what he'd had in mind. The parking lot was mostly vacant aside from a few cars and - to the far side by the neighboring gas station - a crowd. Heading toward the car, he kept an eye on the noise, trying to gather enough information to piece together a proper explanation. It wasn't till he heard the voice that he confirmed the commotion's cause. With a disappointed grimace, he popped the truck and raised the hood.
Placing his luggage inside, he shut it with a loud thud, trying to draw attention. She neglected to acknowledge it. A sigh escaped his lips and he ducked his head, debating on whether to interrupt her small skit. Tossing the keys in his hands, he stuffed them into his pocket and made his way over. There was a collection of awed gasps from the crowd - most, if not all, buying Ajax's tricks. Pushing his way through, he stepped toward the young girl, clapping his hands. "Great, yes," he said looking around. Shooting her a pointed glare he nodded back towards their vehicle. "Play times over. We've got to go." Glancing at the collapsed townsfolk, he stifled the urge to roll his eyes.

(Oh I like that idea ) "Ah, looks like I gotta go now. " She said, jumping off of the fountain, the 5'2'' girl smirking as she made her way through the crowd, walking straight passed Ben, before tossing a comment over her shoulder, "You guys can wake up,now." And just like that, the citizens who where fast asleep woke up, looking rather confused. "Hey, Benny, you look a little... Annoyed? Whats up?" She asked, swinging herself into the passenger side of the car. She was trusting that her partner had grabbed her things from the hotel room as well, or she'd have to use the money she... earned to get her some new clothes. She leaned over, switching on the radio to her favorite station, country, and waited for him to get in the car.
"Y'know I could have gotten more money if you let me play them a little longer," She added, putting her card deck into her pocket, and pulling a single card, an Ace of Spades, out of her pocket and flicking it towards him. The card was actually a sleeve, not an actual playing card, and, inside it was a small sim card filled with some data she had gathered about a haunting nearby. No doubt thats what he had grabbed her for. She pulled her hair out of the bun, her hair falling down to the middle of her waist as she waited for Bens response, tempted to use the name Benny again just to get a rise out of him.

Connie had been lingering outside by Ajax's little show, a smirk on her face. She sat on the side of the fountain, a leg folded up beside her, running a hand through her feathery red hair. Unlike Ben, she knew how to have fun every once in awhile. In particular, watching a bunch of people be fascinated by Ajax's tricks tended to be highly entertaining. She liked to see the little kids enjoy it. Besides the obvious cute factor, she liked to see people who maybe, one day, do things like them. Tiny investigators!
Watching her companion steal things from the oblivious crowd, Connie could only shake her head, turning away, back towards the tablet in her hands. On it, she had about ten billion tabs open. Some of them were meaningless, a video on snakes or something. Most, however, were actually relevant. Articles on the recent news of where they were headed, history, pages on various cryptids, videos and spoken accounts of what had been "seen" out there. Hopefully, things that would be helpful on their endeavors.
A male voice rang through the crown, Connie's attention drawn upwards. Oh shoot, fun's over. She gripped the tablet tightly, pushing herself off the fountain and maneuvering towards the car before she would get tossed into Ajax's lecture. Already sitting in the back of the vehicle by the time "the troublemaker" and "dad" had arrived, she leaned to the side a bit, glancing between the two. "Everything... Good?"

"Hey Con, enjoy the show?" She asked with a smirk, twisting herself around to get a good look at the red-head. She didn't quite answer the girls question as, truthfully? She didn't know. Instead she grabbed the money out of the bag and handed it to Connie, trusting her a lot more than she did herself. Ajax had the tendency to go and buy new things, from equipment to new items for her little tricks. And food. A lot of junk food. It was a pretty bad habit of hers, so it was unanimously decided that she should be the procurer of money, not the holder of it. Honestly she was hoping on avoiding a lecture on how stealing was "immoral" and how she needed to stop conning people with her tricks, because they where just "childish." But, alas, old habits die hard. She had been using magic and hypnotism to get what she wanted since she was nine. In fact, she attempted to hypnotize Ben when she first met him, and that went over horribly.

Over the short time Ben had known Ajax, he'd come to expect her antics. The hypnosis and the card tricks - they were no more than show, something to distract the crowd as she stole them blind. Walking around to the driver's side of the car, he pulled open the door and took his seat, glaring at Ajax for her use of his name. Dismissing it, he instead caught the sleeve in his hands, staring at it long and hard as he searched for the right words. Connie's voice spoke from the backseat but it went unheard as he turned the sleeve over. He could shout until his face turned blue but, honestly, what hadn't he already told her? He was exhausted of trying to convince someone who simply would not listen. His efforts were wasted. Passing the card back to Connie - knowing she'd better be able to read it than he - he started the car and pulled out of the lot. "Have you got anymore news?" He asked simply, choosing to ignore Ajax altogether. Glancing up into the mirror, he made sure Connie knew the question was directed at her before quickly shifting his focus to the road.

(XD XD yay your back!! and omg I'm loving Ben already.) Ajax let out a soft snort not understanding how he couldn't be amused by her tricks. She worked hard at them, and the least he could do was offer her a chuckle. Yet, for the brief period the three had worked together, Ajax quickly found out that he was all work and no play. He even hated it when she called him Benny, whereas she would love for him and Connie to call her AJ. The only thing she was surprised on was that she wasn't getting lectured at this point. She decided not to give him back his wallet, which she had stolen for laughs, but since he was being this way she decided to keep it. For now, at least. "Y'know I might have some news, too." She grumped, putting her feet on the dash.

Connie laughed, giving a shake of her head. "Yes, but my dear AJ, your news is usually more along the lines of "I found these sick gummy worms ya gotta try one." Or "I think I've figured out a way to teleport the Statue of Liberty."" She squinted for a moment, mentally flipping through her memories. She was pretty positive she'd read about someone doing that as a magic trick. Of course, this was hyperbole of the girl's actions. The point still stood: Connie was far more focused on their job than Ajax normally was. After all, her job was something that she had been fascinated with her entire life. It was hardly even a job. Taking the card out of the sleep, she not-so-carefully shoved it into the tablet, which like many tablets nowadays, was practically a computer. "Ah, nothing much. Well- nothing new, I mean. Mostly the same old, same old. Tragic and bloody history of settlement, murders occurring repeatedly in the same buildings, weird lights at night, screams from the forest. The whole shabang you'd expect. But- and I don't remember if I mentioned this -" The young woman leaned forward, a wide grin across her face. She was far too giddy about this information. "This story ain't our usual fairy tale. It's got cannablism. And do you know what that means?"

"Meat pies?" Ajax asked with a smirk, rather interested in the case herself. She had done some research, which was the only reason why the sim card was currently in Connies hands. True, most of her news had to do with unnecessary things, but, hey, with how dark and rather scary they're job could get, working with anything supernatural, there needed to be some form of comedic relief. She took it upon herself to be that relief. The girl grinned at Connie, wondering if she could make the Statue of Liberty teleport. Nothing like millions of panicked Americans to make her day.

[ bwa, thanks! connie and ajax aren't so bad either. ajax is quite the character. haha. cx ]
Pursing his lips, Ben stared hard at the stretch of road before them. He'd half the mind to break at the sound of Ajax's voice and scream at her. Waiting patiently for Connie's reply, he took the map from his back pocket and tossed it into Ajax's lap. "Make sure we're on the right track," he mumbled, glaring at her feet, "and get your shoes off my dash." Gripping the steering wheel tight, he prayed she not say anything else to him. Listening to Connie, he grimaced. Most of their hunts didn't involve much death, at least in the present. They were simple abnormalities that had sparked interest in recent years. This case, however, was different. He'd done enough research to at least hint at what Connie was saying. They were dealing with wendigos.
