⇨ The Tourist Trap: OFFICIAL AU ROLE CALL

[ringleaders]

AU ROLE CALL↴ Now that you've had a week to plan, this is the official role call post for the AU. Please reply to whatever header your character is included in with a summary of their role in Portland, with your character's name in the post subject. You can just copy and paste summaries used in the plotting post if you like, though for the same of mod plotting I would ask that you name and bold any of the following in your descriptions: Organizations: If your character is in a group or organization of any kind, please bold it! This will be important for the dispensing of IC clues and NPC attention. NPC Connections: If your character has a powerful NPC of any kind that they are connection to, please list and bold them. The mods will be writing some of these NPCs into the metaplot, and we can't do that if we don't know they exist! Meetup Points: If your character runs or is affiliated with anything that could be considered a supernatural hangout, it would be useful to make them easy to find, for the sakes of people who want to know what kind of places will be available in Portland for their characters to hang out. Confirming your concepts in this post is not mandatory, but I would super appreciate anyone who does. If you do not reply to this post, your character will not be tied into the metaplot. Additionally, I will give everyone who does reply a +2 AC point bonus to their next activity check, per character they reply with. Concepts are due May 31st.

YAMATO ISHIDA (MATTHEW DURAND)

[walkonedge]

In this universe, Yamato Ishida is born as Matthew Durand. No one ever calls him Matthew, usually it's Matt. He is a werewolf who shares his spirit with a white wolf. He first discovered he was a were at age 15. As of event start, he's 18, currently having just started his final year of high school, and is currently involved in his own high school amateur rock band as an extracurricular.

His parents are French immigrants who have sort of come to terms with the fact that their son kind of changes into a wolf-beast on occasion, but to their credit, they really try to be supportive parents because they have no idea what the hell is going on. The first time Matt changed, it was in the middle of a fight when he was trying to defend an elementary school student from bullies. Thankfully, he was spotted by a teacher who had ties to The Pack and he found a mentor and stability (also learning how to control the changes and instinct), which also resulted in him being a slightly more functioning teenager with less angst and self loathing. Being introduced to The Pack also means that now he feels a responsibility for trying to spot younger weres in school that may have slipped through the net, so to speak.

In terms of connections, Matt lives in the apartment next to Greg's with his parents and occasionally pops over to say hi with gifts from his mum. He's also working a part time job doing odd jobs and things at the Sanctuary House under Helen Magnus, having started from volunteering there a year ago. He also does have an NPC girlfriend in this AU who enjoys spending time at Lambert's cat cafe, so usually he can be found there Suffering because his girlfriend is a cat person and he's a wolf.

Even if your character hasn't met him in person yet, you probably know of his online Reddit-equivalent username, which is knifeofday because I'm a loser and it's funny - he's a teenager which means he's on his phone 90% of the time and chatting is a thing also, so is lurking on supernatural-related forums/discussion threads, apparently ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
