SO, this is about Everett’s connection to the sea / water / the beach & how it intertwines with his magic. It’s both a character study as well as a piece of lore, hence the two headers!!

He was about 12 or 13 when he went on a beach trip with his family. They went to a beach in Ireland & that trip lasted about a week or so. When Everett first set foot on that particular beach, it was as if a switch flipped with him after that. His magic had been developing at a relatively normal pace, but still considerably impressive. That beach, however, seemed to awaken something deep inside of him.

There was a pull, deep down into his bones, to not only spend so much time there, but to stand at the waters edge, feel the waves as they washed over his feet & ankles. It felt as though his magic, which had been perfectly manageable & tame before, was thrumming just beneath the surface of his skin. Everett felt restless away from it while still being so close—so, he spent his time exploring & simply basking in the feeling that this place resonated inside of him. He found some of the sea life, too, & when he could touch them … the feeling of their energy & life force was far more powerful & intimate than he’d ever experienced.

What he didn’t put together, until much later, was that his side of the family were descendants of Alain MacNamara who had one day simply … walked into the sea & was never seen again. He also hadn’t known that the beach in Ireland they chose happened to be the very beach Alain had walked off of & Became. Alain, who we would later learn became Auri’ell, the Elder God of the sea & of magic. 

After they returned from their trip, Everett’s magic was leagues more powerful & thus, leagues more difficult to control. Especially for a 13 year old. It’s what caused the outburst of magic from Ev that had permanently wounded his father’s hands; the hands of a woodworker. He was constantly brimming & resonating with magic & thus, it wasn’t very feasible for him to simply stop using it. 

So, Everett believed he had to bind his magic to prevent further harm—& before deciding to unbind it completely & indefinitely to save Theo, & later Ren, he’d only released some of the binding once to help his older brother Royce after he’d recklessly summoned an Eldritch Horror. He was tempted one other time, when he & Theo took a trip to one of the beaches they could reach in the state of New York; it was the same as before. 

While less intense than it had been on that specific beach, it was still strong & his magic pushed back painfully against his bindings. This is where Everett shared these experiences with Theo & while his best friend urged him that learning to control it was likely better than subduing it …. Ev kept it tightly under wraps. 

After Theo is taken by Vothine & after Everett heals as much as he can from the injuries inflicted on him by eldritch claws, from the surgery … he went to that beach again. It was there where Ev finally broke the bindings with Theo’s words in mind, now that he was gone & … he realized, in that moment, how painful their previous trip had been because of what he’d done to himself, even if the memory would always be cherished deeply. 

It takes Everett five years to master & control the flood of magic that thrums in his very blood & during that time, he learns Eldritch magic as well. He has to. When he uses magic now, it’s deeply disciplined & controlled, clean cut, razor sharp. & while he does maintain the spells crafted by Alain himself to cut back on the Eldritch Sickness that gradually seeps into him from learning the craft, it threatens to unsteady him. 

He learns, however, to trust himself & to trust his intent. He learns to overcome his fear of causing harm, because … in the end, what he’s doing now is the safest option & he needs that magic for what he plans to do. & for the things thrust upon him for, he is the most powerful magic user of his time.

hi i’m here to talk about characters with aches

aches from old injuries. finicky battle wounds, stiff joints from being restrained in captivity - things that their body never erased, pain that reminds them every day of what they went through. maybe it’s obvious, like a limp, or maybe it’s something that is only clear with early morning stretches and groans. maybe the aches grow worse in rainy weather, or when they think about the injury that caused the soreness.

a character who has to live with aches, and the painful memories behind them.

ZENO:

❝  Yeah, just a little bit,  ❞ Zeno agrees, and he makes a point to match the other man’s playful energy; a smile of his own breaking through the attitude his expression otherwise exudes. That humour is swift to dissipate once he speaks again, albeit, Russian accent prominent & words all business now (  in spite of the light-hearted nature of their meeting  ). ❝  You’re a busy man; I’m not here to waste your time Mr. Phillips, so I’ll dismiss with the small talk. —Word of mouth is you’re the co-owner of one of the most proficient tech companies in the world. HUDTECH, isn’t it? An associate of mine suggested I make contact with you.  ❞

Throwing an arm over the back of the park bench, he twists his body to face Everett properly, and considers extending a hand for a formal greeting before quickly forgoing the action. It’d only draw attention to them, the clone realizes; giving away that they’re having more than just the casual chit-chat he intends to feign in the public eye. His gaze ( far older than he looks ) sweeps off to the side to follow a woman jogging past, then, before he continues.

❝  You can call me Zeno, I go by no other name. —Like you, I run an organization of my own. But there’s few of us and a lot of work that needs to be done. I find no shame in admitting that VALOR is in need of help, so I’m looking for someone like you who can. Someone with skills and resources, but more than that: a partner. A purpose is what I’d like to share with you, Everett. And if in saying that I’ve managed to capture your interest— that purpose is to stop terrible people from continuing to do terrible things. You are the first I’ve considered … so have I come to the right person? Or the wrong one.  ❞

Honestly, Everett hadn’t been sure what he’d been expecting, but it certainly hadn’t been this. While the kid does look incredibly young, the way he speaks suggests that either it’s something of a façade somehow, or just...he’d had to grow up too fast & far too early. That’s something Everett could relate to, deeply. He listens closely as Zeno speaks, tilting his head to observe him as he turns more fully towards him & Ev’s left brow arches high. Teal eyes are bright & sharp with an intense curiosity & something else churns within their depths; obscured, shrouded, but very much there nonetheless. 

“You do have my interest—but understandably, I think, I’ve got some questions. For starters, what are, exactly, these terrible things & how are you planning to stop them?  & what kind of help are you looking for? Security, general systems, communications...?” A pause & Everett averts his gaze thoughtfully, considering, before he glances back up. “& I hope you understand that if I do agree to help you, I can’t keep that from my partner. I won’t.” While his tone thus far has been curious, colored with a softer edge, these words are more firm. No room for argument.
