Is that NOAH CENTINEO? No, that's BENJAMIN "BENJI" HOBBS. The 27 year old BLOOD MOON WERETIGER OMEGA DUAL NATURED MALE is a COOK & CO-OWNER OF THE RIGHT SPOT. If you ask their friends, they're known to be PLAYFUL & FLIRTY, but they urge you to be cautious, because they're also known to be RECKLESS & FLIPPANT. Their friends also say that they're into KNOTTING, BREEDING, & SEMI/PUBLIC SEX but don't even think about trying GORE, WATERSPORTS OR SCAT with them.
Born outside of New Haven, Benji had never known true peace. Born from a witch and a weretiger, his family has been subject of severe ridicule. When it wasn't because of his mixed family, it was due to him having two dads. When it wasn't the awkward stares and glances, it was fowl words and bricks being thrown through their windows. And so they moved and moved and moved. Benji has always felt unwelcomed wherever he went, this became especially true after his parents' death. They were killed by a group of drunkards. It started as the usual harassment that went too far. In an attempt to defend themselves, one of Benji's father shifted into his beastly form.
Unfortunately, they had been carrying silver. Since then, Benji had been on his own, hitching a ride wherever he went. He managed to be taken in as a cook. It managed to be something he took to quite well. If he fed others, he'd manage to feed himself. There seemed to be an odd peace in being useful. It didn't really matter from then on if he got run out of the joint the next day, Benji would have be to survive with his cooking. From town to town to town, Benji traveled throughout the country using only what he developed from every truck stop dinner and middle of nowhere stackhouse.
Though, as time went on, he found leaving these places started to lessen in recurrence and the thought of remaining in one of these places for too long triggered Benji's instinct of flight once more. Luckily for the weretiger, he wouldn't have to travel alone. He had met Matthew during a summer at a Mex-Tex place. The AC was broken and while Benji would normally complain about the heat, getting to seat the shirtless witch was more than enough compensation. Benji would become distracted throughout service.
The staring gave way to the ease dropping, listening in on Matthew's conversations about his travels with his friends. The sights they've seen, the people they've met, the people they've screwed. Benji wasn't surprised at the direction of the group's turn in conversation, unexpected details in conversations comes with eavesdropping. Apparently Benji make for a bad spy, seeing as he was found out by Matthew just a couple seconds after. He managed to speak with the witch later that night, offering what he had been saving up to travel along with Matthew and his friends. Benji himself wasn't particularly optimistic about his chances, having been the one to see exactly how cramped they all were in the witch's van.
However, a bit of luck seemed to gather in the moment as a few of Matthew's traveling friends had decided on this stop to be their last, offering the space in the van to Benji. From then on, Benji was finally truly free. He would travel the road with Matthew and the ever changing crew in the van. While traveling, Benji met many different people. He met Peters, Pauls, and Georges, though he was always a Ringo or Brian short of traveling with the Beatles. Whenever it was time for one of their trope members to leave, it was a bittersweet occasion. Benji would ask them why this place. They would always answer with something vague like, "Something about this place wants me here." A difficult feeling to understand for Benji until they came across New Haven.
It was here Benji found himself thinking he could build a new life here with other supernatural creatures just like him. It wasn't perfect, but it beats the years of running he had done before. With the help of his good friend Matthew, they would open up a sex toy shop. Benji was just happy the town had accepted their initial paperwork, otherwise the only alternative Benji would be able to come up would be "Hard Times". Just as any goal takes hard work to achieve, so would operating the Right Spot, allowing Benji to occasionally work as a cook for different businesses across New Haven.

Rohesia and Nanako for first impressions!
The cry for a healer has already gone out by the time Rohesia comes across the scene. It's a bad one - collapsed building, somehow or other - there's no sign of fire, and there're crews already poring over the wreckage, looking for people, piling up the rubble and clearing the streets. That part's not the one Roh is looking for - she sees the small collection of already-rescued people, most slumped to the ground, covered in dust and scratches.
And there, amidst them all, a flash of bright red hair. A woman already powdered in stone dust kneels among them, speaking gently with them, as she gently handled a man's broken leg.
The bell on her staff chimes gently, and the soothing feeling of healing aether begins to seep through the air. Rohesia pauses, observing as the woman sets the wound with gentle calm. The man relaxes under her touch, despite the pain he must be in, and the healer moves on to her next impromptu patient with a quiet word.
It's a magic she's never felt before, a strangely soothing one. The entire tired cluster eases, pained murmurs settling into something easier.
A strange sort of healer - but an effective one, it seems, for all that she looks like a stiff breeze would blow her over.
(Thanks for the ask! )

Is that TOMMY MARTINEZ? No, that’s ANGEL RIVIERIA.The 31 year old FAIRY OMEGA GENDER is a/an/the POLICE OFFICER. If you ask their friends, they’re known to be FREE-SPIRITED & COMPASSIONATE, but beware, they’re also known to be EMOTIONAL & IMPULSIVE. Their friends also say that they’re into BREEDING, DIRTY TALK AND VOYEURISM but don’t you dare trying SCAT, BLOOD, AND HUMILIATION with them.
Angel was born in New Haven. He was born to a family line of Fae that looked at the species as superior to the other races. He is a policeman, working on becoming a detective. He doesn't like his job, because he rather be a musician, but his father instilled in him one of the towns rule... be productive. And his father told him that making music wasn't productive at all. He despises humans - he thinks they are disrespectful and have little regards for any other species besides the human race. He would like to go to the outside world though, because he feel like he would be able to have his career in music if he did go to the Outside world, but he isn't fully sure what would happen if he left New Haven.

AU of Bailey for my post-apocalyptic setting, Fusiform!
In Fusiform, everyone has been mutated according to their psychological conflicts. Virtue constantly strived for perfection and purity, but could never shake the feeling that there was something corrupt inside of her that she could never escape. So, when she mutated, she became a porcelain statue, from which a giant, black snake cracked open and burst forth.

"I know JK Rowing is a terrible person but her books are so good-"
You sure about that?
I mean, just for a start, have you taken a good look at her fantasy creatures lately? A whole bunch of them are straight-up based on malicious and dehumanizing stereotypes about actual people.
Remember the werewolves? And being a werewolf was made into a kind of metaphor for having AIDS?
And you know how AIDS was first associated with gay men? And how conservatives back in the day were claiming gay men were preying on children in order to convert them to gayness?
Remember how Fenrir Greyback preyed on children in particular? Yeah, she put that subtext in there. She was an adult in the 90's. She knew damn well what she was doing.
Remember the house elves? Remember how most of them loved to serve and needed to have a home and a master or else they just wouldn't know what to do with themselves?
Did you know that's literally what slavers in the American South said about the Black people they kept enslaved? Go look up the happy slave myth.
Do I even need to get into the goblins and the antisemitic tropes they're based on? No, folkloric goblins were not gold-hoarding bankers waiting for their chance to stab humanity in the back.
"But the characters are so good!"
Are you kidding me?
Most of her characters are pretty one-dimensional, including Harry. Her idea of making a morally complicated character is giving a tragic past to a bully. Numerous characters are little more than stereotypes. (Looking at Fleur right now.) Literally anybody, including you, can easily make dozens of characters just as good, if not better. (It doesn't exactly take a lot of character designing skill to go, "hey, actually, having a sad backstory doesn't make it okay to bully children" or "hey, maybe I should not base a character on the first stereotype that pops into my head.")
"But the rest of the worldbuilding!"
Sorry, but her worldbuilding is just as basic as her characters. Magical castles and secret passages are stock tropes. Magical people who keep their true nature secret from humanity is the premise of pretty much every White Wolf TTRPG. Most of her fantasy creatures are just common European fairy tale and folklore creatures with shitty stereotypes projected onto them.
I'm not saying "basic worldbuilding bad." I'm saying, you could do just as good, if not better, with minimal effort.
Also there's her magical bioessentialism, where only Harry's abusive blood relatives could provide him with supernatural protection from Voldemort. Rowling thus effectively declared that non-biological family isn't quite real family, and that abusive biofamily can give you some essential thing that a loving, supportive family that isn't related to you just can't.
The Hogwarts houses are one of the most insidious elements of her worldbuilding. The idea of being sorted gives you a little dopamine hit because wow now you have a li'l niche where you belong!
But the actual function of the houses and sorting system and the House Cup is teaching children to see each other as rivals, and ensure that the most toxic views of the upper class get passed on to every new batch of kids sorted into Slytherin.
Hogwarts effectively prepares children for a dystopia where magic serves to distract its citizens from how nightmarishly awful it is. Economic inequality is so bad that people like Arthur and Molly Weasley can barely afford to put their kids through school, casual sadism is just an accepted norm in everyday society, and non-humans are second class citizens. Rowling sorta acts like she thinks this is a bad thing with certain lines she gave to Dumbledore, but in the end, her special boy protagonist becomes an auror; IE, a defender of the status quo. So.
If you've never seen it, Lily Simpson's video goes into even more detail on how the worldbuilding of Harry Potter is actually incredibly fucked up, and how it betrays small-minded attitudes on Rowling's part. There's no separating the art from this artist, because Rowling's rotten values pour out of nearly every page.
Yes, there are many things in Harry Potter that evoke feelings and inspire people, but there's absolutely nothing in it that this series has a monopoly on. You can find those same experiences in much, much better media.
