- a full breakfast spread. hash browns, pancakes, lots of eggs with onions and peppers, juice, sausages, biscuits and gravy, etc

CHARACTER STUDY
Tumblr media
BASICS
Name: Tyler O’Neill.
Nicknames: Ty, Hacker Boy, Cobie, Ace, King of the Road 
Age:  22
Date of Birth: October 30th, 2000  
Gender: Male
Orientation: Straight.  
Profession: Majoring in Computer Engineering
Pinterest: Here 
PHYSICAL ASPECTS
Hair: Dark and tousled.
Eyes: Hazel.  
Skin: Tan.
Tattoos/scars: He has a rune on the side of his neck, it was his first tattoo, and just an act of rebellion. The second tattoo he got was a broken compass on his forearm with the word “home” written underneath. Then he got small birds flying across his ribs which was meant to symbolize the desire of “flight” and wanting to get away. His  fourth tattoo is the italian proverb, “Il lupo perde il pelo ma non il vizio,“  which means a wolf cannot change its nature. His fifth tattoo is his favorite. It’s a full moon on his triceps, he got the tattoo with Brooke Maddox, who he was falling in love with at the time. It was meant to commemorate their night together, spent under the moonlight, acting like teenage lunatics. After they “broke up” and went their own way, Tyler added a little wolf howling beneath it. The idea behind the howling wolf was to say he still thinks of her and wishes they could be together again. Wolves mate for life. As for scars, he has a lot on his hands from fighting, a few on his abs, back, and chest, and a distinctive scar over his eyebrow which was split open from a car accident when he was fifteen and running from the cops.
FAMILY
Parents: Tyler was raised in foster care and has no idea who his real parents are. They’ve always been a mystery to him and are one of the many reasons why he’s so emotionally damaged.
Siblings: He has weird deja vu memories of having a sister in the orphanage, or maybe they’re just dreams, or maybe she was just a friend of his. He’s not sure.
Grandparents: His grandfather Eli O’Neill is still alive and the head honcho of a gang. He came into Tyler’s life when he was seventeen and offered him a position in the gang, and although Tyler accepted it at the time, he’s since disbanded from them.
Pets: He has a pet snake named Venom.
SKILLS
Abilities: Tyler is a natural-born athlete. For years, he belonged to a boxing club, played lacrosse and football, and used to make a killing in illegal street races. His greatest ability though is his skills behind a computer. He can hack into anything, and uses the popularity of technology to his advantage. He’ll often sell his tech-savvy services for a price.  
Hobbies: He enjoys skiing and snowboarding in France, playing pool at the Billiards Club, racing cars, experimenting with drugs, starting fights, and he’s currently designing a new slasher VR game.
TRAITS
Most Positive Trait: Although he’s troubled, Tyler has a very mature side to him with more life experience than most people his age. Therefore, he’s very experienced and has a lot of wisdom to share.  
Worst Negative: He often resorts to self-destruction. He pushes people away, can be very private and standoffish, sarcastic and mean. He’d rather a person hate him than love him because he’s more comfortable with that. It’s better for him not to get his hopes up. Trusting people has always been a mistake.
LIKES
Colors: Black
Smells: Gasoline, coffee, fresh-cut grass, fireplaces, the woods
Foods: Double cheeseburgers, salted fries, Quiche Lorraine
Drinks: Black coffee, alcohol, energy drinks, vitamin water
BAD REPUTATION
Smokes: He smokes cigarettes and pot. 
Alcohol: Vodka. There’s a cocktail he frequents called the Mind-Eraser which is vodka, club soda and coffee liqueur. He enjoys cold beer too. He’s always been too poor to care about labels.  
Drugs: He’s tried almost every drug out there, but prefers ecstasy and pot.
Been Arrested: He’s spent two years in juvie for stealing a car when he was fifteen which led to a police chase and then resisting arrest. He was arrested again a few months after for hacking into government files. And then in and out of jail for fighting, street racing, and public intoxication.
WANTED CONNECTIONS
Friends/Best Friend: Tyler doesn’t have many “real” friends. He never let himself get too close to people. However he has met plenty of acquaintances throughout his time in foster care and juvie and all the schools he attended throughout his adolescence. Therefore he has managed to make a few lasting connections. One of them being his best friend, she was a social butterfly who accepted him for all his flaws and mistakes. She was an inspiration for him to change and though he hasn’t changed, she has stuck by him through thick and thin. 
Family: Tyler doesn’t know much about his family. According to him he doesn’t have any. But he does faintly remember a girl from the orphanage who he thought might’ve been his sister. Then there’s his uncle Eli who’s the leader of a gang. Eli will remain a NPC but if someone wants to play gang members who are eager to pull Tyler back into the crime world that would be fun. 
Exes: Tyler has tons of exes but his most memorable one is the one he had in high school. He dated Lakewood’s hottest, meanest, most popular girl for two years before they broke up for good. They were always off and on and cheating on each other and playing vicious games to see who cared less. The games ended when Tyler cheated on her with her best friend Brooke Maddox and no one holds a vendetta quite like her. 
Rivals: Tyler has made quite an amount of enemies throughout his lifetime. He’s always running his mouth, getting into fights, hustling people out of their money, and sleeping with other people’s girlfriends. He’s always involved in something shady whether its gambling, illegal street racing, underground fight clubs, and drugs. Therefore meeting and making enemies with other shitheads is just part of the deal.

Cheeseburger Quiche
Cheeseburger Quiche is a savory, delicious spin on a traditional quiche mixed with the flavors of a good old fashioned cheeseburger. By using a store bought pie crust, you save yourself some precious time, too!
Rule #265: Sometimes a Cheeseburger Quiche combo is the best option. This little recipe is the brain child of my son’s love for a solid burger (usually a Whataburger) and my love for an easy weeknight meal. Quiche is one of those glorious inventions that reheats like a gem, and sometimes, it even tastes better the second or third time around. This little gem combines the convenience of a quiche…

Day 31: Masquerade
Dean’s mask itches something fierce. But he’ll deal with a cheap face covering if Michael can take his place tonight with nobody the wiser. As Dean’s bodyguard and occasional stand-in, Mikey already had the height and build, not to mention access, to pull off the switch with the resident crown prince.
Dean glances over his shoulder, up at the balcony, where Michael is resplendent in Dean’s tailored forest green suit and elaborate peacock-themed mask. A bit on the nose, if anyone asks Dean. Royalty really shouldn’t wear the symbol of the most vain bird in the animal kingdom.
What? He reads.
He’s not just a pretty face.
Well, mostly - but that’s beside the point.
His shoes sink into the soft loam of the recently mowed back lawn of the royal’s official summer mansion, where the lesser gentry and elite commoners mingle. The nobles, of course, get the actual palace ballroom all to themselves.
But down here, that’s the real party. Dean once snuck out when he was sixteen and got a taste before Dad sent Bill, his bodyguard, to go find him and bring him back to the snoozefest upstairs.
Here, they have real music and mini cheesesteak sandwiches and pigs in a blanket. No salmon crudite or slivers of ham as thin as paper covered with a light shaving of manchego here - apparently only the lowborn riff raff get served real food.
Dean had been trying for three goddamn years to escape the annual All Hallows Eve masquerade ball - their last hurrah before the big move back to the palace for the winter. That first year, Bill found him before he could snag more than two cheeseburger sliders. The second year, Sammy accidentally ratted him out when he pointed out Dean was in the bathroom for over twenty minutes.
But this year - this is Dean’s year.
With Michael running interference, nobody will even notice Dean is missing. As long as Michael keeps his trap shut and doesn’t insult a duke’s daughter or bet the crown jewels on Baron Fitzgerald winning a drinking contest against Viscountess Baum, Dean will be in the clear.
But that’s a big if, since Mikey’s a bit of a douche.
He is a good fighter, though, which was Dad’s highest priority when he hired him. That, and who Michael’s father was.
Dean snags a mini quiche - how does all food taste better in miniature? - from a passing server and pops it in his mouth. He recognizes nobody, and, for once, nobody recognizes him. He circles the gardens, enjoying the fresh evening air without any hangers on. No retinue, no bodyguard, no advisors, no manservant, just Dean.
Just as he is about to bite into a cheese puff, a commotion by the stairs to the mansion catches his attention. Probably some idiot guest trying to get into the main party without an invitation. They always get a handful each year, drunken lawn guests who think they can get past the very blatantly protected front door. While he was stuck upstairs, Dean used to hang out on the balcony, trying to catch a earful of the altercation. Anything to save him from Mom’s super helpful reminders of who from the VIP guest list is still single.
Dean heads over to check out the scene.
A dark haired man wearing a navy blue mask and a matching navy suit is trying to muscle his way past two guards. “No, you don’t understand,” he says desperately, “I have to get in, the crown prince is in danger!”
Dean’s amusement vanishes faster than Sammy’s confidence in front of a cute girl.
“That’s a new one,” Roy mutters.
“Take a hike,” Walt says, shoving the man back off the stairs.
The man balls his hands into fists, his expression mutinous. “I need to warn the royal family.”
Dean hurries forward, hiking a grin back on his face. If this guy takes another step, all he’s going to get is a broken nose. “Hey,” he says, grabbing the guy by the arm, “Woah there, cowboy.” He gives Walt and Roy a little wave. “Sorry, fellas, my friend here had a little too much to drink.”
“I have not -”
“That’s what they all say, right? Next thing you know, they’re blowing chunks into your grandma’s best vase,” Dean says loudly to the guards as the guy turns to him angrily. He trips over his feet as Dean practically drags him away.
Walt and Roy chuckle, and Dean sighs in relief as the pair head back up towards their posts at the door.
“Do you know what you have done?” the man hisses once Dean lets him go a safe distance away.
“Kept you from a broken face,” Dean says, levelling him a flat glare. “What the fuck is wrong with you? Marching up to the front door?”
“Oh, forgive me,” the man says, glaring daggers, “I thought they would take a threat to the crown prince seriously!”
Dean’s hackles rise, foreboding trickling down his spine. “Not when it comes from some rando instead of a legit source!”
“I’m not a ‘rando’ -”
Dean’s eyebrows rise as he takes in the finger quotes. Talk about a throwback.
“- I’m a relative of Michael Carver, the prince’s bodyguard,” the man says. “His brother - Lucifer - is planning an assassination.”
“Do you have any proof?” Dean asks as he grabs a glass of champagne from a passing waiter.
A beat.
Dean takes a sip of his drink.
“…No.”
“Great,” Dean says, rolling his eyes. “You got a name, Chicken Little?”
“Castiel, Castiel Carver.”
Dean frowns. “I haven’t heard of you.”
Surprising, since there’s nothing Michael likes more than the sound of his own voice. Thank god he also liked sparring, or else Dean would have thrown him out his bedroom window a year ago.
Castiel gives him a funny look. “Why would you?”
Dean tosses back more champagne. “No reason.”
“Do you have a name? It seems rude that you have mine but I can’t say the same of you.”
“You’re weird dude, you know that?” Dean says as he scrambles for an answer. His go-to one is Michael, but that one obviously won’t fly here.
“So I have been told,” Castiel says stiffly. He raises his eyebrows expectantly.
“James - Page,” Dean says.
Castiel exhales a slow breath, but he doesn’t seem to sense Dean’s lie. “It would say it’s nice to meet you, James, but it’s been anything but. If you’ll excuse me.”
“Wait!” Dean calls as Castiel takes off. Apparently for round two of a fight he is absolutely going to lose.
Dean grabs Castiel’s arm. The next thing he knows, he’s flat on his back, staring up at the stars and Castiel’s furious face, his anger clear despite the mask.
Dean sucks in a ragged breath, completely winded. What the fuck? Nobody gets the drop on Dean anymore, not since Michael started training him.
“If you try to stop me again,” Castiel says, his voice deadly quiet, “I will do much worse.”
“Hold on,” Dean wheezes. “You really believe there’s something hinkey going on?”
Castiel nods once.
“Why do you care?”
Castiel stares down at him. “Why do I care that an innocent man’s life is in danger?” he asks incredulously.
Dean raises himself onto his elbows. “Yeah.”
Castiel offers his hand. He hauls Dean to his feet, his face stony. “Michael is compromised when it comes to Lucifer. I don’t believe he will be able to provide adequate protection. I’ve been trying to call him all day, but he hasn’t picked up his phone. My texts have gone unread.” He pauses. “I’m trying not to fear the worst.”
Dean can feel a headache coming on. “I’m sure he’s just busy. Nights like these, it’s one event after another,” he pauses, “for the prince.”
“Then it’s even more vitally important that I reach him,” Castiel says resolutely.
“Alright,” Dean sighs. He can’t stay down here either if there’s some assassin after him. After they find that Dean’s not where he’s supposed to be, what if they go after his family? After Sammy?
His big plan, in case of emergency, was to just whip off his mask in front of the guards and just walk straight past them to the party. But, obviously, that won’t fly with a psycho assassin on the loose with his sights set on a prince-shaped person.
“I’ll get you upstairs.”
Castiel’s head whips around. “You can do that?”
“I can do a lot of things,” Dean says, aiming for casual and missing by several lightyears.
“How?”
“I, uh, work at the mansion,” Dean says as he tips his head in the opposite direction of the front door. “C’mon.”
“Where are we going?”
“The servant’s entrance.”
“Won’t they notice we don’t belong? They have uniforms,” Castiel points out.
“We’re not gonna try to belong,” Dean says, determined, as they hover outside the doorway.
A passing waiter gives them a curious look but doesn’t comment.
Dean snags the last shrimp cocktail on her tray. Munching, he gestures Castiel forward with his shrimp-free hand.
“We’re going to get caught,” Castiel hisses.
Dean rolls his eyes and tugs him closer, just outside the kitchen doors. “That’s the point.”
“Why would we want-” Castiel starts.
“Kiss me,” Dean demands as more footsteps approach - the dessert entourage, judging by the volume of steps and incoming aroma of warm chocolate. He checks his watch to confirm.
“What?”
“Do you want to get upstairs or not?” Dean asks in a low voice.
“Fine,” Castiel growls as he smashes their mouths together, all force, no finesse.
“Hey,” Dean squeaks against his lips - he hadn’t expected Casanova levels of kissing, but this is more like an assault than a public display of affection. “Easy,” he murmurs, breaking away to kiss down Castiel’s neck.
Castiel makes a noise in the back of his throat that might be impatience or arousal. “James, you -” he groans.
“Yes?” Dean snakes an arm around Castiel’s waist, drawing their bodies together.
Castiel cups his cheek with one hand, gently guiding Dean’s mouth back to his. He deepens the kiss, the pads of his fingers toying with the edge of Dean’s mask.
Butterflies explode in the pit of Dean’s stomach, and he has to put the barest sliver of distance between them to gasp for air.
“You taste like shrimp,” Cas murmurs, his words barely more than a breath.
Dean just holds it together enough to laugh against his mouth.
And that’s how the servers find them a split second later. They all hurry past, avoiding their gaze.
Dean waits until the noise level dies down to break away from Cas and mutter, “C’mon.”
After a meaningful tug, Cas follows Dean through the empty kitchen. Dean leads them up the stairs through the servants entrance to the second story. Pausing outside the side entrance to the ballroom, he listens to the gentle thrum of the string quartet and muted conversation.
“I think we’re good,” Dean says in an undertone as they slip through the door. He closes it behind him silently, sighing. There goes his chance for an evening with zero royal bullshit.
A few hundred people mill around the giant hall, with musicians in a cordoned off area to Dean and Cas’s right. To their left, an expansive wall made up of thousands of glass panes lets in the moonlight. The double doors out to the balcony are thrown wide open.
“We need to find Michael and the Prince,” Cas says, cutting through the crowds like a shark, scanning each masked face as he goes.
“Dude,” Dean hurries to catch up, “Do you even know what he looks like tonight?”
Cas falters. “I’ll know Michael when I see him.”
Dean severely doubts that. Still, he follows Cas as he starts on a careful perimeter of the room, going from marble pillar to marble pillar. “Do you know what Lucifer looks like, at least?” he asks, carefully avoiding a lingering glance from Countess Harvelle.
Cas shakes his head.
Dean swears under his breath.
“I heard of this plot from my uncle Metatron, who heard a rumor from our cousin Uriel, who last saw Anael, who works for Lucifer.”
Dean groans. “Seriously? This is all based on a game of Telephone II: the Conspiracy Expansion Pack?”
“Game of what?” Cas asks, barely sparing Dean a glance.
Dean huffs an irritated breath. “Nothing. Never mind.”
Cas scowls. “I’m not on very close terms with them,” he says, eyes narrowing on a few guests before moving on, “ever since I sought employment with the royal family.”
Dean’s eyes nearly bug out of his head. “You did?”
Cas nods, and Dean, too stunned to move, nearly loses him in the crowd as Cas takes off for a different vantage point.
“Hold on, what’d you apply for?” Dean asks as he catches up.
Cas throws him a calculating look before saying, “The Crown Prince’s bodyguard.”
Dean stops short, nearly knocking into some important general, judging by the chandelier’s worth of dangly shiny bits from his lapels and shoulder pads. But... Cas could have been his bodyguard? Cas could have been standing by his side twenty hours out of the day? A guy so determined to save a life, he sneaks into one of the most exclusive parties of the year and risks getting thrown in jail for trespassing?
“Why?” he demands, staring at Cas.
“Why what?” Cas asks distractedly, eyeing a guest that vaguely has Dean’s shape and height.
“Why did you want to guard the Crown Prince?” Dean asks carefully. “It’s a pretty thankless job with horrible hours.”
“I wouldn’t say it’s thankless,” Cas says, still perusing the crowd as he edges around a pillar for a better view “I’m certain the Prince is grateful.”
“Sure, but he’s just one guy,” Dean says awkwardly.
Cas huffs, “He is far more than that,” he says, facing forward again, spine straight as a regimented soldier. “He’s the heir to the throne.”
“Yeah, of a practically defunct monarchy,” Dean says bitterly. He snags a glass of wine from a passing waiter, grimacing at the bitter taste. No doubt Dad’s choice.
Cas eyes him disapprovingly but doesn’t say a word.
“Nobody cares what the royals do anymore. Except for these people.” Dean gestures with his glass. “Not that they should - the Prince just got where he is by being born into the right family.”
The corners of Cas’s mouth tip down in a slight frown. He sucks in a deep breath. “The royals fill important diplomatic and charitable roles. Prince Dean has spearheaded addiction recovery programs and advocated against discrimination based on sexuality. He isn’t beholden to voters or any party, so he’s free to express himself - although I am sure there are limitations I am unaware of - and champion plenty of worthy causes that lack a figurehead because they are unpopular but morally right. Plenty of royals have been content to rest on their laurels and do nothing but throw parties like this with all the influence they could potentially wield but not Prince Dean.”
“Woah.”
Cas bobs a stiff nod. “Anyway, that’s why I sought that particular position.”
“Dude, are you a fanboy?” Dean asks, smiling despite himself. Thank god the mask hides most of his wild, embarassed blush.
“No.”
Dean laughs. “C’mon, Cas, you can admit it.”
“I will admit no such thing.”
“You know, one day, I’m gonna get that stick outta your ass,” Dean says conversationally.
Cas throws him an extremely put-upon look. “I’m not sure we’ll see each other again after tonight.”
“I wouldn’t bet on that,” Dean says into his glass of wine.
Cas determinedly ignores him and resumes studying the ballroom for any sign of his target.
Dean sighs. “You’re not gonna give up until you see Michael, are you?”
“No.”
Heart sinking, Dean tugs on Cas’s sleeve to get his attention. “This way.”
“Where are we going?” Cas asks as he follows.
“The royals have private quarters near the ballroom.” Dean smirks. “Apparently the Queen can’t powder her nose while rubbing elbows with the little people.”
Lips pursing, Cas surmises eventually, “You don’t like the royal family.”
“What?” Dean pulls a face. “No, I like them just fine.”
Cas throws him a dubious look. “You’ve been nothing but dismissive of them since we met. Are,” he pauses, “are they disreputable employers? Are you treated unfairly in the workplace?”
“Oh my god,” Dean mutters, dragging a hand down his. “No, they’re fine.”
“The more times you say it, the less I believe it,” Cas says frankly.
Dean crosses his arms over his chest as he stops in a semi-secluded area behind a pillar next to the doorway to the royal quarters.
“Look, they’re fine. Really,” he repeats at Cas’s glare. “They might have a problem with nepotism - hardly a shocker, so I’m gonna let that one go.” He unfolds his arms, telling Cas seriously, “That’s how Michael got his job - his dad did a favor for the King a while back.”
Cas blinks.
Satisfied Cas won’t go around thinking his parents are caning their servants in their spare time, Dean peers around the pillar.
His heart sinks.
There should be at least one guard stationed outside, but the post is empty.
“Something’s wrong,” Dean murmurs as they approach the door.
On alert, Cas seamlessly slides in front of him to enter first.
Dean hardly recognizes the room as he steps inside. Priceless furniture is smashed to pieces, wooden splinters and stuffing scattered on the black-and-white tiles. A wooden table lies on its side, covered in bullet holes.
Two people are fighting in the center of the room. Michael, his face bare, his suit ripped at the shoulder, is being strangled by a man Dean doesn’t recognize.
“Lucifer!” Cas barks, striding forward, his steps sure.
Lucifer bangs Michael’s head against the floor with a sickening thud.
Michael goes still.
Dean catches the glimmer of the knife a second too late. “Cas!”
Cas knocks Lucifer’s wrist out of the way and the knife goes clattering to the side.
Lucifer swears and punches Cas in the face.
Cas careens back, his eyes murderous. He grabs a broken chair leg, flipping it in his hand for a better grip as he rushes at Lucifer.
With zero no finesse, he whacks it at Lucifer’s head.
Lucifer ducks, just in time to meet Cas’s other fist.
He goes down in a jumble of limbs.
“That was fast,” Dean mutters, shocked. Fight scenes in movies lasted hours compared to those ten seconds.
“Most fights usually are,” Cas says, dropping his chair leg and wiping his hands on his pants. He crouches by Lucifer, slips his hand into his jacket, and pulls out a pair of zipties. His face clinically blank, he binds Lucifer’s wrists and ankles.
Dean approaches Michael’s prone body, biting his lip. “Michael?”
Michael groans.
Cas walks over to stand next to him. “Where’s the Prince, Michael? Is he safe?”
Michael blinks muzzily up at them. He squints at Dean.
“Michael?” Cas prompts testily.
“Dean?” Michael slurs. “’S right there.” He points, aiming wildly over Dean’s left shoulder. He falls back to the floor with a grunt.
Cas frowns. “No, that’s…”
Dean looks away. He pulls out his phone for an excuse not to look at Cas’s face. Instead, he winces at the three hundred texts and ten missed calls from Sammy and Mom. Crap, he’s in so much trouble, but at least they seem okay. He calls Mom first, and he lets her get as far as, “Dean Robert Henry James Winchester where the hell have you-” before he hurriedly silences his phone.
“Dean?” Cas echoes, his voice weak.
Dean smiles sheepishly over at Cas. “I told you we’d be spending more time together.” He gestures down at Michael. “And now it seems I’m down one bodyguard. You still up for the gig?”
