The town of Charlie, West Virginia boasts barely 500 residents--the small coal town was built in the 1800s into the side of a winding mountain, surrounded by untouched forests and open farmland on every side. Nearly half the town is a historic site and it's half an hour from a large university (and major grocery store, and school, etc). Charlie is also home to a large famiy of warlocks: the Daniels bloodline boasts an innate magical power, channeled through runes carved into the stocks of their hunting rifles and incantations scribbled in Sharpie on the dashboards of their trucks.
Jesse was born the youngest son of a large branch of the Daniels family, living in the rural mountainsides of Charlie. He has several siblings--four brothers and two sisters--with all of them living in a house their great-grandfather built. Several other houses line the twisting road, all of them his relatives. Jesse grew up a true country boy, helping his family hunt their own food and assisting them with their magical endeavours. After helping his family create a forest guardian that would protect Charlie from bears and scare off poachers, he becomes the first to discover that there was a flaw in the magic and it has slowly turned malevolent to its creators.

Aaron is a short young man packed with lean muscle, dotted with freckles and sporting bright, feral blue eyes. The island has left him with a permanently crooked nose, a grossly mutilated left hand, and black-and-white tribal tattoos carved into the flesh of his arms. His hair is naturally a mousy brown, but he bleaches it so often that Thomas constantly forgets that he's not naturally platinum blond. He tends to dress like a total douchebag as well: popped-collar shirts, khakis, puka shell necklaces, and sunglasses pushed up into his hair.
He doesn't always act like a douchebag, though. While he's a little blunt and has the occasional outburst (he loses his "feet on the floor privledges" when that happens), he's trying his best to keep his temper under control. He has a little less regard for the law than most people, knowing that he can pay his way out of whatever problem he happens to run into, and has a bit of wealth blindness--he doesn't know how to make Easy Mac since he always had a butler growing up, and he doesn't seem to understand that no, Thomas doesn't want a new truck, his old one runs just fine, and he doesn't want a new watch or laptop just because it's not the newest model. Despite all that, he's doing everything he can to be a good boyfriend or husband. He loves directing movies, he buys Thomas lavish presents because why not, and he gets excited over signed posters from his favorite actors and role models. He's an odd man, and he's trying hard to be a good one.
