Sullivan, son of Seamus

Biography: Born to two soldiers in an icy northern region called Evina’s Marches, Sullivan and his siblings grew up in a time of war. Fortunately, Sullivan’s family lived in a time after the Web had been shattered and rendered safe, so when he and his sister and brother all started to develop magic in their adolescence, it wasn’t the death sentence it might have been sixty years before. When his sister and parents were killed in a surprise attack by a mountain god, Sullivan and his brother were recruited into the newly-formed Spider Corps and transformed, being given greater power. During the schism, Sullivan sided with Cameron’s faction because his brother and best friend did even though he didn’t entirely agree. But when his best friend killed his brother at the synod, Sullivan committed to remaining on the side that later became known as the demons. His commitment wavered over the millennia, leading to him largely operating on his own trying to find Klaus over the last several centuries until trying to pick the wrong pocket at a summer festival.

Notes:


 * Sully has been in love with Bartholomew almost since they met. They’ve been involved sexually but never romantically
 * Sully always had a lot more clout in the Spider Corps than he was comfortable with
 * Sully has participated in several operations to kill Nathen’s reincarnations. It was one of these, the target being a twelve-year-old girl, that had him essentially break ties with the other demons
 * Sully was never convinced by Klaus’s death and has been trying to find him for a long time
 * The Spider Corps generally has a policy not to talk much about things that humans wouldn’t be able to know about normally such as undiscovered lands. Sully normally adheres to this, but has told humans more than he technically should about history
 * Sully speaks about seventy languages, at least forty-five of which are no longer spoken
 * Sully is trying to forgive Bartholomew for killing Gilligan, but it’s hard
 * He knows full well how a romantic relationship between an immortal and a bunch of humans is going to end, but he wants to do it anyway
 * Sully was never the most powerful person magically, but he more than made up for it in fighting ability and strategic thinking
 * Sully has no stomach for war anymore and will do whatever he can to create a peaceful world

Quotes:


 * “No promises you won’t get stabbed.”
 * “I don’t like owing people things.”
 * “That’s not what I…I want a fucking job, okay? I want to get on your guys’s team.”
 * “I feel like I made a huge fucking mistake all of the sudden. You’re all insane.”
 * “No, I’m not fucking afraid of dragons. They’re just lizards with teeth.”
 * “Waking up early is for old people! Nothing good happens before lunch.”
 * “Yeah well, we’ll go ahead and add that to my list of mistakes, okay?”
 * “Immortality is depressing. They didn’t tell us that part when we signed up for it.”
 * “Now respectfully fuck off, would you?”
 * “Look, I don’t want to kick you in the religion, but don’t count on angels to have your best interests at heart, okay?”
 * “It was hard, it was war and it was awful and we all did terrible things. But they were my friends, my family. I’d never had that before.”
 * “I take extremely vindictive pleasure in saying I fucking told you so.”
 * “Not a chance in whatever passes for hell these days.”

Trivia:

 * Every time he comes across a body of water he’s never been to before, Sully makes sure to skinny dip in it
 * Sully was mildly disappointed that his demonic transformation didn’t make his dick bigger. He got over it, but is now miffed again having seen what happened to Wes, Mick and Travis
 * For unknown reasons, pigs hate Sully. He has been attacked by pigs many, many times
 * Sully has faked his own death forty-nine times, making it more elaborate each time. He’s planning something big for his fiftieth
 * On four separate occasions, Sully has ended up being a tutor to royal children. All of them went on to be very good monarchs

Modern AU: Sully is from a middle-class, blue collar background, but embrace his inner anarchist when he was in middle school and hasn’t looked back. He holds an Honours degree in philosophy, but dropped out halfway through his Master’s because he realized how oppressive the academy was. Sully doesn’t have a stable job or income, working odd jobs for a few days at a time and managing to get by. He’s never paid taxes, pays his rent in homemade soup, raised money for his car by working as a camboy, doesn’t carry ID and spends his free time either in the extreme kink scene or the seriously underground music scene. Comments that his boyfriends are ten years younger than him are met with indifferent shrugs and/or reminders of the person in question’s past indiscretions of various sorts.
