Background Elements

Description

Sharp-faced. Undefinably weird-looking. Needs a haircut.

Ideology

Angry antiauthoritarian 1930s socialist journalist

Person

Gale: his best friend. Mordred's a little in love with him, not that he'd ever say so. Key background connection. 

Agravaine: his older half-brother. 

As of 'if we fight it we still have a chance': Desperately, unsuccessfully, pretending everything is normal and fine; Mordred feels guilty about causing him nightmares and guilty about not feeling guilty enough to stop.

Inaaya: his girlfriend. Joined the Bangkok cult when she was sixteen. Born in India with psychic powers; taught herself to read from books she dug out of the garbage. Deeply idealistic.

Morgan: his aunt. Told him the occult existed and immediately vanished without a trace.

Place

His apartment. He and Agravaine live together, and it's the only place he's ever lived where he had meaningful freedom.

Possessions

Knife: the first thing he ever bought with his own money

Blue sea glass: Morgan gave it to him when he was a teenager. There's something strange about how it reflects light.

Conlang notes: he's a nerd okay

As of 'fancy condos in beverly hills': Gale's rosary: a promise he made to his friend that he'd be safe.

Personality

Furious: Wants to fight the entire world. It's why he became a journalist and not something with better pay, because the world is broken and he is furious that it is broken.

Loyal: His moral principles are weird but he cares about them deeply and would die for any of his loved ones.

Phobias

Deep water
