Peter Graham | Hereditary
Preferred Contact:
Time Zone: CT
Personal Style: I'm good with both prose and brackets, and enjoy changing it up sometimes! I'm also very backtag friendly, and I do run slowly through the week. I can generally pick up more speed on weekends, but overall it can take me A Little Bit to get back to tags.
OOC Limits: N/A
Character Name: Peter Graham
Age: 17
Employment in Deerington: High school student
Residence in Deerington: Dunwich Hollow, in a house out by the river with Henry Coles. Though as of late, he can often be found at Quentin Coldwater's / Eliot Waugh's place over in Brahms.
Day to Day Activities: Before summer break, going to school (where his usual activities are following Luna Lovegood around like a gloomy shadow, skipping classes, having Possessed Fits when he actually does attend his classes, and falling asleep in random broom closets)... Wandering the town at night in a creepy zoned-out state and ending up on random people's lawns, cleaning up various items that his demon brings home, normal things. He's also lately been getting back into music, playing his guitar and keyboard.
About This Character: Peter is your average, incredibly traumatised teenage vessel for an ancient demon that was "handed down" through his family via botched possession attempts and finally successfully placed into the right host (Peter ♥) by a cult just prior to his arrival in Deerington. Said demon predates Christianity and is one of the goetic kings of Hell known as Paimon, though he's also been quite traumatised and is still extremely lost, himself. Here is some more information on this situation / Paimon! As for a bit more on Peter, he's mostly like a six-foot-tall twitchy spider: he just wants to stay hidden in the shadows, a little scary but mostly harmless to others.... He's shy, soft, and dangerously vulnerable on the inside, a product of growing up through unhealthy family dysfunction and the drawn-out process of being a sacrificial lamb who was progressively weakened and possessed. ....He's not fun at parties, or anywhere else.
Any Warnings: In particular, what will come up in my writing for this character is psychological, emotional, and physical distress related to demonic possession. There are details of that here, as well as the (many) other warnings from his canon. Emotional and psychological trauma, frequent anxiety/panic attacks, and familial death are also big themes that are frequently present in this character.
Present Life: His "Ultimate Host" title through July means that Peter has progressively been taken over by Paimon, fulfilling his "purpose" of being Paimon's vessel. That process has pushed Peter to desperately reach out to anyone who seems to have any kind of experience with such things, in attempt to help.... but nothing will. Until Luna Lovegood ends up making a pact with Paimon to try and ground him / give him purpose again, which will help calm him down a bit after July passes and give him some focus. Peter's also made connections with quite a few people who can offer different types of insight, and help him at least deal with his possession, even if it can't necessarily be cured. Meanwhile, Paimon's been forming some new relationships with others and seeking out "guidance" from them — the effects of which may be positive or negative. Time shall tell.....
Future Ideas: Peter has been in Deerington almost a year now, and finally knows Paimon's name! It's been.. a journey.... I'm seeing this as a sort of Stage 2 for them. Following the "Ultimate Host" thing and the bond experience with Luna, Paimon will be more of a consistent presence in Peter's life (and thus his CR), as opposed to this dark shadow that's kept hidden away as much as possible. I also have plans to get a stabilising gem for him soon, to allow him to permanently regain some of his powers. While still a weird, lost version of himself, Paimon's going to be reconnecting with what he really is a bit more — I'd love him to start practicing his "request/wish-granting" to people he's formed relationships with. (He's kind of like a genie; he functions through being given "offerings" and then granting "rewards"). His concept of that is a little skewed, and Deerington warping him down means his "rewards" might come in the form of like, dead things or old pieces of jewelry or Peter's pocket change, but.... he needs that system to keep him in line. Come request things from one messed up demon king.
CR You Want: Fellow horror peeps, those with supernatural themes or experiences, anyone with connections to demons or angels of various lore / demonology / magic-practitioners / witchcraft / etc. Others around Peter's age (17), classmates and teachers to deal with his haunted butt on a regular basis, younger teens and kids for him to Sadly Big Brother (he comes with a heaping dose of dead little sister guilt). I'm very interested in emotional / psychological focused situations; Peter is a character who really works well for slow-paced, heavy circumstances more than action-based ones. I like to dig deep and slowly unravel things, so I'm forever here for emotional things or exploring character traumas, etc. Hurt / comfort opportunities are also always on the table for this one. Negative or conflicted feelings in others would be great as well, given he's... pretty fucking eerie? I'd love to play around with more people being creeped out by him, or those who don't take well to what's inside of him for various reasons. He (and Paimon) are also extremely vulnerable, so there's potential for manipulation or negative influence on one or both of them, there.
CR You Don't Want: Romance, given he's got big goo-goo eyes for someone right now. One-sided crushes on him are fine (but you can do better.....)
Additional Comments/Dumb Shit: steal his Look
no subject
for her to eventually learn he is a demon boy
and. idk. things. because even when it was paimon chatting with her he seemed lovely so she'll be conflicted over demon vs how he actually is but ultimately if he's good she's good
no subject
This CR is honestly really sweet and a little sad and I'm here for it. Peter has a ton of Mom Issues and isn't used to Older Ladies being nurturing... at all?? He doesn't even know how to accept that gentleness (though Luna's been helping him a lot). So that's something I'd love to see how it goes, with him probably flinching away from it initially. Then there's Paimon, who's drawn to that kind of thing and desperately going to be seeking it....
It'll also be fun to see how the demon and angel thing plays out! If she maybe learns he's not a Biblical demon, but is more magic / goetia based, so he's not really "evil". But he definitely has some resentments towards being used by humans, as is kind of slipping out in our thread, and he can go a bit dark sometimes, so... A LOT TO UNPACK HERE. It's pure though and I absolutely love the thought of this demon seeking out guidance / care from an angel. c:
no subject
if he does flinch away from it she'll do much subtler caring, little checking on him but keep it more on the downlo to now freak him out so much. which will be odd when paimon just leans into it and she gets so confused
honestly, her demons also aren't biblical demons. sort of???? she predates the bible, they got a lot wrong. but her demons are fallen angels soooo it'll be interesting
(and less evil more... corrupt? wrong?)
it'll definitely be an interesting thing for them both to figureout
no subject
YEAH Paimon predates Christianity too, he's old af, these two ancient beings. His whole deal is really ambiguous / malleable, and he's easily influenced into "good" or "bad" depending on whom he's around. So he could absolutely use her influence in his life! Just being a very well-behaved lost demon king around her... has a shitfit every once in awhile and she just scolds him. Be polite
But yesss I'm here for this CR and all the Mrs. S threads tbh. She's already a delight and I adore her
