▾ ⋮ personality:
▻+positive+
+Empathetic - As an Eros, Julien feel the emotions of those around him. As a professor to students, he reflects on those emotions he detects from those around him and will often relate to his students a new feeling. Which in general is anyone around him as he likes to keep an even mood in his class room. Manipulating other's emotions for their own well being is what he does.
+Prudent - Julien exercises prudence in every matter he considers to be important which is every matter he considers at all. A careful thinker who holds plenty of wit and common sense, Julien always seems to know best.
+Vivacious - Julien is certainly the lively attractive one. He doesn't allow for much silence to go on around him and he doesn't allow much time to think while he flaunts his personality and his body all over the place. He is happy to intrude on conversations just by feeling the mood out. Being full of energy he is able to relate to the younger generations and somehow still remain sexually appealing.
+Savoir Faire - Where hyperactivity may be good in a classroom, Julien has had years of practicing just what to say at the right time. Being brought up in France love isn't the only thing he knows a thing or two about. He is enthusiastic but once the suits walk-in he holds a bit of finesse about him.
+Adaptable - As previously described, Julien can fit into most situations. He seems to mesh in with every generation from young to old. He holds wisdom from the ages as well as a bit of liveliness that can never die. No situation is too much for him to handle, yet.
>-negative-
-Duality - Julien has been noted to bounce between the positives of two different aspect of himself. This misleads students at times as Julien can reflect the positive and the negative aspects of human emotion as well as thought processing. The lines between what is good and evil seem distinct for Julien, but from another perspective he seems to have no differentiation between what is good and what is evil.
-Deceptive - Don't let the emotional manipulations be your trick. Julien is eloquent giving wan that the tongue is just as dangerous as the sword. He must show off in order to keep everyone's trust and for as long as eyes are on him, no one would ever suspect anything dark coming from such a fun-loving person.
- Prevaricating - A masterful manipulative man with a know how on when to avoid touchy subjects. This leads others to be suspicious of him, but his lighter personality seems to overshadow his darker side.
-Enthusiastic - While normally a good thing, Julien has a way of making it seem uncomfortable. Who gets so hyped for Psychology? It strikes many as off, but he plays the part pretty well.
▾ ⋮ history:
▻ 6 years after the end of the Franco-Prussian war, Pierre Bellamy returned to his home in Bordeaux. There he met a widowed baker's daughter, she was beautiful in every possible way. She was a Vila born in Bulgaria and her mother was a Vila, as well. Liliya Ivet lost her father to the war, but she found love in Pierre who found that no woman would ever come to replace the unnatural beauty he could not turn his gaze from. With her mother's blessing they married and help run the bakery. Five years later the two were expecting. Liliya's mother died the very moment of her son's birth. June 4th, 1881, Pierre sold the bakery and moved his family to the City of Love, Paris. Julien grew up handsome and strong with the nurturing heart of his late grandmother.
Luckily, the family made it for themselves during the Long Depression without too much hardship. Even as economic failure became inevitable for nearly all of Western Civilization this was not a trial faced by the Bellamy family. Liliya worked hard as a baker in Bordeaux, but even harder in Paris. Pierre did odd stock jobs. As the stock market crashed in France he sought the opportunity to buy buildings and land. For some it worked and for others it did not. Pierre bought a great amount of land in his old home of Bordeaux. He spent weeks riding out and working on his new profit. By the time their little son Julien was eleven, Pierre's hard work paid off for his family. The Long Depression was nearly over and the family now was an heir to a vineyard estate in Bordeaux. The luck and wealth of the Bellamy family seemed to astonish so many given their status before and after the Long Depression.
By the age of 15 Julien's family was well in the clear, but not until Julien discovered he was Sparked. Liliya kept from Pierre what she and her mother were and now she was burdened with keeping another lie. Julien was at his boy's school when a fight broke out and he was pushed from the top of the school bell tower. The protrusion of wings which helped him to land before vanishing led to very suspicious parents questioning the ethics of the school which ultimately led to Julien being banned from his studies there. When Pierre questioned him it was quickly diverted by his mother and never spoken of again. Liliya hired a number of tutors to study with Julien within the safe confines of their home, but that would not stop Pierre from discovering what they were.
All of Julien's youth took place during the Belle Époque, the Beautiful Era, and his father sought to making it a beautiful era for him and his mother, Liliya. Unfortunately, Julien was 21 in the year 1902 when both his parents were gruesomely murdered. His abilities remained in check long enough for his father to pay it no mind, but now Julien was alone. He had nothing more to do with his life than join the military. Julien was raised with his mother's stories of old gods and old powers before man. He knew he was a Spark just as his mother always taught him, but now what was he to do with powers he has been suppressing all his life. By the time of the Great War Julien was enlisted as a medic at the age of 33 he was ready to see war one way or another.
It was early August when Julien was sent out against the German army. The French were taking an old province back lost during the Prussian War. Julien saw to tending the wounds of many in need of medical attention, but this was not the life he imagined for himself. The very camp was under siege. Julien was going to die on the first front of battle. Fortunately, Julien was not the only Spark and he wouldn't be the last to carry the weight of mundane sins. Many Fae took up arms or needles rather not being of the fighting sort mostly he met many healers there to aid the mundane.
It was probably the war that changed Julien's outlook on life, but he survived the Great War and he was met by many more battles. Luckily for him he never truly saw the battlefield until the aftermath, but it was hard collecting the injured and dead when being shot at the entire time. The base was supposed to be in a safe spot, but they weren't nearly as safe as they thought. Julien witnessed thousands of injured soldiers crying for help while bombs and cannons all scattered the battlefield. Each soul was looking for a chance to live, but Julien could not save them all and it wouldn't matter anyway because the mundane would always go to war again.
Julien survived many wars as a medic, until someone started checking his credentials and realized by the time of the Vietnam War Julien should have appeared much older than twenty-five. The world was a bad place and it was going to only get worse for the young Frenchman. From nymphs he had met during World War II he acquired the ability to shoot using bow and arrows. It came in handy when Julien had to fight the mundane for his life. By the time the wars for Julien were over he decided fighting was no longer the answer. He fought many years for the world and could not return home. He had his entire estate sold and all of his families money was gone. He was starting from scratch with as few paper trails as possible.
Everyone holds a different opinion about when the Sparks stopped being apart of the Mundane world, but for Julien he had to stop before the turn of the next century. The world was spinning out of control and it seemed everyone was against themselves. Eventually, after staying low long enough the Sparks were invited into Portermount where they would never have to worry over the mundane world ever again...or as recent events have shown otherwise. Julien applied for a position as a teacher at Addermire and was happy to get the job. He wanted to ensure the future generations of Sparks were well informed of the world around them. His years of studies allowed him to understand his own powers over empathy and reading out the room. It seemed perfect for him to get the job as psychology professor. It was no two subjects, but it was a single subject which aided youths in learning where they fit in the world and how they decide where they fit.
Professor Bellamy has remained at Addermire ever since and has little to no care for the ways of the mundane, but he lived with their kind long enough he could tell you exactly what he thought of their kind as a whole and truthfully the thought is gruesome. Julien never has learned much about his own kind or where he would even begin to belong in the world of the Sparks. Such a question never occurred to him again and probably never will. He feels he found his place in the world as a teacher and pushing the next generation to do better, or what his version of better might be. Professor Bellamy has also gained a bit of insight on his own life and as much as he denies it something dark is twisting inside of him. He has gown more prejudice toward the mundane as the years have gone by. He saw the years of war better than most. Julien believe's without a higher order to dictate the mundane they will simply slip back into their times of war once more. The pressure is on as the following week led to events no one really knows much about. Julien hasn't even felt much difference on a personal perspective, but many other's would notate that he has darkened since previous years.

▾ ⋮ bio:
There's really not much to say about Teset. You may not know them, and you may never, not even after the day you die, but Teset knows you. They know everything about you, and can't wait to bring you into their realm of death. They, despite preferring to be referred to as a male, most of the time anyways, depends on their mood, don't really mind being called a female by the students and teachers. They know surely enough that at least some teachers have caught on to their scent for now, but hopes that they do what's best for their own lives.
They normally just act as their host would around the school, giggling in sunshine and rainbows because they prefer to not be known as they have been for centuries, as death, and also because they are a dramatic person who treats this as just another role. They never leave their host's body, not wanting them to run away, at least not until the body deteriorates. Then perhaps they may just leave, as there is no more point in staying and they should get a new host anyways.
They fell in love, once. With a beautiful maiden, whose name never quite stuck with them. They dance and nights slipped away before her name appeared in his book and he knew, he just knew, that he'd never see her again. This was the first curse of cancer, one that they realized would happen not only to people but also to people who got too close to them, emotionally and physically. That is why they cannot date.
They have never really thought about doing more than writing and reading the names in their little book. They are only the fencing coach because they feel as if it is only appropriate to pay respects to their host, who willing (first in 500 hosts) came to them and offered to be their new host as the body of the last rotted away in front of them. As they dug into the host's memories, they discovered that their host has been attempting to commit suicide multiple times and that they were the last option. Then they dug deeper and found out that her boyfriend had killed himself because his parents would let him be with her, and he remembered her boyfriend's name in his little book. He slightly pitied her afterward.
They are at this school not just because they seek to help their host feel better, but also because they seek to recruit some acolytes and perhaps make some allies.

Apostle Zagan Argon
:: ♂ :: Appears 26 Years Old :: Chaotic Law
▻ Apostle on first glance is very laid back and chill. He loves to joke around with others and create friendly banter with his peers, even if the others are not always ok with this. Silence tends to drive him stir crazy,especially with others awkwardly in the same vicinity. Talk about his profession or interests are usually a death trap since he will want to go on and on if he finds someone expressing interest in the same things as him. Despite being rather laid back, he does have his set of nit picks that will drive him mad, such as a disorganization or lack of using common manners.
With familiars, he tends to act a bit more dependent of them, more so emotionally. Most of the people around him that he knows well are fine with physical contact just because he is someone that indulges in physical comfort and condolences. Without others, he is a bit frail emotionally and will result to unfavorable means to find comfort.
Many aspects are added to his personality during his night life, where he tends to be much more lively then usual. Much of his nocturnal life consists of going out to clubs and gambling, both that have gotten him into quite a bit a trouble in the past. He normally has trouble recalling such events, most likely due to acting on instinct rather then actual rational thoughts.
▻ From a young age, he was born into a wealthy household that took care of the child exceptionally well, even with his parents common business practices. He was always at the side of one of his parents, even if he had to be dragged along with. This also resulted in eventual strict homeschooling and a rigorous schedule according to their desires. While the child didn't exactly mind this, it did result in his lack of proper social skills due to little social contact at all. Even the friends he would make would be only those approved of by his guardians.
Although would change in his later years, due to his self invested proficiency in mechanical arts. His talent in the newly discovered field would lead the way in innovation in communication and technology in general. And as the older he got, he would use these manufactured machinations to skim by the radar of his overly protective parents and go out to experience the world he would otherwise been sheltered to until he was finally old enough to move out and find a place on his own. Although this landed him in trouble with the law several times due to being a novice to the outside.
Eventually, the man would find interest in the most unlikely place, being the medical field. Although not directly dealing with patients of course. He would provide his assets and time into developing different mechanisms and machines to help those in the medical profession behind the scenes. Countless hours of his times would be spent making more and more prototypes, that eventually cause the facility to be one of the most proficient facilities when it came to medical expertise and the death rate had significantly dropped.
Apostle would rarely socialize with the patients, although would allow friendly banter around other staff and occasionally guests. These people would come to be close to him, almost as if a second family and knew all of them rather fondly after spending so many years there.
That was until the building had caught on fire, killing several of those he was close with in the process. While trying to find his own way out, his arm and part of his torso had been crushed by fallen scorched debris, stuck in in the spot until being pried out. Having been escorted out by another gentleman, he had hardly made it out of the building only to see his rescuer die within the flames.
As days after had passed, the media had supposedly traced it to be a mechanical fire, where most of the blame had now shifted onto apostle and blamed on possible machinery of his. Although this was never exactly proven to be one of his machines, he would soon end up dropping his projects and ambitions more and more for technomancy in slight fear that something similar might happen again. He had gone on to teach a beginners course in developing the magical machines, although only ever dabbles in small harmless designs and basics that could hardly make any sort of impact if they did go out of control. He currently lives with his fiance, one of the other doctors that survived the incident unscathed.
