Vivian Arkewright (Poppy): Twin sister, only family left. Never leave him.

Julian (Poppy): Everything about him is very pretty, and very terrifying. Rhys knows bad, he knows unhealthy and dangerous, because he attracts it, reaches out, makes himself vulnerable. Take advantage of it. Make him sick in new and beautiful ways. Please?

Enrique Castillo (Poppy): He's staying in Rhys' penthouse, and he's pretty sure this puppy man is a golddigger type, but somehow that only makes him more attracted. Why is his type like this? He's crushing to a painful extent. So cute. So soft. He makes Rhys very needy inside, and had him begging, making excuses, for him to stay. Stupid. Lonely. Sentimental. Idiot. He'll give him gifts, he'll lend him money, if it all just means he'll stay. What's the use of wealth if you're never happy? Rhys would prefer wasting his money on a little happiness, rather than nothing at all.

Klaus Rosales (Me): He scares the shit out of Rhys, but is also really hilarious? Note to self, being a master thief in the presence of a greed demon- who's been hoarding treasures for years, how tempting- leads to a lot of tension. This guy hates him, literally threatened and then bribed him in order to not have anything stolen, while also using Rhys' services for himself. Temporary boss and always hate club member? Sometimes they fuck, too, it's kinda gross and really hot. Haha.

✩ Events of backstory. Pissed off a lot of people, impressed around the same amount. Klaus Rosales was a bit of both, and he got to Rhys before he could get to him. They have an arrangement now.

✩ Rhys has a fateful encounter with Julian Antoinette. Is screwed both literally and figuratively.

✩ Rhys steals Julian's favorite painting for valentines day, being very flashy about the whole thing. He's smug.

✩ For tsunami month, Rhys goes looting, of course, of course! Teams up with Genevieve Pierce, then later, as he's a squishy human, begs to be let into Crowther mansion with them for safety. Rhys has to make a magically binding contract with Alva Crowther to be let in, because otherwise, he won't be able to not steal anything. He's just a modest kleptomaniac.

✩ Rhys leads a cop on a goose chase after a heist, then grabs a slurpee when the poor guy is too tired to do anything, and chats him up.

Nerea Rosales (NPC): His superstar mom. They're super close, and text a lot, as well as having loud, angry, gossip based phone calls in spanish that spook anyone nearby. She's one of the only people he'll attempt to behave for, in order for her to take him along as a guest to her celebrity parties. She also takes him on vacations, and comes to visit him in Manta Carlos. Klaus received his rose motif from her.

Mammon (NPC): Greed dad! Also super close. Klaus goes to check in with him in hell a lot. Mammon taught him a great deal about anything and everything, and clearly favors him, seeing charm and potential from the very beginning of his life and onward since then. What a fantastic family. Klaus received his ridiculous love of sunglasses from him.

Vito Rosales (Poppy): The second in command to Klaus' gang and his advisor, ever since the man lost his eye in defense of Klaus. They're also now fiances! Klaus trusts him with everything. His money, possessions, organization, and his children. When Klaus is guardian to a child, you can almost guarantee Vito has joint custody, and may or may not be known to them as 'snake dad'. Klaus doesn't know what he'd do without him, at this point.

Quintessa Rosales (Sashi): Sniper daughter! She's technically his cousin, but Klaus took her in when she was five, and became a better father figure than his uncle ever was. He firmly thinks of her as his own, as raising someone since when you were eighteen would definitely cause. She's grown up with the gang. He's so proud of her.

Eroshay Rosales (Foxy): She's sharp, and has so much potential in her. Something made her distant, but Klaus knows he can break through that. She likes to be both snippy and endlessly curious with him. She's his darling youngest daughter now.

Addy Rosales (Marie): Daughter, another technical cousin. Bright, bouncy lust baby. She's his little kitten princess, and seems to take after him in flirtatious habits.

Sherry Rosales (Claire): Newest daughter! Her father sucks and didn't want her, so you know what that means. Klaus' child now. She's a huge sweetheart.

Mikhainon (Poppy): Klaus went through this whole ritual just to get a gay demon boyfriend. Super gay. They're practically married. Klaus also happens to very literally own him, aha. Mikh is Klaus' personal god. He's never letting him go- they're both bonded and immortal, and the divorce would be way too ugly. Besides. Why would he want to? Klaus is crazy about him. Gayest demon.

Cecil Grey Lovette (Poppy): Star of a (currently) long distance boyfriend. Klaus adores him in the sappiest of ways. He also gets literally fucked to death a lot by Cecil- and listen, it's pretty damn enjoyable, don't judge him. An addictive person. Yet calming, in a way Klaus hasn't experienced before. And a huge cutie dork. They're in love. They're in love!!

Neon (Poppy): Smitten for the babe with a sweet tooth that tortured and killed him. Don't worry, Klaus was asking for it. Aw, fuck, he really loves this man, he's very likable and Klaus is very soft. The sex is great. The hate stings a bit, as much as Klaus acts like he doesn't care, because it makes Neon more closed off and less interested in hand holding. Klaus really wants to hold hands.

Eliana Ria (Foxy): Little firecracker, and even more of a troublemaker. She's very entertaining, and they get along extremely well. Was away, is now back to be flashy in Manta Carlos. And listen... she's only technically older than him. Lover and employee.

Chloe Black (Kait): Mikh's daughter, she's adorable. Can Klaus be step-helldad? He's very proud of the things she's doing in with the Demonic Student Union, and thinks overall that Chloe is a very smart, lovely young girl.

Gladys Avarita (Sashi): Greed half sibling, his baby sister, an absolute cutie he's been named caretaker to while she stays in Manta Carlos. Adopted. You're going to be just like your older brother when you grow up, kiddo, you're going to be a star.

Abia Defan (Sashi): Business partner and girlfriend. Abia is possibly the most adorable druglord to ever exist, and Klaus appreciates that. He showers her with gifts and attention whenever he can.

Felix Verma (Poppy): Fun fact, this is not what a straight person looks or acts like, kids! Sharp and pretty, something's vaguely off here, but Klaus can't help being enamored.

Naomi Misora (Sashi): Shooting star. He met her at an academy hosted pizza party, funnily enough. He played talent agent for her and helped her become a real singer, dancer, and actor. He's only a bit pouty over her getting an exclusive boyfriend.

Roa Rosales (Maximum Fatalis): Jeez, kid, that's a rough parent situation! Endless custody battle. You know the drill. Klaus' child now. Another teenager, too, wow.

Cerise Lycoris (Sashi): A baby wrath demon and, not surprisingly, troublemaker. She'd probably happily watch the world burn, and then listens to her older brother and does as he says when he gently scolds her. Apparently she's fascinated by him, whatever that means, and Klaus is delighted. Employee.

Locust (Maximum Fatalis): Aw. Precious little brother, you can't actually eat everything, and Klaus almost feels bad for telling you that. This gluttony baby, too, listens to his big brother- as long as Klaus says something belongs to him. He'll pout about it, but he listens. These kids are so adorable and amusing, ready to act dark but still obviously kids in his mind.

Jack (Poppy): Oh my god. It's Mikh's super salty ex. He's precious and hilarious along with the salt. He and Klaus make out sometimes.

Cecily (Foxy): Hellion's cute maid. She lives with the Rosales family.

Angelo Genovese (Thoth): Shay's friend and Jack's roommate. A cop with mafia origins. Klaus is pretty amused by him, and wants to win him over.

Nacho (Poppy): An adorable sheep boy. Why does he have to be in an exclusive relationship? Ew. Klaus is going to keep flirting and touching his fluffy hair either way. He sells drugs for Klaus.

Damon Vesper (Me): Cutie corrupt cop Klaus works with, very useful. He used to flirt with him a lot, and the response wasn't positive (but it sure was funny!), but he backed off a bit since Damon just got married.

Crow (Poppy): This woman. This uptight, shitty justicelord of the highest degree. Don't touch him or his stuff. A genuine threat, and lucky she's not dead for that yet. Nightmare cop seems fond of her for whatever reason, and manages to keep the peace between her and Klaus. For now. She'd be cute if she wasn't insistent on being so terribly dull and annoying.

Rhys Arkewright (Me): Wow, the nerve of this fucker. Showed up in Manta Carlos and started stealing from whoever the fuck he wanted, and Klaus went out of his way to have a talk with him. Now he sometimes works for Klaus, and is also paid (and threatened, Klaus isn't afraid to kill him, valuable powers or not, you're not immortal buddy!) not to steal from him. Klaus kinda hates his guts? They also have sex sometimes. The man is attractive, whatever, and they have to relieve the tension in non-murder ways somehow.

✩ Events of backstory. Earns a lot of enemies, friends, lovers, and kids.

✩ Klaus happily takes in his baby sister Gladys.

✩ Klaus sets up Abia Defan for the funsies, and later receives quite the lecture for it- which he's kind of into, so. Worth.

✩ Klaus sets out to make Mikhainon his, intoxicated before they'd even formally met. He introduces himself after being invited to a crime party, and immediately gets intense, adoring his pretty redhead demon. Soon after these events, Klaus goes all out to summon Mikh's bigger self. He requests to be given his well deserved boyfriend and some hot eldritch monster sex. No regrets.

✩ Klaus bumps into Mikh's salty ex-boyfriend (one of many, probably), Jack, just as a total coincidence. He quickly grows fond of the man, extremely amused by his tastes in lovers, and decides to reward that by biting him a lot.

✩ Klaus gets himself murdered by Neon. He makes it weird. After he comes back, he remains absolutely smitten, and fully ready to court Neon, just as he'd promised. Klaus gives him chocolate, and they fuck all night.

✩ Klaus gives Mikh some beautiful rose bushes. They can be used for gay aesthetic purposes, and generic romantic gifts to others, which Klaus thinks of as a very amusing inside joke.

✩ It's love at first sight with Klaus and Cecil, meeting at a celebrity party and barely being able to keep their hands off of each other. They fuck excessively and adore each other. They overdo it, Klaus gets literally fucked to death by having his affection (and life force, through that) eaten. Cecil is distressed, but Klaus quickly comes back to life, and doesn't mind the murder thing at all. Quite the opposite! Long story short, they're very in love.

✩ Klaus sends out valentines, showering Mikhainon in particular with gifts, being obnoxious with Neon and Abia, and offers a general handout (with cash and hatemail contest details) due to having too damn many connections.

✩ Klaus antagonizes a dragon princess in order to toughen her up, and just for his own entertainment. She nearly eats him, and Klaus gives her his number. They're friends now.

✩ Klaus and Mikh send their family members cake to congratulate them on having sex with each other.

✩ Klaus reunites with Eliana (after sending her sex cake), his cute troublesome lust cousin, to catch up and talk about work. Except, he happens to have ulterior motives and past mistakes to make up for.

✩ Klaus goes on vacation to hawaii with Mikh, plus some family members and their tag alongs, to avoid the tsunami. Klaus talks to and reassures Mikh about being a dad, then they rush off to go fuck. Later, Klaus introduces his boyfriend to his celebrity, vacation veteran star of a mother, Nerea Rosales. She finds her almost (but not) son-in-law rather relatable, and they get along famously.

✩ Klaus is sought out by a loyal family servant, Cecily, and becomes a keeper.

✩ Felix sneaks into a saturday Rosales gang meeting for a long con. Klaus is smitten. (What do you mean you're straight, you absolute fucking liar? That sounds fake, and also, not okay.)

✩ Klaus shows a birthday girl a proper good time.

✩ Klaus shoos a little girl away from the aftermath of a massacre, treats her to ice cream, and scares the hell out of her. The last bit is (mostly) unintentional, because he's very fond of her, and wants to teach her a few useful lessons.

✩ Klaus welcomes a family member he hasn't met before, Pan, as his own.

✩ Klaus welcomes his long-distance boyfriend Cecil back to Manta Carlos. They're gay and cry at the airport. Then they go to Cecil's new place and stay in to have sex for literal days. Nice.

✩ Klaus and Vito take care of a traitor.

✩ Shay calls Klaus in a moment of need, and he goes to pick her up.

✩ April 20th 2016, Klaus and Vito adopt Shay.

✩ Klaus and Shay talk some things out.

✩ Klaus goes to dinner with Shay and her cop friend Angelo.

✩ Klaus instantly adopts Shay's new friend Sherry.

✩ Klaus and Vito make some serious decisions, deciding to move the kids into Vito's new mansion and... that they're going to get married.

✩ Shay's birthday! We love you, sweetheart!

✩ Klaus takes in Roa as a new Rosales addition, since his parents are having an endless custody battle.

Jett Lavelle (Foxy): Best friend, boyfriend, occasional enemy and regular pain. Old college roommate, too, their history is extensive and chaotic. He's an oddly solid presence, for someone like Toby, despite both of them being so volatile.

Jeong Hun Ju-Min (Claire): Best friend, boyfriend, not an enemy but definitely bitey. Cute.

Felix Verma (Poppy): Cop not-boyfriend, and partner in Toby's shiny new criminal informant work. Felix's wires are wrong, just like Toby's, and he's very, very comfortable. Toby loves him dearly, without any malicious feelings, and wants him to stay. Please, please stay. He can't feel like that again.

Cecil Grey Lovette (Poppy): They hate each other. Toby's his willing fucktoy, and is overall obsessed. His feelings are a little more fluid, as well, and he loves him just as much as he hates him. His crushing has been getting more awkward and dorky lately. He stalks Cecil fairly actively.

Eroshay Rosales (Foxy): A sharp little girl who thinks she can play around with dangerous adults. Toby's soft about her, but isn't sure how to handle her, because she often wants too much from him and he can't understand. He briefly struggled with inappropriate emotions towards her that made him want to cry, the reason he avoided children so much in the first place, but they've passed and he's very relieved for it. He worries, though. He worries, with her behavior, she'll get herself into it despite his warnings and regret it for the rest of her life. Like he did.

Vincenzo Maria Fontana (Poppy): Infamous local menace, fascinating monster. A friend, apparently. He won't complain, and hopes to get to know him better in the future.

Addy Rosales (Marie): A stupid, idiot child. He doesn't like her, and wants to kick her while she's down.

✩ Events of backstory.

✩ Had Jett as a college roommate, second term of his first year onward. Met Jeje through Jett when he was shoved into one of Toby's schemes.

✩ Toby antagonizes Cecil, and has trainwreck sex with him after a failed murder attempt.

✩ Cecil visits Toby's store to fuck with him in more ways than one.

✩ Toby sets up a show in a cursed funhouse, and when people get trapped inside, has Jett play evil clown. This goes well.

✩ Toby meets Shay again at the studio after first interacting in the funhouse.

✩ Toby gets himself eaten by a wendigo. He enjoys it, of course.

✩ Toby meets a cop, has a crush, and sends him a part of a dead girl. Then, the cop invites him out to dinner. Go figure.

✩ Toby has to contribute to the Founder's Day celebration, as a local business owner, and does so by working with Cecil, who's performing. And smuggling him food on a break.

✩ Toby and Shay have a pretty heavy talk.

✩ Felix finds out what Toby does. Toby ends up, funnily enough, becoming a criminal informant and deciding to be Felix's partner.

✩ Jeje's birthday.

✩ Toby helps Jett experiment.

✩ Felix and Toby visit The Butcher's old lair. It isn't quite as empty as expected.

✩ Felix and Toby set up a plan to catch Billy 'The Butcher' Graham, using Toby as bait. The plan doesn't go quite as expected thanks to Toxin's interference. Toby has to distract Billy. Finally, Felix kills Billy, and he and Toby go home.

✩ Toby and Felix's arc comes to a climax on Christmas, and has an extremely happy ending, to their surprise. They get married! After, in the evening, they're cozy with their new family.
