( MAXENCE DANET-FAUVEL, 20, HE/HIM )┊ SALEM SKELLINGTON is the child of JACK & SALLY and they have THREE SIBLINGS. they seem to enjoy living in auradon. i’ve heard they’re known to be SINCERE + DEPENDENT. we’ll be keeping an eye on them to see how they’ll write their own story.
TW MENTIONS OF ADDICTION
the middle son of the pumpkin king
salem is pansexual and hyperactive af
he’s got very low and high moods due to the constant smoking and drinking he does
they are his unhealthy coping methods for dealing with the voices of the dead that constantly want to talk to him
in halloween town, he was a ghost and so as a normal human in auradon, he still has ties to the after life that let him (often unwillingly) speak with spirits
he found out that being under the influence helps keep the voice away because it weakens his mental capabilities and therefore weakens the connections
the spirits don’t scare him considering he was surrounded by all sorts of supernatural creatures in his home town but the spirits that linger behind and speak with him often had tragic or unexpected ends and take his mind down very dark roads
he keeps his ability a secret from his parents because he knows they would want him to learn how to use it when he would rather get rid of it all together
his siblings might be the only ones that know about his abilities, depending how close they are
but anyone that does know his secret, siblings included, expect him to be very clingy and constantly seeking them out for comfort
also since becoming human, he’s gotten tattoos that resemble his mother’s ragdoll stitches, they wrap around his arms, legs, throat, and even his chest (think simple black lines, nothing graphic). he’s very much a mama’s boy so he did them to honor her and because he could never get tattoos as a ghost. his mother did draw the line at getting them on his face when he told her about his idea.
his parents give him an allowance for rent but he does odd jobs here and there to earn cash for his unhealthy addictions but those addictions never allow him to keep a job for long
overall, he seems very happy and sometimes annoyingly immature but he’s a very genuine guy that uses a smile to mask a lot of pain.
WANTED CONNECTIONS/PLOTS
roommates;; could be someone he’s letting crash at his place for free since his parents pay his rent or someone that pays half the rent and he just pockets the extra cash
ex-friends;; a friendship that ended probably because they couldn’t cope with his wild ways and would rather leave than see him spiral out of control
exes;; most likely ended for similar reasons as above or they both could have been toxic partners and realized they were only dragging each other down
good influence;; he needs any good influence he can get or at least someone that’s willing to check on him once in awhile to make sure he’s alive
secret keeper;; somebody outside of his siblings that he’s trusted with his secret, the why can be plotted out
childhood friends;; bring him some friends from halloween town !
manipulator;; a vk or villain that found out about his ability and wants to use it for their own gain or they see how unstable he is and want to exploit that since he’s the son of jack skellington
unrequited crush;; somebody that he’s crushing on but either won’t let himself admit it because he knows he would be bad for them or they know but can’t return his feelings unless he’s willing to clean up his act
toxic friendship;; anyone with the same/similar bad habits as him
leave a like if you want to plot with him !
