CHARACTER NAME:
Tamblyn Yates
CHARACTER AGE: 25
SPECIES: Witch
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
Tamblyn is from an influential human family who sees magic as something to be shunned—the gifts latent and hidden in their bloodline. At fifteen, Tamblyn’s gifts manifested in the form of telekinetic outburst before settling into something much more tame…if clairvoyance, physical dowsing, and channeling could be called tame.

His parents sent him off to his aunt Margot—the only other living witch in the family—to live. He never spoke willing to his parents again, and after a while, their efforts to remain in his life diminished. His aunt had worked—with the help of her husband Gabe—to help him rein in and control his gifts. Eventually, when none of their efforts worked, Tamblyn had realized that the anger he felt towards his parents was holding him back. When he let that go, his gifts had matured.

Tamblyn thrived with Margot and Gabe, eventually going to culinary and pastry schools. After graduation, he floated through a series of restaurant and bakery jobs and fast relationships with men and women—not really finding where he belonged.

At his aunt’s suggestion, he moved to Siren Cove.

He moved he and his cat—Gus—into a small, perfect apartment. Being the new resident in a town full of magic is a new experience to Tamblyn, but it’s beginning to feel like home.

PERSONALITY:
Tamblyn is a quiet guy. It’s not that he is shy, he just prefers to be an observer. He is the type of guy who—despite his past—sees the good in people. His clairvoyance helps this along, but he prefers to follow his heart rather than his gift.

He is easygoing and doesn’t anger easily.

His gifts don’t help his people skills. When he isn’t careful or he’s distracted, the departed leach into the forefront and he can appear inattentive.
He’s a people pleaser. He likes to see people happy. And when he isn’t making them happy with his desserts, he’s trying to help them in other ways. His physical dowsing comes in handy when helping others find their missing objects. It’s something he doesn’t mind helping with.

Tamblyn is bisexual, but prefers not to advertise or label himself. He appreciates the beauty in everyone. He really wants to find someone to share his heart with, but worries about how his gifts wills affect his potential relationships. He has nightmares almost every night and days where keeping his mental walls up against the departed becomes too hard, and the impending migraines incapacitate him. His gifts have ruined relationships before, but he hopes that someone in Siren Cove—someone who is in the know—can take him flaws and all.

He prefers not to be the life of any party, and would prefer to stay home with his cat, a book, and a mug tea. But he makes an effort to participate in the events in Sire Cove though, because it is starting to slowly feel like home and the residents…friends.

OPINION OF THE RIVALRY:
Tamblyn prefers to stay out of conflict. He’s heard whispers of the rivalry, but refuses to retain the gossip.

LIFESTYLE:
Though he is also an amazing chef, Tamblyn prefers baking. He works at Seaside Bakery. He has a large savings that his parents sent him off with but prefers to live simply—he has a modest apartment that he shares with his cat. Tamblyn spends his time reading books and haunting the stacks of Siren Cove Public Library. He dabbles in playing guitar and loves music.

POWERS &ABILITIES:
Tamblyn has long since come to terms with his abilities. He is a clairvoyant, a physical dowser, and a channeler. His clairvoyance is the lesser of his abilities, with the dowsing and channeling being the most powerful. His gift to converse with the dead sometimes creates conflict in his life. It exhausting, and if he isn’t careful, it can effect his health. He can sometimes feel how someone has died—as if it is happening to him.
