Nowell (Volks F17)

Name: Nowell B. Gale (pronounced "Noel")
Age: 14
Gender: male
Birthday: November 15
Family: Parents, grandparents, and sister Nur.
Personality: Nowell is very lighthearted and joyful. He is almost always smiling, and likes to cheer up those around him as well. He has a very strong sense of right and wrong, and feels committed to doing good.
Likes: The O.Z., nature, becoming a Tin Man, the ocean, punk/rock music
Dislikes: The dark, evil, certain green vegetables, people who speak badly about his family.
Mini bio: Nowell is the seventh generation of the Gale family, ruling monarchs of the Outer Zone (O.Z.). He is the first son to be born to the family, and is a direct descendant of both Glenda and the Mystic Man. Since the throne is inherited through the mother, his elder sister will rule after his mother. This leaves him free to pursue his dream of becoming a Tin Man (police officer essentially). After hearing about the Other Side for many years and receiving a lot of radio transmissions, he has decided to come visit for a while.

*Note: Nowell's history and world are based on the interpretation of the Wizard of Oz in the Tin Man miniseries. I've done some embellishing of my own to flesh out his family line and connect the dots, but that is the main basis.*

Crow

One for sorrow, two for mirth,
Three for a wedding, four for a birth,
Five for silver, six for gold,
Seven for a secret not to be told.
Eight for heaven, nine for hell,
And ten for the devil's own sel'.

Name: Jack Corvus, "Crow"
Age: 17 (and then some)
Birthday: October 31st, 1977
Date of death: October 31, 1994
Personality: As Jack, he is strong and at times violent. He knows
how hard life can be and refuses to let it break him. Jack is his
human side that has all of his memories and spunk. As Crow he is
much quieter and very childlike. Bordering on just a bit crazy,
Crow doesn't remember his past very much, and what he does is
mangles and distorted. He is Crow to most people, and Jack to those
he is comfortable with.
Likes: Halloween, black, wings, autumn, pumpkins, soft music,
snuggling, warmth, children
Dislikes: yelling and arguing, rap music, fathers, large birds
Mini Bio: Crow spent his life cowering in fear from his abusive
father James. His mother left when he was ten, and James soon
shifted his anger over to his son. Crow (then known as Jack)
tried desperately to find a way out for himself and his younger
sister Meribell and even resorted to dabbling in witchcraft.
His father was the leader of a small satanic movement, and decided
to sacrifice Jack one day to gain power. He beat Jack and threw
him off the roof of their apartment building, but Jack didn't die.
Instead he awoke confused and without much memory of his past.
For a time he thought he was the spirit of Halloween, but was later
approached by a head Reaper with a job offer. He has since
worked for them as a reaper/psychopomp, ushering the dead over
in his own way.
Fun Fact: Crow smells like autumn, always.
