Notes:

Frenzy Triggers:

Children/Innocents being Harmed.
-this is particularly bad if it's within his sight and it's a more severe trigger the younger the child or the more helpless the person is. It's also a more severe trigger if it's parents/family harming the person.
Abusive Partners
-Hawthorne has a pretty big hate on for abusive partners as well. if he hears about someone abusing their partner or witnesses it, that's a pretty big frenzy trigger.
Being Misgendered
-It's not the highest of his triggers (that's seeing children get hurt) but it's actually a pretty surefire way to get him to frenzy if he's already in a bad mood. This doesn't just apply to being called "she" or a girl but any kind of implication that he's somehow less of a man than anyone else.
The Sabbat
-Not so much when they're mentioned but when/if he becomes aware that a combatant or enemy is Sabbat that's pretty much insta-frenzy for Hawthorne.
Sexual Assault/Harassment
-This is the same as his abusive partners thing. If he encounters someone who's done this/he knows has done this it's a frenzy trigger.
Bigotry
Hawthorne is a big huge SJW and will respond to *any* kind of bigotry with violence (which he did when he was alive too.)

Code of Honor:

  • Never Harm the Defenseless or Innocent
  • Destroy those who do evil/seek to harm the innocent.
    Protect the innocent and defenseless with your life.
  • Never turn down a reasonable* request for help.
    *reasonable = doesn't violate any of the rest of the code.
  • Don't feed without consent on those who are "innocent". Better yet, don't feed on anyone who isn't an asshole.
    Don't steal from anyone who doesn't deserve to be stolen from.
  • Don't allow others to be harmed by your inaction.
  • Respect the lives and identities of others, even if you disagree with them.
  • Don't kill someone where maiming them would prove sufficient to stop them, don't maim someone where restraining them would prove sufficient to stop them and etc.,
  • Kindness is Punk Rock.

 

History

Hawthorne was born Roisin O'Faolan in May of 1987 to Siobhan and Matthew O'Faolan -- his mother was a first gen Irish immigrant and his father the youngest in a long line of Irish Americans living in Chicago. He had a few scattered interactions with the Supernatural as a child -- encounters with ghosts, changelings and other Supernatural beings that were part of his dad's extended family...

As a teenager, Roisin got involved in the punk scene in Chicago and became involved in the local queer scene after coming out as gay (but not trans) to supportive parents when she was sixteen years old. Since she was a little bit more aggressive and violent than other girls, Roisin looked for ways to channel that anger and aggression into something positive -- which lead to her taking up several self-defense classes. Mostly, she focused on learning to leverage the fact that she was smaller than her opponents to her advantage -- focusing on speed and accuracy of blows more than power.

She had a lot of girlfriends as a teenager and continued to have difficulty committing to a relationship into her college years -- though she usually tried to remain friends with her exes. Despite a valiant effort, Roisin ended up failing college and started working as a bouncer at a local lesbian club -- which she excelled at, even if it started getting her dragged into more of the Supernatural than she would've liked.

From the age of twenty, Roisin had been questioning her gender identity (and to a lesser extent, her sexual identity). She'd never felt "connected" to being a girl/woman and despite coming to the understanding that being a "woman" didn't mean she had to embrace "femininity" or the expected feminine roles and had absolutely embraced being masculine woman and a butch lesbian, she didn't feel quite right.

In 2011, Roisin was pretty sure she had her life together and was going in the direction she wanted: she'd been together with the same girl for the last 9 months, they'd moved in together and she had just started to get a name for herself in the local MMA/UFC circles...

On top of that, Roisin had been discussing her identity issues with her girlfriend -- the fact that it wasn't femininity that was the issue but rather, the idea of being a woman at all .. And found that her girlfriend was incredibly supportive. As such, Roisin had started to experiment with using the name Hawthorne and was looking into the process of medical transition after spending the last four years struggling so much.

Unfortunately, Hawthorne would find his life plans being disrupted and be dragged into the world of the supernatural in an irreversible way when he was embraced by a member of the Sabbat on his way home from a Halloween party with his girlfriend.

To this day, Hawthorne has no idea what happened or how they were ambushed -- all he can remember is something hitting him from behind, taking him surprise and knocking him out. The next thing he knew, everything was dark and it felt like the weight of the earth itself was pushing down on top of him. Every attempt to pull in breath felt unnatural but more than that -- every attempt only got him a mouthful of dirt. In a blind panic, he managed to claw his way out of the shallow grave only to be scooped up and thrown into a battle he had no idea existed before that night. The next few nights in Hawthorne's memory are a blur of blood, pain, fear and rage.

Hawthorne was "lucky" enough to be the only Sabbat survivors from the attack and was taken in his Sire's pack... The trauma of his Embrace, the loss of his girlfriend and the shock of what he was forced into immediately after sort of shattered Hawthorne -- and being forced into Creation Rites only made that worse. Desperate for approval and desperate to get away from remembering his hopes and plans for mortal life, Hawthorne dove into being Sabbat with the same passion he'd tackled everything else in his life. And at least the Sabbat didn't seem to give a fuck about being gay, straight or trans -- that was human bullshit. He was even able to get a few favors from a local Tzimisce to help him get a body that suited him a little bit better (something he does not like to remember even remotely.)

And so, for six years, Hawthorne was a devoted member of the Sabbat, letting his humanity and connection to it degrade... Despite the fact that something kept nagging at him -- something itched in the back of his mind that he didn't like this. He didn't like who he had become, he didn't like what he was doing. Some part of him felt sick at it and try as he might, he couldn't quite excise that part of himself. Eventually, those feelings came to a head and Hawthorne made his break for it -- following a particularly disastrous frenzy that occured because he found out that several members of his pack had a taste for innocence -- and the younger, the better... This all culminated in diablerizing his Sire and making a run for it. He ran for the outskirts of Chicago and got involved with a group of Anarchs operating in the Suburbs.

Unfortunately, that didn't last for too long and about a week before the start of the story, Hawthorne's little gang of former-Sabbat anarchs got wiped out by the Sabbat, once again leaving Hawthorne the only survivor.

(i'll vaguely buffy-fy this later)
