Phlox Reaver, how does one even begin to describe?
Like many Shadowhunters, Phlox was born in Idris and even grew up there for at least some portion of his childhood. The same as many other Nephilim in these times, after his basic teaching in Idris was completed, his family's wanderlust took hold and he was moved all around the world. Only a few years ago, his parents became the Heads of the South Korean Institute but Phlox was not ready to settle indefinitely and so New York, here he comes.
Despite English being his first language, American culture is not what Phlox is used to but it is not to say that he doesn't love it. In fact, the partying and grandoise nature of Americans is just what he loves. As an already boastful and talented Shadow Hunter, Phlox feels he fits right in living in New York and has no plans on leaving any time soon.
Unlike many of his peers, Phlox finds he has no real social issues nor any familial ones--he simply enjoys his every day and takes advantage of all opportunities; and even people. Okay, so maybe he does have some social issues. Phlox can count how many friends he has on one hand but his acquaintances have earned their own notebook, full of numbers and information; complete with a section of those he's burned bridges with. Though he's unlikely to ever admit to it, because of his lack of close friendships he lacks a parabatai and also someone to confide in. It's not easy though, as he tends to get angry quickly and hold grudges.
Many people entice him but no one has ever stopped him in his tracks and it might do him good. As it stands now, Phlox is all about being a Nephilim but he also loves to goof off and enjoy Mundane activities. Mingling with Downworlders isn't forbidden to him either, he is much more open than some of his own, maybe even a bit reckless.
In a nutshell, Phlox is adventurous, brash, confident and excitable (maybe even conniving). He loves to be reckless and to party but he would really like someone to be reckless and party with. Male or Female, Mundane or Downworlder. Just about anything goes, so feel free to plot him up! (And believe you, me. Just because he likes to party doesn't mean he can't kill you in under five seconds... I'm talking to you, Demons).

Lily and Phlox
Lily's pretty reserved when it comes to wild parties but sometimes if she's persuarded by the right people she can be encouraged to let her hair down. But I don't think party buddies would be right for these two. I think at first Lily would be a little intimidated by Phlox especially with his brash attitude. But she'd probably admire his skills as a shadow hunter, I think a friendship would be nice eventually (because Lily has to much of a nervous disposition to be nasty or anything), but maybe and acquaintances to begin with and then perhaps they can grow to trust each other to be kind of trust buddies? They can come to each other for advice and stuff?
bleh tired me = lame ideas. Feel free to shoot it down/add to it/hate it XD

Phlox && Lily
No, no not lame at all! I like it.
She's pretty so Phlox would certainly take a liking to her, if not for the right reasons at first, but once he scoped out her personality he would probably take a genuine liking to her. She's smart and he likes that in others because they can give him a run for his money and he won't feel bored. She could certainly be one of his first real friends in the city and even at all. Maybe she can help him mellow out and he could help her be a bit more bold? And sharing advice on any and everything. Possibly develop into something akin to best friends, if not best friends? Would totally work, feel free to elaborate or shoot anything down as well.

Lily and Phlox
Sounds good : D, I think she'd definetly help him mellow out maybe she could show him around the city? But once they became friends she would love to hang out with him, maybe he could get her to come out of her shell more too? Corrupting Lily could be fun |

Phlox && Lily
I like these ideas, for sure. They'd compliment each other rather well, I think and be a good duo. I think once things got started between them (showing him around sounds like a good idea because no one has done that yet!) they could warm up to each other and the rest could happen from there. So I think the best bet would be to start off with them meeting and maybe doing a little mild exploring of the city or just some areas close to the Institute, if you aren't too busy either one of us could start up a thread for that but I don't want you to feel obligated to do that any time soon, just let me know! 8)

they'd be the dynamic duo of utter awesomeness B), but everything sounds awesome! and I'd honestly love to thread but I'm so threaded up right now and I have threads coming out of my ears, well maybe not literally but when one finishes I'd love to thread with you.

Jace and Phlox!
Jace is almost exactly like Phlox. He doesn't let anyone get to close to him, and he's guarded about his feelings. I think they could actually become really close friends. He's a party animal, so Jace needs a guy friend to party with anyway! They could have each others backs in fights (demonic or not XD) Sorry I'm at work so my ideas are kind of lame O.o Feel free to add anything, take away, or completely reject .

Phlox && Lily
I totally understand and don't mind at all! Just let me know whenever or start up a thread for us whenever you're not busy anymore if you don't feel like bothering to tell me and wait and etc. etc. haha
Phlox && Jace
I think at first, Phlox would probably be standoffish toward Jace, only because they have similar personalities and while it's appealing to him when it's a girl, he'd probably feel... threatened? Confused? about it when it's another boy. Regardless I'm sure that if he found out Jace was a party-type too that he'd have no qualms with hanging out in that kind of setting and it could progress from there. Phlox needs some guy friends since he has none. I don't think the ideas are lame at all! I love everyone's so far. Jace could easily be Phlox's first real guy friend so there could be that kind of sibling closeness that would totally mean having each other's backs in fights! |

I can see that too. Perhaps they could get stuck training with each other or something. Jace would probably hate him at first, them being so alike and all, he would complain about him and everything to. I'm thinking they could go to a party somewhere and see how much they like partying together, perhaps get in a fight and become great friends. Just an idea (:

That sounds like a good idea. They'd probably get paired together for some kind of training exercise or something and be pretty annoyed about it when they soon realize their personalities clash really badly. There'd probably be tension and yeah the two of them would complain and go off to tell their respective friends how much they 'hate that guy' lol Then they could end up at the same party somehow and when stuff goes down they back each other up. Plus have fun together doing whatever. Sounds legit to me.
I dunno if you're busy too but if you want to start a thread with me that'd be cool. If not, like I said above I don't mind waiting at all and I don't mind starting the thread either (would just need to help decide when/where it'd start). |

Yeah that sounds perfect! I can start one later today possibly. Do you want one with them training together first or at a party and just say they've been training together?

Hm... either is fine really but I think if we start off with them training we'd just have to skip to them going out anyway... not much for them to do except train and hate each other haha So maybe a party setting after they've been stuck training together for a few days (or longer, either is fine). Probably haven't been getting along because they're both pretty good (and stubborn) and have been likely purposefully causing each other trouble while training, whether it's being rougher when sparring or just whatever.
If you get ideas for it while you're writing up your post in the thread, feel free to go with them, I don't really mind (like, maybe Jace hurt Phlox or embarrassed him in front of some of the other Nephilim or whatever--or vice versa--I usually have no problem rolling with whatever someone wants to do). So yeah, if you get the chance go for it! |
