The Wards

<tabber>Coty =

 * During his early High School years, Shane was a member of the football team, and was generally a bully to others. At some point during this time, he lost his virginity to Ricky. Not soon afterwards, when Ricky was ostracized, he told everyone on campus that Shane was gay. The rumor dug in, and eventually Shane left the football team and became rather humbled.
* During the events of Scales and Talons, Shane was possessed by Avarada and he served as the primary antagonist before being freed of the demon in Avarada, by Chris, Liam and Avo.
	+ The possession left Shane mentally unsound, and he would frequently hallucinate that his parents were still alive and well. Nemo, feeling bad for Shane, would appear from time to time, helping Shane out of his psychosis little by little. Though Shane didn't trust Nemo at all at first, he eventually fell for him and the two have been together since the end of High School.
	+ This is helped along by the fact that Shane had a *huge* crush on the twins.
* Despite being a normal person, Shane is athletic and well-built. He frequently practices boxing in his spare time, and can easily hold his own in a fight. His left hook in particular is fast and strong, being able to knock out Kit with a single punch. He's also a very strong and fast swimmer.
	+ He's also incredibly strong-willed, having the grit to get through any situation to attain a goal. He was even able to resist the possession of Avarada from time to time. This headstrong stubbornness is what Nemo loves most about him.
* He was a trucker for two years, and after moving to Cold Springs he got a job driving lumber from the mountains down into town.
* Shane is generally distrustful of people with supernatural powers due to Chris and Liam. Nemo's constant use of Alchemy, Demonology, and casual associations with anything from Witches to Demons is a bitter point of contention between them. Deep down Shane wishes Nemo would resign himself to living a more normal life.
	+ A degree of this distrust extends to Yuri, as he thinks Yuri will end up being a bad influence on Nemo in the long run, though Yuri's presence has made Nemo very happy, so Shane is fine with him being around.
* He is the only normal person in the world.

* Face claim: Boyd Holbrook

 * Despite being an excellent father, he works long and tiring hours as the owner of a landscaping and plumbing business, so he's rarely home on weekdays, and when he is home he sleeps a lot.
* When he spends time with Shane and Coty, it's usually by teaching them things he learned growing up with his father. Boxing, Hunting, Baseball, etc.
* He's very proud of his sons, even Shane. Though he doesn't like that Shane is gay, he loves his son too much to let it bother him, and tries to be as supportive as possible.
* He's closer to Shane than he is to Coty, especially now that Shane has calmed down and become a lot nicer and more responsible.

* Coty knows this, and it's one of the reasons he's so mean to Shane.
* He served in the army when he was younger.
* Shooting and Hunting is his favorite hobby.
* Has a magnificent beard.
* He was crushed into a sphere and killed by Avarada in The Witch Queen's Castle.

* Face claim: Jeffrey Dean Morgan

 * She's much more strict than Clyde is.

* She's also, however, very "progressive".
* When Shane told her and Clyde that he was gay she was very supportive.
* Despite her appearances, she's an NRA member, and loves firearms. She and Clyde first met at a gun show in Houston, Texas.
* She teaches Geometry and Calculus at Murietta High School.
* She enjoys going to her son's sports competitions.

* The two of them get their competitive nature from her, as she generally takes games and competition too seriously. Even small things like Monopoly or Scrabble.
* Frequently tries to find new and interesting ways to make food out of Tuna.
* She was crushed into a sphere and killed by Avarada in The Witch Queen's Castle.
