My character (muse a) was born with several impulse control issues, including Tourette’s syndrome, pica, and several more that have not been diagnosed. He hides his pica well-enough, and all of his other unfortunate disorders are disguised as nothing more than him being an average, hyper teenage boy. He’s managed to make plenty of friends, and nobody really suspects that he has anything worse than ADHD.

Unfortunately, his parents are not so clueless about his disorders (they had him diagnosed and rediagnosed several times, and it’s not hard to notice whenever he tries to eat paint chips). For most of his life, one of the two has been around to keep him safe. However, with his father going back to work, and a promotion for his mother meaning plenty of late nights and business trips keeping her busy, they’ve decided to hire a babysitter - a rather uncool thing for a seventeen year old to have.

The worst part of it all is when they hire muse b, a classmate of muse a’s. Also fairly popular, muse b is much more put together than muse a, striving to get into a good college, talented at everything he tries. The two know each other to an extent, but while muse b goes to plenty of parties and hangs out with a similar crowd to muse a, he’s always found the hyperactive teen a little too much for him. With both of them trying to make the most out of this awkward situation, and muse b trying to understand the full extent of muse a’s mental issues, they end up starting to become closer than just friends, but it’s only made more complicated by muse a always living in fear that muse b might reveal his problems to the rest of the world.

In this universe, there are two types of people: normal people, who are destined to have normal careers and normal lives, and gifted people, who are destined to have adventures, and what are considered 'adventure' careers, things that range from things like dragon riders and knights to pirates - anything that we would consider part of a fairy tale in our universe.

Abraham Padgett Sharp was a special kind of gifted. He had three powers: the ability to speak to animals, the ability to breathe underwater, and the equivalent of a built-in GPS system. All of these making him the perfect candidate to be a pirate, ignoring the fact that he's also clumsy, weak, and would be more at home if he were a college professor.

your character was a star pirate, with the ability to control an entire army that couldn't be fought: he could control spirits, both inside of the living and the spirits of the dead. One night, his crew took everything from him, except for his ship, and disappeared. Outraged, he decided to track them all down and get his revenge. The only problem being his awful sense of direction, his one flaw. After hearing tales of Abraham, the perfect navigator, your character decided that he knew how he was going to find his former crew. He was going to kidnap Abraham.

muse a (my character) was raised in an open, accepting family by their dfab transgender mother and his music loving, creative type father. They were brought up believing that the most important thing in the world was loving others and loving oneself, which a had done their entire life. They considered everyone a potential friend, even those who, before they knew it, would be willing to harm them due to their 'lifestyle' - openly gay and agender, a was an easy target for ridicule outside of their diverse city and liberal private school. However, in a world where there were still multitudes working against their freedom to be themself, a found happiness in their friends and family, their loving, if somewhat controlling, boyfriend, and the performing arts - singing, dancing, and, their absolute favorite, acting.

muse b was not taught to be so accepting. He was raised in a harshly religious houshold, taught to believe that non-Christians were demons, that same-sex marriage was an abomination and that the only true way to happiness was through devout faith and following God. He trusted and respected his parents and accepted what he was taught, with some hesitation that was never voiced, as he truly believed that they knew best. However, when he was fifteen, both of his parents were arrested for first degree murder. He spent a year bouncing from foster home to foster home before being adopted by a single woman, who allowed him to continue practicing his religion, but detested his discriminatory attitude and enrolled him in a diverse private school where he would spend his last two years of high school learning to accept people whose beliefs were different than his own. He would also be assigned another student, someone who'd been going to the school longer than he had, to be his guide: that guide was a.

As if none of this was bad enough, b was soon met with another problem. He had auditioned to be in the school's production of Frozen. He got the part of Kristoff; however, the actress playing Anna broke her leg during the first rehearsal... and a, whose mere existence conflicted with every one of b's beliefs, was the understudy. a was absolutely ecstatic, but b was going to have to take some time to accept it, and, in the process, learn that not everything he had been raised to believe was true.
