LN: Jinks
DH: Arcturus Leo Jinks
DW: Zosma Pandora (Atticus) Jinks
DS: Fenrir Oberon Jinks
UPDATE FROM ROUND 0: Zosma Jinks is an odd creature, a minute figure with an apparent bladder apparently the size of a walnut, terrible circulation, freezing hands and a fierce temper. Zosma is the daughter of Madame Athaliah, a television persona akin to Mystic Meg in today's UK, or perhaps the UK of yesteryear. A sham of a mystic, Madame Athaliah made a fortune on her professed psychic gifts and yet Zosma has never really felt all that much warmth towards her mother. Zosma herself makes a living as a personality in circus performances, both live and televised, shooting herself out of a cannon. Well, not literally, but she's the gal being shot of it. She loves it. She's genuinely a bit of a sharp-talking live wire, a sarcastic, savvy, maternal creature who's come to find her profession her life's blood. In her spare time she frequents failing museum and collects now controversial books, but she can't find the strength to be militant for the cause and honestly doesn't know what to do sometimes.
Arcturus Jinks is a member of a governmental body which is a mere rumour. You know when they talk about museums burning down, people dying, people being dragged off never to be seen again? That's Arcturus' business. He doesn't, to be honest, care for it. He hates it, vaguely, in the sense that he's had better jobs than being a government thug who enforces their petty rules. He honestly doesn't care for their ideas, but they pay him. He's seen as a cold, fastidious man, but he's one of those cold people who work on impression and illusion, and in reality he's the same as many individuals.
Arcturus and Zosma met through a business contact of her mother. While initially hating each other and being almost opposite, people often comment about how they bounce off of each other and balance each other's extremes. They rarely team up, and often argue pettily, but when they do they work well together.
YEAR 1; The birth of the first Jinks child was poorly planned. To be honest, Zosma was already pregnant before they got the permit for Fenrir's birth. They contributed for the corruption and the rumors about the system in that Arcturus paid a colleague in the government for the permit, and they paid good money too. Zosma wasn't happy about it. For one, she was de facto not able to work for the duration of her pregnancy and several months afterwards and she loves her job - for second, she was terrified that they were going to be carted off in the hospital for their illegally bought permits. This wasn't the case, and soon her terror became curiosity. During her recovery period she began researching the underground academia further, and enjoying her time even more. She never told Arcturus this, because... how could she? They named their new son Fenrir Oberon, after the naming trend. Arcturus liked the hefty feel of Oberon, but Zosma loved the idea of Fenrir, the wolf that helped the end of the world, and Fenrir Jinks sounded better than Oberon Jinks.
