Character Description One: Mortecai Ghotiboel

Mortecai is a 5'1", 16 to 17 year old bisexual, cisgender male of Asian decent; Japanese American on his father's side, Korean on his mother's side. He has short black hair, trimmed neatly but rarely well kept. His eye colour is yet unspecified within the story and therefore will not be noted here. Mortecai appears small and meager, seeming submissive and possibly shy. In fact, he is terribly obedient and as such he is easily pressured into things. Mortecai also has a terrible speech impediment for questionable reasons (examined in the story), this impediment makes him unable to form words, though he can make sounds such as laughter. He has not seen or spoken to his mother since he was seven. He met his father (Lucas Ghotiboel) when he was six. Mortecai currently lives in a two bedroom apartment with his father in Hearse Springs, Washington (fictional town, real state). He attends highschool at Hearse Springs highschool, he is a senior. Finally, Mortecai has never had any real friends. There are few people who interact with him on rare occasion, but until meeting Louy no one was truly consistent with him.  

About the Book

The book (Lamia's Children) is about a teen boy (Mortecai Ghotiboel) finding his first group of friends just as he starts developing hallucinations.
I am not entirely sure where the story will go as of yet, but for now it is something of a coming-of-age story with a terrifying twist.
The story is categorized as a horror, although the first few chapters will have a more slice-of-life feel to them. Please try to stick around for the more eerie sections that are soon to come.
