Spent most of his childhood living in an apartment in the city with his parents
At age 13, his apartment building was set on fire (by a witch or fae maybe???) while he was in school which killed ten people including his parents
Was soon adopted by an incredibly rich, single, elderly woman named Constance Dove and lived with her in her Barnet mansion along with her two servants, Spring and Cogg
Constance died of an illness when Clive was 18, leading him to inherit the mansion along with her fortune
After graduating secondary school, Clive took a job as a part-time journalist so he could use their resources to investigate the cause of the fire that killed his parents, but because it was caused by supernatural forces he was unable to find any information at all, initially fueling a deep distrust for the government
Is now aware of the supernatural world (details on how he discovered it have yet to be determined) and the possibility that whoever killed his parents may not have been human
Quit his job as a journalist to join the outreach group at Redbright Institute, mostly to help protect fellow humans and use his connections there to continue to investigate his parents' deaths from a supernatural angle
Terminated Spring and Cogg's employment and now lives alone, but still sees them semi-regularly
PERSONALITY: On the surface, Clive is a gentle, friendly guy who generally gets along with people easily and can also be a little flirty, especially towards women. Despite this, he doesn't get too close to people very often even among his own species, but those who do manage to get close to him will find that Clive is an extremely loyal friend who will do just about anything to protect them. On the other hand, he's also a very dedicated enemy - deep down he has an incredibly malicious, vengeful side that wants to make anyone who has ever wronged him or his loved ones suffer as much as possible, and will use underhanded tactics to do so.
Although he works for the Redbright Institute, which promotes acceptance of all species, Clive is actually very distrustful of most supernatural beings, especially vampires, werewolves, and faes (doubly so for Unseelie faes). All he really cares about is protecting fellow humans from supernatural threats and hunting down the being responsible for the deaths of his parents so he can exact his revenge against them. He takes pride in his human status and tries to accept as little supernatural assistance as possible, though he will arm himself with magical items if necessary to protect himself or those he cares about.
LOOKING FOR:
Friends or friendly acquaintances, especially non-human - maybe someone that would have introduced him to the supernatural world?
Friends with benefits! Clive does like to engage in some sexual activity on occasion without being in a serious relationship. Can be either gender but must be (or appear to be) age 18-30, and if not human, must be able to pass as one.
A witch or fae that miiiight have burned down an apartment building ten years ago???
People he can use to help him investigate the deaths of his parents
ANYTHING REALLY I'm not picky, if you have any other ideas for CR then please come at me.
