DAD: JACOB ADDAMS
JACOB ADDAMS || MALE || 45-55 || DANIEL DEA KIM
Jacob Addams is the ultimate family man—and so is his husband.
The two met and married more than twenty years ago and together have adopted and raised three children—Sawyer, Del, and Mai. Though both fathers worked to support their children and provide for them the life they deserved, they also took great care to be there as much as possible. Together they raised three wonderful children, supporting them through all of the ups and downs of life. Jacob may not have been prepared for not one, but two of his children to come out as queer/nonbinary, but together he and Roger took it in stride. Their children's identities didn't change anything, and all it meant was that there were a few more pride flags to hang outside their house in Edinburgh.
The Addams family might seem perfect from the outside, but imperfections linger just beneath the surface; what little familial tension the Addams family experiences stems from Jacob's family. Though Jacob's parents learned to support him in the years after he came out, that support does not necessarily extend to his children's identities. Del and Sawyer are queer and nonbinary, respectively, and that has not always sat right with Jacob's parents. There is a difference between being gay and being nonbinary, at least in their minds. It took years for them to call both Addams children by their chosen names, and pronouns are still something that both of Jacob's parents have not come to accept and understand. Jacob is stuck in the middle, supporting his children unconditionally while trying to educate his parents and get them to see the error of their ways. He is no doubt saddened that Del and Sawyer choose to have limited contact with his parents, but he understands and will stand behind their decisions no matter what. He loves all of his children, and he will choose their happiness over everything else.
The Addams family has not been without heartache in the past years; though Del took their Turning in stride, finding a pack and excelling despite their new affliction, Roger and Jacob alike no doubt worry daily about their middle child. The world is less than safe for werewolves, especially now, and Del's capture by the Kindred only served to compound their worry. Del has been rescued, but they have a long road to recovery ahead of them, and they will need their fathers by their side if they have any chance of returning to something close to normal. Add Sawyer's recent divorce, and the Addams fathers have a lot to think about. What lengths will they go to to keep their children safe and protected as the world spirals further into chaos?

PAPA: ROGER ADDAMS
ROGER ADDAMS || MALE || 45-55 || JOHN KRASINSKI
There isn't much that Roger Addams wouldn't do for his family.
Having a family was something Roger had always dreamed of, and though realizing his sexuality made his hope dim temporarily, it makes his happiness and pride in the family he and Jacob have built all the stronger. Mai, Del, and Sawyer are his greatest prides, and he would do anything for them. The plan had even been for Roger to stay at home with the children full time after adopting Del, but financial strains meant he was soon returning to work. Roger is indisputably the more worrisome of the two Addams fathers, though it typically manifests in copious amounts of baked goods and check-ins with his children. He can't imagine his life without Jacob or any of their children, and he prays every day that he never has to find out what that's like.
Roger's coming out experience was significantly smoother and easier than his husband's, and his and his children's relationship with his parents remain significantly more positive than with Jacob's parents. Roger has worked hard in the past years to try and mend the strain between his in-laws and his children, though he knows in the end it is not his place to force either party to change what they want or what they believe.

THE YOUNGEST ADDAMS: MAI ADDAMS
ROLEPLAYER'S CHOICE (FEMALE PREFERRED) || 17-21 || LANA CONDOR
Mai Addams is the youngest of the Addams siblings, third to be adopted and taken in by Jacob and Roger. The Addams fathers don't know much about the situation surrounding Mai's birth and early months, only that she was left at a London orphanage at just over a year old. It was there that Jacob and Roger met her and fell instantly in love, and their two children became three when they opened their home to the toddler. Mai fit in with her siblings wonderfully, and the Addams family was at last complete. Like Del and Sawyer, the start of her life wasn't perfect, but Mai grew up in a warm and loving household with two fathers that supported her unconditionally, no matter the mistakes that she may make or the things that might happen to her.
It has been years since her adoption, and Mai doesn't remember a time before her dads were there for her through every heartbreak and scraped knee, every bad decision she has made and every time she has ever needed them. Now, she is either recently graduated or looking to soon graduate from Hogwarts. Mai is looking to the future, though with the war raging around her, she is probably not sure what future will be left for her when the dust settles and whatever end that waits for the world has arrived.
With everything that has happened to Mai's older siblings in the past years, the past six months especially, it would be no surprise if she is feeling a little forgotten or overlooked. Compared to what Del has been through, Mai has so far escaped the war raging around her untouched. Whether she will stay that way remains to be seen. After all, the Kindred and Followers have proven time and time again that they care little for the people caught in their crossfire.

Maeve's Victim
Everything for Mai is fairly flexible so long as the family dynamic is kept intact. The Addamses are an extremely close-knit family, and I would like to preserve that. Otherwise, Mai is a blank slate, including the name (Mai is a placeholder)!
