til now. Rhys' life started out teeth achingly perfect. A little house in Mystic Falls, parents who met and fell in love over dozens of DnD campaigns. Just a normal family, one that should've had decades of the white picket fence thing but when Rhys' mother died of a ruptured aneurysm when before he was three all of that drifted away. He ended up raised by his dad, whose grief had him struggling to hold on for his kid. Rhys grew up trying to take the pressure off of his dad, keeping his mom's store ticking over even from a young age. Like both of his parents he grew up unashamedly geeky, an absolutely honest kid up until his powers started coming in as a teenager. Seeing it as some sort of superhero stuff, Rhys was worried enough to avoid telling his dad, but hasn't started really fearing it until lately. Not it seems as though he's seeing things he never wanted to from objects he's touched. It seems like an impossibility that he's going to end up getting to the end of his time at Whitmore without finding out that the things you can kill with a couple of dice during a game are really lurking on the streets of Mystic Falls.
friends. Rhys is the sort of kid who never really fell in with the cliques in school. He was in the same year as people like Elena Gilbert or Matt Donovan, but always remained one of those kids in the background. He had his little group that he'd hang out with, the same kids are still friendly with him now. Show your own geeky side or just toss a good morning at him and Rhys is likely to catch you up in that infectious friendliness.
enemies. Rhys isn't the sort to make them. Friendly, warm, the sort of guy you can lean on, he tends to veer well away from arguments, especially the sort that get violent. Outside of that Rhys is unaware of what he is and is also completely unaware of those who might target him for it.
family. Up until his mom died the McEvoys seemed like a perfect family. A mom who ran a kitsch shop in town, a dad who filled its shelves with comic books. On the surface there were no secrets but his mom had been hiding one - being a psychic ran in her family. Now it's just Rhys and his dad, muddling on together without his mom to explain what was going on.
lovers. Girls have come and gone for Rhys but he's never settled for long or fallen into anything serious. He only had vague memories of how his parents had been together but in his head that's what a great love should be, something you commit too, a love that goes on beyond death. He's not closed off to that but so far nobody has ever filled that role for him.
connections.
