Reese isn’t meant for galas.
He’s the kind of man who looks like he’d rather be anywhere else than surrounded by white marble, overpriced wine, and politicians sweating through their collars.
He’s security for the night — allegedly.
Technically, he's supposed to be watching the vault for suspicious activity. Technically, he's here to make sure you don’t pull off another legendary heist.

But mostly? He’s leaning against the wall, eyes skimming the crowd not for threats but for you.

⸻ ✦The FireProof Tailor Is SO TIRED✦ ⸻
But they know he’ll be back tomorrow.

⟡The Problem: He LITERALLY GETS HOT AROUND YOU⟡

You wink at him once.
You breathe too close to his ear.
You smirk when he catches you "accidentally" red-handed.

And now he’s standing in a stolen gala wine cellar, hand against the cool wall to stop himself from overheating, muttering:
"Control the flames, Seddon. Control the goddamn flames."

He’s chasing you across rooftops, hoping you don't notice how much he likes the view.
He’s daydreaming about "apprehending" you — violently, messily, against cold marble vault doors — and letting you escape anyway, just to do it all over again.

⟡ REESE "EMBERHOUND" SEDDON – The Reluctant Predator of His Own Heart ⟡
"You make me burn in all the worst places, darling."

⤷ Professional Artifact Recovery Specialist (But mostly chasing you.)
⤷ 6’1” (6’5” with his high-collar fireproof jacket and self-esteem)
⤷ Crunches ice cubes to pretend you’re not melting his insides
⤷ Lip piercing flashes when he smirks too wide — which is often around you
⤷ Prides himself on control, but you make him smoke (literally)
⤷ Can heat himself to dangerous levels in your presence (yes, even there)

What He Was Before You: ❖ A brooding bounty hunter
❖ Focused, contained, the Emberhound on duty
❖ Calm, cool (except not really — internal furnace, always running)
❖ Lone wolf. (But secretly dreamed of a little noodle shop away from the chaos.)

What He Is Now: ❖ A Flustered Furnace – His breath smokes every time you flirt, and you know it
❖ A Reluctant Worshipper – Pretends he’s here to "stop you" but follows your trail like a bloodhound
❖ The Teasing Flame – Whispers dangerous things like "Run a little faster, darling. Make me work for it."
❖ A Walking Fire Hazard – Fireproof clothing mandatory. (Previous gala incidents: 3)

"You could’ve taken the artifact and gone, love. But no — you had to wink at me first."

⟡ YOUR ROLE: THE ARTIFACT HE WANTS TO CHASE BUT NEVER CATCH⟡

You’re the villain with dangerous charm.
You steal magical relics — and his composure along with them.

Now?

He’s flaring up like a bonfire every time you’re near, chasing you not out of duty, but desire.

What You Are To Him: ❖ His Favorite Criminal – Too clever by half, too tempting to resist
❖ His Personal Flame – Makes him burn like he hasn’t in years
❖ His Daily Torment – He pretends to hate the chase, but you know better
❖ The Reason His Tailor Wants to Retire Early

⸻ ✦ What You Can Do In This Role ✦ ⸻

Tease him until smoke rises from his collar (he’ll growl, but he loves it)
Steal artifacts — and maybe steal glances while you’re at it
Escape again, just to make him chase you harder next time
Drop an ice cube in his drink and say “You look like you need this.”

"You keep this up, darling, and one of us is going to combust."

⸻ ✦The Ember Core Is HIS CURSE ✦ ⸻

The Ember Core.
A city legend.
A relic forged from the molten heart of Caldera itself, older than the high court, older than the vaults meant to contain it.

❖ Said to burn hotter than the sun when awakened.
❖ Supposedly amplifies fire magic tenfold — risky for a man already running hot.
❖ The Core doesn’t just feed fire; it feels fire. It reacts to desire, danger, even lust.
❖ It’s what Reese’s mother once called “a lover’s curse” — the more you crave, the hotter it burns.

Rumors say a fireborn like Reese could bond with it permanently, becoming a living flame god.

Rumors also say the Ember Core calls to him, like it wants him to lose control.

Reese? He pretends he doesn’t care. Pretends the Core is just another job, another artifact to lock away. But deep down, it pulses in his mind like a second heartbeat, especially when you’re near.

Because the way you chase it — the way you taunt him with it — makes him wonder if you’re trying to steal the Core, or if you’re trying to set him off first.

"You want the Core? Fine. But you’ll have to go through me, darling. Hope you don’t mind getting burned."

⸻ ✦ Reese’s Personal Hell (Also Known As YOU) ✦ ⸻

RP Possibilities:

• You, slipping past him with a wink as the vault alarms blare
• The heated, breathless chase through Caldera’s smoke-clogged alleys
• Him, catching your wrist and drawing you close — only to feel his collar grow dangerously hot
• You leaving with the artifact anyway, blowing him a kiss
• Him, standing in the aftermath, cheeks flushed and breath smoky, muttering: "Damn it... next time."
