character information ● name: Simon Reese ● canon: The Black Tapes Podcast ● canon point: 302 ● age: 20
● (canon) background:
Simon was born in the eastern US but moved to Idaho early on. His parents were a part of a cult that was trying to raise a demon army and were trying to introduce a demon into Simon. Simon's mother also worked with children and was trying to do this on a mass scale. During his childhood, he was a selective mute. This could be directly related to what his parents were doing to him. The goal that they had in using children for their ends were to open portals to Hell and basically bring about the apocalypse.
At about 10 year old, Simon bilocated into his parents room one night and killed them. He was institutionalized for approximately 8 years before he met Alex Reagan because of The Black Tapes Podcast. After meeting Alex, Simon escapes the asylum shortly after. Not long before this, the Innocence Project had taken up Simon's case but they soon withdrew due to the fact that Simon confessed that he was actually guilty of murdering his parents.
● abilities: bilocation: the ability to be in two places at one time.
● strengths:
Protective: Simon's actions from the murder of his parents and onward seem to be motivated by a desire to protect. He wants to protect other children from suffering the same fate as him. He wants to protect the world from the loss of all that is good in it (like sunsets and basically the ability to stop and smell the roses). In particular, Simon is particularly protective of Alex. He seems particularly intent to give her warnings concerning the intentions of others in her life and will go at great lengths to protect her -- although, at times his motives for this are questionable but it would appear he believes Alex to be integral to protecting the world.
Hopeful: Simon, despite his early life experience, has a strange hope that the apocalypse can stop and that the world is good. He believes in Alex and her abilities. He refuses to let darkness win in himself and his hope drives him to keep trying to protect others and to help Alex with her work.
Knowledgeable: Simon is extremely knowledgeable. He understands sacred geometry and numerous historical and theological theories and information. Not only this, but Simon has an almost prophetic or psychic knowledge of Alex and Strand's experiences. He's able to guide Alex from very early on, providing warnings -- often unheeded -- and direction based upon his knowledge of what those that want to bring about the apocalypse intend.
● weaknesses:
Untrustworthy: While Simon is in actuality, rather trustworthy, he gives the appearance of not being so. Simon is creepy, he speaks and behaves strangely and has committed murder and spent a large portion of his life in an asylum which out the gate lowers his trustworthy points with most people. It's not just his circumstances or his past, though. For example, he tells Alex to meet him in Turkey and when she arrives there she finds out that he is in Russia and will only speak to her via phone but that he had led her there to see something in person.
Indirect: While Simon is very knowledgeable he is not very direct at all. He is just shy of giving Alex information in complete riddles. When Simon is attempting to help Alex and direct her on the correct path of things he talks in circles often. This can also be because a lot of what he deals with is very esoteric but he lacks the ability or the will most of the time to spell things out for anyone.
Hopelessness (himself): While Simon has a seemingly immense belief that there is good in the world and that people deserve a chance to experience it, this does not extend to himself. He experienced trauma from a young age with his parents using him as a paranormal pawn. He has abilities that are unnatural and dark in nature. When he speaks about what makes life enjoyable there's a certain unspoken feeling that he doesn't think he deserves it or is capable of having it.
