Here I am with another picspam, the Humans and Ghosts one. The Werewolves one will be posted with last chapter, because there's a little spoiler in it.
About that, be aware that just like the other ones, this picspam contains spoilers for the stories.

Vampires Let's start this picspam with a badass character, our favorite witch, Maja Ivarsson. She's one of the four kids Butch Walker trained as wizards and witches, but despite his hatred to Pete Wentz, she started hanging out at the Manor when she was eighteen. She's very close to William, but she likes taking care of all the boys in the house. She convinced Sisky to become her appreantice and during the first story, she fell in love with Billie Joe, a hunter who (obviously) has had troubles with Butch in the past. For them, there will be a little surprise in the epilogue.
Jon Walker, former thief and con man. He met Pete and Patrick when they saved him in Chicago from a couple of werewolves. Two weeks later he sneaked in the Manor to steal an artifact from Maja's lab, but ended up frozen inthe hall because of the curse contained in said artifact. After talking to Spencer the following day, he decided to join the clan. His ex-girlfriend, Cassie, comes to help them with her friends Haley and Keltie when Ray Toro attacks the Manor. He was badly injured during the battle against Hayley, but thanks to Bianca's help, he survived. He and Spencer moved out of the Manor after the first story and they've recently decided to adopt kids.
Spencer Smith has a troubled and dark past. When his mother left him with nothing more than a note on the fridge, he found himself in need of money to pay the rent and eat. He started gining money in exchange of sexual favors, but the thing escalated until he was almost beaten to death for refusing to do what a customer wanted. Pete and Ryan saved him thanks to Greta, who warned them like she had done for Ryan years before. Ever since arriving, he's been close to Ryan and Brendon, but after Jon joined the clan, the two slowly fell in love. (For more details, see the Joncer prequel) Spencer has a burning passion for research and studied Brian Molko's story, hoping to meet him one day. (First picture is the Vampire Hunting look, second one is the I Slept With look)
Billie Joe Armstrong, a badass hunter from California, who works with two friends, Dirnt and Tré. Toro had turned him a few years before the first story, but thanks to Maja's help and Brendon's will to be turned to remain with Ryan, he was turned back to human. During the first story he has to undergo a series of jokes and magic trick Maja puts him through, and the two end up falling in love. Their relationship turns even stronger during the second story, even when Billie Joe finds out that Maja is Butch's step-daughter. There will also be good news for them in the epilogue.
Mike Carden is a complicated guy. He can be overprotective, especially when it comes to his step-brothers at the Manor. Both his parents were killed when he was a kid and he's lived on the streets until Pete and Patrick saved him from a teenage gang of vampires, the same one that had tried to get Tom to join just a couple of years before. When Cassie helped them against Ray Toro, the two of them immediately got along and soon ended up in a friends-with-benefits kind of relationship, which evolved into something more as the story progressed.
Cassie is Jon's ex-girlfriend and a pretty tough huntress. Apparently, she tried to shoot Jon when she found out he's slept with her brother. She's very close to Keltie and Haley, who are like sisters to her, other then partners for the hunting. She immediately developed a soft spot for Mike when she arrived at the Manor, and her friendship with Jon became stronger when they both accepted each other's new relationship status. At the end of the first story she's revealed to be pregnant; the baby, Patricia Carden, was named after Patrick (Mike's step-dad) and Cassie's grandmother as a demonstration of gratitude. At the end of the second story, they move out of the Manor and leave the business for good, wanting a safer life for the baby.
Adam "Sisky" Siska, the youngest hunter at the Manor, he joined the clan about a year before the first story. He's very close to Mike and William, who always look out for him. He immediately finds himself attracted to Alex and embraces magic with enthusiasm after Maja finds out about his natural talent and convinces him to become her apprentice. His relatioship with Alex grows as the stories progress, but unlike ther couples they decide to remain at the Manor. During his training as a wizard, he causes several accidents, some of them with hilarious results for most part of the Manor inhabitants.
Alex Suarez doesn't talk easily about his past. His family was killed by a pack of werewolves when he was a teenager. He suvived thanks to Ryland's help and ever since then, he's been working as a hunter with the man. When Ryland left the Manor to follow Chizz in Australia, he decided to stay, not wanting to leave Sisky. After the betrayal of his best friend, Nate, he found in his relationship with the boy a reason to smile again, but he'll reveal his real feelings to the boy only after the end of the second story.
Pierre Bouvier isn't a regular occupant of the Manor, he's a ghost. More precisely, he's the ghost of a mercenary. He spent his life kidnapping young boys and girls to sell them to vampire clans and werewolves packs. When one of his deliveries ended badly, Gabe Saporta (who was part of a clan, then) killed him. His body has been buried in the Manor garden for about three centuries, but at the end of the second story, both his and David's bodies are found and burned, effectively allowing them to leave this world for good. During the centuries he planned his revenge, but after seeing Gabe's change and his deep love for William, desisted and helped the clan instead. Despite his "ghost condition", he fell in love with David, even if he's not too keen on showing his affection around the Manor's occupants.
David Desrosiers is the other ghost that lives (well, kind of) in the house. He was killed y Frank Iero not long before Pete and Mikey moved in the house, about the same period Pierre was, but the reason isn't known. Always in a bright mood, he's very detached about his own death, unlike Pierre. He immediately bonded with both Brendon and Tom, leading to a series of pranks played on the other occupants of the house. He reciprocates Pierre's feelings in a quie obvious and loud way, and sacrifices along with him to close the rift at the end of the second story.
Keltie is one of Cassie's friends and partners. She decided to stay at the Manor as well when Cassie revealed to be pregnant. For the entire first story she rejects Tré's flirts and attentions, but she's secretly pleased. When Bob is exorcised, she does whatever she can to help him through the recovery, which results in a friendship. At th end of the first story she finally gives in to Tré and the two become quickly close.
Tré Cool is an eccentric and quite surprisingly smart hunter. He's one of Billie Joe's buddies, but the reason he stayed at the Manor isn't just their friendship. From the first moment he sees Keltie, he glues himself to her... well, let's say arm. When the girl gives in and accepts to date him, they develop a strong bond. They haven't moved out yet, but they have plans about it.
Victoria "Vicky-T" Asher is one of the few girls in the Manor, and the only female huntress who's lived there even before the beginning of the first story, since Maja's mainly a witch and only uses weapons in case of emergency. She's engaged to Travis and even though she loves the job and the people in the house, she can't wait to start a new life with him out of the clan.
Michael Guy Chislett, but he prefers just "Chizz", has been with the clan for just a few months when the first story begins. There's not much information about him, all is known is that he's from Autralia and used to hunt werewolves in the outback. At some point, he and Ryland became more than just friends, even if their relationship starts off as a merely sexual thing. At the end of the first story, he goes back to Australia, but keeps in contact with the clan.
Ryland Blackinton is a pretty good huner who helped Pete and Patrick on more than one occasion: he's the one who helped Pete save Ryan in Vegas. He's also on good terms with Gabe, since it's revealed in the first story that the two keep in contact through phone calls. Even if his relationship with Chizz starts as 'just sex', it slowly turns into something more and at the end of the first story he leaves with the boy. He's very close to Alex and the two keep in contact despite the distance, effectively creating a constant link between the clan and Chizz and Ryland.
Travis McCoy's past is a bit of a mystery, even to Pete and Patrick. All is known is that he's been a mercenary killer for some vampires clan, but stopped doing that job when he received the job to kill Pete. He joined the clan instead. He's in a relationship with Vicky and they're supposed to get married soon and move out of the Manor.
Nate Novaro, already seen in the bad guys section. After betraying the clan and his friends, he's captured in the first story. He's lately revealed to be in one of the cells in the basement, under the effects of a ritual to erase his memory. That will allow him to leave the Manor and build a new life.
So, this one is done as well, I hope you liked it. Let me know if you liked it and if you have questions. Like in the other one, I added some information that wasn't in the story, but since it's part of their history and characterization, I thought it was a nice thing to do.
See you on Sunday with the other picspam and, you know, last chapter. ;)
