Basics Hello, I am Thatcher's mun. I work a fulltime job Monday through Friday, but I enjoy roleplaying in my free time. My most active days are Mondays. I am very welcoming and inviting, I hope that we can form IC and OOC bonds. My DMs are always open so I'll be so happy to see I have a message waiting for me. If I happen to miss your DM, please poke me as MeWe probably didn't give me a notification. I will never ignore someone on purpose, so please do message me if I haven't replied in a few days.. Mains & Ships Please be aware that thatcher is married! he is married and very committed to Joonwoo Lee, so I will not be taking on any smut threads. Though I am very open to dark threads and other nsfw topics so long as they are not smut. Thank you for understanding!
Interactions My DMs are for OOC interactions only. I prefer to keep all IC interactions in threads or the IC group chats. If you would like to use DMs for an IC interaction, please do ask me ahead of time. I tend to make a group for such interactions so it doesn't interfere with our OOC conversations. Aside from that I usually reply to threads within two weeks. If I missed a reply past the two week mark, feel free to gently nudge me via a direct message or emoji-ing my last reply. Either will work for me! Triggers I currently do not have any triggers. This means that any ideas for plots that fall within the rules and guidelines for Night World will be met with willingness to discuss. Please be aware though that I have the right to deny any plot idea that I am not comfortable with at the time. I will suggest an alternative for us so we can still plot together.

biography
The countryside had nothing to offer for the newest member of the Leeratanakajorn family. Born into poverty they hoped that their child would be able to escape the fat that they found themselves in. Always going hungry, having to collect rainwater to drink, barely having enough clothes to keep covered from the harshness of the sun. They had hope for their child, whom they named Thatcher after the judge in “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” the only book the couple owned.Without any money they couldn’t afford to feed, cloth, or even educate their child. The only thing they could do was read Mark Twain to him. He loved listening to stories and when he was old enough the young boy seemed to only talk in stories. He was so bright for his age and his parents wanted to give him more, so much more than they ever could. The only way their child would be able to escape the clutches of poverty was to venture out of the countryside and into the city. Wanting their son to get a proper education and live a good life without want or worry they sent him off to Bangkok. Thatcher becomes one of the 20,000 street children to their own devices, waiting for someone to give them a better life than his parents ever could.As a young boy it was easier for Thatcher to thrive on the streets. People took pity seeing a five year old in such a state. People gave him free clothes, food, water, a mat to sleep on so the ground wasn’t so hard. He’d even get gifts of battery powered hand fans to keep him cool from the harsh tropical sun. When you’re a cute little child with big brown eyes begging for food, people trip over themselves to help. It’s when you start to get older that the sympathy passes. You have to start getting smart otherwise you won’t survive.Being smart though had its advantages. Thatcher picked up on languages fast as Bangkok had many tourists filtering in and out. He took advantage of the library to read up as much as he could on the languages that he would hear out on the streets. He was able to offer translation services for a small fee. It would get him snacks from the convenience stores, just enough food to keep away the crippling hunger. Enough sustenance for him to keep alive and survive out on the streets when he didn’t find the sympathy of a hawker stall grandmother to get scraps from at the end of the night.As he got older his translation services were no longer needed as those services were being outsourced to smartphones. Soon he finds that crippling hunger creeping up on him again as he can’t find enough money to even pay for snacks. Desperate for the first time in forever he tries to steal some bread from a convenience store.He thought he was stealthy enough, but clearly he wasn’t as he was almost immediately caught and threatened. Eyes wide and terrified he thought that this was the end, until a man came and paid for the bread. Relief washes over him as he’s let go and he thanks the man for saving him, for paying for his meal. The man just smiles and pats his head gently telling Thatcher to follow him, that he’ll give him food and a place to rest.This was the opportunity he and his parents had been wanting, the reason why he was sent to Bangkok in the first place, the hopes of being adopted by someone caring and kind, willing to take care of him and put him through school… but it wasn’t that. It was something dark and sinister. Thatcher learned that night that there are other ways to pay for things besides money. With his mind decreasing in value thanks to the ever advancing technology, his body was increasing in value thanks to sleazy old men who like young boys. At least being pretty had its perks, the more men that he was able to attract, the more he was able to get off the streets. Sleep in a bed for a night, even if it meant sharing it with a strange man.He got more money than he ever did with translating. He was able to buy proper meals, water, and his favorite, books. Thatcher spends his surplus in money on books to read during the day while he waits for the cover of night to participate in the world's oldest profession. It might sound ridiculous for a homeless child to carry a knapsack of books, but they provided an escape for thatcher. His life didn’t seem all too bad when he could run away to fictional places like Hogwarts, Middle earth, Narnia, or even real places like Missouri.That was until Fear found him. He looked a little bit older than him, he was handsome, well dressed, and his voice was deep and sweet, Thatcher hung off of every word he said. He promised to take Thatcher away, to get him away from poverty, from homelessness. All his dreams would come true.Fear promised him an education he’s always wanted, he could finally be something more, more than a street urchin whose parents sent him away. All he needed to do was trust Fear and let him whisk thatcher away to a better life. He was in love, in love with what Fear could give him and in love with the person that Fear presented themselves to be. Naive Thatcher took his hand and that’s the moment he’d regret for the rest of his life.He spent a week with Fear in a fancy hotel as he was told they needed to finish up with their business here in Thailand. Thatcher spent that week well fed, entertained, and he felt loved and taken care of. He couldn't wait to start a new life with the man he loved. That was until one day Fear came back to the hotel and told him that it was time to go. Excited Thatcher grabs his things and looks up at the man with all smiles as he takes the man’s hand. He’d pulled into a hug until something sharp hits his neck and the world starts to go black.Drugged and tied up Thatcher was thrown onto the shipyard docks. His head was spinning and his vision was blurry, but he was able to make out Fear standing there, counting money with a wicked grin on his lips. Brokenhearted and betrayed Thatcher starts to cry and scream at the man for all the lies they told, but it was no use. He was weak, captured and thrown onto the ship, taken below deck. He wasn’t the only one sold into slavery, there were plenty of other men and women below the ship as well, and Thailand was not the last stop before heading to their final destination.Life was a cruel joke, they barely got enough food and water to sustain themselves. Constantly receiving drugs to keep them sedated and unable to escape, Thatcher spent days, maybe even weeks, chained up. He was sore, disgusting, high as a kite, until one day they were all taken above deck and hosed off. Them being cleaned only meant one thing, that they were close to whatever they were being sold into. The life waiting for him would have him labeled a “street rat,” a human with no money, no skills, and too skinny and scrawny for hard work. He was registered with the slave trade in Korea and given the lowest price a slave could go for. Thatcher was nothing, no one, a lost boy waiting for the cycle of abuse to start again, nothing entirely new for the nineteen year old.Thatcher was shaky once off the ship. He doesn’t know how long he had been on it, weeks, months even, but what he does know is that whatever drugs they were putting into his body made the travel easier. Now that he was without those drugs withdrawal was kicking in and making living unbearable. Tremors, chills, aches, pains, vomiting, he needed a hit of something, anything to make this hell a little more tolerable. He needed something and he needed it now, it felt like he was dying in a place he doesn’t even know where. He doesn’t recognize the language, but it was easy for others to read his body language.He finds salvation, or perhaps eternal damnation, in the red light district. People offer him whatever he wants for a night with his pretty face. Drugs, cocaine to be specific, it’s what Thatcher was offered and it’s what he took. With his first hit he no longer felt like he was dying, all that pain was taken away, physical and mental, he was on cloud nine. This wasn’t much different from his life in Thailand. Except now he has to play catch up with the language. He used to be a quick study, but with the drug usage his brain starts to take in information slower. If he was sober, he could have learned Korean quickly, but with the drugs constantly in his system it takes him longer to become near fluent, at least with speaking, in a little over two years.Winters in Korea were harsh, freezing, snow filled, nothing like the winter months in Thailand. Thatcher has never experienced something so cold before and to not freeze to death on the streets, during the day he spends his free time in libraries and bookstores. It keeps him warm and the mental exercise of reading keeps his brain from fully melting.He’s able to lose himself again in fantasy worlds, one where he didn’t need to take drugs to keep himself alive. Where he didn’t need to sleep with men for clothes, money, and more drugs. Where he could live without constantly worrying who might purchase him and how good or bad they’d treat him.When you have money you can do anything you want. You can use, abuse, and torture or you can help, provide, and care for others. With Thatcher’s experience though, it seems like the latter is a fairy tale. It’s better if he doesn’t have a master ruling over him. For now, Thatcher is a free street rat.He’s not owned by a brothel, he’s smart enough to know that he’ll make more money and have more say in what and who he does if he remains out on his own. If he’s the property of a pimp or a brothel, he loses what little freedom he has. He gets to say who, when, and how much. It’s what little control he has left in his life.On the corner of the red light district the street rat stands and waits for someone to come and show interest in him. It’s always a bit of a thrill and adrenaline rush not knowing what he’s getting into. After accepting an offer and not knowing what he’s getting himself into is what Thatcher does best. It hasn’t killed him yet, just gotten him into more trouble. Besides, how worse can his life get at this point? He’s already been trafficked into another country, into slavery, into a life he never wanted for himself, hooked on drugs to survive, so what’s worse?

from urchin to rat originally from thailand, lied to and trafficked, thatcher is classified as a street rat in korea. barely making it through the winters, nearly freezing on the streets, he's lucky to still be alive today. lucky that he survived his first master, lucky that he was found by his husband before it was too late. lucky to have a current master who seems to care and provide him with all the literature he could ever want. he's a lucky rat.
February 2020 - December 2022 At the age of nineteen Thatcher was taken from his homeland of Thailand and sold to the Korean Slave Trade by the man he had loved and trusted. He doesn't know how long he was on the ship, his captures made sure to keep him drugged up and compliant. Upon reaching the shores of Korea he was tossed off the boat with nothing but the clothes on his back. Somehow he was supposed to make it through his first ever winter in less than appropriate clothing. Thatcher did the only thing he could to survive, sell himself. For money, drugs, clothes, a place to sleep, anything that would help him survive.
January 2023 - March 2023 Thatcher's picked up the Korean language quite quickly, speaking that is. Reading is a whole different game that he's far behind in. He's built up a bit of a reputation for himself on the corners of the Red Light District. He's barely surviving which he supposes is still surviving in the end. That is until he meets Lushan. A Nulhound that seems to take interest in him. Before he knows it he's falling for the Nulhound and now he's their slave. It isn't till March that he finds out the real reason they're together. How he was chosen by Lushan just because he's a Street Rat someone he could accidentally kill and no one would miss.
April 2023 - August 2023 It was never love, it was finding someone that wasn't entirely fragile. Finding someone who would take all the bites, the cuts, the claw marks, the scars. Someone who would bend right up to the point of almost breaking. It was finding someone that if the Nulhound were to lose control and kill, no one would go looking for them, no one would care, no one would miss. This sent Thatcher into a spiral. Depressed and wanting to die the human becomes more reckless with suicidal thoughts. He ends up taking a dangerous job for Quinn Rothchilde, infiltrating a child trafficking ring from the inside so they could take everyone in it down.
August 2023 - October 2023 Having been saved by Ambrose Rothchilde from a private auction Thatcher is without a job again and back on the streets. He was barred from any other dangerous mission by the Rothchildes which caused more upset. But Thatcher doesn't want to die anymore, he wants to live, and so he tries to. Until he's attacked in an alley and fighting for his life, someone comes and saves him. Offers him food, a home, and love. Real love this time. Real love for the first time in his life. Thatcher is willing to change his entire life for this man who saved him. He quits his job as a prostitute and starts working at a club as a stripper. Every night he goes home.
November 2023 - December 2023 Thatcher is so happy with his life for the first time ever, it was going so well. Of course that all had to change when he runs into his old drug dealer. As she was a wrath and entirely pissed off she had lost his business, she made him buy a packet from him and made him take it all in front of her. Whatever it was, it was not his usual cocaine. Thatcher struggled as he tried to go home and ultimately never made it as he collapsed into seizures. Luckily there was an EMT nearby and he was rushed to the hospital and saved. Joonwoo comes to see him without any judgement and holding each other Thatcher promises to get fully sober.
January 2024 - July 2024 A few week sober, Thatcher and Joonwoo spent Christmas together and during opening presents, Joonwoo proposes to Thatcher. Still undergoing withdrawal Thatcher's hand is shaking as the ring is put on, but he's so happy and in love, of course he says yes. The two spend half the year planning for their wedding asking their friends and family to come and attend. Thatcher asks his Master Ambrose to walk him down the isle. He's asking them to move past the line of Master and slave and into something more familiar, something more along the lines of family. Anxiously waiting the other's answer, they agree and Thatcher couldn't be any happier.
August 2024 - October 2024 Thatcher and Joonwoo get married one year from the first day they met, August 12th. It was a beautiful wedding on the beach, Ambrose Rothchilde walking Thatcher down the isle, Joonwoo standing with Quinn Rothchilde as his best man. It was a small wedding with friends and family, intimate and lovely as everyone sat together at a big table. The food was plenty and the cake was a delicious tropical theme. It was the best day of Thatcher's life. After the wedding it took a few days to get Thatcher's passport and bank account settled and then the two of them went to Disney World in Florida as well as a foodie tour in Singapore.
November 2024 - January 2025 Coming back from their honeymoon together it was lovely to be home with their beloved babies again (Leon, Louis, and Levi). They start to go back to their usual routine of going to work and coming home to cuddle and love each other. When Christmas rolls around it marks one year since their engagement. Thatcher is looking forward to celebrating more anniversaries and holidays together as a married couple, mates, husbands. Everything is absolutely perfect in both of their lives right now, but as we learn from the past, every time something is going perfect, there is usually something waiting in the shadows to change that.
February 2025 - March 2025 With Thatcher being kidnapped by the man who originally picked him out of the pedophile ring for revenge, Ambrose and Joonwoo did their best to try and find him, but with a Witch helping the man, it was difficult. Thatcher has no idea how long he has been in captivity, especially when there's no clock, no windows, just a door that lets the man come through with a needle filled with drugs. Maybe it's been days or weeks, but he's given the option to end his life to save Joonwoo and he takes the drugs. That's when the make the mistake of moving him, where Ambrose finds him and Joonwoo protects his barely living body. He's on the brink of death and Ambrose has only one choice to save Thatcher, magic.

plotting ideas here is a list of plots that are open to be discussed before they are taken. if you're interested in any of these plots please do not hesitate to send a dm with the plot that catches your eye. dms for plots not listed below are very welcome too. past requires a lot of plotting together to make sure timelines aline.
sober
Clean Thatcher has been sober for about a year now. At first it was just no drugs, but he's decided to give up alcohol as well as it could just lead to a slippery slope of falling back into drug use. It's a bit difficult considering he's always surrounded by it working in a club, but he's holding strong. Currently he's the only one he knows that is living a sober life, so if he happened to find someone else who was living sober and having fun, he'd love to join them and be a support system for each other when temptation tries knocking at their door.
friend
Alone Thatcher wouldn't say that's he's fully alone. He has his husband, his Master and family, as well as his cats... but when it comes to friends? Thatcher is rather lonely in that bit. If you asked him to name a friend he would actually have quite a hard time naming someone that he doesn't already consider family. Now that he's back from his honeymoon and starting up his usual routine of working sometimes at the same hours of his husband sometimes different, maybe it's time that he picks up a few hobbies of his own and maybe some friendships too.
past
Trafficking Thatcher was not the only one on the human trafficking ship that made it's way to Korea and dumped all the the slaves at port. Having been drugged up out of his mind he doesn't exactly remember those who were chained up with him, next to him even. He knows he's not the only on here in Korea with this experience, but he's never run into someone who was on the same ship he was. That was until now. Seeing their face pulls out a deeply repressed memory up to the front. They were together. They suffered together. His past is coming all back to him now as he finds someone with the same trauma as him.

partners these are the important people that are or were in theo's life. it will be updated as more plots and connections are made within the roleplay.
JOONWOO LEE Mate & Husband
.
.
Joonwoo is the man that saved Thatcher's life. Not only did he save him from a man looking to do rather sinister things, but he also helped Thatcher find the will to live again. Joonwoo is the love of his life, and he has been marked as such with a making mark on his shoulder. Engaged in December and married in August, Thatcher feels so lucky being able to wake up next to his husband every morning.
AMBEROSE ROTHCHILDE Master & Family
.
.
Ambrose is Thatcher's second Master and someone that he considers family. He's the one who saved him from being sold in a human trafficking ring and also the man who walked him down the isle on his wedding day. Thatcher is thankful for the eldest Rothchilde brother taking care of him while being his slave. He gives Thatcher freedom to do whatever he pleases and supports him in his desire to read every book in the other's personal library.
ATHANASIUS REINHARDT Fellow Slave & Friend
.
.
Athan and Thatcher have both been Ambrose's slaves for a long while now, but they two of them had never really interacted until recently. Thatcher finds the other rather amusing and he can see parallels in Athan and himself, as well as Athan's relationship with Ambrose and his relationship with Joonwoo. TL;DR they're all rather kinky and unafraid to show the outcomes of a night together with their beloveds.
LUKE DIAMANDIS Boss
.
.
Thatcher doesn't really know much about Luke other than he took over as the owner of Sensual Delight. The man is now the third owner that Thatcher has worked under in the same establishment. He doesn't mind the transition of owners too much, just so long as he's still able to dance, make money, and stay sober.
