Isaac Perch

‎

Isaac Perch is a character in Beacon Hills. Being a charismatic loner isn't all that bad until you actually do want to be alone, but everybody wants to hang out.

Biography
When Isaac was born, his parents were just starting out both of their careers, which meant that, even though they loved him more than anything else in the world, they weren't exactly the best parents. Wanting to have the opportunity to make their child happy meant that they needed to work after hours and make sure that they stood out from their colleagues, which they did achieve.

Isaac didn't mind this. Sure, having his parents be around more would've been nice, but he always had his grandma who moved in with his parents after they asked her for help. Isaac's fondest memories are of playing and talking with his grandma as well as playing and talking with his imaginary friend, Marie.

His parents, at the moments when they were home, thought it was cute that Isaac had an imaginary friend, but when he still had an imaginary friend at 13 years of age, his parents started to get concerned. His grandma tried to persuade them that it was normal, but they didn't want their child to be a freak, as they knew the family had some cases of schizophrenia. Fast forward a couple of months, and Isaac's parents, both being psychiatrists, decided it was best for him to be put on medication which would stop these illusions, even though Isaac wasn't actually having illusions and hallucinations. Like his grandma, Isaac was psychic, but the medication he had been drinking since he was 13 halted most of his psychic abilities. The ghosts around him, including his best friend, his imaginary friend, all disappeared, and Isaac soon forgot them as something real, but still remembered them as a vague memory he couldn't quite grasp.

Personality
Isaac’s personality fits right onto the introversion side of the scale. He likes anything an introvert might enjoy doing, like reading, listening to music or just casually being alone, and he simply doesn’t thrive in large crowds of people he doesn't know, usually being very shy and inside of his own shell when he is in such a crowd. Isaac prefers to just keep out of other people's business, and unless a question is specifically directed at him, he won’t join a conversation with a stranger because he doesn’t want to bother people. Isaac’s imagination is very wild, especially his dreams, seeing he is directly connected to the spirit realm. Having the ability to see spirits/ghosts is the main reason why he isn’t a party person, as loud places like parties are where a large number of spirits/ghosts usually dwell.

Appearance
Standing at 5'10 with only 135 lbs, it's not weird that Isaac is slim. His charcoal hair is almost always very messy, and usually falls on his face. His eyes are dark brown, but are golden in the sun. Isaac can be seen wearing a white shirt and black jeans, but he doesn't experiment with playful colors because he doesn't like to draw attention to himself that way.

Relationships
Even though Isaac doesn't have many friends because he isn't exactly popular, the ones he does have, he cherishes and loves, and would do anything in his power to help them do basically anything. Isaac puts his friends in front of himself, as he deems them and their happiness more important than his own.

Best Friends

 * Tyler Shaw – Tyler has been Isaac's absolute best friend ever since the two met in track and field, about two years ago when Isaac had just started high school. From their first conversation, it was obvious that they had some things in common, one of them being that they both absolutely adored sushi, but also something more important than that—they had similar principles and that was the core reason why their relationship works as well as it does. Flirting with each other for fun had been something present throughout their friendship, and had remained there even after Tyler started acting weird about five months ago.

Friends

 * Kennith Bell – Kennith and Isaac aren't as close as Tyler and Isaac, however, they are friends, and have been friends ever since they met in a creative writing class a year ago. The two, both being outdoors freaks, like to spend their time together surrounded by nature.
 * Leviathan Black – Hanging out with Kennith, Leviathan would usually join the two, which obviously created a bond between Leviathan and Isaac. Isaac frequently tutors Leviathan with any school work that he needs to work on because he genuinely wants to see his friend succeed.
 * Lila Hart – Lila and Isaac have been friends for almost a year. Bonding mostly over journalism and working together on the school newspaper, these two aren't the closest friends in the world, and they do casually get into a fight about some editorial decision concerning the school newspaper, but they always make up in a short period of time.
 * Spencer Sellers – Spencer and Isaac had been in each others life for a long period of time, seeing Spencer had visited Isaac's mom (a therapist) when the two were younger, and they occasionally spent time together in the waiting room. Of course, they weren't that close back then, but had really connected in the first lacrosse off season of Isaac's freshman year, when all the lacrosse players had to join the track and field team.
 * Anya Taylor – A weird friendship is one Isaac has with Anya, who he had met a year and half ago when she first walked through the doors of the classroom where a meeting of the photography club was taking place. The two both being loners of sorts bonded pretty well together, and know that they can depend on each other no matter what.
 * Johannes Thorpe – Johannes and Isaac's friendship is one that could use some work but isn't at all bad for a friendship. The two had been neighbors for most of their lives, but had only started hanging out about half a year ago, with their friendship still developing. Even though Johannes is rich and does flaunt his money around, he had been nothing but respectful towards Isaac, which is something Isaac highly appreciates.
 * Jordan Westbrook – Instead of having a more friendly relationship, Jordan and Isaac can be compared more to an older and younger brother, Isaac, of course, being the younger one. Since neither have siblings, this bond is good for both of them, and the two genuinely do care about each other, even though they would never actually admit this.

Enemies

 * Cyrus Jackson – After straight-up telling Cyrus that he doesn't like his attitude and that he should work on changing it, Isaac had been the victim of Cyrus's occasional teasing and his pranks which actually do bother Isaac even though he claims he isn't bothered by them. It is definitely safe to say that the two don't like each other.

The Cargást Manor
The Cargást Manor is a large house located on the outskirts of the town Beacon Hills.

This building had been a house of many psychics, witches and druids over the long period of time, and currently houses the Perch family, including two psychics (Isaac Perch and Barbara Jones).

The building itself was built in the exact position because of the energy the spot had provided for the psychics, witches and druids. It allowed them to work on their abilities without the disturbance of evil forces. The spot had also been more connected to the spirit realm, and over the course of many years and a large number of psychics living inside the manor, the connection only strengthened. The outside of the Cargást Manor looks very run down, but most people think it adds to the atmosphere of the home. With the surrounding flora growing into and from the stone which builds the walls of the house, the house looks almost abandoned, but when the overgrown plants are removed each spring, the house's connection to the surrounding flora looks beautiful, and almost planned.

The manor's exterior had improved over the years, and had been influenced by many different architectural eras, featuring arches, different building material and even small stained glass windows decorating some exterior walls of the big house.

An area around the manor belongs to the Perch family, but not a lot of it, seeing owners of the past sold most of the land to interested rich businessmen, which makes sense seeing the houses surrounding Cargást Manor scream of richness.

The inside of the Cargást Manor, unlike the outside, looks very proficient and is often compared to one of a small castle or a historical museum. Almost all the floors are either marble or finely polished wood with or without a carper on top of it. The manor has many rooms (some small some big) spread out across 3 stories, not counting the attic space and the basement.

A room deserving of being mentioned would be the large living room which looks almost like a museum because it's filled with many old items carefully put up on the walls or in glass displays (shelves) and features a small personal library.
