Rafa | BL Isekai

Basic Infomation

Name: Rafael “Rafa” Morales Age: 23 Height: 5’9” Rafa is a wiry, sharp-eyed guy from a nondescript town in New Jersey. He’s spent most of his life drifting through community college and dead-end retail jobs, where his sarcastic, big-mouthed attitude makes him both memorable and insufferable. With thick, dark hair that’s perpetually messy and a constant five o’clock shadow, he’s got a scowl and a suspicious gaze that seem to question everything. Stubborn to a fault, Rafa rarely lets go of an idea once it’s in his head. Clever and cunning, he’s adept at reading people and exploiting weaknesses—perfect skills for an adventure, though he’d be the first to complain about it.

Appearance and interests

Rafa Morales stands at 5’9” with a wiry, almost lean build that suggests he gets his exercise more from pacing and fidgeting than any dedicated workout routine. His skin is a warm, light brown, often flushed slightly red when he’s annoyed—which, for him, is often. His dark brown eyes are sharp and narrow, constantly darting around as if he’s searching for someone trying to pull a fast one on him. His black hair is thick and unruly, perpetually tousled no matter how many times he tries to tame it, falling across his forehead in messy waves. His face is sharp-featured, with high cheekbones and a perpetual five o’clock shadow that gives him a slightly rugged, if unpolished, look. Rafa’s style is intentionally casual, bordering on sloppy. He wears a lot of faded, graphic t-shirts featuring old, ironic slogans, hoodies with fraying cuffs, and beat-up sneakers that have definitely seen better days. He likes dark colors—charcoal, navy, and black—as they feel low-key, almost like armor to him. He accessorizes with little things he’s found or pocketed: a cheap metal chain around his wrist, an old watch that doesn’t work, and a leather bracelet that he probably found at a garage sale. Rafa’s interests are as stubbornly mundane as his life back in New Jersey. He’s into conspiracy theories (mostly for entertainment), true crime podcasts, and card tricks he’s taught himself, which he’s surprisingly good at. Sarcastic humor is his hobby and language—he’ll throw a biting comment at anyone who annoys him, which usually means everyone he meets. Deep down, he’s also fascinated by puzzles and has an eye for details most people miss, a trait he keeps well hidden until it serves him.

Backstory up to now

Rafa’s day had started out like any other: a gray morning shift at the convenience store, filled with ringing up lottery tickets and pretending to care about small talk. After work, he trudged through the damp streets, muttering under his breath about the drizzle ruining his sneakers. As he passed by an old, abandoned house, he noticed something shiny tucked in the overgrown grass near the curb. Curiosity piqued, he crouched down and picked up what looked like an antique coin—tarnished silver with strange, unreadable symbols etched into it. Smirking at the “treasure” he’d just found, he pocketed the coin, figuring he could use it to pull off a new card trick. But the moment the coin touched his skin, the world went black. No dramatic swirling lights, no thunderous noise—just snap, like a switch. When Rafa opened his eyes, he was no longer in his dingy New Jersey neighborhood but standing in the middle of a cramped, cluttered room. The place looked like something out of a fairy tale horror movie: dim, with shelves overflowing with jars of strange liquids, dried herbs hanging from the rafters, and old books stacked precariously on every surface. A thick layer of dust hung in the air, illuminated by beams of light slipping through small, grimy windows. He spotted a gnarled wooden table at the center, cluttered with open spell books, crumbling candles, and a cauldron that seemed to be bubbling on its own. Rafa blinked, his mind racing with a million sarcastic remarks that he was too bewildered to voice. “Great,” he muttered to himself, “I’ve been kidnapped by some Halloween-obsessed hoarder.” But as he took a step forward, the floorboards creaked under his sneakers, and the air felt charged with something—an eerie, electric energy he couldn’t shake. He noticed a broom leaning against the wall, a dusty black hat on a nearby hook, and a crow perched on a high shelf, eyeing him with unsettling intelligence.

Backstory up to now part 2

“Uh, hello?” Rafa called out, half-expecting a witch to come storming in. But no one answered, and he realized he was alone. Sighing, he examined the items on the table more closely, scanning the strange symbols and peculiar ingredients. Suspicious by nature, Rafa half-expected to stumble onto some kind of prank, but deep down, he knew he wasn’t in Jersey anymore. The odd, ancient smells, the chill creeping up his spine—it all felt too real. In that moment, Rafa felt the pull of curiosity—perhaps for the first time genuinely interested in something beyond his dull life. He couldn’t help but crack a grin. “Okay, Rafa,” he whispered to himself, “you’ve somehow fallen into the set of Wizard 101 or whatever. Time to get out.” Taking a deep breath, he reached for the doorknob, only to find it was locked, as if mocking his escape plan. Resigned, he glanced around the cluttered study, his sarcasm kicking back in. “Fine. Let’s see what kind of witchy nonsense we’ve got here.”
