Pieces of 8 --- -Name: Jay-Jay -Gender: Female. -Type: A human demonhost-turned-mage. -[url=http://fashion.ekstrax.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Red-hair-3.jpg]Appearance[/url]: Jay-Jay is an attractive caucasian woman with long red hair and bright hazel eyes. She stands at just over six foot in height and weighs in at a little under one-hundred and fifty pounds. Jay-Jay is decidedly average, when compared to the more fantastic members of the Bane and Hoyle group. She is not particularly toned or fit, with nothing more than a jogger’s physique but she maintains at least a consciousness of her appearance. She dresses in every day clothing and doesn’t really belong to any prominent sub-culture that might decide her attire. Her once prominent tan has lost some of its lustre due to a year of nearly constantly studying with Oro-Mai, leaving her skin a delightful olive colour. -Age: 22 -Powers/Traits: Since her last adventure with the Bain and Hoyle Company, Jay-Jay has undergone a great deal of training under the watchful eye of the Munin, Oro-Mai. The focus of her training has been on training her as a mage and under the tutelage of the ancient bird she has excelled. Her already prominent Pyromancy skills have been risen from the skills of a journeyman to the talents of a master; the powers once exclusive to the demon are now shared by Jay-Jay. Atop her pyromantic talents, Jay-Jay has started to learn a number of new magical schools: She can access bound items, summon a small familiar and has learned to communicate via telepathic link. Jay-Jay has lost some of her stranger tendencies under the Munnin’s tutelage, and has instead begun to depend upon her magic more and more. Despite this though, it is impossible to discount the reason Jay-Jay originally joined the Bain and Hoyle company, and the powers that reason has. The demon inside Jay-Jay, who eventually started to refer to itself as ‘Kata’ (a shortening of katago̱gí̱) is still an unpredictable force whose powers have grown in direct correlation with her host. Should Jay-Jay transform, Kata can access and amplify Jay-Jay’s magics multiple times over. Outside of her magical training, Jay-Jay pursues a number of hobbies: She takes an almost oxymoronic delight in cooking, considering her pyromania; she enjoys listening to music and has a very American love of coffee. -Background: The quirky demon host has changed a lot in the time since her involvement in the Max debacle. Unlike most of the group Jay-Jay developed positively as a result the ordeal surrounding the first-born, and thanks to Kata’s manoeuvrings managed to acquire a magical teacher in the form of Oro-Mai. It cost the demon a few more secrets than she would like to have given, but Ori-Mai’s tendencies to horde knowledge have allowed the secret to remain exclusive amongst three individuals. Prior to the events involving the first-born vampire, Jay-Jay was hired into the company more for her own sake than her natural talents. She was daughter to a former employee and a magus of considerable talents who went by the name Maven and after a failed attempt to pluck knowledge from her mother’s archives, Jay-Jay was subjected to a near life-ending mental assault by a number of demons who wished for a host. Among the black torrent of competing demons, a single flicker of white light shone through: a strange demon that asked not for subjugation, but for cohabitation. That demon was Katago̱gí̱. Kata was and remains an anomaly among demon kind. She didn’t seem to be malevolent in any way and even went so far as to actively protect her host. It seeks something from Jay-Jay that, to this day, is unknown to all except host and demon. The demon has however, let a few things slip: namely that she is some form of Ifrit and that she is at least heavily associates herself with ancient Greece.
