Yes, that is families, as in plural. During the height of the Roman Empire, there were 6 families specializing in Chaldean Astrology in the city of Rome, each one worshipping a different god. To go over each of their names and histories would be a waste of time for all involved, so for now we can simply say that each family was named after a different planet that had been discovered thus far. Originally they had all been one family, the Barsillius family, however the family had made the decision that it would be most efficient to split into different families to support the Roman Empire in their own ways. The times change, empires fall, the Roman Empire fell particularly hard, yet the Barsillius families did not choose to simply roll over and die with their empire. Instead they would split up and travel to different countries to implant themselves in their governments, seeking to maintain control from the shadows. Kind of like the illuminati. They all retained a sense of camaraderie through it all, they would stick by each other through thick and thin no matter what happened. Time passes, a new heliocentric model of the universe radically changed astrology for all families, plus their various crests are becoming volatile, it's difficult to keep them stable due to their age. A breakthrough in modern science occurs, a new planet is discovered on the edge of the solar system! The families take this opportunity and run with it, each family "donating" a few of their less valuable members and parts of their crests to make a new crest and a new family, the Caelum Barsillius family. It takes time for the family to get on their feet, but soon enough they are thriving, inserting themselves into the Clocktower in the Astrology department and giving the Barsillius a foothold within Britain. A little more time passes, another new planet is discovered! Ok wow, that was really fast mankind, can you slow it down some? The family already had a little scare with Ceres before absorbing them back into the other families, was Neptune going to stick around? The Barsillius are a little uncomfortable about splitting up their Crest again so soon, but having another family is hardly the worst thing right? Worst comes to worst, they can just reabsorb the family if astrology changes again. And so the Lymphae Barsillius family is born, they're sent to the developing country of America to keep tabs on them for the time being, see if they amount to anything in the world. Ok wow, really mankind? It's hasn't even been a hundred years and you're discovering another new planet? The Barsillius families reconvene, everyone is pretty stressed out to be honest. Making another new family based on a new planet is a hard gamble considering how Ceres went, there's no guarantee that Pluto is gonna work out. But at the same time, it got named after one of the big three gods! They grumbled and griped about it, but in the end it was inevitable that they would make just one last family, for real this time, no take backsies. The Othonos Barsillius are created and sent to Russia to keep an eye on the emerging power from behind the scenes.[/hider] [hider=Seeker of the Abyssal Sky]The year is 1979, the Cold War is just wrapping up, the world breathes a sigh of relief. The second heir of the Othonos Barsillius family is born, she is named Plutonis, both in honor of the God they worshipped and as a cold reminder of the nuclear winter narrowly escaped. However the environment she is raised in remains tense, there's no guarantee that their little family will continue given the ever changing landscape of the astrological field. The Mystery of the Stars is fading, mankind's attention turns to what lies outside of our limited solar system. Plutonis too looks to the stars, wondering what lies beyond her namesake. The universe is so much more vast than she could have possibly imagined. The year is 2004, the Holy Grail has been rediscovered. The Barsillius family convenes to discuss the implications of this Holy Grail War, if perhaps they should send a representative to claim the Holy Grail for themselves, or at least ensure that it doesn't fall into the wrong hands. Plutonis looks down to her right hand and sighs, tracing her thumb over the sign of Pluto that has engraced itself into her flesh. They will not be able to come to a conclusion, thus it will be up to her to carry her family to greatness. It will all be up to her.[/hider] [hider=Abyssal Mind]It would not be inaccurate to call Plutonis, "stilted" in a manner, having very little interaction with people outside of her own family and Russian government officials. Many would take a look at her and call her cold, which isn't totally inaccurate in regards to how she views others. The amount of value she places on the human life is rather miniscule, but this doesn't mean she is a stone cold killer who would do anything to reach her goals. It's more along the lines of, she doesn't understand how to talk to people in a casual manner, thus she doesn't understand the importance of a human life outside of how they could be useful to her family. Her hobbies include studying the stars, reading books on Plutonic theory, and collecting unique soda bottles.[/hider] [hr] [b]Magecraft[/b] Quality of Circuits: C Quantity of Circuits: A Elemental Affinity: Water Attribute: Conversion Magecraft: Necromancy: Something only recently picked up during this generation, Plutonis has learned the basics of Necromancy to use body parts for various minor rituals and making familiars like zombies. Plutonic Astrology: An incredibly young magecraft based around the planet Pluto, this spiritual evocation and astrology hybrid focuses on using the celestial body as a "gate to the Underworld" and then passing wraiths through it to establish them as subjects under Plutonis's rule. Using the family attribute of "Conversion", these spirits are then converted into jewels to be used as power sources/materials for spells and rituals, subbing in different kinds of gems for different planets. This is rather weak on it's own, however Plutonis has looked beyond the newly discovered planet to the stars, using Pluto's position as the ruler of Scorpio to tap into the Mystery of... Scorpius EpĂ­klisi: Scorpio, the Astral Scorpion. Known as one of the many causes of death of Orion, Scorpio has great power when invoked by Plutonis, who has designated herself as Pluto in his absence. Plutonis uses Scorpio's tail as a lance to strike at the outermost reaches of space, drawing on the Mystery of the Abyss Beyond Human Comprehension to empower the spirits of Hades. Additionally, when combined with her Plutonic Astrology, she can further draw on Scorpio's powers by performing rituals powered by wraith infused gems, arranging each gem in different ways to simulate different astrological alignments. Mystic Codes: Charon: Invoking the legend of Charon, the ferryman of the river Styx, Plutonis created this Mystic Code to protect herself from whatever dangers may come. Taking the form of an onyx black platform floating through the air, so long as Plutonis stands on this platform she is caught between the boundaries of life and death, a conceptual Styx forms around the platform to draw in the souls of the damned towards this river of death. The black "water" of the Styx inevitably draws in wraiths as they seek to cross the river, which Plutonis then commands for whatever purposes she needs, usually stuffing them into gems for spells. Upsilon Scorpii: The tip of Scorpio's tail, the deadly stinger which struck dead even mighty Orion. Plutonis commissioned a bident made of only the finest obsidian, however it's purpose is not as a weapon but rather it is instead used as a rod, signifying her authority as "Pluto." She can invoke her status as "Pluto" to call upon Scorpio, pointing her bident at a target and firing lasers at them from the sky above. Starless Night: A simple cloak of invisibility, drawing upon the Mystery of the starless abyss beyond our Solar System, that which is unobserved. Hides Plutonis from conventional senses such as sight and sound, however her Magical Presence can still be felt in the area. Underworld Treasury: As the ruler of Hades, Plutonis is of course entitled to all the gems that lay under the earth. While this is not strictly a Magecraft related ability, the Othonos family has been naturally predisposed to gathering massive amounts of wealth in only the short span of 70 years, a perfect fit for their family. Plutonis has brought a massive hoard of gems with her to the Grail War, each one suitable for various types of astrological rituals and holding wraiths for quick spells and deployment. Non-Magecraft Abilities/Items: None.[/hider][/center]
