Powers: Occultist Apothecary



Lily is a potion making genius. She carries on her an assortment of vials for various purposes. They can boost one's strength, speed, durablity. Enhance powers or disable them. Kill someone instantly. Most of the potions she makes, the more common ones, are for medicinal purposes. They can cure a vast amount of ailments. Powder can be applied to wounds to patch them up and liquids imbibes to seal them. The potions seem to have an intelligence of their own, like drinking them is inviting a personality into one's heart. All of these are the "Real Cures". They are the true medicine of this world, with everything else being a false imitation. According to Lily, anyway. These potions tap into the power of the mind and soul.

She is also a master of the occult. Lost languages, strange rituals. She is capable of altering life and bending creatures to her will. Objects can be granted powers, becoming trinkets and talismans. All of this with preparation, experiments, and testing before hand, of course. Either way, Lily seems to have a 'truer' understanding of the world than most people do. Clearly, this knowledge has cost her some of her mind.

Besides drawing on the latent powers within our own reality, Lily has two main abilities.

Heal Ailment: She can heal people of injuries with her potions.

Twist Creature: A ritual to bend the will of living things to her will. She mostly does this with doves. Now they look like they are made of clay, with oily black eyes. They follow her commands and observe the school, reporting back to her when there are incidents she is needed for.

She can do much more than this, but these are the two things she will do the most. However potions can be brewed for various purposes should the need arise, and rituals can be prepared in interesting circumstances. All she needs is the knowledge and the ingredients.

Description: Lily is a very beautiful blonde woman, standing at about 5 feet, 4 inches tall. Her hair is always tied up into a bun. She has glassy hazel eyes. Her frame is fit, but not muscular. She wears simple clothes, usually t-shirts of various grey colors. The most exceptional thing about her is her large, heavy leather satchel. It's full of various potions and items.

Personality: The first thing someone notices about Lily is the strange way she talks. Very often she says things in roundabout, obtuse ways that seem like nonsense that has to be deciphered. She even speaks words in a language no one knows but her. She's not incapable of speaking normally and succinctly. But about half the time it's like her words are being filtered through something. She doesn't seem to be aware her words often don't make sense to other people. She prefers it when people talk straight with her.

Lily is also distant, forgetful, and unobservant. Most of the time she is lethargic and detached. She's also habitually tired. Her sleep schedule is non-existant, so she is very sleepy a lot of the time. Occasionally she will just drift off into a nap. Sometimes she forgets where she is, why she is there, or even who she is in the first place. It can all just melt away. And all that's left is the True Reality of her works.

Lily likes helping the people at Lanius. Especially the students. She lives at Lanius and feels safe there. Lily is hardly a teacher and will usually just let the students do whatever they want. The only exception being violence, which she will try to stop. If someone is interested in learning from her about her occultist ways, they will quickly become aware that reading the texts in her library are what caused her to be the way she is.

Much like she has bouts of complete apathy, she will occasionally become hyper-lucid. Then, she is quick, volatile, energetic and optimistic. Though she can also be irritable. She even becomes something of a flirt, trying to catch the attention of the other teachers. This is quite rare though and usually only happens when she gets enough sleep.

Nonetheless, the thing Lily cares the most about is her work. As long as no one destroys her room and her projects, she can be friendly and co-operative. She even has a strange wisdom about her. She is an agent of Real Truth, and can be aware of lies, facades, and omissions.

Crush: Most of the teachers here are handsome and beautiful.

Skills:

She has exceptionally clear handwriting, beautiful calligraphy, and unbelievably stable hands. Other than that, it's only her studies into the occult. She can read the ancient texts and languages there that no one else can, unless they commit to the same path she has followed.

Weaknesses:

Just catch her unawares and destroy her potions. Without them she doesn't have much going on. She also doesn't like drinking her own potions, preferring instead to give them to others.


Brief History: There isn't too much to say. Lily was a normal girl with normal parents and a sister. She was lively, a bit introverted, and loved spooky stories. Then one day, she found the Oldest Book. It was an exponential ascendance. She became obsessed, did some untoward experiments on her school mates and...here she is. She is something of a shut in and rarely if ever leaves Lanius grounds. She asks people to bring her ingredients from the outside world. In return, she is a perfect nurse, able to heal the grevious wounds that may be afflicted on the students here.

Other: Her personal quarters and the nurses office are only separated by one door, and are pretty much one and the same. It is a strange place full of trinkets and notes that look scattered and incomprehensible. Still, it feels...safe. It is a magically protected place.

Resonant Stone:

The main conduit of Lily's powers. Wear them as an object for her powers to work. She usually makes them into a necklace, but they can be anything, even just held in the palm of the hand. They must be specially made through arcane processes that take a while. They usually take the form of river-polished stones with runes carved into them. But they can be trinkets, talismans, or drawings.

The Resonant Stone's do not need to be equipped on someone for healing potions to work. But they do help. Especially with the more severe wounds. More severe wounds such as detached limbs will need special attention from various items Lily has at her disposal. It's by no means an instant process but given enough time she can help people survive grievous wounds.

Lily's "magic" only works in two circumstances- either she is there, or a Resonant Stone is there. If neither are present, the paranormal affects of whatever she is doing will be severely dampered. If both are there, the magic will work slightly better and be harder to disturb.

Lily's power comes from belief, and dreams. The idea that believing something to be so makes it so. She is one of the few people in the world to have ever truly grasped this concept. This belief can Resonate through objects, which is what the Resonant Stones are. If there are none, then only the residual power of the objects themselves remain, which isn't much.

Main Powers:

Healing: Lily can heal extremely grievous wounds with various bizarre medical techniques. Most of them involve potions and Resonant Stones.

Pigeons: Lily has various pet 'clay' pigeons around the school that report back to her whenever an incident occurs.

Fourth Room: There are three primary rooms in Lily's office. The third one, always available to the public, looks like an ordinary nurse's office. It even has things like a first aid kit and an eye-washing station.

The second room is where most of her treatment happens. It had stranger supplies. The walls and floor are made of wood, the light on the wall is an ethereal flame that is comfortably warm to the touch. There are cabinents and book shelves and chests. A large wooden table with optional straps for doing more advanced procedures. The second room is heavily enchanted. People have a hard time fighting in here- resonant stones are in every corner and there are runes hidden on the reverse side of the floorboards. It's a non-violence zone.

The third room is Lily's bedroom. Students are rarely allowed back here, but Lily doesn't seem to be particularly secretive about it. There's a comfortable bed, a chalkboard with writing that spills onto the wooden walls around. A book shelf lined with old tomes. The ceiling in particular seems to be some kind of star map of an area of space that doesn't exist.

The Fourth room, no one is allowed into. For their own safety. It's a space between spaces, a land where dreams and nightmares become reality and the shadows of the world become reality. It's also home to the Oldest Library, the place where Lily first found the Oldest Book when she was a little girl. In it she is capable of viewing extra-planar dimensions and entities. The most dangerous experiments are done here. It seems to stretch on forever, but the extension of Lily's power is clearly marked. There is a boundary where the Fourth Room ends and the rest of the strange world it resides in begins. Travelling outside without proper protection is extremely dangerous. Slowly over time Lily extends her influence but, since she has a sizeable amount of territory staked, she has ceased for now.
