This is a form of Spirit Magic-User can use spirit magic, that revolves around channeling, summoning, or using the power of spirits to achieve their goals. They can summon spirits, use spiritual weapons, or channel a spirit into their body to gain physical enhancements or gain completely new abilities. [hr] [*][u]Vessel[/u] (an ancient, rare form of spirit magic that is hereditary within Albinos) An Albino has the ability to share their consciousness and form with one or many espri, allowing them to communicate and participate with others in the living world. The only difference between a Vessel and a Medium is that a Vessel can hold espris within them indefinitely - if they are strong of mind and heart. Lithy tends to use this ability in unique ways, place esprit within herself, or place herself within a lifeless form for communication, esprit travel, readings, protection, and healing. She can go so far as to possess other living beings with no harm to them, and even release their esprit to travel or communicate from a decent distance - as long as she's able to maintain an unbroken contact with them mentally and physically. In Lithy's case, this is not a form of Necromancy, because she's not controlling the dead. She's only participating/managing/controlling/assisting the spirits of the dead. These souls are not a part of her. They are just resting within her until needed. There are disadvantages to this skill, due to its unique layout and the severity of harm towards the user, but it's quite effective for one who's mastered it. Lithy's level for this skill is intermediate. [hr] [*][u]Nystagmus[/u] With the involuntary rapid eye movement that some Albinos have, she can read both a person's energy waves, shadow, and color auras - the unseen inner light and shade of their esprit, spirit/soul, that radiates around them. This ability also allows Lithy to visualize what others have seen or been. From here, she can glean information, locations of places or objects, and even sense emotions and other notions of the mind. [hr] [*][u]Illusion Manipulation[/u] User can create, shape and manipulate illusions, causing targets to see, hear, touch, smell and/or taste things which do not actually exist or cause them to perceive things differently from what they truly are. Some users can create complex and detailed worlds, others may be able to only alter the way they or the target are perceived. [hr] [*][u]Cartomancy[/u] (Tarot/Oracle) Users can employ cartomancy, the use of a normal deck of cards or tarot cards to gain insight into the past, current, and possible future situations of the subject. If Lithy channels this ability with her illusion of hypnotic ability, she can possibly open a portal of time and space within her and the willing participant's minds, offering them safe passage within the 888 Plains of Existence to visit said vision within the place and time it may occur. She's only attempted this feat once - and the results were successful; except for the fact that the one who requested the read and voyage is still stuck in the future, they requested to see. Lithy did regain connection to that person, and they are very content with their new life. With this connection, Lithy eventually learned the proper way to manage this skill and bring a person back. [hr] [*][u]Hypnotic Magic[/u] The users of the power can utilize powerful spells to hypnotize targets, affecting or directly influencing their targets' minds to their commands. She uses her amazing vibrating eyes, or the smooth tones of her motherland's ancient tongue, to awaken this skill; snaring weak, unwilling minds to listen and obey. (Requires approval by other members of RP, if she uses this, or any other skill, on another character.) [hr] [*][u]Psionic Darkness Manipulation[/u] The user can manipulate the esoteric side of the darkness/shadow, with special properties, psychic, and mystical nature to it. With mastery, the wielder could use the esoteric element for a variety of magical effects. Weaknesses: It May be difficult to control, Users of Psychic Shield may be immune, & any Psychic Light Manipulation can counter it. [hr] [*][u]Curse Inducement[/u] Users can place a curse on whatever they wish (people, places, objects, etc.). The exact effects can be nearly anything the user desires, ranging from minor annoyances to tortuously extended death. Among the most common effects are misfortune/bad luck, various sicknesses, infertility, physical defects/ugliness, etc. when affecting people, breaking or working wrong or causing problems when used on objects, and tendency to draw various disasters for places. Traditional magical curses include transforming the victim fully or partially into an animal/monster that fits the offense, blood-lust, insanity, unstoppable rages, unhealing wounds, misshapen/inhuman offspring, and a whole host of other effects. Curses are well known to create and induce supernatural anomalies. Anomalies are capable of warping reality too, such as dimensional rifts appearing on any surface like the ceiling, wall, or floor, and among other things like various objects appearing out of thin air, etc. [hr] [*][u]Sympathetic Magic[/u] User can utilize the principles of sympathetic magic, a form of magic which can have an imitative and influencing effect on the users' reality, which grants the users a form of control over the users' reality and those in it which can come in two aspects: [u]Law of Similarity[/u] or "like affects like": model or miniature of a real-world object that affects the real-life counterpart when changed. For example, a miniature New York where you can move buildings and they'll move in the real New York. Or a globe (careful with it) if you poke it carelessly, you'll crush the entirety of a country. This allows the user to scry the object in question because it also happens to the replica. [u]Law of Contact/Contagion[/u]: that things that have once been in contact with each other continue to act on each other at a distance after the physical contact has been severed. This makes someone who knows how to do it right truly dangerous because they can ignore any distance to hurt someone with only a bit of something they have used, for example, clothing, personal possessions, etc., or (even better) part of them, for example, blood, hair, and nail-clippings. [hr] [*][u]Gestalt Soul[/u] The ability to possess a soul made up of other souls. The user possesses a soul that was made from/composed of two or more other souls. This could include fragments of multiple, incomplete souls woven into a single, functioning soul or multiple, whole souls made into one. {NOTE: This is an ability Lithy is unaware of. Papa Legba has instilled this within her making, bounding her into a pathway that will, one day, lead Lithy into becoming a new Loa for the modern age.} [hr] [*][u]Ogun[/u] The user can have access to the traits and abilities of the Loa Ogun, a spirit that stands within both the light and dark sides of Voudou. [/LIST] [/hider] [h2][color=orange]Spells[/color][/h2] [hider] [List] [*][u]Catoptromancy[/u] (Mirror Scurrying) The power to use reflective surfaces to see people or objects far away from the user. [hr] [*][u]Nature Magic[/u] (Animal) The user can use magic to cast spells that draw upon the physical forces of the natural world. They can create/control elemental creatures, cast spells, and harness nature's magical energies. The user can use magic to control animals, transform themselves or others into animals, mimic animal traits and summon/create animal spirits and/or animals. They can communicate with animals, borrow their senses, possess them, and otherwise use animals as extensions of themselves. [*][u]Revivify[/u] Can touch a creature that has died within the last minute and return them to life, but the body will still need healing to fully return to health. This spell can't return to life a creature that has died of old age, nor can it restore any missing body parts.

She lived with her mother, Seganna, who was in the village Rada Mambo. Her estranged father, a rather disagreeable Petro Oungan wannabe, did not leave the province on good terms during his short stay there. Lithy hoped to avoid that negative legacy for the better. One thing she was thrilled about leaving Haiti; she'd be safer somewhere else. Suffers from PTSD, after several kidnappings throughout her childhood, she had lived in constant fear for her life. In Haiti, Albinos are considered either good luck charms or living demons. Therefore, she almost lost fingers, an arm, an ear for someone's good luck, and there were attempts on her life several times - to extinguish the supposed demons within. Many of these close calls were due to her father's influence over a certain group of people. Because of those close-calls, Lithy will go into full defense mode if spooked. She has been slowly recovering from her childhood PTSD since she's lived away from the island for so long, and was able to receive mental and medical attention. But time will tell if she'll ever break completely out of her paranoia. Living in America had given her the freedom to live away from her fearful life. But now, the sudden feeling of loss, as if missing a vital limb, and the constant pulling and shifting that had caused her to lose focus on what's before her; she's started to believe something else was wrong with her. But... she's felt like this ever since leaving Haiti and considered it a strong case of Homesickness that's lasting far...far too long. [hr] [color=orange][h3]Extra[/h3][/color] Spoken Languages: English, Creole, French, Italian, Spanish, German, Tagalog, Mandarin, Korean, Hindi. She works at the Census office as an Interpreter. She also owns an online language site where she helps people learn languages through natural communication. Been competing in fencing collegially for six years. Her psychiatrist recommended the sport to her to help her fight against her fear of sharp objects - becoming a threat with one in her control, rather than being a victim under its tip. [/hider] [color=orange][h2]Her Belief[/h2][/color] [hider] [center][img]https://i.postimg.cc/d0PFf2yw/Legba_image.jpg[/img][/center] She worships the Voudou Rada Iwa Papa Legba, her divine tutelary. But, she has a very strong connection to the Petro size of Voudou due to her unknown father. It pulls towards her on the daily, but she has no idea of which Iwa it is attempting to make claim. However, due to this, Papa Legba had called upon another Iwa from the fanmi to keep an eye on her - this one has the ability to stand between both nanchons (Rada and Petro), an Andezo "en deux eaux" an Iwa who stands in two waters. Iwa Ogun resides within her espri when she requires his aid but normally remains within her cat familiar, Amos. {NOTE: The truth of all is that Papa Legba is Lithy's true father. He watches over her in hopes to guide her development anonymously, hoping to watch his only daughter grow to become a new Loa for modern times.} [center][img]https://i.postimg.cc/9wyJP6Ws/ogun-james-c-lewis.jpg[/img][/center] Lithy's childhood was full of people believing that she held the spirit of a demon within her - the reason why they constantly attacked her. Others believed she held the spirit of a blessed Mambo, so she was pure luck; luckier than a rabbit's paw. Both are quite correct due to Ogun's Andezo nature {as well as the hidden truth she's unaware of}. [center][img]https://i.postimg.cc/5XCh02QS/d4b315a9accd94e8ee4489bb63a542ae.jpg[/img][/center] Lithy's appearance when under Ogun's influence as The Warrior. Her eyes turn jade and sigils form across her skin in a golden light. No bumblebee on her forehead, but a bright golden light shines at the center of her forehead to represent 'the seeing eyes').[/hider] [center][h1][color=D3D3D3]Amos[/color][/h1][/center] [center][img]https://i.postimg.cc/hhwx39B4/Superb-Maine-Coon.jpg[/img][/center] [hider=Amos] Her Maine Coon cat Familiar; Amos was her childhood cat in Haiti. Her father, on the first day he visited the village after her 12th birthday - which held a major significance in her magical studies, after a huge fight with her mother, stormed out of the house and kicked Amos roughly out of his way. That impact sent the poor creature high into the air, only to land on the iron fence surrounding her mother's yard. Her beloved cat impaled, Lithi was saddened and highly angered at this unknown stranger who just wished her well for her birthday. As she removed her cat from the fence, her emotions running dangerously high, she cursed the man with an unknown something that still plagues him to this day. Unknowingly, she sent a touch of her espri within her cat, giving the body enough energy to regain to breathe. When her mother realized what had happened, she decided to help bring Amos back to health - but she knew that would require more than a few bandages. Lithi participated in her first ritual of renewal, and in the midst of this, her mother requested from Papa Legba, and her personal tutelary, Agwe, to use Amos to protect her special child. That's when Papa Legba asked for Ogou's assistance. When he entered the cat's body, his wounds were healed. He's remained by Lithy's side ever since, not because his cousin asked, but because he can sense the need to keep this young lady safe. [/hider] [/hider]
