[b]15 | Raven Chandra Jones |  She/Her[/b][hr][i]"I have to save her; I have to save Sunshine."[/i][/center][/cell][cell]
[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]The strange girl that the Sycamore Tree Coven has been receiving Recollections about following her journies in the Pit and beyond for odd reasons. Raven Jones was born in the Pit when her mother, the so-called "Mother Blood," was, for her heinous crimes, banished to the Pit. She is being raised by her mother to survive in the Pit and getting trained in the infamous "Blood Art Technique." However, she finds the Blood Art Technique inefficient and has modified it to create her Spells brand. She's a terrified and easily startled young girl, but she's trying her best... despite her timid demeanor, she shows signs of having her mother's brutality and has a strange fascination with blood. Raven is interested in the "source" of magic that her mother speaks of. Unlike her mother, she is not albino but she is African-American with dark skin and black hair; unfortunately, she isn't that tall at five-two due to lack of nutrition.[/indent]

[b]Abstraction:[/B]
Adept - [i]Green Lux.[/i] Channeler: Her Mother's Jewel Amulet
[indent][b]Wound Transferral:[/b] A trademark Spell from her mother, and acts as a form of Regeneration. With this Spell, Raven can transfer one of her wounds to the last people she has touched in the last few days. She can only do this once; then, she must touch that person again to transfer it.

[b]Bone-Blades:[/b] Raven can create blades out of her bones and have them violently burst from her body - which is as painful as it sounds. Raven has optimized this Spell by creating bone blades and breaking them off to create makeshift knives.

[b]Pain-Suppressant:[/b] Raven can temporarily negate her pain... the only issue is that once the Spell wears off, she'll be feeling [i]all[/i] of it at once.

[b]Blood-Lust:[/b] A passive Spell that will activate while Raven is fighting; the more she fights, she will gain the ability to "ignore" her injuries. Her intestines can be hanging out, she could have lost most of the blood in her body and missing two limbs, and she can keep fighting until she dies, or the opponent dies.

[b]Body-Puppetry:[/b] Raven can tap into someone's nervous system and control their body with her mind alone... this Spell has a concise range and only works on those without an Emotional-Field.

[b]Meat-Wall:[/b] Raven can generate a mass of rock-hard flesh and detach it from herself to act as a shield or blockade.

[b]Eye-Burst:[/b] A favored Spell by Sunshine when going against the Blind. As the name implies, Raven can cause someone's eyeballs to pop and render them blind if they do not have an Emotional-Field.

[b]Shapeshifting:[/b] Raven can temporarily transform her body into anything within the bounds of a human, even if it defies the laws of mass conservation.

[b]Hematophagia:[/b]  Another of Sunshine's favored spells, Raven can regenerate wounds by drinking blood - usually utilized as a scare tactic [i]and[/i] an alternate form of healing when she cannot transfer wounds.

[b][b]Limb-Generation:[/b] [/b]Raven casts this spell and uses it to create extra limbs or replace lost ones. She can destroy these limbs and generate them on whoever doesn’t have an Emotional-Field.

[b]Nervous-System Illusions:[/b] Raven can tap into a body's nervous system and create different illusions... this Spell works best on the Blind/One-Eye-Open but requires extra time and effort to penetrate an Emotional-Field.

[b]Blood Spray:[/b] Raven sprays boiling blood out of her pores; this blood is hot enough to cause second-degree burns.

[b]Gore Bomb:[/b] Raven reaches into herself and pulls out a mass of flesh and nail-like bones that’ll explode on contact—launching the bones in all directions.

[b]Body-Enhancement:[/b] Sunshine's favorite Spell... for a short period, she can raise all of her attributes (Her strength, stamina, speed, durability, senses, etc) to superhuman levels.[/indent]

[b]41 | Sunshine Bella Jones |  She/Her[/b][hr][i]"I [b]will[/b] drink the blood of magic straight from the source."[/i][/center][/cell][cell]
[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Known as [i]Echidna, The Killer with a Thousand Faces, and Mother Blood[/i]  leader of the multiversal cult known as [i]The Inner Circle[/i] and known for crafting the now forbidden method of casting known as the [i]Blood Art Technique[/i]. She and her society aimed to find the source of magic (the "blood" of it, they called it), and to this end, they gradually fell off the deep end. Sunshine Jones was known across the All-Verse for her savagery and brutal experiments... until she was finally stopped one day and imprisoned.

It was determined that she should receive the highest punishment known to man, a fate worse than death; she was shunted into The Pit. However, she was eight months pregnant then, and she gave birth to her daughter, [i]Raven[/i], in the Pit. Despite being in a literal hell, Sunshine loves her daughter more than anything in the world and would do anything so the horrors of the pit don't so much as touch her. 

Sunshine's goal is to escape the Pit, or at least get Raven out of there, and continue her plans to find the "source" of magic. Thus, Sunshine trained her daughter in the forbidden art of the Blood Art Technique and taught her everything she knew. However, the Pit likes her... it does not want to let her go. Sunshine is tall at five-nine but skinny; living off scraps in the Pit does that to you. She is notable because she is ethnically African-American but is albino, so her skin and hair are white. [/indent]

[b]Abstraction:[/B]
Adept - [i]Green Lux.[/i] Channeler: Jewel Amulet.
[indent]Sunshine was considered to be one of the few Adept [i]masters[/i] as she trained since she was nine years old. She has a [i]variety[/i] of spells that she developed and learned from other Adepts. Her method of casting spells was the Blood Art Technique, which drew symbols with human blood, and the magic would come out. She likened magic to a form of science, and her affinity was towards the human body, being a former biologist. Sunshine's proficiency with this method was so high that she remembered [i]every[/i] spell or symbol off the back of her hand.[/indent]

[b]62 | Jammison Johnathon Vanburen |  He/Him[/b][hr][i]"The world is full of wonderful, fleeting, precious things."[/i][/center][/cell][cell]
[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Mr. Magnanimous himself. An oddity in the city of St. Portwell, as few know where he came from or why he's here. However, he just showed up in the city one day with [i]bags[/i] of money, established a family business, bought a mansion, etc. He became a famous and popular face in the city of St. Portwell as he would do everything in his power to help the impoverished and desperate of the city - declaring himself [i]Magnanimous[/i]. However, he is far more famous for his acts to... build his family. There are dozens of different children that all have roots to him, and many of them despise him for excessively spreading his seed throughout St. Portwell and beyond. 

However, James holds a secret... back in his prime years, he was an adventurer who traveled throughout the All-Verse. Gathering many different artifacts while defeating many multiversal threats, he was most famous for defeating Sunshine Jones and her Inner Circle. He ultimately oversaw her fate being thrown into the Pit. However, James quickly retired afterward to Shimmer and built up the family and legacy that he could only dream of. The artifacts and treasure he collected were placed in his mansion - with the more dangerous artifacts hidden away in those walls. James was happy... however, before the Stygian Snake began its rampage, coincidentally, he was tragically murdered, and control of his empire was handed to his son, Ezra Vanburen. 

He had something to do with Raven Jones.[/indent]

[b]Abstraction:[/B]
Agent - [i]James Collection.[/i]
[indent] James primarily used various artifacts with different magical properties as an adventurer. He put most of his collection in his mansion, but he kept a variety of powerful artifacts that would help him in a pinch. Below are his artifacts.

[indent][b]James' Rifle:[/b] James is a famous and favorite artifact in his arsenal, one that he has been using since he was a young man. A Lee-Enfield rifle that, once the trigger was pulled, would not shoot a bullet but a marble-sized blast of magic that'd send anything he hit to another dimension. The marble will penetrate any defenses, magical or otherwise, and has a bottomless clip.

[b]Shield of Exusia:[/b] A deployable barrier inside of a gauntlet which James can control the size. He can deploy it to be tiny or large enough to cover him. The shield is nearly impenetrable.
 
[b]The Tyrant Destroyer IV:[/b] A famous weapon that was a part of the series of seven different magical weapons (two gauntlets, a spear, a shield, etc.). The Tyrant Destroyer is a magical sword that James can summon at will, and the blade can sense the "corruption" in a person. It'll generate a searing flame if it collides with tyrants and other monsters. This flame will attempt to consume them and bypass any defenses (fire resistance being the most notable). While pure of heart or otherwise righteous will not be affected by the flames, the blade can still slash them.

[b]Buttonless Sack:[/b] It appears as a simple burlap sack, but it's an infinite storage in which all James has to do is reach inside and pull out what he desires. It's what he uses to store his artifacts.

[b]The Key to Worlds:[/b] How James went from one dimension to another, a magical glowing white key that all he had to do was stick in the air, and it would create a "door" to a different world. Upon removing the key, the door disappears and can be used infinite times.

[b]??? | ??? |  She/Her[/b][hr][i]"The Pit likes you; it doesn't want to let you go."[/i][/center][/cell][cell]
[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]A mysterious... [i]being,[/i] that inhabits the Pit. Mother Will claims to be the mouthpiece for the Pit and has a direct connection with it. She speaks as if The Pit is a living, breathing place... and given how [i]corrupted[/i] the Pit is, Mother Will may be correct. She appears before people she finds exciting and "judges" them, telling them how much the Pit favors them. If the Pit "likes" them, then it's unlikely any harm will come to them (but it also means the Pit won't let them leave). If the Pit "hates" them, their days are likely numbered (but they may be allowed to escape the Pit). She seems to be omnipresent and appears in several different places at once.[/indent]

[indent]It's unknown if the Mother Will is even anything within the bounds of Paranormal.[/indent]

[b]Deceased | Reza Cabrera | He/Him [/b][hr][i]"If you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us."[/i]
[@Blizz][/center][/cell][cell]
[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Reza was chosen by the Noble Vow for a reason. He was a kind young man, who saw good in places no one else could, and stood up for it when others would turn and leave. No one knew where Reza came from, only that he one day showed up in St. Portwell with a magic sword. He called himself a no-name drifter, just going from place to place until he came across the Sycamore Coven. Reza never made a single enemy, and could always find a few good things to say about even the most misanthropic members of the coven, even when their true colors were laid bare on a battlefield. He left no one behind, always fought tooth and nail to save others from the most bleak circumstances. It did not matter if someone was lost in a pocket dimension, or dragged through a portal by the Stygian Snake itself, Reza would follow his friends to hell and back, and was always the first one to kick open the doors.

Reza grew particularly close with Jack Hawthorne, and they were often seen together when the coven mobilized to stop the tide of otherworldly entities. They made an incredible team, and bonded over their background, having both been aimless before they met the Sycamore. They saved each other's lives more times than they could count, and saw one another through the lowest points in their lives. Reza was inevitably killed during the conflict, on the exact day when they sealed the Stygian Snake away for good. [/indent]

Agent - Noble Vow
[indent]The Noble Vow is a [url=https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/710908524602851461/1196968006740357212/dc16543d0ebc35323e2e020f56dc8fc9.png?ex=65b98e53&is=65a71953&hm=b36902393ec2d4198ced69914a5e1d98d0f26e5b4e0ac9ba7288e84265e832d1&=&format=webp&quality=lossless]sword [/url] believed to have formed out of the desire to do good in the world, expressed through the hearts of humanity. Whoever wields the Noble Vow must believe in the causes they commit themselves to, follow through with their promises, and never take a life unless they believe it to be just. These are necessary, or else the Noble Vow simply a dull piece of metal that will never cut anything. But when all of these conditions are met, and the wielder is deemed to be morally good by the sword, its blade becomes impossibly sharp, and will cut through solid steel as if it were paper. The sword is capable of injuring most apparitions as if they were made of flesh and bone, and those who harbor significant feelings of guilt in their hearts suffer its injuries for much longer periods of time.

When someone who wields to Noble Vow dies, their swordsmanship skills are stored within the blade, and passed onto the next wielder. To receive this knowledge, one must be deemed worthy by the sword, which has shown to have a mind of its own in picking and choosing who is permitted to wield its power. After Reza's death and the conclusion of the battle against the Stygian Snake, the Noble Vow was entrusted to Jack Hawthorne, who kept it close in honor of his deceased friend.

[b]18 | Claire Annabelle O'Sullivan |  She/Her[/b][hr][i]"Call me cute; whatever you think will get you in my pants."[/i][/center][/cell][cell]
[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]A girl who had it just a [i]little bit[/i] rough... her parents ran a relatively successful Diner, and in those days, Claire was a bright-eyed gal with hopes for the future! However, due to a shady deal, the Diner was sold and ultimately ran into the ground, leaving her parents without the Diner their grandparents owned, and left them broke, dissolute, and angry, going straight to the bottle. Naturally, they took their anger out on the young Claire, and she grew up being beaten and emotionally abused, leaving the girl a broken shell of a person. Claire had no relief or anywhere to go, so she had to take it. 

The girl acted out and fell into the bad crowds... she was used to detention and going home in a police car. She was known for getting into fights, stealing, smoking weed, and sleeping around with both genders. A hoe reputation was the least of Claire's worries as she usually had to sleep with someone to be [i]anywhere[/i] but home. However, one day, they pushed young Claire to the brink. She finally experienced her Kindling-Event... and after experimenting with it, she could finally find her relief and defend herself... and was quickly thrown into the streets, which were [i]not[/i] kind to a young, in shape girl. 

She would pay anything not to go back to the O'Sullivan household, but one night, she was forced to go back home by the police where her parents were acting... strange. As it turned out, they were enthralled by the Stygian Snake and attempted to kill her, only for Claire to fight them off and haul ass into the night. The Stygian Snake attacked her, but she was able to get away. She asked around the school about anything weird happening... only to run into the cheerleader trio. They told me about the weird shit that was going on in St. Portwell and that they were going to do something about it. 

Claire was under that Sycamore Tree with Zoey, making their oath, and she was one of the famed primary frontline fighters of the Old Coven. Her dedication and savagery were legendary as she felled many of the Stygian Snake's minions and came to see the Old Coven as the family she never had! Though, old habits die hard and she slept around in the Old Coven. Things changed during their darkest hour when a girl named Sharon Reid, desperate to defeat the Stygian Snake, attempted to use a forbidden Spell that would sacrifice [i]thousands[/i] of citizens. Claire, Britney, Daisy, and Auri confronted Sharon, who triggered the Spell... killing Claire in the process. After her death, Claire was immortalized on the mural as [b][code]COS YA.[/code][/b] Claire was a relatively tall gal at five-nine feet tall, skinny, and had short brown hair. She usually had a hoarse voice from all the smoking she did.

She was very close to Britney Williams, who regrets letting her die.[/indent]

Adept - [i]Yellow-Lux.[/i] Channeler: An old teddy bear Strapped to her hip.
[indent][b]Aura Shell:[/b] Claire could activate a powerful barrier that floated a few inches off her skin at will, acting as magical armor. This barrier could be manually activated, but it subconsciously activated whenever Claire sensed danger or got worried. This barrier was powerful, allowing Claire to tank hits from the [i]Stygian Snake[/i] (it was damn near broken at that point afterward), and made her practically invincible to its mooks. Also, the barrier allowed Claire to simulate super strength and lift to three tons - not enough to threaten the Stygian Snake, but enough to serve a problem to anything else. The barrier wrapped around Claire's clothing and whatever she held so she could use it to protect allies and augment weapons to attack.

[b]15 | Sharon Allison Reid |  She/Her[/b][hr][i]"... We can't stop it, no one can."[/i][/center][/cell][cell]
[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]A distraught girl from the jump, as she was... unstable. The girl had difficulty keeping a lid on her emotions and found it very easy to get upset and blow up at other people. So, she usually stayed away from people, and she spent her early days being homeschooled and had great memories with her younger sister Bláthnat (who goes by Sugar these days). However, there was something off about her father, John Reid; he would sneak off to Cracker Island every Tuesday around eleven PM. 

Out of curiosity, Sharon followed after him one time, only to discover that her father was a serial killer who sacrificed women at a weird underground temple to a being known as the... Stygian Snake? It was crazy, Sharon confronted her father and he explained that if they didn't annually sacrifice women to the Stygian Snake, it would come to St. Portwell. The sheer stress of everything broke Sharon, and she fell apart... going through her Kindling-Event and discovering her Black Lux. She explored it a bit...

... And used it to kill her father. 

Afterward, Sharon just hid the body somewhere, and that was the end of it. Or so she thought because shortly afterward, the Stygian Snake began its rampage throughout St. Portwell, and she knew that maybe her father was onto something. To see if she could drive the bastard off, she stalked and sacrificed a woman... only for the thing to continue its rampage. Sharon kept at it, only for nothing to happen. Eventually, she was found by the Sycamore Tree Coven, and she joined them in their fight against the Stygian Snake. Keeping everything she did a secret, but she couldn't help but blame herself for everything that went wrong. Sharon kept to herself; however, a manual for Black Adepts was recovered during the Coven's excursions to other universes, and she found a spell in code. 

After working with the "Smart Club," she decoded it and found out it was instructions for a forbidden Spell: The Soulstorm. It was a powerful and devastating spell that could ravage even the strongest Paranormal beings, but it required a sacrifice: a thousand human souls. Sharon knew the cost was too high, and she wouldn't play God like [i]that[/i]. However, more and more of the old Coven's members began dropping like flies, and she knew they were running out of time. The day of the Eclipse was a day away. The Stygian Snake began its nightly rampage. It was all her fault. Sharon prepared the ritual... and was confronted by various members of the Old Coven. Sharon continued the ritual, only to prematurely launch it, killing [i]hundreds[/i] of innocent citizens and a few members of the Old Coven (including Claire O'Sullivan) in the process. Sharon tried to launch the spell again, only to be killed by Britney Williams.

It became a secret among those present, and they went and told everyone that Sharon died fighting the Stygian Snake, and she earned herself a spot in their mural ([b][code]SR BA[/code][/b]).[/indent]

[b]Abstraction:[/B]
Adept - [i]Black-Lux.[/i] Channeler:
[indent][b]Spectral-Blast:[/b] A focused blast of Necromantic energy that could directly injure Apparitions; she could manifest this in the form of a ball of various sizes or a beam. However, the more powerful she wanted to make the Spectral Blast, the more she had to channel and focus.

[b]Spectral-Dart:[/b] A smaller version of the Spectral-Blast, she can instantly summon some tiny blasts that do not do as much damage but are not as time-consuming to cast.

[b]Ethereal-Wave:[/b] The most powerful form of the Spectral-Blast, a powerful wave of Necromantic energy that requires several minutes to charge up. However, once cast, it can instantly destroy any Apparition short of the Stygian Snake (which damaged it enough to drive it off one instance).

[b]Ethereal-Bind:[/b] Sharon could create several strings of necromantic energy out of her hands and wrap them around Apparitions to hold them down.

[b]Soulstorm:[/b] A forbidden spell and the peak of all necromantic casting... it's a mighty storm of necromantic energy stated to be powerful enough to destroy even the Stygian Snake. However, it requires hundreds of human souls to cast and be compelling enough to destroy the Stygian Snake. Sharon considered the cost too high until they were almost on the day of the Eclipse.

[b]16 (at time of death) | Ella Rene Brooks | She/Her [/b][hr][i]"In the name of the Sycamore Tree, I’ll shine light on all evil and vanquish it! Shining prism power! I’ll- what do you mean it’s cringey? Every magical girl needs a catchphrase!"[/i]
[@FernStone][/center][/cell][cell]
[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]A nerdy and cheerful girl, Ella was the youngest of two with overworked but trying their best parents. When she was younger she always had her nose stuck in a book, letting it entertain her where her parents couldn’t, and then when she was allowed to access the internet at home she discovered her true passion - anime. Ella was absolutely obsessed with it, especially loving Sailor Moon and others like it. When she started high school she made her own little friend group of four weebs who all watched anime together, talking in a near understandable language about it to each other. They were bullied by the likes of Emily G. Reed and similar - but Ella & her weeb friends had each other for support through it. 

Then one day, when Ella and her friends were at the arcade, people around them started acting… odd. Then, two of her friends did too. They tried to kill her, triggering a kindling event for Ella and her other friend, Saskia. Between them, with their newfound powers and a bit of anime inspiration, they were able to escape before they were killed. They then ran into members of the Sycamore Tree coven pursuing the snake, and joined the coven. Ella was… looked at weirdly in the coven. She was strong and able to be on the front lines, but she couldn’t go a day without shouting out some cringy line (which was mandatory for using her abstraction). 

During the final week, Ella took on a group of apparitions that were too strong and she was too confident. She was brutally killed by them when she could no longer fight them off. After death, she was given a spot on the mural ([code]EB GORA[/code]). Ella was a just above average African-American girl, at five-six (and still growing), with natural hair dip dyed purple. She was always found in bright colours or anime t-shirts.  [/indent]

[b]Abstraction:[/B]
Adept - [i]Green, Orange & Red Lux[/i]. Channeler: 
[indent][b]Magical Girl Transformation[/b]: Using a combination of her lux, Ella transforms herself into her magical girl form. This is mandatory for using any other spells (it's a mental block). She yells out a phrase and her whole body is bathed in prismatic light. Her clothes change into a purple miniskirt, white leotard and tiara, and her hair lengthens - colour changing into a pink to purple gradient. She poses dramatically at the end with her channeler (unnecessary for the spell to work). 

[b]Prismatic Sun Beam![/b]: Ella shot a beam of burning, rainbow light out of her channeler. This could pierce through objects and damage apparitions and people. It was her strongest spell.

[b]Prismatic Healing Beam![/b]: Ella could shoot a beam of healing, rainbow light from her channeller, healing whoever it hit. It could heal one person in this light beam.

[b]Super Prism Kick![/b]: Using her red and green lux, Ella empowered one of her legs with shining rainbow light. This made her leg much stronger and harder, along with making herself more flexible. She then performs a high kick with this leg. She could have used this spell for other types of attacks, but she didn’t. 

[b]Prismatic Protection![/b] Ella imbued her magical girl outfit, or another object, with an aura of rainbow light that made it physically stronger and thus more resistant to attacks.[/indent]

[b]16 (at the time of death) | Saskia Anneke Otten | They/She [/b][hr][i]"We’re all going to die anyway, might as well just let it happen- I’m joking. Don’t look at me like that.."[/i]
[@FernStone][/center][/cell][cell]
[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Born to two Dutch immigrants, Saskia was an only child with high expectations on their shoulders. Their parents had their whole future planned out - they’d get the best grades, go to the best school, and become something prestigious, like a doctor or lawyer. When they were young Saskia was able to meet these expectations but as they grew it got harder and harder. They escaped primarily through reading - fantasy, horror and all kinds of darker fiction - and listening to music (namely rock and metal). They had very few friends, with their entire life being studying and reading. 

Then they started highschool and met Ella. Ella introduced them to anime, while also becoming their first friend. This was a whole new media to explore and escape to! With the new escape, and one friend becoming three, Saskia began to push back against their parents. They experimented more with their gender, dyed their hair, went out and started staying out late (watching anime). It was on one of these unapproved trips out that their two friends were enthralled by the Stygian Snake, triggering their kindling event. Together with Ella they were able to escape, and joined the Sycamore Tree coven. They stuck with Ella, not being as friendly as her, and helped on the frontlines.

The day before the Eclipse, when they had to fight the Stygian Snake thanks to Drake’s recklessness, Saskia ended up trapped by a large group of apparitions. She managed to fight them off but used too much blood, and died to her wounds and bleeding out. She’s immortalised on the memorial ([code]SO GA[/code]). Saskia was a short, white girl at five-one, with dyed shoulder length hair and a few ear piercings. Saskia had quite a dark sense of humour, in the teenage way of not knowing when they were going too far with it.[/indent]

[b]Abstraction:[/B]
Adept - [i]Green Lux[/i]. Channeler: a black leather bracelet
[indent][b]Blood Control:[/b] Inspired by all the edgy anime she watched, namely Deadman Wonderland, Saskia can control her own blood outside of her body. She needed to be bleeding to do this, so she’d normally carry a small knife with her to cut her finger and use the blood there. Since she was using her own blood, she had the potential to use too much and bleed out (which is what led to her death). She normally used her blood in two forms:
[indent][b]Blood Blade[/b]: Saskia would form a long, sharp blade from the top of each of their hands. They used this for close ranged combat, able to slice through apparitions and objects.

[b]Blood Tentacle[/b]: Using more blood, Saskia can form a long tentacle out of blood from her back. This could be used at a longer range, dealing blunt damage to anything it hit and able to pierce with the tip.[/indent]

[b]28 | Scott Lucas Reese |  He/Him[/b][hr][i]"It's still in me, and I wanna let it out..."[/i][/center][/cell][cell]
[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]The son of the St. Portwell Police Commissioner Steven Reese... growing up, Scott felt like he was invincible, as no one would dare mess with the son of the police commissioner, who was [i]very[/i] well connected to the politics of St. Portwell. This inflated Scott's ego and gave him the feeling that he could do whatever he wanted to whoever he wanted. Naturally, he was a famed bully around St. Portwell High and gave many members of the Old Coven some very long-lasting trauma... however, things changed for Scott after the Stygian Snake arrived in St. Portwell. There was a party, and naturally, Scott went a bit too far and got his ass kicked by the very worms he used to bully! 

Scorned and defeated, Scott stumbled through the woods home... however, the Stygian Snake selected Scott as his thrall, seeing the anger and negativity he generated. He wasn't just any thrall; the Stygian Snake gave Scott a bit of its dark power and transformed Scott into a freakishly strong brute. He sent Scott back to the party, where he went on a rampage with an axe and fled into the night. Since then, he had been going on rampages, killing anyone who could get in the Stygian's Snake Way, including the Sycamore Tree Coven. Scott cut down several members during a raid of their lair one night and was a persistent thorn in their side. Regardless of how often Scott was put down, the Stygian Snake would use its evil power to resurrect him. 

Then the final battle came; Scott battled the Sycamore Tree Coven and was thrown out of the battle by Adora's Trinity into the ocean, where he was believed to have drowned... however, Scott survived. When the Stygian Snake was sealed, it could no longer influence him. And he was free! However, fragments of the Stygian Snake's presence exist in his mind, demanding it be free from its prison. 

Scott simply disappeared without a trace, and because the Old Coven assumed he was dead, no one bothered to look for him...[/indent]

[b]Abstraction:[/B]
Afflicted - [i]Herald of the Devil Snake.[/i]
[indent]A powerful abstraction that feasts on the negative emotions of those around him to fuel his power. The Herald of the Devil Snake transformed Scott into a [url=https://i.imgur.com/IP3Rfxk.jpg]brute[/url] with [i]titanic[/i] strength that made him a threat so severe that the only option half the time was to flee the second he entered - and if he was killed, the Stygian Snake resurrected him by the next night. He was strong, fast, tough, could regenerate, and could simply not be defeated by most of the Old Coven... however, he could be avoided, mobbed, and/or tricked.[/indent]
