Olivia.Ruiz | |
---|---|
27 | Olivia Chloe Ruiz | She/Her "A little kindness can go a long way." | Description: Olivia was a sweet girl, filled with kindness and constantly helping others. During the Stygian Snakeβs rampage she was hurt protecting a stranger from an apparition, being one eye open at the time, and it was then that she had her life saved by Britney Williamsβ¦ and bound to an apparition somehow. The stranger she defended was Luca Oliviera, who was also unknowingly adjoined with an apparition. She helped the coven defeat the Stygian Snake, and tried to stick with it afterwards. She didnβt particularly want to continue participating in the world of the paranormal, but had no choice while she was still adjoined. Even when it came to light that Britney was the one who had forcefully adjoined them, Olivia didnβt hold it against her like most others. She was hurt, but understood. When the coven dissolved Olivia followed Luca, who sheβd formed a close friendship with, to join the 8th Street Coven. Then she followed them when they left. They lived together for a short while in St Portwell, trying to find a way to free themselves from their apparitions. Hers didnβt harm her as actively, so she had learned to live with the voice in her head, and eventually they went their separate ways when she decided to move with her family to the other side of the country. They kept in touch, calling each other almost every week, until one week ago when she completely vanished. Abstraction: Adjoined - The Black Rose Killer Olivia is adjoined with an apparition that formed on the death of a serial killer (& kidnapper), a piece of leftover consciousness born from the strong emotions felt upon his untimely death. It gave her the ability to bind people with vines, and to create a large prison out of thick rose vines. The apparition was malevolent, and constantly trying to force its twisted wants on Olivia. |
_______________________________________________ Alyssa Burns She/Her | 27 | European-American | 5'9" | 145lbs _______________________________________________ Real _______________________________________________ Skills & Talents "I know a thing or two." ___________________________________ [REMOVE THIS. A list of everything your character is good at... just, uh, keep it realistic. If I see one judo black belt with survival skills training, cooking, and rifle training, I'm gonna slap a bitch. REMOVE THIS.] [Cooking] β«» She learned it all from her grandmother. [Underworld Connections] β«» Lyss understands how the shady side of the world works. She has friends there, and they know people who know certain things that helped her in her career. [Weaponry and Combat] β«» Even with the ability to summon her own personal army, Lyss has learned that it's a good idea to defend herself without it. She carries a pistol with her, and also a lucky metal bat. She prefers to use the bat first. | Appearance βββββββββββββ "Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick, and get your shit together." Lyss has a sort of unblemished, untouched look to her beauty. Her fair skin is smooth and unscarred. Her most striking feature would be her eyes. They're a green flecked hazel, and they seem to peer through to the soul of anyone she meets. She wears smokey eyeshadow to highlight them. Besides the eyeshadow, Lyss prefers not to wear any other makeup except for her staple lip colors; these colors remain between dark red and mauve. She is rarely seen without any makeup, as it has become a part of her and not just an accessory. Her dark brown hair falls to her middle back. Since she was born, it has always been a sleek, smooth, and shiny straight style. She rarely does anything with it, except to push it back from her face. Her height comes from her long legs, and her figure curves at the right places in an hourglass shape. She stands tall and at ease, as if she is unfazed by most things. This is all a ruse, of course. Underneath her clothes lie toned muscles ready to take action at any moment. When it comes to clothing, Lyss rarely steps out of her general style. Her wardrobe consists of dark colors like black, brown, maroon, or navy. Her jeans are usually a dark washed denim or black. She is not shy to show skin, but she always balances out a tank top with her favorite dark brown leather jacket over top. In regards to shoes, Lyss prefers boots or slip on sneakers to anything with heels. |
'Violet'.Santos | |
---|---|
29 | Marcia Zoe Santos | She/Her "It's okay to stare, sweetheart." | Description: Native of Los Angeles, Violet and her best friend Pink (though they call each other sisters) drifted from town to town and ended up in St. Portwell because once they turned 18, they were put out. Violet grew up the pariah and outcast of her family and peers because she was born intersex. She has a woman's general appearance and shape to the point where she's unmistakably female but was born with male genitals. When growing up, Violet was excessively mocked and shunned for this feature because regardless of what she did, people always found out, and she could never escape it. She, in time, learned that regardless of what was between her legs, she was a woman and dressed excessively provocatively and feminine to show the world. If the weather allows it, Violet would dress in the most racy outfits possible (booty shorts, crop tops, mini-skirts that, if they were shorter, would get her arrested for indecent exposure), except she would keep that little shame in between her legs hidden. Violet is used to living on the fringes of society, as she had to steal, cheat, and other unspeakable things to ensure that she and her sister had food in their stomach and a place to sleep (even if it was the floor most of the time). Violet and Pink finally settled in St. Portwell, where the two became strippers at some trashy gig named Veni Vedi Veni, where she had to shake ass to put food on the table. Violet is half African-American, half Brazilian, with light-caramel skin, and usually has her hair dyed some color (before, it was lavender, but she dyed it hot-pink). She stands five-seven feet tall and is very skinny due to her ridiculous genetics and her... career choice. The woman is flirty, firey, and loves to make jokes... frequently taking things too far. Abstraction: Unknown. |
'Pink'.Howard | |
28 | Abigail Taya Howard | She/Her "Step into the mist, daddy. You won't forget it." | Description: Pink is Violet's best friend (though they call each other sisters) and, much like her, was born and raised in Los Angeles. Her parents weren't the best, so Pink spent her youth rolling with other troubled youth. Pink was very used to the inside of a police car that usually took her home to her parents after she committed a crime or two. She's also used to Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall as sometimes the judge wasn't so lenient on the young girl. Eventually, her parents just gave up on her, and the second she turned 18, she was put out. With her best friend, they drifted from place to place and ended up in St. Portwell. She does not like to think about what she did for food and shelter, and staying in homeless shelters gave her a lot of things to forget. Eventually, she and her sister became a stripper at Veni Vedi Veni, where she worked with her sister, Violet. Pink is African-American and usually keeps her hair natural, albeit dyed hot pink. She's skinny and dresses conservatively, making the two stick out more. Abstraction: Unknown. |
Drake.Blackmore | |
---|---|
"He realllyyy hated Jinhai, but we got on well enough I could ignore that." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Drake is one of the few that Linqian can actually say she got on with, what with them messing well on a lot of levels. Though, he did hate her brotherβ¦ Which she didnβt particularly like, being super close to him, but it was fair when she hated his older sister just as much. Even though Jinhai disapproved of it, Linqian kept in contact with Drake after the coven (unlike most everyone else, who she never wanted to talk to again). She didnβt know Jade well, but was sad to hear she was a victim of Father Wolfβ¦ another thing that now had in common, if much more depressing. |
Britney.Williams | |
"Jinhai thought highly of her, so she canβt be that bad." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Most of Linqianβs feelings towards Britney arenβt her own, but rather based off Jinhaiβs. Jinhai held good opinions about Britney, even after it was revealed what she was doing. Jinhai didnβt condone it openly but he didnβt condemn it either. Linqianβs opinion of Britney is relatively neutral, helped by the fact Britneyβs relationship with her brother seemed to be mostly βworkβ (coven wise) based. |
AlizΓ©e.Altieri | |
"Keep her away from me." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Linqian finds AlizΓ©e creepy. She felt this before finding out about her night-stalking, and the feeling is even stronger after, because what the fuck?! Linqian avoided and ignored AlizΓ©e on good days, and was outright hostile to her on bad ones. She doesn't really want to see her again. |
Eksa.Thresh | |
"Sheβs still alive? Iβm shocked." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Linqian got on with Eksa, for the most part. It was hard not to when she was so friendly. Any issues were because Linqian took something she said as a slight, when it was never meant that way, and gave her the cold shoulderβ¦ But they mostly got on. When Eksa disappeared, Linqian didnβt give her much thought anymore. |
Luca.Oliviera | |
"Who?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Linqian honestly doesnβt remember Luca. She canβt really be expected to remember everyone who was in the coven, right? Luca joined so late, and didnβt participate much in arguments, so she barely remembers him. Remembering people was her brotherβs job anyway. |
Sloane.Faris | |
"I wonder if she finally got that stick out her ass." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Linqian doesnβt hate Sloane. In fact, she tried to get on with her ten years agoβ¦ Primarily because Jinhai got on with her. But Linqian just couldnβt. She was way too stuck up, didnβt know how to have fun and constantly dishing out critiques that Linqian didnβt want to hear. A fair amount of the times Linqian lost her temper were because of Sloane. If Jinhai hadnβt been there to drag her away Linqian probably wouldβve gotten into a physical fight with her once or twice. |
Tayla.Choi | |
"I hardly recognise her." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Linqian got on well with Tayla, most of the time. She was a lot of fun to be around, and when Linqian wasnβt randomly giving her the cold shoulder they got along well. Of course then her partner tragically died in the fight with the Stygian Snake, and she basically disappeared. Linqian hasnβt heard of or thought of her since. |
Finn.Reid | |
"He should grow a spine. Wait, can he do that?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | To be honest, Linqian couldnβt give less of a fuck about Finn. In her opinion he hardly had a personality worth caring about, and the whole being an abominable thing was weird to her. Jinhai found it interesting, in the same way a scientist finds an experiment interesting, and didnβt really see Finn as a human. His opinion coloured Linqianβs when they were younger, and now that sheβs grown up sheβs completely ambivalent towards Finn. The empathic part of her is sympathetic about him losing his only family, but otherwiseβ¦ she just doesnβt care. |
"Edict".Devola | |
"Does he really think weβll believe heβs a priest now? No way heβs found God or whatever." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Linqian really didnβt care about where Greyson got his money from, or the fact he mightβve stolen a bunch of artifacts off other coven members. After all, it didnβt directly affect her. Linqian actually quite liked Greyson, because he wasnβt stuck up like so many of the other members and she could actually have fun with him (even if he also annoyed her a lot). Apart from when he tried to use his lux on herβ¦ She absolutely fucking hated that, and wouldnβt hold back in ripping into him (verbally) when he did. Still, sheβs kind of looking forward to seeing him again. |
Kali.Mahendra | |
"Again, who?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Linqian didnβt have much of a relationship with Kali in the past, and she quickly forgot him. After all, he was always in the background, which meant Linqian never paid attention to him. She has very few feelings towards him. |
Simone.Le.Fay | |
"She shouldβve stayed away from my brother." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Linqian dislikes Simone. This isnβt because of anything Simone did, really, but rather because she was good friends with Jinhai. It was an irrational jealousy and fear that the other woman, much smarter and capable than Linqian herself, would somehow steal her twin. Her distaste towards Simone has reduced over the years, but never gone away, even with Jinhai no longer being around. Simone brings out a lot of Linqianβs insecurities that sheβll never admit to having. She's not particularly happy about having to see her again with everything that's happened. |
Jack.Hawthorne | |
"Another one that got on better with my brother than me." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Linqian didnβt interact much with Jack, because he was a nerd and she very much was not. Her brother got on with him, but Linqian really couldnβt stand the guy. Mostly because he wasnβt only a nerd, but he was kinda edgy. The fact he knew so much just annoyed her far more than it shouldβve. Sheβs surprised heβs not actually dead, going by what her brother told her about the void. |
"Sully".McPherson | |
"If I missed anything about the coven, it was the beer Sully provided." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Sully provided an endless supply of beer, so of course Linqian got on with him. It was easy when someone was providing free booze. Any issues she had with him, which she had with everyone, were easily forgotten over a drink. It helped that he tolerated all of her problems as well. She can't wait to drink away her problems without having to pay a cent. |
_______________________________________________ Leon Hunter Richoux He/Him/Himself | 29 | French/Irish American | 6'8" | 300lbs _______________________________________________ Fighting _______________________________________________ Skills & Talents "Don't huff and puff at something you won't blow down." ___________________________________ Mountain Man β«» Sometimes you meet a family, they look normal enough; then a freakshow saunters in and you wonder whose Uncle descended from their troll hide in the hills. Turns out its a kid, and all you can wonder is what the FUCK they're feeding this shaved bigfoot. Leon started putting on muscle and height at an early age, and has since come to subscribe to the ideal that one's body is a temple; and his is a citadel. His job consists of fitness and health, and his lifestyle has been built around maintaining that for as long as he can remember. The Legacy of King Gravity β«» "Gravity" Richoux was Leon's Father: A world class boxer, trainer, and heir to the Richoux clan's powerful Orange Lux lineage. Leon has followed the example in every way possible, turning whatever he couldn't into a signature flair all his own. Indomitable Will β«» The capacity for strength of mind is of utmost necessity for those who wield the Tiger's Courage. You have to have a capacity for it even before you awaken, so of course Leon would be tenacious and unwavering in the face of whatever adversity is in front of him. Unflinching β«» Thanks in no small part to Leon's Iron Will, he can be quite the stone faced killer if need be. Not only undeterred by threats, he is rarely pushed into action of any kind without a great deal of patient consideration beforehand. This makes his recent actions especially worrying for his friends and allies. Natural Learning β«» Leon's not traditionally smart; his time spent learning has always been hands on and by the seat of his pants. There's a great deal of history, even about his own family, that he doesn't know. But, that has never stopped him from developing a biting wit or a fantastic knack for working with his hands. Instruments, mechanics, fighting; he just takes to it like a fish to water. St. Portwell's Own β«» Being his Father's son, Leon has continued the fighting tradition and risen to the heights of World Champion in his weight class. He's recognized well around St. Portwell, and to a lot of Blinds in the community, he's something of a local pillar. | Appearance βββββββββββββ "Why worry too much about shit that gets blood on it?" Leon is a mountain of a man standing just under seven feet tall. At his size, the natural bulk of a human is enough to cause a great deal of attention to be drawn to them, and in this case Leon has only done more to draw eyes. His fair tone skin is covered in tattoos from his hands to his pelvis, some having to do with his profession and career, others being symbolic to his family and their history or even local imagery with nods to his underground life. Prominently on his right pectoral is the Richoux clan's crest: A tower shield backing a deer in forward picture, a crown atop its head. A set of lions in the bottom right hold up small suns in their paws. Aside from the ink, Leon is fit as hell. With his job mostly consisting of eating and training for fights, he has as much time as he wants to focus on his physique. He keeps his hair long, usually tying it in some various form of bun in the gym, then letting his full mane flow otherwise. His hands are crooked, broken knuckles and scar tissue pushing the fingers into different directions than intended, but they still close into massive hamhock fists that large piston arms carry with ease. His face is surprisingly clean for a pro boxer, notably absent of the same kind of severe scarring one can expect from being drilled in the face so often. Leon was raised in the Wicca tradition, and both Lord Gravity and the Lady Hunter were dedicated not only to the faith, but to the aesthetic of their kindred spirits. As such, the tall and majestic young man came to mirror the look, going for a mix of traditional gothic aesthetic with the punk and grunge Oregon and the North-West are known for. Even his own ring gimmick is modeled after the preferred look: Lots of black, lots of plaid patterns and toque hats or cloaks and capes in the colder climates. Warmer climates see him in tank tops and ripped jeans with undone laces. Occasionally, for some sort of event or banquet, he'll dress up in one of a couple specially tailored outfits that are more reminiscent of a European Count or Baron than a boxer. In private, it's usually something much more casual; gym wear like a pair of sweat pants and t-shirts. |
Britney.Williams | |
---|---|
"Monster." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Irredeemable. Failed to see consequences of actions that led to future crises. Seeks forgiveness only because she cannot stand being disliked. Probably working an angle. Must be monitored. Do not trust. She will only make things worse. I respected you. You taught me so much. I fear that Iβm making the same mistakes. How could I be so stupid? |
Drake.Blackmore | |
βAlly." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Useful. Trusted. Dependable until recently, but blameless for change. Things feel different since Jadeβs death. Donβt understand whyβgrief is shared. Needs guidance, just donβt push too hard. More fragile than he seems. Reckless. Keep him close. Iβm sorry for how I treated you. At first I didnβt get what Jade saw in you. I get it now. Iβll keep you safe. |
AlizΓ©e.Altieri | |
"Puppet." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Suspicious. Volatile. Could be a victim, could be an accomplice. That apparition is dangerous. Should be sealed. Keep watch on. Might need handling. Last resort only. Owe her that. It was unfair how they treated you. You needed our help. I shouldβve spoken up. I worry that we made another enemy. |
Eksa.Thresh | |
βCraven." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Coward. False martyr. Not the only one to give the ultimate sacrifice. Shouldβve come back sooner. Waste of talent. Think drug pushing saves lives? Only here to save her own skin. Selfish. Unforgivable. Who isnβt? I thought we were friends. I shouldβve called. I was too afraid. Now youβre just another stranger. |
Linqian.Han | |
"Bitch." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Unstable. Unreliable. Says one thing, does the other. Self-centered quitter. Any wonder sheβs single? Learn to commit. Unlikable. Unimportant. It should have been her. Damn it, it should have been her. I donβt mean it. You know I donβt mean it. Iβm sorry. My efforts to impress him were at your expense. God, I didnβt even call when I found out he... |
Luca.Oliviera | |
"Victim." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Pitiable. Unfortunate. Donβt go easy on her. Why didnβt Ashley help? So many questions. Itβs like he doesnβt really want help. Itβs like he wants an excuse not to help. How bad can it be? Could want people to feel sorry for him. Disgusting, then. Truly rotten. I donβt know what you were going through. How could I, you never told me? How could I, I never asked? I owe you more apologies than Iβll ever know. |
Tayla.Choi | |
"Wretch." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Quitter. Junkie loser. She dishonors his memory. Too scared to seek help from those who could give it. Probably shouldnβt even be here. A liability. Dead weight. Iβm so sorry. I didnβt see how much pain you were in until it was too late. Iβm a horrible friend. I didnβt know how to help. I donβt think I really could. |
Finn.Reid | |
"Artifice." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Curious. Oddity. Not feeling like a human feels pretty human. Difficult to read. Difficult to believe. Spy for Sebastian? Nobody can hide forever. More danger than heβs worth. Being too harsh? Doesnβt deserve it. What do you want to hear? That Iβm afraid of you? That if someone as kind and caring as you is considered subhuman, I lose sleep over what they think I would be? |
"Edict".Devola | |
βCounterpart." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Bizarrely similar. Family first. A legacy of liars and thieves, apples stuck in the knotted roots. Crimes second. Wrongly kicked out. Innocent until proven guilty. Dead if true. Careers swapped. Heard heβs legit now. So he couldβve been fixed this whole time? I feel bad for you. Too busy abusing that Warm Little Center you never realized how many of us wanted to be around you for you. I doubt they would think the same of me. One way we differ, I guess. |
Kali.Mahendra | |
"Enigma." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Out of nowhere. A ghost. A mystery. Would he even know if he was the real deal? Vanished. Another runaway abandoning a city that needed him. So heβs a fed now? Hard to believe. Harder to trust. Makes everything muddy. I donβt think youβre the same person I knew. Actually, I donβt think I ever really knew you. Was that my fault? Should Iβve been more open? |
Simone.Le.Fay | |
"Soloist." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Above it all, yet strangely curious. Couldnβt get a conversation in with Britney without her being there. Her accomplice? Doubtful. Gone as soon as the going got rough, another fairweather friend. Quit her band almost as quickly. Good to see some traits were consistent. Of course sheβd come back now. Just like the rest. Iβll admit it now, I was intimidated by you. I saw one of your shows recentlyβleft before you noticed, I think. I can see why you want to perform, but it doesnβt change a thing. You shouldβve stayed. They wouldβve listened. |
Jack.Hawthorne | |
"Liar." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | The king of cowards. The worst of them all. Said they should protect St. Portwell then left their entire reality behind. For what? To hide under the blanket of shadows? Because of a whim? Ten years without a word. Suddenly heβs back. He could be useful, but whatβs stopping him from just leaving again? A couple more dead bodies? A close call? Iβm doing the thing you said we should do. Where were you? |
"Sully".McPherson | |
"Imbecile." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Enabler. Distracting dimwit. Thanks for the recruitment but heβd actually be forgiven if he retired. Defended the undefendable. The Chalice would be better in literally any other hands but his own. Whatever. Itβs not like heβs going to stick around this time either. Just leave the Chalice by the door. I canβt believe I gave it back to him, but Iβm glad I did. You and Auri could help me get a few of them back, but Iβm too embarrassed to let any of them know what happened. Iβll find another way. |
Everleigh.Thorn | |
"Traitor." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Unrecognizable. Left without a word. Unbelievable. Shows up working for Emily? Unforgivable. Just a different person now. Basically a stranger. Shouldnβt even be here. Abandoning the 8th now that she doesnβt feel safe? Good to see the disloyalty wasnβt personal but a personality flaw. Expressed radical ideas back in the day. Scary thoughts. Someone to watch. I donβt understand what happened. You were one of the few that could always make me smile. Whereβd Eve go? |
Britney.Williams | |
---|---|
"A strong herbal tea with just a splash of bourbon." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Look, I get itβeverybodyβs all aboard the fuck Britney Express these days. All my homies hate Britney. Well Iβm gonna go ahead, stand my ground, and date myself when I say, βLeave Britney alone!β Without Britney and her spooky knowledge Iβd be dead. If you didn't do the things you did to those people theyβd probably have been dead too. Think about it, without it they wouldnβt have any of those, uh, emo fields to protect the big snake dick from fucking with their brains. Sure, look, Iβll agree: the no consent part was way uncool, but it beats being dead. Britney, youβre part of the team, and even if you fumble every now and again know that I got your back. |
Drake.Blackmore | |
"Bro, you know itβs time for jagerbombs!" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Itβs like nothing ever changed. Your like a brother to me, but like in that way where youβre both old enough to realize that each of you is kind of a cool person and not in that way where one of you gives the other one a wedgie so bad it rips your underwear. Which, to be clear, is something that has never happened to me, shut up, weβre talking about you, Drake. Itβs so good to be around this guy. It feels like the best years of our life were frozen in place and comes unfrozen when weβre together. You were always so fun. Usually, anyway. Real, um, real damn shame about Jade. Look, bro, if you wanna track this fucker down and do some street justice Iβm one hundred percent behind you all the way. Youβre Michael Jordan, Iβm Tom Brady. I know they didnβt play together and it was totally different sports, but what Iβm trying to say is that weβre money. |
AlizΓ©e.Altieri | |
"A gin and tonic for the young lady with a fresh squeeze of lime. Huh? Oh yeah I totally put my heart and soul into this one ." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Okay, okay, okay, okay. Letβs just take a moment right now and lay down a couple of ground rules. As we already discussed earlier, ignoring consent is something olβ Sullybobs here isnβt gonna be cool with. AlizΓ©e, girl, like I get you got this Void thingy attached to you and it needs to feed on life energy or something butβ¦okay. Iβll admit. I donβt get it. I got a magical cup. Why donβt you just get a magical cup? Take that Void thing, stir it up real nice, find yourself a glass, and put it in that glass. Boom. Problem solved. At the very least if youβre gonna go about sucking strangers dry just dig through some forums and find the people looking for that kind of experience. Theyβre out there. Probably. I wouldnβt know. What I do know is that if you wanna play on this Coven, you gotta leave those normies alone. . |
Eksa.Thresh | |
βGuiness, obviously. Ow, ow, Iβm joking! Iβm joking. Some unpronounceable scotch with a splash of water to open it up, just the way grandpappy drank it." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Eska, I want you to know before I say anything else that I am trying my best. You know I respect you, you know, as a bi woman, as a black woman, as a Scottish woman, as a credit to her industry whateverβ¦whatever it is that you actually do there. Itβs all a bit too complicated for me. But Iβm sure you can explain it to me because you were always so kind and patient with my dumb American ass and I just gotta say how proud I was to share the field with someone as brave and as strong as you. If you ever need anything just give Sully here a call. Eska, darling I guess what Iβm trying to say is that I would always, always, always be there to give you a hand. Fuck, no, I didnβt mean it like that! Eska! I swear! That one wasnβt on purpose this time! |
Linqian.Han | |
"Hereβs my Bud Light buddy! Oh, right, youβre my Miller girl now. Sorry, Henikenen? Right yeah, fuck that shit, Pabst Blue Ribbon it is!" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Ayyyyy, alright, letβs go letβs go! I donβt care what the haters say, Linqian is one of the funnest gals in the Coven. I mean, she can absolutely go from zero to fuck you in no time flat. Some people say thatβs a bad thing, I say thatβs exciting. Keeps the dynamic fresh. You know, just try to keep the hair pulling and eye scratching to a minimum, it does kind of send a bad message to the new recruits. But they just donβt know you like I do. You know, get a couple drinks in and she just lets the fun social butterfly side out and everythingβs cool. So glad you made it back. Sorry, uh, sorry I didnβt make it to the funeral. Workβs been, you know, umβ¦anyway...how about a drink? |
Luca.Oliviera | |
"Lucaβs turn! Someone get the beer bong, my momβs gonna kill me if I ruin another varsity jacket. " _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | You know youβre fantastic, Luca. A positive attitude is the one thing I think that we can always use more of, and you got that shit in droves. Now I know that I kinda left you all high and dry after the battle with the Stygian Snake, but that doesnβt mean you canβt rely on Sully. If thereβs anything, anything, anything ever casting a dark cloud over that sunny disposition just let me know and weβll come up with a way to make it go away. Air hug, brother! By the way, do you know if Olivia is coming back? I figure youβd be the one to know. Sheβs a real sweetheart. |
Sloane.Faris | |
βNothing? Really?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Look, Sloane, I get it, you didnβt like how lightly I treated the situation but look, if you want Serious Sullivan you got Serious Sullivan right here: those people could not have done what they did if all they ever had was doom and gloom. Now, Iβm not saying we gotta sugarcoat things, but a little bit of levity helps way more than a whole shitton of evidence saying that weβre screwed. Now I appreciate what you did for us but you gotta stop pretending like being a cheerleader is a bad thing. People need light to get through the dark. Now cβmon on, put your hand in and give me a βGo team!β just this one time. I wonβt tell a soul. |

"Can I mix it with what? Um, yeah, next round. Right now you look like you need a water." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Tayla you were hands down one of the wildest partiers in the good old days. Like you always amplified that bitch up to eleven and, honestly, Iβm not gonna lie you even out partied me sometimes. Like, look, I donβt wanna get all afterschool special with you, but I heard about the shit you got into after I left and, I donβt know man, it just kind of broke my heart. You know obviously Iβm happy you ended up getting your shit together, but I really wish youβd talked to one of us about it. Weβre a family, you know. Me casa is our problems, or however it goes. Now you better bring that daughter around to meet Uncle Sully. You know Iβm great with kids! |
Finn.Reid | |
"Motor oil. Just kidding, I know you like gasoline. Oh cβmon Bella, itβs a joke. Weβre having fun! Bella! Bella cβmon!" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Look, Finn, buddy, I think I owe you a bit of an apology man. Back then I was under the impression that we were just playing around with all the robot jokes and the beep boops and, you know, I thought you were in on it. Having done a little growing and maturing of my own, I realize now that we may have taken things too far. Dude, I just want you to know that it doesnβt matter, youβre part of the team no matter what. So now that we buried that, I always wonderedβ¦you and Bella, like, you guys did right? Because Iβve seen some convincing documentaries on the internet about step siblings andβ¦ |
"Edict".Devola | |
βVodka tonic but itβs actually just soda water, right? Go ahead, buddy. Donβt worry. Itβs definitely not Everclear. " _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Oh, mister wise guy here! Mister smooth operator here! Gotta say, bro, it was a pretty confusing time of my life and having you stir around my emotions like it's a martini didnβt really help. Honestly, I just think youβre kind of a creep and while Iβll still acknowledge that you were a valuable member of a team you definitely still give vibes of being the weirdo that chooses to wear the mascot costume because it lets him hang out with the cheerleaders. And like we all know you did it so dude, just do yourself a favor and admit it. Itβs water under the bridge anyway, so stop pretending like youβre something youβre not. |
Kali.Mahendra | |
"What Greyson had? Okay man, but fair warning, itβs straight Everclear." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Kali, Kali, Kaliβ¦oh right, Kali. Yeah man, no I remembered you, of course I did, you were, uh, definitely there. Totally there. Hey look bud, I mean we can reminisce about all the good times we had together that I one hundred percent remember but really I wanna talk about you right now. Because youβre saying some stuff and doing some stuff that makes me think that maybe, right now, you just need someone to be a friend and listen to you. So, you know, if thereβs anything you need to get off your chest, Iβm your guy. Oh, yeah, cool, youβre with the FBI? Oh interesting. Okay, well, anyway, like I said, it was nice meeting you. . |
Simone.Le.Fay | |
"Alright, finally somebody is going to margaritaville. Frozen, I know. Soothes the throat." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Simone, you expanded my taste in music by like a thousand percent but I said it before and Iβll say it again, T-Pain has the best singing voice on this earth. Period. Donβt let the autotune blind you. Iβve seen footage, it is a fact! But if Iβm being honest, it kind of felt like it didnβt matter what I thought. Iβm not trying to start anything, like youβre entitled to your own opinion and allowed to do you own thing, but it felt like you never really wanted to be part of the group. Now I value what you did and I do think of you as family, but sometimes you gotta horse around with the others a bit to really build up that feeling of comradery. You know, crack a towel on someoneβs ass or smack someone in the ballsβmetaphorically speaking. You know what I mean? You know what I mean. |
Jack.Hawthorne | |
"A dark βnβ stormy? Dude, nobodyβs watching. You can drop the bit." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Look, Jackie Boy, I get it man. Magicβs real and all and thatβs totally awesome but you know whatβs also pretty powerful? Catching the rays of a beautiful sunshine, tossing a ball around with a couple of buddies, cracking open a few cold ones. What Iβm trying to say man is youβre too focused. You need to diversify. Iβmma break it to you right now, bro, because I think youβre one of those dudes who thinks jocks and nerds are different, but man, jocks and nerds are exactly the same: they hyperfocus on one thing and that alienates those around them. But thatβs important man. You cover one side, I got the other. Still, like, I donβt know man, letβs go for a hike, maybe do a little fishing, and you can tell me about whatever the hell this Theβ¦Thelβ¦The-Llama thing is? |
"Everleigh".Thorn | |
"Pick your poison. Arsenic? Ha ha, good one. No really, what do you want to drink?β βWhat do you mean itβd be like Jonestown?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Okay, Eve, this is getting a little too intense for my blood right now. Listen, I really dug the old peace, love, and understanding girl I used to party with. You always had some of the best bud. Honestly, I can even kinda gel with the whole fuck-the-man, fight-the-system style weβre working with these days but man, youβre kinda scaring the shit outta me right now. It feels like you drew a line and then just yeeted yourself a mile over it so like, what if maybe we were to redraw the line, stop it just short of complete and utter anarchy, maybe dial the extremism back down to just around βkinda passionateβ, and like, set that as the new standard. Like, letβs at least have the protest first before we go off and start a purge, okay? |
Britney.Williams | |
---|---|
"She ruined my life in ways sheβll never know." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Day 1 Writing down what I remember about the old coven members to try keep my sanity? What could go wrong. Iβll start with Britney. I bet everyone else thinks I hate Britney. I did, once. I was furious when she admitted to what sheβd done, and made sure she got kicked outβ¦ I couldnβt stand to be around her. But itβs fine now. Really. I donβt remember when my feelings cooled down, but it was a while ago. Maybe when I found out I was dying. Thereβs just no point in devoting so much energy towards her, yβknow? Actually, writing this is the last time Iβm going to think about her, cause honestly I donβt feel anything about her at all. (She did save me. But can it be considered saving me if Iβm barely able to live? Sometimes I wish she hadnβt.) How intelligent. I will decay her last, as thanks for setting me free. |
Drake.Blackmore | |
"I wish my abstraction let me make swords and shit." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Day 2 Drake. I looked up to Drake, but I was also jealous of him. Sorta. Itβs hard to explain! I wanted to be like him, I suppose. Athletic, coolβ¦ He reminds me a lot of the guys I used to play football with, when I could. I was jealous of them too. It's a gender thing, really. We barely talked, anyway, he left so early. Man, I really hope we can hang out this time around. Stupid. Iβm sure I can corrupt this one first. |
AlizΓ©e.Altieri | |
"Just because your apparition tells you to do something doesnβt mean you should." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Day 3. AlizΓ©e. Oh boy. I get it, I really do. Iβm adjoined to something shit tooβ¦ Well, at least I assume thatβs the case for her. Maybe she does it out of enjoyment. No way. Iβd rather believe itβs the apparition. It must suckβ¦ I wish I could help her, but I have enough problems myself! Not that I know where she is after ten years. Hopefully doing better. Itβs hard to like someone who hurts others. An aide. She will make it easier to destroy everything. |
Eksa.Thresh | |
"I need to talk to her." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Day 4. Eksa. Uh, this is a hard one. I never really met Eksa? Like, she disappeared when we defeated this Stygian Snake so I was only around her for a week or so. She seemed nice! If I remember her abstraction correctly, she might be able to help me. If she comes back I should talk to her. A threat. She will be the first to rot. |
Linqian.Han | |
"Phew, just must be exhausted finding problems in everything." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Day 4. Last one was short, so might as well write another one. Linqianβ¦ Another person I didnβt really talk to! I watched a lot of her arguments, though, wow. She couldβve done with stepping back a few times. Her brother seemed sound. Shame about himβ¦ Well, yeah. I wonder how sheβs doing. Maybe sheβll be a bit nicer this time round. I donβt think she even knew I existed, back then. Canβt blame her! Inane. An easy one to get rid of. |
Sloane.Faris | |
"I hope sheβs learned how to smile." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Day 5. Sloane. I have never seen someone smile so little! And itβs been ten years! Not that I get out muchβ¦ Last time we talked, like really talked, it wasnβt great. Understatement of the century, Luca. It was pretty shit. She did not approve of me wanting to get rid of the rot. Really didnβt hold back when telling me that either. Sheβs lucky Iβm such a nice guy! Anyway, I understood where she was coming from. Thereβd be more threats coming and all, so we should use our powers against them, or something. She didnβt know it was killing me! Nor did I, actually. It was just an inconvenience then. She really was a downer, though. Couldβve done with some positivity. Iβll try pass that on if I see her again. Interesting. Could be of use. |
Tayla.Choi | |
"She deserves peace, after what she went through." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Day 6. Tayla. I really didnβt know Tayla, but it mustβve been horrible going through what she did. I heard from Olivia that she was in a real bad place after, too. Man, she deserved better, she seemed so fun. Blind. She will decay with the rest of the world.. |
Finn.Reid | |
"The one guy I can get close to!" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Day 6. Finn. Uh, I donβt really get what he is. Wait, that sounds bad! I didnβt mean it like thatβ¦ But heβs not human? Or, not quite human? He sure acts human for someone who isnβt human. Ugh, this is hurting my head. Anyway! I heard he went travelling, that mustβve been nice. Iβd love to travelβ¦ Beside that, Finn was nice. Really nice. I hope heβs doing alright. Itβs funny how humans try to create a life like ours, only to fail. I will put an end to it. |
"Edict".Devola | |
"Was he really part of the mafia?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Day 7. Greyson. Gonna be controversial for all the people whoβll never read this, but I didnβt mind being around him. Even when he used his cozy centre thing on me. It was kind of nice. Not that I have many negative thoughts towards him, or at all, but it really helped get rid of the few I did have! Shouldβve thanked him for thatβ¦ Actually, I donβt think that wouldβve gone down well. If he comes back I hope he brings his moneyβ¦ Just joking! I wouldnβt make him buy me that new bed I really need, anyway. Useful. He will help me crack this body. |
Kali.Mahendra | |
"Eh, he never told me he was with the FBI." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Day 8. Kali! Oh man, Iβm so glad heβs around. Apart from Olivia heβs the only one Iβve kept in touch with. Wasnβt on purpose, we just met after the coven dissolved, but Iβm glad we did! Really, having that in person contact really saved me at times. From forgetting how to speak like a reasonable person, that is, not anything else haha. Iβm comfortable around him, and Iβm pretty sure heβs comfortable with me. Weβre friends. Yeah, shouldnβt be such a big deal at this age, but it's a real struggle for me. Hopefully he hasnβt figured out how bad my problem is. So blissfully unaware. This one will decay on his own. |
Simone.Le.Fay | |
"Her voice is amazing!" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Day 9. Simoneβ¦ I wish I couldβve seen her band live! I listen to her music, though, itβs good. We didnβt talk much, cause she was always with the smarter peopleβ¦ Thinking about it, maybe she can help me too. I didnβt even think about that before, damn. Sheβs got a sensible head on her shoulders, honestly Iβd like to know her better. Familiar. Perhaps I destroyed one of her ancestors. |
Jack.Hawthorne | |
"He needs a good nightβs sleep as much as I do." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Day 9. Jack. He straight up disappeared! Iβve heard about everyone else every now and then, thanks to Olivia really, but not him. I think he went into the voidβ¦ I didnβt know what it was then, but I do now. Canβt wait to hear all about it when he comes back. Assuming he comes back. He will be back! Dangerous. Must have seen so much destruction. |
"Sully".McPherson | |
"First thing I'm doing when I get rid of this thing is drinking with Sully!" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Day 10. Sully! Aw man, I miss Sully! He always knew how to lighten up the mood, we could talk about anything back in the day. I wonder how heβs doingβ¦ Havenβt heard from him, but I haven't heard from anyone. Hard to keep in touch when I keep destroying phones. He always threw the best parties. Well, I couldnβt really participate, but they seemed it. He really was a breath of fresh air when everyone else was so negative. Iβm looking forward to seeing him again. (I was jealous of him too, for a bit. I wish I could be part of their group. At least he treats me like one of the guys, mostly) Hindrance. The body is too happy around him. |
Everleigh.Thorn | |
"Iβm not surprised she changed so much after so long around Emily." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Day 11. Eve. She sure had some wild ideas when she left the coven. I know better than most the danger of magic. Itβs how you use it thatβs importantβ¦ Sure, I want rid of my own, but Iβm not exactly hurting people with it. Anyway. I saw her more recently than most coven members, cause she joined 8th as well. She was still there when I left. I think sheβs still with them? Last I heard she was, whichβ¦ Well, Iβm not gonna judge! Iβm sure she just wanted the company. I can understand that. Aside from the whole stealing thing, 8th was decent. So Iβm sure she is too, still. Irritation. The one attached to her is a nuisance. |
Britney.Williams | |
---|---|
"Haven't seen her in a hot minute." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Brit was an important part of our survival, yeah what she did was seriously fucked up. It went against everything I stand for, back then and even now. A part of me respects her, we wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for her and she was instrumental in the sealing of the Stygian Snake. Forcing things, magic onto people is a different story but I abstained from her vote out of the Coven. Lost touch after that, she's a smart girl I'm sure she is doing her best out there. Though, sometimes I wish things could of been different. |
Drake.Blackmore | |
"Truly, my little hero." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | I still fuck with Drake, I knew we fell out of touch but when I remember him in the Coven I just recall him being so head strong. I remember pulling his head out of the fire he'd jump into, saving his life while he got himself hurt or people killed. He was just a stupid kid back then, I'd be surprised if he recognizes me now. The old Everleigh is dead, but seeing that he's still the same guy he always was in reassuring. Not everyone you know changes in ten years. |
AlizΓ©e.Altieri | |
"A cancer, someone has to cut you out." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Attacking her with the group was the first encounter outside of the Snake with the para-norm, she's possessed. Hell I can't really hate her, it's not her fault. What she's adjoined with is pure evil, soul crushing and devouring. A Stygian Snake in a small little girl, I'm not too sure about the rumors about her. She was always one that could do without being Adjoined, maybe one day someone will release her of that dangerous burden. Hey man, don't look at me I'm not going to do it. |
Eksa.Thresh | |
"Didn't know she couldn't handle my smoke!" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Honestly who could forget the only Scottish lady of the group? I just remember her being so quiet, and gentle. She was a good friend but I don't see myself around those types of people anymore, they generally aren't able to survive some of the shit we go through. Yet, she's still here. Maybe with this Father Wolf fiasco, she'll come out of her shell. |
Linqian.Han | |
"Ice Queen." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Got to be careful now a-days, you never know which Linqian you'll run into. The one that wants to kill you or the one that wants to melt all over you, she's a girl that's all over the place. When she's focused she's deadly, I remember her being an Adept. If I ever want my noodles warmed up I know who to goto, seems even after ten years she's still a mean girl. I guess.. Someone has to be, right? |
Sloane.Faris | |
"Karen." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Karen Faris, if I wasn't here hunting down a serial killer. I'd be punching her stupid face in and laughing, unfortunately for her my fingers don't malfunction on the drop of a 'lux. If you had to ask me who I hated the most here, it would be her. She rubs me the wrong way, nails on a chalkboard. Everyone falls, and when she does it'll be hard. Like a steel toe boot to the side of her head. |
Tayla.Choi | |
"Shit is tragic, dude." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | I kinda don't wanna talk about her dude... Shit is sad, I have a soft heart for junkies y'know. It's not her fault, I'm glad she's better. Drugs are terrible. |
Finn.Reid | |
"Mr. Support" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Finn is the best, people might hate on him for being shy or an outcast, loser..- Yeah, fuck whatever these guys called him. He was the best, always boosting me and making me feel strong as fuck. That was a high, maybe that's why I latched onto him so quickly. Just some ten year old reflex I've had, I missed him. I feel like me 'n him have a lot in common, though we're spoken for a lot non-verbally. My broken nose and all.. |
"Edict".Devola | |
"Devola." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | I don't fuck with Devola. Guy stole from me, full stop. Until he pays me back or gives me back my stuff I don't really wanna fuck with him. No I'm not going to tell you what he stole. Besides, he's slimey. Always like a used-car salesman, trying to sell you on his next scheme. We all know what he reeeeeeeallly wants to do with that little warm centre of his, c'mon. |
Kali.Mahendra | |
"Off, seriously fucking off." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | He's not a cop, he's not a cop, he's not a cop. So what is he? He doesn't fit the bill of a P.I. is this really the old Kali? Is this someone just fitting in the bill of a long lost, perhaps dead friend? Something is setting off my alarm bells here, fuck Drake Blackmore is more of a cop than this guy! What's his play? |
Simone.Le.Fay | |
"Leech." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | I just remember her sucking up, always leeching onto people for information. She wanted to grow stronger, y'know become the best. That was concerning, maybe not but back then I didn't care or give a shit. The most dangerous peeps you can come across as the ones who look like they have nothing wrong with them, maybe I'm just paranoid. |
Jack.Hawthorne | |
"From the void and back." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Wish I could say I knew him, dude was always void walking. Vanished from the Coven like a drop of a hat, more a stranger really. I'll see how he plays ball here. |
"Sully".McPherson | |
"My Healer." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | The chalice is the best thing that could of happened to me, I mean us. I forgot who the healer was to be honest, I knew there was one kicking around. Sully was always a great guy, heart of gold. Give you his shirt off his back, and the chest hair that came along with it. A guy who'd probably let you cuddle, but that's pushing it. Really my rock, in a hard plce. |
Luca.Oliviera | |
"The roooooooooooooooooooottttttttttt...." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | I heard about it, shit I'd seen in. The rot, it sucks. Wouldn't wish it on.. Well, fuck Karen can rot. Can't remember can I hug Luca? Will I rot 'n die, I don't know. Bleeding heart, we need more Lucas. Less rot 'tho. |
WEAKNESSES β«» Being an Apparition created by the belief of Werewolves, Lady Lelou's abstraction makes Leon susceptible to all the standard werewolf weaknesses. The primary weakness of Leon is silver, as the mere touch of the substance (whether or not it's a silver blade or silver fork) will cause severe burns that will heal very slowly - not even healers will be able to help him. If he's exposed to Wolfsbane, it will also cause the same effect - but it's highly toxic if ingested. Fire-based attacks are also extra-effective against him, and Leon instinctively fears fire - even a candle will cause him to be unnerved. However, whoever is Leon's "Handler" will have full control of him.
Bianca.Manalo | |
---|---|
27 | Bianca βBeaβ Reyna Manalo | She/Her "We all made mistakes in the past. What matters is that we donβt repeat them." | Description: Linqianβs ex partner, Bianca (generally going by Bea) is a second generation filipino-american born and raised in St. Portwell, with parents working in the fishing industry. She joined the Sycamore Tree coven after undergoing her kindling event during an attack by the Stygian Snake. She was bold and spirited as a teenager, but also incredibly reckless. Bea was friendly with almost everyone in the coven, a people person, and always down for fun. She made light of the danger, and as a result was badly injured during the final fight against it. She only pulled through thanks to Jadeβs healing. This made her mature, and rethink things - including her relationship. Beaβs still bright and confident, but much less reckless than she was as a teenager - and much more empathic. After the coven dissolved she moved on, going to college for a degree in forensic science while continuing to work in her magic. Once she graduated she joined the FBI, moving between departments until she ended up where she is now. Because of work, she declined going back to the coven when Auri asked. Abstraction: Adept - Orange Lux. Channeler: A blue nautical rope bracelet Bea is primarily focused on abstraction enhancement. She can boost one nearby person's abstraction at a time. Strength: Beaβs most basic spell, the ability to boost the strength of someone elseβs paranormal ability. For example, elemental abstractions will be more powerful and deal more damage and a healing abstraction would heal better and faster. Duration: A spell that allows the target to use their abstraction for longer than normal, rather than boosting the actual strength of it. Distance: A spell that increases the range of another personβs abstraction. This can be as simple as making the ranger longer, but could also enhance a single line abstraction to affecting a radius or make a close range abstraction long range. Bea chooses the effect when she casts the spell. Penetrate: Aptly name by her ex-partner, this spell specifically enhances abstractions ability to penetrate emotional fields. It only works for abstractions that would be affected by emotional fields. Multi Target Enhancement: This allows Bea to boost the abstractions of four people near her. This is a much weaker version of her strength enhancement, as the boosting is essentially split in four. This is the spell she's been working on the most recently. She can only use it with strength enhancement currently. |

[Cooking] β«» She learned it all from her grandmother.
[Underworld Connections] β«» Lyss understands how the shady side of the world works. She has friends there, and they know people who know certain things that helped her in her career.
[Weaponry and Combat] β«» Even with the ability to summon her own personal army, Lyss has learned that it's a good idea to defend herself without it. She carries a pistol with her, and also a lucky metal bat. She prefers to use the bat first.Appearance
βββββββββββββ
"Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick, and get your shit together."Lyss has a sort of unblemished, untouched look to her beauty. Her fair skin is smooth and unscarred. Her most striking feature would be her eyes. They're a green flecked hazel, and they seem to peer through to the soul of anyone she meets. She wears smokey eyeshadow to highlight them. Besides the eyeshadow, Lyss prefers not to wear any other makeup except for her staple lip colors; these colors remain between dark red and mauve. She is rarely seen without any makeup, as it has become a part of her and not just an accessory.
Her dark brown hair falls to her middle back. Since she was born, it has always been a sleek, smooth, and shiny straight style. She rarely does anything with it, except to push it back from her face.
Her height comes from her long legs, and her figure curves at the right places in an hourglass shape. She stands tall and at ease, as if she is unfazed by most things. This is all a ruse, of course. Underneath her clothes lie toned muscles ready to take action at any moment.
When it comes to clothing, Lyss rarely steps out of her general style. Her wardrobe consists of dark colors like black, brown, maroon, or navy. Her jeans are usually a dark washed denim or black. She is not shy to show skin, but she always balances out a tank top with her favorite dark brown leather jacket over top. In regards to shoes, Lyss prefers boots or slip on sneakers to anything with heels.
ββββββββ
"Life isn't black and white. It's a million grey areas, and I'm trying to find my way through them."MAIN GOAL β«» To carry on her family's name. To survive this messed up world. She wishes to faithfully serve The Hound, and to continue her work until it is her time.
PHILOSOPHY β«» Lyss understands that there is a balance to life and death better than anyone. All things deserve a chance to live their life to the fullest and meet death when they are due. Those that decide to spit on The Hound's role by ending those lives too soon should be stopped.
SECRETS β«» Lyss still feels a sense of guilt that so many of her coven were harmed during the battle against the Stygian Snake, as if she could have done more to prevent it. Her one redeeming act is that she was a part of saving Eska from the rubble. After all this time, she feels like it's not worth mentioning.
In the time between the coven's dissolution and their reunion, Lyss had been working in the black market.
Lyss carries a journal containing the Burns spell casting history, taken from her family home after her grandmother's dead. Within it contains simple, well known spells, but also many rare and potentially dangerous ones as well.
SEXUALITY β«» On the off chance Lyss ever makes a move, it's on a man that can handle her.
FEARS β«» Failure. Heights. Pretty typical stuff. She does not fear death.
REPUTATION IN OLD COVEN β«» Lyss had no enemies within the Coven, at least not any that she knew of. She may not have given 100% of her efforts at Coven meetings, but she certainly gave everything she had into their battles. When the coven began to dissolve, Lyss felt as if she was losing another family. So she left before the goodbyes began.
ROLE IN THE BATTLE AGAINST THE STYGIAN SNAKE β«» Lyss's abstraction was an aid against the Stygian Snake. Even so, she could only stand at the sidelines and let her undead to the work for her. Joined by the other necromancers, her undead served as a barrier between many of the Stygian Snake's attacks and her fellow members. They also took on the Snake's monsters directly. She pushed herself to her limits and beyond that day, and fell into a few days long coma. She was never aware that they sealed the Stygian Snake into the Sycamore Tree because of this. By the time she awakened, the coven had already erased their memories and were beginning to fall apart.
FLAWS β«» Over the years, Lyss has grown to be quite blunt with her words. She's forgotten the meaning of "white lies" and prefers to keep her words and actions as obvious as possible. She'll let you know when you're wrong. She can also be stubborn once she's made up her mind, and more often than not ends up working alone to satisfying her own goals.
Backstory
βββββββββββββ
"I owe it all to my grandmother."The Burns family name carries meaning. Whether that meaning is looked upon in a good or bad way, the Burn family didn't care. Her mother worked with apparitions and spirits, while her father practiced necromancy like her grandfather. Because of their careers, her parents traveled often. Alyssa was raised by her grandmother, a strong woman who had once been a legend in the Burns family books.
After her grandfather passed, Alyssa's father became absorbed by his work. He soon lost his life to his passion. Alyssa's mother and grandmother weren't sure it it was by his own hands, or by those who opposed his work. At six years old, Alyssa wasn't mature enough to feel the weight of grief. Yes, she missed him, but she didn't know why her mother cried all of the time. Or why her mother left her without a goodbye.
Once Alyssa turned 13, her grandmother handed down the family ring. The same ring that had thrown her family into misery. She was apprehensive at first, but her grandmother insisted that she carry on their family tradition. Her grandmother opened up to her, explaining family secrets, stories, and anything Alyssa could think to ask her. Her training commenced and the two soon discovered Alyssa's affinity for necromancy. Alyssa secretly vowed not to follow in her father's footsteps.
Years later, Lyss was well on her way to mastering her abstraction. The news of the Stygian Snake's appearance reached the Burns house quickly. Lyss's grandmother, a generally stoic and brave woman, shook as she heard the news. The Snake's attacks grew more frequent, and it seemed like more and more lux users were falling to it's teeth. Her grandmother secretly planned their escape, while Lyss began to look for others in the city that were willing to fight. It was when her grandmother perished in an attack on the Burns home that Lyss fully threw herself into defeating it.
She was introduced to the Coven shortly after by Sully McPherson, whom she heard through sources had been recruiting people into a group of other lux users. While she didn't put much effort into socializing in the soon to be coven, Lyss threw herself into working against the Snake. Once the Snake had been defeated, Lyss stayed with the coven because it was all she had. Still, even the coven began to fray at the edges. While she wanted to stay and fight it too, she ultimately made the decision to leave St. Portwell and never look back.
She found a way to get by in a new city, with a sort-of good enough family to fill the void. She hardly thought about St. Portwell in years, until she received a text from an old friend...

ABSTRACTION β«» Lyss is a Black Lux user with an affinity for necromancy. She understands apparition sealing and warding, but she has never fully completed her training. Her channeler is a ring passed down by her ancestors and given to her by her grandmother.
ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION β«» Lyss's necromancy allows her to perform acts such as:Reanimation β«» Lyss is able to summon the dead to do her bidding by projecting her emotional-field into the ground below her. Her emotional-field then fills the body with energy, enabling it to be controlled. This acts as an extension of her body, with the ability to see through their eyes and hear through their ears. She is unable to feel or smell through them, fortunately enough. If one perishes, she can only feel the loss of her connection to them.
In addition to summoning human bodies, Lyss is able to summon the bodies of dead animals. These animals can be small enough to act as surveillance or large enough to take down enemies.The Hound's Blessing β«» With permission from The Hound himself, Lyss has the ability to summon underworldly beings such as golems and hellhounds.
Golems are constructed using the flesh of the dead. They are usually humanoid, resembling giants, or monstrous if the flesh of an animal has been used. These creatures are bound together into a macabre horror standing up to eight feet tall and weighing about 500 pounds.
Hellhounds are ferocious, terrifying entities that serve The Hound himself. To those able to see magic, they manifest as large, demonic pitbull-like canines, with red eyes and a black-aura around them, making hellhounds appear to be made of shadows. They cannot be killed by conventional methods, yet they will sustain damage from these attacks. The only way to truly kill them is with magic. Along with the invulnerability to human weapons, hellhounds can track any human or apparition once they have the scent of their emotional-field and possess the strength and speed of twenty live canines.Spirit Summoning β«» Lyss is able to summon the spirits of the dead to communicate with them. She does this by using her emotional-field to seek out the traces of soul left in the body, and search for it in the afterlife. Once they have been summoned, Lyss only has to get them to talk. That is, if they agree to speak to her.
LIMITS β«»Reanimation β«» Lyss is only able to summon up to 100 undead at one time without weakening herself. This includes humans and animals. If she pushes past this limit she is at risk of a coma.The Hound's Blessing β«» Creatures like golems and hellhounds require more energy and focus to summon. If she choses to summon only golems, she can only summon ten at a time. If she choses only hellhounds, she is only able to summon six. When she summons hellhounds, she must remain in complete control of them or else they will run rampant. They answer to her commands alone, and she must remain confident in her commands or she risks losing control of them. This makes them an extreme risk, and Lyss only summons all six if she is in a desparate situation.Spirit Summoning β«» Lyss is only able to summon spirits if she is close to the original body. She is only able to communicate with one at a time, and the longer she keeps their spirit above ground the weaker she becomes. Should the spirit choose to be stubborn with their information, Lyss's frustration may cause her to lose focus, therefore losing her focus on the cast. Additionally, if the soul has become an adjoined apparition, Lyss is unable to summon them due to their attachment to a living soul.

Drake.Blackmore | |
---|---|
"Out of all my old Coven members, he's the one who worries me the most." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Drake was always at the center of attention which is exactly where I didn't want to be. I kept my distance, just like I did with most of the other members of the Coven. However, I wasn't oblivious to the the way he looked at me. His actions during the battle of the Snake were the hammer in the nail of my lowly opinion of him. He was a reckless boy who was desperately trying to be some type of hero and that desperation led to a lot of issues within the Coven. I didn't keep up with Drake after we both left, and seeing him again is bringing up old feelings of distrust. |
Britney.Williams | |
"Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Considering I kept most of the other Coven members at bay, my relationship with Britney could have been considered close by my measurements. Britney's knowledge of the Paranormal made me gravitate toward her, sucking up her brilliance like a sponge. I also genuinely just got along with her on a friendship level, that is, until the revelations came out about her and what she did to defeat the Snake. I didn't keep up with her after leaving the Coven and am anxious for when the time comes for us to see each other again. |
AlizΓ©e.Altieri | |
"Someone needs to handle her." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Alizee is a walking liability. She has minimal control over her Apparition and her night-stalking habits were detrimental for the Coven while she was in it. Why Auri even invited her back is a mystery to me. Her actions are only going to draw negative attention when we try to defeat Father Wolf. At this rate, regardless of Alizee, I'm not sure we'll ever get there. |
Eksa.Thresh | |
"Smart and helpful. I hopes she speaks up more." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | I wasn't close with Eksa, but we did hang out every once in a while. She was smart - maybe even the smartest in the group common-sense wise. That's probably why I felt like she put up a wall with me, rightfully so. Not unfriendly, but obviously not trusting of me. I wouldn't mind working with her. She seems like she has a good head on her shoulders. |
Luca.Oliviera | |
"A walking reminder." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Luca is probably the one I know the least about out of all the members of our old Coven, only because he joined so late. I know he was helpful enough during the battle. I'm waiting to learn more before I formulate a real opinion. One thing is for certain, I feel horrible for what Britney did to him and as long as he's sick it will always be a reminder to me that I can't trust Britney like I used to. |
Sloane.Faris | |
"Someone's got to set the standards around here." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | I admire her smarts and ambition, but she's really gotta work on her people skills. Even after all this time, I remember she wanted to lead the Coven. To be honest, I don't think she would have been a bad candidate if she could've got her act together. She sort of intimidates me for that reason - because if somehow she did get it together, she would be a force to be reckoned with. |
Tayla.Choi | |
"Is she okay?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | I didn't stay around Tayla much, only because she was good at getting herself into trouble. Didn't keep up with her after leaving the Coven either, and I was pretty shocked to see how different she looked when I saw her for the first time. It's obvious she went through something, but I wonder what it was? |
Finn.Reid | |
"What an interesting creature." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Personally, I don't know him well, but I quietly studied him because of his mysterious nature. It was kind of my thing, being friends with the weirdos of the group. Couldn't say we were really friends, though, but I tried to make him feel included, just like one of the others. I learned a great deal about Abominables from him. |
"Edict".Devola | |
"Stay far, far away." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | The only thing I think about when it comes to Greyson is how far away can I get from him? His abilities are impressive to say the least, but dangerous in a way I couldn't afford to get caught up in. I've seen the way people attach to him like a drug, and I've heard of the seedy business he's been engaged in since the Coven disbanded. I want nothing to do with it, but I'll be cordial for the sake of the Coven. |
Kali.Mahendra | |
"I wonder if he still remembers our song..." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | I don't even know where to begin. Kali has changed so much since the last time I saw him. Something snapped, and I don't know what really happened. We were friends back then, the quiet kids. The one I could go to when I just wanted some peace and quiet. That's gone now. Every so often the memory of me saving his life at the battle replays in my nightmares. I just can't seem to forget. |
Linqian.Han | |
"Every time I look at her I see his face." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | It's obvious that Linqian doesn't like me, but I don't really know why. I never did anything to her, but... there are several things I did with her brother. That probably had something to do with it, but none of that matters anymore. He's gone now, and I hope whatever negative feelings she has toward me died in the grave with Jinhai. |
Jack.Hawthorne | |
"Glad to see he's alive." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Jack and I made a good team. We bonded over our love of magic, and were often each other's guinea pigs when practicing new spells. We tracked the Snake, Jack through the netherworld, and I through our current realm. That only lasted for a short while, because then he disappeared. I didn't even know he was still alive until he popped out of one of his portals into Auri's flower shop. I'm curious to know what he's been up to. |
"Sully".McPherson | |
"I missed his kind soul." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Sully was always there for me when I needed him, but especially when I first joined the Coven. I feel a sense of comfort with him that I don't with the others. I wasn't much of a beer drinker back then, but he always had my favorite green tea on deck. I didn't keep up with him after I left, but part of me wishes I did. He's a good guy. |
Everleigh.Thorn | |
"I don't know what happened to her, but she doesn't belong here anymore." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | I never really liked her, but seeing her now makes me like her even less. She's unpredictable, and that scares me. She's another liability. Maybe the rotten ones will naturally weed themselves out of the group. I might find a way to speed up that process if she continues to be an issue. |
