From client-facing, to call center work and more, Evelynn has developed a natural rapport with people. People often remark that their customer service voice is much more soothing and less agitating than her normal voice. [b][Lover of puzzles] ⫻[/b] From her earliest memories, Evelynn has always loved a challenge and more so loved puzzles. Whether a puzzle board or a complex problem, Evelynn finds joy in working it out. She can often be found playing these kind of games on her phone to pass the time. [b][Alcoholic Bloodline] ⫻[/b] Thanks to her family, and for her practice, Evelynn can handle her alcohol quite well. While she has yet to go bottle for bottle with her grandma, she knows it is only a matter of time before she develops a stronger liver. [b][Strong cup of joe] ⫻[/b] Every morning Evelynn makes a cup of coffee and those who stay over remark that it is one strong cup of joe. [b][Unlucky in love] ⫻[/b] Evelynn has no success in her love life yet this has always been for the best. She has a habit of falling in love with the first man who shows her interest. The longest relationship she has been in has been for only three months. After the breakup, it seems everyone reveals their red flags, and she realizes she has dodged a bullet.[/sub][/hider] [/cell][cell][sub][b] Appearance[/b][/sub] [sub][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/sub] [i]"You're not very pretty, and you're not very bright."[/i] [indent]Evelynn is a woman whose appearance is a mesmerizing blend of uniqueness and elegance. She rocks light brown hair with straight bangs that frame her face, giving off a touch of sophistication. Her hair is often pulled back into a practical ponytail, showcasing her ability to balance style with practicality. Her green eyes, like shards of emerald, carry a spark of intelligence and a hint of mischief. Evelynn's makeup is an artful expression of her creativity. She spends entirely too much time on her eyeliner as it enhances the captivating allure of her gaze. A dash of dark lipstick adds that rebellious touch. She is pierced, and each one tells a different story of herself. A small silver hoop in her left nostril and an industrial bar piercing in her right ear contribute to her rough and tough look. She got these after she left the coven and ventured far to truly find herself. This act of defiance against what was her ordinary life set the stage for what was to come. Tattoos, and many of them. Both of her arms served as a canvas for her friend's imagination. She has various small tattoos that do not look professionally done, yet she loves them all the same. The cat on top of the yarn, the dog chasing its tail, and all the various characters from her favorite movies and TV shows all blend to form the sleeve on her left arm. Her right arm shows a level of detail and refinement that contrasts with the other. A deer with a crown of roses, an owl that sits on the branch of a sycamore tree, and a snake that wraps around her arm, overlapping itself. The lines on this arm are crisp, the colors clean, and the cost too high to count. Her fashion is a bit basic. Sweaters and cropped hoodies overtop high-waisted jeans, or a crop top shirt overtop high-waisted shorts. Either way, she always fills out her outfits with an odd assortment of jewelry and Doc Martin boots.

She wants to unearth a sense of purpose, a calling that resonates deeply with the core of their being. This quest for purpose hasn't been a fleeting endeavor; it's been painful, marked by introspection and self-discovery. Hours have been devoted to unraveling the intricate layers of their interests and talents, each step a deliberate one toward the elusive goal of finding not just a job, but a vocation that aligns with her preconceived idea of what she wants to do. Evelynn wants nothing more than for the day to arrive when her job will cease to be answering phones and answering questions, instead, it will be a place where she can plant roots and grow professionally. Beyond the realm of career pursuits, there's a second facet to Evelynn's hopes—the pursuit of love. Their journey in matters of the heart has been fraught with missteps and heartaches. Yet, amidst the echoes of past disappointments, Evelynn remains steadfast in the desire to find a genuine and enduring love. [b]PHILOSOPHY ⫻[/b] Evelynn's philosophy centers around the belief that life is a kaleidoscope of experiences, both challenging and beautiful. Every experience is meant to be embraced and learned from. They see purpose as a journey rather than a destination, and that one can make a lot of progress as long as one has a continuous desire for self-discovery and adaptation. The core tenets of Evelynn's philosophy are resilience, authenticity, and an unyielding optimism that tomorrow holds the promise of growth, connection, and a new day for new experiences. [b]SECRETS ⫻[/b] The true extent of her alcoholism. She knows better than to allow someone to witness the amount she drinks, and she does well to hide the hangovers as well. Some have begun to talk to her about her rampant drinking but even they are kept out of the loop. She was right about a few different things during the fight, but thought that it was a false future. It came true and people were hurt, killed, and it was all her fault. [b]SEXUALITY ⫻[/b] Bisexual/heteroromantic. Evelynn has a deep love for both men and women, yet she feels like she can only form romantic feelings for men. [b]FEARS ⫻[/b] Evelynn's family is marred by early deaths and unfulfilled purposes. She fears that one day she will find herself at death's door, no closer to knowing who she is and nowhere near understanding the true power of her purpose. That she will be alone, with no one to help her through those final difficult moments. [b]REPUTATION IN OLD COVEN ⫻[/b] Evelynn was well-liked in the old coven. She was friendly, accountable, and always there for those who needed help. While she was not around them as much as she would have liked, she was often pulled away when tragedy inevitably struck, she still made the moments she was there count and held most of the members in high regard. She did not know it at the time but there were a few members who were skeptical of her and her demeanour. Her power enabled her to see a possible future, what if she was using it to keep on everyone's good side? As such, as a whole, she would have been well-liked, but not trusted. [b]ROLE IN THE BATTLE AGAINST THE STYGIAN SNAKE ⫻[/b] Evelynn was a supporting party in the battle. She used her gifts to try and guide the covens' strikes, as well as see if their attacks would work. Her abilities were hampered during the battle by the sheer number of eventualities she tried to decipher. As such, some were hurt when she gave the wrong information to the wrong person. [b]FLAWS ⫻[/b] Indecisiveness: Evelynn tends to struggle with making decisions, especially when faced with significant choices related to her career or personal life Perfectionism: In her pursuit of purpose and love, Evelynn often sets exceedingly high standards for herself, leading to frustration and self-criticism when things don't go as planned. Overthinking: She tends to overanalyze situations, creating unnecessary stress and sometimes hindering her ability to take spontaneous or intuitive actions. Difficulty Trusting Others: The scars from previous negative experiences in relationships have left Evelynn with difficulty trusting new people, making it challenging for her to fully open up and connect on a deeper level. [/INDENT] [sub][b] Backstory[/b][/sub] [sub][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/sub] [i]"If I have to go to another funeral this year I swear..."[/i] [indent]In the quiet shadows of St. Portwell, nestled within the mist-laden landscapes of Oregon, Evelynn Ann Serenelight's story unfolded against a backdrop of perpetual gloom. The town stood as a silent witness to the cyclical tragedy that befell the Serenelight lineage. Born into a family marked by the curse of premature death, Evelynn's childhood in St. Portwell bore the weight of sorrow brought on by her constant presence at the funeral home. She lost three uncles, one aunt, three siblings, and both her parents all before her twenty-first birthday. None by natural means. Her father and mother died together in a car accident. From the report, it was suggested that her father was distracted by something while behind the wheel, causing him to drive off the road and into a pole. The same fate would befall two of her siblings, while the third drowned. Before all that death Evelynn was involved with the Sycamore Tree Coven, and it was here that much of Evelynn's drive to better herself and better her future came from. She was in class when the apparitions started their attack. She, however, handled the attack better than the others thanks to her gift. Her gift had manifested a few days prior, and at first, she thought she had gone mad. Slowly, she trusted her gut and began to explore her gift at every possible moment. She used her gift to test if a path was safe and helped shepherd others to safety. She spent the rest of the event running from moment to moment, spending more time watching possible futures than in the present, and used her gifts to the best of her ability to help others survive. Sadly, she was not as good as the group needed her to be. After the fallout of the event settled, and the coven disbanded, Evelynn knew she had to go far away from this whole mess. She attended college in town with the goal of graduating and moving far from this place with her girlfriend. This became a fleeting escape from the shadow cast by her experiences in the coven. Every moment of peace and happiness would be plagued by the 'what if it happens again' or the 'what if the snake manages to break free' thoughts. She would end up spending a lot of time in therapy, choosing the right words to get the point across without revealing what had happened, and ended up getting some help with the dread she faced. In college she had a lot of trouble finding a path that suited her unique skillset, as well she found it hard to find one that would truly bring her joy and happiness. As such, her grades were never perfect as she often second-guessed her own decisions. She had a long-held desire to be a graphic designer. She was always a beacon of creativity, after all, yet it was as if everything she created was nothing more than strokes on a canvas that was veiled with a perpetual filter of ick. While the past decade seemed to fly by, Evelynn always kept an eye on her future and one on her past. She wants to avoid any unforeseen disaster that could take her out like the rest of her father's family, and she wants to remember and always be ready in case the sins of the past break free. When news reached her ears about the deaths of coven members, Evelynn dwelled on what to do. Eventually, she elected to return home. Home to face the curse of her family, and home to ensure that the world remained safe forever more. [/indent] [sub][b] Abstraction[/b][/sub] [sub][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/sub] [i]"If you take three steps that way you will either run into a monster or be safe."[/i] [indent][b]TYPE ⫻[/b] (Afflicted Aberration) [b]ABSTRACTION ⫻[/b] Foresight - Evelynn can pull on her curse to see the possible futures ahead of her. [b]ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻[/b] Evelynn's story begins with her ancestors. It is told that her great-great Grandfather crossed a witch out in the woods, he had come to seek the power to see the path to a prosperous future, and when he did not pay what was due the witch placed a curse on the man and his bloodline. This curse allowed them to see a possible future, yet it caused many to get lost in it which caused their early death. It was as if the power itself manifested at the worst possible time for the rest of her family. There was never any proof, mind you, and Evelynn was happy to chalk it up to a family story that was nothing more than a story. Yet, as she grew, she watched as anyone born on her father's side of the family died younger than they should have, often in accidents that could have been avoided had they been more present. This curse has seemingly grown stronger as the generations have passed. And the events of the battle with the snake added fuel to that fire. This has resulted in Evelynn's unique gift. She has the gift of foresight, the ability to see possible outcomes for any action she wishes. Whether that is walking alone down the dark, dusty road at night or as simple as what lunch she picks to eat, Evelynn can project what may happen before it happens. She does not move, does not react, and to the outside world she looks like her eyes glaze over and she is in a trance. She can also project the possible eventualities out into the world, visible for all to see. The further she projects into a possible future the longer she has to remain idle. At the end of the day, these possible futures require an interpretation. Sometimes the projections are clear, but often they are not. Evelynn will either have to spend more time, and project more possibilities, or try and interpret from just one. [b]LIMITS ⫻[/b] Her gifts never show what will happen, only what could. Thus, if she does not spend some time trying to bolster her prediction with more possibilities, she will often be wrong. As well, spending more time and energy on these predictions causes her to lose focus on the present around her. [b]WEAKNESSES ⫻[/b] The gift of Foresight also comes with the curse of misfortune. Wherever she goes, a subtle telekinetic ability acts to make misfortune happen to her. Whether it's dropping something she's carrying into the water, things falling on her, or... an attack that would have otherwise missed hitting her.

Lila rocks short, texturized hair that exudes an edgy charm, a testament to her fearless approach to self-expression. She sports an eclectic wardrobe, often opting for crop tops that flaunt her midriff, paired with flannel pants that rest tight against her hips. Lila adorns her hips with chains that jingle and dance as she moves. She proudly wears a variety of expensive-looking rings on her fingers, each telling a unique story that she does not know. These are the gifts her flock has given her over the years, and she treasures each one more than anything anyone has given her. In embracing her natural beauty, Lila chooses not to conform to conventional beauty standards and she confidently goes makeup-free, allowing her visible acne scars to shine as badges of resilience and self-love. Lila's authenticity and openness about her journey contribute to the magnetic energy she exudes. Lila proudly wears a distinctive tattoo that adds an extra layer of uniqueness to her already bold persona. Inked on her left forearm is a stylized crow, each feather on the wings are colored with the colors of the LGBTQ+ pride flag. The tattoo serves as a powerful symbol of Lila's own trans journey, resilience, and her connection to her queer community. When asked about the tattoo, Lila often shares stories of the people she has met, the challenges she has overcome, and the triumphs of her identity. It's not just body art for her; it's a narrative of her life etched into her skin, a testament to her strength, individuality, and the vibrant community she proudly represents. [/indent] [/cell][/row][/table][sub][b] Psychology[/b][/sub] [sub][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/sub] [i]"Listen, all this stress is leading somewhere."[/i] [INDENT][b]MAIN GOAL ⫻[/b] Lila's main goal in life is to create a safe and inclusive space for LGBTQ+ youth to express themselves freely and find support in St. Portwell. Motivated by her own journey and the challenges she faced while navigating her identity, Lila is driven to make a positive impact on the lives of young individuals who may be going through similar experiences. Her experiences with the Stygian Snake made her realize that life was already too short, and that helped push her toward acceptance of her own identity as well as push her towards wanting to be an advocate for the generations that follow. [b]PHILOSOPHY ⫻[/b] Lila's philosophy revolves around the principles of authenticity, acceptance, and empowerment. At the core of her beliefs is the idea that everyone deserves the space and freedom to be their true selves without fear of judgment or discrimination. [b]SECRETS ⫻[/b] Since she started her transition young, she has lived life stealthily and the outside world is never the wiser. While her friends, and the coven, know her trans identity most strangers on the street would never know. She has a secret talent that she fears would lead to snide comments and questions that ask her why she does it. Lila likes to make origami birds. She often travels around town and leaves them behind books at the library, behind food in the grocery store, and in places, where people would never expect to see an origami bird. Despite her outward confidence, Lila grapples with her insecurities and fears. She carries the weight of the battle with the snake even to this day, despite telling everyone that she has recovered enough from that headspace. She is always on the lookout for signs of the snake's return, as well as monitors the town and the forest around for other dangers that could threaten the world. [b]SEXUALITY ⫻[/b] Queer. Lila has always had a deep love for women, and feminine presenting people. [b]FEARS ⫻[/b] Lila's strong sense of community and her commitment to creating inclusive spaces stem from a deep-seated fear of isolation. Lila has a deep fear of anything bugs. This stemmed from an early childhood encounter with a swarm of bees and this set the stage for Lila to be consistently jumpy around them. She has, in the past, used her Crows to ensure that she has a bug free day. Lila carries a fear of regression, particularly in terms of societal progress. Despite the positive strides made in LGBTQ+ rights, she worries about the potential backlash or regression in acceptance. Lila carries a fear of leaving important work unfinished. Whether it's her advocacy, community projects, or personal goals, she fears not being able to accomplish everything she envisions and as such, she carries boasts an insanely high work ethic. She fears the day she loses it. [b]REPUTATION IN OLD COVEN ⫻[/b] ( Lila was known as Michael in the Old Coven at the start. At that time she was a timid, shy individual and more often than not followed the stronger voices that stood in front of her. She was considered meek, weak-willed, and often a pushover. Shortly after leaving the coven, she changed everything about who he was, yet these changes may not have had changed what everyone remembered [b]ROLE IN THE BATTLE AGAINST THE STYGIAN SNAKE ⫻[/b] Lila used her crows in a supportive role, using her crows to distract enemies from her friends and she also used them in a limited offensive role to peck at the eyes of those she could. She eventually watched as her flock vanished after too many close calls and she was forced to be only emotional support. [b]FLAWS ⫻[/b] Overcommitment - Lila's dedication to her cause sometimes leads to over-commitment. She tends to take on more responsibilities than she can handle, leading to moments of exhaustion and stress. Her fear of leaving important work unfinished exacerbates this fault as she struggles to find the balance between her personal life and her advocacy. Difficulty Delegating - Due to her deep personal investment in her projects, Lila finds it challenging to delegate tasks. This can lead to burnout, as she may be reluctant to entrust critical responsibilities to others. Learning to share the workload is a continual struggle as she grapples with the fear that others may not approach the work with the same passion and commitment. Impatience with Inaction - Lila's impatience with societal progress and injustices can lead to frustration. She struggles to understand those who don't share her sense of urgency, sometimes alienating individuals who may be at different stages of their journey toward acceptance and understanding. [/INDENT] [sub][b] Backstory[/b][/sub] [sub][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/sub] [i]"Thanks to gran, I feel like I can do anything."[/i] [indent]In the quiet embrace of Oregon's serene landscapes, Lila's childhood unfolded amidst the separation of her parents. She was sent to live with her Grandma, and what initially seemed like an upheaval early in her formative years turned into a blessing. Under Grandma's watchful eye, Lila's early years were the most amazing time of her life and it was filled with love, wisdom, and a caring approach that her parents never brought. These foundational moments became the bedrock of the values that would shape Lila's journey. As adolescence dawned, Lila began to grapple with a profound sense of something wrong with her gender. Seeking answers and clarity, her grandmother sought help and took Lila to therapy. It was during these introspective moments that the extraordinary revealed itself – a mystical connection with a murder of crows, bound to Lila as if they took a fancy to the young kid. When she gave them a treat and asked them to do something, they would. This connection became an integral part of her identity and a source of her power. The pivotal moment in Lila's journey occurred during the fierce confrontation with the Stygian Snake. As the world descended into chaos around her, she leaned on her crows to keep her safe. Cornered, and out of gifts for the crows, she was rescued by members of the coven, who brought the struggling kid into their fold. The battle ended up mirroring the internal struggle she faced with her gender identity. It became the crucible in which her decision to undergo a medical transition was forged. Post-battle, the subsequent months were marked by a labyrinthine journey through the approval process, a mosaic of challenges and triumphs that would pave the way for her rebirth. After the battle, she stayed with the Coven. These powers of hers confused, and concerned, her, and this seemed like a safe place for her to expand her knowledge of them. She never felt like she fit in with the rest of the group, and she often just followed whoever had the most confident voice and commanding pressure. In the wake of the Coven's disbandment, Lila's path led her to higher education. Fueling her passion for nurturing and care, she emerged as a vet tech, bridging the ordinary and the mystical in her commitment to the well-being of both animals and humans alike. Yet, the call to return echoed across the corners of her mind. Despite the personal growth and achievements of the interim period, the bonds forged within the mystical embrace of the Coven held an unyielding sway. Recognizing the significance of her power and feeling the pull of destiny, Lila chose to answer the call. As well, something strange happened in the weeks leading up to the eventual reformation of the coven. Her crows have been leading her to strange new places in the forests, and she hears the call of a mystical figure with each waking thought. This figure calls herself the Maiden of the Raven, and she promises much, and Lila is beginning to listen.

She no longer needs to offer them gifts or even verbalize her command, she simply needs to think it so and they will do it. They do like their gifts still, and Lila will get a stronger reaction out of them if she gives them a little something for their struggles. She can use the crows in three different ways.

From going for the easy spots like a throat or eyes, to completely enveloping a target in an angry swarm, Lila has a few easy ways to hurt someone. In a fight, she can use her crows to do more complex attacks. She can have her crows fly together in a tight stream, flowing over and attacking her target as a massive swarm. Each one will strike with its claws.

In this form, the crows will often fly circles around her in either a loose or tight shell. The crows will take the brunt of an attack, whether physical or magical, and replenish the shell as needed with fresh bodies. This shell will also lash out at targets that get too close.

She has already begun to develop talons, and feathered arms. As time goes on she’ll eventually sport the wings, and a more feathered body on her legs, arms, and face. The maiden has also begin to influence Lila on an emotional level, forcing her own feelings and thoughts into Lila’s mind to push her to let more of The Maiden out.

This has started with the black eyes and the feathered arms and claws of The Maiden appearing on her body. This augmentation brings with it terrifyingly sharp claws that cut through flesh and armor alike with ease. As well, she’ll gain strength that pushes her towards peak human strength. The black eyes also bring with it enhanced vision. Eventually the maiden will bring further gifts, the extent of them remain to be seen. Eventually, these gifts will become permanent if Lila uses them too much.

As well, The Maiden knows what Lila should be feeling. As time goes on, The Maiden’s influence will grow stronger and stronger. As The Maiden gains influence, she will begin to pull Lila away from the present world and into the realm of The Maiden.

While they are not functional in the sense that she can not fly (she can glide), they bring with it added defenses and a terrifying hex that can turn her enemies into the very crows she controls. The wings come in two forms, active and inert. The inert wings are jet black and offer limited applications outside of a shield that Lila can use in a fight. In their active form they have an enchanting green glow that seems to come from every feather. This green glow is a curse that compels those that fall under its allure to move towards the wings. This can achieve a few different things. Either it will leave the victim open to attacks with get claws and her crows, or she’ll let them get close to grab one of the cursed feathers. If they pull one from the wing they will have a curse mark burned onto their hands, and will be forced to turn into a crow within the next day[/list][/indent] [b]LIMITS ⫻[/b] [indent]First and foremost, the crows are just regular crows other than the psychic connection nonsense - they can't do anything more than a regular crow can do. It requires a lot of shiny objects and food in order to motivate the crows to do something in return, and they'll complete that one task and then require another gift in order to fulfill another task. While they no longer care for the number of tasks in a day, they seem to be more demanding for each task. Thus, Lila will need to ensure she always has plenty to spare in order to gain the most from them. [b]WEAKNESSES ⫻[/b] There are two primary disadvantages to the Crow pact... the primary one is that the crows will follow Lila everywhere and a giant mass of crows in one spot is very conspicuous. While they don’t swarm above her like before, they are ever present all the same. She can ask them to go away for a little while, but that's at the cost of one of a favor. The thing that Lila has to keep in mind is that the Crows are literal-minded as they come, so she has to be careful with phrasing or the Crows will end up being an issue for her. The crows are weak against attacks with areas of effect such as explosions, fire, etc, etc, and if enough crows are killed, they will flee and Lila will be without them for the day.[url][/url] [/INDENT] [sup][b] Other[/b][/sup] [sub][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/sub] [i]"Should I listen to the Maiden, or are y'all just fucking with me?"[/i] [indent]Lila has a constant supply of high quality snacks on her in her bags.

He prides himself on being able to produce much of what he eats and has plans to expand his growing operation further. [b][Artist] ⫻[/b] While his style is not for everyone Jasper is considered talented enough and is considered an emerging artist. He is currently focused on networking with other artists in the PNW region and is a constant presence at many art festivals. He currently has two collections, one that he brings to the various creator fairs for sale, and his collection that he plans to exhibit someday. [b][Connections] ⫻[/b] Jasper has connections all over St. Portwell. Thanks to his social butterfly nature he has found a place in the heart of many. As such, if he is not back in his studio creating art he is out with his various friends enjoying the town. [b][Creative Problem Solver] ⫻[/b] Jasper has always liked finding creative solutions to his problems. [/sub][/hider] [/cell][cell][sub][b] Appearance[/b][/sub] [sub][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/sub] [i]"If you can overlook the paint this shirt is quite nice"[/i] [indent] At a towering six foot five, Jasper possesses an undeniable physical presence that commands attention. While he does not have the most muscular of frames, he still does enough manual labor to keep himself in some shape. His hair is like a manifestation of his artistic chaos, as it tumbles in waves and carries an untamable energy that defies both styling attempts and product alike. His hair often frames his face highlighting his striking green eyes that seem to hold an entire range of emotions all within themselves. Jasper often dresses comfy but nice, and he is often seen in well-fitted trousers accompanied by a button-up shirt. However, he leaves an intentional gap by leaving the shirt unbuttoned, revealing a lot more chest hair than one might expect and a gold chain nestled against it. He is a big fan of accessories, and he will have any number of rings on his fingers and bracelets on his wrists. Despite his attempt at having a more refined look, he will often be seen with paint stains on even his nicest clothes. This is something that he cares less about. He is an artist, and he will have inspiration regardless of what clothes he wears. [/indent] [/cell][/row][/table][sub][b] Psychology[/b][/sub] [sub][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/sub] [i]"Just because I can do something does not mean I will do it."[/i] [INDENT][b]MAIN GOAL ⫻[/b] Jasper has a dream of being able to live as self-sufficiently as possible. This is in part driven by his desire to create authentic art pieces. In truth, he does not care if he never becomes famous, as long as he can make enough money to cover his ever-growing compound, and enough to cover his art, he will be content. [b]PHILOSOPHY ⫻[/b] Jasper's philosophy is of individualism, and embracing the beauty found in the unconventional and the chaotic. Jasper believes that true creativity flourishes in the freedom to break away from tradition and expectation. Regardless of whether someone pursues an art, he feels that people at their core are better served by not restraining themselves from what society or others deem appropriate or normal. In essence, Jasper's philosophy revolves around the idea that art, and humanity, at its core, is a celebration of the unpredictable. To truly embrace one’s self you must first rid yourself of any preconceived expectations of what you have to be and just, simply, be yourself. [b]SECRETS ⫻[/b] Jasper, despite his confident exterior, hides a few personal secrets. He has a past marked by struggles with addiction, a part of his life that's not apparent in his art. As such he has a checkered past that led to a few run-ins with the police. While he is sober from the stuff he abused, it still pulls at him to return. His art was more beautiful, he was more charismatic, and above all else he was more loved when he was an addict, at least that's what he thinks. [b]SEXUALITY ⫻[/b] Straight. He has dabbled a few times, and he’ll more than likely dabble some more. [b]FEARS ⫻[/b] He has a persistent fear of becoming stagnant in his artistic journey, a fear that he might cease to evolve and innovate, risking a loss of relevance and connection with his audience. Despite his confident exterior, Jasper harbors a fear of exposing the raw, unfiltered layers of his true self through his art. For starters, how would someone interpret his fear about the Stygian Snake? Of the countless bodies of his dead friends? Of the chaos that unfolded in the streets? And of the sadness that swept the coven after the final body was accounted for? He knows the only way he can advance as an artist is to confront these issues of his own, but he is not truly ready for this. Maybe he never will, and maybe this will forever hamper him and his art. [b]REPUTATION IN OLD COVEN ⫻[/b] Jasper was a friend to all and all were friends to Jasper. He had enough social energy to keep up with the jocks, and enough creativity as a kid to draw in the rest. He spent a lot of his free time working on his art and some were close to him because of that. There was one who he never wanted to befriend, Sloane. There was just something about that woman that made him irrationally angry. He left the Coven early due to how rigid and controlling it became. [b]ROLE IN THE BATTLE AGAINST THE STYGIAN SNAKE ⫻[/b] Jasper used his art constructs to help fight the Stygian Snake directly. Early on in the prolonged conflict he would draw, paint, and animate bird-like constructs and send them to harass the snake. Later in the fight he was constantly drawing, painting, and animating shield-carrying creatures to take the hit for his friends and the Coven. When he ran out of paint, he transitioned to a support role and pulled the injured members [b]FLAWS ⫻[/b] Jasper tends to isolate whenever he is dealing with any intense personal or artistic troubles. He will ignore any text, call, or even people at his door in favor of just ignoring the problems until they go away. Jasper’s creative spirit will sometimes bleed into impulsivity in a way that impacts both his personal, and financial stability. He also has a reluctance to collaborate with others on projects, especially ones that involve being creative. This reluctance to collaborate with others has also led to him having a resistance to structure. He does not like a hierarchal structure, and he does not have any desire to join the new coven because of this. [/INDENT] [sub][b] Backstory[/b][/sub] [sub][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/sub] [i]"I have been through some… tough times. I like to think I owe my artistic drive to it.."[/i] [indent] Jasper's early years were much alike the other kids in St. Portwell. He and his sister, Octavia, spent their entire childhood in the city. He spent entirely too much time inside making art, and when he did venture out he did so with his best friends James, Doug, and Hugh. They did everything together, and eventually, this included saving the world. At the tender age of fourteen, the four of them were pulled into the Coven after the Stygian snake began its rampage. Jasper and his friends were at the park when it all started. A firetruck was run off the road by another car, causing it to skid across the grass before coming to a stop near a baseball diamond. A single firefighter stepped out of the truck, bloody axe in hand. The Fireman began attacking people at the park, triggering Jasper and his friends' Kindling events. Jasper saw his great-great-grandfather in his vision. The man was old, and he was painting a picture filled with deep blue hues. He talked with Jasper and told him about his Lux and what this all meant, and that he would need to be brave not only for himself, and not only for his friends but for everyone else who did not have the strength to fight or the ability to. As the trance ended, and the firefighter approached, Jasper drew a stickman in his sketchbook with black ink, channeled his Lux, and pulled the figure from the page. His stick-figure held back the firefighter for only a few moments, but it was enough for them to run. As they ran, they were intercepted by a small group from the Sycamore Tree Coven. They were offered a safe place from the madness, and further explanations for their powers. Without a second thought, they joined up. They did not know fully what they were capable of, or what their powers meant, but the Coven had answers and the answers would come after the defeat of the Stygian Snake. The four became a tight-knit group within the coven. They were well-liked by most, even if their powers were on the weaker side. Jasper was the weakest of the group. At first, no one knew what his power could do. He could only create weak paper figures as he only used black paint. Eventually, someone suggested he add color to the paintings and that is when he was able to finally utilize his lux to its full power. The four, along with the rest of the Coven faced the Stygian Snake in a final confrontation. In the face of danger, Jasper painted himself dry. He had initially let his creativity run wild, but this made his constructs weak and ineffective. He resorted back to simple figures with simple powers and let them do the work for him. Even when he ran out of ink, he still found a way to be useful dragging the wounded and injured to the healers. However, the victory came at a heavy cost. Jasper, standing strong and feeling confident, found himself the lone survivor among his childhood friends. The weight of grief, coupled with the toxic dynamics and rigid leadership within the coven, gradually eroded the enchantment that had initially drawn him in. While he wanted to stay and help in any way he could, he began to feel weighed down by the leadership and the decisions that they had made. The very thing that once united them now became a source of discomfort, and as the coven's aura turned from wonderful to oppressive, Jasper made the difficult decision to sever ties. Leaving behind the coven and its haunting memories, Jasper embarked on a solitary journey of self-discovery. The mystical powers that had once defined his adolescence became a quieter, more intimate part of his identity, woven into the threads of his art and the complexities of his adult life. The scars of his past adventures lingered, however, and he developed a dependence on numerous substances. He would spend the better part of three years an addict and has only recently gotten sober. When Auri called, he welcomed the conversation. He did not want to return but mentioned that if anyone wanted to catch up he would be down for a class reunion. When he put down the phone, he began to paint his latest project which was a look back at the coven itself, showing all the members from right before the final fight with the Stygian Snake. The sight of his friends, and all the other dead Coven members, has made him reconsider not joining up. [/indent] [sub][b] Abstraction[/b][/sub] [sub][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/sub] [i]"If I don't make them perfect they will never be able to help."[/i] [indent][b]TYPE ⫻[/b] Adept - Red/Yellow/Gold Lux with his channeler being a paintbrush. [b]ABSTRACTION ⫻[/b] A stroke of paint - Jasper can bring his paintings to life and enhance them with different colored paint [b]ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻[/b] Jasper can pull his paintings from canvas and bring them to life with specific purposes. He needs to paint the figure or object first and channel his intention for it as he does. If he wanted to create a figure to attack something he would need to channel that attack into his brush as he paints, and if he wanted to create a barrier unit he would need to also channel that defensive intention. While he can still pull paintings from the canvas without this specific intention, they would be much weaker and melt faster than ones with a specific intention. Jasper can enhance these constructs by using color. [list][*][b]Paint it black:[/b] Jasper can pull his paintings from the canvas and bring them to life. The first step in the creation of any of these constructs is painting the Canvas black. While he can instead outline the construct with the brush, the spell works best when the entire canvas serves as the channeling surface. If he chooses to go forward with the outline instead the construct will be weaker and may melt into a puddle of acrylic or oil within a few minutes. During the process, he must constantly make his intention known and channel it into the paint itself. By using his channeling power, the oil or acrylic paint will dry within a few minutes and be ready for the next part and he uses the other end of the paintbrush to channel this effect. He has to move from step to step, and can not prepare a hundred painted canvases otherwise they run into the same issue as the outline. [*][b]A dash of detail:[/b] Once the canvas is dried, he can then move on to creating the construct. Detail is incredibly important in this step. Any mistake he makes, such as a leg being shorter or disproportional, will make its way into the summoned construct. The more detail he adds will also make the construct more powerful. Depending on the situation he can spend ten minutes on creating a basic construct that would serve for its intended function. He has practiced the creation of three basic constructs to a near-machine level efficiency. The knight, the paladin, and the ranger. The knight is modeled after the typical knight in armor with a long two-handed sword. The Paladin has a large shield and nothing else while having a bulkier armor style than the knight. The ranger has a longbow and is devoid of any armor. Much like painting the canvas black, he can quickly use his Lux to dry the painting allowing a rapid application of the next layer. [*][b]A splash of color:[/b] If the situation calls for it, Jasper can spend more time on each painting and can add different effects to each one. The two colors that he focuses on are red and yellow. The red color is an offensive-focused one. When he paints the knight's sword, the paladin's shield, or the ranger's arrow if he paints them in a red color he can channel his Lux to give his constructs a fire effect. The knight's sword is engulfed in flames, the paladin's shield radiates intense heat, and the ranger's arrow explodes in a firey spray. As well, if he paints the Paladin with a yellow hue, or adds yellow to the knight's sword, it makes the construct more durable in those locations. He can only work with red and yellow paint for this purpose, and he can not combine the colors to combine their properties. [*][b]Put it together:[/b] When he finishes the painting, he can use his paintbrush to pull the construct from the canvas and into the real world. As they are pulled, they grow in size at a rate of three to one. Thus, a painting that is two feet by one foot will become a construct that is six feet by three feet. It is here where any imperfections will be truly highlighted. The more complex constructs, like the knight, paladin, and ranger, can last five minutes on average, meanwhile, a quick outline without doing the full spell may last a minute at most. [*][b]A fine paintbrush:[/b] Jasper's paintbrush is a special one. He only uses it to create his constructs and for no other painting. It, when combined with his lux, ensures that not a drop of paint is left on the bristles after use. As well, the bristles themselves seem to remain as new as the day he picked it up. [/list] [b]LIMITS ⫻[/b] The biggest figure that Jasper has been able to summon is a six-foot-tall one. As the size increases on a creation so too does the strength needed to pull it from the canvas. As well, the process of doing so exerts a toll on his body. While he can paint, summon, and paint again he will tire himself out quickly if he tries to summon too many too quickly. He can only have one summon at a time, meaning he will need to determine which form makes the most sense and commit to it until he can summon the next. There is an inherent need for complexity in these paintings. While he can create simple ones and use them, they lack any form of strength to stand for long, and the more simple they are the less punishment they can take. At the end of the day, his constructs are nothing more than reinforced ink or oil. While his lux can grant them strength to absorb some punishment, they can not withstand much for long. [b]WEAKNESSES ⫻[/b] > Jasper’s constructs have an elemental weakness in the form of water and heat. Water will instantly destroy his constructs and cause them to wash away. Heat will cause them to dry up, lose their mobility, and become more frail until they cannot move. By bringing his art to life, he puts a little bit of himself into it.... As in his life force. By doing so he will make himself weak and pushing himself too far can cause organ failure.

[b][Art as a passion] ⫻[/b] Aryin is also an artist and they make their living at the 317. They don’t claim any one style but prefer to let the art tell them which direction to take it.

They are both white, with Heterochromia. Their eyes are green and brown, and the location of these colors switch sides when they swap. They like to wear loose, baggy clothes because Aryin is tall at 5’11 while Aaron is shorter at 5’7. Thus, when they’re out as Aaron they need to always ensure that whatever they wear will also fit the taller Aryin and vice versa. While that is a necessity, they do have a separate style for each. Aryin tends to be bubble gum pink and colorful meanwhile Aaron simple and basic with his clothes. Aaron has shorter, fluffy brown hair while Aryin has longer straight hair that they often keep bangs with. Neither have any tattoos nor piercings as that could mess with their body transformation. A tattoo that could look good on one might look distorted and wrong on the other.

They will not hesitate to jump into a fight to protect someone who is close to them, and oftentimes that has led to injuries for all parties involved. Aryin will also stop at nothing to ensure that once a threat identifies themself that the threat is dealt with. They also have a desire to truly find someone capable of loving them, the whole them, and not just one half of them. This has proven much more difficult than they imagined, as they can not date a blind. [b]PHILOSOPHY ⫻[/b] The strong must protect the week. Those who have the strength to do so must do everything in their power to ensure those without it do not come to harm. Whether that is with physical strength, mental fortitude, or material wealth, those who are in a privileged position must use it to better those who are not on their level. Any less is betraying not only themself, but everyone around them. [b]SECRETS ⫻[/b] They often lead a secret double life as each part of themself with the blind. Aaron is a sports nerd who likes to hang out with the boys at the bar watching a game while having a drink, meanwhile Aryin is a nature loving, power to the people activist who finds peace on hikes. Their two friend groups never intersect but if they did, they’d have up become like Ms. Doubtfire in every social engagement. As well, if it became common knowledge that they love to live this double life people would think less of them for their talk about embracing your whole truth, but living in a way that was anything but. [b]SEXUALITY ⫻[/b] Queer as fuck. [b]FEARS ⫻[/b] They have a deep fear surrounding the Stygian Snake and monsters like it. They were not strong enough to hold the line, nor fight the monster back itself. If another threat like that came into the world they know that they’d never be able to do more than what they have already did. They also have a fear about being alone. Their birth family already abandoned them, what would happen if their found family did the same? [b]REPUTATION IN OLD COVEN ⫻[/b] Aryin was simply Aaron back in the old coven day in both forms. They were known to be a fiery, opinionated person who was ready to fight both the Stygian Snake and the less chill members of the coven. They were often seen arguing with the leadership about one thing or the other, and on a few times their temper got the best of them. People also knew them as this kind, compassionate person who would rather throw themself in front of a raging monster instead of risking injury to someone else. They left before they could be kicked out by the leadership, and that vote was likely to occur. Their biggest hater was Emily, and if she simply breathed around Aaron he would’ve made it a huge issue. [b]ROLE IN THE BATTLE AGAINST THE STYGIAN SNAKE ⫻[/b] They were a common sight on the frontlines. They would tank the hits of the various monsters to allow the more finesse fighters a clear opening to strike, before switching to their long range form to clear the monsters from a distance. You never saw them stay in the same form for long, and more often they would be tanking a hit before they switched to kill a target before they switched back to resume their tank status. [b]FLAWS ⫻[/b] They often care too much about those around them. If someone hurts their friend, or creates the situation where their friend gets hurt, they will become increasingly unreliable and irrational. As well, they often read too much into what people say. A simple misunderstanding could turn heated without much warning.[/INDENT] [sub][b] Backstory[/b][/sub] [sub][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/sub] [i]" Let’s not focus on the past."[/i] [indent]Aaron was born in St. Portwell to an upper middle class family. He did not want for a lot, and had a relatively happy childhood even if his gender fluid nature drew the ire of his parents. He had average grades, but a strong friend group that created a lot of great childhood memories. Because of their constant desire to present differently than what their parents had intended, they often were pulled away from their friends and the fun that he enjoyed so much and forced to spend weeks at a time restricted to their room. As they entered Highschool they hoped that things would finally be different, that they could be their authentic self and get the approval of their parents and be able to have friends that matched their energy. That would have to wait. During a normal after school visit to the mall the Snake launched its attack. It was during this attack that Aaron underwent their kindling and learned how to fight back. As soon as their kindling was finished they underwent their first swap and what would become known as Aryin was born. Aryin would fight in this form for a few minutes before she swapped back. He then used his light based powers to fight the apparitions that had killed his friends and began to go after any other one he could find. Eventually he was cornered and took a few hits that forced him to swap back to Aryin. For the next hour she threw hands with the monsters, unable to hurt them and unable to be hurt in return. They think that they would still be there to this day, hands flying through the air, if it wasn’t for the Sycamore Tree Coven finding her and killing the monsters. From here it was clear what their path would be, and it was clear that it would be paved with the bodies of the snake and its minions. Fighting became a new normal during the month-long ordeal, and they were never far from the frontlines. Tank a hit, swap, blast them with energy, swap again, and repeat. They got help with enhancing their spells from Ella, and their memory lingers on with Aaron in their spell names. When the snake was defeated, they tried to stay with the coven to help protect the people she cared about. People like Emily and the other leaders made that difficult, and Aryin transitioned to fight this new fight for those who could not. This would go on for more than Aryin intended, and they knew when they were no longer wanted by the leadership. As those they cared about left, so too did Aryin. This closed her time with coven’s and has never joined another. After the coven, and Highschool, they fully came out and refused to back down when their parents threatened to disown them. They made good on the threat and Aryin had to chart their own path forward, completely cut off from everyone in her family. They went to school in St. Portwell and is still paying down the debt they took out to pay for it. They have a small apartment down the road from the 317 and have done their best to keep in contact with their friends from before. They have begun to rent a space in the 317 and have begun to be brought into more of the organization's structure. They have heard that their coven has returned, and part of them wants to return and rejoin their former friends. [/indent] [sub][b] Abstraction[/b][/sub] [sub][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/sub] [i]" You’re not strong enough. And you can’t ran fast enough."[/i] [indent][b]TYPE ⫻[/b] Aryin is a green adept with a necklace as her channeler, Aaron is a red adept with the same channeler. Technically they’re a Red/Green adept however their powers are restricted depending on their presentation. [b]ABSTRACTION ⫻[/b] Gender Bender. Aryin can swap their gender to either be an immovable object of pure defensive strength, or an unstoppable object of raw destructive power. [b]ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻[/b] Aryin is an adept who uses a power they’ve referred to as Gender Bender. This power allows them to completely change their sex at will, complete with both primary and secondary characteristics. While some traits remain, such as their eyes, everything else will be changed and this includes their powers. The transformation is near instant, and they’re able to swap back and forth without issue or delay. Their two forms compliment each other, one can tank the hits and apply the power to the other that can dish out punishment and increase the former's speed. [list][i]STONEWALL ⫻[/i] When they are Aryin they become an immovable object that can tank hits from most sources both physical and magical. They draw their power entirely from the green lux aspect of their power and have not been able to integrate any red lux spells whatsoever. The secondary function of this form is it is the most efficient way to power Aaron’s spells. Their skin can store the energy of a hit and this stored energy is then used up with their offensive spells. They can not store an infinite amount of this energy and thus, they’ll want to switch to get the most out of it. As well, if they store too much it begins to slow them down. [*] [u] HOLD THE LINE [/u] Aryin becomes incredibly hard to move. No matter what they are hit with they can not be pushed back nor moved from their position. Each hit will feel like it’s hitting a solid surface no matter where it falls. [*] [u] STILL IN THE FIGHT [/u] As well, in this form they have a nearly unlimited source of stamina. This means that even if they throw a thousand punches they’ll be ready to throw a thousand more. They’re punches are enhanced compared to normal but it is not by much. They can hit hard but not hard enough to be considered supernatural. [*][u] IN THE LINE OF FIRE [/u] When someone they care about is in danger they are able to temporarily increase their speed to get themselves in front of the danger. This is a short lived burst of energy that seems to be triggered by their fear of loss.[/list] [list][i]WEEB ENHANCEMENT ⫻[/i] Aaron is a bit different in his application of his power. He can not access any green lux abilities and instead must focus on the raw power from his red. Aaron can draw from Aryin’s stored energy to power his abilities. He can still use his power without this stored energy but they are much weaker, and will instead pull from his own life force. [*] [u] TWILIGHT FLASH[/u] Aaron can draw on his power to create light in the palm of his hands . The intensity of the light depends on how much energy he pulls into the spell. Simply put the more energy he draws the brighter the light. This also acts as a charge up system for his other spells If he charges this for a second, he might be able to hurt and possibly kill an enemy. More than likely this will stun a target rather than anything more. If he charges for ten seconds there is not much that can take multiple hits from his offensive spells. In simple terms, he draws power from the stored energy of Stonewall that he can then convert into a power that he can use for his spells. [*] [u] EVIL SPIRITS, BE GONE[/u] The most telegraphed attack he will use, Evil Spirits, Be Gone is an incredibly concentrated and consistent blast of energy. This ray can burn incredibly hot and the duration of the blast is determined by the charge time. The longer he charges the longer he can keep the blast on target before he runs out of power. [*] [u] SPIRIT BOMB[/u] The second, and most powerful, of his abilities is Spirt Bomb. He concentrates the energy into one hand and forms it into a ball that he can throw and detonate on command. The size and power of the explosion is determined by how much energy he pulls from within, growing from a baseball to a basketball to a beach ball and upwards. There is no upper limit to how big it can get however there is a limit to how much he himself can hold or throw. As well, there’s a limit on how much power he can store. Once detonated it will explode outwards in a massive explosion that can devastate those who are caught within the blast. [*] [u] KI BLAST [/u] Ki blast is Aaron primary form of offense and defense. He can pull energy from within and then use it to fire off a blast of explosive power. The longer he charges the more shots he has. It is a useful tool for engage, as he can fire them off as he approaches a target before swapping, harassing at range, and even as a short range blast to get separation from a target.[/list] [b]LIMITS ⫻[/b] While they can stay in both forms indefinitely, they can not fight in both forever. The Stonewall form is not meant for prolonged fights. While they are very durable something can eventually overwhelm them. As well, there is a finite amount of energy that can be stored. Aaron also has a limit for his duration. The longer that they try and maintain this form the weaker their spells become and the more energy needed. [b]WEAKNESSES ⫻[/b] Aryin/Aaron's ability to switch genders and spell groups is connected to their emotions and could lead to unintentionally switching forms and even getting temporarily stuck in either Aaron or Aryin. Which can be pretty risky in situations in which they need one form or another. Aryin/Aaron's Abstraction is specialized, with each form focusing solely on defense or offense, which means they sacrifice one for the other. While Aryin's Stonewall form provides excellent defense, it also limits her mobility and range of movement, making her slow, sluggish, inert, and easier to maneuver around in a fight. Aaron's spells, particularly Evil Spirits, Be Gone and Spirit Bomb, are highly telegraphed and require charging time, making them incredibly easy to react to in a fight. While Aaron's offensive form grants him powerful destructive abilities, it may also leave him physically vulnerable due to decreased defense and a weaker Emotional-Field which means he is more susceptible to magic than average.

I should have reached out to someone like you when things got rough for me. I could’ve used a friend to talk to, someone who would have listened but also help pull me from the darkness that was eating me alive.

You are dangerous. And not in the ‘oh I’m powerful, I can do it all’ kinda ways but in the ‘i will run your life over a dream’ kinda one. As well, you can influence the dreams of everyone. So anytime you tell us what someone dreamed I know you’re lying. You’re changing the dreams of others, blackmailing them with them, and pretending that makes you important. You’re not. And I think deep down you know that.

No one else knows what it’s like to see all that death, all that failure, and still have the ability to prevent it all. I see a lot of the same things in you that I saw in myself before.
