[b]61 | Charles Julian Edward Beaumont  | He/Him [/b][hr][i]"There are those that are born to rule, and those that are born to follow."[/i][/center][/cell][cell]
[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]A once prominent and well known businessman of Cloverfield, now fallen from grace. Charles built himself up from nothing - if nothing was, of course, two Adept parents who never felt the need to build wealth, but could easily get it from those less fortunate (Blind). It was much the same for him - his unique combination of Blue and Pink Lux making it all too easy to sway people to offer him the best loans, and to buy his products. Eventually, he had multiple successful businesses - a technology company, a city wide pharmaceutical, smaller businesses bought by him. He was one of the richest men in the city. Everyone - on the North Side, that was - knew the name Beaumont.

But Charles was incredibly ambitious and intelligent. He wanted more than money, and he wanted more than what tasteful magic could offer him. Why was he born with Blue & Pink lux if not to unlock its full potential. So in his early thirties, Charles began a form of ‘human experimentation’. Paying South Side gangs to kidnap people who wouldn’t be missed, giving him guinea pigs to test out horrifying Blue & Pink spells. Completely rewriting their brains, curses to morph them into whatever grotesque creature he needed, and more sophisticated mind control - pain causing curses that put the test subjects under his control without the need for him to actively spell cast. Then, he got Paranormal. Cracking Emotional Fields with blue lux took some work, but he did it. From there, his magical power only grew stronger - and his spells crueller. Many perished, but a fair few were kept captive as nothing more than mind controlled zombies - and fewer still released back into the world as if nothing had happened.

His dark, criminal activities were hidden underneath the legitimate businesses - and no one had reason to suspect. No one [i]could[/i] tell. Even his daughter Vanessa, born only to carry on his legacy, was controlled by the same curses he used on his victims. Unfortunately for Charles - and fortunately for Cloverfield - his pride and arrogance led to his downfall. He saw the situation after the Cataclysm as an opportunity to take over the city, and his use of the test subjects was the first sign of what he’d been doing. His business partner - a Green-Pink lux user, and the only other person (outside of his daughter) - saw the fall before it came, and betrayed him. Thanks to this, the Paranormal Authorities in the North Side were able to arrest him.

Now Charles is where he belongs - imprisoned and unable to continue his disturbing experiments. But his spellbook and his daughter, trained by him, are both currently missing, with an open case and bounty on both…

[b]Abstraction:[/B] Adept - Blue & Pink Lux. Channeler: Insignia ring 
[indent]Charles is an incredibly powerful Adept, having trained from a young age and furthered his own magic through constant experimentation with little care for morals. He seamlessly blends together his Blue and Pink Lux to form a large, and disturbing, spellbook. While he can do all the ‘basics’ of both his Lux - telepathy, mind control, cursing people to turn into monsters, creating cursed diseases, ect - he’s constantly pushed the boundary thanks to his combined types. These spells are the ones he truly considers [i]his[/i].

[b]Curse of Entry:[/b] A primarily Blue spell with a hint of Pink, this spell is the fundamental of Charles’ spellcasting. It allows him entry through an Emotional Field. Once the curst is cast he can get past the target's Emotional Field as he pleases. He’s perfected this to the point of incredible subtlety and speed, along with it being very hard to break. This allows him to cast all of his other spells on Paranormal as if they were Blind.

[b]Curse of Hallucination:[/b] Curses the target to hear constant, auditory hallucinations in their mind. These feed off their fears and thoughts, able to have a conversation with the cursed as if there was someone else in their head. There’s no escape from it - and these hallucinatory thoughts are always negative.

[b]Curse of Erosion:[/b] A curse to cause someone to lose their sense of self. Slowly, they lose all the love and joy they get from the world - starting by losing what they got pleasure from. Then, their feelings towards places and people are dampened. Eventually all they feel is apathy. 

[b]Curse of Incorrect Memory:[/b] A curse that subtly changes the cursed memories. Sometimes it removes slight details, sometimes it adds them, sometimes it changes the memory. This means that the target often looks like a liar, or like they might be going crazy. It’s inconsistent, and a spell Charles developed purely for the fun of it rather than any practical benefit to himself.

[b]Curse of Painful Resistance:[/b] A spell that Charles considers one of his masterpieces. It is a curse directly linked to the target's thoughts. When cast Charles chooses what thoughts trigger the curse. When the cursed thinks any of them, the curse is triggered, causing them intense pain. This is akin to a constant migraine at first, which spreads to their entire body as their nerves send pain signals everywhere. It lasts for half an hour. He can do this for anything - most often causing pain if the target has any thoughts of going against him, betraying him, or similar. Most typically this was used on stronger Paranormal, or the few people he ‘worked’ with.

[b]Curse of Command:[/b] Similar to Painful Resistance, this spell is one Charles has perfected. It’s an advanced form of typical Mind Control spells, which he viewed as inefficient. Instead of having to directly mind control people, he implants cursed commands into his targets. Certain thoughts trigger the curse, which then brainwashes them with Pink lux. With enough layered they’re completely under his control without him having to actively cast.

[b]Curse of Death:[/b] A spell from his twisted desire to cause pain rather than control, this is a curse that causes an incredibly long and slow death. It adjusts the brain to cause constant, excruciating pain while slowly killing it off. Eventually, they suffer from brain death, but not after a long period of suffering.

[b]Curse of Monstrous Magic:[/b] Beyond just cursing people to have monstrous appearances, Charles developed a spell to turn Blinds into Paranormal - an Abstraction Granting curse. He has a large list of different curses, and was constantly developing more on the Blinds captured for his experimentation. 

[b]Brain Manipulation:[/b] Rather than a spell, Charles’ ability to permanently change the brain is a series of subspells he was constantly developing on his test subjects. More than just changing thoughts or controlling people - this spell allowed him to fundamentally change their mind. He could mess with their nervous system through the brain, forcefully remove memories, create an entirely new person by adjusting their neural pathways. All of these changes were permanent. He saw this spell as limitless with enough time and work. 

[b]Brain Death:[/b] A quick pink lux spell which causes immediate death by ceasing the brain's function, so that it no longer sustains life.
