》P e r s o n a l i t y

Clarice is generally a very happy person and like to make new friends. She gets passionate about topics that intrest her and will talk about them for hours on end. There is however another side to her. She can become very angry at small setbacks or roadblocks, she views any failure as her own and she hates being a failure. This isn't something she shows off and she tries to keep it repressed, but it comes out sometimes, and she can be mean and cruel to those around her, though she feels awful afterwards and attempts to make amends. Though she has her moments of emotional turmoil Clarice tries to look on the bright side of life and make the change she wishes to see in the world. Her hope is that one day she can invent a new spell that could change the world for the better.

》H i s t o r y

Clarice started life as Clarence, the only son of Marian and Daniel Meitner leaders of The Circle of Cosmos and younger brother of Christy Meitner, the best sister ever. From a young age Clarence was told that they were expected to do amazing things. Magic schooling and testing began very young, some of the earliest memories Clarence had were pf practicing magic. Not that it bothered Clarence, they were good at it, everything came naturally. They were praised and showered with affection because of this talent. Clarence liked the praise, they liked the attention from their parents, and so life continued.

Clarence was told that all magic was meant to be explored and that eventually all magic could be understood, if only we looked for the answers hard enough. Clarence liked talking about that with their mom and dad, they always got so excited and happy. They were all happy.

One day people arrived to take Clarence's father away. They said that he had done something wrong, but all he had done was magic. Why was that so bad? The people who took him, The Circle of ancients, had him tired, and found him guilty. They made the whole coven watch as they executed him, and Clarence watched their father die.

After that the magic lessons got harder, the punishment for failure more strict. Clarence didn't mind, it helped keep away thoughts of thier father. But Christy began to slip, and soon she fell behind. Clarence kept going. If they succeeded, maybe they could make their mom happy again. If they did well enough maybe she would be around more often. Sometimes it worked... most times it didn't.

As the years went by Christy and Clarence grew more distant, and when it came time Christy moved away, leaving Clarence alone with their mother. School and Magic practice became more and more difficult, more and more strenuous, but Clarence pulled through, succeeding like always, to make mother happy. Clarence went numb through the process, disassociating from the situation and forgoing emotion for efficiency and good grades. Eventually the schooling was done and it was time to choose a Coven and a profession, hardly a choice really. Clarence Joined The Circle of Cosmos and became an inter at a Cosmos lab near home. Then something happened that would change things forever. Christy sent Clarence a letter.

It was a simple letter, one just asking how things were going, if they were doing well, standard fare. The ending however is what caught clarences attention.

"If you need a place to stay, you're always welcome here."

Clarence tried to put the thought of moving away out of their head, but it wouldn't leave. Eventually they heard a facility was being built near where Christy lived, either through coincidence or fate there was a chance. Clarence asked their mother to be transferred to the Ember Grove Cosmos Lab and after some convincing, it was approved. Clarence asked Chirsty of they could stay with her and Christy accepted, graciously. Clarence moved to Ember Grove and the two became roommates.

Living away from home was a shock to Clarence. There weren't the imposed rules of living in their mother's home. Clarence found that they had been so tightly wound without ever realizing. Slowly they began to unwind, and relax. One day, for fun Christy started to do put makeup on Clarence, who had become used to things like this quickly. When she was done Christy showed Clarence the result and to Clarence's surprise... they looked good. Clarence asked if they had a wig, then a dress. Soon Clarence was dressed entirely in Christy's clothes. That night, for the first time in a long time, they felt happy. So, Christy kept helping and Clarence kept learning who they were and then, eventually, they changed their name to Clarice.

It has since been a year and Clarice is more happy than she's been since she was small. No one but Christy and the lead Scientist at Cosmos Lab know. Christy won't tell anyone and the Lead has promised not to spill the beans either. She has rediscovered her love of Science and reasearch, she's not just doing it because she was told to anymore, but because it is what she wants to do. She has started to come to realizations that she was, and is still, angry. Angry at her mother, angry at the fact that she did nothing in retaliation for her father's death. Most of all, however, she was angry at The Circle of Ancients. She was angry at the Judge who gave the final order. She was angry at Maeve Brannigan.

And she planned to do something about it.

》C o v e n
Clarice is in The Circle of Cosmos, while she is not the leader, her mother is.

》S k i l l L e v e l
Clarice is advanced, having been heavily trained in the application of magic both in the field and in the lab from a young age.

》S p e l l S p e c i a l i z a t i o n
Clarice is generally trained, if she specializes in anything its in researching and creating new spells or applications for magic.

Ember Grove - Reboot

The Circle of Cosmos

The Circle of Cosmos

》Leader: Marian Meitner
》How radical 1 to 10: 7
》History:
The Circle of Cosmos was founded in 1947 by Witches and Warlocks who were of the mind that science and Magic were not separate. Everything has a place in the universe, everything is a building block for something bigger, why is magic any different?

So, these like minded individuals began to research with the meager amount and quality of equipment available. Does Magic exist as its own form of matter, what areas of the brain are in use when a warlock casts spells, can magic be accessed or activated via machine, does magic exist outside of our planet, would it even work in space? These questions are just a small sample of the vast amount being asked, and answered, by The Circle of Cosmos.

Over the years The Circle of Cosmos grew, gained members and facilities. Now there is a Cosmos Lab in every major country, all studying the origin and application of Magic. In Ember Grove a Cosmos lab has recently been erected, said to be placed there for the study and experentation on the strange properties the town is rumored to have. A perfect opportunity for a test.

In the Eyes of The Circle of Cosmos, all magic should be explored to it's fullest. Though, some would disagree. Forbidden or 'Dark Magic', as some call it, is banned from practice or research by The Circle of Ancients. The Circle of Cosmos and the Circle of Ancients have butted heads over this since the conception of The Circle of Cosmos, but in 1999 Maeve Brannigan found a member of The Circle of Cosmos guilty of practicing forbidden magic, and executed him. This member was none other than Daniel Meitner, the husband of the Circle of Cosmos' own leader. It was a challenge and a message, and the message was clear. Do not question the Circle of Ancients.

Since then, as far as anyone knows, The Circle of Cosmos has stayed in line. Only doing approved research. Though there is bad blood between the two covens, nothing has sparked further conflict.

Yet.

》Goals: To bring the Witching world into a new Era. The Circle of Cosmos wish to unlock the secrets of magic's origin and its place in the cosmos to bring in a new age of prosperity and peace.

Skahn Dra

S a n d o
E v e n i n g

Skahn listened intently as the group continued to ask questions. A week to Ruk, and then to Crescent Moon Canyon. They would need to make good time if they wished to arrive on time. As concerns about supplies were raised Skahn considered their own supplies. They had no food, water, or tears but they did have trade able scrap metal and tiny machines. Skahn hoped it would be enough to trade for in Ruk.

The others began to disperse and Skahn was addressed by The Torvin. Skahn tilted their head as The Torvin spoke. Shiny. Skahn had never heard the word used on this manner before, but it seemed to be intended as a question. Perhaps it was a colloquialism where The Torvin was from, and if that was the case Skahn was delighted that The Torvin had shared it with them. Skahn would have to try it out some time.

Skahn nodded to The Torvin and set off after them. Skahn had eaten and drank today. They should be fine until they arrived at Ruk, where Skahn could trade for tears and meat. Skahn let their mandibles click and hiss as they let out a barely comprehensible,
"Shhhhiny"
Skahn echoed their response to match The Torvin's question, and hopefully used the phrase correctly. Skahn gave a close approximation of a 'thumbs up' to The Torvin as well, hoping it would help bridge the gap, as it were and make it clear that Skahn was saying 'yes'.

As Skahn began to follow The Torvin they remembered that The Torvin had a gear scar and Skahn was curious. Skahn hurried to keep pace with The Torvin and slowly began to sign, as The Torvin had asked them not to go to quickly, lest they go misunderstood,
"The Torvin has a gear on their arm. Skahn would like to ask questions about it, if it would not angry The Torvin..."
Skahn thought for a moment and then added,
"If it would angry The Torvin, Skahn apologizes for asking."

Like I said, its on me. I should've specified.

@stone
Valid, honestly.
But in regards to your previous statement which I just read again, Skahn has six limbs, four of which are 'arms', so they can work and communicate at the same time.
Now that I think about it, I should have specified that in the character sheet. Like I put that they have a Slongshot that requires 4 arms to use but I didn't specify how many arms Skahn has.

Skahn has a limited vocal range, so they can talk. It's just very hard and sounds terrifying

Skahn Dra

S a n d o
E v e n i n g

Skahn's large head bobbed up and down in an ecstatic fashion. Skahn was delighted at The Hawk's answer. The fact that they did not have to ride the Boga, frightening a prospect as that was, made the excitement of the mission much more enjoyable. The Hawk then turned to the Dwarf and began to speak in private, motioning for the rest of the group to mingle amongst themselves for a moment.

Skahn turned and looked for other Runner's to speak to, but noticed that the majority were either keeping their distance, or otherwise engaged. Skahn understood. Zitan were generally not trusted in 'civilized' culture. It was sad, but Skahn was sure that in time they would make acquaintances, for now though it may be best to give the others space. Skahn lumbered over a little to the side. They were further away from the Boga and had given the others more room to move.

So, as The Hawk turned again and began to speak, Skahn stood about two feet to the left of where they had been before. The Hawk mentioned that Skahn was to join the Schooner and Skahn's head once again bobbed in delight. Skahn had seen Schooners before, both riding the sands and crashed in the desert, full of things to gather and bring home to The Hive. Skahn was excited to ride in one for the first time, and very much hoped they did not end up like the later of Schooners they Skahn had seen. Skahn made to move to The Torvin's sides and upon closer inspection Skahn noticed that the Dwarf had a gear carved into it's flesh.

Skahn knew that it was a custom for soft-skins to do this with things that were important to them, though why they chose to scar themselves was beyond Skahn's own knowledge. Skahn paid it close attention for a moment, and made a note to speak to The Torvin about it later, before The Hawk made mention that others were welcome to join the Schooner. Skahn heard a few people make moves and then stop. Skahn hoped they had not dissuaded other Runners from joining the Schooner, it would be for the best that only the most skilled riders were on the Boga.

After the first few scuffles of half-hearted movement a soft-skin introduced themselves as The Asante and made claim to a position on a Boga. Soon after The Karissa also laid claim to a position on the Boga. Skahn's head tilted to the side in curiosity. Had the Hawk not asked for those who wanted to ride the Schooner? Was there any reason to mention who wished to ride the boga? Though they were essentially the same thing Skahn wondered if the difference mattered.

Putting questions of Soft-skin behavior aside, Skahn leaned to Torvin and began to sign.

"Skahn gives greeting to The Torvin. Do you know hand sign? I ask only to see how cumbersome this journey may be for Skahn Verbally."
