Claudette Jones

_______________________________________________ Claudette Jones She/Her | 31 | Afro-Canadian | 6'0 | 130 _______________________________________________ Horror _______________________________________________ Skills & Talents "I'm nothing special." ___________________________________ [+] Social Worker ⫻ Claudette has a master's degree in social work from the University of Chicago! She knows a lot about her subject and can act as the therapist for the Coven in case shit goes south. Bilingual ⫻ As a native of Montreal Claudette is fluent in French-Canadian and she can also fluently speak English. Artist ⫻ Claudette dabbles in art from time to time, she can sketch and paint pretty well but she uses her artistic talent for making seals. Sealing ⫻ Claudette knows how to seal Apparitions and has sealed several before.

Appearance ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ "I will keep on running." Claudette is definitely somebody you couldn't miss even if you weren't looking for her. She's tall, slim, and has a poofy afro of natural hair on top of her head. The girl also has some various masculine features about her which could throw the first person who looks at her into doubt. For starters the girl is six feet tall even and that's tall even for male standards, and her body is slim and straight. Distinctly lacking in any type of curves - her chests and behind are concave, her waist isn't that slim, and her shoulders are somewhat broad. Claudette's face is the most feminine part of her it seems, but her jaw is somewhat square and boyish. This isn't a point of contention, but it's something that Claudette embraces with open arms as apart of her identity as being gender-fluid. The girl isn't that muscular but she definitely tries to keep in the best shape possible in order be her best. Though after what happened, she has been doing a lot more running and doesn't exactly keep on top of things like her makeup and her other features. Claudette is African-American and proud, she's a mixture of several different African-Nations which results in her skin being a very distinct, dark-brown and would-be-black-if-few-shades-darker skin tone. Claudette's lips are large and glossy and her hair is afro-textured. The girl dresses in modern fashion with jeans, sweaters, and other such name brands such as Nike and some designer brands, but she seems to dress to cover as much of her body as possible. This is because she's hiding many scars from beasts and other creatures. They are hideous and they're all over her body from monster attacks that she survived. She carries around a strange book, however. There is not an inch of her body that's tattooed, pierced, or otherwise marked. The girl also speaks with a slight French/Canadian accent.

_{Psychology
^{▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔}}
"I got to do anything to break the curse."

MAIN GOAL ⫻ Break the Curse so the Apparitions can leave her alone and she can live her life. That life is in the life of a social worker. Maybe getting revenge against the bitch that cursed her in the first place.

WHAT THEY WANT OUT OF THE COVEN ⫻ Claudette wants to use the Coven to find some way to get out of the Curse. However, she's wondering if she should dabble a bit in the supernatural.

PHILOSOPHY ⫻ Claudette takes a page from Albert Einstein and says that her life philosophy at its basis is to create satisfaction for herself and other people and to create something from nothing. This means that the only way she'll be happy is by learning and finding out about herself, and her past that she didn't know. Not just for the sake of it, because it's something that she's passionate about.

SECRETS ⫻ Well, Claudette doesn't go around announcing that she's being hunted by demons, that's for sure.

SEXUALITY ⫻ Claudette is a lesbian but she has a harder time getting attached to people because of her last relationship going... a little wrong.

FEARS ⫻ The Apparitions that hunt her want her body and she has nary a clue about what they're going to do to her once they catch her. Some have expressed some very... perverted interest in her but they say that they primarily want her body. And she doesn't want to see what'll happen afterward. Because of this, Claudette is deathly afraid of the Occult and doesn't want to dabble in it. She only uses her abstraction as a means to an end but afterward, she desires getting rid of it.

REPUTATION ⫻ Claudette is an outsider to Tampa and even if she wasn't; she'd probably be a nobody. What is notable however is that she seems to have a reputation for chaos following her where ever she goes.

FLAWS ⫻ Claudette is jumpy, prone to panic, and more importantly, she's undergone plenty of trauma from the fact that she was being hunted by monsters for the last while. She's obsessed with breaking the curse and will go to any length to do so, even if it means giving up her metaphorical humanity. Because of the fact that the curse was shunted onto Claudette by somebody, she trusted and even loved; she has a harder time trusting people. More importantly of all, she hates betrayal.

_{Backstory
^{▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔}}
"I'll never let myself get betrayed again."

As a kid, Claudette was a bit weird.

She grew up in Montreal, Canada in one of the many impoverished areas, but her parents tried to give everything for her. Working day and night so she'd have food in her mouth and a roof over her head. This was perfect for the girl as she went to school but felt much discrimination because of her race. The girl was an outcast and she didn't have too much family to go to. However, she was still a very compassionate and kind girl growing up that desired to help people and socialize. Mainly she had a soft spot for the other children that were in the same boat as her and were being abused or were having a hard home life. The girl was very studious as a youth and pursued learning whenever she could - even though the people who looked down on her and even her friends said that wasn't for her. They expected her to act like some loud-mouthed ghetto thug-like in the movies but Claudette that wasn't for her. She wanted to find her own sense of identity, and learn as much as she can. The girl looked online to other black people for advice and other ways to express her culture. Though Claudette found herself spending plenty of time online for her social interactions, her parents found it concerning but it was better than nothing.

The girl had a heavy presence in social media gaining experiences from other people and more. Though it kinda involved her arguing against idiots online to her agitation. However, browsing the internet is how Claudette felt something for females - every time she saw a girl suggestively posing or dressed risque it elicited feelings that she didn't get from looking at similar pictures from men. Claudette kept this to herself, obviously. For years the girl had a crisis with her gender identity as she didn't know exactly what she was or what she wanted to be. Mainly caused by her attraction to females that her parents previously instilled was boyish. In addition, there was the fact that growth spurt she had was colossal and many made fun of her for being boyish. Every time her parents got a hint of this they told her that she needed to get away from the computer talking to weirdos. This only made Claudette sigh.

After graduating high school, however, Claudette decided to leave Montreal for America as she wanted to travel the world along with helping people. Claudette applied to many different schools including Harvard and Yale; she had the GPA to back it up so why not... but she, unfortunately, couldn't get in, and they also didn't have the degree that she was looking for. Eventually, she expanded her horizons to trying to apply to every school out there until she managed to get into the University of Chicago's Social Worker program. That was where Claudette was free to explore herself as a woman and become her true self and she finally came to the realization that she wasn't into guys like that. Instead, she was into women and she eventually openly expressed her sexuality on social media and beyond. And she settled on being a woman except with some genderfluidity. Claudette moved on through classes and eventually she graduated from the University of Chicago after attaining her degree in Social Work and a Minor in ASL.

And mountains of debt from her student loans!

Ultimately, Claudette chose to settle down in New York and become a social worker. The girl was able to get a pretty high paying job with her master's degree and so on she lived a high life in New York. Even though her apartment was tiny and cheap, she has frequented the art scene and attended many festivals. In the meantime, she has dated girls on and off but she hadn't found the right one until she ran into a girl at the bar. Her name was Maxine Carter and they were the perfect match as both of them were studious and compassionate women - but Claudette felt like Maxine was only into her because she was "exotic". Still, Maxine was her only real girlfriend and after a few months, they finally went through with it...

... But, Claudette woke up tied to a bed and naked. Covered in symbols and pentagrams.

That was when Maxine dropped the bomb on her: she never loved Claudette and she was only playing her. Maxine told Claudette that there was a curse on her that attracted monsters and all sorts of nastiness - all because one of her ancestors was a magician and had some unfulfilled pacts. But the curse could be passed onto another female through a ritual and so Maxine set up a trap and Claudette fell for it. Afterward, Maxine left her and Claudette screamed until someone called the police and they came to free her. Claudette told them that Maxine was some kind of satanist and tried to sacrifice her to a demon and fled - which put the police on her tale.

Claudette went home, defeated, and tried to sleep it off... that was when a shadowy being approached her. He told her that she was marked for sacrifice and then attacked her. She screamed and thrashed as she tried to haul ass and eventually caught the attention of the police... who came and saw nothing. The shadowy being was gone and Claudette was in the corner in the fetal position shivering. Talking crazy and the police took her in for questioning and she kept speaking about a mysterious attacking. They were about to throw her into the slammer when the thing attacked her again... except it wasn't alone. They ravaged the police station and Claudette had to haul ass to get away from them.

They attacked her endlessly at complete random... telling her that they wanted her body, but would have their fun with her first. It felt like a game to Claudette as she was terrorized for a while and they always let her getaway. Claudette went on the run, going from place to place, but they'd always follow her and cause chaos. Though, this wouldn't go unnoticed as she got the attention of a girl named Kimberly Walton. This girl introduced herself as a Ghost Hunter and supernatural expert... who effortlessly ran off one of the attacks with merely a camera. Claudette was informed of the world unknown: the hidden world of the supernatural and why they were attacking her. Kimberly explained that she was an Afflicted and would help her break the curse no matter the cost. Most importantly Kimberly taught her the art of sealing an apparition inside of an object and what would happen if she touched it.

In their attempts to test sealing Claudette sealed her main tormented into a book. He introduced himself as the Witch's Darkness and said that he was the servant of powerful Witch ages ago that made a deal with him and many others: a deal that went unfulfilled so now whoever has her curse has to deal with them. This was strange, but Claudette learned that Kimberly was filming their exploits and putting it live. She felt like she was absolutely betrayed by Kimberly and took the book and just left. She definitely didn't want to be objectified like the girl was making her.

More importantly of which, Claudette wanted to test this ability - and she convinced the Witch's Darkness to give her his power. She used her sealing techniques and her new Abstraction to combat the Apparitions after her and eventually got them off of her. However, more began to come and she went to darker, more depraved, corners in order to break the curse as the curse wears down on her sanity. She heard about a Coven in Florida that she knew was going to help her...

_{Abstraction
^{▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔}}
"Darkness is a force... I now force the forces."

TYPE ⫻ Aberration (Agent)

ABSTRACTION ⫻ The Witch's Darkness, Claudette can produce a smoky black darkness-like substance that absorbs the energy out of whatever enters it.

ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻ The Darkness was the Witch's favorite Apparition and her most loyal servant. Mainly because of his ability to interfere with other Extra-Normal abilities and formed an almost literal dark-spot in reality. The Darkness has formed a new pact with Claudette and allows her to use his powers long as she frees him by the end. The Darkness's power is creating a strange, smoky, black substance that drains the energy out of all it comes in contact with. Heat, sound, kinetic, electricity, it all goes dead as it's drained and then scattered all over the multiverse harmlessly. This isn't an instant process as it requires a few moments to fully disappear, but provided it stays in the darkness it'll die out. This allows her to lessen attacks from fire, electricity, and even projectiles as the darkness eventually cause them to lose momentum and then fall. If she uses her darkness on an area for a while it'll eventually chill as all heat will be gone. Most notably of all it deafens sound and she uses this aspect the most as she wraps the darkness around herself to mask her footsteps. The Witch's Darkness can be freely controlled by Claudette and she can create large amounts of it - enough to blanket several city blocks. The Darkness blocks out light and acts as a near-perfect smokescreen.

AURA SENSING ⫻ Notably, Claudette doesn't have an aura-sensing ability of her own, but she has the ability to negate another aura sensing by wrapping it inside of her darkness. No being will be able to utilize their aura reading as long as the darkness is around them.

LIMITS ⫻ Now, Claudette cannot directly use her ability on other Extra-Normal beings. So for example; she can eat the heat from a pyromancer but there's nothing stopping him from going up and punching her in the face. The ability does nothing to stop direct physical abilities at all. The Witch's Darkness ability to eat energy isn't instant and depending on how much energy it'll take more time. She could stop a rock thrown at her but she'll definitely do nothing against bullets as they go too fast and will cut through the darkness. At best it'll only dampen attacks and certain other feats. Great feats of power like massive fireballs can actually destroy the Darkness as it'll be far too much power for it to handle. In addition, the more darkness that Claudette creates, the less effective it'll generally be at sapping energy. If she creates a ball of darkness the size of marble it can pretty much instantly sap energy from whatever it touches. Though it can't sap energy from what it doesn't touch.

WEAKNESSES ⫻ Claudette's darkness affects her as well as the environment. She cannot see through the darkness and it'll absorb the heat out of her body if she's in it as well. It'll sap some of her heat just from creating it and it has the nasty habit of sending her cellphone's charge to a different universe. There's also the fact that Claudette is cursed and being hunted by Apparitions and other nasty beings that want her soul, body, and everything else she has. She has learned how to beat them back but this isn't a good thing.

Claudette from her nice little shady spot looked to the left, and then looked to the right. Everyone was making their little plan she could tell... however, she was getting bored with them meandering. And if she of all people was getting bored then they were probably bored to tears. She yawned as she got up and then shouted,

"Alright, go!" As her way of signaling for the match to start.

"... Oh man where the sun even go? Why it all dark? Oh hey-- haaaay, girl."

Hector

Claudette immediately whipped around to see a shorter-than-her, musclebound, Spanish man that looked like he was either high out of his mind or drunk. Either way, Claudette's "Florida Man" senses were screaming... as she reached into her purse and pulled out her taser. "Please, stay back!" She said as she pulled the trigger and the taser-shocker-part-thingy went flying towards him.

She was aiming for his center of mass but who knows where it could end up.

”How...are you gonna throw us?”

Kara

"... Like this!"

Madison said as she grabbed onto Kara by her forearm as she activated the Jaws.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

She screamed at the very top of her lungs as she swung Kara around like she was one big human-sized shot-put and spun around as she just yeeted her at the flag hard as she could. With the intention of her getting there before - or just as - Isla the Rambling Glasgow Weirdo got there. Something was satisfying about throwing a human being like a shot-put. Kara went flying through the air and the very second that Madison let go of Kara, she turned towards Maya.

"... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

She screamed as she grabbed onto Maya (who contributed by screaming herself) by the back of her shirt and her shorts (but not like in a gay way or anything). Madison cocked Maya back and also yeeted her at the flag... except higher up into the air. Madison watched Maya fly through the air and dive bomb the flag like the world's angriest eagle... as she hiccuped loudly.

Then she turned towards Grace and pointed forward. "I don't wanna throw you, sis! Get me to the flag with your power!"

Everyone was moving towards the flag as Madison shouted.

"Hurry up!"

"Actually I was thinkin' the opposite, my power? I make stuff glow orange. Anyway-- which one of yall- Is most likely to draw the most attention versus who the least? I get the feelin' they gonna focus on her-- and you - which is good. I notice whenever you open your mouth errbody look atcha. Anyway, that mean whoever ain't gonna get noticed will be the person I'mma use my other spell-thing on. I bet it's you, huh? If they focus on you n' Pop-Up-Ad, I can make them HELLA focus on y'all..."

Mariah

If Emily had to be completely honest; she could barely understand half of what Mariah was talking about. Maybe it was because she was a white girl but she couldn't help but tilt her head sideways as she talked. One eyebrow was raised as Emily was pretty certain that Mariah had a plan for sneaking around to getting the flag. And honestly, she didn't care enough to ask her to - um - speak English. Well, that, and the fact that she didn't want to offend a Latina person's English.

"... Sure thing!" Emily said in her chipper secretary voice.

Vashti was getting serious... she took off the scarf and everything. Showing off her weird scaly arms, and Emily was just reminded to ask about that lizard form. "... Are you sure it's safe for you to play?" Emily nervously asked because the last thing she wanted was for an incident to-

"Alright, go!"

Claudette

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Madison

Emily couldn't help but jump when she heard Madison screaming like she had just taken twenty doses of heroin and mixed it with some vodka and she turned her head to see... Kara and Maya flying through the air. She raised an eyebrow as she was honestly confused as to what the fuck their plan here was. Okay, she was going to focus on her objective: Maya. Emily stuck her finger out and her green tethered extended and attached themselves to the ground as far as they could go.

Now she tested a bit with her tethers and discovered that they could move her too. Though it was just a little bit of testing and whatnot... now would be the best time to, well, practice with it. She hopped up into the air a bit and let the tethers yank her forward a bit...

... The only problem was the landing. She didn't exactly time putting her foot down and telling her little magic power to stop. When Emily tried to put her foot down she was still pulling herself forward and she landed face-first on the ground with her hand still attached to the tethers. She was still getting pulled forward through the muddy ground until there was, well, no more tether to pull her.

”Well. Who’s going where? How do we decide leaders?”

Kara

"I'm going to trust you all to take initiative..." As bad of an idea that was. Claudette answered Kara as she took the flag back and held it in her hands. Maybe Kara was overthinking a bit but Claudette just thinks that she just needs to get used to the... special type of thinking that the Coven employs.

Well, if she doesn't run for the hills screaming.

"If that doesn't work, I'll choose who goes on what team- but it seems like everyone has worked that out," Claudette said as she looked over her shoulder as Herik and Maya more or less took over for their respective teams.

"I'll be watching the match..." Claudette said to the whole as she walked over to the treeline. "... To make sure that nothing goes wrong. I just have to ask everyone to remember we're training as a group. Not individually, so try not to ruin the match for everyone."

She created a ring of darkness overhead to block the harsh sun rays.

---

The Gay Grove.

---

"Considering you have a hard time getting along with most people, Emily, we can't let Madison or Maya on our team. You'll argue the whole time...."

Herik

Emily was totally on board with the first half of Herik's little speech. She was. The last thing that Emily wanted was Maya on her team... though, she thought that maybe having the flying brick on their team would be beneficial. There was something inside of her that just burned at the thought of taking orders from Herik, especially from a junior member of the Coven. She couldn't help but grimace a bit but she had to hold her tongue as she realized that maybe, it'll be beneficial for her in the long run. All she wants is her damn sister cured.

"...I think Isla would be a good member. Having her means an easy win, but we won't get much training if she can get it and come back."

Herik

"... No, no, no, please I don't want to deal with that weirdo," Emily said as she desperately didn't want that chick on her team. She didn't even care about winning, she just didn't want her on the team...

“... I can’t actually get it and come back right away… I can mostly just short distance teleport, so it won’t be that easy. If that’s alright I’m happy to join!”

Isla

And almost on fucking cue this weirdo appears out of nowhere right at their team. If only Herik didn't mention her first... if only Lyss didn't fucking let them throw her out again but it seems that Claudette's convinced that she's apart of the Coven. You know, despite it all. Emily rolled up into her head and facepalmed, hunched over, and loudly sighed.

"At least we don't have Quinn." Those two are probably off having sex in the woods.

"Uhuh--Yeah-- If she on your team? I'm on your team," Cause obviously she the game breaker--- I'm on your team, sis!"

Mariah

“Well, I guess that settles it! Good to be on your team! I can short distance teleport an awful lot, but the longer distance is more of a problem for me… so I won’t be able to just win the game for use! No need to worry about there being no training because of that.”

Isla

... Aaaaaaaaand, of course, Mariah doesn't help.

Emily stopped facepalming and decided to massage her temples as she realized that she was on a team of mostly newbies... of course. Fortunately, it seemed like some of them had an idea of what to do, but Emily was still unsure of Mariah and the obvious. Mariah because she just didn't know about her and her abstraction... of course she could always ask, however they seemed to be the best good so far.

Even if Emily, innately, just wanted to hit Maya in the face.

"Mar...iah...?" Emily said as if she was unsure of the chick's name, which she was but she wanted to sound at least somewhat nice. "What exactly can you do? Because far as I can tell all we have to do is have Isla teleport to the flag, haul ass, and we cover her... which will be made difficult by the likes of Madison and... Maya."

She shrugged.

"Eh, leave Maya to me."

The Gay Grove.

“We got enough for six people per team, so I need five more.”

Maya

"Four," Madison said with a grin as she placed a hand down on Maya's... before she loudly hiccuped in an unladylike fashion. She wasn't super competitive but she kinda wanted to win because she was certain that they had it in the bag. After all, they had that weirdo teleporter chick. Then again, this was all training. Madison leaned into Maya's ear as she quietly said, "I wouldn't count on Vashti doing anything, you can tell someone who's all-bark in a look." She chuckled.

Though, she did transform into a giant lizard monster... that got wrecked by the Outsider. Madison wanted to ask what that was about but she doesn't care for Vashti enough for it not to get misinterpreted. For now, she was going to help enact her plan to win, which was again, gonna be tough with Isla but there was something that probably only Madison knew about.

"Yo Grace, and the new girl, come here!" Madison called out to Grace and Kara... whose name that she honestly didn't know because she wasn't paying attention when she was introduced. If she was introduced. Either way, she hopefully won't be useless as a lot of the Coven sisters loved to be.

Then she spoke to Maya (and whoever else was there) and talked about her plan.

"Okay, so they're probably going to open up with that teleporter chick immediately warping over to the flag. If I get the flag, you damn well know they're not going to get it back. Problem is my sistas is that I won't be able to get over there in time, but Grace probably can and..."

Then she looked at Maya as she trailed off, unsure of the best way to phrase it. Honestly, she realized that she was going to sound crazy regardless of how she says it, so she'll just say it.

"... And I'm just gonna make a long story short and say I'm going to throw you at the flag."

She shrugged as she looked at Kara. "And what exactly can you do?" Madison knew that chucking a newbie was a terrible first impression to make. With Maya, Madison knew that girl was so batshit crazy that she'd be down for almost anything. Kara? She looks like she needs to loosen up a bit around the Coven... they are far from the most professional people in the world.
