@KahleenCuthald Awwww, shucks *blush* Thanks I try. I'm happy with our pairing as well. We seem to have clicked indeed I'll try to post tomorrow, during lunch break, or after work.

Epic City: Starburst

Regan's phone buzzed and made her jump. She was nervous as hell. It was the final day of Teagan's testing. The PART officer took the offender in her palm and unlocked the screen to discover a new message from Martha.

'Your shift must be over by now, sweetie, why don't you come on over and be a nervous wreck together with us while we wait? And when she's done you can go and get her and bring yourselves back here to celebrate.' The text read.

Regan couldn't help but grin. Only two weeks or so had passed since the snapper debacle but Martha had already adopted her as a sort of honorary daughter. The older woman was ecstatic about her relationship with Teagan and would grasp any opportunity to spend time with the two of them. And Megan was a constant presence, of course. The girl had also taken a liking to her, especially after Regan had introduced her to her father. Megan had been over the moon to meet a published writer. To make a long story short, Regan had been completely and utterly accepted into Teagan's family and the thought warmed her heart like nothing else. Just like Martha's utter belief that her daughter would pass the tests. Not that Regan doubted it. She was just nervous because of how she felt for Teagan. She wasn't nervous for her, rather with her.

'I'll be right over.' She typed in her reply with a smile on her face. The butterfly tornado in her belly, calming for a nanosecond.

A twenty-something minute drive later she found herself in the comforting embrace of Martha.

"Oh, sweetie, you're just like her. Getting nervous over tests and exams." Teagan's mother wrapped Regan's face in her palms, smiling benignly at her. "Quite the pair the two of you are." She winked at her with mirth in her eyes. "Now come. Megan needs a new victim to practice her drawing. I'm afraid she’s bored with Rory and me." She announced entering the living room.

Megan caught the tail end of her sentence and protested vigorously. "Not true, Mama Bear! It's just that to improve I need..."

"Yes, yes, diversity, I know. I'm just teasing you, baby girl." Martha interrupted her, smiling. "I've got your diversity right here." She said and shoved Regan forward.

Regan smiled, approached the girl and gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "How are you doing, Megs?" She signed. She'd been learning the language from Teagan and Megan for the past two weeks and was pleased with her progress.

"Your signing is improving." Megan praised her. "I'm a little nervous, but sketching helps." The girl shrugged and blushed a little. She made it a point to sign slowly when speaking with Regan so that the older woman could understand and learn.

Regan nodded. "Let's see if it'll help me." She set across Megan and posed. "Sketch away."

"She'll be fine, you know." Megan assured.

"Yes, I know. I just..." Regan didn't finish. She couldn't explain it.

"I understand." Megan signed and Regan smiled.

Teagan was waiting for her final test in the women's locker room of the ECPD's training facilities. She was trying to keep calm and failing miserably. The only thing that had kept her going was Regan's attempt the night before to encourage her, while looking green with nerves herself. It was an adorable sight that had Teagan flushing a little at the memory.

A knock on the door startled her out of her thoughts.

"Hayes, you're up." One of the female instructors popped her head in to announce.

Teagan nodded and stood up. All that was left was the hand to hand test. They'd told her it would be a threefold one. One on one, against multiple opponents, and against multiple opponents of superior strength where she would be allowed to use her environment and anything she found as weapon. She exited the locker room and headed for the gym where the tests were being held. Entering she took in the set up. There were the instructors that would act as attackers, and the ones that would be evaluating her performance. The gym's floor was matted with safety pads, like the ones you would find in a martial arts dojo. Teagan couldn't contain a grimace at the memory of the numerous tumbles she'd taken during her training with Regan. True, the mats absorbed much of the inertia of a fall, but you still needed to know how to fall correctly, or you could get really hurt. And Teagan had bruises upon her bruises.

"Candidate Heyes." The same female that had popped her head in the locker room called to Teagan. "Whenever you are ready." She gestured with her hand in invitation for Teagan to join her on the mat.

A grueling three hour testing session later she was finally done. She'd done well. She was satisfied with her performance. She'd hardly had any problems with the one on one and the multiple attacker simulations. The third scenario had been the real challenge, but she'd come out of it alright. She'd managed to subdue three of the attackers before the evaluators deemed she would have needed backup. Which apparently had been enough for her to pass. Now all that was left was paperwork and soon she would be officially an ECPD officer. She was ecstatic!

Her hands shook slightly when she dialed Regan's number to share the good news. She heard the dial tone and waited. The answer came with lightning speed. "I passed!" She blurted before Regan could say a thing.

"I'm coming." The PART officer answered with glee in her voice.

---

Regan made it to the ECPD training facilities in record time. She parked and launched herself at the waiting there Teagan.

"I don't know why I was so nervous." She mumbled in Teagan's shoulder. "I never doubted you'd pass." She said lifting her head to look up at Teagan.

"Ye were probably channeling me." Teagan grinned, playful glimmers dancing in her eyes. Now that the stress from the testing had passed she was back to her old cheeky self. "So..." She drawled. "Do I get a prize?" Teagan asked wiggling her eyebrows playfully.

Regan locked eyes with the older woman. And then focused on Teagan's lips. The tiny scar there, always calling to her. She leaned in, her gaze shifting again to Teagan's eyes. "Most certainly." She whispered millimeters from Teagan's lips. The ex-firefighter swayed gently, pulled towards Regan and was abruptly brought off balance when Regan stepped back. "But first we need to celebrate the occasion with your family." She stated, grinning from ear to ear.

Teagan took a second to curb the wild arousal that had surged through her body and squared Regan with a playful look of her own. "Ye know yer gonna pay fer that, right, Murphy." She threatened.

"Promises, promises." Regan laughed and opened the door of the car for Teagan.

The firefighter entered the vehicle without another word, allowing her arousal to simmer until she would unleash it with the full force of her pent up desires. Oh, she had plans alright! But first, she had good news to share with her family.

@KahleenCuthald Like I said, don't worry if you're not able to respond. Also I'm sorry my post was late in comming I was at a friend's wedding yesterday and had little time before that to brainstorm one

The 1st Magic Insurrection [NEW/ACCEPTING]

@FrankenDaughter I was actually thinking that with her being Captain in the Guild, it would be better for her to write under a nom de plume. Plus she's a private kinda person As for if Paulie would have read something of hers, regardless of knowing it's actually hers, I don't know. She's a niche writer, mystical/fantasy/fantastical with a touch of romance for good measure lesbian novels.

She's never been to the States. Mainly Eastern Europe and mostly Bulgaria, visiting with Mihaela. So who knows, if it's Guild knowledge about Poet, then I'll defer to the Guild leader Same with Alexandra Cooper's abduction and history. I'm not sure how the different country chapters of the Guild work and how centralized the information is.

Aikido is like origami, only with people.

Name: Róisín Mihaela O'Shea /People usually call her Ro, friends also call her Mik/

Gender: Female

Age: 33

Alignment: Guild

Rank within Organisation: Captain

Birthmark Shape: A star tetrahedron /merkaba/



Location of Birthmark: Right above her fourth chakra - the heart

Magical Abilities: Aura manipulation. This ability allows her to heal or cause harm by manipulating the aura of a person. Her powers are affected by proximity, direct contact or no contact, amount of concentration used. With direct contact the effect of her powers is the strongest and most immediate. She can heal/harm very rapidly by touch, slower and with greater concentration needed at a distance. Also to be able to manipulate someone's aura at a distance she needs to have personally met her target and come into physical contact even if a brief one. At long distances her powers can still have effect, however she needs to be in a deep meditative state for them to work.

People who practice eastern philosophies like yogis and the like will be able to rebuff the effects of her powers if they willed it enough and sensed her attempts to heal or harm. In essence a person would need a good understanding of the concept behind auras as well as an ability of their own, even if rudimentary, to manipulate their own auras, to be able to stop the effects of her powers, or weaken them, depending on their ability.

She cannot bring people back from the dead and can only heal terminal diseases with multiple healing sessions. This applies to the harmful side of her powers as well. She can severely weaken and even render someone unconscious, but she cannot insta-kill with her powers. With enough time and malicious intent however she can cause a fatal illness.

She has incorporated perfectly the tactile use of her aura manipulation while practicing her aikido.

Place of Birth: Dublin, Ireland

Currently Residing: En route to New York

Personality and Appearance: Ro was always an adorable child. Be it in looks or in personality. She was sweet, well mannered, polite, gentle, caring and attentive. Of course, she had her wild, naughty moments as any child did. Because she was more conscientious that her peers though those moments were few and far in between and were limited to a couple of piercings and tattoos her mothers had learned to live with. In Emily and Mihaela's eyes, their daughter's true beauty began to shine once she hit puberty and even more so when that period ended.

At thirty-three Ro is a petite young woman at 5'4 with the body of a long time martial arts practitioner. She is fit and athletic, with good muscle definition. Because of her petite frame however she can never look masculine with her fit build, but is deceptively strong and capable. She has long, wavy brown hair and mystical hazel eyes that shift their color depending on her mood or the light, or even the color of her clothes. Her face is almost pixie-like, pointed at the chin, delicate and honest.

When people look they see a young kid at no more than twenty-five, sweet and innocent. Naive even. They would be, of course, sourly mistaken. Ro is anything but naive. And although sweet and retaining her childish innocence, she is very much so an adult. A deep thinker. A person with a very inquisitive mind and a very caring heart. She is warm and loving, and is quick to offer help. A predisposition which lends itself perfectly to her powers of aura manipulation. Which she uses almost exclusively to heal.

If Ro has a bad side, no one has ever discovered it, and thankfully so. Because however calm and collected she is, she is a very passionate individual. And that passion could push her either way. Of course there is a reason no one had ever been on her bad side. Being as calm and collected as she is, Ro has learned to temper her more darker moods and keep them in check. She is not perfect, of course. Her anger is a sight to behold should someone manage to get her their. Which generally happens when people she loves are being threatened. She also has a passionate distaste for innocent people being harmed in any way and is liable on rare occasions to jump before she looks.

She also has a wicked, somewhat sharp sense of humor, as well as a naughty, raunchy-ish side to her that few people ever get to see.

History/Bio: Róisín was born to a single mother Emily O'Sea née Corrigan. Ro's father had died shortly after her conception in a car accident, which he'd caused while driving drunk. Her mum, Emily often wondered in the early years if she regretted not being able to tell him he was to become a father, or if it his death was a blessing in disguise. As horrible as that thought was she had to wonder what kind of a father he would have been with his propensity to overindulge with the juice of the barley. Or maybe he would have turned his life around once he'd learned he was going to be a dad. But apparently it was not to be. And Ro grew up with only her mother to take care of her up until her eleventh year.

It was right about that time when some major events in her and her mum's life occurred. But most pressing of them all was Ro's emerging powers, which began awakening with Róisín's passing from girlhood to womanhood. When her puberty hit Ro's emotional state and her moods began to act as conduits for her powers.

Also the largely Catholic Ireland was not the best place for a young mother struggling with her sexual identity. Nor was it the ideal place for her young daughter who, completely separately from her mother, had similar problems of her own. Magnified by her puberty and the fact that in her fragile state Ro tended to internalize a lot, her powers wreaked havoc with her health. At first it was mostly problems related to the female anatomy and explainable with her puberty. But when the problems became too frequent Emily started to worry about her little girl. She forgot her own problems as any good parent would and focused solely and entirely on her daughter.

This led to the second big occurrence in the lives of mother and daughter. The day they met Mihaela Nikolova. A pediatrician who had immigrated to Ireland from her home country Bulgaria in nineteen ninety-three and had spent two years taking equivalency tests to be allowed to practice medicine in Ireland.

One day, when Ro's health had taken a turn for the worst, Emily had rushed her daughter in the Emergency Department of the nearest hospital. Mihaela was the doctor who'd attended to them. She was also the one to realize that the young girl was harming herself, although not intentionally. Mihaela was able to determine that because she was a magic user with the gift of medical/healing insight. She could tell a person's maladies by touch. And with her medical education she was able to intuit the best possible treatment.

In the course of a couple of weeks she managed to break the news to Emily about what her daughter was and what they needed to do, so that Ro would not get sick again. It wasn't an easy road. At first Emily was resistant to the notion of magic and magic users. Who wouldn't be in this day and age. But little by little, with patience and genuine concern Mihaela managed to break through Emily's defenses and convince her of the reality of the situation.

This was how it began. Ro's new life with not one mother, but two. Because in the process of taking care of her, the two women had grown close. They'd started off as friends, but their connection grew stronger and stronger, until neither of them could deny it any more. By then Ro had grown to love Mihaela and was all but ecstatic when Emily had fearfully broken the news to her daughter. That she was a lesbian and had fallen in love with Mihaela, and that Mihaela returned her feelings.

From there on their family was complete, even if recognized only by themselves and like-minded individuals. And Mihaela had begun training Róisín to control her awakening powers. She'd also confided in Emily and Ro about the existence of the Guild of which she was a member. And of the other side of the coin. Or of the magic users who were hell bent on mage world domination. At the age of eighteen Róisín became an official recruit of the Guild.

During her entire childhood Ro was a quiet, calm and collected child with a sense of purpose and possessing a self-awareness uncommon for her age. Nowadays people would come to recognize children like her as indigo children. Incredibly intuitive. Empathetic, curios and strong-willed and possessive of a very strong innate spirituality. This was all true for Róisín as well. Pretty soon she showed interest in the written word and the art of writing and crafting stories. She was gifted too. So Emily and Mihaela sought to encourage that talent. And when it came time for Ro to choose a life-path, she decided to study English and Creative Writing. As a highly spiritual child with a healthy physical disposition her parents also tried to find for her a suitable sports activity. The answer came with Aikido. It was non-aggressive, it held in itself strong philosophical teachings, and was physically demanding as well.

Today she holds an undergraduate degree in English Studies and a Masters in Creative Writing from Trinity College. She's an uprising young author, with three published novels that have garnered some success, she has third dan black belt in Aikido and is the apple of both her mothers' eyes.

Relationships
Aloysius Leighton:

Relationship: Best Friends - Good Friends - Friends - Well known - Warm - Acquaintances - Unknown - Cold - Dislikes - Hates - Enemies - Rival - Nemesis

Characters opinion of them: As a Captain in the Guild Ro of course knows who Aloysius Leighton is. Or at least she knows about him through the eyes of the Guild. She has no personal knowledge about the man and given the chance would like to find out who he is and why he is the way he is. Because after a certain point in our life we tend to become the sum of our experiences and she wants to know what would bring a man or a woman to welcome and live by such extreme ideals of hate and oppression.

---

Rose Miller:

Relationship: Best Friends - Good Friends - Friends - Well known - Warm - Acquaintances - Unknown - Cold - Dislikes - Hates - Enemies - Rival - Nemesis

Characters opinion of them: Every member of the Guild knows who Rose Miller is! She is their leader and in the eyes of many members, a sort of god figure. Not Ro. All her knowledge about Rose is second hand or even further down the line. And Ro preferres to get to know someone personally. Without risking someone else's views skewing the picture of the person she is trying to figure out. She does have a healthy dose of respect for what the woman has accomplished.

Olivia Turner:

Relationship: Best Friends - Good Friends - Friends - Well known - Warm - Acquaintances - Unknown - Cold - Dislikes - Hates - Enemies - Rival - Nemesis

Characters opinion of them: Ro doesn't know her.

Alexandra Pauline Cooper:

Relationship: Best Friends - Good Friends - Friends - Well known - Warm - Acquaintances - Unknown - Cold - Dislikes - Hates - Enemies - Rival - Nemesis

Characters opinion of them: Ro doesn't know her.

The 1st Magic Insurrection [NEW/ACCEPTING]

Seeing how Ro's an Irish lass I don't think she can have any relationships with the current cast, but still if you guys want to discuss any preexisting relationships, I'm open. For now I'm just gonna fill her relations sheet with 'unknown' or 'familiar with'.

@jakeb1993@codex I went with Captain for her rank in the Guild, but if you think it's too much I'll be happy with a member too I could elaborate on her participation in the Guild in her bio if you decide to let her keep the rank. Also, hope you like mah girl

@KahleenCuthaldI don't bite... Hard Oh, who am I kidding, yes I do!

You just get better and don't feel obliged to post when you're not feeling well. I'll patiently occupy myself with something else while I wait And besides, the post is perfect!

The 1st Magic Insurrection [NEW/ACCEPTING]

@Old Amsterdam knows I love and stalk him But I found this well enough on my own and am here to express a tentative interest, until I have time to read through the lore and decide if I'll labour to produce a CS

Edit: Okay, color me firmly interested. I'll be working on a CS today after work. I'm thinking something with aura manupulation for her powers - healing mostly, but able to harm as well, and other asorted effects I can come up with as long as they meet with the GMs aproval.
