Remington McCleur

Standing away from the compacted bodies of disgruntled, bewildered, and otherwise panic state of the students clustered in the room, Remy hugging himself into the tiniest ball he could muster while trying not to hyperventilate as the discussion continued. He was overwhelmed... it wasn't his intention to come to this meeting, knowing there would be so many students attending. And, of course, he had no idea why there was a gathering at the beginning... But he was hoping to see that one face present and accounted for that day. He didn't see Yuri that morning and that worried him.

Really, you shouldn't be worried about someone you're not really...really attached to, right? He's...just a friend after all. Remy kept telling himself, trying not to look hopeful or anything of the sort about the adorable Korean he'd met years ago when he enrolled at The Institution. But it was quite clear to everyone who knew him that the young Witch was taken.

He was lucky to have met him, because, to be honest, Remy had no idea why he was there. Compared to all the other students there, he was the runt of the litter - barely a noticeable speck in the magical spectrum. But his last foster family believed there was something special in him and took the liberty to pay for his tuition for the remainder of his school year. Generous, but a cause for curiosity, because Remy didn't see any reason to believe - whatever poppycock they believed in. He wasn't That special. He was just a nervous wreck...

Like, for instance, right now! As the heightened emotions began to rise in the room at the announcement of their supposed - planned demise, Remy's senses began to quake and threaten to boil over. He knew he shouldn't have come, but this was important... And he really wanted to see Yuri. For some reason, that guy just knew how to keep his emotions in check. Remy wasn't sure if it was just his presence, his tone of voice, or his aura; but when he finds himself in situations such as this, Yuri's presence was a stronger shield than his own.

Wrapping himself tighter within his aura shield, Remy still felt as if he was drowning in the frustrations and doom radiating from his peers - and he understood why. He felt the same but tried his best not to feel anything of the sort about this threat they will have to face. Madame Muir has always seemed too good to be true in his eyes. He's never been able to read her thoughts or emotions - of course, but in order to gain trust from your students, a teacher has to show some amount of humility and trust themselves. Apparently, she didn't wish to trust her soul to the very people that would one day fuel her. That thought alone forced Remy's body to involuntarily shiver in disgust.

I've got to...get out of here, Remy's feet began to move backward on their own accord and he tightened his arms around himself to keep his senses intact. He'll talk to Yuri, or Ivy, about the plans made later. It would be in everyone's best interest if he wasn't there; this emotionally weak... But before he could take another step, Remy sense a warm aura moving towards him - it was small, but familiar and instantly curved the corners of his lips gleefully.

The light touch of a moth landed on his shoulder, and - like magic - Remy's heartbeat slowed its pace, his emotions calmed down to a flutter of his own, and the drowning sensation of the emotional states of the student body dwindled in his mind. Remy took a deep breath when he felt Yuri's warm arms wrap around him and his gentle kisses cool him down. When Yuri's sultry voice declared that all would be well, he believed him. "I hope so... This is not going to go well for us if everyone continues to prepare for the worse though."

With his mind and heart easing at Yuri's presence, Remy began to concentrate upon the others in the room. He rarely did this without permission, but even Madame Muir would state that, at times, it's necessary for success... Focusing, Remy stretched his aura across the room, touching upon the few students who were in shock, crying profusely, or angrily attempting to create a mob to attack Madame Muir in her slumber that night. When the mass of emotions calmed and the students began to focus on devising a plan, Remy's form slacked against the taller form behind him, slightly drained but happy to help out in some way.

Listening to Yuri, the other Voodoo student, Lithiuna, and Muir's daughter, Emelia, speak about ways to protect everyone; Remy stood silent until he felt the need to say something. "How are we all going to get there, or anywhere for that matter? I mean... I, for one, would love to get the hell out of here right now..."

Personality: (INFJ - The Councilor, The Advocate)

Hider

Mysterious/Private, Emotionally Intelligent, Intuitive, Perfectionist, Procrastinator, Charismatic, Perceptive, Sophisticated, Judgmental, Focused, Complicated, Confusing, Accident Prone, Listener, Paranoid.

Strength/Weakness: (When it comes to Bianka, both are one of the same).

Bianka is of a different sort, to the extent of being confusing, contradictory, or on a whole different wavelength. She's quite intelligent in her own right and capable of deep thought, but her mind just functions differently. It's best to understand her better through her journals.

Focused – Every portion of her being is set towards her future plans, and nothing will change it… she’ll make sure of it, one way or another. Although… her ambitions are high, and she’s always setting her expectations even higher, everything continues to alter around her and throws all her plans out of place. Especially now; Florida wasn’t in her plans, but she’s getting used to things changing before her eyes these days.

Intuition – She can subconsciously understand things, or sense happenings, without truly understanding why. She has a difficult time explaining this to others, which makes her feel more isolated due to misunderstanding.

Perfectionist, yet a Procrastinator (extremely high expectation and unrealistic goals) – Bianka strives for perfection but fears failure. Due to this, she’ll avoid doing what she should do, failing from inactivity - even though it’s something anyone can easily do.

Bianka tends to absorb other people’s emotions and interpret them as her own feelings. It happens more when she’s already overwhelmed and disjointed from herself. The excess of emotions disrupts her otherwise warm optimism and stresses her body and mind. She'll request a spa day.

She is quite private about her own emotions and thoughts, feeling that it’s best to keep them to herself – no one understands the ramblings of her mind and heart anyway. She barely understands them herself. Through her writing mostly, Bianka will open up and create deep emotional and intimate connections with others. So, if you find a delicately written letter, scented with ginger and jasmine, and full of heartfelt feelings unheard, then you've just had an encounter with the elusive Bianka.

She seriously gravitates towards people in need – or people she believes are in need. Anka sees the good in others but believes she can rescue them from themselves. She’ll fight for what’s right, even if her methods are not entirely – right. She feeds off their pity but is compassionate enough to help them out of their woes.

Moodiness, but can hide their emotions well. However, at times, Bianka will explode with raw emotion and throw herself a pity party and invite anyone within a 50-mile radius. Due to high stress or an overload of others' emotions, Anka can become clumsy and out of focus, and.

Bianka can be overly critical to others, offering her opinion far too many times. She believed herself to be helpful to her friends, but she’s practically borderline cruel. Bianka just wants the best for those around them, but they do more harm than good.

Due to having the uncanny ability to read people well, Bianka will use this to their advantage, emotionally manipulating others in order to gain what she wants.

Abilities:

Hider

Common – Energy drain, emotional manipulation, telepathy, levitation, agelessness.

Enhanced Self-Replication – Bianka can create a duplicate of herself that can move and speak independently through her telepathic connection to her clone. The funny thing is, Bianka pumps her ideal self within her duplicate whenever she has to be involved in a large group event or when she crosses people with poor, negative energies. As her twin manages the crowd, she’ll find herself a smaller, more enthusiastic group to play with.

---

Likes/Dislikes:
Focused on Value beauty and quality – in everything. Sophistication, high quality, good craftsmanship with everything. Beauty is calming, minimalist.

Bianka can’t deal with criticism and tends to fall from grace rather than fight for her positioning and reasoning behind her choices. That failure turns her from optimistic to frustrated and depressed. To fail before others is just as bad as failing within.

Loves her alone time – preferably in a hot tub with rose and jasmine, with a tall glass of wine, and incents. It would be even better if she was also being pampered by any creature of choice for the night.

Good with languages, vast creativity, prefers writing over speaking due to being lost in translation. She loves writing poetry, self-help books, and fiction based on her experiences growing up in the slums of India.

Is a volunteer – where she volunteers depends on what mood she’s in and where she feels she is needed the most. The animal shelter, the nursing home, the food bank, tending to drug babies in the hospitals…

History:

Hider

Bianka was born in India in 1906 as the daughter of a street physician and a shopkeeper. She was kidnapped at age 12 by a twisted psychic vampire who was a street entrepreneur. Her uncanny beauty turned his thoughts towards profiting off her so they can gain fortune - and more souls to steal. He offered her a new life if she served him for life. Hoping to return to her family, Bianka accepted to become his familiar.

Her sire taught her about everything as they traveled. He drilled her on poise, speech, languages, science, world history, and world politics, as well as art, photography, dance, music. He wanted her to be well-rounded - a power that heightens her already powerful features. When she was 15, he began promoting her as a model, hoping her natural looks would instantly gain attention. Some would ignore her age, but rarely anyone would ask because, at 15, Bianka already carried herself as if she was 19 - 20 years old.

Eventually, after her sire gained the success he wanted, and Bianka reached 20 years old, he turned her - as promised. Truly, after so many years with her sire, traveling the world, Bianka realized if she stayed with her family, she would have been married off at 14 and had 8 children by now. Becoming one of the hottest models in Europe was better than anything she could imagine. But the cost of such success and fame for an Indian woman was far more than she cared for. And worse, the life of a Psychic vampire wasn't exactly how her Sire told her, but it was better than death.

Throughout her travels, she ended up being separated from her sire. She returned to India jumped into volunteer work. She began working for a women's welfare group in Champaran, Bihar where Kasturba Gandhi, Mahatma Gandhi's wife, happens to be teaching. The call to fight against British rule caught her interest, so Bianka followed Kasturba and her entourage. With Gandhi, she's been in and out of jail but always side by side with the movement promoting freedom. The Gandhis' were like family, but when Kasturba passed in 1944, Bianka lost interest in fighting for freedom and wanted to leave India for good.

After a while, Bianka decided to attend college in India, and there she met Qarin Kunal (who was going by Max at the time) and his group of friends - someone she actually knew quite well, but he did not know her. She recalled in her travels with the Gandhis that he was their fourth great-grandson from their second son. She even recalled a time or two, meeting the man as a child, then a young teen. Feeling a connection with him then and now, she decided to befriend him and eventually explain a few things to him about who she is, and what she wants him to become. Of course, he didn't believe her, but deep down... he knew she wasn't lying. Those eyes - no one was dumb enough to forget those gems, right? Eventually, he trusted her enough to learn more about her. And soon, a friendship - and a contract - was created.

Bianka stuck with the guys after college. Since they had dibs on a local nightclub, she was in pure paradise - the nightly excitement generated there was her daily dose of pure energy. And when they began to perform there, Bianka knew she had a goldmine waiting for her to excavate. So, her proposal - she assists the guys with various promotions, marketing, accounting, legal, and any other business needs - as their manager. And all she wanted was to stay close to Qarin. With her aid, she helped Khoj Arth grow into one of the hottest nightclub alternate rock bands in India.

She's stayed with the group through their ups and downs. When they eventually moved to America, they landed in Florida, of all places. It wasn't ideal for Bianka, but it was the group's choice. Besides, if they didn't move there, she would never have met her new group of friends.

---

Other:
Bianka loves anything of beauty and quality - from fine furniture, jewelry, food, clothes, anything. She prefers to surround herself with a few beautiful things worthy of quality, then tons of little trinkets of no necessary value or quality. One hundred years of living taught her that quality lasts longer than quantity.

Wondering, who else is still participating? If anyone needs an intro into the story, I can have Remy or Lithy mention them, like sitting beside them or something, to give them an opening.

Let me know if anyone needs this boost. I'll add it into Remy's post - they can be sitting beside them. Or, in Lithy's next post, I can have them come stand beside her or sit beside her...when she sits back down. Amos can take over their lap and say hi. He likes attention when he's being more like himself (a regular cat) and not like Ogun.

Alrighty, I've posted for Lithy!

Will get something going for Remy tomorrow... hopefully. I've got to get my thoughts about him figured out before doing so.

Modern Mages IC

Lithiuna Malorram

This is not what I signed up for!

It's been eight years... Eight years after Lithiuna left her Grand Aunt to live and study at The Institute in Scotland. She considered it a privilege and an honor to study New World Magic under the watchful eye of Madame Muir, Supreme Witch within this era; one she's only learned about since moving to Europe from Haiti years ago. Lithy enjoyed her time there - finding herself and strengthening her skills, making friends while learning what this new magic can do with her Old World Voudou. She's even assisted in the study of her ancient practice by explaining the differences between what she knows and the New World Voodoo she's learned about during a trip to America to visit her uncle. Which has been a great experience, except for times when she butts heads with others who disagree with this difference. Nevertheless, she loves The Institute and everything she's gained from it.

But this new insight about their beloved Mistress... The rush of dark memories from her childhood flooded her as she listened to Emelia read over the contents of her mother's diary. Chills ran down her spine and the sudden need to flee almost overtook her. But their faces... all the fear and disbelief she saw within the faces of her classmates and friends gave her the courage to stay seated in the dining room with the rest of their elite student body. Most of them questioned their Mistress's reasons for wishing for their demise. Others feared how they could possibly survive against such a powerful Witch. As the questions rose, most of the emotions swarming around them were pure anger and fear - We all trusted her... kept repeating in Lithy's mind. Lithy wanted answers - was this Muir's intentions all along; to call upon such fresh, raw talents, cultivate them into powerful beings - only to suck them dry for her own personal desires? Lithy felt used, degraded, and fucking angry for being deceived. She wanted to build a plan, hunker down in the deep, dark earth and hide from the world until she can come up with a solution to this - madness! This was worse than growing up as an Albino in Haiti - constantly fearing for her life. Apparently, nothing has changed...

"Oh, God! If she wants to kill us, how can we stop her? She could kill us all at the same time, no sweat."

"She's exhausted and could barely make it to bed," Emelia noted."Now's our chance to shield ourselves." At that declaration, everyone seemed to calm down and focused on her words. "I'm taking us all to the Black Hill Top outside just outside town. It's a good place for protection spells. I already have the rest of the student's permission to use their names in the spell, I will need the most powerful member's cooperation for the ritual to protect us."

Lithy stood up tall from her chair, "Are you sure Black Hill is our best bet? The place is not that secluded, and she knows of it," her sultry accent filled the room with far more confidence than she normally portrays. Those who know her well could see the dark, billowing smoke around her ankles. Amos, her Familiar black Maine Coon cat, formed himself around her feet until he emerged fully; settling down upon the tops of her boots. His presence gave the otherwise timid Albino that extra boost of courage to speak before her peers. "It'll be an okay place to plan, but there's no way we can stay there. We need to find proper shelter against her magic, allies who know more than we do... who knows enough about Madame Muir to stand against her. Weak or not, your mother is still far stronger than the best of us combined."

Birthday: September 14th
Zodiac Sign: Virgo
Discipline: Cosmic (Lunar) Wiccan, Hedge Wiccan, Alchemist.

Appearance:

Hider

Size: Tall
Body Type: Average
Height: 5'6" - He has a Napoleon complex about his height, so don't make a deal of it.
Weight: 137 lbs
Complexion: Fair
Hair: Wavy Blonde
Eyes: grey-blue
Handedness: Right
Distinguishing Marks:

Unknown to him, Remy has a Polynesian Binding Tattoo down his spine, placed there when he was 10. It is to aid in buffering his emotions when he loses full control of them unwillingly. So, Accidents will be blocked. But if Remy is controlling his abilities, then the buffer will stand down, placed on standby just in case he loses control.

Unfortunately, the butter is 12 years old - and outdated since Remy's been in school. His abilities have heightened over the years, and new, strange developments within them have altered his magical DNA. Therefore, if he doesn't go to get the magical tattoo updated, it will fail him at the height of his usage. Which can be mighty dangerous. This is how the new, stronger tattoo looks when it's reinforced.

---

Relationship Status: Single - for now. Interest - Yuri Paris
Sexual Orientation: Demiromantic, Femboy
Occupation: Biochemical lab technician.

Personality:

Hider

Counterintuitive, Charismatic, Energetic, Empathetic, Meddlesome, Insecure, Secretive, Brilliant, Self-sacrificing, Determined, Thoughtful, Hedonistic, Altruistic

Multifaceted: Like many people, Remy's personality is often a reflection of the situation or people that he is surrounded by. To most of the world, he comes off as cheerful and carefree. And it is only the select few who he has developed a deep trust that knows otherwise. Deep down Remy is quite different than he appears, however for several reasons he has chosen to hide his true self from the world.

Cynical: Despite the way that he acts, on the inside, Remy is hurting. He doesn’t enjoy his life, and would rather it all come to an end. Even so, he hides this feeling from the rest of the world behind a mask. He is currently just going through the motions, feeling numb most of the time. He would prefer to live out the rest of his existence alone. He feels like a fake and that many of the optimistic things he says are lies. However, the only thing that brings him joy, is seeing other people’s happiness. To him, it is like a drug. Remy believes that all the good qualities that come with his outward personality aren’t really who he is and that he is actually a horrible person. But in reality, he doesn’t really know who he is anymore. He is lost, but too afraid to change.

Mannerisms: Twirls hair or chews bottom lip when focused, and has the tendency to chew at his fingernails when he's nervous or lacking confidence. Eyes of many colors - his natural Chameleon eyes seem to change colors due to the unique twist of his magical abilities and his overly sensitive emotions. Remy's figured out a simple color chart that relates to his personal rainbow, but there are a few that are still difficult for him to interpret.

Likes: Music/singing, exotic beers, and wines; snuggling in warmth, chemistry, laughing at randomness, Tattoos & Piercings, Stargazing, Charity work, Coffee, Photography, anything sweet and sugary.

Dislikes: Crowded places, Tea, Weekends (he tends to feel slow and sluggish when he's not busy doing something. Slowing down awakens his most hateful emotions, Social Norms, Pop Music, Reptiles.

Fears: Losing his power forever, never finding a place to belong, losing his true self even more; being out of control, trusting someone and getting hurt, being himself, not being able to be useful, being disliked.

Abilities/Skills: WIP

Hider

City Block level

Powers:

1. Empathy: Users can sense and manipulate the emotions, including feelings, moods, and their effects, of themselves, people, animals, and other creatures, whether by increasing, decreasing, causing, or otherwise channeling emotions, even manifesting the emotional energy to a physical level. (His eyes are the radar to his personal emotional state. They can warn others if his emotions are becoming overwhelmed by what's around him.)

Eye Color Chart
Color/Emotion
Red - Anger, Pain
Light Red - Confidence, Determination, Courage
Dark Red, Maroon - Frustration, Annoyance
Pink - Love
Purple - Lust, Desire, Pleasure
Brown - Deceit, Secretiveness
Hazel - Embarrassment, Shame
Orange - Fear
Yellow - Happiness, Surprise, Joy, Excitement
Gold/Amber - Contentment, Peacefulness
Dull Yellow - Disgust
Green - Envy, Jealousy, Distrust, Suspicion
Olive Green - Caution, Apprehensiveness, Unease, Worry
Dark Blue - Sadness
Sky Blue - Sympathy/Empathy
White - Honesty, Truthfulness, Trust, Pure
Black - Emotionless, Detached

Drawback: Because emotions are so powerful, when reading others it can sometimes become overwhelming for the user. They can easily get lost or caught up in the moment, and it can be hard to discern between someone else's emotions and their own. If the user is not careful, they can end up being hurt instead. When the user is not in control, they can often end up changing the emotions of those around them by mistake.

---

2. Healing: Users can restore biotic organisms to their optimal health, curing damaged or withered organisms, wounds, broken bones, low vitality, and diseases/poisoning.

Drawback: In order to heal someone, the user must take on their injuries. Although it typically isn’t as severe as the original injury, it can still be quite painful for the user or cause damage.

---

3. Telepathy: The ability to communicate/perceive outside of the known senses. Remy can read/sense another person's thoughts and communicate with them mentally. He can communicate and receive information from others. And because of recent events, he's been slowly able to communicate through dreams.

A perk with this skill lies within his natural, yet uncanny ability to remember things; numbers, maps, people, faces, names, entire books, anything. Not just short-term memory - everything seems to lodge itself straight into his long-term working memory. And he remembers right down to every small detail years after first introductions. Therefore, what he reads from other minds will stick with him until he dislodges them for good. This natural mental vault is a form of HSAM - Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory

Drawback: Unfortunately, with all the information he collects and holds in his massive memory, Remy can, from time to time, meltdown. Hyperthymesia leads to depression, causes problems with relationships, and prevents people from living in the present. If he does not meditate to clear unwanted information and free his mind from the stresses of his and other's thoughts and emotions, he can lose his own emotional balance and crash. Just like a large network of computers that keeps an entire country up and running - suddenly going dark, Remy will fall into a 'floating' state (awake and active but mentally unaware of his actions), or worse - fall into a coma that can last for months.

---

4. Dreamcaster/Dreamseeker
A new development that will blossom soon for him is the ability to work within and through his and others' dreams. Due to his growing powers over the mind and emotions, he'll begin to have visions of others, and eventually, those visions will begin to show up in his sleep. These dreams Remy will somehow be able to manipulate and communicate through a person's dream. (Wondering if teleportation is possible - teleporting to a person's location through their dreamstate... if it's possible, Remy will eventually be able to do it, if he's capable. A lot of drawbacks on this as well that I need to add here. But, basically, Freddy Kruger concept).

---

5. Telekinesis

---

6.

---

Spells: WIP

1. Aura Shield (Concentration)

---

2. Suggestion (Enchantment)
You suggest a course of activity (limited to a sentence or two) and magically influence a creature you can see within range that can hear and understand you. Creatures that can't be charmed are immune to this effect. The suggestion must be worded in such a manner as to make the course of action sound reasonable. Asking the creature to stab itself, throw itself onto a spear, immolate itself, or do some other obviously harmful act ends the spell.

---

3.Dominate (Charm)
You attempt to beguile a humanoid that you can see within range. While the target is charmed, you have a telepathic link with it as long as the two of you are on the same plane of existence. You can use this telepathic link to issue commands to the creature while you are conscious, which it does its best to obey. You can specify a simple and general course of action, such as "Attack that creature," "Run over there," or "Fetch that object." You can use your action to take total and precise control of the target.

---

4. Thumaturgy
You manifest a minor wonder, a sign of supernatural power, within range. You create one of the following magical effects within range:

---

5. Cure Wounds (Touch Healing)

---

6. Detection (Divination)
Can detect good/evil, magic, poisons/disease, and other dangers.

---

7. Paralyze (Enchantment)

---

8. Polynesian Binding Tattoo (Concentration)
This binding tattoo of his actually grants him the ability to bind other people's minor abilities and their emotions. He believes it's just part of the spell, but it's mostly the tattoo. Minor spells, incantations, enchantments, and magical abilities he's able to bind for 30 min to an hour, depending on how strong it is initially and Remy's concentration. If he breaks his concentration, the timeclock drops to a lower number. This ability will strengthen once he is able to have his magical tattoo updated. For now, Lv 1 - 15 spells and abilities is all he's able to control.

---

9. Alchemy Skills
Can create up to 8 transmutation circles through drawing them, salting, or simply licking his finger and aura tracing one in the air. He also has quick transmutation runes that he also aura trace in the air for quick fixes.

---

Tools of his Major and Minor Principles:

Has a small chemistry/alchemy lab in a bag - more like a huge trunk on wheels. He also has a small Bag of Holding that contains an entire Ikea store of anything you can imagine.

History:

Hider

Born to a lowly carpenter and an addict of a mother. It was no surprise to anyone that his mother didn't stick around long. His father did the best he could. Money was kind of tight despite his father's job, meaning they didn't always live in the best areas. It didn't take long before his father realized he was in no way capable of raising his son alone. But instead of just remarrying, he gave Remy up for adoption when he was two, and never looked back.

Remy was a pretty small, sensitive child, one who would start tearing up if someone looked at him wrong. Therefore, he was picked on quite a lot and treated like the runt of the litter until a new kid moved into the group home he was residing in. And even though he now had a protector, someone who he could trust and rely on, Remy still had to deal with far too much negativity too early in his childhood.

One unfortunate event caused Remy to lose his control - all he can remember is how many bodies laid around his feet - one being his new friend. Not knowing what actually happened, Remi had lost his mind and a little piece of his soul. Even though he was cleared of the charge of murder, is considered a victim of a gang fight that resulted in 5 deaths, Remi still blames himself and that sudden burst of arcane energy that suddenly awakened through his heightened emotions at the time. He hates his abilities for that day but hates himself even more for wanting to keep them.

He went from being a relatively sweet and emotional child to a closed-off teenager and a cynical young adult but fearing repeating history if emotions rise, Remy decided to hide everything by keeping a smile on his face. Unfortunately, at times, that smile and his small frame become the very reasons he is bullied, the very reason others take advantage of him.

Regardless, he did really extremely well academically and had a real future in front of him. With college started and an idea in his head for what he would like to accomplish in his life, Remy wants to move forwards without any emotion whatsoever. There are just a few major issues holding him back - but you would never know with his bright smile always keeping positivity high.

  Lithy is what Vodou practitioners call an Espridancr - one with the ability to summon an espri to communicate to/within through a ritual dance. This is a form of Spirit Magic-User can use spirit magic, that revolves around channeling, summoning, or using the power of spirits to achieve their goals. They can summon spirits, use spiritual weapons, or channel a spirit into their body to gain physical enhancements or gain completely new abilities.

• Vessel (an ancient, rare form of spirit magic that is hereditary within Albinos)
  An Albino has the ability to share their consciousness and form with one or many espri, allowing them to communicate and participate with others in the living world. The only difference between a Vessel and a Medium is that a Vessel can hold espris within them indefinitely - if they are strong of mind and heart. Lithy tends to use this ability in unique ways, place esprit within herself, or place herself within a lifeless form for communication, esprit travel, readings, protection, and healing. She can go so far as to possess other living beings with no harm to them, and even release their esprit to travel or communicate from a decent distance - as long as she's able to maintain an unbroken contact with them mentally and physically. In Lithy's case, this is not a form of Necromancy, because she's not controlling the dead. She's only participating/managing/controlling/assisting the spirits of the dead. These souls are not a part of her. They are just resting within her until needed.
  
  There are disadvantages to this skill, due to its unique layout and the severity of harm towards the user, but it's quite effective for one who's mastered it. Lithy's level for this skill is intermediate.

• Nystagmus
  With the involuntary rapid eye movement that some Albinos have, she can read both a person's energy waves, shadow, and color auras - the unseen inner light and shade of their esprit, spirit/soul, that radiates around them.
  
  This ability also allows Lithy to visualize what others have seen or been. From here, she can glean information, locations of places or objects, and even sense emotions and other notions of the mind.
  

  ---

• Illusion Manipulation
  User can create, shape and manipulate illusions, causing targets to see, hear, touch, smell and/or taste things which do not actually exist or cause them to perceive things differently from what they truly are. Some users can create complex and detailed worlds, others may be able to only alter the way they or the target are perceived.
  

  ---

• Cartomancy (Tarot/Oracle)
  Users can employ cartomancy, the use of a normal deck of cards or tarot cards to gain insight into the past, current, and possible future situations of the subject.
  
  If Lithy channels this ability with her illusion of hypnotic ability, she can possibly open a portal of time and space within her and the willing participant's minds, offering them safe passage within the 888 Plains of Existence to visit said vision within the place and time it may occur.
  
  She's only attempted this feat once - and the results were successful; except for the fact that the one who requested the read and voyage is still stuck in the future, they requested to see. Lithy did regain connection to that person, and they are very content with their new life. With this connection, Lithy eventually learned the proper way to manage this skill and bring a person back.
  

  ---

• Hypnotic Magic
  The users of the power can utilize powerful spells to hypnotize targets, affecting or directly influencing their targets' minds to their commands. She uses her amazing vibrating eyes, or the smooth tones of her motherland's ancient tongue, to awaken this skill; snaring weak, unwilling minds to listen and obey. (Requires approval by other members of RP, if she uses this, or any other skill, on another character.)
  

  ---

• Psionic Darkness Manipulation
  The user can manipulate the esoteric side of the darkness/shadow, with special properties, psychic, and mystical nature to it. With mastery, the wielder could use the esoteric element for a variety of magical effects.
  
  Weaknesses: It May be difficult to control, Users of Psychic Shield may be immune, & any Psychic Light Manipulation can counter it.
  

  ---

• Curse Inducement
  Users can place a curse on whatever they wish (people, places, objects, etc.). The exact effects can be nearly anything the user desires, ranging from minor annoyances to tortuously extended death.
  
  Among the most common effects are misfortune/bad luck, various sicknesses, infertility, physical defects/ugliness, etc. when affecting people, breaking or working wrong or causing problems when used on objects, and tendency to draw various disasters for places. Traditional magical curses include transforming the victim fully or partially into an animal/monster that fits the offense, blood-lust, insanity, unstoppable rages, unhealing wounds, misshapen/inhuman offspring, and a whole host of other effects.
  
  Curses are well known to create and induce supernatural anomalies. Anomalies are capable of warping reality too, such as dimensional rifts appearing on any surface like the ceiling, wall, or floor, and among other things like various objects appearing out of thin air, etc.
  

  ---

• Sympathetic Magic
  User can utilize the principles of sympathetic magic, a form of magic which can have an imitative and influencing effect on the users' reality, which grants the users a form of control over the users' reality and those in it which can come in two aspects:
  
  Law of Similarity or "like affects like": model or miniature of a real-world object that affects the real-life counterpart when changed. For example, a miniature New York where you can move buildings and they'll move in the real New York. Or a globe (careful with it) if you poke it carelessly, you'll crush the entirety of a country. This allows the user to scry the object in question because it also happens to the replica.
  
  Law of Contact/Contagion: that things that have once been in contact with each other continue to act on each other at a distance after the physical contact has been severed. This makes someone who knows how to do it right truly dangerous because they can ignore any distance to hurt someone with only a bit of something they have used, for example, clothing, personal possessions, etc., or (even better) part of them, for example, blood, hair, and nail-clippings.
  

  ---

• Gestalt Soul The ability to possess a soul made up of other souls. The user possesses a soul that was made from/composed of two or more other souls. This could include fragments of multiple, incomplete souls woven into a single, functioning soul or multiple, whole souls made into one. {NOTE: This is an ability Lithy is unaware of. Papa Legba has instilled this within her making, bounding her into a pathway that will, one day, lead Lithy into becoming a new Loa for the modern age.}

Brief History:

Hider

Born in Southway Hold, Providence; Port Au Prince, Haiti. She lived with her mother, Seganna, who was in the village Rada Mambo. Her estranged father, a rather disagreeable Petro Oungan wannabe, did not leave the province on good terms during his short stay there. Lithy hoped to avoid that negative legacy for the better.

One thing she was thrilled about leaving Haiti; she'd be safer somewhere else. Suffers from PTSD, after several kidnappings throughout her childhood, she had lived in constant fear for her life. In Haiti, Albinos are considered either good luck charms or living demons. Therefore, she almost lost fingers, an arm, an ear for someone's good luck, and there were attempts on her life several times - to extinguish the supposed demons within. Many of these close calls were due to her father's influence over a certain group of people.

Because of those close-calls, Lithy will go into full defense mode if spooked. She has been slowly recovering from her childhood PTSD since she's lived away from the island for so long, and was able to receive mental and medical attention. But time will tell if she'll ever break completely out of her paranoia.

Living in America had given her the freedom to live away from her fearful life. But now, the sudden feeling of loss, as if missing a vital limb, and the constant pulling and shifting that had caused her to lose focus on what's before her; she's started to believe something else was wrong with her. But... she's felt like this ever since leaving Haiti and considered it a strong case of Homesickness that's lasting far...far too long.

Extra

Spoken Languages: English, Creole, French, Italian, Spanish, German, Tagalog, Mandarin, Korean, Hindi. She works at the Census office as an Interpreter. She also owns an online language site where she helps people learn languages through natural communication.

Been competing in fencing collegially for six years. Her psychiatrist recommended the sport to her to help her fight against her fear of sharp objects - becoming a threat with one in her control, rather than being a victim under its tip.

Her Belief

Hider

She worships the Voudou Rada Iwa Papa Legba, her divine tutelary. But, she has a very strong connection to the Petro size of Voudou due to her unknown father. It pulls towards her on the daily, but she has no idea of which Iwa it is attempting to make claim. However, due to this, Papa Legba had called upon another Iwa from the fanmi to keep an eye on her - this one has the ability to stand between both nanchons (Rada and Petro), an Andezo "en deux eaux" an Iwa who stands in two waters. Iwa Ogun resides within her espri when she requires his aid but normally remains within her cat familiar, Amos.

{NOTE: The truth of all is that Papa Legba is Lithy's true father. He watches over her in hopes to guide her development anonymously, hoping to watch his only daughter grow to become a new Loa for modern times.}

Lithy's childhood was full of people believing that she held the spirit of a demon within her - the reason why they constantly attacked her. Others believed she held the spirit of a blessed Mambo, so she was pure luck; luckier than a rabbit's paw. Both are quite correct due to Ogun's Andezo nature {as well as the hidden truth she's unaware of}.

Lithy's appearance when under Ogun's influence as The Warrior. Her eyes turn jade and sigils form across her skin in a golden light. No bumblebee on her forehead, but a bright golden light shines at the center of her forehead to represent 'the seeing eyes').

Amos

Amos

Her Maine Coon cat Familiar; Amos was her childhood cat in Haiti. Her father, on the first day he visited the village after her 12th birthday - which held a major significance in her magical studies, after a huge fight with her mother, stormed out of the house and kicked Amos roughly out of his way. That impact sent the poor creature high into the air, only to land on the iron fence surrounding her mother's yard.

Her beloved cat impaled, Lithi was saddened and highly angered at this unknown stranger who just wished her well for her birthday. As she removed her cat from the fence, her emotions running dangerously high, she cursed the man with an unknown something that still plagues him to this day. Unknowingly, she sent a touch of her espri within her cat, giving the body enough energy to regain to breathe. When her mother realized what had happened, she decided to help bring Amos back to health - but she knew that would require more than a few bandages. Lithi participated in her first ritual of renewal, and in the midst of this, her mother requested from Papa Legba, and her personal tutelary, Agwe, to use Amos to protect her special child. That's when Papa Legba asked for Ogou's assistance. When he entered the cat's body, his wounds were healed. He's remained by Lithy's side ever since, not because his cousin asked, but because he can sense the need to keep this young lady safe.

Witch/Warlock Coven RP

Poo! Wonder who? I'm hoping to plot out an idea with ArticBever too.

Witch/Warlock Coven RP

I am all for character development and I can already see Yuri and Lithy being a beautiful unstoppable force when they learn to work together. Conflict is sometimes good because it makes you think of different ways to either adjust or get around it. I am excited for them to interact and I'll probably have Yuri flirt with Remy a little if that's okay with you. Remy is in the spectrum of individuals Yuri would pursue and he is one of those "hopeless romantic" types so he'll make sure Remy is taken care of.... again only if you're okay with it, I'd rather not force such things onto other characters unless they agree so that door is open should you choose to have Remy walkthrough. Or they could already know one another and actually be dating at the start of the story. If my memory is correct I'm sure they'll argue and whatnot because Yuri isn't quite adapted to handling Remy's personality and Remy probably doesn't know how to handle Yuri just yet.

@WindsOfFate

YEEP! Awesomesauce! Remy would be so not ready for a relationship but would jump head-first into one cause he loves being adored and loved by someone. His fears, however, will get the better of him, of course. He wouldn't be human if they didn't. He's such a gullible little birdie tho, and can easily fall into anyone's grasp if not careful. But, really, if Yuri shows a hint of concern or interest towards him, he'll probably follow him around like a little puppy, just because he also looks like someone who can protect him as well.

Funny thing about Remy, he's a weakling on the outside, but stronger on the inside. He just doesn't see/feel it yet. YET! I'm not sure exactly why this is (still under top-secret development) but someone within this band of witches we're building might have the answers to unlocking his hidden, completely underdeveloped, abilities. Meh, we shall see... But truly, YUUSS, give Remy a toy to dot over, please! It makes him feel better when he has some sort of purpose or is the one bringing someone some sort of happiness. But watch it - he can be a bit possessive and overly bubbly about his loyal care for someone so close; he can be a tad extra...
