Name: Delaney Jade Barlowe
Nickname: DJ
Gender Female
Age: 21
Sexual Orientation: Pansexual
Witch or Warlock: Warlock
Schools of Magic: Transmutation

- DJ can temporarily enhance the abilities of others around her, as long as they remain in contact with her skin. Since she has not fully practiced her ability, some spells of the other caster may go awry. The longer the contact, the more drained DJ becomes.

Personality: There are always two sides of a coin. On one, Delaney is an all around goofball. She's your stereotypical class clown and is always wearing a smile or barking out a ridiculous sounding laugh that kind of sounds like a seal. Her energy is always infectious and contagious, always seeming to brighten a mood or resolve a tense situation. The flip side of the coin is that she can be a total conniving bitch when she needs to be. She is a fierce and loyal protector of her friends and family and will go to all ends of the Earth to protect them.
History/Bio: Delaney grew up as the only daughter of six children tp Eleanor and Erik Barlowe. Life had been tight as the family constantly struggled to make ends meet with only her father working in a local warehouse. The only shining light they had was the bubbly and energetic little girl who was fiercely protected by her older brothers.
As DJ grew, she noticed odd behaviors from the people around her once she touched them. Bolts of electricity would fly, embers would catch fire. Being the only magical of the family, her parents didn't exactly know what to do with her. They reached out to the local coven for help. Delaney was finally able to learn more about her strange ability but quickly found that she didn't enjoy the repercussions it had on her own energy.
She was able to get away from the town and the talks of anything magic when she was accepted to Princeton University on a full ride scholarship. However, she was more entranced by the party life than by socializing. One night on a bender she was arrested for public intoxication as a minor. The booking made her lose her scholarship, therefore propelling her back to the only place she could afford: home. Now she works at the local bar as a bartender and shot girl, once again the life of the party.

Feat. Hayden Kersey

His mother had always told him that being a leader sometimes had tough choices. Life would never give you a good outcome, and you just had to pick the one that sucked the least. It seemed like his first day as leader, that mantra was coming to haunt him big time. Just as he managed to slump down into the old fashioned button cushioned dining chair, an entire posse decided to enter the room, led by the worst person of all: Serena. Serena was the whole reason that he had the word ‘Acting’ in his new job description. Okay, so Lilith could also be a contender technically, but mostly any kind of competition had been between him and Serena. Listening to her declaration, Carlisle wanted to go over the table and strangle her. But that wouldn’t exactly be a good look. So instead he would begin to slow clap, as sarcastically as he could.

”Well done, You made it back in one piece. Congratulations for not getting overdosed on heroin and not ending up in a gutter somewhere. You defied all expectations. Do you want a medal?” Carlisle looked around, seeing Erin as well. It was nice to see the calming aura of the party at least. His eyes darted further across and saw Kolby as well. Well that ruined everything even more. What puzzled him even further was the fact he had some random stranger with him.

”Look what else you dragged with you.” Carlisle said as he looked Kolby up and down. ”And what’s worse is that you bought someone else who I don’t know. Well they must be magical otherwise they won’t make it through the door.”

”Name’s Hayden. I am Kolby’s girlfriend. When he came back to Tanner, I wanted to be with him, so we decided to see if you would let me join the Coven. So that me and Kolby would be happy together.” Hayden interjected with a small, twisted smile. She knew all she needed to about Carlisle to be able to push his buttons just from this little outburst.

”Okay. Well normally, if it helps Kolby in anyway, then fuck no. However, I am supposed to help protect and nurture witches wherever I can. So I suppose you can at least stay in the interim. We will have to get the initiation done at some point.”

Carlisle would leave it at that and then wait for everyone else to arrive. Once he saw everyone he thought he needed to see, he would stand up and clear his throat, indicating that he was ready to talk.

"Thank you for coming so quickly everybody. I know that it was most likely a bit of a shock to suddenly be recalled here so quickly, also with the end of college and what not only just happening. Just as many of us thought we had escaped we get pulled back in again right" Carlisle let out a little chuckle, disguising the fact he had been here all along and glossing over the fact he dropped out of college.

"Still, we all knew that this day would eventually come, and we would be called back to Tanner to see to the coven. None of us expected it to be this fast. But our parents all seemed to want to retire early, and we just have to roll with the cards we have been dealt." A lump began to form on the insides of Carlisle's throat. He had been speaking to people publicly for too long and now his anxiety was starting to take hold and dig its claws into the edges of his mind. If he had ever hoped to become leader he had to dig deep and push through. With a soft cough and a little stuttering of words, Carlisle eventually continued.

"Given the sudden turn around of events, the council did not have time to select a replacement for my mother to lead the coven. So in the interim, they have asked if I would be willing to step in and be interim leader until the council have made their final choice. I know that being a Warlock means that me becoming a leader is a bit… unconventional, and many of you probably expected Serena to be standing here in my place, myself included. I do hope however that this arrangement isn't a problem for anyone?" Carlisle took a moment to gather his words while he let that question hang in the air. He decided to omit the fact that the council had wanted Serena to be in his place right now, and it was only through his mother's insistence that he was here instead.

"Okay, normally we would spend a few days getting to know each other and resettling back into Tanner, but sadly, we have to get to business. As something is going on in Tanner. I am not sure from memory if any of you are Abjurers, if you are, you have probably been feeling the same sensation I have been feeling. For the uninitiated, Tanner is protected by a magical ward that is designed to keep most of the more… feral members of our supernatural family away from Tanner. However, recently, that barrier appears to have been weakened and there appears to have been a breach. I don't know exactly what might have caused it, or what might have come through, but if it is a threat to us, or a threat to Tanner in general, we need to deal with it." Carlisle pulled the chair out from the dining room table and decided to sit down as he continued to speak.

"I appreciate that for some of you, you may need to settle in as you may have only arrived in Tanner. That is perfectly fine. You are more than welcome to stay at your family homes, or move in here to some the bedrooms here. Please take some time aclimiatise if you need to. However, I do intend to go out into the outskirts of Tanner and see if I can find this breach. I could use some people to come with me if they would like to volunteer." This was the moment for Carlisle, if no one did agree to come with him, then he might as well just quit now. To say he was nervous was an understatement.

Carlisle was naturally a nervous sort. With how big today was, his stomach was knotting around and around. Seeing Victor enter only made that knot tighter. It seemed that he was trying to diffuse the tension by making a joke, but the joke instead only made Carlisle slightly more tense. It only highlighted the awkward position Carlisle was in. He was in charge, but actually ‘in charge’. Carlisle sighed and then lowered his hands onto his lap.

”Just Carlisle will do. And yeah it has been a while. Feels like only yesterday that we were all graduating from high school."

Carlsile had just begun to calm back down, taking a couple of slower breaths to try and tame that curling knot in his stomach. Little did he know it was about to turn into a whirlpool. Lilith had arrived. For a brief few moments, his stomach unknotted. His chest felt a bit warm as that school boy style crush feeling overcame him. Right now it was just what he needed, as terrible as it sounded. It didn't really last long as once his eyes had clocked onto her look, he knew he had done wrong. Well. That wasn't strictly true. It was the fact she addressed Victor and then not him. Then came the awkward bit. The fact she hadn't said anything meant that he must have done something. But what? He couldn't think what possible thing could be. The stress of trying to figure out only caused that stomach knot to get tighter, and as it got tighter Carlisle began to look more and more visibly anxious. Then there was the awkwardness about whether or not he talked first or not.

Lilith decided to interject. Carlisle couldn't tell if she was kind of enjoying watching him visibly suffer. He knew that when crossed, Lilith could be one of the fiercest witches in the Coven. Sadly, Carlisle always seemed to land himself in it more times than he would admit. The ingratiating tone she used to speak to him only confirmed that she was indeed pissed. It was now he was happy that Victor was here. If not, Victor might have walked in to Carlisle being put in a choke hold. Okay. Maybe that was a bit of an exaggeration, or maybe it wasn't. Carlisle couldn't decide.

”Of course we can. This shouldn't take long. Then you can have all the time you want with me" Carlisle would go back to sitting in silence for a moment. Aurora would arrive moments later, breaking the silence a bit more. Things were doing okay right now, but then suddenly the doorbell rang. That was strange. Everyone just let themselves in. Carlisle would let out a huff and get up and walk around the table and behind Lilith to reach the door. No one else was going to get up it seemed. What was the point in being Patriarch if you had to do all the work anyway?

Opening the door he would be greeted by a familiar but also unfamiliar figure. He remembered her at Highschool, they graduated together, but she moved to Tanner at some point. Again the exact time eluded him.

”Hello! Catherine…? It is Catherine right? My memory hasn't been all there while we were at College. No need to ring the doorbell, you are with us, just walk on in"

Carlisle would open the door long enough for Catherine to enter, closing the door behind and showing her to one of the seats in the dining room. He would then walk back around and slink into his own chair. Looking at the clock. If he made this meeting last forever, Lilith wouldn't be able to speak to him.

• Milo

Age: 25
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Family: Mary Price, Johnathon Park (estranged father)

Magic use

Witch or Warlock: Warlock
School: Enchantment

Miles' spells lean more toward manipulating emotions, encouraging his group and seeing himself in a better light but he has a couple of damaging spells behind his belt particularly of the type that fill a headspace and do damage from within.
Key Spells:

• General charming spells- Miles can give others a better view of him or make them predisposed to trust him
• Calming emotions- Miles can make enemies and people more docile- it's effectiveness is more dependent on the targets will in their emotions. eg. leaders of adverse groups are likely to feel slightly less wild them completely docile
• Miles can put thoughts in others head from ideas (he can't make them follow them but he can put them there) to annoying sounds that can inhibit. He can even make dissonant whispers causing some damage in the form of headaches. His favourite is blaring the sound of airhorns in his enemy's heads

Personality:
Miles is an exuberant young man, he is the life of the party and although he doesn't always go seeking to be the centre of attention he often is. He has a natural charisma about him, perhaps it's his charm or maybe his pools of confidence. He is very carefree and just takes life as it comes. Miles' concerns lie mainly in self-satisfaction and enjoyment. He doesn't really think things through before he does any thing. Miles is a big flirt but isn't one to get emotionally attached in general.

Despite often being surrounded by an entourage of 'friends' Miles is rather lonely. He's extremely slow to trust others and is often in 2 minds of whether people actually like him or it's his magic. Because of this, his mother is the only person he truly shares his life with outside of small talk and good times. In his younger years it really didn't bother Miles much but as he's getting to the age a lot of people his age are slowing down in the party scene he's been starting to feel it in the last months.

History/Bio:
Miles was destined for trouble before he was born. The bastard son of Mary Price and Johnathon Park, a British-born Korean historian hailing from a coven in the north of England. Johnathon and Mary met when he was in America for work and building relationships with other covens. In the meantime he had built a particularly 'special' relationship with Mary However, it was short lived as when Mary found she was pregnant and reported so to Johnathon he dropped all contact and fled the country 2 months later. Mary took it all in her stride and tried her best to carry on as a single mum.

From Miles' most formative years it was clear he was going to be a handful. From the time he could drag his chubby little baby body across the floor he was dragging things off shelves and chasing after the family's bulldog. Soon his little legs started taking steps and he made a habit of causing destruction and chaos in the form of household objects and soiled nappies. This led to his mother dubbing him Hurricane, a name he still affectionately responds to til this day.

As Miles grew older he began 'terrorising the town' as his mum put it. He'd ride his bike around flinging half insults (which were honestly more amusing pitiful attempts at insults than cruel half the time), barking back at pets and pulling pranks on his neighbours. Although he never did anything seriously illegal he quickly became known enough for his mother to get forlorn shaken heads and condolences on the headaches he probably caused. Growing up his mother was his Kryptonite- no matter how rowdy he got he was a good son. He was still a ball of mischief about her- good doesn't always mean well-behaved- but they had a very close relationship and he respected her deeply.

When Miles hit his teen years he bulked up and grew into his charming looks and it didn't take long for him to take as much liking to the ladies as they did to him. Miles had a natural way of getting people to like him enough already and when some charm spells from his trained enchantment magic comes in it all came easy. Although his childhood mischief was all but forgotten to the adults of Tanner he once annoyed he was soon chalked up a childhood trickster who grew out of his ways and ended up as a normal teenager. To those more in tune with what those teens got up to, however, it was common knowledge he was a huge part of the party scene. Over Miles' late high school years Miles got really into the drinking and rarely spent a Saturday night alone- leading to his relationship with his hardworking mother to become tense even though he still loved her.

When it came time to graduate Miles wasn't overly keen on studying more but wanted to live the 'college life' so went to a college in Olympia for business. He actually only stayed in college for a year but found himself an executive assistant job after an internship and remained in Olympia for 4 years. Although his executive assistant job paid decently Miles also made a side hustle out of reselling items in questionably ethical fashions and gained another small income from such. Eventually Miles had felt he'd done all he needed to in Olympia he returned to Tanner where he got a administrative job at a local HR company. He finds it such a bore but it pays toward his future house fund and fuels his bad habits. Although he's not as far into the drinking as he once was he still enjoys a good party and a common drink as well as childish pranks.

Magic use

Witch or Warlock: Witch
Schools: Evocation, Illusion and a little Necromancy

Evocation

Catherine's evocation knowledges manifests almost exclusively in healing magic (likes of both singularly healing and mass healing. The only exception to this is being her ability to create light either as a ball in her hands or to make an item glow like a torch
Key spells

• General healing (she can't heal chrronic medical conditions etc- moreso reverse damage caused in battle/in incidents)
• Aura of Vitality- Catherine can create a short-lived 'aura' around her- granting light healing to those around her
• Light creation

Illusion

Catherine's illusion magic manifests in creating visual and auditory illusions and making herself invisible. She is working on being able to shroud herself and other in illusions to pass off as another but still has a long way to come

Necromancy

Being her father's natural and most excelled ability necromancy is an innate ability in Catherine- and she hates it. Catherine has tried extremely hard to push it away. Even in this attempt it's not unusual for her to hear voices of the dead in her head- particularly in places such as graves and old war sites. In an attempt to hold down her attunement to necromancy she has learnt a couple of spells at the the urging of her mentor.
Key spells

• Life transference- Catherine can weaken herself to give healing to others in her group
• Catherine can speak with the dead, she rarely does so and often tries to ignore those that reach out but occasionally will answer a call or use it for investigative purposes

Personality:
Catherine is generally a quiet and soft spoken women. She's very much a people pleaser and works herself hard for the the clan to prove she's worth keeping around- even if she doesn't have anyone to prove it to. Catherine can be very on-edge, living her life very carefully, calculating every move. Catherine is very patient and cares a lot for the people around her. She notices small things and fine details often overlooked. Although she is introverted she enjoys being around her loved ones

History/Bio:
Joseph Pallow was a powerful necromancy witch- and born into a coven set on subduing the human race, of which he became a strong player. His coven often clashed with the covens such as the one in Tanner, possibly even Tanner itself. Michael, his brother, had joined the Tanner clan in his teen years as he was disowned from his family for his stance against their ideals. It's unknown exactly what happened to Joseph but one day he arrived on his brother's doorstep begging for forgiveness and acceptance into the Tanner coven. Although he was watched closely Joseph was somewhat accepted into the group and years later started a relationship with Melanie Hierich, a human waitress in the town the clan borders. After about a year together Melanie fell pregnant with Catherine. Only a couple of months after Catherine's birth Joseph disappeared. A couple of months later he was seen with his coven feuding with the Tanner clan to be kept from hitting the town. Melanie took their infant daughter and fled to Maine.

Growing up Catherine actually had a relatively normal life and knew none of her magical heritage. Her mother eventually studied and gained a job as a teacher and the pair lived a peaceful life. Occasionally as a kid Catherine would make some odd statement about hearing voices but early on it was put off as general children saying weird things. Catherine wasn't a super popular kid in school but had a decent group of friends. It was when she was 16 the voices got worse, it was the first time she was convinced they weren't her imagination. The voices seem to wail in her ears, some begging for vengeance, some requesting a family member be contacted and some, it seemed, just seemed to straight up annoy her for fun. She tried to ignore them for months, she didn't want to be seen as crazy, until she eventually broke down and told her mother. Melanie reluctantly told Catherine about her heritage and offered to get her in contact with her uncle. Catherine jumped at the chance and Michael convinced the pair of them to move back to Tanner so he can train Catherine in magic.

Catherine completed high school in Tanner and got to know the coven. While some of the older members of the coven were obviously weary of Catherine she was able to find her place among the people and her mother could be reunited with her old friends. Catherine completed a teaching degree, following in her mother's footsteps, so was asked by her uncle to take his place in the coven as he had no one else to pass his torch onto.

Catherine works as a tutor a couple of times a week to allow her more time to help with clan's healing and to train with her uncle. Knowing where she comes from she tends to live a bit fearfully- scared to become like her father.

FC: Matt Dallas. Colour: 00a651
"My body is a weapon, my mind is a fortress, together they protect what I hold dear."

---

Name: Daniel Bruce Cooper
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Sexual Orientation: Straight

Witch or Warlock: Warlock
Schools of Magic: Conjuration (5):
Danny can conjure almost any mundane object you could think of. He often carries around a backpack so he can pretend to riffle through it when he conjures an item in public so he doesn’t arouse any suspicions.
He can also teleport short distances, so far only to places within 10 meters and in eye shot.
Lately Daniel has been working on conjuring a shadowy copy of himself that would also fight and he could swap places with. He still needs to work on getting it to fight, it currently can move a bit but that’s all.

Personality: If there’s a word that would describe Daniel, it would be “Driven.” Driven to improve himself, driven to protect those he cares about, and driven to just live his best life. He takes his responsibilities seriously but that doesn’t mean he won’t try to have fun while he’s doing it. He has a strong work ethic, but always makes sure to find a balance between his responsibilities and doing the things he finds fun.

History/Bio: Daniel’s childhood was probably a bit different from most magic users. He was always much more interested in being a strong man rather than focusing on his magic studies. This continued until his early teens, when the weight of his responsibility to protect the town really started to hit him. At that point he started taking magic more seriously, while still keeping up his belief that physical strength was just as important as magical strength.

Dan’s interest in the human body naturally lead him to wanting to study it more, but as he was getting ready to go off to school his father died. Some nasty creature got its way in to town, and Dan’s father died from wounds suffered while defeating it. Dan took some time off school at that point, he almost never went at all, but his mom wouldn’t have that.

Now he has returned from time abroad in exotic Canada with a Kinesiology degree and a fresh lease on life. Ready to take on his new role as a full member of the coven.

There we are, hope that's alright. Let me know if I need to change anything
