Essence of the World: Cadence [Always Open]

@FairessThe world is 7000 years old. Sorry there is conflicting info because there use to be other people who added stuff to the world. Wind settled on 7000 like literally yesterday and she is working on a time line. Other than that? It looks more or less correct but My knowledge largely stems from that two hundred year period between 2056 and the present. Incidentally that is where Lazarus shows up

There you go, you have your answer

@FairessIt varies and Guardian Angels arent the only ones who can do it. Generally speaking its usually mood detection, not exactly mind reading. Hazumi can see all manner of things about the person from there Aura while Lazarus can predict actions about a second before they occur as well as pick up on surface thoughts and emotions. Both of which fall under the aura reading category (note neither are guardian angels). It purposefully left vague.

@Monochromatic Rainbow enough XD looms exact location is completely not relevant. The thing about loom is that it's always been not located on a map because it's easier for us to put upon it what we want without worry. Not only that but 5his is like a couple hundred years in the future. And magic so don't worry about location or climate it is what wind says it is XD

Crime & Punishment - Adeptus Arbites RP [Warhammer 40,000]

@Hank Okay I adjusted the CS and posted it. It no longer suggests that Omnicron has been around for years, but it still means Uriah was on Aphrodus a couple years hence the daughter.

Crime & Punishment - Adeptus Arbites RP [Warhammer 40,000]

Strike Commander

NAME: Uriah Balis

HOMEWORLD: Castobel.

When the dark closes in around you the only thing you can do is shine brighter. The Hive world of Castobel stood against the dark from the day the Imperium of Man lost contact with the Jericho Reach till the day the Crusade found it again. In the cold darkness of what would become the Orpheus Salient this predominant Hive world withstood the invasion of chaos and Xenos. In 789.M41 the world of Castobel was returned to the Imperial Fold with the coming of the Achilus Crusade.

Uriah was born on Castobel as the child of an Imperial Guard Captain who had been stationed on the Hive world after it was reclaimed by the Imperium of Man. Never having to live in a world without the guiding light of the Emperor meant that the young Uriah was raised knowing one day he would serve the Emperor. Castobel’s placement in the Jericho Reach also meant that the Xenos Horrors and the threat of the Chaos Gods were never far from the minds of the people of Castobel and Uriah was not spared the constant fear. The resilience and conviction of Castobel rubbed off on the young Uriah, in the end. When the day came that Uriah’s father's unit was wiped from the face of the universe that same resilience shown forth from Uriah as he went to face the Schola Progenium.

AGE: 65.

GENDER: Male.

APPEARANCE:

No one could accuse Uriah Balis of being easy on the eyes. The older Arbitrator was never an attractive man. Uriah’s face is largely common with a heavy, wide brow and a face left pocked marked from a nearly lethal rash when he was in his early teens; the man’s facial features are rounded out by a broken nose from his first posting on Nariel. According to Uriah’s father he inherited his mother's eyes which are a blue green with steel flecks; they are the eyes of someone who has laughed, screamed and frowned often. Crowned with locks of slightly longer hair Uriah keeps his light brown hair cut so that it can be confined with a band at the base of his neck. Short enough to fit under his carapace armor helmet and give little purchase for seeking hands. Uriah has aged well having his form bolstered by juviant treatments which have allowed him to keep his thick sticky muscles and large frame even at his current age.

To complement the pockmarks from his youth Uriah has fade burn scars on the left side of his neck from a homemade incendiary weapon he took to the face during his second posting on the Pleasure world of Carmyn where he had been sent to help bring a local leader to justice who had been implicated in the creation of a Cult of Slaanesh. In addition to the burn scarring which spreads down his left shoulder; Uriah possess a number of bullet wound scars, knife puckering and other scars from his fifteen year tour as an Arbitrator across four different Worlds before his posting on Aphrodus Primaris.

Standing at an above average height of 1.8 meters Uriah carries very little excess weight on his frame as his build is largely hard muscles from his time serving in the very front of riot suppression, warrant serving and open combat with dissenters.

Uriah has a penchant for wearing a pair of dark black gloves. The Arbitrator claims the color hides any blood he may get on them but many speculate that it is due to a distaste he harbors for the missing digits on his left hand. The pinky and ring finger on his left hand were removed by a group of gang members who captured him on Nariel. The digits have since been replaced by mechanical prosthetics which serve him just as well if not better than the original fingers.

ROLE: Strike Commander

UNIFORM:

Uriah’s black carapace armor shines with a dull fervor. A reflection of the man who walks within it. While the surface of Uriah’s armor may have a well maintained luster to it; the armor also bares the pockmarks and weld marks of scores of battles long past. On the left shoulder of the Black armor in the tradition of the Astartes who protected his home is a crest. The depiction on the shoulder is that of a Scorpion clutching a sword marked in green. The crest itself is a last gift from his father and a silent prayer to the God-Emperor for sending his Angels to protect his home in the Jericho Reach. When Uriah makes use of the armor’s helmet it also sports the snapping claws of the scorpion over its face plate and its curled tail across the helmets rebreather.

Over the armor Uriah wears an armless duster that ends at his calves. The duster is a shade of dark grey and features his scorpion heraldry on his left breast and on the opposite side of the duster is featured the iconography of the Adeptus Arbites. The scorpion is depicted in the same green as its counterparts on his other pieces of equipment. The symbol of the Adeptus Arbites is depicted in silver on his right breast. In addition to the overcoat Uriah wears about a dozen Purity Seals spread out across his armor.

EXPERTISE: Given a lack of specific expertise like the specialists of Strike Team Omicron Uriah is mildly familiar with the functioning of all his specialists. This is due to a compelling need to be able to integrate the enforcers and the investigators of his team to the best of his abilities.

Gunslinger- Uriah’s Carnodon pattern Hand Cannon’s have allowed the stockier Commander to become quite excellent at making use of both guns. At short to medium range Uriah is a fantastic shot. While it is rare for Uriah to make use of the duelist worn guns which sit in a right drawn holster in front of his hips and the second one sits in a reverse draw holster on his right hip. This set of holsters allows Uriah to quickly draw with either hand for single fire use or for a crossover draw allowing Uriah to make use of both guns at once in either hand. Part of Uriah’s insistence in his ability to fight in such a manner comes from the effects this has on those who oppose him. More than a few confrontations have been diffused through a single fantastic display of the Commander's use of the hand cannons.

Duelist-While most Arbitrators make use of the power mace Uriah has always preferred the shock baton. Early in his career it was not uncommon for him to make use of a pair of shock batons over the heavy devastating power maces. With his rise to a position of authority Uriah took up use of the power sword in place of his shock baton. During the time he had to grow into the new position Uriah spent time mastering the use of his power sword both in a double grip and in a single grip in combination with his suppression shield.

Scorpion- Uriah believes in those who work with him. Without fail he would but his life and reputation into the hands of any of his Arbitrators or Specialists. While his weapons may distinguish him from those around him Uriah purposefully relies on those around him to do their job. Like his chosen crest Uriah waits patiently and strikes when all else is in place. To many it appears as though Uriah rarely leads but the reality is that Uriah only uses his authority when it is completely necessary as it allows those around him to do what they do best.

Lead by Example- In his time serving Uriah has learned that the best leaders are those who speak rarely and act often. Uriah can be found on the front of a riot line, with his shock troopers going into a building or in the middle of a crime scene observing his specialists work. In these instances Uriah is there to exemplify proper action and baring but he always makes sure that those around him shine more simply through having an example to exceed.

Well Read- When Uriah is not in the field he can be found reading anything he can get his hands on. While Uriah is a rather spartan individual his quarters are home to a small library of historical and religious texts which he is happy to lend out to the other members of Strike Team Omicron.

EQUIPMENT:

- Primary weapon: Vox Legi-Pattern Combat Shotgun

The epitome of standardized weapon Uriah carries the signature shotgun pattern of the Adeptus Arbites. Unlike Uriah's other weapons this Shotgun’s only modification is a side rail for additional variation of of ammunition. THe chambered shells can easily be swapped out for the shells on the side railing through quickly ejecting the unwanted shells and loading the new shells from the rail which sits on the side of the shot gun.

- Secondary weapon: Westingkrup Carnodon Pattern Precision Hand Cannon

Uriah’s hand cannons features his distinctive bright green scorpion along the length of it curling its claws around the black finish of the barrels. The guns particular pattern makes it generally more reliable than some of its counter parts which circulate in the general populace. The hand cannons also features a red dot sight modification, top barrel venting to counteract the kick of the gun making it more accurate. The hand cannon pair also feature revolving six chambers which make for a nasty piece of hardware that Uriah takes great care in maintaining and training with.

- Melee weapon: Power-Sword

After becoming the Strike Commander of Omicron Uriah was granted use of a Power-Sword. Since coming into his possession Uriah has made two significant modifications to the blade. The first addition was a hand and a half grip which allows easy switching between a single handed grip and a double handed grip depending on the circumstance. Uriah is fully capable of using his sword in conjunction with both his suppression shield and his hand cannon giving him great versatility. The second modification is a dipole mag-lock for the blade. The true secret behind Uriah’s gloves lies in the trigger electrodes in the gloves which when placed over the mag-lock on the sword causes the polarity to reverse and propel the blade into his open hand.

- Tertiary equipment: Suppression Shield

As standard as they come Uriah’s Shield is no different than any other suppression shield carried by the members of his squad. This is intentional as it does not mark him as different or a leader in the face of opposition when Uriah is part of an advancing line. Uriah carries the shield on his back similar to his Sergeant if the Strike Commander suspects he may need it in the field.

- Mementos: A picture of his mother and father on Castelbel before the disease killed his mother. Uriah also carries the scorpion patch from his father's uniform; the only thing returned to him after his father was killed.

BIOGRAPHY:

Planets stationed:

Uriah grew up believing in the truth of the Imperium of Man without question. Castobel was the perfect example of the staunch ideals of the Imperium. When the Age of Strife came regardless of what happened to the hive world they had held strong. Uriah was born shortly after the reclamation of the planet by the Achilus Crusade. Born to a Captain of the Imperial Guard who was stationed on Castobel and a Gubernatorial aid to the new Planet Governor of the Hive world Uriah was raised in relative comfort.

The difference in Uriah’s life came from the precarious nature of Castobel and its place in the Jericho Reach. Much of Uriah early life was shrouded in the knowledge that on the leading edge of the Crusade was the encroaching menace of Hive Fleet Dagon, The Tau and the Legions of Chaos. For many worlds the terrors beyond the stars were just that. Bad dreams and quite fears; for Uriah those fears were a fact of life and their constant presence was drilled into him from birth. Naturally, indoctrination came quickly for the young boy and he took to it with ease quickly understanding that it was the Emperor who had rescued his home world from the night right before he was born.

When Uriah was eight tragedy struck. Liana Balis was taken by a pox which infected a large portion of the hive in which the two were living while Uriah’s Father, Kettin, was off world. Against all odds the young Uriah pulled through in the face of certain death; however his mother was not so lucky. When his father returned Uriah was left scarred by the pox but no less for it. If anything the young boy was stronger for the experience even though he mourned the loss of his mother. The next tragedy struck a year later with the death of his Father. Kettin Balis died defending the last of a series of ships fleeing a frontier planet on the leading edge of Hive Fleet Dagon. Kettin Balis was returned to his home on Castobel on board a Deathwatch Thunderhawk. In death Kettin had secured the last of the fleeing transports against the Tyranid swarm and had given his life helping the Deathwatch Astartes as they secured the doom of the swarm in the face of the Ordo Xenos command of Exterminatus. To this day Uriah carried the memory of being given the scorpion patch by one of the God-Emperor's Astartes. In the eyes of the young Uriah the titanic warrior was nothing short of a grim Angel of Death returning his father to him one last time. Since then Uriah has strived to uphold the ideals of the Imperium as an attempt at repaying the God-Emperor for sending his Angels to bring Uriah’s father home.

Schola Progenium.

For Uriah this was the day he had hoped for his whole life. After the death of his Father Uriah was sent to Minolan in the Iron Collar of the Achilus Crusade. From the moment his feet hit the ground with grey robes on he was run ragged. The reality of the Jericho Reach was far different than that of the rest of the Imperium. This region of space was far harsher and much more deadly. A posting with the crusade meant death was a reality far more salient. Becoming a Soritas meant that you would stand against the Chaos, Acolytes of the Inquisition would be beset on all sides by Xenos, Heretics and the forces of Chaos. No matter where you turned there was only death to be seen and as such the Progenium of the Jericho Reach were trained on the rugged edge in preparation for the realities of this tract of space.

Very quickly it was determined that Uriah would be slated for the Adeptus Arbites. The young man was uncompromising in upholding the rules and his martial power was in the top ten percent of his peers. Regardless of this Uriah continued to progress within the Schola Progenium before at the age of eighteen he was sent to begin his training with the Arbites. From the word go Uriah took to the training mastering use of the Shotgun, Powermace, Suppression Shield and so forth. After two years of intensive training Uriah went boots down on Nariel.

Uriah’s first two decades were spent on Nariel. The world was a mess and sat at the heart of the Crusade. As a result of the placement of the Hive World it was immediately necessary for there to be a massive Arbites presence on the world. After many years on Nariel Uriah had become a hardened veteran of the planets Arbites force. This all came to an abrupt end when purely by chance an Inquisitor of the Ordo Hereticus came looking for veteran Arbites.

Quickly thereafter he was transferred to Caymn to continue assisting in the investigation of the Inquisitor who was following the trail of some sort of deviant Cult. What Uriah uncovered on the pleasure world of Caymn was a full blown cult of Slaanesh. The members of the Inquisitor's band and the Abrites on the world were quickly drawn into a protracted engagement with the agents of Chaos. After forty-eight hours of drawn on combat and hurried hunting across Carymn the Arbitrator-Seargent at the time Uriah brought the armored fist of his team down on the back of the Cult while the Inquisitor gutted the cult on another front. Following the Cults deathroes its leader, an imperial officer fled the plant.

Upon request Uriah was assigned to the Arbitrator team which was sent to track down the remains of the Cult. Over the course of the next ten years Uriah would be assigned to two more worlds, Levarus Minor and Mercurion Prime, before he and a smile force of Arbitrators with the assistance of a group of Inquisition Acolytes caught up with the leader.

In the final showdown Uriah and his Arbitrators killed the Cult leader and a handful of Psychers before they could summon a daemon of Slaanesh into the lower hives of Mercurion Prime. With the chase finally finished Uriah put in a request to be transferred to a world beyond the Jericho Reach. With his transfer to Aphrodus Prime Uriah received an audience with Judge Catulo after a few years on Aphrodus Prime. Given his lengthy track record in the wild edge of the Jericho Reach Judge Catulo wanted him to head up Task Force Omicron. Uriah immediately accepted seeing it as the will of the Emperor that he be transferred here and asked to head Task Force Omicron.

After his first few years on Aphrodus, Uriah sired a daughter with a middle management member of the Adeptus Administratum. Until a transfer comes through Uriah has refused to marry the mother of his daughter but in his time off he can occasionally be found spending time with the beginnings of his small family.

PERSONALITY:

In the dark light shines the brightest. Uriah views the world as a dark place where the light of the Emperor burns bright and his laws maintain it. Many see Uriah as an idealist and they should as regardless of the things he has viewed it has merely reinforced his belief in the Emperor and the Imperium. While there are many who break the laws of the Imperium; to Uriah these are merely individuals who have lost their way. No matter how many people he kills in the name of the Law he believes that in so doing he is giving them the ability to confront the Emperor directly and atone. Regardless Uriah does not view the people who must stop as animals or less human, they have simply lost the way and it is his job to stop them for leading other astray.

At the end of the day Uriah is tired and longs for the vastness of the Jericho Reach again. Regardless of the nightmares the Jericho Reach is still home. Regardless of this he soldiers on in service to his Emperor. Of late he has become more and more fatherly in his treatment of his Strike Team making sure they excel in everything they do. Gone are the days of Uriah’s angry tirades and harsh words; in its wake are stern talks and disciplinary actions meant to instill a sense of pride in the recipient in what they do. Many point to the appearance of a daughter in Uriah’s life and those who have noticed this change are right.

Essence: Cadence [an original dark urban fantasy is looking for up to 3 more players]

@FairessSo Hazumi only features in that way after Judas death (we are getting into Lore that starts to be kinda fuzzy and makes people run for the hills because this RP is actually like 4 or five seasons in shh) So its really only be devoid of murder for a hundred years I think? And even then its not like shes all powerful and its not like they caught everyone immediately. Hazumi was viewed as too valuable to be in the field for the most part after Judas curb stomped the world with her. So it fell to the peacekeepers so you are right not everyone was ALWAYS caught but you cant hide from someone who can literally see the essence of every living being if she chooses to look. SO the system was by no means perfect. So if they killed it would have to be rare and chances are any of the members who have are probably high value targets for the peacekeepers. although with Hazumi's disappearance everything has kinda gone to hell. What im saying is that Murder has always been a rare crime in Loom, that or it happens on so grand a scale that there was no way to stop it or catch everyone.

Essence of the World: Cadence [Always Open]

Ian

Name: Ian Snyder

Nickname: Koshmar

Age: 39

Race: Human

Appearance:

Ian


Koshmar’s Theme
Ian’s Theme

Social Status: After graduating the academy Ian spent much of his time running missions for the academy as a musician. With the disappearance of Iris and then Sam; Ian began running his own agenda of missions. Due to his increasingly more brutal methods and unsanctioned missions Ian has become a social pariah; at best a sort of necessary evil.

Relations: Ian has few if any friends as his multiple personalities tend to cause problems with anyone he becomes close to. With the disappearance of Sam and Iris, Ian has largely given up relations. One of the few exceptions appears to be his relationship with his father in law Lazarus; the two seem to get along well enough.

General Activity: Whenever Ian is not training, playing pubs, or busy brooding Ian spends his time running missions against the new group of Angels who have appeared in Loom and began causing trouble. With Lazarus retirement and the disappearance of Hazumi Ian’s missions have become increasingly desperate and frantic.

Abilities:
Filipino Stick Fighting- Ian carries a pair of Asps (collapsable police batons) which he is an expert in using in tandem during a fight. As a child of two parents who were never home and a trust fund child Ian had to find ways to entertain himself. One of the ways he entertained himself was by learning martial arts; which included Filipino stick fighting as well as the sword art behind the stick fighting. With his completion of academy training Ian upgraded the sticks to a pair of traditional filipino blades in addition to the collapsable Asps.

Bok Fu Do- Growing up on the west coast of america meant Ian had access to a form of Western martial arts known as Bok Fu Do which takes the best of several different martial arts and Incorporates them into one effective aggressive martial art originally developed by Richard Lee a student of the Tracey Kenpo system. Ian has since progressed within the system and was given his eighth degree Black Belt by the great granddaughter of System Master Buckley.

Paramilitary Academy Training- Ian finished his time at the academy and left as an incredibly trained operative. The presence of Solus Grim at the academy as a combat instructor combined with Lazarus lead to Ian being trained to the highest level.

Instrument

Fidrieon is a two piece nickel plated flute, giving it a dark black sheen, however due to the fact that it's a Fragment it also functions and a makeshift escrima stick which is often what Ian is forced to use when combating the supernatural. Shifting from playing Fidrieon to fighting with his batons is usually difficult.

Fragment Abilities

Chromatic Fall: By overblowing through a full chromatic fall Ian can force individuals and objects around him away from him. The louder the fall the harder the push. The greater the range the longer the push lasts

Space chord: Ian plays a series of notes which Fidrieon holds, the notes are purposefully dissonant and resound off of each other cause extreme pain in individuals hearing them.

Sharp: Ian invests essence in Fidrieon and the melodies he plays can physically cut his opponents via directed essence expended from Fidrieon

Circular Breathing: By playing a single sustained note Ian can hold an individual in place so long as he continues to play the note.

Growl: By playing a melody and then humming a different set of notes while playing the melody Ian can strike fear into the hearts of those around him causing them to feel the overwhelming need to run from him and the sound of Fidrieon

Fragment Personality: Fidrieon’s personality goes by the name Koshmar and is a (mostly) functioning secondary personality with likes and dislikes. However Koshmar suffers from a moderate form of Sociopathy and Ian suspects that he is responsible for more than a few murders. Koshmar has taken to being Ian’s close confidant and advisor

Equipment: Aside from Fidrieon Ian carries a pair of collapsible metal police batons on his lower back, a set of no less than four fully automatic Glock .45 handguns with extended magazines. A Scar-L model Assault rifle modified for a higher rate of fire, and higher accuracy. Ian has also amassed a significant armory of other current military grade hardware as well as some more cutting edge military tech.

Namshiel the Thorned Hunter: A Demon mask which houses an ancient Demon from the depths of Hell. The creature is capable of transforming Ian in a supernatural humanoid hunter with increased, speed, senses, strength and durability. Namshiel also has the unfortunate side effect of reducing Ian’s ability to tell friend from foe.

Personality: Ian suffers from a phobia known as Oneirophobia or the fear of dreams. Fidrieon’s personality, Koshmar, manifests in Ian’s nightmares. While Koshmar does not have an actual form it takes the form of whatever nightmare Ian is having (Ian never dreams he only has nightmares). While Ian is trapped in this nightmare or the deep sleep that occurs after the nightmare Koshmar is free for the next eight to twelve hours to take control of Ian’s body. While this makes most think Ian suffers from multiple personality disorder this isn’t actually the case. Koshmar is not a part of Ian’s personality it is actually a separate entity.

Koshmar is a socially graceful, predatory individual that loved tormenting Ian psychologically. Since Koshmar was crushed by Ian and Iris psyche Koshmar has become more docile and eager to help Ian. Many suspect that he is actually trying to manipulate Ian but Ian has grown accustomed to Koshmar’s presence

Biography: Ian is a rich American kid who grew up as an only child in a family where both his parents worked and generally left him to his own devices. Ian never attended High school though as his parents pulled him from school after junior high as they had lost faith in the education system. Ian was privately educated all through highschool and since his parents generally only directed the core curriculum. As a result Ian took up music and Martial Arts to fill his spare time. Up until this point Ian had been a bit of a spoiled brat but when he started training in his martial arts that was quickly beaten out of him and his current set of character traits started to develope as his martial skills started to do the same. After six years of training every single day for between three and five hours Ian had achieved his sixth degree in Bok Fu Do. Ian’s rise through the ranks was unprecedented, especially given that in tandem he had been studying street survival techniques and Filipino stick fighting. When he turned 18 his parents were ready to ship him off to a private college to get a degree in some buisness useful subject however Ian refused and instead was admitted to the Academy where he completed his education.

After meeting and falling in love with Lazarus’ daughter Iris; Ian graduated from the Academy and originally ran missions to assist the academy. Following the disappearance of Hazumi and the academy forbidding him from going after Sam; Ian hit upon a different mission. While he never gave up on Sam the appearance of Lashiel. Much of Ian’s last year and a half have been spent countering the terrorist Lashiel’s moves as his leads on the location of Hazumi, Iris and Sam long since dried up.

Shaylee

Name: Shaylee Carter
Alias/Nickname: Shay
Age: 23
Race: Human
Appearance:


Social Status:
Relations: Shaylee’s is one of the great-great-great-great Grandchildren of Howard Carter; the archeologist who found the tomb of King Tutankhamun. Shaylee’s family has a family tradition of sending their second child to study at Trinity College. Shaylee was not the exception and was sent to live in Ireland when she turned nineteen to study at the college. In her time there she sat through a guest lecture with Dr. Thomas Finch who had retired almost two centuries ago. After discovering in her third year that she was gifted in magic she sought out the Resurrection mage and moved in as a way to get him to tutor her. When Lazarus learned what magic she was talented in he quickly moved her and all of her possession from England and Trinity to Finch’s Loft in County Kerry to instruct her.

General Activity: Almost all of Shaylee’s time is consumed in lessons. In addition to a rigorous set of courses in Archeology to complete her MA in Archeology; Shaylee also studies the classics. Lazarus insisted that she be able to play music, draw, paint, speak at least two languages in addition to Gaelic and Ancient Egyptian (her choices were Arabic and Latin). When Shaylee is not training her mind she studies swordplay, parkour, and Wing chun under Lazarus direction as well as knowing how to use a variety of firearms. The last of Shaylee’s time is consumed in studying magic.

Abilities:

Necromancy- Shaylee is not naturally proficient with magic however, with the build up of essence in the world it appears to have caused a change in Shaylee’s abilities. Shaylee is a wholly new type of Necromancer: A Spirit Mage.

Lift the Veil- Shaylee’s essence sight allows her to see the dead in the form they existed in just prior to their death making her capable of identifying souls on sight. Shaylee can also read a souls thoughts simply by looking at it. This ability only works on souls which are not in a living person.

Call Dead- Shaylee can locate the recently dead and any dead who still linger due to negative emotions of bindings which are keeping them in a particular place.

Command- Shaylee is capable of commanding Ethereal undead. While she is yet to encounter a truly powerful shade Shaylee’s powers seem to be nigh unstoppable when it comes to damaged or weak souls

Linger- Shaylee can bind a soul to a particular object or location however unlike other necromancers Shaylee can allow the spirit to manifest and act within a set of rules that she sets for the shade

Create Geist- With angry or vengeful dead linger in the places where they died ready to unleash their rage on those unsuspecting persons who wander into their haunts. Shaylee is capable of directing these angry spirits freeing them from their haunts, arming them and pointing them in the direction she wants allowing her to use them as incredibly dangerous spirit soldiers.

Ectoplasmic Blade- The slow deterioration of damaged souls has begun to leave behind deposits of essence which Shaylee can force into physical manifestation. The substance is psychoreactive and capable of mimicking a variety of properties which the manifestor can impose upon the substance. Shaylee has only recently begun to make use of the Ectoplasm as Lazarus has sarcastically named the substance. Currently Shaylee is capable of manifesting a variety of bladed weapons and a few other simple manifestations of it.

Ectoplasmic bolt- Shaylee is capable of causing the material she manifest to become super heated which makes it an incredibly lethal and destructive substance which she can launch at her enemies. The impact is incredibly destructive and causes the substance to splatter like a magical napalm.

Possession- Shaylee has begun work on the ability to not only manipulate her own essence but that of the ghosts she encounters to force them into other vessels. Currently Shaylee can force the essence of Demons and Angels into weak willed humans. As her powers grow Lazarus speculates she may be able to switch bodies with or simply possess other bodies with her own essence as well as force human souls into angelic or demonic bodies. At this point it is merely speculation.

Wreath of Souls- Shaylee’s defensive magic of choice is to take lingering dead essence and form it into a semisolid shield around her to deflect incoming spells and projectiles. This spell requires more attention the longer she maintains it and the more solid it is. Shaylee can manifest it to swat away low speed kinetic projectiles, melee weapons and low yield energy based spells. Any more than that requires her to devote more attention and magic away from offense to her defense.

Evocation- Shaylee has a decent grasp of basic evocation magic.

Enforce Will- While not nearly as powerful as Lazarus ability to manifest his thoughts as kinetic force Shaylee is relatively capable of doing the same

Alchemy- Shaylee is a capable alchemist and has continued to develop her own style of Alchemy under Lazarus guidance.

Equipment:

Canopic Jars- Shaylee has taken to her heritage and makes use of a set of Canopic jars that Lazarus helped her to craft. They act as vessels for Shaylee’s servitor shades.

Mummification wraps- In keeping with her adopted style of magic Shaylee is capable of crafting sets of linen wraps which can be used to rapidly wrap an individual. They are much more durable than normal linen and can cover a person within a few seconds of the rolled up linen being thrown at the person.

Khepri- An alchemically grafted electrum and steel Khopesh which Lazarus helped Shaylee craft. The blade has be accelerated in it's hardening as Lazarus has refined his method for enhancing the properties of the metal. The core of the hilt is similar to Esperacchius as it can store essence for later use however the sword is not a Soul Vessel like Dracul is. Lazarus has purposefully kept the secrets of Dracul’s creation away from Shaylee as he has deemed it too dangerous for her to make use of. Khepri has been prepared for conversion into a Soul Vessel unbenounced to Shaylee.

Rings- Shaylee wears two rings on each hand which store kinetic energy. The rings are replicas of the rings that Lazarus wears and are also capable of releasing their stored energy in controlled bursts. Shaylee’s differ in that while Lazarus’ rings deliver the force in solid flat planes Shaylee’s deliver the force in focused points. While Lazarus can knock down a wall with a single punch Shaylee can put a thousand tiny holes in the wall causing it to collapse. The only drawback to Shaylee’s rings is that they deplete much more quickly as they divide the stored force into however many smaller points of contact that Shaylee needs

Personality: Will Show IC

Biography:

Born outside of Stratford-upon-Avon Shaylee grew up on her parents estate which was a summer home of her great grandparents. Much of her instruction was delivered by a string of private tutors hired by her parents. After she finished her primary education she was packed up and shipped off to Trinity as a average member of the Carter family. While at Trinity Shaylee began to develope a minor magical talent but it never developed into something to write home about until she was attacked by a tormented spirit.

One night after classes Shaylee left campus to go drinking with some friends. The pub was subsequently attacked by an incredibly distorted Spirit. The spirit was the mangled remains of a local drunk who had recently been murdered and whom the police had failed to catch the killer. Shaylee found herself capable of seeing the poltergeist, and when it came for her, Shaylee was capable of repelling and then subduing the attacking spirit. Shortly thereafter Dr. Finch gave his lecture on Necromancy and ancient civilizations.

Shaylee decided that she would convince Lazarus to teach her magic if it was the last thing she did. After almost being killed by Finch’s Lofts defenses Shaylee made her case to Lazarus who upon learning of her unique gift agreed to take over her education on behalf of Trinity college.

@FairessSo Fairess as far as I can tell the majority of your stuff is fine. The only problem i see is that if TWoF had ever killed someone that member would have been hunted down and killed since prior to the disappearance of the Essence of the World anyone who committed murder was immediately identified by Hazumi and musicians or Peacekeepers were dispatched to deal with them immediately with no were for the person to hide due to Hazumi's abilities. Also I'm checking with Wind but im pretty sure the council no longer exists
