History

Biography:
Born in France, Cassiopeia grew up normally in the 1800s until her 7th birthday, when her inherited witch powers started to show. Her family originally hails from Scotland, but after years of persecution, Cassiopeia's parents fled the pain in hopes of a better life for them and their daughter. Cassiopeia showed an aptitude for magic at a very young age, and it became quite clear to her parents that there was no way they would be able to hide her innate ability. She needed to grow up with her people and be trained by them.

When she first arrived in Scotland, her family introduced her to Caden and his family. They were the second most powerful family in Scotland. Caden and Cassi bonded quickly and became fast friends.
Cassi was introduced to the rest of her family and was enveloped in the coven right away. They fell in love with Cassi, she was adored by everyone and learned from them all.

At sixteen, she was betrothed to Caden, due to be married to him at 18 when her powers would fully ascend. Not wanting to disappoint her family, Cassi agreed to the union. Caden was her best friend; what could go wrong? Indeed, the pair did date and seemed quite enthralled with the other.

For years, Cassiopeia had been preparing for the night her powers would ascend. She was meant to take over as head of her coven, and the only way to do so is to kill the current head, her grandmother. It is a destined right of passage through the female line that brings honour to the family but also shows the other families of the strength in the current bloodline. Upon her success, Cassiopeia would then prepare for her wedding night.

On the night of her 18th birthday, Cassiopeia succeeded in killing her grandmother. The ceremony of her ascension was quickly followed by a service for her grandmother. After that, Cassiopeia was being prepared to join with Caden the following summer.

A week before the wedding, Caden and his entire family joined Cassiopeia and her coven for a week of celebrations. It was during that time that the friends confided they no longer wanted to do this. The pressure was becoming overwhelming and the family's were acting weird.

Biography
Caden’s history is old. His family rises from the depths of the earth itself, thriving during the Middle Ages when dragons and magic were synonymous with daily life. This is the time when shapeshifters, creatures who could change their form, reigned. Caden’s family took on the title of Dragonshifter.

They were a rare and small group of people who possessed the natural ability to change their form into dragons or smaller reptiles. Any other form they took, they would have needed to touch the creature in order to take its shape. This prestige moved Caden’s family into a position of authority and power. Members of Caden’s family were hired to protect kingdoms and nations. Until one day when they started to be hunted.

Tragedy struck a kingdom when the dragon tasked to protect them was killed, and the kingdom fell. Faced with such loss, the neighbouring kingdoms retaliated and chased their dragons from their land before forming a brigade to hunt them.

Caden is the last of his line, having been born in the middle of this war. A marriage alliance was proposed to save Caden’s family lineage and stand against the growing power of the human world. However, the alliance failed.

History

Biography: Growing up, he was a star student and planned to become a doctor, something his parents highly encouraged. He was diligent, obedient, and always eager to do the best. However, as he was nearing the end of pre-med and gearing to go to medical school, his only sibling, his little sister, got sick and eventually died. Seeing how little time the doctors were able to spend with his sister and how each nurse went above and beyond for her while she was alive, he changed career paths to nursing. This was the first time he chose something for himself and luckily his parents were the understanding kind (and didn’t want to lose their only other child). He worked in a large hospital as a nurse since becoming one and loves to bring joy to all of his patients – well as long as they deserved it. You see some messed up things in a hospital and it’s hard not to hold a grudge against who he sees as “bad people”. He was a favorite amongst the staff and patients, but something changed when his mother showed up in the ER with strange injuries that were unexplainable. Now mourning the unexpected loss of his mother and unable to locate his father, Nic is dedicated to solving this case, even if the police won’t help him.

Skin Tone: Pale

Personal Style: Androgynous in style as Nero doesn’t care about gender norm styles. Will usually be in a well-tailored pantsuit or in dress pants with a dress shirt and matching vest.

Always wears custom fitted leather gloves.

Psychology

Clever * Chaotic * Charismatic * Cruel * Confident * Cold-hearted

Sexuality: Yes
Relationship Status: Single
Personality: As an older demon who’s been around awhile, Nero is easily bored by most interactions. It’s when their eyes twinkle with excitement that you should be scared - it means they found something that intrigues them and you can’t get rid of them easily after that. Enjoys smaller bodies as it usually makes others underestimate them. Some demons refer to Nero as a chaotic gremlin because they are often pulling jokes or pranks to entertain themselves while others sing “Hot and Cold” by Katy Perry because of how fast Nero’s mood can change.
Fatal Flaw: Willing to do anything and everything to stay at the top (Ambitious)
Habits:If bored, will leave an interaction even if it’s mid-conversation; usually doesn’t listen when someone is talking; pulls on fingers or flicks them unconsciously; tilts head to the side when thinking; if they come across a cat, they immediately will try and befriend it;
Hobbies: pulling things apart and undoing them, will sometimes put the thing back together afterwards; intricate puzzles; confusing humans, demons, and monsters alike in any and every way possible; pulling pranks; finding weaknesses;
Fears:

• Anyone getting to know them on a real level
• Someone learning their human name
• Losing power

• Pranks
• Cats
• Unexpected things
• Authority (as long as it’s theirs)
• Absinthe

History

Biography Nero has nearly forgotten their human life the only thing that remains is what they remembered to be their appearance and that gender norms were dumb. Grew up as a street urchin after being orphaned as a young girl. Hid the fact that they were a girl in attempts to pass as a boy and avoid unpleasant situations. Their occupation was a pickpocket and whenever someone was getting close to finding them out, they would leave and move on to the next place to start over again. As a human, Nero was quick on their feet and would pull “pranks” on local authorities to show how dumb Nero perceived them to be. Eventually was caught and brought before the German nobles of the 13th century to answer for their crimes and made to go through trial by ordeal, specifically Ordeal of Fire. (The accused has to pick up a red hot iron bar and hold it while they walk three or four paces. Their hand would be bandaged afterwards and three days later, the court would reconvene and remove the bandages. If the wounds were healing, they were innocent and if they weren’t healing they were guilty.) Found guilty as their wounds did not heal, Nero was imprisoned and would eventually die from infection.

As soon as they could, Nero took on the role of torturer in hell to avoid being tortured. With their delight in cruelty at the expense of others and their ability to learn someone’s vulnerabilities, Nero quickly rose in the ranks. Nero now has a small portion of hell’s demons working under their command and is not slow to point out the shortcomings of those under him.

He leads life very guarded, protecting people night and day, but has a heart of gold buried in the centre.
