Personality: Upbeat and calculating. He makes sure to see all the facts on the table before taking any sort of action. He tends to try to make things better without resorting to violence.
Bio: Tyron grew up as a hunter from birth. Though he tended to take the more pacifism path, if he could stay away from violence he did. Through the teachings he found what witches were safe to allow to stay alive, and then the ones who had to be removed from society. Tyron made sure to keep the peace when it could, he was called a failure as a hunter, and a friend to witches. But as long as everyone got along together, what would be the harm?
Personality: Roxy comes across tough and sarcastic. She keeps a wall between herself and others. She doesn't trust easily but if someone earns her trust she is loyal to them. She isn't very forgiving or understanding. If you screw up or piss her off it will be along time before she is willing to let it go. She is brutally honest. She doesn't care if you like her or not. She is very stubborn. Once she decides something it is hard to get her to change her mind.
Bio: Roxy was raised by her father. Her mother was never part of her life. Her father was very abusive of her because he wanted a son but was never able to have one. She rebelled against his expectations out of spit. She spent more time on the streets then she did at home. She left home on her eighteenth birthday. She found an old warrior willing to take her under his wing. He gave her a place to live and taught her everything he knew.
Sexuality: Straight, although she doesn't entirely rule out women if the opportunity arises.
Appearance: Annelise is short for her age, about 5 feet, and she weighs no more than 98 lbs. She has light-brown hair and pale green eyes. No major scars or tattoos adorn her pale skin.
Personality: A sarcastic, witty comedian at times, but otherwise keeps to herself. She's social at her job, like she has to be, but she much prefers to spend her time solving a complicated puzzle. It shouldn't go without saying that she can be quite the party animal if she's in the mood for it though.
Bio: Originally from Denmark, Annelise and her parents migrated over to the states when she was just 5 years old. They settled in Carlsford with minimum struggle as all three members of the family were bilingual, although Annelise still suffered from culture shock due to her young age.
Fast forward 8 years later and out of the blue, the young girl learns she's a witch. The discovery was purely accidental after she cut herself with an abalone shell and noticed she could manipulate her blood without touching it. A few more series of tests followed, and it finally sunk in for Annelise that she was indeed a witch. Despite her close relationship with her parents, Annelise never told them about her ability.
Currently, the young woman holds a job as a bartender in Blue Sam's, one of the busier bars on Main Street. She's had the job for 5 months ever since going on break from medical school, that which nearly led her to have a full mental breakdown from all the stress she was enduring. While simultaneously drowning in her studies, members of the coven were attempting to convince her to join. Annalise always declined, much preferring the "lone wolf" status so that she could avoid whatever trouble came their way. She had enough on her plate already, and she didn't need more problems.
Magical Specialty: Blood manipulation. A rainbow abalone pendant hangs from Annelise's neck, that which she uses to cut herself [or someone else] in order to gain full control of her [or their] blood.
"Just calm down and enjoy what's around you before it all starts slipping away before you even noticing it. Not knowing what you had before its too late, that's what life is like..."
Daniel Ó Briain
Born on June 22nd. He looks like he's in his mid-30s but is much much older, however, nobody needs to know that.
Male
Daniel doesn't have a problem over whoever gender is his the partner that he is trying to pursue as long he likes them. Not minding if whatever he gets into is either a fling or short-term relationship, usually bouncing with different people for the added spice in life and exchanging moments between them. Having little worry who he is involved with as long both of them are having fun and enjoying themselves when they are together for how long. On occasion, though, he does have long-term relationships with someone usually special who he feels attached to. For all purposes, he is considered Pansexual.
Daniel's bulky form has been something he has worked on which has on occasion been the subject to a few people glancing at twice. Perhaps its from his tall stature of six feet and three inches where he is usually the tallest in the room and weighing around 189 lbs without else. Born in Ireland, his previously lighter skin has tanned from being in the sun all the time which has absorbed its color along with his chocolate colored hair and matching light brown eyes. With his hair cut short on the sides for a fade and then styled, he seems to have a good handle of his own appearance. Having some tame facial hair on his prominent jawline that prickles against the skin if you feel it or rub against it, trimmed to remove any messiness with it. Along with his lips angled to always seem like he has a small smirk whenever you look at him.
Daniel's prominent trait is him as an extrovert with an obvious outgoing personality that anyone can see just by looking at him. With the look on his face, knowing he is confident about himself and what he is wearing which conveys much without being said. Having this air of self-confidence about himself that seems unwavering, it also shows when he talks with that cool headed and calm demeanor that wouldn't be embarrassed to ask or reveal anything. As a person with his confidence, he wouldn't be afraid to stand as a rebel against the norm or at the same time take the position as a leader for something that he believes in.
He is a person who would be considered being fun to be around, as he is always looking for something to do whether it be with a group or by himself. Seemingly having an appetite for conversation, he is clearly a people's person who loves to talk to people and get to know them. Combined with the fact that he is a flirtatious person, he can make a person chuckle at how smooth he can pull something off without a second thought. It makes his personality great for taking along to go to any kind of party as he's a polite guest who isn't afraid to join in the fun once it starts rolling.
Daniel as a guy with many friends is inclined to be generally trusting and doesn't mind lending a hand to those who needs it and freely offers help to those who won't ask. He has a rather positive view on life but with a good dose of realism that keeps him in check, seeing many of the faces that appear in humanity and himself. All he can do is always try to do his best to live his own life the fullest with the hope that nothing will throw it too out of whack.
Born in Ireland a long time ago in the 1700s where the beginnings began for Daniel who was a boy. Born to parents both witches who raised him well and proper as expected of the time and raised him to be like them. Teaching them the magic of their practice, talented enchanters who forged weapons with runes that enchanted their properties. A relatively mundane form of magic compared to the explosion of the elements and the dead being raised from the graves. Learning the art of enchantment and was eventually taught the ancient practice of using runes from his parents.
Growing up, his abilities only increased as he learned more and more before finally leaving his home and began to explore the world as an entrepreneur to broaden his horizons. Trading secrets with other witches that he met and came across countless covens both good, bad and evil. Meeting his fair share of witch hunters as well, fighting off a good majority of them and on rare occasion befriending one or two that he'd meet. Making many memories as he traveled all over Europe to finally America. Experiencing a fair amount of animosity for the supernatural and simply race, he quickly grew hard skin from the poisonous culture back then.
Eventually, he got his hands around a few blueprints for several mystical runes that could be forged into powerful spells. Having to go back to Europe to snatch the pieces of magic which would greatly benefit him. He had to do several unpleasant things to achieve them but it's all for the results that would come to fruit. Obtaining the runes with a few bloody prints on them, where he went to study them.
At the age of forty with his life dedicated to magic, he unlocked the secrets of those mystic runes after a decade of experimenting. A few disastrous results but he obtained what he hoped for, a method to achieve immortality which would be permanent. Escribing the spell onto his body which held his physical form together and eventually after a few additional lines which mended the scars. As time would pass, his later edits to the template of the spell allowed some recovery of aging as well. Allowing him to live much longer than what was possible and sought to give this gift to his family. Of course, they accepted and their bodies were able to face the test of time, as they lived for a very long time. However, while they would remain unaffected by time, everything else would not wait for them.
They only began to realize that their little bubble would not shelter them, long past the rumors which World War 1 would sprout itself up. It was they who were stuck in the crossfire between the warring countries as they fled for safety. With a few close calls, they survived as they bunkered down in Ireland and faced the brunt of the war with magical defenses. Despite the war, they thought everything was fine after the Triple Entente won the war. However, it slowly dawned on them when Hitler came into power, the red herrings were being released and they fled.
Immigrating to the United States, while familiar to Daniel, it was a long time since he visited the country as he supported his parents. Allowing them to settle down in the great nation of America, they fully assimilated themselves with their neighbors as best they could. Even getting into the war effort, as they participated in many of the orchestrated events both nationally and from the neighborhood. Using magic to disguise them through the years and moving several times, they amazing never were caught. Cheering along with the rest of the Allies when the end of World War 2 came to be and the defeat of the Axis Powers.
To survive the war but only die in the aftermath was saddening, as Daniel and his family were targeted by Hunter during the Red Scare. A popular time like the Salem Witch Trials where hunters sought to uproot covens of witches. In these tragic events, his parent's death and many more witches were killed and hidden with many innocents. These attacks were lead by Joseph McCarthy who organized many of these hunts and was the most notable hunter in his time. With hundreds if not thousands witches dead, Daniel only survived by his bare teeth when he moved to less populated states where hunters were less likely to hunt. Eventually, finding himself in the early 2000s in Carlsford where he made himself a resident. Feeling not obligated to mention that he was a witch, he heard of the coven here and they could think anything about him. It didn't matter so long they didn't go out of their ways to mess around with him.
Eventually, he grew into the community as he bought and ran his own place of Main Street where he ran a restaurant. Calling it The Golden Cup where it served mostly as a bar but was a surprisingly accommodating place with a few rooms to be rented if asked for. However, recently drama been stirring up with the neighborhood coven which he still hasn't joined and made sure his nature as a witch wasn't blatantly obvious.
Daniel is an advance user of enchantments in the form of runic magic, a form pertaining usually to magic from a Nordic background. Able to write letters which symbolize certain words which can create and reinforce magical phenomenon, in more modern uses it can be used to make magical shields which protect or reinforce objects with magic. However, with more study and specialization in runic magic, it is a language which can reproduce magic so long as you understand how to perform them. With single runes being weak in terms of how advance it is, stringing together with the correct runes into phrases or arrays can craft a mighty spell.
Usually, these runes have to be drawn onto a physical medium before their magic can be realized safely. If one is confident in their skills then one can recite their runes to cast spells at their own risk and should be limited to their knowledge to be safe.
Runes generally have either 'positive' or 'negative' effects which dictate whether they are either defensive/supportive in nature or offensive/debilitating. Meaning that each spell has an predetermined effect when being constructed which can only do that, as an defensive spell cannot be used to harm or an offensive spell cannot be used to do anything else but harm.
Ehwaz - Rune of Strength: A common rune capable of being placing onto an object to increase its strength and durability akin to metal if its an inferior material. If placed on a metal, its durability is increased at a reduced amount but still functions as normal. However, if cast on his body (his arms generally), it temporarily gives him strength to do a variety of things and no doubt allow him to easily harm the average human. It adds a good 50 lbs of weight on him when he's benching if that counts for anything.
Kenaz - Rune of Sight: A more uncommon rune which can be applied to ocular devices and used for a variety of purposes. Amplification or extension of sight is simple, while piercing magical abilites may take some time to adjust the magic to see through them. When placed on himself, he can see twice as far in the light and dark than a normal person.
Laguz + Sowilo + Mannaz - Runes of Healing: A common spell among runecaster which described on their bodies can heal scrapes and bruises easily. Intended for more serious injuries, it can handle gashes and wounds up to moderate severity before actually requiring real medical attention. In cases of severe or fatal damage, it can stabilize the person in a single burst of energy and slowly continue to knit the body together but they will still be in a terrible condition if not taken to a doctor.
ThursHagal - Strengthened Runes of Shielding: A combined rune of protection which is used in more magical battles, capable of defending the common spell thrown by a witch. Sufficient for most curses that are cast from afar as well which will be negated by this spell. Using it during battle is usually difficult or impossible but when placed on a object, it will indeed ward away spells and block them when hit. On apparrel, it protects against the magic of negative intent which is useful when placed on them
Hagalaz + Laguz + Isa + Nauthiz - Protective Runes of Endurance and Retaliation: Another sentence of runes which no true practioneer of runic magic shouldn't know. It protects against both physical and mystical attacks, using their energy to reinforce and fuel the spell itself. Any magic left from the runes after each attack will be transfer into a single point where once passed will unleashed the stored energy as a powerful counterattack.
NauthHagal - Runes of Good Luck: Akin to the good luck charms of the eastern practices, this runes provides the same effect. While you're probably not going to win the lottery. it'll certainly help and slightly improve everyday life if applied onto an object to be carried around. Applying this onto the body will give a small boost to luck for a short instance but will face a surprisingly drain of stamina that approaches the point of exghaustion (trying to control fate ain't going to be easy).
Frgïle + NauthUr - Strengthened Runes of Deteriorating Luck: The first curse of the list, imbued usually in an object which will radiate its magic onto its victims. Causing a moderate decrease in luck to the person or place that it was set which will continue until the object the spell is casted on is destroyed. If casting this rune onto himself, it must be something that Daniel really must want to fail to do so which will most likely fail.
Frgïle + ThursFaHagal - Strengthened Runes of Fire Cage: The first defensive spell on the list, it is a combination of runes which when cast will cause a powerful cage of fire to trap the victim in. Its naturally weak to elements that would destroy fire but resistant to those that it naturally is.
Frgïle + ThursFaHagal - Strengthened Runes of Consuming Fire: The first offensive spell which when cast will create a fireball which have a soft homing effect, angling itself slightly to try and best capture its victim. It will not do instanteous 90 degree turns, but it can curve itself to chase its target if it has the space to do so or be extinguished. At its quick speed, it rarely has the change to redirect itself but when it hits its target, the flames will rarely extinguish themselves naturally. Similar to a curse which will chase its target if it ever falls away, it can only be smothered by another spell or runs out of energy to sustain itself.
Frgïle + ThursFaOs - Strengthened Runes of Beam of Fire: A simple spell but power that it literally is a laser of fire which will burn through most fabrics immediately if not protected. Metal will slowly heat themselves to melting point and be destroyed within minutes depending on what it is. Its capable of inflicting second-degree burns easily and third-degree if sustained in its entirety.
Frgïle + ThursIsOs - Strengthened Runes of Spear of Ice: Another simple spell which is like a toothpick going through a piece of fruit. Its sharp enough to pierce through the human body and thinner pieces of metals but is fragile compared to sturdier materials. Sharp enough to make a cut into a mature tree but not sturdy enough to pierce through against its toughness.
Frgïle + ThursHagal - Strengthened Runes of Binding: An empowered curse which binds the body that it is written on, restraining the limbs from being used and slightly numbing the body for the duration. It is capable of being written on the body of the intended target for more durability or placed on a object which activated will perform the spell.
Literally pages of more combination but you get the general idea...
N/A for now...

The Golden Cup
The Golden Cup is a small restaurant which during its open hours during the day is a cafe and bakery which sells a variety of food to the public. Often selling coffee in the morning and afternoon to passing people in the morning along with items for breakfast or those who skipped it at lunch. However, there are other dishes which they sell for a fair meal at a reasonable price which taste great for what its worth. During the evening, it turns into less of a cafe and more into a bar where adults come out to play. Serving a variety of alcohol which he stores safely under the counter and bar where it's easily accessible yet hidable.
The Golden Cup is remarkable in the fact that it's a notable place in the town of Carlsford and a popular place for tourists. The place is well staffed to handle it's size as a multi-storied building and has an upstairs which is accessible by stairs. It is big enough to host a restaurant on the bottom floor and serve as suitable living quarters for Daniel with a Master Bedroom along with a bathroom connected to it.
Underneath the restaurant, there is a basement which is secured by a hefty door which is locked by two deadbolts from each side and magically reinforced by magic. It guards the storage of materials used to supply the restaurant that are needed and more, anything else is placed into the kitchen. Its a perfect spot to perform anything magical which he doesn't want anyone to see and well secured to prevent the ordinary person from entering.
And now, our not-so-fearless First Sister, as well as a new hunter to balance things out.
Name: Elizabeth Redding
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Appearance: Elizabeth is tall and willowy, almost to the point of looking a little underweight. She has red hair, green eyes, and a few freckles that bely her father's Irish ancestry.
Personality: Elizabeth is a tomboy through and through. She often joked in high school that her preferred nail polish was dirt, and was always eager to keep up with the boys. She also has a mile-wide streak of sass, something that isn't helping her in her new situation as First Sister.
Bio: Elizabeth's story is one of rejected privilege. Her father had no knowledge of the coven, but has built one of the largest construction companies in the state from the ground up, so Elizabeth grew up flush with cash. However, he spent so much time with his business that he neglected Elizabeth, and her mother just saw her as something to trot out for the latest society party. She desperately needed a parental figure in her life, and Aunt Mary Anne provided it.
Mary Anne recognized she had the gift of magic from an early age, and started training her among the coven. Elizabeth threw herself into magic and proved herself to be talented. She also remained levelheaded despite her money and skill. When Mary Anne was diagnosed with terminal cancer, beyond any medicine or spell to heal, she was devastated. Her designation as the new First Sister stunned her. Other witches had far more experience and seniority than her, but Mary Anne insisted until she gave in. Now, she's trying desperately to get a handle on coven politics before things get ugly.
Magical Specialty- Necromancy. For Elizabeth, death is not so much a wall as it is a doorway to power. She is extremely adept at physical necromancy, or manipulating corpses and skeletons, and is starting to learn spiritual necromancy, the power over spirits of the dead. True necromancy, or resurrecting the dead, is far beyond her skills at this time.
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Appearance: Short and wiry, with black hair, green eyes, and a bushy beard.
Personality: Alex is a laid-back practical joker when he's not hunting, almost like that kid in college who hadn't quite gotten the grasp of maturity. When he's at work, though, he's intense enough to frighten other hunters, let alone the witches he kills. It's almost like somebody flips a switch inside him.
Bio: It all began when Alex was twelve. He was over at his friend Amanda's house when he found some books. Books detailing dark and malevolent rituals that could kill, and worse. He confronted her, and Amanda broke down, confessing that she and her father had been planning to use his friendship with her to lure him into their house, then put him to sleep with a spell and use his life force to fuel their magic. That was his first experience with witchcraft.
After that, Alex devoted himself to finding and killing as many witches as he could. He doesn't trust witches who claim they don't use magic to harm, believing that it's just a matter of time before they fall into darkness. Rumors of magic have brought him to Carlsford, and he's looking for other hunters to ally with.
Weapon- A revolver that he loads with silver bullets. He's also decent with a sword.
Personality- She is a fan of intimidation, it’s a good front to cope with strangers or demons. To her, intimidation moves things along on her terms than the other party. When comfortable with others, she’s upbeat and tries to stay on top when in conversation. She has her ways of getting around things and is skillful at flirting or charming.
Ode is passive aggressive when having a disagreement, and builds up a grudge against the person. Ode can forgive, as long as the number of disagreements isn’t at large. At times of involving dangerous circumstances, Ode hints of mischief but is serious throughout its process
Brief Biography-
Ode is the descendant of many witch doctors that were shipped over from their homes as slaves. Many times, they were killed as witch hunts were common during their time. At the end of the civil war, they would live among themselves within hiding, knowing of the hunters that would come after them. Once a child would come of age, they would be sent off to a far off location to fend for themselves.
Strictly raised as a way of protection, Ode learned many charms to ward and "cure" from demons that were set free by previous family members out of hatred for those that imprisoned or harmed them. Specific curses and spells were required to be memorised, preparing for a hunter attack.
Magical Specialty- Summoning and handling spirits and demons, controlling others with voodoo, a number of curses, cures to heal blights or regular sicknesses, and tricks to ease simple things in life.
Personality: Though soft-spoken, Lars is very strong-willed, he is not afraid to stand up for what he believes in and to for what he wants. Many take advantage of his quiet attitude but most of the time he tries to ignore it. Lars is more of a do-er, he can be kind and likes to show it through his deeds and actions.
Bio: Lar Samuel Crow is the child of Jenifer and Brain Crow. His mother is an average witch who specializes in healing and enchantments, while his father was more of a man of mystery. He liked to experiment and dabbled in the darker side of magic. But this normal for Crow magicians, they are known to push boundaries and test the patients of the Carlsford Coven. Most Crow magicians either get in major trouble or are praised for their achievements.
Lars' mother and father are both witches so naturally their when their son was born he had magic as well, but they hid the truth from him for most of his life for some reason only they know. They would use spells to shield and lock away his power. This means his childhood was a show of smoke and mirrors, every time the spells would weaken and Lars would start to do things that were not human, his parents would freak out and use even more powerful spells to lock his abilities.
It was not until he graduated high school that his parents came clean, they told him all about the coven, magic, and what he really was. Lars felt betrayed and hurt, he wondered for months how his parents could do what they did with no explanation at all, and all he got was a "I'm sorry" and the occasional guilt on their faces. He now spends his days learning how to control his magic and find out who he really is.
Magical Specialty: Elemental Spell Casting. mostly spells that have to do with the elements and healing, also he learned how to use telekinesis.
Personality: She's kind and helpful though at times she may come across as sarcastic or tough even though she's a total sweetheart inside. She treasures time and she uses life to it's fullest before time runs out. She's exuberant and at times maybe a bit cold to some people but in the end people can see that she truly is a good character behind her tough girl cover.
Bio: Her divorced mom and dad were especially proud of their beautiful daughter in the past. She's had a very kind of spoiled life as both of her parents spoiled her. But she's seen some hard times sometimes, she's been betrayed by many such as her own older brother and best friend where they made sure to make her life as bad as it possibly could be because in a way they were jealous of her cool disposition and nice life. They do not know that sometimes she gets bullied so much at school or is very insecure and almost spends all her life in a park nearby her house that she loves. She usually just sits there and writes poetry. Her mom and dad have noticed her distance and ever since her brother has had more success than her they are paying more attention to him than her. She finds it perfectly fine. After all they should be proud of him and not her, the imperfect one and the victim in every situation.
Magical Specialty: Time magic is her specialty (freezing time for a very small amount of time, max is 10 seconds, she can also speed up time or rewind time but for a max of 2 minutes)
