Name: Simon Hutchins

Age: 32

Birthplace: Georgia, USA

Current Location: On a plane to Athens, Greece

Occupation: Game Designer

Personality: Inquisitive and curious, if a bit self absorbed. He'll do stuff to help others, but he's going to try and get some benefit out of it if he does.

Hobbies/Interests: Science, especially physics

Family: none

Home Life: Single

Short/Long Bio: While working on an RPG based on the idea of modern street gangs using magic instead of
guns, he discovered that the one of the rituals he had included was causing the candles he kept lit for ambiance to blaze up whenever it was run. He researched the idea further and found that not only could he make it blaze up more, but could even ignite flammable materials if he transferred electronic funds into the ritual's subroutine. A bit of further research, and he found that his energy, electricity, and even items could be connected to it and sacrificed to enhance the effect.
Realizing how important this could be, he decided that he should make a mobile version of the game. Basing it on the idea behind Pokemon GO, he created a worldwide map that procedurally divided every city into districts, and let people use rituals to capture these districts. Of course, the common version merely simulated the spells, not really doing them, unless he used the promo code screen to put in a code to unlock the ability to really use spells. This game was called "Mage Wars" and soon became one of the most popular mobile games.
Any time he discovers a real spell he puts it into the game as a legendary spell. Unfortunately, he only has four useful rituals so far. He can of course add more if he finds them, so now he's out looking for more rituals, either by looking for other witches, or by research.

Form of Witchcraft: Technological

Form of Sacrifice: Usually money (from other's microtransactions of the inactive version), sometimes electricity, though can use anything.

Abilities: He's always been pretty good at predicting random events, well above what probability would say. Since he started using spells, that has been even more pronounced.

Rituals:
Flames of Tartarus: The fist ritual he found could enhance fire. Sometimes when he ran it nearby candles would get brighter. As best he can tell, it calls on Hades.
Summoning: Brings a creature from the underworld. Without sacrifice it does nothing, but for enough money you can summon some pretty decent allies. Usually, he just sacrifices $20 for an imp, which can use a chameleon like ability to hide and spy on people, though they are very weak. Such a summoning only lasts a few hours.
Blessing of Styx: Protects the user from damage.
Apollo's Blessing: Though he is unsure of the source, he found a way to boost the health of a targeted person. With enough sacrifice, it can heal as well. ((THanks to "Sacrifice of the Damned" he has seen a witch use it multiple times somewhere in Greece, but the sigil he saw is incomplete and any ritual around it is fuzzy at best.))
Sacrifice of the damned: Allows one to see the afterlife, or other people in the mortal world who are also witches. Pomegranates must be consumed as part of the ritual. In the game that just lets you track other magic users for a period of time by destroying a "pomegranate" item. IRL it means you have to consume it in some form to remote view the other magic user or the afterlife. He prefers drinking Pom-apple juice.

Preferred Deity: Most spells are Hades.

Deity: Prometheus
Personality: Afraid to show himself to the other gods. Plays the role of a humble farmer that tries to negotiate his way through problems.
Preference of Follower Type: His family. No one else knows he's awake, and he wants to keep it that way. That said, people that are willing to stand up for what they feel is right generally earn his respect, so if he had to have a follower, that would be the kind
Purpose of Awakening: He never slept. After Heracles freed him, he took human form and went to live among them. He's lived as a human since then.
Location: Greece
Appearance:
Choice of Humanoid Appearance, or Physical Form: He never switches, just makes it age at the same rate as his wife so that she doesn't feel bad about him being immortal. Currently in the form of a

Name: Eun-Ha Lee; often goes by Eun, Lee, or Pollux.
Age: 18
Birthplace: Seoul, South Korea
Current Location: Greece
Occupation: Street Performer, relying on dancing and playing music.
Personality: Eun's manner of dealing with people is self-assured and charming, and she is said to be the "Princess" type. She uses her wiles to entertain while simultaneously focusing on what's important. She often realizes things the others are too naive to understand, keeping the information to herself for her own amusement or to watch things play out in order to determine how best to help the others. Eun is calm, logical, and has superior intelligence. She also can come across as rather detached and serious, and sometimes threatening when need be, but this is most because she has a hard time interacting with other unless it's charming and refined; she's never had a chance to let loose. Being blind and deaf on her left side does make her rather nervous and self conscious around new people, especially when performing. She is very polite to people who are in power or related to it, and claims she only helps people who can benefit her somehow, but this is shown as a lie later on.
Appearance: Eun-Ha is a petite girl that stands at five feet and four inches. She has long flowing blonde hair that stops around her waist, one steel gray eye (left), one deep blue eye (right), and rosy white, almost flawless, skin. She's blind and deaf on her left side, but she doesn't wear anything to show so. Eun-Ha often wears short and flowing clothes, varying in whites, grays, pinks, and blues (see Kaori Miyazono for more on that). She's almost always seen barefoot, as she believes it brings her closer to the Earth.
Hobbies/Interests: Dancing, Singing, Performing, Talking in General, Running, Relaying Information, Acting as a Messenger, Gymnastics, Epic Stories.
Family:

• Yuji Lee (Mother; deceased)
• Jimin Lee (Father; deceased)
• Chan "Castor" Lee (Twin Brother)

Home Life: Eun-Ha's day usually starts with her waking up before the sun rises. She quickly gets breakfast ready before calling her brother down in which they always eat together; a promise they made ever since they became a two person family. Breakfast was always fun and full of laughs despite it being on the two of them, but one they finish, they head out their separate ways. Chan goes to school while Eun-Ha goes out and does her street performing so that they would have enough money to keep the house. The times that she didn't get enough money within the day, Eun-Ha would resort to stealing, but only when she was desperate. She would stay outside from sunrise to sunset, doing a multitude of performing acts, before heading home and restarting her day all over again.
Short/Long Bio: Eun-Ha and Chan were never really the types to be into Greek mythology, or any mythology as a matter of fact. It was only when they and their parents moved to Greece that the twins began to enjoy what was around them. Whenever they had the time, the two would pretend they were the gods and goddesses in the epic stories their parents would give them, and act out the scenes to the utmost perfection with them. They even went as far as to nickname each other after Pollux and Castor, the twins that make up the constellation Gemini. They also had their favorite god(desses), with Eun-ha favoring the clever and beautiful like Hermes, Aphrodite, Apollo and Athena. She even went as far as to learn different rituals that correlated to her favorites, her brother doing the same. However, after the death of both of their parents, Chan focused more on getting an education, while Eun-Ha focused more on acquiring money at the time. Despite the responsibilities that suddenly crept up on them, the two use whatever free time they can to reenact the old days when they were sill a family of four.
The day Eun-Ha learned about rituals and magic was a strange one indeed. In the middle of performing, Eun-Ha came across a young child who had scrapped his knee. In order to help calm him down, she gives him a piece of bread (the sacrifice) and plays a song on her violin (the New Magic) that ends up healing the child. It was this that made Eun-Ha look more into the magical and ritual side of things.
Form of Witchcraft: Sigil Magic for the most part. Blood Magic and New Magic occasionally.
Form of Sacrifice: Mostly Material and Sentimental Sacrifices. Rarely the Blood of a Witch Sacrifices.
Abilities/Rituals: Eun-Ha has the strange ability of charisma. Now wait, I know your thinking that anyone can have charisma, but Eun-Ha's a special case. She's able to gain the trust of others easier and persuade as well with her charms. It isn't something as active as what others have, but this passive ability might come a long way in negotiations.

• Merchant's Talk: Helps with negotiations. Works best when sacrificing blood before the negotiation begins. This coupled with Eun-Ha's charisma is a force to be reckoned with.
• Messenger's Call: Allows the user to communicate with those who follow under Hermes. Spreads around a two mile radius and requires a Sentimental Sacrifice to be done. Falls under Sigil Magic. Smaller sacrifices are needed when trying to get in touch with the same person. If messed up, the user gets a small headache.
• Mend: By calling for the powers of Apollo, the user is able to heal minor wounds by playing a specific melody. In Eun-Ha's case, she uses a string or wind instrument. A sacrifice equal to the amount of blood lost is required as well as this being New Magic. Used to heal minuscule wounds. Apollo's Blessing enhances Mend.

• Boundary: This ritual allows the user to communicate with others via telepathy. A form of sigil magic that requires a Sentimental Sacrifice. It's usually used to communicate to multiple people at once or if in immediate danger and verbal contact is needed.
• Divine Boundary: The same as Boundary, but much stronger and extends to Deities; it is also how the user contacts Hermes. Requires a Material Sacrifice, but in this case, the user's conscious leaves the physical body and is put directly beside the god in question, almost like a wisp. Usually used to act as a messenger of sorts to said god(dess) or Witch. Usually lasts for around ten minutes.
• Severed Connection: If Divine Boundary is messed up, Severed Connection occurs. The user's spirit will be separated from their body, but they won't make it to who they were trying to contact, no matter how hard they try. Instead, they will be lost. The ten minute time span doesn't exist anymore, and the spirit must find their way back to their body. If separated for too long, it could have lasting effects. Torches of Hecate has proven helpful when this happens, however.
• Blessed Light: By calling for the powers of Apollo, the user is able to heal the wounded by playing an extensive melody. A sacrifice equal to the amount of blood lost is required as well as this being New Magic. Used to heal major wounds. Apollo's Blessing enhances Blessed Light. Both this, Blessed Sparks, and Mend, can't heal non physical injuries.
• Blessed Sparks: If Blessed Light is messed up, Blessed Sparks occurs.
  While the user is still able to heal the wounds inflicted, the pain that came from the wound is now put on the user; the user takes all the pain from the wounds and shoulders it all. No physical wound will show, but the pain will be clearly evident. Apollo's Blessing increases the pain that's transferred over.

Preferred Deity: Hermes, without a doubt.

Name: Alexander Demitrius Regas
Age: 19
Birthplace: Greece
Current Location: Greece
Occupation: Farmer, Rancher

Personality: Alexander is quite the cheerful and friendly person. He doesn't have a problem with interacting with others. He is extremely curious, near obsessed, with anything that has to do with animals, plants and mythologies. For now, he started with simply Greek mythology, but eventually, he shows interests in Roman and Norse mythologies. He is a hard-worker, as one can see with how he juggles work and studies. But it should be noted that he is a homestudy person. To be honest, he is a fun loving person and he's quite adventurous. On his free time when he's not researching or tending to the crops or animals, he goes out to the city or a town or just the general area.

Appearance: Alexander stands at a height of 5'9. He has a lean type of body. As can be seen in the picture, he has black hair and blue eyes. He has a rather wide collection of clothing - ranging from jacket and jeans to flannel and pants.

Hobbies/Interests: Farming, Animals, Researching more about the old Hellenic gods and goddesses, Biology
Family:
Mother - Jamie Regas [Alive]
Father - Xander Regas [Alive]
Little Sister - Agnes Regas [Alive]
Home Life: The everyday life of Alexander is tending to the animals at dawn with his sister, checking on the crops before lunchtime, studying for some time at afternoon, and then some other miscellaneous things that his parents would come up with. His family owns a field for crops, a barn for animals and then another field for livestocks. They have expanded from just being farmers of crops.

Short/Long Bio: The Regas family has been alive for centuries and they have been farmers ever since. The Regas family has always been loyal servants of Demeter. They were known to have the richest land and the fattest cows. The Regas family were part of the people who lamented with Demeter when she lost Persephone and rejoiced when she bounced back from sadness. They have strong ties with her and kept this tradition alive up to the present, even when the Hellenic gods and goddesses weren't being worshiped anymore.

Going back to Alexander, he was so amazed by the stories of the gods and goddesses that he sought after books and old people to tell him stories. It was good that his bloodline was so closely 'related' to one of the goddesses. When he was a kid, he wasn't very good in following orders. He would often lock himself up in his room to study something. When his sister was born, he became a lot more responsible with his duties to the farm. His life was very uneventful besides the fact that he had learned a lot of rituals that had something to do with Demeter but he has learned some other rituals for other gods and goddesses.

Alexander first learned about rituals because of the Old Magic that the Regas Family passed down from generation to generation. Since then, he has been actively learning about other rituals. Because of the lack of people who practice rituals now, it has been rather difficult but he's still doing his best to learn.

Form of Witchcraft: Sigil Magic and Old Magic
Form of Sacrifice: Food Sacrifice but sometimes uses Sentimental sacrifice
Abilities: He has a connection to animals. He has the ability to understand what they are feeling and what they need, allowing him to form bonds with animals quickly.
Rituals:
Torches of Hecate: He has learned this one for when he somehow gets lost. Just as Hecate had guided Demeter, she can also be invoked to guide one back home. It can be invoked through Sigil Magic and can work without a sacrifice. However, the sigil can be messed up for a less helpful one.
Hecate's Mist: By messing up one of the sigils, one can get lost for an indefinite amount of time. The invoker cannot get back home no matter what he tries. This can last for one to twelve hours. By sacrificing a certain amount of blood and remaking the sigil, the spell can be broken. Though Alexander is unaware of this, this sigil can be used as a trap to essentially put a person in an empty plane by already putting a blood sacrifice on it beforehand.
Demeter's Protection: A form of Old Magic that keeps the land fertile. This ritual is performed during the harvest season. They sacrifice their fattest lamb and their best crops to Demeter to pray for another fruitful season.
Merchant's Talk: Invoking the name of Hermes to help with negotiations. This works best when they sacrifice blood to Hermes before the negotiations will happen. It is believed that this, with Demeter's blessing to the land, is what kept the family going.
Preferred Deity: Probably Demeter

Name: 'Tes Lyn' (Tessa Leann Kline)

Age: 23

Birthplace: Harlem

Current Location: On a plane to Athens, Greece.

Occupation: Actress on Broadway, previous movie star. Current leader of the Salem Movement otherwise known as the Salem Revival.

Personality: Tes is a very open, very extroverted person. She is very compassionate and has an unrivaled love of life. Adversely, she has a very dark side, developed and coaxed by being famous since she was a small child. Still, it is well hidden and usually never seen by anyone, repressed by years of psychotherapy and medications.

Appearance: She has a very welcoming stare, which is what made her famous. Even as a child, many people praised her on her gaze. Her eyes are green, a nice contract on her light brown skin and dark curly hair. She's very tall and full figured.


Hobbies/Interests: Drinking and playing video games. She recently bought the largest vineyard in all of the Americas, located in beautiful Southern California. She's already made back the cost tenfold in profits, a few months later. She churns out 'Satyr Blood' brand wines and has put many breweries out of business. This too helps her cause with the Salem Revival.

Family: Father - Lee Kline, a classic rock genre musician, Mother - Alyssa Kline, a broadway legend.

Home Life: Despite the cheery relations she holds with her parents for the camera, she tries her best to avoid them outside of roles and talk shows. She lives in a very large condo in Manhattan for now.

Short/Long Bio: Born into the already broken marriage of a coke-addled rockstar and alcoholic thespian, by age four she had her first starring role on stage and by age five she was on TV screens everywhere. She grew up on screen, an addict by age thirteen and disappeared at age fifteen. She returned to the screen two years later, a completely different person. There are many rumors revolving around her two year absence, some claiming rehab, some claiming shady happenings with one of the directors on a movie set she was in. At twenty, she started on Broadway and stayed there.

Form of Witchcraft: Blood Magic

Form of Sacrifice: Blood & Sentimental, occasionally others

Abilities/Rituals:
Wrath of June: For a sacrifice of sentimentality and blood, the user can cast an attack on someone that sears someone from the inside out. This only works if the target has shed the blood of the caster in true malice. This also takes a large strain on humans that cast it.
A Muscian's Flute: User sacrifices a good amount of blood in exchange for answers as to the inner workings of another's mind.
Amphitheater: In exchange for blood of the witch, it amplifies the user's voice.
Universal Lighting: Sacrifice of any type can be used for this. It simply lights up a room, no matter how dark or how large of a room. It resembles daylight.
Prosopon: A very fragile and volatile ritual that casts the user a glamor, hiding their true appearance. This is volatile because it is done through the Fates, and requires a significant amount of witch blood to preform.
Religious Ecstasy: Should the user provide a large amount of all type of sacrifice, the user is granted audience with their patron god, or the Fates. This is possibly a very dangerous ritual, as any contact with such powerful and fickle beings could end badly.

Preferred Deity: Dionysus

Path to Witchcraft: In a private hospital, after being brutally sexually assaulted by a drunken director, she got a strange visitor. A very matronly woman who stayed in her room, claiming to be her aunt. She stayed by her side until she was off of life support and could breathe on her own once again. She asked her if she would like the power to stop people from doing that to her again. Her 'aunt' taught her a deadly ritual, which awakened her interest in witch craft. Years later, when Mount Olympus was reclaimed by a thick mist, Tes knew that woman had not been human.

Deity: Zeus

Personality: Very different from the Golden Age. Over the years, he became more and more reserved until he was the true visage of a king. Hera jokes that he simply grew up. He has become more morally aligned over the years and almost gentle, compared to how he used to be.

Preference of Follower Type: Powerful leaders to humans, but devout followers. Other than that, he typically prefers people who have a commanding presence. He favors politicians and royalty, but has a special hatred for dictators and fascists, as they remind him solely of his father, Cronus.

Purpose of Awakening: Continuing Lineage, and gain worshippers again. Zeus hopes to once again become the King of Gods.

Location: Mount Olympus

Appearance: He largely chooses to appear as a human, as anything else is usually too feared. It also makes communicating with humans much easier. Outside of that form, or variations of that form he's only ever appeared to Hera as anything else.

Name: Cirene Cere AKA Circe
Age: 25. Always 25. Not like thousands of years old or anything.
Birthplace:Somewhere in Ancient Greece
Current Location: Near Mount Olympus
Occupation:Witch Lesser Goddess Philantropist.
Personality: Circe is a woman of complex motivations. Once a largely self-interest hermit who did as she pleased without caring much about the consequences, the fate was it so she would be challenged and subdued by Odysseus into helping his quest. Ever since he robbed her heart aswell, she has mellowed considerably and has come to appreciate humans as a whole, but her wisdom is not one that she gives straightforward, enjoying trickery and bending the rules to get some extra amusement.
Appearance: Circe is a woman of great beauty, and somewhat exotic features. She has a vivid stare and fiery hair, denoting her connection to the sun god Helios. She always dresses in elegant clothes and has a polite, sophisticated demeanor.
Hobbies/Interests: Clubbing, wine, fine foods. Also studying the natural arts, the occult, and helping science.
Family: Wuh? Well yeah. Probably someone might still be alive, I guess?
Home Life: Single. Has had several paramours through the ages.
Short/Long Bio: Circe. The witch of the Odyssey. An immortal being whose hobbies included drugging beasts to become peaceful, perform magic rituals and turn people that wronged her into animals and monsters. Everything changed with Odysseus, who shook her little insulated world. But he was a mortal King, and he had a mortal Queen. She nevertheless tried, though, helping him in his quest to return home after angering Poseidon. Smitten with the heroics of humans, Circe became a more warm and comforting person ever since, sometimes aiding the poor souls that by chance ended in her island how to conduct themselves. But to all things come an end, and the era of Hellenistic deities came soon. For some reason, Circe managed to avoid vanishing, although her powers were greatly diminished as a result... She was still an immortal woman, though, and she watched the development of men through the ages. The same humans who she despised, were now enacting miracles. Over the centuries with careful inversions, she amassed a large fortune. With one objective. Make humans leave for the stars in the firmament. The resurgence of the old gods, although it restored her powers, made her worry about the fact they could mean another dark age for humanity...
Form of Witchcraft: Old Magic. She is hopeless with computers though.
Form of Sacrifice: All types. Although, she sometimes sacrifices her Ichor (divine blood) for extra oomph.
Abilities/Rituals: Circe is a master at magic. If she doesn't know a ritual, it's because it was invented after she had stopped practicing. However several rituals of hers are particulary attributed to her.
Curse of the Beast: Circe requires a medium to enact this curse, be a wand crafted by soaking it in several animal sacrifices, or by cooking food tainted with blood macerated with magical rituals. Anyone who's in front of the wand or ingests the tainted food turns into a lowly animal (usually a swine). She knows more powerful variants that can turn people into monsters, but those take much more time to prepare and she is not usually that vindictive.
Charm of the Witch: This other ritual creates a potent charming drug, by employing Circe's own saliva or hair in a ritual strenghtened by other sacrifices. Whoever ingests or inhales the drug will become docile and very likely to obey Circe's orders or coercion.
Gaze of Hypnos: By looking at a target and performing some gestures and symbols, she can make the target fall in a deep sleep. It can be a bit unreliable.
Visage of Helios: By channeling the sun god, Circe is able to emit a very potent burst of light that blinds those nearby. Notably, since she is the daughter of a Sun God, she doesn't need sacrifice. But she can't fire it continuously, requiring some time between uses.
Leash of Helios: By concentrating light into her fingertips, she can shoot a beam of concentrated light to burn opponents. This spell can be quite straining if employed in quick succession.
Ward of Thanatos: Circe is able to grant humans immortality, but this requires sacrificing some of her immortal Ichor, and risk losing her life and immortality if overused. Only one person was brought back with this skill, Odysseus, which afterwards died of grief.
Restitution: Likewise, by burning her Ichor, Circe is also able to purify the most tenacious curses empowered by the most twisted of gods. But since it runs on her immortal blood, it would be unwise to use it as a cure all.
Preferred Deity: Dad Helios, although she knows a lot of gods.
Preference of Follower Type:(if she even gets worshipped). Hunks. Also cute mischievous little witch girls.
