Actually, voodoo is African in origin. It would rise around the 17th century, and has its foundation in West African religions. Shamanism is more Native American. As for whether or not necromancy is among Voodoo practices... well, most practitioners are highly respectful of the spirits, be they departed lives, or as patrons of the world’s aspects. But, just like many things, it is the user who determines what that power is used for.

Voodoo is ritualistic, and involves communication with spirits. It should not be considered evil or dark.

@Lionhearted Thank you for accepting Devin :)
I shall add him to the character tab and add in the sword skill. I think he could have taken it up as an interest and it might come in handy somehow, as he has other form of protection. If an occasion should rise up and he might need it.

As for Vivienne. The major witch coven, she dislikes is the Voodo Coven. There are some witches, that she likes outside of her own coven. Her opinion about the other supernaturals...well it's debatable...as it's bound to change every now and again.

I can certainly change the shop round a bit, with the scrolls. Her shop would also be open to believers and practitioners of magic, not just witches. But to the public, she could sell the antiques like you suggested...and maybe some form of tokens or talisman's, for good luck.
but her shop can be open just for the Supernaturals, if preffered.

@Lionhearted I edited the occupation bit, slightly.

| {Abilities} |

Vivienne like most witches, has a spells and potions at her disposal. She's quite good at brewing potions, elixers and even poison...although, she does not brew poison that often. Only and mainly, by request if her costumers/or fellow witches and warlocks desire it for some reason.

She works in the field of Elemental Magic. Whilst she has displayed power/ability over Earth, Air, Water, Ice and Fire. Her most potent ability seems to be that of control Ice. There are variety of ways and effects, that her spells and magic create when controlling that particular element.

Vivienne also likes to experiment with new potions and spells. Some are quite effective,
some not so much.

| {Limitations} |

The more powerful a spell is; it drains more of her energy. She's learning to build up her tolerance slowly, but on occasion does need a little rest after very potent spells.

When her experimenting is concerned. It can be quite dangerous. At times,her spells and potions have a different affect then intended. Whilst some of her ideas may be somewhat genius, it is not yet perfected.

Vivienne can be influenced, by a Vampire's Compulsion; if she is not wearing her talisman.
Her talisman protects her from a Vampire's influence. But it cannot repel every darker forces of dark magic.

| {Personality} |

♦ Intelligent ♦ Cunning ♦ Creative ♦ Bitter ♦

Vivienne is a bit of a mystery. Her personality seems to change as quick as the weather. Whilst she is capable of being kind and generous; it does not happen that often. To most people, she's cold and bitter. Only those whom really know her, and get past that cold exterior see her nicer side. If she doesn't trust someone, she's not particularly nice to them. But will still show some kind of respect, even if it's a little.

Vivienne is well educated, and intelligent young woman and witch for that matter. Her intelligent comes with her crafty, creativeness. Always looking for some new ways to improve, spells, potions ect. She enjoys the fun with the experimenting. Her creativeness, has helped people on several occasions...when of course, it went right.

However, at times she can be rather scheming and cunning. If there's something she wants, she will do whatever it'll take to get her hands on it. Even if it means, a few hurt feelings and loyalties betrayed. Often, she gets what she wants, through her flirtatious skills and beauty. If that fails, she has a spell or two up her sleeve. She's one young witch not to be messed with.

| {Place of Origin} |

She was born and raised in Salem, Massachusetts.

| {Background} |

History [+]

Born during a cool September Evening. Vivienne was the youngest daughter of Sapphire and Leonard Featherstone. The younger sister of her two brothers Marco and Phillip. Vivienne also had one sister, Lucy. They seemed like the typical, happy family in Salem. Her parents still quite young, having had her two elder brothers aged 19 and 21. Lucy was born, when her parents were 23. Her parents were now 26 when Vivienne was born. Her parents happy and in love, supportive and doting on their three children. Her two elder brothers, annoying like big brothers are. But protective. Even if she and her brothers argued a lot, the three stuck together. They were inseparable growing up.

Whilst Vivienne also had a close relationship with her sister, the pair seemed to bicker more often. Sibling Rivalry, of sorts.

There was nothing, out of sorts about the family. Every so often, there were rumors circling around that Vivienne's grand-mother was a witch. But the young girl, didn't take notice of the rumors. Not being a believer in the Supernatural. She and her family,always viewed grand-mother Elizabeth, as a healer. A wise, old lady with knowledge that not many had. But to others, she was a 'Witch.'

But Vivienne did not realize, there was some truth to those rumors going around.

One day, when she was 15. That's when it happened. Her parents had got into an argument,
with her and her elder brother Marco. As the pair had been out late, in the village exploring after their bed-hours. Her parents had been furious, having been worried sick. The argument, made her feel uneasy and rather annoyed. She thought she was old enough by now, to not have a curfew that ended at 8pm. The argument, had caused the reveal of her powers.

Vivienne had ended up setting the couch on fire. She had no idea how it happened. It was so quick; it felt like a simple thought and boom...the couch was burning. Her parents were shocked, her brother horrified...and Vivienne herself stunned and confused. The rest of her family, seemed to be shocked and slightly scared of Vivienne. None of them were believers of magic and witch-craft. Scared of what her parents and siblings might do. Vivienne ended up running away to her grandmother. She felt like Elizabeth, was the one person she could turn to. A part of her, thinking that those rumors might be true.

After a very very long night, talking to her grand-mother. Vivienne learned, that she is a Witch. Just like her grand-mother. It seemed like Vivienne was blessed with the gift of Elements. At First, Vivienne did not want to believe it and accept it. She tried to deny her heritage, what she was meant for. For about half a year, Vivienne was very reluctant to admit what she was. But her abilities, on occasion showed up again.

One instance was, during the Summer Holidays. Vivienne heard her elder sister and her boyfriend arguing. Her elder sister was highly upset. It seemed like her boyfriend was lying about something. And it turned out, that Lucy had been cheated on. Vivienne felt angry; she felt the need to protect her sister from heart-ache. And without meaning to...she turned Lucy's boyfriend into stone with her magic.

In that moment, she realized she could not run from what she was forever. Going to her grand-mother again. She told her about the incident, worried about what damage she could cause. Her grand-mother understood her concern and worries. Revering the magic, Vivienne put Lucy's boyfriend; erasing his memory of the incident. Elizabeth then soon began to teach Vivienne the ways of Witch-craft; teaching her basic scrying abilities, spells and potions that would come in handy. But also control over her abilities.

Growing older, Vivienne soon started to learn new things on her own. After she opened up her own Wicca Store. She met more fellow Witches and Warlocks. Both, old and new at their craft. But her grand-mother, still being her mentor and guide every now and again. Despite Vivienne's growing confidence and experimentation. She's a witch, finding her purpose and enjoying the magical world, she has been opened up too.

| {Extra} |

She has a familiar. A Cat, named Smokey.

@Lionhearted@HushedWhispers Sorry for the late reply, he is apart of the Voodoo Coven, unless you needed someone to fill the lone warlock role.

Still interested !! Will have a char up soon . God this looks so good .

Looking at all the various bios, I'm starting to see that I'm not up to the quality of writing of you guys. I'm not sure yet, but I think I'm out.

So I want to offer some thoughts to y'all for consideration.

With regards to the Weres and their physiology. Considering their healing factor I was thinking that it would not make much sense for Weres to get scars from wounds as they would heal at a faster rate and scaring would not have time to occur. So any light wounds would not leave any scaring, while severe wounds and silver inflicted wounds would scar. The turned Weres would obviously retain their scars from befor the turning, but after would scar as described above. As for the born Weres, they would only scared as described above.

What do you think? It makes more sense to me with their accelerated healing. If we decide to accept this as canon, the accepted Weres might have to alter accordingly their CSs.
