Name:
Elizabeth Fortunata Memoli

Alias:
Library

Age:
15

Gender:
Female

Physical Appearance:


“Library” is the sort of girl that is easily overtaken in the shadow of her brother. She stands at a mere 5’4”, with a slight build, the kind of light skin that results from being regularly out of the sun, and her hair, dark brown, is left tousled and to the length of her chin. Her eyes are her most striking feature, however, especially when contrasted with the wanness of her face- light blue, bordering on grey, they tend to express curious hunger, or a distantness when she’s left unpreoccupied.
She tends to dress in business-casual wear, always wearing long sleeves and pants.

Personality:
In a direct contrast to her brother, Library isn’t the most traditional recruit of a villainous school. She doesn’t hold any real interest in violence or world domination, and doesn’t spend her free time toying with others. In fact, she tends to keep to herself, preferring to spend her time collecting and poring over new information than anything else. However, what she lacks in malicious intent, she possesses in a distinct sense of apathy towards most situations.
Library could be best described as a “human Wikipedia”; it’s not uncommon for her to go off on random tangents mid-conversation about one fact or another, and has copious amounts of knowledge regarding topics both important, and entirely irrelevant and unnecessary.

Bio:
The Memoli family is a rather infamous one, being long-lived, primarily Mafia-based, and originating from Italy itself. With their use of illusory and mental magic, they carved out a name for themselves of an organization not to be taken lightly, but still makes for loyal and valuable allies. As one might imagine, this reputation places great expectations upon the members of the family, with the pressure weighing on their backs even through childhood.

Elizabeth and Aristide weren’t the only children that their parents had- in fact, they have quite a few siblings- but they are the youngest. While the heir of the line, their eldest brother Darrien, is expected to take over the head of the family business, the rest of the children are to be the “limbs” of the organization. Each child was put through particularly grueling training to see where their skills and weaknesses lie, and from there, are groomed to best blossom in the role that would best suit them. Library is to be primarily the Broker of the family, and Aristide the brute- or, as Blackwood might put it, the Psycho.

Neither sibling seems to particularly enjoy talking about their family much, though both seem resigned to their role.

Major:
Information Broker

Classification:
Minion

Powers:
Mind Work: By breaking the skin of one’s palm and pressing her thumb deep into the wound, Library has the ability to access the innermost thoughts and psyche of a person. She can look through one’s memories, change them, and even plant suggestions and alter the mind of someone with enough time and effort. This experience is incredibly violating for the victim, and both she and the victim will be left paralyzed during the act- though mentally, neither are. This also leaves Library incredibly vulnerable and defenseless as she casts, and afterward, she will find difficulty in communicating in anything other than babbling nonsensical facts for a time, and generally find her mental state taking a bit of a dip until it stabilizes afterward, though there are lingering effects.
Part of her being at Blackwood is in an effort to try and work around these weaknesses.

Mundane Skills:
- Perfect Memory: Library can remember anything and everything that she learns, in immaculate detail.
- Training: Library can shoot a gun, wield a knife, escape restraints, and has an unsettlingly high tolerance for pain.

Equipment:
- A few knives: her weapons of choice, though she tends to not even bother to defend herself.
- A few phones, largely burners.
- Various books, both empty and full.

Other:
- Has a tendency to neglect feeding herself, or eat mostly just fruit if allowed to. That doesn’t keep her from keeping a stash of snacks in her room and buried in her things, however.

Name:
Aristide Pietro Memoli

Alias:
Ari (mostly by Library)

Age:
17

Gender:
Male

Physical Appearance:


The first thing one might notice about Aristide is that, in spite of his personality, he isn’t hideous. Standing at 5’11”, his build is that of one who has spent time building it through exercise and conflict. He’s lean, with pale skin, sharp turquoise eyes, and luxurious black hair grown out to his tailbone. Aristide has a penchant for half-smiles or smirks, or pursing his lips in a look of general disdain or disgust.
The second thing one might notice about him is just how gaudy he is.
From the fur coats he leaves hanging casually from his shoulders, to the glimmering rings on his finger, to the amulets, the necklaces, the bracelets, the anklets, the countless amounts of glittering and shiny things he keeps woven in his hair, one can easily tell he has no problem flaunting his wealth. Even his leather boots and pants scream of expense, and his shirts seem carefully chosen so they could be left open enough to show the peak of his chest.

Personality:
Bold. Brash. Flamboyant. Aristide is all that his sister isn’t and more. There’s a certain flair to how he speaks and conducts himself, and he seems to demand the attention of whatever room he enters, regardless of who might be company. On top of that, he’s terribly arrogant, with a thirst for violence, and a streak of vanity that runs a mile wide. Cruel. Temperamental. He isn’t the most likeable person as a baseline, though he can muster up some charisma if he puts his mind to it.
Despite his astounding list of negatives, however, he does have soft spots for those he cares about. While he insults and berates his sister on a regular basis- a favor quite often returned- he can often be found checking in on her and fussing over her health. Whether this softness extends to anyone outside of the family is yet to be seen.

Major:
Psycho

Classification:
Minion

Powers:
Fear Manifestations: Aristide has the power to sense the vulnerabilities of a person, and exploit them. If someone has a fear of spiders, he can create the illusion of spiders crawling onto them, or burrowing into their flesh. It takes time to construct realistic illusions, however, or ones that one cannot easily break out of. This, however, has a work-around: by enchanting items and embedding them, he can create long-lasting, terribly vivid hallucinations- even creating feelings of paranoia and fear- that end only when the items are removed. The more items he plants, additionally, the worse and more firmly-rooted the hallucination can be. These items could be arrows or knives, though Aristide prefers to use hat pins for no real reason other than aesthetic purposes.

Mundane Skills:
- Training: Aristide can shoot a gun, wield a knife, escape restraints, and has an unsettlingly high tolerance for pain. Unlike his sister, he also has skill in hand to hand combat, preferring to get up close and personal in a fight rather than fight from afar.
- Styling: Given how prideful he is about his hair, Aristide is an excellent hairstylist.

Equipment:
- An assortment of hatpins, enchanted and not.
- So much jewelry. So much.
- A variety of weapons, such as a pair of brass knuckles.

Other:
- Becomes filled with rage if silenced, or otherwise kept from speaking against his will.
