Usually wearing simple graphic-tees with broad bold lines; such as a single vertical stroke going down the side or a black hexagonal symbol on the chest. Blue, purple, or black slim-fitting jeans fall on his toned legs while dark leather boots or blue high-tops fit on his feet. Occasionally he can be spotted wearing a green bomber jacket that puffs out around his arms. The one accessory he wears is a crystalline bracelet with a dog charm attached. It hangs loosely from his wrist.ใ ๐ฏ๐ค๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ณ๐ธQwen is an unflinching individual whose never second-guessed his own motives. All things in the world was apparently meant for his personal enjoyment and he just happens to enjoy controlling his reality in an absolute, jovial-type of manner. For a long time he believed the current model of life was flawed. One's status was determined by one's influence and yet to influence one's surroundings were a birthright, which meant everyone was truly powerful. His mind seemed to process this conclusion as some sign that he was exceptional and thus deserved to rule all things. In that respect, Qwen has a degree of confidence that others admire and a conceptual intelligence that marks him as eccentric if not wise.
Due to his devil-may-care attitude many a hooligans have flocked to him. Unfortunately, Qwen marches to the beat of his own drum only participating in activities that'll bring him forms of pleasure or fun. Physical activities are best and he's delved into fighting simply because of its avenues of domination on others beings. Seeing one acknowledge his superiority gives him the greatest of feelings.ใ ๐ง๐จ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ธQwen was the fourth of seven children. His parents mostly getting by off of government assistance, handouts, and diligent work. That being said, Qwen's parents were benevolent people, free-spirited, omnists, and credulous. They believed most of all in the gift of innovation and humanity. Which left many of their children to develop into odd specimens. No more so than Qwen Lucifer. Mind you many people looked upon their surname with disgust, leaving all the Lucifer children with a near-permanent stigma. The two oldest were so conscious of their stain that they changed their last names. Qwen ended up inheriting his parent's eccentrics the most, to the point that his siblings were actually wary of him.
After a rather carefree decade of school life, wrought with fights, lectures, and principal visits, Qwen dropped out of highschool. He comfortably staid with his parents, who somehow managed to bring together a prosperous reality. A nice home in the woods, a broken down truck for their "wayward" son, and a gathering of books and antiques that gave their home flare. After the uncontrollable loss of his dog, The Whisper blew in and swept him away to the Grayspace. It brought Qwen face to face with a mid-size Elegy. The sad song that played brought a furious smile to him, reminding him of his dog's makeshift funeral. He mourned that first fight, silent, wide-eyed tears falling as he pounded that Elegy to nothing. The absurdity of it all only reaffirmed that his reality, which had slipped momentarily out of his control, was meant to be under his heel. And his powers were meant to reign it all in.

His crown as seen fit to arm him with the horn of his helm, a short sickle weapon that appears-in-hand when willed.
- MY PRIDE: High-Energy. An ephemeral energy spreads throughout his body, strengthening his strikes and physical abilities even further. With his precise magical control, he can keep this up for nearly a minute before needing to recover.
- MY LIFE: AoE, Debuff. A super intense, wide-reaching blast of energy that drains him of all magic. Limited to one use but has the ability to severely weaken and immobilize all within for several minutes.
- MAW OF POWER: High-Energy Blast. A super-heated frontward blast that stretches far. The fuchsia colored beams explodes on contact, heating the air and damaging nearby opponents. The intensity of the blast requires a cool down period before being used again.
- BOW OR BEND: Support. Qwen imposes his will on lesser Elegies and implants suggestions into humans. This ability can only be used on those he's touched with all five fingers of his right hand. Orders are issued via voice and are restrained to simple commands such as "obstruct", "break", "hide", or "kill".
- PRIDELESS FOOLS: AoE, Support. A less intense version of MY LIFE yet an equally dangerous technique. Instead of severely weakening his opponent(s), the net of red energy reaches out and anchors those affected in place for several seconds. This does not keep them from attacking but moving is out of the question.

Pretty enough to be a girl, Matthew, or Matt as he usually prefers, is not at all shy when it comes to flaunting his god given looks. With exotic emerald eyes and curly hair as soft as they look, further accentuate by an expensive yet not always sensible wardrobe, he both revels and flourishes at the center of attention. His frame is lithe yet fit; the gym is just about the only place he frequents with a reliable schedule, though only because cardio helps with hangovers. So it comes as no surprise when the younger Bradshaw prefers the prolific nightlife with its colorful characters to his school and work commitments.

Matt is good at first impression. He is rich, good-looking and knows his way around a conversation just enough to be pleasant. But once you dig deeper, there isn't much to Matt Bradshaw beyond the pretty varnish. At his core, he is selfish and indulgent to a fault, and pretty unrepentant about that too. His friend circle is huge but constantly changing, much like his hobbies and goals. He holds nothing dear, nothing sacred; he doesn't dare to. He has his fun, then he moves on quickly enough before the icky feelings set in. Matt likes to enjoy the good things in life, and not much else.

The Bradshaws are old money, and it shows. Matt grew up in the family mansion in California, before moving to Bloomfield Bay a few years back, though not by his own choice. His sister wanted to keep a closer eye on him, and he really couldn't muster up a valid excuse to refuse her.
Matt barely made it through highschool. He was not stupid by any means; he just occupied his time with things other than schoolwork. Things such as weekday parties, strong alcohol and a rotating roster of partners. He tried to get things done, mostly, putting in applications for college and signing up for a bachelor program. His sister seemed to be satisfied with his progress, so that was enough.
Then the Whisper had to ruin everything. He found himself in an empty world, later, with a strange humming. The monster that came along almost killed him, if not for the rifle that appeared in his hands right at an opportune moment. Matt had never so much touched a gun before, but for that moment, he knew enough to turn and shoot. And kill.
Even after, he kept seeing things. Hearing things.
It has been a week. Matt had not been entire sober since.

Jeans, t-shirts, jumpers and jackets make up nigh the entirety of her main wear. In general, it barely changes, save for the addition of a slightly larger jumper when it comes to the winter seasons. With only slightly longer hair than shoulder length, she typically leaves it down and untied, unless engaging in cooking or similar, when it easily falls into the activity.ใ ๐ฏ๐ค๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ณ๐ธWhile not the most experienced Crown, Astrid has a decent amount of time and notches on her belt. Combat has tested her mettle, and while her mentor was at one time possessive and defensive, they ran Astrid through the ropes. This training led to her nigh limitless confidence, near suicidally so, if only her wisdom could match it. Astrid doesn't fear Elegies, nor the combat that comes with being Crowned, thanks to the sheer faith placed in both her skills and herself. The faith is not misplaced, as the girl is remarkably strong, however confidence itself grows into complacency. It doesn't help that world wise is not a descriptor that could be used for Astrid - she's naive, and though a powerhouse in her own right, easily manipulated by those smarter than herself.
At one time, Astrid was a meek and shy girl. Her training, and subsequent Crowning, brought about the much more confident persona that she portrays through day to day life, though she has still yet to completely grow out of that anxious little girl. With power at her back, Astrid understands that she can handle anything that comes her way. And yet, when in human form, she fears to be without it. Her Crown is her psychological shield against this fear, that one day her abilities will fail her. This fear is kept repressed as best as possible, but manifests in an anxiety that renders Astrid into her Crowned form for the majority of her time around the city.ใ ๐ง๐จ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ธA child of Bloomfield Bay, and one of two daughters under the parentage of Elisabeth and Michael Rivers. Separated by six years, Kyra Rivers adopted the mantle of doting older sister to her younger counterpart, and over the courses of their time together, built a stable bond that could stand the test of time. Astrid longed for Kyra to return from school in the beginning, and later the chances to play when the day came to close. And regardless of the strain adolescence put on Kyra's end of the relationship, they always returned to each other in the end.
At Astrid's own rise to being a teenager, though, the relationship appeared to end. Kyra spent less time around the house, even less with her sister, and instead spent it out around the city. Though Astrid attempted to reconcile the issue, she was always met with the same, indecisive responses and uncertain replies from her sister, while days would pass without Kyra returning to the household. Until one day Kyra came home, brutally injured and unable to remain conscious. Doctors and their parents chalked the issue up to an assault while passing through the "wrong end of the city", though Astrid pressed for the truth more fervently in response. And finally did the girl give up her secrets, that her life had turned to destroying monstrous beings as the Crown of Sunrise.
Astrid was unwilling to allow her sister to endanger herself any further. When confronted with the idea that Kyra had no choice, she pushed to be taken on as Kyra's protege, so that never again might she be so gravely wounded. Though equally as unwilling to put her only sister through the same danger as she experienced, Astrid's unrelenting pursuit left Kyra with little other choice. Astrid was taken on, and when Kyra wasn't battling Elegies, she was training her sister the very skill that she herself employed, until the day came that Astrid would be Crowned herself, and could join in on the fight.
But the day never came. And then, neither did Kyra - vanished and presumed dead. Astrid was left at sixteen, a forged yet untempered blade. It wasn't for another two years and the same length of grief and family counselling before Astrid heard The Whisper that Kyra had talked about. It was two years too late, she thought, but answered the summons anyway. The training her sister had ingrained combined with the newfound power she developed as the Crown of Damocles made short work of the Elegy that lay in wait at the end of song, and Astrid left, intent on carrying on Kyra's work for until her own life ended.

Though the name of her Crown is only a single sword, she wields two into combat - one radiant, and one shadow. In pursuit of sheer strength, the Crown of Damocles disregards all notions of defence and assistance to allies. It is a single minded machine of war, and its vast single target destructive capabilities show as such.
- SUNDER: High Energy, AoE - Magical Energy is dumped into the blades, greatly improving both the stopping power of the swords, and the length of the arc at which they cut. Swings with this enhancement carve through metal and stone with ease, and improves the range at which the Crown of Damocles can attack from melee range up to about ten feet in front.
- PARAGON: High Energy - A Personal Enhancement skill, focusing Magical Energy into her own body, drastically improving agility and movement speed for the period of its duration like a lightning overcharge. Though the ability for short durations is itself low in energy usage, prolonged activation, for instance to traverse somewhat large distances, drains energy at a rapid rate.
- SWORDFALL: ??? - Though simply referred to as "Swordfall" the skill bears the full name of "The Forms of Damocles Fall", and are a series of combat techniques specifically ingrained into the act of wielding the swords of the Crown. They are seven in total, ranging from single target strikes, to Area of Effect slashes designed to kill multiple close range opponents, to a defensive stance designed to counter incoming attacks. The forms are tailored to satisfy each others criteria, and as such the ending of one form can easily be transitioned into the beginning of another, allowing for rapid, multi-hit combos. Each form also has a two variant systems, one of which takes into consideration the increased range from <<SUNDER>>, while the other the possibility of using only a single sword. The core skills the Crown of Damocles uses are listed below, with more to be added as they are used in combat.
- FIRST FORM - SWORDFALL: A powerful attack, using momentum and gravity to deliver a devastating downward strike on an opponent. The core of the technique involves breaking the enemies guard with a series of deft blows, pivoting off of one sword to rise into the air above them, and then striking down onto their heads with the second.
- SECOND FORM - ???:
- THIRD FORM - RESPLENDENCE: One of the few moves designed to instantly end a fight, usually applied when <<<RUIN OF DAMOCLES>> is an unreliable expectation. It begins with a thrust to the head or chest, followed by a series of incredibly quick attacks to the opponents guard. It finishes with a feint strike transitioned into a heavy, horizontal swing to break defence, followed by an instantaneous thrust into the abdomen.
- FOURTH FORM - AEGIS: The Swordfall's only defensive countermeasure, and the only type of shield the Crown of Damocles wields. It is a form focused implicitly on counters and parries, usually combined with <<PARAGON>> to respond quickly. The stance is best paired with the Second Form by forcing the opponents retreat when unable to break the Aegis, allowing quick transition into the brutal strikes the Second Form offers.
- FIFTH FORM - ???:
- SIXTH FORM - ???:
- SEVENTH FORM - ???:
- RUIN OF DAMOCLES: ??? - A powerful energy absorption skill, which acts passively over the course of a battle. The essence of the Sword of Damocles, the longer the battle prolongs without an opponent or herself dying, the greater the power behind her blows and abilities. An accumulation of danger which ceases only at the loss of life, until eventually, the opponent will have no strength left to spare, and the sword will fall, ending the battle deftly and instantaneously. The skill takes about six minutes to charge, but only acts on a single opponent engaged at any one time; the accumulation gradually increases the Crown of Damocles' powers until they overflow beyond that which the enemy can handle, but once that specific target is defeated, the skill resets.
The Crown of Damocles, or more specifically, Astrid's Crown of Damocles, takes the form of a grey baseball cap, with a small, orange pattern across the peak. Her whole outfit changes along with it, shifting into a form fitting brown shorts and a blue jumper, the latter of which is striped with orange and bears a small cross shaped emblem over the left breast, whilst her hair changes from brown in colour, to a vibrant blonde. Astrid also generates a scarf in this form, which wraps around her neck and flows down her back, occasionally getting in the way of her swords during combat.โ ๐ฌ๐ด๐ฒ๐จ๐ข

At her best, she was that reliable, if silent, Crown in the thick of battle. At her worst, she was the kind of Crown to destroy Elegies without concern for her fellow teammates getting caught in the crossfire. A troublesome person to work with, but reliable and trustworthy when the chips were down.

However, not all was rainbows and sunshine, for not long after, she learned of how cruel the world can be, as she escaped as the sole survivor of a botched foray into the grayscape. Outwardly, she didn't change much to her family and few friends that wasn't involved in the Crowns business, but to those few Crowns that knew of her, she changed drastically from a relatively shy and silent girl, to be a colder and more calculating robot.

A motorcycle will be able to withstand a lot of damage to its chassis, but not as much as a car. While her mana usage per vehicle was extremely efficient, controlling a large fleet of vehicles can drain her reserve quickly.
Her weapon manifests only after she transform it into any controlled vehicles, or integrates it with any preexisting weapons while taking on their properties on the vehicles if any exists, transforming into a jetblaster utilizing the engines to fire mana blasts.

- Hammerspace Garage - Passive - She can store any vehicles she has taken over in a sort of a pocket dimension, throwing both the vehicles and anything inside it into storage for later use.
- Glory Road - Passive - All vehicles under her control gains enhanced characteristics based on their base form.

She will respect those who can support her insupportable personality and see them as strong willed and worthy of her company and almost straight out dismiss anyone who thinks she's 'too harsh'.
Despite all of this, Cathy is a loyal friend and fiercely defend those she respects. If a person earned her trust and respect, she'll respect him or her even if their ideals differs from hers - but even those people would be foolish to try to make her change her view on something once her mind is settled on the subject.ใ ๐ง๐จ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ธCathy grew up somewhere in France - the location unimportant. The oldest of three siblings, she was always perceived by them as constantly looking down on them and thinking too highly of her own person. Fiercely smart and being good looking didn't help her on fixing this 'problem'.
The only real obstacle for her was her extremely short fuse. Growing up, Cathy would crack down on her siblings, friends or anyone who disagreed with her or did anything that might anger a teenage girl - which was quite a few things. Things never got physical, but in her anger she could insult loved ones and get rid of friends, lovers and family without ever looking back.
Growing up, she learned to control these burst of anger and essentially became two faced. From the outside, at her natural, she looked cold and composed and for the most part she was. Anyone that displeased her would quickly be rewarded with her dry and sharp comments - anyone digging deeper would regret it tenfold.
So it was no surprise that, on the day she heard the Whispers and was transported into the strange Other World, her powers manifested in the form of a fiery inferno.

The way to victory is forward, and the enemy has to be beaten into quick submission. No reason to beat around the bush. Nothing else could really be expected from the Crown of Wrath, which enhance physical Strength to monstrous levels and allow for devastating attacks...at the cost of very little reserves to sustain it's own might.
As it's main weapon, the wearer of the Crown sees herself gifted a Great Sword which she can wield with her upgraded strength. The Sword's blade is always heated, as if it was being tempered.
- HEAT OF BATTLE: Buff/Debuff - Intense heat rises around the caster as if the bearer of the Crown was the heart of a volcano itself. The heat weakens enemy stamina. It also buffs the wielder's physical defense by magically reinforcing the amount of physical punishment that can be sustained, as well as their nearby allies. Once activated, it lasts
- FOCUSED HATRED: High-Energy and Focused - The blade glows a bright red and is empowered beyond reckoning; on it's next strike, it will most likely melt armour and annihilate anything that stands before it's wielder - at the cost of completely exhausting the Crown's magic reserves. An attack that can be used only once, and only if not much magic was previously used, too. Melee Range.
- FEED THE FIRE: AoE Buff - The Crowned takes it upon herself to calm herself and control her Wrath and refocus it. In this state, the Crowned shares her magic with her nearby allies, upping their Dexterity for a short duration. In this state, the Crowned is also vulnerable and any damage taken will incur a heavier punishment.

It clothes it's wearer in skin tight armour that may not seem by much, but physical blows will be met by a bright red aura, the Crown's real magical armour. Everything about the look is meant to remind aggression and anger - a foece that goes outward, never inward. It finds defense in offense, self preservation is left to others.โ ๐ฌ๐ด๐ฒ๐จ๐ข

She dresses comfortably, often in short shorts (with thigh highs or tights when it's cold) that help make her legs seem long even though she's tiny. Her criteria is basically 'cute without too much effort.' Her hair is a different story, though. For someone who's usually so nonchalant about everything, the care that she puts in her hair is a striking exception. Izzie spends most of her early morning routine styling her hair, and makes sure she never has her hair the same two days in a row.ใ ๐ฏ๐ค๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ณ๐ธIzzie is like a puppy; it's not a difficult connection to make. Enthusiastic is her default state and she takes on the world with a certain joie de vivre that probably exasperates cynics to no end. She likes to laugh with her whole body and smile so wide it hurts and would shamelessly invade personal boundaries so she can playfully pounce on you. It doesn't take much to get her excited or pumped up, and she has energy to spare. If she did have a tail, it would be wagging nonstop. Unflinching loyalty is perhaps one of her most puppy-like qualities: she does anything and everything for friends, even more for family, no questions asked. It doesn't matter if you're in the wrong or when the going gets tough; she'll stick by you through thick and thin, and will share the blame or the burden if need be.
Jaunty and a little reckless, there are times when she needs reminding that life isn't fun and games all the time.

She still has a mom somewhere out there making loads of money, but her mom valued her high-profile career too much to upend it for her daughter. Instead, she sends Izzie expensive birthday and holiday gifts and takes care of whatever she needs financially.
Izzie has no complaints. Her incredibly doting grandparents constantly spoiled her with their affections, and they let her express herself however she wantedโdrawing on walls, playing drums (terribly), writing totally incoherent short stories that she made them reenact. They laughed at her dumb jokes and supported her when she finally found her passion for singing. If Izzie were to sum up her childhood, it would be as one full of endless laughter.
There was very little Izzie took seriously, but her singing was one of them. She worked hard to hone her craft, and joined any contents and talent shows she could, all the while encouraged by her grandparents. By the time she was in high school, she was a certified Youtube star, on the brink of fame although she paid little mind to that. All she cared about was spreading joy with catchy pop ditties that make people dance and sing out loud.
The Whisper called upon her during one of her live performances, whisking her away into a quiet, subdued world and greeting her with a song completely different from her own. An Elegy would have done away with her right then, before she would have had a chance to manifest her crown, if it weren't for her ever-stalwart grandmother and apparently Crown of Serendipity, saving her butt yet again.

The force field only lasts as long as she's singing, but each note takes a toll on her. This one requires a lot of focus, and the force field can easily vanish if she gets distracted.

She keeps her long dark hair in a braid or ponytail, as it tangles easily if left loose. She dresses in bright, cheery colours (not always ones that match) and often has some kind of eye-catching accessory (again, not necessarily one that goes with her outfit). Buttons, badges, wacky jewellery and hairpins from craft fairs, you name it. On her upper back is a tattoo of her own design; a paintbrush with streaks of colour spreading out on either side of the tip, like the feathers of angel wings.ใ PERSONALITYIn a nutshell, Cal is a caffeine and sugar-fuelled whirl of cheer and creativity. For some, this means she's fun to be around, while others find her downright annoying, not that it'll stop her antics. Acting on impulse rather than logic, she tends to act and speak without thinking, landing herself in trouble. Putting up an air of confidence, though, she always bounces back, or at least pretends to.
Her carefree facade is something she applies like paint to dull canvas, or to a brittle clay figurine. It hides her damaged self-esteem from her mother's demands, her fears of ending up like her father, her worries for friends unaware of the Greyspace, the toll her responsibility as a Crown takes on her. Nonetheless, she always does the best she can, as digging deeper under that vivacious front will reveal a kind, warm idealist who goes out of her way to make the world a brighter and better place.

ใ HISTORYCalliope cherishes her earliest memories of her father. As an illustrator, he was a highly imaginative individual, fuelling his daughter's creativity from a young age. The two would spend entire days walking through woodlands or along the seafront, as he told her countless stories about mythical creatures supposedly inhabiting these areas. Her mother found such stories and games a waste of time, but neither Cal nor her father cared.
The magic of childhood, however, faded as he grew distant over time. He became engrossed in his work, neglecting family, friends and his own health. It was this way that the once innocent Cal came to know what drink and substance abuse were, with it happening in her own home. While out of it, her dad would sometimes mention hearing a strange song. He resorted to any means necessary to experience this otherworldly influence. It was this lack of care for himself that led to his early death.
The last of the wonder disappeared from Cal's life along with him. Her already strict mother kept her under an even tighter rein, claiming it dangerous to get lost in a fantasy world, wary of the slightest foray into fancy. Determined to raise a practical-minded, straight-laced student, she put twice as much pressure on her to succeed in school. Sadly, no matter how she tried, it turned out Cal wasn't academic. Her strength lay in her creative skill, which her mother frowned upon. Many times, she'd verbally lash out at her daughter, saying outright that she'd end up as a self-absorbed drunken head case like her dad.
Cal found refuge in her friends, who encouraged her to resume and pursue her passions no matter what anyone else thought. It took a while, and made the home situation worse, but by the time she was old enough to live away from home, it no longer mattered. She got a job in a cafe, funding short courses in graphic design. On the side, she'd paint, as well as make clay sculptures that she'd sell online and at craft fairs. By now, she had a solid circle of friends who supported her, but before long, she noticed some of them show all too familiar signs of madness.
Some people put the sole blame on drugs, but the truth was even worse. When the odd whisper lured Cal into a warped, empty version of the city, and a diamond-like crown appeared before her, she thought she'd lost her mind too. It was when she learned from other Crowns about the nature of the Greyspace, and the creatures inhabiting it, that she found out what had happened to her dad all those years ago, and what was now happening to the people around her. Since then, she's been giving her all to stop them, or anyone else, from meeting that same fate.

Her support effects can make her a valuable ally, as long as she teams up with someone who can tank hits.
Her weapon resembles a six-foot crystalline paintbrush, which can be used for blunt strikes as well as to channel magic. The paintbrush glows various colours depending on the magic she uses.
- FLIGHT OF FANCY: Cal grips the neck of her paintbrush and presses the tip to the tattoo on her upper back. A pair of birdlike wings grow from between her shoulder blades, flowing like liquid. While she can reach impressive flight speed, the wings are easily damaged. Not only does this cause her pain, which translates to the corresponding area on her back as soon as the appendages disappear, it puts her at risk of a serious fall. Also, while this technique is in effect, it slowly drains her magical energy.
- CRAFTED COMPANIONS: She can imbue some of the clay figurines she crafts and paints with magic - namely, dragons and fairies, as they are her speciality. These sculptures must be under one foot in height and width. If she does so, she can summon them in battle as miniature creatures that assist her in battle. While not sentient, they will obey her commands.
The dragons breathe jets of fire, whereas the fairies can provide small boosts to a person's magical energy as long as they remain summoned, and each fairy can only buff one individual at a time. The companions' moves drain Cal's own reserves.
Although the creatures are helpful to have around, they can't take much damage. Usually, one hit is all it takes to reduce them to a pile of clay fragments. Up to five companions can be imbued with magic and summoned at once.- SPLASH OF COLOUR: Cal's strongest but most taxing move. Her paintbrush glows a myriad of colours as she channels energy into it, which is unleashed upon contact with an Elegy. As well as dealing significant damage, it leaves a luminous mark on the monster that slowly weakens it further until it fades after about twenty seconds. By default, the mark is a blob, although Cal can choose the shape. Doing so provides no extra effect besides a cosmetic one, but why not brighten the atmosphere by painting hearts, flowers, silly faces etc on her enemies?
- GLAMOUR: Alters the appearance of one person or object of Cal's choosing. By doing this, she can confuse foes by making an ally look like someone else, or disguising one of her summoned creatures as a different type. This effect can last up to a minute.
โ TRANSFORMED APPEARANCEAs the Crown of Imagination, Cal's hair and eyes turn brilliant blue. Her crown is an actual crown, which floats above her head and resembles lines of shimmering gold paint more than a physical object. Her outfit, while not providing much defense, is light and easy to move around in.โ MUSIC

One day, she may choose to don a ruffled dress, embroidered and embellished with care, another day she might choose a leather jacket with a fur trim and a pair of shorts. Itโs merely fortune (it is not, Pimea has drilled posture and gait into Tyjhaโs head with a terrifying vengeance) that both happen to work with the girlโs frame.
Tyjha evidently prefers wearing glasses in most cases, perhaps to make the change of her colored lenses easier on herself. Sometimes blue, sometimes her natural violet shadeโwhat color she dons appears to be chosen on a whim as well.ใ ๐ฏ๐ค๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ณ๐ธSweet and warmโat least, thatโs what they call her as Tyjha moves from circle to circle, her presence rooted in each as a support. Most say that she has a certain charm to her, an aura that reminds them of cozier times and happier days. Perhaps it is the genuine concern that she displays over those around her, or perhaps it is her unyielding desire to trust that makes her so appealing. She hasnโt found anyone that has figured it out yet, though sheโll happily sit and take in your troubles. Always. A constant in the downpour.
Still, those that know her best have always known that something about Tyjha always seems to be just out of reach. She listens, without question, but never opens up. She offers house and home, food, shelter, support, everything she can give, and yet she never gives anything beyond the sweet and warm figure that people make her out to be. Attempts to pry further are met with a politely firm resistance. Gentle redirections to keep things away from who she was, who she is, the stories that have turned her into the silent support she has become.
But still, that something thatโs just out of reachโmaybe itโs better not to tap into it after all.

ใ ๐ง๐จ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ธThere used to be three of them. Tyjha and Pimea Lehti and their insufferable brother, Umber Mahogany. Umber had been a ring leader in all aspects, wild and unpredictable, but he caught his sisters up in his whirlwind. Long before they had ever moved to Bloomfield Bay, the trio had been sparks and wildfires. Untamable and wild, a waste of their collective talent, as those around them would say.
But for their comrades and peers, they were leaders, symbols of freedom and unbridled wanderlust that attracted those with nowhere better to go. They created a home that moved along and accepted quirks and oddities alike. Struggle and mayhem were commonplace, but it wasnโt a life that the trio disagreed with. Umber held at the helm, always at the forefront of everything they did because that was the best way to protect those that stood behind him, Pimea worked behind the lines, always ready to ensure that they had a way to back out of their latest adventures, and Tyjha? Tyjha remained the nurturer, bringing out potential from their kin, creating a place they could return to for rest.
By all means, she was happy with that untamed growth. Responsibilities were thrown to the wind, their lives tumultuous as they went, and it was enough. It was always enough.
But the Whisper had other plans for them.
It wasnโt surprising that Umber had been crowned long before Tyjha herself, a power that protected his allies through thick and thin. A power that made him stronger in the face of adversary. A power that fulfilled every need that his wanderlust created to shield those that had fallen in line with himโTyjha wasnโt surprised. For a long time, their added duties did little more than anchor them to a singular spot in Bloomfield Bay. Pimea had no problems creating a home for their group, her own business providing more than enough funding to keep everything afloat with help from their comrades. Things had a certain type of chaotic routine, and it seemed that theyโd continue their rampant behavior even while Tyjha and Umber seemed to vanish from their ventures in the world everyone else could see.
And yet all good things came to an end, as always. Two siblings left, and only one returned, a newfound silence impossible to penetrate and the charming wildness that had once marked her subdued alongside her voice. She told no one of the events that transpired, and the world continued to spin on, but without Umber, their home collapsed, as though unable to support its own weight. One by one, everyone left until the only ones left in their desolate hideout were Tyjha and Pimea Lehti, two sisters left behind with everyoneโs regrets.
It's been some time since they were forced to leave their brash and reckless life behind, but Tyjha doesn't seem to grieve the loss. They traded insatiable curiosity for complacent stability, but they adapted, as they always did. In fact, Tyjha even seems contented, tending to a garden she doesnโt have the time to control and playing too many roles in her sisterโs cafรฉ--sometimes she wonders if she should mention something about the worker with familiar energy. Sometimes, when she's busy putting things in order, she steals a glance at the server, but their paths never seem to fall in line. Still, there's something missing from her old self in her current satisfaction, and it's enough to make one wonder whether Tyjha doesn't miss her rambunctious days.

It grants its wielder a conductorโs baton, ornate and delicate in appearance. While it can be used as a thrusting weapon in dire circumstances, its true potential lies in being used in conjunction with the magic the Crown commands.
- SANCTUARIUM โ Self-buff; Ethereal flowers begin to grow around Tyjha and set up the foundation of all her abilities as a Crowned. They vary in species, winking in and out of existence in the space around her. As Sanctuarium remains active, the flowers increase in number, reaching an upper limit of 15, a measure of Tyjhaโs potential in combat. Use of Tyjhaโs further abilities causes flowers to be lost from her field.
- BLOSSOM โ Self-buff; Flowers of Tyjhaโs choosing within her Sanctuarium become solid, manifesting as crystalline blossoms. These blossoms can be controlled in a general fashion through Tyjhaโs will, but can be manipulated with higher precision by Tyjhaโs conductorโs baton.
- GILT THORNS โ Self-buff; Solidified flowers from Blossom twist and shift, growing or wilting at Tyjhaโs behest. Vines, stems, thorns, larger leaves, larger petalsโthe potential of the flower seems limited more by her own imagination than by the magic itself. At her upper limits, a few flowers can be grown to the size of a small bicycle, though it takes a high amount of energy to maintain them. Tyjha is able to control her thorns like the flowers from Blossom--no real surprise, given that they are one and the same with different shape.
- SCATTER โ Mid-high energy AoE; Sigils appear over flowers solidified by Blossom of Tyjhaโs choosing, causing them to scatter into a flurry of razor petals. The more flowers that are scattered, the higher the energy cost of the ability. Larger flowers altered by Gilt Thorns also use more of Tyjha's energy to scatter, but can produce more petals. Much like their whole form, the shimmering fragments can be directed with surprising precision using the conductorโs rod.
- BLOOM โ High energy attack; Utilizes all flowers from Sanctuarium, regardless of whether they have been solidified or not. An ethereal flower blooms at a location within eyesight of Tyjhaโs choosing, acting the only warning before a crystal flower opens, devastating anything foolish enough to be caught in its path.
โ ๐ณ๐ฑ๐ ๐ญ๐ฒ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฌ๐ค๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ค๐ ๐ฑ๐ ๐ญ๐ข๐คTyjhaโs crown takes the form of an animal skull adorned with delicate flowers, twin fairy-like wings embellishing both sides. Her clothing is exchanged for an gown adorned with flora, the hem of the dress lined with a variety of flowers and the front split over an underskirt with delicate embroidery. While transformed, Tyjhaโs hair grows in length, falling in a cascade of dark curls well past her waist, while her eyes change from vibrant violet to a pale grey. Though she remains just as silent in her transformed appearance, she seems more at home in elegance and combat than she does in other aspects of her life. The difference in demeanor can make it hard to believe that her civilian form and her Crowned form are the same person.โ ๐ฌ๐ด๐ฒ๐จ๐ข

His wardrobe is filled with ruffles and lace and plenty of shiny baubles, but he prefers the pink ribbon hairpin that would incorporate itself into his Crowned form as well.

When he dresses up, though, he puts his all into it, even if some people may not appreciate that he's a man with impeccable makeup work.
He likes to think he's fairly boring otherwise, with a typical taste in gaudy TV dramas and the occasional TV dinner when he's splurged his paycheck on some new outfit and makeup palette. As if making up for his otherwise bland personality, Micah invests greatly in a classy, but overbearing wardrobe to compensate for his lack of exotic experiences and cultivated opinions. He's happy with where he is, but he knows the social scene enough to understand that sometimes, you need to pretend like you're more than you are.

ใ ๐ง๐จ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ธMicah was always interested in traditionally 'feminine' aesthetics, with his love of lace and frills emerging from a young age. He found no problem dressing up in his mother's cocktail gowns when he was younger and often stole some of his older sister's clothes to wear growing up. High school in the wealthy Eastern suburbs challenged his perception of what was normal where his family had never minded his preferences, but he emerged from the trials and tribulations of that period mostly unscathed. If there was anything to be said for his mental fortitude, it was that the world hardly fazed him.
Sometime around his first encounter with the close-minded and hateful, Micah had learned to distance himself from much of it. He did his thing, they did theirs, and as long as they weren't interfering with him, he let things slide off his back like water. He majored in design in college, working hard with dreams of entering the fashion industry, though he was grounded enough to realize it was a one in a million shot. At best, he might be able to intern somewhere for an eternity before they let him do official paper-pushing.
His Crown appeared several weeks after college graduation, smashing through the complacency of his mostly mediocre life and forcing him to confront, headfirst, what living was worth to him. He decided it was worth enough to fight for, even if the Elegies made him shake with terror every time. But even that fear eventually slipped away like the waters before it, though whether that was his own resilience or the Crown's would be an eternal mystery.
The owner of the Sultry Sips was the first to find him after his initiation fight with an Elegy and in the Crown-supplied calm that followed, he listened patiently to her explanation of how things worked and where he could go for further help. It relieved him to be part of a community when he had been struggling so long to really fit in, but at the same time he wasn't sure if the Crowns were anything more than a ragtag bunch desperately trying to save the world. If there were other Crowns out there with more organization, the woman didn't know to tell him. She did, however, introduce him to the Cake Cafe, where one of her old friends put in a word with the manager and his job application was accepted with the briefest of interviews. It's been his home away from home that moment on.
Since then Micah's been juggling his part-time (though from the hours it's basically full-time) work at Cake Cafe, submitting job applications to studios and firms, and killing Elegies as they come along. He's worried he may not be able to fight much on his own, aware enough to discern that the enemies he had been killing so far had been small fry at best. It felt like a big one was long in coming, though he hoped it would take its time appearing.
Micah was lucky enough that one of Cake Cafe's executives was a Crown, from the energy he felt around her, but if she noticed his presence she didn't comment and neither did he. It helped to know they had something this special in common, but it didn't really make for easy small talk. The other Crowns had been hard to reach given their random schedules and lack of real personal connection to one another and he had only run into Dave early on by sheer luck in the Grayspace. The man's appearance shocked him in the difference between the Crowned Dave and the normal Dave, but that feeling soon ebbed into respect. Micah kept in contact with Dave from then on, somewhat reassured that there was at least one person always ready to fight Elegies, though he felt sorry for the state of Dave's normal life. It was a choice, he supposed, to give up one kind of life to live another, but it wasn't one he was ready to make. With the clarity of his Crown's nature, he was almost certain he would never be able to choose the way Dave did.

Its most prominent effect, however, is the subtler, but equally important capacity to withstand mental stress and excess stimuli, allowing Micah to remain unwaveringly steady despite fatigue and fear.
- DRESS REHEARSAL: Short-range AoE. Low energy. Micah shoots his ribbons outwards at enemies, dealing minor, but persistent duration damage for several minutes to everything within his immediate vicinity. Weaker enemies can be bound by the ribbons, but only for a short period of time.
- EXFOLIATE: Single-target + AoE heal. Moderate energy. Micah targets one person within range to bandage with his golden ribbons, healing them of all minor recent wounds and spreading the effect to those immediately around them. A short, five second damage reduction buff is applied to all affected allies after every cast. Moderate and heavy wounds require multiple applications of Exfoliate.
- MOISTURIZE: Single-target buff. Moderate energy. Micah casts a minute-long buff on a target or himself that increases their energy regeneration rate and allows spells to be cast/channeled/effected at double the normal frequency.
- DEBUTANTE: Single-target + channeled buff/heal. Rapid energy drain. Micah targets one person to attach a ribbon to, constantly healing them at a rapid rate and decreasing the damage/effects inflicted on them by a large amount. He is defenseless in this state, however, and cannot cast any other spells until he ends Debutante.
- PRIMADONNA: Single-target buff. High energy. Micah chooses one person (or himself) to make invulnerable and immovable for ten seconds. In this state, they cannot be physically or mentally injured, knocked back, thrown about, or otherwise moved by any means. They can move of their own volition, though.

His outfit transforms into a leotard with a front-split skirt decorated with gold ribbons and lace complete with matching heels. The form-fitting top is attached to a rose-colored brooch and collar while sporting detached, slit sleeves swirling with gold ribbons. His weapon is unconventional, the Crown making use of the ribbons on his outfit as extensions to attack, defend, and heal.โ ๐ฌ๐ด๐ฒ๐จ๐ข
