She can also make constructs like walls and clones of herself for defense and escape. And for in case of emergencies she can use the shadows to teleport away, within a 5 mile distance. This is also very draining and she won't be able to use her shadows again until she rests.

Place of Birth: Philadelphia, PA
Currently Residing: New York City
Personality: To say Circe is insane is a huge understatement. She enjoys playing with her "toys", making sure their pain lasts for many days. Circe can also be seen making shadow clones and talking/arguing with them. She believes that she is the embodiment of chaos, and her fighting style reflects that. Mostly that she her moves are impossible to predict
History/Bio: Circe was born to a poor mother and abusive father in the slums of Philadelphia, by the time she was five her mother had been killed by her father in a particular drunken rage. She was sent to a foster home, that mistreated her for having a mage mark, breaking her mind irrevocably.

By the age of 12 she had run away and began learning of her powers. Circe lived on the streets until she was 16, stealing and killing her way through Phili. One day she decided to rob a bank bringing the attention of the police, in a bid to get away she killed all twelve hostages she had and teleported out of the bank finding herself on a cruise ship boung for London.

For the next four years she lived in mostly Asia and Europe, traveling around, mastering her Dark Sun ability. Eventually she settled in Romania where she lived in solitude, pillaging villages as she moved around. Many of the survivors noted that Circe seemed a bit unhinged, talking to shadows, and killing as her mood demanded it.

Soon after gaining government attention she decided to run back to America. Upon her arrival she caught wind of a group of like minded individuals coming together to take over and she immediately joined up, fighting and clawing, and killing her way to Lieutenant.

Place of Birth: Cambridge, Great Britain
Currently Residing: New York, United States of America
Personality: Devilish, Overconfident and conniving would be the three best words to describe Aloysius as he got older. Proud of his heritage and snobbish to anyone who isn't, his evil streak has gotten worse over the past few years. He has developed a sadistic streak, enjoying mental torture and torment. Almost always bearing a grin or a smirk, Aloysius has convinced himself of his superiority over others and while this can be true in most cases, it has caused him to get into some perilous situations in the past. There is however a much more sheepish side of Aloysius that breaks through at times, despite how hard the sadistic, egotistical part of Aloysius tries to suppress it.

History/Bio: Aloysius had the privilege of being born into one of the four great magical lineages in the world. And while the de Silva's had ruled for longer than Aloysius had been born, his status did bring about a certain kind of upbringing. Born to a British Mother and a Japanese Father and growing up in upper class England, Aloysius was bought up with a sense of entitlement and superiority over others.

His mother was the one who had the magic powers, his father being a non-magi who had no idea the kind of power that coursed through his sons veins. So instead his father focused on his business, an armaments business that he inherited from Aloysius's grandfather. When Aloysius was around 10 Years old the family moved over the United States. Unfortunately, his father died two months later under especially suspicious circumstances. Rather conveniently his mother stood to gain the family fortune. In a cruel twist of fate for the egotistical women, when the will was revealed the fortune was split in half between his mother and Aloysius.

So aged 11, Aloysius was set for life and stuck in a country where he had no friends and most certainly did not fit in. It was around this time that he began to discover the magic power inside him. Given his heritage, Aloysius was going to need special training to contain and hone his powers. Standard Guild training was not going to be enough, so he was enrolled into special classes with the Guild Senior leadership.

It was at this time that he met Salem for the first time, the prestigious daughter of the Guild Leader and heir to the Guild. Many expected them to become rivals, just like the families of the past. But while they didn't become best of friends, they most certainly got along. Some of them even expected them to get together. His mother could saw Salem as a threat, an attempt by the de Silva's to weaken and eliminate the Legihton's the history books. She began to manipulate Aloysius, convincing him that Salem was going to backstab him when he came of age and that he needed to strike first.

Once he turned 18 he stormed away from the Guild, rather than joining up and started his own little rebellion. Salem's father decided to take a rather pacifist approach to Alysious's rebellion and paid the ultimate price when just after his 19th birthday, him and his Dark Shadow "Misfits" attacked the Guild and killed him.

Salem was shortly confirmed into power and suddenly everything changed. The Guild went from pacifist to all out war overnight. Salem wagered an overnight war over the Dark Shadow, wiping them off the map and forcing them underground. It took a whole 3 years for him to come out of hiding and starting to rebuild, and hopefully this time, he would get to Salem before she got to him.

Name: Persphone Masers (Pers for short)
Gender:Transwoman
Age: 18
Alignment:Guild
Rank within Organisation:Member


Location of Birthmark:Nape of Neck
Magical Ability: Batanokinesis.

Pers is able to control any and all plant life around her up to a hundred yards away. She has less control of plants the further from her they are.

Rapid Growth: Pers can accelerate the growth of any plant life in her radius exponentially. What would take farmers months to grow, would take Pers mere seconds. Of course the longer it takes for a plant to grow naturally, the longer it takes Pers, trees go from hundreds of years to several months.
Full Control: Pers is able to direct a plant to grow in any shape she desires, she can also direct plants that have already grown to move on their own, an example of this is she could use a trees branches to lash out and attack any assailant that gets to close.
Overwhelming Presence: Pers is able to connect with all plant life in her radius through their interconnected roots. She can see, feel, and sense what they all sense in a network of rapid information. The only downside to this is she also feels their pain. If a tree is on fire she will feel the burning of the tree.
Poison Immunity: Pers is immune to all forms of poison and venom.

Place of Birth:Philadelphia, P.A.
Currently Residing: Last known location was in the Amazons
Personality: Pers is a quiet soul, normally keeping to herself and talking to her "babies". She is soft spoken and most people barely notice her presence when she is around. If Persphone sees someone intentionally harming plants though she can be just as vicious as her malevolent sister
History/Bio: Born Janus Masers 2 years behind his sister Circe, Janus was only 3 when his father killed his mother. The state decided it was best to seperate them for their own safety. Janus grew up knowing nothing of his past within a decent adoptive family.

Shortly after turning 14 he came out as trans and adopted the name Persphone. On her 15th birthday her foster family sat her down and told her the truth of her real family. She began looking for her sister, she was shocked to learn that her estranged family member was implicated in a bank robbery and was suspected of fleeing the country.

It wasn't long before Persphone discovered her ability to make plants grow, she always loved plants but now she could help improve the world. At the age of 17 while in Brazil getting her final surgery to become fully female she learned of the extent of the deforestation. She convinced her family to let her stay behind and do her best to save the rainforest. The locals began calling her the Ghost Vine. It was there that a Guild cell group found her and recruited her to join them to help police those with magic to stop their secret from starting a war. Pers is finishing her fight in the Amazon, but has plans to return to New York soon to meet the head of the Guild.

Name: Emily Florence Waring
Gender Female
Age: 24
Alignment: Dark Shadows
Rank within Organisation: Captain

Birthmark Shape
Location of Birthmark Just to the right of her left shoulder blade on the back.
Magical Abilities Emily can manipulate fire. She can form flames in her hands and throw fireballs but to do something larger scale she needs to work off a larger fire. (In saying that, she won't hesitate to light the nearest thing on fire to do so).

Place of Birth: Boston, Massachusetts
Currently Residing: New York, USA
Personality:
If you hadn't gathered Emily is definitely not the best of people, nor does she pretend or try to be. She is wild, rebellious and reckless- and loves being this way. Not for a day has she taken life seriously and doubts she ever will. She does what pleases and entertains her, no matter how reckless it is. Emily has no filter between her mind and her mouth nor between her mind and her actions. She speaks and acts without considering the consequences for herself or anyone else and tends to wear those consequences like a badge. She is a master liar and will tell as many lies as possible to get out of a bad situation or being caught. She will say or do anything to get her will or her way. She's not afraid to use another's confidences against them.

Emily is very much an extrovert and often the life of the party. She will push her friends into uncomfortable situations for fun. She's fun-loving and does possess a heart for her friends, however, she’ll never admit it She'll happily take the blame for people she's close too, but would prefer assisting them lie their way out of punishment. Emily is open about who she is, she will be the first to tell you she's a bitch and often proclaims she's whore. She wears her worst traits as her crown and armour.

Her ways make her seem heartless to a majority of people. Inside she does possess a soft heart towards those she's close to however, an almost impossible to break shell is in the way caused by her upbringing and past. Inside she’s still broken by the past, something she turned to a rebellious, wild nature to cover the wounds. She’d never admit so, she’s come to a point where she fools herself constantly. On top of her grief she has a form of vengeance toward her parents and past relationships.

History/Bio:
Emily’s mother never liked her. Born an only child of a CEO of a large accounting firm and his unemployed wife, Martha The money Michael earned paid enough for the family of three to live a rather luxurious life and Emily hadn't known a life without such a lifestyle until adulthood. While most parents cooed over their children Martha groaned. It wasn’t that Martha didn’t like children, she loved them in fact, but seemed to possess some dislike toward Emily.

Perhaps a reason for Martha’s displeasure in her daughter was Emily’s knack at not excelling… at anything. She was never a high achiever in school, never excelled on piano when her mum bought her lessons, wasn’t the standout in ballet. The list goes on. As time went on the pair started arguing, it became evident there was problems between them and, as Emily’s father was either away on a work trip or too busy to deal with her Emily was practically left to fend for herself.

With little guidance Emily mixed with the wrong crowd, however, she had fun. Soon enough she was known for a bad reputation among people. She was always misbehaving and arrogant. The only notice she took to rules was how to break them. She was often in trouble for graffiting, defacing properties and even minor thefts. As time went on she had learnt the best tactics to not being caught.

Emily was 15 when she snuck out to a party, of course it wasn't her first rebellious or misbehaving act. She found to fit in perfectly and it was there she had her first try of alcohol and intimacy to a new degree. Since then the sneaking off to parties has become more common.

Although her parents were both magic users they mainly kept it hidden. They tried to live as normal as possible and never told Emily but she found out. One day randomly flames burst across her hands. She somewhat taught herself to control it, enough at least. For some time she did some digging through her parent's stuff and listening to hushed late night conversations and from there heard about the Guild and the reformation if an uprising against them. From there (for the first time in her life) Emily did some research. From that she learnt about the Guild and the Dark Shadows, the rules and what both sides stand for and she needed no more. Em couldn't really care less about taking over the world but full right to use magic? Besides, if she was part if the group that took over the world think of all the attention! And it was against her parents morals. Perfect. They seemed to have great ideals for her reckless mindset.

At 18 she packed her things and left, but not without leaving her mother a gift but setting the flower garden alight. From there she set off for New York and soon met Alyosius who brought her into the Dark Shadows and never looked back.

Magical Abilities: Hydromagic- Lola can create and manipulate water. She can change water from freshwater to salt water

Place of Birth: Cambridge, Great Britain
Currently Residing: New York, USA
Personality:
Lola is strong willed and hardworking. She sets wild goals and has a need to achieve them. She is very competitive and has a constant desire to be the best. Lola is very blunt and says it as it is, she's not an overly social person and having friends isn't the top of her to do list. Lola is a brash decision maker and tends to stand by the motto 'do now, think later', not to say she's not smart, Lola is as intelligent as she is strong but these are skills most tend to look over as she is constantly one-up'd by her brother. Despite her hard-ass, give no shits exterior Lola, deep down, just wants someone to see her as she is, someone who'll give her approval, someone who sees worth in her and cares for her, someone who won't compare her to her brother, something she hasn't had in a long time. But for now, if no one truly cares about her why should she?

History/Bio:
"Aloysius this, Aloysius that."
"At least I have one useful child"
"Lola, listen to your brother, he's advanced in power and years, you have no right to talk back to him!"
Growing up Lola felt more like an extra in Aloysius' story rather than the centre character of her own. Their mother favoured power and Aloysius had a lot of it. Lola, on the other hand, as just a hydromage had nothing compared to her brother. Due to this, she was treated as lesser from her mother other than her daughter. Lola created a bond with her father but he was often away on business. Lola grew up having to be self-dependant and despite desperate attempts to gain her mother's approval, nothing worked.

At her father's death, Lola was devastated. He wasn't around a lot shut when he was Lola cherished the time she would feel valued. She received none of the company, she was only 12 after all, but the executor of the will secretly handed her a letter. Over the years her father had been skimming money off his pay and putting it aside, leaving Lola with an account worth a few million. When she turned 16 she got herself classed as independent and moved out with the money her father left. When DS were recovering the attack she joined to prove herself to her brother

Name: Professor Walter Camden Glassier
Sex/Gender: Male/Male
Age: 57
Alignment: Dark Shadows - Radicalized
Rank within Organisation: Cell Leader? (Pending)

Birthmark/Details: A waxing moon roughly four inches round. At birth, it was barely a sliver of brown tissue underneath his left nipple. Over the course of his life it has overtaken his chest like some bizarrely over-sized areola. Its texture mirrors the moon's face towards the earth, and Walter is rather convinced that the mark will form a perfect circle near the end of his life. There seem to be another two inches to go.

Name: Benjamin Olin
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Alignment: Guild
Rank within Organisation: Captain

Birthmark Shape: Link
Location of Birthmark: On the nape.
Magical Abilities: Dust Form - Benjamin has the ability to transform himself, his clothing and, if he wishes, whatever he is touching into particles of grey-brown dust. In this form he can travel at fast speeds through the air and is less vulnerable to physical attacks.

Place of Birth: Santiago, Chile.
Currently Residing: New York, New York.
Personality: Benjamin is accustomed to working alone - Not everyone in the Guild is accepting of his ruthlessness which at times borders on excessive, nor does everyone view his work as righteous. Ergo he tends to be seen as a cruel individual who acts mercilessly to uphold Guild law although nobody can call his conviction into question, and how he is able to keep up with his tasks as a leader yet be away so often is a mystery to many. The only person he truly cares about is his sister, although they aren't on speaking term he would likely kill for her.

History/Bio: Born and raised in Chile till he was eleven. Once Benjamin's powers began to emerge he was taught the magic of his family though his single mother alongside his year-younger sister Emilia. Most importantly they were taught about the Guild and how the organisation protected people like their family, the duo were awestruck over the idea of such a powerful group and what it stood for. Thanks to the earning of their mother the duo were brought up in a relatively safe environment, not having to turn to criminals or the underworld to protect themselves the family grew up relatively innocent for the first ten years. Then the mother's employees commanded her over to work indefinitely overseas in the US. The family moved and grew accustomed to their new home and life - The children learned English and Benjamin's mother continued to train them in magic throughout the years as she juggled her personal life and the increasing strain of her work.

Benjamin was sixteen when his mother died. A botched burglary and a woman in the wrong place at the wrong time. It wasn't a targeted attack by a rogue magi, his mother died like any other mortal, though Benjamin didn't care about that fact. He couldn't believe that the Guild hadn't protected his mother. Logic be damned. To him it didn't matter if they couldn't, if they couldn't protect her then they weren't doing their damn job. They weren't following their own rules and laws. That was the only possibility in Ben's eyes and he was going to make sure that from now on they would. He'd make sure of it even if he had to deliver judgement himself. Ben and his sister were recruited and moved into the Guild headquarters.

While Emilia dealt with her loss with friendships Benjamin used his pain as a foci, he studied books from cover to end - memorising any and all laws that he could. Although the attack on the Guild by the Dark Shadow occurred a few years ago there was still an amount of somber and stress, as such Ben struggled to find a proper teacher. That was no matter to him, if he couldn't find anyone to train him then he would do what he could. For the first year within the guild he conditioned himself, training his body's strength and endurance in an attempt to compensate for his lack of martial training. The year after he finally received a teacher and began to train in the art of fighting.

By eighteen he became a member of the Guild and as such was sent on missions from higher-ups. At this point his ruthlessness was revealed, few missions ended in failure although Ben's limited extent of training meant that during the first few months he often returned bleeding or injured in some other way which caused some to speculate if he was ready for his position. If it wasn't for his animalistic endurance that they saw then perhaps they would have pulled him off of missions.
The higher-ups never truly punished Ben for his sprees of violence. Even if Ben never left hotels smeared with blood or alleyways littered with corpses He often returned with one or two broken bodies - the corpses of those who refused to surrender to Ben and his one chance policy. Ben's notoriety spread, his own sister began to avoid him and although torn he knew he couldn't stop, nobody else was willing to uphold the laws.
As the months went by Ben became much more efficient, returning with severe injuries less frequently than when he started. After two more years - at twenty - he must have impressed someone pretty high on the ladder with his effectiveness. He was promoted to Captain although he took this as an opportunity to choose his own hits, or "hunts" as he calls them. Even if he now has responsibilities he refuses to leave the field, much like how he refuses teammates to work alongside in his own missions, even though fieldwork can keep Ben away from the Guild office for weeks if not months. In all this time Ben still prefers missions involving the apprehension of magi or criminals, if he can stop them then he could be protecting others from such people. It's okay though. He only kills criminals, they're bound to break the law at some point....
