Gender: Female

Appearance: Ivy is tall and angular- neither thin nor fat. She has dark brown hair just short of black that comes down to her shoulders, and the deepest green eyes you've ever seen. She's very pale, and tends to dress conservatively due to what she thinks is a scaly skin condition. Hint: it ain't.

Powers: Blood magic- Ivy can use blood as a power booster for her spells.

Call to the Damned- Ivy's unique heritage makes her a natural at calling up demonic entities.

Cursewright- Ivy is adept at casting curses on unfortunate souls who have wronged her.

Hydromancer- Ivy is talented at controlling ice and water.

Spells

Ssspeaksss fluent Sssnake- Ivy can talk to snakes. Make Harry Potter cracks at your peril...

(To Be Learned) Possession- Ivy will eventually be capable of taking over another's body and mind.

(To Be Learned) Demonic form- Ivy will be capable of calling on her ancestry to take a massive serpentine form.

What she doesn't know: Her father is a demon whose true name is Invidiel, but he's gone by many names over the years. The Serpent in the Garden of Eden? Him. The Leviathan prophecied in the Book of Revelation? Guess who. First to be corrupted by Lucifer and second to him in power, the Lord of Envy is a mighty ally- or a deadly foe...

Accident

Um... I might be interested. I've got a female Albino Petro Voodoo vessel of Papa Legba already created, and I also have a young male Solidary Witch who is unaware of his own abilities. I just need to alter a few things within their designs to fit them into your world-build. Let me know if you're still accepting.

Lithiuna "Rox" Malorram



Remington "Remy" McCleur

Interesting. SHe and Yuri will probably butt heads a lot. He might like Remy though.

Name: Yuri Paris
Sex: Male
Age: 22
Appearance:


Yuri is Blasian. He is half Asian, half African, and grew up in New Orleans. His father is Creole and his mother Korean. He speaks English, Korean, Swahili, and some Spanish. His mother has a lineage as an Asian Witch and his father delved into African Spirituality and Voodoo. Arcana and Voodoo run in Yuri's blood. He's a descendant of Marie Laveau.

Powers:
> Spiritual Senses: Yuri's eyes can see the soul/spirit of the living and the dead. He can locate someone by their spirit/soul.
> Impartation: A unique gift, the power to impart (bestow) temporary life into something lifeless or bestow life back into what was once dead. This is dangerous. Small creatures will cause his nose to bleed and dizziness; however, if he brings back the soul of someone who has died he will pass out and it will completely drain his mana. He will feel completely drained for a few days.
> Spiritual Connection: Connecting to the spirit realm is easy for Yuri, and communicating with spirits trapped on the plane of the living is something that comes naturally to him. He helps guide lost souls to their final resting place; however, he also has the ability to trap souls in this plane and control them, twist them into something dark and sinister or fill them with light and benevolence.
> Teleportation: Yuri is able to teleport various distances as long as he can see the destination.
> Voodoo Doll: Quite literally Yuri is a walking voodoo doll. Wounds heal quickly. Anyone who he sets his focus on can become a victim to his power. Any damage taken by Yuri is bestowed upon a chosen target as long as Yuri maintains eye contact. The greater the damage, the more draining to his spiritual energy, and if he doesn't have enough spiritual energy, the wound created will stay.
> Necromancy: Necromancy gives Yuri authority over death, those who have died, and those things void of life. His command is unwavering and unobjectionable. What he commands of them, they obey. It allows him to use necrotic energy that decays whatever it touches.
> One w/ Water: Yuri can create, shape, and manipulate water, inorganic compound with liquid, gas (steam, water vapor), and solid (ice) states, including changing them from one state to others.

Spells: Every witch/warlock is taught spells at a young age if they are a part of a coven. Yuri learned from his mother before she died the usual common spells like moving things from place to place, levitating, fixing what's broken, etc; however, there are more immense, deadlier spells that require more, and those he learned through in-depth study.

Summoning --NEUTRAL--
- Cerberus Come Forth: A blood offering is required to bring forth the demon dog, guard of hell's gates, Cerberus. The three-headed beast is immune to fire and immensely strong. Control over the beast takes great focus. The caster must speak the incantation, "Hell's gates will miss its guardian, bring forth the one who guards it."
- The Undead Army: It takes either one very powerful voodoo master or at least four voodoo priests with one leading to summon an army of undead. In size, we are talking an entire graveyard size army. While summoning the army of undead, the voodoo priest is absent from the battlefield and is usually held up in a secret place because, during the ceremony, he is completely vulnerable to anyone who is able to locate him. It requires a great deal of concentration and because of this, voodoo priests go into a trance-like state. They can be knocked out of this state if someone powerful enough causes a magical surge that breaks the connection and severs the ties.
- OPEN
- OPEN

Protection --DEFENSIVE--
- Heaven's Wings: A simple spell that allows Yuri to protect someone from negative influences. The spell must be spoken and the target or something belonging to the target must be in the caster's possession for the protection spell to work. When activated, the spell will surround the target in a protective barrier that extends a foot out from them and prevents harm. Speaking the words "
- Death's Hand: A very powerful spell that only lasts for one hour. It requires a blood sacrifice and the energy of three voodoo priests/priestesses to work. The blood of the target must be poured into the middle of the voodoo circle. The three voodoo priest/priestesses must chant the necessary words and the victim will be protected from death for ONE hour. Because of the potency of this spell, it cannot be repeated on the same person more than twice.
- Monarch's Blessing: By touching someone and speaking the words "Liber Spiritus" the target's abilities will be enhanced for a short duration. The caster cannot bestow this enhancement on themselves, only on someone else. It does not require any sacrifice, merely mana to cast.
- Celestial Entanglement: By calling to the gods and deities in the pantheon, the caster can draw from them celestial protection on a person of their choice, but it comes with a price. The caster must fulfill a request from the deity they illicit the prayer to and be willing and able to do what needs to be done.

Magistrate --OFFENSIVE--
(Yuri is still learning, as there is so much to learn. Spells, hexes, etc, take a toll on the body, mind, and spirit)

Nicknames: Rox, Lithy, Una is a rabbit name only allowed spoken by Papa Legba. It means 'One'. At times, he refers to her as "Mon ti Una" - My Little One - even though, she considers him like a big brother. But, there's more to this story... for another time.)

(She's wanting to get an armband tattoo designed to cover the nasty scars around her arm - a way to celebrate her survival).

Clothing Style: She's urbanesque in so many ways, but she'll go Bohemian Chic, Afrocentric, or just straight-up classy. It doesn't matter to her; she just likes to dress how she feels.

SKILLS: (WIP)
Powers: City Block level
Her Elements - Light & Shadow

1. Espridancr - Lithy is what Vodou practitioners call an Espridancr (one with the ability to summon an espri to communicate with through a ritual dance)

2. Vessel - (a rare skill - an Albino who has the ability to share their consciousness and form with one or many espri, allowing them to communicate and participate with others in the living world). The only difference between a Vessel and a Medium is that a Vessel can hold espris within them indefinitely - if they are strong of mind and heart. Lithy tends to use this ability in unique ways, towards herself or other living espris, for espri traveling, readings, protection, and healing. She can go so far as to possess other living beings with no harm to them, and even release their espri in order to travel or communicate from a decent distance. There are disadvantages to this skill, due to its unique layout and the severity of harm towards the user, but it's quite effective for one who's mastered it.

3. Nystagmus, which is the involuntary rapid eye movement that some Albinos have, she is able to read both a person's energy waves, shadow, and color auras - the unseen inner light and shade of their espri, spirit/soul, that radiates around them.

Weapons/Tools of her Craft:


Brief History:
Born in Southway Hold, Providence; Port Au Prince, Haiti. She lived with her mother, Seganna, who was the village Rada Mambo. Her estranged father, a rather disagreeable Petro Oungan wannabe, did not leave the province on good terms during his short stay there. Lithy hoped to avoid that negative legacy for the better.

One thing she was thrilled about leaving Haiti; she'd be safer somewhere else. Suffers from PTSD, after a number of kidnappings throughout her childhood, she had lived in constant fear for her life. In Haiti, Albinos are considered either good luck charms or living demons. Therefore, she almost lost fingers, an arm, an ear for someone's good luck, and there were attempts on her life several times - to extinguish the supposed demons within. Many of these close calls were due to her father's influence over a certain group of people.

Because of those close-calls, Lithy will go into full defense mode if spooked. She has been slowly recovering from her childhood PTSD since she's lived away from the island for so long, and was able to receive mental and medical attention. But time will tell if she'll ever break completely out of her paranoia.

Living in America had given her the freedom to live away from her fearful life. But now, the sudden feeling of loss, as if missing a vital limb, and the constant pulling and shifting that had caused her to lose focus on what's before her; she's started to believe something else was wrong with her. But... she's felt like this ever since leaving Haiti and considered it a strong case of Homesickness that's lasting far...far too long.

Extra:
Spoken Languages: English, Creole, French, Italian, Spanish, German, Tagalog, Mandarin, Korean, Hindi. She works at the Census office as an Interpreter. She also owns an online language site where she helps people learn languages through natural communication.

Been competing in fencing collegially for six years. Her psychiatrist recommended the sport to her to help her fight against her fear of sharp objects - becoming a threat with one in her control, rather than being a victim under its tip.

Her Belief:

She worships the Voudou Rada Iwa Papa Legba, her divine tutelary. But, she has a very strong connection to the Petro size of Voudou due to her unknown father. It pulls towards her on the daily, but she has no idea of which Iwa it is attempting to make claim. However, due to this, Papa Legba had called upon another Iwa from the fanmi to keep an eye on her - this one has the ability to stand between both nanchons (Rada and Petro), an Andezo "en deux eaux" an Iwa who stands in two waters. Iwa Ogun resides within her espri when she is in need of his aid but normally remains within her cat familiar, Amos.



Lithy is what Vodou practitioners call an Espridancr (one with the ability to summon an espri to communicate with through a ritual dance) with the ability to become a Vessel (a rare skill - an Albino who has the ability to share their consciousness and form with one or many espri, allowing them to communicate and participate with others in the living world). The only difference between a Vessel and a Medium is that a Vessel can hold espris within them indefinitely - if they are strong of mind and heart. Lithy's childhood was full of people believing that she held the spirit of a demon within her - the reason why they constantly attacked her. Others believed she held the spirit of a blessed Mambo, so she was pure luck; luckier than a rabbit's paw. Both are quite correct due to Ogun's Andezo nature.


Lithy's appearance when under Ogun's influence as The Warrior. Her eyes turn jade and sigils form across her skin in light. No bumblebee on her forehead, but a bright golden light shines to represent 'the seeing eyes').

Familiar:
Her Maine Coon cat, Amos.



Amos was her childhood cat in Haiti. Her father, on the first day he visited the village after her 12th birthday - which held a major significance in her magical studies, after a huge fight with her mother, stormed out of the house and kicked Amos roughly out of his way. That impact sent the poor creature high into the air, only to land on the iron fence surrounding her mother's yard.

Her beloved cat impaled, Lithi was saddened and highly angered at this unknown stranger who just wished her well for her birthday. As she removed her cat from the fence, her emotions running dangerously high, she cursed the man with an unknown something that still plagues him to this day. She also, unknowingly, sent a touch of her espri within her cat, giving the body enough energy to regain to breathe. When her mother realized what had happened, she decided to help bring Amos back to health - but she knew that would require more than a few bandages. Lithi participated in her first ritual of renewal, and in the midst of this, her mother requested from Papa Legba, and her personal tutelary, Agwe, to use Amos to protect her special child. That's when Papa Legba asked for Ogou's assistance. When he entered the cat's body, his wounds were healed. He's remained by Lithy's side ever since, not because his cousin asked, but because he can sense the need to keep this young lady safe.

Name: Remington Darius McClure
Face Claim: Troye Sivan

Gender: Male
Nicknames: Remy
Nationality: English/Scandinavian
Age: 22
Birthday: September 14th
Zodiac Sign: Virgo
Discipline: Cosmic & Hedge Wiccan, Alchemist.



Appearance
Size: Tall
Body Type: Average
Height: 5'6" - He has a Napoleon complex about his height, so don't make a deal of it.
Weight: 137 lbs
Complexion: Fair
Hair: Wavy Blonde
Eyes: grey-blue
Handedness: Right

Relationship Status: Single
Sexual Orientation: Femboy, Demi
Occupation: College Student majoring in biochemistry. Works at a health laboratory as a biochemical lab technician.

Personality: Counterintuitive, Charismatic, Energetic, Empathetic, Meddlesome, Insecure, Secretive, Brilliant, Self-sacrificing, Determined, Thoughtful, Hedonistic, Altruistic

Multifaceted: Like many people, Remy's personality is often a reflection of the situation or people that he is surrounded by. To most of the world, he comes off as cheerful and carefree. And it is only the select few who he has developed a deep trust that knows otherwise. Deep down Remy is quite different than he appears, however for several reasons he has chosen to hide his true self from the world.



Cynical: Despite the way that he acts, on the inside, Remy is hurting. He doesn’t enjoy his life, and would rather it all come to an end. Even so, he hides this feeling from the rest of the world behind a mask. He is currently just going through the motions, feeling numb most of the time. He would prefer to live out the rest of his existence alone. He feels like a fake and that many of the optimistic things he says are lies. However, the only thing that brings him joy, is seeing other people’s happiness. To him, it is like a drug. Remy believes that all the good qualities that come with his outward personality aren’t really who he is and that he is actually a horrible person. But in reality, he doesn’t really know who he is anymore. He is lost, but too afraid to change.

Mannerisms: Twirls hair or chews bottom lip when focused, and has the tendency to chew at his fingernails when he's nervous or lacking confidence.

Likes: Music/singing, exotic beers, and wines; snuggling in warmth, chemistry, laughing at randomness, Tattoos & Piercings, Stargazing, Charity work, Coffee, Photography, anything sweet and sugary.

Dislikes: Crowded places, Tea, Weekends, Social Norms, Pop Music, Reptiles

Fears: Losing his power forever, never finding a place to belong, losing his true self - even more; being out of control, trusting someone and getting hurt, being himself, not being able to be useful, being disliked.



Abilities/Skills: (WIP)
City Block level

Powers:
1. Empathy: Users can sense and manipulate the emotions, including feelings, moods, and their effects, of themselves, people, animals, and other creatures, whether by increasing, decreasing, causing, or otherwise channeling emotions, even manifesting the emotional energy to a physical level.

Drawback: Because emotions are so powerful, when reading others it can sometimes become overwhelming for the user. They can easily get lost or caught up in the moment, and it can be hard to discern between someone else's emotions and their own. If the user is not careful, they can end up being hurt instead. When the user is not in control, they can often end up changing the emotions of those around them by mistake.

2. Healing: Users can restore biotic organisms to their optimal health, curing damaged or withered organisms, wounds, broken bones, low vitality, and diseases/poisoning.

Drawback: In order to heal someone, the user must take on their injuries. Although it typically isn’t as severe as the original injury, it can still be quite painful for the user or cause damage.

3. Telepathy: The ability to communicate/perceive outside of the known senses. Remy can read/sense another person's thoughts and communicate with them mentally. He can communicate and receive information from others. And because of recent events, he's been slowly able to communicate through dreams.

A perk with this skill lies within his natural, yet uncanny ability to remember things; numbers, maps, people, faces, names, entire books, anything. Not just short-term memory - everything seems to lodge itself straight into his long-term working memory. And he remembers right down to every small detail years after first introductions. Therefore, what he reads from other minds will stick with him until he dislodges them for good.

Drawback: Unfortunately, with all the information he collects and holds in his massive memory, Remy can, from time to time, meltdown. If he does not meditate to clear unwanted information and free his mind from the stresses of his and other's thoughts and emotions, he can lose his own emotional balance and crash. Just like a large network of computers that keeps an entire country up and running - suddenly going dark, Remy will fall into a 'floating' state (awake and active but mentally unaware of his actions), or worse - fall into a coma that can last for months.

Tools of his Major and Minor Principles:
Has a small chemistry/alchemy lab in a bag - more like a huge trunk on wheels. He also has a small Bag of Holding that contains an entire Ikea store of anything you can imagine.



History:



Born to a lowly carpenter and an addict of a mother. It was no surprise to anyone that his mother didn't stick around long. His father did the best he could. Money was kind of tight despite his father's job, meaning they didn't always live in the best areas. It didn't take long before his father realized he was in no way capable of raising his son alone. But instead of just remarrying, he gave Remy up for adoption when he was two, and never looked back.

Remy was a pretty small, sensitive child, one who would start tearing up if someone looked at him wrong. Therefore, he was picked on quite a lot and treated like the runt of the litter until a new kid moved into the group home he was residing in. And even though he now had a protector, someone who he could trust and rely on, Remy still had to deal with far too much negativity too early in his childhood.

One unfortunate event caused Remy to lose his control - all he can remember is how many bodies laid around his feet - one being his new friend. Not knowing what actually happened, Remi had lost his mind and a little piece of his soul. Even though he was cleared of the charge of murder, is considered a victim of a gang fight that resulted in 5 deaths, Remi still blames himself and that sudden burst of arcane energy that suddenly awakened through his heightened emotions at the time. He hates his abilities for that day but hates himself even more for wanting to keep them.

He went from being a relatively sweet and emotional child to a closed-off teenager and a cynical young adult but fearing repeating history if emotions rise, Remy decided to hide everything by keeping a smile on his face. Unfortunately, at times, that smile and his small frame become the very reasons he is bullied, the very reason others take advantage of him.

Regardless, he did really extremely well academically and had a real future in front of him. With college started and an idea in his head for what he would like to accomplish in his life, Remy wants to move forwards without any emotion whatsoever. There are just a few major issues holding him back - but you would never know with his bright smile always keeping positivity high.

Looking great so far. I can't wait for Yuri to tell Rox..."give Papa my regards"

Keep up the great work and let our great GM know when you're done.

Haha! Yuri & Lithy will definitely butt heads! I just realize that Yuri's a strong necromancer. With her unknown connection to the Crossroad gateway Papa Legba protects, Yuri's abilities will actually conflict (or control) hers, in a sense. And, in a way, her control of certain aspects of death will conflict (or block) some of his.

Therefore, arguments will ensue... until they learn to work together for the greater good. I'll have to send you my brainstorm of this shocking idea, and see what you make up of it. I think it'll be good character/group development, but damn! There's so much I've already had in design for my charrie that your charrie has broken, in a sense. I'm redesigning Lithy within the classical, older study of Voudou - more of the ancient sense I was taught, than the modern Haitian/Louisiana version. So, therefore, there aren't any conflicts or repetitiveness in skills between our two charries; but there will be enough conflict from the start - the typical 'mine is better than yours' standpoint that'll clear up through development.

K, brainstorming end... gotta get back to work.

I am all for character development and I can already see Yuri and Lithy being a beautiful unstoppable force when they learn to work together. Conflict is sometimes good because it makes you think of different ways to either adjust or get around it. I am excited for them to interact and I'll probably have Yuri flirt with Remy a little if that's okay with you. Remy is in the spectrum of individuals Yuri would pursue and he is one of those "hopeless romantic" types so he'll make sure Remy is taken care of.... again only if you're okay with it, I'd rather not force such things onto other characters unless they agree so that door is open should you choose to have Remy walkthrough. Or they could already know one another and actually be dating at the start of the story. If my memory is correct I'm sure they'll argue and whatnot because Yuri isn't quite adapted to handling Remy's personality and Remy probably doesn't know how to handle Yuri just yet.
