Ashley Stone. See? I told you it sounded cool." [/i][/center][/cell][cell] [b]Description:[/b] [indent]The former leader of the Sycamore Tree Coven and former cheerleader during the fiasco with the Stygian Snake. The Stygian Snake destroyed her house and enthralled her mother, Sherri Stone, forcing Ashley to kill her or else she would be killed herself. This incident caused Ashley to undergo a kindling event, and she became a Black Adept. Out of a desire for revenge, Ashley gathered other magical teenagers being terrorized by this thing and formed a Coven under a Sycamore Tree. However, the Stygian Snake was near invincible even with Black Lux, so Ashley grabbed a group, traveled to a different universe, and found an artifact known as the Apparition Killer. With the blade, they managed to weaken the Stygian Snake enough to allow the Coven to seal it into the Sycamore Tree. Afterward, she kept the blade with her in case it got out. Afterward, it became [i]apparent[/i] that Ashley was not fit to be a leader (being temperamental, dealing with the loss of her mother, and having [i]zero[/i] leadership skills or experience), which ultimately led to the Sycamore Tree Coven falling apart. Ashley had no problem with it, severed herself from her Lux, and went on to become a mother [i]and[/i] a teacher at the local college. However, she was the latest in a string of mysterious murders of the former members of the Sycamore Tree Coven, being killed a week before the events of the story. Her daughter was mysteriously put up for adoption sometime before her death, however.

Ha!"[/i][/center][/cell][cell] [b]Description:[/b] [indent][i]Née West.[/i] Jade West was a bright and spirited girl growing up in Columbia, South Carolina. The daughter of a close-knit family, she spent her early years immersed in Southern culture, where Sunday dinners and church gatherings were staples of her upbringing. Jade was known for her infectious laughter and boundless curiosity, often spending her weekends exploring her hometown's lush parks and vibrant neighborhoods. She enjoyed childhood freedom, riding her bike through sun-drenched streets, climbing trees with friends, and dreaming of the future while gazing at the sprawling Carolina skies. However, her idyllic childhood was tinged with uncertainty as her father’s job opportunity loomed on the horizon. The impending move filled her with excitement and trepidation as she grappled with the fear of leaving behind the only home she had ever known, unaware of the life-altering events awaiting her in St. Portwell. This abrupt change introduced her to an entirely different environment, filled with new faces and customs that felt foreign. As a young girl navigating the complexities of adolescence in a new city, Jade was already facing the challenges of fitting in and finding her identity when disaster struck. St. Portwell was caught in the chaos of the Stygian Snake’s rampage, an Apparition that wreaked havoc and terror throughout the city. It was during this tumultuous time that her life would forever change as the Stygian Snake came dangerously close to ending her life. Drake Blackmore emerged as her savior during this harrowing experience. This act forged a bond between them and set Jade on a path she had never anticipated. The near-death experience awakened something within her—Green Lux. She then joined the Sycamore Tree Coven, a group of children dedicated to combating the Stygian Snake, where her Green Lux was crucial in their efforts, and she has saved dozens of lives. After the Stygian Snake was ultimately defeated, Jade’s journey took another turn. While she had found a family in the Coven, the environment began to shift, becoming toxic and divisive. She decided to leave, recognizing its effects on her spirit and relationship with Drake. Their romance blossomed into a deep, loving partnership with Drake by her side. Their shared experiences fortified their bond, and Jade’s dreams of becoming a doctor took shape as she enrolled in medical school. Jade envisioned a life dedicated to caring for others, embodying the same selflessness that had driven her during the Stygian Snake’s assault. Jade and Drake built a life together and shared aspirations. However, it all fell apart instantly when tragedy struck during a vacation trip to New Orleans. In a cruel twist of fate, Jade was murdered by Father World, leaving Drake devastated and lost in a sea of grief. Her sudden absence sent shockwaves through his life and the lives of those who knew her. In the wake of her death, the impact of Jade’s life and loss reverberated throughout St. Portwell and beyond. Friends, colleagues, and even former Coven members mourned her passing, each remembering her as a beacon of hope and passion. Jade was a skinny African-American woman who always wore her hair naturally and always wore sunglasses.[/indent] [b]Abstraction:[/B] Adept - [i]Green Lux.[/i] Channeler: Her Wedding Ring. [indent][b]Healing:[/b] Jade channels her Green Lux to infuse healing energy into an injured individual, significantly accelerating their natural healing processes. This potent spell can heal wounds, mend broken bones, and alleviate illnesses, making it particularly effective in life-threatening situations. This spell also restored someone's stamina, which was crucial in the fight against the Stygian Snake. [b]Biological-Scan:[/b] Biological Scan is a powerful spell that allows Jade to examine an individual's biological makeup through physical contact. When she touches someone, her Green Lux activates, creating a unique connection that enables her to perceive the intricate details of their anatomy, cellular structure, and overall health. This spell reveals critical information, such as injuries, diseases, or underlying medical conditions that may not be immediately visible. Jade's ability to read these biological signals has been a game-changer in life-or-death situations, allowing her to provide timely interventions or emergency treatments that save lives. [b]Cleansing Wave:[/b] In this spell, Jade emits a surge of Green Lux, creating a vital wave that purges toxins, venom, and harmful substances from individuals and their surroundings. When activated, this spell radiates a green light that envelops those affected by poisons or diseases, neutralizing the toxic effects. The wave not only targets physical ailments but also works to purify the environment, making it safe for those nearby. [b]Adrenaline Spike:[/b] This spell activates Jade's innate abilities during stress or danger, heightening her physical prowess. When activated, she experiences a surge of adrenaline that enhances her speed, strength, and reflexes to superhuman levels for a short duration. The spell can be triggered instinctively or consciously, enabling her to react quickly in emergencies or combat. [b]Titan Arms:[/b] Jade can allow her arms to become incredibly muscular and durable, allowing her to perform feats of strength far beyond her standard capabilities. This spell is useful for combat, lifting heavy objects, or performing physical tasks that require exceptional strength. It lasts as long as she maintains concentration. [b]Enhanced Senses:[/b] Jade sharpens one of her senses (smell, sight, or hearing) to superhuman levels depending on the situation. When activated, this spell sharpens her chosen sense to extraordinary levels, allowing her to detect even the faintest scents, perceive minute details in her surroundings, or hear sounds that would typically be inaudible to the average person.[/indent][/cell][/row][row][cell][h2][b]Ripley[color=2e2c2c].[/color]Hunter[/b][/h2][/cell][cell][/cell][/row][row][cell][center][img]https://i.imgur.com/r3dyMml.jpg[/img] [b]20 | Ripley Tobias Hunter | He/Him [/b][hr][i]"Take things slow and easy..."[/i][/center][/cell][cell] [b]Description:[/b] [indent]Younger brother to Daisy and Lionel Hunter, he was only [i]ten[/i] when the Stygian Snake went on its rampage and was pretty much dragged along kicking and screaming.

It was a way for him to explore magic and gain new Spells through defeating Apparitions and Monsters.

While she was so thankful for them helping her avenge her family and wanted to remain a part of them, she returned to Japan. Kura remained in touch with them as she went through university, but she was ultimately killed by the same mysterious killer that eliminated the other members of the Coven. Kura's death made Auri suspicious of the string of murders and eventually led to the reform of the Sycamore Tree Coven. Kura was a pureblooded Japanese woman who was very short at five-one and skinny, dressed casually as they came.

The belief behind the myth that once created the Apparition faded and asked Samantha to adjoin to save it. Samantha accepted and gained various bear-like abilities to help defeat the Stygian Snake (primarily battling its minions). Afterward, Samantha stuck with the Coven as long as she could, but due to her personality, she wasn't exactly well-liked among the Coven.

We don't have all day!"[/i][/center][/cell][cell] [b]Description:[/b] [indent]Elsa Conner embodied adventure and spontaneity, contrasting sharply with her best friend, Kari Wilson. Born and raised in St. Portwell, Elsa spent her childhood exploring the dense forests, lakes, and trails surrounding her hometown. From an early age, she was drawn to the thrill of the great outdoors, whether climbing trees, hiking mountains, or organizing bonfires with friends. Her boundless energy and infectious enthusiasm often inspired her peers to join her in her exploits. She was known as the girl who could turn a dull weekend into a thrilling escapade, whether camping under the stars or hosting parties. Despite her outgoing nature, Elsa had a deeply rooted sense of loyalty, especially toward Kari. Where Kari found solace in literature and the written word, Elsa thrived in the world around her. She often dragged her best friend into the limelight, urging Kari to step out of her comfort zone and embrace new experiences. Their friendship was a testament to the idea that opposites attract. At the same time, Kari balanced Elsa's impulsiveness with her thoughtful nature, and Elsa pushed Kari to explore the joy of living in the moment. Together, they created a blend of caution and excitement. The arrival of the Stygian Snake brought about a cataclysmic change in Elsa’s life. The city became a battleground overnight when the creature unleashed its wrath upon St. Portwell. During a vicious attack on Elsa's home, she and Kari found themselves cornered by the Stygian Snake's enthralled minions. Amid the chaos, Elsa and Kari underwent their Kindling Events and unlocked Red and White Lux, respectively. Despite their best efforts, Elsa and her friend Kari were overwhelmed by the relentless thralls. Just when it seemed all hope was lost, Britney Williams, an influential member of the Sycamore Tree Coven, intervened and saved them from certain doom. Britney offered them the chance to join the Coven, and they joined without a second thought, with Kari quickly becoming an integral part of the Coven. As Elsa honed her abilities, she discovered the potential of her Red Lux, enabling her to manipulate fire and electricity. Her adventures shifted from casual exploration to intense battles against the Stygian Snake. Elsa’s indomitable spirit shone brightest during these dark times as she rallied her friends, inspiring them with her relentless optimism. However, the battles took a toll on her; losing fellow Coven members weighed heavily on her heart, especially after losing Lisa, Saskia, and Ella in the fight against the Stygian Snake. After the Stygian Snake was defeated, Elsa remained with the Sycamore Tree Coven until it fell apart. The camaraderie and sense of purpose she found while battling alongside her friends was gone. She was left grappling with a profound sense of emptiness; the world around her felt alien and uncertain, stripped of the vibrant connections that once fueled her adventurous spirit. Elsa turned inward in the absence of her comrades, seeking answers to the void that now consumed her. The adventurous spirit that once drove her to explore the outdoors turned inward, wandering through the familiar landscapes that had inspired her. Each step into the wild became a quest for understanding and a longing to reclaim the sense of purpose that had been so abruptly taken from her. In her adult years, Elsa moved in with Kari and began giving boat tours along the serene shores of St. Portwell. Through these tours, she shared her love for the environment and connected with tourists who sought the same thrill she innately craved. This new endeavor became her way of keeping the spirit of adventure alive, even as she mourned the loss of her comrades and the camaraderie that had once defined her life. One fateful night, Elsa's life came to an abrupt end. Her body was discovered washed up on the shore, with a wolf idol carved out of Sycamore.

[indent][b]Pyromancy:[/b] Elsa’s primary spell is Pyromancy, granting her the ability to generate and manipulate fire with remarkable skill. This advanced technique allows her to create devastating explosions, form solid walls of flame, and even alter the temperature of her surroundings. Additionally, her connection to her emotions amplifies her control over fire; the intensity of her feelings can make her flames flicker gently or roar with fierce ferocity. [b]Electromancy:[/b] Elsa’s secondary spell, Electromancy, allows her to unleash powerful lightning bolts and manipulate existing electrical currents. Her proficiency in this field enables her to drain power from electronics, charge devices on the fly, and control the flow of electricity in her environment. She often employed quick lightning strikes as offensive weaponry. The ability to manipulate electricity also serves her outside combat, as she can navigate urban environments by drawing power from streetlights or charging her gear. [b]Cyromancy:[/b] While not as advanced as her pyromancy or electromancy, Elsa’s Cyromancy allows her to create and manipulate ice with surprising effectiveness. This spell will enable her to conjure ice barriers, create slippery surfaces, or form sharp icicles as projectiles.[/indent][/cell][/row][row][cell][h2][b]Jinhai[color=2e2c2c].[/color]Han[/b][/h2][/cell][cell][/cell][/row][row][cell][center][img]https://special-management-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/image/file/1579/hd_L1020821.jpg[/img] [b]26 | Jinhai Han | He/Him [/b][hr][i]"You’re just my stepping stone to success."[/i] [@FernStone][/center][/cell][cell] [b]Description:[/b] [indent]Linqian’s (slightly older) twin brother, Jinhai was the self proclaimed leader of the Han siblings (something Linqian protested, even though she always ended up following him). He was very, intensely, close to Linqian. Jinhai was charming and diplomatic on the outside, incredibly intelligent and well spoken. However this was only on a surface level - Jinhai was incredibly self serving, forming only superficial relationships for his own benefit outside of the few he was close to (his sister, younger brother and a few friends). He was a natural leader, arrogant and proud along with it, which led to him clashing with other coven members frequently. But he knew how to smooth things over, and was often the one stopping Linqian from causing a scene. Jinhai joined the Sycamore Tree coven along with Linqian after their parents were killed during its rampage, and the two of them along with their younger brother barely escaped. He was the one that made the decision to join the coven. With his people skills, ability to plan and abstraction he helped bring the Stygian Snake down… But he made sure not to put himself at risk. People had mixed opinions of him thanks to this, and he left the coven when Linqian chose to over a breakup. He moved on and went to college, aiming to become a Lawyer.

[b]Thermal Resistance:[/b] A spell Jinhai had to develop purely to avoid boiling or freezing in his sister’s company. It allowed him to resist extreme temperatures, both natural and unnatural, so that he would barely feel the changes in temperature.

She had her Kindling Event at a young age when her parents revealed themselves to be magic users and taught her how to use her magic. Becoming a Orange Lux and becoming quite proficient with her magic. When she was young, she was attacked by an apparition, and after the fight. She discovered the young Finn, who was in a bad state. After Finn told her who he was and what happened to him, she took pity on him and brought him back to her house. Which after a lengthy talk, she managed to convince them to adopt him. Seeing how a Abominable would be in better care with them than with the state. Beginning a friendship that would make the Finn and Bella close. When the Stygian Snake arrived in town and killed her parents. She was set on battling the beast, and when learning of the Sycamore Tree Coven and their mission to defeat the serpent. She and Finn joined the Coven and would do battle several times before Stygian Snake was finally defeated. But, while she tried to stay in the coven but at one point, it became clear that being in the coven was not worth it, and she left with Finn in tow. Now, she and Finn focused on mundane life, with her going to college and studying criminology for a career in law enforcement. She and Finn always stayed in touch.

After finding the ring, Daisy severed herself from her Gold Lux and used the Ring to do some severe damage to the Stygian Snake. She didn't put the finishing blow on it but helped set its defeat. Once the thing was defeated, she was introduced to the world of the Coven's shaky politics, and she wasn't the most composed person. So Daisy fed into the fires of the group by being explosive, impulsive, and irritated all the time - up until the point where Daisy just up and left, letting the Coven do their own thing while she went her path. Afterward, Daisy became a detective for the St. Portwell Police Department. Life was good, and she had zero interest in magic and ultimately took the ring off... until her two little brothers were killed, and she was not in the best emotional state.

He is also seen as the gold standard in the Old Coven. The older brother of Yoko Hatanaka, Goro was, like Yoko, born in Shirakawa-Go, and his early life was marked by books, studying, and learning how to become the next patriarch of the Hatanaka Family. From a young age, he showed wisdom beyond his years and potential like no other, and his parents put their utmost faith in Goro by getting him the best education they could afford. Though the boy knew there was more to the Hatanakas than just being old money, those old books they kept locked away in the basement told different things. After digging through them, Goro learned about the world of magic and could only feel [i]wonder[/i]. He read about the adventures the Hatanakas went on and what they were capable of - where others would see it as tales of fantasy; Goro knew that all the information lined up. Naturally, the boy kept this to himself but looked at his home village in a new light. However, one night changed [i]everything[/i] for Goro; he found himself facing one of the beings in his books: a Yokai. He got thoroughly trounced and almost killed, and this event unlocked a new potential in Goro: his Kindling-Event. He got to talk to his ancestors, who went on all those journeys, made all those weapons, and saved their world so many times. It renewed him with a new sense of purpose... even though the Yokai was still kicking his ass. However, he was saved by a girl with a magical ōdachi, who introduced herself as one of the Spirit Wardens that protected Japan: Akira Shinjo, and then the two parted ways. Afterward, Goro returned to those books and read so much about one place: The Hatanaka Sanctuary. He found the gate, but unfortunately, he couldn't find any way to get in, so he had to go to America to meet with his grandfather, who taught him how to get in. After Goro got in, he found a place of wonder and amazement, his private universe, and entered the castle. Goro found the remaining Hatanaka spellbooks and vigorously studied them, learning all the spells he could. It was easy for him, more accessible than most, as he learned the three cornerstones of the Hatanaka Spellbook: Ritual, Armandant, and Weaponmaster. Goro returned to his grandfather, who was amazed he learned about all of this as a teenager; he called Goro a [i]prodigy[/i]. Goro would need to use these spells to their fullest potential when the Stygian Snake attacked St. Portwell. One of the Yokai's minions almost killed Yoko, but he saved her with one of the blades he created and joined the Sycamore Tree Coven. He was one of the influential members of the Old Coven, who used his talent with Orange Lux to boost the Abstractions of heavy hitters like Trinity and create artifacts and weapons for the Coven to use. In between [i]that[/i], he was managing his crazy sister and trying to temper her ego and rage and stop her from causing too much trouble in the Old Coven. During this time, Goro got close to several members of the Old Coven, such as the Blackmore siblings, Kenshiro Murakin, Stormy Carson, Jack Hawthorn, Britney Williams, Kari Wilson, Jinhai Han, Sloane Faris, and so forth. The Stygian Snake was defeated, and Goro mourned all who were lost, but their time in America ended, and Goro and Yoko were sent back to Japan. This created a new sense of purpose in Goro, who returned to the Old Coven for a bit before its eventual dissolution. However, Goro knew that unlocking the true potential in magic required one to connect to others and learn from them. When he graduated, he attended university in St. Portwell to be close to the magic [i]and[/i] his Old Coven members. He collaborated a lot with the lots of Kenshiro Murakin and Kari Wilson to create several different artifacts. Though he was initially disappointed in his sister for turning her back on magic, she eventually came around, and he trained her in all that he had learned. However, their Grandfather was on his deathbed, and his dying wish was to find their family's missing artifacts and reinvigorate the Hatanaka Legacy. Goro knew he was up to the task, but his rambunctious sister wanted to come along, and while he would have loved for her to come along, she just wasn't ready. He told her to train more in the Hatanaka Sanctuary, then set off. He kept in touch and returned constantly to help Yoko with her training... ... Until he went missing while chasing after the Aberration Killer in New York.[/indent] [b]Abstraction:[/B] Adept - [i]Orange-Lux.[/i] Channeler: [indent][b]Ritual:[/b] Goro's mastery of Ritual Discipline centers on channeling Orange Lux through ancient rituals steeped in profound symbolism and spiritual connection. Using Soul's Radiance, he enhances allies' Abstractions with kanji-inscribed stones, boosting their strength. Song of the Heart fortifies Emotional-Fields against magical influences. Fortitude of Spirit reinforces and shields allies from emotional and mental manipulations. Harmony of Ascendance links participants to empower a chosen individual while temporarily dampening others' abilities. Spirit Ward enables Goro to imbue locations with barriers that prevent Apparitions and Apparition-based Aberrations from entering. [b]Armantant[/b] Goro enhances mundane objects with formidable magical abilities through precise Orange Lux manipulation. Sharpness imbues objects with supernatural cutting prowess, glowing with Orange Lux to slice effortlessly through materials. Armor-piercing grants objects the ability to breach magical defenses temporarily. Hardening reinforces objects with unparalleled durability and offensive strength. Extend magically elongates objects. Impact magnifies objects' kinetic force. Absorption converts incoming magical energy into stored power within objects and can be released as an explosion. Parry erects temporary defensive barriers that deflect physical attacks. Flash grants Goro brief bursts of incredible speed to deliver devastating strikes. Swift temporarily boosts his speed and reflexes for agile combat maneuvers. Disruption imbues objects with the ability to disable the effects of any artifact they strike temporarily. Awaken amplifies the magical properties of any artifact Goro holds. [b]Weaponmaster:[/b] Goro's Weaponmaster Discipline transcends traditional enchantment, harnessing collaborative magic with other Paranormals to empower objects. Through rituals and ancestral symbols guided by Orange Lux, Empower enhances weapons and artifacts with versatile magical attributes. Whether imbuing a weapon with elemental fury alongside a Red Lux Adept or granting an artifact truth-revealing abilities with a White Lux Adept. [indent][b]Mass-Production[/b] Goro's Magnum Opus, a spell of profound ingenuity and cunning. Goro channels his Orange Lux into a designated artifact through an intricate ritual and replicates these attributes across multiple other objects. Each object imbued with this spell inherits a diminished version of the Artifact's original enchantment.[/indent][/indent][/cell][/row]Members of the old Sycamore Tree Coven that have gone missing - you can consider them dead now.[/table][/hider][hider=The Stygian Snake's Casualites][table][row][cell][h2][b]Reza[color=2e2c2c].[/color]Cabrera[/b][/h2][/cell][cell][/cell][/row][row][cell][center][img]https://i.imgur.com/5IZG9AU.png[/img] [b]Deceased | Reza Cabrera | He/Him [/b][hr][i]"If you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us."[/i] [@Blizz][/center][/cell][cell] [b]Description:[/b] [indent]Reza was chosen by the Noble Vow for a reason. He was a kind young man, who saw good in places no one else could, and stood up for it when others would turn and leave. No one knew where Reza came from, only that he one day showed up in St. Portwell with a magic sword. He called himself a no-name drifter, just going from place to place until he came across the Sycamore Coven. Reza never made a single enemy, and could always find a few good things to say about even the most misanthropic members of the coven, even when their true colors were laid bare on a battlefield. He left no one behind, always fought tooth and nail to save others from the most bleak circumstances. It did not matter if someone was lost in a pocket dimension, or dragged through a portal by the Stygian Snake itself, Reza would follow his friends to hell and back, and was always the first one to kick open the doors. Reza grew particularly close with Jack Hawthorne, and they were often seen together when the coven mobilized to stop the tide of otherworldly entities. They made an incredible team, and bonded over their background, having both been aimless before they met the Sycamore. They saved each other's lives more times than they could count, and saw one another through the lowest points in their lives. Reza was inevitably killed during the conflict, on the exact day when they sealed the Stygian Snake away for good. [/indent] [b]Abstraction:[/B] Agent - Noble Vow [indent]The Noble Vow is a [url=https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/710908524602851461/1196968006740357212/dc16543d0ebc35323e2e020f56dc8fc9.png?ex=65b98e53&is=65a71953&hm=b36902393ec2d4198ced69914a5e1d98d0f26e5b4e0ac9ba7288e84265e832d1&=&format=webp&quality=lossless]sword [/url] believed to have formed out of the desire to do good in the world, expressed through the hearts of humanity. Whoever wields the Noble Vow must believe in the causes they commit themselves to, follow through with their promises, and never take a life unless they believe it to be just. These are necessary, or else the Noble Vow simply a dull piece of metal that will never cut anything. But when all of these conditions are met, and the wielder is deemed to be morally good by the sword, its blade becomes impossibly sharp, and will cut through solid steel as if it were paper. The sword is capable of injuring most apparitions as if they were made of flesh and bone, and those who harbor significant feelings of guilt in their hearts suffer its injuries for much longer periods of time. When someone who wields to Noble Vow dies, their swordsmanship skills are stored within the blade, and passed onto the next wielder. To receive this knowledge, one must be deemed worthy by the sword, which has shown to have a mind of its own in picking and choosing who is permitted to wield its power. After Reza's death and the conclusion of the battle against the Stygian Snake, the Noble Vow was entrusted to Jack Hawthorne, who kept it close in honor of his deceased friend.

However, due to a shady deal, the Diner was sold and ultimately ran into the ground, leaving her parents without the Diner their grandparents owned, and left them broke, dissolute, and angry, going straight to the bottle. Naturally, they took their anger out on the young Claire, and she grew up being beaten and emotionally abused, leaving the girl a broken shell of a person. Claire had no relief or anywhere to go, so she had to take it. The girl acted out and fell into the bad crowds... she was used to detention and going home in a police car. She was known for getting into fights, stealing, smoking weed, and sleeping around with both genders. A hoe reputation was the least of Claire's worries as she usually had to sleep with someone to be [i]anywhere[/i] but home. However, one day, they pushed young Claire to the brink. She finally experienced her Kindling-Event... and after experimenting with it, she could finally find her relief and defend herself... and was quickly thrown into the streets, which were [i]not[/i] kind to a young, in shape girl. She would pay anything not to go back to the O'Sullivan household, but one night, she was forced to go back home by the police where her parents were acting... strange. As it turned out, they were enthralled by the Stygian Snake and attempted to kill her, only for Claire to fight them off and haul ass into the night. The Stygian Snake attacked her, but she was able to get away. She asked around the school about anything weird happening... only to run into the cheerleader trio. They told me about the weird shit that was going on in St. Portwell and that they were going to do something about it. Claire was under that Sycamore Tree with Zoey, making their oath, and she was one of the famed primary frontline fighters of the Old Coven. Her dedication and savagery were legendary as she felled many of the Stygian Snake's minions and came to see the Old Coven as the family she never had! Though, old habits die hard and she slept around in the Old Coven. Things changed during their darkest hour when a girl named Sharon Reid, desperate to defeat the Stygian Snake, attempted to use a forbidden Spell that would sacrifice [i]thousands[/i] of citizens. Claire, Britney, Daisy, and Auri confronted Sharon, who triggered the Spell... killing Claire in the process. After her death, Claire was immortalized on the mural as [b][code]COS YA.[/code][/b] Claire was a relatively tall gal at five-nine feet tall, skinny, and had short brown hair. She usually had a hoarse voice from all the smoking she did.

[indent][b]Aura Shell:[/b] Claire could activate a powerful barrier that floated a few inches off her skin at will, acting as magical armor. This barrier could be manually activated, but it subconsciously activated whenever Claire sensed danger or got worried. This barrier was powerful, allowing Claire to tank hits from the [i]Stygian Snake[/i] (it was damn near broken at that point afterward), and made her practically invincible to its mooks. Also, the barrier allowed Claire to simulate super strength and lift to three tons - not enough to threaten the Stygian Snake, but enough to serve a problem to anything else. The barrier wrapped around Claire's clothing and whatever she held so she could use it to protect allies and augment weapons to attack.

The girl had difficulty keeping a lid on her emotions and found it very easy to get upset and blow up at other people. So, she usually stayed away from people, and she spent her early days being homeschooled and had great memories with her younger sister Bláthnat (who goes by Sugar these days). However, there was something off about her father, John Reid; he would sneak off to Cracker Island every Tuesday around eleven PM. Out of curiosity, Sharon followed after him one time, only to discover that her father was a serial killer who sacrificed women at a weird underground temple to a being known as the... Stygian Snake? It was crazy, Sharon confronted her father and he explained that if they didn't annually sacrifice women to the Stygian Snake, it would come to St. Portwell. The sheer stress of everything broke Sharon, and she fell apart... going through her Kindling-Event and discovering her Black Lux. She explored it a bit... ... And used it to kill her father. Afterward, Sharon just hid the body somewhere, and that was the end of it. Or so she thought because shortly afterward, the Stygian Snake began its rampage throughout St. Portwell, and she knew that maybe her father was onto something. To see if she could drive the bastard off, she stalked and sacrificed a woman... only for the thing to continue its rampage. Sharon kept at it, only for nothing to happen. Eventually, she was found by the Sycamore Tree Coven, and she joined them in their fight against the Stygian Snake. Keeping everything she did a secret, but she couldn't help but blame herself for everything that went wrong. Sharon kept to herself; however, a manual for Black Adepts was recovered during the Coven's excursions to other universes, and she found a spell in code. After working with the "Smart Club," she decoded it and found out it was instructions for a forbidden Spell: The Soulstorm. It was a powerful and devastating spell that could ravage even the strongest Paranormal beings, but it required a sacrifice: a thousand human souls. Sharon knew the cost was too high, and she wouldn't play God like [i]that[/i]. However, more and more of the old Coven's members began dropping like flies, and she knew they were running out of time. The day of the Eclipse was a day away. The Stygian Snake began its nightly rampage. It was all her fault. Sharon prepared the ritual... and was confronted by various members of the Old Coven. Sharon continued the ritual, only to prematurely launch it, killing [i]hundreds[/i] of innocent citizens and a few members of the Old Coven (including Claire O'Sullivan) in the process. Sharon tried to launch the spell again, only to be killed by Britney Williams. It became a secret among those present, and they went and told everyone that Sharon died fighting the Stygian Snake, and she earned herself a spot in their mural ([b][code]SR BA[/code][/b]).[/indent] [b]Abstraction:[/B] Adept - [i]Black-Lux.[/i] Channeler: [indent][b]Spectral-Blast:[/b] A focused blast of Necromantic energy that could directly injure Apparitions; she could manifest this in the form of a ball of various sizes or a beam. However, the more powerful she wanted to make the Spectral Blast, the more she had to channel and focus. [b]Spectral-Dart:[/b] A smaller version of the Spectral-Blast, she can instantly summon some tiny blasts that do not do as much damage but are not as time-consuming to cast. [b]Ethereal-Wave:[/b] The most powerful form of the Spectral-Blast, a powerful wave of Necromantic energy that requires several minutes to charge up. However, once cast, it can instantly destroy any Apparition short of the Stygian Snake (which damaged it enough to drive it off one instance). [b]Ethereal-Bind:[/b] Sharon could create several strings of necromantic energy out of her hands and wrap them around Apparitions to hold them down. [b]Soulstorm:[/b] A forbidden spell and the peak of all necromantic casting... it's a mighty storm of necromantic energy stated to be powerful enough to destroy even the Stygian Snake. However, it requires hundreds of human souls to cast and be compelling enough to destroy the Stygian Snake. Sharon considered the cost too high until they were almost on the day of the Eclipse.

Shining prism power! I’ll- what do you mean it’s cringey? Every magical girl needs a catchphrase!"[/i] [@FernStone][/center][/cell][cell] [b]Description:[/b] [indent]A nerdy and cheerful girl, Ella was the youngest of two with overworked but trying their best parents. When she was younger she always had her nose stuck in a book, letting it entertain her where her parents couldn’t, and then when she was allowed to access the internet at home she discovered her true passion - anime. Ella was absolutely obsessed with it, especially loving Sailor Moon and others like it. When she started high school she made her own little friend group of four weebs who all watched anime together, talking in a near understandable language about it to each other. They were bullied by the likes of Emily G. Reed and similar - but Ella & her weeb friends had each other for support through it. Then one day, when Ella and her friends were at the arcade, people around them started acting… odd. Then, two of her friends did too. They tried to kill her, triggering a kindling event for Ella and her other friend, Saskia. Between them, with their newfound powers and a bit of anime inspiration, they were able to escape before they were killed. They then ran into members of the Sycamore Tree coven pursuing the snake, and joined the coven. Ella was… looked at weirdly in the coven. She was strong and able to be on the front lines, but she couldn’t go a day without shouting out some cringy line (which was mandatory for using her abstraction). During the final week, Ella took on a group of apparitions that were too strong and she was too confident. She was brutally killed by them when she could no longer fight them off. After death, she was given a spot on the mural ([code]EB GORA[/code]). Ella was a just above average African-American girl, at five-six (and still growing), with natural hair dip dyed purple. She was always found in bright colours or anime t-shirts. [/indent] [b]Abstraction:[/B] Adept - [i]Green, Orange & Red Lux[/i]. Channeler: [indent][b]Magical Girl Transformation[/b]: Using a combination of her lux, Ella transforms herself into her magical girl form. This is mandatory for using any other spells (it's a mental block). She yells out a phrase and her whole body is bathed in prismatic light. Her clothes change into a purple miniskirt, white leotard and tiara, and her hair lengthens - colour changing into a pink to purple gradient. She poses dramatically at the end with her channeler (unnecessary for the spell to work). [b]Prismatic Sun Beam![/b]: Ella shot a beam of burning, rainbow light out of her channeler. This could pierce through objects and damage apparitions and people. It was her strongest spell. [b]Prismatic Healing Beam![/b]: Ella could shoot a beam of healing, rainbow light from her channeller, healing whoever it hit. It could heal one person in this light beam. [b]Super Prism Kick![/b]: Using her red and green lux, Ella empowered one of her legs with shining rainbow light. This made her leg much stronger and harder, along with making herself more flexible. She then performs a high kick with this leg. She could have used this spell for other types of attacks, but she didn’t. [b]Prismatic Protection![/b] Ella imbued her magical girl outfit, or another object, with an aura of rainbow light that made it physically stronger and thus more resistant to attacks.[/indent] [/cell][/row][row][cell][h2][b]Saskia[color=2e2c2c].[/color]Otten[/b][/h2][/cell][cell][/cell][/row][row][cell][center][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/63/50/b4/6350b43d84dc5db39a5de97f8d4ba05b.jpg[/img] [b]16 (at the time of death) | Saskia Anneke Otten | They/She [/b][hr][i]"We’re all going to die anyway, might as well just let it happen- I’m joking. Don’t look at me like that.."[/i] [@FernStone][/center][/cell][cell] [b]Description:[/b] [indent]Born to two Dutch immigrants, Saskia was an only child with high expectations on their shoulders. Their parents had their whole future planned out - they’d get the best grades, go to the best school, and become something prestigious, like a doctor or lawyer. When they were young Saskia was able to meet these expectations but as they grew it got harder and harder. They escaped primarily through reading - fantasy, horror and all kinds of darker fiction - and listening to music (namely rock and metal). They had very few friends, with their entire life being studying and reading. Then they started highschool and met Ella. Ella introduced them to anime, while also becoming their first friend. This was a whole new media to explore and escape to! With the new escape, and one friend becoming three, Saskia began to push back against their parents. They experimented more with their gender, dyed their hair, went out and started staying out late (watching anime). It was on one of these unapproved trips out that their two friends were enthralled by the Stygian Snake, triggering their kindling event. Together with Ella they were able to escape, and joined the Sycamore Tree coven. They stuck with Ella, not being as friendly as her, and helped on the frontlines. The day before the Eclipse, when they had to fight the Stygian Snake thanks to Drake’s recklessness, Saskia ended up trapped by a large group of apparitions. She managed to fight them off but used too much blood, and died to her wounds and bleeding out. She’s immortalised on the memorial ([code]SO GA[/code]). Saskia was a short, white girl at five-one, with dyed shoulder length hair and a few ear piercings. Saskia had quite a dark sense of humour, in the teenage way of not knowing when they were going too far with it.[/indent] [b]Abstraction:[/B] Adept - [i]Green Lux[/i]. Channeler: a black leather bracelet [indent][b]Blood Control:[/b] Inspired by all the edgy anime she watched, namely Deadman Wonderland, Saskia can control her own blood outside of her body. She needed to be bleeding to do this, so she’d normally carry a small knife with her to cut her finger and use the blood there. Since she was using her own blood, she had the potential to use too much and bleed out (which is what led to her death). She normally used her blood in two forms: [indent][b]Blood Blade[/b]: Saskia would form a long, sharp blade from the top of each of their hands. They used this for close ranged combat, able to slice through apparitions and objects. [b]Blood Tentacle[/b]: Using more blood, Saskia can form a long tentacle out of blood from her back. This could be used at a longer range, dealing blunt damage to anything it hit and able to pierce with the tip.[/indent] [/indent][/cell][/row]The members of the Old Coven who gave their lives against the Stygian Snake.[/table][/hider]
