[b]53 | Blake Nathan Schmidt |  He/Him[/b][hr][i]"Splendid!"[/i][/center][/cell][cell]
[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Blake Schmidt was born into a life of privilege and wealth, inheriting Paragon Tech Solutions from his late father, Gerald Schmidt, a brilliant inventor and entrepreneur. Under Gerald's leadership, Paragon Tech Solutions became renowned in advanced technology, specializing in AI systems, high-tech security, and consumer electronics. However, when Blake took over, the company's trajectory shifted; lacking his father's genius and vision, Blake relied heavily on the talented individuals he hired, passing off their innovations as his own.

Despite his lack of proper expertise, Blake's charisma and natural charm, coupled with his family's established reputation, allowed him to maintain the façade of a visionary leader. His time at Paragon Tech Solutions saw the company expanding into new markets and securing lucrative government contracts. Still, these achievements resulted from his employees' efforts and his inherited wealth rather than his capabilities. The company’s flagship product, the Paragon Sentinel, a state-of-the-art home security system integrating AI-driven surveillance and smart home technology, became a household name, bolstering Blake’s public image as a tech genius.

Blake's real passion, however, lay in the pursuit of power and influence. Disillusioned with the mundane world and driven by an insatiable desire for the supernatural, he became obsessed with the idea of magic. After fruitless attempts to gain magical abilities through various organizations, Blake formed his group, the Elite, comprised of wealthy individuals who shared his ambition. Despite his bumbling and often oblivious nature, Blake's determination and sheer luck allowed him to amass a collection of magical artifacts and build a network of[i] dangerous[/i] minions.

As the leader of the Elite, Blake seeks to make the Elite the largest Paranormal faction out there. His vision is grand, but his leadership is marred by questionable decision-making and a lack of clear direction. Blake remains blissfully unaware of his shortcomings, convinced of his genius and destined for greatness. His relentless pursuit of power, driven by his ego, propels the Elite forward, albeit [i]chaotically.[/i]

Blake’s personal life is as questionable as his professional one. He is notorious for his lecherous behavior and constant flirtations with women, often crossing the line into outright harassment. This has earned him a reputation as a pervert and a sex pest, making him a subject of disdain and mockery.  Blake is married to Phillis Schmidt, and they have three children: Cassandra, the eldest; Angela, the middle child; and Daniel, the youngest.

Blake desires the Stygian Snake, the key to gaining the power he desperately craves.[/indent]

Phillis was a renowned model who appeared on the covers of top fashion magazines and walked the runways of the world’s most prestigious fashion shows. Her beauty, charm, and keen business sense set her apart in modeling. Phillis met Blake at a charity gala hosted on the beach. Their instant attraction was undeniable, and their romance quickly became the talk of society pages. 

Despite Blake's less-than-savory reputation, Phillis believed she could help him channel his ambitions more [i]constructively.[/i] They married in an extravagant ceremony, combining their considerable wealth and influence, and the rest was history.

When Blake inherited Paragon Tech Solutions and later formed the Elite, Phillis found herself drawn into his world of high-stakes power plays and magical pursuits. Her beauty and charisma made her a valuable asset, and she soon became his number two in the Elite. 

Phillis primarily balances out his more impulsive nature, and Blake entrusts Phillis with a powerful Artifact. She plays a crucial role in Blake Schmidt's plan to empower their wealthy associates within the Elite and his end goal to gain control of the Stygian Snake.  [/indent]

[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Blake and Phillis Schmidt's eldest daughter, Angela, lived on the edge for as long as she can remember. Born into wealth and status, she thrived on the adrenaline rush of parties, lavish events, and the allure of endless nights fueled by her father's money. Her cunning and sharp wit were overshadowed by a reckless pursuit of pleasure that bordered on [i]self-destruction[/i]. 

Angela's lifestyle was a whirlwind of excess and indulgence, characterized by wild party antics that often spiraled out of control. Her evenings were a blur of expensive booze, designer drugs, wild and unprotected sex, and the company of her equally reckless peers. She pushed on without regard for consequences, chasing euphoria left a trail of broken relationships and tarnished reputations.

Despite her intelligence, Angela's hedonistic pursuits masked a more bottomless emptiness and dissatisfaction. She sought refuge in the chaotic glamour of St. Portwell's nightlife scene, where every night was an escape from the pressures of her family's expectations and the weight of her privilege. Within the Elite, Angela saw an opportunity not only to maintain her destructive lifestyle but to [i]amplify[/i] it. She viewed the organization's resources as a means to fuel her addiction to adrenaline and chaos.[/indent]

[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Cassandra, the middle child of Blake and Phillis Schmidt, embodies wealth and privilege. from a young age, she was immersed in a world of excess, where her every whim was indulged without question. Cassandra quickly learned to leverage her family name and fortune to navigate the social circles of St. Portwell.

Her teenage years were marked by a relentless pursuit of pleasure and excitement, often pushing boundaries and testing the limits of her family's patience. Cassandra's wild parties and lavish spending became infamous among St. Portwell, and she frequently appeared in some gossip magazines. Cassandra [i]reveled[/i] in the attention and admiration that came with her lifestyle, utterly oblivious to the consequences of her actions. To her, it was all about the rush of the moment, no time to think about the consequences of her actions.

As she entered adulthood, Cassandra's behavior only worsened: she became famous for impulsive decisions and utter disregard for authority. Her relationships were fleeting and soulless, driven by attraction or resources rather than genuine connection. Yet, Cassandra harbors deep insecurities and fears of being overshadowed by her siblings and peers. 

Within the Elite, Cassandra's role is mainly ceremonial: she's just there to bolster the family's influence over the families "beneath" the Schmidts without requiring any real contribution. Cassandra could care less about the Stygian Snake or Blake's lust for power but is unfortunately pressured into it, so the Family has more sway and influence within their organization.[/indent]

[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Daniel Schmidt, the youngest child of Blake and Phillis Schmidt, stands out as the most competent and ambitious member of his family. Born into the luxury of the Schmidt dynasty, Daniel grew up witnessing his father's bumbling leadership and his sister's reckless behavior. Unlike them, Daniel displayed a natural and keen interest in the family business from an early age.

As a teenager, Daniel often felt frustrated by the lack of recognition for his talents. While his father, Blake, basked in unearned glory and his sisters indulged in hedonistic pursuits, Daniel quietly excelled in his studies. He absorbed everything he could about Paragon Tech Solutions and the mysterious world of magic - which he learned about far before his father. 

He spent countless hours in the company's research labs, learning from the brilliant minds his father had hired. Despite his dedication and evident skill, Daniel was frequently overlooked, his potential dismissed by those who viewed him as just another privileged Schmidt. At 19, Daniel's frustration had reached its peak. He felt a profound sense of boredom, knowing he had so much to offer but no one willing to take him seriously. 

His salvation [i]finally[/i] came from the Elite, while Blake, Jiao-Long, and Jason focused on their grand visions; Daniel saw the Elite as an opportunity to prove himself. He became determined to gain access to artifacts and apparitions, believing that mastering these magical elements would finally earn him the respect and recognition he [i][b]craved.[/b][/i]

Within the Elite, Daniel's role is that of a quiet yet relentless seeker of knowledge and power. He tirelessly researches ancient texts, studies the properties of various artifacts, and hones his magical skills in secret. Unlike his father, who relies on luck and manipulation, Daniel is methodical and strategic, driven by a genuine passion for understanding and mastering magic.[/indent]

[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Jiao-Long Liu was born into a wealthy and influential family in Hong Kong, known for their ruthless business tactics and extensive connections in various industries. Jiao-Long was groomed to take over the family empire from a young age but had different plans. Unlike his parents, who desired power and control, Jiao-Long was driven to impact the world positively. 

Determined to carve his path, Jiao-Long left Hong Kong and moved to America, where he could pursue his vision. He founded Liu Biomedical, a cutting-edge company focused on medical research and biotechnology. With a keen intellect and a [i]relentless[/i] work ethic, Jiao-Long quickly established himself as a pioneer in the field. His company became renowned for its groundbreaking research in genetic engineering, regenerative medicine, and innovative treatments for chronic diseases. Under his leadership, Liu Biomedical developed several life-saving therapies and technologies, earning Jiao-Long widespread acclaim.

Despite his success, Jiao-Long remained humble and approachable, always prioritizing the well-being of his patients and employees over profits. His good-natured and compassionate demeanor won him many allies, but his idealism sometimes made him naive to the world's harsh realities. Jiao-Long’s journey in America also led him to cross paths with Blake Schmidt. Though vastly different in personality and values, the two men found common ground in pursuing the extraordinary. Jiao-Long’s scientific brilliance and Blake’s entrepreneurial spirit complemented each other, and together, they founded the Elite, an organization dedicated to harnessing the power of magic. Jiao-Long viewed the Elite as a means to advance his research and help humanity on a grander scale, while Blake saw it as a pathway to ultimate power. 

Jiao-Long's vision for the Elite was markedly different from Blake's. He envisioned the Elite as a benevolent council dedicated to protecting St. Portwell and its inhabitants from the dangers of the supernatural world. He believed the Elite should act as guardians and benefactors, using their powers and resources to maintain peace and order in the city. This vision often put him at odds with other members of the Elite, who were more interested in pursuing personal gain and power.

On a personal front, Jiao-Long is devoted to his family. His wife, Chunhua, shares his compassionate nature and supports his endeavors wholeheartedly. Their son, Hank, at 13, is full of energy and curiosity. Jiao-Long is raising him to take over Liu Biomedical one day. He nurtures Hank's interests in science and medicine, guiding him to appreciate the importance of their work and instilling in him the values of compassion and innovation that define the company. While Hank's current interests lean towards adventure and discovery, Jiao-Long patiently integrates these passions with the family's legacy.[/indent]

[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Chunhua Liu was born in Shanghai, China. Her parents, both teachers, instilled in her a deep respect for education and a love for learning from a young age. Chunhua was an exceptional student, excelling in her studies and demonstrating a natural talent for the sciences. Her academic prowess earned her a scholarship to one of Shanghai's top universities, where she pursued a degree in biomedical engineering. Her dedication and brilliance caught the attention of her professors, who encouraged her to further her studies abroad.

Chunhua's determination and talent secured her a spot in a prestigious biomedical research program in the United States. This opportunity allowed her to work alongside some of the brightest minds in the field and gain invaluable experience. During one of these collaborative projects, she met Jiao-Long Liu, a driven and visionary young scientist from her home country. Their shared passion for medical research and a mutual desire to positively impact the world quickly brought them together. Their professional relationship soon blossomed into an actual relationship, and they married shortly after completing their respective programs.

Chunhua and Jiao-Long founded Liu Biomedical, and despite the demands of their company, they managed to maintain a strong relationship. They had two children together, Linda and Hank, whom Jiao-Long wants to take over the family business when he reaches age. Within the Elite, however, Chunhua acts as Jiao-Long Liu's trusted second-in-command despite her unfamiliarity with magic. She recognizes the necessity of utilizing magic responsibly while harnessing its capabilities for humanitarian purposes.[/indent]

[indent]Has the nickname [i]Melissa[/i] to blend in with Americans more.

Born as Jiao-Long Liu's illegitimate daughter from a hookup during his early career, Mika's life began in Japan under the care of her mother, Emiko Tanaka. Her upbringing was marred by her father's absence, whose involvement was kept secret to preserve his public image and relationship with Chunhua. However, in Mika's teen years, after Emiko died from breast cancer, Mika was brought to America and introduced to her sister Lin and brought into the fold. Despite her status as an illegitimate child, Jiao-Long had [i]big[/i] plans for Mika: he wanted to make her the future head of Liu Biomedical. Recognizing her potential, he oversaw her education and early career development. From a young age, Mika was enrolled in prestigious academies, mentored by top scientists, and given opportunities to shadow executives within the company. Jiao-Long ensured that Mika received a comprehensive education in biomedical sciences, aiming to prepare her to take over the family business. Mika was excited, seeing this as her [i]birthright[/i].

Then Hank was born.

Jiao-Long completed 180 and decided to make [i]Hank[/i] the future head of Liu Biomedical over her, thereby putting years of preparation and training to the test. This created an[i][b] intense[/b][/i] resentment towards her father and brother, perceiving his favoritism towards Hank as a rejection of her potential. This made Mika want to prove herself, and the golden opportunity arose when the Elite was created. In the Elite, Mika occupies a unique position; while officially, she supports her father, Jiao-Long, as his deputy, privately, she harbors ambitions to surpass and supplant him. She views Blake as an incompetent leader and sees herself as the rightful heir to lead the organization - and knows that there is no future for the Elite under that boor. Her drive to take over the Elite is fueled by a secret desire to impress others and prove herself worthy, not out of any grand goal.

Mika is highly sophisticated, intelligent, and wise, though she's often judgmental, uncaring, and dismissive of others, particularly those she perceives as lacking in intellect or class. Her deep love for her sister Lin is a cornerstone of Mika's character. She sees in Lin a kindred spirit and fiercely protects her, viewing Lin's genuine warmth and kindness as a contrast to her cold and dismissive demeanor. However, Mika harbors an [i]obsession[/i] with tea stemming from her refined taste.[/indent]

[indent]Known as [i]Lin.[/i]

A wealthy member of the Old Coven was the second (known) daughter of the magnanimous Jiao-Long Liu. The Liu family comes from money from Hong Kong, and Linda was fortunate enough that her father was a genius who owned the Liu Biomedical Company. He was a successful company with the resources to shower Lin in everything she wanted. However, she grew up sheltered, and in addition to her social skills, the girl was always timid, never having the backbone to stand up for herself as someone typically did for her. That someone was usually her older sister, Mika, but she was working on herself through therapy. 

However, even from high up on her tower, Lin could feel the darkness cast over the city by the Stygian Snake. Over the summer, her parents went on vacation while Lin elected to stay home and noticed a suspicious amount of people turning up dead in the news due to a "natural disaster." That natural disaster turned up on her front door as it was the Stygian Snake, and it famously flattened the Liu Estate in which Lin stayed. It caused her Kindling-Event, and she would have been killed if it wasn't for her peer, Sage Pimm. Sage roped her into the Old Coven, and she felt like an alien - the Old Coven was a wild beast primarily comprised of people she wasn't used to dealing with normal teenagers. 

So, Lin stayed in the little clique of affluent peers that valiantly offered to fight the Stygian Snake, which was the Valos twins, Jaska, Sylvia, Sage, and Trisha. Lin didn't branch out beyond that; she was otherwise just a footsoldier in the war against the Stygian Snake. She was close to Jake Valos, and it fostered a friendship between them that eventually blossomed into a relationship. However, once the Stygian Snake was defeated, Lin wanted nothing to do with magic and was among the first to hit the door - serving herself afterward.

Lin was pretty content living the rest of her life in her father's shadow and being Jake Valos's girlfriend. However, as she grows as a person and becomes more than just the timid, wealthy daughter of Jiao-Long, she regrets her choice to live without magic. She wished she had kept it, but there wasn't much she could do about it now that she was severed. Recently, Jake proposed to her, and now they are getting married! 

And she is getting her chance of regaining magic...

The murders began, and suddenly, Lin found herself regressing. She got an invitation back to the Coven from Auri, but unlike Trisha, she gave Auri a polite "no" and kept it moving. Her father's security detail would do more for her than the Coven ever would. Lin is a pureblooded Chinese woman who stands at five-seven and is very bony and nerdy-looking. She is very unassuming and unthreatening.[/indent]

[b]Abstraction:[/B]
Agent - [i]The Arrowhead.[/i]
[indent]Lin possesses [url=https://i.imgur.com/AjDAHCJ.jpg]The Arrowhead[/url], an artifact crafted by Native American Adepts using Purple and Pink Lux. This powerful artifact grants her various psychic abilities. At the forefront is her telepathy, which allows her to read the thoughts of others and communicate mentally. This telepathic connection is not surface-level; Lin can delve deeper over time, accessing long-buried memories. Additionally, her telepathy grants her immunity to any mental abilities aimed at her as long as she wears the Arrowhead.

Moreover, Lin's telepathy can influence the thoughts of others over time, allowing her to implant ideas or suggestions subtly. Her telekinesis further amplifies her power, enabling her to manipulate objects effortlessly. Lin can hurl items with immense force with a mere thought and can do this repeatedly without getting tired. She can channel her psychic energy to launch debris, tools, or more oversized items like a makeshift railgun, turning her environment into a weaponized playground. This control extends to delicate manipulations, allowing her to rearrange objects or perform intricate tasks from a distance.

[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Jason Valos wasn't born as Jason Valos.

But as Andre Ramiah. Andre was born and raised on the streets of Chicago; his early life was marred by crime and gang life. As a young gangbanger, Andre navigated the dangerous world of street violence and crime. His life took a dramatic turn when he went through his Kindling-Event during a shootout, awakening his Red Lux. This newfound power gave him an edge in the criminal underworld, and Andre knew better than to throw away such an edge. Thus, Andre became a magical mercenary known as "Goldtooth." Goldtooth's reputation spread through the criminal underworld of Chicago and the neighboring states as he undertook a series of heists and odd jobs, amassing significant wealth and notoriety. His skills in magic and crime were unmatched, and his cunning and ruthlessness made him [i]feared[/i]. 

Then he stopped.

Once he had accumulated enough riches, Andre decided it was time to leave it all behind and quit while he was ahead. He relocated to the West Coast and crafted a new identity. A suave businessman, [i]Jason Valos[/i], was born. Relocating to the West Coast, Jason invested his "inherited wealth" into a string of nightclubs, hotels, and casinos, building an empire that catered to the wealthy and powerful. Jason Valos, alongside Jiao-Long Liu and Blake Schmidt, co-founded the Elite, positioning himself as the pragmatic third pillar in their hierarchy, driven by his insatiable quest for wealth and power. However, he passionately dislikes both and only puts aside his hatred of the Liu and Schmidts for pragmatic reasons.

Despite his criminal origins, Jason Valos is a charismatic and ambitious individual. His vision for the Elite is vastly different from that of his associates. For Jason, the primary goal of the Elite is to get filthy stinkin' rich. He is less concerned with ruling the magical scene or protecting the city; instead, he focuses on profit and expanding his empire. Jason's personal life is as complex as his business dealings. He is married to Gabriela Valos, and they have two children (Gabriela Jr, and Jake) together. However, he has several illegitimate children scattered across the United States, such as Johnny and Jaska Valos.[/indent]

From a young age, she exhibited a fierce ambition and a knack for navigating the complexities of life in a city that thrived on competition and opportunity. With parents who instilled the value of hard work, Gabriela excelled in her studies and developed a passion for business, often dreaming of running her empire one day.

Her path crossed with Jason Valos during his rise to power in the nightlife scene. Attracted to his charisma and ambition, Gabriela saw in him a partner who shared her drive for success. They quickly fell in love, and their relationship flourished as they built a life together, eventually marrying and starting a family. Gabriela became the backbone of Jason's various business ventures, leveraging her keen instincts and organizational skills to help expand their empire. While she supported Jason’s ambitions, Gabriela also sought to carve out her own identity within their world, establishing herself as a formidable businesswoman in her own right.

Despite her glamorous lifestyle, Gabriela remains grounded and deeply connected to her family. She is a loving mother to Gabe and Jake, always prioritizing their well-being and encouraging them to pursue their dreams. Gabriela’s nurturing side often contrasts with her fierce determination in the boardroom, where she is known for her no-nonsense attitude and sharp negotiating skills. While she admires Jason’s ambition, she sometimes struggles with the darker aspects of his past and the criminal undercurrents of their empire.[/indent]

[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]The Wizard, The Highroller, the Pimp!

The firstborn son of Jason Valos, Johnny was conceived after his father seduced his mother, Anna Cruz (A housekeeper at a hotel he owned at the time). She got pregnant from the encounter, and knowing that he was wealthy [i]and[/i] currently engaged, she managed to leech plenty of money from Jason Valos to keep shut. His mother found a relationship with another man and eventually gave Sylvia Cruz to the world! However, his step-father, Yoel Cruz, didn't want anything to do with a child that wasn't his, and neither did his mother. 

So, without anybody to reign him in, he essentially became a hellraiser and did all the things kids shouldn't do. He hung out with the wrong crowds, did and sold drugs, fought, and tried fucking anything with two legs. He thought of everyone around him as a tool and consequently worthless; he didn't care about them or their feelings. This quickly became a worrying trend in school because he was making enemies fast, causing trouble that someone else had to clean up. Plenty of times, he came home beaten to a pulp or in detention - where he was beaten up after he got out.

Eventually, Anna had enough and sent Johnny to St. Portwell to live with his father, which initially [i]sucked[/i]. Still, he was quickly introduced to a life of luxury... that made him even[i] more[/i] arrogant. He was introduced to his family of siblings, Gabe, Jake, and Jaska, and they all had wacky adventures (With Sylvia eventually tagging along) in a city rife with chaos, magic, and adventure! This included causing plenty of headaches for Daddy Valos, as he typically received angry phone calls after their rampages. In between those, Johnny had plenty of time for hobbies, and poker, spades, and card games always came naturally to him, and so did the shooting, as he always loved western movies. 

Though, Jason did very little to temper Johnny's attitude, and he still acted like a shithead until he was eighteen! It all culminated in Johnny getting the (then) mayor of St. Portwell's daughter pregnant during a drunken night of debauchery with the other Valos siblings that caused [i]millions[/i] of dollars of property damage. He was expecting a slap on the wrist, but at this point, Johnny was eighteen and Jason was through with pampering the boy. Thus, he got cut off and returned to Miami, where not even his [i]mother[/i] wanted anything to do with him, and he felt lost, desperate, and betrayed by the people he loved.

These feelings... they triggered his Kindling Event, which was a weird ass and trippy moment. However, he saw it as an opportunity! At the moment, he thought he was the only one with magic and thus went on a little magic-fueled crime spree throughout Miami! Eventually, he amassed enough wealth to afford an apartment for himself! However, he was not the only magic user in Miami; in fact, there was, at the time, one magic organization that ruled Miami's magic scene from the shadows: Dollhouse. Dollhouse noticed Johnny, but instead of killing him, they offered him a friendly invitation: join them. 

With a grin, Johnny accepted the invitation and gained all the power, money, and status that came with rolling with Dollhouse. In their organization, he was nothing but a goon; he was muscle, a pusher, a bodyguard, an assassin, and a collector. He stuck with Dollhouse for a long time, picking up a few tricks from Dollhouse, learning all about magic and all the potential that comes with it... and it made him[i] excited[/i]. However, the longer he rolled with Dollhouse, the more he learned their secrets... and he eventually found out about the Abscised Army, that they were kidnapping people and putting ghosts in them! Johnny thought that was a little bit fucked up and knew that his time with Dollhouse had come to an end.

He plotted, waited until the perfect moment, and then vanished without a trace, burning down the apartment complex that he was in. After laying low for a few months, Johnny used the skills and talents he picked up during his time with Dollhouse to become a magical gun for hire - picking up the alias of [i]The Revolver.[/i] He traveled from one end of the country to the other, picking up jobs for the highest bidder and clashing with the PRA, Covens in different cities (including one in Tampa, Florida), and whoever else got in his way. Amassing a fearsome reputation on the streets and wealth like no other. 

However, Johnny had to return to St. Portwell. For two reasons, the first being the string of murders that came to members of the Old Coven, which [i]all[/i] of his siblings were a part of. The second was that he heard that Dollhouse had moved into St. Portwell. Thus, Johnny returned to protect his siblings from this mysterious killer and Dollhouse.

[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]One of the children of the illustrious Jason Valos, a Casino, Restaurant, and Hotel tycoon who owns businesses all over the West Coast. Jason was a billionaire and could shower his children with wealth and the life he never had! Leaving Jake, his twin sister Gabe, and their various siblings in the hands of maids and butlers - with loads of money. Hilarity ensues.

Jake was technically born in St. Portwell but only spent his summers there with his twin sister and younger brother, Jaska. The Valos didn't have a high standing in the city [s]or wherever they went[/s] mainly since, wherever the Valos went, [i]chaos[/i] followed. Jake and his sister Gabe were inseparable. They were known for causing trouble, partying, and having adventures on their daddy's dime. Things were great... until their newest little brother, Jaska, was thrown through the window. 

While Daddy Valos was known for sleeping around, Jaska had [i]wings![/i] Alongside another secret, magic was real, a factoid they were made well aware of when Jaska transformed into a hulking monstrosity when a trigger phrase was mentioned around him. Jaska went on a rampage throughout the Valos Mansion, causing Jake and Gabe to undergo their Kindling Events, but Daddy Valos came in to restrain Jaska long enough to transform back to normal. Naturally, the Valos twins were confused... but now they had magic to elevate their hi-jinks!

Such as fighting the Stygian Snake! As one faithful summer, darkness overcame St. Portwell, the Stygian Snake. Jake and Gabe were at a party with the "commoners" that was attacked by a monstrous brute known as Scott Reese. They survived and fought him off using their magic, but one of the people they partied with, Claire O'Sullivan, roped them into the Coven to fight the Stygian Snake.

And the Valos were never ones to miss out on an adventure. 

They saw it all... met friends that died the same day, fought against a demi-God, and more! Usually, they stuck to their clique, which eventually ended up being the rich kids (Except Sloane; all of them [i]hated[/i] Sloane). However, as the battle with the Stygian Snake intensified, they did something drastic: Roped Jaska in. He was a powerful force but a difficult-to-control one similar to Vashti and her Leviathan. With the help of Pink Lux, they managed to temper Jaska's Outer-Devil and help defeat the Stygian Snake!

However, they were harshly criticized by the other members of the Coven for their decision to use a nine-year-old as a superweapon. With the Old Coven also becoming a clusterfuck as various secrets came to light, the Valos twins decided to step out and move on with their lives simply. Jake was built up to be the successor for his father's empire in the coming years, and he got into a relationship with his fellow Coven-mate, Lin. Life was good... until the murders started, and he felt like he was on the chopping block. He rejected Auri's invitation, however, as he wanted nothing to do with Sycamore anymore. 

That phase of his life was over.

[b]Abstraction:[/B]
Adept - [i]Red Lux.[/i] Channeler: Gold Pocketwatch.
[indent][b]Photomancy:[/b] Harnessing the vibrant energy of his Red Lux, Jake can create intricate objects made entirely of light. With a wave of his hand and a focused intent, he materializes constructs that shimmer and pulse with various colors. These constructions can range from simple items, like shields and weapons, to complex structures, such as bridges or barriers. In combat, these constructs can serve as offensive tools and defensive barriers, providing strategic advantages in the heat of battle. Additionally, Jake can manipulate the light to create blinding flashes and control the colors of existing lights. He has some sub spells:
[indent][b]Illusions:[/b] As a sub-spell of his primary Photomancy, Jake utilizes light manipulation to create realistic illusions. With this ability, he can create vivid illusions that look real and emit realistic sounds. When he materializes an illusion, he can imbue it with auditory effects - ranging from the subtle rustle of clothing to the unmistakable sound of dialogue. Jake can create an illusion of anything he can imagine.

[b]Invisibility:[/b] Invisibility: As a sub spell of his primary Photomancy, Jake harnesses light manipulation to render himself and objects invisible. By bending and refracting light around his target, he creates a cloak of invisibility that makes him or the chosen object blend seamlessly into the environment. 

[b]Laser Beam Emission: [/b]As a sub spell of his primary Photomancy, Jake attempts to harness light into a fundamental beam of energy, but his execution lacks the raw power of his sister Gabe's technique. When he gathers ambient light, he can create a modest laser that travels forward, albeit with less intensity. This beam is more of a distraction than a weapon, emitting a flickering glow that can momentarily dazzle or confuse opponents rather than inflict serious harm. Jake struggles with maintaining focus, often resulting in beams that vary in size and strength, making them unpredictable.

[b]27 | Gabriela Mya Valos Jr |  She/Her[/b][hr][i]"Give me a reason, and I'll burn your urethra shut!"[/i][/center][/cell][cell]
[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Where her twin-brother, Jake, is a calm and reasonable person... Gabe is the exact fucking opposite. She is very firey and passionate and will fight tooth and nail for the people she cares about (which was the wealthy clique in the Old Coven). Gabe is known for being practically glued to her twin brother and was by his side during all their major life events. She was there for Jaska's first rampage through the Valos mansion, for the fight against the Stygian Snake, and when Jake proposed to Lin. 

Let's take it back to the fight with the Stygian Snake: Gabe wasn't precisely a well-liked member; in fact, she was an asshole. However, they could not argue with the fact that Gabe was a [i]powerhouse[/i] that managed to stagger the Stygian Snake at some point. She was the primary enforcer and protector in the Rich Clique and protected the softer members, such as Lin, Sage, and her brother, from assholes like George Nelson and Emily G. Reed. However, she and Jake made the conscious decision to drag their little brother, Jaska, into the Old Coven, and their already shitty reputation in the Old Coven somehow got worse. Having enough of these annoying dumbasses, Gabe and Jake left the Old Coven. 

While Jake was built up to be the next ruler of the Valos Enterprise, Gabe decided to spend her life partying! She parted from her brother, who had gotten with fellow Old Coven member Lin and spent the next leg of her life partying, traveling the world. While they were known for being joined by the hip, her brother was busy training to become the next big tycoon and eating out his girlfriend. However, while Gabe was out partying, something felt off... this wasn't her true calling, and she felt like she needed to go home after this many years of doing nothing of value with her life. 

The murders began, Auri extended the invitation to her, and she told Auri to eat her ass.[/indent]

[b]Abstraction:[/B]
Adept - [i]Red Lux.[/i] Channeler: 
[indent][b]Laser Beam Emission:[/b] Much like her brother, her primary spell has something to do with light. Unlike her brother, it focused more on raw power... She could gather the light around her and project it as a deadly beam that moves at the speed of light that burns the air around her. This laser beam was [i]hot[/i] to say the least. She can control the size of the laser - the wider the beam, the larger the radius, but the smaller the beam, the more focused it becomes. This spell, when boosted, was powerful enough to damage the Stygian Snake enough to force it to retreat in one instance, but otherwise, it allowed her to cleave through the Stygian Snake's minions.

[b]Superheating:[/b] Gabe could heat a part of her body, or an object she touches, up so much that it glows [i]orange.[/i] With this ability, she is the hot knife that cuts through people like butter, and she can heat metal enough so that it melts. 

[b]Over-Friction:[/b] Gabe can enhance the friction she creates to the point where it creates [i]fire[/i]. Through this spell, she can make fire by manipulating air friction to strengthen her strikes.

[b]Flammable Liquid Manipulation:[/b] Gabe can manipulate flammable liquids such as gasoline, alcohol, oil, and other volatile liquids and cause them to combust at will... these flames will be far hotter but somehow burn much, much, slower.[/indent]

[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]A "sort of" member of the Old Coven and a significant reason that the Valos twins are not liked.

To begin, a woman named Reiko Ain existed, a descendant of a nameless tribe (Referred to as "The Tribe") of Abominable that traveled from place to place. It was unknown where they came from, but they could breed with humans and blend in with them to an extent. Reiko left the tribe when she was a grown woman and drifted from place to place working for different supernatural organizations as a spy/intelligencer, enforcer, and more... and worked as an escort for a brothel in Boston known as "The High Society" staffed by paranormals for people with an "acquired taste." One person who frequented the club was Jason Valos, and he saw Reiko once. She got pregnant, eventually giving birth to her son, Jaska. 

However, Reiko was not one to sit around and raise a child, as she thought that Jaska would be in better hands with his father, and her life was [i]not[/i] suitable for a child. So one morning, when Jaska was old enough, she chucked him through the window of the Valos Manor and disappeared into the night. Leaving the Valos confused as they had a winged child in their midst now... and after a DNA test, it was proven that Jaska was [i]indeed[/i] Jason's child. The remaining Valos siblings gave Jaska the cold shoulder, except for Johnny Valos, who welcomed him with open hands. 

Things were good, but the Valos were unaware of the true nature of Jaska's abstraction, and more importantly the trigger phrase for his [i]Outer-Devil[/i] form, "Little Devil". Upon hearing this phrase one day, Jaska transformed into a fearsome, four-legged, dragon-like beast that went on a rampage. He caused millions of dollars worth of damage to the Valos manor and forced Jake, Gabe, and Sylvia to undergo their kindling event before he was restrained by Jason and returned to normal. Since then, everyone has treated Jaska like a monster and ensured that they [i]never[/i] say that phrase around him again. However, despite it all, Johnny still treated him like a person and eventually got the other Valos to come around. There were a few other incidents, but Jaska [i]really[/i] didn't like to transform. He felt alone.

What didn't help was the fact that, towards the end of the conflict with the Stygian Snake, Jake and Gabe "enlisted" Jaska, who was [i]ten[/i] at the time, into the Coven. Their logic was that people were dropping like flies, and Jaska was a powerhouse - a very unstable powerhouse - but with the help of some Pink Lux, they managed to control the Outer Devil form to utilize as a weapon. Of course, Jaska didn't like this, nor did most of the Coven. So when Jake, Gabe, and the others left, so did Jaska.

He didn't know what to do with his life as his features made him feel like an outcast, fortunately with the help of Lihn Phan, he was able to overcome most of his issues over time. Learn to forgive his siblings for using him as a WMD against the Stygian Snake, but not what he wanted to do with his life. However, once Auri called out to him, he was courteous enough to leave her on read. 

The Coven had enough bad memories. 

Jaska is a very peculiar boy... Most notably, he has two massive black bat-like wings on his back. They are, unfortunately, visible to the Blind so Jaska typically stays in the grounds of the Valos Manor during the day - or he wears some well concealing clothes. He Stands at five-eleven, he's skinny and looks just a little bit younger than he should due to his abstraction.[/indent]

[b]Abstraction:[/B]

Abominable - [i]Outer-Devil.[/i]
[indent]The Outer-Devil is an Abstraction that is hereditary, and some may consider Jaska Afflicted, but this is indeed an Abstraction passed down to him by his mother. It is unknown where the Outer Devil originated if it was spawned by belief or created, but it grants Jaska inhuman features alongside pyrokinesis. The Abstraction is separated into two different modes: Inactive and Active.

The Outer Devil, when it's inactive, is Jaska Valos's typical form, a boy with wings and no other physical alterations. The wings... are just regular wings, and they possess enough strength to lift him off the ground and allow him to fly - even enough to bring one other person. His healing has been increased, but he won't be regenerating from a stab wound in seconds. He can heal much faster and regrow limbs (including his wings) as long as he constantly has food in his belly! As far as the pyrokinesis goes, it isn't as much manipulating flames as creating flames. He can cast a flamethrower out of his hands and create a whole inferno with focus.

The Outer-Devil is an entirely different story when it's [i]active[/i]. Once Jaska hears the phrase "Little Devil," he will transform into a [url=https://i.imgur.com/QEAi6fO.jpg]four-legged, dragon-like monster[/url] that has the girth of a UPS Truck! Jaska possesses monstrous strength, durability, and speed in this form - losing his wings. His pyrokinesis is exponentially enhanced, and he can spew infernos like nothing, however it comes with a second effect. The environment will transform into a hellish wasteland as stone turns into brimstone, buildings crumble, and plantlife distingrate. The longer he is in this form, the further the effect spreads. 

While the Outer-Devil is active, he cannot control himself and will be a rampaging beast until he's critically injured, restrained long enough, or after a few hours when he transforms back on his own.[/indent]

[b]26 | Sylvia Lana Cruz |  She/Her[/b][hr][i]"Chupa mi verga."[/i][/center][/cell][cell]
[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Member of the Old Coven and defacto Valos.

Why "defacto?" Well, you see, Daddy Valos (Jason) knocked up her mother, Anna, long before she was born and gave the world the wonderful Johnny Valos. Afterward, Anna moved on and found a husband, Yoel Cruz. The two got married, and Sylvia came into the world soon after! Sylvia, as many younger siblings do, [i]reverred[/i] her older brother Johnny, even though her parents knew that Johnny was a bad influence. In Sylvia's eyes, he was the coolest of the cool, and she wanted to be just like him! Naturally, she followed Johnny around and ended up with him when he traveled to St. Portwell to spend time at the Valos manor. 

It took a while, but Sylvia just [i]clicked[/i] with Gabe and Jake, and eventually, they accepted her as one of them - even calling them their sister from another mister. Sylvia even spent time with the Valos without Johnny! However, Sylvia was there the day Jaska had gone on a rampage and Kindled alongside Jake, Gabe, and Johnny. Ultimately, Sylvia went to St. Portwell during the infamous summer when the Stygian Snake began her rampage. Unlike most of the Coven, she was not saved by the Coven then roped in but by Jake and Gabe. And much like them, Sylvia was [i]not[/i] well-liked among the Old Coven, nor did she like them. She liked to mess with the people there, and she was considered very annoying - not that she gave a shit. However, given her purple and orange lux mixture, she was instrumental and one of the few who could open portals to other dimensions.

They tolerated her up until the end, and when Jake, Gabe, and the others in the "Rich Clique" left, Sylvia was right alongside them and gave not a single damn about the Coven at that point. Sylvia returned to Miami with adventures and tales to tell, but she wanted to do more with her life than have adventures. Did I ever mention that Sylvia had a love for music? She wanted to pursue a music career and began as an independent underground artist... eventually gaining a small following.

After begging the Valos twins for [i]months,[/i] she convinced them to get Jason Valos to back her and get her a record deal! The label saw her potential, and Sylvia Cruz became... [i]Astrid Storm![/i] A very influential artist who performed worldwide! She is famous for mixing rock, techno, and rap. She is infamous for her social media usage and was canceled several times over problematic posts. After the last time the label dropped her, she was forced to preform in small town music events and other small venues to get some money.

Eventually, leading her back to St. Portwell... coincidentally around the time of the murders. When Auri put the call out to her, Sylvia responded with a poignant and complex: "suck my dick." (Note she doesn't have one [s]yet[/s]). Sylvia is a short Cuban woman at five-one and is notable for her dyed white hair and never being far away from her [url=https://i.imgur.com/igp9qKz.png]guitar[/url] (it's her channeler!). She casts by playing her guitar.[/indent]

[b]Abstraction:[/B]
Adept - [i]Purple & Orange.[/i] Channeler: Her Electric Guitar.
[indent][b]Unbreakable Guitar:[/b] A passive spell that Sylvia has cast on her guitar, which makes it damn near impossible to break or destroy.

[b]Boomerang:[/b] Sylvia charges the guitar with a mixture of purple and orange luxes and launches it like a boomerang, spinning at incredibly high speeds. Then, even if she changed positions from when she previously threw the guitar, it returns to Sylvia.

[b]Boosting Riff:[/b] By playing her guitar, Sylvia can boost the abstractions of her allies nearby.

[b]Guitar Flight:[/b] Sylvia can fly on her guitar by sitting on it like a witch would ride a broom.

[b]Telekinesis:[/b] Sylvia can telekinetically manipulate the environment by playing the guitar.

[b]Portal-Creation:[/b] By playing a riff, Sylvia can create a portal to either the same dimension or a different one. She just needs to either be familiar with it, or have an idea, before she can create the portal.

[b]Crush:[/b] By playing a riff, Sylvia can telekinetically crush an object.

[b]Telekinetic-Wave:[/b] Sylvia's ultimate spell: she can play a mighty riff on her guitar; she creates a powerful wave of telekinetic energy that'll pound against the environment enough to send anything not nailed down flying.

[b]Flight-Granting:[/b] She can temporarily grant flight for up to half an hour by holding hands with someone. If [i]those[/i] people are also holding hands if someone, then they also get flight.

[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Elynn Pimm’s childhood was a strange mix of luxury and darkness, where wealth concealed the deep dysfunction of her family. Alan Pimm, a charismatic actor beloved by the public, ruled the household with manipulation and cruelty, creating a toxic environment between Elynn and her siblings. Emotional abuse was the norm, and the Pimm children quickly learned that love was just another tool for control. Even more disturbing was the family's secret indulgence in incestuous relationships, a taboo they embraced as part of their twisted dynamics. This dark, unspoken bond only deepened their loyalty to each other while isolating them from the outside world.

From a young age, Elynn showed a keen intellect, using her insight to understand power dynamics within her family. Though often overshadowed by her more flamboyant siblings, Elynn quietly studied the games of manipulation and control that defined the Pimm household. Magic fascinated her, but her Kindling Event was anything but natural, forcibly triggered by her father using an ancient artifact called the Eye of Reverie. This ring could induce a traumatic vision, pushing the wearer to confront their deepest fears to unlock their Lux. In a nightmarish hallucination, Elynn relived the twisted manipulation and cruelty of her childhood, culminating in a horrifying illusion where she was forced to murder her parents. The experience shattered her emotionally but unleashed her potential as an Adept. However, the trauma left deep scars, forever binding her to the darkness of her family’s legacy. For a time, Elynn hoped she might escape her lineage’s darkness by forging her path through magic. But the insidious nature of the Pimms - especially the incestuous bonds between her and her siblings - kept pulling her deeper into the family's corrupted legacy.

Eventually, Elynn realized that her parents were obstacles to her true ambition. Inspired by whispered rumors of the family’s connection to a long-forgotten cult in St. Portwell, Elynn began to see their deaths as a way to inherit their wealth and the ultimate power to reshape the city. With her siblings at her side, they plotted their parents' murder, seeing it as the final step in freeing themselves from any remaining restraints. The night they killed Alan and Grace was a chilling mix of calculated violence and emotional release, marking the moment Elynn fully embraced her role as the leader of the Pimm family.

After her parents' deaths, Elynn wasted no time asserting control over the family fortune and their standing within the Elite. Elynn Pimm's aspirations for the Elite extend beyond mere wealth and influence. While Blake views the organization as a way to gain power, Elynn sees it as a means to reshape the world around her according to her vision. She imagines the Elite as the largest Paranormal faction and as a ruling force dictating the balance of power in St. Portwell and [i]beyond.[/i] Her leadership style, far more calculated and ruthless than Blake's, is driven by her desire to turn the city into a playground of hedonism and excess, where the Elite reigns supreme. Elynn knows the organization's potential and plans to exploit it fully, transforming the faction into a reflection of her own ambition and moral decay.

Regarding Blake Schmidt, Elynn holds a mixture of disdain and strategic appreciation. She recognizes Blake’s incompetence and deluded sense of grandeur but also knows how to manipulate his ego for her gain. Blake’s obsession with magical power amuses Elynn—he is little more than a bumbling fool playing at greatness. However, his wealth, connections, and many artifacts make him a helpful pawn in her giant game. Elynn exploits Blake’s desperation for the Stygian Snake and indulges his leadership fantasies while quietly pulling the strings behind the scenes. To her, Blake is a means to an end, a tool she will discard once he outlives his usefulness.

Yet, she has a strange bond with Phillis Schmidt.

[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Chester Pimm is the aggressive counterpart to his sister Elynn's calculated manipulation. Raised in the same toxic environment of luxury, emotional abuse, and incestuous control, Chester quickly became the enforcer of the Pimm family. The deeply entwined familial relationships fostered loyalty and competition among the siblings, often manifesting in complex dynamics marked by rivalry and an unsettling intimacy. While Elynn mastered the subtleties of power through manipulation, Chester embraced the raw, physical aspect of control, using his presence and prowess to bend others to his will. He was feared and admired equally among his siblings, a towering figure who took pleasure in asserting his authority whenever necessary. This dynamic made Chester the protector of the Pimm family and the one most willing to get his hands dirty, whether in family matters or their rise within the Elite.

Chester’s role as the second in command of the Pimm family within the Elite is a natural extension of his upbringing. While Elynn handles the intricacies of strategy and manipulation, Chester ruthlessly executes their plans. He thrives in the more contentious aspects of the family’s dealings - dealing with enemies, keeping their followers in line, and ensuring that no one questions the Pimm family’s authority. As a man who understands power in its most direct form, Chester uses fear as his greatest weapon within the Elite and in the larger city of St. Portwell. His leadership style is straightforward: exert control by being the strongest in any room. Whether through physical intimidation or the sheer weight of his personality, Chester makes sure that those around him either fall in line or are removed from the equation entirely.

Chester’s loyalty to his family, particularly to Elynn, runs deep, though his respect for her comes from recognizing her as the only person capable of matching his thirst for power. While he trusts her vision, his temper and violent tendencies often threaten to destabilize the delicate balance she tries to maintain within the Elite. Chester views the Elite as a means to gain wealth and influence and as a tool for the Pimm family to assert dominance over the entire Paranormal world. To him, the Elite should be an iron-fisted organization, feared and respected by all. Chester’s brutal leadership style and Elynn’s cunning make the Pimm family formidable. Chester is more than willing to do whatever it takes to ensure their reign continues, whether through politics, violence, or a combination of both.

Outside the Elite, Chester’s ambitions reach toward a different form of control: political power. He is either running for the position by presenting himself as a man of the people. Chester has perfected the public persona of a strong leader who promises to restore order and prosperity to the city. He’s a charismatic figure to the public - rigid, unyielding, and decisive. His speeches are filled with rhetoric, promising to clean up crime, cut through the city's political gridlock, and bring back a sense of pride to St. Portwell. Behind this facade, however, lies the exact violent, power-hungry figure that dominates the Pimm household. Chester sees politics as another battlefield where force and intimidation are still the ultimate tools of control. Those who oppose him in his campaign or within the city’s political structure often face mysterious threats or become his victims.[/indent]

[indent]Rhea and May Pimm are the Pimm family's most feral members who embody chaos. They reveled in their wealth's abundance from a young age, fueled by an insatiable desire for pleasure and thrill. Their close bond—deepened by familial loyalty and an unsettling intimacy, only amplifies their wild energy. Rhea often acts on whims, reveling in the chaos of family dynamics, while May mirrors her sister's impulsive nature, making them wild cards in Elynn’s carefully orchestrated plans. Their reckless actions frequently lead them into dangerous situations, where the thrill of the hunt fuels their every move. Elynn skillfully exploits their ferocity, sending them into scenarios where their lack of restraint can be an asset. Yet, their instincts sometimes threaten to unravel Elynn's plans.

Within the Elite, Rhea and May serve as footsoldiers for Chester and Elynn, embodying the brutal enforcement of their family's will. Their willingness to engage in violence without hesitation makes them invaluable in maintaining the Pimm family's dominance. While Chester utilizes physical intimidation and strength, Rhea and May revel in the chaos.

Their talent for performing joint casts sets Rhea and May apart as hazardous assets. Their connection includes sibling loyalty, shared power, and peculiar family dynamics. When they combine their abilities, they unleash a force that is more than the sum of its parts, channeling their chaotic energy into devastating attacks. This synergy amplifies their already wild capabilities.

Elynn uses Rhea and May as pawns to execute her grander strategies while keeping them entertained and engaged in the chaos they crave. By assigning them tasks that allow their indulgent natures to thrive, they remain loyal to Elynn’s vision while satisfying their thirst for adrenaline. Their ability to create havoc becomes a tool in Elynn's arsenal, ensuring her plans remain unpredictable. The two girls are at the same height at five-nine and are skinny. They are so visually similar that they look like clones![/indent]

[b]15 | Colin Chase Pimm |  He/Him[/b][hr][i]"L-look, don't hurt me!"[/i][/center][/cell][cell]
[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Colin Pimm is the youngest son of Alan and Grace Pimm, a mere 15 years old and already deeply entrenched in the toxic legacy of his family's emotional and mental abuse. Growing up in a household where power and control dictate every interaction, his older siblings often push him around. Their relentless bullying has instilled in him a profound sense of inferiority, making it nearly impossible for him to stand up for himself or assert any form of independence.

Manipulated by his older sister, Elynn, Colin finds himself in a precarious position. Elynn, ever the strategist, recognizes his vulnerability and exploits it to further her ambitions. Colin has become one of Elynn's contingencies, coerced into performing her bidding under the guise of familial loyalty. She has forced him to adjoin with an extraordinary Apparition as a contingency plan, ensuring he is prepared to carry out a ruthless mission against Blake Schmidt and his family if needed. 

Colin's personality is marked by profound sadness and a yearning for approval that seems perpetually out of reach. He oscillates between moments of resignation and flickers of rebellion, often retreating into the shadows where he can avoid confrontation and reflect on his fractured existence. His adjoined Apparition serves as both a curse and a shield, granting him the power to enact Elynn's will while simultaneously amplifying the guilt and fear that plague him. Colin longs for freedom from the oppressive grip of his family - yet the chains of emotional abuse and manipulation bind him tightly. Colin stands at an impressive five-six and is somewhat overweight from the stress his family puts him through.[/indent]

[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]The most standout members of the Old Coven, merely because it is difficult, if not impossible, to discern Sage's gender. This was a mixture of their odd genetics and preference to hide their gender (Nobody knows what's between Sage's legs. Nobody). They stand at six-four, are very skinny, and lack any curves but have a feminine voice, hair, and facial shape. They come from the Pimm family, one of the children of the famous actor Alan Pimm. Though they were not technically born into the family, they were instead the product of an affair with one of Alan's co-stars. Alan tried to keep Sage's existence a secret, but once it came out, he was slammed with accusations of power imbalance. Sage was introduced to the rest of the Pimm family, not with precisely open arms. They were the family's black sheep, as Alan always gave Sage the cold shoulder, and Sage had some morals, unlike the rest of the spoiled Pimm family. 

Sage didn't precisely like them either, so they primarily stayed with their mother as they felt as if they had a heart. However, the Stygian Snake began its rampage across St. Portwell, and unfortunately, Sage was one of its many victims. It killed her, Sage survived but underwent their Kindling Event and fled into the night (or mayb it spared them). It didn't take them long to run into the Old Coven, and Sage found their wealthy peers within the Old Coven, and they were the de facto leader of the "Rich Kids." They were the most well-liked among them and the most reasonable, who attempted to discuss the conflicts their clique [s]started[/s] got into. Even after the Stygian Snake was defeated and everyone else saved for them and Trisha, they attempted to mediate all the arguments and keep the Coven together. They were more family than their family, after all! 

Alas, the Old Coven broke up, and Sage was among the last to leave, attempting to lead the Coven themselves for a stint! They had no choice but to return to the Pimm Family and were miserable with them, ultimately deciding to cut ties when they turned eighteen and left to live among the "middle class." Sage is currently in college, seeking to gain a degree in nursing, and they work themselves to death volunteering at various homeless and animal shelters.

Then Sage heard that their siblings killed Alan Pimm, and her siblings Ellyn and Chester Pimm took over the family fortune. Sage returned to confront their family, and it ended with them getting severed, nearly dead, and leaving with some terrible memories...

When Auri put out the call, while Sage wanted to rejoin, they were embarrassed about not having magic anymore so they just pretended they never got Auri's message.[/indent]

[indent]Sage was originally a Red, Green, Yellow, and Gold Adept that used their various Luxes as a flex role within the Old Coven. However, recently, they got severed after a faithful confrontation with their siblings...[/indent][/cell][/row][/table][/hider]
