Magnus stands at 5 foot 9 and is lean muscled. He is very much into lavish styles but can wear casual clothing when he really wants to or has to. His eyes are a honey color and where the weres have their eyes he has his. He can flash his eyes to show that he isn't human. They appear gold in color with the slits of a snake. His eyes have the slight slanting of Asian heritage. His hair is black and often reminds people of an oil slick with how dark it is and how it appears to have almost a blueish tint to it.

Personal Info
*Sassy*Honest*Loyal*Confident* Magnus is not one to hide away. He is one to make jokes yet is brutally honest. If you can't handle it it's not his problem after all you asked no? However, those he is loyal to he is fiercely loyal. He would stitch that person up and then tell them how stupid whatever they did was and that would be a sign of caring from him. He does seem a bit closed off though. He knows he'll be around for a long time and that has seemed to prevent him from going beyond friendship like love. Though it can be hard to love someone who is fully willing to tell you whatever you are thinking of doing is a dumb idea. He despises liars and is horribly offended at even the smallest lie.
Likes: +Animals +honesty +martinis +making an entrance
Dislikes: -Liars -Hunters -Hypocrites
Hobbies: Magnus likes to practice his runes in his spare time. He also likes to play the paino and go people watching. Sometimes the mall or the library. It's a weird hobby but apparently people are interesting to him. Bars are a favorite spot because drunks are amusing.
Strengths: Underestimated: Magnus seems small and really unable to lift much, but leans muscle is deceiving. He can lift 190 pounds without breaking a sweat. Or even messing up his hair. Nimble: Magnus is capable of skills such as parkour Runes: Magnus is an expert with runes and can create some that are barely visible. Speed: by no means is he as fast as a were, but he seems able to go quick quickly. Possibly an ability given for a ritual.
Weaknesses: Killable: Magnus can be killed a bit easier then something like a werewolf. He makes up for that by being as hard to kill as possible. Cryptic: Magnus has a lot of knowledge in his brain, but sometimes he likes to give information in a cryptic way. This can be a weakness because the person he is trying to help figures it out too late. Though this could be an advantage if he's cryptic with a bad person.
Brief bio: Magnus can't remember much about his parents. Not just because he was born so long ago, but because they were killed by a werecat. He was taken in by a group of Druid and raised with the ways of their people. Though he always but an eccentric touch to it. At the age of 18 he was considered old enough to find a were pack of his own to advise and so was unleashed upon the world.
He became aligned with a pack of were dingos first. An experience that was interesting for all involved. He was 20 at the time and clearly had to prove himself. An opportunity came when one of the pups was bit by a venomous snake. She was dieing and acting fast Magnus performed a ritual. One involving a snake and misltoe. A very old ritual that resulted in the pup healing thanks to the ritual being performed on his nemeton at the time. The pup was fine Magnus was now trusted all seemed well. He ended up falling for the pup and the two were happy...she had imprinted after all.
A few years later the were dingo pack had been hunted down and the entire pack was killed. Magnus was severely wounded and ended up trying to save his love and himself. The nemeton was not as powerful as the one in klemith falls and his love did not make it...Magnus however did. His loves energy healed him and granted him some special abilities since he attempted to use a snake as a sort of filter.He gained acidic blood and healing that day.
He does not talk about that event and basically floated through the rest of the years. That is until he aligned himself with Alpha of the pack of the falls. He finds them incredibly intriguing and enjoys the area. Even taking up the job under the Seraphina as a veterinarian.
Druid Information
Magnus being a Druid has his specialities in runes and rituals. Some can be healing while others will severely damage. No need to write: Magnus is at the point where he doesn't need to physically carve the surface for his runes. Now he can think the rune in his mind and swipe his hand over it leaving behind the desired rune. He can not do this all the time though as this does require a bit of energy for each one and when he does so his eyes shift. Animal scout: he is able to see what an animal of choice sees for a short amount of time Poisonous: his blood is deadly thanks to the ritual from long ago. If his blood were to get into someone's blood stream or ingested it could do some real damage. Healing: Magnus has a bit of healing but only enough to speed up a process. A gun shot to the heart or other fatal location would effectivly kill him. The sight: Magnus can see ones true self when he wants to. For the weres he can see their eyes and can tell they aren't human. Dingos and wolves are hard to tell apart because the eyes are similar. The rest are fairly easy for him. Magic: in exchange for blood given to soil or a nemeton Magnus posses a bit of magic. Nothing close to a witch, but it's enough for defense.

He has been alive along enough to know more about dhampirs than the mere legends of them considering how rare they are. he has got some interesting abilities and traits. not sure how and encounter would go between him and Cleo.
Name: Linus Teague-Winslet (Though this is likely some sort of alias) Nicknames: Doesn't particularly like nicknames. Gender: Male Species: Witch Occupation: Student Place Of Origin: Inverness, Scotland Age: Unclear. If asked, he claims to be 13, but he looks 10. Date Of Birth: Again, nobody really knows for sure. Even he won't answer this. Scent: Pencil shavings and cigarettes. Appearance - Human
Relationship Information
Relationship Status: Single, naturally. Though his real age isn't known, he looks much too young to be in serious romantic/sexual relationships. Sexuality: Doesn't know, really. Partner: Nobody. Father: Unknown, likely deceased. Mother: Unknown, likely deceased. Siblings: If he ever had any, they're likely deceased. Pet/s: None, though he enjoys the company of the local stray cats. Other: None.
Linus is a rotten little scoundrel of a street rat if there ever was one. Smug, dishonest and certainly not above committing crimes to keep ahead, one would think he'd get annoying very quickly. But as much as he's morally skewed, he cares for those who have less than him and is often seen sharing his stolen property with the local homeless people, feeding stray cats and offering help to whoever asks. So while he may be little more than a local nuisance, he's not an entirely bad person.
He's a very impulsive kid, and seems to be very sensitive and prone to overreacting emotionally. He's also got a pretty bad nicotine addiction, indicating that his problems with self control are nothing new.
Despite this, he's actually extremely clever for... whatever age he is, evidenced by his ability to thrive in such an unforgiving environment for such a long period of time. Though he's probably never attended school, he fluently speaks two languages and is very literate for a kid.
His refusal to just go into state foster care indicates that he has a lot of pride and would rather die alone and starving than admit defeat and allow the government to help him. This is an odd mindset for someone who looks so young to have, to say the least. He also may not be as morally skewed as all that, really. Though he seems completely okay with tormenting the rich, he'd never commit a crime against someone weaker than himself.
So, in short, he's got some serious issues, but some innate good nature shines through that. Wherever he goes in life, he's probably got a lot ahead of him.
| Likes & Dislikes |
✔ Stealing ✔ Milk ✔ Practical Jokes ✔ Smoking (Though he never seems to suffer any changes to his outward appearance for it. His lungs, however, are quite damaged by his little habit) ✔ Candy ✘ Loud, Sudden or High-Pitched Noises ✘ Losing ✘ Being Perceived as Childish ✘ Pollen (Allergic) ✘ Shellfish (Allergic)
Hobbies: He has a bit of a problem with stealing. He doesn't even really need most of the stuff he steals, he just does it for shits and giggles at this point. He also enjoys drawing, making hand puppets, climbing around on trees and rooftops, playing with stray cats and exploring.
Strengths: ♦ Courageous ♦ Crafty and Street-Smart ♦ Bilingual (English and French
Weaknesses: ♦ Physically Weak (On top of being small and skinny, Linus is epileptic, has asthma, several allergies and poor stamina, and also just generally has a weak immune system) ♦ Hydrophobic ♦ Selfish ♦ Kleptomaniac
History: Almost nothing is known about where Linus Teague-Winslet actually came from. He lives in the streets most of the time, occasionally staying the night in other peoples' attics and basements when the weather is bad enough. Though on several occasions people have attempted to put him in a State Ward, he's always gone the next day, so the authorities really only bother chasing after him if he's stolen something they want back.
Given that his name is likely an alias, it's almost impossible to tell who his parents were or where he's from. He speaks with a strong Scottish accent, but there's always the possibility that he's faking it.
Though he's more friendly and helpful than most people give him credit for, he has no friends and if he weren't so street smart, he'd likely be rotting away figuratively in a state ward or rotting away literally in some back alley somewhere. He's on his own and whatever is in his past, it's a well kept secret.
Witch Information
I'm not really sure what goes here... just the stuff from the original post?
The Other
For whatever reason, Linus always carries a dented, tarnished brass compass with him. The thing looks centuries old and probably doesn't even work any more, but it seems to hold some sentimental value to the kid.

"I find that if you offer one hand with a smile and use the other to hide a knife behind your back, that knife is usually what you use first." ~ Samael Douma.
“They hunt us, all of us. so don't think you are any more special than the next.” ☠ Enemies Samael is the youngest son of Israfiel. His father is an old angel and has lived for years, helping his family survive the hunts. He has an authoritative outlook on life and treats his family as a military unit. His 3 older sons fall in line, but Samael has always been a character. Israfiel hates the disobedience that comes from his youngest child so out of "love" he ripped his wings out of his back and hid them somewhere in America and then kicked Samael out, saying he "needed to learn the hard way". They have not spoken since he was 15 and Samel has a hate for his father, one that can be only sated by his wings.
“You really have payed a great price for your actions.” ⚜ Respects Barchiel is the oldest of the Douma brothers and the only one who cared to raise a hand while Samael lost his wings. His tiny outburst cost him an eye, but he does not regret sticking up for his younger sibling. Barchiel was the first to deal with his fathers controlling madness and felt hopeful that his baby brother would break the norm in the family to fall in line but that cost his brother his wings. Barchiel now lives in Seattle on his own, but visits Samael from time to time.
“I hate your guts, but you have a nice ass.” ⚤ Significant Other (Former) Abraham found Samael on the street right after he lost his wings, and took him in. The werecat had only meant to keep him until he healed but ended up growing attracted to Samael and dating him. The had a nice relationship until Samael and Abraham turned 18 and the angel disappeared.

Personality: ♦ Outspoken ♦ Always looking out for himself ♦ Smart-ass ♦ Flirty ♦ Social Butterfly ♦ Does not Trust Easy ♦ Secretly Cares For Others ♦
You ever meet the jock playboy that goes to every party and has a very questionable reputation, that is Samael. Before losing his wings, he was the life of the party always nice and vibrant, and like any teen he had a rebellious streak. But afterwards he still had his signature smile but with a dark purpose behind it. He can come off as flirty and a smooth talker but honestly he might just be using you for his owns gains of survival. Some might see him as a inconsiderate jerk and you would be right, he can be a downright dick who only cares about himself.
He does have a nice side, if you can get him to trust you then he will be loyal as a dog. He does not trust easy and is a good judge of character. To Samael truth lies in reason, and every man has his truth. He only trust those men who's truth is their life, but everyone else, even if they don't know it, has some kind of end game.
He is very smart, street or otherwise. He had to learn quick about the big bad world out there so he became a good judge of when people are lying and when they are telling the truth. He has a sense for danger and hates to take unnecessary risk. If you are that person to fall when the killer is right behind you don't expect Samael to turn around and help you up. Samael is not cold or heartless, he has some morals, like not hitting kids or women (unless they hit first). But mostly he lives by "don't start nun won't be nun."
Samael is very attractive, and has learned how to use his looks and wit on men and women. Under all of the sex, appeal and bad boy edgy-ness there is a pat of him that longs to be reunited with his wings, a part that longs to return to the light and be whole once again, but that is a dream that will not be realized anytime soon, and he knows that. That thought alone is what drives him to stay the way he is.
Likes: ✔ Cats (they ward off evil spirits) ✔ Reading ✔ Moonlit walks ✔ Foody (he loves to eat) ✔ Cars ✔ Parties and drinking ✔ Swimming
Dislikes: ✘ Being touched on his back (his scars have not fully healed) ✘ Taking unnecessary risk ✘ Supernaturals in general (including hunters) ✘ Bible-thumpers, goody two shoes, and people who think they can't get their hands dirty.
Hobbies: Samael loves to read, it is one of his favorite pastimes, for in a book he can find true truth about a situation no matter how fake the book is. He loves the smell of books and if he could he would live in a library. He also likes to play sports and work out.
Strengths: ⚜ Influential: He has a way with words and most of the time he can influence humans and supernaturals just by appealing to their desires. This appeal is a simple push in the right direction that drives them to do things that they really want. ⚜ Fighter: His time with a werecat warrior has taught him a lot. Despite his fragile state he learned how to use his natural survival instinct to help him in a fight. He learned how to shoot a gun and fight with a knife. ⚜ Wingless: The loss of his wings has hurt him and given him something in return. When he lost his wings it was like he lost a majority of his humanity and traded it to something different. ⚜ Exceptional Beauty: Angels a born with a natural beauty that attracts all and draws them like a moth to the flame. He is no different, but instead of a graceful attraction, he has a bad boy edge, his beauty comes from a darker place, he learned how to use it to his advantage when he is trying to manipulate others.
Weaknesses: ☠ Exceptional Beauty: Angels a born with a natural beauty that attracts all and draws them like a moth to the flame. He is no different, but instead of a graceful attraction, he has a bad boy edge, his beauty comes from a darker place. This is another thing that attracts the wrong attention, when he walks in a room everyone knows he's there and this is where the disadvantage comes in. ☠ Aura of Light/ Smell- Samael has a scent of burning apple and cherry-wood, like something fresh in a fireplace. This scent attracts other supernaturals and makes him easy to spot. His aura is no longer light but now a dark silhouette. It is very easy to sense when he enters the room and his aura can he seen by most. ☠ Physical Weakness- born an angel, Samael is born weaker than most, he was not meant to be chased around and hunted, and doing most physical activities is harsher on him than most. Even though he played sports, and learned how to defend himself the fatigue is still there and recovery is a bitch.
Brief Biography: Samael Kenneth Douma is the last son of the Douma line. He is the youngest and was born by mistake. His childhood was filled with rules and regulations, but Samael was always one to break them and never afraid to speak his mind, this caused him to become a "brat" (as his brothers called him) at an early age. His father kept his family close and on the move, never staying in one place for more than a year and always changing what is needed to make sure they stayed safe. His father is a man of discipline and structure, he was the type who felt like he always knew what was best and if you went against him there would be hell to pay.
As you might have guess this caused great friction between Samael and Israfiel. When he was younger he would do stupid things and get equal punishments, but as he got older he would become more and more bold, doing things that jeopardized his family. Now Barchiel would always be the one to defend him, saying that Samael was just "acting-out" but in truth his father was not having any of it. Every rule the man set Samael would break it just because, his other two brothers hated him, his mother did not care for his existence, but Barchiel was the last one who cared. From the age of 10-15 they moved from city to city every three months because of Samael, and during his 15th year he hit the last straw. He got into a car accident and two humans died but he survived. His father immediately moved them from Arizona to California and once they arrived he gave Samael his last punishment.
He had Abbadon and Hamon bring him out and tie him up. The the 3 of them beat him senseless and then at the stroke of midnight his father ripped his wings off by force and branded his scars close with a hot poker. Barchiel tried to protest but the man slashed him with a knife and cut one of his eyes blinding him.
The next day he woke up to his mother cat licking his wounds and no wings in sight. His father left him a note telling him that he would keep his wings in a "safe space" and that when the time was right he would give them back, and that Samael should "take time to learn his lesson on his own, the hard way."
Soon after he was hurt and humiliated Samael moved north to San Francisco, where he was homeless for a year and during that time he teamed up with a German werecat named Abraham Rothberg. The two started as friends but became lovers and created ruin and chaos along with others in the Golden Gate City. Samael and Abraham where the same age and born on the same day, so when they turned 18 Samael was attacked by hunters trying to capture him, and they almost did, but he ran and kept going until he a reached Klamath Falls, Oregon. He found this little jewel and decided to stay here for the next 6 years living as bartender and not causing as much trouble as he would like so those hunters can't pick up his trail again.
Angel Abilities: To be written.
Other: Samael's scars have yet to heal due to the fact that his wings have not been burned or destroyed. So the scars are still red and very sensitive, and in the right conditions can even begin to bleed and would need to be sown closed. He is very protective of his back and does not like to be touched there. He can deal with a light pat on the back or a hug but nothing for to long or to hard.
Samael has only trusted 2 people in his life, his brother and his ex, with that in mind his list of friends is short and to gain his trust and friendship is one hard thing to come by, but when you get it it stays until you ruin it. He is not one to double cross, because he can adn will do everyhting in his powers to get you back.
When he is not working he can he found reading a book in his home or out and about on the town. A common face to the towns people, he is seen as a happy man but honestly he is just waiting it to go to hell so that he can skip town.
Lyrics: Baby, do you understand me now Sometimes I feel a little mad Well don't you know that no-one alive Can always be an angel When things go wrong I seem to be bad
I'm just a soul who's intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree With a joy that's hard to hide And sometimes it seems that All I have to do is worry And then you're bound to see my other side
I'm just a soul who's intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
If I seem edgy, I want you to know That I never mean to take it out on you Life has it's problems and I get my share And that's one thing I never mean to do...
I like the character. However, I do have a couple of questions
If he is a kid, nothing would stop care serivces from taking him in-they aren't going to let a thirteen year old roam the streets. So did he run from care?
um. Actually. Thats the only question.
Given that he is a young witch, he wouldn't have many skills just yet, so the witches skill section probably doesn't need to be done-but rather developed throughout the roleplay.
And, well, if Callie finds him, she won't let him go. She's not going to let a kid, let alone a witch child, be on the streets, or alone, when they could get themselves killed messing with witch craft

Several times. At this point he'd be going to Juvy if they ever caught him again, and I get the feeling that this city has more pressing problems with crime than a kid on his own who occasionally steals stuff.

Yeah. but Callie is a witch.She could probably contain him XD
"You're never really alone unless you choose to be." ~ Alexis Farreacher
General Information
Name: Alexis Charlotte Farreacher Nicknames: Alexis, Char, Wicca (a more recent nickname. One more used to insult her) Gender: Female Species: Witch (Warlock, judging from the skills she has) Occupation: Highschool Student, Senior Place of Origin: Boulder Heights, Colerado, USA. Age: 18 Date of birth: 15th of May
Appearance
Description: Alexis has always been somewhat self-conscious about how she looks. Standing a not so impressive 5'6" she can easily be ignored by simply looking over her. She very much looks like the average girl. Long, brown hair, fair skin and chocolate eyes with just a hint of hazzle in them. Alexis is neither muscular nor fat but blessed enough to simply look OK.
Her dress code can vary from time to time. Like most girls, sometimes she really just wants to look beautiful and she'll use make-up (not too much) to do so. However, most of the time she chooses for comfort and functionality over image. So she's more often seen in a baggy hoodie and a comfortable pair of jeans than a top and skirt.
As of recent she also choose to wear at least one necklace with some weird stones (moonstone, sunstone, topaz, tiger-eye, etc) in them. While also carrying a much larger purse often filled with wooden carve-outs, strange notes and drawings and some carved stones. One time though, she brought a small knife but she got in trouble for that so she no longer takes it with her.
Relationship information
Relationship status: Single Sexuality: Hetero Partner: None Extra information: She's a romantic in denial. So far she believes that, because she managed so far, she doesn't really need anyone in her life. Though deep down she knows she wants nothing more than have someone who doesn't make her feel so alone.
Pets: She adopted a young, stray black cat and called him Sabbath. The kitten only responds to that name now and even then he rarely responds ever to her. Still, there seems to be a special connection between the two. As whenever Alexis thinks she needs him (as a pillow to cry in for example) he'll appear out of nowhere (not literally out of nowhere. He'll just suddenly walk through the door after being gone for an entire day).
Father: Liam Farreacher Mother: Elizabeth Stoneridge Sibblings: None
Personal information
♦ Caring ♦ Closed off ♦ Hard working ♦ Understanding ♦ Power hungry ♦ Personality:Alexis used to be a cheerful, happy, trusting girl with a smile as bright as the sun. But fate is a vicious mistress and puberty a cruel time. Alexis got bullied a lot the previous year. Her boyfriend cheating on her was the drop. In the end it changed her. She withdrew from the world. She became silent and walled off from others. And she is like that to this day. That is to say, shielded from everyone. She’ll smile and say thanks. Or have small talks if you insist. Hell, she’ll even talk and listen to you. But never expect her to open up to you. It may happen, but it will take time and chance.
All this makes Alexis a lonely girl. She craves what she fears: intimacy, trust and friendship. What happened a year ago broke her to the core and now she thinks that’s the only thing that could be coming for her. But she’s only human and wants to befriend and love people. So it could happen, that once in a red moon, she herself reaches out to someone. Just to talk. It may not mean a lot to that person but to her it means the world.
Despite being lonely and having been bullied, there is still good in Alexis. She’ll help anyone who asks. What kind of help you need doesn’t really matter. A shoulder to cry on? Fine for her. Help with a course? She’ll be there. Need to move a bed? She’ll offer her help (though she’s not that physically strong).
Recently, though, a “darkness” has been growing inside of her. The bullying left its mark. Now, with magic, she discovered she’s more powerful than she could ever had dared to imagine. So far she hasn’t acted out (with magic or otherwise). But there is that glimmer of something fiery in her eyes sometimes.

Strenghts Her grandmother's grimoire Pale Magic gift Blood Magic gift (unknown) Determination
Weakness Can't really fight Closes herself from others Often just "vanishes" Holds grudges Too curious
Biography Alexis' story begins before her birth. It started with an error made by her grandmother. The witch was cast out of her coven. Vengeance would be her and she started dabbling with other sources of power than the leylines. The woman put her entire fortune into the research of both Pale Light magic but even more so in the dangerous art of Blood Magic. An art perfected by both the Viking seers and Native American shamans. Her research was fruitful as she gathered more and more power. Eventually cursing the witches coven that cast her out.
It turned out to be a foolish endeavor. The witches lifted the curse within a year. They called upon ancient pacts they had with the werewolves and their druid and gave Anna a choice. Either she used her power to curse herself and her newborn son. Robbing herself and him of the ancestral art. Or they would kill her and cast the curse on her child themselves. Anna took the ultimatum and cursed herself and her child. The Grimoire forever closed itself to her and him. She was exiled from the town and went to Klamath Falls.
Her son grew up to be Liam Farreacher. However, soon fate took a turn for the worse. Anna did not approve of Elizabeth Stoneridge. Mostly because she wasn't a witch who could uplift the curse from her family. But she kept that reason silent and hidden under various others. Liam left Klamath Falls and went to Boulder Heights were he became a history teacher at the local Highschool. There Alexis was born.
Alexis was not cursed like her father. However, the curse that rested on her father and grandmother did influence her. The arts could never fully touch her nor could she control them. From time to time she had incredibly clear dreams that turned out to be true a few years later. Still, despite this, Alexis lived a happy childhood. Until she turned 15. On that night she had another clear dream of her boyfriend cheating. She confronted him sheepishly, thinking it was just a stupid dream. He confessed and it broke Alexis.
Not much later her grandmother died. With her dad as a history teacher and her mom being a nurse, they never had much. However, Anna had left the house to them. They chose to return as the house was paid off already.
When they moved and the inheritance came through, Anna left her Grimoire to Alexis. Hoping that the curse would falter with her death. It did and Alexis began to read the book for nights. At first to no avail. The curse still lingered on her father. But slowly its power could no longer cover Alexis. On her 17th birthday, she summoned her first gust of wind. From then on, she got really into Wiccan and such. Often visiting the Cedar Ash Inn's Wiccan shop. Something she gets bullied about to this day. She also often visits Evan's Bookshop Cafe to buy her strange books and read there.
Witch abilities
The Grimoire
The Grimoire is a powerful but dormant object of magic. When Anna, Alexis' grandmother, cast the curse upon herself she also sealed away all the secrets of her Grimoire. Only when Alexis' hand touches the cover did it start to "awaken". But still not fully. It teaches Alexis the basics of magic (like Earth Magic and Leyline magic). To others it will just open and reveal itself as an unwritten book. But when Alexis reads, the ink literally appear on the pages. The opposite also holds true. Whatever question Alexis writes down into the book get answered. She herself can also write entire pages. The ink will vanish from the page but the book will forever remember it.
A lesser function of the Grimoire is that it also acts as a bestiary. But since it got sealed, it must awaken those pages. Only the blood of the creature in question will betray its secrets (only a drop is required though).
Her abilities
Spellcasting The bread & butter of every witch (or warlock). The book taught her several ways of casting spells. Ranging from incantations to the usage of runes. Despite deep study and many hours of study Alexis can still only manage the most basic of spells.
Channeling An extensive subject within the book. Alexis' ability to channel is much more develop than her spellcasting (a fact other witches might find ironic?). However, this because the book's first few paragraphs about Pale Light magic were about this very subject. As to use Pale Light over day, it requires to be siphoned into and channeled out of certain minerals, crystals or gems.
Divination An unforeseen side-effect of the Pale Light magic her grandmother used. It clings to the blood. As the generations continued the curse weakened and the blood revealed its ancestral power in the form of divination. However, this form of magic is so far untrained or uncontrolled and only ever manifests itself in dreams. It also follows an ancient Pale Light witch's saying: "The dark moon reveals the new. The full moon enlightens the past." Meaning that the closer you get to the new moon, the greater the chance and the clarity of future divination dreams are. While during the full moon the past can be laid bare.
The Grimoire certainly hold the capacity to teach her how to perform divination. However, it considers this something witches only need to learn several years later. Thus it stays mute on the subject. Despite Alexis' requests.
Potion brewing Another major branch of witchery that the Grimoire is trying to teach Alexis. Ironically it quotes: "As such, I don't expect many of you to appreciate the subtle science and exact art that is potion-making. However, for those select few who possess, the predisposition I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses. I can tell you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even put a stopper in death." by the fictional character: Severus Snape. It's true, though. But the Grimoire refuses to teach the next potion until Alexis drops a drop of the potion the book is teaching her. Which is a bit of a problem considering Alexis her herbology is rather lacking. So she often gets stuck on potions.
Pale casting Pale casting deviates from normal casting in several ways. For one, it obviously can only be used with the power from the moon's rays. It's also strangely unpredictable. Using Pale Casting is more like entering a conversation with magic rather than passing it on commands. For this very reason one could say that Leyline magic should be favored over Pale Casting.
It's not entirely true that one or the other version is stronger or weaker. Pale Magic seeps deeper into the blood and bones. Often binding with their user. Seasoned Pale Casters have nothing to fear at night. For they know the moon's light will protect and guide them. But at the same time, they know they cannot command it to do their bidding.
With her grandmother being a Pale Caster, Alexis still holds a faint gift of that in her blood. The moon hasn't forgotten and Alexis certainly holds a talent for Pale Casting.
Blood chanter Those who can use the power drawn from blood held many names. One of them is Blood Chanter. Blood Chanters can brew potions from blood or draw runes with them. Blood Magic is both powerful and corruptive. It offers great power but for a terrible price. Even though the blood can be drawn from some other source than the caster, it still corrupts their blood.
Alexis has no clue what blood magic is. The book has not yet deemed her powerful enough to teach it. But she certainly has a gift for it and the Grimoire holds the knowledge to teach her.
Charm crafting Eath magic uses plants and animals to use the magic of the lines. Most witches would be taught on how to use plants to keep the magic pure and light. However, the Grimoire was written by witches (not just Anna, but previous Farreacher witches) with a thirst for power. They've always forsaken the dogma and teachings in favor of experimentation. The Grimoire holds no difference between using plant materials like wood and leaves or bones and skin of animals. It teaches Alexis how to make certain objects (like a small totem or carved bones) that can hold magic charms.
So far Alexis is getting quite good at making things. Over the year her room has transformed into a bit of a "workshop". With wood sculpting tools everywhere around (much to the dismay of her mom). The bones she gathers and cleans she still keeps hidden from her parents. Her grandmother's Grimoire is now starting to delve deeper into the magic of Charm Crafting.

Nine Lashes - Anthem of the lonely A heart made of stone callous and bone Fracture and tear it out to let it go And to think I called it my own And I would have never though the pain could grow
So I'll break it knowing what you said The pain is what you make it sadly you are so mistaken I will take you with a grain and step into the changes Throw away the empty heart
Right now Never want to leave this place And right now see it in a different way So right now even if you take me on
I'll stand, the lonely Stand, the lonely
Avenged Sevenfold - Shepherd of Fire Lets take a moment and break the ice So my intentions are known See I pity in watching you suffer I know the feeling of feeling of being damned alone I got a storybook of my own

Well I can promise you paradise No need to serve on your knees And when you're lost in the darkest of hours Take a moment and tell me who you see Won't tell ya who not to be

Strengths and Weaknesses Strengths
• Excellent swimmer and runner due to his incredibly powerful legs. Being a Siren and having the ability to transform your lower body into a tail brings quite a bit of muscle to your lower body. • Vocal persuasion is typical of the Siren species, and Sebastian doesn't lack in that department. His voice is both seductive and terrifying, depending on if he's singing or screaming. • Communicating with aquatic animals is an ability that Sebastian has invested a great amount of time into, and it has paid off quite well. • As a Siren, Sebastian can control water to a limited extent; He isn't a waterbender by any means, however in large bodies of water he can manipulate the currents and waves to his liking.
Weaknesses
• Sebastian's family is a tentative subject. He's overly protective, albeit distant, with his father, and his deceased mother is certainly a trigger. • Heat is a great weakness to Sebastian. Dehydration and scalding weather will disorient him far more than others, however that isn't a typical concern in the cool region of Oregon. • Sebastian is still just a kid with no other Siren's to teach him how to master his abilities, or his spot on the supernatural food chain. His mother bequeathed him a full Siren heritage, however she passed for unknown reasons. • Sebastian is incredibly impulsive and very action oriented; he's easily tempted, angered, and seduced.
Sebastian was born in the cold months as an only child. Sebastian grew up quickly due to his parents unstable marriage in his early years. Events such as alcoholism and verbal abuse slowly became more commonplace in the Monroe household, until eventually Sebastian came to expect it. After living in a troubled household for a few years by himself, Sebastian soon began to distance himself from his parents. By the time he was seven, his mother perished, found mauled in the woods by the lake. It was deemed as a mauling by some kind of wild animal, perhaps a wild cat, however Sebastian secretly thought she perished at the hands of another supernatural. Sebastian's father sunk into alcoholism and became callous towards his son, however he never stopped caring about him. Sebastian began spending more time with friends after school as he grew up, joining the swim team, running track, anything to escape his father. He's never truly in danger at home, however it was usually unpleasant. Sebastian's supernatural heritage was explained to him by his mother since a young age, and he was taught to guard that secret with his life. After his mother passed, he began practicing his Siren abilities, frequently spending time in the lake to learn to morph his own body. He currently attends the local high school in his senior year.
Siren Abilities
Seductive Voice
Like all Sirens, Sebastian's singing voice can seduce any creature, be it natural, supernatural, or some mix of the two. He is still learning to control it, and as such cannot truly control anyone. He can merely influence them, but strong minded individuals can most certainly resist. Powerful Weres, such as Alphas, are rarely affected by his voice at all.
Screeching
Sebastian's screams cause inset dread and nausea in those that hear them. His voice is powerful enough to be heard for miles around, and it can have physical affects on his nearby surroundings, such as shattering glass and damaging ear drums.
Distant Singing
Some Sirens are able to communicate with others of their kind over great distances, similar to Banshees. Sebastian is unaware his race is able to do this, seeing as he is the only Siren aware of his true nature in his town.
Shapeshifting
Sebastian can create gills along his neck and chest, as well as transform his lower body into a scaled, finned tail. He is able to see well underwater when he is in his Siren form. While he is in his Siren form, he can manipulate the currents and waves of any large body of water he is near.
Aquatic Communication
Sirens are able to converse with aquatic creatures, such as fish. While fish aren't the most intelligent creatures, they can follow basic commands and inform him of recent occurrences. Amphibians can be communicated with to some extent, however it's like trying to communicate with a person who speaks every other word in Swedish.
Other
Sebastian is very aggressive and temperamental. Intense physical violence will either cause him to go into a panic attack or fight back with incredible rage.
He is still young and uncertain about the supernatural world. His abilities are limited and he is nervous around other supernaturals to say the least. He is able to sense nearby supernatural creatures, however he in unable to pinpoint who it is or what they are.
Deep down, he believes in a cruel, brutal world of kill or be killed, however he does his best to mask that belief with a cheery heart and bubbly spirit. He lives his life in the now, without real regard to the consequences. He's always willing to get into trouble and his heart is set on instant gratification.
Theme Song
Hand of God by Jon Bellion
My head spins and I've been sipping I've been sipping, I've been sipping lately All my sins, I've been tripping, I've been tripping, my God
Brand new life, I've been looking I've been looking, I've been looking lately All these nights, they've been cooking They've been cooking me raw
I am just a man, I am just a man Who lusts, gives, tries Sometimes I lose my way
Tears at a funeral, tears at a funeral, I might break Angry at all the things, angry at all the things I can't change When you're lost in the universe, lost in the universe Don't lose faith My mother says, "Your whole life's in the hand of God" Nothing has changed, he is the same
"Your whole life's in the hand of God" Nothing has changed, he is the same "Your whole life's in the hand of God" Nothing has changed, he is the same
