Chapter One: Kindred

1.1 INTO THE OUTSIDE

---

During a normal night in Araminta; a massive beam of purple light appeared out of nowhere and summoned a group of people into another world known as the Outside. Everything seems well until night falls and they are attacked by a horde of monsters. Eventually, they were saved by the timely arrival of a girl named Brianna Grier - who seemed to know all about the Outside. Two days later and the supernatural weirdness is still ongoing and everyone is looking for answers. Answers that only Brianna can answer.

Welcome to Araminta, Pennslyvania, a small city in the northernmost parts of the state. It's surrounded by miles upon miles of farmland, and it's stuck in between more important places. It has some tourist attractions, but the main thing that brings people in is that it's an idyllic suburban community. People move in for peace and quiet and a break from the big city life. However, something changed in the world that awakened a power that should have, by all means, remained asleep. Some call it magic, but others call it something more than magic. This means the rise of dreams, nightmares, and monsters made real. However, there is something deeply wrong in the town of Araminta. Somebody has prodded a power, some kind of force, that should not have been meddled with and strange things have begun. Portals into other worlds have appeared letting in monsters and strangers that have no place in this world. This has begun a whole new slew of problems linked to another world known as the Outside that is a twisted version of Araminta and inside of it lies the Witch, a being that seems to be the root of this. However, a group of Extra-Normal individuals has teamed up to stop the Witch.

OVERVIEW

---

Welcome to Recollections: The Fourth Seal. The first spin-off (and sort of sequel) to Vivid Recollections and the second RP in the Recollections Universe. As the opening paragraph explained, it takes place in Araminta Pennslyvania, a nice quaint city that normally has nothing special. However, everything is not what it seems. The supernatural has touched this town and strange occurrences are appearing all over Araminta as the lines between normal and the supernatural become one and the same. The main focus of the RP will be a group of magical individuals known as Adepts, people who have an ancient supernatural connection passed down to them from a different world. They discovered their ability to use supernatural abilities through objects that they have a connection to and have been gathered by an individual who wants to save Araminta from an otherworldly force known as The Witch. It will not just be Adepts, but also other types of supernatural beings who want to stop the Witch.

This story will be an urban-fantasy story that will cast a certain light on "magic", while leaving it ambiguous whether or not it's truly magic or not. The storyline will have elements of superpowers, horror, and more - but the story will be a very dark cosmic horror story. The central theme of the RP will be Family, and their effects on the characters. Either the loss of a loved one or how far they're willing to go to protect them from the coming storm. Whatever the case, the cast's family will have a huge part of their character and development either in a positive or negative way. It will feature themes of exploring other worlds, and different versions of characters, but like Vivid Recollections, it's secondary themes will be Memory and Emotion.

RULES

1. OOC Rules

^{⋗ 1 . 1 |} Remember that everybody is here to have fun above all else. We may throw a few flowery jabs at each other, but remember it's all in good fun. The Golden rule is: don't be a dick.

^{⋗ 1 . 2 |} That said, remember that I have the full right to deny anyone access to the RP, and I am willing to remove anyone from the RP should they get too unruly. I hope it doesn't come to that, but I'm just putting that out there.

^{⋗ 1 . 3 |} I enforce a policy of not informing people of every time they should post (unless their character is in the middle of interactions). If you go inactive without a peep, I'm not going to babysit you. It's a player's responsibility to keep up with the RP.

^{⋗ 1 . 4 |} Please be respectful towards all other players.

^{⋗ 1 . 5 |} Please do not post a "wip" sheet. I find it very irritating when someone posts an incomplete character sheet. If you want me to read over what you have so far, just PM it to me. If you need a place to work on it just private message the sheet to yourself (or write it on one of many platforms).

^{⋗ 1 . 6 |} This RP will strictly be "first come, first serve." Meaning I will not reserve any powers/character roles/etc, and they will go to whoever finishes their character sheet first. If there's a conflict over it, I will decide the outcome.

^{⋗ 1 . 7 |} Character applications will go into the OOC (where we can work things out) until they are accepted. In other words, the character tab is for accepted characters only. Also, do not "reserve" a spot in the Character Tab unless you were given permission to by me.

^{⋗ 1 . 8 |} Try to keep the OOC active as possible. Even chit-chatting about random games is perfectly okay.

2. IC Rules

^{⋗ 2 . 1 |} No Powergaming, God-Modding, Metagaming, etc, etc... You know, the "don't"s of Roleplaying. You know the dealio.

^{⋗ 2 . 2 |} Let me say now; the story will be pretty slow-paced at times. I have a job and college, so I won't be able to post constantly. If a slower RP is good for you, then go for it.

^{⋗ 2 . 3 |} All I ask for is one post a week. If it's been a week since your last post, your character will be placed into the inactive section until they are written off (mostly by death). Once a character is inactive, however, they are officially an NPC and can be used freely by the GMs, or the players. Unless you give notice of your absence, then your character is off the table.

^{⋗ 2 . 4 |} I am not a stickler for post length. I'd rather have a meaningful paragraph, over an essay full of filler. But, I request one paragraph.

^{⋗ 2 . 5 |} This RP, at times, will get very dark. I plan for it to be a very mature, and down-to-earth Roleplay. There will be death, drinking, drugs, and tickle fingers.

^{⋗ 2 . 6 |} Character death is a real possibility. By submitting a character, you understand that they have to take responsibility for their actions. They will not be bailed out by me and possibly get injured or die. I won't jeopardize the story for one character. They can also be killed by other characters. I won't go out of my way to kill off any character - that I like - but I may injure them for the sake of the story.

^{⋗ 2 . 7 |} Romance/Sex/Whatever is allowed in the RP. "Fade to black" is so beaten into your heads by now that there's no point in even repeating it.

^{⋗ 2 . 8 |} To keep things a bit more organized, please say where your post is taking place at the start of your post.

^{⋗ 2 . 9 |} If you're also expecting me to hold your hand every step of the way, then you're going to be disappointed. This is going to be an RP that rewards taking initiative, and starting plotlines of your own. I'll provide a storyline, but I'm not going to be railroading everyone.

3. Character Creation Rules

^{⋗ 3 . 1 |} I expect some moderate detail when writing your character sheet. Remember, this RP is more grounded in realism, and I want each character to feel like a person. Try to give them a believable past, goals, personality, etc.

^{⋗ 3 . 2 |} If your goal is to basically make the strongest/best character, and try to "win" the roleplay, let me stop you here and say you won't get far. This is a story, not a place for you to wank your OP self-insert. Nothing says "I'm a bad writer" to me than giving your character the strongest abilities (along with an asston of skills). I will not hesitate to ask you to change whatever I dislike about your character sheet.

^{⋗ 3 . 3 |} If your character is a sociopath/psychopath, complete badass, perfect character, edgelord, then they're likely not going to get accepted.

^{⋗ 3 . 4 |} You can create a character of any ethnicity, gender, sexuality, background, etc, within the bounds of realism of course. You can definitely get creative here.

^{⋗ 3 . 5 |} Following abilities are banned: Anything related to "power manipulation" (such as replication, removal, etc), Immortality, Gravity Manipulation, Magnetism, Matter Manipulation, "instant death" powers, reality-warping, anything with "Omni" attached to it, and complete defense/indestructibility.

^{⋗ 3 . 6 |} I'm not placing a hard character limit, but I'm going to recommend you have no more than three characters. Afterward, you better bring something new to the table.

^{⋗ 3 . 7 |} I suggest writing a description of your character's appearance to get everyone in that writing mood. If you must, you can use a picture. Just no anime. The pictures have to be of real people, or realistic art (but, let's shy away from A/B List Celebrities).

^{⋗ 3 . 8 |} When creating a character, try to be diverse. Look at the character sheets and try to fulfill a role that no one has. No one wants a million street fighters, or nice girls. You can be pretty creative within the bounds of the lore.

^{⋗ 3 . 9 |} Please refrain from tacking skills onto characters. Try to make everything feel natural to your character.

^{⋗ 3 . 10 |} On the other hand, I'm going to be allowing more powerful abilities such as time manipulation, mind control/suggestion, memory manipulation, etc. There are limits in place to keep the playing field even, so keep that in mind.

^{⋗ 3 . 11 |} Powers reflect some aspect of the character, so keep that in mind when creating one. I'm not asking for something super symbolic, but maybe something loosely related to your character.

^{⋗ 3 . 12 |} Also, don't fill out the weaknesses/limits section of the character sheet. I'll fill that out for you!

^{⋗ 3 . 13 |} This is optional, but I can choose a power for your character. It'll be a fun little thing for both of us

The story centers around the Extra-Normal, an umbrella term for strange and magical beings that are derived from a mysterious magical spectrum of light. These beings are either humans that have an emotional connection to light that they derive magic from, have opened their mind to the universe to gain powers, is a being formed out of belief or are a remnant of the past, or have been cursed by the other beings. Each of the Extra-Normal has abilities of some sort that are inherent to them all.

Known as Extra-Normal Abilities; these beings have a wide array of abilities that come naturally to them. The first of these abilities is the power to see the unseeable or the opening of the "third eye". Anything Extra-Normal or related is completely invisible to those without it and the most basic Extra-Normal ability is the power to perceive it. They can see flames that would otherwise be invisible and monsters that shouldn't be seen. Of course, certain abilities trump this extra sense. Also, the Extra-Normal has a higher sensitivity to the strange, meaning that they can sense when something that doesn't belong in their world is nearby. However, it appears as a feeling in their skull that draws them to a particular direction. Feeling stronger the closer the being is. The secondary ability is a connection to all other extra-normal beings, a mental link that allows them to communicate with each other telepathically. This mental link can only work with people who have a connection with each other - even the smallest connection can allow them to communicate mentally. However, the stronger the bond, whether positive or negative, allows them to communicate from a further distance. At minimum Extra-normal beings can communicate with each other at a range of around sixteen feet. Depending on the bound, it's possible to communicate with another person from the other side of the planet (and it's even possible to do it through different worlds). However, these Extra-Normal beings are capable of communicating telepathically with those who are not Extra-Normal by having a powerful enough connection to them.

Certain Extra-Normal beings have unlocked the potential for reading "Aura". They are all connected to the world on a completely different level than anyone else, and can thus, perceive through their mind. However, what exactly they can sense is dependant on their personality, as, like their abstraction, reflects the user. Such as a kind person may be able to see the Auras of people in pain or are injured, or a greedy person may be able to sense money in the vicinity. Through this aura reading ability, the Extra-Normal beings can sense that object or person through walls, and over long distances. Some Aura reading is capable of gathering specific information. Though, some aura sensing requires activation. No one aura reading ability is the same (There are even some aberrations within aura reading).

Another ability inherent to the extra-normal is the ability to see into the past as if they were there. Triggered by being in a certain place, encountering a relevant person or object, or being in a moment of stress, an extra-normal being may receive a flashback into the past. Better known as Retrocognition, the Awakened will be a third party in this flashback and will be able to move around in a limited capacity as they watch the scene unfold. After the memory has faded, the Extra-Normal being will be thrust back into the real world with a minimal amount of time passed. Also, an Extra-Normal being may experience these moments while sleeping.

A peculiar aspect of Extra-Normal beings is their reaction to being in the presence of a Nexus Point. If an Extra-Normal being is within five miles of a Nexus point all of their abilities will be enhanced in one way or another. Their limits are broken, and they have access to abilities they normally don't have access to. Such as a telepath may be able to dominate the minds of people around them, and telekinetic can lift and throw a car. The presence of the mountain also enhances retrocognitive abilities, but it has an opposite effect depending on the distance. Once they get away from the Nexus Point their powers will revert to normal.

However, these all are just sub-abilities. Every true extra-normal being has an ability known as an Abstraction that is unique to them. Depending on their type it's either linked to their emotions and personality, the emotions passed down to them, belief, or an oddity among the classifications. However, each of the Extra-Normal beings is resistant to the abilities of each other. For example, mind control is more or less ineffective against them or they wouldn't be burned as badly by extra-normal fire.

Types of Extra-Normal Beings

Adept - Adepts are people who are descended from people from another universe who have a supernatural connection. These descendants are either exiles or runaways of this universe, but they have passed down their Extra-normal connection to the people of this world. Creating a group of people known as Adepts, who are more in line with traditional mages and wizards than the Awakened. They access their Abstraction via the use of a tool known as a "Channeler". A channeler is an object that the Adept has a very close emotional bond to - maybe it's a childhood toy or weapon of some sort - that allows them to utilize their abstraction. Whenever an Adept uses their abstraction they call it "Casting". It's possible to Cast without a Channel however an Adept's body is not capable of handling all of that Luminscience going through their body. It will cause nasty burns in addition to being a very unstable and unfocused casting - so it should only be used as a last resort. They are also capable of channeling through objects they have no connection but it'll be far weaker and unstable. Whenever an Adept uses their abstraction various sigils appear around their channeler. The Adepts seemingly have a connection to eleven different magic lights known as "Lux". These connections are inherited and passed down from father to son, mother to the daughter. Whenever one Adept has a child with an adept of a different color; that child will have a connection to both types of Lux. It's possible that a child will be born capable of using every kind of Lux, but the more different kinds of Lux they are connected to, the weaker all of their abilities are.

There is a way for Adepts to give this connection with the Blind. It's a technique that is reserved only for those they have a strong emotional bond with, but they can focus and pass on this connection to the Lux to them. Thus allowing them to gain an abstraction and learn how to cast.

Unlike the Awakened, Adepts are able to "learn" what they Cast instead of inheriting it. This is called developing an "Affinity" and Adepts are capable of developing a style of magic within their Lux through practice and training. This is dictated somewhat by the personality of the Adept, an impulsive Adept may be better at movement Casting than vision-based Casting. By doing this they are locking themselves into one or two sets of abilities as once they learn one type of magic they cannot. For example, an Adept in the red light may learn electric magic but will have a harder time picking up a different kind of magic. A Yellow-Adept may focus on stealth, but have a harder time learning shield and barrier Lux. If an Adept has two lights they can either learn Casting that is a mixture of the two lights or gain an affinity in each of the two Lux. It's possible, as an Adept trains, to expand their affinity but this takes time. Which is why some of the oldest Adepts are the most powerful.

The Adepts have other abilities that put them above even the Awakened and Apparitions at times. If two or more Adepts of the same color come together they may perform a "Joint-Casting" and will be able to perform a feat far beyond what they'd be able of alone. This can be incredibly strong such as instantly healing someone, summoning an army of minions, or creating an earth-shaking attack. Another ability that Adepts are capable of channeling as much Lux as they can in order to perform one powerful Casting known as Meta-Casting. This will take time as the Adept will have to charge up as much as they can and it's not a subtle action - they will glow, the ground will shake, a pillar of light will appear above them - as they draw as much energy as they can. Then they release it... however this takes immense focus and concentration and if they are broken out of that take the Lux will burn them and possibly kill them. Both of these actions take a lot out of an Adept if performed successfully. Finally, any adept of sufficient skill is capable of sealing an Apparition in an object, trapping it forever. It's risky, but an adept can seal an Apparition into their channeler to gain a power boost but it runs the risk of the Apparition escaping.

Types of Lux

Red (Rage/Hatred): The most common form of Lux is the red light of rage. It's functionally elemental magic and it allows the Adept to utilize control over an element. They are usually only capable of using one element that was passed down the family, but few are capable of using multiple different types.

Yellow (Fear/Caution): The yellow light of fear allows wielders of the Lux to place barriers and utilize stealth magic. Again an Adept usually has access to one or another but some can use both.

Pink (Love): The enticing gleam of love allows an Adept to manipulate minds. This can either control over emotions, memories, minds and even personalities and produce illusions.

Green (Happiness): The light of Joy allows an adept to manipulate the bodies of those around them, and is easily the second most common type of Adept. This can range from healing to growing wings and other such neat tricks.

Gold (Pride): The haughty golden light of Pride is the third rarest light and allows an Adept to summon. This can either be a minion or an object, in order for an object to be summoned it has to be stored in the wielder's personal dimension. A wielder of the golden light can do this to objects (in which they can simply send it away to her dimension), or creatures in which it has to be killed for a ghostly copy to be created. This copy can be summoned at will and the Adept can control its actions with thoughts. Some summons may retain a degree of sentience and personality after being defeated. Some wielders of the Golden light can pass down their summons to future generations, with some families being able to use the same pool of minions/objects they can all summon.

Purple (Anticipation): The purple light of anticipation is the third most common type of Lux. It allows an adept to create movement-based abilities, the most common is teleportation however some can do feats such as increasing their speed.

Cyan (Nostalgia): The light of Nostalgia allows an Adept to open their third eye and see beyond what their other eyes can see. They can spy on areas or perhaps even see through the eyes of others, look into the past and future, and see into other universes.

Orange (Courage): The power of the orange light allows Adepts to infuse regular objects with magical properties. Wielders of the Orange light are easily the third rarest but the most versatile. They can apply supernatural properties of all sorts to any object, but the larger the object the harder it'll be to enchant. They can enchant objects to give them the ability of flight, infuse them with an elemental property, or enhancing them in any way. However, the enchantment is never permanent and wears off after a while and must it reapplied.

Blue (Sadness): Those who have a connection to the blue light of Sadness are probably the rarest form of Adept but are likely the most dangerous. They have the ability to place curses of any type on the people around them and this can bypass the innate resistance that Extra-Normal beings have. These can be any type of curse, from causing someone to be completely impossible to understand, to freezing anything they touch, to becoming a horrific monster. Each of the curses has its own condition to break them... whether it's simply waiting for some time to pass, to learning an important life lesson! Wielders of the Blue light are incredibly dangerous, but they are limited in what type of curse they can cast and how. They are the few that can create the Afflicted Aberrations, but wielders of the Azure light can remove their curses and there is a trick for Extra-Normal beings to remove them.

Lavender (Hope): The light of hope is the second rarest one but is probably the strongest. It gives the user access to the ability to purify people and objects (they are the few that can purify a corrupted's mind) and cure Aberrations. They can also strengthen the Lux of those around them to boost their potential either for one action or varying amounts of time. They can affect other extra-normal beings than Adepts.

Black (Apathy): Possibly the most frightening form of Lux, the black light of apathy allows an Adept to manipulate the dead. This largely means reanimating the dead and using them for their purpose.

The Awakened - Those native to this universe are capable of Awakening and gaining strange and fantastical abilities. During a moment of a powerful emotion (a high-stress situation is the most common but other events such an intense moment of passion) they undergo an event known as an Awakening and gain their abstraction. These abstractions are dependant on their personality and emotion, and will always reflect them or have some type of symbolism even if it's slight. Such as a person who desires to be strong will gain a telekinetic-strength and a person with an explosive rage will be able to control fire - however, these abilities are never physical only mental or elemental. These abilities are largely imperceptible to the Blind, but few abilities can be seen by all. Each of the Awakened, when they manifest, gains a sigil. It is a black tattoo-like known as a "Sigil", and only the Awaken can see them. However, the sigils reflect the abstraction an Awaken can get and glow a color when an abstraction is activated.

Only humans are capable of Awakening because the act of Awakening requires a certain degree of intelligence. Generally, most that Awakened are ten and above because that's usually the age that most minds are capable of comprehending self and emotions at a greater degree. However, it is possible to Awaken at a younger age or even have an ability transferred to the person (that they likely will unable to fully use).

The Awakened have the same sub-abilities of the rest of the Extra-Normal beings; however, they have their own. They can transfer their abstractions to other Awakened. They can do these two ways; if they have a strong emotional bond with another Awakened they can willingly transfer it to another Awakened (or perhaps a Blind), or if they die the Abstraction can be taken by another Awakened. It's also possible for an Awakened to transfer a small fraction of their abilities to another person. Once they have the ability their sigil will appear on them. For another Awakened to use an abstraction that does not belong to them, they have to understand and channel the emotions that created said abstraction. If they don't understand the emotions they will not be able to properly use the abstraction to its fullest strength. It is entirely possible that an Awakened can have many different abstractions. However, the Awakened are only capable of using one abstraction at a time. An Awakened can only share their powers with another Awakened or counterpart.

It's possible for there to be what is called a "Collective-Awakening". It's an uncommon phenomenon where multiple people Awaken around the same time in the same vicinity and they each share a piece of the same power. However, it won't occur every time there's a group of people Awakening, and it gets more and more unlikely the more people are Awakening at the same time. Each member of a collective-Awakening gain their own "primary" abstraction but a far weaker secondary powers belonging to each member of the group. However, sometimes collective Awakenings will not gain a power belonging to each member of the group but an abstraction reflecting what they think of the person (Such as gaining a speed based abstraction from someone they believe is impulsive). The interesting thing about Collective Awakenings is that they can use each Abstraction they have at the same time without having to understand it. This will only occur if there's a great sense of familiarity with a member in the Collective. They gain a special mental link to each member of the group that allows them to share memories and see each other's auras through walls. There's a special effect given their connection; if a member of their collective dies their abstraction is divided up amongst the group. The person the deceased is closest to gets the majority of the abstraction's power.

A question that may arise is what would happen if the Awakened's personality changes? That part of them that the abstraction formerly reflected is gone? It's simple, and it's known as a Second Awakening. If a person undergoes a great personal change they will still retain their previous abstraction until they experience the second moment of powerful emotion and their abstraction will change to represent their new self. They'll still hold onto a previous piece of their abstraction for a time, but it'll be so weak that it would be nowhere near the strength of the original. Eventually, as the person finishes their growth it'll be gone.

Apparition - Apparitions are certainly strange beings, they are not individuals that are born from flesh and blood but instead created by some force beyond humans. They are created by the belief of human beings and the powerful emotions they felt. These ghostly beings can take any shape and size - the most powerful apparitions however are the largest. Some are shaped like lions, others take a more humanoid form, while others are formless - it all depends on the belief and emotion that fueled their creation. The deceased souls can also become Apparitions sometimes if there is a powerful lingering emotion in their place. However, Apparitions are completely invisible and untouchable to the Blind unless they make themselves visible - any Extra-Normal being can perceive and interact with them. While these beings are inhuman, they all possess human levels of intelligence and emotion and have free will. In function, they are ethereal humans. The Apparitions have access to abstractions and can have any number of abilities based on what they were created by. It can be simple as a Wendigo having enhanced strength, to a water apparition being able to manipulate the water. However, an apparition's strength and power are fueled by belief in them and the emotions of those around them. The more people believe in them or the more of that emotion is around them, the more powerful they become. On the flip side, if that belief or emotion begins to wane they will grow weaker until they cease to exist. Because of this, Apparitions are nearly impossible to kill. If an apparition is damaged enough they will disappear where they until they regain their form. How fast this process depends on how much belief/emotion there is in them with those with the highest levels of strength being able to return in a day or two.

However, the Adeptshave discovered a method of eliminating Apparitions known as "Sealing". Any Adept (or Extra-Normal being) of sufficient skill can imprison an Apparition into an object, trapping it forever until it is released. The stronger the Apparition the more effort it'll take to seal it, and this is the only feasible way to eliminate certain apparitions. If the object is damaged enough, they will be released but if the belief in them dies, so do they. Much like Adepts and Awakened, the Apparitions have access to abilities of their own. The other ability they have is an extra-normal sense, they get a tingle in their skulls which tells them another extra-normal being is in the area.

Most apparitions' goal is to get stronger by any means necessary, but some have other plans. However, the Apparitions are more closely tied to the power behind the Extra-Normal than the other Extra-normal beings. They are only able to operate in realms that have high amounts of magic. If a universe doesn't have enough magic for them to survive they'll slowly weaken until they go dormant. If they end up in the wrong universe they will go dormant forever.

Aberration - Aberrations are what are considered to be "outside the lines". Aberrations are people who have had contact with the Extra-Normal and gained either a blessing or a curse from their abilities. Usually, most Aberrations are created by Apparitions, but some can be created by Adepts and sometimes Awakened. Unlike the other types of Extra-Normals; Animals and humans alike can become Aberrations due to their strange nature. Aberrations are considered to be extra-normal beings, so they can use all of the baseline abilities, but only the Blind can become an Aberration. Due to the odd nature of the Aberrations, they are separated into four subclasses:

Afflicted - The most common type of Aberration, an Afflicted is a person that has been cursed by an Apparition or Adept one way or another. Perhaps it is in the Apparition nature to curse who it comes in contact with or they tangled with a wielder of the Blue Light, either way, they have a curse within them. It can be that they are weightless, or take the shape of an animal or some other beast, it can be more harmful like never being able to step foot in the sea or constantly being on fire - either way, the affliction sucks. There are some ways to remove the affliction, some Extra-Normal beings can remove it apart of their abilities. One way is to find being the being that cursed them and gets them to remove the curse, or there's a set of instructions to break the curse.

Affixed - Affixed are Aberrations who have been bounded to an Apparition one way or another. Maybe they encountered an Apparition on the brink of death and were convinced to take it inside of them, or maybe someone bound it to them. In any case, they have an Apparition residing inside of them that will come out at will. The Apparition has a mind of its own, so it may decide what it does and doesn't do, but depending on the relationship with their Affixed they can be convinced. They have a mental link with their affixed on a level that none others have; they know what the other is thinking at all times and are constantly communicating. The Apparition still has access to their abstraction, but their rules have changed. They are no longer powered by belief but instead the bound they have. They can no longer be strengthed by belief, but they also won't be weakened. If the Apparition is injured enough they will return to their user and rest inside of them until they are strong enough. The bound between an affixed can be broken if both the human and the Apparition wishes to part ways, or if the bound is broken by force by an extra-normal being.

Agent - Agents are the rarest type of Aberration. When an Apparition is sealed, they are still alive and conscious and when someone touches them they may begin a link. Certain Apparitions, in a haste, were sealed inside of objects such as weapons or even an ordinary cell-phone. When someone touches the Sealed Apparition they may gain a link with the being and may convince the thing to lend them their power. The Aberration will be able to use their power like they had it themselves and will be considered an Agent of the ghostly being. This is the reason why many sealed Apparitions are hidden away never to be found, but sometimes they slip up. Sometimes one or two ends up on Shimmer.

Adjoined: A level beyond being a mere Affixed or Agent. An Adjoined is a physical fusion between a human and an Apparition where the lines that were supposed to separate human and Extra-normal have been erased. For an Adjoined to be created, they must be an Affixed or an Agent that have agreed to fuse or have forcibly fused together. They are easily the strangest of the Aberrations, but the Adjoined's form seems like a fusion of the Aberration and the human's appearance. It depends on the circumstance, but an adjoined can be a permanent fusion or an interchangeable form. Both beings will be in control of the body but one may delegate control to the other (or seize it if possible) if they so choose. The Adjoined will have the abilities of the Aberration but unbound by belief and far weaker, and whatever extra-normal abilities the human has if they have any. There are ways to separate an Adjoined using certain extra-normal abilities.

Abscised: The Abscised are Aberrants whose bodies have been possessed by an Apparition of some kind. Unlike Adjoined, there is no dual mind, only the Aberrant having control of the body. An Abscised can be created in a variety of different ways; mainly an Apparition can possess a body of the recently deceased. Upon doing so all wounds will instantly be healed and the Apparition has full control of the body. Another way an Abscised can be created is if an Apparition fools a human into giving them their body, or if an Adjoined, Affixed, or Agent is taken over by the Apparition they are attached to. An Apparition inside of the body of a human does not have to worry about belief and can still use their personal abstraction much like an Awakened can. However, an Abscised is cut off from the abilities inherent to Apparitions such as being nearly impossible to kill or being invisible to the blind. However, not all Abscised are Apparitions; if an Extra-Normal being has their body switched they are also known as Abscised. This can be accomplished through the usage of certain abstractions, or Apparitions (A person can be cursed to inhabit a different body). Since most Abstractions are linked to the soul, their Abstraction comes with them. It's possible for an Abscised to switch bodies with someone from a different dimension.

Blind - Beings that are not quite Extra-Normal. They have no access to any of the Extra-Normal abilities listed above and are completely ordinary in the grand scheme of things. However, a Blind can achieve a higher status if they are exposed to Extra-Normal elements enough; this is known as having One-Eye-Open. This will allow them to perceive the completely imperceivable feats that Extra-Normal Beings are capable of, but offer absolutely no resistance to them. Many people that are One-Eye-Open are currently capable of Awakening.

Traveler/Counterpart - There are an unknown amount of worlds alternate to this one. It can either be one, or trillions, however in each universe, somebody has a counterpart. Every person has a version of them in a different universe that they are connected to. There are some differences, of course, depending on the backstory it could be minute as having a different hair color to being a drastically different person. However, regardless of how different there are some similarities or constants. They were never meant to venture far from their home universe but they may end up a Traveler. Travelers are the terms for those who end up outside of their home universe. Most Travelers come from a completely innocuous and normal universe - why or how they ended up is up to question. Maybe they fell into the wrong portal, or a little test went wrong. The issue is that they are no longer home, and they need to get back. Most of the time these people have no extra-normal abilities or superpowers. The only extra-normal ability they have access to is if they are in proximity to their Counterpart (around five miles of them). They will gain a mental link with them and be able to telepathically communicate with them, share memories, and see their auras through walls. It's possible for a Traveler to Awaken or an Adept may connect them to the Lux. Travelers are also capable of becoming Aberrations if they're at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Araminta, Pennslyvania is a small city set in Williams county, it's in the northern-centermost part of the state. It's merely a stone's throw away from New York state. In the 1700's a man named Richard Williams discovered the land that would be called Araminta. He mapped it out, brought his people there, and eventually named it Araminta after his beloved daughter. It functioned as a military base during the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary war - afterward the base was defunct and is now a tourist attraction. The city's main claim to fame is its railroad system, Araminta's railroad system is the nexus of various railroads in Pennsylvania that connect it to other cities. However, many of them have been retired, and you can barely walk a few blocks without stepping over some railroads. The city has a large train yard that is the hideout for various dredges and degenerates.

Araminta is a suburban city first and foremost - the most urban part of the city is its downtown area. That isn't to say that there aren't businesses every stone's throw away for everyone to get their decorations. The city is full of very nice houses that people flock to if they want to escape the droning city life, whether they are retired or not. Araminta is known for its very nice houses, but the whole city isn't kittens and sunshine. Like the rest of Pennsylvania, Araminta has a heavy drug problem. They flock to the more decrepit areas of Araminta, but those houses may look nice but the people inside of them are not perfect. A large portion of Araminta's city limits is woodlands and inside of those woods are the more remote houses and areas. The train tracks in the woods are known for being the hangouts for drug addicts and other misfits of Araminta. However, the woods contain many secrets.

Araminta isn't an extremely urban city. As stated before it's primarily suburban houses and woodlands, but it's right next to the Williams River. A massive river that was also named after the founder of the city that breaks off from the Schuylkill and Delaware River. As far as demographics go, Caucasians are the primary sight in Araminta with Asians and African-Americans being the second most common sight. Hispanics, Middle-Easterners, and Pacific Islanders are a very rare sight in Araminta.

Despite the drug problem crime is relatively low. Most arrests are for petty crimes and being caught with drugs and murders were few and in between. However, lately, the town has been changing.

---

╚══════════════╝

"My family is one built on pride and strength, I am not any different."

[ 20 | 5'4 | Chinese & Taiwanese | She/Her | 172lb ]

[Inquisitiveness]

APPEARANCE

"People jump to too many conclusions based just off of how they look."

Katie has a rather distinct appearance. While she laments the fact that she didn't get her mother's looks or any of that she seemingly has embraced a different kind of self-love. First off, Katie is Asian with roots coming from the great country of China. She has white skin with heavy golden overtones and facial features very consistent with her people. Her facial features are round and pudgy due to her heavyweight for her size. Kaitlyn due to not inheriting her brother's metabolism is quite heavy in terms of weight. She has a gut, tons of stretch marks, and fat in her facial area. However, this weight has enhanced what little sex appeal she has because she wasn't going to get any from her flat-chested and assed mother. She, at the very least, has 44F cup size and her behind sticks out in jeans. Even if she's not a super big fan of tight clothing. Speaking of which, Katie is a fan of dresses and skirts and will most likely be seen wearing that. In contrast with her twin brother, her primary color is blue. The vibe that Katie gives off is different from the rest of her family. She presents a calm and reserved aura that reflects in her behavior, her voice is usually low and she like drawing any more attention to herself than necessary.

PSYCHOLOGY

"I keep my circle small, it's easier for all of us."

MAIN GOAL ⫻ Katie's main goal has been getting a degree for Marine Biology and explore the deepest parts of the ocean. She's close to getting her master's degree so she'd be the most expert in the subject that she can be. However, her goal as of late has been getting over her nasty break up with her ex-girlfriend.

PHILOSOPHY ⫻ Kaitlyn's goal has always been about keeping to herself. She thinks the world would be a better place if fewer people focused on what other people are doing and focused more on themselves. That said, she's a girl that's all about self-improvement and becoming the best person she can be.

SECRETS ⫻ Kaitlyn's main secret is the fact that she's bisexual and the fact that she spent the last two years in a same-sex relationship. She knows her mother would renounce her if she found out, and keeps any mention of it strictly off social media. Katie is also a very secretive person in general that makes what she does, where she came from, and where she is, private as possible.

SEXUALITY ⫻ Katie is bisexual but keeps it relatively private as she doesn't want that information getting out. She accepts it fully but she thinks it's something she best keeps to herself.

FEARS ⫻ Katie fears her mother finding out about her sexuality and her secret relationship. Mainly because she hates disappointing her mother and she wouldn't approve of such a relationship.

REPUTATION ⫻ Because of her nature, Kaitlyn is relatively unknown throughout Araminta. If most people see her they probably wouldn't have a clue who she is. She likes it that way.

QUIRKS ⫻ Sometimes Katie has the habit of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.

FLAWS ⫻ Katie is fearful, reserved, and is afraid of all the raw emotions she keeps repressed inside of herself for the sake of everyone around her.

BACKSTORY

"Do not bring up Amelia."

To make a long story short: Kaitlyn's mother, Meifeng Zhao, and his aunt, Lijuan, moved to America from China because of her mother's (Lihua Zhao) dissatisfaction with China. They moved to a Californian metropolis known as Los Angeles, where they had a variety of different adventures. Meifeng grew up into a strong confident woman who went into college for a master's degree in criminal justice where she met her future sweetheart Daniel Liao. After a few years of romancing each other, they got married, and Meifeng became pregnant with twins. Justin and Kaitlyn Liao, two siblings that would pave the way for the bloodline's future.

There was a stark difference between the two. The two were a pair of wild and rambunctious people that caused headaches for their mother, father, and all other blood relatives in the vicinity. However, Kaitlyn was the more wild and passionate of the two, far more emotional than her hotblooded brother. But, other than that Katie's early life didn't have much of a note, Meifeng was at home raising them while his father was making the money for them to live comfortably. This built up a deep innate connection between the twins and their mother, who imparted many of her ideas and philosophy upon the twins - though she was unhappy with staying home by herself. Their grandmother, Lihua, stepped in and offered to take some of the workloads off Meifeng so she could pursue a career in the CIA. Their dual-earner family is what earned them a lot of money, and in turn, helped them live comfortably in Los Angeles.

However, Katie was close to her grandmother who taught her, in time, that she as a woman needed to be calmer and more reserved. That she needed the discipline that her brother lacked - but she told her that her mother was the same way. Eventually, she taught the girl how to control her emotions, wisdom, but how to be fierce when she needs to, and everything she would need to succeed in life. At the cost of making her like an old lady. This meant that Kaitlyn fulfilled the role of calming her more hotblooded brother.

In time, Kaitlyn pursued her own goals. The girl loved the ocean more than anything and she wanted to explore it, learn the animals that are in the ocean, and make breakthroughs as a scientist. Which lead to Kaitlyn taking up Marine Biology and going to the illustrious University of Araminta, where her twin-brother got sent to live with their grandmother in Farmer Hill and eventually go to a school local to the town. Being away from her family caused a huge shift in her life as she tried to get her master's degree. Kaitlyn realized something inside of her, the fact that she was more sexual than she let on. This didn't mean that she slept around, she realized that she was more attracted to people than she thought. And in time, she soon realized that it wasn't just boys she liked.

Though the girl was in no rush to get into a relationship. She merely stayed focus on getting her degree and like most cliche college-aged kids she got a job at a local coffee shop not too far away from the university. Things changed when she ran into a girl named Amelia Dallon... it was a strange experience as the girl was seemingly at her coffee shop every day, then she found out that she was at the university too. Eventually, they started hanging out and became friends and eventually, Amelia dropped the question. It was strange for Kaitie, but she decided to try it out. The two went out on a few dates and had all types of fun and eventually decided to become a couple. And things were happy for the next two years.

But, all good things come to an end. It all started a few months before the start of the story when Justin called her all frantic explaining to her that her grandmother was murdered by something. This caused grief like no other in Kaitlyn as she became withdrawn from her social circle, classes, and eventually Amelia. After her grandmother's funeral, Kaitlyn took some time to herself. However, this didn't sit too well with Amelia as she felt like she was being neglected and ignored - mixed with the fact that she felt like Kaitlyn was ashamed of her. Amelia kept trying to get close to Kaitlyn while she pushed her away.

Eventually, Kaitlyn gave into Amelia and went out to a date at a nice restaurant. It was awkward as Kaitlyn felt that the magic between them was dying and ultimately chose to break it off. However, Amelia didn't take that too well and as Katie tried to walk away she grabbed her. She cried her heart out about how she loved Katie and how it couldn't end like this and it got mad creepy for Kaitlyn. Eventually, a fight broke out between the two as Kaitlyn tried to fight her ex off and in the middle of the struggle both Amelia and Kaitlyn Awakened. Amelia was pushed away from Kaitlyn with a sudden wave and couldn't get close to her. All while Kaitlyn hauled ass back to her dorm.

This was strange as her Awakening unlocked an abstraction relating to the ocean. It felt like the ocean was at her very fingertips as she can bring it to hers. It was a beautiful experience that was unlike any other. However, Kaitlyn tried to move on with her life... but this was around the time her brother went missing and things got strange in Araminta.

SKILLS & TALENTS

"I don't have much to bring to the table, I'm sorry."

Marine Biologist ⫻ Kaitlyn is studying to be a marine biologist, and so far she is quite skilled and dedicated in her task. She is very informed about her subject and can name most marine animals right off the bat. Kaitlyn even took some swimming classes to improve.

EXTRA-NORMAL ABILITIES

"I'll show you something beautiful."

TYPE ⫻ Awakened.

ABSTRACTION ⫻ Thalassomancery, Kaitlyn can summon ocean-effects with a snap of her fingers.

ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻ Kaitlyn's ability is rooted in her love of the ocean and the raw emotion she has inside of herself that she keeps contained for the right moments. Her abstraction is a strange mixture of ocean manipulation and water generation as she can summon ocean-effects and animals in the shape of water for short periods. This can manifest in the way of summoning a wave of water to wash enemies away, a whirlpool out of thin air, a water sprout, or water in the shape of a shark. She has a wide variety of potential as she can create animals out of the water to attack foes, and summon water out of thin air. She can simply summon a body of water, too. This gives her tons of raw offensive, defensive, and mobility options as her abstraction can be used to attack people, create barriers, and move away. Kaitlyn can also merely summon water and manipulate it to her heart's content. This also comes with a sub-ability of being able to stand on this ocean water which allows her to move around, and even a levitation ability that lets her float a few feet off the ground when she cuts loose.

AURA SENSING ⫻ Kaitlyn's aura sensing allows her to see the auras of what is soaked or submerged in water up to ten meters away. She can tell which is what by the intensity of its aura as soaked objects have a less intense aura while what is submerged down.

LIMITS ⫻ Kaitlyn is also inhibited by the Extra-Normal's innate resistance to each others abstractions. Her attacks are just less effective against them. Her summoning also only works for a short period of time as whatever she summons will disappear after a few moments. Usually, it'll disappear after it does the desired effect but some of her summonses will last for only a minute at most. Kaitlyn's ability is also relatively short-ranged being able to summon water within fifteen meters of herself. Of course, Kaitlyn can only summon one effect at a time and once she summons it, she cannot stop it before it disappears on its own.

WEAKNESSES ⫻ Kaitlyn's abstraction comes with two weaknesses. First summoning water cools her body down, and the bigger the summon the more her body will cool down. Small effects won't have any noticeable effects but the more dramatic summons will cause one hell of a chill. If she cuts loose she'll come out of the engagement with hypothermia or may even freeze herself to death. Kaitlyn's abstraction also dehydrates her body as if she just consumed food rich in sodium, so she has to constantly hydrate to keep using her abstraction because it'll completely cut off if she does.

I want to join. Is there a deadline? It might take me awhile to get a sheet up.

[Mixtape Ghost N]

@silvermist1116 no deadline so to speak

@Infinite Cosmos I'm working on reviewing your character now.

[Mixtape Ghost N]

@Infinite Cosmos Now this character was a tricky one for me to review. My first thought after reading his backstory was that he's edgy af. Now, the RP is going to be a bit edgy at times (The RP is a horror RP after all), but I think he's just a bit over the top. Honestly, I was wondering if you meant to submit this kind of character to the RP (If I put out any misleading information please let me know). No mention of Araminta or why he's here (of course you can say that he's after his mark) but I think he's way too unrealistic and needs some heavy rewriting.

[Infinite Cosmos]

@Ghost NoteMay I ask what kind of rewriting are you expecting/wanting to see?

[Kosm]

Finally finished. She's still mostly the same from last time but I had to edit a couple things and figure out a power that worked and could actually be useful. What I ultimately went with feels a little too obvious, but I couldn't think of much else that wasn't convoluted or messy. Let me know if anything needs to be changed.

**June Decard**

╚══════════════╝

"Never met someone who scared me more than I scare myself."

[ 26 | 5’7” | French-American | She/Her | 126 ]

[Incomplete]

APPEARANCE

"Girl’s gotta look good, right?"

June's shoulder length auburn-red hair is usually one of the first things to catch people's attention about her, though if one looked closely at her roots they would be able to tell her natural hair color is black. Her dyed hair comes off as particularly striking compared to her pale skin and green eyes. She has a fairly trim build and toned legs due to her daily morning run, though it would be a stretch to call her athletic.

Her clothing style is pretty simple and casual, as she's usually seen sporting a pair of jeans along with a plain blouse, usually a different color per day though notably a creamy white. She'll sometimes wear a jacket as well, though it's pretty interchangeable with a vest. It all really depends on what she's feeling in the moment.

PSYCHOLOGY

"That dream seriously fucked me up."

MAIN GOAL ⫻ She wants to find the piece of herself that she believes is missing; she'd give anything to feel whole.

PHILOSOPHY ⫻ Life's short, so indulge in what makes you feel happy and fulfilled. She's also determined to a fault, she doesn't really know how to stay down and despises the very concept of giving up.

SECRETS ⫻ Nobody except her immediate family and her therapist know about the dream she had that felt like it went on for several years, and isn't quick to divulge that information to anyone. Additionally, her generally pleasant demeanor is a facade for a much colder, crass, angry, and frustrated persona, and she has no problem using people or dropping them from her life.

SEXUALITY ⫻ She doesn't even know anymore. Generally, she feels that she's straight, but she's felt attraction to women at times ever since that fateful dream. Yet she doesn't know if it's truly her own feelings or remnants from a false life.

FEARS ⫻ Dreaming. It's never happened again, but she's terrified of going through a years-long dream again and waking up to an entirely different life.

REPUTATION ⫻ A bit of a girl-next-door. She's nice enough, though she's gotten around enough for people to gossip about it, though those claims are far more exaggerated than what's actually happened. She goes to church at least, so most who disapprove of her sexual history for whatever reason are at least cordial with her to her face. Some who know her family personally or through work have questioned why she returned home from college early, only to take on a job at the library of all places. Those few may have a sense that something happened to her, though they have no idea what.

QUIRKS ⫻ She's always checking the time, as if she's got some place to be; it just helps her feel more grounded. She's also always doing something with her hands, feeling compelled to fidget or at least hold something, or else she begins to feel awkward and vulnerable. Often, she'll find herself gravitating towards people who she can tell are missing something as well.

FLAWS ⫻ She's generally detached from other people, both socially and emotionally. She can fake normalcy decently well, but a people person would be able to see through her. She's definitely got an anger streak as well, which can feel like it comes out of nowhere if one hasn't seen it happen before. Ultimately, her biggest flaw is her need to find (recreate?) what once made her feel whole, which has led to some questionable and impulsive decisions.

BACKSTORY

"Sometimes, I wonder...that 'other me'...does she know about me too?"

Born in Araminta, June had considered herself to be normal for the longest time, if not particularly unremarkable. She never thought low of herself by any means, but she really was just another person in a sea of people. Both her parents stuck around to be there for her despite divorcing when she was 15, which she saw coming due to the constant arguments they had but still felt her heart break when it happened. She also had an older brother, who often had her back just as much as she had his. She did well in high school, nothing amazing but it was more than enough to get into a college out of town. She studied world history as it interested her but she wasn't sure if it was something she would major in. She also had a boyfriend, but it didn't feel serious. She supposed she could say she was unsure of herself and what she was going to do with her life. Possibly even defined by her relationships to others.

But then one night she dreamed something unimaginable. She woke up the next day normally, but she believed she'd been asleep for several years. She lived a life entirely unfamiliar to her, yet it felt natural enough to be real. She had gone to school to be a nurse, and even graduated and found work at a hospital. Her romantic life was full of waves, yet constantly stimulated as she hooked up and broke up with boyfriends...and girlfriends too. She remembered the one person she fell for the most was a woman named Sheryl, and they'd eventually gotten back together in a serious relationship. She also remembered that she was not the same person she thought she always was. Her "dream" self had been...vicious, to put it lightly. She did whatever she wanted, within reason, and had what could only be described as a powerful aura.

When she finally woke up, nothing felt real. She couldn't tell if she was actually still dreaming, or if the dream she'd had was actually the "real" world all along. She had a mental breakdown, and ended up having to see a therapist for over a year to work through the trauma of what had happened to her. She ended up moving back to Araminta to be close to family as she coped, and took up a job at the library to help make ends meet. But as weeks and months went by, an uncomfortable truth began to make itself clear: she wasn't the same person from before. Whoever she'd been in that dream wouldn't completely disappear from her psyche, and parts of her old self felt lost. She felt mixed, yet unwhole. It didn't feel right.

The strange affairs occurring in Araminta weren't doing her mental health any favors either, especially as they became more blatant and outlandish. She didn't know what to make of any of it, as it was freaky as all hell, and considered just leaving town again. But of all things that made her decide to stay, it was running into the masked killer that she'd only heard of through hushed rumors. Though confronted, something snapped in her that activated her fight-or-flight response just in time to avoid getting hacked to pieces. She ran and ran, until eventually she was certain she'd lost the killer. It was something she was sure her old self would never had been able to do; she was certain her old self would had just died.

It was all so strange...but she just about done running by this point. Shit was going down, and she wanted some god damn answers.

SKILLS & TALENTS

" Surprised my dream translated into the real world so well. Kinda makes you think."

[History] ⫻ Though she never got her major, June is fairly knowledgeable about world history.

[Nurse] ⫻ As a part of her attempt to cope, she read up a lot on the courses required to become a nurse. What scares her is she isn't sure if the information she learned is actually new to her or not, as a lot of it somehow felt familiar and easy to pick up, comparable to riding a bike. Regardless of how well she can put the knowledge to practical use, she can at least apply first aid in a pinch.

[Coding] ⫻ She isn't a coder, at all, but she understands a lot of the basics and terms due to her "girlfriend" Sheryl being a coder herself in the dream. She remembers how excited Sheryl could get about it, and a lot of it stuck in her mind.

ABSTRACTION

"There’s something real fucked up going on here."

TYPE ⫻ Awakened

ABSTRACTION ⫻ Dream Vision- The ability to see and manipulate the dreams of others.

ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻ June’s ability to see into the dreams of others isn’t something she’s fully cognizant of, but it appears to be born from her own traumatic dream. By projecting her mind, she can experience a person’s dream as it’s happening and interact with it. This can allow her to communicate with someone without having to have access with baseline Extra-Normal telepathy. However, if she chooses to do so, she can also subtly influence others by imposing her own will and manipulating a person’s dreams, such as appearing to be all-powerful or causing a dream to seem much longer than it actually is. Additionally, she can even change herself through other people’s dreams, such as by gaining information or practicing a skill.

AURA SENSING ⫻ June can sense the auras of people who are asleep within 25 meters, though this aura type is faint. If she has ever visited someone in a dream, however, their aura is much stronger and can be sensed from twice as far.

LIMITS ⫻ (DO NOT FILL THIS OUT, I WILL PROVIDE IT FOR YOU)

WEAKNESSES ⫻ (DO NOT FILL THIS OUT, I WILL PROVIDE IT FOR YOU)

OTHER

" I just want to feel right..."

[Mixtape Ghost N]

@Ghost NoteMay I ask what kind of rewriting are you expecting/wanting to see?

@Infinite Cosmos

This might be a tough one mainly because my problem with his backstory (and well character in general) is that he's really over the top with the whole assassin backstory. I thought about it and there might not be any way to make him acceptable in my eyes without more or less making a new character. I really think you should just make a new character altogether because I find him very unrealistic. Sorry to say.

[Mixtape Ghost N]

@Kosm

June seems fine by me, since she's no different from her other version.

LIMITS ⫻ June's abstraction has a limit of thirty-five meters and beyond that, she cannot affect anyone's dreams. Her abstraction has a limit of two people at a time, but fortunately, she can bypass the Extra-normal's innate resistance to each other. Once inside of someone's dream, she can only mess with them for a limit of thirty minutes of real-time, and those who are aware of her and have strong wills can force her out much faster.

WEAKNESSES ⫻ Because of the nature of the ability, it doesn't have too many weaknesses. However, June has one fatal weakness is that any damage or injuries she may incur while in a dream will transfer to her real body. Which means she can possibly be killed in a dream.

Traveler/Counterpart - There are an unknown amount of worlds alternate to this one. It can either be one, or trillions, however in each universe, somebody has a counterpart. Every person has a version of them in a different universe that they are connected to. There are some differences, of course, depending on the backstory it could be minute as having a different hair color to being a drastically different person. However, regardless of how different there are some similarities or constants. They were never meant to venture far from their home universe but they may end up a Traveler. Travelers are the terms for those who end up outside of their home universe. Most Travelers come from a completely innocuous and normal universe - why or how they ended up is up to question. Maybe they fell into the wrong portal, or a little test went wrong. The issue is that they are no longer home, and they need to get back. Most of the time these people have no extra-normal abilities or superpowers. The only extra-normal ability they have access to is if they are in proximity to their Counterpart (around five miles of them). They will gain a mental link with them and be able to telepathically communicate with them, share memories, and see their auras through walls. It's possible for a Traveler to Awaken or an Adept may connect them to the Lux. Travelers are also capable of becoming Aberrations if they're at the wrong place at the wrong time.

I better-explained Counterparts/Travelers. I also changed how Collective-Awakenings work... again.
