Odessa.Maxwell

Doesn't Remember | Odessa Kayla Maxwell | She/Her "Life is a wheel... and I just want to make sure it keeps going."

Description: The mysterious traveler... a woman who met her end eons ago and returned as an Apparition. This Apparition was known as the Nurturing Will, as Odessa, at the time, did not remember the name of her past life. The Nurturing Will went from place to place, enriching barren lands and helping people until she latched onto a woman named Adaeze Okafor and adjoined to her until the woman's death. After she died, The Nurturing Will took her body and, using her abstraction, formed a younger version of Adaeze. The Nurturing Will made an alias to blend in with humans, then Odessa was born. Thus, Odessa drifted from place to place, universe to universe, seeing herself as a broken "balancer" or "protector" of mankind, battling malicious forces and solving supernatural situations. The woman's demeanor is odd; she always smiles and rambles about something. She is unpredictable and strange; however, underneath that veneer is a being that is utterly cunning and devious, perhaps harmless. Perhaps the most dangerous woman or "thing" in St. Portwell. Odessa can be seen around the streets of St. Portwell, giving flowers to people she finds interesting. She has a particular interest in members of the Sycamore Tree Coven and has been stalking them from a distance for quite a while. Odessa usually looks like a tribal African girl who always wears an orange robe with some dreads that hang off her head. She is short and skinny, standing at five-even, and what is odd about her body is that she's cold as a corpse and has no heartbeat. Weird, ain't it? Abstraction: The only thing abnormal about her is her desire to boop Scottish people.

Miranda, Jacqueline, & Emily G. Reed

Interactions: Luca (@FernStone), Lila (@NoriWasHere) and kind of Stormy (@Blizz)

Cracker Island. The Halloween Festival.

Naturally, these Sluts come out of the woodwork to gang up on her.

First, Luca blocks her kick towards Lila, and then a bottle of red wine spills all over her. She loudly shrieked out of anger as she just knew one of those sluts were behind it. However, Luca's threat was promptly ignored, and she hopped to her feet - however, she felt Jacqueline and Miranda pulling at her as she (attempted to) lung towards Lila anyway! She was pulled back as she felt the fucking red wine seep into her stupid little onesie that she didn't want to wear anyway. She bared her teeth as she looked down and felt it press against her skin. It felt all weird and gross. She shook her head as Stormy walked up, and then she shook her head and pointed at Lila and said,

"This crazy bitch hit me!" Emily started before looking up at Lila's feathered arm and then pointed at her nose. "What is wrong with her!? Here, of all places, she chooses to put her dirty hands on me?" Emily placed a hand on her chest.

Before she crossed her arms and looked at Luca, she said, "And what happened Luca? I had your back when you were in 8th Street! Did you fucking forget what Britney did to you? Did to us?"

Tears started running down Emily's face as she started pounding a fist in her alternate hand.

"She violated both of us! Then the rest of the Sycamore sluts let her walk scot-free to shake her ass down a runway while people like you, Vashti, Carol, and I have to live with the consequences of it!"

More tears ran down her face as she finally put the finishing blow on her rant.

"You should have my back here! Why are you acting like we aren't in this together?!"

James.Vanburen

62 | Jammison Johnathon Vanburen | He/Him "The world is full of wonderful, fleeting, precious things."

Description: Mr. Magnanimous himself. An oddity in the city of St. Portwell, as few know where he came from or why he's here. However, he just showed up in the city one day with bags of money, established a family business, bought a mansion, etc. He became a famous and popular face in the city of St. Portwell as he would do everything in his power to help the impoverished and desperate of the city - declaring himself Magnanimous. However, he is far more famous for his acts to... build his family. There are dozens of different children that all have roots to him, and many of them despise him for excessively spreading his seed throughout St. Portwell and beyond. However, James holds a secret... back in his prime years, he was an adventurer who traveled throughout the All-Verse. Gathering many different artifacts while defeating many multiversal threats, he was most famous for defeating Sunshine Jones and her Inner Circle. He ultimately oversaw her fate being thrown into the Pit. However, James quickly retired afterward to Shimmer and built up the family and legacy that he could only dream of. The artifacts and treasure he collected were placed in his mansion - with the more dangerous artifacts hidden away in those walls. James was happy... however, before the Stygian Snake began its rampage, coincidentally, he was tragically murdered, and control of his empire was handed to his son, Ezra Vanburen. He had something to do with Raven Jones. Abstraction: Agent - James Collection. James primarily used various artifacts with different magical properties as an adventurer. He put most of his collection in his mansion, but he kept a variety of powerful artifacts that would help him in a pinch. Below are his artifacts. James' Rifle: James is a famous and favorite artifact in his arsenal, one that he has been using since he was a young man. A Lee-Enfield rifle that, once the trigger was pulled, would not shoot a bullet but a marble-sized blast of magic that'd send anything he hit to another dimension. The marble will penetrate any defenses, magical or otherwise, and has a bottomless clip. Shield of Exusia: A deployable barrier inside of a gauntlet which James can control the size. He can deploy it to be tiny or large enough to cover him. The shield is nearly impenetrable. The Tyrant Destroyer IV: A famous weapon that was a part of the series of seven different magical weapons (two gauntlets, a spear, a shield, etc.). The Tyrant Destroyer is a magical sword that James can summon at will, and the blade can sense the "corruption" in a person. It'll generate a searing flame if it collides with tyrants and other monsters. This flame will attempt to consume them and bypass any defenses (fire resistance being the most notable). While pure of heart or otherwise righteous will not be affected by the flames, the blade can still slash them. Buttonless Sack: It appears as a simple burlap sack, but it's an infinite storage in which all James has to do is reach inside and pull out what he desires. It's what he uses to store his artifacts. The Key to Worlds: How James went from one dimension to another, a magical glowing white key that all he had to do was stick in the air, and it would create a "door" to a different world. Upon removing the key, the door disappears and can be used infinite times.

An NPC that will appear in the upcoming Britney x Layla post.

Sabrina.Vanburen

31 | Sabrina Lydia Vanburen | She/Her "Everyone loses themselves once or twice."

Description: Affectionately called "Bean" by Britney Williams, Sabrina is the enigmatic and magnanimous child of James Vanburen, one of his many. The primary distinction between Sabrina and the rest is that she is openly transgender, and the secondary one is that she reveres her father. Unlike the other siblings, who harbor grudges against him, Sabrina holds her father in the highest regard and lives with him as an example. Like the rest of the Vanburens, Sabrina was born and raised in St. Portwell but primarily found herself in the higher-end schools or on exquisite vacations on her father's dime. It was where she found herself and where she claimed that the "caterpillar became the butterfly." She abandoned her previous identity later in life, and after much expensive surgery (or as she claims), she became the person she is now. Sabrina graduated with a master's in Fashion Design and a Bachelor's in Costuming. She is very well known in the High-fashion and modeling fields, which is how she met her friend Britney Williams. Sabrina is an open social activist, donating much of the funds she earns with her career to different charities and helping those in need - much like her father would have. Sabrina would fight tooth and nail to help the city in any way she could, not just because she loved the place she grew up but because it was the magnanimous thing to do. While she's not the biggest social media superstar, she is well-known in different parts of the city. Sabrina is a fairly tall woman, six feet even, but she's somewhat skinny (Somewhat in the way that she has a bit of chub) and not very curvy. She is mixed, half-black, and half-white. Sabrina rarely speaks, and when she does, she speaks with a gentle softness that only the most nurturing and compassionate could have. Abstraction: Adjoined - The Silkworm. An Abstraction that Sabrina has had since she was a teenager... the Silkworm is an Apparition that was a part of her father's collection that she discovered after being nosy and going through his things. It took the shape of a very old sweater... and latched onto her. After freaking out, her father taught her the ropes of the Silkworm and that it was her friend. The Silkworm has several different abilities, but at its basest is that she can telekinetically manipulate all fibers/fabrics (wool, silk, cotton, etc), denim, nylons, polyester, rayon, flannel, leather, feather down, linen, and spandex. One aspect of Silkworm's abstraction is the ability to create fabric from her body and several meters of cloth near-instantly from her body. The most powerful aspect of Silkworm is the ability to manipulate the tensile strength of clothes. Tensile strength is how much stress a single thread can withstand before it snaps; Silkworm can adjust how much it takes before it snaps. She can, at most, give a single thread the tensile strength of diamonds, or she can make it shred like wet tissue paper. This abstraction comes with a subtle (and useless) extrasensory ability as it gives Sabrina the exact measurements of the people around her, and she can make outfits for them. Her clothes? Well, that's the Silkworm's "body," and it can instantly change her outfit.
