"Excellence isn't optional. It's the standard."
Full Name: Katherine Rose Nightstone
Age: 37 (and trying desperately to hide it)
Appearance: Katherine is the epitome of a career-woman. The chief hiring manager is rarely seen not dressed in one of her many business suits. Her typical work attire consists of a tailored blazer over a silk blouse and pencil skirt. The hallmark of Katherine's wardrobe are her polished black stilettos which she never seems to take off. Many a new employee has heard their doom approaching thanks to the loud clicking her her heels against the tile floors. When she feels like 'dressing down' for a day, Katherine will trade her suit for a black sheath dress, fishnet stockings, and silver jewelry.
Katherine's looks are a different animal altogether. Being trained in illusion magic at a young age, Katherine is quite skilled at altering her appearance as needed. She mainly utilizes this skill for concealing her true age. Despite being almost forty, Katherine is quite conscious about the fact she's getting older. Thanks to her magic, she's able to keep her looks somewhere in her early thirties by hiding wrinkles and gray hairs. When utilizing her divination magic, Katherine's icy blue eyes glaze over in a cobalt shade as she scans the future or glimpses the potential of an employee she's interviewing.
Worldview: Katherine is well know around the office for her no nonsense mentality. Having been trained for this job most of her life, she was taught to expect nothing less than the best from herself and her co-workers. While this may sometimes rub people the wrong way, if they get past Katherine's tough exterior, they tend to see she genuinely cares about the people she works with. She just has to bee an asshole if it means people survive missions, mortals are safe, and Magicorp gets results.
Position: Administration - Chief Hiring Manager
Magic: Katherine is well versed in Divination and Illusion magic. Using her foresight, Katherine is able to see the potential of applicants when they come to interview at Magicorp. This made her a natural fit for the hiring department. After training for years to hone her illusion skill, Katherine is quite adept at hiding her identity when she's sent on assignment to go monster hunting.
Resume (Background): The daughter of a powerful wizard and a witch, the first thing people noticed about Katherine were her ethereal ice-blue eyes. It wasn't long after she started talking that she'd begin asking questions about events that hadn't happened yet. When the nature of her powers was discovered, Katherine's father - a senior board member at Magicorp - seized upon the opportunity to hone his daughter's abilities. Katherine would train for hours on end with her father. Despite being a brutal taskmaster, Katherine adored her father and flourished under his tutelage. When she finally came of age and was able to apply to Magicorp, her application was accepted almost instantly.
Because of the nature of her powers, Katherine was first placed in the "Finance" department. While deployed on missions, her skill at seeing the future kept more than one monster from breaking loose, and her illusions could provide disguises for her comrades, or save a life at the last moment by obscuring them from view. During a particularly brutal mission to the Black Forest in Germany, one of Katherine's closest friends Amalia, was killed. The loss of her friend and co-worker shook Katherine and only made the witch retreat further into her obsession with perfection. Eventually, this drive to improve the company landed her a spot in the hiring department where she quickly rose to run it within a few years. Now, she oversees all incoming recruits and dedicates herself to only selecting the 'best of the best' to ensure Magicorp remains strong and no one else has to die.
Interests:
- Black Coffee
- Classical Music
- Journaling
Non-Interests:
- Deception
- People commenting on her age
- Wasted Potential
Other Junk:
- Katherine's love of classical music comes from her late mother. She died when Katherine ten years old. This event is part of the reason why she clung to her training sessions with her father so tightly.
- Katherine always keeps a pocket journal in her purse. To those who've seen what's inside, it's an almost incomprehensible collection of notes, scrawls, coffee blends, and anything else she finds interesting. Oddly disorganized despite her Type A personality.
- The silver necklace Katherine wears whenever she's 'casual' in the office was a gift from Andrew Blackwood, the current CEO. They've had an on-again, off-again relationship over the years.

Full Name: Andrew Blaze Blackwood
Age: 39
Appearance: Andrew seems like an imposing individual at first. He stands at 6'2 with a muscular, well-built frame. His piercing silver eyes have made more than one employee shiver when he walks the office halls. Andrew typically sports his charcoal gray suit throughout the workday, but whenever he's working late (which is always), or an a mission (frequently), he lets himself go a little bit. When it's time to focus on the task at hand, Andrew sheds his blazer, loosens his tie, and rolls up his sleeves. He actually admits that he finds the whole concept of an office dress code rather suffocating, but he recognizes that in order for Magicorp to be its best, that all starts with personal presentation. As such, he adheres to the rules to set an example for his employees.
When not at work, Andrew prefers to be out in nature. He'll lose the suit in order to walk barefoot through a forest in jeans and a tank top at the first opportunity. When he doesn't have that, Andrew will settle for tending the rooftop garden at the office. At most hours of the day, he'll also have a coffee cup in his hand. Caffeine is the one thing that keeps his brain functioning after a long night without much sleep.
Lastly, if one were to look underneath his shirt, they would see a variety of scars across his front and back. They vary in size from miniscule to the large crescent-shaped slash mark arcing across his back. When pressed, he just responds he used to be careless on missions back in his youth. Many get the impression this is not the case...
Worldview (Personality): Despite being the one in charge of - arguably - the largest organization of wizards and witches on the planet, Andrew has a surprisingly laid back approach to his job. Rather than micromanage, he trusts the admins underneath him are going to do their best to keep the company afloat. While some view this as a lazy mentality, Andrew is actually quite smart and driven.
Position: "What position/department are you applying for?"
Magic: "What is your preferred type of magic? Before you ask, saying you 'can do everything' will be an instant rejection. A millennia of evolution proves THAT'S a lie... What's your elemental focus? Do you see the future or cast illusions? Are you some druid hippie looking for a handout?"
Resume (Background): "I don't want your life story, but the bosses seem to. What have you been doing up until this point? Who are your next of kin? Where did you attend school, or were you raised in a cave? Be detailed on this. We need to keep proper files."
Interests (Likes): "Keep this Brief. I don't have all day..."
