GORO'S.WAYFINDER
| Navigation | "Illuminate the unseen, traverse the unknown." ORIGINS & CREATIONS: | Crafted by Goro Hatanaka and Kari Wilson, it was designed to locate the missing artifacts of the Hatanaka family while also being capable of tracking other relics across the All-Verse. | TYPE: | Artifact-Locating Medalion | LOCATION: | Goro Hatanaka holds the original, while a duplicate, created using his Mass-Production spell, is entrusted to Kari Wilson. | NOTABLE OWNERS: | Both are owned by Goro Hatanaka and Kari Wilson, both dedicated to preserving ancient legacies. | ABSTRACTION-GRANTING: | No. | .............................................................................	Goro's Wayfinder is a collaborative effort between Goro Hatanaka and Kari Wilson. Activated with a touch to its central orange gem, this artifact projects a three-dimensional holographic map, illuminating the expansive reaches of the All-Verse. The map reveals the immediate terrain, hidden pathways, and landscapes concealed from ordinary sight. The holographic display showcases the different realms and alternate dimensions that coexist. Each dimension's name, if known, is displayed alongside unique visual cues and markers that symbolize their distinct characteristics and properties. Additionally, Goro's Wayfinder intelligently notes any discernible differences between the observed dimension and the user's current dimension. It highlights portals between these worlds, allowing users to find potential gateways. Its most exceptional feature lies in its ability to detect artifacts infused with the distinctive Lux of the Hatanaka family. When activated, the Wayfinder swiftly pinpoints these ancestral relics on its holographic display, marking their approximate locations with glowing orange kanji glyphs. While its precision is unparalleled for Hatanaka artifacts, the Wayfinder provides a broader estimation of other relics scattered throughout the All-Verse, indicating general areas rather than precise locations. Crafted with an intuitive user interface, the Wayfinder seamlessly responds to gestures and commands, enabling users to navigate through unknown territories, zoom into specific regions for detailed examination, and display potential routes to their destinations. It also provides real-time updates on environmental conditions and can record and store valuable data from past journeys. Enhanced by potent Orange Lux enchantments, Goro's Wayfinder embodies supernatural durability, capable of withstanding the rigors of even the most challenging magical and physical trials. It is a tool of profound utility and reliability, crafted to aid adventurers in their quests across the boundless realms of the All-Verse. Differences Between the Original and the Mass-Produced Versions The mass-produced versions of Goro's Wayfinder, created through his Mass-Production spell, retain the core functionality of the original artifact but with significant limitations. These replicas offer rudimentary navigation and artifact detection but lack the precision and advanced capabilities of the original. Regarding the holographic display, the replicas can only project a two-dimensional map with reduced detail. While the original Wayfinder provides a three-dimensional, highly detailed hologram that reveals hidden pathways and landscapes, the replicas offer a more straightforward overview of the immediate terrain and known routes, missing out on the intricate holographic effects. Regarding artifact detection, the replicas can still locate Hatanaka artifacts with far less accuracy. The original swiftly pinpoints these artifacts with glowing orange kanji glyphs, whereas the replicas show a wider radius around the general area, making precise location identification more challenging. The replicas give vague estimations for other relics, often indicating large regions rather than specific spots. The navigation of different dimensions also sees a reduction in capability. The original Wayfinder displays detailed information about alternate realms, highlighting portals and unique characteristics of each dimension with real-time updates. The replicas, however, only provide basic information about known universes without real-time updates or detailed visual cues, and their ability to highlight portals is less accurate. Additionally, the replicas' user interface is more basic, offering simple touch-based commands without the advanced gesture recognition of the original. The replicas can display potential routes but cannot provide real-time updates. Finally, the replicas' durability is significantly lower. While the original Wayfinder is enhanced with potent Orange Lux enchantments, making it capable of withstanding extreme conditions and intense magical forces, the replicas are more susceptible to damage and less robust overall. They also have limited data storage capabilities, recording only basic journey details without the extensive archival features of the original.

AURORA
| The Ever-Adapting Blade | "Blade that evolves with every battle, weaving the threads of past and present into a legacy of innovation and strength." ORIGINS & CREATIONS: | Goro's first artifact, created before the war against the Stygian Snake, which he extensively used. Throughout his life, Goro continually honed and refined Aurora, imbuing it with new enhancements and magical abilities, transforming it into a legendary ōdachi capable of adapting to any challenge. | TYPE: | Adaptive Ōdachi | LOCATION: | Last known in Goro Hatanaka’s possession, its current whereabouts are uncertain following his disappearance. Or if he even has it. | NOTABLE OWNERS: | Exclusively wielded by Goro Hatanaka, who meticulously customized and upgraded it over time. | ABSTRACTION-GRANTING: | No. | .............................................................................	Aurora stands as a masterpiece of adaptability and resilience. Crafted from the finest Japanese steel (folded over a thousand times), the blade was infused with Orange Lux by Goro Hatanaka. Its blade is durable; with each swing, Aurora effortlessly withstands the impact of nearly any material, including magically reinforced barriers and armored defenses. Beyond its durability, Aurora exhibits a connection to the user's soul, allowing it to intuitively adapt to Goro's situations in battle, including changing its structure. This innate bond manifests when faced with adversaries wielding paranormal abilities. When opponents employ teleportation to evade attacks, Aurora enables Goro to follow their teleportation trails and maintain close pursuit. In encounters with elemental magics like pyromancy or cryokinesis, Aurora assimilates the element upon contact with its blade. It can then unleash waves of fire or ice with each swing. Against adversaries wielding regenerative abilities, Aurora's blade absorbs a sample of its healing magic upon contact. This absorption not only temporarily enhances the ōdachi's own durability but also accelerates the repair of any damage sustained during combat. Similarly, when facing foes with superhuman strength, the blade undergoes a physical transformation, subtly altering its structure. In response, Aurora becomes a blunt force object capable of delivering devastating physical strikes instead of a slicing weapon. Aurora's legacy as the Legendary Adaptive ōdachi is further enriched by its ability to synergize with other paranormal abilities. Whether collaborating with allies or countering foes, the ōdachi embodies the spirit of adaptability, evolving with each encounter to uphold the honor and prowess of the Hatanaka lineage.

THE.GHOST
| The Whisperer | "The spirits themselves guide each shot." ORIGINS & CREATIONS: | The Ghost was masterfully crafted by Hatanaka Yumi, a lesser-known yet exceptionally talented member of the Hatanaka family. Unlike her more famous relatives, Yumi's creations were deeply rooted in subtlety and precision. She forged this rifle during relative peace, focusing on creating a weapon that could silently and efficiently deal with supernatural threats. | TYPE: | Lux Infused Matchlock Rifle | LOCATION: | Its last known location is rumored to be in the hands of a secretive collector, hidden away from the eyes of the world. | NOTABLE OWNERS: | Hatanaka Yumi, its creator, used The Ghost to protect her family and allies from unseen Paranormal threats. Its effectiveness in dispelling Apparitions and defending against invaders became legendary among those who knew of its existence. | ABSTRACTION-GRANTING: | No. | .............................................................................	The Ghost is an artifact of immense power. The rifle's barrel and stock are adorned with intricate patterns of gold and silver, depicting ethereal scenes of spirits and phantoms. These designs shimmer and shift, creating the illusion of movement and life. The matchlock mechanism, a blend of ancient technology and magical enhancement, showcases the Hatanakas' mastery over both domains. When wielded, The Ghost channels the user's Lux into a magic projectile, aptly named the Lux-Bullet. These Lux-Bullets have a different effect depending on the color of the wielder's Lux; thus, each shot becomes a unique manifestation of the user's specific Lux. If the wielder is not an Adept, then The Ghost will not work. Effects Based on Lux Red Lux: The Lux-Bullet burns with intense fire, causing additional elemental damage and leaving a lingering burn on the target. Green Lux: When the Lux-Bullet hits a target, it creates healing energy that heals the user and nearby allies. Yellow Lux: The Lux Bullet creates a protective aura around the wielder or an ally, reducing damage for a short duration Pink Lux: The Lux-Bullet can disrupt the target's emotional state, making hostile entities more susceptible to peaceful resolutions. Gold Lux: The Gold Lux-Bullet, when it strikes, creates a unique minion based on the person struck by it. Purple Lux: The Lux-Bullet slows down time around the target. Orange Lux: The Lux-Bullet can imbue allies with increased strength and durability, enhancing their Abstraction for a short duration. Blue Lux: The Lux-Bullet inflicts a lingering curse on the target, weakening them over a short period. White Lux: The Lux-Bullet can unveil hidden secrets or memories of the target, providing the wielder with valuable information about their opponent. Black Lux: The Lux-Bullet drains life energy from the target, causing severe necrosis and weakening their vitality. If an Adept possesses multiple Lux colors, The Ghost allows the wielder to select which Lux to channel into each shot. This selection can be made intuitively, with the rifle responding to the wielder's intent and emotional state or deliberately focusing on the desired Lux effect. In addition to the unique effects each Lux color provides, The Ghost possesses several powerful base abilities that enhance its formidable nature. The Lux-Bullets can be fired without sound, nor does the weapon produce a flash. The Lux Bullets can bypass physical barriers and armor; however, they are stopped in their tracks by any enchanted objects or magical barriers.

SWIFT.SCROLLS
| Portal of the Infinite | "The pathway to far off lands.." ORIGINS & CREATIONS: | There are dozens of Swift Scrolls forged in collaboration with Purple-Lux Adepts. The Hatanaka Family crafted the Swift Scrolls during an era of exploration and discovery; each imbued with the essence of distant lands. | TYPE: | Teleportation-Artifact | LOCATION: | Scattered across the All-Verse. Many of the Swift Scrolls are safely stored in the Hatanaka Sanctuary, while some are a part of various Artifact collections, and others are in desolate worlds waiting to be found. | NOTABLE OWNERS: | Often wielded by Hatanaka explorers, adventurers, and scholars who wielded the Swift Scrolls to chart new territories and forge alliances with distant cultures. | ABSTRACTION-GRANTING: | No | .............................................................................	The Swift Scrolls are revered artifacts renowned for their unparalleled teleportation abilities, infused with the potent essence of Purple Lux. Each scroll is adorned with intricate swirling patterns of purple runes that shimmer with Purple-Lux. Upon activation, the scroll unleashes a swirl of magical winds imbued with glowing purple hues, whisking the user and their companions to their desired destination. Operated independently, each Swift Scroll responds to the user's intent and requires a precise sequence of chants for activation, channeling the ancient magic of the Hatanaka lineage. Beyond their primary teleportation function, Swift Scrolls offer additional benefits, providing limited protection against hostile environments. Upon arrival, they create a brief, protective bubble that allows travelers to acclimate to unfamiliar landscapes. After each teleportation journey, the artifact enters a mandatory one-hour cooldown phase. During this time, it recharges its magical energies, stabilizes its dimensional pathways, and safeguards its mystical integrity against misuse. This cooldown period ensures the reliability and longevity of the Swift Scrolls, maintaining their potency and preserving the ancient wisdom embedded within them.

THE.SWORD.OF.RAIJIN
| The Approaching Storm | "Turn the weapons of our foes against them." ORIGINS & CREATIONS: | Created by the Hatanaka Family during World War II. | TYPE: | Enchanted Sword | LOCATION: | Stolen along with many of the Hatanakas other artifacts, its current location is unknown. | NOTABLE OWNERS: | Hatanaka Hiroshi: A revered Orange-Lux Adept for his unyielding courage and strategic insight, wielded Raijin during World War II. | ABSTRACTION-GRANTING: | No. | .............................................................................	Raijin emerged from the skilled hands of the Hatanaka Family during the tumultuous years of World War II. Crafted from the finest Japanese steel (folded over a thousand times) and infused with Orange Lux, Raijin's creation was spurred by a need for a weapon to turn the tide of battle. The sword's most remarkable attribute is its ability to manipulate magnetic fields. When wielded, Raijin can project a magnetic barrier capable of seizing any metallic object that enters it, regardless of its velocity. Whether bullets hurtling at supersonic speeds or enemy weapons thrust with deadly intent, all metal halt midair. Moreover, Raijin possesses the unique ability to release captured metal with controlled force, allowing its wielder to wield the battlefield's chaos to their advantage without compromising the sword's integrity. Beyond its formidable magnetic prowess, Raijin is renowned for its exceptional durability. Crafted to endure the harshest battlefield conditions, the sword's edge remains capable of slicing through obstacles with the precision of a surgeon's scalpel.

ECLIPSE
| The Vantablack | "Embrace the darkness within." ORIGINS & CREATIONS: | Forged by the legendary Hatanaka Family, Eclipse was created as a desperate measure to combat the Stygian Snake during its reign of terror over Japan. However, in its fateful encounter with the Apparition, Eclipse absorbed the serpent's evil essence, becoming cursed. | TYPE: | Cursed Sword | LOCATION: | Lost to Time. | NOTABLE OWNERS: | Takashi Hatanaka: The renowned Orange-Adept of the Hatanaka clan forged Eclipse as a desperate weapon against the Stygian Snake during its terror over Japan. In a fateful encounter, he struck the serpent with the blade, imbuing it with the Apparition's evil essence and creating its curse. | | Ayako Hatanaka: A member of the Hatanaka lineage wielded Eclipse against the Stygian Snake but fell prey to its curse. Transforming into an uncontrollable Anti-Form, she became a rampaging beast until her peer tragically killed her. | ABSTRACTION-GRANTING: | No. |	Eclipse, forged by the legendary Hatanaka Family during Japan's darkest hour, was crafted from black steel infused with Orange-Lux, folded over a thousand times in a desperate bid to combat the Stygian Snake's reign of terror. However, in a fateful encounter with the Apparition, Eclipse absorbed the serpent's evil essence, becoming cursed. Lost to time, its last known whereabouts remain obscured by history. This legendary sword's unparalleled sharpness effortlessly slices through nearly any mundane or enchanted substance, ignoring physical and magical defenses. Its durability is equally remarkable, rendering it near-impervious to most damage—supernatural or mundane. Beyond its cutting edge and resilience, Eclipse bestows the extraordinary ability to manipulate darkness upon its wielder. The sword allows the wielder to solidify shadows into tangible constructs, versatile in form—ranging from defensive barriers that deflect attacks to offensive weapons that strike with lethal precision. However, the sword's power comes with a dangerous caveat. Prolonged or excessive use of Eclipse triggers a malevolent transformation known as the Anti-Form. In this state, the wielder's attire and skin darken into inky blackness, their eyes glowing crimson and emitting wispy darkness with every movement. In the Anti-Form, physical attributes such as strength, durability, speed, and regeneration become superhuman, unleashing unparalleled combat prowess. Yet, this heightened state also unleashes a berserk frenzy driven by primal aggression and an insatiable thirst for destruction. Removing the sword from the wielder's grasp is the only means to revert to normalcy. Crafted as a testament to the Hatanaka Family's mastery of magical weaponry, Eclipse marked a pivotal moment in their legacy. Once celebrated as heroes and protectors, the Hatanakas gradually receded into obscurity, their magical heritage eclipsed by pursuits of wealth and influence..........................................................

Stephany.Moore

34 | Stephany Christina Moore | She/Her "I uncover the secrets that others cannot see, and in those secrets, I find my true purpose."

Description: A crucial member of Dollhouse's business side: Stephany is Dollhouse's Appraiser. Stephany is a native of Miami, Florida, and didn't have a fascinating life at first. Sure, she was upper-middle class (By Miami's standards), but her father ran a reasonably popular restaurant while her mother stayed home. She had many friends who loved exploring and having fun, though sometimes they liked exploring the Everglades. However, one hike went slightly south when an Alligator-Abominable attacked them, they escaped but the event triggered a Kindling-Event in all of them. These new powers opened a new purpose for the girls... and they loved nature and the Everglades like no other! After becoming familiar with magic, they covered the different factions within the city of Miami and the supernatural chaos it was in. They decided to form their own: The Everglades Wardens, a Coven dedicated to protecting the Everglades' ecosystem from magical malfeasance. Together, they sealed any hostile Apparitions that roamed the Everglades, relocated any Abominable to other dimensions, decreed that no Paranormal was allowed, and warded them off if they entered. For Stephany, it was the time of her life! It was a time of belonging, fun, and adventure! Even though she wasn't a fighter, she discovered her affinity for learning about the Paranormal and devised many spells that assisted their Coven. She had a talent for it and wasn't going to squander it. However, the Everglades Wardens began to drift apart before her very eyes! She tried to keep them together, but they had other obligations and responsibilities, and Stephany felt lost. However, Stephany drifted around to see if someone could fill that niche... but Dollhouse opened a new niche for her. Dollhouse knew her unique talents (because they had a spy in the Everglades Wardens all along) and offered her a position to be their Appraiser for when they were sold or selling artifacts or Apparitions. She was hesitant initially, but Dollhouse ensured that all of their employees were well-paid, and Stephany couldn't resist making some money. Over time, she learned how messed up the organization was but didn't care as long as money remained in her pocket. Naturally, Stephany went with them to St. Portwell when they moved. She remains as out of place as possible in the organization, being a chubby, bubbly woman with glasses and blonde hair. Abstraction: Adept - White Lux. Channeler: A Feather Quill. Artifact Lore: When Stephany touches an artifact and utters an incantation, she is instantly flooded with comprehensive knowledge about the item. This spell reveals its name, origin, creator, and detailed descriptions of its magical properties. Additionally, Stephany gains a brief history of the artifact, highlighting significant events and notable previous owners. The knowledge she acquires is vivid and precise, enabling her to understand the artifact's full potential and the context of its existence. Apparition Insight: By muttering a specific incantation, Stephany can focus on an Apparition, whether it is sealed or free, and be flooded with knowledge about it. This spell allows her to learn the Apparition's history, name, and Abstraction. Furthermore, through this connection, Stephany can understand the Apparition's intentions and emotions, gaining insight into its nature and motivations. The Blueprint: Casting this spell enables Stephany to create a detailed visual map of an artifact’s internal structure and enchantments. The spell reveals the internal workings of its magical components, illustrating how they interact and exposing hidden features. This blueprint manifests as a glowing holographic image, allowing Stephany to study the artifact in great detail. The Archive: By casting this spell, Stephany gains access to a magical archive containing comprehensive information about all known Apparitions and artifacts. This vast knowledge repository provides detailed historical records, descriptions of mystical properties, and known interactions with any entity or item she encounters. The archive updates in real-time, ensuring that Stephany always has the most current and accurate information.

Project: Worlds UnKnown

Kimberly.Walton
30 | Kimberly Wendolyn Walton | She/Her. "I will protect the world the only way I know how."	Description: The internet superstar and sensation Kimberly Walton! Kimberly is famous worldwide for her hit show Projects: Worlds UnKnown. This began on YouTube to a modest following but gained immense following given its riveting tales, amazing special effects (it almost looks real), and charming host. Kimberly has dozens of stories of her fighting ghosts, monsters, and other beings and has built a captivating lore, except it's not fiction. Kimberly Walton is fighting these monsters that shouldn't exist and presenting them as fiction. After a tragedy in her hometown, New Braunfels, Texas, she dedicated herself to fighting monsters and keeping the world safe herself. She is taking matters into her own hands as she doesn't trust organizations such as the PRA. She isn't alone; she's usually accompanied by her cameraman and best friend, a Purple Adept that she saved from certain death. With this show, Kimberly has become a force in the magical community while making everything look and sound fake. Kimberly has dispatched dozens of dangerous Apparitions from the shadows. How did it all start? As stated before, Kimberly was born and raised in New Braunfels, Texas. Her parents were retired Army veterans, and they met in service and settled down to live near her mother's hometown, San Antonio, Texas. Kimberly had a sister named Bethany, and Kimberly, at a young age, displayed a creative and fun-loving side that loved to read and enjoyed art, but her parents had a different plan; they wanted their daughter to follow in their footsteps. After all, doing this great honor was a part of the family tradition... but it wasn't in Kimberly's best interests. Bethany shared that she just wanted to be creative and fun-loving. The two girls were pretty much close childhood friends - Kimberly's only friend. Kimberly had an early interest in photography. As a teenager, she would often wander around New Braunfels taking photos. Sometimes at night, to the chagrin of her father... which took a turn one night when she came across an abandoned cabin in the neck of the woods. A fire flickered inside, and curiosity got the best of Kimberly as she investigated. She found a cult conducting a ritual. This cult, known as the Cult of the Midnight Moon, gathered on the outskirts of town and performed a ritual that used an artifact known as The Artistic Integrity, a White Adept, and an Orange Adept to draw a photo of a different world. Using Artistic Integrity, they opened a portal through this photo and let in a dangerous Apparition known as Necron. The first thing Necron did was go on a rampage and murder whatever cultist that it could get its hands on, and Kimberly saw it all... but the Artistic Integrity fell at her feet, and something told her to grab it before she turned on her heel and hauled ass. However, she did not see Necron open a portal to his world, which led to a wave of Apparitions and Abominable that plunged the city of New Braunfels into chaos! Feeling some sense of duty, Kimberly made it her mission to solve this chaos and save New Braunfels. Acquiring several artifacts (Such as the Magispheres, The Vial, The Cube, etc.), Kimberly made some headway on defeating Necron's forces, but one night, she found getting mauled by Abominable creatures. Kimberly, as part of her sworn duty, fought off the monsters and used the vial to save the girl from the brink of death. After she came, the girl introduced herself as Jordan Nichols. Then, she showed appreciation for Kimberly by joining her on her mission, explaining that she was a Purple Adept. The two fought the forces of Necron, and, the leftovers from the Cult of the Midnight Sun. It culminated in a final battle against Necron, and the two defeated the Apparition. Using The Artistic Integrity, she sealed Necron in a photo, thus ending Necron's reign of terror and defeating The Cult of the Midnight Sun. However, this forever changed Kimberly's eye and invigorated her with a newfound sense of courage, duty, and passion for the Paranormal. Thus, Kimberly dedicated her life to protecting the world from the unknown. The Cult of the Midnight Sun left behind plenty of knowledge through books and ancient texts that Kimberly and Jordan spent countless hours studying (Jordan learning some new spells in the process). Kimberly felt a deep-seated need to share her experiences with the world, to turn her passion for the paranormal into something more. During this time of reflection, Kimberly decided to create "Project: Worlds Unknown," a web series chronicling her adventures as a Ghost Hunter and Paranormal Investigator. She saw the show as a platform to educate, entertain, and inspire others to embrace the unknown and confront their fears head-on. While traveling across the country and beyond with her new best friend, Jordan, in search of knowledge, allies, and artifacts to aid her in her quest to protect humanity from the darkness that lurks in the shadows. Abstraction: One-Eye-Open - Artifact-Collection. Kimberly is technically not a Paranormal-Being. Instead, she has a collection of different artifacts that she uses that give her the illusion of being Paranormal. Though she has an Emotional-Field and several magical weapons, she is practically a Paranormal-Being. She keeps all the artifacts she uses on her adventures on a belt (or in the case of the rings, around her fingers). Below are all the artifacts that she owns: The Artistic Integrity: The crown jewel and first artifact that Kimberly ever found! The Artistic Integrity is a magical camera that originated from a mysterious Adept who sought to create a tool capable of capturing the essence of the supernatural world and harnessing its power for the forces of light. A tool capable of defending the defenseless against the forces of Apparitions, it has three main properties. First, The Artistic Integrity grants its wielder the ability to teleport to any location captured within a photograph. By focusing her will and channeling the camera's magic, Kimberly appears at the location depicted image in a flash of light. She can teleport anywhere through these photos, even to other dimensions; however, it has an hour's cooldown between uses. The second ability is that Kimberly can peer into distant locations and observe events unfolding in real-time through photos by focusing on them and willing. The final and arguably most potent ability is that Kimberly can seal Apparitions through her photos by simply taking a picture of them using Artistic Integrity. She has to first battle the Apparition to the point where she can weaken it and then take the photo. Alternatively, she can keep taking photographs of the Apparition until it is sealed. Once sealed, the Apparition will be trapped inside of the picture until it is torn or damaged in any way. Magispheres: These small, spherical orbs appear unassuming at first glance, but upon closer inspection, they reveal themselves to be potent weapons in Kimberly's arsenal. When thrown, the orbs bounce off surfaces with uncanny accuracy before detonating in an explosion of kinetic force. They have enough strength to send a grown man flying, and once they explode, they will return to Kimberly's hands. The Cube: A small, unassuming cube of polished crystal, the Cube is a versatile defensive tool in Kimberly's arsenal. All Kimberly has to do is give it a tap, and it'll generate a shimmering forcefield around her (in the shape of a cube!), and the longer she holds it, the bigger the barrier will get until it can cover several city blocks. However, the larger Kimberly makes the barrier, the more fragile it'll become. Jacob's Revolver: Created by an Orange/Red Adept named (you guessed it) Jacob. Jacob's Revolver is Kimberly's trusted sidearm, a finely crafted revolver with ornate etchings adorning its sleek metal surface. Each weapon chamber automatically imbues a bullet loaded into it with a different elemental property (Fire, earth, electricity, ice, wind, metal, and light). When the bullet hits a person or object, it will create a devastating explosion of that element. However, she sometimes forgets which bullet will shoot first, so sometimes Jacob's gun is more trouble than it's worth. The Agility Ring: A black ring with white runes she keeps around her finger which grants Kimberly unparalleled swiftness and grace. As long as it's on her finger, Kimberly's balance, motor coordination, reflexes, speed, etc, are enhanced to supernatural levels, and she can move with supernatural agility. She can perform leaps, backflips, and runs at insanely high speeds, which is a crucial part of her artifact arsenal. The Emotional-Ring: A blue ring that Kimberly keeps around her fingers which grants her, as you may have guessed, an Emotional-Field. This Emotional-Field has no unique properties or boons; it's a simple Emotional-Field that'll always be up as long as she has the emotional ring on. The Vial: The primary healing tool that Kimberly has that she gained during the fight against Necron. This vial can convert any liquid that is poured inside of it into a potent magical concoction that possesses remarkable healing properties. When poured onto a wound, the liquid seals injuries, mends bones, and restores vitality rapidly. The vial is a precious resource in Kimberly's quest to protect the innocent and vanquish evil, offering aid and comfort to those in need in even the direst of circumstances.
Jordan.Nichols
31 | Jordan Destiny Nichols | She/Her. "I know that things are understood in time... well, I understand that you don't understand."	Description: A native of Philadelphia, Pennslyvania, and Kimberly Walton's best friend and partner in crime! Together, they travel the country and beyond, fighting malevolent Paranormal-Beings and making friends! However, there was a long road until she got to that point. Jordan's story began in the lower-class parts of Philadelphia, and they grew up around plenty of people, family, and friends. Jordan was a bit of a social butterfly. Still, she always wanted the approval of others and did anything to be popular, which meant making stupid decisions such as bullying people - including her own damn family! However, she had one family member that she was close to, whom she treated like a sister! This gal was Madison Brown, and the two were tight and talked and hung out with each other constantly. Once she hit high school, it wasn't long until she became one of the "popular girls," which made her even worse, as she finally got the status and approval she desperately wanted. However, she would do anything to hold onto this status, which did not make her a better person. This experience continued, and Jordan felt she was on top of the world! Until she hit graduation... and the worst day of her life occurred when she, Madison, and her friends went on a hardcore night of debauchery. Jordan was driving them around, drunk off her ass, and on a dare, Jordan ran a light and was hit by another car. The car was sent flying, hit another vehicle, and Jordan was knocked unconscious. Her cousin, Madison, hit her head and died, but Jordan didn't find this out until the following day. Then, her life fell apart as the pain of guilt and loss burdened her. She fell into a pit of depression; her family resented her for the death of Madison, and in her darkest hour, the friends that she worked so hard to get abandoned her. However, Jordan went through her Kindling-Event and developed Purple Lux. She had no clue what to do with it, but after tinkering with it, Jordan developed some spells to travel back in time and undo that traumatic incident. However, she could never get the hang of it... and unfortunately, she was practically exiled from her hometown of Philadelphia to New Braunfels, Texas, and it was one hell of a culture shock. Living in a city where there are a majority of African-Americans to a town that was practically all-white was... something. However, Jordan lived with her cousins there and attended the University of Texas - while developing her spell catalog. Things got weird as murders and other oddities occurred at night; Jordan just shrugged and minded her business. One night, while she stayed up late studying, she was attacked by a group of Abominable that broke into her house. She tried to escape but had no fighting spells in her spell book and was quickly overwhelmed. She thought it was the end before Kimberly came and saved her. At this point, Jordan was oblivious to the more fantastic world of magic, but she felt a sense of appreciation for Kimberly's actions. Thus, she joined Kimberly on her mission to defeat Necron and The Cult of the Midnight Sun and was in the final battle. However, she had developed a friendship with Kimberly and saw Kimberly as one of her steadfast friends. So, out of a sense of friendship, a desire to atone for her actions, and a sense of adventure, she joined Kimberly as the cohost of her Project: Worlds Unknown show! Abstraction: Adept - Purple Lux. Channeler: Madison Brown's Memorial Necklace. Chronomancy: Temporal-Pause: One of the first spells that Jordan had developed was a temporal field around herself in a dome. Everything else is frozen inside this dome, but due to Emotional-Fields, Jordan the Paranormal can move freely inside it. It's a potent spell that can outright negate specific abstractions usages as they will be frozen in time and unable to affect the world. However, Jordan can only keep this spell for up to ten minutes. The field will disappear once the duration is over, and time will resume. Time Reversal: Another Spell that allows Jordan to reverse time in a sphere up to seven meters. In this sphere, Jordan can reverse the time of everything inside that lacks an Emotional-Field. However, Jordan can choose whether or not she is affected by it to heal wounds. Teleportation: By bending time and space, Jordan can teleport herself and others in a sphere to anywhere she can picture. Time Dilation Sphere: A sphere that allows Jordan to either slow down or speed up the time of anything inside of it. Unlike the rest of her spells, she can affect Paranormals and bypass Emotional-Fields - however, this sphere also affects her. This takes immense concentration and effort to use. Telekinesis: A Purple Lux classic, moving objects with her mind. She can move several hundred pounds at a time and fire telekinetic blasts that'll launch a target.

The Society

Morningstar
Eons Old | Morningstar, the Father of Lies | He/Him. "I will plunge the world into darkness for the sake of building a better one."	Description: Considered to be the end-all be all Apparition. Morningstar was an Apparition spawned from both the fear and belief of a Satanic entity and Morningstar lives up to that name. Morningstar is a part of the "Original Sins," a term used to describe a group of ancient malevolent Apparitions such as Hemorhagia, Babylon the Great, etc. However, he is considered the first and most dangerous of them all. He is older than most Apparitions and infamous for his cunning and devious plans. He has destroyed worlds and enslaved millions; he has been sealed, used as an Agent, and broken free several times over - and he was stopped several times. Very few would be willing to work with Morningstar, however unlike most Apparitions,, his plans are less overt and more subtle. He prefers to gather power in secret and enact his plans from the shadows. Which describes his takeover of Mirage Spring's supernatural scene well. The Society started as one minor faction in a city entire of them, but Morningstar gained followers in different factions and eventually took them over one by one. Killing anyone who opposed him and did not have the sense to flee Mirange Springs when they had the chance. Now, he sits on top of the city as a king. However, he has plans that have the Hound worried, and his Society has the power and influence to give them the potential to become a multiversal threat. Morningstar has abscised a poor sucker after tricking him out of his body, and he rarely makes personal appearances. Morningstar always prefers to have one of his minions do his dirty work, whether it's a grunt in The Society or The Endless Seven. Abstraction: Unknown.
Mala'Boolaan
2,504 | Mala'Boolaan, the Walking Massacre. | He/Him. "You may escape Morningstar, but you shall not escape I!"	Description: The monstrous and hulking Mala'Boolaan. A member of the Endless Seven, Mala'Boolaan is less of a general and more of a bodyguard and enforcer for Morningstar and the rest of the Endless Seven. He is a feared face in the streets of Mirage Springs, as he has torn many of Morningstar's enemies limb from limb. If somebody dares confront Morningstar, they will face the wrath and hellish strength of Mala'Boolaan, considered his most potent and vicious fighter. However, Mala'Boolaan began life as one of Morningstar's first minions and was considered a failure. Despite his strength, Mala'Boolaan lacked intelligence (he could hardly speak!) and was cast away. However, this made Mala'Boolaan angry, and he confronted Morningstar... who threw him into The Pit for his actions. Mala'Boolaan did not give up, making him angrier as he went on a rage-fueled rampage and ripped apart anyone that got in his way, human and Abyssal Hunter alike. Eventually, Mala'Boolaan fought out of the Pit alone through brutality and anger, clawing his way out, and continued his rampage through the All-Verse. His rampage was so vicious and brutal that he earned the title of The Walking Massacre. He eventually ended up in Shimmer after tearing the barriers between dimensions open and in Mirage Springs. He found that the Society had dug its roots in the city, and Mala'Boolaan had fought his way to the top! He was eventually confronted by The Endless Seven and killed two members of it on his way to Morningstar. Here, Morningstar convinced Mala'Boolaan to forgive his rage and stand down... and offered him a spot on the Endless Seven. After all, he proved himself to be far from defective, and two spots opened. Thus, from then on, Mala'Boolaan has torn apart anyone who dared confront his new master, Morningstar. Abstraction: Abominable - Hellish Feats of Strength. An incredibly formidable and powerful fighter... to begin, Mala'Boolaan is strong. He possesses immense strength that puts him on par with some of the strongest Paranormal-Beings out there, and he has the strength to tear apart whoever is beneath him. He's just as durable and resilient as well, and he can keep fighting even if he sustains comical amounts of damage. Not only that, but he is capable of charging through opponents with his enhanced strength and speed. He is so strong that he can open portals by tearing reality apart. Mala'Boolaan also possesses an off-pyrokinetic ability that allows him to surround himself in fire and create glowing cracks in the ground that spew fire.

The Mirage Springs PRA Office

Vanessa.&.Clementine.Washington
26 | Clementine Ethel & Vanessa Sierra Washington | She/Her "The world is a mess." "And somebody's gotta keep it tidy."	Description: They are Known as the "Clones" for a reason that shouldn't be hard to guess. To the surprise of no one, they were born identical twins in Houston, Texas. However, they moved to St. Portwell, Oregon, before entering first grade. They had a relatively modest life; they were inseparable from one another. Clementine was always the wiser head of the pair, while Vanessa was always the bruiser that took nobody's shit. They grew up next door to the famous Adora Phoenix-Prescott, and the three formed a trio, with Adora ironically being the shortest but the loudest and most outspoken compared to the more chill twins. The three were always in the popular crowd, but their familiar love of Adora and sense of morality kept them straight and narrow, even if peer pressure would push them in other directions. Life was typical for the twins; they were gold gymnasts in St. Portwell High and were otherwise very pleasant. However, one day, the tone in St. Portwell flipped like a switch; people were dying in boatloads, and other strange events were happening. Their best friend Adora, naturally, had all the answers: The Stygian Snake had attacked St. Portwell, and she was part of a Coven dedicated to stopping it. The rings that her grandfather gave her on his deathbed were some of the most powerful artifacts in the multiverse. The twins scoffed until Adora convinced them to put it on... and it was true. The twins joined the Sycamore Tree Coven and were known as the "Trinity" and fought the Stygian Snake and its strongest minions like it was nothing. They were famous powerhouses in the Old Coven whose strength made them too valuable to get rid of, so the Old Coven had to look past Adora's antics. The twins tried to temper Adora, but despite their best efforts, she would do as she pleased... thankfully, it was mostly going after the assholes in the Old Coven. However, everything changed during the final battle, and Lisa was killed in front of Trinity. Adora was catatonic, and despite their best efforts, they had no choice but to take Adora out of the final battle. After the Stygian Snake was defeated, Adora left the Coven but took her ring, leaving the other two completely useless. Despite it all, they remained in the Old Coven as long as they could until it got unbearably toxic, and they had no choice but to leave the Coven. On the way out, they dropped the last two Trinity Rings off to Sloane, and a few months later, they moved across the country to Washington, DC. The twins briefly drifted apart after completing high school, as Clementine and Vanessa went to college for Criminal Justice and Physical Education. After giving themselves mountains of student loan debt, Clementine ended up in the CIA, and Vanessa became a gymnastics instructor at a private high school in Miami. However, after a supernatural event where a ghost tried to eat her, PRA saved Clementine, who roped her into them. Clementine missed the supernatural adventures she had in the Old Coven, so joining them was a no-brainer - in addition, she wanted to help the community more than she could in the PRA. Eventually roping in Vanessa, who wanted more than to teach snotnosed brats, the two were inseparable, going from place to place over the years... and the two got promoted to Senior Agent after the Lighthouse Incident where a lot of spaces opened up. Since they got promoted, Clementine was the Acting Regional commander of the Mirage Springs Office. Abstraction: Clementine: Agent - The Lantern. An artifact the PRA 'acquired' due to dubious means inside a nameless Apparition is trapped inside. Clementine has no clue where it came from, what it is, or how it works, but as long as she keeps that Lantern at her hip, she can conjure solid constructs of light, shaping them into any form she desires with her mind alone. These constructs are made out of wavy blue energy that constantly flows as long as it's manifested. Whether crafting weapons to defend herself or creating tools to aid her allies, Clementine can craft practically anything if it's not too big or complex of a mechanism. Vanessa: Agent - The Tyrant Destroyer I & II. Another artifact that the PRA gifted Vanessa in her early days of Agency is the legendary Tyrant Destroyer I & II. The Tyrant Destroyers are a series of seven weapons designed to eliminate the most ruthless dictators and oppressors. The Tyrant Destroyer I & II is a set of right and left-handed gauntlets that give Clementine unparalleled strength and durability determined by their bravery and ability to resist oppression and stand up for others. Vanessa's level allows her to stop a speeding car with a single punch and get thrown through walls like it was nothing. However, the Tyrant Destroyers I & II have a secondary ability; they can inspire and boost the strength and confidence of those around them. By raising one of her fists and sharing motivational words, the people nearby wounds are healed, their abstractions and physical abilities boosted, and they feel braver and confident.
'Rush'.Chertok
31 | Dexter Harold Chertok | He/Him "My calculations? They're never wrong."	Description: Callsign: Rush. Rush is an oddity in the PRA regarding demeanor, appearance, personality, and more. But, before he was Rush, he was Dexter, who grew up in Tampa, Florida, alongside his best friend Rey Gomez. The two have been friends for as long as they can remember despite being opposites in personality. They grew up outcasts; they were so isolated that not even the other more niche cliques wanted anything to do with them! Rush grew up in a relatively poor household (his father got into a car accident and fell into a coma) as a boy with insane intelligence, creativity, talent, and, above all else, talent. So, as anyone in a bad situation with little money and insane talent could, he got some skills and made money. He did many hustles, such as providing the answers to other students for money, hacking into systems for cash, and more. Rey was at his side as a bodyguard, but things got strange when they got introduced to the world of magic. His father passed despite desperately clinging to life, and the sheer grief caused Dexter to undergo his Kindling-Event and discover his White Lux. It was an exciting discovery, and after experimenting with some spells, Dexter could upgrade his hustles from simple schoolyard hustle to grander and more illegal things. Rush was like a junior-rain man as he used his White Lux to predict how sports events and more could go, and bet for it and win so much money. However, it wasn't long until the PRA caught onto their trail, and then the two were brought in for questioning... and were shanghaied into joining the PRA. Rey wasn't happy with it, but Dexter was just fine. The two were inseparable in the PRA as they entered supernatural shenanigans such as the infamous Lighthouse Incident. Eventually, the two landed in Mirage Springs, where Dexter got promoted to Senior Agent. Dexter is a peculiar-looking man: he has a head of curly hair and glasses and has a strange inflection and monotone in his voice as he speaks. He is short in stature but makes up for it in reason and logic and often follows logic even when it is disadvantageous. Abstraction: Adept - White Lux. Channeler: Favorite Robot toy. Probabilistic Prognostication: Rush's primary spell delves into probability, which gives him the ability to see possible outcomes and the factors that influence them. He can determine the most likely outcome accurately with this spell, but it is sometimes unreliable. Spatial Mapping: Rush employs this spell to accurately map out landscapes or structures. By channeling his White Lux, he projects a magical aura that interacts with his surroundings, allowing him to visualize the terrain in his mind. He gains information on every contour, elevation change, and landmark - he will know whatever is in the area. Strategic Forecasting: Leveraging his analytical prowess, Rush uses this spell to anticipate his adversaries' movements and formulates efficient strategies to outmaneuver them. He understands his opponent's capabilities, techniques, and vulnerabilities by tapping into the infinite information his White Lux grants him and automatically gets a counter strategy. Linguistic Decipher: Aka Code Talker. Harnessing White Lux's power, Rush automatically understands any language, from modern dialects to ancient tongues and cryptic messages. Rush transcends the barriers of time and culture, gaining unparalleled access to the accumulated wisdom and knowledge of countless civilizations throughout history. This spell bestows upon him the ability to comprehend and communicate in any language, past or present (maybe future). Insightful Projection: This spell allows Rush to create a form of holographic projection that depict gathered information and analyses to others. With this spell, Rush can project visualizations of complex data analyses into the surrounding space. Rush can share his insights and findings with others through these holographic displays.
Rey.Gomez
30 | Rey Gomez | He/Him "Time to get to work."	Description: The stoic and mysterious partner to Rush. Rey always had a tough childhood; he grew up in the rough neighborhoods in Tampa, Florida, and despite his best attempts, he just never fit in with them. Even though Rey always wanted a friend, he sabotaged his attempts and pushed people away. When he didn't push them away, he never had excellent social skills, and certain things flew over his head, or he just said the wrong thing at the wrong time. So, it seemed Rey was destined for a lonely life of being a Reddit Moderator... until he met his best friend, Dexter, and the two have been together for as long as they could remember. Being the brawn to Rush/Dexter's brains. While not the biggest, Rey always had a stern demeanor and could fight; he never let anyone put their hands on his friend, from childhood to high school, to adulthood, to being PRA Agents. Rey is a Puerto Rican man who stands at five-seven and is well-built; he usually keeps sunglasses on. Abstraction: Adjoined - Telekinetic-Shadow. A gift and Abstraction passed down from his mother - the Telekinetic Shadow is a nameless and seemingly personality-less Apparition that mirrors the host's appearance to every last detail. The Telekinetic Shadow allows Rey to generate telekinetic replicas of his limbs, which mirror his movements like a ghostly extension of himself that glows a deep shade of azure, their transparency adding an eerie quality to their manifestation. Whether he throws a punch or executes any motion, these telekinetic appendages mimic his actions exactly. They can materialize in exact proportions to his limbs or shrink to minuscule proportions, even swell to monumental dimensions akin to an 18-wheeler, and their power correlates to their size. He can summon two giant limbs or dozens of smaller ones simultaneously.
Jacob.Stauber
29 | Jacob Ethan Stauber | He/Him "I'm not going to end up the sore one here, at least not again."	Description: Trouble-maker from Seattle, Washington, who grew up in a poorer neighborhood... His father was a blue-collar worker who got his business mysteriously destroyed in an earthquake (Aka. a Paranormal attack), and he was forced to work in a warehouse on the docks. Thus, Jacob grew up in a trailer park and played the guitar to drown out his parents, arguing nonstop. His parents didn't give a shit about him, and thus the young Jacob acted out, usually hanging out with the wrong kids, stealing, doing, and selling weed by the time he was in high school. However, the Stauber family hit another lousy spot when their breadwinner, Daddy Stauber, was killed by some drug addict in a robbery gone wrong. That was when things started going to shit; the bills began piling up, and soon, strange men were rotating in and out of his mother's bedroom every other. Things were shitty, and the sheer bullshit of it all made Jacob undergo his Kindling-Event - activating Purple & Pink Lux. That was when the shitbag Jacob elevated and developed spells to help him rob, cheat, and steal his way out of poverty... and unfortunately, he left his family in the dust. He didn't want or need them, so he dropped them like dead weight. Jacob robbed banks, jewelry stores, and more, and he was a rich man. He was not very smart, as the Seattle PRA Office caught onto him and captured him in a sting operation. Even though they had every right (and reason) to toss Jacob into jail, they gave him an offer: work for the PRA or rot in prison. Now, Jacob thought this deal was bullshit and did not want to be fed, but he wanted to be a prison bitch even less, so he accepted the offer, and soon enough, he was whisked away to the PRA training facility in Prince George County, Virginia. However, he realized how inefficient, chaotic, and poorly run the PRA was and that old habits died hard, so Jacob became a crooked agent. He abused his power every chance he could get away with it, scammed people, made dirty deals, and robbed innocents and criminals of their possessions while clocking into work and looking like a good boy every morning. Unfortunately, things changed after the Lighthouse Incident, and there was a mass reshuffling of the Agency, and he went from Seattle to Mirage Springs. Things were well until a particular member of a specific organization named Dr. Cross contacted him, who got him in contact with Morningstar. He made Jacob a deal: join The Society, use the PRA resources against the Society's enemies, and get some extra money. And with a deal like that, how could Jacob say no? Abstraction: Adept - Purple & Pink Lux. Channeler: Favorite Lighter. Chrono-Splice: Jacob can rewind time for a brief moment, undoing recent events or mistakes. This spell gives him a second chance to correct errors, avoid danger, or alter the course of events to his advantage. Memory Shroud: WJacob can cloud individuals' memories, obscuring and hiding specific events or details. He can selectively alter their memories by touching his target and/or implanting false ones. This spell completely bypasses Emotional-Fields but requires touch. Empathic Distortion: This spell grants Jacob the ability to sense and manipulate the emotions of those around him. He can influence his target behavior and decision-making by inducing fear, trust, or doubt to further his goals. This spell works perfectly on those without an Emotional-Field but requires some work to penetrate one. Psychic Diversion: Psychic Diversion enables Jacob to create convincing illusions and hallucinations in the minds of his adversaries, distracting them and causing confusion. This Spell bypasses Emotional-Fields. Psychic Shield: This spell alters Jacob's Emotional-Field to completely shut out a specific form of magic, shielding him from mental intrusion or manipulation by other psychics. It's on 24/7, and this spell deflects psychic intrusion and prevents his thoughts and memories from being read or otherwise tampered with. Blink-Step: Blink-Step allows Jacob to teleport short distances instantaneously, disappearing from one spot and reappearing in another in the blink of an eye. Temporal Rift: A spell that Jack devised as a backup plan in case things with the Society go to shit. Temporal Rift creates a temporary portal to another dimension by stepping through the rift. With this spell, he can escape danger, explore uncharted territories, or access alternate realities where new opportunities await!

Other NPCs

'Lupe'.Sánchez

30 | Guadalupe Sánchez | She/Her "Show the world what you're made of, mami!"

Description: Just call her Lupe! Native of Xalapa, Mexico, she spent her formative years in the beautiful city... until she was around ten when her parents decided to immigrate to the USA, seeing it as a place with better opportunities and a safer place for their daughter. It was a culture shock, and the punches kept coming when her two twin brothers, Diego and Alejandro, were born. There was a world of difference between the twins and Lupe; by the time they were five, she was entering high school and was busy trying to find her way in the world. Naturally, being a pretty girl who was always personable, she always fit in with the popular gals and was a famous face in the party scenes. Eventually, she graduated high school and... didn't know what she wanted to do with her life. She loved partying and living but wanted to do something more, and naturally, Lupe just buried the feeling by partying more. Once she was in her late twenties, she decided to go to college to become a nurse; better late than never, she told herself. She didn't want to take out loans, nor did her parents want to support her anymore, so she, unfortunately, had to become a stripper! She loved it; she was pretty, a great dancer, and had a personality, so it came naturally to her. However, it was around this time when Lupe's two little brothers got inducted into the gang culture and soon enough became a part of one of the local gangs, the Spanish Reapers. Lupe loved her two little brothers even though they had nothing in common, but she desperately tried everything she could to get them out of the gang lifestyle - even throwing her dreams in the garbage to save them. Soon, Lupe discovered something about the Spanish Reapers - they were a gang of all-Paranormals. Now, Lupe didn't have any clue about magic and thought it was bullshit; even when the two showed her, she still didn't believe it. However, when The Society came to take over Mirage Springs, the Spanish Reapers were defiant. Unfortunately, the Spanish Reapers didn't fit Morningstar's script, so he had them wiped out by Mala'Boolaan and Gomander, which included her two little brothers, who were brutally killed by the two Endless Seven. The event sent Lupe into a depressive spiral, making her undergo a Kindling-Event as her life fell apart before her eyes. Once she exited the spiral, she wanted revenge, and joined the Society, patiently waiting for her opportunity to avenge her brothers. Lupe is a pureblooded Mexican woman who is a little bit taller than average (for Mexicans) at five-four. She is curvy with a head of head and one hell of a smile, and she's all about living life to its fullest. Abstraction: Adept - Red, Green, & Purple Lux. Channeler: Memorial Necklace for Diego and Alejandro. Neon-Projection The parent spell for Lupe's ability to manipulate Fire, Light, and Electricity. Neon-Fire: Lupe conjures a hot pink flame that burns with mesmerizing brilliance, creating a particular glow. With a snap of her fingers, she can summon forth these radiant flames that consume all in their path and make them anywhere on her body. Neon-Lights: Lupe conjures neon light beams out of her hands that slice through the air with precision and grace. These vibrant lasers burn the air, leaving trails of dazzling color in their wake as they seek out their targets with unerring accuracy. At the same time, being fabulous! Neon-Electricity: Lupe commands torrents of electrified brilliance to stun foes with electrifying blasts, manipulating the very currents of electricity itself. This electricity glows a hot pink color and has an ethereal glow. Neon Dash: Lupe, utilizing a mixture of Green, Purple, and Red Lux, transforms into a fireball imbued with light and electricity. In this form, Lupe propels herself forward in a fabulous burst of speed, leaving behind a trail of vibrant light as she travels as fast as cars. Neon-Healing: Drawing upon the rejuvenating properties of Green-Lux, Lupe channels a healing light to mend wounds. With a touch, her friends are bathed in a neon glow, accelerating their natural healing processes with radiant energy. Neon-Portation Exploding in a blast of light, fire, and electricity, Lupe bends space and time to transport herself or others instantaneously to a different location. She cannot teleport too far, like a few blocks away, and she has to be familiar with the area.

Contained Threats

Stygian.Snake
Eons Old | The Stygian Snake | It/Its "̸̡̜̑͂G̶̟̓͛ī̶̟̇v̷̗͐̌e̶̫̅ ̵̡̤̐i̵̯͔͐̈́n̶̛̝̗̏ ̷͈̋t̶̺͕̐͠o̵̲̓ͅ ̶̡̣̾ÿ̴̥́ͅṍ̴̪͖u̴̩̣̚r̶̨̛̪̓ ̴̠͘ï̷̳̅n̴̯̹̑̈́n̷̟͐͘ë̴̪r̴̮̄̔ ̷̡̳̎d̶͈̟͒a̷̺͇̐̊r̸͓͂̀k̵̦͚̉'̷͚̑͘s̴͇̟̃ ̸͈́̎e̸̖͓͑̓m̵̰͆͜͠b̵͎͛͑r̵̞͗à̴̬c̸̭͛̕ẽ̶̬̺̓.̶̩́"̷͚̈́"	Description: The terror of St. Portwell over ten years ago, the Stygian Snake was an ancient Apparition created by the proverbial (and poetic!) darkness in the hearts of humankind. Their hatred, fear, rage, sins, and violence made an amalgamation known as the Stygian Snake. Spawning during ancient times, it terrorized several different dimensions before moving on to the next one (either by wiping them out or being driven off), spreading awareness of it and thus making it stronger. By the point where it arrived in St. Portwell, it was near invincible, and very few could even contend with it. Every night, it appeared in St. Portwell and terrorized the city. Their only hope was Black Lux, but even that wasn't too effective against the Snake. The Stygian Snake's goals were simple: to drive as many people to darkness as possible and sow as much chaos as possible, creating as many Apparitions and Thralls as possible. On the day of an Eclipse, the Snake would reach its peak power and homogenize with all its Apparitions and Thralls across every universe. Thus, ascending to Godhood and plunging every universe into darkness, and there was no telling what would happen after that. However, the Stygian Snake's actions led to the rise of the Sycamore Tree Coven, who banded together to defeat the Apparition. After several battles against The Stygian Snake, the Coven acquired artifacts to weaken it and finally defeated the Stygian Snake. They sealed the Apparition in their namesake Sycamore Tree, which remained there for over ten years and ideally for all of time. However, the Snake wants to continue its rampage, and with another eclipse on the horizon, it was the perfect time for it to break out and begin anew... Abstraction: Apparition - Devil-Snake. Easily the most potent Apparition across the entire All-Verse, the Stygian Snake is a being that reached heights that could allow it to threaten several universes simultaneously. It had several different abilities relating to darkness or the human mind. By default, it was powerful, could heal fast, was durable, and could shrug off even the strongest attacks and flatten buildings with its body. Its primary tool was its ability to manipulate darkness - creating inky-black constructs on a macro scale and creating tools, barriers, limbs, etc. These constructs were incredibly durable and robust and allowed it to battle the entire Sycamore Tree Coven at the same time. Its secondary ability was a psionic ability that allowed it to enter minds and enthrall them if they did not have an Emotional-Field. However, even on the Paranormal, it could read their thoughts and plant seeds of doubt and mistrust, which allowed it to outpace the Coven. It also had an illusion-casting ability to make the Sycamore Tree Coven attack each other, distract them, and damage their mental state. Seeing into its mind was incredibly dangerous as it allowed the Stygian Snake to enthrall them, bypassing their Emotional-Field completely. Otherwise, the Stygian Snake was impervious to most mental or emotional abstractions. The Stygian Snake's tertiary ability was manipulating the flow of time in darkness or shadows, which could either speed up or slow down time. Unlike most abstractions, this ability bypassed Emotional-Fields, and it was arguably its most dangerous ability when facing it head-on. As it slowed down, the Sycamore Tree Coven often either used this time to escape or land a killing blow - and they were helpless to stop it. However, it could only apply this effect to one area at a time. Its quaternary ability was to create Apparitions and Abominable based on the victims around it, such as creating monsters that reflect people's fear and summoning an undead version of someone's loved one. It could summon an entire army if given enough time, and the Sycamore Tree Coven had to contend with that and the Stygian Snake's raw power. As a subset ability, it could summon Apparitions from other dimensions that were malevolent and darkness-themed. Its quinary ability, and most challenging to deal with, was dimensional travel. It could open a portal in the darkness between shadows and travel from one point to another - which could be in a different dimension altogether. The Stygian Snake used this ability to escape when it was being pinned down or travel to another dimension where it was nighttime so it could terrorize a different universe until the sun rose. On the day of the eclipse, it tried to merge with all the Apparitions and Thralls it had created, and its already immense power would rise to God-like levels. Who knows what would happen after that, but it was thankfully defeated by the Sycamore Tree Coven with the help of the Apparition Killer. Its only known weakness was that it would only be at a tenth of its power level during the day. It overcame this weakness by teleporting to other dimensions where it was nighttime.
The.Great.Maw
Eons old | The Great Maw | He/Him "All will become part of my dominion."	Description: The Great Maw is a terrifying Aberration-Abominable, monstrous entity that instills fear across the All-Verse. His origins are unknown, but it's been recorded to have been around since creation itself. The Great Maw's appearance is a nightmarish blend of dragon and demon. Its massive, serpentine body is covered in obsidian-like scales, with veins of molten lava coursing through them. Its presence is accompanied by an oppressive heat, making the air around it shimmer and distort. Towering above its victims, the Great Maw is a living embodiment of fire and destruction, a creature born to incinerate and annihilate. Throughout the All-Verse, the Great Maw wreaked havoc, leaving behind a trail of scorched earth and ruined civilizations. It sired many sons with human women, creating a powerful, fire-wielding offspring lineage. Despite its destructive rampage, the Accordance managed to subdue the Great Maw. They bound the Great Maw and cast it into the Pit using immense magical chains forged from hundreds of Orange-Adepts across the All-Verse. There it remains, creating a firey hellscape around it, where only the brave enter. Abstraction: Abominable - Dominion The Great Maw's Abstraction, known as the Dominion, grants it unparalleled control over fire and heat, making it a force of unprecedented destruction. Its most devastating attack is the ability to shoot beams of heat so intense that they instantly vaporize anything in its path. These beams are a concentrated manifestation of the Great Maw's fiery power, capable of cutting through the most rigid materials and reducing entire structures to slag in seconds. Beyond these beams, the Great Maw can manipulate fire at the macro level. This ability allows it to summon and control massive infernos, create towering pillars of flame, and even conjure firestorms that can engulf entire cities. The Great Maw can precisely shape and direct these flames or unleash them in a chaotic, all-consuming blaze. Its control over fire extends to manipulating temperature, enabling it to create areas of intense heat that can incinerate anything within its radius. The Great Maw also possesses extraordinary physical strength and durability, making it a formidable opponent in combat. Its scales are nearly indestructible, capable of withstanding the most powerful attacks. This near-impenetrable hide, combined with its immense size and strength, allows it to crush and demolish any obstacle. The Great Maw can easily tear through buildings, rend the earth, and overpower even the most resilient foes. In addition to its pyrotechnic abilities and physical prowess, the Great Maw can create portals. These portals can connect different dimensions or instantaneously transport the Great Maw and its minions across vast distances. It's teleportation is also powerful enough to allow it to enter and escape the Pit and Void at will.

The sheer destruction and violent emotions of trillions of beings across multiple worlds merged into a single, nightmarish Apparition: The Rampage. The Rampage embodies the collective fury and violence of the Crimson War and begins its crusade across the All-Verse, annihilating everything in its path. The Rampage's appearance is terrifying: a towering figure wreathed in flames, its skin a dense, fiery red armor that seems to pulse with malevolent energy. It has blazing eyes that burn with an insatiable rage, massive horns jutting from its head, and claws capable of rending through the most rigid materials. The Rampage's presence is marked by an aura of intense heat, making the air shimmer and distorting light around it. Its very form is a constant reminder of the devastation it represents, a living embodiment of the cataclysmic Crimson War. When the war finally ended, the survivors from various dimensions realized they had created an unstoppable force. The Rampage's destructive power seemed limitless, and its rampage across the All-Verse was legendary. The Rampage was finally subdued and trapped in the Pit by the All-Blade. A coalition of All-Verse's greatest champions managed to weaken The Rampage and use the All-Blade to seal it within the Pit, at the cost of most of their lives. The Rampage's legend has spread across the All-Verse, symbolizing destruction and rage. Its name alone strikes fear into the hearts of those who remember the Crimson War and the devastation it wrought. Even in the Pit, The Rampage's influence can be felt, and many fear the day it might escape its prison and resume its rampage. Abstraction: Apparition - Fury. The Rampage possesses several formidable abilities that make it one of the most feared entities in the All-Verse. Its primary ability is accelerating to blinding speeds, turning into a crimson blur. This Charge, upon stopping, releases a massive explosion of destructive energy, devastating everything within a several city-block radius. This explosion generates intense heat and concussive force, capable of obliterating structures and causing severe damage to anything within its range. In addition to its speed, The Rampage has immense strength and durability. It can crush mountains with its fists and tank even the strongest Paranormal attacks. The Rampage can also generate seismic shockwaves by stomping the ground, creating massive chasms and volcanic eruptions. The Rampage's rage fuels its regenerative capabilities, allowing it to heal from injuries rapidly. This regeneration makes destroying it incredibly difficult, as it can recover from nearly any attack. The Rampage can also unleash a thunderous roar, its most destructive attack. This roar can shatter buildings, symbolizing the collective rage of all who died in the Crimson War. The roar's shockwave is so powerful that it can level entire city blocks, leaving a path of destruction in its wake. Furthermore, The Rampage can tear open rifts between dimensions, allowing it to travel from one dimension to another with ease, and this portal creation is so potent it can enter and escape the Pit and Void freely.

The Three Calamities

DREADNAUGHT.
??? | Dreadnaught | He/It "Down deep, there slumbers him who marred the sky. Harbinger, Dross-Drowned Angel, we mourn. We weep for the anchor upon your lungs, for we know it will rust when you awake." - Songs of the Calamites, Verses of the Salt-Eater @Blizz	Description: The Dreadnaught is one of the Three Calamities, nigh-unstoppable incarnations of destruction that have terrorized distant worlds for a long, long time. Among them, the Dreadnaught is the biggest and most powerful, dwarfing its sibling like ants dwarfed by a mountain. It stands at exactly one thousand feet tall, in the shape of a human being with emancipated muscles racing uo and down skeletal limbs. Crags of corroded metals jut out from its body fused together with bones like armor. Blades in the shape of axes shear through its chest, and crown the monsters head like a crown. One cannot tell where uncanny flesh ends and twisted metal begins, but when he rises, someone dies. Throughout human history, the Calamities have brought ruin and despair to every place they stumbled upon, and the Dreadnaught is no different. In a world known as Sparkle, all thee of the Calamities were worshipped as gods, revered by a now-dead doomsday cult. Many believed that the Calamities, true to their name, would be the end of all things material in this world, that they would shatter Heaven and Earth alike, and build a new world for the scarce few they showed mercy on. Of course, this prophecy never came true, but the Dreadnaught and its siblings are still out there, laying waste to places that none will hear the screams of. Abstraction: Abominable - The Long Flood. The Dreadnaught rises from the deepest recesses of an ocean, and draws on the power of stolen magic to lay waste to all that oppose it. His Abstraction is the ability to devour artifacts, and absorb their Abstractions to permanently become stronger. Every artifact that it comes across is eaten alive, and part of the Dreadnaught. Having devoured millions of them, he is far beyond the level of most paranormal entities. The countless Abstractions that it has taken coalesce and solidify into each other, based on how similar they are, and making wholly new Abstractions out of them. The Dreadnaught’s first and most feared ability is the Siren’s Light. When he opens his jaws to howl, the air fills with a sound like an air raid siren, loud enough to vibrate organs and induce nausea. A sickly yellow light manifests in its jaws, and fires out in a beam of energy that can strike a target from miles away. The Siren’s Light vaporizes everything that it comes into contact with, from mundane matter to the most powerful defenses in the All-Verse, and it permanently ruins the Emotional-Field of anything that somehow has the misfortune of surviving. The Siren’s Light spreads once it is used, leaking into the environment like nuclear fallout and poising all that tries to live off of the land. Nothing can survive in the wake of the Siren’s Light. The Dreadnaught’s second power is the Cold Iron, a magic substance that grows from its body and represents ordinary iron. Bitter cold to anyone who makes physical contact with the Dreadnaught, the Cold Iron is what consumes the Abstractions of artifacts, draining them of all paranormal influence and corroding them like saltwater. This does not work quite the same way on Adepts or Aberrants, but it does weaken them, escalating to a point that their Abstraction may never recover if they are affected too long. This is a problem because the Cold Iron flakes off of Dreadnaught like dead skin, and carries on the wind like leaves. Any paranormal entity who touches the Cold Iron will suffer its effect. Its third power is the Abstraction Eternal Wrath. The Dreadnought’s body consists of thousands of artifacts, many of them would have granted a wielded some form of physical Abstraction, and all of them commingled into one inside the Calamity’s body. The Dreadnaught can survive at the bottom of an ocean, under crushing pressure that no living thing could normally withstand, where it rests and lies dormant. Some scholars over the last few centuries have theorized that the Dreadnaught can open portals into other worlds by flooding them. Aside from this, its body can survive damage from many of the most powerful Abstractions in the All-Verse, from a direct hit with Punishment itself to a blow to the face from the Hero’s Gauntlet. These things will simply bounce right off its face as if they never happened, and if something can do any significant damage, the Dreadnaught will simply draw from its countless plunder of Abstractions to heal itself.
THE.FLORAL.WREATH
??? | The Floral Wreath | It/Its "̶͚͘"̶̘͋"̸͙͓̾"̸͔̳̽"̶̰͝"̷̡̪̑̔"̵̓̏ͅ"̸̡̮͌"̸̙̌"̸̖̚"̵̠̞̈́"̵̻͉̚"̶̭͍̑"̷̩̫̈́̉"̸̛͈̣̀"̵͕̓̔"̵̼̪̏̈"̷̼̺͂"̴̧̂̓"̷̺͆͆	Description: One of the Calamities. The Floral Wreath is a nightmarish creation born from the twisted experiments of a mad scientist across multiple dimensions. Originally designed as a botanical marvel, it quickly spiraled out of control, gaining sentience and developing a hunger for domination. The Floral Wreath's appearance varies as it adapts to different environments. Still, its core features include vines that writhe and pulse, flowers that bloom with toxic pollen, and roots that burrow deep into the earth, spreading its influence like a plague. As it spreads through dimensions, the Floral Wreath leaves behind a wake of overgrown vegetation and mutated landscapes. Its presence is marked by the rapid growth of invasive plants that choke out native flora, transforming once vibrant worlds into verdant nightmares. The air around it becomes thick with the scent of pollen, carrying its mind-altering spores that infect and mutate living organisms into twisted, plant-like hybrids under its control. Abstraction: Abominable - Overgrowth. The Floral Wreath's Abstraction grants it unparalleled control over plant life and the ability to spread and mutate vegetation rapidly. Its primary ability is large-scale manipulation of plants and soil, allowing it to reshape landscapes, create jungles overnight, and create flora that towers over cities. It can animate plants as its minions, from small vines to towering tree-like guardians that protect its domain. One of its most dangerous is a virus that every plant it generates is infected with. This virus alters their victim's biology, merging them with plants and enhancing their physical capabilities while enslaving them to the Floral Wreath's will. The infected become part of its ever-expanding army, spreading its influence further with each converted creature. This Virus can bypass Emotional-Fields to an extent - the Paranormal can stave off its effects, but over time, it will be dominated by the Floral Wreath if they are not treated/cured. The Floral Wreath's presence corrupts ecosystems, turning them into extensions of its twisted garden. It can produce toxic pollen clouds that induce vivid hallucinations or even outright kill through suffocation. Instead of conventional teleportation, the Floral Wreath burrows deep into the ground, tunneling through dimensions to emerge elsewhere either in the same dimension or another world in the All-Verse. This travel method leaves tunnel-like portals that bloom with its invasive plant life upon exit, marking its presence in new realms.
The.Vulture
??? | The Vulture | It/Is *Screech*	Description: The Vulture is one of the Three Calamities, formidable beings of destruction that roam the All-Verse, leaving devastation in their wake. The Vulture is a nightmarish fusion of bird and beast, with colossal wings that blot out the sun, feathers like dark steel, and glowing eyes. Its body is a grotesque abomination of skeletal remains and decayed flesh, perpetually decaying and renewing. Its shadow brings a sense of dread as it soars from dimension to dimension. It is drawn to places steeped in death, from ancient battlefields to mass graves, where it feeds on the energy of the deceased and grows even more powerful. The Vulture's passage is marked by a resurgence of the dead, who claw their way out of the earth to serve their new master. Abstraction: Abominable - Deathstorm. The Vulture's Abstraction grants it unparalleled control over death and decay. With each beat of its colossal wings, the Vulture summons winds that carry necrotic energy that reanimates corpses, transforming them into twisted, degraded versions of their former selves. The resurrected dead are not mere shambling zombies; they are imbued with necrotic energy that enhances their strength and ferocity, making them formidable opponents. If a Paranormal-Being is resurrected, they retain the ability to use their Abstraction, adding to the Vulture's already immense power. The Vulture’s power to raise the dead is not confined by time. It can call forth those who perished centuries ago and the recently deceased, drawing them from their graves and into its service. This resurrection has no known limit, allowing the Vulture to amass vast armies of the undead wherever it goes. The Vulture can sense the presence of death across dimensions and draws it to areas where death is most prevalent, such as ancient battlefields, mass graves, or disaster sites. Wherever there is death, the Vulture follows, ensuring it is never without a supply of corpses to reanimate. In addition, its colossal wings, made of feathers like steel, allow it to soar through the skies with incredible speed and agility. These wings are not just for flight; with a mighty flap, the Vulture can generate destructive waves of air, capable of toppling buildings and tearing through the most formidable defenses. These air blasts are imbued with the same necrotic energy that fuels its resurrection winds, causing anything they touch to decay and reanimate any dead within its path. Despite the Vulture's potent necromancy, its physical capabilities are as equally frightening. Its body is solid and durable, a grotesque amalgamation of skeletal remains and decayed flesh. It can withstand immense damage, shrugging off all but the most potent Paranormal attacks. In addition, the Vulture can teleport between dimensions. Instead of conventional teleportation, the Vulture traverses dimensions through an eerie black storm cloud that blooms with necromantic energy. This ethereal storm cloud serves as a conduit between dimensions, swirling with dark energies that resonate with the essence of death itself.
