@Hedgehawk

revised her again. let me know what you think

Helen Alcantara v3.0

Helen Alcantara-Williams

---

"Do you want me to help you face your fear?"

---

Name: Helen Alcantara-Williams
Gender: Female
Age: 22
Nationality: Filipino
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Family:

• Harry Alcantara-Williams - older brother
• Paulene Alcantara- mother
• Richard Williams- father

Witch or Warlock: Warlock
School of Magic: Necromancy (8)

Ever since she was little, Helena always had a strong connection to the dead, and them to her. She can see and talk to them just like any other living being would. This strong connection towards the supernatural comes naturally for her and the dead feel the same as well.

Key Spells:

• Tether: Connection - Helen creates a poppet or an effigy to represent the target. To "link" the effigy to the target's soul, she integrates a piece of them into it like their toenail clippings or hair. While linked, whatever is done upon the effigy will reflect back on the target but they cannot be killed through it. To break the connection, the effigy of the target must be destroyed or set on fire.
• Haunting: Infestation - Calls upon a horde of ghouls and spirits within an area to strike fear in the hearts of Helen's foes and to generally create chaos. She uses this spell to make a person's house haunted or 'infested' with different types of ghosts. To make it more long-term, she can create a totem. When she creates a totem, she pours a bit of her soul energy into it so it becomes a medium for the ghosts to keep coming back to this specific place and continue to haunt it even when she's away. The totem lasts up to three days max on its own or until Helen's energy that's stored within the totem runs up. The infestation can be stopped when the totem is destroyed or set on fire.
• Possession: Legion - Helen's body becomes a channel, allowing multiple spirits to possess her at once. On top of giving her improved strength, speed, and dexterity, a dozen spectral arms will sprout out of her body to assist her in battle. However, it also uses up all her pent-up rage, fear, and sadness to cloud her judgement and make her act on instinct like a rabid animal, hellbent on destroying the person or group of people that made her feel such extreme negative emotions. She only uses this spell unconsciously in the most dire of situations and she can only come back to her true self by a purification spell or through an act of love from a loved one.

Personality:

Helen is quiet and mostly keeps to herself. She's not the type to go clubbing at night or partying over someone's house; crowds drain the life out of her. She mostly likes calm, serene environments like a cafe, the forest, or her room. It's not like she hates socializing but personally, the living is too complex for her. The dead are more transparent, no pun intended, as they always say what they need and what they feel out loud right from the get-go. Worrying about what other people might think about you is useless when you're dead, after all. Besides, she's not that famous in her class anyway. While she might be more straightforward and a little too honest compared to what most people might think, she always helps those in need if it's within her capabilities. She's a very patient and understanding person who doesn't like conflicts and does everything she can to avoid them. It's a whole other matter if her loved ones are involved however, and Helen will stop at nothing to exact her revenge.

History/Bio:

Helen and her brother Harry were born in America and had been living in Tanner, Washington for as long as they could remember. Her mother Paulene was part of a foreign exchange student program at a university where she met Richard and the rest was history. Harry was the star athlete and mister popular in their school while Helen was more of the nerdy wallflower. At a young age, Helen developed a talent to hear voices from people who weren't there. It definitely made her look like the weird kid at school and the other students bullied her. That only made her feel more connected to these voices instead of people. At least they knew the right words to say to her.

Listening to these voices often lead her to situations that would harm herself. Despite her parents telling her not to listen to them anymore, they were Helen's only friends and she didn't want to feel lonely anymore. It had become worse when she would have died if her dad didn't save her at the nick of time.

Determined to not let her be in trouble again, her parents decided to tell her and her brother the truth about who they were. Paulene's family came from a long lineage of babaylan, priestesses that talked to the spirits of the old for guidance and wisdom. They were essentially warlocks who dedicated themselves in the magic of necromancy, using their magic to commune with the dead. Most of them had been killed off by the Spaniards but bloodline managed to withstand the test of time, passing the gift of their ancestors from a mother to her daughter and to her daughter's daughter. Her father knew this about his wife and he still accepted her as a whole despite his own beliefs; that's how much he loved her. Paulene also told the siblings she was a part of the Coven, a secret community within Tanner comprised of witches and warlocks.

From then on, Paulene introduced Helen to the Coven and have her trained as a warlock that practiced necromancy just like her. When they were at home, Helen would also be taught necromancy based on how their people practiced it at their motherland. Paulene hoped that with Helen being half-Filipino, half-American, she would be the bridge that connected two different worlds together to harness her magic and become strong with it so that she will not fall victim to it again.

Helen would then leave Tanner for a bit to get her bachelor's degree in psychology before moving back home while her brother went on with his father at another state for work. She had already set her mind in working for the Coven again, for the immediate time at least while she figured out what she wanted to do in life.

I also would like for some of my past Guild names to live on in meme fashion.

But being able to change it ourselves now is cool enough, tbh.

I have a thing for @HaleyTheRandom's avatar. Long as she doesn't change it now, because that would make things weirder than they need to be.

The Witches & Warlocks of Tanner 2.0

I'm a sucker for these types of RPs. I think it's too many years of watching everything on the CW when I was younger. Anyway, I'll throw this CS up for consideration. I will admit, I wanted to try something a little different with this character. I totally understand if it doesn't fit the vibe of the RP. I'm fine with changing whatever needs to be changed, or packing away the idea, entirely. I was trying to think of something different that still stayed with the main setup and themes of the game. I also left some things intentionally vague to be filled out by the GMs and the other players. Cohesiveness ftw.

Pallas Xenakis

_______________________________________________ "Stories of my death have not been exaggerated at all." N A M E ⋮ Pallas Xenakis A G E ⋮ Appears to be in this Mid-Twenties G E N D E R ⋮ NB (AMAB) // Him/They S E X U A L I T Y ⋮ Pansexual E T H N I C I T Y ⋮ Greek H E I G H T ⋮ 6'3" W I T C H // W A R L O C K ⋮ Witch S C H O O L S OF M A G I C ⋮ DIVINATION ▮▮▮▮▮ ⋮ ▮▯▯▯▯ Portent ⋮ Pallas is able to see fifteen seconds into the future. It's not a lot, but it's enough to avoid a quick death for both him and his friends. He can only use it three times a day. Mantis (Diviniation) ⋮ This is more proper divination for his family. In this method, he has to imbibe wine mixed with someone's blood to conjure the spirits of his family. From there, they speak through him as to the future which awaits someone. The trick is, he doesn't remember what he says. He's even tried recording it, and the video goes to static. And he cannot divine on himself, as he doesn't bleed. What he says can reflect what will happen in the near future or a hundred years from now. There's no set timeline. He also speaks in rhyme and metaphors. ABJURATION ▮▮▮▯▯ ⋮ ▯▯▯▯▯ Nondetection ⋮ He can block someone from being able to find him using any form of location spell. This doesn't stop them from being able to open Twitter, but fortunately, he doesn't have much of an internet presence. NECROMANCY ▮▮▮▮▮ ⋮ ▮▮▯▯▯ Inflict Wounds ⋮ First and foremost, this is not how the Xenakis family operates. This is magic that he gleaned after his soul was placed into a soul jar. The person that he is affecting has to look him in the eyes and hear the words he saying, but after that, he is able to use this power to tether their bodies and inflict wounds. Whatever he does to himself will be duplicated onto them. The spell is broken if he is overcome with pain, after ten minutes, or if it is counterspelled. He can't make the wounds fatal, for if he dies the spell is broken before it reaches who it is supposed to influence, but he can make it hurt. Vicissitude ⋮ This spell can only be used upon the dead, but technically Pallas is dead. He can change the shape of his body by crafting his flesh and bone into different forms. This can range from hiding injuries that he has sustained that haven't killed him but would be worrying for anyone to see, to elongating his finger bones into sharpened claws, to giving himself sharpened teeth, to causing his ulna bone to leave his body and extend into a scythe-like blade. It's akin to turning one's body into a literal weapon. He mostly just uses it to reform himself, but it does mean he's never weaponless. It does ask if you want to hear him grunt in pain while he turns his thumb into a knife. It's immensely painful, and the limitations are within the realm of what a body can do. SOUL JAR Pallas has put his soul into a magical jar, allowing his body to become undead and basically unkillable. He can survive without air, food, or water. He's also immune to poison and sleeping potions, but not to the magic that induces this. He's also strong against the cold and ice magic, but in return is very vulnerable against fire, magic or not. This power comes with a lot of caveats, though. First, if the jar is destroyed, his soul will return to him rapidly aging him to his actual age (which will mean death). Second, if the jar falls into hands that are not his own, that person has power over him. Third, while he is unkillable he has to have time, and all his parts, to mend his dead body to "come back to life." If he's incinerated, it may take hundreds of years for him to come back together without assistance. If he's decapitated, again, and someone makes off with his head--he won't come back to life until it's met back with the rest of his body. There are reasons that there are large gaps between his appearances in Tanner, and some of them have to do with dealing with an undead body.

___________________________________________________________________________________ P E R S O N A L I T Y P E R S O N A L I T Y Pallas is the sort that brings cocaine to a book club meeting, wine to an intervention, and weed to a hospital. He truly doesn't understand social norms in this regard. He'd rather be halfway to the moon dragging someone with him than actually be a responsible adult. It's hard to take things seriously when you've seen so much and been through even more. Like your bachelor uncle, he has stories about all of his travels and adventures. He always brings gifts. And will take you out to ice cream despite your parents' objection. He's also not judgemental and a shoulder to lean on when you're feeling bad. Because whatever you think you've done that you can't come back from, he's probably done worse. Pallas is aware of his shortcomings, and he's more than happy to joke about them in a straightforward manner. No one is going to get under his skin by seeing all the chinks in his armor. He's prone to laughing about it, self-deprecating even harder. Pallas is what rock bottom looks like in a suit and a tie. He also has a tendency to use out-of-date terms for things the he doesn't know the modern equivalent of. H I S T O R I C A L I N A C C U R A C I E S H I S T O R I C A L I N A C C U R A C I E S The Xenakis family came from Greece in the late-1800s to early-1900s. They settled in Tanner, Washington after hearing that it was a safe haven for witches and warlocks alike. To ask why the Xankis family left Greece, they'd just laugh and say that had a "disagreement" with the Ottoman Empire. Though the Balkan War was on the horizon, bloodshed and death were on the horizon. The Xenakis were old-school fortune tellers. They had sat at the side of sultans, politicians, and even prominent criminal organizations. Ionas and Polina Xenakis were the heads of the family and had three children: Dimitrios, Micial, and Nicolaos. Other members of the Xenakis family came with them, including Ionas's brother, wife, and children. Though, they were half-blooded. Though the Xenakis were not the sort to treat them as secondary citizens, they were not allowed to be the head of the family. A few years after arriving, Ionas and Polina had their fourth and last child--Pallas. And then shortly after that, their house caught aflame while the three elder children were visiting their uncle. Ionas, Polina, and Pallas all lost their lives, or at least that is the story. Twenty years later, Pallas returned to Tanner and to the few remaining members of his family. They were more than ecstatic to have the prodigal son back, but they were less happy to have the sentient piece of hedonistic trash that he'd become. He promised to change his ways if they taught him the family way of divination. He'd inherited the family power of being able to glimpse into the future, but it was wildly untrained. They agreed, showing him the old arts of abjuration to hide himself and more methodic divination than his sporadic portence. What the family didn't know was that he'd made a living as a con artist, and he'd pissed off a very powerful witch of a very powerful coven in New York by stealing a valuable artifact. Surprisingly, years passed in peace. No comeuppance was delivered to him, and he assumed that he'd hidden himself perfectly from his actions. He studied hard to catch up with his cousins along with dipping his toes into some of the darker practices that they'd brought from the Ottoman Empire. Pallas even met a young girl in town that he fancied. Things were looking--up. That was until his family found him decapitated in his room one morning, the artifact having been stolen back. They buried him next to his parents and mourned his loss--again. One year later, he woke up. His family had reconnected his head before his burial, and it'd taken that long for him to "heal." Pallas was surprised about this before he panicked at the realization of how it happened. The ancient artifact that he'd stolen from the family was a soul jar, and he'd successfully put his soul into it. It was what he'd been researching in the older tomes. He'd thought it would be a way to protect himself if the coven came for him. It'd worked, but now he didn't have his soul jar. So, Pallas left the quaint town of Tanner once again. This time he'd be gone for thirty years, showing back up again having gotten a good lead on his soul jar. He showed up one morning, drinking their tea, eating their biscuits, and promptly scaring the shit out of them. He hadn't seemed to have aged a day. He wasn't back to catch up, though, he sought some of the old tomes he'd used before. Fifty years passed after that, and he returned having achieved his goals. He was ready to settle down. Tanner had changed, wildly, though. This would be in the late 1990s, and Pallas stuck out like a sore thumb. The remnants of the Xenakis family were in their thirties and had no intention of having any children. He pretended to be a cousin that had been born from a family that had stayed in Greece. This was the truth, but it was wildly truncated. He might have been able to keep this up except his bad luck had a tendency of following him. He was shot in the head. No one can really say why. But the rumor was that he was drunkenly belaboring a member of the town, and it had turned to fisticuffs... which had turned into Pallas having just brought insults to a gunfight. Pallas had only been buried a week, and per tradition, his gravesite was being visited by his family and a handful of the elders of the coven. So, when he dug himself out--they screamed, he screamed, and it was probably a nightmare for all involved. At that moment, he was excommunicated from the coven til there was a time that he would be needed. But they swore that he wouldn't be. Well, apparently hell froze over because he received a letter inviting him back to Tanner, Washington after his cousins stepped down from their position.

Hello darling ~

10/10 on the sheet. I really applaud your creative effort.

While the GM team thinks that we could incorporate your character into the plot by having past interactions with NPC's, we're worried about he will interact with current PC's. If the last time your character was technically in Tanner was the 90's (if I'm reading the sheet correctly), then our characters parents would have been teens. Our RP is heavily driven by character interactions and relations, so we're just worried about your character being 'iced out'. Is their any possibility that he may have returned to Tanner a little sooner? Anytime within the last five years would work for us - just so that we can establish relationships with your character.

Also, please feel free to join our Discord, which can be found on the first post of the OOC.
