HERBARIAM

IRMA . LATINA. SHE/HER . CST, 25+

hello there! I'm an acespec latina from south texas! I do have dyslexia, so do forgive me if my spelling is a little shoddy sometimes! I do my best to catch mistakes before posting kjnasdf My interests are on my personal, so if you’re interested in my non-rp habits, check there! other places you can find me are my yukari, reimu, and canons multimuse! I look forward to writing with you! ♡

 001  BASICS .FAIR PLAY . Be fair, be reasonable. It’s okay to grab my muse or to attempt any action that you want, but let me decide for myself exactly how my muse will react or be affected, especially in the event of dire consequences that may befall them.ALL WELCOME .
I will RP with any muse that interests me. Muses of all sorts are more than welcome and highly encouraged!MAINS/EXCLUSIVITY ?
I do not practice exclusivity, though I will refer to muses who leave heavy impacts on my muses as mains. This just means they are the default version of that particular muse on my blogWRITING HABITS .
Winging it > Plotting it. My default is to write whatever comes to mind, but I'm not opposed to plotting something out! I might poke you for your preferences regarding scene set-up, if it’s our first time interacting though.
Formatting? For most of my muses, I do use icons and a small text, but that sort of thing is not necessary to thread with me. All I ask is that you cut your posts to the last reply in the chain to keep things clean. If you have problems with reading formatted text, I can always forgo using it, as well. Just let me know!THREAD STATUS .
If it’s been a while, and you haven’t seen a reply from me, feel free to just flag me down. Chances are tumblr activity ate it. I’ll accept a reply to a thread at any point, at any time, even if it’s been lost for half a year or more. No, seriously. I will.
It’s Okay To Drop Threads! I’ll rarely ask to see where our thread is, so I don't mind if things get dropped unexpectedly. We can always make something new and wrap up the previous thread under the table.
When Do You Drop A Thread? I don’t typically drop threads unless one of us has gone inactive with no sign of reappearing, or if I'm having such a rough time with my mental health that a full draft box wipe is the only solution. That being said, dropping threads is a really rare occurrence. If I'm absolutely struggling to respond to what we have going on, for whatever reason, then I’ll contact you on the matter and see where to go from there.SELECTIVE .
I follow back at my own discretion. Please don’t take offense if I don’t follow back. I will only follow you back if I’m interested in interacting. If I follow you, I want to interact with you.
Personals. Personal blogs are welcome to follow, just do not clog up my activity feed or reblog personalized or rp content or you will be blocked.
Mutuals Only. I prefer to only thread with people who I follow, and who follow me back. No exceptions, save where sideblogs are concerned.
Unfollowing. I only unfollow due to excess clutter or untagged nsfw. Otherwise, I’ll usually only unfollow you if you have not been active in over a year, and I will gladly refollow should you become active again.

 002  NSFW, SHIPS, VIOLENCE .SEXUAL CONTENT . I do not tend to jump right into sexual content with people nor does actually writing out said interactions interest me much. I tend to be more interested in the relationship between the characters themselves than the smut, basically. I am only really willing to fully write out smut in a thread if I feel comfortable around my rp partner and talk to them often OOC. Please do not try to pressure me into writing smut with any of my muses!SHIPPING . Multiship as a general rule, though with expectations on some muses. It will be marked on their specific about pages! I don’t have any problems with establishing relationships, just please come to me first and ask if we can plot something out (be it something romantic, familial, friendly, hateful, etc.) All relationships exist in their own separate verse unless stated otherwise. For romantic ships only, I will only ship with one portrayal of any particular muse at a time for canons.LIFESPAN WARNINGS . Given how many of my muses are centuries-old supernatural creatures, weird age gaps or lifespan dissonance may apply. Because of this, I will only romantically ship with muses who are very clearly physically and mentally meant to be adults, and will be selective with ships accordingly.I have extremely little tolerance for the whole ‘700 year-old-in-a-child’s-body’ thing as an excuse to write sexual content with said muse, do NOT try to engage sexual content with any of my child-like long-living muses period.COMBAT ? I’m perfectly fine with writing up fights, scuffles, battles, etc - I actually enjoy writing that sort of thing! However, in the event of muses who come from games or other mechanic heavy system, I tend to write moves fairly creatively and will not necessarily stick purely to gameplay limitations, as I typically find that to be incredibly limiting and unnecessarily tedious to the flow of a thread. Please be aware of this.
Plotting Optional. Most of my muses hit first and ask questions later, so there is a chance of getting into a physical scuffle with them. Plotting the outcome, while not necessarily, is always welcome and encouraged - I will always attempt to reach out and see how you want to handle it, and I will keep the playing field even. Beyond that, I typically follow a three-hit policy as a rule of thumb.INJURY & OTHER CONTENT . I’m fine with viewing and writing dark content, and with my muses getting roughed up - it’s going to happen, it has happened - but please alert me before initiating things like broken bones, death, major injuries, major scars, etc. Any sort of situation that might leave long-lasting physical or psychological consequences, or which might provoke a Bad End scenario.
No-Goes? I don’t really have any major no-goes. Just don’t be sketchy, and stay in communication so that we can keep track of each other’s boundaries, whether it be through IMs, discord, or even just the tags.

 003  MUN & POLICIES .OOC CONTACT . General heads up I wear out superfast when talking to people, especially in private conversations. Don’t be scared if I'm not super chatty or talk to you often, I just get drained very fast. Discord is available for mutuals upon request. The IM system is also open. Please be aware that I do not roleplay through either unless I am incredibly familiar with you.SPORADIC. Don’t be alarmed if my activity is wonky - my focus is a bit shoddy, so sometimes I'll be super active for weeks, and sometimes I vanish for literal ages. If it’s been over a month since you’ve seen a proper reply out of me, then feel free to poke at me. Even if I’m not active, I do lurk, so always feel free to contact me via Discord or through IMs.NO DRAMA. I do not get involved in drama if it can be avoided. I have ‘drama /’ and ‘callout /’ blacklisted for my own comfort. I try to keep an eye on things as is needed when it comes to major warnings to the rpc to determine who I will and won’t interact with but baseless/petty drama is not supported here.CONTENT WARNINGS. I put HEAVY folkloric influence on my blogs, and traditional folklore does not skimp on uncomfortable topics. Exact references will vary per whatever folktale or legend is involved, but controversial topics common in traditional lore and mythology will be present on my blogs, as well as possible mentions of religion. I do not implement any of these topics lightly, and try to avoid doing so in-thread unless it is necessary.
Academic Respect. I will of course be treating these topics as respectfully as possible, with the proper gravity they deserve, and any mention of such content will be tagged accordingly and brought up only when necessary for that muse. That being said there may in fact be uncomfortable or sketchy topics on occasion, most often around topics like kidnapping/abduction, murder, monster's eating humans, and general folklore/occult horror.TRIGGERS. I use #TW: [ NAME OF TRIGGER ] and #[ NAME OF CONTENT ] / style tags, while I have no triggers myself I would appreciate it if the following were tagged
images only: eye gore.NIGHT OWL. I live in CST, but my sleep schedule is abysmal. If I do not have something to keep it somewhat in check my usual time to be awake is 12-1pm to 3-4am.EXPERIENCE. I’ve been using tumblr as an RP platform since 2014~ and even when not on tumblr specifically, I have been RPing on some platform somewhere. I just really like writing jasdnjkfCREDITS: I make my own PSDs and crop my own icons unless stated otherwise.
- music player embedICONS: I prefer to use manga icons, and will always source from official or commissioned materials whenever feasible. However, in case no official material is available, I will icon from scans of sfw parody/doujin comics sold at events like reitaisai or comiket. I typically avoid using fanart as a personal preference, but will if I have no other available choice. Some of my muses are also using art commisioned by me!

STATS

NAME: Alafare Zamfir-LazarescuNICKNAME/ALIAS: Ali, Little Star, The Champion of EducationAGE: 25 - 32DATE OF BIRTH: Desnus (May) 3rd, 4686 ARGENDER & PRONOUNS: Cis Female, She/HerORIENTATION: Demisexual / HomoromanticRACE/ETHNICITY: Dhampir / Biracial; Ustalavan-VarisianNATIONALITY: Ustalavan

PHYSICAL

HEIGHT: 5’10” (152cm)WEIGHT: 145 lbs. (65 kgs)HAIR: long, curled, lilac-colored, very well maintainedEYES: violetMARKINGS/FEATURES: dark freckles across her body. Was born with a Varisian ‘birth tattoo’, an intricate birthmark that appears like a pure-white tattoo of flowers surrounding a magical glyph; it grew as she aged to cover her shoulder blades and midback. Elongated canines.PIERCINGS: lobe piercingsTATTOOS: multiple intricate white-ink tattoos across her entire body, designed to complement her birth tattoo.CLOTHING STYLE: Alafare prefers wearing long billowy dresses with sturdy corsets, typically wearing shawls or long scarves over her dresses depending on the weather. Most of her adventuring outfits have been custom tailored with side pockets or hidden pockets inside her sleeves, never wanting to be too far from her Harrow Deck. She typically wears low-heel boots, or low-heels in general, preferring to keep her fashionable higher heels for elaborate balls and parties. She prefers very breathable fabrics, nice cottons, lots of silks. In colder months the silks swap out for velvet and nice fur shawls and coats. Overall her clothing style could be summed up as being very 'romantic' a 'classical fairy tale' sort of look. In her normal day-to-day wear she keeps generally to very simple colors she can mix and match as she pleases (white/blue/orange/black pieces are especially notable in her wardrobe). For special occasions however she leans fully into a Victorian Gothic look common of Ustalavan Nobility with more dramatic black/deep red/dark violet ball gowns and elaborate jewelry that she wouldn't wear otherwise.OTHER: nearsighted, wears glasses to correct this but can function without them.FACE CLAIM: commissioned art/ffxiv model, occasionally Naomi Ortman

PERSONALITY

Deeply empathetic and compassionate, Alafare strives to be kind to all she can and uplift the voices of the marginalized and impoverished, seeking to use her position in society and the power granted to her by her magic to better the world and improve the lives of those often mistreated by society. Creative, imaginative, and very intelligent, Alafare has a deep curiosity about the world around her and can often be seen constantly writing in one of her many journals or researching whatever topic has caught her fancy. She is a natural educator, and her innate charisma lends itself well to her teaching skills. But her true passion lies in her love of storytelling. A writer to her core, she is hardly ever seen without a pen in her hand, amassing an astounding collection of poems, manuscripts, essays, and short stories, most of which never even make it into her many published works. To her, writing is her lifeblood, storytelling runs in her veins, and in a very literal sense, it fuels the mage’s very magic.However, her dhampiric nature places her at a treacherous crossroads. The urge to destroy the living and life itself runs deep in her core, the undead negative energy that fuels her body, despite being a living creature, urging her to destroy and sink her teeth into all she hates. Alafare meets those she dislikes and those who harass her with a quick tongue and cruel verbal teardowns. Slow to trust, and slower to forgive, she is often ruthless when she feels someone has truly wronged her.This dual nature of hers, one of destruction and creation, of ruthlessness and compassion, is something Alafare often struggles to balance within herself, fearful of losing herself if she tries to repress her destructive dhampir nature as much as if she ever fully embraced it.POSITIVE TRAITS:- Intelligent

BIOGRAPHY

In the cursed lands of Ustalav, everyone from prince to peasant valued their privacy, and all knew to mind their business lest they glimpse behind a veil that could doom them and their loved ones.The country of Ustalav was once gripped in undead horrors by a monstrously powerful lich, a near god-like being only stopped by the combined might of the world’s most powerful nations and the gods themselves. Now free from the lich’s rule, Ustalav’s people fear the undead and supernatural without measure, often paranoid of outsiders and holding their superstitions close. In the secluded hamlets of the Ustalavan countryside, many a burning has occurred on the simple suspicion one might be a ghoul or an eldritch cult's agent there to harm what little normally the people had managed to rebuild for themselves in the days following the lich’s fall from power. Of course, that was only the superstitious paranoia of the ‘backwaters’ of Ustalav’s most ‘uncouth’ peasants. The people living in the nation’s many thriving and populous cities knew better.The undead and harmfully supernatural had long been stomped out of Ustalav, replaced by properly studied wizard magic and scientific advancements in steam and engineering the world had never seen. There were no more undead in Ustalav. Certainly nothing as powerful as a vampire would have been left alive by the nations that had freed them from the lich’s clutches. There were no vampires in Ustalav.But of course, there was. They had just gotten clever at hiding away from the inquisition’s ire. A masquerade. One carefully constructed by Ustalav’s vampire residents, placing them and their minions intelligent undead or otherwise, in every corner of society just out of sight. And nowhere were there more vampires than Ustalav’s noble courts, the undead spending decades carefully pulling the strings to maintain their domains to their liking.Alafare’s father, Lucius, was one such vampire. One of the current Barons of Versex with an ambition to climb ever higher, slowly gaining more power in magic, might, and politics, aiming towards taking control of the county itself by ceasing the title from Versex’s long absent Count. Perhaps the nation itself would follow. Anything and everything to keep safe the only mortals he has ever truly loved, his family. Especially his beloved wife and daughter.Alafare was born of the union of a vampire and a human. A dhampir, a creature alive yet fueled by undead energies, one that ages closer to an elf than a human, with fangs and an unquenchable hunger for blood. Abominations. Cursed. Creatures that are to be pitied at best. In a way, Alafare was born extraordinarily lucky. While most dhampir end up orphaned or abandoned by both their mortal and vampire parent, or leave their mortal parent dead and are used as pawns by their undead parent; Alafare’s parents are both alive and well, and deeply in love with one another. Though they had to separate for the safety of their family, the distance has done nothing to diminish the love and care they feel for each other and their daughter, who the two do their best to raise despite the family's rather… unusual circumstances.And thus Alafare’s life has always been one of dualities and crossroads.To her home city of Versex in the nation of Ustalav, Alafare is known as the beautiful, mysterious, and aloof only daughter of the city’s beloved Baron Zamfir. Though she had to care to keep her dhampiric nature a secret at every turn, within her father’s estate her life was one of noble privilege and comfort. A life full of grand parties held in elegant ballrooms, private tutors in any subject that could catch her interest, and a luxurious estate filled with servants to attend to her every whim and need. But too, her father taught her how to be clever and ruthless. To survive in the cut-throat politics of Ustalav’s courts, and slay any opponent with just a few well-chosen words. Her father taught her the world was a grim and often cruel place, one she had to do all in her power to keep from hurting those she cared for.But when traveling with her mother Eveliana across Ustalav’s countryside, she was the young clever assistant for her mother’s traveling alchemical potions shop. Her mother took care to engross Alafare on the Varisian part of her heritage. One of countless stories and folklore tied to the stars themselves, of a traveling people beloved for eons by the goddess of dreams and fortune herself. Of how the common people of Versex lived, how even the smallest and most paranoid of villages were in truth often just people who deeply loved their neighbor, and lacked the opportunities and education to view anything outside their homes as anything other than a threat. Most would never be allowed the opportunity to flourish in the same way as the people in Ustalav’s cities. Eveliana, as ambitious and brilliant as her vampire husband, took care to make sure Alafare never let the comfort of nobility cloud her vision and make her forget how much the world around her still needed to improve. How much of the world there was still to see and understand. How every person, every town, had a story.And so Alafare decided she would be the one to create that better, brighter world.Fueled by her wanderlust and an urge to explore the world around her and collect stories from people across the globe, once she grew old enough that her magic had come onto its own, Alafare set off to the far-off River Kingdoms. The more commonly named Stolen Lands were a bandit country, unsettled by any and plagued by many dangers. The neighboring country of Restov offered a hefty commission to any adventurers willing to map out the land and establish a settlement of their own to bring order to the vast wilderness filled with nothing but thieves and shady rogues. It was perfect. Far away from Ustalav and its shady courts and its ever-present inquisition. A blank slate for Alafare to spread her wings.Together with a group of four other women, Alafare would spend the next decade building the newly founded nation of Pyria brick by brick. Placed as the lead council member in charge of education and magic within the new country, Alafare rapidly got to work in creating educational institutes open to those from all walks of life and drafting policies meant to raise the voices of the people most overlooked and unheard by society.Too did she grow as a person and a mage. Their new nation attacked by ancient liches, restless ghosts, neighboring powers, and crazed fae alike, Alafare has seen plenty of battles over the years and grown to slowly trust the party that first began this journey with her all those years ago. Among them, even finding the love of her life, the two married some years later.To collect stories from across the lands. To open schools and fund programs to raise up the unheard voices of the lands. And prove that when allowed to be better and learn, even the most paranoid of people could be better. Alafare still has many, many, many years ahead of her. And she greets them all with cautious excitement.

OTHER

POWERS / ABILITIES:-   Eidolon   An eidolon is a type of powerful and unique outsider linked to a specific summoner. This close tie grants the eidolon unique abilities and traits, including a form shaped by its summoner's desires. Alafare’s eidolon goes by the name Ayliana and was drawn forth by Alafare from the realm of Harrow, where all Varisian folklore and myth are made manifest.The Harrowed Realm is a demiplane only accessible from the Realm of Dreams, due to this, Ayliana largely works off dream-like logic. Her appearance is in a constant shift as Alafare grows in power and can draw more of the eidolon’s essence into the material plane. Ayliana is large enough to take up an entire room, yet not, has claws sharp enough to cut through steel, yet not, has arms unnaturally long and a neck that reaches too far, yet appears as a beautiful human-like woman. Has fangs and could swallow a person whole, yet looks willowy and slender at a glance. She would be rather horrific, if not for how friendly she is when not in combat.Ayliana acts as Alafare’s primary defense against creatures trying to get too close for comfort to the mage. Able to block incoming attacks, stop people trying to move away from her, lock down opponents, and even sacrifice herself for Alafare by absorbing incoming damage which would knock out the summoner. A sentient creature in her own right, Ayliana is not bound to obey Alafare’s commands, instead acting out of her own volition, ever loyal and loving towards her summoner, whom the eidolon views as a beloved child.Where Alafare is a mage standing back from the combat, Ayliana is a tank right at the front lines. And the eidolon is skilled in using that bulk to keep Alafare safe in a fight. Unlike most summons, once summoned by Alafare at the beginning of the day Ayliana can stay around for as long as Alafare is awake. Because of this, she rarely leaves the summoner’s side.-   Summoning Magic   Alafare is a master class summoner, able to swiftly call forth a truly astounding variety of creatures from across the many planes. Unlike many summoners, who are bound to only be able to call creatures matching their cosmic alignments, Alafare can summon well outside of her own, drawing upon the powers of the hells themselves should the need arise. To Alafare, she views her summons as her friends and allies and works to establish relationships with the creatures she summons forth by way of giving them various offerings or rewards for their aid. Though the nature of summoning magic binds the creatures she calls to Alafare’s will while they remain on the material plane, Alafare tries to not take advantage of the psychic link between them, and acts to the nature of whatever she summons for the task she needs to be done. Alafare’s summons are akin to ‘physical projections’ of the creature she is calling upon and will vanish back to their home plane upon being defeated, with no real harm coming to the creature that was summoned. Furthermore, Alafare’s summons do not last indefinitely, and will naturally return home after some time if not dismissed early by the summoner.-   Teleportation Magic   Second only to her ability for summoning, Alafare possesses a variety of powerful teleportation spells. From being able to blink short distances away, to traversing between entire regions or across the planes themselves. She is so adept at teleportation magic that she is even able to create magical ‘dead zones’ that lock teleportation of any kind within their radius, useful for locking down particularly slippery opponents, and can turn her teleportation into an offensive spell, by teleporting her foes to maze-like mirror dimensions to keep them trapped until they can find their way out.-   General Magecraft   Though summoning is her specialization, Alafare is a mage with access to several general buffing and debuffing spells. Though not as vast or powerful at spellcasting as a wizard or sorcerer may be, she still has quite a few tricks up her sleeve. However, she largely relies on using her magic to boost the abilities of her allies; party members and summons alike.-   Magic Item Use   To make up for her lack of spellcasting, Alafare has trained to become exceptionally gifted in the use of magical items. From powerful scrolls that can revive the dead, magical weapons, and strange artifacts of all kinds, Alafare often comes to conflicts very well-prepared.-   Notable Equipment  - Bag of Holding/Handy Haversack A backpack that appears to be well-made, well-used, and quite ordinary but is much, much bigger on the inside. The Handy Haversack has a spell cast upon it that allows Alafare to reach in and always find whatever object she is looking for at the very top of the bag without needing to search through it. Within this Haversack Alafare then keeps a Bag of Holding for even more interdimensional storage space.- Harrow Deck The Harrow is a method of divination widely used by many Varisian fortune-tellers using a Harrow deck. The deck consists of 54 individual cards, each of which symbolizes a topic and moral stance and features the image of a corresponding figure in Varisian folklore. Alafare’s deck was passed down to her from her aunt on her 18th birthday, and though the deck itself is completely unmagical, Alafare uses her deck as a magical focus for her magecraft and summoning work.- Silver Anklet A simple silver anklet featuring a charm in the shape of a bat. This anklet acts as Boots of Mire, a magical item that grants the user the power to walk on water in swampy environments with ease, protects her from rain, fog, and other humidity, and grants her a boost in fortitude against poisons and disease. This anklet was a gift from her father upon setting out on her journey and as such something she keeps for as much sentimental value as practical.- Wedding Ring A beautiful custom-made wedding band that never leaves Alafare’s hand. This ring is an extremely powerful magical item crafted by Alafare’s wife, Katherine. The ring has several passive magical effects, from allowing the two to communicate with one another across vast distances, to monitor each other’s health psychically, being able to hone in on the exact position of the ring’s other pair with teleportation magic, and making it so their wearer is impossible to bind, restrain, or paralyze physically in any way. Channeling the magic within the ring allows one of the pair to partially shield the other from harm in exchange for taking the effects of the blow herself.-   Magical Tattoos   While Alafare’s body is covered almost entirely in tattoos, she possesses a couple across her body which are infused with magic. One tattoo acts as a magic scroll which when touched, allows her to summon Ayliana to her side instantly. Another contains a spell that keeps her body ever clean and free of any dirt and grime, and lastly, a tattoo that cloaks her in shadow on command, allowing her to potentially dodge out of the way of incoming ranged attacks and spells.-   Linguistic Talents   Alafare is an incredibly skilled linguist. Aside from teaching herself multiple languages, she has such a talent for words she is a phenomenal code breaker and encrypter. Given enough time, Alafare can even teach herself to understand the basic meaning behind sentences in the few languages the scholar doesn’t already know.-   Dhampir Biology   Born from the union of a vampire and a human, Alafare is a walking anomaly. A rare ‘dayborn’ dhampir Alafare can walk in the sunlight unimpeded, making her odd even among others of her kind, and as such on the surface she appears as any other human, albeit one with an almost unnatural, statuesque beauty.Much like her undead father, Alafare was graced by a vampire’s charismatic nature, silver tongue, and alluring beauty. Her body moves gracefully, more gliding than walking, and her expression ever remains cool and neutral, her demeanor dulled by her undead blood even when she feels the strongest of emotions. But she is not a true vampire, just as she is not truly human.While all living creatures are powered by the energies of life and creation, able to heal from it when it is channeled by clerics, Alafare is not. While not an undead, and still very much a living creature, Alafare is damaged from this positive life energy in the same way any undead would be. Instead, her body heals from negative energy, the energies of death and destruction.On top of this, her body can resist being weakened by creatures that drain the life force from others, and though she will still die if drained enough, she faces none of the ill effects and can still act normal even when drained. She is too able to recover from such abilities much easier, needing only a good night’s rest.While she cannot naturally call them to her side like a vampire can, Alafare can talk and fully understand wolves, rats, and bats, and the creatures of the night are never hostile toward her.Her connection to undeath also makes her slightly more resistant to disease and mild-altering magics than most.Like a vampire she possesses a set of fangs, though much shorter than true blood drinkers, they are still able to draw forth blood, and though she gains nothing from it nor will her body suffer without it, she still has a strong natural craving for blood, and an urge to seek it, something Alafare has spent her whole life struggling to control.FIGHTING STYLE:Alafare is a mage who specializes in summoning, conjuration, and the manipulation of spaces and distance. Being a mage, Alafare is quite weak physically and can be taken down easily if caught in melee against a strong opponent.Because of this, she will opt to teleport to safer distances if caught in a tight spot. Otherwise, she relies on her Eidolon to protect her and keep threats away from the much less durable caster.While her Eidolon is her most unique summon, Alafare is a masterclass summoner who can use her magic to swiftly call upon the aid of a wide variety of creatures from the heavens, hells, and various planes alike. This makes her extremely versatile in fights and the general problem-solving typical of adventuring, something Alafare takes full advantage of when caught in a brawl.

PERSONALITY

Her personality can be split into two ‘modes’ when she is on a Hunt and when she is not.When hunting she is ruthless. A stalking predator who lures her victims in with promises of a pretty face and a ‘fun’ night out, before pouncing on her prey to slowly eat her victims alive. She loves the thrill of the hunt, the ‘build up’ and ‘climax’ of it all. It’s a rush like no other to her to finally be able to sink her teeth into her next meal as they scream beneath her jaws. She always eats her victims' livers, and will typically not wait for her prey to be dead before she carves it out.Despite that, she feels no hatred or malice towards humanity. Not really. ‘A girl needs to eat’ and to her, there is little distinction between ‘hunger’ ‘passion’ and ‘love'. Or at least, something she views as Love. After all, without her victims she’d starve, how could she ever hate her food?When not hunting, she is much more relaxed. Though she always has a bit of a bite to her, a sort of personality you know could bully you if she’d find it fun, though most of the time she can come across as down right friendly and sociable. A laid-back, somewhat lazy demeanor, she goes where the wind takes her and is driven by her whims. She does things that interest her, drops things that don’t.To people she likes (in her eyes, much in the way one likes a pet) she is the sort to invite out to fun parties or to chat while doing her nails and hair. She likes being pampered and will often indulge herself and by extension give gifts to those around her. She has NO sense of personal space, and if interest catches her, likes watching people squirm by clinging onto them to sit right atop their laps. At her core she is a creature of whim and impulse, someone who simply lives her life freely.
That said, despite all her insistence that she can't view humans as anything other than food. Her instinct is to flee the second anything even sniffs at being TOO sincere for her liking. Most of all if those feelings are her finding herself a little TOO fond of another.POSITIVE TRAITS:- words hereNEUTRAL TRAITS:- words hereNEGATIVE TRAITS:- words hereALIGNMENT: Chaotic EvilMBTI: ?????LIKES: ?????DISLIKES: ?????HOBBIES: ?????

BIOGRAPHY

Once a normal vixen who lived in the misty forest covered mountains of Hwanggot, after living for 1,000 years the fox acceded; gaining magic and transforming to a bloodthirsty Gumiho, a supernatural shape-shifting fox spirit.Given the power to take on a new humanoid form, along with a plethora of shape-shifting abilities and magical tricks that allow her to blend into the very shadows, she has taken to stalking the countryside and beyond, aiming for little else than her own pleasure.Seo-yeon takes on different forms and bodies like one does clothes, shifting their appearance freely to reflect that which her prey would find the most appealing. Because of this, she has various 'faces' the fox keeps as an ever expanding 'wardrobe'. From young to old, fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, every victim becomes another potential mask for the gumiho. Most commonly, however, Seo-yeon takes on the form of a young woman; having by and large found that to be the most largely appealing form to draw in her victims by.Her 'true' form is that of a bipedal human-sized nine-tailed fox monster with fur as dark as the night.Recently figured out that humans do things like 'need money' to 'get goods' so has taken to becoming an assassin for hire when in need of 'goods and services' to further her goal of living a cushy problem-free life.

PERSONALITY

A creative and highly imaginative child, Serena always had a love for folktales and stories of brave heros of old. She dreamed of being an adventurer some day, exploring the great unknown, protecting the innocent and fighting for those who couldn't fight for themselves. Brave and courageous, Serena will always stand up for those in need, and refuses to back down in the face of evil villains.Though there are some that would say the girl acts more fey than human.Highly adaptable and very charismatic for her age, Serena grew up learning the ways of the Fey Courts. Having lived within her patron's realm for over 700 years, she quickly learned how to adapt and thrive in the tricky, often nonsensical seeming, world of fae court politics. (And was only turned into a toad once!)Clever and quick thinking, she is more than willing to use deceit to get what she wants. Though she seldom acts will ill intent, she views things like 'trickery' 'guile' and 'lies' as tools just as valuable as 'strength' and 'love' to protect those around her.She KNOWS to an unobservant eye she looks like a helpless innocent child, and will happily take advantage of this if it means obtaining important information or gaining the upper hand on a potentially dangerous threat.Or even just to probe and access the skills of unknown adventurers who come to the guild's territory.Above all however Serena has deemed herself 'a magical girl' a hero just like one of her beloved stories; a brave protector of love, justice, and all things bright and thanks to the whim's of her Archfey Patron, she has gained the power to back this up.POSITIVE TRAITS:- wordsNEUTRAL TRAITS:- wordsNEGATIVE TRAITS:- wordsALIGNMENT: Chaotic GoodMBTI: ????LIKES: words, words, wordsDISLIKES: words, words, wordsHOBBIES: words, words, words

BIOGRAPHY

Self-proclaimed ‘Magical Girl’ and a ‘Hero of Love and Justice’ Serena is a… strange child; though also a extremely optimistic one with a very active imagination. She grew up reading stories of great heroes and magical adventures, with her favorite being a ‘fellow Hero of Love and Justice’ known as ‘Cure Cosmos’ who she idolizes even now.As far as her past goes, it’s really rather simple, her father was a carpenter, her mother was a weaver, her small family (in which she was the only child) lived near the feywilds. Serena, like most children, grew up alongside an imaginary friend she refers to as ‘Cyithy’ who watches over her to this day.One day Cyithy suggested they go play in the woods together for a while, Serena agreed, completely unaware that that ‘while’ would turn out to be 700 years. Whoops!

Cyithrel

"Time is funny no? First things happen then other things happen. Why not the other way around? Why does B follow A? I asked mother of it and she said she'd tell me when I'm older than her."
-Attributed to Cyithrel.Depending on who you ask, Cyithrel is either the oldest or youngest of Titania's eleven children. The only thing agreed upon is that she falls to one extreme or the other. Some legends even state that she is older than her own mother. Cyithrel is the lady of the parlour of sand. Between her and her court she is responsible for many of the stories of time being lost in the feywilds. The rate of the flow of time in her lands is in a constant state of flux. Sometimes minutes on the inside are days on the outside and other times years can pass within it in but a moment.While generally kind and goodnatured, Cyithrel is incapable of feeling regret or guilt, and cares little for past events only concerning herself with the now and the future. This can cause her to come across as callous or uncaring when dealing with mortals as she may do something harmful to them one moment and then get offended when they don't trust her the next. Though by the same token, she is rather unfey like in that she doesn't hold grudges.Serena is not her only warlock, but she is by and far her most powerful and her clear favorite. The fey views Serena fondly, as one does a well-loved and taken care of pet. Because of this, Serena holds a fair amount of sway within the Court of Sands, though the girl knows better than to use that connection lightly.Cyithrel seldom gives Serena direct orders, and largely lets the girl do as she pleases. When she is given orders, they are often strange, obtuse, and their purpose is not immediately obvious. (Planting a seed so that 30 years from then, at just the right moment, it will be struck by lighting and fall on a hunter about to kill a unicorn sort of thing) Serena obeys these orders without question, even those that make no sense to her, simply trusting it must be for some reason or other in some timeline the archfey sees.

PERSONALITY

A bitter, ill-tempered thing with an often wicked tongue. Though she carries herself with an air of calm and practiced refinement, Kalliope has closed off her heart, keeping it well guarded. Years of being shoved aside and ignored by her community have left her ever suspicious of those around her. Not wanting to be betrayed again, she decided she rather be alone than risk more heartbreak and humiliation, and swiftly lashes out at anyone who annoys her. Vain, petty, selfish, to many around Kalliope is someone who they rather avoid. A rather self-destructive defense mechanism. In truth, the mermaid is incredibly lonely, craving connection as much as she fears it. To make matters worse, years of isolation have left her with little idea how to reconnect with others or how to react towards the few able to avoid her direct ire. An intelligent woman of incredible magical talent, one capable of genuine love and loyality. To those willing to look past the surface of her snappy attitude and threatening remarks she happily throws around to anyone who annoys her, she can be a truly trustworthy and reliable companion.A young woman who holds onto grudges, who never forgets any wrong done to her, who is just as willing to help a poor unfortunate soul as she is willing to leave them to drown.A true witch indeed.POSITIVE TRAITS:- Brilliant

BIOGRAPHY

Born to an isolated mermaid community deep in the Fever Sea, from a young age Kalliope had an interest in the arcane. Where most of her peers found their talents in enchanting songs, she instead found it in potion bottles and cauldrons. Brewing oils, poisons, potions, and anything else she could learn to create, Kalliope quickly gained a hunger for knowledge. One that made her peers concerned, and one that caused her ever so nice parents to keep her under watch, locking her notes and brewing materials away for 'her own good’ forbidding her from leaving the cove. And so naturally, she frequently snuck away from her parents' ever judging gaze to search old shipwrecks and nearby abandoned islands for anything that looked remotely useful for her newfound hobby.It was on one such excursion that Kalliope found a strange frigate bird (or perhaps, that the bird found her), sitting on the wheel of a crashed ship…. Leagues underwater. She doesn’t speak much about what happened after that, claiming the details to be a secret made between her and the seas. Yet one thing is certain, on that day Kalliope became a proper witch, returning to her home with a newfound ‘pet’. And shortly after that, rumors began to spread.In her own words, her former cove was full of nice folk. They didn’t run her out of the village with pitchforks, no, it was much more gentle than that. While Kalliope was never the most social, she had still considered the cove her home. She had friends she cared about, a community she felt safe in. But over time, she soon found herself being gently pushed to the sidelines by her cove. Merfolk stopped talking to her, she was left out of conversations that were happening in the same room she was in, people forgot to invite her to local community events, people found themselves busy, stores always seemed to be out of stock for anything she needed. What few friends she had cut her off, acting as if they had never met her to begin with. Bitterness grew in her more by the day, only growing as the hushed words and whispered rumors grew around her. And as soon as she was old enough, her parents made a firm request for Kalliope to move out of their home.So move out she did. Out to a cave in the fringes of the cove. Kalliope was alone. But she was content. Away from prying eyes and gossiping whispers, from all those nice people who oh so gently ran her out for being too different and creepy for their liking. A danger. So what if she had no one? At least she could keep studying her craft in peace.Three years had passed since then. Now known to the cove as little more than ‘the creepy witch living on the edge of town’, letting them come up with whatever wild stories about her they so wished.It was during one of her many trips to shallower waters in search for potion ingredients and spell books that she was found and captured by the The Wormwood Pirates. They wanted for themselves a beautiful lass of the deep blue sea, a ‘lucky charm’ for the superstitious sailors who earnestly believed keeping mermaids on sailing ships would bring them good luck. Or at least such was claimed by her captors who dared take her from her oceanic home. Kalliope found herself a newcomer to the surface, kidnapped by pirates and locked in a cage much too small for her, chained so that even jumping overboard back into the seas wasn’t an option. The entire ordeal has made the mermaid more than a little ill-tempered.Though it seemed fortune at least was on Kalliope's side. Soon the Wormwood had 'found' itself new crewmates, a group of adventurers press-ganged into working under the ship's cruel Captain Harrigan. Together, the group were able to lead a successful mutiny against Harrigan, escaping on a vessel they managed to 'acquire' along with a group of pirates that had enough of Harrigan's brutal leadership.Together they formed a new pirate crew, dubbing their ship the Unbound Siren (much to Kalliope's annoyance) and the mer was one again free. No longer shackled and free to go any time she wished, the witch decided to stay with the newly founded pirate crew out of a desire to study and hone her magical craft; finding herself curiously drawn to the fellow mage the crew soon met early into their voyage. The crew now sails the open seas, looking for treasure and glory.And of course, Harrigan was still out there in the seas somewhere, angry at the crew's escape, eager to hunt them down. And slowly becoming a more and more powerful caster herself, Kalliope was always one eager for proper revenge.

BIOGRAPHY

An orphan whose parent's died in a house fire when she was 9, only her and her twin sibling survived. This fire was likely caused by Shadows, though the twins are unaware of this. Was taken in by her uncle, a tired businessman, and his many dogs.Gets in trouble often for 'delinquent activity' but is actually an extremely good-natured kid. Loud and Down to Fight.Perhaps because of this she was chosen to be a 'Shadow Hunter', a Magical Girl tasked with purifying Shadows - the twisted manifestations of people's inner struggles and desires given monstrous form. While she doesn't regret her choice, it turns out being a magical girl is a lot harder than anime makes it seem. Now caught in a fierce struggle for the very souls of the city she has come to know as home, she clings onto her new-found family and fellow Magical Children fiercely.

POWERS / ABILITIES:MAGICAL ELEMENT. All of her magic is flavored around the concept of candy! She can not access the vast majority of her magic unless transformed however expect for one specific magical power which she can control at all times: The ability to turn anything into candy. Yes, anything. Her only limit is her imagination.MAGICAL GIRL TRANSFORMATION. When transformed she is only able to be harmed by other sources of magic. Mundane weaponry, no matter how powerful, will simply not work on her. She can maintain her transformation indefinitely if she so wishes. Magic attacks powerful enough to snap her out of her magical girl form do not have any damage carry over onto her untransformed form. In turn, her own magic makes anything not-magical crumple like paper. Her transformation trinket is a pink bead bracelet with a single charm shaped like a feather. The charm will glow when it senses the presence of a Shadow or other strong dark magic.WITCH. can hex people to deal DoT damage, drain the life force of her targets (more info later kfjnsjdf)FALLOUT. Her intense magical power comes with a cost -- Fallout. If she abuses her magic for too long or over exerts herself she will have to deal with the excess magical energy taking itself out on her body after the fight has stopped. On the lower end this includes temporary minor magical changes such as candy growing out of her hair or turning things she touches pink; on the extreme end this means accidentally blowing up a city block. Whoops.PERSONAS Powerful entities who have decided they like Asuka and want to give her a helping hand by granting her a fraction of their power. All the magical children's personas represent an aspect of the child's personality they then become drawn to. Asuka summons hers like Pokémon. She currently only has access to one Persona: the goddess of love Aphrodite. Drawn to Asuka for her intense and fierce love for those she cares about. And also because the goddess wants to ship her charge, much to Asuka's annoyance.FIGHTING STYLE:Glass canon DPS. Gives her healer heart attacks with every fight

PERSONALITY

Egotistical, vain, greedy, extremely domineering. She doesn't tend to view 'lesser creatures' as anything other than things to be kept at the best of times. A dragon with a warlord like personality, she views herself as the natural ruler of everywhere she settles, the wealth of all below her 'added' onto her own. This is a double-edged sword, as while she will be quick to defend what is 'hers' and as such the villages she is settled in will often be very crime free; she also has little tolerance for perceived slights against her. Even unintentional ones.Her true lair lies deep in the core of an active volcano, where she has used magic to create 'vaults' to keep the most valuable and precious positions added to her hoard safe. A red dragon to her core, her hoard consists primarily of both priceless gems and treasures both non-magical and magical alike.Ruthless if slighted, she is considered rather 'calm' by most of her kin as she will typically try not to 'waste' a potentially valuable assist and thus rarely destroys villages unless she considers them 'too far gone' or they go out of their way to 'insult' her. Instead, she will more often kidnap an important and beloved political figure from any settlement which resists her, holding them captive until she gets whatever matter or offering she was seeking in the first place settled.Surprisingly true to her word, she views lying and most forms of deceit as something beneath her, and takes pride in obtaining all she has by being perfectly honest. When she makes a deal with someone, she follows through on it no matter what. This too is a matter of pride to her. Because of this, she is not above forming alliances with others; though it is rare for these to amount to anything other than temporary ties of convenience.She does not take kindly to any who kill dragons; including other dragons, and will react with a disproportionate amount of violence to any slayers she catches. This is not out of a sense of vengeance for her fallen kin, but because she hates the idea of a dragon being 'weak and pathetic' enough to fall to another. She will not be moved to act every time a dragon is killed, but when she is moved to action, there is little that can survive her rampage.POSITIVE TRAITS:- words words words wordsNEUTRAL TRAITS:- words words words wordsNEGATIVE TRAITS:- words words words wordsALIGNMENT: words words words wordsMBTI:: words words words wordsLIKES: words words words wordsDISLIKES: words words words words

BIOGRAPHY

- An old as dirt red dragon who was perfectly happy just accumulating wealth and power for all her life, was born long ago when the earth was new. She takes rather long 'naps' which can last several centuries.- One day, her only close friend, a fae dragon Ireis viewed as an equal, brought her newly laid egg to Ireis and asked the Red to swear that if something ever happened to her, to promise to take care of her child and make sure she grew up happy/healthy and living a 'normal' life where she was allowed to explore and learn about the world around her. Ireis promised her old friend what to her seemed a trivial matter, before taking a century or so long nap. When she woke up she found her friend had been killed by dragon slayers, her egg stolen to sell off for Big Rich Bidders™️- She did the typical red dragon thing of tracking down the poachers and setting the entire place, all their loved ones, and them, on fire before taking back the (now hatched) newly born baby dragon naming her Arrina- So now in order to keep her promise to her dear departed friend she is trying to figure out how to Raise a Kid in a way that fulfils that promise's intentions. She is well aware that Arrina can't have a 'normal' childhood (to a fae dragon) in her lava castle, and requires the chance to explore and hone her naturally curious nature, so she has moved them into a suitable settlement, disguising herself as human, and now seeks to raise the fae dragon for a next few centuries until she comes into her own

ANICENT WYRM: Old as dirt Red with a lot of insanely powerful innate destructive magic. Dragons get stronger and more magical with age; Ireis is no exception. Dragons are also naturally resistant to various types of magic, their scales bouncing back everything but the most powerful of spells from the most skilled of mages.BORN OF FIRE: Leggy so hot you can cook an egg on it Has a heat aura around her constantly burns and sets fire to creatures who get too close to her. While she can turn this aura off at will, she usually doesn't bother. Is also completely immune to fire in all its forms, along with being able to breathe and control flames.DRAGON BIOLOGY: To a Red, her whole body is a natural honed weapon. A tail that can crumble stone, claws and fangs that can easily cut and pierce through even enchanted armors like butter, there is a reason dragons are to be feared. (more tba)DRACONIC SHAPESHIFTER: Dragons are innate shapeshifters, able to easily shift their forms, they all craft a unique human body to inhabit when not within their true draconic forms. Ireis will always be found in her 'human' body when not encountered in her lair. She can shift in and out of her forms at will, and can shift aspects of her human body to her true form should need to arise, most commonly, this is shifting herself wings to fly or claws and tail for weaponry. She is capable of accessing all her magic and abilities in her human body, making the body more a 'glamour' than a true second form.FIGHTING STYLE:Is a Red Dragon

Does not need to eat, drink, or sleep, but chooses to anyway because he finds such things enjoyable. This also grants him some level of regeneration, as his body will naturally repair itself so long as he maintains connections to his leylines though this regeneration isn't quick enough to be useful in active combat.FIGHTING STYLE:Seeks to quickly overwhelm opponents.

PERSONALITY

Happy, energetic, and extremely optimistic, Clara likes to put the “fun” in “funeral”. A talented young witch whose preferred magic of choice lies not in flashy spells but utility and, most importantly, necromancy. While she may at times look the part of a ‘dark sorcerer’ she hardly really acts like one.Eccentric, to say the least, unlike most of her kind, Clara enjoys being around others, chatting to anyone willing to listen to her ramble about her various (totally not concerning) interests. While she certainly has a love (some would say obsession) with the morbid and the macabre, she is overall pretty well-meaning, seeking to understand others around her (even if she is admirably not the best at it). She is always willing to offer up a helping hand to those in need, even if her ways of ‘helping’ can sometimes be rather unconventional.Never seen without a cheerful smile on her face, she isn’t the type to pick a bone with others for no reason, preferring to just go with the flow for the most part. Though her friendly and over enthusiastic attitude can certainly lead her to latching onto people who catch her eye, regardless of how said individual may feel about it. She cares very little for money or fame, preferring to do things simply because she enjoys them. A very quick learner once she sets her mind to something, she really just wants to be able to study what she likes and live her life to the fullest.Clara, notably, seems to have a basically nonexistent fear of death. She’s the sort of person whose first reaction to seeing bloodthirsty demons on a rampage would be to start taking notes on it. This isn’t to say she doesn’t have a survival instinct, or that she would simply let herself die in dangerous situations, but more so that the way she handles and acts in the face of danger is one just as off-beat and nonchalant as with the rest of her personality.She also enjoys making a lot of puns.

POKEMON

WISHBONE ♂ ~lv.56Houndoom - Hasty - Flash Firenasty plot ● howl ● flamethrower ● crunch ● roar ● thunder fangA large houndoom that acts as Clara’s familiar. Wishbone is the leader of a pack of houndour that live around Clara’s home. They are a rather uncommon pokemon species for the area, though native to Kalos as a whole. This tends to cause trouble when passing trainers try to catch one of the members of the pack, leading to them oftentimes being chased away by the other pack matesWishbone is very protective of Clara, and basically acts as a guard dog, protecting her both from people and any ghost type pokemon who try to outstay their welcome or cause too much trouble for his young charge.Will typically hang around Clara, following her from a distance unless specifically called upon by the witch.QUIRKS- LARGE. Wishbone’s is rather large for a houndoom, reaching closer to the size of its mega variant than the average size of the species.-PACK LEADER. Wishbone is the leader of a pack of wild houndour who make their territory around Clara’s home. It seems the pack follows the houndoom wherever he goes, and were already around when Clara first formed a contract with Wishbone.-FAMILIAR. Acting as a witch’s familiar has granted Wishbone some magic of its own in order to better serve and protect his witch. The most notable of these two is the ability to take on a human form and the ability to speak.-HELLHOUND. Whether Wishbone is an actual hellhound or not is unconfirmed, though it seems the houndoom isn’t exactly an entirely normal pokemon even before contracting with Clara.-PARTNER. Wishbone is not a wild pokemon, it seems as part of their contract, Clara has caught Wishbone in a proper pokeball. However, Wishbone refuses to go into its pokeball and will never be seen in it, this is simply because Wishbone would be incapable of assisting Clara while inside his pokeball. Wishbone was caught in a dusk ball.-FADE TO SHADOW. Wishbone possesses the ability to slip into Clara’s shadow, hiding there until called upon. He can also slip into the shadows of objects, though won’t be able to do so indefinitely as he is able with Claras.----------------------------------NYX ♀ ~lv.54
Mimikyu - Adamant - Disguiseplay rough ● wood hammer ● shadow sneak ● shadow claw ● double teamOn a vacation to Alola, a wild mimikyu snuck into Clara’s traveling bag and decided to come home with her. While Clara isn’t sure why this is the case, it seems the ghost type has decided to stay around her house and has made itself very comfortable within its new home.The two have formed a friendship of sorts, and Clara views Nyx as a ‘roommate'.While Nyx isn’t a proper familiar by any means, it is protective of its territory and will guard Clara’s home against trespassers.QUIRKS-TERRITORIAL. Nyx is quite fond of her new home, and as such guards it viciously. Intruders to the home will find themselves attacked by the pokemon. Even around Clara’s proper house guests Nyx can be prickly and slow to warm up to outsiders.-WILD. Nyx is a wild pokemon, and as such can be caught in a pokeball. It tends to never leave Clara’s home however, so one would have to break and enter into Clara’s house in order to try to catch it.-RED BOW. Nyx has a large red bow tied around its ‘neck’. This bow was a gift from Clara.-IN THE WALLS. Nyx tends to move around Clara’s home via crawlspaces and shadows, rarely showing itself directly to others unless it's Clara herself or someone close to her. Nyx is prone to lurking and simply watching from the shadows of the house.-SPARE PARTS. Nyx keeps spare disguises within the guest room she’s claimed as her own. One should probably be careful about messing with these.----------------------------------WILD POKEMON ON HER PROPERTY.
Don’t belong to Clara, they just live here now.-HOOTHOOT (x???). Have made their nests in the trees around Clara’s home.
-MISDREAVUS ♀. A wild misdreavus who has taken to hanging around Clara’s home and scaring passerbys.
-GOLETT. Unlike most of the ghost types who just seem to like loitering around Clara’s home, Golett will at times assist Clara with her research. Clara herself is very interested in what ‘mysterious energies’ allow the Gollet to move around, and keeps the pokemon around as a research subject of sorts.
-SPIRITOMB. A wild spiritomb who has recently just… shown up in Clara’s attic. Clara isn’t sure how it got up there, she is probably less concerned about its presence than she should be.
-LITWICK (x13). The wild litwick tend to come around her home as they please, leaving and entering as they wish.

BIOGRAPHY

Heard about those strings of grave robberies in town lately?
The rumors of skeletons walking around in the dead of night?
Perhaps you saw one from the corner of your eye.
Perhaps you saw a group of rattling bones dancing under the pale moonlight?
Spirits stir from ancient crypts, the dead awoken from an eternal slumber.Probably just rumors.Piles of bones can’t just move on their own after all.
Not unless someone else is pulling the strings.One of legend, one of magic, one that can twist and weave the world around them to their every whim.
One who plays with even the border of life and death.The witch.Some may claim she isn’t real.
That her kind is little more than a fairytale.
But truth is often stranger than fiction.

A born mage, Clara is the youngest member of the Lorelei family, a family of witches with a long history and a rather large still living family line, something that has become extremely rare after the events of the Witch Hunts. While her family has historically always had dealings with the dead (even now in the modern age, the Lorelei family holds down the job of morticians within the small Unovan town they have called home for the last couple of years) Clara took a particular interest in death.To Clara, death was never something to be feared. It was as natural a part of life as well… living was. A continuation of a cycle, not a stop to it. As such, Clara’s growing curiosity and desire to, in her own words, ‘better understand death’ eventually led to her discovering her talents in arcane arts of a very dark, very undead, nature. Clara herself views these talents as nothing to fear or worry about. Not that this stops some of her family from being concerned for her anyway.Still, it’s undeniable that Clara is an extremely talented necromancer, even at her young age she has gained quick mastery over the practice, and spends every moment only pushing herself to discover better and bigger uses for her magic. This has led to her in recent years taking off on her own away from her family home to further research and experiment with her magical findings.Moving from Unova to Kalos, making a home for herself in a rather unassuming cabin in the outskirts of Laverre City, and joining a local witch coven, while still a relative newcomer to the community, her presence has already caused quite a stir among those who have met her.Unlike most of her kind, Clara is quite willing to openly interact with humans. This has led to her picking up the job of an assistant for a local human doctor she befriended who doesn’t seem to mind her ‘odd hobbies’ or the myriad ghost types who seem to shadow her every step.

OTHER

POWERS / ABILITIES:
Clara’s specialties revolve around necromancy and similar magic involving the ghostly and undead. She is still a rather young witch however, and while she could easily be considered a prodigy in the field of necromatic magic, there is still much to learn and master about her powers.
-   OVERVIEW.  
- necromancy
- spirit communication
- restorative/healing magic
- creation of fairy rings (inexperienced)
- mana absorption (passive, biological)
- regeneration (passive, biological)
- communication charm & basic magecraft-   Biology & Power-related Quirks:  - POWER SOURCE. Clara’s power source is the flow of death itself (and life to an extent, but life in the sense of 'reanimation/life after death') - not internally in her body, though she is capable of storing up a limited degree of that power.- BODY: Her body operates off mana and is fully dependent on being connected to a greater leyline at all times - it keeps her alive, she will not survive long if her connection is severed.- IRRADIATED: Her body is practically irradiated with energy, and has no real way to hide this. She will show up on any radar that is made to detect the presence of Pokémon, energy leaks, or other anomalies.- HEALING: The magic keeping her body alive actively repairs and maintains it, so she’s prone to healing faster than a regular human. Even among other witches, her powers of regeneration tends to be faster than others. While not so noticeable as to raise immediate alarm bells, it is certainly a much faster pace than an average human. She also doesn’t usually get visibly scarred unless the injury was made by something that clashes with the energy keeping her alive - ie: steel, acid, or poison.- SENSITIVE: Due to being highly attuned to a leyline, she’s able to sense the flow of magic and any major disturbances to it in her immediate area. Major disturbances in her leyline tend to be rare, all things considered, and picking up any will normally send Clara into an immediate ‘time to buckle down until the danger passes’ mode.-   Other Quicks  - COLOR: When manifesting as raw unfocused energy, Clara’s powers have a light violet glow!- IRON: She is essentially a fae. She cannot easily affect Iron and alloys made primarily of iron with her powers, and iron-based attacks or objects will cut through her - and her magic - like butter. Steel-typed moves, pokemon, or abilities are assumed to be Iron-based unless otherwise noted. Non-iron metals do not interact with her nearly as critically.- GHOST MAGNET. Clara is a walking ghost-type magnet. Whether they are drawn to her simply because of the necromatic energy flowing through her body or because of her constant grave robbing is unclear, but it isn’t rare to see a myriad of ghost types following her around.- PSYCHIC: Clara is not a psychic and shows no sign of psychic ability - she cannot generate power by using her own self as the power source, use telekinesis, read minds, or anything else like that. However, she will generally view psychics and the like as pre-evolved Mages and consider them kindred, even if they’re not the same.-   Inventory  
- ‘Necronomicon’ (grimoire, not actually The Necronomicon)
- Transformation Hat. (into a mismagius)
- Disassembled Skeletons.
- Cellphone.
- Silver Dagger.
- Various snacks and juice pouches.
- First Aid Kit.FIGHTING STYLE:Clara would rather avoid combat all together, she is the sort to try to talk or reason her way out of a confrontation instead of letting it come to full blows. That said, if forced into a fight, Clara herself has the physical defensiveness of a wet paper bag. She won’t last long in a close-quarters fight. Fortunately, she rarely has be the one in melee range.Clara is a necromancer after all, if she can help it, she won’t be the one doing the fighting, instead sending hordes of skeleton constructs upon her foes.Much like a classic zombie movie, while her constructs are rarely individually that big of a threat (each one being pretty easy to dispose of on its own) there is strength in numbers, and throwing enough bodies at a problem will typically be enough to either overwhelm her foe, or let Clara slip away in the chaos.She has the ability to command a large multitude of undead at once, her only real limit being how much time she has to prepare in advance and her ability to maintain focus over her constructs.Giving her time to prepare is a huge mistake.Despite her wishy-washy and freewheeling personality, Clara’s magic works best almost entirely based on prior preparation and set up. Something she is keenly aware of. It is because of this she tends to carry bones of her constructs with her (in a backpack) and even store constructs in locations she frequently visits.Do not let the necromancer have time to prepare, unless you want to deal with a Skeleton Horde.As far as her own capabilities go, however, she is a speedy, tenacious thing. While her physical defenses might be lacking, she is notoriously hard to hit (tending to opt for confusing her opponent, or inflicting them with a status effect before retreating to somewhere she will have access to her Horde™) and even if she is injured, she is able to regenerate from injuries rather quickly.She is a witch who plays with the borders of life and death, even by witch standards she is hard to keep down for good.Fortunately Clara really much rather avoid conflict though, and views it more as a last resort than anything.

FAQ.

(currently just c+p off corvidmagicae, since it will cover mostly the same questions relevant to Clara, will be added too/edited later as needed)SHE’S A WITCH? Yep! Specifically, a traditional fairy-tale type witch. The kind you’d see talked about in folklore or legends. She’s not a modern or Hollywood-type witch.
Why? There’s quite a few unexplained things in Pokemon’s universe, from ghost events to giant, immortality-granting fairy-powered death weapons. Things which… don’t exactly function by the rules of science as we know it. Bri is tailored to explore that side of the Pokemon World. Also there was an actual witch in an episode of the anime, so I’m taking it and running.DIFFERENCES? Witch, mage, sorcerer, they’re all essentially the same thing in lore in the end - a mystical, magic-using person who can help or hinder the protagonist depending on their role in the story. Different names from different cultures for the same thing. I use the terms interchangeably, as they’re technically referring to the same type of character archetype, and thus the same type of being on this blog.MEDIA INSPIRATIONS? Though the bulk of my source is from folklore entirely, I have borrowed select concepts from a couple different series! Though, they’re still a pale comparison to how much folklore, history, and general creativity in tying it back into the pokemon world setting influenced this blog.
- Touhou Project
- The Ancient Magus Bride
- Fate/
- Dungeons & Dragons / Pathfinder
(Note: none of these are taken as-is from the original source material, they just influenced ideas.)WHO CAN KNOW SHE’S A WITCH? As long as your character is the observant type, and is able to catch onto her gambit if it’s within their own capabilities, then it’s entirely your call.
If your character is another supernatural creature, has sensitivities to the world around them (psychics/aura users/etc), a fairy type, or fairy type specialist, then feel free to have them know right off the bat or know something’s extremely off about her! They have the means for it, so you don’t need my permission for that.IS THE MAGIC ON THIS BLOG BASED IN REALITY? You mean modern witchcraft and/or any associated religions? No. She’s not that type of witch. She is very strictly a fairy tale type of witch. I know there’s a very active scene for witchcraft, but it is not something that I am personally involved with, so I'm purposely avoiding it in order to avoid possibly disrespecting current practitioners.
However, if you are a current practitioner and you have ideas, suggestions, or anything else you’d like me to think about, I’m all ears! Just because I'm not using modern witchcraft on this blog doesn’t mean I'm not open to improving how I portray things on this muse.
ORIGINS. Bridgette is based on traditional folklore associated with the concept of witches, as well as their standings in history over the course of time, and the old fairy tales involving them. Bridgette herself takes direct inspiration from the German fairy tale Jorinde and Joringel. Of course, modified to put a Pokemon appropriate spin on things. She is specifically meant to be a fairy-tale type witch.
IS SHE HUMAN? OR POKEMON? Neither or Both. Mages are a borderline existence between humanity and everything else, so they’re an uncanny existence with a foot in both doors - one with humanity, and one with pokemon. She looks like a human at face value, but her biology beyond implies otherwise. As such, she’d be a bit of a scientific curiosity if discovered.
Whether or not she's going to be classified as one or the other - or neither - should be done in-thread, between characters. Is she a pokemon, or is she human? Or is she something else entirely? Enjoy your moral ambiguity.
RUMORS & ASSUMPTIONS? Feel free to assume anything about Bridgette’s nature! I mean it! That’s the whole point of her type of character existing - there should be more rumors flying around about her than fact! It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not - the idea that someone out there, somewhere, believes it is true is what matters. If you wanna think she may or may not have done something, no matter how silly or serious, go for it! I’ll run to the hills with it.HOW MUCH DO TABLETOP GAMES ACTUALLY INFLUENCE HER? Personality/plot-wise? Not much. But I have used the Pathfinder Witch class to help me figure out how her abilities work, what all she is capable of, and under what mechanics she operates. Since that system is really nice for that. I’ve actually built a mock-up of her as an end-game or recurring boss NPC, which you can see her build here. As a note though, she should be suffering from quite a few permanent negative levels. I forgot to bake those into the stat sheet.

PERSONALITY

A magician with a constant air of slight exhaustion. She has a rather friendly and lax sort of personality, though she can at times be bad at socializing with most humans as her typical topics of conversation tend to be quite morbid and unsettling. Compared to her Master, she is very sociable, and is the one tasked with greeting guests and completing most busy work around the Wizard Tower they call home.While deeply passionate about cultivating her magic, she seems to find her teacher's lessons quite tedious, and thus will often slack off on them to explore and collect useful Contracts leading to her hurriedly completing her tasks the night before to avoid harsh punishment. This tendency for procrastination tends to follow her into most things, and thus she has a habit for running late when invited out to various social events.This fickle and lax attitude vanishes when it comes to maintaining her Contracts however, and she quite diligently upkeeps and maintains her bargains, never skimping on her end of the deal. Despite her tendency to over-rely on her Contracts to handle all sorts of everyday things for her, she refuses to use short-cuts when it comes to studying and improving her magic making her a surprisingly diligent student all things considered...POSITIVE TRAITS:- words words wordsNEUTRAL TRAITS:- words words wordsNEGATIVE TRAITS:- words words wordsALIGNMENT: Chaotic NeutralMBTI:: ?????LIKES: ?????DISLIKES: ????

BIOGRAPHY

- Was ‘kidnapped’ by an old sorcerer when she was around 9 sometime back in the 1800s, became their apprentice soon after (even though that mostly meant ‘doing chores’/'running errands’ for most of her life)- Has always had the ability to see/communicate with spirits even when she was still human. This was one of the reasons the Sorcerer took interest in her in the first place.- Became a full youkai magician at around 24~ years old- Not very youkai like, she kept a lot of her ‘humanity’, though her tendency to be very casual about performing off-putting rituals and performing strange sacrifices or other such occult acts tends to unnerve a lot of humans and thus most tend to avoid her.- Has formed various Contracts will all manner of creatures. These contracts range from "Spirit that does the laundry" to "Spirit that will save me from being eaten by a tiger" with uses ranging from extremely simple mundane tasks to deeply specific. She has all these contracts perfectly memorized, and is diligent in performing their upkeep when needed.- The Wizard Tower she calls home is a recent arrival to Gensokyo, dragging itself into the Forest of Magic due to The Sorcerer's whims. Now finding herself a newcomer in the Land of Fantasy, Elsie has found herself deeply fascinated by the inner workings of Gensokyo and its various residents.

OTHER

POWERS / ABILITIES:  ABILITY TO CONTACT AND COMMAND THE UNSEEN.  
- Can see all manner of youkai/ghosts/fae and communicate with them with ease. She refers to all these beings as "Spirits"
- While she normally deals only with spirits/demons/ghosts, her ability allows her to contact anything which is ‘Unseen’, fairies, youkai, even people that are invisible, would fall under "Unseen" to her magic.
- Can easily form contracts/pacts/bargains with the Unseen to aid her in various things.
- How ‘serious’ this connection is depends on what spirit is summoned and the nature of their contract, the duration of the deals also varies wildly.
- Can use these same spirits to tell fortunes/foresee the future (though most of the time what she sees is questionable at best)
- There is no limit to how many Contracts she can have up at a time, the only restriction being what she is doing to keep all those Spirits bound to her in the first place.  ABILITY TO USE MAGIC.  
- Knows most forms of basic mage craft, though is far from an expert.
- Her basic magic is channeled through tarot cards purely for the aesthetic of it and could just as easily use anything else, she just likes being thematic
- A lot of her magic is enhanced through the spirits she summons, and she specializes in magic DEALING with Spirits (necromancy, possessions, ect.)  MAGE BIOLOGY.  
- Like all youkai magicians, she no longer needs to eat, drink, or sleep, relying on her connection to magic to keep her body alive for her. Magic will also naturally repair her body over time, allowing her to quickly heal from most injuries given enough time.
- Physically, she is still only as strong as an average human. A rather physically inactive one at that.  DANMAKU.  
- A form of fighting common in Gensokyo, preferred over normal combat because it avoids bloodshed.
- Her own Spell Cards have a Tarot/Major Arcana motif
- She primarily uses purple/pink/white card and heart shaped danmaku
- Uses her contracted spirits to fight…. Though under the Spell Card Rules this results in the use of ‘phantasmal bullets’ that have no effect on regular humans.
- Besides the major arcana motif, she also has spell cards named off of major incidents said to have been predicted by someone in the past (armageddon, the battle of troy, ect.) or major incidents predicted as yet to come (the rapture ect.)FIGHTING STYLE:A very squishy mage. Outside of Spell Card duels, she relies on her contracted spirits to fight others for her and keep her out of harms way. A lot of her contracts are "fallbacks" with various triggers meant to save her if things look dicey.Does badly in close-combat or long/dragged-out fights, and would rather flee long before things turn dire.

THE walpurgisnacht Incident

Suddenly one night in Spring, a mysterious Wizard's Tower from the Outside World appeared deep in the Forest of Magic, one so tall and mighty it pieced over the treeline.The owner of that tower is an Old and Powerful Wizard, who upon arriving in the Land of Fantasy issued a challenge to all of Gensokyo's mages.The Wizard claimed her magic was unmatched, that none in Gensokyo could dare to compare, all mere children to their millennia of experience and if any took issues with this assessment, that they could directly try to prove themselves at her Tower.Pride of mages on the line, many of Gensokyo's magicians answered the call, and thus begun a contest among them to prove their hard-earned talents as magicians. A Gathering of Witches had ensued.As a byproduct of this, lots of strange things began to occur around Gensokyo... from living brooms wandering the village to talking frogs claiming to be princes... eventually, the Incident Solvers had no choice but to intervene

BIOGRAPHY

Isabelle was born on a chilly October night to Emily and Jonathan Finch. Their only child, the two quickly grew protective of her, especially when the girl became old enough to start expressing the more independent parts of her nature. The Finch's were a well-off family, with enough money to live in comfort and afford some luxuries, many of which were used to care for and educate Isabelle as she grew up. She attended school, and did quite well, maintaining high scores throughout. While always quite sociable, Isabelle never kept any close friends, preferring her time at home or her adventures out alone with her thoughts than to any mundane outings with others her age.In many ways, she took after her father in that regard, though saying it as such was truly an understatement. The two were eerily alike, not just in looks, but also in personality. However, without a doubt, the trait that Isabelle took after her father the most was her love of the written word.Isabelle was born a writer. There was no other way to put it, the word perfectly described her, for it was as if she was born to hold a pen in her hand, born to jot down her words and innermost thoughts onto the page. It didn't matter what it was, journals, essays, poems, notes, just pages upon pages she burned through at an astounding pace, detailing and cataloging whatever caught the girl's interest. She had a passion for it, a burning fire within her, one which could never be extinguished, and she was lucky enough to have a family which gladly indulged that passion. A family which did little more but add fuel to the flame. The luck of having a father and uncle so involved in the world of print she supposed.When she was old enough to, Isabelle began to hone her gift with the help of her father. Soon, she learned of another love, the love for discovery, for uncovering the truth and revealing it to the world for all to see. It was clear the girl was going to follow in her father's footsteps, to become a journalist and reporter for the family newspaper.At the age of 14, Isabelle became an official intern for the ‘Evening Star’, quickly picking up on the knowledge needed to survive in the fast-paced world of the press. She learned what it took to be a reporter, how to seek out the next big scoop and catch the juiciest interviews. Her writing only ever improving and flourishing throughout. By the time she was 15, she began writing her own pieces for the paper. She started out small. No more than a few paragraphs featured on the backs of the undeniably much more important pages, but soon she began to prove her worth. She began to show that she wasn't simply riding by on her father’s coattails, but had the skill to hold her place in the paper by her own merit. Her intuition for finding exciting and new events, and her unique and enchanting writing style slowly gaining her larger and more predominant positions in the paper alongside her fellow journalists. By the time she was 18, she became a full-fledged writer and reporter for the paper, and has been working her way up ever since.

OTHER

THE EVENING STAR:The ‘Evening Star’ is a newspaper company started by Isabelle’s late great-grandfather. While still relatively new compared to other newspaper companies in London, the ‘Evening Star’ has distinguished itself from the competition for its much more unorthodox approach to journalism. The paper has gained notable success and popularity, and while still pretty unknown, the ‘Evening Star’ has begun to make a name for itself in recent years and has begun to gain a loyal following.Isabelle has a shameless reporting style. She has the tendency to “sometimes” exaggerate events and “sometimes” insert her own personal opinions into a story. On top of this, she could care less about who someone is, what rank or title they may carry or how much influence they hold, treating everyone equally in her reports. As a result, many don't want to see themselves in her articles, and she is on less than good terms with some. Still, she does have ethics, and is more interested in pursuing the truth (sometimes to a fault) than ruining other peoples' reputation for the sake of it.FIGHTING STYLE:None. She is a very normal human who doesn't even know how to handle a firearm. Despite her confident personality, in a flight or fight scenario Isabelle much rather flee. It's a good thing she has awfully good endurance and is a very fast runner!
