Those who have been blessed are invited to live in a secluded village where they can learn about their new abilities and well as there responsibilities to the mortals around them. So after the characters eighteenth birthday, they will receive a letter asking them to come and stay in the Blessed Falls Village. There, there is a series of houses where the blessed live. Each house is dedicated to a God or Goddess, so if two people are blessed by Hades... they are now roommates. Residents of Blessed Falls Village can learn more about their abilities through various courses and activities, there will be Elders that will conduct the courses.<br><br>The reasoning is that the blessed have a very important job. The Gods and Goddess' are too busy to handle every possible request or prayer so they set up these villages throughout the world. Blessed Falls Village is just one of many. Each village has a temple just outside of it where people of the near by towns come and leave their offerings and ask for guidance or help. Those requests get filtered and then assigned to the Blessed to help.<br><br>Overall game is going to be sandbox/freeform with events that sort of help with moving things along and bringing everyone back together. lice of Life style role play, characters can have a wide range of ages. They all live in a gated village and have to coexist with each other as well as take on tasks of being a God/Goddesses apprentice.<br><br><br><span style="font-size: 24pt;" class="bbc_size">Available Roles</span><br><br>There are TWO types of roles in the Blessed Falls Village. The Blessed are the younger generation who have just came to live in the village. They are often blessed by one God or Goddess but may have conflict over who gets to bless them. The Elders are the now retiring Blessed, they have served years as an apprentice and are now acting mentors to the next generation. They are often blessed by one God or Goddess but also may have received multiple blessings for they time served, no more than two though. <br><br>If a name is Italicized, it has been approved and their profile is added to this forum. The Face Claims are added in parenthesis. If you want to reserve a spot, just DM me with this little form and title it <strong>"I May End Up Blessed".</strong><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Face Claim Reserve</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="codeheader">Code: <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);" class="codeoperation">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">Name:<br>Character I Want to Reserve:<br>Face Claim:<br></code></pre></div></div><br><br><strong>BLESSED ROLES</strong><br><br>USERNAME | Character Name (Face Claim)<br><br><strong>Zues::</strong>&nbsp; <em>Juggtacular | Zachary Malias Cameron (Jordan Calloway)</em> <strong>&amp;</strong> OPEN<br><strong>Posieden::</strong>&nbsp; <em>Gannamead | Nicholas Edmund Trent (Charles Michael Davis)</em> <strong>&amp;</strong> OPEN<br><strong>Hades::</strong>&nbsp; <em>LamentingQuill | Guǐ Zhǐnán (Kim Jaejoong)</em> <strong>&amp;</strong> OPEN<br><strong>Ares::</strong> <em>DragonGoddess | Alexandra Rose Pretorius (Marie Avgeropoulos)</em> &amp; OPEN<br><strong>Hermes::</strong>&nbsp; <em>Gannameade | Aristotle Hector Simpson (Donnell Blaylock Jr.)</em> <strong>&amp;</strong> OPEN<br><strong>Hephaestus::</strong>&nbsp; <em>AliceInLace | Phoenix Ramirez (Camila Cabello)</em> <strong>&amp;</strong> <em>Cressray | Emil Colton (Tony Thornburg)</em><br><strong>Apollo::</strong>&nbsp; <em>Gannameade | Apollo Christopher King (Robert Christopher Riley)</em> <strong>&amp;</strong> <em>Elizabeth Ecsed | Cassandra (Doukissa Nomikou)</em><br><strong>Dionysus::</strong> <em>DragonGoddess | Stephanie Anne Weasley (Sabrina Lynn)</em> &amp; OPEN<br><strong>Eros::</strong> <em>LamentingQuill | Valentine Maxwell (Yohio)</em> <strong>&amp;</strong> OPEN<br><strong>Chronos::</strong> <em>Cressray | Solomon Deimos Chamberlain (Nick Bateman)</em> <strong>&amp;</strong> OPEN<br><br><br><strong>Hera::</strong>&nbsp; OPEN <strong>&amp;</strong> OPEN<br><strong>Artemis::</strong> OPEN <strong>&amp;</strong> OPEN<br><strong>Aphrodite::</strong>&nbsp; <em>LamentingQuill | Aurora Briars</em> <strong>&amp;</strong> OPEN<br><strong>Athena::</strong>&nbsp; <em>Rainbrows | Carter Augustus Byrd (Gabriel Lefelman)</em> <strong>&amp;</strong> <em>Cressray | Seth Kamiizumi (Natuski Hanae)</em><br><strong>Demeter::</strong>&nbsp; <em>AliceInLace | Autum Rose Bailey (Hailie - Instagram)</em> <strong>&amp;</strong> OPEN<br><strong>Persephone::</strong> <em>LamentingQuill | Liliana Fernvale (Kristen Kreuk)</em> <strong>&amp;</strong> <em>Crony | Vonna Winslow (Evan Rachel Wood)</em><br><strong>Themis::</strong> OPEN <strong>&amp;</strong> OPEN<br><strong>Hecate::</strong> <em>DragonGoddess | Mackenzie Aayana White (Alissa White-Gluz)</em> &amp; <em>AliceInLace | Veronica Night (Susan Coffey)</em><br><br><br><br><strong>ELDERS</strong><br><br><em>NPC/AliceInLace | Akira Takanashi (Demi Moore)</em><br><em>Gannameade | Jeremiah Andreas Davidson (Idris Elba)</em><br><em>Cressray | Nenene Hirasaka (Rio Yamashita)</em><br><em>Rainbrows | Oliver J.

She wears her hair long and loose, but puts it in a braid when she's out in the forest. She wears simple tunic-style shirts and jeans more often than not, with a vest or jacket that has lots of pockets - she doesn't like purses. Has multiple hiking packs of various sizes and colors. Favors greens and greys. Has a distinctive wolf's-head tattoo on her upper arm, and a lot of small scars on her arms, legs, and back.<br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Pleasant, but introverted. Has a tendency to lapse into melancholy moods sometimes, but is overall fairly cheerful most of the time. Loves dogs. Enjoys the hunt for its own sake. Has a playful streak that sometimes crosses the line into sadistic, though she only lets that side out with willing partners or when she's hunting.<br><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> Cerise did not have a happy childhood. Her parents were physically and emotionally abusive; her father was an alcholic, while her mother descended into heroin addiction when she was about nine. She was a troubled child, prone to acting out at school or taking her anger out on herself. She grew up in a small town, on the edge of the woods in rural New England. Once she was old enough, she started spending much of her time out in the woods, trying to hide from her abusive family. Her only solace was when she was out in the forest. Out there, alone with the trees, Cerise found a measure of calm that was sorely absent in her regular life. Her grandfather, the only family member who ever treated her well, taught her to fish, cook, and hike. She loved climbing trees and wandering along the slopes of the hills. When she was sixteen, he started teaching her to handle firearms, and then to hunt. It became her lifeline as her family situation fell apart further - her mother died from an overdose and her father went into a tailspin.<br><br>She moved out at seventeen, getting a job working for a local hunting store. Her life improved drastically - she never spoke to her father again. Her grandfather died later that year. She kept hunting, fishing, and hiking, spending days on backpacking trips - most of her spare money went to outdoors gear. It was a good life, at least by her standards.<br><br>Artemis took note of Cerise when the young woman was out hunting with a rifle at the age of eighteen. Cerise was hunting with a partner whom she didn't know well, a man, and she found him immensely grating. But she tolerated him, right up until he deliberately shot to wound a deer rather than kill it. Not only that, but he then tormented it, frightening and hurting it. Cerise was so upset at his disrespect for the prey, for the sacred cycles of the hunt, that she shot him in the neck. Artemis, pleased by Cerise's skill and respect for the hunt, bestowed a measure of power on her. She got the message telling her about the village shortly thereafter, and jumped on the opportunity. Since then, she has lived in the village, taking care of tasks that require work in the woods or other wild places. She enjoys it, enjoys the feeling of being a part of something bigger than herself, and does her best to make her patron proud. Of course, given that Cerise is a young woman with a high sex drive and her patron is THE virgin goddess, that can be...difficult at times.<br><br>Image is Mariacarla Boscono.</div></div>

From a small child she was able to somehow communicate and make them understand exactly what she wanted them to do. She uses this skill as a job and is very well known for her work with animals that hold unconquerable rage.<br><br><em>Occult knowledge</em> Dabrina is absolutely fascinated by Wicca, she has many books on the subject and is a devout believer. Often turns to her books in attempts to cast spells before using her god powers.<br><br><em>Necromancy</em> Absolute power over the dead, the ability to harness spirit energy and reanimate dead bodies. An extremely volatile power that Dabrina will need to keep in check.<br><br><em>Coloured emotions</em> Dabrina hair&nbsp; betrays her emotions. Usually her hair is an ice blue that is both warm and cool to the touch. However the colour changes with her emotions, get her angry and her hair turns red. Embarrass her and it may turn pink.<br><br><em>Umbrakinesis</em> The ability to generate and manipulate darkness and shadows, while this is a great power if is useless in the face of to much light.<br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Dabrina is a little bit unusual and that's the way she likes it.&nbsp; From the moment she was born the young girl was fascinated with animals and in particular dogs, she says she dislikes cats but it's more that cats dislike her. She loves the canines and spends a lot of time with her own or others pets. Dabrina has always been fascinated with the Macabre and with Wicca, she loves studying it and using what she has learnt. The young woman also enjoys traveling and in particular finding "lost" civilizations and learning about their magic and way of living.<br><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> Dabrina was born to a music rock star and his groupie.&nbsp; Her entire young life was spent in a campervan following the band on tour. As such her education was very gappy as Dabrina never spent long in any school. Dabrina mother Margot absolutely idolized her rock star crush and although their romance had only been a whirlwind one night stand she treasured it and would tell her daughter&nbsp; stories about how great he was. Dabrina father David was a guitar player in the well known band Yel 'N&nbsp; Bash. He for his part had no knowledge of Dabrina, having had more then his fare share of one night stands. If was only when a rather innocent 18 year old Dabrina went to meet her father that he found out she existed at all.<br><br>David lavished the teenager with affection but also unwittingly brought her into the world of sex drugs and rock and roll. Dabrina fell of the straight and narrow faster then a speeding bullet she was into drink and drugs and sex way to soon and David was heartbroken. He paid for the girl to go into rehab and this is where she stayed until she was 20, catching up on all the education she had missed over the years.It was here that Dabrina really came into her own, finding books on Wicca and learning about the accult. One fateful night her innocent seance&nbsp; with the dead turned into her communicating with Hades himself and being bestowed with gifts from him.<br><br><strong>Face Claim</strong> Bella Thorne</div></div>

				<div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Inactive</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/MQxWtpR.jpg)</div><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size">Mei L. Wright</span><br><br><strong>AGE:</strong> 23<br><strong>GENDER:</strong> Female<br><strong>SEXUALITY:</strong> Heterosexual<br><strong>BLESSED BY:</strong> Themis<br><strong>NICKNAMES:</strong> Bambi (PC twin brother, Elias), Lil, Lily M. Benson (The alias she lived under for 2 years)<br><br><br><strong>LIKES:</strong> Reading, musicals, music, orchestral works, fragrant foods, the scent of stargazer lilies, cool and crisp bed sheets, fluffy things, flamingos, squirrels, dogs, <br><strong>DISLIKES:</strong> Sudden and/or abrupt noises, crawly things, substance abuse, assholes, horseback riding, cowards, people that don’t listen or pay attention, grape flavoring, silence.<br><br><br><strong>SKILLS &amp; POWERS:</strong> <br><br>Braille - After losing her sight, Mei had to learn braille and now reads it perfectly. She has also learned to write and use a computer again thanks to this skill.<br><br>Piano - Mei loves to play the Piano despite how late in her life she was introduced to it. You would think that she was an amateur with only eight years of practice under her belt, but you’d be wrong. She proved herself a veritable prodigy, and has even composed her own songs. Playing the piano is one of the few things she has left to help conjure images before her eyes again.<br><br>Velcro - A squirrel that one of her neighbor’s cat’s brought home half dead as a baby. Mei tended to it in secret, keeping the little guy hidden. Well he stuck to her like Velcro ever since, and so she named him properly. She calls him Velly for short, and practically brings him everywhere she goes.<br><br>Psychic - As Themis’s chosen, most of the damage caused to her mind while she was in a coma was not only healed but reworked altogether. Mei now experiences the world on a wavelength most people could never even dream of. This has had multiple side effects on Mei’s life. One of which comes in the form of visions often confusing, muddled and heavily symbolic. Many even Retro-Cognitive in origin. Currently this ability manifests in a mostly random and uncontrolled fashion. She not only sees things on a different level, but she feels, hears, tastes and smells things in a way that isn't connected to normal physical senses, on distances beyond normal ranges. She can sense if a person has abilities and is connected to the gods, as well as their potential to be. At times she can even touch people or objects and gain sensations, sounds, trace information, presences and oftentimes even memories - most of which are retro-cognitive.(Will mostly be controlled by the GM and other players.) This also allows Mei to be aware of strange sensations and changes in the fabrics of reality. As she gains more control over her new abilities they aid her in her duty as Judge and Counselor.<br><br>Champion - Should Mei deem someone guilty of an appropriate grievance, she may choose a champion of Justice that will dispatch of the criminal in whatever means necessary. By choosing a champion she can gift them with extra power, and if they already have abilities of their own, she can amplify them significantly. This boost is temporary, nor does it mean her champion is under her control. They still retain their own freewill and interests. <br><br><br><strong>DISTINGUISHING MARKS:</strong>Mei is very petite and stands no taller than 5’3”. Her eyes don't follow things like the typical person, giving away that she has sight issues. Around one of her wrists she always wears a little charm bracelet with a pink flamingo charm dangling by her palm. She has several piercings along her ears, as well as a handful of tattoos. At the center of each inner wrist is a star, and within each star using a near invisible braille tattooing technique is both her name and that of her lost twin brother's. There is a rose tattooed to her right shoulder in memory of the girl she was trapped with for all those years. The owl on her left arm appeared on her 18th birthday, apparently a gift from Themis for her wisdom and to help give her strength. She also has a few faded scars along her body as well, including the three bullet wounds she endured.<br><br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> While Mei doesn't exactly seem shy, she’s doesn't exactly seem bold either. She tends to tip toe along the line in between, often losing her balance and tipping from one side to the other at varying degrees. There is one thing that can truly be said about Mei though, and that is there is no way could she ever be described as aggressive or hostile. As a matter of fact, while she can often come off as reserved and introverted, she is almost always seen as warm and easy going by her peers. This has unintentionally made her popular among many of her peers who have come to dote on her as their ‘adorkable’ mascot. It doesn’t matter what group or social circle they’re from, there’s a certain aura of genial vulnerability emanating from Mei that just makes it exceedingly difficult to treat her unkindly. On the flip side, however, there are some less than savory characters out there that have found themselves unnaturally abhorrent towards her, and find her both fake and intolerable for some reason they can never seem to logically define.<br><br>However, it's when you truly become her friend that you notice a real difference.. Once she becomes comfortable with someone she is more open and even mischievous at times. She proves to have a quick wit that she often keeps to herself around those she hasn't properly deemed <i>safe</i> yet. Mei is not only playful but impish even and can come off as downright bratty under the right circumstances - although that is usually her just being silly. She has a deep unabated love for animals and while she is generally compassionate towards those of her own species, despite the misgivings of her past she has an incredible sense of empathy and seems capable of sympathizing with just about anyone. Which is both good <i>and</i> bad at times.<br><br><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> <br>Mei’s early life had always been troubled. As a matter of fact, short of her lost twin brother, she prefers not to remember it at all. After she woke up in the hospital, a year of her life lost and sixteen years old, the world she had known before had faded to black. No matter how many times she blinked or rubbed at her green eyes whatever had smeared itself across her vision would never disappear. She could barely see in shadows now. At best she might see smudges of color, but everything else was <i>gone</i>. <br><br>The last thing she remembered was her brother’s whispered promises. Of the warmth of his arms as her body grew chilled. As it would turn out her life as a street urchin came to a very abrupt halt that day. A day that had been <i>over a year ago</i>. At some point after she was brought to the hospital she coded several times during the surgical procedure they tried in a desperate attempt to save her life. Nine transfusions, six hours and a mechanical ventilator later, Mei was stable… but comatose. With her brother separated from her, and under suspicion for her state, and no next of kin to speak for her, the hospital was forced to keep her alive despite how little of a chance she had to wake again. <br><br>When she finally did open her eyes a year later her struggles weren’t over. After having a ventilator down her throat for twelve months she struggled to speak as well. She had lost a significant amount of weight, all muscle, and had to relearn how to walk again. After several weeks of speech therapy she was finally able to ask about her brother, but the answer she got wasn’t what she wanted to hear. <br><br>While they seemed to prove he wasn’t the one that tried to hurt her, they realized the history of the twins. Their status as runaways, the fact her brother had hurt those kids so badly in their last foster home - it all came to the surface. They realized that they weren’t safe with each other, and that her brother was in need of extensive therapy in order to get rid of his ‘Intermittent explosive disorder’. Meanwhile it was a miracle she ever woke up. Mei sustained some brain damage between the blood loss and air denied to her brain. They were not only stunned that she woke up, but that some of it seemed to have even repaired itself. <br><br>At that point Mei was assigned another name in an effort to keep her and her brother from each other. Then they moved her across the country where a fireman they considered a saint took her in and fostered her as his daughter. Unfortunately, he wasn’t quite so virtuous - and she already had a bad enough reputation that no one would believe her anyways. When she finally turned 18 and it was revealed that she had been blessed, that sentiment changed rather suddenly. <br><br>After she was moved into one of the many blessed villages, she had no idea that her brother was among one of them. Nor did she know he would be at the new village she was moved to after having a prophetic dream that called her there in the first place.<br><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">More Images</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center">(https://i.imgur.com/AW3UY75.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/3yp78O2.jpg)<br>(https://i.imgur.com/KqkyH59.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/ShziCmx.jpg)(http://)</div></div></div></div></div>

Both in self-defense of herself and her younger sisters, and to preserve their cultire. Now, she has become a deadly fighter.<br><br><em>- Green thumb:</em> Kirana takes great pride and joy in caring for plants. It started from her family growing their own fruits, vegetables and herbs, but Kirana soon found that there was much enjoyment to be found toiling in the dirt. Gardening fulfils her motherly sensibilities (providing care to young sprouts) and gives her a sense of tranquillity to be surrounded by greens. Thus, over the years, she has learned to grow and take care of any plant anywhere, anytime.<br><br><em>- Multilingual:</em> Speaks over 5 languages including English, Mandarin, Dutch, Japanese, and Indonesian, which is her mother tongue.<br><br><em>- Great cook:</em> Being the oldest girl in the family, Kirana was taught to cook from a very young age, and so, she knows her way around the kitchen, and she loves her spices. 100% Wife Material.<br><br><em>- Bunny Rabbit:</em> While taking care of the Aphrodite Garden, Kirana discovers an abandoned rabbit burrow that had seemingly been raided by a fox. Inside the burrow, she discovered a tiny Netherlands dwarf rabbit kit that looked only a few days old and decided to adopt and take care of it. She named the rabbit Chocola (https://i.pinimg.com/564x/c6/84/93/c68493f2de37183e778d18d0f1e2743e.jpg), and she has been her best friend every since.<br><br><em>- Entrancing performer:</em> When she was young, her parents had her join a cultural studio to keep her in-tune to Indonesian culture. Thus, she was taught a variety of different traditional instruments, dances, and songs. Later, she would be made to perform them in cultural festivals in Indonesia and even abroad. Her heart, however, is in dancing. Although she prefers traditional dances, she has been learning some modern dances as well. Due to Aphrodite's blessing, however, it is physically impossible to look away from her alluring movements when she dances.<br><br><em>- Irresistible Charm:</em><br>Not only in dance, Aphrodite has also blessed Kirana with a near-supernatural ability to passively entrance and allure anyone in general. Though this ability is greatly amplified when she is performing, it is still enough to make one's gaze linger and ignite one's desire. Simply through the way she moves, the way she smiles, the way she speaks, and the unintentionally risque/seductive fit of her clothes, almost like a siren song.<br><br><em>- Sexual Invincibility:</em> Due to Aphrodite's Blessing, Kirana is able to withstand even the roughest, toughest, harshest, most physically taxing forms of sexual foreplay and/or intercourse. This allows her to virtually fulfil any type of kink or fantasy and derive pleasure even from physical abuse, as long as it is in the context of sex. Additionally, she is also protected from any actual injury or harm during sex - as long as the purpose of the brutality is sexual pleasure - which may have seriously injured her or threatened her life otherwise. Bruises, scratches, or soreness from sex only last a day at most and is completely healed the next day.<br><br><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong> Standing at 5’2 and weighing 127 lbs, Kirana is firm and powerful; her tanned body is lined with strong, lean muscle that cling to her bones and is capable of complex and strenuous athletic activities. Her body is a weapon; flexible yet sturdy at the same time. She possesses an hourglass figure; narrow-waisted with a generous swell of her DD-cup and hips. If she had any ounce of fat on her, it would likely be stored away in her ample breasts. Her warm mahogany eyes peek through a waterfall of jet black, waist-length locks; flowing like black silk. As for what she wears, less is more, Kirana always says. She prefers the simple things, cheap but durable garments. Dresses, skirts, shirts, shorts, to tanks, she dresses for her comfort and mood. Although, often she prefers modest, polite clothing. Of course, when the time calls for more tasteful clothing, she never holds back. With garments she sewed and wove and stitched herself, she can be quite an attention grabber as well with motifs and embroidery, jewellery and form-fitting silhouettes.<br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Kirana is - in a word - a fire; warm and welcoming, beckoning, but will burn you if you get too close. Humorous and easy going, kind and easy to get along with, Kirana is a nurturer who is very much in touch with her motherly side, and once you win her heart, you can expect dogged loyalty and devotion. She is kind and caring, endlessly patient and understanding, and she empathises with anyone easily, even if she has never met before. When you first get to know her, you would find that she is polite, well-mannered and humble, but once you get to know her better, you will realize that she is actually quite mischievous and cheeky, often making bad puns or cheesy pickup lines. You can almost say she is almost one of the guys, if it weren’t for the ladylike poise and regal behaviour she exudes subconsciously in moments of silence. Though she seems selfless and naive, when it comes to money, she is very calculating and stingy, and becomes extremely prideful when discussing things she’s passionate about. She is resilient and tough, physically and mentally; she is capable of taking a punch and throwing one too. However, that does not mean she lets her fists fly freely. On the contrary, Kirana is a pacifist who will only fight to protect those she cares about. But once she gets a taste of violence, she will fight tooth and nail with great determination, utilizing her surroundings resourcefully, and it will be near-impossible to stop her. However, it is for this very reason that she prefers to stay out of conflict and rarely interferes with other people’s business. Although she is a hard worker, she is severely undisciplined – often following her heart and moods - and is very laid back, sometimes leaning more along the lines of being lazy. But behind her warm smile and hardy laugh, Kirana hides a great insecurity and lack of self-worth, often causing her to keep her thoughts and feelings to herself, bottling them up and hiding them behind her smile. She has a big heart, letting others in quite easily and wearing her heart on her sleeve. She is passionate, and she feels her emotions powerfully, though she is very shy and hesitant around strangers. Once you earn her trust, she will fight for you, and prioritize you over herself no matter what. However, being the innocent person that she is, she tends to only see the best in people, hence, when this trust is placed on the wrong peraon, she suffers from the consequences and is unable to escape, which makes her prone to depression.<br><br><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> Kirana came from a well-off family. She grew up in a nice, large house with plenty of space for her and her two younger sisters to run and was raised by loving parents. It was an idyllic life; the kind you'd see in movies and romanticised in media. Her father being a politician meant she grew up with quite a few perks in her life, and being a distant relative of the Sultan gave a few others, especially where she lived. People respected her, prioritised her, looked up to her even. She was a role model; to her friends, her sisters, and even her neighbours. She was the example in every extracurricular activity she was involved in. And that meant pressure, and expectations. Very, very high expectations. It was only natural, of course, for the eldest daughter of a prominent politician to be someone admirable, she had to be for the sake of her father’s electability. The same went to her mother and her sisters, of course, but she was her father’s successor.<br><br>And that meant, she was always busy.<br><br>Being groomed in the appropriacies of her culture by her mother and her grandmother ("You must know how to dance this dance, sing this song, play this instrument and cook these meals!") and being involved in a art and culture studios (these studios often taught traditional dances, instruments, and traditional crafts) and martial arts school (for pencak silat, of course) the moment she could stand up on both feet without falling over. Her life was planned out for her and for the most part, she’d simply just followed along. Although none of her decisions had truly been her own, although she never had the freedom most kids her age had, she was happy. Her father was strict, yes, and her life was… Admittedly sheltered, but she was involved in her society and her culture and she got to discover what she loved and do what she loved and she never complained.<br><br>Of course, after her first family trip to Ubud (her mother's hometown), Kirana truly discovered her love of dance. Being the center of traditional dance, Ubud allowed her to enjoy dance on her own accord, outside of obligation. She discovered the lush, rolling, green paddy fields and stretching forests gave her great joy - made her feel at home - and she has been trying to replicate it at her home in Jogjakarta since. At the age of 14, she became more proficient in her pencak silat and dance as the two flowed well into each other, winning her several competitions in the city and region. Thanks to her father’s influence, she was also often invited to dance at the keraton (the sultan’s palace) in front of many visiting tourists, and her love of the art always manages to overcome her stage-fright.<br><br>At the age of 18, everything changed. As Aphrodite's blessing took affect, people - men in particular - began to be drawn to her more... Womanly parts. Her lips, her hips, her breasts, her legs, and naturally, her ass. Suddenly her body was the most interesting thing about her, and mind you, ever since hitting puberty, Kirana has always been curvaceous, with an hourglass body well-trained from dance and silat. But now, there was a special kind of allure that seemed to <em>force</em> people to notice. She started getting stares as she walked down the street, and all her clothes seemed to fit different; more form-fitting and revealing, and – when she dresses in her dance costumes – obscenely seductive. And in her conservative culture, that was the biggest crime a woman could commit. Despite her status, men began to catcall and stare. Women began to gossip and sneer. She got into trouble with her teachers and her parents just for looking the way she was, without intending to. Her friends began to drift away, because she has now become infamous for being a “naughty” girl, and a bad influence. She was alone, shunned even by her own family and kept away from her own sisters, losing motivation to leave her room, let alone the house, and she was no longer able to do things she previously loved.<br><br>Unfortunately, she was eventually driven out of the house – in some very unflattering clothes – to attend a big festival where her family needed to make an appearance. They stayed for pictures and were then free to wander the fair. And that was when it happened. <br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Trigger warning</div><div class="spoiler_body">In the crowd, someone pressed a chloroform cloth over her nose and mouth, and everything faded to black. When she woke up, she was laying on the ground in an empty alleyway and was no longer clothed. There was a man on top of her, his breath reeking of alcohol, and there was a sharp, unbearable pain in her nethers. She was being raped. The thought repulsed her, angered her, and she had never been so furious in her entire life. With a strength she didn’t even know she had, she freed her hands and punched the man square in his face, sending him back with the force behind her hit. She could not see his face, but frankly, she didn’t care. All she knew was that he had to <em>pay</em>. The tables reversed, she was on top of him now, bludgeoning his face with her fists over and over, until her knuckles were bruised and coated with warm blood. She beat him unconscious, and once her fury subsided, she realized what she had done. Horrified, she picked up whatever clothing of her’s she could find and ran to the police station, frantically trying to explain what had happened. She was allowed to call her family while they investigated her claim, but her troubles did not stop there. She became pregnant, and her family wanted the baby gone. They tried as best as they could to cover it up, but word travels fast, and the word was that she had become pregnant out of wedlock at the age of 19. And to make matters worse, she had gotten an abortion to get rid of the baby too. Probably so she could go and get pregnant all over again. If she had been a naughty girl before, she was a slut, a whore, a prostitute now. </div></div> <br><br>The case became a court trial, where her rapist would be sentenced to prison. She was harassed for showing her face on the streets, gossiped about endlessly, and even featured on tabloids and gossip shows. When she could – if she did not have to show up in court - she locked herself in her room all day and night, refusing to come out even to eat. She started getting… Visitors. Thugs who were the “friends” of her rapist, trying to get revenge on her. They trashed their yard and loitered about in front of their gates. Police had to watch their home, on 24-hour surveillance, and it was causing further stress on her and her family. To them, she brought nothing but trouble, and they wanted nothing more to do with her. They wanted her gone, just like her unborn child, and she was to be cast out from the only home she knew, written out of the inheritance and scratched out of their wills. She would be left with nothing, and this <em>broke</em> her. <br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Trigger Warning</div><div class="spoiler_body">Hearing this, she decided to face her fate, coming out to meet the thugs who had been harassing them. They isolated her and cornered her, and then… They had their way with her. Her body was beaten and bruised, violated and used, but this time, she didn’t fight back. She didn’t want to. She thought about her family, the damage she had done, and she wanted to end it all right then and there, so she took it. But she was surprised to find that not only did she stay alive, her body was <em>reciprocating</em> too. She was so disgustingly <em>good</em> at satisfying each and every one of them, and most shockingly of all, it satisfied <em>her</em> too. It made her feel <em>good</em>. It made her feel in control. And that <em>pissed</em> her off. Because that meant everything everyone said about her… Was right. She took out her anger on the thugs that had used her, and beat down every single one of them right there and then, while they were weak in the knees and their heads were spinning from the pleasure. The past had repeated itself, but this time, she was taking control in her own hands. She was going to run away.<br><br>And that was what she did.</div></div> <br><br>Packing her things, she left that very night, with what little money she had, she took a bus to a different city – Jakarta, to be exact – and tried to start a new life. She tried to find regular jobs, washing dishes, working at restaurants, but anyone who recognized her face didn’t want anything to do with her and her bad reputation. So she was left with the only reliable way she could make money; her body. She went to clubs and bars, casinos and empty roads, escorted men, bedded them, whatever they wanted for a price. It was enough to get her through the day, but her options were always limited. There was a stamp on her forehead that branded her as being unwanted, and she took whatever she could get away with. If she stayed at nice hotels, then they would ask for an ID and her identity would be revealed. News would come and… People would know where to find her. If she tried to rent an apartment, the problem was the same. At least in cheap motels and inns, she could use a fake identity, and they won’t ask for an ID. Life was tough, but she did what she needed to do to survive.<br><br>When she turned 20, however, she was approached by a woman she had never seen before. At first she thought this woman must have been a celebrity or a pageant queen, because she was the most stunning person she had ever seen. And when she spoke of gods and goddesses, blessings and being chosen, for a moment, Kirana thought she had died at some point and this person was an angel, tasked with taking her to heaven. And that was only partially incorrect. For the next thing she knew, she was given a beautiful home in a beautiful place, and <em>true</em> second chance. A place where no one knew who she was, what she’d done, and she could be who she wanted to be. And that meant… Someone who was not Blessed by Aphrodite, but Kirana. Just Kirana.<br><br><strong>FACE CLAIM:</strong> Liza Soberano<br><br><div align="center"><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">More Pictures</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/31/62/0a/31620a92425ccf20c1fc29856e8c92ef.jpg) (https://i.pinimg.com/564x/4b/3b/10/4b3b107b39430bb5e90f2b1ea047abc3.jpg) (https://i.pinimg.com/564x/11/69/f3/1169f3f773d416c35c94b745539d4ed9.jpg) (https://i.pinimg.com/564x/23/04/4a/23044aec9a593e97ff72ac96d5363a60.jpg)<br>(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/79/04/74/79047423de08911f84bfe3bbe9d10325.jpg) (https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4d/a5/7c/4da57cea8206f21bff06360473b654ce.gif) (https://i.pinimg.com/564x/3b/49/71/3b497190aea9f659bf6d62666bd4b7ca.jpg) (https://i.pinimg.com/564x/a1/02/4e/a1024e21286339cbdf68ba536aef2fd0.jpg)</div></div></div>

She can tend to most plants with ease and knows how to grows just about anything, her specialty is herbs and produce.<br><br><em>SKILL: Master Chef</em> || Always cooking using her fresh ingredients, she has become a great cook. She makes meals on par with a five star restaurant and has taken lots of courses in various cuisine. Her favorite is anything Italian though. <br><br><em>SKILL: Organic Artist</em> || Autumn loves sketching and is really good at most mediums. Her best work is done with alcohol markers. Her preferred subject is anything organic, plants, flowers, landscapes. She can draw people but isn't as confident in it. <br><br><br><br><em>BLESSED POWER: Botanokinesis</em> || Autumn can use various plant abilities for both offensive and defensive tactics.<br><br><strong>Plant Growth:</strong> Autumn can accelerate the growth of any existing plant. She can use this to produce more, larger, harvests. She can also use it to create a shield or even use vines to attack or bind an opponent. However, there has to be plants already nearby, she can't produce plants from nothing. Her range of control is fifty feet with moderate power. If she is touching the plant, she can accelerate its growth indefinitely but it does make her vulnerable.<br><br><strong>Thorned Vines:</strong> She keeps special seeds on her that she can produce large thorned vines from once they hit the ground. She can use them to attack and deal moderate damage. She can also have the vines expel the thorns for a ranged attack, this attack can hit 100 feet and the farther the distance, the wider the attack spread. It is also weaker at longer distances but can wound more enemies. There is a ten minute cool down before more thorns can be produced. If she runs out of seeds or there is no soil, she can no longer produce the vines.<br><br><br><em>BLESSED POWER: Healing Touch</em> Autumn can heal herself from most wounds within minutes. Larger, more fatal wounds [large bleeding gashes] take an hour or more based on size. She can regenerate limbs over a few days to a week based on size and complexity. She can heal others as well but has to touch them to do so. On other she can heal most small wounds in a few minutes. Large fatal wounds can be healed enough to be manageable [closing a large cut enough to get them stabilized] but she can not fully heal fatal wounds on others. <br><br><br><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong> She keeps her hair a soft pink tone and love to wear it in down in long waves. She has a small succulent line tattoo (https://d2d11z2jyoa884.cloudfront.net/product_images/echeveria_lifestyle_1_20200201060506_300.png) on her right wrist. Her ears have two piercings in each where she usually wears simple studs.<br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> For the most part, Autumn keeps to herself and is fairly quiet. She prefers to be out in the garden sketching or reading a good book. She is over all kind to most unless they do her wrong. She is always trying to help people and wants to see those around her thrive.<br><br><br><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> Autumn and Jasmine were twins, surprising their parents as well as Demeter who had blessed them both while in the womb. The two Blessed twins had quite different personalities.<br><br>From a young age, Autumn was always helping her family with their farm. Her family grew a ton of vegetables and also had a vast apple orchard.&nbsp; Autumn had a lot of responsibilities from a young age and grew to love gardening, so much that her father created a small plot for her to have a garden of her own. She grew tomatoes, pumpkins, peppers, carrots, and also took a love of sunflowers and succulents. As she got older she would compete in local competitions and win nearly every one she entered. It was no wonder since Demeter had chose to bless her.<br><br>When she turned eighteen, she soon realized she had abilities that began to manifest quickly. The most noticeable what that plants seemed to react to her touch and would grow rapidly. She also had developed to heal any non-fatal wound completely. She had received a letter from Blessed Falls Village and was told that she was welcome to come stay there in order to hone her abilities and be able to help others. She couldn't turn down such an amazing opportunity and moved in not long after her eighteenth birthday. She loved living at the village and was the Lead Gardener of the large greenhouse there. She helped to be sure there was always plenty of produce for the village to use.<br><br>She also began dating Valentine, a Eros Blessed. She absolutely adores him and loves how he treats her. Their relationship was going quite strongly and the continue to be each others happiness.<br><br><br><strong>FACE CLAIM:</strong> Hailie (instigram)<br><strong>WRITER:</strong> AliceInLace<br><br><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">More Pictures</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br>(https://i.ibb.co/BBPbCrN/Hailie2.jpg) (https://i.ibb.co/D1gfbkr/Hailie3.jpg)<br><br></div></div>

Without a doubt, Liliana is the courageous type that is determined to persevere and get back onto her feet when knocked down, no matter the situation.<br><br>Loyal to the end, Liliana would sooner take long walk off a short pier than she would betray someone she calls friend… if a situation arose where she would have no choice, it would break her heart greatly.<br><br>Liliana is quite feminine, not because she feels like she has to or feels pressure from anywhere, she just simply enjoys feeling pretty.<br><br><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> <br><br>Liliana’s life began it's path to change forever when she was 16 years old.<br><br>Liliana’s family owned property of the edge of some dense woods and they would frequently come into contact with wild animals like deer, fox, bunnies and etc… well, one day, young Liliana found three baby fox in the woods whimpering near the lifeless body of their mother… the looks of the situation indicated to the teenager that the mother had been killed via two shots to the head from a shotgun… which meant they had hunters trespassing again, as her father NEVER used anything but a pellet gun to scare off any potentially dangerous animals getting too close to the house.<br><br>Fearing for the kits all by themselves in these woods with some unknown hunter roaming about, Liliana took them home… her parents only put up a mild fuss, but relented when Liliana promised them that she’d allow the kits to be reintroduced to the wild as soon as they were old enough to survive on their own.<br><br>Liliana herself took care of the kits every single day before and after school… her tender and loving care did not go unnoticed… Persephone, goddess of Spring, new life and nature… she noticed the tender selfless love of the young girl, she saw great potential in the girl, a great respect for nature… this girl was exactly what she needed in an apprentice…<br><br>After the kits were old and healthy enough to return to the wild… one of the three refused to leave Liliana’s side, he then became her pet and best friend. She named him Todd.<br><br>Liliana knew after all this that what she wanted more than anything was to work with animals, she wanted to heal and fix all their ailments and ouchies… she wanted to become a veterinarian. On the other hand, she adored flowers and the process of planting them and caring for them as they grew… why not do both?<br><br>So the girl worked her ass off hard to study animal medicine right away, she was going to be damn good and ready to get into the very best Vet school she could get her hands on… and much to the shock of her teachers and parents… Liliana’s hard work and dedication got her noticed right away… at only 17… <br><br>She began apprenticing under one of the most skilled and well known Veterinarians in the state, Dr. Leon Slate, Liliana continued her high school career online so she’d still be able to graduate.<br>Liliana showed such promise and natural talent for what she was doing… Dr. Slate began letting her work with animals after only six months of his tutelage and after a month of watching her work with these animals like she’d been doing it all her life. He hoped maybe she’d take over for him one day.<br><br>Liliana even managed to work part time at a local florist shop in town, the aging lady that owned the place was so grateful for a set of talented young hands to help her. Mrs. Riley was just the sweetest lady.<br><br>Then, on the eve of Liliana’s eighteenth birthday… some amazing incredible things began to happen…<br><br>When she went to go check on, feed and change dressings on some animals that had gotten surgery earlier in the day… she was hearing voices… male and female alike… thanking her, telling her how grateful they were to have her and they loved her…<br><br>It quickly became clear… it was her furry patients talking to her! She tested her theory with speaking to the clinic live-in therapy dog… and he responded! He actually talked back to her her! Well… he didn’t move his lips, but she heard his voice in her head!<br><br>The following day, still reeling from her new discovery, Liliana went into the flower shop to open for the owner whom was visiting the doctor for aching joints… and when she went to affectionately stroke the leaf of a growing rose bush… the plant abruptly sprung into full bloom! Beautiful vibrantly red blooms all over the blush!<br><br>It was all the girl could do but stare at her hands for almost twenty minutes before she thought to try it again, this time touching a poor shrub that the owner had been trying to restore to health… and the moment she touched the soil at it’s base… from the base and traveling up to the top leaf, the bush was healthy and young once again…<br><br>“What is going on with me?”<br><br>A voice responded in her head, explaining everything in great detail… that was the day that she knew she’d been hand chosen by the Greek goddess of Spring, new life and flowers… ever since she was sixteen, caring for a trio of helpless little hungry orphaned kits…<br><br>Persephone also explained to her that an elder was coming to fetch her, to bring her to where she had much to learn in order to do great good in the world. It was for the good of all that she go with the elder.<br><br>It made her sad to leave Dr. Slate and Mrs. Riley… but who was a mere mortal to go against the will of a deity?

She can typically calm a situation when she is in a good mind state. She can also help others talk through issues before resorting to force.<br><br><em>SKILL - Perfectionist:</em> Akira is a MAJOR perfectionist, this allows her to complete tasks with a high level of accuracy and quality. However, it slows down her process and can take her longer to do something. If anything goes wrong, she takes a huge mental hit.<br><br><br><em>BLESSED POWER - Lightening Strike:</em> She can control the electricity in the air to create lightening and hit targets. Not the greatest accuracy but the range damage from the charged air is enough to knock nearby people off their tracks. To get hit by the lightening is often fatal. She can do this for about twenty minutes and then needs a four hour cool down.<br><br><em>BLESSED POWER - Charged Static:</em> She can also charge herself with static and deliver a large shock. Can be used like a taser in close combat, but also could work like a defibrillator. She can only disperse this energy in up to three large bursts [as an attack], or up to ten small bursts [better for use as a defibrillator or to simple stun opponents].<br><br><em>BLESSED POWER - Shock Arrow:</em> With special copper arrows created, Akira can shoot them from her bow and once she hits her target, send a smaller jolt of electricity directly to it. Not as strong as her Lightening Strike hit, but still enough to do some major damage. She can only do this for as many arrows as she has.<br><br><em>BLESSED POWER - Shape Shift:</em> Akira can also shape shift, often taking the form of a black cat. She can hold this form for no more than a day, less if she is injured. If the injury is fatal, she will transform back instantly.<br><br><br><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong> Akira has long dark hair and is slender and statuesque. She has a second form as a black cat, slightly larger then a typical house cat with piercing green eyes.<br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Akira is strong willed and often a bit stubborn. She isn't one to easily be pushed over and walked on. She is often kind, calm, and always very organized.<br><br><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> Akira was orphaned as a baby and was quickly adopted by a older couple. She had a very good upbringing and her parents always made sure to help Akira pursue her passions. She loved her adoptive parents but not know where she came from was hard on her. She never felt like she fit in, her powers manifested very early, even for a Blessed. Her parents always tried to reassure her that she was just destined for something great, a gift from the Gods. She never quite saw it though. She was chosen by Zeus for her strong will and ability to take control. Growing up, she always took the lead on school projects and social events. Her parents passed away while she was in her twenties and she soon moved to the Blessed Falls Village. She very quickly worked her way up the ranks until the last Head Elder nominated her as his replacement when she was only thirty-four, the Gods agreed to the choice and she took over.<br><br>Now she helps new residents get used to life within the Village as well as ensure the safety of them. She organizes the requests from the locals, helps with the assigning of missions, and organize events within the community. She is highly grateful for her position and hopes to make a difference in the world around her. The last few years she has begun struggling with self doubt and it has take a toll on her mentally. She begins to worry she was promoted by mistake and doesn't think she can do her job. <br><br><br><strong>FACE CLAIM:</strong> Demi Moore<br><strong>WRITER:</strong> AliceInLace

Loves Nature. Can sometimes prefer to be in control of certain non-sexual situations. Likes eating, primarily pasta, and enjoys cooking. <br><strong>DISLIKES:</strong> Rudeness, those who disrespect nature, mushrooms (likes to look at but not for eating, yuck.), poorly made food. <br><br><br><strong>SKILLS &amp; POWERS:</strong> <br><em>Music</em> -- Carter is very skilled in several instruments, including the piano, guitar, and ukulele, however he has a natural knack for being able to play most anything on any instrument.&nbsp; (Skill 1/4)<br><br><em>Art/crafting</em> -- In addition to being skilled in instruments, he is well skilled in crafting art pieces. Preferably, he does sketches with nature, and his art pieces tend to look life-like. Athena is not only Goddess of War, but also represents creativity. His skills in both music and art were present before he was blessed by the Goddess, but have continued to only rapidly improve since then. (Skill 2/4)<br><br><em>Skilled Swordsman</em> -- Considering Athena is the God of war, it would suit Carter to also be well in battle. He has practiced somewhat with a sword, and after being blessed, he skills continue to only improve, much like his artistic abilities. Unlike his artistic abilities, he cares less about fighting than he does drawing or painting. (Skill 3/4)<br><br><em>Trashy Friends</em> -- Ever since he was a child, Carter had been friends with a young raccoon named Ross. Ross enjoys painting with his human companion, and the two seem to be able to understand and talk to each other, even when Ross is silent. Athena had an owl familiar, and Carter has a raccoon. He is capable of conversing and getting along with other raccoons, but they are not companions like Ross is. Ross doesn't follow life spans of raccoons either, as he is almost as old as Carter is. (Based on artist Bob Ross <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header"> Bob Ross</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://assets.simpleviewinc.com/simpleview/image/fetch/c_fill,h_574,q_75,w_400/https://assets.simpleviewinc.com/simpleview/image/upload/v1/clients/loudoun/BR00097_002__238bbeb7-27bd-4229-b435-02191594fd22.jpg)</div></div> ) (<div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">This is Ross</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/66/fc/48/66fc48f7aa82389945f150bb0e0b656f.jpg)</div></div> ) (Blessed Power 1/3)<br><br><em>Athena's War</em> -- While not actually Athena's true shield, Carter is capable of summoning a shield and a sword at will. The shield has a Gorgon's head displayed on the front, much like Zues' Aegis, which Athena often wielded. It is merely a replica, and has yet to ever break while he uses it. The sword is an ordinary sword, but has also not seemed to break. He has not tested it against many things, though. (Blessed Power 2/3) <br><br><em>Resist</em> -- Being Blessed up by the Goddess of Wisdom, Carter has developed the ability to resist falling into trances, being manipulated, etc. Athena has granted him the wisdom to understand when someone is attempting to trance him. The ability isn't necessarily something he controls, but if his willingness to comply with the person outweighs his resistance ability, then it fails. While great against strangers, if the person he trusts and is close to tries to use something on him, his ability is most likely going to fail or kick in too late. (Blessed Power 3/3)<br><br><br><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong> Carter is about average in height (according to American standards) at 5'9. He's a little lanky, but there is some muscle to him, just not an overabundance. His ears are pierced and he often will wear simple black, small gauges in them. Sometimes, he can be seen wearing glasses, but usually only during the night before bed or in the morning after. Preferably, he'd wear his contacts because he thinks that his glasses make him look silly. Carter's hair is bright red and can be described as fluffy and curly at the ends. Mostly, he is clean shaven or with little stubble every now and then.<br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Generally, Carter is a happy, Go-Lucky guy. He always tried to make the best of things and see things from an optimist's point of view. With this light mindset, he can easily overcome most challenges that are thrown his way and work himself out of tricky situations. He's friendly and mostly outgoing but knows when to back off or leave someone alone. Despite his affinity for loud music and his outgoing personality, Carter also enjoys the quiet, peacefulness of life. He loves nature and sitting within forests, off the path, where he can be alone with no one but nature around him. This is also where he finds he does his best sketch work, out in the trees. This adventurous trait of his can sometimes leave him in trouble, as he isn't always the best with directions. A kind man, he'd do most anything to help those in need around him but can also tend to be protective to those he is close with. <br><br><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> Carter's life started with him living with his parents, who owned a small restaurant in a not-so great part of town. His mother taught him how to cook and he helped his parents run the family business. One day, a man in a suit came in and demanded money from his father, who had been taking loans from another man in order to keep their restaurant afloat.&nbsp; Instead of money, to the horror of the then 10 year old Carter, his father offered him instead to the man. Since then, Carter had worked for the Loan Shark. <br><br>Working there wasn't as awful as it seemed. Yes, he would get beaten up if he wasn't able to clean or cook or file those papers fast enough, but it also had its benefits. From the hours of nine pm to nine am, Carter was free from work and allowed to do whatever he wanted. It was during those times at night when he would wander the streets of the beaten down, southern town. Nightlife was amazing. There were people everywhere, if you knew how to find them. There was a group of misfit kids around his age that lived and worked on the streets who taught him how to pickpocket, how to be sneaky, how to rule the streets. There was a man who owned an underground bar who taught and later hired Carter to play instruments for his customers. The loan shark who took him didn't pay, and this is how he would earn almost every cent, through the tips and small weekly paychecks he would receive. Eventually, he would adopt this over running with the misfits. <br><br>One night, he had stumbled upon a baby raccoon trapped in a trash can, and he would come to find that he was able to understand the needs and wants of the raccoon. Over the next many years, this ability would be refined through their friendships, and now they are inseparable and flawlessly understand one another.<br><br>When he was finally eighteen, the loan shark wasn't legally able to contain Carter anymore, and kicked him out instead. With no where else to go, he turned to the man that had hired and taught him, and was taken in there. That night, he had received his blessing from Athena, and though he didn't tell the old man, knew that he wasn't going to be able to stay there forever. Behind the man's back, Carter learned of his abilities and how to use them, mastering them, but all the while knowing that the more he mastered these skills, the sooner he was to having to leave. There wasn't any particular reason why he knew this, but there was a feeling he just had in the pit of his stomach that he wasn't meant to be there. <br><br>Once he received a letter in the mail telling him that he was invited to Blessed Falls Village, Carter knew that place is where he was thinking of all along. He would soon bid the man farewell and make his journey to his next home and next adventure. <br><br><br><strong>FACE CLAIM:</strong> Gabriel Lefelman<br><strong>WRITER:</strong> Rainbrows

He is at Olympic level for his weight class which is Middleweight.</li><li><strong>Swimming:</strong> In fact, he lettered in it, at both high school and college levels.</li><li><strong>Physical Rehab:</strong> His work as a PTA has imbued him with knowledge as to how the body works and gifted him with the ability to help others heal.</li><li><strong>Plays Violin:</strong> Has played since he was seven years of age and is now learning to write his own music.</li></ul><span style="font-family: comic sans ms;" class="bbc_font">Powers</span><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Healing Water:</strong> Specifically he has the ability to heal himself if he can get to water of any kind: a stream, a sink, an ocean, a rain storm.

However, doing so for longer than a few minutes at a time leaves him weakened. </li></ul><br><strong>Note on Powers:</strong> His water based powers can be opposed by ice, fire or magma based powers and he is susceptible to electrical based attacks.<br><br><br><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong> Deston is all lean muscle and high cheekbones. Standing at just at 5'9 and weighing in at 162 lbs, he looks deceptively light and hits like a truck. His gaze is forthright and intense, partially due to the lightness of it and he tends to dress for comfort, not class. In water for prolonged periods of time, his hair turns a golden blond however it is normally black and cut low. No tattoos mar his skin but he does have scars on his hands and arms.<br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Introverted and quiet, Deston spends a LOT of time, when he isn't at work, alone. He does not trust easily and harbors a deep well of anger that he hides behind drawn out silences and music. Though he loathes rudeness in others, he uses biting sarcasm to keep people at bay and very rarely indulges in things just for fun. Secretive and calm under pressure, he has an analytical mind which makes romance something he truly does not understand.<br><br><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> A child of mixed heritage, Deston was raised by his grandparents after the accidental overdose of his mother.&nbsp; Surrounded by people who looked nothing like him and deeply scarred by loss, the young boy grew up with a quick temper and faster hands. It was his grandfather who turned him toward the boxing ring when he was still in fifth grade and it was his grandmother who developed his love of classical music, playing piano for him when he was sad and finding a tutor for him when he fell in love with the violin in second grade.<br><br>A natural in the water, Deston spent many a summer playing in the creeks and rivers near his home and that soon developed into a need for competition. This was also encouraged by his grandparents and he spent most of middle school and all of high school on a swim team. Just before he was due to begin college, he lost his grandparents to a house fire. Between the money from insurance and a scholarship based around his athletic endeavors, the young man attended college and received his Associate Degree in Physical Therapy before becoming certified and licensed as a PTA to work with those who required aquatic rehabilitation. <br><br>During all of this, Deston grew and changed and not always in ways he recognized. Things that should have left scars behind (Like when he put his hand through a plate glass window) didn't, not if he ran the wounds under water. However, it was the fact that he could breathe underwater that truly caused him to understand that he had been blessed in some way...and then he received a letter. So, after putting in his notice at work, he left to find out just what was happening to him.<br><br>He knew where to go...and he knew he wouldn't rest until he got the answers he needed. If he could help others in some way without getting too close? Well, that would be a bonus.<br><br><br><strong>FACE CLAIM:</strong> Dudley O'Shaughnessy<br><strong>WRITER:</strong> Wolfling72 | Wolfi<br><br><div align="center"><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Couple more pics</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.imgur.com/yAWCQ4N.gif)(https://i.imgur.com/HZc3QVm.jpg?1)</div></div></div>[/retired]</div></div>

It is all at once and she must rest to recuperate.</li></ul><br><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong> At a completely disappointing 5 feet tall and weighing a whopping 110 pounds, Selene's wide eyes gaze at the world from a position closer to the ground than most. Comfortable in camo or workout gear, she does not cut an impressive figure and rarely thinks about how she looks to others. After all, looks mean nothing, less than nothing. It is what a person feels, how they think, how they process that matters, right? She has two tattoos. On her left bicep is a Tribal wolf/moon (https://www.askideas.com/media/18/Full-Moon-And-Howling-Tribal-Wolf-Tattoo-Design.jpg) and on her left shoulder blade is a tribal Moon/arrow combination (https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4c/1d/a6/4c1da617b8b0d0f61abc85e81433e80a.jpg) representative of a goddess of the hunt. (It was her very first tat, a birthday gift at age 16)<br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Selene is a mouthy little so and so, but it's all in fun. The concept of political correctness does not apply as she says what she means, refuses to apologize for her beliefs and doesn't give a shit if she gains your approval. Always on the move, Selene is drawn to adventure and is as apt to take off without planning as she is to show up with a veritable notebook filled with ideas. She can hold a grudge for years, is vindictive and apt to explode at any perceived slight BUT she has a also sweet nature and is comfortable with those she allows to get close. The issue is that very few see that aspect as she does not let very many in.<br><br><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> She was blessed. Her parents have told her so, her big brother believes it to be so, therefore it MUST be true, right? She grew up on various military bases, untroubled by those who surrounded her, safe in the bosom of her family with a dad who fought wars for her and a mother who worked from home doing language translation for educational books. Her brother, Elio, (How odd that his name means sun while hers is representative of the moon!!) included her in his forays with his friends, never left her behind. <br><br>She was a tomboy. Short haired and wild eyed, with a wide gleaming smile filled with mischief.&nbsp; Of course, her dad was an avid hunter and whenever he had downtime and they were stateside, especially if they were back in the mountains of West Virginia, he hunted and passed that love on to both of his children. Selene didn't like the loudness of the guns but she picked up the bow easily enough and grew so proficient with it that her father stopped bugging her to use a rifle or shotgun.<br><br>At sixteen, she noticed that she could outlast her dad and brother when it came to hiking or crouching. At seventeen, she realized that she hadn't missed a target in well over three years. At eighteen? She heard a whisper in her mind, a lightly accented voice, that told her to go to her mother. Upon arrival at home, she found a letter, addressed to her and inviting her to come and visit. With no ready cash at hand, and with LOTS of complaints from her family, Selene decided to go and see what the fuss was about.<br><br>It just took her a little longer to arrive than she planned.<br><br><br><strong>FACE CLAIM:</strong> Kiersey Clemons<br><strong>WRITER:</strong> Wolfling72 or Wolfi<br><br><div align="center"><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">couple more pics</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.imgur.com/E7DxWjl.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/HieRb2u.jpg)</div></div></div></div></div>

Doesn't mind otherwise<br><br><br><strong>LIKES:</strong> Board games (particularly chess), rock and metal music, studying mythologies, silver and grey, writing and reading, coffee, smoking.<br><strong>DISLIKES:</strong> Suck-ups, anything involving a doctor, sweets, most vegetables, crowds, the cold.<br><br><br><strong>SKILLS &amp; POWERS:</strong><br><em>Multilingual</em> In addition to English, Seth speaks several dialects of Japanese (due to his mother) and a smattering of German.<br><em>Writing</em> Seth fancies himself as a skilled author, though he is yet to publish anything beyond fan fiction.<br><em>Medicine</em> Despite never getting a doctorate, Seth has an accomplished knowledge of the medical field.<br><br><em>Foresight</em> While requiring a hefty measure of concentration, Seth can peer roughly five seconds into the future, allowing him to determine the most likely actions of whatever he sees. Comes with dual drawbacks, in that, Seth's already poor vision is hampered even further, and that it only shows the single most likely course of action, allowing a skilled opponent to feint without detection. With some exertion, Seth can expand the scope of his sight allowing for more time (up to ten seconds maximum), or making potential actions more clear. This expansion, however, drains his stamina incredibly fast and is not suited to drawn out battles.<br><em>Weapon Mastery</em> As expected of a war goddess' blessing, Seth can quickly master any weapon that falls into his hands.<br><em>Crafting Mastery</em> Given the resources, Seth can perfectly construct any design or concept, making DIY projects a breeze.<br><br><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong> Coming in at 6'2" and 178 pounds, Seth is fairly big for Asian standards thanks to his mixed heritage. Due to an exorbitant amount of reading as a child, he wears very thick glasses with a large frame. Usually wears baggy clothes, but is surprisingly muscular for a nerd.<br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Seth is highly introverted, which alongside his hatred of crowds, was something developed from years of bullying in school. Unlike most introverts though, he will quickly come of out his shell even on subjects he doesn't enjoy, and has no problem speaking in front of crowds or otherwise interacting with society. Over the years he has become much more outspoken on his morals and beliefs, but otherwise maintains a very reserved, straight-laced attitude toward most things.<br><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> Seth was born from the union of a Scottish tourist and his Japanese wife, and is the second of seven children. Once his younger siblings started to be born, Seth took to the privacy of his room more often, delving into books of all genres, but enjoying mythologies the most. With his father owning a small logistics firm in America and his mother doting on the young ones, Seth's only active source of familial affection came from his older sister, who was his crush for quite some time during his childhood.<br><br>Upon entering school, Seth quickly tore through his schoolwork, graduating high school at 13, resulting in constant bullying from a number of sporty jocks and loathing for any demeaning nicknames resulting from his relative youth. The child genius attempted pursuing a medical degree specializing in complex surgeries, but dropped his studies after his first year of medical to apply for police academy instead. During academy training, Seth discovered his ability to perceive the future in an accident, saving the life of his would-be partner and current best friend, Shawn. During their training together, Seth and Shawn were nearly inseparable from that point onward, pining after the same women more often than they liked to admit, and sharing their habits and quirks. Because of this, Seth developed a heavy nicotine addiction and has no major plans of giving it up, but he is conscious of the scent and will quickly put out his smokes in close proximity to non-smokers.<br><br>It wasn't until the day before his final psych exam that Athena finally spoke to him, disclosing what the nature of his powers were and where to go to train himself for the future she intended for him. After going from surgeon to policeman to a hero like he had read about, Seth was scared to tell his parents about his new life quest, scampering away from his family knowing full well they would struggle to accept him back should he return. As distant as they had been, Seth battled himself internally to conclude that cutting ties with his family would be for the best.<br><br>And so now, he has become a young man out on his own, who threw away everything to chase a voice that claimed to have gifted him a power, belonging to a goddess the world had assumed dead for millennia. Seth drove his way to the Village, and after a few days of getting accustomed to his new surroundings, he is ready to fight whatever battles his wit guides him into, even should he start the fights himself, somewhat hoping for a chance to retaliate against those bullying types for the years he got to view the inside of a locker.<br><br>Seth has also started a munitions and weaponry company, though he has little hand in how the company and its factories run. His net worth is in the low 7 digits.<br><br><br><strong>FACE CLAIM:</strong> Natuski Hanae<br><strong>WRITER:</strong> Cressray (cress)

She can pinpoint EXACTLY where this girl is and telepathically track her after getting a lock on her energy.<br><br>The drawback is the energy it takes to maintain this, she can only maintain the connection for twenty four hours before she absolutely must break it or risk exhausting herself to the point of fainting.</li><li>Power~<br><br>See within: Aurora can help young women to take a journey inside their own souls and see the beautiful and breathtaking woman inside each and every female, the true beautiful you.

He's learned multiple forms of martial arts(mainly practical and pure fighting arts) including Capoeira, Krav Maga, Pencak Silat, Muay Thai, Sambo, BJJ, and more. He is a five-time Silver Gloves champion, and a two-time Golden Gloves champion, and has won several MMA tournaments as well. He is officially undefeated in Boxing as well as MMA.<br><br>Gifted Musician - Zach has been playing guitar, and piano as well as singing for quite a while. His uncle is in a band, and he always played at reunions, around the house, and he even wrote Zach's ring music. It was only natural for him to love music...getting free lessons for a few years didn't hurt either.<br><br>Free-Running - It started as a hobby to get around, but then it was just fun. Having trained in Capoeira made the transition much easier for him. He's been freerunning since he was fourteen, and has gotten damn good at it. <br><br>Charismatic - Zach has a magnetic personality. People just seem to be drawn to him, his smile, and who he is as a person. It's easy for him to talk and for others to listen, and he seems to be able to get people to see his point of view even when they disagree or simply don't want to.<br><br>Thorondor - A massive Eagle that was gifted to him by his father on his eighteenth birthday. Thorondor got his name because Zach loves Lord of the Rings, so he named him after the Lord of the Eagles. Thorondor has human level, if not greater intelligence, and can speak, although he rarely talks to anyone other than Zach.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Powers</span><br><br>Weather Manipulation - Like his father, Zachary has command over the weather itself. He is able to create storms on sunny days, make powerful winds, cause downpours in a desert, and very much like Zeus, summon bolts of lightning from the sky, either to strike his enemies or to his hand so he can use it like a weapon.<br><br>Godly Physique - When he was blessed, while his physical appearance didn't change, his physical makeup did. Put simply, his body has been transformed to that of a Demi-God. As such he possesses physical capabilities far beyond that of humans. From strength, to speed, agility, reflexes and even his senses; all are multiple times higher than what humans are capable of.<br><br>Flight - Probably the most fun of his powers. He can fly. By willing himself into the air, Zach can move about weightless and free from the forces of gravity. He can hover in place just as easily as he can soar about. And if he really pours on the speed, he can push past the speed of sound and beyond.<br><br>Weaknesses: Zach's primary weakness is that he is still young and newly awakened to his Demi-God abilities. He's been training for an entire year since he discovered he was blessed, but a year isn't long in the grand scheme of things. Even after that amount of time, he is still getting used to his powers due to the potency of his abilities. For example, he can fly at normal speeds for quite a while. But if he goes near or at his full speed, he can only stay in the air for <em>maybe</em> an hour if he gives it all he has. His strength, while prodigious, has limits, although he hasn't found them yet, he's sure they are there because he hasn't gone around lifting everything he can find. Still he has no problem hoisting vehicles above his head and throwing them. Even though all of his superhuman physical abilities are a part of him, they require energy to use. He eats a <em>lot</em> and if he isn't properly fed, hunger can lead to a decrease in his overall power level. <br><br><br><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong> Zach is something like a human Adonis, and considering his heritage, it's no wonder. He stands six feet, six inches tall. And he weighs around 240lbs, with nary an ounce of fat on him above the healthy limit. His frame isn't just powerful, it's also well defined and his muscles seem to be perfectly carved rather than built up over time.<br><br>&nbsp;He is very handsome, with sharp features, and pearly white teeth. He tends to keep a very neatly groomed goatee, and has his hair dreaded, with the sides shaved. He's gotten quite a few tattoos ever since his mother went with him to the parlor his first time. <br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Looking at all he's accomplished, the fact that he came from a bit of money, and who his biological father is, you would assume Zach is an arrogant, snobby, asshole. That is simply not true. He was raised on the concept of hard work, and earning what you get. This has given him a strong work ethic and caused him to push himself for every success he's earned, as none were given.<br><br>&nbsp;Now that isn't to say he can't be a little cocky, or a delightful asshole from time to time, but that's most anybody and it's easy to tell he knows where to draw the line. He is a nice guy and would give someone the shirt off his back if they needed it, but he's also not someone to mess with and will just as quickly deck a guy for getting in his face, or messing with someone they shouldn't have. He's a big flirt, as he's been surrounded by groupies ever since he was younger, but it's rare he actually falls for someone enough to chase them, as he's usually the one getting hounded. <br><br>He's not sure what the name for it is, but after finding out that Zeus is his biological father, he has been determined to shine a positive light on his heritage. Zeus himself may not be that great(even if time has mellowed him), but his son can be great instead and make their house something people look up to in awe instead of fear.<br><br><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> Zachary was conceived in Denver, Colorado on the night of the biggest thunderstorm the state has ever had. And it rained again the night he was born, thunder and lightning booming through the sky right up until his cries pierced the delivery room. At that very moment, the storm died down, and he was brought into the world. Aside from one being, no one was privy to what the storms meant, and his parents just called him their little "rain man".<br><br>&nbsp;From a very young age, it was clear that something was different about Zachary. And at three, after seeing a kung-fu movie and nearly perfectly imitating a hook (https://i.imgur.com/zTV53Sb.gif), his parents thought it would be a good idea to get him into martial arts. It turned out to be an amazing idea, and little Zach took to it like a fish to water. Up until he was about nine, he spent day after day learning one fighting style after the other. You wouldn't think his father was a technician and his mother a lawyer. <br><br>A few weeks after he turned ten, his father decided to enter him into the Silver Gloves, and after a few test fights, he ranked high enough to compete. He won that year, with his opponent not even lasting a full two rounds. While still training in other styles, he continued to compete and won every year after until the age of fifteen, becoming the undisputed Silver Gloves champion of Colorado. He continued to train every day, and in the two years before he could compete in Golden Gloves, he picked up music and discovered a talent as natural as fighting.<br><br>&nbsp;In those two years, he also won a few MMA tournaments, keeping his skills sharp and fresh. By the time his seventeenth birthday rolled around, he was something of a legend in Denver, and his name was starting to be spread across other states. Gyms had fighters challenging him all the time, and he loved every second of it. Finally, the time came and he registered for Golden Gloves, and went on to win two years straight. His plans were to graduate high school and go directly into pro-boxing(as it made the most money by a landslide), but during a family vacation to Greece, he got this unshakable <em>urge</em> to visit the ruins of the Temple of Zeus.<br><br>&nbsp;He went alone, as if in a trance, and when he was standing in front of those massive pillars, the sky turned dark and lightning struck before the first drop of rain began to fall. Suddenly, there before him was a gigantic man made of marble, sat upon a throne of gold and jewels, with a crown upon his brow and a lightning bolt in his hand. (https://wilstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Statue-of-Zeus-at-Olympia.jpg) He told Zachary the impossibly obvious, that he was the Almighty Zeus, King of the Olympian Gods. And that Zachary, was his <em>son</em>.<br><br>&nbsp;He told him that he would do great works in the name of the Gods, and that he would be a champion of the people one day. He also gave him two things, his blessed letter, and an eagle that would stay by his side as a loyal companion and messenger. Before he could even ask a question, Zeus pointed his bolt at his son and let it fly. Zach didn't even have a chance to comprehend what was going on before he was hit. When he woke up the next morning in his room at their rented villa, he was sure he just ate too much souvlaki, but the letter on his desk still bearing scorch marks, and the giant bird preening itself on his windowsill told him differently.<br><br>&nbsp;He quickly read the letter, and immediately understood that his dream had been as real as day. <em>Zeus</em>, King of Olympus and all the Gods was his father...he was a Demi-God. He couldn't just tell his parents, though, so he cooked up a plan. With all his money earned from tournaments and sponsorships, he told them he wanted to go on a trip around the world and see what all there was before he got back into the ring.<br><br>&nbsp;His coaches announced his temporary retirement, and in a few weeks, he'd packed everything up and drove away from home for the first time to go to a magical village of God-blessed superhumans. He arrived knowing only that he had powers, and that they were difficult to control, but he's been training as hard as he does at everything else his entire time in the village, and has started coming into his own as one of the Blessed.<br><br><br><strong>FACE CLAIM:</strong> Jordan Calloway<br><strong>WRITER:</strong> Juggtacular</span><br>

				<br><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/cxaGXif.jpg)</div><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size">Kaiya Omoi</span><br><br><br><strong>AGE:</strong> Twenty eight<br><strong>GENDER:</strong> Cis Female<br><strong>SEXUALITY:</strong> Lesbian<br><strong>BLESSED BY:</strong> Hera<br><strong>NICKNAMES:</strong> Kai<br><br><br><strong>LIKES:</strong> Gardening, reading, starry nights, yoga, caring for animals (birds especially), and tea<br><strong>DISLIKES:</strong> Violence, spicy food, crowded spaces, rudeness<br><br><br><strong>SKILLS &amp; POWERS:</strong> <br>Skills: <br>Diplomacy: Kaiya knows what to say and when to say it to win people over. Her calm demeanor and steady hand can be soothing to those around her. With her wit and her kindness this girl knows how to broker a deal, keep the peace, and negotiate her way out of a situation.<br><br>Midwife: Kaiya has trained as a midwife. With Hera being her patron goddess she know all about childbirth and the caring of children.<br><br>Sewing and weaving: To ease her mind Kaiya took up sewing at a young age. She fell in love with the beautiful silk kimonos of her homeland and wished at one point to be such a skilled dress maker that she could make kimonos of her very own. But as she learned of her fate as a blessed of Hera this passion had to take a back seat. She still sews in her spare time and even picked up weaving as well since many of the goddesses are quite adept in this skill. She saw it appropriate to learn all the ways one can fashion cloth into something beautiful.<br><br>Gardening: Kaiya has always had a green thumb. She loves taking a stripe through a well kept garden or even the great abundance of the wilderness. Tending to the wonders of nature allows Kaiya to keep her hands busy as she thinks about other things, and helps her feel like she is giving back to nature and the gods who created it.<br><br><br>Powers:<br>Silver tongue: Kaiya has a knack for convincing people of what to do. Her words carry a weight that is inexplicable. When she speaks people want to listen. She can use this to her advantage if needed, but usually she uses it in more diplomatic ways. A soothing word to calm someone in anger, a gentle nudge to do the right thing, a calming voice when there is chaos and uncertainty. She doesn’t understand her powers fully yet, but if there are rising tensions Kaiya is sure to try and sooth it away with her calming words. Use of this power is mentally taxing however. The stronger the will of the person or the more people she uses her ability on the bigger the strain on herself. Pushing this ability too far can cause massive headaches and even strain Kaiya to unconsciousness if used too often or on a subject stronger willed than herself.<br><br>Healing magic: Kaiya has the ability to heal others with her touch. Granted magic by her patron goddess, the queen of Olympus and the most magically adept of the gods, Kaiya can channel this blessing to aid others. She can remove poisons from their system, set and mend bones, and repair the flesh. It’s is quite a taxing experience for the maiden, but it is a gift she wishes to share as she cares for those in need. To use this ability Kaiya must use her own life force and endure it into whomever she is healing. As such she often feels tired and weak after using this ability. After any major use of it she usually must lie down and rest for a time before she even has the strength to stand again.<br><br>Sorcery: Hera has granted her chosen with similar magical powers to the ones she wields. Kaiya is frightened by this power and seldom uses it, and as such she has very little grasp on what she can do with it. She has been able to call the elements forth from her fingertips, as well as change one creature into another just as her goddess has done countless times in her myths. The extent of this power is unknown to Kaiya, and she hopes she never truly has a need for it. This ability, though powerful, is not normally intended for a mortal. The energy for Kaiya’s magic is fed by her own energy and life force. The more magic she uses the bigger the strain on her body, weakening her physically and even destroying her body if too much magic is used. It is a dangerous price to pay for such powers, and Kaiya does not wish to pay the toll unless it is a dire situation.<br><br><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong> Kaiya is 173 cm (5’8”) with deep brown eyes and raven black hair. She is rather lithe and petite, with not a lot of muscle on her. She usually dresses in nicer clothes, likening the more flowing blouses and skirts or dresses ranging from spring dresses to sheath dresses, to Qi&nbsp; pao depending on how she is feeling. The colors she usually wears are golds, whites, silvers, but occasionally she switches it up with blues and greens. The only distinguishing mark she has is a large scar across her back from a terrible burn. However it is hard to see because it is now covered by a massive peacock tattoo that covers most of her back. She wears her hair down and straight or up in a variety of buns. <br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Kaiya is quiet, reserved, and above all calm. She is not aloof or entitled, far from it, she is simply a contented individual. Kaiya can come off as frail, but she simply doesn’t see the need to solve problems with brash over confidence or brute force. She prefers a more measured and subtle approach to life. Always willing to help, even if that is just moral support, Kaiya enjoys working for and helping others. She sees herself as a big sister to everyone in her village and as such can be a bit doting. She has little refused for her own happiness and will give you the shirt off of her back if it would help you. She sometimes comes off as too gentle or giving, especially to her patron goddess who is always urging her to be more assertive and to take charge as a leader. She would like to be a leader, but at the moment is still just a little to shy and soft spoken. So for now she doesn’t have a problem being on the sidelines so long as she can be of help. If she ever feels overwhelmed she is prone to panic attacks and will often times seclude herself away to retreat into her hobbies and ease her mind before rejoining the world at large. If anyone makes sudden movements near her she is also still a little jumpy. Her timidness is something she is constantly trying to overcome.<br><br><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> born the eldest daughter to a poor family of rice farmers in the Mie prefecture of Japan Kaiya lived a very simple upbringing. Her early years were good, but her father was a very traditional man. He believed the future of the household fell to the eldest son, and as such wanted to father a boy of his own. However as the years went by and Kaiya’s mother delivered daughter after daughter her father became angrier and angrier. By the 3rd girl he began to demand his wife give him a son. By the 4th he began beating his wife, and by the 5th and final daughter he had taken to drinking what little money the family made away. And as their father beat their mother and eventually turned his anger to his children Kaiya did all she could to protect her younger sisters. She seemed to be the only one who could calm him, at least a little. She would plead with him, promise him to make sure her and her sisters would keep the family afloat and do extra work in the fields after school. She would talk with the neighboring families and procure whatever he needed to distract him from his woes. It was an uneasy life but Kaiya’s mother helped them get by. Her mother was gentle and sweet and always to Kaiya that someday she would marry and get away from this lot in life. It sounded nice, but Kaiya knew that what she wanted would not please her father. <br><br>So instead of taking suitors herself Kaiya did everything she could to get her younger sisters married off instead. She met with their neighbors, spoke to other workers in the field, students at her and her sisters schools. She knew everything about her siblings and learned all she could about who might be a match for them. Who might be their savior to take them away from their abusive father. As the years went by she managed to get one sister after another matches up with the boy of their dreams and quickly whisked away to a better life. But as her younger sibling left, this left fewer targets for her father’s growing rage. After all, why wasn’t his eldest marrying? Why wouldn’t she bring home a son? If he couldn’t birth a son the least his wretched daughter could do was marry someone better off than herself so they could take care of him in his old age. He began trying to arrange marriages himself, dragging his daughter around the village to meet suitor after suitor. And with the skill of a politician Kaiya was able to convince her father, or the boy, or the boys’ families that she was not a match for their sons. For deep down Kaiya knew she this was not her destiny. Her desires were not for a loving husband. What she wanted her father would never allow. She she boded her time and protected her mother and sibling as best she could until there was just herself and her parents left. <br><br>Her mother worried that her eldest was not able to find someone to take her away from the house, and so one day finally decided to confront her daughter about it. She pleaded and prodded to know why her daughter had not found a husband for herself. And when Kaiya’s excuses finally ran out the girl decided to risk telling her mother the truth. She had never found a husband because she didn’t want a husband. What she wanted, her father would never approve of. She couldn’t give him a son to marry into the family because she was not interested in men. The mother was heartbroken for her daughter because to follow her heart would be to call down the wrath of her father. They agreed to keep it a secret and the two began a new plan. They would save up enough money to one day secret themselves away in night, and finally be free of their abusive father/husband.<br><br>Then, one night her father came home in a drunken rage. Kaiya had found a husband for her youngest sister, and had secreted her away in the night to get her free from their father. When he had found out that he had lost yet another possibility for a son he came home drunk as sin and with a rage burning in his eyes. He was furious, how dare his worthless daughters abandon their father! How dare his eldest refuse to marry, how dare their mother allow such underhanded women to be raised in his household!! He screamed at Kaiya and her mother, as he burst through the door, letting his rage propel him. He tossed furniture aside as he lunged for the women. And as he tore through their tiny house he upended something. Hidden in a piece of pottery that he had accidentally smashed he found the money the two women had been hiding away to escape with. Infuriated Kaiya’s father kept at the nearest thing to him, his daughter, and began to beat her with a rage he had never before exhibited. Crying that he had been cursed with a demon for a daughter and that why&nbsp; he had no sons. When he mother tried to save her his fury turned to her instead. Reaching for something to strike her with the mad man grabbed the pot over the fire and flung the boiling hot liquid at his wife. But without hesitation Kaiya had kept between her mother and the scalding liquid. It splashed over her back and she let out a scream as if she were dying. This sound snapped her father out of his rage just enough to realize what had happened. He tried to blubber out an apology once he saw the terrible burn that now covered the entirety of his daughters back. Through gritted teeth Kaiya told her father in a steady voice to leave and never return to their house. In a stupor the man simply nodded and stumbled out of the house. That night Kaiya and her mother fled to the nearest train station and purchases tickets to a station as far away as they could afford.<br><br>On that train ride and Kaiya sat in the most excruciating pain she had ever suffered, trying to comfort her sobbing mother, a stranger approached them. It’s was a foreign woman, dressed in a strange green and blue robe with a hood. She offered to help Kaiya and her mother, and said she had seen what had happened. Kaiya did not believe this until the woman recounted the nightmare she and her mother had just undergone. As her jaw hung open in surprise this mysterious woman reached out to touch Kaiya’s wounded back. The girl went to wince in pain but a warmth radiated from the woman’s hand and Kaiya’s back suddenly no longer ached. Pulling back her hood and speaking to Kaiya again the woman introduced herself as the goddess Hera. She mentioned she had been keeping an eye on Kaiya for some time now. She saw in her a champion she could rely on, a woman who protected other women and upheld the virtues of marriage and motherhood. Hera could use a girl like Kaiya. And if she agreed to come with her the goddess promised to take care of both Kaiya and her mother. And that no man would ever harm her mother again so long as she lived.<br><br>That was three years ago. Kaiya said goodbye to her mother a she was taken by Hera to a new home, Blessed Falls Village. Her mother was put up in a nice and comfortable home far from her father in Tokyo, and Kaiya sends her letters to stay in touch. She had spent the last three years learning what it meant to be blessed by the gods and her new role to play in carrying out the wishes of her new patron. Kaiya feels she owes her life, her safety, and everything she now has to Hera. She wants to make her goddess proud and prove that her faith placed in Kaiya is well deserved.<br><br><br><strong>FACE CLAIM:</strong> Yukie Nakama<br><strong>WRITER:</strong> Thunder Splash

She may not know a lot of super fancy styles or techniques, but she knows enough to make you regret getting anywhere within arms reach of her when if she’s pissed at you, so keep your distance if you want all your bones to stay unbroken.<br>Weapons training: Being raises by member of the IRA and joining the marines had some perks. Serenity knows how to use a weapon, from more sophisticated modern weapons like a Browning M2 machine gun, to simple weapons like a xiphos or a sling shot, to just a heavy rock if it can deal damage Serenity raise hell with and she’s not afraid to improvise.<br>The fiddle: Serenity is actually quite good at playing the fiddle. She can play a jaunty tune and get you feet tappin’ a jig like any old bars from her homeland’s days of yore. She finds it soothing sometimes to let loose and let the music take her.<br>History/ mythology buff: She may not seem like the academic type, but one thing Serenity finds fascinating is history. From the tales of Ancient Greece, to the history of Ireland, to the legends of the Greek gods<br><br>The Throes of Passion: Serenity has been blessed with the god like powers of her deity. She has enhanced strength, speed, and reflexes and is always ready for battle. Just like the fires of love the deeper into this power she goes the more fiery she becomes. As Serenity let’s herself fall further into the ecstasy of battle her very form begins to change. Her flaming red hair begins to flow and crackle like fire and her pale skin begins to glow a pink color and her eyes shine a bright yellow. She embodies the mighty visage of her patron when she gives in to her passion for warfare. However, the deeper into this form she goes the more taxing it is on her body. And just like people can get swept up in their passions, if Serenity gives in to her base desires too much she may not be able to stop her rampage until her passion has burned out.<br><br>Arrow of love: Just like Aphrodite’s son Eros Serenity can summon a magical bow and arrows. If she strikes two targets with these arrows they will fall madly in love with each other. The effects are only temporary however, and can last between an hour to up to a day. Once a target is hit Serenity cannot undo the magic. She has to let it run it’s course until it wears off.<br><br>Heart strings: Serenity’s goddess is all about love and helping people connect to those they love. Serenity is able to see the flames of people’s hearts and the strings that connect one heart to another. Serenity can use this power to see who does or doesn’t love someone, and even if that love is platonic, romantic, or purely lustful. <br><br><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong> Serenity is 6’2” of pure unadulterated muscle. She is built like a brick house and more often than not is seen sporting some sort of scowl rather than a smile. Her fiery red hair is usually a mess and she has piercing green eyes. She sports tank tops or basic t’s and usually some sort of cargo or camo pants with combat boots. She has a tattoo on her right shoulder of the marines emblem&nbsp; with Semper Fi in a ribbon above it and The Morrígan in a ribbon bellow it, and on her left shoulder is a flower of Aphrodite tattoo. <br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Serenity is a hot head. She takes after her deity in that she leads with her emotions rather than her head. She is incredibly blunt and has no problem calling things how she sees them and she isn’t afraid to speak her mind. She can be a good friend if you can survive her long enough to reach that level, but when she gets going there is no stopping her. Serenity’s motto is fight hard, love hard, live hard and she follows it to a T. Always willing to throw down and a bit to easy to provoke her short fuse has gotten her into a lot of fights over the years. But once you’ve earned her trust she will have your back to the end and there is nothing she wouldn’t do for you. Serenity’s guilty pleasures is playing matchmaker, and she will pursue her OTPs with a zeal that makes Aphrodite proud, though she will never admit this is what she is doing. Serenity is also an alcoholic and will often get into more trouble as she starts drinking. She can become even more blunt and a little cruel when she’s really sloshed. <br><br><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> Serenity was born in Galway, Ireland to a family of dedicated Irish nationals. Both of her parents were high ranking member of the Provisional Irish Republican Army, so she had a rather tumultuous childhood. Her parents taught her to fight what she believed in and to use any means necessary to reach her goals. They were often on the run across Ireland to keep their family safe as they planned and carried out attacks against the British in Northern Ireland. As a young girl Serenity learned how to protect herself and how to hold her own in a fight. But there was something else see larked that the little firecracker took to heart, and that was that love would carry you through anything. Her parents were madly in love, the kind of deep carnal passion that is rare to see stand the test of time. They got each other through everything, all the up and all the downs. Serenity saw this, and she knew that not only was this love, but that all love should be like this, passionate, deep, and true. <br><br>When Serenity was 8 the troubles were brought to a close by the Good Friday Agreement, but her parents were of the minority now that were not happy with the agreement. They remained active with the IRA until its final disarmament in 2005. At this time, with her parents no longer able to accomplish their goal of fighting for a united Ireland, decided to to take matters into their own hands. But as they plotted to bring the conflict back into swing before the disarmament their plot was discovered and they were forced to flee for their own safety. The family barely managed to escape the law and boarded a plane to their new life in the United States. Still filled with a fighting spirit and a yearning for battle Serenity set her sites on her next big hurrah, joining the USMC. <br><br>It was in the marines that Serenity was in her element. She deployed as soon as she was able and lived for the thrill of being on a battlefield. The danger, the excitement, the thrill of risking life for glory and victory. Serenity quickly became the most accomplished and daring member of her squad, always leading her mates into any fray they might find themselves in. This was how she earned her nickname The Morrígan, for the Irish goddess of war and fate. But just like she’d seen with her parents Mx Serenity not only fought hard but as an adult she learned to love hard as well. She had flings all across the countries they traveled with anyone willing to drink with her and share her bed. But there was one person in particular she became smitten with. There was a man in her squad that was one of few people in her life that always seemed to be able to get her to smile or to pull her out of her anger or funks. Her heart burned for this man, and she could tell of all the loves she’d had and left this one was real. It was almost like a fairytale story, two warriors falling in love in the midst of war. The pair agreed that this deployment would be their last, and afterwards they would return home and settle down together, a concept that Serenity had never considered for herself before. <br><br>But the fates it appeared were not on the couples side. In the last few months of their final deployment disaster struck. On a dusty road traveling to a new base their transport was destroyed by a roadside bomb. Serenity and her love were thrown from the vehicle as bullets began to rain down on them, it was an ambush. With no cover anywhere nearby the pair did all they could to take out their assailants as they retreated. But as they fled her beloved took a round in his throat and crumpled to the dirt. Serenity dropped to cover his body in a vain attempt to shield him as she desperately tried to save his life. But there was nothing she could do. It was in this moment that Serenity’s heartbroken wails were heard by the goddess of love. As the girl sobbed and death rained around her her red hair began to crackle and whip about like fire. Her skin shone a bright pink and her eyes flared like stars. Serenity hardly remembers what happened next, but she was the only person to survive the ambush, stumbling into the base covered in the blood of her enemies. After that day Serenity fell deep into drinking, drowning her sorrows in whiskey, porter, and meaningless one night stands. As the day to return home came upon her Serenity received a letter. It said she was expected at a place called Blessed Falls. And what’s more it had information about her that no one else should have possibly known. She didn’t know what it meant, or who the hell had sent it, who signs their name as the fuckin’ Greek goddess Aphrodite? She didn’t know what it meant, but she figured her life couldn’t get any worse. So when she finally got home she headed off on a journey to find this Blessed Falls and get to the bottom of this strange letter.<br><br><br><strong>FACE CLAIM:</strong> Jessie Buckley<br><strong>WRITER:</strong> Thunder Splash

His voice can also command a spirit to appear before him if he knows their full name, they cannot resist his call. (It has to be their real name or it doesn’t work).<br><br><span class="bbc_u">The Black Gates-</span> Gui has the ability, given to him by Hades with great discretion, to open the gates to the underworld. Strictly for assisting spirits over to the other side. <br><br>Use of this for other purposes merits severe punishment.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"> Onyx Chains-</span> When an unruly spirit refuses to be cooperative, perhaps even resorting to violence upon the living, Gui can bind them in chains of onyx from Tartarus. <br><br>This takes a lot of energy to overpower angry/violent spirits, so it’s strongly cautioned he doesn’t use this ability more than once a day.<br><br><br><br><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong>Gui stands at 5’7 and weighs in at 140lbs. His naturally black hair is dyed a warm soft ginger brown and his eyes a soulful dark chocolate, he has delightfully pouty kissable lips and a flawless fair complexion. He’s not body builder muscular, but he’s definitely well built and it’s clear he takes very good care of his physique.<br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Gui is usually very quiet, very calm, some might even call him stoic… he is very observant to the world around him, there isn’t much that escapes his attention.<br><br>Many say that Gui has an eerie aura about him, there is just something about him that makes them feel uneasy… they tend to say… he has an aura of death around him… <br><br>Gui can come off to many as indifferent, cold and a bit of a womanizer, he is quite charismatic and alluring to the female gender, quite deliberately as well. <br><br>In truth, Gui is soulfully intelligent and deeply compassionate, especially towards the souls that have been made his job to help.<br><br><br><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> <br><br>Gui has always been different and he’s always known it… kinda hard not to when you’ve had ghosts seeking you out for help since you were five years old. His childhood was not the easiest, his mother tried seeking out help from well practiced mediums and priests to shield her son from these traumas until he could be old enough to decide for himself… but alas, who was the defy the power of a God?<br><br>What Gui’s mother did not know was that the fling she’d had lining perfectly up with when she found out she was pregnant… was none other than Hades himself… <br><br>Sweet Meilin had looked too lovely sitting beneath the cherry blossom trees behind her family’s martial arts studio, pale pink petals softly falling and settling in hair black as ebony… he couldn’t resist her… <br><br>So nine months later, Meilin was pushing out a demi-god, having no idea just how special her little boy really was. Especially when she wasn’t supposed to be able to have children, due to an illness that struck her as a child… her little Gui was her beautiful little miracle.<br><br>For most of his life, Gui kept to himself and found some solace in learning the various style of martial arts being taught by his maternal family members… <br><br>When Gui turned sixteen… the truth was revealed to him… Hades appeared to him in his room long after the rest of the Zhihan household had gone to bed, he told Gui everything, right down to why he stayed away throughout Gui’s childhood. He just wanted Gui to have as normal a life as was possible for him… without the complications of a deity father.<br><br>However, as Gui was getting older, Hades explained that he could really use his son’s help in caring for the souls of the dead… he explained to him what it meant to be even a demi-god of the dead, his sacred duty to guide souls to where they are supposed to go, instead of leaving them to wander aimlessly into madness like so many spirits Gui had met before.<br><br>“I can only be so many places at once, Gui…” Hades had said to him “I need your help… THEY need your help… it is our sacred duty to provide them clarity through the foggy haze of death…”<br><br>Gui needed little convincing, he felt to his core everything his father told him about his duty and etc… it was the truth, somehow, he was pretty sure he’d always known he had some greater purpose, but he just hadn’t known what it was until that night.<br><br>Hades told him to wait until he was eighteen years old, he explained a letter would come for him with directions to a village where his talents would be encouraged and nurtured, a place he could do more good for the dead than ever before.<br><br>For the next two years, Gui busied himself with his martial arts training and helping whatever wayward ghosts came along his path, as he’d always done, as his father told him to continue doing.<br><br>He never told his mother the truth, he didn’t want to break her brain with something so monumental that she’d gotten knocked up by a Greek god.

Fight fans call him Nicky Lightening. He introduces himself as just Lightening.<br><strong>LIKES:</strong> Sparring, training, fighting, romance, seduction, sex, drinking, limited drug use<br><strong>DISLIKES:</strong> Arrogance, narcissism, personal insults, hypocrisy, dishonesty, anything that is slow or boring.<br><strong>SKILLS &amp; POWERS:</strong> <br><br>[Skill] <span class="bbc_u">Athletics</span>: As a lifelong athlete with an incredible work ethic and a demanding training regimen, Nick is simply tougher and can move faster for longer than most people. His conditioning is unparalleled and his cardio in unmatched. He will run faster; he will run further and when he gets there, he will still be able to fight.<br><br>[Skill] <span class="bbc_u">Fighting</span>: In a fight Nick is exactly what you would expect from a Golden Gloves Champion, All American Wrestler and Olympic Gold Medalist. It’s not just that he has a high level of spatial awareness (what fighters call a ring IQ), it’s not just that he has herculean levels of cardio (what fighters call a gas tank and please excuse the pun), it’s not just that his strikes are accurate, or fast that he has incredible knock out power and it’s not just that he is technically proficient. It’s the full package of all of those things. He will become the greatest MMA fighter of his generation.<br><br>[Skill] <span class="bbc_u">Resolve</span>: Nicky lives by the creed: Never say die. He will never quit; he has had bones broken but has never tapped out. He continues to struggle no matter how disadvantageous his position is. It doesn’t matter how many times he is knocked down, again and again, he will continue to rise. It’s almost as if he is just too stupid to quit. Whatever part of the brain it is that tells people when a situation is futile, Etah lacks it. <br><br>[Skill] <span class="bbc_u">Seduction</span>: This is a skill, not a power. There is no brainwashing or mind control here. It’s just that whatever “it” is, Nicky’s got it. Women love him, men adore him, everyone seems to want to fuck him and many people want to be him. This goes far beyond being amorous for Nicky. When he wants someone, he pursues them with wild abandon. This has led him to crawling around the outside of beautiful women’s balconies or jumping from a second story to dodge her husband, more times than is reasonable. Sometimes that exact same situation has led Nicky to bedding the husband as well.<br><br>[Power] <span class="bbc_u">Thunder Bolts</span>: Nicky doesn’t understand this power yet and it scares him a little bit. So aside from a few panicked moments that led to weird discharges of energy this power has never been utilized and he’s never made a concerned effort to develop this power.<br><br>[Power] <span class="bbc_u">Speed</span>: This is Nicky’s most developed power. He is not like the Flash. His type of speed is different. He does indeed run faster than any natural human can, but for him it is speed of thought, speed of movement and speed of hand eye coordination. This power has been with him since he was a child and it is undoubtably why he was so good at fighting.<br><br>[Power] <span class="bbc_u">Weather Control</span>: Nicky is not consciously aware that this is a power. All he&nbsp; vaguely understands s is that when he is angry things tend to catch fire, when he is sad it rains and when he is happy the sky is clear. <br><br><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong> Nick has dark hair which he tends to keep short, the olive colored skin that comes with his Greek heritage and almond shaped eyes. His body is hardened from a life of athletic training.<br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Nicky thrives on competition and self-improvement. He sees all things in life as not just goals to be achieved but more like mountains to climb and fights to win. He often sees people as mountains to climb and fights to win as well. He doesn’t understand people with little work ethic, he doesn’t understand out of shape people and he just doesn’t get pacifists. But he does his best to treat everyone well. He immediately dislikes narcissists but is unaware of how self-centered he can be and how arrogant his supreme self confidence comes across to some.<br><br><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> Nicky is from an upper middle class background in Everyville California, a small town nestled between Oakland and Berkeley. His father Andy owned a bar; his mother Kiki ran the attached restaurant and the while family lived on the top floor. The youngest of three, his younger sister was blind, and his oldest sister was already old enough to be working in the bar by the time he was a teenager.&nbsp; He’s helped in the restaurant for as long as he can remember. <br><br>As a child Nick was being being bullied by kids who didn’t understand his Greek accent. So, his father sent him to a local boxing coach. He wouldn’t be bullied for long because it turned out that boxing was a talent of his. He began training multiple times a week and he competed in his first silver gloves boxing tournament when he was eleven years old. When he was twelve, he won a regional qualifying tournament to go the national Silver Gloves tournament where he lost by points. When he was thirteen, he made it to the national tournament and became a silver gloves champion.&nbsp; <br><br>Outside of school Nick continued to box, but he also began wrestling for the local high school. Over the course of his high school career he would go on to win two state titles. During that same time period, Nick at the age of 17 and then 18 would compete in the Golden Gloves boxing Championship tournament. Both years he won the qualifying regional tournament, the first year he lost at the National Golden Gloves level but in the second year he won. <br><br>In High School Nicky did fine in class; getting some B’s, but mostly C’s. He was friends with all the guys on the wrestling team and he dated a string of cute girls. In many ways he was a stereotypical jock. Given his success in wrestling no one was surprised when he received a full ride scholarship to Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo which was a Division 1 School. In college he would win the NCAA Division 1 championships for his weight class, twice. <br><br>Directly following college graduation, Nicky became an honest to goodness Olympian competing in Boxing, Greco-Roman Wrestling and freestyle wrestling. He won a gold metal for boxing for his weight class and two silver medals for wrestling for his weight class. That was not long ago, and Nicky is still on an emotional high from becoming an Olympian. Now as he has been brought into train with celestial powers, he wonders what new challenges he can find. <br><br>Nick plans on leveraging his elite wrestling and striking to begin a professional Mixed Martial Arts fighter until returning to the real world.<br><br><strong>FACE CLAIM:</strong> Luke Evans (Actor)<br><strong>WRITER:</strong> Etah dna Evol

This includes things like calligraphy, the tea ceremony, flower arranging, and several instruments.<br><br>SKILL - Mythology: Due mostly to personal interest, Nenene is well-versed in Shinto mythology, and has a reasonable understanding of most other major mythologies.<br><br>SKILL - Archery: Being brought up on traditional arts, Nenene is skilled in Kyuudo (Japanese archery) and continued her studies throughout her time in public school.<br><br><br>POWER - Yomi-no-Mon: Kokushiki / Yomi-no-Mon: Hakushiki (Gates of Yomi: Black/Gates of Yomi: White): By channeling the souls of the dead through her own, Nenene can send a departed spirit to the afterlife (Black) or summon the spirits of warriors and soldiers as undead puppets that follow simple commands (White). Depending on the strength and number of souls she is channeling, Nenene may need to supplement this ability with her own life force.<br><br>POWER - Shimei no Te / Seimei no Te (Touch of Death/Touch of Life): Nenene can absorb (Death) or give (Life) energy to and from others while touching them and concentrating, making it a difficult task to hinder an opponent in the middle of combat. If she absorbs too much vitality, Nenene will start to feel nauseous, and if she gives too much vitality she will be become extremely tired.<br><br>POWER - Yomi no Izanai (Invitation to Death): Nenene can generate a large scythe of bleached bones. The weapon itself leaves no wounds, but the damage it inflicts causes the weapon to slowly dye black according to how much pain the target would have suffered. When it reaches an obsidian shade, the weapon can shift through anything, though tougher materials like steel can shield an opponent starting at .5 inches in thickness. The effect is negated automatically in contact with any divinely attuned objects, such as weapons and armor.<br><br>Nenene has yet to recognize the existence of the following powers.<br><br>POWER - Takamagahara no Haren (Destructive Ripples upon the Heavenly Lands): With this power, Nenene is capable of producing the black flames of decay typically attached to entities of death's power. These flames travel at roughly jogging speed, and travel outward from her body to a maximum of 50 yards, even travelling up and down surfaces to form a hemisphere of absolute death around her. Any organic life touched by the flames begins to rot, decay, or rapidly age, turning humans to bones within 75 seconds from initial contact. The flames do not grow like normal fire, merely burning away what they touch without effecting the rest of the afflicted entity. If Nenene moves during the duration of this ability, the hemisphere's entire area moves in tandem, centered on Nenene.<br>So far, this power has only manifested when Nenene is pushed well beyond the limits of her patience, and is essentially a berserk tantrum of her power.<br><br>POWER - Mumei no Ryoubo (Nameless Imperial Tomb): Utilizing the full strength granted to her by her patron, Nenene can completely erase someone from existence. When a target is touched and willed to be affected, all memories of that person will be erased from the minds of everyone they have ever met. Any oddities in other people's memories will be filled in by their brain in the most appropriate way possible, including replacing the target with someone else in the memory or even partial memory loss. Not even Nenene will recognize the target after activating this ability, but she can freely restore the target's existence and everyone's memories of the person in question. Not only does this ability readjust memories, but it can also erase the target's name from physical existence too, such as ID cards or handwritten notes and pictures/videos. Unlike with mental records, this information is replaced by a blank space.<br>So far, Nenene has only used this power subconsciously to prevent herself from remembering her outbursts, and as such has no recollection of this ability or Takamagahara no Haren.<br><br><br><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong> Looks like your stereotypical "cute Japanese girl". Wears her mid-back length hair in twintails, and is known to frequently decorate herself with a small pendant featuring peridot and spinel gems in the shape of a <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Mitsudomoe Magatama</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://spiritfoxtarot.files.wordpress.com/2017/07/photo.jpg?w=480)</div></div> with the peridot filling the black space and spinel filling the white. There is a burn scar covering most of her back. Stands at 4 foot 9 inches, weighing a whopping 82 pounds.<br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Despite her blessing from the god of death, Nenene is extremely innocent and cheerful, the sort of person you'd associate with sunshine and flowers. Flamboyantly outgoing, but extremely innocent about the outside world. Doesn't get most social cues, really doesn't understand sarcasm.<br><br><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> Born a single child to a wealthy family of a lawyer father and a former model mother, Nenene grew up in Chiba, Japan without want for anything. In hopes of preparing her for a future arranged marriage, her family hired tutors to teach everything from math to traditional Japanese arts, only neglecting cooking, as she would never have need to cook her own meals as far as her parents were concerned.<br><br>For 14 years, Nenene grew up sheltered from society, homeschooled with friends selected by her parents from other wealthy families. As she expanded her knowledge, the subject of mythology stood out as a clear favorite of hers, and after devouring the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, Nenene spread out to other pantheons, learning everything she could about the ancient tales and worships.<br><br>On her 15th birthday, the family was driving home from a luxurious dinner when they were involved in a traffic accident. In a matter of pure irony, the vehicle that had struck their car was an oil truck for the company that hired Nenene's father.

Using this ability drains her, causing her to be exhausted, physically weak and vulnerable. Because of this, it is not an ability she uses unless she has no other choice.<br><br>*Persuasion- she has the uncanny(though admittedly not supernatural) ability to convince others to see her point of view<br><br><br><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong> Standing at just over 5 feet 7 inches tall, Elodie has a statuesque build that is naturally slender though maintains some curve due to her inability to take part in most athletics. She does however watch her diet closely and so is not necessarily out of shape or unhealthy in appearance. Her skin is a dark ochre and both her eyes and hair are Black in color. She is seen in long flowing dresses mostly casual in style and either barefoot or in sandals of all kinds, favoring the gladiator sandal type. She wears hoop earrings often, and styles her dark hair in either a loose bun or hanging free. While her gaze is sharp and penetrating, belying her cunning intellect, her smile is warm and as soft as the curves of her face. <br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Elodie can be thought of as boring, because she is neither impulsive or confrontational by nature. But a more accurate description would be 'peaceful'. She is a consummate negotiator, able to see the truth from both sides and find a way to what is best for the situation at hand. Calm and rarely angered, she is nevertheless quite a force to be reckoned with when her anger is at long last properly stoked to action.<br><br><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> Elodie May Reed was adopted in her infancy by a couple who both worked for a major pharmaceutical company as microbiologists in the theoretical research division. Due to their high profile positions, Elodie grew in affluence, in spite of her birth circumstances. Born sickly, with a severe lung infection, much of Elodie's childhood was spent in a hospital room or quarantined within the&nbsp; sterile environment her parents had crafted for her bedroom within their large home. Unable to fit into a regular school setting because of her intensive healthcare needs, Elodie spent the first eleven years of her life homeschooled by the best tutors money could provide. Unable to play outside because of a permanently weakened lung capacity, she turned to books. An especially bright mind, Elodie soaked up the knowledge she was offered voraciously. Because of this, by age eleven she had graduated from high school and by 16 had graduated from a local University with a law degree, taking her bar exam the following year. For the entirety of the year after, Elodie worked as a public defender, specializing in representing minors. It was in this work as a minor herself, that she earned the blessing of the Goddess Themis, for her particular devotion to the ideals of justice and the common good.<br><br><br><strong>FACE CLAIM:</strong> Courtney Eaton<br><strong>WRITER:</strong> AbyssDruid</div></div>

POWERS:</span><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>{Skill}</em> Master Fighter: Lex has been training in many forms of combat since she was a babe.&nbsp; As such, she is well-versed in many different tactics and fighting styles.&nbsp; Except when she does not, she is able to keep a level-head about her and knows how to watch an opponent in order to know his next moves.&nbsp; She is able to adjust fighting styles quickly and easily and adapt to different opponents and terrains, though she always keeps the major rules of battle in mind.</li><li><em>{Skill}</em> Strategist: Though this mainly refers to strategy in fights and battles, Lex was raised with as much acceptance and understanding of how important strategy was in a fight or war as skill.&nbsp; While strategy does not come as naturally to her as does brute force, she is very mindful of it and a great strategist when she wants to be.&nbsp; However, don't ask her to attempt to be a table strategist (or play a game of chess, you Athena wierdos), she will not be able to sit still long enough to finish the game.</li><li><em>{Skill}</em> Acrobatics, Dance, and Parkour (in fighting): When describing the skills of Lexus Pretorius, one must combine acrobatics, dance, and parkour not because they are very similar techniques but because her abilities with them are used in the same way.&nbsp; If you were to ask Lex to use dance or acrobatics in their original form, their true form, she might agree but it would be fairly sloppy with some few good moves sprinkled here and there.&nbsp; However, if one were to watch her fight, it is easy to see that she does have a knowledge or these three subjects, at least as far as they are connected to fighting.</li><li><em>{Skill}</em> Quick Kinesthetic Learner: NEVER ask Lex to sit in a classroom, listen to a lecture, and actually learn anything.&nbsp; She will not learn anything and might even get so frustrated that things get destroyed and people get hurt.&nbsp; However, if she can learn something by <em>doing</em> it, she can learn it fairly quickly.</li><li><em>{Blessed Power} Wrath Imbuement: More like a curse from her claimer, Lex is able to touch another living creature (animal, beast, monster, or human) and cause them to be immediately filled with their utmost levels of rage and an irresistable and unsatiable desire to release it.&nbsp; Lex also has the ability to choose who will be targetted by this person's rage, causing two people who have no issues between them to have unreasonable issues.&nbsp; This rage will be true to Lex's target and cause them to gain the same strengths and detriments as a total rage would give them if it was caused naturally (usually including increased strength but mental distortion and blinders).&nbsp; The target also will not act out of character for themselves, except that any issues that may exist between Lex's target and her target's target will be revealed.&nbsp; However, once Lex uses this power, she cannot reverse it and must allow it to play to its completion (usually a few hours or until one of the two targets become so severely injured immediate medical attention is required; whichever comes first).&nbsp; She usually tries to avoid this power unless she needs to give herself an upper hand in combat; however, as her own rage and aggression can build up so easily if it's not dispersed, someone may fall victim to this.&nbsp; When this happens, the rage imbues itself to the person and targets the person the original target currently has the most issues with.</em></li><li><em>{Blessed Power}</em> Telumkinesis: Ares has bestowed telumkinesis upon Lex which allows her to manipulate weaponry.&nbsp; With telumkinesis, she can conjure and use most weapons very well, even without practice.&nbsp; She can also transform an enemy's weapon into something less threatening as well as telekinetically disarm an opponent.</li><li><em>{Blessed Power} War's Physique: Similar to the blessing of Godly Physique, Lex was born with War's Physique.&nbsp; Because of that, her physical capabilities are much greater than those of an ordinary human.&nbsp; However, unlike the blessing of Godly Physique, the blessing of War's Physique does not include heightened senses (some such as touch have even become worse).&nbsp; Instead, War's Physique grats the blessed a higher pain tolerance and rapid regeneration.&nbsp; This blessing is impacted by the emotions of those around her as when emotions that are related to war (fear, pain, suffering, rage, hate, etc.) are around her, her physical capabilities can rise slightly and healing can speed up slightly.&nbsp; However, when there is little to none of these emotions around her, Lex can either lose some of her physical capabilities and her healing can slow down during that period OR she can suffer injury from this.</em></li></ul><br><br><span style="font-family: engravers mt;" class="bbc_font">APPEARANCE:</span> Lex is a 5'9 woman with long, straight raven hair and brown eyes.&nbsp; She has a lean and muscular physique which many attribute to her constant "work outs" but truthfully would stay lean and muscular even if she wound up laid up for a while.&nbsp; Her hair is often worn at least in a ponytail and always looks extremely fresh and silky at the beginning of the day, but by the end of it, it usually looks pretty greasy.&nbsp; She is known for wearing black, leather, and torn articles of clothing unless she is wearing armor and uses little makeup, except around her eyes where anything she puts on is always worn dark.&nbsp; Due to this lack of makeup, it is easy to see the ever-changing cuts and bruises that live all over her body.&nbsp; Unsurprisingly, Lex does have a few permanent scars on her body, though she won't say where.<br><span style="font-family: engravers mt;" class="bbc_font">PERSONALITY:</span> To most people, Lex seems to be the epitome of the god, Ares.&nbsp; She is strong, always moving, constantly training, has some emotional issues at times, and has a mostly sarcastic sense of humor that can be harsh sometimes.&nbsp; However, those who actually try to get to know her can learn that there is more to her than meets the eye.&nbsp; Lex does value knowledge and strategy, but is not good with subtleties.&nbsp; She can be a loyal and protective friend but will always be fierce and sometimes brash.&nbsp; She does like some of the softer things in life but that part of herself deals in guilty pleasures.&nbsp; Lexus is also highly competitive and always trying to improve herself.&nbsp; She may boast and brag and intimidate but this is mostly a mask to protect herself because she knows she has flaws and some pretty severe ones.<br><span style="font-family: engravers mt;" class="bbc_font">CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</span> Alexandra Pretorius was born into a long line of pirates and murderers, crusaders and heroes, and warmongers and militants.&nbsp; Her mother taught sword fighting, mixed martial arts, and self-defense for a living while her father was a detective.&nbsp; So with the long line that she had, it was of almost no surprise to just about anyone when Ares blessed the little Alexandra Pretorius while she was still in the womb.&nbsp; In the family's eyes, this cemented their ancestry-long devotion to the god of war and made Lex nearly untouchable, like a chosen one.<br><br>In her early years, Lex was taught exactly what it meant to be a Chosen One.&nbsp; Almost as soon as she could walk, she started being taught how to fight.&nbsp; While most children her age would go to daycare, Lexus would go to fighting classes in many different forms.&nbsp; When she reached school age, her expectations were very different from those of other children.&nbsp; While many kids might have gotten horribly punished for bad grades, this was only true for Lex when she wouldn't do well in classes that could directly impact her skill in battle or lost a fight.&nbsp; Her punishments were worse than those of many other children, though, and her faster regeneration made the marks disappear before anyone could get concerned so as far as anyone knew, there was no need for Child Protective Services to get involved.&nbsp; She was still kept in many different training programs and when she would master one, she would begin another.<br><br>Middle school didn't change much for Alexandra, except that her curse began to show itself to a small degree.&nbsp; She began getting into more fights and stood longer in fights against her parents.&nbsp; Her anger started to consume her and she started to get expelled from schools due to her "issues".&nbsp; Though they were proud that they had birthed the "Chosen One", Lex's parents started to grow concerned for her in middle school and took her to see a therapist who diagnosed her with multiple mental disorders including Oppositional Defiance Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyper-Activity (ADHD); however, her parents refused to put her on any medication explaining to Alex that they expected her to learn self-discipline and her lessons with her mother became about discipline moreso than actual fighting.&nbsp; In middle school, Lex also began to find an interest in subjects outside of fighting and started going behind her parents' backs to learn more.<br><br>By high school (or rather high school<strong>s</strong>), Lex had gotten her worst.&nbsp; She was constantly getting into fights and getting kicked out of schools almost as quickly as she got into them.&nbsp; Though they still understood the important role Lex was gifted to play for the Gods, her parents were ready to give up on her by the time she turned 18.&nbsp; Luckily, Ares continued to stick with his choice of blessing Lex and on her 18th birthday, Alexandra Rose Pretorius received the letter that would change her life.&nbsp; She tried not to go at first, even at the pushing, prodding, and pleading of her parents.&nbsp; In fact, she had nearly sworn that she was never going to go to the camp.&nbsp; That is, until she allowed the Energies to fill up too much and she found herself in a rage, aimed directly at her parents.&nbsp; When it was over, her mother had to be immediately sent to the trauma center of the nearest emergency room and her father needed medical attention as well.&nbsp; At that point, she packed her things and left, swearing never to return to her home again.&nbsp; She did still try to avoid the camp for a time but as she was living on the streets, it seemed Ares had sent two dogs to her that she chose to adopt and name Spike and Angel after one of her favorite tv shows.&nbsp; It was these dogs who wound up leading her straight to Blessed Falls and since she really had nowhere else to go, she decided to stay.<br><br>It wasn't until she was living at Blessed Falls that Lex started to understand everything: what she was, who she was, why she was the way she was, and what it all meant.&nbsp; Elders were able to help her understand the Energies of War and learn to control it as well as to harness her other powers.&nbsp; Though she has gotten much better since she moved into Blessed Falls, she continues to maintain pretenses.&nbsp; Few of the Elders seem to understand why this is but the ones that do seem to hope she will let her guard down eventually but don't press the matter too much.&nbsp; Though she does love Blessed Falls, sometimes it can feel more like a cage than a home to her, especially when she's been stationary there for too long instead of being sent out on a mission.&nbsp; When this happens, she will usually take off without any warning but has always returned within a month's time.&nbsp; While Lex does have a few friends who know she really isn't as bad as she seems, she will often push away anyone who starts to get too close, intentionally hurting them so they will back off and she won't hurt them like she hurt her family.<br><span style="font-family: engravers mt;" class="bbc_font">NOTES:</span><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>{Curse}</em> Energies of War: Though it is not really a curse, this is something that interferes greatly in Lex's life and that she only has because of her blessing by the God of War.&nbsp; She still doesn't fully understand it herself, but she does choose to keep it secret from anyone who is not in the need to know.&nbsp; The Energies of War is like a pool that never stops filling up over time.&nbsp; Even in Lex's happiest moments, this pool continues to be filled.&nbsp; While it can be reduced, if the pool starts to near the top, Lex will become much more emotional than usual, the emotions showing as extremes.&nbsp; If the pool is not voluntarily reduced quickly (within a couple days of the initial outbursts), Lex's outbursts will become worse and more frequent and the pool will overflow and the energies will find their own way to reduce.&nbsp; The more Lex fights this or refuses to allow herself to give in to it, the more it will hurt her which could wind up in her requiring serious medical attention.</li><li>Lex has two dogs that are almost always around her.&nbsp; One is a Cane Corso male named <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spike</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f5/fb/03/f5fb035bad5f0c90a122140031b01904.jpg)</div></div>.&nbsp; The other is a Pit Bul/Boxer mix female named <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Angel</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://www.dog-breeds-expert.com/images/Blue-nosed-Pit-bull.jpg)</div></div>.&nbsp; There is nothing supernaturally special about these two; however, they are very loyal and obedient to Alexandra.&nbsp; They are well-trained, but respond only to their Alpha.&nbsp; Neither of them are fixed.</li></ul><br><br><span style="font-family: engravers mt;" class="bbc_font">FACE CLAIM:</span> Marie Avgeropoulos<br><span style="font-family: engravers mt;" class="bbc_font">WRITER:</span> Dragongoddess

POWERS:</strong></span></span><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>(Skill)</em> Attunement to Life: This is not a power but is able to connect on a deeper level with any living creature.&nbsp; In plants, this tends to show itself as a recognition of different types of plants and sometimes an understanding of its life.&nbsp; Animals tend to be drawn to her and Kenz can usually help to adjust the animal's emotions.&nbsp; She can often bring a sense of calm to an animal and is especially helpful in giving an animal peace before its untimely death.&nbsp; Humans are the least connected to Mac's influence; however, they usually feel a sense of mystery about and respect towards her.&nbsp; Mackenzie can sometimes, though not always, help someone feel better.</li><li><em>(Skill)</em> Autism Spectrum Disorder (High-functioning): Due to her ASD, Mackenzie has an above-average IQ and strengths in recognizing patterns and logical thinking.&nbsp; She is detail-oriented, can focus intensely, and is honest to a fault.&nbsp; However, she is also a very independent thinker and has a hard time following unwritten social rules.&nbsp; She may also have difficulty motivating herself or staying focused if she has no interest in what she's supposed to be doing.</li><li><em>(Skill)</em> Courage/Bravery: Mackenzie has never been one to stand back when the little guy needs help.&nbsp; In fact, she's always willing to stand up for a good cause, even if it gets her in trouble.&nbsp; She has few fears and those than she does have, she will always put aside if it is for a cause she deems worthy.</li><li>(Skill) Singing/Guitar: Mackenzie used to be the lead singer and backup guitar player for a hometown rock band.&nbsp; Most of the people in the town believe that her band was about to make it big time when she left.&nbsp; They still have not hit the big times since she left but when Mackenzie has time to herself (or is invited to perform), she's likely to be found practicing or playing.</li><li>(Blessed Power) Magic: Being blessed by Hecate made Mackenzie a powerful priestess.&nbsp; While some of that power simply allows her to perform some magic without the material requirements needed by others who practice magic, this blessing has also gifted Kenz with other uses for magic untouchable by those without the blessing.&nbsp; Some of these extra uses include bestowing special gifts or curses on people or things.&nbsp; On things, the gift or curse will last until someone of skill equal to or greater than that of a blessed of Hecate removes it.&nbsp; However, on people, the gift or curse will only last a certain amount of time equal to that which the source has allowed for.&nbsp; Mackenzie can also create illusions from grand to very small that seem very real.&nbsp; She may also stop or cut off the magic of another user who is not a God or blessed by a God who wields magic.&nbsp; Along with this gift, Hecate gave Mackenzie a set of magical tools including a special knife that boosts the magic output of a living source it is used on.&nbsp; She also gave the young girl a magic ring and a magic necklace meant to store and focus magical energies.&nbsp; While there is a lot of magic that Kenz can perform without limits, most of her special magic and any high-cost spell requires a life force source or sacrifice.&nbsp; Kenz does not need to use her own, however, the type of magic she uses may require a source of a certain amount.&nbsp; (Many rodents may be equal to the same sacrifice as one larger animal)</li><li>(Blessed Power) Power of Three: As does her Goddess, Kenzie lives in multiple worlds at once.&nbsp; Usually, her mind is constantly showing her the many options there are for the future based on the choices being made in the present.&nbsp; It does take extra effort to focus on one set of futures (related to one person) and it takes even more effort based on the number of people around.&nbsp; According to Hecate or Apollo's decisions, Kenz may be forced to see a certain future (or prophecy).&nbsp; When this prophecy comes from Hecate, Kenz alone will know what she saw unless she chooses to reveal it to others; however, when it comes from Apollo, she will be forced to reveal the prophecy while she is in it.&nbsp; Similar to her visions of the future, Mackenzie may be warned of past events that may affect the present or future or may be very similar to what is happening in the present.&nbsp; These special visions do take a lot from her, first taking from her magic jewelry before it begins to drain from her.&nbsp; This is why Kenzie must always keep her jewels fully charged.&nbsp; Aside from visions, Mackenzie may also astral project in up to two projections at one time; however, she will stop seeing the possibilities for the future and astral projection can only take from her own force, the longer and more projections she has at one time, the more it takes from her.&nbsp; Mackenzie's body will not allow her to drain herself dead but when she hits a point that she can't take any more, she could be passed out restoring herself for days on end with almost no sign of life.</li><li><em>(Blessed Power)</em> Master of Deals: If you make a deal with Mackenzie, be sure you don't break it!&nbsp; Those who break deals with Mackenzie have wound up punished with a curse.&nbsp; While Kenzie may choose to pray to her Goddess for forgiveness on behalf of whoever was cursed, the best idea is to keep your deals with this girl or (if you're already cursed) do your best to make up for the broken deal.&nbsp; On the other hand, Mackenzie is also unable to break her end of a deal.&nbsp; While it can be physically painful if she tries to manipulate a deal, breaking a deal will curse her ten times worse than someone else breaking a deal with her.&nbsp; No matter who is cursed, the deal must either be followed through or a sacrifice made to the goddess in order for the curse to have a possibility of being lifted.</li></ul><br><br><span style="font-family: monotype corsiva;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong></span></span> Mackenzie White is a short woman, standing at only 5'4.&nbsp; She has blue hair and is always found wearing the ring, necklace, and knife her Goddess gave her.&nbsp; Her hair always holds some sort of blue color, but how much blue is in her hair does change from time to time.&nbsp; She has green eyes and although she has no scars, Kenzie does do temporary tattoos and is usually sporting at least three at any given time.<br><span style="font-family: monotype corsiva;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong></span></span> Mackenzie is a woman who is always willing to stand up for what she believes in.&nbsp; She does have certain mental disorders that make her different from most others; however, she prefers to embrace that fact.&nbsp; Kenzie has a heart of gold but most seem only to be willing to be friends with her when they need her or want something from her.&nbsp; This is why Kenz will rarely perform magic for another unless they make a deal with her first.&nbsp; Even though Kenzie has few fears and is so constantly willing to stand up for different causes, she doesn't see herself as strong as other people do and often doubts her skills with other people.<br><span style="font-family: monotype corsiva;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong></span></span> Kenzie White didn't have a very unusual childhood.&nbsp; Sure, she lived with different strengths and weaknesses than many other people around her, but other than that, she lived a very normal Upper Middleclass lifestyle.&nbsp; She had two parents that loved her very much and a few friends who she felt she could rely on.&nbsp; She did very well in most of her classes and enjoyed playing with her friends and looking into subjects that interested her.&nbsp; She did have a different connection with animals and the night than a lot of her friends but it had never seemed anything unusual.&nbsp; In middle school, she started a band with some of her friends just for fun.&nbsp; But by the time they reached high school, the band was doing very well.&nbsp; They expected to make it big soon when a few of them found a Ouija board and thought it was a good idea to play with it.&nbsp; This led to Kenzie growing interested in myth, magic, and the occult, though she had many problems trying to find more information at many different times.&nbsp; When Kenzie was 20, she found a spell to contact a God online and, thinking this couldn't be real, reached out to Hecate.&nbsp; When Hecate appeared before Kenzie, she blessed the girl to be one of her chosen and told her of a camp that she should be hearing from soon.&nbsp; She explained that Mackenzie had struck her interest for her fearlessness, especially in the face of the dark and unknown as well as her interest in magic and that her magic would grow greatly now that she was blessed.&nbsp; However, when the Goddess left, Kenz passed out and when she woke up, she thought it was only a very weird dream.&nbsp; It was a week later that she realized that the dream had been a reality when a man showed up at her door asking what she remembered from her visit with Hecate and explaining all this crap about myths, magic, and the Gods being real.&nbsp; He told her that it was unusual for someone so much older than 18 to be chosen but now that she had, she was supposed to go with him to a place called Blessed Falls Village where she would learn more about what had happened and begin her training.&nbsp; That was almost four years ago now and Kenzie still doesn't truly understand any of it, but hey, free room and board, what's not to like?<br><br><br><span style="font-family: monotype corsiva;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>FACE CLAIM:</strong></span></span> Alissa White-Gluz<br><span style="font-family: monotype corsiva;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>WRITER:</strong></span></span> Dragongoddess

Looks mid 20's<br><strong>GENDER:</strong> Female<br><strong>SEXUALITY:</strong> Lesbian, polyamorous if needed but prefers monogamy.<br><strong>BLESSED BY:</strong> Apollo<br><strong>NICKNAMES:</strong> <br><br><br><strong>LIKES:</strong> Books, travel, beautiful women, books, dominant women, books, a quiet life.<br><strong>DISLIKES:</strong> Her age, being immortal, pushy men, sometimes men in general, how fast mortals fade, being single.<br><br><br><strong>SKILLS &amp; POWERS:</strong> <br>+ - Prophecy. Cassandra can see the future. It's sometimes murky and endlessly shifting around, and remarkably less useful than anyone ever thinks, but she can do it.<br><br>Few people tend to believe her, even if and when she sees something useful.<br><br><br>+ - Immortal. Blessed (or more likely cursed) by the God of the Sun himself (Allegedly. It's all mistranslated myths anyway.), every time Cassandra dies, she is revived, healthy and whole, exactly as fresh as the day she received the barbed gift. This sounds good on the surface, but three thousand years is a long time to live. And she has absolutely no guarantee that death will ever find her.<br><br><br>+ Sun's Wrath. Those who harm her tend to have violent, painful, and often humiliating deaths. Maybe not right away, and certainly not by Cassandra's hand, but it typically happens before too long.<br><br>And if she is killed, part of her rejuvenation process requires a being of immense power and legend recreating her life force. Since that involves the Sun himself manifesting on the planet, there is frequently a sudden rash of crispy flash fried corpses of her enemies in the area.<br><br>But death hurts, and it's just easier to avoid making enemies in general, if only to skip the awkwardness of waking up naked in a pile of ashes and unidentifiable charred things...<br><br>+ Cassandra's tears. Almost as many myths and rumors about her tears exist as about the woman herself. They are reputed to have all sorts of properties, ranging from the factual to the absolutely absurd.<br><br>They are claimed to be healing, (true, somewhat.) To give people who ingest them limited foresight or telepathy, (possibly, occasionally true, for all the good it gives people...) To cause flight or night vision (What? Not at all.) Or even to let vampires walk in the sun. (.....shrug?)<br><br>It has of course been a very very long time since she's shed a single tear.<br><br><br>- Unbelievable. It's extremely rare that anyone takes her seriously. Whether it's just a subtle people hearing what they want to hear and nothing more, or people outright ignoring her warnings, Cassandra has long since become used to being an ignored voice in the wilderness<br><br><br>- Only human. She has no special powers or abilities on her own. She's just as fragile as any other human, and in fact somewhat weaker and slower than the average modern human.<br><br>+Linguistics. She's fluent in a remarkable number of languages, mostly because she watched them evolve. <br><br><br><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong> Blonde, short and slender, at only five feet tall and a few pounds over 100. No tattoos, and just the basic earlobe piercings. Heterochromia, blue and green. Looks roughly 25ish years old.<br><br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Personality: Weary. Cassandra has been all over the world, seen most of what humanity has to offer, and was impressed by very little of it. Not much has changed in her 3,000 years of life span. The world spins on, and she gets ever so slightly more cynical and dispirited every century.<br><br>She is reasonably intelligent and wise, and likes to give out good advice, despite the fact that it never ends well.<br><br>A dark joke is funnier than a socially acceptable one. After all, aren't we all dark jokes to the gods?<br><br><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> Cassandra was born sometime around 1100 BC. There are various mythological accountings of her life in that era, but three facts are indisputable.<br><br>She was at the Trojan War, and none of her various deaths seem to last, somehow. She claims to be married to the actual, literal Apollo. She wandered the world for centuries, trying to find answers to her various conditions. She didn't find any.<br><br>Something called her to Blessed Falls, and she considers one place pretty much as good as another. At least in a village of God touched children, she wouldn't be the oddest thing around. And most places she tried to settle in tended to end up not going well... Maybe hanging out with the aspects of the Gods she had been avoiding for so long would have a better result. <br><br><br><br><strong>FACE CLAIM:</strong> Doukissa Nomikou<br><strong>WRITER:</strong> Elizabeth Ecsed

Given her patron she's not really that interested in matters of the flesh. <br><strong>BLESSED BY:</strong> Artemis<br><strong>NICKNAMES:</strong> None. She’s not the type to accept such a thing. <br><br><br><strong>LIKES:</strong> Her own company, the great outdoors, drinking wine in the country that the grape was grown in, her companions, sunshine, swimming in open water.<br><strong>DISLIKES:</strong> Cities and city dwellers, self indulgent consumer culture, Ares and his followers, cold weather, strong liquor, heavy metal music. <br><br><br><strong>SKILLS &amp; POWERS:</strong> <br><br>Apex predator. Predatory animals recognize one of their own and ignore Phoebe. Prey animals are less likely to notice or react to her. <br>&nbsp;<br>Huntress. Phoebe is highly skilled in the art of tracking and hunting. She has learnt to move swiftly and silently through woodland and rough terrain and is skilled at trailing and stalking her prey. These skills do transfer to other environments, but she is less adept than in the woods and fields that are her natural home. Naturally given her patron she is an expert in the use of the bow and arrow and hunting knives.<br><br>Light step. Phoebe can choose to make her movements absolutely silent and slow enough not to reflexively draw the eye to her. The side effect is pretty obvious. She isn’t moving very fast when she does this. <br><br>Companions. Phoebe has been gifted a pair of hunting dogs and a buzzard by her patron. They will obey her every command. What they know, she knows. They are utterly loyal to their mistress. She has to focus to see through their eyes and whilst she does so is distracted and more vulnerable.<br>&nbsp;<br><br><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong> Phoebe is tall for a woman at six feet in height. She has acquired quite a selection of tattoos, all aimed at carrying the favour of her patron. She has a stag tattoo on her left shoulder, Asphodel and Amaranth flowers on her right bicep and neck, an arrow on the back of her right hand and a bow on her left. Phoebe has long jet black hair that has been faded to a warm chocolate brown by the sun near the tips. It is either left unkempt, or plaited neatly, there is no inbetween. She is always casually, but practically dressed in dull coloured clothing, normally greys, greens and browns that help her blend into the woods. She often wears a green hooded hunting coat which she has daubed with words and phrases that are sacred to her patron. She carries her arrows in a quiver slung across her back. Her eyes are grey and calm, but it’s hard to read what is going on in the depths of them. She never wears anything as frivolous as make up and perfume would make her easier for her prey to scent, so she doesn’t wear that either..The overall impression of her is that she could be really quite pretty if she smartened herself up a bit, but she clearly isn’t interested in doing so. <br><br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Phoebe is generally pretty quiet, calm and non confrontational, but that does not mean she is a shrinking violet by any means. She is more of an iron fist in a velvet glove than most people realize. She just chooses not to show this side of herself unless she has to. She is generally kind and helpful, but she’s also clearly not overly fond of being around large groups of people and is more comfortable in her own company. She is fiercely intelligent, but has not been formally educated to a high level and is uncomfortable about this. She has a violent and aggressive streak should she lose her temper, but generally has a pretty tight grip on it.Play nice and she will play nice back. Play nasty and you’ll reap what you sow. <br><br><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> Phoebe’s parents were frequently out of work, so she moved around a lot and never had a proper childhood. As a result trouble found her early: fistfights in school, late-night graffiti, petty theft, and even setting a few fires. Fortunately for Phoebe it was at this point that she met&nbsp; Kassandra, an elder of Artemis who she immediately identified with and who took the troubled young woman under her wing. Kassandra helped Phoebe straighten her life out, but at the cost of her withdrawing from formal education to do so.&nbsp; For the first time ever though Phoebe finally had a positive role model and a sense of stability in her life though and in many ways she flourished. It was shortly after her nineteenth birthday that her blessing started to show and it was on her twenty first birthday that her companions arrived as gifts from the goddess herself. Sadly it was about this time that she also had a run in with a hotheaded, loud mouthed follower of Ares who didn’t understand the meaning of the word no. She did manage to get away before anything really bad happened to her. The guy needed a bunch of stitches, but he asked for it. Unfortunately the experience has unsurprisingly left a bad taste in her mouth about Ares and his followers in general. To help her move on from her experience and to continue to develop as a chosen of Artemis she moved to the village when the invitation was sent to her, even if it took quite a lot of convincing by Kassandra to get Phoebe to accept it. Phoebe may or may not be her actual name, but it is the one that she answers to. <br><br><br><strong>FACE CLAIM:</strong> Jess Black<br><strong>WRITER:</strong> Skyre

POWERS:</strong></span><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>{Skill}</em> Life of the Party: Stevie has such a loudness about her that no matter what she's feeling, it's going to affect those around her in a pretty big way.&nbsp; This is not a power, only a skill and she cannot control how it affects those around her; however, if she's having fun, the likelihood is, everyone else is too.&nbsp; If she's angry or determined, people know and are influenced by this.&nbsp; This goes for all other emotions she's feeling too.</li><li><em>{Skill}</em> Gambling: Although most don't recognize Stevie for having much intelligence, she does have a great deal of intelligence hidden behind that pretty face of hers.&nbsp; One of her best skills is gambling.&nbsp; Within a matter of moments, Stephanie can take the information she has and calculate the most likely outcome.&nbsp; She usually will not make a bet unless she's damn sure she can win it.&nbsp; However, there are times that she will make a bad bet, if only to keep people from recognizing how smart she actually is.</li><li><em>{Skill}</em> Pranks: Stevie hates when things get boring and has found that pranks always have a way of livening up the party.&nbsp; Someone is always the target of the prank and the target always gets upset.&nbsp; Although she pulls most of the pranks in the camp, Steph makes sure no one will ever know it was her...unless she tells them.&nbsp; (Little Weasley brat!)</li><li><em>{Skill}</em> Business Ventures: Usually Stevie's business ventures don't last long but if she's willing to invest her time or money in a venture, she's smart enough to make some money off of it.</li><li><em>{Blessed Power}</em> Pathokinesis: By focusing on a person within her view, Stephanie can sense what they are feeling.&nbsp; If she touches them, even barely, with the intention to do so, she can control how a person is feeling.&nbsp; She can also do this by whispering phrases and focusing on the person whose emotions she wants to change; however, the further they are and the more people there are around, the more likely it is for a mistake to be made.&nbsp; Some of these mistakes may include the power not working at all or people other than her intended target being infected with the emotion she meant to change her target to.&nbsp; While Stephanie has little issues when she's only using her power on one person at a time, she is able to use it on a group; however, the more people she tries to use her pathokinesis on, the more it will drain her.&nbsp; Some of her most common uses of this power around camp have been ecstasy, pleasure, pain, madness, and insanity, though, she is able to affect any emotion.</li><li><em>{Blessed Power}</em> Victuals Manipulation: Stevie can conjure any food or drink she can think of, including alcohol, water, fruits, and desserts which tend to be her most common.&nbsp; She can also transmute any food or drink.&nbsp; Stephanie has no trouble using her victuals manipulation for herself and can provide for as many as ten people before she starts having any drawbacks.&nbsp; If she is providing from more than ten, it begins to drain her, and if she provides for a whole party, she'll pass out the moment she sits down.</li><li><em>{Blessed Power}</em> Shapeshifting: This one is pretty simple.&nbsp; Stephanie can shapeshift at will; however, she has never revealed to anyone what she can shift into or what her limits are.&nbsp; While she is in a shifted form, Stevie can not use either of her other powers.</li></ul><br><span style="font-family: curlz mt;" class="bbc_font"><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong></span> Stephanie Weasley is a tall woman with bright red hair and pale skin who is rarely absent of a smile, smirk, or grin.&nbsp; She has an hourglass figure with bigger curves on a smaller stomach.&nbsp; Her lips, like her fathers, are pretty much stained red.&nbsp; Stevie doesn't mess with her body but she can sometimes be found sporting temporary or fake piercings, tattoos, or other forms of body art.<br><span style="font-family: curlz mt;" class="bbc_font"><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong></span> Stevie is a fun girl who doesn't care much about the consequences and is always looking for that next thing to make her feel good.&nbsp; From indulging to flirting, especially with someone else's partners, to partying and pranking, Stevie is always thinking about the next good thing.&nbsp; She is very flighty and hard to pin down.&nbsp; Though she is actually pretty smart, most people underestimate the redheaded vixen either due to her looks or her behavior.&nbsp; They usually don't learn that they were wrong but Stevie likes it better that way.&nbsp; It is something she finds as a strength.&nbsp; While Stevie is probably considered the camp slut due to her habit of flirting with all of the guys at camp and even some of the women and her willingness to admit that she likes sex, she has never had a very easy time in love.&nbsp; Steph doesn't like to get bored or let things get her down and she will do what it takes to make sure this doesn't happen, even at the expense of others.<br><span style="font-family: curlz mt;" class="bbc_font"><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong></span> Stephanie Weasley was the daughter of a one-night stand between a struggling artist who never learned when enough was enough and the God of Parties himself.&nbsp;

Stephanie always thought it was a good thing she never had any siblings because she never wanted anyone else to go through what she was going through.&nbsp; In middle school, she hit her lowest point and it was shortly after that that she learned her mother had been hiding letters from the camp that had been coming in for years.&nbsp; It was then that she vowed to make her life about her and not about anyone else and became the woman the camp knows.&nbsp; Aside from missions, Stevie has never left the camp since she arrived at such a young age.<br><br><br><span style="font-family: curlz mt;" class="bbc_font"><strong>FACE CLAIM:</strong></span> Sabrina Lynn<br><span style="font-family: curlz mt;" class="bbc_font"><strong>WRITER:</strong></span> Dragongoddess

She feel animals are easy to get along with and don’t treat her like a freak of nature. She regrets she has to eat some of them for substance but that she can live with. She likes fight practices because it’s an opportunity to hone in on her skills and controlling them. Running destresses her along with music and the sound of rain. Due to her high metabolism, she has learned to be quite good at cooking thanks to her mother and the cooking channel.

It is unknown just how strong Vonna is. She hasn’t truly tested herself but she hasn’t come across anything she couldn’t lift alone. <br>Supernatural Speed. Vonna is unnaturally fast. This is the power she enjoys the most. She enjoys doing mundane tasks at super speed to get them over with. She’s been known to clean her room and other household chores at super speed.

That doesn’t mean she’s going to say anything about anything though. She’s an introvert at heart but work toward being more outgoing and making friends. She’s kind hearted and desires to save people that can’t save themselves. She’s also a romantic at heart but rarely has anyone to romance. She busies herself with honing her skills and learning. She does have trust issues due to how she was treated in school.<br><br><strong>Background:</strong> Vonna was moved to a private school at a young age because she seemed to have difficulties handling other students and the class properties. Her parents were constantly repaying the school for broken things and sending checks home to parents whose property was damaged by little <br>Vonna. Of course, she never meant to hurt anyone nor their property but she couldn’t help it. Before her parents knew what was happening, Vonna Winslow had been blessed by the Goddess Persephone with Supernatural strength, speed and body. Through homeschooling, trial and error and praying to the Olympian Goddess, her mother managed to teach her daughter how to be gentle with humans and objects in their world and to control her strength up to a point. <br>Vonna often felt like a freak and that she wasn’t in control of her own body. When she received the letter from the house of Persephone, she was over the moon with happiness. She would be sure to learn all she needed to know about herself and how to master her abilities. Her parents were relieved as well. As of today, she has a pretty good grip on herself.<br><br><strong>Face Claim</strong>: Evan Rachel Wood<br><br><strong>Writer:</strong> Crony<br>

Still answers to Detective or Lieutenant.<br><br><br><strong>LIKES:</strong> Guns and gun ranges, law enforcement and true crime shows, good whiskey, smoking, women, kids, gaming<br><strong>DISLIKES:</strong> Idiots, shitty drivers, people who think the law is against them, rapists, abusers, playboys, Christmas<br><br><br><strong>SKILLS &amp; POWERS:</strong> Shooting: Solomon has received marksman's awards from the police force for years.<br><br>Law knowledge: Having been in the force for years, Solomon has developed an extensive knowledge of legalities and how cause mistrials.<br><br>Cooking: Solomon is a fairly skilled domestic chef, though he has a penchant for meats over veggies.<br><br><br>Traumatic Reawakening: Solomon is able to reverse the flow of time to reopen old wounds, bring about old pains, and even damage or destroy buildings. The longer he has to go back in time, the more he has to concentrate, but his power can easily affect crowds of 20 or more should the need arise.<br><br>Ideology of the Prophets: By winding back time in a complex manner, Solomon can create a holographic imagery of what happened in a given area. Things that affect the strain of this power are the clarity of the replay, the relative distance of the history, and the size of the area.<br><br>Feedback Looping: Solomon can use time manipulation to create feedback loops, allowing for time to flow in a repetitive pattern as he desires, or to reverse a small space of time to acquire a more desired outcome. This ability is limited entirely by what is possible for Solomon to perceive and react to, but doesn't necessarily require him to see or understand the given force. This power can also be applied to Solomon's own death, and will active automatically so long as he could reasonably react to it. For example, Solomon could change the outcome of a car hitting him if he was aware of the vehicle, but wouldn't survive someone silently stabbing him in the back or shooting him from a considerable distance (i.e. an assassination). Solomon can hold his feedback loops endlessly, but they are a considerable drain on him when left active.<br><br><br><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong> Solomon stands at 6'3", 230 pounds, and is probably the last man you want to bump into at the gym. He works out fairly regularly and is quite toned, sporting a defined six-pack. He maintains a beard that is well cared for, and wears glasses to account for a little far-sightedness from reading over reports for a decade. His usual dress is business casual, but sweatpants and no shirt are a welcome part of his wardrobe.<br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Very straightforward, bluntly honest person. Even in his worst rages, he avoids property damage and law breaking. Usually a calm and level-headed individual, even when people push his buttons.<br><br><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> Solomon is a young man who went through life living the straight and narrow. Born the third son and fourth child among six siblings, he was left to care for himself in late elementary school and grew up helping to care for the younger siblings to follow him. His two older brothers joined the military at 18, becoming a Navy SEAL and Spec Ops Marine respectively, and his older sister followed their mother's footsteps of being a model. Solomon, however, went to college first, acquiring a Master's degree in Investigative Law Enforcement before joining the police force alongside his father. Under his father's wing, Solomon survived his rookie year and was transferred to detective duties, focusing on homicides and acts of violence. <br><br>Before long, Solomon started seeing hazy visions of the heinous acts he was investigating, and as he continued his tenure, he became more and more aware of the actions, and even the faces portrayed in the crimes. When he actively started using his power of his own volition, Solomon was solving crimes where the trail had long gone cold, and stopping serial killers within the first few bodies that turned up.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">TRIGGER WARNING</div><div class="spoiler_body">Solomon's life spiraled out of control however, on Christmas Eve, seven years prior. His fiancee and their two year old daughter made the news that night, found raped and brutally murdered in Solomon's apartment while he was on shift. When he came home, the door had been forced open, the loves of his life cold and rigid, their anguished faces burning into his mind with every moment he was forced to stare at them. The man that had raped them had been careful, leaving next to no evidence at the crime scene, but Solomon's powers lead him straight to the perpetrator. When Solomon found the man, he called for backup to make the events official, staying with the lines of the law as he made the worst arrest of his career.</div></div><br>To this day, Solomon still continues to serve as a detective, using his abilities to put rapists and murderers behind bars for life, and has donated a fair portion of his earnings to a relief fund for victims of rape and abuse. He has yet, however, to even visit Blessed Falls Village, and has remained ignorant of its existence.<br><br><br><strong>FACE CLAIM:</strong> Nick Bateman<br><strong>WRITER:</strong> Cressray

Green </span><br><br><br><strong>AGE:</strong> Twenty-Seven<br><strong>GENDER:</strong> Male<br><strong>SEXUALITY:</strong> Heterosexual<br><strong>BLESSED BY:</strong> Poseidon<br><strong>ROLE:</strong> Elder<br><strong>JOBS &amp; RESPONSIBILITIES:</strong> Teaches Natural Sciences both on and off Village Grounds<br><strong>NICKNAMES:</strong> Ollie by the select few he allows. <br><br><br><strong>LIKES:</strong> Swamps, Creeks, Streams, Rivers, Lakes, Mountains, Amphibians, Fish, Reptiles, Water-related animals, Science (Biology, Zoology, Conservation), Teaching, Leading.<br><strong>DISLIKES:</strong> Ocean/Sea, Swimming, Big Cities, Arrogance, The Rich, selfishness <br><br><br><strong>SKILLS &amp; POWERS:</strong> <br><br><strong>Skill</strong> - <em>Scientist</em>&nbsp; -- Oliver is a scientist, primarily a biologist, and has a great understanding of how the natural sciences work. He excels in Astacology (Study of Crayfish) and Herpetology (Primarily focused on Amphibians), with an almost photographic memory on the subjects.<br><br><strong>Skill</strong> - <em>Charismatic</em> -- He has a way with words and can use them to his benefit, which is generally for the good of more than just himself. <br><br><strong>Skill</strong> - <em>Teacher</em> -- Oliver is a natural-born teacher. He loves to share his knowledge with people and tends to make things easy for the individual he is working with to understand.<br><br><strong>Skill</strong> - <em>Athletic</em> -- Good with standard physical activities (Running, etc.), well-built.<br><br><strong>Blessed Power</strong> - <em>Way of Water</em> -- Oliver has the ability to manipulate water. This requires a source of water, as he cannot just create it from thin air. He can pull it, shape it, and command it at his will, make it move as he wishes, and float in the air around him.<br><br><strong>Blessed Power</strong> - <em>Stages of Water</em> -- Water is not just liquid, so Oliver can turn it into any of the three forms - Liquid, ice, and steam - as he wishes. If the air around him is humid, he can pull the water from the air to turn it into a congregated liquid. There are limits- the ice does not stay frozen indefinitely, as it will melt over time. He cannot create water, so if there is only a cup's worth of steam, then he can only work with a cup's worth of water. <br><br><strong>Blessed Power</strong> - <em>Cleansing</em> -- Oliver has learned how to cleanse water from pollutants. If his hands are submerged in a water source, he can remove any dangerous pollutants within a wide radius of his position.<br><br><strong>Blessed Power</strong> - <em>Way of Earth</em> -- Poseidon is also the God of Earthquakes. In a similar way to <em>Way of Water</em>, Oliver can manipulate the earth around him. He can create walls, move chunks of it, cause it to rise or fall out of the ground. This only work for earth, and does not apply to any kind of natural metals or ores. <br><br><strong>Blessed Power</strong> - <em>Water Heals</em> -- As long as there is enough water to cover the wound, Oliver is capable of healing physical wounds. It cannot heal all, such as if it is too deep, too life-threatening, etc., but it can heal many or at least bring an individual to a stable condition.<br><br><strong>Weaknesses</strong>: Can't swim. Afraid of boats. Cannot fight hand-to-hand.<br><br><br><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong> Oliver is a 6 foot even man of American heritage, with brown hair, brown eyes, and sometimes a hint of a brown beard, which he often does not get to shaving. Generally, he will either be dressed formally in dress pants and a dress shirt, potentially with a tie or bow tie, or dressed oppositely, with waders and ratty t-shirts used to go dig through the muck of the creek. <br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> A pretty chill guy, it takes a lot to anger or annoy him, though he doesn't often take shit. To deal with issues, he always remains calm, no matter what he feels on the inside. He doesn't often share feelings with anyone but the select few who are close to him. Ollie is also a quiet guy who prefers to not share his thoughts and views if it may cause a problem or if it disagrees with another. <br><br><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> All his life, Oliver had grown up within a rich family. His father owned a Coal Mining Company that brought in a large amount of income, and his mother was a writer, though she wrote not for money, but because she genuinely enjoyed it. He had always attended private schools, getting the best education possible that money could buy. His family would take two yearly trips to an exotic beach in South America, but Oliver hated these trips. He hated the ocean, ever since he was old enough to understand hate. Terrible things would always happen when they went on these trips to the poor boy. He'd get stung by Jellyfish, cut his feet up on rocks underwater, get lost from his parents, all things that would eventually deter him from the water. As much as he hated the large bodies of water, he loved the small ones. His family owned a large plot of land, in which creeks ran through. Ollie would spend his evenings out by the creek edge looking for crayfish, frogs, and salamanders. His father thought this was dirty and frowned upon it, but his mother encouraged it, as it made her son happy. <br><br>His father had plans for him to attend one of America's top universities to become a rich doctor. Seeing as Oliver enjoyed science, he thought his son would love this. However, the boy had different ideas- he wanted to do something with conservation, to save the underappreciated animals that he loved so much. People were always so willing to donate or put effort into saving large, cute species, like bears, tigers, sea turtles, but about the small species of creeks and streams and rivers? Little was being done to save salamanders and toads, and Oliver wanted to put a stop to that. His father said he wouldn't pay for college if he weren't to be a doctor, so, as high school drew to a close, he gave up on his dreams and accepted his father's wishes.<br><br>Everything would change that summer, however, when his family took their yearly trip to the beach. His mother and father were on a boat, taking a tour, when the engine suddenly exploded on the ship and it sunk. He'd never see his parents again, and his hatred for the ocean only grew stronger, as it had turned his life upside down. <br><br>Now that his father was gone, the Coal Mining companies were left to Oliver. When he found the way his father had been managing these facilities, he was shocked and disgusted. The workers were not treated well and expected to work in dangerous settings, and the pollution was immense. He went to work immediately, changing policies, making the mines safer, and lowering the pollution produced. Just weeks later, he would receive a letter in the mail about being a "Blessed" chosen by Poseidon. Finding it probably a cruel joke, he completely disregarded the letter. Without his father to tell him no, Oliver also applied to a somewhat small university, and graduated with an EEOB (Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology) Degree. <br><br>After graduating, he would return to the same college to begin teaching, all the while spending his free time out in the field, working to conserve the species he loves. Almost all the money he received from the Coal mines went into supporting conservation, buying land to preserve, and funding research. <br><br>During a mission by himself out to look for a Hellbender, a rare, giant salamander only native to specific regions in Appalachia, he was attacked by an aggressive black bear. Not knowing what he was doing at the time, he panicked, and managed to send a wave of water from the creek into the bear, scaring it off. At this point, he realized that all the time he spent as a kid playing with the waves of the creek were not natural - he was the one that was making the waves and that he was capable of much more than a normal human. Remembering the letter he received some while ago about being a blessed, he would go home and immediately begin to research, trying to find information and make contact with the village mentioned. <br><br>As soon as he got to the village, he began to master his talents, and over time, grew to earn the title of Elder. Now, he works to teach the younger Blessed how to use their powers, as well as teach classes both here and at the nearby college, all the while still continuing his conservation work.<br><br><br><strong>FACE CLAIM:</strong> Casey Taylor<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header"> More Images</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/2797032472/d166ba3fc1a8a1f8d234b729ecfc2d2f_400x400.png) (https://ilarge.lisimg.com/image/3872795/751full-casey-taylor.jpg) (https://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Odu7eqW6gAY/TEWINTU7dKI/AAAAAAAAgew/_tmUrPvDk6c/s1600/Casey+Taylor+for+Report+Collection+19.jpg)</div></div>

In order to activate his power, Emil simply needs to be in physical contact with the blood, usually requiring him to use his own blood. After the initial addition of a volume of blood within his influence, Emil can manipulate it from up to 20 feet. Through the clever use of this hemokinesis, Emil can produce several effects.<br><br>--- Physical Amplification - The most simple method of manipulating his blood. By accelerating the flow of the blood in his veins, Emil can hyperstimulate certain parts of his body with adrenaline, allowing for superhuman feats of strength and speed. The maximum limit of Emil's amplification is what his body can withstand, but the damage can be mitigated to a fair degree via his other skills. This ability also enables Emil to stimulate his blood to enhance his natural healing.<br><br>--- Hardening - Emil can cause his blood to transfer between solid and liquid at will, allowing for him to create various weapons out of his own body, or coat himself in a protective layer for defense. These weapons and shields have a hardness roughly equal to steel due to a combination of carbon and iron in the blood stream. Should Emil create ranged weapons such as arrows or javelins, the blood maintains its hardness until Emil returns it to its liquid form.<br><br>--- Electrokinesis - By manipulating the conductivity of his blood and using it to generate static electricity, Emil can maintain a fair degree of control over electricity. Through this electrokinesis, Emil can cause his blood to combust with limited damage, and at a much greater cost he can generate plasma. Since the fire and plasma is generated using his blood as the catalyst, it completely obliterates whatever volume is consumed in the process. Emil can also use this electricity and fire to imbue his created weapons with the given element.<br><br>Weakness - Emil is anemic, requiring him to watch his diet and take supplements to maintain the use of his ability.<br><br><br><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong> Emil stands at 6 feet even and 187 pounds, sporting thick black hair that ends at his waist. He usually maintains a short beard and mustache over the majority of his face. His usual clothes consist of a button-up shirt paired with jeans and a belt, but he is known to be much more casual when lounging around, preferring sweats and a sweatshirt in the comfort of his home.<br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Emil is almost supernaturally calm and extremely personable, a combination that has guided him through nearly any situation life has thrown at him. Unfortunately he is also painfully blunt regardless of how much his words stand to hurt others, but his honesty could be considered charming in a certain light.<br><br><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> Born in a small slum town to second generation Japanese immigrants, Emil was raised with very little in the way of toys and games, and even getting food on the table was a fight some days. His mother was a once famous singer who suffered from throat cancer that claimed her ability to sing publicly, but this didn't stop her from teaching Emil her craft at a young age.<br><br>When Emil was in high school, he participated in an exchange program to where his grandparents had moved from and was scouted by a Japanese talent agency for his singing abilities. Since being picked up by a Visual Kei group under the stage name Jin Seihouin, Emil expanded his skills to include voice acting and landed several prominent roles early in his career to boost his popularity through the roof in both medias.<br><br>After fighting repeated bouts of anemia during work events, Emil was visited with the voice of Hephaestus, who told him that his weak blood would become his strongest weapon and left him with direction to Blessed Falls. In the years that have passed, Emil has rescued his parents from debt and poverty, allowing them to retire and enjoy their elderly years in peace, and has heavily invested into several schools for prospective voice actors.<br><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Media releases</div><div class="spoiler_body">As a Voice Actor<br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTMxt7vPrC4<br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFA4AI7KZvQ<br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvywlvAaGWA<br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9FuCOcKpgk<br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=371LHaWCh3c<br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlJrA5fW2L8&amp;t=32s<br><br>As a Vocalist<br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aW_6K24vWlU<br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0GR4Q_A8wI<br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZz4WUThsu8<br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXsCQ0rGK_g<br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nfHgpHMKgA<br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CuAflw7yKA<br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L64yDz6ktVw<br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uGY5n0CJOo<br></div></div><br><strong>FACE CLAIM:</strong> Tony Thornburg<br><strong>WRITER:</strong> Cressray

She specializes in Gothic and Victorian Attire.<br><br><em>SKILL:</em> Intelligence, Evangeline may be quite but she is quite intelligent on general matters. She has an above average IQ.<br><br><br><em>BLESSED POWER:</em> Shadow Manipulation - Evangeline can control the shadows around her, she can use this to shroud herself or a target in darkness. She can also use this to teleport herself and up to two others, using the shadows as portals. She can only teleport herself a few times before exhausted or a small group once. After that she has a three hour recovery time before she can attempt again. Lastly, she can use her shadow manipulation to perform Marionette. This allows her to control her target with their shadow. She can only control one person at a time and can use it to essentially freeze them in place. To do this, she has to be able to get her shadows to that of the target. She can not use Marionette if it is too bright, or the target as not touching its shadow. <br><br><em>BLESSED POWER:</em> Dolls Curse - If Eva can get a hold of her targets hair, she can create a voodoo doll. With the doll, she can inflict pain or even use power of suggestion to get the target to do what she wants. She has to have the targets hair and their name for it to work. The only way to destroy the doll is by removing the hair and burning it. <br><br><em>BLESSED POWER:</em> Dream Weaving - Eva can dream weave which has two distinct abilities. The first is that she can enter a persons dreams while sleeping. She often does this to help diagnose dreams but also can alter the dreams as well. Secondly, she can cast a nightmare state onto enemies. This will create very vivid images and nightmare-like imagery around the target making it hard to tell what is real and what is not. She must maintain eye contact to cast the nightmare, if she blinks, it will begin to fade.<br><br><br><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong> Evangeline is 5'7" and is thin and statuesque. She has subtle curves but the hourglass figure is there. Her fiery red hair and bright green eyes are a stark contrast to her porcelain skin.<br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Evangeline is quiet and reserved, people often mistake this for her being mean. She is quite friendly to those that do talk to her, she just doesn't make any outward attempts to draw attention to herself. She is very intelligent and loves having an intellectual conversation, especially if its about books. She has a hard time opening up to people but is friendly on the outer layers. She only lets people know the most basic information about her and keeps her past mostly to herself. <br><br><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> From a young age, Evangeline had a passion for the arts and learned to sing immediately. Her parents were wealthy and paid for her to be taught by some of the best instructors. Her schooling was the best in the area and she had every thing handed to her very early on. Veronica soaked in every opportunity her perfect life offered her and as she aged, she got into singing opera. She began to professionally perform at the age of sixteen and traveled extensively. <br><br>Singing wasn't her only passion though. Evangeline came across a book of the occult as a young age and found everything very fascinating. Her handler helped sneak her more books on everything to do with the occult, rituals, and even some on voodoo. As she got into her teen years, she had a vivid dream as the Goddess Hecate appeared to her, telling her that she would be another on of her chosen, another daughter of night. She kept this from her parents and continued to live life as normal as possible.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">TRIGGER Rape, Violence</div><div class="spoiler_body">While on tour she got quite close to her manager, a middle aged man her family entrusted to take care of Evangeline while they were traveling. He would always tell her how special she was and that he had never heard anyone with a voice as good as hers. One night after another stand-out performance, he invited her to his room to celebrate. He offered her a drink that she, only being seventeen at the time, kindly refused. As she tried to leave, he became more persistent. She tried to excuse herself and leave and he through her to the ground. That was the night he took everything from her. In a fit of rage the shadows of the room closed in on them and he went flying back, a steel coat rack piercing his chest, killing him instantly.</div></div><br><br>Evangeline screamed and when people entered the room and saw the manager, pants down and skewered, they all looked to Veronica. She tried to tell them how he attacked her and she didn't know how he flew back, he just did. They began to call her a witch and she had no choice but to leave. When she tried to tell her parents, they soon disowned her as well, not wanting a cursed child to bring down their name. Veronica lived on her own from that point forward.<br><br>When she got the letter for Blessed Falls, she figured that maybe it would be nice to be around like-people. Someone could help her understand. She has now been at the camp for two years and is still quite reserved. That night still haunts her but she now has a better understanding of her powers and how to control them. She is thankful her powers manifested when they did and has no regrets for the death of her manager after he deflowered her. She only wish she had seen the signs sooner, she is now a lot more careful with who she lets close to her.<br><br><br><strong>FACE CLAIM:</strong> Susan Coffey<br><strong>WRITER:</strong> AliceInLace

It is more difficult to catch him by surprise.<br>Skill: <strong>Intoxication Resistant:</strong> While his body can become intoxicated, Alter can choose whether or not a substance will affect him in one way or another. For example, he can get drunk and feel the happy, good feelings, but ignore the unhappy side effects. He can, at will, dispell the effects of intoxication at any time if he so chooses.<br>Skill: <strong>Sleep Standing Up:</strong> Alter has trained his body to be able to rest in any position. When he astral projects (see below), Alter's body will maintain the position it was left in, unless someone physically moves it.<br><br>Power: <strong>Astral Projection:</strong> By focusing his intention, Alter can force his spirit to leave his physical form. While projecting, Alter can freely fly, pass through objects like walls, is invisible to those that cannot see magically, and affect people with his Blessed powers. During this time, his physical body become rigid and un-moving, and he cannot sense his body's . When Alter goes to sleep, his astral projection can wander freely while his body gets rest, so he can be "awake" at all hours of the day. His astral projection cannot interact with physical objects or organic matter through touch, smell, or taste. Those that can see his spirit, if possible, notice that his spirit from sprouts horns from the top of his head that curl to the back. Whenever Alter is ready to go back to his body, he can immediately snap back and re-inhabit it.<br>Power: <strong>Incite Madness:</strong> By extending his spirit into the minds of others, Alter can bend the brains of those around him to his will. This can take many forms, including intoxicating the target(s) with drunkenness, hallucinogenic effects, depressants, stimulants (with the choice of if they will feel aftereffects), affecting their senses of touch, taste, smell, hearing, and sight, granting visions, dreams, and thoughts, and changing one's mental or behavioral patterns. Any effects that Alter places in a person last until a full night's rest, or until they are resisted by the target. It is much easier for Alter to affect those that give their consent to be targeted, and has to struggle to affect those that don't. However, if a person is already intoxicated or experiencing symptoms of insanity, Alter can more easily affect their mind. Multiple people can be targeted at a time, but increasing the number of people and the resistance to the effect makes it much more difficult. Alter can use this power without astral projecting, but it is much more powerful if he does. <br>Power: <strong>Possession:</strong> While astral projecting, Alter can force his spirit into the body of another person, temporarily diminishing their soul. Alter can then use that person's body as their own, and in the case of Blessed, he gains their abilities while occupying their body. It is much easier for Alter to affect those that give their consent to be targeted, and has to struggle to affect those that don't. However, if a person is already intoxicated, experiencing symptoms of insanity, or is sleeping, Alter can more easily enter their body. While possessing a Blessed's body, their consciousness is maintained and can choose to actively resist the effect, communicate with Alter, and maintain their awareness of their body's senses. Alter can only maintain this effect for fifteen minutes, after which his soul is snapped back to his physical body. While using this power, Alter's spirit leaves his body, which becomes rigid and un-moving.<br><br><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong> Alter is a white, Caucasian man that stands at 5'11". He has lean, less defined body composition. Currently, he sports medium length brown hair that covers a tattoo that wraps around his skull of a laurel wreath. The most prominent tattoo he has is one on his forehead which reads: "war inside my head". He has a number of tattoos from the neck down in varying art styles, traditions, and colors.<br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Most people would call Alter an odd duck. He is often found wandering, lost in thought and talking to himself. Often, he will talk to himself with others around, not realizing that they can hear everything that he is saying. Habit dictates that he stays in the back of groups, watching and listening instead of engaging with them. It is much more natural for him to have his head stuck in a book rather than being with people. When he does try to talk with others, it can come off as clumsy, at the very least. However, underneath the outside appearances, Alter tries his best to be a sweet, caring person.<br><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> Tell us a bit about your character, how they became blessed? How do they feel about it, how do they feel about living in the village.<br>Alter was involved in a hit and run when he was 12 years old, leaving him in an induced coma. However, during his time, the boy's spirit was not bound to his body, so he wandered out of the hospital and started to explore the world without mortal needs or consequence. He learned many, many different things by simply wandering, watching, and listening. After six years of uninterrupted time to himself, the boy turned 18 and his spirit was snapped back into his body as a vision of a man with horns and a glass in hand looked on. Opening his eyes, Alter's body shot up to the surprise of everyone. Even more surprising, the doctors were astounded to find that the boy had not stayed at the same developmental mental stage that he was when he had gone into the coma, had increased intelligence, and was knowledgeable of current events. He eventually went home with his parents, but found that his time wandering the world had left him unsatisfied with a sedentary life. Setting out on his own, the boy wanted to physically experience the world, missing a very important letter in his family's mailbox... After four years of travel, he was approached by a representative of Blessed Falls Village who had finally managed to track the man down. Wanting answers for the strange events that had happened to the man in his lifetime, Alter decided to go to the village to learn more.<br><br><br><strong>FACE CLAIM:</strong> Bradley Soileau<br><strong>WRITER:</strong> Milern

He only uses them for hunting animals and has never pulled a weapon on a human before.<br><br><strong>Skill</strong> - Excellent Tracker - Once he identifies a target, Kai can easily track them through any terrain. Although not necessary to complete this task, he has an English Setter named Kinglsey that accompanies him on most hunts. <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Kingsley</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/42/df/22/42df220347b9dc42a682ada613f40392.jpg)</div></div> This dog isn’t a true dog, but rather a spirit that he had conjured long ago and remains with him. Kai has fine-tuned his conjuration of Kingsley and the dog does not look ghostly like his other conjurations, but like a true dog.<br><br><strong>Skill</strong> - Natural Explorer - Being one with forests means he can travel through them easily and no terrain is too difficult for him to traverse. Additionally, because he is so close to the forest, he never gets lost and always knows which way to go to get where he has already been.<br><br><strong>Skill</strong> - Silent - Being a natural hunter, Kaiser can walk without making a sound. <br><br><strong>Blessed Power</strong> - Animal Conjuration - The animals he can conjure are the spirits of deceased forest dwellers. These animals appear in a semi-translucent, spiritual form but can touch objects as if they are there. While he cannot <em>talk</em> to animals, real or conjured, he is able to understand them through their body language and they are able to understand him both by his motions and his words, so he can command and control his conjured creatures who respect him and do as he wills. These animals appear in a spectral-like state but can interact with the real world as if they were true animals.<br><br><strong>Blessed Power</strong> - Primal Awareness - Focusing, Kai can use this ability to tell where living creatures are around him, regardless of if they are hiding or not. He has a keen awareness for the area around him and can easily pinpoint the location of any living being.<br><br><strong>Blessed Power</strong> - Night Vision - Being the blessed of the Goddess of the Moon and imitating successful predators, Kaiser can see in the dark. Things he sees are more in a black and white or greyscale than opposed to normal vision but still quite clear. <br><br><strong>Weaknesses</strong> Although he seems like the type of person to always be calm, he can become rather angry at time, just like Artemis had. These periods do not often result in physical violence, but he can say some nasty things that he will regret later. Additionally, he does not like to become emotionally attached to someone because he fears being left behind. If a time arises where he must mortally wound another, Kaiser may find that he does not have the guts to do it.<br><br><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong> Kaiser has white hair that is longer at the tops than the sides. He has dark blue eyes and a freckled face with his ears and bottom lip pierced. He has a tattoo of a stag on his back to represent his Deity. He can commonly be found in jeans, boots, and a t-shirt under a leather jacket that he wears almost all the time.<br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Loyal and stubborn go well together with Kai. He doesn't often allow himself to be close to people, but when he does, he's a great friend. However, he is also mischievous and can sometimes push his boundaries with people and the occasional law. Usually, he likes to listen to music loudly, but when he enters the forest or nature, he turns everything off so he can just enjoy nature for what it is. Despite his rambunctious personality and bad-boy style, Kaiser does not follow into all the stereotypes. He can fight but prefers not to and does not enjoy promiscuity. Artemis was protective of the animals in her forest, and this is shown through Kai's protectiveness of his close friends and if he were to find a partner.<br><br><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> Until about high school, Kaiser lived a pretty average life with his parents as an only child. He wasn’t the greatest at school, but he tried his best. His father was an avid hunter and took his son with him as soon as he was old enough to hold a gun. Not only did his father teach him how to use guns, but he also introduced crossbows and regular bows. The two would hunt frequently, but the animals they hunted were not purely for sport. The animals were eaten by the family and the pelts sold to a business who used them. The bones would later be buried back into the forest to return the animal back to where it came. <br><br>Then, when he was starting high school, there was a shift in Kai’s life. His mother died of an illness quite suddenly and his father started to become detached from his son’s life, preferring to pay more attention to his drinks. They no longer took hunts together and Kai was frequently left alone while his father went on excursions that lasted a few days. He never knew where his dad went when he left, but he found that he didn’t really care, either. He no longer saw his dad as the same man he was year ago, and he eventually had given up trying to help the man.<br><br>Kai began to struggle in school, and he surrounded himself with new friends, friends who did not make the best choices and encouraged him to do the same. They taught him how to skateboard, how to purchase alcohol while underage, the best spots in town to drink and smoke where the police wouldn’t catch them. He became one of the “bad boys” at school, though he didn’t think he quite fit the profile of one because he didn’t enjoy fighting, even though it was something he had done a few times, and he didn’t like the Idea of promiscuity. Kai believed that intercourse between two people was something more special than just a good time and shouldn’t be something one does all willy-nilly. <br><br>After his eighteenth birthday, just a few days after he (barely) graduated high school, he received a letter in the mail about strange village out in the middle of no-where for people like him and that he had been blessed by the Goddess Artemis. Kaiser didn’t know a thing about Greek mythology and, quite frankly, he didn’t much care, so the letter was disregarded. That was, until a few days later, when he came across a picture of himself as a child and his English Setter, Kingsely. He had been thinking about the dog after that, which had died of old age several years ago, when the dog suddenly appeared in front of him, like a creature made of mist, ghostly. He, of course, freaked out and the dog disappeared. It took focus, but he was able to summon the dog again and again, as often as he wanted. <br><br>After a couple more weeks, he had perfected summoning Kingsley and keeping him around, looking like a perfect replica of a true dog. He had also figured out how to summon other animals, primarily deer for now and he had discovered that he was able to see in the dark, which honestly freaked him out as much as seeing his past dog as a ghost the first time. <br><br>Remembering that he had received a letter in the mail about this kind of stuff, he dug around and found where he was supposed to go. Kaiser packed up his stuff and left without even saying good-bye to his dad and had been in the village since, refining his skills.<br><br><br><strong>FACE CLAIM:</strong> Max Kreiger<br><strong>WRITER:</strong> Rainbrows<br><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Additional Kaiser</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.pinimg.com/236x/e3/f3/48/e3f3483781c9d7eb3cf8de68e9ce6332--lip-rings-blonde-hairstyles.jpg)(https://www.thefashionisto.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/maxkjimmyphotos2.jpg)</div></div>

If combat requires it, she can solidify light and shadow into weapons, preferring weapons with reach like polearms.<br><br>Power: Emergence of Static and Motion - Pandora can also manipulate kinetic energy in objects as she desires, slowing them to a halt, forcing objects to move at hypersonic speeds, and causing things to vibrate fast enough to cut through steel. This can be applied to herself as well, giving her brief bursts of superhuman strength or speed, but her body can’t withstand maintaining the enhancements for more than a few seconds or using them too often in a short window of time.<br><br>Power: Boundary of Reality and Dream - Using this ability, Pandora is capable of generating powerful illusions affecting both a single target and a wide area. These illusions can affect any and all of the five senses, but the stronger the simulated stimulation, the more Pandora has to focus, potentially leaving her in a catatonic state if she works her illusions too strongly.<br><br>Item Power: Pandora’s Box - A beautiful gold box with various murals of tragedy, gifted to Pandora by Zeus. Since the days of myth, Pandora has learned to manipulate the contents within and bend them to her will.<br><br>Item Power: Poseidon’s Necklace - A pearl necklace bestowed on her by Poseidon that prevents the wearer from drowning.<br><br><br><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong> Pandora appears as a young pale woman, and having been crafted by the gods, she was gifted with exquisite beauty to be as endearing as possible to the first age of Man. She is heterochromatic, having a hazel right eye and an azure left one. Pandora has long auburn hair, falling to the center of her back, which she usually leaves in twin pigtails to the sides of her face. She stands at 5 foot 6 inches, 120 pounds, with a very slim figure aside from her chest.<br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Pandora’s personality fits exclusively to forward her ambitions and desires, and she carefully crafts every facade she shows to manipulate others to do her bidding. Under the various masks is a woman absorbed in her sociopathic tendencies, fueled only by personal interests. Outwardly, she maintains a very neutral presence, but what lies underneath is a mystery to everyone.<br><br><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> Pandora was created by the gods, supposedly as a punishment for the transgressions of Men under the tutelage of Prometheus. Her true origin has been lost to myth, but her awareness has only evolved since the early days, as has her understanding of the ornate box she was tasked with protecting.<br><br><br><strong>FACE CLAIM:</strong> Sarah McDaniel<br><strong>WRITER:</strong> Cressray
