Spoiler: BLACK CARD LORE

This is information we can currently give out regarding the cards and how they work.

• People seem to call them simply as "Black Cards" although "God cards" are also used.
• Cards work through a Lantern Ring way. Once in the possession of a compatible owner, it will become one with the card owner.
• Touching the card grants the person who touched it powers of the god listed in the card. The person who touches the card is also considered the card's owner. Sometimes however, cards are not compatible with a person, in that case, the card will reject the person and will not grant them powers.
• Not one person can manifest powers from two different cards. if they touch another compatible card, the powers from their old card is removed from them.
• In the case where a person using a card loses their powers (ie. because of an ability that removes powers OR because they touched another compatible card and removed the powers of their old card) they must touch their card again to regain those powers.
• It doesn't matter which part of the body makes contact with the card to access it's powers.
• Animals and plants cannot gain access to the powers granted by the card.
• The text on the card can only be read by those compatible with that particular card. If you look at a card's text that you are not compatible with, it will only show strange symbols and the god's symbol.
• You can level up a card by performing tasks that seem to be pleasing to the god marked in that card. Leveling up a card allows you to gain access to more powers.
• There will be rare occasions where the card changes from being compatible to a person to being incompatible. This is due to the person's actions. When the card becomes incompatible with the owner, it no longer allows access to the god's powers. However as long as the person haven't touched another compatible card, it will still consider that person it's "owner".
• If the owner dies, the card will still function normally and will grant powers to the next compatible person that touches it.

Spoiler: Power Help

1. Make powers appropriate for the role you are planning to take!
2. Cut unnecessary/redundant/repetitive powers!
3. Remember that cards give only a piece of a god's powers... not all of them.
4. Remember that there will be cards with similar powers to you, make yours unique!
5. PLEASE. BE. CREATIVE.

[FireMaiden]

​

Name:
Lola Miller
Age:
20
Gender:
Female
Sexuality:
Bi-Sexual, Demi-Romantic
Nationality:
American
Image/Description:
Lola is a small woman, standing at five feet, one inch tall, weighs about 124 pounds, and has a neat hourglass figure. She has very soft feminine features, almond shaped brown eyes, and long dirty blonde hair that reaches just below her mid back. Some people mistake her for a child, something Lola doesn't find funny.

God Name:
Persephone, Goddess Of Spring, Queen of The Underworld
God Details:
Persephone, the daughter of Zues and Demter and the wife of Hades. She was kidnapped by Hades, and when Zeus came to bring her back, she said she wanted to live with her husband in the underworld. She had eaten pomegranate seeds, and eating food from the under world makes you wanna live there. And here comes a comprimise. Half of the year, Persephone would be in the underworld, during the months of autum and winter, and the other half of the year, she would live in Olympus with the other gods, during Spring and Summer.
Powers: Passive = Can't turn it off/Active = Can turn it off
Physic - Passive: Due to Persephone's obvious connction to the underworld, the owner of her card develops the ability to see, communicate, and interacte with the deceased. While they cannot send the sprits to the underworld, or use them to their advantage for more than information or company, and talking to a ghost in public makes you look like a crazy person but sometimes everyone needs someone to talk to yeah? Nope. Lola has to pick and choose carefully because not every spirit is good, and can and will cause her harm given the chance. Some spirit's will stick around longer than welcome, and others don't look human. Those are the ones you defeintly stay away from, spirits that have been stuck for too long, and whose been corrupted in one way or another. And not everyone is in the mood to talk. She is stronger against possible possession and spiritual attacks, but only as strong as someone with high will power.

Calming Aura - Passive: This Calming Aura is primarily aimed towards animals, with limitations towards humans, and allows Lola to handle situations that some people wouldn't be able to. When it comes to animals, almost any animal can be calmed simply by being in her presence, and while it helps to hear her voice, 1-3 minutes is all it takes. Sometimes longer if the animal in question is particularly scared or hostile, but most will eventually calm down. This is a big help when she volunteers at Purrfect Paws. To humans, it's a little more complicated. Since humans are mamals, and therefore animals, her Calming Aura will work on them, but there need's to already be an emotional connection of some sort, positive typically works the best, as dislike means she can't really calm someone down unless they're a very resonable person. It also doesn't work on everyone, if the person is to angry or if they are just totally ignoring her, so it's not as effective. For humans, it requires a bit of focus on both sides.

Flormogriphication - Active: An ability that can cause problems for anyone caught on the other side. Well, one of the other sides I suppose. Lola has the ability to turn organic matter, that is not plant life, into plant. Animals and people have the possibility to be turned into plants, however, that's at a higher level. As of right now, Lola is limited to using her own blood. A bit morbid, yes, but it allows her to create plants on the fly. There are limitations as to what she can create as well, limited to smaller flora items, nothing with thorns, but like her expansion with what organic material she can use, what she can create will expand as well. Practice is what she needs in order to get better at this, though emotional and moral hang ups can prevent one from moving on. However, she wouldn't lose her ability to create plants from her own blood, but if she over does it, she could possibly turn herself, or something important into a plant. Or cause herself to bleed out if she desides to make to many wothout a break.

Plant Manipulation - Active: Of course, the Goddess of Spring would be able to manipulate plants, and so would her cardholder. The card holder will be able to not only be able to manipulate the growth of plants, but be able to bend them to their will. At first, Lola a fairly unsatble control of this ability. It seems to be connected to her emtions, the more stable her emotions are, the better her control is, even if that control needs to be worked on. She will be able to get to the point where she can bend any plant to her will, but she is limited to basic movements. Most of which would be good for defense. If she loses her emotional control, any plant movement is difficult to control and unreliable, but plant growth, something that is fairly simple in concept, and easy to grasp, is subconsciously put into overdrive. Any plants within a five foot radius will grow uncontrolled until she moves out of range, and it will even be possible on rare occasions for flowers to sprout in her hair if it's an emotional extreme she can't calm down from quickly.

​

Occupation:
Florist
Groups:
Mulberry Flowers: A small flower store that sells a good number of arrangements and a few gardening tools. There aren't many employees, only 8, including yours truly. Named after the orginal owner, Martha Mulberry, the small shop has been up and running, family owned for 50 years.
Purrfect Paws Rescue: A volunteer rescue orginization that mainly deals with recusing cats from kill shelters and terrible conditions, though they save dogs as well. Lola volunteers her time in heloing to rehabilitate the cats and dogs who have social issuses or are to scared to interact with humans healthily. She has even helped with the rehabilitation of truly aggressive dogs that wouldn't have been adoptable. They have three different main locations throughout the city, and work with smaller pet stores and has many foster opportunities.
Personaity:
Lola is the type of girl most people ignore, but the one your parents want you to turn out like. She doesn't drink she doesn't smoke anything, she hardly seems to go out anywhere other than work, but she's also the girl that seems to really enjoy life, even if she has to take life a little seriously. She's mature for her age, well compared to some people her age, but she didn't have much choice. She doesn't laugh as jokes most people would find funny, or take part in a lot of the activities most people around her enjoy, and so, like mentioned, she goes unnoticed. That's okay, she's fairly quiet anyway, enjoying reading, relaxing, and videogames over other stuff. It does kinda suck that nobody takes time to get to know her, the real her. The one that's always there for you no matter what, the one who's a great shoulder to cry on and will totally not ask question if you just need someone to drop in and keep you company for no given reason. Anyway, Lola was once described as the most empathetic force of nature that person had evern met. She was kind, always putting others infront of herself despite her own struggling. She keeps her problems hidden, perfering to deal with them by herself unless she absolutely needs help, and it's gonna be heard for her to actually talk about what's bothering her.
Backstory:
Lola Marie Miller was born in San Diego, California to a pair of fairly successful lawyers. As you may assume, being lawyers doesn't leave a lot of time to be with your childern, and after she was aboue two years old, it was a miracle if she saw them more than once a week. So, she was raised by her grandparents, a kind pair, while stern, gave her a happy life in place of what her parents were missing out on. Until they moved to Manhatten when she was 7. Better opportunities and a bigger clientele pool, those were the reasons. It tore her away from her grandparents, and into the arms of interchanging nannies and afterschool tutors as her parents were in fact trying to make her follow in their footsteps. After a few years, they left her on her own, which forced her to learn how to look after herself. She taught herself how to cook, and bake through online videos, and took up most of the house chores because her parents weren't going to do it. Lola neber really compained much, even if they never thanked her, but she did wish she could have acted like a kid. She was the one at the birthday party that the parents would ask to keep an eye on everyone else while they went off to do whatever it was.

She did well in school, and graduated near the top of her class. She defeintly could have done better, but she had recently lost her pet cat, Leo. He was a white cat with blue eyes, and he was just the cutest little thing. She actully recently found his collar and started wearing it as a bracelet oddly enough. Her parents thought it was inexcusable, and so wouldn't ya know it, she moved out as soon as she could. At first it was a little hard, since Manhatten is an expensive city, but zhe soon got the hang of it. Her parents were helping her pay for her aparment, until she gets a better job or starts going to college, which she's going to do just not yet, and Lola is really enjoying her life so far. Though things got a luttle more interesting when she found an envelope addressed to her, and inside was a black card and a letter.

Not to mention, the ghost cat Leo.

• 
  Evan EbbanezaName: Evan Ebbaneza
  Age: 23
  Gender: Male
  Sexuality: Heterosexual
  Nationality: Welsh
  Description:
  Evan is 6'2 and weighs 154lb. Evan's appearance is unassuming and he's never really put himself out there to the point of where his appearance and features are remembered for long. His body is lean but he's packed on some muscle as of late, he isn't necessarily strong in that remark but he manages. His hair is black and rarely well-groomed. Evan's right ear holds an earring, a family heirloom passed down throughout the generations. The earring itself is 2 and a half inches long and is essentially a yellow tassel. On Evan's body lies numerous tattoos depicting arcane and occult iconography, mostly in the form of leering demonic faces, they range from subtle to openly ostentatious.
  
  Personality:
  Evan gives the impression that his general demeanor is cheerful, eccentric and sarcastic. Despite the surface impression, however, he is generally unassuming and is self-deprecating. He has also confessed to being envious of other people. Nevertheless, he accepts these qualities to be repellent to other people, thus he has gained a love for humor and smiling, and acts in a spontaneous manner. He likely believes he can not maintain friendships otherwise. Evan is very careful with his application of jokes for he believes that they must be improvised, or else they are just common lies, moreover he fully understands how they can cause misunderstandings. Evan's mood is generally well kept, except when he feels his time has been wasted; then he becomes somewhat upset. Contrary to his personality, he distances himself when people start getting too close, as he is obsessed with not becoming obsessed with anything.
  
  Evan is generally nice and caring however, he can become spiteful and irritated if pushed. Being pushed to his emotional limits doesn't take long and it usually isn't long either when he starts reacting with violence or harsh words. His experience as a coroner has helped him overcome many of his fears of blood and the ‘creative arts’ corpses. Evan has grown a resistance to sights for sore eyes and doesn’t find time to waver his confidence for them. On the note of confidence, Evan is confident most of the time, he knows when a battle is lost and when his efforts are meaningless. But, he also knows when a fight is in his favor and when it’s the right time to attack with all his might. Calling it last-ditch efforts would be a correct thing to say as Evan is more than ready to give up his life for something he needs to accomplish. Evan isn’t the smartest man ever, he managed in school and has been managing throughout his adult life. When he comes up with plans, they lay on the line between zany and borderline stupid to absolute brilliance and complexity.
  
  Backstory:
  Evan was born to a few nobodies in a place nobody really cared about. Living in a tenement-styled house wasn’t never really comfortable but Evan learned how to cope with less space. Shortly after his birth, his parents left him in the care of his grandfather who took a sweet liking to the young grandson. The grandfather over the years spoke wonderful stories of war, tragedy, fortune, and bravery. These stories were so plentiful and rich with details that they inspired Evan to pursue the career he’s currently in. Viewing dead bodies and listening to the stories of World War 2 veterans may differ greatly but they share an odd uniqueness from Evan’s point of view.
  
  After finishing his major education, he moved on to work in his county’s coroner office where some of the more ‘creative’ bodies are sent. This freaked Evan out and turned him away from the job but he soon came back after finding no other coroner job in the area. The time spent there was fun, especially with his eccentric and overall funny assistants, however they soon grew to become annoying after they would tell the same joke five times in a row after seeing the same body five times in a row.
  
  With income and a somewhat appreciated job, Evan’s life looked up but one day, one corpse had something strange inside of it. Evan, being the coroner he is, opened up the corpse and found a letter addressed to him. This kind of delivery service was uncommon in his county so Evan decided to try and at least monopolize on it. Opening the letter presented a strange black card. As Evan viewed the card’s front, his mind pondered on how this was even possible. Perhaps it was the occult? Or perhaps it’s something much more sinister.
  
• 
  ArawnArawn is the Celtic god of war, revenge, terror, and the dead within the Welsh mythology, he reigns supreme as the ruler of the spiritual realm of Annwn. Being the god of revenge, terror, and the dead. He appears as a huntsman or occasionally a warrior, pursuing a white stag with a pack of red-eared hounds. As god of death and the underworld he is the Lord of the Underworld which is called Annwn. Arawn rarely has reason to venture into the world of the living. In fact, Arawn generally only comes to the world of the living after someone has been resurrected that Arawn would rather keep. Many other gods will endorse resurrections, but none can guarantee that Arawn will leave the matter at that. Arawn has absolute power over life and death among Celtic life.
  
  Spoiler: Guidelines, etc

  This spoiler is basically what's gonna be reminding me of some of the guidelines that I have created and have to follow to make this character work in the way I want him to. This will also feature some clarifications on how Arawn and his many realms will be represented in this roleplay.
  
  Guidelines:
  The dead may not be resurrected, ever.
  Losing favor with Arawn will result in him becoming angry which can cause either; the revoking of powers, forceful spending of time in Annwn, death, etc.
  Disobeying Arawn's specific tasks may cause an injury (minor or fatal) be inflicted on Evan's body.
  
  Gaining favor:
  This is a hard one, mostly because Arawn has never explicitly stated or have stated for him of what makes him happy. So I’m gonna take some personal liberties with this.
  
  Participating in the Night of Samhain & Bringing back Souls:
  Possibly the two best ways to secure favor with Arawn. The Night of Samhain (which for rp purposes will happen probably every night or so depending on how I see it) is an event where the souls of the dead may escape the Underworld Annwn and come back to the world of the living as apparitions. Arawn generally lets this happen however, he doesn’t let it happen without a fight. To gain favor in this event, Evan has to reclaim souls and send them back to Underworld Annwn. When the event is over, Evan may also reclaim souls that have become apparations and send them back to the Underworld Annwn. Arawn May also call for specific souls to be reclaimed and in the event for that to happen, Evan will be given a set time to accomplish the task, otherwise he loses favor and may be given an injury as a result.
  
  Vacation in Annwn:
  Arawn is a busy and lonely man, many visit his realms but none stay. Thus, he requires some level of interaction besides the occasional scream. Evan may spend time or be forced to spend time in Otherworld Annwn. Simply being there is enough however Evan will be able to do specific activities and events in order to gain more favor.
  
  The Realms of Annwn:
  For roleplay purposes and to represent Arawn in his fullest, Annwn will be split into two realms. Otherworld Annwn and Underworld Annwn. Think of it as good and bad. Otherworld Annwn is a wonderful never ending forest and land of plains, the trees are white and in the center of the land lies the castle of Arawn. Small houses of previous visitors are spread about, all are typically empty. It's a land of wonderful delights and eternal youth where disease is absent and food is ever-abundant. Many come to visit but never stay.
  
  Underworld Annwn however is basically just what you think hell is like, calling it bleak and pretty depressing would be a good way to describe it. Some come to visit, and many eventually come to stay.
  
  TBD Powers:
  Hunter of the Dead:
  With this power, Evan is able to personify Arawn’s hunter part of his mythology. This power is only able to be accessed by speaking an incantation of Arawn’s existence in current welsh mythology;
  “Long is the day, long is the night, and long is the waiting of Arawn.”
  When spoken, Evan is free to spend as much time in the hunter form but with a catch. The longer he spends time in the hunter form, the more he has to spend time in the Otherworld Annwn, time allotted in the hunter form is divided by 2 to equal the amount of time he has to spend in Otherworld Annwn. When using this power, Evan transforms into a representation of Arawn’s hunting appearance. With pelts of all kinds placed around his body. The pelts being what makes up what covers his body. In this state, Evan is given exceptional speed, strength, and hand-eye coordination. The latter being the most beneficial as Evan is given a spear that returns to his hand when thrown. However, Evan in this form lacks defense and perception. Perception in this case is not being able to focus on a group, rather in this hunter form, his gaze will always be locked on a single target.
  
  Warrior of the Dead:
  This power let's Evan access and personify the warrior aspect of Arawn, the aspect of Arawn's dutiful guardianship of the dead. This form is also the personification of Arawn's vengeance which leads to how to access and maintain the power. Accessing the power is easy and without hassle, just by simply willing the form into existence is enough. Maintaining the form however can be difficult. Being angry or generally upset is something that can keep the power going for a good amount of time but the urge to kill or being in a state of extreme anger can keep it going for longer than what's imaginable.
  
  In this form, Evan's anger is amplified and thus, it becomes difficult to differ friend from foe and strategize effectively. The casing of armor that covers his body is tough and hard but heavy and difficult to maneuver in. A zweihander is given to Evan in this form, a swing of the sword can shake the ground under it but due to this, it's exceptionally weighted.
  
  Powers:
  Enmity - Evan is capable of projecting one of Arawn’s more elusive aspects; terror. This power lets Evan emit an almost psychic-like signal that can cause a person to react to the slightest things with fear. The effect it has on people is generally streamlined, meaning he can’t really direct and control what makes people react with fear. Evan has however been able to control the level of fear and the area that it effects. When someone enters the area and stays for more than 2 minutes, the effect will begin. Should they leave while the effect is active, the fear they experienced will become an almost traumatic-like memory.
  
  Hunter’s Sense - As Arawn is sometimes seen as a hunter, it’s no question he’s got the skills to be a real hunter. Evan gained that kind of aspect with this power. Hunter’s Sense lets Evan dive into a primal state where he’s able to track down and find people. He can find people in any amounts of ways, from smell to simple intuition. His senses and overall brain activity boost exponentially in order for him to find what he’s looking for. Clues become more vivid and abstract clues piece together more intuitively. This doesn’t mean to say what all of his clues mix up to is correct but it’s often the best he can manage with. With senses, he’s able to pin his senses to a specific thing or let his senses widen in order to look for something in a wider area.

  Name: Benjamin Martin; Old Ben
  Age: 49
  Gender: Male
  Sexuality: Bisexual
  Nationality: American
  
  Occupation: Private Investigator
  Groups:
  - Martin & Partners Private Investigation Agency
  - NYPD; former police detective, inspector
  - FBI; former agent
  
  Personality: Ben is a private investigator; once the best in his field, and still holding up as a cunning and dependable man. He solved more cases over the years than he'd bother counting, and he is now interested in solving cases related to the appearance of the mysterious black cards, as well as passing on his skills to his protégé; Amara Djinn.
  
  Ben was always well-read and intelligent, but above that, he was always meticulous, streetsmart and witty. He can get out of difficult situations thanks to experience and tidbits of practical knowledge. He gave his entire life to the trade of investigation, deduction, and catching criminals, and since he has nothing else to do, he continues his work even in retirement.
  
  He is somewhat cynical and bitter, having a misanthropic worldview. He is a retired, city beat cop and grizzled FBI agent, as salty as they come. He has grown jaded to things like death and doesn't even pause at the sight of blood or gore, but despite that, he still has a good heart driving him: this, and his natural cunning and aptitude for using it for the people's good, is what made Enki choose him as the holder of his card.
  
  Backstory: Ben was the son of the NYPD police commissioner, back when crime in the city was at its peak. His father instilled into him a strong sense of morals, and Ben decided to go in his old man's footsteps; he graduated from the police academy as one of the best cadets, and was soon promoted to junior detective, then inspector, thanks to his aptitude for crime-solving.
  
  After a successful career working for the NYPD, he was offered a station in the FBI, which he accepted with encouragement from his father. He has signed an NDA to not disclose anything of his time with the agency. He worked with the FBI for many years, and during his time there, he became jaded and insensitive. After all the work he's done, he has been allowed to retire early for reasons best left unmentioned, with additional retirement funds.
  
  He decided to put his money to use by opening a private investigation office and solving cases. Recently, however, he received a mysterious black card...
• God Name: Enki / Ea
  
  
  
  God Details: Enki, also known as Ea, is the Mesopotamian deity of water, knowledge, trickery, crafts, and creation. He is sometimes associated with Nabu; the god of literacy, wisdom, rational arts, and scribes; as well as with Abzu, the god of water, rivers, oceans, seas, lakes, and aquifers. Among gods, Enki is a leader, although not the head honcho of the pantheon. Enki is thought of as generally benevolent, trustworthy, and kind towards humanity, bringing water and being merciful despite being a trickster.
  
  Powers:
  
  - Enhanced Intuition / Clairvoyance: As the god of knowledge and trickery, Enki's card allows the user to draw upon clairvoyant knowledge. This power has several aspects.
  
  Firstly, it grants the user a 6th, clairvoyant sense that allows them to figure out things they shouldn't be able to, like putting together a puzzle despite having only half the pieces. For example, it is possible to tell from observing the way that someone's lips move what they are saying, despite not having learned lip-reading previously. Or, for example, with enough observation, one could determine a person's phone password from knowing which hand is their dominant, whether they are confident or timid, what their favorite number is, etc. It requires some knowledge to start with, but allows to make greater, some would say Holmesian leaps of subconscious logic.
  
  This power also doubles as a danger sense and a general combat sense. It lets the user know that someone is sneaking up on them or about to attack them. During combat, the user can intuit which moves would be advantageous to make or what the enemy is most likely to do, acting as a form of lackluster prescience. It makes detecting, as well as performing feints and tricks mid-combat much easier, allowing the user to see through the enemy's fighting style and see their weaknesses and how to trick them.
  
  - Enhanced Crafting / Creation: As the god of creation and crafts, Enki's card allows the user to gain an aptitude for crafting objects with improved, preternatural, or outright supernatural properties, in addition to conjuring materials and add-ons to the objects crafted. The user can pick apart a handgun, take several mechanical levers and create a new firing chamber, and put the handgun back together with it only to find that the rounds fired from it can now pierce kevlar. It is possible to improve any object this way, but it should be noted that it takes time to craft and create the objects, and they require regular maintenance. In addition, tools or other requirements may be present to make certain alterations. Should some materials (but not tools) be absent, it is possible to substitute them by conjuring them from thin air. The user cannot form tools spontaneously, but it is possible to craft tools with this power's assistance.
  
  However, it is notoriously difficult, bordering on the impossible, to craft something out of nothing; there must be a base material with which to begin the crafting process. For example, it is impossible to manifest a baseball bat out of thin air (as fun as that would be,) but it is possible to have a tree branch and remodel it into a baseball bat by conjuring more wood on top of it, which can then further be improved by adding spontaneously created nails or razor wire. Naturally, each step takes a lot of time.
  
  The user has an instinctive understanding of the changes they make, but not of how they make them. It is as if the user entered a fugue, almost sleepwalking state when they craft the objects. It should be noted that although small objects of minor use can be created "on the fly," in a jury-rigged, MacGuyver-ish fashion thanks to the creation aspect of it, this is generally a long-term power that requires tools, a silent workbench, and starting materials to work with; especially if the intended result is "more than mundane." The more time and effort, as well as tool and workspace availability, the better the results. Relying too much on the spontaneous conjuring of materials - although it can be useful - will produce subpar results.

Done! Wasn't really big on water manipulation. Just kind of tacked it in there, since it's also a part of Enki's attributes, but I'd honestly rather play a guy who relies on trickery and tinkering. It seems more fun that way.

  Evan EbbanezaView attachment 565214Name: Evan Ebbaneza
  Age: 23
  Gender: Male
  Sexuality: Heterosexual
  Nationality: Welsh
  Description:
  Evan is 6'2 and weighs 154lb. Evan's appearance is unassuming and he's never really put himself out there to the point of where his appearance and features are remembered for long. His body is lean but he's packed on some muscle as of late, he isn't necessarily strong in that remark but he manages. His hair is black and rarely well-groomed. Evan's right ear holds an earring, a family heirloom passed down throughout the generations. The earring itself is 2 and a half inches long and is essentially a yellow tassel. On Evan's body lies numerous tattoos depicting arcane and occult iconography, mostly in the form of leering demonic faces, they range from subtle to openly ostentatious.
  
  Personality:
  Evan gives the impression that his general demeanor is cheerful, eccentric and sarcastic. Despite the surface impression, however, he is generally unassuming and is self-deprecating. He has also confessed to being envious of other people. Nevertheless, he accepts these qualities to be repellent to other people, thus he has gained a love for humor and smiling, and acts in a spontaneous manner. He likely believes he can not maintain friendships otherwise. Evan is very careful with his application of jokes for he believes that they must be improvised, or else they are just common lies, moreover he fully understands how they can cause misunderstandings. Evan's mood is generally well kept, except when he feels his time has been wasted; then he becomes somewhat upset. Contrary to his personality, he distances himself when people start getting too close, as he is obsessed with not becoming obsessed with anything.
  
  Evan is generally nice and caring however, he can become spiteful and irritated if pushed. Being pushed to his emotional limits doesn't take long and it usually isn't long either when he starts reacting with violence or harsh words. His experience as a coroner has helped him overcome many of his fears of blood and the ‘creative arts’ corpses. Evan has grown a resistance to sights for sore eyes and doesn’t find time to waver his confidence for them. On the note of confidence, Evan is confident most of the time, he knows when a battle is lost and when his efforts are meaningless. But, he also knows when a fight is in his favor and when it’s the right time to attack with all his might. Calling it last-ditch efforts would be a correct thing to say as Evan is more than ready to give up his life for something he needs to accomplish. Evan isn’t the smartest man ever, he managed in school and has been managing throughout his adult life. When he comes up with plans, they lay on the line between zany and borderline stupid to absolute brilliance and complexity.
  
  Backstory:
  Evan was born to a few nobodies in a place nobody really cared about. Living in a tenement-styled house wasn’t never really comfortable but Evan learned how to cope with less space. Shortly after his birth, his parents left him in the care of his grandfather who took a sweet liking to the young grandson. The grandfather over the years spoke wonderful stories of war, tragedy, fortune, and bravery. These stories were so plentiful and rich with details that they inspired Evan to pursue the career he’s currently in. Viewing dead bodies and listening to the stories of World War 2 veterans may differ greatly but they share an odd uniqueness from Evan’s point of view.
  
  After finishing his major education, he moved on to work in his county’s coroner office where some of the more ‘creative’ bodies are sent. This freaked Evan out and turned him away from the job but he soon came back after finding no other coroner job in the area. The time spent there was fun, especially with his eccentric and overall funny assistants, however they soon grew to become annoying after they would tell the same joke five times in a row after seeing the same body five times in a row.
  
  With income and a somewhat appreciated job, Evan’s life looked up but one day, one corpse had something strange inside of it. Evan, being the coroner he is, opened up the corpse and found a letter addressed to him. This kind of delivery service was uncommon in his county so Evan decided to try and at least monopolize on it. Opening the letter presented a strange black card. As Evan viewed the card’s front, his mind pondered on how this was even possible. Perhaps it was the occult? Or perhaps it’s something much more sinister.

  ArawnView attachment 565237Arawn is the Celtic god of war, revenge, terror, and the dead within the Welsh mythology, he reigns supreme as the ruler of the spiritual realm of Annwn. Being the god of revenge, terror, and the dead. He appears as a huntsman or occasionally a warrior, pursuing a white stag with a pack of red-eared hounds. As god of death and the underworld he is the Lord of the Underworld which is called Annwn. Arawn rarely has reason to venture into the world of the living. In fact, Arawn generally only comes to the world of the living after someone has been resurrected that Arawn would rather keep. Many other gods will endorse resurrections, but none can guarantee that Arawn will leave the matter at that. Arawn has absolute power over life and death among Celtic life.
  
  Spoiler: Guidelines, etc

  This spoiler is basically what's gonna be reminding me of some of the guidelines that I have created and have to follow to make this character work in the way I want him to. This will also feature some clarifications on how Arawn and his many realms will be represented in this roleplay.
  
  Guidelines:
  The dead may not be resurrected, ever.
  Losing favor with Arawn will result in him becoming angry which can cause either; the revoking of powers, forceful spending of time in Annwn, death, etc.
  Disobeying Arawn's specific tasks may cause an injury (minor or fatal) be inflicted on Evan's body.
  
  Gaining favor:
  This is a hard one, mostly because Arawn has never explicitly stated or have stated for him of what makes him happy. So I’m gonna take some personal liberties with this.
  
  Participating in the Night of Samhain & Bringing back Souls:
  Possibly the two best ways to secure favor with Arawn. The Night of Samhain (which for rp purposes will happen probably every night or so depending on how I see it) is an event where the souls of the dead may escape the Underworld Annwn and come back to the world of the living as apparitions. Arawn generally lets this happen however, he doesn’t let it happen without a fight. To gain favor in this event, Evan has to reclaim souls and send them back to Underworld Annwn. When the event is over, Evan may also reclaim souls that have become apparations and send them back to the Underworld Annwn. Arawn May also call for specific souls to be reclaimed and in the event for that to happen, Evan will be given a set time to accomplish the task, otherwise he loses favor and may be given an injury as a result.
  
  Vacation in Annwn:
  Arawn is a busy and lonely man, many visit his realms but none stay. Thus, he requires some level of interaction besides the occasional scream. Evan may spend time or be forced to spend time in Otherworld Annwn. Simply being there is enough however Evan will be able to do specific activities and events in order to gain more favor.
  
  The Realms of Annwn:
  For roleplay purposes and to represent Arawn in his fullest, Annwn will be split into two realms. Otherworld Annwn and Underworld Annwn. Think of it as good and bad. Otherworld Annwn is a wonderful never ending forest and land of plains, the trees are white and in the center of the land lies the castle of Arawn. Small houses of previous visitors are spread about, all are typically empty. It's a land of wonderful delights and eternal youth where disease is absent and food is ever-abundant. Many come to visit but never stay.
  
  Underworld Annwn however is basically just what you think hell is like, calling it bleak and pretty depressing would be a good way to describe it. Some come to visit, and many eventually come to stay.
  
  Powers:
  Hunter of the Dead:
  With this power, Evan is able to personify Arawn’s hunter part of his mythology. This power is only able to be accessed by speaking an incantation of Arawn’s existence in current welsh mythology;
  “Long is the day, long is the night, and long is the waiting of Arawn.”
  When spoken, Evan is free to spend as much time in the hunter form but with a catch. The longer he spends time in the hunter form, the more he has to spend time in the Otherworld Annwn, time allotted in the hunter form is divided by 2 to equal the amount of time he has to spend in Otherworld Annwn. When using this power, Evan transforms into a representation of Arawn’s hunting appearance. With pelts of all kinds placed around his body. The pelts being what makes up what covers his body. In this state, Evan is given exceptional speed, strength, and hand-eye coordination. The latter being the most beneficial as Evan is given a spear that returns to his hand when thrown. However, Evan in this form lacks defense and perception. Perception in this case is not being able to focus on a group, rather in this hunter form, his gaze will always be locked on a single target.
  
  Warrior of the Dead:
  This power let's Evan access and personify the warrior aspect of Arawn, the aspect of Arawn's dutiful guardianship of the dead. This form is also the personification of Arawn's vengeance which leads to how to access and maintain the power. Accessing the power is easy and without hassle, just by simply willing the form into existence is enough. Maintaining the form however can be difficult. Being angry or generally upset is something that can keep the power going for a good amount of time but the urge to kill or being in a state of extreme anger can keep it going for longer than what's imaginable.
  
  In this form, Evan's anger is amplified and thus, it becomes difficult to differ friend from foe and strategize effectively. The casing of armor that covers his body is tough and hard but heavy and difficult to maneuver in. A zweihander is given to Evan in this form, a swing of the sword can shake the ground under it but due to this, it's exceptionally weighted.

  (Figured I’d tag you Safety Hammer so that you know mine is no longer in the development stage)
  

I can see where you are coming from with the powers, but I would prefer you stick to more abstract powers rather than simply transforming onto your god through the card. The ability to summon weaponry and armor are things that you would only be able to do after you have leveled up your card.

I would save those ideas, but we cannot allow them this early in the game. Try to think on the fringes of what Arawn is the god of. For example, if I were writing powers for Odin, his first abilities would be things like "the ability to talk to birds" or even "near future premonition".

Summoming weapons and armor, as well as your god's personality should wait til your character has a deeper understanding of the cards, and not at the very beginning.

  Name: Amara Djinn
  Age: 27
  Gender: Male
  Sexuality: Asexual
  Nationality: American
  
  Occupation: Private Detective
  Groups:
  
  -NYPD (Former Homicide Detective)
  -Martin & Partners Private Investigation Agency
  
  Personality: Compared to his boss, Amara Djinn has a much cheerier outlook on life. He originally joined the NYPD to make a difference and he believes he can make just as much of a difference as a private detective. He has quite a bit of confidence about him, feeling as if he can do anything so long as he puts his mind to it and tries hard enough.
  
  He enjoys making jokes and quips, usually to bring a little levity to a serious situation. He believes that laughing really is the best medicine sometimes and it can help you deal with the stress of the moment. Sometimes he enters into snark territory, usually when talking to people he’s interrogating or helping to interrogate.
  
  Despite all appearances, Amara takes his job very seriously. He is genuinely dedicated to his job and making the world a better place. He wants to make sure that there are less criminals out there than before and that people can feel safe.
  
  Backstory: Amara has a really boring backstory. For most of his life he enjoys reading mystery novels and he thought that detectives were the coolest things ever. As such his dream job was being a detective for for the NYPD.
  
  He held on to that dream for quite a long time and finally achieved it following college graduation and police academy training. It only lasted a little while, not because he was did a bad job and was fired or anything, but because he met Benjamin Martin in a bar and for some reason he ended up quitting and working for him instead.
  
  As of recently, Amara found a card on the floor along with his rent and bills upon returning to his apartment...

  God Name: Hermes
  God Details:
  Hermes is the greek god of, well, a lot. He’s the god of thieves, travellers, poetry, literature, Invention, Trade, and a whole bunch of other things I don’t feel like listing. He is known for his trickery and cunning as well as being the messenger of the gods. He has a pair of sandals that let him fly.
  Powers:
  
  Flight: The power of Hermes let’s one soar through the air via little astral wings that pop out of the users heels when in use. The flight is rather limited compared to what other gods might have (Hermes doesn’t quite have the flight power of a god of wind such as Aeolus) so it’s not really possible to fly higher than a moderately sized NYC skyscraper. Despite this, however, the flight is very fast, allowing one to, for example, get from one side of manhattan to the other in about 30 minutes. Half the time it would normally take.
  
  Despite this, the power isn’t really useful for super long distance travel. You’re not gonna be using it to travel cross country, even if it’s just between two states. NYC is pretty far from the state border in the first place so you’re just gonna tire yourself out.
  
  Tarot Reading: According to myth, Hermes made a deal with Apollo that ended up with him having power over minor ways of fortune telling such as Tarot Cards (though I don’t think they had Tarot Cards at the time). Someone with the power of Hermes is able to gleam minor bits of information from such Tarot Cards. Mainly, they can figure out what someone is feeling with surprising accuracy. This would be useful in such situations as an interrogation, where you can tell if the one being interrogated is lying based on their emotions.
  
  Luck of Hermes: The power of Hermes allows one to be very lucky in games of chance. For example, if one needed to draw a specific card from a deck, there’s a higher than average chance that they would draw that card. Or, if one needed to roll a certain number on a die, there’s a higher than average chance they would roll that number.
  
  This power is also useful for minor everyday situations. For example, finding a random penny on the ground. Not exactly to important but lucky if you believe in that stuff. Or finding something you lost a long time ago. Or coincidentally dodging ir catching a ball that was headed your way.
  
  
• 
  Skills:
  
  Detective Skills: Amara is a relatively competent detective. Not quite top level but still pretty good.
  
  Gun use: Not an expert but he learned the basics of using a gun in police academy.
  
  Knowledge of Laws: Kind of a requirement for his line of work.
  
  Hand to Hand: Not a real good fighter but he can at least defend himself from basic attacks. He’s probably gonna get knocked down quickly.
  
  Penmanship: Amara has excellent handwriting.
  
  Acting: Joined theater club in high school and retained the ability to act.
  
  Ignoring Distractions: Amara is very good at ignoring most distractions.
  
  Puzzles: he enjoys solving puzzles and is rather good at it,

[Twin Fantasy]

Name: Noemi Espejo
Age: 19
Gender: Nonbinary (she/her or they/them)
Sexuality: Pansexual
Nationality: South Mexico
Image/Description: Noemi is insanely small. For starters, she's only 4'11, barely taller than some people several years younger than her. Even the average high school boy could most likely dwarf her in an instant. Not only that, but she's remarkably thin, clocking in at about 99 pounds. In spite of that fact, her body is mostly pudge, and she has an especially round face with soft cheeks and a slightly dimpled chin. Her eyes are brown, and always behind a pair of blue, rectangular glasses. Her skin tone is a relatively light sandy tone much paler than most people of her race. Her hair is black, shaved into a sort of mohawk that hangs leftwards over one eye. The tips of her hair are colored a very dark blue-green color. She's also rarely seen without a beanie covering the back of her head, usually an average purple or pink one. She has a metal septum piercing, three ear piercings in each ear (lobe, daith and orbital on both sides.) Her eyebrows are shaved and usually drawn in. She also wears a deep purple, green or black lipstick almost every day. Her teeth are normal, albeit with a wide gap between the front two.

Moving downwards, her chest is small for her age, to the point that she often doesn't need to wear a bra. Her neck is thin with noticeable muscles and collarbones, and she has small shoulders. Her arms are proportioned normally to her body, and dusted with freckles that can also be seen on her face. Her stomach sort of hangs outward, mostly when she hunches over, which is always. Her thighs are skinny, and feet small. She rarely ever shaves her legs or armpits.

Coming around to clothing, Noemi always wears as many layers as feasible considering the weather. She hates shorts and will never be seen wearing them. Most commonly, her get-up involves a scarf, a weighty jacket, sweatpants and sneakers. This type of baggy clothing makes her body look much bigger than it actually is. She also owns a wide array of hoodies that she likes to hide inside of when people start talking to her. She cannot stand the texture of blue jeans, and seemingly wears only sweats and yoga pants. She owns a few dresses, but will rarely ever be seen in them.

God Name: Xolotl
God Details:


Xolotl is associated with many things. He is the twin brother of Quetzalcoatl and son of the virgin Coatlicue, who created the moon, sun and stars according to Aztec myth. His job was to lead souls into the underworld, as well as protect the sun during the nights, where it goes through the underworld. Most often, Xolotl is depicted as a strange-looking dog bearing the wind jewel and ear ornaments. He had many god titles, and was god of fire, lightning, twins, monsters, misfortune, sickness and deformity. He is often followed by dogs.

Powers:

• Dogspeak: The ability to communicate with dogs. Also is just constantly followed around by them.
• Disease Induction: Can cause disease through touch. For the moment, nothing stronger than a cold, and can only be transmitted through touch.
• Vermin Friendship: Along with dogs, a user of the Xolotl card also has dominion over "vermin" species and parasites, AKA our modern-day monstrosities. This includes but is not limited to rats, ticks, termites, wasps, pigeons, roaches, and botflies. They can communicate to some extent and will follow the user relentlessly.
• Bad Luck: More of a weakness than a power, users of the Xolotl card are almost always stricken with poor luck. This can be anything from getting pooped on by a bird to crashing a car.
• Preference: The Xolotl card is most compatible with people who are deformed, sick, or disabled. Not really a power, more of just a tidbit.
• Twin Brother: If the carrier of the Xolotl card were to meet the carrier of the Quetzalcoatl card, their powers combined could create an incomprehensible level of energy. It's unknown what exactly will happen, but it'll be terrifying, no doubt.

Occupation: Art school
Groups:

• Sherwood Art Academy: The local art school. Relatively small, but still difficult to get into due to high standards.
• Purrfect Paws Rescue: Noemi calls it her "side hustle". She works with socializing dogs due to having owned several shelter dogs in the past, as well as cats. (Though not as often).

Personality: Noemi is a gruff and often harsh person. Most people find her difficult to get along with, as she often reads as judgemental, pretentious, antisocial, or just really fucking mean. Which is kind of true. Noemi has no intention of being mean. She's extremely genuine, absolutely to a fault. If you look like shit, she will tell you that. She has next to no filter and doesn't often display much emotion. Which isn't to say she's a bad person, she sincerely has no idea she comes off this way to people. It's difficult to tell whether she likes you or not, since she's extremely antisocial and will never ask to hang out with you first.

She does have an extreme soft spot for animals, especially rodents and dogs. She keeps two pet rats who she dotes on almost to an extreme degree. She's also deeply passionate about cartoons (especially anime) and tabletop roleplaying games. However, in her free time she prefers to be completely alone, with only her rats as company. Her sense of humor is particularly dry and bleak, to the point where it's difficult to tell whether she's being sarcastic or serious.

In spite of her many faults, Noemi is a very loyal friend, with her greatest shortcoming being an inability to show affection. She will always give people the straightforward truth, even if it hurts a little bit. She's emotionally difficult, but arguably, worth it in the end.

Backstory: Noemi was the daughter of a prostitute, one of two twins. The son was taken into police custody and never heard from again. The decision of who would be saddled with Noemi was difficult, but she found her way into the hands of her birth father. The man was a rampant alcoholic, and often neglectful of his daughter. Due to a poor police force in her area, this wasn't dealt with for a long time. She was severely malnourished and had a fair amount of trouble in the growth and development department. Her skin got dry, she developed anemia and diabetes, and she never grew any taller than 4'11.

When she was 11, she was found alone in her home. The house was filthy, and she clearly hadn't eaten in awhile. Her father was already under fire for carrying more than the legal amount of cocaine. (Which is 500g in Mexico as of 2009.) Now he was quickly locked up for child neglect. Upon evaluating Noemi, it was discovered she had a severe iron deficiency, and her insulin levels were dangerously low. What's more, she had trouble reading. (Though could speak fluently.) Whilst trying to decide what to do with Noemi, her mother suddenly re-appeared, now working a stable job. They quickly moved to the states as soon as the legal issues were worked out. All of the court drama took about a year, leaving Noemi at about 12.

It was then that Noemi very slowly began to rebuild her life, though she could never truly be normal. Making friends came with the fear that they might leave, and she still suffers from PTSD due to her early-life experiences. Integrating her into society was difficult, but she managed to reach an adequate level about three years later. During this time, Noemi was finally able to explore something she never had before -- hobbies.

In her home in Mexico, there was little to do with herself. However, now she was living in a surprisingly cushy environment, in spite of her mother's more-than-humble beginnings. But she very quickly took to art, as it allowed her to express her emotions visually in ways that she couldn't verbally. Despite years of therapy, she still couldn't manage to discuss her trauma, but boy could she ever paint it. She became an art fanatic, loving all mediums from cartooning to painting to sculpting. During these years she discovered all sorts of new interests, things that she could finally latch onto. One complicated graduation later, and she was off to art school.

She had no interest in the social aspects of college, and alienated herself from her peers. She was purely here to learn, and learn she would. Noemi managed to work out an agreement with a classmate, and the two rent an apartment together, so long as he stays on "his side of the house", which is marked clearly in tape on the floor.

God Name: Morpheus
God Details: Morpheus is the Greek god of dreams, born from Hypnos, god of sleep, and Pasithea, goddess of rest. He gives people their dreams and can even communicate to people through them, like a dream messenger. He can also manipulate the content of people's dreams and can appear in them as any person he wishes. He is also known to give future-telling dreams. Morpheus and his brothers also all have wings, so he can fly as well.
Powers:

• Dream manipulation and sight: The ability to control the dreams of others. The lower-level version of this power only allows the user to give dreams, but they cannot control the content. At a higher level, the user can not only control the content of the dreams, but they can give waking dreams akin to hallucinations. This card also allows the user to see into people's dreams.
• Shape-shifting: The recipient of this card can completely transform themselves if in a dream. There are restrictions, however -- they can only change themselves within the limits of still being a human. They cannot change into animals or inanimate objects.
• Minor future vision: Morpheus sometimes gives oracle dreams, but how can this happen if one cannot see the future? This is a very limited power, and even at its highest levels the user can only see a few days into the future at most. They can get a general idea of what's going on, but details are fuzzy. Initially, though, they can only see the next few minutes.
• Sleep: The user has the ability to put others to sleep by touching them. The length of time that they can stay asleep depends on the level of the card.
• Effects on the user: The proprietor of the Morpheus card will begin having strange dreams very frequently. They will also feel more tired and sleepy than usual.

Occupation: Graduate Student/Teaching Assistant

Personality: Juniper is generally a very relaxing person. Not relaxed -- she's actually rather high-strung -- but relaxing. She has a quality of making others feel calm and welcome, and while she's not exactly charming or flirty, she's great with people. She's the type of person where friends would come to her dorm when they were having a crisis and she'd be able to talk with them and soothe them. Seemingly, the only person she can't relax is herself! You'd be hard-pressed to find someone more simultaneously calming and anxious than Juniper. When alone, she's pretty much always scattered, never able to quite keep track of all of her responsibilities. Whether it's leaving her notebook on her desk or forgetting that she was supposed to hold office hours that day, she's always forgetting something. And she's so aware of this that she has a lot of anxiety about what she's going to screw up next -- but this tends to make things worse for her. She gets a kind of tunnel vision, stressing so much about what the most important thing coming up is that anything less crucial can kind of fall by the wayside. However, despite this frazzled interior, she always projects a calm persona -- fake it 'til you make it, right?

Backstory: Juniper was born in a suburb of San Francisco, CA to two Korean immigrant parents. Her mother, Jang-Mi, was a stay-at-home mom, while her father, Ki-Nam, worked long hours in a nearby factory. They were a very happy family for a while, but things became harder when Juniper was three years old and her brother, Theodore, came along. Theodore was a sickly child, and was born with a congenital heart defect. This was amended through several surgeries, but the medical bills started piling up and their serene home life became a lot more difficult. Ki-Nam and Jang-Mi began to fight constantly about money. Actually, a fight would imply that both parties were participating, but it was more Ki-Nam screaming at Jang-Mi until he tired himself out. Juniper grew scared of her father, and would never stand up to him, so she did the only thing she could: calm her mother down afterwards. They'd talk, maybe play a small game or bake or do some other activity to take her mind off of her troubles for a while, and that seemed to help a lot. She learned from a young age that she had to push her problems down and never show that she was struggling, because she had to be strong for her mom. Her parents never divorced or separated, so she had to deal with this basically up until she left for college.

Upon beginning school, Juniper was concentrated on being a good student. She didn't want to cause any problems for her parents, so she strove to be independent and a hard worker. She wasn't number one student or anything, but certainly up there. She surrounded herself with a small, studious group of friends and they all did their schoolwork together and sometimes did more fun things on weekends. She became enamored with politics in high school, and began contemplating studying that in the future. She qualified for a scholarship to a nearby prestigious college, UC Berkeley, and lost contact with these friends upon leaving. This was sad, but some friendships really hinge on proximity, and when she moved away to school, it just became too hard to keep in touch. However, she still called her mom almost every day to make sure she was doing alright. In her undergraduate years, Juniper decided to major in political science, with a minor in public policy. She is currently working on her masters in polisci and also is a (paid!) graduate teaching assistant for several classes. She has one very good friend that she sees frequently, another graduate student named Mia Blackwell, and several friendly acquaintances. She is overall pretty pleased with the state of her life at the moment -- unfortunately, it seems like something is about to disrupt it...

  God Name: Dionysus
  God Details: Dionysus (Διόνυσος, Dionysos, Bacchus) is the god of the grape-harvest, winemaking and wine, of fertility, ritual madness, religious ecstasy, and theatre in ancient Greek religion and myth. Wine played an important role in Greek culture, and the cult of Dionysus was the main religious focus for its unrestrained consumption. He is a god of epiphany, "the god that comes", and his "foreignness" as an arriving outsider-god may be inherent and essential to his cults. He is a major, popular figure of Greek mythology and religion, becoming increasingly important over time, and included in some lists of the twelve Olympians, as the last of their number, and the only god born from a mortal mother. His festivals were the driving force behind the development of Greek theatre.
  Powers:
  
  • Alcohol Manipulation - The cardholder of the Dionysus card is able to manipulate objects containing sugar, and fermenting the sugars into alcohol. The object must contain sugar in it for it to be turned into alcohol.

  • Intoxicating Charm - This power allows the cardholder to compel others to believe what they say and agree with anything they suggest. More powerful minds have proven immune to the cardholder's charm, and people who are consciously aware of what they are doing can shake off the effects.

• 
  
  Name: Malik Deanderson Caldera
  Age: 28
  Gender: Male
  Sexuality: Bisexual
  Nationality: African American
  
  Occupation: Senior Manager at Windham Resort
  Groups: Windham Mountain Resort
  
  Personality: Malik is about as laid back as it gets. Highly informal to all but his superiors, the only time he doesn't go with the flow is when he has to run the flow at his job. He can be pretty flirtatious and talkative, which helps put people at ease. He rarely ever dresses professionally, but his competence at the job makes his superiors overlook some of the dresscode standards he doesn't want to appeal to. He doesn't believe you need black suit and tie to talk to the CEO, so he wouldn't wear it unless there were very special circumstances. Overall, he's very very good at his job, very smart. His co-workers and subordinates are very much loyal to him. His ideas manage to rake in lots of dough for the resort even at the lowest times of the year.
  That isn't to say he's perfect. He's big on "out with the old, in with the new", especially when it comes to people. He's sarcastic and extremely quick with the wit, and the tongue is nondiscriminatory. He's been known to cancel reservations, and kick out people who are discriminatory or rude to his workers. He can be overdramatic, hailing from his drama nerd path in high school. If you don't like this in a senior manager, it will annoy the hell out of you, as it does his superiors. If he weren't so good at his job, he would've been fired already.

  Skadi
  Norse Goddess of Skiing, Mountains, Hunting, and Winter​
  
  
  Skadi (pronounced “SKAHD-ee;” Old Norse Skaði) is a giantess and goddess in Norse mythology. Her name is either identical with the Old Norse common noun skaði, “harm,” or comes from another Germanic root preserved in the Gothic word skadus and the Old English sceadu, both of which mean “shadow.” Her name is likely related to the name “Scandinavia,” but whether Skadi lent her name to the land-mass or vice versa is uncertain.
  
  Skadi lives in the highest reaches of the mountains, where the snow never melts. She’s an avid huntress, and her bow, snowshoes, and skis are her most often-mentioned attributes.
  
  She was once married to the god Njord. However, their marriagewas a failure; Njord couldn’t stand the cold and dreariness of the mountains, and Skadi couldn’t stand the light and noise of Njord’s home by the seashore, so the two parted ways.
  
  The giants (or, to use a word that more properly translates their Old Norse name, the “devourers”) are predominantly forces of darkness, cold, and death. Skadi fits this pattern, and seems to have had particular associations with winter. Her status as a goddess by marriage, however, along with the frequency of her historical worship, seem to suggest that she has a more benevolent demeanor than most of her kin, perhaps in a capacity as a patroness of winter subsistence activities.
  
  
  
  Powers:
  
  • Cold Immunity- Immune to any forms of cold and its effects on the body, no matter how extreme
  • Mountain Animal Command- If the animal is a denizen of the mountains, he can command them. As of now, it only works on small non-predator animals. Higher levels make for deadlier animals
  • Snow Cloud Creation- He can make it snow in an area. Right now it's only around a person, but as it levels, it increases in both ferocity, area size, and can be turned into Hail
  • Ice Sculpting- He can generate Ice to form a certain shape. He's not good at the arts though, so really he's just forming ice cubes. As it levels and he gets smarter, he'll learn to make other things to include weaponry
  • Cold Breath- His breath is ice cold. It's effectively useless right now, but as it levels, it can develop into Frost Breath
•

  Deity's Name:
  Thoth
  
  Description of the Deity:
  The Egyptian God of Wisdom, Writing, Magic, and the Measurement of Time. Originally seen as the God of Moon, his role gradually change to that of a secretary and scribe to Ra, the God of the Sun and with Ma'at accompanied Ra on his nightly voyage across the sky.
  
  Thoth was inserted in many tales as the wise counselor and persuader, and his association with learning and measurement led him to be connected with Seshat, the earlier deification of wisdom, who was said to be his his wife. It is also considered that Thoth was the scribe of the gods rather than a messenger. Anpu was viewed as the messenger of the gods, as he travelled in and out of the Underworld and presented himself to the gods and to humans. It is more widely accepted that Thoth was a record keeper, not a divine messenger.
  
  Powers:
  
  • Fourth Dimensional Sense: Lilian instinctively knows the precise location she is in time to the last second. This sense is currently only similar to a magical digital clock that does not need electricity to use.
  • Magic Presence Sense: Another sense that opens up to her is the sense that detects magic. This sense, similar to vision and hearing, is blocked when there is an obstacle between Lilian and the source of magic.
  • Written Language Comprehension: Lilian is able to understand any written language as long as it is not written in code, hidden patterns, or anythin gthat distorts its meaning.
  • Guidance on Trail of Thought: A passive power that boost Lilian's decision-making skill and intelligence.
• Occupation:
  Librarian
  
  Affiliation:
  
  • Appaloosa Management: A stockbroker company Lilian trusts her funds in.
  • Xandria Library: A private library opened for public owned by an old architect. The books inside are all narrative in nature, such as fairy tales, children storybook, fiction novels, and tales of mythology. It has quite an impressive collection.
  Personality:
  When visiting a library, among all other visitors, there's bound to be a quiet visitor, sitting alone in the furthest corner fully immersed in her book. Lilian is one of those visitors. A soft-spoken person who has little presence. She has few friends, but she is content with it. She lives in her own world where silence is a friend she will always welcome with an open hand. She rarely feels compassion toward others albeit feels them strongly when she recognises them as her friends.Toward other people, as long as they keep to themselves, she will not intrude their space.
  
  And yet, behind the quaint black cat figure, stands a figure of determination and bravery. Lilian strongly believes in herself and has a strong spirit to reach her goals. Her ideals of life cannot be shaken by the jeering of society and people around her. She will not hesitate to take actions she believes to be right, ignoring the view of others. Moreover, she recognised how she appears to other people and uses it to pave her lifestyle. People expect her to be easily intimidated, and she plays along with that.
  
  Lilian faces problems she meet methodically with a calm mind. After carefully analysing the case, she would begin to tackle the problem little by little. Impromptu actions are not her way. She prefers to calculate the most likely way to succeed and proceed. Her keen observation helps her to reach her goal, but sometimes her thought interferes on what she's doing. When Lilian has to relies on her instinct instead of mind, she's a bit out of water.
  
  Backstory:
  When the only daughter of Kendrick White and Aoi White won the National Scientific Paper Competition, they naturally thought their daughter had talent in the world of science, specifically chemistry based on her paper on Degradation on Complex Carbon Compound. Perhaps Lilian did have the talent, but if she had, the talent would be one bud that never bloomed. Why? Because this once acclaimed genius in science exited her university with the title MLIS behind her name. Master of Library and Information Science.
  
  The job of a librarian suited Lilian well, despite what others might had thought of her. She loved reading, but she found being cooped in a lab to perform experiments not to her liking. Surrounded by books all day was to her liking. The library as an archive and as a source of information required order to manage. Lilian, with her methodical line of thinking, found the job not too difficult.
  
  While the job was comfortable, the income was nothing too impressive. As a method to save up for retirement and added to her fund, Lilian took a crash course on stock management, found a reliable broker, and joined the many numbers of investors in the sea of stock exchange. Of course, she rarely performed the trade herself and only had the bare minimum knowledge on the subject.
  
  A comfy job, a steady income. What could she wanted more?

Name: Juniper "June" Rhee
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Nationality: Korean/American

God Name: Morpheus
God Details: Morpheus is the Greek god of dreams, born from Hypnos, god of sleep, and Pasithea, goddess of rest. He gives people their dreams and can even communicate to people through them, like a dream messenger. He can also manipulate the content of people's dreams and can appear in them as any person he wishes. He is also known to give future-telling dreams. Morpheus and his brothers also all have wings, so he can fly as well.
Powers:

• Dream manipulation and sight: The ability to control the dreams of others. The lower-level version of this power only allows the user to give dreams, but they cannot control the content. At a higher level, the user can not only control the content of the dreams, but they can give waking dreams akin to hallucinations. This card also allows the user to see into people's dreams.
• Shape-shifting: The recipient of this card can perform minor shape-shifting when awake and can completely transform themselves if in a dream. There are restrictions, however -- they can only change themselves within the limits of still being a human. They cannot change into animals or inanimate objects. In waking life, only minor changes can be made (such as changing a hairstyle or slightly modifying one's facial structure. Enough to disguise the user, potentially, but not enough to completely turn into another person), and they require much attention and energy to keep up.
• Minor future vision: Morpheus sometimes gives oracle dreams, but how can this happen if one cannot see the future? This is a very limited power, and even at its highest levels the user can only see a few days into the future at most. They can get a general idea of what's going on, but details are fuzzy. Initially, though, they can only see the next few minutes.
• Sleep: The user has the ability to put others to sleep by touching them. The length of time that they can stay asleep depends on the level of the card.
• Flight: The user can fly! They can't fly too high or for a very long time, but for short periods or traveling short distances, it can be rather useful.
• Effects on the user: The proprietor of the Morpheus card will begin having strange dreams very frequently. They will also feel more tired and sleepy than usual.

Occupation: Graduate Student/Teaching Assistant

Personality: Juniper is generally a very relaxing person. Not relaxed -- she's actually rather high-strung -- but relaxing. She has a quality of making others feel calm and welcome, and while she's not exactly charming or flirty, she's great with people. She's the type of person where friends would come to her dorm when they were having a crisis and she'd be able to talk with them and soothe them. Seemingly, the only person she can't relax is herself! You'd be hard-pressed to find someone more simultaneously calming and anxious than Juniper. When alone, she's pretty much always scattered, never able to quite keep track of all of her responsibilities. Whether it's leaving her notebook on her desk or forgetting that she was supposed to hold office hours that day, she's always forgetting something. And she's so aware of this that she has a lot of anxiety about what she's going to screw up next -- but this tends to make things worse for her. She gets a kind of tunnel vision, stressing so much about what the most important thing coming up is that anything less crucial can kind of fall by the wayside. However, despite this frazzled interior, she always projects a calm persona -- fake it 'til you make it, right?

Backstory: Juniper was born in a suburb of San Francisco, CA to two Korean immigrant parents. Her mother, Jang-Mi, was a stay-at-home mom, while her father, Ki-Nam, worked long hours in a nearby factory. They were a very happy family for a while, but things became harder when Juniper was three years old and her brother, Theodore, came along. Theodore was a sickly child, and was born with a congenital heart defect. This was amended through several surgeries, but the medical bills started piling up and their serene home life became a lot more difficult. Ki-Nam and Jang-Mi began to fight constantly about money. Actually, a fight would imply that both parties were participating, but it was more Ki-Nam screaming at Jang-Mi until he tired himself out. Juniper grew scared of her father, and would never stand up to him, so she did the only thing she could: calm her mother down afterwards. They'd talk, maybe play a small game or bake or do some other activity to take her mind off of her troubles for a while, and that seemed to help a lot. She learned from a young age that she had to push her problems down and never show that she was struggling, because she had to be strong for her mom. Her parents never divorced or separated, so she had to deal with this basically up until she left for college.

Upon beginning school, Juniper was concentrated on being a good student. She didn't want to cause any problems for her parents, so she strove to be independent and a hard worker. She wasn't number one student or anything, but certainly up there. She surrounded herself with a small, studious group of friends and they all did their schoolwork together and sometimes did more fun things on weekends. She became enamored with politics in high school, and began contemplating studying that in the future. She qualified for a scholarship to a nearby prestigious college, UC Berkeley, and lost contact with these friends upon leaving. This was sad, but some friendships really hinge on proximity, and when she moved away to school, it just became too hard to keep in touch. However, she still called her mom almost every day to make sure she was doing alright. In her undergraduate years, Juniper decided to major in political science, with a minor in public policy. She is currently working on her masters in polisci and also is a (paid!) graduate teaching assistant for several classes. She has one very good friend that she sees frequently, another graduate student named Mia Blackwell, and several friendly acquaintances. She is overall pretty pleased with the state of her life at the moment -- unfortunately, it seems like something is about to disrupt it...

Name: Noemi Espejo
Age: 19
Gender: Nonbinary (she/her or they/them)
Sexuality: Pansexual
Nationality: South Mexico
Image/Description: Noemi is insanely small. For starters, she's only 4'11, barely taller than some people several years younger than her. Even the average high school boy could most likely dwarf her in an instant. Not only that, but she's remarkably thin, clocking in at about 99 pounds. In spite of that fact, her body is mostly pudge, and she has an especially round face with soft cheeks and a slightly dimpled chin. Her eyes are brown, and always behind a pair of blue, rectangular glasses. Her skin tone is a relatively light sandy tone much paler than most people of her race. Her hair is black, shaved into a sort of mohawk that hangs leftwards over one eye. The tips of her hair are colored a very dark blue-green color. She's also rarely seen without a beanie covering the back of her head, usually an average purple or pink one. She has a metal septum piercing, three ear piercings in each ear (lobe, daith and orbital on both sides.) Her eyebrows are shaved and usually drawn in. She also wears a deep purple, green or black lipstick almost every day. Her teeth are normal, albeit with a wide gap between the front two.

Moving downwards, her chest is small for her age, to the point that she often doesn't need to wear a bra. Her neck is thin with noticeable muscles and collarbones, and she has small shoulders. Her arms are proportioned normally to her body, and dusted with freckles that can also be seen on her face. Her stomach sort of hangs outward, mostly when she hunches over, which is always. Her thighs are skinny, and feet small. She rarely ever shaves her legs or armpits.

Coming around to clothing, Noemi always wears as many layers as feasible considering the weather. She hates shorts and will never be seen wearing them. Most commonly, her get-up involves a scarf, a weighty jacket, sweatpants and sneakers. This type of baggy clothing makes her body look much bigger than it actually is. She also owns a wide array of hoodies that she likes to hide inside of when people start talking to her. She cannot stand the texture of blue jeans, and seemingly wears only sweats and yoga pants. She owns a few dresses, but will rarely ever be seen in them.

God Name: Xolotl
God Details:
View attachment 565699

Xolotl is associated with many things. He is the twin brother of Quetzalcoatl and son of the virgin Coatlicue, who created the moon, sun and stars according to Aztec myth. His job was to lead souls into the underworld, as well as protect the sun during the nights, where it goes through the underworld. Most often, Xolotl is depicted as a strange-looking dog bearing the wind jewel and ear ornaments. He had many god titles, and was god of fire, lightning, twins, monsters, misfortune, sickness and deformity. He is often followed by dogs.

Powers:

• Dogspeak: The ability to communicate with dogs. Also is just constantly followed around by them.
• Electricity: Electric power courses through the user's body, dormant until summoned for use in the form of lightning. Can also be converted into flames through a complicated internal form-changing process.
• Touch of Death: So long as the user is touching the opponent for a period of time, disease spreads through that area of the body from the point of contact. This can cause death, but is quickly reversed by simply removing the user's hand from your body. It's also difficult to control, meaning oftentimes accidentally giving your good friends a three-second plague.
• Vermin Friendship: Along with dogs, a user of the Xolotl card also has dominion over "vermin" species and parasites, AKA our modern-day monstrosities. This includes but is not limited to rats, ticks, termites, wasps, pigeons, roaches, and botflies. They can communicate to some extent and will follow the user relentlessly.
• Bad Luck: More of a weakness than a power, users of the Xolotl card are almost always stricken with poor luck. This can be anything from getting pooped on by a bird to crashing a car.
• Preference: The Xolotl card is most compatible with people who are deformed, sick, or disabled. Not really a power, more of just a tidbit.
• Twin Brother: If the carrier of the Xolotl card were to meet the carrier of the Quetzalcoatl card, their powers combined could create an incomprehensible level of energy. It's unknown what exactly will happen, but it'll be terrifying, no doubt.

Occupation: Art school
Groups:

• Sherwood Art Academy: The local art school. Relatively small, but still difficult to get into due to high standards.
• Purrfect Paws Rescue: Noemi calls it her "side hustle". She works with socializing dogs due to having owned several shelter dogs in the past, as well as cats. (Though not as often).

Personality: Noemi is a gruff and often harsh person. Most people find her difficult to get along with, as she often reads as judgemental, pretentious, antisocial, or just really fucking mean. Which is kind of true. Noemi has no intention of being mean. She's extremely genuine, absolutely to a fault. If you look like shit, she will tell you that. She has next to no filter and doesn't often display much emotion. Which isn't to say she's a bad person, she sincerely has no idea she comes off this way to people. It's difficult to tell whether she likes you or not, since she's extremely antisocial and will never ask to hang out with you first.

She does have an extreme soft spot for animals, especially rodents and dogs. She keeps two pet rats who she dotes on almost to an extreme degree. She's also deeply passionate about cartoons (especially anime) and tabletop roleplaying games. However, in her free time she prefers to be completely alone, with only her rats as company. Her sense of humor is particularly dry and bleak, to the point where it's difficult to tell whether she's being sarcastic or serious.

In spite of her many faults, Noemi is a very loyal friend, with her greatest shortcoming being an inability to show affection. She will always give people the straightforward truth, even if it hurts a little bit. She's emotionally difficult, but arguably, worth it in the end.

Backstory: Noemi was the daughter of a prostitute, one of two twins. The son was taken into police custody and never heard from again. The decision of who would be saddled with Noemi was difficult, but she found her way into the hands of her birth father. The man was a rampant alcoholic, and often neglectful of his daughter. Due to a poor police force in her area, this wasn't dealt with for a long time. She was severely malnourished and had a fair amount of trouble in the growth and development department. Her skin got dry, she developed anemia and diabetes, and she never grew any taller than 4'11.

When she was 11, she was found alone in her home. The house was filthy, and she clearly hadn't eaten in awhile. Her father was already under fire for carrying more than the legal amount of cocaine. (Which is 500g in Mexico as of 2009.) Now he was quickly locked up for child neglect. Upon evaluating Noemi, it was discovered she had a severe iron deficiency, and her insulin levels were dangerously low. What's more, she had trouble reading. (Though could speak fluently.) Whilst trying to decide what to do with Noemi, her mother suddenly re-appeared, now working a stable job. They quickly moved to the states as soon as the legal issues were worked out. All of the court drama took about a year, leaving Noemi at about 12.

It was then that Noemi very slowly began to rebuild her life, though she could never truly be normal. Making friends came with the fear that they might leave, and she still suffers from PTSD due to her early-life experiences. Integrating her into society was difficult, but she managed to reach an adequate level about three years later. During this time, Noemi was finally able to explore something she never had before -- hobbies.

In her home in Mexico, there was little to do with herself. However, now she was living in a surprisingly cushy environment, in spite of her mother's more-than-humble beginnings. But she very quickly took to art, as it allowed her to express her emotions visually in ways that she couldn't verbally. Despite years of therapy, she still couldn't manage to discuss her trauma, but boy could she ever paint it. She became an art fanatic, loving all mediums from cartooning to painting to sculpting. During these years she discovered all sorts of new interests, things that she could finally latch onto. One complicated graduation later, and she was off to art school.

She had no interest in the social aspects of college, and alienated herself from her peers. She was purely here to learn, and learn she would. Noemi managed to work out an agreement with a classmate, and the two rent an apartment together, so long as he stays on "his side of the house", which is marked clearly in tape on the floor.
