Coal Collins
"Jazz man of Vulpina"

A Musician, Coal's an entertainer for the ladies and gents who grace the carpet of Vulpina coffee shop.

Drawing in the early morning joggers with the tickling of the ivory keys of his board, or bringing in the busy college students who like to study or lounge about bathed in the soothing hum of his violin, his favorite are the nights where his boys Mizi and Calloway bring in the saxophone and guitar, then off they go laying some of that sweet soft jazz on the cozy night scene.

  "Whoa, down boy!" said Coal, pushing a half-bitten chair against the slobbering maw of his werewolf charge, before he shut the steel door of his room shut. He leaned on the door, panting breathlessly as the werewolf rammed on the other side. Click, went the lock.
  
  Shing, slam, cha-chuk, wuk, went the rest of the bolted locks.
  
  "I swear, full moons are worse than Mondays." he said to his assistant who was holding a fire hose. "It's the day my coffee will need a coffee."
  
  "Werewolves are never a walk in the park, sir."
  
  Coal snorted, imagining walking a werewolf in the park in the afternoon. "Actually, why not?" he said, looking as though he suddenly had a grand idea.
  
  "Er."
  
  "Come, my assistant!" he grabbed the fire hose suddenly, "let us take Josh for a walk!" he opened the door. "Josh!" The werewolf snarled and slobbered in response.

  Personality:
  
  Coal's a cool, easy going uncle who loves the 1940's jazz culture. It shows in his clothes and his jive talk, sliding up to the bar and going, "Hey Mezzie, lay some of that hard-cuttin' mess on me. I'm short of a deuce of blips but I'll straighten you later." Most people don't know what he's talking about, but he just winks and smiles.
  
  He loves expressing himself through music, and sometimes closes his eyes when he plays, tuning out the world, and just submerging himself in a song. He gets annoyed when he's disturbed, though it's all a pleasant poker face when it's a customer doing it. He's cordial during arguments, but when someone just won't drop it, he'd sometimes revert to jive talk until they get annoyed for not understanding.
  
  He devotes a lot of time practicing the violin and singing, working hard for the upcoming summer jam where he, Mizi, and Calloway are hoping to land a music contract with the Brusk Lance Company. He eats a spoonful of honey before sleeping to take care of his voice, and would sing or hum while working, breaking into a jig in the kitchens and moonwalking to guests with their coffee to amuse them.
  
  In Niva, he's an anger management therapist who uses his words and music to soothe his charges, and sometimes just lets them rage and express themselves. He's got a "Plate Room" where people can go and smash plates or break things when they're angry, and would often enlist them in demolition jobs to destroy buildings and take apart cars --- because sometimes all one needs to feel better is to just let it all out.
  
  He loves rainy days and would usually be found sitting outside and enjoying a smoke with his feet touching the water, having a casual conversation with someone. He's candid, with a jokey sense of humor and often his conversation topics revolve around his charges, music, and food.

  Biography:
  
  Coal's love of music stemmed from his parents who take up dancing as a hobby. Bringing him over to the studio where they had dance lessons when he was a kid, he'd boogie on his chair too while the jazz music was playing. He got hooked to the piano after he started playing video games and trying to play the music in their school's music room by ear. He was encouraged by his teachers, and his parents, noticing his interest, got him a tutor for piano lessons every summer.
  
  The Collins lived on the beach, and every now and then his parents would take him out fishing out in the ocean where his father would turn into an orca and swim around with his mother. Mr. and Mrs. Collins met at sea, he's a marine biologist who studies whales and dolphins, and she's a photographer. It was on a film shoot when a director and his crew from Natural Geographic were following Orcas with Mr. Collin as a guide and teacher that she accidentally discovered his true nature, but agreed to keep it a secret.
  
  But she was fascinated with this whole world of the supernatural, believing it to be myth and nonsense all this time, until now. They kept seeing each other, and after some time, their friendship turned to love.
  
  Mr. Collin was half-Akhlut, and he passed down the genes to his son, Coal, who started to show signs that he wasn't human at the age of ten. It was difficult for Coal controlling his hunger --- he had a really big appetite and would become violent if he was hungry. Mr. and Mrs. Collins knew this would happen if their son took to his father, but despite their precautions Coal was bullied a lot in school because he stole people's lunches and got into fights for food. It was like he was hungry all the time.
  
  He was lonely and that made him depressed, and being depressed made him angry. But people kept away from him when he was angry, so he bottled it up, which made it worse. Their family often moved from place to place because Coal's outburst of rage would prompt him into his giant wolf form. That was when he came to Niva when he was sixteen, and they straightened him up, helped him control his rage, let it out healthily, and overcome his uncontrollable transformations whenever he was very hungry or upset.
  
  Though his parents encouraged his love for music, they told him to have a back up plan and so he decided to take up psychology, as he really looked up to the person who helped him and felt like doing the same and helping kids with anger problems too.
  
  He graduated with a degree in Psychology and had his internship in Niva. He hasn't been able to break into the music industry yet, but he still keeps on auditioning, practicing and learning with the hope that all the hard work will pay off on the Summer Jam.

  Interview:
  1. What brought you to Lecanora?
  

  Coal rubbed the back of his jaw, pondering as he sat with his chair facing back, his arms resting on the top rail. "Niva. Came here when I was sixteen with some anger issues and they straightened me out. I wanted to work here helping kids who had similar problems as me when I was a kid, so I had my internship here on my fourth year studying Psychology, and after graduating and getting some experience out there, I'm back." he smiled.
  ​

  2. Do you have any idea why you have to attend Niva?
  

  Coal chuckled. "I work here."
  ​

  3.Would you become completely human if you had the chance?
  

  "Mmmmm." he hummed, biting his lower lip, "Nah, I love the ocean, I love being able to turn into an orca, having my vacations in Antartica hunting seal, being able to travel across waters without paying, and just exploring the deep.".​

The Akhlut
In Inuit mythology, an Akhlut is a hungry orca spirit that takes the form of a gigantic wolf or a wolf-orca hybrid to hunt on land.

These spirits belong in the big blue ocean, and it is often difficult to stay away from the waters for long --- though showering in sea water helps.

When hungry an Akhlut becomes vicious, and the hungrier the more dangerous. What was human is cast aside until the Akhlut eats at least sixty kilograms of meat.

Big wolf tracks leading to and from the ocean could mean that one has passes through.

Coal has four forms: human, orca, giant wolf, and wolf-orca hybrid. He can understand dogs, wolves, orcas and dolphins.

Giant Wolf Form:

• 
  
  
  • As large as an orca
  • Weighs 5,400 kg
  • Strength of four bears
  • Can hold breath for two hours

Wolf-Orca form

• 
  
  
  • Size of an ordinary wolf, but with an orca fin and tail, which helps with swimming.
  • Can hold breath for two hours

Nickname: AJ
Age: Nineteen
Gender: Female
Orientation: Homosexual/Homoromantic
Role: Recurring Member
Hybrid Type: Navajo Skinwalker
Hybrid information:
Navajo Skinwalkers are creatures that are able to take the shape of any animal they choose. Shifting into an animal is incredibly painful for a skinwalker who does not know what they're doing, and gradually gets easier the more a skinwalker practices. The Skinwalker usually has a certain form that they prefer, and on full moons they are forced to change into that form.

AJ's reluctance to shift has caused the process to become more painful. The shift can come at random for her because she does not know how to fully control her powers, and often happens when she feels a strong emotion, like anger or love.

Hybrid Type:
Dream Seelie: A Seelie hybrid is a person born with powers connected to the Earth, a person who can feel the earth. A Dream Seelie in particular is connected to their magic through their dreams, and more importantly; their nightmares and visions. They practice lucid dreaming, and work with spells and tomes and recipes. The one feature that tells a hybrid apart from a a regular human is their slightly pointed ears. When they have visions, they're eyes turn milky white and they may even experience a nose bleed depending on the potency of the vision. This is their human half reacting to the Seelie magic. Visions happen when a Seelie sort of 'picks up a signal' and sees into the mind of another person's dreams. Some Dream Seelie are less tuned in, and don't receive as many visions.

Personality:
gentle, wise, strong, intuitive, careful
distant, tired, sad, slow, bored

From the moment you lay eyes on Iris, you can almost feel the calmness emitting from her. Everything about her is laid back, detached almost. For some people, this is a great thing. Someone who never put their own opinion in is great to vent to. However, not everyone can lead their own conversations, and so some people may find Iris ignorant or blank. Iris is mostly quiet, especially with new people. She doesn't talk unless she absolutely has to, and so people often think that she's distant or doesn't want to even be messed with. Yet, Iris is a very gentle person with a heart that desires only to live fully, and she does that by doing small things. Giving her last ten dollars to a homeless man. Giving an old lady a hand with her things. Adopting a dog. She has a deep urge to fill the world with good, but she needs no thanks or the things she does.

Iris is very much in her head, and gives off very little body language. Though her far away stare might appear lazy or idle, Iris is always switched on and fully aware of her environment. She is brilliant and finding ways around difficult situations, and she can always come up with a solution to something. She is good at working with limited resources, and she can always make sure that everyone is happy. Iris doesn't give away much of herself, mostly because she is a cautious person. She doesn't want people to fall into the mess of her life, and she doesn't want to fall into the sadness of others. Although Iris loves to help people in the short term, long term problems are not her forte, yet she doesn't like to see people upset and she'll always try her best to help.

For someone who's life consists of making coffee and then going home to read magical tea leaves, Iris gets very bored, very easily. She seeks a little bit of fun. Simple fun, not drinking or smoking. She wants to watch the sunset, or skip through a field or read a life changing book. Sometimes she just wants to see more of the world. The only aggressive trait in Iris' body is that she resents structure of the world. The fact that there can be people living in mansions and then homeless people outside sickens her. It angers her that she can do nothing significant, and if there's one thing that Iris hates, its the feeling of being helpless.

Biography:
Iris was born in Ireland, in Londonderry. Her Father, who had previously lived as a gypsy, split from his culture when his brother married the girl he loved. As a trick to lure him back, his family sent a beautiful seelie after him, to bring him back, to make him remember his old life. Eowan did fall in love with the Seelie, Lulha, but his world had changed. His eyes were opened to magic, and he didn't want to go back to his boring family. Lulha fell in love with Eowan herself, and vowed to protect her love from his family.

For years, they lived safely, Lulha showing Eowan the ways of her people. After three years, they thought it was safe to settle down, and luckily in time, as Lulha became pregnant. From a young age, Iris was taught by her mother the importance of controlling her powers, but the magic in her was strong and caused her to have a sort of seizure. She was constantly in pain with all the visions clouding up her head.

The second that Iris turned 7, everything went suddenly bad. Eowan's family caught up with them and killed Lulha. They said she was a filthy magical and they shouldn't have trusted her. They refused to spill their own blood and spared Iris, but they warned Eowan that he would have to leave Ireland and denounce his name and bond. He would have nothing, no money or family or friends. He agreed. Anything was better than being with them.

Eowan took Iris to America, to Iowa. He remarried, a human woman, if not to bring normality back to his life. He had another child, Molly, and Iris loved her so much. And yet, she did not feel at home. She had to learn to control the painful visions herself, visions which seemed to rip through her mind and destroy her. Of death and murder and darkness. When Iris was 17, she moved to a place that she had stumbled upon on the internet, a supernatural town; Lacanora. She vaguely remembered her wise words; "Be humble, be kind, and be honest. But do not be brave."

What brought you to Lecanora?
"Lecanora gave me hope that I might be alone to gather who I am. To be among those who understand me. Those who are like me. I needed to learn, and Lecanora seemed like as good a place as any."

Do you have any idea why you have to attend Niva?
"I can only speculate. The others who attend or undeniably supernatural. I assume its due to some enchantment that means we are drawn there."

Would you become completely human if you had the chance?
"The thought of stopping the pain that visions bring me is enchanting, but the pain is me. It's taught me to be me. I couldn't be human. I wouldn't last."

• A Few Words From Monty

• 
  
  
  Name: Montgomery (Monty) Tremblay
  Sex: Female
  Gender: Nonbinary
  Age: 16
  Species: Harpy Hybrid
  Role: New Member
  Orientation: Panromantic and Pansexual
  Theme Song:
  The Offspring - You're Gonna Go Far, Kid or SHINee - Married to the Music
  
  Personality: Monty is a very volatile person. They dislike socializing and enjoy eating salty and sweet foods more than anything, plus they run a feminist meme page and enjoy playing their DS. Tarot cards are their main collection because they love the art. They hang out in parks in the dusk and pet all of the cats they see when they walk through the streets. They constantly lie to evade unfavorable situations and are always armed with sharp words.​
• 
  Montgomery never met their father. They spent all of their life with their mother, living in a small condo on the outside of the city. The two had moved to the condo after an issue in their old town. They attended advanced education programs at school for the majority of their childhood. Their mom was relieved when Monty didn't show any signs of being a supernatural as a child, but it instead started showing in their early teens. Monty showed very subtle signs, like their ears not being affected from pressure due to elevation and little feathers occasionally popping up on their arms or back. They haven't had a large burst out of their supernatural nature yet, but their mother is preparing for it. They had gone together to the coffee shop numerous times, and Monty had noticed their mom talking to odd people there a lot about them. Monty's mom hasn't told them about their supernatural side yet. The mother is not where the harpy part comes from.
  
• 
  Harpies are creatures from Greek mythology. They are described as large birds with a woman's face and torso. They traditionally carried bad people to be punished by Erinyes. They were also described as the personification of destructive winds. They are not inherently bad, but they would fall into the true neutral section of life. They have wings instead of arms and fancy bird feet in place of human feet.
  
• 
  What brought you to Lecanora?
  "Well... Something really bad happened in our old town and we moved here. I was really young when it happened."
  
  Do you have any idea why you have to attend Niva?
  "Not really. I mean, my mom told me it's where special people go. I'm assuming it's another advanced education program of sorts. Hopefully it's a medical herb course or something!"
  
  Would you become completely human if you had the chance?
  "Completely human? I mean, sure. People tell me I'm an alien compared to everyone else, but I like being different."
