[WitworthGold]

Name:
Winifred Edwina Murray
Age:
25
Race:
Witch
Familiar:
Scottish Wildcat Bartholomew

Spoiler

Specific Skills:
Winifred possesses the powers of Telekinesis, Pyromancy (pyrokinesis), and Green Magic (chlorokinesis). The former of the two are the more highly developed of the three enabling her to manipulate and create both movement and flame in varying quantities and levels of precision. Her chlorokinetic powers are much more reactive and subtle, allowing her moods and temperament to impact the growth rate, quality, and overall usefulness of the affected plant life and vegetation. Due in part to her affinity for Green Magic she has increased skill at crafting potions.
Coven:
Background:
Fred is no stranger to loss. She lost her parents and childhood home in a sickly green blaze that she can scarcely remember before being sent off to live with her maternal aunt Savannah. It was under her wing that Fred first began developing her magic and taking steps down the path toward becoming a witch. For a time she was happy, some of her fondest memories were of her summers spent tending her aunt's magic shop and the myriad of people that came though looking for little trinkets and charms, the vast majority of them possessing not one inkling that there was actual magic in the world let alone in the cozy lavender scented shop that they had wandered into. Sadly as with most all good things in her life they never last. Maybe it was Savannah's magic that kept Fred blind to the obvious changes, like the gradual weight loss, the longer periods of rest, and the stronger concoctions that she brewed and imbibed with increasing frequency. But before the end of her summer spent overseas Savannah was gone, having succumbed to a decade long battle with cancer. Once again alone she has packed up her life and even the store and relocated to Woodhurst in the hopes of building a new life away from the pain's of her past.​

 

[taliaangeni]

Age: 24
Race: Witch
Familiar: Black gerbil, Jimmy
Specific Skills: Telekinesis, Cloaking, not yet claimed a third.
Coven: Willow Coven
Background: Clara grew up like everyone else, with a mother, father, and a sister and brother. And like some people, her father found another family to be with. Her mother, Arya, sold potions to get by. Because her family was known to be creepy, didn't help that her brother loved pushing the creep factor, they got egged and TP'd weekly. Now, in the present, Clara helps her mother with the potions. Arya keeps pushing Clara to learn another power but she hasn't felt one call to her yet.

 

[Trine]

Name: Kiera Starr
Age: 17
Race: Human Witch (Mother was a human, father was a warlock who gave up on the arts)
Familiar: Stalker the Raven
Specific Skills: Enchantment & Pain Infliction
Coven: (We can decide this at a later time.)
Background:
Before Kiera arrived in Woodhurst, she was living under a shadow of negative energy. Her parents were rarely around, due to business reasons, so they arranged that her aunt take care of her. Kiera's aunt was a strange lady, who always brewed unknown concoctions for Kiera to drink. On Kiera's fifteenth birthday, her aunt gifted her a pendant, and told her to go to her house in Woodhurst if anything bad ever happened.
Kiera started to wear the pendant every day. She was given odd glances, since the pendant seemed otherworldly and unnatural. However, she felt like it gave her good luck. It made her feel energized.
Then the "Accident" happened. Kiera didn't remember what happened, only the screams. She woke up in a hospital bed a few days later, and was told that authorities had concluded that there was a mass panic attack that had left several people unconscious. Her pendant had shattered. Kiera's father sent her to live in Woodhurst after the "Accident", after making her swear never to tell anyone what happened. She is now settling down in her new home in Woodhurst, with the hopes of figuring out one day, what exactly happened that night.

 

[spooksspook]

Name:
Clyde William Barcroft
Age:
26 y/o
Race:
Warlock
Familiar:

Spoiler

A stray cat he feeds; Tortoiseshell maybe? He calls it Muriel, and it likes to keep him company at home.

Specific Skills:
Glamour; Possibly Clyde's most developed magical skill. It is his "go-to" in a sticky situation and comes in handy the most for him on the job. Extremely skilled in this art, and is able to create large-scale illusions with some concentration.

Mind Stunning; Simply what it's description entails- he can put any being in an unconscious state. Though it is harder when the target is a mage of sorts, he still has accomplished this on several occasions.

Conjuration: The weakest of the 3 skills Clyde has picked up over the years, but even still a valuable asset. He normally doesn't use it for anything more than to put a few dollars in his pocket or mix up a drink for someone, but in dire situations can conjure anything up to around a microwave in size.
Coven:
n/a
Background:
Clyde has not lived the "average" life of a warlock, his magic coming about suddenly and without the provocation of any genetics or outside source. He simply acquired them one day, and it is still a large mystery as to how he did so. Having to learn most of his tricks through trial and error, he found himself having a pretty eventful childhood. Nothing too scary, a few arrests, a house being burnt down, things of the sort. He wasn't exactly the epitome of a "good kid".
He graduated high school, with of course some help from his skills along the way, and went straight into being a waiter at the local grill. This escalated over the years, and he now works as a full-time bartender at the same establishment. His magic is only put to use in the domestic ways one would expect of a young adult with nothing else to do with his time; creating new drinks, putting some cash in his pockets, fooling with customers, etc. He simply waits about in his average life, waiting for something to entertain himself.

 

[taliaangeni]

Name: Ellery Albescu
Age: 45 when she cast the immortality spell.
Race: Witch
Familiar: Crow
Specific Skills: Immortality, Power Bestowal, Telekinesis, Conjuration
Coven: Dragos Coven
Background: Not much is known about Ellery. She has a cottage in the woods but almost always is not there.

*Ellery is an NPC. She will be my way of gifting powers to people and maybe creating some interesting storylines.*

 

[Shagranoz]

Maggie Blackwell



Age: 18

Race: warlock- broker

Familiar: None as of now

Powers: Conjuration- Maggie isn't good at creating physical objects, but she excels at calling up spirits and other such beings, especially demons

Maggie has yet to look for a second power, but it will probably be spiritual awareness

Bio: If one was to describe the first seventeen years of Maggie's existence, the word they'd choose would probably be "miserable". A pair of parents who were distant at best, and the constant victim of teenage bullying, left her looking for anyone who would answer. At first, she went through a deep religious phase, but God didn't send her any signs, so when Heaven failed her, she turned to Hell. Now, demons contact her in her dreams, telling her that soon, their prisons will open. With every demon she will summon, her power and confidence will grow, and she will starting looking forward to taking revenge upon her tormentors.

 

[taliaangeni]

Name: Byron Dupree
Age: 19
Race: Witch
Familiar: Black Mamba - snake, Charlie
Specific Skills: Pyrokinesis, Clairvoyance
Coven: Willow Coven
Background: His mother is Arya, and sisters are Clara and Marie. His mother was odd and named them after things she loved: Clara from The Nutcracker, Byron for Lord Byron, and Marie for Marie Curie. When his dad left, Byron became the metaphorical man of the house. Although he was hardly around, Byron much rathered learning his magic not from family but with friends. Fire got him into too much trouble but he loved it. Clairvoyance helped him pass school with great grades. His room is full of snakes, his familiar is even a snake. He doesn't take shit from the people who cover his house in eggs and toilet paper. He's started fires in a few of the culprits houses but was warned by his mother to stop.

 

[Arael]

Name: Micha Ravenwood
Age: 26
Race: Witch
Familiar:

Spoiler: Mercy

Brown Border Collie named Mercy who is always by his side if not, she is never too far behind. She is also used as a scrying tool for his craft.

Specific Skills: Scrying, Atmokinesis, and Clairvoyance.
Coven: N/A
Background: Micha was born into a family of witches and warlocks which was mainly divided down the middle with their own conflict of tradition and how the children should be taught. One side supporting the idea of letting them find their own path while the other wanted them to become broker's and work with demonic forces. And with Micha being the last full blooded witch born into the Ravenwood family he was often exposed to many different practices and beliefs, his mother who was rather traditional decided to break things off with his father in the end and raised Micha with her family but his father continually pressed the idea of being in his son's life.

Growing up in the craft wasn't easy but Micha made it work and became well rounded and adapted well to the ever changing lifestyle, meeting and helping others as he saw fit not when they asked for it. ​

 

[Azerothii]

Name:
Alyssa Hyde
Age:
9
Race:
Human
Familiar:
A Black butterfly

Spoiler: Picture

Specific Skills:
Fear Manipulation
Clearly Alyssa was not aware that she has a skill of her own, but she unconsciously possess an aura of danger and intimidation due to her power.
Coven:
(N/A)
Background:
Alyssa was born from a human criminal and a black witch who was criticized for causing the death of numerous victims from where they live. Her early days weren't as magical as she expect from fairy tales, rather it was more violent and depressing. Physical abuse was all she could receive instead of love due to the fact that she possess almost no powers at all as told by her mother. It also didn't help when no one in her town wanted to play with her or help her. She was also forced to help her father as an accomplice during his crimes.

Her parents have always fought and despised each other for years until her father finally had enough and killed her mother, enraged and influenced with malice- he chased the child out of town until she ended up in the forest and hides. The father searched for her everywhere till midnight and left.

Abandoned and hurt, the child left weeping as she slowly walked away to travel and find a place where she would be accepted and loved. Until she stumbled upon the town of Woodhurst.

 

[Cadenach]

Name: Orson MacLaer
Age: 87
Race: Human Warlock
Familiar: An old Wolfhound named Cullen.
Specific Skills: Illusion, Wardings, and Herbalism.
Coven: Was once a member of a Warlock Circle that wanted to rediscover the lost magic of the Druids.
Background: Orson discovered his talent for magic during his college days.
He joined a group of similarly talented individuals, who wanted to rediscover lost magic.
There are more things in the worlds than angels and demons.
They succeeded, partially. They managed to summon a Fey.
Beings that exist in the dreamworlds between light and darkness.
After striking a deal with this being, Orson was horrified to discover that the nature of the deal allowed his body to become possessed.
They Fey had actually been manipulating Orson his whole life, leading him to this point. Unlike Angelic spirits and Demons, Fey have a much harder time possessing a body.
They need a pre-existing connection to their host. As it turned out, this Fey, Mannanan Mac Lir, was one of Orson's distant ancestors.
They have been together so long now, that their souls have practically merged together.
Mannanan keeps Orson young provides him with knowledge, while Orson allows Mannanan to experience the world through him.
These days, Orson just keeps to himself for the most part, living in a cozy shack in the woods back behind the community center.
He helps out around town and is considered a rustic, mysteriously charming, distant, and down-to-earth man by the people of Woodhurst.
None living know his secret, and he prefers to keep it that way.
His experiences have also left him with a soft spot for young witches and warlocks that find themselves overwhelmed by the forces they encounter and sometimes goes out of his way to offer advice or aid to them.​
