death
atwentyyear old forensic science and criminology student. goes byshe/herpronouns. ascorpio. she is no stranger toloss and grief. it follows her everywhere she goes; she and death have anintimate, uncannyconnection.
visage
build
standing at around 5'5" (165 cm) and 55kg (121 lbs), dani has a slender, but toned build as a result of training [too much]. she often over-exercises, desperate to achieve (her mother's idea of) "perfection".
facial features
danica's deep brown eyes are large and almond-shaped, framed by delicate lashes. she has well-groomed, naturally thick eyebrows that add definition to her features. her complexion is somewhat fair with a healthy glow. high cheekbones and full lips enhance the elegance of her appearance.
body mods
no tattoos, despite how much she wants them, but she has many piercings in both ears. there are a plethora of scars littering her body- the majority of them a result of her dates with death.

persona
virtues - hardworking, observant, resilient, clever, trustworthy
vices - perfectionist, disconnected, distrusting, jealous, cynical, possessive
danica is marked by both strength and struggle. her dedication and hardworking nature is evident in everything she does, driven by an unrelenting desire to excel. she's highly observant, catching details others may overlook, and her clever mind enables her to find resourceful solutions to problems. despite her burdens, danica's resilience keeps her moving forward, and those who know her well recognize her as a trustworthy, steadfast individual.
however, danica's virtues are tempered by her vices. her perfectionism often pushes her past healthy limits, leaving her disconnected and emotionally distant. her past experiences have made her distrustful, and she is always wary of others' intentions, while jealousy can creep in as she compares herself to those around her. her view of the world is tinted heavily by cynicism, expecting the worst and guarding herself against disappointment.
likes
dungeons and dragons. ever the lover of fantasy, dnd offered danica an escape that few other things did. it allowed her to be an entirely different person, to get lost in an amazing world entirely disconnected from the real one. it was easier than facing her horrifying reality.
reading. much like dnd, reading allows her a means of escaping the real world. it lets her dive into different stories and view things from other's perspectives. it's one of her favourite pastimes.
animals. what's there to say? she's always loved creatures and preferred them over the company of people. they never took anything from her.
death. danica's fascination with death and things related to it started when she was very, very young and has persisted into adulthood. it's something she's always been interested in learning about and understanding. with how many times she has almost died, it's only natural she would want to know all about it. her connection with death is as uncanny as it is terrifying- not to dani, but to those around her.
dislikes
sweets, candy, etc. she's never been particularly fond of anything sweet- not because she thinks they taste bad, but because her mother drilled it into her from a young age that sweets are horrible, and faced punishment for even asking about them. danica has never actually eaten any baked goods/sweets/candies, etc.
herself. she'll never be good enough.
sharing. she's extremely protective over her possessions, hating the very idea of anyone else being able to look at them. growing up she never had anything for herself- her body wasn't even her own; at least, it never felt that way. as a result, danica hates the idea of sharing anything with anyone.
affection. danica had to fight for the smallest bit of affection from people in her life. she was treated as less than since she was born and if she wanted love, she had to work for it tirelessly. to her, when anyone shows her even a crumb of affection that means they want something from her.
strengths & weaknesses
(+) physical strength, cat-like reflexes (black cat aura fr), high constitution and endurance
(-) low pain tolerance, paranoid, obsessive

Rory has long, wavy black hair that she often wears loose or with a bow, occasionally opting for a tied-up look with a few strands out at the front. She has fair skin that is enviously smooth and acne-free; her skin care routine is no joke. She has thin eyebrows above piercing, almond-shaped green eyes which she usually adorns with a bit of winged eyeliner to make her look intimidating. She has a straight nose and a bit of a resting bitch face (she's not actually super mean, she just looks somewhat intimidating--or as intimidating as one can when you're 5' 5"). She has a thin build that hides her lean muscles from her hours spent practicing ballet and walks with a dancer's grace. She often dresses like a character from Gossip Girl if it were darker and slightly more modern, absolutely giving dark academia every day of the week. She has three lobe piercings on each ear and a small tattoo of a butterfly on her hip.

psyche.
As the acting leader of the Amithis Society, Rory has a lot on her shoulders. She's good at making snap decisions, being able to quickly calculate the variables involved and make the choice that helps the most people. She is generally benevolent but can get quite frustrated with people who don't see things in terms of the greater good and get caught up on the minutiae of problems. She's a big picture person and will tell you if something isn't working or is getting on her nerves. If you get on her bad side, she can be quite cold, but is generally quite a friendly and vivacious person, loving events like dances and parties. She is a very generous person and will give a lot of her time and energy to those she cares about, but this approach can sometimes leave little time or energy for herself. She doesn't always remember to put herself first, though she is trying to get better about it. However, this is her first year as the society president, which means the pressure is on. While there is a faculty mentor, he is rarely attentive to the society and relies almost entirely on the student president each year.
Rory takes her responsibilities very seriously, and herself quite seriously as well, so she appreciates the rare moments she had loosen up and have fun. However, even in those moments she still has some guard up, sometimes wondering if the demon-summoning incident could be partially attributed to her lenience despite her not being the society president at the time. She is hard on others, but hardest on herself, setting near-impossible standards to live up to. She can be judgmental if she deems people aren't doing their share or working hard enough at something, looking down on them. She also tends to value tangible results above most other things, despite it not always making sense. She is good at getting others to follow her, even if she is sometimes jealous of others with more natural leadership abilities that draw others to them.
She is quite good at controlling her emotions, bottling them up (which may end up with her exploding on someone who may or may not deserve it). She is also generally honest but will absolutely lie to keep people from freaking out or doing things that will the future of the society as a whole. Those close to her may get annoyed at how much she worries about the society's future and not about herself, throwing herself into her job with fervor.

history.
Unlike many others', Rory grew up knowing about magic, since her mother is an alumnus of Oak Grove Conservatory, having been the acting president of the Amithis Society during her senior year, and she puts a large amount of pressure on her daughter to follow in her footsteps. She excels at enchantment magic and encouraged Rory to follow in her footsteps, though when she went through the initiate ritual, she found she was better at divination. She tried hard to be a well-rounded student both academically and magically though, ending up dual majoring even though she knew it would take her an extra year to finish school because she's passionate about dance. Ever since Rory was little, dance was the one true rebellion against her mother she had, because though her mother signed her up for ballet as a child, Rory ended up choosing dance over her many other extracurriculars. The time she feels most free is when she's dancing, there she doesn't have to think about all the expectations on her and she can just move her body to the choreography.
Once Rory got accepted to the society her first year of university, her mother was happy not surprised. She expected as much, and did not give her daughter the credit she deserved for working so hard. Since Rory is an only child, there are no siblings for her mother to direct her attention towards, and she frequently would (and still does) call Rory to check up on her. Her mother truly does care for Rory, but also tries to live vicariously through her, attempting to fix her mistakes by having Rory redo her old path. After being inducted into the Amithis Society, Rory realized that though her mother had been president, she had been demoted after a scandal she refused to share with her daughter. Rory's curious nature led her to pry, but in the end she wished she hadn't when she learned the truth. Still, she wants to live up to her mother's expectations, and now, those of her peers and professors as well, since she's given them such high expectations based off of her past behavior.
After the demon summoning ritual at the end of the previous school year, she felt like it was her fault for not stopping it despite her not being the president yet, feeling a lot of guilt for her lack of action when she noticed Mallory acting oddly. Rory actually does enjoy her position and the authority she holds, having a bit of control issues and being a huge perfectionist when it comes to literally anything. She hates being in situations where she feels helpless and will do anything to ensure that she has the upper hand, even if her compassion sometimes makes her want to reach out to others. Now, she's really and truly prepared herself for her last school year (or at least tried to), thinking she has everything handled.

abilities.
✧ Scrying: This ability requires the presence of either water or a mirror but enables Rory to spy on someone in present time. She can see what someone is doing even though she cannot hear them nor see more than their immediate surroundings, including the people they are with. This ability can be blocked with any sort of anti-scrying/detection wards or spells, interfering with her ability. Due to her heavy reliance on this spell, Rory carries a small compact with her everywhere. What she can see is also limited by the size of the mirror or water, with bigger surfaces granting her a larger area of visibility.
✧ Telepathic messaging: Rory can communicate with people over large distances mentally, mumbling the spell under her breath in order to say whatever she wants to, with her target hearing it inside their mind. She can also hear any mental reply they direct at her.
✧ Precognition: Rory also has a limited ability to see the future. Like with her scrying, she can't hear any words or see more than the immediate surroundings of the target. She needs a surface such as a mirror or water in order to use this ability as well, and for both precognition and divination, she needs to be familiar with the target and able to visualize them in her mind. Precognition, being the future, isn't as accurate as scrying into the present. Rory sees more of a potential future than anything else. If she does multiple instances of this spell, she can see a few different possible futures play out.

appearance.
Atlas can be an imposing figure, considering his towering height and penchant for dark clothing, and he does nothing to try and soften up his image. Despite his height, he doesn't have a lot of muscle, giving him a thin, gangly build. He has near-constant eye bags from late nights and often is either seen scowling or with a lot of concentration on his face. He has no sense of what's going on around him and has deep brown eyes that are constantly looked off into the distance, indicating his mind being somewhere else. Atlas has a mess of brown hair he rarely bothers to do anything with, causing it to look a bit windswept unintentionally. He has somewhat messy eyebrows as well, and a long, straight nose with full lips. He is just the type of indie, nicotine-addicted guy that girls on Tiktok love, painting his nails black and wearing eyeliner on the rare occasion he puts some effort into his appearance. He dresses like the alternative older brother from a 90s-2000s movie. He has two helix piercings and one lobe piercing in each ear, and a tattoo of a sword on his right forearm. He also has an eyebrow piercing in his left eyebrow and a tattoo of a cute little cat on his left ankle (based off of his childhood pet).

psyche.
Atlas does not go out of his way to talk to the other members of the society much, possibly leading them to find him aloof and cold. While he doesn't go out of his way to be mean or rude, and is generally not a cruel person, his intimidating appearance and aloof personality don't make him very popular. He loves reading and writing and can be found reading a book often. If he's not reading, he's likely studying (magic or literature), or staring into space, apparently daydreaming. He has a very one-track mind and is constantly thinking of new ways to try and break his curse, or least to postpone its effects. After all, his father lived to his early thirties before he perished by living a very safe life, but Atlas doesn't want to waste his life away in fear of his curse while still remaining alive. He comes up with new ideas all the time, and it's difficult to sway him once he has his mind set on something, working until he gets what he wants. His determination is admirable, but it can get in the way of his relationships at times, with his propensity of figure things out by himself isolating him from others.
Unlike his cousin, Atlas does not have any sort of insomnia or sleeping problem but stays up very late and sometimes into the wee hours of the morning voluntarily, either in the middle of reading or working on a new spell of theory. If he weren't so single-minded on anything that could help with his curse, he might be one of the strongest members of the society due to his hard work and dedication. While most people generally know of his obsession with ending the curse, it is not spoken of in his presence, lest he get annoyed with them for bringing it up and leave. He's a bit like a cat in that he will show you attention when you stop pestering him about it. There are few things Atlas hates more than being told what to do, and controlling people only serve to make him angry. He does have a bit of a temper at times, but he is usually good at hiding it unless someone really pisses him off.
If there is one thing Atlas loves at much as literature, it's music. It calms him down when his anxiety around his curse is flaring up and he often has a pair of headphones or earbuds in anytime he's not in class. His music taste is relatively diverse since he listens to music so frequently, but his favorite kind of music by far is punk rock. He will animatedly talk about music or literature, opening up about those topics much faster than any others. Due to his intense study of magic, he is thoroughly versed on the practical minutiae of the craft, and those who truly become his friends will be granted his help in any endeavors they may wish for it in. Anyone else who asks him for help will likely get a sarcastic remark and potentially the bare minimum of assistance. Sarcastic remarks and brief statements are pretty much his only vocabulary for people he doesn't know well, or for people he dislikes.

03.
history.
Unlike many others at Oak Grove Conservatory, Atlas has known of magic for a long time, coming to Oak Grove Conservatory specifically with the intent to join the Amithis Society. He was banking everything on it, and when he didn't get accepted freshman year, he sank into a depressive state before realizing if he flunked out of school, he couldn't be inducted into the society at all. So he worked harder than ever, demonstrating his academic talent and cleverness in every way he could so that he'd get accepted into the society. Thankfully, his sophomore year, he was inducted, and he immediately got to work learning magic and trying to figure out a way to break the curse that was placed upon him when he was much younger.
Atlas had a mostly normal childhood, but after the death of his father when he was twelve, he learned something that changed his life forever. Most people deemed his father's death a suicide due to overdose, but a letter that he'd left behind for Atlas said otherwise. At first, Atlas thought his father was crazy, gone mad in his final months of life, since he had always been somewhat of an odd guy, though after several near-death experiences he finally believed the strange words written in the note. Generations ago, his great-grandfather had pissed off an extremely powerful magician, causing him to place a curse on the heads of the first son of his family. Despite the odds, every generation had at least one son born into it, and once his father died, it was a ticking clock until he died too. The specifics of the curse were unclear, since Atlas's great-grandfather had no prior knowledge of magic, and only incessant searching had brought the information to his grandfather's attention (that and his great-grandfather recounting the words of the curse on his deathbed). However, the one upside to the curse is that it strengthens the magic of the one who is currently bearing it, giving them abilities far beyond what a normal person could imagine. But each brush with his impending demise only brought him closer to the accident that would kill him. In his father's last note, Atlas read about Oak Grove Conservatory, seeing years' worth of hunting for information on the internet laid out in his father's neat script. So, he was determined to learn the secrets kept there and gain the magic he was so desperate to have.
Once he was at last accepted into the fold of the Amithis Society under the Hanged Man arcana (how morbidly appropriate, he thought), he could reign in the wild energy he had into real magic and learn how to break the curse. Until then, there are a lot of things he is forced to avoid or valiantly protect himself to do (such as fortifying his stomach every time he partakes in alcohol for fear that it could trigger the curse otherwise). However, he can't kick the smoking habit, since he figures the curse will kill him faster than cancer later in life ever could. He doesn't exactly announce his curse, but to most returning society members, it's likely common knowledge. Why else would he be so skilled at abjuration?

abilities.
powers.
✧ Wards: Due to the nature of his curse, Atlas has become greatly skilled with all sorts of wards and ways of protection. He is best at runic wards, often drawing them on himself with in black pen to buy himself time and keep himself safe while he continues to work on the cure to his curse. During any sort of reckless or dangerous activity (even just drinking if he knows he'll drink a lot), it is common to see him with runes of protection up and down his arms. He is specifically good with wards that keep away death and curses, but is passable at most sorts of warding spells (particular those which use runes).
✧ Shields: Though when it comes to offensive magic, Atlas is relatively weak, he is quite skilled at defending himself from offensive spells. He can conjure and create shields for himself, typically by drawing runes in the air or just speaking the words if he's in a hurry. Though his shields aren't as good as his wards, they're pretty useful in a pinch, and definitely useful when it comes to offensive magic. He's even decent at counterspells, being quite thorough that no bad magic can harm him. However, in a one on one fight his shields and wards likely won't do much damage unless someone steps into the boundary of them. His shields are his fastest-working spells, which he can produce quite quickly, unlike his wards and charms.
✧ Counterspells: Atlas is also good at counterspells, though he is not yet as quick at them as he would like to be, since his hastily muttered counterspells are usually quite clumsy in nature. His longer-term counterspells are much hardier, so if he comes across an enemy ward he can dismantle it quite easily given some time. His main focus currently (besides the obvious getting rid of his curse) is quickening his counterspells.
✧ Good luck charms: Similar to warding spells, Atlas excels at good luck spells and charms. He's your go-to guy if you're nervous about a test or need that extra push of luck to ask someone out. He has about four or five good luck charms on him at all times, though their usefulness fades after a while, and each only grants minimal good luck (but it's nice to think that they could be helping him avoid potentially fatal encounters, even if they don't make that big of a difference).

Though both Rory and Atlas can appear quite intimidating, Eddie is exactly the opposite. He is often smiling or appearing to be in contemplation of something, bringing his sketchpad with him everywhere. He's very friendly and will wave at people he knows, rarely excluding others. He has a head of tight curls that he does his best to maintain, caring about his appearance and aesthetics in general as an art student. He is also rarely seen without the thin golden-framed glasses he wears (for the aesthetic), liking the retro look. He has thick, but carefully manicured eyebrows and deep brown eyes. He has full lips and straight teeth thanks to years of braces as a child. He dresses like a slightly eccentric professor, preferring dark/light academia style. He has a slightly more muscular build than Atlas, but couldn't really be called buff or anything since all he does to maintain it is cardio and a bit of weights at the gym.

psyche.
Eddie is known as being an upbeat and vivacious guy, always up for a challenge or last minute excursion. He's agreeable and easygoing, willing to hear people out and engage in reckless behavior without a second thought. He's always got a clever joke, interesting observation, or flirty compliment up his sleeve, never being one to take life slow. From the outside, he seems like a good-natured, popular, and bright young man with a lot of artistic talent and a competitive drive. And while those qualities are all true, he lets the mask of the "man of the people" down around those who are close to him, showing a more mercurial and emotionally volatile side of him, being prone to changing his mind quickly about things. He is slow to show others the pressure he is under from his parents, since his mom was a semi-famous musician, so the arts run in his family, and he's afraid that he won't live up to her legacy.
Eddie does not do things he doesn't want to do, getting others to hang around him and listen to him rather than trying to make himself too agreeable like he used to do when he was younger. He is deeply passionate about his art, doing sometimes crazy things to get inspiration for it. He's a bit of a thrill seeker and prone to quick, messy relationships due to his nature of living fast and keeping things interesting. Maybe there are things he doesn't want to confront in the stillness of his mind, so he doesn't let himself think about it too deeply. He likes trying new things and meeting new people, generally being a socially gregarious person. He is fascinated by the strange and unordinary, part of why he loves magic, and aesthetics are very important to him. His art is everything to him, and he is terrified at the thought that one day he will lose his passion and everything he's given up for his art will be for nothing. In part due to this, he cares about his favorite art pieces as if they are his children.
But underneath his reckless party boy exterior, Eddie is actually quite the caring guy. He may try to act like he doesn't care about others, but he genuinely will do anything for his friends. He thinks that platonic love is one of the most important things in life, and though he doesn't always think through his decisions or think of other people when making them, he will always do his best to be a good friend to those he's close to.

history.
Though Eddie's father runs a profitable business, his mother was a semi-famous musician until she eventually quit and now works from home. While his mother was renowned for her guitar skills, she was only famous in certain circles since she was the lead guitarist in a grunge band in the 1990s and early 2000s. His parents support him getting an arts degree, but they put a lot of pressure on him to live up to his mother's legacy if he chooses a less stable field such as the arts (though this is not necessarily on purpose; they just want him to be able to live comfortably and worry about him). Part of the reason his parents worry so much is because Eddie used to have an older brother who passed away while he was in high school (and Eddie was in middle school) due to drunk driving and they are afraid Eddie will go down the same path. He hated the way he was treated like he was made of glass after that (not just by his family but also by his peers and teachers). He used his art to deal with the intense feelings of grief, anger, and pain at the time and still does use it to express and deal with his emotions.
Though Eddie can be reckless and do crazy things, he does have a few lines he won't cross (like drunk driving, for one) because of his even more reckless older brother. He used to be much more careful as a teenager but was jealous of his friends who lived much more carefree lives, so he started trying to emulate them and let himself live (but will sometimes go overboard). It was during his high school days that he went through a serious art block, scaring him since art was the only thing he felt he was really good at. So another part of why he lives and acts the way he does is because he's scared of losing his passion and artistic streak again. As a gifted artist and bright kid, he was asked to join the Amithis Society his freshman year at Oak Grove Conservatory, and he got a bit arrogant at first before realizing how much he truly didn't know, throwing himself into his study of magic with vigor. He will use magic as often as possible to cut corners on things (with his art being the one true exception to the rule) even though it is strongly recommended against.

abilities
✧ Glamors: One thing that Eddie truly excels at is creating glamors to hide aspects of one's appearance they don't want others to see or even disguising themself as another person entirely. These glamors are only illusions, though, so the caster does not get the benefits of another person's athletic physique or grace if they are wearing a glamor to masquerade as them. But unless one has a counterspell or a charm that enables them to see past the glamor, it is incredibly convincing.
✧ Light: Eddie's skill set also includes some more offensive spells, such as light manipulation. He has a decent ability to bend light to his will and refract it, part of why he is so good with glamor magic, since it's all sort of under the same umbrella if you think about it. He can absorb the light from a room, plunging it into darkness, or create a light so bright it is temporarily blinding (but this is detrimental to his own eyesight as well, since he's not immune).
✧ Invisibility: Since he is able to refract and reflect light in many ways, Eddie also figured out how to refract the light around himself to render himself invisible to those watching. There is a bit of a glimpse of his clothes or hair if he slips up during the intense concentration required to bend light in a way to become invisible, however. It took him a long time to learn to concentrate on staying invisible or maintaining a glamor while doing other things, and it becomes especially hard the more things he's attempting to do at once or the intensity of said activity is high.

persona
{ MORAL } caspian has a strong sense of right and wrong— an innate belief he knows what things should be done, and what things shouldn't. he is driven by and committed to these ideals. they are a standard he holds both himself and others to, and ones he is quite open about. as a result, he may go out of his way to do the right thing, even at personal cost.
{ RESPONSIBLE } there are some people you can trust to get things done. cas is serious about taking care of his business. he will not shirk duties, and he will handle himself. when it comes to caspian? his bed is made, his homework is done, and his frog's cage is cleaned and full of food.
{ DEDICATED } in hand with this, cas cares about the things he has committed to. the primary example of this is his education and learning, as he takes both his studies very seriously. not only does this covers his responsibilities, though, but extends to other aspects of his life. tasks he accepts from others, projects he takes on, and other commitments he makes will always be seen through.
{ TACTFUL } for cas, this is somewhat of a double-edged sword. for someone who often wants to be blunt, he understands that the honey often does more than the vinegar. caspian is good at navigating a situation with words, and can often phrase his words well to get his message across without offending or upsetting the other party.
{ SOCIAL } while the above traits may paint the idea of a young man who might be cold or unwelcoming, this is not true. cas is a people person, and enjoys immersing himself in conversations and social gatherings. caspian is the exact kind of person you could abandon for five minutes in the grocery store only to come back and discover he's chatted up every other person in the aisle. he enjoys getting along with others to a high extent, although he does not suffer greatly if this cannot be accomplished.
{ CRITICAL } as tactful as he may be, cas holds other people to high standards. this often makes him come across as judgmental, which he often can be when people fail to meet those aforementioned standards.
{ GUARDED } cas does not open up easy, or to just anybody. as much as he loves people, he does not give himself over to them— while he may be friendly, he does not share his personal life or thoughts with ease. getting close to cas can be a challenge, but also grants access to a different side of him.
{ PROUD } there's only so much you can avoid inheriting from your family. caspian can often be a very prideful person. while he believes that you should be proud of your accomplishments, not things handed or passed down to you, he is not known to be humble about these accomplishments of his. he might be prone to bragging, or seeing his own achievements as 'worth more' than those of others.
{ SANCTIMONIOUS } a person who has a strong set of morals and a strict dedication to them can often fall victim to being a little... self-righteous about them. while he understands that different people have different ideas of what's moral, he expects those in his life to act in fairly close to what he considers to be 'right.' he is unsympathetic to people who seem to struggle with this.
likes
{ COOL COLORS } for the most part, caspian's favorite colors are cool tones: blues, greens, purples, silver. this is especially apparent in his choices of clothing & decor. the exception here is brown, but he also likes gold at times.
{ READING } he enjoys reading a good book, although he has a penchant for non-fiction. while a good story can be amusing, he likes to immerse himself in learning about the past; come on, he's double majoring in anthropology and history, after all.
{ FROGS & TOADS } frogs and toads, for no true discernable reason, are caspian's favorite animals. he can tell the difference between the two with a glance, and is a veritable expert on them. he has a pet toad named falcon.
{ THE STARS/ASTROLOGY } he might not be much for sciences, but he enjoys the study of the stars. to be fair, the connection with them that he has feels more emotional than it does scientific.
{ THE CONCEPT OF REINCARNATION } caspian is a fan of the idea that life cycles back, and that when you pass away, it does not mean your soul is forever lost to the world. he is a fan of the idea that himself and the people he loves will see endless days, even if those are not always together.
dislikes
{ RECKLESSNESS } cas tends to be a very logical person, and most of his actions, words, or plans are very well thought-out. he tends to disapprove when others act without a real sense of thought beforehand.
{ DISORGANIZATION } if anybody is gonna keep his space organized, it's cas. he can't stand when things are a mess; everything needs to have a place to go that both makes sense and looks neat. this extends to things beyond physical space, such as class notes or planners.
{ CLICKING NOISES } there's always one kid in class who clicks his pen over and over, and another kid who's annoyed by the sound of it. cas has always been that second kid.
{ SUGARY SWEETS } almost everyone likes dessert, but caspian is a little bit of a snob about his. he doesn't like anything that is very sugary or sweet. ice cream and candy are a hard pass when it comes to cas. in fact, the only kind of chocolate he'll even eat is dark chocolate.
{ THE IDEA OF FATE } caspian does not believe in the idea that the future is out of his control; he resents it. he believes that his choices are his to make, and he is building a path of his own, not following one that has been laid out for him in advance.
skills
{ DETAIL-ORIENTATED } some people just see the little things, and that's cas to a tee. he's the one who can find the grammatical errors in your essay for you, or notice the haircut you just got.
{ SEWING } cas is surprisingly good at sewing. he might not make you clothes from scratch, but he can hem your jeans or take in your pants with a fair amount of ease and skill.
{ LANGUAGES } caspian is fluent in english, spanish, latin, and italian. he has working knowledge of french and portuguese, enough to hold basic conversation and get by in their respective countries with only minor struggle.
{ SPEED READER } in conjunction with the above, cas is a speed reader in both english and spanish, which are his primary languages.

caspian is the second child of historian cristopher serrano and veterinarian esme hale, born after their older daugher, calliope. from a young age, cas was aware of magic. after all, his great-grandfather was the acclaimed theodore hale, whose name most members of the society would recognize as a household name; theo hale pioneered the modern evocation magic. his work in shortening runes, as well as the spells he created himself, changed how people have casted it in the decades since his passing.
from a young age, caspian understood the recognition that his family name earned, even if he didn't bear it himself. his mother, who had grown up a hale before him, was strict on not letting this go to her children's head. while being a hale opened doors for him, caspian was taught that he had to make his own reputation, not live in the hollowed-out footsteps theodore had carved long before he'd been born. a name could get you far sometimes, when you needed to use it, but caspian and his sister had their father's last name— a somewhat controversial choice his parents had made, despite the fact that almost every descendent bore the hale name no matter which parent would have passed it on.
there's not much of note from his early childhood. cas had two loving parents, and they were dedicated to meeting both the physical and emotional needs of their children. he bickered with his older sister on a near daily basis, in a silent but intense competition for the title of favorite daughter as if there wasn't enough love to go around.
things shifted when he was eleven. a wet road and a distracted driver is all it takes to change a kid's life. cas and his father were on their way to pick up his sister when a teenage girl in a coupe slid through a red light and slammed into the driver's side of their car. from the backseat of the land cruiser, cas watched his father take the brunt of the hit only a second before the impact sent the car skidding, knocking caspian out when his head hit the window. he didn't wake up until the emts were pulling him out of the backseat.
the girl who hit them didn't wake up at all. neither did his father.
the accident rocked his family. overnight, they went from four to three. the grief rocked their mother, and she became unrecognizable; she had always said her husband was her rock, and now she was set adrift. callie became sullen and antisocial from her guilt, the exact opposite of the girl she'd been before. cas was left unmoored, with neither of them to hold onto while he grappled with his recollection of the accident.
it took months for any sort of healing to set in. with time and therapy, callie came back out of her shell, while cas learned how to live with his own memories. their father had always said they were his greatest blessings, and he would want them to feel at peace no matter what had happened. while her own grief was thick, caspian's mother learned how to reach through it and hold her children as they needed.
it was at this time that she also began to reach out to her own family. the serranos had been on the fringe of the hale family, in a way. esme loved her siblings and cousins, but she'd held them at a distance. upon graduating from the conservatory, she'd been the one to move across the country and start her life from scratch. without the support system of her husband, though, she made the decision to move her children back to the east coast and back into the hale fold in earnest. it might not have been the vision she'd originally had for raising her children, but this offered their family the support system they needed in the wake of tragedy.
this shaping brings us to the cas we have today— a hale in name only until he was 12, and the son of a dead historian. if there was one thing that.... honored both sides of his family, it was academic success. as such, cas has and will continue to push himself in everything he studies, even if he has to push himself to the brink in order to do it.

reputation
cas may not be the most popular within the amithis society, but he is known to be friendly and fairly easy to talk to. he's that guy that might not be everybody's best friend, but he knows almost everyone. likewise, most people know him on a surface level, at the very least. anybody who has interacted with him, whether they've intersected at school or they're a fellow member of the society, might be inclined to see him as kind, if a bit dry or stuffy.
magical skills
{ QUICK RUNES } like his great-grandfather pioneers, cas is a master at using shorthand runes to cast evocation spells. he is very good at casting on the fly.
{ LIGHTNING BOLTS } while he can toss around several evocation spells at this point, he is particularly adept in elemental magic surrounding lightning. he can throw bolts with relative ease.
{ LINGERING EFFECTS } cas is good at, for lack of a better term, 'sticking' his magic to people. he is very good at casting spells that linger on the person that was targeted by them.

callie serrano
his sister
-
callie is caspian's older sister by about three and a half years. the two of them spent most of their childhood bickering, maybe moreso than most siblings. they didn't get truly close until cas was thirteen, when he really started questioning his sexuality and gender. callie, despite their disagreements, proved to be a genuine and kind sounding board for his confusion and struggle, and welcomed everything he had to tell her with open arms. callie was the first person he came out to both times, and helped him come up with his name. as a result of this time period, the two of them are now very close.
callie is an incredibly social person, well surpassing cas. during her time at the conservatory, callie was the person who knew everybody. even after graduating, she kept up with several of her friends from the society. as of late, however, she's been a bit distant with people outside of her family. she answers texts and sometimes calls, but nobody has actually seen callie for months. a few are starting to ask questions.

cas and his mother are close. they might not be best friends, like some people his age are with their parents, but esme has been his only parent since he was eleven years old. he recognizes that, even in the face of her husband's death, she always tried her best for her children. caspian was always loved, cared for, and had everything he needed. and, despite his nerves about the subject, she accepted him whole-heartedly when he came out each time.

the priestess
ahomosexual know-it-alltwenty-one year old woman dual majoring in software engineering and business management. goes byshe/herpronouns, and is most known for being aworkaholic. can often be found working on a code for classes or potentially passed out over her desk with her head on a book. acancerborn on july 12th.
visage
build
standing at 5'7 (170cm) and weighing 130lbs (59kg), celeste's frame is slender but sturdy, a testament to the late nights hunched over textbooks and the relentless discipline she maintains in her studies. celeste has always been built for speed rather than strength, years of running track has made her faster than most of her peers and has left her with a toned physique. her posture is upright and purposeful as celeste has a certain standard for herself from a deeply ingrained determination that keeps her focused, even during grueling hours. celeste's hands also bear faint callouses from countless hours spent scribbling notes.
hair
blessed with long, thick, curly natural hair celeste takes great pride in her hair and maintaining it's appearance. more often than not celeste keeps her hair done in protective styles and she can typically be found with it cascading down in long, intricately twisted braids or twists, each one neat and uniform, framing her face beautifully. the braids are tightly woven from her scalp, and carry an air of sophistication while maintaining a relaxed elegance.
facial features
celeste's face is a harmonious blend of soft, and distinctive features. her high cheekbones give her a naturally regal appearance, while her almond-shaped eyes, deep and expressive, seem to hold a quiet intensity, drawing in anyone who meets her gaze. she often looks as if she's judging those around her and nine times out of ten she probably is. her smooth, warm complexion glows with a subtle radiance, highlighting the elegant curve of her sharp jawline. her full lips, often set in a thoughtful expression, add to the overall air of calm intelligence she exudes.
body mods
as someone who has never been a fan of most tattoo styles celeste's skin remains unmarked. the only prominent modification she has is that both of her ears have two piercings.

persona
intelligent - celeste’s intelligence is by far her biggest defining quality. born with a photographic memory celeste is a natural fast learner with a natural curiosity and analytical mind, allowing her to quickly understand complex concepts and make connections other people may miss. her sharp mind helps her excel in academic and strategic pursuits, making her both resourceful and knowledgeable. due to her smart brain she is often the go-to when it comes solving tough problems, and her ability to think critically brings a sense of confidence and competence.
ambitious - from a young age celeste has had an innate drive to achieve greatness instilled into her from her brother, always pushing herself to accomplish more. her ambition means she sets high goals and isn’t afraid of the hard work needed to meet them. she thrives off of challenges and views obstacles as opportunities to prove her worth and improve herself. whether it’s in academics, her career, or personal growth, celeste is always looking forward, setting her sights on what she can accomplish next and holding herself to rigorous standards.
loyal - though celeste doesn’t let many people in, her loyalty to those she cares about is unwavering. she values trust and is highly protective of her friends and loved ones, willing to go to great lengths to defend and support them. loyalty for celeste isn’t just about standing by others in easy times; it’s about being there even when things get difficult, making her a reliable and steadfast presence. once someone has earned her trust, they know they can count on her through thick and thin.
confident - celeste’s confidence is apparent in her posture, speech, and interactions. she knows her strengths and isn’t afraid to showcase them, carrying herself with a self-assuredness that naturally draws others to her. this confidence isn’t just skin-deep; it stems from her hard work and belief in her own capabilities. while some might find her confidence intimidating, those who know her well see it as a testament to her commitment to self-improvement.
integral - a strong sense of integrity grounds celeste’s with her actions. she values honesty and has a strict moral code, preferring to achieve success through genuine effort and dedication rather than shortcuts or deceit. her integrity is seen in her dedication to doing what’s right, even when it’s inconvenient or challenging. she can be trusted to keep her word and to treat others with fairness, which makes her both respected and dependable.
celeste is known for her razor-sharp intellect and keen sense of purpose, traits that make her a natural leader and an exceptional scholar. her intelligence is complimented by an unwavering ambition that drives her to exceed expectations, not just for herself but also as an example to others. her loyalty runs deep, and though she keeps a very small circle, those she lets in know they can trust her implicitly; she will go to great lengths to protect and support those she cares about and if you're someone that celeste considers a friend you'll have someone in your corner for the rest of your life. her confidence and integrity form the foundation of her character—celeste holds herself to high moral standards, refusing shortcuts or compromises in her values. she has an unmistakable sense of self, and her belief in her abilities and ethical code make her both a respected and reliable figure in the eyes of others.
perfectionist - celeste’s perfectionism drives her to demand the absolute best from herself and those around her, often to an extreme degree. she has incredibly high standards and can be overly critical when things don’t meet them. this trait sometimes leads her to overwork herself and expect similar levels of dedication from others, making her prone to burnout and frustration. while perfectionism helps her achieve a lot, it can also cause her to be hard on herself and unforgiving of mistakes.
impatient - with a mind that moves quicker than most, celeste typically has little tolerance for delays or inefficiency. when others take longer to understand concepts or complete tasks, she can grow frustrated, viewing it as a waste of time. her impatience can lead her to be blunt or dismissive with others, especially when she feels they aren’t working as quickly as she would. while her drive is admirable, her impatience can create tension with others, especially in collaborative situations.
judgmental - with her high standards, celeste can be quick to judge others who don’t share her drive or dedication. she has little patience for what she sees as laziness or incompetence, which can lead her to be overly critical or dismissive. her judgmental attitude sometimes creates barriers with others who might otherwise connect with her. this trait can cause tension in her relationships, as she often struggles to see things from the perspective of those who don’t approach life with her same intensity.
prideful - pride is both a source of strength and a weakness for celeste. she takes a lot of pride in her accomplishments and capabilities, which can sometimes make her seem unapproachable who see her as someone out of their league. her self-assuredness often edges the line into being conceit, making her reluctant to admit when she’s wrong or in need of help. this pride sometimes keeps her from forming deeper connections with others, as she may dismiss advice or assistance, believing she can handle things on her own.
conceited - while celeste’s intelligence and ambition are strengths, they also give rise to a certain level of conceit within her. she can come off as overly confident, assuming that her way is always the best approach and that if someone disagrees they are the ones in the wrong. in social situations, this attitude can alienate others who may feel dismissed or undervalued. her conceit sometimes blinds her to the talents and contributions of those around her, which can hinder teamwork and isolate her from potential allies.
stubborn - with her high standards, celeste can be quick to judge others who don’t share her drive or dedication. she has little patience for what she sees as laziness or incompetence, which can lead her to be overly critical or dismissive. her judgmental attitude sometimes creates barriers with others who might otherwise connect with her. this trait can cause tension in her relationships, as she often struggles to see things from the perspective of those who don’t approach life with her same intensity.
despite her admirable qualities, celeste’s high standards and uncompromising nature can sometimes create tension between herself and her peers. her perfectionism pushes celeste to demand the best, often leading her to set unrealistic expectations for herself and those around her. this drive is coupled with a deadly streak of impatience; she has little tolerance for inefficiency or error, which can come off as judgmental and occasionally unkind. pride and conceit color her interactions, especially in situations where she feels intellectually superior, making her seem aloof or even dismissive. celeste’s stubbornness is another one of her formidable traits; once she has made up her mind, it is nearly impossible to sway her, and she resists outside opinions. while her confidence can be seen as a virtue, her pride and tendency to judge can be a barrier to meaningful connections, sometimes leaving her isolated in her own exacting world.
likes
puzzles. celeste loves when puzzles challenge her mind and give her a chance to test her problem-solving skills. of course due to her photographic memory she is only ever to solve a puzzle once before growing bored of it as her mind will always remember how to solve it.
technology. technology fascinates her because of how it constantly evolves, presenting new tools to explore and master. she sees it as a limitless field for learning, creativity, and efficiency. she even dreams of starting her own tech company one day.
cute stationary. cute stationery is one of celeste’s quieter indulgences. there’s something motivating about writing with a beautiful pen or organizing her notes in a charming notebook; it adds a personal touch to her work and makes studying a bit more enjoyable.
coffee. it's less that celeste likes the taste of coffee, rather she likes how energized it makes her. a staple for when she needs to stay up late working on assignments or when she's up early and needs something to keep her from falling asleep in class or at her desk.
track. she's been running since middle school and it’s always been a way to channel her energy, stay fit, and feel strong.
debates. she thrives on the challenge of defending her viewpoints, and she enjoys testing her wit and persuasive skills against others but what she loves more than anything is proving other people wrong.
dislikes
disorganization. celeste finds disorganization chaotic and inefficient, which directly clashes with her structured approach to life. she believes that order creates focus and productivity, so clutter and mess leave her feeling unsettled and irritated.
superficial conversations. she values meaningful dialogue, so small talk feels empty and unfulfilling. superficial conversations don’t allow for depth or intellect, which leaves her impatient and often eager to move on to more substantial topics.
gossip. she sees it as a waste of time and a sign of insecurity. she would rather invest her energy in honest interactions than in tearing others down, and she simply doesn't have the time nor the energy to invest in people she doesn't care about.
the skin on apples. the texture bothers her. though a small thing, she prefers everything to be exactly as she likes, even down to her snacks.
mediocrity. celeste strives for excellence in everything she does, so she has little patience for mediocrity. she sees it as settling for less than what’s possible and is frustrated by a lack of ambition or drive in herself or others.
strengths and weaknesses
(+) intelligence (photographic memory). speed due to her years of track. quick cat like reflexes. resilience. emotionally controlled. her brother.
(-) workaholic. emotionally reserved due to her untrusting nature. perfectionist. her brother.

celeste.
you can't ignore me forever.
me speaking with you depends on if you ready to stop acting entitled to my parents money.
you know your father would want his family to be well taken care of, especially after all i’ve done to raise you and your brother. it’s only fair i receive a portion of the inheritance.
don't pretend that you raised me and bellamy out of the kindness of your heart. we both know the only reason you took us in was because you knew that doing so you would get access to our parent's money.
hope you enjoyed it while it lasted because now that i'm an adult you can kiss it all goodbye.
fine. if you're going to act like a spoiled brat then both you and your brother can lose my number.
say something...
knowledge is power, but discipline is the key that unlocks it
born as the second child to gideon, an architect, and cressida hemingsworth, a lawyer, celeste grew up surrounded not only by the love of her parents but with the love of her older brother bellamy as well. due to her parents wealthy careers celeste never had to want for anything, and by most people's definition was more than a little spoiled. unfortunately, the family's happy days couldn't last forever and celeste was only six years old when her life was changed forever. one night, as loud, terrifying sounds filled their home, her older brother bellamy held her close in the closet in her room, his arms wrapped tightly around her, shielding her from the horror unfolding outside. the sounds of gun shots firing etching themselves into celeste's mind as she did best to be quiet. by the time the police arrived their parents were already gone, victims of a robbery that ended in tragedy.
their uncle lysander, her father’s older brother, took them in after the incident. at first, he seemed willing enough, offering comfort and stability. however, it didn’t take long for his real motives to surface and within a year his care for them began to dissipate as it was clear that lysander hadn't calculated how much work two young children would be for him. lysander’s concern wasn’t for celeste or bellamy; it was for the wealth their parents had left behind after their death. he provided them with the absolute bare necessities, and sometimes he would forget to even do that— bellamy often having to remind him that they needed new clothes, supplies for school, and even food. always with an eye toward the inheritance they’d gain access to once they turned eighteen celeste learned at a young age that while he probably did care about them to some degree it was clear that lysander wasn't someone she could have trust in. as the years went by, his support grew colder and less reliable, forcing bellamy to take on responsibilities someone his age never should have to.
despite the hardship, bellamy was always there for celeste, acting as her rock and her shield. he helped her with everything from her hair to warding off the bullies who tried to push her around, knowing that, for now, he was the only one she could truly rely on. bellamy’s protectiveness drove him to maturity early, and celeste always admired his resilience, even if she didn’t fully understand the sacrifices he was making for her at the time.
for celeste, school became her escape. she quickly discovered she had a photographic memory, which helped her excel academically. learning became her way out, her method of taking control in a life that felt otherwise dictated by loss and uncertainty. she studied harder than anyone, determined to build a future that lysander’s influence couldn’t touch. by the time she graduated high school, her dedication earned her a place at oak grove college, the same school her parents had once attended. she chose to double major in business and software engineering, driven by ambition and a desire for independence.
in her first year, she received an invitation to join the society—a prestigious group that her parents had once been part of. joining the society felt like reclaiming a piece of her parents’ legacy, a step toward becoming the person she aspired to be. with each achievement, celeste felt she was honoring her parents’ memory and proving bellamy’s sacrifices were worth it.

synaptic static
ENCHANTMENT. celeste can cast an explosion of psychic energy, sending chaotic thoughts and mental disruptions to all within its reach. people and creatures caught in the radius of this spell feel an immediate sense of confusion, causing disorientation and mental fog for a short period. those affected find it difficult to focus, lowering their awareness and accuracy. if she manages to hit a someone's mind particularly hard, celeste briefly glimpses flashes of their memories, gaining insights into their fears, pasts, or hidden motives.
modify memory
ENCHANTMENT. celeste can reach into the mind of a creature or person, altering a memory as if it were a passage in a book. she can erase moments, rewrite events, or even create completely new recollections, all without leaving a trace of interference. for this spell to work effectively, she needs to connect with the creature and focus for a brief time. though she’s careful with its use, celeste knows this spell’s potential to protect her secrets, gain trust, or shape events to her advantage. memories modified by her spell remain as real to the creature as any other, embedding them deeply in its mind.
compulsion
ENCHANTMENT. this spell allows celeste to impose her will on a group of creatures, directing them to move in a direction she chooses. once the spell takes hold, the affected creatures feel an irresistible urge to follow her command, moving without question as if drawn by an invisible force. though they retain control of their actions, they cannot resist the direction she compels them to follow. compulsion allows her to subtly manipulate the positioning of her targets, guiding them away from advantageous positions or into vulnerable ones, granting her a tactical edge in battle or negotiation.
arcane eye
DIVINATION. by focusing her will, celeste can create an invisible magical sensor—an “eye” that floats independently and can travel beyond her physical reach. this eye lets her see things in distant rooms or hidden locations, moving silently wherever she directs. the eye can pass through small openings, aiding celeste in scouting or spying on people and places. although she must concentrate to maintain it, this spell grants her a valuable edge, allowing her to gather information firsthand without placing herself in danger.
nondetection
DIVINATION. celeste uses this spell when she needs to avoid prying eyes or scrying attempts. casting it over herself or an object, she shields the target from divination spells and magical detection, rendering it invisible to those trying to observe or locate it. this spell allows her to remain undetected while exploring, protecting her identity or hiding crucial items she wishes to safeguard. though she can’t maintain it indefinitely, nondetection gives her the freedom to move unseen through magically monitored areas.
telepathic bond
DIVINATION. when strategy or subtlety is needed, celeste casts this spell to link her mind with those of her allies. the bond allows silent, long-distance communication for an extended period, ideal for complex planning or coordination. through this mental link, they can share thoughts, warnings, or ideas instantly, with celeste maintaining an unbroken flow of communication. the spell works best with people she knows well, as the connection is strongest when trust and familiarity are present.
specialty
celeste considers herself to be a jack of all trades but her strongest spells are in divination and enchantments

bellamy hemingsworth
older brother
-
celeste loves her brother bellamy more than anything or anyone in the world. he's been her steadfast protector, her closest confidant, and the one person she’s always felt like she can count on. growing up, bellamy always made it his responsibility to shield her from the worst parts of life after their parents died. he was the steady presence in every storm, stepping in whenever she needed help, support, or just to know that she wasn’t alone. but his protectiveness wasn't always just about shielding her as bellamy has also been her greatest motivator and the one who encourages her to be strong and self-sufficient. it's because of him that celeste has an intense need to grow smarter, to be better tomorrow that she is today as bellamy instilled into her at a young age that she needs to be smart as he won't always be around to protect her. because of this in every ambition she chases, she’s driven by the desire to make bellamy proud.

the empress
atwent-threeyear old woman majoring in veterinary medicine with a minor in photography. goes byshe/herpronouns. best known for her anti-social tendencies. often spends her time in nature, preferring to be around animals than people. a taurus .
visage
build
5'8 (172cm) and weighing 120lbs (54kg), silvia's frame is captivatingly lithe and graceful. her body, built more for agility than raw strength, moves with a natural fluidity that gives her an almost feline presence, each step purposeful yet unhurried. she embodies a 'sleeper build', a deceptive exterior concealing the potential for swift and deadly movements from years of constant personal defense training and regularly hiking through nature.
hair
silvia’s hair is a striking platinum blonde, cut in soft layers that frame her face with an effortless edge. most days, she lets it fall freely, brushing past her shoulders and landing near her waist with a natural, airy volume that gives her a bit of wild charm.
facial features
with fair, almost porcelain-like pale skin and bright eyes silvia is best known for resembling a doll in goth clothing. silvia's face is only enhanced by her sharp cheekbones and delicate jawline, adding to her air of innocence. her most noticeable feature are her sky blue eyes, piercing and skeptical-- silvia may not talk much but she's always watching. her eyes often look brighter than they naturally are to the black eyeshadow she often likes to leave, making them look like they're swimming in a black void.
body mods
while silvia absolutely loves the aesthetic of tattoos and would love her own one day she hasn't mustered up the courage to get any as they feel like to big of a committ. instead she has multiple piercings on both ears, a belly button piercing, and nipple piercings.

visage
build
standing at 5'9" (175cms) and 70kg (154lbs), vincent's physique is slender and lean. his body is toned on account of the physical exertion he puts himself through, hoping to exhaust his body into succumbing to sleep. vincent sports his posture with confidence, in part because of his conceited nature—not helped as he sits at the top of his class.
facial features
known for his sharp and striking features, vincent's distinctive look is accentuated by his high cheekbones and strong jawline. his most notable trait are the piercing arctic blue eyes that shine with an intensity others find somewhat unsettling if his gaze lingers too long. his dark hair is often tousled, on the grounds of his restlessness due to insomnia, and contrasts greatly with his fair skin.

seeing his body as his very own canvas to paint, vincent longs for tattoo's but is incredibly indecisive on where to begin.

persona
(+) considerate. for what it's worth, vincent would describe himself as such. he makes it his business to understand the needs of other initiates, wanting nothing more than for the numbers to be on their side—and whilst he was more partial to them than that of his peers, vincent was not above pointing out the weak from the strong.
(+) honest. blunt, in a tactful way. he sees no use in stringing along a lost cause. with nothing but time on his hands, vincent understand not to take it for granted and put those that are going to struggle out of their metaphorical misery.
(+) creative. with that endless spare time vincent finds himself with in the dead of night, his creativity flourished in spite of the haphazard lines he would paint as opposed to a more focused mind. though, his professor valued the originality of his work. his dorm room is full to the brim of sketched canvases of various kinds, leaning more towards renaissance-esque art.
(+) ambitious. vincent values and appreciates the ambitiousness in initiates, harbouring that streak himself. some might see him as power hungry, and he was reluctant to deny that playing a very large part in what he found himself involved in as of recent, though in his eyes—if you weren't ambitious, you won't cut it here.
(+) humourous. for all his pretense of wielding power beyond what he thought himself capable of, vincent's insomnia directly affects his ability to cope at times; arming himself with an often misplaced sense of humour.
(-) conceited. to the bone. vincent wouldn't strive for greater power if he felt himself incapable or out of touch with what might be required of him. flourishing in his studies beyond that of magic, vincent found it hard to not walk around with a reasonably sized ego.
(-) self-indulgent. insomnia left him with a vice he needed to fill—using his magic to snuff out someone's waking world, altering their dreams and sending them to one of his own making with that of his illusions. walking another's dreamscape was his version of self-indulgence, along with becoming a habitual smoker.
(-) obstinate. stubborn and set in his ways, vincent can be unreasonable if his own opinion differs on subjects he refuses to waver on, fully valuing his own thought process above others.
(-) irritable. lack of sleep left him easily irritable at times and his sleep deprivation makes him quick to bother others; there were too many thoughts to mull over in the loneliness.
(-) foolish. once more, the insomnia has a tendency of high-jacking the more intelligent parts of him; not necessarily a lack of good judgment, but in conversation.
likes
sleeping. when vincent is granted the mercy of sleep, his creative juices flow effortlessly and he's able to produce his best work. it remains his one true joy in life—quieting his restless mind.
competition. only when he will win, that is; vincent doesn't care to waste his time (of which he has an endless amount) on a sure thing. friendly competition and rivalries keeps him on his toes, working his idleness and preventing him from becoming too stagnant.
smoking. a horrible habit he refuses to quit. it leaves him exhausted, reducing his energy and sometimes allows him to steal a few hours of sleep.
paint. more specifically, the scent of paint. vincent wouldn't necessarily huff paint fumes from the can, but he also rarely aired out the room he created his work in unless in others' company.
homecooked meals. vincent picked up a number of skills during his extra hours of waking time, starting with meal preparation to ensure more time in his art studio rather than taking forced breaks to remember his body required food to function.
dislikes
unproductive conversations. vincent doesn't appreciate it. even with the endless time and energy to expend, he once hoped boring conversation might lull him to sleep—but it only left him frustrated by others' inability to converse in a mindful manner.
sweets. too wired by the sugar in various sweets, vincent utterly refuses to give his mind and body an excuse not to sleep.
the arts. his passion and curse; it causes frustration when art pieces don't come out as he envisioned. this is especially the case when running on little to no sleep, plagued with insomnia and nothing to do but paint.
lying. he can understand that some aren't as strong-willed to be honest, that even white lies have a place, but his brutal honesty leaves him with little respect for those wanting to gloss over harsh truths, preferring to lie and save face.
hyperactivity. as someone that craves rest—an eternal slumber, at this point—vincent detests those with high energy, unable to help but feel envious and extremely annoyed by them.
strengths & weaknesses
(+) strong and silent presence. mental fortitude. manipulative.
(-) tunnel-vision. smoking. impaired reflexes, due to sleep deprivation.

history
margaret wynn
Vincent, are you there?
...
say something...
i lost the game, i can't get lower
attending oak grove conservatory was an inevitability for vincent wynn. excelling in the fine arts department, his invitation for the amithis society came within his first month of classes—the emperor tarot card placed atop his newly painted canvas, a rendition of 'anguish' by august friedrich schenck—and found himself caught up in the whirlwind of magic, power, and insomnia.
until this pivotal turning point, vincent's childhood had passed by in slow-motion. sleep deprivation was the sole constant of his life, a cruel joke; punishment towards his penchant for creativity, much to the dismay of his brutish father. now a member of the society, his condition worsened.
painting the time away until the muscles in his wrist cramped, maybe my joints will exhaust my brain.
reading endless texts of magic, absorbing the knowledge with greedy abandon, maybe it will tire my eyes.
he stared at nothing for hours, maybe i'll be bored to death.
before long, vincent gave up on the hopes of succumbing to a sleep lasting more than an hour or two at a time and began to compartmentalise the pieces of his life. he was deserving of more than a life, somehow cursed by his father for having a mind of his own—a talent he had no hand or say in.
his formerly miserable existence shifted and his arrogance grew from there. nights were kept busy by delving into classical painting, sketching himself as an all-powerful being. he also took up the habit of smoking—finding the calmer he was, the more likely he was able to sleep for short periods at a time and feel somewhat rested. it was never enough, not for him, and his speciality in illusion was born from a selfish want to infiltrate others dreams.
[THE EVENTS OF FOURTH YEAR IS REDACTED]
vincent had a distinct role within the society as a fifth year, mentoring the newest members in finding a starting point for their magical abilities—the endless time on his hands allowed him to learn a myriad of class one and two spells. his main purpose was to use Modify Memory to detect the weak links that would hurt their society, not serve.
and further, he found for significant cases—initiates appearing to spiral, suddenly at odds with the gravity of their goals—he would induce slumber for those who asked or needed the intervention. nothing put life into perspective more than a restful nights sleep.

persona
Many would say that Lys is too easygoing for her own good. A little carefree and tackles her studies seriously enough to be able to pass her classes and keep her scholarship but not seriously enough that she would ever hope to top in any of her classes aside from a few exceptions. In fact, it appears that she's living her full college life to its fullest— enjoying both the socialization aspect and the studying aspect of it. It wouldn't even be all that rare to see Lys sitting in a class that has absolutely nothing to do with her major just because she was bored and had nothing to do.
Lys is surprisingly naive about certain aspects of life in Oak Grove Conservatory and American culture in general. Many have come to chalk it up to her being an immigrant to the States. Over the year that she had already been at the academy, though, she has collected enough experience to be able to cruise through most interactions. Lys still has times where she struggles with the massive difference in culture between her own home country and being in Vermont and this can sometimes be glaringly obvious when it comes to societal talks and how things have been run. She isn't afraid to show off her own culture which can sometimes put her at odds with other people.
She's friendly and open in a way to make sure others feel like she's as honest as they come. In actuality, Lys is cautious to the point of paranoia— no one can know of the things she does. If it comes out, she feels like she will be found and she would have to run away again. This leads her to become extremely secretive of her own problems, preferring to keep it hidden beneath lock and key so she can enjoy her life to the fullest. This was her second chance at everything and Lys didn't want to fuck it up.
[+]
Animals: Her parents would often conjure animals whenever she was bored when she was young and let her play with them. They reminded her of her parents and she misses them dearly.
Magic: Magic had been deeply rooted in her life and how she was raised so, naturally, she adored magic in all of its glory. She has a specific fascination with conjuration, mostly due to her connection to it since childhood.
Stargazing: Lys has gotten into this habit as a break from the hectic lifestyle she has thrown herself in. She finds it both peaceful and calming while also giving herself something to do without it being too stressful. Does Lys remember every constellation? Of course not. She uses an app to help.
[-]
Alcohol: Despite being a frequent party-goer due to her social circles, Lys typically distances herself from drinking as much as possible. Intoxication and the ability to use magic are an interesting combination she'd rather not explore.
Trickery: She had been fooled one too many times and it had led her stumbling down an uncertain path just to escape. Any attempts to trick or hoodwink her are treated as betrayals and she will retaliate.
Curiosity: Ah, it wasn't bad, per se. It's just bad when that curiosity is turned to her. Anything more than the usual surface-level questions tend to stress her out.

history
Childhood
Alyssa was born in a small village of magicians in Siquijor, Philippines who prized community over individuality; as such, she was raised by most of the adults in the town and passed from one person to another depending on who had the time. This was true for most of the kids in the group. This wasn't to say that her life had been sad when she was younger; in fact, she would readily admit that they had cared for her a lot. The children of this community were taught how to survive, teaching them the basics of livelihoods to allow them to grow up as well-rounded adults. After all, while the adults of the group have their own specialties, they can't fall apart just because no one can take over their responsibilities.
When they were a bit older, they were taught about magic and how they must keep it a secret from the outside world. As such, they were not allowed to really venture or interact with the cities until they were teenagers. Slowly but surely, however, they were trusted to join the other adults in buying essentials for the community. Alyssa, herself, liked interacting with the city and the world in general. They were allowed to attend high school to college, should they want to and Alyssa did opt into it.
Her school life, while it had taken time to adjust with so many new people, had gone well enough. Her approachable nature had allowed her to get into a few groups without much conflict; though her naivety with technology and a lot of the slang of the world became the butt of many jokes but Alyssa took it all in stride. Eventually, she found herself a group of friends who were kind enough to walk her through the wonders of the internet beyond a couple of research papers or searching up how to churn butter because you forgot how to.
Training
When they become seventeen years old, children in the village are slowly integrated into magic by teaching them the basics of how mana is turned into magic and how it works. However, this village taps into a more primal and ancient way of doing magic. As such, most of the terminologies are steeped deep in the culture of Filipinos that had been preserved throughout their colonialism. However, when you tear it apart to its very basics, it's all the same. What is needed to use magic and the experience you need to be able to truly cast it on whim. All of this is what is drilled into the heads of the children before they are even allowed to cast. After all, they cannot have irresponsible magicians running around. This is something special and sacred to the village, after all.
Lys had a special interest in conjuration much like both of her parents who both had had one specialization in conjuration. However, it was this interest that had called the wrong type of attention but Lys, oh Lys, why would she ever doubt an elder in the village?
The Incident
[ R E D A C T E D ]
Oak Grove Conservatory
Lys's entrance to Oak Grove Conservatory was eventful. It was a high-end school, one that she could never hope to afford, and yet, she tried her hand at it and got a scholarship. Paired with a couple of grants she had applied for, Lys didn't technically even need to get a part-time job to afford her time at the academy. Entering when she was nineteen, she immediately threw herself into the curriculum. Having to maintain her grades to keep her scholarship while also balancing it with adjusting to a new environment was a challenge— but Lys rarely backed down from it. Finding friends among the rich felt difficult, at first, as she found herself being underestimated time and time again; but eventually, she found her footing.
Lys eventually started to branch out when she got more comfortable. She attended parties more, went to events, and met people from different majors. While she had no inclination to join any organizations or sororities due to their questionable nature and, admittedly, way too expensive membership fees, her sociable nature still allowed her to at least have a good couple of people she could reliably hang out with when she was free.
Lys had to admit that the community she created at Oak Grove Conservatory was nothing like the one she had as a child, and that was something she would forever miss. Not to mention the fact that she couldn't even practice magic openly anymore, keeping it as tight-knit of a secret as was taught to her all those years before. But she couldn't keep clinging to the past. She had to look to the future. And what a future had landed on her lap— an invitation into the Amithis Society.
Reputation
In the society, Alyssa wishes to be perceived as someone who is carefree and easygoing— someone that people shouldn't really worry about. She doesn't mind not being taken seriously; in fact, she would prefer that. After all, being underestimated is the greatest shield you can have when you're trying to hide.
At school, Alyssa is known to be a free-spirit who floats between friend groups. Academically, she does well enough to keep her scholarships, but many have commented that she always has the most amount of questions— whether this be to the professor or to her fellow classmates. Many see her as a naive person and not a threat to the social hierarchy of the school. After all, she's just a nobody with a friendly personality; you can find that anywhere in the world.

Conjuration
✦ Animal conjuration - She can create various animals that appear realistic and true to form. These animals are on a time limit, however, due to mana being the only thing that keeps their form whole and it entirely depends on Lys just how long a conjured animal can last.
✦ Warging - Lys has the ability to take over one of her conjured animals' consciousness to be able to freely move using that animal's body while also using all of its senses. This leaves Lys's human body vulnerable. She typically only uses this spell under pressing circumstances in safe places or with trusted people.
✦ Teleportation - Another common spell that most conjuration specialists would learn, Lys can teleport over short distances with only the use of a word of power. Longer-ranged teleportation requires a more intricate ritual by using a series of runes to make a teleportation circle. This also allows teleportation for multiple people.

I was never ready for you to leave, but you left. And the way you left will always stay.personalityWhen people say Max is "well-meaning" they could either be referring to his kind nature or saying it contrarily as he offers up his help no matter the situation. Many may not need help or find it insulting that he thinks they can't look after themselves. Yet, Max believes it is unfair for them to be out there alone with no one to support them. Yet maybe they want to carve their own way into the world and don't want to be sheltered. But Max is a home; he only knows how to be a shelter.
Many people speculate as to why he acts this way. Was it a rough upbringing? Did something traumatic happen? Was there a loss that he never recovered from? No one gets these answers because Max hates to talk about himself. Instead, He would ask how they felt and if he could do anything to improve the situation. He would be a perfect friend if it weren't apparent that he was deviating from discussing his wants and goals. But his feelings are weird and complicated, and he hates them the moment they tumble out of his lips.
Beyond that, he's the go-getter type. He doesn't know the words "slow down" and doesn't abide by them. It's quite amazing he hasn't gotten into one traffic accident due to his enthusiasm. If someone needs help with something, whether moving a couch or listening to what bothers them deeply, Max is more than willing to help. He'll be of more use with the couch, but he can always lend an ear.- the beginningThe first child of Patrick and Devorah Maguire, Maxim was doted on almost constantly. A couple of years later, when Theresa was born, their attention shifted from him. While it had a bit to do with her being the newest child, she'd been born premature and a little sickly. She eventually recovered, but not before hogging the attention away from Maxim for a year. Many thought he would be the sort that didn't care to share the spotlight, but instead, he was more than happy to. Maxim took his job as big brother as if it was a lifelong career goal.
───────────────
Large hands, larger than what felt like the entire universe, rested on either side of him and then hoisted him upwards so Max could stare through the window pane and into the NICU. There his mother was huddled over a small, clear plastic crib. Her head was in her hands, and her thick red curls fell around them like liquid fire. Max looked inquisitively back at the human crane that had hoisted him up--his father. All he could see was the reflection of those round glasses, as they had been fogged over with tears. Soft trails of liquid strolled down his cheeks and off of his chin. Max was still too young to understand what was happening, but he reached a hand out and pressed it against his father's face. The man smiled at him, his perfect white teeth was one of the few things that Max did remember from that time.
"That's your little sister, Theresa. She's--sick." He paused. "Don't worry. She'll get better, and when she does, it'll be your job to protect her."
Max nodded, barely grasping at what was happening.
───────────────the mundane bitsLook at Max, what do you think he excelled at? While his path in life was quickly carved out in the beginning, Theresa's was less so. She was brighter than her brother, but she was also more secretive. While he was very open with his thoughts about anything and everything, she'd give an odd smirk and scribble things down in her notebook.
There were a few years between the Maguire siblings, but for the most part, they were always in the same school together. If someone saw either of them alone, the other wasn't far behind. This is not to say that their sibling bond was almost all-consuming, as they had interests and friends outside of each other. Theresa was brilliant with poignant observations and a girlfriend who adored her. Maxim was a jock that was painfully charismatic and never seemed to date anyone. He got smashed at high school parties, and she'd DD him home with an almost feral amount of exasperation.
───────────────
"Hey, look," Max said, still drunk and breathing hot air on the window. It pooled into a thin film of moisture. "Perspiration."
"Condensation," Theresa clarified. She hit the blinker on the old car that they traveled around in. The light and its noise were entirely in the background of the rushing thoughts that tumbled through his head.
"Same thing." He blew a raspberry between his lips and then drew a smiley face in the condensation. "Look, it's happy to see you. I am--" He tried to lean up and fell backward as his balance left him. "--also happy to see you."
"None of us will be happy if you puke in this car."
"Yes, ma'am." He saluted his sister before humming to the music that was not playing.
"Max."
"What?"
"Heather broke up with me."
Max's face contorted into a mixture of brotherly concern and condemnation. He wanted to say what he thought about Heather, but he kept that buried. She didn't want to hear that. He was not so drunk that he had forgotten his manners. "I'm sorry, Reese. Do you--" he paused, almost barfing but swallowing it down "--want to talk about it?"
"Yes. I want to spend a lot of time talking about her and her stupid... beautiful face."
"That's just love--right? Stupid beautiful?" Max ho-hummed, strangely latching onto that phrase.
"You've never dated anyone in your entire life. Don't lecture me about love." She playfully snapped. "But yeah, it's really dumb. I liked being in love, though."
Max looked over to her. "And you will again, Reese. And maybe next time it won't be with someone named HEATHER."
Theresa laughed. "What's wrong with the name Heather?" Then she looked back at the road, and her brows rose. "Also, bump." The car rocked over a speedbump, and Max barely got the window rolled down in enough to vomit.
───────────────the magicMaxim had no idea what the tarot card meant when the "King of Swords" had shown up on his pillow. He thought maybe a girl he was seeing was trying to curse him. He showed it to Theresa, who hadn't joined Oak Grove Conservatory yet, and she was more excited about the prospect than he was.
After he joined the Amithis Society, he couldn't shut up about it. He was able to keep it silent to most people but not to Theresa. She became immediately invested in it, and before he knew it--she was better at the theory of magic than him, and she wasn't even in the society. Of course, that would change when she started attending Oak Grove Conservatory and was invited to join the Amithis Society. In the beginning, they reveled in the fact that they were both in a "secret society" together. Yet, as quickly as it had happened, Theresa pulled away from him. She started spending time with a strange crowd, and they no longer shared their personal lives with each other. That being said, it wasn't like Theresa cut him off entirely. They still spent a bit of time together and chatted when they could. Things had just become different... and Max didn't realize they'd become dangerous before it was too late.
───────────────
"Hey, Reese," Max said, walking into her dorm after a polite knock. He shouldn't have been surprised to see her bed unoccupied and made up as if she hadn't even spent the night there. He considered going through her things to find out what she was hiding, but he was a foot away from her desk before he stopped. They were grown-ass adults. He didn't need to help her with skint knee, a weird boy hitting her, or the flu, which she desperately tried to hide. Still, that didn't mean it didn't hurt. He ran a hand through his hair before coming up with a good idea. He took out a piece of clean paper and a pen from her desk. Then, he drew out an abjuration sigil with surprising accuracy from his large, made-for-handling football hands.
Max wiggled as far as he could under her bed and slipped it between the box springs and the slats in the middle before pulling himself out. So, maybe when she did show up and go to sleep, whatever was haunting her would leave.
───────────────the utter and complete devastation.───────────────
The officer pointed at the body, still dressed in yesterday's clothes and lying stiff on a metal bed. Her blonde hair lay flat and limp, and her eyes had been shut, sparing Max from seeing her gaze. Yet, death was already scouring her body. The gaunt shape of her cheeks, the pooling of blood around her extremities, and the way that her chin had started to collapse into her neck. Some stitches poked up from the collar, telling him that they had performed an autopsy. Why they had put her old clothes on, he didn't know. He found it comforting and revolting at the same time. They hadn't started preserving her yet, and he wanted to yell at them to do so. He couldn't let his sister fade anymore. Though she was so far from the way she had been. This object wasn't her sister. It was what was left: atoms and nothing more.
"Is this your sister, Theresa Maguire?" The cop asked.
Max only nodded.
"Are Patrick and Devorah Maguire your parents?"
He nodded.
"And they're coming to pick her up?"
He nodded again.
"Do you have anything else to add?"
He shook his head.
"Wow. Big guy like you, and I thought you'd be a bit more talkative." The cop typed on his tablet as he said that under his breath.
Max twisted his head towards him. "What do you want me to say? Yep, that's my sister, all right. Now time to go and get a brewski with the boys?"
The cop lifted his head. "Look. I get that you're grieving, so I'll let you off with a warning. But you better not run your mouth off to me again, boy."
When his parents did arrive, not only did they have to sign for everything involving Theresa, but they also had to pay bail to get Max out of jail for assaulting an officer. It had only been a couple of punches, but a couple of punches was enough for him to get locked up. They were a bit lenient considering the tragedy that had just befallen all of them, but not too lenient. Max had to sleep, shit, piss, and eat handcuffed for several days. Yet, it gave him time to cry, and it also gave him time to formulate a plan. Theresa died for something, and he'd find out what.
───────────────the new yearAgainst his parents' wishes, Max stayed at Oak Grove Conservatory. They thought it would only reopen the wound of losing his sister again and again. Yet, they didn't know about the magic. They didn't know about the secret society. And they didn't know how she died. And honestly, Max didn't either, but he was closer to the truth than they were.
So, he stayed. He was going to figure out what they were doing and why. And while he couldn't bring his sister back, he'd at least find out why she had to go.
───────────────
Atop Max's desk were only two things of interest besides all his studies. One was a picture of him and Theresa at a birthday party when they were younger. There was blue icing smeared on both of their faces and a wild laugh on both of their lips. The other object was a plain sheet of paper with an abjuration glyph drawn on it, and it had a coin-sized hole burned through the middle of it. Someone had purposefully ruined it. Max wondered why. They could have just removed it. Why ruin it? Was it a threat to him as well?
───────────────
reputationMax has a good reputation at the Oak Grove Conservatory. While he may not be the brightest candle, he does well in the necessary fields. Whenever a club needs volunteers for an event or fundraiser, he'll join in. His teachers always have good things to say, but never remarkable. Max is there and willing to put in the work, but his work isn't the best they've ever seen. Unfortunately, you don't get an A for effort. He's also probably one of the only nerds who uses the gym regularly.
As far as his reputation in the Amithis society is concerned, the only level of power he has is his seniority. He's far from what they would call "gifted." No, that would be his sister. But he is reliable. Max only sticks to two schools of magic, both to protect others. He rarely learns a spell to benefit himself. - galleryTheresa MaguireHis sister, and the only person in the world that he felt got him. She was very brilliant but very kind. And in the last few months, she'd become very secretive about whatever she was doing. Max had no idea that it would end the way it did.character nameLorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec vel tellus in mauris feugiat tempor in a magna. Fusce eu ornare urna.
