Welcome to the Beautiful Creations Character thread! Here will be the home of characters that have recently moved to the fictional town of Hartsfield, Louisiana. Click Here if you'd like to know more about this RP.

If you need any help with making a character, don't be shy to message me. I'd love to help.

Consider The Following When Making a Character

1.) Mortal characters are definitely weaker than any supernatural beings, and their knowledge of the supernatural world shouldn't be too vast if they aren't Keepers, Seers, or Bokors.

2.) If you're playing a Duchannes Caster and they are over the age of 16, they must be claimed for either the Light or the Dark. Let me know if your Caster is of another family.

3.) The affiliation of a Caster is usually heavily biased by their personality. Meaning that a Dark Caster usually possesses a colder demeanor overall, where as a Light Caster is nicer. It doesn't mean that your character has to be a dick or a saint entirely, everyone has their faults and their virtues. I encourage every applicant to be in depth about their personalities. But don't be that one to create an overly good person and have them be claimed for the Dark.

4.) I'll allow the applicants to pick their special ability themselves if the character they created has already been claimed. There are abilities that would definitely need to be scaled back and I'll let you know if you've picked one of them. Although Evo is off-limits entirely.

5.) If anyone would like for their claiming to happen IC, I'll personally evaluate your character as best as I can and decide accordingly. I'll also take the time to ask you personally what side you think your character should be on and take that into consideration when deciding.

5.) Right now, your characters are driving the course of the story, well driving on one of the many ways to reach the end of the story. That being said, I encourage sub-plots, aspirations, goals, for your characters in case you are not part of the party that is gaining foothold on the larger pieces of plot yet.

​

With that all being said, the spoilers below will help you create your character. The Main IC thread will be up asap, as well as the OOC.

Spoiler: Playable Species

Casters: A Caster is a "higher being" with the ability to use magic, known as casting. Casters are technically human, but contain a supernatural essence. Making them higher and more enlightened than normal humans. A Caster, except the Duchannes Family, is able to choose whether he or she wants to become Light (good) or Dark(evil), depending on their true nature, personality, and at any time. Casters can both theoretically and practically be considered witches, warlocks, wizards or sorcerers; however, they prefer the term Caster as it is unique and carries no Satanic innuendos as Casters have been persecuted in the past as Devil worshipers.

Caster abilities: Casters usually all possess telekinesis of some extent as well as the ability to perform basic spells (called casts) and most rituals. Besides these abilities, Casters are limited to the type of ability they manifest. These abilities are either perceived as Dark or Light, depending on their nature. But in some cases, the ability won't translate to whether the Caster is Light or Dark. Some abilities are the same as others but are referred to differently depending on the side.

• Cataclyst: Casters who are able to influence the elements and weather easily. The equivalent of a Natural who turned Dark. It is unknown if they have the exact same potential and powers as that of a Natural. (Always Dark.)

• Cypher: Casters who are able to translate any language they come into contact with, see invisible force-fields and detect a Caster SOS. (Usually Light.)

• Diviner: Casters who are able to see into the future and are the Caster equivalent of Seers. (Can be Light or Dark.)

• Empath: Casters who are able to duplicate the powers of other Casters for a certain period of time. (Can be Light or Dark.)

• Evanescent: Casters who are able to make objects disappear out of any location and make them reappear in their possession. The Caster equivalent of magicians and thieves. (Usually Dark.)

• Evo: Casters who are able to influence people, like Sirens can, but they can also Evolve/Morph into anyone they want and borrow the powers of any Caster they touch. They are incredibly powerful Casters. (More than likely to be Dark, but extremely rare.)

• Illusionist: Casters who are able to create illusions and glamours, making things look like others, without it being real. (Can be light or Dark.)

• Mindhunting: Casters who are able to roam through one's mind and sense disturbances and anomalies, they are not mind readers and the exact abilities aren't specified. (Can be Light or Dark.)

• Natural: Casters who are able to influence the elements and the weather easily. They are known as the most powerful Casters in the Caster world, they have plenty of different powers that they can awaken at any time. (Always Light.)

• Necromancer: Casters who are able to communicate with spirits and Sheers and bring them back to the world of the living. They are able to communicate with spirits and Sheers far better than a Seer could. (More than likely Dark.)

• Palimpsest: Casters that are able to see the past and present at the same time, these Casters can sometimes mix up what happened and what is happening, often being confused to others. (Almost always Light.)

• Shifter: Casters who are able to shift objects into others, temporarily or permanently. As well as their appearance. (Can be Light or Dark.)

• Siren: Female Casters who are able to bend the will of mortals through seduction and make them do or say anything they want. They are typically seductresses who utilize feminine charm and sexual allure to control men. (Always Dark.)

• Sybil: Casters who are able to discover the truth behind the lies, seeing what they have done, who they have seen, where they have been, secrets, things they are planning to do, their past, present and bits and pieces of their future and much more just by looking at a person's face. (Usually Light, but can be Dark as well.)

• Telepath: Casters who are able to read the minds of others and communicate with others by means of thinking. (Can be Light or Dark.)

• Thaumaturge: Casters who are able to heal injuries and wounds. (Almost always Light.)

Lycanthropes(Added in): More commonly known as a "werewolf", and a Dark being. An Afflicted Lycanthrope, or Lycan for short, is what a Lycan is referred to when they are exposed to natural Moon Light of the Full Moon. They become hairier, bulkier, and transform into the typical bipedal werewolf. Most of the time, a Lycan possesses a normal human appearance but are naturally stronger, and faster than humans. They also retain the heightened senses of a wolf when not afflicted.

Keepers: Mortal Humans who are tasked with upkeep of the Caster Library as well as observing their world. Once becoming a Keeper, one cannot interfere with Caster affairs or they will be ejected from their job as Keeper not allowed within the library. But they can interfere in Mortal affairs and often do prevent most Waywards from finding who they are bound to. They serve no greater purpose than observation and providing Casters with the knowledge they are seeking.

Seer: A human mortal who is able to contact the dead. They are born with this gift but their extent is limited. They are also able to tell the future via tarot cards and in some rare cases, visions. Seers are knowledgable of the Caster World and usually serve contemporary roles to aid Casters. Or they serve no role at all. They are able to create charms to ward evil sheers. All Seers are born Seers, it is not possible to become one later in life.

Wayward: An extremely rare mortal who is said to always find the way. They are like a compass, and are tasked with finding "the right path" within the Caster world. Waywards are rare because they are bound to a Caster of "great importance" but are usually killed off by Keepers that seek to keep the balance of The Order.

Incubi and Succubi: Demons that feed on blood and are unable to be out in direct sunlight. Incubi are the male of the species and are generally weaker overall than their female counterparts, the Succubus. However, an Incubus is extremely stronger than a human by a large amount. The extent of their abilities are unknown and they are almost completely indistinguishable from humans. The key differences being their black eyes when having recently consumed blood. These creatures are Dark by nature, but they possess a free will and are able to consume dreams instead of blood. Incubi and Succubi that consume dreams usually side with the Light, even though they can never be apart of it.

Bokor: Simply put, a human practitioner of voodoo and voodoo-like rituals. There are not many Bokor and are very seclusive. Not much else is known about them besides their voodoo capablities and hexes are stronger than the charms used by Seers.

Persona
Personality;
Alexandrine could only be described in the lowest words. She could only be described as sinister. She's ruthless and unsympathetic, has little regard for human life, and has no guilt or remorse with killing any of them. Very selfish, arrogant, proud, and manipulative. Yet Alexandrine has shown more of a compassionate side and an ability to feel, especially where her sibling is concerned. She still has a sadistic nature about her, and she's willing to go to any extreme to keep the few she cares about safe. She is known to be vicious, remorseless, and having a huge sadistic streak. Unlike his goodie-two-shoes sibling, Alexandrine has no qualms about killing humans. In other words, she's the “scary” sibling. Alexandrine does her best to make herself out to be just that. But truthfully she's just a misunderstood sweetheart. She doesn't want to care, and will say she doesn't but she cares, she cares a lot. She loves deeply and recklessly. She's dangerous and charming, knowing how to use her looks to get what she wants. What Alexandrine wants she generally gets. Honestly, she's lonely but she'll never complain, always one to put up a strong front. Alexandrine is pessimistic, negative and blunt. She's bold and never afraid to speak her mind. But by far her best trait is her dry, inappropriate sense of humor.

History
Alexandrine was not always the way she was now.

She was a bright, responsible loving little girl, close with her siblings and a gentle down to earth person. From the moment she was born everyone knew she was bound to be claimed for the light, for how could she ever be dark? Alexandrine had many friends, and her natural beauty attracted many. Though gentle and kind, she was neglected. When she did something for the good, nobody noticed. When she made a mistake, her father made sure she knew, comparing her to her other siblings and demanding she be more successful like them.

But alas, Alexandrine did not strive to succeed but to live. And the harsher her father got on her, the more Alexandrine changed. Even her siblings could see what was happening, but none could stop it. Alexandrine became impulsive, disrespectful of authority figures (in particular, her father), rebellious and careless. She craved the thrill of adventure and danger, and was often engaged in high risk-taking behavior like drinking, and even gambling in her early teens.

When she was fifteen, she attended a large high-school party with her friends, where someone had slipped a drug into her drink and had used her, taking away any shred of innocence Alexandrine carried. She never told anyone of the incident, too prideful to admit her moment of weakness. And to no surprise, Alexandrine was claimed for the dark on her sixteenth birthday, where she was outcasted and thrown out from the Dutchanne family. Her personality now amplified, Alexandrine fled to Paris, France. She lived recklessly and dangerously, seduced and murdered, drank and partied. She was living the life. But she was alone. And she hated it. It ate at her everyday, and after two years spent in Paris, she's returned back to Hartsfield, Louisiana. With fire in her eyes and a burning hate in her heart for her family, there's no telling what Alexandrine may do.

H I S T O R Y
................
The daughter of a light caster and dark caster, from two feuding caster families. Kate's parents, Paul Van Clease and Lilly Duchannes, lived a real life Romeo and Juliet love story. that too came with its own tragedy.

The two met when they were younge, before Lilly had been claimed, and were drawn to each other, and their forbidden love. Paul came from a family of talented casters that had hated the Duchannes for nearly a hundred years. Their families tried to keep them apart but couldn't. Paul had already chosen his path for the light, taking his talent as a Sybil, he wondered and worried about Lilly and the horrible fate her family had to suffer to never choose their own path.

Lilly thought she could out run the curse that if she could get as far away from her family as possible she would not be claimed. Paul and Lilly ran away just a month before she turned 16. But Paul was worried, it seemed the further they got the darker Lilly grew. The night of her 16th year the moon rose high in the sky to claim another Duchannes and the Dark gained one of the most powerful telepaths of that time.

Lilly ran from Paul, in fear and shame and anger. She could hear him his thoughts, she watched every thought fly through his head of what he thought their life together would like. She could never give him that so she telepathically assualted him and fled. But Paul tracked her down with in the next year. In that first meeting there was so much bliss and passion.

History
Liam was born to Margaret Duchanne and Christopher Jackson in the small town of Bandon, Oregon. But because he was a boy, he was given his father's last name instead of his mother's. He grew up as a quiet, happy boy who would rather spend all of his time drawing dragons and monsters than go outside and play with others his age. The few friends he did have were because of his parents being friends with their neighbors, who were often invited over for barbeques or to celebrate holidays. He always had a hard time caring about other people. The only two people Liam ever got attached to were his parents. Instead of experiencing empathy, and deep connections, he was taught about how he was supposed to feel. When he was six his closest friend moved away, and he was the only one in his small circle of friends who didn't cry, or was sad after she left. And when he was seven he witnessed another of his friends crash their bike into a tree and break their arm, but he didn't move to help him until he saw other people doing it. Liam got good at pretending to have a deeper relationship with others his age than he really did by the end of elementary school. He helped his friends even when they didn't ask, and he stood up for them if they didn't do it themselves.

Up until his sixteenth birthday, his mother thought her caring, empathetic son would be claimed for the Light. Liam found out what his ability was when he was two years old, and had a temper tantrum that destroyed his room. Despite his mother's best effort, he could never control it well, and took stress balls to school with him to calm him down if he got angry or annoyed. After he turned sixteen, it turned to cigarettes. At fourteen, he was given a pack of paint brushes for his birthday, and he used it everywhere. His room, his parents room, the living room. When the Dark claimed him at sixteen, his mother threw him out of the house. She closed the door in his face when he tried to reason with her, and refused to listen when his father protested. He was just a human, how could he understand? Liam gave up on pretending to care then, and he gave up on painting too.

Less than a month later, his parents were divorced. Liam dropped out of school, and without a job or any form of income, was forced into homelessness for two weeks until his father managed to track him down and all but dragged him to his apartment. Though Liam could never bring himself form any attachment like he did before, and spent most of his time avoiding him, or smoking inside and smashing an easel to pieces just to make him angry. He fled Bandon when he turned eighteen and his father gave him access to his bank account as a gift to get away from his family, and eventually ended up in Hartsfield, Louisiana, surrounded by the very family he was trying to avoid. ​

Apollo has that thing about him that draws others to him. He's one of the most popular guys in school. All because he's just a nice guy. There are a lot of people that get the impression that he's something else. They end up drawing to conclusions entirely opposite of what Apollo is. Things like him being a jerk, or him being a dumb jock. Apollo doesn't mind it though. He understands that there are going to be people who think he's too chalked up to be true.

Maybe because they're right. Apollo has a dual life of sorts. At home he's the distant son of a sick father and a mother who is never around. He's been feeling lost in another world . And for some reason, he's always searching for something that isn't there. It's like he's trying to find something no one else can see. On top of his inner angst, Apollo can feel slightly insecure at times. He's scared of his image and he's very torn between being himself, and being who everyone wants him to be. There's nothing wrong with who he is, but in the town of Hartsfield, reputation is everything.

= biography =

Sarah LeBeau was a wonderful young lady born to two loving parents in Marseille, France. Little Sarah was a kind soul who felt that love was the answer for everything. Well, it was for a while. At a young age, Sarah and her parents moved to America, more specifically South Florida, and after years of schooling in this new land, Sarah managed to get a scholarship to Louisiana State University. It wasn't until Mardi Gras of her sophomore year that Sarah would find her way to Hartsfield.

Mean while, Thomas Montgomery, the youngest son of a single mother, was struggling to get by. Between pursuing his dreams and supporting his sick mom, Thomas had a lot on his plate. His mom was growing more and more ill by the minute and he had to take on a part time job to pay for utilities. Thankfully, his older brother managed to save the day by moving back in. That allowed Thomas to chase his dream of being a blues musician. Sadly it didn't take off further than Hartsfield. But one fateful Tuesday, he'd meet the love of his life.

Mardi Gras is a big celebration in Louisiana and one of Sarah's friends had a splendid idea to party it up down in New Orleans. Now of course, none of them had much money, but the meager town of Hartsfield provided them enough of a party for the the amount of cash they were able to dish out. So they partied it up and soon enough they had found their way into an overflowing bar.

That bar was where Thomas was playing. And Sarah immediately started listening. It wouldn't be something she'd admit, but she wasn't a fan of his music. She was a fan of how much he loved performing it and how it was visible when he performed. It's what ultimately drew her to him. So while Thomas was on that stage, Sarah watched him and eventually, their eyes met. The rest was history.

The two hit it off and spent almost the entire week hanging out together. They grew close in a short amount of time, but that didn't mean Sarah was about to throw away her life for some boy she just met, even if she fancied him. Then the day came that Sarah had to go back to LSU, but she didn't do it without giving him some way to contact her. It would have to do, seeing as the circumstances just weren't right.

Throughout the many months of contact between the two, and weekend visits they each took turns taking, Thomas began growing impatient. He started applying to LSU, but it didn't take long for him to get rejected... multiple times. So he took the road less traveled and applied for a job. It would never be considered the best decision that he's made, but it was definitely worth the pay out.

It was odd for Sarah, but she adjusted to the dynamic and eventually she moved into Thomas's low-end apartment. It was a crummy place, and neither of them enjoyed it too much, but it was enough for them. After all, they just wanted to be together. So there they lived, happily ever after.

At least, for a while.

It took a few years into their relationship for them to even consider marriage. The idea of matrimony was like a glamour they almost literally couldn't afford. And right now they could barely afford their home in Baton Rouge. Meanwhile, marriage seemed like something they didn't need to solidify their love, but it was still something they were seeking. What they got instead was something entirely different.

An eviction notice is never pretty. Even if the deceptive pink coloring is a nice shade. It doesn't excuse the fact that a once homeowner was now homeless. That was the case for Sarah and Thomas. The only logical step was to move back to Hartsfield, and they did. Right into the house next to Thomas's childhood home.

The next thing the couple stumbled across was Apollo. The child was an accident in the sense that he wasn't planned, but in other words he could be seen as a blessing. And if you asked his parents, they'd reinforce the latter. Sarah didn't even show much signs of a pregnancy until late in her second trimester, about weeks after moving to Hartsfield. It was a pleasant surprise to say the least. A little scary, but they took the idea of responsibility pretty well.

Life seemed better than it was supposed to be. Little Sarah had grown up, fallen in love with a man who she thought was perfect and was about to give birth to a child. It couldn't have been any more than a dream, but it had to end. Apollo was born prematurely as well as with a heart murmur. Doctors feared he wouldn't make it, and the situation looked grim. But by some miracle, little Apollo pulled through.

Growing up, Apollo lived normally, eventually gaining the nickname "Polly".He went to school and made friends like every young child does. He grew up in and out of the hospital because of his parent's fear that he may possess an underlying heart issue. But it wasn't Apollo that they should've been worried about.

Thomas soon came down with the same sickness that his mother had been inflicted with. Apollo was only ten when his father was hospitalized the first time. Thirteen when his father went in for surgery. And soon, he found out that it was a pancreatic disease that was hereditary within Paternal Grandmother's family. As time went on, it got harder and harder to see his father become ill. Thomas was bed-ridden for months on end throughout Apollo's childhood.

Eventually, the sickness slowed down, and treatments became better. Sarah was able to keep them afloat at the cost of her being home. It put a damper on moods but the three adjusted. A few years would pass before another incident would happen again, and in those few years, Apollo would discover a passion for music like his father. Boy did that make Thomas happy to hear, and unlike with his father, Sarah enjoyed listening to her son's voice.

Now, Apollo is juggling school and working a part time job at the town's one fast-food restaurant: A little Dairy Queen a few blocks down the street, and also the resident "Hang-Out".

  Abilities: Most standard human abilities.
  
• 
  
  
  Gender: Male
  Height: 6'2"
  Weight: 180 lbs
  Defining Features: A slouch that cuts his height to 5'11"
  Tattoos/Piercings: None. "Those things aren't exactly becoming of me."
  
• 
  Personality: A Keeper, Rowan loves to learn and goes out of his way to attain new knowledge. He also enjoys imparting knowledge. Helping a Caster along with whatever they need brings satisfaction to Rowan. He is also extremely protective of his library. Rowan will not tolerate any damage or disregard to the books. Other than his feelings for knowledge, Rowan shares little emotion. Impartial to all who walk into the walls of the library, he does not favor nor discriminate against Casters of Light or Dark attribute. Usually polite, Rowan is unafraid to be curt with those who do not know how to behave in a library.
  
  Likes:
  
  • Learning
  • Teaching
  • Books
  • Tea
  • Instrumental Music
  Dislikes:
  
  • Destruction of books. "Damage of Library property WILL NOT be tolerated."
  • Unnecessary violence/fooling around. "This is a library. Not a playground."
  • Loudness. "Please use headphones and keep your voice volume to a minimum."
  • Spicy/Salty Foods "It's just not my taste."
  Strengths:
  
  • Sharp Mind: Rowan excels at quick cognitive functions. He can make decisions and calculate risks in a brief moment. Under stressful conditions, Rowan can maintain concentration on any task at hand.
  • Excellent Memory: A vast well of knowledge resides in Rowan's brain. He can remember information quickly as well as recall it.
  • Astute Observation: Rowan is very keen at seeing small details. Small changes in body language can reveal if someone is lying to him. While he is not completely a lie detector, he is pretty good at differentiating facts from bullshit. "It's also handy to recognize when someone left a small stain on a book even though EATING IS PROHIBITED IN THE LIBRARY!"
  Weaknesses:
  
  • Knowledge Above All: Rowan may disregard others in the pursuit of knowledge and may even sacrafice himself in order to preserve the library.
  • Mere Human: Even by human standards, Rowan is not exceptionally strong or fast.
  • Impartial: Being a Keeper, Rowan will not interfere in Caster affairs. Even if he likes you, Rowan avoids getting involved or picking sides. Unless seeking knowledge, he is no true ally.
  Relationships: None currently
  
• 
  Always a bookworm, Rowan had his nose in a book even since he could read. An excellent memory and a voracious reader, Rowan breezed through textbooks, absorbing the knowledge within and excelling at his schoolwork. Learning new things was an achievement to Rowan, and he relished in expanding his knowledge. Rowan, when he was able to work, devoted himself to the local library. There, he could learn more and help repair books. To him, knowledge lost meant knowledge he couldn't learn.
  
  As Rowan grew and continued to work at the library, he heard rumors of the supernatural. This piqued his interest and shifted his reading diet to the more fictional. He never fully believed that magic or wizards were real until he had an actual encounter with one. A Caster had let their emotions get the better of them and a blast of magical outburst knocked Rowan off his feet in an alleyway while he was throwing out discarded packaging. Seeing that Rowan had become exposed to the supernatural world and eager to learn, he was offered to become a Keeper. A position in which Rowan accepted without hesitation.
  
  Rowan has been a Keeper for a couple of years now and greatly enjoys it. He maintains and reads the vast knowledge of Casters kept in the library. From magical history (The Duchannes family history is particularly captivating) to spells and rituals. There's quite enough information to satiate Rowan's desire for knowledge. Even better, he gets to observe Casters and learn about them first hand.

○ Oliver G. Rhys ○ "The Ellusive Man" ○

Name: Oliver Gareth Rhys
Nicknames: "Ollie" on occasions,but he hates being called it. "The Ellusive Man" by his enemies and fellow casters.

____________________________________
Gender: Male
Height: 6'4
Weight: 187lbs
Defining features: His left eye is badly injured, and is a blood-clouded red. Causing blindness in the eye. In human form, he usually dones glasses with the right lense being solid black to cover the gruesome eye. Though as any other living being he shifts into, his eye is his signature to know who your dealing with.


Personality: Oliver is a cold-hearted, sardonic man who follows his own agenda. Charming, and manipulative, he's as slippery as a serpent. As he charms you, he'll get the information he seeks without you even realizing it. And when you do, he'll be gone before you could even cry for help. This factor is the inspiration of his nickname, and the name most casters know him as. Though he isn't purely evil, sometimes striding the anti-hero path if it suits him, Oliver will always be a dark caster. And forever cold.

His eye, can be blindsided as well as recognized if it isn't covered.

Kara- Wife- Deceased
Damian- Enemy- (alive and location unknown)
( i'm open to any ideas for y'alls characters!)​

____________________________________________

Oliver grew up in a weathly family off the coast of Dublin. The eldest of 4 other siblings, Oliver always knew he would be well off in life. His father and mother were both Light Casters, expected each of their children to follow suit. And once he was of proper age, the family anxiously prepared him. But Oliver wanted more in life, he could feel a burning within him to break from his family's ideals. And so, his fate was chosen along the darker path. To his parents surprise, in order to prevent their other children from following suit, they have their eldest son his inheritance, and casted him out of the family. The first years alone were Oliver's worst years, unsure of what to with himself, he fell down a dark path. Doing odd jobs, and beginning to build his repertoire. But one day his world changed. Meeting a fellow Dark Caster, named Kara Nolan, who seemed to lighten his world. To him, she was as bright and joyful as the Sun, and to her Oliver was cool and stunning like the Moon. The two were inseparable soon after, traveling the world together, and doing whatever they pleased. They married shortly after, seeing as they were soulmates, and they continued on their journey. But the two grew tired eventually, and decided to settle in the French countryside to raise a family. And Oliver shortly became a expecting father. But tragedy struck once more. A Dark caster named, Damian, who Oliver blackmailed and robbed in his younger, more careless days,wanted revenge. This resulted in his wife and child's death, and the signature scar. But he would've taken hundreds of scars if it meant his dead Kara was alive. Engulfing himself in a malicious rage, he scoured the Earth for the man. Though over the years the rage simmered into icy bitterness, the fire still burns within him to do what the man did to his family...
_________________________________________________
I would like to note that I for one have not read the books, but have seen the movie. So idk if that helps or not? Also if any questions arise about Oliver please feel free to pm me!​

in depth—

history.... Maya was put up for adoption immediately after her mother gave birth to her. with no knowledge of her biological parents, the adoption agency was unable to provide her foster family with any history of their new child. still, a family living comfortably in the heart of South Carolina chose her as their second child to adopt. In the years to come, her family would adopt three other children, unable to have any of their own.
It wasn't a secret that they were all adopted, not even when they were young. For as long as she could remember, though, Maya had longed to know her history, her biological parents. She loved her brothers, sisters, and foster parents but she still felt a void they could not fill, a curiosity they didn't share.
Throughout middle school she was constantly questioned and occasionally bullied on her ethnicity and relation to her foster parents. By the time she reached high school she decided it was easier to keep it a secret much to her family's distaste. She quickly grew away from her siblings and developed close friendships with her peers in school. It was during her sophomore year of high school when she discovered her ability to heal others and perhaps the reason she felt so disconnected from the family that raised her.
After graduating high school, Maya decided to leave her family and their ideals behind and choose a path of her own. With only the money she was able to save up throughout school, she begins to travel the world working odd jobs and meeting all sorts of people, many of which she offers her help to.

Spoiler: Charles Duchannes/A mostly done WIP

Basic Info
Name: Charles Duchannes
Age: 15
D.O.B: November 28th
Species: Caster
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Abilities: Exhibits many different abilities, possibly Empath

Appearance
Gender: Male
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 130
Defining features: Crescent-Shaped birthmark on left shoulder.
Tattoos/Piercings/Etc: None

Persona
Personality:

Charles is the typical detached angry teen. He's almost all doom and gloom and he has strong reason to be. He has no choice in anything that has to do with his life, literally. It's a sad reality that forced to Charles to face many things so out of his control. It's that way a lot with Charles. He doesn't have a good sense of judgement but impeccable hindsight, and is prone to getting himself into messes that someone else has to clean.

But he doesn't want to be the angry teen who's always getting into trouble. The thought of change alone forces him to try desperately to fix his own mistakes. Often making them worse. And in addition to that, he's been trying to take on the world, even though it's heavier than he had thought. He understands the fact that he's not capable of so much at his age, but he doesn't seem to care.

Now while Charles is undoubtedly a handful, he has his virtues. He wouldn't hurt an innocent person, even if he hates them. He rarely ever lies because he sees no reason to. He's eerily brave, which is expressed in his recklessness. But he would have never become so brave if it weren't for his mother, Caroline. She was a Dark Caster of great power, one that nearly rivaled Valorie's, and she would always feed terrible thoughts into the boy's mind. It would create a whirlwind of insecurities inside of him, and while normal children would've gave into thoughts like his mother's, Charles learned from them.

Each thought was scarier than the last, and each one would push Charles to harden his interior. He would learn the necessities of being detached, but as he grew older he would be taught new things by Duchannes that all gave him a chance. Things like compassion for a person who definitely didn't deserve it. It would shape Charles to withdraw himself from those who were toxic, but not to engage others so that they wouldn't be hurt by him either.

He know's he isn't a good person, he just doesn't want to care.

Relationships
Caroline Duchannes (Mother) — A literal witch of a woman, and also Charles' mother. She was the only Evo to appear in years, but she wasn't strong enough to fulfill her dreams of domination. So she made Charles. She never bonded with the child, despite carrying him for nine months. While she lacked the maternal love for the kid, she did her best to protect the boy, all while shaping him to be claimed by the dark.

Kathrine Elizabeth Duchannes (Most Recent Guardian) — a sort of not-wanted/under appreciated surrogate sister for Charles. He's been in the care of Kathrine for a little over a while now and while he cares deeply for her, but he still isn't above making it easy to take care of him. Part of the reason is how he was raised as a child, seeing as how Charles has had little to no true maternal figure before Kate and he finds it hard to ease up the way he acts.

Valorie Duchannes (Most Recent Guardian) — The most powerful Light Caster to date. Also one of the most elusive Duchannes to ever live. Valorie isn't Charles'Legal Guardian and she sure doesn't act like it. If anything she acts somewhat like Caroline in the sense that she's almost never around. But the difference between the two women is that Valorie doesn't impose her will on the boy. She rather let the boy explore the world himself.

History

Charles' mother was a mental case. She was once a nice young girl that went by the name of Zoey Duchannes. On her sixteenth birthday, young Zoey was claimed for the Dark, despite all the good she felt that she was. Her family that had visited her for her birthday tried to console and said that 'it was set in stone'. Well Zoey didn't find their words comforting. So she did the only reasonable thing she could think of.

She killed them.

Over the years, Zoey's mind deteriorated and she adopted her true name of Caroline. She wrecked whatever havoc she could, anywhere she went. Eventually she began a hostile takeover of the family, but it didn't work. So she devised a plan to bring the family down by another means. Thus, Charles was born.

Caroline only cared about her own needs, she never settled anywhere, and for a while she let Charles go malnourished. The toddler of a boy almost died on numerous occasions because of his mother's lifestyle. Caroline would purposefully force ideas into his mind, thoughts of destruction and utter devastion. Just so she could try and breed a bitter child who would undoubtedly become Dark.

But in a strange way, Caroline would only go so far as to brainwash him. In the deepest darkest recess of her heart, she could never bring herself to hurt the boy too bad. So she would stay distant, only ever appearing before him to give him food or to teach him something new about his abilities. She knew that Charles was going to be exceptional from an early age and it excited her to see that her plan would succeed.

That is until a relative sought out Charles. Rudy Duchannes, a Diviner, saw a vision of a possible future. One where Caroline was right. Rudy did everything she could. She asked for the help of her sisters, and together they vanquished Caroline. With the creator of the threat gone, Rudy and her sisters took Charles to live with them. But with everything the boy had heard from his mother, he acted out.

Charles was a storm of a child, but eventually he calmed down. It still wasn't enough to change Rudy's vision, so she began sending him off, further and further. He never grew attached to anyone because of this and Rudy's vision would always stay the same. Until the day that Rudy moved to Hartsfield. The vision became blurred, something was supposed to happen there. And now it was just a matter of time.

Now, Charles has been living in Crestwood Manor with his "auntie" Valorie for a little over a year.

Edit: I haven't written an angsty character like this is a while and he's rough around the edges. Like really rough, I'm still smoothing him out.

Anyways, all the links should work now. The OOC is up and I'll be making a Discord Server to post updates on.

 

[merveille]

hi! could I make a light caster who isn't from the Duchannes family?

 

[Retro-Grey]

Yeah, be my guest merveille
