[AU Contest] November 2016: Canon Deviation

Character being adapted: Jett Lavelle
Link to original character application: link
Difference Explanation: How could Jett's life turn out if he had never been attracted to the idea of power enough to pursue becoming a Skinwalker?

Name: Ezhno (given name), Jett Lavelle (used name)
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Profession: Criminal Defense Attorney

Appearance Description: Jett is pretty much always smiling, and when he's not, his expression can be described as understated and soft. It's a damn good thing he gives off an approachable aura, though, because or his eyes might startle people. Pitch black. They are, undoubtedly, the first hint that something isn't quite right with him.

His brunette hair is long (to his upper back) and tied in a traditional tsiiyéél (a bun which is wrapped in sheep's wool yarn). He can often be seen in his room or other serene locations combing his hair; he takes very good care of it. He has no facial hair, not that it matters, he's one of those guys who can't ever grow a full beard. Due to his lack of facial hair, Jett comes off looking younger than he is.

His lips are on the thinner side, and his nose is just a tad too full at the tip. His usual style involves jeans and casual shirts or sweaters. His clothes, much like his hair, is taken care of and orderly.

Physique-wise, he's a slim man. No real fat, but no amount of impressive muscle either. He's not quite in bony status, but he'd be closer to that than muscular.

Personality Description: Some people might describe Jett as hyperactive and flighty. He follows his whims and is easily distractible when he deems something unimportant. He has a weakness for fun, such as tricks and pranks, even when he knows whatever is entertaining is wrong.

There's always something comical to Jett's approach of things. He's a fan of theatrics and mixed with his obvious attempt at normality; he can come off like a cartoon character. And hey, he's okay playing that role. It's hilarious and gets some priceless reactions. Don't take this silliness as a sign that Jett can't be a threat. Sure, he takes most of his failures in good, but when pushed far enough he's relentless in what he considers to be retribution.

Charismatic and a jokester at heart make him easily likable by others. He'll talk to just about anyone and isn't ashamed of any topic he may bring up. It's a good indication that his base personality is not that of his culture or the mask he wears to pretend it is. Sometimes, he tries to pretend he is offended or shocked by topics that really, truly interest him. There's just something off here.

Powers:

Biography:
- Born with the name Yiska (meaning the night has passed). Later, in his adolescent years received the name Ezhno, due to his solitary nature.

- As a child, Jett was always fascinated by the idea of power and magic. This is especially troublesome on the reservation he grew up in, due to the idea of Skinwalkers.

- By the time he was a teenager, he had taken up Shamanism as an outlet. This helped him to maintain a semblance of normality and gave him a goal to work today so he could stave off his nastier habits.

- Received an invitation to Starlight Academy at the age of seventeen and decided to move to Manta Carlos against his parents and his communities wishes.

- Once on Manta Carlos, he lost contact with the reservation, never bothering to send them any information or attempt any communication.

- Studied law in college to become a criminal defense attorney and later started up a small law firm.

Character being adapted: Tamara Nagi
Link to original character application:http://159.65.241.122/index.php?threads/5624
Difference Explanation: This AU is a timeline divergence where Tamara never had the chance to meet Tucker some 300 years ago. Tucker wouldn’t have been able to prevent her from being able to use her magic or influence her in any way but Tamara’s old age eventually catches up to her. Her personality still leads back similarly to her canon one, but in a more natural development rather than it being forced on her.
Notes: Tamara is using a different body than the one she has in canon--a boy who eventually got scouted to the academy after Tamara had begun exploring the boy's abilities. While the student is still alive, Tamara overpowers his control with her own. Most of the time. Also, canon Tamara is just low-key a jerk, this AU Tamara is high-key a jerk.

Name: Tamara Nagi
Age: 2000+
Gender: Neutral
Species: Parasite
Profession: Student

Appearance Description:
Tamara's current vessel is a young man, about the age of 20 with a lean build as to her liking. She's stands at a height of about 5'7", with broad shoulders to a slim waist, and slightly toned muscles for someone as athletic. Her hair is a bit of a tousled mess of chestnut brown that she tames with hair gel when she’s in command. (This is one among many of their arguments because her vessel doesn’t like putting hair products.) Her blue eyes are sparkling and lively, giving off a cheerful vibe to her. Upon closer inspection, her thin lips have rune-like markings that appear almost as the cracks on the skin. She dresses in casuals, loose-fitting and easy to move in—in the case of their uniform: they wear what is recommended, but very loosely.

Personality Description:
Tamara is usually a mature and responsible individual, able to keep herself in check as well as being able keep her guise of being a regular (but magical) college boy. She can claim that she and her vessel's personality do not differ much, except of course that she speaks with wisdom that spans two thousands of years, whereas the boy only has 20 on him. She is proud--very proud that sometimes she could act rather childish about it. Tamara likes flaunting her centuries of knowledge, shamelessly acting high and mighty before others, and taking offense from those who question her. Although, she does end up appearing ignorant when there are new things introduced to her.

She doesn't care for anyone else but herself — and it shows. The only person she would show some concern for other than herself would be her vessel. But he doesn't trust her. They have some sort of… hot and cold relationship going on though half the time the boy has to relent. She tends to be manipulative of the people around her, either simply as a playful gesture, or outright stringing them up to do as she wishes while still trying to make it look normal, much to her vessels' displeasure. She's a bit hedonistic, allowing her impulses to take the reins, jumping into one thing after another like there were no consequence (or just YOLO). She ends up in constant fights with her vessel for many reasons that include this. Tamara has a strong connection to the Earth and its (non-human) inhabitants, finding peace with nature and the earth itself.

Powers:
Tamara has ancient knowledge of runic magic she can use with relative ease. Her body on the other hand could use a little more adjustment. Her vessel is one that has very high magic potential but much to her chagrin, runic magic isn't fully compatible with it as the body isn't fully in tune with the earth as her soul is. She can still cast strong spells, but at the expense of her control over the body for a certain amount of time ranging from a few hours to a few days, though no more than a week.

Species Abilities:
Tamara is a parasite — her soul is immortal but her body is not. She thrives by latching onto bodies and using them as her own. Her current vessel is a living person which means she has to fight for control for most of the day (she at least gives it time to sleep) but she has the advantage of being able to keep it alive as long as she sustains it naturally. She can readily move between bodies any time she wants after having remained in one body for an estimated 24 hours. She can in fact adapt the abilities of her vessels and mold it in her own pace though it requires her to learn control in some cases. Her current vessel is inherently a mortal human but it allows her to use magic spells of a different variety than what she knows.

Biography:
Tamara's history traces back into the times of the Mayan civilization. She was hailed as a priestess of her city of birth, loved and respected by both the common folk and the leaders. But their trust was broken when Tamara betrayed them all for the promise of Eternal Life. She sacrificed all souls in their city for her spirit to become immortal.

She fled the city and traveled the world in search of powerful mages and wizards to take control of, only to fail countless times. She passed many years, growing angry at how the world devolved from the pristine life she once had to mayhem and chaos. She wanted to change everything by her own hands. In the centuries that passed she suffered too, starved, betrayed, abandoned. In time she came to (begrudgingly) accept that the world couldn't be salvaged and she couldn’t attain any form of infinite cosmic power to bring it to an end. So in the centuries that followed, she resigned herself to watching it burn itself to the ground while she kept herself alive, only so that she could be there to mock it all.

She found her current vessel three years prior. He wasn't too welcoming about the new "roommate" once she had possessed him but she couldn't bring herself to care. She wanted to stay alive for the end of the world after all. Of course, when the boy was scouted for Starlight Academy, she had to go with him.

This is actually Chloe. The major change is that her parents were not supportive of Chloe's gender identity and did not help her go through with a male-to-female transition. Also I felt like non-trans Chloe would become a full demon way sooner than canon Chloe so that happened too.

Name: Connor Baltimore
Aliases Formerly Connor Black. His true name as a demon is "Nikuzamach."
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Species: Demon
Class: College Freshman
College Major: Forbidden Arts / Economics double major, with several language minors

Appearance Description: Connor's appearance is highly variable, owing to his ability to shapeshift. He is usually a 5'10" young man with black hair and green catlike eyes. Depending on his mood, he will or will not grow short black horns out of his forehead. Connor generally emulates the fashion sense of his father's avatar, Gabriel Baltimore.

Nikuzamach's true demonic form looks something like a stereotypical demon, with cloven hooves, horns and a pointed tail. He is enormous, as tall as a skyscraper, with musculature like a sculpture of Michelangelo's. He is covered in shining golden armor like his father's. This form only exists in hell, and it always exists there; "Connor" is at this point only an avatar of Nikuzamach.

Personality Description: Connor is clever and he knows it, and he loves to lord it over others. He loves to flex his debate skills, whether or not he's arguing for a position he agrees with. When he is determined to get something, he can be ruthless and manipulative. His default position is to treat people with dignity and respect, unless they're in his way or they belong to him in some sense; in these cases his apparent respect for them can go out the window very quickly.

Connor is insecure about his masculinity and his sexuality. He tries to avoid any sort of behavior that he perceives as "girly" or "gay," sometimes showing open revulsion at the suggestion of such things. This earns him constant teasing from his father, who occasionally takes the form of a female and who has relationships with several men. Connor can turn into a woman, but the thought of doing so terrifies him, and much of his revulsion towards homosexuality stems from internalized homophobia that he has yet to grow out of.

Powers / Species Traits: shapeshifting, wish-granting, and goetic demon characteristics as with his father.

Additionally, Connor / Nikuzamach is compelled to follow his father's commands, being incapable of defying him or openly acting against him. He has much less power than his father does.

Biography:

When Connor was very young, he didn't relate very well to his male peers. He spent a lot more time with the girls, and he even once told his parents that he wanted to be a girl.

His parents told him that was stupid. They panicked a little. No sone of theirs would grow up as some kind of homosexual. They told him he had to act like a boy, and with more and more insistence crushed his aberrant behavior underfoot until he grew into a good, well-adjusted boy.

At the age of fifteen, Connor learned that he wasn’t a normal human. His legs rearranged themselves, painfully, into digitigrade legs with clawed toes. He grew horns and a tail. He didn’t live in a world with Starlight Academy or the Manta Carlos islands, but it did have another sort of Academy. In his world, demons were not common, but a sort of super-human was: a kind of “homo superior,” kept secret from the general population. The US government of his world assumed him to be one of these, and after containing the news of his dramatic changes had him sent to a school for that kind of child, whether he and his parents wanted him to go or not.

Connor adjusted well enough to school at this place, but he was certainly a minority within a minority. Virtually none of these other children’s “gifts” left them permanently altered. They all believed that he could shapeshift (he couldn’t) and would not allow him to leave campus until he had figured out how to look normal. Just as he was re-establishing himself, less than a year after his abrupt changes, he was dragged yet again from everything he knew. A freak summoning accident caused by Lochlann Cabyll-Ushtey resulted in Connor appearing at Starlight Academy, in another plane of reality entirely from where he grew up.

He learned that this drunk idiot was trying to summon a pretty succubus. Clearly, Lochlann had fucked up – but not quite as hard as Connor believed initially. Soon, Connor learned that demons and magic were real things in this world, and also that he had entered a completely different world from his home. He didn’t adjust well at first. It was a crisis for his Christian faith, as well as for his sanity. Only the latter survived. When classes started up again after the winter break, though, he began to do very well.

Meeting his real father was either the best or the worst thing that could have happened to him. It was over spring break. Some people who had managed to befriend him dragged him to the beach, and that was where they met. They could sense each other. After a rocky start, they began to realize that they were actually father and son, and Gabriel tried to reach out to his son. He sucked Connor into an underworld full of sex and drugs, gave his son a taste of the power he had as a Goetic duke.

It intoxicated Connor. He started to look up to his father, craving the power and immortality that Gabriel promised him as his heir. On his eighteenth birthday, Connor allowed Gabriel to transform him into a full demon. He is continuing to take classes at Starlight Academy, wanting to pick up some useful skills here before moving on to practice the family business.

Character being adapted: Storm Clarisse Haywood
Link to original character application:http://159.65.241.122/index.php?threads/storm-clarisse-haywood.11425/
Difference Explanation: Storm is completely consumed by her rage at how the Moonlight Clan mistreated her.

Name: Storm Moonlight
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Species: Werewolf
Profession: None

Appearance Description: Stands at 5’ 5” with unkempt white hair, piercing blue eyes, and is not nearly as muscular as her canon counterpart. While she is fairly strong, she does not have the opportunity to exercise or maintain the proper diet to sustain canon Storm’s body.

Personality Description: An absolute monster who cannot control herself. The way the Moonlight Clan treated Storm broke her, and left her with an anger that constantly shows in her expressions and actions.

Perhaps there is some small chance of hope in reforming Storm, as Dr. Clarisse Haywood has begun to see, but it may be a long time before Storm will be suitable for release into Manta Carlos society…if it ever happens.

Powers:
Werewolf: Storm has the capacity to change her form between a human, a regular wolf, and a werewolf. She can allow certain wolf characteristics to show in her human form: such as ears, tail, and fangs.

Berserker: Among the Moonlight Clan, there are a rare few werewolves who can access their werewolf form without needing to wait for the full moon. Storm’s werewolf form is fueled by intense hatred and rage; her need to destroy those around her and devour them is never sated. Even though Storm was so young, her werewolf form and the hatred that drove her were far stronger than any among her clan could hope to match.

Species Abilities:
Has heightened senses, more strength and speed than the average human, and a connection to fellow werewolves and wolves.

Biography:

Warning: Sexual assault of a minor, forced pregnancy, violence involving cannibalism.

Storm’s history begins similarly to her canon: she was born into a strict, cult-like werewolf clan where every member is given a specific role. Storm was given the unfortunate role of a breeder. She was being brutally raped on a regular basis by the Alpha of the clan as soon as she was capable of getting pregnant, even though she was basically still a child. She resented the way the Alpha and the clan as a whole treated her as a sex slave—forced through miscarriages before giving birth to a baby girl. She knew the Alpha had given the girl the name ‘Adelyn’, but otherwise Storm knew nothing of the child and had no opportunity, nor ability, to bond with her.

Resentment grew in Storm. She wanted to destroy the Alpha and his entire clan. The opportunity came when the Alpha was once again attempting to force himself upon her. All of Storm’s anger came to a head, and she found through sheer willpower that she could shift into her werewolf form without a full moon. It sent her into a completely frenzied berserk mode that completely tore the Alpha to shreds. It was not only enough to kill him, but Storm devoured his body. She swallowed down his flesh and organs until she was satisfied that he was not only dead, but gone.

But her hunger was not sated. She wanted more. She went after the rest of the clan. They tried to fight her off, but even a whole clan of wolves were no match for Storm’s strength and rage. No one was spared—not even the pups. Not even her pup that she had given birth to only days ago—crushed in Storm’s jaws with one bite.

Storm lived off the bodies of her dead clan members for a while, but eventually she had to move on to new prey once she had devoured them all. It was when humans began to disappear in the area at an alarming rate that Manta Carlos intervened. There was no way that the disappearances were just from wolf attacks. Storm was becoming a threat to the Veil of Secrecy, and a task force was sent in to capture her.

Storm has been at the Behavioral Corrections Facility since then. She remains highly violent and efforts to rehabilitate her have been slow. For a long time, it seemed rather hopeless for Storm to ever be able to be introduced back into society.

There has been one doctor in the facility though, Dr. Clarisse Haywood, who has managed to make some progress with Storm. Dr. Haywood managed to slowly pull information about the Moonlight Clan from Storm, and what drove her to destroy every wolf within it. Dr. Haywood became highly sympathetic to Storm, and began to focus most of her attention on the werewolf. There even came a point where Storm was able to be in the same room as the doctor without heavy restraints.

In the span of two years, Dr. Haywood was finally the one to make a major breakthrough with Storm. For once, Storm showed an emotion other than hatred and rage. She cried. Remorse? Guilt? Storm could not explain herself.

She could only say one thing:

“Her name was Adelyn…”

Difference Explanation: Thresher never has his condition clarified to him.
Notes: Any other notes you'd like to make.

Name: The Forest Guardian
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Species: Savage Werewolf
Profession: Territorial Animal

Appearance Description: He prefers to stay in his wolf form casually, takes on his were form when fighting, and, rarely, shifts to human form to deal somewhat peacefully with others. He also bares many, many more scars.

Personality Description: He is highly territorial, and typically cautious of any other creature at best. Violent outbursts are commonplace, and thus far any attempts to soothe or tame him have been met with hostilities.

Powers: Shape Shifting, Minor Supernatural Healing, Lunatic Invigoration.

Species Abilities: Heightened Senses, Cold Tolerance, Wolf Years.

Biography: The wolf that came to be known as the Forest Guardian was captured and brought to Manta Carlos more for the safety of others. Released into the forbidden forest, He quickly became something of a dominant force in the shallower areas. He considers much of the forest his territory, and reacts to anything entering them, most often violently.

Character being adapted: Vincenzo Maria Fontana
Link to original character application:http://159.65.241.122/index.php?threads/vincenzo-maria-fontana.8349/
Difference Explanation:

In this AU, Vincenzo gets picked up by the scouts at the age of fifteen, not too soon after he was sexually assaulted and exchanged his eye to Algrogath instead of getting picked up in his early twenties.

This makes all the difference in the world. Vincenzo was in a steady downward spiral his entire life, and in this AU, he gets saved at a point where saving him could still make a difference instead of reaching a complete breaking point. Vincenzo turns into a saint that’s eternally grateful for being taken out of his old life instead of the nasty supervillain he is currently. However, he’s not completely safe because Algrogath’s already put one foot in his mind and he’s not leaving.

Notes: Any other notes you'd like to make.

Name: Vincenzo Maria Fontana
Nickname: Angel
Age: 26
Gender: Genderfluid, dmab
Species: Human
Profession: School Staff – Medical, Counselor

Appearance Description:

Vincenzo stands at 6’1”ft and he looks like an angel, with his wavy blonde hair and pretty face. He has the demeanor to match it, too. He has perfect posture and does everything in his life with a natural grace. He prefers to keep his clothes simple, favoring light colors like whites and blues.

Vincenzo wears a black eyepatch with a white cartoon eye drawn on top of it, and underneath it, he has a monster eye with a black sclera and a gold iris. Even with the eyepatch, Vincenzo wears glamour to hide it and give him the appearance of two perfectly normal purple eyes.

Personality Description:

> Humble, with an underlying degree of confidence. Vincenzo is naturally smart, knowledgeable, and capable especially in his chosen field of study. He has a hard time admitting he’s wrong, but will concede defeat if the logic presented against him has a solid basis.

> Righteous and compassionate. Vincenzo concerns himself with how others are treated. Since he’s been treated badly in an institution, Vincenzo may even betray loyalties (in this case, Starlight Academy) if his morals decide that its rules can only hurt, not help. Good =/= Lawful, and Vincenzo wants to be good.

> Sensitive. Vincenzo feels too much. Small, friendly interactions and loud voices are magnified tenfold for him. He rarely thinks of his good deeds as ‘good’, seeing them as only right, while he tends to think people’s bad moods are because of him. He thinks people are fragile and delicate, that he’s a monster, and he could hurt them if he even so much as says something bad. He has a great fear of being disliked. People think he’s a pushover, because of this.

> Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Vincenzo was sexually assaulted when he was young, so he’s learned to be sex-repulsed. He also has an irrational fear of being in a room alone with stronger or older men. He prefers to counsel students that have been assaulted, mentally, physically or sexually.

> Needy. Despite being repulsed by sex, Vincenzo craves intimacy, platonic and especially romantic. He’s grown up attributing his worth to his desirability. Vincenzo loves being seen as good, beautiful, intelligent, and, almost as a paradox, sexually desirable. He often mentally shuts down when his partners want to pursue sex with him, but he’s too afraid to say no. He will even use sex as a bargaining chip sometimes.

> Crumbling mind. Vincenzo will never tell this to anyone, but Algrogath’s magic is slowly destroying his mind. Because of this, Vincenzo ends up spacey and forgetful. At times, his memories get replaced or his moods become erratic. Anyone that knows Vincenzo tend to view him as a little nuts, but a good man.

Powers:

EQUIVALENT EXCHANGE

Power doesn’t come cheap. Vincenzo has traded several of his things to the Eldritch Abomination Algrogath to become more powerful and rise above his situation.

Heirloom : Bail

Power: Decoy

Vincenzo can put up one copy of himself anywhere at all and make it last for 24 hours. This form will either be completely solid or hollow depending on its purpose. It will disappear automatically after the 24th hour, when it gets severely injured or when Vincenzo disables the magic. This form does not have access to his abilities and he can only do this once day.

Price: An ancient magical pendant that belonged to the Fontana Family

Toll to his health: Vincenzo has zero control of what this decoy would do. In fact, this is completely controlled by Algrogath. You’d think having an Eldritch Abomination run around with your face would be the lesser evil, but try coming home a criminal and having several bizarre crimes pinned on you. Hahaha, whoops.

Eye : The All-Seeing Eye

Power: The power to see rifts in this dimension and spirits, and, to a lesser degree, aura, powerful magic, minor illusions and glamour.

Exactly what the heading said. Rifts are sensitive holes in this dimension that act as doorways to nearby parallel dimensions. Vincenzo’s magic is not so refined that he could cross dimensions so easily, but he can use the lesser rifts to hide in pocket dimensions. Sometimes, there are minor rifts left by people that know how to teleport. He can travel through them but he doesn’t know where the other end would lead and how long the rift would stay often. He can also accidentally enter fourth dimensional planes with non-Euclidean geometry. Those planes are very dangerous and filled with monsters that would want to tear him apart or drive him insane. He usually errs on the side of caution regarding this power.

Spirits are not limited to the deceased. He can also see astral projections and supernatural spirits.

Price: The vision in his right eye

Toll to his health: Several. When both of his eyes are open, his depth perception and sense of direction are terrible, and his vision is a mess of spirits and rifts. He is looking at the world simultaneously in the spirit world and the material plane. In order to properly use this power, he has to cover one of his eyes with an eyepatch.

Being able to see all sorts of disturbing things all the time can mess a man up. This power has taken a huge toll to his mental health. Vincenzo dislikes letting his right eye see things as he’ll be riddled with paranoia and hallucination for days. It stresses him out to the point that his organs don’t work properly.

HEALING MAGIC

Ever since leaving Europe, Vincenzo has been so thankful to the school that he pursued the healing arts with intense vigor. Vincenzo has since then graduated SA with a degree in Medicinal Arts. He’s a genius magical healer, able to heal severe injuries, fatal diseases, and even dispel minor curses. The technical details of this power is very complicated. Vincenzo has to consider external factors and implications or else the process could go wrong. For example, Vincenzo has to set bones properly or else the meat and blood will heal incorrectly, resulting in deformity or worse. Healing could take a day or more depending on the severity of the problem.


Biography:

> Grew up in Sicily, Italy to the Fontana family at their Estate. They own a farm and are well-off.
> Parents were unhappy with marriage. They took this out on Vincenzo.
> Magic ran in the genes, but they were discouraged. His grandmother always hurt him for doing magic.
> One day, his mom kills herself. He goes to the crime scene and holds the murder weapon. When his father arrives, he assumes Vincenzo murdered her.
> His father ships him off to a boarding school for bastard children.
> He can’t get along with the other boys, so he gets sent to an attic room.
> He finds out one wall is boarded up. It’s a ritual circle.
> Gives his family heirloom to the Eldritch living in the other side of the wall for decoy powers.
> The powers let him have a day off, but his decoy fucked things up. He is punished.
> At fourteen, looks begin to bloom. All the horny boys look to him because they’re in an all-boy’s school away from civilization. He is in danger.
> A teacher sneaks into his room and sexually assaults him.
> Vincenzo is so traumatized that he sacrifices his eye to Algrogath. He uses this to evade his classmates and look for safety.
> He is picked up by SA scouts.
> SA is a completely different place from the boarding school.
> He gets therapy for what happened. He is treated well. He is grateful to be removed from that place, so he looks to give back to the community.
> He learns to be a healer. He signs up to be school staff, and becomes a fairly popular counselor.
> He is by no means cured of the things troubling him, but with effort and a growing number of friends, he learns to find a new normal for himself.
> Algrogath hasn’t stopped trying to get inside his body, however. Someday, someday…

Character being adapted: Lucia Allegri
Link to original character application: link
Difference Explanation: Instead of dying in childbirth, Lucia’s mother survived and ran away with Lucia, causing Lucia’s father to send his henchmen to hunt them down.

Name: Lucia Allegri
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Species: Demon
Profession: Student

Appearance Description:
Italian, has a slight accent
Petite; 5’ and 110 lbs
Light skin with visible burns in a few areas around her arms and legs
Mousy brown hair. She wears it straight, down to her shoulders, with blunt bangs to match
Brownish red eyes
Wears simple clothes to blend into the background

Personality Description:
Appears quiet and reserved, but tries to reach out to others, although if her friendliness is not reciprocated her confidence quickly shrivels. Around close friends, she’s loud and lively.
Clings to the friends that she does have. She’s extremely loyal, though she tends to rely on others too much. Sometimes when she's left alone, she totally forgets to take care of herself.
Doesn't trust others easily. She keeps her past a closely guarded secret and stays cautious, especially around other demons. She has a hard time even talking to those of her own species. Anyone could be ready to betray her.
Fears fire and her own powers. Once activated, she has a hard time keeping her powers in check. She's terrified that she may hurt or burn someone, so she avoids using them at all.

Powers:
Pyrokinesis - Lucia can create flames within a 5-foot radius around her and generate heat from her palms. She’s weak in water or the cold.

Species Abilities:
Supernaturally Intelligent - Lucia can gain knowledge at a faster rate than regular humans.

Biography:
She was never meant to exist. What happened between him and the lesser demon was supposed to be a one-time thing, a simple fling--It was supposed to go unnoticed. But a child, a bastard, could not go unnoticed. The girl could not go unnoticed. The aristocrat waved a hand. "Gather some men. I want both of them dead before news of this spreads," he commanded. With that, his crew was off, hunters searching for their prey.

The prey was on the run. As soon as she could, Lucia's mother was off the grid and in hiding. She told no one and trusted no one, for he had connections everywhere. Anyone could be ready to betray them. The pair was on their own. Life on the streets was not easy, especially in the Underworld. They had to become masters of stealth, disguise, and evasion. Still, as their bounty grew, it became harder and harder to escape the dangers. So, they escaped to the human world where their demons were less likely to follow.

They followed the regular routine. Find a place to stay for a while, leave that place behind, switch up their identities, and repeat. However, they could only go on living like that for so long. Lucia's powers began to manifest, and her mother tried to teach her how to control them, though she didn't have powers herself. The human world wasn't as dangerous as the Underworld. He had less connections here, less of an influence. They were safer. They could lead lives free from his control. They could be free. It was about time they found a place to settle down and call home.

Home is where the heart is. Mother found a home in the Italian countryside. Her lover was sweet. He cared for their whole family. He, too, was driven from the Underworld. He understood. They moved in together and became a family. Finally, they found their home. Finally, they found their happy ending.

He had connections everywhere. The family bolted awake to the sound of the front door slamming open. Heavy footsteps closed in. Someone screamed. The henchmen threw the sheets off the bed and seized her. One of them pulled her close enough to smell his rank breath. “We’ve been looking for you for a long time,” he sneered. A cold pressure on her neck--Maybe silver. It slid back, and forth, back, and forth, teasing. The torturer wore a sick smile. A hot red droplet trickled down her collarbone. Then, the motion of the dagger ceased. “Where’s the girl?” he hissed. Mother whimpered. He shook her violently, "Tell us!" Her lips stayed shut.

"Check the closet," her lover said. She looked to him, eyes filling with tears. After everything he said, everything he did...but she should've known not to trust him. He was a demon, of course.

"No," she sobbed as Lucia was dragged out of the hiding place and pinned to the wall. The henchman roared and cackled, "After all these years! And we've finally got 'em!" Lucia's lip trembled. She made eye contact with her mother. They had discussed situations like this one. The world went dark. Mother mouthed, "Fire."

Lucia closed her eyes. The room burst into flames. It was enough of a distraction. She ran to the door, down the hall, out of the house. She ran through the field, then turned to look back. The house dazzled against the dark backdrop. After some time, it was all gone. No one else came out. Lucia collapsed.

Her father didn't follow her to the island. He didn't need to. Her guilt was enough.

Name: Desmond Reynolds
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Profession: Book Writer, Professional Mystery solver/ Supernatural hunter/ SA Scout
Appearance Description: Pajamas! No matter what he will wear pajamas. He can clean up good but the man loves his very comy pajamas and slippers. It's what he wears the most anyway. His appearance is pretty much the same other than having dark brown hair other than white. There is also the scar from being stabbed and a scar on his upper arm from being burned by fire magic.

Moths tend to be on him. Which usually are from his sister as they are his “guardian angels” from her. They are just to prey on his life really. He can't escape from her watchful gaze.


Personality Description: Desmond is Desmond. He people watches, gets all weird when learning about creepy conspiracies and still has that weird creepypasta fetish. He doesn't really smoke weed but his actions are extremely questionable as if he is high.

Des also still enjoys messing with people and gets in fights with his sister for lols. He is still very chill, calm, nice, sarcastic, and very judgemental which he hides behind smiles. Lastly he collects strange coins rather than pennies. He would still accept those but strange coins are way more worth while.
Powers: None? Can vaguely understand magic and uses of a wand and spellbook. He doesn't actually uses it but still tends to keep a spellbook or two on him.

Biography:
Desmond Reynolds grew up in the small town, Ravenheart Grove. This town was seriously located in the middle of nowhere in the middle of America.

So he and his sister formed their very own Mystery Incorporated very much inspired by their childhood heroes and favorite all time show Scooby Doo. It actually worked for a bit and went well. They solved all the mysteries that involved their town including ones involving a legend of a old serial killer and other little things.

Then there was the cult. The two and gang discovered the biggest mystery of the town which included a conspiracy and several important people in the town. It was dub “Cult of The Moth Whispers” Upon this discovery all hell broke loose.
More people disappeared some others turned up dead and it seemed like Des and gang was the only ones to notice these things. Everyone just kept smiling and went on their way.

So what did Desmond and his sis do? Infiltrated it! Yeah they did that it turned out seriously bad. He got everyone captured in an attempt to save himself. So he escaped, his sister and friends got captured and so began the ritual for the cult to fulfill some old “prophecy”. The ritual was a great bloody mess and cruel that involved a lot of dark magic. Desmond returned and actually manage to save everyone from their suffering which didn't just quickly end.

The cult seemed to have retreated from whatever sewer the came from after Desmond did some vandalism of their creepy temple in the creepy misty forest that surrounds the town of Ravenheart Grove.

Then the killings happened. Everyone who was involved with the cult reappeared dead. Including Desmond’s gang and girlfriend. Yes they suffered brutal deaths from having their face mauled to being shredded to bits. Desmond returned to the creepy cult temple and found out about the mothman creature thing and discovered their library which held a few spell books here and there. So he tried to learn some dark magic to help catch whatever it was killing his friends.

Then he realized it had to be one of his friends. The more he read more into the prophecy and magic the more he learned of the town's history and who could be the moth monster thing. Once he figured out a way to subdue it he set a trap with the help of his sister.

He and his sister managed to lure the last remaining members of their mystery hunter groups and trap them all in the temple. The plan was working so far all he had to do was recite a spell and case would be solved and everything goes back to normal right? Nope. It wasn't that easy… as soon as he was about to begin some crazy hooded cult guy got the jump on them. Stabbed Desmond and recited his own little spell. It ended bad...like really bad.

He watched as stuff caught on fire and because of the trap his friends was stuck and he was helpless to do anything as his sister managed to drag him out. The crazy cult guy? He also got out and then took Desmond’s sister by force. Then the chase began.

He chased them through the thick misty forest still pretty much bleeding out. They all reached the end of the line as the crazy fire magic cult guy stopped at a cliff that was high enough to see the entire town of Ravenheart Grove. Then he recited a something Desmond didn't quite get and to his horror his sister became the moth creature thing who then lunged at him.

So they got in a fight. Desmond was more on the defensive but somewhere mid fight when he was most likely about to get mauled he gave the “I know deep down you are still my lovable trashy sister so don't maul my face off!” speech. It worked too! So his sister turned back to being his sister and Desmond got up and went to fight the fire wizard guy which was stupid because he didn’t know magic? But hey with the luck of the irish he managed to actually get the guy with a rock to the face and stabbed him in the chest! With the same knife he was stabbed with earlier. Happy movie ending? Nah.

Apparently the cult guy was able to gurgle out the one more spell which caused the entire town of Ravenheart Grove to completely disappear. For good.

With this conclusion and the whole “What the fuck just happened” scene. Desmond and his sister was left in the middle of nowhere. He looted the dead cult guy for his robe and spellbook and made his way over to his crying/freaking out sister who he managed to calm down.

Thus the start of their new life roaming around until the SA scout came and brought them to Monta Carlos. So Desmond wrote a book about this sorta just made it more dramatic and epic which turned out to be really good and sold world wide. Basically rolling in money right now just for that one book. His sister seemed to be okay and became a teacher and he studied more magic and became a scout because finding people and helping them to the island just seemed to be easy for him. So yeah….other that's pretty much it.

Character being adapted: Logan 'The Butcher' Delacroix
Link to original character application:http://159.65.241.122/index.php?threads/logan-delacroix.11765/
Difference Explanation: Logan looked too human when he was born, and is taken in by his father's family instead of his mother's.
Notes: Original Logan, rich and glamorous in lifestyle, ended up longing for the opposite experiences with the Grahams out in the countryside. In this AU, it's switched around, and he seems to always reach for both, dual lives.

Name: Logan 'The Butcher' Graham
Age: 17
Gender: Genderfluid, assigned male.
Species: Half human, half unicorn.
Profession: Pop star, cannibalistic serial killer, student.

Appearance Description:

Logan is a pretty, but feisty little thing. Despite his tall height at six feet, he's slim and feminine, very androgynous in his features. He looks to be exactly the type of young man every parent should warn their daughters (and sons), away from, but that'll be followed after by smitten idiots all the same.

He has strikingly clear blue eyes, which can turn a bit scary if they're too lit up and excitably nervous. His hair is jet black-- without a single trace of glittery, eye straining colors in it that the unicorn side of his blood is usually known for. He does have a horn and tail, but they only grew in when Logan hit puberty.

At this age, his fashion sense tends to be full blown, shameless pastel goth. He also appears recently sex-ruffled the majority of the time, and seems to treat it as a badge of pride.

While he may be cute, the way he holds himself displays a forceful personality, and he would never, ever give off a sense that he would move aside for anyone else. It almost looks odd with the rest of his aesthetic. His voice matches this, as it's sharp as hell, along with articulate. He smells like indulgence, night clubs, expensive perfumes, and occasionally meat, most everything that a unicorn shouldn't smell like.

Personality Description:

For a manipulative, nymphomaniac serial killer, Logan is surprisingly bright and happy! He's successful in life as a singer rising in fame, has a wonderful family, and no end of confidence. While he has despicable traits, interests, and actions, it doesn't seem to weigh on him. He only thrives in filth. Logan Graham has it all, and knows he deserves it. In fact, he's so smug that if he crashes and burns, it'll practically be earth-shattering.

Powers:

Father's legacy

Telekinetic cutting

The Grahams had always been gifted Telekinetics. His father refined his telekinesis for slicing objects, particularly, slicing up meat and bones with incredible ease. Logan inherited this. He can only slice up one person at a time, and his power can’t reach more than 20ft.

Magical sedation

Also passed on from his father, Logan can sedate someone through skin contact. He can control how sedated they are, ranging from relaxed to being so numb they can’t move, and keep them conscious if desired. Logan has mastered this ability, and not only can he sedate only certain body parts if desired, it takes nearly no focus and very little time, no matter the power levels. It'll still fade if he doesn't touch someone for a while.

Species Abilities:

Corrupted purity

Half human, half unicorn, Logan is the unwanted son of a beautiful woman who used to be bright and angelic, and a horrible man who turned out to be a serial killer. He only has one, mainly humanoid form, and looked fully human early in his life.

I'm a star

Logan, as a corrupted Unicorn, gives off a powerful aura and energy of appealing charm, indulgence, and beauty-- along with a sharp side taste of danger. Telepaths and empaths can't access his mind at all past these impressions, unable to read his thoughts or pick up specific emotions. This doesn't stop him from being seen as a bad person, but it does warp the reactionsothers have to his being a bad person, making it uncomfortably attractive to them and an outright compulsion.
