| I want to spin SOMETHING out of nothing |

& BACKGROUND ; Nahinu is a creature born of nightmares, in the interdimensional space where dreams surface like air bubbles in water. Where the human subconsciousness and memories impact the many plains, causing them to shift and rearrange. Bahinu is able to travel through these plains and to earth through magical means.Nahinu's species have special organs that produce the air they breathe, which doubles as a defense and hunting mechanism. The compound is noxious to most living creatures, and magically hallucinatory. Nahi is able to manipulate it to make others see what she wishes. Typically, she uses it to appear human to others.Though largely omnivores and able to digest most food products, Nahinu's species' primary source of nutrition is the mind, in the metaphysical sense. Nahi herself dislikes hurting others and most typically consumes short term memories, or otherwise memories that don't hurt to lose.Nahihu grew up in the care of her parent, Mokilqu. Known as Mokilqu, the Esurient to some. Mokilqu has dominion over a marsh forest of liminal space. There, thick fog mingles with the gas they breathe and makes the forest seem near endless. When Nahinu was old enough she decided she wanted to live among humans, in a city. Nahi has a great love of humans and the things they create. She lives in an apartment complex in East Harlem, Manhattan, New York.At heart, she's just a girl taking on the big city life. She's an aesthetic vlogger and immersive roleplay storyteller with a steady following, and is attending college part-time.

& relations ; is in an open relationship. knows devisee, jeanot; friend of a friend, of a friend with solar but has never met

& DESCRIPTION ; Nahinu is tall and skinny, with mostly humanoid proportions, but with two pairs of arms. She has dark organic armor plating around the crown of her head, as well as other vital areas and ligaments. She has little body hair and midnight blue skin, with lighter smatterings and blemishes akin to freckles. She has three pairs of mildly asymmetrical, dusk purple eyes, and one mouth intended for consumption but many, small spiracles that let out her gas as she breathes.Nahinu's illusionary appearances can vary, but she typically will project the appearance of a slightly taller than average, heavy set and dark skinned, young human woman with butt length hair. Some variations may occur.

& age ; young adult
& gender ; transgender, she/her
& orientation ; asexual, panromantic, poly
& height ; 6'6"
& weight ; roughly 200lb
& other physicality notes ; scarred in several places. missing two fingers and a thumb on one right hand, and her entire other right hand, from when she was accosted by hunters as a child. she would be taller had her growth not been stunted from the injuries.
& more ; blue-yellow color blind (tritanopia)

& PERSONALITY ; despite her lineage, Nahinu has a gentle yet adventurous personality. She is often anxious in social situations, but shines brightly when talking about her interests. She's excitable with a love for exploring new experiences and ideas. There's a fiery streak in her too that people don't always expect, a rebellious nature that led her to living among humans against Mokilqu's expectations.

& positives ; bubbly, creative, kind, sweet, adventurous
& negatives ; nervous, self conscious, shy, soft spoken

& ABILITIES ; Nahinu is in of herself magical. Her breath is magic laced as well as being biologically a harmful chemical. She can control the illusionary effects but not the noxiousness. Typically, she avoids small enclosed spaces with other living things. In small doses her gases have little ill effect; more may lead to irritations, lightheadedness, and other mild to severe symptoms. Too much can kill. Interestingly, most flora does not respond poorly to Nahi's gases. Furthermore, water diffuses it.Nahinu is able to travel through dimensions, but only by a set of rules. She must use a mirror or otherwise reflective surface, and it's unlike teleportation. She must walk the distance between spaces. This can be relative based on the curvature of the interdimensional space she's traveling through.Lastly, Nahinu has highly sensitive instincts, or six sense. She instinctually picks up on dangers and the general essence of what someone or something is. This is not precise and can be muddled, depending on her surroundings.

| COLOR in your step, let me lose YOUR MIND |

& BACKGROUND ; known diversely by many people, Solar is an unnatural magical creation, made by a process of harvesting energies to try and control their properties. Designated C0-1112-X by those that engineered them, they're unbridled life at their core; loud, chaotic and full of ebullience. Solar spent several years in a glass containment tube, in the facility where they were studied. How the collective energies gained sentience remains a mystery, despite numerous tests. All attempts to replicate the process that made solar ended in failure.Unable to stand confinement any longer, Solar broke out only to find their form too unstable to maintain without a container. This forced them to adapt and develop their innate psionics. Finding that they're able to possess other living creatures, they spend the next two centuries going wherever the wind takes them. Solar has lead many lives and lived many experiences, always happy to know what's new.

& relations ; knows jeanot, emmerich, elias; friend of a friend with nahinu but has never met

& DESCRIPTION ; Solar's raw form looks akin to a miniature floating cosmos, iridescent in color. Bright and starry; entirely composed of magical energies. What physical form they're currently in possession of will vary from thread to thread, but they favor the interesting or fun. Oftentimes solar will ask for permission and come to an agreement with those that they possess. In a pinch however, they'll do what they must.

& age ; couple centuries
& gender ; agender, any pronouns
& orientation ; asexual, aromantic
& height ; varies
& weight ; varies
& other physicality notes ; solar has an incredibly striking and bright magical aura to those that are able to see it. able to dim and reduce themselves consciously, but rarely thinks about it.
& more ; has synesthesia

& PERSONALITY ; Solar is highly energetic and gregarious, but sometimes enigmatic in their empathy and insight. They are most oftentimes mischievous and wildly chaotic; uncontrollable as any wellspring of energy. Solar is emboldened through strife and adventure. They're constantly looking for new personal connections and are deeply loving at their core.

& positives ; empathetic, genuine, enthusiastic, spontaneous, intuitive
& negatives ; boisterous, irresponsible, distractible, incorrigible, forgetful

& ABILITIES ; Solar is a magical being of boundless energy, which they're able to channel in many ways. Both through innate abilities, and through more academic fields. they come to psionics naturally and have a strong mental presence; telepathy, telekinesis, and more are their strongest abilities.Solar is able to sense the living and read them based on their auras. Every living thing has an aura of some kind; some large, some small. A person's aura can change in shape and color based on their emotional state. To solar the universe is a bright, multicolored canvas.Solar has also learned full teleportation and the general manipulation of the arcane. They are able to travel through interdimensional space unrestricted and can do transmutation, make wards; conjure simple cantrips, and more.

| we can all **LEARN **things, both many and a-few |

& BACKGROUND ; Geid is a creature born from conflict, from nature touched by corrupt magics. It is said that a warlock once stuck a world tree with a harsh, twisted mote and the sap that oozed from the tree's wound gained shape; gained teeth, and an appetite. The forest cried out and Geid answered it, made ravenous with fury. For a long time they only knew what instincts told them: kill, eat, and defend their mother forest.The world spun madly on. It changed, and soon forgot the forest and its inhabitants. Geid themselves grew slowly; digested life in a steady manner befitting nature. As the forest healed from its past so too did Geid. Flora grew from the old scars and there was peace. Geid is now known by locals as a mythos, but little else. They enjoy a quiet life alone, with only the occasional lost visitor stumbling across their path.

& relations ; none

& DESCRIPTION ; although Geid's main composition is viscous sap, they're able to alter their shape through magical means. Geid commonly stands at an imposing height and build, large as a half giant, with a mildly gooey appearance and a maw full of razor teeth. They most often give themselves medium toned skin with green eyes, and short, messy dark hair that always appears oily. Geid's many teeth are jagged and sit at odd angles, making them unable to fully close their mouth in any form they take.When distressed or wounded, their form will lose shape. This can range anywhere from Geid becoming stickier, to actively dripping goo, to outright losing cognitive shape. When severely hurt Geid becomes a roving ooze with teeth, devouring whatever crosses their path.

& age ; several centuries
& gender ; agender, them/he
& orientation ; pansexual, panromantic
& height ; 7'8", but may vary
& weight ; roughly 400lb
& other physicality notes ; eyes burn bright green when incensed
& more ; illiterate, slight speech impediment, has mild to severe ptsd responses

& PERSONALITY ; though born from turbulence and strife, Geid has grown into an easy going sort of person with an appreciation for simple living. They're most often friendly and pleasant, even if somewhat unpracticed in everyday conversation. They dislike conflict and will avoid it, preferring to exhaust all other options; even with heated arguments.

& positives ; engaging, genuine, gracious, tender
& negatives ; secretive, menacing, bestial, conciliating

& ABILITIES ; Geid is an aberration with physical prowess. They have great strength and are deadly in close quarters, never mind if they get creative with their body. furthermore, the magic that made them lingers with varying effects; toxicity, the ability to cause decay, and if they try, rapid necrosis of living tissues.Geid is capable of minor magics, such as illusions and wards. Geid's transformation ability is both a physical change and a visual glamour. if they wanted, they could appear far more human than they do, but it can be strenuous. When necessary they'll go for a visage more inconspicuous, but they can only do so for a limited amount of time.

| all was GOLDEN when the day met the night |

& BACKGROUND ; Summer is an oddity. A renegade of the collective, deep consciousness that is the tenebrous host. With it, one is all and all is one; they are an immeasurable hollow in the folds of the universe. But beyond their comprehension, summer did not wish to be. He wished to be solely his own, he even unthinkably wished for a name. And so summer ventured, a splintered, ghastly shard of darkness.Alone and without a name he was minuscule, a speck in the air. Unused to both the passage of time and his newly found solitude, he became melancholy. Summer quickly gave up and attempted to return, but found himself tethered to the earth, unable to escape its pull. His loneliness consumed him until one day he found a young girl. Shut in her room she wept, and Summer was astonished to find her as lonely as he. He tried to speak to her for days but she could not hear, his ancient tongue lost to the air. So Summer watched, learned her speech so they might know one another.This girl was Summer's first friend, first love. She gave him his name, which unbeknownst to him would change his very being. Although it took many years, he slowly changed into what his namesake defined. Now Summer is more than he ever expected. Contradictive as any human, but more importantly: himself.

& relations ; knows of solar, hasn't met

& DESCRIPTION ; Summer is a being of light that casts many walking shadows. When dimmed, the glow around him is like a flickering candelabra with dancing shapes. He is incapable of going out entirely, as to do so would mean his death, or worse. His visual form may range but he most often takes the form a young, masculine adult with light toned skin, dark eyes, and curly black hair that's bleached blonde on one half. Or, if not on earth, whatever equivalent in species most prominent.When radiating, whatever form summer has taken becomes aglow and difficult to look at directly. Wisps of sunbeams will trail out from and encircle him. He becomes a golden visage some might liken to an angel. However, his shadows never dissipate.

& age ; ageless, both many centuries and just two decades
& gender ; agender, he/them
& orientation ; panromantic, asexual
& height ; 5'5", but may vary
& weight ; weightless, 0lb
& other physicality notes ; the light summer gives off is warm like sunlight. he's strange to touch given his metaphysicality; warm, and solid when he wants to be, but without beating life or breath.
& more ; none

& PERSONALITY ; to many, Summer is trouble from start to finish. His dual natures drive him to contrary ways, and his empathy is poor. He often runs his mouth or takes goading too far. But while summer can be frustrating to deal with, he does try. At his best, Summer is every bit as bright and warm as his namesake.

& positives ; lighthearted, brave, positive, encouraging
& negatives ; obnoxious, inconsiderate, impudent, teasing

& ABILITIES ; Summer has control over both light and shadow in equal measure. His pool is near endless, but is likewise his very life; his form is made of his magics, and only magical means can harm him. Physical means cannot.Between his origins and how wont he is to experimenting, Summer is capable of a great deal. Offensive, defensive, or travel based; banishing, capturing, or controlling; simple tricks and dangerous ploys; Summer is limited only by the constraints of his elements, and imagination.

| i will NEVER forget my own name |

& BACKGROUND ; Jeanot was made with the intention of unlocking the memories of an individual from an advanced, dead race, whose corpse was discovered one day and found with a peculiar device, similar to a locket. The engineers had figured out that only someone with a similar genetic code could open the device, and so his genetics were spliced with the tissue samples they were able to collect.Jeanot was given no name, only the number designation 00-6. His childhood was made up of constant monitoring and tests. Small breakthroughs were made over the years. The memories from the artifact were often overwhelming or confusing, especially for a child; some caused mental breaks. It took Jeanot well into adulthood for him to come to grips with them.Although Jeanot knew little else, when the opportunity to escape and leave the facility was given to him in his teens, he took it. Pursued by his creators, Jeanot spent the following years moving from place to place, and learning about life. Learning to be his own person, and to answer his own questions. Now in his twenties, Jeanot lives on earth and attends a college with some of his friends.

& relations ; is in a relationship. knows solar, nahinu; friend of a friend with devisee

& DESCRIPTION ; Jeanot has light toned skin, big brown eyes and long, light brown hair that's fine and straight. He's soft featured, petite, and somewhat frail. Moreso on a bad month. His voice cracks sometimes, caused by the short while he's been on testosterone.

& age ; mid twenties
& gender ; transgender, he/him
& orientation ; biromantic, bisexual
& height ; roughly 5'6"
& weight ; roughly 90lb
& other physicality notes ; covered in freckles, has dimples; underweight
& more ; has numerous health issues due to how he was made, which are being treated; deals with dysphoria, has ptsd trauma responses, an anxiety disorder, and is neurodivergent; autistic, ocd

& PERSONALITY ; Jeanot has gone through many phases, through passages of his life where he was once again someone new. He knows what it is to struggle; with obstacles, with oneself, with life. He is a compassionate soul that bloomed from adversity, often there to offer a helping hand to others. Jeanot carries himself with a soft, understated confidence and is quick to conversation and friends.

& positives ; softhearted, open minded, keen, willful
& negatives ; begrudging, gullible, overanxious, stubborn

& ABILITIES ; Jeanot has mild innate magics, and due to the memories stored in the artifact, has extensive knowledge of the arcane and how it interlocks with technological advancement, space travel, and more. Even without the memories, he's a genius in his own right with an acute knack for mechanics. Able to fix up automobiles, install electricity, fix computers, etc. He built his first hoverboard when he was nineteen.Although lacking the capacity for large, energy demanding magics, Jeanot is more than capable with anything and everything complex, or requiring precise, careful attention.

| close your eyes, IMAGINE sky's the night |

& BACKGROUND ; two siblings of monstrous breadth once courted the idol of the hunt, Feibhli, enamored as they were with her ferocity and grace. The first, by name of Orr, bore his teeth and spoke with flattery; gifted a cascade of adoration for that which consumed him, every day at her feet. The second, Vasek, for a long time watched her but did not speak more than a few words, until one day he challenged the divinity to a great hunt. The greatest hunt, for which he offered himself as the prey. She laughed and accepted his challenge. The hunt and their following tryst lasted a fortnight. Devisee was born of their union.The first sibling quickly fell to jealousy. Orr plotted his revenge for being besmirched by the object of his desires. When devisee was still young, Orr slew his parents. Vasek succumbed to poison, for Orr knew of his limits, while Feibhli fought Orr and mortally wounded him before dying of her own wounds. Devisee was left alive, but alone. Years later he would kill Orr himself, who had survived and slunk away to lick his wounds. The years following that, with no ambition to take up Feibhli's diadem, Devisee would eventually find himself on earth. Preferring a quiet life, he lives in a small town by the Adirondacks.Devisee's lineage complicates his being; both eldritch and divine blood course through him. All at once monstrous and blessed. An aspect of the hunt and a nightmarish aberration.

& relations ; knows nahinu; friend of a friend with solar and jeanot; has met jeanot

& DESCRIPTION ; of his three bodies, only one resides in our dimension, fully visible and solid. Most can only see it and not the others. This one is human looking and masculine, with the stark albinism of light toned skin and blonde eyebrows, eyelashes, and medium length textured hair; and light blue eyes.two ; his second is a colossal aberration which resides in a distorted mirror plain. Its exact colors are like static on the senses, but its shape is unmistakable; quadrupedal and long armed with a six-jawed maw filled with teeth; no visible eyes, lacking skin in some places, showing muscle or sometimes bone.three ; his third is pure white with few distinct features; a silhouette of his more human-like appearance; an echo except for the multitude of eyes and cresting mantle, gifted from Feibhli. It is the manifestation of his spirit which resides in a plain of pooled blood.

& age ; adult
& gender ; intersex, masc leaning, he/him
& orientation ; panromantic, pansexual
& height ; first is 6'3", second is 16'2", third is 6'3"
& weight ; first weighs roughly 200lb, second weighs roughly 1000lb, the third weighs 0lb
& other physicality notes ; has five stomachs between all bodies, has albinism
& more ; struggles with depression

& PERSONALITY ; Devisee has a lonesome air about him and is typically happy for any given conversation, even with his food. Although he lives alone, it's all he knows; Devisee is a creature of habit, but that's not to say he doesn't break habit from time to time. When the mood strikes him he can be very adventurous, sometimes curious to a fault.

& positives ; quick witted, observant, composed, inquisitive
& negatives ; melancholy, reticent, cold, idiosyncratic

& ABILITIES ; with no one to teach devisee how to properly wield his magics he relies solely on what's inherent to him. Those of Vasek's species are able to create dominions that act as pocket dimensions. Depending on how the boundary is cast, this can be a subtle threshold crossing into the space, or it can be as harsh as a blackhole pulling in everything in its path. This ability is directly tied to Devisee's duplicity; all his forms have their own dominion.The first is the most subtle because rather than a place, it's a concept. It is time. This does not allow Devisee to time travel by any stretch, only to bend it a little here and there. On any plain, Devisee is able to create liminal space around him; time may move slower or faster in the boundary than outside it.The second with his coinciding form is a twisted mirror reality to whatever universe Devisee is currently residing in, and is harsh on the average senses; a place where mortals should not go, with heavy air and a painful song that renders many unconscious. Most end up here as food.The third is directly an expansion of himself and Feibhli's divinity passed down, a plain created by his existence alone. It is a calm place, untouched by anyone other than Devisee.Alongside this, Devisee has physical strength, agility and senses appropriate to each form, and is dangerous with all of them. His sense of smell is the most keen.

| FLOWN so long, i've FORGOTTEN how to land |

& BACKGROUND ; Xuliana Fiallo, or Xianne, was born into a short line of foolish sorcerers, begrudged with an unreasonable amount of magics; a bloodline filled with gamblers and swindlers that stumbled into power. Her father, father's father, and father's father's mother before them began it all with a wager.Her father, Bieito, having run off before Xianne was born meant that her mother, Olalla, raised her alone through financial struggle and every curveball life likes to throw. Although Xianne grew up with little knowledge of where her magical inheritance came from, she grew into it in her own way; she knew a few tricks all her own.One day her father showed up out of nowhere and asked for her. What Xianne never expected was for Olalla to go along with it. She never learned the details; whether Bieito used his silver tongue, and if he offered Olalla money or something else. Whatever it was made Olalla abandon her only child and hand her over to her deadbeat father. Throughout her adolescence, Xianne did everything she could to act out.When she turned twenty, the full picture fell and smacked her in the face. Bieito had debts to pay; too many debts, the greatest to a fiendish aberration by title of Phylaxis. Bieito owed them the magic passed down through his blood, a debt he had evaded paying for far too long, and the fiend intended to collect with interest. The wording of this deal allowed Bieito to use Xianne in his place. She was forced into a pact with this fiend; forced to pay the debts of her father, who had bought her from her mother. She was cursed by her blood, and so Xianne ran and never looked back.

& relations ; has met rizzo in passing

& DESCRIPTION ; Xianne appears middle aged with a dancer's frame, medium toned skin, dark brown eyes and long black hair with pointed bangs, that's often tied into a loose ponytail. Likes to wear makeup.

& age ; roughly one hundred and forty
& gender ; cisgender, she/her
& orientation ; bisexual with a preference for women, biromantic
& height ; roughly 5'1"
& weight ; roughly 140lb
& other physicality notes ; has a tongue piercing and pierced ears; has a few facial scars
& more ; born blind

& PERSONALITY ; Xianne has a strident, flirtatious personality. Not only with people but with the universe. Although burdened with more than she ever asked for, Xianne tries to wrangle out the best in life. She laughs about accomplishments almost as much as her failures and moves constantly forward.

& positives ; generous, reliable, easy going, audacious
& negatives ; wayward, guarded, bawdy, flippant

& ABILITIES ; Xianne has strong innate magics that are amplified by her pact. She's capable of more demanding magic and isn't half bad at complex magic; she's capable of offensive magic and limited interdimensional travel; making wards, making illusions, bending sound and enchanting objects. However, she largely uses her magic for mundane purposes.The pact between her and Phylaxis connects them, mentally and metaphysically. It has made her unaging and near immune to poisons; and in recent years has started to cause a bleeding effect. Moments where their senses overlap. These moments are rare but often disorienting for Xianne.

& alt names ; bee, bea, the bonny

DESCRIPTION ; belle could be mistaken for a blackened sea creature by the way she moves, drifting through the air as if in water. underneath her cloak-like exterior, belle has a maw of teeth where you expect a face and several bony arms that curl in at the joints and connect to her exterior like a bat's wing.
