Blood and Magick: The Coven

They say that legends and myths have their roots in fact. Most write the old tales off as amplified superstition of barbarians. Even today when the unnatural occurs right before our eyes, there’s always some “logical explanation”.

That logic is a lie.

Forget everything you thought was real or fantasy. Open your eyes, if you can, and find your own truths, because the creatures of old tales and dreams are real, and they’re all around you. Demons, angels, dragons, shape-shifters, witches all exist. They weave in and out of human society as they will, some together, some alone, warring, cooperating, living, and loving in a world that’s before us all the time. It’s there to see if we can only believe.

And where so God and Satan fit in? Do they even exist? They do, and their presence is very strong in this “hidden” world. Creatures ally themselves to one side or another, or don’t at all; rivalries form, and wars break out. Every few centuries tensions explode… and it’s about to happen again.

The agents of God fight for the light, even if they never see it. Their connection with their Creator is of love and understanding; their power comes from the cooperation of individuals in covens and covens working together. The anonymous savior of a lost child, the stranger who stops to comfort you on the street, all of these are among the mysterious warriors of good.

The servants of Satan hide their true selves, reveling on destruction and decay. They are slaves to the Lord of Hell, doing his bidding with fear in their hearts. The meaningless massacres and pointless destruction mortals see on the news are often the work of these thralls of evil. While many are “lone operatives”, several covens do exist, but most don’t last long due to the mentality of the average individual.

Then there are the neutrals, those who have no goals, no tasks, who simply live for life’s sake, who side with no one. They can be the most dangerous, or the trustworthiest; they are the unknowns.

Which side will you choose?

Mah character, biznatches!

Name: Sorcha
Age: c. 1600 years old
Gender: female
Species: vampire-witch
Gifts/powers: she has the limitations and strengths of a vampire of her age (sunlight is harmful but won't destroy her, she doesn't have to drink blood as often, strong telekinetic powers, extreme physical strength, skin like white marble, ability to fly, ect.), but can also communicate with spirits and manipulate elements (earth, air, fire, water) and can, at will, transform into a winged, angel-like version of herself with huge red and black wings, though any use of her witch powers can drastically drain her
Physical Description: clicky for piccy Like so, but with black streaked with blood red. She often wears a short black leather skirt, black corset with red inset, and knee-high boots.
Personality: Party goddess. She loves to have a good time, and sometimes has difficulty "buckling down" when things get serious. Always the one to have some quirky remark, not many can take her on in an arguement or a battle of wits. When she does get serious, then you know things are getting pretty bad, and someone's about to get their ass kicked. A great friend, trustworthy confident, and powerful ally, you definately want to be on her good side.
Origin/History: Her family originated in Ireland, but she was born to a line of Druids. Her training, and later her obligations, called for her to travel across continental Europe to meet with other Druids from the six Celtic nations. At one of these 'meetings', a serious problem was being addressed, and since Sorcha was one of the most powerful shamans in the nations, she attempted a trance. No one knows what happened, but something went wrong. When she came back, she had changed. Afterwards, she travelled throughout the known world and spent many years helping in various plagues, since she discovered that she was immune to disease and sickness.
Alliance: good, a bit chaotic, but still good; part of the Fallen Sisters coven
Other: love-hate relationship with Malik; doesn't have a "man" (or male companion) at present, but would be very loyal if she had one

"As I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I fear no evil... For I am the baddest m*****f***er in the valley!" (one of my fave shirts...)

"What? Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were listening to music..."

Alias(es): She teaches mythology at a local college three nights a week, is a regular at downtown clubs, and is quite popular with the boys...
