Character Name: Ulrik Sabody
Character trying for: Male
Player Name: Le Franz
Race: Majin
Quick Bio: Ulrik was born into the human world, his form materialized. Ulrik was not a typical human however, oh no, young Ulrik was a Majin, an unusually aware Majin, who since a young age has known his purpose to become a witch eater. He has created his own religion to which he is ridiculously devoted. The religion, Blasbullion is dedicated to the hunting of and killing witches, and it requires daily tribute to a formless god, who requires ritual blood painting. As a result of following Blasbullion, Ulrik began to traveling the world as a minstrel, in order to provide himself with some emotional release, because killing witches takes a toll on his soul.
Aspirations: To fulfill his greater divine calling and kill witches, and traveling the world as a part-time minstrel, who titles his songs after the witches that he has slain.

Character Name: Requiem Driscoll.
Character trying for: Male.
Player Name: Kuro-Mizuki.
Race: Majin
Quick Bio: He hadn't ever wished to become a human - at least, not in the normal sense; his desires had been purely curiosity, a passing fancy, a fleeting whim - but the magic flowed through his veins at birth anyway and Requiem Driscoll was born into a human body. His parents had not sensed the difference, raising their son as normal; telling him stories of how it had been, how it was now. It was only after he turned the age of ten that the darkness began to flow again, having lay dormant for so long. For a while it seemed as if he could not stop the blackness from overtaking him, but through a series of struggles he began to slowly, awkwardly, and carefully suppress the near overwhelming desire for the hearts of witches. Requiem's path is never easy; it is a daily battle within himself to keep his mind clear and his heart steady, but he is determined. It is through music that he steadies himself; the soothing beats, the gentle rhythms of the notes and the chords are what he loses himself in, so as to not lose himself in other ways.
Aspirations: Requiem's cravings are dark. He longs for the lifeblood of the witches, his desire to devour the hearts of the witches he has seen in his days growing stronger as the days pass. But he refuses to give into these urges, though they threaten to destroy and consume him. Instead, Requiem focuses solely on becoming an Ars Lilium, his stubbornness and pride driving him to try and become a member of the Cerberus Knights.

Character Name: Illadon Tenebros
Character trying for: Male
Player Name: ewagan
Race: Human
Quick Bio: Illadon was a brought up in a home where magic and music abounded. His mother was a half-witch, who was disinclined to become one of the Ars Lilium or a reaper. His father was one of the Ars Lilium and very rarely home. His mother took to making and selling herbal concoctions with a touch of magic in them for a living. His mother was always humming a tune, nurturing Illadon's love for music. She encouraged him in his ambitions, always supporting him and telling his to give his best. This made him strive harder to please his mother, and his ambitions grew larger and larger. However, his mother's diluted blood didn't stop a Majin from coming to eat her heart. Illadon returned from an errand to find his mother dead and a Majin leaving, cackling as it did. This fueled a desire for revenge in Illadon, and he set out to become a reaper to prevent this from happening to anyone else. While his father was disappointed in Illadon's decision to become a reaper, he understood the reasoning behind it and gave Illadon his blessing. Illadon learned to channel his love for music into his powers, making them one and the same.
Aspirations: Highly ambitious, Illadon will settle for nothing less than being a sage. Even if the effort kills him, Illadon is determined to become a Sage. Short-term goal wise, Illadon is striving to become the youngest reaper in history.

Character Name: Ishtar ("Star") Elms
Character trying for: Female
Player Name: Epine de Rose
Race: Human
Quick Bio:
As the child of a recognised Witch and and a Cerberus Knight, Ishtar was raised in a loving environment but under very firm views and strict beliefs. With a father who took his duty to the kingdom very seriously, she was raised in the belief that the security of every witch was paramount - whether it be from external forces who simply didn't understand them, or from internal forces which had somehow breached the defences. The law was to be upheld, they were not simply 'guidelines' and as a result, Ishtar was under no illusions that there was no 'grey areas'. If these laws were broken there would be consequences and as such, she shouldn't ever take that risk.
Alas, when it was confirmed that she showed signs of ample magic within her blood (a proud moment for her parents to be sure), she was sent to the Academy in the hopes that she might become as skilled and competant in the arts as her parents. There was of course an underlying assumption that she would follow the path her father had walked and become a Cerberus Knight, but one can never be so certain of these things...
Aspirations:
Ishtar is exceptionally ambitious and while she has elected to pursue her father's path to a certain point, she has already dismissed the Cerberus Knights as a viable option. Instead, she has set her sights on becoming one of the Ars Lilium (one bound by honour, but not immediately accountable to anyone). Determined to uphold peace and harmony at all costs, she is perhaps more overzealous than either of her parents had intended. However, overtime, she will develop the opinion that some rules must be broken to uphold the peace and as a consequence, she intends to branch out into that 'grey area' that her father claims to be non-existant.
While her heart is in the right place and she aspires to keep her fellow witches safe, she may elect to use more questionable means to ensure that things remain as they are. She will never fully walk the line of a dark witch, such things are simply not her way, but she might turn a blind eye to the more immoral acts if their ultimate result is the additional security of the kingdom. However, place the peace and security of her fellow witches in jeopardy and she will be as unforgiving and vicious as any dark witch.
Peace and harmony must be maintained at all costs.
Thus it is with all this in mind that she will ultimately seek to become a Sage, specialising in the arts she deems necessary to continue with these aspirations. A long journey lies ahead of her, but with enough work, it isn't entirely impossible.

Character Name: Luciela Rosebloom
Character trying for: Female
Player Name: La Mangue
Race: Majin
Quick Bio:
Luciela Rosebloom was born in a world where humans/witches dwell and magic was abundant and was life. Of course in any world, some would use it for good and maintain order, and others solely for power.
One cold night, a knock was heard from the Rosebloom's front door, but no one was there, instead a small crib had been left on the doorstep of a human's home where a little baby girl was sleeping in. A family with no background in magic. With her background being unknown to them, this little one was indeed human, but inside a Majin. How could they leave the little one by herself. The lovely couple did not see a Majin, but saw a beautiful baby girl and had taken her in their family, as their child. Thus, Luciela came to this world. Having a normal life was something she struggled to maintain as she kept her background a secret from her parents and everyone else. Only she knew what she truly was. Born with a darkness inside her, growing evermore as her years go by, trying to keep it hidden, thinking she herself had suppressed the Majin inside her. Tales of her kind told by their elders, how darkness will once consume them, power, a dying need for power, almost monstrous beings as they do this by consuming a witch's heart. Terrified of this, Luciela tried her best to stay 'normal' whatever normal was. But can one truly avoid fate life has bestowed upon them?
Aspirations: As her powers grew, and she herself, so did the evil hidden beneath her human form. Prying it's way out, staying hidden in the darkness away from the light. Soon enough, sweet little Lucilea will soon be no more. She grew wary of the witchlings around her, the sound of their hearts almost music to her ears. Keeping her distance for she knew in time, it will consume her to the point of no return. The need for power, draining a witch from all of his/her magic, the beautiful music in the witch's hearts gone; this was her fate, her destiny; a future Witch Eater. And she can run no more.

Character Name: Ambrose Knight
Character trying for: Female
Player Name: Face Your Demons
Race: Human
Quick Bio: Region can affect a child substantially, and in a world where magic varies from place to place, Ambrose's particular community did not accept her. The belief held by her town and the sparse inhabitants of the countryside around it revolved around the power of wishing. Spells were cast not with incantations, books, familiars or very many ingredients, but wishes made. That was how they were taught to rather inefficiently and erratically channel their magic. Because they didn't really understand how it worked, a belief circulated in the community that there was a corelation between the strength of one's spells and the purity of the heart. To be pure and sincere of heart meant that the witch's wishes would almost certainly come true.
Ambrose never understood that process. In fact, she was rather miserable at it. Of course, she would wish for things like anyone else, but because she didn't understand how that worked (she very much liked to know the principles behind a thing) she didn't channel very much enthusiasm into her undertakings. Perhaps that would have been fine, but on the flipside of their belief (having never seen a Majin and recognized it before) the community associated those who were weak with a corrupted heart. They believed that someone as unskilled as Ambrose was certainly a Majin. And if it wasn't just for that, surely the yellow eye was a sign of something beastly living within her?
They had no way to prove it, but when that many people believe the same thing, sometimes proof isn't necessary. For years, her parents argued with the community that she was just unskilled because she needed more time to believe in herself. Ambrose, though she thought that was sweet, was highly doubtful. Instead, she learned things from foreigners who travelled through, and began to practice on her own. If they had asked her even once to demonstrate her skill by her own methods, she could have proved she was no majin by their standards. However, she continued being terrible at wishing. A member from her village, a classmate of hers, swore to become a Reaper, and everyone made certain that he would come back to tell them whether or not she was truly a Majin- and on that day, her life would be in their hands.
Ambrose found the whole process upsetting. She craved truth, and the illumination which education could provide. As soon as she was old enough, she convinced a regular traveller (who may or may not have been harbouring a crush on her all those visits) to show her the way to Lilium Hallow.
Aspirations: Ambrose has never been much of a renegade. She does what she needs to in order to further her studies, but she's not the kind of person who would actively seek out Majin. In fact, she's haunted by a fear that those she persecutes will be innocent; how can the Reapers believe they are always right? What if one of them, like that boy from her village, could have been the death of her? Ambrose is also tainted by the fear that they were right, and one day she will realize she is a Majin and has been all along.
Until then, she is persistent in learning the arts of Lilium Hallow and one day becoming an elite Ars Lilium. Perhaps she can gain the power and skill to truly see the hearts of others... Even if she won't know what to do with a power so telling.
P.S. Her surname has people forever making the joke, "So you must be pretty young for a Cerberus Knight! Ha ha ha". Ambrose isn't sure whether it would be better or worse to be a Knight genuinely.

Character Name: Van Mallas
Character trying for: Male
Player Name: Dakka Domi
Race: Majin
Quick Bio:Majin, by their very nature, by their unnatural birth, because of what they might become, are cause for alarm among witches. From the moment Van wished himself into being, it's been the only certain fact to him. He's never felt hunted or hated, to be sure, for he keeps the secret of his nature just that: a secret. But as he's wandered in the time since his blinking into life, he's come to know a sort of otherness, a feeling of being on the outside. He's never felt jealous or upset at his lot in life, either, for to question the gift of a chance to become like them makes him undeserving of ever receiving it in the first place. Van is a man of contradictions, really, a quasi-human set of morals that doesn't apply to his dealings with humans, even though he seeks to become one.
No, no, never upset at his place in the world. Just lonely, a bitter, cavernous feeling of being on the outside, and it fills him with a pain like no other. He revels in it, because to feel is one step closer to becoming a whole, living creature.
Aspirations:
To Van, the endless quest for self-preservation takes priority over all else, and it is indeed an endless task. The existence of the Reapers makes the defenseless, weak Majin vulnerable indeed. To the Reapers, there's no middle ground. Kill Majin before they can tear the hearts clean out of witches and become something even worse.
He seeks the strength to keep himself alive, to face the threat that the Reapers will one day pose to him. Even though it will expose him to greater peril than laying low and generally out of sight, he sees no suitable alternative; as anyone who's ever played Hide-and-Seek will tell you, you can only hide for so long.
The hunger, that dull pang that doesn't quite emanate from his stomach, weighs heavy on the tail-end of his mind, and this acts as the other, more basic urge behind his attempts to ascend. At night he lies awake, fantasizing at the sensation of achieving that glorious power the Heart will bring him. Perhaps, deep down, he seeks to overcome that primal urge. By freeing himself from that barbaric desire, he'll become something closer to human.
So Van has put on a charming facade and gone off into the world, seeking a witch, perhaps in the form of a lover, perhaps in the form of a companion, or maybe even a mentor. A day will come when he'll rip the pulsating, beating thing out of his quarry's chest, laughing as he tosses aside the guise he's had to wear, and he'll drink to the dregs.

Player Name: yeomso
Race: Human

He felt it necessary to pay them back for what they did for him, he decided to leave in order to develop his magical power in order to pay back and care for the people who took care of him.

Character Name: Liliana Carrow
Character trying for: Female
Player Name: d u s t - puddle
Race: Human
Quick Bio: Liliana was born into single mother, a low-ranked witch who lived in a small, shabby residence in the outskirts of Lilium Hallow. Her father had left before she was even born and Lily, as she was nicknamed, saw the resentment in everything her mother did. “That man is as wretched as the majin!” she would claim. And with nothing else to base her opinion on, Lily would believe her. For years, Lily endured her mother’s obsession over her father, an obsession that caused that tired woman to deteriorate in front of her daughter’s eyes. Still, Lily cared for her mother dearly as they were the only ones for each other in this entire world.
On the way back from errands one day, her life took another turn. When Lily was still a child, a majin hunted down her mother, tore out her heart, and feasted on it before her. In the scuffle, Lily was knocked aside, scared but as safe as she could be. One of her eyes was badly injured and never healed completely. But what hurt Lily the most was losing her mother.
Aspirations: Inheriting her mother’s stubborn personality, Lily aims to be a Reaper to rid the world of majin. Though on the surface her drive is based on revenge, Lily also hopes to prevent other children from living the same life she did. She wants to believe that she can make a difference in others’ life, or at the very least, have some majin die at her hands.

Character Name: Felicity Nichols
Character trying for: Female
Player Name: Hoshi Lockhart
Race: Human
Quick Bio: The eyes are the window to the soul. At least that's what some believe. And that's what Felicity's mother believes. Her daughter was born just the way she is now, with one purple and one yellow eye. Purple is a very rich color, commonly associated with royalty and nobility. Much could be said for yellow, with a past civilization only allowing the royal family to wear the color. In another, it means 'precious.' Felicity's mother also considered it a symbol of good luck. Whether the colors meant anything else was ignored by the woman. Her husband had died while she was still pregnant and she wanted to believe whatever she could to make the birth of her daughter a very happy occasion in her grief. But in her grief, she took it a bit too far.
Believing the color of Felicity's eyes were a sign of great things to befall the girl, her mother doted on her. Spoiled her. Made sure she had the best she could get. And she always had the best. From clothes to school tutors and supplies. Anything the girl's little heart desired, to help her on her way to great things.
Felicity, on the other hand, never did believe there was anything special about her eyes. But who was she to destroy her mother's dreams, when it got her so many high quality things?
Aspirations: To be a Reaper. Felicity thinks Majin to be filthy creatures. Stealing the hearts of higher beings and feeding on them like a parasite for the rest of their life.

Character Name: Virgil Thorne
Character trying for: Male
Player Name: Honeybii
Race: Human
Quick Bio: Virgil grew up as a single child to his mother, a witch, and father, a non-magical fisherman. During his youth, Virgil mainly stayed indoors with his mother, helping her with her homespun spells and potions, never finding much interest beyond books. He grew adept a making simple spells, loving how such little effort produced such great magic. While his mother never attended Academy because of her weaker magical signature, it became clear that Virgil had the makings of a true Ars Lilium and he was thusly enrolled to the infamous school when he came of age.
Aspirations: Virgil's current goal is to become an Ars Lilium and learn as much as he can in the process. He has no interest in the Cerberus Knights, content to help the lesser of the population with helpful spells like the ones he'd learned when he was younger. His aim is to give to the great good of the people while clinging to his love of study.
