Name: Pandora Lachesis
Nicknames: Dora, Pan
Gender: Female
Age: Pretty slowly

Faction/Race Reaper - Moira
Natural Ability: Moira can sometimes see visions of the future, but they only see one-third of the vision - the beginning, middle, or end, depending which house they are from.

MORE DETAIL HERE:

Moirae reapers have an affinity to FEAR much like any other reaper. However, their abilities lie in FEAR through time and not space. Moirae can see into the future, or a future at any rate. A Moira's ability to see more accurately to who, what, where, and when they want to comes from practice and a better grasp on FEAR itself, and the visions they have before adulthood are either beyond their control, or poorly directed even with the best concentration. They tend to see people, places, or objects they're familiar with as the anchor of their visions. The only ones this power doesn't work on are themselves and other Moirae - their futures can never be seen, nor will they be seen in the futures of others even if they end up playing a role in them. They also have a much harder if not a completely impossible time pinpointing those whose FEAR command is greater than their own, so young Moirae will not have the ability to peek into the futures of their teachers or anything.

A Moira reaper never sees a complete vision of any event, and are stuck only seeing a specific one-third of a vision. Clotho will see the circumstances that lead up to the event, or portents/omens. Lachesis will see the journeys and dangers, or trials. And Atropos will see merely the end results of the event, or consequences.

The accuracy of their ability is difficult to gauge in current times. The full story of any vision can only be pieced together from the combined sight of a Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos, and the three families have been feuding for as long as anyone in Halloweentown can remember.

(( The only time Moirae would be able to see something that is really and definitely going to happen is if another player would like an accurate reading of a non-META future event for their own character, because they have already plotted for this stuff to happen. Moirae will never be able to see meta anything ever for any reason so don't even ask. ))

Personality: Pandora lives in a state of constantly overcompensating. She's outspoken because she's short. She's overconfident because she's young. And she's eccentric because she's afraid she's not scary enough. The pressures of being heiress to the family has been a constant presence in her life, and her greatest fear is that she can't live up to it.

That's not to say Pandora is incredibly serious. On the contrary; out of the sight of her parents' incredibly judgmental gaze, she's easygoing and craves attention and knowledge. For her the best method of coping is distraction, having fun, and doing everything she couldn't do as an heiress-in-training. The pressure lives on in the form of Vaskania, the pride of the Lachesis family personified through her FEAR and used as her weapon. Vaskania is always critical and paranoid, to compensate for Pandora's near-lack of both traits.

Pandora has been sheltered throughout her life, and no matter what she's read in books or heard in stories, none of it prepares her for some of the more unusual entities and occurrences at Amityville. It's very easy to surprise her, confuse her, or especially, trick her, as she's extremely naive.

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? Under pressure from her family, Pandora is being sent to Amityville to investigate rumors of a boy from the Clotho family enrolling there. Normally she'd be homeschooled like the rest of her famiy - she sees it as both a rare opportunity and a dangerous challenge.

Weapon/Familiar? A peacock familiar named Vaskania (greek for jinx).


A peacock familiar named Vaskania (greek for jinx), all white with black and white striped wings and red eyes. Not 100% sure how the eyes should be on the tailfeathers. I am fine with either stylized eye symbols or even a bunch of different realistic eyes on the feathers in all colors and pupil types. CC!

FEAR: Evil Eyes (Tainted Fang dice mechanic)

When Vaskania channel's Pandora's magic, his feathers turn completely black with absorbed FEAR. Vaskania spreads his tail at an enemy and directs the FEAR at them through the now-monstrous or demonic eye symbols on the feathers. His feathers quickly fade back to normal after the attack.

A successful attack requires eye contact with these 'evil eyes' by the target. The FEAR-powered symbol is a temporarily magical meme which works as a psychic poison of sorts, causing damage over time until it wears off.

If the FEAR isn't channeled or directed incorrectly, the move may accidentally be seen by Pandora or an ally first, or simply not charge up Vaskania correctly and fail to even happen. Or Vaskania can just be kind of a d**k about the whole thing if he's not happy.





Physical Description:
Eye Colour: Glowing yellow
Hair Colour/Style: Banded black red and yellow in the same way as a CORAL SNAKE (red touches yellow). Dreadlocks. Tied into two super long pigtail bunches.
Skin Colour: Dark
Clothing Style/Colours: CC. Cute, trendy. Don't follow my ref art, I just needed to draw something basic on her clothes-wise. Her 2 themes are coral snakes and the Evil Eye.
Extra: Short character.

ABOUT MOIRAE REAPERS

If there is one bet you could make safely, it's that humans fear the unknown. And in particular, they fear the future, the quintessential example of it. They always have. Tales of bad omens, visions of death, and prophecy gone wrong exist throughout mythology. But just as much as they fear what is to come, do they fear those who already know it.

Enter the Moirae.

Moirae are reapers whose abilities let them see incomplete fragments of the future. Traditionally, Moirae used their abilities to scare humans who sought out their advice in the form of fortune telling, and have taken many forms in human mythology. Unfortunately, they don't always tell the truth - Moirae in the past who have lied or misused their abilities and reputation have hurt the creditability of present-day seers.

Given their strong connection to the future, it may come as no surprise that they are all about the latest trends and the newest fashion. Most Moirae today pride themselves on designing 'haunt couture' runway fashion. Not even the Moirae can predict if their designs will become the next big thing - they can never see themselves or their influences on the future in their visions. All part of the challenge and the glory, they'll be happy to reassure you.

Moirae are few in number even for Reapers, and matriarchal. They can be male or female, but there is a traditional bias toward favoring female Moirae over their male siblings.

The three families of Moirae are Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos. Even if one is not part of the main families, they are descended from one, and can only see a specific one-third of visions that gives away their lineage. Moirae are always taught to be prideful of their own family, and hate, despise, and slander the other two.

ABOUT THE HOUSE OF LACHESIS

...

THE FEUD OF THE FATES

The origin of the feud is shrouded in mystery and ignorance, but no one in Halloweentown can remember the last time the Moirae ever worked together. Currently, the three houses of Moirae refuse to use their sight to work with one another, or on the same job, or even on the same job at different times, Despite a complete and utter lack of communication, they are notorious for knowing exactly who's been talking to their 'enemy' houses through use of non-Moirae spies in their employ. To approach one family is to seal your fate with the others - their pride is such that they will refuse to do any sort of prophetic business with anyone who has so much as approached a different house about it. Consequently, no one has ever managed to get a complete fortune told.

The stubbornness is such that even the Bogeymen can't stand to deal with them for long and usually refuse to accept any of them. There have been rumors of runaway Moirae joining the Trick or Treaters, which makes all the houses slightly apprehensive about it as a career choice for their children. This ensures it as a continued haven for any disillusioned or ostracized Moirae, provided they keep a low profile.

Effectively barred from work in the human world, Moirae these days turn their attention to fashion. The three houses each have a fashion label, and the three are bitter rivals on the catwalk as well. Fiercely competitive, Moirae usually pour most of their energy into trying to help their label win a prestigious yearly fashion competition, which they proceed to lord over the other two for the next 12 Octobers. And there is no such thing as playing too dirty, of course.
