Character Name: Caramia. Tells people her name is "Carabel" as a alias most of the time Player Name: Sapphire-Cyanide Race: Majin Aspirations: To become a good person without fooling herself, to believe in it. Personality: Generally soft spoken, but not people shy, this little lady can usually be seen busying herself in the Lumena Castle Town library or in the rural town of Calrus Arbor. Though most may see that she prefers to keep to herself, she actually enjoys a bit of company to occupy herself with; stranger or friend, it doesn't matter to her. This is because she knows that in order to survive, she needs the magical energy from witches of all kinds. She does not like what she is and sometimes even refuses to accept it depending on her mood, but in the end it is what life made of her. On most days she is generally polite though not cold in her words like some people tend to be. She tries to be as convincing as she can that she's a good person and can become a better person... or at least, she tries to make herself believe that. This secretive Witch Eater generally tries to keep most information about herself quiet and under wraps, preferring to keep subjects mostly on the person she may be chit chatting with and have them talk about themselves or others. She has a sort of interest in all sorts of people and likes to learn about the various differences that have made that person what they are currently. She finds the studies of people and their psychology fascinating, hence why she is mostly in the library reading up on all there is to know and learn. This is so that she can use such techniques to trick people. She doesn't want to cause harm, nor mean to, but if it helps to hide her identity further away, than so be it. On some days the hunger pangs for a Witch Heart is bad, but she starves herself, trying to push it out of her mind to make herself stronger and believes she can over come this. But of course on some days when the hunger is as bad as it can get, she can't help (and is set full of guilt) but set out into the rural town in the dark of night to capture some poor magic user and devour their life force to the last drop. There is a small rumor around that area that there is a strange "porcelain doll monster" of sorts that has been sucking the magic dry out of some people. These attacks are very rare it seems. Short Biography/background: Born as a Majin into the world, the young woman had no childhood start, but instead took the form of a pale, young lady. She took form in the woods of the rural country town called Clarus Arbor, and emerged from the forest into the fields in a daze. It took awhile for people to notice that this person was never in the town before, and when asked where she came from she claimed she could not remember... though she had known very well where her birthplace was and what she now was. After watching humans for some time in her magical swirl of a ghostly form, she had learned that people did not seem fond of Majin who admitted their lack of a real heart. Convinced the girl had lost her memory, a lovely old couple told her that since she seemed to be of age and that she must have had some sort of magic, to attend the Makai Royal Academy for witches. Understanding the small "mission" given to her, she thanked the people with a small handshake. In this moment, a small amount of energy had been withdrawn from the old man without his notice, and she set off in the direction they had told her to travel. Being born into a physical form took a lot of energy, and she just needed a jump start to get her going was all. At least, that's what she convinced herself to say. It took the young woman awhile to travel there, but she had and enrolled herself into the Academy that had welcomed her with open arms. Keeping to herself but making small acquaintances here and there to siphon energy from, she learned to keep back the hunger of what all Majins wanted naturally: a Witch Heart. The pangs of hunger knocked hard on her as she tried to push it back on a daily basis. She was able to keep the hunger back and locked away inside her for quite a bit of time, at least until she was able to graduate from the Academy. She felt successful and proud of herself. The girl had learned much of not only the magic she was born from, but of other people, their personalities, ways of thinking, and magic use as well. She had taught herself on how to act like a convincing human being for the most part. As a graduation gift from a "close" friend, they had bought her a pair of puppet-like teddy bears. Though the young graduate had never showed it in school, when the students would go along to the other towns to shop and invite her, one of the friends would catch her looking into a toy shop a lot of the time. Admiring the dolls and plushies. She was grateful for the gift and thanked the student for their kindness in thinking of her. After the graduation ceremony though, the Majin vanished from the Academy grounds. She was on her way back to Clarus Arbor. Sadly, the snapping, growling and snarling roar of hunger for a Witch Heart had burst open from it's locked chest deep inside her. She went from a slow walk away from Makai Royal, to a jog, and it had turned into a running sprint out towards the countryside. "I need this. I need to devour at least one heart. One won't do me so bad, right?" She just needed to calm this beasts' hunger before it'd eat her. That's how it felt like, at least. On the inside this feeling was clawing it's way up her throat. Arriving in the dead of night where all was peaceful, she had silently slipped into a household near the edge of the woods, her birthplace, and swiftly dragged out a witch from there. With all her might and strength rushed into effect from her hunger, she hefted the panicking person deep into the thick of the brush. With new magic at her fingertips, she thrust her way into the chest of her victim, extracting their heart that beat full of magic. The moment it touched her tongue, her monstrous form revealed itself as a slightly chipped, cracked porcelain doll with a hollow look in it's form and face. Truly, this is what she was from the start. The victim fell limp in her arms as she swallowed down the heart. The monster sat there, relishing in the taste and power until her mind snapped back, and the monster from within was locked back up again. Frightened of herself, shivering there in the fallen leaves and staring at her sacrifice for her hunger, the young woman forced herself to stand. Her fake heart now heavy with guilt. She was now a monster, a Witch Eater that she had been trying to hide away for a few years since she was born into this world. After apologizing to the corpse, the woman turned away and started deeper into the dangerous, dark woods...

Character Name: Amelie
Player Name: dawns_aura
Race: majin
Aspirations: Proud of her majin heritage, she would like to be free to be herself and not hide in the shadows.
Personality: A bit hot-headed and impetuous, she is proud of who and what she is, but out of respect for her family, she follows their rules and tries to hide it, pretending to be no more than just an ordinary witch, something which grates on her nerves. She often is forced to spin tales to cover for any slip-ups she might make a skill she has greatly refined since coming into her magic -manipulation of inanimate objects and minor soul projection ( her own and only into two special marionettes)- which she uses to hunt her prey.
Short Biography/background:
The only daughter of a line of only children, she was born with the majin curse, and it manifested early on. It was normal to her, but she was always told that it was something special, something secret that she could tell no one. Lessons she learned, but did not take to heart. She was different, yes, special even. Better than her human counterparts. Why should she have to hide?
There were whispers and stories about town and more the so-called haunted woods which surrounded it. 'Don't go too far into the woods or you'll disappear.' A warning all children were given. A young witch, fresh out of the Academy, Amelie decided once and for all to find out the truth behind the stories. Truth connected to her blood and who she was.
Every witch born to her family eventually succumbed to the need to eat hearts, and she would be no different. The family had started the stories long ago, when they first arrived in the town to cover their hunting. And as stories were wont to do, it took on a life of its own, becoming darker and more fantastic with each retelling.
Soon, she would be the 'monster' of the tale. Soon the woods would become her hunting grounds. And like the pied piper, she would lure her victims in.

Character Name: Aeronwen Bleddyn Player Name: Strawberri Stardust Race: Majin Aspirations: To feed her hunger and become the strongest Majin possible despite what others view as a handicap. Personality: Collector
She doesn't make friends so much as "collect" people. If she decidies she likes someone, she will start to classify them in her mind as hers. Once she she's collected a person, there is very little than will make her turn against them. She also has a need to collect puppets, and things she can easily turn into puppets like stuffed animals, and occasionally people. Before, the collecting of dolls was something she did as a security blanket, and now it's become a necessity.
Quiet
It's not that she's afraid of speaking, she just doesn't want her own voice to cover sounds she might hear. Because she's blind, her other senses are sharper and she can hear things that others might not be able to.
Self-Reliant
Through her experiences, she's found that it's much easier and less disappointing if she depends only on herself. She takes care of herself and the things she cares about. She doesn't think about the welfare of others unless she can use them like puppets tied to a string, and part of that is her world-view of every man for himself.
Runaway
Her priority is always herself and there aren't many things that would make her stop and think before she cuts and runs. She's never found a friend or loved one that meant enough to her to stay in a situation she thinks is detrimental to her. She needs to feel safe, and if she thinks her safety is compromised, she'll run. This doesn't necessarily just mean her physical safety, it includes her mental and emotional safety.
Childish
Because of how young she is, she can still be a little immature. If things don't go her way, she will get upset about it. When she's upset, she'll likely act out and do things against the person or persons who angered her.
Selfish
Her general mindset is thinking about who or what can benefit her. She's not above using people to get what she wants, and it's highly unlikely she'll feel any kind of remorse about it. She, however, hates being used. Short Biography/background: Born blind, Aeronwen learned practically from infancy how to use her other senses to her benefit. She honed her hearing until there was very little that escaped her ears. Always a quiet child, she preferred to be indoors most of the time, playing with her dolls. She didn't seem to see things the same way others did, always acting more like a young adult than a child. The only "childish" thing she ever retained was her collections of dolls and puppets. Though she'd never been able to see her dolls, she knew each one by touch and smell. They were what comforted her at night when her nightmares chased her in her sleep. They were the friends she told her secrets to, and she knew the name of each one. Her witch eater parents had always allowed her to fend for herself, and allowed her to do as she wanted, never really disciplining her or teaching her as they probably should have. So while she spent her childhood indoors with her dolls, she played the role of "seen and not heard" when her parents would have what they called dinner parties. It was a joke of theirs, when they would bring an unsuspecting witch home to eat his or her magic. She would close her eyes and listen to them play the witch for a fool before they struck. She learned from her parents how to use others to her benefit, and as she grew older, so her hunger grew with her until one night when her parents brought home yet another witch. They had already eaten their fill, but there was a breath of magic left, as well as the tender heart itself. The organ seemed to call to the child and she came forward, reaching a hand out to touch the witch. Aeronwen could feel her parents' smiles as she absorbed the last bit of magic, and then the heart. Well she remembered the feeling of extra power and strength flowing through her as the heart infused her being. Her eyes had closed of their own accord, her arms tightening around the puppet she held in her arms. She laughed, drunk with the power she'd never had before. When her eyes opened, she gasped and stumbled. Her eyes...she could see! But it was...strange. As she moved her head, the view did not change. But when she shifted the doll from one arm to another, she realized that it was the doll that gave her sight. When her parents realized she'd taken the heart and gained more power than the two of them had dreamed of, they wanted to celebrate. They told Aeronwen that they were going to go out and buy wine for themselves and her favorite drink. Aeronwen waited, happy at first. She waited until she could hear the sounds of night life outside her window and one look around the house with her doll as her eyes told her that they were gone. They had left her. Their flight taught Aeronwen more than they'd ever bothered to teach her before. It taught her that she should only ever rely on herself, and that when the going got tough...the weak would leave the problem to the strong. What Aeronwen has not yet learned is that her parents were perhaps being a little too excited for their little girl. A Cerberus Knight happened to overhear their celebratory talk and spilled their lives on the pavement to mingle with the wine they'd bought.

Character Name: Alissa Papiyon
Player Name: Eternal Newbie
Race: Majin, lol
Aspirations: To stop the suffering of others; to understand the suffering of others
Personality: To most people Alissa is a pleasant individual. She goes to great effort to always be a proper lady. Demure and formal, she tries her best to be a gracious host or guest depending on the situation (and one can always be classified as one or the other). Alissa is a stickler for rules and gets frustrated when there aren't concrete guidelines for her to follow. She retains the same calm, placid demeanor under most conditions, and is therefore handy in a crisis. She's also a good listener who likes providing advice and has a genuine desire to help others. However, she also comes off as a cloud cuckoolander - she never seems to understand the dark side of things. Thus, others may get frustrated when she tries to lend a sympathetic ear.
This is because Alissa has been hollowed out. Her parents, in their drive to craft a perfect child, used mind-altering spells on her. As a consequence she shies away from upsetting situations, either ignoring them outright or constructing elaborate scenarios as to why they're not negative at all. Alissa is therefore unable to really grasp why people might be unhappy, despite wanting to help them. She doesn't even fully realize that she's a Witch-Eater - she doesn't eat people's hearts! She just takes away their suffering! What's so bad about that?
Short Biography/background: The Papiyon family is one of significant magical power but some very nasty rumors to their name. Alissa was raised by two very loving parents, and was a dutiful daughter. On the surface, there isn't much to her life - she studied hard in school, obeyed her parents, had sleep-overs with girls from school. Every so often she would be taken on a weekend trip to visit her paternal grandfather. She'd visit with him for a few hours, then spend the rest of the time wandering the rest of the empty mansion or playing in the neglected garden. She graduated from Makai Academy and currently offers her services at a local health clinic, serving as a nurse and informal counselor. Nothing to write home about.
But this is only the surface. Some of the rumors about her family are true - specifically that they've mastered the art of mind manipulation. From a young age Alissa was crafted to be the perfect child. Her parents have been using these spells on her for most of her life, and her grandfather would "clean" her mind on their visits. All her memories, from the 10th birthday that erupted into fights between her friends to the times she skinned her knee, were all examined for the amount of sadness they put her through and excised if they were deemed too harmful. This included any hints to her Majin nature - they knew what she was, and thought that as long as she didn't know they could hide it to keep her safe. She instinctively sipped at the souls of others but never fed deeply.
Alissa has only recently become a Witch-Eater. One of the patients at the clinic was suffering from a painful long-term disease. Alissa was the night nurse during one spasm of pain. When her patient cried out she moved without forethought, pulling the heart from the witch and consuming it in one quick motion. Her patient instantly quieted and fell still. No more pain. No more suffering. She'd uncovered another way to help.

Character Name: Asirani
Player Name: xdeathxbyxlovex
Race: Majin
Aspirations: To find her real parents and be reunited with them and her sister
Personality:
Hot-headed - Her temper can quickly sky rocket to dangerous levels within moments. She has been known to get physical when something or anyone sets her temper off.
Competitive – Growing up with her sister Kalypso’ has made Asirani competitive in the things she does. All she can think about is winning at all costs.
Impulsive – When in a competitive moment Asirani can tend to become over confident. She’ll let her emotions and the overwhelming urge to win at all cost overcomes her.
Short Biography/background: All her life Asirani had lived to be the better daughter. Always out to please her parents. But it was always Kalypso who had their parents undying love and affection. Thinking that the fact that she might be majin was reason of their animosity toward her she leaves and goes on her own to not only clear her head but to find answers to the strange feeling that she is different.
Two years passed while she was on her journey, on her journey she had gave in to the need to eat a witches heart and became a witch-eater. She finds another witch-eater who tells her that her parents are not her and her sister's real parents and that both their parents are witch-eaters. Wanting to hear the truth from the people who raised her she makes her way back home. She returns home to her town to see her family to see nothing but carnage at her doorstep.
Asirani had no idea why she returned home. She laughed. The term home had no meaning to her. She had no home. She was the monster her parents believed her to be. As she got nearer to her house she stopped dead in her tracks. Something wan't right. The first thing that she observed was the fact that the front door was wide open. They never left the door open like that before.
She got closer to the house and flared her noseitls. She caught the whiff of the most putrid oder of rotting flesh. She knew that smell fairly well. She stepped inside the house and took in the scene Bodies everywhere, holes in their chests where their hearts were supposed to be.

Character Name: Astri Bores
Player Name: Hhymn
Race: Human
Aspirations: She says it's to be princess of the world, but truly it's to make everyone her puppet.
Personality: -Manipulative
----Astri uses her words to try to persuede others to think like herself or do things for her. They may be small things like getting them to retrieve objects for her or they can be big things such as making others think she is a victim when she really the offender.
-Enjoyment in Balance
----To Astri, the bad in everything is apart of the good, even death. She takes pleasure in knowing that there is a balance; when something good happens, there is always going to be a bad event that follows close after and vice versa.
-Happy
----Astri's happiness almost never disappears. Like all other humans, she does have a wide range of emotions but happiness is the most common one that will be seen in her. Sometimes, her happiness may seem a little creepy because she enjoys seeing bad things happen. Astri can smile in almost any situation, even if her life is in danger.
-Arrogant
----Her arrogance is not that of anger but that of pure confidence, there's just too much of it. To Astri, there is no competition and therefore no need to prove herself to anyone; she already thinks highly of herself.
-Immature
----Because of her shut-in life style, Astri's emotional range is that of a young child. She can be tempermental one minute, then perfectly calm the next. Her mind doesn't understand certain things, she just knows. Unfortunately, Astri's arrogance prevents her from realizing that she doesn't truly understand what she thinks she does.
Short Biography/background: Astri was born into a human family with her father being a Cerberus Knight and her mother a common citizen during a unusually warm November night. When she was 3, Astri's father brought home twin bears for her to play with. Unfortunately when she was old enough to go to day care, Astri had a hard time making friends; she was teased for the odd coloration of her hair with only her bears to keep her company.
Once she was a little older, Astri's father began to tell her stories of the Majin. They were simple bedtime stories but those simple stories immediately got her hooked on knowing more about Majin. During her day care hours, Astri would hole herself up in a corner reading child friendly books about Majin and making dolls of what she thought they looked like.
During most of her childhood, her mother would make Astri beautiful dresses to boost her confidence about herself. The constant praise did what her mother wanted and more, slowly forming the arrogance inside of her daughter. Her mother also made several bears similar to what Astri's father had brought home for her.
It was during her academy years that Astri learned how to manipulate others and her confidence grew. Half way during her first year at the academy, Astri gained a follower. She was a young nerdy looking girl with brown hair and a soft spoken voice. But the true purpose for her pressence around Astri was to be revealed later.
By the time she had graduated, Astri's entire room was filled with teddy bears of all shapes and sizes, colors and designs. She also had a single marionette bear hanging on her wall. One day, a thought struck her; the marionette is manipulated to do things just as people are. This thought set into motion a child's dream that would later take a life. Astri wanted to be praised and adored for the sole fact that it made her feel good but the people around her wouldn't do it just because. In order for her goal to be reached, Astri new she had to gain more power; her simple puppet spells she had gained after becoming a Witch alone were not enough. Soon she turned to her faithful follower and after a series of conversations, consumed her heart. The pain was quite excruciating for a long time but after everything subsided, Astri felt more powerful than she had ever felt.
A smile played upon her lips. Now the whole world was her playground.
