Penum'e

Penum'e

Demon
Lover
Mother

Penum'e is a demon from another dimension (it's not clear which one). Her abilities lie in several arenas. She can sense/see what people really are and sometimes what they should be. She has an ability akin to enchantment that she can weave into the sound of her voice, though she rarely uses this unless necessary (to defuse a situation, or protect someone from their actions). Sometimes she can catch glimpses of the future, but she has no control over this ability. Often it's just a way of knowing things.

One evening a young upstart named Reed Graves summoned her. She knew instantly that he'd used the wrong words; he'd been looking for a lucky demon. She caught a glimpse of a possible future, one in which she had a daughter with this man, a daughter who could potentially come into power.

Penum'e took her chances with Reed Graves, seduced and bedded him using every skill she possessed. She remained in Aylasia to raise her daughter, Reagan, and endeavored to keep her existence secret from the public at large (she was not sure why, but she knew that Reagan would come to some harm if it was known that she was Reed Graves daughter). She was always interested in the way that their daughter's ability's manifested (as they weren't entirely demon and not entirely mage).

She still has a bit of a soft spot for Reed and looks forward to sharing a yearly dance with him at the Gala Ball. His nickname for her is Pen.

Maxime

Schemer Supreme

Not a whole lot is known about Maxime, other than that he loves to plot and is Emily's right hand man.

And he's FAB-U-LESS!

Drew

Drew

Martial Artist
Student
Son

Drew is a student at Salem Academy. He is 24. His father is Reed Graves, which was kept a secret until last year when it was announced to the public at the autumnal ball. He's relatively down to earth though if given cause he will fight for something he believes in. He's trained in martial arts and likes to spar (it's something of an excuse to see his dad).

He was partially raised by Reagan's mother Penum'e and sees her as something of an aunt. He's pretty close with his half-sister and will do what he can to protect her.

Last year Drew impregnated his girlfriend Tallulah. She gave birth to twin girls Clover and Tansy. Since he can properly claim his lineage he has given his daughters the last name Graves.

Suri Chance

Suri Chance

Faerie
Daemon
Aunt and Friend

Name: Suri Chance
Age: 71
Gender/Preference: Female. Straight.
Title: Faerie
Student/Scholar/Graduate: Graduate of Marik Academy.
Residence: Salem
Familiar: None. She inherited so much fae that she could never find a familiar to tolerate her dust.
Magical abilities: Lightning, Water, Wind, Faerie, Daemon
Appearance: Her skin shimmers with faerie dust as she's frequently changing forms. Her wings are blue, green with streaks and swirls of buttery yellow. She wears sun-dresses specially designed to shift size when she does.

Personality: Curious, carefree, spirited, joyful. Spontaneous.
Strengths: She is loyal and loving.
Weaknesses: She can't maintain mage form for very long.
Quirks: Unknown.
Secrets: Unknown.

Biography: Third born child of Hamlin Graves and Samra Chance. Sam named her only daughter after her mother.

She was constantly shifting size in her childhood, as if she couldn't decide whether she wanted to be a mage or a faerie. It didn't bother her much and she continued to shift when and where it pleased it to. She was always a curious child, full of mischief but never spite.

When it came time to go to school she chose Marik. Her Aunt Teàrlag was still the only faerie teacher at Salem and she didn't want special treatment.

She decided to have a changeover ceremony just after graduating from Marik. Since then, she's had much more trouble maintaining mage form though she doesn't seem to mind it.

She lives in a quiet little house in Salem, but is frequently at the King's Palace visiting her nephews and nieces. She's distraught over the disappearance of her brother and sister-in-law, though she isn't sure how she can help.

Usable? Yes, by anyone without permission.
Adoptable? Yes, if you'd like. May be altered to suit player.

I decided to move Suri to the npc journal after retiring her from the game a few months ago. I just couldn't get her into my head and I couldn't find enough story to play her as a full time character. If someone would like to play her I'm certain she'd be involved in the family storylines. I'd be perfectly thrilled if someone adopted her as well.

Intro to the NPC Journal

Mon, 06 Sep 2010 00:51:38 GMT

This is the NPC Journal for Graves Hall.

I'm borrowing this concept from another game because I love how it works there. The basic idea is that you can play an npc through this journal, or get someone else to play your npc (or their npc) so that you're not forced to write logs/threads by yourself. Of course if you prefer to do that, that's fine as well, but this gives us another, different opportunity to play together with players we might not play with because of our characters, etc.

Everyone is allowed to play on this journal, but you also have the discretion to limit who plays with what NPC (exs: I make Peter, a LEO. I'll give permission if anyone wants to play. Or Becky makes Susan, a Silk Road Hookerbot. She doesn't want anyone but herself to play Susan. Or Sass makes Brown, a pirate. She wants anyone to play Brown and doesn't need to give permission).

Please put up bios for your npcs in this journal. They don't need to be as extensive as character bios. Please only add one icon per npc (because of the icon limits on scribbld). Feel free to add details to the bios as you discover them.

You're welcome to still play your npcs on your already established character journals; this is just another option if you'd like it.
