Name: Jeri Blackowl

Gender/Preference: Female, aggressively heterosexual
Title: Mage
Student/Scholar/Graduate: Graduate of Marik.
Residence: Born and raised in Marik. Moved to New Meridian as soon as she could.

Magical abilities: Earth, fire, spells, necromancy (which she keeps secret; she discovered her talent for it on Silk Road), jinx.
Appearance: Blond hair, pale blue eyes. She likes to wear heavy, dark eye makeup that makes her eyes look even more stark. She's very slight, so much so that she wears high heels in public to appear taller. She likes tank tops paired with short skirts on the stage. Off stage she tends to dress in jeans with the highest heels possible.

Personality: Loud and brash. Jeri doesn't know how to take no for an answer.
Strengths: Liberated.
Weaknesses: Opinionated.
Quirks: She sees criticism as a challenge to rise to.
Secrets:

Biography: She grew up in Marik in a rather uptight household. Her parents always wanted her to the say/do the right thing. If she didn't live up to their expectations she was grounded (or worse, made to tag along with one of her parents in public). They insisted that she receive top grades in school and forced her to join a ladies choir, thinking the women would prove to be a good influence on their wild daughter.

She wasn't as wild then as she would grow up to be. As soon as she graduated Marik she moved to New Meridian and cut off most contact with her parents. She calls annually on her birthday to check in, but it usually ends badly and she spends the rest of the night drinking to forget she even tried.

She worked in a brothel on Silk Road for awhile to get by, but ultimately the work wasn't what she wanted in life. She thought to use her talents as a singer, oddly enough that this skill was something her parents cultivated. She worked as an entertainer on Silk Road until a band picked her up to be their back up singer. Eventually her talent outgrew the band who gave her a shot and she split off to find her own group. Within months she was the front woman for her very own all girl band, Black Hallow.

Black Hallow is quickly climbing the ranks of fame and enjoying success similar to that of Team Ramrod. Jeri isn't entirely sure what to do with her new found fame, but she's decided to take it while she can.

Biography: Gunnar Ferguson

Gunnar Ferguson

Cellist for Team Ramrod

Name: Gunnar Ferguson
Age: unknown
Gender/Preference: Male. Bi.
Title: Mage, unknown shapeshifter.
Student/Scholar/Graduate: Did not attend Salem Academy.
Residence: New Meridian.
Familiar: Has no familiar.
Magical abilities: Iron. Fire. Abjuration. Illusions. Shapeshifting.
Appearance: Has a few tatts here and there and random colored streaks in his otherwise brown hair. Sometimes he's clean shaven and other times he has a goatee and/or mustache. Rarely has he worn a full beard. He likes t-shirts and leather pants or torn jeans, he's particularly into wrist bands and black nail polish.

Personality: He's in love with his music and pretty intense about it. He can get very focused on a thing, like a particular line in a song that's not quite working right, until he can resolve it.
Strengths: He's good at what he's interested in (ie: music and the rockstar lifestyle).
Weaknesses: He's a little too good at the rockstar lifestyle and is frequently hung over.
Quirks: He also plays Classical music, but this is not something he shares lightly.
Secrets: That he's Circe. Even the guys in the band don't know this.

Biography: He was raised and hearth taught on Linoa island. He taught himself how to play the cello during his many travels away from Linoa island.

He once had a pregnancy scare with Seramela Arnatuille, but he's convinced he wasn't the only possible father and took no responsibility for the child.

He got picked up to play with Team Ramrod, a semi-popular band before it took off. Their meteoric rise to fame in Aylasia propelled Gunnar (who's actually Circe) to stick with the band and ride the wave of their popularity. When they're not on tour, Gunnar essentially disappears, because he turns back into Circe.

Why he decided to audition for the band is something yet to be discovered. The band needed a guitarist at the time; he walked in with his cello and blew Pete and Zed away. At the moment, Team Ramrod seems to keep going through drummers (their last Billy was straight edge and the band's drinking and drug habits scared him off). Their newest, Nik, doesn't spend much time with the band.

Title: Shapeshifter/Weaver

Weaknesses: She's incredibly irrational and fairly insane. She's more grounded as Kit, but has wide swings of emotion.
Quirks: She never forgets a face.
Secrets: She's Ohana's daughter. She knows Circe killed her life match.

Biography: Amaterasu was born on Linoa island. She is the daughter of Ohana Hitomi and a shape-shifter native to the island. Her mother was exiled from the island for some offense involving her weaving magic. Given the choice to stay and never weave again or leave her daughter behind, Ohana had to chose weaving (she knew it would kill her to live on Linoa without being able to make dreams).

Ama was raised by Circe on the island until the age of 13 when Circe was called to the mainland on some important business. Being left to her own devices Ama got herself into some kind of trouble that her father had to bail her out of. With Circe gone Ama's father felt it was time to tell her the truth. He shifted into Ohana's shape to show his daughter her real mother. Ama's personality crystallized in that moment, locked in place and her 13 year old body from that point forward. Every so often she would shift into the form of her mother (because in a way it was the only way she could be with her mother).

She escaped to the mainland and began to sneak around, weaving dreams where she would. Her father shifted into her form to protect her (because she would have been dragged back to Linoa and punished severely for leaving before the appropriate age). She needed to see and find her mother. She also wanted to understand her weaving ability, because she had been forbidden to use it on Linoa.

In the process of weaving dreams randomly she found her lifematch in Nix Rathsas. This was a bit of a complicated thing. Weaving his dreams she knew what Aries (who is actually a persona of Circe) had done. She felt loyalty, both to her lifematch, but also to the woman who raised her. Torn between them she kept secrets from both (she couldn't tell Circe that Nix was still alive; she couldn't tell Nix who attempted to kill him).

Circe eventually learned that Nix was still alive. She found him and killed him in his sleep, not realizing that Amaterasu was weaving for him at the time. Ama's mind was still connected to Nix as he woke up dying; she saw that his killer was Circe in her Aries persona. Ama didn't know enough to disconnect her mind before Nix died. Part of her died with him; as a result Ama cannot age (mentally or physically) in her base persona. She is trapped as the little girl who lost her life match.

Ama has never properly processed this loss, nor has she figured out how to deal with Circe whom she has never told the truth (because then Circe would know that she was on the mainland).

Years later (between Graves and Beyond) Circe returns to an enraged and irrational Amaterasu (who snuck back to Linoa Island before Circe beat her there). She puts the girl on lockdown. It isn't until years later when Ama convinces Circe that she won't do anything crazy that Circe lets her loose again. Ama spends years gathering the resources to travel to the mainland. Now that she's on the mainland she's been stalking her mother and her mother's other daughter, Chloe Wells. She wants to be close to them, but she's afraid she'll be left behind again.

Circe has yet to discover that Ama is no longer on Linoa, but once she does it's certain that she'll travel to the mainland and Ohana to warn her that her crazy daughter is on the loose (considering she never realized she was on the mainland the first time).

Amaterasu developed the persona of Kit Blue while on the mainland the second time. She met Zed Turner at a party and lost her virginity to him. Kit really loves Zed, but she knows if she tells him what she really is she's endangering both him and herself. She's been debating renouncing her abilities and being stuck in her Kit persona, but not before she settles some business with her mother, half-sister, and Circe.
