Forest Bay The Return Of Magic

Name

: Alana Hishiro

Age

: 25

Race

: Yokai

Appearance

:

Bio

: Born into a family of Yokai, Alara experienced a fairly short happy period during her childhood, until their sacred home in the Forest Bay wood was burned to the ground, and her family hunted for their tails. Disguising herself, she fled the scene, leaving their shrine in a mess of blackened timber and ashes. She grew up alone, and her life was not an easy one.



She almost starved, until a kind human woman took her in and fed her. The kindly woman looked after Alara until Alara reached the age of 16. At this age, Alara wanted to strike out on her own, and thanked the woman who had become like a mother to her, and tentatively revealed that she was in fact a Yokai. The human woman simply laughed, and told Alara that she'd known all along. This cemented Alara's faith that life is not black and white, not all humans are evil. She knew that she wanted to dedicate her life to the care of others, and took up practice as a healer.



Now, 10 years later, she's grown adept at using her powers, hiding when she needs to, and her medical skills are top grade. She made a living helping those that couldn't help themselves, and did not discriminate- magicals or humans, no difference to her.



Alara is kind, intelligent and forthright, but also deeply suspicious of others, distrusting, and blunt.



Powers

: Illusion, Blue Fire Manipulation, Acrobatics, Yokai Powers

Weapons

: N/A

Role in Town: Travelling Medic


Cursed Memories: Alana was sheltered in a spell when Forest Bay was radicalised. Her reappearance in town will spark some slight magical presences, and it'll be her job to try to speak to the main cast and remind them of the time before the change. She's known in town as a medical practitioner, which she did before the change, so she will use this to perform recon.








Name

: Vendetta (real name unknown), also is known as "V" to followers

Age

: Appears around late 20's, real age is impossible to know

Race

: Widow

Appearance

:

Bio

: Vendetta is a savage Widow from the lands beyond Forest Bay. When the signal went off, she was one of the first to visit the town, along with her cult followers. The spider tattoo that feeds her magic is especially vicious, so much so that she doesn't remember being anyone but Vendetta. For some reason, she feels an abhorrent hatred for Forest Bay, and wants to see it burn.



Vendetta was cursed with the tattoo some 20 years ago, despite her appearance. Her followers are equally as insanely devoted to it as she is, and some even willingly offer their shadows to it, causing their minds to derange further.



She is a remorseless savage of death and destruction, with an unholy appetite for the demise of those in her way. Despite this, she's also a skilled tactician, an intelligent predator.



Sometimes, her hatred for Forest Bay is tinged with another, very different feeling, one that she doesn't understand at all.

Bio: Effie lived a short childhood, seeing as she grew up in a large family name. Since she was born the female was placed under strict practices to follow into the footsteps of her family. She was born into greatness, it would be a shame if she was anything but that. As a young child, Effie was always an energetic, happy go lucky individual. No one hardly took the female seriously due to her playful manor. However, as she grew older and her skills began to be put on showcase, it terrified those in her clan. She's extremely powerful, and is even next to become supreme in her clan. Although, she does not see the reason or grasps the motivation to do so.

Cursed memories: Grown in a church household, the young girl was secluded from much of Forest Bay. Spending her time kneeling at church pews, eating, and sitting out in nature, she's never been seen playing or with any friends. She was mute to the point others thought her voice to never exist.

However, she was always scared of spiders. The night that changed her life, she envisioned herself becoming the spider, eating all that was caught in her web. Snapping out of her slumber, she looked at life through a different lens. She then took a hooded robe and walked to the creek.

Name: Bazyl Musa
Age: 25

Appearance:
Race: Human
Role In Town: Mayor’s Assistant
Weapon: Sword
Powers: Vast Intelligence, Water Magic
Biography: Bazyl hails from the Musa family, a popular family within Forest Bay’s small town. From birth, Bazyl was recognized as an exceptional talent. He showed an aptitude for learning, developing formidable skill in different subjects: history, medicine, astrology and combat. It’s a well-known fact that if you need something, anything, Bazyl Musa can definitely help you out. Whether it’s simple manual labor help or complicated medical advice, Bazyl is usually the go-to. Despite his string of successes, Bazyl has grown frustrated with the limits of his knowledge. The frustrations fermented deep within him, drawing the devilish Djinn Ozuhus toward him like a moth to a flame. Ozuhus claimed to have enough power to satisfy Bazyl, all he need offer was his soul. A practical fellow, Bazyl initially refused but in the days that passed the Djinn never escaped his mind. After fourteen moons, Bazyl formed a contract with Ozuhus who took refuge within Bazyl’s sword for the duration of the contract. After forming a contract with Ozuhus, Bazyl began to study arcane magic in secrecy.
Cursed Memories: Though he’s lost his memories, Bazyl is still a jack-of-all-trades. Still well versed in history, astrology and medicine. Though he’s fallen short when it comes to combat. Instead of his previous self-employment, Bazyl now works directly under the mayor as his personal assistant. Sometimes that means Bazyl gets to handle large responsibilities like seeing to the delivery of official documents or getting that quad long shot grande in a venti cup half calf double cupped no sleeve salted caramel mocha latte with 2 pumps of vanilla substitute 2 pumps of white chocolate mocha for mocha and substitute 2 pumps of hazelnut for toffee nut half whole milk and half breve with no whipped cream extra hot extra foam extra caramel drizzle extra salt add a scoop of vanilla bean powder with light ice well stirred.... Needless to say, Bazyl hates his job and hates his boss. Something tugs at Bazyl saying the Mayor is purposefully picking on him but he can’t ever prove it.

Name: Ozuhus ‘Oz’ Draheim
Age Several Millenia
Appearance:
Race: Djinn
Role In Town Mayor
Weapon: Armed Personnel, gun taped to the underside of his table
Powers: Smoke/Fire Mimicry, Enhanced Conditions (Durability, Strength, Speed), Phenomenal Cosmic Power
Biography: Ozuhus was born from smokeless fire eons ago within the Kaf, a mythical emerald mountain range which encircled the Earth amid a parallel dimension. His creator, who was also the God of this Earthly realm, ordered all Djinn to bow before humans. The leader of the Djinn refused and so he and his kind were cast out of paradise unto the human world. During this time the world was very hostile, something that Ozuhus enjoyed. He spent his days learning more about the ‘humans’ he was ordered to obey and the world they inhabited. Very quickly, he became known as a violent spirit toward the humans, granting wishes in exchange for their very souls.
Fast forward a several millennia, Ozuhus has found himself in the company of Bazyl Musa. Unlike most of the humans Ozuhus has encountered, Bazyl seems almost impervious to his tricks and schemes. Very intrigued by Bazyl’s strong sense of spirit, he’s formed a contract with the young man. They are to be bound to one another so long as the three wishes remain intact at which point, ownership of Bazyl’s soul goes to Ozuhus.
Cursed Memories: After granting the wish for all magic within Forest Bay to dissipate, Ozuhus took over full time as Mayor of Forest Bay. Despite his past affiliation with chaos and disorder, he’s run a respectable ‘business’ so far. The City is prospering financially and people aren’t dying victims of violence. He handcrafted most of the cursed memories floating around town in order to keep those capable of disrupting the wish at bay. Since he and Bazyl go way back, not to mention Bazyl was a particular thorn in Ozuhus’ side, the new Mayor placed Bazyl directly under his command. He loves tormenting Bazyl with busy work. When out of the office, he frequents many of the main cast’s establishments such as V’s Beaudelette's Blooms and the bar Lana tends to. He’s even received a couple ‘blessings’ from The Forgiven.

Name: Saleme Speyers
Age: 24
Look:
Race: Witch
Role In Town: Librarian and Coffee shop owner
Weapon: None
Power : Advanced Fire Magic: Saleme most offensive skill grants him the ability to create heat and then flames what sets him in the advance class is that his fire attacks can create magma and his ability to manipulate the flame he controls has grown to a level where he now seems to be able to change the colour of his flames.
Weapons: Tome – Saleme carries a tome full of spells and potion recipes granted it is rare he ever actually opens the tome or uses it due to the curse his potions recipes and tome is missing.

Bio: Born into one of the founding families of Forest Bay Saleme Speyers grew up a rather sheltered life. A wealthy yet controlling family Saleme grew up in a manor deep in the woods of Forest Bay. Sent to Paris when his powers began to manifest when he was seventeen Saleme spent five years studying in France with a family friend before returning to Forest Bay after sensing the beacons activation.
Saleme has not returned to his family home and instead is now living above the town bar and working there as waiter this has resulted in Salemes father sending the family familiar to keep an eye on him.
Saleme doesn’t have a supreme viewing them as dangerous he has avoided many other witches and made enemies with a few for refusing their offers especially after he gained the ability to wield different coloured fire. During an encounter with another fire wielder Saleme acquired a scarf made of a specific rare fur.

Cursed memories: Saleme has lost his edge since the curse struck he believes that the tragedies that befell his family have just been bad luck. Seeing that he had nowhere to go he moved into the same apartment building as the mayor aid granted he is barely ever there due to over working himself constantly.
Saleme has inherited a lot of money and land but found himself working at the town library just to keep busy and when he isn’t there he is at the coffee shop he owns handling inventory. Often looking tired and over worked he has been known to fall asleep at both places.
He does seem to be followed around by a black cat every now and then which he has named Snuggles.

It was midday in Forest bay it had been regular like all the days since the curse hit weather that always made the mayor happy and the town was flourishing it didn’t have major problems anymore but every now and then something small popped up.
Saleme was currently dealing with one of those small things as he held his door open as several teens went out grumbling about him.

“Hey!” he snapped looking very annoyed as he heard one of them.
The group of teens he had thrown out his coffee shop for being disrespectful commented on his age and how the coffee shop interior design was well a relic as they were leaving.
They didn’t pay him anymind though and just carried on about their way leaving him at the door with a irritated expression on his face.
“I am not middle aged…” Saleme muttered to himself his tone showing that comment clearly bothered him as he picked up the cat that was sat outside his coffee shop “it’s okay snuggles you can have the milk I was going to use in their coffee…” he muttered.

Today may have been going like any other day but it wasn’t any other day because this was the day that things were going to begin to change just nobody going about their daily routine knew about it yet after all before the curse hit everyone knew it wasn’t going to be a fast process but it was the best they had.

Alana blinked, as all of her memories rolled past her. Down the hill, Forest Bay looked positively idyllic, and completely devoid of magic.

"Only my magic survived....I need to warn the guys..." She spoke, before hurrying down the hill.

= = = = =

The bell tinkled as Violet looked outside her flower shop to see what the ruckus was. She saw Saleme, throwing some young vagabonds outside of his shop. She smiled gently, the young people never seemed to appreciate Saleme's retro style decor, and were too young to appreciate the subtle blend of his freshly ground coffee.

A cola down by the park would suit them better. She smiled warmly and waved to Saleme from across the street, and took to arranging some new lurid lilies that she'd placed in her outdoor planters. The shape and vibrant red of one of them stuck out to her, and she blinked a second, her whole world turned black, and a shrieking laughter cackled and echoed across the street.

Before she had time to react, or even scream at this strange and scary vision, she was back in the street, Saleme had gone back inside his coffee shop, and she shakily got back to her feet after crouching by her flowers. She looked up, and saw a strange girl staring at her in the street, eyeing her warily. Violet hurried back into her store, embarassed. Maybe she made a noise during the day terror, and the girl thought she was crazy? Bad for business. She sighed as she entered the store. The nightmares were only at night, but now they were in the day, too? This was terrible.

= = = = = =

Standing in Main Street, Alana blinked as she realised she'd stared perhaps too hard at the woman outside the flower shop. "Why in the actual hell is Vendetta dressed as a soccer mom arranging flowers?" She muttered to herself, before continuing down the street, absent mindedly looking in the coffee shop window, to see Saleme, behind the counter. He WORKED here? He was the one she wanted to see.

Stepping inside, she blinked at the decor, but knowing Saleme's temperament, didn't comment. The curse may not have fixed his sense of taste.

"Hi, there!" She spoke warmly, treading lightly. Her presence in this cursed town was sure to send shockwaves. "I'm Alana, the doctor's assistant. Has this charming little place always been here?" She smiled.
