Age: 21
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Deity: Terarria
Skills:
Natural medicinal remedies- Using flowers and herbs to create teas, poultices, essential oils, compresses and etc to cure or relieve ailments of many varieties. Included in this is the in-depth study of flora and fauna, everything that can help you and everything that can hurt you. It's extremely important to know what you are working with and identify a plant correctly… else you could wind up poisoning yourself or your patient.
Archery- Ahmy is very passionate about preserving her culture in various ways, one of which is practicing and perfect the art of archery. She's become quite an excellent shot.
Cooking- Ahmy loves to cook and bake, you'll often hear her humming a jolly little tune as she works in the kitchen.
Sewing- Whether it's simply mending of her clothes or creating the beloved traditional regalia of her Cherokee people, Ahmy is quite handy with a needle and thread. Her nimble fingers have produced quite splendidly beautiful beadwork.
Powers & Abilities:
Chlorokinesis- The ability to either hyper stimulate the growth of plants and controls the movements of plants already existing in nature.
Stimulating plant growth requires concentration, it will not work if Ahmy is not permitted to focus on her task.
Controlling plants is a little bit energy consuming and using it for little things here and there is not very taxing, but using it for more than 30 minutes at a time (with like a twenty minute rest in between) or to do something grand-scale can leave her feeling weary and fatigued.
Commune with the Earth Mother, Terraria- Ahmy can place her palms upon the Earth and do a number of things. She must choose one at the time she attempts to commune with Terraria. THIS ABILITY IS ONCE A DAY.
- Ahmy can open herself up and allow Terraria to communicate with her what she wants of her in a particular situation via a sharing of feelings and emotions, she is allowed three questions of a yes and no nature. The answers are usually a pleasant and sweet smelling warm breeze for yes or to mean something positive and a cold breeze for no or to mean something negative.
- She can focus hard and gain understanding of the terrain and where safe drinking water can be found, she can also know the location of animals and human life in the immediate area. This is limited to a mile distance extending out all around where Ahmy is situated.
Personality: Ahmy has a very kind and serene demeanor as her normal everyday personality, she is compassionate and loyal to no end, she cares deeply for nature and enjoys spending time outside among trees and flowers as often as she can. It always makes her a little sad when Winter begins to set in and puts all of Nature into a quiet four month sleep.
Ahmy loves to make other people smile, be it with her exquisite cooking or just with a clever little joke... heck even a hug when someone really needs one. It always makes her feel all warm and fuzzy inside to have had something to do with a smile on someone's face. People smile too infrequently it seems in passing years and smiles do much to make the world just a little bit brighter.
This young woman loves deeply and is not afraid to make an emotional connection with another person, she always has room in her heart for another friend and she is sometimes quick to fall in love, though she's working on trying to reign herself in a little on that and slow down, she reminds herself it is important to stop and think a little more clearly when the heart starts thumping that lovely little romantic rhythm as to avoid getting your heart stomped on like a discarded elephant ear at the carnival.
Like the forces of nature though, Ahmy can occasionally have a volatile temper, but this is quite rare for her... usually only in times when she has been dealt a just downright god-awful insult or been slighted in an unforgiveable fashion. Or heaven help the soul responsible, if someone were to harm those she has come to love and consider her family, Ahmy's wrath would rival the tempestuous hurricanes or volcanic eruptions known to man. NO ONE hurts her loved ones.

Height- 5'5
Weight- 130 lbs
Shape- Hourglass (40D Breasts, waist 28 inches, hips 35 inches)
Background: Ahmy was born on the great plains of Astoria to a peaceful tribe of Cherokee Native Americans, she has grown up raised by her Shaman Grandmother, Awinita Proud-Bear, her father's mother. Ahmy's mother and father disappeared when she was two… Awinita remains adamant that the Earth Mother Terraria's sworn enemy took them to punish her for standing strong even after so many eons.
The 'Earth Heart' tribe has always been devout followers of the Earth Mother Terraria, they worship her and do her will to care for the Earth in every way they possibly can, through mortals means, spiritual and ritualistic… making them a very tempting target for anything out there that might hate Terraria. Ahmy's mother was training under Awinita to one day take over the tribe's lead Shaman when Awinita was ready to retire and rest her weary shoulders… Ahmy often thinks about her parents and wonders if they will ever come back… or if some terrible evil enemy of the Earth Mother Terraria really did take them.
Now, it will fall to Ahmy to one day take over as the Shaman of her people… her Grandmother says it is clear that this is her destiny, as evidence has begun to surface more and more ever since her childhood that Ahmy has been chosen and blessed by Terraria's own hand. She has the Earth Mother's favor and she is called to serve.
This is cemented further when Ahmy's letter arrives, inviting her to come and learn more about herself, her abilities and her duties to her deity.
With her Grandmother's blessing, Ahmy heads off the academy.

Name: Sebastian Nobis
Nickname: Bastian
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Deity: Lunari
Skills:
Occult knowledge and practice- Sebastian is extremely well versed in the occult, he aggressively studies just about every form of it that exists… excelling in the darker varieties above all others. Not that he admits this aloud to anyone, people are quick after all to pass judgment and quite honestly… get in the way.
(The following is GM knowledge only and would be deemed meta-gaming without prior discussion) Sebastian's favorite and greatest talents are with necromancy, he's gradually becoming a very skilled and dangerous necromancer. Experienced practitioners would call him a prodigy of the craft.
Historical and cultural studies- Sebastian has always been fascinated by the history and cultures of the world, he spends a lot of his free time studying all of that. If you wanted to know something that happened in the past or a particular culture of people, he's your guy.
Painting- Sebastian is an exceptional artist, his most beautiful works of art being oil paintings and on occasion, watercolors.
Languages- Sebastian is freakishly good at Latin, Spanish, Irish Gaelic, Welsh and Haitian Creole.
Powers & Abilities:
The Dead Speak- Sebastian has the ability to see and speak with the spirits of the dead. He is tasked by Lunari to assist spirits that come to him in crossing over to their proper after-death destination.
Opening himself up to the dead for more than two hours at a time in between an eight hour rest is extremely taxing upon Sebastian physically and mentally as the dead tend to draw copious amounts of energy to themselves when they come to him.
Magick adept- Being chosen by Lunari, Sebastian is able to wield arcane magick of just about any variety with little to no difficulty, it's as easy as learning to ride a bike for Sebastian. He is exceptionally gifted with conjuring and transfiguration.
While magick in general is walk in the park for Sebastian, the art of conjuring and transfiguration (the art of turning something into something else) can be exhausting depending on what exactly Sebastian is trying to do.
Conjuring something simply like maybe spell regents is nothing, but trying to conjure something like money or large objects like a car, that would require that Sebastian is permitted to have a rest of at least an hour or more.
He's good at illusions as well, images that appear real but do not move or make any sound. Touching them immediately dispels the illusion.
Personality:
On the outside, Sebastian is elegant and charming, he is the very picture of sophistication and graceful refinement. He is respectful and traditional when it comes to the ladies and how to treat them. In short, he is the ideal gentleman.
On the inside, all of that remains true… although things get more complicated… Sebastian is bitter and resentful of his health matters, he is angry and doesn't understand why this is happening to him.
In some ways, Sebastian can be quite cruel and bordering on sadistic, he is largely unphased by the suffering of others, though this has not always been the case. He is exceptionally good at hiding this side of himself.
Sebastian is good at people. He's good at deceiving and manipulating them in a wide variety of ways. No one ever suspects there is a monster lurking beneath that beautiful and elegant exterior.

Height- 5'10
weight- 150 lbs.
Background:
One might call Sebastian an Anti-Villain.
This young man never started out as a cruel and sadistic evil shitbag and in some ways, doesn't really want to be, but how do you fight deep rooted anger, bitterness and a corruption that has spent years wriggling its way into your heart?
Sebastian was abandoned at four years old on the steps of the Temple of the Divine. He has no memories beyond that.
They are certain the reasons for the abandonment is the rare and baffling blood disease that he has… it makes him feel tired and fatigued often, he requires a blood transfusion once a month to keep the disease from killing him by the time he's 30.
Finding that this boy was chosen by Lunari, they believe it was the Goddess of Darkness's will that they save him and in turn, enable him to do the dark goddess's will in the world as the other chosen of Lunari are destined to do as well.
The truth is… while the blood transfusions help, the strongest factor in Sebastian's health progress is when he reached his early teens… and discovered he had a powerful talent for Necromancy… the forbidden magical art of death itself.
He discovered rituals that allowed him to sap little bits of life energy from others at the temple, only small tiny bits that would go unnoticed, from several individuals at time once per month around the same time as his blood transfusions… he continued to do this completely under the radar for years.
When he turned 18… things took a turn for the worse for Sebastian… his blood disease grew more aggressive and for a while, the temple believed they might have to move up to two transfusions a month.
Desperate to live, a weak and fragile Sebastian made his way into the nearest town in the dead of night… he came upon a beautiful blonde woman stepping out of a dwelling after some rather scandalous extra-marital stepping out on her husband… he used his own captivating good looks to lure the woman into an alley under the pretenses of some bonus passion with a handsome young stud before she went home.
She never saw it coming when he pulled his knife and jammed it into her heart… he covered her mouth to thwart her attempts to scream and began chanting his dark words… he could feel it as her life essence was siphoned into him, her weakened dying body unable to resist him as he pulled more and more until there was nothing left to take.
He left her there, colorless and dead on the ground and returned to the temple.
Everyone was astonished at the way Sebastian had made such progress overnight, but did not question it much as they were just relieved that he had made it out of those dangerous woods and was still with them.
Meanwhile, Sebastian had gotten a taste of intoxicating power, power over life and death… and he liked it… he liked it a lot… necromancy was so much more than he ever thought it could be and he was excited to see what new doors he could open next…
At the same time, he felt conflicted… he loved his Goddess Lunari, he loved that she valued him so much that she tasked him with such a sacred duty as guiding and counseling the souls of the dead. He loved her so much that he never had and never would consider devouring the souls that came to him. They were precious, they were sacred.
He knew what Lunari would think of his dabbling in Necromancy… it was unnatural and tampered with the balance of life and death… but what choice did he have? He did not wish to die before his time. He could not die, he had too much to do. He would only go when he was old and gray, when he had lived his natural mortal lifespan on this Earth, just like all the other chosen.
He could only hope that Lunari could find it in herself to forgive him… because he was uncertain when he would need to kill again…
Speeding up to present day, Sebastian is diligent in his Lunari duties and has often been tapped to show around new arrivals. He has been doing exceptionally well health wise and his blood transfusions have lessened to once every three months. The temple is hopeful that eventually, he will no longer need them at all anymore…
