Omen Donwick

The middle child of Lothaire Donwick's lot, Omen's other father incurred a bloodline curse after breaking a magic mirror belonging to a witch. They cursed him and his descendants to have bad luck until the mirror could be restored to its former glory- an impossible task given the frame itself was broken beyond repair, and the witch themself melted it down to use its metal for other items. Lothaire killed the witch(and the other father) in his fury, but the damage was done- and the kitten who'd receive the curse next was already on the way. That child was Omen Donwick- who, despite having a safety net in the form of genetic vampirism, grew up constantly afraid of the world around him and the disasters it inevitably wroght. The worst of the effect is on Omen's magic, which when cast directly always backfires. Because of this, Omen casts ritualistically- with a particular talent for summoning and necromancy. 

Despite his fearful nature, however, the unexplained have always fascinated Omen- in a world full of magic, the mysteries of the world pique his interest like nothing else does. He's a frequent poster on the Radio Wonder forum- doing what he can to investigate the mysteries surrounding dark magic clubs, disappearances, and what lies beyond the boundaries of the world. With whispers of eldritch influence at his college, and his Cursebreaking professor acting erratically, however, what lies beyond may be closer than he realizes....
