Astrid The Blood Witch


Who is she

A 24yo wild mage who used her bloodbending abilities to survive and protect her family at all costs from an abusive wild clan. She's more of a knight though as she's an excellent fighter and tank - hand to hand and sword combat. She is a bit aloof, defensive and cautious but she means no harm and won't hesitate to offer some help if you need it. She's just been through a lot and it's hard for her to live past her trauma, but she won't stop trying.


Where she's from

● She grew in a small farmer town, Erast. She fled the Order with her mentor and lived on the road for years all across Ivras.

● She followed art studies near Faline before running from her abuser, then wrecked havoc in fighting pits to survive and put her anger to good use.

● She got enrolled by a wild clan (a gang really) in the Sunless Jungle who ended up even more fucked up than first planned and had to fight for them against her will. She met her partner there, did her best to protect him (and vice versa) and when the violence cost too much they both fled, again, using their magic and with Alektô's lifesaving help. They found a shelter in one of their friend's hometown near the Rithan Ocean and began their healing process there.


Currently

Astrid left her two partners to follow a journey she has to do alone and meet her mentor and parents she hasn't seen in years. She crossed Ivras from the Rithan Ocean to Mead and is currently stuck in the nearby forests with Blight Wights. Her next stop is Erast, and if her mentor isn't there, Faline.


Plot ideas

● Astrid could meet you in the forest, and help you fighting or fleeing Blight Wights
● She could teach you how to fight
● She could use the help of an experimented bloodbender to learn, or any mage for real
● She's gonna need money soon. Once in Faline, she may have to go back to the fighting pits, unless she finds something else ?
● If you wanna flee or mess with witchfinders


Connections and relationships

● Nothing romantic, she has two bfs already
● Friends, colleagues or ennemies from Erast, traveling or Faline. It can't be from Namarast !
● She's a protector at heart, if something hits home she quickly goes ride or die for someone

Alektô The Fury


She isn't in Anathema yet as I'm polishing her but I'm planning to add her soon so I'm looking for plot ideas in advance ! Her magic is a wip but will be along the lines of enhancing another char's abilities for a short period of time and fire from her demon

Who is she

A 66yo order mage who despises Miriam and witchfinders. She believes in comprehension and education, not fear, ignorance and punishment. She's a mercenary and a monster hunter ; monster as in anyone being cruel to innocent people (murderers, abusers,...). Her services come with a price, but to the desperate, abused souls she will do them a favor and help them.

Aside from her job, she's fancy, extravagant, a party goer and slightly unhinged. It's easy to find her in mundane events, art expositions, shady bars and cabarets. She also has a dragon who is her familiar/demon. Their bound is incredibly deep, it's a duo of sorts.


Where she's from

She comes from a family of ancient nobles in Faline, her father was a judge and her mother a thief, and she grew in Namarast. She travels a lot though when she doesn't teach there to meet new mages, discover their abilities, give them books or tips to spread knowledge. She also runs around to find people to help and others to murder.


Currently

She left Namarast due to the Order's stupid shit and relocated to Faline. She wanders around following her instincts and her missions.


Plot ideas

● She's available if you need a mercenary for business, or if you're desperate enough to call upon an unhinged half corrupted witch
● She would gladly participate in anti-witchfinders shenanigans
● If you need a diva for whatever reason, she's in
● If you want company to drink, bitch around and have fun in a cabaret she's also in
● She could meet ex-colleagues from the Order or old souls like her
● Or meet future or past persons who need(ed) their help
● Open to your ideas !


Connections and relationships

● Friends, ennemies, colleagues, hook-ups, whatever. She's into women and dramatic beings
● Not sure dating her would be the best option but you can still try
● Targets she has to burn
● Lost souls who need her help
