The Mages

Name: Cyrus Bloom
Played By: Eve
Height: 5'7"
Build: Solid, muscled like a swimmer
Apparent Age: 34
Eye Color: Gray
Hair: Black and super curly; is usually in a ponytail, and reaches past his shoulders.
Appearance: Cyrus has a tendency to wear tacky Hawaiian shirts (claiming it's for irony's sake since he's actually from Hawaii) with khaki shorts and sandals. He wears a bracelet with a broken glass eye around his left wrist, and a white cat, whom he calls Celine, usually rests upon his shoulders. He seems easygoing, and tends not to go anywhere in a hurry.
Supernatural Type?: Sometimes, he seems to appear out of nowhere, or speaks to things no one else can see. Sometimes, all emotion drops from his face, and he speaks in a language no one understands. Sometimes, even his cat is scared of him.
Public Knowledge: Cyrus is a close friend of the Gallows family, and is helping look after their belongings in the absence of Alexander and Erica. No one's sure what his actual job is, and if he isn't at the local fishing spots, he's probably tutoring Retz or one of those other "new age hippies" in ancient burial rites or some other nonsense.

Song: Let's See It by We Are Scientists


Mage Nimbus: It feels like cold, metallic slime crowds against your skin and slithers down your throat. All color drains from the world, and a pressing sense of despair closes in on your mind. You feel that you are not safe. You are being watched, yet you are alone.

Name: Elandriel
Played By: Eve
Height: 5'6"
Build: Bit thin
Apparent Age: 29
Eye Color: Blue
Hair: Lank blonde hair that reaches past her shoulders, and could use a good brushing.
Appearance: Elandriel's wardrobe is whatever she's happened to throw on under her lab coat, which often don't match and are covered in strange stains. She has thick glasses she forgets on her head half the time, and always has a clipboard on hand. She's always flitting from place to place and taking notes, and has a habit of staring at things (and people) for long periods of time without explaining why.
Supernatural Type?: She shrugs off injuries and seems perfectly fine moments later. She's got this mad scientist vibe about her, and sometimes, she doesn't stare at you, but takes notes at something just past your sight that isn't there...or is it?
Public Knowledge: Elandriel's a local veterinarian, though no one remembers hiring her. She has a high success rate with animals, and has even helped a few humans off-duty. No one can hold a conversation with her very long before she gets distracted. Is usually seen with either Cyrus or Baeylte if she's not alone.

Song: Still Alive (Armand Van Helden Remix) by Lisa Miskovsky


Mage Nimbus: Everything is brimming with life. Everything. The world regards you as a curious enigma and reaches out. Fleeting sensations brush against your skin, your ears, your eyes. The world is bright and ready to envelop you.

Name: Nathory
Played By: Eve
Height: 6'2"
Build: Bit on the heavy side.
Apparent Age: 26
Eye Color: Left eye is gold, and right eye is visibly scarred and haphazardly sewn shut.
Hair: Blond-dyed-turquoise, reaching past his shoulders, and usually with intricate braids tied in.
Appearance: His clothes vary, save for the white coat with red-and-gold trim he insists on wearing, and the necklace depicting a stylized wing. He smiles a lot, even when most others wouldn't, and you sometimes wonder how bad things must get before he stops. Has a habit of playing with a lighter, though he doesn't smoke. Thick New Yorker accent.
Supernatural Type?: The fire he sparks has a tendency to move on its own, and there's something freaky about his gaze--though that might just be the missing eye.
Public Knowledge: Nathory's some rich kid escaping his family's expectations by hiding in a small town. He's a decent cook at one of the local diners, but is more often seen chasing down Cyrus, Elandriel, or Baeylte for one of those "hippie new age meetings."

Song: We Will Never Die by The Slants

Mage Nimbus: The air crackles with energy, and the temperature rises to dry, choking heat. The world seems to be in a drought, like even the smallest spark will blaze into destruction.

Name: Baeylte
Played By: Eve
Height: 5'10"
Build: Somehow average
Apparent Age: 21
Eye Color: Dark brown
Hair: Black and curly, with the bangs dyed bright orange.
Appearance: Baeylte usually wears baggy, androgynous clothing, and almost all skin is covered except for the face, and the hands when working on art. Glasses. Has a pet ferret, called Slinky, who is usually hiding somewhere on his person. No one's actually sure if Baeylte's a he or not. Soft-spoken, jittery, and does not like being touched under any circumstance.
Supernatural Type?: A sense of paranoia crops up around Baeylte, an oppressiveness combined with a need to run.
Public Knowledge: Baeylte's an art student at the local community college, and is often following Nathory or Elandriel around. A few of his works can be found around town, but they're macabre paintings of nightmarish landscapes.

Song: Runs in the Family by Amanda Palmer


Mage Nimbus: Hands grasp from everywhere, but you can't see them. The world warps in nightmarish Escher fashion, and takes on a slight violet hue. The shadows are long and dark, but you know you cannot hide in them for long. Keep moving.

Name: Prism
Played By: Amanda
Height: 6'2"
Build: Lithe like a runner
Apparent Age: Late teens to early twenties. No one's actually asked him recently...
Eye Color: Poly-chromatic. They appear as if the light reflecting off them is being scattered into an ever-shifting spectrum. You could almost swear they shift with his emotions, but that's impossible...right? Even mortals can see the colors.
Hair: Dark brown, worn slightly long.
Appearance: Prism comes from old money and it shows both in his manner of dress, and his interactions with others. His upbringing has lead to him desiring the praise and notice of those around him. Most people upon meeting Prism find that he seems self-involved and flamboyant. Collared shirts and fine slacks seem to be his clothing of choice.
Supernatural Type?:The lighting in the room always seems to be just right for Prism. Oh, and did you notice his eyes? Yeah.. about that...
Public Knowledge: Prism is fairly new in town, having moved recently from the Northeast. From what others have gleaned, he seems to be having some kind of disagreement with his family. Apart from that most people have yet to really get to know him. He has been seen meeting with the "new-age" hippies from time to time.

Song: Any Color You Like by Pink Floyd


Mage Nimbus: Colors shift in your vision. Blue becomes red becomes yellow becomes green becomes orange becomes white becomes grey become black. The colors seeming to take on a life of their own. Each a separate entity, yet still creating a cohesive whole. Blending, and mixing, and changing. Then suddenly everything snaps back into focus as if nothing happened at all.
