Samantha Gray
Sam is a nephilem of great power, she bears the prophetic title of
Echidna as the one who will bring about the
return of monsters and magic. Due to her nature she is considered one
of the most influential figures in the world by those aware of her
existence.
Sam is capable of most known magic, and possesses the ability to use
magic and science together to make otherwise impossible spells and
devices. Due to her title, she is immune to mental assault, but lacks
offensive power in the same department. She is known in particular for
being able to heal even age from people, and to transmute entire
junkyards into neat blocks of different elements. She bears the Sin of
Pride.
Archmage Arram
When Sam began to awaken as Echidna, one of
the very first people she summoned was Arram, an archmage from the
previous Era who had been trapped in time due to a miscalculated spell
As per his rank, Arram is a mage of incredible power who is often
underestimated due to his easygoing attitude. He possess invaluable
knowledge about the previous Era and its magicks and creatures. He has
a Cloudkeeper Dragon as a bonded Familiar, nicknamed Demi.
Alice Gray
Due to a fertility ritual gone horribly wrong, Sam was able to get
pregnant as a Nephilem, with her vampire husband Thomas. Their only
child, a little girl named Alice.
Alice is a strange case, due to her Nephilem heritage she grew and
developed quickly until she reached the physical age of about 14 by
the time she was years old. She possess the title of
Dreamseer and can not only visit other
peoples dreams, but record them from memory and modify them at will
regardless of distance. She bears the Sin of
Gluttony
Corrin Bray
Corrin is a regular human who got into The School on full
scholarship just like Sam. His backstory and family history isn't a
pretty one, but he's managed to be Sam's roommate since she started at
school. The two maintain a very close platonic relationship as Corrin
is in a relationship with Blake, Robin's roommate and the two of them
consider each other something akin to brother and sister
Due to accidental teaching, Corrin has learned how to use Magic, and
seems to specialize in Illusions.
Robin
One of the most ancient vampires alive, Robin was turned at the very
end of the previous Era, making her several
billion years old. However, by her reports, she spent
the majority of that time in a stasis like coma or sleep, and has less
than 50,000 years of actual waking time to her name. She is almost
always found reading or trying to do so.
Robin is the longest standing Fate, being
the oracle of the Present, she is the one who gave Sam the first
prophetic reading that she was
Echidna although she has no memory of this.
She can see all that goes on in the present around people she's
remotely close to or linked with. She can read the minds and transfer
memories of sleeping people. In addition, she possesses great wisdom,
and acts as an advisor and voice of reason to those who know her, even
her "sister" Fubuki, values her input, despite their age gap. She has
read, reportedly, every book she's ever seen, and fondly remembers the
Library of Alexandria. Due to her reading, she possesses a great
understanding of magic despite not using it.
Fubuki
Fubuki is the oldest active character in history, being a just a
thousand years older than Robin, who she considers her sister, but
unlike Robin, she has been awake for basically the entire time,
barring one Ice Age. She leads the House of Esper and the vampires
within it and also acts as the world leader of Italy. She has lived in
Italy for several centuries and slowly built up an esteemed reputation
with the Vatican Church, particularly with the new Pope, who is more
empathetic towards Vampires.
An original Nephilem turned Vampire and then returned to Nephilem,
Fubuki possesses indescribable depths of knowledge regarding magic,
history, and culture. She possesses frighteningly powerful
Telekinesis, able to manipulate kinetic energy at a level of precision
out of reach for most actual mages, and she kept this power even as a
vampire. She can leech kinetic energy from objects to cool them down,
but does so at a rate that shatters most material. She can reverse
this to heat the world around her. She rarely uses her ability for
things other than typical telekinesis.
Ares the God of War
Despite the terrifying power Fubiki has, to freeze lakes, trigger
volcanoes, and reportedly shatter a continent, when people
in the know speak of true overwhelming power. They all think
of Ares, as the founder of the
House of Ares he is where their powers
descend from. Reportedly, he is retired out of sheer boredom due to
being unable to enjoy fighting in the modern era of ranged combat.
The powers that his house possess are all watered down versions of his
power. Which is a form of Kinetic manipulation pushed to an extreme
that borders on reality-warping. When some of the greatest members of
his house tap into their Ares Rage they lose control of
themselves, crackle with energy, and emit tangible heatwaves,
sometimes even melting or burning nearby objects. Ares sears the life
out of countries and simply absorbs energy thrown towards him. Making
him effectively unbeatable without the use of magic, and virtually so
even with it. Lately he has become an avid gamer due to the
possibility of a challenge amongst pro circuits.
Lucifer Morningstar
An ancient Nephilem from Fubuki's time, known throughout history as
Lucifer the Fallen Angel. Currently acting as the mysterious
headmaster in charge of
The School and playing a powerful role in the UN.
The headmasters powers are vastly unknown, preferring to perform
actions from the sidelines and to observe as things unfold. His
opinions on histories view of him as the devil are unknow, however
Fubuki claims he's one of the better people, and as such, gives him
the benefit of the doubt.
Maria Espinoza
Maria is a regular human, albeit a shockingly healthy, in shape, and
genetically clean due to various healings from Sam. This is in stark
contrast to the rest of her family who, until very recently, have
lived in some of the worst states of poverty in the U.S.
Maria possesses no magical abilities and quite possibly no magical
talent. She is however a fantastic cook and chef, and frequently makes
food for everyone at Sam's house. She teaches Alice about cooking and
frequently made projects with her as they grew up, including making a
dragon out of fruit. Which Arram then enchanted to fly around.
Zachariah Gray
Sam's older brother Zach spent the majority of his life involved with
drug running and vampire hunting, the former used to fund the latter
he would have continued on this path had he not ended up in a
relationship with the vampire, Penicilen.
Zach and Sam's parents were brutally killed by vampires when they were
young children, while Sam went away to various foster homes, Zach
ended up in seedier areas. Due to a mixture of luck and skill Zach has
been a successful Vampire-Hunter for many years and has his own group
of hunters with him. Since evolving back into a Nephilem from his
family crypt, he has all the physical attributes of a Nephilem
including powerful wings.
Penicilen
Penicilen, or Pen, is roughly 15,000 years old as a vampire, and
possesses the unique ability of healing and preventing poisons and
diseases, thus the nickname Penicilen. She claims to have been born in
what is roughly the icelandic region and is one of the more benevolent
and kind vampires.
Penicilen obtained, shortly after the death of her previous husband
400-500 years ago, the ability to heal in addition to curing and
preventing diseases. As she has been rather dedicatedly eating animals
instead of feeding off people, her healing ability has grown to
something bordering resurrection. Having healed people from a fair bit
past the brink of death as much as 5 days past their expiration.
Raphael Gray
The son of Zach and Penicilen, Raphael is an odd one. Despite being
fairly reserved and calm, he is easy to tease as he gets flustered
easily by people close to him. He is a genius who absorbs knowledge
like a sponge. Like his cousin, he matured physically faster than
humans, at a rate of roughly 1 year physically per 2 months
chronologically.
Raphael has the unique ability to Blink, that is teleport himself, or
parts of himself, a distance away. As a young child he frequently had
to visit his mother for healing when he improperly detached or blinked
away pieces of himself and couldn't reattach them correctly. Now he
can blink across countries by taking quick "short" jumps of only a
hundred or so odd miles per jump. He can also detach pieces of himself
and continue to use them, such as leaving an ear on a wall, and
reattach them remotely.
