Aurea

NAME/ALIASES. Aurea Moretti AGE & BIRTH DATE. 27+ & February 18th, 1996 SPECIES. Aspect GENDER & PRONOUNS. Female & She/Her or She/They AFFILIATIONS. Lupercal OCCUPATION. Queen and Alpha of Lupercal

History

Bitten wolf. Aurea was born the proud daughter of a proud family line, a familial coven of witches and lycans alike with a legacy pounding in their veins. Forged in Etruria, The Ivy coven had spread across the globe, survivalists that adapted with the ages; Aurea was a witch descended from those that Salem failed to burn. In her veins were the generations of lycans before her and the witches who’d pinned all their hopes on their future daughters. Even as a young girl, Aurea had a penchant for fixing things; she wanted to know how the world worked, and her competitive spirit made her want to be the best. A silver spoon had been placed in her mouth at birth, but even this wasn’t something she felt she earned, and all that legacy became sour when her mother’s mind fell to the will of vengeful spirits. Shepherded into the care of cousins, Aurea was raised under the roof of an auntie who was more matriarch than her mother and an older cousin who was more akin to a father than a brother. A vigil through the long night kept her from running straight and a safe place to come crashing down in case she ever burned out, but Aurea’s destiny was in the moon that she’d always called mother and the family that existed on the fringes. The Ivy Pack was bonded to the coven, a family line that had been bitten ages ago and remained in the proud familial pact. This was what called to her, and this is what Aurea walked towards willingly; the power that flowed through her was wild and untamed, so when Aurea took the bite, she knew that it was an unknowable step toward what fate had in store for her. The Moretti line was secure; her brothers were sovereign and marshal, but her path was still undetermined. She’d find herself reflected in different parts of the world, on the road with nothing but what she could carry on her back, a trailer hitched behind her until she landed in the city that decided the fates of so many. Aurea fought tooth and nail alongside the senate and her brothers to win back the world ripped away from them; when the Fates decided to give her a second chance, Aurea didn’t back down. Soldier. Heroine. Champion. Alpha. Queen of Lupercal, Aurea was not born into divinity; she was not some God’s chosen warrior or favoured victim; Aurea earned her power the hard way; through tears and violence—a pillar among The Ivy, and leader of the most significant pack the world has ever seen.

Connections

Lycaon: Creator of the lycan line, every lycan can trace their bitten heritage back to Lycaon. The First Alpha has allied himself with The Lupo and fought shoulder to shoulder with Aurea during the events of The End. 

Fenrir: A proto-lycan, the lythari has allied with The Lupo, Lupercal, and their new Queen; Aurea has been acknowledged by Sehanine, which makes the Alpha a point of interest to Fenrir.

Nettelia: Asked very nicely to act as an ambassador between the Pyramid and Lupercal, Nettelia agreed because she likes to see women succeed. Also, she knows Octavian is in Lupercal, so this is a way to keep an eye on him. 

Octavian: Allied with The Ivy and residing within Lupercal, Octavian stands behind Aurea, and while he’s dangerous, he’s also a valuable asset.

Abilities

Destined: In or out of wolf form, Aurea has unmatched strength, speed, reflexes, and senses. 

Lycanthropic Blessing: Aurea can turn any mortal creature into a lycan through prolonged physical contact, and with her howl, she can force a shapeshifter back into its original form.

Immortal: Aurea does not age, is highly resistant to magic, her skin is nearly impenetrable, and any mortal wounds will heal instantly. 

Pack: Can communicate telepathically with her pack and perceive the surroundings of her pack when they're shifted, using their sense and seeing through their eyes.

Weaknesses

Silver: Poisonous to her, the metal will burn her upon physical contact. While silver weapons are not able to kill Aurea, they are the only thing that can weaken her or cause her significant harm.

Blessing: Aurea must have prolonged physical contact to turn someone into a lycan, and this blessing must be accepted willingly.

Alpha: Any supernatural creature that looks at her will recognize her as an Alpha.

Lupercal: If the pack completely disbands, Aurea loses her abilities as an aspect and will return to a regular lycan.

NAME/ALIASES. The Stallion that will Mount the World & UTP AGE & BIRTH DATE. Prehistoric & UTP SPECIES. Horse & Aspect GENDER & PRONOUNS. Male & He/Him or He/They AFFILIATIONS. UTP OCCUPATION. UTP

History

Sleipnir was not yet even born when the fate of their family had declared their fate, Sleipnir’s grandfather gave up his eye for knowledge and with that came the power that he believed could alter the course of destiny. However, as any horse would neigh, there was no escaping the shoes of destiny once they were fitted in place. They called Sleipnir’s mother/father a trickster, Loki with their great deception had lay with a giant’s stallion, Svaðilfari. Svaðilfari’s monstrous seed produced a horse of epic proportions, Sleipnir was but a simple, gray foal when they came hoof stomping into the world. Bucking and nickering as they made their presence, and their obvious noble dominance, known to the rest of their siblings. Hel, Fenrir, and Jormungandr; they three were very uncomfortable with the situations surrounding Sleipnir’s birth, but he was not like them. Truthfully Sleipnir was not like any of the monsters that Angrboða had bore and raised in her cave, where druids would someday learn how to transform from a person to an animal, Sleipnir was an animal who learned how to transform into a person. 

Wild, unbroken, and free; Sleipnir could not be tamed. While their siblings were dredged away from the cave in chains, Sleipnir was gifted to the All-Father as a mount to ride into battle. However, the eight-legged horse God would never yield to the man responsible for hurting their siblings, so instead they broke free and rode off into the Otherworld. Their hooves brought about cataclysms and in time they made their way into the realm of the mortals where antiquity was still budding. Sleipnir taught Chiron to heal and led the centaurs in their ancient rites, those who tried to sit upon him were quickly thrown, the stallion and sometimes centaur who had broken free but had not forgotten his family or where he’d come from. As the world turned, Sleipnir's people retreated from the realm more and more, ruination fell upon once sacred sites and the indomitable and spirited horse nickered thoughtfully and sometimes seductively alone or in the company of others. The fall of the Aesir saw the return of Sleipnir, as Fenrir tore off his captors arm, Sleipnir was there to trample the Gods with eight, mighty hooves. Clip. Clop.

Shoed: Iron will burn Sleipnir and if he stomps on it it'll disrupt his hoof attack.

SATHANAS

NAME/ALIASES. Satan AGE & BIRTH DATE. Prehistoric & UTP SPECIES. Archfiend GENDER & PRONOUNS. Male & He/Him or He/They AFFILIATIONS. UTP OCCUPATION. UTP

History

Upon the battlefield Sathanas was known by The Great Old Ones as one of the fiercest combatants among the seraphim. Relentless, bloodthirsty, and hungry for battle. Bested by The Lord of the Deep, the Elder Evil looked down upon Michael, Tisiphone, and Sathanas and declared that they three were the strongest among their kin. Their lives were spared while the rest who’d come to destroy him were not. In order to survive, Sathanas had to battle over the bodies of his own kin, a relentless war that promised an end; a world entirely for him and his siblings. Ulthar had promised it, even as he charged ahead at the front of the infantry while the Gods hung back behind him, Sathanas truly believed that someday the mortal realm would be his. The war ended and this did not come to pass, instead they entered an era of peace ushered in by the arrival of the fey. Mortals sprung up as the world was terraformed and Eden was forged, here Sathanas grew restless, hateful, and it was here that his great ire began to fester. 

Sathanas was not born to be a sentinel, he was born to be a soldier and a warrior. At every turn he sought violence and conflict while wrathful contempt festered within his heart, his grudge to bear was that this was the shape that Ulthar had made him, these were the attributes that his father divined. Yet, the original sin of Lucifer’s rebellion was regarded as a disrespectful surprise - if Sathanas had been built to be the wrathful hand of God, then how could his father begrudge him what was his right to be angry? For all that Sathanas was, battling against his own family was a fight that filled him with discontent and in that discontent his hatred festered further. He, the greatest fighter among the seraphim, was made to use his skills against his own kind and spill his blood for the sake of a cause they all should have been in agreement upon. Humans were pathetic, inferior beings and it was clear that Sathanas and his kind were the rightful heirs of the mortal realm. Still, defeat fell upon him and his co-conspirators and to the fifth level of the Abyss Sathanas was sat, there they built a well to the deeper levels and the City of Dis rose around it. Subjugated by his sisters, the Erinyes, Sathanas was still King of this level of Hell. As he sat upon his cruel throne he twisted the hearts and minds of the chaotic fields of the eternal battle outside his great, flaming city. He crushed the power of the archfiend under his boot and took it for himself: bloodthirsty and feral. Oztalun broke down the gates of the Inferno and in Sathanas’ wake the City of Dis fell to cataclysm, to the gates of Elysium the monarchy of hell cast the Gods into the stars and sent them running for their lives. A throne for Lucifer, and a new battlefield for Sathanas.

PHOBOS

NAME/ALIASES. UTP AGE & BIRTH DATE. Prehistory & Unknown SPECIES. Daimona & Aspect GENDER & PRONOUNS. Male & He/Him or He/They AFFILIATIONS. UTP OCCUPATION. UTP

History

Forged from terror and panic itself, daimona were common creatures in the time of the elves. Concentrated emotions that pooled together and created something with thoughts and feelings of their own. It was once the sacred duty of Machin Shin to sweep the Otherworld clean, to keep the painful things  like Phobos and Deimos from coming together. However, the Black Wind fell to corruption and in its absence Phobos and his brother began to take form. Where the spellplague went, panic arose within the elves that they would be next: perhaps the person they had come into contact with were sick, or maybe someone from a visiting realm. Hysteria grew as the Moon Gates were closed one by one to prevent the spread of the virulent disease that affected those with magic, rotting them from the inside out with its scarlet decay. Rot and filth that consumed everything in its path, to date the elves had neve faced anything of this kind and as civil wars and rebellions spread out the empire had begun to crumble from within. The anxiety and terror that the spellplague caused across the Otherworld was what gave Phobos his form, it was this great panic that erupted the daimona into creation.

Outside the realm of Hyperborea, Phobos and his brother lingered in the shadows as the fleeing elves left what was once the seat of their empire behind. Towards the mortal realm Queen Yidhra and her daughter Titania led their people and on their heels Phobos and Deimos followed behind. They grew larger and more powerful with every step, the panic, terror, and fear that the twin daimona fed off only made them stronger. It was addicting in its own way, but as embodiments of panic and fear they felt it just as keenly as those who passed it to them. Within Eden the twins were barred from entering, but that did not stop the panic within the elves as they tried to sleep at night - the pain of their past trauma quietly eating at them. The spellplague was contained on the other side of the Otherworld, but that panic would still creep in, what if someone they knew was infected? What if it came to the garden? As Eden burned, Phobos wandered within the Otherworld, hungry to enter the realm but barred from it. Trivia encountered the brothers, bested them, then took pity on the spirits of fear and panic- she gave them physical forms and in doing so gave them the power to enter the realms physically. Into the mortal realm and antiquity, panic descended.

HEMERA

NAME/ALIASES. UTP AGE & BIRTH DATE. Prehistoric & Unknown SPECIES. Aspect & Goddess GENDER & PRONOUNS. Female & She/Her or She/They AFFILIATIONS. UTP OCCUPATION. UTP 

History

Daughter of the Night and the Darkness, sister of the very breath of the Gods, Aether. Hemera was born amidst the Seldarine’s rebellion against the Great Old Ones following Lathander’s death at the Last Battle. It was there as the Dawnstone shattered that it embedded itself into many, raising them up to the rank of a celestial elf, for some their divinity was squandered and slowly faded, but for Hemera she rose to meet it. In her youth she was a beacon of hope for those who wished to rebuild, she and her sister were not the heroes of that first and what the Seldarine called the Last War, but the humble students and the hope for the future that was distilled from it. Bright and accomplished with magic, it was said in those days that daylight flooded the room wherever Hemera entered, and as her magic grew it changed her as well. Hemera and Aether rose to stand among the Seldarine, their heralds and their companions and some of the first among them as other Gods rose above the ranks below. In time Hemera fell in love, a hunter named Orion who was among the most beautiful of the common elves, he was an uncommon friend of the young God Artemis and one that Hemera eventually wed.

Rebellion stirred in the heart of the elves and it was Aether who would be one of the first of the Seldarine to fall in the subtle sparks that were beginning to ignite across the World Tree. True to his vow to Queen Angharradh, Aether did not die, but she became the first of the dead goddesses that were bound to Arvandor. Orion too fell on that fateful day and the rage of the day that followed put down the rebellion with such ferocity that the extent of its brutality was never spoken of among the Seldarine again. The Sun Elves were loyal patrons of Hemera and through them she worked to put down the budding commoners that worshipped at the feet of the royal houses. Hemera stepped away from the Seldarine, still a member among them but as the Sun elves grew to venerate the Love of Sune, Hemera receded and chose to live upon Elysia. A realm upon the stars where she could gaze upon the constellation where her husband Orion had been cast, faithfully awaiting the day where the hunter’s soul would be distilled once more. It was there that she served at Ulthar’s behest, there that she remained as others went to the mortal realm to reclaim it from the Great Old Ones. Hemera brought the day to Eden, venerated by the first people until Ulthar’s children ultimately rebelled, until Perses proved that even Gods were vulnerable, and that Helios’ wrath had no end. From Elysia Hemera and so many others were chased, her home ruined as the blood of the Gods fell from the gilded thrones, to the mortal real she returned once more, to find the person who vanished her stars from the sky.

HELEN OF TROY

NAME/ALIASES. UTP AGE & BIRTH DATE. 3200 & UTP SPECIES. Aspect & Human GENDER & PRONOUNS. Female & She/Her or She/They AFFILIATIONS. UTP OCCUPATION. UTP

History

Helen’s story began with a wedding, though she was still a young woman and was miles away from the occasion at the time. Divinity wed mediocrity as Thetis was made to give up her stature as goddess as a means of ensuring that a prophecy would not come to pass; a minted druid now forced to marry a mortal King, the affair was attended by much of Elysia. Eris, Goddess of Strife was inflamed at the notion that her invitation had never arrived, so she sent an apple to Ulthar’s scribe and instructed her to toss it for the fairest. The Gods contested for the apple but in the end it was Eros who secured it for his wife, Psyche, by promising a shepherd boy the love of the fairest mortal of the realm. Helen of Sparta. Pricked by Eros’ arrow upon laying eyes on Paris, and Helen immediately fell in love as she was whisked away. To Troy where they venerated Apollo, the Gods of the Seldarine quarrelled between one another as they contested and pitted their subjects against each other.   

Helen’s fate hung in the balance, no longer of Sparta but now of Troy, she was made to live within the walls for many years. She befriended the mad oracle who ranted a sort of lunacy that no one believed, all the while awaiting the day that she and her husband Paris would be left in peace. She never imagined that Troy would fall, when they wheeled the Horse within her husband had already been killed and Helen had remarried; she paced the wooden structure and mimicked the voices of the many wives within, calling out to them as only a wife could. When there was no sound from within, Helen approved of the gift but then looked on in horror as rivers of blood flowed from the walls of Troy. Menelaus, Helen’s first husband, returned her to Sparta, and there she was Queen once more. As those around her aged and died, Helen followed suit; then she opened her eyes again. A gift or a curse Helen could not say, but she would live a mortal life and then reincarnate into another. Again and again without end, fate’s web had tangled around her, tied her intrinsically to the affairs of the Gods and left her once more to the whims of time.

GALATEA

NAME/ALIASES. UTP AGE & BIRTH DATE. 2500+ & UTP SPECIES. Aspect GENDER & PRONOUNS. Female & She/Her or She/They AFFILIATIONS. UTP OCCUPATION. UTP

History

Skin that was once carved from ivory, and a life that was meant to be set in stone. Galatea was not born, but created. She was carved by the King and master sculptor, Pygmalion of the island of Cyprus. It was said that Pygmalion's sculptors were so realistic that the eyes would seem to follow a person around whenever they entered the room. After his late wife left him to take up Venus’ dark gift, Pygmalion became obsessed. He resented the hetaerae and the priestess of Aphrodite who venerated the original vampire and poured everything into his work. Locked away within his shop for hours on end, the people of the island began to whisper that a madness had set in, though as Pygmalion toiled he produced countless works that stood head and shoulders above any other. A man of mortal means but seemingly supernatural talent, the pinnacle of his great work came from the statue that he would name, Galatea. Beautiful beyond compare, Pygmalion fell in love with the statue and paid the Goddess of the crossroads, Hekate, in fair tribute to bring the statue to life. 

Imbued with a life force that was drawn from the aether, Galatea’s marbled exterior cracked away to reveal the exquisitely carved woman within. A Queen for Cyprus, and a wife for Pygmalion. She would be her husband’s muse though she did not have the freedom of the women of her island, her life was in the workshop and in the palace. Strictly forbidden from entertaining anything further she watched the world unfolding from outside her window and quietly daydreamed of what it meant to truly be human. Galatea did not age, but in the years that followed her creation she learned that she could give birth. Her daughter, Paphos, became her reason for being. Her reason for living, but she too was a royal prisoner in a gilded cage. While Paphos was still young, Galatea looked out at the waves and devised a plan, one day she took off running and as Pygmalion chased her into the sea. Galatea wrapped her shape around him and dragged him down to the dark depths, she had murdered her husband and King, she could not return, but her daughter became Queen of Paphos and in the stories that persisted she lived a long, beautiful mortal life. Paphos married for love and died knowing what her mother had done for her. Galatea did not age, but she persisted just the same, never changing, but ever-growing as she continued to ask the question: what did it truly mean to be human?

Phobos, Deimos, Keket, and Remus: Phobos and Deimos were the first spirits given life by Trivia, Keket the first woman resurrected, and Remus was the first terror. Galatea was the first statue brought to life by the original witch.

GAIA

NAME/ALIASES. UTP AGE & BIRTH DATE. Prehistoric & UTP SPECIES. Aspect & Paragon GENDER & PRONOUNS. Female & She/Her or She/They AFFILIATIONS. UTP OCCUPATION. UTP

History

Paragon and goddess, Azathoth brought her and her sisters into creation and together they built the bedrock of the World Tree that would someday be called Faerûn. She and her fellow paragons birthed the goblins that were to the Underdark what the elves would someday be to the land above. Gaia wed the draconic deity Azharul and from him bore the next generation of dragons: Oztalun and Tiamat, the elder dragon Azharul had a habit however of consuming his own offspring, so Gaia stole the twin dragons away in secret and fed Azharul stones instead. In private she raised them, reared them, and then taught them how to cut off the centre of the elder dragon’s power. Gaia, paragon and mother of earth saw the creature fall after being forced to watch for years as he consumed their children, grateful to watch him burn she recused herself from matters of the World Tree. Even as the toys of her children, the elves, rose up against the Great Old Ones, Gaia took no part in the war. Gods did not truly die, but they could suffer, and these were lessons that children had to learn.

As a paragon, Gaia’s power was inherently tied to the well being of the realm, at her height the Dawn Court blanketed the realm under Oberon and Hyrsam’s control, and at her weakest it was under the dominion of the Elder Evil’s and her own children. Gluttonous kids who only knew how to take, leaving the earth barren and fruitless, their defeat was another lesson that they were made to learn. When asked to fight alongside the Seldarine, she refused, but it was the healed heart of her son, Oztalun that permitted the creation of the Inferno through her depths. Gaia let the prison be built into the bedrock of her true form, as the body she manifested upon the walking realm was an avatar. Her true shape was beneath the Otherworld, beneath even the Underdark that had formed over her, Gaia the paragon, a city of goblins, magic and innovation with her essence the beating heart of the realm beneath the realms. The mother of many and the friend to few, her intentions and motivations have always been her own. Once again her children Oztalun and Tiamat have risen, squabbling spawn contesting for rights, even after all this time it seems that they have lessons that need to be learned.
