Setting: New York City, the cement jungle and home to the greatest Curse Energy anomalies in the world. It has an astounding number of Curse Spirits active within and outside the city limits. It rivals that of Japan, an entire country known for its outstanding number of spirit manifestations. Along with that, Japan's number of Sorcerers is also considered outstanding compared to the rest of the world. New York City is projected to rival Japan with Curse activity within a generation or two. This may be due to New York Internation status it slowly became a breeding ground for Curses and Sorcerers. Many Sorcerers travel to the city just to meet with other Sorcerers as it is far more common to meet one without being in Japan.1965's Immigration reform has been suspected of being an action carried out as an attempt to optimize the number of Sorcerers in the country, and therefore more Curse users in the future.

There has been a recent rise in Curses in New York. Some would call this an explosion, and some suspect this is being done by someone. If things are restored to normal, the situations in New York might turn ugly. There have also been disappearances within the city that could be related. Whatever seems to be going on, eyes are now watching.

The Kanbara Family - The Kanbara Family, a small family of Sorcerers who relocated to American shortly after 65's Immigration reform. This family is known to closely work with Freelance Sorcerers. In 1982, the Kanbara family fully established itself in New York. Coming from wealth and gaining more when establishing itself. Anyone Curse User involved in the jujutsu world of NY has heard of them or will in due time.

Genichirou Kanbara (61) - Head Of The Kanbara Family. (NP)

Genjiro Kanbara (33) - Eldest Son (NP)



Personality: Some would refer to Genjiro as a hopeless romantic that always loves the wrong women. He's an alcoholic and always comes off as a man in his midlife crisis. He handles himself with poor care, but is of keen senses for combat and dealing with curses. Preferring the blade, he's capable of setting himself aside from most Sorcerers. He's not a hostile sorcerer but can tolerate only so much disrespect. All around he's a mess but a decent man.

History: Not much can be said at the moment. He's a Kyoto School graduate as of 15 years ago.

Grade: Special Grade 1

Curse Tools - Grade 1 Katana he obtained from his time studying in Japan.

Curse Technique - (???)


Fuyuko Kanbara (27) - Eldest Daughter (NP)


Grade: Grade 2

Personality: Fuyuko may be the younger sister of Genjiro, but she's the one entrusted with actually running the family. She's more formal than Genjiro, and capable of not escalating situations. She's the stricter one of the duo, but without her really running things, Ginjiro would have let things slowly fall apart. She isn't as strong as Genjiro, but she specialization in the use of positive curse energy.

History: Having more of a presence in New York, Fuyuko was one time a successful model. She was a gifted enough Sorceror but found her aspirations leading elsewhere. Graduating from Kyoto School, she never was declared a grade 1 sorcerer.

Curse Tools - (???)

Curse Technique - (???)​

The Luxor Group - They are similar Kanbara family and run more cooperation. The group is contracted with the government and is involved in the exorcism of Curses, acquiring curse items, and the capture or elimination of Curse User. Even experimentation isn't out of the question. In the world of American sorcery, they're considered to be a big name. They also had out contracts to other non-agency Sorcerers in a way to avoid casualties and advance their goals. They are known for their advancements in modern curse tools and boasting a sizable number of Sorcerers and Non-Sorcerers. Non-Sorcerers use suits and weaponry to match Curses. Their grades range between 4th Grades - 2nd Grades. Luxor has started to push its influence in New York with the rising number of curses in the city.

Sorcerers in their midst range from weak to worthy of 1st Grade classification. Usually, men and women dress in black suits or similar business or business casual. They are company men. It is said they even take a Vow pledging their life to The Luxor Group. Those who are in control of the said group is up for debate. Genichirou was said to be a member of it but this is unproven, yet the man himself doesn't care to speak on it.

The Church - Once the sole pillar of the Western World of Sorcery. They are the reason American Sorcerers usually prefer the term, Exorcist. The Vatican itself holds many power Curse Artifacts and Tools. Things that will be destroyed or forever sealed. Now a shell of its former self, the once orderly Exorcist world gave way to private organizations and opportunists. The church does employ sorcerers, sometimes people that descend from a specific bastardized order. It has also served as neutral grounds for Exorcists and Sorcerers alike.

Rules:
1. All site rules apply.
2. No drama. I hate drama.
3. I'm not asking for the best, but don't write so bad and bland it's painful. At least a paragraph per post.
4. I'll add rules as I please. Don't worry, I couldn't be bothered with abusing power. Rules are a group decision and discussion.
5: No Special Grade Sorcerers.

[RedArmyShogun]

Name: Claudia Mayer

Age: 24

Height: 5'5"

Weight: 122lbs

Appearance:



Region: Rural Pennsylvania, USA

Terms: Exorcist

Personality: Claudia is a rather meticulous individual, from her appearance to the craftsmanship and care in her dolls, often she will resort to makeshift repairs rather than replacement, leading to a frightening appearance found in some of them. Typically Claudia is rather terrible at socialization outside of work and can come off as creepy even when she does not intend it to be so. She is rather interested in folklore of Europe and the America's knowing little bits and pieces of them all which she uses in her Jujutsu work. Prim and proper she often wears a black or navy blue dress with a tie, leather boots, red ribbons and half cape, sticking out from normal society. Tends to have a high opinion of her family and history doing as they say without question and rather enjoys her job.

Of note she rather enjoys tearing curses apart and shows little trouble with doing the same to people if given cause. She also shows a darker side during these hunts or in dealing with troublesome people. Overall her social skills are rather poor but she seems to be on the side of Jujutsu society as the Japanese would term it, preferring to work with or at least getting to know other sorcerers or officials that are in the need to know. Her attempts to be friendly can backfire or go nowhere more often than not, which discourages her at times. She also has largely no interest and limited knowledge of popular culture trends and happenings. Likes hot tea, old world antiques and dolls, tends to dislike rude people, those that challenge her family and cultists.

History: Claudia's history owes much to her family, during the great witch hunts of the middle ages, they offered their services to the Catholic Church in the combating of curses and cults, passing on the basics of curse teachings to daughters of the main family line for generations to come. During the following ages the Family would sever everyone in power of Southern Germany, from the King of Bavaria to the West German Government till the height of the Cold War, when CIA efforts and FBI assurances were enough to uproot the family to combat growing issues within the US, leading to there current state of being.

Embracing Capitalism over Duty, the Mayer family would grow into the current era with ties to the Catholic Church and various state security apprentices and even started to train sons in their own form of Witchcraft. Being born into such a high class family with a long history, Claudia was trained and tested in Jujutsu from an early age and found most compatible with the basics of Cursed Corpse mastery. Spending most of her life with private tutors and a legacy and tradition dating from the middle ages, she did not have much contact with the general populace of the United States nor its culture past the bare necessities needed to interact with it, overall her baring would be better suited to Aristocrats and in working relationships. From early in life she would use her dolls to place in what would be Grade 2 of placement and considers herself an Exorcists.

Though young she has worked as a consultant from the family in some capacity to surrounding law enforcement bodies and has stated to more explore the world allowed to her. Currently has a CDL licensce and drives a delivery truck that contains a small sleeping quarters, workshop and dolls.


Why New York: Work, to meet new and old contacts. Initial consultancy work for the NYPD.

--------

Grade: Grade 2

Equipment:

A Delivery Truck, a white truck that would not be uncommon to see on most city streets, the back of it has been modified a bit on the inside, but no one would likely notice.

Craftsman's tools for sewing and wood work, often kept in truck though some minor tools are brought with her.

First aid kit, a military issued first aid kit, pretty standard

Money, ID and a "pass" from the FBI in regards to her work.

A 5 shot pump shotgun, left in truck and mostly to scare off humans or animals if she's out sleeping on the road.

Tabloid magazines.

Normal steel wires for "controlling" dolls for street performances.

Curse Tools:
Cursed Corpses
Cursed Weapons (or cursed energy imbued standard weapons)

Claudia uses three types of Cursed Corpse Puppet, though her numbers are limited in reflection to the type being used, her vow and basic logistics. Typically they are made of wood with joints found in marionet dolls and imbued with a simple command or two.

Of the more simple ones are two types the Blues and Reds, around one to two feet in height these cursed dolls are armed with an assortment of short melee weapons, from miniature lances, knives and shields, to hammer and stakes, with most of these weapons being cheaply made cursed tools themselves. The red dolls have the ability to exploded with curse energy upon command.

Typically five blue dolls and two red accompany her with a few spared that aren't imprinted with energy or commands.

Then there is the Titan doll, a 6'5" armed with dual bastard swords, while all of the dolls are life like, this one goes a step beyond. With some armored plating and leather armor, the Titan is often given a white cloak to wear over its form till it is needed. This doll is the strongest and outside of limited circumstances is rarely used till the Vow has counted down enough.

While most of the weapons are cursed tools, they typically come in as Grade 4's with the two massive swords being classed as a three normally and a two when reinforced with the Vow. In a pinch Cluadia may arm herself with the small and large doll weapons though she is not skilled in the use of such items. Given the rarity and importance of such weapons, Claudia will often keep one doll in reserve to collect the weapons of the fallen or will gather all weapons herself so that they don't fall into the wrong hands. Of not is that the striking implements tend to be cursed items, but the shield or hammer as example are normal weapons that are imbued with curse energy for reinforcement rather than being true Cursed Tools.

The default command the current Corpses have instilled into them is to avoid humans as best as they can while shadowing Claudia to be ready for the Puppet strings. Though she has been shown to have other Corpses not used in combat that have different purposes installed within them.

Cursed Corpses and Happy Cluadia

Vessel: Nope

Fighting Style: Cursed Puppet user and trapper. Often using her techniques at close range, she starts out with masses of cheap and explosive dolls before upgrading to using a true titan that is more able to break apart opposition via superior quality. If all else fails Claudia herself is able to make use the weapons she arms her dolls with, though the quality and effectiveness is debatable in some circumstances.

Vows: Quality over Quantity Countdown: By starting out with the maximum number threads from each of her fingers controlling a puppet or two, the amount of cursed decreases while the power output and refinement of movements increases exponentially. By casting down the option for multiple attacks and strength of numbers the strands of her threads become more articulated or thicker allowing for pristine control and entrapment on a narrower front.

Curse Technique: Puppeteers Thread

Type: Innate

Name: Puppet Chains

Technique: Claudia is skilled in the use of Corpse Puppets, constructing and transporting several with her as she works. Forming visible strands of separate energy into thin wire like forms she is able to use them offensive and defensively. At face value and in part she uses them to put on a front of controlling anywhere from 1 to 6 puppets at a time. Feeding them new if not simple orders rather than leaving one command within them, focused on physical assaults and melee weapon mastery she tends to operate within visual range and close proximity of her puppets, no more than a few meters away at best.

And while this observable fact is indeed true and gives her puppets more flexibility at the expense of utility, the Puppet chains are able to do more. Such as making new Corps Puppets on the fly out of suitable materials or objects, from robots to dolls and mannequins, though these creations can be more difficult to move or lacking in durability of her puppets, in addition Claudia is able to see through her creations to aid in limited scouting. Typically it is far easier on curse energy and physical stamina if she just sticks to her own creations, having a familiarity with them leads to an easier time. Given this instant and rapid successive control of targets is not possible.

And finally the chains to have the ability to restrict or bind unto other beings or targets into a web of cursed energy. Claudia has also shown some skill in gathering the chains around herself for protection or to lash out with a spirit charged fist.

[Reanimator Buns]

Louis LeBlanc

Age: 24 | Height: 6'3 | Weight: 186

~ Personal Information ~

~ Region ~
New Orleans, Louisiana

~ Personality ~
Louis is a salesman. He used to travel from door to door to convince people to buy what he had with him. Because of this, he possesses a strong personality. Smooth, suave, seductive, he is quite persuasive. While his original job was insurance sales, he now sells a far different product: Power. He isn't simply handing out abilities mindlessly of course. In fact, he sees his dealings as being for the greater good. In a way, he actually likens his goals to that of the Lwa that his family served for many generations. As far as his own spirituality goes, he isn't certain about any actual being that stands at the spiritual crossroads. Its not that he doesn't believe in them. How could he not knowing what he knows. But with people like him around, stories and tales could easily have spread around.

When selling his gift, he is always cautious about who can lay claim to it. For the average person and someone he feels genuinely deserves a bit of a boost, he is direct with no real trickery involved, but as far as exorcising goes, haints and boo hags will truly see the best of his works, as long as they can understand him. Typically they don't. Louis is consistent with a promise. A salesman looses credibility if their name becomes too tarnished. If he promises something, he will keep that promise to the end of time. And given how he functions on his own time, you may need to be patient. He works as he pleases. Always expect him to take his time.

~ History ~
Lost a lot of things during that storm. A lot of things. Houses, trading cards, pets, cars, hell even families and friends weren't spared. Whether it was the storm herself or all the unrest that followed after that did the most damage who can really say. But it left Louis in an odd place. Now Louis' family had always been a strange one, what with their bottle trees out in the yard, and the lighting and burning of all sorts of herbs and incense with the dancing and the singing. All so that the spirits could be called upon their house. Now his mama weren't wealthy or nothing, but she was an impactful woman on not just his life, but the whole community.

After the storm and chaos had started settling down, why everyone and their uncle was dropping by to ask for her guidance and strength. She'd usually say a few words of prayer or song, and burn a small wooden fetish fashioned from bits of sticks and cloth and out would come a creature that would follow them around. What happened after that Louis couldn't say, but he asked about it often and every time he was met with a quite direct, "Well that just means you've got the gifts of the Rootworkers." He didn't understand any of that much. He asked his pa, but he always said it was a load of bullshit. Course even bullshit helps the crop grow. But he couldn't see none of it. He wasn't given any more information from his mama without having learned some of it first.

He learned about the Lwa, of Voudo, Hoodoo, and. Conjuring. Well he learned of them more specifically. But with that base knowledge at the age of 14, his mama finally taught him what she knew, and showed him how to craft the fetishes she used to call the spirits to aid those who sought power, be it for themselves or to curse an enemy. As he grew up and honed his skill, his mama one day went missing from home. His dad was old, and his mental state was rapidly deteriorating. Louis had family who could take care of him. He wanted to know if he could find his mama, and possibly if her disappearance had anything to do with his pa's head state.

~ Why New York ~
After some digging around, it seemed to Louis that, while called something completely different up north, there was a large population of people who worked with the same forces he did up there. They oughta know something about what happened.

~ Abilities ~
~ Terms ~
Rootworker or Bokor

~ Grade ~
Semi-2nd Grade
(Unaware)

~ Equipment ~
Shikigami Talismans (Wooden/cloth Fetishes)

Divining Cards

Crystals, Herbs, Oils, and many "spiritual" paraphernalia

~ Fighting Style ~
His fighting style is similar to most Shikigami users, typically relying on them to overwhelm his opponent thanks to their enhanced abilities from his Curse Technique

~ Vows ~
Grant Power - Louis can grant others power, letting them borrow his own cursed energy for a price.

~ Curse Technique ~
The Crossroads

~ Type ~
Innate

- Allows the user to drain any living being of their soul provided they are imbued with the user's cursed energy. However, while imbued with cursed energy, the subject's own cursed energy is enhanced, allowing for more forceful blows. The time it takes for the subjects soul to be completely drained is proportional to the amount of borrowed energy they use, as well as a few other factors, such as the willpower of the subject and their sense of self.

~ Miscellaneous ~

~ Skills ~
Quite the skilled cook, growing up with Cajun cooking as his focus.

[Jessica]

Name: Victoria Navarro

Age: 23

Height: 5'5

Weight: 130 lbs (58 kg)

Appearance:

--------

Region: Tucson, Arizona

Terms: Exorcist formally, Curse wizard casually

Personality:

A kind woman with extensive knowledge of flowers, a love for unusual talents, and an interest in photography. She's highly sentimental of all the things she receives from her friends and enjoys making new memories when she can. Memories in general are very important to her, and the idea of amnesia is terrifying to her.

Her sentimental nature has led to her having a bit of a hoarding problem since she refuses to throw away anything that gives her good memories. Victoria will also pick a flower and do some flower pressing from her favorite locations to keep memories of. Though she can appreciate normal talents such as singing and dancing, Victoria loves the more uncommon talents of the world.

To express to someone that she cares for them, she would rather express her affection by touch or by gifts that she hopes will make the other person happy. The only time Victoria will clearly show emotion is when she's hit the extreme (depressed, shocked, enraged, etc).

Victoria is willing to do whatever she needs to in order to keep herself and the people she cares about alive.


History:

Victoria was born to loving parents who knew nothing about curses and Jujutsu Sorcerers in the suburban areas of Tucson. Growing up in the not-so-nice part of town, she prefered to stick mostly to herself or the quiet kids. Since she was able to see curses, Victoria learned quickly that she had to keep the fact to herself so as to not be looked at like a freak by her classmates. She told her parents, who wrote it off as Victoria having an imaginary friend. She even mentioned it to her guidance counselor who referenced a therapist if Victoria's imaginary friend didn't go away.

Frustrated, she decided to keep the information to herself. Until one day, she passed by a man who was looking at the curse she could see. With one swipe of his hand, the curse was dispelled leaving Victoria confused.

She asked him, "Can I do something like that?"

Seeing her potential, the man agreed to train her as long as she didn't go around telling people. He didn't want to be put on some list.

Victoria agreed.

The man she came to know as Mr. Eito was a Sorcerer with techniques that revolved around fighting with cursed swords. He helped her discover her abilities and trained her on how to fight with daggers and with swords (training weapons of course) as well as cursed energy.

As Victoria got older, became better at fighting and wielding her energy. As she grew older, her name was passed around to other Sorcerers (who she nicknamed "Curse Wizards") that wanted her to help out at the church when she became of age.

Her parents, meanwhile, believed Victoria had just been participating in after school activities or hanging out with friends. Lie after lie Victoria had to tell them in order to not worry them about what she'd been trained to do. After graduation, she was free to continue exorcizing curses while hearing the lectures of "what are you doing with your life" from her parents.

Though very young at the time, Victoria worked with Mr. Eito to dispel curses, gaining more experience and honing her skills. She told her parents it was a job with the church cleaning the rooms, but the lies could only get so far before they found out what she was really up to. The news of something happening in New York was the perfect chance.

Why New York: Better opportunities. Mr. Eito and her agreed it would be better for her to go and see what was happening.

Grade: Semi-grade 1. Knows it.

Equipment:

~A messenger bag she carries that's full of different pressed flowers.
~A polaroid camera
~A mini photo album (to keep pictures until she transfers them to the bigger album
~Her smartphone
~Her wallet, some money, her debit card, etc.
~A pocket knife for self-defense

Curse Tools:

~Cursed Camera: This camera helps Victoria meet the requirements of her vows. It is made from strong materials to keep it from being damaged during battles.

Fighting Style: Kenjutsu and Tantojutsu

Vows: A vow to oneself.

A Face for my Collection: Victoria's cursed techniques will become stronger at the cost of much less blood when she takes a picture of the curse's or opponent's face.

Curse Technique:

Type: Innate

Name: Bloodflower's Strength

Technique:

Freely able to manipulate (size, width, hardness, sharpness of edges etc) any kind of plant and flower (regardless if dead or alive) that has her cursed energy in it. The cursed energy can manipulate and strengthen the plants/petals to shoot like shotgun/rifle bullets, wield like knives or swords, and make shields out of them. The more cursed energy put into the plants/petals, the stronger the offense and defense is. The user will also be able to use the plant's natural effects against the opponent (poison ivy, tea leaves' effects, etc.) and set a timer on the plants to become explosive. (Making a stronger explosion will also need blood.)

At the cost of this wide range of abilities, the plants that embrace the cursed energy detach their vines and wraps around Victoria's neck, arms, head, or wherever the vines want to situate. Each time she wants to strengthen the petals' or plants' offense or defense capabilities, the vines will take a bit of blood from her as sacrifice. With each sacrifice, the stronger plants run the risk of going crazy and attacking anything and anyone

[kookyboy9]

Name: Alastair Callan

Age: 21

Height: 5'6"

Weight: 148 lb

Appearance:

---

Region: Michigan

Terms: Sorcerers: Exorcists, Self: Barrier Expert

Personality:
Alastair is an empathetic person. He hates to harm even flies, a trait that is put into stark contrast against his current occupation as a sorcerer. He prefers not to get up-close and personal with a curse, and even more dislikes having to directly inflict harm on them. In a fight, he prefers to leave the actual battling to his companions, staying back himself to offer support and to control his barriers.

Alastair is also a very curious person. He enjoys learning new things, and will often seek out new knowledge and people to learn from. This leads to a bit of a social streak on his part, and he has no problem joining a conversation currently in progress. He lacks the ability to easily read social cues and sometimes needs to be told to leave off. He often will pop into conversations if there's even the slightest indication he may be involved.

Despite his curiousity, Alastair has issues blindly obeying others. If he feels unheard or like the current orders he's been given are foolish, he's liable to just ignore them in favor of his own judgement. While this makes him able to make decisions on the fly, it also makes him less reliable in a team setting, and is part of the reason why he ended up being sent to New York.

Alastair has an irrational fear of being brought back into contact with his family, and is almost wholly unwilling to even consider meeting with any of them.

History:
Alastair was born into a well-established family of barrier experts based out of Michigan. For the first ten years of his life, he was educated from the family compound, learning the normal set of subjects, as well as barrier arts theory. When he was eleven, his family's cruel methods of awakening finally bore fruit, and he was moved to their specialized barrier education program. At the age of 15, he awakened the family's rare inherited technique, and was educated further in it, until the age of 18. At the age of 18, he was finally judged to be capable enough to be sent on a mission to support other exorcists. This was his first time off the compound. During the mission, he took advantage of a moment of confusion to disappear.

Over the next few years, he began to build up a reputation as a barrier master, wandering the United States. He was able to just barely scrape by through combination of exorcist work and working with other freelance exorcists as their barrier monkey. He also eventually created his cursed tool during this period.

During this period, however, his family caught wind of him and sent a group to bring him home. Fortunately, Alastair caught wind of their plot before they arrived, and left the region entirely, attempting to lose them amidst the many curses, sorcerers, and people of New York City.

Why New York: More opportunities for work + hiding from his family amidst the crowds.

---

Grade: Semi-grade 1 (unaware)

Equipment:
A smartphone
An emergency pack with matches, a rain poncho, some rope, and a few days worth of preserved food.
A book about interacting with others.

Curse Tools:
A knife infused with a grade two cursed technique

Fighting Style: He prefers not to, but when he must, he prefers to dodge attacks until he's sufficiently built up cursed energy to strike a single decisive blow. If this fails, he tries to keep dodging and get the opponent to use up enough cursed energy to deliver a strong strike by collapsing his Enhanced Curtain.

Vows:
-Do unto others: Alastair's vow prohibits him from attempting to harm another being unless the being attempts to harm either him or another being. Breaking this vow will mirror any damage he does to the other being onto him, where possible. In exchange, however, Alastair's cursed energy grows until he strikes a first blow in combat.

---

Curse Technique:

Type: Inherited

Name: Enhanced Curtain

Technique: The Enhanced Curtain allows Alastair to sacrifice the Curtain's ability to prevent beings from passing through it to replace it with one of four effects.
1) When something uses cursed energy within the Curtain, a small portion of it will be captured by the Curtain. When the curtain falls or the being attempts to leave, the cursed energy will be used to strike a final parting blow against them. The controller of the curtain can attach this cursed energy attack to a different being, adding to their running total of stored energy for the attack, but doing so requires the undivided attention of the Curtain's controller.
2) Cursed energy within the Curtain grows more chaotic, making it difficult to control cursed energy within.
3) Cursed techniques used within the Curtain are enhanced
4) Cursed energy within the barrier becomes easier to handle, allowing techniques requiring precision to be more easily used.

No more than one of these effects can be placed on a single curtain, but additional curtains can be thrown up inside of an existing curtain. These each layer, however, increases the difficulty of doing so exponentially. Alastair's maximum number of curtains he can layer at this time is three, including a regular curtain. At this time, however, he can only maintain one Enhanced Curtain at this depth, regardless of cursed energy reserves. All Nested Curtains are destroyed when their containing curtain is.

The Enhanced Curtain can be set to either affect everyone, affect up to 4 people he's familiar with, or ignore up to 4 people he's familiar with.

[EmperorsChosen]

Name: Amanda Calvert

Age: 25

Height: 5'9"

Weight: 143 lbs

Appearance:

Spoiler

--------

Region: London, UK

Terms: Sorcerers

Personality: Given her upbringing, Amanda radiates a professional and refined persona. She was raised strictly even before becoming a sorcerer, and it shows from her demeanor. She is confident and stern, though despite that she still has a bit of attitude. With little room to act out, Amanda developed a habit of tongue-in-cheek remarks and affirmations with snark and sarcasm to the dismay of her coworkers and superiors. While ultimately polite, her words can at times act as a shiv as she carries herself with a hint of smugness. She retains this demeanor continuously, whether in a casual setting or a more dire one, perhaps as some kind of a coping mechanism. Her situation isn't, after all, very bright and one snowball of negativity or self-doubt could cause an entire avalanche. Not to mention that the woman's strategy for stress is to pretend it isn't there or bury it by focusing on other things.

Amanda is very careful with how she organizes her words. With her home keeping her at arm's length and her only true family having gone off the deep end, she is very conscious of who she truly lets under her guard. This is both out of wariness of being ostracized as well as a fear of loss. To her, it is better to have never loved at all then to have loved and lost.

History: Even from the beginning of her life, Amanda was influenced by the world of curses and spirits. With no parents to care for them, Amanda and her brother were orphaned and fostered by a church in London. This was fortunate, save for the fact that many members of the church were sorcerers that dealt with curses, which led to the two siblings being introduced to morbid reality earlier than most would like.

They were coddled for quite a while, however eventually members of the church began pushing for the two's own initiation into the world of sorcery. Amanda held some residual cursed energy and could perceive curses all on her own. Her brother, Yorick, was less useful and even required special contacts and spectacles to even see spirits. Amanda was welcomed into training and Yorick, not wanting to be separated or left behind, was adamant to become a sorcerer as well.

They were educated and trained, and some way into their adolescence they were assigned to veterans to grasp real experience in exorcising curses. Amanda wasn't exceedingly powerful, however she was sharp and quick to learn. Yorick felt himself more getting in the way than being helpful, and that feeling ultimately led him to opening Pandora's Box.

Amanda left with her mentors to pursue a higher grade cursed spirit, a mission that Yorick was spared from due to his perceived inability. When she returned, she found eyes of scorn and her brother gone.

While away, Yorick had taken one of the artifacts kept safe and hidden beneath the church; a ritualistic dagger that is said to corrupt the hearts of those that bear it, slew some members of the church and vanished. Amanda recalled what she was told of cursed relics and vessels and could only assume he took the artifact believing that he could control the beast within, only to succumb to it.

After that incident, Amanda was forced to work doubly hard for any recognition. Her brother's sins may as well have been her own, and she every hint towards finding him never felt like even taking a step forward. He left a trail, but not a blatant one, nor a pretty one to follow. She chased him across the United Kingdom, and even into Europe, until finally he left the continent entirely, and just as before Amanda followed.

It wasn't as if she needed much of a reason to leave; she had been stuck as a Grade 3 and looked upon as worse. She behaved herself for a year, and then emigrated to the U.S. By this point, the trail was cold thanks to the legal process delaying her pursuit, but she was also more free to focus on her brother than under the thumb of the church. Currently, she has reason to believe Yorick is somewhere in New York, and works as a bartender when not following his tracks.

Why New York: Her brother's trail has seemingly paused in New York, and Amanda hopes to finally find him.

--------

Grade: Grade 3 in the UK

Equipment: Beretta Handgun, Ammunition, Bandages, Alcohol, Swiss Army Knife

Curse Tools: Grade 3 Bayonet

Vessel: N/A

Fighting Style: Amanda prefers to keep at a range and eliminate targets outside of melee, using her Cursed Technique to kill or cripple opponents before they can reach her. If worse comes to worse, she does have some training in close quarters, but as a normal human wielding a Grade 3 infused cursed tool, it certainly isn't preferable.

Vows: Cursed Luck

Amanda mixes blanks into her ammunition. Each time a blank goes off with her technique, her power increases a bit.

Curse Technique:

Type: Innate

Name: Cursed Ammunition

Technique: Amanda imbues her ammunition with her own cursed energy, which allows her to adjust properties and limited movements of each bullet after it's fired. Namely, she is able to control the force of ignition, and thus the force of impact of her rounds to suit the current circumstance. However, she isn't limited to controlling the rounds as they leave the barrel of her gun. She can also control her bullets' trajectories, forcing them to rebound and ricochet off surfaces.

[Cush Almighty]

Sorceror Character Sheet

Name: Joshua Redmarr

Age: 26

Height: 5'11

Weight: 200lbs

Appearance:



--------

Region: New Jersey, USA

Terms: Agent Redmarr, Exorcist

Personality:
Joshua has the personality of someone who's simple fed up with his job. He'll openly lament his job as an FBI agent. He's genuinely a nice person, and his goal is to protect the common person, the non-sorcerer. He's friendly and prefers to make allies when possible. Joshua isn't someone to incite a conflict, but in his special branch of the FBI, conflict is the usual. He's reasonable and isn't shy about finding unorthodox solutions to problems.

When it comes to dealing with Curse Users, he's in favor of capture rather than killing, but there are times where he is close to using it. The world of Exorcists attracts the most depraved individuals. He dislikes those who use or in his words "abuse" their Curse Techniques or power. Joshua is not as righteous as he seems. He has no problem with deception, preferably in the form of half-truths and omission of details. To trust Joshua is up to you.


History:
Joshua, a boy raised in a suburban home in North Jersey. His family was considered lively by some accounts, but outside of that, nothing special or unique. Then again, that was easy to say when you were on the inside. Ever since he was young, he could perceive Curses ever since he could walk. His family never understood, except his grandmother and father. They understood what the young boy was going through. At a young age, they carefully explained the world of an Exorcist. What he was seeing and what power he had in his possession.

Joshua learned the basics of curse energy manipulation, and even manifesting his technique at the age of 8. Joshua continued to train under his grandmother's supervision when they had private time. This side of the family was even kept hidden from his mother and her side. His favor bothered to explain it to her once, and she told him was an idiot and a clown. Joshua's father was an Exorcist working under the FBI, a special investigator for the Government into the world of Curses.

One day, Joshua's father was found dead. A hole left in his head and a lifeless look on his face, his mouth gapped out. His death was caused by the Curse Sorcerer he'd been pursuing for the last month. Joshua remembered being 14 when he heard about it, and even tried to get involved in the investigation. Being a child, and unlike Japan, the employment of minors in Exorcisms isn't favored by the US Gov. With his father dead, Joshua eventually began to resent the world he felt drawing him in. He craved revenge, to kill the Curse Sorcerer responsible.

Joshua learned how to manage his curse technique, and was actually informed by his Grandmother that his technique was an Inherited Technique. He was also informed that the origin of his technique is with the Caddo tribe and that he was a blood thief and unworthy of the ability. A teenage Joshua manages to make the situation worse, insult a group of people and was manipulated into a binding vow of marriage with the Chief's Daughter. All in all, at least they taught him how to use his technique better.

Later, Joshua was recruited into the FBI and has worked in the Sorcery branch for the last 3 years. He's still considered a newbie but by most standers, he's considered strong and hasn't be defeated by a curse not even once. A trusted Agent who's become one of the go-to agents when dealing with difficult situations.


Why New York: An investigation into the Luxor Group.

--------

Grade: 1 (Recently Promoted)

FBI Badge and I.D
Shades

Curse Tools:
Grade 2 Bowe Knife (Father's Memento)

Vessel: "Me? No! I'd never get into a stupid situation like that."

Fighting Style:
Joshua prefers to get up close and personal. His fighting style is a mix of what he's learned growing up and in actual fights. On top of that, his F.B.I training consisted of him learning a mix of Krav, Muay Thai, and Judo. He's fully capable of ranged combat, especially with his Curse Technique, but leans on getting up into a target space and demolishing them. When fighting ranged, expect the fire of a gun, or an arch of electricity being hurled at the enemy. He's not quick to use his technique.

Vows: "None, well one, but that's because I was young and naive. The deal sounded pretty good at the time."

Vow of Marriage - By the age 27, Joshua Redmarr must marry the Caddo Chief's Daughter.

Curse Technique:

Type: Inherited

Name: Blood Bolt Technique

Technique:

Joshua's curse technique is quite simple. By wounding himself, usually with a knife, is able to use his blood and a conduit for the creation of electricity. Using his blood, he's able to create what he calls "Bolt Shots". As the name suggests, they're bolts of shot directly at a target. His other technique is "Bolt Spear." Blood covered in a limb, usually his arm, and treats as a spear to impale an opponent. "Bolt Blast" An upgraded form of "Bolt Shot" and capable of doing far more damage relative to destroying a car. Joshua is limited to his own mind but finds these techniques most suitable. His technique eats away at his blood. Overuse of it will lead to him collapsing of blood loss.

[Astros]

Sorceror Character Sheet

Name: David Patterson (Nicknames: Davy/Pat)

Age: 23

Height:5'9"

Weight: 170lbs

Appearance:

--------

Region: Rural, Missouri

Terms: Exorcists. Hunter.

Personality:
Intense. Distant. Straightforward. These few words encapsulate David Patterson quite well. A man of the wild, who often spends more time among the forested woods of his home state than the bustling streets of urban living. He carries himself with a noticeable air of detachment from those around him. Appearing oblivious to social expectation and ques, if not outright ignoring them. His body language is rather lacking outside of a fixed stare and monotone voice. Whether greeted cheerily or in the midst of a conversation, his attention will easily drift elsewhere without concern. Fiercely independent as well, he tends to do things how he's done them for years.

On the hunt, he can appear to be a greatly different person. Depending. His emotions are more readily expressed, as he can seem rather impatient towards anything that would cause him to loose chase. Like many hunters and trackers throughout history, David can attest to the thrill of a hunt being like nothing else. His obsession to the moment and potent focus readily can make him blind to anyone he's working with. Though, it is not without its merits in the shape of grit and tenacity. So long as David breaths, the hunt will continue.

History:

Spoiler

As a young boy, David was as removed from the realm of curses and exorcists as he was from school and home. Only a decade later would he learn of his German heritage. Linking him with a distant family tree known for its exorcists. Possessing a perceptive eye alongside a mind of his own. From early on, he was acutely aware of how dysfunctional his family was despite their habits to gloss over or ignore the fact. Likewise, he noticed how most of his teachers were never really invested in his education or that of any of his peers. They were simply there because it meant having a paycheck. With this knowledge, David began directing his time towards hunting and hardly anything else. There was no screaming or broken furniture. No long days sitting through lecture after lecture without a purpose. It was him, nature, and the opportunities that lied between those two things.

A little over five years later, David now living on his own would hunt almost religiously. Noted as something of an obsession by his coworkers at the workshop. When he wasn't on the clock, he would be in the woodlands. An accomplished hunter at this point, he had stopped using concealment or a hunting stand. He learned he preferred to stalk his prey, even if that meant trailing through the woods all afternoon. Similarly, his choice in weaponry had minimized over the years. From hunting with shotguns and tube fed rifles, he now used a single shell bolt action rifle. To him, the satisfaction simply wasn't there if he could miss his first shot and still down his target. It was hardly challenging. Once his presence was known, that should be it. He believed.

One day on a cloudy morning, David went to work as usual. As time passed the sky only grew darker. It seemed it had almost turned to night before the first of the showers began. Mounting by the minute, it was a torrent by the time the shift ended. David left without a word, which was typical, but none were under the impression he was off to the woods once more. Among the relentless shower, David had a moment for pause when he passed a group of men all in black. Exchanging glances, but not words. David wasn't sure what the group were up to, but didn't think to question them or follow. Oddly, the group seemed more surprised to encounter him than the other way around.

Advancing on his hunt, he had been searching days for signs of a rumored mountain lion who had been said to be stalking farmers and campers in the area. The animal had been one pushed to extinction in the 19th century, and sightings had only been but those. Nevertheless, David had never encountered one alive and was intently fascinated by the prospect of hunt it. Losing himself in the seemingly endless hours of deary showers. He was aware the rain was washing away almost any lasting traces of the beast. And yet, he continued to press on, ignoring the realization, and everything that might distract him from his search. After all, if a beast driven to extinction were living in the forested hills, it would be the species greatest survivor. In this way he entered with routine ease, a state of mindless pursuit. In chase of a figment of imagination. A phantom.

Only, he eventually found signs of something. The tracks were nothing he'd seen before, but he needn't question or doubt them. Abnormal as they were, they were the tracks of a mountain lion. Pressing further he edged closer and closer to his target. Employing all of the hard learned lessons of his past to evade detection, and maintain pursuit. Hearing a roar like nothing before just beyond a ridge, the sounds of a heated struggled between two beasts emerged. Eventually accompanied by shouts of people and sounds of tree bark shattering. David paid these distractions no mind. Instead, listening intently in order to predict which way the conflict would progress. He raised his rifle and waited patiently.

After several long drawn out minutes, the roar from before echo'd as an enormous beast tore over the ridge. Appearing nothing like a mountain lion, let alone any warm blooded beast that inhabited a woodland. It tore down the hillside less than ten feet away from David. Unperturbed by this sudden appearance or the twisted beasts form. David in unshakable fixation lined up his shot, and took it. It was only after the fact that the shell whizzed through the creature's head and it stopped to look in his direction, did he render reality as it once was. A nightmarish creature of invulnerability sizing him up, and he without a loaded chamber.

....

Years later he recalls the encounter with much amusement. If not for meeting the group of exorcists beforehand it may have ended up as him against the Curse alone. After having been ignored as they told him expressively "Hey, you should leave the area. It's dangerous." The group had followed after David, only to soon realize that they couldn't. Try as they might, David might as well have been a ghost. All of his cursed presence dissipating once they lost sight of him. Wanting to insure as few casualties as possible, they continued after him only to run into the Curse themselves. None, not even the Curse had taken note of his presence until he had fired. It was with that momentary distraction that the exorcists were able to mount a group assault and take it down.

Noting a clear aptitude for being an exorcist, but dumbfounded how he had ever managed to develop the skills he had on his own. David was invited to be trained as a proper "Sorcerer". Interested in the prospect of being able to hunt something new and untraceable to the average person. He agreed. Though, found much disagreement and argument when he refused to use anything but a rifle in order to hunt Curses. With several years of extensive searching, a cursed rifle was secured. A Sharps rifle. (A series of large-bore, single-shot, rifles, beginning with a design by Christian Sharps in 1848.) Taking a liking to the ancient death wielder, David modified it to his liking and made it his signature "tool".

Today, he takes on requests to hunt "rabid animals" throughout the country. More often than not this ends up being either animals possessed by Curses capable of switching hosts or the result of rabies. In either case, the hunt is always guaranteed and that's all David needs.

Why New York: Having tracked his latest quarry across the South and Northeast of the US. New York is its latest refuge. To the disappointment of David.

Grade: Grade 2.

Equipment: Utility Knife w/ Flint & Steel, A Box of .50-110 Sharps, Canteen, Angel (Great Horned Owl)

Curse Tools:
"Billy Dixon's" Sharps Rifle (Grade 3)

Rumor has it, the rifle was the same used by Billy Dixon in the Second Battle of Adobe Walls. A 19th Century skirmish between a group of 28 Bison Hunters and several hundred Comanche warrior. In this battle, Billy was said to have killed a warrior with a lucky shot at a distance of 1,538 yards, or nine-tenths of a mile. Whether the tale is true and if it is indeed the same legendary rifle are unknown. However, it can still be said that the marksman is what makes the rifle. As in David's capable hands such feats have been replicated.

Following a long history of use hunting humans in addition to animals, this specific rifle has been imbued with a unique cursed energy that ingrains itself in every shot. A sinister cursed technique, upon penetrating a target the brimming cursed energy will burst and dissolve it from the inside out. Remnant of the deaths at the hand of lead poisoning and infection, administered by the weapon throughout its lifetime.

Vessel: N/A

Fighting Style:
David's approach to a fight is an oddity even among the Sorcerer community. A hunter down to his core, his only offensive ability lies in his stalking and the element of surprise. If he misses his single shot or fails to kill his target, his only defense then lies in his ability to evade and fade into his surroundings. In a one on one encounter in close quarters he might as well be defenseless.

Vows:
One Chance, One Shot: An extension of David's willingness to take the hunt to the absolute extreme. Allotting himself only one shot in which to take down his target greatly amplifies his cursed energy in the moment before pulling the trigger. To the point that nearly every shot is a killing one. The drawback being after the shot is fired, David's cursed energy is severely depleted.

Hunter's Lament: The natural result of being unable to take down a target in only one shot. What remains of David's cursed energy lingers within his target, making it easier for him to track. He is able to see traces of his energy in their tracks and the surrounding environment. This ordinarily would be advantageous, however the opposite is equally true. The target is able to sense the cursed energy within them grow as David approaches nearer. No longer does David have the absolute element of surprise. A price to be paid for making prey suffer.

Curse Technique:

Type: Innate

Name: "Stillness"(Conscious 0)

Technique:
Simply named "Stillness" by David, but otherwise known as Conscious 0. The technique advanced from David's extensive contact with nature and acquiring what many called a "Hunter's Stillness". It involves emptying the mind of all intent, and rendering the mind "still" save for what the senses perceive. On the surface, David's cursed energy seemingly vanishes and he becomes practically untraceable. In actuality, his cursed energy is condensed and pinpointed toward his senses. Switched on/off when deemed necessary. A feat of immense cursed energy control trained via years of experience.

Greatly enhancing sight, hearing, smell, and sense of space. He may switch between any given one or enhance them all simultaneously. Otherwise, his cursed energy lies dormant, compressed upon itself to a pinpoint.

It is this technique that allows him to effectively "hunt" curses and evade their detection simultaneously.
