The Universe Book

[WickedWitch]

"The universe runs on the principle that one who can exert the most evil on other creatures runs the show."
Bangambiki HabyarimanaI

~​

The Universe Book, a book with immense powers that extends past the millions of universes. The power to create and destroy worlds with just a thought, once put into the wrong hands had sent the world into chaos. A past tragedy called 'The Destruction of Universes '. The aftermath is now the humans have become the minority, and supernatural creatures and myths have started roaming the earth. The book has gone into hiding and only rumors surface, every creature that has seen or lived through the DOU have gone into hiding.

A group of teenagers (maybe 3-4) find the book, unbeknownst the power it holds and signs their name. But it isn't long before higher beings get a whiff of what's happening, and now the teenagers are thrown into chaos. Fighting demons and immensely powerful creatures dead set on getting the book, even if it means lots of bloodshed. Now they're in a world where they doubt who they can trust, and who the true enemy is. They'll have to survive, with a worrying amount of trust on a book that put them in this place and maybe the other teenagers in the same situation as them.

~

Your character can be anyone and everyone, there's no limitations to what you can be. Just don't god mod your character. Characters with flaws can contribute to a more interesting plot, and it's not fun playing with a bunch of perfect characters that are Op.

Our characters range from the ages 17-18, and they are all seniors. It's required for the plot that they're all in school, and range from the above age group. The city they're located in is called Medusa, and their school is called Serpent Academy.

They meet when they are teamed up for a school project, the project calls for them to create a collage revolving around the DOU. They venture off into one of the fallen towers that belonged to an old ruler, a door opens and leads down to a passage. The rest has still not been decided, we can discuss this OOC.


Will add more when it comes to me.

Hi there! I hope this is alright. Let me know if anything needs to be changed; I'll get to it right away.

MAARIKA VIRTANEN

"Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep, and swim far, so you shall come back with new self-respect, with new power, and with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old."
Ralph Waldo Emerson​

General

[ Name ]
↳ Maarika Virtanen

[ Nicknames ]
↳ Maari, Rika, Veden

[ Date of Birth ]
↳ July 9

[ Age ]
↳ Seventeen

[ Gender ]
↳ Female (Cisgender)

[ Sexual Preference ]
↳ Pansexual

[ Ethnicity/Nationality ]
↳ Finnish

[ Species/Race ]
↳ Haltija — veden väki (visit Wikipedia, the Trefoil Academy Wiki, or the Demopedia Wiki for more information)

[ Education ]
↳ Up to senior year of high school.


Appearance

[ Height ]
↳ 5'6", or 167.64 cm.

[ Hair ]
↳ Light blue fading to more of a medium-hued blue, her hair is naturally colored that way and usually falls to the tops of her shoulders. Her hair always flops over her face, but it doesn't bother her sight too much.

[ Eyes ]
↳ Her irises are a grayish-blue, surrounded by white scleras and framed by dark lashes. Her eyes are a wide almond shape.

[ Tattoos ]
↳ N/A

[ Piercings ]
↳ She has her earlobes pierced, as well as a nose ring in her left nostril.

[Birthmarks/Moles/Scars ]
↳ Maari has a small mole underneath the corner of her lip on the right side of her face. She also has a marking in the inside of her left wrist (it is mistaken as a tattoo by many, but it's actually a natural sort of "birthmark" that appears on every haltija shortly after creation); it depicts an intricate wave that proclaims her affinity as a haltija.






Persona

[ Personality ]
↳ Unlike most of her fellow veden väki, Maarika Virtanen is not mild-mannered, smooth, or particularly gentle. To alienate herself further from the rest of her species, she isn't particularly polite, rule-abiding, or shy, either. She is most like vuoren (mountain) or raudan (iron) väki, if any: blunt, brash, cocky, and excitable. Maari is kind and friendly, but quite loud, which tends to scare some shyer people away. She enjoys talking to people and, again, unlike most of her species, isn't one to hold grudges—water under the bridge, you know? She has a strong sense of justice, however, and will not hesitate to protect or help people in need. Maari likes all types of people, usually believing in the best of others, and can be quite gullible because of that. That doesn't mean that she isn't smart, though—it just takes a little digging.

[ Likes ]
↳ Swimming | Meeting new people | Salmiakki | Reindeer sausage | Card games (though she's not good at them) | Exercise | Nature | Fishing

[ Dislikes ]
↳ People who pick on other, defenseless people | Small, dark spaces | Schoolwork (especially mathematics, since she's not good at it) | Alcohol | People going easy on her or babying her | Bland food | Big, sprawling cities with little nature | Sitting still

[ Hobbies ]
↳ Exercising/playing sports
↳ Socializing

[ Mental/Health Ailments ]
↳ Though she isn't diagnosed (because she's only recently popped up in civilization), Maari likely has ADHD—it's oftentimes hard for her to focus or sit still.


Background

[ Mother & relationship ]
↳ N/A — Haltija are created, not born. It isn't common for young haltija to be mentored by older haltija, though, and some haltija "adopt" others and replicate a family dynamic. Haltija of the same or similar väki may group up and create a community, while others live alone (which is traditional and usually preferred; most haltija take their jobs as guardians very seriousky). In Maari's case, she has no female mentor or mother figure.

[ Father & relationship ]
↳ N/A — See above. Maari was not taken in by a male mentor or father figure, either. While Ahti rules over all veden väki, he had no special connection to her besides briefly meeting her after her creation.

[ Siblings & relationship ]
↳ Ilari, Sulo, and Hilja — While haltija do not have biological, blood-connected siblings in the traditional sense, those created from the same affinity or those who live near each other may bond together and have a sibling-like or very close platonic relationship. Ilari was the former, Sulo was the latter, and Hilja was neither. While Ilari and Hilja have sibling relationships with Maari, Sulo is less close and is more of a best friend.

↳ Ilari is the veden väki of a pond and considered the eldest. He found baby Maarika next to a stream as a child; they ended up creating a sibling bond and started interacting with each other on a daily basis. They are still very, very close.​

↳ Sulo is the tulen (fire) väki of a nearby sauna and is the second-youngest (this fact is relentlessly brought up by Maari, even though he was created just a few days after her). After a group of sauna-goers said that there wasn't enough water, he set out to go find some and happened upon Ilari and Maarika along the way. Although they were of opposite affinities, they became friends. He and Maarika are close, but not as close as Ilari is to her. ​

↳ Hilja is the kalman (death) väki of a faraway graveyard and considered the youngest of the bunch. As a tiny child, she wandered to Ilari's pond by accident and, as he did with Maari, they created a sibling bond. Though she was a haltija, she didn't have a particularly strong connection to her graveyard, so their connection broke and now she is a sort of free haltija. She and Maarika are close, but not as close as Ilari is to Maari. However, they are closer to each other than Maari is to Sulo. They confide in each other often now that Maari has sent her a cell phone.​

[ Current Relationship/Status ]
↳ Single

[ Past Relationships ]
↳ N/A — Maari has never dated anyone before.

[ Extras ]
↳ Maari has only very recently come to civilization—up until she was sixteen, she lived in the forest with her friends.
↳ Since she is a haltija, she has sharper canine teeth and slightly pointed ears. Her blue hair would come off as insane and a total alarm-ringer, but since many people dye their hair nowadays, not many people look twice at her hair color until she mentions that it's natural.
↳ Maari, while very social, isn't great at recognizing social cues and will often only fully read a situation after recognizing someone's facial expressions.
↳ Maari sucks at math, but she is an avid reader and excels in literature-related things.
↳ As a veden väki, Maari can:

↳ Manipulate water anywhere from an ocean to tiny droplets.​

↳ Turn invisible, which includes clothing that she's wearing but not objects in her hand (i.e. if she's wearing a shirt, it turns invisible, but if she's holding a shirt, it stays visible).​

↳ Shapeshift minimally—she can change the shade of her hair and eyes, as well as her height. She can also turn into water or water vapor (i.e. a cloud), but since she is a very young haltija and has not yet reached her first hundred years, she can't really do much regarding shifting. Sometimes, she shifts due to her emotions, but they usually have to be very strong ones to affect her that way.​

↳ Heal and make ill with water. She can heal small cuts and bruises quickly and reliably, but regarding big injuries, it's best to see a doctor. Regarding illness, by making water gross and mucky, she can make people sick.​

↳ Use telekinesis, though this takes lots of focus that Maari doesn't have, so her telekinesis isn't very reliable. At most, she can lift small things that weigh a few grams with her mind.​

↳ Communicate with others in dreams, though it's very faint and oftentimes unintentional.​

↳ Cast shields to protect people and/or places. These shields vary in size and strength depending on her stamina and how many shields she puts up.​

↳ Gain power and energy via offerings and prayers, though she gets them much less often nowadays.​

↳ "Die" if her bound-place is destroyed. In her case, her "bound-place" is her stream.​

[ Age ]
↳ 17

[ Gender ]
↳ Male

[ Sexual Preference ]
↳ Pansexual

[ Ethnicity/Nationality ]
↳ Afro-Salvadoran

[ Species/Race ]
↳ Cadejo
Contract to popular belief, there are no white or black cadejos. All cadejos are born with the same amount of good as a human, but they are susceptible to developing or succumbing to bad habits. When a cadejo succumbs to a vice, other cadejos say that "they've surrendered to El Cadejo". El Cadejo is the devil in Cadejo culture. When a cadejo gives in to El Cadejo, they lose their ability to transform.

Cadejos are dog-like creatures with goat features (goat horns, goat smell, goat hooves). However, due to evolution, most if not all cadejos possess human forms. Cadejos live in small 100-300 person settlements called packs. They function similarly to a wolf pack in their treatment of each other. Those of the pack who succumbed to El Cadejo are forced to the outskirts of the community and usually shunned.

Persona

[ Personality ]
↳ Ademir wears his heart on his sleeve. He's sensitive and affectionate, while also standing by his beliefs. He is kind of quiet in group settings, but if he likes someone, he'll talk their ear off. He is loyal to a fault and will do almost anything to guarantee the safety of those he loves and those who deserve protection. He can be a tad judgemental though and often turns his back on those who do wrong without giving them a chance to do right.

[ Likes ]
↳ Meat | Comics | His mom's cooking | Babies | Sports | Dancehall Music | Sunny days | Eating oranges in the shower | Warm Nights

[ Dislikes ]
↳ Bullying | Vast Bodies of Water | When people pretend to throw the ball | Lavender scented anything | Biscotti | Meatless Dishes | People touching his hair | Being described as chocolate/mocha-skinned | Ballroom Dancing

Background

[ Mother & relationship ]
↳ Valeria Ramos - She is both hard and soft on her son. She pushes him into a lot of activities and commitments because she doesn't want him to end up like her husband who succumbed to El Cadejo and "became an unsightly bum". At the same time, she is very protective and affectionate towards Ademir.

[ Father & relationship ]
↳ Ariel Ramos - Their relationship hinges on Ademir ignoring his dad's alcoholism. His dad is also a cadejo, but like most of the species, he is susceptible to harmful vices such as drinking, and thus can no longer transform. He and Ademir get along to a point but as soon as it seems like Ademir is judging him, he becomes touchy and mean spirited. He lives separately from the pack and most members don't acknowledge him as one of their own.

[ Siblings & relationship ]
↳ Ademir has no biological siblings but he often assumes the big brother role for the younger pack members.

[ Current Relationship/Status ]
↳ Single

[ Past Relationships ](Optional)
↳ Lilywillow Dean/Ex-girlfriend (Pixie)
↳ Octavius "Ocho" Rivera/Ex-boyfriend (Cadejo)
↳ Kay Raymond/Ex-boyfriend (Werewolf)

[ Extras
When Ademir transforms he becomes a cow-sized black dog with glowing red eyes, goat hooves, and goat horns. In this form he is faster, stronger, and exceptionally good at retracing his steps.
