LOCATIONS {Dark Haven, Kauket Castle, Lamae Praetorium, Twin Magic (Upon Request)} THE BASICS Alignment: Good Innate Abilities: Scrying, Spellcasting, Potion Making Appearance: Human Sexuality: Personal Procreation: Mammalian Rankings: Apprentice, Priestess, High Priestess, Sorceress Distribution: Very common Mortality: Semi-Immortal to Demi-Immortal depending on the bloodline Status: Pureblood IN DEPTH Description Witches were once mortal humans who were granted the gift of power by the goddess. The amalgamation of the mortal blood with Immortal magic caused their life expectancies to grow substantially higher than a 'non-magical.' They also gained, over time, the abilities to scry, cast spells and make potions. They tend to have stronger spells than potions and potions often need a spell to give it a power boost. Death Since witches are essentially mortal, they can die in any manner of a mortal. When the body ceases living, the inhabiting soul leaves the body and returns to the Immortal Plane to be recycled. The body then decays, returning to earth as any other animal. Rankings The only time a witch gains any status other than Practitioner is when they choose to enhance their status. At this point, they become an Apprentice to an existing High Priestess, and occasionally a Sorceress. It is up to the apprentice's teacher when they advance in title. History When humans first evolved from apes, they were completely mortal, living for an average of seventy years. Some were able to remain healthy and live slightly longer, but this was pointless since they became very frail. But shortly after they starting building their own homes and using fire and other elements around them, some were able to harness the Immortal magic that surrounded them. These people were regarded as healers and honored among different groups. They were able to channel certain psychic magic such as telepathy, empathy and premonitions. Since they only channeled these powers and did not possess them, they were somewhat illusive and unpredictable. The gods and goddesses of the Immortal Plane had long ago revealed themselves to humans, showing them how to make fire, hunt and fish and so on. They kept nothing from the mortal human beings on the planet which had taken their interest. Not the humans who had been able to channel the Immortal Magic called upon the gods and goddesses to grant them more control over the powers that surrounded them. The goddess Sekhmet answered their call and granted a chosen number possession of the powers that were in existence at the time; Premonitions, Telepathy, Empathy, Telekinesis, Pyrokinesis, Auquakinesis, Geokinesis, Aerokinesis. Over time, these powers grew into different ones and Sekhmet granted more powers to more people who she deemed worthy. When Sekhmet granted them the most powerful magical being of all time, the child was greeted with fear and devotion. Many people of power wanted to kill the child, but others believed he had come to save them, to guide them, to teach them the ways of his mother, Sekhmet. But it got out of control. The humans, as humans are prone to do, twisted the words. Those who feared the child gained allies. Magical and non-magical beings became separated and battles broke out everywhere. By this time, the Magical beings were both outliving and our procreating the non magical beings and there were ten magical beings for every one non-magical being. The non-magical beings who worshiped Sekhmet to an unhealthy degree feared punishment for following the powerful sorcerer who claimed to be the son of Sekhmet. So they killed him. As punishment, Sekhmet cursed them to shorter lives of no more than fifty years and were never able to harness the Immortal Magic bestowed on the others. Feeling guilty about what they had done, the non-magical beings created Christianity and tried to get the Magical beings, now known as witches, to join them. But they knew what had happened and refused. The Christians, as they called themselves, became obsessed with their beliefs. They are slowly becoming extinct, however, with their short lifespans and soon will be wiped out. But they still fight. Edited by Documentation, Mar 27 2008, 09:28 PM.
