PLAYER NAME: Espilan CHARACTER NAME: Desidera CANON: Original Canon BLURB: Irrelevant; while a 'canon' version of Desidera does exist, her AU is basically an entirely new character.
AU INFORMATION
CHARACTER AU NAME: Desidera Neroni STUDENT OR FACULTY?: Student, 10th grade. CHARACTER BLURB: Seventeen years ago there was a Mage who had made a hasty and reckless deal with a Daemon, and rather than gaining any power for herself like she had intended, she instead cursed her then-unborn daughter to be born as something somewhere between Human and Daemon, granting her that power instead.
Sixteen-year-old Desidera is that daughter.
She was initially raised in secret out of concern that her Daemonic traits would mark her as a target for Hunters or other Mage houses, but eventually sent to the academy in the hopes that someone there would be able to teach her how to wield the power she was born with—a task that her mother felt incapable of handling—and also for protection in the event that the Daemon who granted her that power ever tried to come back for her.
Desi loves her mother dearly, but she also really hates the woman for what she did.
PRE-ESTABLISHED CR: It's not particularly likely that she'll have met any of the academy's other students before, what with the combination of a sheltered upbringing and being new to the academy, but she may have been spotted while getting situated in the days leading up to her first classes. Feel free to assume that your character's seen her at some point during the process of basically moving in, or while she's getting oriented, etc.
DESIRED CR: ■ Desidera absolutely needs friends; she's had very little contact with anyone prior to her arrival at the academy, thanks pretty much entirely to her mother's terrible decisions, and should really do something about that while she has the opportunity. ■ I'm also expecting that some people will treat her the way they would any Contracted, because she technically is, even though her mother's the one that made that contract in the first place. Expect responses from Desidera to be negative when this sort of thing happens; she doesn't think she should be treated as A Problem when it's not her fault she's this way! ■ Ideally, one of the Daemons among the faculty would be the one overseeing her learning how to control her strength/use her power, hopefully without being too bad of an influence on her in the process. If none of the players behind any of them are up for this, though, this bit can probably be handwaved.
OTHER: ■ I've got the basics of her backstory down, and at this point am basically just looking at fleshing things out a little to keep it from being too short. ■ Still working out some of the details on her personality. What's definite so far is she's interested in meeting new people and wants to make friends, but she also has a really hard time letting go of things when she gets offended. Also she actually hates her life. Please help her not hate her life. ■ My availability is 12:30 PM to 3:00 AM (US/Eastern) daily, but I will usually be slower between 3:00 PM and 8:30 PM.
Got a small bunch of OCs under consideration, but this one's the most-likely to actually happen, so:
