Been trying to focus on more of my writing. I have a lot of characters. I'll probably post a full profile for each eventually. They all exist in the same universe (apart from my two who travel between dimensions, but they can if they want). I guess for this post, I'll just start with a list of characters whose names I currently remember, and a brief description.
Aaric
A spider demon, living in LA. He deals a drug called Venom, which is administered via spider bite. He is a chemist, and geneticist, and works at a university. He secretly enjoys romantic comedies. American, 137, male, demon.
Ardent Carmichael
Necromancer with schizophrenia. Her medication interferes with her magic, so she can see only one ghost, Collin, who is bound to her as a guardian. American, 26, female, human.
Callias Nightly
American, 2, female, quarter demon, three quarters human.
Collin O'Connor
Ghost guardian of Ardent, he died the year before sliced bread was invented. Born in the late 1800's, he fought in US Marines in WWI. Began running a speak-easy during prohibition. Died overhearing something he shouldn't have. His biggest regret is not settling down and having a family. He thinks of Ardent as a daughter. American, dead, male, human.
Crystal Stone
The only mage in her family, she has the ability to create golems out of any material, be it natural, or man made. She learned to use her powers through training provided by the Greek god Morpheus in her dreams. Her mother does not approve of her using her powers, and doesn't hide her regret in having the affair that produced her. She has a male twin named Emerald, though he has a different father. She has some questionable habits, and often runs away from home. All she knows about her father is that he was a foreign musician, touring in the UK. Her step-father is a human supremacist. English, 14, female, human.
Davion Eros
Voodoo love god, one of many children of the Greek god Eros, around the world. In order to make his assigned couple fall in love, he stabs their dolls with pins (it's no worse than a bow and arrow). He enjoys working in the field, and frequently shows up uninvited to his clients' weddings. His mother was a demigoddess of a lost pantheon, from an ancient civilisation. His powers from that quarter of himself are suppressed, but when he gets angry, the seal weakens, and he has been known to destroy entire cities. He remembers none of this. English (ish), 1,978, male, god.
Destiny (can't remember her last name at the moment)
Human with psychic type abilities, she has the ability to experience her entire future with someone, when she kisses them, as it would happen if she continued on her current path. Early on, she cannot control this ability, and it causes her to end quite a few relationships, effectively changing her future. Her magic doesn't work on technically dead types (vampires, ghouls, zombies, ghosts). She is the oldest of eleven siblings. She makes her living as a contortionist, and waitress. American, 24, female, human.
Dmitri
Mage with the ability to control both light and dark. He can bend the light around himself to make himself invisible, as well as manipulating it to create illusions. He can also control people using their shadow, but it is a lot more effort, and he can only keep it up for twenty minutes or so. English, 28, male, human.
Dylan
Freshwater merman, kidnapped by pirates at the age of 9 for his potential value as a nonhuman slave. After he proved to be disobedient, and ruined his resale value by mutilating himself, he was kept with the crew as their personal plaything. They often played sadistic games with him, and they finally broke his resolve to fight when he was forced to kill or be killed against his only friend aboard the ship, after an attempted escape. He didn't try to escape again until he was 16. They caught him, badly injuring his arm when he tried to fight. They cut it off when the injury became infected, cauterising the wound and leaving him to deal with the pain without painkillers. He didn't manage to escape until a failed suicide attempt, which set him adrift until he washed up in the Florida keys. Japanese-Indian mix, living in the US, male, freshwater merman.
Ember
Angel stranded in the mortal realm. She is entirely too trusting of the good in people, and it is only a matter of time until she falls through sheer ignorance. She was human, before her death, and normally would not have been turned into an angel. However, the powers of the Judeo-Christian pantheon wished to use her as a way to track her living twin brother, Jayde, who holds enough power to turn the tides of the inter-pantheon battle irrevocably in their favour. She doesn't know that she is basically a tool, and believes she was sent to the mortal realm to do basic guardian work. Heavenly, ageless, female, angel.
Emjay
Half faerie, she was abandoned by her mother when the leader of her settlement enacted a ruling to eliminate all mixed-race children living among them, since there was no way to ensure their future loyalty. Raised as a human, she did not know what she was until she was attacked by ghouls, and panic activated her latent abilities. Canadian, 18, female, half fae, half human.
Garret Donnelly
A vampire who gets rather annoyed if people use his first name. He goes by Don, and fought in the American revolutionary war as a human. He is a business owner, and good friends with Jienna, who works for him as a bouncer for one of the only legal nightclubs in the city. He owns NightFire industries, which manufactures products that benefit people the world over (one example of which is vampire-safe, UV filtering glass). He occasionally cross-dresses, and apart from the woman who turned him, has never swung that way. He has serious commitment issues. American, male, vampire.
Hayden
Mixed breed air/earth dragon. He was kidnapped by his mother at a young age, and taken to Japan. He lived with her for several years, before she gave him to the Yakuza. While he was kept more or less locked up, he didn't know why, having never been told by his mother that he was anything other than human. His powers suppressed, he eventually gained some responsibilities within the organisation, and, despite a few broken rules here and there (made obvious by the missing 2/3 of his pinky, and 1/3 of his ring finger), he managed to climb the ranks. Eventually, he made the mistake of falling in love with his direct superior's daughter. This was used to control him. When he found out that she didn't really love him, the suppression of his powers slipped, and he lost control, killing a significant portion of the local branch. It has been several decades since then, and he now lives in Ireland, generally avoiding people. Born in America, raised in Japan, living in Ireland, age 78 (looks 20-ish), male, dragon.
James Tanner
A nurse with diagnostic magic, he can tell what's bothering his patients, as well as what caused it in the first place. He is one of very few nurses trained in both human, and supernatural medicine. He is also the servant of the Aztec goddess, Coatlicue, and doesn't have much time for a social life. American, 29, male, human.
Jayde
Extremely powerful mage, who cannot use his own magic. He has the ability to manipulate the very fabric of the universe, but only when commanded by one who owns both his body and soul. The majority of his soul was removed from him only a week after his birth, for his own protection. He was also placed under a spell that made him impossible to track--he cannot be captured on film, digital cameras stop working just being in his presence for too long, and break if they capture a photo of him, he leaves behind no scent, and in spite of his huge potential, he leaves no energy trail. Even his aura is invisible, unless looking directly at him. He is the living twin of Ember, though he does not know he ever had a sister. He was kidnapped by a demon, who tracked his mother, at three months, and raised by the demon until he was five, before escaping. He is addicted to body modification, and romance novels. He makes his living as a bounty hunter. American, 27, male, human (ish).
Jienna Elizabeth Denot
A supernatural rights activist, with no magic of her own. She is short tempered, and never turns down a bet, even if she knows she'll lose. She is highly competitive, and hates it when people help her, even if she needs it. Participates in an underground fight club, which generally only allows supernaturals--she is immune to all forms of therianthropy, however, and they have made an exception, since she cannot be infected by other fighters. She is allowed to wear brass knuckles to make up for her comparatively lower strength. She hates feeling weak, and is rather discontent with her human status. She has a habit of purposely pissing people off, though she can be well spoken, and eloquent when she has motivation to be. Her past is a mystery, since she rarely talks about it. She cannot be trusted in the kitchen. Her bad luck around anything more complicated than the refrigerator is legendary. The microwave can only be used with supervision. American, 23, female, human.
Kai Holmes
Younger half-brother of Hayden. He is the head of the American branch of Supernatural Intelligence and Crime Law Enforcement, SICLE. He plays XBox live in his spare time,
and he prefers to do field work, though he mostly gets stuck behind a desk. He does his best to present a good moral example of the supernatural community. American, 75 (appears 20-ish), male, dragon.
Kay Madison Richmond
A member of an endangered race of shapeshifters, there are only about 500 of them left on the continent of North America, and fewer elsewhere. They can shift into any form, and breed with any species, however, they prefer humanoids, as there are various potential birth defects which can come with breeding with non-intelligent creatures. There are strict rules regarding breeding, in an attempt to save the race from extinction, which require all free females to have at least three children before the age of 25. The first two children will be placed in a breeding program, where they will be raised by foster parents, and required to stay until the age of 35. Due to a government treaty from before public knowledge of the supernatural, outlawing interference in the affairs of intelligent non-human social structure, so long as humans were not inconvenienced, there is nothing that can be done to stop these programs. Kay is American, 22, female, shapeshifter. And childless.
Kyrin
Half demon, living as a human with his daughter, Callias. His girlfriend, and mother of his child, died in an unexplained accident, when her office building collapsed. Shockingly, there were no other casualties. American, 42, male, half demon.
Malakai
Teenager living in LA, and distant descendant of the Gorgon. He has the ability to turn any human into any supernatural creature he has met, with eye contact. He accidentally turned his mother into a vampire while she was driving, during the day. She died, leaving him completely alone. His power makes him an attractive prospect for demons looking to acquire a new slave. American, 17, male, human.
Melanie Lorenz
An earth mage, living with her uncle in England. Her parents were murdered when she was five, and though she witnessed it, and has crystal clear recollection, she has been convinced by years of therapy that she imagined the events. She is claustrophobic, and had a prescription to deal with panic attacks. The mass cover up involving her parents' deaths was due to the supernatural element, as magic was not yet known about by the general population. She was only spared, because she had the soul-stone of the dragon who killed her family. Her life is bound to that of the dragon, and vice versa. She doesn't know what the stone (set into a bracelet, which she never removes) is, only that her mother gave it to her, shortly before her death, and told her not to take it off. She doesn't have full control of her abilities at the start of her story, only able to use them when angry. She is forced to learn throughout the course of her story, when the event which reveals magic to the world causes most to lose control, and forces her to work with her dragon, and face her past. English, 17 in first book, 32 by start of second book (though aged at half the speed from 20 on, thanks to the stone), female, human.
Menta
Young genius, working on her doctorate in supernatural biology. She poisoned her mother after years of psychological abuse, and now lives with her father in the United States, though her mother's death was determined to be an accident. Her advanced intelligence is thought to be magical in origin, though the exact type of magic she possesses is undetermined. She is multilingual. Russian, living in US, 15, female, human.
Natara
Half sister of James Tanner, she has no magic, however she does have a distinct dislike of gods, from any pantheon, and a decades long streak of incredibly bad luck. She doesn't see any correlation. American, 21, female, human.
Oklan Degraffenreid
Makes his living as a bounty hunter, and general hand-for-hire. He has a few specific rules he follows, and a Hello Panda addiction. As long as they are satisfied, he stays on an even keel. He has the ability to turn off his emotions, and only ever committed what he considers to be "murder" once, because it was done in an emotional state, with personal motive. He would have been caught for that, if his missing father's friend, "Uncle" Roderick hadn't helped him to cover up the crime. He has since worked for several world governments, and earned a place as one of the top non-retired mercenaries in the world. The only person he cares about, to the point of protecting even from himself is his younger sister, whom he raised. American, 33, male, human.
