Birth date: September 13, 1861
Sexuality: Gay
Names and statuses of parents, siblings if applicable: Renate and Carl Schwan, both dead, Renate when I was young and Carl more recently
Deviations from standard backstory: Similar to Rose except I was kidnapped, instead of wandering away, and Nona's father the Baron was also present in the castle I was trapped in and was the obstacle to us leaving it
Significant other(s) - (nick)name(s), template(s): Nona, a Joker
Child(ren) - names, ages, species: None

Mental opacity?: I don't think so

Aether (Version 2 Profile)

Posted by: subtly_artistic

FULL NAME and UNIQUE NICKNAME and WORLD: Isabella Mariel Swan, "Aether", "Materia"
Species (name your variant, if your species name translates readily to an English word): Human
Birthplace and other residences: Forks, Blackwater, Magisteria, the Sphere; Magisterius University
Birth date: September 13, 220
Sexuality: Straight
Names and statuses of parents, siblings if applicable: Ranae Higgenbotham Swan, Charles Swan, divorced, both alive and well
Deviations from standard backstory: Ranae never remarried and I made it all the way to college without doing anything interesting
Significant other(s) - (nick)name(s), template(s): Celosia ("Celo"), a Joker
Child(ren) - names, ages, species: None
Friends of note - names, templates if applicable, characteristics: Nobody in particular
Mental opacity?: Defensively-oriented subtle artist ("psion", colloquially)
Coin color: Glowy purplish-grey
Local magic, tech, or other unique features?: Subtle artistry, some minor arcana - more freeform with more consciously-handled detail work than the standards but not as much power (unless I can cheat, now, what with my AWESOME AURA?)
Aura: Regular causality (one mile or line of sight, whichever is farther), "epic-level-ness"
World character (ask Glass, if your world is safe to visit; else guess based on examples): My world makes Glass puke because of the irregular causality problem. She says it's also, "Perverse - in the more literal sense - kind of sex-obsessed. Weird. It's not so much mean as it is casually destructive - the universe isn't out to get you but there are a hell of a lot of places you could stand where you'd get stepped on."
(Tentative) intended approach: I don't even know, I think I might actually finish college, a pentagon on subtle artistry helps but not by as much as actual practice does. But I'm going to stop being so damn timid.
Checklist items: Everything except the Materia Janepoint; I haven't been home yet and don't know where I can safely put one anyway.
Other: I'm technically in college to learn to be a therapist, so, I'm probably better than a randomly chosen person at that and I can steer away from anything you don't want me looking at (if I can get a read on you at all).

World character (ask Glass, if your world is safe to visit; else guess based on examples): Not unusually mean, but "high-stakes"; related to Eos and Aurum

Checklist items: Yes, except my Janegem isn't gonna work for who knows how long
Other: How about Bells who aren't me don't even try to interact with Aelise, I don't think that would go well.

Local magic, tech, or other unique features?: Standard tech. Sorcery, which I don't know how it's practiced in general but is pretty great except it costs finite mana supply.
Aura: Mana monitoring, threat gauge
World character (ask Glass, if your world is safe to visit; else guess based on examples): "There is some kind of extremely distinct flavor to this world that none of the others so far share; I'm not sure what else to say. Not unusually mean, but with strong affordances for particularly bad peaks of meanness."
(Tentative) intended approach: I think I'm doing the colony thing, but before I get too far ahead of myself I should find some other sorcerers and see what they do with themselves.
Checklist items: Yep

Names and statuses of parents, siblings if applicable: Rania and Cariel are happily married and live in Silverbranch; no siblings

Coin color: Parchment-color with inkspots
Local magic, tech, or other unique features?: Elven magery (which I practice) and the elven small magics (which I also practice); Wild Magic; High or War Magic; the native magical properties of dragons, unicorns, and other races. Low technology.
Aura: Mindscape protection, "elfiness"
World character (ask Glass, if your world is safe to visit; else guess based on examples): "I would describe this world as being helplessly addicted to being mean and trying repeatedly to stop. It's reasonably exploitable, so perhaps it can, this time. Flavored similarly to Chronicle and Rêverie."
(Tentative) intended approach: I have not decided yet, but I have a nice enchanted village on the island.
Checklist items: Yes
Other: While I do not mind, elves in general do not ask or like to be asked questions outside of dire emergencies. Thilanushinyel magic has a history of behaving unpredictably around peal magic; please consult Liselen before trying anything significant in my world or that interacts with magic from my world.

Birth date: September 13, 1987

Aura: Coin sorting, make-technology-behave thing
World character (ask Glass, if your world is safe to visit; else guess based on examples): "Pretty typical. Not too mean, perfectly exploitable. There's a layer on which Eos uniquely floats alone that no other world shares; it is in this way the opposite of Milliways."
(Tentative) intended approach: Mars colony. I'm fully public now.
Checklist items: Yes

Posted by: luminous_regnant

FULL NAME and UNIQUE NICKNAME and WORLD: Isabella Marie Swan Cullen, "Golden", "Aurum"
Species (name your variant, if your species name translates readily to an English word): Vampire (diamond)
Birthplace and other residences: Forks; Phoenix; various Golden Empire capital sites
Birth date: September 13, 1987
Sexuality: Straight, not that this is relevant to anyone except my husband
Names and statuses of parents, siblings if applicable: Standard names. Renée followed the standard script but ultimately divorced Phil when a vampire mated to him and he liked her; she is presently single, as is Charlie. I consider several of my husband's adoptive family to be siblings to me (Alice, Rosalie, Jasper, and Emmett) and Esme and Carlisle are also close, as are all these people's children.
Deviations from standard backstory: None until the divergence point in Forks.
Significant other(s) - (nick)name(s), template(s): Edward, no duplicates so far.
Child(ren) - names, ages, species: Elspeth Annarose Cullen, currently thirty
Friends of note - names, templates if applicable, characteristics: The aforementioned family; there's also numerous staff. Jane can supply a full personnel list if desired; one highlight is Elspeth's wolf Jacob Black. Only Jasper has found an alt so far (mine is nicknamed Jazz, the other Whitlock).
Mental opacity?: Yes, witchcraft augmented by vampirism.
Coin color: Glowy gold
Local magic, tech, or other unique features?: More advanced than standard tech, though nothing like Peace. Witchcraft, uncommon in humans and wolves, slightly more common in vampires and hybrids. Nothing natively amenable to scaling. The vampires, werewolves, and same's habits of mating/imprinting is unique and worth noting; if you visit, consult Alice first about whether this will happen to you.
Aura: "Vampireyness", fine shield control.
World character (ask Glass, if your world is safe to visit; else guess based on examples): "This world has some special connection to the Bell template but I don't have any more detail on how. It's natively mean, but exploitable."
(Tentative) intended approach: Nothing tentative or intended about it; my empire has been going for decades now. My slow-reveal approach worked very nicely and projections suggest it will be time to officially drop the masquerade in some five to ten years, after which I'll implement a public dead-people-processing solution.
Checklist items: Yes
Other: Please do not give offworld magic to the Imperial Factotum, Addy, however she may wheedle.

Sexuality: Bisexual, totally on board with propositions from random people
Names and statuses of parents, siblings if applicable: As standard except my Renée never met that Phil guy
Deviations from standard backstory: I'm a boy, and I became a wizard when I was 14 and went from there
Significant other(s) - (nick)name(s), template(s): Jellybean, a Joker
Child(ren) - names, ages, species: Nope
Friends of note - names, templates if applicable, characteristics: Tilly, a Matilda; Luke, my student (...we should check to see if he's an alt of Rose's guy, that looks suspicious to me)
Mental opacity?: Yes, as a native wizard-affinity
Coin color: Glowy silver
Local magic, tech, or other unique features?: Wizarding (let's call my kind Speech wizards); standard tech; assorted Powers with whom I am deeply unimpressed; some non-Downside afterlife I haven't felt confident about poking yet
Aura: Truthiness (it does work if I lie unlike Elspeth, I tested it, but I basically don't ever do that, which is probably why I got the aura; it does not make anyone inclined to take me literally if I'm sarcastic or tell a fictional story) and understanding-seeming-ness
World character (ask Glass, if your world is safe to visit; else guess based on examples): "This world thinks it's long-term-nice, but it's not really. I don't have a good feeling about the afterlife situation."
(Tentative) intended approach: Motivated capitalism was already underway; I'm juicing that up, layering a lot of defenses on everything I can think of, and basically waiting for Iggy to get annoyed and try something because I have no freaking clue how powerful it is
Checklist items: Yes
Other: Grace is my mindscape; don't handle her.

Birthplace and other residences: Sunnydale, CA, United States, Earth; Phoenix
Birth date: September 13, 1987
Sexuality: Straight
Names and statuses of parents, siblings if applicable: As typical except Charlie lives in Sunnydale
Deviations from standard backstory: For "Forks" read "Sunnydale", and then when I moved there I got called as the Slayer, met Sherlock, shit happened, I met some alts, then I finally pealed after getting murdered
Significant other(s) - (nick)name(s), template(s): My Sherlock, "Minus"
Child(ren) - names, ages, species: None
Friends of note - names, templates if applicable, characteristics: James, a Libby; Giles, a Rupert; Virginia, a... Virginia; Minnie, a ghost of no known template; two Jarvises

Local magic, tech, or other unique features?: Unfriendly Sunnyworld magic I haven't dipped into, standard tech, various demon species
Aura: "Aura of menace", and fire special effects
World character (ask Glass, if your world is safe to visit; else guess based on examples): "This place is mean as anything, all the worlds in the family are. The Sunnyworlds are distantly related to Wellspring on one layer and to Yggdrasil on another, but Sunshine in particular is more weakly connected to Yggdrasil than the others."
(Tentative) intended approach: I'm sorting out the demons first, making it clear that they can't go on eating people and being nefarious, giving some of them their own semi-penal-colony planets. After that I'll probably go a colony-based route like Stella and Pattern for humans too."
Checklist items: Yep.
Other: Do not turn into a Sunshine vampire. Don't. If you are a Bell and you want to know exactly why you can ask me and I will tell you privately.

Other: No

Birthplace and other residences: Forks, WA, United States, Hegemony; Battle School, I.F.; Tactical School, I.F.; Command School, I.F.; now itinerant
Birth date: September 13, 2155
Sexuality: Straight
Names and statuses of parents, siblings if applicable: Renée Higgenbotham Swan Dwyer (remarried to Phil Dwyer) and Charles "Charlie" Swan (divorced)
Deviations from standard backstory: Higher tech; either worse clumsiness or worse luck, plus higher tech and my mutuation, led to me getting an assistive device (exoskeleton, "exo") that gave me superhuman grace and speed but left me almost paralyzed without it; at age six I enrolled in Battle School and progressed through the relevant educational system and I met Sue there; when I was 15 me and Sue won the war with the buggers and were promoted to admiral
Significant other(s) - (nick)name(s), template(s): Sue, a Joker
Child(ren) - names, ages, species: You could sort of count Jane as being mine and Sue's. She's a something that lives in me and thinks with an ansible network. We're not sure how old she is really, at least six months (Peace time; it's kind of complicated with her).
Friends of note - names, templates if applicable, characteristics: There's Merryweather (a Rupert) and Whitlock (a Jasper).
Mental opacity?: That's my mutant power.
Coin color: Glowy copper.
Local magic, tech, or other unique features?: Peace is super high tech. Nothing technically magic, but Jane and some mutant powers are kind of close.
Aura: Gravity and dexterity. Dance with me, it shares!
World character (ask Glass, if your world is safe to visit; else guess based on examples): "Short-term mean, long-term nice. I'm not sure how it's judging time scales or what I even mean by that, but that's what I'm getting. There might be more aliens around."
(Tentative) intended approach: Figure out how to socialize with civilians nondisastrously, hire campaign manager, build Acheron Station, get elected Hegemon.
Checklist items: Yep! But I really shouldn't torch even though I can, it makes Jane have fainting spells. If you have any kind of protective magic, lay some on me.
Other: I was brought up in military school and am so not diplomatic. If you have super sensitive friends you probably want to be around to translate me if I'm talking to them.

Posted by: beheld_beauty

FULL NAME and UNIQUE NICKNAME and WORLD: Belle Marie Cygne, "Rose", "Rêverie"

Birthplace and other residences: Les Fourches, Callia, Terre; Château des Landes (as cursed by another enchantress); le Palais de L'Enchanteresse
Birth date: September 13, 1722
Sexuality: Straight
Names and statuses of parents, siblings if applicable: Renée Herriot Cygne (deceased in my childhood, since retrieved) and Charles "Charlie" Cygne (married, technically; they are encountering difficulties due to her prolonged absence but may work it out)

Mental opacity?: The thorns of my mindscape's rosevines will injure and repel anyone attempting to affect my mind.
Coin color: Glowing sky blue (as Sky power called during daylight)
Local magic, tech, or other unique features?: Very low tech; magic is normally uncommon, almost unheard of until I began to be generally active, but with cooperative channels enchanting is competitive with minting as a way of accomplishing valuable ends.
Aura: Wind, plants.
World character (ask Glass, if your world is safe to visit; else guess based on examples): "The flavor is actually more similar to Chronicle than anywhere else except Thilaunshinyel, but the tone is darker - I have the impression of a basically typical world quality on average, but with particularly deep pitfalls available."
(Tentative) intended approach: I am largely stable as the world's Mme. L'Enchanteresse; I do not typically interact with politics, only address the complaints of my people as they come up. Things may change somewhat as I investigate ways to use access to Downside now that we have it once more.
Checklist items: Yes
Other: --

Posted by: dark_light

FULL NAME and UNIQUE NICKNAME and WORLD: Isabella Amariah and Pathalan, "Amariah" / "Path", "Alethia"
Species (name your variant, if your species name translates readily to an English word): Witch (cloudpine)
Birthplace and other residences: Forks; Rockland, Maine; house not technically within any city limits in South Dakota
Birth date: September 13, 1994
Sexuality: Straight (daemons don't count). More likely than most Bells to sleep with random people.
Names and statuses of parents, siblings if applicable: Ranata Ekamma (witch), Charles "Charlie" Swan - unhappily married. No siblings.
Deviations from standard backstory: Parents are married, never moved away from Forks till I moved in with my teacher Metis Imestha after quitting high school.

Child(ren) - names, ages, species: None
Friends of note - names, templates if applicable, characteristics: None
Mental opacity?: Birth blessing warding off mind-affecting spells; mixed efficacy versus offworld magic.
Coin color: Glowy pine green
Local magic, tech, or other unique features?: Witchcraft (species-dependent; can't share). Alethiometer, an objective truth-telling device (only works within Alethia about things within Alethia, but if you visit then you're a thing within Alethia).
Aura: Witchiness, and a back-off warning for Path.
World character (ask Glass, if your world is safe to visit; else guess based on examples): Glass hasn't checked it; I think mine is probably about standard niceness overall, except with a very strong emphasis on daemons to the point where if you show up you will acquire one unless you wish against it regularly.
(Tentative) intended approach: Get witchqueen attention to have a good widespread news- and intervention-delivery mechanism; address afterlife; go from there
Checklist items: Yes
Other: Really, really don't touch Path, even if I have my aura withdrawn.

Posted by: jovahs_heiress

FULL NAME and UNIQUE NICKNAME and WORLD: Isabella, "Angela", "Samaria"
Species (name your variant, if your species name translates readily to an English word): Angel (Samarian)
Birthplace and other residences: The Eyrie, Bethel, Samaria
Birth date: 13 Harvestmoon, y656
Sexuality: Straight
Names and statuses of parents, siblings if applicable: Rinnah and Charles (married, happily); stillborn younger brother, no siblings living
Deviations from standard backstory: My parents never divorced, I never moved, there is no native magic in my world, and I was brought up sincerely believing in the divinity of Jovah
Significant other(s) - (nick)name(s), template(s): I am married to Micaiah, a Joker
Child(ren) - names, ages, species: Four angel daughters - Damaris is 10 as of this entry, Keziah 7, Ariel 5, and Peninnah 2.
Friends of note - names, templates if applicable, characteristics: Alleluia and Caleb know everything and sometimes come to parties. Micaiah's brother Nathaniel knows some things but does not attend parties, out of courtesy to Shell Bell. Uninformed friends include Serah, Delilah, and Elisha.
Mental opacity?: None native.
Coin color: White with gray speckles, like my wings.
Local magic, tech, or other unique features?: Samaria is nonmagical. The world is high-tech, but the society I live in is low-tech compared to standard and I haven't yet gone far afield.
Aura: "Benevolence" effect, and accompaniment when I sing.
World character (ask Glass, if your world is safe to visit; else guess based on examples): "On the nicer end of the spectrum, but mostly passively, and this may be restricted to the one planet".
(Tentative) intended approach: On taking office as Archangel, gradually open to the populace about magic and the nature of Jovah; gently reintroduce technology; make contact with other inhabitants of the world.
Checklist items: Yes
Other: Because of the current secrecy among the general population of Samaria, if you wish to visit, please appear on Jehovah rather than on the surface of the planet. It is generally inappropriate to touch an angel's wings but it is not necessary to make much of it if it happens accidentally.

Friends of note - names, templates if applicable, characteristics: Cricket, my cat; Kanim (not yet duplicated, may be later), a fellow magician; Sanda, a witch; Kexan, a dragon; Marianne, my mother-in-law
Mental opacity?: No; that kind of thing doesn't really pop up in Chronicle magic
Coin color: Multicolored glass chips
Local magic, tech, or other unique features?: High-magic, low-tech. Much magic here is ambient; harnessed forms include witchcraft, wizardry, sorcery, fire-witchery, and magic in the elven, dwarven, dragon, and unicorn styles, most of which I can use and all of which I know something about. Ambient magic is strong but undirected; harnessed magic is flexible but doesn't scale well.
Aura: I can see magic (but I don't automatically interpret it like Lazarus; I'm familiar with what Chronicle types look like but have not yet learned about others), and I have a sense for features of templates and worlds.
World character (ask Glass, if your world is safe to visit; else guess based on examples): Chronicle is uncommonly nice; bad things happen and people weren't generally immortal but incidents tend to be isolated, dealt with, and moved on from without much extraneous misery.
(Tentative) intended approach: Roselike - orthogonal to politics (except in my preexisting capacity as Princess of the Enchanted Forest) and largely support-style.
Checklist items: Done
Other: The Enchanted Forest is available as a receptacle for undifferentiated enchanting power if you want an aura quickly. Please attempt to be tactful with my family. I will be happy to read template features from you or your world (if it's safe) on request but cannot be very precise or confident yet. I am interested in collecting even obscure and impractical forms of magic if you have any shareable.
