Now that you've had a week to plan, this is the official role call post for the AU. Please reply to whatever header your character is included in with a summary of their role in Portland, with your character's name in the post subject. You can just copy and paste summaries used in the plotting post if you like, though for the same of mod plotting I would ask that you name and bold any of the following in your descriptions:
Organizations: If your character is in a group or organization of any kind, please bold it! This will be important for the dispensing of IC clues and NPC attention.
NPC Connections: If your character has a powerful NPC of any kind that they are connection to, please list and bold them. The mods will be writing some of these NPCs into the metaplot, and we can't do that if we don't know they exist!
Meetup Points: If your character runs or is affiliated with anything that could be considered a supernatural hangout, it would be useful to make them easy to find, for the sakes of people who want to know what kind of places will be available in Portland for their characters to hang out.
Confirming your concepts in this post is not mandatory, but I would super appreciate anyone who does. If you do not reply to this post, your character will not be tied into the metaplot. Additionally, I will give everyone who does reply a +2 AC point bonus to their next activity check, per character they reply with.
Regular ol' joes. Includes characters with minor psychic gifts and magic users, with or without the backing of a magical coven. If your character is part of a coven, such as the Circle of Enlightenment, make sure to name and bold it without your description.
Ashleigh (who uses her full name in this continuity!) is the City Head of the Circle of Enlightenment, having risen to the position at her relatively young age through a combination of natural talent, revolutionary progress, diplomacy, and a hunger for knowledge.
In many ways she is revolutionary in her approach to magic, relying heavily on technology -- digital libraries for cross-referencing and searching, math and graphics programs to calculate spell circle diagrams, even repurposing a Roomba to actually DRAW a spell form instead of laboriously doing it herself.
Most of her history has been all about either studying magic, or pursuing personal relationships that taught her more about the supernatural in general. All of her relationships, friendships, and associations are primarily self-serving -- but Ashleigh is not a fool, and is careful to make sure others gain from associating with her as well. She didn't get her position from a power-grab, but because people knew she could DO it.
Ashleigh has her fingers in a LOT of pies. She is keeping tabs on other supernatural beings, engaging in diplomacy with organized factions of them, watching threats to her organization, and balancing her duties to maintain power.
Zecora is a normal human woman who runs a quiet medical practice at her private clinic. Her heritage and legacy are quite ordinary, save that she never quite grew out of believing in magic -- and as such, she recognized it in the world where others would not have years later, when her time as a medical resident brought her into contact with a series of injuries and unusual conditions that most people would never realize was suspicious. Zecora pursued that train to its logical conclusion, discovered that she'd stumbled onto a conflict between a mage and a shapeshifter....
And simply accepted the knowledge.
Zecora treats all manner of beings, discretion guaranteed, and happily uses supernatural charms and remedies in her work when she can. Moreover, she is quite willing to adopt a sliding scale and accept payment in what forms it can be offered, making her a popular doctor among those whose natures or supernatural activities would otherwise push them to shy away from getting the care they need.
Yuya is a psychic-ability human! When his distant relative Bartholomew De'Clan (also known as Bob) found out he pulled some legal and not-so-legal strings to get Yuya removed from custody of his parents (under "unfit to care for him" due to the uncontrolled rampant telekinesis and empathy) and has been taking care of him ever since. Yuya doesn't know how sketch the change of custody really was.
Bob is a government lawyer, who unofficially focuses on legal matters relating to supernatural people, such as rights and civic and criminal crimes. He's either a blessing or a curse for supernatural people depending if he's prosecuting or defending them. He's of moderate power and wealth (like upper middle clasS) but a normal human himself, and an opportunist who took Yuya in to see how far his abilities could actually be controlled/trained. He just has a couple researcher accomplices that swing by his house to help with that.
Yuya himself is otherwise just a "normal" 15 year old in Portland, attending public school for the first time. He stops by the Sanctuary every so often and frequently goes off at night to find places and people who are also supernatural where he makes friends and doesn't have to worry about pretending said abilities don't exist. He's pretty moderate in control and strength of his ESP and mostly has used it up until now for mundane things. Like moving the bag of chips from the counter to the couch.
Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy is a 19-20 young mage with the Circle of Enlightenment. Her inherent talent is pretty unimpressive, she was raised by adoptive parents who also fostered the changeling Axel, and one of her great-grandfathers was a changeling, and on top of that, the mage she apprenticed under when she was seventeen died in a working that she survived. Snootier mages don't care for her and have blocked her out of a lot of the really interesting work she's interested in.
However, her thorough and detail-oriented nature means she's really good at the magic she does. Scout manages to live reasonably well off of tedious slow-to-perform magic, particularly warding; she's got rent paid for half a year thanks to a spell that banishes vermin. Still, she always wants to do more. She keeps going back and forth on if she wants to apprentice under Ashleigh, as has been offered, and does a lot of independent study. Tallisibeth found an old spell for summoning a probably-angelic flaming sword! Her white-and-gray cockatiel Thranta is her familiar and goes with her everywhere.
She knows a little about most things, but largely keeps to her research. Her magic is always signed "Scout", but outside of the mage community, everyone calls her Tallisibeth.
In this AU, Jonathan Strange is a human mage, who's just turned 40 and is honestly just two steps away from a midlife crisis. He discovered his magic when he was a teenager, just before the Severing. He married Amanda Forrest when both were in their early twenties. Amanda has no abilities herself and took to the magical world terribly. She's a sweet woman, it's just that she has the misfortune of being thrown headfirst into magical bullshit with no warning and being married to a man who prioritizes magic over things like 'a healthy relationship.' A combination of magic being creepy, Strange being creepy, and Strange being an entirely neglectful husband led to the two of them having a very messy and very public divorce: Strange has been divorced for almost a year now. He currently lives in a small condo on the outskirts of the Pearl District because the wife took the house in the settlement.
Strange has taken a bit of an unhealthy interest in the fae and the Rose Queen's court, to the extent of interrogating changelings and other magical beings to tell him what they know about her. He's tailored his magic more towards summoning beings and binding them to his will, but he has gotten good at various miscellaneous spells such as scrying, location spells, and revealing illusions. Elemental magic is so far beneath him (it's CHANGELING magic, gross) but he knows the bare minimum. He's especially stuck up with regards to mage magic compared to other magic and can be a teensy bit prejudiced and dickish to other supernatural beings.
He's so up his own ass that and obsessed with finding out more information about the fae, that he bound John Childermass to be his faerie servant (well, changeling servant) and regularly sends him on dumb errands and bugs poor Childermass for information on the Rose Queen, faerie and, in a super pathetic manner, his ex-wife because Strange is a sad loser divorcee with no sense of boundaries. Surely Childermass is not taking advantage of this in the slightest, no sirree, why would he do something like that?
Strange is Not A Nice Man. He's a member of the Circle of Enlightenment, and has been for over ten or so years. He's been working his way up the Circle, kissing butt, practicing spells, and throwing as many people under the bus as he can (sorry Pearl) to gain access to even more powerful summoning spells and even more knowledge about what Faerie-the-realm and faerie-the-race were like before the Severing. Part of that kissing butt involves Strange being a terrible suck-up to Foster & Amethyst's mage parents and being forced to check up on Foster & Amethyst every now and then as a result. That being said, he's only about middle influence with the Circle and, because of his tendency to be a bit weird about faeries and look into creepy warlock-ish summoning spells, it's unlikely that he'll get any higher. He doesn't have many friends in the Circle, with the exception of the now dead Bob the Mage. They played pool together. He's pretty pissed at Elsa for Bob's murder because dude, he can literally count his actual friends on one hand, what the hell Elsa?!
Strange's day job is another middle influence job, but this time in politics. Unfortunately, he's just in accounting, helping to balance the budget of the justice department, but don't mind him as he casually suggests that someone launch a raid on Crossroads oh no wait you're not taking that suggestion are you, well shit. He thinks he has more influence than he actually does because Jonathan Strange being full of himself transcends universes.
On a needlessly pedantic note, Strange looks pretty much the same as he does in canon because he's a boring human. The main difference is that he's American, actually wears things that show his arms for once, is marginally more sane, and has a sensible, short haircut.
In magical Portland, Lambert Wolfe is a mostly-ordinary 25-year-old human, and the foster brother of Miko and Peridot. He's currently struggling to complete a master's degree in library science at the local university, a career track he deeply regrets. His part-time jobs are being a library assistant at the university and a surly barista at the Toe Beans Cat Cafe. In terms of special abilities, he has a limited precognition that allows him to non-specifically sense misfortune in his surroundings. In the last year or so, he's also been able to see spirits/supernatural beings as they are, which is not as useful as it sounds.
Raised in Seattle a.k.a. the less magical version of Portland with Miko and Peridot, Lambert began to manifest weak precognition at sixteen, able to sense disaster before it was about to occur. The ability was spotty and unreliable enough that he could dismiss it as coincidence. He eventually aged out and started college on a scholarship, with little clear idea of what he wanted to do. The first significant incident with his precognition was when he first came to visit for a break: it pulled him towards Peridot, who'd just manifested her were form for the first time and was terrified out of her mind.
The incident drove Lambert towards trying to figure out what the hell was going on. Unfortunately, this isn't so easy for someone who doesn't already have a foot in the supernatural world already, and searching for information mostly led to the really shady websites. Ultimately, he ended up pursuing a history degree with a minor in Latin, on the reasoning that it gave him the ability to actually read and understand more of the original source material instead of some conspiracy theories on the internet.
Regrettably, the more he tried to research about things like 'transformation' and 'becoming a werebat' the more he kept running up into weirder and more esoteric shit, most of which seemed like things that would get him locked into a mental institution if he ever spoke about it out loud. Also some of these things seemed really stupid, like making deals with demons, who does that?
And then his senior year he found out his other foster sister turned out to be a different kind of werebeast altogether! So. That was fun. In any case, everything he'd read up to this point pointed to the idea that he'd get better answers to his questions in Portland, and Peridot and Miko ended up coming along for the ride (once Lambert managed to successfully apply to be her guardian, anyway, with special considerations given).
All of this means Lambert has a lot of random supernatural knowledge but very little practical experience of it. To make things worse, his abilities have evolved over the years -- in the past year or so, he's started to regularly catch glimpses of things that he knows aren't human. Or maybe it's just because Portland really is as weird as it tries to be?
While he's 'aware' of the supernatural goings-on in the city in a broader sense, he hasn't made much of an attempt to reach out to any of the various factions around, being painfully aware of being human as hell. Lambert's also starting to suspect the "research project" he's working on -- the re-translation of an old Latin text -- is not so benign in nature as it appeared at first glance. He's dragging his heels on making progress on that and avoiding his advisor (a mage) as much as possible.
In online forums, where he's a little less reluctant to engage, he's been posting under the handle veni_vidi_verti (I came, I saw, I turned around) for about the past four years. There's been a definite uptick of activity from him in the last year or so.
Miscellaneous crap: he's been wearing glasses since he was seventeen, has a giant rescue cat called 'Pig' that is mostly feral and roams away from the house, he uses a shitty secondhand moped to get around, and his sense of fashion outside his cafe uniform is limited to slouchy jeans and hoodies, because he ain't got no time or money for fashion that he can't just pull on. Still reasonably fit because he runs and hikes and does krav maga.
Tanyuu is daughter to a high-ranking family within the Torchlight, though her ideology is very much at odds with the fanatic hatred that much of the organization shows towards the otherworldly. This owes in large part to her brother, Ginko, having been ostracized from the family soon after he had been found after escaping from the fae. She would have severed ties as well if she hadn't had her own disabilities to think about--being wheelchair-bound and on the streets is not a good combination. As such, she works as a support member and minor mage, helping with healing injured fighters and occasionally crafting charms and wards to protect certain areas from intrusion.
Tanyuu is somewhat ostracized from both sides--the supernatural community wary of her for her high-profile family, and her family and organization looking down on her for her 'radical' thought that maybe supernatural people are still people. She can be found often at the tea shop Ginko works at, or otherwise enjoying the various parks and gardens around the city. For such a low-key person, it's pretty easy to recognize her--not a lot of young women in wheelchairs going around with lovebirds on their shoulder (say hi, Haruki).
Lapis Lazuli is completely human, and has complete amnesia, and while she knows about supernatural beings, she also heavily denies their existence. She attends the local university in hopes of getting her masters degree, and works at Toe Beans to help pay rent for her apartment. Lars lives with Lapis and if you think it's the other way around you are wrong. Lapis picked Lars up one night out of pity after he tried to eat her snake, and he's lived with her ever since. She denies that her roommate is a vampire, despite the weird and down right frightening amount of animal blood she keeps in the fridge. Lapis is stalwart in saying that it's for art and cooking.
Mostly, she's just a completely normal regular vanilla human who is trying to save up, get her degree, and get the hell out of portland because of all the weird shit that keeps going down in her life. Apparently she's some sort of supernatural magnet or something, because they just keep ending up in her life.
Sora Pu'uwai is a human with mild psychic abilities who partially remembers the carnival. He's 18 years old, and has spent the majority of his life in foster care. He doesn't remember anything before he was about 7, and thus can't remember his biological family, but most of his earliest memories involve bouncing around from home to home until he was placed with a permanent family at 8 years old.
While his foster parents aren't terrible, they are on the neglectful side, and basically only made sure Sora was alive and relatively healthy. Sora was mostly left to take care of himself, and was thus mainly raised by his guardian angel, Joker. Joker has been around for literally as long as Sora can remember, so he's rather attached.
Sora also has the ability to see into the future, though it's very random and honestly not very useful. 90% of the time it's something lame, like someone walking by his house ten minutes before it happens, although the other 10% of the time could be something that could save a life or help someone. It's pretty obvious when he's having a vision, as his eyes will go out of focus, and he'll probably drop anything he's holding. He also has the ability to see the supernatural, and can see past casual glamours on changelings and fae. Most of the time, he keeps these abilities to himself, having been bullied and called a freak for it more than once in his childhood.
Currently, Sora lives in a college dorm with Snake, his roommate, and Tamaki, the ghost who won't leave. He has a cat called Sparky, who's just a cat. And nothing else. Joker is around most of the time, too. Their dorm room seems to be a hub for the supernatural, as they keep getting visited by other supernatural beings as well. His major is still undeclared, but he is on the university soccer team.
He's not involved with many supernatural organizations, due to Joker's protectiveness keeping him away, but he wants to help anyone he can, and would never turn away anyone in need.
Hinawa Westwood is a human with psychic powers and has complete amnesia.
Her psychic abilities are telekinesis, which allows her to pick up and levitate small objects (no heavier than ten pounds unless she's concentrating especially hard), and the ability to "read" photographs of people by touching them. This allows her to glimpse a vision of what the person was doing in the past, although it's very hit or miss- sometimes the visions are very short or blurred and therefore don't make a lot of sense. Still, it was enough to convince her that she can totally solve crimes, and often tried to strong-arm her way into helping with police investigations, especially missing persons cases.
Law enforcement thinks she's kinda annoying.
She owns a quaint little flower store called Sunflower Station, and she often works with Greg for gardening tips and Zecora to provide herbal supplements for her medical practice.
She has a loving NPC family of course, consisting of a salaryman husband and two grade school age daughters who are a year apart. The girls can often be found at the flower shop after school. They live in a little house in the 'burbs with a white picket fence and everything. It's so idyllic and perfect and nothing could possibly go wrong.
Sunny the Phantump is a large, imposing tree outside of the flower shop. Sometimes it appears to glow in the dark. spooooooky.

Hinawa
Her psychic abilities are telekinesis, which allows her to pick up and levitate small objects (no heavier than ten pounds unless she's concentrating especially hard), and the ability to "read" photographs of people by touching them. This allows her to glimpse a vision of what the person was doing in the past, although it's very hit or miss- sometimes the visions are very short or blurred and therefore don't make a lot of sense. Still, it was enough to convince her that she can totally solve crimes, and often tried to strong-arm her way into helping with police investigations, especially missing persons cases.
Law enforcement thinks she's kinda annoying.
She owns a quaint little flower store called Sunflower Station, and she often works with Greg for gardening tips and Zecora to provide herbal supplements for her medical practice.
She has a loving NPC family of course, consisting of a salaryman husband and two grade school age daughters who are a year apart. The girls can often be found at the flower shop after school. They live in a little house in the 'burbs with a white picket fence and everything. It's so idyllic and perfect and nothing could possibly go wrong.
Sunny the Phantump is a large, imposing tree outside of the flower shop. Sometimes it appears to glow in the dark. spooooooky.
