Disclaimer: this
explains the Tenebris family and those descended from them with the connection
of deities. This means in all technical terms they are goddesses (half),
however, proclaim themselves as witches. They have followed the ways of Livia
in this. They are fully aware of their deity connection but refuse to use that
title. They instead worship only a select few even though they descend from
them. This also explains their power levels and will be updated with further
details. Valentina and I have already discussed this. This should also be
posted on the group blogs.
Blood magic is one of the most ancient forms
of magic that links to the gods. The Tenebris family and those who are from
that line such as Sultan. Ishtar and Enki began the Tenebris line and most of
their children except two chose to keep their deity status. Livia was their
daughter that decided to only proclaim herself as a witch after leaving home
and falling in love with the Emperor of Rome. Marcus Aurelius Antoninus and
Livia Tenebris had five daughters.
Because of this link to the Akkadian(that
will be later known as Mesopotamian), the sisters and those descended from them
have the ability to use the darkest and lightest forms of magic. This is why
the Tenebris family is known as the eldest family within the Ut in Veteribus
coven. The eldest of this clan can use blood magic. Those within the Sultan
family later on in the line evolved to gain the abilities of shadow magic and
water magic. Though shadow magic is not as dark as using someone’s blood
against them it is still considered darker than even water magic. Water magic
was considered on the lighter side, however, depending on the person it can be
used for the darker.
”I will endure to be burned, to be bound, to
be beaten, and killed by the sword. Blood to blood, I vow myself to the will of
Boudicca “Rosa” Tenebris {Aurelius Antoninus}, daughter of Emperor Marcus Aurelius
Antoninus and Livia Tenebris. Descendant of the Goddess Ishtar and God Enki
(the old gods). Future Sultana of the Ottoman Empire. I will protect her and
those she loves with my life. I will carry out her orders and destroy any enemies
of her or the blood in my veins boil and kill me”
Who takes this oath:
Those gladiators who have fought for their freedom and decided to pledge their lives to the service of Boudicca Tenebris. Furthermore, those Roman's who wish to pledge their lives to the service of Boudicca Tenebris.
An Oath for the Turkish side shall be done as well:
Disclaimer: Very sorry this took so long. This takes place before Isis, Mal, or even Valentina. Prince Devran is just a baby. This is so the sisters not only can come together, come up with a plan to get the baby Devran back, but also so each sister can share what happened to them throughout the centuries. So each can create more depth to their particular sister. if that makes sense. Very sorry for the lateness of this.
The Tenebris {Aurelius Antoninus} sisters were born to Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus and his lover (consort) Livia Tenebris. Each of them had abilities that a few may consider dark. Combination of the abilities from their mother’s ancient bloodline and the political knowledge from the tutors who served their father, the sisters are a force not to be reckoned with. They are the ones that are known to many and yet few have the blessing to meet. For centuries, the sisters have not been together due to fear of capture or even slaughter, and they have been this way since the death of their parents at the hands of their half-brother, Commodus.
Fear of power is a great tool of destruction even within family lines. Heirs do what they must ensure their success even at the downfall of their own flesh and blood. Those who seek power care nothing for anyone that they consider to be a threat. This was what drove the ultimate betrayal of the Tenebris {Aurelius Antoninus} sisters.
Present:
The Eldest out of the Tenebris {Aurelius Antoninus} sisters knew that it would have been a long shot and dangerous for all of them to come together once more. However, Antigone knew in the pit of her stomach that the centuries had past allowing their half brother Commodus and at least his immediate descendants to die out. Though it had been centuries since she had last seen her sisters, Antigone could still feel each of them. The eldest sister has also gone in and out of different countries where they were each located always in the shadows. The current country the eldest sister found herself in was a newly founded empire, the Ottoman Empire.
For a while Antigone stayed in the shadows watching her sister Boudicca fall in love and give birth to a child. A child could pose a risk of safety, but Antigone still stayed in the shadows until she saw the child kidnapped by the hands of the enemies of the Turks. She could feel the pain coming from Boudicca and anger. This made her decide that it was time that they all came together. They were stronger when they were in the same location, and it had been far too long since they were all gathered.
The eldest knew that their parents would understand her decision and hoped the others would as well. Take a deep breath, Antigone came out of the shadows just miles away from the Ottoman’s main castle. She looked around at the land, took out of her right pocket a knife given to her so long ago, and sliced the palm of her left hand. The blood pooled from the flesh of her palm and began to drip onto the ground. She looked up at the sky and threw her blood from her hand towards the sun then swirled her hand around causing dark clouds to form. After a few seconds, the Dark Ancestral Witch turned her focus on the ground moving her blood into a pentagram upon the sand.
Once the pentagram was completed, the Dark Ancestral Witch moved to the middle of the pentagram. “Tempus est. Ishtar et Enki nos defendunt, quia posteri tui sumus” (It is time. Ishtar and Enki protect us, for we are your descendants.) She said in her thick Roman (Ancient Roman) accent. Closing her eyes, the Dark Ancestral Witch took her necklace which the sisters’ mother made for each of them and took it off her neck. She looked down at it for a moment and then threw it up in the air followed by more of her blood. She swirled her blood drench left hand and swirled it around in a circle as the necklace and her own blood came together.
Seeing that the sky above was turning dark with red streaks that looked like crimson red blood and the blood/necklace spinning high in the air, the Dark Ancestral Witch spoke, “Audite me sorores. Tempus est iterum convenire. Per saecula seorsum mansimus et nunc sanguis meus. Praeter suspendemus, sed una iterum Tenebris {Aurelii Antonini} familia iterum erimus” (Sisters hear me. It is time to come together once more. For centuries we have remained apart and now my blood. your blood calls you each forth. Apart we will hang but together we shall once more shall be the Tenebris {Aurelius Antoninus} family once more). The words came from her mouth as if she spoke them in her mind many times before and perhaps she had over the centuries.
Upon the words leaving her mouth, the spinning increased, and the sky turned darker with streaks of red coming forth from the clouds till they united with the necklace/blood. As soon as this happened, a great burst of red light went across to the sky sending a signal to each of the sisters. Antigone continued speaking the words, swirling her hand, allowing the blood to drip upon the ground, and watched as the sky began to storm. The signal still visible high in the sky while chaos began above.
Disclaimer: This is a list for those who are within these families. This list was all done through looking up and determining which abilities matches with what family. Each family has their own selected abilities, however, each person within the family will have their own set of abilities that are not inherited.
Founding Families special abilities:
Tenebris: The eldest of the founding families. Their abilities are darker than the rest of them. The blood magic in later generations can turn into Shadow Magic
Blood magic:he user is able use blood magic, an ancient and very powerful but still dangerous form of magic that relates to blood. This particular kind of magic predates the modern word-based magic via incantations and was considered by some to be more powerful than most due to the esoteric nature of blood, as user has the inherent power in their blood, they can cast extremely powerful spell.
Blood Magic was a kind of magic based on the employment of blood which is an important component in many rituals, spells and other aspects of the supernatural world, an due to the supernatural properties of the user's blood they can inherit specific magical blood-based powers (E.g. Blood Manipulation). Due to diversity of blood, users can used different blood type to preform different forms of spells which can bound to the blood they used.
Blood Manipulation:Users can create, shape, and manipulate blood, an essential body fluid in humans and other animals that delivers necessary substances such as nutrients and oxygen to the cells and transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells. The majority of users are only able to exert control over the blood of themselves, using them for various purposes, such as for rituals, examining, or most commonly combat. They can shape their blood into tendrils to strike enemies from afar or use it to trap opponents in a prison of blood. Users can concentrate blood into a single point, and shoot it out akin to bullets, or sharpen their blood to the point that they can slice and tear flesh with ease or solidify blood to use as rock-hard ammunition.
Some users would be able to indirectly control the movement of objects by leaving traces of blood on them and manipulating that blood in order to move said object. When manipulating blood, users are at risk of anemia and dying of blood loss for users that use their own blood. Being in a wet environment can also prove troublesome, as exposure to water will cause the membrane of red blood cells to tear, making 45% of blood uncontrollable.
Another use of blood manipulation is controlling the blood within the body of oneself, increasing physical abilities by speeding up the transport of nutrients and oxygen via blood to all parts of their body, thus improving their energy and power. They can also use this to speed up healing by immediately clotting their blood, preventing blood loss and speeding up the recovery process, gaining a form of manual healing factor. Sometimes, users would be able to control the composition of their blood down to the number of red blood cells present in their blood stream. Blood manipulators can also gain a form of cold immunity by increasing body temperature through blood-flow.
More advanced users would be able to manipulate blood from anywhere in their surroundings, such as the bodies of other living creatures, allowing them to control them like puppets, induce nosebleeds or headaches, or cause blood-related diseases or conditions such as Sickle Cell Anemia Thrombosis. At an even higher level, users could instantly kill others by making blood explode from the inside out or forcibly causing their heart to stop or knocking them unconscious by restricting blood-flow to the brain.
Bleeding Inducement:The user is able to induce bleeding in oneself and/or others, either inflicting bleeding wounds or causing them to bleed heavier than they would otherwise.
Blood Removal:The user can remove the blood of oneself or others, which could lead the target to confusion, unconsciousness, death and other symptoms of blood loss.
Death Inducement:Users can kill anyone and possibly even anything using varying means, either instantly, slowly over time, after certain conditions are met, or after a certain period of time has passed. May be induced by touch, at a distance, simply willing it to happen, or by performing a certain ritual.
Neurocognitive Deficit:The user can attack a target mentally and cause their upper brain functions to shut down temporarily or permanently, causing anything from pain to incapacitation to unconsciousness to outright brain death.
Novikov family magic: The Novikov family were known to be interrogators, thus their abilities grew to that. They each have their own set of abilities that is separate from their family abilities, but inheritance is still a magical thing.
Interrogation Mastery:The user, either innately or through training, is a master of interrogation, making them capable of extracting information from their opponents through various means. The use of the bad cop technique involves the means of intimidation, scaring opponents, pain infliction, or psychically extracting the information.The user can even use a more subtle way of getting information from opponents called the good cop techniques where it includes making them feel comfortable, being friendly with them or using reverse psychology to get information.
Investigation Mastery:The user possesses unnaturally high skills in investigation and can uncover even the most elusive of secrets with enough effort. The user of this power can solve various mysteries and conspiracies that are considered almost impossible to solve under normal circumstances.
Enhanced Intelligence:Users with this power possess extreme levels of intellect, enabling them to memorize and calculate vast amounts of information with exceptional precision. They can handle and interpret vast amounts of information at a phenomenal speed, and use their mental capabilities to predict their enemies’ movements and attack trajectories with pure logic alone. They can also apply their intellect to various fields of knowledge, such as science, engineering, medicine, art, philosophy, etc. They can invent new technologies, devise ingenious strategies, solve complex problems, and create masterpieces with ease. They can also learn new skills and languages in a matter of minutes, and master them in a matter of hours. Users with this power are essentially living supercomputers, capable of performing feats that would be impossible for ordinary humans.
Lie detection:Users can sense when they are lied to by various means. Unlike regular humans who can also discern when they are lied to with limited accuracy and consistency, the user can detect all lies being told at any moment, even if the one spewing lies is doing so through supernatural or abnormal means.
Truth Detection:The user can sense when they are being told the truth by various means. This ability allows the user to constantly sense when information told to them is credibly given by another and whether a person speaking is telling the truth. The ability to control one's own emotions and body changes do not act as a definite limitation for the user as they can sense whether a person is speaking the truth without such details.
Ancestral: These are the
highest order of witches within the covens. There is only six of them and to be
one you either have to kill one or do what they did which is do something
extremely good or extremely dark.
Example: Saving children or killing them for your own
personal game
These witches under here will
only have two each: Can be male or female except for the coven based
Coven Based: These two witches
are essentially the most in tuned with the spiritual stability of the group.
These two are the high priestess of the coven. They live beyond the group and
stay pure and holy. This is so they better can communicate with the holy Gods
and Goddesses. Can only be female
Solitary :These two walk by themselves as their name suggest.
They follow one set branch of witchcraft or a combination but never something
complicated. They are either dark or light never neutral.
Crystal : These connect to
crystals and draw their powers, energy, auras from them. They are the ones one
would see putting their crystals in the moonlight to charge. They are the
bubbly ones of the coven as well that loves shiny things.
Cosmic: They draw their powers
from the skies above and focuses on astronomy
Green: The healers of the
coven. These are more nurturing and in tune with nature.These are the ones that
one can see using the plants around them and tending to their beloved plants.
Hedge:Like green but they are
not focused on nature as much.works alone and doesn’t adhere to any strict
dogma—religious, spiritual, or otherwise..develop their own kind of magic,
focusing primarily on creating healing remedies and often working with the
elements, nature, crafts, and herbalism. Everything is kept simple and basic,
and all rituals are non-fussy and minimalist
Gray: They are neither light
or dark but straddle the fence of most things. They see that life has gray
areas and tend to be able to allow the others that float to one side to the
other to see the opposite.
Eclectic: tend to cherry-pick
whatever practices, rituals, beliefs, or ideas feel natural and good to them in
the moment. After all, witchcraft is a very personal and unique pursuit.
These under do not have a limit but lets
make it less than ten please
Baby: As the name says, these
are the new commers of the coven and craft. These are the ones that will seek a
teacher or mentor to show them the ways of the craft. They must find what kind
of witch they are and be mentored by an accomplished witch or warlock. These
doesn't have a particular number but fits into the next generation and not a
large number please.
Dark: They focus only on the
darkness of the craft. Their enemies are the light witches and never will see
the light of side things.
Light: light witches are calm
and only see the light of the craft. They do not care for dark witches and
often at odds with them.
Disclaimer: This
group is based around Occult-Wicca themes with Historical, myth, fantasy, gore,
and high triggers. This is a group created years ago and from the background to the stories around have been thought out to the smallest details. The theme is a coven of witches and warlocks coming
together. It is a coven. The only outlier is a fae/vampire reason for this was
because she was saved by the coven and in the heads eyes she is like them. In
fact, fae are of great use. More can be told soon.
1. No drama allowed in this group. If you have a
problem with someone within the group, please go to the person in private. If
that doesn’t work, then please come to the owners of the group or the admin
profile. There should be no drama put in the stats unless it is storyline
based.
2. Both owners need to know you are wanting to
join the group so they can keep up with those in the group. That is the only
reason and they both respect each other enough to tell each other if someone
wants to join. Do not just make a profile or family member of a family or
anything like that without asking and having permission. This is so the flow of
the group can continue.
3.Playbyplays: Please tell us what playbyplay you
want to use so we can put it in a list, and you claim it as your own. Once this
is done no one can have that playbyplay unless it is a twin, and the person has
spoken to you and the owners of the group.
4. The length of the group is 5+ para. Novella as
well but it is understood that most people are busy with real life.
5. Real will always come first. Do not push
yourself to be on if you are sick or busy. We all will understand that you may
need time away.
6. No wars or alliances without being discussed
with the owners of this group and any other group. We want to keep the peace
not have war all the time and alliances must be discussed with owners of each
group.
7. Above all have fun.. If you need help with
anything please ask.
8. From Rome, to Marie Antoniette the historical
themes are the limit. With some modern flare. But keep in mind that the old
ways rules
The Tenebris{Aurelius Antonius}:The eldest of the family
families is the Tenebris {Aurelius Antoninus}. Their origins date back to
ancient Rome and the line of Marcus Aurelius. These family tends to uphold the
old ways stronger those lower down. This is because to them the old ways is
what gives them life. They are all connected not just through blood but through
the magic. They are the oldest magic and seemed to mix their blood with that of
the Sultan line during the reign of Osman Sultan I. The eldest out of the
Tenebris {Aurelius Antoninus} line is Antigone, Athlia,Boudicca, Isik and Lydia.
more about the Tenebris coming soon
Novikov: The family was one of the founding
families of what is known of modern Russia. They were around during the time of
Ivan the Terrible even helped in putting him upon the throne. This helped him
keeping their secret of being magical and allowed them to have power as well as
wealth. Unlike the older of the founding families, the Anhalt family was known
to be wilder though kept the old ways all the same. They enjoyed their spoils
of war and enjoy making their name from it. The Novikov family is that of the
middle way between the founding families but do not let one think that they
have the clear minds.
The Anhalt: The
family founding that of Germany is the youngest out of the founding families.
Their magic is that of the newer kind, but they still enjoy the old ways
finding the joy of the order of things. Their line dates back all the way back
to that when the Germanic invasion, however, their families’ abilities never
appeared until recent times. The Anhalt family was the silent line from the
House of Habsburg that would later bore the famous Marie Antoinette.
