***Personal Info (Original character)***

Name: Bronach Lochlann (pronounce Bro-nah Lock-lyn), goes by Bro 

Age: 32 

Race: Witch

Job in/ around the ministry: Tech crew roadie during touring, minor social media networker off season, full time and certified counterfeit Pokemon card and Labubu sniffer-outer (don’t ask, she just knows)

Physical Description: She’s about 5’6”, cusping 150lbs; fairly average for her age and height, nothing extravagant about her physique.

Hair Color: Deep warm and rich auburn with more fiery red chunky highlights and darker brown lowlights

Eye Color: Mossy green

Defining features: Freckles across the bridge of her nose and scattering her shoulders.  Celtic knot tattoo on inner left wrist, a harp surrounded by thistles with a skull cameo tattoo on her right calf (for family heritage), and three minimalist tarot cards tattooed under the celtic knot tattoo.  She has both ears pierced a few times on the lobe as well as a labret piercing (center bottom lip)

Aura (Vibes): She initially gives off a vibe of being too focused on something, when realistically she’s most likely thinking about her next meal or looking at something shiny.  Very crowlike in terms of mimicry (is it echolalia from autism? Probably..she’s not tested), and collects random things such as feathers, bones, pretty leaves and mushrooms.  She seems scatterbrained or dense…which she can be at times, but she’s actually fairly smart.  She just lacks some social skills.

Ambitions and Goals: Bronach wants to learn everything. And not even in a ’knowledge is power’ kind of way; she just genuinely enjoys learning.  She’d like to make new friends, maybe find a partner in crime, but for now she just wants to be useful.  Eventually her goal is to be able to hone in better on her family’s natural gifts, and become a true Oracle.  

Backstory: Bronach is from Wexford, Ireland, and has the brogue to prove it.  The Lochlann name carries weight for soothsayers, oracles, and witches in the counties where her parents are from.  Her mother was gifted with the sight, often reading tarot cards and tea leaves for the superstitious and curious. Her father was a farmer, as were most men in the area.  While the family wasn’t rolling around in gold, they weren’t living ration to ration either.  These days her father still farms, alongside her two older brothers Sean and Callum, however her mother currently resides in Carrig Graveyard; Covid hit her much harder than anticipated (Bronach suspects that fifty years of alcoholism didn’t help).

She came to the Ministry regarding a dream she had; she saw the building, tall and proper, filled with books and music and a feeling of achievement and belonging.  She saw the job posting for a local roadie while the band was in the European segment of touring, and found that her weirdly specific dreams and deja vu only escalated. She chose a permanent residence to help hone in on these skills, and see if that comradery she dreamt of was really around.  She also can’t farm for shit, so everyone wins with her no longer living at home.

***Traits***

 To define your character's traits, you will be asked to roll 2 D10 dice, add up the scores, and place them in your attributes.Please be honest with your rolls!We want this to be a fun community, so as long as all rolls are honest, this should be a grand time! I will use the famous DND explanation of the traits! Papas get a+2in resolve and arcana but must take a-2in Tech. A Ghoul or Demon gets an automatic+2to either strength, Stealth, or Arcana but not all 3. Witches get a+1to Arcana. Humans take a-2to arcana but a+1in either stamina, strength, or Dexterity. Werewolves get a+3to strength but take-2on stealth and arcana. Vampires get a+2on both charisma and resolve but take-3on stamina and strength.

***Powers and abilities***  

Having powers and supernatural abilities is a great way to bring a bit of zest to the forum. They don’t have to be used in just combat either! You can use them to add to the world-building of your character. But for every power, there must be a limit or weakness to them. Ex. If you have Telepathy, the size of objects you can move is related to what you could move by hand Or Any elemental ability is limited to and affected by your surroundings/how much stamina you have:

 She is a witch by birth, though her ‘powers’ are still coming into play.  Prophecy and clairvoyance is the main family attribute; much like her mother she can easily read tea leaves and tarot, and she does have prophetic dreams…though prophetic is a much more extravagant term than what is actually dreamt.  More often than not the consistencies are little things: someone will wear the exact outfit or a conversation will happen word by word.  She’s not proclaiming anything grandiose. 

***Extras*** 

Feel free to use this section to add in a character playlist, a Pinterest board, or any other little facts and pieces of information you wish to share with the group. If you really feel up to it as well, you can include a room description too for easy access when writing bedroom scenes!

When I say that this woman is stuck in the 90s grunge/goth scene, I mean this bitch is STUCK.  Chunky collars, ‘smokey’ eye makeup (which is usually just smudged eyeliner that may or may not be leftover from the previous day), JNCO dark denims and Tripp pants with baggy band tees and oversized sleeves.  Sometimes when she’s feeling extra punky she’ll even wear fishnet tops with her layers. She also listens to a lot of music from that age (Ghost is probably the most recent band she’s gotten into if she’ll be honest). Yet for as ‘dark’ as she seems outwardly, and as silent as she can be, she’s actually quite energetic!  You get this girl talking about crystals, Pokemon, Zelda, or D&D and she probably won’t shut up.  She’s also looking into the care and history of different snakes and lizards.  Mojave banana ball pythons Brazilian rainbow boas are her current favs.

Her voice claim and some personality traits are inspired by and taken from Ruth Codd (‘The Fall of the House of Usher’ and ‘The Midnight Club’ fame).
