Once she was done at the boarding school, Elizabeth started to study nursing. She was sent down to New Orleans to help with hurricane survivors. One night, exploring the streets, when she thought she heard something. When telling the next part, Elizabeth usually can't remember.

Elizabeth was confused and slightly angry. Who did this to her and why was she still here?

Name:

First:Dubaku
Middle: N/A
Last: Ade

General Info

Gender: Female
Age: Her apparent age is 18
Date and place of Birth: Off the Coast of Liberia, in 1841
Occupation: N/A
Species: Ikaki

Appearance:
description

description
As her natural Ikaki self, she has a long, wispy grey tail with a slight tear in one fin. Silvery scales travel up her spine and neck. In this form, her eyes are like bright silver moons.

Height and weight: 5'8, 140 lbs
Body type Lean and muscular
Style: Modern Tribal.

Personality: Dubaku holds strong to her Liberian background, but also indulges in Louisiana's modern culture. She has a very calm and stern exterior which most mistake for indifference. She spends half of her time on land, blending in with the humans, listening for threats to her river, which she is over-protective of. Ever since the flood of tourists, she has become more scornful to humans. Her calmness can evolve into violence in the blink of an eye. The majority of her actions are thoroughly thought through, believing in logic over emotions.

Flaws: Her torn fin in mermaid form keeps her from moving at full speed.
Strengths Her stealth and ability to attack in the water.
Likes/Dislikes> The flood of ignorant tourists, screaming children, fishermen, factories, pollution, and idiots in general
Sexuality Heterosexual

description

Relationships

Family: Dubaku was the youngest of eleven children, nine of which died during their migration, which leaves her oldest brother, Kabri.
Friends She has a habit of scaring other off so...
Enemies She has quite a few of those. The majority of them are witches and the families of hunters that she maimed.
Crush None
Relationship Status Single

History
Dubaku and her large family originated in West Africa, off the coast of Liberia. They had been there for generations, until the bounty for Ikaki rose, making their teeth and scales extremely valuable. After years of living in fear, her pod managed to escape the cost. They planned on migrating to Louisiana, a place rumored for its peace and acceptance of her kind. One by one, her family members were weeded out by unfamiliar predators and deep-sea huntsmen. Dubaku had almost been caught after being clipped by a harpoon, tearing the edge of her fin. By the time they reached Loiusana, only herself and her brother remained. There, they lived in peace for generations, until the city crowded with new faces.

Name:
First: Keyon
Middle: N/A
Last: N/A

General Info
Gender: male
Age: Existed since the beginning of the Oyo empire, but looks around 19.
Date and place of Birth: Born in what is now known as Nigeria. Exact date is unknown.
Occupation: No one really knows. He kinda just shows up.
Species: emere

Appearance: description
(view spoiler)
Height and weight: 6'8, 160 pounds
Body type: Thin.
Style: Emere's have the oddest style. It's kind of a mix between forest elf and futuristic space soldier.

Personality: Elegant, graceful, dainty, and a total snob. He's very critical, and gets bored very easily. Like most emeres, he's vain. Unlike most emere's, he gets lonely and is often seen helping out witches during hunts just to entertain himself.
Flaws: Is kinda hated by the witches because of his critical mannerisms, he will not hesitate to point out another person's flaws.
Strengths Incredibly helpful. Can predict attacks from supernatural creatures, and often blesses the voodoo witches ceremonies.
Likes/Dislikes Loves dancing, good food and action. Dislikes bores, dirt and anything that involves him sitting still.
Sexuality Mostly prefers women, but likes men just fine.

Relationships
Family: All died a long, long time ago. He even forgot their names.
Friends A few other emeres, and even some witches that can tolerate him.
Enemies The witches that cannot tolerate him.
Crush None.
Relationship Status He makes it seem that he is always single. Looks are deceiving.

History
Between the 16th and 17th century, the Oyo empire became one of the most politically important African states. They had a strong army, a centralized government, and a flourishing economy. It was not uncommon for an emere to float down from the spirit world to chill among the rich, blessing the marriages, and helping witches. It was a good time, and the emere wanted the best of both worlds.

Keyon was one of those emere's. His curiosity towards the humans was unsatiable. They had some wicked parties and hot chicks. But as the empire came to crash and burn during the 18th century, the emere stayed away from Africa. Things got really bad when the Britsh stared drawing lines and confining African tribe into states. The Oyo Empire became Nigeria. Though they saw the catastrophe coming (emere's can see the future) that did not stop there vengeful nature.

Keyon among others banded together with the voodoo witches of Nigeria. They created a powerful spell that would bring justice to their land, and bring vengeance to those that tried to fight back. But it failed, even with the emere's help.

How Keyon ended up in New Orleans was unclear. He could've just stayed in the spirit world for a few hundred years, only to come out when his world was shifted to New Orleans. Or he could've been banished as a result of the spell. No one knows, but one thing is clear. Keyon will try the spell again, no matter what the cost.

Emma the Potato Queen | 44 comments Name:

description
Height and weight: 6'2, Average Weight
Body type Lean Muscular
Style:

Personality:
Lehkan is a sadist. Humans amuse him, and with the abundance of tourists recently in New Orleans, he is rarely bored. He is elegant and willowy, and will often use these traits to his advantage. His patience level is extremely low, not waiting to kill those who disappoint. Beneath his calm and fearless exterior burns the need for revenge.

Relationships
Family: None
Friends He is respected and feared by most other Adeze and a few other maliscous creature, though he doen't really have any firends
Enemies As many as he can handle and more
Crush None
Relationship Status Single

History
Lehkan originated in Algeria, where he lived the first hundred years of his life before being captured and boarded up for slave trade (whether this was intentional or not is debatable). Unaware of the beast they had brought aboard, the Europeans kept him with the rest of the prisoners and set off to the Americas. The captain was the only crew member to survive the trip, due solely to the fact that Lehkan needed a way to reach land again. As soon as they reached the docks, the Adeze feasted on him as well.
Being one of the first of Adeze in the Americas, he quickly became feared and respected by the creatures that lived there. All of this went down in flames when he was tricked by a male witch. The boy had promised a taste of his immortal blood to Lehkan. He agreed to the voodoo prince's conditions. He was too late to go back when he realized he had been tricked. For that, he was mocked and shunned for generations for being fooled by a measly witch.Every creature to offend him was taken down, and now all that remains of his mistake is the passion he carries for revenge.

Relationships
Family: Only one that is alive is Dayo, her twin brother
Friends Dayo. That's it.
Enemies About every single witch.
Crush Lekhan
Relationship Statussingle

History
In some West African cultures, twins are considered evil. A bad omen. Infants were often killed due to this horrible superstition. But in Haiti, while Igbo culture still had its influences, twins were not shunned by the community. When Ekun and Dayo were born, they both were radiating with power. Ekun was the darkness, and Dayo was the light. Yin and yang. Not one without the other.

Together they played a large role in the popularization of Haitian voodoo in America. Journalists from all over the world would flock down to the Caribbean just to witness the two in action. They could heal, control spirits, become possessed and control Red magic. Soon there parents began to see the lust for power dirty the once good morals they had. They broke many rules due to their arrogance.

The most severe one being the release of an evil spirit that let out a plague that nearly killed half the island's population. What would the twins gain? Immortality. The spirit was an adze, so together, Ekun and Dayo were bitten. A small group of good witches banished the twins to the Spirit World to end their reign of terror. They have been trapped for over 80 years.

But the Shift occurred, and they were released from their prison. As of now they roam New Orleans, forming ties with gangs and selling drugs. They are generally unknown among humans, but the witch community will do everything in their power to stop them.
