Spoiler: Salem

Salem, Massachusetts - 1692

In Salem Village in the winter months of 1692, Betty Parris, age 9, and her cousin Abigail Williams, age 11, the daughter and niece of the Reverend Samuel Parris, began to have fits described as "beyond the power of Epileptic Fits or natural disease to effect" by John Hale, the minister in the nearby town of Beverly. The girls screamed, threw things about the room, uttered strange sounds, crawled under furniture, and contorted themselves into peculiar positions. The girls complained of being pinched and pricked with pins. A doctor, William Griggs, could find no physical evidence of any ailment. Soon after, other young women in the village began to exhibit similar behaviors...

In the village of Salem, there was a woman named Tituba. As a slave of a different ethnicity than the Puritans, Tituba was a target for accusations. She was accused of attracting young girls like Abigail Williams and Betty Parris with enchanting stories from Malleus Maleficarum. These tales were about sexual encounters with demons, swaying the minds of men, and fortune telling. This stimulated the imaginations of young girls and made Tituba an obvious target of witch accusations.

But Tituba did only as she thought was right. Telling of these things as they were to come. When she was arrested she was adamant that the stories were true. Her last words before she was hung were: "Tatarim and his demons shall take this village.... and everyone's life along with it..." Soon after, even stranger things began to happen. People began to die, and Salem blamed it wholly on Tituba and many others they considered to be witches in Salem. Now, people come to hunt down these "demons", previously thought not to exist. Men and women come from all over. As these demons are being hunted, the women in Salem, previously known as healers and the like, are taking the blame for the deaths and other strange occurrences happening in the village.

Ooo, Oooo, ME~

Name: Lorania Delware

Age: 26

Gender: Female.

Appearance:

Long brown hair.
Blue eyes.
Stands about 5'7"
Slim, and slightly muscular.
Skin a fair peach color, but mostly fair.

Spoiler: Lorania Delware.

Role: Accused Witch.

Personality: Lorania a small child, had a mind of her own. She did her own thing when she wanted to. She never played by the rules. Though she did care enough that if people got hurt, she'd make the person who hurt them pay twice as much. Laid back, relaxed, she carefully thought through the things that she did. She wasn't much for friends. But, keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. She was at peace most of the time with the things she did, but other times she enraged in anger, or rebelled against those who did her wrong.

Brief Bio: Living in the past is what they called it. Though Lorania wasn't living in the past. She was living in the future. She wasn't always a witch. But, when her powers started forming, she knew something was up. Carefully, she started practicing more while no one was watching. One day, she went to her great grandma Luccelia, and asked her about the background of the family. She remembered Luccelia saying, "We've been accused of being a witch, but we were never proved out to be. So, they started killing us off one by one, when they expected us." With this, Lorania was a little shaken up. But she figured if her great gran was still here, she could live through it as well.

Ok thanks **spirits off to create CS**

Name: Anna Johanson
Age:Appearance of an 18 year old girl
Gender:Female

Spoiler: Anna (Middle)

Role: Demon in the body of a salem citizen
Personality: Anna interferes with the lives of Salem citizens nearly everyday. She revels in the ability to cause such havoc and sorrow. The foolish townspeople for hanging her summoner Tituba. She has nothing but rage for the authority of the town and constantly seeks to cause as much mischieft to their families as she can before she is caught, and her mortal body killed.
Brief Bio: Anna was once a normal girl that lived in Salem, but a normal life for her was not meant to be. She had been accused once before that she was a witch, but was found innocent. But, after they hung Tituba, Anna began to feel different, like she wasn't herself anymore, and often she would feel that she has a different personality in her. She has been careful to hide it from the salem authorities, but whatever is inside of her is becoming increasingly sloppy in what it does, and puts Anna's life in risk everyday.

A flat 6'0 tall.
Green Eyes.
Short black Hair and manly mustache.
Tanned skin, representive of much time outside.
Generally dressed as a gentleman

Role: Demon Hunter/Investigator ~~Ghostbuster~~

Personality: Curious and brave, as well as naturally investigative, Edwards tends to stick his nose too far where it doesn't belong. Nicholas is a polite and wellspoken gentleman, who's natural charisma tends to earn him quite a few friends. He's very enthusiastic about his investigations and spends much time documenting almost every event that happens to him. Nicholas is rather disorganized, his notes are scattered across several different journals with no regard to chronology.

Bio: Born into wealth, Nicholas has not known much hardship, he went to a gentleman's school, where he learned the arts of politics, language, philosophy, and warfare. A friend of Nicholas' dad died, and a demon hunter investigated the incident, Nicholas was intrigued by this man, and asked to learn more about the practice, enthralled by the tales of the man (Even if most of them were bullshit) Nicholas devoted himself to the study, research, and eradication of demons.

I can haz play?
