Character Two:
The Mirror Man:M iguel Trinity
Name: Miguel Austin Trinity
Gender: Male
Age: Twenty-One
Sexuality: He has never dated anyone so he does not have an exact foothold on what side he prefers.
——
Personality:
Miguel is a charming and witty man, one who will try to lighten up the mood with his smile. He loves to make small talk and can converse with strangers quite easily. Miguel can be a bit of a hassle though when it comes to things such as due dates and getting a proper job. Well, that and because he has a gift that allows him to create a pocket dimension that he can't exactly tell anyone about. Because of this secret, after he discovered this pocket of space, he became more reclusive, more to himself. So to this day, to anyone who doesn't know of his special.. abilities.. he tries to keep them out of the loop as much as he can. Even if he has to lie to himself in order to get it done.
——
Backstory:
Miguel was born and raised in California with a mother and a father. He was the youngest of three, one being a sister while the other being a brother. He loved his family dearly, holding them close to his heart throughout his years. He has experienced many countless things while growing up through puberty and the stages of teenagehood. He discovered a little about himself at highschool parties, sleepovers and 'dates' if you can call them that.
He doesn't really do well in a date scenario, he is much to awkward for that.
But he also discovered that, at a party, he could mingle with complete and utter strangers without a care in the world, but he has problems speaking clearly to his friends and close relatives. Why? He doesn't necessarily know, but he does think it has something to do with how you can sometimes only meet a stranger once so you can't embarrass yourself. Something amongst those lines. But at a party on his 17th year of living, he was having a lovely time at his friends house when the power surged. Miguel could feel a pull at his fingers and eyes, his mouth snapping shut and refusing to open to his mental commands. His nerves spiked to a degree he never experienced before, and he vanished. Completely vanished.
Police had reported to the scene of the party after Miguel's parents reported him missing after not coming home on time. Police, having found alcohol in the building, called each of the students parents and announced to them about what is going on. (Though, Miguel didn't drink anything as he was going to be the go to driver so no one drinks and drives.) Miguel, was not spotted in the crowd.
Missing posters, announcements on public radio' s and tv stations, all talking of the missing teen that seemed to have mysteriously "vanished" as they called it. It took three months to discover that he may not return home, and most of his friends stopped looking. Rejected by the idea that their friend may be dead. It took nine months for the deputies to forget about him, calling the case to a close as they kept running in circles with the latest intel from the students. And it took a year and a half for the parents to lose hope in finding their son.
And at last, two years one month and nineteen days later, Miguel Trinity magically appeared at a nearby gas station looking the same as he did back at the party two years ago. His hair a tad bit longer but nothing to serious. His skin was tanned with the kisses of sun and his eyes sparkled. He seemed to be a different man, Well would he count as a man as he looked the exact same as of when he vanished at the party. 19 years of age has passed since Miguel was born, but he only seemed to be living 2 years less of that. The parents were amazed, along with his friends and the cops who had performed the case.
He was announced a miracle to all those he has connections to.
But only if it wasn't a tad bit more supernatural than that.
On that day of the party, Miguel had activated a genetic modification that was passed down from birth. His connection to a interchangeable energy source known as Aura, Energy or Mana. The genetic modification was given to the family line when a spell long ago had backfired, changing the DNA of his great great great grandmother when a witch had cursed them. It was a much better outcome though, as the curse was intended to kill her but it only modified and damaged her.
Now generations in, the modification grew and evolved with each child, becoming more potent on the reserves of magical energy building in his cells and mind. And it grew to such a degree that years upon years later, at a party, the access was granted. The gears have turned and the doorway has opened, allowing for Miguel to slip into a realm parallel to the world around him.
——
Limitations:
He can not travel between dimensions as he is not someone who has that gift. Instead, he is given access to the mirror realm of the universe or realm he is currently in.
His de aging power is due to having the ability to revert a object back to what it was before. But he is limited to years. He can only revert something as far back as he had the power. For example, if he gained his powers in 2016, he can only de-age anyone up to that year.
His power can be taken away if he is administered a specific chemical. This chemical counteracts the modification given by the curse.

——
Explanations on the Mirror Realm:
(This is what an example of the mirror realm would look like, (this is not mine I have found it on the internet)
The Mirror Realm is a plane of existence that looks similar to the dimension it is connected too but differs to some degree. The sky instead of being multiple colors depending on the day is only black in the mirror realm. The colors are dulled down when you are in the mirror realm. Another difference is the lack of life besides the creatures that roam the dimensions.
Miguel will call the mirror realm "The Place" And "Pocket" when he refers to it in public. Though as the words have to be used in a specific manner as the place and pocket tend to be commonly used words.
——
Items that can be used as a Entrance and Exit:
(Not mine. Found it online. Do no claim. Goes to respective person who took the shot.)
Water: any body of water that is reflective, such as water, can be used as a gateway. These are the more commonly nature made things that can be hoped through. It is the easiest to travel through as well.
(This is not mine, I didn't take the shot and it goes to its original people.)
Mirrors: Mirrors are great ways to use as a way in and out, but they are much harder to enter compared to water due to their sizes. You will more than likely have to mist to get into this entrance or exit. They are useful because they can carried around by anyone. So if you see mist coming out of your pocket where you had a hand held mirror, that's why.
(This is not mine. All credits go to the person who made this and took the photo and posted it online.)
Devices:
Anything that reflects can be used, such as a tv or a phone. Depending on the size will depend if it's easier or not. You will have to mist for cellular devices and some tv's, but if the TVs are big enough you can hop through it. These are well used if someone is trying to exit and enter in a place where those are wildly available.
——
When a traveller exits the realm through a tv or device, the device will become static and become non functional until the person is fully out of it. And only then will it become functional.
When a traveller exits the realm through a body of water, the water will swirl, like a whirlpool is being made. And the person will appear there in the middle of the pool of swirling water. The water will stop swirling when they exit and the person can swim back to shore if need be.
When a traveller exits from a mirror, the mirror will start to ripple, like the mirror itself has become a source of liquid. The liquid will not spill out like normal liquid would, but it would stay in the frame. And the person will step out. No amount of liquid will remain on the person when they step out. And when they are fully out of the mirror, the mirror will stop rippling, and harden up into its normal original state.
——
There are creatures of the mirror realm, beasts that can detect the disturbances in the forces that make the mirror realm. When a traveller enters the realm, they will generate a sort of energy wave that the creatures can detect.
——
The creatures can not be hurt easily in the mirror realm, but once they are outside the realm they can be easily harmed.
——
When de aging, the main target time that Miguel would accomplish when he thinks hard enough depends on how far back they are being de aged. If it's a year, it will take a minute to two minutes, while the time doubles for two years and so on. The same goes with when he enters and exits by a portal too small for him to step in. It will take approximately with all mirrors 35 seconds to promote a full entrance and exit out of a common phone, 25 seconds by a large mirror, and almost instantaneous with a body of water with 3 to 5 seconds.
Though there are exceptions to this, as the time will decrease when in a fight of flight situation. Instead of 5 seconds in a body of water, it may be instant. With de aging, it will reduce the time by half.
——
If a mirror is shattered when a beast is trying to leave the mirror realm, the mirror shards will contain the beast making it much harder for it escape from that mirror. And this can be manipulated, used in the advantage as a defense against a beast.
——
There are many visuals for a beast, as there are many warning signs. Such as,
A lack of five fingers in the mirror when you look into it. This can be shown by using the fire finger test. The beast is a great mimic of what you want to see in the mirror, but it is never perfect. They have flaws. And more than not, they will reflect you or what you desire but with 4 fingers or even 6. You will never have the correct amount of fingers when a beast is around.
when a beast is around, when traveling through the mirror, things will start to burn. If things start to burn, retreat from the mirror immediately. That means they know you are there. The body has adapted to fight these creatures off by making a defense mechanism against them. If you enter the realm and don't feel anything, you are good for the time being. But, if at any point, the cold mirror realm heats up if just a smidge, run.
The mirror realm already looks odd: like a distorted version of the realm that it's tied to. But when a beast is around, or even someone else, the realm will become more distorted. The stronger and more magic they carry, the stronger the distortion could become. Beasts no matter what will cause a distortion that will seemingly be so absurd that it can be easily noticed.
(This is what a mirror would look like if there is a beast behind it.) (I do not own this picture nor do I claim any ownership over it!)
——
If one is to bring someone into the mirror realm, there are specific rules that must be followed in order to achieve complete access.
1.) You must be holding hands with the person, or group you wish to travel. With a larger amount of people, it's best if you use a water source as it will grant the group and easier passage.
2.) they must all close their eyes but the mirror realm traveller, they must keep their eyes open so they don't lose anyone in the shift.
3.) when entering the portal. Do not let go, the entrance will be rough, a gravitational force trying to pull everyone away from each other. Do not allow this to happen. If you do, the spell will fail and they will be launched out of the portal they made.
4.) when leaving the mirror realm; you must follow the steps once more in the correct order. If you are to mess up the order, the beasts will sense you. And then who knows what would happen.
——
In the mirror realm, Mana is amplified. Because it was originally made from a spell, anyone who enters the mirror realm will gain a boost in power. Though, when the person exits the mirror realm, they will lose that power boost.
——
Emergency Procedures:
If a traveller is to be taken by a beast, there are procedures that can be initiated. These procedures will allow safe exit out of the mirror realm.
The person must run to the nearest mirror, and slam against the mirror . You must do it five times, and this will be acknowledged by the realm. The realm will respond, and kick them out. In the mirror realm. Mirrors can not be destroyed no matter how hard you try. So no matter how hard you hit a mirror, it can not crack or shatter.
——
What the beast does once it captures a victim:
If the beast catches you and you have the genetic modification, the beast will bring you to a spot in the mirror dimension that is hard to reach. The beast will then use them as food when they get hungry.
If they catch you and you do not have the modification, you will be kicked right of the mirror realm through the nearest water source in the mirror realm.
To escape a beast, you have to run. Run as fast as you can to a nearby mirror or reflective surface and hope that they don't catch up to you.
——
Entrances that are not visible to the naked eye
This is a tricky move, as there are no direct connections to the mirror realm if the object used is not reflective. if there is nothing around, then the molecules in the air is possible for a entryway. But you will have to use the modification to become the mist and force yourself through the water molecules in the air. This can be very risky as it can damage the person traveling.
damages that can occur when entering the realm is as follows.
-rashes
-burns
-frostbite
-headaches (though that's just a side effect)
The most that could be damaged is memory. If you are to enter by this way, you have the possibility of losing a newly made memory. It can be gained back over time but it can cause problems if the memory is important to the person.
The time varies to get the memory back. First you must exit the mirror realm. The effects last around the longest of 1 day to the lowest of 1 hour.
——
Lost Items:
Items can be lost during travelling, items such as necklaces, rings, wigs, and even clothes can be shredded during the manipulation between the worlds. The worst that can happen is that a person will be stripped of a shirt and or shirt and pants leaving them in underwear. This is a uncommon occurrence but it is possible.
So if a person loses an object, it will reappear back in the other realm once they leave the mirror realm. It will be in a proximity of 10 feet to 1 meter from the exit portal. Though if you can not find them, it may have been under an object or in something.
——
What happens to an object that is deaged and enters the mirror realm.
The mirror realm will keep the de aging effect as long as they are in the realm. If Miguel de ages someone and brings them into the realm, the realm will keep the power flowing into the de-Aged person. The power flow is what established a connection to the younger forms that are being brought forth.
Once they leave though, the shift will occur ten or so minutes after they fully reammerge from the other side. This effect will happen in any dimension if it has connections to the mirror realm.
——
Side effects to bringing multiple people into the mirror realm: (this is starting with Miguel or any traveller and the number correspond to how many people besides him are added)
1 extra person: A pain at the tips of his fingers, that would be similar to a pinch.
2 extra people: the pain will not increase at the fingertips, but a slight nose bleed may occur.
3 extra people: headaches will form around the frontal lobe area of the brain. This can vary from weak to serious depending on how many people are brought in. The More people after this point, the worse the headache.
4 extra people: The nosebleed possibility increases and the chances of losing someone and breaking the spell increases.
5 extra people: the beasts will notice your entering if you are not careful. 5 people entering the mirror realm at once has the possibility of creating a surge of energy. The energy is what minimizes the powers one has. But if any beasts are nearby, they can detect this.
6 extra people: Cramping in the lower legs of the traveller. The cramps may go away after a few seconds or last a good solid 1 - 2 minutes.
7 extra people: The spell will more than likely not succeed, but if it did, the traveller more so will be weakened to a state of losing consciousness. The timings between entering and editing consciousness very.
8 extra people: This is an impossibility for Miguel at the moment as he does not have enough control to get this many people in the mirror realm. When he is more experienced, he will be able to cross these many people over but. There is a catch. The beasts will defiantly know they are in the realm, they will not know where and the beasts will hunt them down.
Magical Items: A magical item can count as a talisman or ancient scroll.
1 Magical Item - 20 Magical Items: The more items being transferred at once can lead to headaches and hallucinations. If to many items are brought, the ones that can not make it to the mirror realm will exit the portal in the same fashion you put it in.
For example: if you were to throw a scroll into a mirror affected by a travelers power, the scroll will enter the mirror Alright, but if the traveller is unable to get it there the scroll will be shot out at the same energy you threw it in with.
——
To locate someone in the mirror realm (if they are in there):
There is a ritual you can follow to call forth people that are in the mirror realm.
Instructions:
) get near a body of water or reflective surface. Phones and devices can not be used here as there has to be clear visibility in order for the spell to work properly . Doing it on a device will cause the device to malfunction.
) Get a piece chalk, it can be any color but it needs to be chalk.
) draw a circle near the body of water a foot or so wide, if you are using a reflective surface such as a mirror draw it nearby. It has a range of 10 feet.
) if you have a mirror smaller than a foot put the mirror into the chalk circle.
) you must get a belonging that is of the person you are trying to search for. The magical essence in it will allow the spell to activate.
) you just then think about them, try to picture them. Use every feature that you can remember. The more you can remember about their Appearance and or personality the better.
) there is a chant that must be performed, a spell that will allow for the mirror realm to be temporarily opened. The spell is as follows, "Mirror Mirror, I see thee, bring the person I desire to see. reflectunt reflectunt reflectunt. I call upon (the name of the person.)." You must say the spell with the belief that it can happen, as the spell will not be strong enough if you do not believe.
If the ritual is complete, look in to the reflective surface closest to the circle (if it's water and or a mirror bigger than one foot.). If you are using a smaller mirror (less than the chalk circle) look into the mirror.
If you have done everything correctly, you will be able to summon the person of choice to your mirror or reflective surface or choice.
——
Can this genetic modification be given to others?
No. The modification is strongest with the main host. If any tampering with the host's dna has occurred in order to extrapolate the modification, the modification trait will become unusable.
The modification can be given temporarily to those the main host trust. This trust will allow the bond to form. The bond tends to last from 5 hours to 12 hours max.
All of the powers are given to those in the bond, but are weakened to a degree.
For example: If someone is given the bond, they can de age but only by a year. And they can enter and exit the mirror realm but can't bring anyone else with them.
——
to conclude:
The mirror realm, in a sense, has always been there. It's the reason why things have reflections. But, when the spell that was targeting Miguel's grandmother failed, the spell altered her dna, giving her the strand that allows one to enter this realm.
The mirror realm's occupants, the creatures and or "the beast" as Miguel calls them, have always sort of been there. Guarding it from those who enter.
Those who have the strand can use reflective materials as a way of entering and leaving the realm. Why? It's because it's a direct connection! You can use practically anything that is reflective, even if it's not very reflective it will still work. The less reflective it is, the more dangerous the journey there will be. Though the smaller the reflective surface is, the harder it is to reach the realm aswell.
