In an alternate present, electricity was never fully cultivated, as another, far more powerful, type of power became common knowledge around the same time, that of Ether, previously known as 'Magic'.Those capable of gathering this power are known officially as 'Ether-Weavers', or 'Etherial Conduits', and unofficially as 'Mages'. As it is the cornerstone of modern warfare, economy, and power production, these people are in the highest of demand, and of course in need of proper guidance by the best of their craft.The countries that have been declared neutral are tasked with gathering and training these valuable assets for the warring states of the world... whether they like it or not.…

You probably wouldn't understand just how difficult it is to be a next Don of a Family of Demon Hunters, and to have a 'normal' life as well, because you've obviously never met someone from that situation before.... Right?---The country of Selene has long been a sanctuary for all those who flee the savage lands of the outer continents, and inside the walls, around the border, law, order, and protection are in the hands of a select few individuals that have the wit, luck, or pure skill required to defeat the Adversary.These individuals, and their 'Families', are known as 'The Vanguard'. Most people in the main cities and farmlands have never even met a member of the Vanguard... or so they think. In fact, all the children and elderly of the Vanguard Families live in compounds in the Cities, and are known as the Rearguard, stationed to protect against any threats that slip past the front lines, and train for the days when they move to the front, and join the Vanguard.…

Necromancy. A forbidden art since the beginning of 3,000 years of civilized, organized Mage-Craft. The art of animating dead bodies, summoning demons and Familiars far more powerful than any other type of Mage, time manipulation, soul-forging, and also, the most damning of their abilities, the creation of Plagues and the Undead.Between the years B.C. 1100 - 1850 A.D., all Necromancers were hunted down and exterminated in a horrible, chillingly efficient genocide, which continued for two of the three millennia it had existed, until all of its Heirs were dead; as such, 'Dead-Kings' ceased to exist in the modern world.At least, that's what the Council would have you think...…

My world is a bit crazy.First: I'm a witch, and a very good one, if I do say so myself. And not the 'ooga booga booga gimme your money' or 'my pretty', an actual witch. I make Spells for other witches that they aren't powerful enough to cast, much less put to task, as my family has for centuries.Second: my shop is located in New York, which makes business hard, to say the least.And finally, Third: I don't have a mate, and I'm 30 years old. Hence, my daily life is a bit hectic, as everyone without a mate wants me to be theirs.Crazy, like I said. I'm not really Monogamous Mate material, which is probably why I don't have one. Also because I'm a bit of a Bitch, too. yay me.…
