WHO IS DIANNI?

Born in 2102, Dianni (Dye•on•nee) Ravenhaul is a reddish-furred bobcat who grew up in the Northern part of Michigan. Only about 4'8 in height with pretty average strength, she has great mobility and awarness, as she is a bobcat. Bobcats are known for their vertical climbing and mobility after all... similar to a Lynx, but not to be mistaken for one. She isn't a rocket scientist or a genius, but she is JUST smart enough to have the right to rub it in your face. So when it comes to how she lives, she has a motto:"Live life to it's fullest and have fun... but just don't be fucking stupid about it."Meaning that she's the type to take you out on a mountain climb, to get you out of the house. But on the climb there are two paths: "Quick and dangerous" or "slow and safe." Since she's climbed this mountain before, she would be the one to joke and gaslight you into thinking you have to do the quick and dangerous route with her. Only because its actually "not that bad" as she would say.But after she convinces you, and you both take those first couple steps, she immediately turns around and tells you it was all a joke, and that she doesn't want you to get hurt. So you both take the slow and safe path. And its not because she can't handle the quick and dangerous path, because she absolutely can. She just knows YOU probably can't. And even if you do know how to traverse that dangerous path, she would STILL just look at you stupid and take the safe path. Because she knows that its just not worth it.Her main interests lie within filmography, photography, and a love of delving into people's brains, i.e. psychology. I think you saw that coming. She loves a lot of other things other than that, but I'm not gonna waste your time talking about it all.Of course though, she hates just as many things as she loves, and isn't one to keep her mouth shut about them, even if they're right in front of her. She isn't one to get sappy or philosophical, but sit with her long enough and you two just might get into a deep conversation...

BASICALLY...
This woman isn't an idiot.

She's not one to be fooled, and if you try it, it wont go well.If you think you're successfully fooling her, its actually that she's the one making you THINK you are. She's just leading you on to get your hopes up, so that she can squash them later. And if you HAVE successfully fooled her, enjoy it while it lasts, because in the end she will eventually realize. And when she does, she wont bite you back immediately or get into a furious rage, she'll just act normal around you. But while you are thinking nothing is wrong, she will be constantly plotting something for you that will be much worse than what you did to her. So if you don't hear from her for a while, stay indoors.All she wants is respect, and she can become one of those people you never want to let go. She can be your chillest friend, most hated-by-other-people friend, smartest friend, funniest friend, or just a friend who can take you out of your darkest times... Or she can be someone you feel like should absolutely be on a watchlist... and she is...But depending on how you treat her, Dianni Ravenhaul can be someone who would probably kill you, or kill anyone for you... And make them disappear... like MAGIC.

WHO WERE THE ravenHAULS?

Dianni obviously wasn't always the woman she is now. Her childhood was ordinary with an average school life, responsibilities, good times, bad times, etc etc etc. Her fur wasn't even the same color it is now...So what happened?As a child, she lived in the city with her mom and dad. She was the single child. But her parents, were masters of the mystic arts. Living and growing up in the city, you'd think that a witch and a warlock would be like two fishes out of water, especially in the 21st century! But if I never told you what they were, you'd be none the wiser.They both look like your average bobcats, and both had ordinary jobs in accounting and construction. They never argued, they were economically stable, and they were all very happy and content with themselves. They were perfectly average. They lived in your ordinary middle-class apartment complex too... At least to the naked eye...Because if you step inside their home, it looks just like a normal 3-bedroom dorm, and it is! But in actuality, it is a ruse. They use it and live in it, but only PART of the time. Because when they're alone, they cast a spell on a specific tall mirror in the guest bedroom and that mirror becomes a portal to their REAL home.Imagine a cabin in an endless forest where the temperature and weather is always perfect, the area is always quiet, the grass is always green, the sun and moon are stuck on opposite horizons casting an endless sunset and moonrise, the water is always clean, and not a single threat anywhere...
A mystical plane of existence, dubbed: "The Plateau"This is where Dianni was born, but its not where she was raised.She was raised in our reality, outside of that plane of existence. And she would be kept in the dark about The Plateau and what her parents were for the longest time. Of course there were some close calls, but she was always in the dark about her heritage, until she was 16 years old.When she turned 16 in 2118, her parents decided that it was finally time. Finally time to know where/who/what she came from, and what she is; A "Carrier". One of the 3 people in the world capable of casting any spell they wanted to learn in the 21st century... Those other two people being her father and her mother. Other people can NOT cast any spell that they learn, due to an event that happened with their family...Because here's the thing...EVERYONE on this Earth is born with at least ONE random spell to their name. With the only limitations to actually using it being that person's focus, knowledge of the spell, and physical prowess. But you only get ONE. (Think of it like that one japanese franchise I can't remember the name of). And inside everyone's heart is this invisible thing called "The Vat". This is where your spell(s) are located.The vat can only hold one spell, but if your full potential was "unlocked", that vat would be able to grow larger as you age, and hold more and more spells. The only people that can visibly see and unlock your Vat are TRUE Ravenhauls. Which when they do, you would not be limited, and can in fact learn/use MULTIPLE spells, only if a Ravenhaul trusts you.In the past, the entire Ravenhaul family was much larger and capable of using all kinds of magic in secret. Anyone was welcomed into the family as well. It didn't matter what last name you had or what your blood was, if you were in the family and proven your trust by promising to keep their secret, A TRUE Ravenhaul would be able to unlock your full magic potential. Done through a spell that can only be casted by them.A true Ravenhaul can be identified by an inherited scar/birthmark in the shape of a raven's footprint on their back, hence why they are usually called "Carriers". Carriers are born with their potentials already unlocked. If you have proven your trust, a carrier would unlock your's for you with a cheerful smile on their face. But just as easily as they give it, they also have the power to take it away...

and some did not like this hierarchy...

A certain locked-potential part of family attempted to betray them all, and expose their secrets in late 2042. This group attempted to write spells, their weaknesses, potion recipes, and everything about the Ravenhauls in a book, and publish it for the entire world to read. Exposing the Ravenhaul family, and allowing the entire world access to real magic.This group was financially unstable and had a history of not being trustworthy, hence why they were never gifted their full potential by a Carrier to begin with. But the Carriers naively kept them around, hoping they would change and become better... they did not. They grew jealous, impatient, and desperate for the fame and fortune that would come to publishing the book and proving magic was real. They spectated the family and took their time writing everything they could in the book...But the family knew, and couldn't let that happen. Giving the entire world access to magic would cause so many problems. They acted on the problem the second they found out. There was a fight in The Plateau, and some were killed on both sides. The sides to either preserve the book, or destroy it. There were people with unlocked and locked vats on both sides, some played dirty, some played smart...But only after a few days, it all ended with an agreement... or better yet a realization. The year was 2042...
The world was changing.Magic was becoming less and less needed by the Ravenhauls as technology advanced more and more. Technology was on it's way to MIMIC magic soon enough. And this technology could be accessed so easily... So what was the point?A deal was then made that the book would be preserved, but in exchange, every member of the family would willingly have their full potential taken away by the Carriers. The entire family decided they didn't need magic anymore. The Carriers would hold onto the book and remove the full potentials of everyone in the family, effectively somewhat erasing magic usage completely from the entire world! The spells people were born with could still be casted of course, even without their full potentials, but with the way technology was... there just wasn't any point.But if the rest of the family ever needed to remember a spell or a potion recipe for an emergency, the book would always be available to them. Only thing is that they would need a Carrier's permisson, as they were to be entrusted with the book.The Carriers re-edited the book, and used magic in order to mangle the text into incomprehensible gibberish. The text can only be read after casting a spell only the Carriers knew. It now behaves as a sort of glossary. It will be there for if any point someone needs it, and for any future young Ravenhauls looking to expand their magic usage...Young Ravenhauls like 16-year-old Dianni... Who after being taught this whole history of her family, accepted the responsibility of currently being one of the only three to carry the scar. She promised to never tell a soul and only use her powers wisely. And she upheld that promise... She followed their instructions and made sure nobody ever found out. Her parents would say that she was a good girl...was...

What did she do?

Before I explain, I must tell you that all she has ever told me is that she wasn't controlled, wasn't tricked, wasn't blinded by rage, it wasn't an accident, it wasn't because they were secretly bad people, and not because they requested it. All she has ever said is that she killed them, and never looked back... and the worst part is that I can tell she is telling the truth.This is HER own description of what happened, and it is a LONG story.It all happened on her 20th birthday, in 2122. Leading up to this birthday, her parents realized that her body was maturing more, and the capacity for spell-casting was reaching an anticipated point. As mentioned before, everyone is born with at least ONE random spell in their vat. But if the vat is unlocked, you can gradually learn more and more as the Vat grows and as you age. So since Dianni is a Carrier, her vat was already unlocked, meaning that when she was born, she had only one. But by the time she learned about it at age 16, he vat was already big enough to hold 8 spells total! So on this 16th birthday, she was allowed to learn 3 more to her name.Her first spell (the one she was born with) was a levitation/anti-gravity spell. The second one (which she herself chose to unlock) was a simple fireball spell. The third one was a healing spell to heal other people (in the case she accidentally hurt someone with the fireball). The fourth was a strength spell.Every 2 years she grew, her vat would grow enough to hold one more. But every single year her parents allowed her to learn one more spell. So by the time she was 20, she already was using 8 spells total, out of her capacity for 10.But how does one apply these spells to their bodies like this anyway?In The Plateau, in the backyard of the cabin, lies some ruins. A circle surrounded by stone monuments. These ruins are the thing that gives the Ravenhaul's the ability to apply specific spells to someone's body, through a ritual of sorts. In the center of the ruins is a platform, and beside it, a pedestal where the family book lies. Listing all the kinds of spells and recipes for potions.So when Dianni went up to it on her 20th birthday, to learn and apply her 9th spell... she had told her parents she wanted a specific one which she had her eyes on since she was 18... The spell was called:

"ENCAPSULATION AND DISINTEGRATION"

_{"Gain the ability to encapsulate the body, or parts of the body, in a flame that does not produce heat, extinguish, or spread. The flame can disintegrate ANYTHING that comes in contact with it, except for the body of the caster themself. Said caster can control the movement and properties of this flame at their whim, from a distance, or nearby. This spell does not require the caster to use it's casting phrase, as applying the spell once, links the flame to their mind and vat, PERMANENTLY. Attatching it to the caster.}WARNING: Casting this spell accepts the absolute FORFEIT of every spell the caster knows/will know. It will LOCK itself around the caster's vat, erasing any other spell and preventing any others from getting inside.USER WILL BE BINDED TO THIS SPELL FOR LIFE.
Still allows magic properties of potions.
USE AT OWN COST."This spell was the one she wanted.
Dianni was a very responsible child, her parents trusted her with so much, and she earned that trust. So when Dianni said she wanted that spell, of course her parents were hesitant at first... They discussed for so long inside the cabin. Dianni couldn't listen in on them. But when they came out, they both said "Alright..."Although it sounds like the spell is a HUGE hinderance, it still allows use of specific spells. Like the one to unlock someone's full potential, the one to open the portal to The Plateau, or the spell to translate the book. It wasn't ALL bad. Plus, her parents were warned about this spell before, and knew of the past times where it was used for bad AND good. So to them, the things you gain from it make up for the losses. The spell makes the perfect defense and the most DEADLY offense. Plus she can always use potions, so... its no big deal. And so they allowed her to cast the spell, and attach it to her vat.All the spells she has known, and all the spells she COULD'VE known... GONE. Uncastable. Locked away forever as soon as she finished saying the words. She stepped away from the ruins, and immediately conjured up a warm-purple colored flame on her hand. It was as easy to create as controlling a pencil to write her own name. She played around with it, twirled it around her body, and decided to test it on a tree...She stood close to the tree and raised her right hand to her face. Covering her entire arm in the flame, she balled up a fist, and slowly inserted it into the tree trunk, and pulled it back out. It created a nearly perfect circle-shaped hole RIGHT THROUGH. And she didn't feel any "push-back" what-so-ever. It felt just like cutting air with a knife. She was giddy, and her parents watched with relieved smiles on their faces like a family on Christmas day. Happy that their daughter is happy with their gift.She kept testing it and having fun for a while, until they realized it was getting a little late. She would need to wake up early in order to get to college class and have some energy for her fast-food job tomorrow. So they all sat down in the cabin to have one last talk. She stored some leftover cake for later, and her parents gave her some potions for the road. They all came together for a group hug to say their goodbyes, and while hugging...Dianni whispered, "Thank you" with a smile into both their ears and...

That's when it happened.

She covered her entire body in the flames that she was just using. Immediately phasing through their bodies, and her own clothes. Her arms closing in on herself, almost as if their bodies turned into ghosts − like she was never hugging anything at all. But she was. They couldn't even let out a scream or a single sound in time. As their faces were stuck with shocked expressions, their bodies cut diagonally from their shoulders to the side of their chest, they fell over and bled on the perfect grass of The Plateau...Dianni looked at the bodies unamusedly, and sighed.With The Plateau only being accessible to Dianni and her parents, nobody would be able to see their dead corpses. But still, she took the time to completely erase any blood or trace of them from her own body, and from existence, using her flame. Taking the leftover cake, she walked out of The Plateau, closed the portal behind her, and searched her old room to find some new clothes to wear. She eventually found some that she left behind when she moved out to go to college...Then she left like nothing even happened.From 20-years-old, all the way to 24, from 2122 to 2126, The Ravenhauls would stay a missing persons case for the whole 4 years... Until it would slow down, and eventually be somewhat forgotten. There was no trace, no explanation, and no proof...The only things people say is:
"Dianni had a birthday party with her friends and family in the middle of the day at a bowling alley. After the party ended, she took a car ride with her parents back to their apartment, for personal family time. She left the home sometime around 9pm. 5 days passed until someone called in a search, and sometime between THAT night and the 5 days, her parents allegedly disappeared without a trace."Of course Dianni was the FIRST person they went to and suspected... But she claims that YES, they all did drive to their home, and they talked, and they celebrated her age, and then she left at 9pm... But she says she doesn't know what happened to them afterwards, and that she didn't call in the case herself because she normally doesn't call her parents or check in on them frequently. She has a job and school-work to balance, so she had no idea! It was just pure coincidence that this happened after she left.A seemingly TERRIBLE cover-up by her... but they couldn't disprove it.They explored the apartment and the entire city for ANYTHING... they came up with nothing. They examined Dianni's body completely for any trace of blood or crime. Fingerprints, UV lights, using state of the art A.I. to solve the case... nothing. They couldn't put the blame on Dianni, because they didn't have anything to CONFIDENTLY flag her as the suspect... It was like all the proof MAGICALLY disappeared... It was the perfect cover-up...Until in 2133 where it wouldn't be anymore...

HOW DID SHE MEET ARKHIZE?

All it took was a rogue archeologist uncovering a book in an abandoned dig site, left by a company that disbanded years ago. The book was 80% blank, and was found inside an underground chest in the forest of North Dakota. The book appeared unfinished, littered with all kinds of weird languages and symbols, with pieces of English scattered around... Even though it was 2133, it was baffling how things were STILL being discovered underground...The book was sent in by the archeologist, to be researched and translated through all the different languages in a database. To which none could translate the symbols and images. The English that was scattered around the mass amounts of symbols talked about "vats", "potential", "spells", "revenge", and the word "Ravenhaul" was everywhere... They had guesses on what the other words meant, but after putting "Ravenhaul" into the system, tons of things showed up. A video game, a youtube channel, many more. But in the database, there were names of people throughout history who showed up as well... with only one of those people with that name still being alive...And it only took a week for it to all come crashing down on the 32-year-old bobcat. Secret service came knocking on her door...Dianni was flown out to Minnesota against her will. Once there, she was taken to a securely protected laboratory in a sprawling city. She was escorted by 3 police officers, uncuffed. Even though her missing person's case had no leads for nearly 10 years, the police following her showed that it was never removed from her record or that she was "off the hook".Inside the blinding white lab, contrasting the night sky, scientists and more police officers surrounded the book. She was asked if she knew anything about it. She told them that she did not. And she was in fact telling the truth, because her parents never told her there was a SECOND BOOK! She's ever only known of the one in The Plateau. This one must've been a copy made by THAT other part of the family...Still though, they opened the book in front of her, and asked if she knew about what was being said in it... again, she told them no. Lying this time.They pointed to a section of the book with the name of a simple spell, where it also explained how to cast it in full English. She was asked if she was able to try it. She immediately said sure, and did everything the book said... and nothing happened. Everyone looked at each other disappointed and confused... Thanks to "Encapsulation and Disintegration", she couldn't even perform the spell if she wanted to anyway, but they didn't know. Behind her neutral expression, she was relieved. But they didn't give up...They pointed to another spell, and another, and another, and another until they were almost all out. Most of the people in the room grew tired and frustrated. Some already left. While Dianni sat in a chair continuing to ask when she could leave. They were close to letting her go... Until they got to one more spell that talked about being able to turn a mirror into a portal that leads to a place called "The Plateau"...Dianni's heart sunk.They asked her to perform the spell. Just one more spell and she could go. But she knew it was one of the VERY FEW spells she was still capable of casting even with Encapsulation and Disintegration... She got anxious that the chances of fate would cause this to happen RIGHT NOW, as she was so close to being off the hook. She stood up from her chair while everyone waited... The other few times she casted a spell, it felt like nobody was looking, but now the silence in the air hung heavier than usual. She tried to think of a way out of the situation, but some people − wanting to go home already − told her to just do it, expecting nothing to happen. She frantically looked around the room one last time to see if there were any mirrors at all. She saw none... So she did the spell.There was silence... the room grew quiet, and the longer the quiet went on, the more relaxed Dianni became... Until there was a muffled sound of a river flowing...Everyone investigated it, trying to find where it was coming from. Dianni stood frozen in the middle of the laboratory, silently panicing next to the book and the 3 police officers she came with. It wasn't anyone's phone. It wasn't from outside. Not from a TV inside the laboratory. They followed the sound into the multi-sex bathroom... opened the door... and there it was. The mirror above the sink showed a beautiful cabin in the woods next to a river like a TV screen. Everyone was shocked.They reached their hands through, and then their heads, then their bodies. And eventually, everyone that was once in the laboratory, now walked around on the breathtaking grass, completely awestruck. While Dianni continued to be followed by the officers, now with her hands forced behind her back, head held low.The scientists explored the cabin, looking at the picture frames of a bobcat family. A man, woman, and young girl who looked like Dianni. One of the scientists exploring the ruins walked up to the pedestal, and picked up a book. She opened it to see it was completely full of the same symbols and gibberish that the other book had, but this time not a single piece of English. It was also completely full. No blank pages at all.Holding the book, she turned back to Dianni and held it in front of her with both hands... Now that they ALL knew she had a part within this, they stared as the woman told her: "Decipher it." With her head held low, she said that she couldn't. The woman asked again, "At least TRY to..." and Dianni said no. The scientist nodded to the police officer behind Dianni, as he walked over to her left.He told her: "Listen girl, I do not know if you can decipher this or not, and frankly I do not care. But the truth is that whether you do or not, this discovery about you and your family still means tons of things for your dropped case. So either way, you will be re-investigated when this is over. So do... or don't. Either way, you will be staying here. You will go nowhere else..."Side-eying him, Dianni whispered, "...Fine... I'll unlock it..." under her breath... The officer nodded to the other to release her hands carefully. She slowly and shakingly raised her right arm straight up as far as she could in the air... Everyone stared wondering what magical thing she was doing... and then...

SHE SLICED THE BOOK, AND SCIENTIST IN HALF.

Instantly covering her arm in the flames, she slammed it straight down the middle of the scientist holding the book in front of her. Before the police could even open fire or tase her, she covered the rest of her body in the flame as well, except the soles of her paws, so that she could run straight to the portal. Anyone in her way, any bullet fired at her, anything that could stop her... disintegrated.When she left out of the mirror, she yelled the spell to try and close it back... and it didn't work. It wouldn't close... She was confused. Would it not close because there are people still inside? Is it automated? Is that why her parents always left it open when stepping inside? No time.She ran through walls, phasing through them completely. Once she made it outside and on the streets of the city, she heard alarms and sirens blaring. Automated drones and hovercrafts flew above her with spotlights and scanners, dodging between skyscrapers. Automated machines, humans, and anthropomorphic animals, all scattered around the laboratory holding weapons. She made a break for it to a dark alleyway, thinking of where to go breathing heavily...She had an idea. She used her flame again to cover her entire body, but this time also including her feet. This made it so that she would carve deep into the ground. The gravity of the Earth pulled her, and her flame made it so that the Earth couldn't STOP her. When she decided she was deep enough, she stopped the erasure. Then chose a random direction to go, and she walked...Underground, there was no light except for her's. It was all dirt and rocks, but thanks to the flame, it felt like they weren't even there. It was like walking regularly, with no push-back. But after around an hour of walking and digging, she realized her body was changing... Her fur had gotten redder, and her paw pads had became the same warm-purple as her flame. Over-usage of the flames must have consequences unlisted in the book...She decided it was possibly time to resurface, and when she did, she found herself at the edge of a forest. She looked around to see where her city was. She saw it far in the distance... and knowing they were hunting for her now, she went into the forest. Inside this forest, she'd walk and walk, conserving energy, without direction. She didn't know where to go, but the night fog of the forest surely would reveal a location at some point...And it did. Because she'd eventually stop when she saw a glowing blue light behind a tree. Her immediate thought was to run, as it could be a flashlight from a search party looking for her. But it was just one weak little glow, so it should be fine... Walking around it, she'd see a strange looking artifact laying against this tree, with the label "K.R. #4" on it.She believed she knew where she was. She's heard of this before... But before she could think any further, she felt a paw on her shoulder. And instinctively out of adrenaline, she immediately went for the heart of whoever it was... literally.Covering her hand in the flame, without looking at the face of the person, she plunged her hand into the body... and she felt it grab something inside. When she pulled it out, a black sphere with cyan dots glowed and hummed in her hand... She looked up and saw a gray-furred bear with cyan eyes, wearing a black leather coat, holding a brown jacket in it's hand.It was an Ark... the species she'd seen in the news and in history texts sometimes... and she just ripped out the core of one.The Ark stood in shock for a while... until it fell over and dissipated into a cyan mist. Dianni knew what an Ark was and how one operated, but she's never actually met one before. It was holding a wooly brown jacket, most likely for her to wear, as the flames from her earlier escape erased all her clothing. It was trying to help...She took the jacket from the ground and while holding the core in her still flaming hand, it began to glow and attempt to respawn the Ark. The K.R. pod right next to her began to open it's doors and attempt to let in the core...But she looked at the core again in her flaming hand... It was not disintegrated by her flame. It was immune.She knew an Ark's core needed to suck up the remains of it's respective Ark, in order for it to respawn... and it was trying, but not succeeding. Her flaming hand was able to effectively block the core and keep it encapsulated in her flame, preventing it from doing the rest of it's respawn. And since she can control the flame remotely, she did not even need to hold it... she had the ability to basically keep it in "statis". No mater what the core tried to make it's atoms do, it could not break or extinguish her flame. It was trapped.Sitting on a log next to the core and the pod, she thought to herself... She knows that these Arks are very isolated and unversed in the happenings of the world around them, so they probably would have no idea she's a wanted murderer... she could use that to her advantage... And its clear that they are very helpful, by one giving her a jacket...She looked at the core as it flew around, still covered in her flame. It ran into things, trying to turn atoms into water, fire, plasma, etc... She took a deep sigh and released the core from her flames. It sucked up the atoms of the dead ark, and flew into the pod... This choice was her declaration that her old life was over.Dianni sat waiting there for almost an hour... until the pod opened back up. Dianni stood up from her log and saw it shoot out the same Ark she just killed, but without his coat. Landing at her feet, he slowly stood up and brushed himself off. He almost towered above her, having just above another foot to her 4'8... They looked in each other's eyes... His glowing cyan eyes had no pupils, no iris, no anything... it was empty, but she could still tell they were filled with innocence and kindness... and interest."I'm... I'm sorry I did that to you." She said.
"Oh no no, its alright. I startled you I guess... But... Are you okay? Do you... need any help with anything...?"
"...No... and yes. Yes please I would like some..."
