I do too...what if we do like a hellions team? Like an evil squad hand picked by the sisterhood? And maybe ran by Helena? Or Helena and Kelly seeing as how I'm a narcissist lol
My Vote is for European Hellfire. That would give us a chance to set a different tone, plus we don't have to worry about any overlap with the six storylines, current or alternate.
Brandon you can still use Helena or Kelly, have them out to consult or be on vacation or whatever

European Hellfire Club is good...I likey!
I already have a character brewing.

I also like this idea because we can kind of just focus on the internal drama in the courts with no big bad really lol. I was thinking of having my character invite Kelly because he suspects one of you bitches is betraying the hellfire club and she is gonna try and sniff it out.
Do we want our characters to be the court? Like the kings and queens and such?

I actually think it would be interesting if we were the prince and princesses that are next in line to rule the European Hellfire club [since all the kings/queens seem to be on the older side]
But I would be happy with doing kings/queens if you guys want to do that.
We could just say our characters are badass and rule young. :haha:

Well my character was set up as the French White Queen, but that can be reworked easily lol.
I like Sam's idea, having us be the next in line, or perhaps jostling to be in the right position, like its an internal struggle or maybe even a coup! Like our characters are aligning to overthrow the current inner court.....

Woot woot, let's do it!
P.s., testing this alternate account to see if it's still set up lol.
Who wants to take the lead on this?

Okay...Here's my idea to get a little more concise kind of feeling for us? Lemme know what you think lol..
The European Hellfire Club Headquarters are based out of London. The Courts are the same as the US Hellfire Club, but the UK version has less ties to it's stateside counterparts.
Within the Hellfire Club, The Black Queen has been murdered two weeks ago. There are countless suspects as The Black Queen was a power hungry sociopath. The Black Court was also known for being the most powerful of the courts with countless members itching to get a spot in the Inner Circle. With The Black Queen dead, it is up to the courts to crown a new queen, and EVERYBODY has an opinion and an agenda they would like to see.
The Coronation of The Black Queen will happen in a few weeks time at The Hellfire Ball, an extravagant black tie gala.
This way we can have our characters be bitches to each other and fight about who should get that spot, with one character being a front runner, one character desperate to do anything to get it and the other characters all bringing their own ideas of who should run the Black Court..
I think this could set the stage for secret romances, deals, murder plots and all that good fun, and it leaves it pretty open lol...when we are all ready to move onto the next part we can.
We can start it with maybe like a wake for The Black Queen? In The UK Hellfire Club Headquarters? Everyone gathers together at the club to say "goodbye" to The Black Queen and go from there?
Just my thoughts lol...
We can post bios here too.
I kind of like the idea of these guys being in the mainstream timeline, we can throw nods to The Six and MysTech and make fun of the Parthenon being built in Paris, etc. lol.

Wait, so i'm a little confused with your idea. Are you saying that all of our characters will be in the black court and we're all aiming to try to be the new Black King/Queen? Or are our characters all from different colored courts but still trying to get the Black King/Queen spot? Is that allowed? lol
I just want to get the plot down so I can kind of mirror my bio for it.

I think we can all be from different colored courts if we want...I was planning for mine to be in the Black Court anyway...I don't think it will matter for our purposes..
I mean a ruling spot in the court is open, I'm sure there would be people in different courts that would want the spot...maybe they hate the court they are in, maybe they want more power, more control, maybe they want to take down another court and can do so by getting that kind of power?

plus somebody switching courts altogether would be pretty dramatic and fun to play lol
I don't know, it seems a little confusing.
I do like the idea of the black queen being murdered and now there's a spot available for someone new to rule. But I think it would be a fun idea if all our character's are trying to kill their respective colored court's queens as well. Whoever killed the black queen already succeeded which is causing a huge stir in the Hellfire Club because no one knows who did it and now the two other queens are nervous that they will be next.
Our character's could be trying to help each other secretly, but in the public eye put on a front that they hate each other as to not cause attention. And eventually all 3 queens are killed and their predecessors are named, which would obviously cause huge drama since there are 6 of us and only 3 spots lol. So it's like they all work together in the beginning, but once all the queens are murdered, it's every man/woman for themselves lol.
It's just an idea though.

I like that. Our group attempting to take over the entire club lol!
Yeah, I like where this is going.
The death of one queen and the turmoil it created would be an excellent opportunity for other underlings (like ourselves will be) to overthrow their own leaders.
I'll have my character in the White court, plotting to kill her queen (and her queen's loyal subjects) and take control of her court. She can either support or sabotage the black court members in the running for the open position.

Name: Archer Fairchild
Occupation: King Pin of The Fairchild Family
Codename: Avalanche
Hellfire Club: Black Rook
Age: 28
Height: 6"3'
Weight: 190lbs.
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Deep Grey
AI: Noah Mills
Appearance: Archer has a look that screams danger and sex appeal. Standing at 6"3' he is an intimidating man with tall dark and handsome features. His raven black hair is usually styled to perfection while still looking as if he just got out of bed, and his grey, penetrating eyes often have said to resemble that of a shark. Usually in some kind of suit or nothing at all, Archer is clearly a man who cares how he looks, a lasting testament to the stylish and powerful legacy his adopted father left behind. Everything Archer wears, eats and drinks screams money, and it's clear that there are not many who can afford to look as devestatingly handsome as Archer Fairchild does.
Personality: Archer is a fiercely loyal and vicious narcissist with a penchant for self destruction and excess. He is a man who has the faintest hint of a moral code and a bloodthirsty need for revenge. Most would consider him a sociopath and Archer wouldn't disagree. He has no boundaries and there is nothing he will not say or do, for any number of reasons. He is incredibly hard to get close to emotionally and he prefers to keep most of his relationships purely physical. Still, there are a select few who have managed to penetrate his walls. An opportunist and a man who lives his life with the constant threat of being killed for who he is and what he does, Archer is a master political powerhouse when it comes to social situations. He knows the right people to ask for the right things at the right times, and his capability to be underhanded is almost genius.
History: Archer was born in the East End of London, a place ripe with crime and depravity. With a useless mother and a completely absent father, Archer spent much of his time on the streets, robbing the locals, swindling the tourists and running wild through the streets. Eventually, he just stopped going home altogether, something his own mother would fail to notice. As he grew into his teen years, he was uneducated, dirty and violent...still he was not without his talents.
He was known for sleights of hands and his ability to get in and out of places without being seen, for all the polish he lacked in life, he more than made up for with brute force and street smarts. One night, in a drunken stupor, a barely thirteen year old Archer was walking down a dark alley when he stumbled upon something that would change his life forever. Somebody, was getting the living crap beat out of them several yards ahead. As Archer inched closer, curious at what he was seeing, he noticed two rather large and hulking men pummeling a bloodied and bruised local barkeep. After listening for a few moments, it had become clear that this barkeep owed money to The Fairchild Family, one of London's most NOTORIOUS crime families. They were drug dealers, money launderers, murderers and had a reputation that struck fear throughout the city. The Police Force had been after members of this gang for years, but the influence of The Fairchild family was far reaching, and it wasn't uncommon for anybody willing to give up information about the family to wind up at the bottom of the River Thames.
Somewhat in awe of seeing something that not many people live to tell about, Archer tried to get closer, while drunkenly stumbling over a trash can, causing a loud crash that caused the alley to go silent for a few seconds, before the two men beating the barkeep threw their victim into a wall and charged forward in a dead HEAT towards Archer. Instinctively, Archer ran as fast as he could in the other direction, full of adrenaline, his body becoming eerily cold as he went, his breath being visible in the air. Soon, the cold became too much as he dropped to his knees in a desperate attempt to catch his breath. As soon as his knees hit the ground, he was lifted up by the collar of his shirt into the air. Captured. Archer's eyes widened, confused at what was happening to him. Just as one of the men was about to unleash a powerful punch right to Archer's stomach, he screamed out and closed his eyes as he had never felt colder in his life. He waited for the fist, waited to be beat, but nothing happened, he felt nothing but the cold, his tears freezing to the side of his face...Still nothing. He opened his eyes slowly, scared of the horror that might be facing him. The two once aggressive and full of life men had been frozen solid. Completely solid, their faces contorted in horror. Archer had unknowingly manifested his mutant ice elemental abilities for the first time. He writhed free from the grasp of the frozen man who still clung tight to his t-shirt. As he got to his feet, he surveyed them men for a moment, amazed at what he had done and scared from what had happened. Letting the anger well up inside of him, Archer threw himself into one of the men, knocking the frozen statue into the brick wall behind him, shattering completely. Then he did the same thing with other man. As Archer looked at the shards of ice that covered the floor of the alley, Archer felt incredibly calm. This would be the first sign in a long road of signs that would indicate Archer was somewhat of a sociopath. As Archer walked down the rest of the alley, attempting to find a warm place to sleep, he was blocked from the street by an incredibly large black stretch limo. The man inside had seen what Archer had done. That man was Michael Fairchild, king pin of The Fairchild Family and he had just found his new golden child.
Intercepting Archer that night, Michael took him to his back his palatial mansion in the countryside. Archer had never seen a place so beautiful and intoxicating. It didn't take much for Michael to convince Archer to work for him. Exchanging room and board for Archer's "unique" abilities. As time went on Michael began to look at Archer much like a son, having no children of his own, and Archer looked up to and idolized Michael for everything he had given him. Archer was completely loyal, the perfect weapon against ANYBODY who tried to mess with the family and he began to be known for the depraved ways in which he dispatched enemies of the family. By the time that Archer was 24 he had legally been adopted by Michael and the two ran the city, amassing quite the fortune as they went, sparking somewhat of a war between the crime families in London, specifically The Thorne Family who was making it clear that they were planning on entrenching on Fairchild territory.
The feud between the once peaceful families reached an all time high when Edward Thorne, boss of The Thorne Family put a hit on Michael...and were successful. He was shot on the front steps of his own home while Archer in the city on family business. When word got to Archer that Michael had been killed, to say he lost it would be an understatement. He wasted no time in exacting revenge as he tracked down the family home of Edward Thorne and murdered his wife and four children in front of Edward as he sat trapped in a block of ice. Archer set the ice at a temperature that would begin to freeze Edward slowly and painfully over time, allowing him to die while watching the bodies of his family decay. Once Edward was dead, Archer thought he would feel better, but he didn't. He felt nothing, and from that moment on, he decided that he liked that.
Eventually, Archer took the helm of The Fairchild Family, who's reputation had gotten a BRUTAL and TERRIFYING boost. Other gangs in the city were scared of The Fairchilds, and made sure to keep their distance and watch their backs, not wanting to meet the same fate that Edward Thorne did. By his late 20's, Archer had emassed a wealth that very few in the world would know and an influence that had reached not just every corner of London, but the world. The Fairchild Family was no longer just a London Based Crime Family, they were now a full fledged global operation, with their hands in everything from the blood diamond trade, to black ops weapons, drugs, organs and everything else Black Market. They became an entity.
Archer had maintained membership with The European Hellfire Club since he was a legal adult, thanks to his adopted father, and a few years ago, he was extended membership into the Inner Circle of The Hellfire Club as The Black Court's Rook. An influential member of The Inner Circle, Archer is now based in London, still at The Fairchild Estate, while maintaining residence at The Club Headquarters in the city. While he normally is a man constantly on the go if only because there are many that want him dead, he decided to stick around London for awhile once he was given word that The Black Queen had been murdered. He is worried that there are members of The Hellfire Club looking to shift the balance of power between the courts, and of course with The Black Queen out of the way, he can't help but wonder if he might be the best and only fit to be her replacement as the court's Black King. There are others within the club who worry that he may have something to do with The Black Queen's murder, that he may be planning something himself...and who knows...they might be right.
Powers: Archer is an ice elemental with the power to instantly decrease the temperature of ambient water vapor in his immediate environment to below zero degrees celsius, thereby freezing it into ice. He is able to make ice that will not break unless he wills it to. In this manner he is able to quickly form a great variety of ice structures, including projectiles, shields, ladders, baseball bats, etc. He is also able to form exceedingly complicated structures within relative short time. Archer is immune to sub-zero temperatures; he is also able to perceive the thermal energy level of objects around him. Because cold is the absence of heat, he does not actually 'emanate' cold; rather, he decreases thermal energy. Upon training in the use of his powers, he is able to fashion an armor of solid ice around his body when using his powers, which afford him some degree of protection against concussive force and projectiles. Archer has the ability to convert the tissue of his body into organic ice. He sometimes augments his organic ice form with razor sharp adornments to his shoulders, elbows, knees, and fists. Archer has is also able to move rapidly to another distant location while in his organic ice form, being able to deposit his bodily mass into a river and reconstitute his entire mass a great distance away in a matter of minutes (by temporarily merging his molecules with those of the river). Archer is also able to reconstitute his organic ice form if any part of it is damaged, or even if it is completely shattered, without permanently harming himself. He can temporarily add the mass of a body of water to his own, increasing his mass, size, and strength. He can survive not only as ice, but as liquid water and water vapor. He can also transform his body from a gaseous state back to a solid, although it is physically and mentally taxing. Archer can also freeze sea water. While he usually does not use his powers in lethal ways his powers are so vast that it extends to the molecular level, to the point that he can freeze all of the molecules of an object/being with a thought.

Nice bio! I'm trying to post mine, but it says I can't include url links until I reach 15 posts lol
Edited to add: I'm going to post it without the links, so y'all can at least see the revised edition.
The Duchess
Real Name: Juliette De Lacroix
Age: 240 [eternally 19]
Occupation: European Hellfire's White Princess
Place of Residence: Paris, France
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 105
Eye Color: shades of brown
Hair Color: Dark Brown
Actor Image: Natalie Portman
Appearance: Slightly below average stature and a tiny frame made her a graceful ballerina, now her size makes her seem unassuming and unthreatening, which she uses to her advantage when hunting. With very dark hair and chocolate eyes, she is an enchanting beauty who lures men almost without effort. Most do not notice that her eye color has an ever changing spectrum, the more sated her thirst, the lighter her eye color, the closer she is to starvation, her eyes become a deep brown or even black... but most of the time, she does not delay her thirst and so, her eyes stay mostly in the lighter shades; during and for a short time after feeding, they are close to gold.
Personality: Noble and poised, she is polite but quite aloof and among 'friends' she is cordial and a bit more relaxed. She does not succumb to extremely strong emotions because her turbulent early life sapped her of much of her passion, so she often seems to have a rather flat personality, but still waters run deep and under the surface of her dignified aristocracy lies a complex being. She IS French, inside and out and within seconds of meeting her it is quite apparent; she doesn't bother herself with speaking very much to outsiders, but when she does speak it is with a thick french accent and her english vocabulary, while extensive because of how long she has been speaking it, is often intermixed with french terms and phrases freely.
History: Born into a Catholic Noble Family in 1770 France, Juliette was the youngest child of the Duke and Duchess De Lacroix. As the baby of the family and their only daughter, she was cherished and doted upon throughout her childhood. She was classically educated and after taking an early interest in Ballet, became a prodigy of dance. She was well regarded by her peers and by society, and there seemed to always be yet another Prince trying to court her, most notably King Louis' younger brother, Louis-Antoine, Duke of Angouleme, and while she entertained the courtship at the behest of her parents and advisers, her true passion was dance. At the age of nineteen she won the lead in La Fille Mal Gardee [The Wayward Daughter], a ballet that was being developed and garnering intense interest among the King's Court and all of France. It was opening night of the play that proved to be ultimately life changing for Juliette; at this performance she attracted the attention of Maximus, the notoriously reclusive Marquis de Ratonneau, the vampire who would eventually turn her. Maximus fell in love with the Ballerina on stage, he came to every subsequent performance, but he kept his distance because she was human and thus, intended to be his prey. But eventually the self-imposed distance, the loneliness drove Maximus mad and his love for Juliette turned into an obsession. Maximus began to stalk her every night, from dusk 'til dawn, and eventually he saves her from some would-be attackers and squirrels her away to the fortress on his private island south of Marseille, ile de Ratonneau.
At first, upon awakening as a newborn vampire, Juliette is amused and intrigued by her new abilities, her new life, and Maximus teaches her the ways of Vampiric existence, all the while following the traditional conventions of courtship, but never revealing how truly obsessed he is. Juliette is young and naive at the time of her 'rebirth' and she falls into everything that Maximus sets her up for. She finds him attractive, charismatic, wise and powerful and believes she loves him; she does not even realize she is his captive and secretly they marry. However, all is not doomed to a faux happily ever after; Juliette soon realizes she can never go back to her family, and that they will all die soon, while she will never. Living by night at first seems adventurous and novel, but after a while the appeal fades and never again seeing the light of day or the sun on the faces of her loved ones leaves her forlorn. When she finally understands what Maximus took from her, she kills him in a fit of rage, unintentionally inheriting his wealth and property.
Juliette attempts to return to her family. She refuses to speak of the time she spent missing, where she was or what happened to her there, and does not tell them that she is now legally the Marquise de Ratonneau, nearly as wealthy in her own right as they are. Her family, which always regarded her as a delicate ballerina and catered to her every whim, now treats her as though she is made of glass and any disturbance will shatter her forever. She keeps mostly to herself and for a short while, they find a balance. Meanwhile, the French Revolution has set the country into a state of upheaval. The monarchy is overturned, and many of the Nobles lose their lives and their power. Her father, once a very trusted adviser to King Louis, was nearly exiled and deeply considered leaving on his own, but his sons were all highly esteemed members of the Royal Guard and refused to leave the King's side. Most believe this little hiccup will be resolved, but in shockingly rapid succession, all De Lacroix sons are killed in service of the overthrown, executed king and the Duke himself retreats to his castle near Bordeaux and falls into a pattern seclusion and despair. Juliette's mother, the Duchess, dies of cholera and when Juliette can no longer bear to see her father suffer a broken heart over his sons and wife, Juliette puts him out of his misery in what amounts to a very personally difficult mercy killing. After smothering her father, as the sole surviving heiress to the De Lacroix estate, she becomes the new Sovereign Duchess and between the combined inheritance from Maximus and her own family's considerable province, she is one of France's most wealthy patrons. When the wars subside and a republic is formed, many of the other noble families are stripped of their power and even some of their lands, but as a vampire Juliette is well equipped to defend her estate and anyone sent to question her sovereign becomes dinner. Subsequent reformations of monarchy alternately shift Juliette's political relevance from high to low, and she takes advantage of the social climate change whenever it pleases her, but by the people she is viewed as mostly aloof and very mysterious, almost to the point of being a mythical creature dubbed 'The Duchess'.
Over time she comes across other vampires, and maintains acquaintance with all of them, some more closely than others. One of these is Xavier, one of her fellow countrymen who goes to America when France stakes its claim on the territory of Louisiana. She visits him occasionally and enjoys catching up on his exploits in the New World; he likes hearing about happenings back home and they enjoy a long, platonic friendship. The Louisiana Purchase goes through, America begins to take shape, and Xavier expatriates but they keep in touch.
Time marches steadily on, and Juliette lives mostly in solitude, participating in Parisian night life when it suits her, or when her thirst dictates. She leads an empty existence for a long time. She travels extensively and becomes auto-didactic to pass the time. Monarchies come and go. Modern France arrives and Juliette keeps with the times, adapting as she must. The Twenty First century has no need for Nobility and while she is still referred to as 'the Duchess', the title no longer holds much meaning. She has maintained the level of power by moving with the times; her new reign is as White Princess of the European Hellfire Club. She is often a guest resident at Hellfire New York when she visits America, sometimes she stays with them for an extended period of time.
Powers and Vulnerabilites: Superhuman senses, including perfect vision [much beyond the human standard of perfect], enhanced hearing and smell, much finer motor skills and tactile control than humans, and inexhaustible, intensely magnified strength. Her body does not age or degrade and is in fact capable of withstanding a lot of physical abuse. She has learned many different martial arts styles and blends them together to form her own unique, flowing close quarters combat style. As French fencing was very popular when she first became a vampire, Maximus taught her how to handle a small sword and dagger using the thrusting, slashing, dancing sword-fighting of the times. She also took a great interest in Archery, and to this day wields a longbow, as she never trusted the noise and early unreliability of pistols and other revolutionary firearms.
As an undead, she lacks the bodily fluids present in humans--she has only the blood she takes from her prey, so her tears, perspiration, saliva, etcetera are all actually blood. Though her body is very durable and her skin much tougher than mortals, she CAN be cut and injured, but her body is already dead and so no injury she sustains will be life threatening. She can fully heal from wounds quite quickly, within seconds if she's fed recently. Her undead status also means she lacks the electric impulses inherent in human minds and so she is unaffected by telepathic interference and her mind cannot be 'read' because it does register on the same 'level' as mortal humans. She has the affinity to 'hypnotize' humans, when she focuses her gaze directly, effectively stunning them into obedience. Under her 'spell' she can convince them to do her bidding, or even to allow her to feed on them, and any question she asks of them will be answered truthfully by the human in her thrall.
She is not aware that her blood has healing properties when consumed by humans; she knows only that her blood can be used to turn a human to a vampire, and she has never bothered with turning anyone, though she understands the mechanics of doing so. Most of the myths surrounding vampires are bogus. Juliette personally likes to always wear a rosary somewhere on her person, not only to remind her of her human life, but also as a little joke on Vampire Lore. Stakes to the heart, garlic, holy water... all have no effect on a true vampire and she can go into any church or sanctuary she pleases without spontaneously combusting; but DIRECT sunlight WILL burn her and if exposed for an extended period of time, she will eventually die and so, she is extremely careful not to be exposed. Contrary to myth, she CAN move about during the daylight hours, and indirect sunlight will do no more than gravely accentuate her pallor, but she must do so with great care to stay out of any direct beams of sunlight and so she doesn't often leave the safety of a shelter with extremely tinted windows.
Weapons: Juliette always conceals this dagger somewhere on her person. She has a large collection of swords and longbows. Should the occasion call for it, she might arm herself with her favorite small sword or longbow, but she usually conducts her kills with a great deal of stealth and intimacy.

The Duchess
Real Name: Juliette De Lacroix
Age: 240 [eternally 19]
Occupation: European Hellfire's White Princess
Place of Residence: Paris, France
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 105
Eye Color: shades of brown
Hair Color: Dark Brown
Actor Image: Natalie Portman
Appearance: Slightly below average stature and a tiny frame made her a graceful ballerina, now her size makes her seem unassuming and unthreatening, which she uses to her advantage when hunting. With very dark hair and chocolate eyes, she is an enchanting beauty who lures men almost without effort. Most do not notice that her eye color has an ever changing spectrum, the more sated her thirst, the lighter her eye color, the closer she is to starvation, her eyes become a deep brown or even black... but most of the time, she does not delay her thirst and so, her eyes stay mostly in the lighter shades; during and for a short time after feeding, they are close to gold.
Personality: Noble and poised, she is polite but quite aloof and among 'friends' she is cordial and a bit more relaxed. She does not succumb to extremely strong emotions because her turbulent early life sapped her of much of her passion, so she often seems to have a rather flat personality, but still waters run deep and under the surface of her dignified aristocracy lies a complex being. She IS French, inside and out and within seconds of meeting her it is quite apparent; she doesn't bother herself with speaking very much to outsiders, but when she does speak it is with a thick french accent and her english vocabulary, while extensive because of how long she has been speaking it, is often intermixed with french terms and phrases freely.
History: Born into a Catholic Noble Family in 1770 France, Juliette was the youngest child of the Duke and Duchess De Lacroix. As the baby of the family and their only daughter, she was cherished and doted upon throughout her childhood. She was classically educated and after taking an early interest in Ballet, became a prodigy of dance. She was well regarded by her peers and by society, and there seemed to always be yet another Prince trying to court her, most notably King Louis' younger brother, Louis-Antoine, Duke of Angouleme, and while she entertained the courtship at the behest of her parents and advisers, her true passion was dance.

Name: Brienne Shaw
Occupation: Socialite
Codename: Hex
Hellfire Club: Black Princess
Age: 23
Height: 5'8
Weight: 115lbs.
Hair Color: Sandy Blonde
Eye Color: Ice Blue
AI: Cara Delevingne
Appearance: Brienne was blessed with a gorgeous face and a flawless body, making her the envy of woman everywhere and desired by countless men. Unafraid to use her looks as a means of getting what she wants, it has definitely become a suitable weapon of choice for the young blonde. But despite her posh upbringing, she has a wicked sense of style and loves to play with fashion and the latest trends. She is known as one of London's youngest fashionistas.
Personality: Brienne is definitely a wolf in sheep's clothing. Her innocent looks cause people to underestimate her and believe she's just a "sweet young girl". However, she is anything but. Brienne is a sociopath in every sense of the word. She's selfish, spoiled, and entitled. But even moreso, she's ruthless, sadistic, and down right evil. She will do anything to get what she wants, and if that means killing someone? That's just an added bonus. She craves fame, fortune, but most importantly, power.
History: Born in Newport Wales, England to Liam and Rose Delaney, Brienne spent 6 years of her life being loved and cherished by her parents. Anything she wanted she got. Toys, dolls, bikes, ponies; her parents did everything for her. They truly loved their little girl, and Brienne loved being loved. Even at age 6, she began to realize the power she had over her parents, but it wasn't until age 7 that her true powers manifested.
The ideal Christmas day for any child--a large 15 foot tree decorated with silver balls and ribbons. Dozens of perfectly wrapped packages sat under the tree ready to be open. But Brienne only wanted one thing--a limited edition blonde hair, blue eyed "English Rose" doll in a black gown. She opened every lavish present until only one remained. She knew this was her doll. Her parents beamed with excitement as they passed the gift over to little Brienne. Tearing the wrapping paper off, Brienne's icy blue eyes fell upon a beautiful blonde hair, blue eyed "English Rose" doll...in a white gown. It wasn't until that moment that her parents realized there was something wrong with their "perfect angel". Brienne's eyes darkened as she looked up at her mother and father. The heaps of presents in the room began to tremble around her, the tree began to sway and shake. Taking the doll in her hand, Brienne looked at her mother with hate filled eyes...it was then her mother realized what was happening. Snapping the dolls neck in half as she looked at her mother, in turn, her mother's neck snapped in half as well, instantly killing her. Looking at her father, wrought iron pokers from the fireplace flew across the room and slammed into his chest, head, and stomach killing him instantly as well. Staring at her dead parents laying on the floor in front of her, little Brienne wasn't phased by what happened at all. In fact, she casually began to play with her broken doll, combing the long blonde hair while quietly humming to herself.
After the "incident" on Christmas, Brienne went to go live with her very affluential and powerful grandmother Cordelia Shaw. It was then that she learned that she came from a very long and powerful family line of witches dating back to the 1500's. Brienne's mother didn't want her growing up with Cordelia's influence or wiccan teachings which was why they moved to Wales and isolated Brienne from that life. However Brienne's mother underestimated how powerful her daughter truly was. Cordelia spent the the rest of Brienne's childhood and adolescent life teaching her the wiccan ways and how to harness and perfect her abilities. She allowed her grand daughter's ruthless nature to flourish and blossom, praising her on her abilities to get what she wanted at any means possible. Brienne even took on her grandmother's surname [and their wiccan family name] wanting to break all ties with her "past life".
Finally, at age 15 Cordelia introduced Brienne to the Hellfire Club. Cordelia being the founding member of the London based Hellfire Club back in the 60's had much say as to the inner workings of the club. As the former Black Queen [and now a Supreme Counsil Member], she managed to push passed the ranks and position her grand daughter as the Black Rook--the youngest Black Rook in the history of the club. Many people found it to be unfair and bias, believing Brienne didn't have what it took to be on the Black Court at such a young age and without "paying her dues" to get there. However it didn't take long before she proved to the other Black Court members AND other Hellfire Club members that she justifiably belonged on the court. And soon after, it only took a few short years before Brienne moved her way up the ranks and landed the coveted spot as Black Princess at age 21.
Powers: As a witch, Brienne has the ability to move objects and people with her mind [telekinesis]. She also has the ability to cast hex's or spells against a foe or to aid herself if needed. Brienne also has one specific ability that she is known for--Voodooism. She has the ability to cause physical injuries/pain to herself such as breaking her finger, stabbing herself, burning herself, ripping her hair out, ect. and causing that ability to transfer onto another person. In turn, she's able to do the same damage to people when using a doll or any other "life-like" toy [true voodooism]. She feels no physical pain when causing trauma against herself, however if trauma is caused by someone else, she does feel pain. When causing physical wounds or injuries to herself, she immediately heals. However when others cause injuries to her, her healing process is much slower, especially if it's a catastrophic injury.
Paraphernalia:An ancient family heirloom that dates back to the Shaw family witches in the 1500's. This ring has the ability to create "witchfire", a powerful mystical purple fire that causes devastation to anyone or thing it touches.
