This thread serves as a living archive for all the characters. Here you can introduce your character, update their information as the story unfolds and keep track of their relationships, growth and anything else we might add.

Please bear with me while I try to figure out how to organize this because I can’t code what I had in mind here. I will post for each of your characters and make it a WIKI so you can edit!

Aurora's tale begins within the halls of Ninth House; a girl who could never say she had a normal childhood. Born to headmaster Adrian Dear and his wife, Lorain, Aurora's childhood was imbued with the subtle energies that permeate the college grounds. Her earliest memories are painted with hues of ancient manuscripts, celestial observatories, and the whispers of forgotten secrets. Adrian Dear has been the Headmaster of Ninth house for 28 years; residing and calling that same institution home. Besides the student dorms there is a part of Ninth House that belongs to Dears - the only place Aurora could even call home. She grew up in Ninth House, watching students come and go until she was old enough to call herself a Ninth House student. Living in this institution let Aurora into the wicked world of it as such a young age, understanding what went on behind closed doors and what secrets she had to keep; knowledge that was at time suffocating her.She was raised in an environment where books weren't just stories but gateways to otherworldly realms. Her curiosity, kindled by the luminescent glow of Ninth House’s library, quickly evolved into a passion for the mystical arts. Guided by her father's subtle teachings, Aurora delved into the traditions, the very essence of the Quantum which she would later come to lead. Aurora's exterior mirrors the luminosity of her name. At first glance, she is the embodiment of warmth and positivity, her laughter echoing like a melody through the ancient corridors. Her auburn locks and sparkling eyes contribute to the image of a radiant girl whose presence seems to dispel shadows. However, behind the radiant facade lies a mind adept at navigating the intricate threads of both academia and the occult. Aurora's cheerfulness is not merely an expression of genuine joy but a strategic tool used to create an aura of approachability and charm. She understands the power of perception in a place where alliances and connections are as crucial. Her ability to maintain a cheerful demeanor, even in the face of challenges, grants her a certain influence over those around her. Students and faculty alike are drawn to her radiant presence, finding solace in the illusion of simplicity she presents. Aurora's endearing quirk in addressing her close friends as "Deer" became a symbol of camaraderie within the Quantum. Her use of the term, while seemingly endearing, serves as a subtle form of control, reinforcing a sense of unity and camaraderie within the Quantum. She carefully crafts an image of inclusivity, ensuring that every member feels valued, all while subtly guiding the direction of the society.

Returning for another year at Ninth House, Hayes carries the weight of secrets. His decision to repeat a year remains shrouded in mystery, a puzzle with missing pieces that no one on campus can solve. He offers no explanation, deflecting inquiries with a cryptic smile and elusive words. He attends classes with a contemplative air, his gaze often drifting to the hidden corners of the campus. It's as if he sees beyond the veil that separates the known from the unknown, and those who observe him closely sense that he is privy to secrets that would shatter the illusions.

Born in the embrace of a small, mysterious village nestled between ancient woods and rolling hills, Hayes Ferrell alongside his sister, Lenore, emerged into a world where secrets echoed through every rustling leaf and hidden path. His tragic beginnings were etched in the shadows of a thigh knit community, his parents - scholars deeply intertwined with the mystical arts - meeting a tragic fate that cast a somber veil over his early years. Raised in that world, Hayes developed a connection to the mystical energies that flowed through the heart of his village. As he grew, the call of knowledge beckoned him towards Ninth House, a beacon of mystical studies.

Hayes Ferrell is an embodiment of reserved strength and enigmatic determination. Shyness veils him like a protective cloak, yet within that reserved nature lies an observer, attuned to the subtle rhythms of the energies that move through the college’s ancient halls. Yet, within the confines of Cipher, he emerges as a silent force, his determination and quiet strength contributing to the collective mastery of Cipher arts. His interactions with friends reveal a subtle warmth and unwavering loyalty. Hayes is the steadfast companion who, though quiet, stands as a reliable pillar of support for those fortunate enough to breach the walls of his shyness. His friends find in him a confidant, someone who listens with genuine interest and offers quiet wisdom when needed. While he may not be overtly expressive, those close to him recognize the sincerity in his actions and the subtleties of his affection.
