Personality: Due to her usual human-esque appearance, Alice looks nonthreatening, but she isn’t someone to be toyed with. She is rather mature for her age, appearing quiet and almost shy. Always in her own head, always scheming something. Whether it be the best way to torture someone or the perfect prank against a family member. She’s smart, quick to pick up on many things and very adaptable. Able to apply her many skills to different situations with ease. Along with that she is manipulating, using people’s emotions and weakness against them to do her bidding or get just the right words out of them. Of course she isn’t flawless with this, not yet anyways, she is only a child after all.
She relies much more on her wit then brute force, but this isn’t saying she isn’t skilled in fighting. Because she is, using her smarts in battle she relies on dodging and using the enemies attacks and weight against them. Using her powers of emotional manipulation to turn the course of a battle into her favor. Due to her natural prowess and her powers, she much prefers to emotionally manipulate someone or physically doing so. It’s so much more rewarding. You wouldn’t think you could hurt so much more from heartache than physical pain, but that is very far from true.
But the girl doesn’t come without her faults, she has an ego to match that of a god’s. Which means at most times she is very self-centered, and thinks it’s her way or the highway on most things when either of her parents aren’t around. Since she is able to pick up things rather easy, it makes her come off as kind of brattish to people when she starts opening up to them. On top of being prideful, she is a perfectionist. Wanting everything to be just so, everything done just right, otherwise she may throw a fit.
Despite her egotistical nature, Alice is an anxious girl. Masking underneath her quiet facade, then her ego, she is a worrier. Pessimistic, she always thinks the worst of everything, if she doesn’t see a family member for a while she will spiral herself into an anxiety attack. Though this doesn’t mean her ego is false, cause she very much thinks that she is an amazing and nearly flawless girl. Maybe it’s her childish naivety.
With her powers, she is able to feel the emotions of everyone around her within a certain distance. Which is good at sometimes, and bad other times. As an amateur with her power, she has a hard time shutting it off. Crowds are probably one of her biggest weaknesses, as there are so many different people feeling so many different things. It can be overwhelming to the girl.
But outside of all this, she is very dependent. Though she could survive on her own despite her age, she is smart enough, strong enough and skilled enough. But she relies very much on her family for her mental well being, she loves the presence of familiarity. Even if she isn’t talking, just being with them makes her feel better. It doesn’t help she is practically glued to her twin sister. She is still a child too, so her being so dependent isn’t the strangest thing. But as mature as she seems, she is still rather mischievous. Pulling meaningless pranks, and even random stunts you wouldn’t think someone who bolsters how smart and incredible she is would do. She is a perfectionist and more in her mind then most, but it's not all black and white, she does impulsive stuff. Especially more if encouraged by her twin.

History:
The twins Elise and Alice were born in another realm to loving albeit extremely odd parents. Father of the girls Lucius was an assassin with voices in his head, while the mother, Mikka, was his childhood sweetheart whom he had believed dead for years until she came sweeping back into his life. Over their years both of them worked taking commissions for numerous jobs with Lucius taking illegal activities while Mikka took mostly legal ones alongside the friends she had come to value before reuniting with her lover. However, when the leader of the group she worked for was sent away to another realm, Mikka crashed into illegal work alongside her secret soon to be husband, pushing him into marrying her a year after. That’s the family the twins were born into, an insane assassin and a good intentioned mercenary.
Shockingly the girls were able to begin a normal upbringing as around their birth Mikka retired from her work strained from the loss of everything she had known grounded only by her new family. With a doting stay at home mother the girls developed young, Elise gravitating towards the dead while Alice drew closer to emotion’s leading to them eventually developing an ability to utilize their respective interesting combatively. The second the girls took interest in combat? Lucius began training them while their mother forged the kids special weapons like she had done for their father over a decade before. It was not long before the twins began regularly sparring against each other and their parents.
Upon the 8th birthday of the kids, their parents began occasionally taking them out on commissions were Elise’s necromancy or Alice’s emotional powers could be honed better than at home. With time passing and their skills advancing swiftly the twins were promised that when they became teenagers they’d be able to take their first solo commission together. However, sadly they’d never make it that far.
One day things went wrong, their parents had a contract in another realm and told the twins to stay put because realm traveling could be dangerous. However, the girls didn’t listen and attempted to follow their parents the next day. The actions that day launched the children violently through the dangerous space between realms, claiming their life and depositing them near Eldritch Academy were they revived as Inugami.




Name of Species: Inugami

Baseline Dimension: Inugami have two forms their dimensions changing dependent on which one they inhabit. Generally they have a secondary form that resembles humanoid species following those dimensions. However, their natural state is an incredibly large dog often between 10 to 20 feet in height, they weigh next to nothing never exceeding twenty pounds in spite of their large size and width varies vastly depending on species of canine.

Baseline Appearance: Able to possess any color hair, eyes and skin this species does have a preference for darker colors due to an affiliation with black magic. Occasionally they display special features in their humanoid, elfin ears, fur for hair, dog ears, canine tails, claws, tufts of fur on their body, markings around their neck, markings on their faces and other markings across their body all being possible.

Culture/Origin of Species: Inugami originate as some other sort of dog bases species. When an Inugami reproduces the child inherits the genes for whatever the Inugami was prior as it takes an additional special strenuous circumstance to create an an Inugami, birth isn’t enough. Being spiritual canine deities of revenge Inugami come into existence when canid species have been killed in such a way that leaves them incredibly vengeful. Most typically this involves enduring some sort of starvation resulting in death, though sometimes the event that turned them involves a beheading or being buried under a busy location causing the body to be ‘trampled’ on. However, there have been weird incidents were the rise of an Inugami has nothing in common with the rise of other’s of the species and all that is in common is the fact they died first.

Traits:
• Inugami are able to physically interact with the emotionally related energies in the world as if they were perfectly tangible things even making them visible to others in the form of colored fog, their claws acting like latches to allow this.
• Due to their nature as spiritual beings regardless of form, false body or possession, Inugami can fly/levitate at will.
• Wield senses of smell, hearing, night vision, etc, stronger than that of the canines they once existed as.
• Inugami possess a natural sense of direction that can not be interfered with making it extremely difficult to disorinate them unless someone’s strength exceeds theirs.
• These canines are specters at their base in spite of being an advanced kind they still retain the basic ability to possess objects and other species.
• Inugami are potent black magic users granting them powerful bodies and abilities, +2 Strength.
• As wielders of a strainful art they have evolved to be able to go longer than most others to get the most out of their rather costly magic.+1 stamina
• Born from the shedding of their own blood Inugami are incredibly attuned with the substance able to manipulate their own blood to make weapons or spilled blood to strike someone from behind.
• Easily able to transform between two forms, one of them much more potentially damaging than the other.
• Inugami can solidify shadows into numerous shapes to use them to grip things or such.
• Alternatively the shadow on someone’s back is their negativity, being attuned with that an Inugami can breathe life into and control living shadows, 4 x their strength is the limit for their animation of shadows.
• Oddly malicious as most Inugami tend to be, their consumption of emotional negativity leaves behind only positive emotions ironically making the world around them better.

Flaws:
• Are particularly susceptible to being controlled by those who can control spirits due to the fact their bodies are false constructs or possessed forms. If the strength of the person attempting exceeds the inugami by 2 or more, the Inugami has no choice but to obey.
• If an Inugami or their contracted master does not respect their power’s the innate abilities of the species are quick to spiral out of all control even that of the Inugami itself resulting in an inability to control their abilities for a time the power of the Inugami will lash out with excessive brutality at anyone including its own reflection.
• An excessive use of their species powers against multiple others in a short duration results in the Inugami’s personality darkening and becoming more violent until they can stop using these powers for an extended time.
• Inugami are quickly addicted to their own power’s without some form of coping mechanism it’s next to impossible for them to go a day without making use of their powers and actually puts them through withdrawl systems.
• Perhaps most inconvenient for this species is the fact they no longer sustain nourishment from normal food and instead have to feed off negativity.
• They can suffer from something known as sensory overload which suddenly makes them irate and aggressive until they can escape to rest their senses, in order to escape they will kill if they have reached this state.
