a backstory as a witch? hmmm okay i think i can help with that

well i started looking into demonology and occult shit at 11? 12?? somewhere around there should be alright
probably wouldn't go any younger than 10

I'd like to try a story that isn't 'the unwanted dregs of a demon'.

Maybe I made my pacts out of choice rather than necessity. But what would I offer the demons if they weren't also desperate to survive? Phantom tried to eat us as it was. Parents maybe, but that's a bit dark, might give the wrong impression ;)

[ Please take and understand this winky face: V is really just spitballing for fun. ]

choosing to do it because you WANTED to is way better anyway

holy shit you sacrificed your parents?? that's terrible
i love it
if you don't go with something horrific like that then i'd maybe try like the basic-ass selling your soul for power or whatever?
people would probably buy that one without much skepticism

You think it's easy to believe that I'm soulless? I'm flattered.

I don't think my single soul can account for three different demons, unless I was descended from some ancient holy priestess. Which is easier to believe, that I murdered my witch parents and bribed the demons to me with their magic? Or that I sacrificed my own holy blood for them to consume, and sullied my once spotless bloodline?

The latter might require entirely too many details, implies too much history.

you're welcome! but like nah to thinking you're actually soulless
if you were you wouldn't feel a thing [wouldn't feel something for me, his presumptuous ass will leave unsaid.]

i honestly like the holy priestess idea coupled with the dead witch parents
that leaves explanations sort of nebulous and you can add or take away whatever you need to make it more believable
not to mention it sounds more badass and less people might fuck with you that way

No one harasses me as it is, except for Grell. I left her in a field to await a healer last time we met. I expect she's angry with me.

So I have favorable blood for a sacrifice. I am loathe to victimize myself, but that easily kills my parents and summons my demons. Someone takes me to use to summon demons, and I bind the demons to myself instead in defense. This also provides for interesting intra-coven intrigue, who else but another witch is summoning demons.

But the real question between those stories is: Do I want to be a brave survivor or a heartless monster?

[ Isn't that always the question though. ]

i mean that's a fair thing to be upset about
but i'm gonna have to call bullshit because i harass you all the time

hey sometimes you gotta play the victim card and in this case? it totally works in your favor
this is brilliant!! so are you using it as a background story to pass as a native or are you still gonna say you're from your homeworld?
either way works i'm sure but just so i know

my vote is for brave survivor since it's always better to prove you're tougher than you look

[and doesn't he know that all too well?]

Unfortunately for your claims of bullshit, I believe there's a distinction between harassment and interest. As for Grell, she shouldn't have treated me like prey, if she didn't want to see my teeth. It turns out I am a bit tougher than I appear. I'd suggest not mentioning me to her though.

Until I can conceal my aura and remove the High Priestess's tattoo I have little choice but to admit to being an Otherworlder. But I think now I can make up a few little facts about who I was before. I like the sound of being expelled from school at least once.

[ Maybe for idk... fighting. For showing his teeth when other children or even teachers would try to treat him like prey. Then someone had tried to use him like little more than a cup filled with blood, and all his defiance became a weapon. The story is starting to have a touch of charm for him. ]

well alright i can't deny that at all
assuming you guys had a fight? if i ever meet her then i won't mention you
doesn't seem like the best idea unless i WANNA piss her off? which i don't when it comes to first meetings

[there's an inappropriate comment to be put here, something about, “i don't mind if you show me your teeth,” but he thankfully (somehow) manages to resist.]

removing your faction tattoo? are you sure about that?? shit can mess you up
agreed with the expulsion thing! i'd go at least two for good measure if it were me but you do whatever YOU want

[god knows klaus understands baring your teeth whenever it's needed, too. while he hasn't been there often, he's managed proving himself plenty of times now; survival is necessary and all, isn't it?]

I truly did find academic learning tedious and oppressive, it is much more interesting to teach myself and learn from individuals.

Aside from my week at the University, I don't know anything about a modern school. Or children, really.

I read to whichever children come, at some of the Kyst bookstores, I suppose I see a little, but they are on their best behavior when looking to me for entertainment.

my homeschooling kinda sucked a whole lot so i would've preferred learning either of those ways to it
taught myself street smarts at least

i'd say you aren't missing much in both cases
children are okay i guess?? usually for the most part
although i have to admit i'd like to learn more magic from the university
even just a little

that's good to hear! SOME kids can just be real snots so keep an eye out
would it be weird if i came and listened to you read? not all the time just
i dunno every now and then?

You have someone entirely new to teach you about magic, the benefits of becoming a bonded warlock.

You can come, you just have to babysit Griffon. I usually need at least one assistant to curtail his mouth. The children like his commentary, but the parents are not a fan of his colorful vocabulary.

not gonna lie i'm pretty fucking stoked about it
also worried but that shall pass
i'm sure if i ask too much of my patron she'll tell me and then i know my limits

babysitting griffon will be far easier than watching actual kids!
i'll bring snacks so that should keep his mouth busy not spewing profanities
