The Necromancer
Arcadi Volkovich was born the spoiled only child of a family expecting a son. It was to both the father and the mother's dismay that their baby - their coveted only chance - came out lacking the equipment they'd hoped for. Yet, rejoice they did to have a child at all! Her parents kept the masculine name. They kept all the blues and the greens they'd decorated with. They kept their plans as tightly as they could. They loved their daughter; they did everything as right as they were able. Little Arcadi rarely went without. She had a mostly-normal childhood… except…
Little Arcadi Volkov was born into a modern family who treasured the old ways and soon, she too was drenched in magic and monsters; a family heavy with Bogatyri - Russian heroes, knights and sorcerers in league with the Council of Ros since antiquity. With her father, Isaak Volkov, the castallan to Moscow and her mother, Irina Morozova, archivist in the Urals, it seemed her future was certain… and yet, the apple couldn't have fallen further from the tree. Arcadi did not follow the path that was set in front of her, though not for lack of her parents' trying.
Now under the employ of the Guild of Ia, word is that her dramatic change in her fate and the course of her life and the subsequent move across Russia and the Pacific to Seattle was spurred on by a little crush - love, that turned to obsession. The identity of the lucky soul in question remains unknown and the source and validity of these rumors remains untold. These days, Arcadi specializes in Necromantic and Vampiric magics in a professional capacity and excels in manipulation, diplomacy and intimidation. While she may initially appear quite polite, reasonable and flirtatious, she can have a heavy hand and a threatening, standoffish demeanor when she's deemed necessary and isn't above using her power to her advantage…
and she wants for nothing… except, perhaps, more power.
preternatural repertoire
Necromantic Magic.
- When preforming Necromancy, Arcadi is particularly gifted at controlling (purposing), rebuking (devastating) and turning (paralyzing) the dead - or undead. The same harness on negative energies that allows her to use such a heavy hand with how a person's soul or body is to act after death allows her to disrupt, wither and doom living targets.
Vampiric Magic.
- Vampiric magic was initially interesting to Arcadi so she might combat the ill effects Necromancy had on her as a whole. Arcadi can heal, energize and buffer herself, and (if she feels so inclined) others, from harm. However, every magic has its price and Vampiric magic only works if there is energy to move around—there must always be a martyr for her cause.
