A LITTLE BIOGRAPHY

Alright, so listen up. I'm Artemis Danvers. I am Twenty years old and I'm what you'd call a witch. Yeah yeah, I know it sounds freaky and weird but its true. Don't ask me how its in my DNA or some shit. Anyway, I don't know what they are but there are these monsters that I can see and that like to just ruin my fucking day. Go figure right? I didn't go to high school and I am a witch so I need some bigger and uglier bullies? Give me a fucking break. Well anyway, here's my story...

BASIC INFORMATION & HISTORY

It was a mid summer's eve in the month of April. The May showers came early to Salem, Massachusetts. Upon the eve of April 24th, 1994 a young woman of sixteen found herself within the large stark corridors of the local Hospital. Upon their door was unlucky number 13, the thirteenth room within the large establishment. The thunder roared with a quaking vigor as the rain continued to sooth the stained glass with its pitter-patter of song. Through the evening the labor of the young woman would continue. Her screams of agony at the miracle of life would fill the seemingly vast and empty hallways. it was however, at 3:05 AM on the morning of April 25th did the screams become silent. Replaced in stead with the cry of an infant. A young boy. This however, despite the miracle of life and the common numbers of male children, came to be a shock for the new mother.

To first understand the present, one must look to the past. For each step forward, a firm footing must be had from the rear. The Danver family lived on the outside of the town of Salem, their blood stained the earth on which the town lay founded. For many generations since the founding of Salem and the settlement of British in the America's did the Danvers live, breed and die in the small town. Their name printed among the founding fathers of Salem, Massachusetts. Despite their legacy, they chose to move further from the center of town, their name in scorn and reputation tattered. It had been in the waning days of the year 1662. In early Febuary it had been the Danver's eldest living blood that was first accused of the new and terrifying threat of Witchcraft.

One of Twenty brought forward accused of the new crime. However, despite the accusations never being truly accurate in most cases, the Danver family had a unique blood. Their bodies, over time had adapted well to the spiritual pressure and powers of Reiatsu and Reiyoku. Stemming from the first hollow attacks fifty years prior, that, much like the Quincy race had done, had adapted to combat the hollow menace in a more spiritual way. Due to this, the eldest Danver was burned to the stake. Two more daughters of Artemis Danvers (the original heir to the Danversname in the 1600's) were tied, bound and burned for the accusations of witchcraft.

Having lost his wife, and two eldest daughters to the Salem Witch trials, the spiritually aware man vowed that no more would he stand for such injustice. Swearing that as long as the female blood flowed through the Danver line, that they would experience no spiritual connection as to save them from prosecution. And for the next three hundred years, each heir to the Mason name and blood would remain female. Cut off from their spiritual birthright due to the techniques and "spells" of Artemis. That was, until by fated chance, did the last female and descendant of Artemis marry a man with similar recessive traits. The resulting child would, against the odds, break the curse of Artemis and bear a Mason son. With this, the son of Artemis would be the first to inherit the spiritual bonds that flowed strongly within his veins. Their ancestors and the legends of their families that were passed down to the new heir's own mother would now show him his traits and his powers. Despite not being able to look at such things until his rite of passage at the age of Fifteen. This was the beginning of the next Heir of Artemis Danver. The bloodline would live onward.

As the young Danver son would grow, the ability to soon walk, talk and make rational choice would follow. This however came much more rapid due to his spiritual connection. By the age of two he could talk, by age three he began to read. Through school he would grow, above average within his classes. All seemed normal and all seemed fine. However at the age of six, the reiatsu the young boy possessed became to much for him to handle. Like a facet that would not turn off, it poured from him. School children around him got sick, animals died. Many came to believe that the boy himself was a witch. Families with strong ties to the community came to prosecute the boy, treating him like a leper. His mother consorted the boy, comforted him and reassured him that he was indeed normal.

He found it harder and harder to believe though. By age thirteen his reiatsu reached a peak, it made his own body frail and weak as puberty took its toll on the spiritually aware male. His body became frail, his own being being consumed and compressed by his own overwhelming pressure. He remained bedridden for the next two years until age 15. It was upon his birthday would be allowed the chance to look at their family secrets, and with it learn the steps to becoming the Heir to the Danver's and with that, forming his own covenant that would rival those of old. He would become the necessary piece to restore the name of Danvers, the spiritually aware humans whom consorted and allied themselves with the Bounts more than five hundred years prior. The mighty family known for their "witchcraft", "spells & curses" which were mainly their affiliation with the divine.

Within his first year, by age sixteen his body had healed. His reiatsu now tamed and maintained with a fine degree of precision. From the first book of many left to him by his ancestors before him, he took them in stride, order by order as assigned in a letter from his ancestor for which he was named. Addressed to Artemis himself from his great, great, great, great, great grandfather. Knowing that one day a son would be born. Taking that to heart, the newest Artemis would continue his training.

At the age of eighteen, his reiatsu had drawn towards the city of Salem the hollow menace. They attacked without mercy, killing his mother, and setting the town ablaze. He tried to stop them, only to be seen fighting the invisible demons by the town folk. Despite the hollows leaving before Shinigami forces could have arrived, his image had been tattered. Accused of Witchraft in the 21st century was an odd thing indeed, but for a city founded and known for the Witch Hunts of the 1600's they felt no sympathy. Gathering what little he could, Artemis vanished, moving place to place until he arrived in Japan. It was here, did he read that his ancestor's had left parts of their records, and with that new powers for which he was to unlock.

The beginning was now. Enter Artemis Danvers and welcome to the Covenent of Artemis.

PERSONALITY & PREFERENCES

Rough around the edges, Artemis can be seen as a literal punk. Since a young age his whole life has been of prosecution and prejudice; ridiculed and exiled from the main cast, he was an outcast, a loner and not of their kind. With this being said, he can be seen as an emotionless prick. Arrogant in his own right, he has a need for adrenaline and likes to show off. He does not put his head into the game and can be seen as rather reckless and wild. A man of lust, gluttony, envy, greed, pride, sloth and wrath, he is the literal embodiment of Sin. He can be found being crude and disrespectful to women, lusting after them and never being in a true relationship that did not involve sex. He is an envious and greedy man in which he has no moral conscience bout stealing or taking things that he wants, including women. He is prideful, as stated earlier and arrogant which, when added with his short temper makes him a stick of dynamite. He can be found more often than not laying around and eating, thus fufilling the last to slices of sin to the whole pie.

Despite the outward negativity of the man, Artemis is still a human being. He may seem like a prick or a cock, he does indeed have a sense of self-righteousness. When placed into harm, he will -- albeit recklessly -- go to save innocent civilians when the time comes. He will not steal from the poor or those it would do significant harm, and will even help out others if the stroke of kindness comes a-scratching. He will not allow a demon (hollow) to roam free to terrorize the cities, and also holding his own grudge, he will face hollows without fail (or conversation).
