The Cain Family fled from Ireland in the early 1840s during the Potato Famine. Initially Cormac Cain, the second son of settles in New York City as did most immigrants, but city life didn’t suit him. Oh a whim he hopped a train south with all of his worldly belongings and didn’t stop moving until he ended up in Louisiana. He ignored the talk of The Swamp Witches as he traveled from Louisiana down into the Bayou, but Swamp witches were exactly what he found there. Incidentally he married one. Yazmina Thibodaux, now Yazmina Cain (whom Mina was named after) was the oldest daughter of an old Cajun family that dated back to some of the first French settlers that tried to work the swamp. The Children of Yazmina and Cormac helped spawn a great magical family graced with the gift of Necromancy, Cormac having married into the one of the Eight Great Families of Witchcraft.
For the most part the Cains kept to themselves, eventually branching out from the Bayou and moving into New Orleans and the times changed. When the fighting began between Lazarus and Harmony, The Necromancers began to get a bad name. This cause tension to rise and animosity to grow between the Cains and the other seven.For decades, even up until The Incident, the Necromancers were naturally distrustful towards their magical brethren and remain so until this day.
Traditions:
If women in the family marry, their husbands take their last name, preserving the name of Cain.
Necromancer Children begin to learn about magic at the age of 4 and while they are not trusted with doing actual spells until they hit puberty, they are already knowledgeable about their history and their abilities.
It is up to the parents to teach their children and sometimes an older sibling is left to mentor their brother or sister in the ways of their kind.
When a Necromancer comes of age a ritual is preformed that allows then to use their magic as they see fit with no restrictions. But the Head has to power to postpone the ceremony until that person proves themselves.
Famliy lines:
→ Younger Sister(s): Between the ages of 16-20. Up to two sisters. Each can be as diverse as the player wants. Though I do want one who is the black sheep of the family. Think Marilyn Munster from The Munsters.
Suggested PBs that are in no way binding:Nina Dobrev( to match Victoria Justice), Katie McGrath.
→ Younger Brother(s): Remy Cain; 25-27 He is the closet to Mina in age and in bond (possibly a twin). They were mischievous children together and sandbox love never dies.
Suggested PBs that are in no way binding: Ian Somerhalder
Between the ages of 16-22-For the brothers, I would like two or three brothers. Specifically I’m very interested in the youngest brother being attached at Mina’s hip since their parents were killed. She has never coddled anyone in her life, but this kid needs it and so the awkward mothering commences.
Suggested PBs that are in no way binding:Logan Lerman, Aaron Johnson
→ Cousin(s): Go wild. Cousins of all ages(under 25) and genders welcome.
General Information:
The Necromancers are directly close to anyone, yet there is a certain camaraderie between them and the Enchanters. There is however a hatred that runs deep for the Diveners. Necromancers also do not have to be dark or evil or obsessed with death, as for most things, the characters personality dictates which side of the fence they fall on.
