Salvation (Savvy)

Overview

The character, Salvation, is an angel that darts around the events of House II, though truth be told, she was not always an angel. She was once a human just like you or me. And she would have stayed an average, not magic-aware human if it weren't for our dear friend Kaitlyn. Or Megan, the name she was using at the time. Yes, that's right. Savvy used to be a human, but not just any human. She was Toya. Now, we didn't see a whole lot of Toya in House I, and that's because she was a last minute creation inspired by a specific picrew. There was a side plot tied to her, but House I came to an end before I could play it out. But that's alright. Just means I get to tell you all about it here on the Wiki.

Toya

Believe it or not, this page is actually not about how Toya became Savvy, but I suppose context on her upbringing would help you understand just how she came to be an angel named Salvation. Toya started out as a regular old human, as you know, and was set to stay that way, until tragedy struck. Toya was hit by a car going full speed, a drunk driver. Her best friend, Megan, witnessed the whole thing, and decided to step in. You see, Megan was actually Crimson, the Red Immortal Soul. And Megan had been reading about some ancient forgotten magic recently. The Timeless Curse. Immortality. She hadn't planned on using it herself, but when her best friend was so cruelly taken from her, she made up her mind. In the street, mere minutes after the accident itself, Megan cast an unbreakable spell. And she succeeded. Ish. Toya was alive and well. She was immortal. But it didn't take long for Megan to realize her casting wasn't perfect, the spell wasn't perfect. It was breakable, and it was flawed. Not only was Toya Immortal, she was also ageless. She stopped aging entirely, leaving her body stranded at fifteen years of age.

At first, it didn't matter. Neither of them cared. It didn't make a difference to them, they still got to be together. This was how Toya became A) Immortal and B) magic-aware. For years Toya and Megan stayed together as *best friends.* They went on many a magical adventure together, and spent a lot of time together. One day, however, Toya decided she wanted to go home. So home they went. When they got back to their old home town, everyone was speechless. Most of all, Toya's old boyfriend, Tristan, who was now ripely seventeen, while she was still fifteen. He was not magic-aware, unfortunately, and couldn't handle the idea of a timeless person. (Or at least, that's what he wanted her to think. Truth is, he was Chase, the artificial Immortal Soul discussed on the Immortal Souls page). She wanted to get back together with him, though technically they had never officially split, but he had other ideas. He had been seeing another girl, one who was seventeen too. He broke up with Toya on the spot, leaving her for the other girl. This broke Toya's heart, and she blamed Megan for it. She was so angry, in fact, that she snapped. She tracked down Megan and got her revenge, mercilessly killing the girl she blamed for her heartache.

Now, as you may remember, Megan was secretly the Immortal Soul, Crimson, a fact she neglected to tell this best friend of hers. When the host, Megan, died, Crimson waited for Toya to leave, then left and found a new body. She moped for a while, of course, but eventually got over the loss of her friend. Such is the way of Immortal Souls. They can't hold onto grief forever, so they often give it up faster than most, making them seem heartless. Point is, Crimson moved on and eventually forgot about Toya.

Toya, however, did not forget. She did not forget, she did not age, she did not die. She was still immortal. And she hated it. So she spent her life trying to track down anyone who could break the curse. The unfortunate catch, she found out, was that only the caster could break it. And as far as she knew, she murdered the caster years ago. Still, she did not want to give up hope, so she seeked out any powerful Soul Snatchers she could find, anyone who could try and break her curse. Eventually, she ran into a demon girl we're all very familiar with. Hallie. At the time, however, Hallie was suffering from magic loss because of the Klara incident. When Hallie told her there was another Soul Snatcher nearby, she was ecstatic. When she finally met Kailtyn, however, she knew. She could tell. That was the girl who cursed her with immortality all those years ago. She may look and sound different, but that was her. A bit of investigating lead her to find out about the Immortal Souls. Suddenly, she was angry all over again. Megan was alive this whole time and hadn't bothered to come looking for her? And by the looks of it, she didn't care, or even remember Toya! She began to plan her revenge, even if she knew she couldn't go through with it. She couldn't kill Megan, now known as Kaitlyn, because Kaitlyn had to break the curse on her. So she started planning, and was gonna follow through, when she saw how Kaitlyn and her new friends got along. She realized that Kaitlyn's been immortal far longer than she has, but she still seems to be happy. Maybe Toya could be happy too.

With this new attitude, Toya left Newport and tried to find friends of her own. Before she made any friends, however, she realized the other flaw with her immortality. Below the surface, it was still eating away at her. She would stay alive, but eventually would be corrupt again. The burning anger would take over and she would be doomed to seek revenge once more. Desperate, she said a prayer. Miraculously, her prayer was heard. Goltu answered the poor girl and made her an offer. He could turn her into an angel, but she would have to work for him. She accepted this deal and he purified her, he brought her Salvation. So that's what she renamed herself. She decided to leave her old life behind her and be a loyal angel, helping out wherever she could. Goltu sent her to Earth around the time House II takes place, and this is where the real Savvy plot is actually focused.

Savvy

As an angel, Savvy was able to venture across the world and make friends with other angels and magic-aware humans. Now, Savvy was a real angel, but the thing is, Goltu only purified her, he didn't actually break the curse. She was still timeless, unaging. But she had long since gotten over that fact and it didn't matter to her. She was now a timeless angel who wandered the world to keep watch over it's inhabitants. But the world is as it always has been. Rumors spread, legends are born. The "myth" of The Girl That Time Forgot spread across the land, everywhere she went. She didn't mind, it was nice to be seen, to be appreciated, but a small part of her was always afraid the rumors would reach Kaitlyn and she would know. She was always just a little afraid that Kailtyn would find out and would come to drag her back into her past, ruining the new life she had.

Nowadays, in the present of House II, Savvy is hanging out with Moltania, a demon who is also under Goltu's care. Not much is happening adventure wise, but that's simply because I haven't started my plot yet. (And because House II died multiple times. How awkward.) Below is a detailed description of what's to come, and who is behind it all.

SONG

One day, during House II, Savvy goes missing. Out of nowhere, just straight up disappears. But here's the thing, she's got friends now. And they're gonna wonder about it. And they're gonna go looking. And they're gonna find a mess of a conspiracy waiting for them. Rounding out my trio of weird organization names (SHRIEK and UH) is SONG, Scholars Of the New Gods. This organization works tirelessly to create a new god, or multiple, if they can. Problem is, they can't seem to find any host bodies that are strong enough. All of their attempts in the past have been failures, and most of them have died. To understand what happened to Savvy, we're gonna have to take a look at the past attempts.

Tristan, aka Bane, was the first attempt. In fact, he was a success. And accidental success. The man in charge of SONG (he doesn't have a name cuz I'm lazy. fite me) accidentally turned an Escaped Soul into a god, but it escaped him too and became the Bane we know today. For more details, see the Haunting Of Excalibur page.

Cynthia was attempt two, first try with a physical body, didn't go well. She ended up exploding after creating Cyrus, leding to the whole Timely Encounters debacle. Now, Cynthia had a physical body, yes, but not a natural one. She was a clone. She was a clone of anther little girl, who could quite possibly still be out there. Who knows. I certainly don't. Anyway, she was a clone, and they soon discovered that a cloned body was not stable enough, and that her magic was out of control. So they dumped her in a random cabin in the woods where AJ and Kaitlyn stumbled upon her around a year later. Again, for more details, see TImely Encounters.

Attempt three was a character I never introduced. And had never planned on introducing. She had a picrew and nothing else. Not even a name. She was not a clone. She was just a regular old orphan with a stable, physical body. Unfortunatley, this too was not enough. The magical power pumped into her made her body unstable and ended up killing her. She was never heard of or from again, and no one ever knew or cared.

Number four was introduced, though only breifly, as the little girl, Emma. Now anyone with a brain massive enough to see past the one incredibly vague hint and into the future would know that Emma is actually Emerald, the large green dragon that was causing chaos just outside of town in House II. Emma was born a dragon, and yes she was an orphan, did you think SONG over here would kidnap kids with liability? Ha! Not til they're desperate! Point is, SONG kidnapped her and began the same experiments on her, trying to turn her into a god. The thought process behind moving from human host to dragon is that it would already be a being of great power, surely it could handle a little more thrust upon it. Well, unfortunately it was not just a *little.* It was enough to drive her draconic power out of wack and turn her into a mindless killing machine in dragon form, while remaining an innocent little girl when in human form. Yet again, she was ditched as a failure and never really given a chance.

Now this brings us to the present with Savvy. Yes, kidnapping Savvy was a risk, seeing as how she would be missed, but SONG was getting desperate. Nothing had worked so far, so they decided to kidnap a being already familiar with a godlike power. So they took an angel. Unfortunately for them, she was not always an angel. She was still human at the core. And she was flawed, already flowing through with complicated magic. The experiments did not work on her either. They gave her a major power boost, and made her a bit more shadowy, but it didn't make her a god. For that, she was glad. She did not want to be a god, she wanted to be a regular girl with friends and family, but that had all been ripped away from her slowly, bit by bit. She's angry at SONG now, but is still pure at heart, and only kinda wants to hurt them. Honestly, I hadn't written an ending for this plot. I was gonna leave it open for everyone else to help me shape it. There are many branching paths it could take. Revenge, forgiveness, rescue, loss. So many ways it could have gone. But let's be honest. I'm writing down the whole lore web because I'm not sure how much or how little of it will actually see the light of rp day. I don't know how much of it I'll actually get around to doing. As such, I at least want a record of the whole mess of a lore web I've been holding in my head for so long. I wanted a place to write it all down so there was no way I'd forget it. I wanted a record of the stories I've written, so here it is. I hope you've enjoyed seeing my thoughts splattered onto a Wiki and desperately tidied and organized to try and make some semblance of sense. Thanks for reading!
