Charlie

Sorry people, I have no pictures for any of my characters, and if you're looking for his house, check out this page: Charlie's Home

Also, if you're wondering, down below, I have his magical abilities, these are named and used in the Rainimator series, and next to a few of them, it says "'Recharge' spell", this just means it takes him a while before he is able to do the spell again.

"For someone who's gone nowhere, seen nothing, and done nothing for their entire life, you'd be surprised what I know." -Charlie to Ari, Never The Same

Family: Phoebe

Species: Human

Age: Unknown, presumed to be in his 30s

## Description

Magical Abilities: Pyromancy, Arcane Lightning, Arcane Bullets, Arcane Beams, Banishing Spell, Teleportation, Telekinesis ('Recharge' spell), Portal Summoning ('Recharge' spell), Water Walking, TNT Ignition, these are all named and used in the series.

Appearance: Charlie is short, and has short, black hair that covers a small part of his face. He has very pale skin, that is almost completely white. He wears black pants, gray shoes, and a white shirt with a dark blue, unzipped sweatshirt over it. He doesn't have any weapons, not because I'm lazy and didn't want to make any, but because he doesn't need any.

Powerful and incredibly intelligent, Charlie is a strange and confusing opponent to come up against. His hard past had changed him from kind and caring to dangerous and merciless. He is also shown to be very persistent and very manipulative when he wants to be, an example of this is when he was able to earn Ari and Zoe's trust. While he is able to lie easily and manipulate many people, he is also very honest.

## Story

After Natalie had been knocked out by a spell she had been using, trying to get Herobrine out of her head, Charlie found them, and decided to try and find out what was wrong. He was able to help Natalie, and make sure she was alright when she got onto her feet.

A few days after Ari and Natalie left, he went to look for answers on where Ari had went, and headed for The Dreadfort. He knocked out one of the guards and made the other one talk. He said Zoe had gone after Ari, and that they were likely in Glacierford, and he left the guard and headed there.

When he arrived in Glacierford, he found Zoe flying above him and struck her with lightning, once to power down her new wingsuit and twice to knock her out. He asked her if she knew where Ari was, and the two had a short conversation before splitting up to find Ari.

When Charlie found Ari, he sent up a lightning strike and called out Zoe's name. When she arrived, Charlie pointed at two people riding their horses, and they ran, not knowing who they were. Turns out, it was Jalen and Phillip, but of course, they didn't know this. Charlie led them to a house, and said that he and Ari would leave, and head to a safe place. When Zoe protested, he explained that he had a bad reputation at The Dreadfort, and that he couldn't come.

Before he teleported with Ari, Zoe saw him throw her a small smile, and before she had the chance to grab Ari, they were gone.

After Charlie had teleported back to his house, the two sat there for a few minutes, until Charlie told her he had to check on something. Ari, who was confused and somewhat nervous, nodded, and let him go.

When he stepped downstairs, he prepared his lab for Ari, and using his Elasticity Spell, he was able to grab Ari and bring her downstairs, and chained her to the table in the middle of his lab. Then, he was able to give Herobrine access to Ari's mind, and control her every move.

Eventually, the assassin he had hired had brought him Zoe, and handed her a reward when she left. When Zoe had woken up, she found herself sitting in a dark room, until she saw Charlie flick a light switch. He told her that Ari had thought Zoe would save her, but when she didn't come, Ari decided she wanted to go back to working for Herobrine, spoiler alert, he lied. Zoe didn't believe him at first, but then he asked her "Then why is he standing right behind you?", and she turned around to find Ari standing behind her, and thought that it was really her friend, until Herobrine, using Ari's body, started trying to attack Zoe, but before this, she heard Ari's voice whisper "Run", which is exactly what Zoe did, and as she turned around a corner, she found a door, and stepped inside, rushing down the stairs, trying to escape Herobrine.

When she stepped into the room, she found Charlie standing there, and he spoke with her for a moment, before she started to run. She tried to get through the door, and was banging her sword against it, trying to break through. Before she could, Charlie started walking towards her, and kept telling her she should give up, saying she had lost everything, her home, her friends at The Dreadfort, Ari, and Luna. The last one flipped Zoe's switch, and she dropped her sword, and Charlie knocked her out, telling her that nobody would get hurt, as long as she cooperated with him.

Before he got the chance to do anything to Zoe, he was confronted by Jalen and her friend Phillip, whom she sent back up the stairs to help Natalie. Charlie told her to fight him, but when she didn't, he asked her if she was afraid, and she said she wasn't. He told her to show him she wasn't afraid, and he asked again, and again, until she fought him. They fought for a very short time before he was pinned to the ground, her axe aimed at his throat. He asked if she was going to kill him, and she said she couldn't do it. He asked her why, and asked if she was afraid, she again said she wasn't, but she lifted her axe and let him stand up.

Charlie asked her again, if she was afraid, and when she didn't answer, his used his pyromancy spell, surrounding his fists in fire. He kept telling her to tell him what she was afraid of, until she was so weak she couldn't stand up, then she told him she was afraid that he could take away her friends, that she would wake up the next day and they would be gone, all of them. He told her that even he didn't have the power to kill everybody.

He walked over to Zoe, who was by now awake, and trying to escape his lab, but the chains around her arms were too tight to escape, Jalen told him to let her go, but when he refused, she finally challenged him to fight. Natalie and Phillip ran downstairs as they started to battle, and they battled. Not very long after, Charlie had a hold of Zoe, and was holding his Arcane Blade to her throat. When she tried to escape, he started to press it into her throat, and made her stop. Blood started to seep out of her neck, Natalie blasted him with a spell, making him let go of Zoe, who ran away to Jalen, who held her tight, asking her if she was alright. The two of them watched as Natalie and Charlie battled.

Everything seemed to freeze around them, and Charlie made a deal with Natalie. He said that she and her friends could run free, but one would stay behind, or, she could stay behind and spend the rest of her life with him, and her friends would be free. She told him that she would stay, and that he would let Zoe, Phillip, and Jalen go, and that he had to revive Ari, or she wouldn't stay. He agreed, and told her friends to leave before he changed his mind.

The next day, Natalie asked if he was going to do anything to her, but he said that he had to repair some damage from the day before, but before he left, Natalie raised Phillip's diamond sword, still covered in blood, and held it to her chest, the blade aiming at her. He held out a hand and tried to stop her, but she had stabbed through herself before he could do anything.

Charlie's last appearance in Book 3 is when he is talking with his newest creation, Aura. the two talk for a few minutes about Ari, and what had happened with her. The two decided that Aura would pay her another visit, and as she walked up the stairs, Charlie waited a few moments before following.

Even though that was Charlie's last appearance in Book 3, he was mentioned by Jalen and Mark when discussing what had happened, and why Jalen was gone so long. Jalen told her father a little about Charlie, and he said he knew Charlie, back before the undead came. He said they were very good friends, and Charlie was there whenever Mark needed him most, and that he showed him magic that he had never seen before. And when Mark asked what could have happened that could change him so much, Jalen guessed that Charlie thought that him and Mark were more than just friends, and that when he figured out that he had left with Anne, that it was possible it made him grow angry, or miss him very much.

Right after the words left her mouth, she said she didn't actually know how Charlie works very well, and that she was just guessing. Her theory has been proven correct, and Mark explained that Charlie had confessed this, and that Mark did not know what to say. He said that he cared for Charlie a lot, but he thought it wouldn't be possible for them to be like that. Charlie understood, and the two kept it a secret.

In Book 4, Charlie fights in The Battle of the Far Plains, in an attempt to help The Nether and kill Ari and Zoe. He found Ari where Jalen had left her, and battled her while he explained what had happened to Natalie. He then grabbed her by throat and lifted her up, starting to slowly choke Ari to death, She clawed at his hands but instead of his grip loosening, it only tightened. She had almost been killed when Zoe punched him, making him let go of Ari. He told Zoe that she could either take Ari and run, or she could stay and kill him. He told her that he would keep trying to make her life hell if she left, but Zoe being Zoe, decided to let him live, and flew away.

He returns to The Dreadfort to 'speak with' Ari and Zoe, but ends up finding that Lady Azura and Ser Patrick had followed him, and her ran away with Aura. Ser Patrick and Lady Azura had followed him, and were trying to get him to join them. He told Aura to run, and as they keep persisting, his powers charge up, and his powers create electromagnetic fields, and they are forced to retreat.

He returned to his house, and spoke with Ash and Lee while enjoying some of Aura's dessert, and leaves. He tells them that Aura's bedroom, his bedroom, and the basement were off limits, and headed upstairs without another word.

Ash ignores this, and convinces a hesitant Lee to come down to the basement with him. He did not think about what Charlie would do to him afterward. The two find his lab and read the notes Charlie left strewn on the floor, and find out about what was wrong with him. He had a voice in his head, telling him what to do. He wrote that it was the only way that the man in his head was alive, but he never gave a name.

Charlie then comes downstairs and finds them, and starts glitching. His heart beat faster and faster, and the Arcane Blades floating behind him were flickering, but not moving. His eyes glowed their light blue color, but when Aura came downstairs, they went back to normal, and he went unconscious.

When he woke up, Aura threw her arms around him, telling him how worried she was. He was stunned at first, but slowly wrapped his arms around her.

He decided to take a walk in the woods, to take a break from what had happened. He is again spoken to by the voice in his head, and he tells the man to leave him alone, and the voice disappears for a while.

While on his walk, he runs into Ari, who explains she's running from The Shadow Legion. He tells her to head towards a hidden cave where she can stay while they run away. She agrees and he tells the assassins that he knows where she went, and points them in the wrong direction. The three split up, not trusting Charlie enough to believe him.

Ari was in the same place she had been told to go, and was trying to get out, figuring out she couldn't move the boulder, even though she could a moment ago Charlie then tells her that he wasn't actually helping her, and that he had given her a weakness potion. She then passes out, and he takes her to The Nether, where he runs into Naeus. The two agree that Charlie can take Ari back whenever he wants, and that as long as she was out of the way, she was out of the way.

Later, Charlie is found by Natalie, who speaks with him shortly, before disappearing in a blinding light. In her place, his little sister, Phoebe, is standing. She runs into his arms, and the two hug for a long time. Phoebe then asks him if he remembers their promise. When he replies, saying he does, she then tells him that as long as he remembers, she can visit him any time they want, and then disappears.

When he comes to bring back Ari, he had a short conversation with her and Zoe, and then takes Ari. She runs back and says her last words to Zoe, believing that she wouldn't see her again. Charlie then grabbed her and took her away.

## Fun Facts

* Charlie seems to have much better control over his magic than Natalie, but it is unknown whether he has even heard of The Coven before, while Natalie was trained there for years.
	+ He also seems to have strange abilities, unlike anybody else in the series, such as freezing things, electricity-related powers, such as teleportation and the ability to control lightning itself when he gets angry, and the ability to revive humans.
* He is shown to be afraid of being touched, because in Book 3, Aura was sitting next to him, and rested her head on his shoulder, which made him flinch. However, he shows to have no problem when Ari touches him, or if he touches Ari.
