## History

Jay, formerly known as Jaden, was a denizen of Arella. Not only was he an inhabitant, he was part of the original Arellan family. Being from Arella, he learned a lot about the occult and magic in general. When Jay was five, Satan came into Arella because of a ritual caused by his childhood friend, Madelyn. Jay was the only known Arellan to survive. Distraught, after he found his mother's dead body, he went to the priest's ward in his village and found an amulet that took him to the 'Chaos realm'. In the Chaos realm, he stayed for about 8 years learning how to use his powers over probability, more about Chaos magic, and forming a coven with four other witches. After they left the Chaos realm, they moved to Scotland, stayed together for 2 more years, and disbanded. When he was 14, a deity of chaos would bring him to New Orleans to live with the famous witch, Marie Laveau III. He lived with her in New Orleans for about 2 years, learning Earthly customs, launguages,and ancient secrets of magic. Marie Laveau II would soon die due to unknown circumstances, and he would get thrown out of her Voodoo shop by the city of New Orleans. After living on the streets for almost months, Satan came to him by possessing a man on the street and making a deal with Jay. If Jay collected Madelyn for Satan, he would bring him his parents back. Jay would then start at school at 'Xenon High: The School for the Gifted and Unknown'.

## The First Book

Jay first started at Xenon High, as an attempt to capture Madelyn for Satan. At orientation, he would hypnotize Ms. Pena into putting Madelyn and himself on the same team during his power demonstration, to get closer to her. As the months passed, KJ, Amayah, Erika, Brooke, Madelyn, and Jude would suspect Jay was evil, but still didn't know who he was. KJ, Amayah, Erika, and Madelyn performed a ritual to scry into Jay's past memories to get intel on him, and they saw a destroyed Arella. Madelyn would recognize it, but still not know where it was. Later that night, Jay would find out they scried into his memories, and hypnotize Brooke and Jude. Jay would tell the team everything, while still capturing Madelyn and acting as a triple agent. He took the team to Arella and conjured the devil. After the devil deceived Jay, he threatened to kill KJ to get his mother back. Brooke used her powers through KJ to show Jay the future if he killed KJ. In the vision, after Jay banished the devil, Jay and Jude fought Madelyn and Amayah, until Amayah finally drove a sword through Jay's chest, killing him. Jay released KJ, and the team reconciled. Before they could go, Satan would try to take Madelyn, until her mother saved her. Adele revealed that Jay and Madelyn are cousins and that Madelyn was promised as the devil's heir. Adele would give herself to Satan, and go down to hell with him. After the team left, school would end, and the team decided to go to Taragonia for the summer. Once they arrived, the team met Athena, who told them that Taragonia was under attack.

## Powers

* **Arellan Physiology:** Jay is from the magical realm of Arella.
	+ **Expert Occultist and Occult Detective:** Since Jay is from Arella, he has knowledge of earthly magic, potions, and more of the unseen. Jay also lived in the Chaos realm for four years, where he learned Chaos magic and how to use his powers. Last, he lived in New Orleans where he learned more about magic, and observed the Vodou religion, and how to control his powers. He'd eventually pull his gods' influence into Earth and learned different ways to connect with them using different Earthly divination techniques.
	+ **Immortality:** In Jay's home of Arella, time stood still, so since he is now on Earth his body has no perception of time, so he will likely live for a very long time. He is also descended from divinity, resulting in his immortality.
* **Chaos Magic Manipulation:** Jay can manipulate chaotic, magical energy.
	+ **Probability Manipulation:** Jay's family is part of the original Arellan family, and is a descendant of Arella herself, which allows him to control an aspect of reality. Jay has the magical ability to ‘make things happen’, and to essentially alter timelines, altering reality.  Even though he gets this power from his family, he learned how to control it by inducing chaos into probability and create hexes, which come out as curses or anything he really wants by manipulating the pre-existing fabric of reality around him
		- **Good/Bad Luck Manipulation:** This sub-ability of Jay's is more of a defense mechanism, his body can control his luck, and his luck only whenever he is in immediate danger.
		- **Probability Manipulation:** Jay can use this ability to control the probabilities of objects and people around him, by inducing enough chaos onto a person/object he is able to change their personal probability, but only from pre-existing reality and probabilities.
			* **Mid-Level Mentifery**
			* **Low-Level Reality Warping**
	+ **Spell Casting:** Jay can use multiple different languages when it comes to casting his spells. But, he can only cast spells in his ancient Arellan tongue (Tamil), Creole, or some Ancient Egyptian/Arabic. He can also speak some Latin, Yoruba, and Spanish, but they're not his go-to's.
	+ **Electrokinesis:** Jay is able to generate, control, and command electric currents and lightning.
	+ **Divination:** Jay can collect information from natural elements.
		- **Hydromancy**
		- **Aeromancy**
		- **Pyromancy**
		- **Geomancy**
		- **Necromancy:** Jay can't heal, resurge, or reanimate dead beings, but he is able to summon and communicate with spirits and the dead.
			* **Mediumship:** Jay can fully speak to spirits and the dead through many forms of communication.
			* **Dead Sight:**  Jay is able to see the dead, even if they don't initially present themselves, but is able to control when he wants to see them or not.
	+ **Hypnosis:** Jay is able to induce hypnosis by using mind control. As he developed this power, his eyes, unbeknownst to him, began to turn turquoise as a way to draw people into his mental grasp because he can only cast psychic spells through his eyes.
		- **Mental Manipulation:** Jay can manipulate the mind by inducing hypnosis, he can induce hypnotic trances and reduce people to catatonic states.
		- **Illusion Casting:** Jay's most notorious ability, is to cause illusions over the mind and make them see what he wants.
			* **Glamouring:** Jay can change his appearance and cast illusions to project them on himself or on others.

## Abilities

* **Rituals and Spellcraft:** Jay learned a lot about voodoo in New Orleans, aspects of European paganism, Hellenism, and native rituals from Africa and the Americas. He is able to use it to his advantage, but it is not his go-to uses of magic because he'll often need to venerate different spirits or deities. He'll often use Arellan rituals as well. His most used form of magic is the magic and chaotic rituals he learned in the Chaos realm.
* **Prestidigitation:** 'Slight of Hand', Jay picked up this ability in the streets of New Orleans performing stage magic and pickpocketing, and magically enhanced it.

## Paraphernalia

* **Feather of Protection:** Jay has a necklace that has a folk protection spell on it. It's very important to him

because it was the last thing his mother gave to him.

## Weaknesses

* **Vulnerability to Divinity:** Jay is not able to enchant certain angels, deities or the Creator, and he can be enchanted by them. Jay's magic is also affected in Order realms and different divinely-ruled realms.
* **Self-Confidence:** Jay holds himself and his powers back even when he has very extreme feelings because he knows that if he doesn't he can be very destructive. As a result, he holds himself back because he doesn't believe he can contain his chaotic behavior.
* **Mental Illness:** Jay suffers from various mental illnesses, and even though they don't always display themselves.
	+ **Mental Insanity:** Jay's chaotic behavior can sometimes take over and he can become mentally insane.
	+ **Depression (*formerly*):** Before Jay performed a separation spell, he was dealing with severe depression from losing his entire realm, and family.
	+ **Anxiety:** Jay is a very anxious person by nature. Though he is outgoing, he deals with social anxiety and PTSD.
* **Apathy:** Even though Jay regards this as a good thing, he sometimes wishes he wasn't apathetic. He has performed many spells and used potions to cancel some of his specific emotions (sadness, fear, and trust, at times). Jay is able to block out his emotions, either by choice or as a defense mechanism to protect himself.

## Trivia

* Before Jay died, he wrote the final sacred book of Arella, *Teyvīka Iruppu* or the Divine Balance.
