Talia Trismegist
Talia is Circe’s spirit reborn. She is the first human born on her home planet of Niberia in over 3,000 years. Unlike every other Niberian, she was born without the traditional birthmarks—called Nibmarks—on her neck.
Her family works tirelessly to hide what she is and who she is destined to become. The rings that surround the planet Niberia, emit a certain radiation that only affects humans, giving them supernatural abilities and making them semi‑immortal.
Talia can communicate with spirits, heal simple injuries, and control lightning. As she grows, she develops her abilities and learns how to defend herself.
Her powers seem harmless at first, but as she gets older, they become harder to hide. Sparks flick
from her fingertips. When she becomes upset, lightning lashes out from her hands.
Talia doesn’t understand why she has these abilities. As a child, she feared them, creating confusion and anxiety. Intense emotions trigger the lightning, and negative emotions make her powers even stronger. Once she learns to control them, she begins to embrace her gifts.
Talia is naturally careful with her actions, and she chooses her words with intention. She is mysterious, holding her secrets close to her heart. She rarely opens up to others, not even to her own twin sister. Talia knows she is different.
She knows the legend, but she struggles to believe it could be about her. She is meant to restore balance to their world, but she has no idea how. Talia has spent her entire life fighting something she cannot see.
Circe’s ring makes her feel trapped. She needs it, yet it binds her to Hunter. Talia is torn between two worlds: the one she lives in but doesn’t belong to, and the one she longs for but cannot reach. She is caught between who she is and who she is destined to become.

Storm Smoke
Storm had a difficult life from the beginning. Born into the Sumerian lower class, he is unwanted and constantly reminded by his mother that he will never matter. Instead of letting her words break him, he rises above them.
As a young adult, he tries to escape the Sumerian system but fails. After getting into trouble, he is sent to prison. There, a violent altercation changes the course of his life. During the fight, Storm receives a near-fatal knife wound across his Nibmarks; the birthmarks that mark his identity.
He is rushed to an Anunnakian hospital, the only facility equipped to save him. While recovering, he meets Delphi, who cares for him, helps him heal, and ultimately helps him escape.
After waking in the hospital, Storm has a nightmare about the attack. He remembers almost nothing, only that something inside him awakened.
He tries to build a new life by taking classes at the local college. He keeps everyone at a distance until he meets Scoter. They bond over being outsiders, both rejected by their societies for their beliefs. Storm feels an immediate pull to protect Scooter, almost like an older brother. For both of them, this is their first real friendship.
Storm is a complicated man with many layers, though he rarely reveals them. He keeps his relationships shallow and physical until he meets Talia. His connection to her is immediate and terrifying. She sees through him in a way no one else ever has.
Despite his new life, Storm remains haunted by the prison attack. The nightmares return again and again. Talia is the only person he trusts enough to tell. Storm never shows fear, but the nightmares leave him waking in a cold sweat, heart pounding, the memory as vivid as the day it happened.
Storm is a demi‑god Templar, sworn to protect Talia. The mark on his forearm—a circle with three inward‑facing swirls enclosed by a shield — binds him to that duty. A curse compels him to transform into a Minotaur, a half-man, half-bull creature, whenever needed. The beast is both his burden and his weapon, a living reminder of the destiny he never asked for but can never escape.

Olivia Trismegist
Olivia is Circe’s soul reborn. As the “normal” twin, she often feels overlooked. Her powers are internal: visions, predictions, empathy, and telepathic abilities that are quieter than Talia’s but no less powerful.
Olivia communicates with Talia telepathically. She senses the emotions of others, especially intense ones like pain or anger. She can also make small predictions, such as who is about to walk into a room or when someone is about to fall.
One night, after an argument with Talia, Olivia’s abilities surge. Their bedroom erupts with energy: lightbulbs explode, electronics flicker on and off, and the entire house spirals into chaos. Talia becomes so enraged that bolts of lightning shoot from her hands toward Olivia, but Olivia predicts the attack and moves just in time.
She tends to date men who are not particularly intelligent, choosing partners who will follow her blindly and worship her. She expects to be placed on a pedestal, craving attention in ways that only deepen her insecurities.
Outgoing and fun, she is also self‑centered and deeply insecure. She obsesses over her appearance and only feels accepted when she believes she is beautiful. Convinced she must vie for her parents’ attention, she designs and wears colorful, outrageous outfits to stand apart from her sister.
Confronting how she treats others brings out her true self. Beneath the vanity and bravado, she has a fierce passion for living and loves far more deeply than she admits. She is not nearly as shallow or self‑absorbed as she pretends to be.

Commander Jitatma
Commander Jitatma is born among the dead, a child who exists between worlds. From the moment of his birth, his origins are shrouded in mystery, and he alone can travel freely between the realm of the living and the realm of the dead.
As a young child, he is forced to live in the Underworld under the care of Lady Anasazi. She raised him with cruelty and abuse, shaping him through fear and discipline. Yet even in her harshness, she instills in him the instincts of a leader and the strength to command.
Many years later, he escapes the Underworld and briefly reaches the living world, only to be sent to the Far Viscera, where he rises to command King Hunter’s army.
Jitatma’s loyalty is to the kingdom above all else. He always chooses what he believes is best for The Far Viscera, even when it puts him at odds with King Hunter. Their relationship is strained by conflicting ideals, forcing Jitatma to walk the line between loyalty to his king and duty to his people.
He presents himself as tough, unfeeling, and impossible to sway, but that façade hides a far more complex truth. Jitatma is fiercely loyal and deeply passionate. He protects the people he loves with unwavering devotion, even when it means defying orders. His methods and motives are often misunderstood, but his heart is steady. He expresses himself through small, deliberate acts of kindness, because vulnerability does not come easily to him.
Jitatma is a natural leader in both the living world and in the Far Viscera. He is layered, enigmatic, and unpredictable; never fully revealing which side he stands on. His soldiers respect him without question. He never doubts his decisions, nor does he hesitate when duty calls. He is a commander forged by two worlds, shaped by suffering, and defined by the choices only he can make.
