The Story of Eve

Where to start? Well, why not from the beginning. On the edge of my one year anniversary as Evelyn, I'd like to tell the story about who I am, and how I came to be.

I've been on Twitter for 19 months, and started RPing soon after. I honestly can't remember where I learned about Twitter since some celebrities were on it at the time, but not as many as there are now. I do know I started because I had, at the time, a crush on Robert Pattinson (it was my young and stupid days *wink*) and when I found a fake account of "his", and saw him talking to a Bella, I learned about twitter RP.

I joined a Twilight roleplay group and became addicted. Spent many late nights pretending to be characters out of the young adult series. But as many of us have learned, trying to work within the confines of a book character is very constricting and stifling to the creative vibe. Within a few months, I'd expanded out into other universes, until I found TrueBlood RP. I started off as a vampire but since I hadn't watched a single episode of Trueblood or read any of the books, I was always messing up. So I started back over as a human, a naive human who'd had little interaction with vampires, and began to learn the rules and etiquette. Now I'm up to date on all the books and episodes.

My human character lasted for only a few months before I got bored so I created someone new. I knew I wanted to be a witch but after reading the books, they hadn't explained much about where Amelia Broadway was drawing her magic from. They touched briefly on the Wiccan religion, which I know nothing about. So it made it difficult to play that character. I decided to integrate a different series to fill in the holes Charlaine Harris had. This is why Evelyn is a mix of the Trueblood roleplay, and Kim Harrison's Hallows series. The way I rationalized it in my head was Evelyn is a Harrison witch, living in the Harris world.

Here's her abilities:
Evelyn draws her energy from ley lines, which she can either balance herself by pulling it out of her, or spindling it in her head and using it later. I wanted to keep her from being all powerful, so I gave her limitations. She can't hold energy over or in water where she's not touching the ground, or an extension of it. For instance, on a boat or swimming in a pool, she can't, but bathing in a tub she can. She can't manipulate technology, and salt water dissolves any spells she is carrying.

Originally, Evelyn was an independent runner, who recovered kidnapped kids, etc etc. But without clients, it got boring. I'd read in the Harrison books that the main character went to a charm shop and that's how I came up with SouthernCharms By Evelyn. From there I went through my old Dungeons and Dragons books, Harry Potter spells, and the Harrison novels for spell ideas. (I have about 50 charms I need to add to the site, but have just been too busy, or lazy haha, to do it)

So that's Evelyn Dawn Valmont. In the last year, she was married, turned into a vampire, then a demon, then an angel, and now an adoptive mom. Full circle, right?
