taximancyCharacter name: Charlie Orsini and Mikolas (Mickey) Fritz Orsini
Character Canon or OC: OCs
Character Bio: Charlie Orsini is a 23 year old necromancer. That is to say, they're not a very good necromancer, and can only really revive taxidermy animals. One day at a natural history museum in Michigan, they were mumbling dark magics by the wilderness exhibit. Nothing was supposed to happen, they were there to meet up with someone who would take them to their first real summoning. Unfortunately, the dead stuffed bear on exhibit they were muttering near returned from the dead, coaxed into reanimation from Charlie's practicing.
Once the bear came to life, Charlie started to freak out, unable to return the bear to it's simple state of sand and fur. Alive once more said bear began to terrorize the museum, only stopping when Charlie unintentionally made the demand to do so. Realizing that the bear and Charlie were connected, both were thrown out of the museum and Charlie was forced to pay thousands to the museum for the loss of their bear, and everything he destroyed.
For a while Charlie tried to undo what was done, but eventually grew to care for the bear as a pet, even going so far to name him. Mikolas Fritz Orsini, or Mickey, was now Charlie's animal companion, which wasn't so bad after he calmed down from the initial shock of reanimation. He was friendly enough, didn't hurt people, didn't have to eat or use the bathroom, didn't shed, didn't get ticks or fleas, it was a pretty good deal.
Except for one thing. Mickey was kind of an asshole bear. Wherever Charlie brought him he would often take things that didn't belong to them and chew them up. He would also claw at just about anything that wasn't alive, making him a horrible house guest.
Charlie was sure they wouldn't be able to take Mickey anywhere, and since Mickey was no longer living, he couldn't exactly go back to the wild. Eventually Charlie was run out of their home town, Mickey causing far too much trouble for neighbor's liking. Not knowing where to go, Charlie started heading south, driving their self and Mickey around in a large powder blue minivan. Eventually they came to Portsmouth, they were just going to stay a week, but a week turned into a month turned into a year, and eventually after building up funds with odd jobs, Charlie bought a house there. Charlie now works at the local pet store, volunteering part time at the animal shelter and generally keeping Mikolas out of trouble.
Supernatural Lean: Charlie is a necromancer, having been raised by their single mother, who was also a necromancer. Though Charlie's mother was well established and very skilled in necromancy, Charlie was not. Charlie could only ever revive things like, frogs and birds, and was a general disappointment as far as the dark art went. Their mother was supportive however, and introduced Charlie to other types of magic as well, to try and find Charlie's special niche. Nothing really seemed to work, but Charlie was determined to at least try a formal zombie summoning ritual. It was that day that Charlie unintentionally brought Mikolas back to a living state. Not exactly knowing how they managed to pull it off, Charlie was often seen as a joke, and as Mickey became more trouble than he was worth, Charlie eventually was asked to leave town.
