 Ravyna Sepp is a current member of the Illuminati and accomplished photographer. She was born in a small town in Estonia before moving to the United States at the age of four with her parents. She grew up in a normal environment other than one, single supernatural event while in high-school. Afterwards, Ravyna went on to university at New York University's film program. During her time in college, she investigated rumors of paranormal activity and worked as a freelance photographer with work submitted to places like TAPS and Paranormal. After graduation she went on to join the New York Times as a photographer, blogger and occasional journalist. She used her connections with people from the Tisch School of the Arts to secure a decent position. Her first contact with the Illuminati was during university after her anima unlocked at a party. Her skills, ambition and minor magical ability made her a promising agent willing to get her hands dirty.

=Biography =

• High School •
Ravyna had a perfectly normal childhood after moving to the U.S. Her father took a job as a mailman while her mother worked two part-time jobs in retail. In highschool she dabbled in photography with a group of friends. She would submit photographs of many of the old, abandoned locations around their city. Her nickname came about due to her flighty, spontaneous nature. It wasn't unusual for her to storm into a friend's house and drag them off on a road trip to a random town nearby for some pictures or to decide in the middle of class to drive to the lake and swim for the day.

• First Encounter •
P i x i e didn't believe in any of the urban legends surrounding the places she liked to explore until one of them happened to her and her friends. The school had been destroyed by a fire and remodeled. It was rumored that another fire had destroyed the school again, for good this time. As far as P i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e was aware, thee wasn't any official closing date of the school. It was located at the edge of a busy retail area and loomed over the nearby streets. The school itself had been built in the mid 1800's and featured aspects of gothic architecture. She'd heard several urban legends claiming that the blackboards in the school were “haunted.” There were several stories of people seeing strange things in the blackboards of a classroom on the second floor. The blackboard would supposedly be filled with pictures of children crying and burning.

A second legend had to do with a kid who had died while playing football for the school's team. The legend went that if you stood twenty paces away from the front doors on the front landing, facing those doors and shouted “I challenge Billy to a football game!” that you would be tackled by a phantom shape. Those tackled usually ended up with serious broken bones and sometimes even breaking their necks, like the boy who had died on the football team.

<font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e had no plans to investigate the second legend, she simply wanted to look for “cool pictures” on the second floor blackboards. She'd also heard that there was an abandoned assembly room for plays and speeches inside that she wanted some pictures of. The girl went with three of her highschool friends during the day on a weekday hoping that no one would notice them. They first went to the second floor and poked around, looking for anything interesting on the boards. There were several poor drawings of fire on some of them but nothing overtly interesting.

The creepy part started when <font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e and her friends found the old theatre. The stage had collapsed in the middle from age. The curtains were ratty and pigeons had made roosts in the rafters above. A large stack of bags of powdered concrete sat on the stage. A few unrecognizable stage props sat in shambles up there as well. However, the theatre's stage wasn't the creepy part.

When she and her friends entered the room, the spread out and started to look around. Once reaching the front of the room and turning to face the chairs, they all got quiet for a moment. Every chair in the first three rows was filled with a different stuffed animal. The scene was creepy enough that it had stunned them all momentarily, although they all started getting excited and laughing about it afterward. <font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e took dozens of pictures of the toys, all the while wondering who had bothered to set up such a thing. While they were taking pictures and joking around, they realized one of their friends was missing. They split up and searched the rest of the school, calling out his name. Unfortunately, after almost an hour of looking they couldn't find him. <font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e assumed that he had just gotten freaked out at some point and left. The last time anyone could remember seeing him was when they entered the old theatre.

In school the next day, he didn't show up. His parents said he hadn't come home that night. Thoroughly freaked out, <font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e convinced some of her friends to return to the school. She was sure that her friend must have gotten hurt somewhere inside. The floors had been rickety on the third floor and he may have fallen through at some point. The kids spread out once again and searched the place from top to bottom. It was in the theatre that <font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e found something odd. An anthropomorphic bunny with large buck teeth was sitting in one of the chairs. The bunny was dressed in a Bad Religion t-shirt and a pair of jeans. She had used to joke with her friend that his teeth made him look like a rabbit, and his favorite band had been Bad Religion. She couldnt' recall if he had been wearing that shirt on the day of the first visit—but it wouldn't have been out of place.

<font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e freaked out, but kept what she saw to herself until a few days later while looking through the pictures she had taken. In every single one of the pictures she had taken of the theatre's seating, her friend could be seen sitting in one of the chairs. The same chair that the rabbit had been in. She tried explaining it to her parents, to her friends, and to the school. No one believed her, obviously. She got sent to therapy for a few years afterward and that was it. Her friend was never found and was reported as a runaway.

<font color="#3366CC">• <font color="#33FF33">University and the Red Dragon Society <font color="#3366CC">•
<font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e went to university at the New York University, one of the premier places for photography in the U.S. She had no desire for her paranormal activities to be discovered. The effect that such a reveal would have a significant and harsh effect on any hopes of employment, or so she assumed. She kept busy surrounding herself with only the best the school had to offer in teachers and students alike. She attended every party, every event and joined numerous clubs to make connections including submitting articles to the Washington Square News and the NYU Local. Her participation in NYU Local netted her a short video interview at PBS in late 2008 when they did a piece on the blog. Black-tie events and raves alike became a large part of her world, mixing between the formal occasions and the entertainment of anyone important she could come across.

New York University was an ideal place for a young Illuminati due to its lengthy history of secret societies. She sought membership into only the most exclusive and esteemed of these, the Red Dragon Society. Oddly enough, a handful of college-aged Illuminati also proliferated the society despite the name's affiliation with the Dragon (who had little to no relationship with the exclusive alumni in the Red Dragon Society). Within the club, a handful of Illuminati trained and practiced with one another favoring those who held academic excellence and a commitment to progress above all else. Of course, Ravyna had no idea of this when she was inducted within the first year of school.



While at university, she didn't forget her high school experience. She continued to dig, investigate and learn. She found ancient books in dusty areas of the library and information in odd places of the web. Her photography adventures continued to take her into the middle of obscure, abandoned locations giving her glimpses of nightmare creatures that she gladly avoided. It was a mix between this and her rubbing elbows with the right people that led her to a party in a mansion one night. The mansion was in Long Island and owned by a local entrepreneur, Kenneth Langone who had built an empire as a venture capitalist. Langone was a trustee at New York University and a member of the Red Dragons. The party was an effort to introduce new Red Dragon Society members to the alumni who had achieved great success. It was also at this party that drank an alcholic concoction designed to unlock anima. Fortunately for <font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e, it worked. She later found out that the drug was given to only those members that the Illuminati thought would make good agents.

After her anima was unlocked, <font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e spent some time practicing her abilities and trying to figure out how it all worked. The Illuminati within the Red Dragon Society introduced her to the society within the society. She was on her way to becoming a well-trained agent for them along with all the connections, power and information that that position could offer.

<font color="#33FF33">• <font color="#0033CC">First Hunt <font color="#33FF33">•
"There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter." --Ernest Hemmingway Joining up with the Illuminati and the Red Dragons wasn't all fun, games and politicking. Ravyna quickly found out that she was going to be expected to perform and to perform well. Her first "hunt" came two months after her anima had first unlocked. She could manage basic electricity combat magic and seemed to be a natural with a firearm. One of the elder Red Dragons, Derek Pike, led the outing. <font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e was brought into Pike's room to discuss the particulars. He would lead her and three others on their first expedition. The prey was a small group of goblins that had been causing trouble at a nearby fire station. The goblins were causing havoc in the station and had managed to kill a civilian that had strayed inside alone and during the night. Goblins were minor menaces and there weren't very many of them so the Illuminati thought to hand the mission off to some new agents. It was the ideal training scenario.

<font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e knew that goblins existed both as physical and spiritual creatures and packed to match that. She had not yet found Grant so made use of a beretta that was gifted to her by the Dragons when she first became an agent. The pistol was loaded with special shot packed with both gunpowder and salt. She dragged along the makeshift foci she had crafted for her elemental studies--a poppet made of rope and yarn. The four Illuminati crept into the firehouse and searched for the creatures' lair. One of the other newbies came across the lair by accident. He stepped onto a part of the concrete floor that collapsed under him, breaking his leg when he crashed to the small sewage pipe underneath. Five of the toothed monsters swarmed upon him, ripping the flesh from his bones before darting up into the hole he had made. Caught by surprise, the agents backed into a group. Pike led them through the tactics they had been trained in and easily dispatched the goblins after the nasty surprise. They were instructed to gather the nails, hearts, teeth and ears from the creatures before burning the remains and taking that as well. <font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e learned that Pike knew a parts buyer and seller in the City by the name of Bob who paid fair price. She noted the name and location for future hunts, but he disappeared shortly after learning the name. Clarence's body, the Illuminati who had fallen, was interred in an unmarked grave and declared missing. Those who failed were of no interest to the Red Dragons.

Section only available to Illuminati Agents. Input authorization code for access (hit the arrow above) The check from her first hunt had her hungering for more. A hunt was filled with excitement and terror. It was the perfect adrenaline rush for the entertainment-seeking Estonian. She kept alert of any opportunity and let others know that she was seeking something else, another adventure. Others among the Red Dragons thought she was getting too excited, that she would be a hazard in the field. Unfortunately, it was her spontaneity that netted her another job and caused it to nearly end in disaster. With no fortune favouring her among the Illuminati, <font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e turned to outside sources. She found out about a couple in Bayville, New York near Oyster Bay who were distressed over a lost child. They claimed that some creature had come out of the water while they were walking along the beach and taken their five year old son, Ricky. <font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e offered to find what had happened to their kid and bring him home, alive if possible, dead otherwise in exchange for a sizable sum of cash. The couple eagerly agreed. This would be <font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e 's first solo hunt and she wanted to look the part for her clients. As a result, she showed up in black and brown leather, mask and goggles included, along with a bag filled with scuba gear and other obscure magicka.

The first few days of the hunt were worthless. <font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e had planned to take a week to do this, tops, and yet had spent the first three days scuba diving the area without finding anything. She looked up old newspaper records of the area and had found that there were a number of missing persons reports for the coastline here. Using those records, she managed to form a circle where most of the problems had occurred and used that to broaden her search. On the fifth day, she found a collection of rusted canisters jutting from the back of the rotting hull of a sunken ship. The ship looked to be a Portuguese ship from the 1800's that had never been recovered. The canisters were much newer, but were so rusted that she couldn't tell what they had once contained or if any markings were on them. While exploring the ship, she found a tunnel inside the ruined cargo area that led underground. The next day, she came back to the tunnel with an expensive collection of waterproof lights and extra tanks of air. Where the initial few meters of the tunnel were made from packed sand, the remainder was a slightly soft coral-like substance. The tunnel eventually flattened out, giving way to a chamber that was oddly clear of water. She took off her scuba mask and readied a P11 in one hand and a light in the other. The chamber was a perfect dome and entirely made out of the pale, coral substance. Bones, shells and trash lay scattered about the room. The first thing she noticed was what looked like a pair of the rusted canisters from the ship on the ground here as well. The second thing she noticed was the ten-foot tall eldritch horror crawling out of the floor.



<p style="text-indent: 30px"> She dropped her pistol in shock at the monster and almost let out a loud scream. She looked around for a place to hide, hoping the thing hadn't yet seen her. Unfortunately, the only thing within jumping distance was a pile of sodden Penthouse magazines. The monster resembled some massive fish-like humanoid. It stalked toward her, making squishing sounds on the ground. Its feet left imprints in the coral that slowly went away. When it was within ten feet of her, a terrible idea came to her. The small pistol she had brought wouldn't be very effective against this thing unless she knew exactly where to hit it--and her aim wasn't that great. She attempted another tactic, using a hidden nugget of advice from an elderly Illuminati she had met at a party two weeks ago. She put on the biggest smile of her life, yanked the zipper on her scuba down half way, and sauntered a step closer to the thing with her hands on her hips. She could only think that this had better work. Twenty minutes later she sat half-naked next to the sleeping monster, put the P11 against its neck and filled it with metal darts. Back at the University, with a hefty check in hand along with the remains of a monster that netted her an even larger check, <font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e was glad to brag about the solo hunt. The story spread among the Red Dragons and the girl became known for her "monstrous charisma." She found out from the blood of the creature that it had been some aberrant Deep One with some human DNA. After a return trip to pick up the containers she had seen, she still couldn't figure out what had happened. However, a group of Illuminati showed up to confiscate the canisters from her.

<font color="#3366CC">• <font color="#FF0066">Employment <font color="#3366CC">•
After university, <font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e picked up a full time job at the New York Times using the connections she had made. This position was more of a cover for her agency position with the Illuminati. Over the last two years, she's worked to make herself an important member of the press. Her pictures have graced headline events on the front cover of the Times repeatedly. She's one of the few photographers to get a lasting position with the Times although rumours abound that there is something fishy with how she got hired on. In reality, <font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e happened to have compromising photographs of a few board members who were quite eager to help her get a position. She continues to take part in the rave and club scene, but spends more time among the upper-class parties that wall-street brokers, local celebrities, and politicians are fond of--especially the ones where drugs and alcohol run freely. While she's known as a photographer, she's also known as someone who is discrete. Her access to information and people gets her into places for meetings and parties where other journalists would be left outside the door. Of course, the occasional spell and the influence of the Illuminati help greatly as well.

When investigating a situation and planning on getting into some combat, Ravyna also plans to make an impression. She will frequently colour her hair black for expeditions and dress in pure black clothing. While practical, she also adds her own touches to make it more intimidating. Black fingerless gloves, a pair of minor enchanted goggles and a facemask complete her hunting outfit. The goggles are enchanted to enable her to see better in the dark, view spectral shapes that are trying to hide and ignore the effects of sudden bright lights in ruining her vision. Her face mask is mostly intended to be intimidating without much other purpose. When out hunting, <font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e brings several pistols with her including her favorite derringer.

<font color="#0033CC">• <font color="#0033CC">Modified Derringer "Grant" <font color="#0033CC">•
This weapon has a long history as a former Templar weapon. The derringer was one of a handful of weapons commissioned by Ulysses S. Grant to deal with a series of migrant creatures appearing in the United States during his presidency. These monsters were an odd mix of lycanthropy and vampirism that had spread to feral dogs through a virus. The "Canis Lupus Wampyrus" virus was first identified by the Italian Templar  Abramo Isacco Forti who was later poisoned by the Pope after an Illuminati plot succeeded. The pistol, along with several others, was designed to fire special bullets to eliminate the cellular mutation in the creatures and kill them. Its creation also came with a number of special oils that could be applied to the bullets or to the inside of the barrel to aid in application. The pistols were packaged into small, enchanted boxes that would only open to a secret word. The boxes contained the pistol, a blessed stake, several vials of oil already made, the ingredient list for the oils, a syringe for protection against the virus along with two doses of medication and a pair of holy beads blessed by Abramo himself.

<font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e came across the box through accident before joining the Illuminati. She had been digging into a story about a day in D.C. when a swarm of dogs attacked and devoured several citizens. She had heard a rumor that part of the event had been caused by some type of virus. The police had coined the dogs "Canis wraiths" although she had no idea why. While investigating the situation, she came across an old hideout of the Templar in D.C. that had been long abandoned. Inside a secret compartment in the wall, she found a box with a broken lock. The enchantment on the box had been broken over time, but the items inside remained intact.

While <font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e prefers to carry around something that won't make a ridiculous amount of noise or show, sometimes such things are necessary. Even in those situations, however, she prefers something that's easy to conceal. Maggie can be broken down into a small, box-like shape that resembles a portable radio. The weapon is made out of polymer materials making it super light. It has a spring-button mechanism which deploys it rapidly into firing mode.

The X95 rifle can switch between calibers, can make use of a silencer and has an array of different computer-assisted laser sights. Its designed for the close-encounters one might expect in this line of work. Specifications Weight: 6.57 lbs Cartridge: 9mm or 5.56mm Effective Range: 400m

Ferromagnetic Coilgun X7-VIII
There are times when a traditional weapon simply won't do. Firearms tend to be loud and easily identifiable. However, the X7 is a single weapon developed by {redacted} industries for a test. Unfortunately, it was deemed the non-explosive ammunition of these weapons had little real-world military use. Ravyna recognized the weapon as ideal for being silent, resembling a "fake" gun, and being able to propel certain flechettes efficiently. This coilgun is a multi-coil projectile weapon with approximately 3.0 kilo-joules of power.

<font color="#33FF33">• <font color="#0033CC">Loomulik Votmed, Elementum Clavis, The Elemental Keys <font color="#33FF33">•
According to one Estonian legend, many of the stones scattered around Estonia are sacred and magical. These legends descend from Estonian Taarausk or Taaraism which worshiped gods of the earth and forest. Thousands of years ago, the old Estonians would leave sacrifices of blood or currency on these stones in devotion to the god Taara. Odd events through time shows suggestions that this Taara may be some supernatural entity (SE) with powerful elemental magic. The Illuminati, {redacted}, was not the first to recognize the traces Taara left on stones in Estonia, but he was the first to find a use for those traces. Certain stones exhibited incredibly high traces of anima energy that, he theorized, could be used to enhance one's own natural capabilities. {redacted} worked with the House of Fabergé to craft several elemental foci using these stones. Approximately four hundred of these foci were created. These foci were of varying strengths, some qualifying for {redacted} among the Illuminati while others are traded among Class-E and D agents. Each of these keys was attuned to an element. Each key was also created in a set of four, with each key being attuned to the other. Sets of mismatched keys would still work, but at a vastly reduced potential. <font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e came into possession of two of these keys as payment for services rendered to {redacted}. Fortunately for Ravyna, {redacted} was unaware of the power in those keys. The two she possesses are some of the strongest created, although rumors exist of more powerful yet. She has so far been unable to locate the other two. She currently has the the tulekahju (fire) and the õhku (air) keys. When focusing on exclusively air or fire magic using these as her foci, Pixie has anima capabilities of that of a stronger magician. Her fairly weak magical talent is improved twofold in those areas.

More than any other item she owns, her cameras are her passion. Each camera is coated in HzO's waterproofing formula. She keeps a spare camera in her car, in each of her coats, under the fire escape and in her emergency bag. The particular model she keeps on her changes from time to time. However, her current favorite is a Canon Rebel T3i. The camera is a digital AF/AE single-lens with a standard 18-55mm lens. She also has several disguised cameras in the form of pens, watches and earrings.

Maximum Altitude: 25,000 feet Maximum Speed: 190 km/hour Endurance: 48 hours (approximate, variable)

The X7A-8 Sylph is a prototype micro air vehicle (MAV) that is approximately the size of a finch. The custom design is based loosely off of the 20-centimeter MAV created by Tamkang University in 2010. Micro-air vehicles have been under heavy development in the last five years as companies compete to reduce the size of these machines. Fortunately, <font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e knows someone in the field who modified the Tamkang University model with some pieces of Atlantian technology and managed to reduce the size of the MAV even further.

As a prototype, its main flaw lies in the battery charge system. The Sylph charges on magical energy and is prone to random power surges that decrease its endurance by several hours per surge. Despite its flaws, the incredibly small size of the Sylph makes it a modern engineering marvel and one of <font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e 's key surveillance objects.

The Illuminati vaults are filled with numerous acquisitions from thousands and thousands of missions. These items and artifacts can be used rarely, but many are too dangerous. However, many have provided scientific advancement that can improve an agent's performance. <font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e applied for use of ILLUM 713-5 made by Renovo Ltd. ILLUM 713-5 is a liquid concoction that can temporarily boost magic capabilities by several degrees. Ravyna took to calling the concoction 'shim' for its shimmering blue appearance. She has a small case of these vials and has not used any of them yet. The instructions for Shim are kept alongside the vials along with a list of numbers to call in case of situation arising with the drug. For authorized agents, more about ILLUM 713-5 can be found in Acquisition Log: ILLUM 713

For qualified agents of Renovo Ltd only: Experimental Field Report: PX-023 Field Report: “Pixiefly” PX-23 Date: 6/26/2012 Time: 9:15 AM to 4:32 PM Location: Kingsmouth

Afterthought One: Initial field testing performed after engaging a large draug warrior without backup. I felt chances of success were high without use of external aid, but it would make for a good test.

Primary Report:

Agent Pixiefly engaged in informational investigations of Kingsmouth area. Agent was tasked by Agent Phantom to compile a report along with {redacted} as part of {redacted}. Agent Pixiefly engaged minor threats in the area without issue until reaching coastline. Numerous reports have been made of the draug presence in this area. Agent Pixiefly intended to obtain visual recordings and possible live specimen for retrieval under authorization of {redacted}. Rather than follow standard retrieval procedure, Agent Pixiefly engaged contact without regard to backup procedure 17-A. Agent Pixiefly made use of Illum 713-5 (colloquially referred to as “Shim” by Agent Pixiefly) prior to engagement.

As proper procedure, the agent took one vial (as provided by Renovo Ltd.) following instructions in Illum 713-5's manual under Section II, part A.

Results of Engagement: “I felt a surge run through me, like coke mixed with a shot of whiskey. It kinda burns in your stomach even when following procedure. I felt immediately energized and more connected. My electricity and fire magic was much stronger than normal. The first lighting bolt tore through the draug chitin as if it was paper. My typical lightning magic takes a few strikes to get through that chitin. Fire didn't increase in size, but did increase in heat. Most of the fire I threw burned like a welding flame, heating up to ..well it's hard to guess. It had to have been well over 3000C. The flames were pure white. My typical fire is only around 1,600 C or so.”

Final Notes: Agent Pixiefly used ILLUM 713-5 for exactly 00:17:37 whereupon the agent removed ILLUM 713-5 from her system following procedure in Section II, part C of the provided manual. Initial field testing result: Positive and effective for field use.

A metaphysical connection to fire can allow her to detect things that give off heat. She can only do this to things she is either touching, or for herself. In accessing her own inner heat, <font color="#0033CC">P <font color="#9900CC">i <font color="#33FF33">x <font color="#FF0066">i <font color="#CCCC00">e can seemingly conjure fire out of nothing by giving physical manifestation to and increasing her own body's temperature.

Andrus Sepp
Ravyna's father is a quiet, stern man. He was very strict during her upbringing and may be one reason why she rebelled so much as a teenager. She would frequently have to pack the clothing she wanted to wear in her backpack since her father did not approve of the outlandish and sometimes revealing garb she'd dress up in. He disapproves of her piercings and tattoos as well. While stern, however, he was fair and has a grudging respect for the position that his daughter has worked her way to. He came to the states as an immigrant without any special skill, however, he's made his way up the chain in the U.S.P.S and is a middle-manager at the local mailroom in Saddle Rock.

Hele Sepp
Vastly different to her father, Ravyna's mother, Hele, is a friendly and open-hearted woman. She respected and supported Ravyna in all of her endeavors whether it was dressing in bright colours, getting tattoos or chasing after ghosts. She knows a little more than Andrus does about the supernatural, occult activities Ravyna gets up to--at least enough to know that there are things out there best left to people like her daughter. She used to work in retail but has since retired. Between Andrus's salary and the gifts sent by Ravyna, the family can live comfortably. She spends her time as a housewife making clothing and taking care of an expansive garden in the yard.

Contacts
Friends aren't quite a concept Ravyna is perfectly content with yet. A friend means some sort of emotional commitment, something you can't easily cut away in case of a bad deal or a better offer showing up. There are however plenty of people that she likes and prefers to deal repeatedly with.

Li-Hua "Liliya" Xu
Money can get you into the fanciest clubs, the richest hotels and into the most influential parties. However, photography doesn't exactly bring in substantial amounts of cash. Even journalism work at the Times, while a decent wage, doesn't wield the kind of power of money that Pixie always wanted to wield. She has relied heavily on blackmail and knowing the right people. Li-hua just happens to be one of those right people. She interviewed Li for a piece in the Times on rising stars in the financial industry. The interview was formal, with Ravyna only asking about work-related questions. However, Li-hua's skills intrigued her. Ravyna knew a few brokers, and even had investments with some, but she was eager to get a hand in the kind of deals Li-hua seemed to make. They two met at a party shortly after the interview and were both eager to make use of the other's talents so struck up several mutually beneficial agreements. Since then, they've come to enjoy one another's company and hang out in non-work related environments from time to time.

Telephone Hero
Simply having resources doesn't give you the ability to use those resources. Ravyna's had some access with the Venice Information Network and using it to speak to other agents. Recently, she's been using it to expand her arsenal. While she has a number of guns, she only possesses one magical firearm. Telephone Hero was offering to sell enchanted objects. The idea of having a newly enchanted Taurus or other tiny firearm intrigued her, so she poked her nose around. Fortunately, Telephone Hero found something appropriate through her own contacts. Rather than pay in monetary amounts, Pixie instead chose to pay through information. She provided Telephone Hero with photographs and video of {redacted} at his {redacted} birthday party snorting ground incubus {censored} off of several other party members and taking part in a {censored}.

September Collett
Not too long ago Ravyna was contacted by a former advisor at NYU. Sine Carley was part of the graduate school at NYU and had always tried to get Pixie to go for a higher level of education. Pixie had had no desire to continue being in school and decided instead to jump straight into work using the contacts she'd developed through the Red Dragons. Carley had sent Pixie an e-mail about a promising young student who might make a good assistant. A few e-mails were exchanged between Pixie and September and they decided to set-up a lunch date to see how it went. Ravyna planned on recruiting September as a temporary assistant to help take some pictures around New York and to help out another photographer. Additionally, she thought it might be amusing to see someone's face when they came face-to-face with a ghost or other supernatural entity.

Alex Waynewright
[In Progress RP!] Pixie's association with Alex is through only very limited contact. She spoke to him briefly over the Venice Information Network chat. Alex was concerned about several luxurious cruise ships disappearing in the waters near Chile. After expressing interest in the details of the disappearances, Alex offered to pay for Pixie's flight and cruise in exchange for another pair of eyes to watch the ship. Never having been to South America, Ravyna said yes before thinking it through fully.

Kendrick "Rail" Mason
Ravyna's connection to this individual is tenuous at best. A request was passed down through the Labyrinth for Pixie to keep her photogenic eye on a certain individual. Kendrick Mason was suspected of being involved in an illicit organization within the Illuminati. Pixie wasn't given any of the details, told simply to watch, report, and forget anything she saw that was out of the ordinary after reporting it. However, it is suspected that Agent Sepp kept recordings of all of her outings without authorization. Kendrick was observed for a short period before disturbances began. Please see Templar File "Rail" for more information. Following these disturbance, Agent Sepp maintained contact with Kendrick despite being advised against that course of action. See Warning Notice #476 - Sepp for more information. It is believed that Pixie may have had a hand in aiding Mason's escape and has maintained contact due to his capabilities in mercenary work.
