• Prélude:
    Once upon a time, there was a special person who could convert life to magnificent objects. These magnificent objects were highly sought after by others, for the power of the objects could completely alter ones life in a spectacular way. The beautiful and always different objects captivated others so much, that the King decided that he would keep the special person locked away so only the king could have access to these magical objects. This angered the people, and a great war began. Not only the people of the Kingdom, but different Kingdom's began to attack in hopes to attain the one who could create these magical objects. As the war waged on, even the King’s most trusted turned on him, wanting the powers that these beautiful objects could possess. After all the fighting and death, a group of people finally made it to the tower’s top to retrieve their prize, the special person, only to find hundreds of names written on pieces of paper. With each name was an object, and the people began to weep. They realized that these names and objects were once a person that they knew or loved. As they continued their search they found one of the most beautiful objects on a rocking chair in the middle of the tower. Near the object was a piece of paper as well that said: “These objects are the lives of people you loved. You fought so selfishly for these magnificent objects but never realized that their beauty comes from the lives that these people had lived. Take them and know their power; to make you like the others, make you normal. They sacrificed themselves for you, do not forsake them.” and it was then that the world would change…

    In this world there exists supernatural beings. Vampires? Yes. Werewolves? Of course. Ghosts? Uh-huh. Monsters? As existent as a human being. How interesting is it? You see them every day, at school, at work, some are even your friends, and yet you haven’t a clue! And you may not have known it but the world is divided into over two-hundred kingdoms, but you will never know because there’s always someone behind the scenes, pulling every string. In your government there are Neutralizers, people of different races who enable the Kingdoms of Gaia to exist peacefully with each other. And of course we have Freers, people who exist to terminate all those who attempt to stir the “peaceful” naivety of humans. But most important in this world are Charmers. Charmers enable every SPB (supernatural being) to take on the appearance of a regular human, and completely diminish cravings for anything that can upset the “balance.” What, of course, does a Charmer do? Charmers produce special objects in thousands of different shapes and types that are worn on an SPB, objects in which house magic, incantations, and enchants that can alter SPBs an a most magical way. Charmers are the “breath” of an SPB’s human life. They exist solely to create these special objects called “sigma” but once their magic diminishes, so does their life. Charmers, unlike the average SPB, must be half SPB and half human, hence the reason why SPB are allowed to walk alongside the humans.

    How long have these beings existed? Since the very beginning they were there. At first, existence of a Charmer was only fabled. Beings who could create such a spectacular object? Impossible, or so it was thought. Does that mean that all offspring of an SPB and Human are Charmers? No, after all, a human and SPB are made to be incompatible, meaning even if one or the other was pregnant the child would never come to term because the mother’s body would unconsciously reject the foreign child. After all, Charmers are only related to their parents by race, but their genetic make up is completely different than their parents. This is the reason why, at first, the child was killed after birth not only because it looked nothing like the child’s parents, but because it took on more attributes of its supernatural parent. Some would be born with fangs, others born with fur, and some born with their flesh see through.

    The life of a Charmer is short, spanning anywhere from six to twenty-two years. Charmers are very special, and every single one that is born is taken to support the growing SPB population. Once the Charmer’s life has been expended to their sigma, they enter “phase” where they turn into a powerful object called a proma, but to date, no one has figured out what they can do, and what powers they behold, only that this is the most precious gem known to exist. Will there ever come a time when this mysterious object’s purpose will be known? There’s yet to be an answer. All that can be told about a proma is it’s difference to sigma and that, perhaps, in the wrong hands it can mean more than the destruction of the world. This is the life, the story of a Charmer and the journey he goes through to find out the true natures of a Charmer, proma, and sigma.
