Chronicles of Light and Shadow—an updated wip intro!

Basic info

Genre: young adult, fantasy, comics, a dash of romance

Themes: Grief, mental illness, trauma, found family

Content/Trigger warnings (as is currently planned to occur): depression and suicidal thoughts, self-destructive behaviors, abuse (emotional, verbal, physical), homophobia (not a common theme in the story, but occurs frequently enough that it’s worth mentioning)

Summary

Welcome to the Avrinth [Note: Avrinth is a placeholder name] school of Magical Arts, a private school dedicated to teaching the next generation of mages to control and harness their magical abilities and talents during some of the most chaotic years of their lives.

Mary Ross is the youngest of one of the Four Families, the most powerful mage bloodlines still existing. But her older sister, Charlotte is the one who carries the responsibilities of their family’s influence—which is fine with Mary, who prefers the safety of living unnoticed in her family’s shadow.

But when Charlotte unexpectedly passes away, Mary learns the truth about the Four Families—each one carries the power of ancient, terrifying entities in their blood, and now she carries with her the power and consciousness of a deity of light—a power and a burden that she was never meant to even know about.

-

Eden has no memories before two years ago.

She’d be lying if she said that she wasn’t curious about her missing past, but she’s content to remain oblivious and live her life looking forward—that is, until her memories start returning to her anyway, each one darker than the last. Eden knows she’s forgotten something important, something that she must uncover.

And she has the most terrifying feeling that she won’t like what she finds.

Characters

Mary Ross: youngest daughter of one of the Four Families, but she’s largely left forgotten and unnoticed. Mary prefers being alone, and values intelligence and knowledge over pretty much anything else. Prior to receiving the power of light, she specialized in storm and electric magic.

Charlotte Ross: Mary’s older sister. Charlotte is much more outgoing than her little sister, and is well loved by most people who meet her. Every mage has heard the name Charlotte Ross, though, even if they’ve never met her.

Eden Delaney: a cheerful, childish girl, likely due to the fact that she’s not burdened by memories of her past. Eden is a special case, because her magic is underdeveloped and this makes it difficult to determine her magical specialty. She is, however, assumed to be a fire mage, and is being trained as such.

Grant Bay: The second-born of one of the Four Families. Grant was close friends with Mary when they were growing up, but a couple of years before the story he and his oldest brother, Uriah, left their family to live with Uriah’s partner. No one is quite sure why. Grant is very popular among the students, in large part due to his easygoing attitude and his charming personality. Grant’s specialty is enhancement magic.

Duncan Brooks: Duncan is cold, stubborn, and rude, and has difficulty getting along with people even when he tries—so he doesn’t try. He and Eden have a bit of a rivalry caused mostly by her trying to purposely one-up him out of spite, and him being competitive in return. Duncan’s magical specialty is nature.

Cyrus Brooks: Cyrus is Duncan’s younger brother and one of Eden’s first friend at Avrinth. Cyrus is much more widely liked than Duncan. He’s very laidback, care-free, and agreeable, and you’d be hard-pressed to find someone in the school who didn’t like him. Cyrus’s specialty is illusion magic.

Lexi Moore: Mary’s roommate and a wannabe journalist—but above that, someone who values the truth. Lexi will do anything to uncover secrets and corruption in the world, and that starts with the school. She fully believes there’s something sinister happening here, and she intends to find out what it is. Lexi’s magical specialty is psychic magic.

Dex Ramirez: a local mechanic, Dex has no magic whatsoever. Their only connection to the school are their friends, Lexi and Duncan, and they aren’t eager to change that. Magic seems to unnerve them, although they don’t have anything against mages specifically.

Daria: Eden’s roommate, and a bit of a “mean girl” type character—but only when she’s around her friends. Otherwise, she’s nice (if a bit arrogant)

Lucas Delaney: Eden’s older brother. He’s much more reserved and cold than she is, and he’s protective of Eden, although you wouldn’t guess it from how coldly he treats her.

Uriah Bay: Grant’s older brother. They’re very similar in personality, in the sense that they share traits like their charm and kindness, but Uriah is a little quieter and less idealistic.

Ash: Uriah’s romantic partner. Ash is blunt and sarcastic, the kind of person that most people struggle to get along with, but it seems that under all of that they have a heart of gold.

If you’re interested, from now on, I’ll be keeping a list of people who tell me they want to be tagged in content related to Chronicles of Light and Shadow. This will include art, character intros, and short excerpts and writing prompt answers.

Dex: When someone points at your black clothes and asks whose funeral it is, having a look around the room and saying 'Haven’t decided yet' is typically a good response.

Dex: Schrödinger’s cat is overrated. If you wanna see something that’s both dead and alive you can talk to me any time of the day.

-

Eden: Who thinks I can fit 15 marshmallows in my mouth?

Castle of Roses

Crispin: I’ve come to a point in my life where I need a stronger word than fuck.

-

North: People are always asking me if I'm a morning person or a night person.

North: And I'm just like, 'Buddy! I'm barely even a PERSON!'

-

North: Well, well, well... if it isn’t my old friend: the dawning realization that I fucked up bad.

-

North: My life isn’t as glamorous as my wanted poster makes it look like.

-

Thorne: You saved me. I owe you my life.

North: No thanks. I’ve seen it and I’m not very impressed.

-

Crispin: You're right.

Thorne: Try again.

Crispin, sighing: I will stop North from getting punched.

Wip: NSI

Amilia: I’m sick and tired of being called 'mortal' like, you don’t know that. Neither do I. I have never died even ONCE. Nothing has been proven yet. Stop making assumptions. It’s rude.

-

Amilia: Fool me once, I’m gonna kill you

-

Amilia: Well, well, well... if it isn’t my old friend: the dawning realization that I fucked up bad.

-

Amilia: 'Person of interest' is almost too flattering.

Amilia: Like, if the police were to pound on my door and go, 'A man has been murdered in your building and you are a person of interest,' I'd be like, 'Moi? Oh, do go on.'

-

Amilia: I’d like to offer you moral support, but I have questionable morals.

-

Amilia: Goodnight moon.

Amilia: Goodnight tree.

Amilia: Goodnight ghosts that only I can see.

-

Ezra: Can you keep a secret?

The Alchemist: Do you know anything about my life?

Ezra: No I do not. Good point.
