chrissy info - mage (bloodmage, possessed)
chrissy grew up in a very secluded community, and was labeled as an outcast due to the fact she lets a fade spirit possess her body and because she uses blood magic, arguably one of the worst kinds of magic you can use. she leaves the community and moves to hawkins in hopes that people will treat her better. she doesn’t use blood magic to harm people willy-nilly, she uses it against enemies during battle and nowhere else. the main reason blood magic is frowned upon as an evil/bad magic is because you can use it to control people, but she only uses it against enemies. her spirit used to be endlessly angered by the fact that chrissy refuses to use the magic elsewhere, but eventually has been tamed and calmed by how good chrissy is. she was actually introduced to the magic by jason, because it was her community that he had traveled to. he convinced her to start using blood magic, and because you kind of corrupt your magic after using it once, you can’t really stop using it. anyway, she only gets away from jason because a) jason leaves and b) her community(family) kicks her out before he returned

wills info - mage (healer)
will grew up in hawkins with the rest of the younger party, apart from max. he presented with magic quite early, compared to most other people, and secretly he thought it was because a spirit followed him around. he caught glimpses of wispy blue out of the corner of his eye, but never properly saw any spirit. when he came of age where mages usually presented, he ended up actually falling into the fade (because of how magically inclined he is, he’s technically a spirit walker because el is actually his deceased twin—she died as an embryo, causing joyce to believe she miscarried a child before will, but they were in the same pregnancy. anyway, because he’s so close to the veil, other powerful mages could sense him and thus henry sensed him and wanted to kill him, used his owndemon to do it but failed obvi, he’ll try again in the fic before being captured and turned tranquil) and the only reason he was able to escape was because the spirit who had been following him around helped him find his way home, and then called herself eleven, why, will never found out, but often she went by el instead. he’s particularly close with mike, obviously, and the boy was the first person outside of family and hopper that will saw.
els info - mage (fade spirit)
eleven was never born, although she remembers when will was born and it was like she was too. as a young spirit, she didn’t really know what else to do besides follow will, her living twin, around. she understood they were connected, and felt power coming out of not only her but will too, although she didn’t know what to do with it, being as young of a spirit as she was. she didn’t really have a form, but she could look however she wanted to. as she watched will grow, she grew with him, even as her understanding of what she was came to fruition, she continued to follow her brother. when the day came that she could sense her brother was in the fade, she didn’t hesitate to find him because he wasn’t supposed to be there too, and then she was helping him escape from henry and his pride demon and eventually how to escape the fade, except when she got will there, he asked her to come too, and she agreed. and then she was will’s age and she was a little girl but also not and she had a whole family, something she longed for in the fade, so she sticks around.

dustins info - echanter/tinkerer
dustin wasn’t magical, but he could infuse things with magic, which is how he creates his weapons/trinkets, and argyle teaches him a lot. he grew up in Hawkins, and he is the first to see robin and steve in the city and befriend them. he’s not sure if ‘befriend’ is the right word, though, because he’s pretty sure he refused to leave steve alone and then they were close as brothers. dustin’s mom let him and robin stay at their house for a while, so steve often goes to the hendersons to have dinner with her. dustin loves it. he’s also the kind of person who finds a dead body of some monster that was killed hours earlier and does experiments on it, and uses it to do other experiments. he’s very smart, and he knows it. he’s also strangely gifted at creating enchantments that by all means should not work, but do, and this is mostly because he’s self taught, aside from what argyle teaches him.

eddie info - warrior (lyrium, gauntlets)
eddie is an elf, and he doesnt have memories before the ritual in which gave him his markings, so he doesn’t know much about his past. all he knew was serving under Jason, as the mages personal bodyguard, mana container, etc. he was also kind of like a show pony, so he was always dressed up (but still deadly, should the need arise). then, Jason is invited to go to a different kingdom across the ocean, and couldnt bring any additional people, so Eddie was forced to be left behind. and in the three years that Jason is gone, Eddie learns abt freedom through the Hellfire Guild, but then Jason returns and hellfire is gonna fight for eddie and jason is like ‘lol watch this’ and then orders eddie to kill all of hellfire and then he DOES and then runs away from jason to Hawkins, where he hides away in an abandoned mansion, which is owned by Wayne, who took eddie in once he made it to Hawkins and gave him the mansion upon his death. the man had been sick when they met, and by then, the sickness was too far along to heal. eddie starts the fic out hating steve because he’s a mage and throughout the fic learns to tolerate and then love him.
