The High Priest  A Parker
Part of the inner circle
34 years old male

Only 29 years old you took over this Chapter from D Jordan five years ago. Giving him your wife as a mistress probably eased the transition. Filled with ambition and a hunger to learn, you use the chapter to gain enlightenment. The people around you are there to help you in this pursuit, and although you have friends and lovers you sometimes see the people in your chapter more like functions than real human beings.
Torn by the tricky family politics of juggling your wife and your lover, you feel a great need for control. And it is slowly slipping out of your hands.

The High Priestess M Parker
Part of the inner circle
33 years old female

You used to love your husband A Parker. These days you suspect you hate him. It was all fun and games in the beginning, before he started to go mad. Mad and distant. Now you find yourself trapped in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of crazy people who have completely lost their way. The only ones that makes any sense is your life partner D Jordan and lover J Holland. Things were better when he was in power. Your relationship started with a sign, given to your husband from the powers that be, and grew to something beautiful despite the age difference between you. You cling to that love when everything else is in turmoil. And you know that the two of you were meant to rule. Meant to be in charge. It is just a matter of time, and who knows better than you what your husband’s weaknesses are?

The Old Leader D Jordan
Part of the inner circle
62 year old male

You used to be the leader of this Chapter, then all of a sudden everything changed. You were asked to step down from you position by the Founder. You had little choice and even if the blowback was sweetened by your new lover M Parker it still hurt. 
What was at first a movement infused with youth and ambition has turned into a dangerous hunger for power and enlightenment in your current leader, and you worry. Perhaps you were never meant to step down? Perhaps A Parker is only abusing the privilege given to him so easily? Your lover M Parker who is his legal wife says that the two of you are the ones chosen by the powers that be, and that you should take back control over the Chapter, but you are still hesitating, biding your time.
Although you love her, lately she has started to become too… old for you. Your eyes drifts more and more to the younger new Adepts of the chapter distracting you from politics.

The Ambitious L Gardner
Part of the Inner circle
25 year old female

You are beautiful, and you are aware of it. You are also aware of the power that gives you and you are not afraid to use it. When you first found the church you were broken, a victim. But the newly gained knowledge of the secrets of the church changed that. Now you see your path clearly. You climbed quickly in the ranks, and no one noticed. Playing people against each other, slowly getting closer and closer to the top. Making friends with men like J Holland, recruiting loyal supporters like your puppy P Davies. Sooner or later you will reach your goal. Total control, whether by manipulation or a complete overtaking, and you cannot wait. Then finally you will be truly safe.
Perhaps then the nightmares will stop haunting you, letting you be free once and for all.

The Starchild B Johnson
Part of the Middle Circle 
16 years old any gender

You knew from the moment you were born that you were the new Antichrist. You grew up adored and revered, every childish whim obeyed. Until five years ago when all of a sudden your whole world was turned upside down. Your leader D Jordan stepped down, and instead A Parker took over the church, explaining that you were not Antichrist at all, but just a normal child that now needed to learn its place. The transition has not been easy, and you are filled with resentment. You know now your whole life has been built on lies, but you do not have the power to expose them. Most of the time you just want it all to fall and crumble, the way it did for you 5 years ago. But what power do you have to make a change? Nothing. You are looking for a way out, but you have never lived in the real world and it scares you sometimes. You do not even know where you would start, trying to get away from here.

The Fallen Star I Johnson
Part of the Middle Circle
39 years old female

Once you were the Pale Virgin. Once you were the High Priestess and stood at D Jordans side, ready to bring forth and raise the new Antichrist. You even did. For 11 years you were the inverted Mother Mary and everyone was crawling at your feet, and your child was the Antichrist born to this world. Then, everything went to shit. D Jordan was replaced by A Parker and you and your child were thrown to the bottom of the pile, having to slowly crawl your way back. D Jordan even threw you aside as a lover to replace you with M Parker, and your resentment knows no bounds. You hate them all, you see through their lies, but you have no way out. Trapped in a church you no longer believe in with nowhere to go you are torn between the urge to make it all burn and the fragile hope of starting again somehow, finding love and consolation.

The Recruiter F Worthing
Part of the Middle Circle
24 years old any gender

You found the church through J Holland, after meeting him when you sent in a short story to one of the pulp fiction magazines he was an editor for. He quickly became a mentor for you. You had always dreamt about fantastic things, now he showed you that these things might not be fantasies at all, but reality. You found a home with the church, a family. Safety. And you are dedicated to showing more new souls the way. You are good at it too – charismatic, young and approachable. And you have no scruples using that to attract more people to the church and the true path. Within the walls of your home you feed on the feeling of being adored and wanted. Of feeling special. You are not the one to keep to one source for that attention and confirmation that is like fuel to you.

The Secret keeper H Wren
Part of the Middle circle
58 years old any gender

You are the one who listens. No one seems to mind sharing with you, and you don’t mind listening. You lost your own voice a long time ago. Your church is built on honesty, but still there are the things no one dares speaking about, not even during the Sharings. But they tell you, and you gather these truths and secrets like small sparkling jewels. They are the real power. You know that and the leaders know that. The circles are just a sham. The true power lies in listening. You could use it if you wanted. You haven’t yet though. No… for now you are just biding your time. Because you like it here! You like this life. The community. This is your family and here you can indulge in anything or anyone you want.  So instead you collect these secrets like weapons to keep, for whenever the foundation starts to crack, so that when the tower falls, you can make sure it falls the way you want it to.

The Poet W Langley
Part of the Middle circle
64 years old any gender

If you believe in the church? Well sometimes you do… What you always believe in though, is art. And your poetry has greatly benefited from the church and living at the Mansion. You feel like Byron and Shelley sometimes. All you are missing is some more artists that can help you in your creative pursuits. Then again, the creativity of the leaders in coming up with new rituals and dogmas is… baffling and impressive. You are here, not like so many others that have nothing else, but because this is all you ever really wanted. Sex, parties, inspiration. And you are willing to do a lot to protect that. Even worship Satan if that makes everyone else happy. Lately your inspiration has started to run dry though, and your trips on Peyote have started to run longer and weirder. Are you slowly losing your mind to decadence? Or is the drugs truly the key to unlock your inspiration once more?

The Scientist C Goldstein
Part of the Outer circle
35 years old any gender

You were always a researcher, someone who wanted to reach further than anyone had gone before. You were clever, a brilliant mind with new ground-breaking ideas. This led you into research in rocket fuel. It was an obvious career for someone like you but your mind was bigger than bias and prejudice. You wanted to help do something that changed the world. Helping man reach outer space was the perfect way of doing it. You never liked being restricted by conventions so when you found Magick and the church you realized that there was potential there. Untapped raw power. You dove quickly and deeply into the esoteric. Perhaps the world isn’t ready for your mind, and ideas, but A Parker certainly is and you, ever driven to do something bigger and better, feel like you have found your path. A combination of Science and Magick will be the way to a new brighter world.
Your studies and your magickal work is only distracted by your relationships to some of the others in the commune. Your budding feelings for I Johnson, and H Wren’s relentless attention to you that you cannot escape.

The Diplomat G Marks
Part of the Outer circle
36 years old male

You always felt restless in your life. Never content. Until you met F Worthing. The day F came into your life was the day everything changed. You fell in love completely and utterly. You would have followed F anywhere, and you did, leaving a marriage, children, a brilliant career, all for F. Now you are here and F is not yours, but… everyone’s apparently and you are frustrated and torn between wanting to stay and fight for F’s affection or just give up and leave. Not that you have much out there. You used to be a diplomat, and that gave you useful skills. However you left that life and burnt the bridges for F’s sake. Instead you try to negotiate peace in the commune. You know how to find common ground between fighting parties. And there are a lot of fighting parties here. Meanwhile you are forced to see F together with their new recruit feeling discarded, well aware you are surrounded by insane people believing in a false Prophet. You feel trapped with nowhere to go, no money, no safety and no friends except the dysfunctional family you are trying to keep peace in.

The Outcast T Jones
Part of the Outer Circle
18 years old any gender

All you ever wanted was a family that didn’t try to tear you apart. You never understood it, your god abiding family who believed in the cane but never loving thy neighbor. You ran away from the hell that was your strict controlling parents over two years ago. Working as a farm hand for a year you heard about the commune. About the strange people living there, about the community. And you felt it, the calling. About a year ago you came and knocked on the door and asked to be taken in. J Holland immediately saw the potential in you and took you under your wing. You quickly entered into a relationship with him, and you had ever felt so loved and so safe. Unfortunately the love was selfish.
D Jordan saw that in you. How you wanted J above everyone else and to save your soul, and help your journey to enlightenment D Jordan suggested you should move out of the bedroom to the sofa in the living room. You miss J but you understand how necessary the separation is. To teach you and help you grow. You are very thankful to D Jordan for helping you better yourself.

You are craving affection, attention and approval from the leaders of this new family you are a part of, and you are willing to cross many boundaries in order to get it.

The Lost S Clark
Adept
19 years old any gender

You grew up being a child prodigy. You hated it then, but once it was lost you grew to long for the feeling of importance and meaning it gave you. The older you get, the more lost you feel in the world. Growing very sick, almost dying as a teenager did not help this at all.
When F Worthing came into your life you felt like maybe this could be the thing you had been missing for so long. A way to balance the fear and the feeling of pointlessness that festers inside you. You are fiercely protective of your younger sibling E Clark, but you also feel like there is a rift between you. You feel indebted to them, from the way they always had to stand in your shadow when you were growing up, and now is the time you need to make amends, but at what cost? When you first came her, brought by F Worthing you thought this would be a home for you and your younger sibling. But now you start to wonder, if it might just be another kind of prison.

The Found E Clark
