The Glitch-Witch
Background:
Lydia Eaton was born in Sin City, a desert paradise of hot days and long nights. Her albinism, a natural sensitivity to the harsh Nevada sun, ironically drove her indoors, where she found solace in the worlds of fantasy and the limitless possibilities of technology. A gifted intellect led her to discover a knack for computers and coding, while her love of fantasy drew her into the research and study of real-world lore, witchcraft, and paganism. As a teenager, she discovered her latent magical talents, a revelation that solidified her path.
Blending magic with modern technology became second nature to Lydia. She immersed herself in Neo-Shamanism, Techno-Paganism, and Technomancy, forging her own unique and experimental branch of magical practice. She sees the digital realm as a modern extension of the natural world, a place where magic and technology intertwine.
Her distinctive cyber-goth/industrial goth style is a reflection of her multifaceted identity. Necessity dictated that she protect her sensitive skin from the Las Vegas sun, but she transformed this need into a powerful form of self-expression. Black leather, LED lights, long, thick braids dyed in vibrant hues, heavy goggles, and a gas mask became her signature look – a blend of sci-fi, fantasy, post-apocalyptic, and cyberpunk influences. And, of course, she weaves subtle magical protections into her clothing and counts several techno-magical talismans among her jewelry and accessories. She is, after all, a witch.
Lydia wouldn't call herself a hero, but she feels a deep responsibility to use her magic and hacking skills for good. She understands the hidden world of magic and the dangers it poses to those without such knowledge – a world of warlocks, werewolves, vampires, faeries, demons, spirits, and countless other monsters. She also recognizes the dangers of unchecked super-science, rogue AIs, bleeding-edge technology in the wrong hands, and the mad geniuses who threaten the world. She feels uniquely qualified to battle both, believing that to use her powers otherwise would be a violation of her vows as a Wiccan, as one who walks the path of the Wise. Like the healers, soothsayers, and banishers of old, she sees herself as a witch who must use her magic to aid her community and the world.
Whether she's hacking a vampire lord's accounts to bankrupt him, using a spirit to hack and possess a rogue AI to neutralize its threat, or using a tech-hex to cause an enemy's advanced gear to suffer inexplicable failures, Lydia blends ancient magical ideals with modern technology to create a unique and unpredictable style of problem-solving. Her eclectic blend of powers makes her a nightmare for both purely magical and technological criminals. She is the one and only Glitch-Witch of Las Vegas, a protector of the balance between worlds.
Lydia is driven by a desire to understand the hidden connections between technology, magic, and the human experience. She seeks to unravel the mysteries that lie at the intersection of these seemingly disparate worlds, using her skills to help those who are caught between them – the victims of supernatural forces, the targets of technological abuse, the lost souls searching for answers in the shadows.
Personality:
She is intelligent and curious, with a thirst for knowledge that drives her to explore both the digital and mystical realms. She is fiercely independent and embraces her outsider status, using it as a source of strength and creativity. She is passionate about her pursuits, whether she is coding a new spell, researching ancient lore, or crafting a killer DJ set.
Despite her edgy appearance and her connection to the supernatural underworld, Lydia is not inherently dark or malicious. She has a strong sense of justice and a deep empathy for those who are marginalized and misunderstood. She uses her skills to help those who are caught between the cracks of society, offering them a lifeline in a world that often seems indifferent to their struggles.
She cultivates a mysterious and enigmatic persona, revealing only glimpses of her true self to those she trusts. She is wary of those who would judge her for her appearance or her beliefs, preferring to keep her own counsel and operate on her own terms. Beneath her cool exterior lies a passionate and driven individual, committed to unraveling the mysteries of the universe and using her knowledge to make the world a better place, one glitch at a time.
