Cassidy Callahan
Cassidy Callahan
Cassidy Callahan is a fierce warrior of a woman. For over twenty years, Cassidy has been working underground in Europe as a freedom fighter of sorts against the Fii Uitate, seeking to destroy the order and liberate the supernatural world from the threat of their grasp.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Cassidy has a wiry, agile fitness, built up from years of running and fighting in the close streets of European cities.
Special abilities
Cassidy's magic is drawn from the element of Air.
Her primary power is electrokinesis, or the ability to throw lightning bolts from her hands, although it is unclear in Cassidy's case as to whether this is a witch power or a Fulgurum power (seeing as Cassidy is also the half-demon child of Belphegor). In any case, Cassidy has vast control over the voltage and blast strength of her lightning bolts - she is able to hurl a low-voltage by high-blast bolt capable of knocking someone off their feet but with very little electrical burn, as well as being able to increase the voltage to be able to burn or even kill her targets. Her power as a Fulgurum half-demon is undoubtedly what gives her such control over the power - other witches with similar electrokinetic powers do not have such control over the voltage and blast strength, nor are they able to throw instantly-fatal bolts.
Cassidy's secondary power is a direct progression of her electrokinesis: lightning summoning. She can summon down immense natural bolts of lightning from the sky, which can be used to blind, stun, burn, or even kill her targets. These bolts are far larger and stronger than her electrokinetic bolts, and she does not have the same control over voltage or blast strength as she does with electrokinesis. The power is useful when battling in the open, where she can target enemies hiding behind walls or barriers that her electrokinesis cannot reach; however, a drawback of the power is that it can only be used under the open sky - Cassidy is unable to wield the power indoors or underground. Though the immense energy drains Cassidy, her affinity with lightning as a Fulgurum means that she is not as weakened by the use of this power as she would be without any demonic blood.

Apparel & Accessories
All of Cassidy's clothes are close fitting but easy to move in, and almost exclusively black - the better to move unseen through the night.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Born and raised in Cape Otway, raised by her mother and grandmother. At age 22, Cassidy travelled alone to America, seeking to travel across the country and explore the world. While in New Orleans, she met Finn Barabouss, a witch from a long line of witches, like her. They quickly fell in love and were surprised when Cassidy fell pregnant, and even more surprised that she did not miscarry. When she was nearing the end of her pregnancy, Cassidy and Finn decided to move back to Cape Otway. Cassidy flew home first, leaving Finn to finalise his affairs in New Orleans. He was to follow her, but never showed up. Cassidy believed that she had been jilted, and despaired.
Then, in 1993, Cassidy had a prophetic dream that Finn was alive and being held captive, his powers being siphoned to someone else. She began researching and discovered the secret underworld of the Fii Uitate, and made it her mission to stop them and rescue Finn. She left Diana in the care of her sister Fiona, and left for Europe. Cassidy has rarely returned to Cape Otway since.

Education
Attended high school at Cape Otway State High School
Employment
Cassidy is unemployed, but keeps herself financed with credit card scams and common thievery.
Morality & Philosophy
Cassidy firmly believes that the ends justify the means. She has seen the full extent of the dangers presented by the Fii Uitate mages, and has vowed to stop at nothing to bring down their order. She has killed, tortured, and allied with other criminals in her efforts to achieve this goal.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Cassidy's entire motivation for bringing down the Fii Uitate is to rescue the love of her life, Finn Barabouss. For years, she thought that Finn had abandoned her when he did not show up in Cape Otway as they had planned, until her dream that he was alive and captured.
Virtues & Personality perks
She has an almost single-minded focus and devotion to whatever task she sets herself, and the determination to see it through.
Vices & Personality flaws
Cassidy is extremely stubborn, and goes through life with blinders - focusing only the task at hand to the exclusion of all else. It is this mindset that enabled her to leave her daughter Diana to be raised by her sister Fiona, and to spend the next twenty plus years fighting a powerful secret society of mages.
