General Appearence: Tall and statuesque, Darkchilde exudes poise, and a wintery elegance. Her body is trim, fit and firm. She favors such designers as Donna Karan, Cavlin Klein, Jones New York, Gucci and Prada. In the day time when she is not wearinag her body contouring eldritch armour, DC is often seen in chic, tailored "power suits" with high hemlines and plunging neck lines. She often displays her long flawless legs and is rarely seen in anything less than 4 inch heels. At DC favors black, chic avante garde ensemble when she frequents XS. Never predicatable and always cutting edge with her style...DC is known for her fashion savvy and her stylish presentation. Possesing a wintery elegance with her smooth olive skin and icy violet eyes....Darkchilde is a woman of true icy beauty.
Personality: Confident and moderately lofty, Darkchilde KNOWS she possesses incredible arcane might and is NOT afraid to unleash that power when defending her loved ones or striking down her enemies. She is ruthless in her ambition and will to succeed and will stop at nothing to destroy her foes. Using her wintery elegant and sexy looks and her feminine charms, DC has no problem with deftly manipulating the minds of feeble men whom she usually destroys when she is through using them. Her icy exterior is intriguing to many but often intimidating to MOST individuals she comes across. Much like the Charmed Ones' Prue Halliwell in the Sisterhood of the Wraiths, Darkchilde is the oldest and strongest. She is loving but firm with her sister wraiths. With her charges in the Masters of Evil she is warm and encouraging but DEMANDS the utmost effort in training and battle. She runs the MoE with a firm hand and an icy edge that has earned her the respect of her peers and the fear from her foes. DEEP beneath the icy, bitchy exterior there lies a core of sorrow and regret....the part of her that has remained untouched through out her years of change and progression....only those closest to her will ever see a glimpse of this poignant part of her personality.
History: In the year of 1975, a beautiful young sorceress name Karen V. Victoria with an affinity for elemental magick came to the attention of the Dire Wraiths. The Dire Wraiths were in fact those of the legend, a sisterhood of space traveling sorceress with NO morals and an abundance of dark destructive magick power. For centuries they had tried to conquer Earth but were always repelled by the powerful practicioners of various forms of Magick from Earth who worked together to defeat the Wraiths. Through the young Karen Victoria, the Wraiths finally realized the way to conquer earth...........do it through a being OF the Earth.
The Wraiths summoned one of their male subserviants.....imbuing him with the seed of immense dark power and wrapping him in human male form...they dispatched him to Earth to find and court Karen Victoria. The "male" seeker did find the sorceress, courted and married her. In the fall of 1976 they conceived and 9 months later , in may of 1977 a most unusual event occurred.........in the hospital where Karen lay.....in AGONY....the skies around the hospital raged......swirling as jagged bolts of black lightning struck around the hospital and shook the foundation of the earth itself. The birthing process for Karen was that of pure agony as she trevailed in the hospital room........and at the moment she delivered her DAUGHTER....a rift in space opened in the room..........a HELLHOUND emerged....attacking and killing Karen's "husband", who the wraiths no longer needed as he had fullfilled his purpose. Karen, half dead with terror couldnt believe what she was seeing as she cried for help. The Hellhound then advanced toward her......intending to take her newborn child. Karen, in fear of her life and the life of her child called on what little strength she had to use her elemental magick..........holding the beast at bay long enough that he finally gave up and departed. At that moment...the wild atmospheric disturbances subsided.....the tremors stopped and Karen fainted in her bed as the medical staffed rushed in to help her and her new born who was now wailing. This nightmare all heralded the arrival of Farrah Victoria and the surprise of Karen fighting back against the hell hound was something the Wraiths hadnt expected....and this majorly foiled their ultimate plans.
As the years passed....Karen had moved her daughter to a posh, secluded suburb in the northern area of metro detroit michigan........Farrah grew up....attending posh private schools and living a very secure, comfortable life...under the watchful eye of her mother. She even began to learn aspects of magick from her mother...but as Farrah began to display an affinity for magick...Karen worried that whatever was responsible for her father's hellish death would one day return for her AND Farrah.....she didnt know exactly what or WHO was responsible but her senses told her that Farrah's magick was some kind of beacon for outside forces.........fearing for her daughter, Karen cast a binding spell on Farrah....restricting her magick. The years continued to pass....Karen was gripped by the pain of her husband's death....and fear/paranoia that it could happen all over again...and worse, as her daughter grew older she seemed to gain a darker countenance..becoming more agressive and hostile even with her friends and loved ones. the ONLY person whom Farrah did NOT lash out at was her Mother. Farrah was a beautiful young lady but quite intimidating .....striking fear into the hearts of fellow classmates, would be suitors and anyone who displeased her.
On the eve of her 18th birthday, Farrah returned home....suffering from a horrible headache..she believed she was hallucinating because of the pain when she began to see spirit forms........images of evil and hearing voices from "Another place". she slowly made her way to her room..........trying to ignore this "pull" she felt from the hallucinations. As she lay down....she soon fell into a deep sleep. Soon........she unknowingly activated her own unique power for the first time as a "stepping disc"....a circular portal of unknown energy opened beneath her bed and one reality gave way to another in the blink of an eye as the disc closed and teleported the sleeping young Farrah to another dimension outside of time and space............Farrah awakened to find herself in a pitch black dimension.......cold and unfeeling...with howling, sparkling icy winds that whipped all around the endless expanse. She stood up.....not showing any reaction.........just looking around as though she were at home. She began to walk forward....not taking but a few steps before she stepped into ANOTHER disc....and found herself inside a beautiful, MASSIVE, intricately decorated castle. Their was this eerie hush........only the sound of her heart beating and her foot steps as she walked along the massive corridors. She found herself oddly at ease......passing this off as an elaborate dream. she suddenly found herself surrounded by 4 large, shadow like creatures with intimidating stature. Farrah, with surprising boldness, DEMANDED to know who they were and where she was. The Wraiths took great delight and confronting Farrah with the truth of who she was........who her father was and why he had been killed and what her ultimate purpose was to be. Farrah was stunned by the revelations that made startling and painful sense..........and in her moment of weakness the Wraiths attempted to subjugate her. Farrah fought back.....dispelling the bindings placed by her mother as she called upon her magicks to fend off the Wraiths. She defied them and was determined to come to terms with what she had learned in her own way. The Wraiths were shocked that their intended pawn had such a strong will. Farrah left Limbo and returned to her home via stepping disc. She now knew this was no dream....it was REAL and what she had seen....felt and been told by the Wraiths was all painfully true. She was more alive than she ever felt before...but now her heart ached with grief knowing that her life up to this point had been little more than a lie....her mind raced with a bit of fear...wondering if she had in fact gone insane. She soon was taken over by bitterness as she abandonned all fear and vowed to destroy the Wraiths for what they had done to her family. She realized that now the Wraiths could come for her....and that even her mother was in danger due to her dark nature and heritage. To spare her mother further pain and grief, Farrah decided to LEAVE her home. She activated her stepping disc once more, teleporting into her mother's room where Karen lay sleeping peacefully. Farrah gazed upon her mother in the moon lit room......her hand over her heart as it panged with grief. She held her other hand over her mother....and it glowed as she cast her first spell....that of "mind control" to erase her mother's memory of who Farrah was.......who her Father was and the nightmare that occurred in 1977. Farrah wanted to take away all the pain that had plagued her mother for the last 18 years. When the spell completed.......Farrah stepped back...and nearly cracked with grief......she yearned for another way but she knew this was the best thing.........a tear rolled down her cheek as she turned her back on her mother and teleported out of the only home she ever knew for the last time.
Now a young adult, Farrah began to travel the world, using her "stepping discs" and honing her control over them...she could navigate vast distances in the blink of an eye...and even travel THROUGH time and space. Taking the name
Magik, Farrah embarked on many adventures, meeting beings that many ordinary humans didnt believe existed. All the while honing her magickal powers. 4 years had passed, as the result of many personal capers and adventures, Magik was now known by such powerful beings as Dr. Strange who was fascinated with her own unique ability to manipulate time as well as her high potential for "eldritch magick". Magik's ability to travel through time AND space gained her the attention of beings named
Ikaris,
DG Hecate and
Morganna. These beings approached Magik and offered her the chance to focus on developing her magick power to its utmost. Magik realized that this was the opportunity she needed to prepare to strike out in vengeance against the Dire Wraiths who thus far had been unsuccessful in their attempts to capture her. Magik joined the
Academy of Demonic Arts. Taking the name
Darkchilde, Farrah abandonned all her personal inhibitions about exploring her dark nature as she dived into training. Testing her body , her teleporting and magickal powers to their limits and RAISING those limits under the tutulage of Ikaris, Darkchilde became a formidable fighting force.......combining a cutting edge personal style with hard hitting, savage tactics. With the help of Ikaris, Darkchilde made a landmark achievement when she channeled and focused the TOTALITY Of her arcane eldritch magick to form a weapon of mystical might and violence.......the
Soul Sword. This blade could dispell any magickal enchantments and gravely wound or KILL any being who was of magick or used it. It was the key to her ultimate goal. Several years passed and Darkchilde left the Academy of Demonic Arts. Wasting no time, she returned to Limbo....launching a suprise one woman assault on the Dire Wraiths themselves. Calling upon her now deadly magicks, her agility, super strength and other abilities gained in the ADA, Darkchilde lashed out with a ferocity that both shocked and even alarmed the Dire Wraiths. They defended themselves and at the peak of the battle, Darkchilde manifested her Soul Sword. The Wraiths were no match as Darkchilde wielded the blade with dexterity and technique...soundly defeating the Wraiths, she humiliated them as she drove them OUT of Limbo and into the void of the cosmos.
The defeat of the Dire Wraiths was the ultimate achievement for Darkchilde. She had avenged her Father , garaunteed her mother's safety and life of peace AND won total freedom from any outside manipulation. Darkchilde now took her rightful place as the new ABSOLUTE mistress of the mysterious dimension Limbo....she took two years to rest in Limbo, finally coming to terms with all that had taken place in her young life. Her life was now finally HERS to control. Her future seemed more certain.
Darkchilde returned to earth after two years...now operating from Limbo, she resumed adventuring, challenging herself and seeking new knowledge of beings and things that were beyond normal mortals. As time passed.......she befriend many of the beings that she encountered along the way...some of whom joined with her to form
The Masters of Evil. Under Darkchilde's leadership, along with a new sisterhood of Dire Wraiths,.a new generation of evil in the tradition of the Academy of Demonic arts has formed and continues the ages old struggle to destroy the pestilence of Good.
