A Scripta

Seagn (not "Shawn" but pronounced that way) is introduced in a story on my website. She's a veterinary student who's a pagan from Salem, Massachusetts. She and her brother Steven come from a long matriarchical line of ancient witches, who have been trained in assorted schools of thought, from Golden Dawn to Native American traditions. Their mother died when they were still in middle school and their father remarried, bringing on a new stepsister. This stepsister abused them in all sorts of ways, and used their power for her own purposes.

Soon enough, Sarah Beckham became “The Witch of Salem” and people flocked to her store to get love potions, money candles, and fortune telling crystals. Hardly any of the trinkets worked, but if you paid enough money she would call in her “assistants” who would make things work.

Meanwhile, Steven had a boyfriend that he had been seeing on the side, without Sarah knowing. After her second year at Becker College, where Seagn was tracked for veterinary training, it was found out that Stephen had contracted AIDS. Sarah sent a note to Seagn telling her not to return to Salem, that everything will be taken care of.

Seagn takes this as a challenge to find her brother. She starts at the usual places, hospitals and the like, but can’t seem to find him. To make a very long story short, she finds herself buying a small animal petting zoo that’s attached to a traveling carnival for the summer, which she uses as a cover to try and find her brother. In addition, she hooks up with a small band of pagan lesbian bikers called the Sidewinders whose leader takes a hankerin’ to Seagn. Okay, biker part was a little far-fetched, but the characters I created for that gang were too fun to throw away. (Grimaulkin’s name is taken from the gang leader – who also was insane but not quite as over-the-top as Grim-in-game.)

So for the CoH venue, Seagn is a pagan biker that’s part of a gang, who is on the search for her brother. The gang numbers 13, with the exception of “mattresses”. Seagn is not the recruiter for the gang, but could very well be in this instance. I might dust off the novella and pull out the characters to use them in altitis attacks.
