The Cyberwitch
Ms Maggie Braddock (a.k.a. The Cyberwitch)
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Maggie Braddock maintains a physically unassuming yet agile and resilient form. Her slender build conceals a surprising degree of strength and endurance cultivated through her encounters with adversaries both supernatural and mundane.
Special abilities
Maggie possesses a unique blend of mystical and technological abilities, forged through her harrowing experience with the Ascendancy and her upbringing within a powerful witch's coven. Her remarkable skill set defies conventional wisdom regarding both technology and magic, long-since thought antithetical to one another.
Brought up in the witchcraft traditions of her mother and grandmother, Maggie is able to utilise the skills of an adept, though not masterful, circle witch. She can perform occult rituals, create charms, sigils and runes, invoke blessings, lay down jinxes, hexes and curses, and perform divinations.
Having honed her magical skills within the simulated reality of the Exhelon, Maggie is also able to exert her will on digital devices like computers and smart phones, allowing her to override systems, disable security measures, and interface with digital networks.
The height of Maggie's power however, lies in the point where these two practices meet. In a pinch, she's been shown capable of magically summoning objects from a computer screen into reality, converting solid matter into code, and on one occasion, pulling a person into an Echelon-style simulation of her own creation and under her complete control.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Maggie Braddock's lineage is a tapestry of mysticism and magic, with her grandmother, Nana Beatrice, serving as the venerable matriarch of their coven. Under Nana Beatrice's watchful eye, Maggie's upbringing was a blend of esoteric teachings, arcane rituals, and a deep connection to the ancient arts of the occult.
Maggie's idyllic world of magic came crashing down however, when the Ascendancy, a secretive group of transhumanist fanatics, targeted their coven. Infiltrating their ranks, the Ascendancy saw the coven's mystical energies as a powerful resource for their quest to achieve some sort of divine apotheosis through technology. They developed a sophisticated simulated reality system called "Echelon" to imprison those they thought might have knowledge useful to their cause and unfortunately, the coven certainly fit that criteria.
The Ascendancy's motives were twofold. First, they aimed to harvest the potent magical energies generated by the witches within the simulated reality to fuel their ambitious technological experiments. Second, they viewed the virtual imprisonment as an opportunity to study the witches' practices, hoping to learn their secrets and maybe glean insights into the convergence of their opposing realms.
Maggie, who'd always had a gift for symbol magic above all else, soon realised that her crafts were having a greater impact on their reality than she was expecting. Poking further into it, she was able to peer beyond the veil of their simulated world, realising the reality of their imprisonment. Her experimentation within the virtual world led to the discovery that computer code bore striking similarities to her preferred style of magic. With each breakthrough, her control over the digital realm grew stronger. She eventually managed to breach the confines of the Echelon altogether, leading to her escape from the Ascendancy's grasp.
Once free, Maggie quickly realised that the other members of her coven had been housed elsewhere, and remained imprisoned. She embarked on a quest to locate and rescue her dispersed coven members, vowing to reunite her family. Along her journey, she found that her rare command over both mysticism and technology set her apart from most, and she soon encountered Julia Thompson, a member of the famed monster hunter dynasty.
Julia agreed to help her look for her missing family in return for aiding with her help in her hunts. Recognizing the potential of their alliance, they formed a duo, and soon recruited the wayward priest Gabriel Torres to form The Trinity, a formidable team united by their mission to save Maggie's coven and protect the innocent from the dangers lurking in the shadows.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Maggie Braddock's unwavering motivation stems from a dual quest: to rescue her coven from the clutches of the enigmatic Ascendancy, a transhumanist faction obsessed with technological transcendence, and to harness her mystical technomancy to safeguard innocent lives from supernatural threats. Her relentless drive is fueled by a deep sense of duty to her family's legacy and a commitment to unravel the Ascendancy's hidden agenda, forging a path that weaves together magic and technology in the battle against the unknown.
