June Moone is a woman perpetually at war with herself. She and the Enchantress have been battling for control of their shared body for the better part of a decade, and the scars are beginning to show. June struggles to find some semblance of normalcy in her life, some way to ground herself in the real. Knowing how often she has to give over control, how frequently she's forced to be a prisoner in her own body, she strives to savour every moment of her freedom, the sweet as well as the bitter. Though even that has begun to fracture, as she sees more and more of her life overtaken by the will of others. How long before she can no longer find her way back to the real? How long before she can taste only ashes? Gone is the hopefulness of youth. In its place is a woman hardened by battle, by pain, by the ever-present fear that the next time she gives over control to the demon within her, it will be the last time.
The Enchantress, an ancient, powerful, and malevolent being is…as she has always been. Angry, avaricious, duplicitous, conniving, evil. Though that word, evil, means little to her. She is power and dominion. She is. That is all. And she looks forward, always, to the day when she can break the bond that exists between herself and her human host and finally achieve her ascendancy. She serves those who have enslaved her because she must, and every day plans her retribution on a world which has not given her her due.
Transformation |
June has the ability to transform into the Enchantress at will. She needs only to speak the creature's name to call her forth. When she does so, she relinquishes all control over her body, and is completely unable to act or communicate in any way with the outside world. The Enchantress, who has always enjoyed twisting the knife, makes certain that June can see and hear everything that she does while the Enchantress has control of her body, often using it to torture the woman, especially in those moments when she finds a way to take for herself or destroy something that June might have wanted. While the Enchantress cannot come out without June's conscious and willing use of her name, June cannot call her back, and the Enchantress only relinquishes control of their body when she must. The speaking of her own name will transform the Enchantress back into June. |
Teleportation |
The Enchantress possesses the ability to teleport to any location on the plane of existence on which she currently resides. The longer the distance between where she is and where she wants to be, the more energy it takes to teleport. She doesn't need to have seen or have personal knowledge of the place where she needs to go beforehand, however, she must be able to obtain knowledge of the location either through being given a description of the location or through seeing it in someone else’s mind. The more familiar she is or becomes with a place, the easier it is for her to teleport there. She possesses the ability to teleport herself across vast distances, as well as to move across small spaces, something which gives her quite an advantage in battle, as she can often flit from place to place on the field of battle, sowing havoc in her wake. |
Telepathy |
The Enchantress possesses the ability to see into the minds of others, to read their thoughts, and to seek out those needs, wants, and desires that she can use to manipulate someone into doing her bidding. She can communicate mentally, as well as create dreams, waking and sleeping that seem absolutely real to the person whom she is manipulating. |
Phasing |
The Enchantress possesses the ability to phase through solid matter, and most mundane barriers have no ability to bar her entry or egress. This ability also allows her to become intangible to anyone attempting to touch or capture her. |
Empathy |
The Enchantress, as well as being able to enter someone's mind telepathically, possesses the ability to sense, and to a greater degree manipulate the emotions of those around her. Hate, fear, love, subservience…she will weave emotions to aid herself or to damage her enemies. |
Necromancy |
The Enchantress possesses the power of necromancy. This can manifest itself in a number of ways. She might raise an army of the dead to serve her, a shambling horde that knows no will but her own. Or she might bring a person back to life, whole and intact. She might even summon a spirit or ghost and command their service. She must, of course, have something to work with. She can't raise the zombie without a corpse, for example. |
Supernatural Augmentation |
The Enchantress possesses supernatural immunity, as well as preternatural speed, strength, and reflexes. She can withstand engagements with even the world’s strongest opponents. She can also heal at a preternatural rate, so that even heavy weapons or super powers will not keep her down for long. Her own magical abilities provide her varying levels of immunity to the magics of others. |
Sorceress |
As a sorceress, the Enchantress has an expansive list of skills in her arsenal. As old and as skilled as she is, she’s mastered most of the mystical arts, including, but not limited to healing, telekinesis, flight, chronokinesis, weather manipulation, and elemental control. She can craft spells and magics which allow her powers and abilities which are only limited by her imagination. And she has a great deal of imagination. |
Bleed-through |
The two women have been so long trapped in the same body, that June has begun to notice that she can, on occasion perform some small magics, as she, usually unconsciously, taps into the Enchantress' sorcery. This normally only happens in extreme circumstances, or when June is under great duress. |
Archaeologist |
June is an accomplished archaeologist, a job which she has pursued as well as her work for Waller and her demon have allowed. The Enchantress actually seems to encourage June’s work, though, far from being a sign of altruism between the woman, she does so only because it allows her to use her human host to do the grunt work in the hopes of finding artifacts which might be of value to her. Her skillset includes knowledge of archaeology, anthropology, and history. |
Polyglot |
June is a polyglot, reading and speaking a number of ancient and obscure languages, including Greek, Latin, Aramaic, Sanskrit, and Sumerian. The modern languages she speaks include Spanish, French, German, Farsi, and Arabic. The Enchantress, in addition to speaking Nahuatl, the language of the people who most recently worshiped her, has knowledge of a goodly assortment of mystical and demonic languages. |
Magical Sensitivity |
One of the Enchantress' greatest skills is her sensitivity to magic. She has the ability to sense magic anywhere in her current plane, and can pinpoint or track magic users with unfailing accuracy, regardless of their location. More-ever, and more deadly, she has the ability to tap into the magic of others, using it to bolster her own, or even allowing her to mimic powers which she has not yet mastered herself, but which the other magician can manifest. Usually, the magician must grant her access to their magic, but she is not above stealing it if she must. This ability can be resisted by the magic user, and people and objects that have been purposely hidden require more work for her to locate. |
Mystical Knowledge And Connect |
The Enchantress is an ancient being, and as such, has developed a vast amount of knowledge of the mystical and magical over the long years of her life. What knowledge she has, she prefers to keep a well-guarded secret, to use to her own advantage and that includes using or revealing her contacts and her knowledge only at last need. Her reputation, however, is such that she can use it to open a goodly number of doors. |
Government Resources |
Being at the beck and call of a powerful, and covert, government agency does have its advantages and she can call on them to assist her in her missions. It also gives her access to the skills and resources of whatever team she is currently assigned to. The government provides her with all of the basics necessities she needs to live and maintain her cover. |
Heartless |
Literally. The Enchantress’ heart, stolen from its reliquary, is currently in the possession of the government, specifically, Amanda Waller. This gives her, or anyone who could obtain possession of that heart control over the Enchantress. It is the primary tool which has been used to keep her under control. She feels any damage done to the heart, and should the heart be destroyed, it is likely that the Enchantress will be destroyed along with it. She seeks, always, to reclaim it. If she does, she will know no bounds as the heart contains a good bit of her power. |
Soul-bound |
The Enchantress exists only as a spirit, and cannot survive or function in the world without her human host. Though she does not consciously know it, and would not acknowledge it if she did, she has become more and more intertwined with June, and separating them, now, might well lead to some very unexpected and unwelcome consequences. The longer the women remain bound, the deeper those ties become. |
Short Leash |
Neither June nor the Enchantress are free to do as they please, but are bound to do the bidding of the government agency that currently holds the Enchantress’ heart. Because the two women are soul-bound, destruction of the heart would likely kill them both. Thus, it behooves them to follow the orders they are given, no matter how much either of them might wish to rebel. This enslavement chafes unbearably on both women. |
Only Human |
June is, for all intents and purposes, only human. She has a normal human’s strength, speed, and resilience. She has worked, actively, to attempt to improve her martial skills, if only to keep herself alive long enough to summon the Enchantress. Her mental state is another issue entirely. She has been witness, not only to her own imprisonment and powerlessness, but to all of the evil that the Enchantress has done, the many large and small ways the creature has attempted to break the will of her human host. In a very real sense, she suffers from a form of PTSD, and it manifests when she least wants/expects it to. |
Power Drain |
The Enchantress’ power is not limitless, and the more she uses her magic, the weaker she will become. Every act costs, and larger acts cost more than most. Whatever she believes of herself, the reality is, that even she has limits. For this reason, she seeks always to find ways to exact the maximum result with the minimum amount of effort. She recoups her power most quickly, when she is dormant within June. |
Archaeologist |
Have an artifact you need to authenticate? Found something dusty and musty hidden under your stairs? Possibly looking for an archaeologist who might be interested in a less than reputable excavation? June might be the one you need to hit up. |
