Strength Level: Compounded by his miniscule
stature and his often malnourished state of health, Boggart is quite
weak.
Known Superhuman Powers: Boggart is capable
of various eerie capabilities. He can possess the entire being of
any targeted human, causing them to grow grossly ill, go catatonic,
hallucinate, throw horrid fits, or even inflict horrible, occult-like
feats upon other people. Bo, like the rest of The Brood, tends to
target weak or innocent people to possess, as those of gruffer, stronger
mental build are far harder to overcome. Boggart is also an illusionist
of all things dark and creepy - he can make himself appear ghastly
and grotesque, can project apparitions, make random objects move or
levitate, and spike physical sensations of panic, haunting or foreboding
in unsuspecting humans.
Abilities/Special Skills: Although admittedly
not very bright, Boggart is apt to learn from his mistakes, and thus,
has become rather clever in terms of survival over his notably long
life thus far. He’s quite good at breaking into places and things
unseen, and is equally clever at getting himself out of grave danger,
if need be.
Weapons Used: His superhuman capabilities and
his knack for survival are all Boggart needs to get by. |

Personality:
Boggart isn’t all that intelligent, and
in often cases is highly gullible. He was created to be subservient,
and thus, is a timid, easily excitable bit of a coward by nature.
Although he is distant and seemingly unreceptive to affections such
as love or empathy, that is not to say that Bo isn’t one to
care what is thought of him. Quite the contrary - the daemon is hard
wired with a distinct drive to obey and revere whomever is giving
him orders for any length of time. Amidst working to complete his
master’s commands the otherwise apprehensive creature can be
cunning, violent, and downright vindictive, as he wants little more
then to please whomever has claimed ownership over him at the time.
Personal
Interests: Boggart’s interests lie in
obeying his master, whomever that may be at the time. It is his sole
drive and purpose, and thus, overwhelms his attention 95% of the time.
The rest of his interest, that small 5%, is left to his devices as
being a bit of a spook. Boggart love to scare the snot out of innocent
bystanders. He finds it hilarious.
History: There was far, far more behind the
Salem Witch hunt and trials of 1692 then history has chosen to reveal.
Truth be told, those who died as a result of the trials were entirely
innocent of the crimes with which they were charged. However, witches
within Salem at the time truly did exist. In 1691, suspicion of the
was beginning to arise of Witches Coven’s existence. Hysteria
was on the brink, the collective of 6 women were well aware, and something
very well needed to be done to detour attention and likely spare their
lives in the end. To succeed in their own liberation, they conjured
The Brood - a dozen demonic little beings, daemons, Boggart being
one of them. These creatures had a range of purposes the Coven could
put to use - the most important ability at the time being the Brood’s
capacity to possess otherwise innocent bystanders. The witches unleashed
the daemons on the town. The Brood attacked an inhabited the families
and children who would eventually be put on trial and some to death
for crimes of witchcraft that they didn't purposely commit. The Coven
relocated and was never harmed. After the Salem trials finally seized,
Boggart, like the rest of his demonic little fleet, spent his every
waking hour doing precisely what he was created to do - serve at the
bidding of Covens throughout the country, haunting establishments,
serving as a messenger between sects of witches between cities and
towns and, in more extreme cases, possessing innocent bystanders so
that true witches suspected of their craft could make off or go into
hiding without a fuss. For a short period of time in the late 1800s,
he was kept as Nexus’s Shayla Ki’s pet when found nearly
battered to death by the dog of a mentally failing old witch up in
Tuscan, Arizona. Not soon after, the daemon was caught in the crossfire
during the latest of run-ins between Shay and her long-time nemesis
Kayn. The little monster fell under Kayn’s ownership then, and,
a subservient creature by nature, has been forced to do the madman’s
bidding ever since. |
