WELCOME TO MY LIFE ' '
Place of Origin: New Orleans, Louisiana
History:
Julian "Ezili" LaCroix is the descendant of an ancient line of African priestesses, who were powerful magic users dedicated to Ezili Freda, The Goddess of love and all things beautiful. His mother Maya Fairchild was the Voodoo Queen of her Family and fought to hold her throne in the New Orleans Voodoo community. She was only nineteen when she met and fell in love with an aristocratic white Frenchmen by the name of Armand Lacroix. The beautiful woman caught the mans eye and the two began a whirl wind romance that tore the innocent yet adventurous young Maya away from her family duties. The Fairchild family began to loose its hold on the Voodoo community as other Voodoo Queens threatened her throne. When Maya became pregnant her mother who was the Voodoo Queen before her, hoped this would bring Maya back to her family responsibilities and maybe produce a new heir to the family power.
When it was found out that the child would be a boy this was the final straw for the elderly Mayfair. She disowned Maya and sent her to live with Armand. the french man had taken up a huge plantation in the french quarter and the two lived together happily, welcoming a beautiful baby boy into the world. That baby was Julien. Being the only child they would spoil the boy giving him anything his heart desired. Upon seeing the beautiful eyes of her boy she nicknamed him little Ezili because his beauty rivaled the goddesses in her eyes. Even as a child people admired the child's good looks and his sparkling inner glow. The small family thrived and Julien grew up a privileged and happy child. Before the time he was four he knew he was different from other children. His parents thought he was just imaginative, making up imaginary friends. This was strange though because he preferred to talk and play with them rather than other children his age. What his parents didn't know was that these weren't merely imaginary friends but visitors from the spirit world. They spoke to him, guiding him and sharing family secrets.A favored "friend" was his great grand uncle named Papa Gris-Gris a powerful Voodoo hougan. He would play with the small child and teach him things about his religion, Simple spells, folklore, different herbs, even small events that would happen in the future. One such event was the death of his father.
When Armand died Maya could not stand to live in the house the two shared and moved back in with her mother who accepted her daughter with open arms. Although the stubborn woman had thought of Julien as nothing more than a mistake she found herself truly in love with her grandson. She enjoyed his wizened spirit and how much he reminded hero of Ezili Freda. The boy continued to grow up with his grandmother and mother but was not official taught by his grandmother who deemed the power of the family as woman's realm. He continued to learn the Voodoo religion as a lay person but was secretly taught by the ancestor spirits who talked to him and taught him. During a ritual his grandmother was leading she took ill, collapsing to the ground and going into shock. No one around understood the cause but Papa Gris Gris knew exactly what it was and explained to the boy how to save his grandmother. With his mystical know how and the help of Papa Gris Gris he was able to save her life and prove to her that he was the next in line for the power. His Grandmother not only believed this but saw in him something she could not explain, he wasn't just an ordinary Hougan he was special.
As she taught the boy she watched him grow more and more powerful each day. Using Voodoo that took others years to even comprehend. He began to rise among the ranks of the New Orleans Voodoo community and became a local celebrity the first Voodoo King of New Orleans. He soon grew to surpass both his mother and grandmother in power and used his magics to gain the pleasures in life as well as help those around him. He acted as a local leader and was held in high esteem among the laymen. The people began to whisper that Julien was special, touched by Ezili herself. The way he talked, and walked, the way he acted. Everything was as if her spirit "rode" him or possessed him. This is when the Pantheon Academy came and contacted his mother claiming the boy was the reincarnation of the Loa Ezili Freda. His grandmother instantly believed it, she knew that was what made him so different than anything she had ever seen. This is when he moved to the Academy and began studying. After four years of studying and growing into his new life he graduated and began taking extra classes hoping to expand his abilities and help the school with the influx of new reincarnates any way he could.

ROLEPLAYING SAMPLE ' '
The ritual began at the stroke of midnight, The witching hour. Several strange figures flooded the small grove in the middle of a dense forest in Central Europe. The moon was unseen on this night, a dark moon. The black hooded figures moved in silence placing the ritual items in place reading for the spell to be used. In the background a silent hum could be heard. The sound began to change into a chant deep and earthy. The words were ancient before humans walked the planet and many who spoke them did not even know their meanings. When the dark mother walked among them she taught them the ancient magics. Enough for them to serve her, which they did willingly. Suddenly the chanting stopped and several candles were lit in an inverted pentagram. A modern invention added to the old magics being performed in the hopes of grounding the mystical energies that were to be raised. The light of the candles lit up the grove dimly, flickering with the change of the wind.
On the backs of three hooded figures a naked woman bound in velvet ropes was brought into the middle of the pentagram. Her muffled screams silenced as the chanting began again. This time louder and faster the words blending together. The power of the ancient words building energy from the followers. The main priest an elderly man who once worked closely with the Dark mistress herself walked to the woman. Her pale skin seemingly glowed in the flames of the candles and the man opened his mouth to begin the spell. His dark words flowed through the air and all were silent.
Holding a tattered piece of paper in the air he brought it to the flame of one of the candles and watched as it burned slowly in his hands. As it turned to ash he put out the flames. Blackened ash was all that was left in his hand. He knelled to the ground before the bound woman. He slowly removed the gag from her mouth and placed the ashes upon her tongue. "Ash to ash dust to dust ,One soul for another." he spoke into the air. "I reach out to the other land and call forth the soul of the goddess, binding her to this new body." Pulling out a small dagger carved from bone he shoved it deep into the abdomen of the screaming woman. As her blood flowed from the wound a flash of black light exploded from her wound knocking the candles flames out. Silence filled the entire grove as the followers froze in a mixture of horror and anticipation. Until one voice broke through. The silky voice darker than the inky night sky.
"I have returned."
