Witches (CRRU)

Witches are supernatural beings who are born with the power to affect and manipulate the forces of nature through inherent supernatural means known as Witchcraft. Witches are the "cousin" species of Homo-sapiens and resemble them in physiology.

History
Though their exact origins are unknown, it is known that Witches got their start around the First Era. In this time, Witchcraft had not yet been a thing and instead, a group of psychic lived together as a single tribal community. The most powerful of the psychics at that time had been Queen Hecate and her children: twins Lilith and Eve. During this time, the tribe waged world with the Old Ones for the fate of the world. In this war, Hecate suffered a mortal blow against the leader of the Old Ones. In an attempt to save her, Eve and Lilith rushed to help her, and together, were able to banish the Old Ones into another dimension with help from another Old One who betrayed his people. Following the war, Hecate passed away and leadership of the tribe fell onto Eve and Lilith.

The battle with the Old Ones unleashed mystic energy throughout the world and some members of the Tribe realized they could combine that power with their own energy to achieve a never-before seen effect. Among these members were Lilith, who's power easily surpassed all others with the same ability. It was also around this time, that the First Demons came to power and waged war against the Tribe. With their newfound power, Lilith led the other members of the tribe who powers like her to fight in a long and drawn out war. In one altercation, Eve was dealt a mortal blow, and much like Hecate before her, she soon passed away, though not before giving birth to a pair of twin sons. Once again, the tribe managed to fight off the demons and banished them away in the same dimension as the Old Ones, though their power was harder to completely seal.

Following the war with the First Demons, Lilith passed away years later, though not before giving her birth to a pair of twins of her own. With Eve and Lilith dead, the tribe chose to split up: those who could harness the mystic energy and internalize it left with Lilith's son, and went on to become the first Wizards. Others left with Lilith's daughter and became the first Witches: harnessing the earth's natural power and combining it with their own in a give and take relationship. The others in the tribe stayed with Eve's oldest son, while her youngest son developed powers similar to his father, the Old One who betrayed his race, and left with him to the Higher Realms to watch over the others.

Physiology
Among the various supernatural species, Witches are arguably the closest to humans in terms of physiology. As a while, Witches are referred to as the "Children of Lilith" or Lilum and are referred to as cousins to humans, who are known as the "Children of Eve."

The biggest distinction between humans and Witches, is the inherent wealth of power that exist within them. While a regular human will rarely, if ever, be able to recognize a Witch, Witches are able to recognize one another without even realizing it.

Powers and Abilities
Witches are born with an inherent affinity for mysticism: an inner wealth of power that they are able to combine with ambient energy of the world around of them in order to perform Magic. This trait is genetics-based and makes it so that even their blood will possess mystic qualities. Even in death, a Witch is still a reservoir of mystical energy that can be channelled by others to enhance their own magic power.

Witchcraft
Witches possess the unique power known as Witchcraft: a branch of magic that combines several acts of mysticism, the greatest of which is Nature Channeling.
