Powers
Witch: Angelique is no ordinary witch, in many ways she is The witch. Angelique's powers and skills are formidable, even being a match for Count Petrofi and the Leviathans, as well as being able to hurl powerful curses and grant herself immortality. Angelique is well-versed as a witch, and has displayed the following abilities:
  • Elemental Control: Am (50) control over the four basic elements.
  • Weather Control: Rm (30) ability to affect weather, ranging from creating storms to localized events.
  • Necromancy: Angelique is a mistress of voodoo and death magic, and as such, has displayed Am (50) ability to capture spirits and bind them, raise the dead, raise zombies and control them, exorcise other spirits, bind and store spirits with Am (50) ability, and communicate with the dead with Am (50) ability. In addition, a deceased spirit does not simply make a resistance to Angelique's power: They must make an opposed Psyche FEAT.
  • Sympathetic Magic: Angelique has mastered the ability to craft dolls and figures of individuals, and force her will onto those individuals, making them do as she pleases. Angelique must have something of the target, and then must make an opposed Psyche FEAT. If the target fails, Angelique has control of them, so long as the doll/figure fetish exists. If it is destroyed or Angelique loses it, the figure loses power over the target. In addition, if commanded to take an action which is something the target might lose karma for, the target gets an additional Psyche FEAT at +2cs to break the hold.
  • Conjuration: Angelique can summon and control other beings to her service, such as elementals or infernal spirits with Rm (30) ability. Angelique must make a ritual, but can supplement her ability by +2cs if she knows the spirit and/or being she's attempting to summon.
  • Curse: Angelique is mistress of curses, and is the being responsible for cursing Barnabas Collins as well as freeing Quentin Collins from his lycanthrope at times. As such, Anqelique must make a ritual which can take anywhere from 1 - 100 turns depending on the severity of the curse. Angelique then rolls against Am (50) intensity to determine the power of the effect, with a natural red result meaning permanency. NOTE: Angelique gains a bonus against members of the Collins family, requiring a yellow FEAT to permanently affect a Collins family member. Angelique can remove a curse with little effort, except for those in which she achieves a natural red result.
  • Spells and Rituals: Angelique has amassed a great deal of knowledge, and can has quite a library of occult lore in which to draw from. As such, Angelique has shown that she is very capable of improvisation and/or learning new spells and magical rituals.
  • Free Spirit*: Angelique has been murdered three times, and has shown her ability to survive her death. If reduced to 0 health through conventional means, Angelique immediately becomes a free spirit, capable of existing as a spirit for centuries.
  • Immortal Youth: Angelique has long ago granted herself an eternally youthful appearance, which she maintains through mystical methods.

Contacts:
Angelique has numerous contacts through occult circles, ranging from spirits to demons to other practitioners. In addition, ironically enough Angelique has contacts within the Collins family, especially Barnabas and Quentin, especially Barnabas.


Limitations
  • Bound to Dark Powers; Angelique has made many, many deals with dark powers, and has many promises and pacts still outstanding. As such, Angelique was more than once blindsided by her own actions.
  • Obsession: Collins Family: Angelique is absolutely obsessed with the Collins family, often acting out of anger and spite and always in directly involved with their activities. Angelique suffers a -1cs for any reactions when initially dealing with the Collins family
  • Easily Spurned: Anqelique can be fickle and can easily be spurned. As such, Angelique can easily be made into an enemy.
  • Devotion: Barnabas Collins: Despite being his adversary and responsible for making him a vampire, Angelique is absolutely devoted to Barnabas, and will destroy anything that she perceives standing in her way.
  • Enemies: Angelique has made many enemies, some of which were encountered during the original Dark Shadows run.
