Today's character is another child of my two OSE characters, Asabalom and Maryah. Aviva is the oldest and named after a witch they both knew. Aviva's current quest is to find the witch she was named after. The first Aviva is bit of a legend in my games, more "cautionary tale" than actual character. She was another "good witch" who slipped into demonology and diabolical magic. In truth she only exsists as a name in a history I wrote about the Warduchess. This Aviva is good, and she is seeking out the other Aviva to discover what went wrong. She has been travelling the world ever since.

She began life as the daughter of a druid (Asabalom) and a ranger (Maryah), and her magic is very much "Green Witch"-style, but as she progressed, she became more distinct from both a Green Witch and Pagan witchcraft.
Looking for her namesake has taken a while. Mostly because I am not 100% sure who the first Aviva actually is myself! But until then, this Aviva will keep looking for her.

I love the ideas of both of my Avivas and want to do more with them. I just need to figure out who the older Aviva was and what her importance was to Asabalom and Maryah. Enough to name their oldest child after her. AND what happened to the first Aviva?
This Aviva is (unknown to her) on the same journey that Phygor was on in my deep history. So right now, she is in line to become one of my more powerful witches. Not intentionally, but her own personal journey is taking her there all the same. For this I have been taking powers and spells for her from all my books.
Honestly. I find that more interesting than how many orcs she has killed or dungeons she has explored.
