playground for my miscellaneous OCs to play with magic

urban fantasy!! adventure, drama, some romance, its just a playground for my new ocs basically-

it's a universe just like ours.

it's a simulation/daydream universe! the laws of physics can easily be influenced by magic (the Din) and sometimes stop working or stop if you aren't conscious of them, depending on how magically saturated the area is.

the Din is a warping of reality. it affects anything electric and is harnessed through affirmation and manifestation (believing something into being). anyone can harness the Din but it's mainly confident people, and only some can access it when it isn't "loud" or very present. the Din is also like sentient cell service, it follows the most powerful practitioners (or groups of practitioners no matter their power) but sometimes just hangs out in certain places for no obvious reason. these spots are very popular for people to discover and begin harnessing it (obviously) so towns of people who practice sort of spring up around them and the cycle begets itself.

the same as ours

it's kinda a spinoff of a universe I created with a girl I'm no longer friends with. new characters, names, and locations so I don't steal her idea.

inspiration:
nadia was named after nadine, dwayne jr's father's macaw in scat. her name originally was nadine, but to be honest I don't like this name at all so I changed it to something I can tolerate easier.

rhea grace was named after the titan rhea. it's an uncommon name and a pretty one and I wanted her to have a name that didn't end the same as everyone else's so I gave her a second first name. also it's honestly icon behavior to name yourself after the mother of gods.

mason was named because I wanted to name her maisie but I also wanted to give her nicknames. I think it gives her a rougher edge.

callisto was named because I wanted a planetary name (spot the celestial bodies sfdjskhkj), I wanted her to be ruled by jupiter because that's rad as hell, and I wanted a name that sounds like calypso. callisto is one of jupiter's moons.

pluto was named after... pluto. it's androgynous and powerful, a little emo, and unique to them.

max was named after both max and ruby and yuenbean's oc max. it's androgynous and I want them to have that chaotic soft energy. it also sounds close enough to marley to have the energy but not the association.

raven was named after people who name themselves rowan, I just like raven better and I think it's cool.
their name was later changed to jonah (I had a tma phase and I love the name jonah) because I met someone irl named raven who got pregnant by one of my friend's fathers, then pretended the baby's father was a different friend of mine who had recently passed away. so the name is a bit ruined.

briar was named after the name brier and the fact that plant names win every time.

jamie was named after jammidodger and the fact that it's a sweet, reliable, innocent name. I want to like hearing my ocs names ok is that a crime

elio was named after a sun god, also because it's softer sounding than his original name leo and can still be shortened thusly.

wren was named after orien/oren, his original names, and my nickname ren.

lewellyn was named after a friend of a friend, the fact I love welsh names, and that I love L names.
