Family Blackvale

Family Blackvale is an American-Entropaean line dominated by dark magic and based in the city of Tenebris. The Blackvales specialize in bodily affliction and mind control and are among the most powerful and feared duelists in their world.

Perhaps ironically, actual bodily afflictions are rather common among family members. Some say you can tell a Blackvale by their frail appearance, and some indeed admit they can't hold their potions any better than a non-magical person.

Personality-wise, the Blackvales are considered serious and intelligent like the Grays, and sometimes painfully shy. Under the detached appearance, many are also deeply caring and empathetic like the Sherwins.

Trivia

 * Some Blackvales prefer to call their origin British-Entropaean, as they immigrated to the United States for only a brief part of the 20th century before joining Entropaea.
 * The Blackvales are known for spell development and possess the most extensive library in their universe. Like his great-grandmother Ingrid, Adrian enjoys and continues the tradition.
 * Adrian and his mother style their hair similarly to Ingrid as a homage. In fact, Adrian idolizes his great-grandmother and Vivian Gray for their work in bodily alteration "for the rest of us", sometimes to a fault.
