Fanon:Blacks' Legacy



Blacks' legacy (a.k.a. Blacks' family/bloodline, or simply just Blacks') is one of the best known legacies in whole Wizarding world. They're known of their pure magical blood, but mostly because of Blacks' miracle, which happens to be one of the most charming legends of all time. They're also known of their traditional looks, which include black hair, green eyes, males having muscular bodies and females having curvy ones (in good meaning).

Origins
First dated member of the legacy was Jonathan Blaque, but true origins of the bloodline are from ancient SimFrance, in which two of wise wizards got married and sacrificed their powers further for other generations. What they did was practically cursing their near bloodline with power transfer spell, which was transferring magical powers of their descendants on their children etc., so they would have more magic power than any other being. In order to keep magical powers growing, they never told their children they were supposed to be wizards. They never actually told them that a thing stuck as magic does not exist and never existed. Later, descendants eventually found out magic exists, but they didn't find out they could be wizards. Names of those two wise wizards are not officially known yet, but many stories say the names were Jean and Amalie Blaequi. Since names are not officially known, first dated member title remains in Jonathan's ownership.

Besides being first dated member of the legacy, Jonathan is also the main antagonist of the Blacks' legend. Jonathan was born during the Winter Disaster on December 15th, 1216 in Fleuve, which was supposed to be located somewhere near today's Riverview. Many heroic stories include hero's mother dying after giving birth, but this isn't classic stuff, dude. Jonathan's mother actually lived longer than her son. Jonathan's father was a well known merchant in town centre, who was probably selling ancient SimFrance ceramic. Jonathan had only younger siblings, two brothers, Matthew and Samuel, and one sister, MaryAnn.

Power Transfer Curse
Power transfer was functioning for almost 8 centuries, which made it the longest spell efficiency in that time, though it wasn't known that this spell was ever casted. Since it was a curse made out of love, it was never supposed to have side effects, but it's still a curse and side effects were found. Biggest side effect was inability of using any kind of magic, which was partly intended to happen, but unintended to be that strong. Even mortals could do more magic than Blaques then. Other known side effect was magic hatred. While conscious mind didn't know anything about the curse, subconscious mind did. Magic power always transferred on the first born child and along with magic powers, natural hatred of inability of using magic they could have was developed and transferred on children too. It only grew stronger with every generation that Jonathan's grandfather would rather die than become any magical creature. Imagine how strong the hatred was developed in Jonathan's subconscious mind.

You might ask if there are any positive side effects with this curse. My answer is yes. Since the curse was made out of love, it still was a curse which had bad side effects. But making curse out of love has its own benefits. For instance, curse was supposed to make descendants unable to use magic until they had a child on which the magic power was transferred. That means there still was magic power in them, but they really couldn't use it. It gave them other neat traits, though. Blaques where naturally charismatic and "charming". Now this is why they were such a good merchants and friends with everybody. Actually, the curse used it evilness to get even more magic powers for descendants. This is why they attracted wizards and witches and would more likely fall in love with them.

Since Jonathan was first born and all of hits ancestors were also first born, he carried all of his ancestors’ powers, plus his own powers. If he could use those powers, we would be the must powerful wizard of all time. But he never could. Neither his children could. Why is Jonathan the main point of this legacy? If you thought about the fact that by power transfer his children would be even more powerful than he was and about the fact that only he would be the most powerful wizard up to date, you may had came up with an idea of something happening to him. Something that would change entire legacy. And but now you should have thought this: Was the curse broken? My answer is yes, but partly... somehow... it still kinda existed, but was not like working anymore.

Pausing the Curse (with another curse)
Curse has been paused on Saturday, May 28th 1239. A warlock named Stephen Holmen revenged his family. Why? Holmens lived in Fleuve longer than Blaques. They were known because of their strong merchandise. But when charismatic, rich and "charming" Blaques came into the town, guess who stood in their shadow. Holmens, of course. After three generations, Stephen was only one to make the move. He sacrificed Jonathan's siblings and put a new curse on Blaques. A new curse made out of death, fear, dark magic and pure evil. "... let there be no magic in your blood, let there be no sun in your skies, let there be no hope in your sights..." These were some of the worst words which Blaques ever encountered. But there were even worse ones. The worst ones said: "Any magic that comes in your life or life of your children shall die in pain and awareness of such a crime they did against themselves." Meaning of those words was that if any magical or mythical creature would fall in love with one of Blaques and eventually end up kissing them, they would get curse on themselves which would end up killing them.

When Stephen cursed Jonathan, he wasn't aware of the fact that Jonathan is blocked wizard with more power he could ever imagine. If he knew his curse helped Blacks in future, he would just kill them all. Stephen's curse stopped power transferring, so Jonathan's children had less powers than Jonathan. Powers where slowly disappearing with every new generation. Also, Jonathan had three sons, Adam, Peter and Tim, each of them owning one of the three Originals branches in Blacks' family tree. But before I get to present Blacks, let me mention other important names and events in Blacks' history.
