The Book of Warriors (Character Profiles)

[Damon999]

Name: Damon (insert last name here.)

Age: 17

Appearance: Damon is a tall, but totally unimposing individual. He has pale skin, hazel eyes and very messy dark brown hair. Despite his height he pretty much has no major muscle mass and is very skinny. He wears a loose black two-piece sparring outfit with a thick red trim around the edges and tie-up center. Around his forearms (usually covered by his sleeves) are two large metal bracelets which he is quite adept at using to defend himself. Although at first glance his garb appears to be made of simple cloth, it is actually composed of finely interwoven metal alloy fibers. It is almost as light as the normally suspected material, however, allowing the physically meek Damon to wear it without severely impeeding his movement speed. Oh, and he wears heavy black boots. Very tough.

Combat style: Damon has somehow managed to become extremely proficient in the art of manageing his inner aura. The invisible energy wraps around him like a suit of armor and absorbs the huge amounts of damage that are regularly directed in his direction. In fact, his aura is so strong that he has been harkened to be practically invincible by some that have met him. In truth, he just appears that way because he is not taking any of the actual punishment: His aura is absorbing it all. Along with the massive defensive increase it also nominally increases his strength, allowing him to carry around his oversized waraxe and crush small boulders with his metal bracelets. His most obvious use with it, though, is transforming it into pure kinetic force. He can levitate objects around the size and weight of cars by snaking an invisible tendril of aura into them, as well as create shockwaves of force around him. He can aim the force blasts in any direction as a concentrated beam when (relative!) precision is needed. For close combat, he carries an enormous single-bladed shorthandled axe. He has no formal training in it, neither has he really improved with it through constant use, but he can still swing it. It might not be precise (at all.) but hurts like a sunnuva if it ever hits you. Taking into consideration it hasn't slashed you clean in half. The axe is custom-made and has a few quirks. In his own words "The top pointy bit is longer than the bottom pointy bit. So now i can stab people." And he has. He prefers not to use lethal force, however. Finally, he can use his aura for a quick burst of personal strength. He generally uses this to jump really high.

Weaknesses: As mentioned, he has no skill in actual hand to hand combat. As one to solve problems by apllying very liberal use of brute force he has really never needed them. His axe-swinging is very slow and his martial arts is limited to what he's seen on saturday morning anime. Actually, his total lack of discipline has often worked in his favor... He's been known to defeat opponents by using attacks that no sane fighter would even consider. But that's besides the point. As for his aura, it's flashy and effective for the amount of time he can use it. As he throws around pure force and takes damage from attacks it begins to lower and wane in effectiveness. Although you can't really touch him when he's at 100% aura power, once he begins to take damage it becomes easier and easier to "pierce" his aura and affect his real body. Although his nanometal suit grants him marginal protection, physically Damon is a total wimp. He is also unused to real pain and should you make him bleed, he'll feel it. Finally, once his aura has begun to reach the 30% mark, he starts to become heavily exhausted. Should ALL his aura be exhausted he'll black out. Although by then he has generally been on the receiving end of some serious aura-piercing attacks and be bleeding. And when he bleeds he hurts. And when he hurts he often runs the hell away.

Personality and bio: Damon is a bit of a loner. He likes people he can make friends with, but the majority of people he has met want to scar him physically... Or worse, mentally. During the brief amount of time Damon allowed him parenting rights, his father was very strict and tried to get him enrolled in many "Torture courses" for both the mind and body. Since Damon was neither smart nor strong he was a sore dissapointment for his rather tyrranical parent. So Damon said screw it and ran away at the age of 13, blowing a rather large hole in the wall with his previously hidden aura abilieties. He has since spent the time playing video games and beating the crap out of anyone who even begins to threaten his or others freedom. Oftentimes he targets places just for the fun of the fight: Martial dojos and other training places for fighting that utilizes rigorous and very ordered regimines. Since this practice is totally illegal (he never seriously hurts anyone, but he causes a lot of property damage.) he is wanted in as many places as he is celebrated. Actually, he is often wanted and celebrated in the same place... It is disturbing in how many places freeing slaves is illegal. Anyways, Damon is cheerful and easy going for the most part and tries to find something good with everything that everyone else says is crap. He is very lazy though. And although he never means any harm he mostly ignores manners and such. This often makes him come off as entirely rude... Which he pretty much is actually. However, he himself is pretty vulnerable to insults and such. He grew up with constant verbal abuse about how half-assed and useless he was. It's not a very good idea to piss him off though: His emotions are linked to his aura. He has a pretty complex vision of good and evil as well as chaos and law... And supports the former of both pairs to the max. Despite his love of battle he abhores killing. Although he has taken lives, they where all of the typical scum of the earth. Slave traders. Murderers. Sellers of powerfull, lethal, addictive drugs. If he ever sees a individual take an innocent life he flies into a practically berserk rage and overextends his aura to try and stop that person. And by "Stop" he often settles for "rip to pieces" because, despite his experinces, he is still an immature child. Quite simple-minded in fact. He is unable to fully grasp the horrors of the world he fights against so fervently.

(I suck at this. Sorry.)

(Types of Energies used)

::Personal Energy::
This energy mainly comes from within Raijin. If his other energies fail to gather within himself, Raijin will summon the
power inside of his own self. Raijin's personal power is just as strong as his other energies. He can easily pull off
powerful attacks if necessary, if Raijin's body allows it.

::Natural Energy::
This energy comes from Nature. Raijin can use the power's of Nature to his advantage. This means that with precise control
Raijin is able to control the seasons, and the weather around the battlefield. Raijin is only able to use this energy if his body allows it.

::Atomospheric::
Here, Raijin is able to control the atomosphere and area around him. He can cut through the wind or anything related to that. He
can control the area around him, he can change the gravity to his liking. Again, Raijin can only use this energy if his body
allows it.

:::Ways of Concentration:::

For Atmospheric: Manipulation of the air by exerting energy
For Natural: Picturing in the mind and "drawing out"


Status: Very much Alive and Active.

Personality:

Raijin's personality is a mix of many different things. Raijin can be nice, polite and easy to talk with, while at other
times he can be impolite, selfish have an attitude towards everyone, and so on. Raijin bases his personality on how other's
treat him. If you treat Raijin with respect and courtesy, Raijin will treat you the same way. However, if you treat him
like crap and give him an attitude when he wants to ask you something or something of that nature, he will return the favor
by acting the same way. So, in all ways, it's basically, you get what you put out. Overall, Raijin is a pretty good person
and doesn't act all evil an tough. He knows his own strength and when his breaking point is. He's been around lots of people,
so he knows how to act around certain people. Raijin has had emtional breakdowns which has caused him to go into depression,
but, it doesn't last long for him. Raijin can be a great guy or he can be a crappy guy, it all depends on how you treat him.

History: Unknown

http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/2...plarios0vx.jpg

Name: Agathos Daimon Corybantes

Clan (or group?): The Knights Templar

Hometown: Undetermined

Age: Undetermined, some where between the ages of 25-30 years old.

Height: 6'0" ft.

Weight: Around 165 lbs.

Gender: Male

Build: Thin and Muscular.

Race: Human

Hair: Short brown hair.

Eyes: Dark Green Eyes


Clothing:

http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/1...httunic4up.jpg


Agathos wears typical knight gear. This consits of a black gothic like tunic that
reaches down to the knees. Around the waist is a black belt that doesn't hold any
accessories, but that doesn't mean it can't, it can. Underneath the tunic he wears a
long sleeve light blackish undershirt that reaches down to his wrists. On the short sleeve part of
the tunic he wears a design bearing the seal of the Templars. The Templar seal is very intricate
in it's design. It has two riders on one horse with a long spear. The design surrounding the
two men on horseback is symbolic as it presents the cross of Jesus Christ, the True cross.
There is also many different symbols embelled in the seal. The two men have been interpreted
to meaning a sign of poverty or the duality of monk/soldier.

http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/6...larseal7dd.jpg

On top of this tunic Agathos wears a white colored garment, which reaches down just over his knees.
This garment is what was given to him when he was first inagurated as a Templar Knight. The
garment holds special value to Agathos as he worked very hard to get himself to be a Templar
Knight. He was chosen by the Pope personally for his excellent skills as a knight and his
determination to finish whatever task he was given.


Accessories:

|The Holy Bible|

This is what is to be believed as the true Bible. Everything written in this scripture tells the true story of what
happened during Biblical times, and during the time of Jesus Christ. Agathos uses this to conjure up his spells and his
familiar. Though he is not a wizard, he earned his familar through his work in the namde of God. He has to read scriptures
from the Bible in order to conjure up any of his most powerful spells. He also uses this conjure his familiar which is a
gryphon. Agathos discovered this Bible while searching at Solomon's Temple. He didn't realize their were so many treasure's
there, and he did not reveal the location of the temple as he felt that man should not bear to look or to hold any of the
religious treasures burried in the Temple. Agathos likes to keep his Bible close to him, so he keeps it tucked in his belt,
tightly so it doesn't get away from him, as he will always need it.

|Holy Water|

Usually when traveling Agathos will perform certain rituals to help anyone he meets along the road. He is a traveling Saint,
as some might say. He helps the weak and the poor. This water is a pure substance. Agathos keeps this in a little pouch which
is tied tightly on his belt. Towards the end of the battle. If Agathos feels he has lost or won the battle, he will bring out
his holy water. The holy water will be used as a drinking substance. He will give the water to his opponent, and hoping that
it works, the opponent, should lose the will to fight Agathos, and leave the field, Agathos will then do the same.

**Note** This will only happen towards the end of the battle. At no time during the battle, will Aagathos take out his holy
water.

--------------------------

Other things that Agathos carries in a little pouch which he wears strapped around his shoulder, would be pencil and paper.
Usually he will carry his notes and parchments of anything he found in Solomon's Temple. He would merely carry water
and some food as well. Nothing of real importance is in his bag.
--------------------------


Weapons:

http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/3...arsword7ty.jpg

This is the sword of the Knights Templar. Each of them was given this sword when they were inagurated as the Knights Templar.
They had to carry this sword with them wherever they went. The sword is what gives the Knights some strength to fight in
their battles. Agathos tries not to use his sword, only because he doesn't want to damage the intricrate design that embells
it. The design is embelled with the true cross of Christ. This is what is also worn on their garments. Other desings around
the cross are merely their for decoration. The cross is of what's importance to the Knights. The Knights use this sword when
they were protecting the pilgrams while taking them to the Holy Land. They would fight for their protection and die if
necessary to make sure they reach their destination. Agathos wears this sword strapped around his shoulder in a different
direction then what his pouch is strapped.

|Divine Shield|

This shield bears the true cross as well. It is the same symbol that is on their garments which they wear wherever they go.
The shield is large and if they hold it against their bodies, it will reach from their shoulders straight down to the top
of their ankles. It is a large shield and is a white coloured shield. The shield will react with anything that is
evil or a threat to it's owner. The shield will protect it's owner at all costs. Holy energy flows through the shield and
will conjure up it's own barrier if necessary to protect against any large scale energy techniques.

::Abilities::

|Holy Energy| Energy which comes from the light of God. Being pure of light, Agathos is given Holy energy to combat or defend
himself against the enemies of darkness and evil. This energy can only be conjured if the user knows anything of the works
God, and has to be religious in some way. This energy is mostly used for defensive techniques to protect the innocent and
the weak. Readings from the Bible are needed to conjure up some of these spells and it is also need to conjure any familiar
the user may have been given.

Special Techniques:

|Holy Barrier|
|User: Agathos
|Description: With a precise control of holy energy. Agathos will conjure up a barrier to protect himself against small
scale energy attacks. This will not work with physical attacks such as a sword or any type of weapon heading to hurt him.

|Divine Blessing |
|User: Agathos
|Description: Here, Agathos transfers an amount of holy energy depending upon the amount of damage done to himself, into his cross. It is then spread throughout the body and searches for the point of where his body is damaged. It takes quite some time before the damage is fully healed, thus taking a bit of energy to use.

|Sword of the Divine|
|User: Agathos
|Description: With concentrated holy energy into his sword, and the power of the cross hanging around his neck, Agathos is able to bring strength into his sword and is able to use his sword to attack his oppponents with a blast of holy energy. This is more like an energy blast.

||
|User: Agathos
|Desccription:


______________________________


http://img312.imageshack.us/img312/7868/gryphon9ya.gif

Familiar: "Daimon"

This Gryphon was given to Agathos only a few months after becoming a Knight Templar. This gryphon is different the most
would come to believe. This gryphon serves God only, yet, it follows the commands of who is it's owner at the present time.
In this case, it would be Agathos. Agathos has trained his familar to be strong in the light of God. He names his familiar,
Daimon, after his middle name. He feels that Daimon is able to aid him in protecting the weak and innocent. Daimon stands
about the size of Agathos which is just around 6 feet in length, which is not including the tail. Daimon can only be summoned if
a special prayer is said using holy water and reading from the Bible itself. The user cannot recite the prayer through
memory. If the prayer is said through memory, the user is not a true knight of God. It MUST be said through the Bible if it
is to work, and if the gryphon is wished to be summoned.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _

Status: Alive

Personality:

Agathos' personality differs at most times. Usually he is a kind-hearted individual who would talk to anyone no matter what
race, color, or gender they may be. He can usually start a conversation with just about anyone and if spoken to, he can
perform anything that is done in a regular church. As said before, his personality differs. If Agathos is in a bad mood,
he would let anyone around him know it, because he does things he doesn't normally do. As a punishment Agathos would lock
himself away from the general public for a month to pray for God's forgiveness. He does not want to be taken as a bad man,
and he tries to be as pure and kind-hearted as he possibly can. With all the evil and corruption in the world, this is a
hard task for Agathos.

History:

|The Knights Templar|

I won't go into too much detail about the Knights Templar. This is only to give you a brief history of who are the Knights
Templar. The Knights Templar are the largest and most powerful Christain military order that was created after the First
Crusade, which took place in 1096. The Knights were founded in 1118. They were instructed to help the new kingdom of Jerusalum maintain itself against
it's hostile Muslim neighbors and to ensure the safety of hundreds of Eruopean pilgrims who were traveling to the Holy Land
after the conquest.

[Lance]

Lance
Full Name- Lance Kaze Harrison

Age- 7

Eyes- Green

Hair- Black

Height- 3' 5"

Weight- 40 lbs.

Often Seen Wearing- Loose-fitting blue T-shirt, grey short pants

Other Distinguishing Features- Yellow Gem in right hand

Bio-
Lance is the younger brother of the increadible and legendary warrior Ahimsa. Lance has been with Ahimsa for as far back as he can remember, and his brother has been kind enough to teach him how to fight. With his brother's training, Lance became a rather skilled hand-to-hand fighter, and a particuarly talented acrobat.
They lived in a very remote forest. When his brother was away in battle, Lance was often left behind under the care of his neighbors (Who lived about 4 miles away from their rather remote home). He would often wander through the woods, exploring. His brother taught him many things about life. He showed him how to watch sheep, how to leap up trees easily, and how to swim. He showed him how to be so quiet, they could sneak up on foxes, and on one day, they watched a fox wedding ceremony, completely undetected. He also showed him the Zora King, and took him to meet the God Pan.
One day, upon returning home from a war, Ahimsa gave Lance a bright yellow gem. When the boy took hold of it, it became embedded in his hand. Ahimsa told him it was a gift from the Summer Wind. He said that Lance needed to go out into the world and find his own destiny. Now with a strange control over the wind, Lance went off in search of his future.
Not far into his travels he met Julie, who's been with him for some time. There is a slight attraction between the two, but neither are brave enough to bring it to anything more then that.

Personality- Lance is rather happy. After growing up with his brother for so long, he's quite carefree. He's also very playful and occasionally uses his wind powers with a mischievous edge. He's pretty perceptive for a kid, picking up on things fast and able to find minor details others would miss. He enjoys pretending he's Batman or Superman.

Skills- Lance is a moderate hand-to-hand fighter. Maybe slightly better then that. While he isn't that strong (even by kid standards), he has a fighting style that utilizes his small size and acrobat skills to get him by. He's very fast and can jump very far. These powers are only enhanced by his wind capabilities. He has minor talents with other weapons provided it's a miniature version of it (Full-Size weapons are way too heavy for him to lift). He keeps a chain-whip on his person, which he can use quite well.

Powers- The Gem Ahimsa gave him allows Lance to control the air around him. Using this he can summon up tornados, gusts, and funnel clouds. By focusing the air under him, Lance can leap great distances, and if he gets some time to concentrate, fly. By putting the wind at his back, he can run extremely fast, and he can even manipulate the sound waves that travel through air, which lets him disguise his voice, deflect sonic attacks, and make sound effects. He can also summon rain and thunder if he can concentrate hard enough. With Julie's help, he can create rain very easily. He can also manipulate his chain whip to make it move in impossible ways using his wind powers.

Weaknesses- Since Lance is only able to manipulate nearby air, his powers are worthless anywhere that doesn't have air nearby. If he's underwater or in space, he has virtually no control over his surroundings. Although if he's underwater, he can summon air from the surface and bring a bubble to him which will carry him upwards. Lance is also very weak physically and can be thrown about easily. Also, Lance is easily frightented given the right atmosphere, and he hates scary movies. Ironically, Lance can hold his breath for a very long time. Also, Lance can't swim too well. He can only dog-paddle.

Weapons- One extremely long chain whip he keeps at his side. He can use his wind powers to control it and make it move in unpredictable ways.


Julie
Full Name- Julia Cinthia Adams

Age- 6

Eyes- Blue

Hair- Brown

Height- 3' 3"

Weight- 38 lbs.

Often Seen Wearing- Cute Pink Dress, Pink ribbons in hair, Hair in pigtails

Other Distinguishing Features- None

Bio-
Julie was found one day on washed up on the shore of an middle-aged couple who owned a fairy. The couple took the child in and cared for her. As Julie became older, she was a great swimmer. The couple eventually found that she could manipulate water and change it into ice if she wanted. Her foster parents encouraged that she master her gift, and she began to practice using her powers.
One night, her foster parents were awoken by a man who demanded they take him across the lake. He offered them a huge toll for the ferry, and they had no choice but to accept. They told Julie to go back to bed, as they'd be back before she got up. But when she awoke, she was skill alone.
Julie left the homestead, looking for her foster parents. Shortly after she met Lance and they formed a quick friendship. They're now traveling together each hoping they'll find what they're searching for.

Personality- Julie is very cute. She's very polite and happy, but not quite as energetic as Lance is.

Skills- Julie isn't as good a hand-to-hand fighter as Lance is, but she can create lightweight ice-weapons and shields that aid her in battle. With that on her side, she's much more dangerous then most people may think. She's an extremely fast swimmer.

Powers- Julie is capable of manipulating and controlling water. She can make it move accourding to her will. This also applies to ice, although it's much more difficult to manipulate. She also seems to have the strange ability to breathe underwater, similar to Aquaman. Somehow, she can make water and ice shoot out of her hands. The origin of these talents is unknown. She can survive in extremely low temperatures. She can also make underwater tunnels can lead through lakes. When ulitizing her water powers, she can protect herself from electrical attacks, dispursing them through large masses of water.

Weakness- Julie can only make so much water and ice in a certain span of time. If she creates too much water too quickly, she could dehydrate. Also, she cannot control espicially large masses of water. Julie is also only a minor fighter and very weak.

Weapons- Julie can create weapons out of ice. She usually just creates a large ice-rod which she hits people with.

For the record, I think I should state that these two aren't just blantant rip-offs of those two avatar characters (Names escape me). Although I know that's probably hard to believe. Maybe they were subconscious... Hmmmm.....

(( Creator's Notes: Second version, this time toned down from unnecessary abilities. I may go back and rework him again sometime in the future. ))

Name: Nicco Burdette

Race: Human (Magi-ancestry, in the distant past; nothing of real consequence)

Sex: Male

Age: 28

Height: 6'3"

Weight: 234 lb.

Eyes: Light brown

Hair: Sky blue

Build: Solid

Clothing: Nicco wears a plain black robe, drawn up at the knees, overtop a plain jumpsuit (also black), with plain bandage wrappings around his feet and hands.

Accessories: His choice of attire does not give much room for holding non-weapons, though Nicco does carry a few coins and bills to pay his tabs in his robes' crevices. Food isn't a problem, as he can simply find a deer, cut it up, and cook it, so he doesn't need to carry anything. Carrying good drink would be a waste if a battle sprang out, so he never keeps any fine whiskey on his person. He does, however, keep a flask of drinking water at his hip, opposite his short sword.

Weapons: Nicco is a fist-fighter, plain and simple. He prefers fighting with his own body, and the extensions of that body (his magic, basically), over using weaponry. But, for the sake of fairness, he also carries a small short sword to combat swordsmen. It reaches a length of some 24 inches, with an 18-inch blade, and is kept in a sheath strapped to Nicco's belt.

Energy Types: Metamagical, Personal

-- Special Abilities --

* Metamagic - A more intuitive form of magic than, say, black or white magic, Metamagic draws upon natural forces and inner strength to craft its magnificent abilities. The power to draw upon the atmosphere is a great way to save on one's own energy, and certainly makes for a more relaxed form of combat... ideally. Metamagic comprises both black and white magic to some extent, though it succeeds only in striking a happy medium between the two rather than excelling in either category. Much of the time, Nicco only casts barriers or shields with his basic metamagic, but there are times when he resorts to more offensive castings.

* Meta-Vine - By far the most common ability of Nicco's, the Meta-Vine is, essentially, an extendable rope of highly-strengthened magic. It has a limit of eighty meters, though at such length, its power decreases convincingly. This Meta-Vine can be shaped and molded into many forms, which include: a spiked whip; a blade (of varying length and power); and tendrils that can be used to whip or bind. No matter what form it assumes, a steel edge cuts it cleanly, though as long as Nicco's Metamagic holds out, it can be formed multiple times. He has, in his training, learnt to grow the Vines outside of his normal striking radius for a surprise attack, though the range of such a maneuver is only twenty-five meters at best.

* Air Cutter - By shifting air pockets, and splitting them, variable, near-invisible vortices of air may be formed. These vortices cut cleaner and stronger than any blade could and, being invisible to the naked eye, are favored as tools of assassination. Nicco is fairly skilled with the Air Cutter, able to easily slice the air around him and move it, but finding it more difficult to manipulate the air from a distance. Indeed, after only fifteen meters, he loses all control of his Air Cutters, making them useful as either melee or projectile weapons only when used sparingly.

* Deadly Chill - With the same principle he uses in the Air Cutter, Nicco freezes the moisture in the air far, far past freezing, and is able to control it as he wishes. Thus, he has more of a long-ranged skill in than close-ranged skill; namely, he creates many small darts of chilled air that freeze on impact with a physical mass, chilling them and frosting over that section affected by the impact ((a very, very small area. No more than two-and-a-half inches in any given direction. But, when affecting the joints, naturally, that could prove troublesome)).

* Brimming Fire - In the same vein as he freezes the air, Nicco heats the air's particles, creating open flames which he may control as he wishes. Reaching over four hundred degrees Farenheit, it is more than capable of causing horrific burns if it does touch the opponent.

* Liquid Death - In the same basic vein as the Deadly Chill, Liquid Death concentrates the liquid density in the air. The difference being, instead of hardening it into ice, the liquid remains water. Liquids from the body, such as blood and natural water, may also be controlled and used as Nicco wishes. Two common uses of the Liquid Death power are to create a watery shield to block lightning, or releasing focused water pressure in a straight attack.

* Rolling Thunder - By rubbing air pockets violently against electrons, an electric charge is generated. If done forcefully enough, the electricity can reach a startling voltage -- enough to char the body as if struck by lightning itself. Sure, at his present level of power, Nicco can only sustain the voltage for a short time of thirty seconds, but that time, if well-spent, can be used as a hunting device of sorts, to surprise an opponent from behind or the sides with a sudden shock of electricity.

* Impulse - The power to command "gravity," the Impulse magic focuses upon the force that drives us down and either amplifies or weakens it, to Nicco's benefit. Of course, should enough force be exerted over a small area, an opponent could be crushed outright. Or, likewise, the gravity around Nicco could be "lightened," making veritable "flight" possible. Spheres of energy, existing outside gravitational fields, may be formed. Those spheres, when impacted against a solid mass, implode, crushing anything they touch... within some reason, of course.

----

Personality: Nicco is an average sort of fellow, susceptable to the normal human passions and desires. He often broods by himself during his journeys, and in battle, he can be an easily-angered man. Outside of battle, he's often jubilant, friendly; a great friend to those few he's made.

History: From the very beginning of Nicco's life, he was set upon by the God of Fate and rended into. He was born prematurely, nearly dying within the first few months of his life, but inexplicably surviving. Several more such turns of fate occurred throughout his childhood, as he was trained to be a squire to Sir Marken of Holeven. But, as his seventeeth birthday came to pass, something seemed to "click" inside of Nicco. As if by magic, as he wished, he found that he could form small tendrils that were capable of strangling a cat with ease. This, he learned from the local mage, was a "Metamagical Power," which would be the first of several to manifest with the boy. Rather than apprenticing to a knight, Nicco was taken under the wing of that exact mage: Florbac. For six years, Nicco was taught the basics of Metamagic, which utilized the very atmosphere itself to create magical effects. During this training, in addition to his Meta-Vine, he taught himself to control the air, ice, and fire. Just a few months after finishing this training, Nicco abruptly set off from his hometown, on a journey to train himself to greatness. It's been years now since the training finished, and Nicco has become exceedingly more powerful than he previously was.

(( Creator's Notes: Nice, clean job from theory to completion. I enjoyed making this one, possibly more than any other character so far. As to whether he'll be a good character? No idea. As with all my characters, this one is subject to revision. ))

Name: Shakra Hengoh

Race: Human

Sex: Male

Age: 29

Height: 5'7"

Weight: 184 lb.

Eyes: Forest green

Hair: Navy blue

Build: Average; not spectacular in speed, power, or stamina

Clothing: Short blue-and-green scholar's robes ((covers the entire torso, arms, and most of the legs; made up partially from several open flaps of cloth; mostly round-shaped)), leather walking shoes,

Weaponry: The magi-technological longsword, Arapacana, is Shakra's primary arm in battle; it is stored on the back. Another weapon, the Bhumi, is kept at his hip. And, of course, there is the usual array of flashbombs and smokebombs -- of varying potency and range -- hidden inside of Shakra's robes.

Energy Types: Psycho-magical

-- Combat --

* Psychic Magic - Most mages rely on innate spiritual skill to weave their wondrous ways into existence. There are a select few, however, who rely on entirely different powers to create "magic"; Shakra is one of those, a so-called Psych Magus. Such mages summon up their magics with the prowess and sharpness of their minds alone, and though it might seem to lack the raw, unfocused power of regular magic, it makes up for such shortfalls in finesse -- the ability to call upon natural forces even without hand gestures or the spoken word, or from a distance of several yards without hindrance. Generally, rather than supernaturally summoning forces from afar, psycho-magic manipulates -- the air, gravitational fields, even the opponent himself. There are, however, exceptions, as it is with every such branch of magic. Barriers are particularly useful here, as no gesture or word is required -- only an immediate thought -- and oftentimes are far more sturdy than their regular magic counterparts. The usual array of supernatural psychic powers -- telekinesis, telepathy, pyrokinetics -- are available, of course. In fact, Shakra's natural skill with telekinesis is such that he's learnt to "float" in the air by lifting his own body up, increasing his airtime and also his otherwise-average speed.

* Arapacana - Resembling a sword mainly in name, Arapacana fuses advanced technology with archaic magics, for remarkable results. It is very thin, but sharply forged, allowing it to cut with more strength than a normal blade; it's almost entirely black, with a few streaks of gold and silver running along the grip and handguard. From one side of the blade, the left, fire emerges; from the other, electricity; the pommel holds a water-forming stone. The handguard opens at the press of a button to expel a thick wall of steam. For as long as it is held in Shakra's hands, it modifies and improves the magical power around its wielder.

* Bhumi - Stored at Shakra's side, the pistol called Bhumi draws in and releases the energy in the air as physical bullets; it has no limit to its ammunition for as long as there is oxygen and hydrogen available. Still, every gun has its limit of strength and speed, and Bhumi is no different; it can only shoot so fast and so strongly, before its capabilities are surpassed by the opponent. Against particularly deadly foes, it reaches its maximum quickly; when against a more normal being, though, it shows its usefulness with an equal swiftness.

----

Magic Technology Information: Magical technology, sometimes called magitech, is an early form of high technology that combines simple machinery with arcane magics. The theory goes that, by powering certain key devices in a machine with magic, more power is created than through simple labor and manpower; it is, indeed, true. More advanced technology has since come about in some remote corners of the world, but what few technological havens remain outside of those narrow spaces tend to rely on magitech. The traits of magitech devices are dependant solely on the class of magic used to power them. For instance, a gun powered by fire magic would heat the air directly around its bullets while propelling them forward in a thin barrier; the shots would appear to be formed from raw flame, though they are mostly just normal pistols powered by fire propulsion. A sword infused with lightning magic would be able to heat itself without worry of melting, slicing through even steel cleanly. Shakra's own Arapacana is what is known as a multi-magitech sword, meaning that it concentrates on versatility rather than mastery of an element. Indeed, it commands fire, lightning, and water, all in a single weapon; versatility comes naturally to it. The Bhumi is a wind-based pistol, which allows it to draw in and compress air to form ammunition, effectively giving it unlimited bullets. Now is it coming clear? Magitech is used all across this world of ours, though in some places more sparingly than others.

Distinguishing Traits: Half-moon sunglasses, small horizontal scar across his forehead

Personality: Easily excited, both in positive and negative fashion, Shakra is a youth at heart. He's gentle and friendly much of the time, even in battle; but, he does tend to become angry when someone tries to kill him. Wouldn't you be angry if that happened? Essentially, think of a normal thirty-year-old male, and you're on the right track for Shakra's personality.

History: The city Shakra was born unto, Damascus, was a heavily technological one; every house had the basic necessities of life, but they also held significant "extra" magitech devices. His clan was one with a long history of Magitech Knights, the distinguished Hengoh family that had passed down the natural ability of psychic magic. Even from his early youth, Shakra was imbued with the skills and traditions of his family, of his people. He learned to handle a pistol by age eleven; by thirteen, he could wield a short mecha-sword with great finesse. There isn't much to be said of those years, up until his twenty-fifth year, when he at last felt comfortable enough in his fighting capability and scholarly knowledge to journey out into the world. It was three years ago that he received his scar, given by the lizardman swordsman Gong Wu in a heated battle. The scar only served to bind the two together, at the end, and ever since they've tried to keep in contact when they can. Currently, Shakra bases himself out of the village of Poppos, as a scholar and librarian. But, from time to time, he heads out on a leave of absence to further his training.

[Belgaer]

Name: Hades, Pluto, Dis Pater, Orcus.
Clan: None
Hometown: Hades
Age: Undetermined
Height: His height alternates, as all gods have the ability to change size to some extent. In the human world, he does not have this ability though. He is 6ft naturally.
Weight: Depends on his current size. At 6ft, he is 203 lbs.
Gender: Male
Build: Thin. Muscular. Lean.
Species: Deity. Can be killed. When killed, he simply returns to Hades. (He still loses the fight, and DOES die, though he returns to Hades.)
Skin: Hades has pail skin, with an almost grey tint to it, giving him an ill look.
Hair: Bald.
Eyes: (See the picture above. I’m lazy.)
Clothing: Hades wears a toga, as seen above.
Accessories: Hades bares a helmet that, when worse, gives him the ability to become invisible. Though, he doesn’t normally carry this with him. Hades’ scepter, clothing, etc. are all affected by this helmet, though the Flames of Hades are not. Hades carries with him a pad of paper and pen at all times. He also carries a pouch around that holds miniature scrolls of different assortments.


Scrolls: Scrolls can be used with magic to capture an active spell, and force it into a dormant state. Once this is done, the spell becomes part of the scroll, and when this happens, the spell can be used over and over again, and only wears off when the scrolls becomes unusable. An Activation Spell must be used to open the scrolls. Without it, the scrolls will not open. A simple piece of paper will not work to capture a spell, since the paper used must be spelled in the first place. The spells Hades captures are only spells that take a lot of energy. Hades knows these spells in their natural form, but refuses to use them because they drain so much energy.


(I'll add the scrolls later)


Weapons:



This Scepter doubles as an axe, and is 60 inches in length. This weapon is a symbol of power and authority. With it, Hades can call forth demons and the dead from the underworld. He has authority over the dead and demons even without this scepter. He can even summon his demons without using it, but not in large numbers. (Anywhere from 1 to 3.)


Abilities:


[The Flames of Hades]

Hades has always had the ability to generate black fire. Because of this, he has always been fit to rule the underworld, and thus was given rights to do so. Using these flames, he has created a door to the underworld. If any were to pass that door without permission, they would lose all senses as long as they remained in Hades. Thus, they would eventually be tossed out. The fire is a natural part of Hades’ body, mind, and personality; and thus, to send a raging inferno flying into an enemy would take about as much energy as a simple thrust of his fist. These flames have added properties, making them different from normal fire. The flames appear black in color. Also, if one were to be exposed to these flames, they would lose their senses. If someone were to see the flames, they would lose their sight. If one were to smell the flames (Smells the same as Free Magic, which smells of hot metal.), they would lose the ability to smell. If someone were to make contact with the flames, they would lose the ability to feel. If someone were to hear the crackling of the flames, they would lose their hearing. If someone were to breathe in the smoke that the flames produce, they would lose the ability to taste. Though Greek Mythology says that Hades carries a ‘Key to the Underworld’, the “key” is actually the ability to generate and control these flames.


[The Rivers of Hades]

Acheron | river of sadness

Cocytus | river of lamentation

Lethe | river of forgetfulness

Phlegethon | river of fire

Styx | river of hate


Hades has the ability to unleash the power of these rivers upon anyone he wishes. This forces the victim to feel the emotion coinciding with the river being used by Hades. When this happens, everything will appear to be normal, but someone may get small glimpses in the corner of their eyes of a river. The only thing affected by the rivers is the emotional behavior of Hades’ victim. So, the river would not be felt physically, as a normal river would. Also, this river is not physically present, so it does not affect Hades’ fire, nor would it, even if it was present. That’s another strange feature of these rivers.


[Magic]

With Hades’ fascination with the human world increasing, he’s getting more involved with the customs, way of life, and magic. Magic has now become a hobby of Hades’. The magic Hades uses draws energy from both life and death; organic and non-organic; physical and spiritual; and thoughts and dreams.

[Spells]

Rune Spells: These spells require a scrap piece of paper, pen, and a certain natural element that activates them.

[Seal Spell]
Description: Once the rune is written down on a piece of paper, the rune must be placed against an object or surface. Then, some sort of liquid must make contact with the paper, with some kind of pressure against the paper. The quickest, and most ideal way to do this is to spit in your palm, and slap the paper. Can seal two objects together.


[Unseal Spell]
Description: Once the rune is written down on a piece of paper, the rune must be placed against an object or surface. After that is accomplished, the paper must be set aflame. The paper burns unnaturally fast. This unseals things, especially objects sealed together by the Seal Spell.


[Shatter Spell]
Description: Once the rune is written down on a piece of paper, the rune must be placed against an object or surface. This spell, like the Seal Spell requires its element to be pressed into the paper. Its element is earth. Dirt works just fine. If used on the ground, it causes an Earthquake. If used on an everyday object, it shatters to pieces.


[Forested Spell]
Description: To use this spell, the runed paper must be placed on the ground. This spell’s element is plant life of any kind. The plant must be pressed into the paper. This spell causes a massive forest to grow in a large area all around the paper, no matter what kind of area it is. With this spell, a forest could be grown even in the desert, even without water. The forest grown is always extremely thick. Trees only space out just along the edges of the forest.


[Mountainous Spell]
Description: To use this spell, the runed paper must be placed on the ground. This spell’s element is rock. The rock must be smashed into the paper. This spell causes a small mountain to seemingly sprout from the ground, no matter what kind of area it is. With this spell, a mountain could be ‘grown’ even in flattest of lands.


[Dry Field Spell]
Description: To use this spell, the runed paper must be placed on the ground. This spell’s element is dry plant life that would be found on an open field. The plant must be pressed into the paper. This spell causes a vast field to seemingly sprout from the ground, no matter what kind of area it is. With this spell, a field can even be grown on pure rock.


[Volcano Spell]
Description: To use this spell, the runed paper must be placed on the ground. This spell’s element is rock. The rock must be smashed into the paper. This spell causes a small volcanic mountain to seemingly sprout from the ground, no matter what kind of area it is. With this spell, a volcano could be ‘grown’ even in an area where volcanic activity is impossible.


[Infinite Nothingness Spell]
Description: Requires two different runes, and two different pieces of paper (One rune on each). This spell activates the moment the rune is finished being written. Its element is anything. Air works fine, as well as moisture. Again, anything at all will do, thus it instantly activates. This causes everything to disappear except for Hades and the opponent. This even stops the laws of gravity from applying. To undo this spell, it must be recast.


Spoken Rune Spells:


[Hades Spell]
Description: This spell creates a simulation of Hades. This includes the effects of the flames, rivers, and even the demons and dead. Do not be fooled, everything in this simulation is real. To undo this spell, it must be recast.


[Paralysis Spell]
Description: This spell is quite long and must be heard by the victim-to-be. If it works, it immediately paralyses the foe’s body and mind. Once the mind is paralyzed, the victim cannot think, and therefore doesn’t know what has happened or that anything has happen. They feel nothing, know nothing, and can do nothing. To undo this spell, it must be recast. Once this happens, the victim won’t know that any time has past since the spell was originally cast. They will remember hearing the runes being spoken though.


[Activation Spell]
Description: Used to awaken dormant spells, especially Scrolls.


Other:


[Cerberus]

Hades’ Cerberus is a massive, three-headed dog. Man’s best friend indeed. This Cerberus stands about 4ft tall, and is roughly another 5ft long (not counting the tail). The Cerberus is as dark as the bottom of Styx, with eyes as cold and grey as steel. This Cerberus has a bark that can shatter an eardrum and force a human unconscious.


Status: Alive

Personality: Differs at times. Though he is sometimes strict and commands respect from others, he is actually easy-going most of the time. Also, even as ruler of Hades, surprisingly enough, he is not actually evil.

History:
In Greek mythology, Hades (the "unseen"), the god of the underworld, was a son of the Titans Cronus and Rhea. He had three older sisters, Hestia, Demeter, and Hera, as well as two younger brothers, Poseidon and Zeus: together they accounted for half of the Olympian gods.
Upon reaching adulthood Zeus managed to force his father to disgorge his siblings. After their release the six younger gods, along with allies they managed to gather, challenged their parents and uncles for power in Titanomachy, a divine war. The war lasted for ten years and ended with the victory of the younger gods. Following their victory Hades and his two younger brothers, Poseidon and Zeus, drew lots for realms to rule. Zeus got the sky, Poseidon got the seas, and Hades received the underworld, the unseen realm to which the dead go upon leaving the world. Metaphorically, each one received one object: Zeus, a thunder spear; Poseidon, a trident; and Hades, a helmet that gave invisibility to its carrier.
Hades ruled the dead, assisted by demons over whom he had complete authority. He strictly forbade his subjects to leave his domain and would become quite enraged when anyone tried to leave, or if someone tried to steal his prey from him.
Besides Heracles, the only other living persons who ventured to the Underworld were all heroes: Odysseus, Aeneas (accompanied by the Sibyl), Orpheus, and Theseus. None of them was especially pleased with what they witnessed in the realm of the dead. In particular, the Trojan War hero Achilles, whom Odysseus met in Hades (although some believe that Achilles dwells in the Isles of the Blest), said:
"Do not speak soothingly to me of death, glorious Odysseus. I should choose to serve as the hireling of another, rather than to be lord over the dead that have perished."
—Achilles' soul to Odysseus. Homer, Odyssey 11.488

More recently, Hades has became fond of the world above Hades. He has been putting his duties in the hands of his mightiest demon, Pragor, in his absence, as he visits. This is very uncharacteristic of Hades, as he rarely leaves the underworld (at least until lately).

[Destined Fate]

Alright....I'll just post one for now.


Name: Hunter Smith
Clan: None
Age: 23
Height: 5' 11"
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Appearence: Hunter has long black hair that reaches down to his shoulders and has dark blue eyes. He wears a black trench coat that comes down to his ankles with the sleeves cut off, as are the sleeves on his black shirt. He wears baggy black pants that reach down to the ground and he carries a large sword on his back. There are bandages wrapped around his left arm going from wrist to elbow that cover the Blood Scar.
Accessories: None
Weapons: Blood Sword: The Blood Sword is a large silver broadsword that has a tube of blood in the middle, which helps it react with the Blood Scar.
Fighting Styles: 1. Tank: The fighting style is as the name says. The user is like a tank, using brute force to fight with. The user can take large amounts of damage and still fight, plowing through his enemies with brute strength.
2. Aura Manipulation: This fighting style allows the user to mainuplate his aura for offensive or defensive purposes. A person using this fighting style must have an abundance of energy so it can work well.
Transformations: 1. Blood Scar Level 2: The Blood Scar turns black and black scars appear all over Hunter's body. All aspects about Hunter are increased.
Abilities: 1. Blood Scar: The Blood Scar is a blood red scar traveling from Hunter's wrist to his elbow on his left arm. It grants Hunter great power, but also curses him with memores of the past, and even sometimes, unbearable pain.
Techniques: 1. Blood Blade: A blood red glow surrounds the blade of the Blood Sword, along with black electricity. At will, Hunter can send a large red energy blade towards his opponent that is surrounded by black electrcitiy. Can only be done when Hunter has bandages on.
2. Midnight Slash: A black glow surrounds the blade of the Blood Sword. At will, Hunter can send many smaller black energy blades out of his sword. Can only be done when Hunter has the bandages on.
3. Aura Wave: A blood red/black (depending on his form) aura will surround Hunter's left arm. At will, he can throw his arm forward, sending a large aura rushing towards his opponent, surrounded by black electricity. This can also be condensed into a ki ball, covering less of a distance but packing more of a hit if it connects. The more energy he puts into the Aura Wave, the more damage it does.
4. Aura Explosion: A blood red/black (depending on his form) aura will surround Hunter's entire body. At will he can throw his arms out in opposite directions and his aura will move out in all directions, destroying everything in its path. The more energy he puts into the Aura Explosion, the more damage it does.
5. Aura Shielding: Hunter can pull his aura in around his body to create an energy shielding.
6. Aura Implantation: Hunter can implant his aura into any material, organic or not. At will, he can cause the implanted energy/aura to explode.
Status: Alive/Active
Personality: Hunter is a very dark person, due to his past. He doesn't make friends real well and stays distant from most people. Most people would classify him as a longer. Even if he makes friends, which is rare, he hardly ever talks, or shows emotion. But Hunter is always willing for a fight.
History: When Hunter was a child he was part of a large clan that was mainly peaceful, but very powerful. They held something sacred to them called the Shiquan Sword. It was said that one slash from the sword and it would its opponent, no matter where the cut was made, or how deep it was. One day Hunters' brother, Shizuku, stole the Shiquan Sword and slaughtered the clansmen, but what he didn't know is that there was a flaw in the sword, or more like a fail-safe. One out of every thousandth person would survive the cut of the Shiquan Sword, on average. And if they happened to survive, they would be gifted, and cursed with the Blood Scar. Which is what happened to Hunter. He was cursed with the Blood Scar and his brother left, thinking he was dead. Now he is on a quest to find and kill his brother, along with destroying the Shiquan Sword

[JQuest]

NAME: Iridalus

AGE: Unknown

PLACE OF BIRTH: Unknown, he says "West"

CLOTHES: Occacionally wears a hood over his head to hide his irregularly-bright blue eyes and white skin, Iridalus wears long black and green flowing robes, most likely to hide his massive Main Weapon, Earth's Dark Reminder, or EDR as he calls it for short. This sword is about 6 feet long in total, the hilt is about 2.5 ft and is wrapped in leather and Dark Energy beads which were sewn in by Iridalus as channelers to amplify his magical ability. The blade part is about 1 foot wide, and 3.5 ft long, with edges which look like they are throwing off shadows in the same manner as a fire throws smoke. The middle of the sword is clear, but it is solid, as if forged from a near-invisible alloy, which is unknown to people, some believe that it is forged from steels not found in our galaxy.

OTHER WEAPONS:

SHADOWTEAR BOW-This bow was a gift to Iridalus from the guardian spirit of the Moon, Nefertana. He keeps it with him always under his robes. The bow fires not arrows, but rather projectiles of Dark Energy at the speed of light (which, as a pure positive-negative reaction, causes the object struck by the projectile to instantly implode.

TWIN DAGGERS OF JEPTON- These Daggers were actually stolen from the Lord of Jepton (a planet several thousand light years away from Earth) by Iridalus back when he fought for The Creators army on the planet closest to Jepton, Seriose IV. Iridalus was uncontrollably attracted to the daggers, and upon seeing them he knew he could not leave without their pure Dark Energy pulsating through him. He snuck in on the last nite of war and killed Lord Jepton and hid the beautiful Dark daggers away until he was assigned to Earth.


SPELLS AND OTHER ABILTIES: Iridalus has a diverse portfolio of Dark Energy spells. The magiks that he calls upon are strictly of a cosmic nature, he uses the powers of the universe at his disposal. He can summon creatures from beyond death by changing the rift of time through wormholes. He can conjure pure Dark Energy with which to then direct at his enemies, and he can move objects at his will using the Time-Space continuum to actually place the object in a different coordinate in the XYZ map of the universe. Iridalus can transform himself into different things as well, allowing him to take shape of whatever is on Earth, whether it be animals, people or other things. Iridalus is not confined to these abilities, he is always devising new, more exciting ways to tap into the Dark powers of the universe.

HISTORY: Iridalus is an ancient man who is rumored to have invented Magik itself. When asked where he was born he simply replies "The Far West" and when his family, or lack thereof, is mentioned, he quickly changes the subject or avoids the question. One odd thing is when people ask how old he is , assuming that he will say around 20, (which would make sense because this is what he looks like), he instead replies "I have existed since the Creation of Earth." Prophets speak of an entity who, in accordance with The Creators commands, was to stay on Earth as a Guardian throughout all of time. He was assigned this task because this entity had proven itelf in previous battles fighting alongside The Creators Army before the creation of earth. But, after around 10 million years on earth, Iridalus began to become a restless soul. He began playing with Earth's inhabitants as if he were The Creator, doing things he was forbidden to do. He taught humans about the Dark Energies in the UniVerse, and how to harness them to do harm against their enemies. This is how magik spread throughout all of the earth in the middle ages. The Creator noticed this travesty and took his invincibility away, leaving him immortal but still confined to Earth as a punishment, figuring if someone had the bravery to kill him then that would be fair punishment. This entity, now confirmed as Iridalus remains free and wandering restlessly, looking for the ultimate peace.

[GoAnderson]

Name: So'dai Newcastle-Yagami

Also Called: "Soh," "Raine"

Age: 30

Height: 5'5"

Weight: 78 kg.

Gender: Male

Race: Oracle/Human ((Oracles are demi-humans of sorts, mostly made up of magic rather than physical form. They found their beginnings when a single wizard progressed so far in the magical arts that he halved the humanity of his family, infusing them with raw, arcane power. That family was the Newcastle clan, which has since diluted its blood to such a point where the innate form of a magical construct is lost upon normal members of the family. When a specific ritual is inducted, however, then that Newcastle receives once more the body of a demi-human. Oracles in general, those naturally occurring outside of the human world as well as manmade constructs, hold significant magical sway over the world, and are said to be able to alter reality to suit their whims. As a young member of the clan, not even a half-breed in terms of blood-dilution, So'dai possesses only a fragment of this power. He does, however, seek to remedy that...))

Appearence: Though mostly human in blood, the influence of an Oracle heritage shows clearly on So'dai in his bright silver, pupil-less eyes; flowing diamond-like white locks; and the slight tint of gold in his flesh. In terms of clothing, he wears his own, custom-made robes. These reach down only to a bit below the kneecaps, split into pant-like sections down the middle; they cover his entire torso and arms in several layers of simple fabric, and vary in color from blue to black (mostly cool colors). He also wears gloves, to hide his deformed Saber hands. His face is what you'd expect from an average person: handsome, but not exceedingly so -- neutral beauty, if you will.

Accessories: In the folds of his robes, So'dai carries a few potions and antidotes, as well as a ceremonially-engraved dagger for rituals of a... darker nature. Other things he carries include: holy beads, a deck of tarot cards, and a few scraps of paper bills.

Weapons: So'dai uses mostly magic to fight his battles, but he does, also, possess a weapon -- his own two hands. When he was eighteen, he experimented by toying with his innate magic, infusing power into his hands in a very unusual method. The result is evident to any who see his ungloved hands: twisted, gnarled green skin, ridged by sharp veins of a shimmering alloy, which at will elongate to up to three feet in length as blades -- one for each finger, as he wishes. These so-called "Newcastle Sabers" are enchanted to retain the strength of tempered steel, and even if they SHOULD break under the strain of an attack, they may be re-forged through the Ritual of Regeneration. The Sabers might also flatten down into a solidified, shield-like form for defense along the back of the hand, which is more solid... but also much harder to wield due to its combined weight. Save for his Sabers, So'dai possesses no weaponry as we would typically know it.

-- Combat --

So'dai's many years of training in his style of magic, a multi-faceted grouping of spells ranging from speed-enhancement to the creation of a massive electrical charge, et. al., have toned him into a focused spellcaster. Note the term "spellcaster" and not "warrior"; in reality, So'dai is very weak physically and, save for his hand-sabers, has no real method of fighting outside of his magic. The vast amount of power granted him by his heritage, an inherited trait he has learned to accept without knowing where it arises from, allows him to cast his magics in rapid succession, often without tiring for a given period of time.

With spells ranging from simple energy manipulation to wide-scale elemental strokes, to using the symbolism of the Tarot to fight, So'dai is outfitted for most situations. The problem is, mainly, planning ahead so as to conserve enough energy to win.

(( There are those of you who would remember Graymor, the wizard I first created for these boards. You know -- the one with a spell for every occasion? I'm hoping that So'dai will be less... Godmoddish. I'll try to focus on the spells I've already got lined up, but don't be surprised if you see a few different barriers, physical transformations (limited invisibility, for one), and anything else I may end up thinking of. If anyone wants to challenge this character's versatility, just gimme a ring by PM. ))

-- ............ --

Status: Alive/inactive

Personality: So'dai is never trusting of others, having lost his faith in the years past. Always, you'll find him brooding, seething at injustices in life, and ready to pop at a moment's notice. That same brooding, however, also contributes to making him a fairly thoughtful person, almost what you could call sagacious. You might be able to learn a few things about life from him, if he didn't blow your head off first.

History: As a baby, So'dai was abducted by the famed thief of his time, Yon Yagami, and raised as the bandit's own child. He was taught thievery, deceit, pick pocketing; the works. He wondered, of course, about why he looked so different from other boys. The yellowish tint of his skin and his otherworldly silver hair seemed to give him away and, as such, he was never very successful at picking pockets. His adoptive "father" beat So'dai when he failed in his given tasks, and constantly insulted his skills. It was during a heist-gone-bad, in which he was nearly captured by authorities, that So'dai learnt of his true heritage. He had been cornered, snapped up into a small alley, ready for apprehension by the police. It was then, however, that his magic was unleashed for the first time in his fifteenth year, slaying the policemen in a display of raw, explosive might. Bewildered by his actions, So'dai began to press Yon, until at last the thief spat back, "Yeah, I took 'ya! So what?! You're mine... Just like you always will be!!" Again, Death's hand grasped So'dai's, and the young boy slew his "father" with a single Point Gun to the head. It was a beautiful sight for those so inclined near the end, as years of torment were lashed out into Yon by So'dai, until his corpse was nearly unrecognizable with as many bruises and disfigurements had been delivered upon him. Once free of his "mentor," So'dai was free to search out his parents. All he had was a faint inkling in his blood of a life stolen, and even now, he's been wholly unsuccessful in finding them. Along the way, however, he's tutored himself in his own, unique magics, and since then he's become quite the sorcerer for one so young. Parents he lacks; but the power to prevent a betrayal like Yon's was now his. There would be no tears, no looking back; all there was, was forward -- full steam.

Name: Van Trine

Age: 27

Sex: Male

Race: Human

Ancestry: Van is a "Guardsman," one of an elite lineage of sorcerers who make use of shields as their primary style of fighting. His grand-uncle, in fact, was a Knight of the Kingdom, so many years ago. His father was no one special in terms of knighthood or skill, but he still was a decent enough fighter to hold his own.

Height: 6'4"

Weight: 216 lb.

Hair Color: Gray

Hair Style: Sharply angled, divided into two main bangs on either side of the eyes

Eye Color: Baby blue

Clothing: Plain blue chain mail, reinforced with full-metal platings on the shoulders, knees, elbows, and upper torso (the stomach area is also enforced with a stronger material, but not as thickly as with the rest of the vulnerable areas); plain brown leather boots; short black trench coat, filled with many different pockets for assorted items

-- Inside the Trench: Pens & paper; small notes of currency; water flask; trail rations; small knife (for the GOOD food); flint lighter & tinder; bandage wrappings; adhesive (liquid-form)

[b]Weaponry:[b] Simple longsword-and-buckler set, made of tempered steel, reinforced with silver in the spine of the sword and the central web of the buckler; the blade and broadside of the shield are also specially-reinforced

Special Abilities: Being a Guardsman, Van is gifted with a natural ability to create and control shields, barriers, and walls of spiritually-generated force. While most shields extend only a short distance away from the body (excepting projectile attacks), more advanced abilities can be formed away from the body, as well.

General Combat: Shields, shields, and more shields; that's Van's sole fighting ability, which he presses to the utmost. In addition to the normal defensive barriers and stitch-ups, however, he also possesses a few offensive shields -- you'd usually consider it a mistake, but there are, indeed, offensive shields. After all, a shield's job is to "reject" damage, so why not "inflict" it as a reverse, as well? As to what shields there are: I'll let you imagine what possibilities I've come up with so far. In general, hand-to-hand or blade-on-blade combat, Van is about what you'd expect of an average combatant.

Personality: Weighted down by the duties of his clan to his lords, Van has, in his present, become sullen much of the time, always deep in thought, as he shows outwardly. Matters of religion, duty, honor, whatever happens to come to mind; he's pondered them all to death. As such, he's become quite set in his ways, often crotchety and defiant, even to his immediate superiors in rank, if the situation calls for it. He takes no **** from anyone, from the King on down, even if it means defying his heritage and ancestral duties. In fact, he's been reprimanded many times in the past for "behavior unwarranted of an Officer to his Superiors," "impudence and ignorance," and so on. Though, at the times when he defies the ones he "serves," Van feels most alive -- more than any other point in time, even during the happiest of celebrations. In his "impudence," he finds salvation from the rut his family's settled into over the past centuries.

History: Borne of Vince Trine, nephew of Bansh Trine, Van was destined to be a Guardsman from birth onward. From as far back as he could remember, he scraped and bowed to his masters, often enduring beatings and stern "reprimands" from those lords of cruelty. Naturally, as you could imagine, Van's early years weren't much fun; he first developed his quirk of masochistic defiance at age thirteen, during a dispute with his swordsmanship master, if you'd like to know, which is when Van began to unconsciously relish the sharp tongue he was granted by God. By the time he'd reached the age of twenty-four, he had mostly mastered the basic shields of the clan, and had already begun study into the denser stuff. However, it was about then that he first experienced true pain: his childhood friend, Tass Duos, died of mysterious circumstances. The OFFICIAL explanation was that he'd fallen from the stairs and died, but Van knew better. Curious, he led a personal investigation up to the level of his Captain, but there, he was halted abruptly. He never discovered what -- and who -- killed his friend, and the knowledge of his own weakness has tortured him ever since. His training began to slack for a time, as the pain and guilt wracked him. Just a year later, when he was twenty-five, Van fled the kingdom, breathing not a word to even his own mother, equipped only with his sword and shield, to brave the world alone.

(( Yes, I recognize that the history and personality could use some serious work. I'll probably go back and re-work those when I'm more capable. For now, though, I'm pretty content with the character... ))

I'm new to the Battlefield and I've actually never fought in a battle here so I'll go ahead and post my character here. (I only have one. See the warning at the start of the post.)

WARNING! NEWBIE POST! WARNING!

Name- Shadow or The Shadow

Alias- many and mostly unknown

Age- Timeless. Shadow had his beginnings sometime just before the first Deception of mankind. It was said that as punishment for some great wrong he committed, the gods gave him the ability to live and not grow old. Though one may at first find this possibility desirable, Shadow soon became weary of this world and his punishment began. In an effort to regain his mortality and be able to die a peaceful death, Shadow set out to rid the world of the evil Shataiki that remained after the world was ravaged during the first Deception. In so doing he hoped to please the gods and be granted the things he so longed for: a home; a family; the ability to make friends and not have to mourne their passing for eternity while he labored on for a cause that seems unachieveable.

Gender- Male

Weapons-

a. Primary Weapon- Raven Sword. The Raven Sword is an enchanted blade said to have been made by the ledgendary Dwemer poeple. The sword was said to have rested for many years at Ravenshold, allegedly giving the stronghold its name. After the First Great Deception, the fort at Ravenshold was destroyed and the sword was lost. Believing it to be buried beneath tons of rubble, the people did not search for the blade and it was not until the great warrior Tancred Redwan returned from his travels and weilded the sword against the evil Shataiki during the Tribulation succeeding the Great Deception that it was known that the sword still existed. The blade has a silver color, said to be made of mithril. The hilt is black and the gaurd takes the shape of upswept raven's wings, giving the sword its name.

b. Secondary Weapon- Dagger. This dagger is said to have been made by Shadow's own father, who was a blacksmith. It is very precious to him and he would readily give his life to keep it from harm, it being the only thing he has from his past.

c. Projectile- Bow and Arrow. Made from the wood of the holly trees in Vallenwood and strung with Elven hair, it is accurate up to a range of half a mile, though it is usefull to a much longer range as the weilder can easily compensate for the distance as long as there is little wind.

d. Hand-to-hand- Marduk. Shadow developed this fighting style from all of the martial arts that he observered during his long life. It is characterized by fast attacks executed successivley, forcing the enemy to block several blows and leave himself open for attack. Marduk involves many kicks and flips and is very effective at besting large numbers of mostly unskilled foes. Over the years it was changed and manipulated so as to offer the best defence against the fighting style of that certain time period.

Armor- None. Prefers stealth and surprise to an open confrontation. Shadow's apparel is almost all black, allowing him to move undetected easily. He wears a long cloak with a hood to hide his face and muffle any sounds that would betray his movement, however slight they may be.

Magic- Shadow uses little magic other than the ordinary kind that most wood dwelling peoples use to avoid detection. Over the years Shadow came accross many different spells but he usually avoids using them as he normally associates any type of magic with the Shataiki, which are the manifestation of evil in this world.

Forms- Shadow is a human and his only defining factor is that he is immune to aging. Though over the years he has perfected the art of stealth so well that some thought he was a ghost, he is confined to human limits in most areas.

History and Background- Born to a blacksmith in the small town of Willowvale, Shadow was raised as any normal boy of the time would have been. But when the Shataiki started multiplying in the land (feeding and then feeding on the increasing wickedness of the people) Shadow left his peaceful home to combat evil and win fame and fortune. Or so he thought. Sent by his commander to try to find some weakness that the weakening Crusader army could use to defeat the evil Shataiki, Shadow became ensnared by their leader Teelah, and was fooled into betraying the Crusader army. The Shataiki then roamed unchecked through the land, ravaging everything that was good. Horrified by what he had done, Shadow begged the gods to strike him down and let the nightmare cease. Having pity on him, the gods imparted to him some of their power, allowing him to crush the Shataiki stronghold in one final, desperate assault. After the destruction of their home, the Shataiki fled to the far corners of the earth, nursing their wounds and planning the day when they would once again reclaim the world for evil. Exhausted by the attack, Shadow laid down to die. The gods had taken their power, its purpose now fulfilled; but they refused to let Shadow die. As punishment for the death and suffering that he had caused, Shadow was to remain on Earth until he was either killed or the Shataiki were anhialated. After rushing into a battle and refusing to defend himself so as to end his life, the gods raised Shadow from the dead and made him swear an oath that with every breath in his body he would do his best to exterminate every Shataiki in the world. Shadow has flitted in and out of history many times, always trying to rid the world of evil, of the Shataiki. Though most cannot see the Shataiki unless the Shataiki wish them to, Shadow was given the ability to see them in their true form. They take the shape of giant bats with huge, leathery wings and red, pupil-less eyes. Throughout history, The Shadow has combatted the Shataiki by fighting wickedness and encouraging peace. For in doing so he is taking away the Shataiki's only food source: evil. Though Shadow has engaged the Shataiki physically on many occasions when they grew strong and showed themselves openly, the greatest battle has been fought quietly, behind every human war and disagreement. The Shadow has taken many aliases, never staying in one place too long; and it is rumored that many great movers of history, such as King Aurthur and other mythical figures, were truly The Shadow battling the forces of evil throughout the ages; though the facts have long been lost. Shadow was not averse to war and often fought to defend the innocent and the weak. Though he encouraged peace he knew that as long as the Shataiki were in the world no peace would be complete, and he battled constantly against the Shataiki and the unfortunate souls they chose to do their evil. Though he took on the guise of great men from time to time, for the most part he is unheard and unseen; flitting through the shadows and defending the innocent as they slumber. He is constantly tortured by the memories of those he has known and longs for the day when death takes him. He remains to himself when he tkaes on an alias amd hides behind the figures of a great leader or a quiet patriot so as not to get close to anyone. He remains to this day, combatting evil in an ever increasing struggle; whether a great leader, or a quiet Shadow, he is always there, always watching, always protecting, always fighting.

[Luna Mar Crowling]

Name: Scarlet Blacks
Age: 24 (231 vampire years)
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: black
Powers: Vampire, telepathic communicater and shapeshifter (wolf or crow).
History: Making her history a life story. Here is the beginning:
It is a cold winters day and I sit by my bedroom window alone. Snow falls slowly and beautifully then covers the grounds with its whiteness.My blonde hair is wet but I do not care , my room is warm and the fire-place gives a shimmering light with the dancing flames . My mother has called me downstairs numerous times, but with every call I become more deafened with fear. My room is the only safe place I know to hide...to be in...there is no place else where I could run to and cry upon the comfort of a bed. For there is no breast I could lean upon and allow my tears to tumble down cold and painfully. No father to smile when I think my life is not worth living. No true mother to carry me to her bed at night when I scream from a nightmare. The mansion never held a person beloved to me. It never held a wonderful memory until I heard his smooth voice whisper my name as I turn to face him peering through my bedroom door. It is not a clever moment he had chosen to view about my naked body, and so he turns away with red spots upon his delicate face. "My apologizes Miss Blacks, I did not realize..." With that I quicken myself and cover my wet body with a warm towel. "Forgiven. I bathed and was just about to dress myself for the dinner party."
"Yes, your mother has asked me to come and see for you. I shall return to the party, Miss Blacks."
"My mother sent you here? Why hadn't she come to see to me herself?"
"She tires of calling upon your name...as so she told me."
"Then I shall prepare myself shortly, thank you William."
"Anything for you, Miss Blacks."
"I have mentioned before, my name, William."
"My apologizes, but I pay my respects with the proper knowledge that you are the daughter of a wealthy Madam. I am but a servant."
"Servants are well known as people too, I presume?"
"Yes...but not to most. Now, if you will excuse me, I must be off. G'day."
"William?"
"Yes, my lady?"
"I do not wish to go to the party."
"Why is that?"
"Why should I? To show those in need how I have what they do not? To show those that I am the daughter of the most respectful woman amoungst all England? To show that I exist? Why should I show to something I do not want to play out?"
"It is not my place to comment upon your view."
"It is not in my place to have this conversation with a servant, and you still see me speaking to you. Am I correct?"
"Yes...Scalet."
"I haven't an idea as to what I should do."
"If I may say, you should do as your mother asks."
"And why is that?"
"There is a certein guest awaiting for you downstairs by the doorway."
"May I ask whom?"
"His name is but a mystery to these streets. He came from France only days ago."
"My mother invited a stranger?"
"That I do not know."
"Describe this gentlemen you speak of."
"Tall young man, no more than twenty. Strange piercing blue eyes, curly brown hair and completely covered with black clothing."
"I do not know whom he is but as soon as I am dressed I shall be by the doorway. Meanwhile, let him know I am on my way. Understood?"
"Yes, Scalet."
"William?"
"Yes?"
"Save me a dance."
"I am but a servant."
"Who happens to be quite a magnificent dancer." As I look through my large closet I feel his eyes slowly memorizing my semi-naked body. "You may leave, William."
"Yes, Lady Blacks." He closes the door patiently and slowly until I hear the small faint click of the doorknob. "Oh, great. I must now dress into a most unconfortable gown full of diamonds and lace. Shall I forget the shoes to match the horror? I live in castle with servants that are willing to carry me if they have to and yet I am nowhere near content! My mother, the Queen who makes all have pity upon her feet. My father, the King who has no idea what is ever going on around him! If it weren't for his advisors, I wonder where he would be.Where is that other shoe! I know I have it around...ah ha! Under the bed, along with the book I haven't returned to....ouch! Wrong foot..."
"Scarlet!"
"Coming!"
"Scarlet!"
"Coming!" The door opens and my mother looks toward me with disappointment."
"Hurry it up, girl. I want you to meet Sir Blair."
"Sir Blair? Are you sure he isn't trying to take over the world?
"Calm it down, and get ready fast!"
"I'm already finished, and I was told a young man is awaiting me by the doorway?"
"Oh, yes! Quite a young man with a peculiar smile."
"I'll meet Sir Blair in a short while." I rush through the door and down the steps pretending to enjoy my every step as if it were my last steps. Slowly I make my way toward the doorway but the crowd only allows me to see the back of the man's head. "G'day sir, Madam. Genevieve, Leonard...and you must be..." Finally the man turns to face me and I feel myself melt to the floor and disappear into another realm. "I am Lucus Burns, you must be the beautiful Scarlet." He lifts my hand and lightly places a kiss. "Not that I am conceded, but yes that is I."
"Scarlet, shall we take a walk?"
"You may be handsome and charming with your looks and your sweet talks but you are still as stranger to my view and I will not be taken as a fool, Lucus."
"You are absolutly right. You haven't enough trust with me. My apologizes."
"What is it you want exactly?"
"Relax, I am but a messanger from a friend."
"Friend? I honestly wish I had a true friend outside these secluded walls."
"You borrowed a book from him?"
"Oh, you mean Charles! Charles is not my friend, only a librarian not far from here. I did him a favor and he did one for me."
"Pardon me?"
"No, no nothing like that! My, what a crazy little mind you have. Then again, you are a man."
"And what does that mean, exactly?"
"It means you are so closed minded that all you have room for in that pea-sized brain is thoughts like that."
"Well, I sure didn't think the Princess Scarlet Blacks had such an evil mind."
"This is only half of me, you should see the rest."
"Delighted to." Lucus smiles handsomely and I feel my body walk as he leads me outside. "Now, how about that walk?"
"Lucus, you should seal those charms of yours from all women!"
"Why Miss Blacks, are you jealous?"
"Perhaps, Alucard, I am not jealous but insisting upon grabbing your interest. Is it working?"
"I see you have some tricks up your sleeve, too. And yes, it is working."
"Scarlet! It is I, Sir Blair!"
"Whom is Sir Blair, my lady?"
"Another man attempting to ask for my hand in marriage. The foolishness of humanity! Such fools that none care if you are in love or not. As long as you give them what they want everything is just wonderful. Of course my mother and father would never understand my perspectives. They will never understand why it is I that has a different mentality from all those others who only follow the rest of ignorance."
"Ah, yes...the idiots are taking over."
"Yes, indeed."
"Miss Scarlet!"
"Excuse me while I put on my mask of lies and smiles of wonder for the entertainment of a complete stranger."
"If I recall, I am also a complete stranger. Do you have a mask of lies and smile of wonder on, Miss Blacks?"
"You are not a stranger, for you have haunted my dreams with your captivating view. " For a moment I feel myself turn a dark shade of pink and smile down at the ground."G'day, Lucus."
"G'day, Miss Blacks."

The mage made Ven captian of a battalion of zombies, which he planned to use to take over the continent and rule it with an iron fist. However, Ven faked his own death to escape(He hated being ordered around by the mage).Eventually, the mage's forces were halted by other warriors, but Ven still lives, powered by the Mage's sorcery.

Alias: The White Gear

Real Name: Mechanical Footsoldier 3,061, Division 17, of the Grazk Wars. (Easy to see why White Gear is preferred.)

Gender: None (Machine)

Appearence: Slender, white, 9-foot tall humanoid machine. Through the translucent white armor labyrinths of gears can be seen, and gears protrude at elbows and knees as joints (also white). In place of feet, There are gears at the bottom of the legs that it rolls on, enabling it to roll on any surface at any obtuse angle. The head is a diamond shape with a triangular black spot on it as the only facial feature.

Weapons:

The Gearsword- a device that looks like a row of gears attached to a metal base. The gears do in actuality have razor-sharp teeth, so the Gearsword acts much like a chainsaw, except less noisy and cleaner.

Gear Shurikens- Gears with razor-sharp teeth that act like normal shurikens; fired from hands.

Powers:

• Minor control over Chain Reactions and probability.
• Super Strength (Maximum lifting of 65 tons).
• Some sort of invulnerability (Can withstand some blows/impact, heat, and cold).
• Ability to blast waves of energy from the triangle on the head.
• Resistance to rust.

History:
White Gear was once one out of many war robots for an alien race that was involved in a war with the people of Grazk; a planet that absolutely hated the race that was employing White Gear. Soon after the war ended and the robots were being disposed of, White Gear spontaneously developed a sentient mind. It rebelled against the military and fled to the vacuum of space. (Being a machine, he doesn't need to breath or anything) He wanders space now, searching for planets to explore and beings to hunt, as not all of his core programming was wiped out with the arrival of sentience. He occasionally performs random acts of good.
