The Chandra

You are a Warrior in Training at the Country of Altaire training base named the Chandra. This place trains you to be an elite fighter against the Altaire Ruler, Empress Kai. She is pure evil and a terrible leader but is so powerful. She is bent on literally ruling the world. To aid her she has intense armies of horrible creatures. Her laws are harsh. Anyone breaks them and they die. She has spies everywhere to alert her of possible contradictors. The Chandra leader Hunter allows everyone of any race to join. Including elves, goblins, witches, sorcerers, humans, ghosts...etc. However, each trainee is chosen specifically for a Gift that they are born with. It could be any power you have ever dreamed of. Only one power though. You live on base which is located in a very hidden forest disguised by a swamp. There you are taught by Older warriors how to Swordfight, how to Master your gift, and any other things you think necessary. To the Base you have brought one ally with you. Preferrably animal or mythical creature. (ie. unicorn, dragon, phoenix,lion...etc.) to aid you. This organization is Altaire's last chance to prevent world domination by the terrible Empress. You are all bonded by the one belief that Empress Kai is a horrible ruler and that her downfall is necessary.
All the trainees age from 13-18. You can be a trainer or a trainee. I am going as far as saying you could be an animal/mythical creature ally also. Just describe your partner too.

No god modding
No killing off other characters

history- The younger brother of empress Kai. She secretly performed black magic experiments on him, enhancing his abilities far beyond the normal scope. She had intended to use him as her general, but with the help of his dragon he escaped. However the experiments changed Shade in ways not even he understands. Occasionally he will go berserk attacking both friend and foe in wild blood lust, he clings both to his sanity and humanity, which Kai attempted to strip from him. Eventually he made his way to Chandra hoping to use his abilities to fight his sister, and gain control over himself. His sister considers him her masterpiece and is determined to recapture him at any cost.

personality- The best way to describe Shade is intense. Arrogant, graceful, and passionate, he has a temper, but years of experience have taught him to think with his head. Shade treats everyone he meets with some degree of mistrust. He lives by his own code and has survived alone for much of his life. The rest of his personality will be revealed with time.

ability- The ability to manipulate light and shadow magic in all it's forms. He send bolts of energy create blades of shadow, and dissolve his body into pure light or darkness. The rest of Shade's abilities are as yet unknown even to himself. Only his sister knows the true extent of his powers.

disability- Prone to dark rages, he wears a bracelet that shocks him into fainting if he uses to much power, his sister used it to control him and Shade was never able to remove it after his escape.

ally- dragon Star, http://media.photobucket.com/image/drag ... n.jpg?o=34

other skills- He's learned to survive in the wilds, a skilled acrobat and and martial artist.

other- Up for love, but after his sister's betrayal you've got your work cut out for you, only arrived at Chandra a few days ago. Claustrophobic, he hates small, dark places.

Name: Eriphyle Lowri (Eri)

Age: 15

Race: Half elf, half bird-demon

Gift: air manipulation

Status: Trainee

Appearance:
She has dirty blond hair that goes to her waist and eyes blue eyes so light that they appear white. She is very tall and lanky, proof that she is part bird-deamon. She has a pair of wings that only appear when she wishes them two, though it is very painful when they come.

Personality:
She's sort of skittish due to the bird-blood in her, but generally is a sociable person. It takes her a while to actually trust people but she enjoys getting to know people and learning to trust them if the right person comes along. Her emotions change like the wind, but she's normally very cheerful. She's very sarcastic, too, and diplomacy isn't her best subject. She'll speak her mind no matter what even though it tends to make some people mad.

History:
She grew up with her elfish mother, learning the ways of the woods and of the bow when the Empress attacked their village when she was 8. Her mother was killed and she learned of her demon hearitage when her father came to her in his human form. He taught her what her demon side could do (wings and speaking to birds). She's been wandering the wilderness and has recently found Chandra.

Ability:
She can fly and manipulate the air in most circumstances.

Disability:
Air doesn't particularily harm anyone and is useless in most circumstances. She also isn't very diplomatic and can get into some pretty harrowing places with the use of her mouth. When she calls her wings, she is in great pain and is entirly helpless.

Nightshade-

Shade winced as the chains holding him tightened, so he couldn't struggle. Kai leaned over him, giving him that secret smile. As if she knew what was in his heart. She held a blood-rune, one of the darkest magicks in her hand, it's edges glowed white hot, heated in the forge across the room. Gently, she smoothed back a strand of his silver-blue hair. "You can do this for me, can't you baby brother. Don't worry Shade, it'll only hurt a little, I promise."

She place the rune on his chest, just above his heart. Hissing Shade bit his lip to keep from crying out, then Kai began the incantations, and he screamed. His voice still hoarse from the last session. The only thing in his world was pain and his sister's voice. "You're the only family I have left Shade you have to help me."

Throat locked so he couldn't shout, Shade bolted upright as he came awake. Light filtered in through the window as the sun rose. Glancing at Star, he reached out stroked the little dragons white scales. "Just a dream. We're not there, we're safe now."

Standing, Shade moved to dress, but froze in front of the mirror. He wore only a pair of black breeches, having long since realized any shirt would just get soaked in sweat when he slept. His entire upper body were covered in red black tattoos. They spiraled out from the heart rune, and swirled along his arms, if he twisted around, Shade knew his back would be just as covered in blood-runes.

Lips tightening Shade slammed his fist into the mirror, breaking it. He glanced at his hand, watching the small cuts close instantly. Shade grabbed the first shirt he could find, and left the room. He knew, despite his best efforts, Kai had still left her mark on him.

Caden~

"Caden! Caden get up! C'mon!" A deep, throaty voice demanded into the brunette's ear, waking her from her peaceful slumber. A large set of jaws gripped onto the back of her undershirt and wretched her away from the marshmellow-soft pillows of her bed. Caden cracked a dark green eye open right after she made contact with the hard ground and peered out the window, getting greeted by nothing but a black abyss.

"Enalu. Do. You. Have. Any. Idea. What. Time. It. Is?" Caden asked tightly, her ebony eyebrows knitted together with anger as she drug herself off the ground and into a change of clothes. She finished it off with the normal three feathers, red, orange, and green, in her hair and a porceline mask tied securely to her thigh. Following close behind Enalu, she walked out of her toasty warm home and out into the crisp, morning air.

"I don't care what time it is. We're going to sparr before training. Besides, I wanted a run around the kingdom grounds for a while," he smirked tiger-like and turned his side to Caden, who smiled widely and jumped on his spotted back, both racing across the grass.
