Aradia is a land where sorcery is rampant; with even the common peasant using it to do his or her chores, it is a part of everyday life. As much as personality differs from person to person, however, so does their magic; two people may have the same type of magic, but they use it in different ways.

However, recently, a certain fact has come to life; children unable to use magic are increasing, and in dire numbers. No one knows where they come from, or why. What people do know about these "Abnormals" is that they drain a person of his magic entirely with a single touch, oftening rendering them completely senseless and in some cases, drained to comatose or death. Attempts to understand these children are fruitless; they themselves are usually without awareness, unable to answer anyone's questions.

There are also those who are simply called "vampires"; just like the Abnormals, the vampires drain other people of their magic. However, many of them are actually sane, and are able to control their ability to drain. Moreover, these people used to be sorcerers; very powerful ones, actually. Addicted to magic, but somehow having lost their ability to regenerate, some wander the streets, hurting inside but unable to attack anyone; others lurk in the shadows, relieving their pain by draining people entirely of their magic. Some hide in plain sight as normal people, pretending to have magic so as to mask their helplessness.

With this happening all over, the people have taken up arms against the Crown, believing that it is the work of the person who stepped up as Ruler of Aradia a few years ago - and certainly, they have reason to be suspicious. It is since his reign started six years ago that these occurences have started to pop up everywhere. Others are prophezing the end of all magic, and are advocating technology as a counter-measure - and as an answer to all the issues that have risen up. Interestingly, the Ruler himself is behind this movement, despite he being one of the most powerful sorcerors of the country.

Who are you: a normal, or a vampire? One of the members of the resistance or a regular ol' sorcerer? Are you someone who is close to an Abnormal? Are you a vampire, battling with you desire for magic and your sanity? Or are you just a bystander, watching the world go by, and not wanting to do anything about it?

Note: When thinking about technology, think steampunk. E.g., clockwork, gears, chains, wires.

Principles of Magic:

Spoiler

- As stated, people in this world have different magical systems, each to their own. Some may share types of magic, but the way they execute it is often different, and the way they use it is often different as well. For example, take two people of the Earth Magic type; one may be able to grow plants with the flick of a finger, but another person will be able to create cracks and even earthquakes in the ground. They won't, however, be able to replicate each other

- Magical power often depends on years and years of learning; and sometimes, it might be related to genetics. Someone from a family of powerful sorcerers is expected to have a good amount of talent. Magical power is judged by how many people you can affect with one fell swoop. (For example, someone who can grow plants might not be considered powerful; someone who can animate them, however, is quite a different thing.)

- The more magic you have, the higher your standing in society. This means that people with less talent in magic are stuck doing the lower jobs of society.

- Choose your spells wisely - oftentimes, a range of small castings can be more effective than a single strong spell.

- Magic is typified into five elements: Earth, Water, Wind, Air and Metal. However, don't confuse people of the same type as having the same advantage against another element. It differs from ability to ability.

- Almost everyone in this world has learned their magic since...well, kindergarten, you could say. It is a part of the basic curriculum. (Think, subject named Magic that takes place on Thursdays, for example.) After graduation, most sorcerers learn their craft by practice; and self-study.

- There are also those who can talk to animals; this is a very rare type of magic, and these sorcerers are naturally thought to be of the Earth type. However, most people tend to stay away from these sorcerers, since their magic is rather...odd, compared to the other abilities.

Rules:

- All basic YWS rules apply.

Here are the elements. There's only room for 2 per element, so choose wisely.

Spoiler

There are six elements in Aradia that make up the land's magic
-Fire: very offensive and can be dangerous if not properly controlled. Fire can be genetic or earned but never stolen. Sorcerors/sorceresses with this element believe that fire comes from one's fury, therefore only the calmest could control fire without self-consequence. Fire sorcery consists of burning almost everything in one's path and other fire-related magic. This element, being genetic, can be made known by the user's anger.
-Water: more of a healing element than an offensive type of sorcery. Water can be genetic or earned but never stolen. Sorcerors/sorceresses with water are said to be healers, but some who learn from experience can also control ice if the occasion calls for it. Water sorcery consists of healing properties, cleansing, and any kind of magic water-related. This genetic element can be known either by the user's coldness or sorrow.
-Earth: one of the offensive types of sorcery and also a healing element. Earth is entirely genetic, which can also be stolen but never earned. Anyone with earth has different powers entirely- one could control plants and make them grow; the other could create landslides and other earth-related disasters. Earth sorcery consists of healing properties, earth-related magic, earth-related disasters, and plantlife-control. This element, when genetically gotten, is made known by the user's sheltering nature and calmness. When stolen, Earth makes the thief become nurturing for his/her fellow thieves.
-Wind: offensive, but not offensive enough to hurt anyone. Wind is mostly genetic, but can be stolen as well. Anybody with this element are known to have certain differences- some cause windstorms or hurricanes, others (when band together, depending on the group's size) can cause either a whirlwind or a tornado. Wind sorcery consists mostly of wind-related magic. This element is made known by either fury or calmness to those who have it genetically. When stolen, the thief is calm.
-Metal: offensive and defensive, depending on the class. Metal is the only element that is entirely genetic. Sorcerors/sorceresses of the lower class use this element for trade and are often masters of the trade. Metal sorcery is mainly consisting of smithing, but there's sometimes the occasional alchemy at some point. This element is made known by the user's body build- strong-muscled with rough hands.
-Dark: the most dangerous of sorcery and greatly discouraged by the other sorcerors of Aradia. Dark Sorcery is not genetic or be stolen, but can be earned by apprenticeship. Unlike most sorcery in Aradia, the element Dark can consume the user into darkness. Some future apprentices believe that Dark sorcery can cause immortality, some can't handle the strength of Dark sorcery and die before apprenticeship is complete. Dark sorcery consists of necromancy and curses (?). An apprentice of Dark sorcery is very rare since most who tried have died fighting to control such terrible magic.

Name: Morgan Darkrai
Gender: Male
Age: 34
Appearance: Parchment pale, six feet tall, raven hair, deep blue eyes, and athletic build. Morgan is quite muscular, but doesn't waste his physical strength on anything except stealing.
Skills: Dark and Water Sorcery. Once a master healer, but now a great necromancer and curse-caster. Water allows the sorceror to heal even the deepest of wounds, depending on how much experience the sorceror has. Dark is the most dangerous of elements and greatly feared for apprentices that train for this element have often died or get consumed by the darkness this element brings. Morgan is a master of Dark more than Water, but when alone he uses Water for spiritual purposes. Why such, not even the guards know.
Personality: Morgan is heartless to those who oppose the Crown and rules Aradia with a fist of iron. When alone with a woman, he's like a gentleman and quite respectful to the woman's boundaries. Unlike previous rulers of Aradia, Morgan's not very kind to the peasant folk- in fact, taxes are often doubled or tripled to keep them in line. Often than not, he knows that he's one of the few sorcerors that can see, talk to, and control an animal spirit. This puts him in a tight spot whenever a member of his enemy's people - the Masked Resistance- is imprisoned by the guards. Morgan is a bit paranoid, but it never shows on his face.
History: Morgan is the eldest son of a water sorceress and a metal sorceror. Morgan is also the big brother of Meredith Darkrai. Morgan once had a happy life with his small but loving family until he was 21 years old. It was then his parents were murdered by mauraders and the Aradian King won't respond to Morgan's persistant plea for justise. Consumed by rage, Morgan began stealing different kinds of sorcery that can be stolen. It was two months after the murder when Morgan was offered apprenticeship for five years. At 26, he became a master Dark sorceror and became the new King of Aradia at 28. His reign is now running six straight years with no competition to become his successor. Whatever happened to his beloved sister during his absence has been a mystery that Morgan hasn't been able to solve.
Up for love: No. Morgan is straight, but he's not up for love because he's already married.
Other: Morgan has a spirit animal that only he can see, talk to, and control. This spirit is a dragon with pitch-black scales and golden eyes. Morgan named this dragon Kali, for she is destructive. She shares Dark Sorcery with Morgan, but obeys his every command without question or complaint. To Kali, she and Morgan were meant to be a bonded pair; to Morgan, Kali is the key to bringing down the Masked Resistance.

Name: (Both names. Or you shall be keeled.) Delilah Redkei

Gender: (Uh, duh?) Female

If she doesn’t like you she becomes cold and angry with you. She’s terribly afraid of being alone but doesn’t show it as she’s been alone most of her life. She’s tough and not afraid to speak her mind and does not enjoy conflicts over stupid little things.

History: Delilah was born to loving parents and lived in a pretty small house with her parents, her brother, and her grandparents. she never took the small house for granted because she knew she was loved. when she was 4, she was at school. her friend had fallen and was crying. when delilah reached out to touch her shoulder she felt an odd sensation and pulled her hand away. She ran home after school and told her parents who knew little of the abnormals but knew that their daughter wasn't the same as the others. they talked to their close neighbors who rudely suggested they kick their kindergarten daughter out. the parents sent the girl to live with her cousins across the forest, but the girl ran away soon after. She's been on her own ever since.

Up for love: Yes, straight

Other: uhh...not that i can think of.,

Name: Meredith "Merry" Darkrai

Gender: Female

Age: 33

Appearance: Merry wears a mask over her eyes and nose, a sign of the resistance. She has long, flowy blonde locks with blue eyes. She has a pointy nose and thin lined lips. She is 5'5'.

Skills: (This is where your sorcerer's magic type and ability description goes. Minimum 50 words. If you are a vampire, erase this field completely.) Merry is skilled with the sword and a bow and arrow. She can shoot her enemies from a far distance. Her magic type is Wind. She can disappear and float anywhere in a wind form. For years, she had tried to control the weather but have not succeeded yet. (ill come back when I think of some more.)

Personality: (Minimum 50 words. Be descriptiiiive.) Merry is like a mother-type yet defiant. She cares about the normal people and the resistance members. At times, she can be overprotective and seem cold hearted. She thinks about her decisions and stands by them. She is the serious type. She can be a bit aggressive to others especially vampires and adnormals. She tells lies a lot but she hates it when people lie to her. She is very strict with rules on the resistance.

History: (Details, we want details. At least be one paragraph long, and none of this they don't remember nonsense. Even if they don't, explain WHY they don't!) Merry is the younger sister of Morgan. After her parents died when she was 20, Merry took care of the family estate and land. After five years, Merry lived there with her last husband, George, and a handful of servants. Soldiers came and took the land and killed her husband and took almost everyone's powers. Only her and her three servants remained. To see for justice for her own and for others, she joined the resistance. She recently became the leader of the resistance.

Up for love: um...yes but she is engaged.
Other: (Anything forgotten.) She loves to teach people how to use magic. She is the leader of the resistance.

Name: Kasis Balti

Gender: Male

Age: 29

Appearance: Kasis is fairly tall, but not particularly well built; he is not physically strong. He wears varying clothing; whatever fits the situation, although you can always expect for him to be wearing some kind of hidden armour. His hair is short, cropped and brown, the same colour as his eyes. His teeth are black, and many have fallen out to be replaced by metal substitutes. He is branded with a strange symbol on his throat.

Skills: Kasis is a powerful sorcerer whose magic is of the Metal type. He prides himself on being well adapted to survive what he believes to be the coming technological revolution, being able to manipulate and control most coal and steam based machines. Having never had a formal education, Kasis can not control his magic quite as well as other sorcerers; however, this is quite often one of his greatest strengths.

Personality: Kasis is generally quite good natured and jovial, although he is a notoriously bad loser. Persevering to the point of insanity, Kasis never gives up until a matter is resolved. Kasis is one to hold a grudge; even if his life depends on it, he will never forgive someone, at least not fully. It is of great importance to Kasis that his enemies get their karma.

History: Kasis came from a poor family. It is a subject of some debate as to whether he is Aradian or from the neighbouring kingdom, as his family was from another nation and the town he was from has a long history of being occupied by Aradia’s enemies. When he was young and barely able to walk, his town was conquered by the neighbouring kingdom and his family were taken from him (nobody knows what happened to them, but it certainly wasn’t pretty). He escaped, discovering his magic in the progress by causing a fire-belching machine (later known as a cannon) to explode and kill most of the engineers operating it.
Kasis escaped to the closest city in Aradia, where he inadvertently assisted the garrison there by crying when his shelter was destroyed by a fireball and accidentally breaking a lot of the enemies’ siege equipment. He has never been able to harness such power again.
Being a homeless urchin, Kasis had to go without an education, instead practicing his abilities near the local technology sect. He was related to a string of mysterious deaths there, although he did not know at the time. It is not known how he survived, although it is thought that threats were among his arsenal of unpleasant instruments.

Up for love: Kasis was once romantically involved in the past. She betrayed him. He killed her.
In other words, no.

Other: Kasis has a habit of polishing his metal teeth with his clothing.

Name: Jasmine Salina

Gender: Female

Age: 21

Appearance:

Spoiler

Jasmine has long, dark brown hair, and stands just under average height at about 5'3". She is not particularly muscular and has a slight build. She favours dresses and skirts, often scowling at the idea of having to wear more practical clothing.

Skills: Jasmine is of the Fire type, as often becomes obvious to those who meet her. She is able to create fireballs and to heat up things around her, though she has limited control over this and the level of her power depends largely on how strongly she is feeling - in order to use her powers to full capacity she must either drag up strong emotions from the past or be suitably emotionally invested in the current situation. Her powers often come to use without her consent when she is in a volatile mood.

Personality: Jasmine has a highly temperamental personality, rarely feeling anything by halves. She has a tendency to throw her everything into a situation, and is dangerously stubborn when it comes to changing her mind - she dislikes being proven wrong and will often raise a grudge against people who do so. She doesn't see reason easily, trusting her intuition above facts, and follows her emotions despite the pitfalls they often lead her into. She is quite hotheaded and quick to anger, though when this energy is directed to a single cause, there is little that she is unwilling to do to achieve it.

History: Jasmine was born in the capital of Aradia, in one of the middling areas of the city, as the eldest child of a Fire sorceress and an Air sorcerer. Most of her life was lived out in relative peace with her brother and parents, the four of them getting by despite crippling tax raises and crop failures. Jasmine heard her parents whisper tales of the Ruler, of his Dark powers, but paid them little heed. That was until a year ago, when her younger brother's powers were stolen from him by one of the Abnormals. Fuelled by rage, Jasmine almost destroyed her own house in a blazing fire, before leaving to seek revenge with the Masked Resistance, who she prays will reunite her with the person who stole her brother's abilities.

Up for love: Yes, probably straight

Other: n/a

Name:(Both names. Or you shall be keeled.) Fenezari Thaertus

Gender:(uh, duh) male

Age:(Age range is from 16-34) 21

Appearance:(Pictures are optional, words are absolutely necessary. Anime pictures are strictly prohibited.) Tall, has long light brown hair with natural red streaks, gaunt without appearing overly thin, wears primarily grays, blacks, and reds while traveling in the city wears greens, blues, and brown when in the forest, almost always has on metal vambraces and gloves with symbols for fire and water stamped into them.


Skills:(This is where your sorcerer's magic type and ability description goes. Minimum 50 words. If you are a vampire, erase this field completely.) Has skills in both fire and water magic. Also is highly trained in using a halberd, a type of spear/ ax, he can use the halberd as a focus for his fire magic and is extremely proficient at fighting at close range using his whole body occasionally covering it in flames and fighting as such. He uses water magic when in combat for defense by manipulating water magic to create ice. He's also extremely gifted at using water healing magic using it both to heal major wounds and manipulate others emotions. A gift that he has developed using water magic is to refract light and create illusions. Another trick is what he has decided to call aquatic resonance an ancient skill taught to him Pellentesque similar to echo location Fenezari can send out a wave a water energy that pin points people and object's location.

Personality:(Minimum 50 words. Be descriptiiiive.) Due to the fact that he uses two very different magics he's a very unusual person. He's an extremely passionate person but when you look deeply into his eyes you see an intense sorrow. The mixture of emotions often makes him keep to himself often going off by himself to gaze up at the stars or at the clouds playing a flute or sit around in a tree writing. When he's in a large group he tends to perform carrying around a mandolin or flute depending on whether or not he wishes to sing or recite poetry. He shows a fierceness at times but has a care free and kind spirit often disapproves of Morgan's cruelty to people and is almost a polar opposite to Morgan. Still he tries to maintain a friendship with Morgan as well as keep him as an ally. He views each action of the Crown objectively regardless of being extremely loyal.

History:(Details, we want details. At least be one paragraph long, and none of this they don't remember nonsense. Even if they don't, explain WHY they don't!) Fenezari was orphaned at the age of 4 when his parents were killed by a band of thieves. He encountered Pellentesque for the first time that day, Pellentesque helped Fenezari use magic far beyond his years to kill the thieves. His eccentric uncle, known to everyone simply as Uncle, a sorcerer for the Crown raised him and taught him the basics of fire magic. Fenezari did encounter Morgan on a few separate occasions and Morgan took an interest to the young boy with a surprising flair for magic at such a young age. Fenezari looked up to Morgan and felt his heart break as he watched as the king denied Morgan help after his family died. Fenezari became dedicated to joining the king's guard in the hope of being able to help Morgan. Fenezari learned a way of focusing fire magic through a halberd as well as his feet and hands covering them with fire and filling him with a speed rivaled only by wind magic users. Pellentesque helped him master water magic teaching him how to protect one's self with ice and to heal others and himself even when on the brink of death. Bye the age of twelve the king allowed him to join the guard and was sending Fenezari on regular guard missions. He later taught himself cartography as to make maps of several locations, in his spare time he learned music and poetry as to amuse himself and others. When Morgan came to overthrow the king Fenezari subdued his fellow guards. He felt no need to kill them , but those that would not remain in the guards under Morgan were killed by him.

Up for love:(Yes, no, and what orientation.) Yes straight but at the same time comfortable with displaying affection with people regardless of gender.

Other:(Anything forgotten.) He has the ability to see and communicate with the spirit of a flying fox bat named Pellentesque a spirit that embodies both fire and water.

Name: Maya Crawford
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Appearance: long dark straight hair, fair and translucent skin, wide brown eyes, thin lips, long nose, defined cheekbones and jawline. Maya is slim and slender and is only 5'2" tall.

Skills: Wind Sorcery. Maya had practiced Earth sorcery until she was 16 because she wanted to be like her mother, a skilled Earth sorceress, but she had never succeeded mastering the skill. It was the day after her 16th birthday when she discovered that Wind magic is for her- when she got so excited to open her gifts and because of her agitation, everything in the house suddenly got blown up. She then learned that she inherited the skill from her grandmother, her father's mother. Maya is still practicing her gift especially in controlling it with her emotions. Her parents, both skilled and gifted sorcerers and developed early, considered her as the only late bloomer of the whole family tree, so far.

Personality: Maya has a melancholic-choleric type of personality. Her melancholic side dominates her, and she is naturally a thinker. She has mood swings- she is irritable at times, but can be incredibly creative when she is calm and serene. Maya is soft-spoken and a loyal friend. But when she is betrayed, she holds a grudge against the person who betrayed her. Her choleric side is the personality that she developed because of her surroundings and how she was brought up. She is the only child of the family, so she is somewhat spoiled. She doesn't like to be corrected, especially if the person dictating her is not someone she trusts. But her choleric side gives her the true spirit of a leader and a doer.

History: Maya was born to parents Erik Crawford and Helen Villania. Her father is of pure Aradian descent and her mother is of Aradian and mixed foreign descents. Her family is known to the land of Aradia because of their skills. This is the reason why Maya is pressured to do better and slightly disappointed that she discovered her talent kind of late. Her parents got her a personal trainer (Dianara Starr) when she was 17, who trained her in conjuring hurricanes and windstorms, but Dianara went missing later on, and rumors said she might have been killed by Abnormals in the middle of her research about them. Maya, feeling depressed when her trainer went missing, left Aradia for awhile and found herself stepping on a foreign land. There, she experienced studying in a university, hid her powers, learned life without magic, and fell in love with a human. Later on, as their love grew stronger, Maya's fears grew stronger too. She became afraid that if her lover would find out who she really was, he would never accept her and love her anymore. That was when she decided to come back to her parents, to Aradia, to the land where she belongs.

Up for love: Yes. Straight.

Other: Though Maya never mastered Earth Sorcery, she hasn't got rid of her knowledge about it. Only now, she is focusing on strengthening Wind Sorcery, her dominating gift.

Here's the post you wanted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Name: Chaos Errandel

Gender: Male

Age: 25

Appearance: Long black hair drapes around his head. His face is very pronounced and his chin is slightly elongated, but not to an eye drawing extreme. His face is long and skinny. Large eyebrows make his deep hazel eyes stand out when they are visible. His normal garb is overly large commoners clothes and a dark maroon cloak that is usually drawn over his head. Underneath his covered clothes are multiple scars both big and small streaking from his upper body down to his legs.

Skills: Due to his past Chaos had to learn to defend himself thus he began to master the art of reverse Earth. Instead of using the earth magic as an offensive technique he was forced to master a defensive style. The main form of spell Chaos uses is one in which a layer of dirt/rock and other parts of earth form against his skin underneath his clothes. This prevents most physical damage to his body allowing him to fight in close quarters without worry. His second defensive technique is a manipulation of the ground around him. He displaces sections of the ground and changes their angle to deter those who would assault him. Lastly his only offensive ability also occurs at a close range and puts Chaos in danger so he rarely uses it. The process doesn't take long but when it happens he is left completely open to any attack. This ability involves removing the rock armor underneath his clothes and essential shooting it at the enemy smothering his or her body.

Personality: In one sentence, a loner. Although he has a powerful magic technique he has always been alone with no one beside him. This has led him to develop the attitude of a sad and weary onlooker. Mostly he stays to himself and
looks at the world as if it is a horrible thing. When he sees friends together he fears for each that their relationship will turn out like his. Above all else you could say that Chaos has always dreamed for a friend or someone who he could trust perfectly in every moment, but he has never opened up because of his past.

History: Like most children discovered with the gift of rare and powerful magic he was sought after at a young age. His parents who normally cherish children with that gift left him and forsook him. Due to this he was left at the mercy of anyone who wanted his power. This ended up placing Chaos into an undesirable situation in which his master, the owner of the house he stayed at and the one with full guardianship, was a tyrant. Apart from Chaos he had a 'collection' of children with extraordinary or above average skills. Some conceived it was a plot by the man himself that allowed him to obtain each child.

Suffering uncountable beatings and other obscenities he ended up escaping from the tyrants hand at the age of 16 when he became a drifter. Although he escaped he did not leave unscathed. Left behind as a reminder are the scars and memories that remain.

Up for love: Possibly it depends on if someone could find a way to his heart. STRAIGHT

Name: Charlotte Noble
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Appearance: Short and thin, body built for speed, not strength. Raggedly- cut brown hair with brownish-red highlights that is kept in a ponytail. Piercing bright blue eyes.
Skills: Charlotte uses Wind and Water Sorcery. She uses her skills mostly just to keep people away, and hardly uses them to hurt anyone. She has learned how to control ice, but rarely uses it. Instead she uses the water sorcery to heal. She uses wind sorcery mostly to cause distractions so that she may escape without a fight.
Personality: Charlotte is quiet and shy. She hates being the center of attention, and will avoid it constantly. She’s kind and sweet. She will never let anyone die if she can help it, even if they tried to kill her first. Her biggest battle strategy is diversion because it will avoid any unnecessary deaths. She likes hiding in shadows and anything away from the light so that she is not noticed.
History: Charlotte was raised in a wealthier house; mostly by nannies (Her father had some government job). But when she was 15, she embarrassed her father by accidently spilling wine over a co-worker and made him loose a new job opportunity. Outraged, her father disowned her, and kicked her out of his house. Since then, Charlotte has had to live and survive on her own.
Up for love: Yes; Charlotte is straight.
Other: Masked Resistance

Name: Azul Bordeur

Gender: Male

Age: 34

Appearance: Azul is a large man, about 6'6" with a scraped bald head and scars all over his face and skull. He has pale yellow hair when it grows and a scruff of a beard. He has thick arms, and bright blue eyes. He has a kind, but hard face and a welcoming smile when he uses it. He usually wears simple gray robes that make it hard to tell how big he is. He has a calm air about him, and seems to radiate peace and safety wherever he goes. He carries a wood walking staff with him, and though it looks ordinary, it is his primary weapon.

Skills: Azul uses earth and dark magic. He is a master of both, but uses earth the most and rarely uses dark anymore so he would probably be a bit rusty if he started again. He carries a large wood walking staff with himself at all times and a few pouches with different herbs in them. His mastery of earth has allowed him to control plants, trees, and shrubs of many types. It also allows him to harden his staff so it is as strong as metal, or to lengthen or shorten it at will. He can even turn the edge of it into a point to use as a spear. His magic with plants also allows him to use it for healing and he is skilled in using herbs, poultices, and plants for healing. He has minimal control of actual rock and stones, but when he combines it with his Dark Magic he can wield a few horrible spells. He was trained how to fight by the King's Own and is skilled in most close combat situations.

Personality:I guess you could call Azul the gentle giant, except for the fact that he has a very dark side. He is usually very calm and steady, not easily moved or affected by situations. He was trained by the Kings elite so he simply takes everything in stride and does his best to adapt to situations. He is currently trying to make a turn for the better, and therefore is going out of his way to help people when he can. Overall he doesn't talk much, but he is always willing to listen to someone. At the same time he is prone to dark moods, and when he gets in a violent rage there is little to stop him. Sometimes he can't even tell friend from foe.

History: Azul was born to a middle class family, and upon discovering he controlled the element of earth he was whisked away to be trained at a very young age. He was very skilled and by the age of seventeen he joined the King's army as a Master Sorcerer of Earth. He was a soldier who rose up through the ranks and eventually joined the King's elite unit of assassins at the age of twenty one. It was there that he learned the Darker arts and after years of training he became a Master Dark Sorcerer. In the time following he carried out many missions for the crown. Murders, assassinations, and outright slaughter. He did whatever the King commanded and his heart grew hard. He rarley used his earth magic and only did so in conjunction with the Dark magic. When he turned 28 a new King took power and all the Assassins were dismissed from service or killed. Some said it was because the new King wanted his own he could trust, and others said he simply wished to do things a different way. All that Azul knew was that the country he had served disowned him and kicked him out with a few bits of coin. The next couple years he wasted most of his time drinking and whoring his way around, spending what little money he had and picking up odd jobs - which mostly consisted of beating people - to help pay for things. After a couple years he was homeless and living on the streets with dozens of warrants out for his arrest. An old Earth Sorcerer named Keenan found him and helped him clean up. Azul never asked the old man why, but he helped him and learned once again the wonders of Earth Magic. Keenan was an earth healer and under his tutelage Azul began to once again connect with the magic of his birth. He helped Keenan in his work as a healer to the cities poor, and stopped using Dark Magic. Him and Keenan help anyone who needs to be healed, and they have often helped those of the resistance though they are not part of it. They live in the slums in a small house, and though they do charge for their services, they never deny someone who can't pay. Azul no longer uses the Dark Magic, and he rarely fights. He is conflicted in his soul, and feels like the healing of others might partly be a way towards redemption for all the evil he has done. At the same time he is bitter and resentful towards the Crown for abandoning him.

Up for love: Yep. Azul is conflicted, trying to deal with the pain of his past. He is trying to make up for the horrible things he did while still wanting to do them... so he is kind of a conflicted guy but maybe you could love him. Whether he is gay or straight... I have no idea yet.

Other: In my first post Keenan will have just died in a skirmish between the Resistance and the King's men

Morgan Darkrai
The Aradian Castle
King's Bedchamber

I rose from my bed, still sleepy for my night of pleasure with my wife. I looked out the window, watching over the village below. My comrades- the Abnormals- were out on their patrols as they have all night, led around the village by Deliah Redkei. I watched the village for at least two minutes when I felt leather on my body. I murmured, "Good morning, Kali."
A warm breeze blew against my back and I was embraced by a leather wing. Kali said, Good morning, Master. I see you're still tired from last night. Care to rest your eyes on me for a while? She nudged my chest with her snout, her golden eyes glittering at the sight of my body.
I said, "Maybe some other time. Right now, I have to pay a visit to an old friend."
Kali snorted and said lowly, Hope not that Fire-Water sorceror with the spirit-bat.
I growled, "If you don't want to come with, that's fine with me. I don't want to come back to a trashed-up bedchamber just like I did the last time I left you here. And don't try to blame Deliah for it just like you did last time." I dressed myself in the form of a peasant. Although Kali knew him for a seven years, I've known Fenezari since he was four. I took a liking to him when I saw him demonstrate his power over water and fire, so I made friends with him and we were tight. He looked up to me as if I was his brother. At this, tears almost escaped my eyes. I may be a man, but I still worry about my sister Meredith. I haven't seen her in thirteen years and before I left the house, I promised her I'd take care of her. Where ever is Meredith, I have not even the slightest inkling.
