Apprentice Games (Open, Starting)

Looks pretty cool, hope you don't mind if I step in

Name: Mathias Redwyn
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Type of Wielder: Enchanter
Powers: Air is his speciality but he also has some basic Earth magic

Strengths: Contrary to his primary gift, Mathias is a solid and disciplined man. He has trained long with the blade and it is his strongest skill. It is what helped him to survive when his power threatened to overwhelm him in his youth - through mastering his swordsmanship, Mathias also gained control of his magic. As such the two skills have combined to make him a formidable foe - when Mathias moves he is swift and silent as the wind and he is able to move so fast that he's close to invisible at times. He's a quiet man and usually disapproving but fair and protective.

Weaknesses: Family is everything to Mathias. He is involved in this event for the sake of his six year old son, hoping that Zygryk will agree to take not him but the boy as his apprentice. The boy is young still and far more powerful and volatile than his father ever was. Mathias is afraid for his life and having already lost the boy's mother, he means to do anything to see that his son has the best chance of survival. This means that Mathias has a soft spot for the young though and for women. He can hardly believe that women would even take part and he must steel himself against taking their lives.

Appearance: He's a large, broad shouldered man with short cropped dark hair and care worn features. His face is rugged and his nose is a little large, his jaw very firm. Mathias has blue-grey eyes and a medium complexion. He stands at six foot three.

Personality: Quiet and commanding. Mathias is the sort of man who people listen to and though his speech is always simple, it's also intelligent. He has a lot of common sense and he cares about the people around him but has seen many people die and so has become accustomed to the knowledge that good men must sometimes lose their lives. Mathias doesn't have much in the world. He works as a blacksmith, though he was previously a soldier. Now he just wants to see his son become a man.

Save me a character!!! I'll do the profile tomorrow!

No problem Vuzzy! And I'm gonna wait for a couple more people, we dont have enough yet

Name: Sampson Solis

Gender:

Age: Twenty but has lived much longer (will explain below)

Type of wielder: Enchanter

Powers:Control of H20 in all its forms and control of the sub element Lighting

Strengths:Power. The raw strength of his abilities is what sets him apart. He also moves quickly even when he doesn't mean too this combined with his natural hand to hand skills help him survive with out unleashing his magic.

Weaknesses: His greatest strength is his greatest weakness his powers are unstable and he would rather fight with his fist or run away than unleash them. Despite his skills with his hands he has never mastered any weapons and if given one will be less effective. This puts him at a disadvantage to those with weapons.

Appearance: 5 foot 11 with shaggy brown hair and blue eyes he has an athletic build and wears brown trousers with an old hooded leather poncho.

Personality: An indifferent man he finds himself not caring about a lot. Not out of coldness but out of Naivety and a genuine feeling of live and let live. He feels deeply in need of father figure or master to help him understand the world and more importantly his powers.

Other:Past- Even before he was born his powers showed the town in which he was born was plagued with increasingly worse storms in the nine months leading up to his birth. Once he was born the Storms seemed to stop but whenever he cried as a baby a storm would sweep in from nowhere sometimes lasting for hours sometimes for minutes. His mother merely assumed that he was crying because of the storm outside.

One day when he was three and his mother and father were arguing over his fathers drinking problem a storm rolled in and got steadily worse until house in the town began to be torn apart by the storm they heard it coming and sheltered Sampson however it hit anyway. During the aftermath Sampsons father, John Solis, watched as his son inspected his dead mother as grief took him the storm died away but as the infant grief and confusion turned to anger the storm returned. John, who was also an Enchanter, realised what had happened and where the storm had come from. Despite the grief he felt for his wife he felt compelled to protect his son and help Sampson learn to control his power. John went with his son to a temple where Enchanters could find calm and solace and learn to control they're powers. The Temple was above a village and Sampson spent he childhood they're with his father. Playing in the temple and learning in the school below in the village. Thrice he cause an avalanche from the surrounding mountains but the other enchanters were always able to avert disaster.
Snow storms were also an issue for the town but never caused any serious damage as the people in temple were always on hand to help John calm Sampson down. John gave up drinking for his son and put his grief behind him. John even told Sampson that he had caused the storm that killed his mother to spare his son the grief. He learnt his martial arts skills from the other enchanters at the temple, in the temple no weapons were allowed, despite this calm environment he never truly mastered his control and when his father died at a young age his grief consumed him. Sampson fled into the mountains as he felt his grief consuming him and stripping him of his control. Finally as he reached the end of ten mile valley he let himself go and let it out.

A week later when the snow storms finally subsided a huge glacier filled the valley. In the thousand years that followed the glacier has had Two names. for three hundred year following the event it was known as the weeping ice because it melted all year round but never lost it size. With this name went a tale of young man who went out to grieve and let his guilt consume him and turning him into a glacier. Considered just a story by most remnant of the story remain a common saying for instance 'A man consumed by grief is not a man at all' considered to mean if your grief consumes you your not free to live your life the truth is rather more literal. Since then it had been know as the endless ice as it never melted even in the height of summer when the side of the valley was covered in grass. Strangely enough no one ever lost their lives on the ice sept a band of raider that decided to take shelter in one of its many caves.

However after a thousand years the villagers of the town woke up to see that the Endless ice had ,well, ended. Sampson marched into town oblivious of what had transpired he was even happy, proud of himself for "controlling" his abilities, He was surprised to see that the baker in the town was gone and in his stead someone else was selling bread in the old bakers store. However the new baker looked someone similar to the old one like a distance cousin so Sampson let it slide . IT was only when he climbed the step to Temple and found it full of soldiers that he realised something was wrong. He ran to the graveyard and searched through the names on the gravestones finding his fathers. Next to his fathers was his own grave. The inscription preserved he read it "Lost in a storm he left behind a tale of woe and a monument to his power". After that it only took a few shocked civilians shout about the lack of the endless ice for Sampson to work out what had transpired.

Sampson has spent the last three years learning about the new world and searching for a place of calm. He has been unable to find these places and it seems that they were wiped out many hundreds of years ago. He sees the chance to be an Apprentice the chance to finally master his powers and reach his full potential.

Items- he has prayer beads that he wraps around his wrist to help him calm down when he starts to get out of control.

Name: Adelice Hanx

Gender: Female

Type of Wielder: Enchantress

Powers: Water and Storms

Strengths: She is courageous and determined, with extreme skill on the water. She's very intuitive, more than she let's on, but she's very self-reliant. She doesn't trust many because she's been hurt before.

Weaknesses: She's a bit of a loner, though she'll let you get close to her if she senses that you're a good person.

She's thin and short and not very developed for her fifteen years. Her nose is sort of pointy and elfish, as are her ears. She looks younger than she is, maybe twelve.

Personality: She is kind but distant and seems in her own world a lot. But when it comes down to it, she's a fighter. She has a good heart, but she doesn't usually let people get close enough to see it.

Other: Adelice has a long, tragic history. When she was only nine, her father betrayed her village by giving its secret location to an invading army, trying to get money for his poor family. But instead, he was duped. He tried to save his family, but Adelice's many brothers and her mother and everyone she knew died. She had fled just in time and regretted it ever since, believing she was cowardly. She vows to one day meet a necromancer to bring back her loved ones.

Name: Nella (Jenelle) Thorn

Powers: Fire

Strengths: Nella's ability depends on her emotions. If you make her too mad, you probably don't have a chance.

Appearance:He's old, like so old people think he should have died a thousand years ago, and he looks it.

Personality:He seems like a total pushover, but he really isn't. He's pessimistic and rude and thinks things out before the person actually doing it does. ANd then he plans around your plans and has them lead to your total demise. If you've watched bleach, think Lord Aizenl.

This looks so FUN!!! oh and, byt the way, GO BLEACH!!

Name: Zera Venn

Age: 19

Gender: Girl

Type of Wielder (Mage, Sorcerer/ess or Enchanter/ess): Enchantress

Powers: Fire

Strengths: Very powerful with fire. She can cause people to feel like they're burning, but has to concentrate. She can bend fire, as in shooting it at enemies, controling how big it gets, or putting it out entirely. She is also pretty good with the katana, and with throwing knives and the bow and arrow.

Weaknesses: She cannot do hand to hand. She will fail miserably. She also will go into these mad rages where she will attack at random, but they're very uncommon, and will only happen if shhe loses or someone insults her to the point of cruelty. She also has a bad habit of gambling.

Appearance: Golden, waist-length blonde hair, black eyes, 5'4, wears red or black outfits with belts wrapped around herself to hold all her weapons. Her hair is always down. She hates having it up. Very thin, and pretty, which can sometimes work for her advantage.

Personality:She's very friendly, but will turn on people unexpectedly if it will save herself, or somebody she really cares about, which doesn't happen often. She's the type of person that will always carry a knife in her shoe, and can make any kind of impression she wants, whether it be friendly, or intimidating. No matter what impression, though, she is always cocky and thinks she can take on anything.


Other: She grew up pretty normally. Her powers came in fine, and she gained controol quickly, even if sometimes she goes nuts(only if you make her really really really mad). her parents were so proud of her and died at a good age, having had Zera very late in life. Sadly, they thought that their daughter was a sweet, innocent girl. They were wrong. She had been lying to them for years, so then they wouldn't find out about her obbsession with winning. She would gamble every chance she got, and was fairly good at it, until she lost all of her money. She wants to join the games not only because she thinks it would be fun for a challenge, but because she is hoping that she can make some money from it. And, she knows that the man she lost all of her money to will be there. She doesn't know his real name, so she's just gonna kill everybody, just to be safe.

(In case you were wondering, the guy she's out to kill, is NoT competing. She just thinks he is. hope thiis is okay, and PlEASE tell me if it isn't! )

Alright Bee is letting me create another character because we need some BOYS!

Name: Bute Pendragon

Gender: Male

Type of Wielder: Mage, sort of... (I will explain in his history)

Powers: Elemental: Earth, specifically plants. He has also general abilities in potions and conjuring.

Strengths: Bute can control any and all plants at will. manipulating their size, growing speed, and giving them the ability to move on their own. He can sense the spirit within growing things and has been known to talk to the plants. His favorite plants to use in battle are: poison ivy, and wild rose. He is very proficient with his sword, and his a formidable street fighter if he is cornered and unable to use his plants for some reason. Like the plants he uses he is very hardy and can heal/regenerate himself from most wounds if given the time. He is unable to heal his eye however because his brother's fire cauterized the wound.

Weaknesses: His plant based magic is weak before two elemental styles, fire and lightening. Fire for obvious reasons, but he is learning how to compensate for this. He is always weak when up against a lightning user because the speed of those attacks can match his ability to summon plants. He also hates to fight women (for honor not sexist reasons) so women can have the upper hand because he will not go against them with his full powers.

Appearance: Tall 6' 2" with a lean muscular build (think dancer.) He has sort of longer hair (Maybe a little below his shoulders) dark ebony brown with a slight curl to it. He keeps it in a messy ponytail with the shorter pieces framing his face. Bute always has short scruffy stubble on his face (he can't be bothered to shave regularly.) His skin is pale with freckles on the bridge of his nose. He is missing his right eye and always wears a black strip of cloth to cover the socket. His remaining eye is sea gray, the eye can seem green in some lights and blue in others. The scar from when he lost his eye can be seen below the cloth strip on his cheek. He wears a usual wanderers garb: a fine gray linen shirt, loose black pants, knee high leather riding boots, long jerkin w/braided ties, long duster/coat of heavier leather,Two black leather belts (one for his pants and the other holds his sword) and a green cloak rolled up on back when it's not raining or cold.


Personality: Bute is a driven, determined young man who is never satisfied with his present abilities. He always believes he can do better or become stronger. He has daddy issues stemming from his fathers disappointment in him, and this drives him to train till he is exhausted and weak from lack of food, water, sleep, or all three. Bute has an strong moral and honor code that drive his personal life. He is a bit old fashioned in his his treatment of women, he hates to fight them, he thinks it's wrong and unmanly to raise his hand against a woman and will refuse to fight them whenever able. He is the kind of man people feel comfortable around, the guy you would strike up a conversation with even if you didn't know him. He has a easy going temperament most of the time with a long fuse. He has a sarcastic sense of humor and a easy winning smile.

Past: Butes has been shaped by his past, most notable his fathers shame in him. Bute was born into a distinguished family, a long talented line of fire enchanters and enchantresses. He is the middle child of three sons and the only one in his family who is not a enchanter. He was born without any outstanding abilities unlike his two brothers- both are very strong in their use of fire. Bute grew up hearing his brothers praised and only getting disappointed looks from his father, no mater how hard her tried. His mother tried to help him as much as she could and got him apprenticed to the best mage in their city, who was please to take an apprentice from so legendary a family. Bute swore he would never be contented with his abilities until his father looked at him with the same pride he looked at his brothers with. For years Bute studied and worked, until his master could teach him no more. He then left the city where he had been born and went abroad to study and learn more, and grow stronger if he could. He wandered for several years until he heard about the Apprentice games. He believes if he can win the apprenticeship, he might earn his fathers approval.

Other: Bute is willing for a relationship-with the understanding he wants a forever commitment (he's straight.)
He is a talented chess player, and an avid musician. He carries the lute his mother gave him everywhere he goes. He has a love of all willow-like trees and dreams of someday living somewhere he can have an immense labyrinth-like garden filled with all of his favorite plants and a small river running through.
