Sure. Celtia's good. And eventually. The Celtians and the Castellans are at literal war, while the Baltians are more or less at war with them economically, as in they've blockaded trade and swap of resources with the Castellans. The Baltians have focused their troops on finding the lost Emir.

Oh okay. I don't know if I'll have time to work on a full character post tonight, but I'll try. If not, I'll make one tomorrow, when I can get on the computer. (I'm on my phone, and my sister's on the iPad) ---Shooting Stars

Okay! Will do. P.S. Do you know how to attach a video to YWS? I tried, but it wouldn't let me so I figured I did something wrong. P.S.S. I feel really bad because I think you might be a boy (yell at me if I'm wrong) because I don't know if I should say "he" or "she". Sorry! Since I don't know you in person, so I can't tell... But you can scream at me for not knowing. Seriously. ---Shooting Stars

I'm a girl. I just play a lot of guy characters because I have two base characters who are guys and they're the most developed out of my others so it makes things easier. It's okay though. You aren't the only one who's thought that.
And I think zohali knows more than I do about the video thing. I would ask her.

Name: Upton Hai ( Prounced Up-ton Hi) Gender: male Age: (10-19, but the Emir will of course be younger)19 Appearance: (a picture would be nice) Looks like this, but left arm has no muscle: (Sorry for no shirt)
Clan: (Castellan, Baltia, Celtia) Celtia Personality: (follow clan descriptions, please) Upton is rash when angered and not the brightest. When it comes to battle, he makes up for his intelligence. He is bloodthirsty and a fierce opponet. Strengths: (at least two) He is incredibly strong Weaknesses: (enough to even out the strengths) Robin is a cripple. He cannot move his left arm at all and he makes rash decisions. History: (no 'cannot remember' without good reason) Upton was raised as a warrior. His father trained him from the time he could walk. Because of that he is higher up in the caste system. Upton lost the use of his arm when it was smashed in a mill. He had tripped and his arm fell into the gap between the teeth and he was crippled. Other: (up for love, belongings, place in society, etc...) Not up for love.

~That's Liam Hemsworth, did you see what I did there?
Clan: (Castellan, Baltia, Celtia) Baltia Personality: (follow clan descriptions, please) He's a very smart person, although he sometimes lacks the drive to achieve things. He's very likable, but he's honest to the point of insult sometimes. More often than not he's a ladiesman... Strengths: (at least two) - He's very good with knives, knife throwing, hand to hand combat. He has good warrior smarts. Weaknesses: (enough to even out the strengths) He's schizophrenic, more often than not he'll decide what to do on what the voices tell him to do. And he's not trusting to anyone that he's not familiar with, but he knows most of the people in Baltia. History: (no 'cannot remember' without good reason) He lived as the son of a middle class teacher, which was his mother. And his father was a hunter. He learned about the world at an early age. Although he never really learned very good people skills, his father taught him what he needed to learn about survival while his mother taught him things like reading and writing. His father died when he turned twelve while hunting, and that jolt of stress really kick started his schizophrenia that was more dormant when he was a child. Other: (up for love, belongings, place in society, etc...) Up For Love (if the voices agree), helps part time at the school and around the village/town.
Personality: Being from Castellan, she has one tragic flaw: she likes to lie a lot. In the beginning it was just to protect herself, but it gradually developed into something more, and became habitual. She's vivacious and adventurous, and dislikes being holed up in a castle like a fairytale princess. She's an amazing strategist, and is very careful with words. She dislikes being looked down upon, and can match anyone in intelligence with ease.
Strengths: •Close range combat - Swordfighting •Distance combat - Archery
Weaknesses: •Self loathing for being the one who survived. •Close range combat - Hand-to-hand combat.
History: Intellexia had a twin brother who was killed at the age of five. When they were born, only the birth of the prince was announced. Consequently, Intellexia was never allowed to go too far from the boundarieof the tribe. She often dressed as a boy when she went out to play with her brother, and one day, two assassins came looking for her brother. They were acting independently, but were members of Celtia and Baltia respectively. Neither knew the other was there, of course. However, when they approached, both saw the princess. In her garb, she looked like the young prince, and mistaking her to be the same, they shot at her. Her brother, who was hiding in the topmost bracnhes of a tree saw this, and jumped in to save his sister. His jump from that height, coupled with the assassin's poisons succeeded in killing him quickly. So of course, Intellexia, who looked so much like her brother, took his place as the heir to the throne.
Other: Up for love: No. She has to keep her identity secret. Belongings: A long staff which is a foot taller than her, and a pair of daggers she keeps - one tucked in her boots and the other tucked at her waist. Place in society: Emir. (Pretending to be a guy, of course)

I realize this is confusing...but I had to switch POV. Mar will always be in third person, while Alcran will always be in first. It's harder to capture a child's mind when writing in first person... Also, Syca - I thought that Intel would be a good nickname for Intellexia, seeing as she's posing as a guy. I'll change it if there's any problems.
Mar Illyd - Southernmost Corner of Baltia Territory
Sitting in the center of the makeshift camp, the boy shivers from the damp air surrounding him. The men crowd around the fire, laughing their menacing chuckles and drinking their poisons. Mar tries to focus on anything but the licking flames or the ropes tight around his ankles and wrists. He tries to remember home, but each memory fizzles out with the reminder of the men's presence.
Night passes quickly, the boy exhausted from lack of sleep. Could he have slept? He should have, that's all he knows, but the child doesn't dwell on regrets. He misses the cottage he'd first been brought to. At least it had been warm.
The men lead Mar towards a village, the one with an eyepatch sticking close to me as they begin to pillage. Mar watches closely as he subconsciously begins freeing his ankles. Once he's out of the most cumbersome bindings, he makes a run for it and bolts into a schoolhouse. He recognizes the architecture as from home and gleefully hides beneath the teacher's desk, awaiting a fellow Baltian.

War. Like we need another one... I examine the newly enlisted troops, absorbed in thought. I wish Intel was here. He would make things easier and more enjoyable. I shake my head at myself. My people are about to go to war with his. Father would not allow me to be near a Castellan on friendly terms; he would sooner kill me than give it thought if he found out that my closest friend is of their heritage.
Sighing, I stop before two around my age. The boy interests me, the look in his eyes reminding me of someone, while the girl I immediately recognize.
"Fianait, isn't it?" I ask, "Trapper's daughter? Interesting you've enlisted. I'll be watching your addition closely."
I glance back at the boy, asking for his name.
"Upton Hai," He replies, his expression respectful and serious.
I nod and take a step back, folding my arms behind my back. My eyes scan over the others as I take in a breath.
"Our services are needed once again," I say, "Tomorrow, at dusk, we will arrive in Castellan territory. As soon as night falls, we will make the first attack. My father's orders."
I hope Intel stays home. I don't want to have to fight him.
"We have an hour before we depart," I announce, "Do as you wish."
I turn on my heel and head into the castle, absorbed in worry over my friend. Could I contact him somehow? Would he be hostile once he found out?
No. We're friends, even if we're enemies.
I think for a moment before sneaking back out and slipping off to our meeting spot. Climbing atop the run down cabin, I raise the green flag and wait, hoping he's able to see it this time.

She knows how to get herself out of sticky situations. She thinks the other two clans are weak and useless, but she has certain friends in Baltia. She also feels like she needs to lie to people to get what she wants. Strengths: She's a fast runner and a really good lier. Weaknesses: She's not a good fighter, and she isn't trusted by many. History: Her family was from Oregon before the wars started. Her father was taken to the Baltia clan and her mother was in Castellan with her. Her father was killed in battle but she keeps in touch with her fathers best friend and kids who are also in Baltia.

She has a little doll that she hides under her bed that she had from when she was a kid
