She can use her powers for death on others, and so on. She tries to avoid being sad. Cosette never really understood why these clans hate eachother, she believes it's because one of the clans lost a bet and blamed another clan for it, or something.

Cosette always watched her mother and father heal the wounded, and thought that she would be as useful as them soon. Her mother and father were brought to war, to heal the wounded, but later died.

(Hope this is okay! PM me if it isn't!)

Okay! It has been brought up to me that This is taking a while to get the desired number of players to start. I will now ask that all who are willing to make another character so that there are at least 3 people per clan. Please refer to the initial post and posts after the lightbringer post by gleek456 for the open spots. I will update as often as I can. after there are 3 people per clan (at least), I will set the dealine in the case of stragglers. Thank You!

Name: Scáth

Race: Elf

Clan: Feymoor/Druids

Personality: She has self confident aura about her but she isn't arrogant or ignorant. She can be very social but tends to prefer time alone homing her abilities or reading. Usually Scáth comes across as very animalistic and basic in the fact she follows primal instincs however she is very intelligent and would be able to blend in with 'high society'. Once she sets her mind to doing something, she is very determined to see it through tto the end.

History: Originally brought up in the clan of Dragonskull, Scáth ran away aged sixteen when her clan began burning a forest through which they were traveling. To Scáth there was no point to this even though it was tenency to many Drangonskull's at the time, so she fought many of those who were once her friend within that clan to try and save the forest. She failed and so ran away. Taken in by the Druids in gratitude for trying to save their home, Scáth now resides with them.

Appearance: Tall with dark skin for an elf, much like pale bark of a tree. She has medium long, dark brown, hair and emerald green eyes. She wears leather slacks, and a tight leather tunic without sleeves, she also goes bare foot. As well as all this she wears a green hooded cloak and white gold torc braclet.

Other: She has scaring on her arms and face that look like faint tattoos, very pale and delicate tribal.

Alternate weapon: Oaken bow and green feather arrows.

Strengths: Her ability to speak with the forest, especially wolves, allows her sense danger much more easily when around nature.

Weaknesses: Her connection to nature will often sidetrack her...

Heya! I'm making a Lightbringer and a Dragonskull.

Here is the Lightbringer:

Name: Thalia Swiftwind

Race: Halfling

Clan: Lightbringers

Personality: Despite her appearance of an adorable girl, she is quite vicious. She was spited during her life, and she hasn't forgotten it. Determined to prove that she is better than all the people that harmed her she joined the Lightbringer clan when she was about 16 years old. She's witty, sarcastic, and prefers to use healing magic over any other kinds, but she still uses it when she has to, or when she's in the mood for magic.

History:
Her family lived in a small time outside the conflicts of the five clans. It wasn't easy to avoid the conflicts, but they found a way to avoid it.

Many of the other children avoided her, or when they did talk to her they made fun of her. After all, one of her parents was an elf, the other was a human. She was considered a freak of nature, and she made only a couple of friends. Everywhere she went she was excluded because of what and who she was.

She left her home town, feeling too much like an outcast to linger any longer. Determined to prove that she was a better person than those that made fun of her she set out into the world to become the best she could be. In a nearby town she found a group of Lightbringers. She joined them, and with many years of focused study she learned the arts of a Priestess.

Appearance:Her hair is short and pure white. She was born with that hair color and is somewhat insecure about it. Because of it she wears a white hooded cloak to hide her hair. Her eyes are deep brown. Over her lips she wears a thin coat of white lipstick. Her skin is fair and smooth like most elves. She has a light build. She's shorter than both human and elves, no one is sure how that worked out. From a distance she looks like she could be 10 or 11. Because of the long life granted to her by her elven half she doesn't look older than 20 in her face, despite the fact she is 52 years old. Her clothing is almost always white, and almost always has bits and patches of dirt. Her ears are the length of a human's, but they are pointed at the ends.

Up for love? : Yes. She's not used to flirting, and is most likely very open to the idea. She may be very clingy.

Other: There are two small nicks missing out of her left ear due to a rabid raccoon attack when she was younger.

Alternate weapon: Her canines are slightly sharper than most people's, so she will bite in addition to plain fighting.

Strengths: She is small and people underestimate her, allowing her to get the upper hand sometimes.

Weaknesses: She is easily provoked, and she loses her concentration when she's angered. She's also small, so she is easily overpowered.

Here is the Dragonskull:

Name: Lance DeValte

Race: Half-Goblin

Clan: Dragonskull

Personality: He's a prankster, but very arrogant. He flirts with anyone he can and leaves his mark in flame wherever he goes.

History:
He was the son of a whore. His mother's home town was victim to a goblin raid, and several women were kidnapped. The saucier women were used for sexual purposes, and his mother was one of them. She had long since been a whore, and so she didn't fight it very much.

When she found out she was pregnant she hoped that the baby would be from one of her richer clients so she could extort the money out of him or drop the child with him. When it turned out to be a half-goblin child she was horrified. She couldn't just abandon it, so she decided to raise it, telling her friends until he was older that he just had a rare skin defect.

He was raised into poverty until he was old enough to start training under the Dragonskull clan. He learned quickly, but he was reckless and started a few fires. He soon used his power over fire to extort people or simply to play pranks on people he thought would have funny reactions.

Appearance: He's average human height. His skin is dark green, and his eyes are amber. His ears are much larger than average and point at the end. He has three piercings in his right ear, two in his right. His chest and arm muscles are well developed, and he enjoys showing them off. He almost always wears a fine weave robe.

Up for love?: He's up for love, but it'd take a lot to get him to want to stay in a relationship.

Other: He's a womanizer.

Alternate weapon: A small dagger he keeps in his sleeve.

Strengths: He's sneaky, and light on his feet. His arrogance can intimidate opponents.

Weaknesses: He's not nearly as good as he claims to be, and can let his pride get in the way sometimes.

Name:Ariana Laemoor

Race: Litch (Basically, Think of a floating skeletal mage that wears armor to prevent people from getting to the dark magic that keeps them alive)

Clan: Netherskull

Personality: Dark, Self reliant, moody, highly logical.

History: Ariana was an elf form the Feymoor clan until she got into a fight with a powerful necromancer, who killed her and then raised her bones into a litch. once she was raised, she killed her maker and took over everything he owned. He was a noble in Netherskull, so she has a great amount of authority.

Appearance: She always wears a black robe with a green trim, and keeps the hood over her face at all times. she taught marcus until he fled into the night to Arcania. She was also part of the group that helped him escape, so she will not fight him unless she has to.

Up for love? (love between different clans is okay):Yes

Other:She has an orb that allows her to revert to an elven form, which can come in handy during espionage. Because she is a litch, she has to draw off the life force of others to keep herself from dying. She mainly doesnt kill people during the process, but when she was first risen, that is how she killed her maker.

Alternate weapon: Small blades that she keeps concealed inside of her robes in small leather sheaths.

Strengths:She can draw off the life force of others to sustain herself and weaken others. she also has a way with plants, but she was only 12 when she got into the fight, so she can only shield herself with plants, and not very well. she can also draw off the life force of plants.

Weaknesses:She need to draw off of life forces, or she will end up dying. while in elf form, she need even more life to sustain herself because of the difficulty it is to process the life through flesh.
