Valon Balessan
Spoiler! :
Name: Valon Balessan

Age: 33

Gender: Male

Appearance: Lithe and moderate in height. Wears a suit of leather armor beneath a royal Red Mage's hunting suit. Has two twin rapiers at his sides that adorn two mana crystals attuned to his brand of fire magic. Has tenebrous black hair in a ponytail and elven ears pierced and adorned with magic-enhancing crystals.

Personality: Cocky, arrogant, proud to a fault. He is quick to use might to overcome obstacles, often leaving him bereft of mana or energy for the next fight--or worse, the rest of the current fight. However, his pride is justified, as he has won many accolades in his canon universe for his prowess. He is also an attempt-to-be-charmer.

Powers: Fire magics surrounding three major components: conjured fire from the hand, fire in his aura and swords, and fire from the heavens. The combination of these three are his pride.

Strengths: Magical offense, agility, and speed.

Weaknesses: Defense, situational awareness, and sneak attacks beneath his pridefully high chin.


Jude Feeney
Spoiler! :

Name: Jude Feeney

Age: 42

Gender: Male

Appearance: Tall and average build, completely human. See Jason Isaacs for faceclaim. Black hair and calloused hands from hands-on scientific research.

Personality: Feeney is 100% focused on his studies of the supernatural, has a dry personality and will give short answers to questions, rarely speaking first. He is reserved, but ambitious.

Strengths: Intelligence, Wit, Money, Insight

Weaknesses: Lack of power, lack of clout, shyness, rashness

as I will drown everything you have inside.

*places my broomcloset at the entrance to this thread*

This shall be where my characters shall be kept prisoner live.

Lucius Aemilius Merula

Spoiler! :
Name: Lucius Aemilius Merula

Age: 29 years old

Gender: Male

Appearance: Shortish in length and somewhat chubby. Blonde hair and brown eyes. He always keeps his face clean-shaven, and is usually seen in either a white or green toga.

Personality: Jovial, loves eating and feasts, and extremely curious. Lucius enjoys knowing what's going to happen before it happens, and has a network of informants throughout Rome passing information to him. He is also generally a charitable individual, and would assist those in need in exchange for future favors.

Background: Not much to say. Born the third son of Marcus Aemilius Cato, he had the fair and easy life of a patrician. He managed to avoid his period of conscription by becoming a private tutor for the sons of one of the consuls during that time. He is now the owner of a "humble" drinking abode.


Milo Orbensson

Spoiler! :
Name: Milo Orbensson

Age: 16-17ish

Gender: Male

Appearance: slightly under 1.7 meters tall, I have hazel eyes (meaning they can change between green and brown and a weird mess of both), and light, curly, thick hair. I prefer wearing large-ish hoodies, and have had to wear contacts for about a year or so.

Personality: Awkward (as in very socially awkward), geeky, shy, and very paranoid/anxious when nervous. Which is always (except when playing video games)

Background: Milo is the youngest of the five children of Orbens and Halla, a pair of Icelandic lawyers (rival law firms. Like a Romeo and Juliet but with lawyers... and more ice). Spent most of his time holed up in his room reading or playing video games, until one day, while on at a family reunion out in the countryside, Milo stumbled across an Asatru ritual, and his life was changed forever (no spoilers yet)

Strengths: <inserting here as story unfolds>

Weaknesses: <also inserting here as story unfolds>

Several versions of the same character:

Youngest
Spoiler! :

Name: Agrona

Age: 12-15

Gender: Female

Appearance: Red hair, ice blue eyes. She is tall and strong, with hidden daggers in her sleeves and boots.

Personality: Fierce, distrusting, ready to fight, loyal.

Background: She was raised by the Pack (werewolves/dire wolves/worgs) but when they couldn't turn her into a lycanthrope when she was to be initiated tried to kill her. She ran for it. When she did, she found herself stumbling straight into the Thieves' Guild who recruited her and she worked for ever since.

Powers: She can turn into a horse-sized German Shepherd and is immune to lycanthropy. Additionally, she is extremely skilled in combat, particularly hand-to-hand combat or fighting with daggers.


The Middle One
Spoiler! :

Name: Tasha Hunter

Age: 19-36

Gender: Female

Appearance: Red hair, ice blue eyes. She is tall and strong, with a silver broadsword at her hip and a german shepherd at her side. She wears studded leather armor or her gray Hunter uniform embroidered with a sun with the silhouette of a growling dog's face on it.

Personality: Protective, driven, a fighter, loyal.

Background: She was raised by the Pack (werewolves/dire wolves/worgs) but when they couldn't turn her into a lycanthrope when she was to be initiated tried to kill her. She ran for it. When she did, she found herself stumbling straight into the Thieves' Guild who recruited her and she worked for them until she was fifteen and the Hunters (law enforcement/werewolf hunters) busted the Guild, taking her and the others captive.

There was something that she was unaware of but what the Pack and the Hunters knew- she was Hunter-borne, destined to be a key factor in defeating the wolves. Thus, she was offered a deal: join the Hunters or get executed for your crimes. She took the former.

She worked hard as a Hunter and, in time, found herself the Guard Dog, one of the three leaders of the Hunters.

Powers: She can turn into a horse-sized German Shepherd and is immune to lycanthropy. Additionally, she is extremely skilled in combat, particularly hand-to-hand combat or fighting with daggers or swords.


The Last One
Spoiler! :

Name: Tasha Hunter

Age: 37-41

Gender: Female

Appearance: Red hair, ice blue eyes. She is tall and strong, with a silver broadsword at her hip and a german shepherd at her side. She wears studded leather armor or her gray Hunter uniform embroidered with a sun with the silhouette of a growling dog's face on it.

Personality: Protective, driven, a fighter, loyal.

Background: She was raised by the Pack (werewolves/dire wolves/worgs) but when they couldn't turn her into a lycanthrope when she was to be initiated tried to kill her. She ran for it. When she did, she found herself stumbling straight into the Thieves' Guild who recruited her and she worked for them until she was fifteen and the Hunters (law enforcement/werewolf hunters) busted the Guild, taking her and the others captive.

There was something that she was unaware of but what the Pack and the Hunters knew- she was Hunter-borne, destined to be a key factor in defeating the wolves. Thus, she was offered a deal: join the Hunters or get executed for your crimes. She took the former.

She worked hard as a Hunter and, in time, found herself the Guard Dog, one of the three leaders of the Hunters.

Kolvar, the Cougar (First of the Three), betrayed the Hunters after his daughter, Silver, became a wolf (also the Chosen of Winter, but that's a different story altogether). When they discover this, it falls to Tasha to cross off her mentor. She does, but allows him to pick up his blade before entering combat. They are both excellent warriors, and though it ends with Kolvar's death, Tasha doesn't escape uninjured- she loses her left eye.

Soon after this, there is one, final battle between the Hunters and the Pack, resulting in the Pack's victory. Several months later, they finally decide there has been enough bloodshed on both sides and make a, albeit uneasy, peace treaty.

About a year after this, the demons decide it's time to take over Illyth now that the Pack is no longer the governing force there. Tasha dies in that war.

Powers: She can turn into a horse-sized German Shepherd and is immune to lycanthropy. Additionally, she is extremely skilled in combat, particularly hand-to-hand combat or fighting with daggers or swords.
"All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;

Deep roots are not reached by the frost."

Fujioka Haruka*


Spoiler! :
Nicknames: Haru

Gender: Cisgender woman, she/her.

Sexuality: Questioning, but definitely not straight.

Age: 23

Species: Demon

Appearance: Haru can shapeshift, so her appearance isn't always constant. For the most part, however, she tries to use a constant one. It's mostly like the one she had before getting turned into a demon, but her demonic nature is pretty obvious from a few details. She has short, dark brown hair that goes a little past her chin with a scattering of dark green highlights, dark green eyes with demonic slits to them, and is about average height for a woman in her early twenties. She also has a pair of fangs.

During the day, Haru wears clothes that cover up her body: a hood, a mask like the one down below, a long but loosely flowing dark green shirt, long but loosely flowing black pants and a pair of sandals. Anywhere where there would be bare skin is covered by bandages, including her hands.

She also has a traveling pack on her at almost all times, a simple sword in a simple sheath, and a noticeably large drinking gourd.

Because of her clothing and haircut, it's very easy to mistake Haru for a boy or a man. As long as it doesn't come up in conversation, Haru won't draw any attention to her gender.

Image


Personality: TBA

Strengths/Powers: As a demon, Haru has superhuman strength and agility. She's also ability to use something called a Blood Demon Art. Hers is a relatively simple one: she can change her form. While it could be used to make herself larger and therefore more powerful, hers is mostly used to hide in plain view.

Fighting Style: Haru isn't much of a fighter, but she usually uses a combination of her Blood Demon Art to slip away unnoticed. If forced to fight, she'll use her sword. It's a notably normal sword, and she's not spectacular at using it, but she knows how to block average attacks.

Weaknesses: Haru has a few weaknesses thanks to being a demon. She'll burn in sunlight like a vampire, requires a constant source of humans (or, in her case, human blood), can't stand being too close to wisteria, and will die if decapitated with a nichirin sword.

Brief History: Haru had a relatively normal childhood. She grew up in a small rural area, was somewhat close friends with the other girls of the village, and was the perfect daughter. But she did have two little quirks: she loved to learn and go on adventures. When she was a kid, this didn't really bother anyone, but it quickly became a problem as she got over. She'd skip doing housework to go out and play with the village's boys, and was frankly terrible at taking care of everything the future wife she'd someday be was supposed to know how to do.

Then she got turned into a demon in her teens, weeks after becoming engaged to a boy she didn't even know.

She doesn't really remember much about it. She remembers feeling hungry and remembers the desire to hurt the humans closest to her. She remembers ending up in the town doctor's house. The doctor, thankfully, wasn't home. The next few hours all went by relatively fast and in a blur - she found out about demonic weaknesses and strengths, slipped away from the village and began journeying around Japan in search of a cure.

She's been doing that for the past five years, but she hasn't made too much progress yet.

Other: TBA


*Haru's name is written as it would be in Japan, so Fujioka is her surname and Haruka is her given/first name.

James
Spoiler! :
Name: Tiberius James Hemming

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Appearance: Average height, fit but lacking mass due to malnourishment. Short and messy reddish-brown hair (though it varies). Dark blue eyes. Could have anything between a clean face and a full beard, but he's always got two thick brows and a resting frown. He generally looks angry unless engaged in pleasant conversation or is faking it. His wardrobe constantly changes, so he could be wearing anything from full soldier armor to sporting a cowboy hat. Countless scars from getting beat up by meanies and monsters.

Personality: will work for food™, slow to trust, observant, goal oriented, closed off, aloof, man of many secrets™, someone give him a snickers bar

Background: Ya'll there ain't no way I'm writing this all out but he's a good guy just trying to do his best, despite his checkered past.

Powers: He can kill a joke in 0.0001 seconds.

Strengths: Well, sassy remarks and being a A+ swordsman and semi-decent marksman are noteworthy enough, I suppose. He's resourceful and knows a lot of practical stuff.

Weaknesses: He's got a litany of insecurities (who doesn't). He also (usually) refuses to use the only weapon he's really good at wielding (the sword) besides his fists. And to be fair, he's gotten really good and hand-to-hand combat, but let's be honest, you can't just punch a giant monster with big teeth. So to say the least he gets hurt a lot. He's also got a lot of anger™ and while his fuse isn't short, he's not good at managing it.

Extra: I can stick him in a fantasy or a modern context.


Bo
Spoiler! :
Name: Robert "Bo" Andrei Petrov

Age: 76 (but he doesn't look it because his dragon blood makes him age super slow. I know, convenient)

Gender: Male

Appearance: Ripped. 6ft 7in. Has a dark tan skin tone. Light brown hair and kind, dark brown eyes. Most notable feature on his face is trio of big scars running down his face that barely miss his left eye.

Personality: He's got a great sense of humor, loves to make jokes and make people laugh. He is an incredibly loyal, and wants to see other people succeed more than himself. He's big on inclusion of others. He is supportive, and holds his close friends accountable. He loves to help. Realest dude, down to earth. Is a bit out of touch with himself cause he's more invested in others but is trying his best. A decent advice giver.

Background: Doesn't really remember much from his childhood, has had to piece it together from what people have told him. Found his way to a guild where he was brought up since he was a teenager and mentored under the guild leader Mickey. Did some mercenary work and freelance stuff, and in a desire to figure out more of his past took a darker path for a time. He's done his soul searching and has "found himself," and that was decades ago. Did some more mercenary stuff and is preparing to take over Mickey's guild sometime in the future.

Powers: With the blood of the lightning dragon running through his veins, he has the ability to create, manipulate, and fight with lightning. Think of it kind of as lightning bending like in ATLA I guess.

Strengths: Big, strong, good with his magic because of his wealth of practice and experience. Loves people, can laugh anything off, etc, etc.

Weaknesses: Not very nimble, not very quick. Nor is he the brightest candle stick. Fights a lot of inner bitterness and jealousy. Suppresses emotions. Despite how much he loves people he really doesn't know how to open up to them.


Amy
Spoiler! :
Name: Amy Brooks

Age: 17/18

Gender: Female

Appearance: Short blonde hair that goes to her chin. Ears that stick out, a gap between her two front teeth, and a bunch of freckles. White but with a dark and extreme farmer's tan, among other weird tan lines. Almost always wearing a plain navy snapback. Usually wearing cut off shorts and big sneakers, and some loose t-shirt and big men's jacket. She's pretty fit. If she knew what cross-fit was, she'd probably do that, minus all the extreme healthy eating cuz she loves food. Really sporty, often seen with a skateboard.

Personality: Loud and proud. Will punch you in the arm in a friendly fashion and will yell at you across the room. Kinda rough around the edges but generally a great gal with a good heart. She's blunt and speaks her mind, but she means well. Has a bit of a one track mind I guess. A sk8er girl for life. Still growing in maturity. Inwardly is really quick to form crushes and freaks out when around people she finds attractive but tries to play it cool. Not the healthiest thing of course but that's her inner dialogue.

Background: She had it rough at home and ran away.

Powers: None, besides being able to yell really loud.

Strengths: Clear communicator, usually. Will fight for her friends. Literally, if needed. Confident, knows what she wants.

Weaknesses:Impulsive, sometimes clingy, overthinks male relationships/doesn't know what to do with her hormones. Quick to pick fights. Quick to judge by appearances. Doesn't have a great filter.


Alex
Spoiler! :
Name: Alex

Age: 23 we don't know, no one has proper documentation, but he's in his twenties, looks like

Gender: Male

Appearance: Tall (6ft2), lean muscle, light brown toned fellow of latino blood. Has thick black hair slicked back a bit and premature grey hairs by his temple.

Personality: He's not very nice. Dramatic to a fault. If he were the stereotypical villain, he would deliver monologues for days (he still does, even as a not-villain). He feeds off of relational drama and conflict and thrives in that environment and is a willing spectator or participator in the drama. He seems kind of 'fake' because he is. He'll cater his mannerisms and speech to his environment, always unto his own personal interests. He's very self oriented, and highly motivated. Pretty shallow, holds grudges, and keeps anything real buried deep, but he's fine with that. He likes himself how he is, and is very self confident. He takes blows to his ego personally but doesn't lash out immediately, and tends to utilize petty back-handed ways to get back at people. He's vengeful, and holds grudges.

Background: His dad hunted werewolves and sold their pelts, so you can imagine his disgustingly skewed moral compass. His dad was killed by a werewolf and he spends every day wishing for revenge. Yay.

Powers: Perfect aim when it comes to knife throwing and gun shootin'. Also emotional manipulation? i'm not very good at it but i try to make him good at it b/c its in character ha

Strengths: award winning creepy smile

Weaknesses: his best strategy is to kill anyone who gets in his way or break them emotionally so uh that's bad somebody get him professional help


Kazimir
Spoiler! :
Name: Kazimir Petrov

Age: 32

Gender: Male

Appearance: He's a tall, very strong and muscled man, with a buzz cut. Has dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, a slightly crooked nose (from being broken a few times) and a resting frown. Altogether, an intimidating figure, and rightfully so.

Personality: Not the nicest dude out there. Very family oriented, holds strong loyalties to his family and crew. Would do anything for his son, even kill a man.

Background: Former gang member/assasin. Other things.

Powers: Lightning "bending" kind of thing

Strengths: mmyesu

Weaknesses: confirmed


Kixig
Spoiler! :
Name: Kixig

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Appearance: On ogre: Green, scaly, and rough, hard skin. Long pointy-ears. A humanoid figure. Black eyes. Pointy teeth. He's wearing loose brown pants rolled up above the knee and a leather vest with a little crest on the string holding it together. He doesn't wear shoes. He's got big two-toed feet, but he has five fingers. Literal weeks away from his giant growth spurt, which puts him from average human height to two to three heads taller than the average human, as well as having a lot of muscly body mass.

Personality: Hopelessly naive. Innocent and gullible. Has a heart for adventure. Wants to be known as brave/wants to prove himself.

Background: Left home with his parent's blessing to become an adventurer. The rest of his village has other feelings about it, though.

Powers: None, really, apart from having a literal black-hole stomach.

Strengths: Yes, he is actually very strong.

Weaknesses: *claps* NAIVETé

Rutherford Henry

Spoiler! :
Name: Rutherford Henry

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Appearance: Close cut brown hair with one hazel eye and one cerulean blue. He wears glasses because he's nearsighted. Usually seen with his school work, Rutherford is considered to have a messy appearance. His shirt is always untucked from his pants or one of his shoelaces is untied. Most of his paperwork is cluttered or uneven.

Personality: Rutherford is very quirky and kind. His personality clashes with his looks because most people do not talk to someone who is messy and hardly can keep a grip of their life. His head is full of knots that are hard to untie and when he tries to untie one, it gets knotted up again. Mainly, as a child, Henry would have a hard time speaking his mind and his mother would yell at him for doing so. He's just learned to keep everything inside of himself and to never be afraid of what people say because what they say can't harm you but only bring you down.

Background: Rutherford Henry was born into a middle class family with both parents working. His mother worked at the local school as a teacher while his father was a builder. He was the only children but was still looked down upon. His mother would pity him, judging him by what he wore, spoke, and did. He left his house (which was located in rural New York) to go to college to become what his mother was: a teacher. Now, his life is surrounded by paper work and trying to do what is best for the world while having a messing mind.

Powers: N/A

Strengths: Rutherford cares too much about people around him. In a heartbeat, he'd do anything for his friends or family (except his mother). He also has a strong patience when it comes to people talking slowly or Monopoly.

Weaknesses: He doesn't take jokes kindly because he was bullied in middle school for having such dorky glasses or being so smart (which was stupid, now that he thinks about it).

Li He

Spoiler! :
Name: Li He (roughly pronounced LEE-huuh, but paste these Chinese characters 麗荷 into Google Translate to get the accurate pronunciation). In appropriate situations, she claims that her legal name is Li He Jin and that she goes by Lily Jin.

Age: 124 (appears 18)

Gender: Female

Appearance:
human form: Resembles the ethnic Han Chinese. Li He has straight, shiny waist-length black hair (usually worn in a ponytail), brown eyes, and a peachy skin tone. She is 5'1" and has a lovely, beautiful look about her. Most of the time, she has a smile on her face. She usually wears casually fashionable clothing (preferably Korean street fashion).
huli jing form: She looks like a regular red fox except for the fact that she has nine tails instead of one. She is a little on the smaller side, but she is just as strong and her teeth are just as sharp as any other fox's.

Personality: Li He loves tricks and fun, but she would never want anyone to get hurt because of them. She is kind, friendly, and lighthearted. She tends to quietly watch the others around her at times, at others is very talkative. She is very confident and would not hesitate to command attention if she feels it is necessary, since she knows she can. In fact, she is not above using harmless manipulation tactics to get what she wants, though only if she's sure it wouldn't harm that person. However, she is very cautious (even afraid) of people finding out her true identity as a huli jing and endangering her family. Also, a big part of her personality is formed--though others wouldn't know--because of her and her family's desire to prove (if only to themselves) that huli jing aren't inherently evil.

Background: Li He was born in China (Qing) in 1893, a year before the First Sino-Japanese War. It was a very dangerous era and her family (which chose to go by the family name Jin) was forced to relocate more than once. However, they were not affected in the exact same way as most Chinese were: they were huli jing*, able to live as foxes. Many events passed by in Li He's first 50 years of life, before she even had the beginnings of the ability to shapeshift into a human form; less than 10 years later, the Communist Party had taken over mainland China.

The Jin family had a strange, dangerous existence under the Communists. Li He's father and two brothers, who lacked the shapeshifting ability, were forced to hide during the day, while Li He's mother took a human form to maintain an illusion of as much normalcy as could be mustered as Li He was still practicing her shapeshifting. Food was getting scarcer. However, after the "Great Leap Forward", Li He's parents decided that enough was enough. The fox spirits managed to escape into Hong Kong, where they lived for 20 years. While they were there, Li He had her 100th birthday, and by then had mastered her human form.

By then, Li He's family had grown restless from living stationary for so long. As Li He had been learning English among other things, they ended up moving to the United States, where they have been residing ever since.

Powers: Shapeshifting into a beautiful human form. She draws on energy around her, from things like human breath to the sun's rays.

Strengths: She is very strong, most apparent when she fights, and she retains the enhanced vision, hearing, and sense of smell she has as a fox when she turns into a human. She is also very clever in speech and strategy, so she can worm her way out of troublesome situations most of the time. Fluent in Chinese, Cantonese, and English (with a British accent, since she learned it in Hong Kong while it was still a colony of the UK but she's lived in the US for many years now so it's rather mild).

Weaknesses: She is red-green colorblind, both as a fox and as a human. Also, being able to see and smell so much better than normal people can get her into trouble if she isn’t careful and notes of something too far away for a real human to be able to sense. She might have an urge to eat small animals as a human.

*(狐狸精) legendary fox spirits, also known as jiuweihu (九尾狐, nine-tailed fox), known for creating mischief and trouble, but they can also be good. These creatures were nine-tailed foxes that had the ability to fully shapeshift into a beautiful human form after living 100 years; mainly, only females had this ability. After living 1000 years, fox spirits ascend and become celestial foxes. (Huli jing that moved from China to Korea and Japan became known to the locals as kumiho and kitsune, respectively.)


Seung Min
Spoiler! :
Name: Seung Min (Seung is pronounced somewhat like "soong", but paste this 승 to get the proper pronunciation.)

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Appearance: Seung is Korean. He has thick black hair and brown eyes, and is 6'1" and skinny, giving him a lanky look (his nickname is "Giraffe"). Because he still has a bit of baby fat in his cheeks, he looks younger than he really is, like many East Asians do. He wears a long, wide tannish-brown scarf. He is also wearing a nondescript gray sweater over a black T-shirt with jeans and combat boots.

When he's nervous, he plays with the ends of his scarf. He has a mild but noticeable Korean accent.

Personality: Kind and compassionate, he enjoys helping (and healing) others and a lot of times he would put others before himself. Although he's very intelligent and a fast learner, he has never had much chance of a traditional academic education, so he loves any and all knowledge. He works hard and never complains. He's very confident when whatever it is happens to be something he's good at but he deflects compliments and sometimes degrades himself, though he is very honest and sometimes candid about his opinions about other people/things. But when he gets angry, he holds it in, pretending nothing's wrong, while it festers.

He likes to sing, eat good food, learn, and sleep somewhere warm. He hates the cold.

Background: He was born in a settlement of a post-apocalyptic winter world, in the former United States. He was raised speaking Korean, and had a very small knowledge of the English language. There, people only looked out for themselves, and they often fought with one another to stay alive. Seung's parents happened to have a little more kindness in them than the other people, and they taught him to look out for the people who were weaker than him and needed help.

However, one day his parents were killed by another member of the settlement when he was 9. Seung escaped and ran far away, with only the clothes on his back. He got lost, was on the verge of freezing, and didn't even know where he was going, but he somehow avoided any other dangers and discovered a patrol from the nearby base (strongholds created before the Freeze, supposedly by people who had predicted the aftermath, for protection). He quietly followed them back to the base; however, he wasn't quite as sneaky as his half-frozen brain believed him to be. The patrollers discovered him and carried him into the base. The leaders allowed him to stay, and he remained in the medical center while he was sick. He didn't remember much about his past after that because of the trauma; the only things that remained was his gigantic scarf and a man and a woman's voice singing "Happy Birthday" to him in Korean.

He ended up staying in the medical center since it was the only place he knew and liked, even though most of the medics didn't like him at first because he was an outsider. He learned to read and speak English, but he didn't get to go to the base's school. As he stayed in the medical center, he learned how to use medicine and herbs and treat various wounds and illnesses. Later, when he grew old enough to begin training for his permanent career, he started to officially learn to become a medic. However, many times, when the head of the medical center isn't there, the medics who usually work during the day take advantage of him every now and then and make him do odd jobs and meager tasks that they themselves don't want to do (despite the fact that they've secretly warmed to him by even just a little). He doesn't want to tell anyone about it because he feels that it will only be trouble for them to try to help him and that it won't help, and he always tries to tell himself that it's not a big deal. He has never recovered his memory completely, though bits and pieces have come through.

Powers: None, unless you count medical skills.

Strengths: He is versatile, quick on his feet and good at improvising, a quick study, as well as knowledgeable in healing/the medical field. Also, he has a bit of an innocent charm. Also fluent in Korean.

Weaknesses: He's not as muscular as other men, he doesn't have as much knowledge about certain things as many people, he gets cold easily, and he can be rather susceptible to illness at times. He fears being alone in heavy snow, especially in the wilderness. He'd probably be okay (just a little uncomfortable/nervous) if he was with someone else, but if he was by himself, it could turn into an irrational fear and he'd probably die.

Ralys Dorian Sanders

Spoiler! :
Name: Ralys Dorian Sanders

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Appearance: 5'8", athletic build, brown eyes with hecka bags under them, the poor boy never sleeps, he's covered in scars around his torso (burn scars on his back, and scars from cuts on his front), and there's a scar on his left cheek and around the left side of his neck, his blond hair is always disheveled but he makes it look good, piercings on his ears, lip and left eyebrow, his left arm has a sleeve tattoo of designs and spiderwebs, his right shoulder has a heart tattoo, and he has a tribal-esque boat tattoo thing on his hip (gosh I didn't realise how much of an edgelord he was until just now).

Personality: He's fairly quiet, but sarcastic as heck. He's cautious and slow to trust, but quick to care about the well-being of others whether he knows/trusts them or not. He's awkward in most social settings. If he's not full of sass, he's stumbling over his words and making a fool of himself.

Background: Oh gosh let me try and condense this. After a series of catastrophic natural disasters (called The Fall), his world was left in ruins and he had to survive for six years in post apocalyptic conditions. He was cycled through several different gangs (which are where the tattoos come from) where he had to do lots of sketchy and illegal stuff (though in a world where law has been obliterated, the only thing dictating wrong and right are an individuals morals).
Depending on specific roleplays, I'll write with pre-Fall Ralys or present Ralys. I can be flexible.

Powers: the ability to stay awake for two days because sleeping scares him and then he just crashes and wants to die.

Strengths: Skilled in hand to hand combat, and decent with a gun. He's fairly cool-headed and can work well under pressure, and is able to make a light of serious situations so they're not so stressful.

Weaknesses: Tends to get paranoid, reaction time is slow because he doesn't sleep well due to PTSD-induced nightmares, tends to lash out at others if he's dealing with his own internal stuff so it makes him come off as kind of a loose canon. Gets the shakes if he doesn't smoke after so long.

Margaret Bentley

Spoiler! :

Name: Margaret Bentley

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Appearance: Curly red hair, irreversibly tangled and in a permanent state of rebellion against her will. She has deep dimples that become apparent in the rare case that she chooses to smile, and full lips hiding a beautiful smile. Her clothing is almost always muddy and torn from her physically demanding lifestyle. She also refuses to wear dresses, stating they are impractical articles of clothing that always interfere with her athletics.

Personality: Margaret is bold and fierce, never admitting that she is wrong and never backing down from a fight. She is often overconfident, but she recognizes her limits- but rarely acknowledges them in action. Her persistence can pay off when she is trying to track someone down, but also can cause her to focus so much on a small problem she completely misses the larger picture. She loves her friends and family, and will do anything to protect them.

Background: Margaret's father was a hunter, and since she was 7, her father trained her in how to use the bow and arrow and also in how to survive in the forest. After her father's unfortunate death when she was only 14, Margaret became the primary provider for her mother and 2 sisters. To provide for them, she used her bow and arrow to hunt. At the age of 16, Margaret joined the Agency of Locating and Capturing Dangerous Criminals, and was drawn in by the thrill of tracking ruthless villains and the honor of serving her countries.

Powers: Margaret is a deadly shot with the bow, and has a lot of knowledge about how to survive in the forest. She has no magical powers or any power that cannot be obtained, but she has learned to compensate for that by being the best at her craft.

Strengths: Her deadly accuracy and perseverance, her boldness and charm, and her incredible love for those around her that encourages her to fight for the good and fight against the evil.

Weaknesses: Her refusal to surrender or acknowledge inferiority, her overconfidence that can cause her to overestimate her abilities and underestimate the danger of a situation, and her stubbornness when it comes to working with others.

The Queen of Hearts
Spoiler! :

Name: Angeline Valence

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Appearance: A thin woman wearing a black corset with two rows of buttons up the front. The buttons have skulls-and-crossbones with hearts for eyes on them. She wears a leather mini-skirt, a pair of gun holsters on her legs. She wears black boots with pink bows. She wears a pink masquerade mask made of two hearts, and her lips are made up to look like a heart. Her black hair with pink streaks is done up in a pair of ponytails with tiny crowns holding them up. She holds a large pink and black scythe, the handle of which kind of looks like a lava lamp with black liquid and pink wax. She has a spiked necklace that is really a choke collar.

Personality: Complicated. She has a heart of gold somewhere in there... If you can find your way past her inner chaos.

Background: She was a street kid, until someone shoved her into a car trunk. She grew up growing poppies for their seeds for a gang. Someone tried something they shouldn't have when she was about 14, and she defended herself- a bit too well. The gang decided to train her in the art of murder, and she's been their personal hitman ever since. She hates it, but with a choke collar and a remote mechanism- she doesn't have much of a choice.

Powers: Fighting capabilities.

Strengths: Training.

Weaknesses: If you consider her good heart a weakness, it really is.
We are who we are, and if someone has a problem with that; that's their problem not ours.

Marius Pontmercy
Spoiler! :
Name: Marius Tobias Pontmercy

Age: 27

Gender: Male

Appearance: Tall, blond and slender with a rather attractive face. His picture would be the first to appear if you looked up "sparkling blue eyes". Also has an easy smile, although he hates the dimples it gives him. Prefers to dress plainly when possible, in a basic shirt and pants, with moderate armour.

Personality: Friendly and affable, the sort of guy you wouldn't mind bringing home to meet your parents. Secretly suffers from a lack of confidence in himself, not that you'd ever think it from the way he acts. Still, he makes up for it with determination.

Background: Grew up in a little backwater village where nothing really happens. He has a younger brother and sister: twins, who he adores. Took a correspondence course on adventuring (10 points if you get my reference), and set out to find his fortune.

Powers: He's a spellsword, but mainly prefers to use his (passed down through the family) straight sword and tends to keep his powers for utility and healing purposes.

Strengths: Likeable and friendly personality. Trustworthy, people often open up to him. Pretty decent with a sword. Also sensible and determined.

Weaknesses: Lacks confidence. Not a particularly powerful mage. Doesn't have much experience in combat or adventuring, as he got his weapon skills taught to him by his parents, and learned to adventure in a correspondence course.


Camryn
Spoiler! :

Name: Camryn

Age: Unknown, but assumed to be between 19 and 22

Gender: Female

Appearance: Short, lithe and rather unassuming, Camryn has very little physical presence. Her face is quiet average, and not particularly memorable. Her one unusual feature would be her auburn hair, as it's not a common hair colour.

Personality: Mostly subtle and unassuming. Has a bit of a strange sense of humor. Prefers to listen rather than speaking. Usually rather patient, but becomes impulsive when flustered. Can also be quite cocky if she feels she's being underestimated.

Background: Camryn doesn't remember her family, and doesn't want to remember her family. She grew up in a town of moderate size in a guild of thieves. Being quite small, she took any advantage she could get to survive. Unfortunately there became too many thieves in her town and some of them had to leave. Camryn was one of them.

Powers: Has some latent magical talent that makes her particularly stealthy. Think Garrett from Thief, where she's not invisible, but can be quite hard to notice, even in situations where you'd think she'd be spotted, depending on how much shadow she's in. Also has other thieving related skills Knows how to use a bow, but isn't much use in an actual fight.

Strengths: Quite a skilled thief. Good at going unnoticed. Usually patient. Observant and good at listening.

Weaknesses: Gets cocky and impulsive when she feels like she's being underestimated or made fun of. Terrible in an actual fight. Has some gaps in her knowledge of social customs because of her upbringing, so can be a little awkward.



Eilonwy Keating
Spoiler! :

Name: Eilonwy "Lee" Keating

Age: 23

Gender: Female

Appearance: Lee is a young woman of average height who inherited most of good looks from her parents. She prefers to wear her dark hair loose, brushing the tops of her shoulders. She's a big fan of standing out, so she'll often be either slightly over or under dressed; not enough to tarnish her reputation, but enough to turn heads.

Personality: She's a hedonist, willing to do anything for the sake of fun, and associate with anyone. She's a bit of a daredevil because of it. Although she drinks and flirts with reckless abandon, she isn't a smoker. The easiest way to get her on your side is to convince her that it'll be interesting, and the fastest way for her to snub you is if you bore her. She's not stupid though. Reckless, vivacious, flighty and easily bored, yes. An idiot, no. Not that it's ever particularly obvious.

To say she has commitment issues would be an understatement however. She changes social circles about as often as she changes outfits. She flirts very casually and her longest relationship lasted a week.

Background: (She's my Fallen London character) “…..Eilonwy Keating; Lee to her friends, lovers, and anyone she wants to convince that they belong in one of the former categories. She is a young woman of nebulous origins, although rumor is that she is an escapee from New Newgate.

Regardless of how she arrived on our streets, Lady Keating has quickly been making her mark, and appears to be rather connected with her fellow Bohemians, high Society and possibly even Hell itself. More recently this Darling of the Ambassador’s Ball has been seen within the walls of the Shuttered Palace, and possibly even within the Fallen Empresses court… [the bottom of this page is missing, however the biography continues on the other side of the paper]

If she can be said to have one major flaw it would be her hedonism. It’s no secret that there is very little she is not willing to do for the sake of entertainment. Nor is it any secret that she has been seen associating with less than savory factions. Her enthusiastic support for the tomb colonist Feducci is only the latest in a long line of questionable associates. Regardless of whether she remains notable for her charm or scandal…. [here is where the excerpt is cut off]”

Has an aunt, who she is fairly close too, sometimes helped by, and who often inconveniences her.

Powers: Carries a flintlock revolver. Also not utterly terrible in hand-to-hand combat.

Strengths: Her wits and charm. Fairly observant. Also tends to be underestimated, which gives her a bit of an advantage.

Weaknesses: Hedonistic. Shallow. Can be selfish. Has issues committing to anything.


Alexi Rose
Spoiler! :

Name: Alexi Soraya Rose

Age: 27

Gender: Female

Appearance: Short, and kind of chubby. Fairly long hair, of that weird shade that's halfway between blonde and brown. A big fan of boots, capes and practical outfits, mainly black or brown pants and shirts in a variety of colours.

Personality: Pretty amicable to most people. Makes bad puns a lot. Loves knowledge and learning, and has a tendency to question everything from authority to the world around her. Can be quite socially awkward, as she's a little shy and tends to prefer books to people.

Background: Alexi is the only child of a smith and a town guard. From birth she loved being read to, and this love of literature only increased as she grew older. She also tended to ask incessant questions. She inherited magic from her grandparents on both sides of the family. Because it skipped a generation in her parents they were unable to teach her, and had to send her away to school. Fortunately she flourished in this environment surrounded by books. Since graduating she returned home for a few years, before her sense of wanderlust grew too much and she began to travel, with the goal of learning as much as she could.

Powers: A mage of decent power. Quite a good repertoire of knowledge as well.

Strengths: Intelligent. Loyal. Good handle of combat magic.

Weaknesses: Can ask too many questions, making her seem a bit of a rebel without a cause. Sometimes comes off as rude, blunt or tactless.

Kellach Vermil

Spoiler! :
Name: Kellach Vermil

Age: Unknown, presumably in his twenties.

Gender: Male

Appearance: In human form, he's a short, green-eyed man with rebellious hair. Lean and tanned, he has a few scars on his face and neck, though nothing especially disfiguring. Then there is his half-form (bipedal, 4-foot sea otter), and full form (regular sea otter). In the first two forms, he generally wears a long overcoat over baggy pants/boxers. They're sand-covered and reminiscent of a sailor's outfit, and often accompanied by a bandana he wears over his forehead (especially in half-form).

Personality: He's optimistic, gung-ho, and daring. Witty when he wants to be (or most of the time), he's usually an active presence. He does have a few spells of depression, and he's utterly hopeless in romance, but his emotions are otherwise consistent.

Background: He lived with his large extended family among the caves by the seashore of his home country in his childhood. Eventually setting out to explore the world, he ended up working in a dead-end, little-pay job steering (along with thousands of others) the chief sky vessel (more complicated blimps) of those run by the self-proclaimed (and justified) King of Traders, Adolphus. He was then pushed into a small, protagonistic army as compensation for their aiding Adolphus. Kellach has worked for that army ever since.

Powers: No particular magical aptitude; he doesn't care for it. He's best with a pair of knives and a set of reed pipes that are strangely alluring to passerby (implying some faint magical presence, ironically, though he doesn't know it).

Strengths: Fighting, speed, music, temperament, optimism, lying.

Weaknesses: Bravado, bad sense of self-preservation, romance.



Kendrik

Spoiler! :
Name: Kendrik ___ (He never had a last name)

Age: Probably around 27.

Gender: Male

Appearance: He tends not to be in human form; when he is, he's a lanky, tall-ish man (about 6 feet) with sand-colored hair and light skin. He typically dresses in brown clothes (often with holes), and a belt wrapped tight around him with a scabbard attached to the side. His half-form is a slightly shorter, bipedal black canine; his full-form is a black-colored Pharaoh Hound. Kendrik dresses the same and has a similar build in his human and half-forms. In his half and full-forms, the left hand/front left paw (respectively) is white. He's a southpaw.

Personality: Bitter, defensive, and pessimistic. He tends not to issue threats unless provoked, and even then won't typically fight unless he feels he has to. He doesn't much like people in general. For those he cares about, he acts as a complete guard-dog (pun intentional). Due to his origin, he has a thick accent that makes him sound marginally incomprehensible (a source of much frustration for him). Those who don't understand what he says know in his tone that he's often annoyed and prone to swearing.

Background: Kendrik was born and raised in Azareth, to the far north of the world of Fayne. Azareth, ruled by the dictator Mila, tended to persecute the hounds. His large family collapsed because of this - the parents were conscripted to fight in Azareth's war with Xyalta (an effective death sentence), and his elder siblings met similar fates. He was mostly raised by an ex-pirate who taught him how to fight and defend himself. Kendrik's more level-headed twin brother, Kynan, helped keep him sane. They both were forced to work in a myriad of jobs, effectively being slaves. After an incident he'd rather not speak of, Kendrik was separated from his brother, hauled off to jail, and ran into a princess. A short escape later, he joined an army, and has been there ever since.

Powers: Good with a sword, on top of being fairly strong. He has been learning basic magic to help out his love interest.

Strengths: Fighting, wielding a sword, resilience, strength, basic work.

Weaknesses: Temperamental, aggressive, bitter, defensive, hard to understand.



Shiruba Hyusei

Spoiler! :
Name: Shiruba Hyusei

Age: 62 (for his species, fairly young, and he looks young as well)

Gender: Male

Appearance: In human form, he's of average height and build. Shiruba has silver hair and gray eyes (the latter of which appear to be flash red when he's enraged or in the darkness - this is believed to be a consequence of his aptitude for magic), as well as thin, sharp angled eyebrows and sharp features. He dresses in colorful robes, signifying his status as Crown Prince via his country's emblem of a fox chasing away a hawk, and keeps his scabbard and sword in a hidden compartment by his right leg. His half-form and full-form are, respectively, a bipedal and quadruped bastard fox (the offspring of a red fox/silver fox, blending their colors and traits). His half-form, as expected, closely mirrors his human form in build and height.

Personality: Not very nice. Shiruba is prideful, easily enraged, prone to pulling out his sword and threatening. He is an enormous ego hiding a bruised personality, the latter of which only reveals itself to his wife and the few friends he has, and is the product of his grandfather's control over his life and the faint awareness of how easily others manipulate him. When around his wife, he acts calmer, mainly when she persuades him to. He's fairly nationalistic and somewhat racist to non-foxes. In general, he's certainly not an idiot, but he compensates by being impulsive and brash.

Background: Shiruba was born as the eldest grandchild to a prominent politician and rising-through-the-ranks soldier, Yasuko. Shiruba's parents, the product of a political marriage designed to bolster Yasuko's prominence while also being built on mutual affection, died in the midst of the War of the Pearls, waged between the foxes and snakes. Yasuko was enraged enough to become a general, lead his people to victory, and ascend to the throne among immense popular support after the War concluded (the old royal family having died off in the conflict). Hence, Shiruba became the Crown Prince of the Fox Throne. Yasuko tried to raise Shiruba to be as tolerant and respectful as himself. Shiruba proved rebellious, however, and latched onto the nationalistic and racist ideologies of the lords who held as much power as Yasuko (and so were often Yasuko's enemies in policy matters).

The relationship between King and Prince has remained unsteady ever since, mainly due to Yasuko's obsession over his grandson's life and Shiruba's rebel nature. Yasuko arranged a political marriage between Shiruba and Enide, the daughter of one of the lords. It proved to be an empty relationship, and one of the foundations for Shiruba's hatred of his grandfather, until Shiruba and Enide realized they both had a mutual dislike (ironically enough) for the greedy, corrupt lords. The two have spent their time ever since fighting against the lords, though the nature of their marriage has dampened any romantic attraction they could have had for each other (for the time being).

Powers: Talented at both fire magic and swords, Shiruba combined them in a specially-designed blade that, thanks to the energy-laden stones within, contains great amounts of magical energy. In other words, he has a sword that can catch on fire, on top of being surprisingly sharp.

Strengths: Swords, intelligence, fire magic, strength, and an affection for very few people.

Weaknesses: Impulsive, aggressive, violent, rebellious, racist, spiteful, prideful, frustrated.



Aegeas

Spoiler! :
Name: Aegeas

Age: 31

Gender: Male

Appearance: Like the others above, he's not human. He has a human form, half-form, and full-form. Since he hasn't been in his human form in years (and I've never quite imagined one for him, shhhhh), it's better to focus on the other two. In his half-form, he's a 5 foot tall, bipedal river otter with baggy tan pants, a blue shirt, and a belt holding two large (for him) scimitars. In his full-form, of course, he's a river otter. Fitting his species, he's more lanky than not, an adept swimmer, and nearsighted.

Personality: Heroic and selfless to a fault, on top of being a horrible liar, he's calm under pressure. Actually, he's calm almost all of the time. He's good at analyzing his surroundings and judging others, and is generally a patient listener (when he wants to be, since he tends to make snap judgments). More of a pacifist, he will fight if the situation calls for it. Underneath the surface lies a lot of anxiety, depression, and anger, the products of his childhood. They rarely manifest themselves, except under certain circumstances. It's better for everyone involved if they don't.

Background: He lived with his family by one of the rivers winding through southern Lecizstan. Comprised of his mother and father, two sisters (Nikophoros and Nikophemes, twins), and a sister turned brother (who would later take the name Tristan), and him, his family spent years as semi-successful fishermen. After the tragic death of one of his sisters, and the unfortunate incident that followed, Aegeas was conscripted onto a trading vessel sailing between Lecizstan and The Confederacy. He spent years sailings, gradually finding himself a girlfriend and a best friend. Long after he had finished his term of servitude, he finally decided to explore the world after hearing about the supposed death of his brother. Gathering his two closest friends, they set off to accomplish a dream of growing rich via making and selling swords. He ran into a small army during his adventures, and the rest is history.

Powers: Definitely good with swords. He's not really interested in anything else.

Strengths: Fighting, swords, swimming, coordination, singing (he has a decent voice), listening.

Weaknesses: Stubborn, presumptuous, depressed, angry, sometimes loses control over himself.


Jaron Lane Beresford

Spoiler! :
Name: Jaron Lane Beresford

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Appearance: As a human, he's lanky and short. With frayed black hair that stands on end easily, as well as extremely pale skin, he has a few scars and burn marks from his various experiments. Because he's a hybrid, he has two half-forms and two full-forms - an arctic fox and a wolf. His fox form is small and has a frayed tail, while his wolf form is larger and burlier (though he uses it infrequently). Save for his full-forms, he'll always be wearing overalls with pockets stuffed full of tools and pieces of machinery. He typically smells like oil and often leans to one side because of the weight of what he carries. All of these forms are male. Due to convoluted genetic reasons, he actually has three parents, but neither he or nor his parents have any knowledge of this.

Personality: To wit, he's a paranoid kleptomaniac. More specifically, he's intensely shy and introverted. He's likely to hide from anyone he meets for the first time, if not throw whatever he's holding at them. If he likes someone, though, he can be very loyal. Non-verbal, he relies more on gestures and expressions to communicate thoughts or ideas. That isn't to say he can't speak; he speaks occasionally, if quietly. And yes, he does steal things impulsively. An engineer at heart, he's adept at breaking down - literally or otherwise - and understanding all kinds of machinery. He often devises machines of his own, though many of them, due to his situation, are used for battle. He's not a good fighter himself.

Background: Born in The Icy North of the world of Fayne, he was raised by the arctic fox family of one of his fathers in their mansion at one of the coastal towns, among the snow and frozen earth. His mother and other father had fled their homeland to escape desperate poverty, selling themselves into slavery to the arctic fox family. His status as a hybrid - and, of course, the product of an affair - meant that Jaron was treated by the arctic fox family as little more than a servant. When his fox father married into a wealthy family, that treatment magnified under the watchful eye of Jaron's stepmother. His fox father still respected enough to teach him to read and write, but Jaron spent his childhood miserable.

Eventually his talent as a mechanic, manifesting from meeting merchants who came to trade with his family, spread enough for the lord of the town to invite Jaron to live with him. Jaron's family happily gave Jaron up, hoping to use him as a springboard to reach greater prominence. It didn't go well. Jaron did improve as a creator and engineer, but his experiences ultimately led him to flee his hometown and explore the world (this is where a lot of his anxiety and kleptomania comes from). Stealing and dodging authorities, he made his way to a soldier's position in the city-state of Wyandanch (they really were looking to hire anyone). The marginally abandoned place gave him a perfect ground to scrounge and find materials as he saw fit, while his position gave him decent wages and food.

In the fall of the city, he lost an arm and most of his work. Saved from the verge of death by a kindly couple who ran an inn, he decided to make his way back home. Making a synthetic arm and attaching it to the stump where the original had been, he tried in futility to get it to work as he made his way north. When he reached northern Azareth, he tried to board a ship, only to enrage the crew enough to where they stuck him on the rigging and threatened to throw him into the sea. The timely arrival of soldiers from a small army freed him, beginning a new, far happier phase in his life.

Powers: He has no particular aptitude with either magic or weapons. What little magic he does know serves primarily to aid him in his work. Adept with machines, he's also created a shorthand form of writing to keep notes.

Strengths: Machinery, creativity, loyalty, intelligence.

S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse
a persona che mai tornasse al mondo,
questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse.
Ma per ciò che giammai di questo fondo
non tornò vivo alcun, s'i' odo il vero,
senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo.

Inferno, Canto 27, l 61-66.
