        Amani ║▌ minus the wing anklets chibi /

        Gender » female
        Age » ?? looks around 20+
        Species » Wing creature / Dragon

        Spunky, brave, out going girl, can be aggressive and bratty at times and can get possessive over Talise. She'll usually go out to find Talise instead of doing her duties in her unit, her easy going attitude can get her into trouble at times.
        She's a dragon creature and has a dragon form but doesn't change into it much because she's not aloud to. She's outspoken and will usually say what's on her mind.

        Her wings can expand really wide but she can also retract them and make them really small. She can also extend her tail. Amani also has a full human form with no wings/tail/horns.

        She's known Talise since they were young, they don't always see eye to eye but she respects and values her. She loves Talise a lot.

        She's always fighting (physically/verbally) with Necalli, she doesn't hate him, but she doesn't like him either, fighting might also just be a habit between them. She'll usually change into her dragon form when fighting him.

        She only met Maria recently but they get along well.

        She likes Devon, she just thinks he's a wuss and needs to toughen up.

        Location before adventure » Her unit changes location a bit, mostly caves and islands in the Pacific, like the Coronado islands or Marietas Islands
        Clothes » skirts, shorts, all her tops are strapless! so; anything strapless
        she can also be drawn scaly (like a lizard, or dragon type creature) covering most of her body (da lady partsss)
        when walking among the humans she'll wear a jacket or a gavan (pancho) to cover her wings.
        Hair color » dark red color, long and wavy
        Eye color » grey

        Talise ║▌ with a less flowy fin /

        Gender » female
        Age » ?? looks around 20+
        Species » Water creature / Mermaid

        Talise is a mellow girl, she'll do what her group leader says and she follows orders. She hates fighting and conflict so she'll do anything to avoid it. She does have an adventurous side though, and she'll usually go out and find Amani and spends most days with her.

        She's know Amani since they were young. Amani took a liking to her when they were training together years ago. It took awhile for Talise to return Amani's affection, but she couldn't image her life without Amani.

        She's known Necalli for awhile and she doesn't think much of him, he's okay, as long as he doesn't take his fighting with Amani to far.

        She likes Maria, she's very relaxed like Talise.

        She gets along with Devon, she thinks he can be immature at times.

        Location before adventure » Marietas Islands, anywhere in the Pacific
        Clothes » when in full human form she wears loose flowy dresses Amani makes for her, or something similar to Maria since Maria gives her clothes
        can also be drawn scaly (like a fish, covering da lady partss)
        Hair color » a light purple with green tips, short, straight
        Eye color » green
        Fin color » Purple and greenish-blueish

        Maria ║▌ /

        Gender » female
        Age » ?? 18-ish, younger looking
        Species » Creature tamer / Human-type

        A young, quiet, brave tamer. Her farthest memory is Mayan times, and her first creature encounter was Necalli. She talks with the creatures in her area and helps them if they need help. Her job is to keep the peace between creatures and humans.
        She loves and gets her energy from the stars, (like most tamers) because even though they were born of human parents, they all have the blood of the galaxy guardian, and it's been said that she lives among the stars.

        She gets along with Amani but at times it gets hard to deal with her rebellious attitude.

        She gets along very well with Talise.

        She spend most of her time with Necalli, he lets her know when anything out of the ordinary happens or when someone has gotten into a fight.

        She connects with Devon because he's also a human, she can relate to some of his problems.

        Location before adventure » Yucatan, Mexico
        Clothes » some traditional mexican/southern american clothes, tank tops, sandles,
        she has a necklace similar to Necalli's with a matching bracelet that can be worn on either hand, it enhances her powers,
        some clothes ideas x x x x or google 'Puebla dress'
        Hair color » silver/white/grey
        Eye color » dark brown, she also has almond shaped eyes,

        Personality wise he's very cautious, serious at times but he can also be very immature. Also sarcastic and laughs at/makes lame jokes. Maria calls him a dork. He's 'The Chosen One' he has powers similar to Maria but he has yet to awaken them fully.

║▌│█│║▌║ │█ ▌█ ║✿ background story-ish


        Dragon type creatures (and all other creatures) once roamed the earth unbothered living side by side with humans. As the years passed, the humans became more advanced, detaching themselves from nature and gaining new weapons to kill each other and other species. They created little colonies of their own, and grew tired of having to share the land with all the other creatures and they eventually started hunting and killing these creatures for game. Since the creatures weren't allowed to fight back their numbers diminished and it wasn't until the guardians stepped up to help that it finally stopped. The guardians decided it was best to give the world to the humans (because it was Gods will) and stop the re-population of the creatures, the younger creatures would be granted immortal life and stop aging at a certain point, and older ones would live out their mortal lives and die.

        Tamers were born randomly, born of human parents. Tamers are always born with a unique feature, nothing big, just something to separate them from the rest, they were also given immortal life, to tame and control the creatures left on earth.

        The world now (ours) is fully ruled by humans, living side by side with the creatures long forgotten to hold any power at all. The immortal foxes, wolves, chinchillas, birds all live in units run by one leader, some rarely shifted into their human form. Some creatures like dragon creatures live in hiding since they cant stay in dragon form, some other creatures like mermaids have an easier time hiding, living deep in the sea or tangled in coral, mermaids do have a fish form but it's been long forgotten by most and they rarely shift now, feathered serpent type creatures usually disguise themselves as snakes or birds.

        Rogue creatures have been gathering to kill humans, this group is unidentified, the leader is a mystery, but the mission is clear, they want to start another war with the humans and rule the world once more. Rumors spread through all the lands and all the creatures are on their toes, but no one knows what to do, or how to find and stop this group.

        Amani takes up this task and figures out that she needs to awaken all the guardians and use their power to stop these rogue creatures. With the help from Talise, Maria and the chosen human (also Necalli but he just invited himself) she travels the world looking for the guardians.
