Staff Characters



Picture
Kitxoone
Roleplayed by: Mindsend
Profession(s): Elder Guardian of eggs. Magic and Weapons Master. Storyteller, historian, Scroll Keeper, general know-it-all... As well as Master of the Luau.
Gender: Male
Height: 4'3"
Species: Fairy/Phoenix Spirit
Age: Unknown
Weapon of Choice: Pronged Blade Spear (lovingly nicknamed "The Spork" by Kitxoone's students)
Background: Kitxoone has been around for as long as anyone can remember, but not always in the same body. What he started as, no one knows, but if you can think of it, the scrappy and boisterous man has likely lived a life as one of them and has an adventure story to tell about it.

Many would believe that they were simply the tall tales of a warrior without a war to fight, but the truth is not always the most realistic of stories.

Kitxoone is a being that stumbled enlightenment, but then desided to stick around instead, prefering to learn more about the world and share his knowledge to living in a serene bliss. However, choosing to live physically then live on spiritually has caused an unusual hiccup -- He is reincarnated, and his next life has all the memory, mystical skills, and personality of the life he discovered Enlightenment in, and would start taking up the physical traits of this past life -- Often in the form of physical strength, markings, long ears, claws, colors, and the armor that covers his wings. How long he will live as one of the Ageless fairies is unknown. Possibly it will be his last form as long as he is not killed by an outside source. But even then, death is only the begining of his next big adventure.

He ages and dies just like a normal being of that species, but is always reborn soon afterwards. With his memory and long life, Kitxoone is the one to go to for information, though he tends to just lead the asker down the path of discovery themselves, so if its a direct answer you want, you may want to go somewhere else. However, he cooks a mean Kalua Pig and knows what he's doing, so taking the round about method is often very much worth it.







User ImageAcardis
Roleplayed by: Zephlis
Gender: Male
Species: A long extinct subspecies of Aviadracus
Height and Flight: Standing on all four legs he would be around 6ft tall. Much of his stature is that of a regular avian though he tends to be stockier and stronger build than his closely related cousins.
Age: Ageless
Powers: He has the ability of most ghost in that he can walk through solid objects and is unaffected by the world around him, but most would call him a poltergeist. He can move objects around at will, and interact with other painters if he so chooses. For the most part he remains partly visible but he can disappear in an instant and reappear at his own discretion.

Background: Acardis was a subspecies of Aviadracus that was once found it the snowy mountain peeks of what is now the Painters Canyon. Unlike the present day Avia he has feathers instead of scales and horns instead of fins. He died during the last battle between Kahlidah and the mysterious master of Darkness. No one knows why only he remains bound to this world, but few have seen him long enough to even ask.

User ImageThe Grand Desert: Much of the magic and legends of the SandPainters stems from the grand desert. Though vast and mostly desolate there is much treasure that can be found in the beauty of its canyons, buttes, and cliffs that lay within its boundaries. It’s the second largest area on the whole island and at its very heart lays the SandPainters Canyon. Many familiars can be found in this area. There are popular oasis areas around the buttes where Painters like to gather to relax.

There is a sense of majesty to the area that is thought to have given rise to the legend of the first SandPainter who was formed by fire and wind with the desert sand by the great volcano spirit.


User ImageThe SandPainter Canyon: Ridged, and wide, this canyon has seemed to have surpassed even the test of time. For as long as the painters have been living on this island the Canyon was their with its miles of underground tunnels and overhanging stone bridges has provided a safe haven and living quarters for even the greatest number of painters. There is a legend that the great volcano spirit herself split a mountain range in a fit of furry but in doing so created a home for the painters.

The canyon is marked with grand stone bridges, the largest of which is 80 miles across with many supporting stone pillars. The sides of the canyon and the bridges have been carved out into grand cities of granite. There are also dwellings carved into the massive and stalagmites/tites, and wall springs for a source of fresh water. The mouth of the canyon opened to the sea, allowing the Merdracs to inhabit the lower areas of the canyon


User ImageThe Scrub Forest: This is home to many of the Aviadracus. Much of their day time they spend roosting in the trees or training Dire Owls to be familiars. The scrub forest is the main habitat for the Dire Owl and houses many plants that are good for medicines and magic’s. Aviadracus harvest these plants and provide them to the rest of the painter communities. But other than that, its most just full of ordinary dry weather plants.

Many painters come to the Scrub forest to watch the sun rise. Every morning the plants and rocks of the area are covered in a fine dew that glimmers in a rainbow of colors with the rising sun lighting up the land in an amazing display.



User ImageThe Jungle of Sleep: Deep, dark and thick. Many mysteries surround this large area that covers over 2/3rds of the Island. For its size and the diversity of life, it’s called the jungle of sleep for how quiet it is in that dark tangle of trees and vines. It is said that a Tribe of Strange, gliding dragons resides in there that have a highly potent poison which could knock out even the strongest painter. Though.. No one has ever been able to claim they have seen these mysterious dragons. All those who have encountered them, or so they think, woke up on the border of the forest, unknowing on how they came to be there. Not many live in is area for that very reason. The only one who has been left alone is Kitxoone who runs a training camp near the border around Crater Lake. Perhaps he has an immunity to these strange occurrences. Those who train at his camp are hardly ever disturbed as well. Perhaps this mystery will be reveled in time.


User ImageThe Crater Lake: This Lake is all that remains of the volcano that originally formed the Island of Hal’ia. Now dead, it filled with sea water after a massive earthquake split the land in two forming the SandPainter canyon. Over time rains replaces the salt water creating a fresh water habitat. Many of the marine life that was swept into the lake, have slowly adapted to the change and a unique ecosystem was formed. One of the popular residents is the fresh water jellies that no longer have any poison in their tentacles. Their bright colors and bioluminescence light up this deep dark hole of water. If you are looking for a new exciting experience this haven of aquatic life it a top choice, with its underwater caverns and unique rock formations, it really is a sight to behold.



User ImageMerdrac Cove: Above the land isn't a great place to view Merdracs, silly! But to jump out of the glowing clement skys and dive under water to the warm shallow coral coves of this biodiverse marine heaven. The oceans blue ribbons help emboss the rainbow of thousands of species of fish and a wide variety of rare Merdracs as well, a perfect time to go swimming in a peaceful environment. Soft rubbery sea sponges, algae, and all kinds of plants and seaworms powered with the many clans of fish help work together to make this beautiful aquatic city of colors. This peaceful cove is a great hot spot for fishing or just relaxing, who knows?

The Underwater Cliffs are part of the Sandpainter Cavern (used to be Hal’ia's massive cavern system before the earthquake thousands of years ago), which opens right out to the ocean. Life is abundant and strange. There are lots of underwater caves filled with airpockets. While fun to explore it is easy to get lost.


User ImageThe Western Island: Few dare to trend on this island. From a glance, one would think that this is mainly due to the lava flows hostile terrain. The raging earth with its almighty furry and anger clashes together and rises from the interior as impetuous burning molten lava. Anyone would fear such a tremendous sight, but local legends give other reasons for this strange feeling of power the land emits. While the south has managed to start a small jungle, where a small group of humans live mainly to serve the Volcano spirit, It's hard to imagine anything could sustain life on its Northern Side, only a fool would dare go beyond the land to reach the island. Although the size of the island is small compared to its father land, its rage of power seams to give it the sense a beating heart and supporting life that keeps the land alive.
