Name: Irianna, Iri, The Ghost

Age: 22 years

Special Abilities: Iri was changed by the Soul Stone, so she has a few tricks up her sleeves. First of all, she can fly. Iri controls the wind and air and has a pair of large wings that grow from her shoulder blades, so she has two modes of flight. Paired with her affiliation with the air is her special eyesight. Iri can see the path of the air, making it easier for her to wield her element and to navigate during flight. One of her air techniques, which involves dissolving into the air and becoming invisible or transparent, earned her the nickname "The Ghost".

Character Description: Iri is a woman who is short, only 5' 3", but she's stout from years of working on a farm. Before she was introduced to the Soul Stone, Iri's eyes were greyish blue. Now her eyes are violet and very vivid. Also thanks to the Soul Stone, Iri has a large pair of white wings that extend from her shoulders and small claws where she used to have fingernails. Her hair is coppery red, and almost looks like fire in the sunlight. She lets her hair get as long as chin length in the front, but she keeps the back boyishly short. She claims that she likes the way her hair frames her face, but hates it when hair sticks to the back of her neck when she works. Despite years of working in the sun, Iri has managed to stay a little on the pale side. Sunburns just never turn into a tan for her. Because she spends most of her time in the Ashen Mountains, Iri tends to where white or grey to blend in with the silver trees.

Character Background: Iri is nothing but a hardworking farmer's daughter. That farmer believed in expanding the horizons of his children, though. Iri and her three sisters were all taught how to run the farm, but they were also taught how to survive in the wilderness of Iwa and to be creative, resourceful, and independent individuals. It helped that his daughters were all a little quirky and head strong to begin with.

Of the daughters of Rowan and Carla the farmers, two were captured by the Rifters. Iri and her youngest sister, Magdalena, were changed by the Soul Stone. Iri was the one who stole the Stone with the help of a disaffected Rifter. Then she brought the Stone back to Landing and hid it somewhere in the Ashen Mountains. Using the Tower as their sort of headquarters, Iri, Mag, and the Rifter known as Wist are setting up a resistance agains the slave traders of the Rift.

Name: Lina "Hax" Sarket

Age: 1436 Years of Age, 2nd body. Looks 13 or 20 depending on form.

Special Abilities: Extremely Fast in Hybrid form. Trades Ki/Mana for Self Healing Aura in hybrid form. Combat form changes Lina from seeming like a little girl to a form that obviously can actually pack a punch in a fight.(still hasn't appeared yet.)

Character Description: Lina describes her hybrid-form as being based off the concept of a werecat, more specifically a werecheetah. Normally in human form her silver hair is held in a long ponytail, small spots scattered throughout her hair; said spots being more pronounced in her hybrid form. She prefers to remain in her hybrid form. The form is mostly human looking when one goes beyond the addition of the obvious fur, her long tail, and cat like ears on the sides of her head in place of the normal human ones. Her fur is patterned in a manner similar to a cheetah, white fur running up her face. Her back shows clear signs of the pattern of a cheetah, if not for the strange silver coloration.
Lina normally wears shorts and a tight sleeveless top. Her shoes similar in design to sneakers aside from the weighted steel coverings which at first glance would make one think her fighting ability relies on the ability to kick, but closer inspection shows the shoes seem closer to training weights. Around one arm is a bundle wrapped in bandages, looking similar to a cast outside the signs of gold metal just above the knuckle. The metal is in fact the end of a gauntlet that runs the entire length of the bandages, with a retractable cat's claw.
Her Normal self seems young and shorter than average at just around four feet tall. Her hybrid form seems a little more mature, probably in part to the additional foot of height. Some say the combat form, which ages the her age look somewhere in the early twenties, makes Lina look like a 'ginormous bombshell'. Lina's opinion is that her normal form is too small everywhere, while her combat form is too large everywhere.

Character Background: Of many test subjects Lina is the only survivor of the genetic modifications made by a woman she refuses to name. She was a clone before her imprisonment by the woman. It is believed that the silver in her blood which nearly killed her is in fact what saved her life, though the side effect was leaving her fur's pigment changed in a way that reflected the metal. She tries not to talk about her life, or what was done to her. Lina's body is very childlike, but if her personality doesn't give her age away the horrors hidden behind her eyes do.
After being used as an experiment and the healing properties that came from the success the experimentation only became worse, Lina was able to recover, usually even completely recovering from most normally fatal attempts at organic modification. While most of these traits were failures that faded away with time one that was most re-enforced was what Lina calls combat programming. Her body seems to age seven years while her height doubles once this 'programming' comes into play. In this 'combat form' the increased size and strength make it obvious that she can fight, but it comes with a tradeoff of loosing control of herself to the guidelines of this 'programing'

Lina is an off-worlder who arrived due to crashing a ship she was being forced to fly. As her orders were to return the ship, and the crash of the ship nullified any chance of returning said ship she found herself enjoying the first glimpse of freedom in several decades.
She knows she has little more than self healing and speed in hybrid form. Her Human form can manifest spiritual energy, but upon landing is still unable to focus it properly.

((Probably needs some cleanup))

Name: Psyche

Age: 22

Special Abilities: Due to the Soul Stone Psyche has the ears, claws, tail, and golden eyes of a fox. Along with the physical features she has enhanced senses. Her sight, hearing, and sense of smell are all very keen like a fox. She also has the power to use ice and can form it with her energy. Although she has not mastered the ability yet it comes in handy. She is quickly adapting to the changes in her body, senses, and her powers.

Character Description:
Psyche is 5'5 so she is about average height for a woman. Before the changes caused by the Soul Stone Psyche had long platinum blonde hair that is layered and reached her waist, pale blue eyes, and tan skin; however, her hair is now snow white with hints of silver and ice blue that dance in the sunlight. The fox ears and tail are white with hints of silver as well. Her tanned body from years in the sun is now a pale cream color. Her eyes are golden and feral but convey her emotions well. The major change in her body was that it became more sensual. Every aspect of her now perfect body oozes sexuality and femininity.

Character Background:
Psyche was the only girl in her family and she was the youngest. She had 3 older brothers who had raised her since her parents passed away when she was a young child. However, her brothers were all killed by the rifters because they refused to go without a fight. Now Psyche is on her own.
Psyche is a very intelligent person and capable of taking care of herself, but her brothers had isolated her from other men so she is very naive when it comes to anything sexual. Which is why she dislikes her current form. Everytime she looks at herself she blushes and is constantly embarrassed from her body that is the opposite of her personality. She wears simple clothes to downplay her figure and newly acquired sexiness. She usually wears tan shorts that are covered in pockets that she uses to store nifty items away. While traveling she wears tan boots made for hiking and terrain, but she prefers the comfort of sandals when she can relax. Her top is a white strap shirt that is loose and comfortable but it is not capable of hiding her hourglass figure and other assets.
Psyche suspects that she was intended for 'entertainment' purposes. The idea of what may have happened to her terrifies her and she is determined to not let that fate happen to herself or anyone else. She has decided to leave her home and find the Ghost to join the resistance against the rifters.

Reeve The Vagabond

PostPosted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 10:23 pm
((Note: Over years of playing Reeve, I felt that his story and abilities got a little too convoluted, so I'm using this chance to keep the name and start from scratch. He's gonna be a little different this time.))

Name: Reeve Rhion

Age: 23

Special Abilities: If Reeve has any abilities that could truly be called 'special', he's yet to learn about them. This is of course, not to imply that they don't exist. On the more mundane side of things, he's a talented-if not gifted practitioner of herbology.

Character Description: He's about 5'4'' or so, and though not quite muscular, he's not exactly flabby, either. He has curiously bright brown eyes, like sunlight through amber. His brown hair is sheared fairly close to his head, in the tradition of his Order. His mode of dress varies upon the situation, but, again, in keeping with the precepts of his sect, any shirt he wears, formal, casual, or otherwise, has a wide hood. This serves as a nod to his monastic allegiance while allowing him to wear clothing that isn't as restrictive as the old monks habits'. Most usually he wears a hooded, olive t-shirt and blue jeans, together with Converse-style low-tops in a style one might call 'pious slacker'.

Character Background: An unsolved double-homicide (later deemed to be a Rifter scouting party) left Reeve orphaned at the young age of 5. With no community close by his home, the child instead was taken under the wing of The Order of The Scribes. These are the monks whose job it is to record history, that mankind may never forget its origins or its mistakes. While not particularly 'fun' foster parents, the Scribes provided Reeve with a safe home in their mountain monastery to grow and learn. While there, Reeve gained much respect as a grower of plants. He seemed to know their medicinal properties instinctively, despite encountering few in the wild, and certainly not their home regions. A small cadre of Scribes is dedicated to retrieving 'lost' knowledge or books left in dangerous locations, and to that end, all monks receive a minimum of martial training. While competent, Reeve's combat abilities were never stellar. Many of the monks attributed this to the violence of his youth. Humble and unsure to a fault, apart from his green thumb, Reeve did not stand out much among his fellow probate Scribes, though the reason for his coming to the Order did cause the Father Abbot to favor him (as much as an Abbot of nerds can razz ). Now, Reeve has been sent out of Ecrivos Abbey in order to make his way into the world. His objective is to return with a tome of value or with his own records of important history for the Order's vaults, in a sort of right of passage into the Brotherhood of the Quill.

Name: Damion Merkato (Mer-KAY-to) and by extention his reptilian associate Stone.

Age: 7. As is Stone, but he seems to be a very intellegent 16 mentally.

Special Abilities: Damion has the ability to telepathically communicate with the various reptilian species of Iwa. There tends to be a proximity on it, beyond which he can't speak to them. The only exception to this rule is Stone, who for some reason he can speak to at any distance.

Character Description: Damion is short and scrawny for his age, standing at only about 2'10''. He has a mop-top of light brown hair, approximately the color of Hersheys chocolate. His eyes are a stormy grayish-blue. He spends a lot of time on the move, but is still remarkably pale. In terms of clothes, he wears whatever he can get his hands on, even if it's just an old sack he cut holes in. The only thing he constantly makes sure he has is clean...ahem...undergarments, because it's just plain nasty otherwise. If he sees a more suitable outfit, he'll grab it and dispose of the one he's wearing. He never has shoes, so the soles of his feet are toughened up quite a bit.

As for Stone, he looks like your average Ashen Mountains lizard, but he's slightly smaller, the perfect size for Damion to ride.

Character Background: Damion grew up on the streets. Abandoned at birth, he was "cared for" by a local woman who really just used his inherent childish charms to scam people into giving up their cash. He was malnourished, and mistreated. His only friends were the lizards in the nearby forests of the Ashen Mountain foothills, who he could somehow communicate with. It was with one such group that he met Stone, a lizard of his physical age but who was quite a bit older mentally. Stone was a runt, a lot like Damion, and the two grew to trust and rely on each other. Damion ran away with Stone and never saw the woman again. Only later would he discover she'd been killed in a Rifter raid. Somehow he didn't feel bad.

Damion's years of working for the woman (he never calls her anything else) turned him into a headstrong, confident, street-savvy kid. He's an adept pickpocket, and he uses the abovementioned childish charms to his advantage. But he can also hold his own in a fight against an older boy, especially with Stone at his side. He's smarter then most of the other kids too, because he had to be to survive.

You can often find Damion and Stone hanging out in the Ashen Mountain foothills, the only place they both seem to fit in.
