Custom Contest Entry
I'm totally entering to be random, and hopefully make people giggle =D Feel free to use mine to help you guys put together your own entries, just don't use my actual ideas. <3
Name: Ix Age: 17 Preferred Element: Actually obtained? Water. He's striving to raise dragons based around sound and it's relating elements however. Why they joined the Order: TO PARTY 8D. Ahem. To gain access to dragons and further his studies. Brief Appearance: Ix resembles someone out of their element. While his clothes have the potential to mark him a nobleman, they're usually wrinkled and put on haphazardly. The sleeves of his shirt are usually rolled up, and a vest is worn over that. Some might question the goggles worn on his head or around his neck, but once you've been around him and his 'experiments' enough you'll see they're very handy to have. Green spikey hair tops his head. It's actually naturally black, but a certain failed experiment turned it green and the odd mage decided he liked it that way. Now, when it starts to grow out too much, he repeats the failure to dye it once more. Ix is often seen with his guitar, either at his side or strapped across his back. Brief Personality: Twitchy and obnoxious. So many explosions have perhaps fried a good deal of the working braincells Ix once had, and has reduced him to a rather twitchy mess. He's almost always doing something with his hands, whether it be waving them in the air or merely fidgeting around. Despite this, Ix loves to get out and meet new people and their dragons. He really means the best, but one has to get past his arrogant behavior to see it. Often you could almost swear he existed purely to annoy people... Brief History: As a child, Ix showed an early interest in the dragons wandering the city, as well as music. Imagine a child that constantly loved to bang on pots and pans to make 'songs'? Pleasant, isn't it? Fast forward years later. Ix entered training, and soon met up with his longtime vict---friend, Raelan. The odd mage tormented his new friend all the way through school, even going so far as to room with him. Now, even after they have passed their tests and entered the Order, the two live together. Whether it be to save money, Raelan's morbid curiosity in just what Ix could do to himself next, or out of a sense of need to take 'care' of each other, the two enjoy living together....I think. Occupation: Breedery Assistant. He helps take care of the eggs, and in turn uses the opportunity to experiment with how sound and different types of music affects developing dragons. Strengths: Music. This mage can certainly play. He also has a certain knack for causing trouble and making random things (especially -important- things) explode. Weaknesses: Ix has a hard time thinking things through logically. While his roommate can ponder over a problem, Ix would rather rush in and deal with the (usually explosive) consequences later. He can be rather insightful, when provoked, but more often than not one will view him as foolish. Anything Else: Ix demands your love, or you might find certain documents missing ;D

Name: Naoise Usnech Age: Currently 31 Preferred Element: No preferred element (though he has an obsession with time and also wishes to study a wind affinity to compare it to Eve's sky affinity) Why they joined the Order: Simply to learn. Naoise is one of those types that truly only seeks knowlege. Brief Appearance: Pretty much average looking. He has brown hair thats untidy and is lucky to get a few swipes with a brush every couple of days, much like his beard which gets shaved every once in a while. His eyes are hazel, the only real standoutish feature about him. As far as clothing goes whenever he needs something he goes out and buys the first thing that he sees and then wears it until the color is faded and the cloth is worn out. He gives off the eccentric genius vibe. Brief Personality: Naoise's a fairly nice guy who really doesn't want to cause problems. However, due to his lack of human interaction he can make things awkward or upsetting unintentionally. He often forgets to take care of himself and has to be constantly reminded by his dragons to perform basic tasks, like feeding himself. His real quirk is time. He is obsessed with time because he feels as if he doesn't have enough of it. He rushes through everything, even telling Eve as she hatched to hurry up because he was wasting time. Brief History: At age 11 Naoise began studying and six years later at at 17 he passed his test to enter the Order. He could have entered earlier but he wasted time on research projects along the way. At age 17 he got his first dragon egg, and out came Eve, a sky affinity. She is the one in charge of making him take care of himself and may feel more like he's her child than anything. About eight years later he obtained another egg, and from that hatching he got Senoy, a fruit affinity. She's the one who adds a bit of a healthy distraction with her slightly mischevious nature. Currently he lives by himself in what used to be an inn in one of the poorer sections of town. Occupation: Researcher, he typically researches whatever he chooses though he takes on projects for the Order. His current project is training his apprentice, Diedre Ulster, that the Order sent him. Strengths: He is able to concentrate on anything at anytime blocking out unneccesary noises. He has an amazing memory in which to store his vast knowledge. Weaknesses: He's forgetful and has bad people skills. He isn't particularly strong at actually performing magic and mainly only uses small spells to make living easier. Anything Else: Naoise's about to go through some changes, particularly in his people skills as he will be forced to actually interact with someone on a regular basis. This poor wizard is under the impression that he has been promised another dragon if he takes on this new apprentice.

Name: Jaxom Age: 43 Preferred Element: Time Why they joined the Order: He originally wasn't going to join the Order (lacking almost all magical abilities) but was given a chance when a teacher recommended him for having exceptional fundamental knowledge of magic. Brief Appearance: He's a tall grizzled and generally dignified middle-aged man. He generally has a patch over his left eye thanks to an injury which blinded him. His hair used to be black before he started to age and his one eye left is bright green in color (the other is a foggy blue but only a hand full of people have ever seen it). He generally wears soft leather pants with a solid color tunic over it. His hair is usually braided unless he's been drug out of bed early and he only bothers to pull it back into a loose tail. Brief Personality: He's a grumpy antisocial b*****d. That's about it. Brief History: He trained at the University from a young age even though he wasn't all that adept at magic. He met his best friend there, who excelled at healing magic, and the two quickly decided that was the field they'd go into. Jaxom could make potions of every sort with the best of them so opening an apothecary seemed like the obvious answer. His friend was diagnosed with a terminal disease just as Jaxom graduated the University. Instead of curing it they both decided they'd enjoy their dreams and life as they had left of it. Jaxom's friend died a year after they opened the shop and he's kept going since then refusing to give up on what they'd built together. Occupation: Apothecary Strengths: He can make almost anything chemical in nature. His major talent is being able to reverse magical ailments/afflictions with non magical means. Weaknesses: He is blind in one eye and lacks good peripheral vision and depth perception. He doesn't like being in crowds because of this. He also fails at almost everything magical if it involves doing it himself. Anything Else: Keep hyper dragons and anything under 30 away from him.

Name: Crisiant Eirlys Age: 23 Preferred Element: Legend Why they joined the Order: As soon as they thought she was old enough to take care of herself, Crisiant's parents shuffled her off to Dorhaven to study magic, hoping that this might be another way to draw in some money – having some misconceptions about how well wizards were generally paid. Obviously, they were disappointed by how it turned out, but they were fairly well off to begin with and do not begrudge Crisiant enough money to live comfortably. Once in Dorhaven, Crisiant herself became fascinated with magic and the possibilities therein and had no difficulty in seeing her studies through. Brief Appearance: Crisiant is statuesque at about five-foot-ten, with pale skin and long dark hair, usually worn piled atop her head and secured with ribbons. She has strange eyes, mostly green but flecked with gold, blue, and purple, almost peacock-like. Her voice is a slow, dark alto, lending her a mysterious quality. Crisiant wears a variety of silk robes inspired by the many cultures she has encountered in her travels to other countries, and during performances she wears an elegant feathered mask in the form of a mockingbird. Brief Personality: Gentle and caring, but almost painfully shy in the company of other humans, hence wearing a mask while performing and living in relative seclusion otherwise. She's most comfortable in the presence of only her dragons. During her travels, she did her best to blend in with the locals, intending only to observe and not wanting to draw attention to herself. Brief History: Crisiant's wizarding studies began when she was thirteen years old and continued for six years. She gained full entry into the Order of Wizards and her first dragon egg at the age of nineteen. Soon after she began traveling to various countries, discovered a love of storytelling in the Middle East, and returned to Dorhaven to practice the craft. Occupation: Crisiant is a musician and a storyteller, traveling the streets of Dorhaven on certain days to perform on street corners, in parks, anywhere she can draw a crowd. The stories she tells are alternately prose, poetry, and song, sometimes a combination of two or all three. She is accompanied by an instrument that is a hodgepodge of flutelike pipes and chimes, all controlled by breezes she summons with air magic. Light magic allows her to call up images to illustrate her stories, and air magic to produce atmospheric effects. Strengths: Magic-wise, light and air magic – she's able to produce illusions and some small weather effects. She has a good singing voice and musical ear, and a talent for storytelling, though the stories themselves are generally drawn from the mythology and folklore of various places. Weaknesses: Magic-wise, darkness and earth magic. Her almost painful shyness causes her to have little in the way of normal human contact outside of those few she is already familiar with and close to, and those who make the effort to move slowly in getting to know her. Hence, she is not usually particularly well-informed about what's going on in the world. Even with those she knows, Crisiant will rarely initiate contact or conversation and is deferential to a fault, easily walked all over. Anything Else: Crisiant has a rather large and disordered collection of books of fairytales, mythology, and the like, and is always looking for more.

Name: Jasmine Callanthe Age: 18 Preferred Element: She doesn't prefer one specific element, like water or fire - she prefers emotional affinities. Her two dragons have affinities to sorrow and happiness, respectively. Why she joined the Order: She has always loved the idea of being a wizard and spending time with dragons ever since she was little, and she believes her area of study will aid dragons and their owners throughout Dorhaven. Being in the Order has enabled her to further expand her knowledge. Brief Appearance: She has mid-back length chestnut hair, though her bangs have been permanently dyed a bright pink due to a failed experiment. She always wears goggles that sit atop her head, and she should have learned by now they work better over her eyes, but a charred face or three isn't enough to make her re-position them. She's normally seen wearing a white shirt, sleeves or no, a comfortable pair of jeans, and whatever shoes she can find. Brief Personality: Bubbly, happy, one of those 'without a care in the world' type of people. She has endless ways to amuse herself. It may seem like she has a horrible short-term memory, as well; someone can tell her something and she won't remember it not five minutes later. This is more because what someone wants her to remember, if she doesn't think it important, it isn't worth remembering. When she isn't studying or working, she's taking a stroll around town with her dragons, annoying meeting others and their dragons. Which is a wonderful opportunity to hand out free samples of her specially-made dragon food, usually filled with interesting flavors. Brief History: She comes from a small, unheard of family that lives a little ways outside the city's borders. Her parents were nice enough, encouraging her to always ask questions and to do what she enjoys. That might have at least partially helped to sculp her attitude towards certain things now - if she doesn't enjoy it, she won't even acknowledge its existence. Occupation: Jas specializes in dragon nutrition and loves it. She enjoys making all kinds of food for dragons in all kinds of flavors. Though she means well, they more often than not don't enjoy her... interesting choice in flavors. Strengths: One of her strengths is her vast knowledge of dragon nutrition. Another is her work ethic and ability to ignore any and all distractions (except a hungry dragon; those kinds of distractions are hard to ignore) while studying or working. Weaknesses: She has the attention span of a gnat. If someone or something isn't interesting, it isn't worth paying attention to. She also, though a wizard, has horrible skills with her magic. She usually only performs a few simple, easy spells. Anything harder than that and something inevitably blows up, or ends up very charred. Anything Else: If she likes you, you will be her best friend whether you like it or not. 8D

Name: Litoni Age: 19 Preferred Element: Fire Why they joined the Order: To study, although escaping her parents was certainly a consideration. Brief Appearance: Litoni is thin and wiry, and still often mistaken for a boy at first glance. Her boyish clothing in charcoal grey doesn't help the matter, either. She has a splattering of freckles on her face, mostly concentrated around her nose and eyes. Her dark red is hair is medium length, kept cut to just past her shoulders for ease of maintenence, as well as less interference with whatever she's working on. Her golden green eyes are bright and happy, and easily reflect her emotions. Brief Personality: The younger of a fraternal set of twins, Litoni is quieter and less outgoing than her brother Satior, but manages to be sneakier and more inclined to rely on her charm to get her out of trouble. Smart, with an excellent memory for locations, Litoni spent as much time as she could outside of her parent's house. She doesn't like being alone, and can be a little clingy towards her brother. Brief History: Litoni and her twin Satior are the only children of middlingly prosperous merchants. Her brother showed an early aptitude for the family business, and has been apprenticed to their father for a few years. Litoni, on the other hand, was always bored silly by all of the shop-talk her relations engaged in at nearly all times, and preferred to escape and roam the streets of her hometown. Having expressed an interest in studying at Dorhaven, after discovering a minor affinity for magic, she has only been enrolled for a year or so, as her parents hoped she'd stay with them. Occupation: Student/Part-Time Cook Strengths: Litoni has an excellent memory, especially in regards to locations, either for buildings or items. Weaknesses: Clingy and dependent, Litoni gets really attached to people, even if they don't really like her. This is probably why she doesn't have many friends. Anything Else: Litoni enjoys cooking, and is quite good at it, although she still burns things every once in a while.

Name: Viorel Thanh Age: 25 Preferred Element: Anything having to do with water or power, (i.e; snow, storm, sea, destruction, war, supremacy). Why they joined the Order: To one day become as successful as his father. Appearance: The wizard is always dressed handsomely and well kept, his blue coin bag filled with his father’s funding. Viorel dresses in rich blues and crisp white robes, cloaks, and tunics, and a pair of polished black knee-length boots, all specially tailored to his slender body by the family seamstress. A silver chain hangs around his thin neck with a large and radiant crystal shard dangling from it, and a silver ring, with three diamonds fashioned elegantly into the likeness of a crown, sits snugly on his index finger. Startlingly black hair - cut to just above the shoulders at the back and with mid-neck length ‘ear tails’ and bangs - frames his pale, androgynous face and often hides a pair of bright bluish-grey eyes, set in an upwards slant. He walks with unparalleled dignity, often appearing disgusted and rarely amused, and isn’t quite used to the slower-paced, traditional life of Dorhaven as opposed to his booming hometown. Brief Personality: He is extremely superficial and materialistic, often judging people on first glance and noting in them only their apparent (useful) abilities. He is determined and undeterred by his social responsibilities, often neglecting his family and friends (minions, or pawns) in favor of whatever he finds fun in that moment, or whatever mood he’s in. He tries to secure relationships with his witty comments and showing off, though this rarely makes him any friends, and for that, he shuns most people and believes them ‘a waste of effort’, owing also in part to his well-developed superiority complex. Though he may seem a bigot or just downright mean, he has a noticeable soft spot for dragons (especially his own) and a certain need to be accepted amongst his peers. Brief History: The middle son of five brothers, he was ushered among them into a life of grand galas and enormously successful dragon breeding at an early age. Schooled by his erudite father, education came first, and along with his elder brothers, he learned all he could in preparation to someday go to the Order and come back rich and famous, like his father had done. While his brothers preferred to spend their time in the dragon stalls and had no intention on leaving for the Order, Viorel was often found with his nose in a book or over a beaker, taking his education into his own hands. As his siblings showed extraordinary prowess in breeding, his father’s attention was wrenched away from him, and he was left to grow up feeling neglected and brooding over how he would one day ‘show them all.’ Fortunately for him, his father noticed this and has been trying to help him by sending him to the Order and paying for his stay in Dorhaven. Viorel graduated from the Order four years ago at the age of 21 and received his first egg, a snow and prism affinity he named Tuyet. He adores her over everything else, and frequently fusses over her in spite of her motherly protests. Occupation: Biogenetic researcher. Strengths: He takes pride in his magical skill (his particular strength lies in hydro-manipulation) and his knowledge in the way of the sciences, specifically chemistry, biology, and genetics. Weaknesses: He is manipulative and rude, and doesn’t have many friends. The relationships he does maintain are purely for his personal gain, and he will pass up any venture if he doesn’t see the immediate profit in it. He also has a strong eye for detail and beauty, though tends to overlook the subtleties and ignore implications that are not readily available. Anything Else: The way to Viorel’s heart is shiny, unique, or exceptionally tasty.

Name: Nerida Age: 16 Preferred Element: Water, Poison Why they joined the Order: She grew bored of the schools her parents had been sending her to as they weren't challenging at all. So she joined the Order in hopes of being able to do challenging work and to learn as much as she could. Brief Appearance: Nerida is about average height and quite thin. Her purple hair is almost always put up in a bun on top of her head. Sunglasses always sit upon her nose not quite covering all of her bright blue eyes. Part of the year she becomes quite red as her pale skin attracts the sun in the not so nice way. She never goes out in public looking untidy. Brief Personality: One of the biggest things about Nerida is that she is into fashion and anything to do with the color purple. Keeping up with the newest fashion styles is her hobby but it doesn't keep her from being a hard-working student. She is a very random person and goes from talking about something to something on a completely different topic in just a matter of seconds. She loves to go out and have fun as well as study and do research projects. Brief History: Nerida comes from a very rich and fashionable family. She went to many schools where she quickly flew through the levels with flying colors. Growing bored with these schools her parents kept sending her to she decided to try to get into this place known as the Order that she had heard about. Working with dragons seems like just the challenge she needed. At the age of 15 she took the test and passed gaining admittance into the Order. Occupation: Student/Poison and Water Researcher Strengths: Her strengths are her ability to learn quickly, taste in fashion, and able to keep a positive attitude about things. Weaknesses: With her getting bored easily she tries to do to many things at once. Which usually results in her running around like a chicken with it's head cut off trying to get everything done on time. When it comes to water she is afraid of it. Water fascinates her but it also scares her so doing experiments and research where she has to work with water she can't help but freak just a little. Anything Else: When it comes to working with water she tries to get over her phobia of water by dressing up in a swimsuit (fashionable swimsuit mind you) or a bikini top and shorts so if water lands on her it has more skin area to touch. Though seeing as she hasn't gotten over her phobia of water yet everytime some drops on her she can't help but scream.

Name: Salerni D'Aubin Age: 25 Preferred Element: Water Why they joined the Order: Salerni has been fascinated with magic all his life; when he discovered that he had the aptitude, he jumped at the chance to join the Order and make it his life's work. Brief Appearance: Plain, neither tall nor short, and skinny but with a potbelly. He has prematurely grey hair (it runs in the family) and grey eyes. He wears loose, practical clothing, has goggles to protect his eyes in his laboratory, and carries a staff to compensate for a weak knee. Brief Personality: Absentminded and scatterbrained, though he can focus intently on one thing at a time. His quarters and lab are almost always a mess. He loves to read, study, and debate; he is a bit socially inept, and doesn't really realize he comes across as abrupt and rude at times. He has a deep affection for animals and a great love for dragons of all types. Brief History: Salerni comes from a large and close-knit merchant family; he has never quite fit in, though his family loves him and he loves them in return. His father was relieved when he showed an aptitude for magic as a teenager, as it meant that instead of the business that he had no head for, Salerni could be sent to Dorhaven to pursue courses of study that he would truly enjoy. Occupation: Potions maker and researcher Strengths: Intense focus on interesting subjects, good memory for trivial details, always willing and eager to learn Weaknesses: Terribly absentminded, gleefully argumentative, unintentionally rude Anything Else: Salerni is an excellent cook and draws fine and detailed studies of natural objects. However, he cooks on the lab burners and often loses his sketches in the drifts of vellum that cover his workspace.

Name: Lucy in the Sky Age: 19 Preferred Element: gasoline, oil, or evaporation Why she joined the Order/ Occupation/ History/ Appearence: A traveling magician for the first, well, 19 years of her life, Lucy was born into a family of gypsies. She started out with small card tricks around the age of five, amusing passerbies with her young cuteness more than her amazing ability to summon the ace of spades. It got to a point where she literally could make the card appear, out of thin air. Her gypsy parents were proud, but not impressed. She could do more, and at her current age Lucy has mastered the magic of transporting objects within a fifty foot radius around her, to anywhere else in the diameter. The traveling carts she called home have now dispersed, or been sold to antique dealers, as the family has either passed on, or choose different life paths than the gypsy ways. She has the only remaing green, purple, and gold cart. Now Lucy lives and travels on her own. With no family to help support her… life choice, Lucy has to work hard to keep herself fed. It’s hard, lonely, work. The odd jobs she gets moving from town to town are ussualy low paying waitressing, or cleaning. If she had a companion to support and keep her company, she could get back into the magic entertainment business. The M.E.B kept her well fed, warm, and happy. All she needs is a magical muse to inspire her, and share her single colorful room on wheels with. Brief Personality: A reserved girl, Lucy hates wearing her heart on her sleeve for people she doesn’t love. She also hates gossiping, and people who do. She just wants to live her life, and look on the positive side of things. Brief Appearance: Lu has passionately pink hair, which she believes she derives her vigor from. To keep her muse satisfied, Lucy keeps a flower, or tiara, hair band, or comb with her hair always. She loves bright comfortable clothes, and has tribal tattoos representing her past gypsy family. Strengths: Lucy speaks her mind, and works heard as an entertainer, and a good person, to keep everyone around her smiling. Weaknesses: She doesn’t handle criticism about her life style well, although is always willing to tweak her habits to act less annoying, or be not so loud, as she was often shunned for back with the M.E.B. family. Anything Else: Her bond with the colors of gasoline and oil is what first caused her to fall in love with the hues and shades of the world around her, and be able to derive happiness from them. Its what brought her to dye her hair pink, and what kept her fitting in oh so well in the colorful gypsy way of life. The spiritual color swirls of gasoline and oil is what caused to find an interest in performing magic.
