Earth~


Name: Alaura Daluna (Harlequin of Chaos)
Age: Early twenties
Kingdom: Earth
Abilities: Communication; using a strange language which sounds very close to elvish, Alaura can converse with animals. As such, they generally do as she asks of them.
Earth Manipulation; can shift earth, though the more earth there is to shift the harder it becomes and the more strain it is on her.
Plant Manipulation; can create plants simply by placing her hands on a surface (it does not necessarily have to be dirt or soil, though it is harder to create a plant through rock).
Medicine; being one with nature, Alaura is adept when it comes to plants that can be used to make handy medicines. Thus, she usually has a pack on her filled with containers that have in them any number of salves, creams or elixirs. Unlike some earth elementalists,
Character Pic.:

Weaponry: A rather huge sword, which looks too big for a woman of her size to hold (shown in the character pic, behind her body). She also has throwing knives hidden about her body and a double-sided dagger, which she is rather accomplished at using.
Background: Alaura’s people were always a peaceful people. They did what they could to help others, though generally her people stuck to tending to the earth and the forests. When the war broke out, Alaura’s parents went off to help the wounded, using their great knowledge of medicine’s to tend to the injured. Of course, they helped those from both sides, and such kindness cost them their lives. Alaura has no idea who it was that actually killed her parents, all she knows is that she has grown a hatred for the darkness and fire kingdoms, and that she now seeks to stop the war. She has set out, traveling the land and trying to raise support for her cause. She wants to stop this war, no matter how long it takes.

_____________________________________________________________

Name: Arumat Roak [air-uh-mat] (the78thdude)
Age: 40
Kingdom: Earth
Abilities: Holds power over earth. He specializes in shock waves that cause rather large fissures to appear after a bone jarring shake from the ground
Character Pic.:

Weaponry: Having been a soldier for the last 20 years, and training with most types for 30, he's pretty much adept with anything he can get his hands on. From exotic weapons, to a stick on the ground, to his heavily calloused fists. He knows at least 5 ways to incapacitate you with all of them. He prefers his axe, which he has named "Old Reliable"
Background: Arumat was born to a high ranking soldier in the Earth army and his fame-mongering wife. From an early age he was very fun loving and laid back, but as soon as he turned 10 his parents put him on a very strict training schedule. From that point on he was trained to be a soldier of the earth army and nothing else. Being tied down to studying books and swords didn't suit Arumat very well so when he turned 15 he ran from home and wandered the country side for months. With out a copper to his name and no knowledge out side of fighting and book learning he collapsed in a forest. He was found and treated by a woman from a village of peaceful people who lived in the forest. He soon fell in love with the woman who had treated him, and there he stayed for the next 5 years, living a peaceful life without the worries of being the son of a Earth Kingdom soldier. After the 5 years Arumat decided to take his wife and move back to the Earth Kingdom capitol to make a family, but his wife would have none of it. She refused to leave the place she had grown up in. So at the age of 20 Arumat joined the Earth Kingdom forces as a nameless grunt. Over the next 20 years he rose through the ranks until he was an accomplished general. Being the fun loving guy he was a lot of his peers were skeptical about him every time he rose a rank, but none could argue his skills. His strict training and wild personality were a deadly combination. He now leads the Earth Kingdom forces in the ongoing war with the Darkness and Fire kingdoms.

Fire~


Name: Crystal Dalor (Harlequin of Chaos)
Age: Ten
Kingdom: Fire
Abilities: She can control and manipulate lightning and electricity, calling it forth and moving it at will. She has the ability to shape a bolt of lightning into a sword, using it as her weapon. She has a small amount of pyrokinetics, being able to move existing fire but not able to call it from nothing. She needs at least a small spark to make a flame and she can’t always control its movements. She is also telekinetic, able to move objects with her mind. The heavier an object, the harder it is to move. She can’t, at this point, move anything larger than perhaps the size and weight of a grown man, and this is only with great concentration and effort on her part.
Character Pic.:

Weaponry: She can shape a bolt of lightning into a sword, which isn’t all that long due to her own small size. When she isn’t using that, she also has a small dagger.
Background: Crystal grew up without parents to teach her how to survive. Her parents both died from a rather vicious disease. For some odd reason, Crystal managed to survive, though the disease took her eyesight from her. As a child, alone in the world and unable to see, one might have thought life was hard. However, this young girl was only an infant when her parents died. She was taken in by neighbors, but as she grew older it became clear that their kindness was outweighed by their ability to care for the child. The couple already had three children of their own, and they weren’t by any means wealthy. Thus, Crystal made the decision to leave at the young age of six.
She moved on simply to scrounge as best she could, finding ways to keep herself fed and alive for the next four years. Now that war has broken out and most able bodied people are joining the army, Crystal has made the decision to set out and find her place in all of this. She knows only that something of importance is taking place, and her curiosity drives her to discover her place in it all.
_____________________________________________________________

Name: Flint Rathes (Jade Ralden)
Age: 22
Kingdom: Fire
Abilities: Can cause substances to heat up to extremely high temperatures simply by touching them. Also able to call upon the energy of the sun to create an enormous flaming pheonix, but only in dire situations as this uses most of his strength and can be potentially life threatening.
Character Pic:

Weaponry:

Background: Flint spent most of his younger years training to be part of the Fire Kingdom's imperial army. He had honed his skills as a fire user and also with the use of his favored red-bladed sword. He had grown up believing in the Fire Kingdom's good intentions and whatnot, but as he grew he discovered the truth. The ruthlessness hidden behind the curtain of deceit had been revealed to him. He took off running, he got as far away from the fire nation as possible. He eventually came to the door step of the Nation of Water. With a change of clothing he made his way into their gates. It had been 4 years since he left the Fire Kingdom, and now he currently works as a palace guard for the Queen of the Water Kingdom. Very few people know of his past. And only the queen knows of his fire abilities. He recently decided to wear his old fire garments to show everyone that he works for good now.

_____________________________________________________________

Name: Ariya Fenae Sung (Harlequin of Chaos)
Age: Twenty
Kingdom: Fire
Abilities: Able to bend and control fire at will. Can create a flame from nothing. Is a master of different flames (ex: red, blue, white). Has learned to bend lightning through her own body but cannot create it nor truly control it. She can change the temperature of her own body or of her surrounding area but only within a few feet of herself.
Character Pic.:

Weaponry: Ariya carries on her a set of twin sai. She is adept in the use of most blade weapons, though she has always shown a preference for double-handed weapons. She also has a chakram which, conveniently enough, can be one whole circle or can split in two to become to half-circle blades.
Background: Ariya lived a life overshadowed by her younger brother, Ferros. He was deemed a prodigy in fire weilding, leaving his older sister to fight just to be noticed. However, despite his efforts, she was still the first born. It wasn’t common amongst her people for a woman to take leadership without a male at her side, but Ariya showed great potential for taking place in her father’s stead. Ariya is the heir to the Fire Kingdom’s throne, and already at the young age of twenty she shows the determination a ferocity needed to lead such a hot headed land. However, she has had to fight her way there all her life, working hard to show that though her brother may have been a prodigy, he was never fit to rule. His death by the hands of the resistance, which has come to her attention swiftly, comes to no shock. In Ariya’s eyes her brother was always foolheardy, swift to act but slow to think. Ariya has, despite her slight resentment towards her sibling, set out to avenge his death upon her father’s wishes.
When Ariya was younger she found a wolf cub. Not far from the cub she found a panther cub as well. Upon further inspection the girl found the dead bodies of both the cubs’ mothers. It appeared the two had crossed paths and fought, killing one another. The cubs, still too young to truly comprehend, were taken in by the girl. Haku, the now grown wolf, and Freiya (Fray-ah), the now grown panther, can be found almost constantly at their mistress’ side. These tempermental beasts (seen in the above picture) are rather testy, like their princess.

Kingdom: Darkness
Abilities: Illusion
Character Pic:

Weaponry:

Background: Seth was born on the outskirts of the kingdom of darkness. During his father's teachings of the efficient use of his powers, Seth took a deep interest in those pertaining to illusion. As he grew, so did his ability. Seth's uncle was the former general of the army that protected and served the kingdom, so it was only a matter of time before he was enlisted. The current general saw his abilities in action during training, and soon took an interest in him; thinking that his mastery of illusion would be quite handy. His first assignment for the special forces was given to him, and he left the kingdom of darkness heading towards the Knorthian forests.

When first she fell in love she was only 14 or 15... and was hopelessly drawn to Seth... but she was separated from him when he went off to fight against his own kingdom, swearing he'd come back for her. That as well made her leave in order to find him and make sure he was still alive.

Character Pic:

Background: Nicki’s past isn’t well known since she never speaks of it. However, there is much that is rumored of her past. It is believed that she is a demon, if not the ‘Lord of Darkness’ or perhaps his spawn. Her purely evil ways and her great skill in both combat and shadow control brought her to the attention of the King of the Dark Kingdom. Actually, she walked straight up to him, through even the most elite of the soldiers under his command without even a scratch on her. She was given the command of an Elite Squad that carries out the most secret of missions, though often times she will head off on her own, preferring to work solo. With her beast, Fear, she is a force that few wish to cross paths with.

Name: Fear (Harlequin of Chaos)
Age: Unknown
Kingdom: Dark
Abilities: Breathes fire from the dragon heads. The cougar head and breathe a poisonous gas that spreads rapidly to the surrounding area, which the other two heads are immune to, but this is rarely done, if ever, and usually only upon the command of the beast's master.
Character Pic:

Weaponry: Only what is on his own body. {Talons, tail, spikes, teeth, etc.}
Background: Not much is known of the beast, Fear. He simply appeared long ago with the dark woman, Nicki. Wherever he is one is sure to find his cruel master not far away. Fear is a beast of intelligent thought, despite how vicious he is. Few realize that he is a thinking being, due to his animalistic nature. He kills without remorse. The only person capable of controlling this malicious creature is the even crueler master. It is believed that both beast and master come from the very depths of hell to spread chaos and panic throughout the world.

Age: 37
Kingdom: Dark
Abilities: (Rarely uses)Telepathy
Character Pic:

Weaponry:

Background: Adel is the ruler of the kingdom of darkness. Many fear him, but few have ever actually seen him. As a child he knew he was destined to do great things. He took it upon himself, once he became the ruler of the kingdom, to spread his kingdom across all of the lands. He is relaxed and usually carefree until he is angered, then you better hope you’re not in the area. He rarely uses his telepathic power as he has never been challenged for his throne or attacked by any outsiders. He demands little, but challenge those demands and you will be lucky to see another day.

Character Pic:

Weaponry: Whip
Background: Two children, a pair of twins, born from a harmonious couple of conflicting elements. Mommy and Daddy's little Angel and Devil of Doom. When the world still lived in a time of peace, where it was still only just a little bit unusual to see a Light Male wed a Dark Woman, Dia and her twin sister were born with the respective gifts of their mother and father. While her sister could simply belt out whatever she wanted to, Dia had always remained a little bit reserved and withdrawn. Even though she held no particular hostility for her family, she'd never really felt as if she belonded and when the war rolled around, Dia defected to the dark side. Her family never blamed her and she'd never felt more at home. Become a personal entertainer for the dark King Adel, Dia stands fiercly loal to the man not out of fear simply because she can. With a taste for taunting and playing with other people's tempers, Dia is also part of the king's unit of elites whom he can dispatch for just about any task he wants done, although she mostly just wanders around here and there.

Name: Ninton Strype (Sheraedan)
Age: 22
Kingdom: Darkness
Abilities: Can turn a single arrow into up to seven shadow arrows.
Can actively camouflage himself in shadows, becoming nearly invisible, but it fades when he moves.
Has an intimate knowledge of the human anatomy.
Character Pic:

Weaponry: An iron flat bow crafted in the shape of large bat-like wings, two long knives, and a number of throwing needles hidden in his armor.
Background: As a child, his father was lost to the hardships of living, and his mother took ill. For several months, he watched his mother waste away before she died. He was heartbroken. He was forced to live on the streets, with no living family, and no friends to speak of. He was caught stealing and using his natural shadow stepping talent by a mysterious traveler in a large cloak. The stranger took pity on the poor boy, and saw promise in his abilities, and thus become the boy's mentor. The traveler took the boy to a secret enclave hidden far from society, and explained that he was a member of a secret Order that worked from behind the scenes to save the world from destruction. He gave the boy a choice, to take on the training of the Order, or be returned to living on the streets in some Dark kingdom town.The boy, naturally, accepted the offer. He was trained, day and night, to fight, ride, and use his abilities. He was a prodigy, the instructors would say. To years after joining the Order, he was gifted with a tiger cub for his birthday. It was explained that the tiger would grow far larger than most, large enough to be ridden. The boy raised the tiger, and they grew close. When the boy became a man, he proved himself to be one of the greatest marksmen the Order had ever seen, and his ability to vanish without a trace proved overwhelming to all his rivals. He left the enclave to begin his quest. He watched the brewing war, and was shocked when it broke loose, and how much tumult it caused. When he reported on his findings, he was ordered to aid the small resistance force in every way he could. He followed them for some time before determining he could no longer aid them from the shadows, and had to make his presence known to them.

Name: Aspect (Sheraedan)
Age: 13
Kingdom: None... it's a tiger.
Abilities: None... it's a tiger.
Character Pic:

Weaponry: Claws and teeth. It's a tiger.
Background: Aspect was raised by a young boy who took very good care of him. The boy often seemed sad and distant, but Aspect always tried to cheer him up. There were others who always made Aspect and his boy do things they couldn't do, but always the pair triumphed in the end. The boy never complained about what he was told to do, but when Aspect became bigger than the other people, he began to complain for the boy. One day, the boy had to fight a number of other people who Aspect remembered seeing all his life. After the fight, Aspect was tired, but the other people seemed to be talking to the boy rather excitedly. Aspect did not know what they were saying, but the boy seemed happy. That night, the boy packed all of his things, and they left their home early the next morning. They wandered around for along time. Alot of people started fighting, and the boy seemed worried about it. They went back home, and the other people told the boy to do something, and the pair left again. They followed a small group of people for awhile, but the boy seemed restless, the people got into a few fights, and the boy seemed to want to help them. Aspect agreed.

Name: Vincent LaChance (Clutch 45)
Age: 35
Kingdom: Dark
Abilities: Is capable of casting any illusions that his mind can imagine, and can change his solid form into a whisp-like shadow.
Character Pic: None as of yet
Weaponry: A long sword, two curved blades for attacking while mounted, a short sword, three daggers, two miniature knives concealed in his boots, an array of very small throwing knives, and a leather pouch containing several smoke bombs for creating chaos and confusion or concealing escape.
Background: Vincent hates life. In general. His own being no exception. He was born under most unhappy of circumstances. Complications during childbirth caused Vincent to sustain a small amount of brain damage, as well as the death of his mother. Leaving the boy with only his father. His father. A man who felt that a few sharp lashes on the back was spoiling the stupid boy. A man who couldn’t understand why Vinny, as he called him, couldn’t seem to figure things out like everyone else.
A man that decided to use his old tools from the work shed to take out this frustration on his son. As Vincent grew older, he took to hiding under his bedroom floor, and sometimes he would stay there for days on end. His father never seemed to notice--that is, until he came back out. It was the same every time. The same lecture, the same guilty look on his own face, the same smell of utter rage coming from his father.
The same beating.
It was on a warm summer night that it happened. Vincent had been in hiding for over a week, and could take the pain of it no more. He emerged desperate for food, dry skin pulled taught across bones, filthy and bleeding. His father’s fury was all consuming. He dragged the boy into the work shed and tossed the frail body to the floor as he chose which blunt object to “discipline” his son with. When he turned and saw Vincent trembling and sobbing in fear, he flew into a new rage, and disowned him for being weak. As the old man pummeled him, something in him snapped. No longer his son, he thought. No longer my father…
The next thing he knew, he was kneeling on the old man’s back, the handle end of a hammer protruding from between his former father’s shoulder blades- the hammer itself imbedded inside the now limp body.
Then, he ran. He ran until he found himself at the door of the barracks, and collapsed. Some of the soldiers took him in, brought him out of his stupor-with some difficulty-and set upon the task of training him. He had the look of one who could handle death. He spent the next twenty four years training under the dark soldiers, learning to master his power and honing his skills. He now marches within the ranks of the Dark Kingdom’s vast army.
