~Prologue~ Dear reader,
This introduction marks a very important first step for me into the world of the breedable and changeable pets. I have really never gotten too involved in this realm of the forums, and for me, this is an experiment to see how much I like it. I'll be keeping a daily RP log of what happens, as well as possibly a little OOC excerpt once in awhile. Perhaps, through the reading of my journal, you'll be able to determine for yourself whether or not you should attempt a project like this yourself.
I suppose it is easier for me though to get involved with the Raevans, simply because I know Kyou somewhat from art he has done for me before on my OC Alexi. It was a great internal debate, of course, whether or not I should give up Minis (and thus 10 million of my Halo offer) to autobuy the Auction for the first custom breedable.
However, I do feel that it will be worth it. I will be getting very fine quality art, based on my main character Kalec, on his real form - the finalized form that I have determined will be his likeness from here on out. I will be able to see him progress, which adds to the excitement of it all. Finally, I'll be able to RP with a good many great people again and flex my wings, literally and figuratively, with my own style of RP. I'll be able to refine my thoughts, help develop some of my ideas, and all in all have a great time.
Time will tell whether or not this experiment was worth the cost. I hope that you as the reader enjoy reading this journal. I do intend on making it quite interesting, and including RP in and outside of the thread's main RP, possibly with some of my own characters. You will be able to see my own storyline at work as well as see how I can RP in the Raevan setting and adapt to it.
Through this journal, I hope to enlighten you on the inner workings of my mind, and introduce you more closely to the characters in my thoughts that you know right now as mere avatars.
~Oliver

Other Characters! ~Before we begin - Key Terms and Notes~ Since my story is different from most any storyline you might have come across, and because it is a personal storyline that I formulated with a real life friend long ago and have since changed a bit myself, there are terms that I may use that may confuse you. I will list them here in case you need a reference, but I can definitely answer you in greater detail or try to explain better in the thread if you just ask me. ^^
I may also refer to Kalec sometimes in a way that isn't the Raevan Kalec, but is instead the Kalec in my previous storyline leading up to this event. I will occasionally have flashbacks that detail his history so you can get some background on him. The character profile here will represent this "past" Kalec. Not the Raevan one. I'll make a Raevan personality profile when I receive the Raevan and come to terms with how his personality will work.
Transhuman - Transhumans are a race of, in essence, the next step in evolution of humans, created not naturally but through many technological implants, gene manipulations, and experimentations as well as combining of human DNA with alien DNA.
In the storyline, their creation occured several thousand years ago, and the story at this point is in the middle of the Transhuman Wars, where the inevitable collision of extremely powerful entities caused massive destruction. Later in the story, Transhumans would wind up being a more civilized society. However, it is pretty much chaos at this stage, with the small group of people who are the heroes of the story trying to restore order and create a more orderly society.
The 4 species of Transhumans - There are 4 major species or "purebreeds" of transhumans. The Koorian, Authian, Drakien, and Rathien, named after the species of alien reptile that was genetically combined into these people.
Koorian are the air-based race, generally slighter and with powers in the divine or wind and air. Speed is their best trait, and they generally are pretty strong in air combat, even hand-to-hand. Since many organisms need air to breathe, or a spark of life to live, Koorian can have a lot of power over regular beings. Typically nicknamed Angels, they can be a very proud but seductive race, but unlike their name, many Koorian are prone to doing evil deeds in the name of power.
Authien are the water-based race, generally more at home there than anywhere else. With power over liquids, they can be a devastating enemy, and control many different properties of liquids at will. Since other organisms have a lot of liquid, having an Authien touch you could mean death. Typically referred to as Seaserpents. Generally they have a slow methodical way of thinking and are not quick to anger though.
Rathien are the rock or fire based race, they are most often alluded to as Dragons. Fiery tempers usually come with the genes, but so does speed as well as physical domination over most other species on the ground level. The ability to manipulate metals, minerals, and all sorts of kinetics make this race formidable on the battlefield even if they aren't the best diplomats.
Drakien are the dark race, and while they are nicknamed demons and have dark and demonic powers and are good at killing, they are seldom the type to fall prey to evil deeds for the sake of personal ventures and power, unlike the Koorian. Their actions are almost always for a good reason, and living in the dark doesn't stop them from being some of the most innovative designers and scientists in Transhuman society. It is this fact that will eventually make them flip the tables and establish a foothold as the new elite class in the future stable society.
Tolarkien - The aliens that were combined with humans to make the original Transhumans. They also have similar species and breeds like the Transhumans do, but they communicate completely through telepathic methods. They are also very conniving and deceptive, their objective to improve their gene pool and create a race that can eventually defeat their enemies in higher space, who had banished their predecessors to the material realm. Their look is reptilian, and their individual species varies in looks widely. Best I can describe is that Koorian look like armored and reptilian birds, Authien are much like sea serpents, Rathien are like raptors or dragons depending on size and particular variation in genes, and drakien are mainly underground, armored-canine-looking entities that have dark armored plated skin, and glowing white eyes.
The Hatred - The Hatred is the nickname for an emotional and mental state where the Transhuman loses all remnant of human emotion and morals and everything else and just goes into killing mode - usually triggers initially upon a traumatic event, and gets easier to trigger on command as the Transhuman learns his or her own powers. In this trance state, powers are elevated and higher levels of it and more complex manipulations can occur - full-blown Hatred can be absolutely devastating to the environment around as well though, in addition to harming members of the same team. Control of Hatred is an absolute must, and is taught from birth, though some like Lindin have yet to have complete mastery over it. Rathien tend to go into a berzerking Hatred more easily than other species. ______________________________________ Character: Alexi Jameson General Information
Gender: Female
Race: Drakien/Koorian transhuman
Hair color: Silver
Hair length: Long and straight, down to small of her back.
Eye color: An unyielding ice blue.
True age: A few thousand years.
Visual age: 25
Main Weapons: Silver buster sword, shaped as in examples.
Specialty: Mixture of shadow, air, and divine arts as well as physical combat.
Outfit: Armor she wears is generally slightly revealing, in provocative places. Her horns aren't a part of the armor, they're a part of her body. She may or may not wear the sunglass-like data-visor, depending on if she's in battle or not. When not in combat armor, she dresses in heels and flowing dresses, equally revealing and provocative as her armor but more femininely so. She almost always wears gloves, and prefers black, gold and white clothes to any other clothes available, keeping to elegance.
Identifying Marks: One look at Alexi can identify her, but there are a few things that are specific that I want to bring up. First is the double-cross icon. This is a symbol that Alexi uses everywhere, she has a tattoo on her chest between her breasts that symbolizes the double-cross that her fiance wreaked on her family. Double-cross tattoos on both upper arms as well. In general, if she's wearing some sort of headgear, she'll put one on there as well, or on a buckle, or on something subtle like a bracelet. Alexi has thin horns that reach up and hold a silver Halo between them, which is a little tilted, as if it isn't quite held up completely. The halo hovers I guess I should say, it doesn't in any way touch the horns. Also Alexi has a set of angelic and a set of demonic wings, angelic on top of the demonic. The Angelic backwings in battle look more like blades, and the feathers can be used as weapons. The dead-looking demonic wings are still functional, even though they don't look alive.
More description/background/histories
The original Alexi was the head of Jameson Corporations, one of a group of large corporations that headed the Terran worlds. She was involved with Jonathan Starr, who fell in love with her fiery yet seductive attitudes, and her will to conquer a business world which was traditionally dominated by ruthless men. Because of her involvement with Jonathan Starr and her prowess, smarts, and physical fitness however, she was targetted by the Tolarkien early on to be one of the elites that would be created once transhuman-development was perfected. Without his knowledge, she was transformed in the production stages of the Starr Enterprise army into the Authien transhuman, Divinity-class - that is, a class of transhuman that had mastery and abilities in holy energy.
Reborn with a sense of superiority even over the other transhumans, the Divinity class or Angels as they were widely known as, formed their own society where no other species could go - other species eventually followed suit, retreating to those who had similarities to themselves after the exodus occured. The Divinity class especially hated most of the Drakien, who they viewed as mere mutts or horrors, the experiments that went wrong which had to occur in order for true purity to be created.
This would have been the case with Alexi's view on the world as well, until her wedding day. It was on this day that she discovered that the Divinity-class had their own evils, and that they were not in fact perfect - her fiance had taken the opportunity of the wedding to lure Alexi's family into the hall, and brutally murdered them in front of her eyes. He did it because he wanted his family, and specifically him, to be the most powerful of the Divinity class. The power he wielded had gone to his head.
Alexi would have died as well, though she fought long and hard against her betraying lover. They fell through the heavens and crashed into the dark mountainsides, where her ex-fiance left her for dead (he couldn't stand seeing her die in front of his eyes, not that it made his deed any better). Her groaning body was noticed by the resident Drakien, who were the Demons and outcasts of the Transhuman society. They took her in, and did everything they could to repair her body - it took very drastic measures, as her lower set of seraphim wings were badly damaged and her innate attunement to the Divine made it extremely difficult to use Darkness-based operations on her, but Kalec's personal care saved her life. It is thought that her subconscious wanted to live so much because of her desire for revenge against her former lover.
After her physical recovery, Alexi had to begin a mental recovery as well. For a time she was practically insane. Her world has turned upside down - these demons that she was taught to hate all her life had saved her, and she was in essence, a part of their society now that they had grafted her with their technology. She was no longer completely Authien, or Divinity class. She was an outcast from her own world, thought to be dead and if she returned this way she would never be accepted.
But moreover, she had to deal with the sudden revelation that all she thought about her own race was a lie, her broken heart, the betrayal - all of it caused, in the end, a hardening of her heart and emotions. A resolve to put aside her inner emotions, to distrust men, to put aside her racial profiles and regard all species as her species, and to use all her powers, feminine holy and now the addition of the dark powers she received, to deal justice to the Commando that her fiance had become. (A Commando is a transhuman gone insane with power, who can't live within the laws of society - you could say a criminal, but there aren't any real laws in transhuman society)
It is because of this history that Alexi is so hard on men, has a seductive air and smile that seemingly doesn't reach her eyes. The horns she has on her head as well as the sets of wings she has were both grafted to her, the horns to help hold her Halo and Divine spark up, the wings to let her keep flying even though her lower set of wings were damaged beyond repair. She also has a devilish tail that was added to her, with a hook on the end of it - both as a weapon and for more stability when she moves. She also bears more implants on the inside than normal Divinity class transhumans, most of them regulating the pumping and creation of an oily blood substitute, which explains the creamy whiteness of her skin even compared to other angels.
Relationships to other characters
The only people she really trusts are those in Kalec's inner sphere of select transhumans, and of course, Kalec who was the one responsible for saving her so that she could train to exact her vengeance on her ex-fiance. He and Lindin are the main exceptions to her red hate towards men, with Lindin being the one that seems to open her heart more, perhaps even to love him. This initial interest between the two develops as the story moves on from this point as well. Her relationship to Mondai is one of almost motherliness, as she understand the loss and also wonders if she might have turned out the same way had she been as young as Mondai when her family was killed.
Notes
I often imagine Alexi as being innately cold and seductive - like she's not really trying to be, but it shows through anyway and she knows it. Even in the most basic of poses, there's an air of superiority and sexiness that can't be denied. Poses of her looking over her shoulder, with a bit of her leg showing out of her outfit for example, or just the slightest slant of her body and shift onto a hip can do the trick. She tends to look people straight in the eye, with a mesmerizing glint in her eyes that captures the attention. Only rarely will she ever really smile with her eyes, though she almost always has a little smirk on her mouth of confidence and almost pity for whoever is seeing her, because she knows whats going on in their minds. With women, she usually sees them as too weak, pitiful excuses for the gender that flounder with men around. With men, she hates them and pities them for their weakness to a woman's wiles.
Examples!
_____________________________________ Character: Lindin, Chaosmage General Information
Gender: Male
Race: Rathien Transhuman (Dragon/human crossbreed)
Hair color: Flame red, with black roots
Hair length: Medium length, swept back as if by wind, hugging against head
Eye color: Amber - slitted like a cat's
Personality: Mischievous, always plotting something (always wears a slight smirk - defies authority)
True age: A few hundred years (young for his race).
Visual age: 20ish
Main Weapons: One flaming cutlass-like flame-imbued sword.
Specialty: Chaos Mage.
Identifying marks: Pierced left ear, with a dagger-star in it. Matching dagger-star pendant. Slight showing of scales in areas where skin is tight against bone. (underlying scales in endoskeleton show through in those cases)
Clothing: Light scaled armor, with tattered black/red cloak. Will also wear tighter fitting black/red armor shirt and a looser set of pants, gilded with a bit of gold.
Note: The shoulder pad on the picture is not replicated on the other side of his body. His other shoulder is actually quite bare.
Background/Personality/More description
Lindin is a Chaosmage with a fiery temper and witty, quick/sharp tongue. Born a transhuman with genetic traits from both dragons and humans, you can see some remnants of scales in certain regions of his skin. He has flaming red-mixed-with-black hair that blows like embers in the wind (think windswept). PLEASE emphasis on the fact that there is some blackness in there, its a dark red basically. His eyes are yellow, slitted like a cat's, and they tend to be narrowed slightly at all times.
Oddly, he wears a wicked grin on his mouth even when he's angry, and it becomes more pronounced as his temper rises. Mischievous in nature, his mind is always plotting the next trick or prank he plans on pulling. He has small curved horns that stick out backwards and downwards behind his ears, and his left ear is pierced, a dagger-like studded earring in the piercing - he also wears a matching amulet around his neck.
Lindin's clothing is a dark red and black-toned leather on the upper body, light and muscle-hugging. His right arm and legs however sport looser clothing. He also wears one red glove on his right hand and a black glove in the left, preferring to cast magic in the left and wield his single-bladed sword in the right. Speed is his main strength, but he hardly ever thinks before acting. He's a pretty young character in mind, but accelerated growth has put him in a body much older than he is. (Think a late teenager trapped in a young adult's body.) He's an apprentice of Lorn's, and his fiery temper and do-before-thinking ways tend to aggravate his mentor. But he will obey Kalec unquestioningly, as he bears some of Kalec's mind and DNA within him.
Lindin's weapon is a cutlass-type sword which shifts as if it were alive and seemingly burns with a type of fire inside the metal. With his use of chaos magic, Lindin can morph the weapon into whatever he chooses, using a technique of pushing heat in to super-heat the metal into a maleable form, and then re-cooling it by drawing out the heat from the metal itself. Additionally, the hild of the weapon itself can be morphed into a cannon of sorts, which Lindin can hold against his shoulder and fire great distances, blasting a large radius to smithereens. The cannon-version of the weapon isn't too precise though when used in this manner and is definitely not a short-range weapon.
Still young, he will find out that he has powers not only over fire and burning things, but over much broader things such as the mechanisms involved in chance, that can affect just about anything.
Pose ideas and other notes
Lindin hardly ever looks at someone straight - he usually prefers to look at them sideways slightly, or not facing them directly. (Tends to hate it when people stare at him) He tends to enjoy playing with a ball of fire in one hand while toying with his sword in the other, smirking or snickering all the while on the outside. His eyes are sometimes very serious though, so that could be a trait you can show. (A lot of my characters have a lot of internal turmoil and dualism as you'll come to find.)
While he's usually all about just rashly running around, the one thing that he does like to do is gaze out at sunsets, sword or cannon slung over his shoulder, his overcoat fluttering in a light breeze. Its the one time when his dragon-side is cooling down enough yet awake enough to let him think things through. As he gets older, he'll find himself able to control himself a great deal more by thinking of the sunsets of his home and the realize that the reason he is so much calmer is because of how he met Alexi.
Relationships to other characters
Obviously, Lindin loves Alexi to death, even though she's much older than he is in terms of years. He reveres her and always strives to impress her, sometimes successfully, but often comically failing his original plan and making her laugh instead. His youth, confidence, and rashness inspires her and makes her heart beat faster, which is something that no other man has been able to do for centuries. He reveres Kalec as a father figure, even more so than most of the other transhumans in the revolutionary movement, and rightfully so because he shares a large portion of Kalec's DNA and implantation technologies. His relationship to Mondai is one of an older brother - he takes care of her, for no real reason he can think of, but "just cuz" in his own words. Subconsciously, he's always thinking of himself as too young, how everyone is so many milennia or centuries old and he's barely a couple centuries young. Having a new baby in the family is fun for him and he always looks out for her.
Examples of Lindin!
These are just some examples of how people have interpretted and created Lindin. Feel free to fantasize about him in your own way though. XD
_____________________________________ Character: Mondai, Lostsol General Information
Gender: Female
Race: Drakien transhuman
Hair color: Jet black
Hair length: Short and curved - down to the base of her neck.
Eye color: Varies - light gray when calm, black when provoked.
True age: A few hundred years (young for her race).
Visual age: 16 when calm, 22 when provoked.
Main Weapons: Two retractable soul-grafted swords, with a small ornate skull imbedded in each. (see picture)
Specialty: Shadow arts.
Outfit: Generally likes tight-fitting black/metal clothing, leather or plush. (Leather mainly for combat - easier to clean gore off) Wears short cut-off pants, and black boots. Scarf never leaves her, and the metal on the edges is real and can open wounds.
Identifying Marks: A shadow that follows her whereever she goes, a ghostly copy-like figure with a sad expression on her face, the ghost of her lost childhood and a physical manisfestation of the pain and emotion she puts aside forcefully to seek revenge. Its hard to see this shadow since its almost right on top of her, but if you can get close enough, which she rarely lets happen unless you're the target or she trusts you as much as she trusts Kalec, you will see this lingering see-through form.
More description/background/histories
Mondai is an assassin with jet-black hair and eyes that vary in shades of gray, depending on her mood. Lighter means happier, and black generally means pure hatred. Her background is very cloudy and traumatic - her parents were ripped apart in front of her when she was very young. Found by Kalec after her first outburst of dark energy which killed a number of the Transhumans that had attacked her family in the mine shafts, she had already stopped crying by the time he picked her up, only keeping herself from lashing out because of the kinship she sensed in him.
Seeking revenge, she began to study dark arts, and through those dark arts, she was able to lock away her childhood and summon forth a revenge-demon that thrived within her. Her look varies. When in a normal state, her look is that of a young adult woman. The happier she is, the more child-like she becomes, both in personality and in looks. The angrier or blood-lusted she becomes, the more demonic and adult-like her form becomes.
If you look closely at her, or rather, right past her, one can see the sad form of her childhood and past, locked away to soothe the pain but following her everywhere she goes. This shadow looks just like her, but in a ghostly and non-corporeal way. In her youth, she won't even realize its there, as the only people who can see it are her targets, and she always makes her kills. In her later years, she will come to understand and be able to use this shadow-form manifestation as a powerful weapon.
Mondai's weapons are two soul-grafted blades that can extend in distance up to 10 feet, and withdraw to become daggers for easy storage. The history behind these blades is that when she came of age, Mondai went back into the mines and conferred with the spirits of her departed parents. With their permission, she soul-grafted their souls into the blades that she wields, influsing them with life and many powers.
Her right blade carries the spirit of her mother, and her left carries the spirit of her father and both can steal souls from bodies that are killed by the blades. (Normally in Transhuman society, souls can be re-integrated back into bodies by very specific cloning and re-implantation procedures - only a select few assassins are allowed the used of soulstealers for this reason) Mondai's blades often have a ghostly-sort of fog that emanates from the skull imbedded in the hilt, which are the spirits of the slain chained to the daggers to do her bidding.
Her clothing is made up of a black velvetty substance that blends easily into the dark and cloudy regions of the night. She wears boots that are fashioned with a spiked heel, and even though they seem hard to walk on, she can tread very quickly and easily down even the roughest terrain, thanks to her mastery of the shadow skills. Additionally, she carries two deadly gothic looking guns, standard make and model for assassins in Kalec's army. They however do not fire rounds of real ammunition, but instead fire bolts of dark energy, which eat through matter and can explode on her will through her mastery of dark arts.
Relationships to other characters
Mondai's relationship to Kalec would be one of a daughter to a father. He took her in when he found her alone amongst a host of dead soldiers in the abandoned mine where her parents were killed. Her powers are similar to his and he trained her in all the dark arts that he could impart on someone of her age, and more since her eagerness to learn is insatiable. To Alexi, she is like a naughty daughter thats always getting into dirty trouble and needs to be cleaned up, but Mondai loves Alexi nontheless as a sort of mother or nanny figure. To Lindin she is much like a baby sister, and he acts as her older brother in many ways. They fight each other sometimes over petty things, but in the end, Mondai would die for Lindin and vice-versa - she tends to look to him for support in dire need even though he isn't much older than she.
Art of Mondai!
Just a few pictures of people's interpretation of her, so you can get a feel for how he looks besides just my descriptions. ^^ Need more pics. >.<
Character: Kalec, Deathmage - [Deceased] General InformationGender: Male
Race: Drakien Transhuman (Dracolich/human crossbreed)
Hair color: Silver, with purple highlights
Hair length: Shoulder-length and straight
Eye color: Right eye is ice blue, left eye is blood red
Personality: Brooding and the strong-silent type, but with an authority that commands unquestioning respect.
True age: Unknown, but thousands of years is the reputed time.
Visual age: 25ish
Main Weapons: A scythe with a "power" symbol on the blade, bone-like in appearance but really metal.
Specialty: Death and Darkness Battle-Mage.
Identifying marks: Power symbol on the forehead, demonic horns that point outward in front of his face, not back up against his head. Mechanical right arm and left leg, as well as various implants and cords from his armor directly into his flesh, especially an armored cord from his armor into the base of his skull. Also has grey tattered wings coming from his back, that are actually pretty fully functional simply because of his powers, rather than actually being in any flyable shape. He also has a skeletal-looking plated tail, but it too is made mostly of mechanical parts.
Clothing: Plate armor, gauntletted on the hands, and a helm that looks like a skull that can fit over his horns and cover the upper half of his face. Can also wear a dark cloak that covers his armor, but he hardly comes out of the armor simply because its so integrated into his system. Has a skull-pendant as well, hanging from his neck.
Background/Personality/More description
Kalec is, in my storyline, one of the first transhumans and will become the founder of the future transhuman society.
He was once a scientist who was alive during the age of Corporations, and worked for Starr Enterprises, a company that had immense power both financially and politically. His specialty was implantation technology, especially memory cores, but genetic engineering was one of his interests as well.
Initially he was one of the head researchers for a project to create super-human soldiers. While he was a researcher, however, he worked on a special case named Sleeta, a girl who was about his age. She was a conscripted elite, who was locked up by the corporation for false reasons. It was through her that he found out about the lies that the corporation was telling their scientists, about how these people they were experimenting on weren't convicted felons of the highest degree, but intelligent and hard-working individuals that were taken simply because they had the best gene pool. He fell in love with this girl and made plans to escape.
The plans failed and Sleeta was pushed further into the research pool. Kalec was eventually forced to become one of the subjects of the research himself. The methods used to create these super-human soldiers were drastic, and called for genetic reconstruction of an entire adult body, which was both painful as well as dangerous. Kalec's heart actually stopped on the table on an experiment, but the drakien in him kept him alive. They nicknamed him Lostsol, because it seemed like after all that he'd gone through, there was a haunting absense of what one might think of as a soul. Being in his presence was almost like being in the presence of death.
Kalec is one of the last transhumans with so much of his old mind intact that he can still remember old memories like his love of Sleeta. Sleeta was killed in the battles and wars after the Exodus, and it became his obsession over a milennia to try to bring her back through cloning and memory-implantation, but he couldn't bring her back that way because the technology didn't exist. However, his experiments brought into being the memory chips that began to be used widely as a backup file to save a transhuman's memories should they be killed in battle, to be uploaded to a clone should it be necessary. His personality is a ruthless self-driven one, and as most other transhumans, his ethics and morals come last compared to the ends when it comes to manipulation of genes, experiments, and society in general.
Personality
Kalec is usually a very calm and self-composed individual that tends to keep to himself, despite the fact that he in essence, founded a race and many species as they exists today and his society as a whole. Revered by many, resented by those commandos that try to escape from his society, he really doesn't care much either way what people think, and does what he feels is right to help those he does let close to him, and to continue the rebellion and fight against the Tolarkien, as well as the Corporation-driven world of Terrans. A very charismatic individual with a soft look in his eyes, almost sad really, he doesn't know that he will eventually find another love that will take the pain away of all the loss he's suffered, especially his memories of Sleeta.
However, in battle, the "Hatred" as I call it (a remnant of dragon in his genes that is present in all transhumans) literally transforms him into a demon, with a black flaming aura around him and a deadly light glowing in his eyes, his expression turning demonic and his hair flaring up and outward. If you've seen Trinity Blood, you'd know what I mean. I can describe the Hatred for you in greater detail if you wish. I should actually write down a list of terms to understand later.
More Description
In the transhuman wars, both civil and against other races, Kalec increased his power by stealing the souls of those that were falling in battle through use of the dark arts. To extinguish a life-force and add it to his own was a very powerful ability, one that he would eventually teach to some degree to his apprentice, Mondai. It is through his understanding of the soul that he was first able to exactly duplicate a soul-less body that would accept the soul of a deceased. Unfortunately, the Sleeta he once knew could no longer be revived due to the sheer amount of changes she had received. He's often seen conversing to a ghostly skull, which to him looks like the image of Sleeta, but to others looks like a ghastly shade.
Pose ideas and other notes
Kalec is often looking down into that skull I just mentioned, in quiet contemplation. In the picture example, he's simply standing, but you could have him in a sitting position with his wings supporting him, facing any way you want - he often gazes into moonlight too.
I also really love action-poses, where my characters are in combat, about to attack - flying about - things of that nature. For Kalec I could use a lot more character concepts but I have his idea pretty set for most purposes and could definitely enjoy pictures of him in more meaningful postures, as opposed to just the standard profile look. I really love creativity, but if you need more leeway, or more structure to your pose ideas please let me know! We can work it out together, even do MSN or something.
Examples!
I really don't have many examples of Kalec. The only ones I do have are these few right here. If you have an idea of how to change his armor please let me know, but this is how I envisioned him on my own in case you want to try to go by that. ^^
[Shimitsu's wonderful Kalec picture, to the T - Only example so far, will add more as I get more.] <-- will add
