Who Shall you Kiss? (accepting)

[ShadowLadyRaven]

In a time of war and monsters, there are those that are more evil than the rest. A guild known as The Silver Guard keeps peace in these troubled times. For a fee of course. If their services weren’t so necessary, probably no one would put up with them, but they have weapons that no one else can acquire and they use them against the world’s deadliest enemies. The Deathwalkers. One can slip into town and eats the flesh of someone. Afterwards, they take on their appearance and continue to spread throughout town. After they eat their second person, another Deathwalker is formed. Thus, the town is steadily consumed until it is simply dust.

Now what type of weapon does The Silver Guard use to destroy the Deathwalkers you ask? Well, there are two weapons. The first weapon is called a Handler. A Handler is a person who is scoped out from birth as a person who posses special abilities to share visions to the two guards from the Silver Guard that they travel with. They get these visions from the people they handle. These people are a rare race called the Vestec Nia. They are only located in one village in the northern mountains now, as the Deathwalkers have hunted down and killed the rest of them.

Why? It’s quite simple really. The Vestec Nia are a delicate race that look like normal people, but when paired with a handler, they can see the Deathwalkers. They share their vision with their Handlers, who then use their abilities to show what they are seeing with the two guards who have been specially trained to kill Deathwalkers.

Troops of The Silver Guard- Troops are 4 person teams that travel about to rid villages of death walkers. Each troop is different in their own way and every troop has an insignia that defines them .

Guards of a 4 person Squad- There are typically two guards per squad. They are there to protect the Handler and their Vestec and kill Deathwalkers. They have trained all their lives in The Silver Guild until they are paired up together, then with a Handler. Once their squad is almost formed, they head to the Northern Mountains to find a Vestec among the Vestec Nia to add to their troop. These guards also have elemental abilities unique to them. They may control fire, water, earth, and wind on a very small scale. All they can really do is maybe enhance their weapons a little, their armor, but only a couple of times a day. They could also use their abilities to learn info such as asking the wind about something and learning something. Mind you, their abilities are very weak. Healing someone is out of the question. They can also only gain mastery over one element.

Handlers- Handlers were born with special abilities to share the visions they receive from their Vestec partner to the others in their squad. When they are born, they are found by The Silver Guard and raised there, as well as trained by elder handlers to hone their abilities until they are old enough, usually around the age 18, then paired with two guards and sent to find a Vestec partner. However, the Vestec and the Handler must be in complete harmony and meant for each other. If they are not, the Handler cannot activate their abilities.

Vestec- The Vestec Nia are a very delicate, fair, and peaceful race. They grow up in their small, secluded village in the Northern Mountains until a newly formed troop from The Silver Guard arrives, looking for their own Vestec. When a Vestec is right for a squad, everyone will know. They can never activate their powers alone, as it takes a large amount of energy out of them. For a Vestec to activate their powers, their Handler must kiss them, so their visions are shared and they are as one. Since this takes so much energy from them, a Vestec can only use thir powers three times a day. And if a Vestec is around Deathwalkers for too long, they could very well die.

ShadowLadyRaven

Name: Mayu Nikita
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Squad: Squad 4 - Vestec
Distinguishing Marks: A couple of scars here and there, a couple of which she does her best to keep hidden, their tattoo is on the back of her left shoulder blade.
Weapons: Two small daggers. One she keeps in her boot, the other at her hip. She also has a hidden needle thats disguised as a hair ornament.
Personality: Generally she appears the quiet, calm, friendly, and gentle sort of leader. These things remain true. However, she does have the potential to be the life of the party, it really just depends. She always wants to help out those who could use aid, and is very loyal to those whom she cares for. Sometimes she seems to hold a wisdom and intelligence beyond her years, and other times she seems like a child. The one thing that people don't generally know is she can have quite the temper once she's been pushed too far. Nobody has triggered it yet, but it has flared up a couple of times.
Bio: Mayu's family was chosen away by various groups which left her to grow up alone the majority of the time. The longest family member to remain was her older brother. He taught her a couple of basics of how to use a dagger before he left with a squad a few years ago. Since then, she has been helping the villagers out with various tasks, occasionally performing to brighten their spirits since their race is a dwindling one. She sings and dances, sometimes teaching the younger children how to sew amongst various other artsy things. She is certainly one of the bright spots of the village. Today she feel there is a change in the wind, and she does feel a very slight twinge of fear as to what this means.
Appearance: ~*~

Name: Rosa Zabójca
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Squad: 12 - Guard
Distinguishing Marks: The tattoo on her shoulder in her picture, three earrings in her right ear, and a raven tattooed on the side of her neck. Her insignia is tattooed on her upper thigh.
Element: Fire
Weapons: Dagger seen in picture, throwing knives, poisoned throwing needles, seemingly invisible wires that she throws out and controls with expertise, and a yari spear, however it also has two blades extending horizontally besides the main blade. Thus they form a sort of "T" shape.
Personality: She may as well be a practicing mute at most points in time, but she'll speak if she has to or feels she has something to add. However, she is very loyal to her squad and those she considers friends. It's just... she doesn't quite express it like most.
Bio: Rosa was originally just an urchin on the streets who learned how to steal and kill if she had to. She doesn't talk for her own reasons, and well... tends to keep to herself for the most part. She decided to become a guard when the option was given to her after she was caught once. Now, she is a part of a squad and is rather deadly.
Appearance: X

Maya Freana

Name: Amaya Caldwell
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Squad: Squad 12's Vestec
Distinguishing Marks: The insignia is tattooed on her back in the middle of her shoulder blades.

Personality: Amaya is a very kind and caring girl. She loves trying to help her troop even if it is dangerous for her. She tries her best to help however she can and likes to have fun when Squad 12 isn't busy with a job.
Bio: Amaya grew up in the Northern Mountains all her life, safe and secluded from the rest of the world. Then one day Squad 12 came into the village looking for their Vestec. It was nothing new to the girl, as it happened at least once a month for the Vestec Nia. However, she soon found she was supposed to be Squad 12's Vestec, so she left her only to home to help a world of people that can't even begin to understand the Silver Guard.
Appearance: Amaya


Name: Shalrien Radford
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Squad: Squad 4's Guard
Distinguishing Marks: Tattoos up her left arm and the squad's mark on Shade's coat oddly enough.
Element: Fire

Personality: Shalrien is a very quiet girl. She is a very serious fighter and finds great pleasure in killing Deathwalkers, though she knows what her job is and will protect her friends.
Bio: Shalrien comes from a long line of skilled members of The Silver Guard. So naturally, she was born into it and became a member herself, training everyday until she was put into her own troop and began going on missions. It's not clear when Shalrien met Shade, but the two never have seemed comfortable away from each other.
Appearance: Shalrien

Minandreas

Name: Gondin
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Squad: 12 - Guard
Distinguishing Marks: Burn scars here and there that look very old.
Element: Earth
Weapons: Primarily uses two long swords. Also carries two knives, good for hand to hand as well as throwing. He has a trusty horse though he uses it more for transporting his things than for transportation, since he enjoys jogging alongside his team to keep his body in shape.
Personality: Calm and Rational. He is a man who has found his place in life, and is perfectly content with it. He was born with a celibate mind that finds sexuality completely uninteresting. He sees combat as an art form. His hobby is blacksmithing, and any armaments he uses are created by him. He is easy to approach, and slow to anger. He enjoys poetry and music, and likes to relax in a tavern listening to a good bard after a hard day’s work. He takes his job as a guard very seriously as it is the true proving grounds for the artwork of his combat.
Bio: Gondin was born to a family of simple blacksmiths. He grew up learning the trade, and like any strong young man in a dangerous world, he also learned to defend himself. Over the years he came to enjoy the thrill and sport of combat and it led him to such skill that he was invited to join the Silver Guard. Now he is known for his unparalleled swordsmanship using a style that he developed himself. He created it to take advantage of the only earth manipulation he knows. He can reduce the effects of gravity on the weapons he has created, effectively allowing him to swing them with the ease and precision of dry sticks.
Appearance: Standing at a slightly above average height of 6'1'' Gondin is a lithe man. He has the streamlined, rock solid muscle of a man who has obtained his muscle through heavy training with intent to use it, rather than the bulk of a man who puts on muscle simply to put on muscle. His skin is light in tone, and he has blue eyes. His dirty blond hair is kept short enough that it doesn't get in his way, but long enough to always be rather disheveled. He doesn't pay great attention to his facial hair, and often times he's scruffy. But over all, he always manages to pull off a roguish look with his boyish features. He wears middle class clothing and a brown leather duster, preferring to look common rather than announce his profession to all, and since he prefers to rely on his speed and swordsmanship for defense, he doesn't wear armor.
~Gondin~

Age: 20
Gender: Male
Squad: Squad 12's Handler
Distinguishing Marks: Squad 12's Insignia Tattooed on his left arm
Weapons: All kinds of Swords (broad, double handed, scimitars, etc)
Personality: Senel is a kind and caring person with a strong desire to do what is right. He tends to be very stubborn over certain things and is very defensive of the people close to him, but he will never turn down someone in need.
Bio: Senel considers himself a normal guy despite his destiny as a handler. His life has pretty much been planned out for him since he was born though he takes pride in what he is and does. Aside from his normal handler training Senel also picked up several sword fighting styles and has a natural talent for it. His only downside, however, aside from not following orders when it doesn't benefit him, is his constant desire to travel, explore, and aid those in need despite what his mentors say or do.
