Name:Dyani Gender:Female Stage:Elder RP Color:Teal [Uncert]
Familiar:???
Relationship Status:Taken
About:When first summoned, Dyani was very shy and awkward, having to be pushed to interact with other Winis. Gradually, she made a few friends and learned to deal with more than one Wini at a time in a social situation. With so many crazy Winis making their way into the home, she needed to learn to cope to survive. She seemed to be take on a sarcastic sort of defensive mechanism...at least in reference to Aponi. With most other Winis, she was civil enough, and even sweet to those she considered friends. Perhaps it's her own version of revenge for the Elder pushing her so much to come out of her shell. Still, she meant well enough.
During the war, she seemed to find herself at last, adopting a quiet sort of grace. Much like Aponi, she took on a caregiver role, looking after those seeking shelter or refuge from the ravages of war.
Calming Doe - Serving as an assistant of sorts for Aponi in her crusade during the war, the once-shy Dyani came into her own as the pacifist 'second-in-command'. She was usually busying herself moving through the refugees, calming the young ones, and offering words of support. It came to be said that she moved with the grace of a doe through a forest of chaos.

Familiar:???
Relationship Status:Single
About:Generally soft-spoken, Aponi is a kind Wini with the wisdom that comes with one of her years. She never has an unkind word for anyone...though it seems that Fate likes to try pushing her limits. Still, she never turns away a 'young one' looking for comfort or advice and seems to have 'adopted' a few children along the way. Not to mention a few summoned offspring of her own, courtesy of Aedan, New Years, and a strange human drink called "champagne..."
Still, she does her best to remain a respectful Elder, always open to the needs of others.
Did I mention she speaks in a dialect resembling Old English? At least, until she actually gets upset about something and it seems to slip a bit...how curious...

Merciful Mother - Unable to find the rest of her own 'children' in the chaos of war, Aponi set up a refuge in the InBetween for those caught in the fighting who wished to have no part of it. With Dyani's help, she took in young ones, injured, and Winis of all types seeking to escape the fighting, and found them safe places to stay.

During the War [X] Asylum - with Dyani and unnamed child Winiko
About:Always a bit of a well-meaning fool, the war forced Makya to grow up in a way he never had before. Always, he'd treated life as a bit of a game, always trying to make things better, with the faith that if he tried hard enough, everything would work out in the end. The war exposed him to true horrors and the thought that the little family he'd created had been torn apart and possibly destroyed nearly destroyed him in turn. He became like a Wini possessed, only tempering once he found his daughter. His purpose became to protect her and keep her safe, while keeping the search on for the rest of his family. He is still a protector and kind to those he holds dear, yet he's developed the soul of a fighter, vicious when threatened, but deadly when that threat turns to his loved ones.
The Silver Streak - Unable to find his family at first when the fighting broke out, Makya was nearly driven mad with rage and grief. The chance event of being reunited with one of his daughters may have saved his sanity. He hardly let Sahkyo out of his sight, but together they continued the search for her mother and other siblings. Though they did not find them, the pair became a deadly force to be reckoned with, Sahkyo providing the distraction, while Makya prepared to strike down the foe with a single, heavy-pawed blow.

Name:Aukai Gender:Male Stage:Elder RP Color:Black [Elder Uncert]
Familiar:Eion
Relationship Status:Single? (But open to continuing things with Mazarine)
About:Aukai is a solitary Wini by nature and choice. He regards most other Winis as ridiculous or obnoxious, depending on the individual. However, he tends to give other koi or water-affiliated Winis at least the benefit of a doubt...at first. Still, he's more likely to associate with them, if anyone. He still prefers his solitary nature, but has been known to interact with one (or maybe two) other Wini at a time...but no more, thanks.
When it comes to social skills, he's rather...'out of practice' to put it nicely. He tries when he's in the mood to...but things tend to be a bit awkward.
He became a bit of a one-Wini strike force during the war, helping spread a fear of the water's edge amongst the Wraiks. His determination came more from the irritation of being dragged unwilling into such a conflict and his sole desire to be left alone than any higher ideals or grand vendettas.
Obtained:Page Raffle from the Halloween 2008 Event
The Typhoon - The already-reclusive aquatic Wini did not welcome the invasion of hostility to the InBetween, nor the seeming 'requirement' of being involved in such a thing. He'd never reacted well to large crowds or unwelcome company, but the constant battles and hostility wore down his resistance until he finally gave in. Realizing that isolation was impossible, he instead embraced the indication that the fighting wouldn't end until one side destroyed the other...so he'd aid in the destroying. Those he faced on the field of battle gave him his name, some accounts describing in detail how the finned Wini would strike from the water's shallows like a force of nature, sending small companies scattering in panic and confusion.

Name:Cheveyo (Meaning "spirit warrior" in Hopi) Gender:Male Stage:Elder RP Color:Maroon [Elder Uncert]
Familiar:???
Relationship Status:Single
About:Daring, mischievous, and perhaps a little nuts, Cheveyo has no hesitations about dashing headlong into any situation that might provide either adventure, entertainment, or maybe just destruction. He was once best known around the shop for conspiring with Northridge, his second-in-command, to 'quell the coming rebellion of the shop furniture.' They even attempted to recruit others to their cause, though few took them seriously.
Apparently, there was more to the tiny 'leader' than most had ever imagined. While still brash, eager, and yes, perhaps still a little nuts, the armored Wini slipped into the role of a leader of Winis during the war, earning their loyalty and respect by encouraging and fighting alongside his fellow soldiers, while brainstorming clever strategies during the quiet spells.
The war didn't seem to weigh on him as heavily as others. Somehow, he seemed to keep a positive outlook, despite the dark things he had seen while fighting. He's not all 'doom and gloom' now that it's over. Perhaps...he really was always just a bit nuts.

Cheveyo's Story - Major Milestones and Plot Points
The Dark General - If anyone had told you that the armored little Wini declaring war on the 'subversive furniture rebellion stirring in the shadows' back in the day would prove to be an asset in the days to come, most would have scoffed and said that they had lost their mind. Apparently, such practice was only a warm up for Cheveyo. When the real test came, the armored little leader of the force that kept the shop furniture in check back in the day proved that he had quite a mind for strategy hidden beneath that helm. Far from the largest Wini, he settled into a role of leadership instead, stirring straggling groups of panicked, lost Winis into fighting forces, making strategic strikes where most needed to take back lost territory. Oddly, he seemed to inspire the others, though some called it foolish optimism, the fact was that most seemed willing to follow. The numbers only grew as he proved his capabilities.

Name:Rahab (Source: Fallen angel of pride whose name means "violence.") Gender:Male Stage:Adult RP Color:DarkSlateBlue
Familiar:???
Relationship Status:Single
About:Rahab is typically content to stay distant from others, observing them quietly and keeping to himself. He's sarcastic and seems to have some built-up hostility from an unknown source that emerges when approached. However, he's still only verbal...until touched. He hates being touched and if pushed far enough, will lash out at the offending party with kicking feet, claws, and teeth until freed.
The reason for this extreme reaction is still unknown.
He's very sensitive regarding questions about his third eye, which is both constantly bloody and blind. Perhaps this is connected to why he dislikes any sort of contact from others.
The Fallen Angel - Though he'd had some trouble as a child, Rahab's wings were functional enough as an adult. And upon the battlefield, he swept down upon his enemies like an angel of vengeance. A bloody one. He was no angel to those who faced him, however, and to call him a demon, well...it wasn't exactly an insult to those who were demons already, was it?

Sahkyo Dancing Flower
Name:Sahkyo (Meaning "mink" in Navajo) Gender:Female Stage:Adult RP Color:Purple
Dancing Flower - At first, the chaos of the war had been utterly terrifying. She'd not admit it aloud, but she'd been nearly ready to break when her father had found her. With her daddy at her side, Sahkyo seemed filled with a sort of renewed energy. He'd given her hope and courage that they'd make it through, so as they continued their search, she found her own way to pitch in. Her father was definitely the heavy hitter of the two, but she was light and agile. When confronted with those in their way, Sahkyo would rush in, gathering the attention of their attackers before dancing away, keeping the foe agitated by remaining just out of reach, giving Makya the chance to strike from the shadows.
The Cleansing Flood - While the large crossbreed shared in his father's quiet nature, he also had his mother's kindness. But, what place is there for a 'knight' in a brutal slaughter? Wherever there are those who still need protecting. While he possessed the same strength and ferocity as his father, rather than simply striking out at any and all 'invaders', he focused his efforts on rescuing the smaller, weaker Winis who needed help. Clearing small areas of Wraik forces, he'd make sure the area was safe for those seeking shelter there before moving to the next.

Kaliska's Story - Major Milestones and Plot Points
The Lightning Messenger - Even this poor, cowardly Wini found a place in the wartime. For much of her life spent hiding from others, one wouldn't think that she'd have many skills to offer in battle. However, all that running and hiding had given her the ability to travel swiftly and remain unseen when she wished. So, she found herself taking on messenger duties, slipping out and around the worst of the fighting to deliver messages or supplies, then darting out and gone again before anyone could catch her.

Here, come talk to a lady for a moment...pull up a pillow, make yourself comfortable, and let Miss Calypso tell you all about how we should be making love, not war...' (Calypso worked as something of a 'Mata Hari' of the Winiko of the InBetween, using her charm and seductive skills to pry secrets about future planned attacks and endeavors from the enemy. If she was discovered, she fled back to the safety of the Winiko forces, waiting until the 'heat' had blown over, before making any further attempts at the weak links in the other forces.)
Samantha Hakan's Story - Major Milestones and Plot Points
Vengeful Flame - Sweeping across the battlefield like a wildfire, the nine-tailed Elder Winiko was a force to be reckoned with. Normally docile, if a bit sarcastic, she hid a fiery temper that could flare up wildly if stirred. She sought to protect some of the younger Winiko, placing herself as a protective force between them and the hostile invading force. She felt it was every demon's right to choose whether they wished to live solely in the InBetween, or on the other side as well with the human creatures. To be forced back to the InBetween against her will only served as fuel for the fire that was her wrath.
Rapunzel's Story - Major Milestones and Plot Points
The Forgotten - She had waited so long, yet no prince ever came to rescue her, to sweep her away and off into the sunset. Instead, she got dragged back to the InBetween and some stupid war with a bunch of twits who wanted to take away what little she had already. No longer would she hold out waiting for rescue from outside. If you wanted something, you didn't wait for someone to give it to you. You took it for yourself.

The clear, cold eyes of this Wraik were the last that many unfortunate Winiko ever saw before being silenced forever. She became known as the Icy Storm, a combination of the cold, calculating way she dispatched her foes, and the pure destructive force she seemed to embody.
Name:Venetia ("Blessed") Gender:Female Stage:Elder RP Color:Black [Elder Uncert]

About:Coming soon...
Winning Concept:
Venetia wasn't all that bad, for a demon. Not back in the InBetween; she might have even been considered civil, if one didn't mind her somewhat rare sharp tongue.
But that was her old life.
That all changed the day that damn drunk accidentally summoned her by cutting his hand on a broken beer bottle he'd just dropped. He'd picked up the amulet and brought it home in a half-drunken stupor, never knowing what the item was. His blood touched the talisman and Venetia's fate was sealed.
Too stupid to grasp the wonder of summoning a demon, of all things, into his home, the drunk viewed her as only another mouth he couldn't afford to feed, and tried to teach her to fetch him more beer as the bottles ran empty. He had a temper, and for every mistake she made, she paid for it. Even sometimes when she didn't make a mistake. Or for things that couldn't possibly be her fault, but he had to take his temper out on someone.
She grew quiet and withdrawn, feeling trapped in this existence by the cruel beast that had summoned her. She had to get out...but how? If her escape attempt failed, she was loathe to imagine what sort of punishment that might bring down upon her head. Instead, she stayed quiet, doing her best to get by, biding her time.
But of course, the foolish never learn, even if taught, and one day, the drunk's temper flared wildly out of control. He began screaming at Venetia, though she couldn't figure out what it was she'd supposeably done this time. Not that it mattered in the long run anyway. The human snarled and shouted, flailing his arms and shaking his fists at her, before throwing an empty bottle on the floor. One such bottle had helped bring her into this world, so only fitting that he remove her from it in a similar manner...
Normally so docile and tame, from months of abuse, something in Venetia snapped as the human came for her with the broken bottle, death in his eyes. A snarl ripped from her jaws, her voice harsh after so many months of disuse, and she lunged, claws outspread.
She didn't remember what happened next. Only that when she came to, there was blood everywhere, all over the room, all over her, all over that corpse over...there... And she was free.
After making her escape, she swore never again to let herself be used or taken advantage of. She would meet all attempts with the harshest response necessary to prevent her further mistreatment. She's suspicious, snide, and perhaps just a bit crazy. She may not be quite all there after her 'snap.' She's not welcome to physical contact, and if she senses even the slightest possibility that someone is trying to take advantage of her in any way, prepare for violence to ensue.

Venetia's Story - Major Milestones and Plot Points
Death's Shadow - Never again, she'd sworn, never again would she be seized or used by these damnable creatures. Finding others of her kind of like mind, she was swift to sign on to the war effort. She drew respect from the others when it was discovered that she'd killed the last fool to summon her from the InBetween. She'd have been given her own squad, but she refused. She worked better alone. Her dark form lurked in the shadows, never detected until one saw her glowing white eyes, just before she struck...
