Weaponry, Armory, and Key Items: Broadsword tailored for her use, her teeth and nails, and a hair pin that she has fashioned into a small dagger.

Transformation: Unknown

Character personality: Believe it or not, she isn't as stern and serious as she looks. She's quite the opposite and prefers lazy days than days filled with business. She has her moments of wit and sarcasm, but she is capable of being serious when the moment calls for it, usually when fighting, needing all of her concentration to make sure that she doesn't fall victim to a quiet attack.

Background/History: Picture the most perfect child ever born, with flawless skin and bright green eyes that showed a promise to be something great. That was Helsa, born in Seikai to two caring parents that truly cherished her. However, at a very young age, she was playing with her sister in an area they shouldn't have and had acid thrown on them for trespassing. This destroyed her vision and disfigured her sister. Her parents, being people who let appearance consume them, sent the two to Elghinn, where they were treated for their wounds. They never returned for them.

Her sister grew to be a beautiful woman with hardly any scarring, leaving once she was old enough to find a husband. Helsa was left in Elghinn, blind and useless, to practice healing techniques to help treat ailments and still receive treatment herself in a vain attempt to restore her vision. She spent the next few years accepting her disadvantage and learning to use it in her daily life.

When she reached the age of twenty-five, she was approached by a mysterious woman and was told she was a Saint of Agen, she didn't believe it at first, but after some convincing, she agreed to follow the mysterious woman, and embraced her sainthood as best she could, learning combat with a broadsword. With her heightened sense of hearing, she picked it up quickly, mastering it in under three years. She was also introduced to her true potential, although she wasn't expected to enter sainthood blind, they worked around it, training her increase to her lung capacity and vocal chords to reveal an ear piercing shriek to allow her a moment of sight to stun and attack those of the dark.

Excited to finally feel as if she belonged somewhere, without being pitied for her lack of vision. With her confidence, she went into battle and showed off her newly perfected skills, allowing herself to be a little competitive with her saint counterparts. It was at the loss of a life that the battle became real to her, that everything was fragile and that any more of them could be merged with Veldos, the Dark Lord himself.

After the battle, she returned to Elghinn for a short time and allowed her wounds that she sustained to be healed, but not the scars, as she wanted to remember the battle and run her fingers over them to remind herself just how fragile they truly were, regardless of being saints. She has currently been travelling with a minstrel group under a false name, singing at weddings and festivals for money, hiding her identity and hoping to never return to battle, although she feels terrible guilt for not wanting to pursue saving her fallen comrade.

Appearance Reference:

Played by: Hinata Norisu

Given Name: Suzume Maika Okiita

Age: 230 but appears to be 18

Race/ethnicity: Unknown but appears human

Role in story: Saint

Gender: Female

Height: 5’3”

Distinguishing features: Pink hair and eyes and a long jagged scar running down her back

Magical abilities: Fire manipulation and inhuman strength and speed

Physical abilities: She’s skilled with a blade and is very acrobatic

Weaponry, Armory, and Key Items: a saber and two metal braces on both arms

Transformation: unknown

Character personality: Suzume appears to be calm and friendly at first glance but do NOT be mistaken! She is very distant and cold with a very short temper. Once she gets to know someone however, she becomes somewhat kinder and friendlier…but will still be distant towards him or her…actually she’s kinder to birds than she is to other people.

Background/History: Suzume grew up as a normal child, she was the eldest of three…and was also the only girl in her family with her mother leaving not long after her youngest brother was born. Because she was the eldest, she became very protective over her younger brothers and will actually attack anyone she thought would harm either one. As she grew older, she became aware of her powers. At first it seemed to be nothing, she start a fire out of nothing or light a few candles just by flicking her fingers. But as it is with all powers, they began to grow stronger. Since her family was very poor, food was hard to come by so her father tried to hunt for food while her brothers would steal whatever they could carry. One day when she was thirteen, the eldest of the two boys got caught and in order to protect him, used her powers against the shop keeper. Unfortunately her powers had grown very strong by then and she seriously injured the man. The village grew fearful of the young girl and would thrown stones at her or beat her with sticks, driving her to the point where she refused to leave her home for five years.

When she did step foot outside at the age of 18, she was approached by a strange woman who explained her destiny…obviously it sounded weird but to a girl who could control the element of fire…nothing seemed weird to her anymore. She soon joined a group seeking to destroy an evil spreading across the land. Days turned to weeks which quickly turned to years and she grew closer to this group than she had with her own family. Finally came the day they faced the Dark Lord Veldos. They fought valiantly and victory was almost in their hands…but to defeat Veldos would mean losing one of their own. Once everything was over, Suzume allowed her injuries to be healed but kept the scar on her back as a reminder of her failure to protect a man she viewed like a brother. She travels under the name Sparrow, trying to perfect her fighting skills, now more determined than ever to save her friend.



Appearance Reference:

Played by: Pdragon619

Given Name: Artemis Flynn

Nicknames and Aliases: "The Storm Caller", "The Bloody Huntress","Death", "Insane"(it's what most people call her after all)

Age: 284, appears 20ish

Race/ethnicity: Elf

Role in story: Saint (retired)

Gender: female

Height: 5'9

Distinguishing features: small cuts and scars along her hands, a small birth mark underneath her right eye.

Magical abilities: she is able to channel magic through her bow to enchant her arrows with different spells and elemental effects, she can even create arrows out of pure magic if she runs out of them.

Physical abilities: a master archer with eyesight comparable to an eagle, she is also adept at hand to hand combat, primarily at grappling and disarming opponents.

Weaponry, Armory, and Key Items:None, Artemis refuses to carry weapons of any kind on her, though her old bow "The Blood Thorn" is still enshrined at Kyokai forest, considered a saintly relic to the people there.

Transformation: unknown

Character personality: Artemis for the most part is a kind and caring person. She uses her knowledge of healing remedies and medicine to help those in need, and tries to go out of her way to help those in need when possible. She acts very shy and timid most of the time, tending to keep her distance from people to avoid confrontation. However this isn't because she's weak willed or frightened of others, more she's worried about herself, and what she might do if she ever got angry at someone.
Buried deep underneath the surface, however, is Artemises "true" self. This darker side of her personality represents the person she used to be, and is nothing short of a sadistic lunatic. Outside of battle she is at best an extreme loner, however in the heat of battle she becomes a savage killer, reveling in death and suffering. She enjoys striking fear into others and raves almost none stop during combat, spouting out almost poetic ramblings about death and carnage meant to disturb and terrify her opponents.

Background/History: Artemis was born and raised in Kyokai forest amongst a village of elves, the same one that would one day house the prince of Anon. Artemis was trained how to use a bow at an early age, and proved herself a prodigy with it, becoming one of the villages best hunters at a young age. It was because of this renowned reputation that Artemis was selected to become a saint, a band of fighters dedicated to protecting the land from the forces of evil.

However, it was at this time that Artemis took a drastic turn for the worse. Prior to joining the Saints she had only ever hunted animals, not once had she even gotten into a real fight with another person. So the first time she actually killed someone it affected her deeply, the way time seemed to slow as the arrow was flew free from her bow, the sickening slunk of the arrow piercing deep into the man's chest, the way the man's body went limp and crumpled down to the ground in a lifeless heap...it was all...so...wonderful. The rush of taking a man's life hit her harder than the strongest of highs, and in an instant she became hooked on that sensation. She became deeply disturbed, blood thirsty, nothing like the humble kind girl she had been growing up in Kyokai forest.

Artemis became a demon on the battlefield, striking fear into foe and friend alike. She acquired many different nicknames over her time fighting, mostly from enemy troops who spoke about her actions in battle as if they where ghost stories. First she was the Bloody Huntress, a sick perversion of her former role in her village. Then she was the Storm Caller, for it was said her arrows would block out the sun like a dark cloud and call down a rain of death upon her enemies. Some men even began to believe she was literally death incarnate, fleeing at the mere mention of her presence on the field. Even her fellow saints began to worry about her, as even off the battlefield she continued to grow more confrontational and mentally unstable.

It all came to a head during the battle with Veldos, in which their leader was lost trying to defeat the dark lord. Despite the death and destruction she had come to spread, Artemis had never actually experienced the death of someone close to her before, and the loss of the young man hit straight to what little humanity she had left and shook her to the very core. Not only did she experience the crippling pain of loss, the realization that the same pain she felt now was the exact same pain she had been causing to others caused her to become overwhelmed with guilt. Artemis broke down completely, spending the rest of her time amongst the saints as a near vegetable. She was the first to split away from the others when they disbanded, and she quickly went into hiding, cutting off all ties with the others.

Several years later Artemis finally recovered from the traumatic experience, reinventing herself and starting her life over anew. She abandoned her bow and became a pacifist, vowing to never take another person's life again so long as she lived. She spent a few years living at Mount Hou, learning the ways of the sages, and now spends her life traveling around the world healing the sick and trying to amend all the wrongs she's made in her life. She tries very hard to keep her past behind her, and to this end tries to avoid meeting up with the other members of the Saints, not wanting anything to do with them anymore. Being a pacifist now she despises the person she used to be, considering her to be a monster that she has to keep caged up, and avoids confrontation out of fear that that side of her will come out again.

Played by: Cyrik

Given Name: Rune Saber

Nicknames and Aliases: Rune shuns all nuances of alter ego

Age: 300

Race/ethnicity: Belua Initium

Role in story: Dark Army

Gender: Male

Height: Seven feet and Six inches

Distinguishing features: Eyes are blackened orbs mostly bereft of colors, besides bright azure streaks which swirl amongst the dismal chaos of infinity. His skin tone is also a contrasting mixture of pristine porcelain and deepest ebony. Also, his height places him firmly into the people's attention.

Magical abilities: Rune is the foremost expert in The Magics of Self (Magicis Sui), which a specialization in Exertion Manipulation (Indignatio Attenti, and from what he understands, it's only practitioner) which is considered Energy abilities. He knows several other abilities yet seems uninterested in utilizing them.

Physical abilities: Rune shuns weaponry of an unnatural nature and shirks the use of swords, bows and the other implements of man. Having this self stoic prideful stipulation in his life, he has spent many years inventing a Martial Style of unarmed combat (Interficientis Belua) which utilizes his large size, high level of agility and his Magicis Sui to craft himself into a devastating weapon in his own right.

Weaponry, Armory, and Key Items: Giulgiul din Monster: Developed by Ventrullio, God of Artisans, these set of armor is the thing of myth. It was specifically manufactured for the create who bears it. It is made of a light weight material akin to metal but lies in the family of ceramics. It's beautiful iridescent glimmer adds beauty to the functionality of the set. It's golden medallion has a specific resonance which made the armor perfectly in harmony with the wearer, which allows it to acommidate Rune's Magicis Sui. The last notable ability of this medallion is Rune's ability to focus his Indignatio Attenti through the medallion to create an extremely devastating chest blast of damages of 3,000+ pounds per square inch.

Transformation: Unknown

Character personality: Rune is stoic at nearly all times. He almost always seems to have a chilling calm whether he is leisurely reading a book to pass the time or study the ancient secrets which had been lost in the sands of time, or whether he is defending himself against an onslaught of assailants. Beneath the veneer of self control, Rune is an analytical genius when it comes to problem solving and his mind is always rushing to a myriad of conclusions base on simple observations. He is a stern instructor, sagacious yet distant. He generally acts as if he cares more about the lesson then his student, and knowledge over "friends" which generally makes him seem like a cold individual.

Background/History: Rune is the remnants of a long forgotten race of beings which tend to wield amazing abilities in a world of amazing abilities. The Belua Initium cloistered together in a small village hidden among the trees north of the town of Takrin and lived in relative peace and prosperity for centuries until the internal festering of the Greed of Power ripped the society asunder and left few survivors to carry on the traditions of the race. One of these survivors was Rune, who was thrust into a desperate fight in the Belua Civil War who seems to have never recovered from the droves of his fellow man that fell beneath his fist. Included in his victims was his Father, Brother and Wife. After the War of Monsters, Rune left the shattered remains of his homeland in an attempt to run from his bloody and depressing past and start life anew in a new land and with new people by his side. But the dismal state of his past was impossible to overcome and the festering love that he still retained for his wife was too much for him to handle and he soon fell in with a bad crowd, carrying the immense power of his abilities into the shadowed veil of Evil where he commands attention for his atrocities as much as for his peculiar and imposing appearance.

**Indignatio Attenti:: This ability is basically the physical manifestation of physical exertion. Usually left as an afterglow of crimson energy after some form of physical movement, it is a magical ability that depletes energy from the user's muscles instead of energy from a finite magical source (ex: Mana or Ki). These energy trails are harmless to the user but deal a constant stream of bludgeoning damage to anyone else whom may come in contact with it (Imagine placing your hand before a blunt spike on a jackhammer.) And is only able to be manipulated by those who created it. The time of it's creation is instant but the time of it's duration is 5 seconds, unless the muscles used to create it are kept tensed in a specific way. The damage done by this attack is dependent upon the diameter of the trail created but is related to being hit by the limb that created it (Finger = 50psi per second. Hand = 75psi per second etc...).
