Yaruka's Madhouse
Enjoy the chaos. ^_^


Setting: Somewhere near the ocean, close to the glassy shore, there sits a stately manor of wood and stone upon a small cliff, belonging to a single woman and her many creatures and beings which she calls her family. The house is constantly alive with activity, from the many pets playing outdoors to the humanoid creatures inside occupying their time with various things. A few such creatures are the unwitting subjects of this chronolization, their actions and events followed closely by an unknown, all-seeing entity. Welcome to their journal.

Yaruka's Anthros
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tuomas feels: "You are safe and you are in my arms. I will never let you go."
RP available?: No

Name: Tuomas
Age: Unknown, but looks around 20
Orientation: No true preference
Siblings: Everyone in Yaruka's house he considers a sibling
Aquaintances: Felicia, Christmas, Tal
Friends: Aphrodite
Enemies: None (as far as he's concerned)
Mate: Aphrodite
Likes: Sweet things (cakes and pastries), apples, reading, playing music, reading, writing, cute things
Dislikes: Things that taste bitter, loud noises, people who are mean for no reason, guilt trips, his past

Short Bio: At a first glance, one might be frightened by his dark appearance, but underneath that he's a gentle soul with a weakness for cute things. But Tuomas has a dark past. Long ago, he ruled over a far away forest with an iron fist and persistant seduction. For many years, he was feared by all within the forest and he ruled in glory. His downfall came in the form of a mortal human woman, who had an equally dominant will and spirit, and would not succumb to his power or sensuality. In his quest to make her his, he lost his mind and entered into her servitude. Unable to understand why he suddenly gave up his domineering spirit for her, he rose against her and tormented her as she had him, forcing her to experience his rule. Soon after, however, she came back up with a vengance and tortured him in the worst way; she set him free. Even with his freedom and power restored, he could not forget her, nor could he understand why he enjoyed his time under her thumb. Many years of brooding provided him with the answer; he loved her. He set out to return to her, but found that time had taken her away, as it does with all things mortal. In his sorrow came rage, which he took out upon innocent lives. He was banished from his forest home, his hair forever marked by the blood of the innocent that he slayed. He grew humble and lonely, settling in with a villiage of humans many miles from his homeland. While there, he learned what it was like to live with heart and that a gentle touch brought life with it. After many years of living among mortals, he returned to the outside world as the unicorn that he is to this day.

Ekaterina feels: I'm a mother and I feel so fulfilled...but I'm worried about Lirael.
RP available?: No

Name: Ekaterina
Age: Mid 20's
Orientation: Bisexual/No preferance
Siblings: None
Aquaintances: Byakko, Felicia, Drake, Yukio, Greed
Friends: Tuomas, Drake, Yukio, Byakko, Losabriel, Felicia
Enemies: Narcissa, the High Priestess
Mate: Losabriel
Children: Lirael & Lasagira
Likes: Silks, sparkly things, wine, sex, big fluffy pillows, soft things, herself
Dislikes: Competition, being ignored, anything that looks cheap

Short Bio: Ekaterina once lived in the lap of luxury in a grand temple harem, viewed as the most beautiful of the harem women. She was the Temple Master's favorite, and she knew it, and she was pampered unmercifully. As such, she was brutalized daily by the other harem women, who were overcome with jealousy. At times, she would have to fight for her life....especially against the Temple Master's wife, the High Priestess, whose hatred for her was beyong measure. Ekaterina's life was not always a happy one. Living the high life, she had her own room apart from the main harem and was allowed to go wherever she pleased (as well as SEE whoever she wished). However, no matter how many men, or women, she was with, it never brought her happiness. Her clandestine affairs were known throughout the city, but kept a well-hidden secret until one such affair went awry. The miffed man told the Temple Master's wife of her many betrayals. As a result, she was publically humiliated and thrown out of the temple, as well as the city.

Ekaterina and Losabriel's Rings


~************************~


Lirael is: Why does everything look so...dull?
RP available?: Yes

Name: Lirael
Age: 18
Orientation: Not sure...
Parents: Ekaterina & Losabriel
Siblings: Lasagira
Aquaintances: None
Friends: None
Enemies: None
Mate: None
Likes: Sweet foods, emotional music, singing, gray days that threaten to rain, autumn leaves blowing in the wind, big open spaces
Dislikes: Cramped spaces (claustrophobic), people being too loud, having his thoughts interrupted, being interrupted while singing, conflict
Personality: Generally a very quiet boy, he tends to keep to himself as long as he can have his space. His claustrophobia makes it hard for him to handle crowds or small rooms, so he prefers intimate gatherings of a few in larger places. He hardly speaks for the most part, but when he does his voice is soft and quiet so you have to listen to him carefully...which he likes. Despite his quietness, he loves to sing and he has a heavenly voice. But he won't sing for just anyone, for his songs are a treat to those he wishes to share them with. He has an eye for details due to his observant nature. He has a compassionate heart and manages to find beauty in everything, especially things that represent sadness. Why is this? No one knows. Not even his mother has figured it out.  

[Yaruka]

Nebiros feels: I should be happy...but I'm not. I'm cursed.
RP available?: Yes...sort of.

Name: Nebiros
Age: 22
Orientation: Bisexual, as long as they're pretty beauties
Siblings: None
Aquaintances: Jake, Alexis, Skyling, Ra, Joe
Friends: Jake, Polie, Alexis (delectable thing)
Enemies: None yet (Give it time)
Mate: None...EVER!
Children: Seraphim & Dakota
Likes: Pretty girls, pretty boys, things with studds, collars, sex, making others squirm (good or bad)
Dislikes: Commitment, macho men, snobby girls, being denied of his more lustful tendancies

Short Bio: Probably the best way to describe Nebiros would be the "sexual black sheep" of the family. He was a rather recent discovery of Yaruka's, and one which she regrets. He's her only living cousin and, unfortunately, seems to have picked up some of her family's lesser moral standings (being as he was partially raised by Yaruka's father). Yaruka describes him as a sexual deviant, to which he smiles and gives thanks. At times, he can act quite feminine with random bouts of cute squealing when finding something he finds adorable, but inside he is a sensual preditor, constantly searching for his next victim. He adores all that he finds beautiful, from things to people, and he bathes himself in beauty and elegance. He has a thirst for blood that rivals his lust and uses his sensuality to draw them in, generally bedding them before quenching his thirst. He has no morals and no boundaries, seeing any opportunity as an open one.....or so it seemed at first.

Having dug further into her family records, Yaruka has discovered a secret to Nebiros' behavior that even he doesn't know. She also has discovered a part of his past that makes him who he is. His heart is not completely made of stone. He did love, once...and it was a love that would tear him apart. He dearly adored his Persephone, faithful to a fault as to hardly leave her side. The one time that he did led to the disaster that would tear them both apart completely. Oblivious to his true nature, temptation came in the form of a glass of wine and a mysterious woman. His betrayal to Persephone shattered the bonds of their relationship, proving fatal in the end. His one love cursing his name upon her death, he has never allowed himself to love like that again. He couples with various people to hide the hurt inside, sex being his drug to keep him calm.

Now he's got two daughters, curteousy of Alexis. Seraphim is his pride and joy and he would risk his life to protect his baby girls.

Theme Songs:
Kiss - Prince
Meaning Of Life - Disturbed

~*********************~


Seraphim is: What the Hell are YOU looking at?
RP available?: Yes

Name: Seraphim
Age: 19
Orientation: Not sure. Probably bi.
Parents: Nebiros & Alexis
Siblings: Dakota
Aquaintances: None
Friends: None
Enemies: None
Mate: None
Likes: Motorcycles, fire, cooking (don't ask), blood, people being open and blunt (even if it may cause a fight), being pampered
Dislikes: Being ignored, people feeling sorry for themselves, liars
Personality: Slightly spoiled and a total daddy's girl, Seraphim is very blunt and forthcomming in her thoughts. She sees no reason to sugarcoat things. She generally comes off as snobbish, but she actually has a good heart. She just has a hard time showing it without coming off as a total...well.....b***h.

Theme Songs:
Sweet Child Of Mine - Guns N' Roses  

[Yaruka]

Song feels: Lost and hopeful. I am a muse without a muse.
RP available?: Yes

Name: Song
Nicknames: Sugar Cookie, Sunspot, Sing-Song (All given to her by Jealousy)
Age: As old as inspiration
Orientation: Heterosexual, but a flirt with everyone
Siblings: None
Aquaintances: Jin, Arioch, Ameeron, Joe, Raven
Friends: Jin, Arioch, Jealousy, Joe, Raven
Enemies: None yet
Mate: I'm engaged to Arioch! *Squee!*
Likes: Candy, music, pretty flowers, dancing, fun people, sparklies, having her hair played with
Dislikes: Being silenced, her hair being pulled, sour music, big meanies (Jelly doesn't count since she's a big insecure softy inside xd )

Short Bio: Perhaps one of the greatest muses to exist, Song embodies all that is musical and carefree. Wherever she treads, she brings with her the inspiration that makes people find the music within them, from humming a simple tune to composing a grand symphony. With every emotion there is music to match it, and Song eminates them all. Though usually cheerful and a little too cutsey, her musical aura will change with her emotions and will affect those around her. As such, she can never hide how she feels, so she's a very honest girl. Don't mistake her cuteness for weakness, though. Despite her looks and attitude, she's anything BUT naive. When seeing her together with Jealousy, it may seem as though the demoness is her guardian, but it's the other way around. Song watches over Jealousy to assure that she doesn't start or get into any trouble. Should the voice fly into a rage, Song uses her power over music to calm the beast within her. A cute little girl with a lot of pluck, this muse is one tough sugar cookie with enough sweetness to give you cavities! (as so aptly put by Jealousy)


Gifts


From Arioch after they met.


Her engagement ring!  

[Yaruka]

Jealousy feels: "Interesting.....someone wants to talk to me again of their own free will."
RP available?: Yes

Name: Jealousy
Nickname: Jel, Jelly (given to her by Song and she HATES it)
Age: As old as malice
Orientation: Who gives a damn and why should I tell you?
Siblings: All wrathful Voices are her bretheren
Aquaintances: Arioch, Morgath, Jethro, Lilium, Ameeron, Kittie, Kudou, Joey, Alucard (twisted....seriously), Elric (nice and wise...refreshing)
Friends: Song....and that's purely by force, Alexis, Morgath
Enemies: Everyone?
Mate: None
Likes: All things green, taking what she likes, using force, cussing, sex, alcohol, guilt trips, all of her material possessions
Dislikes: Being ditched, being denied what she wants, her hair being touched, people having nicer or better things than she does, cute things (including Song)

Short Bio: What more can be said about her? As her name suggests, this demoness embodies the jealousy that rages within Yaruka's heart and soul, but is kept bottled up. Much like Yaruka, she's insecure deep down and hides it with her forceful attitude. Don't take that as a sign of weakness, though. She's strong and malicious if you get on her bad side, and she's somewhat sadistic. She wants just about anything and everything and will use whatever means necessary to attain said things, including kill. Easily embarassed and horendously proud, it doesn't take much to rile her up. The best advise: Be blunt, but watch yourself.

Fiona feels: "We've only just met....yet I feel as though an eternity binds us."
RP available?: No

Name: Fiona
Age: A true lady never tells her age
Orientation: Heterosexual
Siblings: I really don't need to name them all, do I?
Aquaintances: Sereg
Friends: Sereg (*permanent blush*)
Enemies: None
Mate: None (Interested....but unsure)
Likes: Nature, sweet wine, flowers, quiet moonlit nights to go on walks, celtic songs, classical music, blends involving classical music, reading
Dislikes: Conflict, snobs, being made fun of for her freckles, loud noises, being disturbed, loud and modern music

Not-So-Short Bio: Fiona was just one of seven daughters to a pair of nobels, but she was the youngest, and the most spoiled. She and her sisters were brought up in high-class society, surrounded by finery and propriety. She learned all social graces and etiquette, adding to her natural charm and sense of maturity. Of course, this was all a farce to conceal her true nature. Spoiled as she and her siblings were, they thought themselves as royalty and became quite haughty and all-too-sure of themselves. As they matured, they became quite saught-after by many gentlemam suitors. Her sisters looked only for the most handsom and richest men, then ran off with them. Soon, only she and her eldest sister, Mina, remained. And then, Fiona fell in love with a man named Johnathan. He gave her so much, and yet she asked so little, professing his love for her with roses and poetry. Imagine her joy when he asked her to marry him. The wedding as all planned and Fiona eagerly awaited for the joyous day. However, a dark cloud loomed overhead.

The day of the wedding, Fi waited for Johnathan at the alter, bedecked in her mother's wedding dress and her cheeks alight with happiness. Minutes passed, and those minutes soon turned to hours. Her father then appeared and told her that Johnathan had eloped with Mina. Fiona was heartbroken. Her parents felt horrible for her loss and, to make up for it, gave her everything that her heart desired, spoiling her almost rotten. Fiona's heart began to harden and turn cold, shunning out everything that didn't have to do with her; even her respect for Nature was beginning to turn sour. Little did she know that her life was about to turn completely around. While she was on a late-night outting with her friends, a band of gypsies surprised the girls with a plan to rob them. Her friends scattered, the strange people following them, all except for one. The leader, a man known as SoulHeart, in a spurr-of-the-moment decision, tossed her over his shoulder and made for their docked ship. Fiona fought him all the way, but his grip did not yield. Soon, she found herself sailing away on a gypsy ship, completely at the mercy of their captain, SoulHeart. No one knew why he had suddenly stolen her away from her home, but something about her caught his eye enough to possess him to bring her along. For many days, they journied throughout the lands surrounding the moores Fiona came from, camping and performing. There were many moments where Fi had the chance to escape, but she chose not to. Something told her that this was for her benefit.

As she travelled with SoulHeart and his band, she began to see that they were quite humble people with a great respect for the Earth and universe. There were many nights where they would sit around the campfire, looking to the skies for signs that the stars and planets would give them. She would watch them say prayers to the trees for providing them with firewood and fruit, as well as many other small ceremonies, performing them with the utmost honesty and respect. Many times they had stopped to free trapped animals, even going so far as to give first aid to those that allowed them to. Although she didn't obviously show interest in their ways, she was silently becoming accustomed to them and doing her own acts of kindness. All this went unnoticed to all but SoulHeart. One night, he took Fiona out on a walk through the forest, pointing out random things to her about himself and his crews adventures, stopping every now and then to remark something about their surroundings. Eventually, she tired of his ramblings and told him that the universe didn't revolve around him and that he should be more respctful and attentive towards Nature and the wonders that he seemed to be missing. At that moment, he smiled and told her that her lesson was complete. Finally, it all clicked; SoulHeart had brought Fiona along to help her re-learn respect for the Earth and help her heal her broken heart. He knew she was suffering from within.

Soon after, they returned to her home in the moores and SoulHeart let her go free. Fiona thanked him profusely and swore an oath to him that she would never forget what she was taught. He merely smiled and they were soon gone from sight. Fiona returned home to her parents and was received with a warm, tearful welcome. Her parents quickly saw that she was not the same girl that had left them two months ago, but she was now a wise young woman, her mind and heart open to the world. Two years later, Fiona left her home on a mission; to search her soul until she found her true happiness. Tearfully, her parents set her free and since then, she has grown tremendously in wisdom and her inner beauty now glows with vibrance.

Levi feels: "It can't be her....it just can't be...."
RP available?: Yes

Name: Levi
Age: 22
Orientation: Generally straight, but willing to explore
Siblings: Only child. Grateful for it.
Aquaintances: Sayeh
Friends: None
Enemies: None
Mate: None....I just can't...
Likes: Music, reading, quiet time, quiet starlit nights, hot cocoa and pop-tarts
Dislikes: Complete silence, being alone for too long, death

Not-So-Short Bio: As a child, he was loved by his family for his heavenly voice. As a young man, he was loved by the world for the same.

Growing up, Levi couldn't have asked for more loving and devoted parents. A hard-working and supportive father, a loving and encouraging mother, and indulgence for his passions. Early on it was discovered that he was blessed with musical talent, when his soft angelic voice was heard throughout the halls of his home. His mother wept tears of joy and his father smiled with hope for a bright future. Such were the plans when fine private tutors were hired to expand his musical repitoire and strengthen his talents. In his adolecense, Levi put all of his heart into his passion and was rewarded with the adoration of many, and more that would come in the later years. He doubled in his efforts and soon, his music was heard around the world.

His name was known by all who saw him. Wherever he tred, those who worshiped his voice would shower him with praise and tears, requesting photos and autographs to prove that they had been in his presence. He drank up his fame like ambrosia, bathing himself in the spotlight of glory. Sitting so high upon his pedistal, it would take something of unearthly proportions to bring him down to Earth once more. Such a miracle would come in the form of a girl.

It was a romance that was too quick and too soon. Neither knew what love truly was. Even still, there was devotion in her eyes when she gazed upon him. As he walked the stage, she stood behind the curtains, cheering him on in silence. As he swam through the ocean of fans, she waited for him on an uncharted island. The further he went, the further she'd follow him, and still the distance grew between them. He was so far lost in the world of fame that he often overlooked the girl that walked in his shadow. He sometimes even forgot her name. And though she was hurt and disappointed, she did not leave his side, a fact that he took advantage of. When he was pushed aside by others, he would always go back to her and find acceptance in her embrace, healing his wounds before setting out once more to play the field. And she would wait for him to return to her, not letting her feelings or her problems hold him back.

Levi had always counted on her to be there for him, waiting behind the curtains with a smile of encouragement and love. However, that particular night, her usual place was empty. During intermission, he made a call to her home. No one answered. He tried again, but with the same result. Growing concerned, he called her mother and the news made his heart fall through the stage. A deadly illness, which she had lived with for years, was finally taking its toll. She was dying and had never told him. She was in her final moments that night. He told her mother to tell her to hold on, for he was on his way. Cancelling everything else, he raced to the hospital where she was being held. When he stepped in to her room, the sound of weeping told him that he had been too late. Her soul had already passed. Looking upon her, he could see that she was smiling. Her mother told him that when she informed her of his approaching arrival, she had smiled and closed her eyes, looking truly happy and at peace.

For the first time in years, he cried openly, kneeling at her bedside. There he remained until his crying put him to sleep. Guilt raged within his heart as he blamed himself for never knowing, for putting himself before her, and for taking advantage of her devotion to him. When all others merely wanted to bask in his light, she would wait for his heart in darkness. Too little and too late, he finally understood what she meant when she said "I love you." Her mother came to him and placed the cross she always wore in his hands, telling him that it was her wish that he have it to remember her by.

The next month, he took his place on the stage for the last time. There, in front of thousands, he stood humbly upon the stage, singing a song of rememberance dedicated to her. Her cross shined in the spotlight and cast the crowd in silence as he sang the things he felt in his heart. When it ended, he faded into the background and was soon lost to the world as a fallen star.

He promised to carry on the memory of her, and to this day he has never forgotten. The cross is the guilt which he bears, etched forever in script upon the silver metal; Roselina.

Roselina feels: "The closer I come to answers, the more questions I find myself asking. Why? Just...why? I should fix his necklace first..."
RP available?: Yes

Name: Roselina
Age: 16
Orientation: Straight
Siblings: None
Aquaintances: Varien (an amazing and intense dancer)
Friends: Varien?
Enemies: None
Mate: Not yet! Honestly!
Likes: Dancing, concerts, flowers, romance novels
Dislikes: Sickness, being alone, being bored

Not-So-Short Bio:A view from backstage; the roaring cheer of the crowd hammered through her ears, even before the curtains were parted. As they were pulled back, the cheering reached a crescendo as he stepped onto the stage. She watched him take the center place at the microphone with practiced grace, raising his hand to signal the band. With a count-off from the drummer, the music began and his smooth, heavenly voice filled the air, drowning out the mass of screaming fans.

A swelling of pride filled her chest as she watched him perform, her heart bursting with a sense of love for the mysterious singer. Beyond his form, her eyes saw bright flashes of light from many cameras. The flashes got brighter and more frequent, until they all but blinded her. Soon, she saw nothing but bright white light.

Her eyes opened to the brightness of the sun shining down through her window, a warm beam focused on her face. An irritated grumble was uttered before she reached up sleepily to pull the curtains down to block out the disturbing light and allow her sight to return. After a moment of seeing spots, she pushed herself to sit upright in her bed, her eyes roaming around her room.

Another one of those dreams. Roselina had been having dreams like that for the past six months. The sounds, the smells, and the lights; they all seemed so real. They almost seemed to real to be mere dreams. The scenery all played out like memories.....except the memories weren't hers. When the dreams had started, her parents sent her to a psychologist to see if they could be analyzed, but even the trained professional was unable to find an explaination for their realism. She event went to see a hypnotist, hoping that such techniques could unlock the secret. The only explaination the hypnosis provided was that the dreams were memories. This explaination only frustrated Roselina, as she repeatedly explained that they couldn't be memories because she never did any of those things, nor did she even know who the mystery singer was. She and her family were left with no answers, and her sleep was continually haunted by the singer and his fans.

In her spare time, Roselina had done her own research. One of her dreams had given her an image of the singers face, however brief it was. It was enough, though, to give her a step in the right direction. She searched through the internet, browsing through hours of fansites and news articles until she found him. His name was Levi Sullens. He had been a young singing sensation a few years back and had performed many concerts around the world. When she opened a file of concert photos, Levi's image matched her dream-singer almost perfectly. Her curiosity roused, she expanded her search to contain as many photos of him as she could find, as well as news about his concerts and appearances. Her mind swelled with all of the information and she thought that her search was finally over.

Her hopes were dashed, however, when she came upon a particular news article; about six years ago, Levi Sullens mysteriously disappeared from the public after his final concert, which was held as a memorial for his girlfriend. The article didn't list her name, at Levi's request to avoid her family being badgered. Since then, no one has seen or heard from him. It was as if he disappeared off the face of the Earth. Roselina groaned in frustration as her hopes of possibly talking to the subject of her dreams could help her figure out what it all meant were put to rest. How could she talk to someone who had all but disappeared?

In the end, Roselina was left with questions unanswered and haunting dreams that showed her memories that she couldn't claim as her own. Alone in her darkened room, she sat there with her head supported by her hands, her soul disturbed and longing for answers that she believed would never come.

Sheila feels: "I hope this curse of mine does not become a tool for abuse.."
RP available?: No

Name: Sheila
Age: 18
Orientation: Straight
Siblings: None
Aquaintances: Mercury, Polie, Stefan, Joe (Don't ask how that happened), Loki (We have a date!......I think *blush*)
Friends: Friends in my position? You're kidding, right?
Enemies: Everyone
Mate: I'm not allowed, so it won't happen
Likes: Fresh fruit, sunbathing, napping, shiney things, freedom of speech
Dislikes: Boredom, being silent, my job

Bio: Sheila may be a 'mutt', but she is proud of her heritage....and not because of her species. Sheila's parents were both honest, hard-working people that put their very best efforts forward in everything they did. They had pride in their work, but showed great humility. These values instilled in their general life, they did not need to teach Sheila of them, for it was simply natural. Things seemed truly bright for the small family....until tragedy would suddenly strike....literally.

During a rather fierce storm, Sheila's father, a carpenter by trade, was called to help reinforce rooftops and cut down tree branches to help avoid damage. Whilest attempting to sheer a tree of its topmost branches, he met with a lightning bolt and never returned home. Her mother now widowed, both she and Sheila had to work extra hard to make sure they could survive.

Through it all, Sheila kept her head held high and grew up to be a strong young woman; willful, passionate and a good head on her shoulders.....or so it seemed. Always the competative type, it wasn't out of character for Sheila to end up in a drinking contest with a random man she met up with at the local pub. Always one to make bets, it wasn't unlike her to place down high stakes (however inebriated when they were set.) Sheila lost, but wouldn't take it lying down. Rather than complying with the original agreement, she slapped the man and insulted him. He revealed himself to be a mage and cursed her, binding her to a seal that would force her to be obedient to whoever took it upon themselves to make demands of her. She demanded he remove the curse, to which he drunkenly explained that it could only be lifted if she were to break her pride. He disappeared after giving the cryptic answer and she has never seen him since then.

Sheila kept this hidden from her mother, who was ailing badly. Within a couple of years, she passed away, leaving Sheila on her own. The young woman took jobs where she could find them, eventually becoming employed as a household servant to a wealthy family. Many times her curse came into play, but luckily it was of no consiquence, as the demands made to her were only those of housework. However, the patriarch's young son noticed her aparant inability to refuse her commands, or even hesitate. However much she hated it, she always complied. The son began making demands of Sheila, forcing her closer to him to a point that he thought he could take advantage of her. It almost worked, except that Sheila's strong willpower momentarily broke her free of his grasp just long enough for her to run away from him. Without hesitation, she left her job and decided to invest what money she had to travel as far away from those that could know of her curse as possible.

Shortly after arriving to the more urban parts of Gaia, she met up with Yaruka, to whom she told her story. Yaruka took sympathy for her and offered her a place to stay amongst her family, promising that she would do what she could to help remove her curse and make sure that no one could take advantage of her.

But.....Yaruka can't always be there. How long can she last until someone figures it out and decides to use it against her?

Yaruka feels: "As he grows, my heart heaves a heavy sigh. I cannot hold on forever. My baby...."

Bio: Yaruka's life has been a web of lies and sorrow, and yet she still stands.

For the first part of her life, she lived with her parents; a human and a fire nymph. For most of her childhood, Yaruka was thought of as a normal girl until her powers erupted in an angry blaze that set the villiage on fire. She was run out, banished from her home and turned into a thieving urchin in order to get by. She visited her parents in secret often and they would help her in any way they could. They, too, were ostracised by the villiagers for the menace they had created. Still, they loved her. When she turned 13, she went for a visit to her parents and found them dead, slain by the villiagers. Horrified, she used her pyrokinetic abilities to set the villiage on fire once more...only as a warning.

Events happened throughout Yaruka's life, as she grew in wisdom and knowledge, and they eventually would lead her to a point where she would be taken in as a slave. In the market, she met a fellow slave and fell in love. Their days in the market went by and soon, she met up with Jorend, a hybrid infant who had been abandoned by his mother. Yaruka took him in and took care of him, even as the threat of being sold was always in the horizon. His true mother came back for him and Yaruka begged and pleaded for the baby to be returned to her. Eventually it was granted and Jorend remains with her to this day.

While in captivity, she met one of her lovers old lovers; a man known simply as Phoenix. He was a vampire......and she noticed that she and he looked very similar. Eventually, she learned that her slain parents were not her true parents. Phoenix was her father and her mother was an annonymous phoenix that she never learned the name of. Horrified by this, her lover ran away from her, unable to bear the thought of being near her. Her father disappeared and Yaruka escaped from the slave market in an explosion of emotional turmoil with Jorend in her arms.

Having run far away from that place, Yaruka has since made a home for herself and the many charges she has taken in. Jorend has grown and Yaruka now longs to find her father and repay him for ruining her life. She also is trying to find her estranged mother, looking desperately for any record of her.
