Gender: Male
Age:21
Height: 6'3
Weight: 160 lbs
Profession: Assassin, thief, mercenary.
Class: Nature mage, shapeshifter
Job: Current Captain of the F.R.R.

Appearence:
Eyes-Golden with a slit pupil.
Hair-Short and blue-black
Skin-Bronze

Appearence:
Wolf uses his nature magic and shapeshifting abilities to enhance his physical capabilities. Wolf possesses a fox's ears and tail, as well as a wolf's sense of smell and fangs. Wolf's nails can be easily extended into claws and when he is under pressure this is often automatic. When in danger or panicked Wolf also extends large six inch dew claws from the sides of his fore arms and the sides of his calves.

Attire:
Romani Sunglasses to shade his sensitive eyes from sunlight and loose black pants are Wolf's usual attire. He also wears at all times a spiked collar and fingerless gloves, each glove and the collar are actually strong wards used to keep two seperate curses from slowly killing him. The collar or gloves may be removed on occasion by Wolf but intense pain quickly follows and after replacing the item it takes up to an hour for him to regenerate any damaged tissue. The curse on his wrists takes the form of a burn that spreads across his body slowly, while the curse on his neck takes the form of an infection that makes his veins stand out and become black, it is unknown what occurs if the infection reaches his heart or brain but death is assumed. Wolf also at times wears a black shirt that is actually a cover for one of his special weapons.


Weapons:

Chains: Wolf actually has two special chains that are made out of steel and materials from his own body, as such he can actually absorb the chains into a point just above his tail bone and distribute the minerals throughout his skeletal structure, due to this ability the chains are always present with him. He normally wraps the chains around his torso and shoulders and uses cotton seeds in conjunction with his earth magic to make the chains mimic a shirt.

Quarterstaff: Wolf also possesses an ornate quarterstaff with a solid steel core tipped with a hidden blade. Wolf often uses his magic to warp the quarterstaff and reveal the blade while attacking. As of late Wolf has also taken to hiding various blades within the wood of the staff.

Seeds: Wolf keeps a large variety of seeds on his person, using his magic he can cause them to grow and use them for a wide range of purposes. They serve as traps, sentries, tea leaves, and weapons. (I will try to make a catalogue tonight for the seeds.) To change the seeds he carries or replenish them he must either A) return to his home, or B) Spend several hours growing the plant cross polinating it, and harvesting the seeds. Depending on the plant there may be dangers in option B.

Other: Wolf does have some training with a variety of other weapons which he wields from time to time in order to better himself with them, his specialties however are: 1. Staff 2. Sword 3. Bow and 4. Knives in that order.

Abilities:
1. Nature magic (main focus is earth): (Meld with earth and manipulate plants, earth, and some metals.)
2. Shape shifting (Capable of altering his form to grant himself animal attributes or actually become other animals.)
3. Accelerated healing. (By altering his metabolism or increasing rate of mitosis or using plant cells in place of his own and converting them into his cells. Requires large amount of energy.)

Earth: Can manipulate plants cells to grow at an exponential rate, can alter the density of stone, dirt, or plants. All of this is using his aura which can be stretched out to cover a wide area. The range is limited though he may use mediums to extend it. (Normal mediums are his chains, and bodily fluids such as blood.)

Shape shifter- Is Wolf's species and he can alter his form to become any animal that weighs between one pound and 800 pounds. He must have studied the anatomy of an animal in order to become a true duplicate and be capable of similar activities. (IE: To fly as a bird, breath water as a fish, have venom as a snake, etc.) If he has not studied it he can look like it but would find it hard to move or even live.

Accelerated healing- Uses his shape shifting to accelerate healing by either a) Boosting his metabolism or b) causing the flesh or bone to reknit as it is altered or lost and replaced by assuming another form, or c) uses plant matter to replace the cells and converts it into his own cells.

Weaknesses- Weak against fire (burns take much longer than normal wounds to heal and sometimes it's quicker to cut off burned flesh and heal.), Mentally unstable (Seems calm but is actually a sociopath that seems bipolar at times), multiple personalities (In the past Wolf's soul was fragmented and each portion had a personality. He is now soulless and only himself), psychologically scarred (certain terms or stimulus like burns cause varied reactions from turning him to a berserker, to making him run away, to making him unemotional. Reaction to stimuli varies). Sound (Due to his heightened senses, he is weak to strong high pitched sounds unless he ceases shapeshifting.)

Strengths: Earth, Electricity (because he can easily ground himself), and Soul based attacks.(His soul has been stolen.)

Resistant to: Mind magic (Due to the presence of so many other conciousnesses for so long, Wolf has developed strong natural barriers for his mind. He also has been conditioned to be an assassin and not broadcast his thoughts.) Strong psychics can break his barriers but rarely without alerting him.

Neutral: Empathy, Water, Wind, Light, Dark, Etc.

Seed catalogue:
Webseeds: There are two versions of this seed, the seeds at first glance appear to be sticky black dots, once they grow however translucent vines grow outward until the sticky ends touch something at which point they stick. The vines are filled with a fluid that is either acidic or basic depending on the breed. The acid is hydro-floric which is capable of eating away anything not made of plastic, wax, or denser than lead. The basic form has a base very similar to lye filling it. The flower for this plant is rarely seen and only forms at the center of many vines. The vines however are hollow and can be easily snapped by the slightest pressure when not actually growing.

Sentry shrieker: These plants grow from seeds the size and shape of sunflowers, once fully grown they appear as a six inch stem with three to five off shoots at the top that are small droopy vine like leaves with ball like ends. The stem of the plant is actually filled with several chemicals that when mixed become highly pressurized. Bumping into the stem or stepping on it causes the chemicals to mix and the pressure makes the stem twist. When the stem twists it has an effect like a rubberband and spins rapidly back and forth causing the ends to whip through the air producing a high pitched shrieking sound. Once disturbed the sentry plant will continue spinning back and forth with only two second intervals of silence for twenty minutes or until cut.

Bomb seed: This seed also has two forms, the first form is a normal bomb and the second has thorns attached for a claymore mine effect. These cantaloupe sized seeds have a single flower with brilliant red, orange, and purple patterns on it that produces a honey like scent as it begins to open. The flower's center is hollow as is the stem that connects it to the seed. When the flower blooms, the colors and scent are designed to confuse, distract, or draw an enemy in. Once fully bloomed oxygen moves down the hollow stem from the bud to the core of the seed which is filled with white phosporus. The resulting combustion makes the seed explode shooting fire and in the case of thorn bombs shrapnal in all directions.

Standard plants: Roses, vines, poison ivy, etc. Any naturally occuring plant that seems useful at the time will be grown at an accelerated rate and used as a distraction.

Name: Derrek Zahron
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 23
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 110 lbs

Appearence: Derrek has dark brown hair and one blue eye and one green eye. There's no particualr story behind why his eyes are different colors. He was just borh that way, as some people are. He is fairly short and thin. While there is some muscle on his bones, he is not heavy set by any stretch of the imagination. His skin is moderately tanned.


Outfit and Equipment: He wears a green sleeveless tunic. and brown pants. Derrek has wrapped his arms in cloth from his hands to around the mid-upper arm. Around his waist, he has slung several heavy steel chains. This makes it fairly hard for him to move anywhere without making noise unless he removes them. Over all of this Derrek wears a black cloak with silver runes lining the edges of the sleves and the hem.

The cloth bandages he wears around his arms are actually magical items. They are each controlled by a spirit which follows Derrek's orders. These were given to him as a focus during his time at the magical academy where he trained. They give the cloth unnatural strength and durability. They are as hard to cut as steel and may unwrap from Derrek's arms to aid him in preparing a spell or fighting off an opponent.


Personality: Generally, Derrek is in a good mood. Not much really seems to get him depressed. Furthermore, he treats most things casually, rarely getting worked up over situations. Naturally, this can make him fairly difficult to work with when he doesn't seem to realize the gravity of whatever situation presents itself. For all his lighthearted attitude, he hates leaving things half finished and will rarely abandon something in the middle. Furthermore, he is passionate about his studies of magic and magical theory and may withdraw for several days when presented with an interesting text or a magical artifact to study.


Bio: At the far end of the world stands an Academy of Sorcery. This institution was dedicated to the study of the more esoteric branches of magic. Simple elemental control and other more common forms of magic were not often taught here. Instead, there were schools relating to extraplanar research and communication, temporal mastery, and several other schools that benefitted from being located in a remote area. One of these schools was the school of binding, which taught several subjects, including how to bind and capture something. There were many more mephorical and metaphysical forms of binding that the advanced students studied. Much of this research was theoretical, as few ever were elevated to that level of mastery. Derrek was a student of this school. Following his completion of the basic spells and theory classes, Derrek began focusing his magic on the study of binding magics. He was an exceptional student and was near the top of the students of binding when the Academy was destroyed.

In the end, the academy fell not to any army or renegade mage. Instead, its greatest advantage destroyed it. By being located far from any center of civilization, it was easier to deal with pure elements such as law and chaos. Focusing too much raw power like that in one place often spells disaster, as it did here. The academy was destroyed when a particularly potent batch of elemental chaos was freed and began to wreck havoc on the grounds. Derrek ran for his life as the school was consumed by fired that obeyed no natural laws. Stone burned while wood was left untouched and metal melted and dripped upwards. It has been three months since the academy was destroyed. Derrek has no idea how many survivors there were, but has begun to make the most of the situation by going out into the world to make a living and to hone and develope his magical skills.

Name- Sarah
Race- Human
Gender- Female
Age- 15
Weight- 115lbs
Height- 5'5"


Appearance:
(Just like the picture. Oh, I'm so imaginative and inventive. xd Don't worry, there will be a paragraph here eventually that depicts in detail what you see above with your eyes. You know..just cause'.)

Personality: Sarah is usually quiet, taking her time to think everything over. This should not fool people though, for she is energetic. Often she is nice to people, even strangers, and is quick to smile. On the rare occasion that she becomes angry, she often simply tries to move away from the situation and cool down. Despite being one of KB's devoted followers, she has a strong sense of humanity and often tries her best to do the right thing.

WoC: Sarah avoids physical conflict whenever possible. Thus, she carries no weapon. Instead she relies on the constant protection of her guardian, Morren.

Abilities: Though only 15 years old, Sarah has already shown a natural gift for the magical arts. Never being passionate or violent enough for the agressive elemental magic, and finding herself bored with the seers, she turned to portal magic. She found that it fit her like a glove, and since her first taste of it, has devoted herself to the perfection of it. Creating a simple portal is easy for her, and doesn't take much concentration. Her skills are not perfect however, and KB is often too busy to personally train her.

BIO: Reserved to be found IC.

Name: Raven

Race : Shape shifter
Gender: Male (apparently)
Age: Unknown
Height: Variable, (often around 6 feet.)
Weight: Variable, (Average is 160 in human form.)
Profession: Trickster
Class: Shape shifter, Earth mage
Job: Sowing Dissent.

Appearance:
Eyes-Variable (normally red, black, and gold with no iris.)
Hair-Variable (Usually short and black)
Skin-Variable (Sun bronzed)

Appearance: Raven uses his shape shifting to take on a variety of forms, including those of anything whom he has drank the blood of. While he may take on superficial characteristics at will he may become a perfect imitation of anything he drinks the blood of. His eyes are normally alternating stripes of red, black, and gold unless he hides them with special lids that alter their appearance. However his eyes will always show true in a reflection. Generally however he shape shifts on whim to alter his appearance.

Attire: Variable, usually dresses in black flowing clothing in order to hide the shape of his body when fighting. His clothing is created through a combination of shape shifting and earth magic.

Weapons: Variable, most often his own body and when possible bladed weapons. His favorites are swords and knives which are used in his 'blade dances' but he may be capable of using other weapons in them as well. Usually Raven uses bone blades from his own body for his dances but the full effect is only observed when he uses steel.

Abilities:
1. Shape shifting: Extreme (he is capable of taking a variety of forms including hybrids of his own thoughts.
2. Earth magic: Possesses earth meld, and can manipulate plant matter he or his blood is in contact with.
3. Perception: His unique vision allows him to see in a variety of spectrums at the same time. This allows him to perceive many actions in multiple perspectives in order to discern the actual purpose.

Weaknesses: Unknown at the moment due to his mercurial nature and habit for acting especially when stressed. The more pressure or pain that Raven feels the more he acts and alters himself to seem unaffected. This tends to make it difficult for people to discern what bothers him and what doesn't.

Strengths: Unknown, it is however easily observable that he has complete contempt for soul based attacks.

Fighting style: A hybrid of music, dance, perception, and flexibility of form. Raven's blade dances are only respected by those that face them.

Name: Hidjie
Age: 28
Race: Humanoid
Weapon(s): Hidjie's main weapon is the strange way of talking he seems to possess. While not dangerous, or in any way mystical, he does have a way of talking that seems to make danger simply go away.
Abilities: Hidjie's abilities do not extend beyond the bare minimal of training. He is not overly strong, nor is he a great wizard. His gifts lie elsewhere. Being very charasmatic, Hidjie is one of the sort who talks his way into trouble and talks his way right back out.
Magic: As stated earlier, Hidjie's only understanding of magic is just barely enough to impress the ladies. A rose crafted deftly of strands of fire or ice. Or perhaps a gentle breeze to make his golden hair dance in the moonlit night.
Weakness: Hidjie's main weakness, and perhaps one that may not seem so sever, is his absolute, unadulterated, love of all things women! Be you a vampire, lycan, human, or elf. Hidjie is more than likely to make a pass, or twelve, at getting you into bed. Also, his less severe weakness is the fact that Hidjie is a lover, not a fighter, and will probably be beaten in by anyone with enough power to light a candle without burning themselves.
Strength(s): Hidjie's strength is his words. His whimsical voice can make even the coldest of women melt. And a smile is good enough to turn any woman's scowl into a fitful giggle.
Resist(s): Being easily swayed by a woman's voice, Hidjie is easy prey for a seductress, however. Because he was manipulated in the past he has developed a sixth sence for being twisted. Because of this he is not as likely to fall for the occassional psychic trick.
