Welcome to Gaia! ::

Can do! XD Just not used to, y'know, actually having legal power in the Guild. I never want to step on any toes or anything. x3

Bhel
Guardian: Asahi Kumoru
Fa'e #: 45
Mythbase: Aurochs/Bull-God (Prehistoric)
Powers:
Incredible strength
Weather prediction - more accurate than any computer model ;D
Weather control - Bhel will be able to turn storms in their paths and essentially direct them as he pleases when he fully masters this, but he's not like Storm from X-men in that he cannot create a storm from nothing. It must come from somewhere. It is also not wind control, it is more moisture control - Seris and Huris drew Teshub's chariot of storms, and the Bull of Heaven was drought in animal form.
NPCs:
Anu/a**s, the god who, in Babylonian mythology, created the Bull of Heaven, and in Hurrian mythology was the father of Teshub. Teshub, the Hittites' and Hurrians' storm god. Seris and Huris, the two bulls who drew Teshub the storm god's chariot in Hittite and Hurrian mythology. Gilgamesh of Babylonian legend. Also, Mithras, but specifically the one related to Mithraism. There is another Iranian Mithra/Mitra who may or may not be related; I'm working on finding everything I can on who they both are and what the differences, if any, are. Ping me with any concerns about this, either on AIM or Gaia.
Restricted Features/Powers:
Bhel is two things. The ancient bull as a master of celestial forces, and the ancient bull as an embodiment of masculinity. I'm not going to reserve these entirely to myself, but if you're thinking about something along those lines, let me know and we can chat? (( read: Kumo loves plotting ))

Otherwise, I would like to keep the (future) ability to cause deluges of rain or withhold them to remain Bhel's and Bhel's alone.

Mortimer
Guardian: Kochikens
Fa'e #: 31
Mythbase: Anzu (Babylonian/Sumerian)
Powers: Currently, they are:
Arrows of any form cannot hit him. They just bypass him completely, go around him. Arrows is a very vague term, but essentially, anything with a pointed tip that's shot out. This does not include spears. Arrows.
Speaking with rocks. Morty can speak with rocks. It's complicated. Don't ask.
Amazing strength. He is a complete tank. Seeing as his other powers are rather useless, his main power is this incredible strength. It's never been tested to the full extent, so he couldn't tell you just how strong he was.
Scales. The scales under his fur are the equivilant to, "11 plates of armor". Whatever that means to you, it means to him. The scales thickness depends on how much fur in in that certain area. I.E., on his chest fur poof the scales are way thick. Inner ears? Not so much.
NPCs: Elil, Ea, Ninurta, Ereshkigal, Aruru kinda
Restricted Features/Powers: Talking to rocks. Auto anti-arrow system. Nothing appearance wise, but no obvious copies, please. Feel free to use his individual parts, as I know he's a big collaboration of a lot of different traits and I can't claim a single one. But if you take maybe.. like.. scales+fur, or something, that's too obvious. ):


Also, as a note, Mortimer is Anzu, and Anzu is what other religions based the 'griffin' on. I don't mind if you do the griffin thing, if you do it from some mythology other then Babylonian, Mesopotanian, or Sumeranian (As each of those have Anzu) but don't rip off his looks. Also, Anzu is also referred to as the 'Roc'. You know, final fantasy? Just please, if you use the Roc, don't use those three cultures to base it off of, and take a different appearance.

Yin already has this ability, but I don't see a problem with restricting it so that no one else can have it.

For Mikhail! heart

Guardian: Meepfur
Fa'e #: 46
Mythbase: Archangel Uriel (Judeo-Christian)
Powers: Mik has a kind of 'zoom' vision/farsight. If he concentrates hard enough, he can see something going on further away - like having binoculars, a scope on a gun, etc. It has got some downsides, but that's the basic gist of it.

He can set flame to something he's physically holding - if he drops it/puts it down/lets go for whatever reason, most things will go out again...unless it was actually flammable in the first place and he really did catch it on fire.

The final thing is that he can amplify and throw his voice. Also, the writing under his eye is a very minor sort of protection symbol, with an effect similar to a cross on something Damned like a vampire. Might get itchy when one is close? But again, a pretty minor thing.
NPCs: Archangels - as many as 11, any of whom I'd be happy to share as NPCs if someone needed them.
Restricted Features/Powers: The specific script under his eye, the Hebrew characters 'aleph, lamed, daled.' If someone else wants it and has a good reason for it, that's cool with me, just as long as they find somewhere else to put it (and preferably in a color other than gold).

(As a note for fellow guild maintainers!) Everything up to this point has been updated.

Guardian: Shishi
Fa'e #: 33
Mythbase: Tezcatlipoca/Quetzalcoatl (Aztec)
Powers: Xo is a product of balance, being "influenced" by two Gods whose powers are equal and opposite, so her powers, while she remains composed as such, are pretty minimal. Xo DOES have a sense of innate truth - not the ability to mindread, but the ability to know when she is being lied to. This extends far beyond just interactions with people, and actually applies to certain toys and television shows; she has what borders on an inability to suspend her disbelief. This stems from an outside source, so it is unaffected (and does not affect) her crucial balance.


NPCs: Primarily Mictlantecuhtli and Mictecacihuatl, the king and queen of the underworld. Also Huehuecoyotl, Coyolxauqui, Tlaloc, and Coatlique, among a lot of other minor underworld dieties.

I do want to stress that a great deal of the story that drives Xo and Naolin is that they are the two sole "survivors" of a great faith crisis, so unless something can be worked out in painstaking detail with the two of us, X and I would appreciate it if the Aztec mythbase was left alone at this point. This is not a matter of the unfair claim of an entire mythbase; the material is actually quite limited and two characters from a relatively small mythbase seems pretty well covered, with all the other options there are out there. Any more than this would be quite saturated, so like I said, it'd be well appreciated if it was let alone.

Restricted Features/Powers: Feather or rainbow hair and prominent jaguar spots (please talk to me personally if this last is important to you). The innate truth thing is pretty much Xo's only power, so I'd appreciate it if that was left alone as well.
