Welcome to Gaia! ::

History
Born from an elven mother and an human father, the twin's life started rather roughly - they were forced to live with their father when the couple was separated, and the twins have no recollection of their mother howsoever - and have never been allowed in the elven lands, thanks to their status as halflings. They did not lack in love and care, however - their father did the best he could with what fate they had been given. The children did not have much, and they were never rich, but they were happy, and for their father, it was all that mattered.

The elven blood in their veins made the twins predisposed to magic - Cameron was expected to grow up to resemble his father and become a mystic knight - a physical fighter that imbued their blades with magic. Cadance was expected to become a white mage, to be sheltered and protected like the fragile elves.

Well, those who had been so happy to trace a path for the twins to follow would quickly learn an important lesson - the Desmond twins were just as bullheaded as their father, and also quite disinclined to stick to expectations unless they wished to do so.

The older Cadance got, the more it became obvious that she took more from her father - she had the shortness of an elf, certainly, but not the delicateness. She played rough and though with the others boys and became her brother's protector from a young age.

But one way, she saw a large shape streak through the sky, and her whole world changed. From the moment she laid eyes on her uncle- the knight, and his dragon, she had sworn to herself that she would become the first female dragoon in generations. This was her fate, and she would let no one tell her that she was wrong. Still, it would not be before she was 10 years old that she managed to sneak on her uncle's dragon to the Draconis Valley, the place where dragons laid their eggs, and the place where hatchlings bonded with their chosen. Her uncle was furious when he realized that he had a stowaway on board, but his dragon refused to turn back, in spite of his master's orders.

The reason became clear when the red dragon was reunited with his mate - their sole surviving egg hatched, and bonded to Cadance immediately. The male dragon had sensed the girl to be his son's chosen, and allowed her on board to assure the survival of the sole egg that had made it to term. From there on, there had been no other choice - Cadance became the first female dragoon in generations, as she had always claimed, and was trained by her uncle.

The family weathered Gehenna the best they could, but her uncle's dragon - and thus, her uncle herself - succumbed to the week of plague. He gave her his spear as his last wish, making her a full-blown dragoon rather than a trainee. The twin's father died to War, and from that point on the twins wandered, doing whatever they could to get by.

But eventually, they got very, very lost... And the landscape that they saw no longer matched the landscape of Terra.

Homeworld - Terra
Terra is a world of low technology and high-fantasy, inspired from the early Final Fantasy games in general. Magic exists but is mostly wielded by the elves, and likewise humans are physical fighters more than not. The two races exists in an odd relationship - there is a shaky respect in between them, through they will band together if they realize that they have no other choice. The elves consider their bloodline sacred, and do not take well to halflings - they had seen as aberrations and banished to live with their human parent at best - and to certain death at worst. The dragons mostly keep to themselves, beside the chosen few that choose to bond to humans.

Terra has one sun and two moons - one silver and one golden. It has four seasons, through the winters tend to be mild and quick, rarely lasting more than two months.

Dragon Knight
The dragon knights are renowned for both their agility and their strength - traits that they are told to take from their bonded dragons. The bond in between knight and dragon is unbreakable once it is formed, and the death of one also means death for the other. Legends say that dragon and knight come to share one single soul once bonded, but there is nothing proving such a claim for sure.

Dragoons fight with spears, giving them the range they need to fight on dragon back - they are also known for their ability to leap high in the air and position themselves to fall right on top of their enemy. Dragoons wear armor fashioned from the scales of their dragons, be it those that are shed as they grow, or those freely given once the dragon has reached adulthood. It it deeply insulting to a dragon for their knight to wear armor not made of their scales unless it is a matter of emergency - as they believe that nothing will protect their chosen as well as they possibly can.

Cameron Desmond
Gender : Male
Age : 21
Race : Half-Elf (Aoide)
Height : 5'4, built very much like an elf would be.
Hair : Natural redhead, long hair left loose
Eyes : Purple

Patron Deity : Tajnevaki (Mystery)

With realization, comes clarity. With clarity comes control.

Cameron is not quite the man he used to be. Still more restrained and even-tempered than his sister, but where he was once nervous and uncertain, the man stands confident and animated with a sense of purpose that was not there, before. He remains calm and even-tempered, hard to provoke and eager to listen - and most of all, help.

He is a great deal more outgoing than he used to be. Where Cameron used to shy away from most human contact, he now seeks it out actively. He is also a great deal more michevious than he used to be - laughter is the best medicine, after all, and sometimes one need to ruffle some feathers to make things happen.

Cameron has embraced his role of teacher and guide with open arms - and wants little more than to help others. His temper does have it's limits, of course, and the results tend to be particularly explosive if one manages to reach the end of it.

He does tend to be somewhat cryptic and unclear - but given the god he serves, it is not completely unexpected. He no longer makes too much of an attempt to truly make sense. Maybe he is crazy, after all.

And he enjoys every second of it.
