Welcome to Gaia! ::

No, I can't think of any changes I'd want to make.

Lo and behold, I, that "another player" arrives. I am here with my cadre of characters. Time to get started. Likely, I will begin posting tomorrow in the cloud thread.


Name: Field Sergeant First Class Aemelia Karenth
Gender: Female
Age: 35
Magic?: Aemelia’s magic derives from her plains heritage. She can, from almost any confined space, create a portal to a demi-plane under her control. This is useful for storing many things beyond what normal pockets could hold, as the plane is very large. In order to access it, she simply needs to reach into a confined, concealed place and pull out what she needs. As long as nobody can see into what she reaches into, it can access her plane. There are a few restrictions on what the plane can store. First and most importantly, no living beings may enter the plane. She can’t use it as a trap or a weapon in that way. Second, though depth is not a problem, she cannot pull anything from the plane which is larger than the opening it must go through to get into the real world. For those, she needs to find a bigger portal space.
Appearance: Long black hair bound into a braid reaches down to her upper legs. She takes very good care of her hair and appearance. Her skin is slightly darker than most normal Feretrians. This is as a result of her plainsman ancestor. Her eyes are bright blue, which strikes a sharp contrast with her darker skin and hair. She normally wears fairly nice clothing, designed to be functional should she need to fight as well as look nice. The one defining feature about all of her clothes is that they have many, many pockets and usually long, wide sleeves which can be used to activate her portals on a moment’s notice. She also wears her dress uniform for formal occasions. She carries no obvious weapons, but within her plane, she has a virtual armory stored, and she is educated in the use of many of them.
Personality: Calculating would be the best way to describe Aemelia. She’s a commander and she acts like it. She’s always working on what the best course of action for her and her team would be. To say she is calculating isn’t to say she’s uncaring. Quite the opposite, as she looks after “her girls” carefully, as if they were her daughters. Men, she cares little about. They are slaves that have their uses. Nothing more
History:Aemelia was born in the capital city. Her mother was a minor functionary at the Queen’s court. Aemelia spent much of her youth in the royal palaces, observing the day to day life of those in the high positions. During this time, she caught the eye of a few prominent politicians who would keep an eye on her career for years to come. Once her magic manifested, those around her began encouraging her to take a position within the armed forces. She decided that would be an excellent idea and joined the normal army immediately. It didn’t take long for those who noticed her to find a better use for her. She was plucked from the army and deposited within the ranks of Feretris’ Black Ops. She has continued to serve there with diligence, carrying out orders. Only recently has she risen to the rank where she could give orders herself.

Recently, she and several other members of the Black Ops squadron were sent to keep an eye on the situations with the growing number of raids. Aemelia was not the senior officer on this mission. Once they had almost reached their destination, they received word of another situation requiring the investigation and talents of the members. A dragon, long thought to be a myth, had appeared in a nearby compound. This had, understandably, caused a bit of concern and panic in the area. Combine that with the growing problem of slave violence and escape with the rumored underground movement and something needed to be done. The CO dispatched Aemelia and a small team to set up a command center in the compound and see if there was any substance to those rumors and, if there was, to deal with it appropriately.





Name: Private First Class Merideth Anos
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Magic?: Most female magic of Feretris works by empathically altering the signals of the body to convince the target that something that isn’t true is. These signals can be muddled and manipulated in a variety of ways by this typical magic. Merideth’s is slightly different. She doesn’t alter the signals, she blocks them. Her magic allows her to stop certain signals from reaching the brain. She can’t go to the length others can with affecting emotion, but she can cut vision, hearing, touch, pain, and many other signals that have stimuli going from a part of the body into the brain. She can use this on herself or others as appropriate.
Appearance: Merideth has shoulder length bright red hair. She has brown eyes and stands only about 5’3”. Her face usually shows little emotion and her eyes almost seem to look through a person. She wears some form of army uniform at almost all times, whether it is her Class A dress uniform or just military standard camo shirt and pants. Beneath her clothes is something very few people see. Her body is covered in scars of various shapes and sizes. Since she can cut off her own pain, she tends to fight rather recklessly and her skin shows the result of this. She always wears a belt with two larger fighting knives and an assortment of throwing knives and other ranged attack implements.
Personality: Merideth is, in a word, detached. This isn’t to say she’s unfeeling, just that she maintains a bit of healthy separation between herself and the world around her. She cares more deeply for her teammates than they might know or than she shows. She doesn’t have a whole lot of concern for the plight of the men in the empire, but neither does she care enough to have an opinion on what their rights ought to be. In the end, she is a servant of the system and works to uphold it as such.
History: Merideth’s background isn’t fully known. It is known that she came from one of the Western compounds. It is known also that her mother gave her away for adoption quickly, which means that her birth was probably not sanctioned. She grew up in an orphanage with several other abandoned children. Most of them never developed magic and went on to menial careers that would take them to lives of mediocrity. Merideth was one of the lucky ones who developed not only magic, but a rare, useful form at that. The orphanage alerted the black ops squadron once they learned of her magic. Most orphanages in Feretris have contacts with the military to some extent, so that promising children may be taken and put to use. Merideth was inducted into the Black Ops group and began training shortly thereafter. She is currently the youngest member in the whole program.

Recently, she and several other members of the Black Ops squadron were sent to keep an eye on the situations with the growing number of raids. Once they had almost reached their destination, they received word of another situation requiring the investigation and talents of the members. A dragon, long thought to be a myth, had appeared in a nearby compound. This had, understandably, caused a bit of concern and panic in the area. Combine that with the growing problem of slave violence and escape with the rumored underground movement and something needed to be done. The CO dispatched a team under Aemelia Karenth to set up a command center in the compound and see if there was any substance to those rumors and, if there was, to deal with it appropriately. Merideth was on that team.




Name: Sae Illsin
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Magic?: Sae’s magic continues to confound magical theorists. Though theoretically connected to the emotional control magic of Feretris’ women, its resemblances are far fewer than its differences. Sae may breathe in deeply and, when she exhales, expel a large cloud of colored gas. This gas then coalesces into a being. Magical theorists cannot tell whether or not this is Sae projecting monsters of her mind into the real world, an expulsion of raw feeling in solid form, or something else unknown. What is known is that the beings are not simply anything she imagines. She has a certain number of them that may be sent out or called back, but she can’t suddenly make more. Each of them is names after a personality trait that they seem to identify with. For example, Duty, Valor, Fury, Carelessness, and Hope.
Appearance: Sae is a fairly short woman, standing barely five feet tall. She is thin and not terribly well muscled. In other words, she doesn’t look anything like what you’d imagine a military operative to look like. She has short blond hair which is kept neatly tied back in a small ponytail. She wears a pair of reading glasses almost constantly. She can see without them, but prefers to have them on. Her clothing, when not in uniform, tends towards long dresses. She can move about freely in them, but she doesn’t have as much mobility as her partners. Her skin shows no signs of having anyone in her ancestry from anywhere but Feretris.
Personality: Light and airy. Sae’s a nice girl. She tries to be nice to everyone, even men. She doesn’t agree that they ought to be given status, but she treats them well. She doesn’t have an attitude that seems to favor the sort of missions Black Ops must do. She is completely devoted to all of her allies, including those who are their own entities and those who are tied to her.
History: Sae grew up in a wealthy family. She had anything she could ever want. Expensive meals, plenty of servants, and a manor the size of some small villages. The one thing she really didn’t have were people she could relate to. Her parents would not let her interact with the other children of the compound. So she grew up rather lonely until her magic manifested at the age of five. With her magic, she had as many friends as she wanted. Her typical group of friends consisted of Duty, Devotion, Security, and Joy. These beings do have their own individual minds, so it was like having friends. This was the happiest time of her life. The friends of hers grew as she did. When she turned 21, however, she had a revelation. She realized that something needed to be done to help the world rather than simply sitting in her mansion sipping expensive wine. Thus, she announced her intention to join the black ops, despite her parents’ vehement disapproval. She had enough money and prestige in her name to get in without difficulty. Training was a little harder for her. She failed almost every test and was on the verge of being kicked out until she used her allies to help her along. This unique ability allowed her in with no further testing. As such, she herself is not in the same shape or strength bracket ad the other members, but her magic more than makes up the difference.

Recently, she and several other members of the Black Ops squadron were sent to keep an eye on the situations with the growing number of raids. Once they had almost reached their destination, they received word of another situation requiring the investigation and talents of the members. A dragon, long thought to be a myth, had appeared in a nearby compound. This had, understandably, caused a bit of concern and panic in the area. Combine that with the growing problem of slave violence and escape with the rumored underground movement and something needed to be done. The CO dispatched a team under Aemelia Karenth to set up a command center in the compound and see if there was any substance to those rumors and, if there was, to deal with it appropriately. Sae was on that team.

I've updated the recent history post and the character profiles! (and posted)

Zelyhon, the clouds thread is for you 3nodding I can't wait to see your characters in action against ours! xd

I LIVE! eek

Name: Kayu
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Magic: She can create a protective barrier large enough to protect one person at a time, but she practices to strengthen this power.
Appearance: Kayu has dirty blonde hair that has grown just past her shoulders. She has light blue eyes, and black oval glasses. Her skin is rough and slightly tanned, thanks to her many months of traveling. She has an average build, but is still a little on the thin side. She is 5'7, and weighs about 127 lbs. She prefers wearing comfortable traveling clothes, but nothing revealing. Her favorite accessories are a ring that has always been in her possession, a black hat that is perfect for blocking the sun and rain from her eyes, and her pair of steel-toed shoes.

Personality: Generous, respectful, and trustworthy. Kayu is always willing to help someone in need, and is very protective of the ones she cares for. She is extremely empathetic, but rarely expresses her own true feelings and thoughts. She hates hurting peoples' feelings, and does her best to avoid confrontation. However, this doesn't mean she won't stand up for herself if she needs to. She is not a seasoned fighter, but she knows how to protect herself and others. Kayu is very cautious, but at the same time she is gullible. One of Kayu's few desires in life is for all people to live in happiness. She does not agree with slavery and believes that Feretris rules its subjects unfairly. However, she would not readily take action against Feretris. Her current hobby is studying the forests and learning to make proper shelters with the Kiyap Turea.

History: Unbeknown to Kayu, she suffers from dissociative fugue. She woke up with no memory of her identity, and she has a tendency to wander the world with no particular plan in mind. Everywhere she goes she makes friends, gets to know the area, and continues on her way. She has never been to Feretris, and has only heard rumors about it. For the past month or so she has been resting with the Kiyap Turea. She has been on good terms with all of the Kiyap Turea classes, but she doesn't plan on staying with them for too much longer.

Although it is still a mystery to Kayu, she was born in a Demere tribe. She was the daughter of the tribe's leaders, but Kayu ran when faced with a decision she did not want to make. Kayu has two sisters, and a mother and father who do not see eye-to-eye.

Thanks, I like the changes to your character!

Good luck with your schoolwork! I hope you manage your time well so you don't get too stressed. 3nodding

Name: Alexiel Pantif
Gender: Female
Age: 20-21
Magic: Dragon bonded: Chromatic White, with tendancy towards submission types of magic.
Dragon's Name: Lexore (The Harmless one).

Appearance: Skin: Fair to Pale. Hair: Very light Blonde. Eyes: Piercing Baby Blue.

She has several tribal tatoos including but not limited to: Traditional Wings (across shoulder blades), various designs that mark her place in Anjts society, as well as those that discribe her family heritage. In addition to her tattoos she also has several piercings.

Personality: Seeming to have two different personalities at times, she ranges from Mania to Depression in short weekly to bi-weekly cycles. Other then the obvious insanities, she is a very strong female, acting more dominate that other females in her tribe. She has a strong sence of initiative for physical based actions. Hot tempered, she jumps to conculsions often and tends to hold strong grudges. In the same respect, she can also be very calm, apathetic, and sullen while she is experiencing the depths of depression.

History: A a young age Alexiel's mother had noticed that she had a pattern for violent out bursts followed by periods of dispondancy. At times she seemed very pleasant, and at others extemely wild, but her mother had faith in her, and tried to hide this from outside forces.

However, she was unable to maintain her daughter due to the families economic situation, therefore she was forced to abandon her at the young age of three. Taking her out into the wilderness far south, her mother had hoped she could live a life outside of political extremes and perhaps her problems could be address affectively. Thus, she was adopted by a young woman from the Anjts tribe, who was unable to bare her own children, and she was rasied as her own. Neither of which was aware of the girl's Dragon bond.

At the age of five she began to balance out and seem some what normal, however, unfortunately, she then experienced a mental exchange with her other half, Lexore, at the age of six. Which in turn caused her apparent disorder to only worsen. She attempted to explain the experience to her Anjts mother. Then when her adopted mother attempted to reason with her about her experience, explaining that such an event was impossible, it only fueled her hatred towards the event, causing a downward spiral within her already barely manageable disorder.
