Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ryu saw one disgruntled officer begin to stand and ran his right hand down his left arm sending a mass of sparks towards the man. When they touched the man, a giant plume of flames rose up around the man.

The bullet lodged directly in Ryu's right shoulder while he quickly spun to see where the bullet had come from.

Mell heard Serena screaming from outside. She wondered if she should run in to check, but now she could see Steve's torn up body surounded by animals on the corner. 'whats wrong?' she did her best to send the mental message to Serenas spirit, but after a long silence, she began to wonder if it even worked.

The man who shot the bullet wakled out around the corner towards Ryu. "Hello, my name is James Violot, and I am here on an official mission." he held out his free hand for Ryu to shake it...?

"Heh..." He replied and drew back his hand. "If you surender, htne Ill let you live, if not, well i dont prefer to resort to violence."

"I thought you didn't like violence?! Just surrender subject 0523!" He ran to the side.

"hmmph..." the officer withdrew his gun again. and pointed at a pile of dead bodies. They rose to their former selves and began to shoot at Ryu. Their heads bobbed against their chest like zombies.

((new person!))

Name: Daisuke Nashitawa (Dai for short)
Age: 19
Element: Electricity (includes Technology)
Pic:

Weapon of choice: Kusanagi (grass katana)
Bio: His dad was a soldier, his mom an elementalist, the rest was history in the making. They fell in love, it was forbidden, but love nonetheless.
He grew up always hiding his powers, he was allowed to train only with his mother and show no one else about it. He grew up carefree and normal like all the other children without powers, the only difference was that he was always smarter than most. Being popular wasn't so bad either. But he wanted to travel the world. At that time, his city was paranoid of the elementalists, and refused to allow any humans freedom to leave unless it was strict military business. So he decided to join the army, not knowing what was coming. Upon figuring out that his job was to kill his own kind, he was shocked. No one knew about that and he wanted out. but being one of the most intelligent officers in his regime, they didn't allow him. So he just stays in the down low, waiting for a chance to escape the god forsaken army.
Other: he is a wiz at technology and carries his computer with him at all times.

Daisuke walked out of the alley way that he had hidden from. the first few minutes of the battle were brutal. he was trying to look like he was fighting when really he was trying to find a place to hide. he refused to remove his kusanagi from its blade because he didnt want to fight his own kind. He was interested and astounded by the level of abilities these elementalists had. And he had also realized that it would slowly become a giant slaughter. So he hid in the alleyway, waiting to come out, hoping that this was his one chance of escaping. He held his gun ready and his sword on his back.
"what a mess." he said looking at the torn up bodies of the soldiers, some duplicates, others, not so.
He was about to turn the corner when he spotted officer James talking to someone. with a quick reflex action, he spun around, back against the wall and peered over at the conversation that was soon turned into a battle.

((lol, i know the dude who made your picture. i think im friends with him on deviantart. smile btw, Daisuke is in a soldier's uniform if you forgot.))

Daisuke fixed his soldier's hat on his head, covering up his blonde hair. When he was a child, it was short and spikey, but after he joined the regime, he grew it out longer and it no longer stood up all apikey, but faced downward. He fixed up his jacket as well as re-adjusting his gun holister for a better reaction time.
"what's he doing here?" he said to himself, talking about James.
