Japi
Avi Details: Wings are optional as she doesn't usually wear them around town, though if you do draw them, note that they actually float behind her instead of being attached. The flower in her hair is subject to an artist's interpretation. It's not that she always wears the same flower, it's really just that she loves flowers and thinks they make everything prettier. The glasses are technically optional as well, but Japi has always liked the way they look. Making the rims thinner is an option. I just picked those because they show up best on an avi. The locket she wears and the ring are very important. The locket was a gift from Lith and the ring is her wedding ring. I
may upload pictures of our actual wedding rings.
Character Details: Japi is a mystic; a powerful sorceress of near goddess status. She can create both matter and souls. She is not all seeing, however. She can only see what she is paying attention to, and has to use certain magical objects to see into other worlds--usually in the form of mirrors, simply because she likes them. These mirrors are also her transport mechanisms, but she actually doesn't travel very often.
She acts innocent and silly, but she's actually very intelligent and has learned a lot in her extended lifetime. But she doesn't actually have much hands on experience at anything. She knows how to do a lot of things, and has a lot of theories on the inner workings of the world, but she's never really lived a normal life, and she certainly has no idea how to raise a kid, let alone two at the same time.
While Japi has many children, but they're not actually biological children, nor did she raise them. They were all her creations sent to other worlds to live the lives Japi could not have on her own. She is in actual contact with several of them, but there are many that do not even know of her existence.
Japi is very morality driven. She believes everything should have a chance to exist, in whatever way they choose. She realizes that sometimes evil has to exist in order for people to understand what good is, but she tries to prevent evil from ever harming those who are innocent.
Japi is a very passionate person. When she is happy, she's really happy! When she's sad, she's really sad... When she's pissed, OMG RUN! But most of the time she's really happy. She also likes to obsess over stuff. It gives her something to do.

xLithanus
Avatar Details: Lith's hair is actually a dark brown, rather than the black shown on his avatar. But black is the only way to get the beard to match. His beard looks like Commander
Riker's beard from Star Trek. Lithanus also wears a
straw hat occasionally. The wraps on his hands and feet are optional. Lithanus carries a Katana and a Wakizashi at his left hip (he's right handed), but those are optional in a couple picture, since they frequently get in the way. The ring on his finger is also a wedding ring. Like before, I may upload the rings. In character, his ring is silver, in real life, his ring is gold. I haven't decided which I prefer yet.
Character Details: Lithanus is Japi's husband, both as the character, and the real guy behind the character.
Lithanus is a good man, a devoted husband and father, and a hopeless romantic. He does little things for Japi all the time. A lot of people have said that they're a sickeningly adorable couple, and he admits, that they're probably right, but doesn't really care either way.
He was raised to be a warrior, a defender of the weak, and a destroyer of evil, but he has developed his own sense of justice in addition to what he was taught. Lithanus has an even stronger devotion to his morals than Japi does. He believes that evil is not inborn but that is a choice that one makes in life. He is ready to defeat that kind of evil at almost any cost, even his own life. But he is a diplomat before violence, trying to convince that person to change, if they will. However, if someone were ever to hurt those he held dear, he would retaliate in cold-hearted violence toward whoever that might be. (They don't get a second chance.)
Luckily, the need for a warrior is not as strong as it used to be, with the exception of occasional invasions of Gaia. His new life has allowed him to be who he really is; a funloving man who cares for his family.
