02.USER
Name: Reiner Dressler
Age: 24
Magic Affinity: Wind(Air?) magics ((honestly this is one of the shakiest parts of the application. comments and critiques would be greatly appreciated!)
Appearance: Hair color: Black
Eye Color: Green
Height: 188 cm
Weight: 65 kg
Reiner was always rather lanky. Although he played sports and worked outdoors, he could never bulk up like the other boys in town. So despite his frail-seeming frame, Reiner is still capable of using swords, but prefers daggers and lighter weapons. Reiner is surprisingly agile, having spent much time wandering the forest and keeping active.
Although his eyes suggest a disinterest in most things, he's actually quite perceptive. He tends to wear clothing that is light and easy to move in.
Personality:
The good: Reiner is an extremely fair person. He listens to both sides of the story before he begins to make a decision. His fairness and honesty have earned him the respect of many of the townspeople and his peers. Even from childhood, he has been inquiring and quick to learn. If he can stay focused on the task at hand, he is a hard worker. He is skilled at crafts where he can keep his hands busy.
The bad: Just as the wind is apt to change directions, Reiner is apt to change his course of actions…making him seem fickle or indecisive. He isn't one to act right off the bat, so many people that are impatient sometimes grow even more irritated while around him. His thirst for adventure has ended up getting him in some tight situations before, and a couple of times he has had near death encounters.
When dealing with him: Although there are times where he isn't responding, please don't think he isn't listening. If someone comes to him with a problem, he wants to seriously consider all the options before giving his advice. Words do have weight to them after all, right?
Hobbies: Whittling figures, Metalwork, Exploring new parts of the forest, Dancing, Enjoying the view from high up places, Drinking.
History: Before the sundering, the Dressler family was part of a nomadic group. They made their way from town to town selling crafts and wares, telling stories and sharing dances with the locals. Although it was a time of war, the clan had always found enough for a comfortable life. That was, until the storms came.
To escape the storms, the Dressler family turned to Mistwick as a safe haven. The Dresslers were lucky enough to lose everything but their lives. Many of the others in the clan were struck down as they made their way to the city. Reiner's grandfather was only 10 when they settled in Mistwick. The family struggled in poverty, but through the kindness of some of the engineers in town, they managed to survive. By time Reiner was born, the family had managed to own some farm lands on the outskirts of town.
As Reiner grew up, he had learned of all the stories from lands now lost to the seas. He and his older brothers would play games with the local kids… they'd dream up stories where they were adventurers searching for the lost civilizations. Although they were told not to, they usually strayed as far as the outskirts of the forest… making sure to be back well before dark. It was probably these games and stories that really caused the wanderlust to settle in the young boy.
When he was finally old enough, Reiner joined the Academy to train as a possible user. It wasn't really the idea of prestige that lured him into the decision, but just the opportunity to go out and possibly see new civilizations with his own eyes. He proved to be a hard worker and graduated from the academy towards the top of his class, despite the fact that his magical abilities were not the strongest or most impressive. By time of graduation from the Academy, Reiner wasn't chosen as one ready to become a User to a guardian, and so he went to look for an apprenticeship in town.
However, none of the jobs lasted long. Soon Reiner find his mind wandering off to another place. When he had free time, he would wander further into the forests for days on end. Jumping from apprenticeship to apprenticeship, Reiner managed to pick up basic skills in a wide range of fields from blacksmithing to engineering to shopkeeping. The only real skills he tried to hone were his archery skills. At the age of 21, an officer took notice of Reiner's marksmanship, and soon after, Reiner took on a job as an apprentice ranger.

03.GUARDIAN
Name: Tyr
Gender: male
Magic Affinity: Fire
Essence/Animal: Chromium / Jaguar
Appearance: Hair Color: Orange
To be honest I don't have any set look for the guy. It would be cool if the spots were incorporated someway... possibly along his left arm or something. However, other than that... I'd like to leave freedom up to the artist.
Personality:
The good: Tyr is a very passionate being. If he believes in a cause, he'll fight tooth nail and claw(?) for it. That makes him a very strong ally to have behind your back. To the things he is loyal to, he remains that way. He's a curious type and tends to enjoy the trips with Reiner out of town. Can sometimes be seen acting independently, but still avoids going too far on his own, in case his User runs into danger.
The bad: Hot headed, proud, stubborn, immature, and impatient. Although his component is made of a hard metal… it hasn't been reflected in his personality. He has a tendency of rushing head first into a decision before fully thinking it through, and sometimes pays the consequences. He's mostly clumsy when it comes to his emotions, but then again, there are many adults that are that way. At least that's how he justifies things.
When dealing with him: Don't get in his way, and don't try to sneak up on him. If you corner him, he'll either flee the site for a while or come out fighting. If you're patient and wait, he'll usually open up himself. He's secretly extremely shy, but masks it with his loud voice and behavior.
Habits: He tends to mimic a lot of what he hears, so he has picked up a lot of colorful language while lounging around the docks.
Hobbies: Sleeping outside, Exploring, and fair fights. Surprisingly, he doesn't mind water, but still prefers not to get too wet because he's worried about the machine parts of his body.
Although he butts heads with Reiner about a wide range of topics, Reiner doesn't seem to mind. In fact, he feels that way they can be honest with each other.

I think that is all I need for this as far as setting up. I have the basic information written, but it is definitely rough around the edges.
Comments and critiques would be greatly appreciated. I've come to realize how poor my writing skills and creativity have become.
