Name: Hazel
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Personality: She is a quiet mage who usually keeps herself to herself
and her talents hidden. She is very patient but does not tolerate
slackers or people who don't pull their weight, but if people honestly
try their best, she is understanding. When she wants to, she can really
take charge of a situation and diffuse it quickly and easily, she is
also a natuarl leader but chooses not to for the now, to see if others
have the potential to lead.
Appearance: Her hair is a chesnut brown and is about mid back length.
She usually wears it in one stout braid or loosely down her back. She

soft brown boots. She walks with a plain wooden staff with runic
markings engraved down the side.
Weapons: magic and her staff.
Element: (unknown)
Powers: some elemental control, glamours and illusions and spell casting
abilities.
Bio: Her parents discovered she was different around the age of three
when strange things began to happen near her. At five years old, she was
sent to be trained so that she would not harm herself. She trained with
learned Mages and other Sorcerors and Wizards and was found to have
natural talents. She easily picked up the spells without much study and
proved to be powerful for her age. She has learnt a lot of things and
tries to keep the fact hidden once she finished her training, as she
knows people fear what they cannot control. She wanders across the lands
just keeping herself to herself and wanting nothing more than to be
accepted for what she is. No one who is close to her knows the real her
and believe her to be a normal person with a gift for simple tricks like
card tricks and juggling acts.

I do not use bios, I feel they degrade from the enjoyment of roleplay. Thus, all I shall say here is that I am here - I am Professor of Language.
To know anything about me, you'll have to roleplay with me, either by meeting me in the academy, or catching me on one of my few forays into the local town inn.

Juri is now a teacher at Xanthian's Academy.
Name: Juri Ishida
Age: 25
Appeared Age:
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Personality: Juri is a calm, quiet woman, analytical, intelligent and preferring to observe people from afar. Her old teachers taught her to be a listener before a talker, to watch people and decide what kind of people they are. This sometimes leads to suspiciousness on her part, but when she gets to know another person more closely, she keeps a high opinion of them and thinks they can do nothing ill willed. When she speaks, it is mostly in a 'voice-of-reason' tone. She is always a kind hearted person, always willing to lend her shoulder to cry on.
Appearance: Juri Ishida
This is a picture of her in her full sorceress attire. Her usual outfit is a tight purple undershirt with cutoff sleeves, and a long, flowing purple skirt to match. Thick green ribbons are tied loosely around her waist as an accessory, and she also has a green choker around her neck. She usually is wearing a hooded green cape to go along with the outfit- gold hemmed and inscribed with the same symbols that are on her sorceress outfit. Gold bracelets on her wrists finish off her elegant look.
Weapons: Being a sorceress Juri has the power to use a wide variety of magic with only her hands, mouth and mind. In the case where she would need to use more complex spells that call for a wand or a staff, she possesses a ring that can change into either item she needs. As for physical weapons, Juri has expert experience in them, but she relies mostly on her magic instead.
The following attacks are ones that Juri uses when confronted in a battle.
Blizzard Breeze: This attack is one that does not require the use of her fighting fans. By gathering up spiritual energy in her lungs, she can forcefully blow out and cause a mini blizzard, complete with sharp shards of ice. If blown hard enough, she can create a complete gale that will last a good ten minutes, a perfect cover from the enemy.
Tsumetai Bombs: Juri takes spiritual energy and applies it around her, freezing the moisture in the air and creating semi-invisible bombs. Hitting one will cause a chain reaction and freeze you in your tracks. If she so chooses Juri can undo this, but usually she is too busy with battle to do so.
Jeweled Fans: This attack is based mostly on deception. A combination of her fighting fans and the Tsumetai Bombs. First throwing the fan to distract the enemy, Juri uses the second between her attack and the enemy's confusion at her miss to create mini ice bombs, and quickly launches those after the fan.
Any other attacks she uses are usually combinations of the aforementioned attacks.
Element: (where applicable) Ice
Powers: Element Ice control, magic
Bio: When she was younger, Juri lived in a large but secluded country that had established clans. These clans centered around the magics of different elements of nature, and all lived peacefully together. Inevitably, a war broke out in the city. The cause of it is not known to this day. Riots were everywhere, and everyone hated the other's clan. To solve this, the governor of the country ordered that children of the individual clan leaders would be exchanged with one another. Juri was the only daughter of the Fire clan, and in an act of peace she was given to the Ice clan. The Ice clan's people welcomed her, and for the rest of her preteen life she learned the Ice ways. It is partially because of her lineage why she holds herself like she does: with grace and nobility.
When Juri reached her adult years, another war broke out. The governor of the country was killed this time, and the exchanged children of the clans were told to flee. Juri can't remember much from the period of time while she was fleeing, other than that she was injured and her cousins Mina and Ariai came to help her. Together they all stowed away until the war was over, and after that, the three assisted any in need as the country tried getting back on it's feet.
Eventually, the old Fire clan leader took all three girls under his wing, leading them to another land where they could grow up and prosper, unlike their dying country due to the wars. He led them to Athear, but soon passed away due to the rough journey they had made. There, they began to forge their own path in the new realm. It is in Athear where Juri became a teacher, sharing her vast knowledge of magic with students that so wished to learn.
Other Notes: Juri's pet cat Scorn is a gray male tabby cat, capable of speech and a little magic of his own. He is as his name suggests: snobbish and suspicious of new people that Juri associates with. Only close friends of his mistress may have the privilege of petting him. Despite his disagreeable nature, he cares for Juri very much, and has appointed himself her guardian.

Name: Mina Shirasu
Age: 17
Appeared Age:
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Personality: Mina's looks slightly contradict her actual personality. Even though she often sports black and darker hues, she really is much more optimistic and less gloomy than one would imagine. Often times, this seventeen-year-old is the kind of person who would act before thinking, and then realize about three days later the mistake she made and try as hard as possible to correct it. Although she is slightly spastic, Mina is a good listener when she focuses and is called upon. Overall, she is a very curious and complex person, more often than not butting her head into things where she would rather not be wanted, no matter how good her intentions are.
Although Mina tries her hardest to be polite, some people are just impossible to reason with and get under one's nerves. She's met her fill of those types of people, occasionally causing her temper to flare unnecessarily. Her element is fire, which suits her well since when her patience runs thin, her anger may rise with the temperature of a flame. Thankfully, that is not as often as it may sound like. Due to her training with teachers and her practice in taming dragons, her emotions have been in check far more than before.
Appearance: [x Mina x]
Mina has always preferred casual wear over stylish wear. On most occasions, she wears a long skirt with a belt where she can tie her sword's hilt. There are folds in her dresses and skirts, where she can hide daggers if she feels necessary. Besides that, any top or shirt would suit her fine. The only thing is, she is self-conscious. Not to the point where she would hide, but to where perhaps she is able to find more than one flaw on herself.
Weapons: Mina has a sword, but sometimes relies on her dragon in an emergency or her fire abilities which she trains often, but rarely uses.
Element: Fire and Flame
Powers: She has a knack for taming dragons, and isn't too bad at cooking either! Other than that, she is able to create and mold fire into any form, for example an arrow, a bullet, and etc.
Bio: Mina was born in country that was cut off from most other civilizations. Even so, this country lived in peace, despite their large elemental differences. There was one clan for each element of nature in the country, and although IN the beginning there was a calm and sane environment, soon greedy citizens decided to rebel, seeking more and more power. It was inevitable in a area where one clan was supposedly stronger than another one, and another stronger than that one, and before long a war erupted.
During this war, several peace-makers in the clans hoped to compromise, in a way that they could all live in peace again. Therefore, children of the clan leaders were exchanged. Even so, a second war broke out a few years later. All the exchanged children, and even those who were not were told to flee, although Mina remembers seeing many of the children wounded in the middle of the battlefield, unable to find safety. She fled with her sister, but stopped and helped an injured female, which was Juri, their cousin.
The trio hid away on the sidelines of the war, watching the devastation and damage that each of the elemental clans caused. After the war, Mina made the decision to stay behind and help as many injured warriors, children, and adults as possible, from all sides. Juri and Ariai stayed with her, and together they used their powers to heal as many people as possible, the best they could.
Eventually, the old Fire clan leader took all three girls under his wing, leading them to another land where they could grow up and prosper, unlike their dying country due to the wars. He led them to Athear, but soon passed away due to the rough journey they had made. There, they began to forge their own path in this new realm.
Other Notes: Mina is the cousin of Juri Ishida and the sister of Ariai Shirasu.

Ariai is now a student at Xanthian's Academy.
Name: Ariai Shirasu
Age: 19
Appeared Age:
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Personality: Ariai is a serious woman with a tempermental side. She usually can control her temper, but if provoked enough, she can go berserk. She is outspoken and opinionated, and cares deeply for her sister Mina and her cousin Juri. If you manage to catch her alone, she is gentle, caring, and unusually calm.
Appearance: Ariai Shirasu
Ariai is in the habit of wearing lacy and frilly clothes. She likes tube top blouses that are hemmed with lace, and wears these shirts in various warm colors like red, red orange, or a dark peach. Ariai also loves her skirts, especially the ones she owns that hug her hips and flow all the way to the ground. Acessories are always worn, consisting of elegant earrings to gold bracelets to extravagent head ornaments.
Weapons: Ariai's favorite weapons are whips. Most of the time the whips are used for long range attacks. For close range attacks Ariai also has two katanas. She can use both at the same time efficiently. She can use magic, but only to a small extent. The following attacks are elemental ones that Ariai uses when provoked into battle.
Hita Whips/Katanas: By transmitting her energy into her whips/katanas, she can make the weapons burst with fire and thus increase the strength of her attack.
Flaming Fingers: Ariai can take energy and send it to her finger tips. This causes fire to erupt at any finger and she can use them like a gun to fire her attack. [Note: Like Yusuke Uremeshi from Yu Yu Hakusho]
Fire Storm: Similar to Juri's Blizzard Breeze attack, she can exhale and create a fire. Various degrees of blowing will create different levels of flames. When she blows hard enough, she can ultimately create Fire Tornado, her most powerful attack that she can control directionally once blown.
Element: Fire
Powers: Element Fire control, and minor magic spells
Bio: Ariai was a part of the Elemental clans that Juri and Mina were also in. She was the only daughter of the Ice clan, and was exchanged to the Fire clan, just as Juri was exchanged to the Ice clan. Although their families feuded for a while, Ariai looked up to Juri very much as an older sister. The three of them became fast friends as time progressed.
When the second war broke out, Ariai was told just like the other exchanged children to flee the country. She was taking Mina away from the battleground when she noticed Juri, who had been fighting bravely alongside the other warriors, go down injured. With Mina's help the two of them took Juri to the sidelines and cared for her until she got better. Together they all stowed away until the war was over, and after that, the three assisted any in need as the country tried getting back on it's feet.
Eventually, the old Fire clan leader took all three girls under his wing, leading them to another land where they could grow up and prosper, unlike their dying country due to the wars. He led them to Athear, but soon passed away due to the rough journey they had made. There, they began to forge their own path in the new realm. It is in Athear where Ariai became a student in Xanthian's Academy, hoping to hone her magical skills and become a successful sorceress like her cousin.
Other Notes: Ariai's pet Daime is a female hawk, especially trained for reconassaince. Daime is a docile bird, constantly perching on Ariai's shoulder whenever she can, and always assisting her mistress as a messenger bird. When provoked, Daime's temper flares and matches Ariai's, making the two look the same with their intimidating glares. When Ariai is in classes, she hangs out around Juri's classroom, conversing with Scorn or Juri, if the latter has the time.

Name: Shina Hoshimura
Age: 18
Appeared Age:
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Personality: Shina is a complex person in general. In ways, she can be explained as emotionally unstable. Her moods hardly differ from either terribly depressed and introverted, to an overly happy and loud. Her moods are just polar extremes. Shina likes to keep to herself, not liking being around others all too much. She sits by her lonesome reading, or writing. She is kind and friendly enough, but most would interpret her anti-social behaviour to being obnoxious. Shina is a modest girl, not really wanting attention to herself. Shina is truly a sweetheart. She enjoys pretty things. She loves dresses, dolls and flowers. Anything that catches her eye really. She looks at things with their overall value, not material value. And like most girls, she loves to live in a world of fairy tales, though that may not be her reality, she does so in her day dreams. Another attribute of the girl, she loves to space out, and her passion is creativity. She loves to dance, draw, sing, and make illusions. Shina is a prodigee in tha magicks.
Appearance: Shina Hoshimura
Is what she wears in her full dancer's garb; though not necessarily for dancing only, but also what she wears in rituals. Normally, she wears a more casual kimono. What she wears usually depends on what mood she's in. If she wears soft pastel colors, it usually indicates she is in a joyful mood. But be wary of dark colors such as black or dark blue or maybe a crimson; usually signifies that her emotions are running a foul course. But no matter what Shina wears, they are all beautiful attires, randing from simple cherry blossoms designs, or intricate patterns woven into the most expensive silk.
Weapons: A pair of chakrams; 18 inches in diameter. Pair of decorative dancing fans; razor tips.
Element: Ice and Flame; reflecting her opposing moods.
Powers: Despite having the use of the elements; which mind you takes a whole lot from her and each element can only be in use when she is in either of the moods: ice is to depressed, fire to her more energetic mood, she also can manipulate illusions. She can cause enemies to see things that arent' there, and make them feel things that aren't physical. If bothered by her illusions enough, her opponent may go mad.
Bio: Shina is the only daughter to a prestigious clan, in her homeland. Her brother handling the clan well enough, her father sent her to another land, for the sake of her safety. Seeing as the rise in the Hoshimura clan's power, they had created a rivalry, and the biggest threat was that they'd steal the Hoshimura prized jewels, Shina and the amulet she carries with her. The amulet carries her clans power, and her being the prophesied 'Chosen One' who supposedly would bring their clan into utter greatness, she guards, along with being blessed with great powers. She was of course sent to Xanthian's Academy where she could study safely.
Other Notes: As her family's sworn animal guardians, two wolves are always with her. Jin; a white male. And Kana; a black female. These two work as familiars and counsel to her decisions, they are the manifestations of her magicks, Jin being ice and Kana being fire. But they are not limited to only being guardians to Shina, but also probably her only friends. Not much is really known, whatever they can do, atleast not to Shina.

Name: Colu Lulusaum
Age: 17
Appeared Age:
Gender: Male
Race: Giant
Personality: Colu believes in higher learning. With this belief, he is very studious in nature, and will always put learning as his highest priority. Because of this, he can sometimes appear shy, as he tends to burry himself in his books, but can be very hospitable when he needs to be. In general, the giant is fairly polite, acting as an ambassador for his people. He'll often be too polite, and let others take advantage of him, but he'll put his foot down if he thinks it's gone too far. Although, despite all these characteristics of someone more in tune with this modern age of understanding, Colu retains his roots with his strong sense of duty and following the tribal traditions his ancestors followed.
Appearance: A little short for his age, Colu is about eleven feet tall, still out growing his stages of youth. Having just come to the academy, his skin still retains its faded brown tone, while slowly graying to match the school. His hair is black and always found in messy tangles, a style that he grew up with. He's always kept his body as in shape as he could manage between studying, constantly preparing for the task he was entrusted with. He tends to wear the ceremonial cloak, a long crimson garment that just barely brushes the floor, he arrived in when going about his after school activities. But when attending classes or doing something that might end messily, he wears a simply tunic and leather pants.
Weapons: Having come to the academy in order to learn more civilized ways of fighting, Colu forgoes physical weapons in order to better practice what magic he learns. If forced into a situation where he must physically fight, his giant's strength will often suffice.
Element: Earth
Powers: None at the moment.
Bio: When giants were first accepted into more civilized culture, most had been hesitant to so quickly join other races, fearing they might forget their heritage if they became too involved or be faced with prejudice because of their reputation. Colu's tribe viewed this from a more optimistic perspective. They saw this as an opportunity to spread the kind word of giants and dispel the rumors of how they were such vicious savages, as well as encourage other less social races to join. It was decided that they would send one of their own to enroll in the Academy, a central hub of inter-racial relationships, in the pursuit of higher learning. Ever since, Colu had prepared for his pilgrimage, the day that he would leave the tribe for this mission.

I, like Tsu Sengai, prefer to withhold the use of profiles when I can. Therefore, I will simply state that my character is elven and currently trying for a teacher position within the academy.
