A thousand years ago, the world of Shindi was split between two conflicting powers. The men of Daton controlled that which would later become known as the fiercest army seen, while he was suppressed by that which was called the Red Rebels. However historians have a humor of mistaking rebels from the real enemy. Daton was once part of the Red Rebels in a conflict against an enemy of whose identity has been forgotten in the folds of time. Daton was initially known to be a gentle man, but soon become distraught with power, and he sought nothing but to have the world bow before him. This thirst for power led to a war that lasted nearly twenty years, spreading the Red Rebels thin, until only to a handful of the strongest, including the finding members, were left. The last battle of the war documented was the battle at the foothills of the Dakion mountain range.
The Red Rebels eventually fell one by one, until only two members remained to face Daton. The battle was fierce and was recorded to have been terrifying enough to have been described as the mights of the modern God of the Era. History remembers the two standing members as the Black Demon and the Red Angel of the Red Rebels.
Although history states that Daton was able to destroy the two, it neglected to pass on that Daton was actually badly wounded by the two. Badly injured, he was left with no option but to call upon a greater power. His wounds were healed, but in return he was left in a immobile state. However even in this weakened state he was able to command his armies, striking fear into the people of Shindi. For when Daton had called upon this fierce power, his life was extended, and rumors have sprung that his form was said to be preserved to look no more than 30 years of age, some even going as far as to claim he looked like a small child.
One would lament that this would be the conclusion of the tale. The man with the tainted heart has won, and the world was left in the palm of his hands. However the world of Shindi was young, just having been released from the God's war, which incidentally brought the creation of the Red Rebels. The God would not allow such a young world fall into such a darkened state again. So Shindi with her goddess’s help pulled the souls of those that once fought in the God’s war from their resting home in the after life, and had them reborn into the world of Shindi nearly twenty years ago.
The timing was right, as even the world of Shindi was refusing Daton’s rule, his power weaved distrust and hatred into the hearts of the inhabitants, just as far as his influence reached in the world. Those who were once members of the Red Rebels are slowly being guided to their destiny by the world's will, dreams of their past life haunting their nights, while in the day they are seen as misfits, as if they were the abnormal creation of the world.
In Another Life will you still display the colors you once showed, or will you fly in despair to fight for other reasons.
Welcome to the world of Shindi and the series of In Another Life. Treasure your life, its all you got.

Gaia Name: Hokyo Cumen
Character Name: Hokyo Cumen
Powers: Holy Light
Details:
Holy Light: Oddly enough, his power is a expression of his own emotions and uses his own soul. It can be used as a shield of a forceful current to push his enemies away. Though under more fierce moods, this white source of energy has been known to pierce enemies and destroy a small rebel force of maybe fifty men. Though when Hokyo was part of Daton's army some of the Generals claimed that he often used his power to buffer his sword, in order to avoid killing, but none of which has held any proof.
Weapons: A sword with two dragons incrusted fighting one another.
Side: Red Rebels
Race: Human
Bio: Hokyo doesn’t remember being born, he doesn’t remember any of his childhood, but he always being about the age he is, he can remember at one time being part of the Daton army, even before that he can remember killing Daton’s soldiers, but after he was appointed a head general in the army he left his position and turned against Daton to fight against him for the last two years.
Hokyo has become the most hated man among the soldiers of Daton and is searched for and some of the soldiers will not stop at anything to get him dead, even if it involves killing other people. So Hokyo is a rogue against Daton.

((Watch it, guys, I'm about to TOTALLY revamp my character...))
Gaia Name: bandi138138
Character Name: Bandi Hyun
Age: 21
Powers: As the carrier of the Black Tortoise Hyun-mu's spirit, Bandi has control over Waters and Shadow. He also has an array of protective magic and a connection with the dead.
Also, although not a power, has expansive knowledge of poisons, antidotes and medicine.
Weapons: Hyun-Mu
Side: Red Rebels
Race: Human
Bio: Born in the country on the very edge of the Oriental continent, Bandi was raised under the belief of the Four-Guardian animal spirits. His Family was said to be blessed by Hyun-Mu, the Black Tortoise, the guardian of the north, water, darkness, and judgement; in other words, the negative of the balance of Yin and Yang.
However, Daton's forces were strong enough to reach the far-east, and all of what he knew and grew up with had been destroyed. In turn, Bandi traveled West to exact revenge. In the process, he came upon a rumor of a rebellion rising, and has been searching ever since.

The morning sun was barely peeking from behind the mountain range of the Dakion, in the distance. The ground still wet from the moist air from the Red Sea and with every step Hokyo took, left an imprint of his foot on the dark soil. He had spent most of the night, attempting to reach Esta, and swear his feet rejoiced when he was in sight of the small town. He couldn’t recall the last time he had been in a town, but the thought of a bed, even better a fire that wasn’t going to be killed by the chance of rain, the warmth only a home could bring. The smell of liquor, the company of another human, all things Hokyo had given up a long time ago, but he still longed for them.
Entering the small town, the stalls were being set up for the merchants to sell their good. Though being this early meant Hokyo could avoid their banter of attempting him to buy something useless. That the real problem is the likely hood that he would actually pay if the man was a smooth enough talking. Hokyo could never seem to talk his way out of dealing with merchants; they were too sharp tongued for his own good. Though it wasn’t as though he didn’t have his own skills, but making others listen wasn’t his strong suit.
Drips of water rolled off the tops of some of the finer built homes, leaving long puddles around the house, Hokyo swore when he accidently stepped into one of the puddles, and he felt water flood into his boot. He wasn’t aware his boot had a hole in it, but he could think of plenty of possible reasons why it did have that hole. He sighed, sitting down on a bench by a local Inn and removed his boot, pouring the water out back into the street. Sitting here he could see some of Daton’s soldiers walking the street. Of course these were nothing compare to those men you would find within the Capital. Those men there were truly frightening; each one had the ability to kill at least one hundred people at a time.
Sighing he stretched and reached up towards the sky, today was going to be a lovely day and in such a calm town. He didn’t feel like thinking about the possible outcomes which might happen if he steps on the wrong toes. Just sitting there, he allowed himself the pleasure of relaxing

Gaia Name: Yunari
Character Name: Yunari Comtrel
Age: 20
Powers: Fire manipulation and Protective spirit
Details:
Elemental Fire: The classic ability to wield power at it’s best. During the hours where the sun is up she is at her strongest. She came make anything from fire balls to fire goblins as long as she has enough time to do so.
Protective spirit: This is simply split between two skills, the ability to heal others and not herself and the power to create barriers or seals from big to small
Weapons: A bow and quiver of arrows but she has a sword for close combat.
Side: free lancers
Race: human
Bio: Yunari was born and raised in riches. Her father worked for Daton, later becoming a general and because of that he was granted many things. While as a child she did not fully comprehend the situation, her sister did. Ray was her twin, well kind of, and practically raised her so when her sister spoke of the darker terms, she understood clearly. Yunari was the softer child, the ‘lets talk about it’ child but she was probably the stronger of the two siblings. They were two sides of the same coin, only they both wanted to be heads and not tails. So sibling rivalry was one of the major things in their lives. Yunari’s mother was a priestess of an ancient shrine. She worshiped the celestial maidens and was quite strong in her own way. But she dies upon giving birth to Yune. This is where Ray comes in. Her father was to afraid of the power that Yune held as a child. So he had his men summon all the stronger magical beings he could and while Yunari was still an infant, he split her soul into two creating Ray. This would effectively keep her weak enough not to oppose him, or so he thought.
Appearance: Yunari
Gaia Name: Yunari
Character Name: Ray Comtrel
Age: 20
Powers: Shadow and shapeshift
Details:
The Classic shadow powers that Ray hold are those to manipulate darkness, to see it in the people around her and to harness it. She can create monsters from it, even show people their nightmares. She can move through them, much like appearing in once place and then another in a split second, or hiding people. Because this is her main ability she is strongest at night when the sun is hidden from her.
Shape shifting is exactly what is sounds like. Ray can turn into any creature or person that she has seen once. However she must have seen this person for more than just a few minutes and she can’t change things up like the nose of this person and the eyes of that one.
Side: free lancer
Race: huma(ish)
Bio: Ray was born of Yunari, but neither of them know this due to the age of Yune when the split was made, there for they were raised believing they were sisters. Ray, the darker of the two could see the darkness in people’s hearts and because of that her powers became evident at a young age. She managed to convince her sister that this world was a dark and desperate place and the two ran away together. Daton as a bad man, but Ray craved his power even more than she knew he was bad. But it was Yunari that kept her darker nature in check. To this day the two remain together, of course they don’t have much of a choice. Due to Ray’s suggestion, the two are freelancers, doing odd jobs now and then, but they can put on quite the street show, Ray’s even been known to pickpocket now and then.
Appearance: Ray
Gaia Name: Yunari
Character Name: Blake Shivan
Age: She holds the appearance of a 19 year old but is far older than that.
Powers: Gravity and Ice/snow
Details:
Gravity: She can change the weight of things, making herself or the things around her as light as air or heavier than a mountain. Because of this she can compress objects and them smaller, like how she shrank her parent’s skulls.
Ice/snow: while she cannot freely wield water she can use it, turning it into ice or even making it so cold that it begins to snow. Most of the time she is residing in the center of a snow storm, for she feels at home when she does such.
Weapons: She carries only one weapon, a very long and thick leather whip.
Side: Daton
Race: Void
Bio: In her village a Void is born every thirty years. Blake’s birth was to be expected but no one knew what she was till she reached the age of five. Once her powers became evident they knew, she felt no pain and held no emotion, never laughed and never cried, but for some reason she could fell excitement. Upon her sixth birthday the village decided to rid themselves of the void for another twenty four years, but she was to quick for them. She crushed them all under her powers and killed the entire village, no more voids would be born. Her parents received special treatment for they did not protect her. She killed them and shrank their skulls so that they would fit as hair pins in her hair. She ended up roaming them, her aging stopped around eighteen though it was another fifty years before she met Daton, however no one knows her true age.
Appearance: Blake
Gaia Name: Yunari
Character Name: Kaishiro Takugua
Age: twenty three
Powers: Seals/Curses/Charms and Hexes, Copycat and Premination
Details:
Seals/Curses/Charms and Hexes are self explanitory. Due to Kai’s darker studies he can be seen as a witch who specializes in those four areas, chances are if someone ishexed, it was him.
Copycat allows him to copy the ability of anyone who attacks him. Say a fire ball is thrown at him, he would absorb that and be able to throw back fire balls, there is a draw back, if he absorbs to much energy it is much like a burn out. Like wise he can only absorb one power at a time so if he got hit with fir then ice, he would only be able to absorb and use one, thus putting him at the disadvantage. He can even absorb power just by touching someone.
Premination is pretty much useless for anything combat. It lets him see into the past but also into the future. It is useless because the past has already happened and the future is ever changing. So he thinks it is a waist of time.
Weapons:
Side: Daton
Race:mostly human
Bio: Kai can be seen as the deadly comedian. He was born as a human andraised in a poor neighbor hood. Because his family had nothing to look up to he found himself becoming much of a joke, a comedian of sorts to make life easier for those around him. However this changed. He became a man of many masks, he oculd be happy and funny or he could be a seducful creation of man. Lfe his his playground and he can be seen as a child at times, but he is seriosu when necessary. However soon his little town was destroyed, a victum of war it would seem. He ran and hid, tried to wait out the figth but it came to him in the form of a demon. The demon was sick, dying in fact and it offered him it’s powers if he did only one thing. Kai agreed and fallwoed through with the pact. He killed the invaders of the village and was rewarded with the demonic power. Not knowing how to use this newfound power he roamed around a bit, fighting pointless battles and ducking from authority till he met Daton, who took him under his wing so to speak.
Appearance:
Kai
Character Name: Kohikri Hakutori
Age: 21
Powers: Spells, minor curses, reincarnation
Details:
Spells: Well basically books upon books of incantations that allow him to do things from causing things to come to like, like toys to larger things like locking people in boxes. Spells are almost limitless in what they can do but require a lot of stamina to be cast simultaneously
Curses: A basic thing that all witches should be good at but well he’s not so good, he can only manage minor curses and most of the time he messes them up.
Reincarnation: This is what puts Kohikri aside from most witches. While he isn't so good at most things, there is one thing that he can do others can not. He can bring back the dead. But three conditions must be met. One the person must have died recently, their body must be in tact and three, their soul must want to come back. Otherwise such a thing is unable to happen. Due to this ability he can freely communicate with souls of both the departed and not.
Weapons: A small dagger when all else fails.
Side: Freelancer
Race: Witch
Bio: Kohikri is a bit of an outcast. First off he is a male witch. This doesn’t happen much as most of the witches are female so that was the first thing that made him an outcast, the second happened to be that he wasn’t particularly good with curses. Sure his spells were fine and he was great at casting them all the time but he obtained a skill also not known to witches. He had the ability to bring back that which was gone. In his clan, witches worked for Daton, killed and cursed for him, many of them under the control of Daton’s general, Kai. However because he was such an outcast, he left at a young age.
He chose to live alone and gathered magical books in order to further advance his knowledge, but he never got better at curses. For a while he had a teacher, a music user who just happened to be traveling on the same path. The man was old though and like all things do, he died. Kohikri tried to bring him back but the old man told him that it was his time and his soul was at piece so the reincarnation was a failure and he was left alone. Now Kohikri just roams around, doing what he wants here and there.

“you think we can pull it off ?” Crouched low yunari spoke to her darker sister. They were plotting something quite grand today. Sure they were twenty but that didn’t mean they couldn’t mess around with the guards a bit. Currently Ray had taken upon the appearance of her sister, so two Yune’s stood side by side a picture perfect double. The real one smiled and jumped a bit with mischief while Ray seemed cool and stoic.
“just remember Yune, If something looks funny, back out. Daton’s men are not exactly the best targets.” Ray chided her sister. Many would swear she was the oldest but then again, they didn’t even know that much. Yune gave a nod and lit a small fire on the tip of her finger. She stepped out of her hiding place, lit flame behind her back as she scanned.
“five Ray. I’m sure the report said six.” Ah yes, this was a job. They were what some called free lancers and others called mercenaries. Either way they enjoyed what they did because they refused jobs where children were involved. With Ray’s abilities they could see the evil in people so it was not hard for them to decipher targets.
“don’t worry Yun, just prepare for any situation.” Yunari nodded and like that she began the attack. The reward was to be given for the death of six men but they could fib a bit. As far as she saw it they were thinning out Daton’s lines, though she knew the better. Each mission brought her closer to her father and the truth. She wanted to know about her mother, about how she and Ray came to be, and well about everything. She brought her hand around and made a small sign in the air. Like that a fire started at the feet of the solders. At the same time she constructed a barrier to keep her fire from growing out of hand, she didn’t want to go around setting houses on fire too now.
This caught the mens' attention and immediately the fight began, but this was where things got fun. Once they thought they knew her fighting style and powers, Ray took over, using Yunari’s looks but creating beasts from the shadows her flames created. They were unstoppable together, or it seemed anyway. They continued the switch up, Yunari’s barrier protecting those outside it but keeping the men inside. The two girls used only their powers as the mission was to collect not kill and information was their game for now.
A cool chill ran down her back and Yune stopped. She looked up as the sixth man made himself known. He slammed his arms down around the petite woman and held her in what could only be called a bone crusher. “Yun!” Ray turned to go towards her sister but was also taken by surprise. They had found them out. The two were strongest together, but if they were a certain distance part they lost that invincibility and well it seemed that the soldiers had figured it out as well.
“aw Hell!.”

Telepathy: the ability to enter one's mind and to an extent influence one's thoughts
Weapons: 
Side: Daton
Race: Human
Bio: Darkwoods... The Tainted Holy. He was given this title due to his dark controversies and abilities. When the church was taken over by Daton's Evan did nothing to resist.

A stranger stepped into the market place. He had an odd appearance. His height was slightly shorter than others around him, and had eyes sharper than others. It was easy to tell he was a man of the east.
He looked around and found a fruit stand and approached.
"How much do you trade for?"
His speech was odd but comprehensible.
The currency he conjured was odd, but it was gold. The merchant seemed to have no problem, and allowed the trade.
"Are you... ugh.... looking for something?"
The merchant asked as he noticed Bandi was looking around.
"I...I seek the ones who call themselves the Red Rebels..."
The merchant looked uneasy and hurriedly handed him the apples.
"I know of no such people. Leave me be!"
The man was so fierce in his denial Bandi was forced to walk away as far away from the stand as possible.

Hokyo walked humming to himself; for once he was rather pleased with himself. He had been able to deal with a merchant and not buy some useless thing; instead a new pair of boots hung over his shoulder, the leather clicking together as he walked. He glanced towards a rather strange aura in the land, a barrier. A rather well built one, but it was flickering, likely due to its owner to have some trouble in what they were doing. Slipping through the barrier when it flickered, he continued his walk.
His hand bent up, holding the laces of the boots, glancing towards either way he was making mental notes of his surroundings. Most people wouldn’t walk into someone’s barrier, there had to be a reason. His humming got louder as he stopped short of a few of Daton’s men dead on the ground, glancing along he could see one blonde hair woman fighting against a rather large soldier while another was being taken off guard attempting to reach the blonde.
He let out a rather shallow whistle to catch the man that had the blondes’ attention. He didn’t have his sword; he had left it out in the woods, not the best idea, but also wasn’t going to be walking around carrying a sword. The big soldier glanced at him, for a second Hokyo though he might have recognized but the man made a rather crude remark, he knew that the man had no idea who he was. Hokyo sighed and vanished as it would appear to most, but he had simply pushed forward quickly, and with every hit of his foot, he juggled his own body from the left to right, making his way towards the large man.
The man grunted as Hokyo’s body lunged into the blonde and the large man, breaking their balance and for a moment his hands passed over Yuna, but as soon as she was out of the man’s grip, Hokyo shoved her out of the way, his hands wrapping around the large man’s head and his knee came up, slamming against he man’s head as he hit the ground. The soldier’s neck snapping on impact, sighing Hokyo stood himself up, his eyes glancing towards the other woman, but a slim smile spread across his face. As the man that had caught her off guard, was hit by something and dropped to the ground.
Hokyo began his hum again, as he walked over towards the second man, reaching towards what had hit the man and picked up his pair of boots. Flinging them over his shoulder, he didn’t say a word as he made his way towards the next street. When he had first rushed forward, he had thrown the boots into the air and in the time it took to finish off the first soldier his boots had been his weapon against the second. Humming he pushed out of the barrier and into a crowd of people.

Ray reached Yune’s side as the man’s interference had helped them. She grasped at her sister’s hand and that was the end of it. What the man had left behind were bodies, some just damaged while others were gone due to the combination of things. A dark spiral appeared below the two and all six of the bodies were pulled into it’s never ending abyss. Think of it as a portable storage unit. Once they had the men firmly in their grasp, Ray closed the portal and released Yunari. The woman’s hair turned jet black and she retained her normal features while Yunari caught her breath.
”did you know that guy?” Ray shook her head but Yunari couldn’t help but look towards his receding back “I feel like I know him… or knew…” she shook her head and patted her pocket. Like that her flames disappeared and the barrier was cast down.
“maybe it was in another life?” Ray joked with a snort, no one believed in that kind of crap any more, well at least not Ray. But Yune gave a sharp nod as he hand rested on her hip.
“maybe.” But as quick as she had gone into such a trance she snapped out of it and formed “hay wait a tick…. He touched me! A man touched me! I must go bathe and cleanse myself of my sins…..marry or kill him…”
Ray blinked a few times and frowned “you’re worried about a guy putting his hands on you and not the fact that he threw you on the ground…. Right. We’re in debt to him, I don’t like him. He pisses me off.” Of course Ray didn’t like him, how dare he intrude on her fun. They would have had them, she just had to take a second to draw in power before she could shift forms. She tilted her head and then brushed herself off. “my vote is we kill ‘em.”
Yune turned and looked at her other half and slowly shook her head “ I do not think that we would be forgiven for such an action. Besides he isn’t in my bingo book.” She moved her hand and reached into her shirt. Within seconds she removed a small black book and began to shift through it. “nope not in there…. So who is he?”
“who cares, let’s go” The dark haired one grabbed her sister and began to pull her along, strangely enough they were taking the same path as the stranger, for now at least.

Bandi had heard the commotion nearby, and word had spread quickly that there were a group of people fighting a band of soldiers.
He promptly threw aside his apple and headed where everyone was headed. If there was a fight, there were sure to be a crowd forming. it was the sad truth of human nature.
However, he could not help but notice that he was about to come into some trouble with the military himself...
The fruit merchant he had just been speaking to was talking to a soldier and pointed to his direction. quickly hid his face and tried to blend into the crowd. However, it was a devilishly difficult task as he naturally stood out.
"OY! You'll have to come with me! I've got some questions for you."
"Like hell you do..."
He muttered and quickly moved away as if he did not hear the man's calling.
"Oy! You! Stop that man!"
Now the attention was beginning to be drawn to him. This wasn't good...
