Character Name: Grencia M.E.G. Eckener-MacPere (Gren to you)
Age: 36
Physical Description: See Inn Character profile description, save for a permanent flat-lined expression and a few gray hairs. Often wearing work clothes,
such as this.Mental Description: He's given up on trust, or pretending to be happy. In order to remain stable, he's emotionally purged himself to the point that extremes are needed to get strong expressions outside of anger. Very focused on his works. Rarely sleeps longer than a few hours.
Biography (50 words or less): At the time of the explosion, he and Eli were kept safe by his spaceship, which was technology advanced enough to escape the purge. In the wake, he internalized his laments over the losses of friends and home to the point of snapping.

Weapons: Guns, whatever's in the workshop, minor hand-to-hand, rifle.
Powers: None.
Strengths: Focused, rational, peacemaker, mechanics.
Weaknesses: Emotionally dead, phobias surrounding past traumas causing sporadic flashbacks. Apathetic toward most miseries, comes off as uncaring.

Gaia Username: Gren_Eckener
Character Name: Remus "Remy" Legume
Age: 30
Physical Description: Same as given in IoP profile, grungier attire, less friendly eyes. Tattoo on his upper arm of a mouse, initialed N.C. No longer has his bracer, but kept his sun and moon stones.
Mental Description: Surly, but not angsty. Losing Max in the initial explosion rid him of his gentler nature, which is now most expressed when people really need it. Proactive, progressive, he takes responsibility for everyone remaining in small ways.
Biography (50 words or less): Max was lost in the technology bust, which distressed him greatly. Six years have healed him well enough to know it wasn't his fault, and that there wasn't much he could do. He decided that the best he could do for her memory was to sustain those left behind in any way he can. He's certain that there are a few survivors out there worth saving.
Weapons:Self and whatever he can find, prefers knives and rapier-esque swords.
Powers: Vampiric abilities. (See IoP profile for full listing)
Strengths: Can't be killed normally, doesn't need sleep in particular, doesn't need fed (he does that on his own patrols)
Weaknesses: Normal abilities during the day, should be kept away from the medical wing when he hasn't eaten recently.
Etc: Often goes on patrols alone, looking for survivors. Certain that his master is alive due to still being a vampire.

Gaia Username: Gren_Eckener
Character Name: Charlotte R. LaRoux
Age: 21
Physical Description: 5'5", slender, she's grown into a leggy, hippy lady. She ties up her hair in something resembling a bun, letting sprigs fall where they may, hairpins in the shape of quite usable lockpicks. Her clothes are still rather fancy for overall purposes, but much more practical. She walks with a crutch on her left, a large chunk of her shin having been bitten off, effectively crippling her.
Mental Description: A manic Buddha. Most of the time, she's quite serene, and as playful as usual. However, interspersed through this, she'll sometimes have deranged moments, usually hallmarked by a change in tone and eye color (green to purple in the eye under the birthmark) with all the regularity of a faulty light blub.
Biography (50 words or less): Arriving at the Inn shortly after the explosion, drawn by the sudden influx of chaos, Charlotte arrived in time for Felix's transformative rage-fit. In fury, he took a large chunk out of her leg and ran off. Largely unaffected by the chaos-wave, save for a few mental moorings coming loose, she settled into a zen-like tranquility, forgiving the mauling, and now takes care of Felix.
Weapons: Herself, her crutch, and whatever's handy. Usually lets Felix or her few chibis do the fighting, but will happily join the fray.
Powers: Chaos abilities remain, but with far less control. This doesn't bother her, as her ethics have gone somewhat by the wayside. Tapping into the chaos lines allows her to see a few things, such as approaching dangers, the general forecast of chaos issues du jour, and sometimes, the Fifth horseman's activities.
Sometimes.
Strengths: Enduringly upbeat attitude, generally calm
Weaknesses: Short psychotic episodes, crippled (must be escorted places), unpredictable.
Etc: Usually spends her days out helping forage. Her remaining chibis are Fee and Zippo, the rest having gone back to their extradimensional homes. Proud to help bring home supplies and hunt food whenever she can.

Gaia Username: Zulma san
Character Name: Z (previously Zulma)
Age: 34
Physical Description: Long blond hair, golden eyes, fangs, tanned skin, a huge scar in the back in the shape of an x, 6 feet for 190 pounds of muscle, any hard works requiring strength have become his domain.
Mental Description: Zulma/Z feels like he failed at his mission to protect the IoP. He also hates himself for having nothing more than a scar on his back while some are dead while others are badly crippled. Scarred and wounded in body and soul, Zulma is no more the warm and bright star of the IoP. Cold, merciless, a hunter to protect and feed the Inn. The kill is a necessity and sometimes even a sport.
Biography:By a strange twist of fate, Zulma was meeting Baldur on that fateful day. Baldur and she arrived too late. Yet Baldur shielded Zulma with his body, dying almost instantly from the last blast. Both were wearing their crystals but Zulma's was damaged. Since then, Zulma's body has changed into a man's body and can turn into a large mongoose.
Weapons: Katanas
Powers: shape shifting into a mongoose, Zulma lost her air bending abilities when the apocalypse arrived as they were linked to who she was, but with hard training Z is slowly able to gain those powers back as he is learning about who he is.
Strengths: physical, great hunting skills with pure strength and speed or with trap
Weaknesses: Z snaps for no reason. He is hard on everyone, especially himself. Z seems to have lost all social skills and has an intense fear of the dark.
Etc: Zulma buried Baldur not far away from where the IoP used to be. It's hard to know what the man thinks but he can be often found on the grave.

Gaia Username: Azana Brown
Character Name: Azana Jacobs
Age: 30
Physical Description: Azana stands at 5’10”, her athletic figure weighing in at about 150 lbs. She wears short brown hair, has brown eyes, and is absolutely never seen without her old, battered badge.
Mental Description: Azana’s most salient mental traits are her stubborn determination, quick thinking, and somewhat short temper. She cares deeply for those she is close to, but keeps everyone else at a distance, afraid to lose everything for a third time. She seems to almost always be in “mission-mode”, now that it has become literally life-and-death, but some nights, or after some battles, her grief and rage come forth…even after six years.
Biography (50 words or less): Having been raised in a world of do-or-die situations, Azana lives on as one of the last fragments of a once-great organization. With her desire to avenge her colleagues mostly sated, she returns to what remains of her original directive: protect and aid the residents of the IoP.
Weapons:Takemikazuchi
剣の神・建御雷 tsurugi no kami, takemikazuchi Takemikazuchi, the God of Swords and Lightning. An artifact in the possession of Azana Jacobs. A sword, the blade of which can grow in size and become electrified when charged with mana. No other properties are currently known.
Eclipse Shield: The joint artifact of Azana and Sosol Jacobs. A medium-sized round shield, it can stand against just about anything without breaking, but its weakness lies in the inability to prevent knockback and its lack of total coverage.
Powers: Electrokinesis, telepathy (limited to messages to/from her), spiritual contract (Baraquiel – immediate full drain if used, long recharge period)
Strengths: Extensive combat training, resourcefulness
Weaknesses: Claustrophobia, charges most monsters she spots
****************
Gaia Username: Azana Brown
Character Name: Sosol “Sol” Jacobs
Age: 34
Physical Description: Sosol stands at 6’1”, and weighs around 180 lbs. He has short, dark hair and grey eyes that are incessantly hidden behind sunglasses or goggles.
Mental Description: Sol is in many ways an idealist, believing in the good in people and an ultimate goal of peace. Gentle and kind almost to a fault, he finds himself discouraged, resigned, and even melancholic at the constant strife around him, sometimes escaping for hours at a time to the illusion of serenity in his cloak’s pocket dimension.
Biography (50 words or less): Sosol has found himself in a difficult position: a pacifist living in a world where survival is a daily fight. Reluctantly taking up arms, he seeks to make the battle as swift and merciful as he can, knowing that each strike hurts him as much as his opponent.
Weapons: A simple black staff, and the artifacts listed below.
Tengu no Kakuremino
天狗之隠蓑
Magic Cloak of the Tengu. The personal artifact of Azana Brown. A long black length of cloth with properties similar to active camouflage. The ‘interior’ of the cloak is in fact a pocket space, with a traditional Japanese home and garden.
Cure Materia – a long-cherished gift from a strange band of visitors, it gives its bearer the capability to use healing magic. In this chaotic atmosphere, however, its ability has been unreliable at best, with about a 1/6 chance it will actually heal at all and an equal chance of causing pain to its target. Even when it works, the effect fluctuates.
Powers: Psychokinesis (up to 250 lbs.), clairvoyance (erratic), telepathy, psychic shields (limited range/number), InfoSpike (uncontrollable)
Strengths: Willpower, Aikido training
Weaknesses: Hesitant in combat, depressive episodes
Etc: Sosol’s psychic sensitivity has been severely limited in range since the event. He likens it to looking out through fog…after a certain distance, he cannot sense a thing. The distance depends on the concentration of chaotic energies.
****************
Gaia Username: Azana Brown
Character Name: Kristen Wyatt
Age: 24
Physical Description: Kristen is relatively short, standing only 5’4”, and weighs in at 110 lbs. Her blond hair shifts into orange tips, a style she keeps in memory of an old friend, and her hazel eyes have matured over the years, reflecting the fire within her. She prefers to wear warm colors and always treasures her fire crystal necklace, her only birthday gift that survived the event.
Mental Description: The past six years have made Kristen fierce to near ruthlessness, no longer able to hold to her polite mannerisms in the face of ever-increasing danger to herself and those around her. She has fully embraced her fiery nature and does not hesitate to use it against those who oppose her will or threaten her brother. When not out setting the world on fire, she spends her anxious energy organizing and cleaning up their base of operations.
Biography (50 words or less): Kristen left Delphi to see the world, and only witnessed its end. Her short-lived training is now getting a trial by fire, one she’s passing with flying colors and a wake of scorched corpses. After all, through fire, nature is reborn whole…or so she heard so long ago.
Weapons: Kristen tends to rely on her flames, though she will occasionally use melee weapons such as blades or pipes if the situation calls for it.
Powers: Pyrokinesis, prophecy
Strengths: Firepower, Organizational ability
Weaknesses: Overheating/fevers, Tyler’s messy room
Etc: She, like Sol, has experienced a hindrance to her psychic sensitivity based on the concentration of chaotic energy.
****************
Gaia Username: Azana Brown
Character Name: Tyler Hunter
Age: 37
Physical Description: Tyler is somewhat short for a man at 5’8”, weighing around 160 lbs. His dark hair is streaked with a few grays, Stella’s enchantment having died with her, and his dark eyes shift expressions with his mental state, from intense concentration to pure homicidal intent. He walks with a limp, his leg never fully healing from the trauma six years ago.
Mental Description: Tyler had a history of mental health issues, and while many of them were feigned, some were real, and they have only been magnified by the wavelengths of chaos that wash over the land. During his times of lucidity, he is articulate, sarcastic, and generally the man everyone came to love six years ago, albeit more antisocial. Other times, he is highly paranoid and manic, assembling and taking apart objects or scribbling mad rants into his many books that lie around his disorganized room.
Biography (50 words or less): Tyler’s self-proclaimed “second life” was spared a gruesome death by his own paranoia. Now in a twisted parallel to his years of hiding and plotting, he desperately seeks to save the world’s knowledge for the future, even if he loses his shaken wits in the process.
Weapons: An array of traps, throwing knives, and a large wrench for anyone who survives the previous two.
Powers: Besides his genius, none.
Strengths: Trap-making, salvaging, sewing
Weaknesses: Psychotic episodes, recurring nightmares
****************
Gaia Username: ultimashade
Character Name: Erik Vanlen
Age: 34
Physical Description: Erik still looks mostly the same after all this time, although he bears new scars on his body from his failure. He is constantly surrounded in a dark aura from his powers going out of control. His right arm appears red with sharp claws.
Mental Description: Erik is still pretty calm, though he is quicker to rage due to how much he has lost.
Biography (50 words or less):Erik survived almost certain death by the sacrifices of his friends and family. His wife was killed trying to protect him, along with Ultima. Though almost everybody died he planned on keeping himself alive. After the explosion Erik was finally able to stay in one place...that, or he'd die.
Weapons: Erik's weapons include his arm blades, his right arm, three very long katana blades, and Hayabusa's scythe.
Powers: Erik retained control over shadows, but it went wild once and nearly killed him so he is loathe to use shadow magic on himself. He gained demonic abilities when his arm was cursed, making him stronger and faster.
Strengths: Erik is still a master assassin with control over shadows, and now he has demonic magic. Erik has the tactical advantage when it comes right down to it, he has become much better than he was six years ago. In darkness he also appears stronger, prehaps a side effect of the curse.
Weaknesses: Erik can not enter holy areas without being heavily weaker since his arm was transformed. If he remains in a holy zone for too long he will be close to dead and unable to fight.
Etc: Erik has Death's Scythe, he barely ever uses it as a weapon however out of respect for his deceased brother.
****************
Gaia Username: Enradus
Character Name: Enradus
Age: Altogether, he has existed for a few centuries over two millennia. His current form is the body of a human who has aged 30 to 35 years.
Physical Description: About 6'. Tan skin, curly white hair, orange-gold eyes. The moon in his hair has darkened completely to leave a dark crescent, a 'new moon.' His clothes now consist of what he had been wearing to a cosplay as a human before he returned: A red designed shirt, a blunt spiked bracelet on his right hand, his left arm half-wrapped in a cloth, a pair of fitting brown pants with gray shoes, and a pair of dog tags, the gift from Enta that was held for him by King.
Mental Description: Stable, but near to fraying. With the hit of the apocalypse and Enta's new personality, even the likes of his personality have him teetering just the slightest. But knowing that Enta is still Enta, he does his best to keep on top of things. Often rubbing his dog tags and mumbling to himself when he's alone or not doing much. His former cheer hasn't disappeared, but it only reveals itself when he feels it appropriate or when he feels he actually has any left.
Biography: During four of the the six years of the Apocalyptica, Enra was made to be forced into human death in an alternate dimension. Whitesteel managed to get him back by sacrificing himself, but also ended up aging him, making his moon disappear and his hair white. He now accompanies what is left of the IoP family...
Weapons: Keeps slingshot in pocket, with a bag of eighteen marbles as ammo. Carries a pair of brass knuckles in his back pockets,
Powers: His former immortality has been lost, but Whitesteel's sacrifice and a luckily good strike of chaotic energy managed to grant Enra some boosted regenerative abilities, helping him survive serious wounds and recover much faster than normal people. This slows his aging process and makes him remarkably healthy save for an unusual coughing fit that even he can't explain.
Strengths: When a problem arises, he settles into fixing it as soon as he can, a habit of his past Keeper life. He's flexible, giving orders if no one else will, and accepting them if some else is willing to take point. Excels in fighting (barehanded or with weapons), scavenging, mental support.
Weaknesses: Lately, he has started to detach himself a lot from this time. His moon damaged, the memories of two millenia he existed is open now and fully accesible. Before he arrived at the IoP base, he scanned through the entire two thousand year compendium. Now he can read and see each memory whenever he likes, but the side effect has caused his slight coughing fits and a tendency to space out. Bad with math.
Etc: He now has a new opinion of cats.
****************
Gaia Username: Enradus
Character Name: Howard E. Llars
Age: 41
Physical Description: Now stuck in his dragon form. His scaled body is red, with horns protruding from the back of his head to resemble the spikes he used to mold his hair into in the back. Eyes are still red, arms are strangely longer than the rear legs, making him hunch over often and sit with these resting on the ground he sits on. The claws of each of these arms consists of three clawed fingers. His wings are kept folded to his back, like a backpack or parachute of sorts.
Mental Description: Sane. A little angry with the inactivity of his race, but can't complain much more beyond that... sort of.
Biography: Whilst sealing Albee away, the power of chaos interrupted and glitched a sealing corner, letting Albee out and strengthening him as he disappeared in a sulfurous blue cloud. Howard continues to search through the wreckage for him, even while stuck in his dragon form.

Powers: Breathes fire, can deflect most metal blades, flight. Strong sense of scent.

Mental Description: Since the intitial incident, three personalities now inhabit the same body. King, the most dominant and least congruent personality; Hana, now more ruthless and less flirty; and Enta, the softer, more vulnerable personality that is rarely seen by anyone except Enradus.
Biography: During the initial explosion of energy, Hana was hurled back into Enta's body, but the sudden influx of energy abd remergence of the previously separated personality caused a new personality, King, to energe. Now, he is part of the group of survivors of the Inn and his occasional "Feelings" about the Fifth's movements help keep the group out of most major trouble.

Powers: Somewhat heightened sense of smell and hearing, night vision, and the occasional "Feeling" about the movements of the Fifth and his minions.

Character Name: Eliwood MacPere
Age: 50
Physical Description: Red hair now awash with grey, Eliwood now adorns an eye patch over his right eye, covering a shrapnel wound that took his sight. His right leg is crippled as he split the bone in two and tore muscles and tendons. The bone never set properly, but he never minded it. He merely joked that he wouldn't be as effective as a human shield for his husband. Crow's feet and smile lines have now been etched into his features for good, which, as a strange turn of fate, he no longer cares for. His vanity remains, but not to such a powerful degree.
Mental Description: A man of grim humour, his sense of optimism has become chocked full of oxymorons. His mind is somewhat stable, but the ribbon barring his anger has loosened to a feeble knot, the slightest of tugs causing it to fall away. He isn't shy about brutal violence against anyone except his husband.
Biography: Desperate to save those he held dear, he grew frantic during the aftermath of the explosion, the necessity to survive with those remaining overpowering his nurtured instinct to hide and let everyone take care of it.

****************

Character Name: Oswald von Eichelberger
Age: 42
Physical Description: Appearing essentially the same as years previous, he now holds himself with a much quieter demeanour. His hands are constantly holding his lower stomach.
Mental Description: Holding a more demure approach, he is still every bit as loving and affectionate towards beings as he has always been, especially toward his Remy-poo.
Biography (50 words or less): His shared home was raided and, after a brief stint of using himself as a human shield against those less able and fighting them off as best he could, Oswald found himself and those in the building overwhelmed and knocked unconscious.
Weapons: Arcane magic, poles and improvised weapons. His beloved staff, Remus, was lost in the chaos.
Powers: Arcane magics and summoning abilities; limited due to his lack of will and the surrounds.
Strengths: Devotion towards those he cares for and a sense of reality.
Weaknesses: However devoted, it is hopelessly turned toward Remy. He is also deathly afraid of a certain breed of monster he'd found feasting around him when he'd woken.
Etc: His only friend and companion stems from the limitations of his summoning magic.
