Hey guys! As you may have seen, our finalized avatars are due by the end of the week, and our finalized characters are due a week before the ball. I wanted to go ahead and make threads for all of our AURB needs so that we can be as efficient and organized as possible in the coming month.
This thread will be where we post our final versions of both our avatars and our characters. I realize we have a Rough Characters thread, but since those are ever-changing as we develop our characters, I felt this space would be beneficial to have as a static, more permanent list. So, once you're completely ready with either your character bio or avatar, or both, feel free to add them below!

Name: Huitloxopetl (Steve)
Age: Unknown (Ancient Ones experience time in a non-linear fashion)
Gender: Male
Job/Occupation: Former Ancient One when he resided in Sygroth, the dark-laden galaxy at the end of the universe; now he just floats around the Underworld and converses.
Describe Personality in 3 Words: chill, slow-paced, clever
Backstory: Huitloxopetl was once an Ancient One, a powerful deity-like entity in Sygroth, a monster galaxy at the ends of the universe. In a spell designed to cast the Ancient One out of Sygroth, defectors of the cult that once followed Huitloxopetl inadvertently sent him to the Underworld. Huitloxopetl awoke with most of his powers stripped from him. The once colossal being, known by many terrifying names, was now the size of a human. He had retained his more grotesque features, such as tentacles and glowing eyes that would cause the most hardened soul to shudder, but they had been molded into a much more humanoid form. It took some time to get used to this form, but he could still fly, so he was spared the torture of having to learn to walk.
Huitloxopetl spent many years wandering the Underworld, floating about in self-reflection. He was truly humbled by the uprising his once loyal followers had caused. After several million years (it is unknown exactly how long, as Ancient Ones do not experience time the same as mortals), Huitloxopetl noticed other beings appearing in the Underworld. He had long ago vowed to refrain from influencing any lesser being, and remained in the shadows, watching the Underworld develop.
Once it had become populated enough that his presence would go unnoticed, Huitloxopetl decided to enter society. Knowing that no one would be able to pronounce his R'lyehian name, he had a difficult time coming up with a new name. As he roamed the streets of the Underworld, he came upon a used nametag. It read "Hi, My Name Is: Steve." So Huitloxopetl adopted the pseudonym Steve, hoping to abandon all traces of his past and live a new life in the Underworld.
Other: While most of Steve's godly powers have been taken away, he retains a few useful abilities. He can still fly, and chooses to float most everywhere, rarely ever touching the ground. He also still experiences time in a non-linear manner, so he tends to appear and disappear in random intervals. He may have information about future events, but if he reveals it, it is in a way that is difficult to interpret.
Also, as he was once known as "The Haunter of Dreams", he has the ability to influence the dreams of others, though he rarely does so.

Name: Pestilence (or Pesty) Age: since the creation of the world Gender: Male Job/Occupation: One of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse Describe Personality in 3 Words: grumpy, lazy, hauty Backstory: Pestilence is one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, who is responsible for plagues and diseases. He is often ridiculed for his choice of attire and those who do usually end up with an affliction. Aside from his bad hygiene, his white horse contrasts his green glow. Pesty takes his horse wherever he goes; they are thick as thieves as other demons would describe. This grump hates having to do things for other people, having no incentive or seriousness to get anything done. Even so, he finds himself ignorantly superior to others as he sees them nothing more than peons. He almost caused another plague when tensions were rising about who the next heir to the throne would be. Pesty hated Ethyl's warring siblings but was relieved that Ethyl was next in line. After a few years of her reign he still continues to be the lazy demon he is. For the up and coming party, he is not up to the idea of conversing with other people but he might cause an epidemic or two... if he is up to it. Other:

Name: Yassen Age: Older than recorded Gaian history. (Time and distance don't really apply in the spiritual world so determining a being's age is impossible and stupid.) Gender: Male Job/Occupation: Bodyguard to the Demon King Describe Personality in 3 Words: Resolute, Naive, Loyal. Backstory: In Gaian demonology Yassen is named as a Djinn who was captured by angels and grew up among them, eventually rising to lead among the highest of angels. However, there is only a grain of truth to this story. Yassen is in fact, also an angel, but the attributes Gaians have come to know angels for, are far removed from what angels truly are. Raised by some of the most vicious, militant creatures on this side of the spiritual realm, he knew only violence, and his life consisted of nothing but death and destruction. He grew to become one of their most feared warriors - even among his own kind. Many battles were fought between angels and demons, and when news of the coronation of a new, younger - and perhaps inexperienced - Demon King reached the ears of the angels, Yassen was immediately given the task of killing the new Demon King - and he took to it with relish. He didn't however, count on the young Ethyl having a card up her sleeve. With a voice like a golden honey pot, she calmed the broiling rage that consumed his mind, and for the first time in his existence, he was treated with kindness by another. Fearing the alien feeling she instilled in him, he attempted to flee, but Ethyl had already seized her chance to sedate him, and before he could escape, he blacked out. When he awoke, he was treated with further kindness by Ethyl, much to the confusion and dismay of her siblings, who demanded his head on a silver platter for the demonic blood on his hands. Ethyl however, had other plans; she wanted to make Yassen her loyal servant, as a message to the enemy. After all, what better way to send a message than to make the most elite warrior her loyal pet? Now given the opportunity to think for himself, he swore allegiance to Ethyl of his own volition - knowing full well he would be killed by his own kind for his failure - and has stayed by her side as her bodyguard ever since.  (avatar is just a rough one atm, will probably add a sword or something later idfk)

Name: Alo (nickname is Al but he hates it) Age: Looks 16 but older than he looks. Doesn't want to say actually age because it will show how long he's been lost in the underworld. Gender: Male Job/Occupation: Wandering Shaman Describe Personality in 3 Words: Tsundere, Childish, Stubborn. Backstory: Consider a prodigy in his village he attempted the coming of age spiritual journey the exact moment he turned 16. Without any one knowing he set off to his trial of wandering through the underworld where the main goal was to learn, use, and trust the spirits he encounter so he'll be able to find the exit home. Even though he’d gain knowledge and is efficient in using the spirits full compatibility, he’s too stubborn to trust any of the underworld residents which results in him not able to find the exit. He ignored all conventions and rebelled against the underworld residents warnings leaving him to get into trouble most of the time. Even if he does listen to their directions he just ends up getting lost which cause him to think that they tricked him in some way. This results in him getting frustrated and throwing tantrums in private where the spirits that became attach to him take pity on him and spoil him. After years of continued wandering, the residents had come to treat him as their own even though he stubbornly demises this and yet deep down he's grateful. Other: His power is able to control and command spirits within the underworld. Has knowledge of healing and medicine. Only known weakness is he easily provoke, teased, and has a poor sense of direction. This results in him making mistakes that backfires on him. It seems his time in the underworld stopped his aging process. Gets lonely after wandering alone for awhile but won't admit it.

Name: Rosier Age: Unknown Gender: Female Job/Occupation: Reaper Describe Personality in 3 Words: Placid, detached, dedicated Backstory: Every night, Rosier would go out to do her job, roaming the same city night after night, claiming the souls of the people who were destined to die. It was a job she liked, as it did not bore her, a new free show or drama most of the time. But there were also those deaths that made her sad. She tried her best to make the passing easier, and to that end she would only take the lives of dying men. It was easy to convince them into willingly giving up their souls, and the sight of her eased them before they went on to the afterlife, or to wherever they believed they will go. Life went on like this for many years for Rosier, until what she that was the impossible happened. She fell in love. It mattered not that she was a Reaper, and him a mere mortal, but unfortunately, as a mortal, he would have to die some day. And that day came too soon. After having to take the life of her love, she could not stay there. The city she had forever roamed now held her most painful memories, so she left. Now Rosier goes wherever death calls her, wandering the realms and sending dying souls to the underworld. When she heard of this event being hosted, she decided to return to the Underworld for some time to help the new Demon King...and perhaps separate some souls if they cause any trouble for Ethyl... Other: While Rosier more often waits for a being to die naturally, she is capable of forcibly separating a soul from it's body (usually using her scythe). She can also materialize wherever she wants, a power all reapers have. Avatar:

Name: Ethyl Age: 400 years young Gender: Female Job/Occupation: Demon King, The Title doesnt change no matter the gender of King Describe Personality in 3 Words: Chaotic, Cheerful, Forceful Backstory: Ethyl's family was surprisingly lax in Ethyl's unbringing, as she was 10th in line for the throne and didnt seem to have drive to become King unlike her siblings who bickered and fought whenever with each other, often leading to injuries and the occasional death, each whom wished to take the title and power for themselves. Her Parents took her not taking apart of the violence and power struggle as a sign that she was more mature and responsible than her siblings and with their retirement named her Demon King over all of her siblings. The AURB takes place within the first few years of her reign and she is still struggling to work out how to be a good Demon King for her people and to keep good relationships between the realms. The markings around her face and body are the what show her as the ruling Demon King, as objects such as crowns are easily stolen they decided to use those to show her position. The crown she wears is purely decretive and has no meaning to her position. Her eldest brother was none too happy when "she took the crown from him, whom as the oldest /should/ have gotten it", he often doesn't obey anything she has asked from him and if he does he's looked for loopholes in what she has asked and done it differently.
