From the mountainous regions of Tolrian to the spiked cliffs of the Kiera Coast stretches a wide, land of primal wilderness dotted with small kingdoms and the like. Malgahress is the only known continent of the world Cyria, the other lands lie distant in the corners of the world. Malgahress dominates the seas and is the crux upon which all else turns, a land that is filled with mythical creatures, powerful magic and prophecies which have yet to be fulfilled.
The continent, 'Malgahress' spans more than thirty-five hundred leagues from east to west and twenty-five hundred from north to south. It's lands include frozen wastelands, deep humid jungles, foreboding mountains, and gleaming inland seas. Across this vast expanse travel minstrels and peddlers, caravan merchants and guards, soldiers, sailors, and steel-hearted adventurers carrying tales of glorious, strange, faraway places.
The known roads of Malgahress are dangerous to travell. Fel magic, deadly monsters and cruel local rulers are example of a manner of perils that you face while you are abroad in Malgahress. Away from the main roads and the great cities, the countryside is far wilder than the city folk remeber. Even farms and freeholds within a day's walk of a city may fall prey to monsters, and no place in Malgahress is safe from the sudden wrath of a dragon.

Loraya
Name:
Loraya 'Lor' Shortstaff
Race:
Human
Gender:
Female
Appearance:
Lor is 5' 4" with long golden yellow hair. She wears tight fitting black clothes and a large ribbon that ties her hair back. Her boots are big and black, coming up to her thighs. A sling across her chest holds a few throwing daggers and a harness which holds her compactable trident at her side. On the other side of the sling is a small bag which contains many random things, including her theiving tools and some poisons and antidotes.
Skills/Training/Abilities:
Pickpocketing, thieving, stealing and theiving. She's had over 15 years of training which have given her some other abilities, including shadow jumping and phantom images and sounds.
Weapon/Equipment:
Lor has many throwing daggers hidden in her boots and clothing, let alone the few she has on display most of the time. Her trident is custom made so it folds down into three segments, each two foot long. The tines are a foot and a half long and are razor sharp on the outsides so Lor can slash and stab. Her backpack contains many random things she's picked up in her travels, including a shortbow, all her theiving tools and her many poisons and antidotes. And yes, her small, half foot square backpack is magical to hold all this.
Age:
29
History:
Lor was an orphan for 5 years before she was taken in by an older woman. The woman was one of the major theives in the city and taught the young Lor to fend for herself. At the age of 12, Lor started her 'official' theif training, learning from the woman how to make a living and not getting caught. Lor was caught at the age of 18 when she made the stupidest mistake to try and rob from a mage. The mage, not wanting to waste her talent in a prison cell, kept her in his residence and trained her as his apprentice. She left a couple of years later to continue being a thief, but she rapidly rose to being the best thief with what the mage taught her. In return for the teachings, the mage occasionally got her to steal something he couldn't obtain with magic. She willingly and happily obliged, seeing that the magic he taught her saved her life many times. When Lor hit her 25th birthday, she became the top theif in the city.

Gaian Username Angelic_Illusionz
Name: Sulphur
Race: Elve?
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Skills/Training/Abilities: Magic, Magic, and more magic. He can’t cast divine spells though, and he’s quite fond of illusions and status affecting spells.
Weapon/Equipment: He has a spoon that he’s quite fond of, and it speaks. It has eyes that blink and a small mouth that moves with speech and likes to chew on things. This is his familiar. He also has a bag filled with anything he’d ever need for any spell he’d like to cast that must be prepared instead of just being a spontaneous action.
Age: 213
History: Sulphur’s real name is Farid, but he gave up the name when his life was taken away from him. Yes, he was resurrected from the dead as a young child, and since his body was destroyed his crazed father murdered other elves in secret and used their body parts in a spell to create a new body for his son. Still, he couldn’t find a right eye, so he stole one from a demon. The properties of it he doesn’t know, but there are no seems where limbs were put together, or any color differentiation because he was magically put together. He’s odd, or rather twisted. He finds pleasure in other’s pain, but he finds it hard to use his skills to do so. He is a jolly fellow none-the-less, and if he likes you you’re good to go.

Name: Ryael, or Rye
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Appearance: Dirty blonde hair and black eyes, no iris. Her face is covered in ritualistic scars, ones only those well versed in demonology and the arcane would be able to understand.
Although human, Ryael has a decidely otherworldly look. Something seems strange about her, the way her skin fits over her bones, the way she looks at people, everything. Her hands are the strangest part of her, and if one looks closely enough, they'll see her fingers have one too many joints.
Skills/Training/Abilities: Fighter, barehanded like a monk, but without the official training. Doesn't belong to an order, so isn't technically a monk despite her technique. Has an indepth knowledge of demons and demonology. Can speak their language, as well as several others, to a limited extent. For example, she can say, "It is time to pay your debt" in every language, but can't ask where the bathroom is.
Has residual abilities left over from her servitude. For example, she can see in the dark, is dextrocardic, and has minor control over fire. Nothing awesome like summoning giant fireballs, but enough to cause minor burns someone if she touches someone. Mostly uses the ability for intimidation rather than real harm. Increased resistance to fire and spells cast by demons, weakness to holy spells. Friendly cleric spells, such as heal or blessing by a teammate, will help her less than it will others.
Nothing can hurt her hands except holy water. This is another thing she uses more for intimidation than anything, although she derives great amusement from scaring other by sticking her hands in fire. However, the rest of her is perfectly vulnerable.
Weapon/Equipment: Nothing. She wears no armor, uses no weapons, owns nothing except a weird necklace made from appleseeds.
Age: Unknown, but looks to be in midtwenties.
History: Ryael's father was offered wealth by a demon if he gave him what stood behind his house. Thinking the only thing there was an apple tree, he agreed, but it Rayel was sitting beneath it. When three years were up, the demon appeared, but the girl had kept herself sinless and her hands clean, and the demon was unable to take her. The demon threatened to take the father if he did not chop off the girl's hands, and he did.
Ryael spent the next decade serving the demon in one of the rings of hell, trained to fight barehanded and acting as a messenger/bounty hunter of those who had made contracts with the demon. She was given new hands, taken from her first kill. Eventually, she learned of a loophole to her imprisonment. On her next mission to Earth, she killed her father and destroyed all his possessions, finishing by burning down her childhood home.
After her release, she became a mercenary. Has an affinity for children and cannot abide slavery, especially child slavery.

Name: Kaîa Orrichane (Ka EE ya Orr IH kayn)
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Appearance: Kaîa is short in stature with long brown wavy hair, blue/grey eyes & pale skin. She is of average build and has a musical voice. Kaîa wears a white silk, hooped gown with a grey velvet, long sleeved over robe and black leather slippers. Hidden beneath the gown is grey hose, black leggings and a white shirt. At Kaîa's waist is a silver belt. Hung on the belt is a white silk fan with a silver owl on the pivot.
Skills/Training/Abilities: From a young age, Kaîa was taken into a convent where the girls were trained in the shukuusen. She is also knowledgable in basic hand to hand combat and acrobatics.
Weapon/Equipment: Her shukuusen. A shukuusen is a hand held fan. When the animal at the pivot is twisted, tiny razor sharp spines poke out from the top of the supports. When wielded by a trained person, the shukuusen becomes a whirring blade that is deadly to anyone that comes across them.
Age: 18
History: Kaîa was a member of a small, old noble family until she ran from an arranged marriage and her home. Her first sanctuary was a small convent of priestesses. Although Kaîa was too old to become a priestess, the women trained her with the heavy old metal fans to get her muscles used to the movements. When Kaîa was 17, she graduated from the convent and was given her current shukuusen. Nicknamed "The Owl" for her silence and skill with the fan, she was presented with the silver owl for her pivot.
Kaîa then went wandering across the continent, looking for work. She currently has not found a place to settle down, but is rather milling around in between her old life and a new one.
