[hider=Zeus] [i][b]Name:[/b][/i] Zeus [i][b]Species:[/b][/i] Humanoid Spirit [i][b]Alignment:[/b][/i]Neutral [i][b]Partner:[/b][/i] Logan Spark [i] [b]Faction:[/b][/i] The Mythic Accord [i][b]Sex:[/b][/i] Male [i][b]Age:[/b][/i] He was born around 2000 BCE [i][b]Appearance:[/b][/i] Zeus generally takes the form of a middle aged man who stands at about 6'5”. His hair is a mixture of black and gray and falls to around the top of his neck. He has a well trimmed beard that sits at the same length. His body is powerfully built though often covered by a sleek, black suit with a white undershirt and a simple red tie. His eyes are bright blue and at times seem to glow or spark with power, most often when he is angry. His true form resembles that of the tales and legends. A large, powerful man, with snow white hair and a longer, thicker beard. His eyes glow a vibrant electric blue and look as if they are formed from lightening. His clothes are a simple white toga that covers the lower half of his body while leaving his torso exposed. [hider=True form] [img]http://orig10.deviantart.net/ce11/f/2013/314/4/3/zeus_by_genzoman-d1qn6k2.jpg[/img] [/hider] [i][b]Aura: [/b][/i]His aura most often appears as strands of blue electricity that flow around his body in a random manner. When angered, the bands of electricity appear more frequently and he becomes surrounded by wisps of clouds. These clouds range from a pale white to a dark, foreboding black. [i][b]Personality:[/b][/i] Zeus is a man of many moods, some of them dangerous. Though his face may seem stoic, laughter comes easy to him. He can be kind and loving to those who are in need, but has a fierce temper and has no qualms with punishing those he deems deserving. He is wise, but unpredictable. Perhaps his greatest flaw is that he easily falls in lust with the beautiful. [i] [b]Biography:[/b][/i] Zeus' history is one well documented throughout Greek mythology. Zeus was born of the titans Cronus and Rhea. He would have been eaten by Cronus soon after his birth but his mother hid him, giving Cronus a “rock wrapped in swaddling clothes,” which Cronus quickly devoured. When he was old enough, Zeus freed his sibling from the stomach of his father. The Greeks wrote of many battles between the gods and the titans, but in the end Zeus and his siblings came out on top. For many years after that Zeus ruled over Greece as the king of the gods (as far as the Greeks were concerned at least) until the time of the Seven Seals, when he and all the other spirits that inhabited the planet were locked in the spirit world. Zeus spent most of his time in the spirit world studying the various forms of magic , their strengths and their weaknesses. Though he was one of the most powerful members of the Mythic Accord, little ever seemed to get done, each of the god heads being more focused on their own people rather then the good of the entire organization. Still, while they stood together The Celestiarchy and the Infernal Legion would not dare attack so Zeus took it upon himself to learn all that he could. The seven seals both fascinated and infuriated him as he was cut off from his people. He searched tirelessly for a way to break the seven seals but was never able to find anything effective. He and those in his command made a replica of Mount Olympus in the Inner Calm. It was as close to a paradise as heaven was in many ways, though it was plagued occasionally by squabbles and plots. Still, it was a peaceful place where the brave and good were allowed to rest and be merry while in relative safety. After the Millennial Day, Zeus immediately returned to Greece to reestablish his reign. He has remained ever cautious of the Infernal Legion, The Celestiarchy, and the The Reclamation of Chaos. He knows all to well the The Infernal Legion and The Reclamation would see the world burn if they could, and though open war is currently out of the question with either group he still watches them closely. And the Celestiarchy's literal "holier then thou" attitude seems to have a special way of infuriating Zeus. And while he has watched the other groups with some interest, he remains neutral about them, although he does have some hope for the Millennial Union, even if they are naive in their mission. He has worked tirelessly to restore the former prestige and power of his once home land. In order to truly achieve his wish, Zeus decided to partner with a young but powerful magic user named Logan. Though their personalities at time conflict, the two are an impressive team and each share goals of turning Greece, (and perhaps the world,) into a paradise for those who are deserving. [i][b]Skills:[/b][/i] Zeus is a charismatic and talented speaker able to motivate or terrify with nothing but his words. He speaks several languages besides just Greek and English; including, Japanese, German, Latin, Arabic, and some other less useful languages. His knowledge of magic is also impressive, his specialty being in elemental magic, though he has at least a general knowledge of most other forms of magic. Finally, he is a rather fierce warrior, talented in both close and medium range combat. He has studied various forms of martial arts and is talented with both a sword and a Javelin. [i][b]Abilities:[/b][/i] Zeus' powers are well known from the mythology, most of them concentrating around the creation of lightening and thunder. [i]Electricity Manipulation:[/i] Zeus is able to wield electricity like a weapon, sending forth blasts or bolts of energy or manipulating and bending electrical currents that are already present. He is also able to send lightening strikes down from the storms he summons. [i]Superior Strength:[/i] As one would expect from a spirit who was once worshiped as a god, Zeus is an impressively strong being with the ability to pick up object no being of his size should be able to. This makes him dangerous in close combat. [i]Shape Shifting:[/i] Zeus' has a long history of taking the shape of animals, his two most famous being that of a bull and that of a swan. [i]Weather Control:[/i] Zeus is able to control the weather itself, creating large and powerful storms, or simply bringing rain to villages plagued by drought. This ability is slightly limited in that the larger the storm Zeus wishes to create, the more energy it requires. However, he is a master of lightening and air magic and is able to control how much energy he places into each storm in order to get the exact effect he desires. [i][b]Soulshards:[/b] [/i] [i]Thunderbolt:[/i] Zeus' thunderbolt is a unique weapon gifted to him by the cyclops. He can wield it either as a sword or a Javelin. As a sword the thunderbolt can be difficult to block as any weapon that conducts electricity would be electrified, possibly shocking the wielder. As a Javelin the thunderbolt releases a devastating explosion of energy while the soul fragment teleports back to him, readying for another blast.

His body is well toned and muscular, but still slim. His hair is a mixture of black and blonde, though which is the natural color few can tell, and falls about to his shoulders. He is clean shaven with a strong chin, and handsome face, and blue eyes that seem to shine with a mischievous air. His clothes are generally pretty plane, jeans a t-shirt and most often a hoodie. The only other thing of any interest about his appearance is the two swords he wheres strapped onto his back at almost all times, and the easy going grin that is always plastered across his lips. [hider=Logan] [img]http://orig01.deviantart.net/f9d8/f/2012/268/a/0/a066c745b749121fe2aaae3881c2ca82-d5fxhb3.jpg[/img] [/hider] [i][b]Aura:[/b][/i] Logan's aura sky blue in color and seems to have the consistency of air. It gives off an impression of being free and joyous, is at times a little bit mischievous. [i][b]Personality: [/b][/i]Logan is about as care free and happy as they come. He rarely come off as serious, even in battle, and he can almost always be seen smiling and gazing off into the distance. This does not mean that he cant be serious, far from it. In truth, Logan takes combat and the dealings of the world very seriously, he just chooses to hide it behind a smile. He is somewhat of a trouble maker, enjoying his pranks and jokes, but never sets out to hurt anyone. He is fearless and kindhearted, and has a special place in his heart for those who cant defend themselves. [i][b] Biography:[/b][/i] Logan is the son of a leading magitech scientist named Dr. Jonas Spark. His mother died giving birth to a premature Logan, something which Logan has secretly blamed himself for sense discovering the tragedy. His father, however, never once blamed Logan for the death of his wife, choosing instead to be thankful for the miracle of his son's survival. Logan was born after only 28 weeks of pregnancy. Doctors were never quite sure what caused him to be born so early, and for the relatively healthy pregnancy to turn so drastically. For months Logan was barely holding on, even with many of the miracles of modern medicine most of the medical officials who took care of Logan were sure he wouldn't make it. And then something...changed. One morning, when Dr. Jonas came in to check on his infant son, he found him laying there, a multitude of wires and machines hooked up the tiny infants body. But instead of looking sick or crying like he had been, the infant was smiling, his eyes wide with delight, and an obvious blue aura surrounding the child like a blanket. Dr. Jonas had almost no magical abilities, but even he could see the the blue aura that swirled around his son. From that point on Logan was one of the healthiest children one could imagine. He rarely ever got sick, and even when he did it usually passed within a few days. He developed none of the usual long term health problems that comely plague infants born prematurely. On top of this he quickly began to demonstrate impressive magical abilities, most of them seeming to revolve around telekinesis. By age 10 Logan was an extremely active young man, always searching for new ways to use his ever developing powers, and generally getting in trouble for his efforts. It wasn't long before Dr. Jonas realized his son needed a way to expend his energy more effectively. He knew that sports were the way most parents got their children to disburse their extra pent up energy, but when Dr. Jonas asked Logan what sort of sport he wanted to play, the young man energetically replied, "I want to play with swords!" After resisting his sons..unusual choice of activity, Dr Jonas eventually gave in and allowed Logan to dive into the world of swordsmanship. Over the next 15 years Logan worked tirelessly under the tutelage of various swordsmen. He learned fencing, Haidong Gumdo, and various forms of Japanese and Chinese swordsmanship styles, eventually combining them into his own strange, yet highly effective, art of swordsmanship. Combined with his continuous efforts to expand his magical abilities, Logan become a fierce warrior, mostly because it was something he found entertaining. On multiple occasion Logan was approached by other spirits, each of whom he turned down. The spirit of Hercules was the first to approach him, and while Logan was tempted, he ended up turning the ancient hero down, never really revealing why. The second was something darker, a being who attempted to trick Logan into a pact with him so that could try to dominate the young man. Luckily, Logan was not fooled and refused the spirit. He was never sure of exactly who the second spirit was, only that it was powerful, and twisted. 5 years ago, Logan finally ended up partnering with Zeus. He never really told anyone why he and Zeus decided to team up, although one would likely have to be insane to turn down the god of thunder himself. Despite differences in personality the two seem to get along quite well. They share similar opinions about the Infernal Legion, The Celestiarchy, and the The Reclamation of Chaos. Logan finds them irritating and pushy. Logan openly despises The Protectorate of Humanity, calling them fascists who would rather destroy and manipulate spirits simply because they don't understand them. While he joined the Mythic Accord to make things easier between him and Zeus, his true sympathies lie with the Millennial Union. He has pushed on many occasions for Zeus to try and solidify the two factions alliance, however, he has met with little success. [b][i]Skills:[/i][/b] [i]Swordsmanship:[/i] Most of Logans life has been devoted to studying and mastering different styles of swordsmanship. He has studied fencing styles as well as various Korean, Japanese, and Chinese forms. While he is not a master with any of these forms, he is extremely proficient in each and has managed to adapt his own, unique style of fighting, one that combines the various styles he has studied and his own style of telekinetic magic. [i]Agility, Endurance, and Strength:[/i] From years of practice Logan has developed an impressive amount of strength and Endurance. His body is hard and strong and he has a high tolerance for pain, likely due to all the times he has been hit by wooden swords. His training has also made him rather agile. [i]Ingenuity:[/i] Logan's mind is always working on new and inventive ways to get into trouble. He is very adept at improvising and often acts in, unconventional, ways. [i]Engineering: [/i]Over the years, Logan has picked up a good deal of general engineering knowledge from his father. While he has nowhere near the level of knowledge and understanding his father does, he is fairly good and figuring out how something works, and how to break it. [i][b]Abilities: [/b][/i] [i]Telekinesis:[/i] This is Logan's primary ability, in which he sends out invisible hands of mana to grab and push objects in the world around him. Those with a powerful enough sixth sense will be able to see the the mana appendages, however, even to the most skilled with will generally only appear as colorless, somewhat mist-like blur. He has several ways in which he mostly commonly uses these powers; [u][i]Telekinetic Grab:[/i][/u] This power is pretty much exactly as it sounds. Logan will grab a nearby object and then either push or pull it. While he has been known to use these abilities to throw swords grab opponents, he often uses it to propel or pull himself, using nearby larger objects as anchors. This allows him to move in erratic and generally unpredictable ways. [u][i]Telekinetic Edge:[/i][/u] Logan is able to create a small edge around his swords made up of telekinetic energy. He make the edge grow or shrink very quickly and to most the edge is invisible. This makes his technique unpredictable and, at times, hard to block. As mentioned earlier, someone with a powerful enough sixth sense can see the faint misty blur that Logans telekinetic abilities give off. [u][i]Telekinetic Flight:[/i][/u] Logan uses his telekinetic abilities to push himself off nearby objects or against the earths gravitational pull, allowing him fly at a fairly quick speed. To change direction he simply unleashes a burst of energy in the opposite direction he wishes to go. He also likes to use his telekinetic powers to grab onto nearby objects and pull or push on them, sending him quickly in one direction or another and making his movement more erratic and hard to predict. [i]Minor Healing:[/i] Logan seems to have an innate ability to heal himself. He seems to resist becoming sick, and when he does come down with something he get better after only a few days. His injuries also heal more quickly then most peoples and his body does not seem to scar. However, he has no actual control over this ability, meaning he cannot heal himself immediately. The power will also slowly drain mana from him without his consent or control while he is healing. [i] Mind Disable:[/i] This is a power that Logan despises, and in most situations, refuses to use. It seems to be almost an involuntary reaction, occurring only in times of immense stress or danger. The power seems to suppress and opponents mind making them unable to move, but forcing Logan to devote his attention entirely on the target. The problem with this power seems to be that Logan has little control over its severity, and has accidentally left at least one person with permanent brain damage, almost destroying their mind entirely. For this reason Logan avoids using the ability at all costs, refusing to even practice with it out of fear of seriously harming another person. [i] [b]Soulshards:[/b][/i] None [i] [b]Possessions:[/b] [/i]Logan has a pair of technomagic swords. The swords allow him to easily channel his mana through them, requiring less concentration and energy to use his kinetic edge ability. The swords are also extremely durable and do not lose their edge very quickly. [/hider] [hider=Hercules] Name: Hercules (Heracles) Species: Humanoid Spirit Alignment: Neutral Partner: Melanie York Faction: Millennial Union Sex: Male Age: He was born around 1000 BCE Appearance: Hercules is a picture of manliness. He stands around 6'6", with a strong jaw and chiseled features. His body is strikingly powerful with large, chiseled muscles, broad shoulders, and almost no body fat to be spoken of. His muscular physique somehow looks natural, while on others it may look absurd. His hair is thick and black with a slight curl that falls to roughly shoulder length. His face is clean shaven and his eyes are a dark green. He prefers to dress as he did in the old days, wearing a loincloth like garment that covers most of his lower body to about his knees, and the Pelt of the Nemean Lion across his back like a cape. Aura: Hercules' aura is gold and thin. It flows from his body almost like his skin itself glows and gives off an earthy sent. Those who gaze upon the aura feel courageous and strong. Personality: Hercules lives up to his legend as an ancient hero. He is kind, fearless, and unshakable in his resolve. He is slow to anger, but his rage is a terrible sight to behold. He has a fondness and love for those who cannot defend themselves, and revels in the success of the underdog, but respects those he considers worthy of the strength they possess. He is generally lighthearted and quick to laugh or joke with others, and has an intelligent, tactful mind. Biography: The legends of Hercules are far reaching and many. Perhaps he is best known for the aptly named "Twelve Labours of Hercules" which ranged from killing the fierce Hydra, to capturing the terrifying Cerberus who guarded the very entrance to Hades. Throughout his life, Hercules was a hero, who tried his best to help all those who were in need. Since Millennial Day, not much has actually changed for the ancient hero. His sole purpose in life still seemed to be the protection of those who could not protect themselves. Hercules had some difficulty in finding a partner in the early days. He found, to his dismay, that many of the human mages quickly became greedy, or corrupted by their power. The weak seemed to be too hesitant to take on Hercules as a partner, and those who were eager sought only to increase their own strength and cared nothing for the plight of others. For a while, Hercules thought he might have found a partner in the young Logan Spark, however, after some consideration the young man turned him down; stating that their powers did not quite match, and that Hercules would find someone who truly needed and deserved his strength. Despite the rejection, Logan and Hercules became close, and now consider each other friends, even training together from time to time. Hercules searched for some time until he finally came across Melanie. The girl was an orphan, with incredible potential, but almost no training. When Hercules did approach Melanie she was apprehensive but excited, quickly agreeing to join Hercules on his journey to see the world become a better place. The two have been partners for a little over 2 years now, and though Melanie is still young and inexperienced, her power and their teamwork have both grown exponentially. Hercules and Melanie decided to join the Millennial Union, as their goals to seem to correlate. They had originally considered joining the Mythic Accord, however, the fit did not feel right. Instead, Hercules works closely with Logan in an attempt to solidify the alliance between the Millenial Union and the Mythic Accord. Hercules cares little for the Celestiarchy, believing that they are misguided and dangerous. He harbors almost a hatred of the Infernal Legion, seeing them as nothing but monsters bent on cruelty. And Hercules and Reclamation of Chaos are contently at odds, though that may be expected when ones greatest deeds include hunting and killing some of the most terrible monsters the world has ever known. As far as the other factions are concerned Hercules gives them little thought, not really trusting any of them, but not really trying to upset their plans either.
