Here lies the souls of brave and powerful heroes who slew monsters and evil men alike.

His hair is black, his face and lips are soft, and his figure is quite thin. His eyes always have a deep, penetrating stare. He tends to wear dark colors, either being outright black or blue. His attire is less formal than suits but more formal than normal attire. [/indent] [sub][color=d8996d]◆ I D E O L O G Y[/color][/sub][indent] Ezra has made few friends in his life. He is generally quiet and rarely smiles. He has always felt a world apart from those around them, as in his view they have failed to understand. He has not exactly avoided friendship, yet neither has he made any strong bonds. He is far from shy, but he is generally quiet, and his diligence in his schoolwork sapped away much of his free time. Generally, in regards to other people he is quite cynical, and does not believe that they are of any help to them. Either they mess up, or they don’t really care. Ezra regards himself as fiercely independent. His past has led him to hate the feeling of being controlled. Time and time again he has been controlled, and like a ragdoll he has been thrown around with no thought given to his own feelings and opinions. Never again, Ezra had decided, would that happen to him. Nothing enrages him more than the feeling of being trapped and controlled. He may at times adamantly refuse to compromise on his position, his obstinacy sometimes bordering on immaturity. He is greatly focused on himself and on his own goals. He understands that he has a duty to his school, to his companions, and to the world to fulfill his new role as a guardian, but nonetheless wishes to see his unfinished familial business completed on his own terms. He also has a strong urge to live, and wants to see his missions as a guardian completed without having to put himself at risk. Yet should push come to shove, he shall do what is necessary. [/indent] [sub][color=d8996d]◆ B A C K G R O U N D[/color][/sub][indent] Ezra is the son of Aeon and Maia Melchet. He knows this much, but little else. All his memories from before he was ten years old were apparently wiped away from his mind. He then woke up in the mansion of Elijah Melchet. Elijah told Ezra that he was his father, and commented that he seemed to be suffering from amnesia. Ezra bought it, and believed every word of it. Elijah put Ezra through intense training in order to make him strong, to discipline, to put him under control, and to forcefully make his abilities manifest. After his abilities became manifest, he was sent to Oakridge Academy. Elijah visited often, ostensibly checking on Ezra, although he was truly coming to ensure that he remembered who was in control, and to remind him what his goal was. That was goal was to the pride of the Academy, Oakridge’s greatest student. He became diligent in his studies, withdrawing from his peers, virtually never seeing them outside of class. However, the more he studied the more Ezra grew enthralled with the subjects he was studying, Gaia and spirits, and cared less about simply excelling. His grades did not drop and his diligence did not decrease, but he cared less about the mission Elijah had given him. Then he was visited by a mysterious stranger, who turned out not to be a stranger at all. It was Maia Melchet, his mother, a woman who had been erased from his mind. She told him that she was his mother, and his father was named Aeon, not Elijah. His supposed father, Elijah, had simply deceived him. However, they were soon interrupted and had to part ways, as Elijah was approaching towards them, before she was able to tell him more information. It explained the visions that Ezra would have of things he had never seen before. Ezra had a mental breakdown and nearly went insane from the revelation, but he recovered. It was through his sole friend, Jaina, that he was able to soldier onwards. He looked through some archives, and discovered another portion of the truth. During the great war known as the Calamity twenty years ago, the Melchet siblings Aeon, Elijah, and Augusta fought side by side, all of them becoming war heroes. During the Calamity, Augusta died fighting the Mordrem, but the brothers survived. Soon after the war they had a falling out. That, however, was all the information he could figure out. Ezra wanted to know more. He wanted to know why Elijah had taken him from his father, and where his mother and father were. He no longer obeyed Elijah, and he hadn’t seen him in quite a long time. Family matters were not the only thing he could worry about now, however. He had graduated and become a guardian, and he now a duty to carry out. However, he also had unfinished family business. He had received a note, telling him that if he wanted to know, he should go to Doral. Fortunately, it’s on the way.

Its secondary form is a scopeless sniper rifle. Ezra has spent time becoming skilled in both forms of the weapon.

She tends to prefer lighter colors, especially blue. She also tends to avoid dresses, the exception being during formal events, and tends to prefer blue jeans. [/indent] [sub][color=1a7b30]◆ I D E O L O G Y[/color][/sub][indent] Jaina prefers to take things with a cheerful attitude, and with a bright smile. She doesn’t give thoughts to the “big things” like if the world will get better, or whether optimism or pessimism is the correct path. Instead she prefers to take in stride the belief that she must continue to look, in a sense, upward, and always move forward happily. Jaina cares about how she appears to others, and to the world. It is important for her to always put a smile for others. She has an image of herself that others have of her, and it is something that must be upheld. She does not want that image of herself shattered, as she’s worked very hard to maintain it. So she keeps up her smile, even when things get hard, and things have started to become very hard, emotionally at least. She will not compromise on this, and she will keep her own issues kept inside of her.[/indent] [sub][color=1a7b30]◆ B A C K G R O U N D[/color][/sub][indent] Jaina was only a babe when both her parents were killed. It was during the Calamity twenty years, when the Mordrem overran the greater part of eastern Tenebra that Elijah Malchut found her in a dark corner, crying not far from where her parents had been killed. He took her off the streets of war-torn and devastated Tenebra and with him. He welcomed her, treating her as if she were his own daughter. At the same time, however, he put her through a strict regimen. Jaina was taught how to fight, and become a warrior. She was taught to obey Elijah without reservation. When she was young a new person came into her life. Ezra came under the same roof as her. She knew that Ezra that was being deceived by Elijah, yet she kept quiet. She still obeyed Elijah’s words without question. In time, she saw herself drawn to him. Ezra was very distant and always busy, but the pair of them became inseparable friends nonetheless. She felt terrible for deceiving him, but her loyalty to her friend was not enough to overturn her conditioned loyalty. Under orders from Elijah, Jaina followed Ezra to Oakridge Academy. No matter how hard she had trained, not even a spark of the power necessary to traverse to the path to guardianship appeared. Fortunately, Oakridge also trains normal soldiers, and Jaina would be joining the army. She kept up her friendship with Ezra, but he steadily grew more distant. When Ezra had discovered the truth, he confronted Jaina. Jaina admitted that she had known that Elijah was lying about their familial ties, and that Ezra wasn’t really Elijah’s son. Ezra became incensed, and demanded to know more. Jaina declared that she knew nothing other than what he had already learned. Ezra has all but broken off their friendship, and rarely speaks to her now. Jaina, however, intends to get close to him once again.

At her side is a heavy pistol and a shortsword meant for close encounters.

Her lifestyle has endowed her with a slim and muscular figure throughout her body. For a woman, she is tall. [/indent] [sub][color=#9e0b0f]◆ I D E O L O G Y[/color][/sub] [indent] Raised in the wastelands of the Dark Lands filled with destruction, Modrem, and depravity since she was abandoned as a child, Rowena has developed apart from what is called the acceptable, the proper, or the norm. In this respect she has developed into something of an enigma, or perhaps that is only true when compared to areas outside of the Darklands. She is boisterous and animated, with a personality that is filled with energy. She is not afraid to shout, but there is the need, and tends to keep the volume of her voice at a medium level. In general personality she is very forthcoming and direct, never shying away from her true opinion on things in spite of societal sensitivities. Thus she can come off of overbearing and rude, although in the less civilized Darklands this hasn’t stopped her from making friends. She holds strongly to the personal doctrine of individualism and individual freedom. In doing so, she declares that she shall never have her life surrendered to another, unless it is in the heat of battle. In her hatred of rules and controls, she despises the rules of the lands beyond the Darklands, as their aim is to force people like herself into surrender and subjugation. The only good part of civilization is the riches it offers, which Rowena appreciates very much. Her reason for fighting is mostly for material gains and for her very survival, although she prefers it to the normalized life of regular civilization. Violence and adventure gives her a kind of thrill which a schedule and job cannot. [/indent] [sub][color=#9e0b0f]◆ B A C K G R O U N D[/color][/sub] [indent] Rowena is the daughter of Aeon Malchut, the man who became a hero and one of the greatest Guardians, and Margaret Robins, the woman he once loved. She is of mixed ethnicity. Her childhood was happy enough, but it was soon enough destroyed by the Calamity. The first memory Margaret still has is of her father abandoning her and her mother, leaving them to die at the hands of Mordrem. Her mother died, but she did not, and with solely her instinct, natural intellect, and a humble kitchen knife she slew her first Mordrem. On that day her life had changed forever, and never again would peace be known to her, and soon she would no longer wish for it. She survived the Calamity, yet her world was plunged into darkness. She lived in the Dark Zone, and that being no place for children, her childhood ended. She was forced to adapt to her environment, and she learned how to fight and how to scavenge. Years spent inside the Dark Zone away from the remnants of civilization irrevocably changed her. She became an adventurer who had a contempt for rules. She visited many places, and managed to survive out in the Dark Lands, slaying all who would seek to kill her, whether they be Mordrem, gangs, aggressors, fanatics, or husks. Although she prefers the wild and lawless lands to that of the cities ruled by government, she visits both, and has spent her life traveling, fighting, and learning various languages. As a youth she realized she had control over the power of spirits, and she uses aspekts to augment her strength, but she remains an almost exclusively physical fighter, and uses her single spirit, Timaeus, in only dire emergencies.
