[hider=Hunters] [center][img]http://data.whicdn.com/images/63092182/original.jpg[/img] Name: Avalon Shire Age: 20 Personality: Ava is the strong willed twin, filled with determiniation and a burning desire to rid the world of its evils. She, however, is not very trusting of others and finds it difficult to work along side anyone but her brother. The girl can be quite selfish as well, only ever looking out for the best interests of her or her twin brother. That being said, she is fairly level headed and can think through situations calmly as well as precisely. History: Ava and her twin brother are legacy hunters, having been born to a family of hunters as far back as the generations could be counted. Having always been taught that there was pride in what they did, Ava grew up determined to make her mark on the world and to prove that even women could make decent fighters. After the death of her mother, her father began going out on more and more hunts, leaving the twins behind with his brother to train until one hunt he just never made it home. Ava later found out that it hadn't even been the witch that killed him, but another (much less honest) hunter gunning after the same target. From then on Ava has found it impossible to trust those working around her and has her eyes set on tracking down the witch that had led to her father's demise.

The world is such a dark place, he feels the onloy way to survive it is by making fun of it. He cares very deeply for his sister and would do anything in order to protect her, however, he also thinks that she is a bit of a stick in the mud. Needless to say, he's more along for the ride than the quest to annihalate evil. History: Kyrso had the same upbringing as his twin sister Ava, however it isn't difficult to see the differences between them. He didn't care as much about th ehunting and merely trained to appease his father who held such pride in the work. During training when he grew bored, he would pull pranks on his uncle to lighten things up which only resulted in harsher training for the goofy lad. Still he was a swift study and lacked only the motivation to remain at the same level as his sister. The death of their father hit the twins hard, but he could tell that Ava needed someone to cry on instead of with. Pushing his own depression away, Kyrso made a point to smile even brighter and laugh louder than ever. From then on, he promised that he would have Ava's back no matter what the situation, taking up his uncle's old sword Nightblood to fight alongside her. Signature Weapon: "Nightblood" Black Iron Longsword (As shown in portrait) Things they look for in a partner: Honesty and courage, being able to openly express thoughts or emotions without fear; to act even in the face of said fear. Pets/Familiars: Vivari the red-tailed hawk.

She's impulsive and harsh, violently lashing out at all around her. This witch finds great pleasure in the sufferings of others and will find someone to torture if left alone for long enough. So far the only person able to wield such a flame for good use has been the clan leader Rose; a witch that Mirai has developed an undying loyalty and respect for. History: Mirai is a pureblooded witch, coming from a long line of witches that have hidden themselves in plain sight since the downfall of the original great coven. Born with the fiery personality of her ancestors, her family had a difficult time hiding their existence from humans. She believed that witches shouldn't have to hide from the world, that humans should bow at their feet and move according to their whims. This clash in beliefs led to Mirai striking out on her own to cause trouble. Burning farms, threatening travelers... She enjoyed every minute of it, consumed by power. After a while she settled herself into one of the far corners of the forest surrounding the mountain. It was here she would rest, hidden within the mountain whilst using a run down shack as a decoy/lure. It became a fun little game of hers to use this method to draw in ambitious hunters and toy with them until their deaths. That was until one particular fellow wandered in, and managed to steal a pendant of rare variety from her amongst her belongings. Rather than killing him right away she followed him to see what it was that he wanted with such an object. Discovering it was for the health of his beloved, Mirai cold-heartedly intervened. Giving an ultimatum, she offered the pendant in exchange for his servitude... the only catch? If he disobeyed her or betrayed her in any way, she would take the pendant back leaving the girl to die. A few years have gone by since she acquired Arden, training him to control his magical outbursts as well as a few tricks here and there. For the time being, however, he remains more of her entertainment than an actual tool for work. Special Power: Touch of flame: Mirai's specialty is fire magic however her strongest point is in close combat, mixing magic with physical strength. Her lack of patience makes targeting from a distance difficult for her and is rarely accurate in this regard. Things they look for in a partner: Strength... But perhaps not quite in the way you might think. Pets/Familiars: Sunni the black Mammoth Bat. ~~~ [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/b1/ca/5a/b1ca5abc76b82c8f38798d9ad922f054.jpg [/img] [hider=Secondary] [img] https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/64/89/d2/6489d2f47453e0184dc39368a5b3b690.jpg[/img] [/hider] Name: Nymphadora Brookes Age: 22 Personality: Nymphadora represents the more regal side of nature, bearing soft edges and warm smiles. These can be quite deceptive though, as she's actually incredibly spiteful. Quick to anger, this small sprite won't hesitate to tear you apart and feed you to the wolves. She doesn't care much for people or their lives, but holds the highest respect for plant life. History: Growing up Nymphadora heard many stories about the witches of old. Tales told of their immense powers and their great fortresses, but of all the stories ever told there has always been one in particular that had interested her. The Glow Wood, a magical place filled to the brim with flora and fauna of all kinds and supposedly the most beautiful place in the whole world. But since the downfall of the Bloodrose coven, the forest had mysteriously disappeared. Rumors had spread of its possible locations but none ever panned out. Of all the wonders, Nymphadora found herself drawn to this one in particular, using this desire to find it as incentive to train in the magic arts. Special Power: Nymphadora's affinity is for the manipulation of the world's flora, though she has spent most of her time studying the art of alchemy. Things they look for in a partner: Curiosity and a desire to learn, to explore. There are many secrets to the world but no fun to discover them alone. Pets/Familiars: [hider=Mori] [img]http://s1.ibtimes.com/sites/www.ibtimes.com/files/styles/v2_article_large/public/2012/02/28/240849-neon-blue-garter-snake.jpg[/img] [/hider] ~~~ [img]https://omfgsoup.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/diablo-3-female-witch-doctor.jpg [/img] Name: Silvienne Star Age: 18 Personality: Silv is incredibly shy, frightened by most humans due to certain events in her past as well as even some of her own kind as noted by the distance she stands at. At her core she is quite caring though, always thinking of others before herself despite being uncomfortable around them. She'll seek solitude but often finds herself surrounded by the beasties of the forest, not at all intimidated by even some of the more aggressive ones. History: Silvienne had always been a pretty girl, blessed with clear skin and soft green eyes, so it came as no surprise when heads began turning her way. Captivated by her beauty, men would go following her around and women would curse her name as she walked by. When she was thirteen a couple of drunkards tracked her down while she was picking herbs from a field and attacked her, attempting to beat her into submission. As an orphan she had no one to come to her rescue, so she found herself chained up in an abandoned farm house for weeks. Half-starved and exhausted she waited for death to take her away, however he didn't come for her either. Her savior was found in the most unlikely of places when a beast known to roam the fields at night heard her crying. Mistaking her cry for one of those belonging to its cubs, the creature attacked the men and whisked the girl away, nursing her back to health. It was during this time that she discovered that she had magical potential, born with the ability to speak to animals but not much else. For a while she lived with the creature in the forest, avoiding hunting parties and witches alike through most of her teenage years. It wasn't until recently that she decided to part ways and seek to learn "real" magic. Not wishing to relive her past, however, she covers her face with a mask carved from the bones of woodland critters. Special Power: Born with the ability to understand and speak to animals, however she is in the process of learning healing magic. Things they look for in a partner: A protector, someone that can lift her from the darkness and solitude who is unaffected by the greed and lust of mankind. Pets/Familiars: Friend to all creatures, however there is one little grasshopper that refuses to leave her side. She's nicknamed him Jiminy.

He moves about with such a confidence, certainty in every motion, kindess in every word. There's something about him, a sly intelligence but a tinge of sadness hidden behind his eyes that draws you in. Watch out though, he won't hesitate to throw you on your ass for disrespecting a woman, especially if that woman in Mrs. Smith or anything to do with her tavern. History: Marcus is quite the enigmatic character and not much is known about him or his past. He showed up in Seren's Folly a few years back and began working at Abigail's tavern. So far the only things he has told people for sure is that his name is Marcus and that he isn't from the surrounding area. Rumors have spread around that perhaps he's a hunter from out of town, but he hasn't left on any of the hunting parties that have taken off from the town since he began working there. Other rumours of him being married have cropped up here and there, however he refuses to answer the question one way or another. For those who know the truth, and there aren't many of those... Marcus was indeed a hunter once, or at least that's what people called him. In reality he was really just an assassin for hire, and a good one at that. The city where he worked was filled to the brim with crime lords and sleezy politicians that tried to take advantage of the citizens, so he took little issue in completing his tasks. That was until one of his jobs including the kidnapping of one of these said politicians' daughter for ransom, a young woman by the name of Elizabeth. One thing led to another and not long after the two ended up getting married in secret. He would send her gifts that he bought with the money made from his various jobs and in return she would send handwritten letters and a different flower from the garden she kept. It was far from a traditional relationship, but the two were in love and found happiness in each other's thoughts. After a year, Marcus had saved up enough money to properly ask for her hand in marriage, however it didn't quite pan out the way they had expected. Someone had figured out who Marcus was and had told the politician as such, so when he went to speak with the man, all that awaited him was shackles. Luckily for him the guardsman was one of his previous clients but the price for his freedom was banishment. Unable to say goodbye to his beloved, Marcus was whisked away where he made his way to Seren's Folly. Signature Weapon: Chain Whips (Attached to a pair of gauntlets) Things they look for in a partner: He's still brooding over his secret wife, and wears a ring around his neck on a chain. Pets/Familiars: [hider=Mia] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/ae/7d/2e/ae7d2ee2c66109c071f9c32c326d3083.jpg[/img] She is a Glow Wood fairy that had been caught back before the Bloodrose Coven fell. Bought and sold on the black markets, Mia has long since forgotten the location of her home and instead sticks with Marcus to repay him for rescuing her. [/hider] [/center] [/hider]
