[b]Sexuality:[/b] Mostly heterosexual, some bisexual tendencies. [b]Place of Birth:[/b] Barcea [b]Biography:[/b] The first part of Cyril's life was one of comfortable living but lingering fear. His father, Olain Serio, was often constantly in conflict with the forces of H'kela to the west. There was concern throughout the entire nation of a sudden invasion, though Barcea held strong at the border. Because of this situation Cyril was trained to be a warrior from an early age, though by people other than his father. The discipline that was weathered into him laid the foundations for his physical strength and speed in his later years, and his skill in combat. Whether fortunately or not, Cyril was not forced to put these skills into war at an early age as, just before he reached his teenage years his father passed away after heading West to the God King War, and his older sister Kori came into power. Unlike their father, his sister was a peaceful individual and ended direct conflict with H'kela, instead turning her focus into her own nation for rebuilding and improvement. It was her example that led to him one day creating the Sentinels around two years after Kori coming into power. The Sentinels are a group led directly by him that patrol the borders and throughout the nation, actively helping the people in any way possible and discouraging the bandit population. Despite the peace, there still lingered some suspicion in the Prince's mind of H'kela, and what they might be planning. This suspicion was been inflamed by the recent actions seemingly taken by Barcea's neighbor to the west, and when at the Capitol Cyril has often been found talking quietly and rapidly with his older sister. It turns out that Cyril was correct in his paranoia, and the King of H'kela was preparing to attack. After the discovery of the slaughter, the Prince was soon sent to Gurata to gather allies, returned to take part of a confrontation with H'kela, and defended his sister from an assassination attempt. Due to the worsening situation, Cyril was seperated from his sister, and she was captured. He attempted to save her, but she sacrificed himself, and in his rage he unlocked a strange new power. Soon after he fought against the King of H'kela personally in the middle of a battle, and killed him. Soon after the funeral of his sister, he was crowned King. [b]Personality:[/b] Cyril is a born leader, and a very people-centric person. He always puts others before himself, and is genuinely concerned for pretty much anyone he can be. This makes him a very thoughtful leader, one people look up to. At the same time, this can become self-destructive for him, as in the past he has become extremely reckless just to get someone else out of a bad situation. He also struggles to come to terms with the idea of balancing duty towards everyone within Barcea all at once, while maintaining one's self as well. He looks up to his older sister, and looks out for his younger sister. He values the support and lives of his comrades, and listens carefully to all. He loves his two sisters dearly. He tries to refrain from ordering full bloodshed, but will if necessary. [b]Likes:[/b] Training with each other, group activities, good food and company, good competition. [b]Dislikes:[/b] Bullies, oppressors, any sort of individual like that. He also dislikes seeing others suffer or hurt, and he still harbors lingering resentment towards his father for the mistakes of the previous generation. [b]Skills/Strengths:[/b] Cyril is strong and fast, naturally at the forefront of any battle. He's decently skilled with a variety of weapons but most so with his own sword. Physically he is a talented combatant, especially for one so young. He has gained a new power, one that is as of yet unnamed; it takes the form of red energy that violently jumps along him, typically along his arm down to his hand. Anything it touches that isn't Cyril it absolutely destroys, eating away at whatever has been hit, be it person or armor or weapon. Normal weapons cannot handle it, and shatter in his hand when the energy passes through it. [b]Flaws/Weaknesses:[/b] Despite his strange, growing ability, the King is still a "regular human." That means that, as durable as he is, it's not the same as someone of superb, almost impossible nature and durability. He also can be extremely stubborn, which leads to trouble. [b]Weapons/Equipment:[/b] Besides basic equipment such as a water skin and similar tools, his main weapon is the Gift, a treasure given to the Serios long ago by the Divines. The Gift can change forms, and currently it is a beautiful hand-and-a-half sword that he uses, and is able to endure his power. [b]Appearance:[/b] An individual of decent height and of an athletic build, Cyril has dark hair of a bluish hue which does not go down his neck. He has blue eyes as well, though this blue is of a brighter shade. He dresses in white and blue, Barcean colors by now if you can't tell, including a cape that goes over one shoulder. He has long pants and sleeves, boots and gloves. He carries his blade at his side, and has found a balance between looking ready to travel or being ready to sit down at a long (and probably boring) meeting. He has a crown made of gold with thick, curving designs and points directed upwards.

[b]Username:[/b] The Darklight Project[/hider][hider=Ayano Serio][b]Full Name:[/b] Ayano Serio [b]Nicknames/Titles:[/b] Princess of Barcea [b]Occupation:[/b] See above. [b]Birthday:[/b] April 21st [b]Height:[/b] 5'2" [b]Weight:[/b] 110 lbs [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Sex/Gender:[/b] Female [b]Age:[/b] Sixteen. [b]Sexuality:[/b] Bisexual [b]Place of Birth:[/b] Barcea [b]Biography:[/b] Ayano was born blind. It is something she has dealt with since before her memories begin, but because of it she wasn't able to see much of the terrible things that happened during the time of war. However, she was able to hear it, smell it, taste it, and feel it. Instead of having sight, she had color; she could sense color with her four working senses, and it is what she associates with her memories. Along with this, despite not being able to see, her skill with painting and drawing is still extremely accurate (and popular to boot too). She doesn't remember the times of war very well thankfully, and for the most part has happily lived during the time of her older sister's rule. She has always looked up to her older sister and brother, and because of that not only dreams to be in the Sentinels, but asks to be (and demands it) as well. It was only recently that Cyril has begun to half-seriously think about this. Before much could be done, however, the war with H'kela began, and Ayano was often sent with Cyril because it was considered to be safer with him. She was absolutely devestated to hear about the death of her sister, and she is still grieving. [b]Personality:[/b] In a way, Ayano lives in her own world. Her emotions are simple, with a kind nature towards everyone. She's willing to give everyone a chance, even if others don't think they deserve it. She's very distant at times, often doodling and/or being lost in her own thoughts. When brought back to the world however, as quiet as she may be she has a natural talent of being able to go on and on when talking. She also may or may not accidentally get too close to a person or thing, depending on what's being worn or the color in general- being drawn to colors, she can't help herself. The color that draws her the most is purple. In general she can be a little disoriented and distracted by colors; at worse, with lots of colors at once, along with multiple senses experiencing the colors at once (like taste and smell from eating candy), it can produce an extremely distracting euphoric effect for her, leaving her in a blissful mess for some length of time. She also loves animals, quite unlike her brother, and, in general, is able to enjoy almost anything. [b]Likes:[/b] Colors (especially purple), painting, animals, having things read to her, and music. [b]Dislikes:[/b] Certain colors, vegetables, homework assignments, spider webs, and walls. [b]Skills/Strengths:[/b] Ayano doesn't really have any combat abilities yet. However, because of how she can sense colors through all of her senses that work, she has utility as a sensor. [b]Flaws/Weaknesses:[/b] She cannot fight, she is blind, and she can be overwhelmed by colors. [b]Weapons/Equipment:[/b] Typically keeps tools to draw and paint on her, so if even the slightest desire strikes she can go at it. Also, she keeps a purple cloth on her at all times. [b]Appearance:[/b] Ayano is a skinny, petite individual, but full of energy. She has long white hair, and either dresses in colorful dresses or in pure white. Her most distinctive feature is how she has clean bandages carefully wrapped around her head at the eyes, in order to keep whatever is beneath completely concealed and protected. The purple cloth she carries with her can often be seen, as she plays with it in her hands whenever she is bored.

[b]Main or Side:[/b] Side. [b]Username:[/b] The Darklight Project[/hider][hider=Alasa][b]Full Name:[/b] Alasa [b]Nicknames/Titles:[/b] N/A [b]Occupation:[/b] Sentinel [b]Birthday:[/b] February 3rd [b]Height:[/b] 5'8" [b]Weight:[/b] 150 lbs [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Sex/Gender:[/b] Male [b]Age:[/b] 23 [b]Sexuality:[/b] Heterosexual [b]Place of Birth:[/b] Barcea [b]Biography:[/b] Alasa was born into poverty, something that was becoming all too common in Barcea during the times of war. He stole and poached to survive, and more often than not nearly got into severe trouble. Eventually, though, the law caught up to him, and it was not prepared to hold back just because he was young and starving. Fortunately, though, Olain was overseas, and Cyril was there. It was the Prince who kept the punishment from being too harsh for the younger Alasa, and to this day he remains thankful to the Prince because of it. It was only natural that, when the Prince began to gather individuals for the Sentinels, Alasa signed up. It kept him from falling farther into the not so lawful side of the world, and probably even saved his life once again. [b]Personality:[/b] Alasa is a very quiet and very focused individual. He prefers to keep to himself and observe, rather than be the focal point of others. He is extremely dedicated and extremely cautious, preferring to act only when he is absolutely certain of an outcome. He's a planner, able to look at a situation as a whole, and then focus on the most important aspects. He puts this to use in his work as a scout and an archer. Alasa was involved with the events of the war with H'kela, and fought hard for his country. [b]Likes:[/b] Quiet and being outside, contests of skill. [b]Dislikes:[/b] Too much noise or too many people set him on edge and irritate him. [b]Skills/Strengths:[/b] Alasa is a skilled archer and tracker. This is where he shines, and he is usually one of the ones on watch for the Sentinels. [b]Flaws/Weaknesses:[/b] Alasa prefers to keep threats at a distance, for good reason. [b]Weapons/Equipment:[/b] Beyond survival gear, such as basic first aid material, a water skin, rope, etc., he carries a bow and a quiver of arrows for combat and hunting. [b]Appearance:[/b] Alasa has longer blond hair that goes down his neck, and dresses in greens and browns for camouflage. His clothes fit well and comfortably, but are clearly made for scaling surfaces and getting into rough situations. He typically slings his bow and quiver around his torso, and has his pouches and the like for carrying things around his waist.

[b]Username:[/b] The Darklight Project[/hider][hider=Diane Laues][b]Full Name:[/b] Diane Laues [b]Nicknames/Titles:[/b] Lady as a prefix. [b]Occupation:[/b] Duke's daughter, Sentinel. [b]Birthday:[/b] November 11th [b]Height:[/b] 5'1" [b]Weight:[/b] 105 lbs [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Sex/Gender:[/b] Female [b]Age:[/b] Twenty-one. [b]Sexuality:[/b] Bisexual, prefers women. [b]Place of Birth:[/b] Barcea [b]Biography:[/b] Diane has always known an upper class life, though there were some difficulties when she was younger. Her family's estate is in the western part of Barcea, and therefore closer to the H'kelan border than one at war with said nation would want. Relatively near her home was a pass through a canyon that was a way between both nations, and therefore more than a few battles were held to hold the pass. Thanks to the thorough defense of the Barcean military, the people she lived around didn't suffer, but they did not escape completely unscathed. Diane has known the Serio family for her entire life, especially the newer generation, so when Kori rose to power she made sure her father was a supporter. When she reached her teens she learned that she had a talent for healing, and she began to foster and grow it into a true skill. Because of that and her dedication, Cyril invited her to the Sentinels, something she accepted. Diane worked hard in the war against H'kela, fighting hard for her country. After the death of Kori she briefly withdrew in on herself, but it seems like she is now trying to be strong for Ayano. [b]Personality:[/b] To say Diane is prim is putting it lightly. She is very proper, and expects the best from everyone. If something doesn't reach her standards, her tongue becomes a knife and she sets about to fixing whatever "eyesore" might be happening. Some may see her as bossy (or a pain in the arse), but others have learned to live with it, and even find entertainment out of it. Those who know her know it's mostly just smoke she blows, and that there is a different side to her. Of the royal family, she seems to love Ayano the most, taking care of her like an older sister or a mother would. [b]Likes:[/b] Reading, healing, looking after the Princess, order. [b]Dislikes:[/b] Disgusting/dirty things, disorder, and loudness. [b]Skills/Strengths:[/b] Diane is a healer, one whose skill continues to grow. She's reached the point that, so long as nothing is detached, she can effectively healer a person back into a workable state. She is also more than decent at riding a horse, but other than that she has no skills for combat, which means she keeps to the back lines as possible. [b]Flaws/Weaknesses:[/b] She is a healer, not a fighter. She does not engage in open combat (even if she can throw a mean right hook or slap), so she relies on others for protection in order to do her job. [b]Weapons/Equipment:[/b] A staff to channel magic for healing. [b]Appearance:[/b] Diane is always dressed nicely, in a dress with gloves and nice boots. She has slightly sharp features, pale skin, and long blonde hair that goes down to collect at either shoulder. The colors of her clothes are assorted off-whites and tans, with little dashes of light pink and green here and there.

[b]Occupation:[/b] Soldier, Sentinel [b]Birthday:[/b] August 27th [b]Height:[/b] 5'10" [b]Weight:[/b] 160 lbs [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Sex/Gender:[/b] Male [b]Age:[/b] Twenty-four [b]Sexuality:[/b] Demisexual [b]Place of Birth:[/b] Barcea [b]Biography:[/b] Sampson was born to a family that wasn't too rich, but not too poor either. They were relatively successful farmers, comfortable enough, but it wasn't the life he wanted. He lived in the eastern part of Barcea, so he had very little contact with the war with H'kela. Perhaps because of that he wasn't daunted from pursuing a military career, and at the age of sixteen he joined the Barcean military. Though he started during the time of peace, he still has seen a decent bit of combat thanks to issues with bandits that the military are called on for, and it was his actions during one skirmish that brought him to the attention of Cyril, who then recruited him. Sampson fought in the events of the war, and defended his fellow Sentinels and his country. [b]Personality:[/b] Sampson is a genuinely nice fellow, though easily overwhelmed. He has a kind heart, to the point that it's almost surprising that he wanted to be a soldier. However, he is extremely dedicated to what he does, often training in his free time, keeping his strength and skill up. However, the most... unnatural thing about him would be his love for food, and his capacity to consume it. It should be impossible for someone to eat so much food, but Sampson does that and more. For those seeing it for the first time, it can almost be something terrifying to see. [b]Likes:[/b] Food(, food, and food), training, and he is extremely proud of being a Sentinel. [b]Dislikes:[/b] Limited portions, not getting enough sleep, and being still. [b]Skills/Strengths:[/b] Sampson, though young, is a soldier through and through, and best as a calvaryman. He is known to make daring maneuvers that somehow work, and works as a striker in combat. [b]Flaws/Weaknesses:[/b] A normal human being, he does not have any sort of power of the magical or unnatural nature (besides his capacity to eat). [b]Weapons/Equipment:[/b] Wears some plate armor, carries a sword and a spear. [b]Appearance:[/b] Sampson has shorter brown hair that sometimes comes up in a little cowlick. He has slightly tanned skin, and wears some plate armor, mostly focused on his chest and legs. The color that the cloth and the painted parts of the armor is a deep green. He keeps his sword at his side and his spear on his back when he is not using them.

[b]Sexuality:[/b] ????? [b]Place of Birth:[/b] The border regions between Gurata and Barcea, but he considers Barcea his home. [b]Biography:[/b] Gortul was born away from civilization, in the strip of land between the nations of Barcea and Gurata that can't really be considered part of either. He was born into a small community, one that kept to itself a fair bit. They did not live in a town, but they were not nomads either. Their existence may have been missed entirely if it weren't for all of the moving about during the wars, which ended up uprooting the community to move to safer spaces in Barcea. Gortul had very little learning, which caused its own struggle, but he slowly but surely learned how to function in Barcean society and come to love it. He was discovered by the Prince on one of his hunts, and his skills were noted. It was because of them that Cyril offered him a position on the Sentinels, and he happily agreed to join. Gortul fought hard for the Sentinels during the events of the war, and for Barcea. [b]Personality:[/b] Gortul is a very, very friendly man with a heavy accent. He genuinely cares for anyone he meets, and loves nothing more than the help others. It's part of the reason why he's so compatible with the Sentinels, and why he is a great team player and a protector. [b]Likes:[/b] Animals, the outdoors, sparring. [b]Dislikes:[/b] Hurting others, accidentally breaking things (happens a lot), and Diane when she is really angry. He gets scared of her. [b]Skills/Strengths:[/b] Gortul is a very strong and very durable individual, and this shows when he fights. [b]Flaws/Weaknesses:[/b] His lack of armor, and his difficulty speaking and communicating can be a hindrance. [b]Weapons/Equipment:[/b] He carries a large axe, and smaller ones for throwing. [b]Appearance:[/b] Gortul is very tall and very muscular with tanned skin. He wears furs, though most of his torso is bare most of the time. His hair is cut short and is a very dark brown, and he often has stubble on his cheeks and chin.

Age: Thirty-eight. Sexuality: Heterosexual. Place of Birth: Gurata. Biography: Seryosa is the oldest child of the new generation of Guratan chiefs, the power having been passed to her and her siblings when she was thirty-two. Her area of domain is the northern part of Gurata, and is therefore one of the coldest places in the world. She holds tight to the nomadic traditions of the Guratans, often following many that are considered old or forgotten. She has no real interest with what's going on down to the south. When the Prince came for help, Seryosa was the one to refuse. Because of that, he called for trial by combat, and she gathered fighters to represent her. When her side lost, she accepted the outcome and fought. Personality: Seryosa is a cold, brutal individual, with no time for those she sees as weak. For her, it is very much the survival of the fittest in the coldest reaches of the north. Her nature has hardened her people as well. Likes: Unknown, save for her mount. Dislikes: Doesn't enjoy dealing with her siblings. Skills/Strengths: Seryosa is strong, and perhaps the best of the Guratan chiefs at leading people into battle. She is also a mounted fighter usually, which presents its own advantages. Flaws/Weaknesses: She is used to being a mounted fighter, so on her feet she is fairly uncomfortable or annoyed. Weapons/Equipment: Seryosa wears full armor, and uses a massive maul while fighting. While not a piece of equipment, her "mount" is a massive armored snow leopard (clearly either some sort of mutant or somehow otherwise unnatural due to its side) that she has affectionately named Whiskers. Appearance: Seryosa has very pale skin, unlike her siblings, and already grey hair. Her eyes are also a stormy sort of grey, and she very rarely goes without her dull grey armor.

[b]Birthday:[/b] Unknown [b]Height:[/b] 5'11" [b]Weight:[/b] 105 lbs [b]Race:[/b] Human(? Assumed.) [b]Sex/Gender:[/b] Female [b]Age:[/b] Appears to be in early twenties. [b]Sexuality:[/b] Homosexual. [b]Place of Birth:[/b] Unknown. [b]Biography:[/b] Calypso's history will be short because even she knows so very little of it. All she knows is that, one day, she woke up as she was being found by a young woman named Etsuko Tanaka. She simply attached herself to this caring young woman, following along with her and soon coming to live with her. While they are not lovers, Calypso deeply cares for Etsuko, and has taken a sort of position of looking after her and protecting her. She follows Etsuko wherever she goes, and usually defers to what she says. Eventually she met the Prince, and dude to a series of events became a part of his group. Now, she stays with Cyril because her skills are of use to him, and she is able to fight. She fought hard during the war, and was the one who utterly crippled the Advisor's limbs. [b]Personality:[/b] Eccentric. She is, overall, a very calm, collected individual, good at various situations and adapting to whatever necessary. She is obviously confident in her own abilities, though, and is extremely skilled at what she does. She doesn’t go out looking to be friends with people, but she has a natural sort of politeness that just allows her to casually start a conversation with anyone, often randomly. However, despite all of this, it's like she's still learning about the world, like a child taking their first steps. [b]Likes:[/b] Music-lover, cats, owls, snowfall, the various forms of arts, and interesting talents or skills that she's never seen before. [b]Dislikes:[/b] Obnoxious people, crowds, and slackers, and having to speak up about her dislikes. [b]Skills/Strengths:[/b] Calypso has a speed and grace that belies a hidden strength. However, she has more... very "unnatural" abilities. One of these is the ability to shapeshift. She can change her form at will, changing her appearance. She cannot, or perhaps does not, use this ability as a direct combat tactic, as in stretching limbs or anything like that. She uses it almost whimsically, just changing her appearance as necessary if she feels different for a day, or as a disguise. However, the ability to shapeshift does seem to give her some form of a healing factor, as well. [b]Flaws/Weaknesses:[/b] Her almost innocent nature is a weakness as often she is still learning. In combat, that means she's learning tactics for both herself and others, making things... messy and dangerous for both herself and others. Out of combat, it means that she may make mistakes or become confused in certain social situations, though she learns quickly afterwards. She is also terrible at baking, though other forms of cooking she can more than manage at. [b]Weapons/Equipment:[/b] Currently, she uses wires that was given to her by Richard Leto. She can use them to attack and block, and they are extremely sharp and dangerous. She has also used knives. She has two longer ones, and many smaller ones to throw. [b]Appearance:[/b] Very tall, what one could refer to as Calypso's "standard" form is very beautiful. She has smooth and ample curves, and she seems to be aware of how attractive she is. She has pale skin and silver hair, long enough to come down to just above her shoulders. Though her eyes often change color, a standard seems to be either purple or blue. She dresses in darker, form fitting clothes, with her weapons in clear sight at her sides, on her legs, and on her arms.

[b]Username:[/b] The Darklight Project[/hider][hider=Joachim Raizen][b]Full Name:[/b] Joachim Raizen [b]Nicknames/Titles:[/b] The Wanderer, formerly the Fearsome Phantasm. [b]Occupation:[/b] N/A, former Gifted. [b]Birthday:[/b] January 9th [b]Height:[/b] 5'6" [b]Weight:[/b] 117 lbs [b]Race:[/b] Human. [b]Sex/Gender:[/b] Male. [b]Age:[/b] Twenty-nine, though he appears younger. [b]Sexuality:[/b] Heterosexual [b]Place of Birth:[/b] Kyora. [b]Biography:[/b] The Wanderer's story is one that will be revealed within the roleplay. Because of this, this will only go over the broad strokes. He went West at a young age to fight in the God King War, and when it was done he simply disappeared. Now, he has returned East, avoiding using his own name and title in order to remained concealed. Eventually he was picked up by the Prince, and afterwards it was revealed he was a Gifted; however, Kori herself welcomed him to Barcea, despite the fighting that may have taken place during the God King War. He fought extremely hard during the H'kelan war, but he never killed a soul. [b]Personality:[/b] Joachim appears to be a bit of an oddball. Though calm, quiet, and ever polite, he sometimes seems to become very distracted. He smiles at others, but he avoids making contact as much as he can, at least while travelling. He seems to be very easily surprised and overwhelmed. This, however, is often revealed to be an act, as in battle a certain coldness comes over his gaze and personality as he proceeds to end the battle as quickly as possible. Despite this coldness, he refrains from killing. He seems to enjoy being around children and taking care of them, but often seems to descend into a sort of melancholy afterwards. [b]Likes:[/b] Children, quiet, being outside, and walking. [b]Dislikes:[/b] Violence and killing, those who take advantage of the weak, and standing by as innocents are harmed. [b]Skills/Strengths:[/b] The tales of the Phantasm's abilities are almost horror stories, especially to those who stood against him. He seemed to appear and disappear at will, and was a master of the blade. With ease, he would hack through limbs and heads, slaughtering all those who dared to fight him. What made him even more dangerous was clear Void power, a Dark sort of magic that made his blade that much more deadly, and added range where he should have none. Now, he seems to prefer to keep his blade sheathed, and very rarely uses his magical abilities if at all. It is, in fact, unknown just how strong he is, or if he has started to lose these abilities. [b]Flaws/Weaknesses:[/b] His own restraint is his greatest weakness. Where killing would be the quickest solution, he chooses not to, and often gets hurt because of it. [b]Weapons/Equipment:[/b] He has equipment for travelling, and the only weapon he carries is a slightly curved blade that he keeps in its sheath. [b]Appearance:[/b] The Wanderer's appearance is surprisingly effeminate. Though he doesn't wear makeup or try to accent this fact, the shape of his face and the slenderness of his body is almost like a woman's. He has dark hair of a sort of purplish hue, and deeply purple eyes. He wears dark purple travelling robes, and a large, round hat for his head. He usually keeps his hair pulled back, for it is very long. Perhaps the most interesting feature he has is a wavy sort of scar on his cheek that curves around down to his neck, the scar sometimes glowing every so often (he keeps this hidden to begin with by bandages, at is a very defining mark).

[b]Username:[/b] The Darklight Project[/hider][hider=Christopher Nocte][b]Full Name:[/b] Christopher "Daniels" Nocte [b]Nicknames/Titles:[/b] N/A [b]Occupation:[/b] N/A, in training. [b]Birthday:[/b] October 6th [b]Height:[/b] 5'10" [b]Weight:[/b] 165 lbs [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Sex/Gender:[/b] Male [b]Age:[/b] Nineteen [b]Sexuality:[/b] Heterosexual [b]Place of Birth:[/b] Bordering mountains between Gurata and Barcea. [b]Biography:[/b] Christopher has lived most of his life like a hermit, up in the mountains between Barcea and Gurata with his adopted mother. He has no memory of a time before he called this woman his mother, and even though he knows he is adopted it doesn't bother him in the slightest. Despite the seclusion, it was a comfortable enough life, one that Christopher sometimes feels the urge to go back to. However, that wasn't his fate, as his mother one day called for a favor upon the Paladin Damon Dubois, to take him out in to the world and teach him not just how to survive, but to live as well. The Paladin agreed, and because of that Christopher has spent the past few years constantly on the move, learning from the Paladin how to fight and survive in the world. He has seen most of the East already. He was brought into the Prince's fold by the Paladin, and despite his complaining worked hard. He was involved in every major fight, and was even the one who sliced the Advisor's torso, despite losing his arm. It also happened to be revealed that his adopted mother is the Divine Ambrosia. [b]Personality:[/b] Christopher is a relaxed individual, to the point of almost being lazy. He prefers calm, quiet moments to intense action, yet within intense action he thrives. He's a curious person, but sometimes prefers to find the answer out by himself than just ask for it. Overall, he's a very hands on person. Every once in a while he gets an urge for mischief, and he hates being truly disrespected. [b]Likes:[/b] Music, engaging in private exercise, the mountains, solitude. [b]Dislikes:[/b] He and animals don't really get along, so he usually avoids them. He also seems to have an underlying fear of what the Paladin can do, as if he's seen it before, and wants to avoid falling under the wrath. That doesn't keep him from a healthy amount of backtalk, though. [b]Skills/Strengths:[/b] Christopher is a brawler, getting into the thick of the action. Because of this, he's adept at taking hits, no small thanks to a healing factor he has. The speed he heals at depends on the level of the damage. He's physically strong as well, which mean his hits can really hurt. [b]Flaws/Weaknesses:[/b] Even with his healing factor, he has a habit of getting hit too much. He also has no real ranged options, which means he has to get in close to land a hit. Also, if anything is removed from his body it doesn't grow back; he lost his left arm during the recent war, and is still getting used to it. [b]Weapons/Equipment:[/b] Survival gear, but his main weapons are the gauntlet around his arm. It is enchanted with electricity magic, which adds more oomph to his hits. However, he carries a white blade on him, a Creation of a member of the Manu Propria which ended up in the hands of his mother, and it is extremely powerful. However, it often hurts him to use, ripping at his own body. [b]Appearance:[/b] Christopher has short grey hair, which he usually just leaves messy. He wears darker clothes, accented with white and red. This includes a jacket that he usually wears, the sleeves pulled down over the gauntlets. He keeps a bag with him for his supplies. Besides all of this, he wears silver gauntlets on his arms. The metal is smooth, and the plates slide over each other with ease. Electricity sometimes sparks over it, especially as he gets more and more active. He has blue eyes.

[b]Username:[/b] The Darklight Project[/hider][hider=Damon Dubois][b]Full Name:[/b] Damon Dubois [b]Nicknames/Titles:[/b] The Divine Paladin [b]Occupation:[/b] See above and below in the bios for details. [b]Birthday:[/b] December 16th. [b]Height:[/b] 6'5" [b]Weight:[/b] 210 lbs [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Sex/Gender:[/b] Male [b]Age:[/b] Forty-three [b]Sexuality:[/b] Heterosexual(?) [b]Place of Birth:[/b] Barcea [b]Biography:[/b] Dubois is a legend in his own right. Little is known about him before he arrived at the church dedicated to the Seven Divines in southern Barcea, but when he did at the young age of perhaps eleven he was taken in. He had an aptitude for the religion, so because of it he was raised to one day be a priest. However, when one day he started exhibiting powers upon an attack by wild beasts in his teenage years, he began learning how to become a Paladin instead. For years he trained like this, until he left the church at the age of twenty, beginning to travel and do the work of the Divines. Wherever there was injustice or suffering, he was there to "take care" of it. A few years before the present, he was asked a favor to teach a certain young man how to work and survive, and he accepted. Since then, Christopher "Daniels" Nocte has been coming along with him, and Dubois is teaching the boy. When he met the Prince, he willing joined his cause. He was a terrifying force in the war. [b]Personality:[/b] Dubois is an imposing man, who is often extremely quiet and watching everything with a level stare. He is very hard to approach, and almost terrifying to some. However, behind this lies a genuinely good heart, as he enjoys taking care of and looking after children, and doing the word of the Divines. [b]Likes:[/b] Religion, reading aloud, children and animals. [b]Dislikes:[/b] Blasphemy, the ignorant, the tyrannical. [b]Skills/Strengths:[/b] Dubois has been blessed by the Divines, and therefore has many abilities because of it. He is extremely physically fast and strong, a powerful opponent to have. He also has an extreme healing factor, to the point that blows that would normally instantly kill a man he shrugs off with ease to carve down whoever hit him. He also has various holy charms to use, to harm or limit his enemies. [b]Flaws/Weaknesses:[/b] Dubois' power comes from the fact he is blessed. So, if he were to blaspheme or lose this blessing, all of his power would go away as well. Because the Divines have differing views and goals, this is more likely than one might think. Because of this, he picks one Divine at a time as a patron, in order to shield himself under their protection more. Currently, his patron is the Divine Ambrosia. [b]Weapons/Equipment:[/b] He has blades that are a foot and a half long, and about an inch wide. The exact number he has are unknown to everyone except for him, as he seems to just simply have an unlimited supply. He can either throw or attack with these directly. He also has holy texts and blessed nails he uses in various manners against his opponents. His two main weapons, however, are two hammers. [b]Appearance:[/b] Dubois is a mountain of a man, tall and with wide shoulders. He has short blonde hair that spikes up, and his skin is tanned. He has a large scar that goes over his left cheek, thickly carved into his cheek all the way to his nose. He wears small circular glasses, and dressed in black robes over his body, with dark gloves and boots. He also has a silver symbol hanging from a chain around his neck, in the shape of what could only be described as a rip or a tear.

[b]Sexuality:[/b] Heterosexual [b]Place of Birth:[/b] Barcea [b]Biography:[/b] Alsius entered the ranks of the Barcean soldiers at a young age, and he shone in combat. His skills, impressive from the beginning but even still rapidly growing, brought him to the attention of those higher up in the Barcean hierarchy. It was only a matter of time before he was knighted, and Olain Serio decided to place him in a permanent position near himself, in a combined role of bodyguard and agent. When Alsius wasn't sent to lead men and fight battles, he remained near the King as a not so subtle threat and challenge. When the King eventually decided to go West, Alsius was commanded to stay behind and protect the rest of the royal family. Perhaps it was a good thing that he stayed behind, for about halfway through the war Kyora asked for help, saying that there were revolutionaries from the West within its borders, and they were fearful of an attack sent by the God Kings to search for whoever it may be. It was rumored that at least one of the Gifted had come over, so Alsius went with a force to Kyora. There, he led a hunt that purged many of the revolutionaries, and he even fought in single combat with the Gifted who had come East, the Fearsome Phantasm. Their match ended in a draw, so Alsius never learned why the Phantasm was there. With the issue dealt with, things returned to "normal," but soon the King returned, injured and soon to die. Barcea's efforts in the God King War had been thrawted, and Alsius had never seen the West. He calmly waited as changes occurred and Kori came into power, more than prepared to obey whatever orders she gave. For a while he remained in Barcea, but soon Kori asked him to be one of their diplomats in Gurata, due to the "political" nature there. He accepted this, and has for several years lived in the north in Gurata, sometimes returning to Barcea but normally just sending messengers. Eventually he was retrieved by the Prince when Cyril went to Gurata for allies, and when he returned he was a brutal force in the war. [b]Personality:[/b] Unforgiving. Others would use more basic words such as harsh or cruel to describe him, but the best one to describe him as would be unforgiving. Walking hand in hand with this word is “brutal;” though he has survived into the current age of Barcea, hearkens back to the days of Olain Serio in the way he deals with problems. The third word to describe him as would be cold. He is never angry, never frustrated; he just becomes more serious, or gains a light, somewhat concerning smirk. He doesn’t flinch away from using violence, and seems barely able to feel pain himself. For him, life seems to have very little meaning; more than once others have accused him of enjoying whenever he kills. Morbid to an extreme degree, he gives off an air of arrogance that isn’t wrongly placed; he can back up whatever words or feelings he gives off with no hesitation. [b]Likes:[/b] Smoking, simple foods, cold weather, combat, reading, and alcohol. [b]Dislikes:[/b] People in general, gatherings, stubborn people, obnoxious individuals, complications, and he views most music as a waste of time. [b]Skills/Strengths:[/b] Alsius is almost a monster in combat, a terrifying opponent to face. Not only is he physically strong and fast, he has a brilliant and strategic mind that adds to his lethality. [b]Flaws/Weaknesses:[/b] Whenever Alsius gets too far into combat, it seems to be difficult for him to pull out of it. He ignores injuries he receives, so against opponents of equal skill he'll start gaining more and more, even as it becomes much more dangerous to do anything. [b]Weapons/Equipment:[/b] A long, thin blade, and he wears pieces of metal armor over his body, mostly as protection on his forearms and legs. [b]Appearance:[/b] Alsius is tall and thin, one who looms over most people. He has bright red hair and sharp blue eyes, his face almost feral in shape. He typically dresses in an off-white cloth, his armor matching this with a dull shine. He keeps his blade at his side. He usually is smoking.

[b]Sex/Gender:[/b] Male. [b]Age:[/b] Thirty-five. [b]Sexuality:[/b] Heterosexual [b]Place of Birth:[/b] Gurata. [b]Biography:[/b] Kisarin is the middle child of the new generation of Guratan chiefs, the power having been passed to him and his siblings when he was twenty-nine. His area of domain is the western part of Gurata, so most of his territory borders H'kela. He has been dealing with bandit raids from along the border, but he believes that even if they seem to be Barcean, it is just a ruse by H'kela to sour relationships overall. He seems to enjoy the nomadic lifestyle and the customs of Gurata. Kisarin was more than prepared to help the Prince, but had to wait until after Cyril succeeded in trial by combat. [b]Personality:[/b] Kisarin, despite his imposing size, is a cheerful fellow, one who enjoys a good feast and party. Perhaps the term gentle giant suits him, though there are times he can be not so gentle. He enjoys having a fun time, but when danger is present he is more than ready to fight. [b]Likes:[/b] Celebration, good food, the nomadic lifestyle. [b]Dislikes:[/b] Annoyed by H'kela, quite possibly fearful of Seryosa. [b]Skills/Strengths:[/b] With his massive size and strength, Kisarin is a powerhouse that will absolutely destroy a defense. His size also gives him a significant range, as does his weapon. [b]Flaws/Weaknesses:[/b] He is not particularly fast, so he has to often work faster opponents into a corner with his larger range. He also wears no real armor. [b]Weapons/Equipment:[/b] A massive blade that is as tall as he is and as wide as his torso. [b]Appearance:[/b] Extremely physically fit, Kisarin has tanned skin and short dark hair. He wears furs and the like of multiple animals, but his arms are bare. He keeps his blade on his back at an angle. There are scars all over his body from the many fights he's been in.

[b]Biography:[/b] Richard's full story will be revealed. For now, know that he was once an extremely well known monster hunter but has been serving the Lady of Demons for many, many years now, and has been a messenger for her as well especially to the Serio family. Otherwise, he waits on his Lady, patient for orders. He was sent to retrieve the Serios from Barcea in order to give them a safe place, and in the process rescued the Queen from an assassination attempt. Upon returning to the Lady of Demons' manor, he gave Calypso wires like he uses. [b]Personality:[/b] Richard is a calm, cool, and collected individual, as expected of the Head Butler of the Lady of Demons. If there is a problem, he will have it dealt with as quickly and quietly as possible, and no sign of it will ever reach his Mistress. He is perfectly polite and punctual, and respects authority. He expects the best of those beneath him, and what few may exist at his level. [b]Likes:[/b] Smoking after a hard day's work, working and especially cleaning and cooking. [b]Dislikes:[/b] Messes, disrespect to his Mistress, problems for his Mistress. [b]Skills/Strengths:[/b] Despite his age, Richard remains a powerful individual, perhaps due to the influence of his Mistress. He is fast, strong, and deadly. His offensive and defensive skills are very high. He also has a strange, almost impossible magic that is available to him in the form of time and space magic, able to manipulate the perception of both aspects for others. [b]Flaws/Weaknesses:[/b] Despite being somewhat alleviated, age has still has an effect on him. He is not nearly as strong as he was in his hey-day, and now he prefers to remain stationary to conserve as much strength as possible. [b]Weapons/Equipment:[/b] His main weapons come in form of magical wires that seem to come from his fingertips. With these, he can do everything from lightly catch an object or person, shred them to bits, or block attacks. [b]Appearance:[/b] Tall and thin, Richard's pale skin has its fair share of wrinkles. His dark hair is turning grey, and he often has it back in a ponytail. He wears a shirt, vest, and pants, all dark. He also has gloves, and shiny black shoes. He wears a monocle over his left eye.

Becoming a professional of the Arena was only a matter of time, and within those walls he excelled. He fought for the highest bidder, and always fought to win. In his time, he's killed a few people who weren't wise enough to back down, and crippled even more... Including a certain "Joy." He fought for Seryosa during the trial by combat.

This has allowed him to fight to his very best, at least from his perspective, and also keeps him from feeling guilty about previous fights. Likes: A good, long fight, filled with danger and challenge. Dislikes: Easy fights are his greatest dislike.

Staying for a time in Barcea, they eventually made their way all the way to the Homestead in Gurata, thinking of it as an easier, if more rural, place to start. Aimless for a little while, he soon ended up joining the Arena whenever he learned he had a bit of a talent for fighting. This was only very recently, so he has little recognition among his peers. He fought for Seryosa duringt he trial by combat. Personality: Very young and very inexperienced, Karul still has a lot to learn. He is eager to do so however, constantly watching and adapting. Likes: The jovial nature of those in the arena, continuing to grow and develop. Dislikes: The brutal nature of those in the arena, getting stuck or puzzled. Skills/Strengths: With decent skill, Karul's greatest strength is probably how quick of a learner he is, and how he can adapt to his opponents. Flaws/Weaknesses: Karul is struggling to find a definite place or style, and this shows as he fights with slight indecisiveness and nerves. Weapons/Equipment: A spear.

Birthday: March 13th Height: 5'7 Weight: 130lbs Race: Human Sex/Gender: Male Age: Twenty-seven(?) Sexuality: Unknown Place of Birth: Barcea Biography: Tihn was probably always a thief, even from a very young age. Keeping away from the Barcean authorities started to become too difficult, so he fled north, over the Guratan border and out of their grasp. His attempts to steal in the very differently structured Gurata got him captured, and almost pressed into service in the Arena to pay back for his crimes. By the time he had done his penance, he learned that he had a talent in the Arena, and decided to stay. After all, the people he beat could only do so much to keep him from stealing from them, especially after knocking them out. He fought for Seryosa during the trial by combat. Personality: Casual to a fault, Tihn's focus is very, very narrow. He only cares about himself really, and what he can get his hands on to make some easy coin. Likes: Money, pissing others off. Dislikes: Punishment, not getting a good haul. Skills/Strengths: Tihn is very agile, good at getting up close and landing multiple hits before moving away to a save distance.

[b]Height:[/b] 5'0" [b]Weight:[/b] 85 lbs [b]Race:[/b] Demon [b]Sex/Gender:[/b] Female [b]Age:[/b] Thousands of years, but appears to fluctuate back and forth between the age of an older child or a younger teenager. [b]Sexuality:[/b] Homosexual(?) [b]Place of Birth:[/b] Unknown. Currently resides in the mountains to the east of Barcea. [b]Biography:[/b] Karin's story will be revealed. For now, know that she has been a source of information and advice for Queen Kori, is a quiet friend of the Serio family, and now lives in a magical, reality bending area (probably due to her own influence) in the mountains. Personality: Renata’s personality stems from the fact that she doesn’t like being bored. She proceeds almost casually to correct this problem, making her seem rather uncaring and sometimes downright sinister/sadistic. Because of this, she’s often seen with a slight smile on her face, which can be described as anything from slightly amused to completely twisted; it depends on who you are asking and what’s going on when it pops up. Her attempts to remain amused can lead to her either committing the most innocent actions to some of the more concerning. She personally doesn’t seem to see anything wrong with her actions, but then again she stops herself just before doing anything cruel as well. With this basis in mind, the rest of her personality can be inferred, and how it would apply to different situations. Her personality seems to sometimes shift back and forth from a more childlike state to a more adult one. At times she can seem a little selfish as well, but this is when the more childlike state is in play. Although it may take a little persuasion, she performs her duties with extreme speed and ease, to the point that she’ll often put all work off until the last minute, and then complete it all within an hour or so. Due to the fact that she stops just before becoming cruel, it can be inferred that she feels at least some form of concern for those beneath her, although many believe this to be highly unlikely. During the war she offered her home as a save haven for the Serios, and when they arrived gave them information about their true enemies the Manu Propria, and gave them gifts the fight them. [b]Likes:[/b] Roses, sweets, the night, the cold, games, and, of course, human blood. [b]Dislikes:[/b] Boredom, too much sun, many other demons (though they're long dead).

She typically wears a beautiful dress of extremely light pink, almost white, which is accented by deep dark red and black, including black jewelry hanging from the dress and a red sash around her waist. Typically, black is used in a patterned manner on her clothes. Her shoes are red, and her leggings and sleeves are black. Her nails are long, sharp, and red.

[b]Sexuality:[/b] Bisexual(?) [b]Place of Birth:[/b] Unknown, currently lives in the mountains to the east of Barcea. [b]Biography:[/b] The full story of Helle Renata will be revealed within the events of the story. For now, know that she lives with her sister, and spends her days exploring and having a fun time. She was more than estatic about guests. [b]Personality:[/b] Helle has an extremely childish, playful personality, completely embracing her child-like appearance. She has very little cares in the world, just enjoying playing with her toys and with others, and meeting new people. She is very easily excited, and is extremely friendly. [b]Likes:[/b] Cute things, sweets, games, new people. [b]Dislikes:[/b] Being bored, vegetables, having to sit still or be "proper." [b]Skills/Strengths:[/b] Being a demon of the Renata family, Helle is extremely fast and strong, and has inborn latent abilities that she has yet to truly tap into. [b]Flaws/Weaknesses:[/b] She has not worked to train herself, so she has very little control of her abilities despite her age. [b]Weapons/Equipment:[/b] N/A. [b]Appearance:[/b] Helle has pale skin and red eyes. Her hair is blonde, most of it long enough to frame her head but a longer part is pulled into a side ponytail by a red bow. Her dress is also red with white accents, and is very simple. She prefers not to wear shoes and rarely does indoors, but will if absolutely necessary or commanded by her sister.

[b]Birthday:[/b] Unknown. [b]Height:[/b] 5'9" [b]Weight:[/b] 150 lbs(?) [b]Race:[/b] Divine [b]Sex/Gender:[/b] Female(?) [b]Age:[/b] Immeasurable. [b]Sexuality:[/b] Pansexual. [b]Place of Birth:[/b] Unknown. Resides either in the mountains that border Barcea to the north, or in the Divine Plain every so often. [b]Biography:[/b] Ambrosia is a Divine. To recount her entire history would quite possibly be impossible. More recently, she has begun to prefer living in the so called "mortal world", at least for the past several centuries. Here she quietly lives in mostly solitude, though around 20 years ago she began to raise Christopher since he was a baby. She is the one who he refers to as his mother, and she refers to herself as his mother, too. She showed herself in front of the Prince and his company, providing words of encouragement and advice. She was also present at Kori's funeral. [b]Personality:[/b] Ambrosia is more than a little different. Whenever she is found, she is typically napping in some of the most unusual places and positions; upside down on a tree branch, in the middle of a flower field or garden, and underneath the kitchen table (literally on the underside) are just a few examples. After waking and soon before falling asleep again, she’s often in a half groggy/half dazed state, apparently not really noticing or understanding what’s going on around her. She will eventually attempt to fall asleep once again, like this. If kept awake, her mind will slowly clear, and she will eventually reach an awakened state, content to be functioning. Like this, she’s a rather playful, mischievous person, with a curiosity that cats could never survive with. She enjoys having fun as well; she enjoys witnessing parties, not necessarily being the center of attention but being there none the less. She enjoys a good drink every once in a while as well, if not an excess. She enjoys rare things as well, often collecting curious items and storing them away. She seems to be a rather kind person most of the time, although this kindness because slightly twisted and frightening when she finally reaches a point of irritation; it becomes unnatural, and is a warning for all of those nearby to start running away as fast as possible. However, reaching this point of crossing her temper takes an immense amount, unless a few certain words are said in a certain order. [b]Likes:[/b] Sleep, alcohol, popping in areas unexpectedly, teasing others, playing pranks, and fluffy critters. She also loves her adopted son Christopher. [b]Dislikes:[/b] Being awake for extended periods of times, not being allowed to drink, being rushed, hard work, and comments about her age. [b]Skills/Strengths:[/b] She is a Divine. This will be unknown for a while. However, her brand of magic usually involves creating 'tears' in reality that go from one place to another, so that is a bare minimum. [b]Flaws/Weaknesses:[/b] She is a Divine. This will be unknown for a while. [b]Weapons/Equipment:[/b] Unknown. [b]Appearance:[/b] Ambrosia is a beautiful woman with long blonde hair. She wears a dress that is a whitish sort of grey on the sleeves and at the sides, and purple down the middle. Here and there are red ribbons as accents. She wears a sort of mob cap on her head, and carries a parasol she always keeps with her. Her eyes are deeply purple with golden flecks, and her lips are a bright red. Physically, her body is clearly shaped to be as attractive as possible, and being a Divine it's probably very possible she can shift her appearance.

[b]Height:[/b] 5'3" [b]Weight:[/b] 105 lbs [b]Race:[/b] Demon [b]Sex/Gender:[/b] Female [b]Age:[/b] Thousands of years old, but appears to be in her thirties perhaps. [b]Sexuality:[/b] Asexual. [b]Place of Birth:[/b] Unknown, currently lives in the mountains to the east of Barcea. [b]Biography:[/b] Resalia's history is known only to herself and Karin Renata. What matters now is that, currently, she works for the other demon, practically living within the impossibly massive library within the Renata household and constantly at work. [b]Personality:[/b] One word is really only needed to describe Resalia; apathetic. She seems to care about very little, at least about anything alive. When it comes to people, she avoids contact at all costs. She appears to be closed off from the world completely, but she still has the uncanny ability to call out anyone doing anything she deems wrong in the library, no matter how absorbed into her activities she seems to be. She doesn’t like paying attention to other people talking, and often uses her extreme amount of knowledge to come up with complicated answers to others’ questions in order to get them to leave her alone. All in all, she is rather introverted, and trying to get her to socialize is asking for strugg le. [b]Likes:[/b] Quiet, being alone, reading, writing, research, and resting. [b]Dislikes:[/b] Physical activities, loud things/people, being outside, her books threatened, life forms in general, and anything obnoxious. [b]Skills/Strengths:[/b] Resalia's strength lies in her magical power and amount of knowledge, combined with her acute senses. For thousands of years she has been studying, and now she is a magical powerhouse. It is highly doubtful that there is a form of magic that she isn't aware of, if not extremely well educated in. [b]Flaws/Weaknesses:[/b] Resalia is extremely physically weak now, and is in combat almost completely stationary. This is due to a unique disease that has been ravaging her for centuries, building up slowly day by day to its current state. Currently, she often has trouble even moving around, struggling to breathe. [b]Weapons/Equipment:[/b] Magical tomes, and her preferred methods of distributing magic are through crystal. [b]Appearance:[/b] Resalia is small, thin, with extremely pale skin and long purple hair. Her hair is pulled into two lengths that go down either side of her head in front, down to just above her stomach. She typically remains in nightclothes all day, just throwing a night robe with a hood over what she sleeps in. She has multiple bows of light red and blue in her hair and over her clothes. She walks around in slippers. [b]Theme Songs:[/b] A fun little extra I always like to include.

[b]Occupation:[/b] Queen of H'kela [b]Birthday:[/b] February 4th [b]Height:[/b] 5'4" [b]Weight:[/b] 115 lbs [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Sex/Gender:[/b] Female [b]Age:[/b] Twenty-One [b]Sexuality:[/b] Bisexual [b]Place of Birth:[/b] H'kela [b]Biography:[/b] Revali was born the daughter of Gartian with one of his concubines, and like many of his children was forgotten quickly by the King. He certainly didn't care for any of his children, and forgot about her all the more quickly after the death of the mother not too long after that. However, Revali was not forgotten by all of the advisors and conspirators to the throne, people to who even the slightest claim from anyone else was seen as a threat. As she became older, her life became more and more dangerous, and despite her interest in magic (and her skill with it) she would have died very early on, like most if not all (she herself is not certain, but doesn't really care) of Gartian's children. However, the Lady of the Demons, Karin Renata, took interest in her due to just how special she was, and how little she cared for the political game. She placed Revali under her protection indirectly, sending her tools to learn and defend herself with. When Gartian was finally killed, Revali happened to be found by Cyril after mass violence, and when the politicians were preparing to fight once again to install a leader of their own design, the Lady of Demons intervened and placed Revali on the throne, wiping out the crust of individuals at the top in the process. Since becoming Queen, Revali has taken the time to surround herself with competent, trustworthy (at least somewhat) individuals in places of power, and has kept to her own research for the most part. [b]Personality:[/b] Revali is extremely introverted, to the point that she often ignores the entire world around her. Her thoughts constantly turn to working on her own magic, furthering her abilities and ideas. She is quite reclusive, and has to be drawn out of her own room or whatever place she has set herself up in by others. When it comes to being Queen, this means that she often needs someone to fetch her to deal with matters of the utmost importance, and she deals with said matters quickly so that she can return to whatever she was doing before. When something catches her interest, however, she becomes almost obsessive, studying it to the greatest extent before finally becoming bored of and disposing of it. [b]Likes:[/b] Magic, research, challenges, and keeping to herself. [b]Dislikes:[/b] Nosy and disruptive individuals, people in general really, and interruptions. [b]Skills/Strengths:[/b] Revali is an accomplished mage, but she excels in one area in particular: so called "dark" magic, especially curses and hexes. She is at her most dangerous when defending, setting up dormant curses in specific places to activate when touched. She is extremely effecient when it comes to the curses she makes, making them almost brutally powerful. [b]Flaws/Weaknesses:[/b] Revali is not one to take the initiative. She prefers to respond, and because of that is not aggressive unless provoked. She also has to have time and the correct tools and ingredients to set her strongest abilities up, so if confronted without equipment she is much weaker than she usually is. [b]Weapons/Equipment:[/b] She always keeps her grimoire on her, no matter what, and small bags of ingredients that are easily preserved. She has plenty of larger, more bulky tools, but these have to be transported or provided. [b]Appearance:[/b] Revali is quite pale and somewhat thin, but her hair is very dark in contrast, and very long. Her eyes are faint lavender. Wearing a H'kelan crown upon her head, set with precious stones, she wears soft, light, sheer fabric that has heavier portions to preserve modesty, and a large robe to cover it all. The colors are mostly dark, and gold. [b]Theme Songs:[/b] To be added later. [b]Other:[/b] N/A [b]Main or Side:[/b] Side, but important. [b]Username:[/b] The Darklight Project[/hider][hider=Shisor Yaguar][b]Full Name:[/b] Shisor Yaguar [b]Nicknames/Titles:[/b] The Devil's Fire [b]Occupation:[/b] "Revolutionary," Leader of a Criminal Organization, former Gifted [b]Birthday:[/b] July 29th [b]Height:[/b] 6'4" [b]Weight:[/b] How much he weighs by himself is now unknown, but with the metal (see below) he is easily several hundreds of pounds. [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Sex/Gender:[/b] Male [b]Age:[/b] Thirty-eight [b]Sexuality:[/b] Heterosexual(?) [b]Place of Birth:[/b] Aatroia, in what was then the Land of Fire. [b]Biography:[/b] The specific details of Yaguar's history for, the time being, will remained unrevealed. However, it is known that Yaguar was one of the initial members of the Gifted, and one of the most powerful throughout. He was distinctly a radical however, wanting to do more and more to bring down the God Kings, no matter who needed to be hurt or die in the process. Things came to the head when Yaguar began to follow the opinion that, after the God King War, it would be the Gifted who ruled; it became clear that Yaguar did not want to eliminate the hierarchy created by the God Kings and Queens, he simply wanted to be placed on top of it. He and Kuraihi Linea, the Void Lord, argued, and before anyone could stop them the two of them fought a quick and brutal fight, which ended with Yaguar being cast into the Void. Yaguar should have died then and there, but he did not. Somehow, he managed to survive, and perhaps even more surprisingly he somehow managed to claw his way from the Void. Broken and sick with Void-Taint pulsing through his body, he somehow managed to survive long enough not just to recover, but to regain his old strength. Gathering followers slowly but surely to him, he waited and bid his time, before he could finally emerge and burn down the worthless structures currently in power. [b]Personality:[/b] Colloquially speaking, Yaguar personifies the phrase "go big or go home". He's got a flair for the theatrical, a penchant to for the dramatic, and he loves presentation. Because of that, he has a habit to form his plans around creating the most impact; it matters not just how long the plan might take because of it, or the difficulties involved. He will make his point no matter what; everyone will know that the strong dominate the weak, and the weak exist to merely serve the strong. [b]Likes:[/b] Combat, theatrical performances, epic poems. [b]Dislikes:[/b] Mundane matters, weak upstarts without any true potential, and boredom. [b]Skills/Strengths:[/b] The full extent of Yaguar's strengths are currently unknown, but from his days in the Gifted he was a spectacular swordsman and extremely potent with fire. These powers increased exponentially when he slayed the God King of Fire, Ridat Mazami. Now, he has regained his powers, and some new ones; apparently, he can now Remake people like the God Kings could. [b]Flaws/Weaknesses:[/b] He suffers from the sickness of a deep, full-body Void Taint. He is constantly in pain, and his flesh is actively decaying, so the metal armor he wells protects himself from more than just sword wounds. Also, he cannot Remake someone in the middle of combat; the process takes too much out of him. [b]Weapons/Equipment:[/b] The armor he wears completely covers his body, protecting him both in combat and also keeping him clean for the most part. Beyond that, he uses a blade in combat, with fire as well. [b]Appearance:[/b] Yaguar was once a handsome if cunning looking man; now, he is covered with metal. Plates cover every inch of his body, seemingly fused to his flesh, segmented so that he can maintain his full range of movement. He wears lose robes over the metal, dressed in warm colors, and his eyes glow gold with purple flecks. He always sits and stands proudly, and maintains a great presence over whatever room he's in.

[b]Sexuality:[/b] He's too young. [b]Place of Birth:[/b] Somewhere in the West. [b]Biography:[/b] What Alexai's story might be is currently unrevealed. All that is apparent is that, somewhere and somehow during his life, he met Lord Yaguar and joined his forces. [b]Personality:[/b] So far, Alexai's personality is defined by what he lacks. He does not respond to emotional situations as others might, usually just choosing to politely smile. However, this smile is just something he's been trained to do; he does not feel any real emotion whatsoever, from happiness to remorse. [b]Likes:[/b] "Like" is a strong term for Alexai, but he is faithful to Yaguar and his cause, and "enjoys" swordplay. He also seems to enjoy making fun of Reseya. [b]Dislikes:[/b] Again, "dislike" is a strong term for Alexai. What he "dislikes" is unknown, as nothing seems to bother him. [b]Skills/Strengths:[/b] Like much else about him it's unknown. He seems to be extremely skilled with swordplay, and extremely quick as well. Just how much, however, remains to be seen. [b]Flaws/Weaknesses:[/b] Will be revealed when he is seen more, and properly fought. [b]Weapons/Equipment:[/b] N/A. Usually uses whatever blade Yaguar has given him for a fight.

[b]Personality:[/b] She believes completely in Yaguar and his cause, and will support him through it to the end. She scoffs at those who stand against him, and mocks them openly very often. However, beneath her exterior she holds a kind, caring streak, one that still survives despite Yaguar; or maybe because of him. [b]Likes:[/b] Yaguar, watching performances and dancing, being lazy.

For a long time, however, he has lived near Kyora secretly. Now, he lives within Kyora, still unknown, and remaining as secluded as he possibly can. [b]Personality:[/b] The Master is a hermit. He seems to hate dealing with people, and is a no-nonsense sort of fellow. His go to retort when dealing with stupidity or stubborness is simply hitting hard with whatever he might be holding in his hand, breaking both the object and typically the skull of the victim. Why such a secluded, withdrawn sort of person has chosen to live inside one of the most populated, varied cities in the world is currently unknown, but he seems to barely trust the staff he has currently hired for his cover-up inn, the Hermit's Abode.

[b]Birthday:[/b] December 12th [b]Height:[/b] 5'10" [b]Weight:[/b] 130 lbs [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Sex/Gender:[/b] Female [b]Age:[/b] Twenty-Eight [b]Sexuality:[/b] Bisexual [b]Place of Birth:[/b] Barcea [b]Biography:[/b] Kori never really liked the way her father did things, and how aggressive he was with H'kela. She kept her dislike and distrust to herself, and when her father went West she just quietly waited for the inevitable. When he died and it was time for her to take power, she was ready. There were those who would take advantage of her and would have had her continue the old ways, but she was more than ready to not bend to anyone. She had her own help and allies, and with them she began almost immediate reform. Warmongers were removed, and a new era of peace was begun. Though the people distrusted her in the beginning, some even hating her because of her father, she won them over with her kindness and honest, slowly but surely. She was a beloved Queen and symbol who has refused to take any aggressive measures against H'kela, though she still keeps a watchful eye towards the border. Kori was captured during the events of the war, and was to be executed. When the attempt her brother made to save her failed thanks to a horrific intervention, she threw herself into the horror rather than allowing her brother to surrender himself to Gartian. Her death made many H'kelans realize that following Gartian was wrong, and had no small effect on anyone. [b]Personality:[/b] Kori is a living embodiment of peace. She is calm, quiet, and friendly. She always listens to others before speaking, and she makes sure to carefully think out whatever response that she might make. She loves her people, and it always shows. Yet she also finds herself being able to understand other people, and love them as well. Because of this, though Barcea does come first because of her duties, she often thinks of other innocents, and what affect her actions will have upon them. [b]Likes:[/b] Reading, music, talking to others in friendly situations. [b]Dislikes:[/b] Lying, combat, resentment. [b]Skills/Strengths:[/b] Kori was not a fighter. She preferred peaceful approaches to situations, and because of that she was skilled at influencing others with her words. [b]Flaws/Weaknesses:[/b] As already said, she was not a fighter. She relied on others for her protection. [b]Weapons/Equipment:[/b] Unknown. [b]Appearance:[/b] Kori was a tall, beautiful woman with graceful features. Always dressed as a Barcean Queen should be in blue finery, she has bluer hair than her younger brother, which went down just to her bottom of her neck. As Queen, she has a silver crown. Besides the blue, there was also white and gold tastefully spread through the cloth of her clothes. When she was killed, her body was mutilated after the fact.

[b]Height:[/b] 6'0" [b]Weight:[/b] 165 lbs [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Sex/Gender:[/b] Male [b]Age:[/b] Thirty-three [b]Sexuality:[/b] Bisexual(?) [b]Place of Birth:[/b] H'kela. [b]Biography:[/b] Gartian was born to the previous Queen of H'kela, out of wedlock and with an advisor. The previous King did not take kindly to this, and many advisors were killed, and eventually his mother was too. However, Gartian was smuggled away, and raised in secret. When the time came that he was of proper age, he suddenly revealed himself with his support, overthrowing the previous King in a sudden violent coup and taking power. This was around the time that conflict between Barcea and H'kela was put on hold, so the people were ready for the violence, and supported Gartian. Since then, Gartian continued to build and build H'kela's strength, constantly needling the Barcean borders as he prepared for the inevitable conflict. Gartian, after a confrontation on the border, soon captured Kori by sieging the Capitol, and was set to have her executed. After her death, he soon fought Cyril, who killed him. [b]Personality:[/b] Gartian definitely appears to be very unstable, but no one dares to challenge him. Because of this, his eccentric, violent nature has grown unhampered, and turned to something truly dangerous. He hates Barcea completely, and wishes nothing more than to destroy the nation, perhaps especially because it is such a "peaceful" nation now. [b]Likes:[/b] Combat, violence, himself. [b]Dislikes:[/b] "Peace," Barcea, Kori. [b]Skills/Strengths:[/b] Gartian's instability and insanity lends his speed and strength an element of unpredictability that disorients his opponent and catches them by surprise. Because of this, he is a dangerous combatant. [b]Flaws/Weaknesses:[/b] While a strength, his insanity is also a weakness as he often doesn't fight to immediately win, drawing out combat in sadistic pleasure. Also, he is a "normal" human besides his insanity. [b]Weapons/Equipment:[/b] He wears some armor over his shoulders, on his forearms, and some on his chest. His weapon is a blade that sudden "zigs" back on itself before "zagging" back forwards. [b]Appearance:[/b] Gartian is a tall, lanky individual. He has darkly tanned skin, and dark short red hair. He wears a crown on his head with his armor, and the color of his clothes are sort of tan and black with yellow, the cape he wears yellow as well.

[b]Height:[/b] 5'6" [b]Weight:[/b] 125 lbs(?) [b]Race:[/b] Human...? [b]Sex/Gender:[/b] Female [b]Age:[/b] Unknown, appears to be in her thirties. [b]Sexuality:[/b] Unknown [b]Place of Birth:[/b] Unknown [b]Biography:[/b] No one knows much about the Advisor. It's debatable how much Gartian even knows about her. However, she is believed to have been involved in the smuggling of him away from the previous King of H'kela, and the one who taught him how to rule, and gathered power to him. Now she constantly lurks nearby Gartian, feeding him information or advice quietly when necessarily, while also standing as a deterrent against a direct attack on King Gartian. It was her efforts tha killed Kori, and she had much to do with the sabotage of Barcea in general. During the battle many fought against her, and she was eventually heavy wounded and crippled. After she retreated, she was killed by the Manu Propria. [b]Personality:[/b] Quiet, what little of the personality of the Advisor that can be perceived is prideful, yet calm. [b]Likes:[/b] Unknown. [b]Dislikes:[/b] Unknown. [b]Skills/Strengths:[/b] Unknown. Quite possibly extremely physically strong and fast. [b]Flaws/Weaknesses:[/b] Unknown. [b]Weapons/Equipment:[/b] Unknown. [b]Appearance:[/b] The Advisor wears long, black robes. There are places where the robes are cut so that they don't cover, such as around the midriff and the ends of her arms. However, where she would be bare, she instead wears armor made of a strange dark metal that gleams oddly. Her skin is pale, and her hair dark and pulled back. On her face she wears a black mask that covers the top half of her face, down to her nose. The mask is designed, with sharp edges curving around.

[b]Username:[/b] The Darklight Project[/hider][hider=Mizra]Full Name: Mizra Nicknames/Titles: The Brutal Witch Occupation: Fighter for hire, currently. Birthday: October 17th Height: 5'10" Weight: 140 lbs Race: Human Sex/Gender: Female Age: Thirty(?) Sexuality: Unknown. Place of Birth: Unknown. Biography: Mizra's entrance into the arena was bloody, and her stay hasn't lessened the bloodshed. She entered as an unknown element, and absolutely slaughtered her opponent before they had a chance to surrender. Most of her fights end up this way, and though she is certainly walking the line she never crosses it to actually break a rule. Because of that, she is usually only hired whenever someone is truly certain to have the winning cause, and doesn't mind if a life is snuffed out in the process. After fighting for Seryosa, she was killed at a later time. Personality: Very forward and unforgiving, Mizra appears to live for the thrill of battle, and even more so for the thrill of ending a life. She doesn't fight to win; she fights to kill, and has no regrets in doing so. Likes: Fighting, killing, and anything involved with that. Dislikes: Being restrained in any way and not properly finishing an opponent. Skills/Strengths: Extremely skilled with magic and her weapon, Mizra excels at obliterating her opponents before they really have a chance to act. Flaws/Weaknesses: Her focus on the long range makes her very uncomfortable up close, and she prefers to avoid close range fighting at all costs. Weapons/Equipment: Her weapon and what she casts her magic through is a staff with a crescent moon-shaped blade on the end of it. Appearance: With shockingly green hair and yellow eyes, Mizra has pale skin. She wears a mixture of blues and whites, with yellow symbols varying from suns, moons, and stars all over her. This includes a pointed hat.

[b]Biography:[/b] Yihira is the youngest of the new generation of Guratan chiefs, the power having been passed to her and her siblings when she was twenty-five. Her area of domain is the eastern part of Gurata, so most of her territory borders Barcea. She is a leader with the future in mind, so within her domain there has been plans for one day building proper settlements, so that they can properly grow. Being the youngest, she is sometimes overshadowed by her older siblings, but like them she is a skilled fighter and powerful leader. She was more than willing to help the Prince, but was only able to do so after the Prince succeeded in trial by combat. [b]Personality:[/b] Yihira is a relatively cheerful person, giving respect where it is due and always up for a good sparring match. She is a hard worker, leading people by example.

[b]Dislikes:[/b] Doesn't have too many good thoughts about H'kela and gets tired of Seryosa's attitude. [b]Skills/Strengths:[/b] Yihira is a warrior, and has been for years. Not only is she skilled at her forms and methods of combat, but she is also skilled at leading others into battle. [b]Flaws/Weaknesses:[/b] A "normal human," so against unnatural opponents she struggles. [b]Weapons/Equipment:[/b] A sword and circular shield, along with the armor she wears, being a sort of armored skirt and a breastplate. [b]Appearance:[/b] Yihira has tanned skin, with almost white hair which she pulls back. Her eyes are green.
