Her small, slender and delicate body often make others think that she is younger than she actually is. But behind it, she hides a surprising force, especially when wielding her scythe. Wears a black and red dress, a small rosary with the holy symbol of the Seraphim, black leather knee high boots, and her gauntlets. Sometimes she wears a black leather cape to protect herself from the weather. [hider=Dress] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/f7/c0/94/f7c0943e02b6aff95e80a346ff0dbc1b.jpg[/img] [/hider] [h3][b]Personality:[/b][/h3] Lila is a very reserved, lonely and sad girl. She is quiet and distant. It can be surprisingly difficult to make her trust someone at first, but if they are able to earn her trust, she can be surprisingly warm, caring and affectionate. Due to her being treated only as an object by the Aion faction to attain their objectives, she is very lonely and longs for someone who cares about her, someone who loves her. Being a pureblood Nayu, she can be efficient and merciless when feeding. Her training also made her completely insensible about the act of killing. If she is order, or if she needs to, she will kill another living being without hesitation. Although she looks to be a cold and heartless girl, she actually suffers a lot because she was alone her entire life and never had someone who cared about her. If you break the shell that encases her heart, who know what will happen? Maybe she will show herself to be a completely different girl. [h3][b]Backstory:[/b][/h3] "The Nayu, a race of vile creatures, parasites that live by sucking blood of other races. Barbaric creatures that wish only death to the Seraphim and their allies. To destroy those vile creatures is our solemn duty, as we swore upon our angelic blood." Those are the words proffered by the seraphim and their allies. But we cant know the truth before hearing both sides, can we? I believe you already know a lot about the Seraphim and their allies. Angels, good guys, clean the world from evil, etc. etc. So lets talk a little bit about the Nayu. Not about their military force, but lets talk about their cultural side. The Moriarty family. Wealthy and famous for their beautiful poems, songs and due to their unique, silver, almost white skin, something extremely unusual for the Nayu. Differently from other Nayus, the Moriarty family sold their poems, songs and the words they created to other races in exchange for currency and blood, to keep them alive. Even the Moriarty being openly pacifist, repudiating violence and staying away from politics, not everyone was comfortable in giving their blood as payment, but nonetheless, there were those who didn't cared about that, and were regular customers. Some of the Nayu never understood the Moriarty family's style of life. Why they choose to trade with other races, even being "friends" with them. But no one could deny that they were very helpful for the Nayu. Providing "clean" blood for any of those who didn't wanted to hunt and hurt others or even for the elderly and weak. There were also some Nayus who shared their ideals. Those who did so, quickly formed a community near the Moriarty's mansion. After all, not all the Nayus are blood starved beasts. Some just want to live their lives peacefully, like any other. I think that you know where this is going right? Politics, media, manipulation of information... "History is made by the winners." Now lets look at the day when everything went wrong. We're finally meeting Lila, our protagonist. On that day, Lila was born, and on the same day, she had her life and future stolen away from her. The Moriarty family had invited all their friends from the small community that formed around their home to a big party. It was a happy day, the day that their only daughter, Lila, was born. Looking at that party, no one could say that the ones having fun and celebrating were the bloodthirsty and violent beasts that the Seraphim said that the Nayu were. They were all dancing to the beautiful music, telling jokes, congratulating the family for their newborn... The only thing different from the normal is that blood was being served together with wine. What they didn't knew was that a unit comprised of Seraphim, Aion and Taxis factions were marching on that direction. Nobody was prepared to that, and when the Seraphim came, the chaos begun. No questions asked, no words said, they came and started to simply slaughter every Nayu they saw. Not even the old or women escaped. At the end of that massacre, only one Nayu was still alive. Ms. Moriarty, who tried to hide herself from them to protect the baby. She had the same fate as the others, slain without even a drop of compassion, without even a word. From her dead arms, a small baby, covered by a fine cotton blanked started to cry. When the Seraphim looked at her, it was a beautiful female Nayu baby, with a silver skin as white as the moon and blood red hair. I thought they would kill her, but for some reason unknown to me, they wrapped the baby on the cotton blanket again, who had the baby's name sewed on it "Lila" and took her away with them, letting a pile of innocent bodies behind. I couldn't do anything, only watch as they took her away. My old body was wounded and I had no strength left to even walk. It might have been a coward or selfish act, but the only thing I could do as an old Nayu was hide between the corpses. Now that you know what happened, you should decide who are the bloodthirsty savages on this story. Believe-me, I may be old, but I'm not a liar. Its not because i'm a Nayu that I would try to lie about such serious things. Even now, its hard for me to speak about that day, but I think that is the least I can do to redeem myself from my cowardice. I had never told what happened on that day to anyone, I should at least write it down before I die. I hope that the small Lila can forgive this old and foolish man. [hr][center][h3]A few years later[/h3][/center][hr] A lone girl travels the land, alone save for her big scythe, that she carries along whenever she goes. Some call her the angel's hunting dog, others say she is the one who brings punishment for those who offend the angels. But whenever she goes, her figure is associated with bad omens and misfortune, especially due to the sad and sorrowful aura she passes. Not much is known about her, as she only opens her mouth to talk with others when its absolutely necessary. Her Nayu heritage is obvious, but no one knows why she carries the holy symbol of the angels on her neck. Rumors say that if you are an follower of the angels and wear their holy symbol, she may approach you and ask politely for some blood with a beautiful, almost angelical voice. There are also rumors who say that she is a Nayu assassin following the orders of the Seraphim, hunting down their enemies with her scythe. But even with those rumors going on about her, the mysterious traveling girl continues to be an enigma, as very few are the ones who aren't superstitious and approach the little girl.

Her slender, flexible and agile body makes her a hard target to hit, and a mighty hunter, being almost impossible to run away from her if she is chasing you.

If you want to interact with Lila, I advise you to read this first.] "Visual range" of roughly 25m (the same range as her "Eclipse" ability) for vibrations (somewhat detailed aka like Toph from Avatar) and a little bit more for sound (very rough details just as a sonar would work, basically a "ping" showing very rough details about things) and smell (Only useful to track something if this thing is bleeding or has a noticeable smell to it, natural or not.) Lila is not able to see the beauty of flowers, the beauty of a painting or a city or to accurately depict a person's unique traits (for example its face & etc.) just with her senses. She is able to distinguish people from each other by their size, body, weight, how they walk & etc. but they are all faceless creatures for her. If she wants to know someone intimately, "see" their face, their unique traits she will actually need to touch the person, feeling it with her hands.

But to those who are able to befriend her and know her better, she can be very caring and affectionate, even passing a motherly aura. It takes a lot to get her angry, needing only a few minutes to calm herself down. She usually prefers to solve her problems by talking rather than by violence. Ironically enough, Meilin loves martial arts and enjoys a good sparring session. She absolutely hates arrogant and obnoxious types, but would never start a conflict about it, choosing often to simply walk away. Meilin is somewhat shy regarding romantic relationships, but if someone catches her eye, she will actually try to show her interest, albeit in more discreet and indirect ways. The most effective way to earn her attention is by being kind, attentive and above everything else, delicate. She dislikes those who try to reach her in a brute, unrefined manner. She loves to read, have interesting conversations, listening to music, playing her flute and meditating. [h3][b]Backstory:[/b][/h3] Meilin was born into a martial arts temple, her parents being monks themselves, she learned martial arts since she was a child. The fact that she was only a small girl irritated some more traditional practitioners, but even as a child, her talent was undeniable, having a strong body and a deep passion not for the power that the martial arts offered, but the wisdom and teachings that came with it, she had everything to master even the more complicated forms. As the time passed, the entire temple was forced to acknowledge that Meilin was special. With that, the others started to treat her not as a child, but as a martial artist, even asking for advices and for her to teach them. Her attentive and calm behavior were perfect for teaching, thing which she actually enjoyed doing, usually helping those who asked her with private lessons about martial arts and tips on how to use their body more effectively, while improving herself. As she continued studying and practicing martial arts, she stumbled upon some very interesting styles, some regarded as myths or only tales, others actual styles forgotten by the time but all of them had one thing in common: instead of using swords, staffs or other weapons, they used the flute. A simple musical instrument, but in the hands of those skilled enough, became a deadly weapon, capable of stopping even blades. One day, when Meilin was practicing tai chi with the flute, she had an urge to play it. She didn't knew from where that came, but she simply took it and started playing while continuing to practice. With slow and precise movements, she took the flute to her mouth. Her fingers moved almost instinctively, together with her body. The melody that came out from that simple flute as she meditated drew the attention of the oldest monks in the temple, as the beautiful music echoed through the halls. She had never played flute before, neither that tune was a tune that a musician could play, it was a tune that reflected her experience and deep passion for martial arts. The elders immediately sent her to a secluded part of the temple in the middle of the mountains where the oldest and wisest monks would test her, and if she had the will to learn and accept their teachings, they would teach her the ways of the Song of the Shifting Flowers, an ancient form of martial art using the flute as its weapon. The test wasn't about her physical, but instead, they were testing her resolve, her mind and her passion for the martial arts. After completing the test, she was deemed able to learn about the secret art. Her second test to determine if she was worthy of learning the Song of the Shifting Flowers was going inside the mountain in a jade mine and hitting the stone with enough strength and on the right places to break a perfect piece of jade, without a single crack. Days passed as she hit the stone wall with her bare fists in the most varied ways, staining the wall with her own blood. Not knowing what to do, she laid down on the ground, wounded, tired and almost giving up. That was when she saw a single stalactite, made entirely of rough jade. It was too high for her to reach, and if she tried to break it with a stone, it would shatter the stone and break its core. Looking around, searching for an answer, she saw a couple of holes in the other corner of the wall. These holes, when she did an open palm strike produced sounds that echoed through the entire cave. She noted that for each time she hit a different hole, it produced a different note, shaking the stalactite a little bit. It was only an idea, but she resolved to try anyways, to hit the holes mimicking the same song she played in the flute before. As she rhythmically played the notes, striking the wall with precision and just enough power to produce the clean sound, the stalactite started to vibrate more and more. When it was almost falling down, she extended her hand, catching it in mid air. When she gave the stone to one of the elder monks, it immediately threw it on the ground. Meilin gasped in terror as the stone hit the ground, shattering to pieces only to show its core which was almost a perfect cylinder made completely of jade. From that cylinder, the monks made a flute for her as a symbol of her being able to learn the art. It was on that temple that Meilin discovered her powers. Almost immediately, a member of the Institute came to invite her to a special place where she would learn to better control her powers, but after a brief talk with her and the elders monks, they agreed in letting her complete her training there. After completing it, it was time for her to go to the institute, where she quickly learned on how to wield her power. Now with 18 years, Meilin decided to continue on the institute. She believed that it was her responsibility to pass her knowledge to those who needed it, and as such, she enrolled on the institute once more for a year before she could effectively teach there.

Without making unnecessary movements, she is able to save her energy, being able to stay in combat for a good while before getting tired. Her intensive training gives her an impressive control over her own muscles, making her able to perform acrobatics that would be difficult to untrained people. She an unexpectedly good cook. Names/descriptions of moves: [list] [*] [b]Channeller category: Alternative[/b] [*] [b]Description of power: Sound Manipulation[/b] [*] [b]Names/descriptions of moves:[/b] [*] [b]Falling Petals:[/b] Meilin can produce a very high frequency note from her flute. Those within hearing range will feel dizzy, nauseated and vertigo. Meilin can focus this ability on a single user, which will cause him to also feel a sharp, disorientating pain or simply let everyone who hears it in a range of 15m feel the normal effects. Its important to note that only those who hear the actual note will feel the effects. This ability is not a full song like the Song of the Shifting Flowers, but a single note produced from her flute. If someone hears it consecutive times, it'll strengthen it's effect on their body and take longer to recover. If one stops hearing the sound after hearing one or more times, he will still feel the effects from the previous times he hear it, but his body will start gradually recovering from it. [*] [b]Fang of the Jade Dragon:[/b] Using the wind passing through her flute to resonate, she can effectively wield her flute as a sword, using the sound waves produced when she moves her flute quickly to either cut or stab. [*] [b]Open Hand Strike:[/b] With a powerful open hand strike, Meilin sends a low frequency wave of sound, damaging the internal organs of the target. [*] [b]Heartbeat of the Jade Dragon:[/b] Using her entire body's mass and strength, she gives a powerful stomp on the ground together with an open hand strike, creating a shockwave around her, knocking those nearby away and inflicting impact damage. [*] [b]Song of the Shifting Flowers:[/b] Using her flute, she plays a tune which creates a pressurized current of air able to inflict cuts on the target. The cuts are deep enough to cut muscles, but not deep enough to hit internal organs. Meilin has complete control over the area that the sound can affect and the intensity of the wounds inflicted. This ability is a full song, and as such will impede Meilin to use her hands for the duration of the song. It has a radius of 10m and it can be blocked if one wears armor or is behind an obstacle strong enough to resist the cuts. The cuts are not instantaneous, albeit they are ridiculously fast to a normal human to dodge, those with enhanced hearing can predict where the cuts will strike and those with enhanced speed can dodge it, although if Meilin focuses the ability in one target, it will be rather hard to evade every single one of them.

He is almost never quiet, be it walking around, running, climbing somewhere high. Ironically enough, he loves to sleep and relax (usually in ridiculous places, such as rooftops, or in other stupid places where others cant reach by just walking normally.) Its easy to know what Shou is doing at any given time: or he is sleeping, hanging around with friends or not being capable of sitting still for even 5 minutes. Sho is an unexpectedly kind guy, and will often go out of his way to help someone in need. He has a deep sense of honor and what is right and wrong. He refuses to do anything that could cause harm to other people. Due to his connection with the wilderness as a Gyokuto, he feels deeply in peace and relaxed while on a mountain or forest. History: Born in a long lineage of herbal healers, his family was always connected with the nature, living near mountains and even making medicines to earn their life. Sho grew accustomed to differentiate poisonous herbs from medicinal ones, brewing both poisons and medicines, making teas and everything concerning herbs. Even for his family though, he was always unusually good with those things, almost like he was born knowing every medicine and poison existent. He hated being trapped the entire day doing remedies, so he often passed most of his time on the streets, be using his unusually agile body to jump around or meeting with other people, making friends, fighting, helping other people who he saw that needed him, or getting problems with the local authorities due to him "jumping around" or "disturbing the peace". Thanks to the fact that he always helped everyone and that he never did anything out of malice, he has never gotten in bigger problems with the law. When Shou discovered the Parkour, when he was walking around the city one day, everything changed. He knew that it was perfect for him, both physically and mentally. The sensation of being free, the speed, jumping around and feeling the wind on his skin was almost like flying. Dedicating a good portion of his time in training Parkour, he quickly mastered it, thanks to his unique physical. Being able to spend his energy made him able to control his hyperactivity, giving him more time to relax and continue doing that what his family was always his family's job: making herbal medicines and poisons. Not only that, but being able to concentrate himself on doing those things, he was able to dedicate himself even more. Starting to use both a dagger and a rope dart to get in even higher and difficult places, to satiate his need for adrenalin. It was on one of those days which he met Sven. As he tried to jump over a gap between two close buildings, he failed to grab the other ledge, falling just in front of Sven's butchery, who immediately helped him, even not knowing who he was. After that, Sho felt that he needed to repay Sven's kindness in some way, that was when Sven proposed for Sho to help him with the butchery, by making deliveries, using his herbal knowledge to help with meat seasoning and helping around the Shop. Other: Shou is an employee at Sven's butchery.

Standing at 1,90m, Erich has a tall, athletic body. His fencing hobby gave him a great stamina, flexibility and agility. His appearance, more specifically his deep red hair and his delicate face, often draw a lot of attention, both from women and men (the latter often provoking and messing with him), but his penetrating blue eyes and his cold expression mostly always turn people away from him. [b]Unit Profession:[/b] Medic [b]Personality:[/b] Some say that his personality matches his distant, cold blue eyes, others say that a devil hides under that blood red hair. The fact is that Erich is a very unique person. He has a cold and calculating mentality but at the same time, he can be surprisingly friendly and warm to valorous companions and friends, even joking around and being a very lively guy. One thing that everyone agrees though, is his penchant for blood and his somewhat sadistic behavior. Nobody knows if he actually likes or if he doesn't really care about being cruel, one thing everyone knows is that Erich can be very cold and cruel if you stand in his way. Due to being raised in a traditional family, coming from a wealthy and noble lineage, Erich knows how to be polite and formal when needed and is very intelligent. But the time he passed serving as a medic and mercenary, after him abandoning the family made him learn to be cunning and calculating. [b]History:[/b] Erich was born into an old and traditional lineage coming all the way from the nobles from old noble houses from Germany. Obviously, his upbringing was fit of someone born in a wealthy family, private tutors, books, fencing, he had the best things the money and status could buy. Erich was always the sole heir of the family, and as such, he was expected to be a perfect gentleman: intelligent, courteous, polite yet firm on his decisions, and above everything else, be a beacon, a role model for his compatriots to follow. At merely 18 years he was already a surgeon, and a damn good one, thanks to the instruction received from the best tutors and medics around. When the war began, his family supported the country with all their forces, as it was expected. That included sending the young and still innocent Erich to the war to serve as a medic. There is a saying that the war can change a person. This saying couldn't be more accurate for the young Erich. Living his entire life being treated differently, practically on his own world, separated from the brutality and violence from the normal world, reality hit him hard. He had to kill many men while serving. Both enemies and allies, those too wounded to be able to survive even with intensive medical care. As a way to protect his own mind from all that, he became the cold, cruel person he is today. Doing what it needed to be done to both ensure his survival and complete his duty as a soldier, he killed, saved, ignored orders, lied and even tortured. Everything with the same cold eyes. Obviously, as the time passed, he stopped caring about being cruel, sometimes even doing things that others could perceive as unnecessarily cruel. After the end of the war, a completely different Erich returned home only to see what the war did with his once proud family. With the German Mark worth even less each day that passed, the family that once was proud to support their compatriots was found participating in political schemes, bribes and doing whatever they could to maintain their wealth, not caring about their country at all. Erich slowly watched his family's downfall, as they lost everything they had: their money, their lands, their status and even their honor. Cutting all ties he had with his family, he adopted the surname "Fuchs", due to his red hair. He didn't wanted to carry his family's sins with him, as he had nothing to do with their actions. His name was his alone. Without having anything left in Germany, he became a mercenary. As a superb surgeon, his outstanding long range marksmanship and especially the way he used a rapier to fight, cutting his foe in order to incapacitate and inflict the maximum of pain before killing it, made his fame rise between the mercenaries. His wanderings led him to a country called Borovia, which he was almost instantly hired as a mercenary for one of the barons on Asnio, the capital of Borovia. Not interested on the political side, he readily accepted the job. It was a good proposal, after all, it would give him food, equipment and somewhere to sleep. Surgeons of his caliber were rare to find, especially working as a mercenary. Thanks to his skills both as a marksman and as a medic, he quickly was invited to be on the Blackshirt army, a paramilitary group that answered to the Baron alone. Again, he had no reason to refuse, and so he accepted the proposal. His friendly and warm attitude towards the other Blackshirt members would quickly earn him their trust and friendship. He didn't cared about who you were or where you were born. The only thing that mattered was that they would work together. Life was good for him, he had friends, a place to live, was respected as a Blackshirt... But he knew that things could change in the blink of an eye, so he was always prepared for the worse. Noble and wealthy families can fall in a matter of months, the same is true for any government or organization.
