Davy Jones
"Home is not a place, but a feeling in yer heart."



☠️Name:
Jas Nedakh

☠️Other Names:
Davy Jones, Captain Jones, Jones, The Ferryman of Lost Souls, Devil of the Sea

☠️Age:
Eight Hundred and Fifty-Three

☠️Affiliation:

A neutral evil villain does whatever he can get away with. He is out for himself, pure and simple. He sheds no tears for those he kills, whether for profit, sport, or convenience. He has no love of order and holds no illusion that following laws, traditions, or codes would make him any better or more noble. On the other hand, he doesn't have the restless nature or love of conflict that a chaotic evil villain has. Some neutral evil villains hold up evil as an ideal, committing evil for its own sake. Most often, such villains are devoted to evil deities or secret societies. Neutral evil is the best alignment you can be because you can advance yourself without regard for others. However, neutral evil can be a dangerous alignment because it represents pure evil without honor and without variation.

☠️Status and Job:
Pirate Captain - Ruler of the Seas

☠️Appearance Thirteen Years Ago (Eight Hundred and Forty ):


☠️Appearance Today (Eight Hundred and Fifty-Three):

☠️Magic Capabilities:
It didn't take Jones long at all to discover that he, like his brother Kashekim, held some sort of concealed power within him. At first, Jones believed it to be coincidence. While at sea, it rained when he felt sad, the winds picked up and the waves rocked when he was angry, storms dissipated when he felt content. But the more Jones began to experiment over the years, the more he came to understand his power. He could control the ocean - a true God of the sea. Sea monsters would attack, and he could command their surrender. It was all very exciting and confusing for Jones, but as the years dragged on into centuries, it became the norm. Very rarely does Jones even think about how he had come to possess these abilities anymore, and simply just... is. Though in the quieter moments in his life, Jas can't help but to feel that the strong talent of magic that courses through he and his brother's veins has something to do with the father that had abandoned them so many years ago.

☠️Weapons:
Always on his person, Jones has a rather beautiful rapier sword which he does most of his pirating with. However, on a more "decorative" occasion, he will swap out his usual sword for something with a bit finer taste and go with his second rapier sword

☠️Strengths:
Despite his rank as pirate, he speaks with eloquence and intelligence, which shows that he has a higher education than one would assume from that of a common pirate.A great deal of his charm is revealed through his story telling. Having explored the world, he has a great deal of knowledge and can keep a crowd interested by the stories he has to share.

Even before becoming a pirate and adventurer, Jones was always skilled in physical and martial training. A talented sailor, Jones' skill in voyaging a ship is almost unmatched, even by Atlantean standards. Bolstering this skill is an inherent amount of skill when it comes to reading the stars for navigation. Because of this, he is able to journey across the seas without need for a map. However, he is a talented cartographer, and can chart maps completely unintelligible to anyone other than himself. To this end, he can also decipher the maps of others unless they are magically enchanted. Jones likewise has consummate knowledge and experience in regards to the sea. He is so skilled, in fact, that it's said he can even pinpoint the location of the legendary whale Monstro more likely than not.

A highly talented fighter and duelist, Jones displays master over both hand-to-hand combat and swordsmanship. Owing both to his training and his heightened physical abilities, Jones has never lost a duel. Being a pure-blood Atlantean, Jones, like all members of his race has strength, speed, stamina, senses, agility, reflexes, accuracy, durability, intelligence, healing time and flexibility that are far superior to that of the average person which he uses to his advantage.

Also, thanks to a rather profitable trip to Thebes a number of years ago, Jones has obtained enough Pegasus feathers to fashion into sails, thus granting The Flying Dutchman the ability to fly, really amping up it's reputation as a ghost ship of legend.

On an off-handed note, Jones can also work a tattoo gun and has tattooed himself and many of his shipmates on a number of occasions. He also does piercings, having done his own ears and a handful of those on his crew.

☠️Weaknesses:
Jones has a fierce reputation, known as a dangerous and fearsome Captain of the Seas. Disbanding his true name long ago (very few people even know Davy Jones isn't his given birth-name let alone what his real name is) his reputation now spreads as the cruel and less than merciful Davy Jones. Jones, is a tormentor. He enjoys bullying others both verbally and physically. He is confident to the point of being highly cocky and arrogant, which only enables his mocking and ridicule towards others. He is not above name calling or putting people in their place for the sheer purpose of entertainment. He has a strong sense of humor, however probably one only understood by his shipmates.

He is of a dark nature, and takes great pride in his role as Captain, and all he has achieved in this position. Whether it be his encounters with women, or all the gold and riches he has looted. With that said, he does enjoy the company of women and will often find himself in such company when he and his crew break on land, and find the nearest tavern. He has a skewed sense of honor, referring to himself as a man with a code of honor, however is not above killing needlessly should someone dare challenge him to such a fight. He is a determined and vindictive man, never one to back down from his purpose. He will never admit fear nor defeat, and never backs away from a fight or challenge. He is not trustworthy and can be quite deceitful at times. But then again, he is a pirate after all so one cannot expect much else.

☠️Other: Jones was very close to his niece, Kidagakash Nedakh, before leaving Atlantis. He also has a daughter, Ursula, who was lost to him long ago.

☠️Biography:
Spanning back over a great number of years, Jones (then known as Jas) was born in Atlantis into the royal family. The younger brother of the two, Jas grew up slowly in the shadow of his brother, though paved his own way even from childhood in an attempt to be a normal kid just like everyone else. Jas had no pride for his royal blood, in fact, he detested it. All his friends saw him differently, treated him differently, and oftentimes Jas could even hear them talking about him behind his back, afraid that if they didn't do what he said, they would get in trouble. For this reason, Jas eventually grew up without having friends, not wanting to have to subject others into feeling that they were forced to like him, so he spent his free time developing skills that could keep him entertained by himself for hours on end to pass the time by. So Jas took up learning how to fight, learning to read and write, studying the stars and other various skills that he could have fun with just by himself.

His older brother, Kashekim, tried to be both a good brother and a friend to Jas, but he was well on becoming shaped to be the next Leader of Atlantis and was kept busy with learning other mundane skills that Jas had no interest in such as water magic, spiritual healing, alchemy and meditation. As both boys grew up, they grew further and further apart, having nothing in common with the other save for the blood that kept their hearts pumping (discount the life crystal that helped to prolong their already-long lives).

Their father, on the other hand, took a special shine to Jas and gave him as much of his time that he could spare when not running Atlantis. He was patient with Jas, kind and loving - his only true friend. But fate frowned upon Jas quickly, as their mother obtained some strange disease not known to Atlantis and quickly died. And then, shortly after, their father left. It was assumed that their father had left from a broken heart, but all Jas could comprehend was abandonment. It was their mother's sister who took the boys in - she and her husband taking the mantle of King and Queen and ruled Atlantis for many more years to come, raising the boys like their own.

Despite the longevity of life that the crystals brought the Atlanteans, their lives couldn't go on forever, however. At the ripe old age of nearly three-thousand, Jas and Kashekim lost their uncle and King to death. The loss of their city's leader was a deep and heavy one, the mourning ceremony went on for months until finally Kashekim was named his successor completely and took up the mantle. With his brother now Chief Shaman, Jas felt even further away from his family than he did before, getting an overwhelming sense of "not belonging" though for the time being, said nothing on the matter

A few hundred years later, with Jas now three-hundred and eighty-one years old, his brother gave Jas a niece in which Jas took an immediate liking to, despite her royal blood that he grew up to hate so much. The two of them simply connected in a way that Jas hadn't experienced before; a bond of both family and friendship. He watched over Kidagakash often, putting in whatever time he could in having a hand in raising the young princess and once she was old enough, the two spent countless hours together talking more philosophically about what life had in store for them and where their paths would take them one day.

Interestingly enough, Kidagakash had taken an interest in Jas' learned skills and asked Jas to teach her privately, both knowing that Kashekim would throw a fit if he found out. Jas and Kida's relationship had already grown strained because of Kashekim, The Shaman had confronted Jas a number of times asking Jas to be more careful with his topics of conversation with Kidagakash, not liking the influence he had on her. Jas didn't listen, however, finding it to be in Kidagakash's best interest to be well-learned in any and all fields possible and trained her in private, just as she had asked, both in body and mind.

So as the years went on and the relationship between Kidagakash and Jas grew stronger, what was left with Jas' relationship with his brother grew weaker, reduced to nothing but squabbles on the streets and late-night scoldings that often-times stemmed from Jas' close relationship with his niece. Finally, one fateful night, at four-hundred and eighty-three years old, Jas had heard enough and left Atlantis, fully well knowing that he would never be able to return (such was the law of Atlantis). He hadn't been given the opportunity to say goodbye to Kidagakash, but it was just as well. Jas never was good with emotional situations. Washing his hands clean of his life in Atlantis, Jas formerly changed his name to a more appropriate translation, now going by Jones. Davy, was simply a name picked up over the years by legends being started about him.

Putting the last four-hundred-some years of learning various skills to use, Jones found himself in the life of a sailor, free to explore the world that was otherwise kept off-limits to him and live a life of freedom with a new name and as a new man. He made friends, enjoyed the company of women, took to raging, pillaging and plundering to get what he wanted with the addicting fuel of adrenaline coursing through his veins. As a pirate, Jones never felt more alive, he never felt more "home."

It didn't take Jones long at all to discover that he, like his brother Kashekim, held some sort of concealed power within him. At first, Jones believed it to be coincidence. While at sea, it rained when he felt sad, the winds picked up and the waves rocked when he was angry, storms dissipated when he felt content. But the more Jones began to experiment over the years, the more he came to understand his power. He could control the ocean - a true God of the sea. Sea monsters would attack, and he could command their surrender. It was all very exciting and confusing for Jones, but as the years dragged on into centuries, it became the norm. Very rarely does Jones even think about how he had come to possess these abilities anymore, and simply just... is. Though in the quieter moments in his life, Jas can't help but to feel that the strong talent of magic that courses through he and his brother's veins has something to do with the father that had abandoned them so many years ago.

He became a legend amongst men - his reputation spreading far and wide. The Atlantean crystal and his Atlantean heritage kept him alive, making the pirate seem immortal. Jones proffered much in smuggling otherwise hard-to-find and illegal goods from one land to another, making many friends and even more enemies. Perhaps the most unlikely and unexpected friendship was formed in The Pride Lands, when a young prince sought him out to put an end to his father. Jones took a special liking to the young man, and over the years, fashioned a strong friendship with him.

Jones frequents other areas of the world, though his home-base is Tortuga where the drink and women are plenty. He resides there currently, living his life day to day and always jumping at the opportunity to stir the pot wherever and whenever he can.

~Pirate Fairy – Zarina Alteri~






Name: Zarina Alteri.
Other Names: The Pirate Fairy, Captain Z.
Age: 149 (physically mid-twenties).
Occupation: Pirate, Smuggler.

Appearance - Thirteen Years Ago (Age One Hundred and Thirty-Six):
Too Much Pixie Dust!



Appearance - Today (Age One Hundred and Forty-Nine):



Personality Traits: Free-spirited, brave and bold, Zarina possesses an outspoken, 'all-out' personality that can be both attractive and overpowering. Many who first meet her find themselves either loving her fiery demeanor or hating her with nothing in-between. She acts with her conscience, oftentimes letting her heart guide her instead of her head. Because of this she is kind and benevolent, believing in doing the right thing. Yet her free-spirit does also makes her disdainful of laws and regulations as she believes such concepts restrict her freedom.

Zarina hates seeing people use intimidation or extortion to get what they want, even more so than when she herself is subject to such methods. She knows how to handle herself in these situations but seeing another person being threatened lights a blazing fire inside her that is nearly unquenchable.

Zarina keeps her own moral compass to guide her life by. This compass, while good, may not agree with society's views as society has no place for a free-spirited woman like her.

Curious by nature with an adventurer's spirit, Zarina has a tendency of going her own way, which usually involves straying off 'the path'. This tends to land her in a mess of trouble more likely than not, but Zarina's high spirits and an almost uncanny amount of luck allow her to wriggle her way out of almost any predicament.

Zarina never takes anything at face-value, always having to find the answer on her own. Likewise she's incredibly stubborn when it comes to taking advice from others, preferring to drown them out or simply forget anything told to her in favor of adhering to her personal beliefs to reach a conclusion, no matter who it is who's trying to help her.

Despite her perky, bubbly nature, Zarina is prone to emotional lows at very rare times, during which she spends her time in the local tavern drinking her sorrows away but never allows herself to get intoxicated enough to impair her judgement too greatly, simply taking the ambiance of those around her to give her a place and time to think. On the other hand, in her usual fun-loving mood, Zarina does have a penchant towards challenging fellow sailors to a variety of drinking games, and prides herself at being the center of attention amidst her fellow drunks.

Skills: Working as a pirate and smuggler for many years, Zarina has developed a certain set of skills that make her a natural at her job. She possesses a sharp wit and acute resourcefulness that only come from an ample amount of experience, making her prepared for nearly any situation that should come up. Sexy and attractive with a rocking body, Zarina has no qualms against using her body as a weapon in itself, though she hardly reaches this point.

She possesses a certain cunning about her that can make her quite dangerous should the need call for it, using her looks, words and street smarts to her advantage when it comes to manipulation.

Yet behind her exterior of a simple smuggling adventurer is also a skilled warrior. Zarina is highly trained in the use of short, quick blades and throwing stars in combat, using her lithe frame and inherent quickness to her advantage.

Branching off of this, Zarina is also quite skilled in the art of stealth and concealment, able to hide almost anywhere she pleases using her resourceful, quick mind and coordinated movement.

But Zarina is still a pirate captain and as such possesses a high amount of skill when it comes to sailing ships, able to pull quick maneuvers and sharp turns with relative ease. Her explorer's instinct and natural curiosity also make her a skilled survivor and a quick learner, her years spent at sea have granted her a diversity in methods when it comes to all of her skills; whether it be a better way to hold a dagger, a better way to tie a knot, or a better way to hunt for food in the wild.

Where Zarina's natural curiosity really shines is her ability to work with and invent new things. Gifted with the mind and hands of an inventor, Zarina spent much of her life as a fairy working on creating new things to make life better in Pixie Hollow.

Biography (Before Earth):
Born from the very first laugh of a newborn baby, Zarina opened up her eyes for the first time to find that she had been placed into a wonderfully enchanted world called Neverland. She was given a name and a job almost immediately and thrust into a small group of fairies who were just like her in skill-set. It was this small group of fairies that became her immediate family and helped her to learn all that there was to learn about Neverland and what it was that they did to help the flow of life on this land. For many, many years Zarina did her duty to the fairies, spending her time with her best friend Tinkerbell as they were both top-notch inventors. Between the two of them, they had come up with so many new and wonderful things, fairy life in Pixie Hollow flourished. The arrangement was simple. Zarina experimented, and Tinkerbell tinkered. However, one day when Zarina took her experimenting just a little too far, she was brandished an outcast.

Each fairy is given a limited amount of Pixie dust to help make their days just a bit easier with flight or other (smaller) means, but Zerina's curiosity got the better of her and began to horde her portion of Pixie dust until she had a collection large enough to begin experimenting. These experiments were both illegal and dangerous, as she tried to change the colors and powers within the magical dust. She pushed the danger aside, however, as she was on the brink of discovery, finding that when mixed, Pixie dust can change color and be infused with the power of a certain talent. For example, when a small amount of blue pixie dust and a purple feather is mixed, the pixie dust turns purple, representing the fast-flying talent. If pink flower petals are added instead, it turns pink and it represents the garden talent. Tinkerbell found out about these experiments, however and went to the higher authorities to deal with Zarina accordingly. The Blue Fairy, leader of all fairies, banished Zarina from her tinkering position and ordered her to live on the outskirts of Pixie Hollow within Neverland so that she could no longer put the other fairies in danger. Perplexed, but finding no way around it, Zarina did as she was told and left the safety of her home to explore the outside world.

Upon her explorations, Zarina met and saw a great majority of wonderful things. She met the Indians, the Lost Boys, and even the pirates that inhabited the area, all of which were off limits to the fairies as they were dangerous, but Zarina did not see any danger, only fun new friends and spent a great number of years playing and learning about them, adopting different traits and skills from each group. However, it was the pirates she became most interested in, and shortly began her own life at sea.

Having befriended some of the pirates beforehand, it wasn't at all difficult to have them accept her as one of their own. The pirate Captain's First Mate, James Hook, was a particular close friend of Zarina and was able to put in a good word to their captain, and Zarina was quickly made pirate (so long as she stayed life-size on deck). It was here that Zarina really started to learn. About navigation, about survival, about dueling and scheming and manipulating. About duels and drinking, tattoos and partying. She adored this life, there were no rules set down to follow so long as she did as James and their Captain said and did her daily chores, the rest was on her with what to do, and she didn't squander a single moment. She spent a great number of years as a pirate, traveling through and around each and every ocean, seeing the world and exploring all it had to give them. The world was her Pixie Hollow now, and she never had to look back. That is, until the position for the new captain came up.

Their former Captain overcame a sudden illness while traveling around El Dorado. They returned with great haste to Neverland (where they could never grow old) but they were too late. Naturally, James Hook should have stepped up to take place his place as Captain but the crew had other ideas, unsure if he would be a better captain that Zarina or not. So they went about it in a contest, both of them having to find ways to prove to the crew on who would make a better captain. It was done in good sport, as Zarina and James' friendship came first, and so they took the competition as a game... but Zarina really wanted to be captain. So bad enough, that she devised a plan to return to Pixie Hollow, steal their supply of Pixie dust, and revel in the spoils with her fellow friends. And that is exactly what Zarina did. She knew Pixie Hollow like the back of her hand despite having been gone for a great number of years, so stealing the dust was easy, and the fairies were none-the-wiser, having never seen Zarina since she had been banished.

Zarina's plan paid off in the end. The pirates loved the display of magic and what Zarina could do with it, and so she was promptly made captain and kept James Hook as her first mate, best friend, and eventually her lover. However, there was a jealousy in the air that Zarina was unaware of. As it turned out, James had wanted the pirate captain position just as bad, and had devised a plan of his own to get it. In what Zarina later found out, James had thrown the competition, knowing that Zarina's desperation would have taken her back to her home so that she could steal the fairy dust. Now with a seemingly endless supply on their ship, all James had to do was wait and strike at the precise moment.

After a number of years as Captain, Zarina had quite the reputation throughout the land for her modest band of Neverland pirates, as well as picking up a small friend during one of her voyages to The Bayou. A baby crocodile, she promptly named 'Baby' was added to the pirate clan, becoming a pet to all but most loyal to her 'Mother.' Finally, after a few more years experimenting with the dust, Zarina finally managed to do what James and the other pirates (who had been in on it the whole time) were waiting for, and granted their ship the ability to fly. Now, with no more use for Zarina (personal relationship feelings aside) James and the other pirates performed a mutiny, taking the remainder of the dust, the ship, all the treasure Zarina had led them to and left her to die on a small deserted island after James literally cut her wings from her body (to keep her from being able to follow them) and made himself the rightful captain. He took all that was now his and returned to a life at sea, leaving Zarina completely heart-broken and emotionally wounded. James didn't get away with it cleanly, however, as Baby had made a last stitch effort on her mother's behalf and ripped James' hand from his body with her sharp teeth and powerful jaws and turned it into a tasty snack after James had cut off Zarina's wings. Now alone, save for Baby, Zarina lay there on the beach, unwanting and unwilling to go on for the time being, letting the high tide sweep in to take her away.

Fate, however, was not done with Zarina, for the island she had been marooned on was near a small and mysterious town known to the public as The Bayou. It was here where the bokor, Dr. Facilier, typically called The Shadow Man practiced his art of voodoo and shadow magic. The Shadow Man's shadow minions spotted Zarina from her place on the island and returned to their 'master', notifying him of the presence of a fairy not far away.

Attending to the island in person, the Foul Doctor quickly found the unconscious, wing-less fairy and, deciding to seize this opportunity, collected the befallen fairy's wings and sent them back to his Emporium with his shadow minions while he attended to the fairy. Waking her up, Dr. Facilier promised Zarina that he could and would reattach her wings...if she worked for him for awhile.

For the last six years now, Zarina became The Shadow Man's smuggler, at first being placed in charge of incoming cargo, but eventually gaining enough trust and becoming a captain of her own ship once again, in charge of smuggling goods from the surrounding lands of Arendelle, Russia, Oz, El Dorado, Italy, Province and Maldonia back to The Bayou, becoming an invaluable member of The Shadow Man's business. She has yet to venture back to Neverland to exact her revenge on James Hook, but it's on her to-do list.

Biography (Life On Earth):
Zarina never made it to Earth and doesn't even know of it's existence.

Other: Zarina has a small assortment of tribal style tattoo's across her body, mainly limited to her ribs, back and thighs. Some of these tattoos are as follows:
Back of the neck and upper back
Hips
Left Ear
Left Ass Cheek
and various other designs in various areas across her body.

~Tod Lock - Lampwick~





Name: Lampwick
Other Names: Tigger, Sandy Plankton
Real Name: Tod Lock
Age: 27
Occupation: Scam Artist

Appearance - Thirteen Years Ago (Age fourteen):



Appearance - Today (Age Twenty-Seven):



Personality Traits:

As a child, Lampwick, or Lock as he was known as, was a wild and reckless thing, never fully thinking things through and simply taking him where the enforced wind blew. He loved being large and in charge, and got upset when others insulted him or took the lead from him. However, he went along with others' ideas if he couldn't come up with anything himself. By far, Lock was the most violent and malicious of the group, making him the most dangerous of the three.

As a teenage boy, the newly reformed Lampwick, in terms of personality, was a total delinquent. He fully enjoyed the events in Pleasure Island and gladly took part of all of it, declaring himself a leader of a band of troubled boys. He was respectful towards Pinocchio, acting as his friend but to anyone else, rather disrespectful. He laughed at all forms of authority, preferring to engage in more crooked activities like drinking and vandalizing even when Pinocchio tried (at first) to tell him that it was wrong. He was considered a jock in his years at Pleasure Island, learning the game of pool quickly but more than that, how to swindle. From this, Lampwick learned how to become a smooth-talker to get what he wanted instead of using brute force, black-mail and trickery like Oogie Boogie taught him, though he still held onto those methods depending on any given situation.

There seemed to be a slight shift in character, however, when Lampwick and Pinocchio were turned into donkeys and boarded onto a cargo ship. When Lampwick saw that Pinocchio had jumped (for reasons unknown to him) Lampwick jumped after him - perhaps an act of love towards his friend or perhaps something selfless as Pinocchio finding a way out and Lampwick wanting to take the credit for it. Little is known about Lampwick's motivation, but the boys were indeed separated and Lampwick never saw his friend again... and became a ghost to Fairy Tale Land.

However, there have been rumors of an older, cold-hearted, cynical male with flaming red hair that continues to look for the puppet, but no one has heard the name Lampwick for many, many years. It is assumed that like he did with Lock, Lampwick shed himself from the identity and created a new one. To become a new man.



Skills:

Lampwick is a smooth-talking, persuasive individual that could sell a man his own tie and reap the benefits of his profits. Whist lying, he is very believable in everything he talks about and his acting skills, honed through his years at Pleasure Island, are nearly unmatched to anyone he has ever had to encounter. He is able to take a group of chaotic, weak people and turn them into the perfect little 'doers', spreading chaos around for Lampwick to enjoy as he sits back and watches.

Aside from his hard-learned gift of a silver tongue, Lampwick is also very athletic though his stamina is low from all the smoking, drinking and drugs he does. He is quick on his feet, can jump over high obstacles and is a natural learner when it comes to playing sports. Though, he prefers easy-to-rig games such as pool or darts than the more physically demanding ones.

Biography (Before Earth):

Unbeknownst to even Lampwick himself, Lock, as he was so named as a child, was born on Earth into a very negligent family. As fate had it one afternoon, Lock, at the age of three, wandered out on his own while the family was on a camping trip and came to a clearing where he found trees. Trees with doors. Still very small and unable to understand the obscurity of what he was seeing, Lock picked a door at random and fell through the hollow of the tree... landing him in Halloween Town.

Found by Jack Skellington, Lock was placed into Halloween Town's orphanage where Lock quickly formed a tight bond between two other children just a little younger than him. Lock, Shock and Barrel quickly became fast friends which was the beginning of Halloween Town's problems.

Assuming the leader position, Lock devised a plan to leave the orphanage when he was only four years old, having Shock and Barrel do his dirty work while he took credit for the results. Now on their own, they quickly realized that the real-world, or at least, Halloween Town, was a lot different than they had expected. Shock and Barrel were ready to go back to the orphanage where they could be taken care of, but Lock stood firm and refused to let them go back. It seemed as though the trio would finally come to an impasse, splitting them up when Oogie Boogie snatched them up for his own selfish use. Thus, the terrible trio was formed and given masks to showcase their 'inner-selves.'

For the next two years, Lock, Shock and Barrel did Oogie Boogie's bidding though they were given free range themselves to do as they pleased. The freedom was exhilarating, and while still being taken care of, the young children became hardened, cynical, and full of mischief towards the other citizens of Halloween Town, reveling in giving others a hard time. Their reputation spread. They made many enemies. But no one wanted to revile against a handful of children in masks who simply 'didn't know any better' which made them the perfect weapons for Oogie Boogie.

Then, one day, Shock and Barrel went missing. Not even Oogie Boogie knew where they went, which created a terrible sense of paranoia within Lock. He hadn't ever had to be on his own before, he always had (what he called) friends there to be by his side no matter what sort of situation they got in. Lock even went to the Mayor and Jack Skellington, but no one seemed to know where Shock and Barrel had gone. So Lock ventured out, determined to find his friends which led him to the circle of tree doors. He examined them carefully, finding one that stuck out to him in a peculiar way (the door which lead to the very land he had been born into) but Lock pushed forward, finding a single tree far away that held a single door. Following his gut, Lock opened the door and fell through the tree hollow which then took him to a land unlike any other. Fairy Tale Land.

Before Lock even knew what was happening, a wagon filled to the brim with laughing and playing children caught his attention - a sign on the side reading "Pleasure Island" catching his attention (more the picture than the words he couldn't read) and knew that if Shock and Barrel were in this land, that's where they would end up. He jumped onto the wagon, keeping his mask on and began a journey that would forever change his life.

At first, Lock was all business and no play. He spent every moment he had looking for Shock and Barrel but as the days turned into weeks, and the weeks into months, and the months into years, Lock slowly began to adapt to the new lifestyle of pleasure island. He had even created his own band of followers to do just what Shock and Barrel had done for him, and with that he one day realized, he no longer needed them. Upon the realization, Lock shed his devil-faced mask and tossed it to the side with indifference, for here he would start a new life... as a new person. Lock was dead. And Lampwick the Trickster was born.

Over the course of another few years, Lampwick came across a wooden boy, just as real as the freckles on Lampwick's face. The boy was innocent, naive, the perfect type of boy he could use to turn into what he wanted him to be in his band of misbehaved boys. Lampwick spent a lot of time with Pinocchio, showing him just how great Pleasure Island could be. That is, until a new ride came to their little haven and Lampwick, being the first to try it out, had another life-changing event when on the ride found himself no longer to be a fourteen-year-old boy, but a donkey.

Lampwick never saw Pinocchio after that, though when he jumped the ship after his wooden-puppet-turned-donkey friend, the curse of the donkey wore off and he was washed ashore. Once more, Lampwick sought himself out on a quest; to find Pinocchio who was beginning to get under Lampwick's skin again, teaching him what having a true friend really meant.

Now, even years later, it can only be assumed that Lampwick is still looking for his puppet friend, but no one has seen him or even heard the name Lampwick used in almost five years.

Biography (Life On Earth):

Lampwick was born on Earth, though he has no memory of it and doesn't particularly know of it's existence.

Other:

Lampwick likes to dress up in flashy, colorful suits (stolen) and almost always has a cigar in his mouth.

~Li Shang - Mushu~





Name: Magnus Ping
Other Names: Mushu
Real Name: Li Shang
Age: (Physically 33 Spiritually 153)
Occupation: Martial Artist/CEO of Dragon Fist Martial Arts and Athletics

Appearance - Thirteen Years Ago (Physically 20 - Spiritually 140):



Appearance - Today (Physically 33 - Spiritually 153):





Personality Traits:

Magnus' exterior is seen as a practical, sensible person. The way he runs his business is though the business itself is his life and can not be parted from it for very long but when he needs a bit of time to himself has no problems with directing people to those he has hired and come to trust over the years to inadvertently take his place if something were to happen. That in itself lets others who know that he is not from Earth that Magnus is always thinking one step ahead. He knows that he will not remain on Earth forever, and already has a plan for the business he built up should he unexpectedly return. He has his feet planted firmly on the ground and knows just what is what.

Magnus is also a very great person to go to for practical advice. Many of his students respectfully treat him as an equal, as they are not shy or afraid to ask him for help whether it relates to their form or something in their personal life. He is absolutely fantastic with children, and never underestimates or undermines them, no matter their age. He doesn't sugar-coat his words, by any means, but neither is he harsh when he speaks with them unless absolutely necissary to get the results from them he knows them to be capable of. He has pushed these boundaries only a handful of times in his life and regrets each and every one of them, still remembering how it felt to break a child's spirit, if even for a few moments.

Being far from superficial, Magnus' more romantic side comes from knowing the person rather than judging them by their looks. To Magnus, any average-looking female can be the most beautiful woman in the world if she has the right personality and carries herself well. On the same side, if Magnus were to see what society would call a supermodel, he would look and appreciate like any other male would, but would not have any interest in persuing anything more than conversation if he does not know them too well. Because of this, Magnus has been called demisexual on more than one occasion. And when he does find an attraction to a woman, he's not afraid to flirt a little to gauge their interest in him back. If it isn't reciprocated, he backs off immediately and does not press the issue.

He's also a bit of a nerd. His Asian culture brings a love of all things comics, anime, manga and yes, he does play Pokemon Go. He would never go as far as dressing up at a Comic-Con or any other Con convention, though he has been known to make appearances at them from time to time to browse the merchandise and spend his money on collectables. Magnus has also been known to have a little fun by visiting casinos, doing a bit of gambling, drink, and enjoy a show or two.

Skills:

Magnus has a natural knowledge of the rarely used Dragon style of Martial Arts, where the style in itself is classified as strong, smart, deceptive and unpredictable. Magnus is all of these things and more having mastered the style quite some time ago before his death. The Dragon style also has a few select traits of the other four Shaolin animal styles but is deemed to be the most difficult to master and the most powerful. Magnus uses quick, snapping kicks that hit with the blade of the foot and uses a full fist and his forearms to strike. He teaches his students that any part of the body that can be grabbed would be considered a target while practicing, especially the head which is simultaneously grabbed and struck. In order to master this style, Magnus had to learn how to keep his muscles relaxed even while fighting and hone the ability to switch from soft movements to hard ones. As a child, and even until this day, Magnus keeps his body in it's prime by doing drills to build the explosive power the style is known for.

Magnus has two trademark attacks he uses that his students aspire to perfect one day. This includes a Dragon-Tail kick, which is used to hit or sweep, and the Dragon Claw, which positions the digits in a flatter orientation than the Tiger Claw position.

With his marital arts training came absolute patience and respect for Chinese history, which in turn transitioned into arcane knowledge of the China both on Earth and in Rivenspire. He is a quick learner and has an incredibly adapt mind, allowing him to read up to three large books a day and retain most if not all the knowledge he gains from them to store into his long-term memory. During his schooling days in Rivenspire, this adept mind and speed-reading ability granted him the "Jinshi" title.

He had very minimal military training, and though he knows his way around a sword he never got the chance to see what he could really do with it before his death, though it became known very early on in his training that Magnus is ambidextrous. Whether he conditioned himself this way to be better than the rest or he was simply born that way remains a mystery even to him.

His years running his own company and opening up various Martial Arts buildings gave him an early knowledge of management. He shows excellent leadership skills by not being afraid of getting results by methods that are both brutal and exhausting, though they are highly effective in the grand scheme of things, showing an efficient leader behind his harsh exterior. He is excellent with money management, advertising, and keeping his company afloat even when merging into the world of athletic sponsorships when he had accumulated enough money to do so.

Magnus also has a hidden, introverted ability stemming from him being a spiritual guardian of the Royal Family. Though these powers have yet to be explored in his human form, he often-times thinks about what his magical limitations might be once returning home. When especially angry, his eyes flash a golden-yellow color for the briefest of moments before dissolving back into the dark brown eyes he was born with. So far, this seems to be the limitations of what he is able to do on Earth.

Biography (Before Earth):

Son of worldy renowned General Li, Shang was born into a heavily-influenced military family. Growing up, Shang was given nothing but the best for the slightly-above middle class family. He was given the best schooling, the best clothes, the best reputation and of course, one of the best houses. Things went well as he grew up so long as he kept perfect marks. There was a single time when his grade dipped a letter and his father had him conditioning for weeks until he was able to get it back up. Shang never made that mistake again. He was always pushing himself, forcing him to be the best student in all of his classes right up until graduation when he then immediately enlisted into the army to fight alongside his father.

For years, things went very well and Shang grew to be a very strong, independent man. He didn't have a whole lot of influence in the army in his young age, but he never let something like title keep him from offering to do jobs he knew was above his status. It was in one of these voluntary jobs that ultimately brought him to his end.

His squad was camped high up in the mountains, awaiting a traveling group that had been suspected to try and attack China from the outside. When the group never arrived, Shang, along with the others, began to get very suspicious. When he went out on a scout, which was not part of his orders, Shang came to the terrifying realization that the enemy had known about their location and was getting set to ambush them instead. Returning to the camp as quickly as he could, Shang didn't even have a chance to let out a breath before bombs and arrows were being rained down on the camp. His first thought was that of his father, his General, so by breaking every rule, Shang ran into the general's tent and tackled his father to the ground where he would be safer. Explosives near the tent went off, and shielded by his son, General Li lived to fight another day and drive off the attacking forces, but Shang was not so lucky.

After the war, a ceremony was held for Shang in high honor and was given a near-royal status upon his death bed. It was the events of his bravery and selflessness that then led to his father's promotion to the Emperor's second, as he could not have any children of his own. Then, suceeding as The Emperor, General Li took over and Shang's younger brother, Li Ping, took over. Li Ping eventually got married and they had a daughter Jí Yíng, who took over as second. She was then quickly married to Ying Zheng, who, after Li Ping's death, took his position as Emperor.

A shrine had been built near the palace a great number of years ago. It was a place where the royals could go to pray to their ancestors for a great many different things. Shang had a statue built in his honor - an Eastern Dragon to symbolise his spirit in battle. Legend had it, the sign of the dragon was to protect treasure, defend against famine and floods, and is filled with ancient wisdom and folklore. But above all else, Shang's personal statue of the dragon was considered one of the two most powerful animals in Chinese astrology and the sign of the emperor.

In spirit, Shang continued to watch over and protect his family - appearing in dreams, giving answers to their prayers by making things "happen" that wouldn't normally. And, when the other ancestors would allow it, Shang could obtain the appearance of his old physical body to interact with those with the purest of hearts for a few moments. Of all of his ancestors that prayed to him, little Mulàn Fa Yíng became his favorite. He spent a great deal of time with her in his spiritual form, finding it easier to lead and guide her this way.

But as tragedy struck, where Shang tried to test the limits of Mulan into making her a better warrior and ultimately breaking her small spirit for a few moments which led to events that nearly costing her, her life, Shang was stripped his title of guardian and cast out by the other ancestors that lived within the shrine. Guilt-ridden, humiliated, and having no honor, Shang was destined to wander the mortal realm as a spirit for the rest of his days, until a Sorcerer approached him with a job that could very well redeem what he had lost. More than interested, Shang was given a position as a guardian for a few children the Sorcerer wished to send to another land. Though still a spirit, it came to a strange (and oh, so wonderful) shock that his body once more became solid and alive when arriving to Earth.

Biography (Life on Earth):

After insuring that the children he had been sent with were safe, Shang continued to follow Merlin's orders by means of fitting into the strange world he had been put into. Knowing that he needed money, he needed a job, but what he was good at didn't seem to settle very well with Earth's standards as he got busted a handful of times trying his hand in fight clubs. After a year, or so, however, Shang, who had changed his name to Magnus Ping (to help him remember his home back in Rivenspire - Ping being a nickname he gave the child of the Emperor when his job was to be her guardian), decided to start his own business in martial arts.

It took perhaps five total years for Magnus to see more profit than loss, but his hard work and dedication definitely started to pay off and very quickly. Suddenly, he had gone from a romen-noodle-every-night kind of budget to being able to go out to the kinds of places that only let you in if you had a reservation. He was able to buy himself a penthouse that overlooked the city, have his home furnished and decorated for him, and even got a taste for the expensive suit style.

He didn't want to spend all of his hard-earned money on luxury, however. Instead, Magnus had invested his time into thinking about how he could, somehow, get some of the children he had been sent to Earth with to be associated with one another. It wasn't until he was at one of his demonstrations, watching as some of his students went up a belt, when the idea of throwing his funds at possible his own sponsorship occurred. So he branched out his business to not only teach Martial Arts, but to sponsor other athletics - more specifically, snowboarding and motocross. He had kept distant tabs on both Elsa and the very strange occurrence that happened to Peter Pan once he came to Earth. At first, the thought of a boy and his shadow splitting and becoming two different people was very strange to him, but then he had to remember that he was a spirit himself that took on very distinct dragon traits.

So reaching out to both Elsa and Pan's Shadow, now Eliza and Sebastian, he offered them a sponsorship to help them in their careers, and was more than pleased to find out that a friendship had formed between the two of them. He kept in touch with the other guardians as well, though save from Pinocchio who seemed to vanish completely. Magnus had to start wondering if the puppet had even made it through the portal at all.

Magnus now spends his time running his business, traveling the world, and simply having a good time. Though when he was almost unexpectedly reached out to by Merlin himself, he knew that things were going to be changing very quickly.

Biography (Before Earth):
Old habits die hard. When Hansel found himself in Wonderland, he came upon a castle. With his hungry stomach, Hansel ventured inside, his nose leading him to the kitchens where he was able to sniff out a plate of tarts. However, upon hearing a noise, Hansel hid himself in the larder, watching through the slit between the doors as a man bounded into the room and stuffed the tarts in a burlap sack before scurrying off. His haste was made clear when soldiers then entered the room, looking for the culprit. As circumstance would have it, Hansel ended up sneezing, giving away his hiding position. The soldiers found him, and deemed Hansel the culprit of stealing the Queen's tarts. He was put on trial immediately, The Queen of Hearts hot on the thought of having his head removed from his body as punishment. However, a small, brunette girl with intense brown eyes interrupted the trial, spouting nonsense until The Queen of Hearts, for some reason, took back her sentence and instead offered Hansel a proposition: If Hansel could find the true thief, he could continue to live with his head on his shoulders, though he was given only eight hours to do so and bring the thief back to The Queen, alive.
