[h3][center]Vena's Characters[/center][/h3] [hider=Ethan Campbell] [b]Name:[/b] Ethan Campbell [b]Age:[/b] 18 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Race:[/b] Mura [b]Appearance:[/b] Ethan is 5’10” tall (177.8cm) and weighs around 160 lbs (75kg). [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/2f/6a/1f/2f6a1f52455c16dd604db72435bc17a1.jpg[/img] [b]Element Affinity:[/b] Air [b]Magic[/b]: Speed magic - Ethan can use his air magic to accelerate himself, also enabling his strikes to come faster. [b]Gear:[/b] A machina sword he… Borrowed from a soldier passing through his town. The sword is moderately sharp, and specifically designed to handle magic being channeled through its blade. Along his trip he happened across a discarded glove as well, a strong, tensile wire wrapped inside a small compartment on the back of it. By pressing a small button on the palm of the glove, Ethan can release the wire and use it to grapple, and coupled with his Air magic he can propel himself to high places, granting him excellent maneuverability. [b]Brief history:[/b] If you want to find the epitome of a slacker, look no further than Ethan Campbell. All throughout his life he has been more interested in daydreaming and wandering about than dedicating himself to anything, much to the chagrin of his family. From an early age on he was spotted frequently just walking around his home town, and sometimes even well beyond the borders of it. Though his wandering made him a headache for his parents and the guards alike, one could not argue the boy had developed an intimate knowledge of the area around him. For this reason, Ethan was to take up becoming a guard as soon as he was of age; on his sixteenth birthday he was to begin his training, yet things would become complicated when members of the Church would arrive in his town. From the age of five Ethan showed an aptitude for magic, in particular with regards to air magic. Everyone in the town knew the boy to be a Magi, and having only one other among them they were excited to discover him. He never received training for his magic, as the other Magi focused on Earth, but he and the old man were the pride and joy of the otherwise unremarkable town. That blessing would turn into a curse when, years later, the Church would come by on rumors that the town was harboring a Magi in their midst. Everyone knew precisely who they were asking for, but to the residents’ surprise only one Magi was being requested. Not wishing to see a young boy be dragged off, the old man handed himself over to the authorities, being dragged off in chains back to a prison. Ethan didn’t know another Magi, and while he couldn’t be trained by the old man he had grown to be fond of him, looking up to him almost like a grandfather. When the man was taken away he was devastated, locking himself away for days on end and forgoing his usual wander sprees. Sulking wasn’t really his style though, and the longer he sat the more concerned he became for the old man’s well-being. Eventually he grew tired of sitting by idly, and resolved to try and do something for a change. Knowing full well he couldn’t do much on his own however he left his home, out to search for other Magi to potentially help him in his journey.

[/hider] [hr] [hider=Nymira Rumia] [b]Name:[/b] Nymira Rumia [b]Age:[/b] 20 [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Race:[/b] Dimura [b]Appearance:[/b] [url=https://i.imgur.com/HBDzbkf.jpg]Nymira[/url] is relatively short for her kind, only standing at 5 feet (152.4 cm) tall. She's all muscle though and quite strong for her size, able to fight opponents a good foot or so larger than her. When not in her usual attire, as pictured above, she tends to wear a simple black open-sided dress, with a gray diamond pattern sewn along the front, and loose sleeves that extend from her elbow down to her wrists. A hood is sewn to the neck and she keeps that up at most times. A long pair of black-dyed leather boots complete the ensemble, reaching all the way up to mid-thigh level. [b]Element Affinity:[/b] Fire [b]Magic:[/b] Fire spells, as well as some minor blacksmithing "spells". [b] Gear:[/b] A pair of two straight-edged daggers, crafted from obsidian with a reinforced steel alloy edge. They are weapons that she herself crafted, and boasts (on frequent occasions), that there is no better smith in her entire clan than herself. [b]Brief history:[/b] Daughter to Hákon Rumia, the chief of the Rumia clan, and to-be-heir of the throne. She is practiced in both her swordplay and her use of magic as she had been instructed heavily since a young age by the best mentors within the clan. As she grew older she became more heavily involved in the politics of the numerous Dimuran clans, and even more so in the battles between them. Though conflict was often the tool used to settle disputes she learned her father often tried more diplomatic approaches first, with varying degrees of success. Though she understood the necessity for battle she appreciated an alternative and, in time, came to prefer it. Naturally then when her father asked that she travel to seek out allies among other peoples she readily accepted his request, believing alongside him that in order to truly build their clan they needed to create alliances, not conquer others. With four attendants at her side she left the Rumia clan's territory and set out to begin her mission, hopeful that her father's vision would reach others. Her optimistic outlook did not guarantee a smooth start to her journey and, just a day after setting out, she ran into trouble. Enemy troops from a neighboring clan confronted them to try and take her as their hostage, hoping to gain leverage against the larger Rumia clan. Two of her men gave their lives that day to see her escape, and with only two attendants left she managed to cross out of known Dimuran lands and into the unknown. Her troubles were far from over however as a bandit attack would claim another, and then a pack of wild beasts would claim her final guard. Alone but still as determined as the day she set out Nymira continued onward, refusing to give up on her duty. [b]Additional info:[/b] She is the princess of the Rumia clan, in Dimura territory. One of the larger and more powerful clans, she is currently traveling through Adelon to seek out potential allies and partners.[/hider] [hr] [hider= Shaman Sero] [b]Name:[/b] Sero [b]Age:[/b] 40 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Race:[/b] Varuna [b]Appearance:[/b] [url=http://78.media.tumblr.com/a5118f92d568b905b719eeb3e74cc7cf/tumblr_o9wqkyryiu1qcvjqko1_1280.jpg]Sero[/url] is shorter as befits his kind, standing at 5'4" (165cm.) Like all Varuna his skin is colorful and denotes the tribe to which he belongs. Sero's skin in particular is lime green, with light blue accents across his body.

[b]Gear:[/b] No weaponry usually, relies on her magic for combat. Aside from occasionally carrying a flask she travels light as well with nothing but the clothes on her back. [b]Brief history:[/b] Will reveal more as we go! [b]Additional info:[/b] Former bandit, so she tends to be a little... Morally gray. [/hider] [hr] [hider=Lionel][b]Name:[/b] Lionel [b]Age:[/b] 25 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Race:[/b] Muran [b]Appearance:[/b] [url=http://nuriko-kun.deviantart.com/art/Escort-194920855]Lionel[/url] appears a few years younger than his actual age with gentle features and soft blue eyes. Sometimes mistaken for a female his blond hair is long and frequently tied back though his bangs hang over his eyes and face freely, swept behind his ears when they're willing to cooperate. He stands at a modest 5'11" (180cm) and has an average build on his otherwise effeminate frame. Nearly always garbed in a blue hooded jacket, black trousers and well born boots and often wears a pair of earrings as well, which he refers to purely as "sentimental in value." [b]Element Affinity:[/b] Edos [b]Magic:[/b] Healing Aura [b]Gear:[/b] A pouch of various medicinal herbs, a map and a small lockbox. [b]Brief history:[/b] Lionel arrived to Mutebo a little over a year ago and promptly joined Taliya's group. No one really knows where he came from except Taliya, and if she has told anyone they have kept it a tightly guarded secret. Since arriving in Mutebo he has lent his services to Taliya's group in the form of a healer when he is actually in town as he travels quite often. Again no one save for Taliya appears to know where he goes. He has proven himself to be a very adept healer and has helped members recover from terribly gruesome wounds several times, even saving a handful of otherwise lost lives. Because of this he is rarely questioned by the members of the group save for some of his healer peers who loathe having to pick up his slack. [b]Additional info:[/b] Is extremely protective of his lockbox.[/hider] [hr] [hider=Gage][b]Name:[/b] Gage [b]Age:[/b] 44 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Race:[/b] Muran [b]Appearance:[/b] [url=https://i.imgur.com/wJN4RGh.png]Gage[/url] stands at 6'3" (190.5cm) and sports numerous scars from his years of combat. Often in the field on a mission he hardly has time or the concern to maintain hygiene, so he is frequently dirtied and typically unshaven. His attire rarely changes and consists of a heavy black cloak, a padded leather vest, a woolen shirt, handwraps with brass knuckle studs, reinforced leather boots and thick trousers. Some might say his rough and harried demeanor makes him unapproachable. He likes to think of himself as prepared. [b]Element Affinity:[/b] None. [b]Magic:[/b] None. [b]Gear:[/b] A speargun for which he carries only three spears. He carries a small satchel across a belt on his chest containing a handful of natural remedies, typically for common poisons. And he near always wears his gloves with which he's combined a pair of knuckles with atypical handwear. [b]Brief history:[/b] He's been with Taliya and her merry gang of misfits for as long as he can remember. He was raised by the former leader, Samuel, and took over a mentor role when Taliya assumed the leadership position later on. A bandit his entire life he's not without his morals, though what few he does have tend to fall to the wayside when it comes to Magi. He's trained numerous of Taliya's members both within their bandit camp and now within the resistance movement. For a man not possessing magic he has little issue with killing Magi, and prides himself on such ability. He is a master-at-arms of sorts for Taliya and her people, and doubles as her go-to man alongside Kensen when work is needed to get done. [b]Additional info:[/b] Longest tenured member of both Taliya's rebels and bandits. Probably the only man who can call her a "daft bitch" and get away with it.[/hider]
