Age: 500

Faction: Rebels

Shifter Form: Black Dragon

Personality: Cold, angry, cruel, these things and many can be used to describe Zel, but it was not always so. Before shifters were discovered, and before they were used for experiments, Zel was a kind, if blunt man. He was often found trying to lessen the troubles of both human and shifter alike. The abuse of his people though changed him greatly, now he is a man of determination and will stop at nothing to avenge the abuse against shifters.

Sexuality: Heterosexual, only with other shifters though.

Likes: Fire
Flying
Shifters
Dueling
Meat

Dislikes: Humans
Failure
Indirect Talking
Excuses
Cats

Weapons: His ancient family sword, it has a scale from every one of its wielders to cover the hilt, and is strong enough to cut through steel with ease. A black .50 cal Desert Eagle.

Bio: Zel was born about five hundred years ago, in a land that none would recognize anymore. He grew up under his father, a member of the ruling class in shifter society. You see back then, shifters were ruled by a counsel of sorts, where the oldest and most powerful shifters decided rules that the rest would follow. Zel knew that these rules have helped his people survive this long, by staying hidden from the humans. As he grew he witnessed a few attempts by shifters to reveal themselves to the humans, and consequently the repercussions. Among these were the Salem Witch Trials, Great Crusades, and so on. All were times where shifters had tried, and failed, to join with the humans and become a full society.

So he grew, and he learned the ignorance of humans would never allow his people to live side by side. Still he tried to teach, to educate humans and shifters, so that hopefully one day both species would be more tolerable when they deemed to reveal themselves again. Zel was even known to stand in defense of human nations during wars when he deemed the reasons just or right.

Now when shifters were discovered over forty years ago Zel thought that maybe things would be different as it was humans who had found them out. He would be proven wrong, more than he knew. When the atrocities of what was happening to the shifters under the knife of these human scientists Zel became furious. He tried to retaliate, but was held back by the ruling council and his father. Zel pleaded with them to allow him to defend their people, but none would hear him, they told him that this would blow over and the shifters would be forgotten. Just like before, but it didn't happen, more and more continued to happen to his people and he was forced to do nothing.

Finally he had enough, he could no longer stand by and watch his people be exterminated by the humans. He did what he had to do. Zel gathered like minded shifters under his command and in one bloody night they murdered the Shifter's Council. Zel killed his own father. Thus the Rebellion was born and the next day Zel burned down Berlin.

Six years since he commands the Rebels from deep under the Rocky Mountains in America. A base that none have yet to detect, and where the rebel shifters know a semblance of peace. Where they can live their daily lives without fear of being found out by humans. Where they have families and children with other shifters. Also where captured humans are turned to slaves and soldiers are tortured. Yes it is a Utopia for shifters, but a nightmare for humans.

Appearance:

Name: Goliath Firetongue

Age: 1,000

Faction: Hierarchy

Shifter Form: White Dragon


Personality: Goliath, despite his name, is a peaceful man that prefers to observe than act. His long life has taught him that patience can be a very powerful tool and gives only to passion. Yet he is very proud and never backs down from a challenge, defending his and any's honor to the death. He prizes etiquette and manners above all else, having been raised in a much more archaic time.

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Likes: carving wooden figurines, playing billiards, listening to classical music, peaceful resolutions

Dislikes: stubbornness, cruelty, close-minded thinking, arrogance

Weapons: When not in his dragon form, Goliath prefers the two-handed broadsword

Bio: Before the shift in Council politics, Goliath had been a proud adviser towards peace with the humans and headed the movement. When all seemed well, he decided to leave the Council to those of younger blood and ambition. He saw a bright future for his shifter brethren and had high hopes. He had known Zeltiax's father and thought him a good man.

Goliath had lived in isolation for years, living his life in peace in a cave in the Himalayas. He had no idea what the humans had done to his kind, nor the violence that had been wreaked in the modern world. He occasionally went to visit the humans and more mundane shifters. The latter always seemed to know that he was one of them, yet of a different breed. Only when Zeltiax began his war upon the humans, did Goliath involve himself in the affairs of the world. The chaos that ensued because of his mentor's actions enraged the usually cool shifter. He promised himself that he would do everything in his power to stop the senseless war and found the Hierarchy. Because of his powerful form, he was given leadership in an age that he knew nothing about, a man out of time. After hearing of Zeltiax's betrayal and patricide, Goliath fully accepted a role of leadership within the Hierarchy in order to combat the threat that was the Black Dragon Zel.

Appearance:

Name: Seraphina

Age: 437

Faction: Hierarchy

Shifter Form:

Personality: Seraphina is hot headed to say the least, but she believes in peace. She does what she thinks is right and lives by a strict moral code, which she finds loopholes in often. She's self sacrificing, though, and tries to find the best in people.

Sexuality: Both males and females.

Likes: Baked Goods, Sparring, Her Bow and Arrows, Talking to people, Flying.

Dislikes: People trying to kill her, being grounded, cigarettes, candles, paints, non stick pans, fan blades, unruly winds, seagulls, liquor soaked grain, tin foil, fishing line, mothballs, pressure washers

Weapons: Her Bow and Arrow, sometimes she lights herself on fire and dive bombs people

Bio: Seraphina can't remember the first forty years of her life, and after that it's been...interesting. The first thing she can remember is running. Running away from everything and everyone, which wasn't easier when the humans came out and started actively experimenting on shifters. She was a radical at first, a cyber terrorist working from a van. She tried to cause as much destruction as possible until someone traced her back to her van's location and she was being hunted down. She was saved by the Hierarchy and has been fighting for them ever since.
