There are very few people that she considers friends however, and even fewer that she truly trusts. She's open and easy to read, she doesn't try to hide her thoughts or emotions at all, but she can and will lie if she thinks it will spare someone else any amount of pain. She is slow to anger, and even slower to forgive, for if she truly loses patience with someone, she believes that no matter what they do next they aren't worthy of her kindness anymore. She is energetic, always doing something with movement or words. She enjoys the company of others, and relishes debate and conversation. [color=696969][b]Faction: [/b][/color] Taxis (hopeful) [color=696969][b]Pet: [/b][/color] None [color=696969][b]Exp: [/b][/color] She's been training since she was 20 in the hopes of joining the Taxis guild. Many hours spent on practice have made the two spells she knows more than enough than she needs in terms of her magic abilities, and twice as much time spent using and practicing with her bow have made her an incredibly accurate shot. She has been able to use all of her blood-given abilities since she was born, but it took time to get certain ones, such as mind reading and telekinesis as well as her ability to manipulate plants, under control. [color=696969][b]Spells: [/b][/color] [color=BC8F8F][i]Pause[/i] - Stops time in the space between one heartbeat and the next. This only affects a 15 meter radius around her, and the bubble of paused space moves as she does with her at the center at all times. She herself is also 'paused' while this spell is in effect; her heart doesn't beat and she has no need to breathe, and she cannot bleed while pause is in effect, but if she is wounded while in pause the wound will begin to affect her as soon as the spell is dropped. Gravity still works and inanimate moving objects from outside the bubble are unaffected if they are entering it, however all things that were in the bubble to start with are frozen until she moves away from them or drops the spell. The spell lasts until it is dropped or until Alexis runs out of energy.[/color] [color=D2B48C][i]Light's Blessing[/i] - Uses any nearby or ambient light (within a radius of 30 meters of her) to energize a person, causing any wounds to heal either immediately for more minor wounds, or up to 500% faster for major wounds, for so long as the spell is in effect. The spell lasts until Alexis runs out of focused light energy. She cannot cure poisons, or do anything to revive the dead, as energizing someone only accelerates their bodies' natural healing process.[/color] [color=696969][b]Abilities/Powers: [/b][/color][list] [*] Bright Light Resistance [*] Soul Detection [*] Psychic Detection [*] Mental Communication [*] Mind Reading [*] Astral Projection [*] Telekinesis [*] Force Field [*] Plant Manipulation [*] Plant Energy Absorption [*] *Natural Glow (Not very bright, but noticeable in dim light. In total darkness she can clearly light about a half foot radius around her.) [*] *Light as a Feather (Gravity doesn't weigh on her as heavily. She's not very physically strong or dense, she floats in water even when weighted down by her clothes and armor, though with them on she seems more like a normal person. She can't do anything like jump higher than other people- that would require more strength than she has.) [*] *Speedy (due to being as light as she is, she can move rather quickly, and naturally does everything just a little faster than everyone else.) [*] Needs to absorb sunlight for at least two hours a day in order to have a normal amount of energy [*] [u]Physically[/u] weaker than most other blood types (She does not have claws or wings or protective scales. She is soft and fragile and she also doesn't have much physical strength- but her endurance is very high. She is also more susceptible to poison/illness than other Bloods are.) [/list] [color=696969][b]Weapons: [/b][/color] The bow pictured in her outfit above, and a dagger she keeps hidden on her person at all times. [color=696969][b]History: [/b][/color] Alexis was the eldest child in her family, who lived on the edge of the forests outside the capitol of the Vrondi territory. She would go into the city almost every day to study and learn what she could about healing, ascension, and magic. She's learned a few spells, but can only use two of them to any real ability right now. She's been diligent in her practice and training since she was 20 years old, when she decided that she wanted to use her life to help as many others as she could. She had a few friends who shared her thirst for knowledge and her desire to do good in the world, and about 3 years ago they all decided to travel the land together in order to better train their abilities. As of a little less than a year ago now, she is the only survivor of that group. The others, all her friends, have died in one way or another, leaving her alone. Still, she focuses on her goals while holding them in her memories. Despite the horrors she has seen in the world and the tragedies she's faced, Alexis continues on. She's still young, especially when compared to any other Descended she knows. She takes the world in stride and hopes to one day ascend herself. [color=696969][b]Trivia: [/b][/color] Likes: Talking to people, expressive colors (her favorite is red), long walks in the sunlight, and trying new things. Dislikes: Complete darkness, humid air, people who openly show that they have no care for others at all, and underground places. Fears: Small enclosed spaces, ghosts (real or fake), and uncontrolled flames. Deepest Desire: To stay up all night, just watching the night sky until dawn. One peaceful night. [hider= Her Dagger] Made for her by a friend who died shortly after. It's nothing special, except for the sentimental value it has to her. She doesn't like to speak about it or the person who gave it to her. She only uses it in emergencies, as she prefers to use her bow when possible.

Some call him misunderstood, or even shy, but really he's just careful. He's sociable and easy to get along with, but hard to read and even harder to understand entirely. He does not trust easily, if at all, and once you've gotten onto his shit list, you're [u]never[/u] going to get off. He is humble in terms of how he sees himself, truly believing that he's not worthy of any praise he gets for his feats, though when it comes to others he is a very accurate judge of character. If he trusts you, you can know you've earned his loyalty as well as his friendship, if that's what you wish. In casual conversation, he likes to tell jokes and do other things to try and keep the mood light; a habit gained from spending time with his sister, as he'd always prefer to see her with a smile on her face. When he's alone, he will hum or sing to himself, and probably try to practice a few spells or techniques in any free time he has. He has a very slow temper, and an almost childlike energy about him at all times. He can't seem to sit still for very long, always wanting to do something or move around at least. He may mumble things to himself from time to time, carrying out imagined conversations to help him think. [color=CornflowerBlue][b]Faction: [/b][/color] Magoi [color=CornflowerBlue][b]Pet: [/b][/color] [hider= Ryukek] Ryukek is an old sea-dragon, which used to be feral before Adrian charmed her with a song sometime in his youth and now she is fairly docile most of the time. She is Nilamar's mother, and a loyal "pet" to the Prince. She cannot fly, being a Sea dragon as she is, but she can go on land for a while so long as she returns to the water within a day so she can breathe more easily. (She can breathe air, but it is not preferable to her.) Nilamar is her son. Ryukek will wander throughout the day, but never goes too far from Adrian so that he couldn't find her if he wanted to. She will stay behind at home if he must go on land for any amount of time longer than a day. Water/Ice and Heat (Breath attack of Ice or Boiling Water/Steam). [img]http://orig15.deviantart.net/cbc9/f/2011/345/5/9/water_dragon_by_silasagnostos-d4ivbjy.png[/img] [/hider][hider= Nilamar] Nilamar is only half sea-dragon, his mother being Ryukek and his father some unknown (and likely feral) land dragon. He has known Adrian since his hatching nearly 6 years ago, and shows an intelligence that causes Adrian to consider him a friend rather than a pet. Nilamar is able to fly, and can swim fairly well also. He can breathe both air and water without any apparent difficulty. Nilamar sticks close to Adrian most of the time, wherever he goes. Water/Ice and Lightning (Breath attack of Lightning or Ice). (Nilamar is fairly weak considering he's barely 6 years old. He doesn't fight much unless he has to.) [img]http://stihi.ru/pics/2013/04/24/2698.jpg[/img] [/hider] [color=CornflowerBlue][b]Exp: [/b][/color] He spends most of his time training his spells and soul mastery, in order to use his natural abilities to their full worth. He's not the most mathematically or technologically minded, but he is a skilled tactician and diplomat, and his magical ability is still improving day by day. He passed the trial of breathing when he was 15, and has no trouble transitioning between water and air breathing at all anymore- due to constant practice with it, and out of necessity. He prefers to use a sword if he must fight above water, and spears when under the waves. [color=CornflowerBlue][b]Spells: [/b][/color] [color=6ecff6][i]Ice make ___[/i] - Adrian can make various things out of ice, such as the spears he summons in battle or a barrier of ice. (Complete list: spears, wall/barrier, floor (an Ice slick), spikes/hail, and snow.)[/color] [color=fff79a][i]Summon Lightning[/i] - Summons a bolt of lighting that Adrian can shoot at people. Underwater use not recommended.[/color] [color=0072bc][i]Whirlwind/Whirlpool[/i] - This spell creates a vortex around Adrian, swirling air or water around him and sucking thing up into the movement with the force of the spinning.[/color] [color=a2d39c][i]Soul Bind[/i] - Adrian can cast this spell on any living soul, binding them to where they are and immobilizing them completely. A green aura can be seen around the target once they are bound. It only lasts about 30 seconds, or until the person who is bound is hit by another attack. Only one person can be bound at a time. [/color] [color=f49ac2][i]Charming[/i] - He can charm wild animals that would otherwise be hostile, making them his allies for a time until the charm wears off. The charm is cast by singing to the creature. The charm can be made permanent if the creature willingly continues to follow him after it would normally have worn off. (This is what happened with Ryukek. Nilamar has never been charmed, he just likes Adrian already.)[/color] [color=CornflowerBlue][b]Abilities/Powers: [/b][/color][list] [*] Gravity Manipulation [*] Liquid Manipulation [*] Water Conjuration [*] Water Manipulation [*] Water Sensing [*] Electricity Absorption [*] Gills [*] Underwater Detection [*] Water Walking [*] Water Healing [*] Resistance to Electricity [*] He can breathe both Water and Air. [*] He is very easily dried out if not wet, and the longer he is left without water he will become dehydrated and his scales will grow weak and begin to flake. [*] He is more susceptible to heat when dry. [*] Webbed feet and hands can make movement on land difficult.[/list] [color=CornflowerBlue][b]Weapons: [/b][/color] Sword and Spears. He has a sword of his own, and can craft as many ice spears as he may need at a time. [color=CornflowerBlue][b]History: [/b][/color] When Adrian was born, his sister Tydra was already Queen. He grew up hearing the stories about how it happened: the previous Queen's death, and then how his sisters Thala and Tydra were tried together in the rush to name a new Queen. Thala died in the final part of the trial, and Tydra was left to be named Queen... Ever since Adrian was only seven years old, he understood that his sister preferred to be alone most of the time, always so closed off to others as she frequently went on journeys to explore the ocean's depths. He assumed her attitudes and hobby were because her life was most likely constantly in danger because of her title, and so he began to worry and fear for her as well. It wasn't very long after then that he decided he would be helpful to her, or at least that he would try to be. He learned about magic that interested him, and devoted himself to mastering his own soul's powers as well. He learned diplomacy and, as much as he hated it, forced himself to learn to fight as well. Adrian would be the best ally his sister could have, and hopefully they could be friends as well. When Adrian was 9 years old, he met Ryukek while out of the city on an exploration of his own. He'd slipped away from his guards and anyone else tasked with watching him, swimming around alone in a coral reef not too far from the city. At first, he thought Ryukek was playing with him, not trying to have him for dinner. Adrian sang to her as they "played", and slowly Ryukek stopped wanting to play with him, instead just following him around until he eventually went home. He had no idea that he'd charmed her until his magic teacher told him that he must have unknowingly cast the spell on her when he sang. Ryukek has never really left him since that day. When Adrian was 18 Ryukek had a son, who she let Adrian decided to name. This is Nilamar. [color=CornflowerBlue][b]Trivia: [/b][/color] Likes: His favorite color is yellow, he enjoys the rain and storms most when above water, and his favorite time of day is midnight no matter where he is. Dislikes: The concept of Karma (or any uncontrollable power that apparently influences things in the world), Alcohol, and Drugs of any sort (including medicines- which he will refuse to take). Fears: He fears for his sister's life, and her general safety as Queen... His personal phobia however is of Spiders and other such creepy insects. There aren't any stupid bugs like that underwater. Deepest Desire: Time travel, for many reasons. [hider= Trial of Breathing] [h3][b][color=6495ed]Adrian Nept[/color] - 15 years old[/b] [sup][i]9 years before the start of IC[/i][/sup][/h3] Adrian swam to his place in line, at least 20 other people standing alongside him as they all waited for the signal to go. The trial was going to be easy, as far as he knew. All he had to do was catch a fish. The fish were nicknamed Airfish by those that lived in the capitol, because of their role in the Trial. They were a bloated type of fish, kind of like a pufferfish, but without all the spikes or poisonous blood. Airfish live in the water currents, and only pass through the capital three times a year by these currents. The goal of the trial was to catch one as they swim by, without getting pulled away by the current yourself. The stream of the current leads to a tunnel, where the pressure built up within would likely kill anyone unlucky enough to get trapped inside. No one has ever returned from the tunnel's depths, so it's impossible to know for sure. Well, almost no one. Adrian glanced behind himself to see his older sister, Queen Tydra, watching him. If he got into trouble, she'd pull him out of it.... though he hoped it wouldn't have to come to that. He could do this. He was confident in himself, and he wasn't going to let himself get anywhere [i]near[/i] the entrance to the tunnel. If it got too dangerous for him, he could always back out and try again in a few months, when the next school of Airfish would come through. As he turned his attention back to the stream of the current in front of him, the overseers called for everyone to get ready. The fish were here, Adrian could see their dark shapes moving quickly past him just before the woman to his left jumped into the stream. She was whisked out of sight, and soon everyone else was doing the same thing. He took a breath before throwing himself into the current as well. It was hard to move around, unless you were going with the water. There were people trying to fight the current, swimming against it in vain as they realised just how difficult this was going to be. The school of Airfish was scattered as they wove their way around the people thrashing about in their stream. One swam right in front of Adrian, but when he tried to catch it the fish just slipped out of his grasp. He could feel the power of the current pushing him along, and decided not to fight it yet. It would only tire him out more quickly. Besides, he could use this to help him for now, as they were still a long way away from the tunnel. He swam through the current to one side of the stream, and waited for the next fish to try and pass him. He kicked out -going with the current- and got in front of the fish, attempting to hug it in order to capture the creature. He almost had it, but then it slipped free when another person crashed into him, trying to get out of the current. The man apologized before disappearing, slipping out of the stream while Adrian looked for another fish. He swam up to the top of the current's stream, and this time when he got in front of the fish he caught it, finally. He held it by the fins for a second before he remembered that to pass the trial he had to kiss it, sucking the air from it. He closed his eyes as he did, the strange feeling of air entering his lungs and bubbles being released from his gills making him forget how to breathe water for a moment. When the moment passed and he'd released the fish, he still couldn't remember. He began to panic, his hands going to his neck and fingers running over his gills as they lay flat, closed to the water around him. There was no air here, he [i]had[/i] to breathe. He was going to pass out if he couldn't figure out how to switch back to using his gills. It was strange how he suddenly couldn't do something that had been so easy, automatic for his entire life. He never had to think about breathing before. He passed out. Afterwards, his sister would tell him what happened. Tydra had needed to come get him out of the current after he caught the Airfish, so he wouldn't keep drifting and be swept into the tunnel. He'd done well on completing the trial before getting too close to the tunnel, but he still should have left the current before kissing the Airfish. Tydra made sure to tell him that about a hundred times. He couldn't have known he'd react like that, but still he felt bad for making Tydra have to come save him.

She is energetic and playful, caring and empathetic towards others, and loves to spend time outdoors exploring or inside reading a new book. She will talk to anyone who's friendly enough to chat, though she may not trust so easily. Aemilius likes to compare her to a bird: always ready to take flight. [color=a2d39c][b]Faction: [/b][/color] None [color=a2d39c][b]Pet: [/b][/color] If you asked her she'd say Aemilius, but not really. :rollin She gets along well with the little draconic creatures she's met, but none of them stick around for very long. Neither she nor Aemilius have any real desire to keep a pet. [color=a2d39c][b]Exp: [/b][/color] In terms of school subjects: Aemilius taught her to read and write, and has started trying to teach her more complex things like maths and magic, but so far Pia seems to be a bookworm determined to read all she can, and avoids doing that which she finds difficult (magic) or that which she simply dislikes (math). From books she's read she has various knowledge of the world around her, such as geography and facts about the plants and animals of different areas she's read about, or the histories of any of these areas as well. Aemilius doesn't like talking about the past with her, but does encourage her curiosity and supplies her with whatever books he's can on subjects she asks about. Aemilius' lair may not be a great library, but his book collection is fair. In terms of magical ability and use of powers: Aside from the two spells Aemilius has managed to teach her, Pia has had trouble keeping her soul's power under control. She can use each of her abilities granted to her by her blood, but the skill and consistency of which she uses them is highly erratic. The only one she has entirely under control is her night vision, which is passive in the first place. In terms of fighting ability: Considering the fact that Pia is a little girl, she's not going to do very well in a fight. Not to mention that Aemilius doesn't want to train her in any weapons (more due to the fact that he's a pacifist than anything) but also because he wouldn't know how to train her either. He himself only ever learned unarmed defensive techniques, and that was in his Dragon form. Pia carries a small sword but doesn't know how to use it past "swish swish stab". [color=a2d39c][b]Spells: [/b][/color] [color=696969][i]Rex Chronos[/i] - This spell's name means "King of Time" -which fits what it does quite well. Pia can alter time around herself in a very specific way: She can make herself appear however old she wishes, by aging and de-aging herself along her current timeline. The effect only lasts for a day at most, and she needs a day of rest before she can do it again. Returning to her normal age is not a part of the spell and takes no energy to do- she will automatically revert to normal if she falls unconscious or dies while the spell was in effect. The "current timeline" part is what trips most people up when she tries to explain it. Choices she makes and events that happen will affect her current and older self in different ways; For example if she were to be cut right now, and then age herself up a few years, she would have a scar where the cut was [u]because that aged-up version's timeline is a direct continuation of her current self[/u]; but if she'd aged herself up a few minutes ago she wouldn't have a scar [u]because the cut didn't happen in [i]that[/i] aged-up version's timeline[/u]. If she were to age up before the cut happened and then age down to her true age, the cut wouldn't be there anymore and wouldn't show up later either [u]because she's not in the same timeline as the aged-up version of herself that got cut[/u]. The age-down part is less confusing, because timelines are more solid in that direction. If Pia was cut and aged down, the cut would vanish until she returned to her true age, when it would then re-appear [u]because it happened in her timeline before the point she's returning to[/u]. If Pia was aged down and got cut before returning to her true age, there would be a scar where the cut was because [u]Pia's past is always a part of her current timeline[/u]. If Pia is killed, she automatically reverts to her true age, and the death is irreversible no matter if she was aged up or down from her true age when the killing blow was dealt.[/color] [color=000000][i]Majestatis[/i] - This spell's name means "Majesty" -which has nothing to do with what it does. It is a spell that sets things on fire randomly (Because Pia can't control it all that well yet). Pia has even set herself ablaze with it before. Luckily, they are normal flames that can be put out with water or controlled by anyone with the ability to control flames.[/color] [color=a2d39c][b]Abilities/Powers: [/b][/color][list] [*] Thermal energy manipulation & Conjuration [*] Fire manipulation [*] Adrenaline boost [*] Heat detection [*] Fire breath [*] Heat resistance [*] Hot blood [*] Night vision [*] She's cold blooded and requires warmth - extreme cold is her bane. Cold damages her stamina and could potentially lock up her muscles. Eventually, after long exposure the cold will force her to sleep. [*] Her body can turn hot and overheat quickly - too much activity can cause her to go into a paralyses from exertion.[/list] [color=a2d39c][b]Weapons: [/b][/color] An old sword given to her by Aemilius, the [i]Mírage Blade[/i] which used to belong to him before the Dragon wars. It changes shape depending on the person who wields it, becoming a mirror of their personality. Otherwise it's just another, normal sword. [b]Swish swish stab![/b] [color=a2d39c][b]History: [/b][/color] [hider= Aemilius Kimball] [color=ffaaaa][sub]Aemilius is Pia's adoptive father. He's an NPC, but plays an important role in Pia's life and story. His history is a part of hers.[/sub][/color] Aemilius is ancient, older than pretty much every other dragon we've met so far. As a Dragon God he represented Family and Faithfulness, but once the Dragon war broke out he left the world to its own devices- preferring not to pick a side due to his pacifist nature. He went into the mountains of northern Gaia and has remained there ever since. He didn't avoid people or panic when anyone came to find him: he likes visitors. In fact, there was a town in his territory where the people from there come to visit him regularly. They talked to him about the past, debated with him over all sorts of things, asked his opinion for help making decisions, and generally just spent time with him. He's not sure why this town never just forgot about him, but he didn't exactly mind that they hadn't. One day though, about 7 years ago, the people stopped visiting him for a time. For a month, his life was quiet, and he soon realized that he was getting lonely. He normally didn't go to the town himself, but after so long without a peep from them he began to worry. The town was empty when he got there. No one remained- at least, no one living did. Even the livestock had all been killed. The town looked as if everyone had just dropped what they were doing and went out into the street. There were no bodies in the homes, only out in the fields and road, but there were meals on tables and fireplaces ready to be lit as Aemilius investigated. On the third day after his discovery of the slaughter, he realized another strange thing: Only the men and women of the village were there. There wasn't a single child's body anywhere to be seen. It didn't register for him at first because he never had any children come visit him, but in a village like this there should have been a few at least, right? He later found some tracks at the far edge of town that led into the forest: a small hoard of tiny people (children, he now realized) being led by two pairs of adult footprints. He followed the trail as far as he could, until it faded away on the rocky soil, and started trying to track them by scent from there. Not too much later, he met Pia. There were no other people nearby, not even the scent of anyone else was left anymore. Pia was alone, standing on a fallen tree until she saw him and fell off in shock. He had forgotten before he approached that he might be frightening to children like her. She was okay, and stood back up a moment later to peer at him from over the side of the tree. Intent on not scaring her again, Aemilius lay down on the ground where he was, far enough away from her that hopefully she wouldn't be uncomfortable as he watched her. Her curiosity seemed to win out over any fear she may have had though, because a few seconds later she was walking up to him. She was very young, and when he asked her what her name was, she didn't say anything. Later, she'd tell him that it was "sweetheart", but that was just what her parents had called her so often that she didn't know her own name. Aemilius transformed into his humanoid form and got her to follow him back to the village, until he realised that with no one else there except for bodies, that would be a very bad place for the child. So, instead he took her up the mountain to his lair, and from that point on he's been caring for her as if she was his own child. He named her Pia Jay Sindile, but calls her "Piaget" (pronounced pia-jay) as a nickname. Sindile means "Survivor", and Piaget means "Little One".[/hider] Pia has lived with Aemilius for almost as long as she can remember. Her only clear memory from before she met the Dragon: The night [u]they[/u] stole her and the other children away. A man wearing a black, hooded robe and a woman with piercing blue eyes that looked like they glowed in the moonlight. They came to her house and took her while she and her parents were asleep, and did the same with all the other kids in town. They'd never see their village again. Most of the others were older than her; she remembered being afraid to talk to them because of that. The man and the woman led them into the forest, and away away away from town. They made all the children stand in a circle, and then everything went white. When Pia woke up it was daytime again, and she was all alone in the forest, laying on top of a fallen tree. She's never told Aemilius about this. She's not sure how long before he found her it all happened. [color=a2d39c][b]Trivia: [/b][/color] Likes: The color purple, like the sky at twilight. Birds.

Outside of the home however, he’s become a target for a band of local kids who consider “people like him” (those with Seraphim blood) to be inferior and a waste of space, and whose bullying have pretty much ruined his self-esteem. So, Kyle doesn’t leave home much. Seven is the only one who knew about this group, that’s why he never messed with Kyle. When Alexis left for her adventures, Kyle was 10. About a year ago, on Kyle’s twelfth birthday, this group of bullies came to visit him and invited him out into the city to “hang out” with them. Kyle tried to get out of it, but Seven wasn’t home to tell the group to fuck off, and his mother, Kim, didn’t know that these were the kids that hated him. Kim sent them on their way, and Kyle went missing for a week. When he came back home, he was badly hurt. The kids had cut off one of his wings, and almost got the other one too before Kyle could get away. He didn’t know where in the city he was, and would have died if a member of Taxis hadn’t helped him. Alexis doesn’t know about this yet.

The first thing you need to look for is any odd movements from her tail. A quick flicker towards either direction, a notable thumping sound against the ground, or even the limb slowly curling around her body. Another quirk (that’s a bit more noticeable) is the girl’s eyes. The young woman’s eyes tend to shiver a dark green when she feels like something is wrong. Granted that this could also show certain emotions such as being upset or angry, depending on how dark the shade is.[list] [*] The young woman rather enjoys having her brother and sister around her, though at times this has proven to be difficult. Between the insanity clawing inside her own mind and their ‘protectors’ constant overprotective nature she’s honestly surprised they’ve made it away from their past. When the three are apart the girl’s madness slowly breaks it’s mental seal, making her personality shift from normal teenager to psychotic killer. [*] Every single fight the three have tends to break a little chunk of that fragile mental barrier. [*] Despite the fact the woman loves spilling blood she does tend to enjoy the simplest of thing. Whether it’s being in a field of flowers, taking a stroll inside the woods, or just climbing a tree. Yes, this might seem to be very childish to most people but then again no one quite understands what fresh hell the triplets were forced into the day their home village was destroyed. If asked about that day Prometheus tends to resort to violence. [*] No matter how hard the young woman tries to control that lust for spilling blood, the dangerous side always seems to destroy it’s cage. When this happens it's best to run unless you have one of her siblings around. [*] Prometheus has a bad habit of mentally making couples in her head. No one is quite sure why though her brother thinks it’s because it helps her calm down. As long as the girl doesn't allow her mental side to go too wild her triplet siblings see no harm in it. [*] The teenager tends to be a bit overwhelming when it comes to pushing people's boundaries. Every time the targeted couple sorta drifts apart the young woman tends to try every trick or stunt within her book to try to keep them together. Yes, even the whole tying them down trick. [/list] [color=BLUEVIOLET][b]Faction: [/b][/color] Dolofon (hopeful) [color=BLUEVIOLET][b]Exp: [/b][/color] Prometheus, Rhagar, and Minko were taught by their parents until their deaths. Afterwards they were self taught. Prometheus and Minko were taught how to turn and twist the shadows around their bodies by simple movement. A simple flicker of a wrist could make a simple object granted the image would be rather tiny. They mother also taught them to use their blindness to their their advantage such as their father’s wings flapping in the wind, their oldest sibling’s voice calling out in a whisper, to even the simplest drop of water. Yes, in most cases these are what any blind person is able to do but their mother did this as more of mental training. This would allow them to estimate how long they had until the shadow of the specific object would last. Their father would then help them imagine how big the shape was by description. The couple was going to teach their children much more until their untimely deaths. As for the self taught part the young woman has taught herself how to form these shadows into actual objects. This would allow her to add sound into her arsenal of ticks. With the help of Rhagar, the micro string thin thread allows the spell knives to make a very quiet chime like sound while adding small vibration into the air. Allowing the woman to echolocate her ‘prey’. For the Shadow Puppet spell the girl has practiced this one most of the time. Granted mostly it’s been mainly used to silence his loud snoring which always seem to keep both girls up at night. Now the woman justs uses it to make the guy plug his nose with random object. [color=BLUEVIOLET][b]Spells: [/b][/color] Shadow Shards- This spell can only copy x amount of weapons. This mainly depends on the size and weight of the object.( For example: At the most throwing knives Prometheus can create is about 10 or 12 depending on how much they weight. Once the spell is completed She will have gained the perfect replicas. For a much larger weapon such as an ax the young could possibly make one. ) Since the young woman is still learning about her blood and is self teaching herself, the max amount she can make is about 3 or 4, on of those being the original. The copies will act like actual weapons but after about two hits, if not broken from the first throw, will break apart and turn into a black dust like substance. This will also return to it’s original form after battle. Since Prometheus can’t see she mainly uses this spell for echolocation. Shadow Puppet- Shadow strings wrap around the target’s limbs, attaching themselves to the nervous system, forcing them to do what the user wants. This is a rather powerful spell though the maximum amount of time is 1 hour when mastered fully. This also requires full concentration from the caster making them wde open for any physical or spell damage will will automatically force the user to lose contraction. Though since the young woman is still in training stages her shadow puppet spell only last about 1 minute max. The strings can only from different object’s shadows. For example one shadow sting will come from something like. Another would come from a tree to connect to a different limb and so on. The max amount as an adult is 20 feet depending on the user’s handle on this spell. The other factors while tie into this spell would also be on the power of the others soul and your power, the time of the day, and distance. At the moment Prometheus can only go about two feet depending on the time from of the day.

These are just a few of the things the descendant had seen as her small body pushed past it’s limit. She was only forced to hide when figures passed by since the other ones were busy enjoying their activities. Even though the girl was close to these people, which her parents proudly took in and protected, was the single cause for her insanity. The girl’s search lead her towards the town center were a crowd gathered, as if this was a normal occurrence. A few cheers here and there made the younger sibling shiver in fear. Even though she felt a sickening feeling in the pit of stomach the young woman carried forward, only to regret it almost instantly. The first thing that had caught the descendant’s eyes was her parents tied up forms. A two figures stood up with them though one seemed to be doing a speech. A few more words to the crowd in, as if to count down the couple’s doom. A final word and the hidden axe blade swooped down. As if on instinct the young girl rushed towards the stage as if in a sad attempt to save the two which had given her life. Only when the familiar crimson coloring few into the air did the child felt pain. Even with her eyesight fading rather quickly she still tried to move tolds the couple. And then darkness consumed her entire world. When Prometheus awakened the remainder of her family was on the run. At some point during their haste the triplets ended up losing each other. In the hopes to find each other they all knew that going to the capital Vrondi.

The same lime green coloring to their irises, raven black hair that gives off a purple look in the sunlight, the same black coloring to their scales, as well as the glowing feature of when their insanity breaks their mental cage. There are some differences between them though. The young man takes more after their father in the dragon look and the girls look just like their mother. His as about medium in size though despite this fact they’re still able to be used to harm the enemy’s hand.

Unlike his sisters insanity his revolves around the bedroom. Yes, he's a rather rough lover who shows a jealous side when someone tries to take them away. Which the person tells about past experiences there will be two reactions depending on what they sound like. For the good ones PCs would get a scuffling sound much like he would do when annoyed. Second would be a serious and rather frightening silent young man. [list] [*] The young man loves both his sisters though both tend to get rather violent in nature. For Minko she seems more like a psychopath out for blood. For Prometheus she’s more like a predator looking for the perfect kill. Thankfully there is a single phrase which help them snap out of their insane stated. This is a phrase that seems to help snap them out it. Phase: "Don't you wish we can go back to those days sisters? Back before everything happened?" [*] The young man is very tedious when it comes to choosing a permanent partner. Yes, most of the things he does is rather extreme or lustful. Granted in his mind it’s more of learning his lover's pleasure points or their buttons. This is also the guy’s way of learning their reactions and such. Even if this is for study it never fails to to bring him a subtle pleasure. [*] The young man loves his siblings to death. But between Minko’s possessive nature. This is one of many things which that drives Rhagar nuts. In a way this is a good thing though when it’s Minko trying to keep Prometheus safe while fighting tends to make things much much harder for them. Due to the fact of the youngest tend to have that I do things my way only attitude. [*] Rhagar is very possessive over his chosen lovers which some would say it would be due to his insanity. Though some of this is due to the young man not wanting to be abandoned without a solid reason. If this were to happen than you would see a different side of the young man. A much serious and darker side. [/list] [color=66CC66][b]Faction: [/b][/color] Dolofon (hopeful) [color=66CC66][b]Exp: [/b][/color] Prometheus, Rhagar, and Minko were taught by their parents until their deaths. Afterwards they were self taught. Rhagara was taught how to do ice illusions from his father which was about the only time they saw each other. The young man was taught how to use his claws and other certain thing that dragons knew. This make the guy feel like the family protector though it was the young man’s mother who taught him all the weak points in his race. Her swift movements and skilled attacks tend to leave some bruises on his small frame. Even though the woman showed these though a rather rough way he still loved her. AS the days passed the man noticed that their lessons were beginning to get a bit more dangerous as well as longer. The lessons become much more fighting oriented than spells just before the couple’s death. As for the self taught part the young man had taught himself have to make a fighting grid for those with Nayu blood. Though the only ones that would really use it would be the twins. Despite this fact the descended is still attempting to improve this for the Nayu people. In a way Rhagar is hoping to make these illusions into a real thing, even if momentarily. This would allow the sounds to be a bit louder, granted this would bring in some newer problems all of it’s own. Such is the life of an illusionist. [color=66CC66][b]Spells: [/b][/color] Ice Wave- This spell makes an illusion of ice spike in different areas. The enemy will be able to walk through without any short of damage. Though if one looked really closely than you would be able to notice the different colorization of the flooring and spikes. Silver Threads: This is mainly to help his sister in battle. Imagine this, the young woman places down her Shadow Shard, as if she’s trying to locate the enemy. A thin like thread of ices connecting each of the shards together to form a pentagon. This would be her max area to attack. Now let’s zoom in closer. The pentagon would be turned into triangles making the max area smaller. Let’s zoom in once more. If one looks closely they would noticed what looks to be a spider’s web in each triangle. Each making a sound which one the user and the person the user allows to hear. The enemy won’t be able to see the actual thread until they have triggered it completely. Mainly due to the icy blue shimmer of the thread. The shimmer telling the seeing allies where exactly the blind Nayu is aiming at.

When the attack happened all of these memories were destroyed completely. Every house burned with a hidden desire to wipe any evidence of people living there. Every villager was dragged out to the streets to their own unfortunate fates that the killers had planned. Some met a rather easy and swift end while others were forced to endure a much horrible fate. Even though this was happening all round him the descended still continued forward with one goal in his mind. Find the people the that was most important and get the hell out. The one thing the young man never expected to see was his little sister face down on the ground, crimson coloring all around her still form, and his parents limp body on the ground. On instinct the oldest rushed to pick up his sibling, attempting to quickly scan the slaughter ground for the other, before being greeted by the youngest child. Despite the argument the had about Minko staying to keep the killers at bay the guy knew one single thing. They all needed to get out alive together. So after being sent away the child ran carrying his bleeding sibling away. Once Prometheus was safe Rhagar ran to save his other sibling. Aft this was mostly a blur though there are some flashbacks of his life after this happened.

Pale white skin without a single blemish or scar, her eyes almost seeming like they were painted on her face. Her inky black hair surrounds her sharp face, going all the way down to her slim waist. Her doll like appearance proves that everything shouldn't be judged by first glances. Her scales are in a shape of a diamond that is on her left hip extending towards the middle of her back.

Whenever she would be in a bad mood or sulking about not having quote/unquote “Last laugh” on a mission, her brother and sister would always give her a slice of her favorite cake, pie or a piece of candy they would have hidden away. [*] Besides her love for sweets, nothing could take the place of her siblings. She would go to the moon in back if it means to protect her precious siblings. There was a handful of times where she literally took stabs in the back to protect the two from oncoming attacks. She lost count of how many times she nearly lost her life, but every time she was asked if she regretted it, her answer would always be “No, I cannot regret these injuries. These injuries prove to anyone I will do anything to ensure their safety” [*] Minko can be stubborn in a lot of cases, like refusing to let her siblings to help her escape the village. She even went to tranquilizing her sister Prometheus kissing her goodbye and saying that she loved her before putting her in a transporting vehicle that take her to the capital [*] She can be calm until she is pushed to an extend where she is yelling, but that is rare unless you are her brother and does and says anything that gets her yelling and pissed off. [*] She can be loving and affectionate to people she knows and cares for, being lovers or her siblings [her parents, she feels indifferent too because she felt invisible to them [/list] [color=663399][b]Faction: [/b][/color] Dolofon (hopeful) [color=663399][b]Exp: [/b][/color] Before the age of six, she was mostly taught and trained by her parents, but after... everything, she decided to train herself in many forms of fighting. She became an assassin because of her training. She read books in braille and taught herself the “Silent Image” spell and completely mastered it while she was separated from her siblings. She was able to imagine what things looked like from their descriptions in the books, and thus can create the images with the spell. In a life where the blind sees nothing but darkness with few shadows here and there appearing, Minko used her blindness plus some parts of what her “Silent image” spell can do to learn her second spell “Darkness” where she forms whatever shapes she sees in the rare shadows that has appeared in her life. [color=663399][b]Spells: [/b][/color] Silent Image- This spell allows Minko to create an image of an object, creature or some other invisible phenomenon that is about medium size. It is not accompanied by the other three sensory effects. She can hold this for as long as she needs without burning up any energy. Darkness- She can use her shadow manipulation to summon shadows of darkness and manipulate them to form things that can help her in situations. This spell is still not completely mastered and will burn up energy fast.

She never really talked to her parents after they stopped training her, not that she minded. She always felt she was not as important to them as the other too since she was a surprise birth after all. As ink grew older, she became more engulfed in her work and training. This had unforeseen consequences, Before they were forced to run from their home, her and her brother Rhagar would get into vicious arguments that often caused her to leave home even often than before, which turned into more fights. Though it saddened Minko that her brother was always fighting with her, she wasn't about to repent either. The night of the attack, she and Rhagar was once again fighting when her sister’s insane side nearly injured him when they heard the sounds of angry village people coming towards their home. Minko forced her siblings to leave the house through the backward to a secret trail they only knew about. Minko stayed behind and ended up taking the brunt of the attack only to be saved from her brother who she ran with for a short distance before she realised where her sister was. Going back, she knocked her sister out and sent her away. Minko was nearly hung until she was saved from a masked figure. For a year she didn't see her siblings, recovering from the attack and training her skills more, she finally decided to leave the couple who cared for her in search of her two siblings, promising to visit twice a year.
