And considering my job at the military base, her name is one that I brush with frequently. I've even worked with her a few times on some of the more boring work related to our fields, like paperwork. While not impossible to work with, I can see that she is very strict with how things are run and likes to have it her way. And really... I'm going to let her. ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ [h3]☯ [b]Miranda Burke[/b] ☯[/h3] [i]“She knows [i]exactly[/i] what she's doing.”[/i] [center][img]https://68.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4p2zjSkFm1r9ol4o.gif[/img][/center] Miranda is one of the pizza makers at my favorite restaurant and sometimes brings me my order.

He's friendly, funny, can hold a conversation and does a damn good job at what he does. I love just talking to the guy and hearing what he has to say. It's always a bit fun to poke at him a bit when he's had too much to drink the night before and comes to work a bit hungover. He's a great guy.

He's just one of those guys that everyone seems to know. He's got a good heart and works way too much. He's getting older and I can see in just his face that his job is wearing him pretty thin. He's gotta find himself a girl and just slow down before something serious happens. I know he's got a kid, though I've never met her. I hope she at least looks out for him. ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ [h3]♦ [b]?[/b] ♦[/h3] [i]“?.”[/i] ?. ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ [/hider] [img]http://wwwimage.cbsstatic.com/thumbnails/photos/files/asset/10/00/61/93/3275a10cfc697d0e_bb_mark_face.gif[/img] [hr][hr] [h1]Personal Information[/h1] [hr][hr] [b]Personality:[/b] ♦ Intimately Guarded ♦ Loyal ♦ Genuine ♦ Smart/Tactical ♦ Caring ♦ Generous ♦ Hot-Headed ♦ Caleb was bullied in school and therefore grew up with a detestation for bullies in general - whether it be some guy trying to pick a fight at a bar or foreigners targeting America. He has a deep-rooted loyalty to his country to the point where he swore an oath in basic training to fight and defend his country even if he should die in the process. Though he's much more of a mechanic than a front lineman, Caleb is unafraid to use his tactical and physical knowledge learned in order to defend himself or others. The death of his parents gave Caleb the state of mind that giving back in whatever way he possibly can is absolutely important. He has an extremely soft side for someone so big and brute-looking, but he wouldn't hesitate for a second to give a little girl the shirt off of his back should she be cold, wet, lost, or just needing comfort. He's incredibly generous with his military money and donates to charities on a monthly basis - his favorite being Toys for Tots to ensure that every kid, even homeless and in foster homes, get something for Christmas. It is a common sight to see him working at a soup kitchen for the holidays, as he does not have a family of his own to be with during them. Caleb is the kind of person that wants to earn people's trust and keep it, though it is hard for him to give back the same. But once he opens up that incredibly vulnerable part of his personality, he feels like he just can't cap it off which makes relationships incredibly difficult - if not impossible. He likes to stay out of any drama as much as he can though if he is forced to choose a side, he tends to fall on a "us versus them" kind of mindset. Even at a distance, Caleb can be seen as fun, smart, sweet and genuine which makes it hard for people to not be able to relate to. He enjoys healthy competition amongst his friends, however sometimes, Caleb is unable to recognize when those "friends" might be using him in one way or another. He has a bit of a temper that is usually misunderstood sometimes with his excitement. He tends to talk louder in both instances and even yells, though he doesn't realize he does so when he is the latter. He usually has a very cool head about things but there are just other things that will get him from cool to boiling within seconds and is not afraid to use his physical stature as a form of intimidation before things get [i]really[/i] serious. [b]Likes:[/b] ✔ Working out/body building. ✔ Serving his country. ✔ Money. ✔ A nice rack. ✔ Dogs. ✔ "Bromances". ✔ Pool and chess. [b]Dislikes:[/b] ✘ Meatballs. ✘ Arrogant assholes. ✘ Terrorists. ✘ Liars, cheaters and manipulators. ✘ Being forced to chose a side. ✘ Navy Seals (they think they know everything!). ✘ How easy it is to get him "excited". [b]Hobbies:[/b] When not working at the base, Caleb is generally working out, playing a game of pool or darts at a bar, or volunteering his time to anyone who might need it. He also enjoys stimulating his mind by playing chess or putting together advanced puzzles. [b]Strengths:[/b] ⚜ Smart- Caleb was trained in the military for five years and has a wide knowledge of combative tactics. He knows the insides and outs of machinery and guns alike, able to repair an entire blown tank engine by himself in just a few short hours given the proper equipment. He also has a spacial knowledge of the world around him, mostly pertaining to different politics from around the world and the goings on as far as the news is concerned. He keeps his mind sharp by mental practices such as playing chess and doing advanced puzzles either by himself of by means of a healthy competition with friends. ⚜ Brave- Caleb enlisted in the military at eighteen years old despite having a promising future in football. He is the kind of guy that simply wants to protect others who need protecting and isn't afraid to throw himself into danger if it means getting hurt. He also isn't afraid to stand up for himself against both the enemy and just petty bullies. In basic training, he was the first to jump on top of what his group believed to be a live grenade in order to save his squad. ⚜ Honest- Caleb has never had to lie, cheat or deceive anyone he has ever met to get where he is now. He has lived a life on honesty and respect. People know that they can count on him to get things done the right way, though it has gotten him into trouble with his senior officers when he is asked to cut certain corners. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] ☠ Hot-Headed- It takes quite a bit to stir things up with Caleb... on most cases. Sometimes, though, he simply can't help but to snap when it comes to defending his own honor. He gets loud but doesn't realize he's shouting and is unable to see reason when pushed too far. ☠ Guarded- Emotionally, it is very hard for Caleb to open up to someone. He wants to become good in other people's graces and works to gain their trust, but is unable to, in most instances, be able to give the same kind of treatment towards a friend. Because of this, it has made it incredibly difficult if not impossible for Caleb to have, hold, and sustain any kind of romantic relationship. He simply has not met anyone he feels he can trust on an emotional, romantic level. ☠ Aloof- Caleb tries to give a "forgive and forget" kind of attitude, even if those he is close to have hurt him but have promised not to do it again. He wants to believe that his own friends wouldn't ever want to take advantage of him, so he chooses not to see it when they do. [b]Brief Biography:[/b] Caleb was born the middle child to an older brother and a younger sister. It was a military family through and through; having to move from one place (and even country at one point) to another. Caleb last his father to an overdose when he was just seven and it wasn't until Caleb was much older did he find out that it was because his father had severe PTSD from his time serving the army. So he, his brother and sister, were instead raised by their mother, who never remarried. They tried to live as normal of a life as they could as a traveling military family, but they finally settled back to Caleb's original roots in Whitefish, Montana by the time he hit high school. Caleb was always picked on as a kid, but coming back to Whitefish, one of his teachers introduced to Caleb weight lifting. Caleb became practically obsessed with the sport - wanting to get bigger, stronger. It was in his junior year where his efforts really started to show themselves physically as he was now the largest boy in school. His other teachers wanted him to join wresting and football and Caleb took on both sports, but loved his time in football. Before he even graduated in his senior year, he was promised a few scholarships to play for a few different college teams - one even being Pac in the 12. Caleb wanted to follow his dream of becoming a professional football star one day, but his older brother, Cody, left a looming shadow over him when he left to join the Navy. He felt an incredible pressure to follow family tradition and instead worked on scholarships for any kind of military position he could. He was only seventeen when his mother then died - killed in combat when she had been shipped overseas for just a few weeks for a short mission. Caleb and his little sister had no choice but to leave Montana and go to live with their Uncle in California, who owned a farm. Caleb then developed animal chores on top of everything else and ended up graduating six months late, however the military took him on immediately knowing just who he belonged to. Caleb loved military school - just as much as he loved weight lifting. And though he didn't think that he would enjoy it at first, as it felt rather forced, he found that he could really put his personality to use as a protector and loyal man and flew through basic training with flying colors. He was then given his choice of a few different career paths and for some reason (Caleb still doesn't even really know why, exactly) he chose to become a mechanical engineer for the Air Guard. He was then enlisted to Oregon in a small city called Klamath Falls where one of the best National Guards on the West coast was located. He hardly keeps in any contact with his brother or sister, as they are both busy doing their own things, and hardly even get together for holidays. Caleb learned very quickly to be okay with that, and has adopted Klamath Falls as his new home.

Some people you can click with, but don't really fit with, you know? I guess that's just how all of my relationships have gone so far. Maybe it's just me? Either way, Alder is fun to work with and he always knows how to make me smile. I was absolutely ready to jump at the chance to move in with him, not because of the- well, you know, but because I was so ready to leave home and be on my own. And the fact that we work together works, you know? Because at least I know he's making money to pay rent so I don't get screwed in the end. Not that he would ever do that - he's never given me any reason to not trust him. He's open, honest and raw - a true teddy bear and a real catch. He's going to make some girl very happy one day. Wait... does he have a girlfriend? I can't really remember... Oh who am I kidding? Alder tells me everything. Which is fine; I tell him everything too. We cry on each other's shoulders a lot and I know a lot of things that he tells me in confidence. He's goofy and smiley on the outside, but on the inside he's hurting. He's hurting bad. And it breaks my heart knowing that there's nothing I can do to help him. Poor guy. ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ [h3]♫ [b]Cassandra Arvanitis[/b] ♫[/h3] [i]“I'd be lost without my little marshmallow.”[/i] [center][img]https://media.giphy.com/media/WNP4FHMEpPhSM/giphy.gif[/img][/center] Cassie is... well Cassie is Cassie. She has moments where I'm proud as hell of her, and other's where I'm just like, "seriously, girl?" She's definitely a daddy's girl, which is cute and I get it. Her dad is super hot anyway, so it's fine. But we're getting older and I don't think she's looked far enough ahead to think about her life without him. I mean, she can't live with him forever. She's sweet, loving, and gives people way too many chances. Which I guess is a good thing considering I might have used a few of those up already. We've been friends since she and her dad moved to Klamath, and despite all the shit I fling her, I really can't imagine my life without her in it. ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ [h3]☮ [b]Cody Treadwell[/b] ☮[/h3] [i]“Why do gay guys always have the best bodies?”[/i] [center][img]https://www.girlfriend.com.au/media/3147/1000-kj-apa.gif[/img][/center] Cody is a friend - well, more a friend of my friends.

Maybe I just like older guys, or something. Maybe it's just the taboo thing. I don't know. I just know that the way he bends over my desk while helping me with my school work, I can smell him and I can't think straight - doomed for the rest of the class.

Officer Flores and I kind of go way back. First because of my brother, James, and all the trouble he used to get into.

God, Cassie is so lucky - she gets to snuggle up to that all the damn time and nggnn... I'm getting side-tracked... I spend a ton of time over at Cassie's house, so whenever he's home he always tries to make a point to spend time with us, which I have absolutely no problems with. I've even gone camping and taken other trips with them a few times and we have an absolute blast. Mr. Arvanitis will be in my heart forever, but I seriously doubt he'd be the type of guy to go for a younger girl. But I can dream... and I do. Very often. Cassie would die if she knew!

I've only met her in person once, and that was when she came to stay with my roommate and me when she came from Australia to visit Alder. I know what's been going on between those two, and I also know that she's in a relationship she has no business being in, really. Sure I get my information from Alder, so it's all pretty one-sided, but he's my dude, and she hurts him a lot. I can't help that I'm protective. I know probably way too much about their little love... shape than I should, but I like it that way. And yes, I'm biased. Don't care, though. She needs to figure out what the hell she wants from Alder before I just go batshit crazy on her, though. Alder would thank me later. Maybe. ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ [h3]☠ [b]Sombra Flores[/b] ☠[/h3] [i]“Damn bitch can go fucking die for all I care.”[/i] [center][img]https://media.giphy.com/media/WpZaOAJL0cdMI/giphy.gif[/img][/center] This bitch just swoops in out of nowhere and up and steals my brother.

To adults, Miranda is a sweet intellectual that is simply misunderstood and really aspires to be the best person she can be. She is an approachable person and is usually seen as kind, open and honest, though she is a girl who usually knows more than what she lets. on. However to those closest to her, they know Miranda to be the kind of person that is willing to get her hands dirty when it comes to getting things done her way and almost always has some kind of dirt on someone that could be used to her own advantage someday. She is a confident and fearless individual who doesn't believe she really has anything more to lose than she already has, having taken up a "tough girl" persona to help shield the vulnerable pieces inside of her that were created once James became involved with Sombra, and then later left her without a word. Because of this early-on exposure to abandonment, Miranda tends to keep strangers at a safe distance, making it incredibly difficult for anyone to see the real her that is somewhere still inside. To her, trust takes time and can take up to years to gain someone's friendship per her standards, as she is afraid that they might end up leaving her just as her brother did. Growing up learning how to be a stubborn and determined individual, Miranda can also be a little foolish when it comes to making decisions, not always able to see the solution that is staring her right in the face. She tries to keep a strong idea of what is right and wrong, but oftentimes overthinks things that usually leads her down a wrong, and accidental path. A dense lover of music, Miranda is likely to listen to a wide variety of genres, though has recently been drawn more to metal or heavy rock such as Five Finger Death Punch or Volbeat. She has realized that her taste in music for what she is in the mood for generally revolves around where her own mood is at, and gets lost in the lyrics of certain songs that speak to her on a level that no simple words can even begin to breach. It is not uncommon to see Miranda alone in her room, listening to her music and drawing - both activities that keep her calm and from doing anything irrational that she would later regret. [b]Likes:[/b] ✔ Being with friends and family. ✔ Working Mia & Pia's Pizzeria & Brewhouse. ✔ Cooking. ✔ Many types of Music. ✔ The rain and thunder. [b]Dislikes:[/b] ✘ Coffee (causes migraines). ✘ Bullying and Racism. ✘ Flying and heights. ✘ Motorbikes. ✘ Snakes, other reptiles, amphibians and bugs. [b]Hobbies:[/b] Miranda is perfectly happy doing anything and everything so long as she can be with her friends and family. Aside from that, however, Miranda fully enjoys swimming, whether it be in a lake or a pool (and especially the ocean). She absolutely loves music and has a habit of singing songs out loud that are stuck in her head - she has even come up with a few lyrics of her own when bored, but doesn't believe them good enough to give any more attention to. Though she might not seem like the type to some, Miranda also enjoys fixing things, and spends quite a bit of time with her father in restoring things around the house that need updating. She isn't very good at it, but the bonding time she gets with her father makes it absolutely worth it, and the knowledge she gets on [i]how[/i] it should be done stays in her mind for later use when she might have to have someone else do it for her. On the smaller side of things, Miranda also enjoys drawing, writing poems or lyrics, and singing or dancing in the rain. She is her own Broadway musical in the shower. [b]Strengths:[/b] ⚜ Kind hearted and loyal - Once her trust is gained, Miranda is the best friend that could ever be had. She will lie, cheat, steal and even manipulate for those she cares about most, not caring in the slightest what kind of trouble it gets her in so long as it helps her friends out. She has the best interest of her loved ones at heart and simply just wants to see other people happy. ⚜ Confidence - Miranda doesn't give a shit about what other people think of her. She knows what she thinks of herself, and damn anyone who thinks her to be anything less. She knows she's beautiful, smart and resourceful and isn't afraid to use those angles to get what she wants. ⚜ Good with her hands - In both senses of the word. Though focusing on the more appropriate definition, Miranda works hard to fix and restore things around the house with her father. Though she isn't by any means fast, as long as she is able to go at her own pace, Miranda can get the job done... eventually... [b]Weaknesses:[/b] ☠ Fiery Temper - It takes a bit for Miranda to fly off the handle, so to speak. Though when she does, it doesn't matter if the person present was the one to set her off or not. Miranda's temper is not one to be tested, as she will hit all the right points to really get under someone's skin or even hurt them emotionally. ☠ Confidence - Because Miranda thinks so highly of herself, it often leaves her vulnerable in some aspects when someone is brave enough to call her out on it. And though it is difficult to make her show it, Miranda will often take those low blows to heart and think on them for days, feeling bad about herself. ☠ Likes drama a bit too much - Sometimes Miranda just gets bored. It isn't below her to start a tiny little rumor or two just to see what sort of feelings and emotions she can stir up. Though she would never (generally) do this to anyone she in incredibly close to, she is known to pull the occasional prank which usually gets her into some kind of trouble with her friends. [b]Brief Biography:[/b] Miranda was born the second and final child of the Burke family. The family name, in itself, has a reputation all on it's own as the Burkes have lived in Klamath Falls for generations, and have left a positive impact in almost everything that they do. They were a peaceful family, trying as they might to contribute positively to society and continue the legacy that was their namesake. But then Miranda's older brother, James, decided that he didn't want to abide by the family rules any longer. Miranda and her older brother James had always gotten along so well. She knew he loved her when he chose to play with her instead of his friends or always invited her along with them. It was only just a few years after her birth did she realize just how protective he was of her when one of his friends, at the age of 10, had his attempt at flirting with her. It wasn't until Miranda grew into a woman did she realize why it was that she never really saw that particular friend again. But suddenly, James began to grow distant of her. He never seemed to want to talk with her, or invite her out, or even be in the same room as her in general. It broke Miranda's heart, forcing Miranda to change her personality to fit one that she knew he might pay attention to. She became tough, and all around uncaring of just about everything. She wanted his attention so badly, she oftentimes forgot where the real Miranda was, and where the fake one began. But the more defiant Miranda became in order to gain his attention, the more she began to believe that she didn't need him - that she didn't need anyone. A sudden sense of independence suddenly sprouted from the young woman and as she grew, she came to realize just how different personalities could affect people in particular ways. So she began to practice different personas in order to get close to people at an arms length, gather information, and then use that information in order to keep herself safe. All the while, Miranda is still completely clueless that she uses this "defense mechanism" to shield herself from the hurt her brother brought upon her.

We did everything together as kids and I'm sure sped up our parents' graying process by a decade or two. I felt kind of bad though, leaving her when I enlisted in the military. I had no idea what she was going through until it was already too late. I hope that one day, she can forgive me for falling off the face of this Earth. She's my baby sister, my rock, my best friend. And I love her. ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ [h3]☮§⚜ [b]Myra Flores[/b] ☮§⚜[/h3] [i]“Man I love to give her hell.”[/i] [center][img]https://media.giphy.com/media/3o8doVY3jacRLyrSmI/giphy.gif[/img][/center] Myra is a lot older than Zoé and I. She pretty much was already popping out kids by the time I was four, which kind of put a slight blockade on the whole "sibling" thing. I grew up more with the twins than I did her, which was okay, but that bond just was never there. I still love her, though, and I have a great time picking on her - mostly because she's a sour ass all of the time and I'm one of the very few people that can get away with it! ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ [h3]☮ [b]Sombra Flores[/b] ☮[/h3] [i]“She's too smart for her own good.”[/i] [center][img]https://media.giphy.com/media/idRy1gbMygR3i/giphy.gif[/img][/center] I knew Sombra and Alexander both for a little while as kids. Myra took them to America not long after she had them, but I did get to hold her a time or two. But even though we didn't live in the same country anymore, I still kept in touch by writing letters and having phone calls. And as I got older I was able to visit them every once in a while in America. Even at a young age, I could tell that Sombra was smart. She took apart Myra's computer and put it back together before she had even learned to ride a bike. It was funnier than hell, but it always had me wondering just what she was going to do with her talent. Unfortunately, nothing really good, and next thing I know, she and some boy toy had run off without saying anything to Zoé, Myra and even me. God... I hope she's okay... There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about her. ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ [h3]☮ [b]Alexander Flores[/b] ☮[/h3] [i]“He's probably the only normal one in this family.”[/i] [center][img]https://68.media.tumblr.com/816661e320d7ce1cdae34836e04bb4cd/tumblr_o5yaka4bEG1rtels1o3_540.gif[/img][/center] Like Sombra, I grew up with Alexander for a few years before Myra took them all to America to live. I had a great time playing trucks and army men with him and was always really excited to see him specifically any time I was able to go to America to visit. He's a handful of years younger than me, sure, but he was always a lot of fun. It's been neat seeing him grow into the man I know he is today. He's got a level head on his shoulders, despite all the hell his family has put him through. ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ [h3]♦☯ [b]Ashlynn Lysandar[/b] ♦☯[/h3] [i]“If she trains the way I did, she's in for a very rough time.”[/i] [center][img]http://78.media.tumblr.com/08881a9544753ea84ac19ba51bfe098a/tumblr_inline_mx1i4wILqD1sotrar.gif[/img][/center] I met Ashlynn shortly before I was able to leave my training and come to America to find my sisters. The old woman sort of shoved her my way and made her my student - I'm thinking it was some kind of test to see what I had learned in that year. Ashlynn did okay - she takes criticism really hard and personally, and doesn't like being told what to do, at all, which made particular things pretty difficult. But overall I can see that she has a good heart and just doesn't want to disappoint anyone.

However his own moral code keeps him from giving that respect to just anyone and often keeps people at both a physical and emotional distance. He has seen what respect given to the wrong person can do and refuses to make any mistake like that ever again. This makes him rather closed off to new people and hard to get along with, but his heart of gold and fierce loyalty makes him the best ally to ever have. He is quiet and introverted by nature, opening up only to those he knows he can trust with his life which usually deals directly into his family. His best friend is his sister, Zoe, who knows anything and everything about him. There isn't anything that he won't tell her. He was a good soldier - he took orders and completed tasks, however the prospect of doing so "blindly" began to bother him in the long run, and after seven years, Damien decided that the military life was not for him. He resigned on somewhat peaceful terms, as he is not one to start a quarrel with anyone and will avoid bad blood between people as much as he can. He likes to know where he stands with people, as he makes it more than clear on how people stand with him. He can be somewhat judgemental and tends to stereotype without even thinking about it thanks to his military career. He's unafraid to make people dislike him, as he is not interested in being the type of guy that wants everyone to like him. He's straight-forward and speaks what is on his mind, not at all one for tactful deceit or using information to his advantage. Ever the patient one, it takes a lot to get under Damien's skin. However, should that elastic band ever stretch to a point of snapping, Damien isn't afraid to use his large stature and military training to get someone to see his way of things. Though he has never outright killed outside of the military, he has sent a few people to the hospital after testing his patience. Though this happens very rarely when someone targets himself, should the subject of his family ever get brought up he is willing to defend them until his last breath. He is fiercely loyal to his family and will go to the ends of the earth and beyond for them without a moments hesitation. He is a brave man that holds nothing back when confronted with a situation that could be potentially dangerous. Having been raised by a rather religious family, it is Damien's belief that whatever happens will happen, and that if he should die, God will take care of his soul. He has sinned like any other man, but his relationship with God is a good one, and often prays on behalf of not only himself, but others around him. He does not fear death. [b]Likes:[/b] ✔ Action Movies. ✔ Beer. ✔ Working with his hands. ✔ His family. ✔ Steak and any other kind of meat. ✔ Shooting. ✔ Tattoos. [b]Dislikes:[/b] ✘ Taking orders he doesn't understand. ✘ Warm beer. ✘ Threats towards her family and friends. ✘ His mother constantly asking him when she can have grandchildren and trying to set him up on dates. ✘ Stubble. ✘ Junkies and Rag Heads. ✘ Early mornings. [b]Hobbies:[/b] Damien works independently as a "fix it up" man. This means he spends a good majority of his time working on peoples houses, between tiling, roofing, fencing and all other home repair, he has also built extensions on peoples homes and even sheds or garages. He is also decent with appliance repair such as a washing machine that stopped spinning or a refrigerator that stopped getting cold. [b]Strengths:[/b] ⚜ Calm and Collected- it takes a lot to get Damien steamed up, and while others usually lose their heads around him, his calm approach to most all cases makes him a formidable leader as he is able to think clearly and carefully on what to do next. ⚜ Weapon Specialist- his military training has made him somewhat of an expert on a wide variety of different weapons. Between swords, guns, knives and axes, his most favored weapon is a Colt Mustang he carries on him at all times. ⚜ Multilingual- born and raised in Barcelona with the rest of her family; Damien is able to speak not only Spanish, but also English as well. His time in the military has also taught him Japanese, Korean and German. And most recently, Damien has learned the ancient language of Druid. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] ☠ Loner- Damien is afraid to open up to people strictly for the fact that he doesn't ever want to be betrayed again. This has set him up for a rather lonely life despite what he says on wanting it that way. ☠ Over Protective- with those he loves, it oftentimes causes problems between himself and whoever his best interests are in. It has drawn him apart from his sisters on a number of occasions. ☠ Hard Headed- when Damien has something on his mind, he will do whatever it takes to get it taken care of. Being as he's not afraid of death, this often-times leads him into some dangerous situations. [b]Brief Biography:[/b] Damien was born the middle child into the Flores family. The more faired skin of the bunch (taking after his father), he was constantly teased as a child for being "adopted" which taught Damien at an early age on how to stand up for not only himself, but his family. He got through school on a C average, never really putting much energy into his studies but never completely giving up either. He found that building relationships was far more important than any history on something that had happened a thousand years ago. By the time he hit high school, he realized that the options were set out for him, black and white. He could either work hard to get his grades up so that he could go to college, or join the military. Deciding that putting love into his country was no different than love for his family, Damien decided to enlist and right after high school became a man serving his country. He spent seven years enlisted before he decided that it wasn't what he wanted - following orders "blindly" never really set well with him. So he resigned and decided to do some independent work. At the time, it was just helping his parent's neighbor with a bit of home repair, but what had started as helping out a little old lady slowly developed into a passion that Damien could be proud of. He decided to start working for himself, finding his own contracts and work independently so that he didn't have to rely on anyone else. The pay is modest, but he gets by. During a particular demolition on a drug house, Damien came across an ancient necklace that he thought would be a great present for his little sister, Zoe, who he had plans on visiting in a few months. However the moment he removed the artifact from the earth, strange things began to happen. He remembered feeling hot, feverish even, and had to call it a day early to go home. He was drenched in sweat, but clung to the covers like they were his only safety. His dreams played out like a history movie - events that he didn't understand nor was involved in. He witnessed magic - transformations and rituals - the good, the bad, and the ugly. Then his dreams shifted to a woman who kept calling out to him. Months of these dreams continued to plague his sleep until finally, Damien gave in and went to find the woman who he kept seeing. It took over three weeks to find her. He had to use the money he had saved up to go and see Zoe to reach the woman, as she had him going to Mexico first, and then Argentina. He was amazed that the woman even existed, but she spent a good amount of time with him, explaining the changes he had noticed in his life and the necklace he had found. She had explained to him that he had been chosen, and that he was no longer human, but a Druid. Forgetting all about time itself, and even his family, Damien spent the next year learning about his new abilities and his new calling in life.

It is their sole purpose to gather the knowledge of all the races and to preserve and protect the lands. They are a small (rare) race of historians, philosophers, magic wielders, teachers, and researchers. It is Damien's calling to become an emissary to a werewolf pack of which he has not yet chosen. When using the magic he has been given, Damien's eyes turn a startling blue, muted color. And though he has the capability to shape shift into almost anything, he prefers the strong, powerful symbol of the white tiger. [b]Druid Abilities:[/b] As a Druid, Damien has the following powers and abilities: [b]Elemental Magic:[/b] Druid magic draws from the earth, air, fire and water in various forms. Its power is enhanced or weakened by the strength of the user. Luckily, Damien has little-to-no problems with having success with his magic. While most Druids find more success with talismans or some external source, Damien's training has made him quite adept in wielding magic without them and has learned to use his surroundings. More complicated spells require use of the Druid language but allows spell casting such as sealing away a powerful werewolf, casting a protection spell or casting a spell to cause harm to a creature. [b]Intuition:[/b] Every Druid has a powerful 6th sense that reveals itself in visions, general feelings, and premonitions. They also have the ability to locate individuals anywhere in the world by concentrating on that individual. Being a newbie, Damien possesses all of these abilities however his locating people by thought and precision of visions isn't nearly as strong as others. [b]Divination:[/b] Damien has a very limited ability of being able to see into the future for a short period of time. It is not very precise however it is able to give him a brief idea of what is to come. [b]Druid Sleep:[/b] Druids can place themselves in a form of suspended animation known as the Druid Sleep. During this time they are rejuvenated and their lives are prolonged, but the Druid Sleep cannot sustain one forever. Towards the end of a Druid's life, the sleep becomes less and less effective, until the Druid's life ends. There has been no limit stated as to the length of time one can remain in the Druid Sleep, but if it is used recklessly, complications can result. The Druid Sleep also can cause sterility in male Druids. It is possible the same might happen to females. Damien has not yet used this ability. [b]Invisibility:[/b] Druid magic allows a Druid to leave their bodies in an invisible spirit form - a form of astral projection which allows the user to travel freely, unobserved with limited physical interaction. Damien has quite a bit of difficulty in doing this and does not exercise it often. Another, separate Druid magic is based on the magic of Illusion. They are able to use magic to blend in with their surroundings like a chameleon, to trick or elude enemies. Damien has a lot more success with this. [b]Shape Shifting:[/b] Damien is able to change his physical form and take on another. Be it a bug, a squirrel, a horse or even another person, Damien is able to take on the characteristics and skills of the form he is taking on. It takes a lot of concentration and willpower, so for the time being Damien sticks to just a few different forms and practices mastering those before he moves on to more complicated ones.

It survived his military years (though has lost it a few times and went to hell and back to retrieve it) and will forever be a part of him. When needing just an extra bit of strength to push through whatever he's dealing with, Damien will grip onto it, say a small prayer, and continue on. Though when he is able to truly pray, he will lay it on the bed in front of him while he gets on his knees on the floor. Damien loves tattoos, though each one he has marked upon his body means something significant to him. Whether it be the head of a tiger as he learned to embrace his Druid side, or the names of his family members, or even a tattoo of a dragon that relates back to his military days, there is never a mark without meaning. He has them all across his [url=http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2016/news/160222/vin-diesel-600.jpg]front[/url] and [url=http://cdn.inkedmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/vin-diesel-back-tattoo1.jpg]back[/url] and already has a few more in mind for his next session.

His manners are solid but he will joke around, tease, let loose and just have fun when around those he knows he can trust. He is not above being the "that guy" at the party that people will tell stories about for years to come. He has an incredible sense of humor that makes talking to him quite easy and even has a bitter, sarcastic edge to him that keep him almost a mystery to those who don't know him well. He enjoys telling stories of his younger days as a rebellious criminal moving from one thing to the next - especially the stories that involve narrowly escaping conviction. Though he will never outright admit it, James misses the life he once held before settling down with a wife and from time to time can be found in a situation worthy of a story one day. And he absolutely loves it. James cares about appearances more than almost anything else. Whether it comes to the way he physicality looks, to the way he appears to others in certain situations. This has made James to look like a bit of an asshole more times than not, simply because he's the kind of guy that cares what other people think. He feels like he has a reputation to keep despite what it might do to those he is closest to in order to remain feeling "cool" and accepted by his peers. When it comes to his werewolf nature, James is a far cry from what others would classify as a true-blooded wolf. He is nothing like the ruthless, reckless beast that has been seen time and time again among his people - his alpha had taught him better than that. He has the upmost respect for Zoé and is perhaps the only person he will do anything for without fighting back - a respect he doesn't even give his wife on some occasions. He loves and respects his family, but when it comes to the hierarchy of his pack, his every instinct tells him to follow his alpha. No matter what. He will defend both to his last dying breath without question if it is what is needed, though tries to avoid conflict as much as possible despite the fact that he was ballsy enough to run away with Sombra without permission from anyone but each other. Loyalty and respect go far with James. It angers him when people use others in order to get something done or take credit for deeds that someone else has done. He is an honest man and prefers to deal with his problems with people face-to-face rather than talk behind someone's back and gripe about it. He's a man of quick resolution and absolutely detests when problems get "swept under the rug" to be dealt with another day, because he knows that day might never come. Though when it comes to the well-being of his wife or pack, James would not stop at the chance to let the wolf within do what it has to do in order to keep them from being used in this manner. Though even in his wolf form, James is not a fan of violence and will only resort to such behavior if he feels that he has no other choice. And though he might go after someone expressing idiotic behavior or killing an innocent person, James is unsure if he could actually ever kill them despite how much they deserve it. [b]Likes:[/b] ✔ His family and pack. ✔ Loyalty and respect. ✔ Indian food. ✔ Social drinking. ✔ Darts and pool. [b]Dislikes:[/b] ✘ People threatening his family, and his pack. ✘ Bullying and racism. ✘ Senseless violence. ✘ Fighting within the pack. ✘ Seafood. [b]Hobbies:[/b] James enjoys the casual/social drinking scene which includes activities such as darts and pool. He has gotten quite good at both of these games over the years and has even started getting into hustling in order to get more money out of his bets. When his "check-liver light" comes on and James needs a break from the bar crowd, he enjoys working out and going off-roading in his truck though he rarely finds time to do this on his own as his job is very demanding. One of the advantages of being a firefighter, however, is being able to work out while on duty in one of the gyms at the stations. [b]Strengths:[/b] ⚜ Fiercely loyal - James is, and always will be, loyal to Zoé above all other people. Though he is just as loyal to his wife, Sombra, if a situation were to come up where he had to choose loyalty between the two of them, James feels as though he would be compelled to choose Zoé. ⚜ His family and pack - James feels as though he is strong on his own, but with the knowledge that he has so many people behind him, having his back, James feels as though he has become ten times stronger. He will fight for them under any situation and is even willing to risk his life for each and every one of them, despite if they feel the same way about him. ⚜ Determination - James has a will that is unbreakable by most any means. Once he sets his mind on something, he sets out and has to do it, even if it means going behind people's backs that he knows would stop him, such as his wife. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] ☠ His family and pack - Though considered a strength, the fact that he will do literally anything for them also makes this a weakness. Should someone do enough research on James and the way he operates, they could get enough ammunition to use his family and pack against him to do their bidding. ☠ Regressing to old habits - James misses his old life. He misses the adrenaline rushes and the social life he had before deciding to run off with Sombra and getting married. Though the two of them have a great life together, James tends to make excuses to at least be able to go to a bar every once in a while and have a couple drinks with his friends and play pool. But that, even sometimes, isn't enough. ☠ Kind hearted - James can be too soft for his own good. He does not condone senseless violence which usually leads to him taking the first hit, and even possibly quite a few after that. He believes that there can be good in everyone, and that every problem has a peaceful solution, though the type of people he associates himself with do not share his line of thinking. [b]Brief Biography:[/b] A third-generation native to Klamath Falls, James was the first born of two in the Burke family - the last name itself carrying quite a positive reputation around the town and putting quite a bit of pressure on him and his sister as they grew up, expected to be perfect children. Before Miranda was even born, James was a very active, difficult child from the moment he could stand on his own two feet. His sister was born when he was only five and though while most children his age would have reservations about having a sibling, James was over the moon to have a baby sister he could look out for and take care of. He was incredibly attentive to her and kept a watchful eye on her always, even as she grew into a "tough girl" persona which he always found to be quite charming and even a little bit adorable. As James entered into his teen years, his knack for getting into trouble only increased and seemed to even get more dangerous for him. This streak in him, of course caused many fights within his family as he had a name and reputation to hold up but James just couldn't find it in himself to care enough to quit having his fun. Seeing her brother constantly in trouble confused his sister greatly, which hurt James in the special place of his heart reserved for her, but he didn't dare show it - not if he wanted to keep his own "bad boy" persona up. His family had one reputation to keep, and he had another. But he never stopped looking after Miranda. It was also during these years that James met a set of twins - Alexander and Sombra. Being the same age he was, James got along quite well with Alexander and the two eventually became the best of friends. But what James hadn't counted on was developing strong feelings for Alex's sister, Sombra, who also seemed to have a knack for trouble. The two of them hooked up on occasion without telling anyone, knowing that it would put a strain on his friendship with Alex. Miranda eventually found out, expressing her own disapproval to James simply for the fact that Sombra didn't exactly help to discourage James getting into trouble. And they did. James and Sombra were quite the pair when they began to hang out with each other more openly. What was considered petty crimes turned into much larger ones - starting fights, breaking and entering, tagging and even thievery. Because of Sombra's expertise in computer hacking, everything they did seemed to be so easy and the small handful of times they got caught, James took all the blame for. Sombra was his goddess and just like Miranda, he would protect her to the ends of Earth and back again a hundred-thousand times over. Their criminal escapades didn't exactly earn James any brownie points with Sombra's mother, being the chief of police. But neither of them even seemed to care so long as they were together and met each challenge of whoever attempted to keep them apart. It was during one of their sneak-out-to-meet stunts that changed both of their lives together. Getting rather intimate in the back of his truck out in the country, the two were attacked by a supernatural creature - something neither of them understood to be a Werewolf until they noticed the strange things happening to them. The woman who had saved them from the initial attack, ironically enough, was Sombra's aunt and apparently, the Alpha Werewolf of Klamath Falls. She turned their worlds upside down as she began to explain the supernatural world and that she had been involved in it this whole time. James and Sombra would have died for sure if it hadn't been for Zoé, as she was forced into biting them to turn rather than kill as the first Werewolf had. It was enough of a traumatic experience for James to want to start getting his life back on track. He was a new pup and naive to the supernatural world. Zoé ended up saving his butt quite a few times more as he tried to get used to things. He built a very strong respect for his Alpha and created a trust that could not be broken by any means and quickly adapted to the life of a Werewolf - a life with his pack. He kept what he was from everyone outside of his pack, including even his little sister Miranda which he used to be able to talk to about anything. James' streak of getting into trouble began to diminish as he was more focused now on his new abilities and helping Sombra with hers. He didn't exactly understand how or why, but it seemed that his relationship with Sombra had even grown stronger than it had been before they had been turned. He ached to tell Alex and Miranda everything, but knew that it would only hurt and confuse them if he did. So to make things easier on everyone, James and Sombra skipped town with out a word to anyone save for Zoé. He owed his Alpha at least that much. They moved to Los Angeles, California, where James eventually landed himself a job as a firefighter after a few years of struggling and trying to make ends meet. Never did he think that their lives would bring them back to Klamath Falls where everything happened, and that their lives would once more be thrown for a loop.

As an Omega werewolf, James's eyes glow yellow in color. [b]Werewolf Abilities:[/b] As a werewolf, James has the following powers and abilities: [b]Shape Shifting:[/b] James can change his appearance, allowing him to take on a humanoid werewolf form or an animal form. He prefers to stick to the latter. [b]Superhuman Strength:[/b] James is much stronger than most humans and even some other supernatural creatures, and is able to lift up to five tons. [b]Night Vision:[/b] James can see clearly at night and therefore does not fear the dark. [b]Retractable Claws and Fangs:[/b] James can control when his claws and fangs come out and retreat back in at will. Though sometimes, when angered, he is unable to control them coming out. [b]Heightened Senses:[/b] James can smell, see and hear far better than any human, ranging from a few meters, to up to a mile away; also due to having more control than other werewolves (both in his pack and lone), James has the ability to sense illness and, in some cases, the onset of an epileptic seizure. [b]Accelerated Healing:[/b] James heals quickly from most injuries and scars; and thanks to the initial bite, James has also been cured of all and any chronic illnesses like asthma, epilepsy or even cancer (both known and unknown), and now has an immunity to any disease. [b]Enhanced Agility:[/b] James can jump and climb at amazing speeds, leaping great distances of about thirty feet from the ground; he is also much faster than not only humans, but also some other supernatural creatures, able to run up to seventy miles per hour - James is also shown to have faster reflexes, allowing him to catch fast moving objects in mid-air, such as arrows or even lacrosse balls; his reflexes are fifteen times faster than that of a normal human. [b]Enhanced Strength:[/b] James is much stronger than humans. [b]Pain Transference:[/b] James, by touch, can absorb the pain of a human, animal, or supernatural creature, and can (at times) even go so far as to "heal" in some cases, though this ability takes a lot of mental energy out of him. [b]Memory Transference:[/b] James can transfer (give or take) memories by inserting his claws into the nape of an individual's neck. This ability can establish mind-to-mind communication and, with practice, allow for memory manipulation or erasure. He has not had many chances to experiment or practice this. [b]Canine Control:[/b] James can calm down other canine animals, like dogs, and also make them attack on command; however, this particular ability has the opposite effect on cats and other felines much to his dismay. [b]Werewolf Perks and Quirks:[/b] As a werewolf, James has the following perks and quirks: ⚜ Camera flashes and some video recording devices cause James's eyes to glow making him nearly impossible to photograph, however James has learned to control this effect if he knows about it beforehand. ⚜ In the dark, James's eyes seem to react to light like a regular canine with eye-shine. ⚜ James cannot become intoxicated by drinking alcohol due to his enhanced healing ability, making it impossible for his regulars and friends to out-drink him. Though he can maintain a pretty good buzz for a while. ⚜ Smelling chemo signals allows James to know what someone is feeling. ⚜ James can control his healing ability, though only while he's conscious. ⚜ James, like other werewolves, has a tendency to draw a spiral to symbolize his intent for revenge.

Having always wanted or needed attention from his older siblings, everything became a competition to prove that he could be just as smart as they were, or that he could be on their intellect. He likes making points or bringing up technicalities in conversation, though those who don't know him too well consider his conversations more of an argument. He finds it hard to put into words what is on his mind or what he is feeling and often-times expresses himself by means of music or writing. His creative side ranges from creative writing, expressive drawing, playing music and coming up with spontaneous ideas that could potentially become a plot for a movie or video game. When he sets his mind on something, Alder will not take no, or defeat as an answer. When something sticks true to his heart, he will fight for what he wants until he gets it. He is stubborn by nature and almost always refuses help from other people, wanting - [i]needing[/i] to do things on his own. However on the rare occurrence that he does rely on someone else, he has more than likely given in to his insecurities, making him a fragile, angry mess. Socially he is quite popular, seemingly. At work, he is a big thing and all of the regulars and co-workers seem to love him. He's funny, quirky, and almost always smiles and knows how to treat the customers like friends (with the benefit of being able to cut them off whenever he wants). He even gets invited to their parties (which is weird coming from the regulars who are all almost in their forties or older) but when it comes down to it, Alder doesn't have any one person he can truly call a best friend, anymore. The girl he has fallen in love with over the internet and met a few times was that person, but she has since found someone else to call her best friend, labeling him as simply "still trying to figure it out." His friendships no longer run blood-deep like in high school, but seem to be on the surface only, which helps very little when it comes to his insecurities. Even his own girlfriend he isn't sure what to make of entirely yet. Romantically, Alder puts everything out there, making the person he loves know without a shadow of a doubt as to where his head is. He buys gifts and organizes events. He can even be sappy by coordinating their every day lives into the little things that have built their relationship, such as taking his girlfriend to Lake Tahoe (a surprise) when the subject matter of Tahoe was how they first met. He remembers the little things, such as favorite song, smell, color, even how she likes her hair to be played with in specific areas. He's a great snuggler and a solid rock within the relationship so long as things are good. Though his insecurities often lead him into believing things that aren't there, which have caused many problems.

He also spends a good amount of time playing video games, chatting on Skype and bar-hopping with close friends. [b]Strengths:[/b] ⚜ Loyal- When it comes to people he cares about, Alder is quick to put them first. He is solid when it comes to keeping secrets for others, making him a reliable go-to person that many people find comfort in going to for venting. There isn't anything he wouldn't do when it comes to the people he loves and his motives are never questioned. When someone he loves is in trouble, or someone is giving someone he cares about a hard time, Alder is not afraid to tear that person down and make them feel worthless. No one messes with those he cares for. ⚜ Handy-man- Alder's father taught him at a very young age how to take care of the house in the ways that mean being a man. He knows how to split and stack wood, mow the lawn, check circuit breakers and fix petty little repairs that most people would have to call a repair man for. He can fish and camp on his own, clean and cook fish and if he really wants to, cook up a fantastic meal to feed quite a few people. ⚜ Fun-Loving- In general, Alder is a really easy guy to like. A bit of a social chameleon, Alder's personality adapts to certain people that he is around, especially when dealing with different waves of regulars that come in and out of the bar. Some people he can talk sports to all day, while others need a more personal approach to give advice on their daughters problems, while a third group he can talk sex and farts. He's seen as fun, compassionate, easy-going and love hearing the stories he has to share about his younger mishaps. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] ☠ Insecure- Alder doesn't have a whole lot of self-confidence. Everything he ever had when it came to relationships outside of his family was just settling. He's had his fair share of using and even abusive girlfriends that got him nowhere, which made him believe that he wasn't good enough for anything else. So when presented with the possibility of what it is that he wants, he often times casts doubt, not wanting to be hurt again. ☠ Jealous- Alder doesn't do very well being "second best" in almost anything. Competitive by nature, Alder simply just likes to win. Whether it be coming in second in a college bowl pool, or having his girl looking at someone else, Alder doesn't like it. Though he keeps quiet about his jealousy most times, if things continue to pile up that feed into his securities, he will be due to explode. ☠ Impulsive- Learning how to live life the way he wants, Alder has quickly come to realize that he is rather impulsive despite it being a trait from the start. Despite his usual organized nature, there are times when a certain opportunity will present himself and Alder will delve in head-first into the situation without thinking too much on it. Examples being buying an Xbox one when he didn't exactly have the money, or falling in love with a girl who already had a boyfriend. [b]Brief Biography:[/b] Born the youngest of five, Alder was never really expected to be much of anything. After the murder of his sister Lori when he was only two, his parents practically gave up in raising him the way that they had his other siblings. He grew up never knowing Lori, but the massive amount of friends his family had made it near impossible for Alder to escape any stories and legacies she left behind. Being considerably younger than the rest of his siblings, they took to being his baby sitter for most of his life. His father was a firefighter, and hardly ever home, but Alder idolized him above anyone else in his family. Though he was never allowed a puppy like he always wanted, Alder spent a good portion of his time with his family, mostly camping or doing get-togethers for food. He felt somewhat secluded from his older siblings, though he and Blaine had a decent relationship. It wasn't until he was eighteen and graduated from high school did his older siblings start to want to bond with him. Generational gaps amongst siblings is never easy. He managed to graduate on a somewhat higher level of academics than his peers, though he wasn't anything significantly special. Most of high school he spent it drinking and skipping, though used his charm on his teachers to always find a way to get a good grade. During his senior year, he became quite serious with a girl he eventually married at age twenty. However as soon as they said their "I do's" something changed in their relationship that eventually spiraled down into almost nothing. Alder just grew to accept that his relationship was the way it was. However finding a friend online he had common interests in, that friendship slowly developed into something more romantic, though by pure accident. Alder realized quickly what he was missing in his marriage and found it in the girl he met online. He knew what he wanted, finally, and decided he no longer wanted to live a life of settling. The straw that broke the camels back came when he found out that his wife had been lying to him about finances, and unable to take it anymore, Alder divorced his wife and became more involved with the woman he met online, despite her having a boyfriend. Since then, Alder has gotten a job at Mia and Pias and what started out as a simple dish washing job turned into Alder becoming the Head Bartender at the parlor. He has gone to Australia once to meet the girl he knew he was in love with and she has come to visit him. Both times, they experimented with a relationship, though each time she has gone back to her boyfriend. However a promise remains in the air, a promise he is willing to be patient for. Because she is everything he could ever want, and he knows that she loves him too. Though as two years turned into three, and then three into four, and graduating college, Alder became restless and impatient. A girl, seemingly out of nowhere, suddenly waltzed into his life and at first, deciding to date the girl to make Ashlynn jealous, turned into a pretty decent relationship. Though he was honest with his girlfriend out front about everything - about being in love with another woman and unsure what kind of relationship they could have together. His girlfriend was understanding and patient, which made Alder feel even worse. He's still unsure what he wants to do, though he doesn't have a doubt in his mind that if Ashlynn were to come out and say "be with me" he wouldn't hesitate to do so. He feels like he's in a state of limbo - he wants to move on and get a better job, but he's also very comfortable with the job he has, but he also doesn't want his degree to go to waste. He's put in for a few different jobs, though nothing too serious. He's simply just waiting for the right time and circumstance.

He began medication for it when he was just twelve years old, however now as an adult, Alder didn't want to become dependent on any drug and quit taking them. With his girlfriend/not girlfriend in his life, it helps him out a great deal and he feels fine. However, when she isn't there, it's very easy for him to spiral down into a crash landing that not even sleep can help. Diagnosed at fourteen years old, Alder has a condition called Long QT Syndrome. It is a condition that relates to the heart - an irregular heart beat. There are times when his heart just decides to stop, which results in him losing consciousness which has been dangerous in the past. He has passed out in parking lots, church, and even at work. Though older now, he has somewhat of an idea as to how to know when it is coming and can prepare himself so he doesn't fall where he can get injured. He has been in and out of hospitals and treated like a guinea pig, as the doctors don't seem to know [i]exactly[/i] what is wrong. He has had two heart surgeries, the latest being done only a few months ago. Alder isn't an avid smoker, however when stress gets to him he will indulge in a cigarette or two to help take off the edge. However he has taken to purposefully leaving his cigarettes at home so he doesn't smoke at work.

His parents struggled to keep them afloat financially while still trying to provide the best life possible for him. Watching that struggle for a great many years, it humbled Xerxes' heart to be grateful for what he had, but also to not be afraid to strive for more. Though always seen with a rather goofy smile on his face, deep down, Xerxes is a rather insightful individual that tends to think on moments in his past as he no longer has to fear for his future. His fierce determination at giving himself and his family a better life pushed Xerxes to the limits while he was in school. He even worked a few jobs outside of school to save up money to attend college where he knew he wanted to help people. Even when it became tough, his iron-will pushed him through his own limits, resulting in the man graduating top of his class and having the means to move to America where he could get the best college education as a doctor. He has a daughter that he would lasso the moon for, if she asked. He keeps her under careful surveillance though knows that she is at the age where she is due privacy and freedom. It kills him inside, seeing her growing up so fast, and is still adjusting to the role of her best friend and father is starting to change. Though that doesn't keep him from scaring away a boy or two that has come over that he felt might be interested in her. His years as a successful doctor keep him a patient, resilient man, always ready for the next task at saving a life. Though not always successful, Xerxes is the kind of guy that will go over and beyond any regular doctor when it comes to sharing the bad news with the family. He is courageously compassionate and loves with a heart that isn't quite capable of any humans biology. Quite sociable at work, Xerxes is that one doctor that his coworkers are always inviting to parties and special events. Though he chooses these outings carefully, as his daughter is always his first priority. Though when amongst friends, his infectious smile and almost boyish attitude make everyone feel comfortable in his presence. [b]Likes:[/b] ✔ His daughter. ✔ Animals of almost all kinds, especially lions. ✔ Living life without financial worry. ✔ A cold beer. ✔ Thunderstorms. ✔ Sports. ✔ The color orange. [b]Dislikes:[/b] ✘ Teenage girl hormones. ✘ Fighting with his daughter. ✘ Having to be the bad guy. ✘ Not having a mother for his daughter - not having a wife. ✘ Self-centered attitudes. ✘ Most teenage boys. ✘ Sleepless nights. [b]Hobbies:[/b] Xerxes is a rather busy man and has very little personal time outside of the hospital. However, whatever time he does have he tends to spend with his daughter. Whether it be camping, horseback riding, taking her to a sports game or watching movies at home, he is happiest when the two of them are bonding. However, now that she is older and out doing her own things, Xerxes has become somewhat of a regular at Mia and Pia's for a beer or two a few times a week, either by himself or occasionally with friends. [b]Strengths:[/b] ⚜ Compassionate- Xerxes is a kind, gentle soul that usually goes beyond his reach to ensure that someone he cares about is being well taken care of. Even if he doesn't know the person directly, he is known to still show care and concern for those that are going through something hard and has even donated a good amount of money for various causes, surgeries, therapies and so on. ⚜ Surgical Hero- Xerxes is a skilled surgeon and one of the most sought-after at Sky Lakes Medical Center, even having enough feedback for those in the surrounding cities to want to be seen by him. ⚜ Fun-Loving- Xerxes has an infectious personality when not having to remain serious and concentrated while working. He loves making people laugh and feel good about themselves and telling stories that often puts him in the center of attention. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] ☠ Insecure- Xerxes spends a great deal of time at night wondering if he won't ever be able to find a mother for his daughter. Though he knows its his own fault, as after losing his daughters mother, he's afraid to open up again. ☠ Over Protective- with those he loves, it oftentimes causes problems between himself and whoever his best interests are in. It has drawn him apart from his daughter a number of times, especially as of recently. ☠ Only knows how to "man"- if it weren't for his daughter, Xerxes would be perfectly okay with coming home after work and popping in a TV dinner in the microwave. He doesn't cook for himself, as he never has time, nor does he do laundry or keep the house clean and instead hires people to do it for him if his daughter doesn't get to it first. [b]Brief Biography:[/b] Xerxes was born the only child to two angels, Thanasis and Agathe. Though they wanted more children, financially there were unable to as Xerxes grew up in near poverty. He watched his parents struggle for years to keep them financially afloat for his behalf so that he could learn and go to school. So he made a decision at a very young age to be so successful, he and his family would never have to worry about money ever again. He got himself a few jobs while in high school, saving up what he could to get his foot in the door of a college in America he had his eyes set on for a few years. He graduated top of his class, and after giving his parents what money he could spare, he left Greece to brave America where he knew his dreams could come true. He spent a good number of years studying on becoming a doctor, knowing that not only could he help people, but he could get paid very well for it as well. While in college, he met a woman who he had a brief relationship with. Though intent on marrying her, even after she had his child, he never got the chance as Leukemia became a very sudden factor in her life, and took it very shorty after. Xerxes felt that he was to blame - if he had studied harder, he could have found a cure to save her. He still feels that sense of helplessness and never wants to have to revisit anything like it ever again. He raised his daughter on his own after that, miraculously graduating college and landing a job at the local hospital. As he grew as a doctor, his skills improved so much that he was able to have his choice in whatever hospital he wanted. After doing some extensive research, he decided to move himself and his daughter to Portland, Oregon where he could continue his practice at OHSU. The two of them spent a great number of years there, but the drama in the medical field began to grow, making Xerxes' hair start to gray. He wanted no part of it. So shortly after, he transferred to a small town in Oregon called Klamath Falls where he could continue to excel in his profession where the drama was so much less. He has been living in Klamath Falls ever since. Still a bit new to the area, having only lived there for two years, his reputation as one of the best doctors Sky Lakes Medical Center has ever seen is starting to spread. Now that his future is secured, he's starting to think back on his past, more notably getting worried that his daughter might never have a mother again. He is able to buy her anything she could ever want... except for that. [img]https://im5.ezgif.com/tmp/ezgif-5-b562215fd9.gif[/img] [hr][hr] [h1]Angel Information[/h1] [hr][hr] [b]Type of Angel:[/b] The Earthly Guardians (a type of angel) are guardians that reside and act on Earth assigned to protect it from demons, vampires, werewolves, Old Ones and evil gods by the Celestial Court. As both of his parents are angels, Xerxes has rather strong genetic traits that are quite powerful for an angel, though Xerxes spends his time in helping humans in a different way than from other supernaturals. [b]Angel Abilities:[/b] As an Angel, Xerxes has the following powers and abilities: [b]Elemental Magic:[/b] Angel magic draws from the earth, air, fire and water in various forms. Its power is enhanced or weakened by the strength of the user. Xerxes is able to and has used almost every form of elemental magic in one way or another, however prefers more subtle uses of magic that can aid him in saving a life, such as directing blood away from a clot or to drain fluid from lungs. [b]Super Senses:[/b] Angels have learned to control their senses of hearing, vision, taste, touch and smell. Their senses are as advanced as Vampires. [b]Telepathy:[/b] Angels can communicate non verbally, using their mental senses depending on the guardian they can communicate with someone around the world. [b]Empathy:[/b] Angels are able to sense and control the emotions of others. While able to choose to not change someone's emotions, Xerxes has a hard time turning off that part of him that is able to pick up on other people's emotions. [b]Sacred Blood:[/b] The blood of an Angel is the ultimate weapon used to destroy all evil creatures of the Universe. It is the only weapon that can completely destroy the Old Ones and prevent their resurrection. Xerxes has never had to use this ability, however. [b]Flight:[/b] Having been gifted with beautiful wings that support his entire body, Xerxes is able to fly over long distances without much fatigue and has even flown himself to Greece a time or two to visit with his parents. He is able to hide the wings in his back when amongst humans and prefers to keep them that way even when alone, but is able to control when they come out.
