Name/Aliases: Jacque Baila

Age: 21

Race:(Can really be anything except nothing too powerful) Water elemental

Appearance: (I have a habit of posting links, forgive me) Righthere

Bio: Jacque was born and raised in a little town in Maui, and much like many other Hawaiians, Jacque *loved* the ocean. Some would simply justify his reason for this as him being a "typical islander", however, his bond with the sea goes much deeper than that. You sea (heh, puns), Jacque belongs to a dwindling tribe of elementals who call the island their home. Everything in Jacque's life was going swimingly (oh god, someone stop me), until his father died, at which point the family heirloom; A strange machete like blade known as niho mano (shark's tooth), was passed on to Jacque, along with its history. Despite its appearance, the blade is actually one of the mystical artifacts needed to complete the mirror, and his tribe took it upon themselves to protect it from evil. After learning the weapon's dark destiny, you'd think that Jacque would simply destroy the artifact or do as his family before him did and protect it, but instead he ended up doing something completely different; He began to travel the world, blade in hand, on a mission to secure or destroy the other artifacts. He started this task when he was 19 and continues to search to this day.

Skills/Good attributes: Due to his constant hunt and close proximity with them Jacque has developed a sort of sense that allows him to locate artifacts nearby, he's agile, and a quick thinker, and he is *extremely* adept at using his elemental ability

Skills/Bad attributes: He dehydrates quicker than a human would, and his sensing abilities are somewhat sporadic, he can drop an artifact's trail almost as quick as he picks it up, physically speaking he's no stronger than a human, he gets *really* moody if someone mentions his missing limb

Personality: Jacque is a mixed bag, he can be boisterous and easily excitable if you know what sets him off, but he tries to hide this behind a more casual demeanor, and although he may not admit it, Jacque can be quite insecure about his missing arm

Ability (Certain abilities allowed...): Hydrokinesis (he's at his most powerful during a full moon)

Other: Jacque lost his left arm to a tiger shark when he swam too far out to sea, because of this he carries around a camel pack filled with water which he morphs into a surrogate arm when needed. Another thing, niho mano's blade is the actual artifact, Jacque made it a point to change the handle to a more modern one to suit his tastes.

throwing this out now, i'm more used to free Rp's so forgive me if I don't produce more than the others ^^"

This is gonna be ore of a character wiki :3

Username: ladyonyx04

Name: Elsa Voss {Not exactly her real name}
Alias: Hunts woman

Age: possibly early teens or twenties. Isn't exactly sure.

Race: Half Elf half human

Appearance: Appearance

Theme Song: the fighting spirit

Bio: Ever since she was little, Elsa had been around lions and wildlife in general, being raised by and around them, for she never knew her family or parents. She is 5'9", has red hair, and blue/green eyes, and muscles that had come from many years of running through the forest, as well as fighting wildlife and lifting the carcasses of her kills. A life in the wild, Elsa has acquired many scars on her body, but not one is ugly or marring in her elvish beauty. She had to figure out what her abilities were on her own, and at the age of eight, she was caught in a human's trap and brought to their villiage. There she learned spoken language and about the spices that the forest couldn't provide and about her healing powers and noticed that she was magical. She also got a first name while staying there and picked a last name at random seeing that it meant 'fox' and thought it suited her. When she was ten she had gotten a tiger cub as a companion. He has followed her since then and always has her back and is pretty protective of her.

Skills/Good attributes: She is the best with any weapon she picks up, but her skill with the bow and arrow are almost legendary. She doesn't miss a target unless she makes herself miss it. She's also a real good cook having had to learn by trial and error. Once her friend, she will be loyal to you. Not to mention that her magical properties keep on getting stronger the more she learns about them. Is a fast learner. She is also very light on her feet, allowing her to sneak very easily and able to change her attack within moments.

Skills/Bad attributes: She is socially awkward, and so doesn't know when to stop. She's blunt to the point where it's rude, and when angered will attack without thought, and its almost impossible to draw her out of a rage once in it.

Personality: kind, loyal, valiant, blunt, warm hearted, hot tempered

Abilities: Healing, marksmanship, speaking to animals

Username: TheBlackLegend

Name: Luka Blackwell

Alias: The White Death (he doesn't seem to notice that this is his alias, though)

Age: 15

Race: Shapeshifter

Appearance: A rather average teenager, he stands at about 5'8" and is rather lanky, though he does have a fair bit of muscle from his acrobatics class that he is no longer in. His skin is an average white but a bit tanned as well. His eyes are a pale purple that lean a bit more towards blue, and his hair, which is almost perfectly straight and covers his ears and reaches down a bit to his eyes in the front and almost to his shoulders in the back, is a rustic orange color with some slightly visible dark brown streaks running through it.
As for his clothes, he wears a plain black t-shirt with a tan, hoodless jacket over it. The sleeves of the jacket are rolled up a little past his forearms, which expose an odd, tribal-like marking on his right wrist, and then a black leather bracelet on his left wrist. He has on grey, faded, and slightly torn jeans, and wears converse high-top shoes that are a faded red and white. Around his neck he wears a chain that holds a sharktooth, and hasn't seemed to have parted with this necklace ever since he can remember.

Bio: Adopted and raised by a man named Druas Blackwell, he has never known his real parents and where he's really from. But of course, this never bothered him; having been raised by a doctor who was secretly a murderer but who had a heart of gold, especially for children, Luka had a very decent and cheerful childhood. He knew his adopted father's dark secret, but he still loved the man just the same. He was accepted for who, and what, he was with no question, hiding his shapeshifting abilities from everyone but his father, who loved him dearly.
In the end, however, the darkness didn't stop with Druas...
When his adoptive father mysteriously disappeared after he turned 15, Luka began to notice that with his powers came a price. The more he shifted between his forms, the more he felt urges. Urges to do dark, evil, destructive actions, and it scared him. He couldn't get rid of the powers he was born with, but in a hope to stop the urges, Luka stopped shapeshifting, only transforming if he needed to. But deep down, the darkness is still there, still tempting him... And he knows in his heart that it will do everything to take over.

Skills/Good attributes: Can shift into almost any animal form, and has the abilities of said animal when in that form (For example, has enhanced hearing when in owl form); Is kindhearted and cares for others, and is eager to help without asking for a reward in return; Is flexible and has good balance, being more on the swift and agile side.

Skills/Bad attributes: Has a hidden darker side that, if not kept under check, could take over at any given, random time; Can "exhaust" a form to the point where he can't shift into it for a while; Does have small depression episodes at times, mostly due to having been raised among humans and having never met anyone else that was different in the sense that he is.

Personality: A kindhearted and caring soul, Luka hardly ever passes up the chance to help someone in need, and never asks for a reward in turn. Like everyone he has his fears, but for the most part he is a rather brave young man, willing to take risks if it means saving those in danger. Despite his kindhearted nature, though, he can be easily manipulated if his guard is brought down, which really only happens when the subject of his real parents is brought up.

Ability: Shapeshifting into almost any animal (excluding the mythical creatures since he is technically one himself). He can do so at any time, though if he shifts into a certain form too often it can become unusable for a certain amount of time, usually about two or three days. The exception to this rule is his human form, since he was born as a human and it is considered his "true" form.

Other: He has Multiple Personality Disorder that never showed when he was a child, but it does explain the darker side of him that's recently shown up. However, Luka was never diagnosed with it since his other personality never surfaced until now, so he has no idea he has this issue.

Username: Silvermane

Name/Aliases: Amber Wreave

Age: 22 human years

Race: Human

Appearance: Picture Right HereThis girl stands rather tall at about 5'7, towering over most human girls. She gets her name from her soft amber colored eyes, which appear to have a somewhat green tint. Though her eyes are soft her skin is anything but that. Her hands are rough and hard, covered in calluses from working the forges. Amber's brown hair is rarely ever seen let down from her sloppy bun, as it tends to just get in the way. Many have asked why she doesn't cut it short, she likes to say she wants to believe some part of her still holds a feminine touch. Her clothes are rather drab, robing herself in thick fabric pants and giant gloves so not to burn her hands or legs. Her top is a flame-retardant mesh given to her by her old iron-forging mentor.

Bio: Amber grew on a forge world. A planet both cheering and crying for it's rapid development, leaving marks of iron and steel in the wake of it's industrial revolution. Her home was built on the blood, sweat, and tears of it's workers and now stood strong as a metal city. During the rise of the forge world, city streets were overpopulated with the homeless, scumbags, and street rats. It was this harsh upbringing that forced her to be independent. Luckily she had Basco, her mentor, to teach her the do's and don't's and how to survive this way of life. He taught her how to build structures and blades. Instilling the framework for her morals, hard work, and self-worth. The government of this city was never quite clear to her. It was obvious to her however, someone was far too overpowered, and hiding secrets from the hungry-eyed city, who's fires kept yearning for steel. She helped Basco and other smiths arm the masses to overturn the city and make it a free state. It's chaos ruled ever since, and no man has risen to power.

Skills/Good attributes: Amber has good social skills, and is not easily offended. Her sense of justice is strong, and refuses to allow those who are strong to take advantage of the weak. She's very handy with an anvil and has skills in the art of the forge. She practices many hours a day with the weapons she crafts so she is best using a sword or axe of her own make. Being so close to hot fires and coals every day has also made her more survivable in extreme heats.

Skills/Bad attributes: She's a bit quick to jump to conclusions or accuse people when she has no place to do so, this is the downside to her sense of justice. She also believes anyone holding power is someone to be suspicious of, so she's not very quick to trust anyone with a title or anyone in a high position. Since she fights best with the weapons she makes, if she is unable to use a weapon she's crafted herself, she may get sloppy and leave an opening for a fatal enemy strike.

Personality: Amber is a social butterfly willing to help those in need, her sense of justice is strong but sometimes misplaced. Her friends would describe her as honorable in battle, because she's not one to fight dirty. She strives to be the protector figure in her friend's lives. Amber's sassy attitude earns her friendship with lighthearted people, and rivals with those that are easily offended.

Ability: Semi Fire Resistant, can control/create fire (much like fire-bending from Avatar)
