Ascension: Monster Farm

@Rai
Though he couldn't see, the commotion caused by the other children over some sort of traveler visiting the village caught Nathaniel's attention. Slowly making his way toward the sounds of wonder and joy, he heard the stranger calling for the youth of the village to try their hand at taming monsters, and as a gift, offered to provide them with their first monster.

As a blind Orphan, many in the village treated Nathaniel as if he were worthless, and would never amount to anything; this was his chance to prove them wrong! As he hastily made his way towards the man, his acute hearing picked up something that made him stop.

Nearby, some of the older kids, who had been turned away, were bragging about how they managed to steal one of the monsters while the traveler wasn't looking. Marching up to the thieves, Nathaniel reached out to grab whatever it was that was stolen, "That isn't yours!" he exclaimed as he felt his hand wrap around a smooth sphere. A fight over the object ensued, before Nathaniel slipped and fell back, something slimy suddenly wrapped around his hand.

As heads began to turn, the true culprits did not hesitate to frame Nathaniel for their misdeed, shouting claims that they tried to stop him.

Nathanial Bright

Name: Nathanial Bright

Appearance:

Age: 15

Inventory: Nothing but survival essentials and the clothes on his back.

Monster Team:

• Armis Viventum

  Appearance: An Armis looks like an animate suit of dragonplate armor, but on closer inspection, it is evident that it is actually a form of chitin. Each Armis starts it's life cycle as a single piece of finger armor, taking around two weeks to grow into a gauntlet, then about several months to reach the size of an arm. From there, it takes an Armis about five years to develop a torso, and then 2 years to complete the maturation process. Every ten years after reaching maturity the Armis' fingers fall off, beginning the cycle again. On the other hand, an Armis that bonds to a host will mature within two years after bonding.
  
  Each individual Armis has it's own subtle uniqueness, no two the same. However, beyond that, it's looks are influenced heavily by either it's host, or the souls it has devoured, or a combination of the two.
  
  Species name: Armis Viventum
  
  Food source: In it's infancy, an Armis only survives off of ambient magics and microscopic organisms. However, once it grows to be the size of a torso, it begins feeding off residual soul essence, and once full grown, it hunts for prey, killing it with it's strength, and devouring it's prey's soul.
  
  However, an Armis that has bonded to a host will survive strictly on it's host's magic throughout it's entire life cycle, but can still devour souls if it's host wills it so.
  
  In the event an Armis cannot feed on souls, or magic energy, it will enter a state of suspended animation, ceasing it's growth, as well as halting all biological functions, until it once again is able to feed.
  
  Size: Size and shape vary according to what souls they have most commonly been exposed to, but Armai always take the shape of a set of armor made to be worn by a descendant.
  
  Natural abilities: All Armai that bond to a descendant gift their host with regeneration, as well as new, and increased abilities all around. Even with out a host, Armai have incredible regenerative capabilities, and their chitin is incredibly durable. Other abilities and traits are determined by the host they have bonded to, or by the souls they have devoured.
  
  Additionally, the host of an Armis can manipulate their Armis' shape and form with enough practice and concentration.
  
  Magical abilities: All magical abilities and traits (other than devouring souls) are completely dependent on the host they have bonded to, or by the souls they have devoured.
  
  Usual Temperaments: Armai that have not developed a torso yet tend to be very docile and curious. However, Armai that have reached full maturity are reasonably intelligent, and have been even seen using spells and weaponry. Unfortunately this new intelligence is accompanied by a massive spike in aggression; any mature Armis that did not bond to a host only seeks to grow it's power.
  
  How?
  
  By devouring souls.
  
  Locations Found: Armai are found in the area around the converging borders of Vrondi, Gaia, and Fotia.
  
  Weakness: Armai that do not have a host hold a core in the center of their torso, that, if broken, kills the Armis.
  
  Armai are also temporarily weakened by sonic attacks
• Acquizari

  Appearance:

  (This picture is it's initial form, it's appearance varies as it continues to evolve)
  
  Species name: Acquizari
  
  Food source: Anything that can fit into it's mouth
  
  Size: Initially 6-9 inches tall, and about 20 pounds (subject to change in the future)
  
  Natural abilities: These beetles are born with rock hard carapaces as well as insectoid wings. However, their most notable feature is that they absorb the most beneficial trait of whatever they consume, slowly evolving to become more and more powerful. (abilities change and vary over time)
  
  Magical abilities: It's absorption ability could also be considered magical as well. (abilities change and vary over time)
  
  Usual Temperaments: In their original form, Acquizari are very timid, docile, and easily frightened (as they are incredibly weak when young)
  
  However, ones that survive into adulthood tend to be dangerously intelligent, and hell-bent on reaching the pinnacle of evolution
  
  Locations Found: Native to the Neroan wilderness west of Twilight town
  
  Weaknesses: Nigh helpless while young, most are weak to fire for a great deal of their lives.

Mason Drake

@Jollan@Rai@geurls@Brithwyr
Without warning, the woman in Mason's arms began to bleed, prompting him to immediately look back only to realize that a large chain was moments away from ripping away what he was trying so hard to protect.

Shifting the unconscious woman to his right shoulder, Mason spun around, leveling a defiant glare at the monster below him. The chain did hit, but not what it was intended for. As it wrapped around his arm, the young Seraphim's eyes glowed brightly with electric blue light as he channeled a large discharge into the chain, the arcs of lightning searing his flesh as they entered the metal

Suddenly, Mason felt his shoulder get ripped from it's socket with a violent jerk as the chain began to slide down his arm. Fighting against it with all his strength, he managed to slip from the metallic grasp, before shooting down the mountain, the old woman held tightly against his body.
