Okay, there we go. I hope it's good enough. =)

Username: Mateotis
Name: Castiel Devich
Age: 16
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Homeland: VENTUS
Appearance: Castiel has spiky black hair and topaz eyes, which is the same for most Ventan citizens. However, he is noticeably paler than most of his peers, despite all the time he spends outside. The reason for that is unknown to him. His height is below average, but it fits him perfectly. His clothes vary, as he has a fitting outfit for every terrain, it all depends where he wants to go next.
Size: 5'5
Elemental Affinity: Air
Bio: Castiel was born in one of the large, more technologically advanced sities of VENTUS. He was born as the youngest of a rich, but not royal family. Despite that, his parents were very knowledgeable and responsible and didn't pamper him too much. The small Castiel's love for exploring was shown at a very early stage of his life when he almost made it out of the city and got back safely without getting lost once. While his father was the owner of a big industrial corporation with factories all over VENTUS, he didn't force the boy to be his successor. In fact, he supported him in his dream to travel around the world.

When Castiel has already conquered the highest skyscrapers in his city, he decided to push his limits and take on one of the floating metal platforms, which he has heard lots of stories about. He quickly travelled to the nearest one and examined it. It was large, although not as large so that a city could be built on it, but it surely sufficed for the size of a smaller town. He also found out that the only way up is on small stones that orbit these platforms, getting closer and closer to it. He didn't get scared and started to hop to one stone to another in a quick succession. From halfway up, he noticed a massive field of iron sand a mile or so away from him, which was seemingly getting hit by a huge magnetic storm. He could feel its power even from his position. Being truly amazed by such force for the first time, he decided to unravel the massive powers still untouched by any race. Even if that takes him to another continent.

Personality: Castiel is a more-than-typical Air person. He is extremely easy-going, loves to explore and is very curious. His dream is to get to another continent once, as he thinks he has already seen everything in VENTUS. He rarely thinks of the consequences of his actions, which has got him into trouble more than once. He also tends to be impatient and thus doesn't plan for things much, but goes in as quick as possible. Other than that, he's very lovable and friendly if you look past his bad attributes. Lastly, he always keeps up with the tech advancements.
Skills: Castiel has excellent agility and he is very quick as well.
Equipment: His trusty backpack, which he always has on his back.
Other: -
Interested!

Will post a CS surely when I get home. ^^
Ryan didn't get an answer from Takiko, but he did get the recently-awaken man's hostile remarks, referring to his long katana sitting on his belt, without an actual sheath. He didn't understand why he would suddenly attack him verbally when he just noticed him, but he knew that being knocked out for a good while and then waking up somewhere else is not the best experience one could have. He was just about to reply when Takiko took the lead and introduced him briefly.

"Yep, I'm Ryan. Sorry if I disturbed you too much, I didn't mean to. I don't have a real expertise with guns, that's why I prefer to fight with swords." he told him, answering the man's vulgar question calmly. He knew from a long time that fighting fire with fire leads nowhere. Suddenly, Takiko turned to him and asked if he had found anything interesting. She was mostly interested in medical items, most probably for the still unknown man. He really wanted to get to know his name by now, but it wasn't the most pressing matter at that time...and the guy himself didn't look too cooperative either. Instead, he quickly answered:

"Unfortunately, I didn't find anything we could use - except for an old computer in the neighbouring house. It looks functional, but we can't use for much without electricity right now. As for painkillers, I've brought some with myself from my old home. Just a sec." he put his backpack down, opened it and after a minute or so of searching, he finally found the medicine. "There, that's all I've got." he said and gave what he found to her. He thought for a second if giving all the painkillers he has got away, but he trusted his abilities of staying relatively uninjured. The most possible injury that could happen in the current conditions was the bite of a creature. And once you get bitten, painkillers won't really help.

Ryan looked outside. It was getting darker and darker. He knew that once night hits, it's a suicide to move even one step out of safety. But their house wasn't the best place of surviving either - no fortifications, only a fence and an average wooden door stood between them and those terrible creatures. Being able to sleep in these conditions was not likely, but he was getting very tired...

I know! I just can't get into character haha.


Well, it looks like you can get into my character so that you call me by his name. :P

Your posts are fine Ducky :-)I'm working on one right now but I kinda have writers block so it's gonna take a while. Bleh.


Wah, I hate those. Once you run out of the original inspiration it's hard to continue writing. Although it rarely happens to me, it's still annoying.
To his great disappointment, Ryan didn't find anything useful except for a handy pocket knife in one of the drawers. What he did find though - personal stuff. Pictures, writings about the family that used to live here. Even though he did not know if they were alive or not, he respected their privacy and left the findings alone. That is, until he found one on the kitchen floor, blood stained. It had the whole family on it, all five of them. Two little kids as well. They all looked very happy, completely unaware about the lifechanging catastrophe that was about to hit humanity. "Life doesn't play fair..." he murmured to himself and shed a tear. He decided to put the picture in his bag, to keep their legacy alive, even though he didn't know anything about them. After that, he thought about his own family. Last time they spoke they just arrived to the safehouse without any problems. He hoped they don't worry too much about him and live peacefully.

Deeming this house completely out of useful things, he carefully went out on the backdoor to check the nearby ones as well. He scouted them when he first got here - they were all free of those creatures, fortunately. Still, he kept his katana out and his pistol close, just in case. The house to the right was smaller than theirs, but was a lot more stuffed. Unfortunately, most of them was useless junk. He found a few still eatable tin cans in the fridge and that was it. He proceeded to the next one. To his biggest surprise, he found what was treasure to him inside - a computer! Although it looked old, it still had all of its wires in place and every part of it ready to use. Maybe he could program it to send a signal or try to contact fellow survivors, but first, he had to turn it on, which was impossible without electricity. He left disappointed, but hopeful that they will be able to get it back to work in the future. Being tired, he decided to give up on the search for today and head back to their "headquarters" and check on Takiko.

Back in their temporary home, he was shocked to see that the man who had been unconscious this whole time, has waken up. His eyes were open and he was murmuring something to himself, while Takiko used her own jacket to cover him. Indeed, it was getting colder. Ryan approached silently, not wanting to shock the still unstable man and whispered a question into her ear:
"When did he wake up and how is he now?"

are carlee and willie eventually gonna meet other people? its kinda lonely.


I thought about the possibility of all the characters meeting up somewhere. Not sure when/where/how though.
Ryan and Takiko soon started taking the dead weight man upstairs. He held the feet, which meant that he had the easier job, because he did not have to look behind himself constantly. However, the weight was the same on both ends and he needed to muster all of his strength to even lift him up. Surprisingly, holding and taking him was slightly easier, but he knew he won't be able to hold on for too long. They moved slowly, but surely, step by step up the stairs. As he expected, the man felt heavier with every step they made and his arms started aching after the first set of stairs as well. Fortunately, they reached the hallway quick enough. They carefully put the guy down and took a short break. Ryan let out a relieved "Phew", even though he knew it wasn't over. While his companion was busy with her hair, he did a few swings with his arms to make sure they won't cramp nor ache too much when they get upstairs.

After two minutes or so, they continued the process and reached the ground floor, where Takiko said that the room to the right should suffice for the man. That was practically the only room in the house with a wide enough bed and even that was poorly equipped, he remembered. They slowly put down the guy on the bed, finally getting rid of the heavy "cargo". The girl quickly sat down on the bed looking very exhausted and Ryan was soon to follow. "Oh gosh...Finally." he sighed. He thought about the possibility of those creatures suddenly breaking in the house when they were the weakest and sure preys, but he quickly chased away these thoughts. Takiko suddenly stood up and went away saying she will grab her stuff, leaving him with the - still unconscious and unknown- man. He took a closer look and made sure he was still breathing and had a close-to-healthy pulse as well. After that he looked out on the window, just above the bed. He saw two creatures outside, but to his biggest relief, they were just walking around aimlessly and soon disappearing from sight.

Ryan had the quirk of staring seemingly purposelessly out in the infinite, getting deep in his thoughts and it was the case this time too, as he didn't even notice her coming back. When he finally came back to reality he noticed that she had several scrathes and wounds on herself as well. Healing someone else is one thing, but healing yourself is a lot harder and that's why he decided he will do something useful as well:

"This day is coming close to an end. I'll look through the house for some possibly useful supplies, okay? I saw a thing or two we might need when I first came here." he said as he grabbed his flashlight.

@Mateotis: took you along, hope that's fine??


Surely it is, no worries. Sorry for not taking the story any further in my post. Anyways, loving it so far. =)
Even though Ryan's task wasn't the most challenging, he tried to make the best out of it by carefully paying attention how Takiko was doing her work. Medical knowledge can be very important especially in these days, as their current situation shows it as well. So far, he handled blood surprisingly well, only shaking for a few seconds every now and then, but he always kept that flashlight steady.

The operation took plenty of time, both of them stayed silent during it. Finally, after she has closed all the wounds, she turned to Ryan announcing that after she bandages the man, they can take him upstairs, to a more ideal enviroment for a knocked out person after an operation. The bandaging was rather quick comparing it to the rest of the process and it could be seen that Takiko felt a massive relief after she had finished with everything. Of course, she most probably saved a life. Although she hid it as much as she could, Ryan could still see that she was a little exhausted, but unyielding after all that happened. Impressive, he thought. The girl finally looked up to him, asking him to turn off the flashlight.

"Okay, there we go. Amazing work, but we're still not done yet, are we?" he said, not even waiting for an answer. Using "we" was a little unsettling to him as the only thing he did was holding that flashlight. But, after all, she was the one with the expertise, him interfering would've just caused problems. Seeing that Takiko started packing up, he quickly threw down and checked through his own backpack, which, fortunately, still had everything. He was surprised to see that she didn't plan to bring her own stuff just yet, but all she wanted to bring the man up.

"Fine for me, let's do it."
