(Tuulyn Shuurga Chirina)

---

Age:

19

Gender:

Female

Race:

Human

Job:

Main Gunnery Officer/ Tactician

---

Personality:

Rough, like the stormy sea, Chirina can be, at times, rather uncomfortable to be around. She drives herself and others to be as perfect as they can possibly be and doesn’t take no for an answer. Still, just the same, she has difficulties with people who think they are higher in standings than she is, no matter if they have the right of it or not.

Outside of her job, she can sometimes seem like she doesn’t care about things as she goes about things laissez-faire, but she certainly is far from being a girly girl, the opposite being true. However, she is starting to develop into a leader and seeing some of the error in her disrespectful ways, though she still has a good amount to go.

Chirina loves combat and battle. Gaining glory in battle is her highest purpose and she sees no bigger goal in life than that of glory and honour for her clan. That is why she can fall into a sort of state of bloodlust, a state of combat trance that can make her lose focus of the bigger battle, another thing she has to overcome, even if that bloodlust makes her terrifying to go against alone.

History

Chirina was born into a tribe of nomads, restless, always sailing the seas as the daughter of the chieftain, the Khaan. Her clan is a very old one, stemming from before the flooding when her clan lead her people on horseback roaming the steppes. Now, her people switched to boats, never staying on a single island for more than a year harvesting the resources to then move to another island using those resources instead. This kind of “island rotation” allows islands to ecologically recover before her tribe would revisit an island.

Growing up in such an environment, she learned everything about navigation and sailing from an early age, since in her smallish tribe, every member counted and so even children had to work with the group and learn to become less of a burden and more of a benefit to her tribe.

And such, when she reached “maturity”, meaning 14 for her tribe, she learned the art of combat. In her tribe’s nomadic ways, they came across many enemies, from orc raiding parties, to pirates, to monsters. But even her tribe did not shy away from raiding themselves, so, at the age of 15, Chirina participated in her first raid in which she killed her first humans, her quickness, bloodlust and developing magical ability earning herself the epithet “storm”, Shuurga, in the language of her people, honour and glory being a cornerstone of her people’s society.

After turning 18, she, together with her father, the Khaan, decided, it would be time for her to learn how to be a leader, since she, as the eldest child of the Khaan, was going to take over for her father as leader of the tribe.
They decided, it would be best for Chirina to gain experience leading somewhere else and so, she went to sign up for a mercenary crew that would be doing exactly what she was already doing, extinguishing pirates, though her first crew turned out to be a bunch of babbling, incompetent idiots, who managed to get themselves killed in the first encounter, herself being the only uninjured survivor steering the ship and the loot safely back to harbour, where she, having just turned 19 that day, signed up on another ship that had a much better track record, as far as she had heard, so… she hopes, they won’t suck as much as the last one….

Life in a strange realm

Niyu

Her skin felt dry. Going even a couple of days without having herself covered in water completely made her feel really unwell. Niyu sighed and slowly waddled to the stream, her flippers making locomotion on land a bit harder for her than most. She stepped into the shallow river, the water playing around her feet.
Sadly, she couldn't immerse herself in the water of the nearby lake. According to several people in the camp, the lake was cursed, so she wasn't allowed to swim in it, which made her really sad.
Sighing, she flopped backwards into the small stream, the water covering her as much as she can make it to do so, the cold wetness spreading over her exposed skin and the cloth made out of her scales that she always wears.

She wasn't really happy with her position in the camp at the moment. There was literally nothing she could do. No body of water in the proximity was fishable and so, she couldn't contribute to the camp much, other than waddling around evil-eyeing people.
Especially now, that new people have started to literally drop into camp, she felt useless.

Still a bit sour, she got up, took her spear and returned to patrolling, everything, from her skin to her hair, glistening with water droplets.

Torako

Pain. White. White Pain. Everything hurt. Blinding light, burning. Compressing, shrinking, growing, swelling. Different feelings all over the body, everywhere.
And then, colours. Greens and browns, some blues, but mostly greens. A soft impact onto plant surfaces...

Eyes were opened. The pain had numbed, but everything felt wrong. Everything was different, the air even felt different.
But that was due to the fur now covering the entire body... A shocked gasp escaped the mouth. But the gasp sounded wrong, too high. A hand moved to the throat, but even that felt wrong. Not only did the throat lose its Adam's apple, but also the hands were different. Claws tipped the slim fingers on the slim hands, both covered in fur, orange on top with black stripes, white on the underside.

"Ehh?", a slightly scratchy, but indistinguishably female voice exclaimed. A scramble to a stream later, a cute female, humanoid tiger's head peered back... at HER. It was unmistakable, she was female now. She looked down at her furred, humanoid tigress' body, small bumps extended from her chest and the fur-covered crotch did not leave her sex to the imagination.
But at least she was lean. Her body looked athletic, long legs stretched out from her lean torso, though her new feet, including paw pads and a digitgrade stance. A long tail curled around her legs, too.

"What happened... why am I a girl...? What am I...?"
But it did not seem like she was alone... A camp, though quite rundown, stretched out in a little clearing in front of her.
Slowly, she got up, wobbly on her new legs and uncomfortable with her new way of walking, so she stumbled towards the camp, maybe there, somebody could help her, explain to her what had happend, who she was, et cetera.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

The loud sound of turbines howling out as the craft approached the mooring at Beacon. Blaire stared out the window at the massive academy complex. Replacing her sister at the academy had seemed really silly at first, but as usual, Skyra was very good at convincing people... well, mostly her. Apparently, her convincing skills weren't as refined when it came to others. But in the end, going to Beacon was the only legal way to become a huntress, so she had to go here and Skyra offering her place up in exchange was a good deal for both of them. Especially now that Skyra had missions to do.

With a bit of a jerk, the docking clamps caught the aircraft and Blaire had to concentrate to not fall over, but she managed.
Why did they have to make this docking jerky like this...

She shook her head and proceeded to disembark, her blade clinking a bit as she moved across the gangway and onto the cobblestones of Beacon.
Looking around, she saw that everything lay quiet, probably because Blaire did in face come to the school during 5th period and not before or after a period.

Whatever, it didn't really matter. Steadily and assuredly, Blaire marched towards the entrance of the academy hoping to find something there that would lead her to wherever she was needed to report in.

In the lobby, though, she encountered somebody she presumed to be a teacher, a gruff dude, sure, but he did not seem like a student at all.
"Hey, you. Are you a teacher here? New student here, I was told to report in somewhere. Where do I need to head to?", she casually asked the man. Rank did not seem to matter to Blaire much and as such, she seemed rather crude and impolite.

Torako

Name: Torako

Appearance:

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Race: Tiger girl

Magic:

Magic carpenting:

Torako's magic allows her to shape rough wood to her will without having to physically saw, cut and nail things together. She only needs the materials for the construction around and she can, hands on, form the wood together into whatever form she wants.

Personality:

Torako is cheerful and happy, seemingly excited every second of the day, which contrasts with what her body had went through coming through that wormhole. On the outside, it seems that she is okay being a girl now and being half animal, but when alone and in her mind, she is struggling a lot with it. Though, she always tells herself, that is could have been worse, since society is so different in this world, she has dark thoughts and cries herself to sleep more often than not. But in the morning, she hides her feelings well, but distress will always reach her again, whenever some of her animal instincts surface or when she is reminded again of what she is now. However, it appears that she is slowly, day by day, edging closer to acceptance, seeing as she is already happy that she gained a lot of years of her life.

Background:

Born male in the previous world, under a different name than now, Torako grew up an orphan and had to overcome crushing loneliness. This is when he grew very fond of animals and caring for them, but he also learned to handle himself and survive on his own.
When he grew older, he applied to work at the local zoo and slowly worked his way up to caring for the tigers.
Over the years, the tigers grew to like him and even let him care for their kits. This was when it happened. One day he was working with the daughter of the first kit he ever was able to care for when, right in the middle of the cage, a portal opened up and sucked both the kit and him in.
Terrible pain racked him as his body changed. When he arrived in the other world, he was over half his age, half-tiger-human... and female.

Equipment:

Nothing.

Niyu

Name: Niyu

Appearance:

Age: 16

Gender: female

Race: Sahuagin

Magic:

Hydromancy - Niyu is capable of manipulating and creating liquid in various ways, such as purifying liquid into clean water or summoning a small rain storm. Miyu is capable of more powerful spells too such as making a geyser of water shoot out from the ground, but creating the water for her spells is much more taxing then just manipulating whatever water is nearby. Two common ways she uses a little bit of water is turning the water into a shield to intercept and absorb attacks, or into a prehensile whip she can use to grab or slash opponents from a distance.

Personality:

Niyu is cold and fairly silent. Like a hunter, she only watches when there is nothing to do, and acts when she's most useful. She only says something when it is necessary to do so and she often finds that actions say more then words. A lot of the time, she appears fairly emotionless, her voice usually also not giving away much of her internal feelings. Niyu was never really given the chance to express herself emotionally, and thus has harden her heart and simply acts autonomously. Niyu doesn't feel sympathy and when she does have emotions she just bottles it up and away from others.

Background:

It takes a village to raise a child, and that's especially true when the child has no parents. Niyu was orphaned at birth and subsequently taken care of by various people in her clan, however no one ever took care of her for long. They always shifted responsibility of her to others for one reason or another, often because Niyu had failed at some task or spoke out and was deemed undesirable. This taught Niyu to hold her tongue and hide the feelings in her heart in order to appease others who were taking care of her. She tried to learn everything she could to make them happy, but try as she might she would always be known as the clan's troubled child.

Niyu lived with some of her species in a nearby lake system. When the mysterious camp appeared the heads of her clan tried to estimate the danger that a camp that had been erected close by posed. They needed more information but they could not risk any of their own, so Niyu was sent to do espionage for her clan. Niyu has hunted before and thought that she could try to use those skills to spy on the camp. However stalking prey was different then stalking people. It wasn't long before she was discovered. Niyu tried to flee but she was apprehended by the camp members. She tried to fight but she was easily overpowered and outnumbered. She thought it was going to be the end for her. But then one of the members of the camp approached her with offer: she could either work with them, or she could die right there. Niyu never had a choice in life and this was hardly a choice she wanted to make. But she didn't want to die either so she joined the camp.

Equipment:

Harpoon - A spear Niyu uses to hunt for hunting. She can throw it far, accurately, and very fast, and use her magic to retrieve it after she throws it.

Hello, hello, my former friends and other people :D
I am returning. Who am I? Well, I used to play that little character called Skyra. :P
Lots of stuff happened while I was gone... including, as you can see, a username change.
But, as far as I am planning right now, Skyra will return. Either that or people convince me to play a new character :P

Aaaanyway ^.^
