Skills:
Free Running
Highly Trained in the martial art of Vir-Vensei, the way of the wyvern.
Blademaster
Stealth
Weaknesses:
An ceaseless hatred for the Dark Elves, causes her to lose focus and become sloppy.
The link between the body and mind, the condition of one affects the other.
Personality: Scion is a very hard person to read. She rarely shows emotion and when she does it's so rare that it's hard to figure out if it's genuine. This is not through any choice of hers however. Being trained from practically birth as a calculating assassin can do that to you.
History: Within the Great Mirastian Desert there are no kingdoms, no expansive territories, only the city states. These independent cities are the bastions of civilization within the vast sand sea. In the village of Qismari, a child was born. The trials she was forced to endure would set her down a path she could not turn from. The village of Qismari is a border village at the edge of the Dead Sea near Ash Elf territory and has experienced multiple Nalrok incursions in the past. The parents of the child were one of the unfortunate souls to be lost in a raid. Normally a child in this situation would simply grow up on their own on the streets. But this was not to be the girl's fate. After having to watch her father butchered and her mother raped a great anger grew within her. She vowed to avenge her family by slaying the Ash Elf king.
After the funeral rites were concluded the girl took all she had left of her family and home and set out for the city of Khetamut. Her choice of city was not random, Khetamut is known to be home to the most mysterious, secretive, and efficient assassin clan in the Great Mirastian Desert. The Order of The Chimera, simply The Chimera, took her in but not without a price. The girl was put through training so intense and brutal most do not survive the process and if they do they are practically brainwashed. The girl finished her training but with no memory of who she was. She knew her past, her reasons for joining, but not who she was. The girl was a new person, a newborn at twenty years of age. This was when her work began.
As a member of The Order she would often receive targets to do whatever it was her employers wished of her. Often it was to kill, sometimes to capture, and occasionally to torture. The girl became very proficient in her work and her reputation soon earned her the nickname "The White Wyvern" for her white hood and frequent use of poison coated weapons. For five years she served The Order loyally, rising up the ranks until she achieved the status of Master Chimera at age twenty-four. For a while it seemed The Order was all there was to her life until soon after being made Master Chimera.
A month after being made Master Chimera, Scion was assigned a high priority task. Strange anomalies have been seen in the Dead Sea. Fearing this could mean a coming Black Crusade, The Order has granted her a team of five fellow assassins to aid her in her quest. Should she find anything indicating a Crusade she would have one of her men send word back to The Order as she would be tasked with delivering that information to The Sentinels.
Weapons:
The Arakh
The Bow
The Dagger
Other: The Order of The Chimera has long since stopped using Chimera for its mounts as they proved to be quite unpredictable what with their multiple heads...that and Chimera today are very rare. Instead Scion uses a Wyvern she has named "Akre" as her mount.
Jessie bumped into someone as she followed after Kate. Turning around to see who she found she realized it was Aaron. "Oh hey C'mon" Jessie said grabbing his hand and running him through the crowd towards kate. Once she got the information she then headed over to the dorms. Jessie was a rather fast runner. She hoped Aaron could keep up because she wasn't gonna go looking for him after they found Cinderella. Jessie headed up the stairs, then into the hallway. She let go of Aaron's. now that they were at their destination Aaron wouldn't be lost again. "Look for an open door" Jessie told him walking down the corridor.
Aaron
"Hey what's u-", Aaron didn't get to finish his sentence before Jess grabbed his hand and lead him through the party and to the dorms. "IS SHE SERIOUSLY DOING THIS?!", he thought but the idea was quickly put down once he heard Kate giving some directions and Jess relaying it to him. "Why are we doing this again?", he asked as he ran by the doors looking for one that wasn't closed. He didn't notice it at first but he actually ran past the door they were searching for and quickly made a double take towards the mystery door. "Hey I think I found it!", he said as he thought "Whatever IT is".
Kathryn
"Hey wait up!", Kate called as she ran after Jess and Aaron. The two didn't bother to wait for her so she simply went off to check the doors they hadn't reached yet. She had an idea of where it was thanks to the foliage but the number of the room was unknown. It took a moment before she found the room but that was only because she was focused on the doors and not Aaron who she was blindly running towards. The two clashed and fell to the ground with a thud leaving both of them feeling some form of pain somewhere. "Damn Kat watch where you're going!", Aaron groaned as he rubbed his shoulder which had the displeasure of falling on. Kate who had hit her head into Aaron's was on the ground trying to get herself together as she replied, "You seriously couldn't hear me running towards you?!"
"You're an-", he stopped himself before the word "Elf" came out. Remembering where he was he whispered the rest of his sentence, "You're an elf! Aren't you all light on your feet or something"
Nickname: The Ash King, Lord of the Deadlands, Wrath of Rheasa
Weapon:
Personality: Sardis is a fair but stern ruler. As military leader his duty to protect the kingdom is above all others. He hold very conservative ideals and is unlikely to welcome outsiders into the kingdom unless for special cause. He holds the old ways with high esteem for while he is wise enough to consider options other than war he will not hesitate to wage it if angered enough.
Bio: From birth it was known that Sardis would become a warrior. The boy had an interest in combat his elders described as, "The goddess put her rage in that boy". From young Sardis would train himself in multiple form of combat: sword, spear, bow, even with daggers a weapon considered to be the tool of cowards. Sardis was also a born leader making many friends during his childhood and being seen as their leader very early on.
At the age of eighteen Sardis took the trails and it was no surprise to anyone when he was determined to be best in the military. He served valiantly and quickly won renown amongst his fellow soldiers. During a civil war Sardis was promoted to the rank of Voltaris(equivalent to Captain) and he was charged with the overseeing of suppressing the rebellion. He succeeded and was awarded an estate and status in the noble class.
Sardis' service in the military was not over as a second rebellion arose. This time due to a member of the noble class named Larthoran claimed a right to the throne. The war raged on for sometime until The Seige of the Royal Palace. Larthoran made his way into the palace where Sardis had been stationed to defend the previous royal family. He failed to prevent the family's murder by Larthoran but he did avenge them that day. With no heir to the throne it was decided by the representatives to elect Sardis the new king and his wife, whom he met during the first civil war, queen. The two now rule as King and Queen of the Kingdom of Nalrok with their daughter, Princess Ariya.
More Info: King Sardis is currently dealing with a small insurrection group known as "The Scions of the Umbral Goddess" who wish to establish an independent faction within the northern mountains. They are a fanatically religious group who if allowed would create a fundamentalist theocracy.
Queen Niranyia Taroth
Age: 45
Nickname: The Ash Queen, High Priestess of Rheasa, The Oracle
Weapon:
Personality: Niranyia is a compassionate soul who puts her people first, however she knows well the art of subterfuge and intrigue. Her love for her people and protective nature towards the realm is matched only by her willingness to do whatever is necessary to protect all she holds dear.
Bio: Niranyia was born in the commoner class and was the daughter of a representative. As such Niranyia had a desire to serve the people but not in the same fashion as her father. She would often venture out of the mountain and into the plainslands below in search of game to hunt, bringing them back and giving to the people for free anonymously. This earned her a reputation as "The Altruist" among the people. She kept up this persona until one day her father caught her sneaking out in the outfit of The Altruist. Her identity was revealed and her popularity among the commoners grew exponentially.
On her eighteenth birthday she took the trails but unlike her father who was a representative she was assigned to scouting. It was during the first civil war she met her future husband Sardis. The two often worked together as the scouts were required to retrieve enemy intelligence. The two married after the wars end and had a child then.
Princess Ariya
Age: 28
Nickname: Ari
Weapon:
Personality: Ariya is a rebellious girl which is not normal amongst the Nalrokar. She does not care much for tradition, the trials, even the throne. Her main concern is for her people. She hopes to end their policy of isolationism but loathes the idea of ruling. She'd much rather prefer being out of the mountains and with the rest of the world.
Bio: Ariya was born before the second civil war. Growing up having to watch her father leave for long periods of time made her curious of the outside world. She began to feel caged within the mountains and yearned to see what was out there. She was not the only one however, a childhood friend of hers named Sehrai also felt this way. The two girls would often sneak out to the surface and explore the nearby forests. This did not sit well with her father who once king forbade her from continuing to do so. Her mother was more lenient about it and managed to convince Sardis to let her explore.
At eighteen she took the trails, despite being royalty(the royal family, specifically the children of the king and queen do not have to take the trials as it is expected of them to succeed their parents), and the results showed her capable of being a Insidiari, an Assassin in service to the crown. Her father as usual did not approve but allowed her to take on this profession until the time would come for her to take the throne.
Other: Ariya is not like the average Ash Elf. She was born with a rare mutation called "Rheasa's Blessing". Her eyes are,unlike most Ash Elves who have pure white eyes, black with bright blue pupils. These eyes are capable of seeing the finest details in anything be it tiny scribbles etched into a rockface or words on parchment that have long since been washed or written over.
The Nalrokar AKA The Ash Elves
Surface entrance to the capital city, Narasthia
Tribe description: The Nalrokar are a war loving people, one massive kingdom whose territory encompasses much of The Sentinel Mountains and smaller settlements in the nearby forests and plains. Customs:
Housing: A underground network within The Sentinel Mountains. All structures are made of stone with precious metals lining the walls of the palace. The capital city, Narasthia, is located within the highest mountain in the Sentinel Mountain Range. The entrance to Narasthia is a small outer city somewhere on the snowy face of the mountain. Within the actual city is an immense cavern with the city buildings carved out of the mountain. The streets are lit with glowstones and lava flows in the lower areas of the mountain.
Food: There are no fauna within the mountains so the Ash Elves hunt, gather, and often pillage from the surrounding forests and plainslands. As for plant life, a large variety grow within the mountains. The Nalrokar are famous for their mastery of alchemy and their potions, poultices, and healing tonics are highly sought after. That is if they are willing to trade.
Education: Children receive an education until the age of 18. At 18 they are given a series of tests to determine their place in society.
Military: Those who pass the test and are determined as soldiers are the only ones serving in the military for combat roles. If the situation requires all members of the kingdoms can be recruited into service.
Weaponry: Most common weapons are spears, swords, and bows.
Society: Very war-loving and isolationist. Not always friendly to outsiders and often hostile.
Politics: There are representatives of the people who present the problems of the commonfolk to the King and queen who decide on what course of action to take. The two combined share equal power over the legislature of the kingdom.
Leadership: A Monarchy with a King and Queen holding equal power. The King controls the military. The Queen controls the spiritual aspect of the kingdom. There is a noble class but they are not nobility in the sense they are capable of taking the throne. These nobles are individuals who have served the kingdom well and are given privileged lives in society as a reward from the King and Queen. If the current king and queen die with no child to take the throne a noble is elected king or queen by the representatives.
Diplomacy: Isolationist, outsiders not welcome in their territory unless given permission. Easily taking to war either for revenge or for conquest and plunder.
Laws: Violent crimes(Murder, Assault, etc.) are settled with Arbitration. All others are settled by a judge.
Punishment: When suspected of a violent crime the accused will fight to prove their innocence in "The Arbitration", their opponent is a warrior chosen by the people. Non violent crimes are given a punishment befitting the crime.
Religion: The Mother Goddess Rheasa, overseer of life and death. Through the manipulation of the physical world creates life, through the manipulation of the living creates death. There are multiple minor spirits who are not worshiped but are revered.
Religious Celebration: Festival of Life every spring, Festival of death every fall. Prayer services to the goddess every sunrise and sunset. Various other celebrations throughout the months.

The Ash Elves originate from the island of Nalrana but migrated to the mainland. The reasons why were unclear in the history books
Upon impact with the alien moon AMAD Unit-1385 went offline. Moments later it's system rebooted and the droid was once again operating. RUNNING SYSTEMS DIAGNOSTICS...MOTOR CONTROL OPTIMAL//OPTICAL SENSORS OPERATIONAL//AUDIO RECORDER AND RESPONSE SYSTEMS FULLY FUNCTIONAL//MAIN MEMORY BANK DATA CORRUPTED//AI RESPONSE PERSONALITY MATRIX 5% DAMAGED//SEEK REPAIRS WHEN POSSIBLE, if machines had human thoughts this was what went through its "mind" as it performed a self diagnosis. Once that was complete it removed itself from its seat in the lifepod to examine its podmates. "Proceeding with Identification scan: Vivian Lovell, Age 28, Female, Biologist, No Injuries Detected. "Delta Silver", Active Time 27 Years, Technician. John Reynolds, Age 30, Male, Project Manager, No Injuries Detected.", once the podmates were identified and given a brief look over Unit-1385 looked to the viewing window of the pod. From examination of the area it appeared to be lacking oxygen within its atmosphere. While unnecessary for a machine it obviously was a problem for Unit-1385's human podmates. Unit-1385 began to perform maintenance on its memory banks and personality matrix when it discovered a possibly fatal malfunction. Fatal not so much to itself but more to the crew. After receiving a good amount of force to its CPU causing a malfunction in the defense programs. "Calculating Outcome-possibility of hostile behavior to crew due to malfunction in threat detector. Possibly of program degradation at 78%", the escape pod lacked the required parts to repair Unit-1385's CPU so until rescue arrived he was in danger of injuring his crewmates at any possible moment. "Placing safety priority to crewmembe-ERROR-command could not be identified".
Just as things were about to get good the fight was broken up. Aaron sighed as he walked away from the scene,"Just when things were getting exciting. Might as well head to The Cave". Aaron was about to hop on his board and leave campus when he remembered Jess was going to come along. Picking back up his board Aaron looked around to find the girls but to no avail. The crowd was too thick meaning Aaron had the tedious task of sifting through them to find Jess and Kate. At one point he thought he found her but when he got in front of her it turned out to be someone entirely, "Sorry about that" he apologized before continuing on to find the girls. "If I knew it be this much trouble I would have stayed with them", he thought as he frustratingly looked on.
Kathryn
Kate nodded in agreement after hearing Jess say they needed to find the girl. She only wished their Cinderella hadn't vanished after her performance but then again at least she was continuing to make the night interesting. Kate looked around but like Jess she found nothing. It took her a moment to realize the search wasn't over, running over to a nearby tree Kate placed her hand on the bark and in an instant she felt what the tree felt. The slightest breeze, every vibration, the neural network of plants all around campus communicating information about the students and the grounds of Orean Cause. It was a flood of information but after much effort Kate managed to filter out the excess information to show her only what she wanted. The plants had collected the sounds of the party nearby along with the vibrations resonating off of the bodies of the students. Cinderella after leaving the stage headed back towards the dormitories and entered a room. While Kate wasn't sure of the room number she did have a hint as to which one due to Cinderella leaving the door open slightly. After cuttinf off her connection to the plants Kate turned to Jessie saying, "I found her, she's at the dorms. We need to loom for an open door". Their elusive Cinderella couldn't hide for much more. @bluemoon277
Cole awoke the next day before the others. For a moment it felt just like old times as he got up out of bed and headed towards the bathroom. After showing and brushing his teeth he headed to the kitchen to get something to eat. Turning on the stove he began to cook some bacon and eggs while brewing coffee. All the while listening to one of his favorite songs from back in the day with his old crew. Once breakfast was ready he fixed himself a plate of the bacon and eggs leaving the rest for Naddy and Miller. Sitting at the kitchen counter he sipped his coffee as he began to compile a plan for today. That thing from last night might still be lurking in the town so his group had to be extra careful if they were going to look for survivors. That was their second problem. The Suite was meant for a small group. If they found a good amount of Gifted there was a chance they'd have to send some away or be forced to look for another place to set up shop. Sure they could take the above ground rooms of the motel but that would mean putting them in danger while he and the original group sat pretty down here. "Wish you were here Jane...You always knew what to do", Cole said low but aloud. Taking another sip of his coffee followed by a bite of breakfast Cole looked towards the stairs to the pool. "It's been a while since I last swam in there, maybe today"
