Name: Dawn Daniels
Age: 18
Birthday: March 20th eight minutes after his sister.
Magic: Celestial Sol Magic - Dawn's magic embodies the power of the sun. It allows him to summon both fire and light magic often used in tandem though at the moment he is unaware of his magics true nature and merely thinks it to be elemental fire magic.
Sun's Protection - Sol users are immune to fire and heat as well having perfect vision in impossibly bright environments. The flip side to this is that they have virtually no night vision being almost blind in dark areas. The exception to a Sol's immunity to fire is when facing another Sol user. Their flames burn hot enough that the Sol's fire immunity only buys them time before immolation.
Sol Sanctum - A dome of fire burning at several thousand degrees in erected around a location set by the user. The size is determined by the mage but the larger the dome the more effort it takes to maintain it. Holding Sol Sanctum in place takes all the concentration of the mage in question and as such acts as a safe zone rather than a battle technique. Up to the point where it reaches critical failure Sol Sanctum is near impervious burning anything that tries to enter, even other fire or Sol mages. Ninety Nine percent of the heat from Sol Sanctum is directed outwards so the inside is only five or ten degrees hotter than the environment before the Sanctum was erected.
Magic Level: A
Personality: Ironically given the nature of their magic Dawn is a bit of a bookworm compared to his sister. He's no stranger to violence or action but he prefers things to be quiet. When preparing for battle he likes to have as much information before going into any situation though he is fully capable of adapting should circumstances change. He is very protective of his sister and she is one of the only reasons that he will instigate a non-tournament based fight other than protecting guild mates.
Guild and guild mark location: Has yet to join a guild but at the time that he does it will be stamped on his left forearm.
Team Members: None
Three Strengths:
- Fiercely protective of those he calls family, particularly Elizabeth.
- Has a very good sense of direction.
- Has a singular focus on certain tasks that won't let him be distracted.
Three Weaknesses:
- Will charge blindly into a situation without considering the risks if someone he cares about is in danger.
- Doesn't read people or atmospheres very well.
- Distrustful of people's motives, never assumes kindness simply for the sake of kindness.
Greatest Love: Playing the fiddle
Motivation: Desperately wants to find a way to cure Elizabeth of her madness and find a way for her to regain her speech.
Appearance: Dawn is slender and built for speed, he’s got a slight build but is deceptively strong. He’s five foot eight inches and a hundred and thirty pounds, his eyes are storm cloud grey and his hair is a dry earthy brown, his skin is mildly tanned but not noticeably so. On his right forearm he has scars from frost burns from his and his sister’s first Unison Raid.
Additional Details:
- Dawn is a skilled fiddle player as taught by his father. They would often attend dances put on by Clover Town in which Richard would provide the music. He continued his studies of the instrument after his father's death.
- When Dawn uses his magic his eyes turn a blinding gold.
Name: Elizabeth Daniels
Age: 18
Birthday: March 20th eight minutes before her brother.
Magic: Celestial Luna Magic - Elizabeth's magic is almost completely opposite and yet complimentary to her brothers. These magic users are capable of harnessing the energies of the moon. Some effects are only possible while the moon is in the sky while others are internal and accessible anytime. Luna mages can use an obscure form of mold magic that allows the user to fashion temporary weapons or objects out of moonlight though this is only possible at night and very much depends on the strength of the moons light at the time. Some abilities that do not require direct moonlight include using blasts of internal lunar energy and being able to remove heat from surroundings. As she has never been trained Elizabeth is not aware of the potential of her gift and therefore has very little understanding of it. She has very little control over her magic as a whole it often bursts out of her when she is angry or upset. This is usually in the form of sudden flash freezes on surfaces and objects surrounding her and on rare occasions an uncontrolled expulsion of Lunar Energy.
Shatter - Heat is removed from an object in contact with Elizabeth to the point where it hits sub zero temperatures extreme enough that any amount of force will break it. This is not instantaneous and so doesn't make a good weapon in battle.
Lunar Blast - Moonlight absorbed by the mage during the night time is expelled with great force at a specific target.
Ice Form - With a great deal of training the ability of the mage to drain their surroundings of heat can be forged into a rudimentary form of Ice Mold Magic. Though nothing very elaborate the user will be able to make basic shapes such as shelters or coat the floor in ice. This cannot be used to create any kind of animated Ice Form.
Magic Level: A
Personality: Elizabeth’s demeanor is almost childlike in nature. When she is calm she is polite and cheerful with boundless energy. She is also easily upset and when this happens her magic is liable to go off without warning. Despite the way she acts Elizabeth is actually quite intelligent and often looks at problems in a unique light. Though she is powerful others often discount her usefulness because of her childlike nature.
Guild and guild mark location: Has yet to join a guild but at the time that she does it will be stamped on his right forearm.
Team Members: None
Three Strengths:
- Very observant, often realizes things about people simple from watching them.
- She is very sympathetic and when not out of control has a calming presence.
- Has an insatiable sense of curiosity about the world around her.
Three Weaknesses:
- Suffers from mental instability and muteness which often effects the use of her abilities.
- Even using the written word or the special form of sign language she and her brother are adept at Elizabeth is not good at articulating her thoughts. They often come out in a jumbled mess.
- Has very little sense of self preservation and as a result is often getting into trouble.
Greatest Love: Dancing
Motivation: She filled with wanderlust and an insatiable curiosity that demands that she to explore whenever she can.
Appearance: Elizabeth is slender and perhaps slightly skinnier than is strictly healthy, she can be fast when she chooses to. She's a little smaller then her brother and because of her slight stature and childlike nature people often underestimate her. She’s two inches shorter than her brother standing at five foot six inches and a little lighter at a hundred and ten pounds, her eyes are a dark midnight blue sometimes mistaken for black under the wrong lighting. Her hair like her brothers is a dry earthy brown, and her skin is a little paler then his because she spends more time indoors. On her left forearm she has burn scars from her and her brother’s first Unison Raid.
Additional Details:
- Elizabeth's magic responds instinctively to her moods and when she is angered or upset it often manifests in violent outbursts. In these situations Dawn is one of the only people able to calm Elizabeth down.
- Elizabeth is a fearless and skilled dancer having practiced often to her father's music even just at their own home.
- When using her magic her eyes turn a brilliant color of silver.
Shared Magicks:Twin Souls - As twins Dawn and Elizabeth share a special kind of magic. Though separate people they’re souls are joined at a mystical level. In times of great need each is capable of drawing on the other’s magical reserves for energy. This is unknown to the twins at present but once explored and expanded more they will gain the ability to feel pain and strong emotions from the other. This could even expand as a side effect to sharing injuries. At its highest level they may even be able to communicate telepathically over great distances. At present they are only able to sense the discomfort of the other subconsciously.
Eclipse - When involved in a successful Unison Raid Dawn and Elizabeth's magicks combine to form Celestial Eclipse. An almost undocumented phenomenon which legends tell allow the users to command the heaven's themselves. (Basically haven't thought out the functions yet.) The twins have only successfully utilized Eclipse once to form a highly saturated energy blast that destroyed most of their house. When they use Eclipse Dawn and Elizabeth's eyes turn a color of black that light seems to fall into tinged very faintly at the edges by a dark warm red.
History:Elizabeth and Dawn lived with their father Richard some miles outside of Clover Town. Richard was a craftsman, a carpenter, his craftsmanship was second to none. He supplied a decent amount of the furniture used in Clover Town and on occasion some of his pieces were shipped to other locations in Fiore. As someone who worked primarily with his hands Richard was a big man, with broad shoulders, a mane of golden hair and a beard that matched. The kids in Clover Town used to say that he looked like a lion. The twins mother Marie, had died some years earlier when a plague swept through the town.
Elizabeth and Dawn had a good life. Richard was a strict father but he was kind and fair. He taught the twins literacy and mathematics and on occasion even had then help him in the shop. Though being children of ten years old he was humoring them more than anything. All that changed the day Richard died.
It was the night of a great storm in the area. Everyone was huddled inside with the windows barred for fear that the glass would shatter. That included Elizabeth and Dawn who were huddled in their rooms. Then there was a knock on the door. Thinking it was a traveler who'd been caught in the storm and found the Daniels' cabin to take shelter in. Dawn and Elizabeth went to the door to and opened it to see who was on the other side. When they opened it both shrieked in terror. Standing on the threshold with the winds batting at its sides was the most ghastly creature they'd ever seen. It was humanoid but grotesque. Its skin was white as paper and stretch so tightly over its bones that it appeared as a skeleton, it was almost seven feet but slumped so much, curling in on itself that it did not look tall but imposingly large. Its eyes were hollow and black. It lumbered towards them menacingly.
"Kids stand back." said Richard from the door to his room. "I'll handle this." The twins retreated behind their father
As the creature approached Richard dropped to one knee and slammed his fist into the ground. That was when the impossible happened. From their father's hand expanded a brilliant orange orb of mystical energy. It got larger and larger until it encompassed both the children and formed a dome over their heads. The creature ran from it clearly frightened. When the orb had gotten big enough that it encompassed the house the outsides burst into brilliant flames that danced in the winds of the storm and sizzled as it vaporized whatever water came into contact with it.
"Children..." Richard said. His voice sounded labored like he was lifting a bundle of two by fours or chopping a tree in the woods for his work. "There are things, things I never told you about your mother, about yourselves. Things you have to know now. If a Gremlock has found me then we're not safe here anymore. I need you to listen to me can you do that?" Both Dawn and Elizabeth looked at their father in fear but both nodded. Despite what was now happened he was still their father and they trusted him.
Before he could say anything else the family heard a screech from the door that made them look up. At the edge of the field of fire a silhouette could be seen growing sharper against the flames. It seemed to be screaming as it walked through the fire but still the creature, the Gremlock emerged inside the Sol Sanctum. It was on fire but even as they watched the flames that had engulfed it seemed to be sucked into its skin. Now it looked stronger. It's skin while still white and dry wasn't so thin and stretched anymore. It seemed to have grown muscles in a matter of minutes.
All around them the Sol Sanctum died and Richard struggled to his feet, exhausted from the effort of summoning it. Stumbling Richard stood in front of his children. "Take my magic but leave them alone, they have no power worth the effort of stealing. Then the creature opened its mouth to speak, it had no teeth and the sound that echoed from the hole in its head was like something slimy slithering through tall grass.
"Yyyyou dooo not know yyyyour own offssssprrrring." It smiled.
"I wwwwill fffffeasssst on them ffffforrrrr yyyyyearrrrrsssss."Then it reached out one of its dry bony hands and grasped Richard by the skull. The twin's father let out a screen like nothing they had ever heard before. It was a sound that neither would ever forget. Richard's skin seemed to ripple almost as if it flowed towards the place where the Gremlock touched him. Then he burst into flames. Just like those of Sol Sanctum the mystical fire streamed into the creature as he absorbed it leaving Richard's body a burned out hunk of charged flesh.
Then the creature turned to the twins. Dawn and Elizabeth retreated as far into the cabin as they could go but it was not a large place and only had one door. The Gremlock cornered the twins and reached out a hand just as it had to their father. It clutched Elizabeth by the forehead and ice began to form on her face and head. The tears falling down her face freezing in place.
In a moment of desperation Dawn grabbed a carving knife from the table and slashed at the pale white hand that held his sister. The knife slid though the creature's flesh easily, far more easily than it would have if he were human. The hand fell to the floor breaking its connection with Elizabeth. The Gremlock merely laughed.
"Brrravvvvve boyyyyyyy. Yyyyyou wwwwwwill tassssste sssswwwwweat."The Gremlock held up the stump on his arm and with a brilliant flash of orange flames a new hand grew in its place, the one fallen to the floor turning to ash. In that moment something passed between the twins, they glanced into each other’s eyes and some primal understanding was met, to this day neither can adequately describe what happened. They reached their hands out for one another, their arms intertwined and a brilliant gleaming light burst into life between them, a mixture of silver and gold and where it mingled was complete darkness. They held out their intertwined hands in their first and only Unison Raid and a blast of pure black outlined in the faintest by dark red shot forth and hit the creature. For a few seconds it looked content as it absorbed the energies of the attack but soon that contentment turned to discomfort then outright panic.
"Sssssstop!" It shouted at them but it was far too late. At its body absorbed more and more of Eclipse its muscles grew and its body became brittle till with a final mind numbing screen it exploded into shards of crystal not unlike lacrima.
The blast from Eclipse didn't abate their however. Thought their target had been utterly destroyed Eclipse demanded more and more energy from the twins. Energy they didn't have to give. Their arms where they touched started to burn with heat and cold simultaneously. Dawn and Elizabeth tried to pull apart, sensing what Eclipse would do to them if they didn't separate. The beam that had moments before saved their lives now turned skyward destroying the only home they had ever known. Both twins almost simultaneously but their free hands to the wrists of the ones creating Eclipse. Brilliant silver and gold light shove from both of them as their own magic tried to separate them. A giant explosion formed between them as they were finally pulled apart blasting them to opposite sides of the house.
The people of Clover Town hearing the sound of the explosion and seeing bright lights in the distance came to see what had happened at the carpenter's house. There they found both Dawn and Elizabeth unconscious, the arms that had joined in the Unison Raid severely burned. Richard's charred corpse on the ground, half the house destroyed. Most of Clover Town believed the through some divine fluke of nature or the wraith of a mage lightning had struck Richard's house multiply times killing him, destroying his house and leaving his two children in comas. It was nearly two weeks before they regained consciousness.
They'd been taken in by one of Richard's friends from town. An older woman who ran an apothecary, her name was Penelope. She'd taken care of them while they were unconscious and after they woke up offer them a place to stay. The Twins first and only attempt at using their combined Eclipse magic left them with scars. Elizabeth’s left arm was disfiguringly burned. Though she recovered full use of it the skin was left rough and uneven from Dawn's flames. Dawn's right arm became similarly disfigured by ice burns leaving his skin with long rough striation like marks. These were not the only marks that the attack left them with. As a result of whatever the Gremlock at attempted to do to Elizabeth along with the almost immediate and massive expenditure of magical energy Elizabeth lost the ability to speak as well as suffering a complete mental break. She often had violent outbursts or disappeared without warning. Dawn was forced even at the age of ten to keep a close eye on her at all times. He became his sister's keeper. He tried to help her as best as he could. He became very good at calming her down when she was having a fit or cheering her up when she became disheartened but no matter what he did he was never able to get her to speak even a single word to him. The only time he ever heard her voice was when she laughed.
For several years they communicated via the written word. Elizabeth would always have a sketch pad on her to write down whatever she wanted to tell her brother. Dawn spent a long while researching alternatives. They tried a number of traditional types of sign language but Dawn found that when Elizabeth was having one of her fits her gestures became wild and unintelligible. Finally Dawn found something in an old history book. A type of nonverbal communication usually used for those that had lost sight and hearing. It was perfect for Elizabeth because even when she became rile up it forced her to calmly drawn on her brother's skin. It gave her something to concentrate on, something to ground her. Though Dawn didn't actually need to learn it because Elizabeth could hear him he did so anyways to ensure that she didn't feel she was going through the process alone.
Dawn tried to attend the magical dojo the town was famous for as often as he could though it became clear very quickly that the dojo and its master were only tolerated because it brought tourism to the little hamlet. The people of Clover Town were not receptive to the idea of magic as a normal part of society. After his first trip Dawn quickly learned to find ways to sneak into the place. The master was more than understanding of this. He trained Dawn as best he could to control his fire abilities though as Dawn's sessions were irregular and he often spent a good part of them looking after Elizabeth he didn’t learn as much as he likely should have. Dawn became skilled enough with his fire abilities though knows nothing about his true powers of Celestial magic.
A few months prior to Dawn and Elizabeth leaving Clover Town the lunar mage sneaked out of the house. Perhaps she merely wanted to feel the free air. Perhaps she was exploring the town. Whatever the reason she ended up at the local cathedral. The reverend there was not a pleasant man and believed that the destruction of their home and the death of their father Richard was a sign that Elizabeth and Dawn were heathen children forsaken by the gods. When he saw Elizabeth wandering his church he became very agitated and demanded that she leave. Elizabeth was alarmed by the small man and being unable to answer anything he said began to panic. Her magic reacted violently to her distress. It snaked out from her pulling the heat from the surrounding air and causing ice to form on every surface in the church. This of course frightened the reverend causing him to back away cursing her all the while. Elizabeth stumbled back into a wooden support pillar in the cathedral and her magic took hold within it. On top of holding a section of the cathedral standing now the pillar also had Elizabeth's magic causing rapid contraction within it. The pillar collapsed under the strain bringing a section of the church down with it.
Dawn who'd awakened the second Elizabeth had been in distress was able to pull her from the church before any serious harm to come to her. That however didn't change the fact that she had seriously damaged a major landmark in the town. The crowd that had gathered to see what had happened clearly saw Elizabeth's magic at work and while Mages' Guilds were quickly become socially acceptable Clover Town was not one to embrace change quickly. The town quickly formed a lynch mob, fear and anger were in the air as Dawn and Elizabeth were forced to run.
They took refuge in the woods where they had grown up hiding from the townspeople. It took almost three days before the town gave up on finding them and another two before it was safe for them to return. Even though the people of Clover Town had settled down it was obvious that Elizabeth and Dawn were no longer welcome in the town. It was also obvious that Dawn needed assistance if he was ever going to be able to help his sister. The master of the magical dojo while a learned man could do nothing for Elizabeth. Now displaced from their home Dawn saw this as the perfect time to seek out someone with more skill than he to help his sister and train the both of them in the use of their abilities.
Because the Grand Magic Games were now running the majority of the wizarding population of Fiore was situated in one place. So Elizabeth and Dawn set off for the Capitol of Fiore.
