Aixrye: The Journey

[vixune]

Welcome, To the World of Aixrye!

SPOILER: Click to show

Somewhere, in some universe, there is a planet much like our planet, Earth. Hundreds of thousands, if not billions, of species of animals and multiple groups of young humanoid breeds, as well as a few dozen types of other creatures inhabit this planet. The humanoids, creatures and the animals that inhabit the planet are almost identical to those from Earth. Many of the creatures are similar to the 'mythical' or 'extinct' creatures from Earth's historical writings. Dragons, griffins, sea-monsters, a few ancient mammals, birds and reptiles are but a few examples.

This planet, which we shall call Aixrye, is made up of three large continents. The main continent, Hyux, is where all of the dragons reside. The second, slightly smaller continent called Tyiar, is where many of the ancient creatures originated. Lastly, the smallest continent, K'twai, is home to the griffins. Many have thought that the continents were once one large, singular landmass. But no matter what anyone does, it cannot be proven and many disagree, believing that the world has always been as it is. One reason is that all of the continents have vastly different climates. Hyux, the largest of them, has many different climates... It has a very large desert, a huge forest, many large plains and an extensive mountain range that divides the continent in two. The smallest continent, K'twai, is made up of mostly barren mountains, plains and sparse forest. Lastly, Tyiar, a hot and humid place that is full of life, both plant and animal. Almost the entire continent is made up of dense forests, many large plains and areas of rain forests.

All of the creatures, living on their separate continents had never met one another, save for the a few of the dragons and sea-monsters because the distance between the continents is great. Griffins and dragons could easily fly across the wide expanses of ocean, but why bother? Everyone lived in peace and comfort. Most of the dragons had no desire to leave their wonderful homeland. The griffins did not want to leave their nests, for they were never safe from egg thieves. The ancient creatures and many other animals had no means to leave their home. Lastly, the sea monsters could go anywhere, see anything, but they mostly kept to themselves and stayed in the deepest reaches of the oceans...

Everything changed once the humanoids came into being and started to evolve and spread to all the continents... Using their magic and special abilities to move high up in the chain of things. The humans soon became the dominant species, humanoids coming second. They quickly mastered making tools and using their magic to assist them in creating towns and even a few large cities. So far though, compared to modern day technology, the humans and humanoids of Aixrye were still rather primitive, only just barely realizing steam energies. Magic is the main source of almost all power and advances in Aixrye. The non-magic related technology could be closely compared to Earths 'medieval times'.

No creature knows how the humans and humanoids came to be. Some think the dragons created them with their magic, others say they are a freak mutation of some sort. All any of the creatures know is that once the humanoids started to spread, all hell broke loose. The humanoids made ships to travel across the ocean waters, allowing them to get to all of the continents. They lived in peace at first... But then, they turned against all the creatures! Killing almost all of the ancient creatures, only those that could hide survived and the ancient felines, the saber-cats and the small and swift bird-like creature archaeopteryx were the main survivors on the continent of Tyiar. The dragons became all but extinct, only a few of them survive to this day. And lastly, the griffins became an enslaved race after thousands of nests were destroyed.

Many hundreds of years have passed and the humanoids now rule Aixrye. The mighty dragons have all but disappeared, the sea-monsters are almost never seen, the creatures of Tyiar live in hiding or as pets and slaves, just as the griffins live as slaves. But, things are starting to change... Griffins and saber-cats are starting to ignore and even attack the humanoids, dragons are attacking villages and sea-monsters attack ships at sea. Even the humans and humanoids are fighting amongst themselves! Why? Only a chosen few will know, and only they can stop what is happening...

In a small cave on the main continent, a young woman sleeps beside her faithful companion. They had flown here from across the ocean, from her home on the continent K'twai. As she slept, she had another of those strange dreams... She was visited once before by a presence known to her as Spirit, he, or she, for the woman was uncertain of its possible gender, seemed familiar to her, yet, somehow completely alien at the same time. The first time she met Spirit, in her dreams, Spirit had said to travel to Hyux and that once she was there, they would speak again.

Fast asleep, the young woman was thrown into a dream. She was standing in a small field of flowers, everything beyond the edge of the field just faded into blackness...

"Avantasia..." a soft voice echoed in the young woman's mind as she stood in the center of the field.
"You are the being, the spirit who has contacted me before?" she questioned, looking around but not seeing anyone or anything. "Yes. You must hurry and find the others... Time is short, the world is in great danger," the voice spoke again, with a slight sadness.
"You've mentioned these 'others' before... Who are they? How will I find them? And what danger? How do I know I can trust you?"
"Time is short...I will explain what I can but you must not tell anyone what I share with you. The others will know, do not worry about that," he spoke, his voice fading till it could almost not be heard.
"Alright, I understand, but-" the woman starts to respond, only to be cut off as the voice speaks up again.
"Hush, my child, all will be revealed soon. Now, listen as I tell you what is happening in this world of ours and how you might yet save it," the voice said calmly.
Avantasia had nothing to say here, she just listened, her mind in a whirl. She stayed silent though, for her mind was working faster then the rushing river as it flowed over the edge of the cliff, creating a waterfall. Her tongue, though, felt as slow as a snail making its way along the branch of a tree, towards the next leaf...
"You know how your race came into being? No, I imagine you don't... No mortal creature knows... So, I shall start there. You, the animal humanoids, were created through magic from the original humans. Who was it that created you? Not even I know that... All I know is that now, He has returned to this world-"
"Who is "he" exactly?" Ava could not help interrupting.
"The one that is a destroyer of worlds, He is the reason so many now fight needlessly... He is the one that you must find and stop, or all will be lost."
"But what exac-" she starts to interrupt again, only to get cut off.
"Listen to me, Ava, you must first find the others. Once you have found them, all shall be revealed..."

Lightning flashed and thunder resounded, reverberating throughout the cave, awakening Ava. Sitting bolt upright, the young human looked around with wide eyes, her turquoise irises dilated to allow more light into them so that she could see in the darkness. The hair on the back of her neck was standing on end. Looking around, for her eyes had adjusted to the caves darkness, Ava could see that everything is as it was, other then the fact that there was a storm raging just outside the cave mouth. Turning her attention to the large wolf she was with, who was watching her and gave a small bark at the girl when they made eye contact. Ava offered a smile in response. The wolf, Kai, was her faithful companion. He had been by her side ever since that night she found him curled up in a ball amongst the leaves and mud.

Now, far from home and all alone in another foreign lands cave, Kai looked to his sister, for that is how they think of each other, as siblings, and he turned his head to the side as if asking a question.
Avantasia remained silent before replaying her dream to her companion, words and visions flowing through Kai's mind as if he too were there with her during the dream. This was how Avantasia had learned to speak with her brother after losing her voice to a devastating injury... Reaching up, Ava gently stroked Kai's head and curled up against his warm side, for they had been asleep with one another, side by side.
After a few moments, she started to drift back to sleep, trying to figure out just what it was Spirit was trying to tell her...
Should she trust it...?

After years of peace, something has happened to the land. Many of the creatures of Aixrye that were once peaceful and lived in harmony are now at each others throats! It is completely unknown as to why this sudden outbreak of violence has started... But, a few chosen ones that have received a strange dream from the one known as 'Spirit' know a little about what is happening. Spirit came to you in a dream, said essentially the same thing to you as was said to Avantasia and then vanished, leaving you confused but strongly compelled to find out what this 'Spirit' had meant. You travel from your home, looking for answers. You may choose to either meet up with Ava (played by Lyxii) and try to find out what this 'evil' is or you can choose to try and ignore the dream...

There is no real plan, you are all just searching to find more about this 'evil'. Some of you might want to find and stop this evil, others to join it... You will travel the world, searching for clues, searching for proof. Proof of what? That there is an evil of sorts causing mayhem and destruction? Are you searching for ways to stop it, or looking for ways to help it..?

I will drop hints, make things happen, bring some of you closer, others, I will lead astray... Once you have discovered, or think you have discovered, what the 'evil' is, what 'it' wants... What will you do? What will happen? Who will prevail?

Only in time, will we find out...

Aixrye is a planet made up of three continents.
Here is a map of the world.
Thanks to Sporelett for the map!
Just below is a small description of each individual continent. ^^

Hyux
The biggest continent, Hyux has many different environments. First, the continent is divided in two. There is a huge mountain range that snakes across the continent. Because of this, the environments are somewhat varied. It has two large deserts, one on either side of the mountains, but one is vastly bigger then the other. There are also large areas of forest on either side, accompanied by sparsely wooded areas and many fields. On one side, there is a large savanna that melts into the desert.

Tyiar
The hottest, most humid and heavily wooded of the continents, Tyiar is one long, green and brown spot in the middle of a giant blue ocean. The continent is mostly made of dense forest. Most of them turning into rain forests, once you get deep into them, towards their center. There are a few areas of sparse woodland, and even a few lonely fields.

K'twai
The smallest of the three continents and by far, the most harsh. K'twai has a small mountain range of it's own. With large sea cliffs on many sides, it is not easy for invaders of any sort to get on the continent. Even so, humanoids have made it here. Only a few have bothered to stay, for many find the landscape to barren or wild for living and would rather live on Hyux or Tyiar. With rocky deserts and large, barren savannas covering most of the continent, it's no wonder why so few would live there. But, amazingly, a lot of people like to live there, and many of the people that do, make a living in the sparse woodland that is scattered all around.

[/size][/i][/spoiler]

Humans were the first, and make up the majority of all the humanoids. All the others came to be after the humans, but no one knows how or why.

Humans

[/u]: (... Kind of self explanatory but hey, lets fill this out anyway!)
Humans make up the majority of the humanoids, they live everywhere and thrive easily, living to be about 50-70 years of age. Humans, as well as all the other humanoids, are social by nature, usually living in large family groups or communities. Humans are noted for their desire to understand and influence their environment, seeking to explain and manipulate natural phenomena through science, philosophy, mythology and religion. This natural curiosity has led to the development of advanced tools and skills, which are passed down culturally; humans are the first of the extant species known to build fires, cook their food, clothe themselves, and use numerous other technologies.

((All the animal humanoids get along okay with the humans... Some humans, and humanoids, are highly racist. Then, there are those who don't care at all. It all matters on the family and their individual experiences...))

(((Because of a want for diversity, there can only be a maximum of one of the following animal humanoids. PM me if you are serious about joining and want to reserve one of them. ^^
Also, you may create a species to play as, but please, if you do, be decently descriptive about it. And PM it to me!!! Don't post it! If I accept it, I'll add it here.)))

Felixians[/u]: (1 left)
The 'Cat people' as some have come to call them, are just that, humanoids that look like cats. Many differ in how much like a cat they look like. Some only have the ears, tail and claws. Others look more cat then human. Claws, a tail, ears, fangs, whiskers, fur... Some have a face that protrudes forward in a cat-like appearance, as well as hind legs that are shaped just like a cats. There are many individuals, varying greatly in how cat-like they appear.
The Felixians and Lupans have never gotten along very well... Most of the time, when they meet, they call each other vulgar names and insults.

Lupans[/u]: (1 left)
'Wolf men' is what these people are most commonly referred to as. Lupans most commonly have the distinctive snout, pointed ears and large, bushy tail of a wolf. A few are more human in appearance, having just the ears, large canine teeth and tail. At the same time, some look almost like a wolf on two legs! They have the head of a wolf, fur covering their body, the hind legs and tail.
Again, the Lupans and Felixians have never gotten along very well. Most of the time, when they meet, they call each other vulgar names and insults.

Avixans[/u]: (Played by Yoko)
The 'Fliers' as they are most commonly called. They look almost perfectly human, save for the wings that are seen on their backs and they are of all types. Some have the eyes, hearing and wings of an owl. Others have the wings of an eagle or even a swallow! No matter what bird the person is a part of, they usually have a trait that their avian counterpart would. An eagle would be a powerful, yet slow flier. A falcon would be fast and agile but not be very strong... Avixans get along well with the other two animal humanoids, only they are slightly wary when around the Felixians.

_____________________

Ferogen[/u]: (Created by Sporelett. Played by Vixune)
(1 left)
The Ferogenn are a typically chaotic race of people. Like many of Aixyre's other humanoids, they bear close resemblance to ordinary humans, but possess several differentiating features. The typical Ferogen is slightly smaller than a human, and more lightly built. The average height for Ferogen males is 5'4"; the average female height is exactly five feet. They typically have lithe, flexible bodies, with mobile joints and flexible spines. The most immediately obvious trait of a Ferogen is their hair; the range in hair colour ranges from pitch black to pure white, and includes every imaginable colour or shade in between. Ferogenn take great pride in their hair, and generally wear it long, sometimes in complex styles or with baubles of some sort woven into it.

Perhaps the most strange and interesting feature of the Ferogenn is their unique ability to alter their bodies at will. All it takes is physical contact with another animal, with the Ferogen in question focusing on the other creature, and instinct will take care of the rest. Depending on how skilled an individual is with their ability, they may be able to control their transformation more precisely, or change more quickly. Masters of the changing ability can change from a bear straight into a hummingbird in the blink of an eye; a few absolute failures regarding the ability were only able to alter slowly into other similarly-sized or shaped creatures. Ferogenn mature quickly, and can live for a long time. Due to their fast metabolism they must eat proportionally large amounts, but females have reached their adult size by the age of ten. Males stop growing a few years later. No one knows if a Ferogen can die from old age.

Ferogen culture is very closely related with the natural world. Because of their ability to change their shape into almost any conceivable form, it is their common belief that Ferogenn are just a small part of the world, without being set apart from it. They tend to dwell in wild areas, changing as little as possible around them while making a living. Many Ferogenn have a very strong connection with other animals, and it is not uncommon to find one or two in a Clan who can actually converse with them. Ferogenn live in groups of several dozen individuals, and move around regularly to impact the environment less, as well as to increase the chances of running into another Clan. When two Clans meet, members often change groups for a change of scenery, and to keep blood lines strong.

Irai[/u]: (Created by Sporelett. Played by Sporelett) (1 left)
The dwellers of Aixrye's oceans and seas have been called many things by other races--mer-people, aquians, selkies--but among their own kind, they are simply irai. The irai are a race of tall, powerful water-dwelling humanoids with glistening, scaled skin and long webbed appendages. Females and males of the species tend to be around the same size, both averaging out to a height of six and a half feet. They have high tolerance for cold temperatures and have even been seen off the coast of K'twai's northernmost shore, swimming easily amongst the icebergs. Most irai have at least limited control over the elements of water and ice, and some of the greatest water-mages in the world are of iraian blood. Although powerful and cultured, they tend to be reclusive as a species and like to keep to themselves, often being borderline hostile to outsiders. Irai are also famous for their military strength, and have proven devastating to their enemies whenever they engage in battle. One of the less-common races on Aixrye, they breed slowly, and age slowly as well, reaching adulthood at the age of fifty and living up to four hundred years.[/font][/size][/spoiler]

If you have a creature you would like to see in the RP, or have as a companion, PM it to me and I may add it! ^^

Dragons

[/u]:
Proud, intelligent, strong and loyal to their kin. They loved all the animals around them, big, small, enemy or prey...it mattered not. Most of the time, you would find the dragons sun or star bathing, playing with their young or helping any of the other animals. Dragons, truly are amazing creatures. They come in hundreds of different sizes and shapes, many having elemental powers.

Griffins[/u]:
Griffins are beasts like lions, with the wings and beak of an eagle. They generally look like a lion with an eagle's head, forefeet and wings, and straight horse-like ears. Some have the entire body of a lion, head of an eagle and eagles wings.
Loyal beyond reason, extremely protective over kin, extremely proud, even to a point of being called conceded. Griffins loved to soar high on the winds or run on the savannas. They could usually be seen flying around their families nesting area, watching for any possible threat. Most griffins have the ability to use telepathy.

Sea-monsters[/u]:
Sea monsters. They are a mystery to all... Almost never seen, they are unknown to all but the unlucky few to have met them out at sea. Most never survive such an encounter. The few that do have spread the rumors of gigantic snake-like or sometimes even dragon-like creatures, eager to kill and destroy. Only the dragons know the truth beyond the rumors...

Saber-toothed cats[/u]:
These large felines evolved their saber-toothed characteristics entirely independently. They are most known for having maxillary canines which can grow up to 50 cm long and extend down from the mouth even when the mouth is closed. Saber-toothed cats are generally more robust than other species of large cats and are quite bear-like in build. They are excellent hunters and hunt many types of large prey.

Archaeopteryx[/u]:
Archaeopteryx is a seemingly primitive type of bird. Archaeopteryx is roughly the size of a medium-sized bird, with broad wings that are rounded at the ends and a long tail compared to its body length. In all, archaeopteryx can reach up to 500 millimeters (1.6 ft) in body length. Archaeopteryx has many theropod dinosaur characteristics. Unlike modern birds, it has small teeth as well as a long bony tail, features which archaeopteryx shares with some of the dinosaurs of Tyiar. Because it displays a number of features common to both birds and dinosaurs, archaeopteryx has often been considered a link between them—possibly the first bird in its change from a land dweller to a bird.

________________________

Fox Squirrel[/u]: X -- X (Created by, Vixune)
Small, cat-like animals, generally found feral and considered impossible to domesticate. These cute creatures always look to be the same, only a few of the stripes on their fur giving away that they are different. All of these little creatures have a black 'cap' on the tops of their heads, black tipped ears and a black tipped tail. Their fur is a sandy color with either dark brown or black stripes, with a cream white mane, chest and underside. Almost always as well, they have pure green eyes, with no obvious pupil. These wild little animals make their home on K'twai, living in the sparse forests and cliff sides. Few people ever get close to these little devils, and fewer still have ever touched them. They truly are one of the last free, wild and untamed mammals of K'twai.

Drakes[/u]: (Created by, Vixune)
Drakes are a sub-species to Dragons. They have hundreds of different forms and are in far greater numbers than the ancient Dragons. There are many types of Drakes, living in all corners of Aixrye. Drakes are a lot like their Dragon ancestors, only they have evolved in many ways to fit into the specific area they call home. Most commonly, Drakes have shrunk in size. Many also have stayed decently large, all depending on where it is they live. Almost all Drakes still have wings but most have lost the ability to use them. Some breeds can still fly, but only for a very limited time or distance, most only being able to glide.They have greatly adapted and changing to better fit to their surrounding habitat.

Your character can have the ability to control one of the following elements. If you need further explanation PM me... Also, if you have an ability you would like to add, just PM me and we can discuss adding it.

Earth:

[/b] Available Slots: 0/2
The magic ability over Earth is more of a defensive trait rather than offensive. An Earth Magic User has the ability to manipulate rocks, stone, minerals and other dense materials that are naturally found. However, they are limited when it comes to density. This means that the Earth Magic User has more control over rocks, pebbles, and other mineral chunks than they do over sand because of the millions of tiny pieces you must control.
Earth Users can pull rocks from within the Earth to create shields and obstacles in a battle, or even use them to crush and impale enemies that are within a close vicinity. They do not have the ability to throw large rocks over great distances, but may use rocks as deadly projectiles if the target is in range. As for advanced and master Earth Uses, they are capable of shaping Earthly materials to form their own armor is they so choose.
As mentioned before, Earth Users are limited to natural occurring materials. So controlling your forged weapons and armor is impossible unless you are a master. Even then you are extremely limited and it is often too difficult to try. Especially when the minerals are mixed, matched, and spellbound.

Fire:[/b] Available Slots: 1/2
Fire Users can control, and manipulate flame, but not without a flame source. This is the biggest weakness for fire users, but this by no means makes them less dangerous. Fire users are mainly used for offensive attacks, and they pack a powerful punch with their abilities if they are used right. Unfortunately, Fire is the most dangerous element in the world of Aixrye, and the users of this element are either shunned or avoided. Indeed, fire is still hard to control and it can damage allies if the user loses concentration...
Inexperienced Fire Users are usually the wild cards. Depending on how much they can control, it isn't rare for them to bite off more than they can chew and injure themselves or others. Giving the reason why they are avoided. Of course, with enough mistakes one can learn to master these abilities..
Experienced and Advanced Fire users are some of the most dangerous foes to come across when it comes to element users. If used and manipulated correctly, fire can be just as freely used as the Wind element, making the attacks extremely unpredictable and able to change on a whim. All Fire Element Users tend to have a high tolerance for heat and a low tolerance for extreme cold.

Water:[/b] Available Slots: 0/3
A very common element, Water Magic is almost similar to both Nature and Earth magic. There are some healing properties in Water Magic, but nothing like that of Nature. One can reduce pain and stop bleeding, but not truly fix the wound. Like Earth, Water users are limited by quantity. Too much water, and the user can find themselves draining too much of their energy and lose consciousness should their judgment fail. Of course, if used correctly this element can be quite useful with offensive attacks and quick getaways. Lucky for these users, water is found in many places, especially plants and in their own sweat or containers. Also, like Earth, it is easier to control pure water than mixtures such as juice, ale, or other unnatural liquids. Water Element Users are usually pretty decent swimmers, and can swim faster than other Element users.
When it comes to ice, the element remains similar to Earth magic, and can be used as projectiles or to even walk over water in some cases. Of course, it is draining to convert water into ice, or vice versa.
Young Users of this Element are usually more able to do close range combat with a constant water source. One of the more surprising traits to this element is that both young and old users grasp their abilities and advance rather quickly, it all depends on how much time they have devoted to their abilities. They are naturally quick learners, but their control over this element is assumed to be because water makes up most of what we are. Which most likely has an influence on the user's body.

Air:[/b] Available Slots: 1/2
One of the more rare elements that are controlled, Air Magic Users have both offensive and defensive abilities. Able to control the air around them in many ways, Air Magic Users are also the hardest to notice because their element is invisible. This makes their attacks hard to predict and notice. Air is also an element that can be used to influence other Elemental User's magic. So having an Air Magic alli is very useful in many situations. Naturally, users of this element are very fast and light on their feet. They are almost impossible to keep up with on foot, and are even faster while mounted because they can easily rid themselves and other individuals or air resistance and put the wind at their back.
Both inexperienced and masters of this element do offer a threat. Of course, younger users are not capable of packing as hard of a punch as more advanced users. Blasts of air to the face can be quite unpleasant, especially if that air contains debris... As for attacks for this element, imagination is needed. These users do have a natural tolerance for temperatures.
For advanced users, beware. The Air Element has the capability of balancing out some other attacks from other elements. Advanced Air Users are capable of influencing some storm elements such as funnel clouds and dust storms... The effectiveness of their abilities depends on the experience of course.

Nature:[/b] Available Slots: 0/2
One of the more draining magics, Nature Magic is used by transferring energy into the plant life surrounding the character so they can control it, making this magic very costly to the user. As the name shows, the user can manipulate plant life, making them grow faster, bend and move a certain way, etc. Depending all on how the user sees fit and is able to use them. Most users tend to use this ability to carry seeds for food, herbs or even poisons and make the seeds mature whenever needed, saving the user much pack space. Restraining an enemy using vines, or even making trees and larger plant life smash or injure an enemy isn't uncommon.
Another important role nature magic users share is the healing role. Nature energy and plant life can be used to heal allies and other living things if they so choose. Of course, this can take a lot of energy to do if they are channeling pure energy into an injury to heal it. So it must be used sparingly and wisely.
Young Nature Users are, of course, limited, in their abilities. Their control over plant life is limited by the size of the plant and how much energy they are able to use for healing. The most an inexperienced or young nature user can heal are tears in the flesh and nasty cuts. If a person were to break a bone or gain a fatal injury, they may find their power unable to fix or help the person... Not without rising their own life or energy.
Advanced Nature Magic users can create their own armor and weapons from plant life if they so choose. If used correctly, this magic can be very deadly or have nasty effects on targets. Their healing abilities can also help with fixing fatal injuries.

Animal:[/b] Available Slots: 1/2
Has an extremely strong connection to other living creatures. Usually the user can befriend an animal with ease or control an animal of lower intelligence, like a dog or horse. Also, if the user is highly adept with this magic, then they can sometimes speak to animals and understand what they say in turn. Also, for those that can actually speak to animals, they are able to do so in both their normal voice, or telepathically.

Telepathy:[/b] Available Slots: 0/1
Can speak to people in their minds, individually or to multiple people at once. Unfortunately, unless the other person is also telepathic, they must speak verbally in response. Depending on how good you are as a user depicts how many people you can speak to at once. (Max of 5-10, please) (NO MIND READING!!!)
(Also, when speaking with telepathy, you must put your words in italics and surround them with these: ~ ~ )[/font][/size][/i][/spoiler]

SPOILER: Click to show

Username: Vixune
Name: Kai Ranvir
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Race: Ferogen
Magic Element: Fire and Animal
Companion: A young human woman named Avantasia. Kai looks up to Ava as a big sister.

Appearance:
● Image: [X]
● Height: 5'5"
● Weight: 142
● Markings: A black flame tattoo on his left arm
Kai is a lean, yet very well built and muscled young man. Wild, dirty blond hair with small streaks of brown is cut short and ragged around a decently featured face. With a small nose and mouth, slightly angled light gray and green eyes, sharp eyebrows and a small chin, Kai has a slightly oriental look. His eyes, always looking like a slightly green storm cloud, are framed by thick black eyelashes. They are topped by his eyebrows, which are slim but sharp and he always looks to be tired due to a permanent discoloration around his eyes, though neither him nor Ava are sure how it happened. Kai's skin is a semi tanned color with plenty of scars from his growing up. On his left arm he has a large black flame tattoo... He has had it since as far back as he can remember, but does not know how or why he has it.

For clothing, Kai normally has on a black leather vest, made from common leather and dyed black and some elbow guards made from the same material and also dyed. For pants he has some thick cloth and fur full-legged pants and some thin black cloth shorts. Usually on his back or belt, you can find a beautiful Katana. If it is not with him, Ava is usually carrying it for him. He never wears shoes and so because of this, his feet are hard and calloused, making it so he can walk on just about any terrain. One thing that Kai does a lot, is he will have the tail and claws of a wolf. He does this when he feels nervous, as since he is a Ferogen, he can shape shift and the wolf is his animal of choice. Whenever he isn't a human, Kai is usually a wolf. Either a cub, o an adult depending on his feelings and mood. He is always jet black of fur when he is a wolf, though.

Personality: Kai is generally a calm and quiet individual. He likes to watch and listen to others before he speaks, letting them figure things out on their own. Sometimes though, he will speak up and give his opinion on a matter, albeit a very pointed and direct opinion. Oftentimes, he will not say a word, even when someone asks him something directly. Most of the time, Kai will just mumble a response, just nod his head or shrug his shoulders. Not many people can get Kai to open up and be talkative. Kai has never been very good around other people, as he grew up with only knowing Ava and completely forgot the life he had before meeting her.

On the other hand, if one does manage to get Kai to open up, he can be a very social, talkative and rather interesting person to be around. He has a wonderful sense of humor that only a few people have seen. Kai is a nice person by nature. He hates it when people fight and only wants everyone to get along. If people start to fight amongst themselves, Kai will sometimes try to step in and get the people to stop, before anything bad happens. Another thing that Kai loves, is to speak to animals using his power to speak to them telepathically. (More about that explained later.) He also likes to play with his Fire... But he almost never does, because it seems most Fire wielders are seen as a destructive force that will only ever burn and destroy everything around them. So, he tends to keep his element a bit of a secret, only really using it to light a campfire, usually when no-one is looking or in extreme conditions, to fight.

And lastly, Kai has one bad temper if you ever manage to make him mad. Most of the time, he only ever gets highly annoyed or irritated, making him very snappy and rude. He almost never gets truly mad. But when he does, you best hope there is a Water user or his companion, Ava, nearby... For when Kai gets mad, he sometimes loses control of his Fire and he will burn everything around himself. One thing that usually happens, is an 'aura' of fire will surround Kai's body, making approaching him impossible. Ava is the only person that can calm him down without the use of force when he gets into that enraged state.

Skill(s):
● Swordsmanship
Kai is a master swordsman. He wields his Katana like an extension of his arm, moving it around gracefully and swiftly. He learned all his skills from Ava and a few others as they traveled from place to place, meeting new teachers and masters that could teach them what they wanted to know.

● Magic
Kai is a master of the Fire element. He can summon a flame from nothing and perfectly control any type of fire. It drains his energy, but he can use his Fire as a weapon if needed. Kai gained mastery of his Fire at a very young age and uses it only when he has to.
He also has the power to telepathically communicate to almost all animals. This power of his is rather weak, seeing as Fire is his main Magic and because of this he sometimes has a very hard time getting an animal to understand him. He often uses his power to keep wild animals away from were he has set up camp by using the Magic to sense if a dangerous animal is nearby and then sends a strong emotional wave of energy at the animal to scare it off. Also, he will try to speak to a pack animal that refuses to walk, giving it soothing emotional energy as well as an urge to move, as if it will be left behind otherwise. Besides his ability to somewhat project emotions to an animal, he can understand what most animals say normally. He can understand what it is a bird is signing about or why the dogs in the streets are barking. But, he can do nothing more than listen or try to project emotions to the animals. More then anything though, he loves to just listen to the wild animals and creatures, learning things from them that no humanoid would ever know. He especially loves to listen to birds.

● Martial arts
Mastery of a martial art takes patience, practice and time. Kai has plenty of all three so he has been able to become an advanced student in multiple martial art forms. Kick boxing, Taekwondo and Hapkido are the main three martial art forms that Kai uses and has almost mastered.

● Shape shifting
As a Ferogen, Kai is an extreme oddity. He is one of only a few ever born that can stay in Animal form far longer then any others without any bad side effects, like permanently obtaining a feature of the animal he stayed as.
Kai has many different forms... Also, because of this ability, Kai can change his body in any way he wants. This gives him unlimited abilities to see in the dark, heightened senses of hearing, smell or anything, really.

● List of Kai's forms (Will update as he gains more)
Canines: Young Wolf, Adult Wolf
Felines: Black Panther
Birds: Raven
Rodents: Black-footed Ferret
Reptiles: Spitting Cobra
Water creatures: Sea Dragon-[X]
Others: Blue Dragon, Black Dragon

Vulnerabilities: One of Kai's biggest weaknesses is from his greatest power, his ability to shapeshift. Kai can shapeshift quickly and easily, and even stay as an animal for extreme extended periods of time... The downside? He cannot change from one form to another more than a few times in a short period of time. He can maybe shift two or three times in an hour, but would then be unable to shift again without exerting an extreme amount of energy, making the shift not even really worth it most of the time, as he would be completely drained afterward, unable to hardly even move.
Another thing would be his Magic. Kai is a Fire user and gifted with the ability called "Animal" an ability to commune with the creatures of the world. His ability with Animal really has no flaws... The only thing is he might mistakenly anger an animal by confusing it. And, depending on what the beast is, depends on the severity of the situation. As for his Fire Magic... Kai has pretty much mastered it. The only real dangers here are if he gets mad, out of control or tries to use Fire when extremely tired...

Weapon(s):
● Sword: Katana
Kai has a well made Katana that he keeps on him at all times when not in an animal form. He wears it either on his left hip, or strapped to his back. The Katana was a gift from a kindly old man that he and Ava met one day, who just so happened to be the towns best sword-smith.

● Martial arts
Kai is an advanced student of Kick boxing, Taekwondo and Hapkido. He will not hesitate to use what he has learned in self defense or to defend his companion, Ava. ((Click the names and follow the link for more info on them))

● Magic
Being a Master of Fire at such a young age can be a scary thing... But Kai has managed to overcome the fear of losing himself to the Flame and can use it in almost any way he pleases. Most commonly, Kai will produce Flame around his hands and throw fireballs at his enemy or make a flamethrower type jet stream of fire fly from his hands. His favorite way to fight with his fire is to surround his Katana's blade with fire as he fights with it.

History: Kai has no memory other than his own name from his life beyond when he was found by a young girl... He was wandering, lost and confused as a wolf cub when a girl found him, half starved and dying. She took him in, rescuing the young wolf from death... Or so she thought it was a wolf... For a long period of time he kept his human self a secret from the girl. But finally, one day, he showed her the truth of his being. Amazingly she just accepted it with no real problems at all, even seeming to be happy that her friend could now talk to her! She kept him a secret from everyone though, as she wasn't allowed any "pets" and if she brought some strange half naked boy home..? Yeah, that wouldn't have ended very well, either. So she kept him hidden outside or as a small animal in the house...

One day, a few enraged Drakes came into the town, rampaging and destroying most everything in their path, killing and eating animals and people alike. One came into the house he and the girl, Ava, lived in... It attacked, scoring Ava across the throat. Kai went mad with rage and attacked the large black dragon-like creature! He shifted into an adult wolf and burst forward from his hiding place, flames dancing from his claws as he viciously defended his sister. Amazingly, he fought off the creature, and it, along with the other Drakes left the desolated town, the raging black wolf with fire claws hot on their heels, howling barking and growling at them until they were gone from sight and sound...
Kai was accepted into the town, and lived normally with Ava for the next few years... It was hard on him, his sister having been almost killed and robbed of her speech... But he stood by, watching over her and the whole town.

Soon, Ava was introduced to some fellow and she went to work for him, Kai following her as a companion. They traveled many places, Kai usually hiding as a ferret or snake as she did her jobs... Though he did learn much. She taught him a lot of what she herself learned. And so it went for the next few years... Learning, training and journeying across the lands became their life... Until one night... Both he and Ava had the same odd dream...

Other: None, atm

SPOILER: Click to show

Name: Avantasia Iavali

Age: 20
Gender: Female

Race: Human

Job: Cryptologist / Messenger

• A Cryptologist is a decoder skilled in the analysis of codes and cryptograms.
• Cryptology is the practice and study of hiding information. -- Concerned solely with message confidentiality (Ex: Encryption) -- conversion of messages from a comprehensible form into an incomprehensible one, and back again at the other end, rendering it unreadable by interceptors or eavesdroppers without secret knowledge (namely, the key needed for decryption of that message).

Magic Element: Air & Telepathy

• Avantasia's Telepathy does not grant her the power to read other character's minds, but it does allow her project thoughts and images. However, her thoughts come as feelings and emotions, not coherent words. So she can not speak in any way.

Appearance Description:

• Image: [X]
• Height: 5' 6"
• Weight: 126lbs.

Ava has a very slender, yet athletic build. A solid muscle structure shows the woman's body to be healthy and sturdy, built for running and having complete control over her physical abilities and movements. Soft tanned skin adds an overall healthy glow that compliments eye, hair and clothing color. Avantasia's eyes are a light blue, almost white in color, which show up even lighter against the black colored powder makeup rings that circle around them that curve up towards the corners of her eyes to give the woman's face a more elegant and exotic look. Ava has rather smooth and well toned features, adding to her overall attractiveness that seems to get the attention of both male and female alike. Thin, clean eyebrows bend in smooth arches above each eye, accenting the already angled appearance the makeup had created. Such features give Avantasia an intimidating yet piercing gaze that seems to have so much to say and ask, yet remains silent... Light mid-back length white hair is kept up in a clip just behind her head (and sometimes left down). The few loose strands that hang by her face bring out just how light in color her eyes truly are. Some of the layered strands of hair are woven with feathers that stick out from behind Ava's head or just hang about in the strands. Black, white, and gray, the feathers adding more uniqueness to her appearance. (Some feathers are actually pens that she uses to write.) As for her clothing, it ranges from light silks to some pieces of chain mail/leather. It depends on what the situation calls for, and if she has time to change. (Clothing is the same as the image.)

• Markings: Ava's throat is normally covered, but if left exposed, one would notice the jagged claw marks scaring the skin around her throat.


Weapons:

• Hybrid Bow:
Much stiffer than a re-curve or longbow, her compound bow is more energy efficient. When the cable is drawn back, it causes the wheels at each end of the bow to turn. In this case, the wheels wind the cables, which bend the limbs inward and store more energy behind the shot. This increases range, speed, damage and accuracy. The bow also allows her to fire more than one arrow at a time.

• Arrows:
Dangerously designed arrows with four razor sharp steel blades surrounding a sharp tip. These are known for pinpoint accuracy, penetration and strength. Specifically designed to take down large and small targets, these are designed to penetrate and cause massive hemorrhaging. Some of the arrows Ava carries are enchanted and woven with spells. Making them harmful to creatures of dark magic. However, to create such arrows costs a lot of hard earned money. So these are for self defense only, and are identifiable by the yellow/golden colored swirls that dance around the tips.

• Blade:
Two short-sabers/swords. This is for mostly self defense and close combat. It can be used for survival and other uses, but Ava rarely uses it for such. Luckily, as a gift for completing her assigned jobs quickly and flawlessly, she was given these blades, which were woven with some protective spells to keep them from breaking and dulling.

Other Skills:

• Ava is very educated on Lore and the creatures/plants that live throughout the land. This gives her a good head start when it comes to running into something many people don't see too often. Ex: Sirens, Kelpies, Drakes, etc.

• Being a messenger and master of the language arts, she can project her thoughts in a couple different languages as well as write in them.

• Self Defense: Having to relay important messages back and forth between certain destinations leaves Avantasia exposed to many elements and individuals. When it comes to self defense, Ava isn't that strong of a fighter. However, she is rather fast for a human. Quick and short confrontations are her main strength when it comes to fighting. Agile and flexible, Avantasia is able to use her environment to her advantage such as climbing, hiding, etc. Because of her build, Ava does not do well in close range combat with a stronger foe. So to ensure her safety, Ava will attack fast, repeatedly, and escape the second an opening is granted to her.

• Weapon Skill (Blade): In some cases, Ava is unable to run. A few times this has occurred in the past, so she has taken the time to get some lessons in fighting with a short blade. This is a skill Ava enjoys. In her spare time, before the sun sets for the night, she tends to practice with the weapon to better her skills and technique. When she is in her home town, Ava tends to spend a few days sparring and practicing with other skilled fighters to help keep her abilities sharp and useful. Surprisingly, Ava isn't that bad with a blade. In most cases she preforms quite well, but she is no expert in the field.

• Weapon Skill (Bow): This skill is Avantasia's greatest ability when it comes to using a weapon. Archery has been a favorite ability of hers since childhood. Given near perfect vision and a good eye for picking out a target, Ava can be rather dangerous with such a weapon. Used for hunting and self defense, most of her ability shines when this weapon is needed/used. - Because of the type of bow she uses, Avantasia is able to fire up to three arrows at once, adding to the already massive damage her arrows already cause, with the fact she rarely ever misses.

• Outdoor Survival: As for outdoor survival. Avantasia is no novice when it comes to surviving. Some relays she is assigned to take her way passed her own comfort zone. Sending her places she had never even heard of in neither rumors or stories. Because of this, her skills with surviving till the next town must be accurate and dependable if the woman is to survive. This keeps Ava on her toes when it comes to making sure she practices and adapts when she has to.

• First Aid: Confrontations with beast and humanoid alike are very common when traveling, especially alone. This means Ava will have to be able to treat her own injuries. Basic first aid is something a little new to her, but it has saved her a lot of grief and trouble over the last few years. So minor injuries are now easily cured by her own materials and knowledge of the land. Scrapes, bruises, gashes, punctures and some broken bones are things Ava can easily handle... Depending on the severity.

• Minor Magic: This magic is simply used to heal minor wounds. Though this is used sparring, for it takes a lot of her energy. She is human, and was never born with the real ability to use magic, so this magic can almost never be used in combat. Another small ability is for her to create sparks by snapping her fingers. Though it seems useless, it certainly helps with starting a campfire.

History: Born in the small town of Ikeron (Hyux), Avantasia was raised in a family of three. Being so young, she often left the safety of her town to go on pretend 'adventures'. Little did she know that one of these adventures would lead her to find a small abandoned wolf cub. Or at least, that is what she assumed at first. Being so young, and naive, Ava took the malnurished pup home with her, and in secret, raised him back to health while also forming a deep friendship... Until one day, that pup reveal to her that it was not just a wolf she had saved. But a young Ferogan who went by the name of Kai. Regardless of this fact though, Avantasia stuck with her friend, who seemed to prefer staying in many different animal forms. Which, really, only made it easier to hide him and keep him close during the next few years of her life...
At the young age of 12, Ava was badly injured when a small group of Drakes invaded her home town. A claw from one of the violent creatures struck the girl's throat, damaging the vocal chords and almost removing her ability to speak... Luckily, Kai was able to save her before the drake could finish her off... Which only revealed his presence, but also gained the trust of her parents as well as the rest of the town...
Eventually, she recovered and was treated equally despite her newly acquired mute disability, and had no trouble fitting in as the quiet one of the group. At times it was very frustrating to be unable to communicate, because of this, Ava soon developed a very strong patience and a wide array of hand motions and actions to get her messages across... Most of the time the actions can be misinterpreted, so she simply writes her messages when she can or use her Telepathy ability.

At the age of 16, her father introduced her to a man who went by the name Ferden. He was quick to hire Avantasia. Assigning her to work for him and his small group of followers that actually required a messenger to relay messages between other related groups throughout the land, as a Cryptologist / Messenger. This ment working fast, and carefully, so none of the information got into the wrong hands... Not that it was a major issue, especially when Kai was with her... Because of her disability, she was the perfect person for the job. Willing to accept the offer, Ava quickly began to study alphabets and symbols of different languages and codes; in return, Ferden taught her lesser magic and the ability to speak through her thoughts (Telepathy), while also helping her gain back the ability to whisper...
Now with years of experience in her newly acquired abilities, Avantasia soon became a brilliant and quick thinker in her passion, creating codes and languages only she understood to ensure the security of such messages... While also sharing her knowledge and companionship with her shapeshifter companion.

Recently, due to the events across Gelbaron, Avantasia has stopped taking requests in the messenger field. Instead, she has reluctantly taken on her duty to follow what the spirit has requested of her... Through her dreams...

Personality: Avantasia has developed an amazing amount of patience due to her disability. Unable to just blurt out ideas, or just plain sentences at all, Ava has had to try and use different ways to communicate. Some ways being more frustrating than others. After so many problems and misunderstandings, Ava has become patient with most beings. With her love of adventure and discovery, Ava is a very open minded and friendly person, willing to try and understand anyone or anything she comes into contact with. - Proud, outgoing and trustworthy, Ava is usually always smiling, sometimes enjoying her time away from people and the problems they bring.

Vulnerabilities: Most of Avantasia's weaknesses are given with her abilities and other categories in the profile. However, just like every other human she can become tired, poisoned, injured, etc. Her abilities all remain within natural human capabilities besides the magic.

Other:

• Mount: Raised from a foal, Ava's mount is a Piebald Gypsy Vanner Stallion who she named Sil'in. With a powerful build and compact body, this large beast stands at 15 hands high. His chest is broad with well sprung ribs, heavy hips, and a strong back and shoulders. The legs are heavy bone set on large hooves with an abundance of hair and "feather" ( long hair starting at the cannon bone and flowing down over the hooves ). The most attractive trait of such a beast is the long flowing mane and tail that glide with his movements. Born with excellent endurance, this stallion is capable of going long distances without tiring, making him a suitable mount for a messenger like Avantasia. (Sil'in can not communicate in any way.)

Username: Yoko
Name: Tasan Swithin
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Race: Avixan
Magic Element: Water

Companion: None

Appearance: Tasan is considered a child amongst his people and it reflects in his stature. A mere four feet and six inches tall, the Avixan boy almost always has his head tilted up to see people’s faces. His Blue Jay wings stretch a few inches above his shoulders when folded. When the blue-hued rainbow spreads, their beautiful black and white-dotted blue feathers stretch to five feet. The wings are small and taut, with nearly rounded shape so that full spread they make an almost circle. These wings are built for speed and maneuvering, similar to the lithe body and tight muscles of the boy.

Tasan has a moon-like complexion, as one of the few of his people who do not soar long in the Sunlight. His face is a small white oval, like the dots on his feathers, capped with short wavy black hair. Beneath the tender raven loops and heavy onyx arches, his dark blue eyes gleam darkly. His sloping nose is certainly no harsh beak of a bird, but from a distance it seems almost invisible. A non-affectionate name dubbed to him by jealous rivals is “noseless wonder”.

In sharp contrast to the darker blues of his wings, Tasan wears a light-weight silver armor over silky white undergarments. The armor is more to prevent puncture wounds than to protect him from pain. Off his shoulders spring short curled silver like flower petals. His chest plate is smooth and gray, non-reflective to the sunlight. His legs are encased by flexible material, should he need to make a rough landing.

Personality: There was a time when Tasan was a caring, obedient, and honorable son of his Clan. He was never the most graceful or tactful, or kind-hearted, but he was the average good. Sadly, he has fallen below that mark for four years straight.
The new Tasan is impatient. He is unable to pay attention to any one person for more than a few moments. He is almost constantly on the move, making it hard to get news o him, or assign him chores. On the other hand, because he doesn’t like waiting around, he’s become adept at foraging for food as opposed to waiting around for a cooked meal.

He prefers to do things himself, so team work and flying formations are never his strong point. Sometimes he will purposely fall out of a flying formation to try a few tricks, or simply cause a stir. The work that his family manages to get him to do is very well-done. He doesn’t like working for other people’s benefit, but that doesn’t mean he is inefficient.

Being highly impulsive, Tasan has great instincts in flying and combat. In flying, his impulses become a ballet of dips, dives, loops, and spirals. The dangers of his movements are distracted from by his beauty and grace in flight. But where combat is concerned, long term strategy is not possible for him. Even thinking two or three moves ahead is a serious struggle.

Tasan is innately curious. He is not very educated, nor is he a fast learner. However, like a hound-dog sniffing out cooked meats, once Tasan finds something intriguing, he will hunt it to the ends of the Earth. His curiousness is not limited by practicality, entertainment, or moral value.

Selfish and ruthless, Tasan is always looking out for Tasan. Those that are an immediate threat to his health are “ended”, but revenge never enters his mind. His ways are limited to survival and self-interest. The only rule he lives by is that his interest is the only one that matters. Once this is established, it becomes very clear that even IF Tasan gets along well with someone, their lives are no more than specks of dust on his shirt. Their deaths are easily brushed off. It may seem to others a cold and lonely way to live, but it suits him well. A life full of light-hearted fun and laughter with no attachments is his life…well, aside from his mother, who he has deeply shamed. He tries to ignore that he has hurt her and hides his care well, but he has not met her gaze with his eyes in a very long time.

Skill(s): Archery~ He carries a thin and flexible bow as well as light weight arrows with blue feathers at their tails. These arrows are not built to kill, they are far too light. But they can would areas that effect movement, joints. (weapon upgrade for this possible in story?)

Short swordsmanship~ Similar to the bow and arrow, Tasan’s short sword is made of light weight material. However, the sword is considerably sharper to make up for the lack of weight behind it.

Acrobatics~ Tasan’s wings and body are built for fast maneuvering so tricks and flips are not difficult. In close combat he is more likely to duck, dodge, and flee than to attempt striking with his tiny sword.

Water Abilities~ Nothing impressive. He has slight healing abilities but would only waste that kind of energy on himself. Making a water whip is about the only offense he can do, and it usually costs more energy than it is worth.

Vulnerabilities:

Attacks that don’t kill~ The likeliness that Tasan will kill someone in battle is low. This is not from lack of desire to finish an opponent, but usually from lack of power and weapons that can inflict deadly injuries. So usually his only means of surviving battles is escape, and when that is not possible he is in serious trouble.

Night Vision~ He doesn’t see very well in the dark, so often he flies high and in open air at night, making him vulnerable to arrows or simply being spied upon.

Treachery~ He is easily swayed if something is in it for him. He’s not very good at perceiving when people are lying. In attempts to make up for this, he trusts no one, but that doesn’t do much good when plans rely on more than just himself. He is open falling into traps under promise of great rewards.

Wings~ He has very delicate tiny wings so wing injuries are quite possible and make his movements and possible escapes difficult. Wing injuries are painful and tend to drip blood trails after him.


Weapon(s): small sword, mini bow and arrow

History: Tasan’s was born to a young Avixan with sparrow wings, explaining his own small and delicate Blue Jay ones. His older siblings, however, inherited their father’s wings, long and powerful. His elder brothers teased and tugged at Tasan’s small wings to such a point that he never felt kinship with them. Nor was he close to his own father. His younger years were spent at his mother’s side, helping her do chores and learning proper manners. At that time, the teasing and lack of connection to his father and brothers did not affect him so.

It was when Tasan was ten years of age and old enough to go flying with the other men of the family that he began to change. In formation, Tasan always stayed closest to his Uncle, an owl-winged Avixan. It was his Uncle who taught him the finer skills of archery and many of the impressive sky-tricks he knows today. As he acquired these skills from his patient Uncle, Tasan became more well-liked with the men of his family. But it was too late. Uncle was already teaching Tasan how to be his own man and how no one would ever truly accept them both for who they are. His Uncle was part of one of the warring factions, fighting against and other creatures in power. The reason for the battles was never clear, but Tasan always participated for his own gains. He and his Uncle were rewarded separately and very well for their work. Stealing, and hiding evidence of murdered humans also became part of the lesson, and Tasan’s heart no longer had room for his ever-growing family. He was extra careful to keep distance from his mother, understanding that she was the reason he had been so soft in his youth.

Now he is fourteen, and distrustful of everyone. He is proudly selfish and cares nothing for his father, brothers, and baby sister. But he is bored. With such darkness inside of him, what satisfaction can gathering food and building materials for the family provide? None. And so, his new adventure begins.

Other: Family playable for anyone who wants it.
