I've completed my Zaba's bio so I will post it here now so you can read it at your leisure, I'm still brainstorming for my second character. He'll most likely be becoming one of the Princess' bodyguards early on. Lemme' know if anything is wrong with it.

-------------

Name: Lucidus Ferrum
Nickname: Lion Blood
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Race: Half-Zaba, Half-Human
Birthplace: Balaria

General Description: PICTURE (Ignore name in bottom corner). The most striking part about Lucidus is his mane of long, green hair. While on his right side it is somewhat more tame, on his left it lashes out in several long, curving spikes. He has a somewhat broad yet soft face, most of its frame is hidden by his hair. His sharp eyes are the colour of amber, though it is hard for many to tell due to his fringe covering most of his face. His skin is well toned in build, his unseemly appearance hides the sinew muscles underneath his flesh. He stands tall at 6'1 and can often be seen with a dreamy and almost content smile upon his face.

His clothes consist of a simple purple long-sleeved jacket, parted near the top and his collar erect. A tight, black under-shirt for additional warmth. On his lower body he wears a pair of black, tight slacks that took into his brown, near knee-high leather boots. Over the top of all this he wears a long, beautiful robe of pale blue with a golden trim and equally golden intricate designs swirling near the edges. The sleeves of this robe are very baggy so during combat Lucidus will often abandon the sleeve on his right to have better time accessing his weapons. Around his waist he keeps the robe from flapping with a simple emerald green sash, which has the symbol of a lion head attached to it rather than tied.

In his sash he keeps his katana and wakazashi, both for easy access for either of his hands.

Elements(if any): While Lucidus doesn't possess any innate magical ability, he can access the elements of Fire and Lightning through his weapons.

Weapon(s): Lucidus carries upon him two different weapons. A katana by the name of 'Sol' which has a golden handle, a small white guard, a beautiful silver blade that reaches over two and a half feet in length and is kept inside a red sheath. His secondary weapon is a Wakazashi that goes by the name of 'Luna'. It has a blue handle, a golden oval guard, a short silver blade reaching just over a foot in length and a navy blue sheath to hold it. Both of the blades were forged from special Dwavern ores inlaid into them, making them near indestructible.

Both weapons have been blessed with a different element, and Lucidus has spent many years mastering both. The katana Sol can burst into flames on command, sweeping great trails of flames with it that can extend well over thirty metres in length. Luna possesses the power to summon lighting, either crackling around its small blade to deal powerful electrical damage to its opponents to either paralyse them or render them unconscious or shoot bolts of electricity from its very tip for more distant attacks.

Both weapons' strength in magic seem to lean more towards that of Tales type magic due to their total potential might, but have weaker Charter magic abilites that Lucidus has fine-tuned for his use.

Attacks: Lucidus is well renowned for being a Master Swordsman, and anyone who watches him fight will know why. His strokes are all very precise and deadly and his footwork is amazingly fluid. He can switch effortlessly between weapons and fights by either keeping one drawn at all times or rapidly switching between them to overwhelm and confuse enemies. The majority of the time he doesn't have to rely on his weapon's elements, as he can usually tear his opponent to pieces within seconds with his amazing form.

Lucidus' slashes are so incredibly fast and precise that he can deflect flying projectiles of either arrow or even magic variety with little ease. He is also very adept in martial arts, as they have helped to fine-tune his body and push his physical fitness so not even a scrap of his body is wasted on fat. While he doesn't particularly like naming his techniques, the ones he has developed, refined and truly proud of have all gained the names such as:

- Blazing Trail: A flurry of overwhelming fire slashes with the katana Sol that extend to impossible ranges and sever through even the most toughest hide like a hot knife through butter. At the end Lucidus sheaths his sword before unleashing a very powerful, arc slash that burns at half of the heat of the very sun.

- Moonlight Dance: A deadly barrage of high-speed thrusts preformed with Lucidus' Wakazashi Luna, all piercing the opponent's nerves with extending streaks of electrical energy and rendering them immobile. Lucidus draws back and shoots a final bolt of lighting that pierces his opponent's heart.

- Full Cycle: A large combination attack with both the Sol and Luna. Lucidus greatly increases his speed and goes into a frenzy of slashes, switching between both swords every few slashes. He draws back at the end he wields both weapons in each hand and unleashes a cutting technique which create shock waves of Fire and Thunder that sever the overwhelmed adversary into quarters.

Lucidus has a final technique that he has only ever used once, but no one has so much as heard of whisper of its name or its technique, only a whisper of its destructive power as it reduced his mocking enemy to nothing more than human ash.

Personality: Lucidus comes across as a very relaxed and gentle person. He is often wearing a warm smile upon his face and is very kind, honourable man who is always willing to offer his help to those who are in true need of it, even if it means putting their lives before his. He isn't afraid to speak his mind, even if it involves downright insulting someone. In easy battles he comes across as very bored, as though he isn't getting a feeling of challenge at all. He even goes so far as to talking about random topics such as what he is going to have for dinner, even discussing it with the person who he is fighting if no one else. However, in battles that really get his blood rushing he takes on a new face, seemingly turning fierce and feral, gnashing his teeth and letting loose roars of excitement.

He possesses a strong sense of pride for a Zaba, being proud he was born the way he was and loves to encourage those of a similar race not to give into the insults and the horrid stares they may receive. He hates discrimination with a burning passion, and his calm face can be switched to one of utter fury if someone dares insult one of his kind. Lucidus also possesses the ability to sense the good and bad in someone, and can tell if they are pure of heart or are filled with sinful emotions and desires. He has a vast appetite and is also very fond of steak, preferring them to be cooked Rare.

“The bloodier, the better!” ~Actual quote overheard by a resident of Ralam from Lucidus.

Brief Personal Details/History: Lucidus was born to a Human mother and a Zaba father in the remote village of Balaria. His father was part-lion and as such Lucidus gained a number of his traits such as his yellow eyes, sharp teeth, a strong sense of pride, increased strength and agility and a large appetite. His father was a ferocious warrior who fought with nothing but the claws and teeth he was born with, and always taught Lucidus to be proud of the blood that flowed through his veins. Not long after Lucidus was actually born the family was forced out of the village, as the fellow Zaba would not allow a human woman to stay amongst them. Lucidus' father normally had seen his mother in secret, but now they had a child there was no way of concealing his hidden family's existence. The family travelled to the Capital in hopes that they could start a new there, and they were able to get jobs and build a small life for themselves on the outskirts of the actual City.

The life wasn't easy, as Lucidus was always considered an outcast from the other children growing up due to his eyes and how his father was a Zaba. He grew so tired of his eyes being made fun of that he began to grow his green hair long to attempt to cover his eyes, but it only further proved his blood as it began to form a mane upon his very head. His father always told him to keep his chin up and brush off the insults, that lions were prideful animals and the petty insults of man meant nothing to that of a species that could be considered royalty. But Lucidus didn't share his father's views, he dreamt of an idyllic world where all the races lived together in peace and not have to suffer at the hands of discrimination. This dream was sorely tested on the day his father died and his mother taken from him when he was just over the age of sixteen.

A large mob of mysterious people had come to drive the family away, finally discovering the existence of such a family when they had tried so hard to conceal themselves. Lucidus' father massacred well over fifty of them to protect his son and wife, yet he was not invincible and he fell heavily wounded as the injuries amassed and overcame him. His mother managed to hide Lucidus under the floorboards before the remainder of the mob broke down the door to the small home. Lucidus could only look on in horror as his mother was dragged away by the unruly mob, the last time he ever got to see her gentle motherly smile and long, green hair.

Lucidus' rage heated his insides like a volcano, and he swore that he would get vengeance. At the age of twenty he got his revenge, seeking down the remnants of the mob who were all bounty hunters. He slaughtered them all, sparing not one of them mercy be they man or woman. However he felt discontent, empty. He felt like he had nothing left after the four years of vigorous training and the countless hours of searching for leads on his father's killers. He was alone, and had nothing but bloody corpses and a short lifetime of scattered memories to prove it. Then a light came to him a few days later in a dream, the light that was the innocent dream of his childhood to seek an equal world. He decided this would be his new goal in life, to make the world a fair and equal place where no one had to die because of their blood.

He quickly became a hero to several of the races. He fought for the Elves, Dwarves, Aquadas and of course the Zaba, travelling to their homes over land and sea and defending them all against the injustice he has suffered. When anyone ever asked him whether he was human he would simply reply; “I am not a human nor am I an animal, I am a blade that must sever discrimination.” He became more renowned among the humans too, defeating several other famous warriors such as Glen the best Archer in the land, easily able to deflect every arrow he fired towards him. Linus, the swift scythe user who couldn't even land a blow upon Lucidus despite him never moving from the spot. He was also responsible for the defeat of a cruel tyrant lord Lundgred, who was keeping female Zaba of his suiting for malicious and disgusting fetish purposes.

The Dwarves and Elves came together and worked on two magnificent gifts for him. A katana and a wakazashi forged by the Dwarves with the strongest silver and ores to make them impervious and blessed with the magic that the Elves possessed to imbue them with magical properties. Lucidus received them with gratitude and promised to use them to aid in his long quest to make the races all truly equal. The recent word of the failing crystals and the Princess has reached his ears, and Lucidus has decided to once again become involved with the affairs of mankind. Whether or not he lends his blades depends entirely on the Princess, whether he sense purity within her or sins that would make him turn his blade against her.

Sorry about the vast length of the History, tried to make it as short as possible. Time to get back to brainstorming.

As a huuuuuuuge Fire Emblem fan, I totally love your character, xReplica. Especially the Luna/Sol weapons. Will he combine them to one giant Aether sword?

Everything looks good Nero (I hope you don't mind me calling you that. I just know you as Nero ha)

The only thing I noticed was that it's "Balaria" and not "Balarisa" :]

The picture was a nice add too!

I'll go ahead and add you then.

I've been editing some stuff as well, so everyone just keep checking the first post. I'm thinking about adding some new places, and possibly doing a map.

[Archer]

Name: Firanis Cyredanea (lit. Dark dawn, warrior of the night)

Nickname: “Prince of Darkness” (self-appointed title), “The Broken Man” (a name passed around through popular rumor and folklore)

Gender: Male

Age: Can modify his appearance, but often appears 20-30. Real age is closer to 400.

Race: Once an Elf, now a Drow (first of his kind)

Birthplace: Unknown

General Description: Taller than the average man, and stronger, too. Firanis was once an average Elf, but in recent times (as in, past 100 years), he has warped beyond Elven description. Now, he stands apart as an entirely new race. His long, silver hair extends to the middle oh his back, where the tips gradually end with a golden color. His skin often changes tone. One day, he's deep purple, blending in with the midnight sky. Other days, he can be ghostly white. His rich yellow eyes never change, however.
He has recently notices that small, horn-like protrusions are slowly growing out of his head. His teeth are sharpening like fangs, too. His eyelids and lips are slowly darkening, soon they will be black in color...
His ears, however, have always retained their leaf-like, pointy Elven shape.

When not wearing conjured armor, Firanis walks the earth in a fairly unique outfit. He wears a well-fitting silk shirt, adorned with golden patterns and royal blue dye, under a majestic robe. The clothing is identical to what the ancient Elven sages would wear.

Elements(if any): Fire, Ice, Earth, Wind, Lightning, Water, Light, Dark

Weapon(s): Firanis doesn't own any specific weapon. Rather, he conjures weapons with incredible magic ability.

Attacks:
Conjure Armor: Firanis has the ability to summon arms and armor at will. With this ability, Firanis conjures any type of armor that he has seen in his lifetime. He frequently summons a suit of intricate, gold-colored plate armor. He is only limited to armor he as seen in his lifetime.

Conjure Blade: Like Conjure Armor, Firanis summons any weapons he has seen. As he despises guns and all related weapons with a passion, he only chooses to conjure blades. His most trusted conjuration is a long, curved sword. Not quite a katana, this sword is of ancient elven make, and the tip points down with a small hook.

Magic: Firanis has masterful control over all primary elements. He can manipulate them to his will. However, he has not mastered secondary elements (Spirit, Metal, Life, etc.).

Corruption: Firanis can use his blood to warp any ordinary Elf, into an evil Drow.

Firanis has also developed many more techniques. Few have ever been used in combat, however.

Personality: As an Elf, Firanis was a selfless hunter for his clan. He was soft-spoken and compassionate, caring deeply for his wife and all the Elves of his clan. He was a bit curious too, and this curiosity eventually led to the downfall of his gentle Elven life, and gave rise to a dark new presence.

The Prince of Darkness, however, is vastly different from his original Elven persona. His twisted, corrupted mind finds value in few things. He respects power, and seeks it with any resources he can use. He seems to be a merciless being, as he has slain anything that has stood in his path. However, he is not the type of being who will raze a village for a laugh. If he seeks something, he will find it, and he will not hesitate to kill any who try to stop him.

His subordinates recognize him as an understanding, if somewhat maniacal, leader. If you're strong, Firanis treats you with respect. As said before, he greatly values power. The result of his values leads his order of followers to be composed of strong-willed, deadly beings.
Firanis is also a sucker for a good fight. He respects opponents who can actually be a challenge in combat.

Brief Personal Details/History: Once upon a time, when the land was much more peaceful, a young Elven hunter found himself away from the woods. He grew worried, as he could not find his way back home. After wandering for hours, maybe days, the Elf was on the verge of giving up. He needed food, shelter... Soon, he stumbled across an old, forgotten land. At the heart, the Elf discovered an old ruin. He couldn't comprehend how old this place was, and he had no idea what kind of dangers may lurk. The Elf was swallowed by curiosity, though, and it led him to explore the ruins...
The Elf wandered aimlessly through the rubble. There was not much there. Until... he came across an ornate slab, buried under broken stone and junk. He worked for hours, utilizing all his strength to clear the rubble, as he was mesmerized by the slab. Eventually, everything was clear, and the Elf was left standing above the mysterious runes on the ornate slab. He was... overcame by some unknown force. He heard whispers in his head. He was told to reach down, to touch the slab. And so he did... once his fingers made contact with the cold, hard stone, a black vortex appeared, and absorbed the essence of the Elf. He disappeared, sucked into the slab, and the ruins became quite. Eerily serene.

In fifteen days, the ruins were once again met by activity. The slab rumbled, the dark vortex appearing once again. This time, a being stepped out, using it's own will. Was it the Elven hunter?! No, it resembled him, but this... thing, was different. It was dark, twisted. It's silver and gold hair glittered in the moonlight. Yellow eyes shining with fierce passion. The being stepped forward, entering the mortal world. For a new age had set upon the land, the age of terror.

This being eventually adopted a new title. It began calling itself the Prince of Darkness, and it's mind gave birth to a new faith. Said faith was called the Creed of the Moon. With principles dedicated to the quest for power, the Prince of Darkness soon gathered followers. He took the worst being in the world, men and beasts who were no longer accepted by society, and promised them power. The Prince knew of one way to gain ultimate power: the Evenos Crystals. The Prince and his Creed set out to terrorize the world, searching for the crystals and acquiring other means of power along the way. However, their efforts have proven to be... less than effective. The Creed is growing in strength and power, and the Prince is growing ever more impatient...

I will add you then Archer :]

Also, while looking through the old thread, I found a few pictures. I linked them to the places in the first post. I also found a thing GM made for like a banner, so I put it in the first post as well. Hopefully these pictures will help everyone visualize things better.

Hm, HotFire, I just thought of something. Would you like me to create a few minor antagonists, elite lackeys from the Creed of the Moon? They wouldn't be full characters, no, just psychos who terrorize the heroes. ?
