Character Bios:
Name: Colt Imas
Age: 19
Height: 6’2”
Eye Color: Steel-like light blue
Hair Color: Dark Brown
Hair Style: Straight with a slight curl to the ends
Weight & Build: 210 lbs - Slightly muscular
Clothing: Black pants, dark blue travel shirt and vest; dark green traveler’s cloak and plain shoes. Only when his wings are present will a thin light-weight suit of navy blue steel armor appear. An Aquamarine pendant adorns his neck.
Personality: Shy, cold and insensitive
Weapon(s): Twin Daggers and Twin Swords. The Twin Swords only appear with his armor, when his wings are present.
Trait(s): Good swordsmanship; an angel wing and a demon wing sprout from his back.
Disadvantage(s): Psychically weak; Alignment of good or evil is undecided.
Summary: Colt is the last survivor of the Azha, a remote people in Edenia. The Azha were subjected to Denethor's rule as his servants, due to a prophecy the race carried. The prophecy stated that a child with one black wing and one white wing would be born. When that time came, the final choice he made would ultimately uphold the light in Edenia or abolish it in darkness. Fearing the child, yet craving more power at the same time, Denethor enslaved the race. Years after his defeat, the child was born.
Colt is quiet and shy at times, never getting close to anyone. He has known of his prophecy for only about two years, when his village was by a man named Tentrath. Colt learned of his powers and abilities from a dying elder who was trying to save him. Colt has no relatives to speak of, his mother having died in child birth. Upon his neck lays a single pendant, Aquamarine in color. Colt is unsure of what it is, other than it has been given to him at the time of his birth. With the discovery of his abilities, Colt awakened two "Guardian Spirits" within himself. Neither has a true name nor a true form, but Colt instinctively knows which represents the light and the darkness. Both have Colt's safety in mind, but each sees its own way of achieving it.
Colt can be outwardly friendly to others, but he never lets anyone close to him; for fear of what may happen to them, if he should chose the wrong path to follow.
Name: Shinjo
Age: 21
Height: 6'0”
Eye Color: Brown
Hair Color: Dark Brown

Weight & Build: 145 - Average frame with average build
Clothing: Plain brown shirt (sleeves come down to elbow), black pants, black combat boots
Personality: Reserved, calm, focused
Weapon(s): Broadsword w/ornate pommel
Trait(s): Good morals, proficient with most swords, all purpose soldier
Disadvantage(s): Loses more of his humanity with each change to a Berserker.
Summary: A cacophony of voices ring through a busy street. In a word, Shinjo is that street, every emotion and skill set expressed mildly. For the most part he is a jack-of-all trades, not showing much expertise in any one subject. However, his one weakness would be his berserker rage. Every now and then his basic instinct to protect will drive him to frenzied acts, most of the time ending in bloodshed. His past is known only by himself, he doesn't openly tell people of how he came up. Other than his reluctance to be frank with people, Shinjo holds a pleasant atmosphere around himself. A conversation isn't too far out of place for anyone Shinjo comes across, though it may take some extra effort on the other person's part to initiate any verbal exchange.

Name: Blade
Age: Unknown
Height: 6'0”
Eye Color: Pale Blue, which glow red when he drinks blood.
Hair Color: Red
Hair Style: Short and tousled
Weight & Build: 145 lbs - Average frame with a very toned build.
Clothing: Faded Black tunic with the sleeves torn off at the shoulders, tattered black cape with a small hood he doesn't prefer to wear up. Faded black pants, the bottom of the right leg beginning to fray, faded black leather boots with metal soles that strangely don't make much noise as he walks. His hands and wrists are wrapped in bandages.
Personality: Rude, Lewd, but Dedicated
Weapon(s): A Crimson Red Scythe with a Jet Black shaft
Trait(s): Immortal with an inhuman level of strength he has yet to reveal, though his speed is lacking in comparison.
Disadvantage(s): Cursed with an incomplete existence; his fighting skills are unknown.
Summary: Blade is a vampire who could trace his existence back over 200 years ago, if it weren't for the fact that he's lost most of his memories. Blade used to be human and lacks the bite marks on his neck that would suggest that he had been turned. Rather, Blade used to be a selfish man seeking immortality like so many other foolish, before even Denethor. However, unlike the others, Blade managed to find a method to obtain his goal. The ritual he performed granted him eternal life, but at a cost - in order to continue his cursed existence, he would have to drink the blood of humans every few months, effectively becoming a vampire.
Like all vampires, Blade cannot be killed by conventional means, at least not normally. In fact, you could decapitate his head and he'd still come after you, though it would take him a while to recover and get his body back together. The only real way to truly kill a vampire is to destroy his or her heart, and Blade decided to take care of that little flaw himself. However, whatever it was that he did, he is rather loathe to share with others, and it seems to also be related to why he lacks memories from many years past.
Currently working as a mercenary for an employer whose name he doesn't even know, Blade is under orders to track down, observe, and safeguard the Guardian Aya until further notice.
Name: Hiku
Age: 25
Height: 5'11”
Eye Color: Emerald Green
Hair Color: Black with strange blue highlights
Hair Style: Short and somewhat messy
Weight & Build: 160 lbs - Average frame with very toned build.
Clothing: Similar to:
www.rpgfan.com/pics/lunarebr/art-hiro.jpgPersonality: Isolated
Weapon(s): One-handed sword called the Defender
Trait(s): Physically strong, strong swordsmanship.
Disadvantage(s): Tends to isolate himself from others and is rather stubborn; he cannot fully control the Defender without Mai's influence.
Summary: Hiku grew up in a small village near the Mohabi Desert in Edenia. He doesn't speak much of his childhood or his life in general. According to Mai, four years ago when their village was attacked by a creature merely known as the GIANT, Hiku attempted to use the treasure of the village, the Defender, to defeat the beast. However, Hiku failed when he underestimated the Defender's drain on his body. As a result, though the beast was injured and fled, his lover and Mai's sister, Eliza died protecting Hiku from a blast when he was left weakened. Hiku doesn't associate well with others and is rather harsh in personality. His only source of comfort seems to come from having Mai with him. Why they are traveling alone is still not understood, whether it be a complete accident or act of fate.
Name: Mai
Age: 14
Height: 5'5"
Eye Color: Violet
Hair Color: Black
Hair Style: Shoulder length tied in a ponytail
Weight & Build: 105 lbs – Petite frame with gentle features
Clothing: Similar in appearance to Hiku’s, only dull purple, gray and brown.
Personality: Cheerful
Weapon(s): None
Trait(s): Mysterious magic powers and extensive medical knowledge to deal with even the most bizarre of aliments.
Disadvantage(s): Physically weak and defenseless. She gets mad easily, especially with Hiku, and is known to hit people when she is frustrated.
Summary: Mai is a young girl under the care of Hiku; she acts as his support and traveling companion. She too grew up in the same small village. She was only ten when the GIANT attacked her village and killed everyone with the exception of herself and Hiku. After her sister Eliza died, Mai awoke her hidden power and provided Hiku with the energy he needed to ward off the GIANT. She has traveled with Hiku ever since, like a daughter, rarely leaving his side. Mai is a cheerful, friendly person; in a way, she has to be sociable for Hiku and deal with people when he refuses. She has amazing medical capabilities, being able to treat ailments that even the best doctors are unable to. Because Hiku seems to restrict her from directly fighting, Mai is frail on her own and would be the easy target of an attack. Her biggest drawback is her rather violent temper, though not strong, she tends to punch and kick men who make her angry.
Name: Aya
Age: Estimated at 24.
Height: 5'5"
Eye Color: Hazel
Hair Color: Blonde, various shades
Hair Style: Straight and waist length, very fluid, with a side-part. Bangs slightly cover her left eye.

i15.photobucket.com/albums/a356/kaname_chidori1983/PSO%20Comic%20Clothes/ARMOR-GWgeomancerpho.jpg with matching boots and a long, over-sized, dark green hooded cloak.
Personality: Protective
Weapon(s): Two dual-wielded twin swords:
i15.photobucket.com/albums/a356/kaname_chidori1983/RPG%20Thread/ayasswords.jpgTrait(s): Aya is an angel; she has divine powers, great agility and intuition. She has the ability to see the soul. Aya's blood also has healing properties. Well trained with various weapons and in hand-to-hand combat. Her complete abilities are unknown.
Disadvantage(s): Taking injuries to protect those around her. Despite having healing abilities, should she lose a large amount of blood or be injured badly enough that her healing cannot work quickly enough to compensate, she can die. Her physical strength is only slightly higher than that of the average female.
Summary: Aya's name is actually Arianna. She was married to a man in the small town of Olanther from the time she was seventeen to twenty. She was killed in her defiance when The Vainians came to her town and attempted to take her as a sacrifice for Denethor. About forty-five years later, she is resurrected as Aya, by a Saint. She had the same physical appearance that she did when she dies as Arianna. Aya did not remember her past, but accepted the training the Saints and Guardians offered her. She was officially announced a Guardian after four months of training, and shortly thereafter, accepted a mission from Kalinin Dumore in Hallow's Town to protect his adopted son, Oren. Oren is the reincarnation of the Demon God Denethor, who reigned about fifty years ago. Aya's job is to protect Oren even if it means her life, to prevent a ritual called The Awakening, from being performed by The Vainians, even if it means she has to kill Oren herself. Oren and Aya met Shinjo about four years ago and have been traveling together ever since, her estimated age is 24, though her birthday is unknown. Aya's divine healing has saved herself and her companions a number of times already, as have Oren's strange abilities and Shinjo’s companionship. She has a place in her heart for both Oren and Shinjo. Oren has become fairly caring toward Aya, only previously not obliging to because of his fate. Shinjo shows next to no emotional attachment to Aya, even when she reaches out to him.
Name: Oren
Age: 20
Height: 5'9"
Eye Color: Vibrant Green
Hair Color: Black
Hair Style: Straight and rather shaggy, some of it hanging in his eyes.
Weight & Build: 145 lbs - Average frame with a toned build.
Clothing: Long, white priest-style shirt with elongated sleeves and navy colored pants with a long, over-sized, dark red hooded cloak, similar to Aya's.
Personality: Protective and caring, yet detached.
Weapon(s): Small throwing blades and a lengthy dagger, concealed near his ankle.
Trait(s): Oren has strange abilities, most of which are unknown. He has the ability to use elemental magic and to heal others, though he is unable to explain how he is able to do so.
Disadvantage(s): Physically weak and has a lack of control over his abilities.
Summary: Oren is the reincarnation of the Demon God, Denethor. Though Oren is his reincarnation, Denethor's spirit sleeps within Oren, yet to be released. Kalinin Dumore in Hallow's Town adopted Oren at a very young age when a young woman, appearing to be a maid, gave the boy to Kalinin before she died. Denethor's spirit can be awakened in Oren by The Vainians performing a ritual on Oren, called The Awakening, atop the Altar of Faradin. Aya was hired to protect Oren, even at the cost of her own life, though Oren wishes no harm come to her. She has orders to kill him if it means preventing The Awakening from taking place. Oren can have the god's spirit exorcised out of him by a Saint, but it must take place on the same Altar, and there is a high chance that he will be killed in the act. Oren and Aya met Shinjo about four years ago and have been traveling together ever since. Oren is in love with Aya, and it has yet to be seen if she feels the same way. Oren gets incredibly jealous when other men are near Aya, even if it is Shinjo. He has said nothing to Aya about the way he feels because of the fate he must endure. Oren has almost a dark presence to him, his strange powers obviously emanating from the sleeping Denethor. Oren's fate is unknown.

So we're all in this tavern. The lights are dim, something like a club scenario, however it's adequate enough to make out anyone from the far side of the room. The actual bar is filled up, everyone there is talking about the day's happenings and what they plan to do tomorrow. The company is middle class, no one looking out of place.
However, the door opens and in walks a hooded figure. Slowly the shadow of a person moves towards the bar attracting no particular attention along the way. The person requests a seat in a low voice and a large worker obliges and moves out of the way. Apparently the figure is female, she brings back her hood slowly as her fiery red hair spills over her cloak.
She looks at you all sitting at the table and flicks a smile in your general direction. She turns toward her drink and continues downing it in regular intervals. You notice that she's carrying a small sheath on her belt, the pommel of the weapon is superbly crafted, a deep crimson just as entrancing as her hair.
She orders another drink and walks toward the table you all are sitting at.
"I noticed you're sword as I walked in.", she said whilst pointing to one of you all.
"Where did you get it?"
(I think it's kinda hard to point out specific people in an RP that is done at leisure, so if you all want me to fabricate the story so that it's specific to you all I can do so, but this is just a pilot RP for the moment so we'll see what happens.)
