I'd rather have it be explained as some type of weapon from an ancient culture that employs the use of complex magecraft to create new, tangible bullets and shoot them. And each clip instead of having ammunition has some sort of magical dust in it... or just raw mana? No idea.
Dark Helios History
History: After Akena killed Woguran, she when back to the order of the black lotus and began recreating their society of assassins. However after some time Kyro came back and challenged Akena to a dual for the right to rule their people. Akena remembered that Kyro had been pulling some strings and decided to fight him. If he lost he must serve her. The fight was seeming bad for Kyro so he used some kind of enchanted crystal. What it did and how he won was never told. Kyro just returned and Akena never did. Kyro gained control over their society and began forming them into a new culture. It was no longer about teaching people to be better it was about becoming stronger. You must challenge people and if you beat them you can ascend to the next level. You can only challenge the person in the position one higher than you, and you continue this. The leader is always the strongest. They are also called the Black Helios now. Kyro ruled uncontested for the longest time, he took over the entire underground and even concurred a city in his name. However one day he disappeared. After that they became very stuck to this religious idea that their is a shadow god that has chosen them. And they shall become immortal gods upon his return. Fast forward to present and they are still a powerful underground origination with most everyone fight to become stronger and climb the ranks, to leader.

Relatives:
Organizations\Affiliations: Black Helios
- Iris Valum (Mother)
- Digiro Rigidum (Father/Previous Leader)
Personality: Vengeful and Full of herself. She has torn through flesh and blood to get where she is now, and she knows it. Life to her is just a chess piece in her rise to power. Thousands could die and she wouldn't care as long as it was in her interest. She see's people as investments and doesn't have interest in anyone she doesn't think is worth her time. She doesn't try to hide the way she acts and in fact embraces it. She is every good at thinking ahead and also will change sides depending on what they offer and the risk.
Backstory:
For generation the Valum family served whoever the leader of The Order of The Black Lotus was. When Woguran killed Akena's family they urged her to become the new leader and forget about Woguran, but her rage was too great. While Akena still was the leader the Valum family lead the Order of the Black Lotus until Akena could kill Woguran. When Akena returned she was a hero and Valum gladly stepped aside to let her lead. When Akena was going to fight Kyro they urged her again not to. But Akena didn't listen. When Kyro beat her they didn't believe it, he had to have cheated! But Akena was gone, and she would never return. The Valum family wouldn't follow Kyro and was sent to poverty. They had relied on inheritance for their strength, not power. When their entire society became about beating others for power they were plunged to the bottom, generation after generation they very the peasants.
However that changed when Digiro, the leader of Helios, fell in love with Iris. He was very powerful but Iris was the last daughter of the Valum, meaning the name would die out. She married him anyway and they had Venge.
Venge was very weak and never enjoyed the art of the shadow. She wasn't stealthy, she couldn't control shadows or even use shadow blades, however Vena lived a happy life. She never believed in the Shadow god returning, but she respected other peoples beliefs. She enjoyed helping people and she always felt sad that her mother let their name get lost. To her parents though, Vange was a failure. Knowing that she would never become powerful enough to rule again Digiro infused the same crystal Kyro has used to beat Akena, it had been passed down for so long. He stabbed the crystal in her chest and it thrived and consumed her. Giving her powers with great abilities.
With this she rose through the chain of power, reaching all the way to her father. Finally challenging him, but he would not fight her. He felt as his daughter that he should hand it over to her. She however didn't agree, almost killing her father as he begged for life, she banished her parents out of the Dark Helios. She always hated both of them, especially her mother for denouncing the family name. From that point on she ruled stronger than anyone, Dark Helios was and is more power now than ever. With their underground influence stretching across the world. She will control everything.
Physical
Appearance:
Weapons & Armor:
Items & Personal Belongings:
- Shadow Queens Cloths - Her Cloths are a special type of armor. Made from the best shadow black smiths. Light weight and can stop and basic weapon. Swords, knifes, etc. Any powerful weapon and pierce it just fine.
Skills & Abilities:
- Hair Tie - It's cute, and holds her hair.
Spells and Magic
- Knowledge - She has access to a crazy amount of knowledge from her underground network.
- Dealing - She knows how to negotiate very well, and is a very powerful ally.
- Unknowing Lie - She can lie really well.
Weaknesses:
- Power Underwhelming - Vena's entire magic is based on energy. She has a maximum of 7000 energy. Every spell she casts uses that energy. If she has no energy she can't cast her spells. Notice: Her Energy is different from physical energy. She might be tired and have full energy, or vice versa.
- Eternal Life - This is a regeneration spell. Vena become unable to move and flouts in the air. The spell regenerates about 50 energy per second. About 2 minutes to full energy. But it requires 10 seconds to cast. If she is interrupted in anyway the spell is broken and completely undone and she loses all her energy that was gained.
- All Seeing Eye - This is her only other no energy requiring spell. It makes her see anything that is unnatural. For instance if there is a invisible person or a hallucination she can tell it's fake. However This ability halts her energy usage for 15 minutes. Meaning it's not a battle spell, but a negotiation spell. The spell can tell if someone is reacting differently to something, like if their bad at lying. It can also tell imperfections in form, if someone looks human but isn't really human.
- Creational Wisdom - This is her main ability and is what uses energy. She can create red energy and form it into different objects. The side of the object depends on the energy invested, as does the strength of the object. In other words she could create a sword for say 100 energy but it would be weak and not worth the energy as say a 1500 energy sword. Also it should be noted that the amount of energy invested translates to time in existence. Again the sword with 100 would not stay much more than 15ish mins. But the 1500 would stay a lot longer.
- Blink - She can Blink a short distance. No more that 6-7 feet. Cost 150 energy each
- Pulse - Self explanatory, sends a pulse of energy that knocks back everyone/thing around her. Can be used to pulse her forward. 200 Energy cost.
- Envy's Price - Costly ability with a 1000 investment and using it requires another 1000. Places down a spell on the ground that takes 15 seconds to form. The spell will stay as long as it's not found and destroyed, she cancels it, or after several days. At any point she can teleport back to that location by using 1000 energy. When she uses the spell it disappears and must be recast (Can't use Eternal Life for a bit after using this)
- Eternal Energy - When something dies, with soul energy, she can steal that soul energy for a certain amount of energy. Normal human about 750. Animals would be less and undead are even less. But as long as she's killing the energy is flowing.
- Jester's Revenge - This is her final ability, it doubles her max energy to 14000 and gives her insta full energy. It also reduces the energy cost for all spells by 50%. This is a last resort and although it doesn't physically hurt her it does turn her hair red. The spell can last as long as she want BUT halts all energy gain. She has to decast it to gain energy again. Upon decast her max energy goes to 0/0 for several days. After her max returns she has 0/7000 and must use Eternal life or Eternal energy to gain it back.
Over Willed - VERY overconfident, and believes the world was created for her.
Weak - Any very offensive abilities could destroy her defense, because of high energy cost, and kill her.
Starved - If she isn't killing and she has no way out, then she will always lose the endurance game. She is also not conservative and will likely use all her energy and be defenseless.
Lack of Friends - She only makes friends for the their usefulness she doesn't care about them. And because of that she would lose to anyone with loving friends and a strong will.

Male
Race:
Demigod
(He doesn't know who his godly parent is)
Class:
Jack of all trades
Because of Xavier's rather unique ability, it's hard to pinpoint his exact class as he can easily take the role of most combat classes. Making him a Jack of all trades.
Sexuality:
Heterosexual
High Concept:
A young demigod looking for answers while trying to not be taken advantage of because of his power.
Character Alignment:
Lawful Good
Relatives:
Mortal mother ~ Alive
Unknown godly father
Organizations\Affiliations:
Guild of Heroes
Personality:
Deadly yet kind. Granted currently he isn't that strong yet, but his potential is staggering. Give him about 20 years, and after countless fights he'll be extremely powerful... and that scares him. Before he was treated like a normal kid, and now he fears that if he becomes too strong then everyone will be afraid of him. Because of this Xavier tries his best to hide his godly ties from everyone else, and only use his ability when he absolutely needs to. Other than that Xavier is kind which is an attribute that he gets from his mother, he'll always be there to lend a hand. At times he can be serious in tense situations, it's surprising how much of a change his personality takes when faced with danger, but hey that's probably a given to everyone. At times he can even be cocky, and oddly enough he acts like this when he's near the breaking point.
Backstory:
W.I.P
Short version: Born in a small farming village, lived a seemingly normal life until a certain event (Which I'm still trying to think of) revealed that he was a Demigod, now Xavier sets out to discover the truth of himself.
Weapons & Armor:
- Sturdy clothing that is well adjusted for traveling
- A simple shortsword that is cheaply made
- A small spell book that contains basic spells
Items & Personal Belongings:
Seal of Membership ~ Found it lying in the dirt, thought it was cool so he picked it up
Skills & Abilities:
Fighting Intuition ~ Xavier has a natural fighting instinct that allows him to decipher and analyze his opponents movements to determine patterns or weaknesses.
Sturdy~ Xavier can both take a hit, and dish one out.
Fast Reflexes ~ Xavier has notably fast reflexes. It's easy to tell that its greater than an average human.
Spells & Magic:
Resilient body ~ For both physical and magical attacks, Xavier can take a beating before going down. Though it does nothing to numb the pain.
Technique copying ~ Xavier most unique and powerful ability. Something that he assumes was passed down by his father. And it is what makes him have so much potential. Xavier can copy other peoples attacks, though there are special requirements. First Xavier must be physically hit by the attack, he can't just watch someone do it and then replicate it. Secondly when first using a copied attack it will not be perfect, for example if he copied a fireball attack, then the fireball will be significantly smaller and will have less range. And thirdly Xavier cannot become better at these copied attacks through repetition, the only was to become better at them is to be hit again, and again, and again. Though he cannot become better at it than the original user. There are exceptions to this ability of course.
Goes in a order of 1-10 with 1 being just learned and 10 being as good as the original user.
Weaknesses:
Fear ~ Xavier fears his own power, even to the point to where he sees it as a curse. Meaning that he'll try his best to not use it.
Closed off ~ He has trouble expressing his own troubles or feeling, especially when it's about his godly heritage.
Inexperienced ~ Even though he's a natural fighter, Xavier still needs to learn through experience. This applies to the outside world as he's only lived in a small farming village.
Weak ~ Since Xavier has little to no copied attacks right now it's hard for him to do anything in battle. Making him rely on his defensive body which in turn means that he'll get hurt a lot.
slow learner ~ Despite being able to copy other peoples attacks when learning anything else Xavier is extremely slow. It takes him a long time to learn anything that doesn't involve stabbing someone.

BASIC INFORMATION
Name: Ingvarr Okeer
*Aliases: Ing, Var, Okeer, the rest are unsuitable for polite company.
Age: 36
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Class: Fighter
PERSONAL
*Sexuality: Heterosexual
*High Concept: A self-serving mercenary out to survive till the next payday.
Character Alignment: Neutral Evil
*Relatives: Rikasa Torvani [Bastard Daughter [4] || Alive]
*Organizations\Affiliations: Varies.
Personality: Selfish, cynical, survivalist, Ingvarr is a mercenary to his core. He cares only for himself and his own survival, of course, gold is always appreciated, but at the end of the day, he can't spend if he isn't breathing and if he is terrified of anything, it is death. This crippling fear makes him utterly ruthless when it comes to staying alive, he will betray or abandon his 'allies', switch sides, cheat, lie or more. This is not to say he does not accept death in his line of work, he does, but only a fool welcomes it. This desire to remain alive makes him incredibly cynical of others as he sure as shite wouldn't trust himself, no reason to trust others, and he delights in poking fun in the plans and flaws of others, but is not above doing the same to himself. While he is not an 'intelligent' man in the ways of the written word, Ingvarr is brutally cunning and manipulative as, well, it has helped him survive in the past as Ingvarr knows, better then anyone, that he is just a man. Not a hero. Not a wizard. Not a demigod. Just a man with a sword and his wits in a world of monsters.
*Backstory: Ingvarr's story is not truly worthy of being called such. He is the son of a farmer, joined the Imperial Army when he had the chance, eager for adventure and a life away from work.. well, and to earn enough coin to marry his sweetheart. But the army changed him. It wasn't a life of adventure, it was cold, harsh and grim work. He wasn't some noble hero, he was just a grunt, a foot soldier in an army of thousands, a nameless soldier who, if he was lucky, would have the honor of having his pockets rifled through after his body had the chance to grow cold, but none of it should have been so surprising. The tales of bards are just that, tales. They never talk about the smell, of how grown men and women shite themselves when a blade is thrust into their guts, the screams and moans of pain that fill the battlefield as, no, foes don't just die when you give them a right thrust... they tend to linger on, bleeding out as their intestines spill out. Despite his.. aversion to what he was, Ingvarr was damnable good at it. Not the stuff of commanders, but he was a great footslogger.
From there it is a simple and time-worn tale, the sweetheart he wanted to marry grew tired of waiting and found another man, he took up the vices of drink and dice, engaged in fights and illegal head hunting during skirmishes with the various beast as many a sorcerer will pay well for 'exotic' ingredients and following a particularly brutal goblin ambush, it was simple enough to fake his death and make his exit from the army, with his gear in toe as it would hardly be fitting to give it back. Little else in his life, he started selling his sword arm, if he was going to be a paid killer, then, unlike in the army, he was going to be a well paid killer... and that is it. Truly. He has some incredible and often amusing stories of various contracts he has taken, but there is no real deep, dark, secret behind the man. Nothing special that separates him from the legion of other vagabonds.
PHYSICAL
Weapons & Armor:
Items & Personal Belongings:
- Kriegsmesser - Battered steel messer of surprising quality. No magical properties whatsoever.
- Flanged Mace - Powerful, heavy one-handed flanged mace, one of the flanges have snapped off. No magical properties whatsoever.
- Dagger - A long dagger with numerous scratches and mares running along its surface, has a worn leather handle. No magical properties whatsoever.
- Three Throwing Knives - Slightly off-balance, cheaply forged knives. One inside the sleeve of his left wrist, one in either boot. No magical properties whatsoever.
- Mail Armor - Worn, battered 1-in-8 chain mail, along with the full suit of chain mail, he has steel gauntlets and greaves. Underneath the chain, he has a nice gambeson. Wears a great helm. No magical properties whatsoever.
Skills & Abilities:
- Woefully Lacking Coin Pouch - Almost enough to make him weep.
- Smaller Coin Pouch - A second, smaller coin pouch, hidden in his left boot.
- Roll of parchment, inkwell, two quills - For writing up contracts.
- Two pairs of leather boots - ... For walking. And that is just what he shall do.
- Four changes of clothes - Hard to carry more.
- Two pieces of flint - For.. fire.. making.
- Water and Wine Skin - Has both, often 'forgets' which is which.
- Small satchel full of dried meats and hardtack - For.. eating.
- Small steel locket - For reasons that are his own.
Spells & Magic: N/A
- Survivalist - Ingvarr is quite used to surviving on his own. He knows how to mend his clothes, care for his armor, scavenge the wilds for food and herbs, including the creation of traps, as well as bandage and care for most wounds.. to varying results. Along with this comes the almost incredible strength of will Ingvarr has that fuels him, allows him to crawl and drag his beaten, broken body until he can find refuge. He is quite proud of his ability to survive on his own like this and, second only to his career sword arm, is his most prized skill.
- Slippery Mind - A naturally cunning and deceiving man, Ingvarr's mind is.. slippery. It is very difficult to read his mind or gain anything other then shallow surface thoughts he creates, on instinct, to throw off such invasions. This same natural ability also makes his mind incredibly difficult to control.
- Veteran Sellsword - A veteran of numerous battles, skirmishes and duels, Ingvarr is a veteran warrior. While he does not have the sheer formal training of knights and other such dedicated professionals, Ingvarr is incredibly deadly with a blade and what he lacks in training he makes up with in experience and an efficent, brutal fighting style.
- Iron-Stomach - Having eaten many.. dubious things in his life as well as being nearly poisoned by various employers or 'comrades', Ingvarr has an 'iron-stomach', he is highly resistant to most poisons, including bad cooking.
- Negotiator - As a Sellsword, he lives by, well, selling his sword. He knows his value, and often lack there of, and considers himself a rather solid negotiator, able to work out most deals to his favor even if the situation, itself, is far against him. It should go without saying, but, Ingvarr never pays full price for anything. Ever.
- Brutally Cunning - While lacking a formal education, having taught himself how to read and not particularly well at that, Ingvarr makes up for it with a brutal, almost base, cunning. His mind is incredibly sharp and constantly looks for ways to get him out of sticky situation, keeps a unending vigil on the people and surroundings and is adept at looking at every angle of a situation. This, above all, is what has kept him alive in his line of work for so long.
Weaknesses:
- Coward - While Ingvarr will face down foes with his sword, fight and kill when paid.. but when push comes to shove, Ingvarr will leg it rather then die. He has no desire to die, to end up as a corpse feeding the carrion birds, and he has little shame in that, on that note, he will also go out of his way to avoid fighting beings he has no chance against and is not above throwing down his sword and surrendering if he thinks the enemy is gullible enough to accept it.
- Loner - As a mercenary, and someone who will readily betray his comrades or employer if needed, Ingvarr has no friends or true 'comrades'. He claims he prefers it, but when push comes to shove, and all the cards are down, no one would stick their neck out for him or weep at his passing, and this is an aspect of himself that is unlikely to ever change.
- Alcoholic - Almost a par for the course, Ingvarr has a heavy dependence upon spirits and will spend the vast majority of his income on indulging his need to the point he will let his gear fall to pieces, be woefully under supplied or even cloud his judgement during times when he needs it the most in order to fuel his crutch.
- Criminal - He has participated in more underhanded activites then he would ever admit, has worked for numerous gangs, criminal lords and aspiring world conquerers... He is a wanted man and while he is not famous enough to truly garner a lot of attention or 'unique' looking enough to be easily recongized, he must take care where he goes and what he says as living out the rest of his days in a jail cell until they can bugger a headsmen is not his ideal way to go.
- Just A Man - Ingvarr is just a man. He is not some holy knight clad in mastercrafted armor. He is not some young boy touched by destiny. Not a powerful sorcerer. Just a mercenary with no land and little coin to his name.

Backstory:
Nineteen years ago a God fell in love with a mortal Woman. This God was known for being cruel and bloodthirsty those who worshiped him feared of his wrath. The god forced himself upon the Woman and several months later the Woman gave birth to his son, and the child was named Xavier. At first the Woman was sceptical about raising the child, but she vowed to never let him be like his father. A young Xavier had an average life in the small farming village. Working in the field with his step-father, Xavier had a peaceful life, something that he wishes to go back to. Several years passed and a traveling magician visited the small village, looking for a way to make some money from the ignorant villagers. The Magician put on a show for them, taunting the villagers, saying that nobody could match his magic. Even though Xavier had never used magic he volunteered. The two readied themselves, and having the advantage the Magician used a simple shock spell, nothing too dangerous. Instinctively Xavier copied the spell in a weaker form and the crowd went wild. The Magician claimed that Xavier was gifted and proceeded to test out his gift. After that Xavier's mother told him about his true father, and now Xavier is traveling around the continent to search for answers.

Xavier can copy other peoples attacks, though there are special requirements. First Xavier must be physically hit by the attack, he can't just watch someone do it and then replicate it. Secondly when first using a copied attack it will not be perfect, for example if he copied a fireball attack, then the fireball will be significantly smaller and will have less range. And thirdly Xavier cannot become better at these copied attacks through repetition, the only was to become better at them is to be hit again, and again, and again. Though he cannot become better at it than the original user. There are exceptions to this ability of course.
Goes in a order of 1-10 with 1 being just learned and 10 being as good as the original user. And after one hour the copied ability goes down by one.
Weaknesses:
Fear ~ Xavier fears his own power, even to the point to where he sees it as a curse. Meaning that he'll try his best to not use it.
Closed off ~ He has trouble expressing his own troubles or feeling, especially when it's about his godly heritage.
Inexperienced ~ Even though he's a natural fighter, Xavier still needs to learn through experience. This applies to the outside world as he's only lived in a small farming village.
Weak ~ Since Xavier has little to no copied attacks right now it's hard for him to do anything in battle. Making him rely on his defensive body which in turn means that he'll get hurt a lot.
slow learner ~ Despite being able to copy other peoples attacks when learning anything else Xavier is extremely slow. It takes him a long time to learn anything that doesn't involve stabbing someone.

None, she's all solo.
Personality:
What can be said about Az? Other then the fact she has no qualifying good traits whatsoever. Azalea is a selfish, impulsive girl, who does what she wants when she wants, even when she cares for people, she'll never say it, and even deny it with another excuse, she's cocky and sarcastic, she isn't afraid to speak her mind, even to enemies. Azalea is quick to anger, she doesn't get upset, she gets even, when she loses someone, or something she cares about, she spirals out of control. She's pessimistic most the time, and if she doesn't agree with a plan, she'll go her own way. Azalea has no remorse for the hundreds of people she's killed over the years, and hasn't changed for years, she's manipulative, and a good liar, and she's do whatever it takes to get revenge, or get someone she cares for back, no matter how many bodies she leaves.
Backstory:
Azalea was born into one of the most noble families in Bowerstone, they practically had a manor, they were filthy rich, the family attended parties and balls hosted by other families, Azalea was tight knit with her siblings, and her mother. Her mother was a healer, kind and caring, she looked after most the children. Her father was always busy, and distant for as long as Azalea could remember, for some reason, his occupation was kept secret, but he was firm and formal, and made sure they followed all the rules, but Gunmar loved Miranda dearly.
When Azalea was fifteen, she had all sorts of noble men vying for her affections, but she was not of age in Gunmars words, and was not allowed to have any conversations with any men. Things went from bad to worse, Azalea suddenly became trapped indoors, as if she was some prized possession, she was the beautiful one, Gunmar had already arranged her marriage, and he didn't want Azalea's mouth or her actions scaring them away. Tensions became high as Gunmar demanded more from the noble houses. Miranda did not approve, but she mysteriously took ill around that time, some days she was well enough to roam the gardens and play with the siblings, other days, she couldn't even get out of bed.
One winter night, after giving birth to Kale, she'd died instantly after giving birth. Gunmar was heartbroken, he left the next day, packed to leave for months, leaving the children to take care of themselves. He didn't even attend her funeral. Gunmar was gone for good it seemed. Azalea was miserable, Wren took care of them best as he could, but she couldn't take the boring life of dresses and tea. She wanted thrill. She sought answers in town, she began to sneak out at nights. Watching a commoners life, unknowingly, Wren followed, but he went somewhere else every night. A year passed before one night, in a tavern Wren approached Azalea, dressed in shadowy armor. He told her a story she'd been unaware of.
Two years before, when their mother had still lived. Wren fell in love with a girl named Lily, but she was a thief, which made Wren fall for her harder. They kept the relationship a secret, because Clover had such a big mouth, she'd rat to Gunmar in a heartbeat. When Miranda took ill, Wren snuck out to see her more. One night, when they were departing, a group of guards surrounded Lily, the knocked out a helpless and useless Wren as they dragged her away. The men weren't guards at all, they worked for some man, a man Lily stole from. Wren looked for months, he trained himself to fight, just like she did, but he became more then a thief, but an assasin he not all resented law enforcement, but crime itself, her occupation made her get taken, Wren became an enemy of both, but he could never get a lead on finding Lily. No matter how good of an assasin he was, he couldn't come close. He needed help.
Azalea obliged. Wanting nothing more then to help Wren get the love of his life back. Through Wren, she met his best friend, Ahren. As two years passed, she became a master assasin, surpassing even Wren. But that wasn't all, she and Ahren had fallen in love. Together, the three worked to fine Lily, Azalea caught a lead, and things were finally looking up. They were living to different lives, one between a life of riches and wealth, and murder and crime. Following a lead, they went all the way to Fairfax for a couple months, where they found Lily, as a slave. They grabbed her after a carefully devised plan, and barely escaped with their lives.
When they returned home, they found an angry Gunmar had awaited them. Wren, Azalea and the rest of the siblings resented him. Gunmar told none where he went, but he was not mentally stable it seemed. When Azalea was nineteen, and things had somewhat calmed down, Ahren went missing. She searched everywhere, for an entire year, looking restlessly, but she'd given up after a full year, and presumed him dead.
When she was twenty one, and she'd just finished a big contract, and brought home lots of gold, Gunmar served his children glasses of wine as a "celebration", though he didn't know Azalea's occupation, he didn't care, they had a feast and served the wine, spiked with strange blood. Then he killed them all, slaughtering them with a sword, and he wasn't gentle about it either. When they awoke, he claimed that now, they could live forever, and he'd never have to lose anybody again. Inir was mad with bloodlust, being only seventeen, he attacked Gunmar, there was blood, Inir couldn't control himself, he killed Gunmar. It was later found out Ahren had been murdered by Gunmar. Some things never changed. Peter refused to feed off humans, he drank off animals, he hated what they were, now he just broods in his own misery. Wren and Lily were finally together, he turned her into a vampire as well. The siblings became estranged, and angry with each other, but they still loved each other, enough to live in the same house. But Azalea did change as well. Years passed, a hundred and more, but Azalea and Wren became full fledged assasins, Azalea was better, and nobody knew her true name except her family, she became famous and was a person to be feared amoung the streets, the family did not move from their home, but the Peterova family was well known, and feared. Azalea takes contracts, even the most dangerous, Wren is more of a thief, stealing valuable items for people, she refuses to ever love again, and has made it so she doesn't care.

High Concept: A monster with a dark past and a heart of gold.
Character Alignment: Chaotic Good
Relatives:
Alessa Telena - Mother(Unknown)
Markuth Telena - Father(Deceased)
Organizations\Affiliations: None
Personality: Nymkos is usually distant from people, mostly because of the prejudice he sufferent when he found himself on this condition. When the outer shell is cracked, though, Nymkos is really friendly and loyal. He's silent and light on his feet, making sure he draws as little attention as possible, and in combat, he likes to take distance from the foe, setting up snare traps to incapacicate and hinder, while he goes for the kill. When he's Hungry, his lower half makes him stalk and kill his enemies up close and envelop his "prey" in white silk.
Backstory: Nymkos is, or was, one of the Drow. Drows are an underground race, usually with blue skin and pointed ears. They're extremely wary of outsiders, especially humans, mostly because of prejudice. Nymkos was a simple hunter, bringing meat and other goods back to sell, along with his father, and his mother usually took care of the house. Life was simple, but not without his fair share of dangers. One day, as he went about his business with his father, they encountered a group of bandits, who took the father and son back to his hideout, planning to sell them as slaves. Although clever, his father wasn't strong, and when he tried to flee with his son, fighting the bandits from his horrible fate, he was promptly killed in front of Nymkos, who managed to escape. Returning home, he grieved and cried for many days, usually getting help from the other villagers.
His mother, in despair and grievance, entered a cult, seeking help. Nymkos didn't like it, but as the days went by, his mother grew more and more devoted, coercing him into joining as well. Without seeing a choice, he went with his mother. The cult praised the ancient goddess Lolth, also called the "Queen of Spiders" by its followers. The cult praised Lolth as the patronus of the drow, and her ways were of absolute dominance and aggression. Nymkos was concerned about her mother's safety, but when he tried to talk to her, she saw his own son as a heretic, and turned him in to the cult's elders.
He was chained in the inner parts of the temple, with little food and water, a tactic to break the will of the poor drow. However, Nymkos will was stronger than the elders have imagined it, and finally, they took him to become a sacrifice to their profane goddess. Chained to a stone table, the elders chanted and cast their profane magic unto him, and if not of Nymkos' memories of his family, including his father, who sacrificed himself to save him, he would dscend into utter madness. When the ritual ended, he woke up yet again on the inner temple, but something was strange. As he became aware of himself, he noticed the horrendous form that was forced on him: Half drow, half spider. In fury, he managed to escape the temple, killing everyone in his wake, and fleeing into the forest, where he would live for a few months. For survival, he would hunt, and slow but surely, he made his way back int ocivilization. Most people still treat him with caution, but he now lives a more normal life. In his travels, searching the cure for his condition, he stumbled upon a curious crest, which he pocketed it without thinking too much. Until it spoke.
Hobbies: walking in the woods, listening to bards's stories
Quote\s: "Look beyond the chitin, my friend. This body is only temporary."
The merciless HuntThe 13th legion, also oftenly reffered to as "The merciless Hunt" or just "The Hunt" is a corp of knights that stand under direct order of the emperor. Their task is to purify the land of any criminals, villians and other evil-doers that are to be found.
The Hunt oftenly is reffered to as a bunch of cruel barbarians, criminals themselves under the kings protection murdering. They are feared and looked down onto oftenly by those who never met them in friendly circumstances. Those who met them under unfriendly circumstances mostly don´t look anywhere anymore. The legion if often also reffered to as murderers and bringers of destruction, they are commonly just not seen very nicely. While it is true, that their tasks are dirty, their missions usually leave only burning ruines and corpses of what they attacked, it is wrong what is said about the knights of the 13th. Each and every of the men is a disciplined and honorable warrior and they follow all laws and rules. They are very loyal to their emperor.
Commander of the 13th Legion
"Once the 13th has a target, there is only one motto. No superstes."
Full Name: Johanna von Flammenfels
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Race: Human
Class: Knight
Johanna
Art
Sweets of any kind
Dancing
Fighting
Dislikes:
Laziness
Bitter food
Betrayal
Dishonesty
Fears:
Height
Spiders
Personality:
Johanna is very duty oriented. She is mostly serious and can be quite harsh oftenly. Despite her rank, she does not see herself as something better than others. She still demands the respect she deserves from soldiers below her in rank, but she does not go around and brag with her rank. She does not really get much glory and fame for what she does anyways. Johanna is very blunt and rather tells truth than to make it look better through lies. She is often coming off rude, but that is not true, Johanna knows very well how to be polite around those that deserve it or demand it through their rank or position.
However sometimes, her lively and happy personality comes through with a joke or something similar. She hides a lot of herself most of the time.
After seeing too much blood, Johanna will fall into a blood rush. Once it activates, she thirsts for battle. She can still make out her team mates, but what she can't make out is, when it's too much. Too much here meaning both, a won battle and further killing thus only being a blood bath, or too much meaning that she can't take on such enemies without getting into a bad spot. Once in the blood rush, each kill will strengthen Johanna physically and refresh her from exhaustment and minor injuries.
As active ability, Johanna has the fire of hatred and war. Johanna can induce herself with that fire, or her weapon. This fire does not have the properties of usual fire, however. It makes unstoppable. That means, no physical or magical force can intercept Johanna's current movement, when burning like that, the only thing that can stop her is herself. It always just stays for a few seconds, but if used right, is a fight winning ability.
Another active ability is the "glorious revenge". Once taking severe, but non-lethal damage, Johanna can activate this ability to make all injuries disappear temporarily, immediately get into her blood rush and further enhance her physical strength even more. She can remain in that mode for about 10 minutes, until she goes back to normal. All injuries taken during the "glorious revenge" disappear, but the ones she had before activation of said ability reappear.
Height: 5,6 feet / 1,69 meters
Weight: 110 lbs / 50 kg
Hair Color: Blonde
Eye Color: Brown
Outfit:
She can usually be found wearing her armor, the ceremonical armor, casual clothes, however her casual clothes still look like a basic leather armor.
Equipment:
Johanna uses a morning star as weapon. Further, she has a strong iron shield, that most others would most likely not even be able to lift using both hands. Further, she wears heavy armor, shown on the picture. Due to her strength, she can carry it without it limiting her too much, but she still isn´t the fastest runner there is when wearing it, obviously.
Items:
Besides an armor simply for looks, that she wears when around the royal castle or on official events, Johanna owns, besides money of course, she owns a golden feather. It´s one to write with. This feather is nothing special, but it belonged to her father and she keeps it in memory of him. Further, she has an amulett, that her father gave her and said, no injust being could kill her while she has it. If that´s true has yet to be found out, Johanna herself doesn´t believe it though.
There is not much to be said about Maria´s past. She was the child a knight who served in the 13th and naturally learned discipline and loyalty. She, once in the age, applied for the army and rose in ranks quickly, through natural talent and hard work in combination. When she was high enough to choose her path, she immdiatly applied for the 13th, as she understood that their task was essential for the peace of the country. She never did her work for fame and was dedicated to give it all she had, which led her to rise to the commander of The Hunt despite her young age. She is not doubted by her men at all, as she proved herself multiple times already and is a sympathetic leader.
