Sign Up Elemental Spheres - Completely Redone [PG-VL]

[Sakura]

[COLOR=Navy]There are two major elements in the universe, they are as conflicting as Black and White, but they are always together in a harmonious state, these elements are, of course; Light and Dark. Light rules over the day with its celestial body, the golden Sun proudly shedding light and warmth to all living things; and Darkness rules the night with the silver Moon gleaming, casting a silver glow to allow rest for the living things after a long day. But what if this harmony was disrupted and both of these enormous powers were suddenly placed into the hands of two chosen teenagers? And what if it was up to the teenagers to decide what the fate of the Earth would be?

But along with those two teenagers that are destined to receive the powers of Light and Dark, there were eight others chosen, half of them were destined to be on the side of good, with the holder of Light, and the others had the same powers, only they were on the side of evil, accomplices to the holder of Darkness. The powers that were chosen for them were the other four major elements affecting the planet, the power of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water. These eight teenagers were sent as helpers, to aid the keepers of Light and Darkness in their quest, but before any of them can start their quest, they must find the spheres that contain their powers, the chosen 10 are spread around the world, some together, some apart, in each of their cities are the spheres they need to find, but finding them won?t be easy in the large places they live in. Searching out the spheres is their first task, and when completed it, only then will the quest begin.

[B]~*~[/B]

Two teenagers strolled along the bustling streets of Tokyo calmly, they were a cute couple, the boy was a head taller than his female companion. The girl smiled at him cutely as their fingers intertwined, their palms resting against each other. They were headed to their favourite park; it was the place that JJ had asked Sakura to go out with him.

They turned a corner and saw many people in the park, most of the grass was covered in a carpet of pink cherry blossoms, since yesterday had been the day of blooming. They chatted happily as they walked around families and other couples. Suddenly they froze; their eyes didn?t focus on anything as they received a vision of some kind. All Sakura could see was a white orb surrounded by black, suddenly the symbol of the sun glowed on the surface, before disappearing again. She blinked, seeing the park again. JJ was seeing the opposite, it was a black orb surrounded by white, and a silver crescent moon glowed in the centre, before fading away.

The two looked at each other and smiled, acting like nothing had happened as they continued onwards.

[B]~*~[/B]

Alright, this the brand new [B]Elemental Spheres[/B]. There are two predecessors to this RP, and they never got completed so I decided to go for a new angle. I?ve been meaning to remake it for the looooongest time, but JJ finally got me to do it, and he helped me out for ideas.

So, there are 10 spots available;

[CENTER][B]Name:[/B][color=#333333] Stephen T. Firma[/COLOR]

[B]Gender:[/B] [color=#333333]Male[/COLOR]

[B]Age:[/B] [color=#333333]15[/COLOR]

[B]Appearance:[/B] [url=http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/2131/yondaime5ft.jpg][color=#333333]Head Shot[/color][/url], [url=http://img92.imageshack.us/img92/2306/yondaime20vq.jpg][color=#333333]Full Body[/color][/url]

[B]Country:[/B] [color=#333333]Canada[/COLOR]

[B]Personality:[/B] [color=#333333]Stephen is a gentle young boy who is always there to help. Often enough, his friends will come to him for advice (when he isn't going to them that is). He rarely has problems in life but when he does, they are big. He's also a slight clutz.

Once upon a time, Stephen was the laughing stock of his clique because of his height. This didn't permanently scar him or anything, but he has never forgiven his friends for it. He is now 5 foot 7 inches, the second tallest amongst his group of pals.

When it comes to girls, he's very persuasive, romantic and loyal. Some girls say that he isn't being himself and refuse to date him, others say it's "uber cute" and would go out with him in a flash.[/CENTER][/COLOR]

---

[B]Sphere:[/B] [color=#333333]Earth Sphere[/COLOR]

[B]Powers:[/B] [color=#333333]Stephen has the power to control the earth around him. He can use his powers to lift large segments of rock from the ground and manipulate them at will. For now, he can only lift objects that he would be able to lift without magic.

Along side rock manipulation, if Stephen is going into battle, he will sprout boulders all around his body. They usually cover all of his right arm, his torso, his left leg and half of his right leg. Eventually he'll be able to cover his whole body.

In addition to all of this, Stephen has good control over plants and the like. So far, he has learned to cope with animals and is able to enter their minds (not talk, mind you) and calm them down so he can go near them. He also exceeds in healing others wounds such as small cuts and bruises, but nothing drastic.

Later on, Stephen will face the decision of expanding his skills in the more Nature side of Earth (haulting his powers with rocks and the like) or proceeding in more earthern powers like rocks (stopping his expansion of nature skills).[/COLOR]

[B]Weapon:[/B] [url=http://www.saxonsquire.com/Irish_Festival_04_001.jpg][color=#333333][u]War Hammer[/u][/color][/url]

[B]Snippet:[/B] [color=#333333]Born in a small town in Ontario, Canada, Stephen is a summer-loving Canadian. He was once a very quiet and shy boy, afraid to express feelings to anyone. But when he moved two hours away from his hometown 7 years ago and met what would be his 3 new best friends, he became very open and eventually a real flirt.

Stephen's brother recently moved away to Australia to go to Teacher's College. This left him alone with his parents (not a bad thing) and his cat. For three years, Stephen was going out with a girl named Kayli, just one month ago Kayli dumped Stephen for his best friend.

After a 30 days worth of moping and depression, Stephen finally decided it was time to get over his loss and he packed his things and went on a road trip with his friend David (15 years of age) and his cousin Gary (21 years of age). It wasn't long before the trio found themselves in Montreal and stopped at a hotel for the night. It was early that morning when it happened. The instant Stephen slipped out of the room and into the empty park at 9:00am...

[Blayze]

[center][size=1][b]Name: [/b]Phil Boothman [Blayze]

[b]Gender: [/b]Male

[b]Age: [/b]16

[b]Appearance: [/b][url="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b16/Blayze54/nanami-02.jpg"][click][/url]

Phil has a very lean build, but he is fairly strong physically. He works out, so his body is well-toned, and he generally wears (instead of what is in the picture) a pair of faded blue jeans and a white shirt, with a white t-shirt underneath.

[b]Country: [/b]United Kingdom


[b]Personality: [/b]Phil is usually pretty easy-going, enjoying nothing more than spending time with his friends, having fun, making jokes, and generally having a good time. He is well-liked by his group of friends, and he has great respect and love for them in return. While hardly ever being the centre of attention in his group, Phil always likes to add his opinion, as he listens to other people's.

However, there is a dark side to Phil. When he gets angry or frustrated, he become violent and aggressive, often breaking things in a rage. He has even gone so far as to hit people he has known and loved all his life. He has been seeing a therapist about this problem, and so far has had no luck with it.

[b]Sphere: [/b]Magma Sphere

[b]Powers: [/b]Phil can, at the moment, create limited amounts of flame, which he can store in his body and release it at will. He can manipulate it to a certain extent, but has not mastered this skill. He can also absorb flames that he is hit with, using them to raise his strength, before releasing the flame back at his enemy.

His other ability is to release a small amount of this flame from his skin, and essentially cover his body in flame. But doing this takes a lot out of Phil, so he usually just sticks to engulfing his hands or an arm at the most in flame.

[b]Weapon: [/b]Phil wields a flaming sword with great skill. Normally, the weapon looks like this [[url="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b16/Blayze54/g2_0262b.jpg"]click[/url]], but when he wants to, Phil can engulf this in flame. It has its own source of fire, so Phil does not have to use his own energy to wreathe it in flame.

[b]Bio/Snippet: [/b]Born to a normal, upper-middle class family in London, Phil had a pretty normal childhood. He was happy, played with his friends, and was loved by his parents and his older brother.

But, when he was twelve years old, he came home from school to find his home had been broken into. Flames licked from the smashed windows, the door was smashed in, and almost everything in the house was destroyed. Then he walked into the living room, and saw his parents and his older brother laid out on the floor, white outlines around them.

The police never did find out who killed them, but it affected Phil in a deep psychological way. He was taken in by his best friend's family, and they treated him as one of their own.

But he was never the same again. Not even after he found a small red sphere in his friend's back garden...

[SIZE=1][B]Name:[/B] Ryan Moreno

[B]Gender:[/B] male

[B]Age: [/B] 15

[B]Country: [/B] United States

[B]Appearance: [URL=http://www.mevielyn.com/pictures/glassshard_squall.jpg]Here[/URL] [/B]


[B]Sphere: [/B] Wind Sphere

[B]Powers:[/B] Ryan can use the strong wind around him to levitate. This takes a lot of concentration and can only stay in the air for a small period at a time. He can also use the wind to increase his speed. Not agility, but able to run faster in a long distance.

[B]Personality: [/B]
Very cool and collective. He is not a person to go from a nice guy to a raging monster. When there are boundaries, he isn't one to break them. A quiet and peaceful guy, yet a man that will fight back when needed. At school, he is very popular because of his natural ability to play the games of sports.

He is easy to befriend to, yet even his closest friends have never broken the shell of the athlete wonder. He seems as if he doesn't trust you, like he's standing next to a dangerous killer. As if he's hiding a dear secret and he doesn't want to mention a peep about it. His best friend, Scotty though see Ryan different then others. He knows Ryan is great guy and that's the way he is. Most of his time is spent trying to get Ryan to go to parties or hook up with popular chicks. If their will ever be a person to finally break him, it would be him.


[B]Character snippet:[/B]
The quarterback scanned the field, looking for an opening in the defense. His eyes met the all-quick Zach, passing his defender and heading towards the goaline. He pumped-fake to the right and sent a rocket to his receiver. Zach reached his hands at the approaching ball when it was taken away. Ryan Moreno tuck the ball into his chest as he just intercepted again. The other team crowded him as someone grabbed his flag from his belt. Zach and the quarterback, Cody shook their heads in disbelief.

[B] "How did you do that, Moreno?" [/B] asked Scotty as Ryan flipped the ball to their quarterback. Their team had one more chance to win and this was the time to do it.

[B]"I just knew he was going to throw it to Zach."[/B] He answered back as their team switched to offense.

[B]"Come on. I saw you on the other side of the field and when I blinked, you had the ball in your hands." [/B] Ryan grinned as he got ready for the quarterback to hike the ball. He roared the command as the Ryan and the rets of the receivers jumped off the line. Of course, the whole team was on him as he tried to out run them. A faint siren went off as that was the signal for the game to be over after that play.

Ryan acted quicky, spinning away from his defenders and heading for the goaline. His quarterback saw him instantly as he pulled back and let it go. The ball sailed right into Ryan's hands as he jogged past the goaline for a touchdown. They were undefeated with a record of 14-0, beating anyone that challenged them. The losing team couldn't believe, not the team, but Moreno. He had stopped them in their tracks, showing up out of nowhere. The winning team cheered as they began to walk off the field.

[B] "You going to the party?"[/B] asked Scotty, the two friends walking off with each other.

[B] "Nah, I got stuff to do." [/B]

[B]"It's a Friday! There will be hot babes, you know?!"[/B]

[B] "Sorry, but like I said, I have stuff to do."[/B] He walked away, leaving his best friend walking by himself. To Scotty, Ryan was a mystery. A guy that hid himself from others, yet was popular to everyone that has heard of his amazing athletic abilities. He didn't seem the shy type, so what was it? [/SIZE]

[Ayokano]

[b]Name: [/b] Austin Bennett

[b]Gender: [/b] Male

[b]Age: [/b] 15

[b]Appearance: [/b] [url=http://ayokano.250free.com/jeid.jpg]Here[/url]- He wears a pair of dark blue jeans and worn out, black leather boots. Austin also always wears a pair of black, leather gloves, and carries a black bookbag with his needed necessities.

[b]Sphere:[/b] Gaia Sphere

[b]Powers: [/b] Austin can control the ground around him, and he can make it crush, crumble, and quake. Though, this power only covers a small area as of now, and tends to wear out his body.

His sphere also gives him strength that is beyond his years, and he uses his weapon with it. But this also wears out his body, and can only be used for a short time in, or out if needed, battle.

[b]Country: [/b] United States

[b]Personality: [/b] Austin is known for his slacker attitude, in which he never strives for anything. Even though, he usually is cool and calm, never raising his voice or getting frustrated. His easy going attitude is what also makes people tend to like him.

Austin?s out look on the world tends to be on the opposite sides of others. He also tends to get in trouble, but usually talks his way out of it. Usually taking the opposite path then the ones he is with, Austin is hard to understand at first. Closed to others, he usually doesn?t speak to those he doesn?t know. Austin is known to open to others though.

[b]Weapon: [/b] Mjolnir- A large sledgehammer made of grey rock; it is larger than a normal sledgehammer, with a wider and longer handle and larger head. It is also engraved with almost Celtic like ruins, much like the infamous hammer of the same name.

[b]Bio/Snippet: [/b] Austin grew up with in a rich family in Georgia, the oldest of several sons and daughters. He was in a consent struggle with his parents, who wanted him to be the best. Austin had to strive in academics and athletics to make a good name for the family, and to be a role model to his siblings. But he was sick of it, sick of being just an object. So he soon regressed. He stopped getting perfect scores on test, and stop scoring goals in soccer.

His parents soon confronted him, and kicked him out of the house. They said they?ll fund him for his own place, and anything he needs. But he didn?t want any of it. Austin wanted to be independent, and soon started to hang with people that Freight hopped, and he soon joined in. It just started as going to other counties, but Austin soon started to go to whole other states. He became in love with the lifestyle, and started to travel the country.

Austin now is widely know in the area, and traveled alone unless he brought first-timers along. But, one wouldn?t say he travels alone truly, because he has his cat Clo with him. Now, he is trying to make it across to the west. Austin wants to meet more people, and try to leave Georgia for good. Now it?s just a boy, and his cat.

[B]Name: [/B] Casey Hengstebeck

[B]Gender: [/B] Male

[B]Age:[/B] 17

[B]Appearance:[/B]
[IMG]http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/GeneOutlaw/0930_scryed.jpg[/IMG]

[B]Sphere:[/B] Tundra Sphere

[B]Power:[/B] He has the power to manipulate water, even able to freeze it over. This allows him to forge himself weapons on the fly, should he need them. His power is far from infinite and he is easily exhausted, he usually just uses it to build up his weapon of choice, or for a quick sneak attack. Maintainence is fairly easy, it's manipulation that throws him off.

As a bonus, he is also able to walk across water, and travel through water with speed far beyond what his body could do alone.

[B]Country:[/B] Germany

[B]Personality:[/B] Reclusive by nature and a general outcast. He cares nothing for others and lives by the "Look out for number one" mantality. He is veiwed as harsh and violent, and has even been accused of murder, though there is no evidence; just a stupid rumor.

Truth of the matter is that he is rarely violent against others and has never actually killed a person before. He doesn't run with a gang, nor has he ever tried to form or fit in to one. His harsh rep comes from the fact that he's a street urchin. Also, he has been known to participate in street fights when he's in need of money. His morals won't allow him to steal, but knocking the crap out of guy for money works just fine.

[B]Weapon:[/B] [URL=http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/GeneOutlaw/Trident.png]Trident[/URL]. A weapon in the image of the gods.

[B]Bio/Snippet:[/B] Casey was a born street urchin. Oh sure, he had parents, but they were to worried about staying alive to raise him. Don't worry, the street did for him what his parents never could. He ate from trash cans, and "relieved himself" on the sides of buildings. Yep, he was the king of his domain.

The local busy bodies came to hate and fear him simply because he didn't seem to care. He was grimy, dirty, rude and anit-social; but other then that he was a nice guy. He always minded his own business and never beat up somebody who didn't have it coming; or who didn't volunteer for one.

After three years of fighting and saving he finally got himself a place to live. A studio apartment. Sure it stunk and was in one of the worst neighborhoods in Berlin, but the only reason it was one of the worst was cause he lived in it anyway. Street fighting became less of a career and more of a hobby, he found after awhile that he could relive some undue stress by beating some poor sap senseless. Normally he wasn't particularly violent, he just liked a good throw down. Does this make him a bad person? I think not.

Casey knows that in this world, you just gotta look out for yourself. As long as you only watch your own back, you'll never be blind sided. The only semi-friends he has are his "agents", the guys who set up fights for him. He only ever talks to them when he needs a job, and when he suppose to get paid. Other then that, he sticks to himself, and he likes it that way. What does he need friends weighting him down for?

[Ikillion]

[COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS]EDIT: There done, sorry about if the bio seems kinda of repeative and slurred together, I think I ran out of the creative juices and its late for me making it all run down together, Contact me if anything needs changing

EDIT 2: I know you said that you would prefer a single weapons. However for the change of my weapons, they are only about twelve inches around which isnt that long. I still intend to keep the powers though if that is ok.

[B]Name:[/B] Matthew McIntosh (If you must Mat for short)

[B]Gender:[/B] Male

[B]Age:[/B] 15

[B]Appearance: [/B] [URL=http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/2446/itachi2056mx.jpg]{click}[/URL]

[B]Sphere:[/B] Tornado Sphere

[B]Power:[/B] For now all that he can really do is use the wind to increase the ferocity of his attacking speed. This can be really powerful and destructive but also does rapidly drain his stamina if it is a continuous attack. He hasn?t achieved the ability to fly as of yet but can use the win to do high reaching jumps which can allow him to in a way "fly" as long as there is some kind of a building or an object around for him to rebound on. The final thing he can do with the wind is use it to create a kind of creasant like projectile attack that can cut through things, The stronger the cutting force of the attack the more energy that is used up however.

[B]Country:[/B] Japan (Kyoto)

[B]Personality:[/B] In one word to summarize his personality would be impulsive. He makes almost all of his decisions on an impulse which basically translates him into not the best and planning out a battle. More of a person who would rather talk and ask questions later and slice and dice first. Yet if a person was able to break through the rather unstable exterior of him they would be able to find a kind and gentle person on the inside.

It is however very rare for him to be in such a loving and caring mood, So rare intact that it actually has never happened once before. Yet he knows that under the seemingly uncaring and partially insane part of himself, however most of the time he tries not to let it out thinking that it is a kind of weakness that the world should not ever need to know.

[B]Weapon:[/B][URL=http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/632/44696lh.jpg]{click}[/URL] He wields a rather small wheel shaped weapon that can split into two if it needs to be done. he can throw it like a boomerang, however it is not as accurate nor quick as a smaller projectile would be, only a bit more powerful.

[B]Bio/Snippet:[/B]Origionally, he wasn?t from Japan at all. Mat was from the United States but due to his parents type of work was re located to Japan. His father left not to long after they all had moved to Japan and his Mother was diagnosed with a Chronic Illness so he being the oldest, took up the responsibility of raising the others in place for his parents at the time.

Time eventually passed since the initial and once they rest of his family of 4 and once it was deemed they had a little more in control than they were before they moved to Japan. It was then he had actually started to look around and explore the new environment he was put it. He was in a foreign land and intended to make the most of it.

Given more time passed and we find Mat today at the current time and see that he is actually well adapted to his new home, the cogs of his entire family had finally began to turn with his mother being able to get out of the bed for the first time in many months, with him almost not needed in his family anymore he tended to wonder around lightly slowly absorbing the culture of the lands around him into what he is today.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Guest LampLighter]

[size=1][b]Name:[/b] Lee Orton

[b]Gender:[/b] Male

[b]Age:[/b] 20

[b]Appearance:[/b] [url=http://img.ragnarok.co.kr/File/Wpap/Wpap_200514_18.jpg]Click Here[/url] (except he is typically not so smiley xD)

[b]Sphere:[/b] Water Sphere

[b]Powers:[/b] Lee has the power to manipulate water, or anything containing water, to his use. He can condense the air around him and see through fog as if it were plain sight (but in black and white). He travels much faster in/through/over water (including fog). He can also hold his breath far longer than the average person (but has yet to be able to not need to breath at all).

On the defensive side, since a majority of the human body consists of water, he heals quicker than normal (by no means [i]fast[/i], but what might take a person two days to recover could take him one). While he finds this power handy, he looks forward to being able to help heal others by controlling the water in [i]their[/i] bodies.

[b]Country:[/b] Australia

[b]Personality:[/b] Born the son of a fisherman, Lee is a quiet fellow with a strong work ethic. He is known for his outstanding luck, or impeccable timing (depending on who is telling the story). For there has yet to be a year since he started fishing off his own boat (rather than with his father) that he didn't hold the record on the docks for most fish brought in.

His silence in life makes me appear rather lonely, yet he remains unbothered. The other fisherman in his area say "he is like the eye of the storm ... but he's not much for harming others. He doesn't even gut his own fish." Lee is somewhat of a pacifist. If he fights, he only fights to stop the fight. Not to kill.

[b]Weapon:[/b] [u]Harpoon[/u] - A short, sturdy spear with a specialized tip at the end of a 25ft rope. Not one for fatally harming others, Lee is unlikely to use this to attack another person (with the blade portion, anyway). However, should someone become impaled on it, it hurts as much being pulled out as it does going in.

[b]Bio/Snippet:[/b] A baby born at sea becomes the sea itself. That about sums up the life of Lee Orton. His mother went in to labor while she and Orton's father were sharing a romantic outing on the family fishing boat. Since he didn't want to leave his wife to drive the boat back to the dock, he radioed for a doctor and one arrived twenty minutes later. It wasn't more than an hour after that, Lee was born.

From the moment he could even bait a hook, Lee has been brought up as a fisherman. Today he is practically a legend in his trade. Even when the fishing season seemed sparse for others, Lee was always able to bring back plenty of bounty. When asked "Where do you go to find your fish?" Lee simply responds, "I don't find them, they find me."

In the off season, he does deep-sea diving in search for clams and their precious pearls. He keeps a strong and growing collection of what he finds, of course selling the valuable ones for income during the off-season.


Sidenote: I'm not new to this forum. I'm actually a veteran going under a different name. So don't let my 'newness' fool you, lol. >_>[/size]

[Sakura]

[B]OOC:[/B] Wow, I'm surprised at how many sign ups I got in one night, thanks for the interest everyone, the sign ups seem to be going great. I'll leave the sign ups open for a few days for anyone else to join and for people to finish their forms. I'll try to make comments on people's sign ups in my next post.

[COLOR=Navy][B]Name:[/B] Sakura Akatsuki

[B]Gender:[/B] Female

[B]Age:[/B] 17

[B]Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://img99.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tifa7lb.jpg]Here[/URL], her outfit consists of a body-hugging, navy blue tank top, with creamy-beige cargo pants, and heavy black boots.

[B]Sphere:[/B] Light Sphere

[B]Powers:[/B] Sakura's powers are far from great currently; with her powers over Light, she can blind others if she wishes with sharp bursts; she can create orbs which she can throw, causing a burning and blinding sensation to the target, or hold to shed light on an area. As a result of having power over Light she can see in any types of conditions as if it was a bright, clear day. For a short amount of time, Sakura can make herself invisible by bending the light around her body, but since it takes a lot of energy, she can't hold it for very long. When exhausted in battle, she can revitalise herself once since it takes up a lot of energy, however she'll eventually be able to use it multiple times. And she has slight healing powers, nothing major; she can heal cuts and scrapes, and help the scabbing of larger wounds.

[B]Country:[/B] Japan (Tokyo)

[B]Personality:[/B] Sakura's a confident person and always tries to find the positive side of things. To some people she may seem like a difficult person to get along with, but that's a personal opinion since she's open and lets other see her real self, allowing the person to choose whether they want to become friends with her. Sakura's temper can rise quite quickly if she's in a particularly bad mood and she won't be much of a person to talk to, if she's sleepy, her conversations usually slow down from the fatigue.

As a friend, Sakura is loyal and trustworthy, able to keep secrets for friends if they just want to confess something to her without anyone else knowing. She loves her friends and family and will go to unimaginable lengths to protect them. She's a very caring and loving person, feeling the need to always protect everyone around her.

[B]Weapon:[/B] [URL=http://img495.imageshack.us/img495/5866/rmsw03m6l7uf.jpg]Light Rapier[/URL], it glows with an inner light constantly.

[B]Bio/Snippet:[/B] Sakura is the eldest of two, the second child is exactly 2 minutes and 30 seconds younger than her. Her twin brother, Daisuke looks very similar to Sakura, the main differences being their gender and hair style. The two of them were born into a middle class family, both of their parents work constantly, their father is an electrician, and their mother works as his secretary. They have quite a strong income since Tokyo's a technological city where things are constantly breaking.

One of Sakura's best friends was always a boy named JJ, they'd first met in primary school and were always in the same class up to current. They started dating a year ago on the day of the blooming of Cherry blossoms in their favourite park. Daisuke was always a little overprotective of his big sister but he didn't have a problem with JJ since he'd known him as well as Sakura had.

Sakura and JJ are yet to discover that they serve a higher purpose, and that perhaps they're not destined to be together as they thought, since Fate will soon pull them apart, changing both of them forever.[/COLOR]

[B]Gender:[/B] Female

[B]Appearance: [/B][URL=http://www.ppshare.com:11110/shadow_hearts/9992_pqle5f7gtm.jpg]{Click}[/URL]

[B]Sphere: [/B] Fire Sphere

[B]Powers: [/B] She can start fires, but they quickly grow out of control if she doesn't keep a close eye on it. She can also "throw" flames by punching something/someone and engulfing her hand in flame.

[B]Country:[/B] Romania

[B]Personality: [/B] She's extroverted and fun loving, but her parent's strict regime has kept her purposely cold and stoic. Only at with her two best friends can she truly be herself, and that often times gets her in trouble. Her whole life has been planned for her, right down to her future husband. No one had thought of her as being very impulsive until she came up missing, with most of her things gone as well.

It was hard on her, resulting in more than a few sleepless nights, but she knew that if she didn't escape her parent's tyranny she'd snap. On her way she realized she had slowly grown to resent all of the things her parents had given her, all of the material items they got to buy her love. Wanting nothing more than to be free of their rule, she sold all of her things and bought second-hand clothes. They weren't what they were used to, but she wore them with pride rooted in her new-found independence.

[B]Weapon: [/B] It's a thin, rapier-like sword with a red blade and a grip styled to resemble an arm with the pommel looking like a hand holding a peice of obsidian. It was the only thing given to her by her parents that she didn't sell or throw away.

[B]Bio/Snippet:[/B] The wind was whisking her hair into knots that cold winter night, and she had forgotten to bring anything with her to tie back her brownish-red mane. She shook her head and trudged through the snow, hoping to get to Bucharest by the end of the week and on a train to Budapest in Hungary from there. It would set back her funds, but getting out of the country by any means possible is absolutely fundamental to her plans. After Budapest it was off to Prague in the Czech Republic; then she'd be just another statistic, never to be found again.

No one knew she had planned all of it in advance, without the help of any of her friends and her route all planned out. Slowly she'd been saving up enough money to make it that far with a little bit to spare. After a long and exhausting two months, she found herself on the border of the Czech Republic and Germany without a penny to spare. With out a backward glance she stealthily avoided the border guards and found herself in Germany. It took a long, long time, but she finally found a place where she didn't always worry if she was breaking some rule or disappointing her family's name.

Eventually she made her way to Dresden and settled down for a while to experiment with the strange powers she had discovered on her journey. For some reason she had never grown cold and when her sleeve caught fire from a match, she wasn't burnt. It was exciting and frightening at the same time, and most nights her dreams were about nothing but fire. One of them she dreamt that the ocean had turned to flame and she was swimming in it. She tried to coax the people on the beach to join her, but they were screaming and writhing in pain. She looked down only to find the sand had turned to glass. Upon awakening, she found her makeshift bed had caught on fire and was spreading to the rest of the homeless shelter she was in. It was in that moment she decided to never endanger anyone else with her power and forsake human contact forever.[/CENTER][/FONT][/COLOR]

[Whattheflip]

[SIZE=1]Name: Ty "Tex" Williams

Gender: Male

Age: 15

Appearance: Ty has longish straight brown hair that falls past his big almond colored eyes, he is well toned, spending his life in the streets, and pretty tan because he often takes off his shirt in the Texas heat. Ty has the look of any local skate rat except he always has on a cowboy hat earning him the nickname "Tex" amonst his friends. Usually he wears tightish faded jeans with a tight black band tee and a white longsleeve underneath, and of course his white cowboy hat.

Spere: Fire Sphere

Powers: Ty has the ability to withstand extreme amounts of heat without feeling any sort of irritation. Also he can form very small fireballs and throw them, but not a lot at once and the fireballs are pretty small. (I've got cool ideas for powers later on, but you did say basic)

Country: Texas, USA

Personality: Ty is pretty outgoing and gets very offended if anyone teases him about his hat. When a crazy challenge or idea comes up Ty is the first to say "Lets do it" He is a big daredevil and never turns his back on any chance to show off. Society has labeled him as some dumb pot-smoking skater, but in reality he is a street-roaming genius, he can make almost anything with his hands and can find many ways out of tight spots. Although Ty usually is a daredevil, when he is alone or under some sort of emotion he can change completly, his attitude really depends on what he thinks of the people around him, if he likes a girl a lot he is sensitive and caring, but dependent at the same time, if he doesn't like a guy he's around he's a smartass always looking for a fight.

Weapon: Ty's weapon of choice is a 4 foot sword, that when in his hands glows red and gives off and intense heat sealing the wound instantly after he makes it.

Bio/Snippet: Ty was born into a broken home in the slums of Houston, as a kid he would always sit in a room and listen to his drunken parents scream at each other for hours on end until one day his dad just left leaving Ty with his whore of mom always coming home high on something and with some stranger. So one day at the age of 12 Ty just left and moved in with his best friend Bobby.

Bobby's parents took Ty in as one of their own in a house of 10 kids, Ty was just another one of the horde romping around the town causing mischief and trying to impress girls. Until one day when he and Bobby were skating around when they spotted an empty warehouse and decided to take a look inside. Once they bashed in a window and dropped inside, Ty pulled out some cigarettes thinking that this was a perfect place to smoke. Ty lit one up as Bobby was out exploring the rest of the warehouse, after a few minutes Bobby called Ty over to a corner where he had found an old skeleton of a car. Ty dropped his cig and walked on over to Bobby, but unknowingly Ty had dropped the cigarette right into some sort of flammable substance and soon the entire building was up in flames leaving to boys trapped.

As the building started to burn rafters started falling so Bobby and Ty sprinted across the room looking for some sort of an exit, but there wasn't one to be found. The building was really burning now and the boys could barely see through the smoke so they headed for the wrecked car when a beam fell in front of them knocking both of them out.

When Ty woke up he was in the emergency room feeling perfectly fine, he sat up and oberved his body noticing a few small burns and cuts, but nothing terrible. So he got up to go and find some news about Bobby when the doctor walked in and told Ty that Booby had died from severe burns. Ty couldn't accept it and knocked the doctor aside running for the exit, tears streaming down his face, he met Bobby's parents in the waiting room, but just kept running, he couldn't face them.

Ty never stopped running, he never could muster up enough courage to go back to his old house with Bobby's parents, so he made a life for himself on the streets performing for money and living with a group of boys like himself. They were his new family and he would die to save any of them.

(Ok that wasn't supposed to be a snippet, it's a bio just kinda long)[/SIZE]

[Revelation]

[size=1][color=#B2566B][B]Name-[/B] Revel Kwon, but occasionally called Revvy, even though it annoys her.
[B]Gender-[/B] Female
[B]Age-[/B] 17
[B]Country-[/B] New Zealand
[B]Appearance-[/B] [URL=http://img105.imageshack.us/img105/8167/aspen1ds.jpg]Revel Surfing[/URL]-
Living in areas where the most abundant natural source was water, Revel had become acquainted with it. She stands at five feet eight inches with a beautiful tanned body, showing definitions of muscles on it. Her hair is a beautiful black that always glistens in the sun due to her time in the water. She prefers to wear both guys? and girls? clothing, considering it?s comfortable. Her favorite style of clothing is guys? white and gray boardshorts, knitted white long-sleeve shirt worn underneath a black tee.

[B]Personality-[/B] Generally the element of water is naturally peaceful and gentle, but Revel come off nothing like the stereotypical personality her element is known to be. She is like the different bodies of water, taking upon herself a different attitude and motive into different situations. Like the raging river, Revel can be fierce and enduring, never letting her guard down. She pushes herself to finish and to move like the river, flowing freely to wherever it is she?s supposed to go. Then, she can be like the placid lakes, calm and tranquil with a touch of kindness, though the depth of her kindhearted personality can only go so far for lakes can never stay undisturbed.

Through the eyes of others, Revel is a reserved person, taking in everything around and allowing nature to surround her, she is a fiery character who has an open mind about everything and treats others fairly and equally, never underestimating anyone. Though one can say that Revel is quite the unpredictable person, never going with the flow, but with her as a friend, one can never be afraid to do what they will, like the water does what it wills.

[B]Sphere-[/B] Water Sphere

[B]Powers-[/B] Deriving her powers from the Sphere of Water, Revel has the ability to control water to a certain extent. By nature, she is already an amazing swimmer but with the addition of the Sphere, she has become an exceptional swimmer, being able to hold her breath underwater for short periods of time that is longer than the average person. She also has the skill to maneuvering small sections of water, such as puddles or droplets of rain, to act as weapons, small shields, and whatnot and even to create small blasts of water from the moisture in the air.

Being a native to areas embodied by water, Revel understands the functions of its ways, its forms, and itself as a whole. She understands the connection between the moon and the ocean, the sun and the rivers, and so much more. She also understands the myth of water having healing components, an ability which she has yet to master for she can only heal small wounds as well as help a simple cold. Adding to this, Revel has become intimate with the night, for it is the opposite of the source of Fire. Overall, there is little that Revel can do but throughout time, she will become a magnificent wielder of the Water Sphere, using water as a catalyst, a weapon, and much more.

[B]Weapon-[/B] Carried with her is a whip that moves like the water, either gently grasping an object or roughly lashing against the flesh. Near the end of the handle of the whip is an opening which allows water to enter, which then allows Revel to cover the whip with water, making it even harder for her opponents to defend themselves from it.

[B]Bio/Snippet-[/B] The waves began to swell up as Revel began to ride against it, carving the inside of the swell with intricate surfing tricks, until she came out of the other side victorious, listening to the crowd cheer greatly for her. It came time for the judges to add up the scores and announce the official winner of the entire New Plymouth Surfing Tournament. The announcer stepped up, [B]?And the winner of this competition is...?[/B] There was great anticipation waiting to hear the winner of the New Plymouth Surfing Tournament. [B]?Revel Kwon!?[/B] The crowd cheered once more for her, her mother running up to her with open arms, her friends and few relatives right behind her, laughing and cheering.

[B]?C?mon kiddo, we?re buyin? ya lunch.?[/B] A smile ran on her face, knowing that her stomach had been growling for the past hour or so. Her grandfather had that way about him. He was one of the most generous persons that she had ever met and yet he never asked for anything back. [B]?Ya deserve it.?[/B]

The family had gone out to a local restaurant owned by one of her mother?s friends. There was a great clamor once everyone got to talking, especially about Revel and her surfing. It was one of the things that she loved to do, starting at the age of four up to the present time, and it was something that she lived with but it wasn?t the only sport she held an interest in. She was also an avid skateboarder, snowboarder, swimmer, in-line skater, you name it, she?s probably done it or is doing it at the moment. She was an active girl who loved the outdoors just as much as the next kid on the block, in fact she was probably one of the few girls who ever stepped out of their homes to go out to the beach to surf and not to tan or ?scope out the boys,? as some of her friends would say.

At that moment, her friends had walked in and joined the family, Carla being the first to sit down and start up a conversation about boys, as usual. Revel wasn?t what you would call popular, but she knew people and people knew her, it had always been that way, even when she was a baby. She always loved to be around people but it had gotten difficult for her to even step out of the house without someone consoling her for the loss of her father. She hated every moment that they spent talking about him, not even thinking how it affected her, but once she got out to sea, she let everything float away.

After dinner, Revel and her friends walked around a bit before, New Plymouth wasn?t big but it wasn?t small but it was filled with tourists. [B]?These yanks need to go somewhere else. They?re taking up my air,?[/B] would have been something her father used to say, even though he enjoyed meeting people that wasn?t from Australia or New Zealand. At the end of the day, Revel bid her friends goodbye and decided to go out for another ride.

Revel was known to be particularly eccentric, considering she was an only child and her parents had wanted her to have the freedom that their parents never really gave them. She has a capricious way about her, something was always changing within her that willed her to do so many things, yet she still remembered the one thing that she did it for- her father. Many believed that this was her way of dealing with her father?s death, either by forgetting his death or by replacing his death with her activities, but those close to her knew that her father was the one who wanted Revel to be strong in life and to remember that no one leaves the earth without touching at least one heart and to also keep doing what she did best, even if it meant going against what she was taught.[/size][/color]

[Kitty]

[COLOR=#006aaf][SIZE=1][B]Name:[/B] Reveille Lange, but is usually (and prefers to be) called Kitty
[B]Gender:[/B] Female
[b]Age:[/b] 15

[b]Appearance:[/b] [url=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/PicKitty/RandomPicchus/Oguitarbabe.jpg]Kitty[/url]

[b]Sphere:[/b] Wind Sphere

[b]Powers:[/b] Kitty has the ability to speed up, slow down, or completely stop (but only if the target is smaller than a car) the movement of herself and other things with the wind she can control. She can also move light things around her. She can't fly or even levitate yet, but she'll practice (if she can summon the patience).

[b]Country:[/b] California, US

[B]Personality:[/B] Kitty is a very laidback girl. Often seen slouching, she carries herself with a very aloof attitude. She cares little for what's going on around her, even if it has something to do with her. She has very little patience and a short attention span, so it's hard for her to be determined about or dedicated to anything. However, she enjoys, and is normally found sleeping, snacking, playing video games or with cards, going to see movies, listening to or singing along with her music, practicing her guitar, or reading comics. Her favorite music genres are rock, punk, metal, and some J-pop. She is not a very shy person, though she is quiet. She has a tendancy to blurt out what she is thinking, rather than keeping it to herself.

Most would see her as an arrogant brat that thinks of everyone else as nothing more than obstacles in the way of whatever it is that she wants, and that is, unfortunately, the case most of the time. Whenever her caring side manages to show itself, it is usually when her concern for another is recognized, normally when that person or thing is hurt or something. But she tells people not to hold their breath when they want her to be caring more often. She has somehow managed to feel guiltless, even when she is rude and cold to others. It's also somewhat amazing that she has any friends that can stand her sarcastic and somewhat narcissistic attitude.

[B]Weapon:[/B] Kitty uses small projectiles, including knives and pins she keeps hidden on her person, that she can make act like boomeranges and accelerate to dangerous speeds with the wind. Her favorite is a medium-sized pocket knife (the largest she carries with her) she bought at a carnival she went to. In the handle, the word "deceit" is etched in silver lettering. She thought it was strangely fitting to such a weapon, since a knife is normally used for stabbing someone when they least expect it.

[B]Bio/Snippet:[/B]
The distance was becoming blurry, and it was hard to concentrate. Everyone else had somehow disappeared, though their voices still echoed across the landscape. Reveille stood quietly, glaring down a large lake of black water that looked more like a black hole than a body of water. Suddenly, the wind picked up, scattering the eerie calm of the lake into smaller whirlpools of darkness. And as she opened her mouth to speak, a loud beeping filled the world, and she groaned angrily as the dream world faded to black.

[b]"Why do you need to sleep so much, Kitty? You take at least ten cat naps everyday!"[/b] her mother teased, dragging the blankets off her bed.

[b]"Shut up,"[/b] she snapped, slowly making her way over to her alarm clock to shut it off. [b]"It's already past eight. I'm late. Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"[/b]

[b]"I thought you had set your alarm."[/b] Kitty glared at her mother until she shook her head and left the room, closing the door behind her. Grabbing her uniform, she changed swiftly before gliding out her room and down the stairs. In the kitchen, her younger brother was eating cereal while watching the beginning of some cartoon, kicking his feet merrily as he hummed along.

[b]"Will you need a ride?"[/b] her mother asked, entering the kitchen from the dining room.

[b]"Nah. I'll walk."[/b]

Slamming the screen door behind her as she always did, Kitty walked swiftly through the lawn and up the sidewalk. As she stared at the sky above her, daydreaming like she always did when she wasn't sleeping, she became unaware of the rest of her surroundings. Not even a minute later, without warning, she ran into something. Stumbling backwards a few steps, she blinked when she realized she'd hit the school's doors.

[b]"Wait a.. How the hell'd I get here? How long have I been zoning out?"[/b] she mumbled to herself. Shrugging it off, she pushed her way through the doors and headed towards the office with a fake note in her pocket. She was sure to have one with her everyday, just in case.

---

OOC: Well, since I hate being called by my full first name (and it's difficult to spell until you get used to it), and my nickname is too similar to Revelation's character's, I'll be referring to my character as Kitty for the most part. The rest of you won't have to (if I get in), though. And sorry for not having the Bio/Snippet done. I just can't think of anything right now. I blame the time that I'm typing this. ^__^;

EDIT: Okay... [i]Finally[/i] finished. xD;; I hope I'm not too late.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Sakura]

[COLOR=Navy]Whoo! I'm very happy with the sign ups, and I've made some decisions.

[B]Blayze[/B], congrats, you've got the position of Magma Sphere, so no more sign ups for that thanks. [B]Ayokano[/B], congrats to you too, you get the Gaia Sphere. Well done both of you, your sign ups were great.

Um, I don't want any more sign ups for the Wind Sphere please because I'm deciding on who to choose at the moment. For [B]Kitty[/B] and [B]Lionheart[/B] that signed up for Wind, I'm waiting for you guys to finish up before I make my decision.

On Water, it was tough but I decided on [B]Revelation[/B]. LampLighter, I would love it if you signed up again differently, maybe Tundra if you don't want to adjust much.

[B]Whattheflip:[/B] Yes, we get our weapons after we get our spheres. And if you would change it to only one sword, that'd be appreciated since I don't really want people to have multiples unless they're throwing items.

[B]Lionheart:[/B] You've forgotten to add your weapon.

[B]Ikillion[/B] and [B]Starwind[/B]: I don't think your weapons suit your elements so if you could change them to be more compatible, that'd be great, thanks.

So I'm still making decisions, and we're still waiting for JJ's sign up. Once everything's been taken care of it'll be up in the Square, so hopefully everything will be wrapepd up soon.

Thanks for taking interest everyone ^__^[/COLOR]

[JJ]

[Font=Arial][B]Name:[/B] JJ Azunio

[B]Gender:[/B] Male

[B]Age:[/B] 17

[B]Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/3827/guys527il.jpg]JJ[/URL] with his sword.

[B]Sphere:[/B] Dark

[b]Powers:[/b] Being the holder of the Sphere of Dark, JJ can control darkness. His most unnoticeable talent is to dim the world around him with a single thought. He can also launch off balls of darkness, which can engulf his opponent in a momentary darkness giving him the upper hand. He can also travel invisible through the darkness, although holding it for long periods of time drain him fully. At night, he can also call upon the stars to rain upon his enemies, although at this point and time, very few come.

[b]Country:[/b] Japan

[b]Personality:[/b] Despite being the keeper of the Sphere of Dark, JJ is a very quiet and thoughtful guy. He has never been one to do things brashly and usually thinks out every step he takes very carefully. Try as he might, he can never break his habit of truly saying how he feels to people he does not trust.

JJ is one of those guys that should stick out in a crowd, but does not, because he does not want to. Sakura and Daisuke are the only people JJ really feels safe around and in that perspective, it?s no surprise that they all are good friends. JJ would never admit it, but he has trust issues and though no very prominent, they still linger.

[b]Weapon:[/b] The Holy Avenger. (The sword in the pic)

[b]Snippet:[/b]JJ knew today was the day. The cherry blossoms were fluttering off the trees in the park and the sun was shining through the trees. JJ, Sakura and Daisuke had wanted to have a picnic in the park one last time before Daisuke headed off for an exchange program in America for six months.

As the three began to wind down, JJ took Sakura off for a few minutes to talk to her alone. Everything seemed to be perfect. JJ bent down at the knee and took Sakura?s hand in his. It was then his words failed him. As Sakura?s eyes seemed to glaze over in excitement, JJ?s tongue tied up.

?Sakura, will you be...? JJ started.

?No, Sakura, would you consider?? He tried again.

?Sakura, I?? His third attempt started

?JJ, what is it?? She asked, still smiling.

?Sakura, wouldyougooutwithme?? JJ asked quickly.

Sakura smiled and jumped into JJ?s arms, kissing him.

?Does that answer your question?? She questioned, kissing him again.

?Of course.? JJ responded, smiling.[/font]

[Random]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1][i]Hope I'm not too late, Sakura. I wanted to sign up for this a while ago, but I didn't have time 'till now. If I'm too late, I'll understand...but if not, anything you want me to fix, lemme know.[/i]

[B]Name:[/B] Rickky Myers

[B]Gender:[/B] Male

[B]Age:[/B] 19

[B]Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://www.anime-revolution.com/wp-content/paulvash5yb.jpg]Rickky[/URL]

[B]Sphere:[/B] Tornado Sphere

[B]Powers:[/B] Rickky's powers give him a slight upper hand in fighting. His sphere grants him greater agility and reflexes. Also, he is able to run faster than normal when he concentrates. This drains his body both mentally and physically, so he uses it only in times of great need.

[B]Country:[/B] Egypt (Cairo)

[B]Personality:[/B] Rickky is as compulsive and indecisive as the wind. He cannot seem to ever make up his mind on anything, but strangely has high personal convictions and oppinions. As such, he isn't afraid to speak his mind, and does so often. This has gotten him in alot of trouble, and given him a few not so nice titles.

Rickky can be quite persuasive, but sometimes his passoin gets out of hand. He can argue 'till he's read in the face, not believing that the other could be right. Still, he is loyal to all those he considers friends, which is few, and will follow them to the ends of the earth.

He hates boundries and limitations, a.k.a. rules and the like. He will follow commands, albeit with distane.

[B]Weapon:[/B] A Blade Whip. It looks like a sword, and fits into a sheath, but the blade is actually in segments, connected by thin, sturdy wire.

[B]Bio/Snippet:[/B] Rickky grew up in Canada, but then decided to move to Cairo, Egypt. He was always facinated with Egypt, and had dremt of going there his whole life. Finally, just after his 19th birthday, he was given the chance to go. His best friend, Victoria, had won tickets to Cairo from a television add, and she decided to take Rickky with her.

Rickky, besides always wanting to go there, decided to leave with Victoria because he viewed it as an escape from his home and family. He had never gotten along with them, and saw the trip as a door opening for him to finally be free of their grasp. Not to mention, he had been dumped by his girlfriend of six years not but two hours before Victoria phoned with her proposal.

His only reason to not go was a strange feeling in his gut. Something big was to happen if he left. Something he couldn't stop, yet something he couldn't figure out. Whatever it was, whatever the feeling, he was convinced to go.

Now, he is in his dream land, Cairo, living life as he wanted...but he senses that something strange is going to happen, and the feeling in his gut grew with each passing day. [/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Sakura]

[COLOR=Navy]Hey guys, sorry for the long wait, I'm still waiting on a few things.

For now, I've made my decision about the Wind Sphere, and after deliberation, I chose [B]Kitty[/B]. [B]Lionheart[/B], if you wish you may apply for another position that's open.

I don't want any more sign ups for [B]Fire[/B] thanks. I'm expecting someone to sign up, but they don't post it in 3 days, I'll choose from the people that have already signed up.

For [B]Tornado[/B] and [B]Tundra[/B], I've allowed [B]JJ[/B] to choose who he wants for his team, so when he gets back to me then I'll post it up.

I hope you guys keep interest until I finally start this thing up.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][b]Name:[/b] Brittany(Bri -Pronounced like Bree) Hodges
[b]Gender:[/b] Female
[b]Age:[/b] 15
[b]Appearance:[/b] [URL=http://www.psycko-hentai.de/grafix/gallery/bg12/tri45.jpg]{CLICK}[/URL]
[b]Sphere:[/b] Fire
[b]Powers:[/b] Bri can heat her body to high temperatures, though as hard as she tries she still cannot produce fire, though she can burn or melt someone?s skin.
[b]Country:[/b] Milan, Italy
[b]Personality:[/b] Bri is generally a wild and fun person. At least that?s what friends say, others may call her annoying or crazy, some even go as far to call her an escapie from the loony bin . If you hear a loud voice in a normally quite place, its Bri. Not that she likes to disturb the peace, no she loves disrupting the ?norms?. Bri has been arrested for just that.
When Bri isn?t driving people to drink she simply chilling out at home, leading her parents to drink. Though on a serious note, Bri can spout random bits of knowledge every once in a while. When she?s ?chillen? she listens to music or reads, which many people doubt, even her friends.
[b]Weapon:[/b] Marbles, that she can heat up till they explode.
[b]Bio/Snippet:[/b] When Bri was young she had a speech problem and it wasn?t taken care of until she entered Kindergarten, which was when she first started taking speech classes. Before she attended the classes Bri was easily frustrated because she knew what she was saying because it sounded right to her but, everyone else around her hadn?t the slightest idea what she was saying. Which is probably why through out her first few years of school she kept to herself.
When she entered Middle school however, that all changed. Bri started speaking up and trying to get people to notice her. How she did that was simple, dress in all black. Though that was only a temporary attention getter. After meeting two new friends both by the name Jacob, Bri went crazy. She did weird things, like wearing her cloths backwards.
In her first year of high school Bri still caries on the strange behavior though saves most of it for after school hours due to an event involving a water gun and school rules. Let?s just say two weeks of suspension fits the price.
With every high there?s a low though and Bri?s is her gullible behavior when dealing with relationships. The belt on her wrist is her promise to never be in a relationship after having her heart torn to pieces and the belt being the only thing she had left to remember her mistake.

[b]OOC:[/b] I know you said no one else sign-up for fire but, I'm not a very good baddie so I hope you don't mind if I use it. But, if you wan tme to try for being the dark side then I will. Tornado probely. Oh, and hope my chary is good enough, though no hurt feelings if you don?t pick me! [/COLOR]

[color=red][size=1][b]Name.:[/b] Alexei Kraskinov. Either called Alex, Alexei, or Kras. Prefers Alexei and Kras, as Alex is too casual for his liking. Always being different is a vitrue, Alexei says.

[b]Gender.:[/b] Male.

[b]Age.:[/b] 17.

[b]Apperance.:[/b] [url=http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/8725/abelnightroad36mm.jpg][Click here.][/url]. Although unique, his taste is found wonderful everywhere he goes-by the women, at least. Most call his look gothic or emo, but he just walks it off. They don't know anything about what kind of person is, and Alexei is not one to judge by looks.

[b]Sphere.:[/b] Fire. Alexei prefers to just call it 'his.'

[b]Powers.:[/b] Alexei mostly uses this in a unique way-conjuring a bow of fire and firing off rapid shot arrows. Keep in mind, this is the most base power, and not his only form of using it at his starting level. He can start small fires and heat things with a touch.
[b]Country.:[/b] Moscow, Russia.

[b]Personality.:[/b] To put it this way, Alexei Kraskinov is a sniper rifle. Calm, collected, cool, and just waiting for the right minute to strike. Slipping his way past someone's defenses-mental or physical-he can make them melt or enrage. When that time comes, it's time for the kill, and then, [i]bang.[/i] You'd expect one with a flamboyant clothing style that possesses the Fire orb to be a hothead, but no. Suave and calm, with a voice like silk and an even softer touch, the only time the fire comes out is when you get him riled up. In case you want to know how to get him riled up, here's two ways.

One. Harm any innocents and bystands. Alexei's family raised him with a high moral code, and he intends to live up to his family's name and honor of Kraskinov, even if his great great grandfather was a butcher, of the human sense.

Two. Disrespect his family's name. Spit on his family, and you won't have a bottom jaw to hold all the blood and spit anymore. This is something you definately won't want to do unless you're looking for a good fight. Which I don't reccommend. Seven years of military training under his belt-(his father was in the army.)-and an ample form, it'd be quite a mistake.

[b]Weapon.:[/b] A brutishly large bastard sword with an ornate design of a chimera breathing fire upon a vampire running down the blade. Alexei has also studied several forms of hand to hand combat.

[b]Snippet.:[/b] The chilly night air slipped between Alexei's clothes, but he didn't take notice. He was too busy to take notice, as he watched the inhabitants of the city of Moscow flow about in a blaze of lights and sounds. [i]Hmm...I wonder. Math finals tommorow. Not exactly fun. I wonder if I can get my father to send me out on some exotic mission?[/i] Toying with the thought, Alexei Kraskinov was [i]bored.[/i] It was time to visit the old sparring arena.

Leaping off of the balcony and catching a branch, Alexei lowered himself to the ground carefully and set off through the damp and chilly grounds. The only thing bad about living on an estate as large as this was the sheer distance you had to go to leave it. Finally reaching the gates, Alexei Kraskinov was on the streets and headed off towards the old military buildings. As he drew closer, the sounds of fighting grew louder and more intense. It sent a joyful tingle up his spine.

Fingering the cross on his necklace, he flung himself over a small wall and ran a hand through his platinum hair. The fighting ceased and all eyes were drawn to him. A grin painted itself on Alexei's face.

Although he spoke Russian and English, he preferred English. "What, you all stop because I show up? Then as a penalty, send your strongest man forward. Let's see if a military child can match him." His canine teeth glinted. Using his title as a Military Child as a taunt, when he surpassed most within the first four years of his training? It still goaded them, and they sent a strong looking, brutish man with thick forearms and a rather handsome face forward. He was maybe twenty, twenty five.

Walking forward, Alexei extended a hand, and the man met it silently. Alexei Kraskinov, age seventeen, and as cocky as sin. The challenger knew Alexei's past fairly well. Studied many forms of hand to hand combat, and wasn't bad with a pistol or a rifle. This looked dangerous. Glancing down, he saw the shine of metal and edges upon Alexei's boots. Of course. Hidden blades for even more dangerous kicks.

The fight began and was over within minutes. Heel on the challenger's neck, Alexei was panting slightly, but wore a smile. Russian air was perfect for fighting, because the cold of the elements and the heat of his passion for fighting mixed so well together. This was what his inner flame was-combat. He lived for it.

[b]"Maybe I'll teach you a few new things. Until then, continue to...train, you called it?"[/b] Pulling the man up to his feet, Alexei brushed the dirt off of his chest and legs, running a gloved hand through his hair, then down to push his glasses up onto the bridge of his nose before walking into the light of the city.[/color][/size]

[COLOR=Navy]Alright, this is it, the decisions have been made.

The position of [B]Fire[/B] will be filled by [B]Aizen[/B]. And [B]JJ[/B] has told me his two choices as, [B]Ikillion[/B] for [B]Tornado[/B], and [B]Starwind[/B] for [B]Tundra[/B], since he was the only person that signed up for it.

Thanks for signing up everyone, I'm sorry if you didn't get in but they were hard decisions to make.

For those who got in, I'll try to get it up soon, so expect it within a few days, hopefully. I'll PM everyone when its up and running.
