[COLOR=DarkRed][B]?Raaagh!!! Aaaagggghhh!!!? [/B]

The creature moaned in pain, grasping the colossal demonic wings protruding from it?s back. This pain never ceased, but it only took its toll when they were unleashed. But if the wings weren?t let out by choice?they?d come out by force. The creature retracted its wings, withdrew it?s horns into its head. A black mist engulfed the room swirling inside like a vortex. It finally subsided, and all that was left was a bare beautiful woman, gasping for air. The door behind her opened, and a red-haired male attendant came in, giving her garments to change into. He ran his hand through her hair, then left. He walked back to the main lab, where the other assistants were waiting. He looked at the others gathered around the room, sorrow in his eyes. They all knew her pain better than any other.

The red-haired man looked at his brethren. There were seven of them. All were completely loyal to the doctor, they loved her dearly. They were, after all, her children. Helena?s creations. The red-haired man, Lust, was 6?, and had immoral red eyes. The woman to his left, Gluttony, was slender, and had short, orange hair, with eyes that were constantly searching for food. Next to her was Envy, an attractive, green-haired woman, and Pride, whose hair was jet-black, her mouth cocked into that mocking smile she often held. Away from the group was Sloth, sprawled out in a chair in the corner of the room, his spiked hair covering his face as he slept, Wrath, who stood besides the machinery, experimenting on lab rats, and Greed, who sat alone thinking of ways to use the Doctor?s experiments to make money. They were different?but united under one. The door to the lab slid open as the doctor walked in. She waltzed past her ?children? and walked to the machine charging behind all the other experiments. The Doctor put her hand against the machine, and her eyes lit up as she rubbed it.

[B]?Dimensional travel. Even in this day and age?It is thought to be impossible. But..but I?ll show them. Today, I will travel to another dimension. It must happen today. I cannot fail. I?ve?I?ve sacrificed to much,?[/B] she slid her hands over the scars left from her wings, [B]?for it to fail. He promised??[/B]

[U]+ + +Outside + + +[/U]

A young man and his friends rode frantically on their motorbikes towards the laboratory. They had received word of a nuclear bomb landing in this vicinity, and they had to warn the doctor. The young man, Shin, was the doctor?s son. And he knew that she planned to use the machine tonight. If he didn?t tell her not to?the result would be catastrophic. [I]Mom?I have to get to you. I know this?project means everything to you, but you mean everything to me.[/I] He accelerated, leaning into his bike. He finally saw the lab in the distance. A smile passed his face. [I]I made it[/I]. His thoughts were disturbed a yelp from behind.

[B]?Shin! Look up!?[/B]

Shin raised his head frantically, and his eyes opened wide at what he beheld. The nuke. Since warfare had advanced, they no longer needed to launch another bomb at it. Once it hit?Once it hit?It would all be over. Tears streamed from Shin's face, and he slowed bike to a stop. He sat there and he hit the handlebar of his bike furiously. [I]Why? Why damn it?[/I] Light streamed over his face as he cried. [I]So this is the end?wait? That light isn?t the?[/I] He looked up quickly. The light was shining from the lab. She had activated it. Her life dream was going to be destroyed, and her along with it. Shin watched the nuke crash into the lab, and watched as green and white light fused together. The wave of fluorescent light flowed over them, and then darkness.

[COLOR=Black][i][B]Across the fold of space and time:[/B][/i][/COLOR]

Seven people sat round in the holy chamber, listening to the horrid screams from the other room. Lust, in his Illusionist?s armor, grabbed the Sage?s outfit and brought it to his creator. He walked into the room, gave it to her, and ran his hand through her hair. He left, and she dressed. Her body shook violently from her transformation, but she kept together. She had finally mastered it. The lost Sage?s skill. Dimensional travel. And she would use it today. She would become the most powerful being alive. She finished dressing, then walked into the holy chamber, preparing to perform her spell.

[U]+ + +Outside+ + +[/U]

A Knight watched as the dwarf he was holding died. [I]Was he lying? Were?were they really going to perform the Banishing Chasm Spell on her? Sending her straight to the fiery depths below?[/I] He wouldn?t let that happen to Helena. He had a mission to perform. He grabbed a wyvern, and took to the sky, flying of to the temple as quickly as he could. His comrades traveled in close pursuit behind him. He saw the temple at last, but it was to late. The barrier had been put up around the temple, to keep anything from getting out. The giant sorcerous circle in the sky above the barrier, and shot a green blast of energy down towards Helena. But from the temple emanated a blinding white light, one that shot forth and counteracted with destructive wave coming towards it. The lights fused and spread over the land. And then?darkness.[/COLOR]

[B]*****[/B]

Two worlds.

Two realities.

Both worlds are suffering from a time of war, between two great powers. One reality?s war is fought with Mechs, machine guns, the other fought with beasts, sorcery. Doctor/Sage Helena, the most revered scientist/ powerful mage of her time, has finally made blueprints for a machine/ recovered a spell, to make dimensional travel possible. Determined to ensure that she would be successful, she made a deal with the dark one. He granted her a new form, and unlimited knowledge. With this knowledge she worked towards her dream. And, at the exact same moment in both realities, Helena put her method to test, only to have immeasurable amounts of energy interfere with the process. The result of these catastrophic events was simple. Two realities were destroyed.

And one was created.

Now the residents of both worlds have been fused together with their counterparts. Skilled snipers from the future have been melded together with their other world counterparts. Planes have fused with Phoenixes. Tanks and Behemoths have become one. And the two Helenas have finally come together, in a body far from human. But?She has gone mad. Wild with delirium, she seeks to reverse the ?chaos? she has caused by bringing together the two realms. And in her eyes, the only means of restoring order is by destroying the anomalies she?s created. No single being can stand up to her might.

Except for them. Shin, Helena?s lover, and their comrades.

[SIZE=2][B]Countries of the Great Continents.[/B][/SIZE]

[B]Northern Continent [The Vermilion Lands]:[/B]
[U]I. The Realm of Gabriel[/U]
[I]Shooting Range-[/I] An area used for both veterans and beginners, this shooting range is where the greatest marksmen have come from, all around the world. Though not favorable of those from the Southern Continent, it accepts all.
[U]II. The Realm of Michael[/U]
[I]The Warrior?s Academy-[/I] Michael?s love for the art of the blade has caused him to open up a school for those interested in the pursuit of impressive swordsmanship. Spars are often held at the Academy, though of a different nature from the one?s held by the other leaders. Purely for good-natured fun, the only time the duals become deadly is when Michael takes a personal challenge.
[U]III. The Realm of Uriel[/U]
[I]The Ring-[/I] Uriel?s grand boxing ring, welcome for one and all to try their hand against the god of fighting. An unparalleled boxer, not a fighter has lasted more than a round against his swift fists. However, other fighters engage in battle in the ring as well, proving their dominance over one another.
[U]IV. The Realm of Raphael[/U]
[I]The Mages Academy-[/I] Not unlike Michael?s school, this school is devoted purely to the studies of all things magical. Ranging from elementalism to the feared art of necromancy, all you need to become the most powerful of mages is the will to live. And the ability to defeat Raphael.
[U]V. The Realm of Metatron-[/U]
[I]The Arena-[/I] All fighters gather to the golden gates of this coliseum every day with hopes of becoming the champion. Axe-wielders, swordsmen, and lancers of all shapes and sizes, amongst the other competitors, come and duel to the death. Only the foolish challenge Metatron, who?s blade alone causes the mightiest of me to tremble with fear.
[U]VI. The Realm of Sandalphon-[/U]
[I]The Grande Theatre-[/I] A place for the rich and the poor to come and share their love for the theatre. Plays go on every night, where even the dredge of society dresses up to watch these marvelous entertainers act. The playhouse can always be found packed on nights where Sandalphon himself performs.

[B]Southern Continent [The Crimson Earth]: [/B]
[U]I. Kingdom of Mephistopheles[/U]
[I]The Cathedral-[/I] This rather marvelous and impressive structure is visited by thousands a day, all searching for an answer to their life. All come world round to receive council from Mephistopheles and to hear how their lives will turn out.
[U]II. Kingdom of Abbadon[/U]
[I]The Citadel-[/I] A rather dark and quiet place that only the truly abstract of thinkers can appreciate for its dark beauty. Home to the most lost and desperate of society to visit and stay if need be, Abbadon herself patrols the hallways and large rooms with her mighty axe slung over her shoulders, making sure that all with in the fortress have a level of security.
[U]III. Kingdom of Lilith[/U]
[I]The Harem -[/I] Very entrancing place in itself, but the mere thought of a man to have instant companionship in the beautiful halls is enough to drive anyone mad. Very few men who enter actually come out... Because most men who enter end up dead. They either die of dehydration, starvation, or are murdered by the women they eagerly came to see.
[U]IV. Kingdom of Asmodai[/U]
[I]The Training Yard-[/I] Only a handful of students are allowed to actually train here, a small battalion of female warriors underneath Asmodai. People are allowed in all the time, however, to spectate, and strong females are allowed to single out one of Asmodai?s girls and fight them. If they win, they are allowed into the school, and the loser is killed on the spot.
[U]V. Kingdom of Mammon[/U]
[I]The Underground-[/I] Illegal boxing at it?s finest. Bare-knuckled warriors from across the globe come and put one another to shame, leaving in a bloodied mess if they leave at all. The king, or rather, the queen of the ring, Mammon, is always looking for a good fight. She?ll only accept battles against those she deems ?worthy?, however.
[U]VI. Kingdom of Beelzebub[/U]
[I]The Opera House-[/I] The voices of those who perform can be heard for blocks in every direction. These beautiful songs attract a full house every night, and never ceases to amaze the populace. Beelzebub always takes audience in these performances, and if they play goes in a way she doesn?t ?favor? the actors suddenly have a change of heart, or, more accurately, a loss of control.

[color=dimgray][size=1][b]Name:[/b] Lucian Morsain[/size][/color]
[color=dimgray][size=1][b]Age:[/b] 24[/size]
[size=1][b]Class/ Job:[/b] Berserker[/size][/color]
[color=dimgray][size=1][b]Weapon:[/b] Lucian utilizes 5 Katanas, four of which are normal, though the one strapped to his back, is a Daito Katana bearing about half the length larger than a normal sized blade. Though he is also is rather proficient with the use of his bare hands as weapons. He also has recently started employing hidden throwing knives.[/size][/color]

[color=dimgray][size=1][b]Appearance:[/b] See attachment. Lucian stands at 6'1" while weighing roughly 194 lbs. He has a muscular body honed and cut by war. His black hair and jade green eyes, as well as olive complexion give him an exotic look. Lucian wears a white shirt under a black vest, along black pants that stop mid calf revealing a small amoun of skin between the folded tops of his black boots. His only armor are a pair of bracers and plated leather gaunlets and he normally wears a gray cloack over all of this.[/size][/color]

[color=dimgray][size=1][b]Skills:[/b] The two of his most obvious skills are swordsmanship, and the ability to put himself into a beserkers trance making speed, strength, endurance increase, as does pain tolerance making it easy to bleed to death from small wounds, he can also fight himself unconsious if he stays in the state to long. As well as being exhausted apon returning to normal, in this state he is dangerous to all but close friends whom he trusts with his life, all others are seen as enemies, he only uses this as a last resort. They are not his only skills his others consist of being a excellent falconer, extremely agile, infiltraiting and assasination, as well as the odd skill of people wanting to fight him, though few want to continue after learning he is what some call Bloody's when among close friends. [/size]

[size=1][b]Genetic Variation:[/b] Elemental Mastery of Air. Lucian is able to bend air and wind to the extent of his imagination. He can preform simple feats such a burst of air to know a foe to the ground, or alter and throw projectiles/objects, to restricting and restraining enemies. More advanced shows of his power consist of whirlwinds, hovering/flight, barriers, and more powerful balls of air. The last two things he has figured out are deadly, suffocation of an enemy and adjusting pressure to crush body parts.[/size]

[size=1]Also his speed has increased a great amount, though he hasn't been able to figure out if this has anything to do with his mastery of Air.[/size]

[size=1][b]Personality:[/b] Rather happy-go-lucky he takes everything in stride with a cool, confident demeanor. Once set to a task he will not hesitate or stop until it is finished, as long as it doesn't put in danger innocents. He prizes life dearly especially that of women and children, even though he is capable of killing without mercy. Quick to judge, even quicker to pass cold judgement. A natural socialite he gets along with most everyone other than the occasional ruffian wants to fight. Actually is quite educated and gifted in Battle Tactics, he seldom uses this knowledge out of lack of need. A rouge beserker had little need for an education, in matter of fact they have little need of much beyond their own hands. Often he will act like he is a weakling, out of the fact he gets tired of fighting.[/size]

[size=1][b]Motivation:[/b] If there is ever going to be peace, Helena murderous lunacy must be stopped first, not to mention a massive bounty for her head, or should I say heads.[/size]

[size=1][b]Biography:[/b] Born in the world of the past, Lucian's childhood was spent training to become a Paladin. His father being one of the Holy Knights sought to instill his legacy into his son, who was more than capable. Naturally gifted with the sword Lucian was predicted to advance to great things within the order, though that all came crashing down after an ambush that proved fatal for his father. [/size]

[size=1]"Stay behind me son" was the last thing his father said before he and 5 other Paladins rushed to face the 13 assasins. Lucian was forced to watch his father slaughtered, before the turned to finish him, he wasn't part of the job, just extra fun. Lucian had no idea what happened at first, his once white tunic smeared and splattered with blood. His gauntleted hands shaking, dripping crimson over a bloody face, and dented helmet. He might have never known if one of the member of his fathers squad hadn't survived and witnessed the brutality of a beserker. He described that Lucian moved and fought like a demon, like the blade was a paintbrush, the medium of his art, as he created his first masterpiece. The man said if it wasn't for he injured state that he would have likely died that day, if not by the hands of the enemy, by the hands of a warrior of rage.[/size]

[size=1]With no place or desire to stay within the Holy Order of Knights he became a rouge, taking on the jobs all but few would take, and walking away from them unscathed. His rare ability earning him money for food on the table, ale in his cup, a girl on his lap and a roof over his head. His services became highly requested, Lucian even occasionally doing jobs for one of the armies, his reputation of getting the job done no matter what only increased. It's hard to argue when a single man can go up against a small brigade and come out with only a few wounds.[/size]

[size=1]His trance state continued to develop, and he found himself able to remember and see what he was doing. It was like watching the world from someone's eyes. He had no controll and it was amazing to see how strong he was, how fast he moved, though it was also terrible to realize the carnage he could inflict with out heed for man, woman or child. Lucian aghast at his ruthlessness began to go beserk less and less, relying on his more than capable normal fighting ability. Though still the memories haunted him, and he could find little sleep without brandy or liquor to calm his spirits.[/size]
[size=1][/size]
[size=1]Lucian spent awhile away from it all training himself, body and mind, if a Beserker was going to be part of him, it would not be the part to shape him. Slowly he began to gain the ability to return to his normal state, as well as prevent himself from attacking close friends and non-threats, though it is still a delicate balance. He finally felt like he had assured a small part of his identity, that he wouldn't become a feral killing beast, that he could maintain a sense of his humanity and also finding a small sense of peace left from his days in the Holy Knights.[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=dimgray]Though everything around him, as well as the powers inside him changed as white light melded with green and engulfed the world.....[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=darkred]OOC: I hope thats ok Abel let me know if I need to change anything.[/color][/size]
[size=1][color=#8b0000][/color][/size]
[size=1][color=#8b0000]PS sorry the bio is rather short, not much to say about him, he is relatively simple.[/color][/size]

[Sakura]

[B]OOC:[/B] Abel! I feel stupid for not realising your previous Usernames. Glad you decided to redo this.
[B]EDIT:[/B] Complete, did a Snippet as I messaged you about. It's very Gundam-esque because.....well....because I'm piloting Strike Freedom, so the controls, visuals, way to get in and out, and the weapons are the same.

[COLOR=Navy][B]Name:[/B] Julia Valentine

[B]Age:[/B] 25

[B]Class/ Job:[/B] Mech Pilot

[B]Weapon:[/B] Her mech; [URL=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/38/Strike_Freedom_Gundam.jpg]Dark Strike[/URL] (called just Dark or Strike), a pair of [URL=http://img426.imageshack.us/my.php?image=jericho6ic.jpg]Guns[/URL] in holsters on her waist, and her plugsuit is tough so she can fight in it, using it as armour.

[B]Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/3883/gwrangerac7.jpg]Here[/URL], she wears a white, button up dress-shirt and navy blue cargo pants when she's being casual. While piloting her Mech, she wears [URL=http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/6108/newbgciu1.jpg]This[/URL] which connects her to the computer's mainframe, letting her pilot the mech and constantly watching her vitals, also helps when fighting out of her mech, the suit is mainly to constantly keep her regular, especially when up in the atmosphere where there's less oxygen.

[B]Skills:[/B] Julia has Telekinesis, and can go into a Trance when piloting where her senses are enhanced greatly and her reaction speed increases greatly.

[B]Genetic Variation:[/B] Julia now has power over the Elements, and can transfer this power to anything, including her guns and Strike to give them an elemental type attack. The elements are the conventional type; Earth, Nature, Fire, Air, Lightning, Water, and Ice.

[B]Personality:[/B] Julia is a kind and caring person, able to get along with people easily. She's so cheerful people often say it's contagious because she can make sad people smile. She [i]does[/i] have a stubborn streak though and will work hard to get what she wants if she's determined to get it.

She's very active, fit and flexible because mech pilots need to keep themselves in peak condition, she likes to endorse in a number of activities, especially gymnastics, acrobatics, weaponry, martial arts, horse riding, and programming.

Julia's favourite past time is practising her activities, and particularly loves piloting Strike, just because it's an experience that not many people are actually priviledged to have. She has a unique bond with it and knows its metaframe off by heart, able to reprogram it in record speed. Strike only allows Julia to pilot it, though others are allowed to be in the cockpit or ride. Now she's out to stop Helena from destroying the world.

[B]Motivation:[/B] Julia's set out to stop Helena because she's destroying the world.

[B]Biography:[/B] Julia grunted lightly, forearms sweating and tensing as she raised her chin above the bar, slowly releasing to hang before repeating the action. She puffed as she sped up the tempo of her chin lifts, doing ten rapidly before slowing down again, swinging around the bar before releasing. She sighed, going over to the bench, picking up her towel to dry herself.

Suddenly the plate on her bracelet started beeping, and a tinny voice emitted from it.

[B]"Julia Valentine, suit up and get to Dark Strike's dock immediately."[/B]

Julia nodded, and shook her right wrist, the silver plate with her name engraved on it shone in the light. Everyone at the institute received a personalised one which was a comm-bracelet, so the owner could be accessed easily since they were supposed to wear it at all times, no matter what in case of an emergency.

Julia ran to her locker, pulling out a skin tight suit as she ducked into a stall, changing out of her clothes and into the suit before going to the suit section. The tech workers there checked her suit and passed it to her, aiding her into the stiff metal by opening areas to allow her to slide in. Once closed and sealed, practically disappearing, they wouldn't open unless the person in side released the locks. She held her helmet under her arm, thanking them as she quickly returned to the lockers, pulling out her guns and sliding them into the built in slots on her suit, then she ran to the bridge, her metal covered body clanking along the metal walkways.

She arrived, grinning at all the mechs that were lined up, but one in particular caught her eye, and that was Dark Strike, her personal mech that only [i]she[/i] was allowed to pilot. Julia ran across the ground to the giant creation's feet. She got onto the lift that was already prepared for her, it was an open creation, with a push of the button, the joints beneath extended, slowly lifting her upward until she was at the height of the open hatch on Dark's chest. She climbed in, watching as the techies rolled the contraption out of the way. She sat in the chair comfortably, resting for a few seconds before she jammed a finger into the red button that started up the machine, the cavity flooding with light, all the cameras over the giant machine activated, allowing her to have a 180 degree view as the hatch sealed itself, she gripped the controls, there were many all around her, being a complicated machine to control, which was why most people didn't want to try to touch it, since Julia knew everything about it, and it didn't react to anyone besides Julia.

[B]"All systems are go. Dark Strike and Julia Valentine, ready to go."[/B] she spoke normally, the microphone built into her helmet picking it up easily.

[B]"Roger that, Julia. Prepare to launch."[/B] a voice from the main control area replied through the helmet intercom.

Out of the cameras, she saw and heard the restraints that held Dark Strike move away, allowing movement. The large hatch above her opened, going straight up to the surface.

[B]"Launch when ready."[/B] the voice said.

[B]"Affirmative, Dark Strike, launching."[/B] Julia bent Dark's knees as she activated the boosters on its back, shooting straight up, leaving a streak behind her as they jetted up the tunnel, bursting out near the city, hatch closing behind them.

Dark flew into the sky, wing like mechanisms opening, in fact, they were extra weapons, called the DRAGOON system. She looked around, hovering as she searched for the enemy she was to face. Spotting another large mech that was currently marching around the centre of the city, causing destruction with every sword swipe.

Julia narrowed her eyes, diving in quickly and tackling the mech, lifting it into the air and throwing it so it was outside of the city. She flew after it swiftly, kicking in her boosters. She pulled out Dark Strike's twin light saber like weapons, turning into a spin and adding more boosters as she blazed past, flashing her blades, effectively cutting off the visual and main attack systems of the enemy mech, rendering it useless. The colour changed to red as it started to flash. Julia knew what was coming, she wasn't pleased but she couldn't stop it, all she could do was to protect the citizens of the city from the damage it would cause. She grabbed it quickly, pushing her boosters further than before, but not to maximum as she lifted it into the sky. The flashing became more rapid, meaning there was only seconds. She swung the mech around once, releasing it into the distance, watching it explode in the sky as broken parts showered from the sky into a forest.

[B]"Well done, Julia. Crisis averted. Return to base."[/B]

Julia confirmed that she had heard the message and flew back toward the return hatch which was just out of the city.[/COLOR]

[TheResplendent]

[size=1][b]Name[/b]: Adrian Braddack

[b]Age[/b]: 28

[b]Class/Job[/b]: Vanguard Commander of the military

[b]Weapon[/b]: Dual [URL=http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/6985/bkswordlc3.jpg]customized sabres[/URL] with guns built into the guards, capable of firing 2 rounds each. They are sheathed on both sides of his waist when not in use. He also has an extensive knowledge in man made explosives, and carries several types of grenades with him at all times.

[b]Appearance[/b]: [URL=http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/2482/adriantg5.jpg]Adrian[/URL] (minus the cig, Adrian does not smoke). His normal uniform is a an open black jacket with gold trim, with the insignia of his military and rank on his left chest area and right sleeve (4 gold stars over the flat end of a half circle of red and blue color standing for the military on his chest, red/blue/gold coat of arms with a sword through middle standing for Vanguard Commander on his sleeve). Underneathe the jacket, the basic jist for his attire can be seen [URL=http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/2418/uniformmv0.jpg]here[/URL] (minus the boots, replaced with normal length boots).

[b]Skills[/b]: An accomplished swordsman whose speed and movement in the fray is his best feature. He can fend for himself unarmed (especially with his new genetic variation) but is considered very lethal when wielding his sabres. His knowledge of explosives it top notch and is good at incorporating them into his techniques.

[b]Genetic Variation[/b]:

-Adrian has gained the ability of instant flash. This is the capability to leap/step from one area to another with superhuman speed. It is an excellent evasive and battle tactic and can easily be used to get somewhere much quicker then most vehicles and most certain normal walking.
-Adrian also has the ability to manifest fire throughout his body. It can be used to burn and incinerate enemies and he often coats his sabres with fire to make them more intimidating. This ability has consequences to the body however and weakens him with a great deal of excessive use. Adrian also will not be able to use instant flash when in this weakened state.


[b]Personality[/b]:

Adrian is the epitome of loyalty to those he cares for and those he served as a high ranking officer of the military in his time. He is a model leader and his position as Vanguard Commander is an example of his fearless nature. He will see things through to the end and often becomes quite passionate about his goals. He treats people with respect and expects to be treated with the same respect.

Adrian is known for susceptibility to lapses in judgement when overly emotional, but it does not happen often enough to effect his credability as a leader. Despite that, quitting and being regretful is not in his nature, though at first he will be reluctant to admit he's made a mistake. His charasmatic look with his orangish hair and eyes attracts a lot of attention, which he often ignores unless he is approached. Adrian is not known for random violent outbursts, but is extremely efficient in fighting and wastes no time with unnecessary movements or fanciness.

[b]Motivation[/b]: Adrian joined the military and accended the ranks for one simple reason, and that is his same reason for wanting to end Helena's terror. He wishes to make a difference in the world, to promote righteousness and peace for everyone. This is why Helena must be stopped, for she is the ultimate threat to our peace and our right to exist freely.

[b]Biography[/b]: Adrian joined the military at a very young age, and excelled through the ranks to become Vanguard Commander. It was his responsbility to lead the front lines into battles and hold nothing back. The scientist Helena of his reality worked closely in conjunction with the military for much of it's scientific conquests. Though he did not know her personally, they were both aware of each other's names because of their importance.

Braddack was among the guest of honors at the ceremony during Helena's unvailing of her new machine that would allow for dimensional travel. The presentation went haywire and the incident caused massive destruction to the surrounding area. Adrian tried his best to save as many of his men as he could but came out with a very little number. Managing to escape on some unharmed military airships with other officers and a number of soldiers under the 200 mark, Adrian was later informed by the Major General of the army that his wife had come to the base to suprise him after the ceremony. Adrian pleaded for the ship to be set down but there was no hope of finding any survivors in the debris after the incident came to a conclusion.

All 4 ships were brought down by an incredible change in the planet's gravitational pull. Nobody alive knew what was really going on, what Helena's experiment gone wrong was causing to their reality. The ships crashed and there were even fewer survivors. Knocked unconscious, Adrian did not wake until everything had settled down. He awoke within the debris, but to a slightly different atmosphere. Digging himself out he looked for other survivors, but anyone else had either been killed or had run a stray.

Upon taking whatever supplies he needed from whatever lasted through the crash, he set out toward the nearest signs of civiliation, which looked nothing like an organized town of any type. It seemed as if the world had regressed as well as transformed. Not 2 miles into his trek, he was attacked by a strange beast with giant horns and a spiked tail. It looked like a cyborg, with metal parts in several area of it's body...it stood nearly 30 feet tall. It was completely unfamiliar to Adrian, he tried to run but it was futile trying to get away from the beast. Coming close to death Adrian drew his sabres and tried desperatley to defend himself. His thoughts were simply on surviving at that point, and he first discovered his ability to move from place to place with incredible speed when dodging out of the way of being nearly stomped on. Adrian looked around him with shock wondering what had just happened. His thoughts focused even more and he found he could do it at will. It was not consistent running super speed, but speed for single steps and leaps.

He overcame the giant behemoth by using this instant flash ability to scale the beast and stab it's neck with both sabres, bring it crashing down to the ground. Since this incident Adrian has matured his ability and learned how to time it into perfect evasive and advancing tactics. His ability to manifest fire came after a burning sensation throughout his body, he feared death from exhaustion but after noticing his hand set ablaze, through very similar mental means he put it out because of his desire for it to do so. He matured that ability as well and made it a point to learn about what had happened. He continued searching for population, for answers...and for a new meaning to live...now that he had been bestowed new powers and a second chance at life. [/size]

[size=1]ooc: The bio is really crappy, i tried to fill up as much as i could but it turned out to be quite narrow. Hope it will suffice until i have the oppurtunity to explain in better detail throughout the RP once it starts. I may change this or that at a later time however.[/size]

[Darth Vectis]

[size=1][b]Name[/b]: Sarin Draven

[b]Age[/b]: 34

[b]Class/ Job[/b]: Weapons Master/ Mercenary

[b]Weapon[/b]: Being a Weapons Master, he specializes in every weapon. But predominantly he likes to use blades weapons, he has a wrist blade on each arm, each retractable and made of a light weight, yet, sturdy material. Extending to about 18 inches in length, and have jagged edges on both sides, even though they curve to look like a one sides weapon. He also has a special sword he carries with him every where, it doesn?t have any power, well, at least to Sarins knowledge it doesn?t.

Its single edged and is about a foot an a half long, with a snake working its way up the blade. He also has a gun attached to his belt, its seen its far share of battle and is a unique weapon. The gun is the form of a .44 Magnum, but instead of having a revolving chamber on it. It has a covering over that area, and instead of firing bullets, it shoots out red orb like projectiles that are made of energy. The gun has two setting: Stun and Kill.

He also has a quiet a few knives on his person, all hidden in different places, all made from different material, all shaped different and all serveing a different purpose at different times.

[b]Appearance[/b]: [URL=http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b18/Sagethefiend/TsubasaIIcopy.jpg] Sarin, the guy on the right with the red dragon on his back.[/URL] He wears a black blank shirt underneath the coat along with black pants. He also has a large tattoo that is made of an intricate design that snakes off in different directions. It starts on the front of his shoulder and works its way on to the back.

[b]Skills[/b]: Has a rather unqiue mastery of all weapons and fighting forms which took him years upon years to learn and perfect. Along with having rather unusually powerful senses and an abnormal awarness of everything around him at all times. Which make him and ideal tracker, hunter, and killer.

[b]Genetic Variation[/b]:

[I]Demons Arm:[/I] His right arm has turned black and is clawed, looking strikingly similar to the arm of demon. His arm is unique, besides the obvious look, by being able to detect evil when it draws close. It pulsates through out his body, and the pulsations grow more powerful as evil gets closer. They only stop when Sarin sees what evil it has detected.

[I]Brands of Dark Life:[/I] The Brands on Sarins arm seem to have a life of their own, slowly crawling up is arm and working up to his body, giving his tattoo a life of its own as well. Both continue to spread slowly across his body, while giving him a rather unpleasnt and intimidating look in battle and giving his natural strength and speed a boost but also making him crueler and ruthless as it goes unchecked.

They also flare and grow as he commits evil deeds, does selfish things, or enters battle. In that case the brands flare as the battle intensifies and only feed Sarins cruelty and ruthlessness.

[I]Demonic Sight: [/I]Sarin also has one demon eye, yes, one demon eye. And its his left eye, it also glows in the darkness with a red tinge and has a pupil that operates normal unless it closes up like a slit. But it serves more of a purpose then simply finding evil. It gives Sarin enhanced vision at night, like seeing the body heat radiate off another or to see the heartbeat of another.

[b]Personality[/b]: Sarin is a bit seasoned, scratch that, extremly seasoned when it comes to battle or his job, always alert and prepared never truly letting his guard down or really trusting anyone that he comes in contact with. He is observant and quiet, well, quiet when he believes it is necessary. Otherwise, he talks freely, not frightened at all of what others will think or say in response to his comments.

He is also not afraid to speak the truth whenever he can, very rarely will he lie for any reason at all unless he believes it necessary or it gets him what he needs. He also stays rational and cold in almost every situation, unless you can really get under his skin. It is also very rare to see him smile, maybe grin, but smiling is something he doesn?t do. He can also be very sadistic and cruel if given the chance and in the mood.

[b]Motivation[/b]: Simple, he?s being paid.

[b]Biography[/b]: Sarin rocked back in his chair, his eyes closed and his sunglasses hanging at the bridge of his nose. His coat hanging on a peg on the wall along with his sword swaying lightly back forth, his feet were perched on the table in front of him and he continued to rock in the chair. He breathed deeply and slowly in and out, trying to relax as best he could.

A man, about 5?8, wearing a trench coat and hood over his head. His face showed he was rather angry and had the look of man that had nothing to lose. He quietly moved into Sarins room and did his best to remain silent as he made his way to him. A knife held ready in his hand, ready to strike out at Sarin.

[b]?That?s not such a smart move.?[/b] The man stopped as Sarin lowered his feet and sat up straight, pulling off his sunglasses and setting them on the table in front of him. Sarin staring at the man standing before him, taking what he looked like and his facial expression. Seeing how few moves it would take to kill him.

[b]?Guessing by your face, and the knife in your hand. You have come to kill me, well, at least try.?[/b] The man spit at Sarins feet.

[b]?I will kill you. You took something dear to me.? [/b]Sarin sighed and stood up, towering over the man in front of him. But the cloaked man wouldn?t back down, even seeing the gun at Sarin?s side. Sarin leaned over, placing the palms of his hands on the table.

[b]?You know, you won?t walk out of here alive. I?ve survived far worse troubles, and I won?t be brought down by a whelp like you searching for revenge.?[/b] The mans face hardened and had the look of trying to restrain from crying, Sarin remain calm as the waited for the man in the cloak to make a mistake. And he did, lunging for Sarin recklessly, disregarding the table in front of him and who he was dealing with.

Sarin evaded easily and drew his gun at the same time, quickly switching the gun from kill to stun and pointing it at his head. The man lay sprawled over the table and on his back, Sarin held the gun in his face firmly, his face still emotionless.

[b]?Its set to stun right now. I could shoot you right now and then throw you out into the streets, and then you could live out the rest of your shattered life like the way you are now. Or, I can change the setting and kill you right away. Releasing you from your anguish and torment, and reuniting you with the person I was paid to kill.?[/b] The man watched as Sarins thumb was on the switch, deciding on whether he should kill the man in front of him. Or simply to let him live in shambles, right then, a knock came at the door, Sarin voiced for them to come in.

A man, with a gruff face that was covered in a unruly beard and seemed rather old but sturdy in build. He too was shorted then Sarin, Sarin kept his focus and his gun on the would be killer as he spoke to the bearded man.

[b]?How can I help you sir??

?I need you to do an important job for me, Weapons Master.?

?What?s the job??

?An assassination.?

?Who will I be killing?? [/b]The bearded man paused for a second, Sarin waited patiently as the man on the table was trying to construct a plan to get out of his current situation and kill the Weapons Master. The bearded man spoke in a harsher voice.

[b]?Helena.? [/b]Sarin let his focus go to the bearded man for a second, then back to the man on the table.

[b]?Helena you say??[/b] The bearded man nodded.

[b]?Or her lover. Both will pay the same, brought in together will get twice the reward.?[/b] Sarin nodded.

[b]?Sounds interesting. How much??

?500,000 for each.?[/b] Sarin moved away from the man on the table and looked to the other, holding out his free hand to him.

[b]?You have a deal.?[/b] The bearded man took it firmly and shook it, the man on the table got up quickly and charged Sarin. Sarin shot him right in the face, sending him to the ground motionless. The bearded man look at the body then to Sarin.

[b]?You kill him??

?Nah, still set to stun. He?ll wake up in about 4 hours.? [/b]Sarin moved over to his coat and sword, strapping his sword around his waist and putting his coat on he left the room. Eager to earn his cash reward, eager to elminate such a threat like Helena, and eager to put his past behind him and start a new future.[/SIZE]

[Orcus]

[SIZE=1][B]Name:[/B] Shin Blakehert

[B]Age:[/B] 18

[B]Class/ Job:[/B] [Experiment 59302] Secret Weapon of the Muchitsujo Army

[B]Weapon:[/B] Shin?s main weapons are his fists. Trained to be able to destroy any opponent using just his hands, no matter what weapon they may wield, this ability in itself is quite impressive. However, he does have a double-bladed katana that he fights with as well.

Dark Shin, however, summons a three-barell gun on command and wields that, though he has excellent hand-to-hand capabilities like when he's unchanged.

[B]Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/Reizou/Tsubasacopy.jpg]Shin [Standing Tall][/URL][URL=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/Reizou/DarkShin.jpg][Dark Shin][/URL]
Shin stands at 6?2??, and despite his seemingly lanky and bony structure, is quite well toned and muscular. His snow white-blonde hair falls short of his deep translucent
blue eyes in front, but falls to about mid-back behind him. His normal attire can be seen in his picture, though the black undershirt has an vermilion heart dead center of it, with a vermilion cross on both sides. This symbol can also be found on the backs of his gloves, the ring on his right hand, middle finger, and on the back of his jacket, all in the same color. This symbol was the symbol he chose for himself when he was admitted into the ranks of the Vermilion Crusaders as an emblem for the territories that would have been under his control.

[B]Skills:[/B] Hand to hand combat, swordsmanship, and combat with a pole-arms. Through vigorous training, Shin also has extreme dexterity, amazing evasiveness, and heightened senses. His speed is at least twice that of a normal person?s, and he is highly acrobatic. Dark Shin specializes in marksmenship.

[B]Genetic Variation:[/B]

[I]Gateway-[/I] Shin?s right arm was dramatically changed, though the visibility of his weapon depends on it?s form. In it?s dormant shape, it appears just like his arm would normally, save the dragon rune symbols that line it. When his restraints on his power are unlocked, it has 6 forms, one for every element, and then it?s true form. Each elemental arm basically takes on the attribute of that element and can control that element at will. The true form, however, manipulates pure energy and is spectacular to behold. Three spikes emerge from his hand, one from his middle finger, one from his thumb, and one from his pinky. They are two feet long, and come out at a 75 degree angle then jut into a 130 degree angle after a foot. His right arm attains gray-ish skin, and is metallic looking. His skin is there, but barely, for clear panels 3in. long span it, with only a 1 in. gap of skin between each panel. Inside of his arm is an orb of energy.

[I]Draconic Marks-[/I] Shin?s body was greatly changed as the worlds were merged. He acquired great dragon characteristics, some that are less visible than others. He has dragon eyes, and dragon runes line his face, his chest, and his back. His skin looks normal, but is as thick as dragon hide. The greatest change was the mighty dragon wings that were infused into his back. Though retractable, they itch when left inside.

[I]Manifestation of Darkness-[/I] Darker Shin now has his own being, and when he takes over, Shin's physical appearance changes. When he becomes "Dark Shin" his hair becomes jet black, though it raidates a crimson glow. His eyes turn crimson, and his features harden as well. His hands, as seen in the picture, become claws as well, and his fangs sharpen and grow in length.

[B]Personality:[/B] Shin is said to have two personalities. The more apparent Shin is charming, friendly, level-headed, and an all around good guy. He has an extremely strong sense of chivalry and compassion, often causing others to see him as naïve. He can be easily distracted by a plea of help, no matter who the plea may come from. Truth of the matter is, Shin, whether consciously or not, always has a firm grasp of all of his surroundings and knows when to expect potential danger. However, one would wonder what exactly could allow someone such as Shin to be admitted into the ranks of the mighty and ruthless Vermilion Crusaders.

That is where the ?other? Shin shines. Most of those who come into contact with Shin comment about the chill that runs down their spine when they gaze into Shin?s eyes at certain times. His beautiful eyes, though brimming with sorrow, are usually beautiful, but when the other presence becomes apparent? It?s said that Shin can look sinister. That he can look maniacal. That he can even look sadistic. Those eyes belong to Shin?s darker half, the half that has the 6 mightiest men in the northern continent respecting him. Though this demon is in fact Shin, it?s a by-product of Shin?s darkest emotions and military experimentation. Shin can choose to become like this at will, though if in battle and he loses focus, he?ll become ?Dark Shin? and there?s no telling when he may revert to his normal self.

[B]Motivation:[/B] Shin travels to make everything right in the world, and to save his mother from her own insanity. However, Shin knows Helena well, and he knows that there may be no way to reason with her. In which case, he?ll save her and the world the only way he knows how. He?ll kill his mother.

[B]Biography:[/B] Shin was born to Helena and Helena only. If he had a father, it?s unbeknownst to him, and his mother. Shin spent his childhood years in his mother?s laboratory as she performed experiment after experiment on Shin, muttering odd things under her breath, such as, [B]?This shouldn?t be possible?[/B]. Or even stranger, after looking over the results from the day, she would whisper, [B]?He shouldn?t be here? No man has ever been that close to me? At least not in this dimension??[/B] in a way that seemed like she was almost afraid to say it but she had no choice. One day, she finally quit her research and allowed Shin the privilege of living a normal childhood.

Between the ages of 6 and 10, Shin lived a normal life, and he grew into a vibrant boy. However, over the years his mother progressively began acting strangely. She would spend more and more time in her lab, until finally she her surfacing was a rarity. Strange sounds could be heard from the lab at all times, and Shin was too fearful of what may have been down there to check on his mother. He needed desperately to speak with her, though. Shin himself was exhibiting strange characteristics, including increased violence and frequent nightmares. Nightmares so bad in fact, that he would try and bypass sleep for days on end. When the struggle became too great and he passed into the world of sleep, he would often awake screaming, shaking, and sweating. This was only the beginning of his problems, though.

On his eleventh birthday, Muchitsujo?s military came to his house to speak with his mother. Shin had heard of them from the other kids at school. There was rumored to be no better army in the world, and Muchitsujo himself was rumored to be a mortal god. After 10 minutes, the military men told Shin that they would be taking him for an extended visit to their base, to help him with his ?problem?. Apparently his mother had been quite aware of the changes he was ensuing, and she had been struggling to find a cure. Every night she would take her son down to the labs and run tests, and the nightmares were a by-product of her trials. Driving herself near mad, she finally gave up, calling Muchitsujo so that he could either eliminate his ?impurities? or strengthen them. Shin was unaware at the time, though.

And thus progressed the next 8 years of his life. Rigorous training, painful experiment after painful experiment, and many sleepless nights were the basis of every day. He never lost his happy demeanor, but he proved himself more than useful time and time again in the training exercise and on the actual field. His skills were so impressive that Muchitsujo himself would often come and visit him, and even offered him a spot in the legendary Vermilion Crusaders at the young age of 16. He gladly accepted, knowing that it was a great honour to be admitted into their rank, and that he would even one day be able to rule. At the age of 18, he had proven himself so powerful, in fact, that they were prepared to offer Shin his own land. However, Shin declined at the time, saying there was something more important that he need take care of. Muchitsujo let him leave, and said the offer would still be standing when he returned.

Shin went back home after all those years to check on his mother. He would have gone back sooner, but after learning about what she had done to him, he could not bring himself to face her. However, he had finally grown past that, and he was ready to check up on his mother. When he got home, though, nothing was the same. Seven other people were living with his mother, odd characters at sight. When finally he was allowed to see his mom, she ran a chill up his spine. She was distant and disconnected, and her eyes were oddly reminiscent of Shin?s recently discovered ?darker? half. He learned of her plans to create a highly dangerous machine, and tried desperately to dissuade her. She would not here of it though, and after he persisted enough, she went into a wild rage and forced him out.

He went back to the military for one more year, rejoining the Vermilion Crusaders, but declining the offer for his own land. He didn?t feel worthy or prepared enough for such a large responsibility. He won various victories against the Zetsumei forces, and in one mission learned of their plans to break the code of conduct and launch a nuke on them. Further digging revealed that they hadn?t been the first, Muchitsujo had decided to initiate this break first. After learning of this, Shin quickly quit the Vermilion Crusaders and lived as a freelance mercenary, a job he had always despised but saw no way out of. One mission, however, proved worth it. He learned of the coordinates for the nuke. Upon discovering this, he rode home frantically with two of the other mercenaries on call, one being oddly familiar, not that it mattered at the time. But he couldn?t make it in enough time.[/size]

Name:[/B] ?Havok? [I][last & 1st name unknown][/I]

[B]Age:[/B] 38

[B]Class/ Job:[/B] Marksmen- [Captain in the Muchitsujo Army]

[B]Weapon:[/B] [URL=http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/5894/awesomeguncc9.png][Twin pistols] [/URL] [URL=http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/686/assultrifleaz7.png][Assault Rifle] [/URL]

[B]Appearance:[/B][URL=http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/8624/hacokai9.png] [B][Havok] [/B][/URL][URL=http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/8004/havokwelz7.png][B][Havok.1][/B][/URL]
Havok?s hair is void black, his skin is pale but his most unusual feature is his deep orange eyes; they look almost as if they are on fire. He has a scar running from above his left eye, down across his eye lid, ending at his cheek.

Havok usually wears a long black trench coat (sometimes brown); underneath he wears a light long sleeve white cotton shirt, (sometimes unbuttoned if his coat is). He wears black or brown pants with black heavy combat boots. His twin pistols are worn holstered on his hips and his rifle is usually slung across his chest or back.

Around his neck he wears a chain, hanging from which is a ring, the origin of which is only known to him.

[B]Skills:[/B] Havok specializes in firearms; he is able to wield any fire arm with ease, his personal preference being two modified hand guns and a rifle for the long shots. His most well developed skill is accuracy, being able to hit targets with his weapons while in flight. His eyes have an unusual ability to zoom in on things, like a bird. This furthers his level of accuracy when using his weapons and not.

He also has considerable skill with riding his motorbike, being able to perform insane stunts using his large wings.

[B]Genetic Variation:[/B] Havok has gained a pair of magnificent black feathered wings. His wing span is very long, longer than it needs to be to sustain flight. In the sun his pitch black feathers shine with a deep purple. His wings allow him to take flight instantly.

Long distances are not a problem as his large wing span allows him to easily glide on the smallest of wind currents and fight against the strongest. When not in flight he simply keeps his wings folded behind him.

[B]Personality:[/B] Havok?s soul is filed with sadness from what Helena has done, he loves her so dearly and deeply that his sorrow manifests its self as physical pain. He is a very quiet man and doesn?t smile much if at all; he can be quite serious and doesn?t easily see the humor in situations.

Havok loves nothing more than to sit and contemplate life but his thoughts always end up drifting to Helena. Havok?s attitude of late has turned rather nihilistic but he tries not to show it too much. Occasionally he may have a small fit where he will seem ?happy? but it?s usually nothing more than an attempt to regain the personality he once had.

[B]Motivation:[/B] Havok travels to stop Helena because he loves her so deeply that he can?t stand to watch her suffer the way she does, it brings him great pain to know what she is going though and not being able to help.

[B]Biography: [/B] Havok was born into a long line of high ranking military men. At the proper age he felt it his duty and honor to serve in the military like all his ancestors before him. It didn?t take Havok long to find his calling, he was a natural with a gun. Successfully, and easily, completing his marksmanship, Havok was quickly dispensed to the fighting, wherever that happened to be.

It was during a very difficult conflict, against some rebels, that he was awarded with an operational nickname that he would eventually use to replace his name completely. Ordered to one of the highest points on the battle field, he literally wreaked ?havoc? on the enemy.

It was during his time in the military that Havok became familiar with a lady scientist and her plans to build a machine capable of inter dimensional travel. Havok was given the chance to choose any detail he wished because of his services to the army. Surprising everyone who knew him, he opted to be assigned to protection duties; Havok was fatefully sent to keep watch on the very lab that Helena was working out of.

Havok was fed up with causing death after death, battle no longer gave him the rush it once did, he was given the rank captain and could have had his pick of any squad to command but chose a different path.

It was during this time that Havok became familiar with Helena?s work and what she was trying to achieve. Every moment he spent with her he became more and more addicted to her presence. Even though he thought it utterly insane that she was trying to build such an outrageous machine he supported her anyway, he fell in love.

Eventually Helena became accustom to his presence, and liked having him around, he would spend more time with her than he would on guard duty. Eventually, because of one moment of deeper understanding between the two, they became lovers.

Havok became utterly devoted to her but changes in the military quickly saw him back on the front lines. It was during this time away from here that she changed, Havok learned of the nuclear device headed for her lab and raced back to try and save her.

He was too late, as the bomb hit and a blinding flash engulfed his vehicle he didn?t feel death as he had expected, but an impossible pain coming from his back. It was so utterly intense he screamed out in agony, it was as if something was trying to rip out of him from the inside. Two bulges appeared from his back, tearing their way from the outside a pair of massive black wings burst forth in a spray of feathers and blood.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

Name: Kalria Selkes

Age: 29

Class: Elementalist

Weapon: A pair of bladed staffs

Appearance: Kalria stands well over six feet tall. She's often described as 'good-looking' or 'pretty', but only rarely is she described as 'beautiful'. She's in superb physical shape, and she works hard to keep herself that way. Looking at her, one can tell that messing with her would probably be a very bad idea.

Skills: Kalria is an Elementalist. Specifically, she is a 'Dual Elementalist', one who has powers of two diferent elements. Dual Elementalists are uncommon, but hardly unheard of. However, Kalria is different from most Dual Elementalists. First, most Dual Elementalists are not as strong in either of their elements as a standart Elementalist. Kalria, however, is just as strong, if not stronger, in both of her elements. But although this is unusual, it's hardly unique.

What makes Kalria unique is the fact that her two elements are fire and water. She is the first known Dual Elementalist to have powers of two opposing elements. There's a possibility that her stronger-than-usual powers are related to this unprecedented combination of elements. Also, this combination is almost certainly related to the... unpredictability of her powers.

Kalria's powers are not fully stable. The opposing nature of her two elements prevents a seamless combination of their powers within one individual. Because of this, Kalria's powers are in a state of flux. At one moment it may be dificult for her to use her water-based powers, and at another she may have trouble using her fire-based abilities. Sometimes she's unable to draw on enough energy to use specific abilities, such as the creation of fire or water.

The actual abilities Kalria has are pretty standard. She is able to manipulate and, to an extent, create fire and water in any form. Her fire powers allow her to sense heat, and she has a greater resistance to temperature extremes. Her water powers allow her to sense water in any form, as well as allow her to stay underwater longer than most people can (not indefinitely, though. She can stay under for a lot longer than most people, but she can't actually breath underwater).

Due to the instability of her powers, Kalria is not always able to use certain abilities. However, the conflicting nature of her powers does have a positive side. Sometimes, her powers will enter into a complimentary state, rather than an oppositional one. When this happens, Kalria's abilities are boosted far beyond their normal limits. And when she's in this state, people notice something... different about her. Nobody can articulate just what this difference is, bun almost everyone notices it. However, this state occurs randomly; it's not something Kalria can control. Also, the state usually lasts for only a short period of time.

Because of the somewhat unpredictable nature of Kalria's powers, she doesn't rely completely on them like some magic-users do. She is very skilled with her bladed staffs, and she is always sure to maintain her skill. Her weapons are the one thing that Kalria knows she will always have avalible.

Genetic Variation: Kalria gained increased sensitivity too all elements. Now, instead of being attuned only to fire and water, she is attuned to all elements. However, this does not mean that she has abilities of all elements. She's simply attuned to them, though she can manipulate them to a small extent. She can sense all elemental energies, giving her an unparalelled level of awareness of the world around her. She no longer has to see something to know that it's there.

Another effect is that Kalria now has some control over the internal conflict between her elementally opposed powers of fire and water. She can't control it completely, but she is able to influence the status of her conflicing powers. For example, she can draw one element ahead of the other, boosting her abilities of that element while weakening her abilities with the other. Or she can aid them in reaching their complementary state, and she can hold that state for longer periods of time.

Personality: Kalria is a hardened individual. She often comes across as cold and uncaring, but this is not an accrate impression. She simply surpresses them. She does what she believes is necessary, regardless of how she or anyone else feels. She's used to working alone, and prefers it to working as part of a group. However, she does recognize the advantages of a group, and is willing to be part of one when necessary. However, she tends not to engage in small talk, interacting with others only in relation to the task at hand.

Motivation: Kalria is going up against Helena for a very simple reason: she was hired to do so.

Biography: Kalria's childhood can be described in one word: ordinary. It was as she became older that she discovered her abilities and her unique combination of elemental abilities was revealed. She was trained to use her powers by a woman named Trea. Trea never did understand Kalria's... uniqueness, but she was quick to accept it. It was Trea who first told Kalria that it would be unwise to rely on her powers, as they were somewhat unpredictable.

While taking these lessons, Kalria became quite interested in the forces of the elements. Trea, who knew quite a bit about those forces, began teaching her more about them. Along with these lessons, she continues to learn about and develop her powers. However, Trea suggested that Kalria also learn how to fight with a weapon, as her powers were somewhat unpredictable.

At Trea's suggestion, Kalria began learning the art of weapon combat. Before long, she selected the bladed staff as her weapon of choice. Once she'd become skilled with one bladed staff, she began learning to fight with a pair. She quickly became a force to be reckoned with.

As an adult, Kalria found herself with only one marketable skill: fighting. She weighed various options, including a millitary career, but eventually tok the path of a mercenary. She quickly earned herself quite a reputation. She wasn't the best at stealth, but she could fight. She completed jobs that nobody else could. She demanded a high price, but she was among the very best, so those who hired her could be certain that she'd succeed in her tasks. It was because of her skill that she was approached about killing Helena. She knew that it was dangerous, but she was being offered enough money that she decided to accept. She's currently attempting to learn everything she can about Helena, thus making it easier for her to figure out a way to kill Helena.

[The Anonymous Usual]

[COLOR=Red][SIZE=1][B]Name:[/B] Atticus Crowe

[B]Age:[/B] 19

[B]Class/ Job:[/B] Chief of the Intelligence and Reconnaissance Division for the Northern Army.

[B]Weapon:[/B] In normal battle, Atticus wields two swords, however, he doesn?t always use both at the same time. Also, since his profession occasionally puts him into situations where ?diplomacy? is involved, or where there is a general necessity to lack obvious weapons, he secretes an assassin blade in each cuff of his sleeves below his wrists. These can either come out far enough to hold in his palms, or to throw. ([URL=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/Reizou/A_Knife.jpg]Blade[/URL])
[B]
Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/Reizou/ashurei.jpg]Atticus[/URL], and [URL=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/Reizou/cool_cool.jpg]This[/URL] is how his swords look (but this isn?t him).

[B]Skills:[/B] Gathering information, negotiation, and reconnaissance; other than these skills attained in his previous occupation, he is highly skilled in close-quarters combat, with weapons or bare-fisted.

[B]Genetic Variation:[/B]
[I]Vorpal Dash[/I]- This newly acquired technique allows Atticus to move across shorter distances at speeds untraceable by the human eye. This causes him to have a teleporting effect.

[I]Shadow Camouflage[/I]- This technique allows Atticus to ?melt? into the ground or wall as a shadow for short periods of time. This, needless to say, can be a very useful stealth tool or be of great advantage in combat.

[B]Personality:[/B] Atticus essentially has two sides. When he is with close friends and companions, or alone, he can be very laid-back and sociable. However, in the heat of battle he will become a merciless fighter. Emotionless, calm, and all about the task at hand. Possessing a strange, calm, even voice he wears a face void of feeling, so the enemy couldn?t possibly read his emotions.

[B]Motivation:[/B] After years of serving in the Northern Army he began to study the corruption within, not only the enemy?s government, but his own. Silently waiting for a chance, he takes his opportunity upon the discovery of the powerful Shin Blakehert?s dropping out of the Vermillion Crusaders. When they spoke, he found that there were even more powerful forces than the continents at work. Deciding to go AWOL, he joined Shin as a mercenary to try and save the world from being plunged into perpetual chaos.

[B]Biography:[/B]
Atticus sat alone in the dimly lit room. The walls were painted a standard plain white, with a certificate hanging off to the right of the desk. The blinds were drawn, casting an orange glow onto the black, wooden desk. There were file cabinets, book shelves and a counter that held a coffee maker that was only ever used to make tea. His chair was tipped back and he was resting his left hand on a saucer on his leg, while the other was holding a teacup to his lips. He breathed in the hot tea slowly and stared blankly into oblivion. [I]This conflict has gotten far out of anyone?s control. Not even divine intervention could save us now.[/I] His thoughts trailed off. Suddenly there was a knock at the door.

?You may enter.? He called with authority. A middle-aged man emerged with three folders of paperwork stacked on top of each other. Making a b-line for the desk, he marched with purpose towards his superior. Gently placing the folders on Atticus? desk he stood rigid, saluted, and with a wave of Atticus? hand, promptly left. Upon hearing the door click shut, the young man in his all-black uniform let his head fall and thump against the stack of paperwork. He raised his head, sighed, and brushed his snow-white hair from his eyes.

?I don?t have the time for this kind of crap,? he began, to himself. But was stopped when he opened the first file, and smiled, ?So, they are beginning to decay at the highest ranks. I always thought it was going to be the grunts that break first.? He spoke aloud as he looked at the photograph of the slender, fair-haired boy. [I]He?s only, what? Eight-teen? And he has already become stronger than me, surpassed me in rank, figured out this cruel system, and quit it all. He?s a damn role model. And how did this happen? He was biogenetically enhanced! Well, it?s sort of the same for me. Without this so-called enhancement. [/I]

Atticus looked up at a picture, framed in plain silver on his desk, next to the lamp. There was a man in a military uniform with his hand on a white-haired, four-teen year old boy. His father. He had taught him everything he would have to know to follow in his footsteps. How to use his wits and be resourceful, to be well beyond physically fit, to make quick decisions, and to take life without feeling. He was the former Chief of the Intelligence and Reconnaissance Division in Muchitsujo?s army. He was, however, killed in a bombing by Zetsumei?s soldiers earlier that year. Since Atticus? old man had given his son so much rigorous training, and had a great deal of influence around the higher-ups, the boy had a foot in the door which, coupled with some expert performances, led him to where he is right now, as the new Chief of Intel and Recon.

For some time now, Atticus had studied the movements of his government, in secret of course, and found that the corruptness in both his own, and his enemy?s governments would only grow. The slaughter would never end. Not ever.

?I must speak with this Shin. I?m sure we will find we have very much in common.? He mused to himself as he picked up the porcelain glass and finished the tea. Sliding his chair back and turning to take his white cloak off of the wall, buttoned it at the collar and headed for the door. For a moment he contemplated taking a sword, but felt the razor tips of his knives tucked inside of his cuffs. He smiled devilishly to himself as he hit the light switch and locked the door.

(Atticus becomes one of the two mercenaries who accompany Shin after finding and meeting with him.)[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[size=1]Wow!! It?s great that Parallel is back up?only under a slightly different name. How wonderful is this? ^_^.[/size]

[center][B]Name-[/B] Christiana Crenshaw [B]Age-[/B] 20 [The older twin] [B]Class/ Job-[/B] Medic [B]Appearance-[/B] Identical to her sister, [URL=http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/2610/spy5px.jpg][B]Christiana[/B][/URL] stands at 5?6? and weighs at 115 pounds. They both hold blue eyes- hers being a shade darker- and luscious blonde hair. The only difference is in their fashion style and Christiana?s hair falls to her shoulders in layers. As for clothing style, the older twin is found wearing boyish clothing that holds a hint of femininity. Its how most people distinguish between Adeline and Christiana. [B]Weapon-[/B] Christiana carries with her a [URL=http://www.gundirectory.com/guns/20038-1.jpg]Browning Hi-Power Mark III[/URL] 9mm handgun and steel-toed shoes. [B]Skills-[/B] The obvious of her skills is that she is a talented medic, always prepared for any situation that may come her way. However, the less obvious of her skills is that she has amazing perception. She can easily read someone or her environment which helps her in combat and in life, both of which she encounters almost every day. On a side note, Christiana also delved in a bit of martial arts; though not great at it, she manages in defending herself. [B]Genetic Variation-[/B] [Maj.] [i]Desperate Evolution:[/i] Used only as a last resort, Christiana and Adeline can combine into one super human wielding increased speed, heightened senses, and stronger combat skills by uttering the words, ?We are one, Come from one, Die as one, We are one.? This is the variation that takes a great toll on the twins, disabling them to move or defend themselves, for it only lasts a short time but uses up a lot of their energy. [Min.] [i]Unehrliche Mondschein [German- Corrupted Moonlight]:[/i] As its name suggests, this genetic variation allows Christiana to summon telekinetic-like powers. It is at its greatest when under the moon and is maxed out underneath a full moon; albeit the energy used depends on certain actions Christiana performs. [B]Personality-[/B] Of the Crenshaw twins, Christiana is more boyish and mature even though she has a girlish name. She doesn?t pride herself on her looks and skills but rather acknowledges them to be her own. Unlike her sister, Christiana is quite independent and looks out for her sister, whom she cares about and will protect in any situation. One of the Crenshaw attributes is that they?re stubborn but keeps an open mind about everything; Christiana is more stubborn than she is willing to let on which leads her to some strange situations. She is optimistic, warmhearted, and though she seems tough, she is truly gentle. One side of Christiana that many people have never seen is her ruthlessness, which coincidentally a part of her insecurity, her fear of trust and the fear of being alone in the world without people who care for her and understand her. Albeit, in consideration of her ruthlessness, there have only been a few incidents where she turned into a malicious person filled with rage and hate; those few incidents were protecting her sister- emotionally and physically- for in her life, there is no one else but Adeline and she would do anything to keep her safe which indicates the strong bond between the two. [B]Motivation-[/B] Other than keeping the world safe from a deranged doctor/sage, Christiana is disgusted at the way Helena?s behaving for there is nothing more that Christiana hates than people who take advantage of the lives around them. [B]Biography-[/B] Being a medic was not something Christiana saw herself doing; she enjoyed helping others but it just wasn?t the dream career she had. In fact, her parents had discovered the great benefits of being a medic and in result, [i]desired[/i] Christiana and her sister to become a medic. In her own opinion, she wasn?t cut out to be a medic even if she was intelligent and already helpful and kind; but, this was something Christiana couldn?t escape from even if she wanted to.

[Color=DarkBlue][Size=1][B]Name:[/B] Adeline Crenshaw

[B]Age:[/B] 20 [The Younger Twin]

[B]Class/ Job:[/B] Medic

[B]Weapon:[/B] A handgun and a switchblade

[B]Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/2610/spy5px.jpg]Here[/URL] Light blond hair and light blue eyes are Adeline?s gift. Always seen in the latest and sexiest fashion, it?s her distinguishing trait and trademark.

[b]Skills:[/b] A highly trained and skilled medic, Adeline excels in helping people on the battlefield.

[b]Genetic Variation:[/b]

[Maj.] Desperate Evolution ? Adeline and her sister, in times of great need, can utter the cantation, ?We are one, Come from one, Die as one, We are one? and if the conditions are right, they combine into one super fighting machine. Increased speed, higtened senses and stronger combat skills are the name of the game. It only last a short time though and when it ends, both women cannot move or defend themselves.

[Min.] Heilende Licht (Ger. Healing Light) Adeline can summon a beam of light that heals all wounds, at the price of her own energy.

[b]Personality:[/b] Adeline was always the more feminine of the twins. She was always more into fashion and boys. Even the way she talks reflects poise, grace and beauty. Nothing is ever out of place on her and everything has to be perfect.

[b]Motivation:[/b] Helena disgusts Adeline in her way of going about things. She could at least ask if they wanted to die first.
