Osiris

Name Osiris

Age 26
Race Angel
Sex Male
Hair Gold
Eyes Gold
Weight 102 kg
Height 1.95


Weapons

Luminattis Longsword with a decorated golden hilt into which is affixed a crystal of holy light

Laborvicta Round shield decorated with golden angelic designs


Armour

Defencastus Sacred armour consisting of a chest plate decorated with angelic designs, shin guards, gauntlets, shoulder guards and a winged helmet.


Strengths Being an angel, he has the ability to take to the skies using his wings. Though of considerable strenght, he has a light build which offeres him great agility. He also has several magic attacks attacks at his disposal, his innate element being light. Additionally, he can self-luminence at will.


Weaknesses Osiris tends to depend on light sources to rejuvinate his energy, so prolonged exposure to heavy darkness can weaken him. Light is necessary for him to recover in case of injury, and magical attacks consume his energy level, although his sword can store some light for future usage.


Skills/magic

Enlightenment Osiris' most basic ability, he uses his magic to generate light that can be used to assist viewing, and in more powerful versions even to detter enemies. The intensity of the light depends on the energy usage, which can change the ability from defensive to offensive.

Enduring Faith Infrequently used, this attack makes use of Osiris' energy to create a defensive dome of light from his shield. The light has trouble deflecting tangible attacks, but instead mainly focuses on stopping magical attacks. The stronger the attack, the more energy needs to be given to the shield in order to deflect it. For this reason it can quickly consume lots of energy, which is why Osiris avoids using it, preferring to evade attacks.

Salvation Pyre In his second most widely used ability, Osiris uses his magic to create and charge up golden orbs of light, which are subsequently launched at enemies. They have concussion effects and offer a wide splash area. The larger the size of the orb, the greater the strength of the attack. The energy used depends on the time taken to charge it. On average, the energy used to create it depends on the size of the orb.

Divine Edge This attack sees Osiris channelling his energy into his sword, producing a store of energy in the affixed jewel. The energy is then discharged in the form of a beam emitted from the blade. The strenght of the attack depends on the amount of energy channelled in the jewl. Although the area of effect of the attack is smaller, the attack is much stronger than the previous.

Judgement Day The most powerful attack available to Osiris. It can only be achieved when he finds himself in a very dire situation, where his last chance of victory is this attack. The angel musters all of his energy and dilutes portion of his strength and spirit into pure energy, until his body is brimming with stored energy. This takes much concentration and a long charging time. The attack takes the form of an immense, directed explosion of golden light, rattling the surroundings with a devastating concussion, and emitting alarming radiation levels. Usually, enemies are reduced to a cinder.


Personality Osiris is quite the prideful individual, his demeanour tending to be quite arrogant towards other races, especially towards humans. Quite possibly the best way to get into his good side is for a person to prove themselves to him, preferably through their skills as warrior or by having similar beliefs.

He has a deep resentment for the human race, largely due to his tragic history. Humans to him are greedy and corrupt creatures who are bent on sin and deceit. Being introverted, he is quite happy to be his own company and is often lost in his own thoughts. As a result, he is not particularly talkative unless it is to condemn, taunt or ridicule.

Locked deep inside of himself is the kind and caring person he once was, although it's something he very rarely allows to surface. In general, he tries to supress his emotions as much as possible, considering them a weakness. It's a rare occurance that his emotions will be allowed to surface.

He is not violent by nature unless he is extremely angered, at which point he is at risk of losing all control over his actions. Despite appearing quite the indifferent type, he greatly despises acts of evil and will courageously defend the innocent and those in need. Most of his aggression is directed towards occult beings and hellspawn, considering it his duty to eliminate them from existence.


Appearance Osiris is tall and well-built though he maintains a slim figure, he moves gracefully and almost silently. He wears a Greek/Roman battle suit, consisting of a breast plate with shoulder plates, gauntlets, shin guards, helmet and fringy leather below the breast plate. All metal is lumen and gold. Being an angel, he has two long and strong wings on his back for flight. He has neck long blond hair which hangs below his helmet, which he usually wears only during battle. His feet lie in sturdy leather boots. His sword is affixed to his side, his shield strapped to his back below his wings.


Biography Osiris was born out of the love between a male angel and a human female. His father was later lost in combat with evil forces, and his mother kept his identity a secret. On his fifteenth birthday, his wings started growing so she told him the truth and he set off to find his kin. Due to his coming of age, he was sensed by the angles. After several travels he was found by Anarchon who became his friend and mentor who took him to the kingdom of heaven. He began training as an angel and started gaining rank and proving himself. But he was allowed to return to earth every now and then to visit. In this way, by his twentieth birthday, a love grew between him and a human girl called Ellanda. Their love grew greatly until they were inseparable and Osiris tried to visit as often as he could. This continued for some years while he continued to gain rank and status. One day he returned home only to find his home ransacked and Ellanda killed by a gang of men present. He was gripped by great grief which turned into unstoppable anger. He killed the men present and destroyed their corpses, and went past several villages killing everyone in sight with blasts of fire, even his own mother. When his anger had subsided, he understood what he had done and felt great remorse. He tried to return to heaven but he was now exiled for killing innocent people. Ever since, he has been wandering through worlds, in search of something meaningful to spend his many eons of life doing.


Theme Song Powerslave - by Iron Maiden

Into the abyss I’ll fall - the eye of Horus
Into the eyes of the night - watching me go
Green is the cat’s eye that glows - in this temple
Enter the risen Osiris - risen again.

Tell me why I had to be a powerslave
I don’t wanna die, I’m a god, why can’t I live on?
When the life giver dies, all around is laid to waste.
And in my last hour,
I’m a slave to the power of death.

When I was living this lie - fear was my game
People would worship and fall - drop to their knees
So bring me the blood and red wine for the one to succeed me
For he is a man and a god - and he will die too.

Tell me why I had to be a powerslave
I don’t wanna die, I’m a god, why can’t I live on?
When the life giver dies, all around is laid to waste.
And in my last hour,
I’m a slave to the power of death.

Now I am cold but a ghost lives in my veins,
Silent the terror that reigned - marbled in stone
Shell of a man God preserved - a thousand ages
But open the gates of my hell - I will strike from the grave.

Tell me why I had to be a powerslave
I don’t wanna die, I’m a god, why can’t I live on?
When the life giver dies, all around is laid to waste.
And in my last hour,
I’m a slave to the power of death.

Valdaria

Name: Valdaria
Age: 29
Race: Vampire
Sex: Female
Hair: Long black
Eyes: Brownish red
Weight: 73kg
Height: 1.82m

Weapons:

Sword called Serpentine. It has a black blade with a silvery edge and is engraved with runes. The blade is serrated above the hilt, but the rest is sharp. Its hilt is also black, and in the shape of two coiled snakes, whose heads form the hand guard.

Leather whip. It has a leather handle, with a black metal spike at the bottom. The length of the whip is covered with a spiralling length of barbed wire along it.

Armour: None

Strengths: Fast-moving and agile, with a powerful build and stronger than most humans. Her reflexes are much faster than a human's, her 5 senses are much more attuned than a human's. She can use darkness to her advantage as cover. She is very skilful with whip and sword, can suck blood from opponents to gain strength and heal wounds.

Weaknesses: Has a strong distaste for bright light and tries to avoid it, but will not hesitate to fight if she has to. If she has not fed with blood for a while (a few days) she will be weakened. Because she is not a pure-blooded vampire, she lacks magical abilities.

Skills/Magic: None

Appearance: Valdaria wears a flowing black dress with a low v-cut neck which gives just a hint of cleavage. The dress is decorated with silver lace trimming along the neck cut, around the sleeves and around the base of the bell of the dress. The sleeves fan out at the wrists. Above the dress, she wears a black leather corset. She usually wears a black, hooded cloak, especially during daytime. Her sword is fastened to her right and the whip to her left. She is very beautiful (in an evil sort of way) and she has an imposing/intimidating figure. Her face is also beautiful (again in an evil way), slightly pale, with purple-black lips and black-shaded eyelids. Ah yes, she also has two long, intimidating canines in her mouth, for obvious reasons.

=CLICK=

Personality: She is completely pure… pure evil that is. She enjoys giving her victims slow and painful deaths. She absolutely loathes humans, and men especially of any race, because she considers them untrustworthy and traitors (see bio). She is aggressive in battle but likes to take her time, slowly torturing her opponent, before finishing him off, usually in a gruesome way, and then drinking their blood. She refuses to let herself feel afraid, she does not anger easily, but when she does her anger can be ferocious. Due to her character and her vampire personality, she is not exactly "sociable".

Biography: She was born in a Romanian village which was next to a forest, and her real name was Natasha. She had a happy childhood, and was raised by her loving parents. When she was 15 she fell in love with a boy of the village called Johan, and he too shared the same feelings. All was normal until her 17th birthday.

One night she was out by the forest. She felt she was being watched, and she was suddenly attacked by a vampire called Lucien, who drank her blood and left her to die, but not before giving her some of his blood. She was discovered by her family, who brought her home and began to care for her. She was in a coma for a few days, and after she awoke, she was very weak and could not eat anything. If they tried to feed her by force, she would vomit any food. She was mostly calm, but at times huge convulsions would grip her because of hunger, and she would utter heart-wrenching screams. Her family thought it a good idea to call Johan to comfort her, since he was very concerned. When they next checked on her, they found Natasha drinking blood from his throat and bringing him almost to death. At once they brought Johan away, and he survived, but was left lame and unable to speak properly, due to brain damage, for the rest of his life. Natasha’s parents could no longer find their daughter in her form, and the villagers afraid for theirs and their children’s safety demanded something to be done. Her father resulted in the decision to kill her, since her eyes were devoid of feeling. At the critical moment, he hesitated, he couldn’t get himself to do it, and let her go in the forest.

For a few months or so, she wandered in the forests, feeding on the blood of animals like deer, and she was with ragged clothes, living and feeding like a wild animal. Eventually she was found by the vampire who made her, Lucien. She was reluctant to follow him, but after he gave her human blood, which was more fulfilling than animal blood, she yielded and followed him. He took her in to the vampire community in a hidden cavern citadel, where he gave her clothes, a new name, and a home. She was trained in the abilities of vampires, and learned how to hunt humans, as well as sword fighting, all by Lucien, who was their leader. She eventually became a very skilled warrior, both with the sword and whip. This continued for three-four years, after which a relationship formed between them, and Lucien eventually took her as his wife, and they lived together for five years.

Eventually, rumours began to circulate amongst the vampires that Lucien had a relationship with another female vampire. This, of course, infuriated her, and she found them both, and after the truth was revealed, she got both of them and gave them slow, painful deaths, first the female whilst making Lucien watch, and then himself. The other vampires were horrified at the death of their leader, but none dared to confront her. Fed up with the whole secret citadel business, she left, living on the road, killing humans to feed, and terrorising small villages. She intends to go wherever she wants, and will not allow anyone to stay her path…

Introduction
The QGMS is a state-of-the-art technological marvel. It has the ability to allow its user to harness the elusive strength of gravity. Due to the instability of the process of gravitational control, the procedure is limited to small units such as these. Any larger and the device will fail, often with catastrophic results in the immediate area.

Technical Specification
Beneath the protective layer of the suit are arranged batteries of specialised plates which contain magnetically isolated anti-quarks. When a gravitational field is to be generated, the positron synthesis accelerator releases positrons which are channelled to the decay absorption battery. The positrons interact with the anti-quarks producing an oscillating nuclear field. This emits high energy gluons and bosons which are fed to the graviton generator. The generator sets up two separate gravitational fields in the wave transmitters, the gluons producing positive spin gravitons and the bosons producing negative spin gravitons or negative spin anti-gravitons depending on whether the Z or W bosons respectively were used. This produces two directional graviton beams of opposite spin which produce a gravitational effect where they intersect, attractive gravity if a Z boson is used or repulsive gravity if a W boson is used.

Energy Source
The device function depends on the positron energy source. By itself, the accelerator has only enough energy to carry out the most basic of gravitational field usage, and it draws but a minimum of energy from the fusion cell to recharge so as to preserve functionality of the combat suit. With these basic of abilities, the QGMS can achieve an average 0.6 to 1 G of gravitational energy, enough to allow standard self-preservation manoeuvres. A more efficient means of energy recharging though is the usage of nearby environmental energy sources. The stronger the source, the faster the energy can be refilled. The real capabilities of the device, however, become more lucid by using this energy to increase the released positron energy by charging the accelerator. The more energy used up by the accelerator in the process, the greater the strength of the field. This allows the QGMS to produce increasingly stronger gravitational fields which, however, can only be safely wielded up to a maximum of 10 G. Further energy release puts into compromise both the user and the immediate area at a 10 km radius.

Control
The bionic combat suit is neurologically linked to the body, allowing the user to control most of the functions at will. As regards the gravitational forces, they can controlled by sight alone, though it is preferable to control it by hand as the suit’s gloves function as data-gloves. The embedded artificial intelligence takes care of the graviton generation, requiring no external user input.

Abilities
Many uses arise in controlling gravitational fields. The user can maintain gravitational forces about his body so as to allow him to move effortlessly through the air. By translating fields across the surrounding area, heavy or unmanageable objects can be wielded at will. When dealing with an enemy, the gravitational effects can be used in offence by directly exerting gravitational forces upon the foe or by manipulating the environment around him.

Conclusion
The QGMS offers virtually boundless opportunities to a trained individual, enabling him to carry out previously unimaginable feats with high efficiency. Used by highly qualified units, it can become the tactical military asset that can spell the difference between winning and losing a war. It is a milestone in 23rd century warfare, set to emphasize the importance of technological superiority.

Appearance
Morpheus always wears his battle suit, owing to the fact that he cannot remove it by himself without permanently damaging his nervous system. The armour is a dark shade of indigo, segmented metal plating shaped in the image of his muscular system covering his entire body. The structural integrity is re-enforced in critical areas such as the chest, knee caps and elbows. His head is protected within an also armoured head gear which is completely rounded, the visor of which is computer controlled, displaying information, and analyzes the surroundings in great detail. His sword is sheathed in an embedded scabbard placed within the back of his suit.

Personality
Rarely speaking, he is extremely introverted, due to the fact that he has no memories of which to speak of. Usually avoidant of battles and confrontations, he seeks to find someone who knows of his past. Courageous in the face of adversity, he will not remain idle when someone is need. Avoids talking during a battle, except if he is forced to answer or if he feels someone knows something about him. Rooted with depression due to his state, he is seldom cheerful, and finds little purpose in his troubled existence.

Biography
Jodda Kazet was born on Earth on March 22nd 2271. Andus Kazet was his father, a rich interstellar merchant who for some reason preferred to live in the last pure parts of the polluted planet. His mother was Vanya Telazon, a prominent physicist and president of the Terrestrial Restoration Board which aimed to undo the damage the planet Earth had sustained by human activity. From a young age, Jodda was expected to continue in his father’s footsteps and uphold the trading federation he had founded. Jodda, however, was much more interested in science and space exploration, keen on following the direction of his mother, something that came in contradiction to his father’s ambitions. At the age of 19 he met who was to be the woman of his life, Anna Renan, which he swiftly fell in love with. To this matter, Jodda’s father once more intervened, expecting him to marry a woman of a wealthy family and thus preserve his father’s heritage. Having bolstered his confidence from this unsanctioned love, Jodda decided to carry out a complete rebellion against his father, by seeking a job as a militia unit for space-research corporations, seeing it as his only real route to bypass his father and be near to what he loved, space exploration and scientific research.

The Earth in 2295 was at a scientific peak. Quantum physics had long since been united with classical physics within the theory of everything, leading the scientific community in a frenzy of new inventions and expansive theories. Around this time, the newly reconstructed Biologic Space Laboratories, in which Jodda found employment, came across a previously undetected planet in the vast reaches of space. The planet was completely devoid of life, and its gravitational field lay in great disorder. Yet in some remote reaches of the planet they detected artificial constructions that could belong to one race – the Chozo. A remnant of the time when they were still infatuated with the pursuit of knowledge, this planet was filled with evidence of the Chozo trying to muster the forces of gravity. The labour of their research had apparently cost the life of the planet. But their knowledge on the subject was thoroughly extensive.

The under funded physics department of B.S.L. now had something with which to prove its worth. Within months, they had analysed all the information the Chozo had discovered, and used their own technology to replicate what the super civilisation had done so long ago. The experiments were a success. The research broke into two teams, one which aimed to look into the extent to which gravity could be controlled, and the other to investigate the tactical uses of such a technology. The latter began using fractures of the suit removed from Samus Aran during her near fatal X-parasite infection to produce an alloy that could be used to produce the energy needed to create gravitational fields.

Having collected all the information they required from the planet, the B.S.L. left for Earth, eager to gain worldwide acclaim on both the discovery of the Chozo planet and the subsequent research in gravitational manipulation. During the return trip, research and development on the gravitational suit progressed greatly and they began looking for candidates on which it would be tested. Most prominent to be considered was a B.S.L. attack unit commander, Captain Jodda Kazet. Meanwhile, research on the limits of gravitational energy also continued, with the secondary team designing a massive gravitational generator contained within magnetic fields.

Design of the QGMS integrated neuronal biologic combat suit having been completed, it was time for the unit to be tested. Codenamed Morpheus, Captain Kazet underwent the complicated task of wearing the suit and calibrating the neurological receptors, something that could only be done by the medical and engineering crew who designed it. The process was successful without any side effects, and preliminary testing proved the flawless functionality of the suit. The second stage of testing now involved activating the QGMS unit. Its usage proved successful, and it was tested in a large variety of simulated environments, from Earthen landscapes and Zebes terrain to zero G scenarios in space. Next step was to test the boundaries of the generated fields. Testing proved successful, but the medical crew was cautious of the strain on Kazet’s brain and body, and they only pushed the suit up to 8 G.

The second team had already surpassed this limit, their colossal generator creating fields in excess of 12 G. They were apparently reckless of the enormous strength they held trapped within the magnetic field, and compressing the field within the relatively small space of the generator greatly increased the potential energy. When they were about 253000 km from Earth, they decided to give a final test of both the suit and the generator. In Kazet’s great fortune, they opted for him to carry out another 0 G test now that the Earth’s gravity played some part in the unit’s functionality. Meanwhile, the generator team had decided to push their research to its limits, since they did not want risk human life on Earth. Forsaking any caution, they throttled the generator to its maximum yield, which maxed out at 22 G, a very powerful gravitational field. It drained so much energy that all other functions of the space station had been put to secondary importance.

It was in this critical situation that a micro-meteorite storm hit the station. The station’s shield should have sufficed to stop the meteors, but the fact that the energy was diverted to the gravitational generator meant that the shields were below optimal performance. Many meteorites collided on the vulnerable space station and before it could recover, power went out, and the magnetic field failed. The contained gravitational field spread out violently, gravitational waves rippling through the station and destroying it in a huge implosion. Being outside the station, Captain Kazet survived but went unconscious. To his luck, the implosion had flung him towards the Earth, and the AI of his suit, with its abundant stored energy, carried out the necessary gravitational manoeuvres to guide him towards the planet.

Nearing the Earth’s atmosphere, the Captain was still unconscious. The suit used up all its energy to enable him a safe re-entry by negating the Earth’s pull on him, and allowing him to reach the surface relatively slowly. Barely managing to save his life, the suit crashed him into a woodland area, several km from a nearby human city in the few remaining uncontaminated regions of the planet. His impact was still powerful enough to embed him into the ground, but the suit had prevented him from disintegrating during re-entry.

When the Captain awoke, he had no recollection of who he was or how he had come there. The only things that he knew were that the rare reflections of his face in his visor showed he had indigo eyes and short black hair. What he remembered from his past was one word: Morpheus. He took this word as his name, for Captain Jodda Kazet had been lost to his memories. Realising the immense power of it, however, he began to use it, though many of its functions were now unknown to him. His only instinct was to find out about his past, and discover who had given him this suit, which had now become a curse he could not get rid of by himself. Now, he scours the Earth to find his lost life and someone who can remove what is now an inseparable part of his body.

Tanya

Name: Tanya Smithson
Age: 22
Race: Human
Sex: Female
Hair: Orange with yellow highlights, neck length
Eyes: Blue
Weight: 75 kg
Height: 1.74 m

Perfume: Rock 'N Rose by Valentino

A fragrance for a Rose on the outside and a Rocker on the inside


Theme Song: The World Is Not Enough - Garbage


Weapons:

• 2x Glock 28 semi-automatic pistols, 19 bullet clips, laser sight and flash-light
• Titanium plated katana, with leather hilt and scabbard
• 8.5” tactical knife with leg holster
• 12 additional clips

Armour: Kevlar elbow-pads and shin-guards


Strengths: She is genetically enhanced, in an attempt to give her an edge over her opponents. Her senses are considerably heightened, allowing her an advanced perception of her environment. Her enhancements also allow for faster brain processing, allowing faster reflexes and superior thinking abilities, which allow her to assess any situation and find the best course of action. Her light build allows her great agility, which he can use for dodging, fighting and overpowering slow opponents. Her greatest trait, however, is her ability with her pistols. She has mastered their use, aiming and reloading are like breathing to her, and her enhanced aim rarely falls short of its target. She also has considerable skill with her katana, which she wields for close combat. If necessary, she can also use her knife. She is also very stealthy, something which she has attained for infiltrating enemy locations and passing by unnoticed, pivotal abilities in her work.


Weaknesses: She has not reached the same mastery of the katana as she has of her pistols, so she may be caught at a disadvantage if she is at close range combat with a superior swordsman. Due to her advanced abilities, her brain tissue is much more sensitive to extreme heat and cold than a normal human. Due to her main weapon being a firearm, she must be wary with her ammo usage.


Appearance: Her face is attractive, although it appears cute rather than beautiful, with a small nose and bright, sparkling eyes. Her hair is a wavy orange with yellow highlights, and falls down to her neck. She wears a sleeveless purple vinyl zip-up jumpsuit with the leggings of a short-short, with a white stripe going down each side. She has a black belt with an aluminium buckle, on which are fastened holsters for each pistol and slots for the additional ammo clips. Her sword scabbard is fastened to the middle of her back, vertically. Her knife is attached to her right ankle. She wears military-issue, black and blue leather boots. Her overall appearance is very attractive, and frequently unnerves her male colleagues.

=CLICK=


Personality: She is a very open person, not afraid to speak up, both to befriend and joke, as well as to react if wronged. She is not one to lie in the background, she will make herself known and heard to everybody. However, she never loses her cool. She is very obedient to her superiors. In assignments, she is completely absorbed with her thought process and actions, always alert of her environment and furious in battle. She is highly disciplined to her superiors, but underneath it all lays a playful personality. She also seeks adrenaline, being a person of action and activity, never lazy or lethargic.


Biography: In 2021, Tanya was created artificially as the product of the U.S. Human Enhancement Program, under the geneticist Dr. Jonas Smithson. As a result, Tanya never knew her biological parents. But she was taken in by Dr. Smithson who gave her the name Tanya and his surname. The young Tanya was a happy child, and was the pride of the scientific team, both as their achievement and their child. Her childhood was happy, and as the scientists conducted experiments to test her abilities, she showed advanced logic, reasoning and mathematical abilities from age four. These happy days soon came to an end though, as the now twelve year old Tanya was taken by the CIA to begin training. The scientists, as well as Tanya, were saddened, but there was nothing Dr. Smithson could do, so they parted ways.

In the CIA, Tanya was reluctant to her new life, but as she began her rigorous training, she found this to fulfil her. Training became her life, and the CIA training grounds her home. As time passed, her physical and mental abilities greatly grew, she was in perfect shape and form, had advanced knowledge of mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, computing and psychology, she was trained in stealth, martial arts, explosives, weapon handling, survival skills and vehicle control and gained an expansive knowledge of persons, organisations, terrorist groups and other information. The CIA was very surprised that she absorbed and remembered this knowledge, almost like a computer, but they were more pleased than surprised. At fifteen she learned news of her father’s death, and though she was devastated for a while, she continued her training with renewed effort, wanting to make him proud.

At age 19, she had completed her training, scoring highest than any other trainee in CIA history. Much to the jealousy of other agents, she was entered in the CIA, with an immediate rank reserved for “gifted” agents. This time was one of crises; it was the Oil War, where the world superpowers were battling over the lat remaining diminishing sources of oil in the world, which could pivot the world power balance, so it was time for the CIA to test its major asset. She didn’t take part in military operations, but was assigned to several spying, infiltration and hostage scenarios, where she single-handedly completed, with her now famous traits of professionalism, efficiency and determination. Her abilities become renown within the CIA, and she was admitted as the best field agent.

At 22 now, the Oil War is over, so she is living more relaxed life. But being an adrenaline junkie, she is always on the lookout for assignments, mostly for criminal organisations, foreign terrorist groups and the occasional intelligence/reconnaissance mission.

Descartes

Name: Descartes
Age: 28
Race: Vampire
Sex: Male
Hair: Straight black hair with dark purple streaks, neck-length
Eyes: Dark purple
Weight: 88 kg
Height: 1.92 m


Weapon

Descartes' weapon of choice is a very ornate gunblade, consisting of a workable revolver fused with a blade. It can be used both as a medium range and melee weapon, even though he seldom uses the weapon’s projectile capabilities.

Approximate structural appearance


Skills/Magic

Ardeur

Descartes comes from a bloodline of vampires who have inherent powers related to love, sex and seduction. They can easily incite lust and desire in others, inspire love and devotion from them, and even turn them into an ideal lover. The effects of these abilities can be very addictive. The downside is that the Ardeur needs to "feed" through this ability at regular intervals, as it is almost a physical need which needs to be satisfied. If the vampire does not use the power for some time, it starts forcing him to use it, with the risk of leading to a "sex-craze" if left unheeded for too long. Furthermore, if the power is used carelessly, there is a risk that it will work simultaneously both on the user and the person on whom the power is used.

Seduce: The most basic of the Ardeur abilities, Descartes can easily seduce females and bend their will to his advantage. It's use is not just a supernatural mental ability and inherent allure, it also requires a conscious physical effort from him in the form of extreme courtesy, graceful flirt, sweet-talk and intimacy.

Inflame: When his target has succumbed to his seduction, Descartes can take his abilities to the next level, and incite lust and desire in them, leading to almost unquenchable passion. At this point, it is almost assured that the target will give in to their urges and be willing to consummate.

Adhere: This ability can be used on individuals whom he has managed to seduce heavily, especially after mating with them. It allows him to inspire love and affection towards him, often tethering them romantically to himself. Once under the influence of this ability, his targets show great emotional devotion to him.

Love-bite: Most vampires are able to transform the pain of their bite into pleasure. The Ardeur abilities, however, take this a step further. When his target has been consumed by desire, Descartes has the ability to make his bite literally orgasmic. He can also induce flashbacks of previous orgasms recieved by his bites, thus amplifying the pleasure even more. This ability is extremely addictive


Helix

Descartes also has the power to exercise control over plant life. He can accelerate and even induce plant growth, or he can cause them to rot and decay. Another ability is to spontaneously grow flowers and other small plants in his own hands out of thin air, something which can be used in collaboration with his Ardeur abilities. Lastly, he can summon vines to use as he pleases, whether in combat or non-threatening situations.



Strengths

Being a vampire, Descartes has the powers commonly assosciated with them, such as being very fast and agile, stronger than the average human and the ability to teleport short distances. Furthermore, he is resilient to injury and can heal much faster than an ordinary human. Due to his abilities, he has amazing powers of charm and seduction which can give him quite a lot of power over people, particularly women.


Weaknesses

Like all vampires, he has a strong dislike for bright light, its presence weakening him greatly and even causing him harm. He is also sensitive to items commonly considered damaging to vampires, such as crucifixes, silver, wooden stakes and holy water. Furthermore, he is also susceptible to holy energy. He also needs to feed on blood regularly to maintain himself. His unique abilities also bring out a weakness of their own, because they need to be used regularly for him to be able to control his urges.



Appearance

Descartes has a rather small face with a sharp chin and prominent cheek-bones, his large eyes a rich, dark purple and his thin lips a light pink in colour. He usually wears black eye-shadow around his eyes. His purple-black hair flows evenly in all directions with no visible parting, a miltitude of long straight bangs framing the sides of his face whle the rest is combed back behind his ears. Nevertheless, it is not bound and strands of hair elegantly dance around his head at the slightest hint of wind.

He is tall and well-built, although not overtly muscular, being slender rather than bulky. He has a tattoo of a thorny rose stem wrapping around his right arm and going from his shoulder down to his wrist. He wears a black, sleeve-less shirt with dark grey tribal designs, and matching black pants, supported by a black leather belt. His choice of footwear is a pair of black army-style leather boots. Above that he wears a black trench-coat with dark purple trimming along the outer rim of the coat.



Personality

Descartes is extremely charming and courteous, using politeness and graceful speech to win over his audience. However, he is a very fiesty personality, engaging in playful flirt and courtship with females and not afraid to get affectionate. Nevertheless, he never forces a woman to do something with him, but instead tries to win over their trust and approval before moving further.

Descartes is very laid back and relaxed, casting away any and all worries and living for the moment. He lives to win over female hearts and give out affection, and he has often been described as the perfect lover, leaving no woman unfulfilled. However, he has never settled for any woman in particular, and it is a mystery which woman can win over his heart.

He's generally easy-going and fun-loving, sometimes taking unnecessary risks just for the heck of it. He has great distaste for any type of violence, unless of course it is consensual sexual violence, and will try to avoid conflict as much as possible. Contrary to what one may think, he is actually quite sensitive and caring deep down, although few people ever get to see that side of him.



Biography

Descartes, or more accurately Jean-Luc Descartes was originally born into a poor family in the suburbs of Paris, France. His childhood was anything but happy, his father a drunkard and his mother a constantly disoriented woman, barely aware of her son's existence. He struggled through school, barely making any friends. He was very shy and had a bad case of stuttering, so he was usually ignored, especially by girls. He was almost constantly depressed and tried to slit his wrists a few times, but always fainted at the first sign of blood.

Despite his pitiful existence, he had managed to develop a skill with painting, which was one of the very few things that kept him alive. He was forced to steal money from his father to fund his hobby, at the risk of being beaten to a pulp if discovered, and always painted in secret. When he finished school at eighteen, he gathered his art supplies and left home with the clothes on his back and an apple for the road. His father was more than pleased to see him gone.

He tried to make a living on the streets by selling his paintings on the many boulevards of Paris, but he rarely made many earnings, only barely enough to get him a loaf of bread and often-times not even that. Occasionally he made enough for a proper meal, but it was only rarely. Having nowhere to stay, he slept on the streets and parks, often running into trouble with the police and even getting beaten up. Even through these harsh conditions, his abilities grew and he aspired to attend one of Paris' prestigious art schools.

However, you need money to join these schools, and he wasn't exactly over-flowing with cash. It had been a little over a year since he had started living on the streets, and he decided that he should start saving money if he wanted to make something of himself. He worked day and night, fine-tuning his painting skills and selling as many paintings as he could, saving most of the money even if it meant he would go hungry for a few days. This continued for a period of five years, until he had enough savings to attend one of the schools.

All his customers were typically ordinary and uninteresting people. One day, close to dusk, a French lady dressed in a flowing red dress and who appeared to be in her mid-forties showed up where he exhibited his art. The blonde woman was simply beautiful, with a pale complexion and a small mole at the corner of her mouth, twirling a delicate red umbrella over her. She seemed genuinely interested in the young man's art, scrutinising over each of his works, yet she bought none. Not even giving her name, she flashed him a satisfied smile and walked off.

After five long years of deprivation and saving up money, he finally had the necessary amount to enrol in one of the great art academies. On the eve of the achievement of his goal however, he was to fall prey to ill luck. For that very same night he was attacked by a lowly gang of local thieves and robbed of all his savings, the fiends leaving him behind badly beaten up. The young man was completely devastated; he had lost the only tether keeping him latched onto life. On the verge of despair and his mind in a daze, he took to the streets.

Eventually, he found himself upon one of the grand bridges of Paris, standing by the stone restraint and looking down at the dark waters of the River Seine. His life seemed to have no purpose; he had no home, no money, no food and nobody to care whether he lived or died. Climbing onto the ledge and balancing precariously upon it, he looked at the murky depths far below him. All he had to do was take a single step and it would all be over.

Seemingly out of nowhere, an ornately decorated carriage pulled up next to him. The driver informed him that his mistress was willing to offer to pay for his tuition at any art school of his choice, provided he agreed to paint for her. Still standing on the ledge, he was almost at a loss for words. Where he was just about to take his own life, an unlikely opportunity had just presented itself to him. Looking back at the flowing waters, he suddenly became very aware of his mortality and quickly removed himself from his dangerous perch. This was another chance at life, and he was most definitely taking it. Walking over to the carriage, he stepped inside.

The carriage pulled up before a grandiose mansion as the first rays of light began to appear in the horizon. Stepping out of the carriage, he headed towards the mansion doors. He did not meet his mistress at the door, as he had expected, but he met with her in the depths of her mansion instead. Much to Jean-Luc's surprise, his employer was the French lady who had looked at his work not so long ago. The woman introduced herself as Antoinette de Rousseau.

She proposed to offer him accommodation until the completion of her portrait, after which he would receive the money for his tuition, an offer which the artist gladly accepted. When the work was completed however, she requested yet another portrait of herself. This perplexed him, but considering his future rested solely in her hands, he had no choice but to comply. When work on the third portrait began, he began to get suspicious of her intentions, even though he was not particularly bothered by the delay..

The portrait requests continued, each time her clothing more revealing and her pose more seductive. Deep inside his heart, he gradually began to lust for her more than he ever had for any woman before. It was as if these desires were being channelled into his thoughts by some unseen force. He had almost completely forgotten his goal of attending one of the art schools, seduced by his employer's beauty and the luxuries she offered him. The portraits continued his feelings for her ever growing, until she asked him to create a nude piece of her.

Although extremely nervous and his shyness almost overwhelming, he agreed to it and started work, the Lady posing for him. To his utter surprise, she began to actively attempt to seduce him while he painted. All thoughts except of her seemed to leave his mind, and he found himself completely at the mercy of her advances. An intense desire then took ahold of him, and he quickly found himself making love with her, even though he had never even been remotely close to a woman before. During their encounter, the Lady did something our artist would never have expected. She moved her mouth close to his neck and sunk two fangs into him, drinking his blood and sending waves of pleasure through him. The Lady was actually a vampire, and during her feeding off of him, she intentionally turned him into one as well.

Thus the person known as Jean-Luc Descartes was born again as a vampire, inheriting the abilities of his mistress' bloodline: powers over love and seduction. He abandoned his first name and identified himself solely by surname: Descartes. The Lady Antoinette became something much more than a lover to him; she was almost a mother figure who he adored completely and without constraint. Living with her, he became fascinated with the way she went about feeding. Unlike most vampires, she detested violence and refused to go on "feeding hunts". Instead, she used her powers of charm and seduction to form relationships with human lovers who offered her blood voluntarily. Descartes was dependant on her group until he learned how to control his powers, after which he formed his own circle of relationships. Even so, the main recipient of his affections was always Antoinette herself.

He remained in her warm embrace for three years, at which point he decided that there was so much out there he had yet to experience. The Lady wasn't happy to see him go, he was something dear to her who was able to heal her loneliness, but she understood all too well what he felt. So she told him he was always welcome to her mansion should he return, offered him an ornate gunblade to remember her by, and gave him a passionate french-kiss to see him off.

Larena

Name: Larena Fanaren (La-ray-na Fa-nah-ren)
Nickname: Rainbow Eyes

Age: 24
Race: Elven
Sex: Female
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Rainbow
Weight: 67 kg
Height: 1.92 m

Theme Song: Rainbow Eyes - by Rainbow


Weapons:

Steel rapier with silver hilt, 94 cm


Strengths:

Having considerable skill with the rapier, she can easily defend herself in an attack. Being quite athletic, she is nimble on her feet, giving her a graceful agility, a significant advantage in battle. Her heavy money pouch always at hand gives her quite a leverage in any situation, and means that she can just about afford anything. She has an adamant willpower that allows her to put her mind to doing anything she needs to and stand up to anyone posing a threat or defiance. Another attribute she has no fear of using to her advantage is her beauty, but never in a wanton way, mainly because she would loath to be reduced to an object in other's eyes.


Weaknesses:

Though trained in the art of swordmanship, she has no battling experience beyond sparring matches, therefore a skilled and experienced warrior could overpower her. She may be the adventurous type, but her aristocratic upbringing has meant that she has come to rely on a warm bed and food being available whenever she requires them, thus if she finds herself deprived of such comforts she might find it difficult to cope. The fact that she has no real armour and that her clothes give minimal protection, a weapon attack could cause her significant damage. Her weapon being a rapier also offers her reduced defensive capabilities, especially against a heavier blade.


Skills:

She is a skilled dancer, knowledgeable and practiced in most popular court dances, including some human ones. Putting her rapier skills to good use, she is a seasoned participant in sporting events of swordplay. She is fluent in many languages, particularly in the Elven tongues, including several human languages and a few dwarven dialects. Having taken horse-riding lessons from a small age, she is now an accomplished rider.


Appearance:

Personality:

Larena is not one to hold back, she displays a dynamic personality that causes others to either build up great respect for her or distance themselves from her. The fact that she tends to display a certain arrogance on occasion, due to her royal heritage and Elven identity, usually calls for the latter. She displays a caustic, English-wit humour which permeates her thoughts and speech. She also usually enjoys giving a playful teasing to everyone she meets. Sometimes she tends to be somewhat hot-headed and take insult easily, but only with people she does not know well. It is difficult to discern what she makes of others, due to the fact that she masks most of her personal thoughts behind a tough exterior. She enjoys listening to slow, melodic music, which is probably one of the few times her emotions are plainly apparent. Quite the social type, she easily engages in conversation and is able to hold her ground in any debate. She is generally quite active and lively, though she occasionaly enjoys drifting away and relaxing in peace.

She is also the flirtatious type, engaging in courtship whenever given the opportunity, usually in a playful or teasing manner. At this point it should also be noted that Larena is bisexual, meaning that she feels an attraction to both males and females, even though this tendency doesn't surface very often. In other words, there is only a select group of females that she would feel any sort of attraction to. She is in actuality indifferent to men seeing as she's been in a lot of relationships, viewing them more as a hobby of sorts. As a result, her very few relationships with the same gender have been generally more meaningful than her relationships with men. Also, although she would never admit it, she is quite a sucker for compliments.

Another peculiar aspect of her personality is her love of good cuisine, indulging shamelessly in all sorts of dishes and never fearing to make her enjoyment audible. Whenever questioned on how she manages to maintain her figure, she attributes it to an undisclosed secret.

She is confident in her sword-wielding abilities, and though she is arguably not experienced, she will attempt to defend herself, though she may be somewhat uncomfortable with the idea of killing.


History:

Larena was born in the elvish city-state of Alduren, her father being the ruler of the city, her mother tragically dying whilst giving birth to her. Alduren was nestled amidst a gentle ravine, adorned with lush and bountiful temperate vegetation, with a shallow stream coursing along it, dotted with numerous waterfalls. At the very heart of the city, the ravine is bordered by tall cliffs which prevent any invading rmies from flanking the defences. Moving further downstream, the cliffs fall steadily in height, until they merge with the ravine and proceed to form a wide valley. Moving upstream the elevation rises, leading to sharp inclines and cooler temperatures, until the cliffs merge with the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

As a young girl, she was usually shy and reserved, particularly in the presence of elders, and especially her father. Her bond with him was a strange one, a mix of both love and fear, coupled with a sense of wonder. For her childish self however, he was the world. Even so, when she was on her own, away from the conformity of aristocracy, she was fearless, never holding back. Brave and adventurous, she found herself exploring and playing in the beautiful land of her father, usually in the company of boys. As a result, she was mostly a tomboy, having little to do with the other timid girls her age. She had a happy, carefree childhood, but she was also tutored in various subjects ranging from ancient runes to horse-riding, so she also grew up with a formidable education.

Reaching puberty, Larena found it difficult to adjust. She was so accustomed to the presence of boys, that she did not feel anything in particular towards them. And her closest male friends were also so used to playing with her, that they didn't develop any feelings for her. However, as she began to assume the beauty of her mother, other boys who did not know her so well started showing an interest in her, something which only made her feel awkward and confused. As she began coming of age, her best friends started getting girlfriends and spending less and less time with her, and she began to feel left out and unwanted.

Maybe that's why her first true love happened to be another girl. Her name was Taenuviel, although Larena preferred calling her Tae for short. At first, Larena felt very awkward around her, even to the point of shyness. But as she let her affections start to show, she was amazed to see that they were returned. Their relationship grew until Larena realised that she was falling in love with Tae, so she decided to let her feelings for her out into the open. Much to Larena's joy, Tae returned the feelings, and they became a couple, even though they kept the relationship a secret from most people, especially her father. For the first time in a long time, Larena felt happy.

As she reached early adulthood however, she began to be assailed by countless suitors seeking her hand in marriage, most of them eager to lay a hand on the heirdom of her father's throne. Much to her father's puzzlement and even annoyance, she rejected any and all offers. She loved Tae with all her heart, and would allow nothing to come between them. However, something happened which she did not expect. Lured by the prospect of wealth and power and motivated by lust, Tae started an affair with a young elven noble from another kingdom behind Larena's back, leading up to a marriage proposal.

Tae broke the news to Larena in the most blunt way imaginable the day before she left with the noble. She said how Larena had only been a mere pass-time for her all this time, and that she was deluded if she believed that Tae would have settled for her. She wasn't about to give up everything for Larena. Concluding her speech, she abandoned an extremely shocked and heart-broken Larena, and left with her would-be husband. Larena was simply devastated. She spent three days locked up in her room, barely eating and crying almost constantly. Her naivety had cost her greately, and now she could find no solace. In the end, she picked up the pieces of her broken heart and vowed to never let herself get hurt like that again.

And from this experience came a new Larena, who had no qualms with flirting with the opposite sex. She used the steady stream of suitors which continued to prey upon her as a chance to become acquinted with being in relationships with men, forming several different ones but never actually considering a serious future with any of them. Needless to say, there were also a few females again with whom she had brief relationships with, and even though they were in general more meaningful, they were, too, not with much forseeable future.

Larena eventualy became disenchanted with her constricted life within Alduren and the constant stream of short-lived relationships with boring people, her instinct of adventure driving her to explore the outlying world and see what it has to offer. Much to her father's dismay, she confronted him and let him know of her wishes to leave Alduren. Her father was eager on marrying her off to one of the suitors and securing a heir to the throne, but Larena would hear nothing of it, putting her foot down before him for perhaps the first time in her life. In the end, her father could do nothing but give her his wishes and hope for her safe return some day. So Larena gathered a few belongings, her beloved rapier, and a large sum of gold, and set forth to see what lay beyond Alduren.
