    introduce yourself here. But first read the rules

    Alright guys. It’s great being special, I know. And being in a roleplay means you can be SUPER special. But you’re playing with other people, remember?

    If you want to be a cynical lone wolf, that’s fine. Feel free to sulk and bemoan your tragic orphaned, social outcast past ALL you want. But you are making it hard for other people to befriend you.

    And I know it feels great to swoop in with godlike powers and beat down every enemy in the battlefield, but maybe, just maybe, the other people wanted a chance to shine too?

    And finally, running around trying to flirt with and charm every person ever is ok. It’s a valid character type! But if you’re so lonely and horny that you get mad when people on the Internet don’t find your character completely enchanting? Well, maybe you should search for that kind of validation OUTSIDE this community.

    So be a team player, and try to think about other people’s feelings too. We’re all in this together after all.

    Now that that’s done! Feel free to post a bio including everything we need to know about your character!

    Selena, a young were snow leopard slave living in the Arena. She has the ability to control air, but it has been greatly limited by the King’s Warlocks by a collar around her neck that also keeps her from taking her human form. Because of her inability to use her powers, she has instead been honing her fighting skills in order to survive in the Arena.

    Her clothing consists of little more than carefully placed leather strips, and her preferred method of fighting as with the sword.

    Matchetew, or match as she prefers is a bubbly outgoing winged wolf, as the german myth goes she soon will be able to fly and breathe fire. she can be way to trusting at times, and…. well NEVER EVER EVER give her sugar, like in the tales sugar gives the same affect alcohol has on a human to her.

    Lóng Tiāncái (“Dragon Genius”, lit. “Dragon with Heavenly Talent”) is a humanoid dragonkin, with Chinese origins. She is a genius in all fields, with fighting skill to back her up. Her preferred method of combat is to use a large, rectangular sword which really isn’t that sharp. This is more of a club in reality.

    Her biggest weakness is that her scales are unable to fully develop, leaving much of her skin in its less durable form – Yet they develop enough to make armor uncomfortable. This was due to an injection from the city to restrain her power. Her clothing consists of a cape and an apron, along with a sheath for her sword. Her scales are of a red color, and mainly cover her arms and legs, although she has a few that had grown on her face like a tattoo, wrapping around her right eye. Her eyes are a rather pretty shade of green.

    If her sword is knocked away, she has considerable proficiency in hand-to-hand combat, and her dragonkin strength is definitely to be overestimated. However, her agility is only slightly above that of a less impressive professional athlete. She is also not perfect in her technique, leaving many open areas to counter if her opponent has similar skills.

    She has survival in mind, and will do anything it takes to live on – Even if it means fighting dirty. However, she is seen as a valuable slave due to her strength, and is rarely pit against an opponent that she had any real chance of losing to.

    Much of her history is unknown, but it is common knowledge among the slaves that Tiāncái’s parents are locked away in a dungeon, too old to work, possibly dead from the rancid conditions there – Nobody survives in the dungeons for long.

    Prilla, She has the power to control the Light and Darkness, is very clever but quite distracted. She hates how they treat the people in the arena. She is a human with special powers, but how long managed to keep them hidden?
    She is very cheerful, Their Parents, lovers of war and of absolute power, are’nt happy with her kind and gentle attitude with the slaves.

    Name: Xienex Esten

    Race: Pureblood Angel

    Appearance: Xeinex can mostly pass for an ordinary citizen, due to his very human looks. However, some notice his heterochromia, him having one blue eye and one green eye. This does not instigate more than a simple check, though. He has white hair, yellowed slightly by the influence of the unheavenly forces below. He wears a white and blue striped scarf, wrapped around his neck and mouth, most of the time, though he does remove it on special occasion. He prefers simple, white clothing, often going for white trousers, a white coat, and a black shirt. He wears simple glasses. He has wings with feathers the same color of his hair, but they can be hidden magically.

    Bio:

    Xienex was born an angel, a rare occasion celebrated by the heavenly forces. When an angel is born of two angels in consecration, it forms a pureblood angel, one bestowed with powers that related to the blood of the parents. Electrical forces were given to Xienex, but his journey had ever been to control them. For two hundred years, he practiced, but to no avail. All that he accomplished was keeping the electricity under wraps while his emotions were mild.

    This prompted him to adapt an apathetic view of life, which in turn led the heavenly forces to feel fear of him, for one who does not care is cold, and one who is cold may turn ruthless. He was expelled from heaven, forced to live among the humans of a random city. Of course, he ends up in the worst possible place for him, Cherubium. He learns to disguise himself, and live among the harsh humans, all the while trying to keep emotion in check.

    Anastasia R. Dynrothi

    On the Outside;;
    Anastasia is as human as human gets to the naked eye. No strange natural hair color, no distinctive deformity, nothing. I suppose her eyes are a bit abnormal, considering they have a yellow shine to them; which is the only thing that shows for her supernatural lineage. A little on the petite side, porcelain skin and lengthy red hair is what can distinguish her from anyone else.

    On the Inside;;
    Generally friendly, a comedian, and sarcastic.

    Years Earlier;;
    Within the past few years, Anastasia has gained control of one of her more frequent powers – Blood Manipulation. Mostly used offensively, she has mastered the technique pretty well.

    Auralyn Vitretas, a lithe, youthful girl that once roamed the city streets of Cherubium, perpetually lost in her own world. Many didn’t mind her, nor did she mind them. When guards rolled about, she merely strayed to the edges and passively followed their orders of submission if they were issued; not wanting to cause a ruckus. In the light hours, she was just there, doing simply nothing as if she was just a lingering shadow.

    But in the dark hours, when the sky fades to the gray of dusk, she felt more alive, more free. The cool darkness comforted her as much as the warmth of a fire for others. With her glistering monochrome hair and glinting indigo eyes, she explored and hunted to satisfy her qualms and musings until the dawn broke once more.

    In truth, Auralyn is a venebra (plural: venebrae), or, at least, considered a shifter of one; a wolf-owl hybrid of the night that sharply parallels that of a gryphon. In fact, she has an older brother that was indeed a gryphon, but they have long been separated, and now she always felt a hollow tug in her heart in the daylight hours. She was affiliated with the cool side of the spectrum: the washes of water, the cold of ice and snow, and the brushes of the night’s wind and dark. Her powers, as with every other of her kind, was vastly restricted, as it is nearly impossible to hone her potential in the day. Even under the shady cover of the moon and stars, she couldn’t seem to break the mysterious bonds within the city and become fully fledged in her alternate form.

    But as slated, her time of restless wandering drew to a close when, one late afternoon, she progressively grew quite sick and was forced herself into the more cleaner streets, which where the more richer families resided. Many times she was cast off, threatened in order to leave their property until she backed into the corner alleyway, the lesser parts of the section. She was found by guards who were about to prosecute her for trespass until two children of a local albeit lower class aristocrat came across the scene. Even with their father nearby, the kids seemed particularly interested in her, seeing her as if she were a poor cornered, stray dog (and quite frank, a literal one).

    To spite his kids, he decided to bring her in and cared for her, much to her reluctance but she had quietly submitted. When she grew more healthy, many times the kids wanted to play with her, especially in her animal forms, and eventually she began to grow open to others once again. Unable to dissuade his children from releasing her back out, she then became a servant to the family, becoming a vigil guard, particularly for the two kids. There was no room to argue, and she couldn’t even if she wanted to, and thus she kindly accepted her fate.

    (I usually do couple her and her brother together- to some extent at least, so playing as him came to mind as well. However I’ll hold off on that for now.)

    Aisling is a young shapeshifter, who has only 5 forms she’s able to go well into. She’s remained undetected thus far. Her human form has long dreadlocked natural red hair which is normally loosely tied back, deep brown eyes, and dark skin with freckles if one were to look closely. She’s about 5’3. When in this form, she prefers a black knit turtleneck with a violet and a snowdrop embroidered on the upper right chest, jeans, sneakers, black legwarmers, and sneakers. She’s not good at fighting at all in this form, and is relatively weak and sickly. Her second form, and the one she would prefer to take if it weren’t for the soldiers everywhere, is a dragonish being, with a reptilian but furry face and body with huge black wings. In this form, she’s 8 hands tall and 10 hands long. Her fur is the same color as her hair. Her third form is a fennec fox, and the easiest for her to take on quickly. This form is the one constant among her family, which scattered willingly not long ago, mainly for protection. Her fourth form is a sugar glider, and her fifth is a cardinal. All her forms have the same deep brown eyes.
    She’s very enthusiastic about most things in life, the the point of being borderline sadistic, but her health problems and current inability to shift leave her nearly dead after even running for a bit, thus she’s become a bit of the brain behind a revolutionary group. When she’s able shift into a non human form for a long time(over 48 hrs), then shift back to human, she ends up pretty healthy, but as of recently she looks looks as though she’ll either die or get caught. The first option is more likely, but she’d make sure to kill herself in the most useful way before going peacefully. Her parents and 3 brothers scattered and took different human forms the day all non humans began being searched for, but if she truly wished to she could probably find them. Also she’s a total flaming homosexual, thus the violet and snowdrop pattern on her shirt.

    Mathew is a vampire. He was bitten at age sixteen, so he looks pretty young considering he’s about 200 years old. Matt’s straggly brown hair often covers up his bright greens eyes or gets in hid face. Mathew often wears skinny jeans and black a teeshirt. He has tiny, spread out, freckles and a round nose. Matts eyes turn a dark yellow when his jagged fangs come out, and his strength is increased. If Mathew is cut or harmed while in vampire form the wound will simply heal. Being a vampire Matt can only be killed by wooden stake to the heart, sunlight, silver bullets, and cutting off his head. After Matt was bitten he killed his widowed mother and three younger sisters. This was done so he could avoid the guilt they would make him feel for killing people. Mathew has always been guilt free and a party animal. His energy and “screw the government” attitude gets him in risky situations all the time. For as long as he’s been undead Matt has taken refuge in a large warehouse on the outskirts of town. He roams the streets after the town’s curfew and makes dinner out of whoever he finds out in the streets. He likes to make trouble and cause scenes wherever he goes. This makes it hard for him to keep a low profile. Whenever he gets caught having a late night snack, the guards take him as a prisoner until someone buys him as a slave. Matt has been a slave multiple times, but after being fed up with his current owner at the time he kills them. The kings army has been on his trail for a while, but with a rebellion brewing, he finds now the best time to raise a little hell before things get ugly.

    Name: Serilda
    Current Age :16
    Appearance:Long black hair , dark green eyes, usually wears black armor with blood stains, and only uses her long Dragon Katana for a weapon. She always covers her mouth because beneath her black mask, a never faltering , sadistic smile shows saw-like teeth. On the side of her face a long jagged scar runs, an old wound from her first days as a warrior.

    Bio: Born and raised in a far off land, when she was 5 Serilda murdered her family, and was found eating them two days after their deaths.Sentenced to death for being a Demon, she was rescued by her creator, a Dark Demon who had hoped she would bring death upon the world. Sending her off to Cherubium, she was left alone after he was killed by the soldiers. Ever since, she has been kept a slave in the Arena, fighting from the age of 8, she has became one of the most sadistic and twisted warriors, keeping to herself mostly, but never attacking one of the other slaves. Knowing that soon she would fight for herself and the others, she started to become friendlier to them, and even helped them in the fights,she would find the enemies, who were always much stronger and far from being slaves, and roughed them up, making them weaker, and almost always letting the slaves win. When alone she would practice her powers, which were to call other Demons, and Dark Magic, but she was limited, for she only had herself and her few supplies to work with, but it did help to make the Guards fall asleep, letting her go out and free the others.

    Toby, Oliver, and Milo are secondary strangers, meaning they were created by a stranger, not born as one. In this case, they were the work of a toymaker witch. After giving birth to stillborn triplets, she was so deep in despair that she created these three life sized dolls and merged the infants’ souls with them. They lived with her as her children for two years before the warlocks found the shop and executed her. The dolls were spared since, objectively, they are very well made and amusing oddities. They were given to the king and belong to the princess now, and are three of her favorite toys. They’re the size of average twelve year old boys, and act about the same age. If broken, they can heal themselves, but the area grows back
    with a bluish tinge, sort of like a bruise.

    Toby- the self declared leader, Toby is sassy and sultry, and is a master at charming others into doing what he wants

    Oliver- the more brutish, and masculine of the three, Oliver is usually calm and very competent, often bailing the other two out of trouble.

    Milo- the emotional baby of the group, Milo is shy and innocent. He’s made of porcelain rather than clay, so is much more delicate.
