IC- Bonded- Casual IC
There are a select few humans who from a very young age develop bonds with creatures of the wild. Once the bond is made it can never be undone and the two are connected for the rest of their lives. They are called Bonded. But for every light in the world there must also be darkness, because there must always be balance (and it would be way boring without it). The Antagonists are that darkness, seeking the Bonded and wishing to use them, either by cooperation or by force to help him destroy all the non-bonded because they see all those who were not blessed with the gift of the Bond as people who have been selected by nature as unworthy of life. Some agree with them, joining and hunting down other Bonded to join the cause and using their bestowed powers to cut down anyone in their path. Others do not, and they rebel, seeking to live peacefully in a world of both bonded and normal people. There are always two sides to something and it is usually the case that those two sides do not see eye to eye. This is no exception.

Name: Sauthril Jalas. (Generally, he will not share his name with anyone, instead having people make up their own names for him.)

Age: 19

Side: Antagonist

Creature Bond: Wyrmling. "Phi'aqua" (Imagine a dragon-like creature about the size of an eagle.)

Magic: True names. (E.g Knowing the true name (First and last name) of a person will allow him to command said person, but only to a certain extent - they will not do anything that is purely against their nature, for example, he cannot command a person to kill themselves or their family. Resistance is also completely plausible. However, the magic serves as a double-edged blade - should someone learn his true name he would be completely susceptible to his own tricks.)

Weapon: Shortsword. He is also decent at hand-to-hand.

Personality: Sauthril believes that his holy duty to destroy all of the non-Bonded, believing that they only wish the same fate upon his kind. Thus, one could see him as quite the dedicated fellow, though cold and harsh when dealing with those who are not of the Bonded, he has been taught that those that are Bonded are to be treated with respect, honour and manners - ideals hammered into his mind as a child. He is rather arrogant and a little overconfident of his abilities.

Bio: Sauthril was born into a village of Bonded zealots and, as luck would have it, he was one of the Bonded as well. Tradition of the small community dictated that once he reached the age of seven he would set out into the woods surrounding the village and find himself a partner that would remain with him until the end of either one's life. This is where he met Phi'aqua, his wyrmling, the bond came with a gift and a curse - his power over True Names. Tradition also said that he would have to spend three weeks out of the village with his new partner in order to strengthen the bond into something adamant. Sauthril was one of the few children that survived the tests that year - it was said that only the weaklings in the village would die, thus weeding out the pathetic and useless, whilst allowing the strong to live on. His education was a tough one - the few children that returned from the three weeks in the woods would immediately be thrown into the schooling system, in which they would not learn to read or write, but to kill the non-Bonded. Sauthril took quickly to the quicker movements required in the use of the shortsword and hand to hand combat, but never truly perfected eaither. It was hammered into each child's mind that they were much superior to regular humans and to protect them was a sign of weakness and weakness was seen as a disgusting trait that any non-Bonded would manipulate in any way possible.

The children in the village were only taught to read and count after they reached the age of 16, as such, many of them never quite grasped the concept of letters and many more could not count past ten. Even then, they were taught that it was a primitive way to convey messages that only the non-Bonded used, but they would need it, should they ever leave. The next year, Sauthril's mother gave birth to a daughter without the gift. As a test, they tasked Sauthril wth disposing of the useless child. That was his first kill. It hard been incredibly hard to make, but his childhood had taught him that to be dishonoured among his village was to be as good as dead to them. On the eve of his eighteenth birthday Sauthril had a dream - one he believed to be a vision from the gods themselves. The next day he set out with a new task - that of destroying all the un-Bonded that walked the earth.

Name: Vali Dan
Age: 19
Side: Antagonist

Creature Bond: Orhtrus A creature of large size, As big as a house in fact, he has the ability to shrink in size, down to that of a normal dog (roughly German Shepard size) albeit with two heads and bone like appendages on his back and head

Magic: Necrosis fist. Explained in brief, his ability allows him to slowly degrade whatever his hands touch. He can turn this ability on and off. But in times of extreme emotion and panic the ability may activate itself. The degradation works like a corrosive acid, Touching it against skin, bone metal and nature will cause it to weaken and degrade. If the grip is held for a second, It will start burning and any longer the corrosive matter will spread along the item being Necrotised

Weapon: He uses only his body as his weapon

Personality: Vani spends most of his time in the presence of animals and as such is socially awkward. He has a highly inquisitive nature and will ask simple questions, those who bare his company note his near perfect memory and surprising intellect. He rarely touches people, yet he has an unbridled rage and conflict, If he sees a non-bonded, or even some bonded who threaten the forest he will retaliate most devastatingly.

Bio: A shaman-istic person. He once lived a fairly normal life, At the age of ten he learnt to fight from his father, and he took to this like a duck to water. For two years he lived in peace, fighting and tending the land. That is until the nearby cities warden approached his home, he demanded his father hand over Vali to be conscripted. Vali's father responded by snapping the neck of the Warden's soldiers and telling Vali to flee, deep into the forest, After 100 steps, Vani heard a scream of death from his father.

Vani ran, and ran, and ran, deep into the forest, into the nest of creatures, the eyes of predators, the breast of peril. He ran far until he reached the centre of the forest. Collapsing in a semi-conscious heap, he was approached by the mythic Orthrus, the beast almost certainly intended to eat him. But then...they bonded, fate smiled on Vali as he was taken in by the Orthrus and raised by the forest.

For 7 years, Vali grew into a man, living off the land and strengthening himself. The forest actually had an infrastructurally vital road, and it is here he met traders, who taught him anything he needed. Skinning, the names of creatures and apothecary, he also had a set of tattoos etched into his flesh, in the memory of his family and his roots. But his time was dampened by dire news; the human stain was spreading, and started to cut down the forest, turning the mightiest, oldest trees into machines of war. Vali's rage at the nature's desecration, along with his hatred for the people who killed his father lodged the seed of a rebellion in his heart. He learned to hate the industrious, the imperialistic, and the war-mongering and would start his purge of Gaia’s kingdom.

Name
Madelyn Piper

Age
17

Side
Antagonist

Creature Bond
Phoenix {{ Whisper }}

Spoiler

Magic
Flight Sight.
When her Phoenix is in flight, Madelyn has the ability to see whatever her Bonded sees.

Weapon
Bow and Arrow. Her aim is perfect and she is able to shoot from long distances while hitting her target without miss.

Personality
Quiet, typically speaking only when spoken to. There have been a few times when she has lost control of her anger but it's usually only set off by the ignorance of those around her; more so by non-bonded people. She fears and pities them, afraid they would harm her but at the same time she mourns their less blessed existence. She is more of a follower than a leader, having no motivation to take charge and actually likes being told what to do. Is polite when needed but leans more towards being standoffish and indifferent.

Bio
Madelyn's history is very tragic but in the same sense came as a blessing. Her parents were killed in a fire, flames that were caused by the birth of her bonded creature, the Phoenix. The flames started in a nearby patch of trees, eating quickly into the town she lived in and destroying nearly half the population's homes. Madelyn was no exception and luckily she was able to escape before she was killed along with her sleeping parents. She was eight at the time and as she watched her home burn down, broken-hearted and alone, the Phoenix appeared before her as a flaming bird no bigger than your average crow. They bonded immediately, creating something that to this day still leaves Madelyn breathless with it's beauty. Whisper is her everything and as she shes it, anyone that is not bonded is a threat. Her fear is what fuels her mission, eliminating the threat before harm comes to her or anyone else who has bonded.

This, indeed, does look interesting. If you do not mind, may I join?

Name: Deimos "Dei" Vulfolaic

Age: 19

Side: Neutral

Creature Bond: Radiant Silver Demon Wolf (Hati)

Magic: Lunar Light (Capable of controlling the moon's light, making it physical/solid or transparent/energy. Obviously, he cannot use any magic without the moon's presence)

Weapon: Sigu (Massive broadsword) and Urumi (A very flexible sword. Almost like a razor-sharp whip). He can also use ranged weapons quite proficiently, though his hand-to-hand combat is very poor.

Personality: Although serious and cautious, Dei is very down-to-earth. He believes all people are created equal, no matter what. And, as equals, he gives everyone the same treatment of "not caring". Additionally, Dei thinks that emotions lose their power once put into words, thus only speaking when necessary.

Bio: Dei born in a village where all the animals were either wolves or few birds. Everyone that lived there had to bond with a wolf (or, in rare cases a bird) at the age of four or risk being eaten by the other wolves. Dei was unfortunate enough to not bond with the village wolves and, thus, ran away. During his escape, he was attacked by a rouge wolf, losing vision in his right eye. Eventually after running for so long, he fell into a pond by a wounded wolf. The wolf was a beautiful white wolf with radiant yellow eyes and golden tipped ears and tail. He helped revive the strange wolf, later learning it's name, Hati, and bonding with it.

Hati, his bond, is believed to be Hati Hróðvitnisson, the wolf that once swallowed the moon itself. When asked, Dei would just laugh..... but he never refused the idea.

I'm gonna say that I'm not accepting anyone anymore now, so everyone who hasn't already posted don't ask me, everyone else in in. And i'll just get all the character sheets fixed up and i'll put up the IC

MidnaPhobia · #7 (**permalink**) 01-30-2010

Okay, I just have one complaint to um... Lasher and that's that you can change into EVERY animal, maybe just some select ones or something maybe? Other than that it's all good but the IC will not be up till tomorrow now, sorry.

BeetZel · #8 (**permalink**) 01-30-2010

Hi Midna, beetZel here and ready to join LOL.

ame: Loki Vladimir IcenwieldAttachment 1579

Age: 17

Side: Rebel

Personality: Calm, curious, doubtful, brave, and sarcastic

Bio: Loki is a very young soldier within the high ranks of the imperial army that resides with the Kingdom. Unbeknown to him was that he works for the insane ruler, who in terms tries to make his soldiers bond with creatures. Loki has average brown colored hair that goes along with his dark brown eyes. Loki is somewhat very airy headed as he likes to daydream a lot, but he is very brave and will do anything to protect his friends. Not having a bond of his own he has yet to be bonded with his creature.

Creature Bond: LeviathanAttachment 1580(Seadra "Oh! and Seadra is short for Sea dragon, so don't Judge me!" ) The Leviathan can shape shift its size according to how the owner is traveling. There are two sizes: The first size is its normal size which is about the length of 2 buses and suited for the human to ride on, and yes he will not be like super ultra giant or anything because I'm trying to be fair. The second form is about the size of a cobra which he can coil around the owners neck. And I know that Leviathans are Titanic but I'm changing his size to make it more fair so that we all can have fun in this RP.

Weapon: Claymorehttp://www.endlessrage.net/moonMAN/claymooa.gif and has some skills in hand to hand combat.

Magic: Water and Ice

I know you said no more for now, So I shall simply follow the comings and goings, Incase something comes up. But am I the only person who notices a slight hint of Unoriginality ? I see two Dragons (Albeit one as a wrymling, which by mythos grow to be bigger than dragons, But only having 2 legs), A Griffin, A pheonix and a bear. Which presents problems of course, especially for the bear

Dragons are renowned for there Fire breath and there nigh impenitrable scales. So It would be hard to beat/Kill

Pheonix (unsure what the plural is) are renowned to be unkillable, they would instantly regenerate if you managed to kill it.

Griffins are renowned as the most intelligant creatures in existance, and are also increadibly fast fliers.

Leviathans are like...F'ing HUGE. They eat whales like orderves/

And a Bear...is just a bear, no matter how big.

Can anyone see my point ?
