In a land torn apart by a ruler who craves power and ultimate control it has been decreed that all children born with the bond of a guardian animal must be surrendered to King Alaman's evil army. No one knows how King Alaman knows when such a child is born but just hours after their birth his soldiers appear at their doorsteps, demanding the parents hand the child over.
When a chosen child is born their guardian animal presents themselves to the family and approaches the child. The guardian will then touch them once and disappear until the child's sixteenth birthday unless the child's life becomes in danger. Only one in every 50 children will be born with a guardian animal, but if one child is born with one then any others born to the family will as well. A guardian animal can be an creature found on land and usually tend to be a bit larger than their typical species, many in fact being large enough for their human to ride.
Many parents give their child to the King's army out of fear, some because they truly believe in the King and what he represents. These children are raised in homes until their twelfth birthday when they are then sent to be trained by the soldiers to become part of the army on their sixteenth birthday. Boys and girls alike are raised this way. The king doesn't care about gender, he cares only about raising an army of human and guardians to take over all the surrounding countries.
Those parents who refuse to hand their children over must find a way to send them away before the soldiers arrive and take the child from them. More often than not the parents have no choice but to stay behind and come up with a story as to why there is no child to be taken away while those closest to them run as far as possible with the child. They are raised in secret all over the country, some even in other countries, unaware that those that raise them are not their parents. Many of these children have now reached the age where their guardians have appeared and those that raised them have no choice but to tell them the truth. Most have left the only homes they know and now search for others like themselves, determined to find a way to take down King Alaman and his army.

Name: Corrine Woods
Her nickname is Cori, but she only allows Serafina to address her as such.

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Appearance: Slightly above average height for a woman and thin and boy-ish in body shape--and embarrassed about it, especially her flat chest. She's albino, so she has shockingly pale skin and hair to match--eyelashes and eyebrows to match. Her white hair falls just to her shoulders and she could never get it to grow any longer. However, it's always neatly styled and framing her face.

Personality: Corrine makes a point to put appearance above almost all else. So long as it seems like she knows what she's doing, she pretty much knows what she's doing. She doesn't like looking weak or unintelligent or like a fool in front of other people and enjoys considering herself independent. She comes off as very serious to most people and generally humorless; she tends to carry herself as if she's better than most people and it gives her an air of arrogance and intimidation that is backed by her quickness in pointing out the flaws in others should they irritate her. Despite her bad attitude, she's very caring and generous to the people around her. If you need help, she won't hesitate to offer a hand even if she comes off as reluctant to do so.

Bio: Corrine was born to nobility quite loyal to the king and his mission to expand. So, she never had to be taken away from her family, and they willingly allowed her to be raised in the army--it was an honor. Because of her status, she has always been treated quite well; as a result, she's as loyal to the cause as her parents. She believes in spreading King Alaman's territory.

As a younger girl, she was always insecure about the way she looked. Her red eyes would scare even her when she stared into a looking glass too long. Her mother wasn't exactly comforting either, and encouraged make up to darken at least her eyelashes and eyebrows from the moment Corrine could put it on herself. Many of her days were spent training alone inside--the sun put a strain on her skin, yes, but she wasn't given the chance to grow close to other child soldiers because of it. She was quite reserved and withdrawn for a good sixteen years of her life.

Then, Serafina appeared: the lioness had fur as white as snow and eyes red like blood. However, unlike meek little Corrine, she was confident and her presence commanding. The guardian was awe inspiring to Corrine, and she quickly learned to take after the lioness. Now, a year later, and Corrine only wears makeup to emphasize her paleness and red eyes--not hide it. She paints her lips red and wears lovely crimson dresses when she's not in uniform. The young woman is no longer afraid to speak her mind with her lioness at her side.

Weapon of choice: Bow and a quiver of arrows on her back. However, she also keeps a jeweled sword at her side not only to show off her status, but for close combat.

Guardian CS

Name: Serafina

Gender: Female

Species: Lion

Appearance: Like her companion, Serafina is an albino. She's a large, white lioness with intelligent red eyes. She stands tall, just under Cori's shoulder.

Personality: Like Corrine, Serafina holds herself in rather high esteem. She's a proud lioness with a goal in mind. However, unlike Corrine, she's far more relaxed and perhaps more arrogant in her power. She's not afraid to stir up trouble either, whereas Cori prefers to keep things quiet when possible.Also contrasting Corrine, Serafina does not like helping others unless they can return the favor.

Name: Darrow "The Rattler" Greiv-Heart

Age:19

Gender: Male

Appearance: Incredibly large for his age, Darrow reaches up to 6'8 and has a body toned through years of fighting to survive. While in no way unattractive, Darrow won't win any beauty contest and in fact has scars all over his body. Most of these scars are form one battle or another but several were made intentionally by him, to honor his people. The first is a facial scar that labels him a griev heart, two symmetrical slashes that start just below each eye and ends just above the chin and outside the sides of the lips. His second totem scar is a bear paw on his chest, over the heart. This means that Darrow is the host of a bear guardian. Lastly is his warrior totem. These scars are on the back of each hand and look like stars. Darrow keeps his hair short, only about 2 inches and tries to shave regularly but he can't gain a true clean shave until he can get his hands on a decent razor. As a consequence he always has stubble of varying degrees.

Personality: Big, Tough, and alone. Darrow tries to keep up the image of a stoic barbarian, like his people, but years of living with only his guardian has left Darrow without much social interaction and barley knows the standard language of the kingdom, instead relying mostly on his native tongue. However as the last speaker of it, he is forced to learn the foreign tongue just to say hi. With all this isolation he does not know how to responsibly deal with emotions and is quick to act on them, sometimes leading to large regrets. Even so, Darrow is still warrior of the Greiv Hearts and will act and fight accordingly, which means fighting with the honor that the kingdom does not. With all this negativity comes some happiness however, Darrow loves his homeland and meeting new people, granted if they aren't trying to kill him. Other than that, the one thing he likes the most is painting the caves, telling the stories his people cannot.

Bio: Secret. Darrow was born to the Griev Heart warrior tribe located in the northern arctics. As all children born with a guardian, kingdom soldiers soon burst into the village and demanded that they hand over Darrow, however due to the influence of the kingdom just reaching the village the soldiers were not well liked to begin with and with this provocation Darrow's father slew the detachment of soldiers by himself. ln retaliation, when more soldiers came they burnt the village and killed every one. Everyone except Darrow himself and his father, who took him away once his mother died of birth complications. Since then, his father has trained him how to hunt and fight as a Griev Heart. To always feel sorrow for the loss of life but also rejoice, for you are either taking the soul to the all father or damning the unworthy into the Darsha, the sorrow crags. However, recently soldiers of the kingdom have set up a forward base in the north, to watch over the remaining tribes after the event which became to be known as the "Grief of the North Men" indecent. Soon after the base was set up, Darrow's father became ill and decided it was his time to join his brothers and sisters in the halls of the All Father, after leaving Darrow his ancestral axes, he left and fought with the soldiers, eventually dying. Since then, Darrow has been in a one man war against the soldiers stationed there, even having them nickname him "The Rattler" because of the bone armor he wears into battle.

Weapon of choice: Two ancestral bone axes. Said to have been made from the bones of an ancient beast, these axes may not be sharp, but they are able to break bones and coupled with Darrow's unnatural strength, are able to utterly pulverize bones and faces. He also carries with him several throwing spears.

Guardian CS

Name: Math'Ura, in the language of the kingdom it roughly translates to "Mother Bear.

Gender: Female

Type of Animal: A polar bear

Appearance: Like Darrow, Math'Ura is huge, reaching 6'7 on all fours and almost double that once she stands on her hind legs. She has no outstanding features besides a burst of blond fur on her forelocks and chest.

Personality: Math'Ura is, for all intents and purposes, a mama bear. She is fiercely protective of Darrow both from outside threats and from himself. Talking him out of doing more reckless attacks and calming him down when he gets agitated. She speaks with a motherly tone of voice and likes to nuzzle and cuddle, also she has a penchant for eating her enemies. However this all pales in comparison to her true purpose for Darrow, for sixteen years all Darrow knew was the harsh, but equally loving treatment of his father. When he finally trusted Math'Ura completely, Darrow found himself with a mother, something he didn't know he needed.
