The Eternal War
The Battle of Fairlake City

Status: OPEN







Rules

Name: Lillah Lawson

Gender: Female

Age: 18

Alignment: Paladin

Appearance: She has a straight, boyish figure and a short haircut to match. Although lean, she's muscular as well: her limbs are toned and the beginnings of abs sit at her mid drift. However, she doesn't really go out of her way to show off her rectangle-esque physique, save for her arms since--when she's not wearing a coat or sweatshirt--she prefers tank tops and other sleeveless tops. Under said tops, she typically wears a sports bra over average sized breasts. Her skin is dark olive in complexion and her eyes a light, exotic brown. Her hair is dark brown, as well, and stops just short of the bottom of her ears. She has a long-ish face, high cheek bones, and a sharp nose. She stands at 5'6" and weighs in at about 120 lbs of angst.

Personality: Lillah is the loner type: she's silently broody and keeps to herself. She's angry by default and isn't very patient with people--but has developed the self-control to deal with them despite. Her sense of humor is lacking and she'll roll her eyes before she laughs. She's a person who's hard to get to know and doesn't show much interest in getting to know others either. She struggles with the influence of her past life, as well, and tends to find that she can be rather cruel to others when her self control snaps. Despite these negative qualities, she tries to be a better person and will grudgingly land a hand where ever it's needed. She's brave, but not stupid, and very independent. She believes she knows how to take care of herself, and therefore has trouble accepting help from others. Once one does get to know her, they’ll find that she’s extremely loyal and protective. She’ll put a friend before herself every time, and might even get caught smiling every now and again.

Power: None

Weapons: The most she carries on her person is a pocket knife.

History: Lillah doesn’t remember, but she was taken away from her birth parents quite early because of infant abuse. The orphanage she was briefly raised in believed the trauma to be the cause of her introverted nature, for even when she did come out of her shell, she was often rude to the other children and caretakers. However, when fellow paladin Laurence Lawson stepped up to adopt the child when no one else would, it was because she, too, was a paladin.

Being raised by another paladin meant she was handed things on a silver platter that most paladins have to figure out for themselves: knowledge about who she is, training to deal with it, and an established network of fellow paladins. Training included combat and, especially for Lillah, dealing with the stress and guilt. Unlike her father, she was unable to recall her past life even in sleep. Nightmares that were supposed to be revealing were instead night terrors that had her waking up in a cold sweat. Her best mood was just barely happy, and—reluctantly—her father had her see a therapist who prescribed anti-depressants and sleeping pills.

Although she never was and still isn’t a fully realized paladin, by high school she was far more prepared for the life she was given to lead than most. She expressed a preference for home schooling, but her father believed she needed to learn how to deal with the public. So her early high school days consisted of barely scraping by with low Cs, paladin training, and gaming in between.

Come sophomore year, she added track to her list of activities—but not willingly. Lillah had gotten into a fight with a fellow student for picking on another. It was of course following a talk from her father emphasizing the importance of helping people, especially as a paladin. Still, she took it too far and she faced expulsion. However, circumstances were acknowledged and the school disciplinary committee allowed her to stay so long as she picked up a noncontact sport as a means to curb her aggression. She chose track.

That bump in the road made high school a little harder for Lillah, especially since she needed to maintain a decent GPA in order to continue track. But, she managed to finish school. After graduation, her father sold the house and they began to travel—not so much as father and daughter, but more-so as two equal paladins. Now, he’s growing older and Lillah is learning how to work, travel, and network with other paladins. This is a major reason why Laurence brought her to Fairlake, which has quite the dense paladin population.

Brief history of previous life/lives: This is Lillah's second life. However, she doesn't remember her first life as a serial killer. She would disguise herself and target couples--primarily newlyweds: kidnapping both, but only torturing and killing one before letting the other go. A strategy like that can't last forever, however, and she was imprisoned and executed after a kill count of twelve.

Name: Alex Brandt

Gender: male

Age: 22.

Alignment: Paladin

Appearance: Alex is a rather tall fit man with well toned muscles with strong ab muscles, on his right shoulder he has a dragon tattoo, that is usually covered by his charcoal grey hoodie he always wears. On his head covering his medium short black hair he wears a black beanie. in his right ear he has an ear stud. He has light brown skin, with dark brown eyes. standing at 6'2 above average looking face. on his right eyebrow the is a shallow scar running from the tip of the fair line to just the eye socket bone. (may add image if i can find one that works)

Personality: Alex is fairly easy going, with very little that really bothers him. Most people would consider him a slacker for his "why do now what i can do later attitude" and in most cases you would be right, but when it comes to his friends he is willing to go to extremes to help them. While not Violent or confrontational by nature it does not mean he is anyone's door mat, or that he can't landing you in a hospital. Having been arrested a few times in his youth he has learned to take care of himself and his family.

Power:none

Weapons: will think of something soon

History:Alex kind of knew something was up when he would have dreams of his past life. born in the worst slums of the city alex grew up the hard way.a dead beat dad, the mother passing away soon after the twins were born At a young age he had to step up and take care of his younger siblings. In the mornings he had to get up make breakfast for Andrew and Ashley, taking them to school, skipping school so he can work to feed his family.every night he would put them to sleep than go out to do less than legal thing to earn some extra money. several times His dad had to bail him out. by his senior year in high school his school had enough of "him coming to school when he wanted to and causing problems" so he was kicked out. His siblings now seniors no longer need him to take care of them and he is free to live his own life.

Brief history of previous life/lives: in his second life Alex was an unnamed killer during the 20s that targeted gangsters, and their families. after a while they figured out who the killer was and dealt with him

(this is subject to change)

Looks good, dude. C: I'll add him to the list.

.:. Raven Black Hair | 5'5" | 110lbs | Piercing Green Eyes .:.

Name: Hannah Smith

Gender: Female

Age: Eighteen (18)

Alignment: Paladin

Personality:
Despite Hannah's troubled previous lives she is a rather sweet and kind young girl. Some of it has to do with the good raising she had but most the fact she is one of the few paladins that has actually seen her past lives. In her past lives she had seen what she had done during THAT current life she brushed it off and didn't care. But as Hannah grew up with loving parents and was taught morals and the like when she finally unlocked the door back into the memories of all of past lives rocked her to the core. Having seen all the bloodshed and evil of her past nearly destroyed her. But having come out the other end she vowed to atone for her past sins and end the cycle.

From all this Hannah is a rather sweet, caring young girl that will do anything to help those in need; even if it puts herself in danger.

Power:
Time Manipulation - Hannah has the power to fast forward or rewind clocks, whether digital or analogue, and set it at anytime she desires. This has no effect on the actual flow of time but primarily used as a prank tool. Making people think they are late for a meeting or have time for a coffee when they should be rushing off to school. (JK :P)

(But for srsly) Hannah currently only has the ability to stop the flow of time for a maximum of five seconds. Allowing her to move about and do as she pleases for that alotted time. Once time starts again all of her actions to change the environment go into motion; I.E. Throwing a rock during a time stop, it will freeze during it's path though as time regains it will continue to follow the path it was set on.

Weakness: Seeing as Hannah only has five seconds to use the ability it severely limits what all she can do during the time halt. Furthermore, Hannah can only use the ability one every few hours or she will pass out from the strain.

Weapons: She carries a small 9mm pistol with her that is loaded with rubber bullets.

History:
Hannah didn't always know what she was or the lives she had lived in her past. She had always thought she was just a normal kid with a strong immune system. Having never had a sick day her entire life, even when she was a baby. She was an adopted child, having never met her birth parents as she was abandoned and adopted before she was even two years old. She had two mothers so it was never a mystery that she was adopted. Though Hannah never cared, her parents loved her and she knew that, it never mattered to her that they weren't her biological parents.

She had a pretty normal childhood, despite the occasional strange looks her family got out in public. She did well in school, she wasn't an A student but she did well enough to pass without much strain. She began to notice she too wasn't like normal girls after puberty, noticing she wasn't fawning over boys like the other girls in her schools but instead fantasizing about other girls. Having two moms made it very easy for her to come to them and explain how she was feeling and try to better understand what was happening. In truth her parents were excited to hear the news. Their daughter had something they knew all to well and knew exactly how to help her through it. Knowing their daughter wouldn't have to go through the same struggles they went through with their parents.

Hannah carried on from there, continuing her normal life until one fateful day (DUN DUN DUNNN). She had recently gotten her license after she turned sixteen. Driving home from a study session at a friends house she was side swiped by a drunk driver that had ran a red light. She was in a coma for over a week. Somehow that accident unlocked whatever suppressed the memories of her past. During her coma all the memories flooded back, every gruesome detail. She wasn't a serial killer or anything like that but she had killed people in her previous lives for various reasons and circumstances. The overwhelming memories is probably one of the reasons she was in a coma so long, the strain it had on her was just to much.

When she finally came out of her coma it was to the delight of both her parents; the both looking nearly as bad as Hannah did from so many sleepless nights in the chair beside her bed. They both hugged her as long as they could before a nurse came and shooed them off, not wanting them to mess up any of the several wires attached to her to monitor all her vitals. After such a traumatic experience they decided to keep her in the hospital for another week just to make sure everything continued to move in the right direction and nothing negative happened with her vitals.

During that week Hannah tried to her best to just think of those memories as a bad nightmare during her coma. But they weighed on her to the point she had to figure out what the hell was up with those memories. They were just way to vivid to ignore. During her free time, having her parents bring her laptop to the hospital, she researched what she was experiencing. A lot of it sounded like hogwash until she finally came upon a weird website that said things about reincarnation. What the author described matched perfectly to what she experienced, though not nearly as extreme as her experience. '..memories of a past life of crime and bloodshed.' A post that kept replaying in her mind.

She read on, reading about Paladins and Shades and their roles in the world. When she finally left the hospital she acted normal with her parents; them extra affectionate and protective since the accident. Finally getting them to loosen the reigns and allow her to go out on her own once more. She went out in search for more answers to what she was and what was happening. It took her a year before she found what she was looking for. She found a Paladin run bar, the owner seeing the desire for more knowledge and the fear of what she truly was in her eyes. He knew he had to help her.

During that time the man trained her, explained the finer details of what she was and how she could atone for her past lives. He trained her how to subdue Shades, teaching her that killing them would only give them a faster reincarnation. He taught her vital nerves through out the body that a precisely shot rubber bullet could incapacitate a shade long enough to be detained.

Knowing the sins of her past were too great for the minimal acts she was doing. When she turned eighteen she moved out of her parents house and moved to Fairlake, hearing that it was a cesspool of shades and evil. That is where she will atone for her sins and finally be free of her cycle of torment.

Brief history of previous life/lives:
Elizabeth Walters - The first life of Hannah's. Elizabeth was the young heiress of a wealthy company. Back in a time when women had little rights she was arranged to marry a man in an attempt to merge the two companies the families owned. She hated the man, mainly because she was secretly homosexual. A secret she had told her father and he retaliated with the forced marriage, stating that she would be forced to learn to love a man as she should. Though she hated her husband it wasn't because he was a man. She hated him because he was a vile pig of a human.

His favorite pass time was beating and raping Elizabeth whenever he pleased. Several years later she became fed up. One night while he slept she took a knife and buried it into his skull. This alone might not have been the reason for her reincarnation, for it was simply defense from getting raped and beaten again. Though what came next surely was the reason.

After her dear husband was dead she went about the large estate. Going into the rooms of the staff and slitting their throats in their sleep. Slitting their wind pipes before they could scream and alert the rest of the house. Room by room she sprayed blood over her lovely white night gown with a bright, wicked smile; red dripping from her chin. They would pay. They would all pay for ignoring her screams for help. They would choke on their blood like she choked on her tears.

She was found a few days later, a rotten scent causing alarm in the neighborhood. She was rotting in the livingroom, having slit her wrist after taking care of the rest of the house.

Naveed Jasvin - An Israeli radicalist that was taken in at a young age. Taught to kill without remorse to those who refuted their vision. Naveed was devout to the cause and had killed more people than he could remember. Though Hannah to this day can remember most of their lifeless faces. Naveed died from a chemical fire mishap.

Jasmine Colson - A prostitute by trade, murderous thieve by choice. She had a rough life, drug addicted parents left little choices for Jasmine as she never had a formal education. When she was sixteen she became a prostitute to get the money to live on her own; a small motel that didn't care that she was only a young girl on her own. Not long she began to think of her clients as nothing more than disgusting creatures that didn't deserve the air that filled their lungs. Having been beaten and abused too many times during her "business". She began to lead unsuspecting men into random motels around the city. She would sway her beautiful body until they were entranced. And before they knew it a knife hidden in her stockings was plunged into their chest. She would take the money in their wallets and leave the corpse. It wasn't long before the police caught her, she wasn't exactly a trained assassin who knew how to not leave a trail. She was raped and murdered while in prison.

James Juarez - James was a gang banger low life. He grew up to an abusive father and an emotionally absent mother. To get out of that house he only had one choice where he lived; Gangs. He joined a gang at the age of fourteen, killing some random guy at a bus station to prove his loyalty. He spent his life killing other gang members, people who looked at him wrong, selling drugs, and the like. He was killed by a drive by while drunk on his door step.

Now that is a solid character. Awesome, awesome, dude. I'm a little iffy about a power that can manipulate time, but you seem to have it under control pretty well. I'll add her to the list. :D

Name: Tobias "Tobe" Dooley

Gender: Male

Age: 22

Alignment: Shade

Appearance: Tobe is a Caucasian male, a little bit on the short side at 5'6" with a faint reddish birthmark around his neck. Brown hair, brown eyes, nothing unremarkable in his build. His hairstyle is outdated, a 90s flop cut, combined with his delicate facial features he just looks a little bit ridiculous. He tries to dress nicely to compensate, but doesn't have much fashion sense. Overall, he's a type of guy who just seems pathetic and silly.

Personality: Outwardly, Tobe seems like a polite but awkward person, nice and accommodating to the point that his acquaintances consider him to be a complete doormat. Internally, however, he is extremely bitter and filled with loathing. Tobe's fondest wish, after so many years of being pushed around, is to be a respected somebody. If that respect is born of fear, so be it.

Power: Like most shades, Tobe is in peak human condition in virtually all areas. He can easily run a four-minute mile, tear a phone book in half, or stay up for days on end.

Weapons: Tobe frequently carries a Sharpfinger knife.

History: Born and raised in Fairlake, Tobe was an unremarkable child, with unexceptional grades in school and very few friends. People he knew regularly mocked him when he wasn't around, and occasionally when he was. Though he displayed some athletic talent, he never bothered to pursue it, instead caving to his father's insistence on going to community college and becoming a data-entry technician. Throughout his life, though, he has had dreams and odd random bits of memory. A violent war, brutal atrocities, a death by hanging. They seemed too consistent to be random, and in high school he began to seriously consider the possibility he may have been reincarnated. Adopting the subject as a sort of hobby and doing research in his spare time, he eventually learned of the existence of the Drunken Dragon, rumored to be a place where reincarnates gathered. Tobe ventured there a few times, and in doing so learned the order of things from some of the other patrons. However, Tobe rejected the idea of becoming a paladin and declined to return to the bar. To him, a life of selflessness seemed pointless and unrewarding- being a nice guy hadn't gotten him anywhere. Besides, what was the point of being reincarnated unless you were meant to repeat the same stuff? Tobe didn't see one, and is now trying to figure out exactly how to make himself a somebody.

Brief history of previous life:Tobe, in his previous life, was one Leon Timbo, a captain in the RUF during the Sierra Leone Civil War. Timbo was responsible for various atrocities- the use of slave laborers in RUF diamond mines, hacking the limbs from civilians, brainwashing and drugging children to be used as soldiers. Eventually, Timbo was cut off from his unit in an attack and stumbled into the hands of government troops, who gave him a show trial in a kangaroo court and then hanged him from the nearest tree. He was unmourned. The day of his death- June 12, 1992- is the day of Tobe's birth.

Tobe looks good. :D Accepted, and I'll add him to the list.

Just note that it's not most shades, but all shades and paladins that are in peak human condition. A power is something considered super human such as super strength or telekinesis or Hannah's time manipulation.

Then I think once Zaga and VarionusNW post their sheets, we can start.

oh joyous day callooh callay... no seriously im happy about this.

Heehee, me too :D I feel ya, bro.

This looks really cool. I have an idea for a human character. Want me to PM you the idea?

Sure, go for it! C:
