I edited mine. Should I repost or leave it up there? It's finished, I think.

Yaaayyy....things are rolling alooong =p

> Name: He decided to cover up whatever name he had, and instead chose "Spero," which is Latin for "I Hope." Like me, Spero has a fascination with Google translate, and words in Latin. > > Age: 19 > > Gender: Male > > Appearance: > >  > > Magic Branch: Elemental- can use air as his second-most-powerful, but his primary is electrical. He has a slight ability in Vitalism, less in healing physical wounds, but more in calming and reassuring someone- pushing emotion through to someone to help- or possible hurt- someone. Spontaneous, in-the-moment and most definitely not static, while having a caring side that he'd be unlikely to openly admit. His defining power would label him as the "Stormbringer." > > Backstory: > Kidnapped at age two, Spero was one of a few disappearances in a small town. The others were assorted kidnappings from criminals, but Spero was chosen for a greater purpose, saved from the possible criminal kidnappers. He didn't know much of anything besides warm-safe-large-walled was being left behind, and that made him throat-hurt-eyes-spill. > > Later, though after being raised by the secretive people in the underground lair, he was introduced to the crystal, younger than age 10. He was still a child, and yet he nearly electrocuted three people and killed himself in the process, before he managed to stop go lightning-y. He spent some time in isolation, practicing and eating vast amounts to support his energy use, so that he could learn to control it. It was a voluntary mission- he asked to be put in one of the padded cells they kept for a dangerous prisoner, letting the wards on the walls absorb and deflect the magic. He practiced like that for over a month, in total isolation, eating enough for three and using enough power to leave him exhausted every day. When he came out, he was a bit different. The friends he had, he stopped talking to; the things he used to like, not quite so much. He became more withdrawn, more focused. Some time afterwards, when he reached his teenage years, he was sent on a mission with a couple older mages. When he returned, he was badly shaken; he trained for several more years before going on another mission, and after this, he went on a steady flow- a month or two away, a couple weeks back, and then another month or two away. He's dedicated to the cause, even if he knows that he was kidnapped against his and his family's will. See? If you use your imagination, wonderful things can happen.

I was particularly creative & inspired

Name: Merlin Age: ??? Gender: Male Appearance:  Magic Branch: Psych Magic Backstory: No one knows how old Merlin is or how he got that style of magic and no one else did. He's been head of the SWH for as long as anyone can remember. He wants to lead the opening attack to let the MEF know that he is not a strategist, but also a wizard.

Haha, cool. ^-^ And yeah....>.> I updated mine. Tis done.

> Name: Naioma Petaldon > > Age: 24 > > Gender: Female > > Appearance: [Naioma](http://imgur.com/HpiXaiU "enter image title here") > > Magic Branch: Shadow Branch > > Backstory: With a family like Naioma's ....it was a good thing she was taken from school as a child. It's highly doubtful that her parents missed her all that much, both strung out on several different things all at once. Infact, her parents didn't even realize she was missing for a day or two, before they started telling their friends she'd run away. It became an easier way of life for them, both wasting away since they didn't need to buy food for someone anymore. > > Naioma's life instantly became better, and special, when she was taken. They told her that she would become special, that she'd understand more in a few years when she was older. All she could figure was that someone had heard her talking one night, "praying" as it were, and decided to do something for her. She honestly didn't know why she was special. That was until they were in the SWH compound that first night, walking through the halls to the crystal chamber. Before she saw it, she almost felt it, as a prickle up her spine. The adults hadn't seemed to notice anything, but then and again they saw the crystal day in and day out. They probably thought nothing of it any more. The only trouble had come when she went to touch it. > > Before her hand even touched the smooth sides, darkness connected her hand with it. It was an almost overpowering surge, touching the crystal making her palm ache at the same time that it woke up something inside of her. The unleashing took only a few seconds, though it seemed like ages, and when she was able to step away she was breathing hard. She could see shadows everywhere, the dark much more welcoming than the harsh lights that were over head. The adults were happy with the out come, though, so she was happy too. The next day they started training, and it all went up hill from there. > > The past eighteen years of her life were spent training in the SWH, becoming better at her Shadow Magic. It was almost too easy sometimes, calling in the darkness, pulling it into form. Her body became hardened, her eyes a little deader each year. On her twenty first birthday she got her first full mission, killing one of the MEF trainers before he went back to their compound. > > *WIP* > Very good, Accepted.

......it had like...four more paragraphs to it....i will have to rewrite them....urg....

BUHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHHA I'm going to have the sad guy! Who can also summon storms and electrocute you! Hey! That's a good reason for him to be alone! He hasn't mastered the ability to keep from shocking everyone who touches him! Yay!

Oh dear....that's going to suck anus for him hahaha. >.<

Hmm Maybe it'll be so that The initial shock may hurt, but if you don't stop touching him, it slowly tones down into more of a buzz- something that'd probably force your muscles to tense, but not painfully so. And the more used to being touched he becomes, the less painful his accidental shocks are! Oh, that's a great idea! Time to be antisocial and unlikeable!

Yay character development!

> Yay character development! Pfft, no. I'm just gonna zap everyone. Everyone's gonna hate me. *Everyone*. Well, maybe not everyone. but people he dislikes *will*

Hahaha, .....let's hope she pisses him off.

Name: Donnie O'Cunnell Age: 28 (b.1987) Gender: Male Appearance:  Magic Branch: Elemental, prefers earth Bio: Donnie was kidnapped from Irish expatriates from Boston, Massachusetts in 1980. A statewide manhunt was held, but after a few months was given up. Meanwhile, Donnie was exposed to the crystal at headquarters. Donnie was younger than most of the kids on the waiting list, but while some kids sobbed wildly and/or released destructive and uncontrolled amounts of energy upon contact with the crystal, little four-year-old Don didn't even blink. He felt nothing but a tingle up his spine. He then very slowly raised a hand, and before anyone knew it, the various sears and rips in the room were slowly closing themselves. Even though Don has never seen his bonnie home country in the flesh until now, anybody can take a casual look and guess the Irishman within. He's a giant: about 6'5, meaty huge hands, quick to anger and quicker to laughter, and of course a damn excellent drinker. As an Irishman, he stayed unsurprisingly true to his element of earth- honorable, rugged, loyal and of course stubborn to a fault. He successfully completed his first mission at sixteen - providing cover for an escaping assassination team in Miami. Since then, he has completed eight successful missions for the SWH.
