Name: Thor Austerbrow

Age: 27

Gender: Stick

Element: Lightning

Appearance:

Personality: Responsible and ambitious law student, interning at one of the top firms in the world. He sets his expectations of himself extremely high, and takes pains to make sure that no matter what, he's a trailblazer. Of the Austerbrows, he is the more conservative, constructive, and reserved, though that isn't saying much given that Thor once leapt up on a desk in a mock trial, waving a "borrowed" umbrella around to illustrate a point to the jury. Adventurous, endlessly curious, and loves to figure out how things work. Thor is also very protective of his brother, and tends to make large allowances for his mischiefs. Thor also is somewhat exhausted, and while he still has the spirit of electricity in his heart, he is a more settled version of Raiden. Thor is a thinker, and a doer, but a thinker first. Even if all that thinking is devoted to devising the most devious dastardly master plan.

History: Born and raised alongside his brother, Thor always planned on finishing school, at least... technically. His connections helped get him admitted into one of the best law schools, though he was still required to complete the necessary exams and pass them, and so he did. He only mostly cheated, and never got caught. Thor acquired his degree with honours, and was immediately approached for an internship at a multitude of law firms. His reputation preceded him, and his being the protegé of one of the most eminent criminal lawyers raised his profile considerably.

He initially came into contact with Kris Silva through his mentor's dealings with the Silva family, as their estate lawyer. Though only a passing acquaintance, Thor remembered meeting her and sharing some light conversation while his mentor discussed matters of estate with the parents. When he was contacted with an invitation to the Silva Wedding, he was surprised, and having difficulty remembering who exactly would have thought to invite him. It cannot have helped that he was busy dealing with the shenanigans of his younger brother at the time, but either way, he was chosen as a guest for the wedding.

Equipment: Cellphone, Lightning-User Compatible Compactible Taser AKA LUCCTAZER (channels energy, is essentially just a long conductive stick to poke/beat people with), a collection of suits, and of course fingerless leather gloves and a menagerie of gold and silver cufflinks custom shaped so that they can be used in tandem to gather electrons quickly.

Name: Diana Schwarzwald

Age: 25

Gender: Female (NO Stick)

Element: Fire

Personality: Diana is a girl who could be called a "one woman army" when she stands her ground on something, or alternately pursues a chosen target or important goal she has in mind. Up-front, bold, and not afraid to speak her mind even if it offends others, she is not someone who likes to "beat around the bush" when speaking on one topic or another. With years of growing, this trait of hers has also been refined to an extent when dealing with certain things due to spending life around the member of a royal family. Losing some of her former teenage impulsiveness as time went on, she can very much sit and not bat an eye in a formal meeting without issue for hours and maintain her focus rather coolly.

Yet at her core one could say Diana has remained the same since she was 15 and going to school with her peers. Stubborn, bold, determined, caring for those dear to her, doting on her beloved girlfriend, and able to hold her ground when need be. All of this is especially true when it comes to protecting her girlfriend in some capacity. Though due to her more jovial, pun-loving, happy/friendly aspects she has, some have assumed her to be "dumb" and "impatient" due to her outward personality. Though this irks her, she has used this against opponents along with time maturing her in this regard to better handle these things in stride better than before.

Indeed, she is actually a very intelligent person in general who tends to try to get the "feel" for the "flow" of a given situation before taking action. But this aspect of her has developed more since taking an advisory role, and as such she has gained a shrewdness that surpasses her former abilities to try to read people and situation at a younger age. Albeit she could have her hotheaded moments still on occasion. But when she does act, she still will not hesitate one bit, and will usually act with varying levels of force depending on the situation at hand and the decision she has made to fit accordingly to her perception of the matter.

History: Diana Schwarzwald was born in Zuflucht (or "refuge"), a city of elementalists who lived just on the edge of The Black Forest in Germany, an area where they had much peace and had sufficient tourism and business in their area to be on good terms with their local area in Germany. Even so, the people there were close to the land, though with immigration of other families to this city there are many highly mixed bloodlines running deep throughout those living there. And this has been rather true with Diana herself, having German parents who are Water and Lightning Elementalists each, her paternal grandmother being American and an Flora element specialist (as an Earth Elementalist), her maternal aunt being a Fire elementalist, an older sibling who manifested the Light element, and even a cousin of hers possessing the Blood element to boot. In Zuflucht, it is actually an exciting thing among the people there to find out what elements the next generations of children eventually manifest, it has become a "coming of age" ritual of sorts that is celebrated by families and usually involves large parties with relatives (elementalist and non-elementalist) coming to visit.

Speaking both German and English as she grew up, in part due to having some English-speaking relatives, Diana had a generally good life. Kind parents, a middle-class life, an maternal uncle who served in a distinguished Elementalist branch of the German military who'd spoil her with gifts as a very young child, relatives nearby to visit. Though amongst some of her more bragging cousins and a few of the other local children who took a bit too much pride in their elements and lauded themselves over the "undecided", this girl decided she would not take crap from those people, or those few amongst the very old generation who seemed to think she would become some housewife after learning some about her element. It was not for her, she decided, and she was going to make a life for herself as an Elementalist. Such was her decision, though eventual marriage and relationships were definitely not out of the question...just that her attractions were not among the "norm", so to say, and were never spoken of as a result to others.

Eventually, her family decided to send her to a certain school for elementals, a long-standing tradition among their own particular family, and one that had left some relatives living near or at the Academy as well. Seeing this as the chance to escape her seeming "isolation" in Zuflucht from the rest of the world, and understanding from the accounts of others that the world was not all too kind overall to elementalists, she leapt upon her chance to go to the Academy and see what she could do to grow into as an individual and Elementalist.

However, it was here Diana would both find her element (that of Fire), and come to meet the person who would become her life partner: Kris Silva, a daughter of the Silva Royal Family. Though very literally at each other’s neck on the first day they met, the two became close, eventually engaging in a relationship a short time later after coming to terms with how they thought and felt about each other. From here Diana continued down the long road to graduation and control of her element, before finally graduating with Kris and her other peers.

Afterwards, the teen went to live with Kris on the ice cold and chilly Ross Island, coming to work for Kris as a personal advisor for her “ice princess” as she affectionately would call her behind closed doors. There for her through thick or thin, best or worst, Diana stayed by Kris’ side always, even putting in further personal training to better herself as well. Of course as a result of her position and closeness to the princess, Diana found herself excited to come along for the ride when Kris decided to go crash a certain wedding.

Equipment:

Set of semi-formal attire (seen in the stop pic of her) but with casual shoes and socks for traveling purposes.

A few changes of casual and/or traveling-worthy clothes including a swimsuit, just in case.

A normally hidden-on-her-person switchblade knife, with a slighter longer than normal blade, made for her to help keep her employer/girlfriend safe. Due to a trick learned back in school, she can superheat the blade for added cutting power and offensive capability. The knife was made with this trick in mind, and so was made of special alloys that allow her to use this knife like that without breaking it. Course things like cutting through metal doors and cauterizing wounds are other potential uses for this knife when superheated as well.

A one-and-a-half handed metal hammer made for one or optional two-handed use, able to be heated with flames (allowing it to bust through targets or melt things like ice or other metal targets on contact).

Specially-crafted First aid kit (attached to her right hip on her belt) that contains basic things like painkillers, gauze, ointment, antiseptic, bandages, and a few shots of things such as penicillin and certain drugs for use in serious emergencies along with a set of two injectors and replacement sanitized needles.

Name: Raiden Austerbrow

Age: 27

Gender: a finer 'stick' there has never been.

Element: Lightning

Appearance:

Personality: Raucous and unruly, the 'younger' fraternal twin brother of Thor Austerbrow. It is the ambitions of the elder brother in their developing years that developed the blackened spirit of the younger sibling as they chose to be the opposite of nearly everything that the older brother was. A wild spirit unrestrained by the belief of right and wrong, Raiden is a believer in the chaotic element of life to the fullest.

Wildly talented as a rising artist, Raiden creates murals of blackest sin on any canvas he can find as he seeks to show the world a true reflection of its own ugly features hidden just below the colorful surface. It is for this reason he has been called something of a perfectionist when it comes to his displays, sinking literal days of his life in seclusion as he churns out dozens of failed attempts before achieving his vision come to life.
His artistic demands do not merely extend to cans of paint or colorful ink. A tinkerer of functional machines, Raiden is one of the many souls responsible for the protected electronics capable of operating under the obvious stress of his element.

On his own, the younger brother is destructive. Impulsive. Prone to speaking out of line and ignoring consequences of his actions as every and any tender moment he is witness too is inevitably ruined at his hands by some obscene gesture or another.
With his brother in tow, however, Raiden is reserved. Contemplative. 'Colors within the lines' as he often refers to it, choosing not to bring down the reputation of Thor by association at inappropriate times. This isn't to say that his manners are perfect though; Once an animal, always an animal.

History: Born and raised alongside his brother, Raiden was always the most hyperactive of the two. Thor was prone to doing things that got results, Raiden was the type to do as he felt. Barely ten years of age he displayed a tenacity few but his parents could ever hope to match, eventually channeling his erratic energy into creativity. Illustrations, doodles, writing, painting, dismantling the various machinery. Anything that kept his hands busy had kept his mind focused on the task.

In their later years the brothers showed impressive skill in the mastery of their element. Raiden in particular had success blending his 'style' into the way he used his own element. Call it a phase but the younger brother was prone to dark clothes, bright displays, and rollerblades. Like his artistry it became a habit to focus tremendous amounts of time into making them who he was, even when forced into a fight.
Upon graduation he attended a techmental college and began his work developing electric overcharge resistant machinery, years later perfecting them to feed on the sheer electric current he pumped into his designs to increase its functions.

This led to the Austerbrow brothers mechanized rollerblades, high grade steel and conductive metals fashioned into functional footwear with a built in motor fed entirely on the electric current both brothers had. With a surge of electricity the wheels spin at a higher velocity. Tinkering on them to improve the design is still a hobby, but its become a labor or love to improve rather than a requirement. Both pairs are works of art designed exclusively for them, after all.

While Thor works tirelessly to bring justice where it needs to be brought, Raiden has dedicated himself to roaming where he sees fit and causing as much trouble as he can, returning home to hide and wait while plotting the next journey. At the moment he is merely tagging along with Thor on his trip.

Equipment: Cellphone, messenger bag filled with spraypaint and brushes, miniature toolbox, acrylic paints.

Name: Kris Silva

Age: 25

Element: Ice

Personality: Over the years Kris's attitude had taken a slight 180 from her old one, as she grew older she lost her insensitivity towards others and her possessive nature over learning to understand others and not demanding the attention of others with only slight hints of her still being slightly possessive when it comes to Diana and things she loves the most; she still has the problem of admitting shes wrong, and going to great efforts in order to always seem right and willing to fight tooth and nail and argue it unless backed into a corner, or confronted by Diana proven wrong, or just being told that she's acting foolish by Diana.

While she has taken somewhat of a 180, Kris' royal pride still remains in the front of her mind, she still sees herself as a princess even at 25, but has a hunger for more power and feel as if the rest of her family don't see her or her ideals as something serious; and loathes most of her family, believing that they are both short sighted and only think about things one day at a time.

While being with Diana Kris lost her O.C.D obsession and hatred for the number seven, replacing the former hatred with the hatred of how most of her family on her father's side doesn't listen to her or brush off anything she suggest or tell them, with the constant ignoring driving her up a wall. But with Diana at her side, the ignoring and constant brushing off almost goes away with having Diana to lean on and to vent to once in a while; for the years that her and Diana have been together Kris' love for her hasn't changed one bit.

Kris may not look like it but she considers herself a calm headed strategist, when in combat she chooses to rather observe her enemies using defense and evasion and at times incorporating ballet moves with her evasion; once she knows how her enemy works or fights she looks for openings in their attacks remembering the art of war and combat being knowing your enemy and knowing yourself. If she's confident in her abilities and doesn't feel threatened by her enemy, she chooses to rather quickly dispatch them instead of beating around the bush messing with them, or looking for openings in their attacks.

History: Kris was born the first daughter among several boys, her father is a king of a monarchy of mostly ice elementalist on Ross island, an island close to Antarctica. Being one of the middle children among a bunch of boys who were rowdy and almost crazy in Kris' eyes meant she didn't get much attention from her father and almost went completely ignored by him or completely forgotten about with him forgetting about her on Christmas when she was seven years old.

After that moment she hasn't really looked at her father the same way and grew to detest him and sometimes go against him when she was younger pulling pranks on him and messing with him to get his attention; but then he divorced her mother and gotten remarried faster than he could put on a new hat. Hearing of his latest marriage so soon filled Kris with a rage and she tried to kill her stepmother but lost to her and in some attempt to humble her sent her off to an academy for elementals.

It was easy to tell that when she first got there she was angrier than she could ever be and even tried to return home once she first arrived there only to be rejected from attempting to do so and forced to attend the school, and in the first class she arrived to the ice princess was having a fit with the gym class they were in and hating how that it wasn't really a class and more of a knock the teach down to show your element.

As Kris made fun of another person's control over their element she was grabbed by the girl that would later become her girl friend and got into a fight with her. Once the fight was broken up by the teacher and the help of another student, Kris had constant memories of Diana and constantly questioned herself throughout the first year before Diana made her accept her feelings and they graduated from the school.

Their relationship didn't end when their time at the academy came to an end, instead of going to Diana's homeland they both stayed at Kris' home kingdom with Diana playing the role of her personal advisor as Kris returned to take a spot closer to her father to better her kingdom, only to return to the same old crap that she was sent away from, it was as if she changed but everyone else's attitude of her didn't change one bit when she came home.

While the two stayed in the kingdom she aided Diana with her personal training in any way she could while also looking out for Diana over her own family members when anti-elementals attacked their castle. Between her attempts to better the kingdom while aiding Diana, Kris had her eye on the throne and ideas she doesn't even tell Diana. Once she was told to go to her fat sister's wedding part of her believed that she was going on another humbling journey across the new lands of Stendal

Various tools(Only in her Hummer)

Ae-ri Stands at a measly 4'9", though her height does not bother her at all, she likes being small as it allows her more flexibility in her repairs and constructions.
Both her cat ears and tail are fully functional and she does not have any human ears.
Thus, her hearing is now especially good. Which can be both good and bad.



Over the years, Ae-ri’s personality had changed a little. Despite the lab accident, she has still remained very experimental, often trying out a new approach to things or ways nobody had thought of before. But also in the ways of more reckless experimentation.
She has no issues sacrificing her own well-being for progress, though she is a little more careful when it comes to the lives of others. Still, she is very curious in almost everything.

She has also lost the naivete of her youth and is quite more serious than she used to be and a lot less cheerful, even if her new traits sometimes want her to be a bit more childish.
Her new traits have a noticeable influence on her, even if she often fights back and succeeded in adapting them to her lifestyle. She still prefers several things nowadays that one would accept from a cat, like liking fish and milk and enjoying headpats way too much for her own liking.

Even though her vocal chords are mostly healed now, thanks to her lab accident, she still doesn’t talk and mostly uses a mobile whiteboard to write on.

Other than that, she has developed a lot from the formerly reclusive teen to somebody who seriously wants to be close to her friends. However, new anxieties, especially concerning her new ears and tail, appeared and in public she tries to hide her new features as much as she can, since it is more than unusual for somebody to have ears like her or a tail.
Now more than ever, it is visible that she is not normal, being both an elemental and victim of an elemental mutation.


Born in Korea to a family of engineers, Ae-ri grew up travelling around the world with her parents and being alone a lot of the times. As such, she, from a young age on, had to learn to be self-sufficient. At some point, when she was around eight, she started to tinker on old electronic devices her parents did not need anymore as a distraction and to waste some time. Never did she know before, that it would be so much fun for her and became almost her entire day from that point on.
Although both her parents were rarely around, her father and mother were both proud of her and, in their spare time, taught her a lot of the things she might need to know.
It was during that time, that she started to construct things on her own. At some point, she realized, she could manipulate water to some degree, but a lot more when she used it in the things she built.
Of course, she was rather unaware of the consequences her abilities could bring her, but nobody, not even her parents noticed for a while, as her powers were too weak to notice outside her contraptions.

One day, though, not long after she turned fourteen, her mother, understandably quite shocked, found her fiddling with a metal press she built herself which was physically being powered by her water ability.
Scared of anybody else finding out her powers, they decided, with a heavy heart, to send her to the Academy for training and, especially, safekeeping.

After the academy, Ae-ri built her own lab where she tried to invent more uses for her powers in contraptions and also ways to pass the boundaries of her physical ability.
During one of her experiments, one that any other techmetal would strongly advise from doing, went wrong. Due to that, her DNA got spliced with that of her cat transforming her ears into those of a cat and placing them on top of her head as well as giving her a tail and several other personality traits that are more or less controllable.

Now with these “disabilities”, she depends much more on her friends than before and will never be without somebody else around.
