@Dragonsinc Elves outside of their Kingdom to the south (which is mostly forest) are not uncommon but they tend to be exiles from their Kingdom, The Forests of Alathan or more commonly referred to as Alathan. Elves generally have a love of nature and music. They do make beautiful things whether it's architecture, art, armor, weapons, or music. They are typically devout followers of the Creator and their lore states they were the first race gifted with the ability of an Aedis. They can be proud and stuck up but that is not always the case.
Oh yeah! I forgot to mention in my CS, but I'm thinking her crystal could be on a leather wristband she wears on her sword hand. If that doesn't work, I could make it a necklace or something.

Cassidy is not huge on wielding a weapon, in fact, she generally detests the idea unless it becomes a necessity. Taikingas translates to peaceful and amicable. Many not a sound name for a weapon of destruction but she uses the name as a constant reminder that it should only be used as a last resort and only when beneficially to a good result.
Background: Magic doesn't exist, not in any place but stories, that is. Cassidy grew up knowing this. Heroes were rather found in ordinary people than saviours of myth. Love and Christmas were the closest things to magic. Not like you could blame her parents, they had never known that such things did exist, they were ordinary.
Cassidy grew up in a relatively small community of a couple of thousand inhabitants. There was practically nothing of interest in this town par the nice scenery, and most of the teenagers and young adults would spend their days in the larger, more interesting, town only a short drive away. With little to do, from a young age Cassidy had found her own unique ways of entertaining herself whether it be writing stories in her room or talking to herself as she waded in the lake.
Cassidy never really fit in with the very few kids she lived with so she tended to spend the most time with her older brother and his friends than anyone else. With only a 2 year age gap there wasn't huge varying differences anyway. Recounting her early years would, honestly, only prove lacklustre as nothing seemed to happen in that little town.
That all changed when the two strangers showed up.
Even to this day Cassidy fails to know how they knew of her or who she was but somehow they did. Things seemed to be rather normal one day until she was edging her 12th birthday. She got into a fight with her brother and a blast of wind flew from her fingertips sending him flying to the ground, ultimately resulting in him breaking his arm (luckily nothing more). The confused, and slightly frightened, girl backed into one of the strangers who explained to her what they think she might be and, after a very extended talk with her parents, took her to Aedis Academy
Personality: Cassidy is a rather sweet girl and cares deeply for people, however she is very headstrong and will fight for what she believes in. She can find herself getting into little arguments all over the place and would rather win an argument with an incorrect fact han admit she was wrong. In saying that, however, she generally takes the peacemaker role when others are fighting, eve if it means getting involved in things that she never needed to.
Cassidy is rather insecure in herself and almost fears her power and herself alongside it, albeit having decent control over it. This fear tends to hold her back from her maximum potential. She has a lot of faith in the others, though, and will encourage them in their endeavours. She's generally a friendly person but struggles with her powers. She cares a little too much about what people would think if she showed this though so, although her struggle with her power is obvious, she's too scared to ask for help
I have added a bit to Alexander's story, because I felt that his desire will be vague if I do not show his true ambition, and how he discovered his power. I can also write a short story about how he tamed his horse if anyone want to see.
And wow, the only rare place where I see more females than males. Nothing against it, it's a good thing actually.
@SouffleGirl123 Approved she can be moved to the character tab. @WizardHippo it is still open but I'm hoping to get the first post up tonight or tomorrow. Anyone who does not have a CS up by then is welcome to join but will need to find an appropriate place to smoothly work themselves in.
One thing I wanted to add about the power crystals is it takes time to completely fill them unless one is willing to harm other things. For example, a water Aedis could store power from a nearby stream and if taking a little power here and there it would be a constant source of energy but if the Aedis filled an empty crystal completely full in one go the stream may run dry (either temporarily or permanently) which would affect the ecosystem. Aedis are taught at the academy to be mindful of their actions, they are guardians not special heroes who are more important than those they protect.

He's a bit thrown-together, but I'll develop a better backstory for him soon.
Element: Ice Age:19 Weapon: Ice Staff
Personality:
Liam Wolfe, known as "Wolfe" by his peers, considers himself the epitome of "cool", which is ironic considering how hotheaded he is. He is cocksure and determined, but not really in a snobby way. While is overconfidence often gets him in trouble, he doesn't necessarily consider himself to be above other people, especially other Aegis. As an elf, he is quite used to being surrounded by beauty, and is somewhat obsessed with it. He is good-looking, and he knows it. He's not afraid to talk about it either. But he is just as ready to hand out complements to others. Wolfe is incredibly social and talkative, and he loves to be the center of attention. However, he isn't terribly good at listening. Relying largely on natural talent, Wolfe's passion and recklessness cause quite a bit of concern for his teachers.
History:
Wolfe came to the Academy at age 10, around the same time as most other students. With his raw talent and expressive personality, he quickly rose to the top of his class in both scores and popularity. However, this has not given him much chance to mature. Thought he is 19 now, he has not yet grown up. Despite his power, the mentors have assured him that there is quite a bit f development necessary if he wishes to pass his trails.
