[Lord of Evil]

Tobias

Name: Tobias Greenwood
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 17
Major: Light arms/Ranger
Familiar: None

Appearance: Tobias is a slender but well-built youth, a little taller than average, with light brown hair and soft hazel eyes. His looks are a grade higher than what can be expected for his social background, but the clothes he wears are often worn down and patchy, reflecting his circumstances.

Personality: Tobias is pragmatic, cautious, and downright miserly at times, but very straightforward in his approach. He tries his best to use what he has to move towards his goals, but his nature leads him to sometimes miss the opportunity to take initiative. He's not one to dwell on his mistakes, however. He takes it all in stride and moves on, so that he isn't weighed down by his past.

Bio (it's long)

Tobias was born to a large but poor family, and as is often the case in such families, they are very close with each other. His father was a hunter, who hunted animals from the nearby forest for food and money. The children who could work also helped to scrape together what little wealth they could. The family lived happily together, but they knew that their situation was tenuous.

One day, the worst happened. Tobias' father was injured in a hunting accident. His injury prevented him from going out to hunt for the forseeable future, which spelled disaster for the family. Worse yet, the eldest siblings had gone out to make their fortunes in the wider world. And thus, at the tender age of 13 years old, young Tobias had to take up the bow and fill the space. At first, he wasn't very good. His archery was fine and he had help from his father, but Tobias' father had little education, and didn't make the best teacher. He couldn't help being worse than his father, he didn't have the years of practise needed for an experienced hunter. Nevertheless, the family would suffer if he couldn't hunt better game. Recklessly, Tobias headed into the forest to force himself to become a better hunter.

He ran for hours before realising he had forgotten to bring arrows. It was another few minutes of walking before he realised he was lost. But standing in place wouldn't do anything, so he kept walking. Soon, he came across an oddity; a strange house in the middle of the forest. Inside was an old man wearing a strange robe made of leaves. More importantly, the man was tending to a pot of soup. Tobias stood at the doorway, unsure of whether or not to go in, but the old man noticed and gestured invitingly. He shared his soup with the boy and listened to Tobias' tale. Once they were done with the soup, the old man sent Tobias on his way with directions out of the forest. As he left, Tobias turned to thank the old man, who smiled and said he was welcome back any time.

Tobias visited quite often. As it turned out, the old man was a druid. He taught him many things about the forest, such as the habits of animals, which plants were edible, and how to set traps, among other things. He even noted that Tobias had some talent for earth magic, and taught him a little of what he knew. How to shift the earth to cover his tracks, how to use dust to cover his scent, and how to coat his arrows with the power of stone. The most important thing the druid taught him, however, was how to respect the forest - how the forest was a living ecosystem, and how he was a part of it. Under the druid's tutelage Tobias became a great hunter, capable of providing for the family and then some. Money was also coming in from his siblings, so things were going quite well for the family. His father had recovered somewhat, and though he couldn't hunt, he could do other work. Tobias was content to continue hunting for the family, but it seemed they had other ideas.

One day, his family confronted him with a letter. An acception letter from Alveos adventure academy. They had submitted an application in his stead, and it had been accepted. At first Tobias was shocked, but they had good reasons. 4 long years had passed since he began hunting, and his youth was quickly passing him by. There was more to the world than this, and they wanted him to experience it. He was still hesitant, until his master appeared. He told him there was nothing more he could teach Tobias, but the boy had more potential. He urged him to accept; the family was doing well enough financially and he should make the most of his own life. Tobias relented, reluctant as he was. It was already paid for, after all, and he didn't want their efforts to go to waste.

Emiimmi

Name: Emiimmi (Em-ee-iym-me) Goes by Emi

Gender: Female

Race: Beastfolk / Fairy

Age: 35

Major (Primary/Specialization): Mage / elemental

Familiar: Hummingbird (Female). It has a blue head that transition to green down its body, white underside. It can sense distress among animals and plants, as well as teleport very short distances.

Appearance: As a fairy she is about 5 inches tall. She is capable of changing her size to be around 3 feet, though she isn’t able to freely fly in that form. She is of slim body shape resembling a teenage girl. She has red hair that turns lighter near the ends and purple almost blue colored eyes. Her hair reaches her upper back. She usually doesn’t do anything special with her hair outside of putting in a ponytail. Her wings are swallowtail shaped, mostly transparent with sparkled blue veins. She normally dresses in a leotard like outfit with a low cut back for her wings and a short flared skirt. She is usually barefoot, but will wear flats on occasion.

Bio: Emiimmi once lived in a large colony of other fairies deep in a vibrant forest filled with ancient and young trees alike. This forest originated and continued to branch outside from where the wood plane was created. The colony of fairies lived in one of the larger ancient trees, one that grew immensely over many of the others. By no means was it the largest, but it was large enough to carve homes into it and for it to still thrive. It was known as Everbole.

The fairies there tended to the plants and animals, cultivating new sprouts so they could compete against the larger established woodland, and keeping the grounds clean. They also tended to the dead so that nature would be given back which it gave. Those who did not fly the forest made homes of Everbole, or taught young fairies and told stories of the world. The colony’s claim to fame came mostly from their medicine. From salves that could repair damaged plant life to serums that cured infectious diseases within the wildlife, many of the fairies of Everbole would even make

Emiimmi was a wandering spirit. She would have rather play than to assist or learn. Yet despite her aversion she was curious, especially towards the world outside of the forest. She played her part when it came to gathering or treating the injured, but most of the time she would be seen darting around different parts of the forest along with one of their hummingbirds, used to help keep an eye out for any distress. The hummingbird had taken a strong liking towards Emiimmi and she had done the same to it. They would have plenty of fun racing each other and drinking nectar. She fondly refers to it as Mimi.

During one of these play sessions, they were racing through the trees when suddenly Mimi suddenly stopped and darted towards the upper canopy. Emiimmi took notice and chased it up there. Once she got through the initial branches she was met face to face with an elf. She had no idea he was there at all. Startled by the sudden appearance of a face larger than her body, she momentarily forgot how to fly and fell. The elf caught her, apologizing and inquiring her condition. Regaining composure, Emiimmi demanded to know what was he doing there. He explained to her that he was chasing a cause for a blight that had infected part of the forest. She had been aware of the blight being told it was isolated to a clearing. The elf explained that it was not. Still resting in his hand, he climbed a bit farther up over the trees and pointed west. From up here she could see Mimi hovering in place looking directly towards the direction of the clearing. Several of the trees that surrounded it had blackened as though they had been burned, their leaves shriveled, scattering in the wind. The elf further explained that he was not sure exactly what was causing it, but had several theories of its origin. If all went well, his theories would be correct and he could stop it. He carefully placed Emiimmi on the branch next to him and he departed. Taking flight once again, Emiimmi watched the elf quickly dart from tree to tree towards the blight.

Several weeks after her encounter, the blight had been cured and the surrounding area restored. For the moment, things seemed peaceful, but soon that blight reoccurred. Emiimi learned through the grapevine that the elf had come from central Alveos, the heart of the world in which the forest grew towards. She wondered if it would be possible for that elf to come back to cure the blight once again. She was told that the elf was an adventurer. He had come on his own merits to help in the time of need, no one sent him. She was also told not to worry, that elf was not the only one. Others like him have learned, grown and adapted to lend aid to life of all kinds. The world is much larger than just the forest. A time would come where if needed another would come to lend aid.

This information had changed her perspective. She had only known her life in the forest, and had not given a thought about what lay outside of it. Thoughts of her encounter with the elf, the blight, and the wonder of what exactly is out there and what she can do flooded her mind. She started to take the lessons she was taught to heart. She would listen intently to the stories the elders had about encounters with humans cutting timber, sylphs flying adventures, and the elves helping to keep every living being at peace.

Finally she thought it was time for her to see it for herself. Several times since then adventurers had gone through the forest for one reason or another and Emiimmi felt it was time to join them. She had never really heard of a fairy leaving the forest to attend the academy, but she was sure many have before her. Adventuring was not something one would advertise, as least so thought Emiimmi. For once she had an interest over playing around.

Personality: She is very playful to a point where she can come off as a little annoying. She does not have a strong sense of personal space. One of the more annoying things she does is making off with small items that belong to others either to be playful or out of curiosity. She is easily amused. She is a little on the naïve side trusting everyone she meets instantly until they prove to be untrustworthy after the fact, and even then is quick to forgive.

Eliyen Patris

Name: Eliyen Patris
Gender: Female
Race: Winter Elf
Age: 17
Major (Primary/Specialization): Mage (Cosmic and Arcane)
Familiar (optional): (A white snow hare with a crystal-like horn in the middle of her forehead. Can use a bit of Ice magic.)
Appearance (Pictures and/or descriptions are acceptable.):

If you want an image

Eliyen is a very pale winter elf with long silver hair and bright yellow eyes. She has a slim body, but slightly small for her age. She is often seen wearing large coats, large earrings and a tiara that seems to be quite pricey.

Bio: Eliyen has always lived in the middle of riches. Her father, Faelyn, a diplomat for the ice realm, was always happy to bring Eliyen new things from his travels through the realm, but her mother, Ellarin, was always quick to teach her that she couldn't take the things she had for granted and that there were others in the world that had much much less. They were good parents to her. While Faelyn was away from home on his job, Ellarin made sure to almost always be watching her daughter, as well as teach her some arcane magic.

Eliyen would also sometimes travel with his father to the realm of ice, where she saw the most amazing things and creatures. It was on one of these travels, that she met with Kalia, a snow white hare with a single crystal horn in the middle of her forehead. The two appeared to enjoy each other's company, and from that day forward, they were inseparable.

On that same trip, when they were about to return home, her caravan was suddenly attacked by an ice ghost, an elemental that had been cursed. Her guards fought well against the creature, but they were loosing. Faelyn hugged his daughter close and waited for the beast to come after them, until they both heard even more cries of battle. Adventurers had found the caravan being attacked and were now driving the beast to a corner. They eventually managed to corner it until an angel descended from the skies and finally helped remove the ghost.

This moment stuck with her for a long time until, when she came of age, during the middle of dinner, she stood up from her chair, looked at her parents and said... "Mom, Dad... I want to be an adventurer."

Personality: Despite her life in the middle of riches, Eliyen is far from a spoiled brat. She enjoys listening to other people's issues and tries to help them in the best way she can. She is often calm and collected, except when she sees a fluffy animal. When this happens, her attention is turned only to that animal and she can't help it but approach it to pet it. Beastfolk aren't safe from this as well, as she will almost instantly try to pet said beastfolk if they are fluffy enough or have fluffy parts.

Daria

Name: Daria daughter of Mikhai and Polina, Pet/Bodyguard (depending on who you ask) of Eliyen
Gender: Female
Race: Beastfolk - Leopard (I'm going to include my interpretation of the bonuses and maluses this confers in Daria)

• Pound for pound, leopards are the strongest big cat. Daria is no different. Despite standing only at five foot six, she has explosive strength of someone much larger. Although not wielding supernatural strength, she can run, jump, punch, and lift like the best of Olympians. While not as short of endurance as her larger cousins and able to walk long distances, going at her max for over a minute exhausts her and she would be on the ground wheezing after three. Additionally, she has a rather long recovery time compared to normal humans, so even if both parties exhausted themselves it is unlikely . An intelligent opponent will exploit this by forcing Daria to exhaust herself before reaching them.
• Among big cats, leopards are the best climbers bar none. They even haul prey animals up to three times as heavy as they are into trees with little effort. Daria can grab a fully grown man in one hand and use her legs and her other hand to climb like she's in Assassin's creed - and even be somewhat quiet when doing so.
• While leopards aren't the least social animal, they certainly aren't pack animals like Lions. Daria typically chooses a few, close friends, but begins to become confused as that social web grows and starts to become defensive. She wouldn't really ever be able to understand ideological issues and tends to just go along with what her friends say. If Daria and her ancestors had grown up in complete isolation, it is unlikely they would be able to sustain civilization or build cities.

Age: Late Teens
Major: Warrior (Green "Knight", combines nature abilities with her combat)
Minor: Mage (Summoning, although primarily ties in with Green "knight")
Familiar: Snowy, a small, white butterfly.

Appearance (Pictures and/or descriptions are acceptable.): Standing at five foot six, Daria's figure is lean, fit, and slightly muscular. With white hair and slightly tanned skin, the only things normally revealing her beastfolk origin are her two leopard ears distinguishable by the black spots on them, her golden feline eyes with slit pupils, and a tail waving behind her. It's not unusual to find her in simple, if not dirty dress, faring more simple and tough materials like leather over cloth, although she does wear a decorative collar with house Patris' coat of arms upon it. In battle she will normally wear half-plate, and if she stays in a fight for a while her features being to look more ... beastly.

Bio [may fill in later]: Daria was born into a small northern tribe, in the outskirts of the Ice Realm where the fields are snow for most of the year. With her parents, she stalked, ambushed, and hunted her prey. They would contact civilization mostly to trade, offer up their own services as mercenaries, and to report issues noticed on the outskirts. She celebrated, trained, and practiced with her tribe, and expected them to take care of her when her parents left for their adventuring missions. The pair of them dealt with an ice ghost along with a few other adventurers, and apparently they rescued a fairly high profile diplomat by the name of Faeylen Patris. He was so impressed that he requested they send someone to guard his daughter soon after she declared her (perhaps naive) desire to adventure.

With a daughter around the same age, Daria's parents recommended her and soon had sold her to the diplomat for a rather substantial sum of money and a guarantee of good treatment. Daria was surprised by the news, but really was more annoyed at being pulled away from the tribe than an ideological discomfort with the idea of technically being a slave - it wasn't uncommon for parents to get rid of their younger children among the tribe in a similar manner when it had grown a bit too large, and ultimately the funds would help the tribe continue in the future.

Daria met up with Eliyen about half a year before leaving to allow the pair to adjust to eachother, and then the two of them headed towards the academy. Daria finds herself respecting Eliyen as the leader, even if she is concerned abouthe girl's lack of experience.

Personality: Proud, if not extremely so. She likes to be well dressed in her own barbarian fashion, as if always prepared to fight those duels that make her (literally) chirp with excitement - though she has recently picked up an interest in more fine sorts of dress and makeup after spending time with her mistress. She isn't a social engineer and she knows it - she trusts the friends she has to not misdirect her, although she probably wouldn't really understand if she was. When she's uncomfortable or upset, she tends to climb up to high places and treat them like her own private security blanket. That security blanket is employed virtually every time Eliyen finds another beastfolk thats just a bit more furry than she is and steals all the attention from herself - Daria would never admit that it bothered her, though, if she's even aware why.
