Name: Matias Quinn
Age: 26
Appearance: 
Personality: Caring and kind. He refuses to kill anyone or any animal unless it is to spare it more suffering or in self defense, making it harder for him to get food, and making him a de facto vegetarian unless he finds an animal dieing.
Bio: His mother, a charcoal maker, and his father, a hunter, raised him at the edge of the woods just outside of the village. When he was thirteen, however, bandits came and raided the village, and he saw his father die before him. While most people would turn to vengeance because of this, he came to hate death. Every time he saw an animal die, he remembered his father's final breath. He blamed himself, and the horror of that day stuck with him for the rest of his life.
He helped his mother after that, taking over his father's work, though because he hated to see things die, he resorted to gathering and training animals to earn a living. He moved to the city when he turned eighteen, gathering and training animals in the woods and in the city.
He has a pet wolf that he trained from a puppy. It is loyal to him, and knows several tricks.
Skills: Good with a bow, though he uses it only in self defense. He is good at training animals, and knows much about the plants of the forest, including what's edible and which plants have medicinal properties.
Equipment: Hunting longbow, hunting knife, quiver with 30 arrows, backpack with camping supplies, satchel with a mortar and pastel and medicinal herbs.
What element will you be assigned to teach you balance?: Death
Why did the monks assign you that element?: You must not fear death so much. Sometimes it is necessary. Even your wolf must kill in order to survive.

Personality: Evelina is exactly like the element that was assigned to her. She is very hot headed and fiery, but she can be calm and collected if need be. She has a very short fuse when it comes to anger and she isn’t afraid to say her opinion of anyone on any subject. She tries to keep calm when she gets made, but if she becomes completely silent, you will need to run away. Fast.
Bio: Evelina's infatuation with fire began back when she was only three years old. She lived just outside the village and they had a wood burning oven. She would sit in front of that oven every day and watch the fire dance and twist in front of her. Everything changed, though, when that oven caught fire in the middle of the night. Her house went up in flames rapidly, killing her two younger sisters and one of her older brothers. She has burns on her right hand from trying to pull free her family’s dog from the building, which she managed to do. After the house burnt down, Evelina didn’t see fire as beautiful anymore. She saw it as deadly and horrid. Her family began to rebuild the house, but she stayed away from the wood burning oven again.
Skills: She is very good with knives. She is also good and close, hand to hand combat as well as acrobatics. She is athletic. She is also very good with children and loves to be around them. She is good at gardening as well, and also sword fighting.
Equipment: She has a pair of double katanas that she got from her father when she was seventeen. She also has a backpack full of knives and survival supplies. She never feels like she needs a lot of stuff.
What element will you be assigned to teach you balance?: Fire
Why did the monks assign you that element? Fire does not only destroy, but it creates life as well. Look at the might redwood tree. If the fire does not kill the young plants around it, then the redwood would not have enough nutrients to grow big and strong. It would be contesting for the ground it feeds from.
