As Serena ran to Jere she saw him and the large wolf that he called his companion put out the burning villagers by kicking dirt on them. She marveled at his ingenuity and was grateful that she had both powerful and resourceful comrades. She noted that Veltis had already made short work of a Lava Demon even in his weakened state.

The beast whisperer looked at her for just a moment with a gaze of determination and then returned to staring at the two remaining lava demons. "Thanks for helping my teammate earlier. I'm Jere." And barely before he could finish his sentence his companion was by his side, eyes on the demons as if glares were daggers,

"And he's Bo."

She reached his side and nodded. "I am Serena Nuias. Its good to meet you," She turned to Bo and nodded at him as well "you as well Bo. It was my pleasure to assist warriors of your caliber." She turned her attention to the two Lava Demons, who with very few villagers left to set ablaze were inching their way towards Serena and Jere. She wielded her sword in both hands and held it just before her face before beginning a prayer.

"Gods of olde, grant me the strength to banish the blights that tarnish your beautiful creation. Help me send them back to the cold pit where they belong. Cut down all Demons in my path! Claíomh Solais!"

A bright blue light appeared around her sword while odd runes appeared along the length of the blade. Serena opened her eyes with determination and turned to Jere. "Please show me that charred sword of yours if you would." She focused on the blade and chanted in a strange language. The soot that covered Jere's sword immediately blew away and it shined a dimmer blue than her own sword. "I've just imbued your blade with holy energy so it should be much easier to slay those creatures now. Be mindful though, they'll spew lava when they die." With that she charged forward, raising her shield to protect herself from the heat and motioned at Jere and Bo to go around while she drew their attention.

Genesis: Tales of Sejan

Serena Nuias had been in the city of Maplestead after hearing that there was an unusual amount of demonic activity affecting its surrounding regions. She had wandered the city for a few days trying to glean information from the inhabitants, but in the end she didn't have to pry too far. Maplestead wasn't just suffering from a small demon outbreak. It was under siege. It wasn't just demons either, there were other beasts running rampant in unusual ways. Even she was aware that she couldn't face this level of demonic activity alone. Then came the crier with his announcement of rewards going to those who could kill the creatures attacking Maplestead. She immediately realized that this was a suicide mission for most, and knew that she had to assist. One of the oaths she had taken when she became a Templar was to protect the weak. Even if the individuals themselves were ignorant, greedy, and detestable; it was her duty. She cared nothing for the gold.

When she arrived at the town square to sign up, she had noticed that more than a few intriguing characters were abreast. Some seemed experienced and cautious, like the tactician and cleric who obviously had several years of experience under their belt each. She had heard what the cleric Aldrial had to say about the pains of healing another, and she shared some of his sentiments but also felt that it was the duty of a healer to bear that pain and anguish. Of course, she didn't think that fools who rushed into the heat of battle should be rewarded for their stupidity, but leaving them to die was like turning one's back on their own calling.

She had also seen several with far less experience but the potential for greatness, and many who simply should not have been risking their lives as it would be fruitless and wasteful. She steeled herself for the horror that would come soon. Earlier in the day she had watched a young girl collapse after running for just a short while and was shocked when she realized that that same girl was going to be facing the horror of battle alongside her. She was almost dead set on protecting that girl, as her kind spirit shone brightly even though her body was weak. In the end she left protection of the girl to the thief who had helped her up in the first place. It seemed apparent that the thief known as Cecilia was attempting to propose to the other girl, as strange as that was. In any case, she was not Serena's responsibility.

She stayed out of sight, and silent for almost the entire morning. When the town crier finally appeared to announce the various teams that would engage the monsters, she was placed with three absolute imbeciles who had no combat experience. She decided it was better to just fight on her own. She paid them off with the bit of gold that she carried on her for emergencies, and they happily obliged after hearing how soon the battle would begin. They were smarter than most, but still cowards. She did not judge them for this though.

~~~~~

The time came for the battle to begin. Serena watched the various teams make their way to the various gates that protected the city, and chose to follow the group heading for the Eastern gate as she felt the presence of a creature that was far more deadly than what any of these peasants were capable of handling even on a good day with the correct equipment and a plan. It had taken several minutes to convince those farmers to return to their homes, and by that time the crowd had scattered and gone to the gates. She rushed as fast as she could to the East Gate, hoping that not too much damage had been done and that the villagers had at least some of their wits about them, but her hope was soon to be crushed.

On the other side of the gate, dozens of the lightly armed villagers ran screaming as a Basilisk tore through the crowd, crushing all in its wake. Several other villagers were being lit on fire by the Lava Demons and the stench and cries of pain that emanated from them lit an anger in Serena's soul at the nobles who sent these villagers to die like dogs. She watched the Beast Whisperer Jere bravely try to save a villager from being trampled, and then noticed the elegant Archer Veltis set up his greatbow to lay siege to the Basilisk. In utter amazement, she saw him loose arrow after arrow into the demon's many eyes, and it finally collapsed to the ground. She stood there stupefied by the sheer skill of the man, but the cries of the maimed and dying villagers brought her back to her senses. She needed to help in whatever way she could.

She ran to Veltis who was now on his knees from the exhaustion of firing that greatbow so many times and helped him to his feet. She then hastily introduced herself so she would not seem rude.

"Hello good Sir, I am Serena Nuias. I would like to further introduce myself, but I feel that now is not a good time. Excellent work with the Basilisk," She smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "That is quite a feat you just pulled off." She then gripped his shoulder tightly and muttered unintelligible words in another language under her breath. A white glow came off of her hand and spread to the tuckered out archer. "That spell should revitalize you just enough so that we may deal with these Lava demons together. The villagers need our help."

With that, she drew her sword from its sheath on her waist and mounted her shield and ran forward towards Jere and his Wolf.

@Aokage You're fine. And far from the only one to not post/not posted in a long time.

Here's a c/p of the most recent list Snarl posted:

Team 1: Thief, white mage, Lois Valliere as Prince

Team 2: Adrial Hackis as Cleric, Brennen Garon as Tactician, Spellsword

Team 3: Veltis Arunda as Archer, beast-tamer, Mace Master

Team 4: Spellsword, Astronomer, Templar

So, I think team 3 would need a healer-ish character most. (1 has W. Mage, 2 has Cleric, and 4 has a templar already)

@Dragonite777

Ok! I'm cool with that! :D I'll start right away on Serena's introduction and get battlin!

Genesis: Tales of Sejan

Hey guys sorry I haven't posted yet, I see the battles are already underway and I was wondering where Serena would be needed most. She is a Templar if that helps anything.

Genesis: Tales of Sejan

Name: Serena Nuias

Nicknames/Aliases: None

Gender: Female

Birthday: September 5th

Age: She appears to be in her mid 20's

Class: Templar

Occupation: Exorcist for Hire

Species: Human/Beastkin Raven Hybrid

Appearance: Serena is a lithe, tall woman with a very toned, semi-muscular figure. Her eyes are a dark shade of blue and she has jet black hair that she keeps in a loose ponytail. She usually keeps them concealed but she also has a pair of raven wings that stretch out 8 feet from tip to tip. There are also jet black feathers on her arms, legs, and chest. She used to have smaller feathers growing on her cheeks, but she has torn the feathers out so many times that they don't grow back anymore. In the place of those feathers are two long scars that run down from just below her cheekbones to her chin on each side of her face. She also has a long scar that runs down her shoulder and one on her leg from an accident she had when she was still a child.

Clothing Style:

Armor

She doesn't wear the helmet unless she's in battle. She also wears a tan cloak that covers up her armor and conceals her wings.

Personality: Serena is a hardened fighter on and off the battlefield. Discriminated against by humans for her wings and feathers she has a disdain for most people and will not open up and become friendly to others unless she really knows them. When she does make friends though, she becomes extremely loyal to them and will give her life to protect those she cares about. She has a strong faith in the Gods that was instilled in her by the monks that raised her, and she still prays to them on her journeys. She has a bit of a sharp tongue and will almost always say what she thinks about a person.

Likes: The Summer time, sweet and savory food, people with open minds, praying, flying

Dislikes: Bitter food, large dogs (she was attacked by one when she was younger), ignorant people, Red Hand

Past/History: Serena was raised on the Filicarius Monastery in the Mountains of Shoria after stumbling upon them as a little girl. She was abandoned by her mother and was left as a street urchin, unwanted by anyone. Not even the orphanages would let her in because of her wings and feathers. She was chased out of the city by a mob and wandered into the mountains where she survived on her own for several weeks. When she finally came upon the Monastery, she was starving to death. The monks treated her with compassion and didn't care about the fact she wasn't fully human. They taught her how to read and write and about the Gods, and eventually their own style of demon hunting. At first she was rebellious and tried escaping by flying away, but the attempt went horribly wrong and crashed in the middle of nowhere during the winter. The monks spent 3 days looking for her in below freezing temperatures, trekking a dangerous and steep mountain. When they did finally find her, she was near death. After nursing her back to full health, she began to realize that the monks did truly care about her and took her studies seriously. She was a prodigy in exorcism, and soon after she reached maturity she left to go out into the world and help others by fighting demons wherever they may be. Years later, the Red Hand took an interest in the Monastery where she grew up and in one night wiped them all out. When Serena learned of this, she swore to destroy them all. Her mission is now to kill all demons and all Red Hand.

Excellent! Also will we be fighting NPC Battle Bots as well as each other? I really can't wait for this to start

Genesis: Tales of Sejan

<Snipped quote by Aokage>

Hello there! We are most certainly still accepting. I believe that Templar still has a spot open, yes c:

@Snarl

Awesome! You'll have a CS incoming some time tonight then

Genesis: Tales of Sejan

Are you still accepting character sheets? If so I'd like to reserve the Templar class if there's still a spot remaining. <3

A country just for soldiers.

Name: Hazomaru Nanashi

Age: 19

Country: Japan

Soldier class: Blademan

Other: Hazomaru was born in Japan, and that's about as much as he'll tell you about himself. He's quiet, but blunt when he needs to be and generally doesn't have much interest in others past making sure that a mission is completed. There may be a surprising amount of softness past the cold exterior he puts up usually if you look hard enough though. Hazomaru is adept with just about any weapon, but his weapon of choice is the katana when he has the option. His hobby is art, which he generally keeps secret.

"Why do they even make uniforms this tight? We're supposed to kill the enemy not ourselves."
