Sacrifice

Ugh I know right? xD But hey, 6/7 characters posted is a good start. I'm so psyched!

Aww! It always sucks letting a favorite OC go. I don't think I was involved with the timeline that Paige was in. Was she an Ice archon?

-----[Planet: Neodomus] [Location: Jaspae’s Capital Castle]----- 5 minutes after time warp

As two points in time collided together, reality split apart. A violent, yet imperceptible, cosmic ripple expanded from the epicenter and reached into dimensions beyond. The resulting reverberations tore through the air like a lightning bolt, causing a cacophony to ensue as the echo bounced off the lofty halls of the marble castle. A woman dressed in a light, flowing gown glided along the bright sunlit corridor, oblivious to the noise, yet highly aware that something was not right. She slowed her pace, and she looked around her in confusion. She could not recall how she got there or where she was going; it felt as though she had appeared all at once –just poofed into existence. Even more disturbingly, she couldn’t recall who she was. Her mouth hung agape as she warily circled around the immense hallway. A few terrifying moments of confusion passed before her memories came slamming back into realization.

Maya crumpled to her knees. Swirling images of blood, tortured faces, and carnage infiltrated her mind. Just mere moments ago, she had been aboard the Leviathan. The nightmare was fragmented, but she recalled seeing her fellow Archons dying right in front of her. One by one, the light left their eyes. Then, as if by some twisted joke, the deceased were brought back as undead warriors and turned against those remaining of their own. The Archons had failed, and in the final waning moments of battle Maya faced the inevitability of oblivion. Soaked in viscera, only some of which was hers, Maya crawled across the crimson-coated floor of the ship while death played at her heels. Her vision slowly faded to black. The last thing she remembered was reaching towards her dearly beloved –Paul, the Archon of Time.

A guttural scream flowed from her lungs and collapsed into ragged sobs. Her whole body shook. The memories, in tandem with the physical exhaustion from the time jump, cracked her morale. She pounded her fist on the smooth marble floor of the castle she grew up in. She was alive, sure. But her friends were either dead or lost.

“No, no, no,” she moaned as she doubled over on her side. Realizing what Paul had done, she clutched her sides as a wave of nausea overcame her. Even for a seasoned Archon, the extent of power that Paul would have had to exert in order to send her back a few months in time was critically dangerous. She was in hysterics. I have to know that he is alive and okay. A time warp of that magnitude…I wouldn’t be surprised if his brain turned into mush or exploded altogether. I have to find him.

Maya must have screamed again because a royal guard came charging around the corner. His heavy armor clanged obnoxiously with each rapid footstep. Concern donned his brow. His mouth shouted words. They didn’t make sense. Maya stared at him. His mouth kept moving. She looked at the floor.

“No, I am fine,” she replied solemnly, “Leave and tell no one of this.” The guard contemplated for a second before obediently leaving her alone.

Maya, get up off the floor. You can’t do this here. A familiar voice warned her.

Yes, Andromeda, Maya acknowledged.

As much as the distressed Water Archon wanted to lie on the floor forever, she knew that Andromeda was right. She was back on her home planet in the castle that she grew up in. Following the untimely death of her parents, she was bequeathed the throne. One might think that this would be a safe place for her; however, a malicious group of rich aristocrats, known as the Council of Nobles, was after her head and crown. If history was going to repeat itself, she only had a few days before the Nobles would try to discreetly assassinate her. She shuddered as she recalled being tied to an anchor and dropped into the watery depths.

I have to get off of this planet. Immediately.Maya thought as she climbed to her feet and headed towards her private quarters. Determined to reunite with her fellow Archons, she wiped away the tears and held her chin high. It was time to start round two.

Sacrifice

Name: Maya Lavandula
Age: 27
Archon of: Water

Maya's Face

Physical Attributes
Apearance: With long muscular legs and a toned torso, Maya’s physique resembles that of an Amazon warrior. She is roughly 5’11 and 140 pounds. Her posture is upright and commanding due to years of royal etiquette training. Coming from an alien race, her features are slightly more angular than those of a human. In addition, her hair ripples down her back like a silver waterfall, and her eyes are piercing pools of aquamarine.
Physical Weaknesses: Low pain tolerance…definitely still a princess in that regard. Maya is easily broken if the ones she loves are in danger, causing her to be reckless and self-destructive at times. She is agile, but not fast. She can’t run long distances without tiring out easily. Also, she sucks at shooting guns –basically has the aim of a blind person, so hit the deck if you see her holding a gun.
Physical Strengths: Years of self-defense training are ingrained in her brain, allowing her to excel in hand-to-hand combat when pitted against someone her own size. While she is slow on land, she is incredibly fast in the water due to her Archon abilities. Maya can also hold her breath for long periods of time underwater. Her strong upper body and powerful legs allow her to climb easily. Archon related strengths include her being able to control the element of water; she can lift it, move it, shape it, and can absorb it from anything…even living beings.

Mental Attributes
Personality: By now, Maya has been through a lot. While she has never been overwhelmingly bubbly or flamboyant, she was much cheerier in her youth. The events that have taken place shattered her like a piece of pottery; the cracks may be glued back together so that she resembles her old self; however, the scars are still present. Despite being broken, she hangs onto the regal elegance of her past life. She continues to uphold a level of clear-headedness and retains her penchant for logic. Unlike the others, she isn’t spurred on by revenge or tainted by cynicism. If anything, this whole ordeal has made her more compassionate and loving towards the ones she holds most dear which compels her to fight harder than ever before.

Likes: Archon of Time, swimming, drinking, fluffy clouds, waterfalls, starry nights
Dislikes: Being alone, being tickled, feeling helpless, fire, nightmares
Phobias: Losing the ones she loves. Letting people down. Being left behind. Burning to death. Falling from great heights. Mind control.

Background
Biography: Maya hails from the planet Neodomus (New Home) which is inhabited by aque sapiens, a sister species to homo sapiens (There is a huge backstory to this planet, but that is a story for another time).

Maya was born into royal blood. Her father reigned as king over the territory of Jaspae, and her mother, unbeknownst to Maya, was the godlike Archon Aquarius. Her early childhood years brimmed with fond memories as her parents lavished love and attention upon the young princess. Unfortunately, that cheerful chapter of her life ended abruptly at the age of seven when an unknown villain slashed both of her parents’ throats while they slept.

The responsibility of the throne was thrust upon Maya like a yoke upon an ox. While there was a Council of Nobles established in order to help guide the young ruler, they were anything but helpful as they paraded under the pretense of good intentions. Maya saw them for the vile creatures they were; greed and lust for power saturated every fiber of their beings. For years, she struggled to maintain control over her country while simultaneously undergoing private lessons in both scholarly subjects and physical combat. She loved her country, but she abhorred the crushing societal pressures which accompanied the crown and throne.

Once again, Maya’s life changed drastically when a mysterious man by the name of Marcus Skylark washed up on her castle’s beach. Mistaken as a spy, Marcus, the Archon of Light, was brought before Maya. Upon realizing that the young ruler was the daughter of the Archon Aquarius, Marcus propositioned a ludicrous story wherein Maya was some magical descendant capable of wielding great power. Furthermore, the strange man spoke of a war going on…one that involved her parents’ murderer. It took quite a bit of convincing, but Maya ultimately came to terms with her destiny as she agreed to go with Marcus on the Leviathan.

After embarking with Marcus and the other Archons, Maya went from spoiled royalty to skilled warrior. Imbued with the elemental power of water, she felt unstoppable (and more than a little bit cocky). The Archons easily overcame the initial scrimmages with minimal damage. Yes, the Archons were good, great even, but little did they know that there was someone so much better and so much worse than they could have ever imagined. It was a losing battle. Friend by friend, comrade by comrade, Maya witnessed the Archons die, a piece of herself dying with each one. During the final battle, the Archons of Light, Time, and Water fought ferociously, like wild animals trapped in a corner, but it was to be the end of another chapter. As they faced the permanent oblivion of death, the Archon of Time made a last-ditch effort to save them all by sending them back to the beginning. Humbled by the horrors she experienced, Maya enters a new timeline with the determination to save the ones she loves and conquer Ragnarok once and for all.
