Still here, sorry missed the opinion throwing stage though! Movement is a good idea generally though!

Knights of TERA (Modern Fantasy Monster Slaying)

Hearing about the incident Alexandr's brain went into autopilot mode. He was already wearing his usual fighting gear, so he retrieved his heavy limbed bow. He fluidly slid the bow into a sheathe which he wore clipped behind his waist. The bow was extremely precious to Alexandr, and he knew every inch of its structure, without it he'd be lost. His hands then rapidly picked and filled a light quiver with a variety of arrows, some where broad headed with bone points, others where thin and metallic, like huge fletched needles. As he was doing this he thought about the situation and Kalu's almost supernatural prediction. Children were a tricky one, they were terrible hostages and far less predictable than adults due to their limited understanding of most situations, it was an unfortunate coincidence that they were such a common monster target. This train of thought lead Alexandr to run a quick scan of his knowledge of monsters, trying to find a modus operandi match. It could be a Lamashtu, which would be bad news, as they had a tendency to eat children, but lion-donkey headed eagle demons were unusual even for TERA. The torn off back door pointed more towards an ogre to him, although the child loss and water proximity meant that there was a possibility of kelpies or even kappas. "If we were making bets, than I would put my money on an ogre." Intoned Alexandr through the thick accent, as he strode towards the door. "In which case we're looking at no hostage taking, probably high casualties already, fun, fun, fun."

Are multiple characters ok at the moment, and if so could I possibly make a Tatasuko clan member?

Aleksandr kept a relatively low profile in the corner of the room. He preferred to listen than to talk in most situations. His face was hidden behind a heavy tome, simply titled 'Advanced Organic Chemistry Unit 5'. There had been a bit of lull recently, a change of pace from normal. He took these lulls in his stride, they gave him time to indulge his other interests, well at least when he wasn't engaged in non hunting work. This was city life, infinite information at his finger tips, it was impossible to get bored. The boss returned though and with him a lot of noise. It was a tempo change but not unwelcome. He didn't currently have anything to report, the uneventfulness was leading to a feeling of unproductiveness but that didn't mean there wasn't anything to hear. There was one report of disappearances of young women, but he had discovered that that was human activity, not even warlocks at that. It was bad but it wasn't really the Knights' remit and he had already informed the police. The pleasantries of the other knights' were suddenly interrupted by Ayashe in her traditional style. However she passed over him when making her round of insults. "Ayashe, you're making me feel excluded, what did I do wrong?" Alexandr joked through his thick Russian accent. "Are you sure you don't need someone to walk with you in case you run in a child chomping demon?"

By the way will our light powers develop over the course of the RP?

Ito Tazaki - The Exploding Blade

Land of Rain and Land of Wind Border, Sandy Mesa Area - Morning

Ito had always been a morning person. He woke up at the crack of dawn and slept extremely lightly, even for a ninja. It was raining heavily, but the sun glared through, resulting in a shimmering rainbow and bright haze. However Ito didn't have time to meditate upon the beauty of nature. A ninja from the land of the wind struck was unleashing a hail of blows against Ito using a blade cloaked in wind style chakra, a jutsu he had been caught off guard by before. However having ascertained the reach of the technique Ito was able to float just outside of it, being caught only by the spray of rain it created. He calmly waited for his opponent to overextend, and place himself off balance.This opportunity came as his opponent made an aggressive lunging strike. Ito slid past the attack, as fluid as water, and into extreme close range and then unleashed hell. First a solid blow to the jaw connected with his opponent, spinning him further off balance. This blow was followed almost instantaneously by a water shotgun technique from his other hand, that tore holes in the unfortunate enemy. Ito finished him off without hesitating by drawing and decapitating the staggered opponent in a single motion, using the Shibuki's razor sharp cutting edge. Lately there had been an increase in this kind of fighting for Ito. An increase in the number of burgeoning clans meant more competition. More competition meant more desperation and when desperation set in morals went out the window. As such many of the new ninja clans were turning to bandit activities to 'supplement' their income. It made travelling more dangerous for most but so far most of the clans who had to resort to this behaviour were the weaker ones who were being pushed out of business. Not the opponents Ito was looking for. Ito was quickly growing bored of these encounters. He didn't understand why the seven swordsmen weren't using their name to its full extent. A company with their reputation should be able to quickly gain political and economic influence through organised activity on the battlefield. However the nomadic nature of many of the members, and the lack of the binding influence of the clan meant it was difficult for them to mobilise or coordinate. This problem wasn't helped by the fact they didn't have a 'leader', or any infrastructure at all to speak of. They were just good at fighting and perhaps little else. Still a hunger for fighting with his life on the line had been growing, deep and hot in Ito's stomach. He set out looking for Rachi, his current travelling companion. Rachi's sellsword nature would hopefully mean that he's be game for hunting bigger prey.

Lily returned his politeness with a look that would have been too awful for a convicted mass murderer. He was a little taken aback. He understood that he was asking for something important but there was a certain underlying violence to the glare she gave him, like he was basal and almost nauseating to her. At least that was his impression. Then it all became clear. "Who was Walden McMillan, and why did you eat him?". Benjamin never forgot a body the maw had consumed. His brain immediately reached deep down and pulled together all the memories of Walden McMillan he had taken in. He could picture the scene perfectly, he had been shot at but he hadn't managed to get a clear look at his attackers face, apart from that he was certain he had left no evidence of any kind, and there hadn't been any other witnesses, it must be her. "I couldn't say that I've eaten anyone." Benjamin knew she'd know he was lying but confessing would be pointless as he hadn't left any evidence, he wasn't about to be perjured."But I do remember a Walden McMillan, he was a start-up alchemist type, thought he'd be able to make significantly more money dealing drugs without going through the Modacci, not giving them a cut would mean he could drop prices and hopefully corner the market. Modacci let him do this for quite a while, my guess would be they were letting him build himself up to make an example out of him. He disappeared even faster than he entered the scene, but that's what happens when you get on the wrong side of the Modacci." Benjamin's tone was calm and even, he was hoping for a favour and this was old information, so he'd give it to her for free. Besides coroners usually fell into two types, those 'friendly to' (and thus left alone) by the Modacci, and those protected by The Dome (increasing their life span by a bit while letting them keep their morales). He'd be curious to see which one Lily was closer to.

"Do you mind if I take one of these bodies, once you've finished your job?" Enquired Benjamin, in a measured polite tone. "I'm with the Dome of Protectors, here's my ID" He continues, smiling and quickly flashing his special agent badge. "The information recovered from these could definitely come in useful with future operations. All for the good of Pyrrhic city right?" His perfect tone slightly tailed off as he saw a tall man clothed in a dark Italian suit outside. He could swear that he had seen him before, in the 'memories' of a corpse he had consumed earlier. Having said that the Modacci employed a lot of people, Either way he had started reaching for his camera mid-sentence.

Here's a draft cs let me know if it's too close to your history, or if you don't like any part of it! I'm flexible :) . Name: Aleksandr Yasheyev Age: 16 Rank: II Nationality: Russian (Buryat) Weapon: Heavily recurved Bow

Gear

Gear: Small quiver containing many arrows, a selection of 'lucky' items (the luck is entirely attributed to them by Aleksandr, the items are largely small things he's found in the wilderness such as vertebrae, amber and teeth)

appearance

Personality

Personality: Aleksandr has all the untamed fury of a tempest, and a strong force of will. He values self-sufficiency strongly but realises that making friends is necessary to survive. He enjoys traveling and wandering, and spends an equal amount of time wandering in his own mind, something he’d call meditation but is closer to daydreaming. He is passionate and will talk fast, and enthusiastically about anything he finds interesting.

History

History: Aleksandr hails from one of the more remote villages of Siberia, which makes it among the most remote places in the world. He is the only child from a family of shamans. Being raised as a shaman for this village is intensive. You are the heart and soul of the village, and as such you must be both a polymath, able to advise expertly in almost any situation, but you must almost be highly resilient, as a weak body means a weak mind. This was a role that Aleksandr was born for, he took to it like a fish to swimming, every waking moment he spent training to take on the mantle of responsibility from his mother, the previous shaman. He hunted every day, learning the ways of the wild. It was on the edge of life and death, where he was almost starving and down to a single arrow when he was in fact most alive. His resilience and his connection to the living world marked him out as a natural shaman. However when he turned 12 he was recruited to TERA, who had discovered his family's natural affinity to the light. Aleksandr agreed with his mother that should anything happen to her he would return immediately, and he explained to her that he saw being part of TERA as his path in life, and that his travels would be a 'right of passage' for him. It was with this that he left his small village, and was immediately posted to Grayridge. The experiences he has had as a member of TERA have illustrated to him that the world is so much bigger than he had thought but also much more dangerous. HE now realises that to promise a safe return was foolish and he constantly battles with his fear, as he is not yet ready to lay down his life for TERA.

Hobbies

Hobbies: Reading and day dreaming are his consuming passions. Coming into civilisation has opened his eyes to biology and chemistry, or the sciences of life, and he uses most of his spare time studying them. He also tries to keep up with his shamanic training by making a point of visiting the wilderness as often as his work will allow.

Style: Striker

Abilities

Abilities: Uses his power of the light to mimic nature. He moves in combat comparably to a man on horseback (the traditional hunting style of his village) and can shoot very accurately while maintaining high speeds he can also imbue his muscles with light, massively increasing the power of his shots similarly to how insects 'wind up' their legs before they jump.
