Human:
Name: Xander Hollis
Age: 17
Appearance:
Xander Yes, sword is included.
Personality: Xander is a rather moody and surly person generally, mainly because he is socially awkward, especially around girls. He is very serious about his sword training, pouring much of his energy into it. He tends to be a loner, but he really cares for people and has a strong sense of justice. He hates people who are arrogant or cocky, finding them tedious and obnoxious. If he does make friends, he would do anything to keep them safe from harm. He can be a bit blunt and straightforward, bordering on cruel sometimes, though it is not on purpose, but rather due to his limited social interactions. The only person that he is completely comfortable around is his twin sister, M Maya.
Clubs: Martial Arts Club(Captain), Ultimate Club.
Brief Backstory: Xander has always had a drive to protect others and exact justice and even retribution upon those who deserve it. As young children, he and his sister were both outcasts and even bullied by their peers. Xander grew to resent this treatment greatly, feeling as if there should be someone to punish those who had treated him and his sister so cruelly. This anger and drive to protect caused him to take a keen interest in the martial arts, especially sword fighting, and he poured himself into his training, becoming more and more skilled. Finally, he and his sister both agreed to attempt to summon a being from the other world to form a contract with. The results reflected perfectly their individual struggles and the strength of body and mind that drove Xander.
Contracted Being:
Name: Adrasteia
Type: Goddess
Personality: Adrasteia, better known as Nemesis, is the goddess of Revenge and Retribution. She is rather serious, taking her role very seriously. She has virtually no sense of humor, seeing laughter or fun as a waste of time, and she often berates or scolds Xander if he spends too much time "goofing off". She is extremely honorable, but possesses a fierce and dark temper when angered. She can be harsh, but she truly desires to see Xander reach his full potential, and is a driving force behind his continued dedication to his training. She is normally polite, calm and collected, except when she witnesses injustice or cruelty, then she grows very angry very quickly. She even scolds Xander if she believes he was unnecessarily unkind to someone. She has little patience for foolishness or silliness.
Powers: Xander has only two abilities that he gains from Adrasteia when not fused. Firstly, he is completely immune to physical pain, though the effects on his body still occur. This allows him to push himself beyond what a normal human could endure, both in battle and training. Secondly, he has the ability to teleport to any distance he can see with his eyes instantly and in rapid succession. This makes him almost impossible to hit with melee or ranged attacks, though he is still vulnerable to area of effect type attacks, for example, a windstorm. He must be looking at the spot where he wishes to teleport, however, which limits his capabilities(he can't teleport backwards at all) and somewhat allows his opponents to track his moves by watching his eyes.
Fusion:
Fused Xander Xander's hair stands up and his ears grow pointed when he fuses with Adrasteia. In this form, his reflexes are astounding and his speed unmatched, though he loses his teleportation ability. However, in it's place he gains the ability to "feel" his surroundings, giving him pretty much perfect knowledge of the positions of every object, person, being, or effect within 50 yards in every direction. This makes him practically impossible to surprise, bordering on temporary Omniscience.
Summon:
Adrasteia Her sword isn't a katana though, it's a western sword and looks like this.
Adrasteia's sword In her summoned form, Adrasteia possesses both the teleportation and omniscient abilities, though her teleportation ability is complete, allowing to her teleport to any place she can imagine in her mind, so long as it actually exists. She cannot use this ability to teleport back and forth from the other realm. She also has another ability that is directly tied to her nature. She can peer into a person's past and view all of the pain and anguish they have caused others to suffer, and then transform that knowledge into a powerful mental attack, ripping into their psyche and causing immense pain. The more pain that the person has caused others, the more powerful the attack becomes. However, using this attack depletes most of her mana, and she must almost always return to the other realm afterwards to recover.

Human:
Name: Maya Hollis
Age: 17
Appearance:
MayaPersonality: Maya is shy and doesn't speak much at all. She is generally emotionally withdrawn, keeping to herself because she fears what others might think of her. However, if someone shows kindness to her, she grows attached to them, and might even begin following them around and watching them, trying (most of the time unsuccessfully) to remain unseen. She is normally gentle and soft spoken when she does speak. She loves nature, especially at night, and will often be found sitting or walking under the stars or in the moonlight. She has a deep love of classical music and orchestra instruments, and if she hears them being played she will almost always seek out the source and then sit and listen quietly, a look of contentment on her face. On the other hand, she hates loud harsh music, and will run away from the sound and even avoid people who she knows plays or listens to that kind of music. She has a secret fascination ant talent with the mystical arts and is quite empathetic about how others are feeling. She possesses great spiritual strength and strength of will, however, and refuses to succumb to the whims of others, fighting back with what little physical strength she has.
Clubs: None, though she sometimes watches her brother practice in his clubs, or sits in on one of the musical clubs.
Brief Backstory: Maya has always had a fear of the anger of others, which was largely due to her childhood. As young children, she and her brother were both outcasts and even bullied by their peers. This is what caused her to become withdrawn and not wish to speak. She really cares for the feelings of others, however, and wishes to be able to soothe or comfort them, though she often doesn't know how. This quietness and desire to calm and comfort others caused her to take a keen interest in the mystical arts, especially tarot and palm reading, though she doesn't often share this interest with others unless she is comfortable around them. When they were 14 years old, she and er brother both agreed to attempt to summon a being from the other world to form a contract with. The results reflected perfectly their individual struggles and the strength of spirit that she possesses.
Contracted Beings:
Name: Nyx
Type: Goddess
Personality: Nyx is the Goddess of the Night, and loves things that are dark and shadowy, yet not malevolent, but rather mysterious, bewitching and soothing. She is graceful and wise, as well as knowledgable of all things horrific and terrible that comes out of the dark, though she despises these things, seeing them as perversions of the creatures in her domain. She is gentle and calm, having a motherly disposition, which can just as easily become maternal rage if Maya is harmed. She possesses great knowledge, but is loathe to share it too much, as she claims "Knowledge has a way of corrupting people, as surely as power does." Nyx has a rather gentle sense of humor, teasing Maya about boys and her shyness. Nyx also is a lover of outcasts and those who have suffered, pitying them and trying to assure them that their pain does not go unseen, that they are not as alone as they seem.
Powers: Maya has perfect night vision, able to see in the dark as perfectly as she does in the day. She is also able to manipulate shadows to a certain degree, cloaking herself in them or even causing them to blind or attack others.
Fusion:
Fused MayaWhile fused with Nyx, Maya's hair turns white and her eyes glow red. In this state, she possesses much greater powers of shadow manipulation, being able to create shadow familiars and black out entire areas with darkness. She also gains the ability to paralyze others with her eyes, though she must maintain eye contact for this to work.
Summon:
Nyx Nyx commands complete power over darkness and the night, able to move in complete silence in the dark, and becoming practically invisible if she wishes. She can form weapons and barriers of shadows and can heal herself while standing in moonlight. She is also able to dispel any sort of illusion or enchantment that affects perception to the eyes. Her most formidable power, however, is the ability to induce sleep in up to an entire city, or focus this ability on one person and cause them to fall asleep indefinitely, sometimes even forever, though she would only use that power on someone she feels should not be allowed to continue roaming the earth. Her sleep power wears off after one hour if used on a large group of people, but if focused on one person it remains until she decides to let them awaken. However, if she judges a person dangerous enough to use her eternal sleep spell, then nothing and no one, not even she, can wake them from their slumber.
Other: Side note: Nyx is the mother of Adrasteia, and the two normally do not see eye to eye, though they do care for each other.
