Well if that is what you think, then you must be under estimating what others can do. Anyways, weapons and abilities nerfed. Most weaknesses from my character's are common sense, just like his secondary weapon, stronger roumds require more time to prepare for shooting. Also, not every witch hunter's main weapon was made of brightstone. Profile is complete.

Yo,still open for casting?Would like to take 2 spots for Witch Hunters.If possible,a support unit for the 3rd perhaps? Name:Snake Valentine Codename(optional):Rail Gunner Age:24 Gender:Male Role/Race:Human,Witch Hunter,Heavy Artillery Gunner Rank:Rook(Though his strength is on par of a Elite Knight(or even a Paladin),his carefree attitude keeps him from being promoted to that point) Location:Living Island(birth place) Weapon: HK 21E "assault" machine gun(Main)  (The bottom of the gun has been modified to fit in the HK79 grenade launcher(shown below),while retaining most of the MG's original functions.The predecessor of the Patriot Battlecruiser/Battleship weapon series.) HK79 grenade launcher(Back up;Used in some of his abilities,namely the Wind Blast and Rail Shot(see below to get the idea).Mind the host G3 rifle;it was attached on the HK 21E MG instead)  Weapon Accessories:Suit Case(The MG's encased inside it) Equipment:Masamune katana(carried as the country's symbolic weapon of a warrior,and therefore rarely used(unless he's under attack while in training),gun maintenance kit(in the event where his gun fails to work properly,he could put up a makeshift workshop and preform emergency repairs). Element:Lightning(natural) and Gale(learning) Occupation:Gunsmith(off duty) Abilities: Samurai Warrior(Non-attacking) - Despite his appearance,he's actually a really strong man,carrying heavy gun and were tougher than most people he came across(he is able to sustain more damage than most Hunters).It is due to the extremely harsh training he received while living in the Living Island,that he gained such strength that exceeds so much,even the training systems at the Sanctuary couldn't do enough.Being such a person,however,he develops a kind of warrior's codes that forbids unfair fight(flanking,backstabbing and something like that);doing otherwise will make him hit his enemies harder than usual(out of his own retribution). Artillery Expert(Non-attacking) - Excelled in artillery weapon training,to the point of reading the enemy's next movements and leads his shots from there(he's trained to lead a quick-moving target,too;they'll had hard time escaping from Snake,but not impossible).Known to never let a enemy survive the shots(if they did,though,he'll fire again till they're gone).Double up as the Lead Shot ability,since he use it on the MG as well.A few did escape from his barrage,though;Snake knew a few good opponents who could see his incoming attacks. Wind Blast(Defensive) - Blast the enemy off with a powerful wind shot,throwing them off course.Being used in defensive(combined with his inability to use Gale in full strength),it deals no damage to them(unless it sends them towards dangerous terrains,like a cliff(which cause them to fall at high height,killing them) or spiked wall traps). Lightning Shot(Weak) - Fires a series of electrical-powered bullets,delivering a cancerous package of damages on whatever it hits(also a small chance of electrocution,stunning them for a short while).Exhausts after the last round is fired(200 rounds at most),or exceeds 3 minutes(which the latter will happen instead should he go all-out),and requires the same 3 minutes to cool down before he could go for another round.(A reference to the PE2's Energy Shot,though it was originally a Earth-based PE) Rail Shot(Strong) - Fires a devastatingly powerful shot that penetrates and destroys anything that comes into its path,dealing heavy damage(along with collateral damages).Requires some time(at least 2 minutes or so;the most is 4 minutes) to charge the round with.As it use a LOT of energy in this attack,he'll become exhausted,and need time(about 5 minutes;less so if he charged less) to recover his strength,leaving him vulnerable.Also,he won't be able to fire Lightning Shot after the Rail Shot,as it'll drain his power even further than it usually takes. Personality:Extremely optimistic,even at the point of giving up.Shows little to no seriousness at all;even if he did,it only lasts for 3 minutes(more so in battle).Has a love-hate relationship with anything he stumbles upon.Reads,watch and play ACG.Extremely obsessed with guns;so much,he loves to spend most of his times at the armory,messing with the guns with his good elven friend Zaka.Passionately hates witches for their doings back at his village(but after a long while journeying,he begins to believes there's a good one out there;now only hates evil witches instead). Bio:A Japanese samurai warrior born and lived at the Living Island.His family runs one of the dojo with very strict way of training new samurai warriors.Anyone born in the island was known to be given harsh training at young age(10 years old at least).Snake,however,exhibits rather extraordinary strength no one has ever shown during the training.Seeing that,his father decides to give him a special training no one else has undergone before(a real dangerous one to that,hence his immense strength).(This was when Snake's 10 years old;he began his special training at 12 when his father discovered his immense strength.) However,as he's about to complete the training,his village was attacked by the witches,causing havoc.Although his family,along with the villagers,held them off well,they suffered severe casualty on both sides.That was 6 years ago,when he's 18.Wanting revenge from what they did,he sets off on the journey to destroy every witch he came across..... 3 years later,Snake ends up at the Siphilys,where he was scouted by the Council for his ability.From there,another batch of training was given to him,and immediately accepted in.His rank rose to Rook shortly thereafter,but remains from there on due to some reasons.Today,he's one of the strongest Witch Hunter,both feared and respected by many,but at the same time,lives off a carefree life with his partner Zaka(one of the reason he remains a Rook,despite having the strength of a Elite Knight).He's known to many of the member as the Rail Gunner due to his Rail Shot ability. Appearance:  Wears a red bandanna with a chrysanthemum emblem on his forehead(designed to match the one from his country) and red trench coat big enough to conceal his things inside. Name:Zaka Rednoz Codename(optional):The Passionate Blacksmith Age:30(appearance)/300(actual age) Gender:Male Role/Race:Elf,Witch Hunter,Sniper Assaulter Rank:Elite Knight Location:Avalon(birth place) Weapon: HK G11(Main;folded when not in use.Loads 48 rounds in each magazine.Usually fires in 3-round burst mode,since it fires faster than full-auto mode.Don't mind the attached knife ;P)  HK Mk.23 .45ACP handgun(back-up)  Weapon Accessories:Pocket Case(which folds out into the HK G11,in the similar fashion to the FMG-9) Equipment:Knife(used in stealth missions),hammer(for blacksmith use) Element:Light and Water Occupation:Blacksmith(off duty) Abilities: Marksmanship(Non-attacking) - Excelled in sniper training,to the point of being able to lead the shots,no matter how harsh the conditions could be. Quickdraw(Non-attacking) - Draws his weapon quicker than anyone else,giving him a opportunity for surprise attack.Since this maneuver alerts everyone within his range,it was only used once.In battle,though,he simply switch to his secondary weapon in a rather quick pull. Flash Bomb(Defensive) - When in bind or surrounded,Zaka releases a powerful flash that blinds everyone within the vicinity(much like a flashbang,minus the bang),allowing them to escape from them.As it affects allies as well,he was advised to warn them before using the ability. Water Assault(Weak) - Fires a series of bullets imbued with water elements.Exhausts after the last round is fired(240 rounds/5 mags at most),or exceeds 3 minutes(which the latter will happen instead should he go all-out),and requires the same 3 minutes to cool down before he could go for another round.The shots deals rather low damages,but the true motive of this ability isn't dealing damages;the shots splash its targets with water,making them a vulnerable targets for Snake's electrical attacks(increasing damages done from Lightning Shot and Rail Shot,since water conducts electric pretty well). Judgement Blast/Judge Light Shot(Strong) - Fires a powerful Light-based shot that goes on a straight line,piercing anything within its firing line.Takes time to charge(at least 1 minutes;3 minutes at most).As it use a LOT of energy in this attack,he'll become exhausted,and need time(about 4 minutes;less so if he charged less) to recover his strength,leaving him vulnerable.More of the Light element version of Snake's Rail Shot,albeit somewhat tighter shot(and no collateral damages done,unlike Rail Shot) and less energy consumption(but also deals less damage).Judge Light Shot was the other name given by Snake,saying that it often reminds him of a song(entitled LEVEL 5-Judgelight-,sung by fripSide) he loves listening to. Personality:A very friendly guy to most people(especially Snake,which he quickly befriended when they found out that they share similar passion towards weaponry and hatred towards witches).Passionately hates witches for their evil doings(like how Reznov hates the Nazi German soldiers for what they did on his Motherland). Bio:A native Avalon blacksmith,and one of the few who could utilize Light element. He joined the Council as a Witch Hunter for 2 centuries,and was one of the best.The loss of his many friends during his stay,however,left him burdened for years,until he met Snake who just recently joined.Sharing what is it to be their pain and passion,the two quickly become close friends,and was never seen working separately since then. Before,he was a blacksmith who made weapons and armors for the Council(which is limited to swords and other melee weapons),but when Snake came in,he was introduced to the new line of weaponry in what Snake called it,firearms.And the first gun he made was the HK 21E machine gun(and later on,the HK79 grenade launcher attachment upon Snake's request).With more and more blueprint designs for new weaponry,he doesn't seem to be able to run out of ideas anytime soon. Until now,he's oblivious to Snake's passion for ACGs(short for animes,games and comics),but he doesn't seem to mind somehow,and he found some of the games Snake played helped a lot in training runs. Appearance:  Alright,it's done now.Yosha! |

Name: Hira Ikou Nickname: Hoshi (Star) Age:26 Gender: Male Role/Race: Kitsune Location: Unknown Weapons: In fox form: Claws and teeth In human from: Polearms, mainly spears and naginatas In hybrid form: All of above Equipment: Hoshi no tama (Star balls): Thirteen balls that he can use to focus his magic Element: Kitsune-bi (Fox-fire) [Fire and Lightning] Occupation: Wanderer Abilities: Crux [Non-attacking]: Most beings are born with singular magic in their bodies Hira Ikou was born with two. Over the years he has learned how to manipulate the elemental balance within himself. There are four states of balance he has been able to achieve. The time needed to change states is 5 seconds, but he can only switch states once every 5 minutes, exception is Balanced. He can revert to Balanced any time. Activating Absolute Equilibrium takes 10 seconds. Balanced: Hira spends most of the time in this state. The most consistent of the states and has no drawbacks. His elements are fairly balanced and the abilities around more rounded. However, one of them is slightly more powerful than other, but the difference is hard to notice. His strength is equivalent of normal human while his speed is slightly higher as he relies more on speed and finesse than brute strength. If he overexerts himself using other states (mentioned below), he automatically reverts to this state. Absolute Fire: In this state, Hira's magical balance shifts completely into fire, making him assume his human form. His human form is wreathed in flames, gains immense physical strength and the ability to perform fire magic is at its maximum. However, he gets sluggish & unable to perform lightning magic. This state increases his stamina drain, so he is only able to safely stay in this state for 40 minutes/day Absolute Lightning: Hira shifts his magic fully into lightning, forcing him into his fox form. His fox form is covered in constant lightning discharge and his speed increases way past human limits. In this state, he cannot perform fire magic and his physical strength drastically decreases. This state causes considerable constant magic drain, resulting in him being able to safely stay in this state for 60 minutes/day Absolute Equilibrium: Hira's elements come to a perfect balance which greatly increases all of his abilities. He is forced into his hybrid form, his hair becomes a living flame and his arms and legs are covered in electrical discharge. Both his strength and speed are increased along with both of his magical abilities. This state instantly drains almost all of his stamina and magic converting them into pure force, used to fuel his abilities for the duration of the state. This state lasts 1 minute. Afterwards, depending on how much of the force he used, he will be rendered unable to use magic from 1 week up to 1 month and remains in his fox form for the duration. Kyubi-no-nogitsune (Nine-tailed wild fox) [Non-attacking]: Hira has the ability to shapeshift between his fox and human form, he also has a hybrid form, but he doesn't use it that often. Hira utilises his Hoshi no Tama in various ways, the one he uses most often is illusions. He can create intricate illusions around himself or near places where his Hoshi no Tama lay. He can also manifest himself into dreams of a person who has a Hoshi no Tama near him/her when they sleep, he also must have met the other person before. If he trusts another person enough he is also able to transfer energy between himself and a holder of Hoshi no Tama. Tonbogiri (Dragonfly Cutter) [Offensive, strong]: In human and hybrid forms this ability creates a spear made of lightning in Hira's hand. The spear acts as a physical weapon, but can also stretch 5 times it's normal length to strike at targets further away, it can also be thrown in which case it detonates on impact shocking anyone in the vicinity. The lightning spear is capable of piercing through most ordinary materials with ease. In fox form the magic instead coalesces into his tails, charging each of them with part of the spells energy. He can release charge to the ground creating a field that temporarily paralysis in those struck by it, he can whip his tails to create a lightning shockwave that cuts through things or he can absorb a charge into his body and release it from his mouth as a lightning blast. In Absolute Lightning state the size and strength of the spear increase, but it works in the same way. In Absolute Fire state the spear is made of fire and can't stretch, but the heat makes it capable of easily melting through metal. Ame-no-nuhoko (Heavenly Jewelled Spear) [Offensive, weak]: In human and hybrid forms Hira creates a ball of plasma in his hand, the ball is roughly the size of tennis ball, that he can set to orbit himself that he can later pick up and throw, maximum amount of plasma balls he can have orbiting himself at once is three. The temperature for the plasma is slightly above the temperature of lava. The speed of the balls is rather slow and as such they don't work that well on moving targets. In fox form he creates the ball in front of his mouth and he can only have one ball prepared at a time. In Absolute Lightning state the balls are instead made of lightning and he can have 3 orbiting himself. When launched the balls arc lightning into nearby objects and upon striking a solid surface explode in a burst of electricity. In Absolute Fire state the size of the balls grows drastically, around the size of a football, and he can have 5 orbiting himself at once. Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi (Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven) [Defensive]: Hira cuts through the air with his claws or a weapon leaving behind a cloud of elemental energy that can be used to deflect and/or disperse attacks. Fire element is used against physical attacks, the heat is used to deflect attacks, though the field solidifies around objects that try pass through it attempting to stop them, if it comes in contact with magic it discharges creating a line of fire towards the caster. Lightning element is used against magic, the highly energetic lightning field attempts to disperse any other magic it encounters, if it comes in contact with physical objects it discharges itself into the object before vanishing. Personality: He is quite wary of new people and it often takes time for him to open up. He is loyal and protective towards people he considers his friends, he also is relaxed when amongst them. He is also rather affectionate and likes to play tricks on people. Bio: Hira has always been curious about the larger human communities and has often observed them, but due to his wary nature he has never really wandered into them. He was taught to read by a wandering priest that his parents took him to. He wandered much of the world with his parents, but left to travel on his own after his thirteenth birthday and has been wandering around the world ever since. Appearance: Fox Form  Human Form    |

The wind gently blows, the trees rustles along with the wind. Within the valleys of Siphilys lies the training ground of all witch-hunters, The Sanctuary. Within the Sanctuary, warriors battle among themselves, training their cosmos, mastering their brightstone weapons and their elements themselves. The warriors are the future of Middle-Earth against the witches. Far within a small town, Xath of Carvahall; witches brought chaos, people runs away in fear. Buildings exploding, fire spread, smokes pillar the air turning the town into nothing but ruins. The news of the attack spread all the way to the Council to the capital city of Siphilys, Emerald City. The elder of the council argue among themselves discussing what is best method to do and who to send. However it is not just Xath that was attacked, many other towns and cities throughout Middle-Earth was attacked. Few people who had survived the attack of their hometown was able to describe what the witches look like which gave the witch-hunter a clue. Missions are posted throughout witch-hunter bars for any witch-hunter to take and earn money with it. [Giotto Kiryu|Evermore city-Thra|Afternoon] A man with messy yet spiky golden blonde hair walks down the street of Evermore city, he is dressed in a pinstriped black suit with a cloak over it, his orange-golden eyes stares calmly at the street before him as he walks towards the Witch-Hunter Bar, Fate. His footsteps echoes with each steps he takes as he finally arrives at his destination. He push open the door and walks into the bar, all eyes turn briefly to stare at him before going back to their business. He ignore all the stares and walks straight towards the bulletin board. He carefully scan all the missions, before deciding which to take. Seeing the mission that caught his eyes, he pull the mission down and put it into his duffel bag he carries before walking over to the counter and order himself a meal before heading out again while gathering information along with it. [Zess|Ruins of Xath-Carvahall|Afternoon] A man with short black hair with piercing silver eyes scan the town of Xath, or what is left of it. He walks around dressed in a black coat, black pants and shoes that would describe as punk style but in a cool sense. He analyze every inch of the structure that was damage, while occasionally would knelt down and picks up an object that he thought might be related to the witch that cause this havoc. As he walks around, he could sense no sign of life aside from animals or monsters near the ruin town of Xath.    |

[Lynea Distillia | Vara'nal Village - Morpheus] A long haired woman was sitting at a bar drinking, she was wearing a blue dress with some armors. She talked to the bartender. Lynea : "More please." Beside her, lies an object that is shrouded with cloths. the object looks like a greatsword or some sort. Bartender : "Is something wrong? Lady?" Lynea looked at the bartender. Lynea : "Nah... it's nothing." Bartender : "Are you sure? You seem troubled, you can talk your troubles to me, I'm quite a good listener... and I'm sure your secrets will be safe with me." Lynea : "I said no... Just mind your business or somet--- Oh wait actually I do." Bartender : "Okay, I'm all ears." Lynea : "You see this thing beside me? It was the cause I've been travelling around and around, running away." Bartender : "Ah... Go on." Lynea : "It was five years ago when I'm looking around at a site around here... And there it wa---" Suddenly the door slammed open. Some people shrouded in cloak walked in, surrounding her. Lynea : *sigh* "What do you guys want?" A man pulled out his cloak. Man : "By the order of the Council, you are deemed too dangerous to live... Ther--" The earth that the man was standing on was raised in a flash, throwing the man away. Lynea : "There he goes... Sorry about the mess sir, I'll fix it up if I could." The others then summoned their weapons, some also bring out their so-called Kudan. Lynea grabbed the object beside her. Lynea : "Lets see if you can catch me." Lynea immediately raises the ground that she was standing on, jumping out of the bar. Bartender : "Ah... there goes my life savings." Lynea landed smoothly outside. The witch hunters chased her behind. Lynea : *sigh* "They never give up do they?" Lynea then raises the ground, creating a wall to cut her trail off. She stayed silent. Shortly after, the witch hunters catches up, founding a dead end. She overheard their conversations. Witch Hunter 1 : "What? A dead end?" Witch Hunter 2 : "Where did she go?" The third witch hunter notices something unusual. He headed to the newly created wall. Witch Hunter 3 : "Everyone! Check this out... this wall isn't here before." The others then surrounds the wall. Witch Hunter 1 : "Everyone, on my signal... 1... 2... 3---" Lynea pushed the newly created wall, making the witch hunters that surrounds it were sent flying. Lynea : "Like I've said a thousand times before... I am not a witch!" Lynea runs from the witch hunters before they recover, and stopped at the ruins where she found Zin'Rokh. Lynea : "Ah... This is where I found the blade... Brings me back memories."  |

[Joseph Starcaller & Wilhelmina Everbright][The Shire - Sanctuary] Within the mighty Sanctuary, home of the legendary witch hunters resided some of the most dangerous men and woman in the land. And right now, one of the most dangerous ones is getting close to his breaking point... "WILL YOU BOTH STOP THAT!" The man was black, from his hair and eyes to his attire and it was uncharacteristic of him to normally get upset. "But Joseph..." whined a beautiful woman holding a fluffy white fox. The woman has pale, platinum blonde hair and red eyes as she stared at her companion. Joseph Starcaller: "No 'but's' Wilhelmina! Both you and that fox of your need to learn to stay out of the Research Department. This is the 3rd time they complained to me in this month alone!" Wilhelmina Everbright: "But they do all kinds of weird stuff in there~" The woman's whined to him as the fox nodded its fluffy head at him. Just as he was about to go on a tirade, a clipboard bopped on the woman's head leaving it smoking slightly. The person holding said clipboard was an older woman wearing a lab coat. Normally researchers wore white coats but this particular one wore a black coat to signify her status as head of the R&D Department and her own style. Her grey hair was short barely going past her neck at parts as she glared at the woman under her clipboard.  "And you two pests are raising more hell then 5 covens of witches. If you both don't cool it, I WILL take measures." Joseph smiled at the woman warmly as she threatened his partner. His partner on the other hand stuttered. Joseph: "Mother." Wilhelmina: "M-Ms. Natalia..." Natalia Freeborn gave a quick smile at her son in all but blood before continuing her lecture. A few years ago, she was still an active Knight in duty but an injury that left her with a weakened knee made her son beg her to take up a desk job much to her displeasure. Now, she was the head of the R&D Department but still kept her rank of Knight. As she finished lecturing Wilhelmina and her fox, Ahri she pulled out a cigarette and lit it. Her son frowned at her. Joseph: "Mother..." Natalia: "Yes, I know they are bad for my health but it's kinda too late to lecture me on it. Thank god at least you don't smoke as much as me." Joseph was introduced to cigarettes by his mother but although he smoked very occasionally, his mother was a full blown butt buster. She then pulled a folder out from her coat and passed it to her son. Natalia: "Orders from the top. Rather then send a runner I asked to pass them to you. Gives me a chance to see you once in a while." Joseph opened the folder and studied the contents as Wilhelmina bounced next to him. Wilhelmina: "Oooh! What does it say, Joseph?" Joseph: "It's about the attacks on Xath and the other towns around Middle Earth. We have orders it seems. We're to rendezvous with one of the other Elite Knight, Giotto Kiryu." Wilhelmina: "I remember him! He's that genius kid right?" Joeph: "Indeed. We are to rendezvous and assist in finding the witches responsible. But what I want to know is if its necessary for 2 Elite Knights to be sent together?" Natalia: "Normally, as you know one of you is overkill enough. But the powers that be felt that a message needed to be sent. We cant have witches doing whatever they want. So your gonna use your unique skills to 'inquire' one which coven did it, then wipe them out. Simple eh?" Joseph: "More like more trouble then it's worth. Fine, we accept. Wilhelmina come, we'll grab our gear and move out." Natalia placed a hand on Joseph's shoulder to make him lean down before kissing his forehead gently. Natalia: "Come back safe Joseph, ok?" Joseph: "Of course, mother.    |

Ah, so another one has passed on? Destined for the heavens above, to the land of unimaginable splendor and comfort? What nostalgia, to see another story reach its close. How many times have I witnessed this? This tale of birth to death, with all nuances that is filled in between the two absolutes? The story of my own life is so diluted that I can no longer recall it, in yet I can recall the lives of so many others. My own soul is no longer mine you see, as I am cursed to forever be bounded to this earth. All I can be certain of now is that this cycle begins anew. With another birth do witness the story of another life, another chapter of this eternal fulfillment of a single promise. [Lucia Hallowground | Evermore city Outskirts - Thra] Hidden by the trees, a duo work discreetly and carefully with their shovels, filling in a hole that they made. One of the figures - a young woman, takes a moment wipe the sweat off her brow, and brush off the dust that had come to rest on her shoulders. The other figure is a man who continues to tirelessly fill in the hole that is nearly complete. The woman, Lucia Hallowground, takes a sad look over their work. At one end of the hole is a sword struck into the ground and held up by a few stones. The weapon is visibly battered from a recent encounter, and also marking the location where the person they are burying now lies. Lucia reverently pauses for a moment, and then speaks to the other man. Lucia: “Angie… wasn’t a bad person, was she?” The man, now smoothing out the top of the covered hole with his shovel, takes a moment to choose his words. As the gruff person named Merik Baronna pulls his sleeves down, he responds in a definite tone. Merik: “No… she wasn’t. It was very unfortunate that it had to come to this.” After saying this, Merik quietly walked towards their gear sitting in a tree nearby. Merik again speaks to Lucia. Merik: “It’s not entirely you fault. I didn’t expect that she would run to such conclusions so quickly after seeing you use your magic. However, in the future you should be more careful around the people we end up working with.” To this, Lucia simply nodded. Lucia: “Yeah, I know. Let’s get going then. We should be able to reach the city before nightfall.” Merik Responded by standing up, fully geared for traveling again. Leaving their shovels by the tree near the grave, Lucia walked over to her pile of gear. As she began to strap herself up with her pack, she turned to Merik. Lucia: “Thank you Merik. I wasn’t ever able to give the others proper burials before, I’m glad that I was able to give Angie one. I feel a bit guilty when I think about what I had to do to hide the bodies of the others... Someone will probably come across this place soon enough and then she can get a real-, huh? Merik…? Hey, wait a second!” Lucia quickly finished packing up and went after Merik who was finished with the conversation and now heading back to the road. Leaving the place in an eerie silence as the branches above loftily sway as if nothing had happened. After a short time of traveling, the grouping of buildings of Evermore city came into view. Lucia and Meric, standing at the side of one of the carriage routes into the city stop for a moment to look over the scene. Lucia: “So this is the Thra Region City, Evermore huh?” At her wait is a dagger with a small jeweled pendant hanging off the handle. At this moment, the pendant glows, signaling the coming of a sarcastic voice. Pendant: “You obviously stole that line from that one ga-..!” Lucia grasped her hand around the pendant, muffling it’s voice and cutting off it's commentary. Merik: “We were told the recipient would be waiting for us at one of the parks in the city during nightfall. This still sounds really suspicious.” Lucia: “A job is a job. At worst it’s probably some kind of contraband or weapon. All we have to do is get this box delivered and take the other half of the payment, right?” Merik: “Very well.” With that, the two began to make their way into the city, first order of business being finding park referenced in their delivery detail. |

Hawkeye Unknown Location - Mountain above forest full of vegetation Afternoon A man wearing a soldier outfit sat against a rock ontop a rocky dry mountain. He had a map layed out on the ground with several rocks as paper weight, preventing his plans from flying away before the mission takes off. The left of his map lay a photo of the target. Slender body, black hair, hazel eyes, and casual wear. Of course, the witch had all her charms, beautiful and deceptive. But deep down in her heart, revenge, anger, hate, everything ugly to the good of mankind. On the left of the photo, was a large black sniper rifle, with its seights pointed at a cabin down in the woods. Hawkeye had just finished his lunch, consisting of military rations, perfect for hiking, or hunting witches. He took a sip from his trusty "13" canteen and placed it back into a pocket in his vest with one hand while looking at his watch with the other. It was time for the witch to begin her ritual. Hawkeye had a grin on his face as he walked towards the gun.

[Tirr Runendiel and Anima Grohm] Location: Krull-Principus Border In the midst of the treacherous mountain range between the Krull and Principus Border, an elf is seen riding a carriage over the harsh terrain. Sweat drips from his face as he tries to safely traverse the barren land. A book hanging over his shoulder with a belt starts talking. Book: "Hey, elf. Where are we going?" The elf tries to utter words but is too inconceivable to understand. Book: "What's that? "Anima, I'm trying to contact the dwarfs of Principus. Also, I have a name and it's Tirr." I can call you what I want!" The soul trapped in the book became silent but weary as the elf drives his carriage to safety. She hates the silence and starts to have another conversation to kill time. Anima: "Just to let you know, I can't wait for the witch-hunters to confront you so that you have no choice but to fight. I need to take over your body with the help of The Grimoire." Tirr speaks in a whispery voice. Tirr: "That's impossible. I'm the good guy. No one will suspect that I'm bringing a cursed item with you trapped in it." Anima: "Hmph. I'm going to try resisting The Grimoire so it won't help you when you need it." A few hours later, Tirr has passed the mountain range. Tirr is having trouble how to go through the thick forest of Principus. Anima: "Do you even know where these dwarfs live specifically?" Tirr -coarsely-: "No. I don't have a clue." Anima: "You really need to make use of The Grimoire. It helps more than you think." Without any clue to where they are heading, the adventure to locate the city begins.

Ooc: I'll be adding the form my character currently is in along with the place where he is to make it easier for people to follow. [Forest - Fox Form] Careless. How could he have been so careless. He had been running for over an hour now and he hadn't heard any sounds of anything following him in the last half an hour, so it was safe to assume he had gotten away. Good thing too as he was getting really tired already. He slowed himself into a walk and tried to catch his breath. Now that he was starting to calm down he was starting to feel a sting with every breath he took. He turned to look at his side which had an arrow stuck in it. He stopped and tried to reach it, but it was too far for him to reach. He looked at the trickle of blodd coming from the wound and started to walk again, he had to find someone to take the arrow off, as he couldn't risk transforming, unless it was the last option left for him. He noticed something from in-between the trees and started heading towards it, whatever it was. He had just regocnised the thing he had seen as a house when he felt ground vanish from under him and he fell down from the low ridge he had been walking on. He let out a pained yelps as he rolled down the hill passing through a thorny bush which tore new wounds into his fur. When he came to rest all he could do was let out a pained whimper as he felt his vision starting to swim. Just as he was passing out he could see a female figure with white hair in the distance, but he was unable to do anything about it as the darkness claimed him. |

[ Rand [] Syphilis Capital [] Inn ] Rand sat in the common room of the laughing moon, A relatively normal sized inn but packed to the brim due to it's cheap rooms and Ale. The roar of the rufians and townfolk surrounded the whole common room as soldiers and peasant alike struck ale and sang along to the dancing girl singing " to the fortunes gale". His hood up covering his elven ears to attract less notice he sipped the harpsud juice that lay on his table and watched the crown dance away. A plump serving maid approached him and smiled, The serving maids always came to him first. An elf had a natural beauty around them that sometimes rand thought a curse when trying to stay unnoticed. He looked up as she bent over a filled his mug again. " May i serve you some ale, Finest in syphilis they say" She asked him " No thank you,i wait upon a persons arrival and i would not like them to find me drunk before noon " He smiled as he replied "As you wish my lord " She replied as she walked off. Another thing rand cursed his pride for. He always wore the finest elven silks under his elven clad armour. Armour and silk that only a lord could afford, No matter how many times he told the inn keepers that he was not a lord they still addressed him so. deep in thought he heard the inn door open and a elderly looking woman come in guiding a girl around 17 summers passed through. the woman scanned the room and quickly found rand hurrying over and plumping herself down on the table. " My lord.." " Just Rand is fine.." He pressed "..My lord rand " Rand sighed as she carried on " This is my grandaughter i told you of in market, morning just gone. she refuses to stop practice of magic and fear for her life if anyone besides trusted friend were to loose their tounges to the witch hunters " The lady finished Rand looked at the girl who was now staring at his face. "You wish only to pursue magic of healing and aid " Rand asked the girl She nodded in reply. "Grasp your power , do not worry i have shielded this area. nobody will know" He whispered The girl started to glow faintly as she held her magic, the glow left after a few seconds. " It is true, she has never tried to hold dark or Harming magic. I shall take her to safety. You have already packed and readied yourself as requested. " He ordered softly " Aye she has ..." The woman replied " Then we leave , I have heard that the witch hunters are scouring lately, we shall move while the crowd shadows us. " Rand said standing up " Say your goodbye and meet me out back, we shall journey to the coast of terabithia, she shall be safe with friends there , do not contact her until three full moons passed or risk discovery " he said as he walked out. [ Rand And Era [] Syphilis market street [] ] Rand nodded as the girl left the inn and fell to his side. He briskly walked forward and left it to the girls common to follow him. They approached the market street with haste. " Do not speak to anyone that you do not know, which means no one. if you wish to stop then tell me. it is not a long journey but it shall test your will to move. Let's go " Rand explained Rand led out pushing between the market places and towards the exit of the city. Witch Era firmly at hand.   |

[James Riley] [Hypnos - Lyre - Rental Magica] Since he ran out of money, and out of employment, James decided to temporarily join a small group of mercenaries, running a small office in the city of Lyre. Most of the mercs went out for an escort mission. James somehow got unlucky at that time, and missed the opportunity to get hired. Now, he has to guard the office... all by himself. James: "Ergh... This is boring. If it's not for the free food..." Then, A middle aged man in a set of formal clothes entered the office of Rental Magica. He has a noticeable scar on his left cheek, not to mention he looked like someone who withstood some ordeals. James quickly got rid of his sleepy face and speaks with him, after ushering him to the seat in front of the reception table. James: "How can I help you, Sir?" The man clears his throat. ???: "Are you James Riley?" James was surprised when he mentioned his name. James: "Y-yes. And you might be...?" The stranger raised his hand. ???: "My name isn't that important, Mr. Riley. Anyways, I have an errand for you. All you have to do, is to go to Evermore City in Thra, and pick up a package for me. When you're done, meet my other contact by the name of Hunter at The Hanged Man, which is a famous local bar." He continued on the mission details. ???: "Just mention my contact's name to the bartender, and he'll know what to do. Simple as that." James: "Hey, you should at least give a name. How much is the payment? And what kind of package will I be taking? You know, I usually don't take small jobs like yours. But since I'm now broke..." Then, the man takes out a sack of coin purse, and he smiled at James. ???: "For your payment, that would be... 20,000 Gold. And, you'll be receiving a medium sized wooden box. Fits in most knapsacks and the like." James simply dropped his jaws. 20,000 Gold! For a simple pickup! He finally can get rid of his current job and go back to Siphilys. But one thing. The man has yet to reveal his identity, and the content. James: "Wow! 20,000 Gold?! That's tempting... But, Sir, you still haven't mention your name and the contents I will be receiving. I don't like doing stuffs without some of the crucial information." The man got up from his seat, trying to leave. James quickly rushed to his side. James: "Whoa whoa whoa hold up Sir!" He smiled again to James. ???: "Are you going to take it, James Riley, the Survivor? You want to stay in this boring guild office, or get out from your poverty?" After a few moments of internal struggling with himself, James accepted the mysterious man's work. ???: "I know you'll make the right choice. Once you have arrived at Evermore, find and meet the Reflector in Trafford Park at night. I assure, you won't miss her. She's has that... unique aura." After that, the man gave James the coin purse that he has shown before, and another similar sized purse. ???: "I just gave you half of the payment. Whereas this one, give it to the lady." Before he left the office, the man gave a stern warning that sent some chills down on James' spine, and a good luck wish. ???: "Break my deal, and I shall destroy you in many ways you can't imagine. I have... assistants that tracks your every movement. Aside from that, good luck in your travels. I advise you to start your journey now." With that being said, he closed the door, with a thud. James started packing for the journey. He left a note for the gang at the door and stashed the keys to the office in a secret location which the other fellow mercenaries know about. [Thra - Evermore City] After some days of trouble free traveling by foot, James finally reached Evermore City. After restocking his supplies, James rented a room in an inn nearby, and put most of his luggage there. With a cloak, the payment for the Reflector, and being weaponless, James headed straight for Trafford Park.   |

As he turned into a large clearing only minutes from the exit of the city he stopped and drew his sword from its sheath as a young girl stepped out in front of him , Era gasped and fell back landing on her bottom as small girl appeared in front of him. Rand did not even flinch or stutter as he stopped. The young girl in front of him stood tall for her size and he knew from her posture she was a witch hunter. Rand stared for a moment before he raised his unarmed hand and pulled the rope on his cloak. His cloak fell revealing his pointed ears and his royal marked face, he raised his sword tip pointed at the young girls face. "so the hound appears, know you stand in front of elven kin. I have no quarrel with you. This girl has done no harm to anyone and seeks peace far from cities. She seeks solitude and light.

[ Lynea Distillia | Ruins of Atala'Hira - Morpheus ] Lynea looked around, she saw the pedestal where her blade, Zin'rokh was. Lynea : "I don't know now... Why they won't believe me." A transparent body of a Tauren appears behind her. Hamuul : "Ah... What seems to be the problem, young Lynea?" Lynea looked at the spirit of Hamuul. Lynea : "Ah... Hamuul, it's just that problems have been following me after I found the blade... and you." Hamuul : "What about it?" Lynea : "I don't know... They won't give up on killing me and... or something, and I am not a witch, I don't even have dark magics." Hamuul : "Ah... But you leave destructions on every place where you deny that you're a witch right?" Lynea : "That is true... But I only did it in self defense!" Hamuul : "Destructions... will make them believe that you are indeed a witch." Lynea : "No... I'm not!" Hamuul : "Young Lynea, I believe you are not either... But what I say is nearly right." Lynea : "So, you were saying that I need to be more careful on my escape... is that what you're going to say?" Hamuul : "And try not to make unnecessary casualties." Lynea : "Ah... I see..." Both of them stopped talking for a while. Lynea : "You know... Being here, somehow a thought of returning to my hometown came to me." Hamuul : "Where would that be?" Lynea : "Xath, it was south from here... in Carvahall." Hamuul : "Carvahall... Reminds me of the forge I used to make the blade." Lynea : "You're saying that this blade were actually made in Carvahall? How did it end up here?" Hamuul : "This is actually the tomb where my final resting place is hundred years ago." Lynea : "I see... time to get going now, may ancestors protect me on my journey back home." With that, Lynea picked up Zin'rokh and then both of them started to walk south to Carvahall. Hamuul : "You know Lynea... I had this feeling that when you arrive you'll be shocked." Lynea : "Why?" Hamuul : "Nothing... just a feeling." Hamuul then disappears into thin air. |

Unknown | Afternoon | Ruins of Xath-Carvahall Shades of grey and reddish-orange painted the azure skies. Screams of pain and panic echoed from the city. The flames jived within its perimeter. An absence of gale. A silhouette figure leaned against a trunk of Oak. With the figure’s parched grip, it leisurely tapped into a button, the figure stated, “Mission Successful”. From the same equipment, a hoarse tone responded, “Alright, wrap up with your team and rendezvous here as soon as possible” The silhouette’s voice expressed an excited tone, “Roger” Vivian | Afternoon | Zen Clinic – Room #2 The clock chimed past two in the afternoon. Vivian just finished attending to her last patient. She was enveloped with a long white coat. With her fragile hand, she grasped the bronze doorknob, twisted it and pulled back the pale wooden door. Her left hand loosely held on a beige folder. She glanced at an older woman, around the age of thirty-four and her two-year old daughter. As she escorted them to the front desk, the edge of her lips pursed upward to reveal a sweet smile. Vivian | Afternoon | Zen Clinic – Front Desk She stated, “Thank you for bringing Justine for her regular checkup, Mrs. Saerva. Do you have any other inquiries?” The woman wrapped her fair arms around her daughter as she picked her up and smiled back at Vivian, “Oh not at all, Dr. Zen. When will her next check up would be?” “Her next appointment should be in six months, please schedule an appointment with Veronica." As the statement ended, Vivian, the elder woman and her daughter reached the front desk where a young woman sat behind an ivory desk. She had brown Shirley Temple curls, piercing gray eyes and blue attire, a short sleeve blouse and dark navy jeans, complimented with black high-heeled ankle boots. The woman turned her attention to Veronica as they attended to business. The daughter ran to a corner, where she played with toys in amusement. Vivian leaned her stature gently on the desk, smiled at the daughter and reached into a bowl settled on the desk. She made her way to the child, sat beside the child, Indian style and handed her a piece of lollipop. The child’s expression quickly changed from happiness to laughter. The child hugged Vivian for appreciation and took the candy. Her mom smiled along and called out for her: “Justine”. The child ran to and was picked up by mother and expressed appreciation as they walked towards the door. The woman and child waved at the doctor and her assistant as a farewell. “Thank you for giving us your time! We really appreciate it!” Vivian followed their footsteps, waved along while smiling and began drawing the blinds down on the glass walls. Vivian patiently waited until her assistant left before closing the clinic. Vivian chanted a self-made spell to secure the place, “Mhur aer aved”. Vivian | Afternoon | Zen Clinic – Back Vivian leisurely turned her small physical stature and began approaching the back of the office She loosened the strings of her ivory coat, shook her shoulders to free herself from the garment to reveal a sanguine and ebony corset top, ebony jeans and ruby stilettos. She kept her pace as she faced a dead end, a pallid wall. To human/elves and other witches, it looked like just an ordinary wall. But to the Zen, it was completely different. With her right sense of touch, she held on the robe. With her left sense of touch, she lifted her fair arm, letting her pointy finger touch the smooth texture of the divider. Her finger began to move, as if she was drawing something on the wall. Vivian performed a sign, symbolized the Zen family. The moment she lifted her finger off the wall, the sign glowed in a golden hue and the wall became translucent. It seemed to be an entrance to somewhere. She passed through the divider and slowly the wall returned to its previous state. To her left was a white wooden door. To her right was a circular staircase. First, she made her journey to the middle of the stairs. She knew her family was preparing to open up their underground clinic for the day. Vivian had an exchange with her father figure. (I would only include the last part of the conversation) “Good job honey! Why don’t you take a breather and you can help your mom and I here later?”, her father responded. “Sure thing Dad! I’m going to take a stroll at Everreance Forest!”, she stated. “Don’t go off to far alright?”, he added Vivian | Afternoon | Zen Clinic – Backyard As the conversation halted, Vivian leisurely moved up the stairs, opening the wooden pallid door and released her grip to enclose the entrance. She placed her fair hands on her hips. The cold essence of the wind passed through her, combing through her hair. She closed her sense of vision and inhaled deeply. She eventually exhaled and her lids slowly opened up, revealing her soft sanguine vision. The sky was painted with calm azure and clouds were non-existent. The jaded hues of the grass complemented the strong earthy tones of various trees surrounding the perimeter. Her scarlet vision examined the area, studied the various hues of leaves: verdant, rouge, citrine and orange and the ebony shadows within the trees. Vivian | Afternoon | Everreance Forest Vivian lifted her left foot and began marching on the dirty asphalt, which trailed towards the forest. As she moved closer to the nature, jaded bushes aligned the asphalt trail. Suddenly, she heard a noise. Vivian observed her surroundings but she had no sight of anything. The noise became consistent. She let her feet lead her as she followed the distinctive sound. Closer and closer, she witnessed behind a bush, a wounded white fox. Vivian overcame with shock, but she held her composure and gently approached the fox. She crouched down in front of the fox and with her right sense of touch, she cautiously reached for it. The fox became aware of Vivian, and by instinct, of course, it bit her fair fingers. Instead of flinching back, she smiled sweetly at the fox and let it bit her. She softly whispered, “There, there.. it’s going to be okay. I’m not going to hurt you.. I’m going to help you.. It’s okay..” “I’m going to cast a spell on you, okay, so it would stop the bleeding and it would be easy for me to take the arrow out. It won’t hurt you in any way.” She chanted a spell, “Yerj Anver”. The fox felt numb, no pain and witnessed no bleeding. Vivian cradled the fox in her arms, raised her physical stature and made her way back to the clinic. Vivian | Afternoon | Zen Clinic – Backyard At the doorstep, she reassured that the fox was relaxed and fast asleep in her arm. With her right hand, she opened the door and followed to the circular stair composed of metal and gently approached a room in front of her. She grasped on the bronze doorknob, twisted it. Once the door was released, she used her right foot to subtly kick the door open. Vivian | Afternoon | Zen Clinic – Basement - Vivian's Room - Living Room The room was clouded with darkness. All she could view was a violet Victorian couch within the middle of the room. She gently placed the fox on it and approached a switch on the wall to enlighten the chamber. Vivian grabbed a stool before storming to the supply room to gather all the medical equipment needed. She put on gloves, grabbed the medical devices, set them on the stool and took an antiseptic to clean them with cottons. Vivian glanced at the fox and smiled at it, knowing it was asleep. She whispered, “This wouldn’t hurt.. I promise”. She used an equipment to gently withdraw the arrow from the fox’s body. There still had no bleeding from this procedure, due to the concealing spell. She deactivated the spell, hovered her fair hands over the wound, casting The Mermaid’s Pearl. Slowly, the wound seemed to be lighter hue, it has been cleansed. Vivian slowly and gently stitched the wound. It wasn’t too long until she finished tending to the fox. She smiled sweetly. “There, there. You can sleep much better now.” Vivian wrapped the fox in a blanket, set it gently on the couch and leaned in to kiss the fox on its forehead. She disposed of the gloves, and returned the materials at the storage room after cleaning them. Vivian marched to a hallway. After a few steps, she turned her physical stature to the right, opening a door. After half an hour, she stepped out of the same room. Her hair drenched and her body enveloped with ruby towel. She made her journey to the living room. In shock, she witnessed a half- bare man asleep on the couch. Her eyes widened and she was about to yell. She began to panic more when.. Niam & Marcus | Afternoon | Zen Clinic – Basement - Vivian's Room - Living Room Two voices grew louder from the door. One younger man, Niam, her older brother opened the door, followed by her adopted brother, Marcus. The two young men stared at the young man asleep on the couch, then their gaze shifted to Vivian.. Vivian’s body froze in fear, as she desired to speak, but she couldn’t.
