Welcome to Astaria, a City in the clouds. it is here that the humans dwell, centuries ago it was part of the land below, but to escape the demon kings wrath the humans used magic to raise Astaria to the sky, and their it floats out of the reach of the darkness. sadly the magic, which has held the city aloft for over 1000 years is waining, and the humans are about to fall once more into the darkness of the demon kings land. because of this impending doom, the king has requested audience with all known Magic Users in the land of Astaria so he might send them to the earth below and have them cleanse a large enough area to settle Astaria in before it falls, as well as create a Ground base to fight the demon king until the land once again belongs to the light.
Paladin: a warrior who focuses on Defensive Magics like Barriers and demon despelling, but who can also use light magic attacks to purge darkness from a possessed beast.
Mythril Knights: Knights who use Mythril stones to craft their armor and Weapons, giving their blades magic, rather then using their own energy. Note: Crafting with Mythril stones requires using magic to Imbue the stones, so only magic Users become Mythril Knights, but they are usually weak with casting or not as gifted, so they use weapons embued with magic to increase their strength.
Casters: average magic users, they use spells to fight demons, and can create barriers using Arcane Symbols on the ground.
The Gifted: these are vary rare, possessing a magical Guardian which is a symbol of their soul. they can not cast magic, but they can will their Guardian to gain any element or become any weapon they think of.

Name: Xander Lockwood
Age:17
Gender:male
Appearance:
Magic user type: Gifted
Weapon: his magical Guardian
History: Xander was first able to summon his magical guardian at the age of five, when he used to play with it, as most gifted do at that age, like it was an imaginary friend. since the Guardian is only visible to those it's holder wants to show, it wasn't until he was 7 that he was discovered by his father, who was forced to turn his son into the court so he could be trained in using his power to save mankind. his schooling was tougher then most as a gifted, the king had assigned special regiments to gifted children so they could be raised tougher and more tactical then the others, as gifted where rare and valuable assets to the cause. most of the nights he would return to his chambers with fresh scars and no energy to finish his homework, which was allowed for gifted children, as long as they finished it before the end of the semester, meaning the days he did have off training, he was locked in his room writing or studying.
Likes: his guardian Nemo, reading, not being bothered.
Dislikes: people who are jerks, people who look at him like a freak.

Name: Richard Dupre
Age: 27 for the past 50 years
Gender:male
Appearance:
Magic user type: Mythril Paladin (the only one of his kind.) of Dark Magic
Weapon: The Scythe in his picture
History: Richard Dupre was one of the few soldiers in the kings army allowed to study dark magic. he was originally a paladin of high caliber and was one of the first foot soldiers on the ground while trying to find a safe place onthe world below to land Astaria, 50 years ago. while in the land below his study of the dark magic brought him to a darkwell, where a caster could trade their element for dark magic. he did not want to use it, but in the name of the king he was forced to relinquish his light magic and take the dark magic from the darkwell. the effects where instentanious. he was no longer able to create light barriers, which would keep out the demons, but instead was able to destroy the demons from within using the dark magic. he was able to create his own demons from his shadow and even create a weapon, which resembled a mythral weapon, out of darkness itself. this power was seen to be to dark and twisted to be used in the battle for Astaria, so the king had Richard Imprisoned for doing as he was told and taking the power. it wasn't until about 20 years of not aging when the crown realized the dark magic was keeping Richard from deaths grasp, just like the demons below, he didn't age. unlike the dark magic that some casters are born with, Richards dark magic was pure and untainted by the human blood, which had all but vanished in Richards body, replaced by the darkness. though he was imprisoned, Richard held no resentment towards the king, and although the darkness in him begged him to kill everything insight, he was able to control it with the thought of one day becoming human again.
Likes: Magic, talking to people, Astaria, humans.
Dislikes: Demons, the darkness within him, himself.

History: Signum's family lineage dated back during the times where they were still in land. Her family served the king and always provided the best male knights and female casters they could offer. They all but served those people, even now. When she was born, her father and mother expected for her to be a marvelous magic user but was disappointed when she turned five and didn't even had enough power to create a solid form on even one element. Since the girl's family saw hints that Signum could somehow cast smaller spells, they decided to train her in the arts of swords and weaponry. She was quite adept on the whole exercise and labor thing, given that she was an energetic girl, and her brothers always helped her.
They gave her all types of training regiment, her muscles already getting used to the usual beating she gets. They trained her to get used to all types of weaponry, something she fortunately excelled at, and with her father noticing her skill with axes, he made her make her own weapon. Early in the morning, she'd wake up and forge her axe with those mythril stones, after a few good two hours, she'd train, then after she trained, she'd continue to forge it.
When she became fifteen, she sparred with many people and defeated them, using her herculean strength. It really wasn't that impressive, she's just above (by six steps) in strength than what could be normally seen in a man. She possesses a body normal for her age, but retained her strength. It was hypothesized that it was because of her muscle structure that instead of one bunch, there are individual muscles that were worked on.
Likes: She likes her trusty axe and people who are nice. She also loves her brothers dearly, as they always helped her.
Dislikes: She detest her sisters. She doesn't like not having her axe around during difficult times.
Extra: She has three brothers and two sisters. The sister part wasn't mentioned as she hated them. Also, her axe is difficult for other people to carry as it is heavy and can only be wielded with ease by its forger, Signum.

History: Natalie Hunt, the girl mostly known as being kind-heated and pure. She never fails to bring the smiles out of people, and is generally the type to lighten peoples spirits on a bad day.

She is a good friend and someone who never judges a book by its cover.
Likes: music, painting, magic, being optimistic.
Dislikes: demons.
Extra: Don't underestimate her fragile appearance, shes actually quite good at what she does.
(No prob for me. Start whenever. Just that I will be more inactive in December until the 3rd week of January. I'll be having a vacation during those times.)
