The Mad Beasts' War(fantasy RP)

[Eva]

In the continent of Concord, there are two separate people. The Sapites and the Daguz.

The Sapites, who are almost identical to Earth humans in most ways, aside from their ability to wield magic and their surprising resilience.

The Daguz are human-like people with minor animal features and the unique ability to transform into powerful creatures when provoked. They are divided by three 'species'- Fanged Beasts, Winged Birds, and Scaled Reptiles. The Fanged Beast tribe consists of swift Cats, powerful Lions, crafty Dogs, and well-rounded Wolves. The Winged Bird tribe consists of mighty Hawks, intelligent Ravens, kind Herons, and magic-using Owls. Finally, the Scaled Reptiles consist of the intimidating Crocodiles, the wily Snakes, the ranged Frogs, and the adaptable Salamanders.

On the Western side of Concord live the Sapites, with a few civilizations around the Daguz-heavy East. Divided by counties, sapites are violent and prone to paranoia. The country of Cadonia is a place of constantly shifting powers, with no one man or woman remaining in power for very long at all. The theocracy of Gilead bordering east is known for its cruel treatment of Daguz, and is ruled by the naive King Deimos. Thile, a militant country near the center of Concord, tries to act diplomatically for the two hostile groups, and is ruled by the fiercely intelligent Lady Adran. Many other countries and cities are inhabited by humans, but these three are the most noteworthy.

The Daguz live primarily in the east, with a few exceptions. The desert nation of Sahal is ruled jointly by the Lion King Durga and the Wolf Queen Capitoline. Durga rules the Lions and Cats, while Capitoline rules the Wolves and assists the Dog Prince Lupus in looking after the Dogs. In the Grand Forest, the ancient Owl Queen Whekau looks after her flock of Owls. In the dark caves of the forest, her half-Raven son Corvus looks over the Ravens. And in the mountains of Barella, Hawk King Accipter watches over the Hawks and the Herons, while the Heron Queen Ardea travels in search of a lost nation. Finally, the sunken city of Braile is home to Queen Dylidae of the Crocodile tribe. She watches over the young Prince Caudata of the Salamanders and his adopted sister, Princess Anura of the Frog tribe, and allows all Scaled Reptiles into her kingdom. King Naga of the Snake tribe lives in the harbor city of Septer, with his many subjects. A fourth species exists, but where(and what) they are, no one knows.

Things are not well among the two species. Gilead's generals advance upon the deserts of Sahal, intent upon removing the two primary figureheads of the Daguz Alliance, a powerful army created to counteract the efforts of violent Sapites. However, at the same time, Prince Caudata is marching his Salamander warriors, with some zealous Crocodile and Frog allies, to Septer so that he and King Naga may invade Gilead themselves. The Winged Birds' attempts to remain neutral are put into question as well, for there are reports that Queen Ardea has been captured during her search.

The war is beginning to ignite, but the many royals involved are not the ones who will be in the middle- powerful though they are.

The ones in the middle will be their subjects, Sapite and Daguz alike. But not all Sapites hate Daguz- nor do all Daguz blame Sapites. Many paths are crossing.

[Eva]

Rules!

I won't spout off the normal rules- y'all got good sense not to godmod or make insanely powerful characters. I'll just customize this a bit.

1. Cross-breeds are allowed. However, Sapite-Daguz hybrids do not have the power to transform into greater animals. They look human, without the tails, ears, claws, etc of a Daguz. They have some strange powers, though, so just ask me if you want to make a power up. Also, Sapite-Daguz hybrids are called 'Neithers'.
On the subject of inter-species Daguz hybrids: No, hybrids do not take after both parents. And you can only hybridize within the tribe. IE Corvus, who is Owl-Raven. No Owl-Crocodile or anything like that. Likewise, note that Corvus is listed as a Raven. A Daguz is one species only- they do not gain the powers of another species, so Corvus has a Raven's abilities ONLY. He wouldn't be able to use the natural magical abilities of an Owl. He would, however, have a slightly Owl-like appearance.

2. You may only choose from the animal species listed above. Hawks, Herons, Ravens, Owls, Crocodiles, Frogs, Salamanders, Snakes, Dogs, Cats, Lions, and Wolves. However, there are MANY subspecies of these. Honestly, there are like, what, five thousand kinds of cats? There's lots of room for creativity.

3. On humans- they can use magic, and weapons, which is something Daguz cannot use. They are strictly anti-weapons, and the magic used by Owls isn't really magic- it's more like mysticism. Similarly, Salamanders can spit fire, but that's not a magical ability.

4. If you have any questions, post them or just wait to ask me in the chatbox. Just don't ask inane, useless questions that don't contribute to the bio. If you want to know about the setting or about the history of things, ask me when the RP begins. Cause I prefer to ration out my ego, rather than gorging on it like a fat kid who's been locked in a bakery.

5. If I fail to be there when you've got questions about general Daguz appearance, ask Aubs, Bry, or Gafe. They done seen how Daguz look.

6. Peace, love, and rock'n'roll madness, bitches.

[Eva]

Daguz Abilities

The Daguz species have unique skills and abilities that set them apart from their kin. I'll go into depth here. Starting with the Fanged Beasts.

Fanged Beasts

Generally, Fanged Beasts are front-line fighters and make their due in taking hits. They are more predictable and linear than the other tribes, but are good at what they do.

Lions

The juggernauts of the Fanged Beast tribe. They are massive when transformed, and can take an insane amount of punishment. They are rivaled in sheer power only by Crocodiles, but are slightly faster than that group. Their roar can frighten even the hardiest of man. In terms of personality, they tend to be brash.

Wolves

Wolves are jacks of all trades, and masters of none. They are faster than Dogs and Lions, but slower than Cats. They are stronger than Dogs and Cats, but weaker than Lions. They are more focused than Lions or Cats, but less accurate than Dogs. Their all-around reliability makes them superb soldiers, but they can be somewhat maverick.

Cats

Fast and difficult to catch, Cats make excellent messengers and spies, but are much brittler than any other Fanged Beast. They are also the smallest, being positively dwarfed in both humanoid and transformed forms by Lions. They are wily and don't take orders very well.

Dogs

Dogs are generally like Wolves, aside from being somewhat slower but making up for it in loyalty and surprising adaptability. They can do more in battle than Cats, but fall behind Wolves and Lions due to their lack of powerful qualities. However, Dogs are by far the best guards one can ask for, as they are unfailing in their duties and tend to stick to whatever task they're given.


Winged Birds

The most diverse of all tribes, Winged Birds encompass four wildly different species. From magic to healing and fighting to sneaking, Winged Birds are almost self-reliant.

Owls

Slow, frail, and not particularly good at fighting, Owls seem to have no reason for being on a battlefield. However, they are the only Daguz species capable of using Sapite spells. Because of this, they are irreplaceable. They can paralyze with their stares, which somewhat makes up for their general ineptitude.

Ravens

The tricksters of the Winged Birds, Ravens are also the fastest of their tribe. They can tear through enemies in battle as well, but rely a lot on getting lucky, as they aren't very strong on their own. Ravens need a lot of support from friends to be really effective, but they don't have to cower like Owls or Herons.

Hawks

The powerhouses of the Winged Birds. Hawks possess sharp beaks and claws, but move slower than Ravens or Herons. They also fail a bit even in strength, as Crocodiles and Lions are far more powerful, albeit much slower than Hawks. Overall, though, Hawks are strong enough to take care of themselves.

Herons

Much like Wolves, Herons play second fiddle in their tribe. They can use a type of healing magic, but no offensive magic, making them inferior to Owls in that regard. They're swift, but nowhere near as fast as Ravens. In terms of strength, they're only barely stronger than Owls, and are slightly brittle as well. However, Herons can also use their healing powers even when not transformed, making them very reliable.


Scaled Reptiles

The final tribe, and also the most unbalanced. Scaled Reptiles boast great strengths, but massive weaknesses. They are, however, the only Daguz that can breathe underwater.

Crocodiles

The most powerful species of Daguz, Crocodiles simply cannot be trifled with lightly. They are incredibly slow on land, but this limitation does not exist in water, where they are unbelievably deadly. Their jaws are insanely strong, and they enjoy clamping onto their enemies and spinning their bodies, making a delightful crunching noise. Their hides are difficult to pierce, but their slowness makes them easy to hit, so slowly chipping away at a Crocodile is a very viable strategy. Slow but powerful, Crocodiles are lopsided but useful in certain situations.

Snakes

Swift and poisonous, Snakes have the same advantage as every other Scaled Reptile- very good compatability with water. However, Snakes do not have the disadvantage that Crocodiles do- they move just fine on land. Their fangs are deadly, as is their ability to wrap, but Snakes are highly vulnerable to any kind of magic, lacking the magical defenses of Frogs or Salamanders. Their speed, though, is the greatest of any Daguz, although it's only a slight victory over Frogs.

Frogs

The smallest of the Daguz, Frogs are very good at jumping, and thus are capable of covering distances almost as well as Winged Birds. They're very fast, but the frailest of any Daguz, with almost any attack that they can't dodge killing them easily. However, their jumping abilities make dodging very easy. Frogs boast a long-ranged tongue attack, but have less range than Salamanders or spitting Snakes.

Salamanders

The closest thing to a balanced or magic-using soldier that the Scaled Reptiles have, Salamanders bring a good act to the table but don't have much use beyond what they present. They can spit fire, are decent at dodging, and that's really it. They're more sturdy than Frogs or Snakes, but they aren't great at any defensive maneuvers. Paired with other ranged Daguz, they can fit in, but besides that they're not excellent.

[Eva]

Name- Names are mostly the same for both races, although Daguz usually don't have surnames, while Sapites do. Both races have titles, IE 'Wolf Queen Capitoline' or 'Holy Lady Adran'.

Age- Daguz can be VERY old. Some, such as Owls, live well past 800. For comparison, Daguz only age one year for every ten that a Sapite does, so a 170 year old Daguz would like and act the same as a teenaged Sapite.

Appearance- Sapites look like humans, and you know what Daguz look like. Unless I haven't shown you, in which case: Go ahead and axe me.

Personality- Not everyone's the same. Y'all know what to do.

History- I shouldn't have to esplain this. Just axe if you need any info.

Fighting style- For humans: What weapons do they use? Can they use magic? For Daguz: Do they follow their species' normal fighting style, or are they unique?

Blood- What's their lineage? Are they mixed in any way up the road?

Station- What's their social position? Are they royalty, something noteworthy?

[Bryden]

Name- Moth

Age- 239

Appearance- Very tall, particularly for a girl, a very skinny. She rather resembles a stick- very long and thin.
An approximation of two images:

and


Like the second one, but with the spectacles and flustered, slightly surprised demeanor of the first.

Personality- quiet, nervous, and sputtering. She is in no way, shape or form any of the following:
calm
collected
level-headed
put together
relaxed

She IS, however:
jumpy
excitable
nervous
scatter-brained

This is the absent-minded professor. This is the girl who can summon vast stores of information at the drop of a hat... as soon as she gets her notes together and takes a few deep breaths after the hat-dropping startles her.
Moth is insanely smart- clever, witty, sharp as a tack... but she would rather be researching alone in a quiet room then spend any amount of time around other people.
People make Moth... nervous.

History- Born in the capital to two librarians, Moth had a safe, quiet childhood. Growing up, she had few friends, preferring instead to surround herself with books.
She excelled in school, but was picked on by the other children, who liked to call her "Worm". This was because she was a "bookworm", and she was named after an insect.
The irony of a bird-girl being called a worm did not escape Moth.
Though her brains were valued in her society, her extreme aversion to even trying to learn to defend herself or fight in any way put her as an outcast.
As an adult, she kept to herself, working as a librarian like her parents. She worked her way up through the ranks, surpassing her parents and other, similar ancestors with ease.
She now works as the assistant to the head Scholar to the Owl royalty.

Fighting style- To quote the girl.... "F-f-fighting? Uh.. no... ooooohhh no. Now wh-why would I ever wanna do th-th-th-that? I'll be over here... r-reading a book on military ta-tactics if you n-need me."

Blood- Pure-blood owl. Nice and boring and safe.

Station- high-ranking Scholar

[Tusk]

Name- Knight Captian Varis of the Hawks

Age- 237

Appearance-

Personality- Varis may not look it, but he is a very sharp Daguz. He seems absent minded at times, and even child like when he wants to be, but it hides a sharp mind. He even does not look like he is a great fighter, but he is. Varis is the good hearted person who does what he can for the Daguz. He prefers honor over trickery, telling the truth over lying, and he defends his own without hesitation. He loves flying around and uses it well with his fighting style. He has no problem in following orders unless it conflicts with his morality. That is why he has not become a Knight General. He hesitates when it seems wrong. He knows when it serves best to speak instead of fight. He is not an idiot.

History- Varis was born into the Hawk nobility. His father was a respected Knight General of the Hawks who led with a reserved fist. Varis learned, from a very early age, what it meant to be a Knight in the service of the Hawk King. However, Varis was also one to sneak out and play with commoner Hawks. His reason was simply this. They have fun. Varis did not know wether or not his parent caught him flying out at night, but they never brought it up to him. Varis was great when it came to learning. With his free spirited nature, Varis became a rather calm warrior. Where other Hawks attacked with feirce determination, he fought with a calm smoothness that usually won. Varis had his moments where he fought like most hawks did, but he tried to refrain from going all out unless it served him well. Because of this, he was the youngest Knight Captian in history. His calmness was his strength. He had seen his share of combat against the Sepites and noticed how they hated his people. It was just not the hawks, but any who were like him. He fought alongside many breeds and learned a lot about them. The Daguz became like family to him and loved diplomatic flights. He did have one weakness. He was a kind person. He would not kill unless it was nessicary and he did not like following orders that seemed like suicide runs. Varis had even disobeyed an order or two because it was too foolish for him. Because of that, he has become at odds with his father and has been told he will be a knight captian forever.

Fighting style- Varis is a hand to hand combat specialist. Where most Hawks fight with a high powered offence, Varis fights with a calm mix of offence and defence. It flows beautifully and he even combines it with his ability to fly. He is widely known for it and he has even been called the Dancing Hawk for the flow of his fighting style.

Blood- As far as he can tell, he is full blooded hawk. His father, however, keeps telling him that his mother had to have some Heron in her.

Station- He is a Knight Captian in His Highness King Accipter's Army. He is also among the nobility of the Hawks.

[Weremouse]

((OOC: Sorry in advance for stretching the page :/))

Name- Heron Princess Rubik

Age- 185

Appearance-
Yeah. Pretty much that, minus the clunky armour and staff and weird hat thing, plus robes that almost match a priestess' robes.

Personality- Princess Rubik hates being a princess. She hates having to stay in the mountains and help Hawk King Accipter rule while her mother is gone. She resents that her mother deemed her not responsible or old enough to come with her on her journey. She used to be a very pleasant, obedient child, but since her mother left she's been "acting out" against all of the Winged Birds.

History- [continued from Personality pretty much] Since being pretty much rejected by her mother, Rubik has adopted a very negative, sour mood that's made her a not very good leader. Hawk King Accipter has been doing the bulk of the work despite Rubik's supposed responsibilities. Her "whatever" attitude makes her an unsupported and un-liked ruler, so that's actually gotten her off the hook with many of the tasks her mother set for her. Unfortunately, Rubik is a well-recognized face, and everyone knows of her "mountain-arrest", so if she ever tries to leave, she obviously gets caught. Her most recent ambition is to join the army when this war breaks out.

Fighting style- No fighting - Rubik COULD SUPPOSEDLY use her fists, but she's been taught that that's not ladylike, which as much as she's trying to break the habit of being princessy, fighting is one habit she's yet to acquire. She's got some pretty powerful healing magic - of course, she couldn't do much without some time - takes her at least 10 minutes to fully heal someone, but she could probably keep someone alive if she only had a couple minutes. Even so, they'd have to have medical attention eventually - it's like caffiene, a little boost until you can sleep.

Blood- 100% heron (for real this time)

Station- Daughter of Heron Queen Ardea.

[Weremouse]

Name- Janan Heilwitz

Age- 33

Appearance-

Personality- Not everyone's the same. Y'all know what to do.

History- Janan had a very typical childhood of a Sapite and it's very boring and I'm sure you don't want to hear about it. The interesting bits start when she turned 25. On the eve of her 25th birthday, she decided that, since she'd had little to no contact with the Daguz, that she'd meet one and speak to them and see if they're really as bad as everyone claims. So she went on her journey and on her actual birthday, ended up in a desert in Sahal. She pressed forward and eventually came upon fanged beast territory. At the time, Sapites and Daguz' were not enemies, but seeing the opposite was an abnormal thing. She got many stares and ended up in a tavern in a small town. She drank a few alchoholic beverages, and eventually noticed what had to be the most handsome man she'd ever seen. He seemed a Sapite, too. So they talked till it was time for the bar to close, and she followed him to his place where they continued talking, and well, one thing led to another. When she woke up, she quickly remembered where she was, and looked to the man to see if the alchohol made him handsome. It didn't. He was 100% all natural hottie. She laughed and they cuddled in bed for a while, until he got up to make breakfast. She then noticed he had a tail.
9 months later, you know what happened. A baby girl - daguz/sapite hybrid. Janan knew that all this had been a really bad idea. Her parents and brother were all so anti-Daguz, she decided to just not tell them about her boyfriend and their child.

Fighting style- Janan don't fight.

Blood- All Sapite.

Station- Normal Sapite - villager, medium to low class.

[Weremouse]

okay, so I've kinda got an arsenal of characters here, and therefore decided not to do bios for all of them. Just a basic summary and a picture. Kay?

Evangeline Heilwitz.
Daughter of Janan Heilwitz and Hart.
Stronger than most 8 year old girls. Also faster. Still, weak compared to Daguz children.


Hart.
Father of Evangeline Heilwitz. Boyfriend of Janan Heilwitz.
35 years old. Very open towards Sapites.


Colonel Tusk Heilwitz.
Brother of Janan Heilwitz.
Went on a quest to find Janan after she went missing for 8 years. Still searching. Been looking for about 3 months. Hates Daguz. In the Sapite Military. Wants a war to break out so he can kill all Daguz'. Mostly hates them 'cause he's jealous of their power.

[Vale]

Name- High Blue Mage Treybore Arcanis

Age- 28, Male Sapite.

Appearance- As I'm lazy, I'm going to post an image, and just blindly accept that this is him. (In Regular Form. Then Shadow Flare Form)


Shadow Flare Form. (Limit Trance. Still Keep Clothing On, Just Blue Aura Increases)



Personality- Treybore Arcanis is a man of few words, he believes that all things deserve a chance to live, and that combat at least in the realm of open warfare is pointless. If the people who were waging the wars would fight the wars, then there would no longer be wars. The desire to overcome all others is a bit perplexing, and it is something the rather-pacifistic Blue Mage Arcanis never quite understood. Beyond this he was a man who lived amongst the Daguz, the Sapite, and most other walks of life, and he wasn't one to ever complain. He's a pacifist by nature, however if threatened, he will not hesitate to murder any potential threat.

History- Not too much is known about Treybore Arcanis. He was raised outside the human city of Thile, and was brought into the Major city at the age of 12 in which he was drafted into Thilean Magic Academy. He didn't excel in most schools of Magic, his Black Magic skills were lackluster, and his healing was sub-par. So, rather than being expelled, the Headmaster thought about forcing him into a Blue Magic program, temperamental and still untested in it's results. Treybore was top of the program, absorbing spell after spell, and harnessing it into usable spells.

Upon the age of 18 he graduated when he was able to successfully defend himself against top Mages in the Academy. It was when a Black Mage tried casting a death spell on him, did his true potential as a Blue Mage arise, absorbing the spell, he was able to redirect it in the form of a new found spell, one which obliterated the individual Black Mage, and left Treybore standing with a blue tattoos on his body.

His newly dubbed move, 'Shadow Flare' granted him the Title of Blue Magister of Thile, which placed him in the court of the Lady of Thile.

Upon turning 24, he left the Royal Court, and began to travel the world, viewing things as trivial and he cared little about the interactions of humans and their wars.

He was last seen Garbed in Blue Robes of different Tints and Hues in the court of Lion King Durga and Wolf Queen Capitoline, although it could be just speculation.

Fighting style- Blue Magic Spells/Not a Melee Fighter

1. Shadow Flare (Limit-Final Strike)
**Note as to What The Spell Does*
A blast of Pure Energy. As it was seen by the Thile Court Magicians---It is a blast which none have survived it being cast upon. Caused the death of the Thile High Black Magician. Currently only Treybore Arcanis can cast this spell.

2. Mighty Guard
Increase the defense of the Target to drastically high levels. Almost indestructible for a short period of time.

3. Auto-Life (Passive)
Treybore can resurrect himself, if temporarily knocked out. (As seen by his self-resurrection after his fight with Ishtar, the Thunder Goddess)

4. Tornado
Very Strong Wind Magic, Enough to Transport Treybore over great distances, or to the same effect as an actual tornado.

5. Aqualung
Medium Strength Water Magic. Basic Blue Magic Spell

6. Break
Low Strength Petrification Spell. Basic Blue Magic. Easily prevented.

7. Flare-Star
Treybore's Second Strongest Attack. Very Strong Flame Magic, Capable of melting Forged Iron.

8. White Wind
Basic Blue Magic Healing Spell.


He Gained the title of High Blue Mage for his Mastery of Shadow Flare. Although he refuses to cast it unless there is no other option.


Blood- Rumor has it that Treybore Arcanis is a Sapite/Owl Crossbreed, but he calmly denies it saying he never knew his paren'ts, so he wouldn't affiliate with one way or another.

Station- High Blue Mage of Thile

[Bryden]

Name- Captain Aleesia Mark

Age- 35

Appearance- (They have it rigged so I can't post the image... if you're going to do that why are you putting it on freakin photobucket???.... so i'll just give a link.)

media.photobucket.com/image/anime%20warrior%20ponytail/z_story/Anime%20style%20females/Kanda__D_gray_man_fanart_by_jiuge.jpg?o=1

Personality- Cold, calculating, workaholic. Aleesia is devoted to her job. VERY devoted. Like, so devoted, that she would kill her own mother without a second to pause if it was an order. She is completely merciless and would do absolutely anything for the army.

However, off work, she does tend to soften up a bit. Now, you're not going to find her out partying it up, but she will go out for a drink with her peers, if invited (which is rare, as she's pretty stiff even off-work).

History- Being a twin does not suit one for a solitary lifestyle, but this is just what Aleesia does, and has always, lived. She grew up a quiet, solitary child who wanted nothing more then to attend military school as soon as possible. So her parents sent her to the finest militant school they could afford, where she moved quickly through ranks in academics as well as field work.
She worked hard and fully earned that scholarship to a Military finishing school.
After that, she did not even take a year of break before joining the Sapite army, where she rose through the ranks just as efficiently as in school.
But now, at captain, she has stopped climbing. Her average of another grade up every year or so stopped. three years ago. And she is pissed. This is due to the fact that, though she considers herself the better warrior, her brother has gone on to climb the army ladder without her. Why? Because "Aleesia, I'm afraid you just haven't the people skills nessicary to advance any further. We will call you as soon as we find that you have, however."
She attributes this to sexism, and it has made her ever colder to others.

Fighting style- She doesn't sit well with magic. A good old-fashioned sword is her weapon of choice. She is also skilled in the lance, however, and is the only female to ever hold the record for battle-axe wield-age in her academy. But give her a sword and a horse and an army to command any day.

Blood- purely human.

Station- Field Captain

[Bryden]

Name- Major General Attoven Mark

Age- 35

Appearance-

Personality- Unlike his twin sister, Aleesia, Attoven is open, friendly, and personable. He is in no way shape or form addicted to his job. In fact, he views his army life as more of a game then a job.
He is loose and carefree, always one to joke and make the lightest of a situation.
Attoven not only goes out to drink with his comrades, both above and below his station, he also sports round after round. And he always has a fantastic toast to go with each go.
Wine, women and song is more or less his motto. He sees life as a game, just something to muck about with for a while before moving on to whatever the next adventure may be.
Also, he is completely out of his fucking mind. Not that anybody else realizes that.

History- Pretty much the same as Aleesia's history, simply from a differing viewpoint. He never really wanted to go to military school and through all the training... but then again, he didn't see any reason NOT to go, either. He was sent along with her, and the two paralleled one another throughout their lives. The major difference was that, while Aleesia worked her ass off for every single scrap of everything she got... Attoven pretty much just came by it all easy as anything.
Fighting, academics, attention- things his sister worked like a dog to achieve, he obtained with no effort whatsoever. Looks, brains, skill, popularity... things others had to work at, he simply HAD.
He and his sister both vividly remember the academic finals for their finishing school. Aleesia worked for moths, memorizing every possible aspect of each class. The weeks before, she crammed like a woman possessed. When she awoke five hours ahead of time, she crammed some more. She skipped breakfast to get there an hour and a half ahead of time. She poured over each question, taking longer then anybody else. She checked her work five times over.
Attoven threw a party the night before the test. He woke up and come into class late. The teacher let it slide with a smile. He looked at the paper, lazily answered the questions, and left without even checking over it once.
He scored top of the class by over 240 points. Aleesia came in second.
And he didn't even care.
Everything his sister worked for in the army, he came by naturally. He kept climbing ranks, even as she was stopped.
She HATES him. And he doesn't even care.

Fighting style- The man is equally capable with a sword, a crossbow, or magic spells. Anything on hand will do. If its a weapon, he will pick it up as if he'd been training with it all of his life. Something as simple as a stick can become a deadly weapon in his hands.
However, if forced to provide a preference, he would have to admit to a technique he developed and mastered, involving a flame spell ad a sword.

Blood- Human.... well.. he IS awfully strange for a human and he DOES have those creepy bird-like features and all... but he's Aleecia's twin and SHE'S clearly all human, so he must be. Mustn't he?

Station- Major General

[Gafe]

Name- Akos
Age- 285
Tribe- Fanged Beast: Cat
Appearance-

Personality- Akos is one of those people that think after they've done something. His body is quicker than his mind. Patience is also something he doesn't really like; he has it, but he rather not use it. "Patience usually involves boredom" he says. Akos might be foolish, obstinate and hard in the head in battlefields and royal orders or errands, but he isn't so much in his more personal life. Mind you, he isn't completely stubborn either, he knows better than to cross a river filled with less-than-friendly Crocodile Daguz.
Akos's goals in life are simple. From a trouble maker he was in his early years, he grew and matured in some aspects. Eventually, he wants to settle down with a wife and children, more so, he knows he'll end up with a wife, but the steps to get there arenot very appealing to him yet. To phrase it in another way, he wants to write down the essay, but he rather not do a preliminary investigation.
While he is fascinated by the customs and traditions of the Daguz, particularly those of the Fanged Beasts, he is much more attracted to those of the Sapites. The Cat Daguz is already knowledgeable enough in the social habits of his people, hence why Sapites are much more interesting to him. Yet, he is also aware that to study the dances, the titles, the courtings of the other species Akos would have to get closer to them. He isn't very keen on the idea of going near settlements of Sapites. The shadow of a cousin killed by Gileadeans lurks over him.

History- Akos's life has been pretty monotone, usual. He grew as the fourth child in a pack of seven, one of the two only males. Among so many sisters, he grew wishing of more boys to be with, other than hsi brother, a tomboyish sister and father. Thing was, his family was very closely knit and all they did they did together. In fact, it was in one of these 'family being together' times when Akos witnessed a cultural representation of Cadonia Sapites who'd come to Sahal for some 'cultural exchange' thing. He was marveled by this! The songs, the dances, the meals, everything! With this representation his interest for culture sparked and, after the murder of his cousin in Gilead, turned to his own tribe's culture. He dominated several parts of it, but then he realized he wanted more of other tribes. The owls, the hawks, the snakes, all of them! And he wanted his own eyes to tell him, not any cultural exchanges or whatever.
Akos became a messenger for the court answering a call to prepare for arms. An army messenger had to see other parts of the world, correct? It was an ideal job. He took it, and he's proud of it. Fighting? Yes, well, it came with the job, and the Cat Daguz kind of wants to avenge his cousin, except he doesn't believe every Sapite to be as barbarous as Gileadeans, yet he is still afraid to make sure of his hunch.

Fighting style- As a pseudo-member of the Sahal court guard Akos has had standard Cat Fighting training. Use your speed, dodge the attacks, go for the throat, the belly or run away. He could hold his own in a fight against say, a Snake Daguz (though maybe still lose in the end). But Akos isn't very fond of orders, so he experiments his own claw-fang-tackle fighting. If they fail, he runs away. After all, he isn't a soldier, but a messenger.

Blood- Cat daguz mostly all the way up, some stray lion grandgrandgrandtimesxparent here and there and a wolf many a generation ago.

Station- Messenger of the royal court of Sahal.

Name- Thracia the Soft-Spoken

Age- 247

Appearance-

Personality- Thracia is loyal but fickle, having almost no train of backbone of her own to speak of. She can be very persuasive, a trait from her occupation, but beyond that she is quite the follower. She's also highly curious, and often daydreams about possibilities beyond her- such as helping to mend the Sapite-Daguz barrier.

History- Thracia was not high-born, nor was she from a particularly influential Salamander family. She was raised with a strong work ethic and taught to respect others, which lead to her decision to work under the Daguz royals- namely, the Crocodile Queen Dylidae.
Thracia didn't fit in well with the slippery members of the Scaled Reptile Court. They were high-minded and clever- she was decently intelligent and waffled a lot. It was only through intense favouritsm from the Queen herself that Thracia wasn't completely destroyed in the complicated social setting, as the always jovial Dylidae rather enjoyed Thracia's bumbling ways.
The Salamander rose quickly through the ranks to become a peace officer for other Daguz and Sapite countries. Her quiet, soft voice made her less intimidating than massive Crocodiles or slithery Snakes, and when added with her passive beauty, it wasn't hard to figure her into foreign relations.
Thracia is currently visiting the Fanged Beast Royals, Durga and Capitoline.

Fighting style- Thracia is everything one would expect a Salamander to be- a great ranged fighter. She's slightly faster than your average Salamander, but she's also very indecisive- twitchy, even.

Blood- Red salamander, although she's aware of some Frog relatives, and is sure that she has at least a bit of that in her.

Station- Liaison, peace officer, etc.

Name- Grand Chancellor Sachiko

Age- 213

Appearance-

And yes, the outfit is included.
She as well has a large tail, razor sharp teeth, and claws.

Personality- Sachiko has an inferiority complex to the topped maximum. She is fine with negotiations, as long as no one interrupts, disagrees, or ignored her... Meaning she is awful in negotiations. she's relatively young, but is capable of immense physical power. She keeps calm most of the time, but is very excitable when it comes to anything about fighting. Sachiko has so conscience, and no form of remorse. She can't feel pity, and isn't phased by your shitty sob-stories.

History- Sachiko was reared that she was better than everyone. She was trained to fight like a god, and to give no form of mercy. Sachiko has lived with her family in one of the largest and most prestigious Lion Prides. They find the other Fanged Beasts to be of lower stature, and the Winged Birds to be filthy. Sachiko has no time for these races, but still tolerates them when in council. Sachiko was raised primarily by her mother until the age of 15. She was then reared by her father, who them re-dumped her on her mother when she was 17, but by then she had become war-oriented.

Fighting style- Sachiko is very unique. When she does kill, it is devastating. The old woman who trained her taught her specialized earth and brute powers, making her pack a wallop. She is also quite handy with her own claws and transformation powers, although she was previously damaged in battle during a transformation, and is weaker as a lion than in regular form. The teacher was promptly killed after Sachiko could give her everything she knew and had trained her perfectly.

Blood- Pure blood

Station- As a Grand-High Chancellor, Sachiko dabbles in political affairs. Her name is a household one, and she is widely looked to for advice- But usually the seekers leave with a concussion.
