User: Everlasting Nirvana
Name: Rajin Stratum
Race: Aile ( A humanoid creature being born to humans. This occurance only happens rarely.)
Age: 157
Bio: He was born in a flourishing merchant town with upwards of a thousand inhabitants. His family was an upper class of merchants and were among the richest in the town. At the age of ten his parents mysteriously disappeared one night among blood curdling screams. For the next five years he was passed around among the elite merchants in the town. Any one who got close to him soon disappeared.

The law enforcers soon began to think the mysterious disappearances were the boys fault. On his sixteenth birthday he was imprisoned for the safety of the town. He was allowed one meal a day and no one was to visit him. Soon the other prisoners began to disappear amid screams. The towns people chopped it up to be tests conducted on the prisoners and the guards thought the prisoners had just escaped.

After one hunderd years in the prison he was let out. The guards had forgotten what he was kept in there for and decided they could no longer hold him. He didn't look a day over thirty when he was released and this baffled everyone there. Within a weeks time the whole town was dead with no traces of of the missing people. He sat alone in his parents old house and waited. The screams could be heard echoing through the empty halls of the houses. The town soon fell into decay and resembled a ghost town.

He soon grew bored with the town and decided to leave. He just began to adventure taking out lone travlers with extreme discretion. Word soon spread of the disappearances but no one knew who was commiting the crimes. He began to grow tired of his so called talent and began to look for a way to rid himself of it. When he came across a palace scribe that he used his talent on he heard of the Tear. This intriguiged him and he decided he would go look for it either himself or with the group that was looking for it.

Weapons: His body and a Bo Staff. (He is a master of mushu and uses only his body and his staff.)
Magic: The Vanishing: A skil that manifests it self early in Ailes lives. When the power is used the user gains strength and the knowledge the victim had.
Quirks:
Reason for Going:
Appearance: He is humanoid in appearance. The only defining feature that marks him different from the human race are his multicolored eyes. Each eye has four colors red green blue and yellow. The colors swirl to the middle giving his eyes a striking look. Other then his eyes he resembles a very well built human male. His hair is long and brown. He stands at 6'5'' and is heavily built. He wears a simple leather jerkin and brown cotton pants along with brown sandals.

How is this?

^^; Sorry I missed the edit or whatever.

Anyways! Intriguing, indeed...*taps chin* The Vanishing needs limitations. We're going to be facing off a rather tough group of rivals and many monsters and demons and crap. Half of our rivals are human. If you walk up to them and Vanish them, I will be...eh, displeased.

Yes. Put some limits on the Vanishing and you are free to have your character run in late and be all YO I'MA JOIN YOU GUYS!

Ok but unless I can gain acess to a computer I will have to do it in a new post. Also lets just say for the sake of my bio that all the aforementioned people he vanished were just unskilled or unpowered.

Here is the alterations which will really define the limits to the skill.

The power has the ability to work on any living creature, but it has limits such as the person affected can not be stronger then him or have a power that directly works against his (i.e. some has a power that stops any magical interference on thier body.) Also as the user grows weary or is worn out the power grows weaker. This also works against the victims the more tired or worn out they are then the stronger it is against them.

If I could suggest a limitation, it would make more sense if the Vanishing could only be used on someone who is severely weakened and/or on the brink of death anyway... *shrugs*

I actually really like That Butler's (...you were Bad Wolf earlier, weren't you? Hrm) suggestion. The greater power you give your character, the more credit you have to allow everyone else in avoiding it or else the harder you have to make it use...And vanishing someone to get their knowledge, that's pretty intense.

I think only being able to Vanish someone who has been severely weakened is an idea you ought to incorporate :)

Well thats is basically what I meant when I said weary or worn out. Guess i should have just picked my wording more carefully. But as for the knowledge thing I do believe it is similar to that of Torns characters power. And the knowledge gained persay isnt itelectual knowledge but more of a wisdom and skill knowledge if you know what I mean.

Yeah, I think I know what you mean.

Well. Monitor your character and his use of his power VERY carefully.

You may join us :) Since we're only a tiny bit away from the Capitol's gate, you should be able to catch up to us easily.

*shrug* Fine. Just always remember who else you're up against or with :)

XD haha. Never before have I had a group so impossibly unlikely to even remotely pull together. Heck, even the characters in my story were better able to band together than this group will be able to, I bet >:] Of course, there was only one anti-social criminal, just a serious thief...

Well sitting alone in a cell for one hundred years with no one but the voices in your head to talk to can make you just a little bit anti social haha.

Name: Eriko Shinji, likes to be called Kaida.
Race: Half human half Yuki-onna
Age: 19
Bio: Eriko was raised from birth to be a fighter, taken from her parents at a young age and forced into training. She trained alone, so there would be no distractions, and ate and slept in the dojo, training in every spare second. Her parents disappeared , though she was never told nor found out, due to the fact she was not allowed outside except to go in battles.

By the time she was 13 she had mastered nearly every battle skill and style of battle available to her. As she began to get better than her trainers she grew bored and restless, often disappearing for hours at a time to train at bigger, better, dojos, always coming back for the night.As she got older she got harder, tougher training, until she reached a point where it was a life or death situation, literally.

On her 19th birthday she got a request, to go on the quest to save Alterria from Xians wrath, once and for all. Not long after being asked, Eriko decided she would go on the mission, on one condition, that no one was to call her by her real name, and to instead use the name Kaida, until she earned her name back, by getting deaths tear.

Weapons:Most anything she can find, sometimes carries around a large sword. Has many hidden weapons.
Magic: The ability to freeze water, and control ice and snow, can also make it snow.
Quirks: Has a soft spot for children and animals, tends to have trouble focusing, doesn't know her own strength.
Reason for Going:To prove herself, and to please the people of Alterria
Appearance:
Spoiler: click to toggle

XD Lol.

It's been going slowly lately. We haven't gotten much further from when Nirvana joined in, so I see no reason why to turn you away.

Heads up - just because we cure Effluvia doesn't mean we defeat Xian necessarily. It just means we don't definitely fall right now and again have a chance.
But y'know, that's a different story ;)

Can she make it snow if there are no clouds in the sky?
