Name: Soren Godwin

Age: Seventeen

Element: N/A

Rank: Neutral

Bio: Soren was born to the air clan; her parents were both strong and very talented so much was expected of her. She cared little, they could have whatever expectations, and whether or not she met them was her own choice. For the most part, her life was pretty normal, as a child she got into a lot of trouble but otherwise her childhood was uneventful. For the most part.

The name 'Soren' was graced to her by her own will, despite it being a boy’s name; she just likes it a lot and adopted it. She forgot her birth name soon after being thrown out of the Air clan.
See, it wasn't far into her life when it was discovered she could not use any kind of power, she couldn't control air fire earth or water. She didn't have any sort of talent for it. She didn't understand at first, she wondered why she was lacking this power, but since everyone was suddenly interested in her lack of ability, her interest slowly vanished until it died out altogether.
The clan wanted her gone, that much was obvious. Her parents holding onto the hope their daughter was just a late bloomer bought her some time, they all waited hoping she would soon discover her talent while all the while her clan wanted her gone. After a few years it was painfully clear she would never learn, and she was forced out of the village, or rather she happily left.
She holds no feelings for her banishment, just shrugs and goes onto the next interesting thing to catch her eye.
Now alone, she survived only through her quick thinking and a little luck, her reflexes making it easy to avoid confrontation, and running usually took care of the rest. If bad got to worse, she would use whatever it was she could find as a weapon, but being passive as she was would never carry one with her.
Her new life demanded she learn how to fight, passive or not it was necessary. So she took the technique she had observed others in her clan using and turned it into her own unique style, a sort of hand to hand fighting that deals with mostly dodging or defending against others rather than striking and damaging. Of course most of the other clan members fought with wind not to mention fought much differently than she does, so converting that into a hand to hand skill that focused on defense was difficult for her, but not impossible. In order to perfect her fighting, she adopted a few movements and stances from other fighting styles she had come across.
She won't use it unless absolutely necessary, preferring to avoid a fight, seeing it as too much unnecessary work but it keeps her from getting killed so she doesn't care how fancy or basic her fighting is.
By the time she had perfected her basic little technique she had been on her own for a while, and it was clear she would never be able to go home. Soon she had mostly forgotten how she used to live, barley able to remember all the people she once knew. Soren liked to avoid towns if at all possible, and tried to remain alone, this leading her to forget what they used to call her. It may seem silly for someone to forget their own name, but she’s a carefree sort of person and a name wasn't something she was likely to remember. The way she saw it, a new life deserved a new name.
So she became Soren Godwin.
Her travels lead her to many interesting places, but staying still for too long bored her, so she never stuck around no matter how interesting a place was. She isn't the solitary type, but seems to always be alone. Somewhere along her travels, she acquired the crimson tattoos she wears now, coming to regret this decision she likes keeping them covered up.

Currently Soren is continuing to travel, searching for something interesting to do, and no doubt attracting trouble while doing so.

Other: Soren is laid back, not lazy, just calm and carefree; she likes to have fun no matter what the cost. She can be stubborn on occasion, and will not be forced into doing anything, even if it was something she wanted to do in the first place. She only wants to do things of her own will, refusing to bow to anyone's wishes but her own.
She prefers fighting with only her hands and feet but can use whatever she can find as a weapon. Since she is slender and rather frail, offense isn't her strength. She usually relies on speed and tactics to outwit her enemies. As a Passive girl when fighting she won't strike back unless necessary, she likes to talk her way out of trouble but her persuasion skills are lacking. When negotiation fails she'll run.
Soren has a bit of an obsession with valuable objects, not money itself, only things, people or places that have high value.


Flaunt it: Soren is 5'5, slender and rather frail looking. Along her light skin are red tribal tattoos which she usually keeps covered. Her hair is long and straight, charcoal grey and almost black. It comes down to touch her lower back, almost going as far as her hips. She usually ties it back with a worn out pale green ribbon but never succeeds in keeping it out of her face. Her eyes are deep, pale icy blue. Usually hidden behind her long hair.
In order to cover her tattoos she prefers to wear something that is long sleeved as well as a hood to cover the one on her forehead. Since her hair is without bangs, the dark strands do nothing to hide it. Her tattoos are tribal in design, covering her arms from her upper arm, just below her shoulder to her wrists; a small symbol also rests on her forehead.

What may seem ordinary to some just might be a little more insane then you think. After all, since when have fairy tales just been stories?

Interesting, those tattoos are. Except for a few grammatical issues that made it a wee bit hard to read, your profile is good to go Sacred Fire. Accepted ^^

Though, if you could add the tactics meant by:

That would be nice just for clarification.

And now, for the news people: We're good to go as of now to open the IC. However, I will wait a day to see if anyone else would like to jump in for the remaining Unknown and as members, as well as to get Fredkrug's profile. I HOPE to get more males since, at the moment, females are claiming domination. Now, prospective boys, don't get your tights in a fix just because all the Master roles are taken (and by women, at that). Don't forget that strategy can help you rise in the roleplay to a position of influence and possibly even Master itself if you can overthrow the present leader. Make this roleplay fun D:< [putting this in the first post as well.]

I think it's funny that the women claimed all the top spots. Well, all except Chaos' character anyway.

Take out "weapons" and put "air" and we are good ^^

To clarify: Usually, people fight mainly with their element, not with hand-made weapons though it may occur that some clans, like Fire, would make weapons to increase the effect of their element.

I've only just scanned this, due to my needing rest however, what I've seen thus far is interesting and I may very well create a CS. I plan to re-read through everything tomorrow when i get the chance. If I do join, I may lean towards Water. ;3

I have a character in the works in the style of a certain blue haired antagonist from a favourite game series of mine involving Djinn and the four elements. :3 But first, sleep.

Hooray for fire being as deadly, available, and unstable as I thought it would be! XD Lol. Nice guidelines, I think that's gonna help a lot for things.

Also, changed my character's name to ash. Just seemed to fit better.

I think I might make a second character that has an element and is a member. I've got an idea for a fire user that I've been itching to put into an RP at some point in time.

I come bearing Fire-clansman, because I feel like making this guy even more of an outacst. Hopefully you didn't really want that heart character, because I don't feel like playing a little Amazonian boy.

Name: Frumasteinn

Age: 42

Element: Fire

Rank: Follower

Bio: Frumasteinn had been born to the Earth Clan, fourty some years ago. His parents had tried to have him thrown away when he proved to not share their powers, but fortunately for him, he was left in an area frequented by Fire Clan members, who found and took care of him. Frumasteinn was adopted by a couple within the Fire Clan, who raised him the same as their other child, Susan.

(Unfortunately, Susan being a rather generic name, she has been chosen to be killed off for reasons of plot, and possibly to provide some sort of revenge fantasy for Frumasteinn leading to his fist-fighting Malaria to the death)

Frumasteinn grew to be a strong lad, and grew interested in metals and precious rocks, things that formed in the depths and had to be taken by force, rather than the simple fights of the surface. He grew more and more obsessed with his works, until eventually he learned to exert his powers of creation exclusively over the unliving matter of the deep earth, rather than the mere surface world.

Due to his abnormal preference for solitude within the Clan, most have not seen the full extent of Wilhelm's workshop, which he has stretched as far down into the earth as he can, to allow himself his choice of materials for his creations.

Other: Frumasteinn is obsessively utilitarian and spartan in his life. As such, he grows uncomfortable, even angry, around lavish displays of life, preferring a simple meal before returning to his work.

Flaunt it: He stands at a medium height, with rather pale skin from all the time he spends underground. Due to his activities, Frumasteinn has developed a rather dense, trunk-like figure, with a large amount of red-tinged body hair that has helped preserve warmth in the more shallow depths of the earth. His skin is striped with scars and scabs from his work, punctuated with the loss of two of the fingers on his left hand during a minor collapse in one tunnel. Shining inside this matted mess are his pale blue eyes, which have an odd intensity to them, when he bothers looking at people at all. Covering this wild appearance is a set of cloth trousers and tunic, as well as a jet-studded tin pendant hanging from his neck in the shape of a stylized mountain.

Btw, I see that your character went from Earth to Fire. Why, my character went from Fire to Earth. What a coincidence! (lol)
