Name: Riyokku Altheas

Age: Appears to be around 17, though real age is unknown

Gender: Male

Class: Sword Hero, Gunslinger

Level: N/A

Race: Appears to be human

Heroics: Good, ESPECIALLY protective over friends

Presence: Original character, but inspired by various themes (Tales, KH, FE, Mabinogi, Trickster, Fable 1/2)

Appearance: Riyokku has medium-long hair of silver white that go down to the shoulders, with long bangs. He has a somewhat coffee-peach skin tone, with aqua-blue fox-like eyes and a somewhat chiseled chin that marks his masculinity, yet his face still retains a boyish look. He usually wears a muffler of some kind--whether it be a scarf or attached to his top as part of his uniform. On his uniform, a pentagonal-shaped cloth is attatched to his muffler, with a ring securing the flat base of the cloth. He wears a white "uniform" vest over a black tank-top that expose his arms, which reveal the amount of physical training he had recieved. A long, black glove that is belted at the wrist is worn up to his elbow on his right arm. At the waist, two belts that are crossed and buckled with his insignia--the lone wolf emblem--hold together the bottom of his uniform; the tail of the outfit, so to speak, goes around the back from the front of his left hip to his right, with a wide black ribbon bearing the insignia of his former hunting guild. Underneath that is a short, black triangular cloth that goes down the front of his waist, as well as white pants that are loose enough to allow much movement to the legs, but cling on enough so that nothing really hangs out enough to easily get hooked onto an obstacle. His brown combat boots, while being bulky for the average person, provide protection from moisture and whatever sharp objects might be on the ground.

Background: Riyokku grew up as an orphan. As a child, he never knew of his real family or his royal bloodline. He was raised up by a blacksmith in a small rural town, where he first learned how to smith weapons. He became very good friends with the blacksmith's daughter, a mercenary enlisted in the town's militia. He even became infatuated with her, though she never returned "those" feelings. It was from her, though, where Riyokku developed his combat skills. On a fateful day. the town was raided by bandits. Through all the slaughter of the people in the village, Riyokku tried to protect the blacksmith's daughter, only to find himself being saved by her, with the cost of her life. It was then, when he learned the true meaning of love was not infatuation but the willingness to sacrifice for another, regardless the cost.

Since then he was picked up by a hunter's guild, in which he would come to hone his abilities and recieve vigourous training. He became an expert sharpshooter, and bested himself with the use of swords of many kinds. While he was not famous all around, he began to recieve local praise for being one of the brightest members of the guild, and became known for erradicating many bandit factions in the area his guild resided in. When the guild disbanded, Riyokku gathered his weapons, the lone-wolf emblem that his guild bestowed upon him, and the rest of his belongings. He wandered around for some time before he settled into a militia in a distance country, where he would get to meet Pyriah and Solstice, who would become his very good friends for a long time. From here, his real story began...


Equipment:
[Custom-smithed two-handed sword] A sword with a blade that is longer than the human body, one that requires great strength and skill to wield. Riyokku custom-smithed his own to fit his own preferences
[Rhinestone] A semi-great sword (long broadsword with a a somewhat double-hooked tip) that contains a sword spirit named Rhinestone (a female). The spirit is rumored by some to be the spirit of the deceased daughter of the blacksmith that Riyokku fell in love with at an earlier age, but nobody really knows for sure.
[Dragon's Tear] A custom-smithed kite shield that Riyo uses alongside Rhinestone. It bears the emblem of the militia that protected the village he used to call home
[Ambolupus-] Dual pistols that have both semi-auto and automatic capabilities. The tip of each gun barrel consists of a wolf bearing teeth


Spells/Techniques:
[Fighting Style: Aculeatus offensio] Instead of relying on brute strength, Riyokku relies on pinpoint accuracy, hitting the weakest points where possible rather than attempting to break the heaviest defenses. Because of this, he may be able to deal damage equivalent or to someone who may be stronger due to the efficiency of his attacks.
[Flourish] A flash of the sword meant to counteract enemy hits before the enemy blow can contact. This generally gives means for Riyokku to gain a second or third after the flourish. However, this does not always protect from enemy damage, and if the flourish is unsucessful (aka it misses), it leaves room for the enemy to attack. Because of the high risk, most people do not use this technique unless he or she has trained it to perfection.
[Twirling Blade] This technique is just swinging the blade in a windmill-like fashion (much like WM from Mabinogi) which will knock back any enemies within the radius of the blade (and possibly farther with special training). On the ground this skill can only hit enemies horizontal to the user, but in the air the attack can be spun in any direction: however, each revolution only protects the user in two general directions, thus the skill does not always protect the user from damage. However, in effect, this technique will render any hits that do get past the blade less effective, and allows the user to hold his ground, thus providing the user with at least minimal protection and means to keep standing.
[Doubleshot] When a pistol is on semi-automatic mode, Riyokku can load two shots into one blow, which lets off two simutaneous powerful shots that are stronger than regular gunshots. This technique can be quite dangerous however; in an unskilled hand attempting this could cause the gun to fire back at the user. Also, because two bullets are slotted into where one bullet would usually go, the accuracy of the shot is severely compromised, thus the skill is best used in short ranges, possibly much too close for the comfort of most.
[Assault Blade] Essentially an anti-range technique, Assault blade is a quick dash followed by a tackle and an upward smash that knocks the enemy into the air. While it does not protect from all damage, this attack prevents ranged attacks from stopping the attack for a few hits, making it difficult to stop the attack with basic ranged attacks alone. Assault blade is usually followed by an aerial twirling blade.

Skills/Reflexes:
[Physical Toughness] Riyokku's Tough conditioning had made him impervious to most minor pains. Because of this he is able to take a beating from most sub-par enemies. This allows Riyokku to shrug off some of the more weaker, minor hits at random times. This will not protect from any strong attacks however, which is usually why Riyokku usually doesn't rely on physical toughness to survive his battles.
[Dark Matter] Riyokku has an innate ability to be able to control dark matter. This allows him to manipulate a short radius of his environment momentarily or even construct/enahance weapons in the middle of a battlefield. However, this ability is not easily controlled however. The full potential of this ability can only be used when certain conditions are met, usually dire situations where his friends or objectives are really in danger.

Relationships:
[The blacksmith's daughter] The only girl Riyokku ever had any romantic interest in. She and Riyokku were very good friends, and it is from her where Riyokku gained his values and skills. After her death, Riyokku found it hard to fall in love with anyone else.
[Rhinestone] When Riyokku is alone, he often engages in conversations with his sword spirit. Often times these conversations are very personal and intimate, which is the reason behind the rumor that Rhinestone is actually the blacksmith's daughter of the old village.
[Pyriah] While he doesn't have any romantic interest in her, Riyokku does care for Pyriah very deeply, as he often teaches to her what the blacksmith's daughter taught him. Riyokku essentially becomes Pyriah's mentor and trainer.
[Solstice] A swordsman who recently finished training at the militia, he and Riyokku became good friends.
More characters will be added later when I get to making them

Pets:
[Liyo] Riyokku's trusted brown fox friend. After the destruction of his own home, Riyokku found Liyo as a baby just outside the ruins of his village. Liyo became Riyokku's companion while he was wandering alone after the guild was disbanded.

Name: Pyriah

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Class: Sharpshooter, Blade Warrior

Level: N/A

Race: Human

Heroics: Good

Presence: Fire-emblem inspired, but has grown to be more of an independent character

Appearance:
Pyriah's face still bears the look of young adolescence, a feature that causes many people to undermine her real strength. Her soft, aqua-green eyes suggest the look of calmness and attentiveness. Pyriah's green hair is cut short just below the neck with a ponytail tied a little bit to the left, giving her a tomboy-ish look with the touch of sweet affection. Her skin is a pearly-peach color, giving her a look that seems very filled with life.
She is usually seen with a white bandanna of sorts hanging loosely around her neck. She wears a protective layer of thin leather armor over tights that go down to her chest, with only one sleeve on her left arm. Her left shoulder is protected by a piece of plate armor. She also wears blue tights that go from her waist to the mid section of her quads. A skirt is belted around her waist, and over that the tail of her outfit that is belted around her waist. She wears long, white boots that go up to a little under the knee.

Background:
Pyriah grew up around combat and weapons. As a child, she grew up around a lot of boys and men. Being rather uninterested in most things that girls like, Pyriah took up hunting as a pastime. Pyriah was recruited into her town's militia at a young age of 13, and with her training she became noteworthy as being one of the brightest as well as the strongest of all the students in the militia, despite her somewhat slender-looking appearance. Despite her known excellence, she decided to continue training even for another two years, in an attempt to hone her skils to become the best she can be. Riyokku's settlement into the militia, however, changed everything...

Equipment:
[Zanbatto] A large horse-slaying sword. How convenient.
[Crossbow] Pyriah usually carries around a crossbow for convenient mid-ranged combat. She prefers bows over these however.
[Oak Shortbow] A simple short bow made out of oak. This is the weapon that is first issued to Pyriah when she was issued into training.
[Plasma Bow] High-tech machinery that Riyokku constructed with his dark-matter abilities. The bow has a mechanism that enhances the bows it fires with hot molten plasma, and the range can be adjusted. Pyriah doesn't recieve this until much later however (weapon not available in the beginning)

Spells/Techs:
[Boulder Smasher] A technique that focuses strength into a single point of the tip of the blade. When it hits an enemy, it can shatter through defenses. If Pyriah hits the ground our an obstacle, the force of the attack can send shrapnel flying in the direction of the directed attack, making it a dangerous attack regardless of whether the blade actually touches the enemy or not
[Arrow Blunderbuss] This technique involes loading five arrows onto one bow, allowing the arrows to be fired to hit a widespread radius. However, because five arrows are loaded into where only one should be, the accuracy of all of the arrows become compromised,thus this technique is only effective in close range.
[Fire Arrow] A basic archer technique involving simply lighting the arrowhead of the arrow on fire, causing more damage to the wounds that the arrow inflicts

Skills/Reflexes:
[Physical Fitness] Pyriah actually has excellent strength and speed, despite her small and slender body frame. However, because of her body build, she is naturally unable to take many blows from enemies.

Relationships:
[Riyokku] Pyriah at first appears have a romantic interest for Riyokku, although these feelings later eventually become more of mutual caring for him. At a younger point in her life, she had idolized Riyokku due to the stories she had heard about him, although meeting him in person somewhat changed this. Pyriah treats Riyokku as a teacher and a friend, always listening intently to what he has to say.
[Tyrel, Riyokku's Brother] Unknown as of now
[Sol] He and Pyriah simply just befriend each other in the militia
[Tria] Unknown as of now

Pets: Doesn't own one, but she absolutely adores Liyo

Other: Pyriah loves the color blue for some reason. Also, her short, slender frame causes a lot of her enemies to undermine her tremendous strength, which is something that she uses to her advantage.

Name: Solstice Winters

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Class: Samurai; Counter Master

Level: N/A

Race: Human

Heroics: Has a strong sense of justice, protective over friends

Presence: Started as Fire Emblem, branched out to KH/Tales

Appearance: Sol's long black hair offer a touch of gracefulness and finesse, while maintaining a cold look. His sharp, black eyes and jaw hints of beauty and handsomeness, while still giving a professional look. His facial features and pale skin give him a very serious impression. Sol wears a black soldier uniform with plaid black combat shoes.

Background:
Sol was raised up in the same town as Pyriah and Earon. He was trained at a young age in the art of the sword. Because he was personally trained by one of the finest swordsmasters in his village, his elders regarded him as one of the most talented swordsman students. At the age of 15, he entered the militia for further training along with Pyriah, and was finally put into service at the age of 18 as a bodyguard for Tria, the daughter of a royal family.

Equipment:
[Crystal sword] A sword made out of sharp, hard crystal. Dual-wielded with the flametongue
[Flametongue] A sword imbued with qualities of fire. Dual-wielded with the crystal sword
[Card Deck] Playing cards that Sol uses for throwing

Spells/Techniques:
[Fighting Style: Counter-mastery] Solstice's attacks are focused on dodging and countering the enemy's attacks before he can get hit himself. His attacks are a combination of sword-radius attacks, counters, and evasions that also focus on the weak points of an enemy.
[Dancing Flourish] A flourish style unique to Sol, which involves (a) revolution(s) of the sword and body before hitting the target. This effectively hits any enemies within a short radius around Solstice, as well as block most attacks directed at him. Since this technique takes many years to master, Sol is the only one who is commonly seen performing this technique.
[One-winged dash] A flourish technique that makes Sol rush forward as if he was swooping with one wing. The first dash is usually followed by a quick flash of the sword, which is finished with a second dash, usually a backward hop as a retreat.
[Twirling Blade] See Riyokku for more information
[Card Throw] A somewhat unusual technique that Sol picked up. Sol is able to throw enchanted playing cards at enemies
[Fireball] A simple magic spell that casts fiery-hot fire into enemies

Skills/Reflexes
[Swordmaster of Fire] In the heat of battle, Sol can activate a beserk that not only greatly enhances his speed and skill, but also gives him control of the fire elements surrounding him. While this gives him much greater power, each use severely damages his body, thus he cannot use it more than once in a battle. Even after one use, Solstice's body has to take some time to recover from the damage.

Relationships:
[Earon] Earon and Sol were best friends as children. However, Earon left their home village for mercenary training at a seemingly young age
[Tria] Sol will often be willing to risk anything for the protection of Tria. He actually has mutual romantic feelings towards Tria, but because of the way he was brought up, he does not know how to approach her with it.
[Riyokku] Riyokku and Sol become good aquaintances when Riyokku settled into the militia. They don't always see eye to eye but they are always glad to help each other
[Leon Astroth] Leon is an assassin who used to torment Tria and Solstice. Sol has an intense hate towards him

Pets: No pets, doesn't like the thought of it

Other: Sol can seem very emotionally cold at some times, but he actually cares for his friends a lot. However, he is often restricted by values of justice.

Name: Earon

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Class: Blade Hero, Mercenary

Level: N/A

Race: Human, rumored to have traces of giant

Heroics: Will generally do mercenary work for pay. However his sense of ethics actually isn't questionable.

Presence: Started as FE, grown to be more independent

Appearance: Earon's deep-blue hair flow with bangs in the front, but is cut short near the back. His large, blue eyes and defined jawline seem to enhance a kind of charming demeanor. His tan skin show that even through the physical wear and tear of training, he still prevailed without relent. His casual wear consists of a black leather jacket over a plaid-white shirt, black jeans, sunglasses, and biker boots. In combat, Earon dons a layer of tough leather mail armor as a top, with a crudely-made iron chestplate protecting his upper body. Over that he wears a white jacket, which denotes his signature style in combat. He wears strapped pants which let him hold smaller articles like bandages, maps, and daggers. No matter where he is though he always seems to be wearing the same biker boots.

Background:
As a child, Earon grew up as Sol's best friend. Even at a young age, though, he was noteworthy for his exceptional strength. Because of this he was recruited into training at a very early age, and thus had to leave the village he had been used to calling home. Since then, he was raised up in the military, trained as a mercenary. Earon's first noteworthy accomplishment involved ridding a small village of a powerful grizzly bear that was terrorizing the village at the age of 15. As he gained more military experience, Earon began gaining more widespread recognition. At the age of 18 he finished his service at the mercenary group that had first recruited him, and left to work for the royal Altheas family. After a long time away from his home, however, Earon would become more and more homesick. His one most important yearning would consist of him wanting to get back home.

Equipment:
[Air Buster] A light buster-sword type weapon that handles very well. When used, the sword cuts through the air in a streamline manner
[Zanbatto] A long Horse-slaying sword. Earon's standard-issue weapon
[Machete] A blade that can deal quite a lot of damage on contact. However, since it handles very poorly, Earon doesn't use it for much else other than cutting grass.
[Dagger] Not really much of a weapon that Earon likes to use. Mostly uses it for things like cutting meat and such

Spells/Techniques:
[Boulder Smasher] Earon's boulder smasher is more focused than that of Pyriah's, thus doing more damage
[Twirling Blade] See Riyokku for tech info
[Piercing Wave] A ranged attack that involves focusing wind energy into an enemy's weak point, causing damage and sometimes even armor breaking
[Strafing Blow] A flourish combo attack involving forward momentum and 4 hits, the fourth hit being a finishing knockback blow. Because of Earon's momentum in this technique, it is very difficult to stop the combo from finishing, although this technique itself does not protect from damage
[Flourish] See Riyokku for tech info

Skills and Reflexes:
[Physical Fitness] Earon is unusually strong for a human being, thus he is able to deal damage that seems somewhat unnatural for the regular soldier.

Relationships:
[Sol] Earon and Sol grew up as best friends. However, Earon had to leave their home village for mercenary training.
[Tyrel Altheas] since Earon is under the service of the Altheas family, he has ties to Riyokku's brother. Earon doesn't seem to talk much about Tyrel though.

Pets:
None

Other: Because of his unusual strength, Earon is rumored to have Giant blood run in his veins. This hasn't been confirmed by anyone however, and Earon refuses to speak about it.

Name: Triatha (Tria for short) Nathalie Rothsharte

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Class: Healer, Royalty

Level: N/A

Race: Human

Heroics: She has a good heart, usually sided with her friends

Presence: Started out as KH/FF...somehow branched into FE. Now more independent

Appearance: Tria has long, blue hair with parting bangs. She has a young, beautiful face form with a smile that often brings warmth into people's hearts. Her blue eyes show of a sweet innocence, with a sense of temerity that most people would not expect from her. She wears a white royal gown with long sleeves and intricate designs embroidered on it. The dress of the gown has two partings from her lower hip down. Tria wears long, white stockings that go down from a little bit above her knees.

Background: Tria was raised up in a royal family. As a child, she was used to living in a lavish lifestyle. Tria grew up untouched by the worst parts of society, giving her a child-like innocence. Her family, however, wasn't exactly all guiltless. Tria's father had been involved in very suspicious matters, which lead to an assassination attempt by a black organization. While the attempt at Tria's father's life failed, it had resulted in Tria being kidnapped for ransom by Leon, the assassin that was sent to kill. This ultimately lead to Tria's sepparation from her family for a long time, until she was recovered by the militia that was training Sol and Pyriah. Tria would eventually fall under the care and protection of Sol, who's first assigned mission would be Tria's protection.

Equipment:
[Child's Tear] A healing staff that can heal even the deepest wounds as long as the staff user has a pure heart.

Spells/Techniques:
[Shield of Light] A spell that protects the user and nearby friends for a short period of time
[Prayer of Hope] A healing spell enabled by the Child's Tear. This enables the wielder of the staff to cure ailments and wound conditions as long as the wielder has a pure heart
[Prayer of Strength] This spell temporarily strengthens Tria's allies around her
[Cure] A simple heal spell that heals minor wounds in the middle of battle

Skills/Reflexes:
[Child's Purity] A special lucky charm of Child's Tear. It seems to protect Tria from physical harm

Relationships:
[Sol] Tria happens to care for Sol a lot. She sometimes wishes that he wouldn't put himself in harm's way so much just for her protection. Tria has feelings towards Sol, but is often disappointed when Sol doesn't seem to share the same feelings back.
[Riyokku] Tria and Riyokku become good friends in the militia of Sol and Pyriah's home village. He often becomes someone to talk with about personal issues, mainly because Sol doesn't seem to be a very good communicator. Tria also seems to flirt with Riyokku at some times, in an attempt to try to get Sol jealous. Although...it doesn't always work very well.
[Pyriah] Tria and Pyriah simply become very good friends. They eventually develop a sibling-like relationship with each other.

Pets: Like Pyriah, she has no pets but absolutely adores Liyo

Other: Tria is usually unable to hold grudges against other people. She happens to be very kind-hearted and forgiving.
