Stuntbum: Sleeps on the streets, doing stunts for money. Magically became a sniper, The end.

[Slate]

Antorensiel Slate

Born and raised in Veins, Slate was a kind child who learned quickly and respected his elders. Never speaking out of turn and letting his rationality guide him through tough situations, Slate nonetheless became popular with his young peers thanks to his athleticism: people wanted him on their team in sports. It was at this time he adopted his surname as his preferred moniker; Antorensiel doesn't abbreviate neatly. As a teenager his habits changed little. He became more outgoing, but only compared to his hyper-reserved childhood identity. Driven by the hormones of puberty he adopted a habit of challenging physical exercise to impress the opposite sex, though little came of it. Slate found himself drifting away from his more socially-inclined friends and when he was 17, decided to begin attending university in Yuno.

Academic life was a good fit for Slate, an introvert who often passed the time in quiet thought, but he could never make himself specialize in any school of knowledge, preferring to learn about whatever he could. Unfortunately, he spread his studies so thin that his money ran out before he had taken enough courses in any subject to suitably make a career of it. However, university gave Slate a new sense of self and more importantly, opened him up to people with its intellectual discussion and inspiring professors.

Without any money however, Slate began to wander. Doing odd jobs for money throughout Rune-Midgard, he eventually found himself in Prontera, where he enlisted with the Knights' Guild. He spent a long time with the guild and eventually began to rise in rank. Living simply, Slate accumulated much of his money over the years and donated a large sum of it to the Kingdom, for which he was awarded a place among the nobility. Regarding his new standing, he was given an important place in the pecking order of the Knights' Guild.

It was during this time that he was sent along with his subordinates on an errand that brought him to the Nameless Island. Slate had not anticipated the ferocity of the monsters that roamed that unhallowed ground, and after one of his men received a critical wound, Slate resolved to finish the mission alone so as not to put anyone else in danger. He plunged, solitary, into the Cursed Abbey, laying about left and right with his spear, but it was not long before the monsters overwhelmed him. On the ground and losing blood quickly, Slate was sure it was the end when the vicious Zombie Slaughter standing over him fell with a hideous groan. His men had disobeyed his orders to come and rescue him, and what was more, they had taken not one injury on their way.

This event painted Slate's worldview all over again. Rather than punish them for disobedience as he would be expected by the laws of chivalry to do, Slate quit his position in the Guild, no longer believing in the power of authority. Comeraderie, loyalty, friendship: that was true power, not strength or rank. Slate continues to work with the Knights' Guild, but as an associate rather than a member, refusing to partake in the hinderances of rank.

Slate pledged his loyalty now to a guild, one which was not concerned with success or goals but rather run by simple acquaintanceship. From the people of the guild he came to know about the recent happenings in Rune-Midgard involving the war between Light and Dark.

From the outset Slate knew that he could never truly side with either of the opposing forces; they each stood for something he vehemently opposed. Darkness put an emphasis on personal power, which Slate could respect, but it had misguidedly judged that only some people had such power, and that they were somehow better than the rest. Light believed in goodwill and kindness, something Slate had always supported, but they relied on the obscenity of rank, believing that the strong should protect the weak and thereby making the same mistake as Darkness.

Slate's goal, then, became clear. He knew the truth. Each allegiance seemed to assume that there were those who were strong and those who were weak, and that meant that neither could be right: humanity by its very nature is strong. Slate began to get to work righting these wrongs: he allies himself with the Light Alliance, judging that those who believe in kindness will be more inclined to listen to him. If he can get those who work for one side to see the truth then the other side can be convinced with their help. If neither takes his word for it, he will continue to side with whichever needs his help, lengthening the stalemate until someone finally catches on to the fact that neither can be better than the other.

----------------------
PERSONALITY;
Yuni is a selfish young Ninja from Amatsu; she's only concerned about money, and rare items, and what she can do to earn more money. She could care less about ninja code, or anything like that. She abuses her training for stalking, and more stealthy techniques; she has a habit of following high leveled players until they die, and claiming the opponent who killed them. Yuni is just a vain, selfish girl, obsessed with her appearance, and travelling. Anything she can do to earn a profit is the best. She's quite clever despite her childish mannerisms, and is also very manipulative!

BIO;;
Yuni isn't some dynamic hero with a long, complex backstory, or any battle scarred history; she's just a greedy little girl from a island. Yuni was born into a poor family, which probably was the root of her obsession with money. Her parents were always gambling and in debt, and Yuni resolved to earn money to pay off her parent's massive debts to people in town. So, she took up ninja training. While she's not particularily skilled in physical combat, she's quite good with Ninja Arts, and stalking; and throwing projectiles, which she mastered quite quickly, being able to keep high leveled monsters at bay with a steady stream of shuriken. Her adventures are just about to begin, however...

Yuni is deciding to become a mercenary! Hire her for treasure hunting assistance, if you're willing to take the risk she might lure you into a dark corner and steal all your Zeny~!

Age(Current): 16
Job: Swordsman, dreaming of becoming one of Prontera's Knighthood.

When a father promises a child to the hand of another man's son, to pay off a debt, whats a girl to do? She can either submit to the whim and live an unhappy life, or take her fate into her own hand, and find that which would make her dreams come true. She pondered these options. Days turned to weeks, and the deciding point was coming fast, when an idea struck. She started a small fire, and left some tattered clothing and personal items to make it appear she had burned to death, fleeing their small village and wandered for months, until she stumbled into Prontera cold, tired and hungry. After a few knights took her in and cared for her, she found herself happy for the first time, and swore to protect the city as it had come to protect her.

[Reiako]

Reiako Siyama back story:

Age(At time of history): 15
Age(Current): 17


Reiako had his little sister for as long as he could remember, he was proud of her, and idolized her as they grew up, idolized her independance, her strength, wished to be like her even. The other children in the village persecuted him for this, because he looked up to a girl, that was younger than him even. They would pick on him ruthlessly, but always, Ilitsa was there to save her big brother and tend his wounds. She promised to always be there, keeping him safe, as long as he promised to keep smiling.??as the years passed, the siblings only grew closer, until they were near inseparable from one another. One night, though, their father made a shocking announcement. "I promised Ilitsa to the Grall family, to nullify our debts. She will be married at the end of this month."

Reiako was heartbroken and furious, knowing he would lose his dear sister. The days went by and he was desperatly searching for a way to solve the problems of their family's debt, without selling his sister off. He began taking oddjobs and saving money when a fire broke out in the old mill. Ilitsa's favorite pendant was found in the aftermath, and she was deemed dead soon after. Reiako was crushed beyond repair from this news and blamed his father. after six months of greiving he began to look into her death, finding no remains of her body, and evidence that the clothing had been cut and altered, feeling these were clues to Ilitsa living, he ran off to find her.

He searched high and low, eventually nearing Payon, where he was attacked and almost killed by a wolf. He was rescued however by a passing Hunter, and carried to safety. The hunter, who called himself Damien Siyama allowed Reiako to live with him, and train in archery. Bandits one night attacked Damien's small home and he died protecting Reiako. With his last breath, he told the boy that the Hunter's guild could help him find his lost sister. After Reiako buried his friend and master, he found himself at the doors of the great guild, enlisting as Reiako Siyama. He would do what his friend asked and join the guild to find his dearly loved sister, no matter how long it took. He's searched for 2 long years, but knows she is out there. Somewhere.

-------------------------
Personality;
Droite is a sweet, sincere boy. He'd never tell a lie to anyone, no matter what. Droite is always filled with kindness, and joy. He is bright, and cheery towards everyone he encounters, and is as sweet as possible. He has a tendency to ease the pain in other's hearts, and always puts a smile on someone's face. He's a true friend to many, and it's always there, no matter what the circumstance. He's sunshine! He's the morning sun in the sky, forever shining bright. He is eternally kind. He never looks down on anyone, and treats everyone with respect. He is always there for a person, and will do anything to please others. He is deep, and pure in his intentions, never saying a mean thing about anyone. Maybe He's just stupid, or maybe he's just pure, and genuine. It's that kindness, and innocence that everyone finds so charming. He may come off naive, but she truly does know what he's doing. Treating people badly won't get you anywhere. He's a firm believer in karma. He may come off as a little submissive, and always willing to please. But, not like that's a bad quality! He always has to listen to people, and doesn't simply nod, and not pay attention. He always listens, and always has positive feedback and helpful advice. He's quite funny as well, turning some negative things into funny jokes, that manage to make the depressed person smile, and laugh. He's extremely mothering, and loves to take care of other people. Droite's ability to remain cheerful and optimistic in the most dark of any situation isn't a bravado, but a sign of legitimate toughness!

Droite is brave, and always willing to stand up for his beliefs. He doesn't like it when people trample on each other, and is a shining light. He is extremely bold, doing the best he can at everything, and not letting anyone hinder his beliefs. He'll always stand up for her friends, and fight for them, even if they aren't willing to themselves. You'd have to be a brave, bold person to hide your gender from the world, with a bright, sunny smile. No matter what a person might do to him, or how terrible they might make him feel, he is forgiving. He's always willing to forsake someone's misdeeds, and forgive them, and completely forget such terrible events happened. It's said that he might even forgive someone for killing her, but that may just be a embellishment. He isn't, however, willing to forgive someone who does something to any of her friends. He's self-sacrificing, do everything she can for his friends. He's a true martyr. No matter what someone does to him, he is willing to forgive, but will always sacrifice himself to protect his friends.

Most importantly, Droite is a scientific young man; He became a mage at a early age in life, and is actually somewhat na?ve of the world outside of his lab. He grew up very wealthy, and as such, never had to deal with many problems; as such, he is not a fan of dirt, and is almost obsessively cleanly, making sure never to spill anything. He is always thinking, and making constant analyses about everything. He?s very observational, and loves flowers.

Backstory -
See "Scientific Pursuit" for backstory. (WIP)

[Snejk]

Name: Snejk Swiftblade(?)
Age: Unknown
Birthplace: Unknown, found in Juperos ruins.
Job:Assassin
Allegiance: None

He was discovered one day during excavations of the Juperos ruins, in one of the undamaged cryo chambers, found there by an Assassin Cross named Piku. Tests made at the Rekenber lab have proven his age during the freezing to be around 15. He was given a name and trained by the one who found him to be an Assassin as well - later he found a job at the place he was found at. One day, during a group search there with few guild friends, his squad was being swarmed by a horde of venatu and chased into a dead end. Accidentally, Snejk has enabled some kind of a warp device, that swallowed up the whole group, and warped him into the Novice Training Grounds... 200 years later.

He somehow found his place in the changed world again, and even met few of his old friends from back then. While doing some business in Payon, Snejk met a girl (also an Assassin), and fell in love with her. Later, she challenged him to an item-hunting race. He accepted, but in case he should have won, he'd get to go on a date with her. Perhaps it was fate, but he succeeded in getting the wings she needed. Later, they met each other during winter on the top of Juperos tower. The girl wanted to fulfill the promise, and... soon after that date, she got to like him even more. They started going out, and later eventually got married. But later, a war has started. Snejk lost his home, and ran away north along with his wife. Soon after that, they had nowhere to go, and the only way left was... the time warp device.

Unfortunately, the girl didn't have as much luck as him. She got injured while escaping, and the warp weakened her even more. On top of that, she lost her memories and after few months she eventually passed away...
Snejk could not forgive the gods for all what has happened. He decided to have revenge on this rotten world, and end the nightmare once and for all.
Seeking only for anyone that could give him death, his path is only paced with dead bodies.

(OOC: Edited a little, cause I thought that merging a story of two characters might not be a good idea since I play them both)

??????????????????????????????????

Name: Daimon Frey
Age: 22
Hometown: Izlude
Job: Crusader
Allegiance: Light

Daimon was a travelling swordman who has left his hometown of Izlude in pursuit of his dreams. In his childhood he has heard many things about remote places, and stories of battles of great warriors and dark creatures. Before he left, he stayed at Swordman Guild to help newbies in their training. Soon after that, he moved on to Prontera, starting his adventure.
While living in a big city with so many people, he started to realize what people truly mean by evil, and what kind of horrible things happen to the poor, or crippled ones. However, no one can help every single thing on this world, as it would be futile... Only faith could let him continue the training, and going on with the life. Social life has also taught him how to behave properly among people, and keep good manners regardless of the situation - even if it's a dancer friend failing her test for another time.
While visiting Lutie once, he was attacked by the cold-hearted hellhound Garm during a snowstorm - and saved by a Champion, who later invited him into a guild. On a certain journey later, he was badly injured, and fell into a coma for half a year. This didn't break his spirit though.
Keeping on with the training, supported by people at his guild - he decided to become a Crusader. To carry on the light, to serve the gods with faith in the heart, and to be able to help others instead of always being one in the need.

=/ well if i actually get bored enuff to roleplay...

Free Masonry (yes im referencing something with the name) isn't the generic conforming no face hero most ppl post on this thread with a tragic past he must deal with through mind numbingly transparent teen angst. He is around the age of 18-20 with an IQ rivaling Da Vinci's and as such mirrors his personality which is being introverted in his work, maybe a little autistic (no hes not your retarded emo nobody likes me wah wah because i pretend to have problems as i sit in my room and cut myself....a big slice of cheesecake). I would like to center FM's personality around the best medical maverick of all time House (minus the issues to add drama, im only basing my char on the personality). Seeing things through the most rational of manners ignoring the social contract of the norm. He doesn't care about your problems but only what interests him which makes his karma neutral i guess. Either a positive or negative force in the world he only does what he wants to. If the aftermath of that is saving thousands or killing millions he doesn't care. Only does what interests him. As far as features go i want him to be very gruff (like house again) casting off the generic pretty boy look everyones going for these days. (which is generic as generic as generic can be)
