Archimandritae and the Temperate Queen
« on: April 19, 2012, 04:25:06 PM »
Character Name: Alexander Ceris
Age: 37
Gender: Male
Race: Arcana Relorian
Appearance: Pictures at bottom of template.
Alliance: Sons of Plunder/Sierrensa Order
Personality (one paragraph minimum): A calm and collected monk by nature, Alexander has seen many of the wonders of existence. Holding great love for his prime student, Archimand, he hopes to pass on all his knowledge to the next generation. He seeks peace, though not unification. He believes the diverse beliefs and viewpoints can only serve to enrich the collective, while unification would cause stagnation. For all the love he has found in the members of his Order and the Sons, he perhaps more than the other leaders of the SoP has known the most hardship. Many of his friends perished during the attacks on Dragon Moon, New Dragon Moon and Lesh. It is rumoured he is the one who has the most difficulty with the Avenger state as well, though he has not yet openly utilized it. He tries to stay calm at all times, though behind closed doors, at Luna's side, he finally allows himself to let go of his numerous walls and safeguards. He enjoys his rather large and exotic tea collection, growing the plants himself, as well as his equally large and varied music collection, tracks ranging from classical orchestras to top list pop and metal.
Inventory (Weapons, Equipment, Etc): Several AAM necklaces and bracelets made of prayer beads formed from numerous types of holy wood, twin khopesh,
Combat Level (Average of magic level and physical strength. If you don't know what to do here, don't fill it out and the staff will help you.): 4.5/5
- Magic  Level:5
- Physical Strength: 4 naturally, 5 to near six with the aid of the Sierrensa techniques.
Character's History (Minimum 3 Paragraphs):Raised by a monastic order, Alex never knew his family. After his training, he slowly began to question some of the teachings of the order. Seeking answers, he abandoned the Order only to find Nisorin shortly after, seeking the help of an accomplished warrior. After hearing him out, Alex decided to join him, the Sons of Plunder almost fully formed as they head out for a snow planet.

Determined to discover the answers he seeked, he watched Nisorin and Celestie as their relationship developed, noticing how strong they both were. Seeing this, and their relationship, he realized that the monks teachings, as right as some of them were, were flawed. Instead, he followed his own teachings, proclaiming himself to the order as a Relorian warrior, and continued to aid Nisorin and the Sons of Plunder.

During the ten years between seasons 3 and 4, he devoted much of his time to spending more time with Luna and teaching others his ways. He founded, and leads, the sect of Relorian warriors known as the 'Sierrensa,' roughly translated to 'Celestial Monks.' Fusing techniques from various different weapon-based martial arts styles, the Sierrensa represent the pinnacle of Relorian martial artists. By using the Weave inside each one, they often perform various different super-human feats during combat, from blurring speed to extreme strength, even to cutting through steel and other metals. His stay on the Ancient Relorian megalith only served to further their search for knowledge and their command over their Weaves.

The eight years since the destruction of Plex has not been easy on him. He and Luna had returned to the Megalith, weary of the constant battles throughout the Shattered Planes. He has had the time to reflect on his losses, many of them he still considers preventable. It was through this time of reminiscence that he was able to decide his goal for his life. Once, he sought power so that he could better seek knowledge, now he seeks power so that he may save lives. Every death that he can prevent is a family saved from the hardships of loss, every life saved is the protection of a sacred being. Yet even with all this he understands that death is not only inevitable, but through lessons with the Shamai, including their greatest shaman, Iroku, required for life to continue. And so, when death is absolutely required, he carries out the execution himself. A self-discipline stronger than any other, yet bordering on the brink of madness nonetheless.

It is this very self-discipline, however, that makes him fear the Avenger. In every waking moment and in every dream he hears it's voice, deep in the back of his mind, soothing his weary mind, reminding him how much easier it would be to simply give in, to embrace the madness, the lack of expectations, requirements and caring. But how much easier would such an existence really be, with no worries and no cares?

Character Name: Luna Ceris
Age: 38
Gender: Female
Race: Arcana Relorian
Appearance: Pic is below template.
Alliance: Sons of Plunder
Personality (one paragraph minimum): Naturally cold and snappy, Luna has learned quite a great deal during her travels amongst the Relorians and the Sons of Plunder, especially during her relationship with Alexander. She has finally begun to understand that heat is not something different than cold, and has begun utilizing it extensively. This, too, has affected her personality. While she hardly ever shows it, she is becoming more sympathetic, especially towards Alex. She's become his pillar of strength, comforting him and standing by his side through everything. She has even become a bit of a mother figure for many in the Mira Sierrensa. While still childless herself, she has taken to the role relatively well. In battle, however, the fiery ice queen shines quite well, letting all the fire and tenacity come out. With this new outlook, she has looked into new avenues of magic, including reading a person's present self utilizing the Tarot.
Inventory (Weapons, Equipment, Etc): Two slim swords made of Permice, an AAM pendant of the Tarot, shifting through the major Arcana depending on the situation.
Combat Level (Average of magic level and physical strength. If you don't know what to do here, don't fill it out and the staff will help you.):4
- Magic  Level:5
- Physical Strength: 3
Character's History (Minimum 3 Paragraphs):Born and raised on a planet with blizzards year round, Luna quickly became accustomed to the cold, and by her ninth birthday, she had learned to control that cold, though in the process her soul became as cold as the ice she wielded. On her 12th birthday, her hometown was destroyed in a struggle for control over her planet, forcing her to live out in the frozen wastes for the rest of her time there.

She met Nisorin purely by accident, taking refuge in the cave he, Celestie, and Alex were already in. This happened well after her 18th birthday, and she hadn't seen another humanoid since the destruction of her town. Immediatly fearful, and thereby hostile, Nisorin walked up to her, in nothing but an undershirt and pants, arms out to the sides. Seeing her confused expression, he pointed to a pile of snow to her side, promptly forming it into a shining collar with floating ice blue wings. "For you, mistress snow." He said, kneeling before her and giving her the collar. "A gift, from the land." He continued as she allowed him to put it on her. "The land wants me to join you, so I shall." She said, surprising them all with her clear, strong voice.

"Glad to have you."

During their journey outside the dimensions, Luna had learned about the existence of various embodiments, including Vahaga, the Embodiment of Snow. Visiting her home, Luna and Vahaga had become unlikely friends, using their love of the cold as a common interest. They both taught each other quite a bit, Vahaga showing Luna many new ways to use her abilities, while Luna providing information that Vahaga did not have access to, such as Permice, among others. This friendship was, unfortunately, cut off short with Vahaga's death. She has returned to the SP universe to investigate her death, and if possible, become the new Embodiment of Snow.

During the past eight years, she has searched out information regarding the Embodiments of Snow, Cold, and Heat. While she has learned of Heat's new incarnation, she has not yet found him. In her search to improve her own skills, however, she has been taking care of a small egg for the Embodiment of Protection. Incubating the egg by drawing the cold away from it, the egg has nearly quadrupled in size, now large enough to hold a newborn human within. The woman has also taken an interest into the Mira Sierrensa, becoming friends with a great many of its members. She followed Alex to the Megalith, staying by his side while searching through for articles regarding the Embodiments she sought.

Seeing the world through a child's eyes is truly a unique experience. It helps you to retrieve that sense of awe, magic and wonder that you lost as you lost your innocence. Tell me, when was the last time that you thought of those childhood dreams? You know, the ones that you used to spend all your time wondering and fantasizing about? Have you forgotten them so easily? Have you forgotten what it felt like to see something for the first time, to see the magic in the mundane? Everyone says you should take the time to 'Stop and smell the roses'. But you should also take the time to look for the fairies, embrace the wind and enjoy the rain. Just once today, stop for a moment and look into that little piece of nature you pass everyday. Perhaps you may see something you did not notice before.

Would you like me to update this and the other three requests you approved tonight to the new template, with the combat strength field?
