OOC: Thanks Fallen! [color=#CC0000][size=1][b]Day 0[/b] Allegra half sighed with relief as she saw James walk towards her in the hall. She had already stolen a knife from the kitchen, just to help him help her complete her card. Her face was white and her body was shivering in fear, a cold sweat on her forehead. James looked at her and concluded that it must have to do with one of her greatest fears. " Lets go to my rom then," Allegra said. She turned on her heel and walked to her room, James in tow. She regretted ever asking him to do this. This was going to be sickening, even at best. She didn't want to be tortured to death. When they arrived in Allegra's room, she looked the door behind James and turned to him, her face almost now a pale green. " You promised you would do as I say. I'm so sorry for this James... I really am..." Allegra said as she withdrew the large kitchen knife out of her pocket. When James saw this, he immediately thought her card was to kill him, but that was no the case. If that were true, she would have chosen to do it another way. " I'm not going to kill you," she said, half comforting. James relaxed a little. " But, with this knife, you have to chop off my right hand's pinky, and then eat it to the bone otherwise I will be tortured to death." James' face turned the same colour as Allegra's. " That's.... that's ..... there isn't even a word to describe that." " I... I know..... my greatest fears are my own blood or to be murdered. If I had to choose one, it would be seeing my own blood," Allegra said hoarsely. " Right...." James said. They stood there in silence for a few moments before Allegra turned the light on before the day becaem night, remembering the rule about the light. " I'll... I'll do it....." " Thank you James.... I appreciate this immensely.... I will try to repay the favour. Do... do you want to get yourself mentally prepared while I prepare the other stuff?" " Ok..." Allegra gathered some towels and bandages and the such to be prepared. James stood at her desk, the knife firmly grasped in his hand. She lay the towel on the desk's surface and laid out the bandages, ready to be applied. Laying out her hand, Allegra prepared herself for this. There was a large lump in her throat. James kept rearranging his grip on the knife, nervous. " Do it..." she whispered, closing her eyes and turning her head. James lent forward. A piercing scream echoed through the whole mansion - a scream of pure pain.[/color][/size] OOC: You can continue onto dinner Fallen, if you wish.

[size=1][b]The sound of the bolt being moved in its mechanical way. That was the thing she needed. The sniper, whomever it was, had finally made one mistake. The single noise allowed Teigra to approximate where the sniper was hidden. The bolt's sound was metallic enough not to echo around the cathedral as much as the barrage of bullets were. She looked around the pillar a bit, carefuly not to let the sniper see her sneak around. She knew there was something wrong with that stained glass window. There was a completely black shadow at the bottom of the window. At first, Teigra thought it was a container of some sort, stored way up high on the supported bridgeway that spanned over the main entrance of the cathedral. He was there. She just knew it. Taking a great leap from the pillar to the wooden pews, Teigra took two shots at the sniper, missing him widely. She could hear him sniggering up there laying down on the floor of the bridging. A barrage of bullets hit the wooden pew, splintering it. Teigra lay behind it, her hands covering her head. She took out the other of her H&K P8s. She could see where he was from where she was on the floor. Teigra stood and shot seven more times, each missing the sniper. He shot a couple more times at Teigra as she ran and hid behind another marble pillar on the opposite side of the room. Smiling from behind the pillar, she took one more shot, and yet again missed the sniper. Teigra could now clearly hear him chuckle loudly from the bridging. Then it happened. A large crack echoed through the cathedral. The sniper suddenly fell silent. He turned his head to see a large area of the stained glass window behind him crack and fall towards him in one big pane. He tried to scramble out of the way but the glass collided with his head and shattered in thousands of pieces. This was just the distraction Teigra needed. She threw a rope up to the bridging, a grappling hook at the end. It caught the railing, allowing Teigra to climb up behind him. The sniper felt Teigra land on the bridging, whirled around and tried to bring his rifle to her head, only to find her gun was already at his. He looked shocked. Here was a girl that he thought was the worst shot in the world, only to find out she had everything calculated down to the last detail. Now she had the upperhand. The sniper smiled, thinking of something that could save his life. He quickly grabbed her arm and flung himself and her out of the stained glass window, shattering more glass. They were free-falling through the air. Next stop, stoned pavement. Teigra was rolled onto her back, so that it wwas the first thing to hit the pavement along with any glass that was going to slice it on impact. Thinking quickly, Teigra had to get out of this situation otherwise she would be killed. At that moment, she flipped the sniper around, so his back faced the ground at the last moment. There was a sickening crunch as Teigra landed on the sniper, the glass underneath him slicing into his back, neck and head. It was rather gruesome. She felt his body buckle underneath her as she landed on him. Stumbling off him, Teigra made her way to the bench and sat down underneath the light and gave a sigh. " What a day..."[/size][/b]

[size=1][color=red]Is anyone willing to make me a Burst Angel banner and avi? You can have free reign over this but the only condition is that is must have Jo on it. It can include my username if it fits, but it's not necessary. I'll attach a picture of Jo so you know what she looks like. It doesn't have to be this picture at all. Especially if you can find a better one. ^_^[/color][/size]

[color=DarkGreen][size=1]Raven sighed as Zane's illusion finished. It was a replay of the events that had happened to both of them straight after the massacre. Both fo them had felt heartache and loss - the loos of friends and ones that were very close to them. They sat in the rather comfy sapphire-blue velvet armchairs in Raven's apartment. Zane had a glass of red wine in his hand. Raven had sunk into the bottom of her chair. Those emotions that illusion provoked was almost still too real to bear. The four Zodiac had met up after that, but only briefly, and went their separate ways, doing what they thought was right. [i]Ima... Kariz... I wonder how they are doing...[/i] Raven thought to herself. Zane looked over to Raven. [color=Navy]" I wonder that too sometimes.[/color] " Sometimes I wish you didn't read my mind." [color=Navy]" Unforunate habit of mine. These powers are undeveloped as of yet. I don't mean to. They just sort of filter into my mind, as if you were speaking to me normally."[/color] Zane took a sip of the red wine, swirling it slightly in the glass. " These powers," Raven said, holding her hand up before her face, " I wonder if these are truly gifts or just curses." [color=Navy]" I wonder that too."[/color] Both of them sighed in unison. They had become very close friends during the one-and-a-half years they had been in each other's presence. Raven had been so kind as to let Zane stay with her since his house had been destroyed by what they were fighting. But they had rarely seen a demon during the two years. There was a few minor ones here and there, but nothing like they were when they were fighting them permanently. Raven looked outside at the night sky. The lights of Athens almost reached the stars. The sounds of late-night traffic echoed through the buildings. Zane finished off his glass of wine. [color=Navy]" I think I'll go to bed. Do you have an early start in the morning?"[/color] Raven shook her head. " The Chief gave me a midday start. But I have to work late. You'll have to make dinner." [color=Navy]" Very well. Be home for lunch?"[/color] " I'll go get some pizza from around the corner." [color=Navy]" Sounds good. Night Raven..."[/color] " Night Zane." Zane headed off to his room - the room that Rubedo had used when he stayed with her. There was a sudden pain in her heart. [i]Rubedo.... damn you.... why can't you just get out of my head..... you left me years ago.... just go away!![/i] She dragged herself into the bathroom to have a quick shower before bed. As the steam rose around her, she couldn't help thinking about her role as a Zodiac in the world. " Maybe.... maybe these powers are a gift after all..."[/color][/size]

[color=#CC0099][size=1]Katima knew this was too good to be true. As soon as they had entered Madrid's airspace, she knew something was up. And what is was... was vampires. They swooped on the group like a hunting bird would do on their prey. Her [i]Dark Flame Chain[/i] was immediately out and swirling around like mad. The night aided the vampires, disappearing in and out of the darkness to dodge various attacks. Katima growled as their antics started to infuriate her. They were playing with her, mocking her, just pawding their prey enought o make it squeal. She could see it in their eyes - the happiness of their overwhelming odds. " Well well well... if it isn't Katima...." one strutted forward saying. " She's with Kalei's bunch isn't she?" " You shouldn't take about that woman.... that woman that Lord Malik is interested in," another one said, hissing in disgust at the mention of Kalei's name. " Don't you dare insult her in front of me you bastards..." Katima growled, her [i]Chain[/i] held tightly in her hands. She had had enough. This was the last straw. A dark flamed ring sprang up around her. The vampires just back at the sudden surprise of the appearance of these flames. " You guys are just asking for it." Katima leapt out of the flames, swinging her [i]Dark Flame Chain[/i] around wildly but precisely, now equipped with two scythe ends. Performing stunts that Olypmic gymnastics would be proud of, Katima started cutting down the ranks of the vampires. But for every one she cut down, two more appeared. This was out of hand. Since when had vampires become this organised, to know when, where and how many of their enemy was appearing. Katima didn't like this. She had become separated from the others the instant of the attack - something that was not advisable against these numbers. She remembered about Richard's and Talyn's condition, hoping to God that they were ok. Then a yell shattered the night air. " KATIMA!" All the vampires stopped their attacks. Katima's head whirled around in the direction of the yell and recognised it's owner immediately. " TEGAN!" she yelled, forgetting about her hate and anger towards her twin, and more importantly, the vampires that surrounded her. She tried to make an escape but they jumped on her the minute she let her guard down. Her body was heavily punished by the vampies, each wanting to either punch, kick or torture her. One final punch to her head and the world started to spin and darkness clouded her vision.[/color][/size]

[size=1][b]Teigra took the back entrance. She looked up at the famed cathedral Notre Dame. It was a very beautiful building, despite its age. Rather grand architecture for its period. Teigra shook herself mentally. [i]No time to be admiring this.... we have a mission on hand...[/i] Putting her coat back on, she took out one of her H&K P8s. The silver streak of metal on the top of the gun made her adrenaline rush through her body at an incredible speed. She savoured the feeling for a few moments before picking the lock on the door into the monk's quarters. Entering into the darkness, Teigra struggled not make any sound. Bits of stone cruched underneath her boots, debris all over the floor.... it was almost like someone wanted to know if someone came in this way. After a frustraing few minutes of tiptoeing through the debris, Teigra made it to the staircase that led up to the main chapel. Slowly opening the door, she looked around to see if anyone was in there, praying at this time of night. She thanked the Lord that no one was. Taking cover behind a statue of the Virgin Mary, Teigra scanned the area. Long pews were lined up in rows with one great aisle down the centre. An extremely large stained-glass relief of Jesus Christ was set high up into the stone wall at the opposite end of the room to Teigra. Silver moonlight filtered through it, giving the place a very eerie feeling. Teigra made a hurried, silent prayer, praying to God to forgive her if she may spoil any of this work in this cathedral in a fight of any sort, before moving to the side of the room, taking cover behind a pillar every few feets along. Then, it started. Teigra had only made it to the second pillar when the sound of the hammer on a gun echoed through the silence. The bullet zipped past Teigra's left leg, leaving nothing more than a scrape. Cursing, Teigra dove for cover back to the first pillar. Whomever it was must have been waiting for her in the silence. Damn bastards.... Another bullet, and then another, and then another. They all hit the pillar she was standing behind. She could hear the bullets ping off of the polished marble surface. " Great.... a gun fight right in the middle of a cathedral.... if Papa and Mama knew, they would curse me for the rest of my life...." More bullets hit the stone, pinging off in all directions. The person who was stalking her obviously knew where she was. Teigra concentrated, trying to find out the source of the attack but the echoes was making it extremely difficult. They had to be from quite a range for Teigra to have heard the gun's hammer hitting the bullet before the bullet hit her. [i]A sniper.....[/i][/size][/b] OOC: To be continued....

[color=#CC0000][size=1][b]Day 0[/b] Allegra's face grew pale. [i]Five hours....[/i] She felt rather ill as she looked around at anything but James. She knew he was trying to catch her eye. " Allegra... you... all right?" he asked, looking as pale as she was. She nodded quickly. In her mind, she could see it happen.... her blood..... She felt dizzy and weak, shivering constantly. James looked at her with growing concern. " Lets go to this puppy show, like the Master [i]insisted[/i] we do," he said. She nodded and follow he and the Master. All her confidence had disappeared as soon as the Master those two words. [i]Five hours...[/i] James and Allegra found a seat in the crowd somewhere and watched the display before them. There was a little murmur around them as the crowd watched these various stunts done by these puppies. Allegra turned to James. This was it. He would have to be the one. " James...." He turned to her, surprised that she had spoken, for she still looked deathly sick. " Yes?" " I... I have a favour to ask you..." " Hm? What is it?" " Well.... I need you to do something for me...." " What's that?" " I can't tell you." James' eyebrow arched. He knew what she meant. It had to be something with her card. " Please... the Master said I only have five hours to do it.... and I want it over and done with...." He could see she was desperate. For her, a woman that spoke with such an air of confidence before the Master's interruption, to turn into this, it must be something she feared greatly. " You need to agree to do anything I tell you.... anything at all.... no matter what it is... please.... I beg of you...." she said, tears starting to form in her eyes just as the Master announced that dinner was to be held after this contest. " Please.... I must do it before dinner."[/color][/size] OOC: Ok Fallen, make your choice.

OOC: Didn't anyone read DC's PM? Aren't we supposed to be in hospitals? [size=1][color=DarkGreen][i]" Mmm..." Raven mumbled as she slowly opened her eyes, the crisp sunlight of early morning waking her. " Morning..." As the sun rose, it illuminated the room Raven was sleeping in. The bright white walls and smell of disinfectants greeted her as she slowly sat up. She had been in this infernal hospital for a while now. She and Kariz had been found after the massacre of the Zodiac by the Yakuza. However, the Greek government, hearing of Raven's condition, decided to fly the two back to Greece for treatment. Now all Raven could do was watch the world go by outside, as if she was a statue. The clinking of the breakfast trolley grew down the hall as her stomach grumbled. She was used to waking at the crack of dawn. It was now habit. Gingerly, Raven slid to the side of her bed and let her feet touch the cold latex floor below the bed. It sent chills up her spine as she crossed the room, switching on the television to listen to the early morning news. [b]Good morning, and welcome to the seven o'cock news. I'm Brian Starch.... and I'm Reza Watkins. Today's top stories are....[/b] Raven walked to the window as the news presenters droned on about rising fuel prices and the taxing of plastics. Why didn't tell have anything on this war between Heaven and Hell? Surely there have been eyewitnesses to their expeditions. Raven couldn't count how many were on that plane they had saved two years that was attacked by winged demons, on their way to Japan. Japan.... Raven shivered. Just the thought about that country made her angry, sad and confused all at one time. Rubedo had left her upon the arrival to the airport. Her heart ached but she firmly pushed passed the feeling. She didn't know why she still felt for him after so long. Then the attack of the Onis and Kitsunes.... then the massacre of the Zodiacs. Her head thumped painfully. " Why..... why did I have to survive when the others were lost?" Her ears pricked up. Something was happening next door with Kariz. She hear another voice... a male one. Raven's hopes soared. Maybe it was Zane. She listened closer. No... it wasn't Zane. It wasn't his voice. Raven grabbed one of her H&K P8s from underneath her pillow and went out into the corridor, concealing the gun masterfully. She knocked on Kariz's door. " Kariz? It's Raven."[/size][/color] [center]==============================================[/center] [font=Times New Roman][color=Navy]It was night on the other side of the world. In Los Angeles, Calfornia, Zane was sitting in the park nearby the hospital where he and Ima ended up after the massacre of the Zodiac. The stars sparkled above him as he looked up at them, his brown hair falling softly to the side. " Two years it's been," Zane sighed. Anger filled his chest. [i]Camilla.....[/i] The Virgo Zodiac she was. He was attracted to her the moment he saw her enter that Spanish restaurant two years ago. A beautiful woman... such a lady... " It wasn't to be..." At the massacre of the Zodiac, she had fallen. And she had fallen gracefully. He would never forgive Reoan for doing such a thing to the woman he was attracted to, and to his most invaluable friends. He knew that Raven and Kariz had survived the attack, but he didn't know where they were these past two years. Normally, he would have felt their presences, no matter how far away they were. But over the last two years, nothing. Not even a slight hint of where they might have been. Standing, Zane made his way back into the hospital, pushing his purple-lensed sunglasses up his nose slightly as he entered the brightly light building. He and Ima had been here for two years, in and out because of various ailments, most of them Zane refused to discuss with Ima, even though he was a doctor. " A doctor second, a Zodiac and friend first." He bade the nurses a good evening. They giggled amongst themselves as he past. They were all very fond of him because of his looks and nature. One had even asked him on a date, unfortunately, they found out how cold he could turn. He didn't mean it, but the thought of romance immediately made him revisit Camilla's death. Treading up the stairs with hands in pockets, Zane made his way to Ima's room. Technically, he wasn't allowed to be outside, but he caused such a ruckus that they had no choice but to let him blow off some steam. Knocking on the door, Zane paused for a moment before asking to enter. " Ima, you awake?"[/color][/font][/i]

[color=#CC0099][size=1]Katima shot a glare at Tegan. " Talk.... hmm.... " she muttered to herself, her cold pink-red eyes piercing Tegan's playful gaze. " Like Talyn said, I'm willing to put aside our 'differences' until we get Kalei back. Then you and I are going to 'talk'." The night's breeze fluttered through her pink hair as the helicopter came closer and closer to Madrid. It was near time to land. Then... then they would find Kalei and Katima wouldn't be in charge anymore... not that her twin hadn't taken the helm since he arrived, not that she didn't like the spotlight taken off her or anything. Scents of blooming citrus trees suddenly brought Katima around. They were flying over the many orchards of Spain. Great vast orchards of oranges, tangerines, blood oranges, lemons, limes and mandarins. Katima breathed in the scents. These were her favourites. They refreshed your body and cleared your mind. " Mmmm..." Katima mumbled as she laid her head back against the seat. " Still your favourites..." Tegan said softly as he too lent his head back into his seat. " We'll be there soon Katima." " Yes... we will be..."[/color][/size]

My grandfather used to tell me the legend about the Chaos Poke`mon, Kageryn, every night before I slept. About one fateful day, the creature would awaken from its slumber and wreak havoc across Kaijin. He used to tell me the last time the poke`mon awoke was when he was an adult. And that a party of brave trainers risked their lives to save Kaijin using their legendary poke`mon. He told of how they battled the large skeletal dragon poke`mon on the sea near my hometown, Windsand Village. They became legends in their own way. My mother and father were two of the poke`mon trainers that gave their lives for the peace of the world, fighting against this terrible evil called Kageryn. I was only small when they left, I don't even remember it. My grandfather said they were so brave, going out to fight a poke`mon that was seemingly indestructable. Their poke`mon, supposably one of them a legendary, fought alongside six other trainers to quell the fear that had sprang up in Kaijin - the fear the Kagryn was going to wipe out all human and poke`mon life on the continent. But now..... someone has woken Kageryn again. And I never thought that I would be fighting it.[/i] [center]=========================================[/center] Welcome to a new RPG peeps!

Because of this, she has high hopes and dreams, and is sometimes aloof. But normally she is brought down to earth by reality. Hardworking, honest, loyal and trustworthy, Reza values friends and family like the most precious gems. Reza's dream is to become a trainer of the legendary dragon poke`mon. But, before that happens, she'll have to become powerful in her abilities as a trainer, and her mind. [b]Bio:[/b] Reza grew up with her grandparents in a small village called Windsand on the second-biggest island in the Wave Islands Chain. It was a small village, but one that was very homey and a perfect place to grow up. A small tropical forest to the north-east of the village, the village sat right near a long golden sandy beach. Day afte day, Reza played there as a child with the other children of the village. All of them were good friends, and promised each other at a young age that they would go on a poke`mon adventure when they became old enough. When Reza was 7, a great storm blew up one day. Her grandfather said that it was because the poke`mon, Luiga, was angry. She and her grandfather had run out into the storm to make sure that his fishing boat was securely tied to the shore. It was on the beach that Reza found a strange silver and grey poke`mon egg. Her grandfather knew what it was instantly and wrapped it up in his jacket tp keep it warm. The storm weathered on for four days and five nights. Reza sat down in front of the fire place, watching the flames, making sure that the poke`mon egg wasn't too hot or too cold. On the night the storm finally blew itself out, the egg hatched and out flopped a baby Lugia. The first living thing it saw was Reza's face. Believing she was his mother, the little Lugia immediately bonded with her. She named him Storm. As they grew up together, they became almost inseparable. Although, technically, Reza is his mother, they seemed more like a brother and sister, knowing what each other were thinking. And, eventually, this communication between the two became telepathic as Storm's powers progressed as he grew older.

[color=#0066FF][center][SIZE=5][u]Information about the RPG[/u][/SIZE][/center] [size=4][u]Chaos Poke`mon[/u][/size] [b]Name:[/b] Kageryn [b]Type:[/b] Dark/Dragon/Fire [b]Appearance:[/b] Looks like a gigantic skeletal western-style dragon with gleaming red eyes and spikes along its back all the way to its tail. [IMG]http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/7026/p31393904gh.jpg[/IMG] [b]Description:[/b] It is also called the apocalypse poke`mon. When it appears, it causes destruction and devastation everywhere. It has the power to wipe out an entire city in one powerful attack. Although many people have tried to find the place in which it sleeps, no one has succeeded. It is impossible to capture, and it seems only attacks from other legendary poke`mon have an effect on it. [b]Attacks:[/b] 1. [i]Dark Eraser[/i] ? a powerful red beam that is able to wipe out an entire city. The beam originates from Kageryn?s mouth. Its whole body glows a dull red before the beam shoots forth. 2. [i]Black X[/i] ? a combined dark/fire version of Fire Blast. 3. [i]Shadow Blaze[/i] ? a combined dark/fire version of Flamethrower. 4. [i]Infernal Rage[/i] ? when attacked, this counter-attack is used. Kageryn rapidly fires combined dark/fire fireballs at the attacker. 5. [i]Darkening Heart[/i] ? a dark flame aura flares up around Kageryn, upping all its stats greatly. 6. [i]Dragon?s Shadow[/i] ? Kageryn puts up a dark-coloured defensive barrier that also raises evasion. This barrier stops all forms of attacks except attacks from legendary poke`mon. [size=4][u]Region[/u][/size] [b]Name:[/b] Kaijin [b]Number of gyms:[/b] 6 [b]Areas:[/b][LIST] [*]Thunder Plains ? a large grassy plain where electric poke`mon are most common. It?s called the Thunder Plains because thunderstorms occur there very often, making it a perfect environment for electric poke`mon. [*]The Wave Islands ? a chain of islands just off the coast of Kaijin. It is a sanctuary for any sort of water poke`mon and tropical land poke`mon. [*]The Icy Mountains ? a range of mountains on the northern most region of Kaijin. It is inhabited by many ice poke`mon, although some rock and flying poke`mon also exist there. [*]The Underground Cavern ? this series of tunnels and underground cavern is a haven for rock, ground, steel and dark poke`mon. The cavern was made by an underground stream over a period of a million years. The deeper into the cavern, the more powerful poke`mon are encountered. [*]Greenvale Forest ? this overgrown forest is the place for grass and bug type poke`mon. The dense foliage and plentiful water and sun makes a perfect environment for the poke`mon that live in the forest. [*]The Abandoned Industrial District ? in the biggest city on Kaijin, there is an abandoned industrial district that is over-run by poison type poke`mon, along with ghost poke`mon. The area in this district became too polluted, therefore, making a place for poison poke`mon to live. The ghost poke`mon live in the abandoned warehouses, haunting them. [*]The Psychic Houses ? spotted all over Kaijin, there are abandoned houses. These houses are the homes of psychic poke`mon. These houses were once used by a company that tested the psychic capabilities of humans. With this history, the psychic poke`mon were attracted to the equipment and eventually pushed the company out of the houses. [*]The Volcanic Springs ? this area of Kaijin is known for its hot springs. People often come to visit and relax in the hot springs to revitalise themselves.

She lived with her only guardian, her elderly grandfather. They didn't have much money since neither of them could get work. Her grandfather was too old and Raven was too weak to do any work for the nearby farmers. They lived off the land, gathering what food they could to eat from nature. One day when Raven was 7 years old, her grandfather grew gravely ill. In order to pay for a doctor and medicine, Raven sold herself as a slave to one of the farmers to pay for her grandfather's well-being. Forced to do work from before dawn until well after dusk, Raven withered away and became frail. The endless hours of labour and little-to-no sustainance were taking a toll on the small child. Her grandfather watched on helplessly as she got whipped for collapsing in the field day after day. In one incident when she was being punished, Raven managed to electrocute the punisher to death. At that moment, she enjoyed the feeling of killing. Like all Gemini, Raven has two sides. In this incident, the evil side emerged. From then on, Raven grew stronger and stronger, becoming more resilient and confident. Years later, after her grandfather's death, Raven joined the police force. The reason was because of her upbringing. She wished for no other to feel the injustice of slavery and punishment. As the years progressed, Raven grew into one of the best police officers in the country. Her resilience, courage, intelligence and never-say-die attitude made her who she is. [i]Before present day...[/i] Raven had met Rubedo, a guardian, in a rather strange fashion. Being a police officer, she arrested him for certain offences he had committed. While in prison, Rubedo shared some information on who and what Raven was, even letting slip a little about himself. Rubedo managed to escape with Raven's help in a fantastic plan which involved the electric chair and execution. After a while, Raven began to warm to Rubedo before two other Zodiac turned up - Ima and Kariz. While leaving Rubedo to fight against the angel named God's hand, the three Zodiac flew to Morocco to find another Zodiac, the Pisces. There was a rather tense moment between the Zodiacs when shadow demons attacked them at Zane's house and when a new arrival to the ranks appeared in the form of Ben. Then the Zodiacs flew to Japan, to find one of the last Zodiac. At the airport, Rubedo decided to leave to search for something. He had been at Raven's side until that moment. The parting was painful, but Raven decided that she would see him again... someday. After the massacre of the Zodiac, Raven returned to Greece and back to her job as a police officer. However, her job was never the same again. She couldn't stop thinking about the surviving Zodiac, Reoan, her duty as a Zodiac, and most of all, Rubedo. She used her electric powers to help her in cases, and even revealed all her true powers to her Chief, which was a little startled at the start but accepted them greatly as an asset. She returned to her apartment, some of Rubedo's belongings still there.[/COLOR][/SIZE] [COLOR=Navy][FONT=Times New Roman][b]Name:[/b] Zane Wyatt [b]Height:[/b] 6' 1" [b]Weight: [/b]88 kg [b]Age:[/b] Body - 29 Soul - 252 [b]Appearance:[/b] [IMG]http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/6641/guys528xs.opt.jpg[/IMG] [b]Race:[/b] Pisces [b]Position:[/b] Against Reaon [b]Power:[/b] [i]1.[/i] Illusion - Zane can create any illusion.

There he grew up a peaceful and calm child. Nothing much seemed to bother him. All the way through primary school and through high-school, Zane was the mediator - the cool, calm and collected guy. He was very popular with the ladies and had a great many friends, both male and female. Throughout his compulsory schooling life, Zane worked hard and received very good grades. At his graduation, Zane was the one who made the farewell speech for the departing seniors. He wove his words around the audience and captivated them, causing most to break down into tears. Unknown to him, that was the first time he used his power of creating illusions. Continuing on, Zane was granted a scholarship in Cambridge with aspirations of becoming a doctor. Ever since he was small, he wanted to help people and creatures. If ever he saw an injured bird or small animal, he would pick it up, take it home and care for it until it was well enough to fend for itself again. Five years later, Zane completed his degree with Honours ahead of scheduled time. He worked very hard, his passion for helping people growing. After graduating at the top of his class, he moved to Morocco where there was an abundance of work with the poor and needy. He has been living there ever since. [i]Before present day...[/i] Sensing when the other Zodiacs arrived in his country, Zane invited them to have dinner with him. He became particularly interested in Camilla when she entered into the restaurant all the Zodiacs and Rubedo were supposed to have dinner at. Afterwards, Zane displayed his Evil Eye ability to the group via the attack of a group of upset men. He accompanied the Zodiac group to Japan to find the other Zodiac after being attacked by more demons on the plane. Zane returned to Greece with Raven, since his home in Morocco had been destroyed by the shadow demons. He helps Raven with her work and helps the less fortunate people in Athens.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[color=#CC0099][size=1]Darkness started to envelop the helicopter. Katima felt the darkness come. It assured her... somehow. Darkness was always associated with vampires, because of their night-time activities. But Katima had both things vampires were related to: darkness and fire. It scared her a little that her powers revolved around these two elements. It wasn't by choice, just happened that these were the easiest to use and the more powerful ones. Finally, the sun hid its blazing head behind the horizon. The world was now asleep. Supposably. Katima shivered as the chill air hit her skin, causing goosebumps. In a matter of two days, her entire world had turned upside down. Tegan's return, attacks from vampires in public, news of Kalei's escape - she didn't know what to think next. The vast ocean flit underneath them as the helicopter headed for Madrid. Katima looked at Tegan with a sideways glance. All she wanted to do was to snuggle up to him. But she couldn't. Her heart wouldn't let her, as much as it yearned to do it. A broken heart... and a confused mind.... what could come next?[/color][/size]

OOC: GOMEN! *bows furiously* Sorry for going MIA on you guys. And you forgots about me..... *cries* [size=1][b]Teigra smiled to herself as the cool night air of Paris swept through her hair. One of the ninjas decided to attack her with a kunai in his hand. Teigra dodged it but the kunai clipped her shoulder, ripping through her mission coat and her skin, blood oozing out. She cursed in Italian before looking at her assailant. " Bastard..." she spat. " This is my favourite coat!" Teigra tenderly took off the coat and set it down on a nearby bench. Looking back at him, Teigra took out throwing knives in one hand and throwing needles in the other one. " Lets see shadow against shadow. Asian verus European shadow skills." Teigra held up her weapon, her cat slit eyes looking rather evil in the dull light. The ninja silently slipped into the shadows. Teigra imitated his movements, now more flexible that her coat was off. A whistling sound came towards her. A shuriken. She dodged it by rolling to one side in the darkness. She threw one of her knives. A sickening thud echoed through the darkness. Teigra had hit her mark. Listening intently for the sounds of the now injured ninja, Teigra smiled as she darted from shadow to shadow. It was a game of skill. Adrenaline started to pump through her veins, bringing her to the point of ectasy. A song.... one of her favourite songs started to ring in her ears, making her feel more powerful. She cracked her neck. " Here I come..." she growled tiger-like. Darting through the darkness, Teigra lusted for blood. She wanted to see the precious blood-giving liquid spray from the man's throat. Her whole body shook with tension as she searched for where he hid himself. From the dull light, it looked like there was a small alley. There was a small ruffling sound coming from inside of it. The ninja had pulled himself behind a dumpster, trying to hide from the girl that had hit him. He was amazed with the accuracy she had in the darkness. He, the one who was the most accurate of his group, was beaten by a girl with one shot. These in-training assassins weren't in training at all. They were trained. A sudden crashing of a rubbish can caught his attention. He whirled around so see a cat scatter away. He breathed a sigh of relief before feeling the cold touch of metal against his neck. He froze immediately as he felt the breath of the girl behind him. " You..." he whispered before complete and utter darkness. The body slumped to the ground as blood slowly dripped off the blade that Teigra held. " Rest in peace," she whispered in a short prayer before tracking back through the darkness to Hamano. Appearing out of nowhere behind Hamano, Teigra picked up her coat and looked at Hamano, laying a hand on her shoulder. Hamano jumped and cursed after seeing it was Teigra. " Is that new kid coming soon?" Teigra asked Hamano as they waited for the others to finish their fights.[/size][/b]

OOC: GOMEN! *bows furiously* Sorry for going MIA on you guys. Went home for the week-hols I'm on quite suddenly. XD [color=#CC0099][size=1][b]Before take off...[/b] Katima stormed into her room, her blood red eyes portraying what emotions she felt inside. [i]How dare he.... how dare he![/i] Breathing heavily, Katima flung her left hand out to the side. A blast of wind smashed into the stone wall, creating a great booming sound and a rather large impact hole in the wall. She then threw her right hand out. Lightning sprang from her hand, hitting the other stone wall with its power. Yet another loud boom erupted and another impact hole made. Dark flames appeared out of nowhere and started to burn the furniture in her room. " Why Tegan...... you bastard of a brother....." Katima growled as she kicked her bed, sending it out of the gigantic glass windows, smashing both things to pieces. There was a sharp knock on the door that caught Katima's attention. A voice came from behind the door. " Katima... it's Richard." " Richard.... it's not the best time..." she tried to restrain herself from growling in case it offended him. Silence. Katima sighed. " You can come in, if you are game enough." The door opened and Richard shuffled in rather nervously. He had a right to be nervous. In this mood, Katima was rather blinded to what was around her, including people. A down-side to her blood-rage. She would attack anyone or anything. Richard looked down at the floor, not able to make eye contact with those blood-red eyes. He had only seen them one other time.... and those memories still send chills through his body. Katima sat on the only thing that wasn't destroyed - a chair. The dark flames subsided and disappated. She looked at Richard's nervous stance and sighed to herself, throwing her head over the back of the chair, now inspecting her new view - free of windows. A soft cool breeze caressed her face, calming her. " It's all right Richard. I'm not going to bite you." " .... Mm." " Heh. Don't trust me in this mood do you?" " Not ... after last time." " Last time was an exception." " .... Mm." Katima sighed again. She always had trouble communicating with Richard. He had his own reasons to be silent but it frustrated her sometimes at how silent he was. She crossed her legs and thought about her coat. [i]I wonder if they were able to wash all of Talyn's blood out of it.[/i] " Umm.... Katima...." Richard said. Katima brought her head over to look at him. There was a pink tinge on his cheeks that she had never seend before. It was rather.... funny. She smiled as her eyes turned back their normal pink-red colour. " Yes Richard?" " Well.... um...." Katima was almost giggling at this display. It wasn't like Richard at all to be nervous in front of her after she had calmed down. A maid knocked on the door, interrupting them. She came in at Katima's request, holding Katima's white coat neatly folded in her arms. Katima thanked her as Richard looked at little discouraged at the interruption. [center]----------------------------------------------------------------------[/center] [b]After take-off...[/b] Katima sat by herself on the helicopter. She didn't feel like interacting with the others just yet. She kept her gaze on Tegan, in case he made any movement to come towards her. She didn't feel like interacting with him the most. Those memories of him leaving were painfully replaying through her mind's eye. She cringed at the stinging feelings that entered her body. Watching the others talk to each other, Katima suddenly got that feeling of loneliness. That feeling like she wasn't like any of the others, except for Tegan because they were twins. She wondered if Tegan felt like this too.[/color][/size]

[color=#CC0000][size=1][b]Day 0[/b] Allegra looked at the plain white envelope in front of her. Everyone had left the dinner table, either in panic or in states of shock over their cards. She looked at hers. This was a game.... but by how the Master described it, it was a game, playing with your life. This wasn't unusual for Allegra, being a police officer. Risking her life was part of her job. But this... this was risking your life for whatever reason you joined this little game... and there was only to be one winner. She wondered if this was going to be her end, here in this mansion where nothing was secret, and where everything you desired was given to you. Allegra smiled. [i]If I'm going to play his little game... he's going to have to play mine. Let's test this theory that everything I desire... will be given to me.[/i] Taking the unopened letter, Allegra rose from the table, thanking the servants for their patience, her being the last at the table, and returned to her room. She laid the letter on her mantlepiece and undressed. It was time to think about what she was going to do tomorrow. And a nice hot bath would be the best place. The letter was to be opened just before she went to bed. Allegra walked into the bathroom, keeping the light on per the rules of the house. She was going to have a hard time sleeping with the lights on, but it had to be done. Once the bathtub was full of hot, foamy water, Allegra slowly slid into it. The warmth was just right. Staring up at the ceiling, Allegra planned out her day for tomorrow. She needed to meet as many people as she could. It was necessary to see who the competition would be, but also who she could hang around with. Surely they should have some sort of fun things that could happen to the whole group. She also thought about what she could do tomorrow, how she could test out the Master's ability of fulfilling her desires. A list.... yes, a list would need to be made of her desires, ranking from the least important, to the most important. Smiling to herself, Allegra sank down into the bath. This was definitely going to be interesting. [center]-----------------------------------------------------------------[/center] [b]Day 1 - Morning[/b] Allegra awoke to the bright sunlight shining upon her eyes. The contents of her card was her first thought as she woke. She smiled to herself. " This Master... he is a very twisted person... At least there was no time limit." Allegra then shivered, remembering how much she feared seeing her own blood. She rose out of her bed, took a quick shower before dressing herself in a blue tank top and indigo jeans. It looked like it would be a nice warm sunny day today, and she planned to spend most of it outside. However, a good breakfast was the first thing on her to-do list. Walking to the dining room, Allegra sat herself down at the seat she had sat in the night before. The servants rushed around, bringing her platters of everything she could possibly desire for breakfast, and some things she didn't. Once she had her fill, a maid, the same one that showed her to her room, came up beside her. " What would you like to do today Miss Judas?" " Hmm... I think this morning... I'd like to do archery."[/color][/size] OOC: Anyone is welcome to interact with my character.

[color=#CC0099][size=1]Katima lent against a window's edge, her back to the pane of glass. Fading sunlight shone throught it, silhouetting Katima's figure onto the wall opposite of her. Her thoughts were a jumbled mess. Tegan... Kalei... the others... Malik... the vampires... This war was beginning to spill into normal society. That was very dangerous. Vampires were still legend to normal folk. Not even the governments of the world had any idea that vampires still lived on in this day and age. Katima bit her lip tentatively. She was lost on what to do next. Kalei was still in the hands of the enemy. It was their duty to go and rescue her. She knew what needed to be done. The faint sound of footsteps echoed up through the deserted passageway. Katima looked towards the source of the noise. A shadow was approaching her. This passage was a hidden one - only residents or ex-residents knew of this passage. This was also Katima's thinking place. Who could be disturbing her? As the person approached, Katima could make out red yes and short red hair with a slender but muscular build. A growl eminated in her throat as she felt her anger surge through her body. The glitter of a sword's hilt clasped to the person's back caught Katima's eye. Anger flooded her mind as she felt her own eyes turn the same red colour as the approaching person's. Their clothes became apparent. A tight black muscle shirt and baggy black pants with black boots underneath a body-length white trenchcoat were shown in the dull light. Katima's only thought was... [i]Tegan...[/i] Her twin brother's facial features suddenly came out of the shadows and looked up his sister's with a blank expression. He stopped walking and just looked at her. Katima slowly stood straight, only coming up to her brother's chin. But that didn't stop her from what she was about to do. SMACK! Tegan suddenly flew backwards and landed in a heap on the cold stone floor. Katima stood there with her clenched fist recoiling from the punch. She looked at Tegan with killer instinct in her blood-red eyes as he slowly picked himself up off the floor. Her whole body was shaking with fury. Tegan dusted himself off and looked at Katima again with that blank expression. " Tegan..." she breathed, her eyes cold with fury. [center]----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/center] An extremely loud crash echoed through the entire mansion, rocking it at its very foundations. Everyone looked around in shock. What happened? Everyone in the infirmary was informed by a helper that there was a fight in the foyer. They all rushed out to see Katima attacking Tegan in the foyer, rather large holes in the roof above them. " What the hell is happening?!!" Thayne exclaimed. " Don't you know?" Jade yelled back at him over the sounds of the fight. Everyone was looking at her, waiting for the explanation. " Remember how Tegan left two years ago? No letter, no warning. Imagine how Katima felt to find out one day that her twin brother suddenly upped and left without even so much as a goodbye!" " At any rate," Tayln started, " We have to stop them! They're tearing this place apart!" " Do any of us have the power to stop those two?" Sin added. Everyone went silent as Katima crashed Tegan into the solid wooden doors. They had never seen her so angry before. But she had good reason. Two years without a word, and then all of the sudden he shows up out of nowhere. And when she needed him the most, he was nowhere to be found. Her [i]Dark Flame Chain[/i] whirled around in her hands. None of the group could remember the last time they had seen Katima's blood-rage eyes. " Damn you Tegan! Why did you leave you bastard?!?!" Katima swore at him as she flung her [i]Chain[/i] at him. Tegan had just stood up from the crash into the doors when he found her [i]Chain[/i] coming at him. He dodged it, luckily. He didn't say anything in retort to her questions, nor her insults. This only made her more angry. " THAT'S IT TEGAN!!!" she screamed. Her [i]Dark Flame Chain[/i] disappated into the air. Katima reached to the outside of either thigh, taking out one of her most deadliest weapons, the Scythe Blade. The Scythe Blade was a four bladed, windmill-like weapon that took a lot of effort to master because it could easily cut off any of your limbs while you were trying to make it revolve. Her [i]Dark Flames[/i] sprang up around the blades as she flicked them out, making the windmill-like appearance of the weapon. " YOU'VE FORCED ME TO DO THIS!" Katima yelled at him. " STOP KATIMA!" Talyn yelled, jumping down from the upstairs, trying to grab her arm. She threw him off, backwards, like he was a doll. Thayne and Sin jumped down too, trying to grab her arms. Tegan stood up shakily, a little blood dribbling from the side of his mouth. He looked at the others struggling to restrain Katima. Richard had joined them and finally they managed to stop her twirling the Scythe-Blades around. Katima glared at Tegan. He knew this would happen. He didn't expect anything less from his hot-tempered twin. Finally Katima calmed down enough for the four men to let her go. She shoved them off coldly, clicking the blades back into their dormant position. Glaring at all of them, Katima strode off into the mansion. Tegan walked up to Richard, Talyn, Sin and Thayne, not saying anything as he watched his sister's retreating back.[/color][/size] OOC: Hope this is ok with everyone. If not, PM me.

[size=1][b]Teigra closed her eyes and let the sharp needle-like wind hit her face, her short black hair fluttering around in it. The atmosphere inside the helicopter was tense and one of slight fear. Her skin prickled at that feeling of fear. Her heart fluttered. Teigra knew she was a strange person when the feeling of fear around her excited her, making her feel like she was in love. Shaking her head, she came back to reality, opening up her cold blue-grey eyes. [i]You are indeed an assassin Teigra. Getting excited from the feeling of fear.... truly worthy of your codename.... like a true predator. Normal humans should never feel this.... I shouldn't feel this... and yet I do, and it makes my adrenaline pump through my body, getting me ready for the hunt. I'm glad that Bobby can't see me like this. I would scare him. Yes.... scare him.[/i] Looking at the ground rush below them, Teigra wondered what this Valkyrie was like in battle. She flexed her fingers, itching to touch the cold silver metal of her H&K P8. It was strange that they'd have a mission their first day of academy. Teigra smiled. She wasn't complaining of course. Maybe she could prove how good she was, or how poor she was. So they could make her into a better assassin. Yes. A better assassin. One that stalks the shadows and pounces without warning. Like the black panther. Teigra lent back into her seat. Soon.... soon they would land in the city of love, Paris.[/size][/b]

[QUOTE=Reiku][color=purple][size=1]Well it all depends what other positions are available, and if we are allowed to take multiple positions.

[color=#CC0099][size=1]Katima awoke to find the pilot telling the passengers that they were about to land and to buckle up. She quickly checked over Talyn, making sure he was ready for landing, the man asleep. Looking over the others, she noticed that Fyuora was awake, but in some pain. [i]All will be well soon everyone. Just a little longer...[/i] Twenty minutes later the plane had touched down and all had grabbed their luggage. Katima hoped that her contacts had sent some form of transport to take them to the Temple. Talyn needed the medical attention of the elders the most, the others needing healers. It seemed only herself had come out of the fight unscathed. Luckily enough, there was three sedans waiting outside. Katima assigned Jade and Sin to drive the other two while she drove the first one, leading them to the Temple. Once everything was packed in and everyone was in, Katima got in the front, started the car and drove off. They passed many of Britain's famous sites like Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London and Big Ben. Out of the main city of London, they drove through the green countryside. It had been a long time since Katima had been to the Temple in Britain. She could see her comrades were tired and aching. [i]Just a little longer...[/i] Another hour and the three cars were driving slowly up a large crushed gravel driveway, the stones crunching underneath the tires. The driveway led to a large old English mansion. It wasn't strictly a temple. but the insides coveyed more of a temple than the outside - a perfect camouflage. Katima parked the car in the parks to the side of the building. Sin and Jade followed suit, parking beside her. Katima got out of the car, looking up at the building. " Here at last.... we'll be safe for a while...." Everyone helped get the injured inside as helpers came out to help with the luggage and transporting the injured inside. Katima made sure that everyone was being tended before walking out of the room, leaving the professionals to their work. She walked up the semi-familar corridors, large glass windows letting in the dull sunlight of England. She wanted news of their situation. " Katima?" a voice came from behind her. It was male, around the same age as Kalei. Katima whirled around. " Ajax...." A man the same age as Kalei walked up to Katima. He had deep forest green eyes and short dark oak brown hair. He looked at Katima with rather a crooked smile on his face. " What are you doing here?" he asked, a definite smoothness to his voice. " I've come to get information..." Katima started. " About Kalei? We know she's been captured. I've been trying to get in contact with Tegan and you..." " Tegan..." " He's here Katima.... he's in Britain somewhere...." " What?!" " He came to us, wondering if we knew anything of Kalei, or anything of you. I told him that we had gotten word that you were coming here for information on Kalei. He told us that he'll come back again soon to check if you've arrived." " I can't believe he's here.... it's been... what, two years?" " He said it would be some reunion." " Mm. It will be." So Tegan knew.... Katima cursed at herself in her mind. That fateful day still was all too fresh in her mind. That day when Tegan disappeared without so much as a goodbye. That day he went away to train by himself in the wilderness of the world. Not a single word she had heard from him from the time he left until this very day. Katima gritted her teeth in anger. He was her twin brother. She had felt so empty without him, but she knew they had to part some day, just not like the way it did. " Katima?" Ajax asked, looking concerned. " Hm? Oh, it's nothing." " Doesn't look like nothing to me." " Just concerned about the others. We took heavy hits before we left on the plane. Some vampires tried to stop us boarding the plane." " Really? Were they his?" Katima nodded. " They had to be. They were more powerful than all of the others we had fought. We were caught off-guard. If Kalei hears of that, she'd beat the living crap out of me." Ajax sniggered. " She would too." " So.... I guess we have to wait..." " I'll make the necessary arrangements with the elders." " Thank you. Make sure my comrades are ..." " They'll be ok." " Thanks." Ajax walked off towards the elders' rooms while Katima stayed in the corridor, standing there in silence. What was going to become of them now?[/color][/size]
