-Ellie
-Stella
-Elle
-E
Background?
Estelle Gaumond (born Lyra Tionemum) was born January 23rd 11870 (1994) in the Palace of Zabruytune. She lived as the Princess of the Zabruytunian Empire for two months before her mother, Soe Tionemum, left the Empire to create her own and take over the entire galaxy, with her older sister, Vita Tionemum. Her father, Jaco Pereilos, sent her in one of the escape pods, which crashed on Earth on March 27th, 1994. Estelle was found by a highway leading into Quebec, Canada. She was then brought to a hospital, where she was later adopted by Charlisa and Pierre Gaumond. She grew up with a love for flying (something her mother hated). She always wanted to learn how to fly a plane and become a pilot. She would later be accepted into the University of Toronto for Astro-Physics.

Excellent! Very nice!
Thanks!
No problem.
Nova Marie Feng
Nova Marie Feng was born to Eden and Ludovik Feng in the Upper District of Zion City. She had a simple childhood, happy and innocent. At eight years old, her parents split, causing Nova to be raised by her mother while her father returned to the Lower District.
Eden was terrified her daughter would grow up bad and became a strict mother. Nova began to rebel against her mother's grip, breaking rules and causing trouble at home and school. After a particularly harsh fight, Nova escapes to the streets of the city, finding her way to the Lower District, where she finds her father.
Intrigued by the Lower District, Nova returns time and time again. With her visits becoming more frequent, Ludovik introduces his daughter to his world, The Crimson Feng. Nova eventually drops from school to become a full member of the gang, much to Eden's horror.
She's confident and takes no shit from anyone. She's one of those 'tries to be bad-ass' types.
Her reputation. The people of Zion City know her well as the child criminal, which is further cemented by the government marking on her face. This makes jobs in the Upper District easier because people don't want to provoke her, but it also makes them harder because she's so easily recognizable.
Nova is skilled in close combat, and parkour-like movement from numerous chases across the Lower Districts rooftops. She also is good at intimidation.
Negative personality faults wise, she can be aggressive at times, and tears, raw emotion, and vulnerability make her uncomfortable. Plainly stated, she's not in touch with her sensitive side. Fatal flaw wise, it's near impossible for Nova to turn a blind eye to someone's suffering.
Despite not being very sensitive, Nova has a hidden kindness, and she often refuses to take credit for anything good she does. Also, she's bisexual.
Name? Along with nicknames if you want!
General Nyir Heol, with no nicknames to speak of.
Background?
Nyir was born in the Lower World, a literal underground society, in a relatively poor family. Both of her parents were Scavengers, an honorable profession that led them above ground often, and originally Nyir was going to be the same. However, they noticed early on that she was too intelligent to merely be a Scavenger. They put her into accelerated courses so that she could become a Researcher. It was during her time at the Research Institution that she met Yuu'mi, a brilliant man, and fell in love. They were married when she was 20, and had their first child when she was 21. A few months after the birth of her son, Nyir decided to switch careers. She wasn't interested in Researching, nor was she very good at it. She wanted to be a Chaser –a warrior who goes above ground to fight Dragons. Although her husband was reluctant to support her at first, he soon realized that she truly wanted to be a Chaser, and decided to go into Dragon research. He'd often tag along with Scavengers or Chasers above ground to do research on the surface. 12 years of innocent bliss flew by, until one day he didn't come home. His body was found later on, torn to bits by a Dragon. After that, Nyir vowed to gain vengeance, promising to kill every Dragon she could until her death.
What is the best thing about them?
Some would say her drive, her motivation, is the best thing about her. But her motivation is nothing but a thinly-veiled suicide mission, fueled by suppressed grief and anger. Her true merit lies in her leadership ability and her intelligence. She is incredibly strategic and smart, and typically a few steps ahead of everyone around her.
Anything special that they bring to the table?
Again, her leadership ability. She is also an incredible warrior, which helps her lead her Chaser regiment.
Abilities, skills, talents and powers?
Most people in her universe possess a genetically engineered mutation which allows them to teleport small distances with many limitations and rules. She excels at this. She's also very good at reading people and understanding their true motivations, and offering no-nonsense advice.
Aversions, faults and weaknesses?
She has a strong aversion towards weak-willed people. She's extremely reckless when it comes to her own life, disrespectful towards everyone, stubborn, inflexible, and stoic. Her personality is a mixture of suppressed grief, anger, and guilt. A true pessimist.
A fun-fact?
She has a sharp wit and dry humor, especially when drunk. If she's drunk, she's as close to goofy as she can possibly get.
All of these are gold.

Name: Yamatsukami (Yama, Yamatsu)
Background: Half-Dragon living near the Silver Mountains, grew up within the range with his parents (Gawain, the Mud Dragon and Guinevere, the human). He lived there for around 50 years until he was… uh… persuaded by his parents to go find a job rather than lazing about at home. After 50 years, surely opinions about half-breeds must have changed, right? Nope. He was forced to do some shady oddjobs, as they would be the only people that would hire a Half-Dragon that can use Earthbending. Magic is also illegal (and exceedingly rare, even among dragons), so he was currently 0-2. During all of this, humans were advancing and slowly taking over. Dragons and Wyverns never see eye-to-eye, but humans are a bit too big for their britches, so to speak. Their arrogance and technological prowess make them a threat to both species, but Wyverns are suffering the most. Due to overhunting and use of their body parts as materials, Wyverns seek revenge and try to start a war with the humans. Dragons don't like what humans are doing, but extinction doesn't seem like the best option. With mounting tension, Yama realizes that he may have to fight in a war that will decide the course of history. At least it's a good excuse to get some work done in his forge!
Best thing about him: He's part frickin' DRAGON! Wings, tail, scales, fire breath, the whole nine yards! He's human enough that he's bipedal and has far less magic (and fire breath) than his father, but he can speak both Common and Dragontongue.
Anything special: He's a master blacksmith with decades of training, and has a personal hoard of weapons that he employs regularly. He also primarily uses heavier weapons in a fight.
Special Abilities: He can Earthbend, meaning he can move rocks, minerals, and metal with his mind and a hand gesture. However, he's limited by volume. However, that volume is about the size of a large shed, so it doesn't matter that much.
Weaknesses: His human side means that he's limited to how much fire he can produce, and it took him years to even be able to lift a stone without touching it. Earthbending is like a muscle, needing to be exercised or face atrophy.
Aversions: Deathly afraid of bugs and spiders.
Fun Fact: He can cook and garden quite well thanks to what his mother taught him.
I'll probably come back and fill this out multiple times because I love talking about my characters. I'll start with Ara though, because I feel like he's kinda underrated.
Name? His full name is Arakel Raphael Azaryan, but he mostly goes by Ara for short.
Background? Ara was born in Montreal, Canada to an Armenian couple. Growing up, Ara's family didn't have a lot of money, so his parents were often working long hours to make ends meet. Even though his parents weren't always around, he was still very close with them.
He had a pretty normal childhood, and eventually went on to go to university all the way on the other side of the country in Vancouver where he studied to become a trauma surgeon. Also at some point while he was at university he discovered that he had telepathic abilities (It was part of an experiment that he has no recollection of, but I'm still working on this aspect of the story). He kept these abilities a secret, because he doesn't like to draw attention to himself and didn't know how to explain them. He eventually met Andor, another guy with the same type of powers. The two of them have been trying to come up with theories to explain their powers, but their clashing personalities have made that very difficult.
What is the best thing about them? In my opinion? His humour. He was never meant to be a funny character, and he isn't really. He is, and always has been a very serious guy but he definitely has a very blunt and sarcastic streak that makes him really fun to write. A lot of my favourite bits of dialogue come from Ara.
Anything special that they bring to the table? He's a trauma surgeon, so he's very intelligent but he's very quick to act and does well under pressure. He's also the "mature responsible adult" of the group (Which is kind of important when you realize what the other characters from his story are like).
Abilities, skills, talents and powers? Obviously he knows a lot of medical/ first aid stuff. He also knows a lot of useful facts (and useless ones as well). He's really good at things that require a lot of logic and thinking. He can also read minds, communicate telepathically to certain people, and has some telekinetic abilities.
Aversions, faults and weaknesses? Really stubborn, never admits that he's wrong, arrogant, often condescending towards some of the other characters.
A fun-fact? I'm going to share two:
These are very good.
Name? Along with nicknames if you want!
Louise.
A lot of people call her 'Commander'
Background?
She's an angel, not a biblical angel though. Here are a list of traits just so we're on the same page- have talons in place of finger nails, short on average, hair is styled backwards (naturally), large wingspan (angels have a long humerus like in human arms (the upper bone that connects to the shoulder)), commonly warriors and blacksmiths, culturally love dancing and singing (other races got this from angels), feathers, hair and eyes can change colour but they have a default, all angels are born and die with white colours, if they break the law or abuse power etc they fall (all colours turn black over time, can't change colours, lose powers, can't go to the afterlife), sharp hearing and eyesight, have sky related magic (control weather patterns, summon storms, wind, air, etc), angels come of age at 30 (they can have children before then but can only marry afterwards, royalty and nobles must marry for their children to become legitimate, angels don't mind bastard borns…clearly).
Louise was a noble, born to respected warriors. Her parents promised their first born daughter to the king which just so happened to be her. She grew up with many specialised tutors and intense training but she was always finding ways to get out and cause trouble with her two friends and her brother. As she grew older, she was forced away from her usual rebellious nature and her friends. She was locked inside, forced to study everything from politics to languages. The only thing she enjoyed was singing. The king kind of forced his way into Louise's life and was always there. At first Louise saw him as a friend then things started getting weird and she realised some things as she got older…and it gets kind of dark. To sum it up she unwillingly becomes with child and then fakes an accident to kill it which she hates herself for, for the rest of her life. Finally, after an aggressive exchange between herself and the king, Louise ran away to join the human army and fought against the angels and everyone else because she wanted to be rebellious and also was trying to run from her past. She thought joining the enemy would help her find closure. ehh
What is the best thing about them?
Deep down she's caring and motherly. Even though she dislikes the humans (after some things they got themselves into that led up to the war Louise's story is based on) she will protect them fiercely. She says that it's from a sense of duty, being a commander, but in truth it's in her nature to want to protect.
Anything special that they bring to the table?
The power of being stubborn and headstrong. Positive but at the same time negative traits that gets her and her allies places but not always good places.
Abilities, skills, talents and powers?
Louise has powerful magic thanks to her lineage and can summon storms that would be impossible naturally. One of her signature uses of magic is forming clouds and then summoning devastating lightning that can last a lot longer than natural lightning. She's a very skilled fighter thanks to her specialised training but it became a bit too much a part of how she deals with life. She's also a surprisingly talented singer.
Aversions, faults and weaknesses?
Where do I start. Despises being told what to do, could be more empathetic, blunt and bit thoughtless when it comes to others, gets too absorbed in being rebellious, she's not immature necessarily but the fact that she refuses to listen to authority and sometimes acts like an angsty teenager shows her abandoned childhood catching up with her. She's reckless and never thinks about her own safety. She fears authority and others who hold power over her. She's always running from things that can't hurt her anymore. Louise is stuck in the past.
A fun-fact?
Her best friend is a phoenix called Ignavess (all angels have a phoenix companion) and he's just as defiant as she is. They get along well
Name: Alexandra Aliana Steinway
Background: Grew up in a noble household (her father was a Lord) but her house turned traitor against the King of Illaria and were outcast. Her father is now self-proclaimed King Of Gheneta and her mother is Queen Of Ashai however her relationship with both her parents is unstable. She created a mercenary band and recruited a few powerful members who eventually became close friends at the age of 17. At the beginning she only recruited 4 other members: Urma (Queen Of Ursa); Aria (Princess Of Faeren); Jace (a hired assassin) and Logan (a werewolf) and their goal was to overthrow the King Of Illaria and to attempt to introduce a democracy into her warring homeland. At the beginning everything looked promising for them and others were inspired to join due to the strength and battle prowess displayed by the five leaders of the band and they grew in fame and number. After a number off gruelling battles the band which was now easily comparable to the size of a small army finally managed to take the city. The five leaders entered the castle to find it deserted, they spent seven days in there and refuse to speak of what happened during that week but when the five returned from the castle to greet their troops they found a slaughter site as all of their men had been killed by an unnamed power. Blaming themselves, the five parted ways and now Alexandra is a rogue traveller hiding from her past because she's too scared of bringing others to their deaths because of her goals. Therefore she festers in the wilderness trying to work out how to balance her own personal interests and other peoples lives but finding no answer she hides away from the rest of the world in fear - terrified of what she saw in that deserted castle, knowing what it did to her troops.
What is the best thing about them: Is actually quite caring and loving although she tends to cover it up in an icy and cold exterior making her seem untouchable. However, she only does this because she wants to protect everyone which is a goal she already knows is impossible and therefore she deems that if she alienates herself from everyone her enemies won't find and hurt those who she cars about. Once someone becomes special to her there's no going back though, she undoubtedly loyal to them and will always protect them to the best of her ability.
Anything special that they bring to the table: Her mother was actually infertile but she dabbled in black magic to allow herself to give birth to Alexandra's bother Rafal and then later Alexandra herself. This causes the two children to have a connection to black magic. Her brother uses it in a more combat based manner, summoning it to use as temporary weapons and shields in battle whereas Alexandra has a different approach to it. She uses pentagrams to seal black magic and then summons them at will and although this gives the power less strength overall and can't be used in battle as it takes too long to break the pentagrams to release the power she has more control than her brother.
Abilities, skills, talents and powers: She's skilled at controlling black magic but does it rarely because ti drains her of a lot of energy. She's skilled with a sword but prefers to use staffs as her weapon of choice because they provide a more defensive approach to combat. She can also read people very well and uses this to her advantage in subtly manipulating her enemies.
Aversions, faults and weaknesses: Her biggest problem is fear as she has little to no control over it and tends to let it control her and her actions. She'll often find herself running away from enemies that she deems stronger than her and prefers to fight from the shadows if she has to fight at all. She also gives up to easily and often abandons her hopes and goals if she feels it's too difficult.
A fun-fact: She has trained two wolves to be her companions called Noctis and Lux.
Name?
Riverpaw Wolfe
Nicknames?
River
Tiny
Her sister used to call her Fluffy
One of her girlfriends calls her Pupper
Background?
She is a wolf shifter born in the Great Forest, to the lead Alphas of Dawn Pack, Fang and Star. The first three years of her life (they don't go by wolf years) were carefree, playing with the other pups, learning magic, and exploring the forest whenever she could. When she turned four, hunters attacked Dawn Pack during a storm, and her mother and father stayed behind to fight while Riverpaw and her sister, Skypaw, fled with the other children to hide. The hunters chased after them, found them, and Sky fought them off so the rest of the pups could escape. The rain started to pick up, and Riverpaw got separated from them. After a few days of wandering around alone, she was attacked by another predator, but was saved by a White Wolf, a rare species that are seen as angels to wolves, and she (after revealing her name, Tsunami) took Riverpaw to the Forest Guardians, powerful mages that protect the Great Forest. The day after, they helped her find her way back to her pack's territory, only to find it destroyed and abandoned, and she decided to stay with the Guardians. Years into Riverpaw's training to be a guardian, When she turned 12, she started to use magic again, but she is still working on her natural healing ability, so she learns to make potions and do physical healing instead of using magic. One day, after she turned 14, she helped two fauns named Eleena and Molly, who were being harassed by a tiger shifter. She pretty much fell head-over-heels for both of them and was always finding ways to hang out get to know them. One agonizing year of this double crush led to some serious chats with her three best friends and her mentor, Melody, which led to her finally confessing her feelings to the fauns, only to find out that they had been trying to do the same thing. Eleena and Molly asked if she'd go out with both of them, and now the three are quite happy together (yep, gay polygamy, fight me), and Riverpaw continues to progress in her training to be a Forest Guardian.
What is the best thing about them?
She is shy and apprehensive to most things, but she is very protective of those she trusts. She will protect her loved ones with her life if she has to.
Anything special that they bring to the table?
She is the only animal shifter of the Forest Guardians, so being able to go from human to wolf has come in handy.
Abilities, skills, talents and powers?
Aside from her natural healing, she can manipulate nature. But she doesn't use that often enough to be able to control it, so she usually finds herself taking high-steps to keep grass and plants from tangling her. She is also very good baking and calming creatures by singing.
Aversions, faults and weaknesses?
She has astraphobia (fear of thunder and lightning), can be a little clingy to her friends, and is weak to being pet.
A fun-fact?
She once shot a bear with her bow by accident and shunned herself for two weeks.
All of these are quite great, honestly.
