Age: 18
Race: Elemental (fire element)
Gender: Male
Hair: Wavy, black, layered, with purple streaks and a few random red ones thrown in as well. It falls to mid-back and he gels it so it has that just-shagged, messy look.
Eyes: Purple and black striped (he spelled them to look that way)
Skin tone: Lightly tanned, still pale by most standards
Height: 5’8
Physique: Slim enough that he looks girly in most clothes (to his continued annoyance), but without a shirt, he has a very defined build. Not overly muscular, just toned. His hipbones poke out and he is undoubtedly skinny, but he has broad-ish shoulders.
Piercings: Two cartilage, two lobe right ear, one cartilage left, tongue, belly button (not that anyone knows about this one)
Tattoos (he has eight of them): a black rose-type design on his upper left thigh, the Japanese character for ‘fire’ in black on the inside of his left calf, purple and black flames on the small of his back and each ring finger, one black dragon’s wing on his right shoulder, a bolt of lightning on his right foot, and a tribal design on his forehead.
Distinguishing Features: Pointed ears, slight fangs, wears black nail polish and eye liner, likes spikes and leather.
Background: Marren is the child of Stanton Collier, an Elemental, and Mackenna Chance, a witch. His father died when he was very small and his mother abandoned him with his grandfather at the age of twelve. He became very close to his grandfather, to a point where they could finish one another’s sentences. He was educated at a special school in Wales for Elementals and other beings of power. When his grandfather passed away, he was sent to his aunt and uncle’s in London. For the first time, he is being sent to a wizarding school, but he won’t be going alone: many of his friends from Ravenmoore Academy are transferring, including the half brothers who refuse to acknowledge him. Marren has never been accepted at Ravenmoore because he is the child of a human woman. His friends are the fringe of society: Marla, a turned rather than blood-born vampire, Florian, an animator, Adonia, a zombie bound to Florian, and Zane, a demon. The five of them are quite the juvenile delinquents, known as the Patchworks, because they are a mismatched group. Their most frequent clash is with the Points, a group of the most popular and high-standing students including Marren’s brother. Marren is sarcastic and a bit of a b*****d, with a tendency of keeping everyone at a distance.
Personality: A troublemaker, cuttingly sarcastic, and bluntly honest. Despite having friends he never really lets them in. He keeps it to himself, but he is attracted to the same gender. As an Elemental, he needs to find someone of the complimentary Element to balance him out, but has not as of yet.
Other: Spends a lot of time reading or writing, wears mainly black, and loves skin-art (aka, tattoos)
((I have Adrian as a FFVII charrie right now, but he is versatile.))
Name: Adrian Ashcroft
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Race: Half-devil
Human Form
-Hair: Thick, black-brown. It falls to just below his shoulder blades, but it is cut in a bunch of choppy layers and pieces of it stick out all over the place. He has face framing layers and bangs that angle over his left eye. His usual hair style is with his hair down and kept off his face by a headband. His headband is black with white trim.
-Eyes: His iris is the same color as his pupil, making it look like his eyes are completely black. The most distinguishing feature of his eyes is a thin line of white that extends from just above the top of his irises, through his pupil, and ends just below the bottom of the irises, making them appear catlike. These do not affect his vision.
-Skin: Pale, just the barest hint of color in him. He looks slightly tan in some lights, but he is almost perfectly white.
-Height: 5’11
-Physique: Strong but girly. Broad shoulders, muscular back, arms, and abs, not grotesquely muscular, just well defined. He has very long, slender legs and a rather girlish appearance in spite of his fitness, but he is obviously male.
-Piercings: Right corner of lower lip and cartilage of left ear. He wears a small silver hoop with a snake on it in his lip piercing, and a plain metal ball in his ear piercing.
-Tattoos: Pentacle at the base of his neck, black flames at the base of each ring finger.
-Distinguishing Features: Aside from his eyes, Adrian is a rather unobtrusive person. He is almost silent when he moves and often sneaks up on people unintentionally. He has stitch-like black scars on his back, one on each shoulder. They extend the length of his back.
-Personality Description: Adrian is a very good judge of character. If he likes you, he is very friendly and has a good sense of humor. He doesn’t reveal much of his personal life and prefers to keep most details about himself to himself.
-Background: Adrian was a part of the Militia, the army of the Axis Company. Axis was something of a prototype that President Shinra emulated when creating his own company. The CEO of Axis had an almost demented fascination with black magic and demons. Based on criteria only he understood, he tried to make his ‘pet’ soldiers into vessels for dark spirits. The company lost control and these part-demons, Adrian included, destroyed the facility, except for the underground laboratory where they were created. Magic was used to seal them inside until the laboratory ‘Rose above the clouds.’ So when it is unearthed by Shin-Ra during an excavation, hell literally breaks loose. They Mistborn, as the twenty of them are called, are placed in SOLDIER.
-Fighting Style: Adrian’s specialty is fighting. Because of his demonic blood he is faster, stronger, and steadier than most humans, but he doesn’t lord it over others. His preferred method of fighting is martial arts, or other hand-to-hand combat forms. If he can’t fight with his hands, he likes guns.
-Gun: Adrian’s gun is made of a special rusty red metal. The handle is carved with a dragon’s head, with two garnets as eyes. The weapon itself is carved with runes and the Latin phrase: Primus Apud Peccatores, Primus Apud Afflictos; which means ‘First among sinners, first among Sufferers.’ The weapon is Elemental, specifically a dark weapon. When he attacks his sword has an additional magical attack called the Encrypt, which seals the foe in a shadow vortex that steadily steals health points and disables magic. The stock has a short black chain with a flame attached. The gun is called Oathkeeper.
-Other: Adrian is a very deep thinker and sees Vincent as a mentor. He is a model SOLDIER.
-Quirks: Tends to turn his head to the right when speaking. Hates having people touch his hair, neck, or basically anything else, because he is hypersensitive to touch.
Demon Form:
-Adrian’s inner demon is a separate personality; he talks to Adrian, advises him, and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Adrian has very firm control over him, but when he feels extreme fear, or is in danger, his demon takes over. He can also will him to take over, but he prefers not to.
-Name: Stanton
--Title: Stealer of Hope
-Nickname: Atrox
-Physical Differences: When Stanton is in control, the white flaws in Adrian’s eyes glow. He has vampire-esque fangs and his hair is streaked white. Thin black lines extend from the top of his eyelids to just above his brows, and from the bottom of them to the middle of his upper jaw. Similar marks extend from his lower lip in the places where his fangs would hit. They stop at his chin. Adrian also becomes more muscular, and usually winds up shredding his shirts.
-Distinguishing Features: The most distinguishing feature Stanton has is his wings; they are approximately eight feet tall and five feet wide. They are leathery to the touch, and instead of being feathery they are a membrane stretched across bone, like a bat’s. They are black-brown, with three very sharp claws at the top. When he isn’t flying, Stanton folds them around him and the claws clasp under his chin like a cloak. His human hands become clawed as well, and he has a tail that is about three and a half feet long. It resembles a devil’s tail, but it also appears to have black flames licking up and down it. Around his upper arms, ankles, wrists, and neck are iron bands with shredded bits of chain hanging from them, like he broke his restrains.
-Voice Differences: While Adrian’s voice is very expressive, Stanton’s has no inflection whatsoever. He always sounds monotone, cruel, and sadistic.
-Weapon: Atrox wields a dark blade that is an enhanced version of a human broadsword. It is made of the same red metal as Oathkeeper. Its blade is two feet longer and curved like a scythe. The entire sword is etched with runes of binding and containment, designed to keep Atrox’s power under control. The handle is carved with an eye, the pupil of which is set with a garnet. The handle is chain-wrapped and the inverted pentacle hanging from the chain glows red. This sword’s name is Dominion.
Name: Asher
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male
Race: Lycanthrope
Background: Asher was part of a group of soldiers used in a genetic study to try to create supersoldiers. Of the original thirty six, twenty of them survived. Their DNA was extracted and combined with that of the wolf. It succeeded in giving them super strength and agility, but a side effect causes them to become fully fledged wolves once a month. The six strongest, including Asher, were submitted to further testing in which they were killed and brought back to life as part of experimental anatomical reconstruction. Asher does not know his last name or how old he is. He was twenty nine when it happened, and he hasn't aged past that point.
Animal Form: Asher takes the form of a blue-black, blue eyed wolf. He is one of the biggest in his pack, about three times the size of a normal wolf. As a high-level pack member, he retains the ability to speak and presence of mind while in animal form. He can transform at will but once in animal form, he must remain that way for at least eight hours.
Personality Description: Asher retains the demeanor of a soldier, meaning he has almost no sense of humor and has an all-business attitude. He comes off as cold and indifferent, and most of the time doesn't speak even when expected to. Most of his pack members haven't heard more than a sentence from him. On the rare occasions he does speak, his voice is deep and chill-enducing, and it sounds cruel even when he is speaking kindly. He is prone to long, brooding silences and fits of anger and bitterness over what happened to him. He always makes eye contact and the intensity of his stare frequently causes discomfort. His nickname with the vampires and other lycanthropes is Death.
Pack Position: He is beta male of the pack, meaning next in line for pack leader. But because he is compassionate, he can't bring himself to kill his leader without a just cause. He looks after the newest pack members, helping them through their first transformation. But he is also the enforcer of pack law. This often means he has to kill humans or other preternatural creatures that learn of them or threaten their territory, or that he has to punish lower-level pack members for disobeying pack law. He does not have a mate. The younger pack members assume that the leaders' eyes are a weird sign of Army brotherhood, not that they're real.
Other: Asher has learned not to trust anyone and carries a 9mm with him at all times. His skin has a waxy quality to it, and his eyes are dark blue with no white in them. His hair does not grow, because he is technically dead, and normally he has it back (down in the pic, though). Asher is the owner of a small club called the Lunatic Cafe, which is used as a cover for pack meetings and pack business. He performs a lot of the jobs such as bartending and busing tables by himself. All of the employees are pack members. His biggest bad habit is smoking. He doesn't bleed and he is difficult to kill, because he is technically dead; silver is just about all that hurts him. He is excellent at tracking.

Unknown Artist
By The-Closet-Monster (<3333!!!)
Name: Valentine Maxwell
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Race: Vampire
Background: Valentine has two biological siblings, Jagger and Luna Maxwell, both older. His family is outcast in the Underworld because they refuse to feed on humans. Instead, they hunt animals or get blood from bloodbanks. His father and mother both work as surgeons in a large hospital, so they have access to medical blood as well. Valentine still attends high school, because he looks young. His older siblings supposedly attend college. They can walk about on cloudy days but are forced to stay inside on days where there is direct sunlight.
Physical Description: Valentine is about six feet tall, and less muscular than his older brother. He has shaggy white hair that sticks out in all directions, and falls to about his shoulders. The ends are tipped with pastel blue and pale green. His eyes are the same colors- left eye is green, right eye is blue. He wears Goth or punk-ish clothing, paints his nails black, and is very rarely seen without headphones attached to his ears. He has six holes in his right ear and seven in his left, plus a tongue ring. He has two tattoos, a pentacle on the inside of his left wrist and the Roman numeral 'XXXIII' on his right shoulderblade. He frequently wears eyeliner and a large amount of patchouli oil. His skin is waxy white, unless he has fed recently, and then he looks like a normal if pale human boy.
Personality Description: Valentine is an excellent student, so much so that he is told not to raise his hand in class. The teachers are willing to overlook his frequent unexplained absences at school because he has such high grades. He is a very laid back young man, quick to smile and not one to pick a fight. He has a good sense of humor and is very friendly. In spite of that, very few people really know much about him. He has two close friends, Ayden and Hunter, who are rumored to be cousins of his. Valentine loves music and has a collection of all different kinds. He is an artist and oil paint is his medium.
Other: Valentine is one of the few students who doesn't drive, unless the weather is really bad. Most of the time he rides to school on a coffin-shaped skateboard, which he customized himself. On the occasions that he does have to drive, he drives an older Camaro, which is bright green. It has a specialty sound system that makes up for the rather ordinary outside. No one really knows where he lives, just that it is outside of town. He works nights as a DJ on a metal station. His entire family is 'deathly allergic' to garlic. Valentine is a bit of a recreational drinker, and he smokes on occasion.
Name: Nessa Lissesul
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Race: Neko
Background: Nessa is British by origin, and retains his accent. When he was twelve he ran away from his abusive home and came to Japan to live with his older cousin Kazuma, and Kazuma's life partner Sakima. His cousin became his legal guardian and stopped his parents from taking him away again.
Physical Description: Nessa has the over-stretched look of a teenager who has grown a lot in a very short amount of time. Currently, he stands about 6'2. He is pale enough that most just assume he's albino. His hair is white-blond, mostly waist-length, cut in layers. He has larger than average ears, tipped purple, and a longer tail. His right eye is the same shade of purple as the tips of his ears. His left eye has a scar running through it and is completely white- he can't see out of it, and normally wears a patch over it. His hair is almost always tied back in a ponytail, pulled over his left shoulder. He hates people touching his hair.
Personality Description: Nessa's passion is astronomy. He has a state of the art telescope and hundreds of attachments, along with his own personal observatory built on the roof of Kazuma's house. He used astronomy to find his way to Japan and has been mapping the stars since he was nine. His chart is currently the size of a large rug. Since he spends most nights working on it, he frequently falls asleep in class. He has been sent to the headmistress many times for not paying attention and because of his low grades. His teachers don't really like him, because he is always sleeping and failing tests. Nessa is a loner, and most people who talk to him are answered with biting sarcasm. He finds most kids his own age either unbelievably dull or completely stupid.
Other: Nessa is a gamer, particularly Wisdom Redemption, and any time not spent on astronomy is spent playing games. His personal hero is Tseng of the Turks, from Final Fantasy VII. He and Kazuma don't have a lot of money, so his diet mostly consists of Ramune soda and junk food. Nessa is a chronic smoker, and usually goes through a pack a day. He doesn't know it yet, but he is the Stainless Sacrifice.
Name: Maeve no Delaunay de Riordan
Nickname: Risky
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Background: Risky joined a band called Dirge right out of high school, and their career quickly took off. At the record company's suggestion, they transferred from Los Angeles to Tokyo and are currently working with two other American bands on the international circuit.
Physical Description: Risky is very tall for a girl, 5'11. She is rather self-conscious about her height and the fact that she is masculine in appearance. Her hair is waist length, dyed deep navy blue and streaked with cyan. Her bangs are cut so that they fall into her left eye. Her eyes are the same cyan color, flecked with black and gold. She wears dark eye makeup and dark blue lipstick. Depending on her mood, she wears her hair several different ways, but back in a ponytail or with a bandana on is the most common. She is extremely thin, making clothes that fit difficult to find. Her right ear is pierced six times, her left ear seven times, her right nostril, and her tongue. She has a phoenix design tattooed over her heart, and flames tattooed at the base of her ring fingers.
Personality Description: Unless she is on stage or with people she has known for a long time, Risky doesn't talk much and prefers to just take in her surroundings while her bandmates handle the talking. She is a skilled bassist and has a good singing voice, although she doesn't sing in concert often. She doesn't speak Japanese as well as her bandmates, which also presents a hardship. They all love Japanese music and style, while Risky prefers British music. She has a bit of a hot temper, especially when it comes to her appearance. When angry, she will more likely lash out physically.
Other: Risky is allergic to cigarette smoke, and if exposed to it she will go into long, painful fits of coughing. She has no romantic interest and prefers to keep it that way. Her closest friend is Dirge's lead guitarist, Serena.
