Personality overall
Alexandra, or Alex/Lexie, is an amazonian woman with a heart of gold who doesn't realize her size can kind make her actually kind of intimidating sometimes.
Really she's a sweetie who will go out of her way to help out others. She almost always makes time for her friends and loves to spend time with them. Overall she has a very motherly and open personality that sometimes draws others to her. She's the type of person people could see being a great mom. Though that doesn't mean she's a creampuff that people can easily push around. First off the girl is huge so it's kind of scary trying to be an ass to her. Secondly she has a mean competitive streak that comes out any time someone tries to challenge her to something. While she isn't a sore loser (though passive aggressive sometimes), she loves to win. Or, if she figures she can't win, at least try her hardest and have fun with it.
But the girl has a number of flaws and problems she likes to keep under wraps. Like, for instance, her habit of insisting everything's fine when it very clearly isn't. Alex likes to keep her problems to herself and let them fester inside of her so she doesn't cause others to worry. She's used to being the "rock" for some people, so she's gotten it into her head that she is the one who needs to be strong for others most of the time. She'll even lie about it if she thinks it really shouldn't concern the other. Only rarely does she break down around others and let her more vulnerable side show. Any time she shares these moments with someone else is a sign of absolute trust and comfort around said person. Additionally she has a tendency to judge her own mistakes far more harshly than she would others. Again it mainly has to do with the fact that she believes she must be the "rock" for others 9 times out of 10. Additionally she does indeed have a legendary temper buried deep within her personality that, when provoked, is pretty damn terrifying to witness.
Now despite being the daughter of a retired hunter, Alex doesn't utterly despise the Magi or go out to actively antagonize them. She figures they are people just as much as humans are, and that the whole population shouldn't be judged for the action of the few. Still, she understands that Magi have a natural advantage over humans (oh the sweet irony) with magic. Because of that she is a little more cautious when dealing with them if she unfortunately falls into an argument with one or meets a particularly nasty magi. Overall though she treats them the same as she would another human. The same goes for cyborgs or androids as well.
There is however, oddly enough, a strange side to Alex that only pops out once in a while. Whenever the girl speaks in spanish (which she is fluent in due to her obsession over the telenovelas she frequently watches) her personality takes a bit of a shift. First off she becomes more prone to sarcastic commentary or comebacks. Whereas it's very difficult to find her swearing in the more widespread, common Ethean tongue, in this language there's a far higher chance for her to curse. She also becomes a tad more aggressive and argumentative, so it's much more likely for her to get feisty with someone who has managed to annoy her. Essentially this side of Alex comes with a much weaker filter and a fiery attitude that would resemble the hue of her hair.

[PTab=APPEARANCE]
SO I'VE GOT TO HANG OUT ALL MY HANG-UPS. BECAUSE OF THE BOOGIE I FEEL SO HELL BENT
appearance
There are a large number of very, very obvious signs that Alex is in fact not Daniel Caim's biological daughter.
The biggest, most glaring evidence is Alex's fiery red hair. It's long and wavy, ending low on her back. For this reason she normally keeps it up in a ponytail with a headband to hold back some of the loose strands. The color is very, very bright like a roaring fire, and Alex has gotten a number of comments (both good and bad) on it throughout her life. It's almost a beacon that makes her stand out among others, including her adoptive father. The next bit of evidence is her bright green eyes, which are usually bright and alive with attention wherever Alex happens to look. They sit over high cheek-bones and a pointed chin, with lips that are far more accustomed to smiling than anything else.
Physique wise this girl is basically an amazon. She stands at a might 6'2" and her body is basically one big hunk of refined muscle. Alex loves to work out; she's practically addicted to the endorphin rush she gets. As such her body is in prime condition. Which is good considering she also trains with weapons and spars with others. Due to this there are a number of scars and scratches here and there that line Alex's body. There is one added feature that not many people get to see. During Alex's "rebellious" phase (which she definitely did not have; she asked her dad about this and everything), Alex went out with a group of friends and got a tattoo on her back. It's a tattoo of a light blue lily (ignore the rest of it) located lower down in the middle of her back. Not many people get to see it unless she goes out the the beach in a suit or someone catches her changing (you perv). One odd thing about her is that her back is far more muscled and "thicker" than most people she knows, and her shoulders are particularly broader than the average girl's. From time to time she can feel a good deal of discomfort between her shoulder blades, but she never mentions this to anyone. Her nails are also remarkably stronger than most others' and thick too (which is fabulous for coloring them, but annoying to clip them).
Fashion
Alex actually has a decent sense of fashion about her, despite her dad not being much help. She has a love for dresses and skirts when she moves about casually through town. She still wears pants and all, but it's skirts that hold her favor the most. When it gets colder she usually adds leggings to her outfits along with a coat. When she is training though (or exercising), she often wears shorts and sleeveless tanks for mobility, or actual armor.
Magi of the Slain
Hidden within Alex's DNA lies the genes for her to become a decently strong Air Magi. When her powers manifest Alex will gain:
• Two large, black-feathered wings will sprout out of her back attached near her shoulder blades. This process will be extremely painful and bloody for her when it happens as the wings have to rip out of her back.
• Similar black feathers will grow here and there from her head and mingle through the strands of her hair.
• Her nails will also elongate and darken into thick, sharp black talons.
• Lastly her eyes will morph into green colored slit-like eyes, eliminating the white from them.
Purchased Abilities (Are not present until her magi traits manifest):
Flight: This ability enables a person to fly. Wether that be through the use of wings or utilizing wind magic.
Cymatics I: Is able to sing in such a calming manner where the melody has the potential to lull a living being to sleep. Though in lore such a powerful song has also been written to calm angry vengeful souls temporarily or even spirits.
Cymatics II: (Upgrade of Cymatics I) By producing certain multiple contradicting pitches at once those who hear can grow disoriented and even physically ill. The closer the hearers are the more likely they are to be induced to vomiting.
Cymatics III: (Upgrade of Cymatics II) Now you can create such a powerfully loud crash of sound that hearers will more than likely double over in extreme pain. If victims are not wearing audible protection ears will bleed and have been known to cause at least temporary deafness. Blacking out isn't uncommon either.
Wind I: The user has the ability to create a temporary gust of wind strong enough to lead to a hefty push. On the Beaufort Scale it can be as strong as level six.
Wind II: (Upgrade of Wind I) Winds created can now last longer than just a mere spurt. On the Beaufort Scale a gust can be up to level eight.

biography
Ooooooh we get to the fun part now!
Much of Alex's childhood is mixed up in one big fuzzy blur. She can vaguely recount her parents. Her mother had the same vibrant red hair she had, and her father had a light brown. As far as she can recall, she loved them both dearly. Occasionally she can get snippets of full memory and actively recount an event that occurred with what she assumes must be her biological parents. They're pleasant, if fleeting and incomplete scenes. Unfortunately, both of her parents died sometime during the riots eight years ago, leaving Alex an orphan.
In reality her parents were actually Magi located within one of the relocation camps that rioted. Hallec, her father, was an Air magi while Rosetta, her mother, was a Zero magi. Resentful of their unfair treatment, they still tried their best to raise Alex with the conditions they had while also building up strength to join the rebellion. Alex's parents were part of the force of magi actively attacking anyone getting in their way escaping the camps, and thus were slain by hunters. In particular, Daniel Caim. Alex had already been overwhelmed by the amount of death surrounding her as her family tried escaping the relocation camp. When she witnessed her parents fall, it was too much for the young girl to handle. She fainted and hit her head hard upon the ground, her memories of the past growing badly fuzzy and her recollection of the escape being entirely repressed to save her from the trauma. Instead of killing her too, Daniel took Alex in as his own daughter. Alex has no idea of any of this information.
She hardly can remember a thing about that incident. Her mind always goes black and she only gets an uneasy feeling. The sole thing she knows is that she was picked up by Daniel Caim and adopted as his daughter during that period of her life. She had been at an orphanage when he'd taken her in as one of her own, giving her the last name of Caim. Alex was nothing short of ecstatic to have a new home, though for the first year she retained a little bit of melancholy that she simply couldn't shake. After that mysteriously lingering feeling passed however, she fell completely in love with her new home and family.
As far as Alex was concerned, her father was one of the greatest people she ever knew. Her memories of living with Daniel have always been wonderful and thankfully clear to her mind unlike her past. Ever thankful she'd been adopted, she doted on Daniel with all the love and good-natured worry a daughter could have. He always seemed to be stressed about one thing or another, it seemed. Which was likely one of the reasons she grew up with a very motherly attitude. After one traumatic incident where Daniel tried to cook them dinner, she took over kitchen duty and flourished into a fabulous chef. When Daniel was out busy with one thing or another, Alex would take care of the house and always make it welcome for her father when he returned home. She also ended up bringing in another member to their little family; a small corgi Alex affectionately named Mogi. Quite by accident when she was 16, Alex stumbled upon a little stray puppy wandering the streets and looking horribly lost and frightfully hungry. Immediately falling in love with the little dog loaf, she carried it home and cleaned it up. After begging Daniel to let the little canine stay, Alex took over caring for Mogi like she would a baby. Since then the canine has become exceptionally faithful and loving towards it's amazonian owner, and almost never leaves her side once the girl is home.
As Alex grew older and sped through her education, which Daniel thankfully provided money for her to attend, she decided to go to the Runic University and learn how to wield the runes as well as study up on the culinary arts (that decision all those years ago really ended up positively for her, opening her eyes to her love of cuisine). She still likes to live at home to be there for her father (and cut down on cost, so she wouldn't have to pay to live in the University) and take care of little Mogi. Currently Alex is still studying at the Runic University, getting through her first year. Although her interest has also started to turn a little towards the Hunters and their group, even if it's a faint interest currently.

[PTab=SKILLS]
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, BUT THEN THAT'S NOTHING NEW
Default Skills
Runic Novice: After a lengthy period of time studying the Olden Language you have now been given your first small amount of ink to practice. Well done, student. You can now do Simple Magic Circles with very basic Instructions.
***Your max circle count is 1.
Melee I: Can accomplish fundamental and basic feats with melee weapons. Examples: Knife, Sword, Sai, Hammer, Axe, Whip, Lance, Chainsaw, etc (Alex is most proficient with a spear and small buckler shield) [Taught by Daniel]
Unarmed Combat I: You know the basics and can hold your own in a street fight.
The type of martial art or fighting style is up to you. We trust you to be realistic for what you can accomplish and not accomplish at being a general level one in unarmed combat. [Taught by Daniel]
Purchased abilities
Regression I: You have occasional vague memories of only your most recent past life. Abilities you honed in that past life are ones you can learn at a quicker pace which is reflected on the site through a 5 dollar discount towards all abilities that your past life were talented in. Regressing to your past life's consciousness is only possible at this level through a great deal of outside "assistance".
Regression II: Your memories are more detailed and can go back for up to three past lives. Abilities you honed in those past lives are ones you can learn at a quicker pace which is reflected on the site through a $10 discount towards all abilities that your past lives were talented in. Due to the more powerful link you have now, regressing to your past life's consciousness can now be accidentally triggered. This is a very harsh disadvantage seeing as your past life self will have no memory beyond their own life and death. This has been known to be incorrectly diagnosed as Dissociative Identity Disorder.
Purchased weaponry levels
Melee II: You are now better able to dual wield if you wish to. You are more likely to better a melee level I.
Melee III: Depending on your character's insinuated realism a character can be up to a mastery level with this purchase. Even up to being able to slice a bullet from mid-air. You are more likely to better a melee levels I and II. (Alex is very proficient with a spear and shield)
Throwing I: Can accomplish fundamental and basic feats with weapon. Specialized projectiles now unlocked: Downer: The tip will inject the target with a Downer once purchased
Unarmed Combat II: You have improved in this skill and can accomplish more impressive feats in the fighting technique you've chosen for your character. You are now also able to defend yourself better against melee weapon-ed attacks.
Unarmed Combat III: You are extremely talented in unarmed combat within the field that you have chosen to study in. Not only are you more able to defend yourself against melee weapon-ed attacks but you have a high chance in getting your opponent in dropping their weapon as well if given the chance (the fumble concept also applies to firearms as well).
Skydda: After the events and horrors of the riots, Alex's father went out and got her shield upgraded so that she would be better protected should something as horrifying were to ever happen again. The shield is enchanted to withstand a hefty amount of damage while absorbing shock and deflecting magic that hits it. It can also grow and shrink in accordance with her saying "växa" or "minska" respectively.
Main Rune: Fortify (Hardness)
Outer Runes: Magic Shield, Fortify (Shock Absorption), Delay Grow, Delay Shrink.
Åskledare: After the events and horrors of the riots, Alex's father went out and got her spear upgraded so that she would be better protected should something as horrifying were to ever happen again. The spear is enchanted to that it is harder and sharper than a typical spear, and has the ability to be recalled to Alex's hand when she says "tillbaka." This is done by the spear using a small metal bracelet that came with the newly enchanted spear holding the matching Mark Rune. It also, in addition, can have its blade be infused with explosive electricity whenever she says "strejk". She can turn this part of the enchantment off by saying "stanna."
Main Rune: Delay Focus Greater Lightning
Minor Runes: Delay Reverse, Fortify (Hardness), Fortify (Sharpness), Delay Recall
Purchased Artifacts
Gáe Derg: A six foot crimson spear Blessed by the great huntress. It said that it's blade can hit things even on the Ethereal plain. While touching the artifact, the user gains basic proficiency in the use of the weapon, equivalent to Melee I. Also, while touching the artifact, they receive the ability to sense the general location of a Spirit on the spiritual plane, equivalent to Spirit Sense I.
This was given to Alex by Daniel after the second magi riots

Personality
Likes: Alcohol, The Ocean, Flirting, Her children or kids in general
Dislikes: Slavery, Cruelty, Unfair deals, Coffee
Overall: Annika was a woman who truly lived by the motto “Live, Laugh, Love” to perhaps the most literal extent possible. She was a "larger than life" kind of woman that reveled in excitement and challenge, which often got her into trouble- probably the biggest being her involvement in hindering the underground Surajan slave trade when she was still alive. Though she took her work seriously, doom and gloom never seemed capable of clinging to her for very long. Very much the type to live in the present, she left behind her own fair share of wild parties and lovers in her wake.
However she had her own quieter and darker points as well. On a positive note, she was extremely devoted to her children once she had them. However with her type of work she often had to keep them in the dark about what she was doing. It was a dangerous game she was playing, and having family only gave her enemies more weaknesses to exploit. As such she could come off as emotionally withdrawn or unattached at times. Which could then give way to a terrifying unbridled rage should any of her loved ones actually come under fire from her actions. Because the danger was mainly due to her own fault, she often wrestled with guilt over exposing her children and those she cared for to horrible amounts of danger.

Biography
Annika began her life in the poorest district in the city of Pentos with one sibling: Riette Zeki. Together with their father, they managed to just barely get by day to day. Even with their grim circumstances, Anika’s sister taught her to keep her chin up no matter how dire the situation might be. “Horrible things happen to everyone,” she once told her, “But it is up to you whether or not they get to drag you down.” And it was mainly based off of those words that Anika became the kind of woman she did: one who always pressed her limits and lived each and every moment as if it were going to be her last. Despite their lowly beginning, darkness couldn’t seem to touch them.
However, there was one event that would shape her life forever. Being the poor family that they were, they weren’t exactly as much of a priority when it came to the officers or officials that watched over their city. Which meant it was surprisingly easy for Annika’s sister to be kidnapped by slave traffickers one day without so much as a word of concern from those who were originally meant to protect them. Saying Annika was devastated was beyond an understatement. But where there had once been sorrow grew a horrible desire for vengeance instead. Through training and gathering up fellow family victims of those who’d been wordlessly taken, a small force of angry men and women was formed called the Zincirsiz or “Chainless" with the sole goal in mind being the freedom of their loved ones and the destruction of the black market slave trade going on in their country. Annika ended up becoming one of the few leaders of the group, ruthlessly and mercilessly attacking the slavers and freeing any and all that she could. Though she never managed to save her sister, she vowed to prevent anyone else from having to deal with the same sort of loss.
Even with the seriousness of her mission, she still managed to keep her spirits up and smile more than anything. She ended up having three children- Riette, Hanru, and Shakir- that she loved more than anything in the world and protected fiercely, and married a man named Kasim who worked as her perfect foil. However, her enemies did eventually catch up to her one day. She died in the year 2483 from an ambush set by the slavers she so relentlessly hunted down.
The War Machine
The Basics
Name: Katla Volkov
Era: Industrial
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Regression Purpose: Combat/Background plot
Combat: Melee
Skills
Specialty: Anti-Spirit Combat
Strengths: Fast thinker/Adaptability, Intense combat training
Weaknesses: Personal safety is second to the rest of the team’s, Rash when angered
Items of note: Skulder — A large, custom-made great sword specifically made for the Sál Veiði-maðrs that doubles as a protective shield capable of withstanding a great deal of force. These weapons were only issued to members of the order, and their special design has been kept a closely guarded secret by the Fokradiin military.
Personality
Likes: Starry night skies, Snowball fights, A warm cup of hot chocolate, Peace-filled days
Dislikes: Spirits, Disorderly conduct, Cruelty, Disrespect
Overall: Katla was a woman shaped in order to do one thing: protect her nation. Rigorously trained by the order of the Sál Veiði-maðrs, she was developed to become a hardened warrior capable of dealing with some of the worst threats Fokradiin had to face. As a result, she became a well-seasoned war machine able to think on the fly and react to situations quickly. It was a necessity in order to survive. However, it came at a cost. To most who did not know her well, Katla became cold and practically emotionless. Her job called for sharp calculation and a steadfast will allowing for no hesitation. There wasn’t much room for mistakes to be made, so she carried that knowledge and weight with her always.
However, her teammates knew better. Beneath the cold exterior was a woman truly dedicated to her people. One that felt just as much emotion as the next. When she wasn’t on the job, Katla enjoyed spending time with her family. Plus considering the fact most of her life was filled with insanity and action, all she really wanted was peace and quite. A n uneventful night with her friends and family was more enjoyable to her than anything else. Then she would laugh and smile and feel at ease. Because these were the people she was fighting to protect, and damn if she wasn’t going to give her all for them.
Biography.
Katla’s life started within the capital city of Hjall with 3 siblings: Reinn, Brand, and Arnora. Born as the second eldest, all the Volkov children were immediately thrown into their combat training the moment they started schooling. From a very young age Katla was taught the importance of loyalty to her nation and her people. While her siblings also had this steadfast patriotism instilled within them, they did not really seek out anything past the basic training all Fokradiin children got. They went on to live their lives and get normal civilian level jobs. Not so with Katla.
Inspired by some of the military heroes she read about growing up, Katla was determined to serve her nation with the exact same level of enthusiasm and vigor as those that served before her. Her goal? To join the order of the Sál Veiði-maðrs; an ancient order of specialized warriors dedicated to quelling attacking Spirits coming out of the harshness of Fokradiin’s wilds. It had been formed in the wake of the Great War as a branch of followers of the Goddess Kalidas. Although unlike their Ethean counterparts, they remained solely focused on hunting vicious Spirits instead of magi. For years she trained, putting her body through tremendous toil in order to be in peak performance and earn her place among the great hunters of the order. And one day, she finally did. The years of service she gave working with the Sál Veiði-maðrs were some of the most grueling years of her life. Even more so than her training. Spirits that came down from the northern mountains and tundras almost always arrived with howling roars and murderous intent. It was her duty to stop them at any cost. Her time spent fighting the Spirits hardened her and turned her cold, but she never lost sight of why she was doing this. In times of doubt she always turned back to her family, and her fighting spirit would return.
Though Katla formed herself into an effective war machine against the Spirits, she always remained thankful for the few friends and family she had. Not to mention her teammates. They’d been through fire (literally) and hell together; the bonds forged from that were too hard to break. But for all the excitement her life brought, all she wanted was peace. Something she almost always found whenever she finally returned home to visit with her family. Though she never married, she became a very proud aunt to the children of her brothers and sister. Unfortunately, she would not live to the same age as her siblings. She died by the age of 47, fighting alongside her comrades against the foes she’d sworn to defeat.
The General
The Basics
Name: Koll Sokolov
Era: Industrial
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Regression Purpose: Combat/Background plot
Combat: Melee
Skills
Specialty: Anti-Spirit Combat
Strengths: Vast amount of experience, Extremely intelligent
Weaknesses: Personal safety is second to the rest of the team’s, Horrendously stubborn
Items of note: Grimwald — A large, custom-made war-hammer specifically made for the Sál Veiði-maðrs that doubles as a protective shield capable of withstanding a great deal of force. These weapons were only issued to members of the order, and their special design has been kept a closely guarded secret by the Fokradiin military.
Personality
Likes: Coffee, Silence, Competent people, His children
Dislikes: Spirits, Over-confident greenhorns, Incompetence, Disloyalty
Overall: There used to be a phrase used to describe Koll: “That frozen old bastard.” Harsh, perhaps, but fitting. Koll was not the type to sugarcoat anything. He was not a man to beat around the bush or pull any punches. Koll was blunt. Koll was tough. Koll was there to make sure the younger generation of the Fokradiin military got whipped into shape so that it could better defend its people. He was a harsh and demanding teacher that constantly pushed those under him to be the very best they could be. If you couldn’t manage that, you might as well have left. Koll had no time for quitters or complainers who weren’t willing to give their all. As expected then, he didn’t have many in the “friend” department.
But as rough and brutal as Koll was, it came from a good place. The man had a heart that beat for his people, and a genuine concern for those he trained. He was hard on them so that, in the future, nothing could faze them. It wasn’t out of hatred, but a fatherly love he developed for those under his command. He was sending these kids out to fight. He'd rather rot before he’d send any out there unprepared. Besides, he wasn’t gruff all the time. Although the only ones to see his true soft side were his children. Despite his time-consuming duty, he was a doting and loving father who only tried his best to make sure his children could live a happy life.
Biography.
Koll was born within the town of Napolovinu back before it became the sprawling little town it is now. Life there was harsh without the environmental dome, but Koll and his fellow townspeople managed to survive. Koll only had one sibling to speak of: a twin brother by the name of Bolli. Together with his parents, they got along in life as well as they could. However, one day a large group of elite Fokradiin military forces got sent out to fight against an approaching angry Spirit. These were the Sál Veiði-maðrs; a group of warriors who had been formed after the Great War in order to fight Spirit threats whenever they appeared in Fokradiin. Though they had been formed as a branch of Kalidas followers, they did not share the same sentiments that the Ethean hunters would get about magi.
After seeing these men and women in action, Koll had a fairly good idea of what he wanted to do. Though it was difficult, he managed to travel to the capital of Hjall and begin training in order to join their ranks. It was hard, make no mistake, but the man had been hardened already by the harsh winters Fokradiin had to offer. In time, he became a fully fledged member of the Sál Veiði-maðrs and served his nation as best as he could. Though nobody could say it was without its own cost. Koll built most of his friendships with those in the order. But that only meant it was all the harder when he had to bury them. Despite all odds Koll managed to live on past many of his former teammates. The experience made him jaded and gruff; harsh on the newer members so that he wouldn’t have to attend their funerals next. Eventually he went from an active member to a trainer. Too old to fight, he still had enough fire and experience in him to whip new Sál Veiði-maðrs and even members of Fokradiin’s main military into shape. Split between the two, Koll was just as hard and demanding of one as he was the other. He would prepare them for the fight, or die trying.
Though that wasn’t to say there weren’t high-points in his life. Somewhere along the line he managed to marry his fellow teammate Asleif and have two wonderful daughters: Svala and Kari. There wasn’t much else he loved more than his family. Which was why the loss of Asleif affected him greatly. She was slain by one of the great Spirits they so furiously battled, and on that day Koll carried the body of the fallen warrior back in lonely silence. Even with such a tragedy, he vowed to raise their children as best as he possibly could. In the end Koll passed away peacefully from old age, finally joining his beloved and leaving behind two fine Sál Veiði-maðrs to take their places.
