Welcome to the Valice Academy of Martial Arts. Due to these times of war, we have dedicated our forces to creating an army. The administrator of this army is Zephyr Leoné. His resumé is as follows:
Name: Zephyr Leoné
Age: 17
Appearance:
Tanned male. Black denim jeans – loose. White shirt with burgundy over-shirt, unbuttoned. Black hair – short but messy Bandanna – black with silver outlines of dragons. Silver ring – right hand, ring finger. Has template of dragon. Silver necklace – simple design. Has figure of dragon.
Preferred Weapon: Staff
Preferred Field of Work: Personal Bodyguard.
Creature Affiliation: Dragon. Warriors aligned with this creature are noble, honourable and powerful. It is considered the highest ranked creature and thus it is rare to come across a warrior with such an alignment. Warriors of this alignment make true leaders and thus people tend to turn to them in times of trouble.
Background: Zephyr had never really thought clearly in battle. He always relied heavily on reflex and emotion, meaning he could be blinded in the heat of battle. Despite this, however, he had a strong determination and often felt strong bonds to people he didn't know.
Zephyr's mother had died when Zephyr was a very young age; Zephyr was witness to this. Zephyr's father refused to take him in. Zephyr was refused entry to an orphanage due to his father being alive. Zephyr was instead fostered into families, and kicked out when the host family either could not provide for him or did not want to look after him anymore. Due to this, Zephyr often changed families. This constant change meant Zephyr was thrown into many different learning environments, thus picking up lots of various skills. Zephyr had suffered a lot of injustice due to the hostility he often encountered when being forced to rely on other people. For this reason, Zephyr often tried to be independent whenever possible.
Despite this, however, Zephyr always defended those in need, often making great sacrifices to protect them. Zephyr had risked his life in order to save the lives of many children. He was, at the age of fifteen, too old to join the Valice Academy of Martial Arts, but due to his heroics and potential, he was soon accepted. Such an exceptional entry made Zephyr a lot of admirers, but a lot of jealousy followed him as well. For this reason Zephyr chose to solely hang around his friend Raziel Briar, who was also his duelling partner. He often came into confrontations, Zagan Eclipse, who shared the title of the strongest warrior in the Academy with him. These confrontations often left Zephyr on the ground in defeat, as he refused to fight back.

Name: Syno Kagashi Ryoken
Age: 19
Appearance:
Young Male with semi tanned skin. Deep Blue Yukata - Allows full mobility and small amount of protection. White undershirt and shorts - to help protect from the elements. Brown hair - Well kempt and straight back. White belt - Part of the Yukata and used to hold his Daishô Daishô - A Katana and Wakizashi, tied to the belt. Kon Kaihou - Family heirloom, sword which is always kept in it's baldric. Brown eyes - When looked into they give off the impression of knowledge beyond his years. Yin-Yang Ring - Right hand, Index Finger. A gift on the day he came of age.
Preferred weapon: Daishô
Preferred job: Hired Mercenary/ "Back-up"
Background: When Syno was very young he always wanted to be a great swordfighter and samurai like his father, Gaoto Subume Ryoken. Every day he would train his sword skills with his father in their backyard, his mother always there to tend to his wounds if he ever got any. By age 17 he had become an ace swordsman, able to not only best his father but even the local village swordmaster.
When Syno turned age 18 he recieved gifts from both of his parents. From his father he recieved the familys Azure Cala. A sword whose true power had been lost to the sands of time. And from his mother he recieved his most treasured possesion, a Yin-Yang Ring. She told him, when he was being handed the ring, that there will always be an evil in the world and there is always an evil inside of all of us and that no matter what happens he must alwasy remember this and he must, at all times, keep his evil at bay. The ring is a constant reminder of this simple fact, and this is why it never leaves his hand.
Syno then goes off to see if he can start a life of his own in a far off land. But very soon after he gets homesick and he decides to return home, only to find a ravaged land and buildings aflame. He quickly drops the items that he had brought back with him and he searched for survivors. The first person he found was the old Swordmaster of the village, only he was badly wounded and probably not going to survive. He knelt down next to the dying man and asked what happened. The old swordmaster told him that it was a gang of swordsmen and this being a peaceful village did not have enough men with combat training to fend off the attack. The old man told Syno that there might still be some of them in the village and that his parents are in danger because they went to the glade in the morning to have a picnic and they don't know of the attack. Syno stood up in horror of what might happen and is just about to run off but the old Swordmaster yells at him and tells him that if he is going to go off and save anyone he needs to be well equiped. The old swordmaster told Syno of the Daishô hidden in the dojo. The swordmaster warned Syno about the blades though, as the Wakizashi was crafted by Muramasa and the Katana by Masamune. When Syno left the dojo the old swordmaster, with his final breath, said "Don't let us down". Syno then raced off to go find his mother and his father knowing that they were in grave danger because he knew that his father had sustained an injury while he was away and could not fight. Syno turned a corner and downthe lane he sees a group of young men all wielding swords. He figures its the attackers races forward to meet them in battle. but before he reaches them he notices that they are huddled in a circle, around two bodies. The bodies were still moving but only barely. A sense of determination flooded through him. He HAD to do all he could to save those people. In the timespan of 1 second he had raced up to the attackers, drawn his Katana, and broken the arms of three of the attackers. This ofcourse gets the attention of the 17 other attackers and they all decide to rush at him. Syno sheaths his Katana and draws his Wakizashi, intent on making these men pay. In only a matter of seconds it was over. Syno weaved in and out of the attackers confusing them and at the same time imparting gashes with his Wakizashi on their abdomens. The three who he did not mortally wound ran off onyl to be cought by the local police which had been notified by the plume of smoke in the air.
Syno then remembers that he was fighting to save two people. He turns around and they are his parents. In shock Syno drops to his knees and crawls towards their semi-limp bodies. They had already lost a lot of blood and no matter what he or anyone else tried there was no way he could save them. He picked up their bodies and brought them to the cleanest placein the village and he layed them side by side. He knew they didn't have much longer to live. He was about to say good by when his mother spoke. She told him to always remember what they taught him and never to stray from the path he has been put on. Then his father spoke to him and said that he was very proud of what Syno had become. And that he knew the world would benefit from his prescence. And before Syno could give off a goodbye they had passed on.
From that day on Syno had vowed to improve his skills so that noone would ever have to die at the hands of a villian. So he decided to go over and join the Valice Academy of Matrial Arts even if it was only to study the students and learn from them. He found one student in particular very interesting, and studied him very closely.

Name: Destrell Manuel Atarsamain
Age:15
Appearance: Young, tall (1.76), white skinned male.
Blue denim jeans - semi-loose. Black t-shirt underneath a black short-sleeve shirt. Light brown hair - medium long, messy, covering left eye. Silver and black necklace - Simple design with small spikes. Silver ring - Left hand, ring finger, has the shape of a phoenix.
Preferred weapon: Katana Specifications of the blade: Daito or "long sword" (67 cm), considered koto as it was made in 1478 , worn through a sash, paired with a smaller blade. Both blades are blade-up. This style is called 'buke-zukuri', and all daito worn in this fashion are 'katana'.
Preferred job: Most kinds of solo assignments. Messenger.
Creature alignment: Phoenix
Background: As far as Destrell could remember, he'd always been alone in the world, living in an orphanage situated in the small city of Aereldar. Living with other kids like him, but always feeling lonely, feeling something was missing.
However, he never asked who were his parents nor where or when was he born, he wasn't curious about the past, he just worried about his future and his fate, the only thing he kept from his past was his katana, brought to the family by his great grandfather, this is all he was ever told about his family. Destrell never used his katana for he didn't know how to and was afraid to hurt someone if he wasn't careful.
He had a fair personality and a great respect for justice and those who tried to bring it to this world, he felt those people did the most important thing in the world, and felt that he should do it too, however his main problem, was that he felt that he would ruin everything he ever tried, this lack of self-confidence made him shy and unseen to the eyes of most people. But still, he had the feeling that he could, in someway, help the world, but he had to do this alone, so if he ruined it, nobody but himself would get hurt.
When he got a little older, he knew it was time to fulfill his destiny, but he had to train hard or he'd fail. He left the orphanage, even when it was forbidden (he was too young to go away) and tried to join the Valice Academy of Martial Arts at 10, and although he was a little older than most new students and he had little-to-no figthting experience, he was accepted because of his fair personality and his never ending desire to learn.
At fifteen he had gathered enough experience to call himself an accomplished swordsman and was one of the best students, mostly for his intelligence than his physical strength, although he always had trouble working in a team.
When Zephyr Leoné (an older student, who he admired for both his high ranking in the academy and heroic exploits in the past) joined the army, he decided to join the army of the Academy too in order to accomplish what he felt was his mission in this world.
Character development for Destrell: During his time at the academy, his parents are still alive, and he has 2 siblings. When Dest was af baby a fortune teller told his parents that terrible things would happen to their family if they kept the kid, not having the courage to kill a newborn, they left him in the orphanage in Aereldar and moved to another city. During the war, Dest finds out about this and looks for his family only to find out that they now are faithful servants to the Empyreans. (The above paragraph is just to avoid the whole "Orphan with no family finds it and is lovely reunited with them" cliché, though I know this isn't much better, and I still don't know if the Empys would even have humans as servants.)

Name: Fidel Nints
Age: 14
Appearance: Tanned Male Blue denim jeans Dark blue shirt, buttoned except for first one with white undershirt Very Dark brown hair- not too short, messy, all over the place Sweat band- Black, wyvern branded with dual blades in its hands Orb- blue flame inside Preferred Weapon: Dual Blades (while on horse)
Preferred Job: Messanger/'avalry
Background: Fidel Nints is a well trained rider on the field of battle, who can withstand great numbers due to his great bond with his horse Battlecry. His weakness lies in on foot combat. As a mercenary he has experienced many different battles and can keep his cool in circumstances where overwhelming numbers are present. He has had a few close calls with on foot combat, but in all cases Battlecry has saved him.
Fidel was adopted by a Spanish family at birth due to the disappearance of his father and death of his mother; he grew with his Spanish foster family until 10 years of age. During those years his stepfather trained him as a skilful rider and jouster. He grew very skilful. He also discovered his father’s prized treasure, an orb with a blue flame inside. According to his father it was priceless.
All was going great until that fateful tenth birthday; the ranch his family lived on was attacked by a battalion of Spaniards. His mother was killed….a second time. His father was captured…..a second time. The animals were all killed. The battalion of Spaniards wreaked havoc as they searched the ranch for something. Fidel suspected it was his father’s prized treasure- the blue orb. So running to his father’s room he grabbed the orb and hid it in one of the carriages the Spaniards bought for prisoners. The Spaniards captured him and- to Fidel’s luck- put him in the carriage with the orb. He intended to give the orb to his father as soon as he could find him, but the battalion parted ways along the road, carrying his father a separate way.
Fidel had to endure a year of back braking labor at the Spaniard prison. In that time he got close to a horse named Battlecry, who was untamable. The only person he would respond to was Fidel. So in his little free time he had he would ride the horse. A year after his capture, Fidel saw his chance to escape and took it, with a burst of speed; Battlecry led Fidel and herself to freedom.
From that moment on Fidel has made it his objective to find his fathers. So far, along the way he has gotten his image and been doing mercenary jobs for the righteous…as long as he gets paid. After a quick explanation to a Valice Academy representative of his objective he joined the Valice Academy of Martial Arts as cavalry and a messenger due to the low numbers of these ranks.
| Fidel Nints has lost two families. And the only way he isn't going to lose his current family is by fighting for it.

Preferred weapon (non-militants leave blank):Main-titanium halberd with spike at bottom Backup- 2 gold swords with titanium cores (duelys!!) (Gift from his mother) he also carries 2 knives one in his left and right boots
Preferred job: peace keeper
Background: At the age of 6 Artemis's father went off to war for several long months. One day Artemis's mother got a letter in the mail it was from the military division it said his father had died from a stray arrow while trying to save a wounded soldier.
It was from that day that Artemis promised his mother that she would never have to go through losing one she loved to such a mindless cause. Artemis trained and trained everyday till he could barley walk.
One day his grandpa. From his fathers side came to visit. He brought something wrapped in cloth it was long and had a bulge at one end. At the time Artemis was 10. That night his grandpa came into his room with the thing he saw earlier he then opened it up and pulled out a long silver halberd with gold engraving along the shaft the end had a head of a spear and below that was a head of a axe it was quite big, bigger than any axe he had seen. His grandpa said "it belonged to his great grandpa Krauser who helped guard the empress of china and that it can only be wielded by a man pure of heart. I never have been able to wield it myself but you, you can wield it my lad you are pure of heart I can see it in your eyes" so Artemis took the halberd it felt cool on his hands his grandpa hugged him and left a week later he got a letter saying his grandpa had passed away.
From then on he trained whenever he had time hammering his skills with the halberd till they were flawless eventually at the age of 18 he saved up enough to buy duel swords not any specific kind just 2 blades with curves in them he strapped them to his sides he practiced with them till he was fairly decent. He then decided to train himself mentally and physically not that he wasn’t physically trained already but he did vigorous mind bending and backbreaking exercises that left him tired and with a major headache. He trained himself in the arts of Speed, Agility, and Strength he then used these to further train himself.artemis's only weakness is he loses himself in the heat of battle (he’s never been in one but just saying).
One day he walked inside and found his mother crying he asked her what was wrong and in a sob she said " look at you, you are growing up to be such a fine young man it wont be long till you leave to go on life’s journey to do what you choose to ". So Artemis calms her down and tells her that he will always be there for her no matter how far he is away he will always come to her in need. Artemis goes to bed not knowing that tomorrow holds great things for him. The next Morning Artemis gets up gets dressed and eats breakfast his mom acts like nothing happened. He grabs his halberd and duel swords and straps them on and sets out to his training field. When Artemis Arrives the sun has just risen all the way and the dew is fresh on the tips of the grass he breathes in and says boy what a great day for some training but little does artemis know there’s some spectators just across the field on the road the runs along the edge of it.
Just as Artemis was finishing up his warm up exercise (which are very intense) a man walking across the field says you there Artemis turns around in a striking stance thinking whoever is calling to him is a potential threat. The man says lower your weapons we are no threat. Artemis says we? Then all of a sudden a sleek looking man materializes out of no were the man says don’t mind him he’s only my bodyguard. Artemis's says who are you of such importance that you require a bodyguard. The man replies I am a representative of the Valice Academy of Martial Arts. Artemis then says what would you want of me. Just a mere civilian. The man replies from the looks of how you handle those weapons your no mere civilian. Artemis then says I have been training with these weapons for many years. The man replies well then maybe you would like to join the Valice Academy. Artemis looks at him and says I would love to go to the academy. the representative says good then we will come with you so you can pack your stuff and then well be on are way. Artemis leads them to his house, he walks in the front door his mom is sitting reading a book sipping some tea she looks up and says Arty who are your guests Artemis says there from the academy mom they want me to go with them! his mom looks at him and says so it begins. Well you better get your stuff packed then dear. So Artemis quickly packs his stuff his armor and heads out of his room the representative looks at him and says "ready to go" Artemis says yes I am . his mother gets up go’s to a cupboard unlocks it and takes out 2 swords both the same. the sheaths have gold plating with silver engraving up the sides of them she brings them over to Artemis and says these were fathers when he adventured she told me to give these to you when you left. Artemis looks at them and then at his mom and gives a big hug and kisses her on the cheek and says I love you mom he then takes the swords straps them on gives his mom the old ones in case she might need them. Artemis then says well lets go they walk out he door and behind him his mother whispers "I love you to son good luck" as they walk down the road Artemis asks him what will happen when we get there the man looks at him and smiles and says "you will see my lad, you will see"....... so the journey begins.

Name: Lazaro Remy Artzeiz
Age: 19
Weapon:
Brandistock - a sword from which blades tear out of the handle when unsheathed. The blade is known for destroying the hands of those who grip it improperly.
Creature Alignment:
Griffin - Warriors aligned with the griffin are noble, intelligent and flexible. These warriors are well tempered and dislike violence, this makes them well suited to roles of nurture and teaching.

Background:
Lazaro is Teacher of Defence Arts at the Academy. At 19, he's the youngest to gain the rank of teacher in the history of the Academy and is still learning some of the nuances that teaching there entails. Being the Defence Arts teacher, Lazaro doesn't fight when it's avoidable and when left with no other option will disarm his opponents to discourage them from continuing a fight.
During his time as a student, Lazaro was top of the class in "Def. Arts", as it is shortened to, and was an excellent pupil. The calling to become a teacher came to him in the year of his graduation. His girlfriend at the time (and currently still so), Narelle, was victim to a group of bandits on her way from home. After consoling her, it became clear that to him that all everyone should be able to defend themselves from attackers. Narelle and Lazaro now live together. She works in the Infirmary at Valice and they see each other daily.

Name: Olivia Xenia Alexia
Age: 17
Creature Alignment:
Unicorn – gentle and caring, yet strong in battle. Olivia has a strong sense of morals and as a result tries to do what is best for everyone, whilst fighting for justice.
Appearance:
White female. Short, blonde hair. Long black pants. White shirt. Silver bracelet with unicorn engraving.
Background:
Olivia was born and raised on a small farm. Her mother was abused regularly, and Olivia often spent her time with the animals to hide from the conflicts that went on around her. It was not uncommon that her own father would throw punches at her, despite her young age, but her wounds often healed rather quickly and without scarring. One night, her father became particularly bad, and Olivia ran away to escape the fighting. It was there that she discovered a wounded horse, out in the middle of the night. Olivia felt a strange connection to the horse, and a deep sense of confidence whenever she was around it. Feeling the horse was the answer to Olivia’s desperate plea for help, she named the horse ‘Heaven’s Fury,’ named so as it was a blessing that helped her manage her father’s anger. Whenever Olivia needed guidance, or support, she always found peace with Heaven’s Fury. One day, however, as she was finishing up with her chores, her horse fell fatally ill. Not concerned for her own health, Olivia stayed by the creature’s side for the entire night, and wasn’t discovered until the next morning. The only thing that had kept her alive was Heaven’s Fury, snuggled up to her to protect her from the falling snow. It is uncertain what took place that night, however the Academy Oracles foresaw a girl who would sacrifice her life energy for her closest companion. Olivia’s father caught wind of this, and presented her before the Valice Academy, where she was accepted and her father employed. Here she learned and refined her healing arts, before her father betrayed and attacked the Academy. Olivia was dragged away from the only place she could call home, and her father blackmailed his way into becoming the Headmaster of the Denada Academy of Mensa. It was there that she became a teacher, against her father’s will, and began taking children under her wing so that they could have the support she never did.

Name: Oleisia Kyrano Taiome
Age: 20
Appearance:
Adult female with fair skin Long red-brown hair, barely reaching past her shoulders. Blue-Green eyes, which give off the impression of a near infinite capacity for compassion and sorrow Light Red, muslin shirt with the sleeves slightly rolled up Deep Brown, thigh length shorts Dark Tan, Leather bodice
Preferred weapon: Intuition/Hand-to-Hand
Preferred job: Civilian
Background: Born into a modest family Oleisia lived with her parents for only three years. At which time her father was imprisoned for life for the murder of his wife. Since then, the reputation of her father followed her to every orphanage she was sent to. Adopting families not wanting her because of her familial history, and the orphanages not interested in her because they knew with that background no one ever would. At the age of 5, she was put to work by the local barkeep in exchange for food and lodgings. And while she was being taken care of, she received no love or appreciation from anyone. Parent's wouldn't allow the other children to play with her because of her father, and the adults didn't want anything to do with her because she was only a child. Years passed in this manner. Oleisia grew up never knowing what friendship and love truly were. Every time she attempted to play with the other girls, they would make fun of her because "even her parent's think she's ugly", misconstruing her history and causing her even more pain. Every boy she showed interest in toyed with her heart, using her only for their benefit never intending to return the love she gave them. It wasn't much of a life, but it was life, and Oleisia lived it as best she could.
It was only after she met a truly trusting and kind man did her life change dramatically. He gave her the strength needed in order to move on. He gave her the support she needed so desperately. He gave her the love she wanted so badly. But fate struck the life turning blow. During the time she had left to search for her father's prison and find out why he did killed her mother, "that man"s life was taken. She returned, having not found her father, to a destroyed home and dead lover. But she did not break. She remembered that man, and the strength he gave her to survive her past. And she vowed that from that point on she would make sure that she was strong enough for whatever else the future brought her.
