       the Tundra.

       Description: This is the only part of the island that people
       live, it is filled with rivers and lakes that have a variety of
       fish. This part of the island is far enough away from the north
       pole that plants can grow, mostly pines and other evergreen
       trees.
       Name:  The Temple
       Location:  Is located in the center of the crescent
       Description:  This is considered the most sacred place on the
       island. Not only is it a temple dedicated to Luna (see Religion)
       it is also the warmest place on the island, tropical flowers and
       trees can grow there. Even with the warmth and plentiful food,
       nobody lives at this part of the island. The only people allowed
       to go are the keepers of the temple (not even they live at the
       temple), the healer, and if necessary for the healing process
       the person being healed. The temple is very large and made of a
       rare crystal known as a Moon Crystal
  HTML http://www.mineralminers.com/html/rkxp276s.jpg
       that only forms
       on the islands tundra. Nobody knows who built the temple or how
       but whoever they were, they had amazing architectural skills.
       Their biggest accomplishment must have been the main corridor;
       there in the center of the room is a fountain (see things) that
       aligns with the full moon perfectly which can be seen because of
       the skylight. On the ceiling there is mural of the moon both in

       water is said to have healing powers.

       coolcat101s's Character
       Character Name:  Selena
       Gender:  Female
       Age:  15
       Description:  Selena
  HTML http://s.bebo.com/app-image/7925341700/5411656627/PROFILE/i.quizzaz.com/img/q/u/08/04/19/splash_moon_radiate_joy.jpg<br
       />is short for her age, standing at 5&#8217;4&#8221; and weighin
       g
       in at 95lb. She has very pale skin and light blonde, almost
       white, hair that goes to her shoulders; she has light blue,
       almost gray eyes. She normally wears a white strapped dress that
       goes to her knees, and when she isn&#8217;t at the temple she
       wears a white fur shawl (passed down the generations from healer
       to healer since the beginning) along with a pair of matching
       white boots. The most important item that she wears is her Moon
       Crystal necklace.
       Characteristic: Selena is calm and determined, she's always
       ready to help someone in need. She is adventurous and, unless
       she&#8217;s working, she willing to make mistakes. She rarely
       gets mad and when she does its at herself.
       She has never really fought anyone in her life but often spars
       with her friend Cerys (she worries about Selena&#8217;s safety
       and wants her to be ready if she ever does have to fight). When
       she is sparing she uses intelligence and strategy to win, not
       force. She always fears for others, if in a real fight she would
       be the one to take a blow for her friends, the only person who
       has ever beat her is Cerys.
       History:  When Selena was a baby she was given a Moon crystal it
       was cut more perfectly then humanly possible, some even say it
       was Luna herself who gave it to her while her mother (the healer
       at the time) was trying to wake her up from the sleep she was
       in. When her mother returned, Selena was awake for the first
       time in her life but she was also different, her once brown eyes
       had become a light blue that was almost gray, her skin was pale,
       and her black hair had become so blonde it was almost white. She
       was changed and the tribe knew she was destined for great things
       when they saw the small crystal glow in her hands. Later
       Selena&#8217;s mother put the crystal on a silver chain so
       Selena could wear it as a necklace. Selena noticed that water
       seemed to react when she was extremely mad or sad, but she had a
       pretty normal childhood up until she was 10 years old, that was
       when her mother began training her to be the tribes leader and
       healer. She began to visit the temple regularly, that&#8217;s
       where she met and befriended a Water Element named Nixie who
       usually prefers in  the shape of a water dragon.
       Selena&#8217;s mother died when she was 12, Selena then had to
       take her mothers place as healer and leader. Since Selena
       hadn&#8217;t finished learning the ways of healing from her
       mother she had to teach herself. She had a little help from
       Nixie, who taught her the healing powers of the crystal. She has
       now learned all the normal healing methods (most involving herbs
       from the temple) and the crystal healing methods, all she has to
       learn is how to heal with water.
       Side:  She does not take sides, but she will protect her people
       and her allies.
       Weapon(s): none she is a healer, the closest thing she has to a
       weapon is Nixie, who would protect Selena at any cost
       Magic(s):  none yet but she will have water and earth
       Drgonstar's Character
       Character Name:  Kai "Longears" Shadowmoon
       Gender:  Male
       Age:  22
       Description:  Kai is an elf, with black hair that goes to the
       bottom of his neck.  He is normally seeing wearing a black hood
       and cape, with studded leather armor and pants, and black leater
       boots.  He is about 6'5 and has tannish skin and blue eyes.  His
       phsyical build is that of a regular 22 year old elf.  His ears
       got a bit past his head though, hence how he got the nickname
       long ears.
       Characteristic:  Kai is an elf of very many words, but he tends
       to stick to the shadows and not been seen.  He's always
       introduceing himself to a lot of people.  Mainly the criminals
       he kills.  He has two sides to him.  An elegant, more relaxed
       side, and a psychopathic killer side.  The psychopathic killer
       side only emerges when he begins to hunt criminals.  When he's
       in this insane mode he has been known to take trophies from his
       kills (I.e. an arm, leg, finger, etc.).  This has gotten him
       into trouble with a few others who see him as a menace.  Hence
       why Kai rarely shows his face.
       History:  Kai had a normal childhood growing up, normal parents,
       nothing too major happening to him.  He decided to become a
       ranger and began training.  After about 11 years he had become a
       very skilled marksman, but he was only 17 and he decided he
       needed to try something else.  That was when the idea popped
       into his head "Why don't I combine my archery skills with
       magic!" He told his trainer about,  his trainer promptly told
       him that he never wanted to see Kai again. Kai didn't care
       though, he soon began to study magic and he effectivly combined
       simple magic with his archery skills.  Another big hit to Kai
       came when he saw his friends mericlessly slaughtered by a bandit
       lord.  Kai's psychotic personality began to emerge.  He quickly
       set off after the bandit lord, ended his life, gutted the lord,
       cooked the lord's heart on a stove, and ate it.  When Kai came
       to his senses he saw what he had done and like it, he wanted to
       do more of this killing of criminals.  So he became a bounty
       hunter and now kills them for a living.
       Side:  Nuetral
       Weapon(s):   Kai uses a long bow, it was his the last thing his
       best friend gave him.  It is both a memento of his friends, and
       a thing to remind him of why he hunts criminals
       Magic(s):  Kai will use fire and wind magic
       DMVA's Character
       Character Name:  Alex Soraxus
       Gender:  Male
       Age:  37
       Description:
       [center]
  HTML http://wallpaper.metalship.org/images/manga-dark-warrior.jpg[/center]
       Alex Soraxus is a dark, menacing figure standing at almost 6
       feet 5 inches. He is a strong, male warrior with the agility and
       flexibility of a trained martial artist. With his dark grey eyes
       and albino hair, he looks almost like a fallen angel.
       Alex always wears a long, black cloak with shredded ends and a
       hood which can cover the upper half of his face. Under this
       cloak he wears a set of leather armour over his chest and
       abdomen, with a gap in between for flexibility. Also, he has two
       strong leather shoulder guards buckled in place by leather
       straps. At his shoulders, coming off his cloak are two long
       scarf-like fabric pieces attached with two metal clips around
       his neck. The left clip has a blue cross on it. On his lower
       half, he wears thick, white pants with black, drawn-on, tattoo
       like drawings. He also has several leather straps on his pants
       to make sure they fit him perfectly all the time. His shoes are
       two-piece leather shoes with metal plates in the sole and over
       the top of the foot, but they do not hinder the shoes
       flexibility due to the positioning of them. Over his hands he
       winds leather straps over cloth pieces to prevent them from
       blistering and to protect them.
       Alex also carries a sword which does not fit standard
       definitions. It has a two-hand hilt, but the length is of a
       one-half-hand sword. It is made of thrice-folded steel with a
       tin core for flexibility. The actual blade starts about 30cm up
       from the hilt, as the lower part is thick and strong for
       parrying heavy blows. Alex doesn't have a sheath for his sword,
       preferring instead to always have it in his hands and resting
       across his shoulders or in a special leather strap he made which
       is part of his leather armour on his lower back. The special
       strap allows him to hold the sword in one hand but have the
       majority of the weight on his strong back.
       Soraxos, a large black Greater Sooty Owl
  HTML http://www.owlpages.com/owls.php?genus=Tyto&species=tenebricosa,<br
       />is Alex Soraxus's familiar of sorts. Although not formally a
       familiar, Soraxos sticks with Alex as much as possible either
       flying above him and around him, or resting/sleeping on his
       shoulder. Soraxos is much like Alex personality wise; he is very
       quiet and would rather peck someone's eyes out than hoot at him.
       During the day he hides beneath a fold of cloth while perched on
       Alex's shoulder. Due to his strong grip, even if Alex is hanging
       upside down Soraxos will not fall off (he won't be happy about
       it either though).
       Characteristic:
       Alex is as dark and mysterious as his appearance. He rarely
       talks, and when he does he is quiet, direct and even scarier (if
       possible). He prefers the edge of his blade to the sharpness of
       words in arguments, or not to argue at all.
       Alex is almost like a ghost. He slips in and out in view, not
       stopping unless he must. Instead of walking through a crowd, he
       will quite 'gladly' run along the rooftops. His athleticism and
       agility means that no obstacle can stop him if he is determined.
       He once climbed a perfectly smooth wall over 10m high using just
       his fingers and feet (don't ask how, he wont tell, and you'd
       have to catch him first).
       Alex doesn't enjoy the daylight, proffering the cool shadows
       instead. However when night falls he likes to walk in the
       moonlight, unless he wishes to not be seen, in which case the
       shadows in which he walk are not safe...for anyone.
       Although he looks like an evil figure, Alex does not kill or
       hurt for pleasure. Instead, he only kills or hurts those who
       have hurt others and only then when he must. That said, he can
       put his little emotions aside and become a merciless murdering
       assassin. If he does that while you are near, do not attempt in
       any way to stop him, or you wont live any longer than it takes
       for you to say his name.
       Nothing would please him more than the chance to live amongst
       the people, but not be one of them. As it stands, he is an
       outcast, and an infamous mercenary. You always think twice
       before you ask to hire Alex Soraxus.
       History:
       Little is known about the history of Alex Soraxus. As he rarely
       speaks, no-one actually knows where he came from or how he
       lived. What is known however, is that if you want to know where
       he has been, you only ask around for the Black Ghost in the
       Moonlight.
       Whenever midnight comes, Alex can be seen at the highest point
       he can reach, bathing in the light of the moon.
       Although known by no-one but himself, Alex's house or den of
       sorts is the Caves of Moonlight.
       Side:  Neutral Mercenary. He works for money, but only the jobs
       he chooses.
       Weapon(s):  A long one-half-hand sword with a two-hand hilt.
       (description above)
       Magic(s):  None at this point, although most ordinary people
       would say he moves like the wind and air like a creature of
       magic.
       (On an additional note, if Alex were to have some sort of
       musical theme or such, it would be the short Wake by Linkin Park
  HTML http://www.christhefoo.com/blogfiles/01%20%20Linkin%20Park%20-%20Wake.mp3.<br

       Falcon's Character
       Character Name:  David Hatter
       Gender:  Male
       Age:  17
       Description:  Hatter
  HTML http://public5.tektek.org/img/av/1007/d21/2043/e9c9780.png
       is a
       man with dark brown hair and eyes. He's about 5'10" and never
       goes anywhere without his brown leather jacket and tan, crumpled
       little top hat. He wears dark brown pants and boots and dark
       brown fingerless gloves on his hands. He has a bit of 5 o'clock
       shadow and gray smudge-looking marks around his eyes from lack
       of sleep. He has a British accent.
       Characteristic:  David is suave and smooth. He's a conman, so he
       lies all the time and he's very sarcastic. He's also very
       comical a bit of a jokester, and a little perverted at times.
       Once in a while, he can turn crazy, mumbling nonsense under his
       breath and talking in riddles. He often gets violent when this
       happens, too. Despite his conman personality, he can be very
       sweet and when faced with the ordeal of having to confess how he
       feels to a girl, he becomes more like a boy than a man, becoming
       very shy and nervous and stumbling over his words. This has only
       happened once, however. David is also very secretive, never
       talking about his feelings or past--especially when it comes to
       what happened when he was eleven.
       History:  David was born before Wonderland was taken over. He
       was six when the Outsiders came and his parents formed the
       Resistance--unknown to him. Two years later, David's parents
       were discovered and captured and beheaded. David fled, living on
       the streets until he met Henri March, a boy his age who was also
       living on the streets. Together, the two of them did anything to
       survive--lie, cheat, steal, etc--for years. When they were
       eleven, Henri began to change and turn violent. While trying to
       steal food one day, he walked right up to the man selling what
       he wanted and killed him. Not long after, he was captured and
       taken away, leaving David alone to fend for himself. When David
       was fifteen, he was found by the leader of the Resistance-who he
       tried to pickpocket-and taken to the main HQ. David had to work
       for the Resistance as punishment for stealing. Once there, he
       met a girl who he quickly fell in love with. After joining the
       Resistance, officially, David was on a smuggling mission with
       this girl; due to an accident David caused, the girl was caught
       and killed. David fled back to the Resistance, where the leader
       beat him unmercifully. Since then, he has tried putting the
       incident behind him and became a conman. He "helps out" the
       Outsiders while he's really on the Resistance's side, giving
       them information.
       Side:  The Wonderland's Resistance
       Weapon(s):  David has a long sledgehammer which he keeps secured
       to his belt. His right hook is also extremely strong.
       Magic(s):  None at the moment, but will have Lightning
       (fire/wind)
       Hartzalcotl's Character
       Character Name: Sieghart Azurfa
       Gender: Male
       Age: 19
       Description: Sieghart is a blacksmith, able to craft almost
       everything that would turned out sturdy and elegant, a meister,
       at least in Ringring continent. He is also a thief, always can
       escape effortlessly, tricking everyone with disguises and get
       what he wants, at least in Ringring continent also. He is also a
       silver claimer, a title for a person who can manipulate silver
       at will. Only the blacksmith and her daughter knew about this
       since Sieghart showed his skill in silver claiming when he was
       seven to them.
       He has a silvery, untidy, a bit short hair and gray eyes, a very
       thin looking mustache hanging on his face. His posture is kind
       of lacking muscles, but great strength dwells within his body.
       He usually wears a white short-sleeved shirt, along with gray
       jacket but sometimes he tied his jacket around his waist when
       working, and a black, ragged jeans plus a pair of gray boots. He
       always bring 2 things with him all the time, his hammer which he
       use for his work, and his triskaidecagram; 13-sided star
       necklace which made of pure silver along with the chains around
       his neck. Sometimes he chew on a weed when he is back from
       lazying.
       When he was on a heist, he would wear a silver colored clothing.
       Pointy hat with a silver feather sticking out, a tuxedo and long
       cape, a pair of gloves and sneakers, and a mask that cover the
       eyes part, all in silver. He still bring his triskaidecagram
       necklace, but he hide it inside his cloth. All these silvery
       style gives him a title of Silver Phantasm. No one knows that
       Silver Phantasm is Sieghart, though.
       Characteristic: From whatever angle people see him, Sieghart is
       your average normal man. He is not kind nor evil, not strong nor
       weak either, just an average. BUT, he is a number one
       P-E-R-V-E-R-T since no one as perverted as him ever known by the
       people. Almost everyone in Ringring especially Rios region knows
       that Sieghart is a BIG pervert thanks to his fame as a
       blacksmith. Almost every girls in Forgron have been hit by him.
       History: Where he born was unknown. Sieghart was found by a
       blacksmith from Forgron Town near a tree in Silverpine Forest
       when he was a baby. Then he was taken up by the blacksmith and
       raised as her other child. He was taught many crafting skills by
       the blacksmith until he was about 16. He then start a crafting
       business by himself. His products are adored by many people,
       that people call him the number one blacksmith in Ringring
       continent in such a young age.
       One year later, he got a request for making a weapon, a sword,
       two-handed one. The requester requested that he made it
       resembling Sword of Fiar, a legendary sword that rumors it can
       channel magic greatly especially fire magic. He said that he
       can't make the sword as likely as Sword of Fiar except for the
       appearance but the requester still insisted it on him. He made
       the sword, in one week, and gave it to the requester, and of
       course it's ability of channeling magic is like a normal sword.
       Some days later in the evening, he went to the blacksmith's
       house, the one who raised him before with another intention
       beside seeing the blacksmith. Sieghart fell in love with the
       blacksmith's only daughter, since he was seven and that day, he
       went to propose her, like what he promised to her back when he
       still in the blacksmith's care. He was telling his intention of
       marriage proposal when suddenly, the one who requested a "fake"
       Sword of Fiar, barged into the house with a mob of men, bringing
       weapons. The requester said that the sword is a fake and
       intended to punish him. Sieghart said to the requester that he
       have said it many times that he only can made the appearance,
       not the ability. The requester got madder and struck him with
       the sword when suddenly the blacksmith shielded him. The
       daughter of the blacksmith overheard the commotion and went into
       the scene, seeing her mother laying on the floor with blood.
       Sieghart went to prevent the requester also strike the daughter
       but he was too late as the girl was stabbed on the back by his
       own made sword, not an instant death, but still fatal. Overcame
       with grief, he just sat there, laying his gaze upon the dead
       bodies while the requester demolished the house and set it on
       fire with magic. As the house crumbled down, Sieghart regained
       his sense and brought the blacksmith's and the daughter's body
       outside the burning house. The blacksmith had long gone but to
       his surprise, the daughter was still barely alive, but breathed
       her last breath after whispering something to him.
       [center]"I will always love you."[/center]
       As the daughter died, Sieghart cried and screamed. The next
       morning, he buried and made gravestones for them near Silverpine
       Forest. Tortured by his unrequited love, he became pervert,
       hitting on every girls he set sight on.
       As he almost reached 18, he heard about the "fake" Sword of Fiar
       whereabouts. The requester who requested it sold it highly to an
       empire at Rimlus region, stored in the empire's rumored and in
       fact, unbreakable safe, the Gauss Vault. Thinking about stealing
       the sword, he self-taught himself the art of tricks and
       disguises and went to the vault. He successfully sneaking into
       the chamber where the sword is being stored despite the heavy
       security. As he found the sword, he grabbed and smashed it to
       pieces with his fist and that, triggered the alarm. Flustered
       about his cover would blown off, he shrouded himself with his
       triskaidecagram necklace, transformed it into silver pointy hat
       with silver feather, silver tuxedo and cape, a pair of silver
       gloves and sneakers, and a silver mask, that covers his eyes
       part. The security barged into the chamber and pointing weapons
       at him, telling him to stand still. Sieghart, in his silver
       disguise, smiled as facing them, pulled out a Colt Custom from
       behind his back and shot the ceilings where he went to escape to
       another chamber, and that was what the security thought. The
       shot caused the ceilings to crumble and produced dust and ruckus
       as the security went to check the hole on the ceilings. While
       the security made a commotion, Sieghart sneaked as one of the
       security and went to the exit. The next day, the empire went
       uproar, as a news about their "unbreakable safe" were
       infiltrated by a single person wearing silvery clothing reaching
       their ears. Since the thief gone without a trace, people made
       rumors about the thief, giving him the title of Silver Phantasm,
       one who can steal anything he wants and escape with it, floating
       around the world. When the rumor reached Sieghart's ears, he
       laughed. Now he is lazily working as a blacksmith and spend his
       time lazying on the nearest meadow while sometimes at night,
       becoming the Silver Phantasm, stealing things he wants.
       Side: Himself. And the girls!
       Weapon(s): His triskaidecagram necklace. Mostly will be
       transformed into two Colt Custom that fire magic energy bullets
       which are harmless, but still can dealt pains and injuries.

       Nasira's Character
       Character Name: Cerys
       Gender: Female
       Age: 15
       Description: Cerys
  HTML http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r36/kaizokuchic/Anime%20Pics/tiger.jpg<br
       />is slightly below the average height for female Nekami, standi
       ng
       around 5'7". She has very pale skin, almost pure white, which
       contrasts with her seemingly black hair. However, her hair is
       not black all the way through. Underneath her black hair, her
       hair becomes gray, and gradually fades until it is ice-white.
       This might be considered odd, as she is only fifteen, but it is
       perfectly normal for her--her spirit animal is the Shirotora,
       the ice tiger. She tends to wear dark blue or black clothes with
       white accents, which she believes gives her the appearance of a
       tiger. She wears a bracelet made of small, clear crystals on her
       left wrist. The bracelet bears a single heart-shaped diamond,
       which looks as if it is ice, not a gem.
       Cerys currently has one familiar, who might even be called a
       'pet'. His name is Sora
  HTML http://mwahahamcr.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/griffin.jpg,
       and
       he is a brown griffin with a white chest and sky-blue eyes. He
       is of average height for a griffin, with his shoulder height
       being about 6'5" and his head at 7 feet. Sora is very protective
       of Cerys, and has continually suggested that she stay away from
       Korika. However, she has not been swayed by his reasoned
       arguments, and when he mentioned that her father died there, she
       simply said, "All the more reason to go..."
       Characteristic: Cerys is usually very calm and composed, though
       very friendly. She's almost always smiling, and likes to help
       others. She's very adventurous, and loves to explore Chisamae.
       Her lifelong dream is to get permission to go and explore
       Korika. She believes that she will be able to bring back a map
       of the whole island, and more information than has ever been
       found.
       When Cerys gets angry, she fights like a tiger. She is brave,
       and will never back down from a challenge. She will drive away
       anyone she believes is a threat to the tribe, and fears her
       friends and family getting hurt more than she fears self-injury
       or death. She has never lost a fight, not even a play-fight with
       her friends. Even at her young age, she is one of the first
       people to be called upon when the tribe is in danger.
       History: Cerys has lived on Chisamae her whole life. She was
       born to the chief and his wife. Her father died when she was
       seven, as he had gone to Korika with a few of his warriors.
       Cerys has not forgotten that, but still maintains a strong
       desire to go to Korika. She has always had a sense that
       something awaits her there. When she expressed this feeling to
       her mother, she refused to say anything on the matter. The next
       day, Cerys found the bracelet she wears on the ground in the
       jungle. It was cold as ice, but it seemed important, so Cerys
       put it on. When her mother saw it, she attempted to take it off,
       but the bracelet seemed reluctant to leave Cerys's wrist.
       Eventually, Cerys's mother gave up, and Cerys has not been able
       to take the bracelet off ever since.
       Side: Cerys doesn't take sides, though she will defend her tribe
       to the death. Outside of Chisamae, she is neutral in all wars
       and conflicts, though she sometimes helps one side or another
       for her own purposes.
       Weapon(s): When she needs weapons, Cerys wears two black
       fingerless gloves. Razor-sharp steel tiger claws extend from the
       gloves, which are usable as weapons if she just clenches her
       fists. Nobody knows where Cerys obtained these, not even Cerys
       herself.
       Magic(s): Will eventually have Air and Water magics.

       She hates doing things unfamilliar and always protects those she

       Oranor.  She was saved by Ibram when his army marched in, killed
       the hydralisks (Oranor fled, along with a large number of his
       forces), and found her as the only survivor.  She now fights
       like she is a trained professional.

       to as “The Keepers of Balance” they are both the punishers and
       the caregivers. They not only hurt (and in the worst cases kill)
       people who cause unbalance, they also heal and protect the
       insistent. Water Elements are made of water so they don’t eat
       anything and nothing eats them, their only real threat is being
       drunk by a person or animal.
       Location:  Most Water Elements stay in the temple, there is a
       Water Element named Nixie who is currently lives in the Tribal
       Lands.

       Name:  Sword of Fiar
       Description:  The Sword of Fiar is a legendary sword. It is made
       from an unworldly metal which fell from the heavens, and was
       tempered by a hermit blacksmith who also forged it into a

       it has a much greater ability to channel magic, especially the

       believed to be in the collection of an old library, unbeknownst
       to its staff.
