Name: (Lieutenant) Omid Heriot
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Empire: Skyblade
Appearance: Omid stands at a towering 6'5
Backstory: Omid was naturally born as a Aarthdon citizen to a family of peasant laborers. Because of this, very little was expected from him magically, in the first place, however it became a became more and more strange to Omid why his parents did not bear the same marks as him, or why he wasn't allowed to leave the house and fields. With his parents continually telling him lies and rubbish, at age 16, he finally decided to take it upon himself to find out what was wrong. Though he wasn't capable of discovering very much with what knowledge was available to him laying around in their small home, he did manage to discover two life changing things. The first being a route to the Skyblade kingdom, and the second being the meaning behind the symbol on his forehead. The symbol on his forehead matched exactly to the arcane symbol for the spell "Zone Of Dispelling," though he had no idea how the rune was still in effect after so long, or why it was there in the first place. Upon further investigation and thought, he realized that if a permanent rune such as his was discovered by the nobility, they'd be very likely to scalp him and claim it for themselves.
Fearing both his own safety as well as the safety of his family, he tore the cloth from the sleeve of an old shirt and tied it like a bandana over his head to cover the mark. He then grabbed enough food to feed him for 4 days and headed out, guided only by the torn out page from his parents book of geography. Though he found himself lost a points, he did manage to find his way to the borders of the Skyblade Empire without any serious effects of starvation setting in quite yet. Here he had no means of feeding himself and was forced to immedietly register into the military just to get fed in time. Though he received no special treatment there, he quickly fell in love with the cities and towns of skyblade as a whole, having never before seen the inners of cities, or communicated with other people than his parents alone. Of course he did eventually mature and become quite skillfull with the blade, and where his excitement over Skyblade mellowed down, his hatred for Aarthdon only grew. Now, much older and wiser, Omid seeks the destruction of his old nation, as greedy, and honorless people.
Personality: In general conversation, Omid is quite practical and levelheaded. It is only in confrontation and warfare where Omid acts with rage and hatred.
Weapons: Omid wields a massive broadsword,
Strengths: Magic fizzles out and backfires if it is attempted within 30 feet of him, or if it enters that zone.

Name:
Garrett Von Everic
Age:
31
Gender:
Male
Race:
Human (Vampire)
Empire:
None, he is a vagabond
Appearance:
Backstory:
Garrett was born as a vampire in the Skyblade kingdom. He was not a normal vampire, but a higher vampire. He looked odd among humans but no one seemed to care. As a child, he was intelligent in nearly every way. As a teenager, he was often made fun of for his pale skin and skinny physique among the humans and the other races. On top of that, his single mother was killed for being a vampire. Thus his grades went down due to stress and depression. Garrett ended up being a drunkard as an adult. One day, he saw a woman walking. Two large men were approaching her with a knife in both their hands. They were either going to abduct her or rape her. Garrett knew that he had to help the woman whether he wanted to or not. First, he told them to back off. Of course, they didn't listen and turned to attack to him. Garrett saved the woman. It didn't take long for them to become friends, eventually lovers. Her name was Cindy, and for the first time in a long time, Garrett was happy. The next year, Garrett received a letter after selling a few dumplings at his bakery. It said that if he didn't kill three specific people, they'll kill Cindy. He had no choice, Cindy was his everything, so he thought he had no choice. After the death of two people, Skyblade's government had noticed the double homicides and hired a bounty hunter. Garrett had managed to avoid the well trained bounty hunter, but eventually, the bounty hunter tracked Garrett in a nearby forest. Garrett easily killed the bounty hunter because he was a vampire and bounty hunters mainly hunted human criminals. They had found out it was a monster after a close inspection, but they didn't know he was a vampire, ergo, he was named the Varmint of Skyblad. Beast Hunters were hired and Garrett was hunted like a wild animal. A few months later, Garrett killed the third woman and Cindy had revealed herself to be someone named Syanna. She was the sister of a noble, she ordered him to kill the three people and wasn't kidnapped in the first place. Garrett told Syanna that if she didn't come to a cave just west of Skyblade, he'll unleash all of his wrath upon Skyblade. Syanna didn't come as she was being protected by the authorities and vampire hunters. Garrett is now being hunted.
Personality:
Garrett is a cynical and jaded loner who spends the vast majority of his time by himself. He has practically no friends or allies and prefers it that way. He treats new people with anything from curt mistrust to outright hostility. Because of his distant attitude, most who do not know him find him sinister in appearance and demeanor. Garrett is not callous and is capable of feeling guilt for his actions. He has a razor sharp wit, often remarking on events with sarcasm. He doesn't seem to have any form of humor whatsoever.
Weapons:
None. He uses his vampire abilities to defend him (mainly claws, his main strategy is to teleport all around the enemy, causing them to go mad then kills the foe)
Strengths:
+ Magic
+ Being a fugitive
+ Intimidation
+ Keeping secrets
Weaknesses:
- Love
- Swordplay

Empire: Aarthdon
Appearance:
Backstory:
Ishtea was born into an elf family in Aarthdon, her heritage being clear with her green splotted skin and sharp ears. Her parents were in great terms with the royalty of her beloved empire, but that changed when Ishtea's powers were discovered. She was born with a dangerous and extremely rare power, which was not approved by the King of Aarthdon. Most elves have the power of telepathy, exhanging thoughts and feelings through their minds. But Ishtea developed the power of being able to read thoughts, making the royals of Aarthdon see her as a dangerous asset. Because of the respect they had for the Etilin family, the King offered for their youngest daughter to be taken under their care and shipped off far away so that she wouldn't be a threat anymore. But Ishtea's parents knew that it was not what would await their daughter. Instead they declined, making that their last course of action before their deaths. The Etilin family were butchered and made a symbol of what would happen if you were to ever pass the King's gratitude. Every single member was murdered that day. Expect Ishtea. The elf girl was barely five years old, confused about everything happening around her. So as the King looked into those innocent green eyes, ready to let the little girl join their parents, he realized she wouldn't be a threat to him but rather an asset. Ishtea grew up inside the palace walls, being treated as family by the royals. Expect when nobleman, criminals or other untrusted peole were to be set in front of the throne. When these things occured, she was to be placed hidden in the rooms and read the thoughts of these untrusted men and women. She would enter their mind, discover the truth, without them even noticing. And then she would tell her dear King everything, either dooming or saving them from death. The King trusted her. The whole royal family did. But little did they know that when they least expected it, she would enter their minds. And she knew everything that was going to happen. Making her, one quiet night, grab her cloak and escape.
Personality:
Ishtea can come off as spoiled, sarcastic, seductive, flirtatious and a little big-headed - as most of the people she has grown up with are.

But despite her intrusive actions, she finds most people boring and uintelligent
