Tai  Age: 110 Height: ~10 ft when standing Weight: Approx. 750 lbs Fighting Style: Aggressive and brutal Equipment: Teeth, claws, limbs, and big a** clubs. Biography: Tae'dae are a species of sentient, nomadic bears. Ranging in variety all over the world, Tae'dae can be found in almost every major climate region, except the desert. Tai is one such specimen, having been born in a small tribe in the frigid north. As is customary, once a Tae'dae is strong enough to hunt and survive on their own, they part from their family clan and seek to grow stronger. Living for an average of two centuries, Tae'dae spend much of this time discovering their limits, and pushing past them. It is for this reason that Tai has entered the GTB.

TyKat12 Arian Meridessa Lily Lennox Age 21 Height 5'2" Weight 124 lbs Eye Color Caribbean Blue Hair Color Black Race Courtelli Native, human Occupation None officially Birthplace Courtelli Isle Other Titles Aliases: The Blue Eyed Bandit, Sabrina Gold, Ghost Thief, Lady in Black, The Cloaked Outlaw, The Masked Wanderer, Mary Reid II, Fial Eirren Appearance Description Standing in at only five feet and two inches, Arian is not a large woman. Glossy dark hair and dusky, darker toned skin mark her as foreign, a native to some place-but her vibrantly colored, beautiful blue eyes, the very color of the tropical oceans of her homeland, contrast sharply with her features, the orbs expressive, hiding little, if anything, unlike her beautiful, determined face and body language. She looks, at times-innocent, incapable of the very crimes she is said to have committed-and of the deeds she’s been PROVEN to have committed. Young, skin without blemish-except for the scars that all warriors eventually obtain, Arian is a very beautiful woman, with soft hair and skin, curvier build yet an athletic, toned one, she is rather feminine for a warrior.
Right shoulder blade was branded cruelly some years ago-a double V, a mark of execution in her homeland-and a hollow, darkly inked tattooed circle surrounding it in broken up curves of water drops, inked as black as her soul is sometimes said to be. A more recent scar, paler than her skin tone, marks the underside edge of her right jaw-evidence of a surgeon’s precise incision.
While Arian is very beautiful, it is not looks alone, but the internal fire and near wildness that makes her attractive. She is by no means a tamed lady-instinct and intelligence in her actions, along with fire-she is by no means an ‘ice queen’. _________________________________ Fighting Style Arian is, for lack of a better term, a brawler. Clever inventions and self designed armor all lend to her capabilities, as the human has no powers. She is smaller, and so relies on her ‘toys’ and speed to make up for what she lacks in overall strength. She is by no means WEAK, but let’s face it-she’s small. Pit her strength against a man’s, and she’s out of luck. Arian is flexible and more than capable of flips, spins, and awkward positioning-and along with that, she can also be brutally harsh in her attacks, when pushed. Knives and fists is a personal motto for the woman, and while she will utilize the Flute Staff as much as possible-the outlawed Warrior will no doubt revert back to her more favored weapons. (Gloves and Spike Daggers) ________________________________ Likes: Classical Music , Sound of Rainfall, Long Showers , the smell of Irish Spring soap, the bangle Cheru gave her for Christmas, Swimming, Bar Brawls , those little umbrellas they put in drinks, seriously injuring men who decide to hit on her, having her curiosity sated about things, Learning. Anything. Good clean fights, Fighting dirty against people who deserve it, Animals in General, Kids, watermelon, cake, books, Language Dislikes Her Brand, Being Cold, Men who look, act, even sound like her father , Drunks, anyone or anything that considers her a snack, Bounty Hunters in general , Mercs in general, arrogance, Child Killers , Questions about her Past, things that remind her of her past, her past in general, Smug ‘College Boys’, Sleeping, being Burned, the smell of beer, any idiot dumb enough to belittle her, Liars, Religious Fanatics, Cynical Atheists, anything that ******** with her head, Vampires, Guns, any suggestion she is weak or cowardly, Killing People , her accent, being reminded who’s daughter she is, getting caught helping people, Being Hit on, Hospitals , being looked down on by anyone, sitting still, being pinned, fighting blind, small, dark spaces. Personal Treasure Small gold cross hanging from a thin gold chain around her neck.  "I don't do what I do because I want recognition-"
(Rip off of her Dark Tournament public profile.)
"I do what I do because they've been wronged, and I want to make it right."

Weapons, Items, Armor and Keepsakes
Kane-Sada Iaito: An ancient blade of japanese legends. The Kanesada's length is equal to that of a young, growing boy, sixty-two inches in length from nakagojiri (handle) to kissaki (tip). It's curve and sharp edge is unmatched by most creations of its time, with only the dreaded Murasame to contend with its swift build. Though this blade was constructed for the primary use of swift, single strikes used in Iaito stances, it can be variable to a side-held kendo stance for easier (though more dangerous) manuevers.
*Magic Applicable Weapon
Wakizashi Kane-sada: The short steel dagger, matching the characteristics of its larger, longer sister blade. It is customary to carry
one with you, as a last resort weapon (Meaning harikiri, or a lost blade).
Yumi Kyudo: The japanese longbow, used in the art of Kyudo. It's asymetrical build was created for the ease of a riding bowman, though it is just as effective in the use of a ground unit as well. Created with a strips of bamboo, leather and given a custom-woven Hemp bowstring, this bow can back a punch in some of the strongest of protective units.
*Magic Applicable Weapon
Duality Ring: This ring was forged in the flames of heaven and hell, and jeweled with the pearls of light and darkness. Either pearl holds within it a great power, either of powerful darkness, or divine light. This ring is a medium in which Kuroha can control his power output, and serves as a monitor of it as well. The brighter one pearl glows, the more powerful that power set is, and the weaker its counterpart becomes. Overuse of one can cause mostly unseen side-effects. Those that Kuroha have discovered are listed below; (Note: Only levels one and two on the rings are limited to the samurai at this point in his story.)Day(s) 649, 672, and 705 Netherrealm, Kuroha Zemashitama -Extended use of either power set seems to drain the strength of the body a great deal. My strength dwindles as I reach what I assume is the limit of the rings potential in the netherealm, being able to destroy 100 wandering, broken souls with the use of a white ethereal gauntlet that forms over my hands and forearms. The same applies for the dark power, though instead a black aura emits from said areas of the body. -As one power takes over, another seems to dwindle within. Dark power consumes my senses, corrupts my judgement and clouds my mind with images of power and strength while my naturally holy side falls to a dark fate. In another observation, however, when I tap into the source of light once again, my senses are restored and then further enhanced in ways I find hard to explain. I would say that it best resembles that of my old "Spirit World Vision", sharp as the edge of my blade one could say. -I have conducted two tests today, each reaching the full potential of the either of the rings elements. With the help of a spiritual gatekeeper, I was put under close watch, to make sure that the power did not consume my body or soul. The tests went on for excrutiatingly long hours. I have discovered that this ring does affect the soul directly, and actually taps into its power ever so slightly, in order to release its inner power. I conducted test number one with the light orb, which emitted a white light, bright enough to burn holes through shadowfolk, and even cleanse my soul of whatever darkness it contained, for a time at least. The gatekeeper said that my eyes shone a bright blue, and that my body had been engulfed in a white light, as if I were becoming a god of some sorts. My mind was affected not at all whatsoever, due to the lights cleansing power. After resting, I went on with test number two, and began to use the dark orb to its fullest potential. The effects were similar to the light orb, though instead it seemed that my body was engulfed in a smoky black haze, and that my eyes eminated a dark purple aura from them. My mind was again, unaffected, though my body I cannot say the same. The darkness depleted my strength at a moderate rate, but gave me immense power, both constructive and destructive. It was an incredible show of force, something I hope I will never have to use out in the open. These recordings will hopefully lead to more research of this fond little power I have found, whether I am around to see it or not.
Buddhist Spirit Beads: These beads help Kuroha channel his spiritual pressure, with special praers learned from monks in the netherealm during his first trip. They hold in them blessings and prayers that allow Kuroha to channel his energy, without wasting his very much of his own stamina in doing so and allowing a constant flow of pressure in the fields of battle, as well as peace.
_____________________________________
Very Brief Biography
Kuroha was born and raised in Amahara, Japan, and was trained by several senseis around the area of the town. When he left, he became more of a rogue ronin than a samurai, as his father once believed him to be, and he started out in the business of shadows and darkness. Eventually, his travels brought him to a place called "Konohagakure", or The Village hidden in the Leaves. His experiences in this village allowed him to learn some very interesting attacks and techniques that unknowingly aided him for future training. While established in Konoha, Kuroha also took up a permanent residence within a place called "The Juliano Manse", a large mansion where thousands of warriors congregated to simply fight, train and better themselves in all ways thought possible.
Kuroha adopted Bushido, and virtually abandoned most of the way of the ninja after doing so, becoming the samurai he was destined to be. For years, Kuroha trained and trained, bettered himself and rose in the ranks of the Manse until he was promoted by the leader himself, Riddle Juliano. Kuroha wanted more though, and The samurai began strict training regiments under the supervision of Juliano and his crazed family. It was then that Kuroha had been recruited as a leader of a large militant organization just outside of the Manse, giving him the title of the official Border Guard of the Juliano Manse, which was also assigned as his final training sequence. After The Great War, The Manse slowly began to turn into a cesspool where only the weak and powerless resided. Juliano had been waining to close it, but wanted Kuroha to continue on. So, the two fought valiantly behind the Manse itself, where Riddle sent Kuroha off to the netherrealm after taking the samurais heart, allowing his soul to be free, which was shortly after the ending of Heaven or Hell '08. He was 63 years old at the time of his human death.
The Netherrealm taught Kuroha a plethora of new things, including the introduction of Spiritual pressure and Charge effects. He adopted these, and continued on for more than 650 Spirit years training his wits, senses and physical capabilities in all fields that he made available to him. He became a sensei of Iaito, trained to a mastery in kendo and the se of Yumi Kyudo, and kept an intermediary in Bokuto. He resides as Border Guard of the Realms now, taking in willing students and destroying those who threaten both of his homes. GTB had caught his eye a year before, though he was busy with personal ties and trainings. He even missed out on Heaven or Hell 2009 because of the events transpiring in his life at the current time. But now, he has freed himself up for this upcoming tournament, and plans to make a smashing comeback with the rearrival of the old legend himself. He hopes to make his mark once again...

Username: Nightsnow
Character Name: Snow
Age: 23
Occupation: Yojimbo Escort - in charge of transporting people, objects from one place to the next like a messenger.
Birthday: n/a
Physical Details
Height: 6ft 1in
Weight: 180lbs
Blood Type: AB
Race: Incubus/Human Hybrid
:Appearance:
Skills
Equipment:
Main weapon: Two twin Katanas, one katana slung on each side of his hips for easy unsheathing with both hands.
Support weapon: Halberd, slung on his back and rarely used, unless confronting a foe that required him to use it, or some other reason that requires him to use it.
Equipments:
Two defensive bracers worn on both sides of his arms. Also - two medium-sized steel drinking flasks, each filled with pure, cold water which is holstered inside the interior of his cloak pocket - one flask occupying one pocket.
The cloak itself is a special cloth given as a gift from James Eredas, made with fire-resistant materials and decorated in black, with gold trim. The cloak provides limited protection against flame-based attacks, but is a valuable asset to have nonetheless.
Notice: All of the swordsman's weapons and both bracers have been mixed with a specialized material that reacts to the swordsman's personal magic. This gives the swordsman the ability to augment and enhance his weapons and equipment through the use of his magic, or use the weapon as conduits to manipulate his magic with more ease.
Combat Abilities:
The swordsman is a spellsword specialist, able to enhance almost anything - his weapons - augmenting himself or others - with magic to deliver a mixed style that can go either weapon combat or magic combat, or even both. His style consists of combining several martial arts such as Tai-Chi, Judo, along with some weapon style like Kendo, Iaido, and limited florentine style (when he dual wields) together to create a unique way of fighting.
Magic Abilities:
The swordsman has a natural ability of manipulating water and ice at will. Using his ability in conjunction to a special material that was added into his weapons and gears...
Non Combat Skills: Natural Manipulation of Water and Ice, Cooking, Basic medical skills through use of manipulation of water and ice
History: Preferring to forget a past that is riddled with things he'd rather foget about, the swordsman's primary proffession is through escorting personnel and goods from one point to the next. Often such people or goods he escorts are through dangerous areas, in which his skills are needed to ensure the safe delivery of said things. Having traveled to all areas of Gaia and picking up skills whenever he can because of his proffession, the swordsman often goes to tournaments and areas full of unrest and trife to get some extra money through fights or contracts in order to support his wandering travels...and his conditions in living.
Perhaps this is a reason why often the swordsman is rather poor in keeping his weapons and equipments maintained...much less having a decent food or place to stay during his travels.
