Welcome to Gaia! ::

Profiles:

Username: zepherion
Name: Mia
Age: 19
Race: Shadow fairie
Appearance: (I'll be getting a picture soon.)She has short lime green hair with green eyes. She has a green ribbon tied around her forehead, a green choker with a crescent moon on it, a green short-sleeved shirt with netting at the end of the sleeves, a necklace with a crescent moon charm and brown gloves. Below the waist she has a green sash and white shorts. She has a long green skirt parted to the right, white clothed shoes and green leggings.
Bio: Mia is a shadow faerie but she doesn't know it. Her father was human while her mother was a shadow faerie. Shadow faeries and elves don't need as much darkness as the other creatures so they are quite alright on the surface. Mia is a master thief and can get out of many situations due to the nimbleness of being a faerie. She steals from many of the rich and while she flees her crime scene she throws some of her loot out onto the street for anyone to get and takes the rest for herself.

Username: Luxx Aeternam
Name: Tyl Tia'anis
Age: 20
Race: Human
Appearance: Tyl
Bio: Tyl is the distant descendant of dark elves, though he is almost completely human. He is, however, aware of his ancient lineage, and does what he can to learn more about it. He is not hostile towards the creatures of the night as most humans are, but wishes to learn more about them.

Username: Tiawolf
Name: Raiden
Age: 20
Race: Vampire
Appearance: (I tried to search for a picture that might look similar to him, but there isn't one and I have no idea when I will be able to get one of my own up.) Short, messy brown hair with beautiful hazel eyes. His ears are pierced and he usually wears short hoops as well as several bracelets and a chain around his neck. He generally wears black pants, a tshirt and a jacket or he wears a plain long sleeved shirt. Kale has brown hair as well, but is a little longer than Raidens. His eyes are hazel as well. His style is a little more plain, but occasionaly very much like Raiden's. His usually outfit is jeans or black pants with a plain long sleeved shirt and a jacket.
Bio: Raiden was an orphen for a while. He had been living on the streets and had been found and taken care of. He had always been reckless, but was still very nice to the people he trusted which for a long time was nobody. Another orphen was brought in when Raiden was 11 named Kale. Kale was 15 and very inteligent. He behaved well in front of adults, but the only thing that kept him from being adopted was that he was a vampire. He hated what he was, but tried to take full advantage of it. He left the orphanage every night, sneaking around rooftops and would wander around the city. Raiden admired Kale and very soon they became good friends. As they aged their bonds became stronger and as soon as Kale was 18 he left the orphanage with Kale. They are now settled in a nice apartment and take full advantage of their abilities by stealing and have never been caught.

Username: JinzoKusaru
Name: Zeth
Age: 29 (though he appears in his teens.)
Race: Werewolf
Appearance: [X]
Bio: Zeth was part a small pack of werewolves that practice arcane magics. When Zeth was around 23, his pack was ambushed and slaughtered by hunters and, just as Zeth was about to lose concousness from loss of blood, a group of nomads happened to find Zeth badly wounded and, after months of recouperation, they restored him to full health. Zeth went his own way after thanking the nomads to head off to find a place he could live. In his journey, Zeth finally found a home in an inn in a small town where the owner allowed him to live there if Zeth helped him keep the inn in tip-top shape and if he doesn't eat the customers. In the past years, the residents of the village began to respect Zeth as he started becoming less hostile towards humans, though the complaints about thieving have begun to annoy him.

Username: princess lolifoxxx

Name: Mei-Xing (Beautiful Star)

Age: 16

Race: Human

Appearance:
Long, dark hair, usually in pigtails. Weeaboo, dresses in Japanese schoolgirl uniforms even though she's Chinese-American.

Bio: Raised by her grandparents in America, where her family had fled after Mao's government. Mei-Xing was and is a real girly-girl, despite her family's shame that she is in fact a female/male hermaphrodite. Due to the constant pressure put upon her to opt for surgery, Mei-Xing left home at 16 to 'find herself' without the need to change herself physically, as she feels it would be wrong to abandon what she sees as a gift.
Wandering cities across America, Mei-Xing has made money by temping as a waitress, and spends whatever money she can on clothes and make-up. Last month, however, she was signed up to the wrong job and ended up being sent across the country by a joint Mafia and Triad program to be trained to fight shadow creatures. Armed with a sniper rifle, the hapless Mei was told to fight alongside Toritoni Salandra, a combat specialist who died in their first week of duty. Now a lone operative, Mei is obligated to prevent shadow creatures infiltrating the crime syndicates and gaining power thusly. While secretly sponsered by the government, however, the programs ('Sun Fist') operatives cannot rely on support from the regular authorities, who are either unaware of the threat, or engaged in their own efforts to prevent shadow armies sweeping across the land.

Mia was hopping the roofs and ducking into alleys, trying to get away from the police. She had stolen from a medieval times exhibit and had already thrown a bit of her loot onto the streets. Mia, after many attempts, finally lost them and ran through a shortcut to her house. She carefully climbed onto her dad's car and jumped onto her bedroom balcony. She opened the doors and when she opened the light, she saw her mom standing in the doorway. Her mom sighed.

"Mia, why do you do things like this. Why do you steal?"

Mia sighed and took her mask off. "I only steal from those who've done it themselves. They steal, in one way or another, from the less fortunate. I'm just taking it back." Mia's mom still stayed at the doorway as Mia took her pajamas and went into her walk-in closet to change.

"So? That doesn't make it right. Everyone takes from others. If your father were a tax collector or something like that, does that mean you would steal from him? Would you steal from any of your family if they did that? I don't think so. So that wouldn't be fair to all of the other people you stole from."

"But I only steal a bit. If it's a museum or something, I only take about 5 to 10 items, tops. If it's about money, like a bank, then I only take 2 bags full. I don't take that much."

Her mother stood up straight and walked into the room after Mia came out of the closet. "But you keep some of the things you steal! You don't entirely give back what was stolen!" Mia jumped onto her bed.

"Because I'm on the run. I give back the rest the next night so I have more time." Mia's mother sighed.

"Mia, I think it's time that you know the truth."

Mia tensed up at that. What truth? Mia waited patiently for her Mother to start. "Mia, Have you ever wondered about some things that you couldn't explain. You heal better and a bit faster than other people. When you go out and steal stuff you can hop roofs that are almost 3 to 4 meters apart! Also, don't you feel stronger when you're out during the night, or when you're in a dark spot than when you're out in the sun?"

Mia tried to make some sense of what she was trying to tell her. "Well, I just thought that maybe those are some traits that I got from you and dad. And the jumping roofs thing, I thought that that's just something I'm good at, long jump. And as for the moon thing, I thought that maybe I'm just a night person."

Mia's mother sighed. "Well, that's not the case. Please, don't freak out when I tell you this and, please, believe me when I say.....that it's all because that you're a shadow faerie...like me. You come from the ancient race of night creatures." Mia's face didn't change much. She was quite surprised about the whole faerie thing but when she thought about it, it did kind of make sense. After all, she'd found a few books before claiming that there was an evil race of horrible creatures that rule the night.

Mei checked her watch. Midnight, great. She was useless at this job already, but when she had to work at night, it creeped her out. Giolitti had given her a target, though, and it was up to her to eliminate the creature before it rose up and hurt mankind. At least, that's what she was told. Who cared, so long as she got paid and the Triads didn't kill her off. Looking at the names and address one last time, she grinned and got on the bus.

Some time later, Mei-Xing got up and off the bus, flashing a smile at the mean looking old driver. He looks like a werewolf he's so Goddamn hairy himself, maybe I should end him, the sour old b*****d. Walking up the street, she shouldered her kit bag and walked up the path of the first target's house. The door was open. 'That's lucky,' she muttered, placing her kit bag at her feet and screwing the silencer on her handgun.

Hopping up the stairs quickly, Mei burst into the bedroom and before she even knew it, the target's body was spotted with red entry wounds. He lived alone, so that's all there was to worry about. Now for the mother and daughter, though, who lived across the street. Mia, she thought, it's almost like my own name.

She went downstairs to collect the rifle and set it up in the front window, where she'd wait until morning or, if they were thieving scabs like many of her targets, they came back from their nightly sojourns.

(Oh no! I'm a target! By the way, to anyone who has posted their profile in the thread, please remove it. I posted everyone's profile in the second post.)

Mia rolled over. "So? What does this lecture have to do with me stealing?"

Mia's mother sighed and sat down on the bed. "Well, I can't believe I'm saying this but, I don't care that you're stealing. I just don't want you to get hurt. Whenever I go into the dark city I hear rumors about an organization, or gang's more like it, that's been assassinating night creatures. They are very elite and many creatures have already been assassinated."

Mia rolled over to look at her mom. "Oh, so, what I've been doing...you think that this might make me a top lister? But, how would they know that I'm a shadow faerie?" Her mother stroked her head. "Regardless. Don't draw too much attention to yourself. These antics of yours may have already made you suspicious. So I want you to be very careful, in case they might already be onto us. So always be on your toes ok?"

"Okay." Mia rolled her eyes. "I promise, I'll stop my stealing until things have settled down." Her mother bent down and kissed Mia's forehead. "I guess that's all I can ask for. Goodnight." Mia closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

(By the way, I'm in the process of colouring my character so soon enough you'll have a picture of my character to go with this rp.)

Zeth leans back in his chair and sniffs the air agian.
Strange...I smell blood now...alot of it...and gunpowder, too....
Zeth gets up agian and peers out of the doors and into the streets.
I hope a guest doesn't come by while I'm gone...
Zeth sprints in the direction of the scent and comes to a house only a block away from the inn.
"So, this is the home...."
Zeth walks in the door way and sees the corpse of the man on the floor with several bullet holes in his clothes.
"Yep....murder....middle age, and...."
Zeth sniffs again and tenses.
"Oh snap...."
A hunter...here!?!
Zeth sniffs again and tries to calm down.
Calm down....this one isn't as dangerous as the one that slaughtered your pack....there's only one.....dang memories!
Zeth bangs the back of his head on the wall to get himself back to reality and, as he calms down, sniffs around, trying to find out where the hunter went, or where it is.

Zeth looks out the door and at the vampires.
"I thought I smelled something funny...."
Zeth walks back into the house and keeps sniffing the area.
"Dang....hunters are as tricky as ever...."
