Welcome to Gaia! ::

Username: heroes never die
Name: Owen Calder
Sex: Male
Sexuality: Straight. (As far as he knows, anyway...)
Age: 19

Race: Owen is one quarter Indian, and about two quarters British Isles, and maybe a little French, German and Norwegian for good measure.
What kind of Master do I want: Um... probably a sadistic one. : x (Owen is going to be difficult to break.)

Short Bio: Owen is the oldest of three children, and the only boy in the family. His family is very close, and though his widowed Grandma (on his mother's side) lives in India, she often visits the family, and was always Owen's favorite relative.
Owen's father's family runs a small but moderately successful legal firm that Owen, as the only son, was always expected to take over when he came of age. Owen never had the head for things like that, however, and his younger sister Teresa, who did, felt it advantageous to point that fact out whenever she could. This was the cause of a massive amount of secret teenage angst on Owen's part, and though he only ever wanted to make his father proud, he knew Teresa was a better candidate and that she wanted the position more. Owen's father was something of a traditionalist, however, and he felt it would be improper to have his daughter take his place when he had a perfectly good son to do the job. Well, able bodied, at least...
Owen knew that his inability to manage the delicate daily tasks involving important legal things frustrated his stubborn father, and though it broke his heart, he felt that leaving his family would be the only way to secure Teresa's position in the firm. So when Owen realized that his father was planning on spending extraordinary amounts of money to send Owen off to legal school, Owen ran away. Though he'd put an extraordinary amount of thought into the reasons he should leave, he'd barely glanced over what he would do once he was gone. He had never imagined, even for a moment, how brutal being homeless really was.

Personality: Owen was born with a very sweet, gentle disposition that, as a child, often earned him the (typically harmless) ridicule of his peers. Though he brushed the teasing off, Owen secretly spent a lot of time trying to prove himself to others, and to gain the respect of those he loved. He can be childish sometimes, and occasionally he will go into bouts of sullen sulking, though he is never selfish and he always tries to be helpful and kind to those around him. He's a very hard worker, and his attempts to become a stronger, more masculine person, combined with his natural sensitivity and desire to help others, have developed into a strong sense of fearless (often thoughtless) justice.

Collar color: Pink.

Appearance: Owen has that round, British baby fat face, and a strong jaw that compliments the look, and his eyes are wide and brilliantly green, with a hint of yellow that make his irises look more like glass than pigment and muscle. His skin is naturally olive, a genetic gift from his Indian grandmother, and his eyebrows are strong and dark, as are his eyelashes and typically tousled hair.

Username: Kat Kazetouhi
Name: Rajani Doyle
Sex: female
Sexuality: straight
Age: 1799
Race: Shade
What kind of Master do I want: Someone I can protect.
Short Bio: Being a shade, Rajini has lived long and seen much. Shades age every hundred years the same way humans age every one year. But of course they tend to be much wiser. Rajini has been a slave for hundreds of years. She gets brought back to this mansion every time one of her masters dies. Sometimes she didn't mind, for many masters were evil and strong, so she did not have to protect them or feel any attachment. But others were fragile, so if they died unnaturally, she would feel a great amount of regret for failing her duties.
Shades are a guardian race, as well as the source of many mythological stories. According to each clan (Cat, Hound, Bird, Fish, Rodent, and Reptile) a shade can shape shift into their clan animal. A shade can come from a mix of up to two clans. Each shade turns into a unique breed of clan animal, in three forms: Tame, Hell, and Anthro. So Rajini, for instance, who is from the cat clan and the bird clan, would turn into a black cat or a raven, a panther or a winged panther, or a neko or black winged angel (of course, the latter can also be any combination of the two).
It is from Shades that we get the rumours of mermaids, sphinxes, Dracari, and various other mythological half-human creatures.
Shades also can use magics that coincide with their animal. A black cat and raven gives Rajani a certain amount of luck magic and darkness; Panther and hellcat give her great strength and dark fire; and dark angel gives her illusions. But they can all be put under the category of "Shadows".
Personality: Often cocky and sarcastic, well humoured and cheerful. But her personality has a sad, dark undertone. She will often be silent, deep in thought. When she is protecting she gets very serious. When she gets too angry, her personality can become almost demonic. As happy as she can be, there is a emptiness deep inside.
Collar color: Blue, Dark blue, Rainbow
