A small village that had housed roughly one hundred beastiles glowed with an infuriating red flame from the arson that had been committed there. All that was left of the village were five young boys quickly headed to warn the beastile capital city, Jaroah. None of the boys drew to a stop until reaching the hundred foot walls that housed the great city of southern Naroahan.
______________________________________ The Eye of the Beast takes place in the city of Jaroah, during a time of suffering for the Beastile Nation of the continent of Naroahan. An age ago the Beastiles had been a very populous race, but wars amongst themselves had dwindled their numbers immensely. Recent attacks had been happening on the outer villages, and the human armies were at fault. So far no major battle had taken place, only mass arson and small skirmishes where the beastiles had won with only light casualties. I ask that the characters for this forum be beastile only; though a rare trader or someone else with a really good reason to be in the city of Jaroah might be accepted. I will not accept any human profiles, so don't bother to send one. Begin posting once you have been accepted. Profile Skeleton [b]Gaianame[/b]: [b]Name[/b]: [b]Age[/b]: [b]Race[/b]: [b]Abilities/Magic[/b]: [b]Occupation[/b]: [b]Faction[/b]: [b]Height[/b]: [b]Weight[/b]: [b]Appearance[/b]: (Text or Character art + Text only. I don't want pictures of anime that was not drawn to fit this character.) [b]Personality[/b]: (At least a few basic traits, more can be revealed throughout the roleplay.) [b]Biography[/b]: (Again give us at least a basic outline of who the character is. If they can use magic post it here.

For his entire childhood he grew up apprenticing under his father learning how to make locks that even magic couldn't surpass, and of course learning how to get past all of those locks. After the human military killed his father and stole all of their possessions, he found his way into the Predators. Appearance:  Falkonin is short for a beastile, roughly 5'4" and weighs only a hundred pounds due to the light bone density needed to keep him in flight.

Falkonin continued to lean against the edge of the building as he carefully slipped his blade around the small leather purse hanging on the belt of the woman in front of him. After it was loose he palmed it and hid it up his sleeve and turned down another busy street quickly losing himself in the crowd in case the woman had happened to notice him. Feeling the weight he guessed there was enough gold in the purse to feed him for the next week, if he didn't have debts to pay off.

Jaroah--Plagued Fist Dojo
Death is a secret, a mystery in this world. No one can know how they are going to die, or when. But once they do, the cold is the only thing they can truly remember….it’s the only thing that clings to us all. You can’t feel you’re loved ones touch, you can’t feel the air coming into you‘re lungs, all you can feel is the cold… I should know, as the only student of “The Plagued Fist Style,” death had come a very big part my life. For me, death is never a secret, no matter how much I wish for it to be…
“*Gasping*........It happened again....” “You had another death dream,huh?” said an eerie voice from across the room. It was my grandfather Plague, wearing a worn masters robe and sash. Smoking from his pipe and stroked his long matted beard. “Do not worry yourself with such dreams, they come less frequently the more you learn to control you’re powers over the dead..” I rolled out of my bed and stretched my arms as high as they can reach. Grandfather Plague then handed me my clothes and a bowl full of…. “Grandfather, what are we eating?” “Maggots…” “Gah, again, we had maggots yesterday.” “Stop complaining and eat…Today is a big day and I want you to keep up you’re strength. Now eat and get dressed..”

"Oof!" Adeelar muttered as she saw the bar fight. The poor, small man didn't want to fight, he had been provoked. She sighed, rubbing her hands on a white towel, before leaping over the bar and walking over to the fighting duo. She was wearing the uniform the bar had given her, a pair of brown leather trousers, brown heeled boots, and a yellow babydoll top. She still had her belt, even if she wasn't wearing her usual dress. From the dress, she procured her dagger.
"Oy! Stop the fight!" she yelled to the two. The drunken man looked up, and she noted that he was a bear beastile. He sneered at her, looking her slim, curvaceous figure over.
"Heeeeey, babe, I'll stop if you give me a night for free," he slurred. She hissed through her teeth, pointing the dagger to his neck.
"Look, bub, I don't like to fight. And, bub, you're too drunk to even think about anything like that. Besides, you're not my type," she hissed, looking to the burly bouncer to help her escort the man of the premisis. The beastile grabbed him by the scruff of his collar, lifting him off the ground, as if he was a kitten compared to the tall, seven foot man.
"So, Dee, what is yer type," he taunted her. Adeelar, well, the smile on her face simply widened, and she shrugged. Sticking her tounge out at him, she leapt over the bar again, flexible and smooth. Her wings spread out once, looking like an angel's.

Falkonin walked through the door of one of the many bars that he visited throughout the city of Jaroah. As he entered one of the large bouncers was throwing out a large Bear Beastile. Upon entering the building he noticed that it was quite busy, which never bothered him; the more people there were, the easier it was to blend in.
Keeping his hood up he took a stool that didn't seem to fallen apart and sat at the bar, noticing who was bartending that night. "Why hello Adeelar, I'll take the usual, a plate of uncooked Salmon and a glass of Devil Juice." Before she could comment on his already pending bar tab he pulled out a few gold coins from his stolen purse and slid them across the bar. "Theres enough to cover my tab and even a little extra for you."

Adeelar's eyes seemed to brighten as she saw Falkonin. She nodded instantly, setting up his drink, while someone else got his meal. It was done quickly, and she set it in front of him. She smiled at him kindly, winking. "First drink's on the house," she said to her friend, waving to a sign that said 'Happy Hour' in bright, happy colors. As he gave her the coins, she raised an eyebrow at him, a bemused smile on her tan face.
"Good day, I suppose?" she said as she filled up a mug for another customer, "You're lucky you weren't here a while ago, though, I'm sure you saw the bear being tossed out." She ignored the stares of the many men who were surprised to see a female bartender. Most of the bars in the area sported only male bartenders, but she was amazingly skilled at her work, even better than some of the long-time workers here, not that they minded. Her boots clicked on the ground as she walked, collecting and refilling mugs, tankards, and shot glasses. It seemed that one man had had a few drinks too many, and was now sprawled across the bar, snoring.
A chuckle escaped her, as she shook her head. This guy was always here, and always ordered the same thing. It was her patented drink, the 'One-Two Punch'. She picked up the shot glass, handing them off to another man, who was off to clean them. She returned to Falkonin, leaning against the bar. "Are you going to be alright tonight?" she asked kindly, her eyes concerned for him. She hated how he put himself in danger with thieving. Dee had already offered him a job here, twice now, and the offer still stood. Many times, when Eva was out of town, like she usually was, she'd let him stay in her living room, mainly because of the potent drinks he ordered.

Jaroah--Town Square
My grandfather and I went into town, after accepting an invitation to a kumate tournament that’s being held in the Soaring Dragon’s dojo, a place blocks away from where we lived. Once every other year, the soaring dragons would hold a tournament to prove to other dojo’s and martial arts masters that they are number one. To me its just one big ego trip with elimination rounds. But they pass it off as an honorable event that all who believe that they are skilled should join. Every year they win their own trophy, and every year, they rub it in everyone’s face, but today is going to be different, at least…That’s what grandfather believes.
I had no intentions on going to this thing myself, but my grandfather has done a lot for me. Teaching me the Plagued Fist style is something that he never wanted me to take lightly, and I respected him and his teachings, for what ever reason....For me to actually learn these deadly techniques, my grandfather had to bring me back from the brink of death. That’s right…In some standards, I’m considered to be undead. Not enough to have worms crawling thru my brain, or my skin rotting off my bones, but just enough to count….But I’ll tell you that part later. “Where here…” My grandfather said. We were surrounded by a crowd of martial-arts fighters, waiting at the front gates of the Soaring Dragon’s dojo. “Take a look to you’re left, then you’re right, then straight ahead. Each one of these fighters will be begging you to end their misery before you even step into the ring… twisted ”

Picking up the raw salmon Falkonin ripped its head off with his beak and swallowed it. He continued to chew on his food, ripping it to shreds as he looked about the bar, taking into account everyones movements. By watching them he was able to tell who walked with the grace of a fighter even if they were drunk. It was part of his training to seek out any possible threats in his surrounding, and be prepared to defend himself at all time.
As Falkonin stretched his wings out his cloak folded between them before covering them as his wings came back to rest on his shoulders. "I wish I would have been here earlier, I might have a had a bit of fun. As for the day it was not as good as I had hoped. I made enough to pay off a debt, but I feel that they will consider what I will be bringing them inadequate. Don't think I'll give them a copper more than they are owed. I'll take two more shots of Devils Juice."

Adeelar's eyes darkened as she listened about his debts. She was not at all disgusted by his way of eating, and instead, rolled her eyes as he mentioned wanting to be here earlier. "Yeah, right. You say that now, but I don't think so," she said calmly as she prepared his drink. She had no hint of laughter in his voice.
"I'll pay off any debts you need, you know that," she told him, turning to him again, and leaning against the bar. Dee lived above the bar for free, because the bar wanted to accommodate their workers at the place of employment, so that they were ready to work at any time. It didn't bother her much anyway. It meant that she hardly spent money. With a smile, Dee listened to the banter at the bar, until someone yelled to her. She perked up, listening to them talk about her dancing. She wasn't going to dance tonight, the stage had been destroyed in a bar fight. A laugh escaped her lips as she listened to that, and smiled.
"Luck's on my side tonight, I suppose," Adeelar said, the smile on her face a wide grin.

Falkonin gave a cackle of a laugh when she offered to pay off his debts. "The debts were not gold, but they have already been paid with blood; only those who are guilty though. I let the innocent run and my... creditors wont like that very much. The job got done and their names will never be attached, so we'll know how it goes by whether I show up again here tomorrow night."
He threw on a grin and licked the edge of his beak as his eyes met Adeelar's directly. He noticed as she glanced toward the stage as the crowds noise picked up. "It seems that this crowd might get a little too restless tonight for it to be safe anyhow."
At the exact moment he glanced towards the door two big boned Rhino beastiles walked through the door. One had a black eyepatch covering his left eye and the other had half of his horn broken off. They saw Falkonin after a short search, the wings giving him away even though they were hidden behind a cloak. Falkonin swung his head back towards Ameena. "Seems as if I have some visitors, Let us hope that luck shall be on my side as well." He grabbed a fish right of the plate that was being served to a nearby customer and ate it whole giving both of the men a daring glare. "So lets get this over with."
One of the rhinos pointed towards the door as the other one began leading the way out. Falkonin didnt glance back towards any of the patrons or workers for he didn't want to have any of them associated with him, instead he began looking at the weak points in the armor on the guard ahead of him as he was strolled out the door and down the streets.
((Hey guys I might get another post or two in before I leave, but I will for sure be gone from the 13th through the 18th. Lets see if we can't get a few more active members in this thread before I come back smile ))

Jaroah-Town Square
Before I was being taught the art of plagued fist, I lived with my mother, father, and grandmother. They were mere commoners with a small farm several miles from here. Only refusing to learn the art of necromancing from grandfather did my father managed to lived a normal life. But that was when a group bandits wanted our land for themselves.
It wasn’t long until the bandits totally invaded our farm, and ransacked our home. My family fled without looking back to see if their son was with them. I was found laying in a puddle of my own blood in the meadows. My grandfather came around a day later for a visit, only to finding himself clearing out the bandits with a horde of zombies. Once my grandfather resurrected me, he told me everything that happened.
"What happened to mom and dad...And where's grandmother?",I asked. With a straight face, he told me they left me to die. He took me in and I began learning that which my parents refused to talk about. Grandfather said as a kid, and even in death, I was much stronger then my parents. They were cowards, but I didn’t blame ’em for it. They chose to live a life of peace. My grandfather gave me a second chance at life, a chance to strike back at those who would make other people suffer.
The doors of the Soaring Dragon’s dojo opened, and everyone calmly went inside. It was a very important event, much so, that everyone kept their reserve so that they do not ruin this “honorable” moment with idle chatter and clamoring.

Falkonin had discovered that the neck was very open, but sinking a blade through the shoulder would be difficult. If he could get a deep enough stroke, he could take out the jugular, but again it would be fairly difficult. The elbows were open, but the rhino beastiles build was too big for Falkonin to overpower. It was a small opening in the back that proved to be the easiest weak point, as a flaw in the design of the armor left an opening in the kidneys. A soft cloth belt covered the hole, but it was clearly an open spot.
As quick as he noticed it he let a small dagger slip down each sleeve and stabbed them both into the small openings on the kidneys of the guard. As soon as the body dropped Falkonin rushed ahead and launched himself into the air, using his wings to slow him down as if he were hovering over the guard. Reaching over his shoulders he pulled the two poisoned shortswords out of their sheaths on his back and sliced them across each other on the throat of the second rhino. The rhino didn't drop right away, but seeing as how the poisoned blades had drawn blood, Falkonin knew it would not be long.
Jumping again, he took to flight, landing on the roof of the nearest building. From there he took the rooftops until he came to the belltower of an old abandoned church. It was a home for many thieves trying to lay low. Their were only two ways in, through the belltower, or the sewers. The belltower was unreachable by stairs, so it had become Falkonin's home.

His debt was not due until noon of the next day, but it was not uncommon for the collectors to come early. However, Falkonin would not let them take him captive; and seeing as how he already killed the guards sent to fetch him, a death sentence would be placed on his own head. That meant that the only way he could get out of this bargain would be to kill the man, or bear, behind it all.
Falkonin awoke with the rising of the sun, and he jumped out of the church balcony's window, fluttering his wings enough to catch him from the three story fall to the ground. It would take him a little while to find Coran, a large black bear beastile that was known for his ruthlessness and high standing in the underground markets. Falkonin would have to catch the man outside of his lair in order to kill him without facing death himself. This would not be an easy task.
It was after the sun went down when Falkonin finally noticed the parade of guards surrounding Coran. Falkonin, hidden behind his hood, rounded a corner into an alleyway where he took flight to the rooftops. He grabbed two of his throwing daggers from their hiding place and held them in each hand. It would be no easy shot, but he would have to nail his target with the knives if he was going to carry this off. For that he would need to sink a blade directly into the throat of the giant bear.
It was another hour of jumping roof to roof before he finally had a good chance at the man. The group was heading into a bar and Falkonin had a perfect downward angle at Coran. The first blade flung down and struck the large bear in the shoulder, which caused Coran to look up at the exact moment the second blade came blaring down, sticking straight into the throat of the large bear, sending him toppling backwards as his last breath left his mouth with a splutter of blood. Of course the guards chased him, but with the power of flight, none of them were even near keeping up with him. He was released from his debt, and the way the underground worked, their new leader would have to recognize that. In fact whoever was to take over should respect Falkonin, for he was the one responsible in giving the new leader a promotion.

In all that she did, she was a careful, and powerful fighter. Adeelar was off her shift for some time now, and thus was spending her time practicing to defend herself. She was not a brutal fighter, but an agile one, analyzing her enemies before she struck. At the moment, she was sparring with a close friend of hers, with a blunt version of her dagger.
Finally, with a quick, precise spin and a twirl, she stuck the knife blade into her friend's wodden armor that protected her stomach, effectively killing her wif they were using true blades. "Hah... You're getting better," Dee said to the tall, slim beastile. She was a blue jay, one of Dee's many avian friends. She had few other friends outside of that circle, save for her co-workers at the bar.
Speaking of work, she was late! Turning around and spreading her wings, she flew off, not landing until she reached the bar. The bouncer was waiting, smiling aimiably as she looked at him. "Right on time," he said, opening the door. She darted in, ready to get to work. A smile spread across her face as she began working, setting out the glasses, and cleaning. There were already customers, looking for a drink, and maybe breakfast. She was cooking and handing out beers, exchanging friendly banter with the patrons.
