Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hello everyone, and welcome to the eighth faction: Demon! Everyone can join this faction, so please feel free to join. ^_^

Look forward to hearing from you all. biggrin

Every field is required unless otherwise stated. No 'N/A's, please.



If you're still loyal, put an arrow emoticon in the PM and label it 'Haunted'.





Remember that the price of betraying your faction is death. So you had to get away some how, otherwise you would be dead. If something happened between your character and another player's character, make sure to talk to that roleplayer before you make it so. I want some sort of notice that both of you agreed on it.

If you're traitorous, put a talk2hand emoticon in the PM and label it 'Heartless Creatures'.

I hope you all enjoy the demon faction!

Username: zfatal
Character Name: Nare Umbratrer
Subfaction and Clan: Tangu, of the Dread Raven clan.
Age: He is nearly forty.
Bio: The dark, beautiful blue and black wings of Nare's identify him as Dread Raven in Tangu clan. The Dread Raven are known to be singularly solemn, foreboding, and sometimes morose in nature--they say that the Raven can foretell death. Unlike the common relative the crows, raven are generally more respected and revered, while crows are taken by humanity as a symbol of decay. While this is not necessarily true, Nare is completely separate from his 'clan.'

Born to a traitor mother, and having a father unknown, Nare was soon orphaned, as said traitor mother was found and killed. Knowing this, and afraid of his own guilt by association, Nare hid his demonic form and took refuge in the world of humans. He never discovered whether his clan would persecute him, because he never asked. As far as he knows, his existence has never been revealed to the Tangu.

Older now, and somewhat wizened to the ways of the world, Nare dares to search for information regarding his father and his ancestry. He knows that he is a demon, and that he is Tangu. Obviously, he must be of the Dread Raven (For what else could he be?)--this much, has he surmised. The only difficulty is remaining unknown himself, in the process of discovering his past.
Persona: Nare generally tends to remain quiet and impartial--this is how he survived from his bird brethren for so long, he believes. This reserved demeanor often causes him to be perceived as thoughtful, although he takes his time in thinking because of instinct, not intellect.

Not to say that this Dread Raven is stupid--he possesses above-average intelligence, but is nothing particularly remarkable. Nare is quick to gauge the personality of others; this is a skill he prides himself on. Likely taking after his Tangu nature, Nare tends to remain clean and well-groomed if possible, but he is a practical soul in that understanding more important things--such as avoiding that sword rather than avoiding the mud behind you--exist.

Nare is likely as vain and majestic, graceful and agile, as the next Tangu, and especially the next Dread Raven, but his particularly quiet and self-reserved nature keeps this side of him rather hidden. As far as the solemn and grave aspects of his particular race and clan, Nare is never one for pursuing humor, though he can be morose if the humor presents itself.

Generally, toward most of humanity, Nare is silently disdainful, to a small degree, and very withdrawn thereto. Because humanity is so large a part of his entire life, however, Nare has become used to them, and even dares to enjoy their company at most times. Toward fellow demons, Nare is actually joyous--he encounters so few as a demon-to-demon peer, and most will overlook his guise as a human. Even to your fellow demonic race, after several decades of conformity, humanity's stench (so to speak) and mannerisms tend to rub off.

Only toward Tangu is Nare uncharacteristically edgy, as they unnerve him. Of course, Orocho can slightly unnerve him as well, but to most demons, an encounter with him is simply another human to pass on by. Any other races, non-demon and non-human, Nare is rather indifferent toward. He has never encountered a headhunter, and probably hasn't realized any time he has conversed with a dragon, or phoenix or such.
Weapons/Spells: As a human-in-pretend, Nare is capable of wielding sword and shield, bow and arrow, et cetera. He is not magically proficient, though he only tried once or twice before giving up on it. Incidentally, although Nare is not aware of this ability, his mind is nigh impregnable by mental (psychic) invasion, such as hypnosis, telepathic attack, or mind-reading. Illusions and other similar magics are lessened in effectiveness against him, as well, although he has absolutely no defense against the good old reliable fireball.

Like all Tangu, Nare is light, agile, quick-footed, and perceptive. His eyesight is supreme, although other senses are at or around the typical level. As far as strength goes, Nare is more powerful than the average Tangu, being built heavier, though this makes him somewhat sluggish compared to other Tangu (even though he can still run circles around humans). Were he to enter half-demon form, Nare's wings are exceptionally strong and sturdy (as well as beautiful), though his skills in flight are diminished from lack of practice.

As a full-demon form--a raven, basically--Nare is lightning fast, but it is difficult to attack anything when you are that small. Nare never uses talons or similar natural weapons in human or half-demon form.
Mission in Life: At first, Nare only wished to survive incognito. Recently, he began wondering about his father, and his clan in general. Although survival, and possibly travel, is still his main agenda, finding out about his past is a concern that is continuing to grow in importance.
Quirks: Generally speaking, to be quirky is to stand out, and to be memorable. Nare tries to refrain from this at all costs, and so, other than his silver hair (which should tip most off that he isn't a typical human, at the very least), he doesn't stand out much. Through cognitive reconstruction, Nare has essentially silenced any and all traits of the Tangu within him, to seem more human. The traits are still there--he just keeps them quiet.
Any Factions or Subfactions He Likes? Why?: Although in a strange, familiar-to-weirded-out range of attitudes regarding humanity, Nare will admit that the race as a whole has captured his true affection.
Any He Hates? Why?: Nare does not hate any particular race, aside from headhunters, whom he has heard much about but never encountered personally.
Demonic Form:

Pets:

Not so much of a pet, as an on-and-off companion. One day, Alatus appeared. The fox-type creature, the name of which race Nare does not know, found and followed him one day. At the end of a week or so, Alatus surprised Nare by speaking with a clear, masculine voice. Later, Nare learned of Alatus' hidden wings. The fox is very constructive and helpful--more so in Nare's younger years--and an admirable companion (when he wants to be). Nare still does not know what Alatus is, and any questions about that and similar topics are ignored.
Theme Song: Narcolepsy | Third Eye Blind
Line of Song that Made You Choose That Song: The whole damn song. XD
(lyrics)
Other: The blue markings on Nare's chest, which can be seen on either his human or half-demon form, come and go as they please, apparently. Nare does not know what they mean, nor why they are sometimes visible and sometimes not.



Username: SilentShadowDreamer
Character Name: Cybil Castaloth. To outsiders, she is Cybil Crow.
Subfaction and Clan: Tangu, of the Trickster Crow clan.
Age: 21.
Bio: Cybil was one of a family of five children. Always the most mischievous and likely to get in trouble, she tended to take the blame for things that weren’t always her fault. To be fair, usually they were. But the fire was not. The fire in their home that killed her youngest sister and her mother was not her fault, but for the millionth time, as it did for everything else, the blame fell squarely on Cybil’s shoulders.

Since it seemed to those that blamed her that she was escalating from her childish pranks, it came down to a simple choice: Either she got out until this got out of her blood, or they would throw her out. So she left willingly enough, and intends to stay away until either they feel better about her, or the truth behind the night of the fire comes out.
Persona: Although Cybil can be quiet and careful when she has to be, she rarely does have to be. She takes her life as one of the Trickster Crow clan seriously, and despite her caution, she’s very mischievous and loves to play tricks. In the tradition of the crow clans, she’s also much smarter than she looks. She’s wary of outsiders and rarely trusts their intentions, but she can be sweet to those she feels close to. Cybil’s mischievous nature and love of pranks have dimmed down slightly since the fire, but they’re still there.
Weapons/Spells: Cybil’s ability to fly forms one of her best weapons, and she often uses it in reconnaissance. Though she’s stronger in spy work than open combat, she can handle long daggers and her prized longbow with equal efficiency.
Mission in Life: Ostensibly, Cybil’s sole mission in life is to live it fully, and have as much fun as possible on the way – but in a quiet corner of her mind, she wants to know who or what was really responsible for the fiery deaths that led to her voluntary exile.
Quirks: Cybil has a tendency to walk as though she might leap up into the air at any second and not come back down. She’ll also occasionally throw in a few dance steps, completely at random. When she’s in pain – particularly right after an injury – she’ll either get a crazy grin on her face or actually start laughing, and she can never explain what’s so funny later on.
Any Factions or Subfactions She Likes? Why?: Cybil is quite fond of the Inu – mostly because they’re so easy to play tricks on. She also likes humans, because most of them cause almost as much mischief as she does.
Any She Hates? Why?: Cybil doesn’t like the Nekos or the Orocho – the Nekos are a dislike simply because cats have a tendency to chase her in her bird form, and the Orocho because, well, snakes. Euwwww.
Half-Demon Appearance:

Demonic Form:

Theme Song: Learn to Fly, Foo Fighters
Line of Song that Made You Choose That Song:
"I’ll make my way/back home when I learn to fly/ high…", although really most of the song fits.
Other: All members of Cybil’s clan use the same last name, Crow, when speaking to outsiders, to make sure no one even considers that they might be Ravens, who they aren’t fond of being mistaken for. Within the clan, they have last names of their own, of course.




Username: Luminol Lights
Character Name: Phirun "Phi" Chanthou
Subfaction and Clan: Tangu, of the Pretty Bird Clan
Age: 30 Which makes her a young teenager
Bio: Phi was born a prodigy. She could talk and fly before most other hatchlings had learned to identify words. Everything that was taught to her, she picked up quickly. While this would normally be something celebrated, it was a fact that Phi later hated. Phi's mother had always dreamed of having power, but hadn't been able to accomplish it with her own skills. With Phi, however....

It all began when Belphe turned down the offer to take over the Clan once the elders passed on. Phi had always loved Belphe, seeing her as an older sister and a best friend, but her choice caused small resentment to grow in her heart. With the ever-loved Belphe gone, Phi's mother saw a perfect opportunity to situate her daughter into the needed position. Immediately Phi was pushed into studying and training harder, and into making nice with people in power. Phi hated it. She had no aspirations in reaching high levels of power, all she wanted to do was have fun and be an average kid. Going against her mother, however, was pretty much asking for a beating. Her mother, to the world, was kind and charming, but was much darker and frightening in private.

Phi, on her birthday, was sent out into the world. She was older, her mother said, and it was time for her to get some real life experience. So, out she went. Now she's traveling around, enjoying her freedom while it is there.
Persona: Phi is usually your typical girl. She's cheerful, outgoing, stubborn, and easily develops crush on guys, especially the cute older ones. Part of Phi, the side that things of Belphe as an older sister, admires her and wants to be like her, resulting in her trying to imitate some of her actions. Overall, for a prodigy, she is amazingly normal.
Weapons/Spells: Naturally, Phi knows how to fight in her demon form. She'd be a sad excuse for a prodigy if she didn't. Phi, however, is also very skilled with weapons. While she knows how to use a large array of them, she usually sticks to her bow and arrow, with which she is a deadly shot. Additionally, she carries around two daggers in her boots for close-combat situations.
Mission in Life: To escape her mother's control, and possible to be like, and exceed the accomplishments of, Belphe. She isn't sure yet.
Quirks: Phi is a picky eater, openly refusing to eat things like, but not limited to, fish, water fowl, eggs, apples, and broccoli. Her favorite drink is Hot Cocoa, and she needs a small light to sleep with due to her irrational fear of the dark.
Any Factions or Subfactions She Likes? Why?: Obviously she likes her own, but she is also fond of Humans. They're such interesting people.
Any She Hates? Why?: She can't say that she's fond of things that try to eat her, or Dragons, because of how much room they take up when they fly.
Demonic Form: Like this only a bit bigger.
