YuukuPlayed By:- Shinigami Ree -Physical StatsRank: Durem Protector
Race: Kitsune
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Height: 6' 6"
Scars: None, but plenty of tattoos.
Accessories: A small dagger.
Appearance: A tall man of nearly 6'6", Yuuku stands out in the crowd due to his slender frame, white hair, grey eyes, and ears and tail. The kitsune's ears and tail are white aside from the black on the very tips.
His body is covered with a series of graceful symbols and curves, spells written onto his very body for his protection. On his face are a few marks, a long stripe down the bridge of his nose, and a few thinner ones on his forehead and cheeks, all in black. Aside from these, Yuuku's androgynously pretty face is unmarked. He has a tendency to go around with a sly smile on his face, and those who know him know that smile means the fox is up to no good.
He prefers blacks and whites in his clothing, long flowing pants and sleeves that hide the rest of the symbols painted on him. A black jacket featuring silver embroidery and a white fur collar is nearly always worn, and messing up this jacket is one of the few guaranteed ways to actually piss off the man.Mental StatsLikes: Flirting with both men and women, getting his way, his job, a hot cup of cocoa in the morning, sleeping in, being petted and touched, and people who flirt with him.
Dislikes: Patrolling outside the city wall, the smell of coffee, people who take themselves too seriously, midnight shifts, zombies, talking about his past, people who insist on asking about his past, and close combat.
Personality: Some say Yuuku's eccentric behavior is the natural reaction of a man trying to recuperate from the loss of his family. A few hours of putting up with the kitsune, and they usually begin to agree with the rest of the citizens of Durem, in that Yuuku's behavior has gone beyond that, and the kitsune does it all on purpose.
They're right.
The fox loves to rile people up, to push them to their breaking points, to tease, to taunt, and generally piss them off. Neither gender nor rank is any barrier to the fox's attentions, and his fellow Protectors have learned to ignore him or stay away from him. Newbies are a favored target of his, and many a rookie has come away from their first shift with the fox utterly shell-shocked.
Those few who can tolerate the fox's eccentricities, are considered friends, though this grants them no reprieve.
In matters of the heart, Yuuku is VERY fickle. Lovers last as long as the kitsune is entertained by his partner, and gender is no barrier to the tall man. His longest relationship lasted two weeks, and ended with the girl leaving Durem, rather than hanging around and watching her ex-lover flirt with men and women alike, as if she had never meant a thing to him.
Anyone who catches the kit's attention is fair game, and he especially likes the pretty, witty ones.
Those who resist his charms are often the victims of surprise attacks, and the fox is notorious for not taking 'no' for an answer. That's not to say he's ever physically forced anyone, for Yuuku prefers much subtler tactics.
However, the man is fiercely loyal to fellow Protectors, and gladly aids his comrades in battle.
Before his family was slaughtered by the undead, Yuuku was a much quieter, saner man. Though now, he refuses to talk about that time, preferring not to stir up memories too painful to deal with. Perhaps if one was to get the kitsune drunk enough, he might talk about it, but every time the fox starts drinking (a rare enough event already) he retreats from all contact, becoming a totally recluse until sobriety returns once again.
In battle against the undead, is perhaps the only time Yuuku is actually serious. Against the zombies, the fox is relentless, casting his magic until either his opponent is dead, or he is exhausted. Despite his frail appearance, the kitsune is a powerhouse of magical energy. Abilities:Physical: The kitsune has a shocking amount of physical stamina, likely due to the fact that he's accustomed to losing blood during fights. He's flexible and fast, despite his height. He despises fighting up close, mostly out of vanity.
Mental: Magic runs in Yuuku's blood. Literally. Aside from being able to draw fairly well, the kitsune can perform magic by outlining a drawing with his own blood. The magic is short-lived, only two hours at most, with most lasting for a much shorter time. Shields, blasts of magic (using elements, or simply pure magical energy), and minor golems are the majority of Yuu's spells, although the black markings on his body are actually a series of spells that are quite different from the rest of his magic.
Because these tattoo's are sketched directly onto his body, they draw power directly from him whenever activated, and need only be renewed every few weeks, and after every use. They are a last ditch defense, a complicated series of shields and offensive spells designed to ward off the living and undead, should he ever be caught off guard. They require no advance preparation or bloodshed aside from when they are renewed, and a mere thought is enough to activate them.
As Yuuku has yet to recreate these inscriptions on another living being, he has no idea how they'd work on another. He is highly unlikely to try, due to the sheer amount of blood and magic required to lay them. HistoryOne of a family of kitsunes living a gypsy style life, Yuuku spent most of his life wandering around the wilds between the towns with his parents, grandparents, siblings, his mate (a pretty young kitsune named Mayi), and a few nieces and nephews. In such a large group, the man was at ease among others, his easy-going nature made him well liked and trusted.
The family was far from any town when the zombies came. By the time they made it to Aekea, the only survivors were Yuuku, his brother, and a few of his nephews. Already shattered by the loss of most of his family, the kitsune kept to himself during their short stay in Aekea. The battle there claimed the rest of his family, and he was taken along with the rest of the survivors just before Aekea fell.
They arrived in Durem, and Yuuku once again hid himself away from everyone.
Three months after arriving in Durem, the kitsune reemerged from his seclusion, his personality completely altered. From a quiet, compassionate young man, Yuuku had become an eccentric, sly man with little real consideration for his peers. He applied to join the Protectors, and for the first time, used his magic powers.
The then leader was convinced the kitsune had gone mad from grief, and the form of his magic made him look even more insane. Due to his battle prowess, Yuuku was accepted into the Durem Protectors, and always had an eye kept on him.
He has lived the past three years in Durem, annoying, teasing, taunting, and harassing his colleagues, the citizenry, and anyone else that catches his attention.

AuraPlayed By:- Shinigami Ree -Physical StatsRank: Durem Protector
Race: Android
Gender: Female
Age: 10 years
Height: 5' 2"
Scars: None
Accessories: Her scarf, always worn.
Appearance: A pale, shapely young woman with long grey hair and bright yellow eyes, there really aren't any external clues revealing that Aura's really an android. She keeps her long hair braided and out of her way, showing off the silver earrings she wears.
Her clothing is usually eastern in style, with predominately darker colors making up her wardrobe. She has a bandanna she always wears, the stars and moon pattern, along with the long tails, make it rather unique. Aside from the bandanna, she avoids extravagant clothing and accesories. Being a physical fighter, her clothing needs to be more functional than flamboyant. Mental StatsLikes: Peace and quiet, her job, socializing with intelligent people, and being up in the early morning.
Dislikes: People who flirt with her, Yuuku, people who don't take their jobs seriously, people who insist on treating her like a mere machine, and her emotions getting the best of her.
Personality: Aura is definitely one of the more anti-social Protectors. She's rude, snappy, and sometimes even disrespectful, though she always maintains a reasonable level of civility with the commander and other officers. She's got little patience with the civilians, though.
Thanks to her enchanced abilities, and her ability to go for weeks without needing to recharge, she's often not even in town itself, either on road patrols, or up on the walls for days on end.
On duty, she can be a bit more civil, though she has little tolerance for men who insist on flirting with her.
She has a tendency to bottle up her feelings, since she feels they're just a glitch in her programming. Abilities:Physical: Aura's strength and stamina is far beyond that of the average human. She can go for nearly five days without needing to recharge, and requires no breaks during this period. Though she is one of Durem's best sharpshooters, she much prefers getting up close and fighting, since she is invulnerable to the zombie contagion.
However, she has no problems using guns and other weaponry if they present an advantage.
Mental: No magic, above average intelligence.HistoryCreated 10 years ago by a rather reclusive engineer in Durem, the first six years were relatively routine for the android. At some point, she began feeling affection for the reclusive man who designed her, and since these feelings were never in her original programming, it confused the girl quite thoroughly.
When the zombies came, he took the girl back to his lab, and made a few upgrades and changes to her. Once merely an assistant and companion, Aura became quite the adept fighter, and became one of the Protectors. Over that first year, the android became more and more attached to her creator.
Unfortunately, he died in one attack, leaving Aura with her confusing emotions, and no one to ask about them. She became standoffish and rude, pushing all others away out of fear of becoming attached again.

ToshiyasuPlayed By:TheInfamousSadie Physical StatsRank: Durem Protector
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Height: 5' 9"
Scars: Various small, well-healed scars across chest and back.
Accessories: Stave with shearing blades on both ends.
Appearance: At first glance Toshiyasu appears to be 17 or 18. It's only after a person meets and exchanges a few words with him that they realize he is a few years older. After mentioning his age and giving him a second glance, his age becomes more apparent. Toshiyasu's hair is rich, golden blonde and his eyes are intense green. His skin is very pale, even in places that have been marred by cuts and bruises suffered in battle. Black tribal tattoos adorn most of his lower body, though he is rarely without pants in public. The tips of some tattoos are visible around his waistline if he is going shirtless. The initials of former comrades lost in battle are tattooed on his left forearm.Mental StatsLikes: Strong, black coffee, a job well done, displays of honour, comraderie.
Dislikes: Non-sense, frivolity, fickleness, deception, bullying
Personality: Toshiyasu is deeply compassionate, and possessed of a strong sense of loyalty, discipline and honour. He takes his job as a Protector very seriously and the role has become his life. While he wasn't a part of the Aekea incident, he's seen the effects of the tragedy firsthand, and his way of coping with the grief is to give his life to the cause. He wants nothing more than to see people recover the shattered remnants of their lives and bury their lost loved ones.
Toshiyasu takes himself way too seriously. Even during casual competitions with the other Protectors where it doesn't matter, he's a sore loser. Toshiyasu has a habit of missing the boat when it comes to fun, love, laughter and basically everything else that makes life worth living. He sometimes experiences feelings of regret and lonliness, which he buries by just training or finding more work to do. He's quite repessed and could use a laugh, as uncomfortable as it makes him.
Despite that, he does blush like a fool when embarrassed, have a wicked streak and a sense of humour, but it takes a serious amount of cajoling before it comes out.Abilities:Physical: Toshiyasu is well trained in several areas of combat, but he much prefers long-range weapons. His specialty weapon is a cast-iron staff fitted with shearing blades 6 inches long on either end. It's heavy, and requires much dexterity, flexibility, strength and control. Toshiyasu spends much of his time training.
Mental: Due to Toshi's one-track mind, once he gets focused on something it's very tough to break him out of it. He tends to want to do things until the task is done. He also wants the task to be perfect. He habitually pushes himself to his limits far too often, and being wired for battle when there is none will leave him restless for days.
Regardless of how he pushes himself, he's a softie. He trains himself relentlessly because believes if he's going to ease anyone's pain it will have to be because he's the best on the field. He needs to learn that sometimes all a person needs is kindness and a smile. HistoryToshiyasu has lived in Durem most of his life. He and a few of his guildmates agreed to become Scouts. They are highly skilled fighters possessed of amazing stamina and are able to function on little food and sleep. They roamed the raods between the towns, killing any zombies they found and took care (or took out) any hapless person they came across. He's spent a total of 4 years in the field and he's the only one left of his team. After bearing their losses, he returned home to Durem. On his left wrist, the initials of his former guildmates are tattooed there.

Penelope Worthington Played By:Guyy Physical Stats Rank:
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Age: 71
Height: 5' 0”
Scars: Nothing particularly unusual. A few minor scars here and there.
Accessories: Rarely seen in public without a nice hat and her handbag. If it's raining she'll frequently have an umbrella. Tends to walk with the aid of a simple wooden cane when she feels stiff. The handbag contains a variety of unusual items, suggesting it is a lot bigger on the inside than it looks.
Appearance: Penny appears to be nothing more than your average, if a little stereotypical, little old lady. She's small and looks a bit like a breeze could blow her over. She tends to hobble around slowly though with determination. As such her skin is pale and wrinkled, with pale grey hair and grey eyes. Whatever colour they once were is lost in the mists of time.
She dresses neatly and properly, despite the current situation. She always wears comfortable and sensible shoes beneath her wool skirts and there is never a tear in her tights. It's simply not done. She keeps her hair up in a neat bun and needs to wear small wire rimmed glasses. Often her nice woolen sweaters are covered by a heavy jacket to keep out the cold. Mental Stats Likes: Knitting, cats, tea (with or without scones), a good crossword, romance novels (but she won't often admit that), polite people, listening to the radio, gameshows.
Dislikes: Zombies, rudeness, impatience, cold weather, aches and pains (though she tends to keep quiet about them at least), loudness, swearing, complainers.
Personality: Penny is a lovely little old lady, almost as if she stepped right out of a storybook. She bakes tasty treats and drinks tea while knitting and listening to old dramas on the radio. She's often smiling and pleasant. She doesn't complain very much, even when surrounded by fast paced teenagers or zombies. Unless they are rude. She doesn't like rudeness at all. And she will often correct mistakes whenever she can. She can get irritable when people try to hurry her along.
All the same she tends to be very compassionate and patient herself. She is the sort of woman who gently shoos a spider out of the window rather than squashing it. She's not too sure what to make of zombies, seeing as technically they're already dead. She just knows they cause quite a fuss and an annoyance.
She can get a bit frustrated when her body betrays her when it matters. Or when it's cold or wet outside and the weather makes her ache all the more. She tries not to let it get to her too much, just like the zombie troubles, she tends to muddle along and deal with whatever comes her way no matter how troublesome or difficult it is.
She is exceptionally stubborn and determined. She won't be put off things easily when she has her mind set on something, even if it means doing something dangerous or being relentless in her pursuit. This can make her an annoyance to others, but her heart is always in the right place. Having survived more than one war in her time has well prepared her for the current difficulties faced by Gaia and she takes it all in her stride. Abilities: Physical: Penny lacks in physical strength. A lot. She's small, she's weak and she's frail looking. She's slow and often ends up taking a nap in the afternoon. But she is surprisingly tough. Things that would put most people her age in hospital tend just to slow her down a bit. She's not going to survive a fall off a cliff, but she's not likely to break a hip if she falls over.
Mental: Mentally is where she exceeds herself. Her sheer stubbornness and determination are great strengths for her. To the point they have actually become a form of magic. If she is serious enough she can cast small charms on certain people and items. This can be as simple as telling a kettle to hurry up and boil, or as useful as shooing zombies off her lawn without them attacking her. She doesn't always realise she is casting magic, especially not when she's irritated. She's also very sharp in mind, having lost none of her faculties with age. Except perhaps a little memory. History Given her age, Penelope has a lot of history. A lot of it can be glossed over. She had a relatively normal childhood in a loving family. Her father had a respectable job and her mother stayed at home with her and her sisters. During her teenage years her talent for her unusual form of magic began to blossom, though it was never really recognised. In her early adulthood she had a variety of jobs, all common things for the time and her gender such as secretary and seamstress. Eventually she settled down working as a nurse. Her increasing magical talent became quite useful during this time and it was noticed that many of her patients recovered remarkably well.
She never married, opting instead to take care of her ageing parents in her middle age until eventually they passed away. By that point she figured there was little point in courting. Time passed and she finally retired, her sisters gradually passing away one by one. She is the last of her immediate family left, though she has a variety of nieces, nephews and their children. She took up a few casual hobbies and started to enjoy the peace and quiet of her retirement.
And then there were zombies. Life isn't so quiet any more, but she's determined to carry on and not let it get to her. For her, life is normal. Even if she does get caught in the occasional upset.

MayiPlayed By:- Shinigami Ree -Physical StatsRank: Barton Protector
Race: Kitsune
Gender: Female
Age: 25
Height: 5'4"
Scars: None
Accessories: She typically wears a bandanna to keep her hair out of her face.
Appearance: A petite brown-haired, green-eyed woman, Mayi sticks out around others for her kitsune features, a pair of fox-like ears and tail. She dresses simply, having spent her early life outside of towns, she feels that dresses and skirts get in the way of moving freely. Her tops often leave her stomach exposed, though there are no tattoos or piercing visible there. In fact, she has no tattoos or piercings at all, and having twins definitely hasn't affected her slim, curvy figure.
Her kids, both 5 years old, resemble their father far more than their mother.Mental StatsLikes: Her kids, her fellow protectors, being able to have a day off, sleeping in, peace and quiet.
Dislikes: Being away from her kids, people asking about the father, people trying to hit on her, the zombies.
Personality: A friendly, quiet woman, Mayi would be far happier just taking care of her kids, however, she just can't quite let go of her past. Though she denies it totally, there's still an almost irrational desire to get revenge for her mate's death, and the death of his family. She usually splits her time between Protector duties and raising her kids, though she's gotten past the point of wanting to go on road patrols.
She's extremely fond of the twins, and spends most of her off-duty time with them.Abilities:Physical: Very fit, well able to handle the grenade launcher she typically uses during zombie battles.
Mental: Nothing particularly remarkable, though she has an uncanny sense for when her son, Kael, is about to do something he shouldn't. History Once part of a large clan of kitsune, Mayi's life was blissfully peaceful. She had settled down with her mate Yuuku and his family, and was happy with the idea of spending the rest of her life with him.
Of course, the arrival of the zombies screwed all that up. What was a peaceful night on a beach became hell as the group was attacked by a large band of zombies. Most died that night, leaving the survivors deeply shaken as they fled for their lives, finding safety in the trees finally. During the ensuing efforts to get to a town, she was briefly separated from the group, and chased off by yet another roaming undead.
She eventually found her way to Barton, and after a few days confined to insure she hadn't been infected, she insisted on going out and looking for her lost mate and family. Unfortunately, even though she managed to retrace her steps, she couldn't find anyone, and eventually resigned herself to the fact that they'd all died.
A few months after this, she had twins, both bearing a strong resemblance to their supposedly dead father. She raises them on her own, devoting her spare time to them, often relying on friends to watch the twins while she's on duty. Though she's made peace with the past, she hasn't forgotten that the zombies are responsible for depriving her and the kids of the family.
