    Character’s Name: Sakura
    Character’s Age: 29
    Employer: Fenix Inc.
    Faction Rank: President
    Character’s Appearance: Sakura is a short, yet stocky above-average looking enhanced human. His medium short length hair is a light white pink and he has emerald green eyes. Standing at only five feet five inches and weighing one hundred and eighty eight pounds, the president of the Fenix Inc. corporation would only appear intimidating to middle school kids. And when it comes to his fashion, he generally wears a loose-fitting black suit with no tie, though he enjoys wearing tight long sleeved shirts and hakama pants as well. Other accessories include two metal wristbands and one metal belt.

    Character’s Equipment:

    -Titanium Nanotech Segmented Armor: Placed within the metal wristbands and metal belt are billions of nanobots that upon activation swarm Sakura’s entire body to become segmented titanium armor with a design similar to that of Ironmans. It reacts specifically to his telekinesis abilities. It also has the ability to reflect light, turning him invisible. (Think Spiderman’s suit in ‘Spiderman Unlimited’.)

    -Metal wristbands: Besides holding the nanobots, the wristbands can change shapes with the help of the nanobots.

    -General Accessories: Cellphone and cigarettes.

    Character’s Personality: Sakura is a villain to the core with the usual intelligence and wit that comes along with most powerful archetypes. In his case, however, he’s as much of an actor as he is a villain and has a skill with playing with words and emotions. Though most would accuse him of being a typical tyrant, he’s a very unorthodox devil of sorts. Many assume to know his goals, yet very few if any know what they actually are. His uncanny ability to stay calm at all times makes him unpredictable.

    Character’s Skills & Abilities:

    -Hand to Hand and Weapon Skills: Wing Chun, Sambo, and Pencak Silat (knife fighting).

    -Gravitational and Momentum Manipulation: Sakura’s abilities are unique among people like himself as they don’t really involve moving objects with his mind (e.g. telekinesis), but manipulating the momentum or kinetic force of moving objects. This includes a creating a gravitational field around body two feet in diameter and being able to alter the weight of any object inside of it.

    Furthermore, he can manipulate his own kinetic energy, such as throwing a punch and altering the path the kinetic energy takes from his fist. Not only that, but he can increase the strength of the momentum as it exits his gravitational field so that he could throw a punch and it wouldn’t lose any momentum.

    Short Bio: ‘Sakura’ was created in a test tube through a scientific corporation who acted as a business to sell anyone and everyone new types of humans or humanoids. In this case, he was created and sold to a Japanese yakuza boss who was growing in power and was at an age where he could not produce any sons, so an enhanced humanoid would be the next best thing.

    For the next sixteen years, the entire mob family raised Sakura to perfection; the best education, the best martial art teachers, and the best philosophies. At that point, you might assume something would go terribly wrong, but that’s the problem. It didn’t go wrong, it was perfect—too perfect. Their stepson absorbed everything so well there was great doubt in the stepfather’s mind if he had done the right thing. Eventually he grew to fear his stepson so much, he forced his entire family to commit seppuku to escape what deaths would have awaited them if Sakura had taken over forcefully.

    With an entire corporation at his disposal, Sakura went to work doing everything they taught him. He even changed the name of the company to ‘Fenix Incorporated’ and was able to make it entirely legitimate. At the same time, he created his own underground that was unlike any other mob. Nor was his small empire bent on power, money, and control, even though it came with the requirements. In the thirteen years he has risen to power, he has done nothing but grow.

    At this point in time, however, he has been searching for something, yet no one knows what it is.

    Character's Name: Massimo Adalfieri

    Character's Age: 25

    Employer: Condottieri

    Faction Rank: Co-Founder and Co-Leader with Araceli Aiello.

    Character's Appearance: Massimo stands slightly taller than most common men which makes him easier to pick out from a crowd of people. His skin is soft and fair with a lightly tanned complexion. His green eyes are uncommon in his homeland, having always marked him in his own grouping. His light brown hair flows to the middle of his neck, oftentimes tied back. His nose is slightly disfigured from having been broken in battle and there is a small scar below his left eye, yet somehow neither of these detract from his regal yet deadly appearance. His body is lean yet muscular from his long periods of training deep in the Appenine Mountains. Outside of war and battle he dresses in simple tunics and hose of earthy tones, perhaps as a mental reminder to himself of his simple origins. In battle he wears a customized royal blue armor that covers his entire body, designed to allow for maximized protection while still allowing his agility to factor in battle.

    Character's Equipment:

    Weaponry - Ruggiero (Famous Spear) A reinforced titanium shaft with a hint of green that glistens in the sunlight. Seven feet in length with a well-kept point at the end which has spilt the blood of numberous men whose paths have crossed with Massimo. The tip has small barbs angled toward the opposite end of the spear, which tear through flesh and split organs upon removal from the body of an opponent.

    Armor - Men have whispered rumor that Massimo merely amasses wealth to reinforce his armor constantly. Made of a lighter steel hybrid and a deep blue in color, many battles end with his armor dented yet never once broken, nor have there been signs of physical injury beneath the armor in recent memory. The armor was specially designed for Massimo and has been formed to coordinate fluidly with each join of his body to allow maximum range of motion, while its light metal allows him to maintain adequate speed and agility.

    Character's Personality: Massimo distrusts the generousity of mankind, having experienced in his adolescence the true nature of man's kindness. He is extremely distrustful of others, only having opened his true self to one person. He fights with the hope of seeing the world change and the day arriving where mankind as a whole may be trusted once more. He fights with vigorous passion and pursues intellectual gain actively, so that he may learn from mistakes of others. He never acts hastily and is slow to anger, untrusting of even his own emotions. He always fights and acts with honor and respect, as he believes everyone should act and be treated.

    Character's Skills and Abilities: Massimo's strongest strengths, in the minds of others, reside in his physical body. His true talent and deadly skill resides within his mind: his ability to analyze terrain and utilize optimal tactics based upon the surroundings. Every object, both animate and inanimate, are calculated in his approach when entering into battle. His deep understanding of the advantages of terrain have granted him many victories when others would have considered him outmatched. This has also become translated into military tactics, which has made him a fearsome leader among the mercenaries. He holds no magical powers that he knows of, although popular belief is that he can control the weather because it always seems to rain heavily when he is in a foul temper.

    Short Bio: Born in Florence, Massimo lived a happy early childhood with his parents. When he was seven he woke one morning to find them dead in their sleep. The medical examiners declaired them to have passed peacefully in their sleep through heart failure, but everyone whispered that they were poisoned. Massimo was sent to live with his uncle in Venice and Massimo soon found himself in disagreement with the wicked ways of his uncle, who had a band of kids who pillaged and plundered at night. Every child was fed minimal scraps for their efforts, living day to day to look forward to the strip of dried meat that would be their reward for the bag of jewels. Massimo refused to take part in this and was threatened with hunger. Massimo fled late one night and never saw his uncle again.

    He sought refuge in the Appenine Mountains and learned to supply himself with the food in nature. No one know for sure the history of his next ten years but Massimo, although many attempts have been made to find out. He emerged from the Mountains with nothing but the clothes on his back and a small pack of food and then enlisted himself in the Roman Army and was placed on their waiting list. He watched for months as other youths who were better dressed passed in through and joined the ranks before him, and each passing month only disheartened him more. A year passed and the enlister he spoke to told Massimo that he was still rather low on the list, but with a bit of monetary donation that could be changed. Massimo stormed out and never again attempted to join the Roman Army.

    He lived among the common men, working hard to earn his living. Over the next few years he witnessed men killing their lovers for money, killing their families for money, and saw people whose greed and cruelty even surpassed his uncle's. Tired of working in a society where the rich man continued to sap the earnings of others through taxes and laws while the middle and lower class plunder and murder to move themselves higher into the heirarchy, Massimo abandoned his work and humble home and traveled to Rome.

    [Remaining history will be filled in shortly, as I need to coordinate a few things with Hyz about how our characters met and came to found the faction. Fear not, it will be added!]

    Name: Araceli Aiello
    Age: 25
    Employer: Condottieri
    Faction Rank: Co-Leader and founder along with Massimo Adelfieri.
    Appearance: A tall woman, at just over six foot, she has long and toned legs. She is of average weight, slim and slender. With a similarly average bust size. A mass of shiny, wavy, mahogany hair hangs just below her shoulders like a waterfall. Parted off-centre, the fringe side of which is swept neatly behind her ear revealing her right eye. From forehead to chin her face is pituresque, her features in perfect proportion. And her deep, captivating brown eyes are no exception. This beauty is complimented well by her silky, olive skin.

    Over her body she wears a tight fitting, specially engineered exoskeleton. This white and blue 'exoshield' provides some protection against magical energy. This suit stimulates muscles allowing the wearer to run faster, jump higher and for longer periods of time. This suit also has a matching helmet, this helmet has a singlar 'light' for an eye. This allows her to see out but none to see inside. The helm is tight fitting and comes off in two parts, moulding together when put on. It also distorts her voice giving it a 'metallic' rasp. Outside of battle though; this exoskeleton is almost never removed (caused by a justified fear of her magical ability). Instead she wears a long, black, leather trenchcoat. This is to simply hide her unique suit from the world, as well as her identity.
    Equipment: Her unique suit. The suit allows absolute protection from her own magical energy, and some much needed protection against others.
    Twin sai, these are held magnetically to the suit; at the base of her spine.
    Personality: A quiet and intellegent woman. Araceli is probably the bluntest person anyone has ever met. She believes that to sugarcoat or lie is as much a bad thing as any. She commands honesty from those who know her. With this she states to people who are new to her 'don't lie. I won't like it.' Her life has been dedicated to the persuit of knowledge giving her a profound gift of the gab. Her eloquence, though she hardly speaks, is well known to all who have heard of her.
    Skills and Abilities: Araceli's main, visible strength is her agility and speed. Though her power actually resides in her uncanny abilities in fire magic. She is able to form protective shields as well as offensive magics. This makes her a valuable ally on the battlefield. Her strong will, clear thinking and impressive IQ also makes her the perfect leader. Though relatively taciturn, her input into battlefield situations are valued amongst her collegues and friends. However, her weakness lies in strength and power. Physically she is well toned, though not muscular. This makes her speed and long ranged attacks crucial in combat if she is to avoid damage.
    She also has training, mainly defencively, in the usage of sai daggers.
    Bio: Born in Naples, Italy. Araceli was an only child to a single parent. Her mother had died in childbirth leaving her father with the uphill challenge of raising their daughter. He managed, however. Even to the point of scraping together the funds to send her to University. Whilst there she studied Magicites. Wholly interested in the usage of magics. She also became skilled with technology, though she studied this in her own time. Through all this, Araceli lived a fairly normal, if not slightly more enlightened life. It wasnt until she reached the age of 21 that her outlook of the world took a drastic turn. Her father was murdered whilst being mugged.

    Devestated, having lost the only family she had, the young woman turned her academic efforts towards Magic. Taking on a vendetta against crime in society; she relentlessly hunted those who had caused her fathers demise. The downfall of this came when she found herself alone outiside doors of a 'gentlemans club'. Whilst there she questioned the doormen relentlessly, even as they told her to leave. Ignoring their warnings lead to a near-death experiance for Araceli. She found herself waking in a hospital bed, bound head to toe in bandages. Her left arm, she was told, had been completely crushed and therefor the doctors were unable to save it.

    A downward spiral of depression set in as she lay there, day after day. Her nurse told Araceli of a young man that had brought her in, almost certainly saving her life. This man eventually came to see her. Aracelis eyes were too bruised for her to clearly see her saviour but she said her thanks, anyway. When he asked her what had happened she saw, even with her limited vision, his eyebrows raise. The two became friends quickly, swapping storys about the corruption of the world. What they had seen, what they could do and even what they aimed to achieve.

    After a few months inside the hospital, Araceli was offered an unusual option to solve the problem of her missing limb. A rare and complicated procedure would allow her a 'cyberanimated' replacement arm. She reluctantly agreed. She realised that the dangers involved were justified by the possible outcome. The operation was a huge success. She had a stronger, faster and more manouverable arm than she could have ever dreamed of. All healed with a new arm and lease on life she spoke again to her friend. He now introduced himself as Massimo Adalfieri. Looking him, at last, clearly in the eye she asked him if he might help her. He agreed and they became the ‘Condottieri.’

    Not long after this Araceli heard (from one of her old professors) about the new descoveries in Magicites research. He told her of an experiment he had tried, and asked her oppinion. According to his studies he could harness the energy and concentrate it. Finding this intreguing she went down to take a look. The experiment was a catasrophy. The lab exploded in an inferno, taking Araceli and the professor with it. However, they didn't die. Instead they took on magical properties, becoming skilled in the use of fire magic. Another blessing on Araceli. The only problem with this came when the professor stretched beyond his boundries. He had tried a more powerful, complex spell. This spell engulfed him. The professor had become a pile of ash and dust and was blown away with the wind.

    Araceli's great, technological mind worked for near on a year. Pondering a solution to this problem she experimented with her magic, trying to fuse it with materials. Hopefully this would lead to her creating an armour capable of withstanding the power within her and even, perhaps, hone it into a fine art and skill. This, was successful. She created the 'exoshield' a finely crafted, tight fitting exoskeleton which sat perfectly on her figure. It acted like a robotic external muscle giving her added speed and agility. Whilst with the added feature of magical resistance. Finally, she would be of use to the Condottieri. Where she had limited physical attack and strength, she now has magic and agility. A perfect complement to her partner, Massimos power.

    Character’s Name: Sashiramee- pronounced (Za-zai-ra-me)

    Character’s Age: 278

    Employer: Fenix Inc

    Faction Rank: Fenix assassin/ Sensitive and special Intel operative.

    Character’s Appearance: Sashiramee or more commonly known as Zai, At first glance most people would classify Zai as a lizard with human form or dinosaur but Zai is neither of these, although Zai’s appearance shares the same qualities as a reptile he does not share any ancestry with either modern day reptiles or ancient dinosaurs but is a species belonging to another planet. Zai stands on two feet approximately 8 ft tall well over 10 if he extends his neck and legs to its full reach the way Zai stands while at ease when his legs are folded and neck bent in casual state allows him to conceal his true height and stature. Zai is exceptionally well built, he has a very muscular physique with very little to no body fat, Zai’s body weight is hard to determine due to one of his extraordinary skills but in normal form he would weigh about 400kg about 650 pounds. His muscle and skeletal structure is very different to those of the human or typical reptilian, the two biggest differences are his legs which have the similar hip, knee and ankle joints but the foot does not continue straight from the ankle instead another length of bone extends from the ankle which then extends to a talon like foot via another ankle, fully extended his legs would outreach the length of his torso and half of the neck, the other difference is his abdominal muscle structure it is similar to a humans but the abdominal muscles exceeds that of most species on earth due to his lifestyle on his planet. To picture his head you would have to imagine the head of a lizard cross with that of a eagle his mouth is the vicious curved beak of a eagle with slightly jagged edges that merge into that of a lizard or dinosaur,he has three scythe like blades that protrude from his head that start at his forehead and run down his neck, his neck is a long snake like neck about 1 and a half to 2 feet long. His chest and arms are heavily muscled and humanoid in shape and form. His arms are normal like a humans as well as his hands but he has inch long sharp claws on the end of his fingers. Amongst the scythe razor blades that cover his body Zai has three on each shoulder, three on each forearm aligned in line two on each knee and one each on his ankle as well as an assortment of them on his tail, each blade is slanted backwards at a sharp angle to each corresponding appendage they are attached to as for his knees, shoulders they slant upwards and the ones on his head slant forwards but those on his ankle point down and each one holds a sharp edge far keener than those that any natural metal or man made metal on earth can hold. He has a long reptilian tail and the end is covered in scythes. His feet are massive dinosaur like taloned feet that are over proportioned to his body that suits his home planet. Zai’s skin is a mottled dark to light greenish yellow soft scale like normal reptilian skin although some parts of his body are made up of an armour like silvery, harlequin metal like substance much like earth metal but of a much greater strength, durability and flexibility that seems to be part of his flesh.

    Character’s Equipment: Zai has no need to carry any weapons or equipment but the natural ones of his species being the razor sharp scythe blades that protrude from his body, they are made of the same metal like substance of his scale armour and do not go blunt but hold the edge. Apart from his scythes he uses his sheer strength, his amazingly strong talon feet and his crushing jaw to eliminate his enemies.

    Character’s Personality: Zai is not fully familiar with this worlds people or traits therefore he is very introverted and quiet as he does not know much of their language, he is ruthless with his job and does not take pity and gives no mercy to his victims. Although his species is a very docile and peaceful race due to the differences of Zai’s beliefs and those of his clan he was made an outcast and therefore he now knows hatred and anger although he holds no vengeance against his clan. He goes about doing his masters requests and bidding with clarity and a deadly calm. Although Zai looks like a walking weapon as was stated before his race is a peaceful one and uses his blades for cutting and chopping the wood and bark of his species diet, Zai and his species are predominately herbivores but on the odd occasion that they catch a animal or on festive occasions they will eat meat although it makes up very little of their diet.

    Character’s Skills & Abilities:

    The strange metal like substance that acts as armour on Zai is an extraordinary mineral, although it co exists un-parasitically with his skin and muscles it has a very unique ability that is not an entity of its own but is controlled by a second cerebellum that is at the centre of his body. Both his brain and the second cerebellum share neurological paths and cerebellum B is predominately controlled by his brain but it can also function separately from his brain, now the ‘cere’ B controls the viscous metal in a very extraordinary way not only can the metal cover different and all parts of Zai’s body but it can also change and manipulate its molecular density via strong amplified signals that ‘cere’ B sends to the substance. The metal can cover Zai’s body and with its ability can change its molecular structure and/or density which in turn changes any part of Zai’s body that it occupies at the time which can allow him to materialize through solid structures or become a very heavy inert weight resisting any opposite forces kinetic or otherwise that meet his body. As well as changing density it can also manipulate shape and form or structure allowing Zai to ‘morph’ to put it simple terms into other forms for example it can take a humanoid form for the relative ease of the inhabitants and structures of the planet. The substance can alter the path of light that surrounds it by increasing or decreasing the density of itself it can also bend or absorb direct light around it which can create a camouflage to the benefit of Zai.
    Although ‘cere’ B controls the metal it doesn’t comprehend the consequences of changing its density and does not control the suction that an increased mass creates to the atmosphere and gravity around it therefore Zai intervenes on such occasions and he can even alter this unfortunate side effect to his advantage. Zai also has to be mindful of what forms he takes for him to take an ultra small form the metal would have to increase its density ten fold to decrease Zai’s size and of course the massive amount of gravity he would pull could cause a ‘black hole’ so to speak if the force was too great. As well as bending and absorbing light it can control what spectrums of light it can absorb/bend therefore changing colour and avoiding heat detecting mechanisms as well as bending or absorbing gamma rays, uv, x-rays, micro waves etc, each skill having its own advantage. Zai doesn’t need to assume his human form very often and just tends to use his camouflage when in public but in the case that he does he doesn’t have one particular human form he prefers so to describe what he looks like in human form would be a waste of time and when in his masters presence he just assumes his native form.


    Short Bio: His home world is covered in gigantic tree’s several times the height and girth of some of earths largest giants, some of the smallest trees can be a minimum of 200 to 300 meters in girth and kilometres high, 90% of his species clans live in the vast forests and feats on the bark and wood of the trees and makes up their diet apart from the odd bird like or tree dwelling creature that resides on their planet. The other 10% live on the very little land that exists and therefore have adapted to hunt the creatures that roam the plains hence the camouflage, Zai was a different case one of his parents was a part of the terra clan the clans that live on the land and the other parent from the planate clan the tree dwellers therefore he has gained both abilities of the two different clans. Both clans boast the metallic like substance but the terra use the camouflage aspect to hunt their prey or change their form whereas the planate clan can change their molecular structure to navigate through the dense forests of giant trunks and branches and to cope with this Zai was born with a second brain (cere B) to cope with both skills. Unfortunately this became a unwelcome ability in both clans so he was shunned and exiled by both clans which meant he could neither hunt on the land nor the trees for risk of being killed in battle by the males of the other clans this took a severe toll on Zai unable to feed he gradually weakened and started to die which he would have unless ’cere’ B didn’t take over. Wanting to preserve its life cere B increased its density so much and in turn enveloped itself in the suction of gravity that it created also creating a black hole which decreased Zai’s molecules but amazingly due to his extraordinary ability cere B was able to maintain and balance the molecules of Zai to re-emerge and reform, although Zai’s molecules should have been broken down to obliteration cere B maintains a un believable electromagnetic link with each and every one of the molecules enabling it to stabilize each one and then re-connect them when conditions are correct. Therefore Zai ended in earths atmosphere and due to Fenix corporations quest and current mission with the help of its financial status as well as its sheer intimidation it was the first company to the site of Zai’s re-appearance on the earth crust and quickly acquired Zai’s body even though Zai was unconscious for several months cere B maintained a strong coverage over his body as protection this is where cere B’ s independence is handy because despite the status of Zai’s brain and body cere B can take over in times of emergency. Fenix kept a vigilante watch on Zai unable to conduct experiments on Zai unable to penetrate the foreign substance Fenix kept Zai in a top secret lab and as each Predecessor failed in the attempt to uncover his secrets the successor would continue in vain until after several years under Fenix watch Sakura took the reins of Fenix and learned the secret of Zai’s existence. Cere B finally released its protective hold over Zai. At first Zai unleashed hell on the unsuspecting laboratory slaughtering all that was within range bodies amassed the floor and blood was spilt and thrown to every inch of the room Cere B could not control the sheer animalistic terror and frenzy of Zai and no human was any match for Zai inhuman speed and strength bullets shattered against cere B protection, electricity was dispelled, nothing was going to stop Zai’s destruction until Sakura arrived and calmly using his unique nanotech armour and his abilities matched and managed to subdue Zai enough for cere B to over come Zai’s frenzy. Zai now was mastered and trained by Sakura and only Sakura to the point where any surviving members of the research team were killed to protect Zai’s existence and identity. Very few know of his existence and trained by Sakura with his species ability for higher learning has learned and adapted to life on earth to a extraordinary sense.

    Character’s Name: Adam Morrison
    Character’s Age: 34
    Employer: self employed- TBA
    Faction Rank: Leader

    Character’s Appearance: Adam stands approximately five-foot-eight with an athletic, muscular build. His arms are riddled with both scars and tattoos, most notably, a US flag tattooed on his right bicep, and a Celtic cross with pairs of initials at each branch on his left shoulder blade. His eyes have been described as both a very intense brown and a lifeless gray. This dispute has gone on only because Adam prefers to keep mirrored aviator sunglasses on at virtually all times, except while on a mission. Otherwise, Adam is oft clean shaven or sporting a five o'clock shadow, and keeps his dark brown hair closely cropped.



    Character’s Equipment:

    - Adam tends to only live with the essentials when it comes to his own gear. He prefers functionality above all. His outfits vary from mission to mission, but follow a very basic outline: Some form of camouflaged military grade pants, a form of temperature regulated shirt (either shedding or storing body heat) and a "dragon skin" vest, comprised of kevlar and hundreds of overlapping ceramic plates. Steel toed black work boots, or black tactical boots are worn at all times.

    In battle, Adam prefers hand to hand and knife combat. In fact, he carries three knives with him at all times, all with sentimental meaning.

    World War II era- Ka-Bar knife. 7" of black steel, with a leather handle. Stored in a sheath attached to dragon skin vest. Sheath is placed lengthwise across the back of Adam's belt when the vest is not worn.

    Vietnam Era "Buck" knife. 7" of stainless steel, with an aluminum and black plastic handle. Resembles a miniature cutlass sword. Stored in boot sheath.

    Last ditch "gauntlet" knife. Stored in a black wristband on Adam's left arm. It is a small blade with a finger loop for a handle, used in extremely dire circumstances.

    Adam also carries with him a Remington 700 rifle, with telescopic lens. The rifle is used mostly as a means of scouting from a distance, but is also equipped with live rounds, and rounds infused with ground leaves and roots, causing various status affects, such as sleep, amnesia and even a complete loss of motor skills.



    Character’s Personality: Adam is a competitor, through and through. If you claim you're the best at something, he'll only try to prove you otherwise. If you can indeed best him, you'll have his respect. Adam is not entirely a gentle soul, nor is he completely cold. He trusts people to an extent, with the exception of his own crew, but keeps strangers at a distance until they prove themselves. Other than that, Adam is a fiercely loyal leader, always looking out for the best interests of him and his squad, regardless of how off putting his actions and words may seem at the time.


    Character’s Skills & Abilities:

    -Hand to Hand combat. Loosely based knowledge of Jiu Jitsu and boot camp. Extensive hand to hand combat experience from US- Canada War in 2013. Has also been known to relentlessly pummel enemies in combat with zero regard for his own well-being, in a form of beserker rage. It can be controlled, but every now and then, Adam blacks out in a fight and has no recollection of putting others in hospitals... or in the ground.

    Knife combat: Extensive knife training from both grandfather and uncle, combat instructors from World War II and Vietnam War, respectively.

    Rural/ backwoods/ combat medicine: Quite knowledgeable in holistic and natural remedies for common ailments, and able to treat wounds and perform basic life saving emergency medical procedures. (ie, treating a gunshot, laceration, setting broken bones, making splints, etc)

    Short Bio: Adam Morrison was your everyman, working in a chop shop in the hills of upstate New York when the Canadians began their offensive against America in 2011. Being a simple man of family values, he decided to follow in the footsteps of his relatives, and take up the gun. Now, with the war won, and his country largely in ruins, he needs to take matters into his own hands to ensure financial stability for his mother and ailing father.

    Character’s Name: Amadeus Spectre
    Character’s Age: 35
    Employer: TBA
    Faction Rank: Ambiguous
    Character’s Appearance: Stands at 6'5", though his purple top hat makes him appear taller still. Long, brown hair falls down around his gaunt, angular, pale face. A neatly trimmed goatee rests on his chin. He also wears: a red cloak with a tall collar around the neck; a black business suit with a similar colored shirt and red tie; white gloves; black boots.
    Character’s Equipment: His purple top hat contains a pocket dimention, from which he frequently pulls whatever he desires at the moment. A black metal cane is often pulled from the hat, and doubles as both a melee weapon and a flame thrower.
    Character’s Personality: Amadeus's actions are generally perplexing, though often strangely beneficial to his “allies;” those he may be hanging around at the time. He rarely acts with malicious intent, and is generally an agreeable fellow, though he may be apt to bizarre or alarming outbursts, triggered by who knows what. He may happily praise you one moment, and then unfairly criticize you the next.
    Character’s Skills & Abilities: Magic: Can pull miniature stars into existence, which orbit around him until they are shot into his enemy or obstacle; has the ability to levitate a short distance off the ground, and for a short period of time, fly; seems to have an at least 50% chance of pulling out the item of his desire from his hat (although it must be something that belongs to him.); can make his cane shoot flames.
    Cane fencing: A skilled fencer... with canes, umbrellas, or metal polls.
    Familiars: A super intelligent, occasionally bipedal fox named Fox. Frequently pulls him out of his hat and orders him to gather information, and occasionally to scout the area for him. It is unclear of whether the Fox enjoys its roll or even likes Amadeus, or how it came to be. The Fox gathers his information via a laptop, with some struggles due to having paws instead of hands. Amadeus is often impatient with him because of this, and the Fox responds to this impatience with a roll of the eyes.
    Short Bio: No one knows the past life of Amadeus Spectre except for him and his Fox, and he refuses to tell, and the Fox can't speak. He seems to have simply come into being one day.

    I hope it is okay to have the Fox familiar. If not, I will remove him. Anyhoo...

    Character's Name: Calderon
    Character's Age: 27
    Employer: Condottieri
    Faction Rank: [to be determined]

    Character's Appearance: Calderon is a man of average height with a lean build and no truly distinguishing features. He blends in almost anywhere he goes. He's clean-shaven, with unkempt brown hair and storm-gray eyes. Though pale-skinned, he doesn't sunburn easily; he never really tans either, to his own dismay.

    Calderon prefers a simple, functional style of dress that varies depending on the assignment and the region of the world he's currently operating in. He does favor knee-length coats and custom boots.

    Character's Equipment:

    Calderon favors guns and is never without his favored revolver, which he meticulously maintains. He also carries a very plain, basic dagger and of course an old-fashioned boot knife, hence the need for his custom boots, complete with integrated knife sheath.

    A slim, state-of-the-art bulletproof vest is his only real armor, often concealed beneath his shirt.

    He always wears a black gauntlet on his left arm that has limited but effective offensive and defensive capabilities. Some rumors say he lost his real arm somehow, but only Calderon and one other person are privy to the truth behind the gauntlet. It does tend to be a major gossiping point for both his allies and enemies, much to his own amusement.

    Character's Personality:

    Calderon is very laid back and easy to get along with most of the time. The freedom of choice is very important to him; as such he often takes jobs on his own. He has a very strict moral code which he adheres to unerringly, and gods help any man who does not share his code. That said, he's certainly not above violence and anyone who underestimates his capacity in that regard will quickly find otherwise. He can be brutal when he deems it necessary, though he doesn't enjoy the practice.

    Character's Skills and Abilities:

    Calderon's main strengths lie in his resourceful nature and his uncanny ability to show up just when he's needed most, though rarely does he make a show of it. Most people don't even know he has a talent with magic since he never displays it openly. His magic is something of a wildcard in that it changes based on his environment and physical/mental state. It's entirely a subconscious ability. He can influence it somewhat based on his needs, but never has he been able to directly control this power.

    Short Bio:

    Calderon grew up in a dismal, broken environment. At an early age he left his home to pursue a better future for himself and began wandering the world, taking on jobs and doing whatever he had to in order to get by. At some point in the past he ran across Massimo and helped him out. They became friends, though Calderon eventually lost contact. Years later, Massimo tracked Calderon down and offered him a place in the newly-created mercenary faction, Condittieri.

    Though he never talks about it, he's done some very dark things in his past. Occasionally they come back to haunt him.

    Character’s Name: Nuage Conflits

    Character’s Age: 24

    Employer: Fenix Inc.

    Faction Rank: Pending

    Character’s Appearance: Nuage is 5'9 with a slim but stocky build. His hair is long, blonde and spike's in irregular patterns. His eyes are the bluest you have ever seen and very tempting. Weighing only One Hundred and Eighty pounds, he is fast and agile. His fashion statement would consist of Black tight fitting pants with combat boots, a black tank top with a breast plate with one shoulder pad on the right arm. Nuage also wears two titanium gauntlets and a thick leather belt with titanium studs around it. Black gloves are fitted into the gauntlets. Titanium knee pads are also included in his fashion although he only wears them in a fighting situation. Nuage is also equipped with a broadsword made from an unknown metal taken from a meteor, the metal is by far the toughest and most durable ever found.

    Character’s Equipment:

    Titanium Gauntlets- Nuage's titanium gauntlets are designed and built to withstand any physical attack. They are also equipped with the latest breakthrough in magical defense technology and can resist most magical attacks. There design also includes symbols that call upon certain magical attacks when the words are uttered.

    Breast plate: Nuage's breast plate is made of titanium. Attached to the breast plate it a single titanium shoulder pad that covers his right shoulder and extends to cover his entire right arm when activated. The extended titanium arm can be used for blocking physical blows and absorption of some magic. It also enhances the strength in his right arm by 500% allowing him to break through any obstacle that he may come across. The breast plate itself can withstand any physical blow, protecting his vital organs. The breast plate can also absorb some magic.
    Titanium Knee pads. These are regular titanium knee pads used for the protection of his knees in combat. They can also be activated to extend to the ankle to protect the shin also.

    Broadsword: Nuage's Broadsword is made from a fallen meteor that contained an unknown metal that is more durable and by far tougher than any other metal ever found or created. Nuage’s constructed the 5 foot long sword himself and spent 4 years doing so. The broadsword is light to be made from a metal so strong and can be swung and thrusted with ease. Allowing Nuage to swing, block and parry any attack coming his way with accuracy and precision. The Metal also contains a type of magic that is unknown and relenting to let Nuage tap into its power.

    Character’s Personality: Nuage Conflits is the type of person that can take control of any situation. His mind is one of his most powerful traits. Quick thinking and his natural ability to make people feel the way he wants them to feel has gotten him out of tricky situations. He is also the kind of person that can make you believe anything. He can twist what you know into something you’re not sure about and break you apart from there. Exposing weakness in others is another skill that he has become very good at. Nuage is also a very loyal and faithful to anyone he serves. If you are looking for a dependable right hand man. Look no further. Following out his orders in honorable fashion, he will make sure the job is finished and finished right. If you are his enemy on the other hand. Look out for the rude awakening of death. For it comes on swift and silent wings along with Nuage Conflits.

    Character’s Skills & Abilities:

    Hand to Hand and Weapon Skills: Extensive training in the military along with years of many martial arts branches. He is highly skilled in a broad spectrum from Crane to Golden dragon techniques. Nuage’s is also by far the best fighter with a broadsword, Training since the age of 5 he has never went a day without trying to enhance his movement and agility with a sword.

    Magic: Nuage is not as highly skilled in this field for it was only recently discovered. Yet he tries to improve his skills with fire, ice and earth manipulation. He will study other magical skills when these are mastered.

    Short Bio: Nuage Conflits was born on California (US). His parents were murdered by the Russian Mafia when he was a mere 3 years old. The Russians had murdered his parents for parking their car on the wrong side of the street. Adopted by a Marines general and raised on base in Pendleton California, he started training in military tactics and martial arts at the age of 4. Broadsword sparring was also taken up as a hobby until he found he was quite skilled. Then it became a passion. Constantly testing himself trying to learn new fighting techniques, he became a black belt at age 7 in every field of martial arts. At age 9 he became a master. His broadsword training improved every day and he was soon gaining the strength to knock down even the biggest of men.

    At age 14 Nuage's skills were made use of. Through military intelligence he found his parents murderers and brought them to justice. Finding them in there homes and slaughtering them one at a time. Reminding them of the ones that they had killed that he loved so much. After the deed was finished he returned to Pendleton and resumed his training. Enhancing every skill until he was the perfect soldier.

    At age 16 his adopting father allowed him to enlist into the Marines. Yet he never used a gun he proved quite useful to his unit. On a covert mission into the heart of a drug infested city on the outer edges of Italy, He and 3 other soldier fought there way out. 600 armed Italian soldiers were killed by the 4 men. Nuage being the only to not take a single wound yet not fire a single weapon killed the bigger part of the immense unit. Once back in the states he received the Medal of Honor. Which he refused to accept, saying that he was only doing what he was made to do and nothing more.

    At age 19 Nuage was sent on a search and destroy mission into Italy. While on his mission he came across a group of men brutally raping a beating a woman. After slaying the men and helping the woman to safety she told him that she was a fortune teller and she had told one of the men in the group that he would die very soon. The man had gotten upset and he and his friends had started to beat and rape her. She then gazed into his eyes and started to cry. Nuage never found out the reason behind this for she died shortly after. Yet it still haunts his dreams to this day.

    At age 20 Nuage spent his last year in the Marines. Upon exiting the military he bought a farm and a house just outside of Pendleton. While practicing Tiger claw skills he heard a crash. After the crash the ground shook beneath him and glass fell from shelves in his house. Upon investigating the vicinity the noise had taken place he found a meteor. From this meteor he extracted the precious metal used to construct his broadsword. After four years of construction the sword was complete. In the process he also constructed a titanium breast plate with a single shoulder pad, titanium gauntlets and titanium kneepads. He also added engineered Smart censors on the equipment that would allow certain part of the armor to extend and protect his body while increasing his strength. The armor was also designed to give him full mobility allowing him to stay fast and agile while fighting.

    Re: Faction Character Database

    Character’s Name: Chance, answers to rat, you, and ears.
    Character’s Age: young, bout 16
    Employer: (he is currently LFG.
    Faction Rank: LFG
    Character’s Appearance:
    not sure what his race is really called, he just says ratfolk. that's about what it seems, he's shorter then a human at only about 2'8", and a good bit lighter. he has a ratlike appearance as said, dark grey fur, a long hairless tail, two sharp incisors, and the ears to complete the deal, he has beautiful dark green eyes.
    Character’s Equipment:
    He carries little at the moment as he has little money at the moment
    Weapon: a simple switchblade style knife, good for going armed unnoticed, not so much for actual fighting, oh and his incisors have a nasty bite to them.
    armor: lightweight durable survival gear, a vest and long shorts, in urban camo.
    Accesories: he wears on teardrop gem earring in his left ear. He didn't know this when he received it, but it has a small charm in it that protects him some of the nastier afflictions. (Weapons, armor, accessories.)
    Character’s Personality:
    energetic, optimistic, he's a nice guy to be around, the type who just seems to be able to make you see a positive when everything's negative. Loyal to his friends, he absolutely hates the expression "ratted me out" and generally hits anyone he catches using it, not forcefully but still show some courtesy. Tries to act tough, and might talk big, but you be a 2'8" rat-man and try not talking big.
    Character’s Skills & Abilities:
    He's not all that strong, or resilient, but this little guy is fast, he can dodge well enough to avoid getting hit too heavily, and he is also skilled at what has become known as parkour, or free-running (think that game called mirrors edge) a lot of running from danger has made him learn how to use every object to help him move faster, better, and in more unpredictable ways.
    Short Bio:
    Chance, well he's a not the kind of guy with a tale to tell, but...
    He lived on the streets for a while, learned to read and write at a shelter, he was lucky, he didn't end up in some of the situations he could have, he got into free-running, he was a natural, quick and nimble, his size only a bonus, he loved it.
    His favorite were the messages that needed a long run, preferably over roofs, especially after he got his camo gear as he would always sneak up on someone that he knew delivering a message.
    Now he's looking for more steady employment, being a freerunner is fun, but they pay can get downright dismal in a bad spell. So he figures in a faction he could be useful delivering messages, and as back up when needed.
    The Final Boss Theorem:
    The size of the ultimate form of the final boss is inversely proportional to it's chances of actually beating your party. If you agree with this, please copy and paste this valuable piece of info on your sig. AND, if you're evil and villainous...never settle for a big form when a smaller form is more kickass...

    From the darkest Shadows, I strike for truth!

    My TFF family so far:
    my maniacal cousin, Morik the Rogue
