Welcome to Gaia! ::

CHARACTERS:



Name: Kaori
Background/Personality: Kaori has lived in the same small town all her life. Her parents died when she was young. Because of this she has had to learn to work hard for all she has. She now lives in any shelter she can find, and eats whatever she can catch or steal. She is very skilled in weapons, especially the short sword, and always carries one with her. She has a very strong personality, doesn't mind hard work, and is most of the time respectful. She can be a bit moody sime times. She has minor powers she picked up various places from other people, as she has the ability to learn other powers, although if she doesn't practice she may lose them. They are always very weak.



Shen

Name: Shen
Age: 23-ish
Race: Merman
Personality: Tends to be a little shy on the uptake, but typically warms up to new people rather well. Shen picks up on the emotions of others rather easily and their feelings may deem his attitude toward them. If he feels hostility, he will match it or avoid that person altogether. In general, he is an amiable and gentle soul who rarely angers and as such, does not know how to best cope with that particular emotion. Shen attempts to avoid negativity whenever he can. He does have a somewhat overweening sense of curiosity, especially about things he doesn't understand.
Bio: Shen grew up in the Pacific Ocean, frequenting the coasts of China and Korea the most. He lived a rather normal life for a merman, learning his father's trade and receiving basic combat training. He recently left his home waters in search of something new and has found himself closer to the coast than ever.
Abilites: Shen can communicate telepathically if need be, but has a distinct preference not to. He has a thread of magic running through his blood that allows him to heal himself and others, though the latter can be rather taxing on him. As any mer-creature, Shen can breathe in and out of water. There is a possibility that he can transform into a more human appearance, but he hasn't quite mastered this yet.

BAD GUYS:

Name: Lynx

Species: Demon

Background: Lynx was exicuted after several hundred convictions of murder and theft at the age of 24. The trial had been rigged so that he would be exicuted without anyone having a chance to hear his defence. A life of sin condemned this man to an eternity in hell. His time in hell mutated his body somewhat as well as giving him unnatural powers. He has now been given a task by his superiors, which has allowed him to come back to the living world through a hell portal.

Personality: Athough he is now a demon in appearance Lynx has managed to retain a few strands of humanity but even so his anger at the moment of his death has turned him bitter and hate filled, yet it doesn't show in his actions or in the way he talks to others. He is honest ssome of the time but can't be trusted.

Kimari walks down the shore of the lake and watches as the sun sets in the horizon trying to remember the faces of her long lost parents. "Mother, Father, where are you? Why can i not find you?" She mumbles to herself. She decides to go for a swim to wash the dirt and grime off of her. She strips and sets her clothes on a limb and dives in the cool water.

Kimari shivers as she gets used to the water temperature hugging her arms around her bodice. "GOD this is sooo cold!" She dunks her head under the water and scrubs at her shoulder length brown hair getting the twigs and leaves out of it. After her bath she swims around for a while trying to relax and get the thought of not knowing her parents out of her head. She begins to hum a familiar tune that she remembered her mother sang to her. She could remember the tune but not the words, which irritated her.

A ripple of motion worked its way through an ocean wave as the water curled as it surged toward the shoreline. The ripple disappeared as quickly as it had come, disappearing into the blue until another wave began to form. The cause of the ripple was a rather young merman who was toying around with fate, as young merfolk were wont to do. He couldn't much help himself, the waves near the shore were just as fun to play around in as a strong ocean current. Aside from that, Shen had never ventured so close to shore, so there was a whole menagerie of new things assaulting his natural curiosity. As the wave curled over again, he followed the flow, maneuvering his way back under the water as the rest of the wave slithered onto the shore. Now that the game had been set, the merman had to push his luck, as all young men are wont to do. He swam into the new wave, pushing closer to the front of it. Shen learned rather quickly that the front of a wave is the most dangerous part, as it pushes one out of control and forces the entrapped one to bend to its will. He was forced into this very position and soon found himself deposited on the shore. This...was not good.

Kimari opens her eyes and finds that she had drifted a ways away from shore. She curses under her breath and dives under water and swims for the shore. how can i be so stupid! i could have gotten lost at sea! Kimari stops just where she could reach the bottom with her tip toes and gets her head above the water. i need to get back to the tree house soon. its almost dark

Shen laid still for a few moments, still piecing together what had happened as the shock wore off. The last thing he knew, he was tumbling head over tailfin and then the sudden impact of something hard, but not rock. The merman lifted his head and looked around him, feeling something grainy and...dry beneath his hands. He looked around, finding that he was indeed out of the water and on the shore. Shen tried to flip his body over, to get a better look at the water he could smell behind, but he couldn't. First panic told him that he was paralyzed, but he quickly realized this couldn't be the case. He could still feel his tail and move it, but everything felt heavier than before. Heavy while the air around was much too light. So was this what it was like on land? The merman could see why a previously beached whale would complain. He struggled to maneuver himself to his side, but eventually succeeded. It was there that Shen remained as he tried to think of a solution to his problem.
