Fade stumbled into the city after midnight. She could barely keep her eyes open, and had even more trouble driving the car she stole awhile ago. Of course, she left it on the side of the road, made sure there was a lot of gas in the tank, dipped a rag in gasoline, shoved it into the gas canister, and blew the vehicle up. Burying the man who owned the car took a bit of effort, but she didn't want it to be found easily. The man had eyed her creepily at a gas station, and said something lewd. She tried walking away, but he grabbed her and dragged her behind the gas station, which was a stupid idea. His life ended with many little holes in his chest and other places. Fade enjoyed the kill, smiling slightly as the light left his eyes. But, the smile was wiped away when she remembered the last couple days. She could drive the car because she did get her license before she ran away.
It took the girl some time to find a place to stay. It wasn't easy because she refused to stay at an inn, had very little money, and had blood on her clothes. Plus, she didn't want to invade any random home, with or without people. So, she went into one of the most dangerous places in the city, and waited for someone to try and steal her.
"Hey baby, you wanna have a good time?" A deep voice asked as a rough hand grabbed her arm. "Either way, I am going to give you one..."
He dragged her into an alleyway, and she didn't resist at all. He threw her into the wall and eyed her up on down. He was taken aback by her bloody shirt and the crazy smile forming on her face.
"Whoa! What the hell, girl? What have you been into?" He backed against the other side of the alleyway, fear clear in his eyes, his hands scrambled at his belt, but stopped at the crazy goth girl's next move.
Fade drew two knives and placed them at the man's throat. "Where do you live? And give me your key."
"What the hell? I am not telling you girl." He tried to gain some composure, and also tried to move to grab the girl, but she pressed the knives harder, drawing a bit of blood. "Ok, ok. Here is the key. I live a block up in apartment 2b, the address is 317. Now can I-" His words ended in a gargle, as Fade stepped away from the blood splatter. She wiped her blades on the body and dragged him farther into the garbage of the alleyway.
Five minutes latter she found herself in a messy apartment with clothes, trash, and other things all over the place. She just moved the trash aside and walked inside, locking the door behind her. She spent her first hour searching for anything useful. She found a hidden stash of 5,000 dollars, some bags of drugs, that she did not touch and left there. Surprisingly she also found a neatly kept dresser, separate from another messy one, with nice clean, black girls clothing. They were slightly larger than her, but she didn't care. That actually helped, tight fitting clothing made her more noticeable as a woman, and she would prefer to hide that at most times. "****. I wonder where this guy's girl is. I don't like to kill innocents, that often." Fade grabbed all that would be useful to her, placed most of it in her bag, and went into the bathroom. She closed and locked the door, but not before bringing in a chair to bar it shut, just in case. She threw her bloody clothes in a corner, and got in the shower, she really needed one...
...Awhile later when she starting to put cleaner clothes on, she heard a key in the door. "Hello," a feminine voice called, "Are you there baby?" There was some rustling. "Has someone been through are stuff? Is someone there?"
"Oh ****, here we go..." Fade pulled out two of her blades, carefully moving the chair away from the door, but it fell and made a loud noise.
"I hear you! I am going to kill whoever you are!" The sound of a gun being cocked could barely be heard through the door. Fade jumped in the bathtub at the last second, as bullets flew through the door like paper, causing tiles to shatter and dust to fly. The woman also shot the door knob and burst through the door. It was the last thing she ever did. Two knives stuck out of her throat, both just missing the major arteries.
Fade threw the dying woman backwards to prevent the blood from spilling on her stuff, which was stuffed in a corner of the bathroom. "Stupid whore. You shouldn't have went for the gun." The woman thrashed around on the floor as her blood leaked out, and she struggled for breath. Her lips moved as if she was trying to say something. Fade grabbed another knife and squatted above the woman. "Rest in peace. Goodnight." She stabbed the woman in the heart, to quicken the death and make the pain subside faster. Fade stared in her eyes as the woman died, feeling the life drain away. It always gave her a thrill, but felt weird and slightly wrong at the same time.
She changed her clothes again and piled anything with blood in one spot. She relocked the door, and cleaned herself off again. Fade went to sleep, with a dead woman hidden in the bathtub, locked in the bedroom, and all of her stuff close by. She didn't want to get caught, but didn't mind too much at the same time, and wasn't worried that she would be found.

Signature Name: Alexandra Nickname: Fade Age: 17 Gender: Female Rank: Beginner Appearance:Height: 5'2'' Weight: light Usually has a faraway look in her eyes, but they have a twisted bloodthirsty look at almost all other times.  History: Alexandra was born with two abilities, Necrokinesis and Astrakinesis, but didn't know she had the latter ability until her teen years. She had a torturous childhood in her small town. She was always a small girl that kept to herself and was sheltered from other children for most of her life. Plus, she didn't know how to react around others too well. At around the age of 5, when her first cat died, she realized something about herself. Alexandra was overwrought with guilt at her only true friend at that age, she had no human friends and her family just ignored her. Her parents wanted to just throw the cat away, they didn't care about their daughter's feelings. After hearing them discuss the outcome of her favorite kitty, Alexandra grabbed the corpse and ran away into the forest behind her house. She ran for about an hour or so before falling to the ground from exhaustion. After catching her breath, Alexandra pulled her cat onto her lap and hugged it close, tears formed in her eyes. She stayed in that position for hours focusing on her cat and wishing that she was still alive... After her eyes could cry no more, she felt something in her arms move. Her cat moved. Somehow she brought her back to life. Alexandra was afraid of her parents finding out, so she left the cat in the woods and told it to stay there, but to remain hidden. She went home, and her absence wasn't even noticed. After that day, at night when her parents went to bed, Alexandra went out to visit her undead kitty, and played with it, even though it slowly decayed and became weaker. When Alexandra went to school, she was constantly picked on by her peers, who did not understand her and her..."dark" personality. She quickly learned to always be quiet and to slip away from the other kids when ever possible. She became so good at disappearing, that the other kids started to wonder if she just faded in and out of existence, and so her nickname of "Fade" was created. She was tortured for years by her ignorant and cruel parents, and the cruel heartless children. The only thing that kept Alexandra going was her kitty, that did everything she asked of it, if it could. But, her cat was slowly decaying, and one day, it broke one of its legs and no longer could move very well. Alexandra thought it was fine and wanted to just keep visiting it, even though it was hurt, but she started to feel that the cat wanted to rest. The cat may be a zombie, but it was tired and wanted to return to the earth. Slowly, Fade understood the wishes of her dearest friend, and let her go, but not without pain and tears. Several days later, she started to practice bringing other animals to life, and slowly but surely she became skilled at bringing things to life. She played with each of her undead pets, but she let them rest only after a couple weeks. Years went by, but her social life didn't improve at all. Her distrust for humans grew and grew. Also, she slowly began to notice that she had another ability besides just controlling the dead. Fade found out that she could see into a different world. At first she thought she was going insane, but eventually came to terms with the truth of this other place. She has very little experience with dealing with the astral plane, but is trying to learn this skill just like the other. After Alexandra's sixteenth birthday, her parents started to crack down on her even more. They wouldn't let her go out to visit her little friends. They locked her up because the wanted to "protect" her and keep her from doing certain "things" with boys. Fade didn't understand why her parents would do that, and didn't have any interest in the boys she knew. Eventually, the control went too far. She yelled at her parents that she wanted to be free, but they refused to bend at all. They walked away, thinking they won, but ended up with a steak knife in each of their backs. Fade moved quickly and quietly, killing both of them at once. She ran away afterwards and has been wandering the country side since. Inventory Several razor sharp knives, including a large butcher knife. A whet stone to sharpen Fade's "tools". A collapsible shovel. A pack with various supplies, including a heretical book about a chaos god, another one about Cthulhu, a blood soaked wooden bowl, several shrunken heads, various body parts in jars, and a stuffed, cute and cuddly teddy bear. Abilities: Necrokinesis- Necrokinesis is the ability to manipulate the dead. Necrokinetics are very rare and must be born with the ability. They are often regarded as insane because of the fact that they spend a lot of their time gathering bodies which they can summon to their aid and manipulate like puppets. Any abilities that the dead had when they were alive are able to be used by the necrokinetics as long as the body is intact. They cannot instantly kill people as some believe but only manipulate corpses after they are dead. This ability requires a very special kind of focus that most people avoid at all costs. Astrakinesis- This ability is gained form birth but is not usually revealed until after another path ability is learned. Astrakinetics have the ability to manipulate the astral plane. The astral plane is a plane that overlaps the physical plane and has its own laws of physics separate from our own. Astrakinetics have the ability to travel back and forth through the two planes to travel massive distances in a very short amount of time appearing to "teleport" though they are in fact moving on a separate plane. They also have the ability to create dimensional portal between the planes which can allow other objects or people to travel on the other plane. The astral plane is blocked directly around humans preventing anything form appearing closer than a few inches to them. Small short distance portals can be created with little effort or focus, where traveling as a person back and forth causes a lot of physical strain and energy drain. it is also believed that masters over the astral plane can enter the minds of others through the astral plane though it leaves their unconscious body behind as well as opening the astrakinetic to the imagination and will of the mind they enter.

Fade woke up early in the morning, not yet fully rested. She didn't have time to waste though. She had to destroy the evidence and fast. Quickly, she gathered the body and the bloody clothing all into a pile. Then she doused the pile and a lot of the apartment in alcohol that was just lying around. She pocketed a couple lighters from the dead couple, and lit up the place as she walked out with all of her old and new belongings, minus the clothes in the fire. She threw the key into the flames, and walked out the door, ready to wander this new city and stir up all sorts of mischief just trying to survive, and to find herself. She found herself flipping a butterfly knife around her hand again, just enjoying the relaxing and distracting movements of the knife.

As Fade walked out the door a body landed in front of her lying on the ground unconscious. The body was Teran Reuna though he looked like he had seen much better days... His entire body was blackened by ash like it had been partially burned and caked with blood. He had several thick burned and bleeding lines running along his torso, neck, spine, and shoulders which cut straight through his thick leather armor showing the blackened skin. His hands were covered in blood and his muscles looked limp and worn. A pool of thick blood was forming under him fast. But perhaps the most odd thing about the grusome seen was the fact that man was smiling like a child who just went to the toy store though that just made the rest of him look even worse. He was also still clutching a sword that Fade had never seen before, it was black and had runes lining the blade looking almost like flames.
Had he told her then and there that he had just fought one of the most powerful demons in the astral plane the girl would have laughed, but then looking at his torn form it didn't look so far off...

Signature Name: Teran Reuna Nickname: The Planeswalker Age: 21(71) Gender: Male Height: 5'8 Weight: 300lbs Rank: Master Appearance:

Background Teran was raised very differently compared to normal children. Where most kids went to a public school and learned math and history, Teran was taught at home by his father how to forge metal and create intricate designs and shapes using different alloys. He had always though that this was due to him being born with an arm made of metal spike making him stand out too much in public, he didn't realize at the time that his father was more like him than he knew. As he grew older and learned more about making weapons his father began to teach him how to use them in combat. He enjoyed several years of non stop sparring with his father until he turned. But that wasn't all his father had been teaching him, he also learned all the things he would need in life such as math, physics, chemistry, English, and history. And as he grew older he learned more and more advanced thing like theoretical physics, quantum physics, chemical properties, and much more. Having always grown up learning from his father he never questioned how his father knew all these things seemingly form memory... Then one day when he was around the age of sixteen his father completely changed subjects and began teaching him about the mind and how thoughts and energy flow together. It was like nothing Teran had ever heard before and when he asked his father where he learned all of it he replied with "I'll show you"...
That was the day everything he knew about the physical world changed, the day he became a planeswalker like his father. They spent what would have seemed like twenty years together on the pantheon of existence traveling while his father taught him everything he knew about the astral plane. In those many years together Teran matured and grew wise though in the physical world only hours went by. In reality his actual age is more like sixty or seventy, a small number compared to his father who was several hundred years old. But eventually his father grew old physically and died on the physical plane. Teran was sad at first but soon passed on knowing that he and his father had had more time together than most people and shared a bond stronger than life or death...
From then on Teran lived on his own traveling much more on the astral plane than on the physical plane learning as his father had and surviving in the harsh merciless world of imagination and thought. When people did see him they saw a young man only in his twenties who was always focused on something, always planing something though they never found out what until he had done it. He was very quiet and reserved now keeping to him self protecting what he though needed to be protected and destroying what he wanted gone. His urges seamed random and he became a sort of puzzle that the world had to solve but no one has as of yet... Views Since he was a boy Teran had viewed guns as a cowards weapon, a weapon that require only a finger to pull the trigger. A weapon that needed no skill but to aim and shoot from a distance far away from your target. Even a bow requires the strength to pull back the string and the accuracy to measure the arc of the arrow, but not a gun... Teran had believed this from the moment he had laid his hands on his first blade as a young child learning under his father. To use a blade was to face one's opponent face to face and have the decency to watch them die like a man. If someone was going to kill someone they had better be strong enough to look them in the face as watch as the light leaves their eyes or they were just tearing their life apart with no meaning. But a blade requires skill and determination and time in order to master the art. Teran is a weapons master and a good one at that, one that will only use a gun in the worst of all cases and even then it would be a pistol at close range. Inventory Twin Slender Scimitars, Multiple Throwing Blades, 100yds Steel Wire, Leather Trench-coat, Lightly Plated Armour, Various steel spikes, Black Leather Gloves, 8GB MP3 Player, Notebook, and Mechanical Pencils...
Tan'ari Blade Two Handed Longsword This weapon is made of a unique black metal which usually glows a blue color. It is unbreakable except by the fire of the demons that made it. It was given to Teran as a challenge to fight the Tan'ari Poseidon...A challenge which he won...
 First Ability Metallokinesis- This is a stage of the earth path but is not directly linked to the base Geokinesis. Metallokinesis cannot be learned it is a trait given through birth. Metallokinetics are born with an unusual metal limb which can vary from being an arm to half of their face. They are only able to manipulate this metal except in the case that this metal is fused into another source then that source can also be manipulated. There are only a very few metallokinetics because the trait appears at random not directly linked to genetics passed down from family members but rather some unknown trait. Metallokinetics are naturally gifted fighters when using weapons of metal. Not much more is known about them than this.
Additional Information: Metal Spiked Right Arm, Spine, and Shoulder.
Second Ability Astrakinesis- This ability is gained form birth but is not usually revealed until after another path ability is learned. Astrakinetics have the ability to manipulate the astral plane. The astral plane is a plane that overlaps the physical plane and has its own laws of physics separate from our own. Astrakinetics have the ability to travel back and forth through the two planes to travel massive distances in a very short amount of time appearing to "teleport" though they are in fact moving on a separate plane. They also have the ability to create dimensional portal between the planes which can allow other objects or people to travel on the other plane. The astral plane is blocked directly around humans preventing anything form appearing closer than a few inches to them. Small short distance portals can be created with little effort or focus, where traveling as a person back and forth causes a lot of physical strain and energy drain. it is also believed that masters over the astral plane can enter the minds of others through the astral plane though it leaves their unconscious body behind as well as opening the astrakinetic to the imagination and will of the mind they enter.

Fade stepped on Teran, not knowing he was there, but only lightly and stepped back immediately. "Who- Oh my... Teran!" Fade knelt by his side, taking out a couple towels that she just stole. "What in the hell happened? Are you alright? Can you hear me?" She gently shook the bloody man as she cut strips out of the cloth to make rough bandages. She was careful to wipe the wounds down first, but couldn't do much else without water and soap, and she was running out of time. The fire was slowly growing while she was busy bandaging up the worst of the wounds. She tried to be gentle as possible, not wanting to irritate his cuts and burns, but she wasn't perfect.
Fade sat back. "He is way too heavy for me to just drag down the stairs, and I might end up hurting him more anyway." Fade knew how to get him out, but she was afraid of not doing it right, or being seen. But, there was no time to find a different way, her back was really starting to feel the heat. With a quick bit of focusing, Fade tried opening a portal. She hesitated a moment and decided to open it to the astral plane and not somewhere outside. Hopefully that will give her time to open a new portal or for him to wake up. She opened up a portal to the Astral Plane. Fade gathered her things again, and started to drag the heavy man, or at least tried to. "Gah! Why does he have to be so heavy! It's all that metal in his arms! Er...maybe it's because he is HUMONGOUS and I am a tiny little GIRL! Why do men have to be so heavy? Anyways, aren't they supposed to help, I don't know the damsel in distress, not the other way around! I am not going to forgive you for this. You hear me heavy fat man? You need to turn into a cute little puppy or something so I can just pick you up and cart you around in a purse." Fade mumbles and says all of this while she slowly drags Teran through the portal. It is hard for her to keep it open for so long, but she does it, just barely. When they make it to the other side, the building has started to become an inferno, and an explosion erupts from within just as she lets go. Fade collapses beside Teran. "This is ALL your fault! I had everything planned out, then you just had to show up! Well, I will open...a...new portal soon...once I catch my...breath..." Winded, Fade lays down, her eyes slowly closing.

Astrakinesis- This ability is gained form birth but is not usually revealed until after another path ability is learned. Astrakinetics have the ability to manipulate the astral plane. The astral plane is a plane that overlaps the physical plane and has its own laws of physics separate from our own. Astrakinetics have the ability to travel back and forth through the two planes to travel massive distances in a very short amount of time appearing to "teleport" though they are in fact moving on a separate plane. They also have the ability to create dimensional portal between the planes which can allow other objects or people to travel on the other plane. The astral plane is blocked directly around humans preventing anything form appearing closer than a few inches to them. Small short distance portals can be created with little effort or focus, where traveling as a person back and forth causes a lot of physical strain and energy drain. it is also believed that masters over the astral plane can enter the minds of others through the astral plane though it leaves their unconscious body behind as well as opening the astrakinetic to the imagination and will of the mind they enter.

Valen thinks for a moment, then stands up and puts out his hand to help Min up. "Well, the way I see it is you can either do what your brother says....or you can defy him and just leave. So the question here is, do you have the lady balls to defy your own flesh and blood?" He gives her a questioning look.

Signature Name: Valen Cromberly Nickname: Val Age: 25 Gender: Male Height: 6'1" Weight: 165lbs Rank: Apprentice Appearance:  History: Valen was born into a poor family living in the Illithid Mountains. When he was ten, some guys the his father owed money to came to his house and killed his family while he was out hunting. Upon noticing his family dead, Valen took all the supplies he could hold, and he left his house to begin wandering the world. He hitchhiked, and stole his way until he reached Bekilk Okarthel while learning many techniques of stealing and hiding. Soon he fell into a gang, and lived with them since then. (Note: Some of this may or may not be true, but this is what he usually tells people when they ask about his past) Inventory Two knives, each about 15" in length. 10 Throwing knives. 3 lockpicks. 2 9mil handguns, 2 silencers. Abilities: Biokinesis- Biokinetics have the ability to alter the shape of their bodies into almost anything much like shape shifting. The only different is that the transformation is not permanent and takes a great deal of pain to undergo. Biokinetics generally only shape shift into a few different forms until they master the ability and can change at will into anything. They will have a base gender but that can also be changed through the transformation. His form is: An old looking gentleman with long, grey hair. The transformation is painful

Min laughs, and pushes his hand aside as she stands up. "No one rules me pretty boy. He won't stop me if I want to leave, he wants to protect me yes, but I have always been the boss of him. He did everything I told him, always wanting to keep me safe and happy. I think I will leave. I would only be a hindrance anyway, he still wants revenge and I don't want to watch any more death." She walks towards the hole in the roof. Turning her head back to Valen. "Are you going to join him on his crusade? Or do you want to follow me as I disappear to find my own peace? It is up to you." She crawls down the ladder and starts to gather her belongings and other supplies for traveling.

Signature Name: Elmindreda Thompson Nickname: Min Age: 16 Gender: Female Rank: Beginner Appearance: History: Min is Zane's brother. Most of her history is locked away in a dark corner of her mind that she never wants to access again. And, she doesn't want anyone else to see her past either. Inventory type anything your character usually caries with them Abilities: Aerokinesis- This is the base of the air path and must be mastered in order to use any and all abilities branching off of it. Aerokinetics have the ability to manipulate air currents to change their direction, speed, and concentration. They can use this ability to form funnels of air to blow objects off balance or to concentrate wind into a thin line or sheet to cut with high velocity and accuracy. The user would also be able to levitate on air currents effectively "flying" for long periods of time in order to gain a better vantage point or to direct the fiercer winds that usually already flow at high altitudes. This ability has no clear distance limits other than the fact that winds will lose their speed and concentration as they move farther away from the user becoming less effective without more focused concentration.

Valen follows after Min and watches her pack quietly, and deeply lost in thought. After awhile he speaks up, his tone nervous, "I don't know your brother, nor his crusade, and I don't really feel like helping a crusade. My time here is done, and I would like to travel now, so...it would be an honor to follow you for I have nowhere else to go. I do have one request though. I need some...closure on something that happened many years ago, and that involves going back to where I grew up...the place I thought I'd never see again. Will you be so kind as to come with me while I visit the home I grew up in for ten years of life? I don't think I could handle the memories alone...." His face was dark and depressing, and he seemed to almost be pleading with Min. His eyes were both afraid and deeply saddened by whatever happened to him when he was a child, and he seemed to be nearly falling apart just thinking about it.

Min walked up to him and put her hands on his shoulders. She smiled at him as she replied, "Alright. I will go with you. We will go together then." Min became all excited. She really wanted to go on an adventure, and would prefer to not go alone.

Valen's eyes become cheerful again as he smiles back at Min, "Thank you, now hurry up and finish packing. Then we'll head to my apartment where we can take showers and get some money. I also need to pack...plus, I have a car which should make travel faster." He then promptly picks Min up and turns her around to face her stuff. "Now finish packing," he says, then he takes a seat and watches her, waiting her for her to finish.

Min sniffed as she was turned back to her things. All she had were a couple changes of clothing, some essential supplies including soap and such, and several packs of food and bottles of water. She quickly finished packing her meager supplies and shouldered her pack.
"You ready then?" she asked as she turned around, looking excited, yet nervous at the same time.
