Kaedri An'Kai
Elemental Mage of Fire and Air
[/color][/center][/size]
Gender: Female
Race: Half-elf
Age: 28
Personality: Kaedri is strong-willed and very intelligent. She is confident, courageous and very curious. She is a very gentle person.. at least that is what she tells people. When she titles someone her enemy, it's for life. She knows her place in Shivalithgar and does not go above her station unless it involves her duties as an apothecary.
Special Abilities/skills: Fire/Air Elemental Mage/Healing Mage. Kaedri trained with her brother, De'ach An'Kai. He taught her to defend herself, archery and to enjoy the thrill of the hunt. She is an expert horseback rider.
History: Kaedri was born into a broken family. Her mother was a Human Courtier and her father an Elven King, a relationship doomed from the start. Kaedri and her twin brother Garetma lived with their mother until an attack on her homestead by Zeben. Believing that Saren and Garetma were dead, Kaedri's nurse maid took her to the only place she knew Kaedri would be safe - to her father.
Knowing he could not keep her as his daughter publically, the King decided to ask his most trusted friend to watch her and to keep her real parentage a secret. She was to work as the princess's hand maiden. And so it was until Kaedri discovered the truth at 18. The King was leaving for a diplomatic meeting with a local orc tribe when he stopped his daughter hiding in his carriage. He admitted the truth and told her about her mother and what the tattoo on her neck meant. Suddenly the carriage was halted. Ordered to hide, Kaedri was forced to watch her father and his men get brutally slaughtered.
Kaedri returned to her home with news of the King's death. Months later, she was approached by the local apothecary. Kruik Derlan was a close friend of her father and the man that the King had chosen to be Kaedri's mentor. He taught her the discipline, concentration and patience she needed to control her abilities over Fire and Air. When she had learned the basics, Kaedri was 19 years old. It was then that she realized that her beloved mentor was a human from D'gran.
The day came where Kruik could teach her no more and Kaedri was left to fend for herself. He left her with the knowledge of her magickal origins and the threat that is coming as Zeben gathers his forces. Kruik warned her about Zeben's mission and made her promise she would protect herself.
Now, years later, she continues her duties as the kingdom's apothecary. She performs ceremonies and the traditional blessings of her people.

Barak
Guardian
[/color][/center][/size]
Gender: Male
Race: Elf
Age: Looks 24, is actually almost 147
Personality: Highly intelligent and rational from years spent under his father's tutelage. Strong sense of right and wrong from years in the military service.
Special Abilities/skills: Unbonded Guardian. Skilled in sword fighting and keeping himself focused, even when on the brink of exhaustian or when in incredible pain.
History: Barak's father was a talented elvish general, with many honors and awards for his heroic deeds. When Barak was born, his father wanted him to follow in his footsteps to retain honor within the family name. His mother was killed during childbirth, but his father appointed a nursemaid to watch over him until he could take Barak with him to work.
Barak's father taught him to read and write at an early age, and the boy excelled in his scholarly duties. When he had turned 61 (10 in appearance) he began to add swordplay to his repertoire.
Not long after Barak's mark was discovered by his nursemaid, and when Barak's father was sent to train new recruits to boost morale Barak was introduced to teachings about the Gods of the Old age. Since his father had always been around him, this was the first opportunity to teach him about what he was.
When his father returned three years later, Barak, being a quick and efficient study, had been taught all he needed to know about being a guardian. His father had been wounded in a demonstration on accident and sent home to recover. As his father's time grew nearer and nearer, he decided to tell his father what he had really been up to these past years, and his father insisted he find his destiny when he felt it necessary.
Weeks later Barak's father died of complications from the badly sealed wound, and after the funeral Barak requested leave from his military duties to explore the world abroad.
Other: Mother and father died. Bears the mark of a guardian. Fights with his father's sword and none other. Tattoo of an eagle over his heart in dark black ink.

Kaye Bawdree
Elemental Mage of Water
[/color][/center][/size]
Gender: Female
Race: Elf
Age: 85
Personality: Kaye is a rather outspoken young elf. She is a few years short of adulthood, and still has many thing to learn. She is slightly high tempered, at least as high tempered as an elf can get. She is not quite as 'calm' as most elves, and gets teased that she must have had some human ansestors. (She doesn't, at least as far as she knows)
Kaye is very fond of animals. She loves horses and enjoys horse back riding very much. She will hardly ever use a saddle though. She enjoys riding bareback. She also loves other animals though. Dogs, cats, wolves, the whole lot.
Nature is another love of hers. She enjoys climbing trees, running though fields, sitting in tall grass,etc. She is especailly in tone with the air. Air is her special element, so it makes sence. She practiced with her skill as often as she could, and eventually became very talented.
Kaye is about 5' 2'' and weighs about 100 pounds. She is a slim girl, always on the move and such. She hardly ever stands still. She is very active and gets bored easily. She enjoys having fun, and living life to the fullest.
Special Abilities/skills: Elemental Mage - Air
Kaye was always practicing her element, and eventually became extreamly gifted with it. She is always creating storms when she is bored, or calming them when she wants to go out and have some fun.
Kaye is also quite skilled with a bow. She has a clean shot, and it is very powerful if she is in range. She always has her bow with her, usually carried on her back beside a quivver of arrows, all with a single yellow feather on the end.
History: Kaye was born to two loving parents and a very mischevious brother. Her parents raised her kindly, letting her go out to explore when she pleased, yet keeping a strick eye on her education and well being. Ever since she was born and created her first small tornado, her parents knew that she was blessed with the element of air. They trained her as best they could, but they couldn't do much. Her father had the fire element, and her mother none, so they weren't quite sure on what to do. Kaye on the other hand went out and practiced until her hearts content every day. Eventually she taught herself many things that her parents never could.
Kaye's brother, Myke, had the element of water. He, too, taught himself practically everything he could, though he was never quite as talented of Kaye.
At age twenty, Kaye's parents both got caught in a house fire when her father was trying to make dinner. Both perished. Myke, being seven years older than Kaye, left the younger girl and went out on his own. Kaye strove to feed herself and take care of herself, often times going days without food. Finally she picked up odd jobs here and there, getting some coins to buy food. She never has much, but she gets by.
Other: Birthmark - On her lower back, Kaye has a small birthmark of several wavy lines, symbolizing her element of air.

Arienne Diotrephes
Elemental Mage of Earth
[/color][/center][/size]
Gender: Female
Race: Elf
Age: 357 years old
Personality: Arienne is considered by most to be an elegant and graceful being. She is a friendly sort, enjoying good conversations and company. It is very difficult to anger her, but once that point is crossed she can be a very difficult enemy to have. Like most of her kin, Arienne has an excellent memory, and rarely forgets a serious insult. Being an elemental mage of earth, she spends a lot of her time in the wilderness. Animals do not fear her, and in her presence plants are responsive and grow well.
Special Abilities/skills: Earth Elemental Mage. The majority of Arienne's abilities center around nature and her gifted element of earth. She has the ability to call upon animals for aid, call up plants and vines to entangle and even cause minute earthquakes. Some of her other skills include being able to scale cliff faces and other rough terrain, knowing which plants are helpful for certain situations, and how to harden her outer skin to the toughness of stone.
History: Arienne's history has been kept in her family's heritage books since the day of her birth. Her father, Cerleron, is well known among the elves as being a kind and intuitive sort. His knowledge of the past is incomparable, and many seek his company to simply hear tales of days gone by. Arienne's mother, Letharowyn is well versed in the healing arts, though she is not considered to be a healing mage. Her knowledge of herbal lore helps her to create helpful potions and medicinal salves. This is a trait that she passed on to her daughter.
Aside from her parents, Arienne also has two brothers, Darovan and Drogosil. Both are older than their sister, and both have their own talents which are put to good use in the protection of Shivalithgar. Arienne rarely sees them, yet she knows that they are there to offer her aid if ever she needs it. Arienne's childhood was filled with all the adventures that a young elf could fathom, since her imagination was full and overflowing with curiosity. She wasn't spoiled, but her parents provided well for her, ensuring that she would grow up with the knowledge she would need to survive.
At the young age of one hundred years, Arienne went through a test of her abilities and skills. Everything from her spells to her proficiency in defense and combat were exercised. In the end she proved her worth and was awarded with a magical bow. The bow itself is made from the most durable wood of her homelands, and the engravings set into its surface are filled in with the finest silver available. Arienne is able to call upon the earth element when she draws the weapon, and can fire three different types of arrows depending upon the command used: poisonous plants, obsidian tipped and vine lines.
Ever since then, Arienne has made the wilderness her home. She spends a great deal of time with the animals and plants that share her realm. Arienne has a great respect for all living things, but she detests anything that would harm another living creature. Like those who share in the elemental gift, Arienne is sworn to fight against the evils of Mygathyn and his minions. It is a fight that she looks forward to every single day.
Other: (Family, Distinguishing Marks, tattoos, birthmarks, fears...etc) Arienne sports a small birthmark upon her right hip, a sign that she is an elemental mage. It's design of sharp peaks defines her as a mage of the element of earth. Her mother, father and two brothers live in the beautiful Mafransnor forest. All are alive and healthy. Her strengths lie in her abilities as a mage of the earth, yet she does have a debilitating fear of deep water. Though it is strange, Arienne never learned how to swim and stay afloat.
Arienne stands at five feet, four inches tall. Though the sight of her isn't very intimidating, she has a regal and charismatic personality that demands a certain respect. Her hair is long, hanging to the middle of her back. The color is a rich chocolate hue, highlighted with a gracing of coppery red. Arienne's eyes are a lush shade of green, and they sport small flecks of cinnamon that surround her dark pupils. She isn't very muscular, but she isn't bone-skinny either. Her body is well proportioned, holding curves in places that denote her a woman. Her elvish ears are gracefully pointed, as is the norm for her race. She keeps her long mane pinned back at either side for comfort and functionability.
Arienne usually wears clothing that is loose and comfortable. Her chosen hues are earthly tones of brown, deep and vibrant greens and seasonal oranges and dark reds. She also wears a pair of hide sandals that lace rather gracefully up to her knees. Arienne doesn't carry many weapons with her, though she does have a bow that shoots magic arrows. She relies mostly upon her spells for such things as combat and defense.
Doryn Thakan
Guardian
[/color][/center][/size]
Gender: Male
Race: Elf
Kingdom: Shivalithgar
Age: 171
Personality: Doryn is stubborn and determined but like most guardians he has two sides. As the General of the Royal Guard, he knows he must defend his queen no matter what the costs and he is prepared to give his life to accomplish his goal. He is intuitive, smart and occasionally a wise ass. Typically around women, he is uncomfortable having grown up living with soldiers who taught him to be brave and never show a weakness—especially if that weakness is a woman. However as a guardian, he's calm in the face of danger. He knows the myth by heart and awaits the day he meets his bondmate, determined to protect her to his death.
Special Abilities/skills: General of the Queen's Royal Guard/Unbonded Gaurdian.
History: Like most soldiers, Dor started his military service as a young child. Taken from his family, he was trained hard and beaten for failure. Some thought it was cruel but all soldiers of Shivalithgar knew otherwise. It taught then to be strong and fearless.
He made his way through the ranks of the forces, until he was promoted by Commander De'ach to General and put in charge of the Royal Guard.
Other: Family - Both parents are deceased and has no siblings.
Distinguising Marks - As a general, he has many battle scars.
Doryn has the
Mark of the Guardian on his left forearm.
