Witches: Wilvaren Soul Guardians: Karribi Aberrant: Azigrel, Chorica, Kemo, Evilyn, Cerisele, Riasin Reapers: Malvye, Temprus, Lailase Rangers: Peekolla, Alornia, Rembo Kindred: Iiqa, Lumieros, Aulinae Outlanders: Ateria, Tohyne, unnamed desert dude, Rouven, Kakkimo Undecided: Telekire, Kothisu, Sveryn ...and a few more unnamed who are just concepts right now but will get characters later.
Iiqa should technically be an Aberrant, but she's tiny, cute, and practically harmless so no one questions her. The rest are kind of out of luck. Rouven and Rembo should be Aberrant as well, since they're demons (demons aren't exactly popular), but Rouven refuses to acknowledge the factions, and Rembo's... Rembo :II
There's a chance Ateria could become an Aberrant as well, since she fell and is prone to corruption, but right now she's an Outlander.

Bio: For centuries, Azigrel served the Marxuldas, an ancient, wealthy demon family. He was both their butler and protector; while ensuring the manor stayed remained in pristine condition, as well as fulfilling the many needs of the family, he made a great effort to ensure the safety of all the family's lords and ladies. Simply being a member of the Marxulda family guarantees a lifetime of potential threats - as if being a demon in the underworld isn't dangerous enough. Azigrel worked from within the shadows to remove dangers before they came close to the family's doorstep. He was successful, for the most part, and only a handful of the Marxuldas ever learned of his help.
When a powerful demon lord named Cazilair became the head of the family, Azigrel noticed a large shift in the family dynamic. Firstly, Cazilair's lust for power and desperation to have a promising heir was unnerving. Secondly, his treatment of his five children was more neglectful than anything Azigrel had ever seen. He pretended his four daughters didn't exist, despite their individual strengths, because he wanted a son to inherit the family name. He eventually got his wish and had a son. His name was Rouven, and he was the weakest of the five.
Naturally, this upset Cazilair. He had been trying so hard to have a son, only to have one whose abilities were embarrassingly weak, especially for a Marxulda. He eventually got so frustrated that he locked Rouven in a cell and refused to let him out unless he escaped himself. He couldn't. Azigrel took pity on the young demon and broke his bonds for him. Cazilair found out, and he was furious that Azigrel went against his wishes, and that Rouven still wasn't able to prove himself. In a blind rage, he exiled both Azigrel and Rouven from the Marxulda family and forced them to the surface world. They appeared in mid-Varatia.
Azigrel loyally stayed by Rouven's side. Rouven, shocked by his father's actions, was in a fog for days. He tried to dismiss Azigrel after a while. The familiar refused to leave his master alone in an unknown world, so Rouven vanished one night, giving them both opportunities to try and become their own people.
It didn't last long. While Azigrel was searching for Rouven in the deeper parts of Varatia, he was once again summoned to serve. He appeared in the decrepit Ravenweld Manor and found that he had been summoned by a witch - Wilvaren. Will was vague with his reasons for summoning Azigrel, but the latter developed suspicions that the witch was lonely. He was also absolutely horrible at taking care of himself and the manor, so Azigrel's caring instincts kicked in, and things snowballed from there.
Bio: Not much is known about Chorica, other than the fact that she is an amalgam of two spirits. She is half-fear spirit and half-hunger spirit; as such, she terrifies most people she meets, and she has a never-ending hunger that can only be satiated by consuming the souls of the living. She's more of a beast than a person. Because of this, she is frequently targeted by the Soul Legion and even the Reapers. Unfortunately, all their efforts to incapacitate her have been in vain. It only takes one look at those bright yellow eyes to petrify you, and when she opens her mouth, it's all over. And you do not want her to open her mouth.
Despite her unsettling existence, she has no ill intentions - she's just trying to survive like everyone else, even though everyone else seems to want her dead.
Name: Kemo Pronunciation: kee-mo Alias: None Species: Xweetok Gender: Male Age: 12 Love: None Crush: None Sexuality: Unsure Family: Estranged father, and his mother is probably dead, but he's looking for her anyway Offspring: Too young Birthplace: Embrum Woods Current Residence: Wandering mid/inner Varatia Faction: The Aberrant Abilities: Poison manipulation. His fur produces toxic spores, and his paws are always leaking a lethal poisonous liquid. He tries to stop these things from happening, because they're extremely dangerous to others, but to no avail. Personality: Shy, quiet, jumpy, kindhearted, fearful, thoughtful Likes: wip Dislikes: wip Other notes: n/a
Bio: Kemo is a young boy from Embrum Woods. He never knew his father, and his mother vanished into inner Varatia one day, never to return. He has been searching for her tirelessly for many months, all while avoiding the dangers of the inner woods; but the magic there has been slowly changing him, turning him into a walking toxic cloud and thus into one of the Aberrant. He doesn't seem to care about how horrific his transformation could become - he just wants to find his mother, whatever the cost. What he doesn't realize is that she has either succumbed to magic and become a beast, or that she died before he even started searching.
Name: Peekolla Pronunciation: pee-koll-uh Alias: Eko Species: Xweetok Gender: Male Age: 18 Love: None; slightly interested Crush: None Sexuality: Gray-aromantic heterosexual Family: Estranged Offspring: None Birthplace: Somewhere very, very far away from Varatia Current Residence: Embrum Woods Faction: The Rangers Abilities: WIP Personality: Daring, brave, reckless, flirtatious, somewhat dense, competitive, outgoing Likes: Adventuring, being active, being around others, fresh air Dislikes: Having to sit still for too long, laziness, mangos, cold weather Other notes: - He always has that headband on.

Bio: Malvye is the daughter of Temprus, the leader of the Reapers. Temprus will soon retire, and he wants Malvye to take his place. The idea hasn't been very popular among the other Reapers.
(actual bio coming soon because I'm still working on revamping her lmao)
Name: Materiae Pronunciation: ma-teh-ree-uh Alias: Ateria Species: Fallen angel Gender: Female Age: 300+ (appears 20; is no longer immortal) Love: None Crush: Ralts...soon. Sexuality: Demiromantic heterosexual Family: Alive, in heaven Offspring: None Birthplace: Heaven Current Residence: Sanguine Valley Faction: The Outlanders Abilities: Ice manipulation, flight, heightened reflexes and strength, knows how to use several different weapons in her human form Personality: Caring, kindhearted, somewhat shy, tends to bottle things up, affectionate, unmotivated and sad as of late Likes: Winter, flowers, quietness, hearing stories (whether they're true or not) Dislikes: Violence, demons, the surface (for now), lots of noise, dangerous weather Other notes: - After a few years, her wings will become black.
Bio: Ateria was once a warrior angel from heaven. Her superior was Nelatiel, a powerful seraph who led heaven's army in the fight against demons. Ateria looked up to her from a young age. She wanted to be just like her when she grew up, and when she was taken under Nelatiel's wing (literally) for training, her dream seemed to be coming true. She worked day and night almost without pause, driven entirely by ambition and a longing to serve heaven just like Nelatiel had for millennia. Ateria's hard work eventually paid off, and her skill made her one of Nelatiel's favorite warriors.
The other seraphs had been keeping an eye on Nelatiel for centuries. The more powerful an angel is, the more susceptible to corruption they are; and Nelatiel, being the strongest warrior heaven had seen in the last ten millennia, seemed destined to have such a fate. Whether it was due to her killer instincts going to her head, or too much exposure to the surface world, no one is certain, but she gradually started to change. Her valor twisted into bloodlust. She became the exact opposite of everything she stood for, and she began to create chaos in heaven, catching her confused and conflicted charges in the middle.
Ateria, against her better judgment, remained loyal to Nelatiel until the end, when the other seraphs managed to beat her in a fight - though not without casualties. Instead of granting her mercy by ending her life, they punished her by stripping her of her title and casting her down to the surface world, from which she could never return. Ateria and the other warriors who stayed with Nelatiel met a similar fate. Ateria herself fell and landed in Heaven's Gate, alone, disoriented, and overwhelmed by guilt.
Since then she has been wandering Varatia, unsure of what to do with herself and dreading what could become of her now that she is fallen. She's tempted to go looking for Nelatiel, but isn't sure she could handle seeing what her former leader has become.
Name: Rembo Pronunciation: rem-bo Alias: Bo Species: Demon Gender: Male Age: 70+ (immortal; appears 16) Love: None; not interested Crush: None Sexuality: Aromantic asexual Family: Estranged Offspring: None Birthplace: The Underworld Current Residence: Deep Embrum Woods Faction: The Rangers Abilities: Sound manipulation; he can create massive sound waves to devastating effect. He sees with echolocation, and his hearing is extremely sensitive. Personality: Laid back, cheerful, friendly, lazy, considerate, clumsy, very slow to anger, somewhat dimwitted Likes: Sleeping, food (especially sweet things), exploring, warm weather Dislikes: Fish, violence, people who take life way too seriously Other notes: - He spends a lot of time sleeping and can fall asleep in the weirdest, most uncomfortable places imaginable. - Most people are completely unaware that he's a demon because of his appearance and demeanor. - He was teased quite relentlessly in his youth, so he's a bit self-conscious, but he won't hesitate to defend anyone being picked on. This is one of the few things that can bring out his mean side.
Bio: It comes as a surprise to many that Rembo is a high-ranking member of nobility; besides the fact that he doesn't look like a noble, he doesn't care to tell anyone of his bloodline, because he is afraid that his status may change how others perceive him. His family was well-known in the underworld for their money and status, as well as the vast amount of land that they owned. They had links to the powerful Marxulda family, which gained them many allies - and enemies.
Rembo never wanted anything to do with that lifestyle. His parents kept him in a very stifling, strict environment, as they wanted their son to be a skilled and professional entrepreneur for when he eventually inherited the family's wealth. He hated having to be so formal and serious all the time, so one day, he stopped. He decided to be himself, because he thought it would make him much happier. His parents would understand, right? Well... not exactly.
This backfired severely, to the point where Rembo's parents threatened to disown him if he didn't start taking his status seriously. Tensions grew, feelings were hurt, and eventually, the young demon couldn't take it anymore. So he left without looking back, and wound up in Varatia after a bit of wandering. He joined the Rangers for a bit of excitement and is finding plenty of happiness and enjoyment in his current life, though he can't help but feel some regret that he disappointed his parents and left them without an heir.
Name: Evilyn Pronunciation: ev-uh-lin Alias: Evi (eh-vee) Species: Soul Snatcher Gender: Female Age: 80 (immortal; appears 19) Love: None; unsure if she's interested Crush: None Sexuality: Demiromantic homosexual Family: Estranged Offspring: None Birthplace: ? Current Residence: Deep Embrum Woods Faction: The Aberrant Abilities: Being a soul snatcher, Evi can pull the soul out of a living body and put herself inside the empty shell that gets left behind. She also inherits any special abilities the body's owner had. The body she currently inhabits allows her to use telekinesis. Personality: wow I need to redo this Likes: wip Dislikes: wip Other notes: - Her true form resembles someone (quad, anthro, or human, depending on the roleplay) made entirely of fog. - If she is without a physical form for too long, her body will dissipate, and she'll die.
Name: Riasin Pronunciation: ree-ah-sin Alias: Ria Species: Xweetok Gender: Female Age: 19 Love: None; slightly interested Crush: None Sexuality: Bisexual Family: Estranged Offspring: None Birthplace: Sanguine Valley Current Residence: Embrum Woods Faction: The Aberrant, posing as a Reaper Abilities: Blood manipulation; this can be used as a means of either healing or destruction, but she hasn't used her abilities in a long time. The effects vary with her emotions. Personality: Sarcastic, humorous, laid back, short-tempered, fearful, gentle Likes: Dislikes: Other notes: n/a
Bio: Ria was born with the strange and dangerous ability to control blood. She realized this at a young age, when a badly scraped knee quit bleeding simply because she willed it to stop. She didn't think much of it until a few years later, when she found one of her friends in the woods, bleeding internally after having been attacked by an Aberrant. He wouldn't have survived, had Ria not healed his injuries. After realizing what she was capable of doing, Ria used her ability quite freely on her friends while managing to keep it a secret from the adults in her village. She was able to cure everything from papercuts to deep gashes.
Unfortunately, it was inevitable that Ria's secret would eventually be revealed. When one of her friends contracted a deadly blood-borne disease, Ria removed it without a second thought. What she hadn't considered was that the illness was incurable. Suspicions arose instantly, and once word got out about the girl who could control blood, the entire village was in an uproar. They thought Ria was an evil spirit of some kind, or even a demon. They branded her an Aberrant and threatened to have her killed.
Ria's fear was so great that her abilities went out of control, boiling the very blood of the people who threatened her and sending their hearts into overdrive, causing them to pump more blood than their bodies could hold. The results were... messy. Terrified, Ria fled into the woods without looking back. The guilt over what happened is still fresh, and it's weighing her down so much she can hardly begin to imagine using her powers again, even if it's to help people.
Lately she has been hiding her identity and working with the Reapers, as she wishes to try and make amends for the things she has done; though she does so through physical prowess alone. She doesn't rely on any special powers, much to the confusion surprise of the other Reapers, many of which have powerful abilities they use on the hunt.
