Serenity Freya

Main Universe;;Final Fantasy VII

As most young people dreamed of doing, Serenity had wanted to be in SOLDIER since she was about eight, two years since she was found and adopted by Dane and Ramy Freya from Fort Condor. She has no recollection of her past beyond the age of six, and people would assume that as a child she had come in contact with Mako, since her eyes had that unusual glow associated with Mako-poisonings, or even similar to Mako exposures done on SOLDIERs to enhance their physical and magical abilities. And since it was unlikely that she was a SOLDIER of any type, the townfolks assumed the first option and would say that she was still lucky to be sane and able to remember her life after such an incident. Anyone else would have been so addled that they’d rarely ever recover to talk or continue living.

Serenity had her adopted parents, who would later on have a daughter together named Alexandria, and honestly it was all the family she needed. Especially since with Fort Condor being a small community, everyone within it were like family to each other. She would learn how to defend the town from monsters and learn to do tasks that would help them get by from day to day. Hunting, farming, even a little fishing even though just getting to the ocean was about half a day’s trip. Everything had a place, and most of the time the chores were enjoyable. But she wanted something bigger.

Around seventeen, this was when things started picking up out in the rest of the world. ShinRa was about to declare war on Wutai, whom had threatened the company as well as the rest of the continent. Despite her parent’s pleas to not go to ShinRa, she would leave and go to the nearest ShinRa recruitment center there was; Junon. From there, she had to go through boot camp and training. Unfortunately she wasn’t prepared for so many comments toward one thing… her hair color. SOLDIER First Class Sephiroth had been known for his long silver hair, and had gained a large fanclub not only for his good looks but also for his status in ShinRa. So typically anyone else with silver hair must have bleached their hair and were copying First Class Sephiroth, or were some of the hardcore fanatics, according to anyone who got in her face about it. This however only ever made her more determined to be her own soldier, especially as often she couldn’t convince anyone else that it was her normal hair color.

Four hard months went into training and boot camp, and she was keeping up with those at the top better than she expected. On certain occasions, an scientist would come by and examine each of them. For this particular instance, a man by the name of Professor Kilian only had to glance at her and see something with great potential (according to him anyhow). Serenity could see that he had a strange interest in her, but for what she couldn’t really fathom. But since then after that visit, she was promoted straight to SOLDIER Third Class and transferred to another section with the other selected candidates to the next step of training that lasted for a month, to which afterwards they would finally see action.

From there, Serenity had done all she was asked of and demonstrated her abilities and strength while on the field. Mostly it was defending caravans and the occasional terrorist attack, but there were times where her unusual strength would be the reason they’d succeed (not that she was much aware of her as the tipping point). But she was recognized and would move on to Second Class after two more months. Perhaps the reason for such speedy rise in ranks was that the attack on Wutai was reaching its peak, and ShinRa was in need of those with strength to overcome the war. After all, it wasn’t only Serenity who was getting through the ranks, even if the numbers were smaller than when joining Third Class.

The final attack on Wutai was where she was brought to fight along with many other Second Class and even the First Class SOLDIERS, with Third Class bringing up the rear. Faced with a choice to either strike down a group of Wutai that consisted of children and elders or to go past them to the main fight, she had chosen the second and allowed the group to carry on. This caused a bit of friction with another Second Class, but she was firm on the decision and said that she would take the punishment if there were one to be given. But she was never given a punishment for the action, at worst given a reprimend. However she had earned a few words from an First Class, named Angeal, that sometimes the right thing would often be the hardest to follow. She wasn’t sure what he meant by that, but she kept those words close.

Coming to the end of the war, there were no more deployments. Word had gotten out that one of the First Class had deserted ShinRa. And in the interests of keeping a strong front, another Second Class named Zack Fair was given the rank First Class, whom had a glowing recommendation from the First Class Angeal (or at least as glowing as it could be, according to those that actually knew him). Serenity Frey was not at all worried about not being picked, as she was only recently Second Class herself. But the interest in her was accelerating rapidly as Professor Kilian would often call for her to his labs so that he could run a series of tests, as well as something called infusion. At the time it wasn’t so unusual for scientists to call several candidates for various tests and experiments, though Serenity was not all that comfortable with the process nor the way she was looked at with expectations, like she was about to grow a second head or suddenly becoming a monster. Professor Kilian was insistant with her coming every few days, and despite her misgivings, she couldn’t refuse the orders.

Flash forward a few years when ShinRa had won the fight with Wutai, subduing them and setting up a reactor in a rather desolate location on their lands. Rumors spread about the war with Wutai, the most out-spoken being that it wasn’t Wutai who had declared war, that it was ShinRa who had wanted to take a sacred location of theirs because of its abundance of mako energy and decided that if Wutai wasn’t going to agree, then they’d take it by force. For awhile, Serenity ignored these rumors since it didn’t make sense to have such a reason. Despite all three of the top First Class SOLDIERs abandoning their station, one in which was killed in action after his trip to Nibelheim to check on the reactor there, the rest of SOLDIER were doing as much good as they could. Serenity had taken special interests in the slums of Midgar, taking the time to clear monsters from nesting in the sectors and trying to show that there was nothing but good will to the inhabitants. Needless to say that there were mixed reactions to seeing a Second Class SOLDIER. And all the while she took this up and other duties, Professor Kilian had continued his research and tests on her at every possible oppontunity.

The true last straw was when Fort Condor had been targetted. She had been aware for the longest time of the reactor that Fort Condor hosted one of ShinRa’s reactors, to which when the namesake Condor had come to roost on top of it and nest its solitary egg. The Condor was to repeat its cycle of rebirth, where when it dies it was reborn within its egg before it matured and returned out to the world before it returned to start again. ShinRa, however, wanted to be rid of the Condor to be able to get to the reactor, and thus they ordered its execution. When Fort Condor’s people refused to make way, the company caused the destruction that left it in ruins, constantly attacking the fort and trying to make it up to the reactor before forced to retreat.

After the operation began and Serenity learned of it, she knew that she had enough. Not only were they keeping the information from her and had done so until a text message managed to make it to her phone to alert her to the situation, the company itself had begun to twist its own morales. But before she could make her leave, Professor Kilian had one last test to perform, so under the guise that she was still unaware of the happenings, she would meet him in the labs. From there though, it was no longer simple tests. ShinRa had been quite aware of her origins, and so even though she gave no indication that she would turn against them, they gave the go-ahead for Kilian to use her for his project, one that had been on hold for about twelve years.

Further information afterwards had been unclear… especially as ȇ̻̍ͤ̔ͫ̂͝r͋ͩ̽̽̈́͋̄͏̘̗̳̘̗̬̹rͭ̾̄̊͐̄ō͎̘̃͗̇̿̒̉r̒̈̆͏̣̰̖̳̘̤̻ ̸̬͔̱̜͍ͫ̐̄ĥ̠͚̲̳͙̥̖ͬͫȧ͓͈̟͍̩̻̃̽ͣ̉̍s̨̱ͮ̊ ̶͓̩̟̙͎͕̌͐ͣỏ̱̙̥̱͇̖̈́͒ͣͧ́c̙ͦͫͧͣ͊̇̆c̢̖̝̦̠̱ͣ̑ͧͤͥ̀͊ͅu͚͊͌̀͒̕r̲͓̜̖̝͕͋̿̾̄́͜ȓ͉̣̲̺̖̟͐͑̆̂̚͢ĕ̳͕̌ͭ͝ḑ̭̪ͯ.̅͊ͫ.͚͍́̊̽ͤ͑̔.̙͔̻͓ͥ́ͫ́̕ ̤ͯ͜d̛̺̦͖͉̼͇̹̎̈́ͫ̄a̼͊ͥ̌̽̾͛ťA̝͓̘̫̙͈͎ͬͪ̏ͬ͐̃ ͕̪̗̲̮̹͈͞c̩̻̠̦̲̦̄ͭ̈́ͦ͑0̯̣͚̘͚̇̿ͣ̏ͅr̰̥̞̮̯̲̈ͩR̬͕̮̗͓̦͌͌ͧ́̓̓u̠̺͚̺̹̿͞p̯̯̱͍͆̈́̉̋̊̎̽

Nora Friska

Main Universe;;Final Fantasy XV

Born into a family in Verina Mart - Ravatogh, Nora was told that she was born with a spear in her hand. This is mostly due to the fact that the family were hunters, to which they mostly hunted prey and beasts for what they could use as either consumption or use in everyday life, as well as keep the monster population in control around the small towns. Once she was old enough to be taught how to help with the family during hunts, she was hooked into the sport of it as well as the thrill. This often got her reprimanded whenever she complained that the hunt was boring (usually the hunts that involved non-violent beasts).

It took several years for Nora to start making a name for herself, though she had gained a mixed reputation over the time - such as being the one to cause a stampede of wyvern through the town when she was dared to try to ride one. But she had made progress in being just as good of a hunter as her dad and brothers, even if she was always the one to scour through the lands for something tougher.

When she was about sixteen and on one of the trips that took them to other locations and places, she was traveling further away to find some fun when she came across a large group of saberclaws that had been terrorizing a herd of mesmenir. Several were already felled. While it was the natural course of things and she knew this, Nora couldn’t help herself when she spotted a little mesmenir foal in the jaws of a saberclaw. The group itself was too large for a young girl to take care of, but she managed to gain their attention after killing the saberclaw holding the foal and causing as much noise as possible until her dad finally found her to take care of the saberclaws.

Once it turned out that the foal’s mother was one of those slayed and the rest of the herd were scattered, Nora took it upon herself to care for the mesmenir since she had rescued it. Her father at least didn’t mind, as this was an opportunity for her to learn some responsibility, and perhaps stop trying to seek out bigger hunts that she wasn’t ready for. The foal was given the name Ira, and while at the beginning it took many long hours and days to convince her that she could take food from the human girl, the time spent with the mesmenir would eventually bring the bond between them to grow despite the trial-and-error on the part of the human trying to care for her. Within two years, Ira had grown from that scared foal to a swift full-grown adult that refused to leave even when presented several opportunities to join herds. When it was clear that Nora was the permanent herd for the mesmenir, she couldn’t help but be relieved since she too had bonded with the beast, and it presented an opportunity for the human to be able to travel anywhere she wanted with Ira willing to carry her.

Ever since the incident that brought her to rescue Ira, Nora herself was working on her training for more than just thrill hunts. At around nineteen, she decided that she should get into the occupation of monster hunter, that in which while thrilling was to help towns that were being terrorized by beasts. She and Ira had set off once she learned the location of Monster Hunter HQ to join the ranks, and ever since then she was moving from one place to another depending on hunt requests. Nora would make sure to visit her family whenever she was in the area, or to write to them, but she glad to have found something worth doing.

Alternate Universe;;Monster Hunter

Ysra

Main Universe;;How to Train Your Dragon

There weren’t a lot to do on a small island that her clan lived on, but like most other young people, Ysra had gone out and explored as often as she could so that she could find things to do. With a fiery attitude to match her bright red hair, she was someone that wasn’t at all afraid to express her opinions despite being one of the youngest currently. But then again, being the youngest might be why she’s so vocal. Regardless, this young lady had a lot of practice in her somewhat large family that consists of her parents and four other kids.

Her boldness may have gotten her into many a trouble, but it also saved her life during those times of trouble. When the Beserkers had raided her village, Ysra had been one of the first to respond by attacking with a staff when no weapon was readily available. Unfortunately a staff could only do so much, and when the bulk of the raiders invaded, her mother would take her by the arm and shove her into one of the small boats, telling her to row out along the island until things calmed down.

Despite her reluctance, Ysra did as her mother bid (as her mother was one of the three leaders, not to mention that she had no intention of being grounded until her coming of age ceremony a year later) and started out into the sea in the attempt to escape the encove that the boats were stationed. By this point though, a storm that had been brewing but was to the other side of the island had finally rolled in and the combination of wind and waves sent the small boat out much further than she wanted. No matter what she tried, Ysra was swept out to sea, going so much further than even she would have dared to do on her own. The combination of the earlier fight and trying to keep control over the boat would eventually overwhelm her senses and pass out.

It would be next day’s afternoon before she woke again, dimly aware that the boat was no longer swaying to the waves that had subsided to calmer rocking surges. Briefly she had thought that she was back on her island until she sat up and looked around to see that this island was surrounded by several mounds of black rock that she would recall the lessons about volcanoes and lava, none in which was on her home island and only heard about it. Wherever she had ended up, it wasn’t her home, and one look around the sea said that she was a long ways away.

The young girl started on making a shelter near the beach where she washed up, to which gave her something besides her predicament to think about. It was a lot easier to forget your troubles when you’re keeping your hands busy, as she found it to be. The loud noises of her cursing and breaking branches from nearby trees would fill the air, and it wouldn’t be long before Ysra found that she wasn’t alone on the island after all.

A splash of red would eventually catch her attention as it watched her move from tree to tree, always keeping distance but apparently trying to figure her out. Ysra would throw a few of the lesser branches she deemed unusable at it in the hopes of it going away, but it never went far. This would be when she was cursing herself for not making at least a sharp branch for a weapon, but she tried to keep going about her own business, aware as the creature - though she was starting to think it was one of the dragons that would on more than one occasion attack her village - was following her every move.

Eventually her little shelter was made and she settled down next to a small inlet of water, indeed ready with a sharp stick and keeping her patience as she waited for fish to swim by. For awhile, it seemed that the dragon was leaving her alone at last, or at least it was well out of sight. Either way, she was starving and needed to eat, so she kept her attention mostly on the ocean. After a long time of spearing one fish inbetween the wait, Ysra had plenty to keep stock for a couple of days. As she was tottering back to her shelter to get ready to make a fire and cook a few of them right then, this was when the red dragon reappeared, flaring its wings and giving a bellowing roar.

Rather than run away, Ysra dropped her catch and readied her spear leveled at the dragon, to which in turn made the dragon pause in confusion. It tried to scare her off with another demonstration of its fiercesome roars, but the girl was not having it, bellowing right back at it and standing her ground. Both would go silent as the dragon tilted its head, still confused by this, before taking only one step back before standing still. Scowling at the dragon, Ysra grabbed hold of all of her fish that were strung together by some binded reeds, and slowly circled around the dragon to get to her shelter. It would hiss if she got closer than it wanted, but she hissed right back and kept going.

An understanding would eventually come to pass as the dragon stayed near but never approaching the shelter, waiting for something. By this point, Ysra was a little curious but all the same cautious as she’d roast a few fish, the smell apparently interesting the dragon as it sniffed the air at the smoke. This prompted Ysra to pick up a fish from her pile and toss it toward the dragon after doing a little show of her holding it and making the ‘ready catch’ motion she had done for dogs in the past. The dragon shirked away as the fish fell short of it before snapping its head forward and tossing the fish into its maw. The way it stared at her expectedly told Ysra that she had at least perked its interest for more than just food.

Days turned to weeks as Ysra waited on the island for possible rescue. And everyday the dragon would come by her shelter, inching a little closer each visit as she would give it a few fish from her pile if she had any to spare. If nothing else, it gave her something to look forward to, and perhaps kept her sanity as she’d start to talk and sing to it whenever it was around. A few times during this time, if she took a nap under a tree, she would on more than one occasion wake up to see the dragon almost standing over her while observing before fleeing upon noticing her being awake. At one point, Ysra ended up naming the dragon Tempest, since calling it (or him, as she started noticing these things) “dragon” was just weird.

» AXIMILI-ESGARROUTH-ISTHILL -------ANIMORPHS

Younger brother to Elfangor-Sirinial-Shamtul, Aximili had feared of always living in his older brother's shadows, despite the warmth and affection the two shared, especially as he had always looked up to Elfangor. His brother was a war hero against the Yeerks, an species that sought to bring control over every world they can for hosts (for the Yeerks are parasites by nature, and in need of hosts to live beyond the world of sludgy pools that, in essence, were their very reason for staying alive). But as any younger sibling would, Aximili would hope to one day outshine his brother.

Little did he know that he would get to in a very nasty way; he would end up becoming the sole survivor on the Andalite fleet ship GalaxyTree, crashing into the alien world's oceans where he had to wait for months before he could be rescued. And that rescue were done by those that his brother would break the ultimate code before dying... the Animorphs, a group of Earthling kids who were the only ones to fight the Yeerks while needing to wait roughly over a year before Andalites would be able to send help.

Many battles had been won, several more were lost. Aximili had served the leader of the Animorphs as well as he can, the one he would call Prince Jake. After a little while, he had begun to truly accept them, and had become a loyal member to fight the Yeerks. After the final battle, and a uneasy solution was truly found between the Yeerks and the rest of the galaxy, Aximili was able to stand in the same spotlight that his own brother had stood. While it didn't bring him the joy that he had expected long ago, he felt as though he could be content, knowing that his brother was proud for what Ax had managed to accomplish.

» CYNDER -------LEGEND OF SPYRO

Cynder was born in the same clutch of dragon eggs that Spyro was in during the Year of the Dragon, making her and Spyro the same age. On the night the Dark Armies raided the Dragon Temple, the Ape King Gaul kidnapped Cynder's egg, choosing her to be the dragon who would free the essence of the Dark Master, Malefor, from his prison in the Convexity. She was corrupted by Malefor's dark powers shortly after hatching, which transformed her into a monstrous and horrific adult dragon brainwashed to do Malefor's bidding. But after being freed from his control and brought back by Spyro would Cynder truly begin to be her own dragon.

It took a lot of soul-searching, as she had been plagued by the guilt of everything she had done by the bidding of Malefor, one in which many creatures wouldn't let her forget. But after overcoming her past demons and rising to the challenge at Spyro's side, she was able to conquer not only her own self-doubt but to put to rest what had once been her sole purpose of living; Malefor's defeat.

While she has truly strong feelings for the purple dragon, Cynder would still struggle to find the words to form a summary of how much she loves him. Even after Malefor's final defeat and being dragged into the central gem by the ancestral dragons, confessing a simple uttered confession as she refused to leave him to mend the world that was breaking apart, she's unsure if he truly recuperated her feelings. But she intends to continue to remain at his side, whether as merely a best friend or more.

» GIG -------SOUL NOMAD AND THE WORLD EATERS

"The destroyer of everything!

        The commander of the World Eaters!

                            But hell, you can call me Gig."

Gig is the Master of Death, a powerful entity hailing from the world called Drazil that was sent to the world of Haephnes, under orders by the rulers of Drazil to wreck havoc and to send as many souls from that world to the other as he could. While he certainly did accomplish the goal in some regards, he did it with a kind of savage glee that had nothing to do with it being his job. However, Haephnes had a fair number of heroes that would rise to the challenge; in such, one would come to fight Gig when others had failed. And that was the original Layna (with the aid of Virtuous), who would sacrifice her very soul so that the Master of Death would lose his body and become sealed in the Onyx Blade. For the next two hundred years, he had remained sealed, and the three World Eater titans that served him were put into a sleep.

However, things would not stay peaceful, especially as the rulers of Drazil were impatient for their need for more souls to come to their world. The three sleeping World Eaters were waking and would resume their havoc without Gig commanding them. Soon, Lady Layna (the body in which would come to house Virtuous but had kept the name of the original owner) had to find someone who could not only wield the Onyx Blade, but as well as keep Gig in check who wouldn't stop at taking over the body and forming himself anew. That would come to the one called Revya. As the one who would wield him would slowly uncover throughout the journey to stop the three World Eaters though, Gig was so much more than the eye would see.

» KID -------CHRONO CROSS

Talented as a thief and a world traveler, Kid always appears to be a carefree individual who took what she'd need (unless of course the other totally deserves to lose all their coins, then she'll take a lot more). But back before her chosen lifestyle, she was found as an baby orphan and had been raised by Lucca, who'd form an orphanage where she took in other homeless children. Up until she was eleven years old, she had a good life, until tragedy struck; the orphanage was burned down by an demi-human name Lynx along with his ally called Harle. Lucca was killed in the process, and most of the other kids would drift off to find another life, leaving her to fend for herself where she sword to herself that she'll get her revenge on Lynx.

However, there's a lot more to her than a petty criminal with a scarred childhood memory; Kid is the daughter-clone of Schala, a woman who was bound to the old entity called Lavos, though upon absorbing the woman would become the Dream Devourer. Having feared for what little mind she had as she was slowly corrupted while bound to the entity, she had opted instead to send the part of herself that could be saved out as a clone, which resulted in Kid being born, given the pendant that was the family's heirloom, and sent to Lucca on purpose rather than simply found by chance.

Having saved a guy named Serge, Kid would attach herself to his company; after having overheard the Acasia Dragoons were looking for him by the orders of Lynx to apprehend the 'ghost boy', she knew that Serge would be the best chance she'd get to finding the demi-human that had destroyed her childhood, killing Lucca whom she regarded as close to a mother as one could get. From there, history was in for a lot of alternations.

» TENEBRAE -------TALES OF SYMPHONIA: DAWN OF A NEW WORLD

The Centurion of Darkness, one of the eight elements, servant to Lord Ratatosk, Tenebrae is a well-mannered creature who governs over the element as well as those that used darkness as their element. Like the rest of the servants, he had been slumbering and rarely interacting with anyone outside of the small group as well as Lord Ratatosk. However, things would change when two humans would come along into the world of Ginnungagap, at first to warn Lord Ratatosk of the world's mana crisis, though things would escalate, resulting in one human in being killed, driving the other to kill the summon spirit. Lord Ratatosk was reduced to his core state, and before the remaining human could destroy it, Tenebrae had awoken, taken the core, and fled to the surface to save him.

Meeting Marta on the surface, who wanted to keep the core of Ratatosk safe from the Vanguard who also wanted the summon spirit's core, Tenebrae would team up with her, developing a kind of admiration for the girl. When they were separated in the city of Palmacosta during what would become known to history as 'the Blood Purge', Tenebrae would come to find Marta with a fake core attached to her forehead, and the real core had taken on a human guise so as to hide in plain sight. Understanding the situation, Tenebrae wouldn't reveal any of this to Marta, or, later on, to the man called Emil until nearly the end, who would turn out to be the guise of Ratatosk... in the image of the last human he killed.

Filled with information and facts, Tenebrae had proven to be both an infallible source of knowledge as well as brimming with useless facts. Oftentimes he'll inform the group of tidbits of knowledge (whether they wanted it or not), though there are times that his spiteful side would make him less than helpful.

» CAPTAIN BENJAMIN FRANKLIN “HAWKEYE” PIERCE -------M*A*S*H

Born and raised in Crabapple Cove, Maine, Hawkeye is the son of Dr. Daniel Pierce, and an only child. His nickname "Hawkeye" was given him by his father, taken from the name of a character in the novel The Last of the Mohicans, the only book Hawkeye's father ever read. He doesn't remember much about his mother, as she had died very early in his life, and it's little wonder that he is as close to his father as he is.

After his medical residency in Boston, Hawkeye is drafted into the Army and assigned to the 4077th MASH (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) during the Korean War. Between long, intense sessions of treating wounded soldiers, he makes the best of his life in the isolated Army camp by indulging in heavy drinking, carousing, and pulling pranks on the people around him, particularly Majors Frank Burns and Margaret Houlihan, which later on would include Major Charles Emerson Winchester III, when Frank leaves.

Hawkeye proved time and again to be an excellent surgeon, which was rewarded by Colonel Blake when he was reluctantly appointed Chief Surgeon, much to Frank and Margaret's disgust; a warranted visit from General Barker eventually convinces him that Blake made the right decision. He has a very strong moral code, and often questions the validity of the war and why they're all there in the first place. He loathes racism and is angered whenever someone else uses ethnic slurs.

» LEO -------JUNGLE TAITEI/THE NEW ADVENTURES OF KIMBA THE WHITE LION (1989)

Strong, passionate about freedom and justice, and never backing down from what he believes to be right, Leo is a fierce lion who tries to be friendly as well as offer advice as needed. However he wasn’t immune to flaws - he has one hell of a temper when pushed to the brink, as well as indecisive when it comes to whether following his father’s teachings or doing it his own way. Sometimes he struggles with the identity that animals associate him to (his father’s) and his own.

Leo is an rarity among all lions - like his father Panja, he was born with a white coat. With only a tuft of black at the end of his tail and the tips of his ears black, he was the spitting image of his own father. However, Leo would never meet his father and would only know his mother for a short time. Before he was born, Leo’s father had been the ruler of the jungle, always thwarting humans that would dare come to his territory to hunt his subjects as well as keeping order and harmony. But his pelt was greedily sought for by many poachers, which more often than not was the reason they would come to the jungle in the first place. This event would happen before Leo's birth.

Born on a human ocean ship that was taking his mother overseas in the hopes that the cubs she bore would have the father's white coat, Leo had only known that small world for a much shorter length of time. Eriza would tell him stories about his father, how strong and brave Panja was as he would protect the innocent and would do everything in his power to do right. This would fuel Leo’s morals as he wanted to be just like his father, and even when he did eventually make it back to the jungle, his mother's stories would still inspire him, despite much of his early memories growing hazy over time and age.

» SOREN (BOOK INTERPRETATION) -------GUARDIANS OF GA'HOOLE

Soren, a male barn owl, (Tyto alba), leader of “The Band”. Soren was born in the Kingdom of Tyto, where he lived with his father, Noctus, his mother, Marella, his older brother, Kludd, his younger sister, Eglantine, and the family’s nest snake Mrs. Horace Plithiver. He was snatched by patrols from St. Aegolius Academy for Orphaned Owls after somehow falling from the nest, a terrible place filled with owlets that were similarly snatched from their families, most never having been orphaned. The purpose of this 'academy' was to moonblink owlets and making them do many various tasks as mindless slaves, from hatching snatched eggs to picking apart pellets to find what were called 'flecks'. He later escaped with his friend Gylfie and together the two met Twilight then Digger before journeying to the Great Ga'Hoole Tree.

It's later revealed, after rejoining with his nest maid Mrs. Horace Plithiver, or better known as Mrs. P., that Kludd had pushed him out of the nest on purpose. And it would be much later on that killing a member of one's family was part of the initiation process of joining the Pure Ones. And someday, Soren would come face to face with his brother, who had achieved much more ambition since officially joining the Pure Ones, under the alias Metal Beak after having taken over as leader of the Pure Ones, with his mate and second-in-command, Nyra.

After joining the the owls of the Ga'Hoole Tree, Soren and the band were put into groups of owls that were named 'chaws', each chaw specialized in specific talents. The Barnowl was double-chawed in weather interpretation and colliering, meaning that he was to not only learn how to fly in any weather, but to also learn to collect coals so as to stoke the fires of the Ga'Hoole Tree. This would be when he would soon be taken under wing by the ryb (teacher) of this particular chaw, Ezylryb.

» GIN -------GINGA NAGAREBOSHI GIN

Gin, second-generation leader of the Ou Army, inheriting the position from his father Riki after the battle with Akakabuto and his massive army of bears. Gin is a silver-brindled Akita dog, which are some of the most prized dogs to track and kill bears, said to be the strongest of the Akita dog breeds. The man that had raised Riki and the whole line that Riki had descended from, known as Grandfather by many, had taken Gin as a puppy to train him after losing Riki down a chasm while hunting down the massive murderous bear known as Akakabuto. Enduring many months of tough training that many wouldn’t considering putting a dog through much less a pup, Gin had grown into a strong young dog. He was just as determined to defeat Akakabuto as Takeda Gohee (Grandfather), for killing his father.

Soon following comes the event where Gin would come across a pack of wild dogs that were gathering recruits for their army, as ordered by their mysterious leader. One of the generals known as Cross would tell him to go home, but Gin was determined to join the pack, eventually able to meet the leader. It was with great surprise that it was his own father, Riki! However, the leader had suffered from loss of memories due to the fall in the chasm, only holding onto the vague memories he had of the fight with Akakabuto. After the end of the war with Akakabuto, Gin is now the leader of one of the greatest pack of Japan, having gathered some of the best fighters that had joined to bring down the strongest and dangerous bear. There was now only peace…

Gin is a natural born leader with a lot of charisma, known for being brave and strong. He has a strong sense of justice and wants to protect his friends and all those who are unable to protect themselves. He isn't afraid to die for his friends or his mission that he believes in. Mostly due to the training during young age, he became more mature than most dogs of his age and is mentally strong and unlikely to give up, which means that he isn't all that playful and tends to be quite serious. Though he can sometimes joke around with close friends like Smith, even if it's done a more shy way, given that it doesn't come as naturally to him.

» LARA CROFT -------RISE OF THE TOMB RAIDER

Resilient, strong-willed, open-minded, Lara Croft has come a long way from the days where she didn't believe in the supernatural and had been a far more timid but energetic girl; several events had come to help her open her eyes to the world on a far larger scale and come to accept that the world is far more than the modern day will reveal. She is confident with her ability to adapt and respond to situations, especially in a life-and-death situation where it would have otherwise killed someone else.

It's not to say that she doesn't have issues that would come having to experience everything that she had. Lara is always fighting with her personal demons at having to kill in order to survive, though she will always rationalize it in the mere fact that if she hadn't done as she had, she wouldn't be alive today, and would do so again, especially when her friends are in trouble - after having lost her mother to an illness, and then her father through the actions of the organization called Trinity, she has come to deeply care for those that she grows close to.

She has but one main purpose for all the travels she endures; to thrawt the same organization that had killed her father and framed it as a suicide, though it's not as simple as wanting revenge. This organization is dangerous because they have goals to change the world, and they would do it with any means of an artifact that holds such powers. If she can reach the artifact first and keep it out of their hands, it would be plenty enough until she can start wiping out the cells of the organization, however she can.

» ALEX FIERRO -------MAGNUS CHASE AND THE GODS OF ASGARD (PERCY JACKSON UNIVERSE)

Alex Fierro is a gender-fluid einherji, a child of Loki, and an astonishingly powerful shapeshifter. When he first arrives in Hotel Valhalla—identifying as male at the moment—he turns into a cheetah, destroys his room, and attacks his new hall mates. Later, she (female now) transforms into a weasel and tries to escape the hotel. She finally appears in her human form: a hauntingly attractive teenager of slender build with facial features that closely resemble Loki’s, minus the scars. She wears layers of pink-and-green clothes—skinny green pants, a pink-and-green sweater-vest, rose-colored high-top sneakers, and a second sweater, also pink, tied around her waist. Her hair is green with black roots, and she has one dark brown eye and one amber-colored eye.

Alex’s parentage arouses suspicion at first, much as her half-sister Samirah al-Abbas’s did when she first came to Hotel Valhalla. In time, Alex proves herself to be a trustworthy addition to floor nineteen’s group. She’s a fearless fighter, wielding her weapon of choice—a garrote made from a wooden-handled clay-cutting wire—with terrifying efficiency. She helps Sam to see her own shapeshifting ability as an asset and to resist their father’s mind control. After years of being shunned for who she is, Alex holds most people at arm’s length. But she comes to trust Magnus, and ultimately allows him to get closer to her than anyone has for a long time.

» MERLIN JAMES MACKINTOSH QWILLERAN (QWILL) -------"THE CAT WHO..." BOOK SERIES BY (LATE) LILIAN JACKSON BRAUN FACECLAIM;;ARAKAWA (THE MELANCHOLY OF HARUHI SUZUMIYA)

Qwill is a resident of a place called Mooseville (400 miles north of everywhere), his past work history including being a crime reporter and writing news columns in many major cities, as well as an author to the book "City of Brotherly Crime". He had only recently become a millionaire (or billionaire) from a fluke of his family's friend leaving him as her sole heir upon her death. However, he had retained his thrifty tendencies and is reluctant to spend the money on himself.

Setting up what's called the Klingenschoen Foundation to distribute his wealth among the community, the town is ever improving and hails him as a local hero despite being previously an outsider. Now he's a column writer for the recent newspaper owned by his best friend Riker (whom in which was at the behest of Qwill) called the "Moose Country Something", posted two times a week and often always in need of a new story.

Koko, his ever extraordinary cat, is a well-known figure among the police force and Qwill's close friends. Digging into cases that stumps the police force, he had been able to solve many cases, some in which were thought to be closed years before, having Qwill follow the clues and leads Koko would reveal, all the while not showing more than catly whims. It is unclear to the poor human whether it's all just coincidences, or if the cat is smarter than he'd ever know.

» ACORNA -------"ACORNA THE UNICORN GIRL" BY (LATE) ANNE MCCAFFREY AND MARGARET BALL

An alien girl found drifting in an escape pod in space as an infant, she was raised by three human asteroid miners, Gil, Rafik and Calum, who would all regard her at first a curiosity before coming to love her as a shared daughter. They would name her Acorna, partly because of the growing golden spiral of horn on her forehead as well as the quatrant of space they’ve found her, where they named mineral-bearing asteroids with the letter ‘A’. Her deformities were unique to humans; the horn, her cloven feet, furred legs as well as her four fingers that lacked a third joint were all part of what seemed to be her unique being.

In the very short years that her foster fathers were caring for her, she had been targetted by several various people for their own reasons. Scientists wanted to study her, doctors wanted to "fix" her deformities, and even Rafik's own uncle wanted to have her as part of his collection of rarities. But she had grown up far faster than anyone could imagine, including reaching her maturity at around a mere five years. Those that sought her out, only a few of them would want to have her on their side for the good of others.

This would lead her to meeting another very successful man by the name of Delszaki Li, who wanted her to be the center of the plan to eliminate child labor on his world Kezdet - this, in which, would ultimately be her true beginnings of her legacy that went beyond her mere strange appearance. After the cruel practice had finally broken up and freed the children to be taken to a new home that would help them learn to live a true life, Acorna found that she had truly made a difference. And she'd only want to continue to do so, even when the search for her people would be on everyone's minds.

» ELIZA THORNBERRY -------THE WILD THORNBERRIES

Eliza is a young girl who has a family that travels the world, their quest to find animals for their parent's show "Nigel Thornberry's Wild Show", to share the wonders and facts about these amazing animals to the rest of the world. Elixa is the youngest sister, with her sister Debbie who's five years older. They are also accompanied by the wild child they named Donnie, and a chimpanzee that's named Darwin. This particular child had always ever known the comveee life of traveling and has extensive knowledge on animals thanks to her parents. In all definition, she's a nerd, right down to having braces and glasses.

But there is one secret that she has, one that she must keep to herself from other people if she wants to keep the power; the ability to talk to animals.

Making friends with animals had become a lot easier when one could understand them, and they in turn knows that there was one enthusiastic human that would listen to them. Sometimes, this power had brought more trouble than good; predators attempting to take advantage of her, involving the young girl in troubles that she'd be well over her head with.

There is only one other person that had come to know her secret (a struggle that had briefly rendered her without this power), and that's her big sister Debbie. The teen has always had trouble understanding her younger sister and her obsession with animals, not when she's struggling with wanting to be normal. But now? She sort of understood, especially when her sister had lost the power in order to save Debbie's life.

» LUCIFER MORNINGSTAR -------LUCIFER (NETFLIX SERIES)

The Devil, Satan, Old Scratch, Lucifer is known by many names, all feared and hated by humanity (except for the better minded individuals who don't blindly follow his father's little book). Having been forced to rule Hell for countless millennium when his take-over for Heaven had failed, resulting him to be banished, he longed to break free of this forced imprisonment. And one day, it would bring him to Los Angeles, becoming the owner of his own nightclub that he named Lux. His closest friend, personal bodyguard and longtime servant, Mazikeen, would follow him out, devoted to the fallen angel though determined to return him to Hell one day... for his own good, as well as the good of keeping Hell in check. With excessive reluctance, she would cut off his wings when ordered to.

The last few years, he had made himself a reputation, all the while not even attemptin to hide who he was from the world. Most humans assumed that either he changed his name to 'Lucifer Morningstar' so as to make his club all the more interesting, or his parents were anti-Christ supporters, which in either case amused him. However, even while he parties hard and has certainly kept his bedroom skills regularly tested, Lucifer is and always has been a punisher. The wicked needs to be punished; this was perhaps one of the reasons he was sent to Hell, not just because he tried to overthrow his father.

Circumstances worked in his favor as, when one of those that made a deal with him long ago returned to thank him for all he's done for her had been shot and killed in a drive-by, it would eventually lead him directly in the path of one Detective Decker. Instantly intruiged by her and her ability to resist his ability of persuasion that had made almost every being except angels to reveal their deepest, darkest secrets, he'd also secure himself a spot as a 'civilian consultant', working with the police, though more specifically, with Chloe.

» RICHARD B. RIDDICK (RIDDICK) -------PITCH BLACK // THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK

Riddick is a man of many skills, with a reputation that makes him a highly wanted criminal in all the universe, enough where the bounty on his head is within a million's worth. Yet he won't hide what he is, going so far as to introduce himself as 'escaped convict, murderer', just to keep people on their toes. He has no desire to get close to people; everyone he'd dare to care about often gets killed despite his best efforts, so he'll keep everyone at an arm's distance.

Born a Furian on the world Furya, his people would be massacred on whole by a Necromonger that was warned that a male Furian would be his downfall; Riddick has dim memories of the events, of being strangled with supposedly his mother's umbilical cords and left among the bodies. It's unclear who had found him and taken him off-planet to raise him, and he pushed those memories deep down where he had almost forgotten them until later on, when facing the very same Necromonger who became the leader of the Necromongers.

As soon as he was old enough, he joined the Company as a ranger, learning to pilot ships and to be a sweeper (those who worked in the tunnels to draw out hidden predators). He quickly earned his promotions to join the Strikeforce academy, learning to be an efficent soldier. But the more he worked for the Company as an enforcer, the more corruption he found, and had attempted to speak out against them with evidence to boost. Needless to say, the evidence was destroyed and he was sent off to prison called Deep Storage. This was where his criminal life began, and within the next few years, he escaped the prison and earned his first million credit bounty. He'd since then been on the run, dodging mercs and bounty hunters, oftentimes captured and sent to a prison only to escape it later. Riddick had killed enough people to earn the fear of one prison system that wouldn't want him in their system again.

At some point, he came to be hunted once again after hiding out on a world of literal ice and snow, learning that this bounty was put on his head by someone he thought he could trust. Events would follow that it was an attempt to get his attention and to recruit him into the struggle against the very people that had killed most of his own kind... one he had refused at first. That it wasn't his fight. Yet... fight he did, and while it was because of him that the Necromongers would be stopped by their very rule, "You keep what you kill", it came with a very heavy cost.

He was leader for a brief time with the Necromongers, but within the next few years, he'd disappear once again, leaving the throne for Vaako to take. No one knows why he left.

No one knows what this meant. Except, perhaps, that the hunt was on yet again for the bounty on his head that never went away. Just no one was foolish enough to attempt to take it until he was no longer surrounded by an army.

» RAVENPAW -------"WARRIORS" BY ERIN HUNTER

As a kit born in ThunderClan, Ravenpaw had great ambitions to become just as amazing as a warrior like the older cats. Almost every kit would hope to be the greatest warrior, perhaps even become leader of the clan one day. When his sixth moon had come, making him old enough to become an apprentice and have his name changed from Ravenkit to Ravenpaw, he was given perhaps the most strongest warrior of the clan as his mentor, Tigerclaw. While the great warrior would push him hard in training, Ravenpaw had been honored to have someone like Tigerclaw. He strived as hard as he could to be the best apprentice he could be for the tom, aware that praises would be few and far between.

But the honor would change to horror when, during a skirmish with RiverClan over a patrol in trying to reclaim Sunning Rocks as part of ThunderClan's territory once again, Ravenpaw witnessed a terrible crime. Even though the deputy of the clan, Redtail, had managed to kill the deputy of RiverClan Oakheart, driving the rest of the RiverClan patrol away, Tigerclaw had ordered Ravenpaw to run back to their camp to get help. Sneaking back, just to make sure that his mentor and the deputy were okay, he'd watch as Tigerclaw would suddenly attack Redtail, killing him with no remorse.

Ravenpaw would come to live in terror ever since returning back to camp, unable to tell the clan what he had witnessed, barely managing to get out that Redtail was dead before collapsing. When he would come to, Tigerclaw had returned, dragging Redtail with him, and proclaiming that during the skirmish with RiverClan that Oakheart was the one to kill the ThunderClan deputy, and that Tigerclaw had been the one to kill Oakheart. Unable to tell the truth now that his mentor had established his story, Ravenpaw could only pretend that he was still oblivious like the rest of the clan... but there was no way to be certain that he was truly safe.

» MAPLESHADE -------"WARRIORS" BY ERIN HUNTER

Mapleshade was once a loyal apprentice and a bold and skillful warrior of ThunderClan. It was believed by some that she would be leader one day. However, she made the tragic mistake of falling in love with a cat from RiverClan, named Appledusk. She kept this a secret by meeting him near the river, sneaking out at night with no cat noticing, but then one day she gave birth to his kits. The medicine cat Ravenwing eventually deduced that Appledusk was the father of Mapleshade's kits, which caused an uproar to ThunderClan and they banished Mapleshade and her kits from the Clan forever for betraying the warrior code. The former ThunderClan warrior had no choice but to cross the river along with her kits, but the swelled water swept them away. Mapleshade almost drowned trying to save them, but they were already gone even as a cat, Appledusk, had found her and dragged her to the other side. To her horror Appledusk blamed her for the accident. He wanted nothing more to do with Mapleshade, and RiverClan refused to let her stay, not even for just one night.

Alone now, from ThunderClan, RiverClan, and even Appledusk, the cat she loved most, Mapleshade had no choice but to live as a rogue. She felt a strong sense of hatred for RiverClan and ThunderClan, for the way they treated her. Her kits, too, were haunting her as spirits, crying out to her in wails without ever answering her. Deciding that this was a sign that she needed to take revenge, especially when a sympathizing apprentice who found her sick and had brought her herbs revealed some distressing news, the former warrior had sought out the three cats that had been the worst offenders - Ravenwing, the ThunderClan medicine cat that ousted her secret before its time, then afterwards Frecklewish, the ThunderClan warrior that could have helped her drowning kits but had chosen to do nothing, and finally Appledusk, for betraying her when she needed him most.

Ravenwing and Frecklewish had both been killed, catching the medicine cat at the Moonstone before killing her former friend the next day at Snackrocks with one of the adders trapped in the rocks. Capturing Appledusk’s apprentice Perchpaw to bring the RiverClan warrior to search for the young cat, she revealed herself and challenged him to a fight after accusing him for not saving their kits, which he said it was her fault, though he refused to fight initially. It was only when his pregnant RiverClan mate Reedshine came along and sent Mapleshade into a fury that he dodged into the she-cat’s claws when she attempted to kill Reedshine, killing him instead. His apprentice delivered a fatal bite to her neck, to which she would weaken and die even after fleeing the territory.

However... death was not the end for a vengeful spirit.

» FRANCIS -------FELIDAE

Francis is a very smart and cultured cat, very different from many other cats. He's involved in many adventures, because of his uncontrollable curiosity and desire to solve cases of murder that affect the cats community. Differently from many cats, Francis exhibits an exceptional intuit and intelligence that bring him to solve complicated cases to reveal the killer (or killers). One of his main features is that Francis doesn't hold back from personally facing the killer and has pointed how a true detective should ever have "sharp claws".

Francis has a pessimist mentality with great tenacity and morality, condemning the actions of many of the killers he has to face. This makes him a very complex being. He often shows witty moments of hilarity even when facing danger.  Francis also has a complex view of right and wrong. He does not condone killing but will kill to save his own life. During investigations he often approaches to understand the mentality of the murderers and despite condemning their action, Francis often pities when a being is turned into a monster by human actions or the hardness of fate.

In addiction to his deductive investigative skills, Francis often receive help from mysterious dreams that provide direct and/or indirect clues to solve cases. The reason and the origin of these dreams are never clearly explained and remains a mystery for Francis himself.
