[b]Tier:[/b] C-tier
[b]Damage Required to Defeat:[/b] C-tier
[b]Description:[/b] The youngest daughter of the Major Knight Aryan Gui, General of the wall, Ariana has always been filled with ambition. Since she was a young squire, she had desired to be as influential as her father. She saw both her older brother and sister join the crusades when they had started, she had seen her brother fail to return and heard her sister had gone missing. From this circumstance and ambition, she found her resolve to explore the world and to understand what had taken her family.

Fighting against the wishes of her father, she is more than anything eager to prove herself. With a slender frame, light blue hair, and a dreary expression she was considered a beauty by many of the people of Sasan. While against their wishes she had trained in the arts of warrior, for she was not blessed by the rukh like most of her family.  Turning her back home she has left Sasan, and for the past two years she has gone to try and find her own way. While she plans to return, for now she explores to find both strength and meaning. She did not leave empty-handed, however, for her father crafted her a special sword and armor to keep her protected.

Now with a ruby blade, this mysterious but ambitious woman moves with a cool head. Who knows where she may end up next in her life? The only morals she knows are those of Sasan, with a mind fresh and open to the world, alone looking for a companion to provide proper guidance.

[b]Name:[/b] Ilerioluwa, The Promised King
[b]Tier:[/b] A-tier
[b]Damage Required to Defeat:[/b] A-tier
[b]Description:[/b] Illeri was one of the few cursed by fate's blessings. Not once in his life had he turned his back on the path laid before him. From birth, the young fanalis was met with prophecy, while many would discredit such ravings, the word of his tribe's seer of its priestess had said the rukh blessed him to be a king. To lead the people of Carthago, and other fanalis to a higher calling. They saw him, amongst three other read heads, with sigils of gold. Each another fabled ruler, one to rise with him in a Tetrarchy over the dark continent. He believed these claims, but not without foolish warning. So for twenty-six years, he has spent his time in his hometown Obe, stretching connections and training his body. Now, having secured his say over his own land, he has begun to wander in order to find more supporters.

Illerio is a stubborn man, set in his ways from years of having to be strong. With the praises, he was lauded came a heap of expectations. Demands of him to be better than the rest, a shining example for what his people could be. He needed to be assertive, to be firm in his ways for his people to be respected. Now seeing the world he sees how flexibility may be necessary as well. While he keeps his stoic nature firm, he is inquisitive about the workings of those he meets. The only one that can fully sway him is himself, and if there is a desirable trait in another he does his best to emulate it. He is a man of honor, even if he hasn't always been treated with it. Such as when he spared the life of a man who had disfigured his face when he was a boy. A red magician who crossed their lands had left burns across his face and upper torso.

The scars on his body are covered by a trademark scarlet robe with more saturated shoulder and head wrap. With his face completely sealed away from prying eyes by a mask of red stone, gold, and clay. Even atop his wrap and mask is a large, drooping red hat that acts as a sort of a ceremonial crown. His form is rather small with all of his clothing, and the fact that he stands only stands at 152cm. Despite a pint-size, this fanalis is resolute, hardened by his struggle and fight. Still, he considers himself a good man, for while he follows fate the only faith he holds is in the desire to create a more peaceful world. For the fanalis to have a home as brilliant as they all could be.

He is capable of running at A-tier speeds and has A-tier strength as racial benefits from being a fanalis.

[b]Name:[/b] Gel Malan
[b]Tier:[/b] D
[b]Gender:[/b] male
[b]Personality:[/b] Gel Malan is a skeleton of mystique and intrigue. Being a skeleton it is hard to read his emotions so he makes sure to reveal his emotions through his movements. When he is cheerful or just generally in a good mood he has a bit of a skip to his saunter or will be particularly chatty. When he is upset or angry he tends to make as little noise as possible and just stares at the subject of his scorn.

He talks not through speaking but a series of clicks or chattering of his teeth and bones as well as making signs or gestures with his limbs which ends to take a while to understand and be capable of interpreting. He tends to not talk about himself but about nature, animals and people that he meets being someone who is quite sociable despite being a skeleton. He is also fueled by the desire to find out who he once was and become a being who is not reliant on having a master to be "alive".

When there is danger he will make sure that he is the type to stay away mostly due to not having any memories of combat experience and having no way to defend himself.
[b]Hair Color:[/b] fell out ages ago due to balding
[b]Eye Color:[/b] missing
[b]Height:[/b] 2m
[b]Weight:[/b] 9kg
[b]Appearance:[/b] He is a spooky scary skeleton! Gel Malan is a hunched over skeleton from years of carrying heavy packs and developing poor posture. He is not one that is cherished for his looks sadly. Despite his undead appearance Gel Malan wears pristine clothes of red and blues, clothes of a explorer and merchant. He wears gold rimmed spectacles and white gloves as further accessories. He is often seen with a wardrobe like object with a chest on it as well as a pipe in his hand that is always lit despite not having lungs to smoke from it.
[b]Rukh Alignment:[/b] white
[b]Traits:[/b] [i]Explorer's Wardrobe:[/i] Gel Malan is known most specifically for the 2x1 meter wardrobe that he carries on his back with a .5x.5meter chest on top. This allows the leader of Gel Malan to store two weapons or magic items in the containers one for the wardrobe that cannot exceed the wardrobes dimensions as well as one for the chest with the same limitation. The items stored this way can only be accessed if replaced with a current item in the leader's possession.
[b]History:[/b] Gel Malan was an ancient explorer who existed during the times of the 5 Kings of the ancients. He was quite well known but records of his exploits are limited as most have been erased or forgotten, who knows where the existing records are now. Yet there is still some mentions of him in various books of exploration. Supposedly He went on an expedition to the Dark Continent just to never be seen again, one of history's well known mysteries.

Now there is a skeleton that appeared a few decades back where clothes of an a bygone era as well as lugging around a large wardrobe. No one knows quite for certain who this skeleton is who where it came from but those who had initially found him named him after the ancient explorer based solely for humor. Since then Gel Malan the Skeleton has been following those he considers to be the leader of his exploration party till they die or abandon him. Some have seen him as a trusting companion while others saw him as a wonder that they quickly grew tired of. He can often be found on the side of a road with plants growing on him or just walking in circles if no one is the leader.

It is uncertain how this skeleton is alive and able to move but the popular theory is that he is a reanimated skeleton with someone's rukh implanted. THe other being that he is a dungeon beast but do to how long ago he was found that is unlikely. He has no memories of his past or even if he is the man the named him after or not. He has always wanted to pursue his history but none have bothered to pay much attention to what his clicks and gestures meant so he was forced to keep serving unable to wade through the murky waters of his past.

[b]Name:[/b] Old Turtle Sage Bi Xi Long
[b]Gender:[/b] Male
[b]Personality:[/b] Bi's experiences have made him patient and ponderous. It is rare to ever see the elder turtle rush or hurry if the situation does not demand it. He likes to think carefully and will always urge others to do the same before making important decisions. The turtle sage dislikes violence and waste most of all. He has been known to stick his nose into the fights of others attempting to end the conflict and offering to play the role of mediator to resolve things with words. Bi Xi Long is no pacifist however and seems to become much more ruthless and cold when pushed into fighting.

This calculating and emotionless side of Bi resembles the appearance of an animal operating on instincts. Though he does not take on an aggressive demeanor, Bi will not hesitate to cripple or kill those who cross his bottom line and approach with malicious intent. As long as the other party is willing to back down however, Bi will return to his amicable old man expression in an instant and offer his former opponent a cup of tea to discuss their differences over.

In almost any given situation Bi's primary goal and focus is to maintain a peaceful and carefree life without worries, but he has a secondary purpose that flares up from time to time. The turtle sage very much admires talented youth's and enjoys dedicating himself to patiently guiding members of the next generation into helping them meet their full potential.

[b]Eye Color:[/b]  Purple
[b]Height:[/b] 4'10" | 147cm
[b]Weight:[/b] 246lbs | 112kg
[b]Appearance:[/b] The Old Turtle Sage is short and stocky with dark gray scales covering most of his body. The scales differ in shade depending on hardness, the lighter scales being softer and more vulnerable. The brighter scales span from his jaw down to his torso and the inside half of his limbs. The torso portion is usually covered however by his large natural shell. Bi doesn't just walk around naked, thankfully. A blue cloth waits wrap and a similarly blue scarf adorn the elder turtle giving him some modesty. He also wears a satchel openly  that has three bottles attached to its strap.
[b]Rukh Alignment:[/b] White
[b]Special Traits:[/b] Scales, Shell, Tail
[b]History:[/b]
[spoiler]Bi Xi Long was born to a family of plainsfolk who were forced to flee their homeland when the Kou empire first began to expand its borders. The couple brought their newborn son to Balbadd where they hoped to find a better life. The couple struggled at first, their nomadic way of life and the skills suited for it being at odds with the ways of the city. But in time they managed to establish themselves as a reliable sailor in Bi's father and a skilled seamstress in his mother. As the young Bi grew, it became clear that he was an energetic and curious child. He was always running into the slums and stirring up trouble with the local orphans and poking around the marketplace annoying the stall owners with all sorts of questions about the exotic goods they had for sale.

Bi's parents were at a loss for what to do until one day his father brought home a thick book. It was an expensive thing for a mere sailor, an encyclopedia of various plants and animals from around the world. But when he brought it home for Bi the child became glued to it as if he'd just found a long lost bosom buddy. Bi read the book inside out and ten times over with great interest. Seeing that the rambunctious boy finally calmed down, his parents begin bringing Bi more books and soon his life was immersed in texts.

At age 10 he was sent to apprentice with a merchant known for having an extensive library and spent seven years spending half the year abroad on trade expeditions helping out around a ship and the other half back in balbadd where he spent his days learning about managing business and stealing time for himself in the library indulging his love of books. The apprenticeship came to an end however and with some help from the merchant, Bi got his own ship and set out to lead his own trade expedition. He led an exciting life making risky voyages and fighting off pirates. Once a year he would return home and regale his parents with eager retellings of his adventures. It was a good time for him but nothing can last forever.

When Bi returned home one year he found that his familiar home had been taken by unfamiliar people. His dear parents were no where to be found. He used his old friendships from the slums to get some information and found out that life his parent's had built for him was built on debts and promises that couldn't be kept. Bi's parents were captured and taken as slaves in the middle of the night by unsavory people a few months ago. Bi was already too late, but he still gave chance anyways.

Out of a deep sense of duty to his parents, Bi liquidated all of his wealth and set out to find his parents. His travels took him all across the world chasing down the trail of the slavers. Bi fought against many evil men and saved many innocents but the location of his parent's always seemed to elude him. As the years went on he became impatient and agitated. He stopped being careful and started to just kill his way into the slaver dens, high on the adrenaline and confidence of a young man in the prime of his youth. If only he had been more careful that night. If only he noticed that he had gone too far with his slaughter. If only he realized that the room full of dead slaves he'd stumbled across at the last den wasn't just some weird act of brutality by the slavers.

Another night, another den of scum. Bi charged in alerting the slavers of his presence with an vengeful howl. He killed his way in through a flurry of flesh and bone. It was all a blind blur of movement and mass. Before he knew it, the last slaver was dead under his sword. Bi then swept the rooms as he always had. Another room full of dead slaves. Were were the live ones? He didn't think to ask. He was only looking for his parents. That's when he saw her. There among the bodies. He hadn't recognized her with her throat split open. His mother.

Bi cried that night for the first time in many years. He blamed himself, of course. Got lost in drinking, squandered his wealth, and threw everything away hoping that at the bottom of each bottle he'd find a forgetfulness which could wash away what had happened. All he ever found there was a numbness that was good enough until he was sober. Bi became a wandering drunkard unsure of where he was going or why. Bi lost sight of himself and became a cruel hired arm, bruising up people who couldn't pay their debts or in some cases dragging them off to pay with their bodies. Some part of him knew that he was doing the same thing some bastard probably did to his parents. But Bi didn't let himself think about it, retreating to the wine whenever possible.

One day Bi was invited to one of his employer's estates. A Reiman Nobleman that managed illicit gambling as well as a thriving slave business as it was still many years before Reim's reforms. Bi accepted only to maintain his business relationship and because there would be free drinks. He sat off to the side by himself looking as approachable as a porcupine. An elderly slave walked up to pour him his cup of wine and froze. Bi got impatient and tapped the table. The slave was still standing there, now shivering. Bi got angry. He raised a foot and kicked the old man down causing the pitcher of wine to spill all over him.

Bi stood up and was about to go complain about the service when he heard a voice. It was raspy and worn by time, but it was familiar. "L-Little Bi? Is it really you?" His father asked weakly from the floor. Bi was stunned. He looked down at the white haired bearded man and in each passing moment  found more and more of his father there in that aged face. Bi had hardly realized his own age, let alone that so many years had swept by. The two men embraced and shed tears causing a scene. Bi bought his father from the Reiman noble and left.

As the two men told each other about what they'd been through Bi felt a rising guilt. He put off telling his father about his mother for as long as he could. But eventually he could no longer hide it. His father deflated, the lingering hope that his wife was still out there snuffed out. But there was no blame in his eyes when he looked at Bi. This was not salvation, but it was the beginning of Bi starting to fogive himself. After a night of drinks with his father, he swore off alcohol and set out on a journey back to where it all began. Back to the land where he was born. Though Kou now claimed sovereignty there, his father's memories still reigned supreme across the plains. Bi accompanied his father there to live out his final years.

Alas, those final years were not peaceful. His father developed an new illness. They called it Firelung because it made its victims feel like they were breathing flames. Bi was heart enough to survive the sickness but his father was not. Once Bi's father passed on it was time for Bi to move on as well. He honored his ancestors one last time before leaving for the Kou capitol where he established a new reputation as a worldly scholar. Bi returned to his love of books and expanded his knowledge. but this time it was with a purpose. He focused his research on herbs and medicines, hoping to find a cure for Firelung.

He spent two years studying the limits of Kou medicine before moving on to Heliohapt, and then to Reim, and even Imuchakk. Each time he arrived he would repeat the process of perusing their records and learning their myths, his eyes ever searching for new leads on a cure. In time, Bi became world renowned as a doctor of great healing prowess. Some even claimed he performed miracles or knew magic, but Bi would always insist that it was simply herbs and oils, nothing special. Decades passed and Bi found his life nearing its natural end. As an old man he tired greatly of conflict and war having seen it play out over an over all across the globe. No matter how many he could heal with his medicine, a single politician or lord with ambitions could set into motion events that claimed countless more.

Since he was soon to die anyways, Bi meandered into a dungeon out of curiosity, fully expecting to die. But instead he was fortunate enough to be offered a dungeon beast transformation that could greatly extend his lifespan. Bi was hesitant to accept. He had been everywhere and read from the worlds greatest libraries. There seemed to be little left to life for. Bi thought back on his life at that moment and in the end he gave out a bit sigh. Such a waste his youth had been. All fire and rush. No good sense at all. If only he had someone there to guide him all those years ago.

It was in that moment Bi realized his new purpose. He accepted the djinn's offer and became a Deepscale Tortoise in order to extend his lifespan and left the dungeon in high spirits. Now, at age 96, he travels the world in search of promising young saplings to mentor, his heart set on peace and living a carefree existence.

[spoiler=Racial Traits][b]Trait Name:[/b] Deepscale Tortoise Physiology
[b]Trait Tier:[/b] A
[b]Trait Requirement:[/b] Deepscale Tortoise Racial
[b]Trait Description:[/b] A creature known to live off the coasts of volcanic islands with deep surrounding waters. Despite being a tortoise, it is semi-aquatic and spends almost two thirds of its life underwater. Thanks to water magic it is able to move around swiftly underwater but on land it is a slow creature. Thus the Deepscale Tortoise has adapted to store water in its belly while on land and then convert it into mist when exhaling thanks to several pressure controlling valves in its throat. This produces a thick mist that can help hide the Deepscale Tortoise from predators. They also have a special diet that is heavy in minerals, obsidian being a favorite of the species.
[b]Trait Effect:[/b]
-D-tier speed on land, A-tier speed underwater through water magic.
-Natural shell protecting the torso provides A-tier armor. Every limb can retract into the shell to hide, but only three limbs at once.
-Darker scales covering the top of the head, outer half of the arms, front half of the legs, and the entirety of the tail are hardened. These darker scales provide an additional B-tier armor against physical damage. However, the lighter scales are especially soft and fragile taking double damage from physical damage. The scales provide no benefit against heat, cold, or other non physical means of damage.
-While on land a passive cloud of mist 10m in diameter will surround the Deepscale Tortoise for up to 4 posts. Drinking fluids will add one post to the duration of the mist for every D-tier serving ingested.
-Able to register 3 Water Magic abilities.

[b]Abilities:[/b]
[color=red][b]The first two abilities are free and do not count towards this NPC's total, or against the water magic slots. In order to fill out the rest of his ability slots, the owner of Bi Xi must complete a thread with him for each new ability obtained.[/b][/color]
[i]Breath of Mist[/i] ~ While on land Bi Xi inhales deeply and consumes a charge of water in order to release a heavy mist into the surrounding area. The mist expands to form a 40m dome centered on Bi Xi which reduces visibility down to 5m for those within.
[i]Numbroot Brew[/i] ~ Bi Xi pops open one of the bottles of green liquid on his strap. Instead of drinking the anesthetic directly, he siphons it off into his organ for storing water for respiration while on land.  The concoction applies its effects to the mist Bi Xi breaths and into any mist based abilities he uses for 4 posts. Bi Xi is immune to the effects of his own concoctions but may only use one at a time and using another overwrites it. Numbroot Brew applies a C-tier numbing effect which reduces movement speed for 2 posts. Each post spent inside the mist adds a C-tier stack to potency and resets the effect duration capping at A-tier numbing.
