Biography
Origins Pre-Fal'lain
Shengo was born in Asura Prefecture during the Heian Era. The area in particular was isolated but even the demons of the area were aware of the human wars being rage throughout other areas of the country. He was the eldest of the two children between Zeru and Lian. When the wars and human population began to spread, they were forced to flee Asura prefecture and venture into the Gaia Planar where they settled in uncharted territory. Lian never revealed her royal lineage to Shengo's father, but they formed a small academy for healing and science. Shengo's father was an apt alchemist, studying much in the ways of the elements and of kitsune magic. During this time, Lian fell ill from a supernatural illness. Panicked, Zeru did all he could to save her life to the point it drove him mad. When Lian died from the illness, he resurrected her which was the first time Lian had been brought back to life. At the end of Zeru's life, his body and mind weakened by the resurrection, Lian conceived a second child, Sakura who would later die during the Second take over of Fal'lain.
New Life in Fal'lain
Lian took Shengo back to Fal'lain to raise him amongst family but also, to give birth to his younger sister when the time came. It was a few months before Sakura was born that Fal'lain was taken over and Lian gave birth to his sister in a prison cell. He watched in horror as the barbarians came in, peeling the infant away from his mother's arms. It was something that he wouldn't forget and something he wouldn't necessarily forgive Lian later in life for being so weak to let her child be taken away. When Fal'lain recovered, Shengo continued his alchemy studies, working on pushing himself to greater levels than his father could achieve. He returned to Asura and worked to become a teacher of his father's academy. At 18 he graduated and became an educator. Now and then he would go back to Fal'lain to show what he learned and created a variety of new medicines which helped the country during times of foreign disease and keeping the family generally healthy.
The End of his Life
Shengo was on a sabbatical back to Fal'lain so he could help out with conditions at home. Lian had returned from Sigil to recover after a fight with her comrades there. He tried making his usual medicines but for the first time he found himself stumped at trying to help. When Arkravis came to Fal'lain, he wasn't sure what to think of him helping his mother where he couldn't but soon became fascinated with Avion culture through his sister's fiancee. While working on something in his alchemy lab at the palace, he combined a new element that reacted so violently it caused an explosion that brought down the structure of the room on top of him. Shengo lost half of his body from the accident, but could not die immediately due to his demon blood. He died before Lian was able to return to Fal'lain after the KB fight in Sigil. He was buried in the Royal family's graveyard in the traditional manner of his home country. He was cremated and his ashes buried next to his sister and Amantis' father.
Abilities: Non-Magic
Aikido--Shengo preferred non violent measures of self defense. Aikido uses tosses and pins to assure that he disables the opponent without killing them.
Naginata: A long bladed pole weapon. Not used often but Shengo brings it on explorative trips where using hand to hand may not be useful.
Abilities: Magic
Illusion--A natural ability of Kitsune to conceal their appearances while also being able to trick people. His normal targets are usually humans or unsuspecting family members, but he uses it mostly as defense. He can make a tree look like an ogre and use it to slip away.
Alchemy--A skill he learned from his time at the academy. He can manipulate solid elements and compounds like earth, metal, wood and ice to make new structures. It usually takes a minute to draw out the alchemic circle but with years of practice he's able to do it with increased speeds.
Kitsune-bi--A natural ability. He can use the fire to distract or use as an offensive measure.
Demon of Heat--Because of his ability to handle fire as a natural talent, Shengo chose the Demon of Heat. It allows him to create large flames and send the sky raining with kitsune blue fire. He never used it even up to the day he died.

Biography:
Origins in Fal'lain
Amantis Feaorne was born to Faeryniel "Lian" Fearone and Deaken (Last name Unknown) during ties of turmoil in Fal'lain. Before her conception, the first Demon War of Fal'lain had broken loose and was conceived at the Summer Palace before her parents were married. Faeryniel was the only known heir to the throne with Deaken having been one of the royal guards. The history behind King Deaken is still a mystery but before his passing, revealed his own origins as a Jotun, an Elven spirit of the far northern countries yet his appearance was so close to an elf, the family kept it a secret. While the royal family was in hiding, Amantis was born after the Lord Demon attacked the Summer Palace long after Marcus and Zander, the two that had ransacked Fal'lain, surrendered to a peaceful life. The Lord Demon scared the family out of the Palace, scattering them to the far woods and Lian while she was about to give birth was taking shelter from the cold rain with Zander.
Amantis was born in the cave shelter with help from Zander, the three of them meeting with the others. As the War tore up the land, sending it into Darkness, the Goddess bequeathed the royal family once they reclaimed the palace with the Royal Forge. For a while, they lived day to day peaceably and raised an army with time as the demons lay in wait for the right time to strike. When Ami was twelve, the first sword was forged that was deemed to have slain a thousand demons but sadly, not even the blessed forge could defeat the demons. Lian and Deaken with other members of the Royal Family agreed that they needed to get a hold of the book. After defeating the Lord Demon of the book, they seized the text and learned the ways of Dark Magic. Each member of the Royal Family selected a demon to hold a contract with in order to have better control and retain their religiously kept internal balance. Lian was given the Demon of the Quick Foot (Speed), Deaken the Demon of the Quick Shot (Accuracy in Combat) and Amantis, still just a child, The Demon of Tenor (Song). After they had accepted the contracts, Amantis was kidnapped by Gwendolyn, dragged through the palace and out the window with Lian and Deaken chasing her desperately. Amantis barely remembers how she got to the cave, but Gwendolyn had managed to possess her and use a sacrifice of a local farmer to attempt to make the possession permanent. Lian and Deaken managed to remove Gwendolyn from her body, leaving her just a spirit. With Others performing contracts, they were able to defeat the last of the Demons and seal the blackened soul of Gwendolyn into a mirror plane for eternity. Even with Gwendolyn's soul sealed, the last of the demons managed to deal a fatal blow to King of Elves and he fell in the woods protecting Lian and Ami. It was one of the most devastating moments of her young life and one today she still uses as a focus.
A Grand funeral was held and by the Fal'lainain Queen's hands, balance and peace were restored for generations to come until the Second War. The Second War happened suddenly when barbarians from the South raided Fal'lain, nearly burning the White Trees to the ground. They defeated the army in two nights and captured the population of the city and surrounding areas. For Five long years, Amantis, Lian and her youngest siblings Shengo and Sakura were subjected to physical slave labor, and countless nights in terror. Amantis remembers the night still when her youngest sister at the time had been snatched from Lian's arms after she had given birth, kicking and screaming. As tempers flared at the death of the child, Lian and General Caula, father of the current General Caulwai, raised an army of the defeated. They rebelled and defeated the Barbarians, sending them to slaughter and taking back Fal'lain. With the Royal family restored, Fal'lain was left to recover and heal for many years until it was decided that the Royal Courts would be disbanded temporarily to try to branch out Fal'lain's knowledge. Lian's own children were sent to different institutions to study, Amantis being sent to Madame Bellequa's despite her protests.
Life at Madame Bellequa's
At fifteen, Amantis had grown used to being taught within the palace walls and prison cells before and after the Barbarian take over of Fal'lain. Time passed enough that the outside world had developed far more than the city had itself and it was time to bring the outside world in. Amantis was sent to be educated at Madame Bellequa's Academy for Privileged Girls. There she was surrounded by young girls and women from all walks of life weather royal, political or extremely wealthy. She didn't get along very much, being from a closed back country kingdom and having been subjected to two brutal take overs of her home world. She was raised to be a delicate, educated young woman of breeding but yearned to return home. After spending years at Bellequa's, she managed to find friends who shared her feelings of loneliness, isolation and calling back to their respective home countries. Sadly, those girls would go on to graduate while she remained at Bellequa's for some time in their extended years education program until she was eighteen. She graduated at the near top of her class, honored in the multiple societies claiming her pedigree as a socialite, a young woman and a future leader.
Never had Amantis ran so fast to hug her family members. They celebrated her return by traveling to the sea, a first for them and a first trip Lian had used her hard earnings from studying as an engineer of prosthetic limbs. As time flew by, Amantis studied hard as she ascended to the throne with the reassembly of the Royal Courts and pushed harder to become an apt healer as well as an accomplished singer. In that time, the Courts had worked to find her worthy suitor to which, Amantis disagreed with entirely, preferring the challenge and the romance of love first. Many came, many tried but she turned them down one by one. Some even gotten physical with her first intimate experience was being cornered in the halls against a pillar against her will by the General of a former friend's home country. but her brothers put an end to it. After that event, she placed a challenge down that if any man could defeat her in a duel of swords, she would accept them as a worthy future husband. No man for years was a match for her in the ancient art of the two blades. For the longest time, many refrained from coming for a challenge in fear of being tossed out the third story window where the duels took place. For her efforts in juggling education and leadership, the courts granted her a sabbatical where she could apply her skills in real world situation like a clinic. Amantis borrowed funds from Lian and made her own clinic in Sigil.
Time in Sigil
Amantis had never been to such a large city. Even at Bellequa, it was so isolated in a small country town that she never really had the opportunity to socialize with the outside world greater than the Fal'lain city limits. She marveled at the many buildings and was fascinated with the different walks of life. Her clinic was a success and was close to where her mother worked so she didn't have to fear about being completely alone. During a time when her mother's clinic needed additional healers, she had come to help and found herself caring for her first ever alien life form named Alan Darius Meadia, a halfling Avion from Pastan. She cared for him, helping him after a poisoned dagger in the opposite side of his heart nearly killed him. She quickly got to know Tresondros and Lovi but did not remain close companions with them as she had Alan. During a Triad raid, Lian was killed in the crossfire after restoring the emergency power to the building and with both of her magics, performed the ritual to bring her back to life in the Fal'lain Corp company swimming pool.
In her gratitude, Amantis allowed him and others to stay at her Guildhall clinic to recover and rest easy. Over time, she got to know Alan very well and was introduced to Jiroo and Arkravis in their visit to Sigil to help with the Portals (in which time this was the first time Lian had met Arkravis). So well, she shared the most intimate parts of her with him during a night where they fell in love. Amantis had never felt so much love from someone so special and foreign to her. They shared many more physical and non-physical intimate moments, wrapped around each other's little fingers. It was decided not long that eternity together would be a way to preserve such a love and a light. After the portals in Sigil had been restored so that they could travel, Amantis and Alan traveled to Fal'lain after a fierce battle with the Mage Guilds that left relations with Amantis' mother very tense. She fretted, worrying that despite Alan's efforts to fix things, that Lian would say no. After a time, the bitter, tired retired queen finally said yes with some helpful guidance of none other than Alan's father, Arkravis.
Now they await the challenges of what the courts and other nations will bring as their wedding day approaches.
Abilities: Non-Magic
--Hand-to Hand--Amantis' hand to hand is not the strongest. The majority of her strength lies in her ability to out maneuver her opponents more so than over power and use force to stun. Common techniques include: Leg sweeps, front kicks, elbow strikes and knee strikes.
--Twin Blades--A common set of weapons used by Fal'lainan's, more specifically to the Feaorne family. The blades can be used in succession or together. As one blade partially complete's it's motion, the second is already in motion. As one sword is parried, the other can be used to attack. IT's combined with also a footing that allows not only the weapons to be used, but hand-to-hand if necessary. It's similar to Ba Gua which requires the movements of fluid but power-filled circles.
--Archery--One of the most basic skills and particularly Elvish. Normally used in competition or in long range attacks to avoid enemies with a preference to close combat.
Abilities: Magic
--Power of Song--The Primary of Amantis' abilities rely on her power of song. Depending on the song, the tone and pitch, she can heal, cause some destruction and summon. However some spells don't require song.
--Healing-- Amantis has a high skill for healing. It requires a broad knowledge of white magic, but also, she can use the power of song for it as well. Typically, she doesn't song unless it requires healing many people in a wide area, usually under a barrier.
--Barriers-- A strong defensive technique against various magic. Barriers can be made and expanded to cover a city district but no larger until it becomes a risk for the maker.
--Song of Pandemonium--The Songs of Pandemonium are several songs that either can deal an immense amount of healing in a wider projected area, spread the area of white magic or cause destruction using different songs. Amantis has been able to put a song to each of these phases.
-Song of the Maria: Song of the Maria is a wide stretching healing spell that pumps out an immense well of white magic to heal a wide spread area. The magic itself can restore otherwise unusable land and potentially, resurrect those near death.
-Song of Lament: Song of Lament A far reaching white magic spell that is a purge but also a barrier. It removes the unclean presences temporarily. If pushed far enough, Amantis can cause regrowth to occur in the soil rapidly. This song is performed at funerals to prevent any unwanted resurrections.
-Song of Pandemonium: Song of Pandemonium Is a shadow spell. Summoning the lesser demons of the book that she made her contract from, Amantis can move and manipulate the shadows as well as temporarily take control of summoned dead. In increased volume, the spell can be used as a physical destructive spell effective as a cannon, or a sonic scream.
Her magic can also be amplified by using additional magic users voice, including members of the Feaorne family:
Song of Harmony: Song of Harmony is an amplifying spell that can expand the radius of the area the spell effects. It has the ability to change a spell that usually might be a pea shooter and turn it into a full blown cannon. The spell can only be amplified after the amplifying song is complete and the second song must be sung.
Or specific members of the family who also have Demon Contracts:
Song of Mori: Sung with Yai as an Anti-resurrection spell and a barrier spell.
Song of Descent: A destruction spell with the intent to summon the higher leave demons of the book. It's a larger destruction spell, combined with Yai's instrument can also be used as a cannon-like destructive spell.
Song of Courage: Sung with Lian and Rosella as a healing spell and a means of amplifying the powers of a single magic user. Sadly only lasts a few minutes but it's effective for larger attacks that need to be done quickly.
Demon of Tenor--When Amantis made her contract, she decided to accept the Demon of Tenor, a sound demon that was focused on giving life to the dead. However, because the summoning of the undead is against Fal'lainian law, Amantis decided to alter the spells to make it so she could prevent the raising of the dead which was the common spell of the Lord Demon and Gwendolyn during the First Demon War. Today it's used less of a drastic effect and more of a restraint to prevent the healing magic and the white magic from going to far. It proved to be a good way to manage her internal balance until her fears upset the balance.

Biography:
Origins in Fal'lain
Lian, as she prefers to be called now, was born in Fal'lain after it's early founding by her Great Grandfather, Suiadan, the first proclaimed King of Fal'lain and of the the Elves of the White Forest. The origins of the early Elves before they had become Fal'lainians originated from the far north from the countries further north. They migrated south to escape the encroaching human population and raids, fleeing to the islands around it. They came across the white forest, designating it as a sacred place since the ancestry of the Feaorne family traced back to the origins of the first Elf, though there is still much speculation on that to this day. In addition, they make their ties to the Goddess Re'yah who represents the balance in the world of both dark and light. They came to the island, settling on the rocky coast before moving south toward where the White Forest was. It was there they settled to make their new homes and Kingdom. They were able to manipulate the trees themselves with early magic to make their homes, a technique that is practiced by few in Fal'lain today. Lian was born to Suiadan's daughter Gwendolyn, a name common in the area where they settled, and Argorn, the War Prince of the native Elves to the East. Lian was born with white hair, as was the common trait for women in the Feaorne line who's blood was blessed by the Goddess herself many years ago. Her mother, Gwendolyn, had been tainted since a young age by a book of Dark Magic. When Lian was 5, Gwendolyn attempted to teach her the ways of Dark Magic, but was so scared of it, she fled. It drew Gwendolyn to near insanity until the birth of her younger brother, Marcus, who was born tainted by the Book of Dark Magic. He was cast from the kingdom by Argorn and Gwendolyn died months after childbirth and the curse of the Book of Dark Magic cast upon her. Lian grew up as an only child, unaware of her younger brother who lived.
When Lian was sixteen (by human years), the Kingdom was attacked by a demon and his half-dragon partner, Zander, who used to be a good friend of Lian growing up. Argorn was decapitated, and Lian fled Fal'lain only to bump into Byrn Lamont who used to be a close family companion and a faithful guardian to the Feaorne family until his disappearance. They traveled around the countryside, seeking out help until they came across Lily, a half-dragonness (who would later marry and produce heirs with Byrn). They ventured back to Fal'lain, but were ultimately captured by the Demon and his partner. Lian had been dragged off, forced into preparing for a wedding which would have ended up with her own demise hadn't it been for Deaken, an elven soldier that had been infatuated with Lian since an early age. He freed both the dragons, broke Lian out of the Temple and the fled up the Glencoe river to freedom to safe haven away from Fal'lain.
The demon pursued them, making attempts to kill them, drive them mad and separate but they prevailed. In the end, the demon was sealed away and the half-dragon partner fled with their efforts. Lian wed Deaken, the elf who had saved her life. Fal'lain was at peace for a long time. The two had their first child, Amantis, and adopted many of the human children who had lost their families due to the demon's chaos. The demon was set free, but lost interest in Fal'lain since the country itself was still small at the time, settling in creating a new race that combined his demon's blood and that of a half-dragon to make his son, Alki. A new threat came when a dark spirit uncovered the Book of Dark Magic, freeing Gwendolyn's tortured soul to torment Lian and Deaken's family. The war between the demons of the book and Fal'lain was called "The War of the Dark". Eventually, the demon, whom was called Marcus was separated from his own demonic soul and his original body. It was discovered much later that Marcus was the lost prince who had been cast out by Argorn.
With a combination of efforts, the retrieval of the Book of Dark Magic and the learning of its inner workings, they sealed the demons back into the book and sealed the book away with Byrn as its forever guardian. Deaken, after the book had been sealed, was killed by one of the few demons who had not been sealed away. He died when Lian was nearly 18 (human years.) Lian ruled as a matriarch of the Feaorne household until the 1st disassembly of the Royal Court.
The First Disassembly and Entry into the Gaia Planar Worlds
Times were changing in Fal'lain. The country was beginning to expand and with its expansion, came new enemies. Lian had ventured outside of Fal'lain in order to bring in new ideas for the Kingdom, while leaving the Courts temporarily in charge of managing the country. By this time, the portals to other worlds were accessible but not as readily available as they are today. Lian traveled to the Gaia planar for the first time, discovering more and more magics. It was then she met the kitsune Alchemist Instructor, Zeru Phoenix, whom she developed a somewhat steady relationship with. She bore two children with him until his death, Shengo and Sakura. Lian returned to Fal'lain to recover after birthing Sakura when the 2nd conquering of Fal'lain occurred. A foreign nation of barbarians had invaded, taking few prisoners. In order for the heads of the country to understand their situation, they took infant Sakura and used her as an offering to one of their Gods. It left Lian in a terrible mental state. Eventually, she was able to break free and rally with the remaining members of the Army to take back Fal'lain and their glory. Lian was beginning to become more aware with the second infiltration of her Great Grandfather's country meant that Fal'lain needed to catch up with the rest of the world. To do so, the monarchy needed to be temporarily disassembled to allow them and many others to venture outside of Fal'lain's borders. Thus, the First Disassembly of the Royal Family occurred. Amantis was sent to a boarding school in which she could pursue a higher education than what the tutors provide, Shengo returning to his father's Alchemy Academy to learn more about the art. Lian herself locked herself in the many libraries of her home plane and learned about the different arts, particularly, in recreating prosthetic limbs, organs and parts that could function like the part of a normal body part, minus sensations of course.
Lian traveled around vastly, taking on a lover which resulted in Yai's birth, a boy who was presumed half-Tengu but it is still unknown to this day his father's origins. She settled down in the forests of another country to raise him alongside two Mao Mogwai brothers, Tao and Li Han. However, the area was under a mass threat. The humans were collecting various species in which to experiment to ready themselves for War. Lian was collected as well as the two brothers, but Yai narrowly escaped and fled back to Lian's home country for safety. Lian was introduced unwillingly to the cruelties that theses new sciences could offer. She never saw the two brothers again. Lian escaped with many of the others that were captured, and ventured into the safe harbor of the opposing forces. She adapted to life well around the soldiers of the Royal Army of this new nation. She learned about the flying machines called 'airplanes' and fell in love with the idea of traveling into the skies without the aid of magic, or with luck, a dragon or a pair of created wings. Lian became the first non-human pilot of many in the Royal Naval Air Force, serving for many years even when the first war ended and the second War began. She settled to ground life, being brought into the Army for her knowledge of just who and what the other side was like. She was asked to be an Inquisitor, but Lian had no idea of what lengths she would have to go in order to get the information. She learned quick the art of interrogation…and it was a bloody one. So much so, that with the surgical tools she used in the art, she was called "The Doctor Inquisitor" for the time she worked. When the second war ended, Lian retired from the Army and headed back to find the first portal that would take her back to Fal'lain.
Upon returning to the Gaia planar for the second time, Lian passed life by with wandering around, collecting information. She came across many different hubs of Gaia, including a bar that was full of demons. She had learned to blend in, taking on the form of a demon herself for a while and eventually changing from form-to-form for the joy of just not acting her usual self. Until it got her into a spot of trouble. She had acquired a bit of debt while traveling around, serving as a brothel-girl for a while in order to pay it back. It wasn't the most pleasant work, but it came with food and a bed. It was when she met the Vampire Lord, Songa from the country of Yakuda, was when she found herself enveloped in a world with the worlds. She served first as a concubine to his needs, then became his closest companion then wife. It was then that she was given a new name of "Lian", which meant 'Lotus' in his native tongue and her hair was like a white lotus when she finally revealed her true Elven form to him. Her first born was Rai, whom only got to see a few years of his own childhood. When Rai was four, he was taken by a Yakudan Mafia, his mind and body altered to early adulthood. He served a leader of many bodyguards until Lian and Songa brought him home. It was a few short years later that Songa himself disappeared and Lian was left alone, with her second child to Songa, Rosella.
Lian returned to Fal'lain another time to raise her children, but always kept in contact with the many countries her children were a part of. Lian returned to her home country, deciding to reassemble the Royal Courts.
The Reassembly and Founding of Fal'lain Corp
Lian decided that now was the time to reassemble the Royal Courts. She brought in a new council, ruling back at the seat of power in Fal'lain again for a brief while. Amantis had grown into a well educated young woman with having experienced the outside world. She decided that Amantis would take the throne at this age so she could grow with the country. Amantis was crowned the Fourth Queen of Fal'lain since the founding and Lian retired quietly. She started to return to her early works, tinkering in the newest technologies. While doing so, she managed to make a living using her skills from the army and from living in Yakuda to do mercenary work to support her needs without relying on her family's wealth and was recruited into several small organizations that did assassinations. Eventually, that too became too troublesome and she returned to work.
Lian began taking commissions to design prosthetic limbs. She earned her first fortune in making human parts that she started to venture outwards in her creations. However, she needed to understand the anatomy of the creatures in the Gaia planar first. While the company had started in its early stages with many others like her working on making the pieces, Lian went back to work in gathering information. She traveled far and wide, finding herself in the oddest places. She took up residence on an island that had black volcanic sand beaches in which she stuck around, gathering more data on the bodies of others. It was when she met someone of the oddest species is when she knew she had to learn more. Hans was a giant man, towering seven feet tall but she wanted to know more about him.
Learn his anatomy and the way of using 'chi' as a means of controlling elements. Hans himself was an earth element or a 'red' Menschian. Thus began her downward spiral.
The Menschian Years
Lian began to develop a deep understanding for this culture that was so much like yakudan, but Han's people were distant. Spread apart. There weren't many left so she wanted to know about them. She didn't expect to want to become one when Hans nearly rejected her for what she was and what her son was despite having saved him from a very old vampire who had devoured his legs. Rai today has two prosthetic legs and hips with some parts regenerated out of necessity. Desperate to know more, to keep something that she loved and cared about, Lian made the brazen move to reject what she was and become something new. Hans took Lian to the temple in which a White-type of Menschian could help them with what they wanted. Undergoing the ceremony, Lian was changed into a Green type. Where Red was the earth, White a foreign psychic ability she never encountered, she herself controlled the wind. Hans stayed with her, teaching her a little more but soon disappeared himself. The last thing Lian remembered was Hans falling asleep at her side at night and disappearing in the morning before she woke. Lian had conceived a child, but Hans had left before ever knowing that she was with child. In grief, she searched for him with a full belly with baby inside. When it was close to giving birth, she returned to her home country. She was nearly cast out of her own home until Amantis took her in, recognizing her even without the long prominent elven ears any more. Lian gave birth to a red-type Menschian son she named Ian. A name short and brief like his father's. Lian took Ian with her on her journey to find Hans, searching across the Gaia planes until she had given up. Lian took Ian back home, searching one last plane for any sign of the giant man.
At a coastal city in a place where magic was shunned, Lian stood on the coastline looking to see if she could feel anything, anywhere. She felt nothing, and when she was about to leave, she was ambushed by the local villagers. Lian panicked and before they could beat her to death, summoned a hurricane which devastated the coastline. The village was wiped off of the map and only Lian remained. Afraid, she fled the area and passed by a mage who was returning to his home village in hopes of trying to prove his worth with his magic. Lian didn't know that she would meet this mage later on. In trying to figure out her powers so nothing like the village would happen again, she sought out many others who used similar abilities. She meditated with monks in the East, finding what it meant to use her Chakra point that fed off of compassion and love. She found ways of teaching herself when she was using her powers by tattooing her body with ink that reacted with the air when it flowed through her. She understood the complexities of healing with the very air and but not the deadly force it could be wielded as. She traveled around, seeking more help until she found a weapon maker that made her a weapon in which redirected and focused her powers into the weapon, making it into a deadly air cannon. With weapon in hand, she traveled around again to continue her search but soon gave up, and continued her research of the Gaians.
The Sigil Years
Lian traveled from city to city, but was always aware that she wasn't exactly welcomed in her mind. After the incident with the coastal town, she avoided large populations when she could but it couldn't be helped when the worlds of Gaia were growing bigger. As she traveled around, she had stopped in Sigil briefly but found the place far too crowded for her liking. Hoping another portal, she had almost abandoned the thought of returning to Sigil when met the most unlikely character. Lian had known of dwarves, hell, her country traded with them for their skills in minding and iron works…but this one was different. He lacked the beard and massive build, stunk to high heaven and lacked a lot of memory of things before. Lian had never considered dwarves to be weak, but the fact he was able to lose his memory was startling. At first, he had pegged himself as "Guile". Out of compassionate need to help others, Lian traveled with him in the direction he came from and found herself back in Sigil. "Guile" wasn't sure exactly where he belonged, but Lian adventured around with him in hopes that they could discover who he was. She learned quickly that he was a great fighter both in and out of the ring. He was gentle-hearted, but devious. When he finally learned his name was Derek and his friends were missing, they sought out more helping getting his memories back. They discovered that his comrades had gone searching for the missing children while bumping into the "Voodoo Man" who had changed them into monsters using skull-drilling slugs. They fought their way through, finding the reanimated body of Guile and fighting to the end. Guile was buried, and Lian stayed with Derek in Sigil.
She became pregnant after a series of rendezvous around Sigil. However, the past came back to haunt Lian when the mage who she had passed on the road many years ago found her whereabouts and sought to kill her in revenge. Defensive, Derek defended her and scared the mage off. They spent more time running, Lian revealing her secrets to him and Derek his own life to her. Eventually, they married. The Voodoo Man rose again, this time being defeated with the combination of efforts from Derek, Lian and Damian, the icy detective that would later run a small ice cream parlor on his own.
As their path continued, Lian met the famed son of Sieg, Tresondros Ecstuffuan and his partner, Lovi, Goddess of the Guild of women streetwalkers. However in returning to Fal'lain, the same mage poisoned Derek, sending him into a coma. Distraught, Lian stayed by his side until she had to return to business back in Sigil, having started another branch of Fal'lain Corp there. Some time passed and Derek finally awoke. However, the portals in Sigil had become tainted by the Warp and Sigil found itself under the siege of monsters under the Emerald Eye Society. Lian gave birth to her daughter Terrawilya during this time and afterwards murdered the Mage who sought to assassinate her earlier in her time in Sigil and with Derek. Lian and Tresondros, the famed fighter and son of Sieg, fought the Warped leader, but became stricken with the taint of the Warp. Her body had changed into a new form, but this was not the end of the troubles.
Hans had returned. After a long slumber, the giant came to Sigil seeking out her presence. The sight of her tainted form sickened him and he threatened to take Ian away. Desperate to keep her family together, she sought a way to return to her pure Menschian form. However, her idea had Derek concerned so while Lian sought her way to change herself back, Derek sought out any cure that he could on his own.
Lian never saw the half-dwarf again. As time passed, she presumed him still looking, injured or dead. Fal'lain Corp branch in Sigil was attacked by the Triads and the GPD undercover, Ko/Chen. Lian was struck hard in the crossfire but managed to get down to the basement level where the equipment needed to trigger the emergency systems was reactivated and she died with the effort. Amantis, on a sabbatical from Fal'lain to escape the stress, came to the rescue with a rebirthing ritual which would purge her body of the influence of the Warp with the assistance of the Team Sigil local Avion, Alan Meadia. With the now pure body, she was able to keep her son Ian with Hans disappearing again soon after. With the portals closed, Fal'lain Corp suffered losses of supplies and staff with the bombing. With Amantis stuck in Sigil during the Reclamation, Lian watched as her oldest child steadily began to fall in love with the alien Team Sigil member Alan, Lian residing in herself as she was unable to help as Sigilites were turned into slaves. It took the drow-child from a mage circle to coax her resentment for having been made to stand by. She attacked Team Sigil, nearly killing Amantis and waking to find herself immersed in battle, but on her own free will. Distraught, she took the first portal that opened back to Fal'lain.
Upon Amantis and Alan coming to Fal'lain, those same emotions boiled to the surface and choked off her abilities to heal both herself and others. Crippled and compassionless, it look the chance visitation of Arkravis, Alan's father, to Fal'lain to discuss the pair's engagement to finally force the emotions to the surface. Healed, she was able to be more forward with herself about what had transpired in Sigil. With Amantis and Alan in Fal'lain, Lian returned with Arkravis to Sigil to work on rebuilding Fal'lain Corp after the Reclamation. Lian decided to bury what memory she had of Derek with an empty suit of armor and a heavy heart. If Derek had survived, he probably would have moved on himself in the time passed or had found some way to contact her. With no sign of him, Lian buried Derek's armor in the Sigil Cemetery, the city he was born and raised in. With Fal'lain Corp back up and running, Lian could focus on raising her youngest child Terrawilya in the city that her father had been born in.
Yet the circle that the Mage belonged to wasn't done. While Lian was out grocery shopping, away from her Avion concubine as it were, she came under attack by the Circle of Nine who kidnapped both her and Terrawilya. While Terrawilya remained unharmed, conked out by a sleeping gas, the youngest mage of the Nine fled with her and turned her into the arms of Lovi who watched over her. Lian was tortured, more or less, to reduce her body's defenses down so she could be implanted with the soul of the Goddess of her home country combined with the seed of an unknown woman. Arkravis and the stranger Krausse got her out of the warehouse where she was kept, but not without the deep traumatic scars that went with it. Even after healing, Lian carried the heavy fear of death and the loss of her children. During a night of intercourse, the seed that had been planted was 'fertilized' by Arkravis, a mage of great power and skill, which completed the ritual. In the meantime, KB, an old vampire (and foe), planned under a devil's deal to kill Tresondros, Lovi and the whores working at the Guild, the Dark Swan. Lian carried the child to term, naming her Wren which suited her both her foreign and parental genes during which time there was a plot to bomb the Swan. After Wren was born, Lian confronted an old Ghost, the Dead Queen Gwendolyn, in which Arkravis was able to reveal his own Ghost Kalar in which Re'yah, the Goddess inside the infant Wren, made the decision that the Ghost had to go and that Arkravis was the true father. While the chaos of the women's death after a Masquerade Lian's company held still loomed, Lian and Arkravis went under the painful processes of reverting themselves to healthier states. Kalar was stolen away by Maria and Lian was returned back to her most natural form as an Elf, removing the Menschian powers and returning her magical abilities to her with the change.
What the future holds now is a mystery…
Abilities: Non Magic
--Hand-to-Hand-- Training from both the Demon War and training with the Royal Army has allowed Lian to have mid-range skills with hand-to-hand combat. Most techniques are used to disarm her opponent, put them to the ground and get them under the barrel or edge of her weapon for easy dispatch. Combined with certain types of magic, she can range from light damage to critical depending on the strength of the spell cast.
--Baton-- Uses similar skills to hand-to-hand combat, but using a retractable baton which causes critical damage depending on the opponent. Used for locations that have limited mobility but also, low skill opponents. Sometimes used against higher skills as a means of insult.
--Weapons--
Twin Blades-- A homeland crafted weapon that consists of two blades. The primary skill when in use is a technique from her home land which uses the blades in succession or together. As one blade partially completes its motion, the second is already in motion. As one sword is parried, the other can be used to attack. Its combined with also a footing that allows not only the weapons to be used, but martial arts skills. Its similar to Ba Gua which requires the movements of fluid, but power-filled circles.
Retractable Baton--A primarily one handed technique combined with hand-to-hand combat. The metal baton can be retracted for compact storage but when fully out, its made of a hard black steel. Not very powerful, but it can also be used as an indirect means of passing spells from caster to weapon to target.
All Hail--"All Hail" are actually two guns that are identical Browning 9 mm hand guns. Modified to carry more high power calibered bullets, they combined the speed of a quick shot with magic arts. When Lian was previously human for an amount of time, she was used to using high powered, heavy weapons. Back to being an Elf allows her to use more versatility to her weapons by becoming a gun-mage. The strongest of the spells used in All Hail is a Destruction Spell. When called upon, the sounds of bells like those of Notre Dame sound off and the crowds chanting 'hail' like an oncoming battle. Lian squats down to the balls of her feet, both guns aimed forward, then tilted to the side for balance. When fired, the bells will clang louder and the force is enough to push Lian back ten feet with the recoil. The resulting damage range resembles that of a three pointed crown thus why its called "All Hail" which is short for "All Hail the Queen". Combat knife--Essentially, that's basically what it is. A combat knife that like the baton, can be used in a fight in close range or places where there is limited mobility.
Abilities: Magic
--Spells--
Destructive--The strongest of Lian's spells. The spell itself combines white magic and dark magic, in which when both combined they repel each other and the resulting explosion is what makes it powerful. However, the resulting sounds of the 'bells' being heard is a hallucination brought on by the light as the spell charges. Early preparation for the spell requires an incantation to create a spell circle for the shots to fire through. Two spell circles and two enchantments are used to create one for light magic use and dark magic use. As both guns are brought around, the circles lock into each other, combining the spells and the shots are fired through. There are no specialty rounds for it, but it leaves Lian physically unable to use her arms for ten minutes (2-3 posts roughly) after the recoil.
Healing-- A average healing spell that can heal from major to minor wounds depending on the amount of time allotted and the seriousness. Has no repercussions nor requires All Hail to use.
Elemental--Lian has a series of magazines around her belt that have bullets with different spells attach to them. All Hail acts much like a mage's staff as it uses a focus. The handles of All Hail have spells circles engraved on the grip which make it easier. As the shots are fired, the spells are activated through the barrel and only react when it strikes a target.
Ice--Used to temporarily freeze opponents in place or to disable a limb. As the shot is fired, the point of connection between target and round causes a chain reaction. The moisture drawn in the air is frozen and lashes out at the nearest stable object like a wall or a person.
Fire--Much like the ice, but is used more like an explosive than a fire ball. At point of contact, it explodes. Lian carries rounds that have different magnitudes to their explosions from 1 to 3. 1 is a singe, 2 is a bit stronger and can cause enough damage to blow off a limb and 3 can clear a room, but also, when shot at three different points, can be used to blow through walls and annihilate a target.
White Magic--The magazine contains 5 bullets exactly to form a pentagram star that activates a purification circle. In addition, anything opposed to white magic can be harmed using the individual bullets, but it is mostly used for exorcisms, purifying the darker species in existence and even healing when combined with normal healing powers while weaponless and not with "All Hail".
Dark Magic--Opposite of White Magic, but can be used in the same manner except for healing. When the pentagram is formed, it can be used for demon summoning and the acceptance of Lian's Demon Contract which she uses to perform Dark Magic spells (Read More below).
Elemental control--For spells not able to be handled by "All Hail', Lian has a natural ability to connect with the elements. From her time as a Menschian, she still has a strong connection to the air while also maintaining control over water, earth and electricity to some extent. Just like every spell, it can have a backlash if not done properly which can cause temporary immobility, unconsciousness, burns and over-use of the earth which can cause unstable structures to collapse or quicksand to form if not done with care. Elements can be combined with hand-to-hand to do critical damage.
Lian's Demon Contract--In order to perform Dark Magic to its fullest extent, Lian made a temporary summoning contract with a Demon from the book that had been sealed away centuries ago. As payment, a small part of her soul is taken with it but to counteract it, Lian created a second artificial soul that is devoured instead. Each Demon of the book has a contract and a skill. Lian's daughter Amantis has a contract with the Demon of Sound while Lian has a contract with the Demon of Speed. When the demon is summoned, Lian's legs become a near unstoppable force. Near unstoppable, because at top speed a single trip can cause a lot of damage or it becomes difficult to stop until the time limit (around 5 posts) is up. When the contract summons is over, Lian is often left temporarily immobile since her body cannot keep up with the unnatural speeds. It usually takes a day or two to recover afterward.

Name: Lian Ikariyang (Or just 'Lian') Age: 25 (Original Immortal Age: 3, 475...Give or take a few years) Marital Status: Single Race: Chimagin
Wtf is a Chimagin?!: A Chimagin by appearance look like your typical human being. In history's past, monks were able to tap into a person's 'chakra' point which endowed them with magical gifts. By focusing the magical gifts on certain Chakra points, they are able to use Chi magics in ties to the elements. In addition to magic, they contain a physical prowess and a taste for fighting, yet still have the weakness of a human with an incredible amount of stamina.
Diet typically consists of large amounts of food. Having more than one Chimagin in a single town can eat it out of existence. ABSOLUTELY LOVE CHOCOLATE (OMNOMNOM)!
Mating is of severe importance. Male Chimagin will often fight for the right to mate a female (pending on the quantity of the gender). Sex with creatures outside the race is possible but the trait of the father will not carry completely over to the mother and vice versa.
--WARNING--Have a high intolerance for the undead. Under special circumstances, Lian has a tolerance for Vampires out of the massive quantity of them in existence around Gaia. However, Zombies and such will cause an adverse if not highly dangerous effect.
Lian is a Green Chimagin. Their Chakra points focus at the Heart and their powers mostly of healing using the air or wind. Personality-wise they are compassionate, loving and devoted almost to the extreme to whomever they serve or tag along with. Piss them off however, you might as well be standing in a middle of a Category 4 hurricane when they blow you, your house and livelihood away.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Appearance:
Skin: Pale Ivory, Light Freckles across the bridge of her nose. Tattooed along the back in green ink as well as on her shoulders, legs and hands.
Eyes: Blue
Bust Size: 38C
Clothing: Black Beret, Brass Goggles that are miniature computers for analyzing. Black tanktop with a corset underneath when her clothes get blown off when attacking. Black jeans with short black shorts underneath them for the same reason. Black leather jacket. Seems to wear a lot of dark clothes despite her bubbily, sweet appearance. Steel toe Boots go up to her knees and lace upwards. Never wears 'sexy' underwear but considers some lace underwear and undergarments comfortable though unneeded with her shorts and corset. Keeps extra clothing in a pack she carries around.
Personality: Very sweet and homely to come by though sarcastic and easily flustered to the point of tears. However, in unpleasant situations, can become violent, eerily calm and sometimes explosive. In situations where she's not in control, Lian is very submissive or domineering if need be.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ History:Born originally a creation of science and President of a prestigious company that dealt in the modern techonolgy, Lian surrendered her immortality for a mortal life under the guise of a Chimagin, a human to extraordinary abilities tied to the elements. Giving herself over to the temple in order to bear a lover's child, she was killed and then reconfigured into a human. After several short months afterwards, the creator and the lover walked away, never to return again. Only given a few brief lessons in how to handle the ability to control the wind and the healing that came with it, Lian was left to figure out how to handle such a dangerous yet useful ability all on her own. Wandering around the desert, she found a hermit in a cave that taught her the ancient art of Ohm Healing that used the similar practices that the Chimagin used...but at a cost. Every time Lian uses it, it deteriorates an organ in which can only be healed by another healing method, usually a potion of some sort that she now carries around. After an agonizing training, she left the Hermit's cave and went back out into the world, Healing the living and undead alike despite her people's own restrictions about them.
Later, when she had mastered her ability to heal, she was conflicted with the strength of air. Without some form of restrictor or tunnel, it caused too much damage so she researched a way to control it while also giving her power near full strength. Developed by a Japanese Gaian, the Kaze Sokujahou was born as well as it's miniature counterpart but because of the weight of the larger weapon, Lian trained for many years to developed the inhuman strength to wield it without the wear and tear on her body. As such, she learned to control her gifts using the items she was given as well as her own techniques. However, with no enemies but the ones who wanted her money pouch or body, Lian found no real use for the weaponry and decided to take the opportunity to learn about other cultures, their technology, etc.
Today, she has a small family consisting of her adult children: Amantis, Yai, Shengo, Rai, Rosella, and her youngest son Ian. All grown, living on their own. Without a young family to take care of, Lian wanders around and collects information for them as well as information for her company. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Weapons:
Guns
-Kaze Sokujahou--A powerful cannon that acts as a restriction more than a magnifier. It draws in the air through the open back in, pressure building in the chamber and releases in a condensed pressure in the form of a 'cannon ball' blast of condensed air. The feeling ranges from the equivalent of a Mack Truck running you over to the extreme equivalent as four trains crashing into an intersection in the middle of a Category 5 hurricane while in the middle of Armageddon. Without it, the latter comes into effect without the restriction of the Kaze Sokujahou's focusing strength. The outer appearance resembles a typical cannon but both ends are uncovered. On the outside of the metal are swirls that when the cannon is charged with Lian's 'Chi' glow green along with the markings along her very skin which they mimic. With two handles on top for wielding and another piece for one handed use beneath it. Weight: 300lbs. Height: 6'6'' tall, 2ft wide. Also can be used as a battering ram. Mostly keeps it wrapped in a tarp of burlap and belts to keep the wrapping in place in public areas until needed.
-Chisai Sokujahou--About the size of a normal handgun, fires 'bullets' of condensed pressure with the equivalent force of a .22 caliber gun. Kept tucked at the back on her utility belt out of sight. Appearance resembles the cannon where it's uncovered at both ends with the same swirls.
-Retractable metal baton-More of a self defense weapon than attack. When in tight areas or when areas don't have the amount of available air needed to use the cannon and handgun, she uses the mix of hard metal and brute strength to beat her way out of a tight situation. In some situations can combined with air pressure strikes for a slash attack strong enough to tear up the ground and cause damage similar to a sword slash. Retracts for storage, can be whipped out in seconds to extend about an arm's length. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Swords/Sharp n' Pointies-
Combat Knife--Lian only uses this for utility uses. Kept on her belt.
Needles-Simple acupuncture needles to paralyze parts of the body but puncturing the nerve to block off pain, cause serious pain or to kill in one strike. Never typically uses them but if there is a severe case where she has to postpone someone's life to save them, she'll use them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Spells-
Friction Strike: Rapidly heating the air around her hands and rubbing them together can allow Lian to form a strong electric charge. Used more for a stun attack but can be combined with brute strength for a devastating blow strong enough to stop the heart with a punch in the chest.
Healers Spells: Used for Dangerous to simple injuries to others but not themselves. Great advantage to gain allies. Green Chimagins specialize in air healing.
Ohm Healing:Used in low danger situations, Lian can use the symbol tattooed on her back and hands, combined with a symbol of the Ohm painted or drawn on the ground to perform a perfect healing. All damage and illness is erased.
Flaria Strike- Combined with Friction Strike where the heat is increased and the chemical balance of the air is changed to allow for combustibility. Can create explosions, fire damage and good for making campfires.
Desert Devil: Combining speed and the wind, Lian can create a massive Dirt Devil that kicks up enough dust to use as a smoke screen. Enough can cause 'Dirt Lung' that's enough to suffocate.
Water Spout: Combined with Wind and suction can create a Water spout. Enough water can cause damage while a little can be used for some defense. In addition to water control, Lian can use the oxygen in the water to spend extended periods under water.
Physical attacks
Pressure Point Lock: A technique also used with Healing but for slower opponents can disable parts of their body and reduce them to harmless boneless puddles on the floor.
Pressure strike: Building up air pressure around her hands and then attacking. Adds extra force in hand-to-hand combat.
Back Crusher: An Extreme close combat technique. If she can get her arms around the opponent, she can break their spines in multiple places as well as any limb caught in her grip.
Kaze Sokujahou Battering Ram--Causes more damage to buildings than people but combined with her strength and speed can send a person flying out of a city district, possibly breaking multiple bones.
]Agility: Using speed for escape, attack and defense. Top Speed reaches about Mach 3 to slow as a dash or feint. Combined with brute Strength, can knock a man's head off and send it rolling with the connecting force. -------------------------------------------------------------------
Other Skills:
Heavy Weapon User: Because of the weight of the Cannon and most other items she uses for attack purposes, Lian has built a strength that is beyond human. Her max lift weight: 2 Tons. The weapon she uses combined with her strength has earned her the title: "Heavy Weapon Master".
Technology Skills: In the Golden age of Technology, to be able to use it, take it apart and rebuild it into something else is a pleasure. Before her Wandering life, Lian used to run a company in which provided circuit boards and programs to the latest equipment, which is where she got her Brass Goggles.
Unneeded Damage: Being very proud of her skills, Lian sometimes causes damage in areas that don't need it. Market places with delicate wooden stands are a nightmare and usually when entering a building, the door will break off if she doesn't mind the end of it. Broken Glass, wood, even sometimes the bricks off of building cannot stand the wrath of Lian's clumsiness. Yet, she will take time out of her day to correct the mistakes she's made.
Blood Hound: As a Green Chimagin, her specialty is healing but because she is intuned with the air itself, can sniff her way to where ever she needs to be. That's now she typically travels around saying the quote: "I go where ever the wind takes me." And taking it quite literally. This can also be used for tracking both people and food, as well as sensing the chemical balance of people which tunes her into the mood of people around her.
Lian's Ultimate Hug Strike! (Also known as Heavenly Mounds of Lovely): This Parody technique of the Back Crusher is what Lian uses as a way to get friendly with those who don't have a high tolerance of close female contact. She grabs their heads, dragging them downwards (Or upwards depending on their height) and forcing them into her bosom in which she hugs them to the point they faint or otherwise have a nosebleed enough to fill a pitcher.
Frozen Tears: When sad or upset, Lian's body temperature and the air around her drop considerably. Her tears are frozen over into ice or frost and any rain with in a mile radius is effected as well.
