The Silver Guard ((Accepting/Open!))

[Maya Freana]

Hello there. I see you have found your way into the ranks of our organization. My name is unimportant, but you may be asking yourself where you are and what you've gotten yourself into. Well, you are in the base of the Silver Guard. We are an organization known for our services in the paid disposal of deathwalkers. Our name comes from the weapons we use, a special type of person called a vestec. Vestecs are distinguished by their silver hair. We keep their people safe within our organization in return to raise them and use them as our weapons when they reach the appropriate age. However, due to our intense training and lessons, the vestec must be placed in a squad with a handler, and two guards.

Handlers are distinguished by their blood red eyes that they have received since birth. Their jobs are to make sure their Vestec partner is stable and following the rules placed by our organization, if not, then responsibility is turned over to the two guards placed in the squad. They make sure the rules are enforced, and if their squad's vestec is out of control, it is their job to stop them, if at all possible. Our rules are simple...

1. Never kill a human.
2. No one in a squad is to fall in love with their Vestec.
3. The handler may only let their Vestec access their true strength three times a day.
4. Do not disobey the organization.

Welcome to the Silver Guard, your first mission starts now.

 

[Maya Freana]

In a time of war and monsters, there are those that are more evil than the rest. A guild known as The Silver Guard keeps peace in these troubled times, for a fee of course. If their services weren’t so necessary, probably no one would put up with them, but they have weapons that no one else can acquire and they use them against the world’s deadliest enemies. The Deathwalkers. One can slip into town and eats the flesh of someone. Afterwards, they take on their appearance and continue to spread throughout town. After they eat their second person, another Deathwalker is formed. Thus, the town is steadily consumed until it is simply dust. And so of course, the Silver Guard is needed to keep the regular humans safe from the monsters that hunt them.

 

[Maya Freana]

Squads of The Silver Guard- Squads are 4 person teams that travel about to rid villages of death walkers. Each squad is different in their own way and every squad has an insignia that defines them .

Guards of a 4 person Squad- There are typically two guards per squad. They are there to protect the Handler and their Vestec and enforce the rules. They have trained all their lives in The Silver Guard, and are at a certain level of strength, injected with a small amount of Deathwalker blood to give them a slight advantage when fighting either Deathwalkers or their own vestec until they are paired up together, then with a Handler and their Vestec. Guards can heal a little faster than normal humans, but not too much faster.

Handlers- Handlers were born with special abilities to unlock a vestec's true power. When they are born, they are found by The Silver Guard and raised within the guild's headquarters, as well as trained by elder handlers to hone their abilities until they are old enough, usually around the age 18, then paired with two guards and sent to find a Vestec partner. However, the Vestec and the Handler must be in complete harmony and meant for each other. If they are not, the Handler cannot activate their abilities. Handlers are rather strong as well, and can hold their own usually against one deathwalker at a time, but that is about their limit.

Vestec- The Vestec are a very delicate and fair race. However, they are still very powerful, as they are merely a different type of deathwalker. They do not crave human flesh, but they share the strength and speed of a Deathwalker, and are defined by their silver hair. They grow up in a secluded part of the Silver Guard's headquarters until a newly formed troop from The Silver Guard arrives, looking for their own Vestec. When a Vestec is right for a squad, everyone will know. They can never activate their powers alone, as it takes a large amount of energy out of them. For a Vestec to activate their powers, their Handler must kiss them. Since this takes so much energy from them, a Vestec can only use their powers three times a day. Vestec are strange creatures, looking in almost every way, as a normal human, except of course for their hair. But as they access their power, the begin to look more and more like monsters, depending on how much energy is used. When only a small amount of energy is use, their eyes turn white, like their Deathwalker counterparts, then their strength increases. When they are very close to looking like a deathwalker themselves, they must stop or they will become a monster that no longer looks human or deathwalker, these monsters are referred to as Fallen. What they look like at the point when they've become a Fallen, is different for every Vestec, but it is an inevitable end for all Vestec, so they request to be killed by the guards of their squad before they become the very thing they hate. When they are done using their powers, they can go back to normal by themselves, unless they've gone too far.

When it comes to making a Vestec fighter, there are two breeds, a defensive fighter and an attacker. Defensive fighters are much better at healing themselves by using their power. If a limb is lost and cannot be recovered, they can regenerate that limb over a period of 24 hours, if it is recovered, they can reattach it in a matter of hours. However Defensive fighters are the weaker fighters. Attackers are more powerful when it comes to fighting, but they are bad healers. If a limb is lost and cannot be recovered, they cannot regenerate that limb. If it is cleanly cut off however, they can reattach it by using their powers. Both sides can heal broken or shattered bones, just depends on what they are to how long it will take. Stab wounds are the same, but if any wound is too grave, both sides will die no matter what.

Fallen - Fallen are Vestec who reached their limits and were not killed by their squad. They are more powerful than a Vestec and a purebred deathwalker combined. Fallen roam the earth doing as they please and feasting on human flesh whenever it suits them, though they do eat normal food as well. Fallen can take the forms of normal humans and access their powers themselves when they want to, showing their true form for the monsters they've become. Since Fallen are nothing but Vestec that went past their limit, they still posess their special ability and the assignment of attacker or defender. Defenders can regenerate limbs in seconds if strong enough, and attackers are faster than could be imagined. Depending on how recently they've become a Fallen, they may or may not retain memories from their life before the incident. New Fallen never do, but after a few years of getting the hang of it, it comes back to them.

Profile Skeleton
((Do not make your entire profile bold or I WILL make you fix it.))

Each Vestec can have ONE special ability that sets them apart from the others but it has its limits and costs more energy. In the end I decide if it is acceptable or not.

[Maya Freana]

Accepted Vestec

Maya Freana

Name: Amaya Caldwell
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Squad: 12
Distinguishing Marks: Her squad's insignia tattooed on her back in the middle of her shoulder blades.
Weapons: Twin Scimitars
Personality: Having been raised as a living weapon, Amaya has a very hard time connecting with others, especially humans. She is a very stubborn, driven individual that will protect her squad with an intense ferocity. There are times that Amaya will attempt to communicate with others and act like a normal person, though she is usually quick to shut down and completely shut others out if she is reminded of what she truly is.
Bio: Amaya grew up in the depths of the Silver Guard all her life, safe and secluded from the rest of the world. She learned everything she needed to there, and that training made her the way she is now. She became an orphan at 5, when both of her parent's squads were assigned to destroy a Fallen and were killed in the process. After losing her parents, Amaya trained even harder, excelling her skills well above the majority of her peers. Once she was assigned to a squad, Amaya quickly proved herself as the strongest female Vestec in the Guild, earning both the reputation and more importantly to Amaya, the occasional mission to kill a Fallen. It was always Amaya's mission after her parents' deaths to destroy any Fallen she crossed paths with, and though she pushes her power to the edge every fight with a Fallen, as soon as she recovers, the Silver Guard always sends her on another, calling her their little 'Experiment', though she doesn't know why.
Breed: Attacker
Special Ability: Phantom- Can move very fast for a short burst in a short distance, leaving her image where she was, creating a phantom effect.
Relationship with Handler: It's good enough to Amaya, though it could probably use some work.
Appearance: Amaya

Minnta Aloripma

Name: Falinn Hales
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Squad: 19
Distinguishing Marks:
Weapons: Knives and a longbow
Personality: Often thought to be cold hearted due to her preference of keeping people at an arms length, is distrustful, and has a tendency to not respond when spoken to. She is quiet, manages to keep a level head in stressful situations, and hates being the center of attention.
Bio: Like the other Vestec, Falinn grew up in the Silver Guard head quarters and was trained to be a weapon. She does what she must to survive and protect what she needs to, but she doesn't seem to care much for the people she protects.
Breed: Defender
Special Ability: Snipe - her aim because near perfect from and she will zero in on an enemies weak points
Relationship with Handler: One of the few she remotely trusts, but pretty much treats them the same as everyone else.
Appearance: Falinn

 

[Maya Freana]

Accepted Handlers

thymeast22

Name: Ari Nicolette
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Squad: 12
Distinguishing Marks: squad tattoo on her ankle, a phoenix on her lower back, purple hair
Weapons: longbow, two rapiers
Personality: Bright, loud, and flirtacious, she doesn't like things being dull or quiet or boring. While she can tolerate silence, she hates awkward silences. She can be calm, sweet, and caring if necessary, though she usually reserves that for her squad, when she decides she needs to. Very rarely will she show that it's all a front, but few know her true personality.
Bio: She was found and brought to the Silver Guard when she was 10. She was old, but, due to the circumstances of her arrival, she trained harder than anyone else. After the mysterious deaths of two of the men who had found her and brought her to the Guard, she began training even harder, until she was considred one of the best handlers, ability-wise. Then she turned 18, and spent two years being paraded before various Vestecs before she finally found her match, Amaya.
Relationship with Vestec: Ever since their first mission, when Ari took down a Deathwalker, they have gotten along very well. She likes to think she and Amaya are friends, though that could also just be the image she(Ari) puts off.
Appearance: [x]

Bio: Zaneth doesn't remember much about his life before entering Silver Guard. All he knows is that he was orphaned during an attack. He began training to be a guard. His original drive was for revenge. He never really felt like he belonged though and tended keep his true thought and feeling hidden. He was not a natural fighter by any means but his drive for revenge carried him forward. He trained harder than most and found himself near the top of his class.
Relationship with Vestec and Guard: He's on good terms with both and would consider both of them a friend to his outer character.
Reason for Joining the Silver Guard: His original drive was revenge and though that thought is still in his head, he also genuinely wants to protect others who cannot protect themselves
Appearance: Zaneth

 

[Maya Freana]

Accepted Fallen

Maya Freana

Name: Rikiya
Age: Was 26 when he became a Fallen, real age is unknown
Gender: Male
Former squad number: 2
Distinguishing marks: Former squad's tattoo.
Weapons: A Claymore
Personality: Very quiet and reserved, Rikiya thinks everything out before he takes action. If you bore him, he will simply dispose of you without playing, but if you present a challenge to him, he will drag out a fight and most likely talk then.
Bio: Rikiya became one of the first Fallen. He easily dispatched anyone that was sent to kill him. It's not that he unintentionally lost control or anything, Rikiya merely became bored with his monotonous lifestyle and surpassed his limit on his own. Eventually, Amaya's mother was sent to take out Rikiya. She failed several times and by the third encounter, became the Fallen's prisoner. Oddly enough, an intense romance sparked between the two, and Rikiya let her go, enjoying this game they now seemed to play all too often.

However, around the same time that Amaya'a mother became pregnant with Amaya, she had been paired up with another male Vestec to breed. It was assumed until Amaya was actually about three years old, that the child belonged to the male. But as soon as Amaya began to show certain features, it was obvious who the father was. The Silver Guard let it slip by until Amaya was about five, then they revealed once and for all who the child's true father was to Amaya's 'father'. He slayed Amaya's mother, furious for being lied to by the woman, but the Silver Guard had also informed Rikiya of what had occurred. Enraged over his love's death, he slayed Amaya's 'father' but then seemed to disappear for a long time, only whispers occasionally appearing of where the male might be. He stayed in the background and watched his daughter grow to a powerful adult, but now he seems tired of hiding.
Breed: Defender
Special Ability: He can manipulate and control shadows to do almost whatever he wants.
Appearance: Fallen Rikiya

thymeast22

Name: Kai
Age: 35, looks 25ish
Gender: female
Former squad number: 3
Distinguishing marks: dragon tattoo on her right arm, red-tipped, pointy ears.
Weapons: b*****d sword (hand-and-a-half-sword), the claws and teeth of her monster form.
Personality: Insane. She is seemingly bipolar, and takes great pleasure from causing pain when she is in a bad mood. However, she typically seems to resemble a shy, quiet, slightly crazy girl. But when she gets mad, or hurt, she unleashes her power, and typically destroys anything in her path.
Bio: She was the vestec of squad 3, one of the prized squads. Until their final mission. Something went wrong, and she used too much of her power in order to save her handler, a man who meant more than he should. She became one of the Fallen, and slaughtered everything in the surrounding area. For years she was a mindless killing machine, until she remembered what she had been, and what she was now. The process drove her insane, and she only remembers her past life on occassion.
Breed: Attack
Special Ability: Summon a dragon (looks like her tatoo, named Ri)
Appearance: [x] As she uses her power she begins to look more and more like a shadowy dragon, complete with a firey breath when she's completely lost herself.
