Kaijudo: Duel Masters Gaiden
Kaiju - 'Strange Beast' -do - 'way of'
Kaijudo - Way of the Strange Beast.
You are here for one reason. You were selected- chosen above and beyond your peers. You have the ability, the wisdom and the will to master the arcane arts of Kaijudo. You have what it takes to be- Duel Masters!
Welcome to Flux's first Kaijudo RP. This story will be loosely based on the universe that exists in the TV show, 'Kaijduo: Rise of the Duel Masters'. Your characters will be youngsters (older teens/young adults) who, at the start of the story, will not have monsters. The first arc will see you 'encounter' the world of Kaijudo, and you will be brought into it freshfaced and new. You will be forced to become competent quickly- dark forces are moving now. Forces that seek to rend the Veil asunder. Will you be up to the task of saving both worlds!?
Basic Info Many of the basics of the universe will be explained in-RP. For further reading, rather than copy/pasting it I recommend going to this link to check out the basics. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me in cbox or pm.
History of the World A long time ago, there was one world. Man and Creature walked, side by side. But Mankind was afraid- for they were small and weak, compared to even the weakest of Creatures. They were kept as slaves, forced to perform menial tasks and back-breaking labour. Some exceptional humans were even forced to fight alongside their Creature masters, for while they were weak they had a strong capacity to channel mana.
This was both their curse, and their salvation. A secret order of freed human shamans spent several years developing this raw ability. They created a martial art, formal system of maneuvers that could control the flow of mana, so potently that it would even control the very actions of Creatures. They called this art "Kaijudo". With it, the shaman led a revolt through all five Civilizations, freeing all the captive humans. They brought the very Creature Monarchs to their knees.
A deal was brokered. The shaman and the Monarchs together wove a mighty spell- the Veil. It split the world into two halves- the Human world, and the Creature world. Finally, they thought, peace at last for mankind.
It was not to be.
The Veil was not a permanent solution. By it's very nature, it was forcing the world to fall out of balance. The chaotic essence of mana tore at it, and holes would form. From these tears in the Veil, Creatures would enter our world, and humans the realm of Creatures. Something had to be done.
The shaman gathered once more, and decided to establish an order. The order of the Duel Masters. They passed on their art of Kaijudo, and using it humans learned to cross the Veil, and to call creatures from the other side. They gathered information on creatures, establishing great libraries full of information on the enemy. Thus, the Veil is maintained down centuries of human development. Creature attacks are explained away by UFOs, Alien visits, cryptids and the like. Of particular use to the Duel Masters is the 'Cyber Virus', a Water Creature that can absorb memories from sentient beings.
You will begin your journey on this path soon enough. However, not all is well in the world. The Duel Masters are not as unified in their approach as they once were, and the truths they tell are not exactly the truth as it is...
Rules

3. Please try and post once a week. Heck, that's about what I'll be able to post as is, but if you want to post more that is awesome! If you have trouble posting frequently, I'll put you on a bus so the plot can keep going. You can always come back!

The Nature Master
Spoiler: click to toggle HumanName: Rebecca Roscoe Age: 43 Gender: Female Appearance: Rebecca is a homely woman, who dresses in conservative attire. She keeps to the robes of the Kaijudo Master while in the Temple, changing to sensible outfits based on the weather. While she has some element of green or brown in most of her outfits, she doesn't seem to match her fellow Master's penchant for 'color coded' wardrobes. She does have an embarrassingly large number of kitty sweaters. Her brown hair is starting to grey, and she keeps it tied up in a bun. She has put on a few extra pounds since she became the Nature Master, though it doesn't bother her too much. Personality: Rebecca is a mother, not just to her family but to the entire Temple. She is directly in charge of training the new recruits to the Temple, and weeding out those who lack the conviction, skill or drive to become Duelists. She takes a 'tough love' approach to these new recruits during training, but is generally a sweetheart outside the Dojo. She is patient, though not as patient as Master Zhen, and acts as mediator between the other Masters when they disagree on something. History: Rebecca has the longest tenancy at the Dojo, second only to Master Zhen himself. She was born in London, and has never really left the city. During the day, she is a schoolteacher at a local elementary school. She teaches earth sciences and ecology, and manages the school garden. She also keeps a garden at the Dojo- or rather, on top of it. Her rooftop greenhouse is filled with specimens that have managed to make their way from the Creature Realm to ours, and she hopes that by studying them she can get a better understanding of the nature of their challenge. Gauntlet colour(s): A forest green cover, with a brighter green highlights. Civilization Alignment: Nature Primary CreatureCreature: Forsett, Heroic ShamanNickname: Torcon Gender: Male Personality: Torcon Forsett, or simply Torcon, is a mediator and an intelligent Creature. Unlike most of the other Master's creatures, Torcon has endeavored to be an envoy from the Creature Realm to the Human Realm, and has learned to speak several languages (namely Spanish, English and Chinese). He values balance and peace-seeking efforts, but is not afraid to fight when an attempt at diplomacy does not go well. Other CreaturesShe prefers to use Nature creatures, and she has a distaste for using Darkness creatures. SpellsMost of her magic spells revolve around healing her creature, or helping her allies. Her favorite spell is Energize
The Water Master
Spoiler: click to toggle HumanName: Derrick Dempsey Age: 33 Gender: Male Appearance: Derrick has bright red hair, green eyes and freckles- just like his sister. Unlike his sister, He prefers to dress in ‘sensible’ clothing, preferring lightweight and form-fitting outfits. His wardrobe is dominated by blues and cyans. He is rather short for his age, and many disrespectful youths refer to him as the ‘Leprechaun’. Personality: Derrick is an emotional man, who wears his heart on his sleeve. He’s brutally honest, laughs from the heart, and while he’s been known to bend the truth he rarely outright lies. He has a knack for engineering and approaches problems like a puzzle- even if he doesn’t get it, he’ll bodger it until he does. History: Derrick and his sister, Dierdre, are both natural Kaijudo Duelists. Their parents ran a dojo in Dublin, before they moved to the London branch to help deal with the greater outbreak of creatures. While he was still an Adept, Derrick went to school for, and obtained, his engineering degree. Now he uses his knowledge to provide tech support for the Temple, and sometimes creates new gadgets to help the Adepts. Gauntlet colour(s): His gauntlet has fish and bubble qualities, looking much like an Aquan hand. It has a neptune green primary coloration, with turqoise highlights. Civilization Alignment: Water Primary CreatureCreature: Reef GladiatorNickname: Hydrus, Reef Gladiator Gender: Male Personality: Hydrus is a passionate fighter, mirroring his master’s personality. He is strongest when fighting in or around water, and so prefers to fight in that terrain. He has an eloquence to him in the creature Realm not unlike that of a quintessential ‘gentleman’. Other CreaturesOccasionally summons Fire creatures, specifically those that carry guns. SpellsHas used a few, with Veil Vortex being his signature spell.
The Fire Master
Spoiler: click to toggle HumanName: Master Zhen Tong Age: 79 Gender: Male Appearance: Master Zhen is an aging man of chinese ancestry, who favors the traditional colors of a fire master- reds, bronze and burgundy. His head is bald, with wisps of white hair sticking out of the sides (and his ears). He has a long, well-kept beard. Personality:Master Zhen is the current Head Duel Master, and as such carries himself with purpose. He is a calm man, though in his youth he was known for his fiery passions. He is perpetually calm these days, and none in the temple can recall a time when Master Zhen ever raised his voice. History: Master Zhen’s history in the Kaijudo Temple of London is a storied and impressive one. He emigrated to the city when he was a child, and was inducted into the order when he was in grade school. His parents had signed him up thinking it was a simple martial-arts school. After completing his final tests, he was allowed to begin facing the threat facing the world. He eventually began teaching at the Temple, and then became Head Master 40 years ago. The past three decades have seen Master Zhen take on a more mentor-style role at the Temple, and he rarely takes the field of battle. That said, when he does he has myriad creatures to call upon. Gauntlet colour(s): Zhen’s gauntlet is red with orange highlights, with a golden gem set in the back of the hand. It appears to be made of a cured leather type Civilization Alignment: Primary CreatureCreature: Sledgehammer SlammerNickname: Mezger Gender: Male Personality: Mezger is a mighty warrior who has fought at the behest of Zhen for the better part of his career. Mezger is a creature of few words even in the Creature Realm. Other CreaturesUnknown. Master Zhen is rumored to have summoned as many as seven creatures and controlled them, at once. SpellsUnknown at this time. It is expected that he knows a wide range of them.
The Light Master
Spoiler: click to toggle HumanName: Dierdre Dempsey Age: 33 Gender: Female Appearance: Dierdre Dempsey looks very much like her twin, Derrick. She doesn’t keep her hair long, and the resulting short hair has led to her being confused with her twin on several occasions. She is of slighter build than he, and a bit taller. Unlike Derrick, Dierdre does wear glasses. Her clothes are predominantly yellow and tan, but unlike one would expect they often have clashing, bright colors. Personality: Dierdre is a rebel with a cause, and doesn’t pretend to hide it. While her brother can swing emotionally from morose to ecstatic, he is usually clear on how he feels. Dierdre can come off as brash and rude on the best of days, and on the worst of days she’ll just ignore most others. She is not terribly satisfied with being Light master, but she is also too proud to turn down the position. She also feels - and perhaps she is justified in this - that she is currently the most potent Light Master in the UK, and to let someone else do a worse job is something she hates more than the bureaucratic mess that can be a Master’s life. History: As with her brother, Dierdre moved to London after spending her young adult life learning Kaijudo. She was very strict as a child, and an exemplary Duelist. Like her brother, while an Adept she obtained her degree. Unlike her brother, Dierdre studied business in school and took on the business aspect of maintaining the London Temple, creating a lucrative business model out of it. Gauntlet colour(s): Golden highlights on the fingertips and back of the hand, with the main section of the gauntlet being a warm tan color. Civilization Alignment: Light Primary CreatureCreature: Alcadeus, Winged JusticeNickname: Alcadeus Gender: Male Personality: Alcadeus is a very strict creature, and follows his orders to the letter. He and Dierdre form a potent team on the battlefield precisely because he is so quick to respond to orders. He does have a strong code of honor, though, and refuses to attack a foe that is unaware of his presence, or unarmed. Other CreaturesHas been known to summon Shaw K’Naw for fights in smaller locations. Aside from that, uses all the other nations with equal frequency. SpellsMost of her spells revolve around using light to debuff her opponents. Her favorite is Stormspark Blast
The Darkness Master
Spoiler: click to toggle HumanName: Mina Martin Age: 21 Gender: Female Appearance: Mina is a lanky, skinny girl with tanned skin, a dancer’s figure and bright pink hair cut into a pixie cut. She has a nose piercing, a pair of ear piercings and a few tattoos as well. At first glance, one would think she was a rough and tumble kind of girl. One would be right- but they’d also miss out on the fact that she is incredibly enthusiastic about her job, and an earnest friend to anyone who gives her a chance. Personality: Mina is another hot-headed master, perhaps even more so than Derrick. While Derrick’s emotions wax and wane, Mina is almost always on a crusade to protect the integrity of the Veil. She is more inclined to punch first, ask questions after more punching. This does put her at odds with the other masters, especially Master Zhen. History: Mina began her meteoric rise in the ranks of the Kaijudo Masters in her homeland of Australia. The Veil is weaker than average there, and many larger and more powerful creatures tend to come through. Thankfully, many of them do so in the Outback- which is where Mina cut her teeth in Dueling. She had a knack from an early age, and managed to tame the mighty Bonerattle Dragon, Cuddles, and purged many a powerful monster. When the position opened up, her home Temple decided to send her to study under Master Zhen, hoping he could temper her uncontrolled zeal. Gauntlet colour(s): Main body of this bone-and-scale looking gauntlet is deep purple, with pale lilac colored highlights. Civilization Alignment: Darkness Primary CreatureCreature: Bonerattle DragonNickname: Cuddles Gender: Female Personality: Cuddles hasn’t displayed much personality, as she has usually been summoned in time to tackle a powerful monster. Mina swears that Cuddles earned her name in a heartwarming manner, and that she is very well behaved. Other CreaturesMina is not a subtle master, and prefers to summon either Nature or Light creatures for their might. SpellsMina is talented at spellcasting, favoring spells of banishment such as Terror Pit

Human
Name: Katherine Gage Age: 15 Gender: Female
Appearance: Kate, stands aproximately 160cm, and weighs in at aproximately 52kg. Her wardrobe tends to vary but usually it consists of something similar to the picture, in a variety of colors, and depending on the weather pants instead of a skirt.
Personality: Kate is usually as rather cheerful girl. She enjoys shopping for new outfits, especially when its someone else's money. Kate's biggest flaw may be her black and white mind set- she's not an idiot but she doesn't exactly grasp the moral gray areas. She will hastily form a first impression of someone, and then spend a while trying to think of a fitting nickname for them. Oh she has a very strong dislike for Halloween.
History: Born the only child of a middle-class family. Kate had a pretty boring life with a less than exciting family, a Store Manager for a father, and an Executive Chef for a mother. Her most exciting family member might just be her Uncle Allen, who had went missing when Kate was around five, only to turn up two years later in the middle of a field, claiming he had not only been abducted by aliens but experimented on by mer people. Uncle Allen was quickly declared mentally ill, something about trauma, and has spent the past 8 years in a mental institution.
Kate has always enjoyed her Uncle's stories, after all doesn't every family have some relative with possibly insane stories- be it war stories or something else. Needless to say this affects her day to day life- as it's pretty common for kids to shy away from her, or even give her a hard time in science, just because her uncle is considered "crazy".
It seems most Halloweens- at least since she was around 10, the local kids would dress up in alien or mer person costumes, sometimes just for Kate's house, and then say stuff like "We've come to get you." It is because of this behavior that she dislikes Halloween, at first she took it serious - being a little slow on comprehending things. But by the 2nd or 3rd Halloween she realized that they were making fun of the fact that she and her Uncle believed in Aliens.
Gauntlet colour(s): Kate's Gauntlet It also has cyan trim along all the yellow pieces, the center circle is surrounded by a dark blue ring. Civilization Alignment: Water/Light, Emphasis on water at least to begin with.
Primary Creature
Creature: Aqua Strider Nickname: Ace Gender: Male Personality: As a creature with traits of both water and light civiliation, () has an unwavering faith much like Alcadeus. However the water side tends to be the predominate one. While he is extremely unlikely to disobey a direct order, he has no qualms with striking an enemy down from behind- after all he does hail from the water civilization.
Other Creatures
(Add to this list as you summon creatures in the RP. They'll represent the utility creatures you can summon.) Spoiler: click to toggle Keeper of Clouds- To fly in style no bumpy attack raptor or disgusting megabugs for this girl- Aside from Aqua Strider possibly her most used light creature.

(Not for a bit, but eventually you will learn spells. They go here.)

Nearly finished
Human
Name: Edwin Huntington Age: 21 Gender: Male Appearance: This, standing 6'1" with brown eyes and dark blonde hair. Personality: Edwin has a mostly laid-back personality. He's a bit lazy when it comes to specific tasks despite being active outdoors, but flares right up if something is bothering him, such as atrocious behaviour to innocent people. He has a curious outlook most of the time, not being startled by much and wants to know how bizarre things work. But he gets bored kind of easily if exciting things aren't happening, and reverts to trying to come up with an inspiration for an invention.
History: Edwin has an elder and younger sister. He had a mostly average life in a lower-middle class household. When growing up, he found that his skills were in handiwork rather than bookwork, and sought a career on the engineering side.
However, he found engineering quite boring, having to do more tedious theory than exciting work, so he tried his luck at innovations. Fortunately he had a success in this at first, starting off with a few popular toys to build up his funds, but after trying to move on to more serious inventions, he could never sell his ideas. He wanted to be more than just a toymaker, so he constantly seeks inspirations for interesting inventions.
Gauntlet colour(s): Has a red base with a white pattern along the fingers and blue plate panels on the fingertips, knuckles and the back of the hand. Has a streamlined feel. Civilization Alignment: Fire/Water
Primary Creature
Creature: Flame-Vent Diver Nickname: Jiggs Gender: Male Personality: Jiggs is an impish trickster and loves playing around. He's at his happiest around warm water, but has a fear of the cold. He dislikes bossy people and uses those that are as targets for pranks.

Ah, I see this idea finally cropped up! Barebones WIP incoming!
===
Human
Name: Richard Eifman Age: 18 Gender: Male Appearance: A boy of 5'5, he comes off as rather unassuming. His hair is shaggy in design, colored blonde, with brown eyes hidden behind said hair to further add to his otherwise unremarkable image. Known to wear a white dress shirt along with black slacks, there'd be almost no reason to suspect him as the guy who may have just taken something from you. He doesn't stand out from the crowd, but among them, seemingly lost in his own world as he listens to music through his headphones... Or is he really? Personality: Outgoing and easily chatty at times, Richard (Or Richie, if you prefer) is one who often musters up a great deal of energy but has few ways to channel it. With more time spent outdoors than indoors, he often will know or else find his own way around an area given enough time and effort. He finds himself unable to stay still for very long, perhaps a negative quality of his, but the real truth lies in his... Other negative habits. It is because of this that you'll either see him as an okay friend or someone you'll want to avoid.
For all the friendliness he puts up, he often comes down with fits of kleptomania, perhaps a more important reason for him not to stay still for very long. Though for now it seems isolated to only small amounts or menial things, it may not take long for his tendency to expand. To those he calls friends, he often does not take their things for very long, preferring to amuse himself for a short while before returning them. It is through these acts that can make, or break, the friendships he holds with others.
History: Richard was once born to a less-than-average household, unable to keep him due to lack of funds to keep up his and their own well-being. As a result, both parents were forced to put him up for adoption, a choice that still pains them to this day. One person offered to take the boy off their hands, even offering to pay them more than they asked for. Whether a stroke of good fortune or not, they parted with their son, hoping he would live a better life with whatever family he was being taken to now, hopefully to never learn of the shame his parents would endure for the rest of their lives. For as long as they lived, they would never learn the truth of where he really went, the being that cradled him in human guise being anything but.
In truth, he was adopted by a Dark Lord, a race of creatures known for their great influence within the Darkness Civilization of the creature world. Hoping to raise a human to become a skilled fighter for them, they took one from as early an age as possible to instill as much capability on them as possible. Though things were far from easy... They would still need to actually raise the boy long enough for him to learn things, and as a result, he marked the rgeatest challenge they would ever face in their life: caring for a child not their own. With knowledge of pre-existing human children, he was given creatures like Evil Toys, Rot Worms, Mimics, even Chimeras to play with to keep him entertained. Repeated excursions to the human world under the guise of one of them were made to procure food for him. It would be these very same excursions that would slowly give others time to discover what was going on.
For a time, this continued, the boy being instilled with a great respect and appreciation for creatures of the Dark, especially the being he believed was his parent. Over time, he would be tested to recruit his own creature from the surroundings of his home using the knowledge and feelings he gained from his stay within the Dark Lord's fortress. This mission would not be completed, however, as another human intervened to swiftly take him out of the world he knew as home for so long. With all that he knew, that he was exposed to growing up, there was no choice but to cleanse his memory of his time within the Creature World. Once more would he not be able to remember what had happened before then... Instead his memories were replaced by a new family, one he was sent to live with as a foster child, under the pretense that he was really their son. No one was to ever tell him the truth.
The boy, given the name of Richard Eifman to better fit in with the family, now lives a comfortable life under the care of his parents. To this day, however, he still has dreams of the dark, and forboding creatures that would give anyone nightmares still seem to keep him calm and at peace. Though he discusses these dreams with no one, he feels they do not impact or influence him or his behavior in any way, a notion that would prove wrong in the coming times...
Gauntlet colour(s): His gauntlet adopts a more clawed design as opposed to rounded fingers. Color-wise, it exists primarily black in color for the covering with gray coloring along the undersides of the fingertips and palm grips. Finally, the glyph on its backhand is colored purple. Civilization Alignment: Darkness
Primary Creature
Creature: Grave Worm Hatchling Nickname: Nibbles Gender: Male Personality: Smaller than normal Grave Worm Hatchlings, he differs only slightly from others of his species. He still possesses a voracious appetite, and as such Richard has taken to ironically naming him Nibbles for it. Despite looking ugly as sin, his stubby arms and cute little screeches causes his partner to find him far more adorable than he should.

Human
Name: Elias Manning Age: 21 Gender: Sword Appearance: Elias is a slightly tan and muscular man with a head of short scruffy brown hair. He's a mish-mash of several europeon ethnicities, the most prominant of which is Spanish. With a constant five O'clock shadow and a handful of scars from his time in the ring, he would come off as quite intimidating, if he wasn't so short, standing only 5'5 despite his build. He is either seen in typical street clothes with a hoodie or sweatshirt or his karate gi if he happens to be training that day.
Personality: Elias, or Eli as he likes to be called, is a mixed bag. He's typically very relaxed, not putting much stock into what other people say. He does have a limit however, and if someone pushes his buttons he'll snap, going from relaxed to incredibly pissed in seconds. This gives him an aloof sage-like presence, with a strange delinquent side that can be rather jarring to the uninformed. He reacts to social situations with an impassive, but somewhat off putting silence. Saying only what he thinks he needs too to answer anyones questions and little else. He will become much more talkative if something or someone manages to pique his interest. He shows a great degree of respect for the martial arts, as karate is the one thing which takes his mind off his trouble. While he's practicing, he appears far more focused and calm, as if his harsh exterior has melted away and only his true self remains.
History: Hailing from Spain, Elias' family moved to the UK while he was still a child. Eli, while usually a fairly well behaved kid, had a violent streak if he was pushed. To attempt to rectify this, his father enrolled him in a martial arts class at a young age in an attempt to improve his self control. While this succeeded in giving him more tolerance and an outlit for his frustrations, it still didn't solve the root problem. As he grew older, the boys temper became a thorn in his side, and he eventually dropped out of school (although he did later obtain a GED). Deciding he would channel his temper rather than try and supress it, Eli became involved in MMA. While he's still a rookie, he's showing talent, but because of repeated fights and outbursts he's been put on a six month hiatus by his coach, and told if he doesn't clean up his act he won't get another chance. Eli is currently stuck in limbo, trying to decided exactly what he wants to do with himself, and he hasn't got the slightest clue.
Gauntlet: The Godhand Civilization Alignment: Light, with a bit of nature
Primary Creature
Creature: Suncloak Protector Nickname: Hogan Gender: Male Personality: This mighty colossas, or Hogan as he's been christened by Eli, is a rough, no-nonsense brawler with literally boundless confidence. He is a giant, but he's far from gentle, possesing enormous strength even by Kaiju standards. True to his name, he's a protector at heart, and will defend the weak from those who would abuse their power. He likes a good challenge, especially if he finds an opponent capable of going toe-to-toe with him. When that happens, he immediatly goes all out, giving his 100% in a strange sense of respect to whoever managed to make him get serious.

Human
Name: Howell Gilford Argallhier
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Appearance: With his 180cm height, Kayn's stands pretty tall amongst many people beside his family members for whom he's a little above average. Slender and with a pale skin coming from his indoor life habits he's a decently good looking guy, not amongst the hottest around but not even a bad catch if we should say so. His dark hair are kept long, reaching a little behind his neck and the elegant glasses covering his dark blue, almost violet, eyes give him a sort of intellectual aura. His clothing style is a sort of mess, ranging from the coat-crew shirt-denim-boots combo to more elegant attires based on the occasion. Anyway he always favor black clothes because "they made him slender". He likes to wear fantasy-ish jewelry, usually in silver and replicas of famous fictional ornaments. (Yes, he has Narya, Vilya and Nenya and the Elessar from the movies as well.)
Personality: Daydreaming, always immersed in thoughts he would seem distant to the ones not knowing him well, while he's actually simply lost in his own world made of possibilities and stories to write and tell. A gamers and fantasy nerd at heart he can be pretty social when people manage to involve him into anything of interest. On the other side he's pretty distant from any activity that normal people likes and enjoys. Sports holds little to no interest to him and cars and bikes are just useful tools to move around. Even girls needs to have more than looks to attract his interest and he would easily favor just cute girl with a brain compared to hotter ones relying only on their appearance. He usually pays no mind to other when they tease him or try to provoke, but on less than rare occasions he got into some brawls giving and taking his fair amount of hits. (And usually ending up needing to buy a new pair of eyeglasses.) Needless to say, he enjoys anything related to fantasy like books, music, movies, card games, RPs, LARPs and Videogames.
Due to many years of LARPing and medieval fairs he had developed a liking to the natural enviroments where usually these events are held. While not being a Greenpeace militant, he's more sensible than others to the enviroment problems and tries to do his little part to not litter and keep nature preserved. This pretty much means many minor things, nothing big or extreme, but at least there is effort. He doesn't mind the occasional camping session or cooking on the open and isn't really too picky about outdoor life being able to give much to many technological commodities for some little time at least.
History: Nothing out of the ordinary beside having two crazy parents from which he actually got his passion for fantastic related things. On that note even his birth started with the wrong step with his parents arguing about which name to gave him. And yes, the officer had to refuse them giving him names like Gil-Galad, Elrond, Elrohir, Sparhawk and too many others to be listed here. They settled on an altered version of Howl Jenkin's name and something involving Gil as an homage to Tolkien too.
Despite the insanity, the parents loved the boy and raised him pretty well, his childhood stories involved knights, elves and dragons. His toys where swords and the such and he even had a lot of fantasy cosplays to attend fairs with his parents. The passion had been passed and not imposed so when he grew older it was only natural that he immersed himself into more mature reading like Tolkien, Brooks, Eddings and Pratchett. At the same time he started to enjoy RPing, something his mother managed to involve him and the friends who visited home with. This gave him a knack for theatre as well, despite less adventurous than RPs or videogames and forced to adhere to a plot set in stone he still enjoyed portraying some characters, usually Shakespear.
By the current days Howell (Or Howl as his parents and some of his childhood like to call him.) is your average university student, late with his courses but deeply involved with a lot of RP, LARP, fantasy music (He plays the lute.) and other stuff. A big fan of Magic: the Gathering he's pretty fond of his Black\Green deck. (Mostly Green to be honest.) He works part time to get cash for his hobbies and grow a little more indipendent from his parents economic support, but truth to be said he doesn't try too hard.
Yes. He likes anime too.
Gauntlet colours: Black with an extended Turquoise elven-like rune motif engraved over all the gauntlet and converging into a flower-like star glyph on the center of the back of the handguard.
Civilization Alignment: Nature with a knack for Dark. Not really any tie with the civilization, but he likes to play Green\Black in M:tG so he got interested into that civilization.
Primary Creature
Creature: Hornblade Dragon Nickname: Yevaud Gender: Male Personality: Everyone has their merits and flaws, Yevaud has many of the formers he's wise, smart, strong even amongst hornblade dragons and has lived long enough to temper the impetuos eagerness of youth into a more careful and foresighted behaviour. For his flaws he has many, but the most important one is his pride as Dragon and Fighter. While he fully understand humans and their abilities to control other creatures and cast spells, for him a fair fight is only against a Dragon or another creature of equal power, usually refusing to battle against anything that his draconic eyes would see as lesser beings. Protecting Howl is an exception, but mostly because since Yevaud believes he took Howl under his care, his honor requires for him to protect the young man.
As a being belonging to the Nature Civilization, he is susceptible to very wide changes of mood being able to go between the quiet and collected of a summer night to the ravaging anger of a winter storm if anyone is unwise enough to anger him to that point. In battle he would listen to only one kind of directions from Howl, that being which enemy creature is most troublesome for the human at the given moment, then proceed to engage and deal with it in his own way. He's not that prideful to ignore his partner warnings if some new threat should approach, but that's all.
Regards to Howl, the Dragon see the Human as little more than a children, something that Howl's personality and habits don't really help to change. Slightly disappointed about being partnered with him at least the Dragon is grateful that the man is willing to learn and listen to the many stories and knowledge he's glad to share. Not being really a fan of having Howl riding his back, Yevaud more than often let his human partner doing so, mostly because he can understand the joy of flight and feels bad for humans that had been born deprived of wings.

10/4/2013 Update-
Santa- Please finish your appearance, and either complete history or indicate that you'll explore it in RP.
Spire- All the areas are filled, but if you can please flesh out the history and personality a wee bit more.
Xion - Solid!
Elix- Not going to lie, I'm not a fan of the drug usage. This RP is more lighthearted in nature, and the use of hard drugs is something I'd rather not see. Perhaps you could drop it down to just cigarettes/alcohol (i.e. 'legal' drugs)? Otherwise, solid punk kid approach.
Kay- Need you to finish your Hornblade's information. So far goofy, but solid on Howl himself.
Now, I have received some requests to open the RP up to more spots. Since we are such a small site, I'll go ahead and say apply- but I'll be more rigorous in my 'encouraging posts' policy, both with myself and with you guys. Worse case scenario, you'll be sent to another branch to train while you are away.

Done and done, I was actually considering removing them myself since they didn't really fit as well as I thought they might. Eli is now just a delinquent who fights alot.
