*Observations*
The characters below are presented exactly as they appear in my story.

Terms used in their profiles:

Wolfpack (or simply the Pack): A very organized assassin clan. They are bound by a code of honor and very strict set of rules.

Legendary Warriors: A group of warriors know for their great deeds and unusual skills. It is said that they founded the cities and maintained peace in the land as long as they lived. It is questioned if they have indeed existed or are only myths.

Enlightened: People who posses special supernatural powers. Are not considered a separate race from humans, although the "enlightenment" tends to run in the same families. They appear the same as normal humans, except their eyes glow when their abilities are in use.

State of Enlightenment: Is when a enlightened uses his ability. His eyes will shine brightly, and/or change color.

On a very personal note... I can't describe clothing properly in english, so... I'll try but it will be vague.
*end observations*



Name: Allison Blake (Ali)

Alias: Blackbird

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Orientation: Straight

World/Canon: Stonewall Valley, from my story The Journey

Description: Allison is about 173cm tall and is slightly skinny. She has light skin, wavy blonde hair and bright blues eyes. She is the kind of girl who easily stands out in a crowd, wasn't for the fact that she usually goes out of her way to avoid them. She usually keeps quiet and carries herself in a discrete manner, looking at her no one really assumes she could hurt a fly. She has a dark birthmark on her left forearm that resemble a bird in flight. When in an enlightened state her eyes shine an extremely bright blue color, and they sometimes sparkle when she is angered.

Clothing: Ali usually dresses in black, or dark green clothing. Except for her boots which are always black leather boots. Eventually she walks barefoot when in camp, otherwise... It's always the same pair of boots. She uses mostly a simple shirt and pants. Light leather armor protects her arms and legs almost at all times, but rarely her torso (go figure). When she wears no sleeves, which is rare, she wears a black sash around her left forearm, to cover her birthmark. She usually wears a hooded cloak, usually dark green. She wears a dark, light leather glove on her right hand, to protect her fingers from the bow string, as well.


Personality: Allison is an introspective person around strangers. She usually dis-encourages questions, and responds with sarcasm if they are asked anyway. In spite of that attitude she is usually calm and hard to anger. Around her friends though she is a little more loose and playful. She is also extremely protective and caring (in her own particular way).
Ali is not the most affectionate person. She usually never say she likes anyone, although it's rather obvious since there are few people she actually opens up to. Hugging is... Not her thing. And her displays of affection may vary from an extremely rare hug (she would have to be extremely happy, or the other person very sad) to purposely annoying the hell out of you just to get a laugh.

As an assassin Ali is restless, quick, and cold. She usually shows empty hands but she can pull a knife out of nowhere before you know it. Close combat is not really her preference though, she is a skilled archer and she can wait for hours, even days, with a arrow knocked, for a perfect shot. She enjoys killing, and has no remorse at all, but she never takes a life unless is necessary, or she is under orders. She is known to have seriously injured people when actually angered.
She is completely loyal to Wolfpack, would never do anything against the clan, and would gladly die to defend it.


Equipment: Ali usually carries two silver daggers on her waist, three hidden throwing knives, a longbow which is a family heirloom. Allison's bow is a family heirloom and it belonged to the Legendary by the name of Jean (aka: the original Blackbird), and it is known to be indestructible. It is her most precious possession and she has been known to brake some fingers to keep people's hands away from it. It is a black bow with a silver-lined grip with the image of a bird engraved on it. She also keeps at least 20 arrows always with her, in a small leather quiver she keeps tied around her waist.
She always carries a wooden flute, but rarely ever plays it. And she has a silver pendant, in the shape of two roses forming a cross, she will never take it off.

Primary weapon: Bow and arrow.


Background: Allison was born daughter of the rulers of the city of Bridgeton and the descendant of one of the Legendary Warriors. Until the age of ten she had a perfectly normal and happy life. However, one night, he city was attacked and burned down by the army of the rival city of Cold River. Her parents and little sister were killed, while her brother managed to pull her out of the fire. He was captured moments later, and she has never seen him since.

Her run-in with the Pack happened through Crystal. Ali survived almost a year in the forest by stealing from wanderers. A blind girl shouldn't be too hard... Poor kid, she didn't know what she was getting into. What probably saved her life was the fact that she succeeded in her attempt to steal, even if she was tracked down and captured minutes later. Crys noticed she had potential and brought her before her parents, to plead for her life. Ali refused to beg and said she didn't care what they did with her, but told her story to them anyway. The leader of the Wolfpack had known Ali's mother, and decided to spare her. They offered her a chance to live by becoming one of them.

From that day on she became a recruit, learned to live by the rules of the Pack, and vowed to always be loyal to the clan.
As a recruit Ali got into lot of trouble. Her bottled up anger and her violent behavior seemed to be uncontrollable. Had she gotten any other instructor she would have been lost, but Crys eventually got to her, and she learned to be more respectful and disciplined. At the age of fifteen she became an active assassin, being one first recruits to actually be approved by Crys.
Ali became close to the leaders of the clan and their family, soon they became like her own family, and she would do anything to
protect them.
At the age of 17 she was accused of betrayal. Beaten and left almost dead in the forest... She was saved by Annie, and treated. After being away for a little over a year (painfully recovering) she returned to the Pack in spite of having her loyalty questioned. She had been proven innocent, but considered to be dead. No one dares to mention the incident until this day.

Other info:


Enlightenment: Allison has the ability to enhance or nullify any one of her senses at will. However, when she enhances one sense she loses another. And if she wishes not to feel pain she will become sensitive to sounds or light. She has control of her abilities most of the time, but sometimes when she closes her eyes at night, her hearing can become extremely sensitive, which makes it hard for her to sleep. Ali discovered her enlightenment at the age of twelve and began to work very hard to control it, or at least keep it from getting in her way. It took some time, but she managed. Still, sometimes when she's more vulnerable (when she is falling asleep, for instance) she loses control.

Fears and pet peeves: Ali has a deep and disturbing fear of fire, she has learned to work around it by looking away from fireplaces, and people with torches. However if she is caught off guard she can freeze completely, or react with violence depending on the situation. This also causes her to have nightmares and insomnia, often aggravated by her sound sensitivity. Ali doesn't like crowded places, too many different voices in one room can make her very nervous. Se loves animals and nature, and has shot a few hunters (non-lethal shots) she encountered placing traps around the Pack's territory. She will never leave her bow behind, and will never allow anyone else to touch it under any circumstance.

Skills: Aside from her enhanced senses, Ali has a very good memory for details, she can usually tell people apart simply by their posture or the sound of their footsteps, and she can usually notice a shift in a person's expression even if it only lasts a second. She is an excellent swimmer, and loves water.

Companion: Ali has a black falcon named Tariq, as a friend. She found it wounded and saved it. The bird is very loyal and will usually fly around wherever she goes, she sometimes uses him to send messages to familiar places.

PostSubject: Re: Blackbird's Characters    Blackbird's Characters  Icon_minitimeWed Dec 22, 2010 9:47 pm

Name: Anne Turner (Annie)

Age: 16

Gender: female

Orientation: Straight

World/Canon: Stonewall Valley/Land of Valcrest, from my story The Journey

Description: Annie is 165cm tall, has jet black long wavy her, and dark brown eyes that make her seem slightly more pale than she actually is. She is thin and rather agile, but not actually skinny or fit. Long story short... She's average looking. Really.

Clothing: Annie usually uses a plain and simple long sleeved dress when in the city. However she uses shirt, pants and a black cloak when wandering about in the forest. her gloves, boots and cloak all belonged to her mother and have the drawing of red roses on them.

Personality: Annie is extremely friendly and enjoys talking a lot. She is almost always smiling and she is usually polite to people. All that makes her seem naive, but she is definitely not. She is extremely smart and very good judge of character, she can usually read people as if they were opened books. Although she usually keeps to herself about that.
She loves to study. She can learn everything there is to know about a subject or even another person in a very short period of time. When it comes to her friends she is very protective, and will always try to keep them from doing stupid or irrational things, the problem is... She is so stubborn that it's almost impossible for someone to do the same for her.

Being a healer Annie tends to put other people's well being before her own, and can become obsessive when coming across a problem she can't solve easily, skipping meals or depriving herself from sleep. Annie is also a extremely good liar and can hide her emotional responses very easily, although she never does that unless she is speaking with someone she considers to be a threat. She prefers to be honest at all times. Although, really... It's very hard to tell the difference.

Equipment: Annie inherited from her mother her "antidote kit" which is basically a wooden box filled with vials of several different substances, properly labeled. And a guide that goes with it. The guide is a book that contains the description of every substance in the kit, where to find it, how to obtain it and when to use it. Annie has every word of that book memorized, but she still carries it around, and even adds information to it from time to time. She owns a plain hunting knife, she usually never uses it though. She also carries a necklace of several little rubies with a gold cross pendant, around her neck. (looks a little like a rosary, but really isn't)
She also carries a staff made of some unknown black wood, that belonged to her mother.

Background: Annie was born and raised in the castle of the city of Brownstone. Her mother was the sister of the ruler of the city and the healer there. Annie was taught to recognize poisonous plants and animals before she even knew how to read, from the age of six she was trained to treat wounds and make potions. Her mother died when she was seven, exposed as former member of the Wolfpack, she was executed when refused to give her brother the location of their camp. Annie's godfather, a nice doctor by the name of Michael, continued her training. Even so, with time she grew to hate the castle and decided she would run away, or die trying.

When she was only twelve, in her third attempt to escape in a period of two months. She actually made to the forest, and then... Something caught her leg in the dark. It was a girl, and she was severely injured and struggling to stay conscious. Annie wanted to keep walking, she had gotten so close, but she couldn't simply leave someone to die. She ran back to the city and woke up Michael.
Meeting Ali changed Annie's way of seeing things the moment she discovered that she had saved an assassin. Although Ali wouldn't speak of her clan no matter what questions were asked, she talked to Annie about things she had heard of her mother. And Annie decided she definitely needed to find out more.
Ali recovered and left. Annie stayed behind and studied her mother's notes thoroughly. She discovered her mother had made her kit mostly by testing several poisons and their respective antidotes on herself, risking her own well-being. Antidotes and any other potion she would come up with. Annie figured it was a miracle she hadn't actually killed herself in the process.
After two years of studying and memorizing all of her mother's work... Annie left again. To find out everything she could about her mother's past, and therefore who her father might be.


Other info:

Enlightenment: Annie has the ability to hear people's thought and moving things with her mind. Although she has perfect control over the first skill, and chooses not to use it. She hasn't managed to control the second one that well, and if she is pushed to the point of anger, she may make things around her shatter to pieces (mostly glass, more severely stone and harder objects), or even push people away with extreme force. She likes to use this ability to levitate though, she finds it fun.

Fears and pet peeves: Annie is extremely afraid of lightning storms, and seems to believe that horses hate her so she will never ride if she can help it. She is also a lousy swimmer.

Name: Crystal Rivers (Crys)

Rank: Instructor

Age: 26

Gander: Female

Orientation: Straight

World/Canon: Stonewall Valley/Land of Valcrest, from my story The Journey

Description: Crys is tall, thin, and incredibly agile in spite of her blindness. She has dark red, wavy, long hair. Pale skin, and some freckles around her nose. She has beautiful green eyes, although they appear rather hollow most times... They shine very brightly when she's using her ability though.

Clothing: Crys usually wears plain shirts a light leather vest, and pants, and a dark brown hooded cloak.

Personality: Crystal appears to be indifferent most times. She made a habit out of hiding her emotions from people and keeping them at a distance. Even though she is aware of this habit, and works hard to stop pushing others away, that will always be her first instinct. For that reason has very few friends, people aren't willing or don't have the courage to insist on being around her.
With people that know her well enough to ignore her attitude, she is an extremely sweet, calm, and caring friend. Even if she rarely ever shows it, she cares deeply about her friends and is always caring for their mental and emotional state.

To people who don't know her well, she come of as cold, arrogant and even cruel at times. Even though that doesn't bother her in the slightest, she will be deeply hurt if one of her actual friends misunderstands her the same way. Sometimes it does happen.

As an instructor, and daughter of the leaders of the Wolfpack, Crys is very strict about the rules, and will not admit to any rule-bending from her recruits. She values honesty and is know to be able to easily gain the trust, and loyalty, of her recruits. She usually cares about their feelings, and more than just train them she will make sure that they find their place in the clan and see the camp as their home.
Even so, she does not take it easy on anyone. She will take extreme, and sometimes painful, measures to get them to learn what they need and understand that mistakes may be deadly. She will not respond to pleading and whining. Therefore her recruits tend to love her as a person, but hate her as a teacher. Very few of them actually get approved by her, most of them actually quit in the first year of training.

Equipment: Crys carries two Sai sheathed on her waist at all times. Other than that she carried hidden throwing knives, at least two, but usually more.

Background: Crystal was born daughter of the leaders of the Wolfpack, not only that, but their first child. Being so, she was born into a lot of responsibility. Unfortunately, she was also born completely blind. Daniela and Sebastian Rivers, leaders of the Pack, and Crystal's parents, actually believed that they would have to find someone outside their family to take command of the clan after their time had passed. No one actually believed Crys would ever make it past basic training.
Even though she was unable to see, Crys always showed incredible talent, and when she turned ten years old, her father began to teach her martial arts. Shortly after that she began training with blades, and throwing weapons. At the age of fourteen she became the youngest active assassin in the history of the clan. And at the age of seventeen the youngest instructor, and the first assassin to be promoted with a flawless record.

In spite of her incredible talent, and the respect she has earned from her clan, Crys is not what one would consider a happy person. At the age of twelve she discovered she could sense other people's emotions, and most times experience them as her own. That causes her a lot of pain, not to mention the loneliness she experiences for having to push people away constantly.
In time she learned to shield herself, however when people's emotions snap out of control around her, so does she. This has caused a huge deal of trouble throughout her life.


Other info:

Enlightenment: Crys is an empath. She senses people's emotions and constantly feels them herself. Although that can be painful and causes her to lose control of herself, it is very useful as well. Crys can always know when people are hiding things, lying to her, or suffering in silence. She uses this constantly for training her recruits and gaining their trust. She is also capable of identifying people easily this way, accurately to the point of being able to pick someone out of a crowd. She has the ability to shield herself from other people's emotions, but it gets harder depending of how intense those feelings are, and how close the person is to her. Physical contact can seriously aggravate her condition.

Fears and Pet Peeves: Crys is extremely afraid of not being able to connect to people. She dislikes physical contact and if caught off guard she might react in a very unpleasant way. She loves apples, carries them around and will usually offer them to people when in a good mood.

Other skills: Crys is extremely talented in hand-to-hand combat, and is usually capable to tell her opponents moves, before they are made. She is a great swimmer, and plays piano and flute.

Companion: Crys is usually seen in the company of a wolf she has named "Kayen". Around her he is incredibly friendly and playful like a puppy, but only around her. Kayen is extremely protective and will not let anyone near Crys if by any chance she does not trust that person. With her friends, however, he is usually indifferent. With some rare people, Crys is extremely close to, he will act as protective as he acts with her.

Name: Daniel Leon Turner (Danny)

Alias: Shadow

Rank: Active

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Orientation: Straight

World/Canon: Stonewall Valley/Land of Valcrest, from my story The Journey

Description: Danny has dark, messy, short hair, that constantly falls over his bright green ayes. He is 195cm tall, and has a very strong, yet agile, build. He has slightly tanned skin due to his habit of parading around shirtless when training. He also has several scars from his training years, one a little above his left eye.

Clothing: Danny usually dresses in black shirts, and a black leather vest, sleeveless most of the time. Eventually he wears a cloak, when the weather calls for it.

Personality: The first impression one would have of Danny is that he is nothing but a follower. He is usually quiet and tends to stand in the background in order to go unnoticed. However that is only an impression.

Danny is personally a very nice guy, he is fair and loyal to his family and his clan (it is all the same to him). He is friendly to strangers and is always willing to have drink and engage in a conversation. However no matter how long you talk to him, at the end he will have told you very little of himself, and discovered all there is to know about you. He can be manipulative to the point of making himself seem completely innocent of anything, and it has been a useful habit at times, but usually pushes people away since they can never tell if he is being honest, or even serious.

He is very protective with his closest friends, as well as his twin sister. Overprotective, most times.

Around his clan he is respected, if not feared, for his deeds. And treated almost with the same respect as an instructor, even though he has never been promoted, for unknown reasons.

Equipment: Danny has three weapons that are important to him. A Katana, that used to belong to Bastian River, and was given to him as gift when he completed his training. And two black steel daggers that belonged to his father.


Background: Danny was born the bastard child of one Katelyn (Rivers) Sanders and one David Turner. Danny's life from the moment he is was born to the age of twelve is unknown to everyone except the leaders of the Pack, and their daughter, Crystal.
Born in the city of Brownstone, along with his twin sister Jesse, Danny had a considerably normal life, even if not a happy one. Being born completely different from both his mother and her husband, it was definitely clear he and his sister were another man's children. That didn't exactly cause rage on his mother's husband, but complete indifference. Danny and Jesse were completely ignored by their "father" their entire lives.

After his mother's death, when he was only nine years old, Danny took it upon himself to take care of his sister, which he was definitely not old, or capable, enough to do.

One day when they were both twelve, after refusing to take Jesse to the market, he didn't notice her sneaking out of the house, and heading out alone.
After hours of searching around town he managed to find someone who had seen her leaving town with an older boy, towards the forest. Eventually he found her, bleeding with her clothes torn... (no need to elaborate more on this, right?)
Jesse lived, but she was never the same person after that. Seeing how his sister was suffering and overwhelmed with guilt for not being able to protect her, Danny went back to the market everyday and questioned everyone until he managed to find out who was the boy that had been seen with his sister

Two weeks later the boy was found in the exact same spot in the forest, with almost every bone in his body broken.
No one knew exactly how a ten year old kid could have done that to a sixteen year old who was twice his size, but they knew Danny did it, and so he was taken from his home to be executed the next day.

That night he was rescued from his cell by Bastian, and taken to the Wolfpack, along with his sister. There he was told that his mother's parents had actually raised Bastian and his brother Kyle. So, ever since she died he had been looking for him and Jesse.

Once in the Wolfpack Danny caused trouble for his instructors at every chance he got, he acted violently during his training, and after he broke the arm of his last instructor Bastian thought it would be wiser to train the boy himself.
Through Bastian's training, Danny met Crys. In a short period of time he managed to get her to beat the hell out of him, mostly due to his uncontrollable rage, but also because, according to her, he was a waste of space since he made no effort to improve himself.

In the following years Danny changed completely in order to prove he was in no way a waste of space, becoming very good friends with Crys in the process. Although most of the time they fight like cat and dog. That usually happens due to Danny's protective *coughs*jealous*coughs*possessive*coughs*completely obvious*coughs* attitude towards her. And the fact that she knows exactly what his feelings are, and he is very aware of it.

In spite of being persecuted by almost every girl in the Wolfpack, Danny doesn't seem to really care for them. Although he's not exactly a saint, that is more for the sake of trying to make Crys jealous. Occasionally it works, but he doesn't really know that.

He graduated to active in the same year Crys was promoted to instructor, at the age of 14. He quickly built a reputation for himself, even though his record was far from being as perfect as hers.

(His real father is Annie's uncle, that's why they share a surname)

Other info:

Enlightenment: Danny's ability is the reason why he managed to completely crush someone twice his size, although, he has no intention of using it for that anymore. He is able to harden his skin by assimilating the properties of any material he touches (steel, stone, diamond, and so on...). He is also capable of assuming other people's appearances and transforming into certain animals as long as he has physical contact with them up to 24h prior to his transformation.

Fears and Pet Peeves: Danny's biggest fear is to see someone he loves get hurt. Reason why he overprotects his friends, specially if they happen to be girls. He is also afraid of letting himself slip into a rage and hurt or kill someone again. he hates his middle name.

Skills: Danny is good playing drums and is a fantastic dancer, even though he rarely ever dances, he is rather shy about it.

Blackbird's Characters  Empty
PostSubject: Re: Blackbird's Characters    Blackbird's Characters  Icon_minitimeMon Jan 03, 2011 12:32 pm

Name: Joanne Rivers (Jo)

Alias: Scorpion

Rank: Expelled

Age: 31 (appears no older than 25)

Gender: Female

Orientation: "Eh... It varies" (That's how she'd put it, but I'm gonna go ahead and say she's bisexual)

World/Canon: Stonewall Valley/Land of Valcrest, from my story The Journey

Description: Jo has straight long dark reddish-brown hair, she usually let's it loose. She is about 175cm tall, thin and fit. Even though she's in her 30s, she appears to be no older than 25. She normally had blue eyes, however their color may change depending on what ability she uses.

Personality: Jo is... To put it simply, a maniac. She is cruel and sadistic and slightly pyromaniac. Even so, she is very loyal friend to those who aren't too terrified to be around her, and she can be extremely fun if you're not easily scared. Jo likes to toy with people's fears, and she does enjoy herself by making people she doesn't like suffer.
The best philosophy with her is... Better with her then against her.

With her friends, and in a more deeper level... Jo is a good person. She seems to care deeply enough for her friends to do anything they ask of her even if it's painful or risks her life. Still, she doesn't appreciate people trying to use her, and that is pretty much the worst mistake a person could make. In such cases... She is not at all forgiving.

In spite of her violent, and manic tendencies, Jo is at most times reasonable and controlled. Cold and uninterested when it comes to strangers. She likes children and she is quite playful and friendly with her friends when in a good mood.

Her favorite pass-time is to annoy Ali into shooting her, or scaring her with fire.

Equipment: Jo carries several hidden knives with her, of different sizes and shapes. She also owns a Katana that used to belong to her father.

Background: Joanne Rivers was born in the city of Little Valley daughter of one Sarah Johnson, and on Kyle Rivers. (Kyle is Crystal's uncle on her father side, and Sarah her aunt on her mother's side, so they are very much cousins).

Seconds after being born, the unnamed baby was considered dead, and taken away before her mother had the chance to get a look at her. Jo, however, was never dead to begin with. No one knows exactly if something was done to the baby, or if it was a coincidence that she didn't cry. However, moments after being taken by the doctor, she began to cry. Realizing that the child was still alive, Kyle Rivers chased after the doctor, but he seemed to have vanished with the little girl.

Jo's story after that is blurry. What is known is that Jo was found floating in a river and adopted by a family. This family she never speaks of, although it is rumored that the reason for that would have to do with the girl named Leah, who was her adoptive sister, and the way she drowned on a shallow stream the girls used to bathe in.

Unlike other enlightened who discover their powers at age of twelve, Jo's magical skills began to manifest at age ten. At age eleven she could move things with her mind, intrude on people's thought and even bend them to her will, if she wished.
When Jo was twelve her father finally located her, and took her to live with him. From this point on she took her current name, the one her mother had chosen for her. And after living, and training with her father for a year, she was sent to the Wolfpack since he believed she would be safer there.

Upon arriving in the Pack, Jo was the perfect recruit. She grew up in the leaders family and was practically a older sister to Crys and Vic. There was never a complaint from any of the instructors about her. She graduated to active at age 16 and was promoted to instructor at age 19.

There weren't many incident throughout Jo's time in the Pack...Until one day, when she was captured, and everything changed.
No one knows to this day who took her, or why. She never talks about what happened in the year she was gone.

She simply walked into camp one day, and without stopping to give out any information, she picked up her things and left. Most people believed she committed treason, and was not captured, but had ran away. Crys didn't really believe that and spoke in her behalf. Instead of being hunted down and executed she was considered expelled from the clan and left in peace.

Some who expelled from the clan is forbidden to make any kind of contact with any member, but... She kept in touch with Crys all the same, and even went as far as lurk around camp unnoticed.



Other info:

Enlightenment: Jo's magical enlightenment is indeed a rare one. Not only she was born with the gift of seeing the future, which is something she has absolutely no control over, but she is also capable of learning other people's abilities simply by observing them. This comes with rare exceptions. (Abilities such as Allison's, or Crystal's cannot be acquired). Jo is capable of using one single ability for unlimited time, however if she uses more than one she begins to, slowly, feel weaker. If she pushes herself above a certain limit, she is knocked unconscious, and may remain that way for at least 24 hours.
The abilities she most often uses are the following:

Teleport/Jump: The teleporting, or jumping allows Jo to transport herself to any location she can see, or picture clearly in her mind. She has, on occasion, reappeared in other dimensions and other periods of time by accident. Is not an exact science, if her thoughts drift from her destination for a split second... Bad things might happen. She can take up to 2 people with her by maintaining physical contact with them at all times while "jumping". Few were crazy enough to try that though.

Invisibility: Her (second) all time favorite, she uses it mostly to sneak in and out of camp. This does not protect her from being sensed by Crys, or heard by Ali.

Pyrokinesis: Yes... Burning stuff is her idea of fun. This sometimes might slip out of her control if she gets extremely angry. She had use this to kill people, but most times she uses it to scare Ali.

Regeneration: Jo has no idea how she picked this up. But her wounds will heal themselves almost immediately, although there is a limit to how many wounds will heal before this starts to fail. Jo has actually tested this by repeatedly slicing her wrists. Although she will not say how many times she's done so. If the wound is lethal (head, or heart), however, it will heal and completely drain her of energy, making her vulnerable to other attacks. Ali has on several occasions shot Jo "dead" simply out of spite, some people say that the first time it happened she didn't know Jo would get up.
This does not affect in anyway her ability to feel the pain of any inflicted wounds. She assumes that this is why her aging seemed to have stopped, she doesn't seem to have aged a day since the day she first made use of this ability. She was 25 years old at the time. She also has not been sick since them, or seems to be affected by any poison.

Telekinesis/Telepathy: Same as Annie. Although Jo is not at all as ethical, and she will not only intrude on people's thought but will also manipulate people using this ability if she considers it to be necessary.

Healing: She can heal wounds of others. However, doing so causes her extreme pain and exhaustion.

Word is... There are many more. These are the ones that have been seen.

Fears and Pet Peeves: Jo will not go near water streams, waterfalls, lakes, you name it. Don't mention this to her or she will physically hurt you.

Skills: Other than her various Enlightenments, Jo is a very skilled... Pianist, yep, true story. She is also skilled with all types of blades, and hand to hand combat. He enlightenment also allows her to learn things in an accelerated rate. She can learn a different language or a musical instrument in a matter of hours simply by listening.

Name: Luckas

Age: Unknown (appears to be in his 30s)

Gender: Male

Orientation: Straight

World/Canon: Stonewall Valley/Land of Valcrest, from my story The Journey

Description: Luckas has dark brown hair and deep blue eyes. About 190cm tall, strong build.

Personality: Luckas' personality is a mystery. He acts differently to whatever situation he is in. He is not opposed to violence, but he finds psychological torture a more effective method of getting people to give whatever he wants or needs from them.
He has no friends, family and feels no need to attach himself to another person. The only person he feels connected to is Jo, and he is determined to show her that he is the only other person capable of actually being there for her.

Equipment: Luckas carries only one weapon: A very special dagger.

Background:
What is know of Luke's background is this:
* He fought on opposite side of the Legendary Warriors (and that makes him centuries old), as well as on the opposite side of his twin brother.
* His real name is unknown.
* He was born somewhere in the city of Brownstone.

Recently, it is known that Luckas has been observing Jo ever since she was born. His several attempts to snatch her as a child failed due to her father's precautions to keep her safe. However he managed to keep observing her even so. He knows Jo almost as well as she knows herself, and he had repeatedly used such knowledge against her. His intentions are unclear, but mostly he tries to make her see that her attachment towards people is useless since eventually she will be forced to leave them behind.
He believes that they are both different for a specific reason, and has been trying to push her into an alliance.

Jo tends to refer to Luckas as an "annoying uncle", which is an simplistic way to view their kinship since her father's family descends from Luckas' brother.


Other info:

Enlightenment: Luckas has the same ability to learn and manipulate magic as Jo. Except he has centuries of knowledge and hundreds of powers on him, unlike her. Ironically, many of the abilities Jo has collected come from the few unpleasant interactions with him, however, much to his disappointment, she refuses to use them.

Fears and Pet Peeves: Unknown

Skills: Unknown

Companion: Luckas sees no point in companionship.
