Okay, I am feeling extremely bored and bleeeggh at work right now, so I'll just disclose some info on SC 'cause I feel like it.
Basically, here's the load of SC characters and a short description of their personalities. Their pasts won't be included because most of them are...well...spoilerific.
Major Charaters and Minorly Major/Majorly Minor Characters:
Hix, 20, male, yellow eyes and chestnut brown hair
Sword, Kyuubi, 9 main elements
A pretty selfless mercenary who wanders around taking on odd jobs, usually involving Spirits. He's basically me =) Unknown to himself, he is a rather charismatic leader (or rather, I hope he'll be...)
Zephiris, 18, male, white/silver hair and dark red eyes
Projectiles/Element, Eagle, Wind
A laidback, slightly lazy man who resides in a ghost village in the mountains by the Dark Forest (name pending...). He is skilled at living in the wild and observing situations accurately (in other words, he's the strategist of the group, which isn't saying much).
Kit, 19, male, dark brown hair and yellow eyes
Two crescent-shaped blades, Wolf, Ice
A naive, slightly cowardly, and inexperienced-at-life boy/man who had met Hix on an earlier trip. He transports goods for his adopted family by cart. He is also extremely book-smart.
Hageshi, 23, male, dark brown/dark red hair and brown eyes (?)
Spear, Dragon, Fire
A brash, rude, violent man who encounters the main group by trying to kill them. A prominent assassin of the Dragon Clan (duh). He is the physically strongest (speed, strength, etc.) of the group (this by no means means he's stupid...he just doesn't think before he acts).
Balmung, 14, male, bright red hair and green eyes (?)
Two-ended Sai (you'll see what I mean in the pictures), Tiger, Lightning
An ambitious boy who also happens to be the youngest General of the Knights. He's extremely cheerful and believes he can take anything on (read: overconfident). He looks up to the other Generals, however, especially Kai, but that doesn't prevent him from not following orders sometimes. He also gets along with Ratiel better than most other people.
Cerberus (young), 19, male, dark brown hair and yellow eyes
Scythe, Three-headed Dog, Fire & Dark
A quiet, introverted boy who keeps mostly to himself. The only one he really talks to is Kai. He has been in the Knights ever since he was little, so it was no wonder he's considered one of the strongest and most fearsome Knights (and now General) of the group. He's extremely loyal (both to the Knights and Kai) and often listens to others rather than makes his own decisions, but in a pinch, he will rely on what his instinct tells him.
Ratiel, 21, male, light purple/lavender hair and same color eyes
Staff, Rat, Earth
A slightly arrogant, stuffy, narcissistic, sadistic, cynical, and sarcastic man who has a soft spot for women and children (and actually treats them kindly). But then, all his faults can be excused to some extent when the fact that he's slightly off his rocker is taken into account. He's extremely smart and excellent at handling undercover or fiscal businesses. No one really gets along well with him but Balmung, and he even distances himself from him. He's not the best at following orders, preferring to decide what to do himiself (though this isn't usually a problem since his decisions and the official ones often coincide).
Kai, 27, male, dark brown hair and dark brown eyes
Two Gi's (?) connected by rope, Sea Serpent, Water
A rather serious yet idealistic man who has been feared and respected as one of the "Previous Generation" Generals. He was good friends with Cerberus (elder) and Neidd. He cares after his subordinates extremely well, treating them as though they were family. He is a man of his word and loyal to the Knights, but he actually thinks about the orders before acting them out, sometimes changing them to minimalize casualties or if he thinks there's something just plain wrong.
Mysthel, ?, male, brown-yellow hair on top, white on bottom and green eyes (and brown skin)
Swallow, Blue Dragon, Wood
A laidback, cheerful man who prefers to watch from the sidelines. He's extremely passive and will sometimes manipulate others to get what he wants and seems to know a great deal, though he doesn't let on exactly how much. He's good at heart though. For some reason, he is especially interested in Hix (not in that way, you people). He's currently serving as a guide through the Dark Forest (name still pending...).
Kurehou, ?, male, bright crimson red hair and black eyes (?)
Fans (iron or otherwise), Red Phoenix, Fire
An uptight man who values traditions and the like. He can often be found observing others rather than joining in the commotion, whatever it may be. He was once one of the Generals of the Knights when it was first founded 20 years ago, but he doesn't seem to have aged since then. He and Mysthel seem to know each other and often at odds with each other.
Byahu, ?, male, dark brown hair and green eyes
Claws (Bungkuks?), White Tiger, Wind & Metal
A mysterious man. (shush, I haven't thought too much about him yet)
Kabuto, ?, male, dark brown hair and black eyes
Halberd, Black Turtle, Water
A man who lives in the north and doesn't like to be seen in society. He's grown cynical over the years, especially after living alone for such a long time. He seemed to be different in the past... (another one I haven't really thought about...)
Jet, ?, male, yellow brown hair, blue eyes
Sword & Gun, Yellow Dragon, Earth
A silent man who doesn't express his emotions on his face or eyes. However, he seems to be extremely compassionate, considering his actions, and will never hesitate to help others, even if it means taking on their burdens himself (which, more often than not, is what happens).
Katheris, 20, female (OMG O_O), white/silver hair and blue eyes (and brown skin)
Cloth (don't ask), feathered white dragon, Light (i guess...?)
A compassionate young woman who is sort of the figurehead of the Dragon Clan. She is usually the main performance when it comes to dances and festivals, and she also has a nice voice. She is usually quiet and passive, but when she needs to be, she can be extremely direct and stubborn (or extremely playful and cheerful, depending on the situation =) ). She isn't so much concerned for her safety as for others. She's also Hageshi's fiancee.
Lan, 20, male, white/silver hair and blue eyes (and brown skin)
Fists/Ki, feathered white dragon, Light
Katheris' twin brother. He usually accompanies his (barely) older sister in the dances and such. He despises Hageshi, thinking him unworthy of his sister. Unlike Katheris, Lan is an extrovert, preferring to voice his opinions rather than keeping them inside. He tends to be extremely level-headed in emergencies and missions (unless they concern Katheris).
Karlo, 18, male, light blue/grey hair and yellow eyes (and light blue skin)
???, Water Dragon, Water
He acts as the guardian of the gates to the Dragon Clan Palace. He's also Hageshi's best friend, whom he's helped out of trouble quite a few times. Unlike him, Karlo's always rather calm and quiet, even when he's furious (which can sometimes be even worse than Hageshi's outbursts of anger). He is extremely loyal to the clan and may even place this loyalty above his friendship...
Cail, 24, male, dark red/brown hair and red eyes
???, ???, ???
He's the devious and mischievous gatekeeper to the invaded Faunaac Castle. He cares a lot for his younger brother, Behl, though. (okay okay, he'll be important someday. I just want to put him here for record-keeping sakes.)
Behl, 24, male, blond hair and blue eyes
???, ???, ???
The more naive and innocent-looking of the two siblings. However, he can be cruel and sadistic when needs be. He tends to listen to whatever Cail says. (ditto for Behl as for Cail...)
Equaria, 20, female (ANOTHER ONE!), black hair and red eyes (?)
???, ???, ???
The current Princess of Faunaac, daughter of Ambience. She is idealistic but also slightly ignorant and lacking in self-confidence, trusting that her father is doing what he thinks is best for the country. (considering that her dad is one of the most important characters in the dang story, I really haven't developed these characters at all.)
Ambience, 40+ (...), male, light brown hair and black eyes
???, ???, ???
The original founder of the Knights, the current King of Faunaac, and the leader of the rebellion that invaded the castle 20 years ago and drove out (or killed) the previous royalty. No one knows his true motives (because I haven't thought them up yet), but many assume that he is aiming for a higher and greater power or perhaps expanding the territory (which requires leveling the mountains surrounding the country), causing the people to become restless.
Minor Character List:
Some of these may be moved up to the "Major Characters and others" list later, but right now I'm becoming lazy =)
Teria, Schwarz, Hix, April, Yito, Kirite, Kirite's enemy (shush), Mrs. Dorchaat, Kayla, Neidd, Cerberus (elder), Freija, THE elemental dragons (not those listed above): Fire, Water, Wind, Dark, Light, Metal, Wood, Thunder, Earth; um...any more? =\
Let's leave it there for now. I'll prolly update this later...
Hope you all find it useful/make you want to read the story! XD
