Heroic BeginningsName: Apollo Farpost Age: 16 Gender: Male Race: Hume Class: Free Lancer Gear: Walking Stick: Wooden stave that comes up the chest. It looks like it could break at any second. Casual Clothing: Minimal protection, but it doesn't hinder movement in the slightest. Leather Gloves: Made to protect the hands to some degree. Silver Tag: Inscribed with "Apollo". It was found on Apollo as a baby, and ended up being his namesake in the following years. Backpack: [Currently contains] Potion x2
Antidote x3
Gil x50Under the Surface Biography: Apollo's stay in the town of Farpost began in a very unusual way. Somewhere around the age of 3, by anyone's best guess, he was simply found wandering around a field, without any hint of a parent to look after him. The boy simply wore the clothing common to the region, and his only identification was a necklace bearing the word "Apollo", which was generally agreed to be his name. He was given shelter for a short while, as the villagers waited for his family to show up, but as time passed, no one showed up to claim him, and he was passed between families as they each took the time to care for him. Without Farpost realizing it, Apollo had become the whole village's child, and his stay became a permenant one. Day by day, the young child grew into a teenager, picking up a few skills from the people that were taking care of him at the moment. Apollo could farm, fish, run a store, and many other things, but nothing seemed to pull his interest in the slightest. The only thing that he seemed destined for was a life of trouble, as he slowly funnelled his excess energy into pulling pranks on the people taking care of him at the moment. Eventually, they would get fed up and pass him along to the next, leaving the boy to continually try and break free of the boredom of his life, always reaching for the horizon, even if his world really was the town. The young man knows that his childhood is coming to an end, and though he wishes well for the people that took him in, a town like this can only hold him for so long. In the spirit of his arrival, Apollo is ready to begin his destiny as a traveler. Special skills: Due to a paticularly sharp tounge, Apollo has had good practice getting in and out of fist fights, so he can handle himself against most boys his age. Against someone stronger, however, he rarely even tries to fight back. Personality: After being tossed between caretakers over the years, Apollo has learned some very basic rules of survival. He never gets too attached to anyone in paticular, for one, and he tends to be able to cut ties with someone without feeling a bit of remorse. Apollo can be slightly disloyal, especially when he thinks of someone else as more deserving of respect, but as long as someone helps him and finds a way to demand his help, he'll stick around until the end. In everyday conversation, Apollo has the odd talent to pick a fight with just about anyone, whether by his disrespect, reflex-like sarcasm, or the fact that he is generally just a smart a** to begin with. Goal: To see the world. In the Mirror

Heroic BeginningsName: Winter Aeyeta Age: Eighteen Gender: Male Race: Maghi Class: Free Lancer Gear: Knives, Gill. Dirty ragged clothes, magic set. Under the SurfaceBiography: In the beginning, Winter lived in an un-named town. It was your average society, a bunch of people living in unison. He was in an average family, a caring mother, a fun father, and his strong older brother. Winter was the kind of guy who just wished that things would change every once in a while. He got his wish. Days after his seventh birthday, his home village was attacked. Not the normal kind of ransack attack, but a full scale rampage attack. Only he survived. The attack was directed by a Beasot group. It wasn't a normal peaceful Beasot group, but a ravenous one driven to insanity. Months ago, they had started asking for fees on their protection. When the town finally ran out of money, the raid started. There was no warning, and the town was obliterated. The only reason he survived was because of his brother. His brother had asked him to do an errand for him, and once Winter returned, there was nothing left. In the aftermath, Winter had nowhere to go. His family was dead. Actually, his entire home town was dead. He cursed the raiders to that day on, that some day, he would get revenge, but without a home, he was going to get nowhere. Years later, he was found wandering the roads with a lost hope. During his travels, he met a wandering circus, and took a job there in desperation. There, he learned many tricks and secrets to make an audience that real magic was at hand, when it was really not. He was also extremely good with acrobatics, and was then renowned for that. Once he had enough money, he set off on his own adventure, seeking another way to make profit. He went to work at a tavern. Life at his work was swift and easy, he made money easily and got to meet lots of people. However, he met another dilemma, it wasn't really exciting enough. He heard many stories of adventurers who ventured out into the world, very few who actually came back. This inspired Winter to someday go on an adventure on his own. Until that day... Special skills: Magic Tricks (Not real magic, but the kind that plays with the eye). Knows most languages. Personality: Winter is kind of a player-ish person. He tends to hang out with girls more often then guys, and often flirts with girls with no real purpose. He's nice and caring, but also stubborn, and somehow always wins in debates. He'll be joking around most of the time, but at certain times, he can be really serious if you get him in the right spot. If he has a troubled mind, he'll try to not show it at all, hoping that nobody else will get worried. Goal: To make a fortune and to avenge his family. In the Mirror
