My characters:
Name: Xavros Talbot
Nickname (Optional): Gabriel, Xav
Gender: Male
Age: Eons old, but much younger than Ventus
Appearance: A powerful, rugged looking man with a spiked-looking beard, long lower canines that jut from his lips, grey hair, and gleaming golden eyes. He keeps his lower torso/legs in a more lupine, bipedial form, but can shapeshift his appearance as needed. Normally he wears royal-looking azure clothing, and always has a sword sheathed at his side.
Personality: Mysterious, secretive, esoteric, but is also warm, protective and friendly. Has a strong sense of justice. When something catches his interest, he can become rather outgoing and friendly.
From: OC, based on Magic: The Gathering, used in another casual RP
Special Abilities (Optional): Shapeshifting, walking between planes of existence (although this takes a considerable amount of energy), casting spells of varying natures by tapping into the energies of the land (limited by the amount of mana he can pull from the land), summoning physical manifestations of his bonds with other people (Personae, essentially). To a minor extent he can mirror the abilites of others, although he needs to train hard to retain the use of such abilities. Can jump between mirrored surfaces as if they were portals (this is significantly less straining but more limited than planeswalking). He also can remember most events of his past in vivid detail (it's the blank gaps that worry him, though)
Weapons: A sword engraved with the symbol of Avacyn's Collar, that glows with a holy light.
Backstory: Xav was raised as an orphan in the town of Avabruck, on the plane of Innistrad, a plane afflicted by vampires, zombies, demons, and werewolves. He spent time as an apprentice to a blacksmith named Flint, and later joined the ranks of the Cathars of Avacyn's church, in an effort to protect his wife and child. However, he was bitten by a lycanthrope, and later that month awoke to find his family completely missing from his home, with everything in his home clawed and smashed to pieces. Assuming he'd been the one to cause their end, he sought to end his own suffering, and walked to the highest cliff he could find. He hurled himself from the edge, his planeswalker spark igniting just as he was about to perish. After many adventures in other planes of existence, and as he managed to gain control of his lycanthropic condition, he and his new allies sought to return home and help cure the werewolves of his plane by resurrecting the great Archangel, Avacyn herself. While they were successful, and her Cursemute did manage to turn the ferocious werewolves into the noble Wolfir, he had no luck in curing himself, and had unknowingly drawn the shards of a great beast's essence into himself, weaking his control over his lycanthropy, and nearly killing his own allies on numerous occasions. This being eventually took complete control of his body, and revealed itself to be Ventus, the father of all werewolves and the great elder elemental of the wind, and he sought vengeance for a betrayal of eons past. Xav's friends managed to free his will in the battle just enough for him to draw upon the power of the bonds he'd forged with them. After defeating and weakening this great being, however, instead of finishing it off, Xav offered mercy, and helped his former usurper get back on his feet.
Name: Ventus
Nickname (Optional): Ven
Gender: Male
Age: Countless eons old
Appearance: He normally takes the form of a giant white wolf, although when speaking with human-sized beings he takes the form of a white anthropomorphic wolf. If he doesn't wish to be seen, he usually fades into the air around him, or he inhabits Xav's body.
Personality: Proud, fierce, and vengeful during serious situations, but also very lighthearted and easygoing outside of them. Holds grudges.
From: My OC, inspired by a being in Werewolf: The Forsaken, used in another casual RP
Special Abilities (Optional): He can manipulate air and gases to his will, and disperse his own body into pure air. He has the ability to inhabit/possess other bodies to an extent, but only really does this with his friend Xavros. He was greatly weakened after their fierce battle, but gained the ability to summon a Persona of his own.
Weapons: Two jagged-looking blades that can split into three claw-like blades each.
Backstory: Ventus is the elder elemental incarnation of the winds, the mate of a great Moon spirit, and was the father of the original generation of werewolves on Innistrad. As he aged, though, his previous children saw how he was growing weaker, and eventually tried to strike him down for good so he could no longer hold them back in their hunts. However, as he had been slain, his spirit shattered into fragments that possessed his 'children', turning them into mindless, feral beasts that could spread this affliction through their bites. While the transformations were eventually limited to when the fragments were 'riled up' (usually by seeing the full moon, which reminded him greatly of his mate), the moon spirit herself was angered at her childrens' actions, cursing them with a weakness to her most sacred metal, silver. After the archangel Avacyn 'cured' the werewolves, the fragments of his spirit coalesced into another being, the one who still held his affliction. As he reassembled himself inside of Xavros's essence, he was able to influence the werewolf's actions, not only seeking a way to reconstruct his old body, but to make someone, anyone, able to sympathize with his plight, to suffer what he had to suffer through, or if that didn't seem possible, take out every Wolfir descended from his own lineage. After the great battle between the two, Ventus's heart was touched by the 'human's kindness, and the two still work with each other to this day, treating one another as brothers would.
