Overall Physical Description: Aranis’ appearance is deceptively young, denying his true age. Try as he might, no stubble will grow upon his face, leaving him trapped with the outwards image of an adolescent of roughly eighteen years. His facial features are soft, with his deep purple eyes staring out intensely. The right eye of Aranis is always closed, though whether by choice or not is indeterminable. Aranis’ brilliant red hair is tidily maintained, resting relatively flat upon his head, with bangs reaching his eye level. At the top of his neck, his hair is put into a slender ponytail which extends to the base of his waist, tied with a purple cloth. One of Aranis’ bangs in the center of his forehead is a brilliantly bright white. His skin is entirely unblemished and scarless, kept clean as well. Around his neck, Aranis wears a steel chain with military dog tags on them. On his torso, he wears a simple white t-shirt, with a gray military dress uniform jacket draped loosely over his shoulders, such that both shoulders are covered, though his arms are not within in the sleeves. His t-shirt is tucked into similar gray uniform pants, which are in turn tucked into black combat boots. Alternatively, on formal events he wears a white military dress uniform in proper form. When in enemy territory for non military reasons, he instead wears an oversized tattered brown trench coat with torn gray pants and worn brown boots, as well as a beige newsboy cap upon his head, allowing his skin and hair to become dirty and grimy in appearance. Aranis has a slight build, being of a slender frame, though his muscles are clearly defined. He walks and stands in an aloof manner, and is not likely to leave much of an impression in people’s minds. Oftentimes, he may be seen smoking a cigarette, though seldom in circumstances where it would reflect poorly upon him, such as formal events. Additionally, he usually wears blue contacts in order to better blend in with Reggs, as well as a fingerless black glove on his right hand for the same purpose.
Strengths: Aranis can generally maintain a level headed disposition regardless of events which occur, and pays a high level of attention to his surroundings. When needed, he can work well with others, and analyze situations well. He is also an efficient close and mid range fighter.
Weaknesses/Fears: Aranis is often lazy, which may reduce his performance in non essential tasks. Oftentimes, a reluctance to bother with speaking may prevent him from sharing ideas. Lastly, his levelheaded nature can be overridden by his enjoyment of fights and the egging of Ifrit. In terms of fears, Aranis has a mild fear of heights and becomes motion sick in air vehicles. Lastly, he is less apt to oppose a Regg’s ideas and orders regardless of affiliation so long as they aren’t actively fighting.
Overall Mental/Emotional Description: Aranis generally gives off the impression that he is lazily observing his surroundings. Possessing a fair degree of intellect and stratagem, many say the gifts are wasted on someone like him. Not one to put in effort the majority of the time, he prefers to go with the flow. Despite lacking motivation, Aranis is acutely aware of the environment around him to such a degree that he meticulously studies others. He solely becomes excited when he has the privilege of partaking in a good fight, yet even then he keeps a bored manner of behavior externally, with a level headed enjoyment internally. However, should a fight continue to escalate to an extreme scale, he may lapse into a near maniacal state of euphoria. The break from his normal demeanor appears when one intrudes upon his laziness, either by waking him from slumber, or by otherwise dragging him to work when he’s occupied by other activities, which generally results in an almost childish type of response, consisting of moaning and griping. When in groups, Aranis usually just goes along with whatever the group is doing, albeit with some measure of complaint in the case that work is required. In terms of anger, causing Aranis to get enraged is quite difficult as he usually just casually disregards irritants. Neither loyal nor treacherous, seeing whether or not Aranis will risk himself for you is really a coin toss decided by the risks, rewards, gratification, value of the friend, and most importantly, the effort entailed. Aranis gets along well with Ifrit, though he occasionally becomes slightly annoyed by her excessive enthusiasm. Similarly, he likes animals though he sometimes finds their energy overwhelming. Fire is of a high level of fascination to Aranis, he is completely unfazed by it, and is often fine with letting it run its course once ignited. As a last note, Aranis has a general dislike for Altamones, though not to such a degree that it blinds his judgement, as well as being slightly intimidated by Reggs, which in extreme cases may even cause him to act in an almost servile manner towards them if they are not fighting.

Back Story Overview
Home City: Western Odrea
Current Residence: Western Odrea
- Backstory and History:
Backstory:Born in a tumultuous era within a small city, Aranis’s childhood was one of strife and hardship, a common motif for children in that day and age. His parents killed for their race in petty conflict, they hadn’t lasted into the age where Aranis could even recall their faces. Survival through the great charity of others gave way to survival by means of thievery on the streets. Through loitering about classroom windows and notes swiftly snatched from the bags of stumbling students the smatterings of a semblance of an education were able to be achieved on the part of Aranis. Yet one could only survive on the merits of childhood mischief for so long. It was only a matter of time before the local police grew wise the mischief of Aranis, and took the expected actions needed to apprehend him. Per the standard of the time, Aranis was to be executed both for his crimes and his race. His execution scheduled for his eighth birthday by some cruel twist of fate, Aranis was condemned to rot in a damp and dark cell until his time to exit the world of the living finally arrived. Or so he thought. Just days from the moment of reckoning, a clean shaven Regg in a black officer’s uniform appeared with an offer too good to refuse. Granted, the offer still was terrible, but one faced with the alternative of death, most anything is appealing. And so it was that the eight year old Aranis was spared death to be conscripted into the “Blood Initiative”. After joining, Aranis soon came to recognize the nature of the “Blood Initiative”, it was was a program run by a Regg organisation which sought to exploit the racial abilities of others, in order to create their own task force of fighting units. Yet with a recognition of the nature of the program, Aranis did not necessarily take any issue with partaking in it. Within the program, both he and the other children within it received ample education as well as highly nutritional sustenance. Granted, they also received rigorous military training meant to convert them into efficient killers, but gratitude for being alive goes a long way and living on the streets is fairly simple to improve upon. Furthermore, the promise of protection from future genocides was motivation as well. The initial population of the program when Aranis joined was a little over a hundred individuals all about his age, give or take a few years. Aside from a marked lack of any Reggs within the recruits, a wide variety of most races were present within the program, and all were treated fairly equally. Two years after the conception of the program, numbers had dropped to only ninety-three participants as some of the weaker individuals had been weeded out through the strenuous training. By this point, racial abilities remained unlearned amongst the students, but they were otherwise being shaped into ideal soldiers. For the most part, interaction between children was strictly limited, likely for the same purpose. Per the cliche, the first hard test came about at this same point in time, when Aranis’ age was eleven. Having fallen asleep the night prior in the comfort of his bunk, Aranis was quite shocked when he woke up in an isolated forest biome. A single bottle of water and an attached note informed him of his objective: within the forest with him was another candidate, whom he must slay if he sought to be rescued. A fairly simple objective, and exactly what one might expect of that type of program. Given these circumstances, Aranis’ first action was, to conceal himself in the top branches of a tree and return to sleep. Eventually mustering himself from his stupor to witness a now dark night sky, Aranis finally got about to getting to work on the assigned objective. Carefully treading through the darkness, he was able to start a small fire for warmth using the basics of survival skills. By night, smoke posed a lesser threat to him, yet as he’d hoped, still enough to draw the attention of the other child stranded in the wilderness with him. As one stalked about the fire seeking the flame promised prey, Aranis was nowhere to be found, having lit the fire and hidden. A cracking noise alerted the predatory youth, as the lazily made fire pit leaked embers, igniting some nearby dry shrubberies igniting them before the eyes of the stalker. Spreading without control, the fire coated the forest with smoke and embers. When the flames finally burned out, the sole survivor to be located was Aranis, who had slept through the whole ordeal in the safety of a small enclave. Quite literally out of the fire, Aranis and the other members of the program who had all won out against their own opponents. Now only forty five in number, the culling continued as training intensified. Now, socialization amongst trainees had become allowed by the supervisors. The two greatest facets of the newer training were the ranking system and the introduction of training in racial abilities. Foremost, the candidates were now ranked against their peers based on class scores, training exercises, and weekly duels between the candidates, and based on their aptitude for racial abilities. Aranis had at the point been introduced to his spirit Ifrit, and like the others there, was beginning to come closer to realizing his potential. Much of the aptitude he had remained wasted though, as he’d often sleep in classes, skip training exercises, and would bow out of any fight that wasn’t against someone “fun”. He was hardly incompetent at any tasks, and as a consequence managed to keep himself in the middle rankings, around the mid twenties. Progressing in mastering fire with Ifrit and managing to have success in studies, his skill set continued to grow. After three years in the second stage, a fourteen year old Aranis was barely hovering at rank twenty one, with an unimpressive fight record of 138 forfeits, 17 ties, 57 wins, and 62 losses as well as decent scores in other areas, brought down mainly by his own negligence in attention and attendance. The only notable factor in his record was that he had never lost a fight to another fire user, even those ranking within the top ten. That year, the introduction of a new exercise was introduced, live field exercises. Monthly, the forty five would split into nine groups with one officer chaperone, and partake in skirmishes against their peers, and in some cases, real world combat observations. As per his low standard, Aranis was generally disliked by groups for his reputation as a slacker which earned him the resentment of those in all ranges of the ranks. Despite this seeming disadvantage, Aranis’ easygoing nature still allowed him to mesh with these squads, and his coordinating abilities actually was able to bolster a slight boost in rank. Through these opportunities of interaction, Aranis managed to befriend a few of his colleagues, but in the face of a highly competitive environment, most comraderies were shallow at best. Finally, at the ripe young age of sixteen, the program was reaching its finale. The entire group, divided once more into nine equal squads led by members of the top nine would be doing a collaborative mission in the real world, observed by their superiors. The mission would serve as the last test, to determine who would be able to advance in the program.The objective of the final exam was entirely simple; eliminate the entirety of a small bandit camp a hundred men strong consisting mostly of Reggs. Led on by the program’s third ranked prodigal altamone, Aranis’ squad along with all the others departed for their objective. Using long ranged attacks, the lookouts of the camp were easily disposed of by the cadet force, creating the impression that the mission would be going smoothly. Such trends continued as other bandits were mowed down with ease, caught off guard just within the confines of the encampment. The stealth of the operation was short lived however, one of the bandits managing to activate an alarm, alerting the others. Armed men rushing the youths, conflict intensified, and in pressure began to mount. A few of the lower ranked candidates, eager to boost their status by any means necessary, broke their leaders’ orders, being punished for their mistakes by gunfire. The chaos of combat continued to escalate, until the squads were thrown into the throes of battle, struggling in cases to maintain cohesion. Throughout this entropy of a first real battle, Aranis, egged on by Ifrit, was doing his own part, inflicting fiery pain upon his opponents. Generally lacking sufficient armaments, the bandits fell one by one, inevitably leaving the Blood Initiative trainees victorious. Following the mission, thirteen individuals had died. There were no casualties within the teams of the top three fighters. In jubilation, the remaining thirty two celebrated their victory, but for some, the gratification was short lived. Upon returning to the compound, the candidates were staunchly informed that based on their final scores, those not in the top twenty would be removed from the program, likely to be faced with termination. Aranis’ rank was nineteen. With no pause for rest, the remaining twenty candidates were now faced with an additional challenge. Reduce the numbers to ten through the same means employed in the first round, random combat to the death against a single opponent. The fights were seeded such that members of the top ten would be placed against the others, which had the general purpose of favouring those in the top ten. When learning his opponent would be the rank three, Aranis acknowledged certain disadvantages. However, Aranis was also glad to note, that the rank three was an altamone who specialized in the element of fire. A fierce battle ensued, Aranis’ lazy image shattering as he lost himself in the glee of a good fight. Blazing blows filled the duel arena, and when the smoke cleared, Aranis was once more left a victor, surrounded by ember and ash, battered and tired but still standing. Aranis’ fight was just about the only upset within the battles, the only other victory against the top ten being that of rank eleven against rank eight, which was hardly a stretch fight to begin with. The rank nine and rank thirteen fighters’ duel had brought mutual destruction, so hence at the conclusion of graduation, there existed nine members of the first Blood Initiative task force. Their group received the designation “Terra” with each member of the group gaining identification by means of a terrestrial ecosystem, “Prairie” in the instance of Aranis. Ranks persisted with corresponding harder missions being assigned to those of the higher ranks, so some small competitive elements persisted, but the threat of being eliminated was mostly gone now, outside the danger inherent in assignments. Twenty three years old, Aranis persisted as the rank 7 member of Terra, participating on missions, training, and occasionally helping in the training of the next generation of the Blood Initiative, which would be forming the Aqua group in many years. Aranis had a fairly acceptable life with some minor comforts. Amongst the squad, the members had managed to grow much closer without the cloying pressure of their lives depending on a single number. Performing various operations against revolutionary groups and the like became standard fare. All such efforts ended swiftly with the rise of the monarch government, which absorbed the Blood Initiative into one of its facets. Most remained the same, but crushing racially varied terrorist groups began to become more difficult. In a penultimate mission to eliminate the organization Liberty Skies in which all members of Terra participated, travesty struck. Desert had betrayed the group, leading them into a trap in which the terrorists attempted to eliminate them. All the forests but rank one Taiga fell in an instant. Rank two, Mountain, shielded the remaining four members as they were attacked from all sides by a variety of conventional and supernatural attacks. With the greatest firepower, Savannah was able to eliminate the treacherous Desert and a good number of others. From that point, the other three including Aranis supported Taiga, allowing for the elimination of the other targets, against all odds, though a fair number of the enemy were able to flee. Following this great failure, the Blood Initiative was ended. Fortunately for the surviving members of Terra, they were spared elimination by merit of their exemplary military service. Presently, only Mountain remains consistently within the Monarch military, having been able to transfer to a different branch. Savannah works as a gun for hire with little contact with the others and Taiga hasn’t been heard from for years. As for Aranis, he simply went with the flow, generally just performing contract work, which in most cases is for the Monarch Government. When not working, he aimlessly wanders the world. Could he be looking for something? Hiding from something? Or simply just following his whims? Only time can reveal all. History:

Pets
Name: Paylir
Gender: n/a
Species: Lugrim
- Information:
Description: A giant twelve foot tall skeletal golem species. These large beasts are said to once be Core form Vanuteis as they wear the skull of their former titan self as a helmet. They are a rather friendly species however when aggravated they can be highly dangerous because they have cut ties with all emotions except anger and rage so you must either run, kill, or try to handicap them. Paylir has a purple bandanna tied about his right wrist.
Personality: As one would expect of a member of this species, Paylir is pretty quiet and emotionless the majority of the time. It begrudgingly allows Aranis to lazily take advantage of its size, by using it as shade or for lifting. Like its master, not much really bothers Paylir, so witnessing the famous rage of its species from it is unlikely.
Name: Laylir
Gender: Female
Species: Kredus
- Information:
Description: Fluffy monkey creatures only a foot tall that when scared, upset, or hurt become rather vicious and dangerous. Caution when approaching these animals. Laylir has a purple bandanna around her neck.
Personality: Laylir is exceedingly attached to Aranis, and often enjoys using him as a personal climbing tree. When encountering strangers, she reacts shyly, being apt to duck behind nearby objects, and then hiss menacingly if approached. Oftentimes, she may try to swipe food from others.
Name: Vaylir
Gender: Male
Species: Fumaha
- Information:
Description: A land/water mammal that not only can breath in air but it also can breath underwater. It's body can self adapt to the environment that it is in if the environment is mostly air based or water based. when on land it is slightly furry with a pure white coat. its eyes shift from solid black to solid silver. When its mouth is open it has extremely sharp teeth. When underwater it develops gills and webbed feet. its eyes glow a luminous blue color and its teeth grow 5 inches in length. It eats seafood on land and land food in the sea. It is 5 ft tall. Vaylir’s front right leg has a purple bandanna tied on it above it’s foot.
Personality: Best described as aloof, Vaylir generally likes to loiter about, taking naps with Aranis on occasion. Not phased easily, Vaylir will more likely than not ignore people the majority of the time. While capable of carrying others, he seldom cooperates in this matter. At any given moment, Vaylir would probably strike someone as being conceited, looking down on others.
