Name: Fable RedsonAge: 16
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Personality:
Fable is rather demure and naive, but makes a good friend to those who know her and is very faithful to whoever enters her heart. She can be rather serious and sensible at times, but there is always the same mischievous glint in her eyes that hints that she longs for excitement and adventure. She is the type of girl whose curiosity is forever getting the better of her. Fable's heart is in the right place and she would do whatever she could to make her friends and the ones she loves happy. At times, she can be a little distant, lost in her own little world, but she's sharp and usually knows everything about everything. She is reluctant to step out of her comfort zone, but often she does either to impress others or give herself a sense of achievement. To be perfectly honest, she's quite ladylike. She is incredibly careful when it comes to carelessness and she never attempts anything without thinking it through first. Fable doesn't like to rely on others and will do whatever she can to keep from hurting someone else. She is one of the most caring girls anyone could ever meet and she's often the one others go in search of if something is troubling them. Fable has a way of calming even the post stressed of people. She always puts others before herself and doesn't even have a hint of selfishness in her.

Here's my own!
***
Name: Micah Nolan
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance:
(view spoiler)
Personality: Micah is very shy and quiet.
He prefers to roam alone, but when accompanied (which is a very rare case indeed) he is very polite and well behaved.
Micah's mind only works one thought: he is a freak, even among his brethren. His ability is dangerous, which is why he stays away from everyone, including his own father and sister.
Micah is very distant, impossible to reach. He shields himself from everyone, pushing them away without meaning to hurt, but to protect others from himself.
And to protect himself from himself.
Species: Mutant
(view spoiler)
History: Micah's mother was captured by the Seekers when he was younger. His father and sister live with him in a hollow in the cave's wall of Atlantic. There, Micah learns, watches, and stays away from everyone except himself.
Micah's younger sister resents him for being so distant. She hates him because she loves him too much and all he does is push her away with silence and no reaction to anyone's words.
Micah's father works day and night. He barely comes home. When he does, it is always for less than an hour. He works on the surface of Atlantic, protecting the way down to the city with his brethren.
Micah wished he could get close enough to someone without harming them just because he wants to feel better than the danger he is. But the way things are going, his poisonous being will never have such an opportunity.
Other:
~Micah enjoys to gather around random objects he finds by the cave and pile them up in his hiding place. He thinks of this as a way to surround himself with company.
~Micah observes the others around him with curiosity, wondering who will be next to try to approach him and be friendly, then drop to the ground in agony.
~Micah avoids coming home. He hides in his tiny cave in the darkness, hoping time would take him away before loneliness consumes him.
~Micah likes dangerous acts, like sneaking off to the surface of Atlantic in the night, through the tunnels, where no one is around. Where the dangers await.["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>

Okay.... My first failed attempt to make a character...
Name: Fawn Winters
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Personality: A bit shy, and cold-hearted. She doesn't trust easily, but opens up when she has to. She is witty and smart, and very observant. She's proud of herself for not trusting anyone, but that's her biggest flaw. She loved to smile and laugh and joke around, but that's in the past. That was before the seekers started, well seeking. She used to be kind, sweet and generous. Now she's sarcastic, shy and thoughtful. She gets scared a lot, but uses sarcasm to cover it. She thinks about things before she does them, but when it comes to talking, she says exactly whats on her mind. She tries not to be a giddy teenager, because she needs to think rather then laugh, but... it's hard to switch from the world's happiest girl, to the most cold.
Appearance: Skin as pale as snow, with bleach blonde ringlets, the only this that separates her from a winter scene is her neon green eyes. She's about 5'4, and she is very petite, and incredibly agile. https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/im...
Species: * very rare species alert * Elementary (Can control winds, water, earth & fire)
Occupation: Survivor/Runaway, I guess.
History: Her life was normal, well, as normal as it could be. Her powers were a secret- she had never told anyone, not even Jace, her best friend since the first day of skool. They lived in a small town, filled with what were supposedly all humans. Fawn's family were the only supernaturals she had ever knew. One day, Jace had seen one siblings, Clara, use her powers. Late that night, Jace killed all four of her family members.She was 14 and a half. She was only spared because he liked her, they did everything together. Trusted each other. She found out he was raised by two seekers, his parents, two very important seekers looking for hiding supernaturals in her little town. Jace is a seeker now, like his parents. Fawn is currently on the run, looking for The Atlantic and missing her old best friend.
Other: Was a singer/songwriter/artist in the making, But Jace was the only one who knew or cared. Now,her talents, they are kept secrets, gone from the cruelness of the world.

Okay.... Here goes a pathetic attempt to make a character....Name: Cyan Thornhall
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Appearance: (view spoiler)
Light-blue, turquoise-hued hair; short, frail physique. Underneath her amber-colored eyes lie freckled cheeks.
Personality: Kind and gentle. She is observant and patient. She has a bad habit of putting others before her all of the time. Mentally strong, but physically weak. She might be a bit cold at times, but for good reasons... She doesn't like to talk about them....She can also be a creep sometimes.
Species: Witch. Necromancy comes natural to her, and her ability can sometimes be very annoying. She can conjure up powerful wavelengths of magic, but has no idea how she does it or how to control it. She is slowly learning...Slowly.
Occupation: Runaway
History: Avoided in school, she grew up without any friends. Her "ability" had scared off every last possible candidate for a friend. She only had one, though: a fuzzy, stuffed Coca-Cola polar bear that her father had given her when she was five, but not like the bear could ever talk to her, or make her laugh. Much less keep the scary shadows that crawled along the walls at night away, or make the voices stop. The polar bear, Clive, didn't care how "creepy" or "scary" she was, or about the curse that Cyan was born with. He always had that funny-looking smile on this face. Her parents had conjured up the idea that she was a necromancer when she was eight.
Other:
☆Her weapon is a lightweight, titanium mace. She quite enjoys swinging it around.
☆She still carries Clive around.
☆Underestimating her would be unwise. Even if she still caries around a teddy bear at the age of fifteen, she's no pushover....
☆She gets grossed out by dumb things. Also, she likes to be alone most of the time.
☆When fury and hatred posses her, she loses a grip on reality...

Name: Jack Sixx
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: http://www.google.com/imgres?q=cute+b...
(I'm not sure if it goes straight to the weird page -.- but there is supposed to be a single picture of a boy, if it doesn't work please tell me so I can fix it -^^-)
Personality: Jack isn't the type to keep quiet when something is threatening his life or in practically any situation to be exact. He is an outspoken person who knows when to keep his mouth shut and when to speak the truth or decietfully lie. He can become a little arrogant and gain too much confidence if someone allows him to be. If he has a common goal he reaches and strives to obtain it and won't stop until it's complete. On the weak side he has too much confidence in his abilites and can get overly dramatic about things, either over estimating or under estimating someone's ability ultimately dooming himself.
Species: Mutant
(view spoiler)
Occupation: Runaway
History: Jack never had a normal childhood. A rather painful and tedious one to be exact. From birth his mother and father gave him away to the Doctors who were asking for several children as 'project'. He never knew why his parents abandoned him as a child. He had always left as a grudge to his parents who now live somewhere else. The Doctors used him for experiments and stitched him wings in his back and tested him with experiments until now. Jack escaped and the Doctors are still searching for him, he still intends to never lean into their grasp again.
