My Character Profiles


More will come when I get around to writing them.



Name: Zathract Mist (mostly referred to as Mist)
Age: 15 years
Magic: Elemental + Necromancy
Advanced Elements: More control over flame
Adept Power: [N/A]
Gender: Male

Personality: Zathract is relatively cheerful, though is very determined when it comes to a case. He despises people who are classified as "evil" and classifies himself as one of "the good guys", as well he should. Zathract will tell an occasional joke but mostly sticks to whatever topic he and whoever else is discussing.

Appearance: Zathract has long black hair that covers the back of his head and falls over his ears, blocking them from view. His eyes are emerald green and will stare into your soul, should he deem it necessary. His clothes consist of a black jacket, black pants and a black shirt, all made by Kassd None who is one of the best tailors in Australia, his qualities rivalling Ghastly Bespoke's in Ireland.
He wears expensive sunglasses he likes to call shades and his boots are also made by Kassd.
Zathract's gloves channel his Necromancy Magic.

History: When the seven year old Zathract had accidentally stumbled across the Australian Sanctuary, he took an interest to the hidden world at once and devoted himself to magic. Reluctantly, an Elemental mage named Masoling-Grid Ragikk took him under his wing and started teaching him how to use his magic abilities after it was discovered that he had quite a lot bottled up inside him. Zathract, Jake Frox back then, went through many processes including having to choose a name. He eventually chose the name “Zathract Mist” for reasons he will not reveal. Ragikk started calling Zathract “Zath” to annoy him and Zathract begun calling Masoling-Grid “Maso” in turn. They both cared for one another and saved each other’s lives many times. Each seemed destined to be partner in detective work, yet also to drive one another up the wall as often as possible.
Zathract soon became employed by the Elders of Australia and he joined Ragikk in solving crimes and fighting various notorious villains. Unfortunately for Zathract, Masoling-Grid was killed while they battled Vathrasi, a warrior who had sided with Mevolent in the War. Vathrasi had decided to go against the Sanctuary who had done a deal with him and had taken up his old ways, moving against the Sanctuary.
Fortunately, Zathract and Ragikk alerted the Elders before his Hollow Men breached the entrance and they were able to barricade the Sanctuary and reinforce its defences. It was a fierce battle when Vathrasi himself blew down the defences blocking the entrance and somehow, Masoling-Gird ended up battling Vathrasi alone. Zathract, only being ten at the time, was thoroughly confused and had his hands full with Hollow Men himself. He tried to help his partner, but it was too late. Vathrasi had struck and Masoling-Grid Ragikk fell.
A month later the Sanctuary had been rebuilt and Vathrasi had vanished. No one knew whether or not he had been killed in the confusion, but Zathract knew he was still out there, weak and binding his time, waiting to strike again.
Zathract swore to himself to take down Vathrasi for killing his friend and mentor, but he hasn’t seen Vathrasi since that day. Instead, he continued his detective work for the Sanctuary, alone now, but just as effective as he was with Ragikk. He soon heard that Nefarian Serpine had done a similar thing against the Ireland Sanctuary a few years back. In-between solving cases and bringing down more villains, Zathract attempted to track down Vathrasi, but he hasn’t had much luck so far.
And then he had met Vai Melt, a women trained in Necromancy, while ending up in a temple in Australia when working on a case. He had heard about Necromancy before, but never had a desire to learn anything about it. Vai wasn’t like other Necromancers though. She seemed quite normal actually. She saw that he had Necromancer powers in him as well as Elemental, something that surprised Zathract quite a bit considering that he seemed quite talented in that area of magic already. Vai Melt taught him some basic Necromancy and he quickly excelled in the subject, choosing to channel the power through his gloves, something he would always keep on. The only problem with them now was they kept his hands thoroughly cold due to the death magic running through them. Though Vai could never replace Ragikk, she was still a comfort to him none the less.
Zathract Mist continues to work for the Australian Sanctuary and works as a detective still.
During And Post Zathract Mist [Story]***:
When the Elder Council of Australia demanded that Zathract get himself a partner for his detective work at the age of thirteen, Zathract suddenly found himself with a mortal girl named Lily Spire refusing to leave him alone after he saved her from a horde of zombies. With a stubborn refusal to listen to him and walk away from the magic she had already seen, Zathract soon saw that she was not going to leave him alone, and agreed to show her the secret magical sub-culture as Masoling-Grid Ragikk had done to him.
After she was captured by Vathrasi, Zathract, Slayn Redeem (best friend and sparring partner), Kassd None and Crex Teress (another ally he had picked up in his time) set out to rescue her. They tracked Vathrasi down and while Slayn, Crex and Kassd busied themselves with Vampires and Hollow Men, Zathract freed Lily from the chains that had her bound and was taken aback when she kissed him.
Having successfully encountered Vathrasi, zombies, vampires and Hollow Men, by this point Lily was now never going to turn away from the magic world and Zathract eventually agreed to take her as his partner. She got her protective clothing from Kassd and, after being taught martial arts by Slayn, it was revealed that Lily, under training from Zathract, found that she had a considerable amount of magic she was able to use.
Quickly deciding to learn Elemental magic, Lily persisted and Zathract found himself teaching Lily at more frequent intervals, her skill growing all the time.

Vathrasi sent Jack Rank (free-lance terrorist and part time hit man) to try and kill Zathract again, this time by blowing up his house along with his mother and father. Zathract caught sight of Jack before he was able to compete his task and quickly stopped him and, this time, managed to arrest him. Outraged, Vathrasi then moved out into the open himself for the first time in several years.
Zathract, Lily (now under her taken name of Haze Ikkoku), Kassd, Crex, Slayn and a dozen Cleavers battled Vathrasi and his army of Hollow Men. Once again Zathract allowed himself to get caught up in the battle too much and Haze was killed in the fight. He lost himself to rage and even after he had murdered Vathrasi and every other one of his men that day, Zathract’s rage continued to consume him, finally being allowed to take control and fuel him.
From then on Zathract Mist vanished. No one heard of him for 3 months and during that time many unsolved murders happened, though no one knew it had been Zathract who was doing it. And then he came to his senses. Mist attempted to expel his anger from him and become what he felt was whole again, but his darker side had already consumed an independent personality by this point. So when the rage was expelled from Zathract’s body, it drifted apart and took a form. This was Nagier Ryn, Zathract Mist’s evil half.
Disgusted at what had happened, Zathract and Nagier battled. Nagier, still disorientated form his recent taking of form, was defeated and killed. Though, because he was still a part of Zathract, the rage simply took form again a month later, still Nagier, but now powerful, controlled and dead. In later months, it was revealed that Zathract’s True Name was actually “Nagier”. Learning this piece of information, Zathract quickly sealed his True Name as Nagier seized the power.
Again and again, Zathract and Nagier have crossed paths, battled and then vanished for a few days. Each time, Zathract walked away bloody, broken and barely living. To this day, Nagier Ryn is a free-lancing murderer with his prime goal of killing Zathract.
Zathract’s occupation is still detective work with the Australian Sanctuary, now a very high-ranked official in its status.

----------


Name: Jack Rank
Age: 17 years
Magic: Adept
Adept Power: He shoots ROCKS from his HANDS that go BOOM!
Gender: Male

Personality: Jack Rank is, to be blunt, an idiot. He is a psychopath, merciless, greedy, power hungry, insolent, annoying, and extremely intelligent idiot. If that makes sense. He is actually rather intelligent, actually. Jack has common sense, he is tactical and strong-willed, but he knows absolutely nothing about law (which he likes to refer to as “The Rules”). He knows nothing of the difference between legal and illegal and, though it makes no difference, kills without knowing it “isn’t allowed”.

Appearance: Jack his messy hair that is a dirty kind of blonde. He wears jeans that are so worn and old, they move easily and are extremely comfortable, and though they have never once been washed in the three years he has been wearing them, Jack doesn’t care. His torso consists of a white shirt that is stained with dirt and dried mud which has also never been washed in three years. The only thing new that Jack wears is his boots which he polishes every night (for some reason) and attempts to take good care of.
Jack’s skin was once a very pale texture but due to spending so much time out an’ about an’ killin’, he now has a tanned colour skin that is slightly darker than his hair.
In the cold, Jack wears a worn out black jacket that only just fits him.

History: Jack Rank was born into a family of magic and was taught it by his mother who also kept his father in check. When he was five, Jack’s mother died and his father, now no longer under the influence of his wife, became abusive and adopted his true nature. Jack was beaten and was tortured, some might call it, into a mild form of temporary insanity. Evantually, Jack mastered his Adept ability and killed his father, the corpse of which he then laughed at for hours on end before setting out and making himself known by killing people and engraving his name into the road/dirt/house/rock it was done on.
Jack soon became known all over Australia and soon begun engraving messages next to his name too, telling others that he was willing to kill for them for payment. Several villains employed him and paid handsomely before either being killed by him or arrested by the Sanctuary.
Soon, Jack was approached by Vathrasi, weak but willing to pay him to kill certain people. He agreed and set out, his first target being Kassd None. He failed to kill the tailor and also Slayn Redeem, his next target. Zathract Mist also stopped Jack from killing him, his parents and blowing up his house.
Vathrasi did not have time to punish him, however. Zathract arrested Jack soon after this and he was carted off to the Sanctuary. Not too long after, though, Vathrasi moved against the Sanctuary for a second time and his cell was damaged in the battle. Jack seized his opportunity and escaped in the confusion, collected his money from Vathrasi’s hideout and vanished off the grid. To this day, no one knows where he is, especially as the murders he has been committing have now been appearing all over Australia in the space of a few days each.

Name: Nagier Ryn
Age: 15 years [Almost 16]
Magic: Adept
Adept Power: Necromancy
Gender: Male

Personality: Nagier is a merciless, cold-blooded killer. He knows nothing of nicety and probably nothing of affection either. He is strategic, powerful and extremely arrogant, though also equally intelligent. He acts pretentious but the power he often boasts about is not an over-exaggeration. Nagier constantly changes between speaking like a powerful and professional overlord to casual speech making him seem even more unbalanced than he really is.
Nagier is not angered easily but will really explode if pushed into a rage (being the rage incarnate).

Appearance: Nagier Ryn looks basically identical to Zathract Mist, partially because he is the incarnation of Zathract’s rage, with a slight increase in height and skin so pale he could be dead. He technically is, of course, but that’s beside the point. Nagier’s hair is long and black and falls over his ears, covering them. His eyes, entirely different from Mist’s, are a deep, sometimes glowing (which he takes great pride in), glowing red. His expression is eternally cold, the only change being intensified to a burning glare.
His clothes are nothing but black. Everything black, jacket, top, pants, boots and gloves. Not even he knows whether or not he wears socks.
Nagier’s gloves channel his necromancy abilities.

History [SPOILER ALERT***]: Zathract Mist had a dark side. He always had, though, like most people, his dark side was a part of him and simply got the better of him at times. However, when the Grand Mage of the Australian Sanctuary demanded he take a partner in his detective work and found Lily Spire, everything begun to fall apart. Zathract started to become controlled by his emotions and feelings for Lily and hatred of Vathrasi. When he, Kassd None, Crex Terres and Lily (now with her taken name of Haze Ikkoku) track down Vathrasi and engage in battle, Lily is killed in the fight and Zathract was lost to rage.
In his anger, Vathrasi was killed and rather easily, but from then on Zathract Mist vanished. No one heard of him for 3 months and during that time many unsolved murders happened, though no one knew it had been Zathract who was doing it. And then he came to his senses. Mist attempted to expel his anger from him and become what he felt was whole again, but his darker side had already consumed an independent personality by this point. So when the rage was expelled from Zathract’s body, it drifted apart and took a form. This was Nagier Ryn, Zathract Mist’s evil half.
Disgusted at what had happened, Zathract and Nagier battled. Nagier, still disorientated form his recent taking of form, was defeated and killed. Though, because he was still a part of Zathract, the rage simply took form again a month later, still Nagier, but now powerful, controlled and dead. Dead. He could walk and talk and kill, but he was dead and had been ever since Zathract had killed him a month previously. As a result of this, Nagier feels no pain, as he is eternally and completely numb now.
In later months, it was revealed that Nagier’s name was Zathract’s True Name. Learning this piece of information, Nagier quickly seized the power and suddenly became immensely stronger.
To this day, Nagier Ryn is a freelancing murderer with the skills and abilities of Zathract Mist which, unfortunately, gives him the means in which to avoid capture far too easily.
