<div style="text-align: center">EPIDEMIC​</div><br/>Maria was a peaceful planet with beautiful forests, great oceans, and kind people.  The people of Maria are a religious people and when each person reaches the age of 13, when they hit puberty they are given a weapon with a blade.  They are then taught how to use this weapon so that they may defend themselves and their family.  Then twenty years ago in the country of Axisim some strange people came to the planet.  They called themselves Lasharans.  They were pale, greatly disliked sunlight, had an allergy to silver, and had striking lavender eyes.   They were a beautiful people, but they did not eat food as the Marians did, instead they drank blood.  When there great secret was revealed people became afraid.  Many people tried to kill them, but nothing worked, except for fire, and literally taking off their heads.<br/><br/>The group that had been made of twenty people was reduced to only 6 no, three women and three men.  It was at this time that their biggest secret was revealed.  They had the ability to turn Marians into their kind by draining them to a point close to death and then feeding them their blood, but this was not the only way.  They carried some sort of contagious virus that eventually produced the same effect as turning.  If their bodily fluids, such as spit, blood, etc., made it into your body or stayed on your body without being purged by fire, then your body would begin to change.  You would become like the infected, and would be fully turned within a week.<br/><br/>It was first believed that the Lasharan women could not reproduce until Asher Moningdale, one of the six members of the Lasharan Council, gave birth to the first half breed, part Lasharan and part Marian, commonly called a Larian, to live on Maria.  The Lasharians realized that the Larians had a hidden strength that made them as strong two grown Lasharans by the time they had reached their prime.  Larians aged quickly and had reached their prime by the age of ten, having the appearance of a 23 year old, and knowledge well beyond their years.  Larians have one lavender eye and one other color eye.<br/><br/>This epidemic took Maria by storm, and now the Marians are an endangered species.  There are only 50,000 Marians left, and the majority of that is children.  There have been Marian doctors that have managed to avoid the infection and are searching for a cure.  They came across a discovery that children seem to be immune to catching the disease.  This also holds true for anyone that was fed off of by an infected person when they were a child.  They are only able to be turned by being drained and then force fed some of an infected person’s blood.  Emi Ganstein is one of these doctors.<br/><br/>Her brother Darron Ganstein is a researcher on the disease.  He learned that when an infected person is turned a cross is made and their name is written on the cross in their blood.  If the cross is burned with their weapon having been stuck in the left side of the cross, or the honor side, by the infected person then even if they have been killed by the Lasharan council, made up of the six original Lasharans, or some refugee hunting down the infected, then they will turn back to a Marian and be given a second chance at life.  If their weapon is in the right side, or has not been placed in the cross at all then they will die a horrible death.<br/><br/>Asher's daughter, Anna Blaire, began to realize how poorly her fellow Larians, and the Marians were treated by the Lasharans, unless they were the children of members of the Lasharan council or some high-ranking turned Larsharan at the age of 16.  She left it alone though until her mother killed her human lover and she learned that she was a Larian.  She had been left her whole life to believe that she was simply a Lasharan with a birth defect.  She became enraged and entered into a fight with her mother, in which she ended up punching her mother through a solid brick wall of the castle, where many high-ranking Lasharans including the Lasharan council, lived.<br/><br/>She had been the leader of the Lasharan's squad of trained assassins.  She had perfect precision with a throwing knife, and was very good and getting around people without being detected.  She left her own high-ranking position in order to defect from the Lasharans, bringing over 1,000 Larians with her, in order to start a group of Larians that sided with the Marians and strived for peace and equality between all people.  She later found out that not only was she a Larian, but her father was the father of Emi and Darron Ganstein, who had become thorn in her mother's side.  She found her family and sided with them, helping them to achieve peace, and safety for all the people.  She uses her knowledge of the Lasharan's to find their keeping grounds, or the place where they keep their Crosses of Eternity and help her siblings destroy the crosses and save the people.<br/><br/>Darron, Emi, and Anna Blaire, along with a group of refugees are now traveling the planet and burning all the crosses they can find in an attempt to purge the world of this horrible disease.  Let us pray, for their sake, that they can accomplish their goal before it is too late.<br/><br/><hr class="bbc-hr bbc-hr--3"/><br/><div style="text-align: center">PROFILE LAYOUT​</div><br/><b><u>Name</u>~</b><br/><b><u>Age</u>~</b><br/><b><u>Gender</u>~</b><br/><b><u>Race</u>~</b>[Infected/Lasharan, Halfbreed/Larian or Refugee/Marian]<br/><b><u>Alliance</u>~</b><br/><b><u>Weapon</u>~</b>[must have some sort of blade on it.
