Her waist length hair is often pulled back in a braid or updo, leaving the short strands of the front to frame her face in romantic wisps. She has a tender sweetness to her looks that draws attention to her without her even thinking about it. She prefers natural colors, greens and other earth tones looking beautiful with her coloring.&nbsp; The only thing she always has on is a simple necklace, made of gold and pearls with a topaz within a shell glittering on the end of it, which is usually hidden within her bodice.<br><strong>Personality </strong>: Sweet and happy, perhaps too happy. But with a lack of memories the girl is at ease and easy to please. Along with eager to please. She honestly just wants to help other people, and puts a lot of energy into it. At times she can seem high energy, and at others she wearies easily. There is a quick intelligence in her eyes, a lively wit but a very innocent mind; she sometimes does not catch onto things that others know. Like how people can be evil, without remorse. <br><strong>Special Talents/Magical Powers</strong> : Her singing can distract and lead people into things that she wants them to do. It also can sometimes play with emotions, sooth and put to sleep.Oria is very graceful and moves and dances with all the elegance of the waves, her laughter is infectious and she seems to draw those she might need to her.<br><strong>History </strong>: She was born the seventh daughter of one of the many sea kings. As the youngest she was perhaps the most sheltered, though her mother shared with her stories of the world above. And the tales caught her young imagination. Her father was of the long line of Sea royalty, thus he did not have tails as some of his people did, for in the sea there are several races. It is a little known fact that the nobility and royalty of the Sea Folk are not in fact merpeople. There are also Siren's, Oriana's mother was half mermaid and half Siren. But she was her mother's daughter and at the age of seventeen she realized no men beneath the sea interested her. At the age of nineteen she had been going to the surface regularly, her Siren's blood allowing her to breath air as easily as water and the magic surrounding her as the seventh daughter let her be clothed in the way of the dry land she ventured to. But on her nineteenth birthday the Tradition struck and she fell in love with a Prince who was sea voyaging. And so she bartered with a Sea Witch to be able to walk on land. Only the spell went awry and instead of her voice she lost her memories. Thanks to the dragons blood she drank going up she can speak in any language, and speak to the beasts, but without her memories she wanders, drawn by something but not sure what it is. <br></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>

				<div style="text-align: left;">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v347/Nagisawa/RPG%20character%20shots/jackman-1.jpg)<br></div><br><strong>Name </strong>: Sir Jack The Giant-Killer, (Jack Tailor)<br><br><strong>Age </strong>: 24<br><br><strong>Gender </strong>: Male<br><br><strong>Race</strong>: Human<br><br><strong>Fairytale </strong>:&nbsp; The Brave Little Tailor (Then Jack and Beanstalk, then Jack The Giant-Killer.)<br><br><strong>Occupation </strong>: Orignally a Tailor, but became a warrior, a knight before being a simple wandering mercenary.<br><br><strong>Appearance </strong>:&nbsp; Jack isn't as tall as one would expect, given all the tales of his exploits.&nbsp; At 5' 8" he isn't as tall as he should be, however, his figure is rock solid and very well defined by years of wandering and battle.&nbsp; Dark of hair and eye, he'd be a handsome fellow with an average look, if it weren't for the scar over his left eye.&nbsp; Nothing too horrific, but it does show a hint of his violent life.<br><br><strong>Special Talents/Magical Powers</strong> : An expert tailor and excellent swordsman, no innate magic talent, but very clever and sharp.&nbsp; Has a magic two handed sword, "Dragon Slayer", which is very effective against larger than man sized creatures, but is as a normal sword against men and things smaller.<br><br><strong>History </strong>:&nbsp; Sometimes, life doesn't go the way you plan it.&nbsp; For some people this is an expression, for Jack Tailor, he's pretty sure someone tattooed it on his butt when he wasn't looking.<br><br>He was a simple shoe and dress maker in the beginning.&nbsp; A simple man, a boy really, with what he believed to be a simple destiny, a simple life.&nbsp; But like all things, the smallest of them can grow to be enormous.&nbsp; In his case it started with the simple slaying of seven flies in one fell swoop.&nbsp; Unfortunately for him, his timing was poor.&nbsp; His exclamation was overheard by the King's Guard, who took him in front of the King and he ask if it was true.&nbsp; Jack acknowledged this, but wasn't sure what the fuss was about.&nbsp; After all, they were only insects.&nbsp; Then it was explained to him that a giant had been rampaging through the country side.&nbsp; But before he could do anything to correct what had to be the Kingdom's greatest misinterpretation, he was armed, armoured and thrown to the giant's mercy.<br><br>What happened next was the stuff of legends.&nbsp; His legend.<br><br>First, he tracked down and tricked the enormous man, followed him to his home in the clouds, after being sold some magic beans by an old man seeking revenge on this very giant for the theft of his wealth and privelige.&nbsp; That first deed done, he was sent to deal with a pair of Giant brothers who collected young women from the countryside and fed on them.&nbsp; An unknown talent with a sword was revealed during that titanic battle.&nbsp; Beaten, bruised but not broken, he returned the victor, and this time the King offered his daughter to Jack as wife, to which he accepted, including the accolades.<br><br>However, all good things must come to an end, and it was revealed that he never did kill seven men in one blow, his wife had overheard him in his sleep.&nbsp; And because his entire foundation was built upon a lie, he was tossed out of the kingdom, branded a liar and traitor.&nbsp; No one bothered to realize that while in the beginning he had been a simple tailor, a worker of cloth, he had become one of the nation's best warriors, able to meet any challenge and best it, by sheer willpower and new found skill and experience.&nbsp; And all because of a misunderstanding at the age of 16: 'Seven with ONE blow!'<br><br><strong>Personality </strong>: Heart of gold, acts all tough and mean, but at the end of the day he'll help because it's the right thing to do.&nbsp; Even if he grumbles the entire time for it.&nbsp; Sadly, Jack is a hero.&nbsp; A man of honour and justice, although he's under the impression he gets little of it himself.&nbsp; His early life was normal, with a mother, younger brother and father, all of which are craftsmen and are still alive.&nbsp; As a child he grew up hearing tales of heroism and of knights, of champions and of damsels in distress.<br><br>All things he never outgrew, but never really believing he'd ever be a part of.&nbsp; Instead his mouth manages to get him into their ranks, and he still has his title of Knight despite his exile, but he found to his dismay that the Nobility were no better than the peasents they lorded over.&nbsp; This was a huge blow to his dreams, and to be truthful his protests before being sent out on his first 'Quest' were minimal, as deep down he wanted to show these fools that he was a better hero than they were.<br><br>He was, and he paid for it.&nbsp; Every heroic deed he did, did not inspire as he had hoped, instead got HIM sent out to do their dirty work.&nbsp; By the end of it, he was almost glad to be exiled as his disgust with his own kingdom was almost overwhelming.&nbsp; His wife didn't help much either being a bright but scheming girl determined to make her and her own 'better' in the court standing, despite having it all as the Royal Princess.<br><br>In the end, Jack is somewhat of bitter cynic, often at conflict with his hopes and wishes, but if he doesn't do the 'right thing', who will?

She is lighthearted, always flitting from one idea to the next, dreaming dreams far too big to be possible or practical.<br><strong>Special Talents/Magical Powers :</strong> Flight, though one might not consider it a special talent if they knew how difficult it was for her to remain on the ground.

Her slender figure, shaped around the hips and breast made her look like an unnatural nymph-like creature. Her small quiet steps were soundless and almost like floating in the air. Whitney had an eerie beauty and her pale skin adorned by her coal black hair made her a walking mystery. yet the sad glint in her eyes is unmissable and her distracting smile makes you question what burden is she carrying.<br><strong>Personality :</strong> sweet , innocent and caring , very naive and trusting. caring for the young dwarfs made her competitive and a little boyish. sometimes her short temper gets the best of her personaity but that doesn't happen a lot.<br><strong>Special Talents/Magical Powers :</strong> Whitney has the ability to call up animals of any kind with her soothing songs<br><strong>History :</strong> Whitney last view of her father was as a decayed and lifeless king and after his death her stepmother took complete charge of his Kingdome. As Whitney grow older the queen becomes more jealous of her extremely beautiful features, and orders a huntsman to take Whitney into the woods to be killed. She demands that the huntsman return with Whitney heart as proof of her killing. The huntsman takes Whitney into the forest, but after raising his knife to stab her, he finds himself unable to kill her. Instead, he lets her go, telling her to flee and hide, and brings the queen the heart of a young deer, which is then prepared by the cook and eaten by the queen. In the forest, Whitney discovers a tiny cottage belonging to seven dwarfs, where she rests. There, the dwarfs take pity on her, saying, "If you will keep house for us, and cook, make beds, wash, sew, and knit, and keep everything clean and orderly, then you can stay with us, and you shall have everything that you want." They warn her to take care and let no one in when they are away delving in the mountains. Meanwhile, the Queen asks her mirror once again "Who's the fairest of them all?", and is horrified to learn that Whitney is not only alive and well and living with the dwarfs, but is still the fairest of them all.<br><br><br><br>The Queen disguises herself and visits the dwarfs' cottage while they are away during the day, trying to kill Whitney. First, disguised as a peddler, the Queen offers colorful stay-laces and laces Whitney up so tight that she faints, causing the Queen to leave her for dead. The dwarfs, however, revive Whitney when they loosen the laces. Next, the Queen dresses as a different old woman and brushes Snow White's hair with a poisoned comb Whitney again collapses, but again is saved by the dwarfs. Finally, the Queen makes a cursed apple, and in the disguise of a farmer's wife, offers it to Whitney When she is hesitant to accept it, the Queen cuts the apple in half, eats the white part and gives the cursed red part to Snow White. She eats the apple eagerly and immediately falls into a deep stupor. When the dwarfs find her, they cannot revive her, and they place her in a glass coffin, assuming that she is dead. However, she was not dead, well partially. Every morning the dwarfs woke up and found the house neatly cleaned a breakfast ready for them. until one day , they decided to stay up in the middle of the night and saw a pale figure wandering thought the house and worked hard after feeding on animals she carefully called on&nbsp; before the first rays of the&nbsp; of the happily made&nbsp; there way through the windows Whitney quietly returned back to her glass coffin.<br><br>They search for many days with the help of an experience wizard to only found the cure for her curse; was a bloody love sacrifice.<br><br></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>

				<strong>Name </strong>: Prince Edward Charming<br><br><strong>Age </strong>: 32<br><br><strong>Gender </strong>: Male<br><br><strong>Race</strong>: Human<br><br><strong>Fairytale </strong>: Sleeping Beauty<br><br><strong>Occupation </strong>: Ex-champion, hermit<br><br><strong>Appearance </strong>: Fairly tall for a human, standing about 6'2", he has few clothes, virtually all of them faded and ragged from his solitary life in the wilderness.&nbsp; Usually seen wearing a dirty, water-stained shirt and brown trousers with frayed legs, he wanders around the forest in sandals that look like they could fall apart at any moment.&nbsp; His eyes are a dark green, appropriate for his wooded home, but there is a depth of feeling there that his actions and words deny.&nbsp; Living alone and subsisting on fish and game and vegetation has given him a lean, fairly muscular frame.&nbsp; He does carry a sword, using it mainly as a tool for clearing vegetation.<br><br><strong>Personality </strong>: Prince is an extremely irritable man, world-weary, and could even be described as crotchety.&nbsp; He prefers to be alone, having been caught up in far too many adventures in his life due to his given name, which he considers to be a horrible curse.&nbsp; He avoids mentioning his past whenever possible, even snapping at those who don't want to drop it.&nbsp; Still, he always helps those who stumble onto his home in the forest, knowing full well the Tradition will make him pay otherwise.<br><br><strong>Special Talents/Magical Powers</strong> : Prince cannot cast magic, nor does he have any special abilities.&nbsp; The one thing he has going for (or against) him is his name, which his Tradition-savvy parents gave to him at his birth in hopes of making him fabulously wealthy and successful.&nbsp; His actual given first name is Prince, leaving him able to fulfill all sorts of Traditional paths with no actual royal lineage, whether he likes it or not.<br><br><strong>History </strong>: Prince's parents were in no way royalty, nor were they wealthy.&nbsp; They were merchants in a fairly prosperous port city, with enough money and status to be educated, but nothing more.&nbsp; Through either family tradition, or some other stroke of luck, or perhaps the Tradition itself, they were aware of it and what it could do.&nbsp; So, with no regard for consequences, they named their first and only child Prince, in the hopes that he could marry some rich young princess and achieve a happily-ever-after.&nbsp; Of course, they knew their son would never leave them in the cold, and be ever so grateful for helping to ensure his success in life!<br><br>Unfortunately, his childhood was very bumpy, full of ups and downs as he struggled to keep his life in his own hands.&nbsp; Prince gradually became known fairly widely, his misadventures and disasters, comedies and tragedies, all earning him laughing recognition everywhere he went.&nbsp; One day a messenger came to him, a royal messenger, and petitioned his parents for Prince's help.&nbsp; There was a princess, in a nearby kingdom, who had been cursed and needed the kiss of a prince.&nbsp; The messenger wouldn't say what the curse was, but Prince's parents had heard all they needed to hear.&nbsp; A princess!&nbsp; It was all happening as they had expected.&nbsp; They shooed him off quickly, and celebrated, knowing that their son would return as a real, titled prince.<br><br>Now, the princess was indeed cursed.&nbsp; She had been granted a dizzying number of blessings at her birth by several fairy godmothers, who had long ago promised such favor to the kingdom in exchange for saving them.&nbsp; Every time, though, the Tradition mandated that the child in question be given one bad gift, a curse.&nbsp; Normally this was sidestepped by cursing them with something absurd, or even harmlessly comical, such as never being able to see a bear without sneezing, or something similar.&nbsp; This time, however, the young princess Aurora was not so lucky.&nbsp; A young fairy godmother, still in training, bumbled and cursed her, that if she ever saw herself in the mirror she would never sleep again.&nbsp; The other godmothers, horrified, stepped in and managed to give her an out, the only one possible: the kiss of a prince.&nbsp; She would indeed never sleep, but one day, perhaps, she could be saved from her fate.<br><br>She did, of course, finally catch a glimpse of her reflection, and she did, of course, stop sleeping.&nbsp; Sadly for her there were no princes around for many, many miles, and so her condition was irreversible.&nbsp; Slowly she began to lose her mind, and the king and queen were forced to lock her in the tower to contain her raving madness.&nbsp; They tried many times to get rid of her, but the Tradition had other ideas, and every single time she would end up back at the castle by some ridiculous series of events.&nbsp; They grew desperate, until they finally heard of a young merchant boy named Prince.&nbsp; They sent for him immediately.<br><br>Prince arrived with high hopes, thinking just as his parents had.&nbsp; He would kiss the princess, break the curse, and live happily ever after.&nbsp; Unfortunately, kisses do not cure mental instability.&nbsp; No amount of sleep was going to solve this.&nbsp; He quickly realized that Aurora's parents only wanted her gone, and making her his problem was their real plan.&nbsp; Upon coming face to face with the unhinged young woman, as she babbled incoherently and seemed to stare straight through him, he broke and ran out of the castle and into the nearby woods.&nbsp; He stayed there for some time before being found by a traveler, a Champion on a quest.<br><br>Still being hunted by the royal family, Prince begged the Champion to take him along, and finally the Champion agreed, thinking that a makeshift prince would be a handy thing to have around.&nbsp; Prince went with him everywhere after that, until finally becoming a Champion himself, and a very good one at that.&nbsp; He succeeded in quest after quest after quest, until finally he found himself back in Aurora's kingdom on assignment.&nbsp; An evil dragon had attacked the castle, and Prince had been sent to dispatch it before it flamed all the farmers.&nbsp; As soon as he rode out to face the giant serpent, though, he realized his misfortune.&nbsp; He had long ago canceled out his Traditional role within these borders when he ran out on marrying the princess, and he would never be able to kill the dragon, or probably even survive.&nbsp; Leaving his horse as a sort of offering and distraction, Prince dismounted and ran off into the forest, just as he had many years ago.&nbsp; He lives there still, cursing his own name and hating the Tradition.

				<table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><div style="text-align: left;">(http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp146/natasha_nikoli/fairy6-1.jpg)</div></td><td>&nbsp; </td><td><strong>Name </strong>: Alura<br><strong>Age </strong>: Unknown<br><strong>Gender </strong>: Female<br><strong>Race </strong>: Fairy<br><strong>Fairytale </strong>: The Swan Princess, slightly edited<br><strong>Occupation </strong>: FairyPrincess turned Fairy Godmother<br><strong>Appearance </strong>: As a true fairy, she has three forms. An appearance as a wisp (http://i41.tinypic.com/210arzm.png), a ball of blue-green light that ranges in size. It may or may not be visible depending on her needs and wants at the time. Her second is her most common form, a humanized fae <span style="font-size: 0.7em;" class="bbc_size">(See associated image)</span>. Her final form, which is least often taken, is entirely human (http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp146/natasha_nikoli/fairy5.jpg) <span style="font-size: 0.7em;" class="bbc_size">(Her face would be the same as her fairy face).</span> It is usually used in sensitive situations where her true form as a fae cannot be known. Built small, but strong, Alura stands a mere 5' in her humanized and human forms. Her slender figure hides her strength well, and she is not so easily tossed around as one might think. Her brown hair is often worn down, gentle and inviting curls when she takes a human form, straight and framing as a fae. Preferring dresses that flow and allow her to move freely, she is rarely found in modern clothing unless required; usually accompanying her less-preferred human form.<br><strong>Personality</strong>: Very warm and welcoming. Alura always has a bit of good advice to give. If there is something that you're needed, emotionally or physically, she probably has it, or will find it for you. Very inviting and open to everyone and any problems that they might come with. Under the outward appearance of the wise Fairy Godmother lies a sweet heart, always loving and willing to give. Perhaps too easily accepting of people, though her abilities help her to pick out the good in people and pinpoint the evil.<br><strong>Special Talents/Magical Powers</strong>: Flight.

				<strong>The Chris Addendum to The Beast</strong>:<br><br><strong>Personality</strong>:&nbsp; The Prince has a level of pride and anger to his situation.&nbsp; He doesn't understand why everyone left, even with his 'twin' roaming around.&nbsp; The reason is that to his servants, the jump from man to monster wasn't all that hard to see in him.&nbsp; He's cold, unforgiving, angry and has no respect for relationships.&nbsp; Namely because his own life hasn't been exactly kind.<br><br>He was the first in a line of four children, his parents having died in a hunting accident when he was 10, leaving him with three young girls to raise on his own.&nbsp; And sadly, those earnest and honest efforts went wrong.&nbsp; Headstrong girls all of them, and sadly the unforgiving nature of the world made them pay for it.&nbsp; The first was lost to bandits, her curiousity getting her savaged and tossed dead.&nbsp; The Twins were taken seperately by a stranger who turned them on each other and when one killed the other in jealousy, the 'man' stole her life, draining her of blood and leaving her in front of the castle as a message.<br><br>The Prince carries a lot of guilt over what he considered a failure in his duties as the eldest brother.&nbsp; It's not something he'll mention to anyone, ever, but it's the reason he doesn't believe in true love or relationships.&nbsp; Also, having showed how little control he had over his sibling's lives, when he tried vainly to do what he believed was right, he now demands total control over everything he does.
