Name: Ari Lyall
Age: 24 (December 14th)
Gender: Female
Occupation: Dog trainer and behaviourist
Appearance: Ari is of slight stature at 5'2", her dark brown hair a mess of waves cut just past ear-length. She is pale, contrasting with her dark brown eyes. She has a slightly upturned nose, round face and slender neck. She wears a hodgepodge of bright colours, often clashing and baggy, like a six-year old who hasn't yet been taught how to dress. Her general appearance is disheveled, and she tends to have the general musk of dog on her most days.
Strengths: Ari is very high-energy and enthusiastic when it comes to things she loves. She can be focused and dedicated on a task for a very long amount of time if she looks forward to the outcome. She is also very organized and has the ability to notice changes and patterns easily. Ari has a strong connection with animals, specifically dogs, and has the ability to train and understand them effectively. She is quite intelligent, when applying herself. Ari is also very honest and fair, both praising and critiquing herself and others' work. Yet to be shown to herself and others is her ability to "switch off" in high pressure situations, allowing herself to get a task done without emotional choke-up.
Weaknesses: Ari is socially awkward in the sense that she doesn't understand sarcasm and many non-verbal cues well, and finds it difficult to bond with others. She enjoys structure and routine, and changes often send her into a tailspin. She speaks very little to people she doesn't know, to the point of seeming cold or unwelcoming, and rarely opens up to her true feelings, even to people she knows well. She has a passive personality, leading to a tendency to be walked over easily. She lacks passion and attention in things she cares little about.
History: Ari was an only child born and raised in Clearwater Springs, never leaving a ten mile radius. She went to a public school and found that she had difficulty connecting with the other children. She would play by herself and outwardly did not seem bothered, but inside was worried that there was something wrong with herself. Her parents were the owners of a dog kennel, where Ari would often help out. She found that the dogs seemed to be able to pick up on her feelings, and really understand her. She would go to the kennel as often as possible, and read all of the canine-related books that her parents possessed.
In grade four Ari made what she considered her "first friend", a girl named Charlotte. The two were very close and Ari was please to have made the connection.
Ari was a consistently good student throughout school, but lacked interest in most areas of study. Her main motivation to do well in her courses was the promise of her parents that she could help run the kennel business if she proved herself through her education. In the arts specifically, she fell short of the average mark. The only course she truly enjoyed, with no ulterior motivation, was biology, which she excelled at.
Shortly after her graduation Ari became a partner with her parents in running the kennel, and successfully convinced them to extend the business to a training school. She has written several scholarly articles on animal behaviour and is considered an expert in that field.
She is still a close friend of Charlotte.
Assigned Fal’an: Sivir
Energy Level: Blue (low)
Appearance:
Power(s): Super speed, energy whips
Personality: Somewhat of a lazy creature, Sivir doesn't like to participate unless the need is dire or if people inflate his ego, finding most social pleasantries to be boring and time consuming. Much like his assigned human, he is selective of his company, but it is known that he is a cold person to outsiders, unlike the simply awkward Ari. He could be considered haughty. He is extremely prideful, not being one to beg or grovel to anyone. He is quite sarcastic which puts up a slight barrier between him and his assigned, though it provides a good learning experience for Ari. Despite his lazy demeanor he is one to constantly berate others for their own conduct, often in a constructive manner, if one actually listened and ignored the hypocrisy of his statements. A textbook case of superiority complex.

Name: Bruce Ackerman
Age: 25 (October 1)
Gender: Male
Occupation: Redwood County Sheriff's deputy
Appearance: Bruce stands 5'10" tall and weighs 170 Lbs. He is lean with a flat stomach and pointed nose. His tightly curled black hair is cut very short; high and tight. His brown eyes are lighter, more hazel than dark. A ring of green may be seen around the outer ring of the iris. His eyes produce repeated compliments about his appearance and attract the opposite sex. His skin is lightly tanned in appearance due to his mother being of African-American descent.
Bruce takes pride in his appearance, checking the mirror every time he steps outside his apartment in Clearwater Springs (Redwood County). His uniform is always pressed and his leather items are polished to a high shine. When off duty. Bruce wears blue jeans and a random T-shirt with a black leather jacket and sneakers or sweats, T-shirt and shorts for exercising.
Strengths: Bruce is physically fit. He runs regularly and works out in a gym as well as training in Krav Maga at a local dojo. He received his 2nd degree black belt last November following his 25th birthday. Bruce has an excellent memory. If he has seen it before, he can instantly recall it. If he has been someplace before, he will know how to return. He has a natural sense of direction and cannot get lost. Although Bruce appears intelligent, his memory helps him to fake it, he is not one to read books or do research of any kind. The only exceptions to that rule are State Laws for work and Martial arts techniques.
Weaknesses: Although Bruce is in great shape and works out regularly he could be considered lazy. If it weren't for the fact that he has gotten into the habit of working out regularly, he probably wouldn't do it. As a creature of habit, exercise and training seem to come natural to him. But his personal life suffers from his laziness. His apartment is a mess and his Ram pickup truck is a mess. Sometimes, Bruce has verbal diarrhea, not knowing when to shut up. He may engage his lips before his brain has thought through what he should say; saying something inappropriate or at least the wrong thing at the wrong time. Keeping secrets is a skill he has struggled with for most of his life. Working at a career in Law Enforcement has forced him to make an effort keeping secrets. The other officers at the Sheriff's office know that keeping certain information close to the vest is necessary. Bruce can be seen bouncing with excitement about some juicy piece of information that he earnestly wishes to share with someone, but must force himself into containment.
History: Bruce did poorly in academia simply because he didn't apply himself. He made the minimum scores necessary to graduate with no intention of pursuing a higher level of education. He always wanted to be a police officer and looked up to the deputies of the Redwood County Sheriff's Department.
In High School, Bruce played Defensive Back for the Clearwater Springs Football team. On occasion, he was asked to fill in as a Wide Receiver if they needed additional players. This allowed him to play both sides of the ball. Although he was lazy in some aspects, his physical world did not encompass that quality. As an example, he would put off reading a book for English Class in favor of putting in time at the gym, training at the dojo or playing football with friends.
In the springtime, Bruce was a runner for the High School track team. He competed in the one mile and two mile runs as well as the 400-meter hurdles and 400 meter relay. He was not the top runner on the team, but was always a strong competitor.
After graduating from High School, Bruce began training in Krav Maga at the local dojo,
Clearwater Martial Arts Academy. He enjoyed the physicality of the activity and learned how to defend himself in the process. At age 19, he was accepted into the County Sheriff's department and attended the Police Academy. The Krav Maga program tied in nicely with his training as a Sheriff's deputy.
In High School, Bruce was friends with most of the boys who played on the football team. There were at least a few dozen boys he knew in High School. Jon Paquette, who played Linebacker for the Clearwater Springs High School football team also joined the Redwood County Sheriff's department the same time as Bruce. They are still close today, working
the job in Clearwater Springs.
Assigned Fal’an: JukirEnergy Level: Yellow (high) Appearance:Powers: - Energy Shields - Jukir's spines stand up, radiating energy which produces a protective force field.
- Resonance - Jukir can produce different levels of vibrations which are capable of shattering objects, causing discomfort/pain to living creatures.
Personality: Jukir has a natural flair for leadership and takes command of a situation comfortably. He can be decisive. Jukir is naturally reserved, less than trusting of others. Knowing that trust is imperative in accomplishing some tasks, he will give some in order to accomplish the task. Jukir can be somewhat manipulative, but not in a deceitful way. Unlike his human counterpart, Jukir is very focused, excelling in intellectual pursuits. Although Jukir is quite intelligent, he is actually quite physical like his human counterpart. Jukir can be playful, using his resonance or whatever tools are at his command to perform small acts of joviality upon unsuspecting recipients. It is his way of accepting a person. If he plays a practical joke on you, then he at least has some respect for you.

Name: Galina Natalia Zuyev
Age: 30
Gender: Female
Occupation: Doctor
Appearance: Long blonde hair that she likes to keep pinned or tied back, fair skin, hazel eyes, and is of average height (5'5").
Strengths: Efficient, kind, curious, precise
Weaknesses: Can get caught up in her fascination with something, and it may take some prompting to get her back on track; when not in "bedside manner" mode she tends to be somewhat withdrawn
History: Having only finished medical school a couple of years before, her residency at the Clearwater Medical Center was her first placement as a full doctor. It took her some time to get used to being in an isolated community where she sometimes has to make due if deliveries aren't on schedule, but once she settled in, there wasn't any other community she'd rather be a part of, especially as she has no family (lost in a fire when she was very young) and grew up in the nearest city's foster care system.
Assigned Fal'an: Aspir
Energy level: Blue (low)
Powers: Energy blasts (fires balls of energy from the tail), x-ray vision (does not work against objects that deflect x-rays)
Personality: Unlike her human, Aspir is quite friendly and outgoing. She's as hardworking as her human, and working together, they've found ways to make her powers helpful to someone providing medical care, such as using only a small amount of energy in her energy blasts to revive someone in place of a defibrillator, or using her x-ray vision to help diagnose injuries and other health problems. They make a good team, and greatly enjoy each other's company. She tends to be very high energy, and occasionally somewhat hyperactive, which can wear others out.

Name: Jennifer Darcy
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Occupation: Owner and proprietor of WARRIORS, an urban combat gym
Appearance: Jennifer is 6' tall and built of solid muscle. She has tanned skin, and brown hair that she wears in a ponytail with bangs that frame her face. Her eyes are green. When not in workout clothes at the gym Jennifer wears trendy clothes that often show off a peak of skin.
Strengths: Jennifer is very active and physically fit. She is a master of Shaolin Kempo and teaches it at WARRIORS. She is noble and almost to a fault. Jennifer is also well versed in literature and enjoys things like Astrology and star gazing. She can track and has survival skills and has done several survival stints in the mountains for fun.
Weaknesses: Jennifer is overbearing and overprotective of everyone, even if she doesn't know them. She assumes people cannot take care of themselves and thus assumes the burden of caring for them onto her shoulders. This has led to her being seen as highly condescending to those who don't know her well. She is a natural leader and thus has trouble standing down to led someone lead the group. She's also independent and hates having to depend on others. She would rather everyone depend on her. She is ridiculously claustrophobic and paranoid.
History: Jennifer grew up under the care of single father William Darcy. Will worked long hours to care for Jennifer but as he was rarely home, the girl learned to take care of herself. That is until the day she was kidnapped. All of Redwood county was up in arms to find the little elementary school girl who vanished on her way home from the bus stop.
They didn't find her for three days.
After Jennifer's rescue, the girl spent a lot of time being afraid of everything and her father was so afraid to leave her alone that he was nearly fired for missing so much work. When it was determined that they couldn't continue to live this way, a decision was made: Jennifer would learn to protect herself. He sent Jennifer to self defense classes where the girl learned a variety of marshal arts and modern fighting techniques. As she grew up, the fears faded and in it's place grew a near pathological need to protect others.
This need gave birth to WARRIORS an urban combat gym that specializes in martial arts and other means of self defense. Jennifer has been running WARRIORS with a friend for five years.
