[edit] Act 1
[edit] Part 1
[edit] Ryushi
Age: 16
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Blue
Spirit Stones: Sky blue - Ryushi's spirit stones are capable of manipulating particles in the air to create varying amounts of force. In the beginning of the story, he has little to no control over his stones, and their use results in large amounts of destruction and total drainage of his energy. As the story progresses, however, he becomes capable of controlling his power.
Weapon of choice: Sword
Ryushi has lived at Osaka Stud all of his life with his twin sister Kia, which is essentially a ranch for breeding wyverns. He is dissatisfied with his life, as he would like to travel outside of his home and see the world. He is jealous of his older brother Takami, who gets to travel with their father Banto on his excursions into the outside world. In one such excursion, Banto returns with a young girl named Elani, who he claims is very important and Ryushi must protect her with his life.
One day, Osaka Stud was attacked by the Jachyra, agents of King Macaan. The stud is destroyed, but Ryushi is able to escape with Kia and Elani on one of the wyverns. As they escape, Ryushi sees his father murdered by a strange masked man amongst the king's agents.
Ryushi is very loyal to his promise to his father, and will go to any length to protect Elani. He also tends to be very depressed about his inability to control his stones. He can be very headstrong and constantly craves vengeance for what has happened to his family.
[edit] Kia
Age: 16
Hair: Red
Eyes: Green
Spirit Stones: Red - Kia's Spirit Stones control the earth. She is capable of forming barriers and large structures, but her most common use is creating a golem from the earth around her to attack enemies.
Weapon of choice: Bo staff
Kia is Ryushi's twin sister. She lived with her family in Osaka Stud, as Ryushi. Kia often fought Ryushi in training battles, wherein Ryushi was always bested as he cannot control his Spirit Stones. Kia seems to be rather popular with the boys in the area, although one reason for this may be that there is little mention of any female population outside of Kia. Ty had a crush on her for many years, although she did not take it seriously but only enjoyed getting the attention.
When Osaka Stud was destroyed, it changed her immensely, and she became cold and unfeeling towards everyone, including Ryushi and Elani. The only thing she really wants is revenge against the Royalists.
[edit] Takami
The Eldest child of Banto and elder brother to Kia and Ryushi.
Takami's Spirit Stones enable him to manipulate heat and flame to his liking and he favours the Nodachi sword as his weapon. Known for his greed and lust for power throughout the story, he often resorts to fighting dirty and cheating in order to obtain it.
He comes into conflict with the twins several times before gathering the strength to regain his honor before his siblings.
