LEXA
Birth Name: Lexaldra
Preferred Name: Lexa
Sex: Female
Birthplace: Snehóvškriátok tribe - nomadic warriors of elven heritage that roam the vast tundra plains far to the north
Race: Snow Elf
-Sub-Race: Tirianthrope - White Weretiger
Age: 36
Height: 5'3" (elf) / 6'5" (tiger)
Weight: 100 lbs (elf) / 450 lbs (tiger)
Skin Tone: pale white with a light bluish-gray tint
Hair Color: white & light gray (shoulder length to mid-back)
Eye Color: purple (elf) / emerald green (tiger)
Body Type: Petite/Athletic/Lithe
Voice: Mellifluous/Melodic/Authoritative
~Bio, Lore, & Noteworthy Feats~
- Upon completing a vigorous rite of passage to her people at just 8 years old, Lexa received elven runes that covers most of her body: forehead, cheeks, lower neck, collarbone, back, abdomen, waist, hips, arms, legs, hands and fingers. The ritual consisted of dipping ancestral needles, bones of some ancient creature, into ink made from the soot of sacred wood mixed with sea badger oil. Upon completion, the consumption of a mystical tea brewed from mushrooms called gleaming frost caps, which grew from the excrement dropped by an astral, or inter-dimensional creatures called shrills, imbued the elven runes with the powers of her ancestors. These cold-based powers could be called upon by speaking in the tongue of her ancestors, and only if weather conditions permitted their use. In cold temperatures, the runes begin to give off a faint icy-blue glow, and the colder the temperature, the sharper the glow - the more powerful the magic.
- Lexa is stoic and fierce. She is a force to be reckoned with despite her lithe frame, and what she lacks in stature, Lexa makes up for in ferocity. Not only does she hail from a warrior tribe living in the incredibly harsh environments of the tundra plains, surviving off the brutal and merciless land, but they endured tribal warfare with neighboring communities established upon the plains generation after generation. She is stern and ruthless, but also compassionate and driven. When her mind is set on something there is no changing it without a very convincing reason. She has a long fuse and lots of patience, but when that fuse ends she has a terrifying temper. To her friends and loved ones she is light hearted and humorous, but practical. Her stoicism goes out the door when she is comfortable with someone, and she is very opinionated and ambitious. She will stop at nothing to do what she believes is right, even if that means she is in opposition to those she respects or cares for.
- She was then taken by Luna's Chosen, a tirianthrope who turned her into the white weretiger she is, and continued her training in combat and survival skills. She was well on her way to having become the embodiment of a honed weapon by the time Baelezar, an old werebear, took her in and continued training her in other arts and skills as well. She's very intelligent, compassionate, and civilized, but her enemies see the fierce and brutal savage she is deep down. Her fingernails are inherited from the snow elves, and are like tiny daggers. She's used them on numerous occasions to impale, and literally rip her enemy's hearts out from their chests. She has piercing purple eyes, elven fangs that are very reminiscent of a cat's canines, and is often seen with war paint across her face. In her weretiger form she takes the form of a white tiger. Her eyes become a fiery emerald green and her stature grows much larger. She maintains her feminine frame however. Lexa has mastered her inner beast to the point they are as one, and has the ability to induce a were-beast, or tirianthrope, back to their natural state via a sort of hypnosis. She can change to and from her two forms with relatively painless ease, up to a point. Each transformation takes its toll and there are limits to how often transformations take place.
- Upon rescuing a Celestial Frost dragon named Apolytomideniko, or Niko for short, from a rampaging Inferno, Niko gifted Lexa with a sword she'd forged a mellinia ago called Frostbite. Frostbite's blade is black and shimmers a midnight blue along its edges. The hilt of the sword appears to be made of ice, an icy stalactite protruding from the hilt in the opposite direction than the blade, almost like a dagger, making Frostbite somewhat of a double-edged weapon. Even when sheathed in its scabbard, Frostbite emanates incredibly cold temperatures, allowing Lexa to channel the powers of her ancestors even in less than ideal weather conditions. The blade can freeze blood upon contact, causing instantaneous frostbite in its victims wounds. It can nullify certain fires and other heat based enemies/environmental hazards as well.
- She possesses an Astrum Binding, an ethereal chord that links one soul to another across the stream of infinite lifetimes throughout interdimensional time and space. Celestial entities and divine gods don't even fully comprehend them, for astrum bindings have existed since the beginning of time, as much a part of the fabric of the universe as the stars are; as time itself is. Astrum Bindings are only visible to higher dimensional beings like divine gods and other celestial beings, though there are indications the bearers of the mystical chords can observe and feel the souls at the other end, its purposes unclear and often misunderstood or misinterpreted by those able to study them, and/or interact with them.
- She and Baelezar created a sanctuary for all tirianthropes wishing to live a life of peace where they can overcome their curse and learn to tame their inner beasts and take control of their transformations. They split tirianthropes into four categories: Canines, felines, reptilian/amphibian, and those who didn't fit into the other three. Lexa and Baelezar took up the mantle of Alpha of their respective groups, Baelezar also claiming the title of the ultimate alpha and overseer of the other alphas. Lexa views tirianthropy as a rebirth of sorts, and that everyone, no matter how good or bad, deserves a second chance upon becoming one of them. However, she wouldn't hesitate to kill anyone who squanders that second chance, endangering anyone accepted into her home. Her beta, or second in command, would eventually fall to a werelion named Gudoza.
GUDOZA
Birth Name: Gudoza Asaju
Preferred Name: Gudoza
Sex: Male
Birthplace: Raj'Viidak
Race: Human
-Sub-Race: Tirianthrope - Werelion
Age: 39
Height: 6' (human) / 8'3" (lion)
Weight: 235 lbs (human) / 500 lbs (lion)
Skin Tone: darker toned white
Hair Color: dirty blonde (nearly shoulder length)
Eye Color: blue (human) / burnt orange (lion)
Body Type: Toned-Muscular/Fit
Voice: Humble/Assertive/Husky
~Bio, Lore, & Noteworthy Feats~
- Gudoza Asaju was raised in the city of Raj'Viidak, a kingdom nestled between a desert-like savanna and lush green jungles. He served his lords as the Knight Commander of the city's elite protectors, the Knights of the Sacred Flame, until he was afflicted with tirianthropy, an affliction that changes people into rabid monstrous beasts. He was stripped of his rank and title and exiled into the wilderness when he lost control and slaughtered dozens of innocent refugees, as well as one of the city's lords that had been accompanying him. He eventually found his way to The Den where he attempted to take Lexa's title as Alpha of the felines. She humiliated and humbled him, choosing to let him live instead of killing him for his audacity, and Gudoza grew to respect and appreciate Lexa and the lesson she had taught him.
- He became acting Alpha when Lexa mysteriously disappeared, and led a full frontal attack against their enemy, The Bone Collectors, whose sole purpose is to hunt down and annihiltae all of their kind, wiping them from the face of the earth.
- Gudoza is practical and logical, and often times the voice of reason. He goes out of his way to consciously push hiw own interests aside and adopt the mindset Lexa had portrayed as Alpha. He is fiercely loyal, but capable of making harder decisions that may bring his loyalty into question. However, these hard decisions aren't made in bad faith. He put his beta in charge of the felines, and is currently searching for his missing alpha.
YUKUZA
Birth Name: Unknown
Preferred Name: Yukuza
Sex: Male
Birthplace: Valisvahha - The Savani Elves's ancestral home
Race: Savani Elf
-Sub-Race: Tirianthrope - Werehyena
Age: 63
Height: 6'1" (elf) / 8'5" (hyena)
Weight: 200 lbs (elf) / 380 lbs (hyena)
Skin Tone: golden brown - giraffe-like spots
Hair Color: brown (to shoulder blades)
Eye Color: gold-ish orange (elf) / midnight blue (hyena)
Body Type: Lean/Athletic
Voice: Melodic/Average
~Bio, Lore, & Noteworthy Feats~
- Was turned and sentenced to death by his people, in order to free his spirit. Lexa convinced the Savani elves to allow her to fix him, and used her abilities to revert Yukuza back into his elven form before the city's eyes, splitting their beliefs and causing much controversy. He was exiled from his home, and chose to travel by Lexa's side and aid her on her quest.
- Niko gifted the Savani elf an enchanted charm that would prevent his transformations, with the exception of the full moon. Upon falling into a magically-induced coma, his charm was lent to a massive group of tirianthrope slaves Lexa had freed and sent to The Den. Yukuza is presently still in a coma.
BAELEZAR
Baelezar is a founder of The Den, and Alpha of Alphas, as well as his own sect of kin. He found Lexa when she was but a girl, lost and abandoned, and took it upon himself to fill a paternal role in her life. She was already a weretiger at this point, with frighteningly strong control over the affliction. He showed her love and what it meant to be part of a family. She was already trained in the art of self defense among other formidable fighting styles, and he continued to train her to be a strong and powerful leader, a woman capable of standing on her own against all odds. Together, they founded The Den when she was much older. Lexa has never seen him outside of his werebear form, and neither has anyone else that she is aware of. He either only changes forms when he is alone, or has remained in his werebear form for decades, a feat that should be impossible to achieve.
Presently, Baelezar has vanished. His whereabouts are a mystery, and after many attempts to find him, his people had to move on. The mystery of Baelezar looms over Lexa as she ventures out on her own in search of answers to questions she would never have known to ask if she wasn't led to believe he'd greatly wronged ancient god-like beings called Druids, who tasked her with the responsibility of bringing him to them. Upon searching his empty quarters deep within the Den, she discovers he is associated with: 1. the Bone Collectors (an order of knights and hunters whose sole purpose is to hunt down their kind). And 2. The man that had taken her from her home as a young child, and whom turned her into a weretiger, both occurring beneath the unio lunarum eclipse: when both moons are full and align in the night sky. The man, Jarik, was supposedly one of Luna's Children's disciples, the Goddess of the Moons' Chosen elite.
Baelezar's mysterious association with these two factions, as well as with the Druids, has made his disappearance all the more concerning, and remains a mystery to be solved.
