yey for no school =P. So I felt like taking this time to go over some more of my characters in "Element Seeker" (that title needs a serious name change =/)
Neona
My dark elf and is one of Clef's best friends (which is very bizarre to see because dark elves and normal/light elves aren't suppose to get along). At first I was gonna have her be a magic user like Clef but instead she became more of a warrior. Partially due to her backstory. Basically her father is captain of the guards from the place she's from. To dark elves, it's a very high title, almost as important as royalty. Since Neona is a girl (obivously) and the next heir to the throne was in fact a prince, there was gonna be an arranged marriage for the two of them. Neona hated that idea greatly and ran away from the kingdom and lived a secret life. Unlike most dark elves though Neona didn't have any hatred to the "light races" and remained neutral with them. Also Neona has owns a huge halberd thing that she barely uses(which I still can't seem to draw ^_^*). Partially because it's very heavy, where it goes when she not using it... nobody knows... o.o
Lino
No series is complete until it has some highly skilled mechanic that is only 12-15 years old =P. But first, I should probably explain a bit more about the whole "human/elf" conflict thing. Elves believe in magic, humans believe in technology. This eventually lead to a big civil war over which was better (yet really, they are pretty much both equal). The war continued until the continent was split into two (which was often called "The Division"). To the west was the influence of elves, the east was the influence of humans. And so even to this day that wall remains. In order to keep the fantasy theme of the story though, "human science" is different from others. It's actually connected to crystals that humans started digging up. Over time they found ways to control the power in them, which is now used to power machines and whatnot. Which now lots of humans depend on the crystals because of what they can create with them. But that's more or less what it's like.
Anyways, the knowledge about the crystals has gotten to the point where it's possible to make huge objects fly. Which lead to airships. Lino is actually a captain of a special airship called the SF01 (long story..). Not many would actually think he's the captain though, because of his age. To put a long story short, he inherited it, crew and all. By the time he could actually read though, Lino focused all his studies on how to be a pilot for airships and mechanics. Which is why Lino is often thought to be a genius. The rest more of less goes on from there.
Tairra
My other "tree hugger". Tairra is another EQ-based character. She has a strange gift however. You see, animals talk to each other in different forms of telepathy. for example, a deer can talk to a rabbit, but a deer can't talk to a fish. This is because there's different "channels" of the telepathy. So far the known frequencies are forest, sea, sky, ice, and desert. Some animals can know more than one though. For example most birds know forest and sky. For some reason though, elves and humans can't hear them. But somehow, Tairra can understand the forest. In return, she acts as an guardian to animals. However due to this she remains isolated from everyone else.
Tairra has a wide range of other magic, in fact she is consider and elemental as well. Most magic is healing related though. But like Gilaric, some of it revolves with nature too.
