Name: Edward Littimer
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Class: Demi
Godly Parent: Malitia, Goddess of Trickery.
Relationships: TBD
Role: Scam Artist/Thief

Personality: He can be described as a social chameleon. He will be whatever makes him fit in. He is calm, cool and charming; the perfect gentleman. But that is as far as his good traits go. Underneath it all he is a greedy selfish coward. He is willing to do anything to get what he wants, so as long as it doesn’t mean getting his own hands dirty.

Appearance: Edward is very tall and very skinny. This combined with his extremely pale skin and long, greasy black hair, gives him an almost ghoulish appearance. He has stunningly deep blue eyes and a calm, almost friendly demeanor. He dresses well and almost always in black. He owns velvet top hat and an ebony cane; both of which he is very fond of. He has a very large serpent tattoo on his back and a serpent shaped earring in his left ear.

Gear: A cane sword and two flintlock dueling pistols (“I’ll kill you snotty”).

Abilities:
Soothing – Edward is able to make people more willing to do what he wants. The more he talks with them the more they are under his control.

Combat Skills: He his very adept at sword fighting and a very skilled shooter.

Weaknesses: Because of his frail body, Edward doesn’t have the best stamina in the world. Blood also makes him quite nauseous. He needs to be talking to someone for at least five minutes before his soothing ability can take effect. His teleportation is limited to only objects that the average human can lift with just one hand. He has to see the object and he can only do one at a time. He also has a tendency to bite off more than he can chew.

Other Skills: He his is skilled at slight of hand magic.

Bio: Edward was born in the Sun Level and lived there until he was sixteen. His father was banker, so he lived relative comfort for many years, but he was restless. Even though he had all he needed, he wanted more. He wanted attention, power, and money. So when his father told him who his mother was, Edward immediately left home to seek his own fortune.
He moved to the Moon level where fell in and out of several gangs. He learned and mastered his trade and gained followers and soon had his own operation. His closest partner is Matrix-13, his automaton. He drifts between levels as he pleases; always on the look out for some way to make more money or become just a bit more powerful.

[Glow]

Name: Luna
Gender: Female
Age: Immortal, but appears to be in her mid thirties
Class: Goddess.
Relationships:
Sol – Her husband
Aurora and Dilcos – Her children.

Role: Goddess of the Moon.

Personality: Luna has a very two-sided personality. At times she is quiet, reserved but somewhat friendly. Other times she is abrasive, cold, and closed. She is never one open up even when she’s in her friendlier moods. She always keeps her distance. She carries herself with an air of superiority, which is not surprising, considering that she is a goddess.
Appearance: In her human form, Luna appears as a tall, graceful woman in her mid thirties. She has long silvery hair that is kept back in a simple braid. Her eyes are grey and her skin tone is light. She wears a simple long dress and sandals. Her expression is usually unreadable. In addition to her human form, Luna also favors two animal forms: a small black and white border collie, and a white cat. She retains her eye color when she is in either state.
Gear: Twin curved swords.

Abilities: Aside from shape shifting and immortality Luna has the following abilities:
Hypnosis – Luna can send any human or demi into a trance. In this state, the victim stares blankly into space and can’t hear or speak. The longer they are in this trance the more likely they will go insane once they are brought out of this. No matter how long they are in the trance, they are never the same again.
Night Vision – Luna can see in the dark.
Summoning – She can summon any nocturnal animal to do her bidding.
Light Bending – Luna can manipulate moonlight into solid shapes. An example of this would be armor made of pure moonlight. This is at it’s most powerful when the moon is full.

Combat Skills: She is skilled with her two swords and hand-to-hand combat.

Weaknesses: Her hypnosis abilities only work on humans and demis, not on gods. It is more difficult to put a demi into a trance than it is a human because of their godly DNA. Her ability to bend moonlight is dependent on the phases of the moon. If the moon is in it’s crescent phase she can barely create anything. Luna also has a very, skeptical, distrusting nature, which makes it hard for her to form alliances.

Other Skills: Goddess. ‘nuff said.

Bio: Not much is known about Luna since she is hardly one to share. The person who knows her best is Sol, and even he doesn’t know much. All we know is that she is the Goddess of the Moon, wife of Sol, and mother to Aurora and Dilcos.

[Glow]

Name: SD-21 "Sid"
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown
Class: Automaton
Godly Parent: N/A
Relationships: Owned by Victor Ayre
Role: Servant.

Personality: Sid is rather apathetic and dull. He doesn’t care much about anything and only does what he’s told because he has nothing better to do with his time. His people skills are poor and he would rather not speak to anyone unless he absolutely had to. Don’t expect him to give you a pat on the back or shake your hand. In fact, don’t touch him at all. Unless you want your arm ripped off.
While he hates people, that doesn't mean he doesn't understand them. Sid has an uncanny ability to read people and can almost always tell if they're lying.

Appearance: Sid is a wind up automaton and his appearance depends on his configuration. He is structured such that he can have various attachments to fit his needs. Without any attachments, Sid's basic form is very skeletal in nature. He has skinny pole-like arms and legs and a cage like torso that contains the mechanisms that keep him running. He is able to expand and contract his torso as well as his arms and legs via a complex compressed spring and gear system triggered by buttons placed on various joints.
This, in addition to his attachments, allow Sid to have three basic configurations.

Brute Configuration – In this configuration, Sid's chest and legs are extended to maximum length and his body is covered with heavy metal plating. This is used when he goes into situations where a gun fight is expected.
Stealth Configuration – The attachments in this configuration are light and well lubricated, making him virtually noiseless. He extends him self to medium height and keeps himself slim. He is the fastest and the most flexible in this configuration.
Normal Configuration - This is the configuration he prefers when he is doing day to day business. He has his height and width are average and his plating is enough to cover him and keep him protected from an unexpected firefight.

Gear: A note pad, handcuffs, and a first aid kit.

Abilities: N/A
Combat Skills: He knows how to throw a person into a headlock and is a fairly decent boxer. He is an expert marksman with a rifle
Weaknesses: Of course, each of Sid's configurations have their downfalls. His brute configuration, while nearly impervious to bullets, puts a lot of strain on his frame. He can't move much and the longer he stays in this configuration the more likely something will break. His stealth configuration is fast and quiet, but a lot of vital mechanisms are exposed. One shot could prove to be fatal for him. His regular configuration serves him well, but if he’s caught in a prolonged gun fight he could get seriously damaged. Because of Victor's dislike of people and his blunt nature, he makes enemies easily.

Other Skills: Note taking, deduction skills and basic servant duties.

Bio: Sid was custom made for Victor and has served him all his life. He was never enthusiastic about his role, but he does his job well and tolerates Victor. He might even consider Victor to be a friend, but we don’t know that for certain.

Battle Rage – Aaron can intensify the rage of a mob.
Combat Skills: Aaron can use almost any weapon efficiently, but his preference is hand to hand combat and wielding his staff.
Weaknesses: Aaron's crowd controlling abilities are limited only to direction. He can only move a crowd he cannot have them do anything else. He can only intensify the rage of a mob, not conjure it up out of thin air, and once he has done so he can't reverse it. Aaron also has a tendency to act on impulse and can't think on his feet very well. He is also very easily influenced by those he respects.
Other Skills: Mad guitar skills.
Bio: Aaron was born on the sun level to a wealthy aristocratic family. His father (who was forced by Joaquin name him Alfredo because of a lost bet between Joaquin and Cassis) to told him when he was young that he was a son of Cassis and that he was expected to join the army when he was of age. Aaron did join but did so unwillingly and it only lasted a year. He chaffed at the military's rigid structure and didn't get on well with his superiors. He eventually defected and ran to the moon level where he was taken in by those in the temple. There he met and trained alongside his close friend Lucian, to become the next members of the order known as Luna's Blades. Now he and Lucian roam the darkened streets of the Moon Level, serving justice where they can, and having a little fun along the way. (At least Aaron tries to)
