A Clear Melody

Introduction: Raiden

Raiden, a young woman who many mistake for a man, a very feminine man. Only those close to her could call her Nerida and get away with it, sometimes with a few bruises too. There was not anyone she couldn't get along with in her guild, her stubborness accounting for that. Although Raiden got along with everyone well enough, people had trouble understanding Raiden. She was a quiet, introvertic person, who tends to shy away from physical contact, if noticed. She was also very oblivious. Not that Raiden wanted to be a shy, quiet person, but due to the accident several years back, she could not speak above a whisper. Infact, it hurts her to whisper even a sentence, and sometimes would even stop suddenly. This annoyed many people, because they think Raiden did not acknowledge their request.

Raiden's magic was, oddly enough, water magic. Though what type of water magic is unknown, due to her amnesia and muteness. People sometimes speculated that her attacks were similar to a dragonslayers, not that she knew about it. Even the guild master commented on the fact that it was almost destructive as dragon slayer. So thus, they just called her Serena Melody's dragonslayer. Though a sad excuse for one, Raiden struggled with her spells.

Raiden, called that because of mistaken identity, was often mistaken as a man. The reason? Raiden dressed in a simple, chocolate-brown, wrap around ponch, a white steampunk vest, that was covered by the poncho and the strangest pants. It was like a chocolate brown skirt, but actually really baggy, girly pants. This confused alot of people. She also wore greek sandals and a black witch hat. Raiden was five foot eight, which was another reason why she was mistaken as a man. Raiden loved her height and would oftenly compare it with others, mostly those who are taller then her.

Raiden's hair was a very light blonde, almost going blue from how light it was. She was extremely neat, so she kept it in a long braid. The small pieces of hair she couldn't put in the braid, was braided into small braids. Her long, heavy braid was kept in place by a silver hair piece, that sometimes, when she swinged her head to fast, the end piece would hit someone in the face. It often resulted in a bruise or a knocked out person. Many a person complained about this.

Raiden's eyes were often the sight of contemplation and misunderstandings. Her eyes were slanted, often similar to a cats. the colour of her iris was actually yellow, but reflected a gold colour, enchanting many when it happened. Her right iris had a blue ring around it, not very noticable unless if you looked closer.

All in all, Raiden was strange.

Introduction: Vlad

Serena Melody was a very strange guild indeed, not that it was a bad thing. In one corner of the guild, sat a very specific person, Vlad. Many considered him strange, but was considered a most trusted person of the guild. Vlad was loyal and placed his faith in his guild, the guild was his family. His jokes were often heard through out the guild, cheering up even someone who was sad. Vlad was not anti-social, but nor did he like big crowds, so he sat in the corner. Although he was a trusting person with the guild, sometimes Vlad had trouble looking a person in the eye, this caused many a problems with clients, as they thought Vlad was being rude. But Vlad loved his guild and would do almost anything for them, even if his own life was at stake. Threaten his family and you'd find yourself on the wrong side of Vlad.

Vlad's magic was often a touchey subject with some clients. Vlad was a necromancer, a person who specialises a form of black arts, Necromancy. Serena Melody could care less what magic Vlad used, but the world couldn't. Of course, Necromancy wasn't the easiest of magics to master, let alone survive through, but Vlad was a master at his magic. Necromancy was a dangerous thing. Necromancy involved things such as communing with vile, evil spirits, commanding the dead and the ability to consume the energy from living life forms, which is what the clients have a problem with.

Vlad was a very noticable person in the guild. Standing at six feet tall, Vlad towered over most of the guild members, even Raiden, who seemed fond of being tall. Vlad had silver hair, neatly combed and slightly a bit long. His ears were silver wolf ears, which was a cause of speculation amongst guild members. Vlad had two different coloured eyes, his left eye was purple and his right eye was a dark blue. Vlad also had a silver prehensile tail, which was three foot six inches long and was often used as a weapon in battle. But the strangest thing about Vlad was his skin colour. Vlad had skin the colour of indigo, this was due to his magic.

Vlad, although strange looking in self, wore simple clothing. Vlad wore a single, black leather coat with the hood always covering his head. He also wears black cargo pants with several pockets, black combat boots with a silver trim and simple black laces. Covering his hands, were a simple of black combat gloves.

Vlad was strange, but he could get along with anyone. Well, anyone unless if they are a part of a dark guild. Vlad also had the strangest tendency to hang upside down from the roof and oddly enough sleep there. If one were looking for Vlad, they just had to look up and they would find him hanging from one of the chandliers, the support beams, or the ceiling, which you must know, was very high up. Five stories to be specific.
