Name: Ion

Natural Tenancy: Healer

Hair: dark brown

Eyes: ice blue

Height: 6'

Physical Description: Tanned, athletic build

Personal Notes: Personal notes? Seriously? You actually expect me to coherently explain how I came to be here? Never mind where I am-- I don't even know where I've come from. Not really. I make up stories about that all the time, because when it comes down to it, it's a question I can't answer. Like... I don't know. Where was I born? Who are my parents-- where are they? I was 'found', that's what they said. I was given a first name, and later chose a last name off the binding of a book. The truth is, I have no idea who I am. I just... I just know that there's something wrong with me. And since no one's ever going to see this stupid document, I'll admit it: yeah. I'm afraid.

Name: Hawk

Natural Tenancy: Shifter

Hair: cocoa brown

Eyes: greenish brown

Height: 5'3

Physical Description: olive skin, athletic build. Has black bands marking both upper arms, and one around left ring finger

Personal Notes: I hate these personal note sections. I'm here for the same reason everyone else is-- to train to defeat the darkness ahead. Seems weird... so much talk of darkness in the future when there is so much just within me. I know I can't go back and change the much as I wish I could. So I guess focusing on the future keeps me sane. I know what my mission is - I know my duty as the patriarch, the split soul, is to find my other half. I know we're depending on that. I just... I just hope one day the nightmares will stop. 

Name: Fin

Natural Tenancy: Channeling

Hair: Golden Blonde

Eyes: Blue

Height: 6'1

Physical Description: Golden tan, athletic build

Personal Notes: Eh, just what I tell everyone else: I'm just a Dublin boy who has a peculiarly green thumb. Hawk taught me most of what know... I can't imagine where I would be without her. I love this Dimension and it's anomalies, I trust Sensei with all that I am, and I believe in our cause... I just wish my family could understand me. Who I really am. They mean so much to me, and yet... it's like I'm a stranger to them. I'm different in ways that they could never imagine-- they wouldn't believe me even if I tried to explain. I mean... how do you tell your parents you're not human anymore?

Name: West

Natural Tenancy: currently unknown

Hair: chardonnay blonde

Eyes: hazel

Height: 5'9

Physical Description: Fair skin, wiry build. Wears glasses.

Personal Notes: I grew up in Arizona, and I'm currently attending college in LA, where I'm majoring in astrophysics. I'm renting a place with two friends, if you can call them that... two head cases who constantly distract me from my studies. Ruger is a party animal and my reason for buying a box of earplugs, and Ion is... well, let's just say he has issues. He's why I have a lock on my door. I just want to have a large americano and lock myself in my room with a book about kinetic theory - is that so much to ask?
