So, this is our thread.
Here's my character.
Name: Lucia Piper Fronts Age: Seventeen Gender: Female Appearance: Standing at an average 5'3", Lucia doesn't jump out of a crowd too much. She is still considered a bit on the short side, though. She sports a slightly athletic figure, with noticeable curves. Her skin is slightly tanned, but not overly so. She has very thick dark brown hair that frames her face well, traveling down to her mid-back. Though, her hair can never seem to decide on whether it wants to be curly, straight, or wavy. It all depends on the weather, and what she does with it. She has swooping bangs that brush over her right eyebrow, and sometimes cover her right eye, getting into her face. Her nose is somewhat narrow, and tilts upward slightly. Her almond-shaped eyes are on the larger side of the size-scale, and are a rich medium brown, like you would see on a chocolate bar, or on dark-stained wood. They are rimmed with long thick lashes that are a shade darker than her hair. She usually wears darker clothes that are fitted, but she always wears a hoodie over her regular shirt. Personality: Despite being raised by a seasoned killer- Elijah himself-, Lucia has some insecurities. She's very insecure about her own appearance, and if someone looks at her a certain way, her face will turn extremely red. Though she had all of these things to her downfall at times, she put up a facade of stone-coldness and anger. She had a tendency to go off at anyone at the Institution- the place where the assassins were housed, and the home-base for them. Lucia was never allowed much freedom, so she just ran away one day. She really prefers to live in the shadows, though it gets lonely at times. She never cries in front of people, and if she does, she gets angry about it. If you try to comfort her while she's crying, there's a good chance you'll either get sliced or hit or kicked. But if you can hold her down, she'll break down and finally just let it all out. Weapon(s) of Choice: She mainly uses daggers, and avoids guns, due to how they draw attention, seeing as how they're so loud. She will occasionally use a long-range weapon such as a crossbow, but those are harder to hide in her clothes. She hides her daggers in the sleeves of her hoodie, and they slide perfectly into straps on her forearms, clicking into place until she later completes the action of flicking her wrists, which causes them to slide out to be used again. Fighting Style: She relies on speed and agility. She's not very strong, really. She is very good at dodging, and catching people off guard. History: She was adopted from an orphanage and raised by Elijah- the head of the Institution. He raised her as if she were his own daughter, but he wasn't the greatest father. He stripped Lucia of most of her freedoms. He only really let her go outside if she had permission from him, or if she was sent on missions. And, she was sent on many, many missions. She was renowned as one of the best assassins in the Institution, thanks to her ability to strike quickly and catch people off guard. But one day, when she was sent on a mundane mission to kill someone, she ran away. And she hasn't been seen ever since. Other: None.

Name: Leo Joseph Fehr
Age: Eighteen
Gender: Male
Appearance: At first glance Leo looks like you average "just out of high school" guy. He has longer darker blonde hair can seem almost brown in some lighting and his eyes have a deep but light blue that everyone comments on. He is about 5'10" and has a decent build that he got from doing a lot of swimming whenever he has free time. He has a mild tan that only makes his eyes pop out more. his face is proportioned almost perfectly and he has a smile that can win almost anyone over. Depending on what he's doing he has three main outfits, one is the casual "i just woke up and i don't care how i look" the second is simple regular cut jeans with a dark wash topped off with a t-shirt and flannel that usually match perfectly. The last is loose cargo pants with a t-shirt and thin shelled jacked that is colored based on his assignment.
Personality: Leo has a very light hearted nature that is almost impossible to overturn. He prides himself on being able to make friends with almost anyone keenly playing to their liking. If he does get pushed into a situation where he gets mad it gets bad; His temper then gets the better of him and he often does things that he regrets in the end. Leo never lets anyone see him upset and will hold it in. The only way to tell when something is up is when he gets quiet and doesn't say anything, which is total contrast to his normal attention hogging self.
Weapon(s) of Choice: No doubt his weapon of choice has to be bow, however he can't use it a much as he like since it looks out of place in many environment. The one thing that he always has on hand are a pair of cuffs that latch onto his wrists right behind his hand. They reach about 6 inches longer then when he balls his fists and are tipped with three wicked sharp claws.
Fighting Style: Leo loves being in the distance most when he fights; he really hates to get his clothes bloody. However he is also very good at hand to hand combat and is strong but also quick.
History: Being one of the only as.sas.sins to actually go to high school, Leo was socialized well as a child. He joined the as.sas.sins mainly to protect his sister after their parents died. He works hard always to please Elijha whenever he can and because of this and his name many people refer to him as Elijah's lion. After joining the institution he found two other as.sas.sins that he works with alot. These two are James and Alyssa. While he isn't on missions he can usually be found hanging out with either of these people. He considers James to be like a brother to him and Alyssa is deathly in love with him, and although he has no real feeling for her other then friendship, he finds it fun to lead her to always wonder whats going on.
Other: Secretly thought of Lucia as sort of a rival since she is one of the few people he could never beat in sparring.

Ooc:// Okay, so, for the setting, what should we have? A small sea-side town or a medium-sized sea-side city sounds good. I just like the ocean~

Ooc:// Medium Sea-side is fine with me. Do you want to start it out with Leo being told about the situation by Elijah at the institution first or what?

Ooc:// He'll already have been informed about the situation, but you can do a sort of flashback scene if you'd like. Elijah can be power-played by you. He's just a tall, pale-skinned man with dark hair in his mid-forties. So his hair's going kinda gray. And he's always calm. Unless it has something to do with Lucia. Then he gets a bit emotional/agitated.

Ooc:// Yes. I'll do that now.

The sound of the beach's waves was like a midnight lullaby to Lucia. While she had never been to an ocean-side town before, she enjoyed this quite a bit. It was all new to her. And, luckily, before she had left, she had nabbed quite a bit of cash from Elijah's vault. She had a feeling he wouldn't be too happy about that, but she honestly didn't care anymore.
She had to get out of that business. She didn't want to kill people anymore. Well, she didn't want to be ordered to kill people anymore. At least, not if she didn't know who the person was. If the person was evil, she would very easily kill them. If they were innocent.... she still had no choice but to do the job back at the Institution.
That was why she had put of a hard wall that projected a cold-hearted killer. She didn't want anyone to get close to her. The only person she'd really ever let touch her was Elijah. She never cried, either. At least, not in front of people. And she was almost always in front of someone.
She dismissed her thoughts as she opened the window of her first-floor hotel room. It was a pleasant temperature outside- why not enjoy the fresh air while she slept? She slipped on some a pair of pajamas that she'd bought with Elijah's stolen money- a pair of short pajama shorts that showed off her legs, and allowed for a free range of movement, and a spaghetti-strap tank top that also allowed for an easy range of movement.
Finally slipping into her bed, she slipped into a light sleep.
Ooc:// So I was thinking that he should break in and confront her. Well, since her door is open, it would be more like climbing in, seeing as how her window is open.

"Leo listen to me. You bring her back. and don't crack any smart remark about me going overboard with this. You know very well what she can do the the institution." Elijha spoke sternly and aggressively hoping he could stress to to Leo the importance of the situation.
"I got it boss, you want your daughter back and no harm done to her, yadda, yadda, yadda." Leo said as he dismissed himself from the office.
Leo recalled his briefing as he laughed and continued to flirt with a girl he met on the beach. He knew exactly where Lucia was the only thing was waiting for the opportune moment to make is presence know. As he talked with girl on the beach he saw Lucia leave her window open and climb into bed. "Hey, i have to go; I am stay in a hotel near hear so i'll try and come back here tomorrow." He told the girl before turning and taking an indirect route to the hotel.
As Leo approached the window he silently listened for Lucia. He saw her in the bed but it took him a second to decide that she was fully asleep. He pulled over the hood of his matte black jacket and climbed silently into the room. Leo moved slowly across the room being sure as to be silent. The claw cuffs on his arm reflected the moonlight that came in through the window.

Despite being so far away from the assassins she once fraternized with, nightmares frequented Lucia's sleep. And she had a particularly frightening one that night. It involved several people attacking her, and then her dying, then being confronted by demons who ripped her apart even more.
When she jolted awake, she saw a figure looming near her bed, with... something glinting in their hand.
It took her half a second to roll off of the bed to the side opposite of where the intruder was, flicking her wrists and clenching her daggers so hard that her knuckles turned white.
She couldn't see the intruder under the hood. And, due to the darkness of the room, she couldn't really tell what sort of weapon they were wielding. Just that it was sharp, and shiny. Probably a knife, she guessed. Either way, she knew very well how to defend herself.
It didn't occur to her that this could be another assassin. She simply viewed this person as some poor robber that was about to get his butt handed to him. Her hair was tied up into a bun, luckily, so that it didn't block her vision- well, her bangs were slightly in her face, but at least she didn't have a huge mass of hair in her face.
"Care to tell me your name before you get canned?" She raised an eyebrow at the figure.

"Names aren't quiet necessary madam." Leo said almost mocking her. "Just stay quiet and make this as easy as possible. I hate to get my clothes dirty." He shuffled his feet slightly toward her and made sure his hood covered his eyes and hair. Hoping the shadows covered his face, he made sure he didn't say enough for her to realize who he was or his real intentions.
Watching her body tense he let his signature smile slip before quickly making himself got back to a poker face. Judging the distance he waited for her to make a move. He knew very well how tricky she could be when t came to catching people of guard and observed he arms to watch for the first strike.

Lucia grinned at what he said. That voice was strangely familiar, but she didn't enjoy being mocked. She, unfortunately, couldn't see the intruder's face. So she dismissed the familiar voice, her muscles tensed into ready position.
In response to his statement about hating to get his clothes dirty, she said, "Too bad. I don't."
Without any real warning, her coiled muscles released and she flung herself over the bed towards him, the dagger in her right hand aiming for his stomach, and the dagger in her left hand ready to stab him in the side of he tried to block her the wrong way- the way that most people tried.
It was a move that only the assassins knew about. Any poor target that she had to assassinate would die almost instantly, if confronted with such a cunning combination of a slash and stab.

Leo read the situation as quickly as possible. Pushing toward to block the knife aimed at his stomach he then spun around Lucia so to dodge the second knife. "Nice trick you got there madam." He said trying to raise her anger. "You don't think I would let a simple trick like that take out a lion do you."
Leo let himself reveal who he really was since the moonilight would now be on his frontside. "Elijah isn't very happy with you." He said using his smile. "You ready to really fight now?" Crossing his claws in front of him waiting for her next move.

Lucia was surprised at this man's agility and ability to dodge her signature move. Usually, such a combination would end in instant death of the victim. But, oddly, he dodged it without a flaw.
The only people who could do that we're assassins. She growled as he revealed himself. She'd known that Elijah would send people after her, but she hadn't expected it to be so soon. And not to mention that this was someone she knew well.
Elijah's lion.
Leo.
"I'm always ready," she said, moving downwards to aim for a strike across his knee, which would immobilize him if it landed solidly.

"I-" Leo paused as he swung down his right claw to deflect the strike. "can easily say you weren't ready five minutes ago." He finish his sentence as he swiped his left claw at Lucia's shoulder.
Leo only needed to disarm her. He had special orders not to kill. If he killed her then, well he himself would face Elijah's wrath.

Lucia was surprised as Leo managed to deflect each of her attacks. When he swung for her shoulder, that caught her off guard. She was expecting for him to kill her- aim for her vital organs
She'd been protecting her chest mainly, but, as she tried to block Leo's slash, she just barely missed, and his claw swiped deep into the flesh of her right shoulder. She let out a sharp cry of pain, then hissed, forgetting her surroundings for a moment and falling backwards onto her bed.
She didn't cry tears as she scrambled backwards, her torn shoulder burning all the way.

"Check mate." Leo stepped towards her as he spoke. "Elijah wants his princess back. It's my job to make sure she comes back alive. So make this easy and give up your knives. I'll take off my claws too, then we head back to the headquarters." He let down his guard seeing as Lucia had no way of using one of her arms without further injuring herself.
Quite honestly Leo thought things were too easy. Lucia never lost. How did he take her out so quickly? Remembering all their previous sparring matches, it had always ended in him being utterly humiliated by her. Heck she humiliated everyone she sparred.
"There is no point in trying to resist Lucia."

Lucia grinned with a wince as she rolled backwards off of the bed, standing up again. Her hair was falling out of its bun, but it didn't affect her vision too much. A grimace crossed her face as her ripped shoulder muscles moved.
She was not going to give up.
"If there's one thing you should know, it's that I don't give up. I fight till I die."
Lucia's eyes closed as she focused for a moment, then opened them again, launching herself once again at Leo. Her right arm wa virtually useless, so her right side was unguarded, but Hyde dagger in her left hand was aimed for Leo's stomach.

Leo was shocked she attacked still. He didn't have time to make a block so he jumped sideways and felt the blade of her dagger glaze of the side of his abdomen. The pain shot through him and he felt the warmth of blood.
Leo didn't let the cut get to him, he new it wasn't a deep enough wound to cause any major damage. "Come on Lucia, you know you can't win without your right arm." Leo glanced at the open window behind her and realized if she tried to run she could possible get away, even with an injured shoulder he knew Lucia could out run him. He then prepared himself to either give chase or fight again depending on what she did.

Lucia grinned as a small amount of blood appeared on her dagger when she withdrew it from Leo's side. She's made a good hit, but it wasn't as bad as the one on her shoulder.
What Leo said was right. She couldn't win without her right shoulder. Every time she moved the muscle, it burned like the very flames of hell were there. She'd worked through the pain of injuries before, so it wasn't anything new.
"I can't win without my right arm, but I sure can mess you up with my left one." She let her right arm swing towards him with a yell of a mix of anger and pain. Stars danced in the corners of her vision. The pain was about to make her pass out.
