Name: Erea Kaie
Race/Species: Taibhse-taise (means "ghost-wraith", a being similar to a Druid... but like on steroids)
Age: 2,516, but appears physically at twenty-five
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Appearance: Eea has natural, solid grey eyes with a ring of thick black around the iris and a ring of faint white around her pupils. Her hair is long, falling just past her breasts and is black-blue in colour, which makes it stand out against her slightly tanned, but somewhat porcelain white skin. She is relatively short, standing a good five foot six. However, all her muscles are leanly honed with speed and strength from years of sparring with her father. Erea has two different body modifications, and a score of thannasg comharran or wraith marks. However, the only thannasg comharran she chooses to be somewhat visible, is the one on her face. Her body modifications include four man-made tattoos and two piercings. The tattoos are located on her inner wrists and behind her ears. They are a symbol-based written language of the Taibhse-taise. The first one, located on her right wrist means “Taibhse-taise”, the second one located on her left wrist means “Warrior”, the third one located behind her right ear means “High Queen”, and the fourth one, located behind her left ear means “Neutrality”. Her two piercings are in the form of a double helix in her right ear. The piercings can be either small hoops or studs. On occasion, a small chain can be attached between the two and decorated accordingly. Her ears are long and sharply pointed. For her clothing, Erea likes to wear a dark grey, twisted breast band to cover her breasts and dark gray bottoms that looks like underwear, but isn't. Over top of the panty-like bottoms, she'll wear a half-robe that wraps around her waist and falls over her hips in segments of four. The hem of that stops at the floor. On her feet and lower legs, she wears a legging-like streatchy material that wraps around the center parts of her feet, leaving the ball of her foot, her toes, and her heels free before it wraps around her ankles and goes up her legs to stop just below her knee. Aside from that, she might were leather vambraces on her lower arms.
Personality: Erea is emotionally fractured, and her main emotion… is no emotion. She wears the other fractured pieces of her emotions like a cloak, only to be discarded once she’s done using it. However, during displays of genuine emotion, she is shown to be very reserved, but very observant, always watching with curiosity in her eyes. When she shows her anger, it is hot, burning fast and bright like a magnesium strip, and she is very adept at holding long grudges. Despite being emotionally fractured, Erea is extremely ruthless when it comes to protecting those she cares about. On top of all that, she is very old, so she knows a little bit of most everything.
History: Before she was born in this world, she lived in an alternate dimension on an earth called Tyrandul. There, she was the offspring of two of the five leaders made from the magic while that planet was being formed. She was born shortly after they were made and became the mate of one of the leaders, however she was just as old as the rest of their leaders when they had to flee their home for a different dimension. Once there, she along with everybody else realized that they were incorporeal beings, they merged with soulless infants. When both her parents were born and when her mother was old enough to work magic in this new world, her soul was bound to a double terminated quartz crystal that her mother wore as a necklace. She stayed in that crystal until she was born. However, she did feel her mate’s death and… it drove her mad. She effectively went numb. When she was born, she was born to Dea Dleathach, Healer Queen, and Olc Fíor, Warrior King. She was given the name “Erea” which meant “of emerald hills” at the time of her birth. As she was growing up, she learned both healing and fighting from her parents, although she excelled in combat. When she finished going through the Taibhse-taise version of puberty, she learned her magic. She learned that she could sing her spells, making her the only Spellsinger in Taibhse-taise and Flibhae culture.
when she was around five hundred years, about three hundred years after she learned the basics of her magic and developed them fully, an unnamed and forgotten war broke out. Different kingdoms vied for land and power. In this war, Erea proved her prowess over and over as she fought on par with her father. After one battle, he gifted her with her earned name “Kaie” which meant “combat”, “battle”, and “warrior” in her time. She was one of five with the earned name Kaie, the most elite warrior. At the end of the war, she wandered around the country for a little while.
When she was a millennia, her parents were on a sabbatical from their kingdoms and were attacked, and she heard about the attack hours after it happened. She found her father half-dead and with his final breath, willed her his power. The shock of it tore her from her numbness and towards the darker end of the morality spectrum. With that rage, she tore after those who took her mother, and slaughtered them with no mercy.
Erea gathered her mother, and the body of her father, and took them back to her father’s kingdom. Once he was there, his body was cremated in a giant pyre and his ashes were placed in a stone urn and buried beneath his crann-cara, or tree-friend. A few months after that, Erea’s mother found she was pregnant with a Roman get, threw herself upon Erea’s sword. Before her final breath, she willed Erea her power. Erea burned then buried her mother and left the country.
She wandered between different kingdoms and empires, acting as a bodyguard and a mercenary. She only came back to her own people when she was a millennia-and-a-half, when she heard that her aunt had died. After, she fell into a millennia-long codladh na cumhachta, sleep of power.
After she woke up, she found that she was the last Taibhse-taise and the last true Flibhae. After a hundred or so more years later, Erea came across a newly turned Vreix'yhr named Weylyn MacGregor. His sire had been killed not a yard away and Erea took it upon herself to raise the newborn as best she could. To protect him, she gave him one of her magic slave-torcs. And so, she taught him how to be a Vreix’yhr with her limited knowledge.
In the current age, she had released Weylyn, but he still wears her torc (no matter how much she protests).
Special Items/Powers: Because Erea is a Taibhse-taise, she can do many things. One of those main things, is magic, spoken in their native language, the diamhair teanga, or the hidden tongue. She can speak, chant, and sing her spells, making her the only Spellsinger. Tied in with the magic is the ability to control nature which includes the ability to communicate with animals, and perform divinations, in which her eyes will turn a cloudy, murky blue. She can also shapeshift into extant and (recently) extinct animals, however their colour scheme is very monochromatic; black, white, and gray.
Whenever Erea meets a new person, the colours in her eyes will swirl briefly until they settle on the colour that reflects that person’s soul. Because of what happened with her parents at their deaths and them willing her all their abilities, she has gained some… interesting side effects, such as the iris colour change. Another side effect is what happens to her eyes when she is feeling extreme emotions that lie on the opposite ends of the morality spectrum. At the morally wrong end of the spectrum, her sclera are a vantablack with bright white irises, regular black pupils and a pinprick of white inside. Also at this end, the tips of her fingers, tips of her ears, and lips get a black stain. At the morally right end of the spectrum, her sclera are a bright white (with no veins showing) with vantablack irises, white pupils and a pinprick of black inside. Also at this end, the tips of her fingers, tips of her ears, and lips get a white stain. As she rises and falls in either direction, the staining increases.
Since Erea is a Taibhse-taise, she can shape change into the true form of her species. This form is different than the one she wore when they were in Tyrandul. This one had the same thin, gray skin but over toned muscles. On her back are large bat-like wings with torn membranes and her tail has a very ragged plume of gray-white-black feathers. She stands seven foot seven without headgear. With her headgear – which is a mixture of a bighorn sheep and an elk (curved segments with the long tines) – she’s at eight foot three.
Other notes/weaknesses: When Erea uses way to much magic, she will feel faint and weak, having to sleep or eat to regain her lost magical strength. If a closed necklace is forced around her neck (she won't let somebody close a necklace around her neck willingly), her magic will be cut off, and she'll be incrementally weaker. However, she'll still beat a person up. If a necklace is left on long enough, her magical ability will atrophy until she can build the strength up again.

Taibhse-taise are completely magical beings. They are a special sub-set of Flibhae, or Druids, and are the leaders.
Weylyn MacGregor WIP....
Name: Weylyn MacGregor
Race/Species: Vreix'yhr (vampire... of sorts)
Age: 374, but physically appears at twenty-five
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Pansexual, but leans more towards females.
Appearence: Weylyn has red-blonde hair, shorter on the top of his head, and in the front, and easy to spike when wet. However, the hair along the back of his head is longer, ending passed his knees. Since it is long, he keeps it in a regular, or fishtail, braid with the colours of his human Clan tying it off. His eyes are that bright wolf-yellow with oval-ish pupils. Whenever he gets angry, or thirsty, his eyes glow brighter as his vision sharpens. Because of a strange mutation he received when he was Turned, Weylyn has a total of eight fangs. Four fangs on each jaw; his canines, and the incisors next to them. His skin tone is a sunkissed bronze with pale, lateral marks on the left side of his neck, at his collarbone. Also around his neck is a golden torc, with the ends stylized as ravens. Weylyn likes to display it, but hides it when around groups he is unsure of. He is covered with lean muscle, but still has some bulk to him, as his flight response is more known than his fight response. He stands tall, around six foot three. For his clothing, he tends to wear worn, form-fitting linen pants that sits comfortably on his hips and ends at his ankles. His boots are comfortable, worn leather boots that come up to his knees, with plate armour strapped over top. His top is a grey tunic with the front tucked into the waist of his pants, with the back hanging free. Over top the tunic is a leather jerkin of sorts. Overtop the entire outfit, he likes to wear black cloaks with some grey (celtic) knots embroidered into the hood.
Personality: Weylyn is very loyal towards Erea, as she had raised him. He will always serve and protect her, even though she wishes him to stop. In this alone, he will shed his normally playful persona. When not acting like an overprotective older brother, Weylyn is a generally easy-going, very playful and flirty Vreix'yhr.
History: Weylyn doesn't remember much about his human life. He knew he had parents, maybe a sibling, but couldn't remember specifics like names and faces. He only remembers his Sire, Akir Lithglow, seeing him killed as he hid, then meeting a female unlike any other. She took him in after they burned his Sire and he was raised by her to the best of her knowledge. She trained him to fight and helped him with his abilities when they started to show, giving pointers on concentration techniques. When he was about one hundred-fifty years of age, other beings started coming to her, requesting help and he became a second to her.
In this current age, still follows her around despite being "freed" from her influence, acting as a secretary/bodyguard/errand boy.
Special Items/Powers: Because of the placement and length of their fangs, Vreix’yhri can unhinge their jaws like a snake so their mouths can fit around a human neck. Attached to these fangs are glands of endorphins that can cause their prey either euphoria or pain. Their eyes glow brightly whenever they feel extreme emotions, or if they’re thirsty. From each of their fingers and thumbs sprout six-inch claws. Each claw is pure black, and have a slight curve like a talon. Each Vreix’yhr has superhuman strength, speed, and senses (sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing) that gradually increases as they age. While not an ability, per say, their ears slowly get pointed as they age.
When he was Turned, he ended up being blessed by a trickster god. For some reason or another. With this blessing, Weylyn gained the ability to phase through any solid object and cast illusions powerful enough to fool all the senses.
Other notes/weaknesses: Vreix’yhri have a sun sensitivity. The sensitivity is similar to a sunburn, and will cause the Vreix’yhr to weaken. The more a Vreix’yhr stands in direct sunlight, the more burned they get and the weaker they become. Silver, which is a pure substance, acts like a poison when it is introduced into the bloodstream, attacking the blood and the organs. It will make a Vreix’yhr want to consume more blood to help expel and overwhelm the metal. If it is laid against their skin, their flesh will blister and burn, forming into something similar to the third degree. A wooden stake, impaled anywhere in the torso, will temporarily paralyze a Vreix’yhr.
In regards to the abilities he gained from the trickster god, there are some downsides. For example, his illusions don't work on people who are extremely intelligent or have magic of their own. If they do work on those people, then the illusion doesn't fool all of the senses. The phasing, at this moment, is more of a defense mechanism. If he wants to consciously use it, he has to concentrate.
