Name: Mylnür
Species: Human
Age: Thirty-seven
Sex: Female
Appearence: http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/c...nr--Colour.jpg
Personality: Mylnür is essentially emotionless -- at least, to those who see her. She rarely feels anything more than a hint of an emotion and shows even less. She's tough and somewhat withdrawn and makes no attempt at socialization. If she thinks she needs you, she'll talk to you, but not much besides that.
Background: Mylnür was nine years old when her village was destroyed in a raid. She was found in the centre of the carnage by an elf, who took her away with him and trained her as a warrior. Having been taught by the elf that revenge is no motive, she resolved to go around to all the villages on her world, helping those who had been attacked by the raiders and preparing those who hadn't yet been, staying with them to help prevent it from ever happening again. She takes grim satisfaction in knowing no village was destroyed like hers was.

Name: Akito
Species: Human/Lion Hybrid
Age: 38
Sex: Male
Appearance: None yet, requesting that someone draw him. He has short white ish hair and light blue eyes. He is muscular and is barely seen without his armor and swords. He has larger than normal canines and sometimes sharp finger and toe nails but he usually keeps those in check.
History/Info: Akito was raised to be one of the best warriors in the world by a secret group called WAR. His parents were apparently murdered when he was a baby. The leader of WAR explained to him what happened and he felt sad but didn't think much of it since he never knew them. He left WAR sooner that was expected and set out to find who killed his parents. He met all sorts of people and even became friends with some of them.

Cool :3 I'll start us off.

----------------

Mylnür sat down in the back of the tavern. Someone came over and took her order before leaving.

She'd need a partner for this one, she was sure. The group of bandits had grown larger; there were more horses in the herd when Mylnür had snuck up on their camp to watch. The woman had known for a long time the bandits had caught on to what she was doing - perhaps they were hoping to squash her with numbers?

Mylnür's eyes scanned the bar. Maybe she could find someone here...

(Thanks ^^)

Akito had just finished fighting and eliminating a raging and insane werewolf. He did not like killing but death was a much better fate for the poor creature. He placed his sword back in the holder that he wore on his back, since it was too large for a sheath. He wiped his forehead and started walking. A little ways off was a small tavern and he severely needed nourishment. He was low on money but he believed he had enough to buy some food.

He approached the small tavern and thought about leaving his sword out here; it could possibly frighten someone. He shook his head and decided to take it with him, so no one was able to steal it. He opened the door and stepped in cautiously, just in case there was an attack of some sort. Akito learned to expect the unexpected and so he was so cautious it was almost considered paranoia.

When he was sure no one would attack him, he shut the door behind him and walked up to the bar. No one really paid him any attention, which was a relief. He pulled out and counted his money, noticing that he only had enough for a loaf of bread and a cheap drink. He figured that would do so he ordered them and turned around to observe the customers while he was waiting. He noticed a few men drinking and smoking and rambling on about nonsense. Then he noticed a girl in the back, looking around just like him. It seemed that she was the only girl in the tavern, other than the waitress. He caught her eye and smiled politely.

(Aww. My werewolf characters are sad at your comment :( And by the way, sheaths are specially made for the sword that holds them, so the "holder" would be a sheath anyway.)

Mylnür nodded curtly in return. She took a sip of her drink, thinking. Judging by the sword he wore, the man was certainly a warrior. Perhaps he could be useful to her.

(I'm sorry, it just came to mind D: At least he's in a better place instead of being all in pain? :D Oh alright, I never knew what it was called lol The only really big swords I know of are Ichigo and Dante's XD so thanks! :D )

Akito turned back around and started getting antsy. Finally, the food and drink he ordered was ready. Just then, he realized how hungry he actually was. He couldn't stop himself from eating the bread so fast that he was practically inhaling it. 'Man, I wish I had more money. I'm still starving!' he thought after he had finished eating. He smiled at the man who gave him the food, who was just staring at him with a look of disgust and amazement. "You musta been really hungry, young man. You looked like you hadn't eaten in weeks!" Akito chuckled and nodded, "I ran out of food a few days ago while traveling. I was finishing a job so that I could get more money and then I found this place." He sighed, happy that he was full and ready to head back to the person who had hired him to kill the werewolf.

(Well, my werewolves aren't in pain, so...Anyway, it was never a specified part of the werewolf myth they were in pain, so he might have killed needlessly a perfectly happy creature.)

Mylnür stood up at that point and walked over to the man. 'If you're still hungry, sir, I could offer you a plate,' she said.

(He was insane and raging so he was suffering or else my character wouldn't have killed him. He's a decent guy.)

Staring at the woman suspiciously, he contemplated taking up on her offer. He was still hungry but didn't want to cause the woman any trouble. "That would be wonderful, but what's in it for you?"

(Makes sense. *nod*)

'You'll find out when we're eating,' Mylnür said. She looked at the server. 'Some of the stew for him, please, at my table.'

(^^ I'm eager to see how all this turns out.)

Akito blinked and shrugged, "Alright, 'least I get some food out of it. He stood up and walked over to the table he saw her sitting at earlier. While walking, his sword accidentally hit one of the men in the head. Luckily for Akito, the man was too drunk to care and just mumbled something about 'watching where he was going.' When he reached the table, he sat down and waited for the woman to tell him what this was all about.

(Yup, me too ^^)

Mylnür waited until the server had put down a plate of stew in front of her guest, then spoke when he was out of ear shot. 'My name is Mylnür. I need your help.'

(Sorry for the mistakes, I lose my brain sometimes :sweat: )

He picked up the stew and gulped it down, right from the plate. "Alright, Mylnur, what is it that you need my help on?" He looked at her curiously, hoping this was a job that paid money. He was completely broke.

'There's a team of bandits that roam the country,' Mylnür said. 'They go in a predictable pattern. I've been fighting against them for years, going from town to town and helping to raise an army before they get there. Recently, they've added to their number. I'm going to need help subduing them.'

Akito nodded as she talked, "I see. May I ask what reason you have for fighting them?" He wanted to know if he was getting into anything that he shouldn't be. He would most likely help the woman, he hated refusing people but he had to know at least some of her background first.

'They wiped out my entire village when I was nine years old,' Mylnür said, betraying no more emotion than she would talking about the weather. 'An elf picked me up after that and trained me until I was old enough to go after them on my own.'

Akito looked down and decided that he would help her. "I'm sorry to hear about that. I'll do whatever I can to help you." He looked up at her with determination in his eyes.

Mylnür nodded. 'I'm Mylnür,' she said.
