Hair Color: Dark Brown
Eye Color: Hazel

*Occupation: Shaman; many different functions such as; healing, spirit guide, archer, fortune telling, storytelling/song/dance. It all depends on the person who is in the position of Shaman. Healing skills are above average with herbs, plants, but below average with healing with her hands. Her spirit guide techniques are normal as it would be with any Shaman, there are no levels when it comes to guiding spirits to the afterlife. She, at the moment, does not have any fortune telling abilities. She is amazing at singing, and dancing, and would be the singer in her village when the stories were being told.

*Personality: Shy, quiet, eloquent, honest, courtesy, responsible, compatible, loyal, compassionate, patient, indecisive, clumsy, fiery. When in contact with people she tends to be a bit reserved, and weary of newcomers. Yet because of the spirit (a demon woman that was brutally murdered by her one true love) within her she has a bit resentment toward men, and has yet to let anyone get close to her. When in contact with any animal she is kind hearted, and loving, especially with any of the canidae family. She thinks herself as average, and has resentment toward herself for letting such an evil thing overcome her and kill her loved ones.

Appearance: Dark brown hair that cascades fully a bit past the shoulders, but most of the time is in tiny braids around her head, when braided has eagle feathers tied in. Hazel eyes that are a big opened shape, normally a dark brown or dark green, change to a dark purple/gray when the spirit within her is activated. Has porcelain skin, pale/grey, rosy, pink, cheeks. Pointed ears usually hidden behind her hair. Longer, cat shaped nose, and full, red, lips. Elongated, slim, neck leading to narrow shoulders. Normal height, tiny built frame, long legs. Always sharpened nails painted black. Has a tattoo of two entwining circles with three triangle shaped dots above, and below the circles on the nape of the neck-letting people know that how many people she had killed in her tribe. Normally wears a dark green, long sleeved, shirt with a red neckline, and golden embroidering, short dark brown gloves, dark brown leggings with light green skirt to knees, also has gold embroidering, golden triangle shaped belt plate, dark brown, worn out, boots up to the calves. Wears brown cape most of the time that has a gold circled brooch tying it together.

History: Stormy was born into a small tribe in the forest. She was to become a Shaman like her mother, and grandmother before her, but only after the vision quest of finding herself. This is where a young person before their sixteenth year goes out on a year long adventure to find their spirit companion animal, and find out which skills they will have, and need as a shaman. After she returned back from her quest, she received her spirit guide, and companion; the gray wolf. She was give the middle names of Canidae-Lupus from the Shaman leader in her village to represent her familiar. She trained for two years learning all there was to know about being a shaman(healing techniques, archery, spirit transitions, singing/dancing, etc.) When the time came for the initiation of her ceremony to transition into becoming a great Shaman leader, a terrible tragedy was bestowed on the village. An evil spirit had taken over Stormy, and her mind making her act as the spirit. The Shaman leader in the tribe managed to seal the spirit demon away inside of her heart, but many people in her village, including the Shaman were killed. Due to that, Stormy was banished forever from her home and family. So she now travels with her wolf looking for a new home.

Skills: Archery- Able to make, and use a crossbow, if needed. Her use with the crossbow is average with using it, and above average in making them. She can shoot non moving objects fairly well, but has problems with fast moving objects.

Healing- Shamans get a special healing ability when they go through their ceremony. For Stormy, she is able to heal through her hands. If the cure is working when she has her hands on or above the sick person a heated sensation will overcome their body. Must be used very rarely, and for extreme wounds only or the person using the technique will have their life energy drained half.

Herbs- Able to name many different plants off the top of her head, as well as describe what they do. She can prepare many healing herbs to cure different ailments, wounds, and sicknesses. Is above average with herbs, as she worked the most on this in her village. Also can cook fairly well using certain plants.

Spirit Guiding- This is helping the dead seek the afterlife through dance, song, ceremony, or any other means that can be thought of. There tends not to be any rank among spirit guiding as all Shamans do the same thing in helping the dead. Along with this is the ability to speak to animals. Most times a spirit of a dead human will seek refuage in an animal of any sort. This is where the shaman needs to be connected with an animal, and be able to guide the spirit from the animal in question, to the outside, then to the afterlife.

Singing/dancing- Can sing, and dance very well-is a well known tradition from her village as elders told stories. When the stories were being told, Stormy was known as the singer, and interpretive dancer for the whole village. Her voice is soft spoken, soothing, and relaxing to many that hear. Her dancing is elegant, and flows like the wind.

The spirit in her heart- On very rare occasions when Stormy comes in contact with certain emotions such as, anger, hate, or bitterness the spirit that had been locked in her heard will partially take over her personality. When this happens she gains the abilities of the spirit. The spirit inside of Story was murdered by her true love, and is able to summon shadow spirits-which are the spirits of the dead that hide within trees, rocks, plants, etc. They can not really do any harm unless a person allows them into their mind, which does not happen offten. They tend to be like a bully, and try scaring people. The spirit has an ability to charm men, but only soon after to kill them for revenge. This entity does not have any real huge power that can do to much harm after being locked away in Stormy's heart. Only if the spirit was to escape or be let out of her heart, then would real trouble begin.

Equipment: All that she carries with her is her crossbow, two changes of clothing, and a few of her herbs from the village.

*Familiars: Has a male wolf companion named Apex.

Appearance- Is a grey wolf with eighty percent of it's body being grey, and the rest being white. Eyes are a deep, and dark blue with a scar over the left eye. Has white tipped ears, and white tiped, fluffy tail. Is always wearing a necklace of eagle feathers wrapped around his neck as a colar.

Personality- Has a short temper for people who mess with his master, very protective, but caring, and weary of new people. Every familar that is bonded with their master, the Shaman, has a spirit within them that has not transfered over to the after life. When the time has come that the shaman retires, dies, or renounces their field of practice, then the spirit within the animal is able to cross over to the after life. The spirit within Apex was a great, and powerful Prince who was assasinated by his power hungry brother in law.

Skills- Healing- Can only use healing techniques sparingly as is drains him very soon after. Skills in this area are the same average as Stormy's.

Transform- Is also able to transform into his masters body, and help her be cunning, quick, swift, good with agility, and hearing. Two minute or less time transform.

Hi there, I'm the mod in charge of going over your profile with you and asking you to make any changes which will help you integrate into Althanas. ^^

Skills - I need you to separate the skills instead of leaving them clumbed into one paragraph.

Archery - Stormy is relatively good when it comes to archery, she can shoot still targets but has a much harder time with those move... etc. Average.

Healing -

Herbs -

Spirit Guide...etc.

It'll just make it look more organized and help people find the information they need in a quick glance.

Familiars - I want you to give Apex a description like you did for Stormy and also list all of his skills.

Once you make those changes, post here again and I'll take another look.

All right, just one more small change. Can you put a two minute time limit on Apex's Tramsform ability?

Once you do that, you should be good to go. ^^
