Falcon Darkflight

I'm looking for two members to help me start off the story of Bane Flaresto, having finally put my beloved 8 year Canen Darkflight to a sad end.
Here's a quick summary of what is happening:
Bane Flaresto, a.k.a Bannon, is a Captain of the fleet of a state known as Sol Deus, a colony of humans living on Mannion Island south of Corone. The people of Sol Deus are mostly peace loving but fiercly private, and have poured a vast amount of wealth into their navy, which is their primary source of defense.
Bane Flaresto, once a simple dockyard engineer with a regular paycheck and a family, was selected to partake in a government experiment known as the "Basillisk Project". This involved the Sol Deus scientists, who had been researching magical fusion for years, attempting to bind a regular human being with a single elemental property, strengthening both their magical and their spiritual abilities. However, a flaw in the process meant that most of the alpha subjects had their sanity shattered during the experiments, and were confined to the Mannion Island caverns in the mountains. Most of the alpha's mutated into mere beasts during this time, and as more and more reported attacks on the Sol Deus port town were reported, the government became more and more desperate to cover their tracks.
Bane was a Basillisk, an “original”, a living weapon fused with an elemental property, created by his government to hunt down and destroy the first prototype Basillisks who were technically obsolete due to constant malfunction. The alpha’s, the first of the Basillisks, had gone berserk and attacked and killed many of the citizens of Sol Deus. The government under their leader, Kefziel Ouroboros, created a new and improved set of Basillisks to resolve this issue, and ordered they be destroyed as soon as their mission was accomplished.
Bane, without knowledge of his planned fate, of course did as he was commanded. With no restraint, he murdered hundreds of alpha class Basillisks without as much as a single care. But one day, chasing the last alpha, he discovered something horrifying. Something sickening and it made him think twice about everything he stood for. Levia, an old flame of the human Bane, had been kidnapped and against her will transformed into an alpha class Basillisk. Not only an alpha class, but a working one, a fully functioning bio weapon.
He could not kill her. He would not kill her, but, as he peered into her sad eyes as his sword hand and his iron resolve wavered, he knew she could never be the same again, and it was all the state’s fault. Bane had killed so many people like her, he realized, and each one had a life, a love and probably a family as well. They may have been flawed but they, the ones with control who had been innocent, deserved everything he had too, and so, filled with hatred and disgust for the people he had served without question all this time, Bane spared her life and decided to flee the island, stealing the Stormbreaker to sail to Corone.
Other Basillisks were in production at this time, and Kefziel was presented with a problem. If Bane left, their mistakes would become public knowledge, and there would be an uprising. There was also the possibility that Bane would fall into the hands of those that could carbon copy the Basillisk project. This would be a major problem. And so, with the Basillisks at his disposal, he sent them to hunt and destroy Bane and his crew...
