Name: Kyle David Night Name Meaning: Kyle - From a Scottish surname which was derived from Gaelic caol meaning "narrows, channel, strait". David - Possibly derived from Hebrew meaning "beloved". Night - Meaning the period of darkness between sunset and sunrise. Chinese Name: Huo Shou Name Meaning: Huo - Means simply, Fire. Shou - One of many popular variations of the ubiquitous Shou or chou, a Chinese ideogram of ancient origin meaning "long life." Gender: Male Birth place: Scotland, United Kingdom Nationality: British / Chinese Birth date: 10/05/1982 Zodiac Symbol: Taurus Chinese Zodiac: Dog Age: 25 Apparent Age: Early twenties Age Turned: 19-20 Class: Elementalist Position: Aspirant Element: Fire Species: Vampire Sire: Michael James Night -deceased- Adopted Sire: Florain Status: Third-generation Vampire House: Clan: None City Name: KyleNight Blood Rank: Local Legend Power Status: 8 Powers:* Second-sight * Surprise * Perception * Celerity 1 * Stamina 1 * Shadows 1 * Thievery 1 * Charisma 1 Roleplaying Abilities:* Advanced physical strength. Before he was turned, Kyle was passionate about becoming physically powerful and partook in weight training on almost a daily basis. After the siring, his strength increased also, making him that much more powerful again. * Advanced physical defence. Due to his routine training before his siring, Kyle gained a healthy defence and stamina and such strength merely increased after siring. His pain threshold is fairly high, but it is his determination to see through the pain that provides 50% of his endurance. * Advanced senses. Having been born a strange breed, his senses have always been that much more acute than a regular human's. However, where his eye sight and sense of smell were particularly sensitive, his ability to hear, feel and taste were pretty much normal. With the siring, his senses are catching up to one another. * Advanced Judgement. With eyes to see souls, Kyle can pretty much gage the strength of his opponents as well as anyone within the surrounding area. Although, he is still getting used to this ability and with a bit of time and repitition, this ability can become very useful indeed. * Advanced agility. Having trained at the Traveller's Guild for the power of Celerity, Kyle's ability to move swifter and with ease has increased. However, since this ability is still new to him, he is rather clumbsy when moving at higher speeds. His reaction times are swift due to years of motorcycle riding experience, which leaves potential for further successful training in this Guild. * Martial Arts. Like any self-respecting, self-defending person, Kyle not only took up weight training in order to increase his capabilities, but also took training in a Chinese temple for Martial Arts. * Flame Manipulation. Passed down through the generations of Night family members comes the ability to wield flames with the power of one's will. Kyle comes from a long line of Fire Elementalists dating back to when magical abilities were granted to the few. It's unknown where these abilities came from or how they are able to conjure and manipulate fire, but it's clear that their powers are true. As an Aspirant of the Flame, Kyle can merely manipulate fire within the surrounding area to his will. * Fire Expansion. When under extreme pressure, Kyle can actually not only move the flames to where he wants them, but potentially expand them into giant balls of flaming fury. * Shadows. An unbreakable barrior forged from darkness, seperating him from the outside world and concealing his appearance. * Basic Thievery. As dexterous as he is cunning, the vampire can lift a few coins from his victims pocket's without their immediate recognition. Possessions:* Worldly items. He mainly carries all his worldly possessions in a duffel bag that he slings onto his shoulder. This mainly includes clothing and armour, identification and driving licence, a few scrolls, a single paper-back book with a worn cover and a small ebony box crafted in an Indian style that stores a stash of cash. Weaknesses:* Sunlight. Extreme exposure can turn a vampire to dust. * UV rays. Since it is the UV rays emitted from the sun that causes the damaging reaction, any form of UV ray can potentially harm a vampire. * Garlic. The chemical compounds found in garlic are known to thin the blood and because of this, it can become quite a dangerous tool against vampires. When it comes in contact to the skin, the oils inside the garlic create an irritating reaction that acts much like a burn. When digested the garlic can break down whatever it is in the blood that carries oxygen, so in a way they experience something similar to an asthma attack and feel as if their insides are burning. * Holy Water. Anything considered to be light or good and that is blessed can potentially damage a vampire. It is unknown whether this is a physical or psychological reaction, but in the case of Holy Water, it is a certainty that it does in fact cause a great amount of damage to Vampires. * Religious Effigies. Such things as crosses or any other religious symbol is also thought to ward off Vampires or even burn them. Again, it is unknown whether or not this is true or a physical or psychological reaction, but they have been known to make Vampire uncomfortable. * Water. It is believed that Vampires are unable to cross running water, much to the beliefs of many Christians who also thought the same about witches at one point. However, it is not because of his species that he is weakened by water, but because he is an Elementalist of the Flame. He is not harmed by water as such, but is grounded by it and it shorts out his abilities; much like any electrical appliance is shorted out when it gets wet. * Severe Physical Damage. Although Vampires are quite capable of healing many of the injuries to themselves, they are still quite vulnerable to severe extents of damage and especially to areas that are quite sensitive. Areas like the heart or a complete decapitation of the head have been known to kill Vampires.

Accent: Non-specific, a slight trace of a Scottish accent can be heard at times. Voice: His voice is deep and assertive, low in pitch yet normally high in volume depending upon his mood. Speech: Full of informalities and colloquial expressions, his speech is also quite vigorous as well as fluent. Height: 5'11" Weight: 212lbs Build: Generously muscled and excellently toned. His physical structure is above the average male's, yet despite this overwhelming physique, he manages to retain a rather youthful yet rugged appearance. Hair: A dark brown shade. Hair reaches to just above his shoulders, is thin and styled to have no parting. His fringe simply falls over his brow and is layered toward slim tips. He does occasionally use styling products to enhance this effect, but only on a bad day or when pulling his helmet off and on. Eyes: Vivid eyes of red. Eyes can glow as if ignited when angered, taking on a spherical form of flames. His eyes are treasured possessions and appear to be so piercing that they could search into one's soul. Complexion: His skin colour is a soft champagne shade. Many scars and tattoos are present primarily from his days of a youngster. Such things like performing in martial arts shows as well as gaining a few scars in petty fights. Tattoos: A tribal ring adorns the surrounding flesh of his left nipple, it is black in colour with many spiked edges, much like a ring of thorns. Hidden beneath his hair is the Chinese symbol for fire, it is black in colour and appears to have been branded onto the flesh of the back of his neck. Piercing: Kyle had his ear pierced at a young age, but occasionally wears a hoop of silver or platinum. He avoids wearing anything gold as it clashes with the colour of his skin. Casual Attire: Dresses in simple, yet stylish attire. Often wears dark or faded jeans, sometimes ripped or embroided with draconic designs. Trousers are always slackened and yet fitting, mainly for comfort and a bit of a fashionable flair. For foot wear, he may decide upon either trainers, boots or shoes, depending upon mood and situation. His upper body is normally draped in generally loose materials, ranging from shirts to vest tops, t-shirts to sweaters. Outer garments usually consist of black leather, hip length jackets. Formal Attire: Prefers clothing that doesn't feel uncomfortable or overly formal, and he hates having things constrict his neck. Ties and bowties are hardly ever worn, however, he does like to appear particularly well-off. The snob in him always wants the best and expensive suits are definately winners. Motorcycle Attire:Has two sets of Motorcycle clothing, one racing style to match his sports bike, the other more traditional to match his everyday bike. Set 1 is Sportsware, Set 2 is Traditional. * Helmet 1 Helmet 2* Jacket 1 Jacket 2* Gloves 1 Gloves 2* Boots 1 Boots 2Accessories:* Platinum Ring. Worn simply as an adornment, the platinum ring is worn on the middle finger of his right hand. * Silver Chain. Around his neck he wears a simple silver chain as an adornment. The chain makes a complete loop before leading for an extra length to descend opposite the clasp at the back. To here he can attach pendents if he chooses. Vehicles:* Honda CBR 1000 RR Fireblade 2008A 4 cylinder, liquid-cooled, four-stroke engine with a 998 cylinder capacity. Its maximum torque measures in at 115.1Nm at 8,500 rpm, making for a clever sportsbike that isn't just fast but has better stability and lighter, quicker handling. This fresh bike is mainly used for the sheer thrill of riding, but it is comfortable enough for daily usage. * Triumph BonnevilleA parallel-twin, four-stroke engine with a 865 cylinder capacity. It's maximum torque 69Nm / 51ft.lbf at 5,800rpm, allowing it adequate speed as well as great stability. 90% of peak torque is maintained from around 2500rpm through to redline providing smooth, effortless acceleration throughout the five gears. It is also comfortable and efficient for every day usage.

Personality: A determined young man, stubborn and stead-fast to his beliefs. Due to his troubled past, which is left to be unknown by his wish alone, he grew into a potentially independent individual. Matured with a lack of love and stability, predicaments were often faced with extreme fits of anger. His tolerance and trust in people remains to be quite low, and he generally believes that every stranger is some kind of enemy. It stands to reason that his paranoia may be the key to his lack of trust, yet perhaps this behaviour can be explained simply by the social learning theory in which one learns behaviour through a series of practise and reward. When a behaviour is positively reinforced, it is therefore learned and practised, however if a certain behaviour is negatively reinforced, it is often rejected. As a young boy, whenever he would place his trust in someone, he would often be betrayed, negatively reinforcing the trust, eventually teaching him to prevent his trust from ever being cast out again. Kyle does, however, slip up a few times, and although he can be betrayed, living with his family and friends across the globe has taught him that they can at least be depended upon. Though, that doesn't exactly make him much of a family man. Kyle knows that his safest living would be made on his own, and although he is not a coward whom runs from danger and risk, there are sometimes when he feels low enough to just take the easy route. There are times when his confidence lags, or he simply can't keep the tough guy act up, and at those times, he'll escape from everything he has and walk alone. Travelling alone with only his voice to keep him company seems to relax him quite a bit, and he enjoys being the independent type, in charge of his own destiny, in control. If he's by himself, there's no one else to blame for mistakes, no one to turn to but himself, no where to hide from himself. Alone, he has to accept what is what and that somehow brings him peace enough in his soul to return to duties and responsibilities. He does have a tendency to run away and live in a sense of denial, figuring it is better to just forget it all. However, with friends, it is hard for him to escape his past completely and although it usually comes back to bite him, he slowly learns to accept and move on. Kyle has another deep rooted habit, his fiery temperament. Having pent up so much rage in his past in an effort to control or subdue it, the fire just burns away at him, releasing sometimes in violent streams of verbal or physical abuse. Once angered, he has to learn to calm down or soon be consumed by the flames of wrath and become near enough unstoppable. His daily hostile attitude is cute in comparison to his black fury. Friends, family and loved ones are not safe as he would easily attack them without a batter of an eyelid should they step in his way. He normally has no goal, no focus for this rage, but generally relinquishes the pent up fury, allowing it to wash over and destroy whatever comes in contact till he simply runs out of steam. On a lighter note, he is extremely loyal and honourable. He has an incentive to righteousness that will often hold him back from horrid acts. This desire to being true and virtuous seems to keep him in check, but was initially motivated by the will to never become what he believed his step-father to be. It is as if he is in constant fear of the world around him, and especially, himself. Likes:* Travelling and Exploration * Stability * Being Attracted * Things Natural * Time to Ponder * Comfort and Pleasure * Luxury and money * Warm and inviting atmospheres * Being surrounded by like-minded people * Open minds and generosity Dislikes:* Disruption * Being pushed too hard * Synthetic or "man made" things * Being rushed * Being indoors * Pressure * Figures of false authority * Injustice * Stressful situations * Thinking on his feet * Being looked down upon * Intelligent people Personal Strengths:* Patient and reliable * Warm-hearted and loving * Persistent and determined * Placid and security loving * Loyal and obedient * Easy-going and generous * Forgiving and compassionate * Wilful and courageous Personal Weaknesses:* Jealous and possessive * Resentful and inflexible * Self-indulgent and greedy * Fiery and judgemental * Snobbish and critical * Controlling and aggressive Fears:* Great expanses of water * Insects of practically all shapes and forms * Phantoms, ghosts and spirits * Clinical environments * Personal failure * Loss of loved ones * Loss of self-control * Insanity Quirks:* Although he is not addicted to nicotine, he has been known to smoke a cigarette on occasion, especially in times of high tension. * If his time in Scotland taught him nothing else, it certainly taught him how to drink. He enjoys a whole range of alcoholic beverages from whisky to beer, vodka to wine. Sociability: He likes to make friends and socialise casually, but finds it hard to trust in people fully. He would love for the opportunity to care for others and tries his best to be as friendly as he can possibly muster. However, when he's had a bad day and things feel like they're all going wrong, it is probably best to leave him alone. Kyle has a terrible anger, but only holds grudges occasionally, depending on the circumstances. He is willing to forgive and forget some entreaties, but can draw the line and have done with individual people all together. In his past he has been known as a bit of a ladies' man and flirts lightly with any female he comes across. When he is in a relationship, however, he is 100% faithful and can't abide by infidelity. His paranoid mind and insecurity also makes him a rather controlling and jealous lover and anyone who pushes his buttons once he is already annoyed has to face a blinding wrath. He's not afraid to jump into fights, even if they are petty and pointless. He's also not afraid to disrespect any figure of authority or people that are more powerful than he is and often sees them as more of a challenge than a threat. In that respect, he has a sort of positive mind and even though he fights for petty things, he also fights with passion for the things he believes in and the people he cares about. Marital status: Single Sexual Orientation: Straight Turn ons:* He loves to look into beautiful eyes * Small, sexy outfts that show off a woman's figure * Women with real curves Turn offs:* Heavy make-up * Too much perfume * Too many tattoos and piercings * Girls that are too skinny * Girls that have no personality

The Djinn are said to be creatures with free will, made from 'smokeless fire' by God (the literal translation being “subtle fire”, i.e., a fire which does not give itself away through smoke), much in the same way humans were made of earth. The Djinn are believed to have communities much like human societies: they eat, marry, die, etc. They are believed to live in tribes that have boundaries, to follow religions as humans do, and follow the same ranks in armies as humans do. Because they are mass-less and can be fit into any space, some believe Djinns can settle into any location, from a vast area (like a Universe), to a tiny hole, (like a lamp). It is believed that they are invisible to humans, but that they can see humans. Some believe that they occasionally, accidentally or deliberately, come into view or into contact with humans. Djinn are believed to live much longer than humans. It is also thought that Djinn can take on the form of humans and animals or if creative enough, anything they imagine. It is said that humans who perform black magic are able to summon Djinn to do their dirty deeds for them. However, it is known that some Djinn can be summoned for the service of good as well. Classes of JinnIn the West, Jinn are conventionally classified as follows: (from high to low) Marid: The marid are the fewest in number among the jinn, and the strongest. It is said that a marid was the first jinn, and his brothers began the other tribes. Marid are solitary beings, and often live near the coast. They are masters of the weather, and sailors are careful not to anger these jinn. They can be seen to travel across water as a waterspout and have been known to wreck ships with the wind and waves they can cause. A marid may appear as a wise old man or a porpoise, or a horse, leading travellers to wise courses. Ifrit: These highly intelligent jinn are among the most numerous. They have a quite evil temper. Their main homes are in abandoned or desolate places. Iblis is their great leader. They may appear as a soldier, or a great dog. The afreet often move across land as a great tornado of dust, or on magical camels made of sand and evil magic. They may also strike as giant serpents or scorpions spitting fire. Shaitan (Sheitan): These are the longest lived of all the jinn. Their home is in the mountains where even the rock and water are hot. They are masters of deception, and can disappear in a cloud of smoke, travelling on clouds of hot air from place to place. They are well known for their pride, and are known to have human worshipers and slaves. The Sheitan are also the most adept at manipulating the pride of man to turn him away from his fate. These evil jinn often appear as beautiful women, but will of course retain some part of an animal's form on their body. They often appear as smoke or a jackal, and will use disease as a weapon in many instances. They are often seen as or riding black camels. Ghoul (Ghillan, Ghul): The name means "to seize". The Ghillan are the most depraved of the jinn. The Ghillan stalk the trackless wastes of the desert and prey upon the living and the dead. They may only eat what they have killed or what dead creature has not had the name of a protective deity spoken over it. They are very intelligent, but can behave as animals when in a crazed lust for food. They are very superstitious and consider their hospitality to be inviolable. If offered salt, they will not attack the individual who offered the salt, or his household. The Ghillan often appear as pilgrims and join caravans, then fall upon their hosts if they are not treated with due hospitality. They will also openly attack individuals or small groups. Many Ghillan seek out grave sites, and will devour the newly dead or retrieve them for evil wizards or other diabolical masters. They can change into vultures, and follow their mundane cousins to battle fields and dying travellers. Their alternative forms always have asses' hooves The only way to kill Ghillan is to strike them with a single blow, since striking them twice will invest within them new life. Jann (Djann): The most individualistic of the jinn. They consider an oasis as perhaps the most beautiful place that exists. Caravans suffered or prospered at their hands, for it is said they could hide an oasis from those who had previously mistreated them or shown disrespect. Jann can take the form of a camel, generally white, and travel slowly between oasis under their control. They occasionally will disappear in a cyclone of sand. Jann will only rarely be found in cities, though many are said to have palaces at their favourite oasis. They often appear as a whirlwind of sand, or as a soldier in order to conceal themselves. In addition to these classes, there is also: Qareen: according to Islamic literature, these are evil spirits, analogous to a personal demon, intent on tricking people into acts of sin. Name: Jyotiprakash Name meaning: Splendour of the Flame Nickname: Josh Gender: Male Species: Djinn Class: Shaitan Element: Fire IGN: djinn Powers: 11 Abilities:* Can not be seen or heard by people. Only those that are able to see and communicate with spirits are able to see and communicate with him. Unless, however, he chooses to be made known to the general public or specific individuals. * As a spirit, he can make his body solid and gaseous at will. Meaning, he can phase through objects as well as be able to have a physical effect on the world. * Is lightning fast as if residing within another world entirely, unaffected by time, and can fade in and out of existence at will. * As well as being able to defy time, Djinn can defy gravity as well and potentially float. This ability to float can be extended into practical flight. * They can change their shape at will becoming anything they desire or imagine, even human. * Djinn are well known for their thievery. * They have been known to deceive and manipulate people into sin. * Fire manipulation. Can manipulate already existing flames to do his bidding. * Fire conjure. Can conjure fire at will as well as manipulate its potency. * Kindle. Can work to increase the abilities and power of others, especially those that are aligned to the fire element. Weaknesses:* Religious effigies. They are considered malevolent spirits and are repelled by all manner of holiness. They can be exorcised by Priests and Prophets and have no power or place within houses of God. * Innocence. The innocent are protected by the angels of God, rendering them safe from the Djinn's malevolence. * Within a physical form, he can be weakened by physical attacks as well as forms of light magic. Height: 1'6" Weight: 28 lbs Hide: Bright orange with yellow belly and chin. His hide is tough and leathery. Eyes: Big orbs of blue allowing for a great range of sight. Appearance: Although the Djinn can change his form to suit whatever he desires, his default form is of a small mythical creature of which he liked the appearance of, taken from a well known video game. Personality: The spirit is a prankster at heart and although generally good natured, has a flair for getting into trouble, making bad situations worse and randomly insulting people. Despite being immortal, he is a skittish Djinn and does as he pleases until threatened, to which he responds by vanishing from sight. He hates to fight and when the people he haunts get into trouble, he often flees. Jyotiprakash has the ability to assist humans and other creatures and has the added bonus of not being weakened by many things, but still prefers to depart from this world at any sign of danger. Selfish and greedy, his free will has gained him many bad habits that he is reluctant to change. He enjoys his individualism and discriminates liberally against anything he considers obstructing, like women, children and responsibilities. Although his humour isn’t appreciated by all, he finds that the best jokes are made at other people’s expense and can become very childish in doing so, as well as very relentless. In fact, he has only been known to stop when he turns his attention onto another poor soul or is caught in the act, threatened and then departs.
