Everyone has heard of the tale of King Arthur's knights and his quest to keep all safe from the evil of this world, but what many don't know is that the knights were no mere mortals. No, they do not age, they do not get sick, and they are far from human. The knights are the monsters that villagers spoke of in old wives tales. The werewolf, the vampire, the witch, the gargoyle, the siren. Arthur's knights with his trusty sword Excalibur kept the people safe and in exchange were forced into secrecy, but now in the modern years the knights have come out of hiding. In a mere two years they've become beloved protectors of the world from all rogue creatures that go bump in the night. Along with the Knights reveal they have also created an orphanage for orphaned non-humans that were allowed to be exposed. Sadly, not all humans took kindly to this and attacked several non-human day species. But that is only a small problem compared to the more recent issue of the knights: Wolf, the werewolf knight went rogue and the investigators of the Knight of the Roundtable have informed them that he is gathering an army. The knights must train the new recruits quickly and choose their successors soon before it is too late and the army becomes too large for the knights to handle.
~Training~
The knights usually choose children between the ages of 15-18 as new recruits though it isn't uncommon to choose younger or older recruits either. Each knight chooses three children they deem worthy of competing for becoming a knight and from there the trainer, Excalibur, begins to put them through tests until only five remain whether there are two from werewolf or three from siren the knight who recommended them does not matter. From there Arthur will choose which knight they will become the heir/heiress to should something happen to them.

With a slightly muscular build he isn't all that intimidating and he brandishes a love for spiky things on a regular basis in the form of wrist bands, collar, earrings, ect.
Personality: Alex is pretty chill for the most part, but has a nazism mindset that werewolves are the pure race and the rest are accidents. However, because he pities them he decided to become a knight instead. Cocky, but sweet despite his ego and paradigm the werewolf is not all that bad of a kid.
History: Both of his parents were children at Arthur's Castle and both failed the recruitment program. Both werewolves and raised their son on the same principles teaching him about their tests and raising him on the belief that he was to become the next Wolf.

Desired Mythological Creature: Werewolf
Gender: Female
Age: 25
Description:Ocean blue hair, blue eyes, pale skin, and wears blue and white. Aria is 5' even and of light build with a very curvy body. She dresses in clothes made for the desert seeing as the people who make them seem to make them out of material that doesn't make her itch.
Personality:Aria is soft spoken much like the knight who recommended her, but is as cold as Arthur and as calculating as Stone. She prefers to be your friend, but won't hesitate if you decide otherwise. Bubbly and touchy this siren is not among her more shy brethren and likes to use fish puns.

Name: Berri Aquamarine
Race: Human
Desired Mythological Creature: Siren
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Description: Red hair, purple eyes, white skin, wears red and black. 5'5" and of slight build with little curves. She does not like shoes very much, but wears them if they have butterflies on them.
Personality: Shy and sweet you wouldn't expect this young woman to be related to any killers, but you'd be wrong. Her personality changes when in combat becoming bloodthirsty and wearing a malicious grin with psychotic eyes.
History: Berri comes from the bloodline of the previous Arthur and of the Italian mafia. She speaks little of it, but most of her childhood was bloodshed and being brought to see torture or to buy things with threats rather than money.
Other:Berri looked up to Wolf. Cat recommended her.

Name: Ballad Eau
Race: Wood Nymph
Desired Mythological Creature: Siren
Gender: Female
Age: 26
Description: Green hair, white eyes, pale skin, and wears mostly black Victorian age clothing. She is 6' even and weighs 350 lbs. which is very light for nymphs. She is of slender build and is blessed with a magnificent hourglass figure. Sometimes, if she gets really happy flower will bloom in her hair and if she gets very angry branches will grow from it instead. She can also turn into an oak tree.
Personality: Ballad's personality likes to flip back and forth between very angry and very happy though if she can find a balance assertive friendliness does the trick. Ballad becomes stronger in terms of fighting when she is sad, but to get her down takes quite a bit.
History: Ballad was a wood nymph without much of a purpose and not much of a home wandering the streets and scrounging whatever food she could get. Ms. Eau was an orphan for a long time and by the time the Knights had found her she was too old to be taken into the orphanage, but Fang took her in and hired her to help her with gardening. So Ballad Eau became a gardener and played with siren children while sometimes sitting and getting her hair brushed and branches pruned by Fang.
Other:Fang recommended her.
Name: Bane Wasser
Race: Vampire
Desired Mythological Creature: Siren
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Description: Black hair, gray eyes, ceramic pale skin, wears a lot of red and gray scale clothes. He's 6'4" making doorways a bit difficult for him. He has a young look to him seeing as he was turned at 18 and was on his way to being a star in basketball. His build is slight, but he makes up for that in agility as most vampires do.
Personality: Bane is a playboy in every way when it comes to the girls and only gets romantically involved with men. He makes that very clear as he will take any chance he can get to get in a guy's pants though will go after women if spurned. Besides the need for sexual interaction he's friendly and sweet and a great bartender.
History: Bane was born and raised outside of Arthur's jurisdiction and was found by Stone when he was working at a bar where many vampires tended to reside. He ended up becoming one of Stone's informants for a long time and one day the gargoyle came in and asked him if he was interested in becoming a Knight of the Roundtable. Being bored with his life the vampire agreed leaving in a fist fight with just about every customer there Stone by his side. Oh, did I mention the bar was for feral vampires?
Other: Stone recommended him.
Name: Diana Pearl
Race: Human
Desired Mythological Creature: Stone
Gender: Female
Age: 22
Description: Shoulder length black hair, piercing blue eyes, white skin, wears black and silver. She is 5' 8" and weighs 107 lbs. Body carrying curves that would have landed her at a strip club is she had wanted.
Personality: Cold and calculating are two words that describe Diana perfectly, but there is one thing you wouldn't expect: she can't stand the sight of blood. Seeing it makes her vision go dark and her body freeze up. She becomes weak and frightened so how did she get recommended? She does combat in such a way where she never has to see blood. Sweet and charming if you get to know her this gunslinger is the nicest person you'll have as a friend and the most terrifying woman to have as an enemy besides Excalibur.
History: Diana's history is a mystery, but Song found her tied up and chained on a sinking ship of human traffickers. She fought off three feral sirens for a pretty good time before Song saved her.
Other: Song recommended her.
Name: Cezar Magicka
Race: Demon
Desired Mythological Creature: Witch
Gender: Male
Age: 1,500
Description: Brown hair, gold and brown eyes, white skin, wears brown and warm colors. He is 5' 7" and weighs 230 lbs. Built like an ox he does not look like someone you want to mess with.
Personality: Kind and mostly chill Cezar is not your average demon of mischief choosing to grow flowers instead of torment souls. However, don't think he's friendly because he's not even close. He would rather throw you into a brick wall than talk to you and if he does have to talk to someone it's in monologue.
History: As an outcast Cezar didn't really have a place to call home among demons or angels both in Hell and on Earth. In fact, he didn't have a goal in life much at all and spent most of his time wandering about and watching plants grow. He occasionally ate, of course, but usually souls that were going to Hell anyways. The killings caught the Knights' eye though and he was soon hunted down by Fang who found him lazily watching a rose sprouting begin to push out its petals. She took him in, taught him how to harvest already dead souls, and how to garden. Purpose was given to his life so in exchange he decided to become a knight.
Other: Recommended by Fang.

~Knights~
The leader of the Knights, Arthur is the name given to one who has been a knight for at least 5,000 years. The current Arthur was once Song and is a siren. What he says is law whether the knights agree or not, but that doesn't mean he doesn't ask for their opinions. Arthur is also in charge of choosing the heir/heiress of each knight when the time comes. He is stern, but caring. Cold, yet father-like. If he is not helping with tests for the recruits or doing paperwork he is at the orphanage with the children. The old man cares deeply for those who enter his gates and come to belong, but that doesn't mean he's going to hesitate to kill you if he even suspects you've chosen a darker path. Arthur is replaced when the current one dies.
Right hand of Arthur, Excalibur. Excalibur's job is to be the adviser of Arthur, train the recruits, gather information using their spies, get new weaponry, and keep the knights as safe as possible. The Sword is chosen by the King and has to have been a knight for over 2,000 years. The current Excalibur use to be Cat and is a witch. She is nearly the opposite of Arthur and seems very friendly, but is in fact quite cruel and seemingly heartless. However, she does share that same affection for those who walk through their doors and is much less willing to kill them unless there is solid proof.
Wolf (werewolf): N/A
Song (siren): [img width=510 height=344]http://images6.fanpop.com/imag…123-33765554-1037-700.jpg[/img]
Song is 3,000 years old and became a knight at 25. She is sweet and speaks softly. She likes to bake and loves being around children. Her specialty is the bow and she hunts mostly feral sirens, water dragons, and spirits who died at sea. She was Wolf's wife.
Cat (witch): [img width=510 height=497]https://lh4.googleusercontent.…by_envysmercy-d4jbj5j.png[/img]
Cat is 500 years old and became a knight at 7. She is the youngest to be turned in the history of knights and was born a werewolf before her change into a knight. She still has a very child-like state, but don't let that fool you because she is the most ruthless killer out of all the knights. She likes to hunt and play with the kids at the orphanage. Her specialty is daggers/swords and hunts mostly undead, feral vampires, rogue wolves, and witches practicing forbidden magic. Wolf was like a big brother to her.
Stone (gargoyle): [img width=452 height=510]http://i245.photobucket.com/al…irl625/Evil-Anime-Guy.jpg[/img]
Stone is 20,000 years old and became a knight at 17. He is the eldest knight and is a natural playboy though he is very honest in his feelings and claims 'to be in love' with all people. When it comes to killing he is calculated and indifferent on the matter. It all depends on the pros and cons. His specialty is guns and does not have a specific specialty in hunting. He recommended Wolf himself and they were close before they became knights.
Fang (vampire): [img width=391 height=510]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pini…a2a1a2125d3ea57355c7a.jpg[/img]
Fang is 3,500 years old and became a knight at fifteen. She is impassive and her voice is almost always in a monologue. She offers hugs regularly and likes to be around Stone and Cat. She also likes gardening. Fang's specialty is ballistics and she hunts anything that begins to group too much. Wolf adopted Fang before she became a knight and also recommended her.
Wolf (werewolf):will get a silver or white sheen to their skin and have the ability to produce wolf ears and tail that match their hair color and go full wolf making them a very large wolf. Nails become talons and shoes will be nearly impossible to wear unless they're not toe-closed. The further they go into wolf form the stronger their abilities get. Wolf has the best hearing and smell and can see third best at night. Their sight will be sharper in the day, but how far they can see will be reduced. On full moons werewolves will be at their strongest and they will have slight aggression/simulation issues in spring. Ahem. They eat mostly meat.
Song (siren):will grow small gills on their neck along with webbing between their fingers and toes. When submerged in water they will grow a fin on their back that act both to cut through water and flesh along with film to cover their ears. Sirens' voices become much more intriguing and charismatic to make it difficult to pull away. They also have the ability to scream at a frequency that can kill their opponents...along with anyone else in the vicinity. Siren has the best swimming ability and second best sight in and fourth best in night unless underwater in which their sight becomes unrivaled. Sirens also have a tendency to find clothes unsparingly itchy and will find any chance to strip or will have clothes made from animal skins like snakes or sea life. They eat mostly fish.
Cat (witch):will begin to have glowing eyes. Witches have the ability to cast magic, but it is limited to the will of others. So they cannot kill with magic, but they can produce items and such to kill their target. However, the more difficult the spell the more it costs the witch. So trying to take a life with magic can end the witch's and trying to create a weapon rather than summon one from a place they know where it is can cost them a limb. Witches have the second best eyesight at night and best sight in day and worst at night. They have second best hearing and third best smell. They eat mostly regular food.
Stone (gargoyle): will grow a rougher appearance in sharper edges around their bones and grow fangs that they can retract past their lips, but can't make go away. Gargoyles can grow stone or metal skin and can choose any they want including diamond and such. They also have giant wings and an insatiable appetite for just about anything with darkness in their hearts. Stone has best sight in night and worst sight in day. They are the only knight to be able to fly on their own. They most eat dark spirits.
Fang (vampire):will grow a very pale complexion and their eyes will darken to the darkest shade of their eye color. Vampires have super speed and an almost non-existent energy to the living and are pretty unnoticeable to the dead/undead. They have the second best eyesight at night and second best eyesight in day. Their sense of smell is second best and they are the second best swimmer. The vampire's hearing is pretty low amongst the knights. They have the toughest time resisting their urges and lose their fangs on full moons. They mostly feed on blood in general.

Wolf the Black Knight
Wolf is 20,000 years old and became rogue about 5,000 years ago. He didn't go public rogue until they went public. The Commonfolk do not he's rogue. He has been gathering an army and occasionally sends them to kill Commonfolk or Spies for the Knights of the Roundtable. There has been proof that Wolf personally killed the previous Arthur and Excalibur. He is highly dangerous and has come back to Arthur's Castle twice kidnapping a child from the orphanage each time.
Feral Wolf:
[img width=469 height=510]https://lh3.googleusercontent.…nime-35558614-500-543.jpg[/img]
These werewolves have lost their ability to turn human and most of their human attributes as well. Those in the Black Knight's army are trained more as war hounds than actual soldiers and are trained as such. Feral werewolves sleep through most of the day and hunt every night usually only taking one victim, but leaving nothing to trace them by except a gory mess.
Feral Siren:
These sirens sing to convince others to go underwater where they drown and eat them. If they can't do that then they will scream until they die and fall in or crash their ships. These sirens can no longer go on land and act as the Black Knight's navy.
Feral Witch:
[img width=510 height=286]http://images6.fanpop.com/imag…nga-35862378-1280-720.jpg[/img]
These witches are bloodthirsty psychos who have been taken over by the magic they use in exchange for not dying. They love to torture others and use forbidden arts such as necromancy, curses, ect. They are information gatherers in the Black Knight's army.
Feral Gargoyle:
[img width=510 height=286]http://animeyume.com/blog_images_14/halloween_14_main.jpg[/img]
These gargoyles can no longer hide their fangs and wear face masks of some sort to hide them. Their skin is forever stuck in a stone or metal they used before they went feral. They have a constant supply of souls, whether they are corrupted or not, to feed on. They are the main soldiers of the Black Knight's army.
Feral Vampire:
[img width=510 height=286]http://images6.fanpop.com/imag…nga-35862334-1280-720.jpg[/img]
These vampire give in to their need for blood every night and kill multiple victims in their wake. Due to their large consumption of blood they cannot go into sunlight without boiling themselves by doing so. They are the assassins of the Black Knight's army.
Evil Spirit/Ghoul/Grudge:
These spirits have either been in the world of the living so long that the sin around them has corrupted their core, have possessed a human and become a ghoul, or have unfinished business and have become a grudge. Not all are lethal or dangerous, but most are and whatever they are stuck here for they all have unfinished business and all they care about is finishing it. However, the longer they stay the more they forget until they forget who they were in the first place and nothing will help them remember. They are the main food source in the Black Knight's army.
Undead:
[img width=510 height=503]http://moarpowah.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/zombies.jpg[/img]
Failed attempts at necromancy or possessions zombies are the least lethal creature to worry about. Most of the time humans can take care of them themselves, but in hordes they are a large problem and the Knights must step in. They are bait or food in the Black Knight's army.
