Fire, Earth, Air and Water

*reserves*

Thanks :3

EDIT:

Name: Istàr-Enhtes (Pronounced Istargh Entheth) (Prefers to be called only Istar)

Element: Air

Appearance:
(I'll probably draw all of these sooner or later)

Istar mostly takes the form of a male elf archer. He has piercing blue eyes and -as all elves- a body built for agility and different activities, his hair is short and brown and he is slightly lower than the average man. Istar is very quick and swift with his bow, which makes him an excellent archer. He also uses his power of air to change the directions and hit more succesfully with his arrows.
Istar wears a green leather jacket with long, loose sleeves and a brown leather trouser. He has a brown belt where he carries his dagger, which is made of silver and the shaft of blue mithril. On his back, Istar carries bow on his back, along with the bag where he carries his arrows.

He may also change to a wyvern. He can vary in size, but normally he is 17 feet tall, his tail maybe 15 feet long. Wyvern Istar is dark green, have a sharp tail, and a round forehead, like on this lego dragon. The eyes are still piercing blue, and they remain blue in all his forms.
Wyverns are almost like dragons, except that they have either no hands, or no feet, normally no hands, like Istar. Wyverns are the biggest dragons of all. They do not breathe fire, but rather spit poison out from their mouths, also, the tail tip and/or claws may have poison in them. Wyverns feed on large herbivores like elephants, hippos, deer and other.
These are very good pictures of wyverns:

Istar, sometimes takes the form of an Archaeopteryx (O:O I remembered how you spelt it!). He mostly uses that form just to hide or get into places. A normal Archaeopteryx is very clumsy in both air and on earth, but, since Istar is a wind spirit, he can glide and land and fly and all that stuff without probablems, however, he remains clumsy on land.
Archaeopteryx' actually went extint millions of years ago, but still, dragons don't really exist, but you accept them none-the-less. This bird-like reptile has feathery wings and a reptilian head. It is one of the earliest birds ever known. Archaeopteryx had a long, feathery tail that was probably the cause of the clumsiness.

However, Istar is does not have the stoney head, it is more "leathery", and the colour of it is dark brown. Also, his wings are larger.

Btw, I'm getting tired of writing, so the personality is PO, and the bio will be short, sorry :/

Personality: Po.

History: Not right now. Must get sleep. Nao. Will... finish... later *snore*

Path: Is in war (Fire side, okay?), but will later join in the search for the ocean prophet.

Accepted, MD and Bakuphoon. And MD, I suppose you're right, it's still in pre-medieval times (The humans live in tribes lead by the Earth Spirits, etc.) so the guitar is a bit out-f-place, however I suppose Vendetta could have created the guitar but not yet revealed it to the humans. Or something.

11 characters, we can start.

The blazing sunset illuminated the forest clearing very suddenly, revealing the carnage of dozens of strange beings battling. Some were vaguely humanoid, others like animals and others still completely different to anything imaginable.

One of the beings, who appeared to be a legless human boy, floating in mid-air, was currently in a rather sticky situation. He was surrounded on all sides by flames, rather, he was in the centre of a large, hollow fireball, which was gradually closing in on him. He heard the cruel laughter of Fire Spirits through the flames; they were watching and laughing at his apparent inevitable demise.

The Air Spirit gathered what little air there was in the enclosed space of the fireball, concentrated it into a ball of wind between his hands and thrust it forward, creating a momentary gap as the wind rushed through the fire. He managed to squeeze his way through that hole and emerged, hot, sweaty and gasping for breath, in the middle of the battle.

---

The same sunset was casting a bright, sparkling light across the ocean as a dark blue dolphin-like creature leaped out of the water and crashed back under the surface, spraying glittering white foam in all directions. The orca, who was in actuality a Water Spirit, felt rather alone. He knew where he was going, but he didn't know how to get there, nor how long it would take him.

He opened his mouth and let out a burst of high=pitched noise, and a few minutes later picked up an echo, telling him the shape of his surroundings. Referring to that knowledge, he turned in the water ans headed off in a direction that was almost exactly due north.
 
Dyfro ran headlong towards the sound of battle, his blue robes trailing behing him giving the appearence of someone gliding along smoothly. Only at collosal speeds.

Up ahead he saw an air spirit trapped in a fireball, but it escaped. As he drew nearer he saw a burning head being smothered by sand. He hurled himself between the attack and it's target, and flinched as the force of the attack hit him.

Then suddenly a fireball came at him from the right. He swung his arm out and a jet of water erupted from the sleve of his robes, dousing the flames. Looking around, he saw an injured human who had got too close. He moved in and started to move her out of the way, earning himself another blast of earth and another fireball for his effoert.
 
In the middle of the battle, a male elf archer shot arrows at the enemies, using wind to control the arrows movement. He shot one towards an earth spirit shaped like an ork, and used his powers to direct the arrow to it's head. As the spirit fell, the archer smirked.

Istar, an air spirit who was on the fire side, changed form to a silvery, glassy orb, then it formed into the sillouette of a big, winged lizard. A Wyvern.

Istar screeched, and shot off from the ground. How great it felt to be in his right element, the air. The air spirit screeched again, and searched the ground for air and earth spirits that would be on the enemies side. With his great vision, he spotted another air spirit, a legless human boy, floating in mid air. He had just escaped from some of Istar's allies, some fire spirits, who currently fought group of "groundies", as Istar liked to call them.

The Wyvern screeched, and dived towards its target at great speed. As Istar closed on, he readied a dose of poison in his mouth.
 
Fade's eyes snapped open.

He used his hind legs to jump off of the storm cloud which he had been resting on and flapped his gigantic wings. He reached the battle, roaring as he dove for the water spirit in his path, with his jaws wide open.
 
Cyra lifted from her cloud and hovered next to a few nearby Fire spirits. "Don't forget, I'm on your side." She then created a large wind and blew it onto the enemy, also speeding Fade up so that his attack would have more power.
 
Dyfro had the human clear, and had turned back to the battle. No fewer than three flying spirits were apparently fighting with the fire spirits, and one of them was targeting either him or the human. Hoping it was the former, he leapt into the air and charged at his attacker. Throwing his arms accross his front he generated a sheet of water which should, with his control, defect the spirit.

A blast of wind buffeted him, and he whipped his arms back, blasting himself forward to regain speed, and then returning to his defensive position
 
It seems to me that Teh Ebil Snorlax's character would be quite out of place in anything but a present-day setting.

((One of Vendetta's quirks is his love of music and to this extent, he created a device that would allow him to create his own music, hence the guitar and bass. At a later stage, Vendetta will inadvertantly lead to the 'invention' of the lute.)

Vendetta looked across the barren wasteland. The karst limestone area before him had little or no vegetation and wildlife seemed just as scarce. He pulled out the Tablet of a Thousand Truths and a quill. On to the Tablet he wrote What is this place?, which soaked into the tablet. The Tablet returned It has no name but you can call it the Burren. Vendetta smirked. The Tablet was not too reveal the future but it often loopholed by not using the future tense.
"So this is the Burren. It seems like a nice place for an Earth Spirit."
Vendetta raised a gloved hand and sent a pulse of energy at the limestone before him. The stone shattered partially, turning into a system of rough caves as Vendetta ground the stones to dust and cast them to the wind. He was left feeling slightly drained by this and decided to enter his new home and rest.
 
Mark fell from the sky as a rain drop, and, before he could fall into the rough sea and be swept up into seperate pieces by the waves, metamorphisized into a bluish-green bottlenose dolphin. With a surprisingly little splash, Mark entered the sea and began to swim. Of course, he was just moving his fins for show, as he was actually moving the water around him at high speeds, but, for all intents and purposes, he was swimming. (Are the Water Prophet-lookers supposed to meet up, or just look for it by themselves?)
 
Kasumi, drifting over a battle on a cloud, was surprised by a large wyvern flying up from the battlefield. Stretching out his senses, he concluded that the wyvern was a wind spirit.
He wondered if he should follow, but after looking down and seeing another wind spirit, taking the form of a legless human, he decided to follow the boy, rather than the mean-looking dragon.

He drifted down, and landed just outside the battlefield, waiting in his cloud of fog for the boy.
 
Saria looked up at the tree. It was huge, with bright green leaves and different kinds of fruit growing. It was her tree, created in the beginning of the world by herself.
The spirit turned and flew away from the forest.
 
Fade opened his mouth and fired a lightning bolt at the water, electrifying it. However this slowed him down slightly, and he missed his target.
Swerving, Fade shot another lightning bolt at the missed target.
 
Cyra dove towards the one who was flying towards her, and she clashed with him in midair, holding her talons forward and flailing them, hoping to rake his flesh.
 
She then created a large wind and blew it onto the enemy, also speeding Fade up so that his attack would have more power.

((Cloud Spirits can't control the wind. Sorry, I guess I should ahve speciifed, but the weather they control is all cloud-based (I.e. rain, snow, hail, or just the clouds themselves) excluding lightning.))
(Are the Water Prophet-lookers supposed to meet up, or just look for it by themselves?)

((I suppose they could 'accidentally' meet up, yeah.))
 
The lightning smashed Dyfro to one side, and as he rolled over he saw two things. Firstly another bolt of lightning was heading for him. Secondly another human, a male, was lying on the floor in the midst of the fighting.

Dyfro changed course, his legs already in motion as they touched the dirt, and snached the man from danger, returing to the point where he had left the female earlier. He stooped, picked her up and carried both of them out of the way of the fighting. Neither of them seemed to me injured, and so he turned back to the fighting, scanning for anyone in danger.
 
((Oh, okay.))
Cyra flew up thousands of feet into the sky and pushed the clouds, one by one, away from the battlefield. The sun grew intense, powering up all Fire spirits on the field. That should help, Cyra thought.
 
((Also, in case anyone was wondering, I deliberately left out the specific reason that Vendetta is trying to attain 'true power'.))
Vendetta sat against a rock. This would be his base of operations from now on. But where to look for the elusive third Precursor, the Cape of Midday, the Gloves' counterpart.
"Well seeing as I found the Gloves on the dark side of the moon, the Cape should be in the brightest place on Earth..."
 
Mark, still swimming along as the oddly-colored porpoise, sent a burst of echolocation, briefly lighting up the surrounding area in his mind's eye. Far in the distance he could 'see' a large, moving, rotund creature. Mark sped off towards the swimming blob.
 
((Darksong, if you're on Air's side, why are you helping Fire?))

Zephyr saw a large dragon flapping around overhead, shooting lightning down upon the battle. He floated up to the reptilian monster, which was presumably a Thunder Spirit, and twisted the wind around it, creating a strong gust which would hopefully blow the dragon off-course.

---

Bubble screeched again with echolocation, but when the echo returned he noticed that nearby there was a swimming creature, roughly the same shape as him but a little smaller and thinner. He felt a warm sensation all over his body and knew that the animal was another Water Spirit. He changed course and used his echolocation again, swimming off in the direction of the fellow Spirit.
 
The next thing he knew, Fade had been bowled over by a strong gust of wind. He roared in rage and tried to find out where he was before, spitting lightning in all directions.
