Rihanna & Lykaios

[Rihanna Astor]

Ok, so.. spose we shall use ur idea. XD lets go. U first.

[Lykaios]

MK. so we dont forget, i shall have a brief plot here.

In a world called Sora, mountainous are the worlds main geography, consisting of scattered masses known as terras. Because of the geography, travel is largely dependent on flight. The technology of Sora is based around energy-generating crystals, used to power the various devices that are used by the inhabitants etc. Because these crystals offer great power, Sky knights patrol the skies ( a group of warriors who pilot motorcycle-like vehicles that can semi-transform into flying machines.) These warriors are managed by the Sky Council.
An evil ruler threatened Sora. The Sky Knights led the war against the threat, but they were betrayed by one of their own. The Sky Hawks did not survive.
Years later, the wreckage of the Sky Hawks' carrier, the Condor, is found.
Conflict arises again with a new ruler of Sora. Among her followers is the man who betrayed the Sky Hawks and now serves as her right-hand man.
In order to keep her control, she sends her men out to rid of any desendant of the sky knights/hawks, knowing that they would be the only threat to her.

All good?

[Rihanna Astor]

XD yes. U didnt have to do that but i spose it will come in handy.

Name: Shou Astor
Age: 18
Gender: female
Desendant of: Captain Astor of the Sky Knights.

Personality: Shou has a bit of a short temper, but sometimes keeps it under control. She is a tough sort of girl, that doesnt like being called girly, or pretty etc. She knows briefly of her desendants and her inheritance but refuses to admit it, knowing of the dangers. Shou is a stratagist, planing attacks which are mostly successful.

Appearance: Shou is tall and wears a tight black and blue body suit (covers the arms and legs in one), the blue in a large feather pattern down the side and boots. At her side she has a simply fighting staff that can shrink to half its size for easy hiding. Shou's hair is long and black with bright red streaks through it, and piecing blue eyes.

History: Shou was adopted by a family, but, suspected of treason, they were killed. Shou since then has taken refuge in an abandoned tree house on a secluded terrace. Over the years it has become an upgraded home and strong hold. She has been fighting off groups that want to capture her position by herself, and so far so good.

[Lykaios]

Name: Jay Astor
Age: 19
Gender: male
Desendant of: Leiutenant Commander Uthman.

Personality: Jay is a bit of an air head at times, but only because he was on his own for most of his life. He cares a lot about others and can become annoyingly serious when it comes to fighting. Unlike Shou, who plans attacks, Jay is the one that carries them out, fearlessly as he knows he is a desendant of the Sky knights, and is proud of it.

Appearance: Extremly tall but still well built and strong, this helps him be agile and quick. He has sandy coloured hair and strong emerald green eyes and wears whatever clothes he can find that fit him, which is most of the time a simple shirt and pants but always has his old leather jacket. He has no weapon at first, but then gains twin blades that are genrated by two crystals.

Histroy: He doesnt rememeber anything of his past, except that he was alone and wondering around mainly in the valley, a hostile and volcanic environment below the mountians. When he manages to get to the surface, he realises who he is and from there, tries to find the remaining Astors to restore the Sky Knights and return Sora to its former glory.

Shou stalked along the deck, her boots breaking the silence. Then, out of thoughts, she leant on the metal railing on the balcony as the summer air rolled through her black hair, and she closed her eyes. She focused on clearing her mind, it was a peacefull day, nothing was due to happen and the air was fresh and cool. It reminded her of when she first raised the flag that was gently flapping above her now, the black background and electric blue feather. It brought a smile to her face, it was better having the Sky Hawks flag flying, she would be dead right now, six feet under in the wasteland instead of breathing the fresh air she was now. Everything about her life she hated, except the satisfaction she feels when she defeats somebody, by herself. A sudden strong scent of dirt filled her nose; wasteland dirt. Looking ahead, she could see a trail of black smoke, she settled again on another rail and watched as the ship drifted away, before falling out of sight. This confused her, and, turning back to the gates, she scratching her brow, and pushed herself away from the railing and spun around when she saw something moving on the horrizon.
That cant be good.' she thought when she saw a large air ship rise. Was it charging at her? Were they doing a suprise attack? But as she stared through her hair, she saw a figure ruuning.
A person? They were chasing a person on foot? And what was the big idea of the person running towards her?
No, they were getting no sanctuary from her, exspecially from the Dark Aces.

[Lykaios]

The city was busy with people buying what they needed and just browsing around the different machine parts and bargening with sellers who were over pricing items.
Jay strolled with his head down, hands in his pockets and hair covering his face. People brushed past him like he wasnt there but he continued to walk straight. One large man bumped into him and Jay fell, knocking over a stall of used up crystals.
'Watch where you walk kid,' the man hissed and then left him. Jay helped the woman pick up the crystals, appolagising before he stuffed some into his pocket when she wasnt looking.
'Just wait, they'll know me one day. Then lets see them knock me away.' he growled in his mind. 'Because I am an Astor!' he cheered loud, and pumped his fist into the air. Everyone around him froze and stared at him and Jay lowered his arm.
'I said that out loud,' he groaned and then looked up when he heard the engine of a skimmer. The machine began to lower and then two others appeared, empirial guards armed and aiming at him.
'Shit!'
Jay ran, but with a large smile on his face. The skimmers dropped from the sky and the metal wings pulled in, forming sort of large motor cycle.
That is so cool!' thought jay as he continued running, his breath passing easily through his lungs. Pushing one man off his skimmer, Jay began to take off when the skimmers chasing him flew in front of him and shot. The motor started and Jay looked above his head as the propellers began to spin faster and he was off the ground. Pushing the gears as hard as they could go, he flew straight down into the waste land.
Anyone who was an astor was killed instantly, trail, evidence or not, and he was stupid and announced it to everyone. He glanced at the ring on his finger and smiled, it gave him some courage as he dodged the rugged terrain of the wasteland.
Glancing behind, they were still chasing him, and he cursed them for being so pessistant. He pulled up suddenly, and one smashed into a volcano.
He stayed in the clouds and looked around. Nothing. With a sigh he relaxed, but then he heard the engine of something else. Spinning around, a large Condor appeard behind him, weapons ready. Sharp shooters appeard here and there and Jay frowned. He dropped from the sky when an arrow hit the gears, breaking his control. Luckily there was a terra bellow him and he crashed onto the ground hard.
At least there was some green grass. Instantly Jay was up on his feet and running towards the compound infront of him.
The condor behind him was still charging at him and aiming but Jay ignored it.
'Hey! Open up! Please Come On!' Jay yelled as he reached the gate. He pounded on it, out of breath, hoping someone would hear what was going on.

[Rihanna Astor]

They were getting closer.
Shou hissed. She didnt know what they were chasing the man for but she couldnt let him die at he gate, then the Aces would come in and ask her questions. But then she could be charged with sheltering a criminal.
Oh well.' she thought and quickly ran inside, pressing a button and she heard the gate creeking open. She gave it a while and then she closed it. Rushing back to the balcony, she saw the Condor getting ever closer, the sharp shooters leaving holes in the high, heavy metal and wooden wall.
Shou looked down and the leapt from the balcony, landing softly on the ground, her hand on the ground supporting her as she crouched and flickered her hair back from her face. Standing, she sprinted to the gate to help it close quicker, and the condor, suprisingly, had stopped firing and was now landing, guards swarming around the front of her terra.
'You better have a good god dam reason for why you have a Dark Ace Condor chasing you.' She hissed to whoever was standing behind her, focusing on watching the men.

[Lykaios]

Jay had his back to the gate when it opened, but he couldnt hear it over the condors engine. Turning around, he saw it closing slowly and he quickly ran in, as he caught his breat, he turned and looked around, but only saw someone landing infront of him, flicking her hair back. He stared, amazed.
When she spoke, Jay turned around and looked at her, ot bothering to look at him, focusing on the troops outside.
'I um, i, they chasing,' he swallowed. 'Chasing me cause i,'
he couldnt help it, and he smiled, pointing to his chest. 'Because i am an astor! and i am going to destroy the dark aces and restor the light back to Sora!' he smiled like a goof before he realised he did it again, to a stranger, who now might kill him.

[Rihanna Astor]

Turning to stare at the fumbling man, Shou gave him a confused glare as she stalked towards him. Then, as he began to screetch he was a Astor, Shou felt her blood run cold and she hurridly marched up to the man.
'Freak,' she said and lifted her fist, bringing it down hard on his head. She knew he would collaps in a few moments, she couldnt have him running around saying things like that! What a nut! Surely he was lying, he must be an escapee from some mental hospital or something surly! No Astor would run around announcing such things, she would know. The troops became louder and Shou turned around, waiting for them to attack, but they didnt, only announcing that they wanted to enter and sieze the man she was protecting.
Phh, she wasnt going to protect him.

[Lykaios]

Opening an eye, Jay saw the girl walk towards him. Well, woman he had to admit. His eyes scanned over her tight leather clad body and the bright blue along the sides. Her hair was streaked with red and Jay thought that was an interesting mix. As she came closer, he realised they were about the same hight which he thought was odd. She said freak and Jay stared at her, then felt a pain in his head and bit his tongue. He swayed slightly, trying to grab onto her shoulder as she turned around but fell to the ground with a thud. Raising his hand, he tried to tell her to take off his ring, he didnt want to be thrown in prison or executed, he was just stupid. But his eyes rolled to the back of his head and relaxed.

[Rihanna Astor]

Hearing the thump behind her, Shou rolled her eyes and looked down at the man who had finaly collapsed. Spinning around, she stared down at his blonde hair and emerald eyes closing.
Seriously, what was wrong with this, boy?
She knealt down, concentrating on his hand when she saw something shine from his finger. Lifting his hand, she saw a ring; a thick gold band with a blue and green hawk symbol imprinted on it. Shou stared at the crystal pieces forming the shape, amazed.
This man wasnt crazy. But, still, she slipped the ring off his finger and put it in her pocket. He didnt need that, and with the blow to the head he wont remember much. Hey, she was helping him. She hooked her arms under his and began to drag him into her compound, to hide him safely away from the dark aces.
Ok, she was helping and protecting him, but, he was an astor, she couldnt just let him be killed. But if he had of been some nut, she would have thrown him into the wastelands herself.

Shou had managed to rid of the Dark Aces, leading them towards the other crash sight instead. It was dark and Shou had the man lying on her bed, tucked in her sheets, a damp cloth on his head. She didnt know why, she had to take care of him until she could get rid of him. As she stared at him for a while, she looked down at the crystals he had had in his pocket.
She would be hanging onto them. She glanced around the candle lit room. The dark aces would be back soon. She was now a criminal, all because of this strange, strange man.

[Lykaios]

Slowly Jay woke, and his eyes scanned around the small dimly lit room. Panic flooded through him and he sat up but his his already throbbing head on the low ceiling of the room. Jay groaned and lay back down, feeling the cloth on his head he lifted it and then put it back, feeling the cool water ease his head ache.
Turning his head, he saw the woman from outside.
Thankgod, im not in prison.' he sighed. Unless she got thrown in to, but she looked fine and he had a cloth and comfy bed. He was fine, he was safe, but the look on in the strange girls eyes was saying that not for long. Jay raised himself slightly and gave her a wake smile.
'Hi.' he said simply and held out a hand for her to shake.

[Rihanna Astor]

Shou had to hide a giggle as the man jolted awake, hitting his, own head this time, again. As he lay back down, Shou lifted the cloth from him and re-wet it for him and then slapped it on his forehead.
'Hi yourself' she said and stood, ignoring his open hand. The room was normal sized, only the bed was like a small cave section. Moving towards the stove, Shou lifted out the warmed bread and brought over some fruit and placed it beside the man.
'Hury up and eat, you have to go.' she snapped, a little harder than intended. But now she was at risk. She didnt even know this man! Stupid fate, two astors just HAD to meet didnt they? Stupid predictions, stupid porphecies, stupid man, stupid dark aces.
She realised she was mumbling and then looked over her shoulder at the man. Then she flicked her hair from her face and marched up stairs.
'Stupid man.' she grumbled.

[Lykaios]

Jay felt something heavy in his chest and he lowered his hand.
As she slapped the cloth back onto his forehead, Jay sighed and watched as she brought him some food.
Thankyou,' he thought as he sat up to eat the food she demanded he ate. Jay heard her say stupid man and he drooped the food, loosing his appitite. He didnt even know her and already they were enemies, he had endangered her, so now she has a good excuse. Why was he so stupid? Standing up, he saw the room was larger and he rolled his eyes at his stupidity. He noticed his ring gone, but couldnt remember if he had put it away or what. He followed the stairs up and onto the balcony, the cool air hitting him softly and the sun blinding him, and he tripped on the last step, sprawling out over the deck.

[Rihanna Astor]

Shou was resting on the rail again, the breeze gently carrying her hair behind her like a train. She was staring out towards the capital of Sora.
That man is right though, we should be doing everything we can to restore what little light we can to this messed up world.' she thought sadly, spinning his ring in her slim fingers. Flicking her head down, she watched it spin until she heard a thumd behind her and turned to see the man. But, she didnt just leave him there. Pushing herself off the rails, she knealt down next to the man and helped him up to his feet, suprised by how light he was. She smiled at him, and she wasnt sure if it was the warm setting sun, but she couldnt help but stare at the man.
'Hi. Im Shou.' she said soflty and her smile softened as she wiped the remaining water from his forehead.
