About QianOver a thousand years ago, the Chinese goddess Kuan Yin descended into hell, disturbed by the cries of those imprisoned there. A great compassion welled up within her when she saw their plight, and she released all the good karma she had built up during her lifetime, taking their guilt upon herself. Thus, Kuan Yin freed many souls from their torment and gave them access to Heaven. Yanluo, the ruler of Hell, was angered by the loss of so many souls. In an act of vengeance, he sent Kuan Yin to Earth, taking her memories and condemning her to spend life after life stuck within the human process of reincarnation until he considered her debt repaid. (the original legend of Kuan Yin can be found here)
In this life, she is known as Qian Nagori, and other than some very strange dreams, she has no recollection of her life as a goddess. She works as a field medic for the Republic, tending the fallen soldiers until they can be transferred to a hospital. She has a calm, soothing manner, and can keep her head even in the most chaotic of situations. This quality has raised her to a position of authority among the field medics, and others look to her for instruction when headquarters fails to send specific orders. Her knowledge of medicine is superior, and she is good at improvising with the supplies on hand. Soldiers swear that their wounds heal faster than is normal when she tends them, but she passes this off as flattery. (A leftover trait from her previous existence, perhaps?) Although she is often in the midst of the fighting, Qian refuses to carry a weapon, thinking it would be hypocritical to heal one man and wound another. She has even tended the occasional enemy soldier, something the higher-ups would disapprove of it they discovered it.

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/ ... 9bab5u.pngAbout Belsavis (Done by Freezie, tweaked by me)
Growing up, Belsavis was a real momma's boy. He'd do all the chores for her, help her cook, be nice to her, and all that good stuff. Of course, Belsavis was really the only good "boy" in Momma's life to begin with. She didn't really have a "hubby," per se, but she had a "boyfriend" who dealt drugs and whom she was terrified to leave. He rarely ever came 'round to visit, but when he did, it always ended with Belsavis hiding in a corner, and Momma with bright-red welts on her face and back. Belsavis did not like seeing Momma cry. Belsavis decided that Momma shouldn't have to cry anymore.
Belsavis had good timing, and he knew what precautious to take. The police ruled that the man was a casualty of a drug turf war.
Did this become a habit? Maybe. He once beat up a couple of gang members to save a young girl, Vivian. She's now his "ward," as it were. He looks after her from his rat-infested, tumbledown apartment--though anyone visiting would find that her room is immaculate and pristine. Belsavis cares for her far more than he does for himself by a wide margin. Belsavis is oddly altruistic in that way--he won't care if one of his arms is cut nearly clean off, but if one of his teammates has so much as a scratch, he'll be all over them. He even volunteers at a local women's shelter, acting as a 'bouncer' of sorts when abusive boyfriends or husbands showed up and demanded access to their victims.
Due to his experienced with domestic violence, he has a rather... warped view of his own gender. He believes that men are, inherently, savages. They are feral animals, who feed on violence and brute abuse of power. They will run free and bring ruin to themselves and society unless properly "domesticated" by a woman. He considers both his mother and Vivian his "domestication," but he takes extra steps to "prevent" his corruption: He watches no TV or movies, and reads no books, as he considers them too "full of violence." He does, however, keep an eye on the news, for reasons stated later. He inherently distrusts all men, and inherently trusts all women. He believes women are inherently superior, and if one harms him, it's because he truly deserves it. Which, ironically, means he's prone to falling into abusive relationships himself.
But he sees no problem in this. He and a few of the other rare men whom he trusts (who, thankfully, are not quite so... confused as him) and several women have formed a kind of "anti-gang," a volunteer group dedicated to fighting domestic abuse and drug use in the Slums. They have a pretty sunny public image, actually. They've managed to get quite a few donations from people, and for the most part, a lot of them do try to make a difference. (They have managed to help free a couple women and kids from domestic violence, and get them to the shelter.) But rumors circulate that their leader is somewhat... unhinged. Nobody can confirm them, because he always seems quite nice and polite when you speak to him. He always has alibies, and always seems affronted when you suggest that he might have been involved--But he's very good at hiding what he does. To him, killing a man is not murder.

Species and Gender: Lykuhna/FemaleAppearance:Human
Refrences: I actually don't have a picture or an official personality sheet typed up for her yet, but suffice it to say that she is a feral child. Her adoptive father keeps her clothed, but her clothes are nearly always torn and dirty (not his fault!). Her dark brown hair is unkempt, and she tends not to get along with anyone but those she considers family. I see her human form as being very similar to her kuhna form, as far as color/expression goes.

I tend to focus more on the personality of my characters than the appearance, so I'm giving you a good amount of free reign here. If you do have any more questions for me, lemme know and I'll come up with something.
