Faye - Self character, based on a younger, more innocent me
The Seraphim had decided that in their war against the Chaos, they needed to use as many resources and schemes as they possibly could. One particular idea involved the use of an "angel on earth" of sorts. A ground unit for them, whose parents would agree upon it after receiving a visitation from one of Zu'hai's angels. All her troubles would start from this one single event, as the human girl was chosen by the heavens, the angel cradling the infant in his arms, telling her parents of the great things that would come from her. Many years passed and the girl lived peacefully with her family, perfectly normal in every way. Every few years the angel would visit her family, waiting for the day that they could begin training her. Her family even kept her out of the loop, for her safety of course.
Before her training could start, at the age of fourteen, her family and friends were all attacked. A few Chaos had discovered the their plan and learned that she was one of the seraphim-chosen. They wanted to kill her before she could become a hindrance to them. So why is it then that she is still alive now? The very Seraph who had chosen her, though he was unable to save her family, risked his own life to make sure she would live. Unable to take care of her himself due to injuries from the fight, she was taken to Khimera Industries. Though they did not particularly care to help, they were interested in seeing if they could keep her alive.
Shattered bones were replaced with metal and synthetic bones, while her blood was chemically altered to hinder her bleeding so they could perform the surgeries she needed despite the incredible amount of blood she had already lost. She spent much time within the lab to recover, having to learn to do many things all over again before being released in to the world again with the memories of all her family, friends, the accident, and her time in the lab completely erased. If they had left anything of the like, it was too likely that she could find the labs again.
Lacking important memories, Faye has no idea where she once lived or why she can't remember her family. She can remember loving them, she can remember they had been there for most of her life, but it's all hazy and shattered. What little bit she had managed to learn over the years about her mission from visits? Completely gone. The Seraphim had lost everything they had been working toward with her, though they aren't completely done with her. From the shadows she is still watched over in the hopes that she may still be of use and to protect her if she were to come under attack again, though the group of Chaos was left to believe she died.
Despite her lack of memories, Faye lives life happily. She moves from one place to the next thinking that some day she might figure out everything that she has forgotten. She does not press for the return of these memories though. If they are to come back, they will. Until then she's quite content with her life and seems to put herself in danger at every turn due to her lack of common sense.
Kid - Based on my (deceased) dog
At a very young age, Faye and her sibling here taken to a pound one day to choose a canine companion to take home with them. Upon seeing the white and tan Sahound, the child ran up to the cage, not thinking of the possibility that he might snap at her when she threw her hand through the gate to pet him. Her family yelled at her for it, but soon realized that there was no way he would attack her. He was a scared little thing, confused about what he was doing in the pound. His attitude flipped when the hand reached out to him, bounding over to lick at it with his tail flopping around behind him excitedly. Without as much as a single thought about any of the other pets in the pound, the family settled on taking this Sahound with them, naming him Kid.
For her entire life, Kid was always there by her side. He was her pillow at night, her playmate during the day, and always her loving little brother, as she would call him despite him being far from human. If danger approached, he was always there to either alert the family or take care of it on his own. During the attack on her family, this would be the Sahound's very undoing. He had been unusually restless the entire day and when night fell he was unable to sleep, laying at the foot of her bed with his eyes locked on the doorway. When the attack started, he threw himself in to the one-sided battle against the Chaos, ultimately ending in his lifeless body being thrown at the girl's feet.
For his valiant efforts to protect their charge, Kid was given the chance to continue on in the world of Evelon as an angel himself - one that would continue to be able to watch over the girl without hinting to their enemies that they were still working on the project. Til this day, though he is unable to spend the amount of time that he did with her as a child, Kid continues to watch over Faye despite knowing that there is little he can do other than watch.
Alucard - Based on my (deceased) cat
Faye had always been terrible about taking in stray pets, and her family always seemed to cave in and let her keep them. Alucard's mother had been one such case. She was nothing more than a stray cat, one which Faye started feeding every time it came by their house. Over time, she became more along the lines of a family pet - simply one that lived outside and was free to come and go as she pleased. Eventually, she had a litter of kittens; one such little one being Alucard. All of his siblings were given away to friends, while he was named and kept close to his mother. Despite eventually having another litter, Alucard stayed very attached to his mother, even suckling on her while his much younger siblings were.
One fateful day, Alucard's mother was torn from him. She was found too late after having been poisoned, not enough time to even get her to the nearest vet. Though Alucard was skittish and fearful of other humans, Faye still worried that if he were kept outside all the time he would eventually suffer the same fate as his mother. Because of her fear, her grandparents, who also owned Kid, agreed to take the feline in. He became a beloved part of the family, even playing with the Sahound quite often.
He was a gentle cat, almost like a ragdoll to Faye. She could sling him about in her arms, run in to a room and scream his name, and he would simply accept it. Not that he didn't have his quirks though. He opened up to her grandparents since he saw them daily, but Alucard always feared strangers and would hide if anyone came to visit the family. He would not fight another cat if attacked, yet if he saw Kid get in to a fight with another dog, he would gladly jump in on the Sahound's behalf. He also always had a regal air about him, as if he should be treated like he was some god by anyone other than Faye.
Alas, his life was all too short. Merely a few years after being born, Alucard's life was taken on the same night that most of Faye's family was. Upon hearing Kid's assault, the Slynx rushed in to the room to aide him. Naturally, he met more or less the same fate as the Sahound. Nowdays he can be found trailing along with the Sahound, watching over the human girl that they failed to protect.
Miyuki - Based on my (deceased) ferret
Much like any other animal that caught Faye's eyes, she fell in love with the Ferrikoon species the moment she laid eyes on them. Throughout her childhood her family owned many Ferrikoons, almost every one having a different fur pattern. Miyuki was the second one, of an eventual total of ten, to be brought in to her life, as well as the first female of the bunch. She was also the smallest, even after they were all grown. Despite being so petite, Miyuki was always considered quite the little trouble maker, always getting in to things she shouldn't have or eating things that probably weren't good for her to be eating - such as a pen cap on one occasion.
One day she seemed to pass out, refusing to wake for anything. This had never happened before with her, though at times she had been found to be lethargic. After quite the scare, the family found that her blood sugar had been too low. Any time she seemed to be under the weather she was given a very small bit of a sugary treat and the albino Ferrikoon was back on her feet terrorizing the household. Sadly, no amount of sugar would be able to save her on the day that she passed away. Unable to do anything without a vet nearby with the ability to care for such an exotic pet paired with not having any clue what was causing her sickness, Miyuki slowly slipped away from the world while resting in a towel in Faye's arms.
Though the woman is unable to remember her just as she is unable to remember any of her family, Miyuki has joined the forces watching over her from the shadows. Sometimes she'll try to cause a bit of ruckus for Faye, hoping that the chaos might bring back the memories of the times they had together.
Smokey - Based on my (deceased) cat
Coming home from school one afternoon Faye found a small Kitrell kit on her front steps. It lacked wings and instead had a fully developed pair of front limbs. The mother Kitrell was nowhere to be found, and Faye quickly asked her mother if she would be allowed to care for the tiny little kit. It was smaller than most kittens and very weak. Along with the fact it had all four legs fully developed led the family figured that it was the runt of the litter and had been abandoned by the mother. As she grew up the feline never seemed like a normal Kitrell, lacking balance, grace, and often times very spiteful. One moment she could be the sweetest Kitrell one could imagine while the next she could be attacking a person for no good reason. Still, she was exceptionally loyal to Faye and suffered much the same fate as Kid did.
Knowing that Faye does not remember any of them, Smokey travels at her side once again after having faked an injury on the side of a road the woman was passing down. She often gets angry with Faye's other guardians, particularly Miyuki as she does not want the girl to regain such painful memories. Sometimes she will worry the girl by going missing, during which she is usually chasing off the Ferrikoon in rage.
