I hope things are not too late to post. Thank you for this opportunity ~Azinn (Ah-zinn)Descended from an air deity. Plot Information:Please keep in mind that, alongside this male, I have developed the idea of a twin sister for his story, referred to as Nniza. If I receive this male, I have every intention to find a suitable female to take the role of his sister. <3Azinn and his peculiar twin sister, Nniza, are decedents of a powerful, other-worldly air deity. More specifically, their ancestor reigned over the skies of their "parallel world," another dimension where gods, goddesses and deities were all well-known and revered. In ancient times, the mortals of the world worshiped the gods and deities. However, as time went on, the mortals began to lose their respect for these powerful beings, eventually forgetting their importance entirely, and referring to them only as legends. As this occurred, the gods, deities and all such beings of legends began their own transformation. Many of them sought out normal lives, neglecting and hiding their tremendous powers in exchange for blending in with the mortals that once adored them, striving to exist as a mortal within the world.
However, others were not satisfied with such a life, being forgotten and disrespected, and began running amok. Chaos and destruction befell the world and it looked as if it would be destroyed entirely. That was, until those that had lied dormant rose to fight their rebellious brethren. In the shadows, they went in to battle, keeping their identities secret so as not to compromise their mortal-like existence while destroying those that wouldn't cease their attacks on the mortal world. This was how
The Court of Gods was formed. After the warring ceased, those that fought to preserve the mortal world formed The Court of Gods, a ruling party that established rules for the other mythical beings and dealt out punishments should those rules be broken. In essence, the party was formed to keep gods, deities, and all such things in line and to protect the mortal world.
The Court of Gods has existed for many millennia, though Evelon has only been their home in fairly recent times. When their world finally fell into ruin, many fled into Evelon and, quickly, the party was reformed. Typically, those that are official members of the Court, those that pass judgement, are those that are the purest in lineage or hold the most power, enough power to be classed as gods or goddesses in their own right, as many of the bloodlines have been heavily diluted over the years.
Character InformationVigilant + Passionate + Controlled
Azinn and Nniza are orphans, their mother dying shortly after birth with no father or other family member to claim them. All that they have from her are their names, something which they refused to change, regardless of any encouragements from those that raised them. Growing up, not changing their names and their inseparable behavior deterred any prospective parents from adopting the twins. The two have an incredible bond, down to the point of being able to understand and react perfectly with one another without any means of communication. Essentially, the two are one in the same. Without one, the other feels as though they can no longer thrive and, for this reason, they prefer not to be separated for all that long or not at all, if possible. At the very least, they prefer to remain within the same few miles.
It was shortly after leaving the orphanage that the pair accidentally discovered their latent powers, when Nniza was nearly mugged, Azinn came immediately to her aid, blasting the mugger away with a powerful burst of wind. Appalled, Azinn later tried to repeat the process, with several failed attempts, until his sister managed to replicate his original actions. From the on, the two strove to harness their abilities and it took no time at all for the members of the Court to sense their powers, and said powers' origin, and approached the pair. Willingly, the two complied with the Court and agreed to join them, intent on protecting the mortal world in which they lived and loved as children, even if they were no longer "mortals."
Being the brother, despite being a handful of minutes younger than his sister, Azinn is very protective of Nniza, although the same goes for her. He displays his protective nature more openly, however. Though, now that he realizes that they are nearly immortal and that she is capable of fending for herself, he tends to worry much less about her safety. For this, she is very thankful, enjoying having some of her own space from time to time as a young woman. While she is very interested in the concept of love and romance, Azinn isn't so sure about such things for himself and is beyond picky with those that his sister takes interest in.
Azinn is something of a workaholic, being very serious when it comes to their work, while Nniza would often rather have fun. He's more the serious one while she is more the whimsical type. His one weakness, however, is cookies, something which Nniza often takes to her advantage, making her wonderful baker when it comes to all kinds of different cookies.
Azinn's RoleWithin the Court, Azinn doesn't serve on the Court itself, not helping to establish rules or passing judgement, rather, he answers to that particular group. He is undeniably powerful, but not enough to be offered the highest role available. His job is more or less "in the field," being sent out to locate and often times deal with other mythical beings. When tasks are particularly dangerous or difficult, Nniza accompanies him, as the pair works as one to accomplish their goals. In fact, paired together, they are some of the most feared among those with rebellious natures. Using their air based powers, it is incredibly eay for them to capture those that would otherwise escape. They are
not tasked with ending the life of another, neither Azinn or Nniza having the heart for it, even if it would be incredibly easy, as they are capable of removing every last bit of air from the body, should they wish it.
With the
others of The Court, Azinn isn't particularily all that close to anyone, though some suspect that he has a bit of a crush on
Asya, while Nniza and
Kiyami are good friends. He typically tries to avoid
Garrick, disagreeing with the fact that he was spared and not even imprisoned for nearly killing several mortals.
Abilities+ Able to manipulate the air around him, creating or manipulating the winds even up to a fairly large scale. (When combined with his sister, they are able to create weather-changing winds.)
Examples: He is able to surround himself in a flurry of air, creating a repelling shield around himself, send out concentrated bursts of air, manipulate the air around him in order to fly.
+ With his power over air, he is able to drain living bodies of all of their air, thus suffocating them. (Though this is a power he has no intention to use. Considered something of an "ultimate attack.")
+ He has keen hearing, able to pick up sounds from a fairly large distance.
+ With his seemingly weightless attributes, he is light on his feet, fast, and able to maneuver well and in unexpected ways, allowing him to attack from many angles or dodge around his opponents effortlessly.
+ He has something of a "sixth sense," allowing him to seemingly sense others and track them with incredible ease. This is in the similar vein as he and Nniza acting entirely as one.
+ In combat, he is particularly hard headed and isn't the sort to back down, even when the odds are not in his favor.

Associated SongsI put effort into finding songs that I feel could be associated with his character, which I typically do with most of my characters."Citizen Soldier" by 3 Doors Down.
Generally reflecting that he grew up as a mortal by all means, though once realizing his power, he defends mortals against the violent others similar to himself."Breathe" by Angels and Airwaves.
I feel as if this would be his song in regards to falling in love."Zero Gravity" by Kerli.
Similar as the above, although not so much as romantic love, but reflecting the relationship between him and his sister. Regardless of everything, they lift one another up.Why Him?Being honest, nearly everything about the character was decided upon by looking at this lovely Lucain - his name, personality, his role, everything, even including that I wanted him to have a twin sister. My Court of the Gods plot is still expanding, though I love it very much, the idea coming to me from a dream. I am trying to fill roles not by planning the roles out exactly, not making characters and filling them with any random pet I can plug in, but by being inspired on the spot by pets. One of my goals is to have a character for every of the first four elements everyone always thinks of - fire, earth, air, water. Currently, I have earth and water covered. A few weeks back, when I was thinking about what kind of pet might be good for an air themed character, I specifically decided to avoid the colors usually used for such a thing - white and light blue. After bouncing around color ideas, I settled on red, purple or red
and purple, colors that wouldn't typically make one think of air. Of course, I haven't seen any pets that I thought fit this color scheme, until you posted this contest.
His name was originally going to be Khazin, as I am particularly in need of "K" names and it seemed suiting. However, I then went "but Khazin backwards makes no sense," because that was important for some reason, apparently. I then shorted it to Azin, but then later added an extra "n," which made Nniza when flipped. From that point on, I felt that Azinn needed a twin sister, because who could pass up having a set of twins for a big plot?
