First, his world and situation: The world, or Filgaia as it is called in thegame, was a beautiful world full of wonders and mysteries, whereguardians of the many different elements were worshipped. However,there was no type of rule put in place among the people, so many largegroups sought to take over the lands for their selfish visions. Thisresulted into countless acts of war and chaos, resulting in thebeautiful climate to slowly decay due to the scars put on the world bythese wars. Time passed, and soon much of the land became barren. Thesewars also produced many different chemicals that exuded into the air,land, and sea, ranging from smoke produced by factories, to poisonsmade by terrorist groups. The guardians lay lost and forgotten by thepeople, unable to forsee, let alone defend against such atrocities.Even when someone came into power, they were quickly thrown out byanother force, stronger and usually more ruthless than the previousrule. The once beautiful Filgaia became a desolate wasteland wherepeople had to protect themselves from the climate and the bandits thatravaged their villages.
100 years ago, this history changed, however. A large group ofscientists, bearing no loyalty to any would-be lords, worked on aproject solely meant for repairing what damages were done to theclimate. What they developed were Authorative Repression Machines (orARMs for short). These tiny nanomachines, if released into theatmosphere, would repress and neutralize what chemicals ravaged the airand would trickle down, repairing the land and sea in the process.However, while the project was in the final phase, they were found by amilitaristic group and were then ordered to create weapons for thesepeople. Due to the immense potential of the ARMs, the weapons that theywere soon morphed into became quite devastating. So powerful, that itwas found later that most people who held these weapons could not evencontrol them; the ARM would consume the wielders body and thus becomewild. Through extensive research, they found candidates who possessed astrange sort of telekinesis that reacted with the nanomachines. Afterlooking into how this was possible, these people were soon named as"Gene Drivers", due to the abnormalities in their genetic code. Therewere very few gene drivers, but they acted as trump cards, levelingcities in the blink of an eye. Because of this, the wars quicklystopped. And instead of numbers, the battles became about who held agene driver. Many wars stopped, many previous pollutions disappeared,but the militaristic branches who were in power continued to grow. As areaction to this, rebellious forces also began to grow, making it sothat wars were much less frequent, but much more devastating. The lastknown Gene Driver, and war, was 24 years ago, and that Gene Driver wasartificial; made by countless experiments on children ranging from theages 2 to 18. Now, the world is just starting to recover from that war,slowly healing the scars, and even forests are beginning to grow again.However, people still live in fear of bandits and monsters, animals andcreatures either mutated by the pollution or made in labs used to beused as weapons and let loose after their masters died. As an answer tothese threats, young men and women from across the world become what'sknown as Drifters. Drifters are people who travel the land in search offame, fortune, and a place to finally call their own. Many of thesepeople tend to be very talented individuals who take-up mercenary workin order to gain money for travel. However, there are also some evildrifters who scour across the land, leading terrorist groups andkilling innocent people only for their self-gain. So as the wars haveended for now, tiny battles across these recovering barrens stillensues.
Enter Nhiles:
Now that the basics of the world are told, this is Nhiles' back story. Nhiles actually has no memory pass the age of 14. At that age, hewas found outside of a small village named Argetlahm with cracked ribs,a fractured skull, and numerous long cuts down his body. They took himin, bandaged him, and tried to treat him the best they could, but hiscondition did not change for two days. On the third day, he woke up,still sore, but became stable after a while. Even though he hadamnesia, the townspeople quickly became fond of him. After a week ofrest, he began working to help build the town, doing odd-jobs for thepeople who took him in, then going out and helping everyone in thevillage. He didn't complain, but he always had a serious look on hisface; no one has even once seen him smile. After a month, the familywho took him in decided to name him, and asked him if he'd like to becalled "Nhiles". He agreed, and continued on his work. Two years later,at the age arround 16, the town suddenly came under attack by a hugepack of mutated wolves. Argetlahm was fairly secluded, so no one evenknew how to fight due to the lack of a need to know. The farmers foughtvaliantly, but they were soon driven back. As if on instinct, though,Nhiles reached for a machete with his left hand. A flicker of pain,then a feeling of familiarity. And then, lust. A lust for battle likehe had never felt before. He charged, right into the middle of theentire battlefield. Before he joined the battle, the attack had beengoing on for 1 minute 30 seconds. Afterwards, it ended 30 secondslater. 15 wolves died by long machete wounds, including the Alpha. Thesmall amount of wolves remaining fled. The Townspeople rejoiced,calling him "Nhiles Wolfbane" or "Nhiles, Bane of Wolves" He wasreveled as a hero, and was later on hired as a guard for the town.Three years later, at the age of 19, Argetlahm became a large town,almost a city. It bustled with traffic and people from all over theworld came to live there, including a couple of drifters here andthere. one day, while manning the guard post, One of his friend'sfather called out to him, asking him to help find his son. He then toldhim about a hole his son talked about and pointed Nhiles in thedirection. Two near-by drifters over-heard the conversation andcuriously joined Nhiles in his search. They found the hole, and wentdown it, traveling through a long under-ground tunnel. At the end,however, was an ancient ruins devoted to the guardian of water:Shtudark. The entire cave was surrounded by lapis lazulis, and the twodrifters were in awe of the structure, but Nhiles was on a mission, andhe just pressed forward. Not long after, the three men came upon a bluearena-like area. Then, they heard a scream, looked down, and saw theboy, cowering before a monster none of the men had ever seen before.Without hesitation, the three men charged the beast, attempting to drawit's attention to them. It worked, and the beast looked over at them,only to open it's mouth and fire a high-intensity beam at them, Nhilesand one of the drifters quickly jumped to the side, the other drifterwas not as lucky; half of his entire body was incinerated after theblast cleared. Nhiles looked over to the other drifter, who was shakingat this sight, and told him to grab the boy, as he would distract thebeast. He then charged at it, feeling nothing but hunger. Hunger foranother kill, like he hasn't felt in three years. Nhiles was fast, butnot fast enough. He struck the beast three times with his machete, andas he lunged for the fourth, the beast quickly back-stepped and openedit's mouth again. He tried to avoid it but was too slow, and his rightarm got caught in the blast. Stunned, he looked up as the beast turnedit's attention over to a stumbling drifter holding up a boy. Itcharged. The drifter didn't even see it coming. Before he could eventurn around, his head was slashed right off with a sickle-like claw.The boy fell, staring, fearful. Nhiles reached out and yelled but toknow avail. The blue color of the floor became red. Nhiles stared.Despair, anger, and fear swept over him like a wave. As the beast wasnearing him now, he felt something in the back of his mind.Something...familiar. Without warning, the walls started turningsilver. That silver then turned into dust. That dust then formed aroundthe area where his right arm used to be, and re-created it into aglorious metallic form. The dust then began coursing through his veins,giving him strength, allowing him to stand again. He knew, that now hecould fight. Before he did anything, the arm began moving on it's own.A gem that appeared on the four hand changed to a dark blue and acircle appeared on it's palm. From that circle formed a large silverrevolver with blue embroidery and four chambers. Without thinking, hepoint and shot. 3 shots. 3 holes. all in the monster's head. It fell,and turned into dust, similar to the dust that made up his right arm.Even though he won, he was still sad, for he actually lost; he wasunable to save anyone. Depressed, he came back to the surface toexplain what happened in the ruins of the temple. The village wouldhear none of it. All they saw was his ARM. They knew what it was, whatit was capable of, and right away, they feared it. Before he can evenspeak, everyone turned weapons on to him. They claimed that he was atool of war, and his appearance can only mean an occurrence of anotherone. However, since they known him for five years they arranged a deal.Rather than executing him on the spot, they would give him one day toleave the down. Sadness turned to more sadness. Hate turned to morehate. But regrettably, he left. Carrying what he could, he took on therole of a drifter. Now, he was no longer a harmless yet helpful amnesiapatient. He was now a weapon said to bring back war, wandering theworld in search of his place. | |

The bullets, however, are considered larger and more damaging than your basic .44 magnum
Fengalon- Guardian of wind: A modified B.A.R. that has dark-green plating that shoots in bursts. A clip contains 30 bullets, and instead of firing solid rounds, it fires condensed gusts of winds at high speeds instead.
Grudiev: Guardian of Earh: Summons a dark brown shotgun with threesilver barrels lined up in a liniar fashion. It only has one shot andthen needs to reload, but fires in a three-shot burst, aswell as beingable to reload fairly quick.
Moor-gault- Guardian of Fire: Summons a long launcher that fireshigh-intensity napalm at an arc. He can also switch the settings tohave the napalm explode right before leaving the barrel, creating ashort-range cone of liquid fire. comes with four shots and takes a longtime to reload.
Nova Shax- Guardian of Lightning: Summons a light-purple sniperrifle with a blue lense. it contains only two shots and has a slowreload-time, but the bullets travel as fast as lightning with the sameexact predictability.
Leita Salk- Guardian of Darkness: summons a small single-shotderringer that breaks when it fires and doesn't come back repaireduntil the next day.

Raftina- Guardian of Love: This one is so potent that it actuallyhurts the user right as he summons it. When he does, he summonssomething that looks like a small grenade, and when it's thrown, itsplits up into violet barriers depending on the chosen targets. Thesetargets are not only protected with this ability from many differenttypes of attacks, but also gain regenerative properties while thebarriers remain active.
Zephyr- Guardian of Hope: A golden sword that draws from the exactopposite power of lucied. A sword summoned only in a time of absoluteneed, and with hope, compassion, and tranquility in mind. Rivals thepower of Lucied, but not as good at covering areas like luceid is.

Odoryuk- Guardian of life: summons a sort of chest plate ontohimself that spreads out energy from it, instilling him and hiscomrades with renewed vigor, strengthening everyone's abilities.
Ge Ramtos- Guardian of Death: Summons a midnight-black claw thatreplaces his right hand. This summon doesn't necessarily give him morepower, but each slash with the claw pulls whatever he slashed back out,practically mutilating flesh after a strike.
