'When the final zodiac breathes his last, a new generation is born.'

Taurus drew in a deep breath; soaking in the night air, staring up at the constellations that meant everything. He knew that time was short.

He was the last of the zodiacs: it was time to step aside for the new ones. He knew his spirit would have to remain in this world for just a little longer as he guided his successor once they came into their own; no matter what they may choose.

It made him sad to know that, despite friendships, they would eventually part ways. He had come to terms with it - eventually - but frustration pierced his heart knowing he could do nothing to change it.

Fate was a cruel thing.

He drew another deep breath. He sought the peace the end would bring after the stress of responsibility for the balance of the world. Having to overthink everything he said; even the most callous of words could have dire consequences.

It was very close now. He closed his eyes; I look forward to being reunited with my friends once more...

May I guide the next Taurus as well as I have been guided...

Please, let them be wise...

Please, let peace reign...

The final zodiac breathed his last.

And so it was, a new generation was born into the world.

Character Profiles

Name: Lucy Knight (Bad)
Zodiac: Pisces [The 'saint' and the sinner]
Appearance: Medium height (5ft.5), athletic, blue eyed, pixie face shape and blonde pixie hair cut ^.^
Personality: Quick to insult, mysterious, alluring, distrusting and unknowingly to everyone else; completely self-loathing.
Power/Element: Lust. 2 is her 'magic' number and that relates to her power - She can get any guy; any girl; any one she can find to fall in 'love' with her. It doesn't last when she leaves but still, rather effective while she's around. [This only happens if she wants it to however if we do not know about our powers early on then she could do this by accident a few times..]
It is intensified in power when near water; i.e. in the rain or by a lake.

This power has to be trained though and as I said before it wanes at night. The onyx gives him luck and also helps him live. if found during the night without and onyx he is weaker and slower than most human beings.

She is an amazing shot be it; bow and arrow, a gun or simply a rock she can nearly always hit her mark. However is not very good in close combat. When wearing/being in contact with Turquoise she can create a small flame e.g. the size of a lighter flame, Turquoise also strengthens muscles. She is fairly athletic though I'm not sure if you'd call that a power.

Name: Ethrael Torian (Bad)
Zodiac: Taurus (the bull)
Apperance: Tall (6'5"), muscular, short black hair, tanned skin, brown eyes
Personality: Trustworthy, when he makes up his mind there is no changing it (if you try it's like talking to a tree), keeps his friends close, plans out things before executing them.
Power: Super strength, simply put, he can throw punches that will send people for an unexpected flight. Near unkillable while on earth, everytime he is knocked down the earth heals him and he can get right back up. His stone: Emerald, acts as earth when he is not in contact with earth so say for example he's in a plane or on a boat.
Weakness: Without the emerald he can be killed as long as he isn't touching earth. Also only as fast, agile, same reaction time as a human.
Element: Earth

Name: Jarod Gaelum (Bad)
Zodiac: Cancer- The Crab
Appearance: 5ft 10" Well-built and athletically fit. He has olive green eyes and black hair in a ponytail.
Personality: Is ever changing in his moods. He appears to be unemotional and a lone wolf. He is very caring/compassionate towards friends and family but can be very harsh and blunt towards others because he isn't someone suited to change.
Element: Water (he loves the ocean)
Power: When he holds his moonstone he can 'mist' to wherever he wants and when he forces his hands onto any surface his body absorbs their properties. He could be as strong as steel the one minute, and as light and fluffy as a marshmallow the next.

Name: Emma Fielding (Good)
Zodiac: Virgo- The Virgin
Appearance: 5ft 3" Mousy and timid-looking. She has chestnut brown eyes and long frizzy black hair.

Element: Earth
Power: She has superhuman intelligence. When she holds her sapphire her connection with the Earth strengthens- she can cause tremors and mold the earth up from the floor.

Name: Allie Laniger (Good)
Zodiac: Aries - The Ram.
Appearance: Female medium height (5ft.5), deep brown eyes (close to red), dark brown hair, feminine but muscular body
Personality: Independent, entirely trusting of everyone, good imagination, a little detached from reality, athletic
Power/Element: Aries is a zodiac known for being greatly naive and due to this her main power is the subconscious ability to switch off to/ignore any activity which she would not want to know about (this really only applies to when she is in school or whatever they do in their normal lives).
However, as her element is fire and gemstone is ruby these both enhance her power. When in contact with her gemstone she is capable of a shield of fire (intensity and power - whether it could shield just her or others - depends on the purity of the ruby) and when with access to fire she can utilise the element in her shield and thus cause damage with it.

Name: Caleb Underwood (Bad)
Zodiac: Aquarius (The water Bearer)
Appearance: Has been blind since he was a child however has crystal blue eyes, tall, short shaggy black hair, not very muscular
Personality: Is always thinking (can suffer insomnia), smart, loyal however is cold and somewhat eccentric.
Power/Element: My character actually has no powers except for telepathy with his inherited item/being which is a snowbird, he can communicate with Pilot and can also 'see' through his eyes sometimes. He is pretty much useless and defenseless without the snowbird
Snowbird:
Name: Pilot
Appearance: Snow white, feathers covered by a thin frost, pale blue beak and claws, is about the size of a falcon, bright blue eyes.
Personality: Very protective of Caleb, does not like many people, proud, defensive.
Powers: Can control water, ice, snow, frost etc however it has to be pure water (so they cannot control water in the body) Also can fly.
When in contact with Amethyst, Pilot's size and shape changes, they become much bigger and gain fore-paws (almost like a Griffon) also their beak is ragged and their eyes are covered by a 'helmet'. However there is a draw back, being in contact with the crystal is very draining so the amount of time Pilot can be in this form varies.
