The Remenos, Specifically, Lizi's kids...

[Devabbi]

...since the Remeno family is pretty much...what's the word... fuckin' gargantuan!

Beginning with Lizi herself. ^^

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

Name: Elizabethana Amatiaran Remeno

Nickname: Lizi (in basically ancient times, she was called Ama...only her bros know this though)

Age: She lost count after a couple of millenia. She has never looked her age though...

Birthdate: She thinks it was in August, but they don't really celebrate her birthday anymore.

Job: Owner/operator of a tavern/inn, as well as the owner of an orphanage, and the Guardian of the Yellow Rose Territories.

Race: She obviously has shapeshifter blood, but judging by her kids, has an unidentifiable mix of demon blood as well...

Apperance: Though it really does vary (shapeshifter!) she tends to lean toward dark or odd-colored hair, light eyes, lithe builds, and loves being in a pretty form. This will be explained later... For the past century or so, she's been stuck on one form, though she'll go back and forth. Said form has bottom-of-shoulder-blade-length black hair that's a little curly, very light blue eyes, barely-noticeable freckles, and a rather thin build with a bit of curve. No matter what appearance she decides to take on, there's no mistaking the sense of authority and power she has about herself (and she can certainly back it up). No matter what form she's in, she always has the identifiable tattoo of a yellow rose on her hip. This will be explained in her history. ^^

Special Abilities: Within the confines of the Yellow Rose Forest, where she has been for the majority of her older-than-time existence, she is (quite literally) God. She controls the weather, can call upon the animals at a whim, can keep people from entering or exiting, can hide things, can move things, can kill people (she doesn't do this much), can make new things... Basically anything she damn well wants to do. She's very much telekinetic, telepathic, and can control all of the basic elements outside of her forest (she's really good with water and fire).

Personality: Infallible, authoritative, sarcastic, protective, and very loving and warm. She hates to be proven wrong, though if it's a close friend, she'll just laugh it off. Being that she has pretty much all the power inside her forest (kind of like a genie -- phenomanal cosmic powers, itty bitty living space), she tends to get a little haughty about it. She never throws around her abilities though. She's very sarcastic in that she doesn't like anyone who has the gall to ask her a stupid question. If you're gonna ask an almost-all-knowing being something like "Why does the sun set?", then you're pretty damn stupid. With 14 kids, she's very protective of all of them, as well as her grandkids and great-grandkids. She's also loving and warm, preferring that over her other side of hostile activity... As a warning, just don't piss her off. It's hard to do so, but once it's done, she'll probably stay pissed until you're dead, or gone, or maimed at least...

Strengths: Her abilities.

Weaknesses: Her boundaries, and her past. Anyone who knows her past has a pretty damn good handle on her.

Fears: Never finding her mate like all of her children have. She believes her mate might be Blaze or Ace, but it's a hard decision, being that both have rather horrible track records in the relationship area...

Family:
Brothers - Bryan, Tristan
Sister - Ravenna
Cousins - Ramika, Amelia
Kids - Devon, Travis, Nare, Jadenn, Jesse, James, Kerrin, Juliette, Dante, Syd, Ailyn, Colvin, Dustin, and the newest addition, Kio.
Grandkids - There's over 30. I'm not naming them all.

Marital Status: At this exact moment, she's sort-of with Ace... Maybe. Kind of.

History: Being that she grew up a REALLY REALLY long time ago... not much is known about her childhood. She likes it that way. However, living for a few millenia really wears on the mind. A couple thousand years ago, she lost her mind, and became the most ruthless assassin in history. Kind of like Jack the Ripper, only with more blood, and her name was known by everyone in the public. She was notorious for her slow and painful deaths that were incredibly quiet. She never left evidence that it was her, except for carving her initials into the nearest wall or surface near the body. She was never caught, she was never tried, and to this day, is still on the run. Her first child, Devon, was only born around two hundred years ago, while she was still a bloody monster. She'd raped one of her more sexier victims, and the baby Devon became of it. She didn't yet have the heart to kill a child, but she knew her lifestyle wouldn't support a baby either. Devon was given to her brother, Tristan, to raise, and he did a fine job. After Devon was born though, Tristan did society a favor and killed her. He has never told anyone about this, and neither has Lizi. It's a secret between them, since he is a pacifist, and she doesn't want it to be known that she was so far gone she had to die. When she died though, she had so many souls that she had stolen lives from, that none of them wanted to watch her go back down to earth and just do it again. So instead, they went into her mind to make sure she behaved herself. When she was dropped back down to Earth (her mother runs limbo, only reason she didn't go to hell), she was in agony. There were thousands of minds and spirits in her head. Only through a terrible struggle and months of reasoning and bribing did she regain control of her own body. The minds still live inside of her, making sure she doesn't revert to her old ways. This is also how she is able to shift between bodies. The power behind all of the demons, elves, humans, and others that she's killed allows for the change, and the body blueprints are provided by the minds' memories. They are the bodies of those she has killed. She had been dead for 40 years, regaining her consciousness and making the long journey back down. Devon was a grown man, who hated her for abandoning him. She tried to move on, and did. She met Charlie, who seemed to sate her every need. He had money, he had looks, and he loved her. As soon as she was pregnant though, he left her. Lizi broke down and nearly killed the baby, also nearly reverting back to her old ways. For safety, Tristan took this second child, and raised him as well, letting Lizi recoup without the baby to worry about. But then... she met Blaze, as well as her best friends, Star and Rhia. They brought back her sanity. Blaze and she had a child, a daughter named Nare. Nare was killed at eighteen by people out for revenge against Lizi. Nare returned after 40 years as well, but her life wasn't the same. By then, Lizi had had 11 more children. Her father was pretty much gone. Lizi tried to help her daughter recoup, but nothing really worked. She gave up as soon as she found a boyfriend, thinking that would help, and instead kept an eye on her. She had triplets off a guy in Mexico that she'd screwed during her vacation, though Colvin and Dustin were killed at the tender age of five. She got together with Ace, Blaze's mortal enemy, funny enough. She gave him his first child, a son named Kio.

Education: Though a minimalist, she keeps up with the times.

Pets: Gryffons, loads of them. She's got a pen for them, deep in the forest.

Others: Lizi's demon side. Piss her off enough, and this will show up. It's basically a huge black bear-like creature with red eyes, extremely huge claws, big teeth, and wings. Beware, it doesn't care who it kills.

[Devabbi]

((Not one of her kids, instead this is her brother))

Name: Tristanathabel Aluxenderon Remeno

Nickname: Tristan (used to be Alux)

Age: If you'd believe it... he's older than Lizi by exactly 10 years.

Birthdate: Sometime in March, celebrated instead as Beltide (a holiday he created)

Job: Local cleric for the Yellow Rose Territories, Beltide leader, general advisor to his sister, and Peace Keeper between the surrounding territories.

Race: Unidentifiable demon mix.

Apperance: Tristan can't shapeshift. He's got very long white silver hair that usually has the top half pulled back, the top half is streaked with gray and black. His eyes are a milky violet, and there's a small hand-shaped scar across his eyes. He's rather tall, and is most likely not wearing a shirt. He's so old that he just doesn't care anymore. He still has a fairly good body though. Yay for demon blood.

Special Abilities: Tristan is extremely clairvoyant. For those with small vocabularies, he's a psychic. He knows everything about you before you meet him, and knows exactly when the world will end. He won't say how or when though, as he knows the disastrous effects of publicizing the future. Besides, the future is never definite because of free will. Instead, he sees different versions of the future. He's also pyrokinetic (can control fire), but he doesn't use it very often. Even if he doesn't use it, he's pretty damn good with it.

Personality: A complete and total pacifist, it is damn near impossible to really piss him off. You can rub him the wrong way, or irritate him, but to really piss him off takes some skill. He won't fight, unless given a proper cause (like saving Rhia for example). He's somewhat of a doormat, and will give into anything if you ask nicely enough. He's very warm, and very loving. He likes to touch, mainly faces and hands, as he respects space bubbles. He keeps to himself and is rather quiet. He loves his Rhia, and she's about the only thing he'll fight for. He's very passionate though. He's not an artist, but he did teach his nephew Devon the basics of painting. He's also a bit creative too.

Strengths: Ignoring people, calming himself down quickly, meditating, reading people without delving into their minds, and surprising people.

Weaknesses: Saying no, kids, Rhia, and his kid.

Fears: Since he can check off the "dying alone" bit, he's terrified that he'll be wrong about something very important and something will go drastically wrong with his visions.

Family:
Brother - Bryan
Sisters - Ravenna and Elizabethana
Cousins - Ramika, Amelia, Kelby
Children - Caleb

Marital Status: Happily mated to Rhia.

History: Woo doggie... Like Lizi, grew up regularly and uneventfully. He discovered he was psychic at the age of 20 and knew it had to be hidden. Sadly, his visions back then came in an average of five-second blips that gave him splitting headaches, were never quite clear, and were most likely past visions. He steadily got a handle on his abilities, and the splitting headaches went away with the lengthening and accuracy of the visions. He started meditating, which made the headaches go away completely. He started being able to call the visions at will. He became damn good at reading people. Still, he took advantage of his abilities. He became a mercenary, and always knew where the good loot was. He helped a lot, but it was a terrible thing to do. It backfired on him one night though. He won't talk about it and I'd rather not either, it ended up with him nearly dead and in the care of his sister, Ravenna. She nursed him back to health, asking him questions about what had happened to him. He'd just shake his head and say that he'd never kill ever again. This eventually grew into I'll never be that angry again, and so the pacifist Tristan was born. A couple millenia later, he took in the child of his sister's. By then, Ravenna was dead and Lizi was insane, Bryan just hated all three of them, so he was stuck with the kid. It made him a better person in the end, though it had been rough raising him. Devon was a pyrokinetic demon, and when his abilities came in, he was just a child. He and Tristan were playing peek-a-boo when it happened, and Devon accidentally blinded his uncle. He still feels guilty about it to this day. However, Tristan gets by just fine with his other senses, and says that he can still see, just in a different way. That much is obvious since he can still touch someone's face without groping around for it like a man in the dark. Nothing else really eventful until he took in Travis and killed his sister. He still feels guilty about that, but it had to be done, for the good of humanity. She thanked him for it later too. Only recently has he met Rhia. They had a son and he named him Caleb. Sadly, the child is already showing signs of anger problems, even with a pacifist father and a mother that rarely has to fight anymore. Go figure.

Education: He's got a master's degree in just about everything there is to get a master's in. He's still working on mastering the different dialects of the Russian language.

Pets: None.

Others: As a warning... Tristan meditates in the nude. As a way to tell, when he's meditating, his house is silent. When he's up and about, there's always some sort of white noise in the background to keep his ears busy. Silence bothers him for some reason... good thing he's not deaf...

[Devabbi]

Name: Devon Jonas Remeno-Callard

Nicknames: None

Age: Over 100... Eldest of the Remeno bros.

Birthdate: November 17

Job: He's had several, including a gang leader, mercenary, lead singer in a band called Rally, construction worker, odd-jobber, but is now a manager in the fighting business.

Race: Unidentifiable demon mix

Apperance:

He stands at 6'2" and 180-something pounds, mostly muscle. He has shoulder-length, dark blue (almost black) hair that he pulls back into a dragontail at the nape of his neck. He has icy blue eyes and, unlike the rest of his siblings, no freckles. He has a cold look about him, though he also looks like he could goof off. He has that special mischievous smirk that will come out when he decides to use it. His hands are pretty damn nimble from a few of his hobbies.

Special Abilities: Devon is a very experienced and developed flame demon, and can use his powers to the best of his ability. He's also very clairvoyant. Being a young psychic, his abilities backlash on him and give him anywhere from minor headaches to splitting migraines. The flashes are usually tiny puzzle pieces that don't mean anything until he's actually in the situation. They usually last from three to thirty seconds, sometimes having warped sound coming with them. He blacks out during his visions, usually either freezing up of just falling over. This makes driving very dangerous for him, even if they're few and far between and he does get a bit of a warning by a tingle in the back of his head.

Personality: Devon starts out as being very cold, distant, a little cruel, and even downright mean at times. That's his gang side. Once he quits though, he becomes quite the little prankster. He can't seem to take anything seriously. He's a ladies' man, bouncing around from girl to girl, but none of them can make him happy like Shannon does. To Shannon, he's very affectionate. He loves her more than anything else in the world. He's protective, though not at all possessive. He doesn't think he should be jealous just because someone's eyeballing his mate. After all, he is the only one getting any from her, of course. However, it's a "Look but don't touch" policy. Anyone touches her, they're likely to loose a limb or their life, depending on the offense.

Strengths: Faking innocence, faking ignorance, his abilities, rallying people, speeches, and getting groups together.

Weaknesses: Shannon and kids.

Fears: Dying alone, never getting rid of his psychic headaches, having a vision of Shannon getting hurt or dying, and having a vision in the middle of traffic.

Family:
Parents - Lizi and Charlie Callard
Brothers - Travis, Jadenn, and Kio
Sisters - Nare, Kerrin, Ailyn
Kids - Brogan, Aunrae, Solstice
Grandkids - Connor

Marital Status: Happily mated to Shannon.

History: Born amid his mother's insanity, he was raised by his uncle. Nothing really eventful until his powers came in at the age of nine. He'd been playing one of his favorite games with Tristan, where Devon would cover his eyes and ask him questions about what he was doing. Tristan would always know, and it fascinated Devon. But suddenly, his hands became too hot and started burning his uncle's face. He didn't remove his hands fast enough, and he blinded his uncle, leaving behind a hand-shaped scar over his eyes. Tristan told him that it wasn't his fault, and that there was nothing he could've done. Devon still felt guilty about it for the rest of his life. When he was eight, his brother, Travis, came into his life. He got along well with the little tyke, even with their age difference. Travis pretty much taught him how to take care of kids, just by being a kid. Tristan taught both boys some form of art, getting them guitar lessons like they asked. Travis seemed to excel at it, while Devon failed horribly with it. Tristan tried something else, handing Devon a small pack of kiddie paints and telling him to go to town. He did, and created a remarkable painting for a fifteen-year-old. He became a prodigy at his school as soon as he joined the art program, and was eager to learn. At his first art showing at his school, he invited his mother. He always wanted to please her, to just know her, and to feel loved by her. She didn't show. In his anger, he destroyed several of his paintings and went into the throes of a teenage fit. Halfway through his paintings, a splitting migraine stopped him in his tracks. He fell backward and writhed while he had a vision about a little girl playing at a river, and a pregnant woman standing nearby, smiling at him. He wouldn't understand this vision until nearly a century later. Tristan sat with him through the ordeal. His psychic abilities had finally kicked in, and they kicked hard. Over the next few years, he learned how to lessen the effects of the headaches, and the warning signs of his visions. They didn't bother him anymore, though the girl he often saw in his visions did. He asked his uncle about her, and Tristan smiled, replying that she was probably going to be the love of his life. Devon never fully recovered from the disappointment of being stood-up by his mother. He joined a gang when he turned 18. By the age of 72, he was the leader of said gang. The only good thing that came out of the gang was that he met a group of loyal, reliable drows, and easily befriended them. However, Azle had taken over his life. He'd killed for it, he'd been shot for it, he'd gone to jail for it, he'd fought for it, he'd nearly died for it on several occasions... it was becoming his obsession. But then... he met Shannon at a bar. She was the girl from his visions. It took him awhile, but he managed to quit Azle. He was one step closer to being the man of her dreams... Though it would take quite a bit more work. He pined after her, day and night harassing her, even if he'd drift in and out of town. She resisted him though. After nearly thirty years of his persisting, she finally caved and went out on a date with him. Within a year, she was marked, pregnant, and they were living together. Brogan was born. When he was just barely six months old, they received a baby whose mother called her Solstice. The mother was Devon's ex-girlfriend, but she said it wasn't his baby. She just thought that he'd be able to find a good home for her. That home was his. He took the girl in, though she was always a pain in the neck for him, he loved her like his own daughter. Two years after her, Aunrae was born. The family has been one big ball of fluff ever since then.

Education: Finished high school with flying colors, though never pursued any other education.

Pets: A big, shaggy dog named Rufus.

Others: Uhh... not that I can think of...

[Devabbi]

Name: Travis Louis Remeno

Nickname: None

Remeno Kid #2 (younger than Devon, older than the rest)

Birthdate: February 23

Job: Lead guitarist and back-up vocalist for a band called Zeries 3.

Race: Unidentifiable demon mix

Appearance:

If you're not looking closely at him from behind, he can come off looking like a girl. His hair is dirty blonde and waist-length, though it's the usual guy-ish thin. He keeps it tied back in a ponytail, and has been considering cutting it lately. His eyes are a violet color that most ladies like. He's tall and kinda lanky, with still wide shoulders that kind of throw off his look. He's got big feet though too, mainly because he's so tall. He's an inch taller than Devon, at 6'3", and weighs only 162 pounds. Skinny as he is, he still packs quite a punch in any fight. Unlike the rest of the Remenos, he has a slightly rounded nose, while most of his siblings have a somewhat pointed one. He also has more freckles than the rest of his siblings too.

Special Abilities: Like his brother, he has the ability to control fire. He's pretty good with it, though it's rarely used for more than lighting a cigarette. He has melted the flesh off of someone's face before though. Pretty nasty.

Personality: Travis has a low self-esteem issue, and is particularly self-loathing. He knows he's good at playing the guitar, but says that his singing just isn't that great. He's only had three or four girlfriends in his life, and thinks that he has something wrong with him because he can't seem to sweet-talk girls like his brother. Most of his self-esteem stems from his relationship with his brother. While he and Devon are close, Devon has always overshadowed him, and it's affected him. Still, he retains an outer appearance of an aloof and uncaring figure, pretending that he doesn't care when he really does. When it comes to those that he loves though, he's pretty protective and affectionate. He's good with kids too.

Strengths: Good with kids, a guitar prodigy, pretty good at drinking games, as well as poker, quick learner, and has an awesome poker face.

Weaknesses: Being told that his brother is better, feeling unloved and lonely, and beautiful women that know what they want.

Fears: Dying alone, never getting proper recognition from Tristan, never meeting his father, never having a relationship with his mother, dying from his abilities backfiring on him, and large bodies of water.

Family:
Parents - Lizi and Michael Duff
Brothers - Devon, Jadenn, Jesse, James, Dante, Syd, Kio
Sisters - Nare, Kerrin, Juliette, Ailyn
Kids - Kael (adopted), Kimi, Kian
Mate - Caden

Marital Status: Happily mated to Caden

History:
(I'll finish this later)

Education: Graduated, with honors, from high school.

Pets: None.

Others: He's never met his father and doesn't really care to. He's met his mother, but seems to hate her at the moment for giving him up. Therefore, he doesn't have much of a parental force aside from his uncle.

[Devabbi]

Name: Nare Bella Remeno

Remeno Kid #3

Birthdate: October 3

Race: Unidentifiable demon mix.

Job: Fashion designer/consultant

Appearance:

Nare has shoulder-length, dirty blonde hair that's fairly thin. She has red eyes that shift along with her mood. She has a very light complexion, and no freckles. She's always dressed sharply and with whatever's in fashion. She has one, brown jacket with yellow stripes, that is her favorite. It's Jason's... She's the tallest of the Remeno sisters, at 5'8", and weighs around 150 pounds. She's lean, but not unhealthy.

Special Abilities: She is the only one in her family who can control the element of Earth. She does so pretty well, and can cause minor earthquakes if she wants to. She can also sense earthquakes early on as well.

Personality: She's very independent and a little demanding. She was somewhat spoiled, being her mother's first daughter, and her father's first child. She's not too spoiled anymore, except when it comes to clothing. She's against any sort of intolerance, and won't hesitate to tell you if you're acting like a child. She's very motherly and affectionate all the same, and will sit you down and force you to tell her your problems. She's a good advice-giver, though sometimes she's a bit too forceful.

Strengths: Giving advice, throwing out orders, taking care of others, neglecting her own needs, and loving.

Weaknesses: Shutting up, knowing somebody's limits, seeing a child in danger, and feeling unloved or hopeless.

Family:
Parents - Lizi Remeno and Blaze Karuna
Brothers - Devon, Travis, Jadenn, Jesse, James, Dante, Syd
Sisters - Kerrin, Juliette, Ailyn
Kids - Ashton
Mate - Jason

Marital Status: Mated to Jason, somewhat happily (they fight a lot).

History:
(I'll finish this later)

Education: Died before she could graduate high school. When she came back, she got her G.E.D. and went into a fashion design school, coming out top of her class.

Pets: None.

Others: Nare hates not being able to hear anything. It drives her crazy, since she was in limbo for so long, and limbo has no sound. She usually has quiet music playing in the background, even when she sleeps.

[Devabbi]

Name: Jadenn Matthew Remeno

Remeno Kid #4

Birthdate: January 1

Job: Pediatrician

Race: Unidentifiable demon mix

Apperance: Jadenn has shaggy orange hair that hangs down a little past the collar of his shirts. He has soft brown eyes that are very kind, especially toward children. He's a little bigger than the majority of his brothers. His job keeps him busy and a little muscled, what with heaving kids to and from beds. He's very strong and it shows. He's 6'1", and 178 pounds of mostly muscle. He does have a bit of a gut though, as he loves to eat.

Special Abilities: He's a flame thrower, like Devon and Travis, though he probably uses his powers a little more than they do.

Personality: Jadenn's pretty much a regular joe. He's protective of his familiy, and a bit vengeful, but other than that, he's a pretty average, laid-back sort of guy. He's pretty charming, and has had a lot of offers because of his job status. Still, he's very loyal (except toward Nina). He's one of the few Remeno brothers that recognize Devon as their brother, and believes that love is thicker than blood. He's somewhat aloof, but still very caring about anyone that he's come into contact with.

Strengths: Working with kids, caring about people, his abilities, being the commanding force in a room, and has a great memory.

Weaknesses: He hates being alone.

Fears: Dying alone, dying without ever having kids, having any children of his taken away from him, being an incapable father...

Family:
Parents - Lizi Remeno and Charlie Mastros
Brothers - Devon, Travis, Jesse, James, Dante, Syd, Kio
Sisters - Nare, Kerrin, Juliette, Ailyn
Kids - Jade, Zoe, Blaine, Dustin
Mate - Ella

Marital Status: Happily mated to Ella.

(I'll finish this when I feel like it...)

Pets: None.

Others: None.

[Devabbi]

Name: Jesse Wayne Remeno

Remeno Kid #5

Birthdate: September 6

Job: General of Defense of the Yellow Rose Territories

Race: Unidentifiable demon mix

Apperance:

Jesse stands at 6' exactly, with a large, wide-shouldered build that has plenty of muscle to polish it off. He has sharp blue eyes and jet black hair that's a little shaggy but still short enough to be able to shake out of his eyes. He's pretty damn muscled, being a disciplined soldier. He usually carries a knife or two on him. He doesn't really feel comfortable with shirts on, instead preferring them off. He'll wear one if he has to.

Special Abilities: Surprisingly, he got the short end of the stick, and was stuck with basic telekinesis and telepathy. He can somewhat read auras too.

Personality: He's pretty much war-oriented. His first thoughts go to an attack, and defending against that attack, should a very small threat be detected. He's a fighter, through and through, as he was born the smallest of his siblings. He hates being called weak or little, though when it comes to emotions, he is. He likes to be around other soldiers, to swap stories and things of that nature. He's a man's man, and he likes to prove it in whatever means he can. He's fiercely protective of his family and especially those he holds dear to him. He's also very much the jealous type, as the green-eyed monster likes to rear its ugly head with him pretty often.

Strengths: Anything to do with the military, fighting, and arguing.

Weaknesses: Anything to do with warm emotions.

Fears: Dying without honor, being weak, and being a coward.

Family:
Parents - Lizi Remeno and Blaze Karuna
Brothers - Travis, Jadenn, James, Dante, Syd (Devon and Kio purposely left out)
Sisters - Nare, Kerrin, Juliette, Ailyn
Kids - Emily
Mate - None (Eventually Mia)

Marital Status: Single for now

(I'll finish this when I feel like it...)

Others: None.

[Devabbi]

Name: Juliette Tallulah Remeno

Nickname: Jules

Remeno Kid #6

Birthdate: September 6

Job: Unemployed

Race: Unidentifiable demon mix

Apperance:

Young Juliette - Long brown hair that hung to her lower back, with bright green eyes and a small brush of freckles. She had a healthy tan and a healthy weight. At 5'4", she was nearly 124 pounds. She looked happy.
Juliette Now - Juliette doesn't look so good. She's unnaturally thin, very drawn and pale. If she was healthy, she'd be pretty, but she's just not healthy. Her hair falls limply to her shoulders and is a light brown. Her eyes are a listless green, with little bags beneath them. She slouches a lot, but if she stands up straight, she's nearly 5'4". She weighs a mere 97 pounds though, and does look it. She's skin-and-bones. She has a lot of scars on the crook of her elbow as well.

Special Abilities: She never uses them, but she has the ability to control the wind (aerokinesis).

Personality:
Young Juliette - Spunky, enthusiastic, and lively, she was a very funny girl. She loved practical jokes and making fun of people, but it was all in good humor. She never liked to hurt anyone's feelings or put people down. She was a good person, and got good grades. She was proud of herself, and had pretty high self esteem. She loved her family and thought nothing would ever change.
Juliette Now - Listless, withdrawn, and zombie-like, she's a very tired girl. She hates joking around, and feels that everything should be taken seriously if meant that way. She likes to put people down to get her way. She makes herself the bigger, stronger person, if she can. She's still very weak and knows that she should be careful with what she does, and is often submissive. If she gains the upper hand, you're in trouble though.

Strengths:
Young Juliette - Giving people good advice, making people laugh, pulling off grand practical jokes, getting good grades, and staying on peoples' good sides.
Juliette Now - Weaseling her way into someone's wallet, stealing, shooting up, lying, acting innocent, being completely submissive in order to get what she wants.

Weaknesses:
Young Juliette - Almost nothing. She just hated intolerance of any kind, and was quite an active speaker against it.
Juliette Now - Drugs.

Fears: Death, becoming pregnant, never being able to stop, and accidentally killing herself.

Family:
Parents - Lizi Remeno and Blaze Karuna
Brothers - Devon, Travis, Jadenn, Jesse, James, Dante, Syd, Kio
Sisters - Nare, Kerrin, Ailyn
Kids - None
Mate - None

Marital Status: Has an abusive boyfriend named Darren.

History:
(I'll finish this when I feel like it...)

Education: Never even graduated high school. Dropped out halfway through her senior year.

Pets: None.

Others: She's extremely addicted to heroin, and it is a very touchy subject for her.

[Devabbi]

Name: Kerrin Alexis Remeno

Remeno Kid #7

Birthdate: September 6

Job: Full-time mother of four kids, as well as a bartenderess for the Yellow Rose Tavern.

Race: Unidentifiable demon mix.

Apperance:

She's still pretty muscled from her fighting days, as well as from having four kids to pick up and put down all the time. She's got sharp blue eyes like Jesse's, and long curly black hair that hangs to her lower back. It's usually up though, to keep it out of the way. She has a brush of freckles across her nose, and a light complexion. She's thin and lithe, though having four kids has forced some more curve to her hips and bust. She also has a few worry lines on her forehead.

Special Abilities: She can control the element of water. She doesn't use it often, but it comes in handy during floods.

Personality: She's often very irritable from lack of sleep, or just plain tiredness. She loves her children and her family, and she's extremely vengeful toward anyone trying to harm them. She's easily angered, with a very quick temper. However, you only have to overpower her once for her to be completely submissive towards you. That, or she has to respect you. It takes a lot to get her respect though. In her younger days, she was very flirtatious. Sometimes she is now as well, though not as much. She has bigger things to worry about. She's a bit of an overbearing mother, but she tries as hard as she can not to shelter her children.

Strengths: Midwifing, taking care of her kids, babysitting, holding onto a kid and three drinks at the same time, multitasking, fighting, and cleaning.

Weaknesses: Seeing children hurt, seeing anyone hurt, and her children.

Fears: Her children never needing her once they move out, never finding her true mate, and one of her children dying.

Family:
Parents - Lizi Remeno and Blaze Karuna
Brothers - Devon, Travis, Jadenn, Jesse, James, Dante, Syd, Kio
Sisters - Nare, Juliette, Ailyn

History:
(Will finish later)

Education: Graduated high school, but didn't have time to continue on to college.

Pets: None

Others: Kerrin would love to get back into the fighting ring, but with her four kids holding her back, she just can't. She's also a bit gun-shy when it comes to relationships.

[Devabbi]

Name: James Taylor Remeno

Nickname: Jimmy (only to his brother)

Remeno Kid #8

Birthdate: September 6

Job: Biochemist (He's also been a naked chef ^^)

Apperance:

James looks pretty cute at the first glance, and is just generally handsome in his own way at the second one. He has shaggy blonde hair that he doesn't like to cut. He's got very light green eyes that are pretty sharp, but hidden by silver wire-framed glasses that he's forced to wear because of his nearsightedness. He's rather tall, standing at 6'2", over his brother. He's 186 pounds too, since his brother coaxed him into the army with him. He's most comfortable in a pair of slacks and a nice shirt, just lounging.

Special Abilities: He's a florakinetic, which means that he can control, speak to, and ask for the aid of plants. Kind of nerdy, but he likes it well enough.

Personality: He's very shy. He hasn't been able to meet very many girls in his lifetime, aside from his overbearing sisters. He's decided that he wants someone who's a little overbearing but not like Kerrin at all. He's pretty damn smart, having nearly 30 years of schooling under his belt to get to where he is. He's mildly protective of his family and those that he holds dear, but he's very cautious as well. He can't really get close to anyone unless he lets himself in. He hates arguing, as he's really no good at it. Still, he'll put up an okay fight if he really believes in something.

Strengths: Anything to do with schooling, intellect, or biochemistry. He's also a damn good cook.

Weaknesses: Girls, and fighting.

Fears: Never being as good as Jesse.

Family:
Parents - Lizi Remeno and Blaze Karuna
Brothers - Devon, Travis, Jadenn, Jesse, Dante, Syd, Kio
Sisters - Nare, Kerrin, Juliette, Ailyn

[Devabbi]

Name: Dante Ryan Remeno

Remeno Kid #9

Birthdate: July 19

Job: Architect

Race: Unidentifiable demon mix

Apperance:

Dante has blood-red shaggy hair that curls a bit at the ends. His eyes are violet, like Travis'. He's a bit tall, standing at 6'1". He weighs nearly 167 pounds, and has a considerable amount of muscle. Enough to where it shows, but not enough to really shock anyone. He's of an average build. He usually wears a crooked, mischievous grin that means trouble for anyone he's showing it to.

Special Abilities: He can control electricity, electrokinesis.

Personality: Dante is a bit over-bearing, and rather cautious. Still, he'll dog after what he wants until he gets it. He's a very determined man. He's careful about choosing what he wants though, and will carefully look before he even goes after whatever it is. He used to be somewhat of a playboy, and a sweet-talker. He was also a drug addict, though he's gotten out of that funk now, and is very much changed. He's very protective of his kids, and his mate, and should anyone try to harm them, they'd be getting a good facefull of fist. He's definitely the jealous type, and tends to jump to conclusions when he sees something that he doesn't like.

Strengths: Kids, lying, avoiding certain people, and drawing.

Weaknesses: Drugs, any sort of temptation, and jealousy.

Fears: Losing Maria, Marcus being taken away, and Gina winning.

Family:

[Devabbi]

Name: Sydney Alexander Remeno

Nickname: Syd

Remeno Kid #9

Birthdate: July 19

Job: Computer repairman/hacker

Race: Unidentifiable demon mix.

Apperance:

Syd has short-cropped blonde hair, and violet eyes like his brother. Unlike his brother, he has to wear glasses because he is nearsighted. Also unlike his brother, he's only 6'0", and weighs just a little over 148 pounds. He's pretty light-set for a Remeno, lithe and lanky, but it's from a lack of exercise. He's not toned, but he isn't a soft little weakling either. He may be thin, but he's still solid from a good metabolism and yoga classes. Yes he takes yoga. You got a problem with that?

Special Abilities: As if anyone would ever want this power... he can turn into a puff of smoke. Woo.

Personality: Syd is kind of like Jesse. He's smart, and he's shy. Once he's broken out of his shell, he can be quite the little snit though. He'll always fight for dominance, though he'll go submissive if he knows he's done something wrong. He's extremely loyal, and would never think of betraying anyone. He sticks close to those that love him, his theory being that he'll never find anyone else to do the job for them. He's very quiet, and some people have called him gay because he hasn't had many girlfriends. Still, he is very straight. He did have an S&M faze though...

Strenghts: Computers, intellect, smart bantering, and music.

Weaknesses: Girls, relationships, actual emotions.

Fears: Dying alone, never having children, having his children taken away from him, and (god forbid) his computer crashing xD.

Family:
Parents - Lizi Remeno and Blaze Karuna
Brothers - Devon, Travis, Jadenn, Jesse, James, Dante, Kio
Sisters - Nare, Kerrin, Juliette, Ailyn
Kids - Sophia
Mate - Tilla

Marital Status: Mated to Tilla (albeit a little roughly)

(...)

Education: Graduated from high school, with honors, and went on to graduate with a major in computer technology and a minor in digital art.

Pets: None

Others: None

[Devabbi]

Name: Ailyn Marie Remeno

Remeno Kid #10

Birthdate: April 4

Job: Mechanic

Race: Unidentifiable demon mix

Appearance:

Ailyn has blood-red hair like Dante's, though her eyes are a deep blue. She has more freckles than most of her siblings, except for Travis. She keeps her hair cut short enough to put it in little bobs of pigtails. She's pretty short, standing at only 5'3". She's also pretty round, as she's 149 pounds. She likes her body though, thinking that she's that illustrious curving muscle that every guy secretly dreams about when the Barbies aren't in the room. She's the only overweight one in her family, though it doesn't seem to bother her.

Special Abilities: She can heal other people with just a touch, though it takes plenty of effort and often wipes her out.

Personality: She's very independent, and likes to be alone. Still, once she falls for someone, she falls hard and becomes a little clingy. She likes to feel loved, and she's pretty good at getting that love. Who couldn't love that face? She's very smart though. She has to be, to know how to do her job, and to properly heal people. She likes to take care of people, and is rather motherly. Still, she has a pretty short temper and won't hesitate to tell you if you're being a dumbass. She doesn't tolerate stupidity at all, and won't encourage it. If someone just doesn't know something though, she won't bother with them. She's very playful though, and loves games, especially ones that involve kisses and that sort of thing. She's pretty flirtatious, especially when she's dressed up. Still, her ego could use a serious boost.

Strengths: Cars, caring for people, loving unconditionally, and being a mother.

Weaknesses: Getting angry, and getting jealous.

Fears: Derecko walking out.

Family:
Parents - Lizi Remeno and Tito from Tijuana
Brothers - Devon, Travis, Jadenn, Jesse, James, Dante, Syd, Kio
Sisters - Nare, Kerrin, Juliette
Kids - Aidan
Mate - Derecko

Marital Status: Rockily mated to Derecko

History:
(_)_)

Education: Graduated high school.

Pets: Unless you count her cars... none.

Other: None.

[Devabbi]

Name: Kio Darren Remeno

Remeno Kid #11

Birthdate: May 24

Job: Professional fighter

Race: Unidentifiable demon mix

Apperance: Kio has long-ish, dark blue hair that hangs into his eyes. He doesn't bother to tie it back. He has dark, cold blue eyes as well. He looks a bit beaten up at almost all times, but most wounds are minor. He's a fan of leather jackets and jeans, and usually wears them just walking around. He's got quite a bit of muscle, about Jesse's size now. He has a sexy, sultry look about him that almost gives off a sort of magnetic effect.

Special Abilities: He has the same healing abilities as Ailyn does, though he's a lot less experienced with it.

Personality: Cold, calculated, and even a little cruel, he's not afraid to kill. He was trained by his father who had little experience in the area of praise, so all he wants to do is hear that one little "good job, son", and he'll strive to get it by any means possible. He's very guarded, and doesn't really like relationships. They're too messy. However, he does like no-strings-attached sex, which brought him closer to Aya. Still, he's pretty good at ignoring people. He doesn't really have any sense of shame. Though he rarely shows it, he's afraid of being left alone. He hates being alone, but he forces himself to live with it. Another thing he rarely shows is that he's pretty creative, his brother Devon's influence coming out in him.

Strengths: Fighting and ignoring people.

Weaknesses: Pretty girls, damsels in distress, going after something he knows he can't get, and ignorance.

Fears: Forever being alone, failure, and being caged in.

Family:
Parents - Lizi Remeno and Ace
Brothers - Devon, Travis, Jadenn, Jesse, James, Dante, Syd
Sisters - Nare, Kerrin, Juliette, Ailyn
Kids - None
Mate - None yet

Marital Status: Forcibly single.

History:

Education: Graduated high school.

Pets: None

Other: None

[Devabbi]

Name: Virginia

Nickname: Ginny

Birthdate: October 12

Job: Tattoo artist

Race: Demon/earth elf

Appearance: Light cocoa skin, bright orange eyes, and indigo hair that's a fussy mop of waves and frizz. She's about 5'4" and cutely curvaceous, though has a flat belly. Has several piercings and tattoos and loves the practice of getting more. She has a heart-shaped face that can perform a killer pout. Pair that with some impressive cleavage and she can usually get what she wants for free.

Special Abilities: She's a witch with a specialty in necromancy. At her age, she's rather powerful as well, though she's usually too good-natured to use anything but white magic. Having an affinity for the dead has its perks - when she meditates, she can go to hell or limbo, and can speak easily with ghosts. Unfortunately, she sometimes forgets that she has that particular ability, and talks to ghosts without realizing they're ghosts. Also, being part earth elf, she can occasionally focus on it and cause earthquakes or move rocks.

Personality: Bubbly, happy, and flirtatious. She loves people, she loves to talk, and people often tell her that she'd be better off as a hair dresser than a tattoo artist. She has an incredible artistic eye and can pair people off with a tattoo that they love, or draw something original for them. Talkative as she is, it's usually superficial things that she talks about, and she is secretive as well. She doesn't tell people about her past, and very few people know about her abilities. She has occasional angsty bouts of depression where she thinks her life is going nowhere, usually after she sees one of her cousins. She's a problem-solver, though this is usually applied to social problems. She hates computers. As good-natured and happy as she is, she has a fascination with magic and death, and can occasionally get really creepy about it.

Strengths: Ignoring the real problems in her life, flirting to get free stuff.

Weaknesses: Babies. She's kind of maternal, and with no siblings or children of her own, she loves babies. They're her achilles heel.

Fears: She hates being alone and fears death.

Family:
Parents - Bryan and an unnamed earth elf
Cousins - All the Remeno kids
Siblings - Ryan

Marital Status: Dates around a lot, never really goes past the second or third date. She's picky.

History: What possessed Bryan to bed an elf and have a child is never discussed, though the two were at one time very close. What possessed him to have a second child is also unknown, though Virginia is pretty sure it was mainly for her. She was born a century before her aunt ever had kids to begin with, and her mother died in childbirth. She was raised on the road with her father, and he educated her better than any school would have at that day and age. She was very much a daddy's girl growing up, though they began to drift apart once she realized how many rotten things he'd done. She can't help her father-daughter love though, and this unfortunately pitted a lot of her cousins against her, especially after Bryan killed his sister a few years ago. In efforts to redeem herself, she was the one that brought back Nare. As a result, the two were very close for a long time, though they drifted apart.

In recent times, she's settled into the city nicely and lives with her brother. She owns her own house, as necromancy was a very lucrative business about a century ago and she made quite a fortune. She works at the tattoo parlor downtown, and basically just lives her life as she sees fit. She hasn't seen her father in many years, and she mourns that fact. She misses him. The only person in her family that she talks to anymore is her uncle Tristan, simply because he's forgiving enough.

Education: Home-schooled, reads a lot

Pets: Used to have a horned fire lizard named Pete, but he died a few years ago.

[Devabbi]

Name: Ryan

Birthdate: February 3

Job: Mechanic/musician

Race: Demon/drow

Appearance: Darker skin than Virginia with more of a purplish tint, with red eyes and white hair. He's 5'9" and 160 pounds, kind of heavyset and looks like he could throw a mean punch. His face looks mean too, though really, it was just born that way. He's got a square jaw, a low-set brow, and a permanent scowl. He manages to sometimes pull it off and seem handsome though. He's constantly got dirt and grease under his nails and his short hair rarely looks like it was combed that morning. He generally doesn't care about his appearance, except for his tattoos, all of which are Virginia Originals. Dirty as his hands are, they're very skilled and nimble.

Special Abilities: Can see in the dark and manipulate shadows

Personality: Guarded, sometimes manipulative, and cold, Ryan is not a people person like his sister. He likes hard machinery and cold metal better than a warm person any day, and loves things that can't talk - like dogs. He's got a soft spot for kids, but only because Virginia makes him. He loves his sister and is as protective as they come, regardless of the fact that she's older and can more than take care of herself. He's dedicated and very smart, and can usually pick up a new skill in a matter of days, especially if it makes him use his hands. Is also a functioning alcoholic. The only thing that he's ever wanted is a family.

Strengths: Ignoring people, fixing things, making music, singing

Weaknesses: His sister's pouting routine

Fears: Virginia dying before he does

Family:
Parents - Bryan and Matilda
Cousins - the Remeno kids
Sister - Virginia

Marital Status: Hasn't had a date in two years, hasn't gotten laid in longer. Poor guy. Virginia is constantly trying to set him up on blind dates, though it's the one thing he can usually deny her.

History: Bryan only had another child because Virginia wanted a little brother, and what Virginia wanted, she got. Bryan made sure that Ryan knew this, though his mother wasn't much better. As a drow, she wasn't real big on affection. The only comfort he ever got out of his mother was when she was feeling amiable and would let him sit in her lap as she sang. She disappeared when he was six years old, and he found that he didn't really miss her.

Virginia took care of him from then on, since Bryan seemed reluctant to do it. If Bryan was ever angry at Ryan, Virginia would easily diffuse the situation with a cute pout at her father. Ryan realized what their father did for a living long before Virginia did, though didn't have the heart to tell her. She didn't notice him drifting away from the family until she found out about Bryan's past times, shortly after which she latched onto her brother again. Because he pretty much hates his father, he's more accepted by his cousins, though they still hold him at arm's length.

Recently, he moved in with Virginia to keep either of them from getting lonely. He's started a band, though there are plenty of clashing personalities within it and it doesn't look good for them. He gets along very well with Devon, though Travis doesn't like him at all.

Education: He was allowed to sit in on Virginia's lessons, though she usually had to explain things in-depth for him later.

Pets: Two rottweilers named Daisy and Precious, who love him and Virginia, but hate everyone else.

Other: He writes all the songs that he sings, and is very good at it. Is also very good at welding sculptures, though he'd never sell them. Those are his only creative sides and they're usually very secretive.
