Searching...History/Wraith...Found.

The beginning of the Wraiths was more or less of necessity. Their origins, on the planet Setryl, are based from the fact that the planet had a much more active spiritual web than others, which would deteriorate a physical body faster than a lower frequency web. So, as time progressed, the humanoid creatures became more and more centered in the spiritual realm, as well. After a short period of unrest, a monarchy was established.

The first king of Setryl, Izual Tensor, propelled the race into an economic and architectural revolution. Over the time of his reign, many tools and abilities were developed, which include the material of their Setryl Garb, which, through physical and spiritual binding, is nearly impervious to all natural elements, and the ability to become corporeal, usually in the form of a humanoid creature, so as to not arouse suspicion of their character. Thusly, the income of Setryl was enormous; very few limits provided the resources to fund an army, eventually leading to Setryl's downfall.

Three hundred years after King Izual's coronation, a small group of Wraiths, wary of the King growing into more of a dictator than a leader, led an assault on the castle, in hopes of assassinating Izual. The leader of this assassination squad deemed it 'Spectres.' This name stuck, and was used through history as what to call exiled Wraiths. Due to the successful assassination of Izual, social unrest gave way to civil war, forcing a small amount of Wraiths to flee the planet Setryl, and look for a new, less dangerous home.

Those who fled Setryl were greeted with a new planet. Scouting the area, they found many physical life forms, known as humans. However, if these humans were to find out about their existence as otherworldly lifeforms, there would be countless acts of persecution. To amend this, is was decreed that New Setryl would teach the ability to mimic humanoid form. Following isolationist policies, a perpetual sandstorm was set around the village...Buildings were built using the special architectural principles founded long ago, and a barrier was set around the town square. Due to the link they still had to the planet Setryl, the inhabitants of New Setryl grew farther from genuine physical forms, making their spirits much stronger. Under the barrier around the village square, many things grew, including Setryl Tree, which is nearly impervious by physical and spiritual realm...And the water that ran was spiritually rich, providing a healing factor to it.

Uraj Reyn Birthright was born to a Saiyou Birthright and Jessica Cithe, June 20. Due to complications in the process, Jessica Cithe died two days later...

After an uneventful two years, human archaeologist Iria Artha found her way through the perpetual sandstorm. She was met with wonder, awe, but, above all, discrimination. The Birthright household took her in, and, shortly after, on September 19th, she bore a daughter. Her name was Kiku. Again, days later, Iria died...

At the age of six, Saiyou Birthright and his son, Uraj Birthright, left the village of New Setryl, after Uraj's training in the Amitril style demanded it. Shortly thereafter, they found an abandoned girl of four years, with the name of Fillia Alexander. Saiyou decided to teach the girl, with his son, the Amitril style. Both children picked the style up unnaturally fast, even with the constant fleeing from persecution at the hands of humans.

Upon visiting a village near a shrine to further the training in the Amitril style, Saitou and Uraj Birthright, with now six year-old Fillia Alexander, were detained and arrested for falsified crimes. This was mainly due to Fillia sympathizing with a race that was other than human. The three managed to fight most of the oppressors off, yet Fillia was knocked unconscious and carted away. Uraj and Saiyou searched for as long as they were able, but couldn't find her, and thus returned to New Setryl. Here, Uraj easily completed the training in Amitril style, and moved on to countless others, all the while following the policy of New Setryl, and learning how to be what he was, by the Elders' wise words, apt enough to do...Blacksmithing.

And a successor tournament is starting. Every ten years, a tournament is held to see who the next teacher of martial arts will be. Those who can pass the tests and defeat their opponents will become the next teacher...Uraj enters this tournament in the hopes of defeating his father, and finally reaches the fated match...Both swords cross, and the fight began! Utilizing everything he learned over the 'twelve' years of his life, he fought brazenly and to the death, defeating his father and becoming rightful heir to the fighting styles of the ages. Saiyou's last will was for Uraj to "...Understand the will of the blade, and listen to it...as it will be your wisest friend in the years to come..." Uraj had finished his training as a blacksmith, and quickly moved to Spiritual Defense and Magic training, by this time.

Uraj has become very protective of his half-human sister, Kiku. Even in his own village, persecution was found, as Kiku was disallowed access to many clubs and cliques because of her mother's heritage. These simple bans escalated into violence, until a boy named Kairo Saraien hit Kiku with a punch that sent her sprawling. Uraj saw this...and swiftly slew the oppressor. This led to his eventual exile, and his fall into the title of Spectre. Earlier that year, Uraj finished his training as a Sage, and mastered the most complex of Spirit Defense abilities, which includes the Rho Aias. He wandered the wilderness until he was found...and then quickly arrested after being caught stealing food. In the prison confines, he met a fifteen year-old boy named Seth Marquis, son of the leader of the mercenary group, White Fang. The White Fang took him into their care after Seth and Uraj broke out of prison(due to the no less than flawless handiwork of Uraj), and they grew up together as brothers for the next three years. Every now and then, he'd return to New Setryl.

On orders from an unnamed country's government, Uraj and Seth departed to extract data from another country's underground testing facility(Country names discarded for classified purposes). They were also ordered to destroy the facility after the fact. However, they were caught, and, on orders, Uraj detonated explosives planted in the facility with Seth still inside. It was this order that caused Uraj to go awol, ceasing communications with the White Fang.

Uraj's return to New Setryl is not a happy one. After pressing through the perpetual sandstorm, he found, to his disgust, that all of his brethren, including Kiku, have been either killed or stripped of their souls. Without their souls, the physical bodies they created still existed as shells...which were strewn about as if they were toys. Over the next week, he painstakingly built graves for each of them...except his sister, whom he placed in stasis and vowed to avenge her...

Uraj meets MSF. An archangel names Hadriel, after being corrupted by Master of Shadows and placed in the body of a young girl, remembers herself as a 'Kiku.' Her striking similarities in attitude and looks caused Uraj to ask MoS for help in restoring his sister. Come to find out, the demon that slew the village of New Setryl was slain by MoS, and the souls that were taken were now in his possession. When Kiku was restored, albeit without her memories, she began to date Kuruke.
Soon thereafter, Uraj married a Sakura Fontis, and after that, it was discovered that two others survived the New Setryl Massacre. Atrithk Sevirn and Reyth Dreid, two female Wraiths, finally found Uraj after two years of searching. Atrithk, a Secondary Defense Specialist, and Reyth, an Apothecary, both look up to and adore Uraj, even though he was very...flirtatious towards other women. To find more information about Kiku, before this time, he became an assassin, and worked for that information.

*~Dates are not historically accurate. It should be noted that via Setryllian time, eighty years is the equivalent to one earth year, which this was cataloged under.

Miscellaneous
It should be noted that Setryl and New Setryl have a passage of time that is different than the passage of Earth Time. Carbon based lifeforms deteriorate at a much faster rate in these places. Enter with caution.

A marksman and pilot(of craft of his own design), but very bad with a bow, Uraj is a cynical, arrogant 'person,' with a near-hatred for humanity. It could be argued that he is jealous of what they have that he doesn't, but this would be debated back, as Wraiths' emotions are but constructs.

Age: 19
Hair color: Deep red
Eye Color: Red
Race: Human
Description:
Ebony armored wyvern knight from an eastern country. Two years ago, Uraj killed an entire platoon, allowing this deserter, and his sister, to escape. In truth, Zeiss's sister, Melody, talked Zeiss into deserting the army with her, when she found out about the immoral things their country was doing. Zeiss is the Prince of Bern, who, discovering his father's insanity, decided wholeheartedly that he would rebel. His coronation has not happened yet, and his father lay dead by his hands. He has a sort of admiration for flying, and has taken a particular interest in Helel Omega. His body is also inhabited by the spirit of his late mother, Hellene.



Melody Ymir
Age: 22
Hair color: Deep Red
Eye Color: One red and one green
Race: Human
Description:
Crimson armored female wyvern knight, from an eastern militant country. Two years ago, she deserted the country's army with her brother, prompting a platoon to follow them. In the name or morality and honor, Melody stood up against this platoon, but Uraj killed them all before Melody had a chance to fight. She has a strong admiration for justice, and, when she searched for her brother, took a peculiar liking to the dragon-girl, Jayme.

Abilities
In addition to the abnormal ability to jump to large heights and skewer their enemies, the Ymir siblings have added abilities, honed through years of training and practice.

Dragon Talon - A quick thrust with his lance or sword, accompanied with a short retreat. (Land)

Dragon Claw - A thrust with a lance or sword, with an upward or downward motion to throw the enemy, using the momentum of flight. (Air)

Dragon Wing - Acrobatic spinning attack in which the enemy is lacerated multiple times with the tip of a lance or sword, ending with a lightning quick thrust.

Dragon Shear - Energy is channeled through the user's weapon and is released in the form of a vertical spinning attack. This sends an enemy into the air before jumping after them, lacerating much like Dragon Wing, and ending with a vicious thrust of their weapon, accompanied,upon impact on solid ground, with an explosion of ki. (Melody - Limit)

Liberi - Temporary increase in strength, focus, and speed as a result of an inner spirit sharing control. In Zeiss' case, Hellene casts a Lightning or Holy spell just before this wears off. (Zeiss - Limit)

Wil/Fujin Sain Birthright
Age: 1, (Oct. 23), 19(Time travel)
Hair Color: Blue(Long when Fujin)
Eye Color: Crimson
Race: Angel/Wraith.
Description: Son of Uraj Birthright and Sakura Fontis. Despite Sakura's small body, Wil is a genuine tank, standing at 6'3". He was raised with his half brother and half sister Kougetsu and Rebecca, though by his mother, only. Uraj disappeared when he was two, so he never really knew his father, outside what Sakura, Kumi, and Hosaki told him. He recently married Kira. >_>; His inherited souls are from his father: Tyrael and Forlorn, and haven't been released, as they should be in two years. Since neither Hosaki nor Sakura were particularly good at magic, yet alone the control of the energies a Wraith has, his control over spiritual energy is lacking; so much so that, sometimes, when he sneezes, a spell is accidentally cast.

Atrithk Sevirn
Age: 22(approximate age 1700~1800)
Hair color: Dark Pink
Eye Color: Pink(Gray when energy is channeled)
Race: Wraith
An energetic girl; the eldest living female Wraith from New Setryl. She has an odd knack for getting herself into trouble, and is a self-proclaimed expert in hand-to-hand combat. She uses dual katar in said combat, and isnt' afraid to get her hands dirty. Recently, she has been noted to search for "Boomies," or making them herself. Mimicry, it is said, is the purest form of flattery(hint).

[Anamnesis]

Those who have lived long enough to witness more than one fighting form of Uraj's are truly lucky, for he is known to be ruthless to the point of nigh-genocide in battle. The listed here are only a few of his attack forms. Though he has recently seemed to fade into obscurity, the styles he has used have been ceaselessly studied and attempted replications have cropped up in across the globe.

Setryllian Wind ~~ Blade of the Everstorm
Katana style, L/x
Utilizing speed unmatched by even the fiercest parts of nature, Uraj easily sweeps around the battlefield, lightning quick strikes being the bane of anything that moves. This style has been likened to the eternal sandstorm that rages about New Setryl, for every slash is like the bitter sting of sand striking exposed flesh.

Switch Wind ~~ The Blade That Tears Asunder
Katana style, x/R
While slower than Setryllian Wind, the Switch Wind style tends to elude the defenses of an enemy. For this reason, Switch and Setryllian Wind forms are varied, so as to apply as much pressure tothe enemy as possible.

Crash Blade ~~ Rolling Tides
Heavy Blade style, !/!
With both hands gripping a blade meant for two, he slashes and crashes upon enemies in long, sweeping strokes, much akin to the tide rolling in after an off-shore earthquake. The strokes tend to leave him open, yet it is impeccable for dealing with many foes.

Brutal Cleaver ~~ The Shattered-Moon Blade
Axe style ~~ !/!
Crushing blows with a great axe, held with both hands. Like the Crash Blade form, his defenses are easily broken -- If the enemy manages to keep its mangled limbs intact.

Silence ~~ Night Bloom
Long range style ~~ !/!
A great marksman in his own right, Uraj can find ways of never letting his enemy get close through conventional(and sometimes not so conventional) weaponry, including guns and, in this particular form, sniper rifles. This particular rifle form uses a three foot long barrel and small caliber ammunition, for accuracy over stopping power, so he may ensure his position is secured and reduce recoil as much as possible.

Twin Souls ~ Buffeting Hail
Mid range style ~~ x/R, L/x, L/R
Adaptable handgun form, which can(and usually is) used with any single hand(R/x, L/x) form, to provide extra stopping power with which to immobilize the enemy.
In this form, the guns most commonly used are needle-loaded. This mechanism plunges needles into the enemy, cauterizing the skin around entry, even pinning enemies to the ground or walls in the process.
