In a cataclysm known as the Nightfall, the worlds were almost completely destroyed by a harrowing surge of darkness.
In the shadows of the ensuing chaos a new group has taken shape. Led by an Aegyl named Kalos, the 11th Hour touts an esoteric knowledge of how to combat the darkness and restore the worlds. They might be the worlds’ best chance at survival; but nobody really knows enough about them to confirm or deny their claims.
On the brink of collapse, the universe holds its breath in anticipation. Of restoration? Of destruction? It is up to individuals like yourself to decide.

Name: Ethan Jacob Armer Nickname(optional): Just Ethan. Any variations and he might just kill you...
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Species: Human/Avian. Has wings
Position: Good
Powers: Ethan is what some people may call a freak. He has beautiful, slender wings, 14 foot from tip to tip. A Telepath, so he can hear people's thoughts, and his senses are incredibly heightened after the loss of his sight.
Weapon: Ethan's main weapon is a long, wooden staff, when used along with his martial arts, is pretty deadly. He can also despatch most people with punches and kicks.
Picture(optional):
Appearance: When you look at Ethan, he is like any other teenager. His longish brown hair, brown eyes and face would make a girl stop dead an stare. He knows he is good looking, even though he hasn't seen his face in many years. He is about 6ft and only weighs 85lbs, due to his bird-like bones.
His eyes are like anyone else's, so you wouldn't know he was blind first up. They are slightly unfocused around the edges of the irises. If you look closely into his eyes, you will see that they cannot. Close up, they are milky and unseeing.
The reason behind his weight is because of his 14 foot Wingspan. His body has some avian aspects, which makes his bones lighter. His body is filled with small air sacs, which make his whole body lighter, so its easier for him to fly.
Ethan doesn't have a particular dress style. He just wears whatever clothes he has in his wardrobe. He was never into cliques. You'll usually find him with jeans, T-shirt and trainers. For parties he will wear smarter stuff, but being blind, he doesn't care what he looks like.
His wings are magnificent. 14 foot from tip to tip, they really are striking. The main body of feathers are a hazel colour, with darker flecks in some places. The outer, bigger feathers are a lot darker. The ones closest to his back (where the wings are connected) are a very light brown, almost white tinge. When he is flying, it would take most people's breaths away.
Likes: Flying - Well Duh! Partying - Although Blind, Ethan is one great partier Drinking - Well, what self respecting 17/18 year wouldn't like boose? Girls - Although he can't see them, he can feel them *wink wink* Music - A Great passion of Ethan's Guitar - He's an awesome Guitarist Girls - Girls seem to like a blind guy.... Humour - He loves cracking jokes. He doesn't know what it is, but he is naturally funny. Singing - He's a great singer Girls - Yeah, girls are niiiiice... Lounging - In bed, in the sun, anywhere, Ethan is one laid back person. Pranks - One hell of a prankster. Shame he can't see the faces of those he tricks.
Dislikes: Being Constrained - He hates being tied up, not being able to fly or move around etc. Drugs - He loves parties, but hates the drugs. Bullies - They're pathetic. Sympathizers - People who pity his blindness. He gets along fine, so why should they worry? Helpers - People who think he can't do anything and try to help him Stoppers - People who think he can't do anything and make him not do it. Art - He can't draw. Not particularly a bad thing, seeing as he can't see pictures anyway, or colours. Dance - He has two left feet when it comes to dancing. Crowds - Gets lost easily in crowds, because he can't feel or hear where he's going.
Personality: Ethan is an extremely friendly person. He pretty much likes everyone, except those who think they're better than everyone else.
His greatest passion in life is flying. Because of his wings, he can pretty much go anywhere he wants without too much hassle. He loves swooping and soaring through the clouds, being so free. One of the greatest thrills in life is to just fold in your wings (if you have them), and simply fall a couple of thousand feet, before snapping out your wings and taking off again. So much fun to see (sense if your blind....) the ground rushing up to meet you.
Apart from flying, he likes just hanging out, playing music and being with his sister. They have been inseparable since the moment the moment they were born. They have always been able to tell what the other was thinking, even without being telepaths, having a special connection. Although Ethan hasn't seen Kathryn's face in 13 years, he can sense what it looks like, being so familiar to his own.
Sometimes, he does get angry. He gets frustrated about not being able to see, especially what people look like. Although, over the years, he doesn't really care what people looked like, only how they acted and how they treated him.
He doesn't care what he looks like, being that he can't see in a mirror anyway. He doesn't go after girls because of their looks. He goes after them for personality, and how friendly they are.
History/Background: The story began 21 years earlier, when two 17 year olds met. Leon Armer and Aleisha Beckett. They instantly fell for each other and started dating a few months after they met. They started talking about marriage after they graduated school, and eventually did when they were 20.
Soon after, Aleisha found out she was pregnant. Her and Leon were over the moon, excited about the fact that they would soon be having a little boy or girl. They didn't want to ruin the surprise, so didn't get the doctor to tell them the sex. What he did tell them though, was that they were going to have twins.
9 months later, Aleisha went into labour. It was tough, but she pulled through, giving birth on Christmas Day. Leon said later that t was the best gift they could have gotten. The twins were a boy and a girl, which they decided to call Ethan and Kathryn, the names of Aleisha's late parents.
What surprised the couple, was that their children had tiny little wings, like a budgie's. As they children grew up, their wings grew with them, and they were flying by the age of 3, albeit clumsily. The first accident hit the small family soon after the twins' 4th birthday. They were on holiday in France, when Ethan complained of his eyes being really painful. They took him to a hospital, where they checked his eyes.
They gave the family some bad news. Ethan's eyes were failing, and he would soon be blind. His mother asked if there was anything they could do, but this was something they didn't know anything about. They had never seen anything like it. They went home early, subdued. Ethan didn't know what blind was, but he knew it was bad.
A few days later, he opened his eyes in the morning and started screaming, shouting that he couldn't see. His mother immediately burst into tears. Ethan hadn't seen anything since that day.
5 years on, Ethan and Kathryn were excellent flyers, learning to ride on air currents and catch thermals. It was a thrilling experience for them and their parents, but also a worry for the a latter. The was the constant danger that their children may fall out of the sky. But they never did.
The family live happily together on Destiny Islands. To make Ethan feel better, his sister Kathryn always tells him the scenery, what the sea and sky look like, the plants etc.
Role Playing Sample: (from another site where I play this character)
Swooping through the clouds, Ethan felt at ease. Whenever he had any troubles, he'd simply spread his wings and take off, go wherever he pleased and not have a care in the world. The wind was whistling in his ears and it was cold, but he didn't care. He was happy.
The words of a song running through his head as he dive-bombed through the clouds. He hummed the tune as he felt the wetness of a cloud pass around him. "I want it all but not too much, I wanna feel the way you touch me, I'm the kind of guy, Who's always there, To come and find you!" He sang, feeling more elated in days. He had no idea why, perhaps it was just the thrill of being in the air, or maybe.....PAIN
A huge explosion of brilliant white light erupted behind his eyes, accompanied with a splitting headache. He roared with surprise and fear as the pain hit him, and also that this was the only real light (not memory light) he had seen in 13 long years. His wings stopped beating and he began to fall. He tried moving them, but they wouldn't work. He yelled as he fell towards the ground at over a hundred miles and hour.
The white light cleared and was replaced with something weird. A soft grey light rushing past him. Ethan knew he was in a cloud, he could feel it, but why could he see this light, after so many years of blackness?
He broke through the cloud and gasped. He could see. The expanse of the academy grounds. The beautiful building, the massive grounds, the forest. It took his breath away. "Sh!t..." He breathed. He tried flapping his wings to remain airborne. They wouldn't respond. "SH!T" He bellowed as he plummeted towards the ground.
He saw tress rushing up to greet him, headache still raging. Branches slashed across his face, grazing and slicing his cheeks and forehead. A huge smash as he hit the hard forest floor, an explosion of dust, a snapping sound and extreme pain in his right arm. "Ouch." He gasped. Soon after, he was cold, pained, concussed, and out cold.
