Name~ Emi Ganstein
Age~ 21
Gender~ Female
Race~ Refugee/Marian
Alliance~ Refugees
Weapon~ Twin Short Swords
Occupation~ Doctor
Personality~ Emi is a kind hearted woman that has devoted her life to protecting her fellow Marians. She has put herself at risk on multiple occasions, trying to find a cure for the Epidemic. She is very close to he brother, and to her dear friend, Sepia.
Bio~ Emi and her brother, Darron, were always close as children. They always looked out for eachother, and Darron never let anyone hurt her. They were very careful around infected people, and no one ever fed off of Emi. She had always been an intelligent child so when a refugee doctor offered to teach her, she eagerly excepted. Emi was the doctor that discovered the immunity of children and those who were fed off of before they hit puberty.
Emi has been whole heartedly putting herself at risk for infection in an attempt to find a cure. She has yet to catch the epidemic, but she is very careful. If she gets bodily fluid of an infected person, whether fully turned or going through the transformation, she not only washes her hands with water but also with fire, by rubbing her hands in a flame for 10 seconds and then wrapping them tightly to prevent burns and blistering. She is very empatheric and she takes care of those going through the transformation until they are fully turned. She is seeking out every Cross of Eternity, as they have been dubbed, so that she can purge this infection from Maria, and give others a second chance.
Name~ Darron Ganstein
Age~ 23
Gender~ Male
Race~ Refugee/Marian
Alliance~ Refugees
Weapon~ Butterfly blades
Occupation~ Researcher on the Lasharian's and their disease
Personality~ He is a very protective person, and is even more so over his little sister. He feels most useful if he's helping or protecting his sister. He is a very observant person, and can be very analytical if the need should arise.
Bio~ He has been protecting Emi since she was 7 years old. Their parents caught the epidemic, and their father tried to feed off of Emi, but Darron took her place. This was before Emi disovered that children who have been fed off of before puberty become immune to the infectious disease, though they can be 'forcefully' turned. This gave Darron immunity to catching the disease in any normal way.
He wishes that he would have let their father feed from Emi, so that she would have the immunity instead of him. She constantly puts herself in danger as she tries to help the infected people. He does everything he can to protect his sister and the other refugees. He is not above betraying the refugees if it will protect Emi.

Bio~ Sepia is Emi's personal gaurd. Sepia feels forever grateful to Emi for the dangerous things that she endures in her attempt to find a cure for this epidemic. She has the utmost respect for Emi and has no problem with putting herself in danger to protect the one woman that might be able to save what few Marians are left.
She also admires Darron for what he does to get the research that helps his sister make her discoveries. She is very skilled with a rapier, and has immunity to the regular contraction of the disease because she had been fed off of at age 8. She is very capable of protecting herself and others.
Name~ Asher Moningdale
Age~ 259
Gender~ Female
Race~ Infected/Lasharian
Alliance~ Infected
Weapon~ Broadsword, she most commonly uses two pistols over her broadsword
Occupation~ Lasharian Council Member
Personality~ She is a very serious woman, and often comes off as cold-hearted and uncaring. She doesn't like Emi one bit, because of how close Emi really is to finding a cure for the Edpidemic, and ruining Asher's little paradise. She enjoys having power over the infected people.
Bio~ Asher was born on Lashar, a planet full of her kind of people. There was a great war though that forced Asher and 19 of her fellow Lasharians from the planet. They searched for a suitable place to come live after losing their home and found the planet of Maria. They were welcomed as beautiful, mysterious strangers, at first, until the people found out about their secret. She watched as one friend after another was either beheaded or burned alive.
She knew that it would be just a matter of time before people started changing and she was right. Once they started to change they were begging for someone to help them, and she and her five friends were right there when they were needed. They immediately rose to power and haven't faced any serious threats on it for the 25 years that they've had it. That is, until now. A certain young doctor has stopped at nothing to try and find a cure for this epidemic, and she's so very close, without even knowing it.
Asher feels threatened by Emi's progress, and hates Emi for posing this threat to her own personal paradise. Asher can't stand the idea of someone like Emi being able to do that. She has been plotting and planning in an attempt to give the infection to Emi, but it's not as easy as one might think with the guard that Emi has.
