The Shadow Syndicate

[Rogue of Night]

SO YOU HAVE COME

We welcome you to our headquarters. This is where you will learn everything you need to know about the S×S! Don't know if you want to know about us? Too bad.

The Shadow×Syndicate was formed about a millennia ago, by the esteemed leader, Subaia Darkkus, the demon assassin whom came out of nowhere, from a history of shed blood, to band these people together. His prowess and strength show no bound, and his ruthless behaviour is what keeps them moving forward.

The group itself is dedicated to completing their tasks with ease, and with little reluctance from their victims. It is composed of former assassins, thugs, ninjas, and other dark creatures. One or two demons are found throughout the lot, but which members are such a species, would be fatal to find out.

HOW WE RANK

This is our ranking, from the topmost position, to the scum under our shoes. No matter their status, each member is branded with the "S×S" insignia which represents our esteemed commune.
Some have enhanced genetics, others are just skilled. You decide which is which.

Laya's Characters (SxS):

[/color][/center]

Kityen

Name: Kityen (Kit-ee-in) Novikov
Race: Half elf- Half demon
Gender: Female
Age: Unknown
Relations: Unknown
Occupation: Guardian/Scout of the Shadow Syndicate
Appearance: Kityen is a 5'0" elf/demon with long silver hair that she usually ties up in a black bow with purple/red/black eyes that look like they can pierce through anything. (Before) She wears a black, strapless mini dress that she finds perfect for fighting in because it doesn't get in the way, with black gloves up to her elbows, a black choker necklace, and black boots and black socks that come up to her mid-thighs. (Now) Kit has taken to wearing a long, white dress that she usually wears with a light grey cloak to cover her shoulders. She looks more like an angel with it on, giving her an innocent look. But don't be fooled. She's still incredibly dangerous.
Personality: Kityen was once a very cruel, primarily demon possessed girl who killed ruthlessly. She loved no one and believed that there was no place in this world besides to kill because of her half demonic blood. But once she entered the SxS and met a few, select people, her personality began to chance. The demonic blood began to subside, and her elven half started to shine. She started to care, to love, and although she is still, and always will be a fearless fighter, she is more human than ever before.
History: Her elf mother was killed when she was but three, and her demon father took her in and raised her as a demon, her elven blood forgotten. She killed ruthlessly and did his biding, and when he passed, she continued on, being a terror to the world. When she met a human girl named Lillith, her life began to change in front of her eyes, and eventually, she joined the ShadowxSyndicate where she truly began to transform.
Other: She uses dagger swords to fight, and she is one of the most fearsome fighters in the world.
Quote: Shut up.

Kardinah

Name: Kardinah
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Age: Mid-twenties
Relations: Unknown
Occupation: Casual
Appearance: She has dark brown eyes that tend to look black, but they are usually fairly warm. She doesn't like clothes, so she wears as little as possible without getting in trouble. Her skin is fair, and she has long nails and full lips.
Personality: Kardinah, despite her looks, is a fairly warm and funny person. She is easy to talk to and easy to get along with, and loves to joke around and be a jokester. She will rarely start a fight, but will jump in to defend a friend or someone she cares about. In a battle, however, she is fearsome and does become serious like her looks seem to tell. Her mood tends to be always light, and she has a habit on playing pranks on people that she really shouldn't bother. She is extremely skilled with a bow and arrow, and always carries her longbow with her everywhere.
History: Kardinah was orphaned as a child, and left in her aunt's care along with her older brother. One day, however, her brother mysteriously disappeared and her aunt passed away from an illness. She was left alone to fend for herself, where she picked up her skills in archery. She met with a former Syndicate member, and he brought her to the headquarters where she joined quickly.
Other: Very skilled with a bow and arrow.
