Yeah, I know I'm not explaining things like what Ula is, how it works, and what exactly happened during the Bleak...that's all pointless backstory at this point, I think. If y'really wanna know, ask.

Hmm...should I buy the Think Like Amano poster series for my dorm? *sigh* It's so very tempting, and my walls are so very bare...

Adarial/Shivetth
occupation: archetype of life/death
preferred gender: female/male
age: older than you, younger than Zazi and Rhonaya
height: 5'8"
hair: eye searing neon green streaked with purple/black streaked with dark red
eyes: bright green/ black
build: slenderish

Adarial and Shivetth are two different people with two different bodies and two different personalities...stuck in the same space. So you can only talk to one of them at a time, as they can't both occupy their space at the same time. No one is exactly sure where the other one goes when not visible; they aren't telling. They're Zazi and Rhonaya's first and only children, which might explain why they're like siamese twins gone wrong; that probably isn't the case, though, as the elemental archetypes were all spawned from some combination of Adarial/Shivetth and Zazi or Rhonaya, and none of them are particularly mutated...

They're twins, and two sides of the same thing. Without life, there is no death; without death, life becomes meaningless. So they're stuck together. They don't mind, not really; they get along fabulously, though like they're parents, they are complete opposites.

Adarial is spastic, thoughtless, and flighty, but she is also very, very charismatic, warm, and beautiful. Ignore the fact that her features are blinding; she is the most beautiful of all the archetypes, though no one can actually figure out why. She is everything that life is; frustrating, confusing, and careless. In addition to representing life, she also represents freedom, and her personailty ultimately reflects this. She is free from everything, all responsibilities and cares and worries- no matter what, she goes on. The only the she is not free of is death, her brother. Adarial is everyone's friend; she's the life of all the parties, so to speak. She's not so much cruel as she is careless; life goes on whether those living it want it to.

Shivetth is a very serious, quiet person, but he is without a doubt the kindest of all the archetypes. His sister's lightheartedness counterbalances his own sobriety, and his kindness counters her callousness. Shivetth is a lot like Zazi, and 'Darial takes after Rhonaya; he's the only person who can stand to be around Zazi for any length of time (mostly owing to his being in love with the idiot) and he's also the only person who doesn't increase the chaos factor around Zazi. The only person not killing him is the personification of death. There's irony there, too. Either way, Shivetth gets along pretty well with everything, unless they're mortal, of course. He's utterly devoted to his sister and to Zazi, though he doesn't often show it. A little on the emotionless side, sometimes, but infinitely compassionate.

Adarial feels the pain and exhilaration of every birth, while Shivetth feels the relief and sadness of every death. It's a wonder they're both still reasonably sane.
