Glenn Wagner Age:18 Height : 6'4" Weight: 265 lbs.


As a kid Glenn had a nack for weapons handling and creation/repair. He was taught to fight and use a forge. At Sigil his first hunter school the entrance exams was for them to forge there own combat ready weapon of their own design. He forged a special Katana that was longer than normal and had the ability to amplify his Kitsune powers. He was able to control the elements found in nature. He passed his classed at Sigil with flying colors but was still considered a wild one because when he got into combat situations he would throw strategy out the window and his natural fighting ability shown through. He was scouted by The Tower a advanced Hunter/ Huntress school that only the best could go to.He left sigil for a better opportunity at becoming a hunter. A hunter protects people from monsters as well as evil.


Glenn only packed enough clothes to last him two weeks just in case he didn't pass the entrance exams to get into The Tower. He didn't know where exactly to go seeing how he wasn't told a to meet the test givers. He was glade he showed up early because he was lost. He was carrying his sword around because he couldn't just tie it to his waist because of how long it was and he seen a woman turn the corner jamming the hilt of the Katana in her stomach. He quickly backed up a bit taking the sword out of her gut and said "I'm sorry about that my name is Glenn. I am new here and I am kind of lost do you know where the ent rance exams are being held?" He asked her his ears flicking with excitement of meeting a new friend.

Fiona Valen Age: 18 Height: 5'6" Weight: 110lbs

Fiona leaned back on the bench she was seated on, propping herself up with her hands slightly behind her. She closed her eyes and swished her tail, crossing her legs. A gentle sigh escaped her open mouth as the wind blew through her fur and ruffled her light clothing. She had been there for some time now, planning ahead thoroughly. She had the low-down of the area, for the most part, but she didn't know exactly where the "entrance exams" were supposed to be held. There was one big building just off of the center that had some people gathered in front of its closed doors, so she assumed that could be part of it. Oddly enough, though, she didn't see anyone else around except for those gathered there.

Fiona opened her eyes and stood up, subtly checking the twin blades sheathed across the back of her waist. Feeling the familiar leather-bound handles without actually moving her hands, she nodded and set off towards the edge of the area, making no sound as she moved across the cobblestone pathways. When she was turning a corner, she noticed a boy coming around who seemed confused and not very fast with reaction times. He rammed the hilt of his sword into her gut and then took a second before he thought to step back. Fiona rubbed her stomach and shot a glare at him, straightening up.

She regarded him coolly for a few moments, eyeing him up and down. She felt along his blade, again without moving her hands. Sharp, well forged, it seemed custom. There was something else about it that she couldn't quite place, but that was enough of that. She blinked and flicked her tail, the wind again ruffling her clothing which consisted of a pair of black thigh-high stockings, a short black and white skirt (perhaps a little too short), a black and white shirt that was definitely too small and a pair of black fingerless gloves.

"I'm also new here, and I don't know where the exams are being held, either," she explained. "There are some people around the corner by a big building, however."

Glenn only stood in silence watch the woman circle him and touch his sword. He didn't know her intentions towards him but he was ready to strike incase she wanted to attack him. He could feel her eyes studying him and the sword and he thought to himself "she must be more of a calculative person than anything else." He put a smiile on his face before saying "alright lets go over therr and see if that is the area where the exams start." He walked with the woman to the area she thought the exams were going to be held.

When they reached the area a voice chimed over the PA systen and it said " Welcome potential students to The Tower as you all know this the best school for hunters and huntresses to better themselves thus become the top of the field itself." Then either teachers or their assistants began to walk through the crowd passing out maps. "Those maps which you are getting or will get are what your exam is a trip through the woods but this trip is filled with Rage beasts like bears, wolves, and some animals that became so twisted from rage that their animal base form is no longer traceable. You guys and gals have till sun down to reach the area marked with an X on the map to pass the exam." Glenn was no longer listening to what the voice was saying because he was studying the map so he could focus on looking for trouble. He seen at the bottom of the map that there were instructions on where to meet before they dropped them off.

He left the group because anything else that was going to be said was redundant and a waste of time. He soon reaches where he was to meet the instructor and the people dropping him off for the exam. He dropped his clothes and resheathed his sword only to be met by an instructor. "Hello young man I'm Mr. Wolf the smithing instructor for the school and you mudt be Glenn the young man who has this school's instructors in a uproar about his skills with a forge as well as his natural fighting ability. Glenn only smiled not really knowing what to say. "Can I see your sword please I hear you made it custom just for your use and that's it. He handed the instructor the sword letting him look at it.

After a few moments of the teacher looking at the sword Mr.Wolf finally asked "a little long don't you think?" Mr.Wolf gave a smile before finishing "though you are taller than most who have learned to use it."

Fiona shrugged, tailing along. Not like she was doing anything else at the time. She ran her mind's fingers along the ground, kicking up tiny stones every now and again. They arrived at the group in time for the doors to open and a voice to speak over the PA, welcoming them and giving them some background on their task. She accepted the map offered to her, looking it over and tracing a few possible routes from beginning to end. It was a very vague map, however, so she would have to wait until she could see the location with her own eyes. She was well acquainted with forests and woods, having spent quite the amount of time in them herself.

Fiona cast her gaze over the group, blinking once. They began to disperse, supposedly moving towards the starting location. She turned and started to make her way there as well, catching a few glances being thrown her way. Probably something to do with her choice of attire. She shrugged again, stepping off the beaten path to make her way towards the location. She ran out her mental fingers once more, tracing the ground and surroundings to get a feel for what she was working with. Brittle rock, strong trees and roots that ran deep into the earth. This forest was old, and it contained something powerful that she could barely feel on the edges of her mind.

She had a long way to go before she could reach that far with her power.

She arrived at the location sooner than expected, keeping to herself and simply eyeing the other potential students. She decided mingling wouldn't be the best of ideas, and so decided to get a feel for the other students by watching their mannerisms and listening to how they spoke. Fiona sat down on a crumbling stone wall, crossing her long, stocking-clad legs. She then crossed her arms just under the bottom of her shirt, across her exposed flat stomach. The "exam" would likely start soon, and she was eager to finish. She caught a few tidbits of information here and there, something about someone's powers. A flicker of flame from the fingertips of one student, a gust of wind around another.

"Students, prepare yourselves. The entrance exam will begin shortly," announced a voice from a single nearby PA.

Gleen hear the announcer tell the students that the exam would start soon so he got out his map and studied it once more. He soon heard "the test begins now good luck." and took off making his way through a heavily wooded area hoping that no one is following him. He could feel some rage beasts following him ever since he started through the woods. He kept going hoping that they would get bored and leave him alone because he wanted to avoid a fight if he could help it seeing how he is alone or to his knowledge he is. Glenn soon ran into a stream and the two rage beasts stopped following him but now he was in the sights of an even bigger rage beast.

Glenn slowly moved his arm to ready his sword not knowing if the beast would charge him or not. He could tell the beast was in the beginning stages of changing from a bear to another form. The beast let out a loud roar before it started to charge him. Glenn quickly drew his sword getting a cut on the beast but nothing to serious so the beast turned and ran again but this time it stopped short and raised onto it's hind legs and began to swipe at Glenn. He ducked a few times and parried the rest. Glenn could feel by the force of the blows that if he was hit he wouldn't make it.

Gleen could hear during the fight that more people were either fighting rage beasts or any local bandits if there is any in the area. He wasn't making any progress with the beast because the sword even though it's sharp wasn't cutting the hid of the beast. He stepped back and infused his power into the blade making the steel burn like wood. He didn't have much time to do that because the beast was on him again. Glenn took a swipe at the beast and it let out a horrid. screetch and blood started to poor from its stomach. Gleen used the time to get some distance from the beast .

Fiona rolled her shoulders and rose to her feet, making her way into the forest. She knew the path that she wanted to take, having a great interest in the high ground as opposed to any valleys. She wanted to be able to see anything that was coming in, and higher was better for her than lower as she could go down faster than up. Fairly true for everyone, now that she thought about it, but for her it was particularly easy to slow herself down while she was falling. She spent a fair amount of time heading through the forest, trailing out her mind's fingers in a radius around her to get a feel for anything that may be approaching her. She felt a pair of beasts begin to trail her, so she dedicated some time to managing them.

They finally pounced once she had made her way further into the forest and came to a fairly thick around of the woods. A pair of wolf-types, one from each side. Fiona dropped to the ground, rolling backwards and away from them while grasping the blades at her back and pulling them free in one smooth motion. Her blades were straight, short, well made and sharp to an edge. Additionally, they appeared to all be made from a single piece of material from point to handle. Other than that, however, they were fairly normal-looking. She rolled to her feet and darted forward while the wolves were still adjusting to her maneuver. She dropped one immediately, but the other was more cunning and now had some time to evaluate the situation.

They danced back and forth for several turns, neither able to land a decisive blow. Fiona took a breath, then held up her blades horizontally and let go of them. They fell exactly two inches, then hovered. They then adjusted into the same cold, calculated stance that Fiona had adopted with them prior, just without the Fiona part. She was stood just behind them with her hands clasped behind her back. The blades darted forwards, then engaged in a their own deadly dance of steel with the beast. Unable to comprehend what was happening, the beast panicked and backed right into Fiona, who had moved behind it since then. The woman slammed her leg into the beast's side, dropping it to the ground, and then planted a foot on it to stop it from moving. Her hand raised and opened, then one of the floating weapons darted into her waiting hand and she wasted no time in ending the final wolf's life.

The other blade floated into her hand and she sheathed both of them again, then moved on further into the forest where she came across the boy from earlier duking it out with a rather large rage-beast. She took her time to analyze the situation. He seemed to be pressed, but his flaming blade was able to rather easily penetrate the beast's defenses, so she decided to wait and watch.

During the fight Glenn caught a glimpse of the same woman that he literally bumped into before the exam started. He didn't give any sign that he saw her but he figured she was either their to wait until he delt with the beast or scoping out the competition. He wished that she hadn't came into the area because a beast of this size was going to take a lot more of his power than he could control without someone getting hurt. He swung his sword like a samurai cleaning the blood off of the blade after a fight and when he done so the fire went out but a loud cracking sound rang out with a bright flash. His blade had turned a blue color and was emitting it's own electic field .

He hoped that the woman was quick on her feet because every time he swung his sword a lighting bolt would hit in random areas near him. Glenn knew that a chance for electrocution was small even though they are near water because of the thick hide. He knew he either had to get a cut across it's heart to stop the heart or a head shot to fry it's brain. He calmed his mind to try to focus but the beast charged him making him making him abandon his calming process to block the beast's attacks.

After all of the attacks Glenn could feel himself start to slip into a blacked out state. This state heis natural abilities shown through. He would attack with the fury of a barbarian but have the precision of a master samurai. He finally lost his grip and blacked out and when he woke up he seen that the beast was in multiple pieces. He looked around to see that some ground near him was scorched. Glenn quickly made his way to the final point. He hoped that his time at The Tower would help tap into his natural abilities without the black out affect.

Glenn didn't pay much attention when he left but he hoped that the woman he met earlier was ok and didn't get hit by anything. He could sense that more beasts were closing in on the area he was just a so he was glad that he got out of the area before they got there and attacked him. He ran across a cut out in a hill where a creek once ran around so he ducked in there. He needed to check himself for cuts and bruises. He knew that there was a chance that in his blacked out state he could have gotten hurt.
