Finalists

Character: Indïa

Description: I've always feared darkness and the fiends born from that. Time was inexistant, like every being, soul and thing was frozen in there. The whispers... thousands of them were the only sound you could possibly hear in that abyss of the void, yet... it was alluring. My fear disappeared as the shadows embraced me, whispering as life just abandoned me, running away from the new host in me. My lifeless body became a vessel for that unkown energy from mysterious realm full of wonders. Where you would never be alone. Next to the fiends, the mortal kingdom seemed so... entertaining.

Character: Aidaan

Character: LâdySama

Character: Gradient

Character: Shuñ

Description: There is something haunting in the light of the moon; it has all the dispassionateness of a disembodied soul, and something of its inconceivable mystery.
