Just a quick note: Angel is my main sona, and was the first I ever made. She represents me mostly when idly RPing. Later came two sisters, then added a brother for fun though the brother is now the second oldest.  

The Shepherd's Backstory

The siblings were from a land known to produce magical protectors.  A 'chosen one' would birth children with magical abilities.  Nobody ever knew who the chosen one was though until the children began to show signs of their magic as they grew.  In the past, these pups were raised like royalty.  Guarded, trained and protected until they were able to do the same in turn for the land.  One day though, a group turned against the land after they grew up, attacking the entire city and its farms and taking over.  They ruined the land, drove the citizens into despair and eventually died from age.  They lived twice as long as the normal being, but… not forever.  In this case that was a good thing.

After that though, the citizens grew to fear the users of magic, and would kill them off as pups.  Every 100 or so years a new chosen one would birth new pups.  Since nobody knew who the chosen one was though, pups sometimes slipped through the cracks as the mothers hid them away at the first sign of magic.  This is what happened with the Schaferhund siblings.  

Their mom smuggled them out. Although she brought them things to survive, the siblings grew up rather secluded and off the maps and as time went on their mom showed up less and less until one day she quit coming... at all. Not knowing what else to do, the siblings took off on foot with very little to their names, learning small trades along the way, how to hunt and how to somewhat try to survive on their own while trying to find a new place to settle. All the while trying to put space between them and their birthplace for safety.

They also started to try and hone their magic themselves. It was a slow process, and sometimes felt like it was useless as they had no mentor or way to quicken their knowledge of their own powers but through persistence they, mostly, learned a little of each of their unique magics.

They each had two magical abilities.  One more offensive and one more defensive. 

Angel: 25 | Female

Offensive Ability - Control Water  

Defensive Ability - Heal Self and Others

~~ Angel is a friendly silly dog.  She did her best to be a good caregiver to her younger siblings and provide comfort to them, often acting more as a parent than a sister.  She could be shy with new people outside of her little family pack. Once warmed up her more lax side came out though, along with her talkativeness!  Her goal was to try and keep everyone happy and getting along with each other. 

Alaric: 23 | Male
Offensive Ability - Control Earth
Defensive Ability - Can produce a shield
~~ Alaric is the protector of the sibling bunch.  He is the tallest, and did his best to strengthen himself every day.  He was the calm one of the bunch, and the thinker, always thinking ahead.  His goal was to keep everyone safe, learn various trades to keep food on the table and help plan for the future they wanted. He was always trying to better his magic, strength and skill sets in order to keep his family well provided for. 

Kirsche: 21 | Female
Offensive Ability - Control Fire
Defensive Ability - Emotional Manipulation 

~~ Kirsche was rather spitfire.  She had a temper and wasn't afraid to show it off.  She liked to get into mischief.  Her mischief was well intended but often got her into trouble.  She disliked her ability to use magic though since it got her where she was, banned from her home.  Due to this she had the worst control over it, and oftentimes it proved to be dangerous.  Over time she comes to accept her powers and tries to hone them better, but is behind the other siblings in doing so.

Karamell: 18 | Female

Offensive Ability - Control Air

Defensive Ability - Teleport Self and Others.
~~ Karamell was the youngest and most shy of the siblings.  She spent a lot of her time devouring various books she came across in her travels and trying to cram years of knowledge into days.  Since the siblings grew up secluded and without proper schooling, Karamell made it her goal to learn as much as possible and also teach it to her siblings.  This was her own little way of giving back to the family, helping them not seem so lost in the large world they were now alone in.  

Even with learning basic school knowledge, they knew very little of the everyday world, not having had most things others did growing up.  For now they travel, looking for allies, avoiding danger, and learning about the world they were hidden from for so long. Clueless, but not helpless... The siblings traveled on.
