Allen and Elaina

I made two new characters. Or a new characters. As you might guess, the bio is a little bizzare.

Name: Allen and Elaina (Twins)

Age: 18 (Both of them)

Skills:
Allen: Allen’s magic is barely enough to light a fire with-his mind isn’t very compatible with magic-but his swordsmanship is good, though he’s not good at subtlety. In physical combat, he wins mostly through force. In a fight, he’s very intensely focused on his opponent, and it’s easy for someone else to startle him. Even though Allen isn’t good at subtlety, he’s very good at interpreting his opponent’s body language and avoiding blows.
Elaina: Elaina’s swordsmanship is terrible, she doesn’t have the hand-eye coordination necessary, but she’s very proficient at magic. With magic, she can freeze fire, or turn a boulder to dust with a few words. If she focuses her mind-Which she normally doesn’t, she’s not a very focused person-She’s very creative and good at designing spells.
Both: Allen and Elaina’s skills combine well: In a fight, generally Allen does all the sword fighting, keeping attackers of Elaina’s back while she deals with magicians. Another skill they have when the two of them are placed together is their physical similarity: They look so alike that they can switch places and most people wouldn’t see any difference. The illusion sometimes slips a little when they start talking, but they’ve known each other for long enough to imitate each other.

Gender: Allen is male, Elaina is female

Race: Human

Hair: Blond

Eyes: Blue

Home Village: Yazuac

Parents: Eliza and Terence

Siblings: Allen and Elaina are twins, they have no siblings aside from each other

Character personality:
Allen: Allen is a very intense, focused person. He’s very passionate, not good at staying calm. When in any kind of interaction with another person, he focuses completely on that other person, and it’s easy for someone else to startle him. Allen gets riled up very easily, all it takes is a few words and his mood will change abruptly. He can seem to have a multiple personality disorder, changing from sad to happy to furious in a few minutes. When Allen feels strong emotions, they always tend to take complete control of him. He can quickly become sad enough to cry, furious enough to kill, or delirious with ecstasy. Allen is steadfastly protective of those he cares about, always trying to stand between them and any danger, even when it’s not necessary, and if one of his friends is hurt, he immediately goes into “Furious-enough-to-kill” mode. Allen is generally a suspicious person, not very trusting. Once someone does manage to gain his trust, they had better not betray it, or the consequences will be deadly. When Allen does manage to keep his mood level for a few minutes, he’s a very happy, cheerful person. He isn’t very curious, he’s generally satisfied with what he already knows and doesn’t bother to seek out more information.
Elaina: Elaina has a rather vague personality, she’s the kind of person who, while everyone else is having an intense debate, will be staring out the window and wondering if her plants need to be watered, then when someone addresses her, has absolutely no idea what they’re talking about. She isn’t very focused and has difficulty keeping her attention on any particular thing for more than a few minutes, and then her mind begins to wander. Her attention might be caught by any random thing, from a mountain in the distance to the color of someone’s clothes. She’s very open and trusting, and sometimes gets hurt because of it. Elaina is a very caring person, always there when someone needs help. The only time when she’s cranky is in the morning. She’s always grumpy just after she wakes up, and hates getting up before the sun does. Besides that, Elaina is a very easygoing person. She doesn’t get upset easily, and strong emotions are rare for her. Elaina is intensely loyal to those people who she really cares about, and will never let them down. Just about the only time when she gets truly angry is when someone she cares about is hurt, then she turns into a whirlwind of fury.
Both: While Allen and Elaina are twins and are identical in looks, their personalities are almost direct opposites. Allen is very intense, devoting all his attention to whatever’s on his mind, while Elaina is vague and absentminded, her mind not staying on any particular subject for more than a few minutes. Allen is passionate wildfire of emotion while Elaina is a calm lake with barely a ripple. Just about the only thing they have in common is their intense loyalty and protectiveness toward those they care about, and their even more intense loyalty toward each other. Allen and Elaina’s personalities even each other out. When Allen gets really riled up, Elaina is the only one able to calm him down and drag him out of making a rash decision that could have terrible consequences, and when Elaina has little interest in something, Allen always manages to get her excited. The two twins are always dragging each other into things that they wouldn’t have bothered with otherwise. The two twins make absolutely no sense to each other , but they both know they wouldn’t be able to get along alone, and neither of them would ever dream of trying.

Character history: On a morning in spring, a woman called Eliza had two babies. When they were born, Eliza and her husband, Terence, were delighted-And alarmed. They had only prepared for one baby, and now there were two. In the confusion of digging up what was needed for another, unexpected baby, the midwife called to the parents, “What are you going to name them?” At that moment, a man and a woman, good friends of Eliza and Terence’s, walked in the house. “Allen! Elaina!” Terence called out to them. But as he was still facing the midwife as he spoke, digging through a drawer for something, she thought he was talking to her. And so the twins were born and named.
As they grew up, Allen and Elaina did everything together-They went to school together, they went on hunting trips together, they climbed to the top of the tallest tree in the town together. When their father died of fever, they mourned him together. Until, in the fall when they seventeen, Elaina went to Therinsford alone.
Normally, the two of them would have both gone, or both stayed at home, but they desperately needed more supplies, and they also desperately needed Allen to stay at home to help with the harvest. So Elaina took the horse and cart to Therinsford, bought all the supplies she needed, then headed back home. The trip had lasted only a week, but still, she felt edgy. She’d never been away from her twin for more than a day, and it felt wrong.
When she was only half a mile away from Yazuac, Elaina felt that something wasn’t right. She didn’t know why she felt that way, she just knew that something was very wrong. Entering the town, she saw that there was nobody there. Nobody. The place was empty, and eerily silent. No barking of dogs, no shrieking of children, no voices of women talking to their neighbors. What happened? She wondered.
A few minutes later, she got her answer.
A mound of dead bodies in the center of the village. Elaina let out a gasp, and her vision swam with tears of pain, sadness and rage. People she’d known. People she’d loved. People she’d talked and laughed with only days before. And they were all dead. Memories flashed through her mind. Leah, telling her about the new dress her mother had made for her. Kaya’s father, leaning over to pick a flower, then handing it to his wife. Carl, saying how one day, he’d find gold buried in his backyard, and then he’d go to Teirm and be a sailor. Hannah’s mother, sewing a Elaina a doll. And hundreds more memories, of all the other people she’d known. All the people who where now dead.
Suddenly, a thought wormed its way into her mind: What about Allen? Elaina tried to push the thought away, but it persisted. Allen couldn’t be dead. He just couldn’t. Mother being dead was bad enough, but that she could deal with. Allen being dead she couldn’t. Allen was always there. That was the one consistent in her life. Maybe Allen sometimes wasn’t very good to talk to, but that wasn’t what mattered. What mattered was that He was always there. Throughout all the chaos that had intruded in her life, that one fact had been consistent. Allen being dead was about as inconceivable as waking up one morning and finding that the sun had turned green.
In a panic, Elaina ran from Yazuac. For two days she wandered aimlessly, until she found Allen.
Her relief when she saw him was overwhelming. “But how did you escape?” Elaina asked him.
“I didn’t. I wasn’t in Yazuac. After five days of sleep, eat, harvest, sleep, eat, harvest, it got kind of overwhelming. So I went out hunting, just for a day, and when I came back…” His voice trailed off.
“And mother? Did you-Did she-“
Allen didn’t say anything, just shook his head.
The tears came all over again. Eventually, Allen and Elaina decided to go to Daret. There wasn’t much else they could do, and they could decide what else they would do after they arrived. When they got to Daret, they discovered that a boy and an old man had been there, who said they’d been to Yazuac and determined the attackers had been urgals, before they themselves had been attacked by urgals. The strange thing was that there was no news of Galbatorix sending soldiers to take care of the urgals. Allen and Elaina stayed at Daret for a while, but desire for more information drove them on, and they went to the Varden. There they discovered that not only was the boy they’d heard of from the residents of Daret was a rider, but that the urgals who pillaged Yazuac had been under Galbatorix’s command. After learning that, Allen and Elaina joined the Varden, seeking revenge.

Weapons: Allen: Allen has one weapon, a long sword, about three feet long and forged out of hard iron. The scabbard is orange and red with a few flashes of yellow, implying a fire. The blade is the same, and the way it reflects the light enhances the illusion of fire.
Elaina: Elaina doesn’t really do fighting, but she has a weapon anyway, a steel dagger. It has no adornation except a sapphire in the pommel.

Likes:
Allen: His twin, fire, night, intense physical workouts
Elaina: Her twin, sunny days, light, the color blue

Dislikes:
Allen: Galbarorix, extreme exhaustion
Elaina: Galbatorix, darkness, rain,

Weakness/Fear:
Allen: Allen wouldn’t admit it to anyone, not even to Elaina, but he fears a lot of things. His main fears are of Elaina dying and of being physically weak. His main weaknesses are his magic ability, it’s incredibly weak, his emotions, which can easily disrupted, and his focus. While his intense focus is generally a good thing, it can also be a huge disadvantage, as it means he’s not paying attention to anything but the current subject of his attention.
Elaina: Elaina doesn’t really have any fears. The only things she’s really afraid of are of having Allen, or someone else close to her die. Her main weakness is her inability to focus. It means that, while she generally keeps focused on her spells, they can sometimes waver, and it also means that she can’t create a good mind shield.
Both: Allen and Elaina both fear losing eachother, and they're both weaker when fighting alone. Together, they know what their part is and what they're supposed together, and apart, that unity is lost.

Physical appearance:
Allen: Allen is very tall, with blue eyes, blond hair cut at his shoulders, and a very intense expression. He wears a loose, long sleeve shirt and pants, slightly flared at the cuffs. His clothes are black, with red embroidery, and sometimes red with black embroidery. His figure is muscular, but not bulky. He has a sword belted to his waist with a red and orange swordbelt, with a little black embroidery around the edges. His stance is usually calm, but just slightly tense.
Elaina: Elaina is very tall, with blue eyes, blond hair cut at her shoulders, and a vague, distracted expression. She usually wears a loose, long loose long sleeve shirt and pants, slightly flared at the cuffs. Her clothes are green, with blue embroidery, and sometimes blue with green embroidery. She occasionally will wear a dress. Her figure is slender, but not very feminine. Elaina can be a little vain at times, and likes jewelry, though she doesn’t own much of it. She has a silver necklace with an emerald in it that she always wears, and has a couple of fabric bracelet-like adornments made of white and blue silk.
Both: Allen and Elaina’s physical appearances are very similar-Both very tall, with blue eyes and blond hair cut at the shoulders, both with very similar clothes, only different colors. Except for the fact that Allen’s male and Elaina’s female, they’re nearly identical. They’re alike enough to pull off switching places, and anyone who doesn’t know them really well won’t notice, as they know each other well enough to imitate each other’s personalities. Their figures are slightly different, but if they’re wearing cloaks, the difference isn’t enough for anyone to notice.

Dreams for the Future: Galbatorix’s death.

Reasons for Dreams: Allen and Elaina want revenge for the deaths of their friends.
