Idea: Thorn Brush

 Summary: 
          Once upon a time (sorry for the cliche), there was a land ruled by a very selfish king. He had been targeted for assassination several times, and each attempt had failed. This, alongside his country's many victories in battle, was the cause of a group of people. This group was supposedly made up of demons, and past slaves. Each one was fierce and bloodthirsty. And as the rumors went, they had mysterious powers as well.

          The story will follow the newest and youngest member of the group, Kye. She is one of the more feirce characters, but cares more for her morals than most others. Having lived a life of slavery, the girl finds the opportunity of working for the King as a sort of freedom. Though, as told from another character, Xander's, point of view, she is even more trapped than she had been before. Quickly closing the ranks and becoming a skilled assassin for the King, the girl is sent to a small village on the border of the land to fetch a supposed important document. There, she meets Xander who had been sent there as well. But his purpose is to stop whatever rebellion may be brewing inside of the small town. Kye ends up helping him with this mission, not knowing that he belongs to the same group that she does. A third character, Rider, is quickly dispatched to fetch Xander and bring him back to the King.

          Basically what happens when the 3 get back to the Royal City is Kye sees how cruel the King could be. He treats her new companion, Xander, as an object and a pet. The girl has had to watch, on several occasions in the matter of days, as her friend was beaten and humiliated. Rider and Xander are soon sent on another mission, and Kye tags along. A lot of stuff happens, and she somehow finds herself becoming the leader of a rebellion.

          Age: 19
          Physical Characteristics: Short brown hair and hazel eyes. Always wears some kind of high collared shirt or cloak. He has a wound around his neck that had scabbed over and scarred several times.

          Personality: Doesn't talk, but has a way of communicating with simple hand motions and expressions. Quiet. A bit too willing to kill others, but after a while of hanging around Kye he starts to be a bit more sympathetic. 

          Name: Rider

        Age: 22

        Physical Characteristics: Long blonde hair that he usually ties back. Deep blue eyes. Muscular. Tall. Tan. Since he travels often, Rider usually has a bit of stubble growing. Sometimes even a full on beard. Stronger than most humans.

        Personality: Loud and carefree. He tends to drop really bad jokes at the worst possible times. His favorite victim to tease is Kye, because unlike Xander, she gives some pretty interesting reactions. Rider has a small issue with split personalities. One version is the man as described above. The second is his "loyal dog" personality. With this he is very solumn and tends to only think of whatever job the King has given him. He will think nothing of any of his comrades, only about his assigned mission.
