I feel stupid, I had no idea we could have more than one character as main. Anyway, so I have added Garn and Raghnall.
--
Over the years, their nickname as the Yin/Yang twins have merely been changed into the Zheng twins. Garn is the older one and Raghnall is the younger one. Both are identical, but tend to change their appearances to let people know who is who. Their middle names were their original first names. Garn's is Tasn, which means dark and yang while Raghnall's was Jianki, which means Light and yin. The two are known as the oldest mortals for they have been alive since the early years of Zelpha. Anyways, here are their stats:

Name: Garn Tasn Zheng
Also known as: Tasnne, Yuibara, The Dark Lord, Garn, Garn the Terrible, “Slave”
Age: 2,975
Birthday: May 22 34 PI
Race: Unknown Celestial
Job Class: He doesn't have one job class
Gender: Male
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral/Lawful Evil
Appearance: Garn is 6ft 2in tall and of a slender build. He stands up straight and proud and rarely slouches despite his unusual height. His hair is long and jet black, tied back by a single silver string when brewing potions or doing something physical. His eyes are fathomless black and melt into darkness at night. His skin is slightly tanned to reveal the fact that he had traveled quite often. He is seen almost always either with a sadistic smile or an annoyed expression. But at times, Garn might be seen with a coldly indifferent expression or even a seductive one if he wishes.

Garn is amazingly handsome with an appearance of a fallen angel--or even a woman at times. His preferred attire is a loose collared black robe with bell sleeves and a pair of slack (black). When not in a robe, he wears thin turtlenecks. A cloak is pulled over all this, concealing his many secret possessions. Garn wears black gloves with small pockets for needles as well. His boots are black and reach the shins.

One of Garn's better attires happens to be one he designed himself when he was still ruling Mortikan. It is a black suit with a cape, however, it has more to it. The black suit's sleeves split at the end sort of like what a robe sleeve would do. The sleeves have silver coating that signifies his power. The pant legs of the outfit also split like the sleeves and have the same silver coating. The buttons of the overcoat are of a silvery color with a hint of purple and the first three aren't buttoned, to show the white undershirt. The cape is black with the Mortikan insignia in the middle of it in gold, it goes to the ground and can never be dirty since it is enchanted. Garn also wears a choker...err...collar, which is black on his throat to match the outfit. It has ancient inscriptions, which are starting to fade. In addition, he also wears formal black shoes with this attire.

Hobbies: Causing fear, destroying enemies, reading, acting, playing the flute, traveling, making Raghnall’s life miserable, fighting, shopping, Cross-dressing (secret!), being loved, sex, potion brewing, manipulating others
Aspirations: To become Zelpha’s strongest warrior and dark lord, rule the world, and reclaim the Holy Lands.

Personality: Garn at first can be mistaken as just another intelligent and attractive Celestial. However, there is a certain air of foreboding he gives off due to his reputation that makes him quite the unlikely person to be found socializing with just any random stranger off the street. Yet, he likes to hear himself talk and brag when possible to awe and cow those in his presence like a ruler should.

Not that there aren't times where he likes to take his time. He just doesn't like people taking their time if it isn't part of his plans. In fact, he hates people ruining his carefully thought out plans or impulses. He prefers everything to go his way or his favor. Anything else is simply unacceptable.

However, he is also known to be gentle and kind at times. Some may just believe it to be good acting on his part (and many know he is a good actor, seeing him deal with professors), but deep down, this wizard isn't rotten to the very core. He just likes looking like it to protect himself from others. He hates weakness so why show it by being too kind, trusting, or generous to people? Such actions, after all, have led him to ruin far too many times. Being a pretty, calculating bastard with a sprinkling of heart once in awhile is much easier.

But back to the fact that he actually has a heart: very few perceive it, but it's there. He is known to be generous with his money and with his time for those he likes. He is also known to be helpful if someone wins his favor and gentle to those he is attracted to (if they want it). He is also very protective of his friends and family, despite not seeming so from the way he sometimes acts around them. Yet, he will willingly throw himself in front of those he loves than let them get destroyed. And he knows this, hence his lack of close relationships.

Because of his ways of managing to almost always get his way, sometimes people forget that he also has quite the temper. More often than not, this temper flares up so violently that people get hurt and badly. Garn is not afraid of using force and spilling blood. In fact, he takes pleasure in inflicting others pain when he is angry and hardly ever regrets it. After all, he probably convinced himself then and there they deserved the pain for being stupid enough to defy him.

Rich, arrogant, vain, and dangerously cunning, he can be the bane of one's very existence or ones most reliable ally. Or just plain amusement to some, not that he admits this.

History: Garn was born many years ago with his brother Raghnall. He was a few minutes earlier so he was to be the eldest of the two. Both were alike in every way--even their very eye colors (red) For the first month, no name was bestowed upon him or his brother, the Zhengs being unable to choose one. But one night something horrific occurred while he and his brother were being watched over by Sir Zenon. For a moment both had lost conciousness and then the next a dark light struck Garn while a bright jet of light struck Raghnall. Little shards of strange energy shattered around them and when the two opened their eyes, Sir Zenon nearly fainted at the sight.
The strange occurance was the talk of the palace for three months and both parents noticed the odd behavior of their twins that came with the changes in eye color.
But it wasn't until a year later did the twins recieve their names. Garn was Tasn for his jet black eyes and Raghnall was Jianki for his light blue ones. It was a tribute to their deceased uncle as two of his last three words happened to be just those two names.
At a very young age (around 10 to 20), Garn was exposed to many things including incidents that no one wishes him to ever recall. But there was something odd about him and his brother other than their strange connections with their names--they aged considerably slower. It wasn't until 50 years had passed did they reach an age aroung 10 in human years. But the rest of their generation were the same.
Once Garn hit 13 (human appearance-wise), his annoyance with his brother had crossed the line for all tolerance. Their personality differences soon drove Garn to fight constantly with his little brother until finally it was decided that they would be in seperate rooms.
A year later, Sir Zenon had been promoted from their part time caretaker to their instructor as well.
Now Sir Zenon was a strange man in every way. He had a face of an angel but a dark side that would frighten the very devil. Garn admired the way Sir Zenon did things and was always following him around if he wasn't being whisked away by his parents, grandfather or Qin Nabe Takeshii.
Garn was a brat and he got anything he wanted and resented authority. Whenever he got the chance, he would try to pull upsetting acts on his brother or wander away from the people in the palace. His wild behavior soon cost him his remaining freedom.
Several years later, Qin Nabe Takeshii was charged with the orders of Garn's grandfather to discipline the little brat prince. The task was not easy and often Garn was punished for his vulgar language and distasteful etiquette. Often Qin Nabe was driven to the point of insanity by the little brat.
The fruits of the Qin Nabe's labor were good, though. Within a few months, he had converted the little brat into the ideal prince at least on the outside. He had also become rather close with the bratty prince and often chatted with Garn when he had the time.
After the training with the Qin Nabe ended, Sir Zenon took over in lessons and soon started teaching them ways of combat and the proper way to act when in various situations unrelated to royalty. Garn's admiration grew for Sir Zenon and soon the twins started calling Sir Zenon Firore, slang for teacher friend.
It wasn't until 250 AZ did Garn realize just how he would serve outside of the palace. A day after Jianki Cere, he had confronted the Emperor Malky for insulting his father. That day Malky had demanded that he, Garn, work under him for a short period of time in war. There was no way to object so the young Garn was enlisted to command troops within a few months.
That was when the tension was set high for Raghnall and Garn. Raghnall, obviously irritated by this, was no help when he cross dressed his brother or tried other pranks. By that time, Garn was already very well versed in dark magic as Qin Nabe often taught him secretly and he would read on his own as well. Garn was not a very nice boy due to this. But no one really cared as it was almost the time for the twins to become men and everyone was concerned on cramming as much information into that brilliant mind of Garn's as possible.
Garn learned his languages and magic with relative ease, though he was reluctant to show his full potential at that point.
Weeks later, Firore Zenon was gone, forever. An unexpected ambush had taken place when Firore Zenon took the twins for some hands on practice of his skills. Garn blamed himself for the blunder as he could've saved his Firore's life but was too deep into the pleasures of destruction to do so.
A younger boy, Yakusha Wari, became Garn's trainer after the tragic death of his Firore. Child prodigy, Yakusha Wari was to become General of the very army as soon as he became a man. Garn was given a different name before the decision for him to travel outside was confirmed. His name would be Garn as it was the first thing that came out of his mouth when he was asked. His brother was named Raghnall for similar purposes, but his task was to work with their country's government. Yakusha sent Garn off to the other places of Hithiren Otenji Litiiran Yatayako as soon as he could and there was where Garn faced the most troubling of decisions.
Without guidance, he soon became lost in his brooding travels, unable to apply his knowledge fully on the trip alone.
But during that trip, he had encountered a young woman who had tried to steal his money. Her name was Sayumi. He was not immediately recognized and he had accidentally told the girl his true name. So for most of the time she was with him, she called him by Tasn.
She was irritating, but helpful all the same. Garn kept her with him as a guide but showed little interest with her other than that. One day when he had ventured to the province of silver, he met a woman worth his attention. This woman was the daughter of a wealthy light Celestial and the two of them got along very well. He flirted with her constantly and forgot completely about Sayumi.
But within days of meeting her, the woman was accidentally beheaded by Sayumi who had aimed for the monster attacking the woman and Garn. The monster was taken down easily, but Garn, filled with anger and grief parted with Sayumi in very heated terms.
Once rid of the annoying girl, Garn travelled further and found himself in the province where warriors gathered. There he competed with various warriors and defeated all of them. He became a legend there and it was good enough for him. Garn had been in the process of leaving the area when he was assaulted by a legendary monster unleashed by one of the sore warriors that he defeated. The monster proved to be most difficult to kill and matched his level in strength and magic. After a long fight, the creature was slain and Garn believed it to be his last breath as he collapsed next to it.
But fate smiled upon him and when he awoke, he saw Sayumi. He was alive and someone cared. It was good enough for him.
A few hours later, Yakusha and Qin Nabe appeared and took him from Sayumi's care back to the palace.
And then the fateful day finally came, Malky had arrived personally to retrieve his little general. By that time, Garn was more than ready to go and he did, brining down Malky's enemies with a ghastly grace that made everyone think twice than to ever provoke a Celestial.
[to be continued.]
Skills: Various, one includes his superior skill of handling all weaponry, which he was famous for (apart from dark magic).
Weapon: Death Dealer is his main weapon. It is the most lethal blade in all of Zelpha, containing a horrid poison that is fatal to all, but those with Mystic blood. He also has a back up blade. It is called Dark Blood. This one was actually made for him by his father when he was young. However, he doesn't use it a lot.

Personality: Raghnall is the nicer of the two Zheng brothers. Or at least the more gentlemanlike of the two. Polite and often unobtrusive, he prefers to listen to others brag than brag openly. He also pays many a compliments to other people making him very agreeable and seemingly humble. However, one drawback to all his politeness and agreeable airs is he fails to be truthful about himself. He likes to keep himself and his past a secret and often one finds less about him than he does of others.

This is due to another Zheng trait of insecurity. However, Raghnall feels it more acutely because of his Eurasian appearance which he has often been derided for when he was a child. He doesn't like talking about himself apart from very superficial matters and keeps people guessing or frustrated. It is most selfish of him, but he doesn't care a whit. After all, he is very cautious with everything he does, preferring to take his time to reach a goal than to be rash and do something stupid. Just like Garn, he hates making mistakes as that shows weakness.

However, that doesn't mean he is a good liar by any means. In fact, he is horrible at lying. But, he covers that by evading questions or situations where he might be pressed to lie. After all, he is born in a family that didn't condone in any sort of weakness or imperfection.

Despite how charming and polite he may be on the outside, he does share several other points of similarities with his twin brother. One would be that he is extremely vain. One can tell from one look at how he presents himself to people and his reluctance to ever get his hands dirty. Raghnall is also a very cunning individual, liking to lure ones trust to get things his way. Not that he doesn't have a conscience or anything, but he is a staunch believer in ends justifying the means.

But despite all this, he is genuinely kind and ready to help people in need, usually women. He is also known to be a person that people come for advice often and therefore a library of secrets which he keeps and does not divulge unless his own trust has been betrayed.

That being said, Raghnall is also an extremely loyal and stubborn individual. He refuses to allow those that he genuinely cares for to come to harm and is stubborn enough to rarely change loyalties or his ways. One might say he would be sacrificial in his protection of others except he really isn't. After all, he is a very careful person even in a time of panic and the person he wishes to preserve the most is himself.

However, there is an exception to his careful ways and that is when he becomes very apprehensive or becomes very angry. What happens during both those times is almost an exact copy of what happens when Garn is in such a state. He can become unreasonable or do things he would never do normally. Moreover, sometimes, when angry, his sadistic side shows and he becomes startlingly cruel.

History:
[Weapon: The only three weapons he uses are Hasho, Counter Curse and Snow.
