Alright, I have three  more  shots at this story, (taken as Erevayx is already part of the story). Starting off with two attempts for a Veteran Order Member (Polemistis and Vantelic), which I'm not sure whether or not it will work; but hey, one can become a minor character eh?

Alright, starting off for Vantelic; (who hasn't been applied yet) as either the Veteran or Minor Character:

Name: Vantelic

Species: Mersion

Gender: Male

Abilities: Magnokinesis (due to Mutation, Vantelic is capable of controlling magnetic fields to his advantage), Engineering Genius-level Intellect, and Mutagen Immunity.

Bio: While Vantelic's past remains largely unknown due to his unusually quiet personality; what is known by the Order is that Vantelic graduated from a top college on Versuva with a Mechanical Engineering Graduate. Working with Engineering teams around the island, Vantelic had a large amount of understanding in terms with most of the projects proposed by the teams; contributing much to these experiments. After a while, Vantelic retired from his Engineering Career; (although it was promising) as he traveled worldwide to train through a series of hand-to-hand combat courses.

Eventually returning to Versuva, Vantelic was then offered an invitation to join the Order of Mata Nui; debating whether or not he should accept the invitation. Finally accepting, Vantelic was subjected to work closely with Order Engineering Teams; where he again contributed a lot to the experiments they proposed. Eventually promoted to Councilman and Head Engineer of the Order of Mata Nui, taking most of the responsibility for experiments ran by the Order.

Core beliefs: Vantelic, (as he usually remains silent) has beliefs usually parallel with other Order Members. Believing that his service in the Order of Mata Nui was a way to end the bloody campaign launched by the Brotherhood of Makuta. He is also a firm believer that for every good thing in this world there is a bad thing to balance it; and a way to end one more battle, and eventually one more war.

Now onto the Hand of the Remnants of the Lykos himself, Zilotis:

Name: Zilotis

Species: Lykos Kinsman

Gender: Male

Abilities: Lykos Kinsman Essence Seeker mutation, (essence recognition, essence manipulation [can be used for healing, changing physical nature, etc]) and increased physical stature, (strength, speed, etc).

Bio: Born into a Lykos Kinsman Paketo which controlled the north-eastern mountains of Exusia, Zilotis was raised in his families Royal Blood; marked to replace his father as Major Domo when he reached the age of honor. However, plans for his blood-line to be continued were brought to an abrupt halt when his Uncle executed Zilotis's father; taking the title of Major Domo for himself with honor. Cast into the lower-grade warriors for his Paketo; Zilotis was trained alongside what would be peasants in Lykos society. Eventually maturing, Zilotis spent all his worldly belongings to attend the Yermo War College; training alongside a rival Paketo member known as: Polemistis.

Returning to his homeland, Zilotis eventually graduated into the highest-grade warriors; becoming the Warrior-Champion of his Paketo, the right hand to the Major Domo, who was his own cousin. Eventually being raffled into serving as the Warrior-Champion of the Lykos Kinsman Republic, Zilotis served under Republic's Major Domo Polemistis. Serving for two decades, Zilotis was eventually imprisoned when he was found guilty for the attempted assassination of his Paketo's Major Domo; imprisoned in the Yermo region of Exusia.

Eventually brought back into his service when his Plea for Honor was approved; Zilotis fell back as Warrior-Champion to an unappeased Polemistis. Serving another seven years; the Brotherhood of Makuta launched a large-scale invasion on Exusia, followed by the Order of Mata Nui who tried to aid the Lykos people; but found themselves at the barrels of the Republic's weapons. Eventually convincing the Republic's Council to stand down, Zilotis took total control over the Lykos Military; exiling Polemistis from the society in order to eliminate resistance. Forming a pact with the Brotherhood; Zilotis ordered his troops to turn attention to Order members; eventually driving the Order out as the Brotherhood soon took control over Exusia.

Excused from slavery most other Lykos Kinsman were trapped in, Zilotis formed an Authoritarian-like control over the remaining Lykos People; forming the Remnants of the Lykos, becoming their 'Hand'. Since his control, Zilotis has spread massacre around Aqua Magna; primarily aimed towards the Order whilst still allies with the Brotherhood. This is enough for Zilotis to become a head target for most of the Order; seeing how he supplies weapons and troops to the Brotherhood in return for power.

Core beliefs: Zilotis appears to have a mindset where he believes that he and the Lykos People should ultimately take control of the Universe and raise Lykos Transcendence. He looks to have power over all species and organizations, to break them down and make them the slaves of the Lykos People; primarily the Order of Mata Nui.

He opposes equal power or rights, and looks for ways to assume more power; either through onslaught or slavery. He has an urge to eliminate any competition, though he plays it safe; keeping pact with the Brotherhood of Makuta and agreeing to bring down the Order. Most Lykos Kinsman consider him dishonorable to his Paketo and species; though he finds himself to have more honor then his own people.

The reason I give more background and character to Zilotis, is just because of what role he will play in my stories; and even though he is applied for a minor character, he could '' be working alongside the Brotherhood in this story. Now without further ado, onto other Lykos Kinsman, and possible Veteran; Polemistis:''

Name: Polemistis

Species: Lykos Kinsman

Gender: Male

Abilities: Lykos Kinsman Essence Seeker mutation, (essence recognition, essence manipulation [can be used for healing, changing physical nature, etc]) and increased physical stature, (strength, speed, etc).

Bio: Born into a Lykos Kinsman Paketo dominating most of the northern region of Exusia; Polemistis was raised to the royalty of his family, planned to take control of the family as it's Major Domo when he reached the age of honor. Training with the highest-class warriors of his Paketo; Polemistis was taught how to be an exceptional warrior as was his destiny to be, living in the highest-class society in the capital of his Paketo. Trained by his father, to embrace the honor system; Polemistis grew into the age of honor, where he was then extended an invite to attend the the Yermo War College; where he then meet rival Paketo member: Zilotis, before being assigned to the same class.

Returning to his homeland after graduation, Polemistis took the seat of Major Domo when he defeated his own father honorably; ending the aged Lykos' life as was tradition. Eventually raffled into joining the Lykos Kinsman Republic's Forces out of the seven Noble Paketo's; he was elected by the Lykos Kinsman Republic's Councilpersons, serving as the Major Domo, general of all Lykos Forces. His right hand being Warrior-Champion Zilotis; the two served for a decade before Zilotis was eventually imprisoned for the in-honorable attempt to assassinate his Paketo's Major Domo, serving without a right hand for a long time, until Zilotis was eventually released for a Plea for Honor.

Seven years later; Polemistis found himself facing incredible odds against both the Brotherhood of Makuta and the Order of Mata Nui when both launched troops for Exusia. Directing his troops, and guiding his Warrior-Champion's directions; Polemistis was unsure whether or not he could handle both forces simultaneously. After Zilotis took control of the Council, Polemistis was without guidance; before Zilotis discharged Polemistis from the Republic. Returning to his homeland, Polemistis spent the rest of his days in attempt to protect his Paketo; which he failed to do.

Eventually enslaved by the Brotherhood; Polemistis was forced to serve under the Makuta as he fought against the Order for his freedom. Eventually enlightened to escape the Brotherhood; Polemistis ran from the command of the Brotherhood as he was soon discovered by the Order of Mata Nui, who first took him as a prisoner. Giving all the knowledge he could to the Order, Polemistis was eventually given a hesitant invitation to join the Order; as he tentatively agreed. Going through training, Polemistis eventually graduated in one class as he was soon called to handle more dangerous and 'dirty' tasks for the Order.

Completion of these tasks were always done smoothly and quickly; given the Lykos' training and vicious nature. Serving long and hard for the Order; his morals often clashed with the ones upheld by the Order. Competing against his leaders was constant, and Polemistis still appeared to by trouble for the Order even while he served. He became feared, and with good reason; but was usually assigned with other members to complete task's and keep him in line. He was also called to work alongside most recruits to ensure their safety; given his unusual nature to protect those who serve alongside him. Core beliefs: While Polemistis' morals and beliefs clash with the Order; and he does more than just agree with them, he believes that his service is the only way to end the war and free his people from both the Brotherhood and the Remnants of the Lykos. He believes it to be his fault that he lost the Invasion of Exusia, and that his people are in a desperate state because he abandoned them to a tyrant.

He is also protective of those under him, and believes it is his duty to ensure no one suffers fate as his Paketo eventually had to; as to why he is usually stationed with with either recruits or by himself; given this protective nature.

This finishes my minor/Veteran applications, and although the Lykos' applications might have more to say; that is only given to distinguish character who already have a very firm story to them already, (which for me makes it easier to use with firm backgrounds and morals to go off of) while Vantelic lacks background due to the fact we don't exactly know much about it, which gives a more flexible character if you want to change around background a bit, (though makes it difficult to find morals and background to go by).

Anyways, these are the applications. Hope you enjoyed reading them and I hope they can serve a purpose!
