Perhaps they were not the most skilled of mercenaries, or possessing some form of super-tech, though sufficiently so in most cases. Lada's mercenary group known as the army of Radegast had a different reputation, the unstoppable.

They did not put as much effort into defense, not outside of military level armor and often gas masks. Instead, they focused on offensive ability.

There are only three variations on the forces, making it relatively easy to know who needs to go where, militia, snipers, and elites.

Militia:

A force of individuals who were taught to put themselves into a mindset of the mission over their lives. When going into battle and putting on their equipment, they take on a totally different perspective then that they might have normally had. Pushing themselves as hard as they could to achieve the objective set before them.

These people are not strategists, knowing only a series of groupings and maneuvers that are usually enough to get them where they need to be. Their primary training is in destroying a target, reacting to a target, and obeying orders. Often in groups of three and two, three leading the charge, and two watching the back, the moment they see movement that is not where and how an ally would be moving, they let lose on it. They are often very strong and fast, as well as good at firing, however aside from their willingness to die so quickly to achieve a goal, they are not superior to a legitimate military force unless someone good is commanding them.

Militia are occasionally armed with additional weapons, such as varying forms of explosives or miniguns.

Snipers:

The snipers do not have to sit with the same, mission before life mindset, as they are rarely right in the middle of battle. Their focus is on learning everything that's going on, and being able to take out individuals, sometimes mid-conflict. Trained to move quickly, blend in, get to hard to reach or find places, and actually hit what they're aiming for, the snipers can make things more convenient when trying to lure someone into a trap.

They know a lot more methods then the militia do and are more often used when Lada wants to get a point across to someone without losing many resources in the process.

Elite:

Elites are a good deal more skilled then the militia. They are often either sent in with a squad in their command, or alone. Lada typically has one or two accompanying her when she goes places, often posing as a driver.

They are trained to be extremely skilled in armed and unarmed combat, taught by Lada herself. Brutal with every strike, intent on breaking down their opponent. And if they manage to put up a defense, they'll break that down too. Rarely does an elite put up a guard, rather when there's an incoming attack they'll counter it with an attack of their own, occasionally at an angle in order to inflict more damage on their enemy.

They are expert marksmen and, being trained by Lada, are not unfamiliar with fighting superhumans. Often they are armed with multiple weapons, daggers, heavy hand guns, and powerful machine guns. They are typically either not armored at all, or provided with state of the art Graphene armor and bulletproof plates designed to allow maneuverability but still remain bulletproof and have high resistance to blades.

Many carry powerful tasers.

"She was the type of person who was a wonder to fight with, but a terror to fight against. I feel bad for the poor souls who ever had to be on the receiving end of her fury."

"A monster, she was brutal, it was like watching someone unleash some sort of demon on the enemy. If there is someone who survived her wrath, they probably didn't stick around for long."

"Yeah I remember her, she's the reason I got where I am now. I just knew to obey orders and everything would be fine. There was nothing quite like watching her fight after she'd run out of ammunition."

Lada Odysseia Orlov, but known by many names, Gamayun, Morana, mistress of war. There are a few who have heard tales of her from during both the first and second world wars. However, a few of the more ambitious, even believe that she was once some ancient Russian deity or creature. This belief was part of what sparked calling her Morana, the goddess of winter death. Whether or not that was her true name a long time ago she has never told anyone, and she refuses to give her true age. However, there are still a few who remain who know for certain what she once truly was. Long before the world wars, when she was at least in part what they believed her to be.

However, whatever she once was, her time now she spends as a vampire mage in charge of a small international mercenary cooperation known for their utter brutality and swift eliminations on the battlefield and unwavering loyalty to getting the job done no matter the pain or death that is inflicted upon them, known as the Army of Radegast

Lada is a very intelligent woman, and one who greatly enjoys battle, whether she decides to show it or not. Sometimes however, if the battle is too boring, she'll just straight up leave. It is for this reason she sometimes puts herself in inconvenient situations in order to increase how bad her situation is so it'll be more entertaining to get out of it.

Height: 5'11"

Powers/abilities:

Mistress of magic:

All of the following powers, unless otherwise listed, are magical.

Lada is powerful in magic, and very knowledgable, her power came naturally it seems. According to her, she was born with it. It's because of this she very rarely has to cast any magic with symbols or words unless it extends beyond her normal set of magical prowess. Though she usually sticks to only a few.

Smoke magic:

A signature of hers is using the smoke from her cigarettes she often carries around. She is able to increase or decrease it's mass, and can move it around with such speed and ease that it almost becomes a solid object. This allows her to suffocate enemies, create so much smoke that she simply can't be seen. Smoke magic is also how she often uses teleportation, either moving around within the smoke, or seeming to burst into smoke. This type of magic is a lot harder to counter as the smoke itself is very much real, but increasing it to such an extent is artificial.

This has other uses however, using smoke she's able to create illusions, and even carry people elsewhere, or allows her and them to see and hear things going on somewhere else. Though she rarely does this with people who aren't neutral or on her side.

This smoke is also known for possessing other supernatural qualities. Such as granting her perception of anything within it, and nearby it. And allowing her to screw with sensory equipment and sounds within the smoke.

The ice queen:

She was called the goddess of winter after all. Lada can greatly decrease thermal energy, manipulate, increase and decrease, ice and cold water, cause magical blizzards, create weapons out of ice, and cause a deathly presence when using this magic. A presence that feels almost depressing and is known for causing fear. When she's done, her magic often dissipates on it's own.

The Nightmare-strider:

A terrifying assortment of abilities, Nightmare is merely the name for the conglomeration of mind techniques she uses. Though certain conditions must be met most of the time, by touching someone she is able to raise their worst fears to mind, as well as see them if she's willing to lose her attention to the outside world just like they are. When in a controlled situation, she can even give them complete experiences within these forced nightmares.

This gives her an extreme awareness of telepaths, both ones that are merely nearby, and those trying to get inside or control her. Not only does it give her a greater resistance, it allows her to "Stride into their mind by the path they set" should they read or try to manipulate her. This allows her to use her other nightmare abilities.

The confusion of the sleepers. Often combined with a second ability. She can spread a sort of confusion or acceptance of whatever's happening. This means that she could walk right into a military base, and as she goes the people who sense her enter a state as if they were asleep and not able to think properly, seeing her as just another part of the dream and the job. This ability is more difficult to use on people who are used to fighting telepathy, mind control, or who are immune to hypnosis.

The nightmare realm: She is able of entering someones dreams, or her own, traveling through them to come out elsewhere. Whether by going person to person, or directing the persons dream towards somewhere, often making it darker as she does so, and allowing her to leave at that place. This also allows her to enter her own mind and essentially vanish into a pocket dimension within herself. In this realm she is the absolute master as it all belongs to her and obeys her every whim.

Daylight alteration:

As Lada is in fact a vampire, she does have the weakness of sunlight, though that's about the only one she does have. However, in time, she had learned how to alter the direction of the sunlight in such a way that it appears darker for her as well as moves around her giving the appearance she has no shadow, or a very feint one, but also keeping the sunlight from truly harming her skin.

Shapeshifter:

Lada can change her appearance from one thing to another with relative ease. However, it's purely temporary and she cannot maintain any other form permanently. It also decreases her ability to use her magic.

Telekinetic:

Although not as good at sending cars flying or halting meteors, she has a notable way of using it. She often uses it to raise multiple weapons into the air and fire or throw them all at an enemy creating a massive barrage.

Transparent discs:

Lada can create discs of potential/kinetic energy. Until hit, they seem almost to not be there. But she is able to see them as almost constant rippling circles. These discs are capable of deflecting things with kinetic energy that pushes against whatever comes to them. On occasion she's used these offensively, sending them flying on their sides to cut or simply shoving them forwards creating a forceful shove.

Time-shift:

De-wound:

Though there are many applications to this potentially. The main one she uses it for is reversing a wound. In one second, it can reverse a wound to whatever it's area was five seconds before the present. When used on more then three people at a time, it can only do one wound per time. So it does have a weakness, six deadly wounds would still kill the person. And if the injury would still be there after the five second back-step, then it is still there. This often is used on groups of troops in order to greatly increase how many make it out alive. She can use this on herself, but rarely does so.

Technically speaking, time shifting is a term for all her chronokinetic magic. She rarely uses other aspects.

Skip:

Another aspect to time shift, this moves her five seconds forwards or backwards from where she was or would be spatially. Although it can be increased or decreased in time, this is the most typical.

Boost:

One of only a few abilities she has that is specifically meant for others. Lada is able to boost the abilities of others through magic, increasing their strength, speed, perception, and skill, based on how much magic she's exerting.

Verbal/symbol magic:

Weaknesses:

Name: Jaiden Crafter

Age: Uncertain (Appears 16)

Height: 5'2"

Species: Undead semi revenent

Powers:

Undead: No matter how much damage Jaiden is put through, she cannot die unless she is made human again. Her body will eventually drag itself back together, or she will find some flesh to feed off of in order to regenerate back together. She maintains awareness at almost all times unless asleep or her head is obliterated, in which case her body will act on instinct until she has had it returned or it can regenerate. While no amount of chemical effects can forcefully drain her awareness, certain powers, the right advanced technology, or magical abilities are able to do so to an extent. Thanks to being essentially dead, Jaiden actually gives off no heat, which means her skin is almost always room temperature.

Dead eyes: Jaiden's eyes can be seen as being slightly glazed over, and a bit slow in movement. She actually has trouble making out details due to this and is mostly only able to get out a pretty good idea of figures, coloring, movement, and light changes. Despite this, her ability to perceive enough for combat is sufficient in her opinion, but she still can have issues both in day to day life and in combat if her opponent has small enough weapons that blend with the background and move slowly.

Revenants power: When Jaiden eats fresh blood or flesh she gets superhuman attributes adding onto her abilities based on what she consumed, a rabbit will make her faster and give her greater hearing and smell, while cow flesh will give her far greater strength and stamina. Human or superhuman flesh or blood gives her a far greater boost in power, and increases all her abilities as well as allows her to see normally if she fed on a human, or beyond if it was the power of what she fed on. This may result in glowing snake like eyes rather then normal human eyes.

Starved rampage: When she's been unable to get her hands on fresh food for awhile she begins to deteriorate, but she also ends up going into a rather dangerous rampage of sorts. This makes her superhuman in attributes and brings about the snakelike eyes and superhuman vision and speed in particular, but it is short lasting and will calm after she's eaten. It makes her unable to truly think hard, but due to her significant abilities, this is rarely a problem until afterwards. She hates getting like this, so tries to avoid it at all costs.

Aidan and Nadia

Nadia:

Bio: The twins claim to be descendents of an ancient guardian of the waters they have been known to be around for over four thousand years. They however left many alone as they battled other worldy attackers. But now they have returned to be ruling guardians

The Water Dragons (A loyal people of the twins):

under construction

Dragon warriors are an ancient select group of what was thought to be only humans. They had to be trained in a very special way to do what they do. As a group, they were a cult. But that was mostly forgotten. Some of the ways of old remained but it was mostly in training it resided in, not in the ritualistic sacrificing of dragons that they gained their names from. Dragon warriors had to be able to deflect a sniper bullet with their swords, move too fast for most to keep up even if they had precognition, be much stronger and healthier than a normal human, and use swords. That may sound easy. But it was mostly run by humans. And a human hasn't yet learned how to move fast as a sniper bullet in most cases. So there are few of them. They generally have the ability to deflect fire. Fight with only one of their senses if necessary. Are always trained to be difficult or impossible for a telepath to control or read and don't react to empaths. Ice is not often something they prepare for but they adapt quickly, lord Garian however seems to have an appreciation for it. Some have gained powers from it for unkown reasons. It is possible their diamond swords are the cause of this. Only dragon warriors actually know where they're getting this vast supply of diamonds and how they make them into swords. Some have learned telepathy, telekinesis, or pyro-kinesis. Pyrokinesis being the most common.

The diamond swords are possibly not simply diamond as they can cut into adamantium given enough force, speed, and power. Although they possess most similarities to diamonds they still seem to effectively be one of a more dangerous materials when used as a weapon.

They are under the command of Lord Garian (@lord_garian) who is known as the Dragon Warrior Prime. They are hidden somewhere on Earth but no one can find them.

A very useful fact may be they have discovered different forms of telikinesis, one of them being a form called fire bending. It is a bit different from the better known fire bending. However it holds many similarities. For instance, the firebenders of the dragon warriors are able to bend existing flames or create them themselves. Many of them are also able to produce, direct, and redirect existing lightning (although are better at plasma). It is not magic and requires certain knowldge and skills to remove, in a way it is a tapping into a force.

As dragon warriors are so effective at using energy or fire of multiple sorts their biggest weakness is still cold, so they often wear rather thick clothing not only for protection from cold but it increases their ability to create walls of fire when in groups.

Those with telikinesis (or sub group) often can preform much more powerful cuts and strikes that even the diamond swords shouldn't have been able to hold up to, and yet do.

Average strength: While lifting force seems to be at 1-5 tons once on a move, or using a form of telekineses, they are majorly enhanced reaching up to a freight train at full speed worth of force.

Highly intelligent.

Rarely speak, except some.

Some of the greatests swordsmen ever to exist.

Mysteriously good at getting in and out of places unnoticed.

Often are multilingual.

Even unarmed they are highly dangerous and a force to be reckoned with. Especially those with telekinesis.

Do not often go in groups over fifty of under three.

Rarely feel fear.

In certain situations wear protective suits in case of a poisenous fume or something that they couldn't handle, however mainly immune because of dragon fighting.

They often assist one another should someone attempt to use telikinesis on their weapons or them by using a reverse movement of telikinesis, making telekinetic attack practically useless.

Very few dragon warriors can't use some sort of kinesis or mind power.

(Short explanation of an average dragon warrior via fiction characters:

Captain America intelligence

Deadpools swordsmanship

Johny storm (human torch) fire power and/or fire bending (just google it)

At or above 2,000 mph speed (sniper bullet). So practically impossible for a human to track or even see.

Ninja skills of batman. All of the ninja skills of batman.

Mental/emotional defenses better than Proffeser X.

Above "peak" human physical fitness and health, duh.)

(Unfinished)

AMICUS:

Name: Amicus

Alias(s): Angel of death. Hades. Grimm reaper.

Powers: Teleportation in two forms, mist, and flash. Immunity to telepathy, illusions, and any manipulation of him or his senses. Light manipulation allowing the shifting of shadows, darkness, light, even to the point of temperature manipulation. Forms of telepathy. Speed always is ahead or matching opponents. Senses everything around him, and many in distance even on other planets, by the very existence of something there and it's displacement of the atoms. Can shapeshift at will, mist, shadow, crow, wolf, humanoid, and lizardlike creature. Doesn't need air, water, food, however is pleased and empowered by eating muscle or other animal pieces. Has incredible skill and power with weapons and magic (natural) and also, despite not often using it, being intelligent for strategical, clever, and other purposes often related to fighting or physical aspects. His species, elves also known as shadow masters, have natural ability to manipulate light and shapeshift as well as small forms of other magic. Amicus' were amped up by a dying magical creature who once called himself hades and was a member of the greek council of magic. Amicus was given his power and took his place as the informer and warrior of the greek council. Now with his powers heightened he was able to do things such as teleportation, accelerated regeneration, molecular manipulation, a certain form of telekinesis, being able to make extremely strong and dangerous weapons or objects, etc. Amicus was not a warrior until his fiftieth birthday (elves have very long lives) in which he experienced a raid on his village while he was working as a smithy. Then he started learning fighting to help hold off any more raids.

Strength: Top strength level not recorded.

Agility: Despite the upright position he prefers he can easily twist and turn making himself look something like a nightmare spider.

Speed: Top speed not yet recorded.

Intelligence: Immense knowledge and known to be clever, cunning, adaptive, strategical, and scientifically genius. However has become more of a sociopath and is only held on track by his determination and prayers.

Enemy: Zeus. Zeus was also an elf but he was a deceiver. Also known as an illusionist or trickster. He was often favored by the public despite having worse crimes than most warlords. He too had been giving a boost of powers by his predecessor who was not unlike the Zeus of mythology, which is actually much worse than hades because he commited more of the same crime and others which I would rather not repeat. The biggest problem was Zeus had the public opinion and if Amicus did anything to stop him all blame would fall on him. Due to him being the warrior he would be the one to help in wars, and that meant death. So he began to lose his sense of humor and joy and was often nonplussed by exciting or joyfull circumstances. Instead he would walk away and watch from a corner.

Lord garian was supposedly human. He was already an incredible fighter with great strategical mind better than any before him known. It was said he had precognition as well as a natural talent to predict outcomes of many things. Joining the dragon warriors at age 26 (long past when most join) he passed not only every dragon warrior alive but even the very first sho was part vampire. Abandoning the traditional twin diamond swords he stole his teacher black blade called Nex. He did things no other man had done including kill a vampire in mist form. Now he is known as the dragon warrior prime.

Intelligence: Garian is highly intelligent in almost any form of battle or survival as well as politically. He has never lost a strategy game. He can predict almost any move or even emotion (whether it's shown or not), and can be very good at being inventive.

Powers: Telikineses: can move bigger than tank sized objects with relative ease but prefers small objects and extreme precision. Telepathy: although he has to touch his victim he can and prefers to drive them insane. He can also drive an attacker insane. Various small abilities.

Nex enhancements: increases speed, strength, and durability threefold. Increases intelligence twofold. Can cut through adamantium easily. Is and makes user invulnerable to most forms of magic and heat manipulation as well as other forms of manipulation. Give user increased magic powers.
