Okay, since no one is really doing something, i'm going to try my hand at this.
All right, so I was thinking about having good vs. evil. There's this empire, Archonia, great place, right? Wrong, the villagers decided, "yeah, we's gonna stop our King and Queens rule, now!" Of course they couldn't have done this alone, so this group called The Red Masque Assassins (Red for short), decided to help them, for their own profit. The fighting has been in favor of the Royal Family, but then, they start losing some battles. Don't know why, then their son goes missing. He's the only heir to the throne so he needs to be there. Then we can start the story.
People can choose to be a part of the Royal Family's army, or servants; An Assassin, or a normal villager. In this thing, anyone can use magic. but it's kinda limited to elements, and enhancing natural abilities. There can be some kind of gift or heirloom they can own that would channel their magical abilities. If they choose villager or servant, they can be whatever age they like, but Assassins/Army should be over 18. No matter what, they may choose a pet to have with them.
Oh, the pet can be a "soul animal" type of thing that can speak to them with their minds and/or be a channel to their magic with/instead of an object. I was gonna let them have up to 2 things to channel through, and three abilities, which would mean 2 Elements: 1 Ability 2 Abilities: 1 Element 3 Abilities: 0 Elements 3 Elements: 0 Abilities
Made a template too:
Name:
Age:
Appearance:
Ability/Element: (up to three)
Channeling object/animal: (up to 2)
Traits:
Pet: (may substitute for object)
Allegiance: (if in Assassin/Army, please state your rank)
and I've made my character, so i guess i'm ahead of all of you. duh! sound remotley good to y'all?

Name: Saakia Owens
Age: 17
Appearance: She has silken, wavy blue-black hair, and her eyes are a deep sapphier blue that only enhances(sp?) the blue in her hair. She is of average height, around 5'7", andhas a slight hourglass figure. She will not tell anybody her weight, it is a private affair only for her mind.
Ability/Element: She is well aware that she has control over fire, water, and wind.
Channeling object/animal: Her grey house cat, Shadow, whom is also her soul-animal. A necklace sits on her chest, a pale aquamarine stone in the shape of a heart, a gift from her dead mother for her 16th birthday.
Traits: She is a very intelligent girl, and loves word play. She has a bad habit of confusing anybody who does not know her, and people who do know her. Her mother died in childbirth, and her father was killed in the war. Dispite these facts, she is still a very cheery girl, and relatively social with everybody in her village. Her fellow villagers in the small village she resides in all claim that without her, this would indeed be a dark and dreadful war for them, not a good way to try and keep normal life going through it all. But she brings and leaves happiness in her wake. With her parents gone, the village has become her family, and she does not want to lose another piece of her. Who knows what dark secrets can be held behind a pretty and cheerful face?
Pet: Her grey house cat, Shadow, whom is also her soul-animal
Allegiance: She is a villager, so her allegiance is with her fellow townsfolk.

Name: Sasha "Ice" (tends to b known as Ice rather than Sasha and she refuses 2 say her real name)
Age: 19
Appearance: Hazel eyes that tends to veer off into dark green a lot, they dnt exactly change with her mood- but they change alot. Her hair has been cut short and is perimantly messy, it's sort of dark chocolate brown with a sort of fringe that she cn pull ovr her eyes if she wants to. Her face structure with very stark and nt very homely. high cheek bones (think skinny johnny depp), sharp nose, sharp chin, defined jaw line, and large wide eyes. She built slimly, and she moves like a cat, shes very skinny (almost unhealthily), dispite being so skinny she does have a figure and her chest isn't all that large, bt it looks larger on her (it's a good thing she's nt an archer). she is on the shortr side of average reaching about 5 ft 5 1/2. she has a tatoo of of a rose surrounded by bloody thorns on her upper left arm with words inscripted beneth, bt nt in the known language of where she or her fellow villagers r frm.
Ability/Element: has absolute control ovr fire and earth and incredible eye sight even at night.
Channeling object/animal: her object is an opel ring she always wears. it's very simple, a silver band and a small gem in the middle. there is the same inscription from her arm on the inside of her ring. her brother got it for her when she was very young, but never told her how he got it or where.
Traits: she's bossy, loud, arrogant, blunt, motivatvated (and very motivational), friendly, kind, elusive and talkitive. she has the appearance of someone trying to forget their past and start a new- which is exactly what she is. her 2 brothers, father and three uncles died fighting for the royals and she kinda got a bit bitter about it, and blamed (nt the royals themselves- shes nt tht nieve) tht army, and decided they really didnt care about the ppl fightin 4 them bcoz their income stoppd comin in bcoz they only had 2 ppl workin in the hse coz so many ppl of theirs died- so she switched sides and ran away frm home bcoz of it so her mum cudnt persuade her nt to (she had been 17 @ the time). evry1 nos this (where she is) bt no 1 has the guts 2 ask her, the last person hu did landed in hospital for a week. she's also a good fighter, her natural ability hasn't been enhanced, bt she's naturally quick at picking things up and as such mirrorin a person's move wen she has seen it twice (at the most). dispite this, she is very friendly and enjoys talking to ppl immensely, ppl learn very quickly tht her arrogance isnt tht deep and is far more liked with stubbornness than anything else. she also has a bad habit of hating 2 leave anythin unfinished, so she always has 2 gt a job dun no mttr wat. a sort of "dont start wat u cnt finish" type person.
Pet: soul pet is a snake. she camoflages against what evr shes against and is extremely proud and protective ovr Ice.
Allegiance: Assassin- shes a very good assassin and has risen pretty quickly thru the ranks. she's still more of a soldier, too young 2 b anything else, bt she's the 1 tht is most likely to gt tld the plans and put in charge of them. she's also in on the personal gain side of the reds- only coz she's an outsider comin in, they wnt tell her till shes proved herself.

Not too sure I understand the story, but ...
Name: Rourke Laggen
Age: 22
Appearance: Short, mousy, thin and urchin-like. Nappy, short black hair, narrow light brown eyes, small nose, copious zits, tattered rags for clothes, no shoes.
Ability/Element: Has a limited but proficient control over air
Channeling object: Splintered ax handle
Traits: Decidedly solitary, tries to be inconspicuous as much as possible, snap judge of character, makes instant decisions, wants to do things his own way, apt at scheming.
Backstory: Never knew his mother. His father was a very pro-active, very angry man who actively partook in a league that tried to overthrow Archonia's monarchy, and he was captured and executed for his crimes, reputedly tuned over by spies within said league. Rourke hates the Royal Family for what they've done to his father, he hates his late father for being so ignorant in believing that violence is the only way to take down the monarchy, and he hates the villagers because among their ranks are those who sold out his father for their own interests.
Allegiance: None
(Ok, so could you explain the story a little more clearly please? I'm afraid I'm not too clear about what is going on.)

From what I can tell, the Archonians are displeased with the Royal Family, and have started a war against the Royal Army, aided by a group called the Red Masque Assasins. The Royal Army has been winning, but for some mysterious reason now the villagers/Assasins are making headway, and now to boot the only heir to the Archonian throne has vanished.
Am I right so far?
