  In spite of his rather serious nature, Ingvar tends to act (and react) before thinking a lot of the time, relying on instinct over pondering the correct course of action. There are notable exceptions, such as violence. While he might engage in sparring, when it comes to a real fight, he lacks the casual approach that many Mourning Islanders take to such matters. He also has a keen interest in what lies beyond the horizon, and finds himself fascinated by stories of the lands outside of Arvum.

• Neve Greenmarch  + (In the Greenwood Forest, Neve was always k …
  In the Greenwood Forest, Neve was always known as a bright, smiling, bubbly girl of whimsical nature. When she ran through the forest, the sun shone just a little brighter, the wind blowing through the boughs a little more talkative. They seemed to give just a bit more shade in her wild, wondering presence. Grown now, she wears her heart on her sleeve, filled with whimsy, love, and a curious nature borne from the dichotomy of her upbringing, blending the wildness and abandon of the forest into the refined echelon of the cities. There are moments when Neve longs to retreat back to that bastion of greenery, when the city is foreign and overwhelming, the customs to learn abundant. But inevitably, the daughter of the forest finds some new spark of joy in refinement, some solace in a quiet place, some understanding of family and home, and her unquenchable spirit is renewed.
  e, and her unquenchable spirit is renewed.)
• Sara Steelhart  + (In the typical fashion of a Steelhart, Sar …
  In the typical fashion of a Steelhart, Sara presents an outwardly sombre demanour. Shaped by her mother's suicide, she's become more withdrawn and temperamental. She's difficult to approach or get to know, preferring to spend time alone if she can help it, alone from humans anyway.

  Incredibly sweet and bubbly, it's remarkable that a certain PRINCE seems to avoid her presence constantly. She rarely seems to struggle to make a friend whether in the Twilight Court or in the realm of their allies. One can only assume she has an unbearable charm, the effects of which can't be countered, only delayed.

• Xandrine Morgan  + (Independent to the point of weakness, Xand …
  Independent to the point of weakness, Xandrine is driven by her heart above all else: heart over head, every time. She'd never make it as a noble. She is as unfettered in her delight as in her despair. She feels with her whole heart -- and sometimes with her fists, and sometimes with her knives. She probably wants to fight you but don't worry, it will be fun.

  Independent. Headstrong. Confident. Poised. All words Tesha's become accustomed to hearing attributed to her for as long as she can remember. She gives off an immediate aura of experience, conveying the sense that she's seen more than her young age would have allowed. Courteous and polite, as a proper Telmar noblewoman ought to be, Tesha shows an uncommon ambition and drive when she applies her considerable intelligence to solving problems of politics, strategy, or economics. She's fiercely loyal to the Telmar name, and to the sense of duty that comes from being a member of the Valardin's strong right hand.

  Indolent is one of the first descriptors drawn for when asked about this man. An innate flaw of Sergei's very being seems to the lack of any real drive, or desire to do much else then fulfil his base needs. It is easy to assume he is a creature lead by the instruction of his lessor mind, eternally ignorant of the greater one between his shoulders. Sergei has a dark affect offset by a too-easy-going nature, sharp tongue behind a smiling mouth and the potential for great wit (if ever it showed itself). There is more to him then this though-- surely. Gods, please let there be some redeeming feature here. Maybe he writes poetry in his spare time or, or something... who knows.

  Ingrid Grimhall is not quite as 'grim' as many of her family members (especially her father) yet she is a serious young woman. Sometimes in conversation it will appear she is not listening at all, but off in her head thinking through a new subject intensely. She gravitates towards people with similar interests, the usually quiet and reserved lady opening up in discussions of law, economics, and other scholarly persuits. More comfortable in small gatherings than large groups of people, but Ingrid knows that sometimes socializing is important for the nobility. She is not easy to get to know, keeping her emotions hidden to all but the few she is close with.

  Inquisitive and bright, this woman has a hunger for delving into secrets and mysteries. Forgetting meals for the opportunity to peel away layers of obscuring detail, pursuing threads dangling tantalizingly within reach. A wry sense of humour that is threatened by the sort of experiences that could make someone jaded.

  Inquisitive and good natured, Hickson has a gift for conversation, and seems to relish in every detail. He enjoys teaching, and will take the time to walk students through his thinking, or to listen to the stories and thoughts of others. He is also slow to anger, and generally exhibits a cool head when situations go sideways. His manners and style of speech are such that he fits in relatively comfortably with nobility and commoners alike.

• Emery Ojitfor  + (Inquisitive and passionate. Emery wants to …
  Inquisitive and passionate. Emery wants to know everything about everything, but her loyalties are quite set. She sees herself as a woman rescued, if narrowly, and has a kind of traumatized undercurrent to anything she speaks fervidly about. She's one of those people who is slow to trust, but once she trusts, it is almost unconditional.

• Arthen Dayne  + (Insatiably curious. Unshakeably brave. Que …
  Insatiably curious. Unshakeably brave. Questionably moral. Dayne is a creature who divides opinion. People seem to either love him or hate him, and this is usually colored by whether or not he is on their side. He's a man who covers his doubts and fears with wit and sarcasm, often creates his own rules when the actual rules don't suit him, and never gives up even when the stakes get high enough to turn most back. The line between courage and foolishness is a fine one, but it's one he strives to straddle, and it's far from the only fine line he walks for the sake of his profession.

• Insaya Bergere  + (Insaya can't be all things to all people, …
  Insaya can't be all things to all people, but that doesn't mean she can't make a try of it. She has a real knack for fitting in wherever she goes, melting through different social classes like butter on hot toast. Her senses are keen and honed on picking up those little details that others may miss. A warm flirt, a keen observer, a quick wit, an elusive shade of a woman whose inner core is of sturdy steel but whose outward surface shifts and flows like watered silk. She has a deep-borne tinkerer's fascination with people, with a hobbyist's desire to pick apart their motivations to the roots and find out how they tick. She balances a powerful private interest in abstract justice with a deep wellspring of independent ambition, for which the Inquisition is a fine outlet.

• Falak A'Sib  + (Inscrutable from behind the mask mask, the …
  Inscrutable from behind the mask mask, the Eye of the Prophet coldly speaks in often religious allegory and metaphors, with unclear meanings. It is difficult to discern much of his (?) personality, save that the Eye is a fanatic. Despite a tone full of religious fervor, it is very hard to say what the Eye truly wants.

• Aelgar Navegant  + (Intelligence and curiousity are often the …
  Intelligence and curiousity are often the things most people notice first about him. A more perceptive observer might note his common sense and consistently calm demeanor. He seems to act more from duty and considered thought than from emotion, although he is typically quick to laugh and to care. There is footloose streak to him as well, a restless need to search and learn.
  well, a restless need to search and learn.)
• Octavia Kennex  + (Intelligence and forthrightness are the st …
  Intelligence and forthrightness are the stalwart pinnacles of Octavia's strong will, which in itself could move mountains. Rather than apply charm to grease the wheels of life, she has simply taken on a different kind of brute force than the kind that comes in muscle. It is extremely difficult to change a position of Octavia's once she has taken it. She is a champion of justice, a champion of the underdog, and above all, a champion of Octavia Kennex. Practical and pragmatic with a potential for ruthlessness, she is completely secure in herself. Her sense of humor is one of bright wit and sharp sarcasm, and she rarely withholds its presence from any conversation, even professionally.

  Intelligent and confident, Yasmine hasn't lived the easiest life, but uses her experiences to make herself happy. She does what she needs to do, and finds the good in most situations. She loves to perform, to act, to lose herself in a part she plays, whether she mimics the most successful courtesans, or a wicked brigand in a show. She has a sense of loyalty about her that never waivers, proud of her family and her people, even though most of Arx may ostracize her for her origins. She is not blind to the drawbacks of her people, but she also takes note of the shortcomings of the others around her. But, like her own life, she tries to find the good in people. It's always useful, whether it makes her more money by her performance pleasing them, or getting out of a bad situation by knowing the people around her, and their motivations.

  Intelligent, intrepid, and inquisitive, Siobhan is equally comfortable taking to the seas, or two a game of wits after a hard night's drinking. She's spent more than one night drinking alone however, as while she's not unfriendly, she's not all that great at picking up on social cues. In fact, she's downright horrid at it, saying the exact wrong thing at the exact wrong moment. She doesn't tend to let that bother her however, and is determined to live life to it's fullest regardless, confident that those who get to know her will eventually come to appreciate her as she is, blunt frankness and all.

• Angelica Sanna  + (Intense. Focused. She has her task and her …
  Intense. Focused. She has her task and her duties and she does them to the best of her ability. Her joy is the satisfaction of a job done well. Confident, outwardly calm, it's hard to say what she'd be like if she lost control. As it is, she's as placid as a deep lake, grounded and at times unfathomable.

  Intensely curious, Aeden's sense of boundaries can be overshadowed by his excitement at the prospect of learning something new. It is almost always an eagerness born of innocent inquiry, but the comfort of those subjected to it cannot always be said to feel the same. He is always trying to learn, which has him often approach people with questions, making him affable, if not always welcomed. A colorful youth has left him a bit wisdom for his age, a sharp mind and wit keeping him from more perilous encounters initiated by his inquisitive tongue.

  Intensity is the name of the game. Its not that she's incapable of laughter or cheer, more that anything she does she does 110%. She doesn't seem to possess an 'off' switch, even her times of quiet seem intently focused. Whether drinking, fighting, carousing, or studying, she throws all of herself into the activity.

  Introspective, but exhuberant. Swinging between moments of deep thought and moments of sudden, even brash action when the time comes for it. Filled with an undying love for the riddles that metal hold, with a childlike sense of wonder when watching other crafters work their arts - happy to simply 'be', uncaring for the past and doing his best to simply let the future come to him, with a joie de vivre for all things in life: good or bad. Just as long as they happen.

• Filshiar Shieldborne  + (Introverted, intelligent, and reserved in …
  Introverted, intelligent, and reserved in character, Filshiar's is a quiet warmth that rarely entirely fades. When it is gone, all that is left is the cold breath of his fury, and there is little that can withstand this. Deeply loyal to persons over principles, he feels for friends and comrades with overpowering passion, an amiable and unstinting devotion that makes all else pale before it. Easygoing and quiet typically, he is more likely to smile than laugh, and rarely boisterous, but enjoys the bonhomie of others around him, soaking up delight like a kind of human positivity sponge. Compassionate and dedicated, his gentleness and kindness seem his most common traits -- but his sturdy will and raw ferocity are astounding when he provoked.

• Iona Bisland  + (Iona is a good woman, and by the gods, she …
  Iona is a good woman, and by the gods, she will make others good if it ends her. She has little patience for idiocy, and doesn't hesitate to, -very carefully-, tear someone down, until they change their ways. She's ultimately diplomatic, avoiding offering offense without cause, but she's less concerned with someone's tender feelings, and more about making them a better person as a whole. She's vicious against her enemies and fiercely loyal to her allies. Woe be unto those that betray her ? there is no coming back from that. The world is a glorious place and life is to be revered, but sometimes practicality must take precedence, and that means battle, both literal and figurative.

• Iosif Grimhall  + (Iosif is outwardly a reserved man, keen of …
  Iosif is outwardly a reserved man, keen of intellect and serious of nature. He tends to be patient but relies mostly on instinct to guide him through social interactions, especially with strangers. Playing his cards close to his chest, he's a tough nut to crack, but once past this layer of studied control one can find a man with a sharp wit and easy sense of humour. He enjoys hunting and sailing in equal measure, finding himself called frequently into the wild. When he is among the civilised, he is known to enjoy storytelling as an artform.

• Ira Dedalin  + (Ira is possessed of a deep passion, and a …
  Ira is possessed of a deep passion, and a manic disposition that rages from illicit levels of excitement, to sickening levels of depression at the drop of a hat. He has a particular knack for pursuing natural philosophy and science as not an intellectual, academic pursuit with which to better mankind -- but as an art form, with which to better the very soul. Keen, intelligent, and liberal in his sexual relations -- Ira possesses an independence of spirit, mind, and soul that only educated commoners might have... until they are slapped down by their noble lords, and reminded that they are, of course, common. Free from the trappings of responsibility, he pursues whatever philosophical fancy catches his mind at the moment -- and they are multitude. Of course, this might often be seen as only petty and selfish narcissism. What honest, good man has no family, no prospects, and occupies himself with funny experiments all day? While other people treat him with a well-earned disdain for his lack of normality, he sees them all as lacking in ambition. An ambition and vision that he's cultivated for years.

  Iroh is an individual that can be best described as a philosopher, wise beyond his years. He possesses a generally humble and soft-spoken attitude paired with a sarcastic sense of humor to grant him a friendly and approachable demeanor. However, almost paradoxically, Iroh knows when it is time to be serious. He can be cruel and merciless, should the situation call for it. Overall though, Iroh is a kind fellow who cares and cares deeply. However, there is also no mystery too great, no strategy too complexing, and no battle too great.

• Irony Aerisian  + (Ironna Aerisian could be best described as …
  Ironna Aerisian could be best described as 'enthusiastic', and even that might be an understatement. Irony has Goals she plans to achieve, and the way she talks about them the capital letter is all but audible. So, so many goals... and nearly all of them are to do with being a Hero of the Realm, or a Knight of Valor, or a Reknowned Champion... or something else that can be capitalized dramatically and -- as she puts it -- make a /difference/. Oh, she's certainly friendly to those around her, but she can be terrifyingly intense when she finds someone knowledgable about the topics that interest her. And she seems to have led a surprisingly sheltered life in some ways, as the things she can be curious about are both many and varied.

  Irrepressible: that might be the first word to come to mind when thinking of Imogene. Irrepressible energy, irrepressible mirth, irrepressible temper, irrepressible volubility -- it's all so easily seen on Imogene's surface that it's perhaps understandable if people tend to accept her at face value, to readily believe that just what she looks to be, she is. But beneath that flighty exterior, concealed behind the sparkle of her eyes, there is a thoughtfulness, a shrewdness even; a hint of mystery. She can give off an air of the most exquisite elegance and grace when she puts her mind to it, and she's capable of surprising people with both words and deeds, to the point where no one can say just why she does what she does sometimes. Which gave rise to the second word of her reputation: unpredictable.

  Is he brilliant or imbecilic? Is he of fantastic manner or exceedingly irreverent? Jev is a polarizing individual: people tend to hate him or love him. His flights of fancy, odd misjudgements and spontaneous outbursts are often considered either endearing or grossly inappropriate and annoying. Always finicky and seldom serious. Or is he being serious? His eccentrism nearly makes him a parody of himself. Those intrepid enough to get to know him, however, tend to learn something else.

  Isabeau knows what happens to heroes - they die - and she has determined never to be one. No, Isabeau sees no need to take up arms and shield in defense of honor - there's enough of that among her people. Instead, she gives them something to champion. That's not to say Isabeau is a reckless woman, and certainly not a helpless one. But she's not at all averse to playing a damsel in distress if it can get her what she wants, and she's not ashamed to rally her chivalrous acquaintances against necessary targets with some true ruthlessness, at times. Some of it is smarts, she sees the courtly games for what they are and plays to win for the good of what family she has left. There's also a part of her that simply enjoys the feeling of power she gets when she wins someone to her side or influences someone to do what she wants, all while remaining a kind and loving woman.

  Iseulet carries herself with the regal poise of a Queen though there are some that would say more like a cat. They might not be wrong, as there is definitely something about the way she moves that evokes leonine temperance and grace. This capricious nature is moderated by a coquettish disposition, a wicked wit, and sharp sense of humor. Recent years in Arx have worn away her cynicism and polished her rough edges to reveal her as a sophisticated woman. Looking past her outward charm, many find that she has a surprising mind for numbers and business, her intelligence parallel to her beauty.

  Ishmael is someone who is eager to help out. He takes a great deal of pride in his work and his ability to be of use to those that he serves. He is always polite, though not above giving his own opionion. Still, even in disagreement he is able to maintain a level of respect. Ishmael has spent a great deal of time serving the nobility, so his manners are more polished then the average commoner but he still does not step out of line.

• Isidora Valardin  + (Isidora likes to play at being very stoic …
  Isidora likes to play at being very stoic and emotionless, however, this attempt breaks when she is put under strain or someone teases her too much. This can be a mixed bag of reactions, typically anger or embarrassment. Very little doesn't make Isidora blush. She can think someone or something is very cute and it'll make her blush, though, she works hard at hiding it when she does turn red. So hard that, depending on the person, she might react in anger if brought to her attention. Isidora is very compassionate, though, not overly affectionate and has quite the temper. Despite all this Isidora is extremely loyal and she bears a honor code of her own, which is to say she /tries/ not to talk about people behind their backs, tries not to do anything that she, or her family, would deem dishonorable.

  It can be hard to peg Amerigo's personality. He has charm, swagger, the look of a Steward who in another life could have gone on to be a pirate. He is smart as a whip, and will engage in wordplay and banter at the drop of a hat. He will take the side of an argument opposite the other person simply to have the argument and learn how they think. But, behind all that, behind the sarcasm and biting remarks is a man loyal to his family and commited to doing what is in the best interest of the House and its members. Just understand that if he's asked to do something, it is highly likely he will tell you no, even send a messenger back with a long winded response as to why he won't do it...only for the requested item or happening to show up moments later because he was working on it the whole time.

  It has been said of Kaiden that he would be far easier to understand if he were a set of twins, alternating which arrived depending upon the moment and occassion. The truth is that he really does -try- to be the outgoing, sociable, friendly fellow that he seems to believe he's supposed to be. He's just not that good at it. His isolated childhood made him quiet and prone to withdraw and listen, rather than be more actively involved in conversations. He tends to think before he acts, sometimes far more than he ought to, making him at times seem hesitant. He is slow to anger, preferring to try and solve problems rather than escalate them.

• Driskell Stillwater  + (It is rare that anything seems to upset or …
  It is rare that anything seems to upset or alarm Driskell, a man who has served the Thraxan house of Darkwater for many years. He is always socially correct, although at times looks more warrior than steward and has no problems giving dry witty comments when the situation calls for them. He understands that his purpose for existence is to serve and he takes great pride in his work and status so that his employers can focus their attentions and resources without any distractions.

  It is rumored that Darrow of House Darkwater has not laughed in fifteen years. Even as a youth and squire he was known as 'Dour Darrow', and his somberness is matched only by his relentlessness. While not openly hostile, he can be curt and is often laconic, though his words are known for intelligence when he does speak. He's harshly just, stoic, and severe in his dealings with others. He doesn't exactly lack charisma, though those that gather to him are the type more interested in doing, not saying.

  It is the one-eyed man who is king over the blind. All his life, Gerrick has been aware that things don't simply happen. There are no coincidences in this world. Things are linked, connected. There is a cause for every effect and yet those around him so infrequently question, instead they blindly accept what answers they are fed. Not Gerrick! He questions, he investigates, he goes seeking those mysteries to bring them into the light! On his own time, that is. While he is a dedicated observer of the unknown and cryptic, he is also dutiful about his professional life as investigator, former Tracker and sometimes guard captain for the Keaton family. He might not always have the free time for his investigations, but he's always paying attention!

• Roland Bergere  + (It isn't that Roland is stubborn, exactly. …
  It isn't that Roland is stubborn, exactly. It's just that once he sets his mind on something, it takes an almighty lever to move him. He readily admits when he is wrong, if he /is/ wrong, because he is most certainly not proud. But if he thinks he is right and has enough faith or knowledge to back it up, it is nearly impossible to budge him. He plants his feet and grips his mace and simply stays put. He's very uncertain about anything that he doesn't know well (which is most things other than whalloping stuff and sheep) and is horribly tongue-tied around most people, including but most especially ladies and gentlemen who are attractive. At heart, he's a farmboy and a shepherd, and is most happy with a nice beverage, a roaring fire, and stars to look at - but on the opposite end of that is his absolutely resolute dedication to protecting people who cannot protect themselves. He has been entrusted with the ability to guard others and keep them safe so that they may enjoy the lives that the gods have given them, and he takes that as seriously as it can be taken.

  It may be a somewhat trite metaphor, but it is entirely apropros to picture Lia as a babbling brook. A seemingly boundless font of both optimism and enthusiasm, she has been accused often of being an unequivocal idealist and rather exhausting to boot. She smiles and damns ill luck for naught, whether or not it may tempt fate, and tends to utilize laughter as the proverbial blunt tool for all occasions. Much like her actual, tangible tools, she is adaptable for all situations provided an endless, awkward stream of consciousness is considered suitable. This so-called pleasant facade is as unrelenting - and nearly as insurmountable - as a stone buttress, meant to dash the hopes of those who attempt to breach it to find the soft, fleshy bits underneath.

  It seems that no matter what life throws her way, Alarissa's ambitions remain unshaken: she sees her confidence as a matter of Grayson Pride over mere vanity, and to settle as anything less than legendary would be to do her esteemed blood wrong. Quick to smile and slow to anger, she seems to put her cultured disposition to its best use in making people feel at-ease, though she's developed a bit of a dry wit and can even sound flippant at times. Above all, she seems to harbour a desire to make others know how good she is, even if to do so she must indulge in the occasional white lie or overt act of generosity.

  It takes a lot of work to appear always calm, cool and relaxed, and Evaine is a very hard worker. She moves with languid grace, speaks with an unhurried tone verging on a drawl, and even her smiles are a slow, deliberate curl. This langorous demeanor is, however, paired with an intense drive, and focus. Never does Evaine shy away from a goal because the way to it is difficult. She is not a procrastinator, nor easily distracted.

  It would be a mistake to consider Austen a dull man. While not especially outgoing, he is determined and decisive, and his silence is not borne of thoughtlessness or shyness: he's just terrible at small talk. Additionally, deception is not something Austen does: he is consciously opposed to it and terrible at it on the rare occasion he tries. He is fiercely protective of his family and the few people close to him. Threats are not beyond him, regardless of who the threat is, but he can usually get the sentiment across by glaring daggers.

  It would be easy for a girl newly emerged from the backwater of Valardin lands to be starry-eyed, with grass-seeds in her hair and no concept of how to handle the big city. But Verity's love for life translates into her being like a fish introduced to water. She lives, she loves, she laughs, she fights. There's not an experience out there that she doesn't want to try or hasn't already sampled, and her enthusiasm for new delights and old ones remains undiminished.
