  Nottie is an over sharer on her personal life, she always talks about how little luck she has and how so little goes right for her. She is the type of girl that will probably trip over the tiniest rock and end up with a broken leg. She does her best to raise funds for all the woes that plague her and she keeps a happy face, despite them. Things with her just seem to go from bad to worse naturally. Though, there is a note of cunning about her.. maybe.

  Nycelani is quiet - until she's not. When she does speak it's often far fetched ideas about plots and conspiracies, and quite possibly the end of the world as we know it. She can be charming in her own way, and convincing if one isn't careful. Madness often masquerades as lucidity for a short time, but it's hard for her to maintain that facade for long.

  Nyima is a woman with something to prove. It's not that she has a chip on her shoulder, it's more that she looks at herself as an unfininshed product and she has to spend ever encountering learning something more about herself. She does not hold others to the same standard of perfection as she does herself, knowing that it's a personal drive of hers and not the fault of others. Beyond that she comes across quite warm and open, willing to talk to almost anyone. Unless they look to have greater authority than herself, and then there comes a grinding of teeth and utter politeness.

  Oberion has seen, lived, and caused a great deal of tragedy. Such things leave marks upon the soul and he has more than his fair share. Haunted by his mistakes and crippled by loss, a once vibrant, powerful man is but a shell of that lost self, fumbling blindly in a world with the weight of such misery on his back.

  Odd, some might say disturbing, but always upbeat -- so jovial, so terribly polite. A consumate professional and respected 'pharmacist' with impeccable work ethic. The quality of her other ethics, however, are left to the imagination. There are those that have suggested she suffers some sort of mental malady, possessing of an unusual manner of speech and nearly obsessive quality when it comes to her impliments, but these diagnoses seem more the decree of the murmured court of a judgmental public than anything rooted in truth.

  Oddmun is all wry warmth and sturdy practicality. Favoring animals over people generally speaking, he can apply a quiet strain of wisdom earned from his time interacting with animals to the time he has to offer for people. Unambitious does not mean lazy; Oddmun will work tirelessly towards a goal once he has it. But politics just stresses him out. He prefers a quiet conversation between intimates, or a long ride through the snow on horseback. Though not exactly shy, because Oddmun can bring bonhomie to bear when he needs it, large crowds distress him and make him long for the escape of nonjudgmental companionship, i.e., critters.

• Odin Eswynd  + (Odin is a great deal like his father: He i …
  Odin is a great deal like his father: He is loud, he is fun-loving, and he is largely optimistic. However, he is furthermore fearless and reckless in his actions, becoming like that of a mad beast in battle who takes the risks that others would deign never to take. Surprisingly philosophical and intuitive, Odin loves swinging a blade as much as he does reading a good book. His utmost hobby is the very concept of battle and raiding, where he is happiest is most certainly the sea in preparation for a raid. To his fellows and allies, he is friendly and thoughtful, though to his enemies, a nightmare of hostility.

  Of a personable sort, Leonel's lips were ever quick to curve and there was never a gravelly rumble of laughter far from his chest, nor was that mirth missing in his eyes. Intensely focused on whatever task lay ahead of him, the concept of quitting may indeed be a foreign one to him. The lively prince was a lover of varied topics, from academia to the martial pursuits, and whatever lay between. With his eyes ever on the horizon, he planned his steps far in advance and navigating treacherous road with due caution and instilled in him from such a young age to achieve his goals - whatever they might happen to be.

  Often excessively polite at first meeting, Galatea's sense of humor is typically dry, and a bit strange. A carefully-molded exterior hides enthusiasm and passion for those things with capture her interest. Always amicable, she often stops just short of being truly warm and open. A certain sense of mystery is something she willfully cultivates. Honor and dignity and justice are all very important to her, and she can have a bit of difficulty 'letting things go,' as it were. Still, she patience in excess.

  Often forgets what they are doing or saying. Frequently befuddled by normal human interactions. Prone too sharing too much, yet revealing very little. Likes to spout proverbs at people. Loves nature and is often found wandering through the woods. Never reveals their gender and will avoid the issue. Engages in alchemy as a hobby, making poultices and potions. Is perhaps a bit too assertive.

• Ademar Napolitano  + (Often nicknamed the fox of the Napolitanos …
  Often nicknamed the fox of the Napolitanos due to his gregarious and charismatic nature. To say he is fun-loving and carefree would be just the judgement of the mask. For this man is of many layers and can shift himself whenever the situation calls for it, often showing off that silver tongue of his. Only those closest to him know what lies beneath that smooth exterior.

• Maya Redreef  + (Often presenting as a distant sort, Maya i …
  Often presenting as a distant sort, Maya is not a cold person. She is withdrawn through nuture rather than nature. Having grown up apart (partly due to her mother's influence, partly due to the cruelty of her childhood peers), she struggles to identify with those around her. In truth, Maya is a woman who wants to reach out and be a part of things. She wants to be included, she wants to have fun, and she wants to find her place in the world.

  Often respectful and curious, Rysen is a seeker of both knowledge and experiences. He is thoughtful and reflective, but wears his emotions on his sleeve, which often shatters plans and expectations in the heat of the moment. He seeks to earn honor and glory in the arts of war and poetry, but knows that he has much to learn, and is more at home in the country inn or wooded glade, than the glittering halls of court.

• Asriel Darkwater  + (Oh, Asriel - brooding, brilliant, bone-tir …
  Oh, Asriel - brooding, brilliant, bone-tired Asriel. He isn't without his eccentricites, but whatever charm was lacking in the former Count Draevor Darkwater wasn't lost from the family line entirely. As it would turn out, it just blew into the sails of his brother instead. Which is to say Asriel Darkwater is terribly charming, or at least he can be when he wishes it. That charm is even sometimes enough to smooth over whatever strange glances he's prone to collecting when a wild idea finds itself entangled in the shroud of his frenetic, often unyielding curiosity. He can be generous or selfish by turns, caring or cold-shouldered, quite compendious or loquaciously brimming. The only constant is that he's rarely ever lost between them, showcasing himself as a creature of extremes.

  Oh, Io tries so HARD to be good: to be quiet, to be sweet, to be neat and tidy, to be and all the things that would make someone want to keep her around; all the things a young lady should be. OH, she tries so very, very hard -- and manages, at least half the time. No, that's generous -- a quarter, we'll say. If given leave, or in all-too-frequent unguarded moments: Iovita is quick-tempered and a little bit brash, headlong and reckless but whole-hearted with it; quick to love and easily heartbroken, sure, but just as quick to (mostly) recover from it. She has a stubbornly self-reliant streak born in response to being just old enough to understand the separation of being fostered, but not the reasons for it; it breaks down more easily than she would like to admit.

• Olin Vanha  + (Olin is warm, convivial and given to easy …
  Olin is warm, convivial and given to easy laughter. Comfortable in the company of others, he listens with interest and enters into trade with abandon, his interactions never undertaken without a jovial smile. Whether through hard work, natural inclination or some combination of the two, he hews tightly to an open affability presented to those he associates with, only rare moments finding more contemplative expression.

• Oliver Coldrain  + (Oliver is a man with a purpose - to never …
  Oliver is a man with a purpose - to never again be returned to Thralldom, and to make a name for himself. He does not form close friendships often and tends to be untrusting of people in general, but that does not mean that he is unfriendly. After all, he is a business man with an economic mind, and it is hard to get business from people you aren't friendly towards. So, most people see him as a rather jovial storyteller type, always willing to share a tale (tall or otherwise) about an adventure that he's been on, or a sight that he has seen. He can, at times, be a brooder and seems to always be attached to a flask or bottle, though he is more 'functioning drunk' than 'alcoholic'.

• Olivia Ashford  + (Olivia spends as much time under the open …
  Olivia spends as much time under the open sky as any in House Ashford, her love of trees and flowers and the smell of wet earth an almost visceral thing. It's too bad then, that she has such a strong aversion to animals of all sorts, be they tiny insects or vicious predators. People are another story however, Olivia loves to meet and catalog people almost as much as her precious herbs and flowers. She's nosy but generally well-meaning, and a bit of a gossip, though she's fiercely loyal to those she considers true friends.

• Olivian Malvici  + (Olivian is at once charming, playful, fuss …
  Olivian is at once charming, playful, fussy, and obsessively neat -- in other words, the perfect combination of traits to make for an idle, foppish clothes horse of a nobleman. He vastly prefers perfume to sweat, and silk to armor, which makes his natural talent with a blade something of a personal tragedy for him. When he fights, he fights because he's learned that running an attacker through is a better way of making them go away than flailing around and yelling 'stopitstopitstopit', and if he's going to run someone through he'd rather do it neatly because otherwise blood is going to get everywhere and maybe even on him and stains on his favorite shirt aside, few things make him quite so queasy as getting someone's blood on him. He doesn't know where that blood has been!

• Cullen Greenmarch  + (On first meeting Cullen seems blandly nice …
  On first meeting Cullen seems blandly nice. Courteous as is expected out of a Knight from the Oathlands. When one scratches the surface, however, they find a man with a wry but subtle sense of humor who has deep convictions. Cullen feels loyalty to his Greenmarch roots and culture, but he also has a deep appreciation for Valardin chivalry and culture. He walks a tightrope between the ways of his family and of his fealty careful to balance himself lest he fall onto either side.

• Dio Seraceni  + (On the seas, Dio is fierce and stern - a m …
  On the seas, Dio is fierce and stern - a man who understands necessity and uses the force of his personality to enthrall his crew with a sense of purpose and destiny. At other times, he can be personable and warm, a master storyteller, who can draw his listeners into foreign lands or times not their own, to taste victory on their lips, or feel the weight of silver coins passing through their fingers. The nature of his speech is also as mutable as the sea. He can be formal, even eloquent in the courts of Velenosa or Arx, or spit the most vile and base curses with the lowliest of cutthroats. To those inclined to pay close attention, it is clear that whatever lies underneath these cultivated personas has been locked in a well wrought chest, and buried deep.

• Eos Saik  + (On the surface and off the battlefield, Eo …
  On the surface and off the battlefield, Eos is as most honorable noblemen are. He makes good on his word and adheres to propriety in the public eye, reserving anything but the most proper and formal presentation of himself to those closest to him. He is a sure and soft-spoken man who chooses his words and tone with purpose. He savors life's indulgences and denies himself little, but never to excess or beyond the means of his purse. He enjoys the quiet company of his animals - a veteran warhorse and a three-legged retired war hound - almost as much as people. He is never unduly cruel, but does not shy from harsh truths; a velvet glove over an iron fist. The one place this all breaks away and he personifies the lion the Saiks are often likened to is with a sword in his hand and blood in the soil.

• Cecilia Kennex  + (On the surface, Cecilia exemplifies what h …
  On the surface, Cecilia exemplifies what happens when an innocent golden child goes "bad"; she's more Lycene than the Lycenes, doing what she wants, when she wants, and the reasoned voices around her begging her to slow down can fuck right off. She drinks like a Kennex, flirts with whoever she pleases, and generally leads a life of excess, all in an attempt to numb herself to the pain of a tragic childhood's end. But it's not just fashion sense and sexuality that Cecilia picked up during her time in the Lyceum, and while at least some of her 'I'm mad at the world, so let's have a party' attitude is rooted in genuine feeling, she's a lot more astute than she pretends to be. Intelligent, educated, and calculating, she can see how their insistence on playing by the rules has hurt her family, and she's determined to advance their interests (and protect her nephew, who is the only person who really matters to her right now) by doing what they can't. If she can have a great time doing it, all the better.

• Evander Kennex  + (On the surface, Evander is a calm, centere …
  On the surface, Evander is a calm, centered man, soft spoken and too weak to fall prey to the throes of strong emotion. A lot of his sickness is in his lungs, such that he can never catch his breath well enough to raise his voice, and in most things, he's happy to go along to get along, letting the tides of life take him to and fro as they will. Never a well man even when he's not ill, he's learned to accept the limitations of his body and to work around them as best he can. For someone who doesn't know him well, this frail exterior is all they'll ever see, and it's enough for a lot of people to dismiss him. But under the faded velveteen glove, there's an iron will and a mind like a steel trap. Evander has faced death more than once in his young life, and the experience has given him a sense of perspective far beyond his years, which is why he generally doesn't let the little things bother him. But in situations where something that he sees as important is at stake, he shows himself to be uncompromising and almost totally without fear. When it comes time to take a stand, this frail wisp of a man will dig in his heels and good luck moving him.

• Fergus Redrain  + (On the surface, Fergus is an unhappy man, …
  On the surface, Fergus is an unhappy man, with a grim sense of humor and a black scowl. And further deep that's still true, but he's far from a simple, unthinking brute. He's actually quite smart, and it makes his humor worse. He knows how brutal the world is around him, and there's few things that are solvable through peaceful means however much he wishes that was the case. Joy is a thing to be taken away, but some part of him seeks it out, nonetheless. He tries to keep his distance from people, because if he doesn't, they get hurt, one way or another. That doesn't keep him from finding friends though. Some are well meaning, others seek to use his skill and ferocity. In the end, none of it matters, even if part of him wants it to, desperately, in the vain hope to become a better man.
  , in the vain hope to become a better man.)
• Lailah Bisland  + (On the surface, Lailah seems nothing like …
  On the surface, Lailah seems nothing like her charming and outgoing family. Rarely speaking in large groups, and unconcerned with the opinions of the court, Lailah's strengths shine in subtler ways. Her passion for the truth, and the sharp blade of her intellect can cut as deep as her family's swords. Her words are few, but tend to be as effective as they are succinct. She prefers the company of one or two at a time, never feeling quite at ease in addressing a crowd despite a winsome voice and appearance. Her intellect rules her, rather than her emotions, but she still feels them deeply and intensely. She has a great deal of confidence outside of social settings, trusting in herself and in her work, but she simply feels no need to force feed it upon anyone. The truth is its own power, its own strength, and she simply makes the truth as clear as she can to others.

  On the surface, Laric seems to be a self-important cynic who -- when he acts -- acts out of self-interest, even when he's doing good. He'll laze about, only striking quickly when there's some glory or notoriety to be gained. It's not precisely an act, either. He is a Prince, a Grayson, and there has never been a Prince of Grayson who grew up unsure of his importance.

• Marena Pravus  + (On the surface, Marena is everything rumor …
  On the surface, Marena is everything rumors make her to be: effortlessly stylish without any flourish to her clothes or movements, discipline incarnate. She is severe without losing grace and lethal despite her soft-spoken politeness. There is an edge to the Lycene woman that is the perfect blend of her mother's Setarcan fire and her father's deadly Cainite mien. At her core things are somewhat different for the warmongering girl. Behind her frosty eyes roils the passion of a moon-touched woman, kept under control until unleashed. Marena's inner fire is felt in the power of her orders in the battlefield, and in every kiss shared with a lover. Marena is, in few words, quiet intensity, and has only grown more focused since spending a few years in Setarco City.

  On the surface, Orazio is a personable, affable man. He always has time to listen to one amongst the faithful, and is often not without a kind word. There are a slim few who would dare to say that the Arch Lector is anything other than fair - in temperament and in action. But Orazio is also a cold, hard man. Cutting and precise, with no time for those he deems worthless or incompetent.

• Fawkuhl Valardin  + (On the surface, he's all warm and beatific …
  On the surface, he's all warm and beatific smiles that bring a radiance to his countenance. Fawkuhl projects the serenity and grace expected of the Dominus, but one only has to see him in private to see the iron will of a man who may truly believe he is the closest living being to the gods. An imposing presence by sheer force of personality, he projects the domineering nature that believes he safeguards the souls of all in Arvum.

• Lys De Lire  + (Once a beacon of light and laughter, rage …
  Once a beacon of light and laughter, rage and loss have forged her into something else. Lys looks out at the world with a disjointed, cynical sort of apathy. Grief and fury have transformed what was once a genuine enjoyment of life into something else entirely. Her expression flickers as easily between joy and entertainment as it does rage and depression. Nearly every smile, these days, has a tendency to flicker into psychotic mania.

• Jyri Tersk  + (Once a hotheaded warrior of the Black Elk …
  Once a hotheaded warrior of the Black Elk tribe, Jyri is a man who prefers to act rather than talk. When he does opt to speak, it is often in a laconic manner which may catch more sensitive souls off-guard. He does not radiate concern and altruism and does not suffer fools easily. That said, his integrity, practical logic and tireless dedication to duty is undeniable even to those who disdain him for being a racial other. He insists on taking responsibility for his actions, and takes pride in the work he does - when working towards a goal, Jyri holds back none of his time and energy completing each relevant task with accuracy and patience.

  Once a vivacious, charming young woman, untold hardships have left Varkka a changed woman. Tempered by years of violence and hard living, Varkka often comes across as colder than snow on first meeting, but glimpses of her former, vivacious spirit shine through her stoic exterior once she gets to know someone. Professionally, she is unpredicatable and likely to cause more trouble than she solves, but her unique talents and steadfast demeanor ensure that she always has work, even if it won't be winning her glory or respect anytime soon.

• Valerio Mazetti  + (Once upon a time, Valerio was a spitfire. …
  Once upon a time, Valerio was a spitfire. He eagerly jumped into any challenge presented to him, very rarely thinking about the consequences, no matter the outcome. Older now, and Valerio has mellowed out. He has come to understand the weight of responsibility, and how there is no such thing as an isolated event. When presented with trouble, he engages it from a position of matured wisdom, rather than simply assuming that bludgeoning it to death will make it go away. His humor tends towards the dry, and there are those who would claim it is generous to call him laconic, but Valerio still manages to summon casual Lycene charm...when it suits him.

• Nicholaus Grayson  + (Once, Nicholaus was called carefree by his …
  Once, Nicholaus was called carefree by his friends and lazy by his enemies. That all changed when Nicholaus went on his little 'adventure.' Whatever happened while he was gone, changed him. Now, Nicholaus is possessed of a purposeful ambition and an idealist's outlook. He sees the Compact as good, as bringing safety and prosperity to many. A singular drive has possessed him to see it successful and strong, to guard it against threats both inside and out, and he will happily participate in any manner of social game to achieve that end. He presents a gentlemanly, if intense figure. He's never impolite if it can be helped, and there's a certain sense of focus to nearly everything he does or says. He's a staunch supporter of his friends and allies, quick to leap to their defense with a good word in the right ear if he can put it there.

  Once, long ago, Oili might have been an exuberant child filled with the mirth of spring and laughter of fall. She might have had dreams of becoming a princess, hair billowing down the side of a tower to allow a charming knight to take her away to an extravagant land far away. Then, as if a mirror was smashed, the wars began and her mirth changed to melancholy, her laughter to gloom and her dreams to hatred. A woman whose dreams were snatched away, she devoted herself entirely to one task at a time, working down a growing list of small but necessary tasks. It's good for her to work, because without work she becomes nothing more than a bundle of worry and missed opportunities.

  One might describe Gyliam as a bitter, snuffed-out candle. He's often slumped on a sidewalk, propped up against a wall with his tin cup set out and his walking stick clutched to his side. On a particularly good day, he might be feebly calling out for spare change, clinking his tin cup around. On one of his -better- days, he might just have the energy to snap and threaten passersby when not a single coin is spared his way, cursing their privilege and the good fortune granted them. Such is his favorite topic: his envy of the fortunate circumstances of those richer and better off than himself. Any advice or suggestions given him, he immediately bats aside, often retorted with self-pity over his situation.

• Donella Thrax  + (One might expect a Voice of House Thrax to …
  One might expect a Voice of House Thrax to be a cold, calculating woman, or a timid, submissive creature. Donella decided long ago that she would be neither of those things. Well, not wholly so. She skirts a fine line between embodying Thraxian ideals of strength and cold pragmatism (or murderous ruthleness), with being a capable, intelligent woman, able to keep up with the staunchest politicians at court. She rarely speaks out of turn, and never over her fellows, but when she has control of the conversation, she commands respect. She uses her silence, to watch and learn, and then acts decisively, before many realize she isn?t meek and mild. She embraces all aspects of her being - joys, hatreds, respect, tradition, happiness, cruelty - all of it, for she thinks not doing so would provide someone a weakness to exploit. She allows people to see what they expect, and then gets what she wants, however necessary.

• Magnus Stahlben  + (One might expect a man born in a land so r …
  One might expect a man born in a land so remote to share similar traits to his environment. Yet rather than being cold or remote, Magnus exhibits a welcoming, if quiet, demeanour when it comes to others. While not prone to loud displays of exuberance, he is warm, with an easy laugh and smile, though rarely enough to lose his calm. This serenity also manifests in his patience, and even his speech, deliberate, in no hurry to rush through discussions. Indeed, he is one who wishes to hear differing opinions, hear them debated, that all viewpoints might be known, and a better perception of the world achieved. It is in this collegial manner that he rules, prefering to listen than to speak. Yet when he does, it is with confidence. He knows not all can be pleased, of course. But it costs him little to take the time to try and see the world from their perspective, understand their woes and fears, as well as their hopes and aspirations, before he makes a decision that would affect them all. In this, he is loyal to not only his people's well-being, but now the Compact's as well. Determined and certain of the course taken, he stands to prove that the diplomacy used upon Shav'arvani tribes is not wasted, and that though he remains loyal to his people and their initial purpose, loyalty to the Compact is no lesser for it.

  One might think that a man so energetic would leave the kind of chaos in his wake as a tornado might, yet such is not Mahir's way. Everything has its proper place, its proper time, an order that elevates the parts to become greater than their sum. A chorus singing as a unified whole is as important to its integrity and beauty as the stone, glass, marble and other materials for a monument of architectural beauty. This emphasis on group rather than individual can also be seen in his own work. He does not simply apply the concepts of the smith when he creates a new ring, but adds in the eye and perspectives of the painter and sculptor, even as he also sings to his creation, the product of not one but three branches of creation all seeking a common finality. Yet with his recent arrival to Arvum, Mahir has had to contend with new ideas and perspectives that have troubled the tranquil certainty of his life, forcing him to ask himself questions that may no longer be answered through the will of another.

  One must always stick to their code of honor and that is what Nikias does. Little can sway him from what he considers the most righteous path. Sure, sometimes that 'righteousness' is a little sketchy to most but there is no doubting the honor he gives. He treats all the same until they have proven that they need to be treated differently. Just because someone thinks they deserve respect because of who they are or what they do does not mean it is true. This mannerism makes him arrogant and cocky, as he firmly believes little can sway him from his honor and chosen path. This gives him confidence in spades.

  One needs not stare long to summarize the disposition of this here creature one gazes upon. That look that fosters little to no sympathy; that perpetual stringing of her lips that accentuates a lingering disdain. Elfriede has lived a grey and black life that has spared her a want to ever loosen the shell of her emotions to those that'd pry for them. When addressed, her words are monosyllabic and surgical; when amused, an unmannerly hum or hem may rise, and when brought to a conundrum of feelings she's much like a shelled creature, and will retreat into the quiet foreboding of her much-loved silence. And with it, reveal nothing. She shows a fondness for wild creatures, and a predisposition to give in to her wanderlust when left to her own devices. She perceives violence as a natural rule of life, and takes part in it with nary a hint of pleasure, but a sense of dark, brooding duty.

  One would think a foreign princess so far removed from her home would be inclined to sulk and pout about her current lot in life, but that most certainly isn't so with Katarina. Quick to smile and slow to anger, she is one to disregard her own travesties and misfortunes to embrace positivity in all its forms around her; be it the delight of yet another small discovery in her time immersed in a culture so very different from her own or cresting the tumultous waves of the high seas on another explorative expedition, there is very little that can incite her ire. That being said, if there is one thing she cannot stand, it is one who shamelessly inflicts wrong-doing and injustice upon those undeserving.

  Oona has always been a woman who marches to the beat of her own drum. If she wants to dance, she'll dance, even if it means she knocks over a vase. If she wants to sing, she'll sing, even if she shatters a mirror. If she wants to stand stock still and listen to birdsong, she will, even if she's standing in the middle of the road. And if she wants to go swimming naked, well...you get the idea. She's a remarkably tolerant person, save regarding two issues: her family (don't mess with them. just. don't.) and thralldom, having been the daughter of escaped thralls herself, who managed to make it to the freedom of Deepwood's shores when she was a child. Oona is a lady who loves life - food, wine, a beautiful sunset, but she's also highly observant and quite crafty. If she seems a bit kooky, well, she's happy to have people underestimate her. She enjoys the look of surprise on people's faces when the realize that not only is she her son's Voice, but she's damn good at it. Not so much the kooky old lady after all...

  Orathy isn't the smartest crayon in the box, but it's hard to say how much of that is deliberate. He often seems to be listening, but how much he understands and processes is left mysterious. He has a rough and tumble sense of humor, and a low taste for the lewd. He's not interested in fighting for fun but he is very interested in fighting for coin. He likes to make money, and he'll make money doing pretty much anything. It's hard to say that Orathy is trustworthy; it would be more accurate to say that Orathy can be trusted to do exactly as Orathies are wont to do.

  Orchid is a quiet and gentle person. She gets easily flustered and often doesn't realize when she says, or someone says, something that can be taken in multiple ways. She takes many things said to her seriously. She is quite shy around new people. When she first gets to know someone she is very quiet and uncertain on how to talk with them. As she gets to know someone she is bolder and more open with how she talks. She tries very hard to address people with appropriate titles but it often escapes her, as she doesn't entirely pay attention to the 'who is who'.

  Orrin is in many ways larger than life. While he can spot artifice, he has no patience for it, and is deeply protective of his people as well as their freedom - which makes sense, as the majority of his County's population are descended from, or actually are former thralls. His nature tends to default toward being relaxed and easygoing, quick to laugh and preferring friendship over fighting, but when it comes to his duties and obligations as Count, he has razor sharp forcus and will become dead serious in a blink.

When his temper slips, as all tempers do, he tends to get angry quickly and explosively, before recovering just as quickly. Considered quick witted by many, he enjoys showing off that keen wit.

Although generally, he tends to come out as a serious and slightly intimidating man, those who get to know him more thoroughly can see that, in truth they were wrong, he is quite friendly, respectful and approachable. His voice tends to verge on the husky side, often accompanied by silvery tones whenever he allows himself to have some fun.

Gently spoken and chivalrous to a high degree, it's hard to imagine her in the heat of battle and bloodlust and perhaps that is part of her rather unorthodox type of Valardin reserve.

The stories you hear about Oathlander knights sometimes stray from the reality, but it doesn't for Padraig. He's the embodiment of the stereotype. He wishes to be a hero. He wants to be remembered.

Shy, but sweet, oft with a smile and always a kind word or a helping hand. So long as it does not mean getting her hands dirty, of course. While considered aloof to many of the lower classes, she does not seem to mind. Perhaps she is used to it by now.

Bravery is not an uncommon trait, but his is a courage fueled by self-assurance and tempered by a deeply grooved streak of grounded, solid common sense. He is a born "fixer" - a man who needs to resolve problems wherever they occur, whether they are actually his business or not.

To be a woman that has lived the life she has lived in the Mourning Isles, strength is required. Image-breaking came naturally to her. She is crisp, acerbic, and allergic to nonsense. Yet she is not without enjoyment in life. She enjoys aggressive men, challenging games of chance, and fights that get the blood hot.

On the field he is all business, no-nonsense and gruff. War is work and his men know that on the field, Rohran's word is law. After hours, with an ale in hand, the Lord-General can laugh and carouse with the best of them.

He is a fairly private person, and his attempts to reach outward into the world instead of remain inside himself as still new, a bit hesitant, and occasionally fumbling, but there's a core of earnest desire to do better to the world than it has done to him, and deeper still is a fiercer steel that rarely makes it to the surface.

  Percephon is a man of focused intensity when working on a problem, but sometimes has difficulty tracking important details, like 'someone is talking to me right now' or 'it's important to eat food'. Curious to a fault, his thirst for knowledge is linked to his quest for purpose. Because his mind is the sharpest weapon he has, and a far superior one than any he might wield with his arm. His sense of duty and his personal piety are linked to his filial need to compensate for being, you know, the nerdiest noble in all the Oathlands. He cares deeply, but sometimes has difficulty understanding the appropriate way to show his caring. E.g.: 'Look! I've written you a treatise about flowers. It's like a bouquet, but it won't die!'

  Perhaps the only archaeologist alive to prefer to remain outside of ruins and tombs, Linus has an insatiable thirst for knowing what may lie within them. Prone to spending his days in libraries, either personal or public, he's always looking to solve his current obsession and equally driven to search for another. But the actual visiting of them? Well, that's a much taller order. Oh, he's been on an expedition or two, but bad luck seems to follow those in his party when he's present. Whether it's superstition or true belief that he may be cursed...not even he knows. It's rare that Linus strikes up a conversation, but he's not a hard person to have one with, especially if the topic turns to academia. Naive in some ways of the world, it's less unwillingness to learn and more apathy. Perhaps there's something new on the horizon to break him out of this self-confining cage he's managed to assemble around himself for the good of others.

  Peri is thoughtful, bright and by nature, a seeker. While her brother tends to be adventurous in terms of liking to take risks, Peri's sense of adventure is part of a deep-seated desire to explore. Despite her local culture's aversion to exploring (as it conjures cultural memories for being Thraxian thralls, and invites contact with the great house of the sea), Peri dreams of voyaging across the ocean and discovering new places. There's just one problem - she's her father's heir. Peri loves her family, and so she constrains her desires out of her sense of duty. But even if she is limited in terms of geography, she takes great pleasure in experiencing what is strange and new to her. Peri feels an especially strong affinity for the sea. She looks to the ocean as her means to find new lands, and feels a special affinity to Mangata, a sense that the tide will carry her to where she longs to be.

  Pero is subject to dreams beyond his station. As a pickpocket in Nilzana, Pero would fantasize about becoming an infamous outlaw - a mythic thief who would scale sheer towers to steal from royal quarters. Not all such fantasies are behind him (though, hopefully less criminal in cast), but they are surely tempered by his service to the Malespero family.

  Perpetually stubborn and commonly pragmatic, it is little wonder that she has worked at least a decade for the stolid Chanse Grayhope himself. Of course, unlike her employer, that sturdy core frequently hides under a cheery demeanor, one perfectly suitable for a tavern wench serving mugs of ale to society's outcasts. An attitude also quickly honed to a fine dagger of command, in situations where intoxicated customers become a bit overzealous. Youthful energy and confidence only occasionally get in the way of careful ambition and an unfaltering loyalty to those she calls friends. Fitting in just fine as one of the rabble of the Lower Boroughs - and despite her superficial gentility - she can watch someone rob or knife another without batting an eye.

  Perronne has chosen to be an optimist. It isn't that she doesn't see the obstacles in her path, nor that she doesn't sometimes feel bitter or resentful of the accidents of birth that can see one person 'trueborn' and another 'bastard', but she's chosen to focus, instead, on the opportunities that she can see. Her focus on opportunity and her expectation of profit can sometimes appear grasping or ruthless, particularly for those who have never had to bargain for their suppers, but she tries not to outright exploit people who can't afford it. She's a bit of a thrill-seeker, loving the feel of exploring the unknown and gambling on whether what she finds will be profitable or not. She also prides herself on being able to suit her behavior to the venue, whether it's boisterous boasting with the lads and lasses in a trader's tavern, or a formal tea with a head of house to negotiate a trade or passage agreement. And, above all, she takes a deep pride in her personal honor and word, knowing that her reputation is the greatest asset she has.

As a prodigal of Northern Shav origins, she isn't always the most trusting of nobles or even of crown sworn commoners. Petal loves the outdoors. She adores plants and animals. Petal also takes great love in sewing. She enjoys making things. Petal is very generous with those she cares about, but not always to the rest of the world.

  Pietro is vibrant and energetic, coursing with an energy that is, at times, frenetic. He always has to be moving. He seeks excitement and thrills, but the true excitement he wants most is glory. Honor for his family, glory for his name, heroics of the kind that save others -- but while he loves the idea of saving others, he's not always that great at understanding what it is that they might need. 'Rescue' is more a grand concept than what you'd call a plan. For Pietro, planning is mostly something that happens in other people (usually, Vincere). He is courageous (reckless), adaptable, and quick on his mental (and physical) feet, but rarely thinks before he acts. Passionate about everything, he is a man of deep loyalties with a grand romance in his heart that isn't focused on anyone or anything in particular.

  Pleasant, courtly, and polite almost to a fault, Damaris is well aware that she wouldn't be where she is if it weren't for the generosity of the Bislands. Deferential to those above her and firm but fair to those below her, she avoids politics, acts with restraint, and strives for sangfroid even in the worst situations. However much other people might expect from her, it's never as much as she expects from herself. She works hard to excel in all the knightly skills, and, outwardly, she's the very picture of chivalry ... but as far as she's concerned, the most important quality a knight can have is /loyalty/. Which means doing whatever job she's given, whether honorable or dishonorable, glorious or horrible -- and doing it with a smile.

  Plucky, stubborn, creative, caring, realistic and quietly a romantic at heart. Those are just some of the ways Kalani would be described, if anyone were to ask at least. Others might describe her as studious, attentive, quiet, shy at times or not particularly socially adept. She isn't anti-social, in fact, she's just shy. Unless she's in the thick of things, then - when and as the need arises - she can be downright bossy, assertive, and commanding. As a healer, there have been times when she's needed to use nothing less than a bellow to make herself heard. As a fighter, she's had to be quiet and swift, or shockingly loud to cause a distraction. Like anyone else, she's a complex mix of emotions, instincts, training and education, cultural and social quirks mixed with political and idealistic leanings.

  Podraig could probably win competitions in dourness, if he cared for such things. As it turns out, he doesn't seem to care for much of anything if one were to judge by the everpresent grimace on his face. The soft trrappings of Compact life are not for him; a topic he would be far more vocal about had he not learned that lesson from a charitable employer. Mostly he is quiet and stoic save for the occasional roll of the eyes or exasperated sigh.

  Poised, calm and gregarious, there is never a room or locale that isn't made a little brighter by her presence. While it may be easy to discount her grace due to her beauty, it took little more than a single conversation to see manifest from deep below the surface of her skin. Carilova possessed a quick wit, sharp tongue and never met a stranger. Life itself, the grand adventure that it was, never found itself taken more than a day at a time. Each new experience was to be savored, each connection with a person relished.

  Polite yet coy, Lune is a reaction to that which is around her. Sometimes sweet, sometimes sour, yet always a loyal servant to House Pravus, she is gentle woman in both appearance and manner. Curious (and oft times cynical when in familiar company), she's quick to learn from those willing to teach, and quick to laugh when appropriate.

  Porter is a big man with a big, loyal heart, a man who likes everything big. He likes to laugh big, drink big, and fight big -- as far as he's concerned, too much of a good thing is still not enough. He loves adventure, especially the kind of adventure that makes for a good story to be outrageously embellished. He tries to make out like things are all fun and games all the time, but in Porter's quiet moments, a melancholy sometimes comes over him. His unshakable loyalty towards his friends, friends who don't always come through for him like he does for them, has at times forced him to face the fact that life isn't like one of his adventure stories, and in those moments, he feels like the world itself has betrayed his trust.

• Vesper Nightgold  + (Possessed of an all too frequent resistanc …
  Possessed of an all too frequent resistance to expectation, Vesper has always been one to forge her own way ahead. Especially if it comes at the cost of tradition. As such, she doesn’t appear to be a woman easily ruffled by what others think. She’s driven by a tenacious sense of adventure that’s fueled by her hopelessly impulsive nature, and is always prepared with an embellished tale to validate her exploits. In tense moments of conflict, amenity and smiles are sheathed in favor of sharper tools, rousing in Vesper a latent ferocity deeply rooted into her being.

• Danielle Valardin  + (Possessed of an unwavering sense of honor, …
  Possessed of an unwavering sense of honor, more than anything, Danielle is a proud woman and a woman of her word. Even on multiple occasions when such tendencies have put her directly in the path of possibly dying. A more reasonable person might make exceptions for extenuating circumstances. But you don't grow up being a pragmatist but instead an idealist. Pragmatism is instead a failure to hold to the purity of ideals. As you can guess, she's not necessarily the funnest guest to have at a party, though you'd definitely want her to have your back in a war zone.
