  Calm oceans have much in common with Nephelae. Her smile is warm and her presence is calming. She laughs easily with children and will be interested in anything they bring her. She seems to always have an answer for them and a story before letting them wander off again. One could tell the Queen of Endings crafted her soul to be a caretaker and educator. She is patient and ready with kisses and cuddles on hand. Like the ocean set in her eyes, one shouldn't disrespect or cross her or they might glimpse her dangerous depths. She was trained to raise the children of nobles and takes it seriously. Still there is a mischievous sparkle and something exotic about her soul that thirsts. Many things she leaves unspoken as a shield. Her serene countenance that masks something wild and subtle.

• Tobias Telmar  + (Calm, collected, and somewhat charming pro …
  Calm, collected, and somewhat charming professionally, Tobias somehow managed to become everything his father isn't during his childhood. Years of being tutored by what amounted to a drill sergeant on steroids did give Tobias a preference for discipline among his company, and while he's never let that get in the way of courtesy, it's left him with a bitter distaste for the idea of forming his entire life around military servitude. His job allows him to pick his own contracts and do as he pleases, which suits him just fine. It isn't a fair stretch to call him a walking contradiction of wild man and suave seducer. Outside of his work, Tobias can usually be seen enjoying himself at parties, whether with wine or women... or reading books and training. Above it all though... Tobias is possessive of the things he considers his. Try to take anything from him, and that calm, collected temperament quickly fades.

• Triton Ravenseye  + (Calm, cool, and collected. Triton is a sto …
  Calm, cool, and collected. Triton is a stolid, reserved individual, slow to anger, and more usually driven to exasperation rather than wrath. Usually, the one to drag him into situations that provoke such is his twin, Rosalind. A man of dry wit, Triton would be perfectly happy to spend a night in front of a warm fire, with a stout drink. That he rarely gets the opportunity to do so is likely traced to the fact that he's tremendously loyal to those he considers friends and family, and highly protective over his siblings' welfare.

• Gelassen Whisper  + (Calm, patient, and even-keeled, one might …
  Calm, patient, and even-keeled, one might even call Gelassen 'serene'. He has an unshakable, unruffleable composure, and he gives his attentive interest and best advice to every person he interacts with. To spend time with Gelassen is to feel special, to feel empowered -- to feel that change is within one's grasp, and healing is assured with time.

• Calypso Malvici  + (Calypso Malvici never forgets that she hol …
  Calypso Malvici never forgets that she holds the burden of command. She is tireless in the pursuit of excellence in herself and in her subordinates. She has generally been content to leave the politics to her brother, but when she and Hadrian clash is frequently over military risks. Her devotion to her troops leaves her distrustful of political risks that can cost lives. She distrusts notions of "honorable warfare" just as much. She is a deep thinker in whom duty and loyalty are second nature. That everyone she doesn't trust is implicitly suspect is a rarely-voiced belief, but it guides her actions. Calypso is deeply compassionate and implacable both. She sees no contradiction.
  mplacable both. She sees no contradiction.)
• Camilla Pravus  + (Camilla has a dark edge to every thing she …
  Camilla has a dark edge to every thing she does: from how she slinks across ballrooms to the way she talks and dresses, there seems to be an natural disposition in the woman to evoke that which might find taboo or sinister. That makes the Setarcan a very specific kind of woman, and a very niche sort of courtier. Those drawn to dark forests at night, to the whispering of the graves and mirrors and reflections tend to find the woman fascinating. Those afraid fo such cannot help but feel unsettled. Camilla's values are simple: Only pain can give way to truth, and truth is beautiful. She is constantly, and subtly, pushing and urging others to face their reflections, always in playful ways that mask her intentions, at least at first. To Camilla, there is nothing to be learned when someone is in stasis, accepting of who they are. In peace nothing is gained, so she pushes, planting seeds for growth and change. Using her charisma to lure others into her games, Camilla is never bored, making the world beautiful by undoing one lie at a time.

• Candace Corvo  + (Candace has the steady and reserved nature …
  Candace has the steady and reserved nature of a woman who has seen much in her life and no longer has a need to prove herself to anyone. She cares a great deal about people and does what she can to help others help themselves. That said, she is still prone to waspishness when confronted with sloth and stupidity.

• Caprice Artiglio  + (Caprice loves her life. She loves her god, …
  Caprice loves her life. She loves her god, and her faith, finding peace and fulfillment most rarely can claim. She loves the art she creates, the fabrics that slide through her fingers reminding her of the threads and fabric of life itself. She sees her creations more as prayers than functional garments, trying to capture the essence of a person within a commission. She is as kind and cruel as anyone can be, but is careful to protection the reputations of her patrons. She's practical, despite her fanciful thoughts of faith and humanity, truly believing one can work in the world and be close to the divine at the same time. Her fatal flaw, however, is pride, and she becomes rather... cross if someone disrespects her work, or seems callous about the gods.

• Cara Ashford  + (Cara is composed, demure, and unassuming - …
  Cara is composed, demure, and unassuming -- though not without a sly wit that peeks out among those she is comfortable with. Her upbringing among the dangerous intrigues of the Lyceum produced a woman who plays her cards close to her vest, speaking generally, though her marriage some few years ago to an Ashford has loosened her up a fraction. She pays careful attention to people and is a good listener, offering thoughtful and well-meant advice when it is sought and a kind word when it is not, especially to those few she considers family or close-friends, to whom she is intensely loyal.

  Carefree and easy going, Malik is quick to humour and slow to anger. He is a smooth talker, often teased to be 'silver tongued' among those in his company, though his flattery is often spoken in earnest. He finds beauty in the unusual and odd, often erring on the side of overtly curious to discover and learn.

• Islin Harthall  + (Carefree bordering on careless Islin Harth …
  Carefree bordering on careless Islin Harthall is something of a wild spirit. He loves to take risks and is quite good at coming out on top after doing so. He drinks heavily, gambles often and is quick to laugh. Some might find with further examination of his character he has a fairly dark sense of humor and a strong devotion to the Queen of Endings which speaks of a deeper personality than one might first suspect. However despite his easy going nature he is still very loyal to his family and liege, obeying direct orders easily and without question.

• Morgan Seliki  + (Carefree. That would likely be the one wor …
  Carefree. That would likely be the one word most likely to describe Morgan by those who know him, with good-natured close behind. Unfortunately, he's also an exasperating prankster with the sort of brash humor to match. Never malignant but often a little cocky, he's known to enjoy a dare or risk just for the adrenaline rush. Since Morgan is from a minor line of the family, he has no concerns about inheritance, therefore allowing him this freedom. Still, he's a knight, and does take his vows more or less seriously, unwilling to do or witness something dishonourable.

  Carmen is no-nonsense. She prefers to be straight forward, rarely beating around the point. Despite this she is an outgoing and warm woman. It is part of what makes her such a fantastic medic. While a little messy and scattered in her home life, everything in her professional is organized and in its place. Basically she knows how and when to let her hair down.

  Carrick is a warm person that jokes and tells stories of his past to make a mood more fun. Though he is friendly he does not seem to be close to just anyone only being truly close with those that he calls friends. When fighting he is normally seen with a smile appearing to enjoy the fight as if it was a game. Though this changes when he is doing his duty then he turns into a very serious man that focuses on his duty alone.

  Casiar is a man in his middle years who has had, as of yet, no desire to engage in the more physical activities of his peers. While others were running and playing at being knights in their younger years, Casiar spent his time reading and in study of all types. His access to books allowed him to expand his world view and this practice has followed him throughout his adult life. He has never married as his intense thirst for knowledge has limited the time he has had for such social activities.

• Caspian Wild  + (Caspian is a cocktail of bright and dark, …
  Caspian is a cocktail of bright and dark, layer upon layer of glitter and glitz over a deeper uncertainty. His youth was forged uniquely in hardship, a stranger in a strange land in the Mourning Isles, punished for the sins -- literally -- of his parents. His new adulthood is a phoenix rise to a brilliant pinnacle of showmanship, grace, and basically glee. Caspian is quick: quick with words, deeds, weapons. But he's not hotheaded; he's mellow, bright-hearted, ready to defuse a situation with earnest-eyed hope as well as cause one with a badly-thought-out word. He loves jokes. He loves drama but pure melodrama, to throw himself into a performance with everything that he has. He loves attention. He laps it up. Give him more. More attention. He loves parties. He feeds off the energy of life and shines with it.

  Cassim is a devoted practitioner of his religion. He has, for a long time been trained as an apprentice Shaman and has had a lot of pressure thrown at him to represent the spirits properly. While he can have a temper, it's kept in check by his training, and the guidance of the Spirits. But like most Sanna men he is strong, willful, and honest. He tries to be friendly, and encouraging, guiding those who seek the wisdom of the Spirits. Though completely socially inept in that he's lost to his own thoughts all too often.

• Castor Redwind  + (Castor is quiet and unassuming for a Northerner. Few of word and soft spoken when he does speak, Cas is reluctant to call attention to himself. Far more at home in the wilds and woods of the north, he prefers his horse and hunting dogs to city life.)
• Castruccio Fidante  + (Castruccio is a Machiavellian through and …
  Castruccio is a Machiavellian through and through. He is a man given to brooding and dark moods, and his humour tends toward the sharp and sarcastic, if not even macabre. He puts his family above all else, and will not hestitate to do whatever he thinks is necessary to protect the Fidante legacy. He is the sort of man one wants as an ally, and not an enemy, and he's ever aware that if he shows weakness, his own allies are liable to turn on him if he doesn't do it first.

• Catalana Kennex  + (Catalana exudes a warmth that makes her ea …
  Catalana exudes a warmth that makes her easy to talk to. She has a genuine interest in people, and because of this, she's really listening when someone talks to her, regardless of subject. Warmth and attention like hers can make for a heady cocktail; it's no wonder that she does so well as a diplomat. She's also good at intuiting who she needs to be in any given situation, which helps her navigate with ease in societies that are different than hers, even those that would normally be hostile to a noblewoman. When it comes to being herself, however, Catalana is a person who needs to be needed; filling the needs of others is the lens through which she sees who she is. She pushes herself hard not to 'let down' the people who depend on her. It's more than just putting herself second, because there is always someone who she feels she must put first, and if there isn't, she'll find one.
  irst, and if there isn't, she'll find one.)
• Catalina Rossi  + (Catalina lives for challenge. It's not ent …
  Catalina lives for challenge. It's not entirely that she's a thrill-seeker, though she does get a thrill out of accomplishing something difficult. It's also that she wants to win. And winning doesn't really mean much if there's no challenge to it. She's a chameleon in public, because winning means being whatever you have to be and doing whatever you have to do. In her most unguarded moments, though, there's a purity to her joy in discovery, in learning something new or acquiring a new skill. It's curiosity that drives her, and success that satisfies the drive.

• Catriona Thrax  + (Catriona Thrax is the quintessential socia …
  Catriona Thrax is the quintessential social butterfly and the epitome of a perfect young lady. She loves the flutter of a good party, the chattering of friends and acquaintances, the laughter, the dancing, and the flowing alcohol. She is an extrovert, and it absolutely shows; the woman is a perfectionist when it comes to her hair, clothes, and speech. Indeed, she is quite accomplished in the art of conversation. This chatty, poised, friendly exterior is not overcompensation; she is nearly as intelligent as she is social. Catriona does not use her many, many charms mindlessly. Rather, she is exceedingly ambitious, seeking position and prestige. She loves the spotlight, yet she is such a kind and enjoyable companion, few seem to be able to hold this against her. This is perhaps her greatest strength: she is so sociable, so conversational, that she often earns the trust of her companions quickly and accesses information that might otherwise stay private.

  Cecilli is an absent-minded individual, often lost in her own thoughts or in the imagery of nature around her. The way she speaks is often addled with allegories or metaphors that may be lost on many people, and it's often that she refuses to explain. She often leans on things, particularly her staff, in absence of seating, sits whenever possible, and lays if it doesn't get in the way.

  Cedarav is an engaging person, when he can be convinced to be pulled from his work, and is very knowledgeable on many subjects divergent from medicine. Sure, sometimes, he can be a bit of a know-it-all or bore one half to death with technicalities, but if you catch him in his element he's capable of bringing even the dullest party to life. In his work environment, he's quite good with his patients, though his patience can also wear thin. He's the King, Voice, and Legate of his operating theatre, where his word is law and his vengeance quick if the proper instrument is not found quickly enough.

  Cedric has the knack of bland, dry self-control that makes for a perfect butler. Composed and elegant at all times, he is appropriate to all situations, whether he is handkerchiefing blood off of somebody's blade or ensuring that the correct service is in place for tea. Socially correct at all times, he finds ways to be prim and proper even in situations where no propriety manual exists. A servant of order, he forges it out of chaos in his life at all times. He provides his employers with excellent service and an unendingly stellar grasp of the exactly correct amount of sass for an able steward to provide in any given situation.

• Bliss Whisper  + (Celia was never satisfied. As she's gotten …
  Celia was never satisfied. As she's gotten older, she's discovered ways to find (fleeting) satisfaction, but her desire for a good time outstrips all. She likes fun, and irreverence, and doing whatever she wants, when she wants. No one always gets what they like, of course, and Bliss can certainly play along with social mores when it suits her. She's even patient, in a terrifyingly predatorial sort of way. She might play along for days, weeks - even years! As long as she wants the payoff badly enough, it doesn't bother her. Conversely, if something that seemed like a good, fun idea loses its lustre, she won't hesitate to drop it - forgotten just as fast as last week's breakfast. Bliss is the sort of woman who might be perplexed at someone attacking her for something she said last Tuesday. "But, that was three weeks ago!" She burns hot and hard, but once it's done (or once she's won), she is gracious with her forgiveness.

  Celine is a woman in command of a beautiful voice and endearing demeanor, always brimming with sincerity even when that might otherwise be to the detriment of her goals: she is one to laugh heartily if told a joke midway through a funeral, and her smiles can thaw hearts with frightening ease. With every conversation, Celine is one to maneuver and make others the focus of it, always interested in people and helping them as she can. There is something almost overbearing about the way this young woman makes it obvious she cares, and how much energy she has for all those who seek her. When it comes to her parents, that shine is lost, somewhat, and she does seem to take issue with Audrey and what the woman has done. Not one to show resentment, Celine still very much hurts over losing her parents, and it shows whenever the subject comes up.

  Cerdensulathara is a very mild type of savage. As a child, she threw horrible tantrums, would get violently sick, or lapse into periods of catatonia. She can find pleasure in most any activity because she easily retreats into her mind. There is a deep and strong love for animals inside her, and nature has earned her infinite respect. This is balanced with her infatuation for the learning, art, and reading. Despite her varied gifts, interacting with people is not one of them. Her jokes are not often understood, and she has difficulty determining others' motivation.

• Charis Durant  + (Charis lacks the flair and flourishes so o …
  Charis lacks the flair and flourishes so often seen in those who follow Jayus' path. Hers is a quieter way, steady and determined, though no less committed to the ideals of the Prince of Stories. Those outside of the Oathlands might call her rigid, overly controlled. Those within understand the deep streak of perfectionism, her adherence to a way which respects the process, the ritual and forms that must be followed, as much as the end result-- they are, after all, equal parts of a greater whole.

• Segrid Seasmoke  + (Charismatic and astute, a social chameleon …
  Charismatic and astute, a social chameleon. She is watchful and eager to learn and experience, and is comfortable with individuals from every part of the social strata. She keeps an air of mystery, with a personality range that goes from innocent to something far less so, and what she may or may not know about the world-- both night and day-- could keep people guessing.

• Charles Valardin  + (Charles is known to be mercurial in his ac …
  Charles is known to be mercurial in his actions off the battlefield, and to question most of his decisions as well as those of others. He is prone to challenge others both physically and otherwise when threatened. It has earned him a well-deserved reputation of being petty and disagreeable, his antagonistic streak marring his place in proper society. He is known for his intense and tumultuous relationships with others, friends, partners, and allies alike; he is known for exaggerated feats of vainglory in all aspects of life. It is difficult to keep on his good side for long. However, he is loyal to those close to him. To those he perceives as deserving, he is generally fair and frequently compassionate.

  Charlotte is a charmer, often used to getting her way. Unused to opposition, she can rapidly switch tactics when she does not get the results she wants. Friendly and open, hers are the still waters that run deep. More than one old friend has been mystified when they are suddenly cut from the fold, only to be taken in again after a bit, all forgiven. Not to say she is disloyal, Charlotte is a Wyrmguard and takes that very seriously. She is simply put... mysterious, from time to time.

  Charmer, celebrant, extravagant. Beau is whatever he needs to be when he needs to be it, a true social chameleon who is just as comfortable dining with royals as he is throwing dice in a seedy bar. He is often over the top, and despite being a commoner he is quite wealthy, so wealthy that he makes sure those around him take note. He can be serious when he wants to be, but when you view life as a game and the score is based on certain social variables it can be hard to take oneself too seriously. Behind all the charm, the quick wit and the golden hair though, there is a temper and a long memory.
  ough, there is a temper and a long memory.)

  Charming and tempestuous, Berenice loves to flirt with scandal. She enjoys sidling right up to the edge of it, hips swaying, and nudging at it with her toe. Possibly while maintaining eye contact and a smile, like a cat nudging a glass off a table. She quite enjoys people, with all the delights they present, and can traverse the social web with delightedly deft skill. Of course, friendship with Berenice may come with it a fiery blowup or two, but just wait a day: either the slight will be forgotten, or the friendship will. She is, at the very least, never a boring companion.

• Ciara Wyrmguard  + (Charming and vivacious, Ciara is a girl wi …
  Charming and vivacious, Ciara is a girl with a lot of opinions and a big heart that she wears on her sleeve. She has an almost insatiable curiosity and approaches life with the kind of impish joie-de-vivre reserved for the young and those lucky few who have yet to see any real hardship. While actually quite brilliant, she is still so very young and woefully inexperienced in most facets of life, with all the naivety and wide-eyed excitement that comes with it, which can sometimes make her seem a little clueless despite an obviously sharp mind. She is sweet as sugar and a bit of a pleaser, but she can be assertive and quite bossy if she needs to, though usually in a gentle and good-natured way. Fiercely loyal and protective of those she loves, and with a strong maternal sense, she can quickly turn from wide-eyed coquette to mother-hen if she feels that one or more of her percieved chicks are in need of protection or correction, whether the chick(s) in question feels the need for, or even wish for, her involvement or guidance. Always out of genuine concern and desire to make their lives better or see them better themselves.

• Eiran Laurent  + (Charming but flighty, reckless but irresol …
  Charming but flighty, reckless but irresolute, dramatic and sensationalist and sensualist and a little careless: the devil-may-care smile that Eiran can summon to his features is every bit as real as the soulful look in his puppydog eyes. As a social chameleon, he might be more successful if his transformations were more complete. He makes a great friend because he's ready to throw himself whole-heartedly into the interests and foci of others without really holding tight to any of his own. He suffers from a kind of serial monogamy of the passion: he can't decide what he wants to do with himself in the long term. Maybe he'll be a knight. Maybe he'll be a playwright. Maybe he'll give it all up and become a florist! Fuck everything, where's his horse? Let's go hunting.

• Duarte Amedeo  + (Charming, affable, with a disarming manner …
  Charming, affable, with a disarming manner, infectious humor, and quick wit, very few individuals realize how much danger they are in while speaking with Duarte Amedeo. As chief minister of Information and Safety for House Pravus in Setarco, few nobles let alone commoners could rival the man's importance in the Silken City, a fact seldom realized by many of his companions. It's not that Duarte is humble by any stretch- the dangerous and cool confidence in his eyes gives lie to that. He merely knows how much easier it is to get precisely what you want with a kind or clever word... even if it allows one to destroy the person that revealed it. He is in many ways a reflection of Pravus itself- smart, charming, and utterly ruthless.

• Aedin Blackwood  + (Charming, approachable, amiable. Enter Aed …
  Charming, approachable, amiable. Enter Aedin's presence is akin to stepping into the summer sunshine. She has a knack for welcoming people without so much as a word. Her considerable skill for sounding out the tone of a room or a gathering has led some in the Blackwood family to claim she's blessed by intuition. Her sensitivity is considerable -- for not reading a situation right can be a disaster. Smoothing over difficulties demands a certain special knowledge of personalities, and she has the patience to tease out exactly what she needs. Northlanders may have a reputation for short tempers and not tolerating fools, but she doesn't live up to that standard. Her silken words and exquisite manners can usually disarm southerners or Abandoned alike, and once they are willing to deal, then the real work begins. But she suffers no fools behind her smile. Withholding contempt for liars and dishonourable behaviour, she'll do what she must to get the work done, leaving an opening for others to exploit. But much, much better to have others in her debt. And Aedin never forgets one.

• Armand Farshaw  + (Charming, impulsive, passionate, Armand's …
  Charming, impulsive, passionate, Armand's character is a wildly unpredictable one, at odds with the moral principals of the Faith's Orthodox branch that he yet follows with remarkable devotion. Indeed, the man is one of contrasts and extremes, with a dangerous temper as violent and sudden as a storm at sea, while also displaying a true and unshakeable faith in the precepts of the Gods and the Compact, willing and ready to die for their ideals. Suspicious of the worship of Tehom, and yet prone to womanizing and drinking, though rarely to excess. An odd one, certainly, and yet, through it all, possessed with the overriding desire to do good, and fight evil, so that others won't have to.

• Jonathan Fieldstone  + (Cheerful almost to the point of being obno …
  Cheerful almost to the point of being obnoxious, Jonathan is always prone to seeing the brighter side of life on most things, and the last to raise a fist in anger, despite his strength. He is a man of many words, but also thought, listening carefully to what is said before he offers his down-to-earth advice. He has a deep appreciation of hard work, and of his roots in the earth, feeding those around him. Service comes naturally to him, as does a quick joke or an old saying.

  Cheerful and attentive, if quiet, one minute his mood can also be somehow disinterested, even here in the greatest and most exciting city in all the land.

  Cheerful and blithe, Braelynn is most often found smiling about something. The world seems full of endless amusement to her, and she is genial of spirit and light of heart. She's an outdoors type, who gets restless if she's cooped up too long, but the peace she finds in the woods keeps her happy. Sometimes her attention drifts, and she'll smile at nothing at all - but mostly she is warm and friendly, a pleasure to be around and quite easygoing.

  Cheerful and softspoken, Amber is a quiet, petite woman with an unflinchingly brave and direct view on life and events. She lost her husband, and it hardened her - but not completely. Determined to continue the dream they started together, she is ferocious in the pursuit of the best deal, and is ruthless about her trade agreements. But beneath it all, she really does have that heart of gold. She also remembers gold may be the softest of metals, but it's still a metal, and a heart of gold doesn't mean you have to let people take advantage of you.

• Mahan  + (Cheerful, annoyingly so, genuinely inquisi …
  Cheerful, annoyingly so, genuinely inquisitive and often interested in the lives and tales of others. His outlook on life is terribly pragmatic but he's neither apathetic nor dismissive; he is happy to help but only if it makes sense and his chance of success is relatively high, and even then, if the money is good he might even make an exception. Need a bottle of wine? Sure, he can do that. A rare book? Possibly. Armor? Well, that depends on what kind. Your furniture moved? Probably not. Not often found morose or unhappy in general, his attitude is playful and often to a fault. It's not that he -can't- be serious, he just doesn't think he -needs- to be even in the most dire of circumstance. Not that he's above screaming in terror in running away, laughing is just that much more fun.

  Cherilo is a soft-spoken but enthusiastic lover of nature. He's embraced a clear passion: exploring the natural world, and capturing its beauty so as to encourage public appreciation and conservation. Aside from a few short affairs and a some occasional city friends, he mostly keeps to himself - not from introversion but from the curiosity that keeps him moving, exploring, interacting with the wild.

  Christine has one true love: books. That doesn't avoid her being interested in other things. Like people. Blunt or charming, flirty or dry, it's not that she has different personalities, is that she loves observing how people react to each of them... It doesn't help the fact that she's so easy to distract, either...
