• Lonzio Nightgold  + (Lonzio exists at the intersection of South …
  Lonzio exists at the intersection of Southern-style cunning and Northern survivalism. Rather than lean into spirituality or martial skills, he relies on intellect and logical problem solving to navigate the complex challenges unique to the mountainous regions from which his family hails. For example, he advocates readily for reducing taxation on high-income earners as a means to stimulate expenditure... and if there's anything Lonzio has an appreciation for, its expenditure.

• Brady Grayhope  + (Look, everybody needs somebody sometime, a …
  Look, everybody needs somebody sometime, and Brady's pretty good at becoming whatever's needed for any given situation. Manual labor? Check. Mercenary work? Why not? He loves hats! Arm candy? Okay, but shaving costs extra. Haze hookup? Sure, he can get that for you. Anything less savory, I mean why not, but it'll might cost you, because a night in the cells is so bad for the skin. Easygoing, wisecracking, friendly almost to a fault, he tries to stay mellow and keep on everybody's good side, and he can be irresistably innocuous. Of course, the ingenuous charm can be hard to turn off, and some people have gone so far as to say they find Brady obnoxious, which is just a heartbreaking thing to say.

  Lord Dariel Bisland's concerns are mainly aesthetic in nature. This might come off as very silly or trivial when compared to the dutiful glory-hounding of the rest of his kin... which is an incredibly hurtful thing to say and exactly why he's locked himself away in his rooms and refuses to come out ever again!

• Dycard Blackshore  + (Lord Dycard Blackshore has an easy manner …
  Lord Dycard Blackshore has an easy manner that makes others like him. That joking tone and teasing eye flatters everyone. He knows his limits and respects those that do not find his brand of flirtation to their suiting. He just moves on to the next one without any hard feelings. However, underneath that gentlemen courtier's demeanor is an iron will, steadfast heart and tenacious survivor who does /whatever/ he needs to thrive and survive.

• Romulius Blackshore  + (Lord Romulius Blackshore is a hard man wit …
  Lord Romulius Blackshore is a hard man with a forceful personality that can be considered stubborn and brash to some. Others consider it empassioned and determined to a fault. He is hard because he has had to be for as long as he can remember first with his Father and then later fighting for his very survival quite literally. He still hasn't come all the way back yet, to the here and now, and maybe part of him never will. He is determined however to do whatever it takes for Blackshore to be rebuilt, to refuse to allow the story of his Family to end that day, and see it become better than it ever was.
  and see it become better than it ever was.)
• Victus Thrax  + (Lord Victus Thrax knows full well where hi …
  Lord Victus Thrax knows full well where his talents lay, and they most certainly do not involve flowery speeches or clever schemes. A laconic warrior favoring (brutally) direct solutions to problems, Victus seems to represent the barbaric warrior stereotype that enemies of House Thrax decry. But he's not a truly bloodthirsty man; he simply sees no good reason to put his soldiers at risk by being foolishly merciful with defeated (but not helpless) enemies and his grimly simple outlook on the proper treatment of enemies colors his treatment of them off the field. A fiercely loyal soldier well aware of his own limitations, Victus knows he has neither the training nor the temperment for machiavellian political leadership or for limp-wristed diplomacy that caters to perfumed weaklings. Enemies of House Thrax have called Victus joyless or humorless, but that's not entirely true; give him a bloodied sword in hand, a vanquished enemy on the field, and the cheers of soldiers around him and Victus will be all smiles. Since raising to his new position as Prince of the Maelstrom, Victus has shown marked change in how he deals with an everyday life. Complicated situations of rulership and those that deal with other individuals are more often handled with shockingly, a degree of diplomacy. Sometimes, even the barest hint of ‘tact’. The influence of his Valardin nee Grayson wife in encouraging leadership without an iron fist cannot be understated when it comes to matters of sovereignty. Though that has not changed the fact that he is at his core a simple man, with no filter for softer language nor his true opinions when in the company of strangers and those he’s familiar with. Perhaps most surprising is the fact that he seems to have adopted his own sense of humor, though it’s cuttingly dry and often too blunt to be enjoyed by those who do not share its taste. Most improperly is when it spreads to making light-hearted mockery of nobility itself. He takes his responsibilities with grim seriousness and drive, but he is no stranger to indulging in the fact that his power and status allows him to say and do things of ridiculously gauche proportions without the consequence of having a head-of-house punishing such behavior.

  Lorenzo's baseline is warmth: diplomatic due to native empathy, there seems to be something compassionate at his core, a wellspring of human kindness that can never run dry. This grants him an innate knack for certain kinds of diplomacy, especially those requiring empathy or the diffusion of tension. Generally innocuous, he is not a student of subtlety, and can be slow to catch implications, which can make him the butt of certain kinds of comedy, a joshing he takes generally in good stead. Innuendo flying over his head -- except for when comprehension dawns and he flusters, blushes and stammers -- is a good example of this. But really, Lorenzo's nature is that of a young man who honestly tries to think the best of people and find the silver lining in any dark cloud.

  Lorien is most at home in nature and working with animals, accustomed to long stretches of quiet and solitary living. That isn't to say that he doesn't enjoy the company of others. He enjoys an easy camaraderie with those who care to take the time to talk to and get to know him. He can tend toward quiet and introspection, but has no trouble speaking his mind if he feels that he has something that needs saying.

• Lot Medraut  + (Lot can seem very simple: he enjoys money, …
  Lot can seem very simple: he enjoys money, fighting, and luxuries beyond what a normal peasant could otherwise expect. Not much prone to idealism, he is a pragmatist at heart. Gregarious and merry in his high moods, dour and destructive in his low moods, there are occasional hints of cunning that slip through his bluster, but Lot is one for whom the cover exists to judge the book.

• Rufio Proscipi  + (Loud and boisterous, Rufio's personality i …
  Loud and boisterous, Rufio's personality is akin to a roaring bonfire. A lifelong soldier, Rufio learned long ago that life could be extinguished with an unlucky parry or by simple misfortune on the field, and as such, it is far too short and precious to spend wallowing in unhappiness. Not your typical lord, Rufio's filter is sometimes a bit nonexistent and he is known to speak his mind, right or wrong.

• Ivar Halfshav  + (Loud, odd, friendly, brutish, strange. All …
  Loud, odd, friendly, brutish, strange. All words used to describe Ivar, and none too incorrect. Though larger than life and savage, this nobleman turned wildman. He can be honorable and respectful, though in his own odd ways. He is a man of great sorrows and great joys, uninhibited in his emotions and feelings. But above all Ivar is a man that seeks to test his limits, his worth.
  that seeks to test his limits, his worth.)
• Raknorauth Frost  + (Loud, wild, and full of confidence, at fir …
  Loud, wild, and full of confidence, at first glance Raknorauth might well fit the stereotype of an uncivilized Shav. However, those who truly grow to know him soon discover the purity in his heart, and the earnest love he harbors for the people around him. He is the sort of man that faces each challenge with the fullness of his spirit. Uncivilized he may be, but he is also kind, brave, and possessed of a simple, child-like wonder at the miracles of the world.
  -like wonder at the miracles of the world.)
• Emilia de Lys  + (Love and adoration, for all her righteous …
  Love and adoration, for all her righteous fellows that stand in her rank and file, and for all those that seek her for protection, is the crux of Emilia's personality; And exactly because of this, her righteous fury and hatred for the apostate and heretic is boundless. Emilia is fiercely religious and single-minded in her purpose to protect its teachings and shield the Compact from evil, no matter where it may be-- within or without. But few are those who have seen her so, and many know her as someone who is honest, straight-forward, generous and graceful. Every day she treats like a blessing from the Gods, and every Creature with life she loves equally. She abhors violence, even though she is a master of it, and very rarely will she ever resort to it-- she will sooner run, hide or even prefer to be the one injured than injure another, in hopes of avoiding further aggression. However, should the cohorts of evil, the unrighteous or dishonorable, stand before her, she will not hesitate or show mercy. She strives to be the pillar of stability in every community she ventures into, and selflessly gives to accommodate all within. She never shares her reasons for why she does any of it, and just as surely, she shields the secrets of others.

• Calla Vaevici  + (Love your family. Love your country. Love …
  Love your family. Love your country. Love your people. There is no room in the Code for one's self, and Calla wishes she was better than she is, for even though she has memorized the lessons, she still is not comfortable with the eyes she gets from the woman in her mirror. Granted, she was never the best Vaevici, that honor reserved to literally ever other kinsmen of hers. The catch is that now they are dead, and Calla is the leader of those who remain, responsible for carrying her family's legacy. Even though her people are happy, Calla cannot convince herself. The Code demands perfection, and Calla has locked in her head her own worst judge. Sometimes the reprimands take the voice of her mother, sometimes her father's or siblings', but they always find something to use against her. Although she is personable, dignified and insightful to most, quite capable of hiding her own insecurities, truth is she might have lost her chance at sleeping soundly at night. This is her burden to bear, for her family, for her country and for her people.

• Lucaj Grimhall  + (Lucaj is as grim as his family name might …
  Lucaj is as grim as his family name might imply, though those who know him well claim that smiles can be observed on rare occasions. In public his words are few, and his humor is dry. He is a man of old traditions, and his manners are impeccable the better to never shame his house. Ribald jokes and other moments of misbehavior are saved for the company of his men.

  Lucio is knows that his success as a performer is dependent upon the good will of the noble class, and so he has worked hard to learn how to charm them. Outgoing and gregarious, he enjoys wordplay as much as he enjoys singing and delights in witty conversation. He also, however, takes great pride in his art, and feels the effects of both praise and criticism sharply.

• Lucius Winterstar  + (Lucius has pride to spare, though, he flau …
  Lucius has pride to spare, though, he flaunts it in a way that he merely comes off as confident over arrogant. He never second guesses what he is doing and barrels forward with his plans, once he has made the decision. He is quite the traditional man of the Thrax fealty and it shows. He firmly believes in women and men having separate roles in the grand scheme of things. He carries himself as a man use to being in control and little puts him in a place where he loses that aura. All this being part of him makes him seem like a cold, almost cruel man to those who can not get past his mannerism.

  Luckbearer. Golden Child. Foxfriend. Jak o' Crows. Whimsy. Hedonistic. A gambler and Fool. No one likes a braggart, but, Gods damn him...Ravna is -lucky-, and that good fortune has tainted everything about him, and his outlook on life. Light-hearted, and unable to take anything seriously - even violence - the world, life itself, has become a game, and he is rolling dice with Death...but the bastard keeps winning! In a room where everything is in its place, expect this man to enter and summarily mess it up. Or swipe a few things, that's happened more than once. SorryNotSorry.

• Lucrezia Pravus  + (Lucrezia is the charming outsider, in all …
  Lucrezia is the charming outsider, in all her roguish glory and unhinged nigh-madness. She prefers to go where the tide of her desires takes her, where there is something worthy to be conquered, be it rival to be beat, a new record to be set, or a new lover to be won. She loves flourish and speeches, and has a soft spot for omens, folklore and verbal sparring. Intense and mercurial, her only constant is Pravus, the captain's true anchor. Outside loyalty to her family, she has no patience for pretty dresses, the right way of using dozens of silverware per meal and fake smiles. She cannot abide for fake compliments and will speak her mind, perpetuating the Pravus stereotype for being the source of many a scandal. Hard to rein in, she was born to be free.
  Hard to rein in, she was born to be free.)
• Luis Igniseri  + (Luis wants adventure, romance, and really …
  Luis wants adventure, romance, and really wild things! A born troublemaker who struggles forever with restraint, he wants his fingers in as many pies as possible. He yearns to distinguish himself for a future legacy of song and story, but doesn't have that clear an idea of how to do that. He occasionally struggles with chains of command, although not so much that he would come up against the bounds of his sworn oaths. He wants more than he has of pretty much everything with a kind of restless, whole-hearted, full-bodied lust for life.
  whole-hearted, full-bodied lust for life.)
• Luna Declan  + (Luna is known to go by the beat of her own drum, quite literally. However, her overall oddness can be endearing. She has a whimsical outlook on life and can be easily sidetracked with interesting items.)
• Lycoris Hawkmour  + (Lycoris is a generally quiet and contempla …
  Lycoris is a generally quiet and contemplative sort in public. Outwardly pleasant, she hides a deeply cynical and pragmatic personality and given the right circumstances she can also be fiercely loyal and caring. She prefers to think before acting, remaining a sea of calm in the eye of the storm. She is by no means cold; on the contrary her emotions tend to burn red hot and passionate given the right motivation even though her outward appearance suggests differently.

  Lydia must have paid a lot of silver to the Whispers in order to forge her into the coquettish, debonair, and impish young woman she is today from what she was in her youth. Back then, she allowed being the baby of the family to define her and may have caused a number of minor social embarrassments. These days, however, it seems she has been tempered with impeccable manners and refined social grace. The North would never allow her to be entirely broken, of course. She remains bold, outspoken, and shamelessly ambitious. Behind her flirtatious laughs and there is an eager and sharp diplomatic mind with a cutting wit and surprising business acumen.

• Lyonis Pravus  + (Lyonis is a man that invites abuse and ins …
  Lyonis is a man that invites abuse and inspires no confidence in others. An aura of weakness and frailty surrounds him and because of this others forget he is a venomous blackguard. Strength is not a word used when describing Lyonis but he does benefit from a lack of pride and a willingness to do the dirty work others avoid. Lyonis is loyal to his house and family and not much else. When interacting with those around him, he tends to speak in a quiet and unobtrusive tone. He tends to become attached to those who treat him with any sort of kindness but is usually too terrified of losing them to make to many demands of them.

• Lyra Byrne  + (Lyra is a visionary dreamer, and it seems …
  Lyra is a visionary dreamer, and it seems that no matter the obstacles that are placed in the path of her ambitions, she prides herself in navigating her way through. She's quick to smile and slow to anger, amd if there's something she believes in, she believes in in passionately; be it a matter of politics or something more mundane like the ideal temperature at which to serve wine. Despite her young age she knows her mind and isn't afraid to speak it, stating her opinion and leaving it at that, and if someone really wants to argue the point they'll find themselves arguing it alone.

  Lys is the kind of girl one could imagine saying something like: "Don't make eye contact with me if you don't want to fight." It isn't that she's unpleasant, she can be quite charming when she wants to be... But it's just that she'd prefer to argue or better yet fight! Unless there's something expensive of pretty involved.

  Macario has questions and - charming to a fault - he is most happy to tease the answers out of his unwary prey. His study of the law and the Thirteenth is really a study of people: how they work, their motivations and desires, and how they respond under stress. It is no accident that he chose a vocation that allows him to be compensated for prodding others and craft laws based on his observations. He thrives on new acquaintances; each has secrets to be unearthed. Macario is in every aspect meticulous, disciplined, canny, and circumspect. He knows he must earn nobility where others are handed it. Ambition makes him bold; intelligence makes him wise.

• Macda Grayson  + (Macda loves to feel alive, and will go to …
  Macda loves to feel alive, and will go to almost any length to own that for herself. She's a fun-lover and a brawler, who loves nothing better than bare-fist, barefoot fighting or running around having adventures. She has a weakness for fine drink and fine jewelry that she uses to balance her rougher tendencies. Reckless, with a bluff vigor that makes her a nearly irresistible force, still her desire to be a trouble is less than her desire not to cut herself off from the family and the family fortune. It's a balance that she has learned well over the years, even if it did require a few close calls. Who doesn't love a good throwdown now and again? Well, lots of people, and Macda won't judge (much) -- she hurls herself at life full speed, no holds barred, and would prefer to let nothing at all stand in her way. Her favorite evening? Go out, drink whiskey, break a table over some guy's head, make a general mess of things -- then get herself cleaned up the next day with brightly colored outfits and rings of champagne silver to go out dancing. If there's anything she never learned, it's to pace herself. Life is just too damned short not to embrace with everything you have.

  Maddox is a thoughtful man who listens more than he speaks. But when he does have something to add to a conversation he is animated and interested, brown eyes lighting up and his hands gesturing wildly as though to emphasize whatever point he's making. He is a man who wants to think about things - but after he does, he generally has something intelligent to say about them too. Insightful and interested in a broad range of topics, he rarely finds himself without something interesting to talk about no matter the company.

• Madrien Daupenne  + (Madrien can actually be quite charming whe …
  Madrien can actually be quite charming when he puts his mind to it. By all accounts, he seldom chooses to do so. Rather, his bouts of likeability are sudden and brief, tending to end abruptly with the clink of another person's coin in his pouch. And the requisite paperwork neatly ordered and signed in all the necessary places, of course, since his mind, belying his appearance, thrives in system and order. His is a keen and perceptive intellect, barrelling down a direct line between the present circumstance and his preferred outcome, and it would require all the force of a nearly inhuman will to redirect it. Fortunately, he is also possessed of just such a will, and can, when necessary, make those changes. Often, he will even undertake to slightly conceal the very real disdain he feels towards a person who requires of him such an effort. Things, objects, such as numbers, may present a challenge but they do not constitute a problem. Presentation of a real problem requires an active agent, a 'person' if you will, and that person is always the absolute worst. He also possesses a dry, quiet wit that can manifest as sardonically as the rest of his personality, but displays it seldom enough that it cannot either be expected of him or accidentally humanize him.

  Maeve loves nature. She loves animals, the plants and flowering things around her. She loves the strength found in trees, in mountains, and finds a city something of a child trying to hard to emulate what the earth creates naturally. The people in cities are confounding, confusing creatures and it makes her feel out of place on occasion. She doesn't exactly hate the other cultures, but more finds them completely confounding. She appreciates the artistry and beauty they try to create but can't help compare them to a patch of wildflowers in a forest glade. She gets frustrated easily, but knows how to keep herself calm, and work through things. She's extremely brilliant, and she uses that to adapt, even if she doesn't quite fit in.

  Maharet is an adept socialite, a linguist, and a woman of distinction and poise. As the Voice of House Leporidae she is the second most powerful woman in all of Tremorus which is not something she takes for granted. It is exceedingly rare that a commoner ever rises to such an influential position of authority but spend enough time in her presence and one can see why. Statecraft comes easy to her, second nature, as if she was born to rule. Compassion is a trait that can be exceedingly rare in some places, but not in Tremorus, the people tend to be open hearted even while practicing caution when dealing with outsiders. Her humility is another defining feature that makes her somewhat endearing to those who can appreciate a powerful woman with good sense to keep her ego in check.

  Mailys is easy on the eyes but that is far from what has made her so successful. The Corsetina is sea breeze, pleasant to be around of. She laughs easily and seems to possess a heart of gold that has resisted poverty and many difficulties along the way. Mailys is also loyal to a fault, reason why she has decided to stand by her family above all other demands. Sharp of tongue she can be sassy and add some spice to any party, but a masterful courtier knows when to draw attention to herself and when to let others shine.

• Malcolm Shepherd  + (Malcolm is perfectly suited for being a du …
  Malcolm is perfectly suited for being a duke, if one ignores personality, training, inclination, background, motivation and goals, but aside from that, he's perfectly suited. Being told this was his new DUTY and OBLIGATION might make something in him roll over and die in complete exasperated surrender, but at his heart, he really does try to help people, even if a hefty dose of sarcasm helps him deal with what life gives him without dying of alcoholic liver failure.

  Malesh is a a true fighter, when it comes to economics. He knows that getting anything done the right way absolutely needs motivation and drive.

  Malika is a corsair through-and-through. At the command of her ships, she is as wild as the sea wind and as daring as any who have ever sailed upon it. When she is at leisure, she can drink and carouse with the best of sailors, and as such she has earned her place among them as well as above them. Not one to mince words, she prefers what she views as cold, hard truths with brutal disregard for sentiment. While this can lead to stubbornness in those she disagrees with, she is as straightforward with a kind word as she is with a harsh one. She is open with her feelings in a way that most people are envious of. She feels everything she says, and she says everything she feels.

  Manuela is full of courage and she does have a strong will to defend her opinion and her values. This healer believes that human life is so valuable, that a human should never be killed and war should never be conducted, even in self-defense. From her point of view international and personal disputes can and should be peacefully resolved. She is always quick to scold those who get into fights and she is brave enough to scold even the King if needed. Some may call her an old maid in a younger woman's body, but she considers herself as the only one wise in this garden of children.

• Rafael Bisland  + (Many expect Rafael, a Mercy, to be a gentl …
  Many expect Rafael, a Mercy, to be a gentler alternative to his more prominent militant and academic brothers but that isn't necessarily a guarantee. Rafael is self-righteous and unapologetically vain. What he brings in bedside manner, he makes up for in a kind of icy ruthlessness. He willfully ignores those of life's trivialities, such as certain human variables, that do not serve his goals, inevitably making those rare displays of sincere warmth all the more impactful. Rafael is often spoken of as having heroically attended the sickbeds (and prior to the Compact's re-introduction to the Queen of Endings, the birthing beds) of high born and highly privileged alike. Much rarer are stories in which Rafael bloodies his robes mending and tending to the common folk. Whispers of this perhaps being unbecoming of him have not as of yet carried far through the insulation that his family's notoriety affords him.

• Sophie Valardin  + (Many mistake compassion and mercy as weakn …
  Many mistake compassion and mercy as weakness, a sign that someone can be readily taken advantage of. Many have not met Princess Sophie Valardin, Mercy of Lagoma. She feels drawn to being a light in the darkness, a beacon of hope in a cruelly indifferent world. She cares deeply about people, regardless of station, fealty, or title, dedicating her life to the well-being of strangers. Her high station is no barrier to her willingness to get her hands dirty to help others, viewing her high birth as a useful tool to aid those who need it, and feeling a bone-deep obligation to those beneath her. Her station makes her entirely too accustomed to being obeyed and taken seriously, which is a pronounced advantage when dealing with those who might take advantage of anyone in her care, but can leave the young woman overstepping her bounds or failing to show the proper respect to the entrenched dignitaries of Arx when it comes to matters about which she feels most passionate. A flaw which she knows can cost her much needed support in the service of Lagoma. Those who know her best are aware that she has a slightly cheeky sense of humor and a propensity for ribald innuendo. Whenever this aspect of her personality surprises others, it conjures in her a good-natured amusement. Not all Oathlanders are stuffy, after all.

  Many people who meet Sina find the Archscholar to be rather quiet and contemplative. In her younger days, while serving as a handmaiden in House Thrax, she rarely spoke, and people thought she was mute. Perhaps it was due to some tragedy in her life or out of a sense of subservience that comes with living as a servant in a household under the rule of the terrifying Donrai Thrax. In such conditions, silence was her best protection from notice. Since the Prince's demise, however, and as she has grown older, the young woman has found her voice, and now uses it on behalf of the Faith, to speak words of compassion and devotion. She is still very quiet more often than not, especially in large gatherings or around Thrax men, but there is also a resolute and purposeful presence about her, though she can be somewhat mischievous as well when the mood strikes her. Still, she exudes a sense of quiet reverence, faithfulness and loyalty to the Gods and the Faith.

  Many would call Modi an eccentric fellow and promptly write it off as his Shav'arvani origins. Regardless of appearances the man is always quick to smile, quicker to offer niceties to strangers and friends alike. For all the time spent in the wilds he does make great efforts to 'fit in' with civilized society. His voice carries a rough and tumble cadence that tries its very best to be polite, but rarely succeeds. He is inquisitive, perhaps to a fault as he continues to learn his newfound life. Though for all his social hardships, the long periods of time spent surviving the harsh colds of the North have left their mark. He is a survivalist when out of city walls and within them, with keen eyes to the path least traveled and innovative solutions to problems. If anything could be said for certain, it's that Modi tries. He tries entirely too hard.

  Many would expect a prodigal to be a wild, savage thing with little in the way of self possession and persuasiveness. They have not yet met Aahana. In the battlefield of politics, tribal or of The Compact, with calm and steady grace Aahana slaughters weak talking points and irrational emotions in her enemies with a deep well of knowledge that she dispenses with enrapturing words and a charming smile. She pursues what she and her house wants like this, though she is not above being pragmatic and relenting when she sees the need to. She is quite flexible and patient, willing to wait and change her approach to succeed. But that is business. She is not just a woman of business, but a woman of pleasure, who enjoys with a passion the pleasure of arts, whether creating songs through her voice or enjoying songs with her body. And not only is pleasure found in the the art of the deal or the arts, but also the art of love; she enjoys her flirting just as passionately as she loves the arts.

  Mara is woefully unprepared for what her life has become. Giving and warm of heart, she has never wanted much, the young woman's only dream to see marvels around the world and beautiful dresses. Now her father is lost and she is the last of his line. The memory of his loss is embittering, but more overwhelming than that is the feeling of being faced with insurmountable challenges she is wholly unsure how to tackle. Somehow, however, Mara feels that deep within she has the will to see it through. She doesn't know why, but the gods are good, and she will pull through, with a little help of her new friends.
