• 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.

• Mahir Vel'ichalahi  + (One might think that a man so energetic wo …
  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.

• Nikias Inverno  + (One must always stick to their code of hon …
  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.

• Elfriede Waters  + (One needs not stare long to summarize the …
  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.

• Katarina Al'Muraq-Sabbat  + (One would think a foreign princess so far …
  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 Culler  + (Orathy isn't the smartest crayon in the bo …
  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. He will take money; he will fight hard; he will drink hard; he will laugh at terrible jokes; he will get up tomorrow and do it all again.

• Orchid Champagne  + (Orchid is a quiet and gentle person. She g …
  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'. She is loyal, almost to a fault, to those she cares about and has a temper. She is a very bad liar, as she always has tell-tale signs of her attempts to lie.

  Ordain is faithful to his pantheon and serves his majesty loyally. Though he wants to be a pure knight, he is still young and is sometimes convinced by worldly desires. He is serious about his knighthood and doesn't take it for granted. He resides strongly within his brotherhood and looks to his older peers for guidance and advice. He is willing and eager to learn and better himself always.

• Orland Amadeo  + (Orland is cynical, distrustful and suspici …
  Orland is cynical, distrustful and suspicious. He's also shrewd, cunning and incredibly observant. Despite an aloof cynicism that dominates his expression he can be quite personable when necessary. He can cross the full range of emotions and is expressively an open book. Yet he is incredibly discreet and incredibly tight lipped when need arises and has all the makings of a trusted and particularly effective confidant. Hardened from an early life on the streets of the lower boroughs, he has yet to quite fit comfortably into his role as Voice for a noble house.

• Ornella Velenosa  + (Ornella has always lived in the shadows. T …
  Ornella has always lived in the shadows. The light makes her uncomfortable. She's guarded and always seems worried about an impending disaster that probably doesn't exist. It's her family that she's always worried about and she's constantly at work to protect each and every one of them. If she has downtime, it's hard to see.

  Orphan. Fiercely loyal. Stubborn. Eerily Quiet. Erela Blackhurst cant really deny those things. Shes learned to be very loyal to those that shes close to in her life, but the King comes first. Followed by the Kings Own. If someone dares to take a verbal jab at her unknown parentage shes been rumored to get violent.

• Orrin Seliki  + (Orrin is in many ways larger than life. W …
  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. Having been widowed some years ago, while he has no problems finding company as suits him, he is starting to long once more for a true partner.

• Oskar Eswynd  + (Oskar favors the long view of a question. …
  Oskar favors the long view of a question. Sometimes this can seem indecisive or over-cautious, but when a misplaced step can bring ruin to a house, Oskar is the sort who doesn't mind taking a bit longer to be sure he has all the information he needs. 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. He was raised to rule and he means to do it well, damn what anyone else thinks.

  Ostler is a slow-moving but thorough person. Outwardly self-indulgent and indolent, he can be stirred to activity by curiosity or righteous indignation. He was a lazy scholar, but has a generally good grasp of theology and history. Soft-hearted and prone to make bd judgements through misplaced mercy.

• Otho Felpspur  + (Otho has survived in circumstances where m …
  Otho has survived in circumstances where most others would have fallen because he at the core is a coward. When life gets tough, he finds the exit. Or at least a decent hiding hole until the storm passes. Being a coward doesn't mean that he's afraid of his own shadow. In fact the old cogger has a knack of knowing just how far to push others before his winsome smile and self deprecating words calms the situation. Don't mistake the man's act as senility. He's sharp as a tac. Otho as a head for numbers. If there's a loophole to be found, that man will find it.

• Othuze Bisland  + (Othuze is smart, quick-witted and clever; …
  Othuze is smart, quick-witted and clever; a very relaxed and practical man not easy to provoke. 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. It is the type of voice that many seem to consider pleasant and attractive: hoarse and deep, with a light and clear laughter.
  and deep, with a light and clear laughter.)
• Otto Grayhope  + (Otto is a cheerful man who enjoys his work …
  Otto is a cheerful man who enjoys his work. He is happiest when he is working in his forge, but when he is pulled clear he is personable and friendly. He is curious about things related to his work and will strike up conversations with any other crafter to talk about their work and their inspiration.

• Ouida Harthall  + (Ouida's smile is quick to appear, and slow …
  Ouida's smile is quick to appear, and slow to fade; she may act with carefully calculated decorum as would be expected of one charged to protect her brother and Marquessa, she hasn't lost the twinkle in her eye of her more carefree days spent wooing and enjoying the attentions of many a courtly lord or lady. 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. In the presence of a threat, however, the warmth and courtly grace evaporates into something far more... expedient.

• Leola Allenatore  + (Out of doors, Leola is sure of herself. He …
  Out of doors, Leola is sure of herself. Her stride is long and sure, her eyes gaze out and away and she speaks confidently, clearly, her words carrying easily. Indoors, her steps shorten nearly too much, her voice is muted, and her eyes flick about, overcompensating and uncomfortable.

• Cole Farago  + (Out of his element, Cole tends to be a lit …
  Out of his element, Cole tends to be a little wide-eyed and awestruck at anything involving big city life. He's a hard worker, willing to at least try just about anything needed, and at his best with hard labor. Once the awkwardness of new acquaintance wears off, he tends to be quick to smile or laugh, with a tendency towards upbeat.

• Tania Peake  + (Outgoing, charitable, and more than a litt …
  Outgoing, charitable, and more than a little flirtatious, Tania has a laid-back demeanor. She gives herself easily to the simpler things in life and brushes off hardships as best she can. An unending optimist, she tries to see the good in people. Tania wants to reduce the poverty in the lower buroughs and the area around the harbor. Her dream is to open a tavern on the water's edge.

• Ardee de Lire  + (Outgoing, warm, a free spirit with a love …
  Outgoing, warm, a free spirit with a love of laughter. On the surface Ardee is fun and flirtatious, the aura around her brimming with promises of adventure. Her wits are sharp and her tongue even sharper. Beneath the soft, feminine surface, however, is a spine of steel. The woman knows what it takes to survive, but is skilled at playing soft and innocent.
  t is skilled at playing soft and innocent.)
• Grimgar Redrain  + (Outspoken, headstrong, and with all the so …
  Outspoken, headstrong, and with all the social graces of a bull in a china shop. Those are good ways to describe Prince Grimgar Redrain. He has a dark outlook on things, can be very pessimistic and hates change. He also picks fights at the worst of times but has the redeeming quailities of being extremely loyal not just to his family but to everyone he trusts. He can be kind at times but most likely find it hard for the large man to be anything but intimidating.

  Outwardly warm and friendly, with a determination to do right by most he meets, he truly strives to see the best in everyone who enters his life. He deeply believes there's something worth saving in nearly everyone, even if they themselves might not see it. Forsaking violence to the point of pacifism, there's a haunted quality about Nash, a sadness behind his eyes that he strives to hide and not trouble others with.

• Ramiro Whyne  + (Overall, Ramiro is a relatively friendly m …
  Overall, Ramiro is a relatively friendly man. While there are times of a dark mood, mostly he's amiable to talking to others, even if not necessarily one to speak up first. With that said, he's quite observant and definitely has a passion for the wine he sells, willing to open up and talk to anyone willing to listen about it.

• Padraig Shieldarm  + (Padraig is entirely too kind. This kindnes …
  Padraig is entirely too kind. This kindness makes it easy to take advantage of him. He's generous, selfless, brave. 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. Sometimes his ambition and his virtue clash, but virtue wins the day when it does. The only way to know if he acts this way to those who are close to him, if this is all a mask, is to take your chances and try and get there.

• Saira Grayson  + (Painfully shy. Perhaps too shy, might be t …
  Painfully shy. Perhaps too shy, might be the first thought when one calls to mind the youngest child of Tiberias and Annalena Grayson. 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. Despite her reservations, she carries herself with grace and pride, as any Grayson should. Her goals are not outwardly discussed by Saira herself, but any palace servant could tell anyone asking that the young Princess is an artist and even toys with needle and thread upon occasion.

• Ethan Merari  + (Passion with purpose, this intense young m …
  Passion with purpose, this intense young man vibrates with energy when he's talking about a subject he loves. When one tries to engage on something that bores him, he impatiently cuts them off. He doesn't like to have his time wasted unless it's a client and he's on the clock. Ambitious, he's not above pushing his own agenda when it suits him. Loyalty is bought and paid for by the contract.
  ty is bought and paid for by the contract.)
• Baldessare Velenosa  + (Passionate and driven, Baldessare is a hot …
  Passionate and driven, Baldessare is a hot core of dynamic ambition layered beneath a dry reserve. His sense of humor is understated, but rarely banished entirely. Wit earns his respect, and intelligence, his regard. 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. Puzzles need solving; battles need winning; emotional problems need... what? He's not sure but he'll definitely try to come up with it.
  t he'll definitely try to come up with it.)
• Rhaesena Fidante  + (Passionate and vocal, Yslaine is not as quiet as some would have you believe. Get her talking, pique her interest and she will not stop.)
• Ember Redreef  + (Passionate, ambitious and bold, Ember rule …
  Passionate, ambitious and bold, Ember rules by dint of force of personality. She works hard, aggressive and confident, and brooks no disrespect. 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. Though she has a reputation that suggests merciless crushing of all who stand against her, those who speak to her directly might find that exaggerated: not reckless cruelty, but relentless competence, is her stock in trade.

• Rohran Keaton  + (Patience. Rohran Keaton is a paragon of p …
  Patience. Rohran Keaton is a paragon of patience, though only the brave usually have the audacity to make him wait for something. Rohran is a bit of a mystery, a layered man and one might not always know, outside of the training yard or battlefield, precisely which version of Rohran they are going to get. 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. There are times when a hint of wistfulness can be seen, on the horizon of his mood, the poet peeking out at the edges, the Chivalric Knight with his pen and his prose and the wind billowing over the moors.

• Saya Dalin  + (Peculiar. There are other words for Saya …
  Peculiar. There are other words for Saya but they're not very polite. She's usually half present within any given situation, any given moment. She's forgetful and has an aura of far-away melancholy. Laconic and more than a little bit lazy until she gets a flash of inspiration and then she is a fury of movement and production. She's as likely to suddenly start sketching a new project as she is to walk off mid-sentence.

• Claude Crucible  + (People react to grief and trauma in a coun …
  People react to grief and trauma in a countless variety of ways. Claude is a man whose experiences have made him gentler and more empathetic to the world around him. He is someone who knows that he avoided a very brutal fate, and holds on to that fact as a responsibility to do what he can for others. In another life, he was warm and friendly and even gregarious; now he is finding out which of those parts of himself still exist and which have grown into something else. 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!'

  Peregrine is intense. It's almost as if she models herself on the birds of prey she's named for, being prone to hard, silent stares and sudden bursts of (potentially destructive) movement. In Arx she is very much out of her own element but the confidence, even haughtiness, of her bearing does not make her a quiet and biddable houseguest. She is elegant strength. She is lethal grace. She is /not/ domesticated.

• Linus Ashford  + (Perhaps the only archaeologist alive to pr …
  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 Seliki  + (Peri is thoughtful, bright and by nature, …
  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 Ilic  + (Pero is subject to dreams beyond his stati …
  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. To which he exhibits loyalty - cautious loyalty, given how his parents sold him out - but more than he'd be known to offer, otherwise, given the new life they have given him.
  e, given the new life they have given him.)
• Arianwen Grayhope  + (Perpetually stubborn and commonly pragmati …
  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.

  Petal is often shy and softly spoken. Her personality sometimes blooms with time and she can be downright talkative to those she trusts and knows well. 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. She tends have a soft spot for other prodigals or Shavs and will try to help them when she can. Petal has moments of playfulness that peek through her often somber demeanor.

• Pietro Igniseri  + (Pietro is vibrant and energetic, coursing …
  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.

  Playful, but dangerous; she seems to have very little in the way of concern for how her actions affect others, though this seems borne of personal hedonism rather than any ill will.

  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.
