A
Aahana Magnotta +	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.  +
Aahana Malvici +	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.

Aahana Volkov +	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.

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.  +
Aaron Blackburn +	It wouldn't be wrong to call Aaron Blackburn an optimist with a penchant for sarcasm and the distinctive ability of keeping others at arms' length while appearing to welcome them close. He's been dealt some hard knocks by life but bounced back with wry humor intact. He's got an explorers eye for fashion, and a daring that has been forcibly transmuted into his tailoring, and a leftover romanticism from his days adventuring under the employ of the Ashfords.  +
Abbas Thrax +	The Thraxian Warlord has come from the bottom to rise to lead the greatest fleet Arvum has ever known. He is determined and dedicated in all that he does. Often he carries himself in grimdark determination and is an unshakable force. Sometimes he is brooding and lost in the weight of blood that has spilled under his leadership. And rarely amongst select individuals he smiles and fosters some warmth.  +
Abby Laurent +	Exhuberant without being overbearing and at times imaginative to a fault. Abby surrounds herself with a surprising amount of energy and light for someone who worships a Goddess of death. Rarely is she without a smile or a curiosity to her gaze, which paired well with her attentive mind. She is empathetic and open, always one to lend an ear to troubles or a soft voice toward comfort. It serves her exceptionally well in her practices with funerary rites and working alongside the mourning.  +
Abellus Ironfoot +	Abellus Ironfoot grieves for his father, Tuscak Ironfoot, who has been vilified by the Oathlanders to justify his trial and subsequent death. He has bended on knee not because he wanted to join the Compact but becuse he chose life over death. He is his brother's protector and will make sure that whatever hell comes their way, he will protect what's left of his family, even if it means serving the one that arrested him.  +
Abigail Lyonesse +	Abigail's personality tends to be a bit on the serious side, at times she may be playful and sweet but more then likely she is right to the point. Though some have said she has an attitude, not that she feels that way.  +
Acacia Culler +	Acacia embodies all that the sea can bring. The majesty of the vast waters, the treacherous weather, the unsurpassed beauty. She loves the poetry of how well she fits with that, and uses that to her advantage, whether it is fighting off pirates, negotiating business, or drawing people in to hear her tales of adventure. She loves the freedom her chosen life offers her, and loves that even nobles seek her out to procure something or other. She's quick with a knife and quicker with her tongue and has no shame in tearing someone down that deserves it. Prone to act before completely contemplating the consequences, Acacia has a remarkable ability to turn any situation around to suit her.  +
Acantha Clearlake +	Acanthas personality can change just as easily as the weather does. Shes slow to anger, easy to make smile and very rarely is a venomous person. If she starts throwing things then its time to run away. Shes curious of new things. Wanting to learn more as she gets older, but she doesnt try to push herself into others business. She grew up in a heavily Shamanistic family, but since joining the Compact and bending the knee to Halfshav, shes been learning more about the Pantheon and things of that nature. Shes a quirky sort of woman all things considered with her past and how she was raised.  +
Achard de Ange +	A quiet, reserved man of subtle humor and sharp eyes, he seems slow to anger despite being always ready to act. Neither haughty nor humble, there is the confidence of the competent evident in his steps and stances, the hint that he has met threats and beaten them. It is not a braggart's posturing and boisterous noises, but only a quiet stare declaring his lack of fear and his determined path. There is kindness in his eyes at times, though, and a straightforward honesty that might evidence his commitment to the ideal of chivalry.  +
Aconite Fidante +	Attentive and sly. She has a curious nature and a self assured fearlessness for finding things out. She may not be the most attention grabbing person in the room but she can still weave a alluring mystique to draw someone's attention should she want it. Aconite listens more than she speaks in social settings and can be quite affable when the situation permits. ON occasion she is taken by a sullen fugue and refuses to talk to anyone at all but it all melts away within a few days and the young Courtier blooms back into socialble.  +
Aconite Unknown +	Attentive and sly. She has a curious nature and a self assured fearlessness for finding things out. She may not be the most attention grabbing person in the room but she can still weave a alluring mystique to draw someone's attention should she want it. Aconite listens more than she speaks in social settings and can be quite affable when the situation permits. ON occasion she is taken by a sullen fugue and refuses to talk to anyone at all but it all melts away within a few days and the young Courtier blooms back into socialble.  +
Adalbern Rimeheart +	At first glance, Adalbern doesn't exactly look like the most approachable type and his blunt directness can put others off. Those who get to know him however, soon come to learn that he's a man that takes pleasure in the simple things in life, and while rough around the edges, his words are honest and once his loyalty is earned, it's nigh unshakeable. On the whole, he's slow to anger, enduring much before provoked, and it's a good thing as well. Once his anger is roused, it burns hot and unceasing, and on the battlefield a berserker's rage rises to the fore.  +
Adalmus Nightgold +	If one were to embody calm and charming, it would be Adalmus. An air of relaxation and aloofness exudes from this man, likewise, hes gaze about the area shows a deep intelligence to him, far more keen than most would sense. He generally gazes upon all things with wonder as well as scrutiny. From the enemies he castigates to the friends he vehemently defends. A dramatic and reactive creature, Adalmus is a man of great enjoyment of pleasures to all of the senses. He can be tempestuous and difficult to control, but his loyalty to his family is paramount.  +
Adalyn Clement +	Bright, cheery and desperate for a crowd. Adalyn loves fighting with her swords as much as she loves telling stories about the tale afterwards. There's almost no limit to the kind of grandiose showboating that she's inclined towards. Her journey on horseback from Artshall to Arx in particular is full of wild stories of the people (and creatures, if you would believe her) that she met along the way. Treasures found! Damsels saved! Maybe even some princes saved, wink wink. Many would say this isn't very Oathlander of her and some would even say she's making these things up. And she might be, it's hard to tell. She's so enthusiastic about it all. She's the first to jump in to champion others in honor duels, eager to display how quick and light she is on her feet. How she can be the one to get in the first blood. She's also the first to volunteer herself for crazy expeditions and adventures, the more dangerous, the better. It's possible that this is all a bid to prove herself or perhaps she's just an adrenaline junky that loves the rush. Either way, if you're looking for a companion on the road, pick Adalyn. Or she'll just come along anyway, how would you stop her?  +
Adder Trahir +	Adder presents an aura of self-possession so polished and gentlemanly that one might almost fail to detect the arrogant core that powers it. He's understanding, but entirely unsympathetic. He can be charming, even nice - but not kind. Not truly kind.  +
Adelais Savatier +	Despite her rather severe looks, Adelais isn't always cruel or otherwise unpleasant. She does tend to be a bit reserved, though (although some would qualify her as "dour", if they were being uncharitable). She tends to take her job very seriously, no matter the occasion, with a tendency toward conservatism or caution. Still, she isn't entirely humorless, even if she sometimes gives the impression that she is. If she feels she has the chance to relax, she opens up a little more - becomes warmer - but most of the time, she feels that she needs to keep herself in control. Her family and their fortunes are her motivation and what she strives to protect - occasionally through unsavory means. But if that means that others don't need to dirty their hands, so much the better. She'll do it for them and they - they can continue without worrying. She's seen some of the uglier sides of life and she's accepted it, but she also knows that there's more to life than just her own wants and her own needs. She also doesn't suffer braggarts well - she's run into enough of those in her own training and fighting that she knows those who talk the loudest are usually covering up for something. Or just cruel. Either way, they need to be knocked down a peg.  +
Adelphie Harthall +	Adelphie's comrades-at-arms will tell tales of this woman lifting a spiked bludgeon high above her head and watching with ferocity as her enemies are driven before her. Such stories are bookended by narratives of a different flavor: a woman, thoughtful and confident enough to reassure a turned-around child in the marketplace. These parts are not kept separate as some war-hewn paladins need. They exist harmoniously in Adelphie as friends and righteous constants.  +
Ademar Napolitano +	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.  +
Adora Bell +	To the majority of people, Adora is gruff and off-putting. For the most part she is not interested in other people unless they're paying customers. She has little patience for stupidity and has no qualms about letting people know they've gotten on her nerves. She is unfriendly, foul-mouthed, and sarcastic, but she can be charming when the need calls for it. She just tries to make sure it never does. She is not interested in being your friend. She is interested in selling you a bookcase and becoming the best damn carpenter in Arx.  +
Adora Ulbran +	To the majority of people, Adora is gruff and off-putting. For the most part she is not interested in other people unless they're paying customers. She has little patience for stupidity and has no qualms about letting people know they've gotten on her nerves. She is unfriendly, foul-mouthed, and sarcastic, but she can be charming when the need calls for it. She just tries to make sure it never does. She is not interested in being your friend. She is interested in selling you a bookcase and becoming the best damn carpenter in Arx.  +
Adrian Beeler +	Adrian is a rather socially awkward young man. Relying mostly on situational humor, he often just avoids social interaction all together and stays by himself.  +
Adriana Fieldstone +	Bubbly and cheerful, gregarious and kind - she's the 'waitress' sort of girl who always dips by the table with an honest smile and a willingness to help. She hates conflict and will readily take blame for things she wasn't responsible for. Her goal is to see everyone happy, but personally she wants to someday own her own tavern- a place with music, and bread baked fresh that morning, and jams, and fresh milk and cheese. And maybe ale or beer. None of that fancy glass bottled stuff. Just good simple country charm.  +
Adriel Glynn +	Though Adriel is inclined to hold himself at a social remove, his earnest decency blossoms past his guard. Candor is a lure for him. Little is more attractive than the outspoken, though he generally tries to keep himself more bottled up. Honor is his ideal, and order is his watchword. These in conjunction can lead him to an approach to life that is overcautious, even overthinking. He is a planner, a thinker, and sometimes the ‘doing’ can pass him by, and he can find himself left behind, watching what should have been his life drifting by past him. The romantic dreamer buried deep behind those pale, clear eyes might only rarely see the light of day, but he’s surely there, living on unspent hopes.  +
Adrienne Pravus +	Princess Adrienne is kind. Some wear the mantle of kindness as a sort of social responsibility; others as a cynical necessity. She cares - and persists in caring no matter how much her life has tried to break her of this. To those in her company she brings a compassionate ear to console and warm wit to cheer. Despite this, Adrienne has many fond acquaintances yet few close friends. Devout, dutiful, and steadfast - at times to a fault - Adrienne works hard at whatever she is set to do. She has studied music under masters in gilded, high-vaulted chambers. She has tilled fields when winter illness has left a village too shorthanded to do so for the spring. The trappings of royalty are a blessing; she would use her influence to repay the world a thousand times over for this gift.  +
Adrienne Valardin +	Princess Adrienne is kind. Some wear the mantle of kindness as a sort of social responsibility; others as a cynical necessity. She cares - and persists in caring no matter how much her life has tried to break her of this. To those in her company she brings a compassionate ear to console and warm wit to cheer. Despite this, Adrienne has many fond acquaintances yet few close friends. Devout, dutiful, and steadfast - at times to a fault - Adrienne works hard at whatever she is set to do. She has studied music under masters in gilded, high-vaulted chambers. She has tilled fields when winter illness has left a village too shorthanded to do so for the spring. The trappings of royalty are a blessing; she would use her influence to repay the world a thousand times over for this gift.  +
Aeden Grayhope +	Intensely curious, Aeden's sense of boundaries can be overshadowed by his excitement at the prospect of learning something new. It is almost always an eagerness born of innocent inquiry, but the comfort of those subjected to it cannot always be said to feel the same. He is always trying to learn, which has him often approach people with questions, making him affable, if not always welcomed. A colorful youth has left him a bit wisdom for his age, a sharp mind and wit keeping him from more perilous encounters initiated by his inquisitive tongue.  +
Aedin Blackwood +	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.  +
Aedric Blackshore +	Aedric takes great care to show empathy and respect to men and women from all walks of life, no matter their heritage or occupation. Curious by nature, he can often be found in markets inspecting books or foreign goods. Though often perceived as stern by enemies and clients, he frequently smiles and is usually the first to introduce himself when in the presence of strangers. Due to a semi-obsessive attitude toward record keeping, the sailor maintains a ledger on his person to record a wide variety of important dates, names, values, drawings, and observations. At sea, or when matters are of some personal significance, his countenance may be perceived as unflinching and austere.  +
Aela Velenosa +	Aela is quick-witted and perceptive, with a love for playfulness and fun. Generally friendly and easy-going, Aela likes to enjoy life and do things at her own pace, while being responsible of course. She is incredibly loyal to those close to her and will do anything in their defense. Although usually relaxed, she is intense when serious and can be ruthlessly cold to those who have wronged her. Aela adores music and will always hum, sing, and play instruments whenever she can.  +
Aelgar Navegant +	Intelligence and curiousity are often the things most people notice first about him. A more perceptive observer might note his common sense and consistently calm demeanor. He seems to act more from duty and considered thought than from emotion, although he is typically quick to laugh and to care. There is footloose streak to him as well, a restless need to search and learn.  +
Aelius Mercier +	Calm and relaxed, Aelius is a methodical person, usually taking bold decisions when faced with a challenge. Somewhat stubborn, he is very willful and disciplined.  +
Aella Ravenseye +	Aella embraces change but often struggles to adapt to it. She is a passionate woman whose stubborn pride can be a hurdle to overcome; however, that pride is well-earned. The countess is a fierce advocate for her people and is easy to upset with blatant (or perceived) slights against them. The less generous may call her volatile, but she is loyal to the end once someone has won her trust, is driven to accomplish goals and help others do the same, and has quite the talent for questionable limericks. If there is an opportunity to shed formality and laugh into the night with a drink in hand, a friendly challenge to accept, or an adventure to be had, she'll be there. She is more comfortable at sea or in nature, finding the city too rigid, and in the midst of a storm is when she appears the most calm.  +
Aerandir Elensar +	Though Aerandir may strike one as a gruff, jaded man upon first glance, those who work their way into his good graces - whether through time, effort or simply by nature of being likeable - will quickly notice that he is not without manners, nor joviality; jests, lopsided grins and laughter coming easily enough in the right company. His military bearing, however, is distinct and ever present, a habit yet to die by the looks of it: as evidenced by Aerandir's shift in personality in the presence of gentry, a respectful, almost meek demeanour often taking over.  +
Aerwan Valardin +	For some it can be said that they might be a wolf in sheep's clothing. For Aerwan Valardin, the more appropriate turn of phrase may be a fox in dragon's scales. Oathlander values have been instilled in the man almost to the bone: stalwart discipline, courtesy and chivalry, a sometimes stark sense of right and wrong, and a reverence for the Pantheon, like an armor forged in the principles of his forebears. While many of his family wear these traits as heavy plate, Aerwan's ingots of ideals have been refined and hammered down into a flowing mantle of steelsilk, airy and relaxed in their donning like a comfortable cloak. Yet every so often his facets of individuality glint through to tint its shades: an inclination toward idealistic naivety, an almost youthful appreciation for mirth and mischief that is reined in tightly, and a keen inquisitiveness in much of the world around him that couldn't be entirely penned up if he tried.  +
Aerwyna Froic +	Aerwyna is an introvert but she does value friendship that is genuine. She is kind to a fault, helping how she can but attempts to do so within reason after being taken advantage of. She has goals but they are a work in progress given her age but ultimately she wants to be well-known for being a good seamstress and wishes to learn from the best and to be molded. She is family oriented, having come from a large family.  +
Aery Ashford +	Aery is generally friendly to people, whether she's known them for a long them or only just met them. A very outgoing personality and a very positive outlook towards the world, loves to socialize with people though she is known to lean towards shyness at times. Her emotions and what she thinks tends to be easily red from her face.  +
Aeryn Laurent +	Aeryn is as saccharine sweet as they come with an energy level best described as high voltage. Her personality rings of youth and innocence and naivety and rarely is there a moment when she is not bubbly and positive. There is no hint of darkness to her and not even those that know her well will ever say there's a shred of cruelty or malice within her. She is gentle, through and through.  +
Aethan Kennex +	Aethan is a man who lives always by a strict code of honor that he'd die before he broke, but he's also a man with demons. A moody, sometimes violent perfectionist who can only see his mistakes, he has a lot to feel guilty about, and a lot to regret. Like a good man of Thrax, he keeps all of these feelings bottled up, and the face he shows to the world is composed, with a noble bearing that inspires respect, if not love. He speaks with a scalpel, never wasting an extraneous word. On the very rare occasions when the darkness within him break through, Aethan can turn into a cruel and dangerous man... which leaves him with even more to repent, when the spell passes.  +
Agatha Redrain +	Some call Redrains Bears, and if they are bears, Agatha is the roar of their voice. Blunt, brash and powerfully alive, it's almost impossible to miss when Agatha enters any given room because she's just such a loud and vehement woman. It's not that she rejects the panoply of civilization -- indeed, she can enjoy a good show as much as the next fellow -- but she tends to become part of performances; an entire audience's worth of applause in one hearty woman, whole dialogues with exclamation points for every sentence, a laugh that could shake a mountain to its root. To get in Agatha's way is to simply be trampled, and the fact of the matter is, it's not entirely sure that she'd notice she'd done it. Sometimes the shortest distance between two points is a war, but honestly Agatha might even prefer it that way.  +
Agnarr +	Generally taciturn and seemingly devoid of a sense of humor, Agnarr keeps largely to himself, at least on the surface, pragmatically earning his coin through the profession of arms. He expresses a deep faith in the spirits and an unyielding nature: his appearance is apt, considering his temperament.  +
Agnarr Frost +	Generally taciturn and seemingly devoid of a sense of humor, Agnarr keeps largely to himself, at least on the surface, pragmatically earning his coin through the profession of arms. He expresses a deep faith in the spirits and an unyielding nature: his appearance is apt, considering his temperament.  +
Agostino Alonso +	An affable and self-effacing man, Agostino is a good listener if not perhaps the best confidante in general, given his reputation and chosen career. Though incredibly inquisitive, he is not easily distracted once he becomes focused on something, though he adapts easily to finding ways around obstacles that stand between him and what he seeks. In spite of the way many in the city might view him, he has a strong loyal streak, though few have ever gotten to know him well enough for that to show.  +
Agric Leary +	Meticulous and stoic to a fault, Agric is mostly a silent man with a deep love for the sciences of psychology, philosophy and law. So much so that getting him to speak with much energy about anything else is a rare occasion. In particular, Agric is not one that is quick to jump to emotional states like anger or sadness. At least, not without being certain he has the full picture of what might drive in that direction. This is certainly a man who is well guarded in everything he does. All of that guarded state of being, the stoic and almost cold way of handling others, when you get past it, there is so much more. Hints of some deeper desire, some obscure drive that he speaks very little of. Still, everything he does -is- with purpose. He applies that purpose even to the arts. Where many would expective free-flowing creativity, Agric is focused on creating the perfect form. He's learned all sorts of mediums and he's not satisfied until he's mastered them, and he's always, always searching for something new.  +
Ahmar Nightgold +	Ahmar is a quiet man, but not unkind. As a child he always felt he did not have much of a place in his family as everyone seemed so much more socially inclined and far more intelligent than he, so he often found himself turning inwards for solace when he felt overwhelmed. It wasn't that his family was unkind to him, by far the opposite, he has just always been rather introverted. Tending to get along with his animal companions more than people. Despite his introverted personality, he really does like meeting new people, he just becomes a bit nervous like he is worried he won't know what to say and will end up making a fool of himself, but those who he ends up calling friends, he becomes devoted to. There is nothing he wouldn't do for those that are nice to him. Especially his family.  +
Ahriman Grayson +	Towards his family Prince Ahriman was known as a loving father and husband. Among the extended family he was amiable but less open. And to those not in his close circle he could be seen as cold if not a bit distant. Now that he is returned from many trials and tribulations the man seems a little more cold and distant. Perhaps reuniting with his family will thaw him from his ordeal.  +
Ahrsen Damane +	Gruff and serious, Ahrsen does not take crap from anyone, noble and commoner alike. He is not overly friendly with anyone, strangers will betray you and friends are even more likely to do so. The big man is all about intimidation, size and speaking few words. This Laconic attitude serves him well, allowing him time to negotiate conversations and to avoid conflict. Despite his size and rough exterior, he is not rash or quick to anger.  +
Ahven Granger +	Bold to the point of brashness, Ahven's audacity is both the impetus that propels her through life, and her greatest hindrance. She wants to be a hero, and sometimes this desire puts her at odds with her duties...as well as how headstrong and proud she is. Once earned, her loyalty is fierce and fervent, but that doesn't mean she is immovable. For all her strong opinions, she readily admits when she is proven wrong, and changes her views accordingly.  +
Aibek Grayson +	Aibek is cocksure and carefree due to his age and station in life. He doesn't take most things too seriously, and uses humor to de-esculate a situation and as a defense mechanism in dire times. The young Grayson does know what his name means to people, and does take both family and duty quite seriously. Even if is prone to manipulating his siblings and elders with the puppy dog eyes from time to time.  +
Aiden Grayson +	Aiden is an extroverted introvert, to put it simply. There will be situations that he'll be a man of few words; words that when they come out, are laconic in fashion. It isn't that he hates people, rather, social situations can grow to be too complex and he loses interest or focus easily - or simply put, he finds them emotionally exhausting. People have far more subtle cues that he doesn't fully grasp, and in large crowds, this is entirely overwhelming for him. Certainly he will turn into a wallflower or simply leave when at his limit.  +
Aiden Rubino-zaffria +	Aiden is an extroverted introvert, to put it simply. There will be situations that he'll be a man of few words; words that when they come out, are laconic in fashion. It isn't that he hates people, rather, social situations can grow to be too complex and he loses interest or focus easily - or simply put, he finds them emotionally exhausting. People have far more subtle cues that he doesn't fully grasp, and in large crowds, this is entirely overwhelming for him. Certainly he will turn into a wallflower or simply leave when at his limit.  +
Ailith Ethere +	Ailith trusts the gods completely. She may not understand exactly why a young girl from an outside, almost unknown barony, and a commoner at that, is now the personal Seraph to the Crown and royal family in the palace, but she knows the Gods have a plan for her. It doesn't matter that she itches to go into the practice yard, it doesn't matter she doesn't know all the intricacies of court politics and etiquette. All that matters is that the gods use her voice to speak their will, and she submits to their guidance. She truly cares about the spiritual well being of those around her, as well as fighting against the forces of darkness that she knows are out there. As a woman, she's generally happy and finds the good in people when she can, but she is unrelenting when she discovers someone touched by darkness. There is no higher power than the gods, and all fall short in their sight.  +
Ailys Grayson +	If there were two words to describe the former princess, they are 'earnest' and 'patient'. Mature beyond her years from the start, she demonstrates remarkable temperance and composure at all times, cut only with the sweetness and joyfulness of one truly treasured by her family. Ailys has rarely lost her temper or even frowned, except perhaps while reading a medical text in poor lighting. She possesses an intense calm, and is sincere in all that she does. A pall was cast over the joy and light Ailys once exuded, however, since the Sack of Bastion. But both are still there, with new underpinnings of steeliness. Somehow, observers note, the former princess's temperament is nobler than ever before.  +
Aindre Grayson +	Aindre was raised to measure the success of his life in the strength of his accomplishments and so he shows no small amount of pride in that which he achieves, while admittedly shouldering heavily the disappointment of his failures. Those who know him well understand a fire burns in him not simply to meet the expectations of his family name but to exceed them in much the same way as his forebears exceeded all expectation placed upon them. He can wax fierce in competitions of both politics and swordplay, but carries a reputation for being as graceful in defeat as he is in victory. While capable of deeply serious expressions in his duties toward his family and the honor of their name, his experiences off the battlefield have also taught him when to relax his guard and celebrate.  +
Aine Halfshav +	Aine, raised by a Pravus, has all of the charm and wit of any true Southern lady. She can turn a phrase and give a mysterious smile. She is able to flirt and socialize, to be a diplomat when the time calls for it. There is something wilder burning at the core of her soul, however, that she's repressed for a long time.  +
Ainsley Grayson +	Genuine in all he does, it seems almost as if Ainsley cannot lie. In truth he simply prefers not to. Finding the pressure of being a political body from his family too much he tends to seek other paths while still doing the Grayson name proud. Politics, lying, and intrigue is far too much effort and work. He would rather throw himself into exhausting physical labor than have to remember what web has been weaved. He would rather be a protector than a rule. There is honor, he finds, in being the guard and the knight. Ainsley takes a straight forward approach to most things. His moods may be mecurial at times but they are all genuine and honest, to be otherwise is too much work.  +
Aisha Inverno +	Dutiful, whimsical, and temperamental; those are the three terms that, more often than not, describe Aisha. She almost perpetually lives in a state of distraction and her head seems to always be in the clouds. This causes her to act upon her whims quite often because she believes it will guild her to where she needs to be. She also takes her duties VERY seriously. She does not treat people above or below her station as equals, though, this divide is handled with a kindness that makes it hard to be too upset at how she behaves towards them. Commoners and nobles alike are treated according to their station. That is how it should be, in Aisha's opinion.This often seems at odds with her constantly having her head in the clouds. The contrasting sense of duty and her being lost in thought makes it hard to know what it is she is thinking.  +
Aislin Ashford +	Aislin seemingly forgets more than others ever notice, has seen more than others dream of. A dedicated explorer, Aislin is seemingly fearless, having braved the seas of the Morning Isles, faced certain death exploring the icy Northlands, and survived the intrigues of the Lyceum on various expeditions. She's voraciously curious, but not obnoxious - she'd rather discover answers on her own rather than ask questions outright, a trait that makes Aislin an intense conversationalist, to be sure.  +
Ajax Tyde +	Quick to laugh, and easy to make smile. Ajax usually can be seen cracking a joke or trying to lighten the spirits of the people around him. Ajax usually plays the part of a strange combat inclined jester when not on an assignment. While he's on an assignment he's polite and to the point with the clientele and seems to keep a positive public relationship towards others in his company. Starkly contrasting with the rare instances where he's provoked to rage. His personality taking an icy chill with barbed words that lead towards fists being thrown.  +
Akamos Cyrto'ani +	Akamos is boisterous, gregarious and with a strong streak of personal honour and the need to do right by people. He relishes the opportunity to either demonstrate anything that he may be good at or tell tales of his exploits, but may be guilty of embellishing some of his stories and feats more than a little bit as he seeks approval and recognition from others. That is why he is sometimes overly keen to impress people or help them out in exchange for thanks and he seeks official titles so that everyone knows just how accomplished he is. For as confident as the brash Cyrto'ani may seem, he is in fact deeply insecure as to how he is perceived.  +
Akio Nagamine +	It's not thtat Akio is a man without ambitions, but rather that he's a man with too many ambitions. He wants to do, see, find something new, and finding, doing, or seeing new things is getting harder and harder to do. So his malaise over this inimical problem appears as one without a desire to do anything at all. Nothing could be further from the trtuh. Around people, Akio is jovial and friendly. He enjoys the distracts from his own brain. In private he can be moody.  +
Aksel Nygard +	Aksel is the everyman, the common man. Polite, courteous and compassionate, he has simple wants and needs, and says as much. Not to say that he has a soldierly attitude and personality, he would consider himself more a warrior than a soldier. There's honor and pride in what he does, but also the fact that he's never asked, or wanted for that matter, anything else. Like a slumbering bear, he can be jolly and hearty with friends and merciless and rage-fueled with his enemies. The grand events and gallas of the nobility only effect as much as his personal involvement, which thinkfully, isn't much. Much more inclined to stand in the background and be another face in the crowd. He's never seeked out glory, rather he feels he's just doing his job as a soldier. There's a very aware understand of what he does, and what he does isn't always pleasant and maybe there's a vibe that he feels like if he could set the sword down, and pickup a tool instead, that he would. Grudges and rivalries isn't something he has much time for, nor is what he would call 'political nonsense' that he's usually witness to. No, this is a man who only wants a simple life, but realizes that'll probably not happen for years to come.  +
Alantir Valardin +	Reserved in unfamiliar social circles, but always polite and courteous. Charitable to the helpless and downtrodden and usually the first to speak, or draw a blade, in their defense. Brave and selfless in battle. Fiercely loyal to the Crown and its subjects, no matter their status or positions within. Close associates value his thoughtful advice and describe him as an experienced listener.  +
Alaric Grayson +	Turns out that having a soul trapped in a horrifying mindscape for years tends to mature someone that was callow and irresponsible. Remarkably, he doesn't seem very haunted by his experiences except in least guarded moments. He's still personable, friendly and warm, with an energy that few can match. There's still hints of the man that deeply wanted to be liked, but with his marriage to Symonesse he seems to have gained much more balance and confidence, and is comfortable with showing restraint and delegating from the top. Very slow to anger, he's learned the lessons of acting rashly or speaking without great care for his actions- rarely one to give offense, nor one to overlook what needs doing.  +
Alarie Harall +	Alarie is a witty woman, always with a mischivous smile and a hint of mischief in her eye. She is fun-loving and creative. Having an eye for business and a love for working with her hands, she enjoys her craft as a seamstress and seems to do well by it. She is a strong woman, having her own mindset despite being in a male-driven House. This at times gets her into minor trouble, but she knows how to play along and talk her way out of tricky situations.  +
Alarissa Thrax +	It seems that no matter what life throws her way, Alarissa's ambitions remain unshaken: she sees her confidence as a matter of Grayson Pride over mere vanity, and to settle as anything less than legendary would be to do her esteemed blood wrong. Quick to smile and slow to anger, she seems to put her cultured disposition to its best use in making people feel at-ease, though she's developed a bit of a dry wit and can even sound flippant at times. Above all, she seems to harbour a desire to make others know how good she is, even if to do so she must indulge in the occasional white lie or overt act of generosity.  +

Above all, she seems to harbour a desire to make others know how good she is, even if to do so she must indulge in the occasional white lie or overt act of generosity.  +
Alayne Frost +	Time, trial and fallout have turned Alayne into a creature of stygian pragmatism and disinhibition for the plight of others. A pattern of isolated, private behavior sticks to her every notion, and cynicism grips every word with which she speaks publicly, and openly. There's a sense of untapped pride, however, that seems to be the foundation behind her every word when speaking matters of medicine. She's a judgemental, cynical and flawed woman, hard to make friends and even harder at keeping them. She's quick to channel spite when witness to the mundane and more-so to those who profess expertise and come up short when time of action comes. There's a certain depth to her tone of voice, yet remains modulated in nature and silvery to the ear.  +
Alban Farshaw +	Take one part Devotee of Limerance and two parts Disciple of Gloria and mix well. Honor, chivalry, and fealty are the things that Alban Farshaw loves the most in life. He holds himself to a strict code of honor and conduct. He takes the laws of fealty as a noble very seriously, as he takes the idea of chivalry. Incredibly steady for a man so young he might come across as stoic to some. He seems to cast an aura of calm around himself through charisma alone. He's a staid and stalwart man.  +
Alberic Laveer +	Despite mysterious origins and a strong sense of duty, Alberic is only as complicated as it is required to bridge the gap between nobility and those under Naval Command. To those who would harm others he may appear to have saltwater in his veins, but to those who hold true to law and peace, there's always an open chair at his hearth.  +
Aldwin Aurum +	For most, providing counsel and perspective to potential enemies would make someone an enemy themselves, mistrusted and suspect beyond redemption. Aldwin escapes all that, perhaps simply by sheer longevity. Few people could be as devoted to the Realm as a single entity, even beyond the King himself, than the Archscholar of Vellichor. In his eyes, every living, breathing soul has as much right to learn, grow, and succeed as any other, so all that come to him are met with unfailing kindness, wisdom, and a perspective that would not otherwise be considered. He treats young nobles as if they were his own grandchildren, and older ones, well, pretty much the same way. He's not reluctant to call out folly, but does so in a way that edifies, rather than tears down the student he instructs. His only ambition seems the betterment of the Realm and those who walk through his doors.  +
Aldwulf Unknown +	Aldwulf likes to come across as having a roguish exterior. He is quick with his hands in pulling tricks, enjoys gambling, and wearing clothes that are well beyond his means. He is quick to drink, likes to appear witty, and has said on many different accounts that he simply wants to be famous and live a life of luxury without having to have some family title to go along with it to bring down all the fun by adding in responsibility. Under it all, Aldwulf has an appreciation for the academic side and is simply a lovable scoundrel. While not quite having a heart of gold, he does care about others and does not wish to do harm to others. In turn, he does really wish to feel loved, though he would never admit it even when put to the rack.  +
Alecstazi Halfshav +	Precise. That is a good word to sum up this Thraxian prince. Well mannered, courtly, every movement is thought through, practiced, polished, decorous. He can be charming in a sharp way, his wit dry and sometimes pointed. Not the kind to begrudge an apology if his barb is too sharp, there is, however, an unflinching expectation of station, of behavior and etiquette. When breached he can be frosty and disapproving, proving just how much of his charm is deliberate. To say he is a bit of a traditionalist is an understatement. He is Thrax through and through, to the core.  +

When breached he can be frosty and disapproving, proving just how much of his charm is deliberate. To say he is a bit of a traditionalist is an understatement. He is Thrax through and through, to the core.  +
Alecto Charon +	Beneath an elegant and handsome exterior lurks an academic with a bit of a cowardly streak. Wartime has taken its toll on Alecto's nerves, amplifying a once-abated squirreliness that plagued him in boyhood and now manifesting in frequent hand-wringing and fidgets. Entirely endearing if not sometimes downright comedic, his worrisome nature and the associated preparedness that comes along with it have lead to Alecto being a brilliant improvisor when problems actually do arise. As a result, he has routinely found himself promoted to positions he doesn't feel the least bit qualified for, even if the irrationality of some of his more imaginative concerns have given others reason to doubt his intuition in the past. Although Alecto's true motivations are generally kept private, it can be said that he values his relationships over his achievements, and when something threatens someone he cares about, he has been known to use all the means at his disposal to extinguish that threat.. barring putting himself in actual physical danger, of course! Hahaha! He is gentle and good when his environment allows, but he does recognize that these virtues aren't always compatible with solving certain problems, and he does fancy himself a problem solver.  +
Alejandro Rossetti +	A Lycene man of passion and fire, Alejandro puts his heart and soul into all he does. A perfectionist when it comes to his own abilities and actions rather than others, he can tend to obsess over himself in an effort to improve. This may come across as being full of himself or self-important but his intention is always to make himself better. To play his guitar with more skill. As one might expect of both a Lycene and a skilled guitarist he is a charming and suave man. Quick with a witty reply or a smooth remark. Though common, he has spent his life amongst the nobility of House Fidante and it shows in his refinement, grace, manners, and charisma.  +
Aleksei Morgan +	It's a wonder that Aleksei hasn't been throttled yet. Bright and gregarious, he can be the life of the party, but he has a remarkable habit of high-level obnoxiousness combined with a frequent inability to even know what he did to piss someone off. That said, he can be quite charming, and there's a draw to his energy. A natural thrill-seeker, he's certainly not a coward; he's just spent most of his life allergic to responsibility. While he likes to eschew his Oathlander roots and all of the stereotypes they involve, he has a core of morality and honesty that belies his protests.  +
Alessan Fidante +	Soft-spoken and always smiling, Alessan prefers to stay out of the center of attention as much as he can. Even when performing, he can look as if his mind has wandered off to another place, letting the music take him where it wishes to take him. And it's a good thing too, he'd much rather his music be the focus of another's attention than himself.  +
Alessandro Velenosa +	Alessandro has mastered elegance the way artists master their craft, and it shows in everything he does. He pursues knowledge for its own sake, an eclectic, thirsty mind with a keenly energetic spirit behind it, and always has a spare pair of reading glasses in his pocket so that he can take them out and clean them with a monogrammed silk handkerchief. His will is indomitable and contrarian. He is fiercely passionate about his work, and fiercely, intensely protective of his family. He also has a keen sense of the ridiculous, and a deep -- if buried -- ability to recognize his own paradoxes and make fun of himself. But privately, if you please. Dignity is key.  +
Alessia Mazetti +	Silk over steel. As tired as the trope may be, and Alessia admits that it is tired, it is nevertheless an appropriate descriptor. Rather than immediately meet opposition with brute force, she prefers to win both friends and enemies over with her charisma, subtle wit, and cultured Lycene refinement. That said, there comes a time when none of those things are the right tool to reach for...  +
Alessio Moretti +	Alessio is a calmly jovial and easy-going man with a deep passion for his work, his wife and his hobbies. He is quick to smile, if not outright laugh, and has a natural talent for making people feel comfortable in his presence. He is kind of heart and always ready to help those in need should he have the chance. Beneath the calm exterior there is a burning need to succeed, to become the best at his trade, a fire lighted within him by his father from a young age. He can seem hard to figure out at first, but people who earn his trust and respect will find in him a fiercely loyal friend and a stalwart ally.  +
Alexander Wyrmfang +	Alexander is often seen as dark and brooding. More often than not he wears a far off expression, considering some issue of philosophy or the tactics of a long forgotten battle. When focused on the moment, however, he is as sharp as the blade he carries at his side. He isn't one for small talk, and when he speaks he is intelligent and concise, often described as being wise beyond his years. His family and its honor are of the utmost importance to him, and he actively works to bring as much of it as he can not only to the family, but to himself.  +
Alexandre Redtyde +	Very much a Wyrmguard, Alexandre exhibits many of the virtues of Oathlands chivalry. Perhaps the strongest among them is the belief that every man, woman and child are worthy of kindness, generosity and dignity, no matter their station in life. It is displayed in his interactions with noble and commonfolk, as Lord and Knight of Solace, protecting travelers and Mercies upon the roads of the Compact. He has a special liking for the latter, sharing many of their ideals despite his more martial path. He takes the duty of protecting them and other practitioners of the healing arts very seriously, and few things anger him more than those who would do them harm. It is there a limit to his mercy and compassion might be found. All must make their choices, and while the occasional bad choice must be forgiven, especially if moved by good intentions, those who willingly choose a path of destruction and hate against their fellows must be stopped. It is fair to say Alexandre is an idealist, if a quiet one. He's not the type to seek the attention of others upon himself, and will usually seek to downplay or redirect admiration towards his person to another, uncomfortable when the subject of praise. Humble, selfless, the Knight of Mercy is a dreamer, one untouched by the horrors of the wars and battles he's waged. The light of hope burns bright within him, and shows no signs of dimming.  +

Alexandros Dawnbringer +	Alexandros, templar of Gloria, is convinced that unknowable forces in the world are trying to destroy him. From the beginning of his service to the faith, he was tormented by unfounded fears and nameless terrors that preyed upon his mind. For years, he was able to function more or less normally despite his growing paranoia. As time passed, genuine bouts of panic began to intrude upon his psyche. These bouts lasted longer and longer, paralyzing him for minutes, hours, sometimes even days. Every few years he puts a new name to these forces-- demons, shivs, the smiling shadows or some other identifiable target becomes the imagined source of his fears for a time. He does his best to prove the wrongs of these imagined enemies, and anyone who has even a passing resemblance to the target is persecuted until the next delusion grips him. Occasionally, one can get a glimpse of the kindhearted man he once was.  +
Alexio Donatti +	An opportunist in near every aspect of life, Alexio will likely try anything once if he thinks that it will help him, or those that he cares about, get ahead. He is a social creature, and thrives in such environments, as opposed to those where brawn is valued over wits. He enjoys the finer things in life, likely because growing up he did not have any of them. As such, he values that which he has and does not wish to see anything go to squander that he has earned or been given him.  +
Alexis Wyrmfang +	Alexis is generally hopeful by nature, with easy smiles and wide-eyed and bright appreciation for the world. She's idealistic to the point of naivete, aspiring to be the very best she can be, and to make her family and house proud in the process. She possesses a deep-set sense of honour and stakes her behaviour on the chivalric code of the Oathlands.  +
Alfio Donatti +	A people pleaser and a charmer like most Donatti. Alfio, often, finds himself getting involved in the business of others, and, generally, trying to find a way to help them while benefiting himself. He is, much like his siblings and kin, a determined, cunning, hardworking and ambitious man eager to prove his finesse and make himself known in the world.  +
Alheri Deepwood +	She cares. She really does. It's just that reality is disappointing. You talk to someone and there's a flaw in their plan and you're either complicit because you say nothing or a naysayer if you do. Someone's dress is beautiful but a stitch was dropped and that gemstone is just a fraction misaligned and you know they'll laugh at her if you say nothing. Far better to help out. Of course, people are never grateful. They'd rather be laughed at by a thousand behind their backs than told they were wrong to their face. So she takes the brunt of that. It's a heavy burden. And somewhere along the way she started to like it.  +
Alina Redreef +	Alina has the knowledge of a vast encyclopedia, and the social skills of the same. Law and gold are quite easy to the lady, but people? People are a puzzle. She struggles, quite visibly, to understand subtleties that virtually all others grasp. She does enjoy company... when company is willing to be found.  +
Alis Valardin +	When she first arrived in Arx, Alis had the fervent determination of the very young, seeing matters in clear cut moral absolutes and one who holds chivalric ideals above all else. And while the now older and more experienced woman that she's grown into still holds fast to chavalric ideas, honor, duty, and faith... time, battle, betrayal, and further loss have both tempered her expectations of others and made her even more determined to uphold Oathlands ideals as a good example. That she is over-protective of her family and those under her care is well known, as is the chill of her temper when she's truly risen to anger. But, otherwise, she handles her responsibilities with an even keel, a slightly wry humor, and an eye towards preserving the traditions of her home. If she is a even more somber now than she has been in years past, it is no doubt the weight of duty that she finds herself bearing.  +
Alise Farshaw +	A descendant of the youngest sibling in the family which was to hold Westrock Reach, Alise was given a lofty name, modeled on that of Alarice, but instead has grown up only distant cousins from those in the line of succession. This has given her a bit of prickliness about her heritage, making her proud but simultaneously uncertain of her own worth in some lights. She holds a grudge, and polishes it like some might steel. She is quick to laugh and cry, her emotions worn on her sleeve. With minor slights, she can be incredibly forgiving, but anything that reflects poorly on her personal sense of honor is unforgivable. She has a good sense of humor, but dislikes "mean" jokes. She is devoutly faithful, and has a tendency toward charity, when it doesn't infringe on trade.  +
Alistair +	Alistair possesses the solemn bearing of a man who refuses to have his path dictated by fickle passions, however deeply felt. His quiet, stern intensity holds little room for joy or despair, having given himself to a fervently pricinpled pursuit of justice to banish the ghosts of his past. The Prodigal has seen the true face of darkness as only one who has lived among the Abandoned could, and it has made him determined to the point of quiet fanaticism. His control over his emotions is beyond masterful. His position in the inquisition causes him face terrible situations, and he is painfully aware that all but a handful of his fellows care little for justice, forcing him to pragmatically attempt to do the best he can with a terribly flawed situation. He can show compassion, when it is right in the sight of the gods, and will do so despite orders if necessary? and especially then. His faith is less an evangelical calling, and more simply so pervasive in his life and mind, that he doesn't need to preach. Every word and deed is a prayer, an offering to the gods that have brought him to Arx, and he squanders neither on proselytizing.  +
Alistair Crown +	Alistair possesses the solemn bearing of a man who refuses to have his path dictated by fickle passions, however deeply felt. His quiet, stern intensity holds little room for joy or despair, having given himself to a fervently pricinpled pursuit of justice to banish the ghosts of his past. The Prodigal has seen the true face of darkness as only one who has lived among the Abandoned could, and it has made him determined to the point of quiet fanaticism.

Alistair Masque +	Alistair possesses the solemn bearing of a man who refuses to have his path dictated by fickle passions, however deeply felt. His quiet, stern intensity holds little room for joy or despair, having given himself to a fervently pricinpled pursuit of justice to banish the ghosts of his past. The Prodigal has seen the true face of darkness as only one who has lived among the Abandoned could, and it has made him determined to the point of quiet fanaticism.

Every word and deed is a prayer, an offering to the gods that have brought him to Arx, and he squanders neither on proselytizing.  +
Allegra Pravus +	Allegra wears her sarcasm and wit like a veil of misdirection, the young woman's love for words and books expertly weaved into sharp cynism that is all the rage in the courts of Setara. The youngest Pravosi has no patience for arrogant fools, but may have a certain weakspot for good-hearted ones, her mercy towards broken things and underdogs derived almost entirely from her father's teachings and an ability to see herself in them. The Pravosi carries herself with the ease of a Setarcan courtier and is renowned for her love for wine, her talent for butchering her rivals with her sharp words, and her kind and gentle demeanor to those less fortunate than her.  +
Alrec Magaldi +	A self-confessed hedonist Alrec is not shy about what he wants from the world, and that is all the pleasures it can possibly provide. He tackles life with an exuberance that makes others shy away and has never backed down from a challenge or new experience in his life. But beneath the enthusiasm is a spine of iron, a discipline warrior who's faced death a dozen times and know he'll face it a dozen more. But that veteran warrior is only brought out for exactly as long as it takes to deal with enough business to go back to life's pleasures.  +
Alrigo Donatti +	A honey-tongued cousin of the social Donatti brothers, Alexio and Andreas, Alrigo has an independent streak in comparison to the rest of the family. He knew when he arrived in Arx, and after making his first casket of silver, that he needed more. With the family's earnings taking a hit from the distant branch of the family, this left with Alrigo the mark of doing what he needed to in order to bring in casket-after-casket of silver to develop him into being a driven entrepreneur. He is quick to laugh, pearl-white teeth often on show as he talks his way out of problems. Being around Arx and the dockyard, he has begun to play the game of politics and learning whose hand needs to be shaken to get that shipment in. There is that swagger, that smile, that makes avoiding him near impossible when he sets himself to it. Later in life, after setting himself up in Arx from Ischia, Alrigo began expanding his clothing line. Learning the craft while in Arx, since dock work pays so little, ahead of the rest of the Donatti family to set-up shop. For Alrigo, that drive and need to be a success, there will be nothing to stop that business growing. For the Donatti name to be worn by every respectable man in the Compact. For DIE to be the success it needs to be to elevate their reputation.  +
Althea Pravus +	Kind, gregarious, and remarkably apolitical for a Pravus, Althea has happily taken a backseat to her family's machinations to instead find time for charity and philanthropy. She's the kind of person who rereads the same sappy love stories and never tires of them because they never lose their hold on her.  +
Amador Rafael +	Discerning and reserved, Amador is a whisper on the periphery of social gatherings. Happy to leave the limelight to those who crave it, it is more likely to find the steward tending to the more monotonous tasks of the social sphere and assuring the comfort of all those with whom he is party to. Not an incredibly expressive man, Amador is most often neutral featured though those with an attentive nature could easily note the constant flicker of his gaze between conversation speakers and the subtle line that creases his manicured brows alluding to a man of deep thought and preparation.  +
Amalthea +	What little is known about this star-stricken teenager doesn't quite explain who she truly is, often avoiding crowds or commune. She is introverted, to say the least, quiet and dedicated entirely to the unbiased truth. Corruption shows no wear on her, neither does criminal activity being too anxious of consequence for danger. In short, she's shy but there's a certain silence beneath the murkiness of her shadowy oceanic eyes. Her voice is always soft spoken, a sheepish tone and slight stutter whenever a person gets too close or asks too much.  +
Amalthea Crown +	What little is known about this star-stricken teenager doesn't quite explain who she truly is, often avoiding crowds or commune. She is introverted, to say the least, quiet and dedicated entirely to the unbiased truth. Corruption shows no wear on her, neither does criminal activity being too anxious of consequence for danger. In short, she's shy but there's a certain silence beneath the murkiness of her shadowy oceanic eyes. Her voice is always soft spoken, a sheepish tone and slight stutter whenever a person gets too close or asks too much.  +
Amanda Morgan +	Generous but not necessarily kind. Loving but not precisely warm. Amanda is an oddity. Often, she smiles and laughs and shows open affection, but just as often she's cool and distant. The latter speaks more to her actual persona. As a child, Amanda was quiet and withdrawn. She'd often interact with others only when it was necessary, or she had some great desire. She was more often reading or drawing or "playing" with her dolls (which included making them wait in line and scolding them for their rude behavior and impiety). But as an adult, she learned the value in socialization and how a display of empathy can be much more effective than an explanation of cold logic. It does not mean she's any less cold and logical at her core, nor does it make her caring smile fake. She simply offers to a situation what she believes is needed. After all, what's the harm of in putting on a bit of a show if it helps push someone toward acting properly and piously? Of course, those that know her closest will surely see that, outside of a necessary situation the woman is nothing if not impassive.  +
Amanita Malvici +	At first glance, Amanita is sometimes curt and clipped. Smiles are rare, laughter even rarer. Her manners are impeccable, though she doesn't mince words; she knows the art of tact but remains somehow straightforward when conversing. Taking a further look at Amanita, one will see exactly why she's a courtier; she studies people to their core and finds them out as best she can, seeking to offer advice and friendship when she can. She shares parts of herself with those who won't easily stray, as fierce loyalty is embedded in her. Those lucky enough to see Amanita open up like a blooming flower will be wowed by her passionate charm and grace - and perhaps even get to see a smile.  +
Amantha Harrow +	Amantha's got a strong sense of duty and honor, a heart the size of the moon for the weak and downtrodden, and she approaches the world with the fierce determinism that seems to be a hallmark of the Harrow women. She knows how to cut loose, enjoy a strong drink, and in some circles is known for her singing voice. But don't cross those who matter to her, she's a ferocious protector for those she cares for.  +
Amanthir Hale +	Eccentric until circumstances dictate otherwise, the man can often be heard singing and whistling as he wanders the roads and woods surrounding Acorn Hill. Fiercely loyal to the farmers and merchants who have made Oakhaven their home. Always prepared to lend aid to those in need. Known for having an appetite for fine foods, hard liquors, and cheap women. Superstitious and knowledgeable of regional myths and legends.  +
Amaranth Pravus +	They say that curiosity killed the cat, but Amaranth fancies herself a nimbler creature. She has a bad habit of sticking her nose into places she shouldn't. The stories are often worth the pain, so she finds herself coming back, time and time again. In addition to being a part-time adventurer, she has a fascination with animal husbandry, and made a hobby out of delivering exotic creatures to nobles and wealthy commoners. Spoiled rotten, she often expects to get her way.  +
Amarantha Sanna +	Where her sister is well mannered, Amarantha is wild. She delights in playing the games of court and intrigue, with an ear for gossip and an eye for trouble. The Lycene-born girl lives to turn heads. To be provocative. To tempt. All of it is an art and Amarantha pursues that art with the same passion that she pursues her singing. Spoiled and often accused of being apathetic, the southern Lady is rarely seen doing anything productive. Instead choosing to spend her time writing songs, dancing, or studying some obscure subject. Often, lounging around a pool or sitting room in the process. Her laziness is coupled with a morbid, dark sense of humor that makes her almost a reflection of her dutiful twin.  +
Amari Keaton +	Figuring out Amari Keaton was something of a local pastime in Oakhaven. The vagaries of her personality from day to day were legend; sometimes sweet, sometimes cruel, always sharp witted, smart and observant. Intensity was her companion from a young age, and she is prone to bouts of it still when something manages to draw the fullness of her focus. There is an air of mystery that swirls around her, one never quite knows what to expect and she is often approaching things from oblique angles.  +
Amari Redire +	Figuring out Amari Keaton was something of a local pastime in Oakhaven. The vagaries of her personality from day to day were legend; sometimes sweet, sometimes cruel, always sharp witted, smart and observant. Intensity was her companion from a young age, and she is prone to bouts of it still when something manages to draw the fullness of her focus. There is an air of mystery that swirls around her, one never quite knows what to expect and she is often approaching things from oblique angles.  +
Amber Mondegreen +	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.  +
Amelia Eventide +	A free-spirited and passionate individual, Amelia can just as easily be seen in the setting of a Velenosan banquet as a Lower Boroughs tavern. Those that know her better might spot a certain cold calculation behind her amber eyes, and learn she can occasionally act ruthlessly towards those beneath her command. Ultimately, she thrives in a leadership role, and lives to achieve her ambitions.  +
Amelie Steelhart +	Growing up the youngest daughter in the Ducal line, she grew up knowing that she did not really need to be concerned with learning the ins and outs of being a Countess. As a result of this she was always able to do and learn about the things she was passionate about. Which wasmostly history, and exploring. She also grew up and became a rather conservative personality. Given her orthodox beliefs and hyper-focus on her interests, she can often come off as rather aloof, which often results in her feeling the need to be overly kind when she gets the chance, as she is rather self-conscious and often worried that everyone thinks she is mean and cold.  +
Amelie Wyvernheart +	Growing up the youngest daughter in the Ducal line, she grew up knowing that she did not really need to be concerned with learning the ins and outs of being a Countess.

Amerigo Pravus +	It can be hard to peg Amerigo's personality. He has charm, swagger, the look of a Steward who in another life could have gone on to be a pirate. He is smart as a whip, and will engage in wordplay and banter at the drop of a hat. He will take the side of an argument opposite the other person simply to have the argument and learn how they think. But, behind all that, behind the sarcasm and biting remarks is a man loyal to his family and commited to doing what is in the best interest of the House and its members. Just understand that if he's asked to do something, it is highly likely he will tell you no, even send a messenger back with a long winded response as to why he won't do it...only for the requested item or happening to show up moments later because he was working on it the whole time.  +
Amieli Igniseri +	Amieli devotes herself to things quickly and readily, fully anticipating their ending because she understands time and place are fickle confidants. Through time and trial she has learned to be cheerful and polite, in an impersonal, build bridges and expect to forget them kind of way. There is a clear distinction between the optimism and soft-spoken supportiveness she offers others and the effort invested into the capacity to provide them, but in her genuineness she is ruthless: Amieli will twist the truth, charm, manipulate like any proper Lycene, but always with a single-minded intensity; rarely if ever are her motives multilayered or complicated.  +
Amir Melaeris +	Confident but not arrogant, Amir carries himself like the nobility he is. There is a calm self-assuredness to his words, as if he's certain of every sentence he speaks and the ideals that he strives for. Pride is a word for it. Stubborness is another. The lord refuses to bend or cave when it comes to defending what he considers to be just or honorable. That's not to say he doesn't know how to be convincing or charming in his arguments, just that he doesn't see a point to brushing things under the rug. His wanderlust and love for freedom have at times put him at odds with his own ideals and to this day, Amir struggles to balance the two. Duty can be a heavy burden to bear.  +
Amorria Arterius +	She would much rather be sitting away from the center of a crowd in most situations, preferring to simply observe other's interactions. Hopelessly curious, she can't help but openly follow most conversations within earshot, no matter what the subject is. Borderline temperamental, her emotional path can switch rather quickly once triggered to do so, and there may be little indication when that mood-swing may happen. Often, she has a hard time relating to some people, her social skills not being completely developed and her imagination carrying more weight than what her eyes see plainly.  +
Amund +	A survivor through and through, Amund is a man of few words. His demeanor is cool and impersonal, and things such as 'honor' and 'glory' are contingent on whether he gets to live another day or not. He's the quintessential sellsword: if he is to do things for the good of all mankind, it better be worth the pay. Then again, he has that thrillseeker's edge to his personality, one that is balanced by an attempt at strategic foreplanning in all things he does, along with a marked hesitation to accept honors over wealth.  +
Amund Frost +	A survivor through and through, Amund is a man of few words. His demeanor is cool and impersonal, and things such as 'honor' and 'glory' are contingent on whether he gets to live another day or not. He's the quintessential sellsword: if he is to do things for the good of all mankind, it better be worth the pay. Then again, he has that thrillseeker's edge to his personality, one that is balanced by an attempt at strategic foreplanning in all things he does, along with a marked hesitation to accept honors over wealth.  +
Amund Honor +	A survivor through and through, Amund is a man of few words. His demeanor is cool and impersonal, and things such as 'honor' and 'glory' are contingent on whether he gets to live another day or not. He's the quintessential sellsword: if he is to do things for the good of all mankind, it better be worth the pay. Then again, he has that thrillseeker's edge to his personality, one that is balanced by an attempt at strategic foreplanning in all things he does, along with a marked hesitation to accept honors over wealth.  +
Amund Masque +	A survivor through and through, Amund is a man of few words. His demeanor is cool and impersonal, and things such as 'honor' and 'glory' are contingent on whether he gets to live another day or not. He's the quintessential sellsword: if he is to do things for the good of all mankind, it better be worth the pay. Then again, he has that thrillseeker's edge to his personality, one that is balanced by an attempt at strategic foreplanning in all things he does, along with a marked hesitation to accept honors over wealth.  +
Amund Monrosa +	A survivor through and through, Amund is a man of few words. His demeanor is cool and impersonal, and things such as 'honor' and 'glory' are contingent on whether he gets to live another day or not. He's the quintessential sellsword: if he is to do things for the good of all mankind, it better be worth the pay. Then again, he has that thrillseeker's edge to his personality, one that is balanced by an attempt at strategic foreplanning in all things he does, along with a marked hesitation to accept honors over wealth.  +
Anabelle Lyonesse +	Anabelle is a chipper, bubbly, and altogether exuberant person. Easy to like, easy to smile. Nothing excites her more than encountering new people, places, and things! She enjoys people and they tend to enjoy her in return. A gossip at heart, she loves the opportunity to pick up the latest news and rumors of the social circles of the world. Despite all of her energy and enthusiasm, she still knows the necessary times to be serious. Which instills in her the ability to be a valuable friend and confidant. Lyonesse's Luck? Fictional, at best! Bad luck and misfortune can't overcome the force of positivity and good cheer! Until it does.  +
Anastajia Mercy +	Aiming to please and bring smiles to everyone she meets, Anastajia is a whimsical dancer in possession of a pure and sincere heart. Dreaming big, she hopes her existence can help to make the world a better place. She is always willing to listen to peoples struggles, and is she can, fill them with the warmth they need. Don't be fooled by her playful demeanor, however, as she is more clever than meets the eyes. If you believe she is easy to double cross, think again. Betray her one too many times and she will develop a grudge that will last life times.  +
Anders Nightcove +	Stern, commanding. Anders is not known for his warmth or laughter. He has a strict dedication to his family and to the traditions that he believes have made the Mourning Isles great all of these years. He's willing to live and die by his ideals. The man has little interest in debate and would rather make his stances known through actions than pointless circular arguments.  +
Andreas Donatti +	Although at first glance he may come off as a bit serious and intimidating. Andreas does not lack in the charming and clever departments. There is something about that collected attitude, clever use of words, and deep southern accent alluring enough to draw the right people, at the right time, in the most convenient of ways. What a lucky fellow, some say!  +
Andrel Monteaux +	Andrel is a very gregarious sort of man. With a bright smile on his face, Andrel confidently strides about with a demeanor that borders on arrogance. This does little to detract from his social, if perhaps boisterous attitude, however. Ever the optimist, Andrel finds himself home in a crowd where the attention is focused on him-- manifested through an often loud, energetic voice.  +
Andrina Thornburn +	A touch on the pampered side for a commoner. Andrina is idealistic and naive. The harshness of reality rarely touches her. With a daydreamer's soul she's often caught up in fantasy involving epic battles and large than life heroes. This is not to say she isn't savvy, she just isn't as pragmatic as she might otherwise be if she had lived a less sheltered life. She sees the good in everyone and likes most people.  +
Andromeda Leporidae +	Andromeda is a regal woman who knows what she wants in life and there is little that will change her mind once she is decided on anything, although she is not unreasonable and is always willing to adapt. The Sword of Tremorus is fierce when on the field of battle or dealing with those she feels are lesser than herself. She does possess a sense of humor, of course, but it's very dry and sarcasm is her weapon of choice during social engagements. Among warriors, sailors, and brash types she is charming and inspiring in a way that is hard to put a finger on for most everyone else. Despite her years of experience on the field of battle, she has maintained her honor, dignity, respect and compassion for people who do so love one of their greatest Heroes. True bloodshed is not something she reaches for so easily even though she -does- enjoy a bit of violence from time to time to keep her wits about her. Within reason, of course.  +
Andry Bayweather +	Andry is a survivor first and foremost. While other Knights may look down on this attitude, being more self sacrificing and 'noble' Andry hasn't lived as long as he has that way. He's done it by making the right choices to put him and those closest to him first. Yes there's ideals, there's the Gods who obviously come first, but there's always a way to make sure there is still a way to advance. Andry is always planning. There's always an angle, he casts wide nets to get involved with a great many projects, giving favors reaps favors, after all. Andry tries to keep up good relations with everyone he meets, you never know when they might be useful. He's a careful meticulous planner who makes sure to have his fingers in as many pies as possible and his sharp eye and wit to help out those in need. He is deeply pragmatic, and while his true loyalties only belong to a select few, he views them as an extension of himself. While he's a deep thinker, relying heavily on his mental skills, he is also given to bouts of passion and emotion which can sometimes be his greatest bane. Leaving him often perplexed at himself the night before, trying to figure out how to get out of this pickle. Andry also likes to use his keen mind for practical jokes. It is often a way to show those he cares for he has a deep love for them. Intricate, meticulous but ultimately harmless pranks being the tops.  +
Angelica Sanna +	Intense. Focused. She has her task and her duties and she does them to the best of her ability. Her joy is the satisfaction of a job done well. Confident, outwardly calm, it's hard to say what she'd be like if she lost control. As it is, she's as placid as a deep lake, grounded and at times unfathomable.  +
Angelo DiFidante +	The uncharitable might call Angelo lazy, but it's not fair. He's far from lazy. Once he finds something that traps his interests, he can be deeply passionate about it: about words, word games, philosophy, human stories, and more recently about diplomacy. He can be intense on the subject of Tehom and the other gods. Those who don't 'get it' might call Angelo aloof, but he is not that either. There is a warmth behind his reserve, an alert interest that allows him to listen to others in a focused way for an extended period of time, so that he can share his wisdom to their needs. The aggressively Lycene may call Angelo prudish, but he merely prefers intimacy to wild abandon. He's just not interested in debauchery for its own sake. He can be very sensual and deeply, imaginatively romantic when someone has his interest. The hot-tempered might call Angelo cold, but he's not cold; he's merely controlled, composed, and rarely does he lose his temper over an imagined slight.  +

Anisha Whisper +	Anisha is a bright and curious thing, always eager to learn more about the people around her. Enjoying the finer things, she has a zest and passion for life that borders on (and frequently crosses into) the hedonistic. She can find enthusiasm for just about anything and tries to spread joy with her every word and action.  +
Ann Redrain +	For a supposedly stuffy old scholar, Ann is a remarkably devil-may-care Princess. For an older sibling, Ann has more often been the goad to temptation and the road less traveled. Any semblance to a bookish, authoritative woman is purely coincidental. But those are the two disparate sides to Ann Moriah Redrain, and they are as interchangeable as the sun and the rain, pulled out to suit the occasion or the mercurial nature of the woman herself.  +
Ann Rivenshari +	For a supposedly stuffy old scholar, Ann is a remarkably devil-may-care Princess. For an older sibling, Ann has more often been the goad to temptation and the road less traveled. Any semblance to a bookish, authoritative woman is purely coincidental. But those are the two disparate sides to Ann Moriah Redrain, and they are as interchangeable as the sun and the rain, pulled out to suit the occasion or the mercurial nature of the woman herself.  +
Ann crovane +	For a supposedly stuffy old scholar, Ann is a remarkably devil-may-care Princess. For an older sibling, Ann has more often been the goad to temptation and the road less traveled. Any semblance to a bookish, authoritative woman is purely coincidental. But those are the two disparate sides to Ann Moriah Redrain, and they are as interchangeable as the sun and the rain, pulled out to suit the occasion or the mercurial nature of the woman herself.  +
Annabella Grimhall +	Anna is a bit quiet, and would much rather not interact with people if given the opportunity. Though it's not to be rude, usually, though she can be a bit sassy if caught in a bad mood. She just gets flustered easily and doesn't consider herself too good at being social. If you get her going, though, she could pick your brain for hours about the latest discoveries in the medical world or what she's been reading about in her novels lately. She rarely looks people in the eye when she does speak to them.  +
Annika Navegant +	It would be easy to have become cold, or distant, living on Escuma and being mostly isolated from a lot of the Islands. But Annika was never geared towards that type of personality. She's warm, affectionate, caring to a fault in many ways, but also practical and willing to do make the hard choices when the time comes. She has always had a maternal streak, but don't let that fool you, she's not a push over.  +
Ansel Telmar +	Quiet. Diligent. Friendly. Brave. Ansel is used to hearing these words to describe him by individuals that barely know him at all, and it's a rare person that could claim to know him better than that. The young lord is a difficult man to get to know, but it's not as if he is unfriendly, really- the need for courtesy and amiable agreeability was drilled relentlessly into Ansel by his father, Duke Arn, even if the older man had no desire whatsoever to ever show those traits himself. Given a choice, the young man would be happiest alone and on his own, investing himself in studies and far away from other people and their games, but that possibility was denied to him as ever being an option. So he's the Sword of the Telmarch, striving hard to live up to the obligations of his name and position, even as he never has felt particularly drawn to it. What choice does he have?  +
Ansgar Blackram +	Pride has carried him far in life, what he may lack in other facets of life, Ansgar makes up for in his pride. Whether it is pride in his own achievements, pride in the history of his family or the pride of his fealty, Ansgar finds strength there. Despite his pride, he is not necessarily a man who is unable to bend and enjoy life, he can joke about his weaknesses and his mistakes. If he is reminded of the fact he's gotten to be more than just forgetful, he just smiles and plays it off as having known he was asking the same thing all over again. He may not recollect that he is well past his prime, and his own pride makes it hard for him to accept that despite being a big strong Blackram, he's getting older and slower in a fight.  +
Antea Mazetti +	Antea has spent many years and much training in crafting her public facade. Studious, serious, even severe could all be appellations attached to the young woman. She tends to be brief and to the point in her speech, and while she strives to be respectful and polite to all she meets, everyone has their limitations and Antea does not suffer fools lightly. And then there is the rare moment where one can actually see the young woman behind the mask, bright with curiosity and looking to experience a world long denied to her. It is the rare occurrence to see Antea let her hair down, but she will do so at seemingly random intervals.  +
Anton Kennex +	Possessing a rather imperturbable temperament, it was obvious at an early age that the genial and cool-headed Kennex would not make a very stellar combatant, especially given his languid mannerisms and seeming refusal to take anything to a violent course of action. Later, it became clear that he wasn't a pacifist so much as preferring to avoid unnecessary bloodshed, and devoted himself to the traditional noble studies, as well as a passion for fortifications and architecture in general, as well as how to find more efficiency in all systems. What he lacks in physicality, Anton makes up with intelligence and charm.  +
Antonia Amadeo +	Antonia is polite and even on occasion pleasant but may seem aloof, seemingly focused on representing her lady appropriately. She does not tend to fall into frivolities of her lifestyle but rather is focused on setting the example of decorum. Overall she seems aimable and unassuming. (This may change depending on the needs of Saorise)  +
Antonio Velenosa +	He might have been sent to Arx to play at Court, but Antonio's first love is still the sea - even after what he's lost there. He's not the sort to be defeated by a loss, though. Antonio is as resilient as water, and as tireless as the waves. He doesn't dwell on past failures, and he doesn't think about the possibility of more in the future. It's just not in his nature. He pairs a crass sailors' sense of humor with a nearly boundless well of positivity. In his mind, there's nothing he can't do. This is not to say he's chipper, or even one of those annoyingly cheerful sorts, he just doesn't give up. Not on his friends, not on his men, and not on himself.  +
Anwen Ravenseye +	Vivacious and as fierce as the sea, Anwen is known to most in the same breath as her first love: the ocean. She is quick to laugh and bright of personality, with an indomitable spirit and a thirst for adventure. She is tenacious and sometimes brash, but in quieter moments is capable of great softness and tenderness.  +
Anze Malvici +	Serious and jovial, warrior and jester. Trying to find a way to smile through everything can be hard, but Anze tries. He's a warrior first and foremost, a man of the blade who's no stranger to the harsh lands of the north but he tries to balance that with a lot of smiles and good natured living. When not wielding a blade it's best to not think about what that blade is used for, and so Anze doesn't, leaving that to those times he does have to pick up the blade. And then the smiles stop.  +
Anze Redrain +	Serious and jovial, warrior and jester. Trying to find a way to smile through everything can be hard, but Anze tries. He's a warrior first and foremost, a man of the blade who's no stranger to the harsh lands of the north but he tries to balance that with a lot of smiles and good natured living. When not wielding a blade it's best to not think about what that blade is used for, and so Anze doesn't, leaving that to those times he does have to pick up the blade. And then the smiles stop.  +
Aodhan Crovane +	Aodhan is generally a kind and gentle man, despite his often serious exterior. While normally he is loving and gentle, especially with children, he can become stern and stoic when the situation calls for it. Kind and virtuous yet ruthless and merciless, he is both and is so splendidly. He holds a deep love for his family and people, his loyalty to them unbreakable. He is often known to throw down whatever he is doing to help a friend in need, which can lead him into trouble. Above all else, family and friends reign supreme in his life.  +
Aonghus Seliki +	Friendly and open, any are welcome in Aonghus' domain - the forge and shop he takes great pride in having. He has taken well to Grayson's relaxed strictures on social proprieties, treating high- and low-born with equal regard. Even so, politeness goes a long way with him. Roll in to his shop rude and he'll show you the door, no matter how pampered your fanny. He often sings or hums while he's working and his voice is such that it doesn't send the dogs howling.  +
Apollis Malvici +	While Apollis flirts with nihilism and hedonism in full measure, his true beliefs are hidden beneath a sea of not giving a fuck. While his days of troublemaking are behind him, he's still no model of excellent behavior. He doesn't sit still and struggles with impulse control. Don't call him untrustworthy, though, for he's fiercely loyal to his family.  +
Apollo Malespero +	Years in Arx have rounded out his ineffable charm; it settles like a certainty about his kindness. He speaks easily and willingly with almost anyone, prizing connection and conversation. Though he has moments where his glib tongue still runs off with him, a cultivated discipline has made the appearance of trouble a rarity. That's the way he likes it, avoiding ill will and violence until the last extreme.  +
Apollo Oakwood +	There's an ineffable charm to Apollo that sees him through most confrontations that may or may not have started with the glibness of his tongue. His wits are relied upon almost exclusively in times of trouble and they serve him rather well. He might be slow to trust, but once he does, he's loyal to the bone, so while he may call few friend, those he does, may count on him til his last.  +
Appolonia Seraceni +	Appolonia's foundation is curiosity. Perhaps it is Pravus, perhaps it is simply some sort of horrible feline spiritual touch, but she has always had her mind turn towards the unseen, towards things uncharted and seas unsailed. This has drawn her largely into scholarly pursuits, where she can gratify this desire without too much work. This curiosity has extended to the nature of humanity. Why do people do what they do? What do people truly think? Are people truly bad or truly good? Is virtue inborn or made? These kinds of topics, as well as a mixture of the social graces and a certain amount of natural poise, have made Appolonia able to get along with just about anybody and leave a good impression for the length of a quarter of an hour. After this... well, that's about how long it takes for the strangeness of her interests to show themselves. Even then, though, she is rarely without poise.  +
Arcadia Leary +	It's not that Arcadia isn't smart, exactly. She likes learning new things just fine; so long as they're new and exciting skills, rather than boring and useless facts. The list of things Cady would like to try includes but is not limited to: swordfighting, sailing, drinking too much, traveling to far away lands, meeting interesting people, exploring dangerous places, falling in love, falling out of love, and punching things. With a strong sense of adventure, and an eagerness to expand her horizons, Arcadia is up for anything. Bright and bubbly, she is willing to try anything once (or twice!) and delighted to meet new people from all different walks of life. She enjoys parties, as long as they aren't dull ones where everyone talks in low voices about the latest scientific study on weather patterns. Parties with drinking: good. Parties with dancing: better. Parties with masks AND drinking AND dancing: ideal. Finally in Arx, after years of dreaming of such freedom and opportunity, she is ready to meet any possibility with open arms. The world is her oyster! Speaking of which, is anyone available for oyster harvesting lessons?  +

Arcelia Navegant +	Arcelia is a young and very compassionate woman who speaks up when needed. She can be quiet and attentive at times but when she sets her mind to a task it is difficult to pull her back in. She is sweet, sometimes playing the coy noble, sometimes the wise young girl, and other times falling to the naivete of her youth. But she is almost always sincere, not being a fan of deception and manipulation except during times when there is no other option. She wears her heart on her sleeve and is unafraid to tell others how she feels and what she thinks. Arcelia is full of passion and drive, often pursuing what she wants without pause. She is a playful woman with the young heart of a woman who just wants to have fun and watch other people having fun with her. She enjoys climbing trees, throwing mud, and catching people off guard by how creative and fun-loving she can be.  +

Archene Clearwater +	To those he is close, Archene is trusting, caring and open. To those who aren't, he can even seem to be trusting, caring and open, but he doubtlessly would do nothing for them if it didn't benefit him.  +
Archeron Tyde +	Archeron a creature of wood and earth, he is most comfortable in the natural world and in the urban world there is always a sense of 'on guard' about him. He is not so much quiet as he doesn't feel compelled to speak unless he has something to say, and when he does so he does it concisely, respectfully, and without any bravado. He is steady and reliable, perhaps even predictable, seeming to the lack the sort mercurial reactivity his Thraxian peers are so well known for.  +
Archibald Kitt +	Generally embittered by life, Archibald considered none his friend. Too much has been taken from him already.  +
Ardee de Lire +	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.  +
Ardoin Valardin +	Ardoin is one of those annoyingly optimistic folks, even in the face of the odds stacked against him. Impeccably pious, his veneration of the Pantheon is only matched by his strongly held convictions of right and wrong, honor and fidelity. That, combined with his steadfast belief in chivalry, scholarly pursuits and very serious belief in the Valardin knight being the sword and shield for the commoner has led to some friction within the family - which he happily ignores, remaining as genial and approachable as ever. Still, the idea that the commoners should be granted more land and economic opportunities while being steadfastly supported by a stronger hand of the nobility has made him less than popular in the minor branch of the Valardin family to which he belongs.  +
Argos Seraceni +	Argos is fairly kind to most people and even tries to advise those that cause trouble in his sight. Known to even lecture criminals from time to time as well. He is no fool and knows that in war sometimes hard choices need to be made and men like him have to carry out their orders no matter their personal feelings of it.  +
Ari Corsetina +	Ari Corsetina is as much a man of brooding silences as he is raucous laughter. Well into his middle ages, he's a seasoned sailor; confident in his own abilities and typically of those around him. He's easy to smile, but just as quick to anger. He does favor the drink a little bit more than one probably should, however. And does tend to turn to melancholy...  +
Aria Gilden +	Aria is a bright personality who is nevertheless calm and levelheaded. She is kind without being giving more than she can afford and strict without being merciless. Her greatest flaw, perhaps, is that she tries to hard to be everything. Though she has a rarely seen temper it's left to be seen how strong her spirit will be when under fire. She also, some might say, takes her responsibilities far too seriously.  +
Arian Brand +	Cool of temperament, Arian is quick to smile, laugh or toss over a wink. The young man doesn't seem to have any issue getting along with most, brash and blunt with some, whilst calm and collected with others. However, upon closer inspection there's a storm of emotion roiling behind the twinkle of his cold gaze, lending to the idea that there's more to him than first meets the eye.  +
Arianna Fireviper +	Arianna used to be quite the troublemaker as a youth. She caused no small amount of headaches and disappointment for her Liege and inevitably earned a ticket to Reform school. All things must come to an end, even the childish ways of an upstart noble with a skewed sense of the world. Not a very nice place it seems for whatever she experienced there has made her a different person altogether. Where she was once brash and disrespectful she is now restrained and properly deferent. Her demeanor is a cultured one of self-respect and quiet wisdom. Even if she has managed to maintain her dark sense of humor it is easy to see that Lady Stonewood spent those long eighteen months underneath some of the greatest instructors in social charms and it shows.  +
Arianna Pravus +	Arianna used to be quite the troublemaker as a youth. She caused no small amount of headaches and disappointment for her Liege and inevitably earned a ticket to Reform school. All things must come to an end, even the childish ways of an upstart noble with a skewed sense of the world. Not a very nice place it seems for whatever she experienced there has made her a different person altogether. Where she was once brash and disrespectful she is now restrained and properly deferent. Her demeanor is a cultured one of self-respect and quiet wisdom. Even if she has managed to maintain her dark sense of humor it is easy to see that Lady Stonewood spent those long eighteen months underneath some of the greatest instructors in social charms and it shows.  +
Arianna Stonewood +	Arianna used to be quite the troublemaker as a youth. She caused no small amount of headaches and disappointment for her Liege and inevitably earned a ticket to Reform school. All things must come to an end, even the childish ways of an upstart noble with a skewed sense of the world. Not a very nice place it seems for whatever she experienced there has made her a different person altogether. Where she was once brash and disrespectful she is now restrained and properly deferent. Her demeanor is a cultured one of self-respect and quiet wisdom. Even if she has managed to maintain her dark sense of humor it is easy to see that Lady Stonewood spent those long eighteen months underneath some of the greatest instructors in social charms and it shows.  +
Arianwen Grayhope +	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.  +
Aric Keaton +	Aric is a very friendly and charming sort, especially if there are spirits being poured close by or in the company of women of ill, or decent, repute. Always a smile, always the one who keeps the drinks flowing, dressed in finely tailored clothing that suggest a healthy source of income but given his manners and disposition, it might not be the most acceptable source.  +
Ariel Darkwater +	Ariel is sweet, bubbly, and even quite charming as long as everything is going her way. However if it isn't she tends to become a little bit bratty, though she isn't one to hold a grudge unless you wrong her family or her dear friends.  +
Ariel Stonewood +	Ariel is sweet, bubbly, and even quite charming as long as everything is going her way. However if it isn't she tends to become a little bit bratty, though she isn't one to hold a grudge unless you wrong her family or her dear friends.  +
Ariella Igniseri +	Ariella is headstrong and hilarious, quick-witted and vocal, with a tremendous force of personality behind her ambitions. She is so much a free spirit that she finds the constraints and necessities for her role as a daughter of the nobility to be a tremendous hassle. While she can -- when forced -- put on a decent enough face for a few minutes in polite company, she'd always rather be sailing, dancing, drinking, throwing a punch, or otherwise having a good time as a wild young rapscallion. She is not a complete stranger to responsibility -- the men in her charge are close to her heart and though she struggles with structure she is no pirate to decry the bounds of honor and fealty. She'd just ... rather have fun about it.  +
Arielle Rivera +	Enthusiastic is the best way to describe Arielle Rivera's demeanor most days. She is a cheerful sort by nature and one who despises the very thought of giving up. Despite being vain and proud of her appearance she still tries to use those traits for something positive. Rather than simply critic others and boast about how nice she looks she focuses on trying to help others look nice. Her mentality is very much 'if I don't like something if going to try and fix it' she does occasionally gripe though, no one is perfect. But she makes a concentrated effort to stay productive and positive.  +
Arik Halfshav +	While perfectly capable of interacting with southern nobles in a manner that doesn't inspire unspoken dread, Arik doesn't often bother. A warrior through and through, his is a life ruled by the sword, and it shines through in his every action, whether it be his sharp wit, piercing gaze, or willingness to thrust himself into glorious battle. The broad side of the sword has its uses however, and in Arik this can be seen through his blunt honesty and sometimes narrow-minded disdain for things that don't fit into a worldview honed by ice and stone.  +
Arion Harrow +	Helpful, serene, and often quite curious about anything he deems interesting Arion takes his work seriously. He is an apothecary and one who enjoys experimenting with new ideas almost as he enjoys showing off the successful ideas he has had. While not a braggart he does possess a bit of pride and a touch of vanity. His friendly demeanor and soft appearance often make people underestimate him, not that he minds too much. His sharp mind and creative nature make him a somewhat formidable thinker, and this paired with his natural charm makes him into pleasant company for most.  +
Arman Velenosa +	Arman Velenosa is calm, cool, and collected. He tends to be eight chess moves ahead of nearly everyone he knows and is an oily kind of intelligent. He prefers quiet, studying a situation for a long while before speaking, acting, or otherwise making his involvement known. But Arman most definitely is involved. If there is intrigue, he is not far behind. He may offer smiles and pleasantries, but there is always something lurking under the surface of this man. He has a somewhat feared reputation - after all, one word from him could send other, lesser Lycene houses tumbling. Arman sees the world in grays -- he is neither a good man... nor a bad one. He does what needs to be done, the ends justify the means, and he is not afraid to do what needs to be done.  +
Armand Farshaw +	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.  +
Armani Gilden +	Armani is what many would call a wild child. She often throws caution to the wind and acts on what she thinks would be the best method, both for her own enjoyment and for her family. It might be a surprise that someone so impulsive, if not out of control, would take two things with the utmost seriousness: being on the seas and writing. She may border on being a pirate with her actions but she never fails to assure her crew and her ship are kept safe. Perhaps her love of reading and writing came from the long hours at sea for rarely does a time go by, when not being a captain, that she isn't writing something. She has a massive love for jewelry, it sparkles so prettily, and when she is /angry/ there is quite a proccess about removing it and she is often saying things along the lines of 'Hold my jewelry. I've lessons to teach.' It has coined her the title of 'Captain Gem'  +
Armel Godsworn +	Armel is a man of few words. Not because he cannot think of them, for behind his dark eyes, the gleam of intelligence is obvious, but because he simply finds adding more to be superfluous. He is a man of economy of action combined with occasional explosions of energy on the battlefield. As a Knight of Solace, he is not a foul man in temper, especially to those in need or those suffering, and is in fact, willing to give all up to the shirt upon his back in such cases. It is just that he has a very defined sense of morality from his years abroad, and sticks to his beliefs and his silence, for he finds comfort in them, as well as discomfort for his enemies.  +
Arn Telmar +	To call Arn a curmudgeon would be kind. He is gruff, mean and painfully blunt. Basically, he does not have time for your shit. All of this might make a person miss how unswervingly loyal he is to the High Lord of the Valardin. He never fit the image of the handsome heroic knight, so he has ever been the unrelenting asshole that his liege needs him to be. He is surprisingly deft and using his seemingly complete lack of social grace to put people on the defense and make them react in what are often predictable ways. He's also perfectly willing take the black eye, and the social disgrace to do the things his Prince can not. It's a persona he's crafted so meticulously over four decades that he doesn't remember being the more mild mannered youth he once was.  +
Arta Fatchforth +	Competitive person who loves racing and her animals. Busy and proud stablemaster of some renown and skill. Fairly optimistic and trusting person who wants to think the best of people and tries to live up to that belief. Fastidious if she is given the opportunity and particularly if it serves her interests and goals.  +
Arthen Dayne +	Insatiably curious. Unshakeably brave. Questionably moral. Dayne is a creature who divides opinion. People seem to either love him or hate him, and this is usually colored by whether or not he is on their side. He's a man who covers his doubts and fears with wit and sarcasm, often creates his own rules when the actual rules don't suit him, and never gives up even when the stakes get high enough to turn most back. The line between courage and foolishness is a fine one, but it's one he strives to straddle, and it's far from the only fine line he walks for the sake of his profession.  +
Arthur Russo +	Arthur is a good man, but not a grand one. He came from nothing and wants something, but he is not a greedy man. He is practical and knows the importance of wealth, however. Some nobles do not really understand the importance of their wealth, but Arthur grew up in the gutter, so he gets it. However, he does not want lavish riches or opulence. He would be happy to not have to scrape and scrap for each meal, and to have a comfortable bed, a woman to love, and to be able to do the craft he loves. Life, however, is never that simple, and he knows that. While he comes from a rough childhood, he has managed to keep a certain sense of hope and idealism through his worship of the Gods...specifically Jayus. He considers Jayus his patron, and many of his actions in life he views as being in service to him. He is loyal to those who earn his loyalty, and while he is not some hardcore warrior, he will shed blood to defend those he thinks require it. He is rough, but kind. Charitable, but practical. Skilled, but humble. Like any decent person, he is complicated.  +
Artorius Magnotta +	Artorius is a quiet and kind young man. He prefers to be active and attentive, that is until he is with his family. He is often found with a sword in his hand, taking his call to the life of a soldier very seriously. Despite his kind and loving nature, a trait he shares with his sister Caelis, he possesses a fiery temper when provoked. It takes a great deal to stoke the flames of his temper but once they ignite they are hard to douse. Above all else, he values loyalty to his family and remains very protective of his kin.  +
Artorius Malvici +	Artorius is a quiet and kind young man. He prefers to be active and attentive, that is until he is with his family. He is often found with a sword in his hand, taking his call to the life of a soldier very seriously. Despite his kind and loving nature, a trait he shares with his sister Caelis, he possesses a fiery temper when provoked. It takes a great deal to stoke the flames of his temper but once they ignite they are hard to douse. Above all else, he values loyalty to his family and remains very protective of his kin.  +
Artur Redrain +	Artur struggles with directed focus on many things in his life because there is so much to do and learn and be. Fancies tug at him like will-o-the-wisps, and he'll chase them with all the energy of an overgrown fleethound until the next one catches his attention and turns him after it. He can frequently get cheerfully lost down logic trains that make little sense outside his own head, and also, he's very bad at jokes, not because he doesn't enjoy humor but because he tends to "get" them about twenty minutes after everyone else in the room, sometimes with a loud "Oh!" and then a now-completely-inappropriate chortling laugh. Warm and friendly, frequently hyperactive almost to a point of manic in his energy, he can be contagious in his enthusiasms, and it's very easy to get caught up with him in his energy. Sometimes people go along with his ideas only -- once out of his company and no longer subject to the Arturian common sense jamming field -- to stare around and wonder what happened.  +
Arturo Grayhope +	Arturo is a man at odds with his occupation. He does whatever he can to scrape by -- and there is little he wouldn't do if his situation demanded it-- but he has little drive or ambition to further himself. He is demure and shy, and one can hardly get a word out of him, lest he has lute in his hand. Music is his muse and inspiration, his true love, second only to that of his most favored vice. Dust. He has an addictive personality, almost to the point of being eccentric. When something strikes his fancy, he will obssess over it to no end, only for his eye to be caught by something else a week or month later. Music and dust have been the only things to capture his attention for any length of time. Beneath the surface of his quirks and shady jobs lies a kind, smart man. He doesn't wish to hurt anyone, or take anything. But he will if that's what it takes to get the next bowl of dust.  +
Arya Gilden +	The warning to not judge a book by its cover was clearly not coined with regards to Arden. Often found laughing or otherwise engaged in similar delights, its rare that she attempts to act mysterious. Due to this, she is sometimes more trusting than most, assuming honesty from others as she displays herself. She has a passion for the unknown, especially in attempting to document it, yet her habit of following up on every rumour means shes not as prolific as she might otherwise be.  +
Asger Crovane +	Gregarious, and outgoing off the battlefield, Asger doesn't put much heed on the social niceties of high society, preferring simple courtesy when he can get away with it. Drawn to the randomness of chance, he is drawn to games of luck and the adrenaline that comes with gambling.  +
Asha Espina +	Known for a sharp tongue and a fiery temper, Asha has a love for grand gestures and theatrics that lends itself well to the life of a Champion. As much as she lives for the show, outside of it she is an easy going woman, sometimes described as lazy.  +
Asher Grayhope +	Optimistic Opportunist  +
Asher Morrlin +	Optimistic Opportunist  +
Ashkyr Elensar +	An ambitious and adaptable young man seeking to restore his lineage's name alongside his brother after playing a part in tarnishing the family name. Carrying himself confidently, he was rather amiable when approached despite his weathered exterior. Diligence was his watchword, his knightly vows taken rather seriously, and his sincerity and reliability knew few limits to those he'd considered a friend.  +
Ashlinn Speare +	Depending on when one meets her they may walk away from Ashlinn thinking she's a good natured girl with an easy smile and her heart on her sleeve while another may find her a stern, foul-tempered drill sergeant. And they would both be right. Ashlinn's personality is one of extremes. She loves the Compact, she loves its people, she loves her friends and she loves her city and more than anyone she loves her compatriots in the Silver Swords and the royal family, and that love shows constantly in warm smiles and a bright disposition. It also shows in the way she brooks absolutely no shit from anyone about any of it, that she's incredibly serious when it comes to protecting the things she loves and her lack of tolerance for slacking in any form, especially from anyone who may be in her charge. Woe to the silver squire who is caught napping when they should be sanding armor or brushing horses.  +
Ashlyn Velenosa +	She's laced with curiosity and mystery. Intrigued by the unknown and by nature. She is kind and open to those she meets, learning from others and offers insight in return. She is mysterious and always apt to hear the tales of others as she determines a way to work her way up through society. She is drawn to lore and secrets. Quiet and perhaps a bit strange and doesn't seem inclined to call herself better than others.  +
Ashlyn Velenosa/Reflection +	She’s laced with curiosity and mystery. Intrigued by the unknown and by nature. She is kind and open to those she meets, learning from others and offers insight in return. She is mysterious and always apt to hear the tales of others as she calculates a way to work her way up through society. She is drawn to lore and secrets. Quiet and perhaps a bit strange and doesn’t seem inclined to call herself better than others. She is kind by nature and ready to aid or defend those she cares about.  +
Ashur Sanna +	It's not that Ashur has no social graces. He simply doesn't have time for them. He worked on his impatience, truly he did. But it was hard sitting around and sipping alcohol when there was a world to uncover and understand. Determined. That was Ashur. Determined in all things; to tinker with a gadget, to find a new path, to seek a lost artifact. It was a madness, almost. A consuming thirst that would never be quenched so long as the lure of something new existed just beyond the horizon.  +
Aslaug Winge +	Aslaug does not share much of herself with many, even her words come rare and after some contemplation. Despite this she is just as likely to answer a straight forwards inquiry with monosyllabic 'fine' as she is some poetic non-sequester. Action on the other hand Aslaug is freer with, she is a tactile creature who touches people, smells them. She saviors tastes and sounds alike. Her eyes and expressions, when allowed out from under her floppy hat's brim, are often a curious blend of interest and patience. If her mystery is deliberate or accidental it is no less the case. The wanderer leaves many more questions in the world around her than answers and seems unbothered by as much. She does not seem gleeful or to delight in the puzzle she presents to the world, it simply is, as so many other confounding things are.  +
Asphodel Leary +	Asphodel Leary was a charming and happy child, the life of gatherings, and a fast friend. Her disfigurement has changed her, making of her presence an aloof, quiet and strange thing, prone to unwelcome observations and offputting metaphors. A young woman who was once an open book has become something of an enigma with a preference for solitude, the macabre and the hidden. Despite her trauma and seclusion she is capable of society, and those who tolerate her obliqueness may find a friend or a resilient ally offering uncommon perspective.  +
Asralyn Venac +	In her is incapsulated all the best and worst traits of a survivor. She is quick to her own defense, cynical to take up the defense of others. Secretive, even with nothing to hide, and prone to bouts of excessive joviality and deeper depressions. A life in service to coin at the tip of a spear has robbed the young woman of much and instilled in her a taste for mindless violence and a hunger for ill-defined freedoms. She is rabble, without origin or loyalty, and where the chaos of this lifestyle takes her is fine enough a destination.  +
Asriel Darkwater +	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.  +
Asterion Havmarke +	Asterion is a harsh man, and there is little effort made to blunt that fact. His speech is low, clear, and concise, evident indicators of his low tolerance for mirth or fancy. He's quick to offer corrections, always with the appropriate level of deference, though they are typically made only once. He carries an air of authority brought about by a quiet confidence and keen understanding of natural hierarchies. Above all, though, he is a man of convictions and unwavering loyalty, walking through life as though all the Gods are watching.  +
Astor Larrant +	Astor is a curious yet skeptical traveling apothecary and merchant who found his way into Arx somewhat recently after traveling through Arvum. As such, he is both weary and wary of travel. Though trained in the practice of an apothecary, he considers himself a 'student for life' of a relatively uncommon, yet intriguing trade.  +
Astraea Redrain +	Coquettish to a fault and debonair even when she shouldn't be. Astraea has impeccable manners and doesn't believe in rudeness of any kind, even upon the battlefield. Though some might describe her as pragmatic this chevalier is highly principled and carries herself with the moral fiber of someone who keeps themselves accountable for their own actions. While her moods tend to vary like her sister's she is most usually in high spirits, but never quite bubbly. Even suggesting such a thing is enough to earn a scoff and maybe a derisive chuckle or two. It's normally assumed that soldiers, knights and warriors of her caliber tend to be highly disciplined but this Lycene born princess is quite lazy. Never when it counts, but enough that if she can delegate or sidestep a minor responsibility she will. This attitude lends to her Tehom-may-care demeanor and compliments her sometimes too serious moments quite well. A woman of contrasts indeed.  +
Astraea Valardin +	Coquettish to a fault and debonair even when she shouldn't be. Astraea has impeccable manners and doesn't believe in rudeness of any kind, even upon the battlefield. Though some might describe her as pragmatic this chevalier is highly principled and carries herself with the moral fiber of someone who keeps themselves accountable for their own actions. While her moods tend to vary like her sister's she is most usually in high spirits, but never quite bubbly. Even suggesting such a thing is enough to earn a scoff and maybe a derisive chuckle or two.

Never when it counts, but enough that if she can delegate or sidestep a minor responsibility she will. This attitude lends to her Tehom-may-care demeanor and compliments her sometimes too serious moments quite well. A woman of contrasts indeed.  +
Astrid Ulbran +	Astrid is the kind the of person that sets her mind to a goal and doesn't stop until it's complete. The first example of this was her complete makeover from an Ulbran-raised orphan to a respectable member of the priesthood. She found mentors and teachers to help with her meteoric rise, polishing off the rough edges and cultivating a reputation as warm, inviting, and earnest in her dealings with the Faithful of Arx and beyond. Very few people aren't met with an inviting smile, and everyone is shown kindness.  +
Astyr Vanha +	Astyr has a great deal of respect for force magnifiers. It could be a lever to move a stone, an offer to move the markets, or a word to move a kingdom. She is keenly aware of how quickly circumstances can change, and how hard it can be to rebuild what was once destroyed. She has seen ruin and it has left her fiercely determined to build, to craft a wall of silver and secrets and with it shield her and hers.  +
Aswin Ulbran +	Aswin could be described by some as cold-blooded and calculating, but the truth of the matter is that he is a creature of extreme discipline and attempted order in a world where so much of his life has been the product of wild circumstance. While his early life in the Lowers was chaos, Aswin learned to channel what order he could over what he had control of... himself. And so he considers his actions, be they in service to his family or in service to himself, carefully. Weighing the probable outcome of each action in an effort to bring about his desired result. Cynical in most cases, Aswin tends to think most matters could be settled with a blade rather than pandering around with lengthy words.  +
Athaur Rivenshari +	Athaur is a deeply intense man that prefers to show the world his playful, carefree side, while inside he's two steps ahead of his enemies. Always seeking to find that angle, he plays people like a chess game and his strategy is rarely off. He is a man of his word but he always words things in a way that allows him to take a loophole if needed. Fiercely loyal to his people, Athaur will take on the world to keep what remains of the Rivenshari safe, even if that means going on bended knee to a Compact that he once mocked.  +
Atherton Galeren +	Atherton is not what you might call the life of the party. He's generally gruff, relatively humorless, and a touch paranoid. A little booze will help two of those but he generally stays sober for that exact reason. More positively, he's slow to real anger, calculating, and deliberate in his actions. There's a reason he's lived this long in his line of work.  +
Atreylan Hollowood +	Bold words can be more dangerous than anything for a man without a castle to hide behind, a fact that Atreyan has known since youth. For that reason, he has always worked hard to moderate his temperament and is able to weather a storm of insults like a armored knight beneath swings of a sword. While more than equipped to offer verbal ripostes of his own, he strives to maintain his decorum. That is not to say he has never drawn blood with a phrase, but when he did, it was with the utmost understanding of the consequences. And a sureness that he could withstand the reply.  +
Atria Ulixes +	Social Justice Warrior and Cardian are not two concepts that the average Arvani would put together. This comes by, no pun intended, a scale of degrees. For a Cardian, Atria is a Social Justice Warrior. Oh, she's not out there arguing daily that the slavery is a horrible practice that must be ended; she's arguing that maybe Cardia has enough sources of slaves that Arvum doesn't have to become another one. She's not protesting that the Talons should get to have their wars and skirmishes where needed, or that the standing army needs to be slashed; no, she's arguing it's a bigger show of Cardian dominance to just fly where they want, whether they control the area or not. But most of all, Atria argues for promises kept. Nothing has ever made her so angry as a promise broken, from childhood til now.  +
Atrid Darkwater +	Atrid is a gruff rough and tumble blunt and brutally honest man. He has no filter and will tell you what he thinks when he thinks it with no hesitation. He believes in fair play and honesty but he also has the mentality of take what you want and give nothing back live with no regrets.  +
Auda Crown +	Scrappy, spitfire, too mouthy for her own good. Auda has survived on pure grit and determination, and it's easily seen in bright eyes and guarded postures. She's very, very slow to let people in, but that's not really rare in a city this big. Auda's quick to make acquaintances, of course, but real friends seem few and far between.  +
Auda Florin +	Auda has survived on pure grit and determination, and it's easily seen in her bright eyes and casual confidence. She's quick to make acquaintances, generally friendly and open to socializing-- but true friends seem fewer and farther between. She's rarely far from a grin or a laugh, and seems to have a pretty sunny outlook on life for one who grew up an orphan in the Lowers.  +
Auda Waters +	Scrappy, spitfire, too mouthy for her own good. Auda has survived on pure grit and determination, and it's easily seen in bright eyes and guarded postures. She's very, very slow to let people in, but that's not really rare in a city this big. Auda's quick to make acquaintances, of course, but real friends seem few and far between.  +
Audgrim Veilandir +	Audgrim is a man of cynical humor and the capability to not let his emotions rule. However, he is not asocial - he can enjoy a drink with friendly people, he can tell a story and he enjoys hearing a good one. But he does not trust easily and does not open up to just anyone. From hard life experiences he may seem overly suspicious of situations most would think are harmless, a quirk that sometimes see him refusing to enter an inn, or walk down a certain street - as if he imagines monsters waiting.  +
Audrey None (formerly Valardin) +	Audrey is not a woman of many words, the years have taught her to keep it to herself. A veritable wallflower, the warrior assumes she is not on anyone's mind and tries to play her role to perfection. Even though that paints a muted picture, observation of Audrey reveals far more beneath the surface. She is kind to those around her and she is the type to share her food with soldiers who have gotten less. She gives the time of her day to commonfolk that will talk to her and she responds to kindness with a smile and guarded warmth. The fighter is obviously a wounded woman, bearing a great burden, something some Oathlanders might recognize. Audrey bears her burden well, but if she can find respite in a good talk, she will, as acts of kindness towards her are few and far between. On the subject of kinslaying, Audrey does not speak of it. Commoners might take that as admission of guilt and some sort of shame, but silence precludes Audrey from lying. For as long as she remains silent on the subject, the truth is what others will make of it, and she will remain guilty, as she desires.  +
Audric Crown +	Arrogant, ruthless, completely unburdened by scruples or anything with a passing resemblence to honor, Audric should not be a likable man at all. Unfortunately for the rest of the world, the sellsword captain is charming only in the way that the completely unconscionable and amoral can be. Friendly, cheerful (particularly during and after the acquisition of money), and with a base cunning that provides him with just enough empathy to guess what a mark most what to hear, the irredeemable rogue has a winning charisma that has somehow kept him alive even when absolutely surrounded by cutthroats. Afterall, he is one.  +
Audric de Lire +	Arrogant, ruthless, completely unburdened by scruples or anything with a passing resemblence to honor, Audric should not be a likable man at all. Unfortunately for the rest of the world, the sellsword captain is charming only in the way that the completely unconscionable and amoral can be. Friendly, cheerful (particularly during and after the acquisition of money), and with a base cunning that provides him with just enough empathy to guess what a mark most what to hear, the irredeemable rogue has a winning charisma that has somehow kept him alive even when absolutely surrounded by cutthroats. Afterall, he is one.  +
Augustus Grayson +	With a natural thirst for knowledge that showed itself early in life, Augustus was often given the title of "bookworm" as a child. While this have may been intended as an insult by his peers, he grew to identify with it and is even proud of how well-read he has become, greatly enjoying his broad and deep body of knowledge. A paradox to many observers Augustus appears to live by glaring contradiction that nonetheless make perfect sense - at least from a purely rational perspective. For example, Augustus is at once an almost starry-eyed idealist whilst also being the bitterest of cynics. But this is because he believes that with effort, intelligence, and consideration nothing is impossible, while at the same time he believes the average person is too lazy, short-sighted, inept, or self-serving to actually achieve anything of note. Rules, limitations, and traditions are anathema to Augustus. Everything is open to question and reevaluation - and if he finds a way, Augustus will often act unilaterally to enact his technically superior, sometimes insensitive, and almost always unorthodox methods and ideas. This isn't to be misunderstood as impulsiveness, Augustus is a being of rationality no matter how attractive his end goals may be, and thus every idea whether internal or external in origin must pass his ruthless and ever-present "is this going to work?" and "what does this do for the family" filter. This mechanism is applied at all times, to all things, and all people. In short, Augustus is defined by his tendency to move through life as if it were a giant chess board, with pieces constantly shifting with consideration and intelligence, always assessing new tactics and strategies (with more than a few contingency plans), attempting to constantly outmanoeuvre his peers in order to maintain control of any situation whilst maximising his freedom to do as he needs. This isn't to imply that he acts without conscience, but his own ego and emotional needs are tertiary to the rationality and the pragmatism that drive he and his kin.  +
Aurelia Pravus +	Prone to fits of mischief and bedeviled with a coquettish demeanor, Aurelia has been cast as a cunning figure with a taste for any and all past-times of the upper echelons of society. As a stalwart romantic she has been known to make attachments quickly, but commitments come rarely due to her sometimes flighty, carefree demeanor. Some whisper that a near drowning incident from her teens has left her with a touch of madness.  +
Aurelian Valardin +	A generally calm and logical man, he is a scholar known for seeking out mysteries and knowledge lost in the fire of The Great Fire of Arx so it can be rediscovered.  +
Aureth Grayhope +	Restless energy defines Aureth, a hot core of righteousness beneath alternating layers of humor and reserve. Easy charm and frank affection come as readily to him as quick repartee or sharp insult, and he wields them all with the careless acumen of a man who developed conversation as performance art. Keen acuity occasionally blunted by the raw force of an impatient temper, the forge of life has taken him from a pattern of chameleonic social camouflage to an almost reckless forthrightness. A man of deep loyalties to persons over principles, he has flowered in the grip of late blooming faith into a new and fierce purpose.  +
Auriela Malvici +	Being further from the Malvici branch lines, Auriela has a point to prove and is willing to make what she wants - happen. A voice to be reckoned with, clicks and harsh tones are not rare from her when needed but, also, there is still that refined education she received. That training, that understanding that sometimes a soft smile, a secretive glance across the table, achieves a lot in Lycene politics. Believing she is a cut above the rest, but not given the chance, now she takes when she can and grips onto it with both hands.  +
Aurora Thornburn +	Finding the good in each person, the beauty in all things, Aurora looks at life through rose colored glasses. While not naive to the ways the world works, or shielded from the horrors people are capable of, the woman just prefers to give the benefit of the doubt. Despite this, she is fiercely ambitious. Her goals have been set, and she will do everything she is able to see them met, by any means possible.  +
Aurus Wyrmguard +	Aurus often is compared with his cousins in the mainline. With a strength to match the elder sister, and a dazzling wit and charm to match that of the younger, Aurus is a fine counterpoint between their personalities. Confident, almost assuredly excessively so, his personality is nonetheless radiant, and he seems to almost vibrate with an inner light and purpose. He's infectiously mischievous, though might be said to lack some of the focus of his elder cousin's, but with more temperance than his younger. His passion for achievement is as fierce as dragonflame - and he aims for the stars.  +
Austen Ferron +	It would be a mistake to consider Austen a dull man. While not especially outgoing, he is determined and decisive, and his silence is not borne of thoughtlessness or shyness: he's just terrible at small talk. Additionally, deception is not something Austen does: he is consciously opposed to it and terrible at it on the rare occasion he tries. He is fiercely protective of his family and the few people close to him. Threats are not beyond him, regardless of who the threat is, but he can usually get the sentiment across by glaring daggers.  +
Austin Goddard +	Austin is a bombastic and larger-than-life fellow. He rarely takes himself seriously regardless of the situation. He's great to have around at a party-not so great at your aunt Meredith's funeral, probably. Not one to settle down, he frequently looks anxious when not in control of the situation, fidgeting about like a child at a school desk. He moves about with an almost cartoonish smirk and swagger, exuding confidence wherever he goes. He's a right positive force in the world, really! Albeit suffocating at times-and at others, something is definitely off about it, as if he's grabbing for attention, or simply doesn't care to hear what others around him are thinking.  +
Avak Zadarra +	Avak is verry determined. If he feels he can do something, he will try as hard as he possibly can. That is one of the reasons why he became a soldier. Avak also is quite kind, trying to help everyone. He can be angered easely though, and if he is angry, he is going to show it. Along with this, he has a hard side, and he never gives up. His mind is always set. He never changes his mind, and he always will be that way.  +
Avaline Velenosa +	Possessing of a certain quiet grace, Avaline is a bright spirit. Quick to smile and easy to laugh, she finds joy in the simple things in her life. She's sociable and tends to bond quickly and is eager to hug and embrace close friends. She manages an air of propriety, even in the most Lycene of settings, and despite her jovial nature is quick to take charge and is very quick to shut down any signs of disrespect.  +
Avary Ashford +	If one were looking for a perfect representative of the Sentinel, it coalesces in Avary. Cool and impartial, she rarely lets emotions cloud her judgment or sway her decisions, but she remembers every single word or slight. While not unkind, she is certainly reserved. She is as slow to anger as she is to trust. Only very few have ever seen past her walls of polite ice.  +
Avasyn Culler +	Avasyn is a quiet woman, gentle and perhaps a tad shy, though her personal walls she's thrown up leave her emotionless in appearance most of the time. This can make her seem mysterious and somewhat eerie. But she's weak and sickly, and easily frightened a lot of the time, which makes her weary. Despite this she's kind and loving of those she knows and trusts, and would do anything for her family, friends and frequent customers. But scorn her, and she won't forget it, adding it to her vast amount of hurt and anger that has welled up over the years. Her desire for more gives her passion and drive, urging her to always learn more of her art as an apothecary, from perfumes to poisons, from herbs to flowers. She -will- be more than her parents, and she -will- be more than what they thought she was. She also holds a fascination with the concept of magic. Overall she's not an overbearing woman, a mysterious wallflower obscured by thorns, with delicate, easily marred petals.  +
Averie Ashford +	Averie is not the shrinking violet her parents expected of her namesake. As a young child, she was always the first into a chamber or garden, toddling along with her hands stretched out, reaching for what she could not yet touch. As a young woman she is much the same, albeit her movement is far more graceful. An ardent adventurer, Averie is constantly in motion, an irrepressible force that drives for knowledge and the unknown once she has a vestige of what she might be looking for. There is no barrier or obstacle too great that will restrain her quest for understanding the great mysteries of the world.  +
Aviana Bertram +	Known for being Intelligent and aware of her surroundings and things going on, Aviana is both sweet and quiet till you get to know her or she gets to know you. She is loyal and enjoys to have fun with friends and enjoys watching the spars and jousting. She is all about her love for sewing something she truly does love to do.  +
Avita Seraceni +	Bold, brash, and audacious. Avita has never been a person that's afraid to share her opinion, it's just that she usually does it in such a way that her true intentions or feelings on the matter are often terribly difficult to ascertain. A master of the complisult, she has a way of saying the most horrendous things and making it sound like the sweetest of sentiments. Larger than life, an unrepentant hedonist at heart, the embodiment of dignified depravity, and ever so proud of it. She will live this life, damnit, and she'll leave nothing on the table but the sullied scraps. Sure, this will probably inevitably lead to a most spectacular, and likely messy end, but she's cool with it.  +
Avovorinth Seraceni +	An odd sort, Avo (For short.) is an intense and strange mannered young man. He has a tendency to stare into the distance mid sentence. Can be sensitive to seemingly random words or phrases. Twitches on occasion as if terrified of something unseen by others. Avo is primarily gay but has some attraction to women as well.  +
Axel Culler +	Axel is curious to a fault and his sharp wit supports him in his endeavors to fulfill his needs. He loves to stick his nose into everybody's business, regardless whether or not he should; the more interesting his current target is, the better. Money doesn't drive him, but it's still an important building block that helps further his goals. And information sells. The Lower Boroughs taught him to be careful with people he puts his trust into and that sometimes, only pretending to trust someone might suffice. Despite his seemingly cold appearance, he's rather affable and attentive.  +
Azhan Arrynfield +	Most of the time open with those he meets, even if asked certain personal questions he won't shy away from them. Often his outward demeanor can be said to be thoughtful, usually weighing what he hears carefully before responding to subjects presented to him. All he cares to really do is study and share his thoughts on matter provided they are subjective in matter and not 'touchy'.  +
Azolla Nightgold +	Sweet tempered and mild mannered. She talks very softly but that maybe due to the illness suffered as a child but she has a hauntingly beautiful voice. She is a very talented artist and musicain. Her easy going sweetness makes it easy for anyone to get along with her. She is always has perfect manners and there is an alluring grace about the way she speaks and moves.  +
Azova Darkwater +	Azova’s roots are idealistic and ingenuous, a native optimism that simply could not survive the trials of reality, but they linger beneath a surface that life has hardened. She sees the best in people, and lavishes hope upon the world in the keen desire to shape it, change it, into something better than it is. That doesn’t mean she is blind to what is, but chooses to live in a world that she can effect, and focuses instead on what could be. She has a battlefield medic’s mouth — or a sailor’s, take your pick — and though her warmth and optimism shine like beacons from her eyes, it’s rare that she can get through a conversation delving into the startlingly profane. It’s easy to think that a kind woman is soft, but Azova is anything but: even-tempered and generous though she is, this is layering over a spine of solid steel. Her smile may be sweet, but that never made her less of a force to be reckoned with.  +
B
Babette Grayson +	Babette is always thinking and she's always talking and often the two overlap in ways that end up with her foot placed squarely in her mouth. She's very smart and her mind is constantly turning things over so she often doesn't think before she speaks and then when she realizes what's happening gets flustered, which causes even more words to come tumbling out when oh gods she should just really stop now sorry! But she always means well and has a huge heart. She loves mysteries of all kinds, reading, and making friends. She's sociable and cheerful and amiable and ambitious, so what's not to like?  +
Baelor Keaton +	If one were being unkind, you might call him dour. Or brooding even. Brooding is nicer than dour, but they all sort of make sense for the man. He might describe himself as taciturn. He is little reason to speak up and interject when so many people are quite willing to talk a fool of themselves around him. He has earned his prizes and run through the follys of youth enough that he doesn't feel like he should act the pup anymore. The man does better in small groups, perhaps drinking circles or with others closer to his age. The dint of experience weighs heavily upon this Oathlander and it isn't an easy burden to shoulder around the enthusiastic youth.  +
Baelos Redrain +	Self-assured, rakish, reckless, brash. Baelos strides through life with the confidence afforded by his name and his youth. As quick with a jest as he is with his blade, Baelos seeks fun of all varieties, particularly if it involves trouble. Typically he affects a cool disposition, but his temper is as fiery as any Northman when provoked. That said, he is more often seen slapping backs than exchanging punches.  +
Bahiya Mathali +	Warm and inviting, Bahiya is also amazingly stubborn and very independent. Observant to a fault, she's always eager to learn as much about anything that interests her as she can. Her joy is almost child-like, the steel in her spine a subtle thing, and while she may raise her voice to gain attention, she very rarely loses her temper.  +
Baldessare Velenosa +	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.  +
Baldwin Fidante +	Baldwin can be described as emblematic at best; possessing a quiet confidence, a man of words only when they are needed and highly disciplined, perhaps since he has spent most of his life absorbed in martial training. His skill with weapons and tactics is well established, though he can sometimes provide advice to those interested with an even mind. He is patient, polite and seldom prone to outbursts of rage. However, those do happen, with all the righteous fury that entails.  +
Baltus Darkwater +	Baltus is a self-assured man who lets little interfere with things he considers to be the logical path. He takes pride in his actions that are daring and goes forth with the risks, after weighing if they are worth it, to take the glory for himself, his family, and the Thrax Family. Baltus will protect those he holds dear with his life and lets his wrath be known when he feels someone is speaking ill of them. Baltus will often take the defense of his relatives too far, however, for he loses his logical sense of thinking when he sees red do to perceived slights against him and his own. Under his cool, confident facade it is found he is quite warm and open, with those he thinks of fondly.  +
Barbrey Blackwood +	At first glance, one might assume that the winter years of Barbrey Blackwood's life have lent her an even temperment -- cool and gentle. But that would be a false assumption. Though she has changed with the wind, and changed with the times, her vigorous passion for life is ever-resting beneath the surface. Her reservation is a mere mask for the more proactive side of her: she would much rather charge into battle than sit around a dining table. Her demeanour to those around her can best be described as "frank" -- though she does not mock, and the barbs of her truth are not sharp, she does her best to avoid the pointless and poisonous platitudes of some other nobles. She is most chivalrous, some might say, when in her natural environment -- the wondrous outdoors, as befits those who cling onto shamanistic beliefs. Indeed, in spite of her martial demeanour, there is a wisdom in her knowledge of religion. She is a stalwart ally to those who would look upon her kindly -- but would make a fearsome foe indeed.  +
Barik Reed +	Barik is obscenely sardonic and grim, with little patience for the plight of the common - or not so common - man and only so for those who promise him a bite of the proverbial apple. The innocence of youth long evaporated him into a perpetual state of cynical disconcert, appraising each and every passing countenance with visible skepticism to the on-looking eye. When speaking, a coherently gravel-like voice speaks, yet its pacing remains gracious; its nature roguish, and deceitful.  +
Barric Grayson +	Barric Greyson is a man of pure blood, noble heritage, and an almost out of place drive to prove that he deserves them. He doesn?t view himself as superior, necessarily, but he sees his birth as a responsibility to fulfill, to be a protector of the people. Divine right comes with divine responsibility and he puts every effort into his study of the sword. He is a formidable warrior, because he has put in the practice to be so, leading by example, never shirking or trying to find the fast track. His courtly etiquette is beyond reproach, viewing the niceties as an honor to fulfill, and respect to give. In his mind, Glory will come, after Duty and Honor, and that is what made the Heroes of Old great. It is not something to seek out, but a natural result, and he remains humble when it is received. He feels there is a time and a place for everything, and when something happens out of that natural order, it sets him off balance and he can feel lost in situations far removed from the battlefields he knows. Being named Sword of Bastion was meant to be, but not until he had truly proven himself, so now he works twice as hard to be where he should have been to truly earn it. Outside of duty and honor, he finds great joy in the simple pleasures, enjoying the company of his fellows, but refuses to become the idle rich, having no patience for it and almost feels guilty when he finds any idle moments.  +
Bashira Ru-Taul +	Bashira shares some of her older brother Caspian's personality for the bright and the dark. She admittedly is more guarded until she gets to know and trust people. Once she does though they've gained a pretty loyal friend. Almost to a fault sometimes. Her past has a lot to do with it, so would anyone blame a young woman for not wanting to get ensnared in some dark scheme or life again. She has a deep desire to learn and absorb as much as much of the Island Shav culture as she can. Even going to lengths as to learning some of the shamanistic practices. She has adopted the dress as well. Its an identity of her own that she was not afforded as a child. So she clings to it just a little.  +
Basilio Cabral +	Anyone who knows Basilio knows that he's a summer child that hasn't quite grown up yet. His knack for finding humor and fun in the most dour and dreadful situations tends to annoy the more serious types, especially when his jokes are bad. Does he care? Not one bit. Okay, maybe a little, if a Thraxian lord threatened to mince his balls if he slugged out any more puns. While his free-spirited attitude can barely keep him still enough to read a book, he enjoys learning new things but prefers to learn them on the job. He is most often tempted to experiment on people, whether they realize it or not. On days when people don't interest him, he is happy enough being alone and satiating his curiosity with dives, collecting trinkets and memorabilia that have been forgotten beneath the waves.  +
Bastien +	Bastien is a creature of extremes. He can be, at turns, laconic and morose or vibrant and energized. He feels his convictions -- which generally center on the hypocrisy of pretty much everyone in the world -- with a raging fire of passion. He is capable of great wit and eloquence, which often shows up in his work, and can sway an audience through words to either adore something or loathe it, but he lacks a sense of responsibility or practicality to make good use of his talents. He is prone to obsessiveness that tends to show up in a hunger-pang frame. The fact that he is forced to sometimes write work less than grand artistry or scathing satire -- for entertainment's sake, darling, please just take a break from all of those /feelings/ -- is a source of continual despair.  +
Bastien Crown +	Bastien is a creature of extremes. He can be, at turns, laconic and morose or vibrant and energized. He feels his convictions -- which generally center on the hypocrisy of pretty much everyone in the world -- with a raging fire of passion. He is capable of great wit and eloquence, which often shows up in his work, and can sway an audience through words to either adore something or loathe it, but he lacks a sense of responsibility or practicality to make good use of his talents. He is prone to obsessiveness that tends to show up in a hunger-pang frame. The fact that he is forced to sometimes write work less than grand artistry or scathing satire -- for entertainment's sake, darling, please just take a break from all of those /feelings/ -- is a source of continual despair.  +
Baz Thornburn +	Baz (she has a full name, but don't dare call her that) is filled with the courage of her convictions. They take her to dizzying highs and exasperating lows. One moment the woman is passionately pursuing her muse, writing satire and drama to bring the world to its knees, and the next she spirals, sullen and withdrawn, holing up in the Thornburn family home in her little attic bolthole, smoking ceaselessly and staring out at the world in abject despair. Only when she is changing the world with her art is she exuberant, almost manic in her pursuit of critical acclaim and soul, as if the two could ever be found hand in hand.  +
Beatrice Malespero +	Beatrice. Beh-ah-tree-chay. And that's /Lady/ Beatrice. This is a woman that sharp and witty and perfectly poised. Not always proper, but always proper for the situation, and always quick to upturn her nose and take note of bad behavior. It isn't that Beatrice is mean or petty, she is merely very aware of her own standing and that of others. After all, unlike most of her peers, Beatrice has done more with her life than be born. She earned her nobility, and so she demands the respect she is entitled to, and just the same expects other nobles to act respectfully. (And no, she's not going to admit there were some odd circumstances to her ennoblement, she earned it!) At the same time, she was born common, and knows what it's like to be in a tiered world, where privilege is so real, and so many do not have it. She does her best to respect commoners just the same, and encourage them toward greatness (all without acting common herself, no that wouldn't do at all).  +
Beatrix Corsetina +	Whether the White Rose of the Corsetina family enjoys games of mystery or if she effortlessly plays them is up to anyone's guess. Always close but never within reach is her motto and she dances at that edge for her own amusement and nobody else's. To most the woman is aloof and undeniably attractive but to an attentive observer Beatrix enjoys being unknown, a ghost and muse to others around them. Beatrix relaxes around her family, showing the playful demeanor she so expertly hide to outsiders, but she is never without a few thorns to her.  +
Beaumont Valardin +	Beaumont likes to live a little dangerously. Not too dangerously - he is a Prince, after all, fighting nonlethal duels for money and prestige. If that lifetsyle pits him against and amongst more unsavory types than your average Knightly man, it's not something he's terribly bitter (or concerned) about. Confident and personable, he finds little trouble fitting in and finding something to laugh over with nearly anyone. He can be impulsive and hot-tempered, though, finding most of his fellow Champions a bit too quick to become familiar. His anger is ususally as brief as it is sudden, and he's not too proud to diffuse the tension diplomatically.  +
Becka Honor +	Becka is background noise in this world. She keeps her head down and stays out of trouble while trying to survive day to day. She's quiet and polite, that is, if anyone gives her the time of day. When she is around others of her status she opens up to become more warm and kind, but even then she has a habit of blending into the background and not being a bother. At times she can be caught laughing and enjoying herself, but these slivers of happiness rarely exist for now.  +
Bedivere Whitehawk +	He is of commoner origin, but it is difficult to tell. Bedivere is a gentleman, a man of honor, and an intelligent man with few vices and considerable patience. Age and experience has tempered his optimism and idealism, but he still believes with skill and courage his men can do anything. He clearly cares about those under his command, but is willing to use them boldly if necessary. As a former commander of one of House Bislands most decorated cavalry squadrons, his skill on the battlefield is formidable. He constantly rethinks his plans to offset changes in circumstances, errors made by his commanders, or his orders being disobeyed. He is not rigidly attached to any plan if another will achieve his goal. When the odds are against him, he may make chancy and daring decisions, sometimes breaking with conventional combat tactics when time is against him. He is an attentive and responsible father, and the future of his children is his primary reason behind joining House Grayson. Bedivere has a notable distrust of the Shav'arani as a whole, likely due to his traumatic experiences while in captivity.  +
Behtuk Sanna +	Behtuk's silence is often mistaken for ignorance, even stupidity, an impression he does not actively seek to dispel. He knows that his appearance leads to many assumptions about him. Rather than fight these miscconceptionsm, he allows them to guide him to those who will look past their prejudices and see the man underneath. Nevertheless, he rarely speaks in elaborate sentences, prefering to limit his words and let his deeds and his craft speak for him.  +
Bell Cleck +	He talks a storm, rapidly and well, but he's cagey and careful, although given to a gently edged kind of humor that reveals more than conceals pain. He is hungry for tomorrows. And more tomorrows. And more tomorrows. He's both ambitious and collaborative, always looking for the path he can take with the person he's talking with. Right this moment.  +
Belladonna Pravus +	Belladonna knows how easily it would be for her to be a truly wicked woman. Many of the city-states in the Lyceum tend toward cruel and insidious plots, sacrificing anything and everything for power. Belladonna is every bit as capable to play the same cutthroat games, and play them well, but has come to fear just how much she enjoys them. She loved her father, and his good heart very much, even as she saw how it destroyed him. It makes her determined, shrewd, and extremely capable of manipulative intrigue but she is well aware that ruthless maneuvers undermines her father's legacy and the hopes he cherished that she would follow him as an honorable, kindhearted ruler. For her enemies, she represents a contradiction of a dangerously charming woman that can be a deadly, conniving adversary yet remains capable of confounding acts of generosity and compassion that leaves opponents bemused on what could possibly be her hidden motive. It's more simple than that, really. She wants to be a good woman, strong and powerful, but she will stop at nothing to avoid the mistakes of her father.  +
Bellamy Redrain +	To say that Bellamy might be the sweetest princess you'd ever meet might not be far from the truth. On the flipside, to say that she is the softest Redrain princess you'll ever meet is almost definitely the truth. A kind-hearted young woman taking her first steps out of a sheltered and more than a little pampered childhood. She would never have an unkind word to say about another, and she would surely give the clothing off of her back to someone in need but she's not the most aware of the struggle of the common people. She's all full of bright smiles, grand gestures that help the immediate but not long term problem, and a heart too sensitive to take even the mildest of criticism. She's sweet, but spoilt and soft.  +
Bellona Deucalion +	Her voice resides in the part of the ear where secrets linger and the beguiling susurrus bespells; soft, charming and oracular, Bellona tempts like the woods at twilight - her siren call, both captivating and dangerous to those who would dare follow its song. Casuistry is her finest gift; she is as vulpine as the fox moving sinuously from snow-mound to snow-bound in the deep dark, her prey -the naive and superstitious whose pockets she feeds off of with predacious amusement.  +
Benedetto Velenosa +	Benedetto is lively, charming, and vibrant. He can take this to obnoxious extremes. Witty, irrepressible and irresponsible, Benedetto is a master of deflection: he deflects insults, he deflects undue seriousness, he deflects unearned compliments. Slithering out of trouble is probably his chiefest accomplishment. He'd be the first to tell you that fun is his primary drive. Thirsty for gossip, delighted by social gatherings and generally an incredible showoff, he is quick to defend his family and friends with a bravura energy that rarely extends to self-protection.  +
Benedict Ferro +	Benedict's personality could be considered a stick in the mud sometimes. Work and bettering himself be it knowledge or strength of some kind will be most of the time taken over 'fun' activities, with the occasional exception when the mood strikes him. He is long to anger, and he does not forget what people say or do very quickly. He is not one to hold grudges, but no tresspass against him or anyone he cares about will be quickly forgotten.  +
Benjamin Carver +	Benjamin is a passionate, and passionately irreverent, rake with a tongue of silver and honey. He is seemingly set to remind the world not to take itself too seriously. It makes for a unique bedside manner while he's amputating gangrenous limbs, or merely colorful conversation for those who come in for the equally dire shave and trim. New experiences, for the better or the worse, are to be sought, appreciated, and learned from. He'll readily trade in stories and riddles, and rarely turns down a gamble. He takes great pleasure in indulging others as much as himself, frequently in the form of culinary delectables he's found and learned to recreate throughout his travels.  +
Benvolio Corvini +	Benvolio is alternatively ruthless and lazy. While not ambitious, and content to permit his elder brothers and sisters to dictate the course of family affairs, he is a loyal and effective footsoldier. He is hedonistic and enjoys the trappings of wealth, including bright fashionable clothes, shiny new weapons, or fine horses.  +
Berenice Velenosa +	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.  +
Berto Tiazza +	Berto is warm and kind, with a genuinely amiable demeanor. Sure, he's definitely about the money now and again, but it's rare that he's going to go out of his way to gouge people. Given his quick and easy sense of humor, he's almost always laughing and smiling. He's also pretty drunk most of the time.  +
Bethany Mercier +	Bethany has a mind like a steel trap, capable of understanding a situation before it fully unfolds. Being curious is her first nature, so this is partly a defense mechanism she's developed to avoid getting in trouble. Her skills in planning and accounting are noteworthy, which makes her a good fit for her career path, and trusted by her merchant father when it comes to managing her finances. While on the surface she is affable, Bethany tends to establish emotional boundaries between herself and her friends and acquaintances. She fears being hurt and feels safe only when she has control of the relationship.  +
Bhandn Yvar +	Before he met Valena Eseri in the course of his travels, many had called Sir Bhandn Yvar "serious enough to make a lecture seem exciting." In many ways, he still is. On the road, he tolerates nonsense as much as he does his traveling charges being assailed. Anything and everything that could clearly endanger those in his charge are prone for stern rebuke. Their safety -- his duty -- comes before all else. Similar thinking exists for keeping himself in fighting condition. Over the course of the past thirty years, however, the stony wall that was his typical demeanor has gradually begun to erode. During his brief rests in civilized areas, he is far more likely to be found engaged in banter-filled labor and physical competitions, rather than simply brooding while laboring to keep his armaments in good condition.  +
Bianca Wyrmguard +	Composed of ineffable poise and grace, her words laced with uncanny wisdom, and possessed of a calm disposition that seems capable of weathering even the worst of storms, Bianca Wyrmguard is always ready with a kind word or advice to those in need of it, putting a sharp and empathetic mind to work in helping the people around her. But while she is undoubtedly warm, it is a distant warmth. Bianca often exists at a remove from others, playing most of her private thoughts and feelings close to the vest, and rarely speaks about herself, preferring instead to focus on the needs of others. Behind all those layers lies a naturally pragmatic woman who nonetheless finds deep fascination in the human condition and is endlessly in passionate pursuit of new knowledge and new experiences. Recent years, however, have seen a slow shift in Bianca's outlook and behavior, and her deep well of calm has been steadily coupled with a biting and incisive wit that has little tolerance for foolishness. Increasingly willing to embrace her own, personal ambitions, Bianca is implacable once she puts her mind to something -- to the point of an unfortunate tendency towards overworking herself; a fact that she will persistently disavow right up to the point she passes out in the middle of her adamant denial.  +
Bjorn Grimhall +	Bjorn is a man shaped by his personal tragedies. A life of watching emotions be the downfall of men and women he's loved has changed him into a soldier of crisp professionalism. Calm, often cool and aloof, his demeanor often gives a false indication of a man completely detached by the consequences of his work, but nothing could be further from the truth. He embraces what he's need to become to ever prevent anyone else from feeling the brutal losses that still haunt him. When not in a professional setting, the ice thaws, but even then he is the sort to only drink towards moderation. Someone has to keep their head about them, after all.  +
Blacktongue Artiglio +	Being a jester wasn't Blacktongue's first choice, but he always had a playful spirit, keeping his brother and nephew in good humors. He views his position as one of honor, being trusted by the family to speak his mind in an entertaining fashion with only a slim chance he'll be executed for it? It's like a dream come true. The only care he takes is to not bring shame on the Velenosa family, or take a jest too far. He didn't spend years practically killing himself to mock them now in a way that would cause true injury. His general mood tends to be one of hope and cheer, though, should anyone anger him, or harm his family, blood and fealty, he can be biting, sarcastic, and downright cruel. He tends to live each day as if it were his last, mostly out of habit from his days when that was potentially his fate every meal.  +
Blair Elricks +	Blair is a friendly, honest sort of girl. Always trying to do her best to impress her family and superiors. She sometimes seems to zone out. She claims this is because the spirits are speaking with her. Though it could just be an oddity. She thrives in the midst of combat though, loving to spar and even true battles. She is most at home on the battlefield.  +
Bliss Whisper +	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.  +
Blossom Corsetina +	Sweet, friendly, kind, and not-all-there are the best ways to describe Blossom. It's as if she lives in her own little world that intersects with our own only sometimes, and never reliably. She regularly gets lost in her work, in her thoughts, in the city... sometimes she'll forget to wash the paint off of her hands, or forget to bring her purse to the market, or forget she's talking to someone in the middle of a conversation. She takes people at face value - perhaps because she's never paying enough attention to see the undercurrent - but still somehow manages to avoid danger through sheer luck.  +
Blush Prismatics +	The consummate gentleman, Blush ascribes very much to the lifestyle of a bon vivant. He enjoys life in all its aspects, but expects a certain level of sophistication and a splash of refinement as lovely garnishes to this tasty dish of an existence. That isn't to say his idea of sophistication and refinement are correct, because he often chooses to express his enjoyment through flamboyant clothing that captures each color of the rainbow. He holds a strange fascination for the lives of others, to the point of nosiness, and he is always willing to give free advice! His advice, however, comes with the caveat that it is the other's choice - even if he stresses, always, how much freedom from anything that holds one down is the correct, one and only, ultimate, and perfect choice.  +
Bonibel Barleycorn +	Sensible. Bonibel has always been the pragmatic sort. Stubborn and quick-witted this young woman can sometimes be abrasive but it's usually out of a lack of time more than it is a lack of patience. A hard life as a Prodigal and living in the Lowers has tempered her over time making her slow to anger and wields a glass-half-full view of the world. She just doesn't have the time for sulking.  +
Bonnie Shepherd +	With a sublimely self-confident swagger and utter fearlessness that could verge on the reckless, Bonnie is a woman unaccustomed to seeing any setback or difficulty as anything but an intriguing challenge to be tackled. An unapologetic bon vivant, Bonnie is a connoisseur of all that life has to offer, and laughs off social mores or a sense of shame in the pursuit of whatever catches her fancy.  +
Bors Keaton +	In a word, severity. This is very little give in this Oathlands Knight. As rigid in posture as he is in adherence to the principles of Chivalry and Honor. He is the epitome of a Knight of the West, fulfilling the stereotypes in both positive and negative ways. He is polite to all, in a gruff sort of way, formal and exacting in his expectation of the manners of those around him. He will be the first to defend the defenseless (should they be on the right side of the law) and the last to leave the field of battle, exacting the last drop of payment from the enemy and defending the rest of his brethren. He is a hard man, but his loyalty is stronger than steel and like honor, never bends.  +
Bosco Caputo +	No one has ever accused Bosco of being charming, witty or joyful. He's stubborn, that's for sure and often slips into snap judgments about people, places or things that are then hard to shift. There is a certain amount of bitterness about him that he doesn't express, and an often surly temprament that is prone to introspection. He's mostly pragmatic, and definitely capable. His passions (or perhaps outlets) are smithing and fighting, both of which involve beating something. Not quick to anger and there's often a weariness about any heated temper that suggests this wasn't always the case. He is capable of an affable good humour, although it doesn't always make it all the way to his eyes.  +
Brace Din +	As ever changing as the tide, Brace reflects that which she is presented with. On the surface, she is a woman of incredible grace and consideration, however something far darker lies beneath.  +
Braden Laurent +	Braden is generally rather carefree, enjoying being kind of laid back, that is, until he needs to be serious. Usually occuring when someone is in danger. He see's it as his job to keep his friends and family safe. His desire to protect does not stop there. He would lay down his life to keep just about anyone alive. He takes his training seriously, but on his off time he is quick to be a little snarky and a bit of a trouble maker.  +
Brady Grayhope +	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.  +
Braelynn Deepwood +	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.  +
Braith Mazetti +	Braith is an animated, lively young woman, full of vim and vigor. Her spirit rarely flags. She tells stories and puts them to music; she yearns for the limelight and owns it with the full power of her panache whenever she can. She loves learning about new things and trying to figure out how to rhyme them. She falls in love easily and often, bright with passion and full of fire; in the wake of her amorous adventures, she tends to castigate her former lovers in hilarious and sometimes ribald song. Witty and sassy, Braith pretends that she isn't at all insecure or lonely, but it's a pretense that doesn't always hold up.  +
Braith Sanna +	Braith is an animated, lively young woman, full of vim and vigor. Her spirit rarely flags. She tells stories and puts them to music; she yearns for the limelight and owns it with the full power of her panache whenever she can. She loves learning about new things and trying to figure out how to rhyme them. She falls in love easily and often, bright with passion and full of fire; in the wake of her amorous adventures, she tends to castigate her former lovers in hilarious and sometimes ribald song. Witty and sassy, Braith pretends that she isn't at all insecure or lonely, but it's a pretense that doesn't always hold up.  +
Bran Ravenseye +	Thoughtful would likely be how most of Ravenseye would describe Bran. A far thinking individual, he's never been slow witted--far from it, in fact--but he tends to take his time when possible, looking over a situation from all angles. Laying plans that won't come to fruition for years, but when they do bear fruit are remarked upon for their foresight. Just because he's a thinker though doesn't mean he's not quick with an easy smile, and a warm embrace. While stern and implacable when he needs to be, Bran would rather make friends than enemies. He treats his house's vassals like family, a warm father figure. Authoritative, and commanding, but out of a desire to see them achieve their own potential, rather than bettering his own standing.  +
Branan Dominici +	A pensive, bookish man who prefers to deal with the quill and ink, rather than with people when he can avoid it. Branan displays a stark preference for libraries to marketplaces and for the silence of catacombs to the din of a crowd. With a furtive gaze that flicks here and there nervous hands always in motion, his overall bearing is one of anxious scholastic mediocrity.  +
Branimir Eswynd +	Everything about him is loud, his voice booms and fills space around him, and his laughter is thunderous. His rare temper is an equally fierce thing, burning bright but quickly running out of fuel. But Branimir's personality trends towards the jovial, he has seen and survived enough to know one should drink deep from the cup of life at every opportunity. While many of the younger reavers who are sworn to Eswynd regard their new liege with suspicion, Branimir sees the potential in this relationship and counsels his nephews to strengthen their ties with Thrax and the Mourning Isles. Then maybe even with the Compact!  +
Brannen Harthall +	Few children have been as severe as Brannen. It seemed he was always of complete understanding and acceptance of his responsibility. Driven, focused, responsible. However there is something about Brannen that separates him from most of his dour compatriots. Brannen is not one to look down upon carefree, jovial, or happy-go-lucky types. Brannen loves them, like his twin sister. However Brannen has always understood that beacons of happiness and creativity cannot fully protect themselves, he sees himself as a guardian of beauty of the world and someone has to be a little bit boring to protect such things. It might as well be Brannen. Though he is not the most charming, Brannen knows how to lead. He may not be well liked, but he is respected by those under his command. A true stalwart, Brannen may be seen by many as a dullard, though the man truly can respect a well crafted joke or prank, however he is more focused on his duty and making sure the Right Thing is done. Brannen lives his life for honor and the Gods, he is constantly prepared to make the necessary sacrifices to protect what he loves.  +
Branwen Stormfeather +	She would much rather surround herself with nature and animals then with people. But, feeling that the spirits need her to help her fellow humans, Branwen reluctantly seeks out venues where she can offer her assistance to those in need. If there is an animal in distress that she can help, all the better. She comes across as quiet, but stubborn. And sometimes off in her own little world, though if one were to ask her a question she would surprise them with a detailed response. Whatever else may be happening around her though, she tries to be thoughtful and thorough, even when she has no wisdom to offer.  +
Brass Not anymore +	Brass is just full of personality! Funny and sarcastic without the meanspiritedness that would make him truly snarky, he can't quite conceal his mostly good heart, even if his brash enthusiasm sometimes causes him to make rash (and unkind) decisions. See, he's cocky, and arrogant, and even if it started as a way to conceal his gooey, uncertain, vulnerable insides...after centuries, it stuck.  +
Braxas Songweaver +	Braxas loves nothing quite so much as his freedom. He goes where he wants and does what he wants, he doesn't care what people think of him. He can be a bit mean or abrasive at times, he has a silver tongue but sometimes it just...turns off. Braxas is the kind of bard parents warn thier children to avoid. But just because he is selfish and a loner at heart doesn't mean he lacks talent.  +
Breccan Malere +	Known to smile often and with an infectious personality that seeks to get a grin from even the most austere, Breccan is unabashed in all sorts of company. Not one to seek confrontation, he instead searches for reasoning and solutions. While not easily given in to anger with a patience that has been tested through many trials, there are very few who have been able to push him far enough where wrath is presented - but Pantheon bless the poor soul who does.  +
Bree Harthall +	Bree's family always said that ever since she was born the sun was just a little bit dimmer, because it gave part of its light to Bree. She has always been addicted to stories, and becoming the hero of those stories. She is radiance and generally the most optimistic person in the room. It is hard to dim her mood. It is extremely difficult to take away from her jubilance. Bree is extremely talented at finding the silver lining in things. And also extremely good at shrugging things off. If people don't like her upbeat attitude, she is rarely offended. She is aware that she is somewhat naive that her bright and excitable nature could lead some to take advantage of her... But she's pretty sure that won't happen! Why would people do that when you're nice to them! She takes everything about Gild VERY seriously, and is a firm believer that all problems in the world can either be stabbed to death with her blade, or hugged to death. But not really death. Just until it's brought around. Even with her upbeat attitude, she's still a soldier. So at times she can be slightly offputting when she's being so cheery after she's just felled an enemy of the compact, blood still on her blade.  +
Breidaia Ferchyn +	Breidaia has a booming, wide personality that takes the world by the horns. Not for her the days of living quietly at the fireside, shrinking away from the plate full of delicious possibilities. She has gained refinement over the years, but that hasn't dulled her enthusiasm more than a shade. The expectations to pony up and behave well with a crew rather than acting the freewheeling hellion still have their effect. Beneath the polite graces, a veneer only skin deep, lies the vigorous fire that will sail to unknown shores and go where others might fear to sail or tread. She has a thorough appreciation of risk and an appetite for adventure. But Breidaia too is the leader and mother hen over those under her charge, and she constantly takes measures to assure their safety. She isn't reckless or irresponsible, but an irrepressible force no more contained than the sea.  +
Brianna Halfshav +	Brianna never quite settled into the role of a proper lady. She is courteous, graceful, demure when needs be, and knows all the steps of the courtly dance, but it's all practice, rather than natural ability. She loves to laugh at raunchy humor, and dance a bawdy dance. She loves living in Arx, because it lets her dress in the nigh-scandalous fashions of the Lyceum - which show more skin than is practical in the cold North. She's rarely inappropriate and never so by intention, but she loves how the Velenosa skirt that line, and the rich sparkles of the Grayson mines. She can be vain, cruel, and terrible when she needs to be, but mostly she simply wants to experience life like few can. She made for warfare and the adventures that go with it, and she makes her own adventures in the wilds of the city life. Little ignite the wild fury she feels like the Shav that terrorize her homeland, and she becomes completely irrational when talk turns to them and their ilk.  +
Briar Marjawn +	As a child he was called 'wild child'. That wild has transformed into a fierce sense of loyalty and duty. That applies to his vocation just as well as the rest of his life. But he is also fierce in everything. In his joy, in his anger, in his pain. Though he may wish, it is a struggle for him to leash his enthusiasm and seemingly endless energy.  +
Bridget Pravus +	A flighty young woman with half a brain, or perhaps slightly less than half. She enjoys books, but rarely finds herself reading them all the way through. She also tends to forget the stories, so it doesn't really matter if she finishes them anyways. She is somewhat clumsy, has a bad taste in fashion, and is generally tone deaf, but despite her odd qualities and grim life, she is pleasant enough. She is generally in good spirits, and has a refreshing air of whimsical innocence to her. If kindness and enthusiasm were admirable qualities, she would have a rating of 10 out of 10, but they aren't. If she were a peasant she would have been food for the wolves, but luckily the girl was born into a noble family, so instead she is food for the mindless politics of noble houses.  +
Brier Crovane +	While Brier is more subdued since the death of her late husband, there is still a fiery passion inside of her that is tempered by a strong will and hot headed streak. There is no doubt that while Brier is capable of playing up her role as a Lady, there is even less doubt that she would prefer nothing more than to just be rough housing or shaping iron and steel.  +
Brigid Inverno +	A quiet presence, there was something to be said about the silence she often holds when in conversation or working stringently with the hooved beasts she trained, as all she had to say was in the set of her eyes, the quirk of her mouth, or the power of her stance. Given to words that held a lesson or meaning, it was rare for her to blunder into a situation without giving it some forethought and the same is to be said about outward emotion. While not visibly cold, some might describe her as lukewarm until they get to know the true woman beneath the layers of polite reticence.  +
Brigid Moore +	A quiet presence, there was something to be said about the silence she often holds when in conversation or working stringently with the hooved beasts she trained, as all she had to say was in the set of her eyes, the quirk of her mouth, or the power of her stance. Given to words that held a lesson or meaning, it was rare for her to blunder into a situation without giving it some forethought and the same is to be said about outward emotion. While not visibly cold, some might describe her as lukewarm until they get to know the true woman beneath the layers of polite reticence.  +
Brigida Fidante +	Brigida has lived through it, whatever it is. Loss, death, war, love, tragedy, dreams dying aborning, dreams awakening: she's been there. She knows. Her wisdom is cut with no little vinegar. She is fierce and bold behind an iron propriety that has been cultivated with age, and only occasionally is breached to deliberately shock people. Tough, tough-minded, and without compunction about doing what needs done, she is socially extremely perceptive, clever, and can be as manipulative as an entire league of grandmothers working in concert.  +
Briseis Morgan +	Briseis is very much the product of her dual heritage. From her Oathlander father, she learned determination, honor, diligence, fidelity. From her Northerner mother, she learned wit, stubbornness, confidence, and an overabundance of, for lack of a better word, sass. Briseis sparkles: not just with the warmth of an extrovert who enjoys people, but with the keen, determined insight of a sharp mind. Her manner is often light and friendly, even bubbly and effusive at times, but she has a fiercely tempered core of steel to her that comes out in defense of her family, those close to her, and her own ideals and convictions. The fact that her occasional bursts of righteous indignation can sometimes be a bit comical due to her smaller stature and youthful appearance is a continual frustration for her, but her tongue can be so sharp at those moments that people rarely laugh for long.  +
Brogan Nightgold +	Brogan is larger than life: big, roaring laughter, a lusty temperament, and the wild abandonment of a man who refuses to sink into gloom or sadness. When the going gets tough, Brogan finds a new way to go. In the past, when doom and depression threatened him, he embraced an entirely new life philosophy to avoid it. He is his own unique kind of adaptable. He loves drinking, fighting, smashing tables, gambling, screwing, dancing, singing, throwing people into walls, wrestling bears -- well, okay, that was one time -- and generally, being an uproarious and outrageous fellow. There are depths to Brogan and to his passions, but he spends most of his time doing his damnedest to just be one hell of a guy.  +
Bron Aisling +	Generally amiable and happy go lucky, it's when challenged that Bron's competitive streak comes to the fore. A former soldier he is fiercely loyal to those who prove worthy of it but views cowadice as the gravest of sins. While he can work with others he is fiercely self reliant, a useful trait in the wilds of the North.  +
Bruce Valardin +	Bruce was a rowdy child. Despite his rigorous training and studies, he was a big personality, always quick to laugh and have fun. Ambitious, driven, focused. He was an accomplished squire, a talented horseman and a skilled swordsman. The Tragedy and abrupt death of his parents shook him, but he braved it. Shrugged it off, smiled and inspired confidence in his family and friends. He was studious, pious, courageous, exceptionally big and strong. Everything a family could ask for in a young knight. When he rode off to fight for months at a time in the Silent War, Gyre War, or in the countless campaigns against hostile abandoned, it slowly steeled his resolve. He proved himself time and time again in fiery combat. He survived. But it changed him. He became more quiet, reserved, stoic. The smiles came farther and fewer between. After High Hill, Bruce never returned to his former self. He's grizzled, stern, a bit distant. While there's still life to the veteran knight, it takes time to bring it out.  +
Bryndis Nightgold +	A being of pure action, there is no hesitation, no reluctance. She is always focused on the next step, the next improvement, and while much of that can happen through physical action, she doesn't always forget that book knowledge also proves to be helpful. In addition to being goal oriented, she's pleasant, cheerful, and outgoing in a way that matches the rest of her focused drive when she's not lapsing into quiet bouts of melancholy. The changes in behavior from forceful personality to quiet storm cloud can be slow progressions or quick changes, sometimes with nothing explaining why the sudden change.  +
Brynja Blackwood +	Brusque, churlish, rude - or just bitchy, if one doesn't want to bother with propriety - are all attributes friends and foes alike have ascribed to Brynja at some point or another. She is friendly and can hold her drink, too, but she sets high personal standards for herself and doesn't suffer the lamentations of fools easily. She is a fierce protector of her family and friends, even if she doesn't like them much; this is likely to get her into more trouble than anything else in the new world she resides in. Also, she has a fondness for wolves. Who would have guessed?  +
C
Cabrera Godsworn +	Clever and quick, energetic and vivacious, Cabrera's is the kind of charm that can be hard to keep up with. His sass could get him in trouble more often if his smile were less winsome, but his engaging humor and bright eyes are welcoming, inviting, encouraging people to join him in the laugh, whatever it happens to be. More a wordsmith than a prankster, he prefers not to punch 'down', and tries to keep a bright, upbeat approach to life and service, encouraging people to embrace life with both arms. Passion is his watchword, service his focus, and life his reward. While he is a serving priest and serving soldier, he's also a devil-may-care punster, ribald roisterer, and stylish man about town. Turn down no opportunity, leave no stone unturned for what curiosity might reveal beneath, and definitely never leave a party without dancing.  +
Cade none +	Cold and uncaring. These two words couldn't be any more accurate in describing Cade. Having no experience in truly expressing one's self, Cade comes off as someone who is boring and abrupt, due to this, those who have encountered him once usually steer clear. Not that it matters to him for he does not stay in one place for too long. Despite this, Cade's work ethic is commendable, doing odd jobs in the most efficient ways, earning the respect of his short-term employers.  +
Cadenza Fidante +	Cadenza Velenosa is an Adventurer with a capital A, a capital A for alacrity, abandon, audacity, or maybe just awesome. There's some measure of arrogance there, too, of course; but it's not like she doesn't have the public cachet to back that up. She is, after all, a Princess of the Lyceum, and with her sense of timing, she has a measure of patience, a measure of composure, of control -- or maybe has learned to fake composure by raw force of will. It's true that she never saw a swash she didn't want to buckle. Life has gifted her with not so much caution -- who has the time? -- but a sense of timing keyed to a self-preservatory instinct, so that her ambition and her lust for life drive her, but do not rule her. She doesn't charge headlong into trouble; she calculates precise angles of trouble and /then/ sidles obliquely into it, instead. One of nature's gamblers, Cadenza would probably have to admit, if pressed, that she finds risk to be a seductive lure in and of itself.  +

Cadern Blackwood +	Cadern thrives in the cultural mishmosh of Arx. Chameleonic, he has subsumed himself entirely into the role of the playboy man-about-town, progressive and aggressive in his sampling of new things and his embrace of cultures beyond his own. Impish, good-humored and mischevious, he never found a good or bad joke he didn’t like, and he laughs just as much when he is the butt of a prank as when he masterminds one. He is clever and quick, witty and resourceful, and has an uncanny knack for when to use puppy dog eyes to good account. Fast talking, fast walking, with a short attention span that speeds him from interest and hobby to interest and hobby at breakneck speed, he is at home everywhere, and inclined to make friends with everyone. It’s very easy to find him obnoxious and like him anyway.  +
Cadern Ravenseye +	Cadern thrives in the cultural mishmosh of Arx. Chameleonic, he has subsumed himself entirely into the role of the playboy man-about-town, progressive and aggressive in his sampling of new things and his embrace of cultures beyond his own. Impish, good-humored and mischevious, he never found a good or bad joke he didn’t like, and he laughs just as much when he is the butt of a prank as when he masterminds one. He is clever and quick, witty and resourceful, and has an uncanny knack for when to use puppy dog eyes to good account. Fast talking, fast walking, with a short attention span that speeds him from interest and hobby to interest and hobby at breakneck speed, he is at home everywhere, and inclined to make friends with everyone. It’s very easy to find him obnoxious and like him anyway.  +
Caelis Malvici +	Caelis is an iquisitive and thoughtful woman. She favors activity, being in motion is much more preferable to being decoration and sitting around. She craves challenge and adventure, wanting to see, try, feel new things. Her temper is slow to build, but once she snaps, it's unforgiving. She can hold grudges for years with out a thought.  +
Caelis Valardin +	Caelis is an iquisitive and thoughtful woman. She favors activity, being in motion is much more preferable to being decoration and sitting around. She craves challenge and adventure, wanting to see, try, feel new things. Her temper is slow to build, but once she snaps, it's unforgiving. She can hold grudges for years with out a thought.  +
Caera Tortorici +	Witty and fiesty, she may be small but she is made sure she is heard. Loyal to a fault to those she is dedicated to, she is focused on work she has taken on. She can be curious and playful, still not having been jaded by the cruelty of life. As friendly as she is, it is somewhat an outer facade. She is distrustful of outsiders but uses her smile to watch behind.  +
Caerdroc Woodbine +	Quiet but passionate, Caerdroc is a man of long silences but deep warmth. His loyalties run very deep and pure, yet there is a whisper of the tragic to him. Where he was once a faithful and religious man, now he goes to shrines plagued by doubt and uncertainty, with questions he does not know how to ask. He fights loyally for the Bislands but his personal history is such that he cannot but recognize the humanity of their foe. Bound by honor, love and history, Caerdroc stands in the center of a web of connection that makes his daughter's well-being entirely paramount, and forces him out of what might be his comfort zone and into a world that requires socialization and growth. That said, for all that Caerdroc is at his most peaceful in the quiet woods surrounded by animals and not people, his love of the woods is an expansive, open-hearted love, and leads him to wish to share it, spread it, and make it known. He fights out of duty and passion, but in his heart, he prefers an absence of violence, and would love nothing better than to create a world for the next generation where no one would ever need to nock arrow to bow. (Fat chance of that, but ... you know.)  +
Cahal Blackram +	Cahal's a man of layers. Outside the family, amongst those he's not really sure about, he's an outgoing, boisterous and rather loud man with a penchant for telling unbelievable stories. Everyones friend he's quick to laugh, hard to anger and oftentimes viewed as being interested in nothing but the pleasures of the moment. But his loved ones get to see more. Behind the bluster there is reliable man with a deep deep core of loyalty and a willingness to go through hell for his kin. Patient, with a critical eye that catches a lot of details others would miss, he has the ability to play a long game.  +
Cahal Lyonesse +	Cahal's a man of layers. Outside the family, amongst those he's not really sure about, he's an outgoing, boisterous and rather loud man with a penchant for telling unbelievable stories. Everyones friend he's quick to laugh, hard to anger and oftentimes viewed as being interested in nothing but the pleasures of the moment. But his loved ones get to see more. Behind the bluster there is reliable man with a deep deep core of loyalty and a willingness to go through hell for his kin. Patient, with a critical eye that catches a lot of details others would miss, he has the ability to play a long game.  +
Cai Falken +	Gruff and aloof, Cai is a man who prefers the great outdoors to confines of city life. A man of means, anything he's needed, he's done by barter and trading, living off nature and the woods. While he might be rough around the edges and having to live in a city has done nothing for that, he's at the very least someone dependable, even if most of his opinions are laced with a certain degree of sarcasm. He's practical, and while he'll offer a helping hand, it doesn't mean he won't grouse a bit for having to do so.  +
Cailean Grimes +	Cailean is the quiet and introspective type but that doesn't mean he's unfriendly or terribly serious; it's exactly the opposite. Once you crack the exterior, you will find a friendly and witty man who just so happens to be a great listener.  +
Cain Crown +	Cain has embraced the streets and in a way, treats the Lower Boroughs as his little playground. It's a dangerous playground, and he is aware of it. But that danger has its appeal, and Cain doesn't shy away from throwing himself right in the middle of things if he thinks it worth it. Caution is not his strongest suit. He is generally easygoing, and a great drinking partner, until he's not. When angry, he can be quite brutal and cruel in his treatment of others. While his fortune telling started as a way to get by, it's become a point of pride for him. He enjoys it when others come to him for advice, or trinkets to guarantee good fortune. He often claims fortune is his mistress, and when confronted about his own status in life, he quickly dismisses it as it being his choice.  +
Caith Thrax +	There is an unassuming energy about Caith, a warm, vivacious outpouring of herself into her surroundings that, despite her occasional forays into the fantastical or strange and a tendency to occasionally take metaphors really just too far, makes it difficult not to like her at least a little bit. Imaginative, creative and deeply generous, Caith's passion for life, for story and for a general, optimistic embrace of common humanity makes her a lively addition to most social situations. She wants adventure and romance, although to be clear, not too much romance, because she doesn't want to be tied down. She wants to be free to see the world. She wants to help people, and to give away more than she gets, but also not to give away too much, because she recognizes that it costs money to outfit an expedition, and to keep a girl in books she hasn't read. There is an elegance to her, a freewheeling grace, a lure that is hard to resist.  +
Caius Valardin +	Caius is intelligent, commanding and deeply loyal. It was his loyalty to his wife that saw him step away from the world when he lost her and it was that same loyalty, this time to house, that brought him back. As for the brashness and anger of youth, it finds occasional purchase in the man he is now, though a more thoughtful approach to the ties between people, houses and duty shape his actions in maturity. Since the loss of his wife, he struggles to navigate his own sense of duty and honor, often using it to set boundaries about himself even as he looks to re-engage the world.  +
Calandra Culler +	Calandra loves to be loved. She loves to watch the faces of those that hear her sing, and soak up their adoration and praise. She has more than a little pride, but it's tempered with actually enjoying to entertain people. It's a symbiotic relationship that the songstress revels in. She loves the dirt and grit of the lower boroughs, partly because of how she outshines it, but partly because there is such character and greatness within its alleys. It's home, for better or worse. Certainly, she loves the beautiful fashions of the nobility, but not so much that she wants to be one. People are free in the dirty streets, to truly be who they are meant to be. Calandra can't bear the thought of being without that freedom, as she is determined to discover her destiny.  +
Calarian Grayson +	In a family of adventurers, it's not that Calarian doesn't fit, it's just that his particular excitement draws him in a slightly different direction than exploring ruins or swashbuckling through the forest: Calarian explores people. In familiar company, he is prone to a certain dry wit and humor, but he has a knack for finding a comfortable slot to fill with all variety of people, which made his calling to diplomacy clear from a young age. He does not yearn to dirty himself in outdoor exploration, but he's not bothered; above all, Calarian adapts to what the situation requires of him. He absorbs the cultures of others readily, finding fascination with all the differences and similarities, which lets him find ready common ground. He is patient, perceptive, and difficult to offend, despite his precise, impeccable etiquette; he may make high demands of the behavior of those in his house, but it is because he understands the intricacies and importance of the dance of manners. His loyalty to his house and his family is unwavering -- as is his belief in their place as rulers of the Compact.  +

Calathane Drumenach +	Stoic and calm, but in the eyes rest the gleam of the hunter.  +
Calaudrin Estardes +	Calaudrin has seen some shit. He's seen your shit, their shit, and most importantly, he's seen his own shit. He's not interested in it. He's got a good balance of aggressive competence and world-weary snark that allows him to approach the world with the kind of perspective that one of nature's watchmen needs. There are a few things that are core to his worldview: if you're running away, he's chasing you, probably because you're running away. If there's a nasty problem that he can't get to the bottom of, the reason he can't get to the bottom of it probably has to do with money; he is leery of corruption and skeptical about its absence. He is honest to a fault and will speak truth to power because he lacks the patience to do otherwise. He is reliable and steady but holds a healthy dose of personal caution that sometimes (not infrequently) fails to overbear his native stubbornness. He is pathologically incapable of letting go once he lets something take hold of him. He's really bad with relationships because it's not so much that he loves his job as that he finds it impossible to escape from it. He does his best work in the middle of the night. He probably drinks too much, because see above about all that shit he's seen.  +
Calevaro Stars +	Calevaro is, at heart, a generous person. He cares about other people's problems and always tries to aleviate their pain. He tends not to judge people based on their social position, preferring to let their atitudes show who they really are. He's alsso quick to feel anger, tough he tries not to let his emotions guide his actions.  +
Caliban Assacu +	While he's certainly happy to voice his opinions when whim takes him, Caliban tends toward an easy, relaxed demeanor. At times it can even be a bit irritating, as he's cheerfully committed to being cheerfully uncommitted; even with matters he takes seriously, it's rare for him to maintain any level of solemnity for long. His temper doesn't rise often, and when it does, it's usually a brief little flame, quickly snuffed. Usually. Usually.  +
Calista Fidante +	Wild and passionate, living for the moment and thinking later on consequences, Calista was a nightmare for her many, many tutors trying to impress the need for propriety and restraint upon the infectiously charming young noblewoman. It's not that she doesn't understand the implications for scandal or how 'bad' behavior can horrify the oh-so-proper well heeled members of the Peerage, she simply feels if none of them know how to enjoy themselves it is hardly her problem and that if she makes a few elderly stuffy dukes drop dead in apoplexy from witnessing libertine behavior then perhaps Arx will be better for it. Still, she's more reserved (by her standards) around her far social superiors that could actually inflict real consequences upon her. She enjoys finding out where the limits lay, and just how close she can get to the line without crossing it.  +
Calla Vaevici +	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.  +
Calliope Grimhall +	Somewhat shy until comfortable, and yet, with a core of steel, she's not a doormat.  +
Calypso Malvici +	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.  +
Cambria Mazetti +	A Thraxian might call her tempestuous. An Oathlander wilful. Those of the Lyceum have their own words and phrases which are best not repeated here. All that is to say Cambria is neither meek nor timid, and despite her smaller stature, she is unafraid to stand up for herself and speak her mind. Cambria can also appear aloof, even distant, leaving others to assume she is without concern or care. Time spent in her company, however, reveals a woman who is actually quite attentive.  +
Camilla Pravus +	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.  +
Canaan Savantis +	Somewhat reserved or quiet to those who are not counted among his friends but not uncaring as one may easily mistake. There are some topics or issues which can bring a much more vocal and assertive side of him to the surface. The bustle of crowds is not something he seems to be fond of. His trust can be hard to gain but just as hard to lose. He may seem cynical but seems to want to believe people are acting with good intentions but has often been disappointed.  +
Candace Corvo +	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.  +
Candido Orata +	There's a push-and-pull of conflicting passions in Candido's nature that, somehow, the Faith and knighthood have helped him reconcile. Kind of. He's excited by the change afoot in this age of Arvum but has seen the tragic cost of it, and longs to protect Gild's best old works while being a part of new ones. He seeks joy in all corners of life that he can, including indulging arguably dumb cheap thrills sometimes, but longs to live in a way that serves something more than hollow pleasures. He does his best, even when that best is highly imperfect. He tries to make it work.  +
Cantus Crown +	Though not without a sense of good cheer, Cantus tends towards the grumbly. It'd probably be hard to like him, if his biting wit wasn't usually directed at himself, or if he didn't seem entirely sincere in his desire to help. The world might be a dark place, full of dark things, but Cantus would damn himself before letting that extinguish hope.  +
Capri De Lire +	Confident incarnate and blessed with a terribly morbid sense of humour, he has a strong sense of honour - if by honour, you mean self-preservation, and by self-preservation, you also mean he likes money. A mercenary through and through, Capri is the type of Lycene who will pragmatically stab someone in the back for his own advancement, but is the staunchest of allies when it is preferable. He enjoys the finer things, and he loves to laugh, but he'll come down on someone that's betrayed his family with utter and complete wrath when it's guaranteed it can be done in one swoop. He likes to drink.  +
Caprice Artiglio +	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 -- 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.  +

Caras Wyrmguard +	Kind and compassionate as one would expect a godsworn of Gild to be, Caras turned to a life of charity and fellowship at a young age. Open-hearted, generous, giving, and passionate, he dedicates himself to the common people of the Compact and Arx in particular. Long years of travel have given him a broad perspective of each of the lands of the kingdom and he is an empathetic man intent on putting the lessons of faith, charity, and prosperity to use every day.  +
Carilova Nowak +	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.  +
Carissa Malespero +	A pretty redhead who quietly relishes being put into her place as kindly as she was by life and her new family's kindness. Her former anger has mostly dropped away, left with a bewildered woman trying to figure out who and what she is in the grand scheme of things. Fiery under the surface, it rarely comes out. She's got a sunny disposition most days, but has hidden from her anger in shyness. It's something she's eager to break, but this new world she's navigating is frightening to her.  +
Carita Darkwater +	These are the priorities In Carita's life: family, fashion, and friends - and her possessiveness of these factors are absolute. She strives to take care of her Lower Burroughs family as well as her noble family, aware that she started from this less than desirable social status. She will work even harder to ensure that she never returns there. She is determined to be more than her common upbringing. Because of this dichotomy, she is a woman that doesn't see the world in shades of grey: merely in black and white. Haves and have nots. Needs and wants. Beneath the icy facade is a woman of intense passions that burn. If not for the self-possessed refinement she learned while training to be a courtier, this anger would certainly consume her and everyone around her.  +
Carmen Harol +	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 Squallborn +	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 Cross +	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.  +
Casimir Acheron +	As a younger child, Casimir was indulged too much in his youth to make him entirely responsible as a man. He's ... better. He's bright, and what's worse is that he has known that since he is very young. He's driven by his curiosity, and occasionally makes the sometimes audible mistake of assuming that this all makes him better than everyone else around him. Attempts to inculcate in him a sense of responsibility for those less fortunate have met with middling success. He certainly believes he knows what's best for them, and does his best to strive for it.  +
Caspian Artiglio +	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.  +
Caspian Ru'Taul +	Caspian is a cocktail of bright and dark, layer upon layer of glitter and glitz over a deeper uncertainty.

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.

Caspian Wild +	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.

He feeds off the energy of life and shines with it.  +
Cassandra Laurent +	The first word that encompasses Cassandra Laurent is passion. She is driven, fierce and unyielding, with a will as strong as her jawline. Her faith is unshakable and her demeanor is one of cool reserve, brushed with irony. A private person by nature with whose reserve conceals a depth of quiet idealism, Cassandra is a woman of deep personal strength and occasional, obscured insecurity. Her sense of personal honor exists, but it is subservient her sense of service to a higher cause. Her sense of humor doubles as a finely honed sense of the ridiculous, often encompassed by little more than the quirk of a sardonic eyebrow, but she shields from view a deep inner romantic that, very occasionally, can make itself known in small, private ways.  +
Cassia Mercier +	Thoughtful and yet disinterested. Cassia is no great charmer but neither is she some great intellect. She is no crazed dreamer. No stoic warrior. She is a quiet, pensive woman with a changeable attitude most of the time. Prone to lapsing into thoughtful silence, and obsessing over her work she is not the most social of women. A touch mercurial she leans toward quiet and taciturn with the occasional bright spots of merriment or temper.  +
Cassian Crovane +	A merry widower, rakish and flirtatious without being serious, he's a fierce defender of his crew and his family. Cassian is the sort that will joke and jest, even at sea, but when things grow serious, he's becomes grave and severe. He knows the sea, and often jokes that he's remarried to it. When he's on land, he tries to be the sort of noble that a commoner could come to with a concern without being an embarassment to his wedded family.  +
Cassim Sanna +	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.  +
Cassima Thrax +	The social whirl is not where Cassima shines most. That isn't to say that she is incapable of communicating, but she tends towards a wry, quirky sort of humor that does not always make it easy for her. She has a bit of a tendency to withhold where she should reach out and to overshare when she should remain restrained, the kind of social awkwardness that develops from a childhood spent too much in books and too little in the companionship of other children. Yet her warmth and her loyalty are deep wells, and once tapped, should never run dry. Pragmatic and inclined to simple, honest, and occasionally self-deprecating self-assessment, there is never a risk that her arrogance would chase off anyone -- except perhaps in one area and that is the area of scholarship. Yet in this one area that Cassima does not second-guess herself, her excellence is real. A clever writer, witty jokester, ready humorist and boon companion once those initial layers of uncertainty and awkwardness have been surpassed, Cassima is anchored to reality by her grounded nature and tries not to be overly troubled by her essential layers deep human loneliness, because doesn't everyone have that? She loves to watch people and imagine their stories for herself. She enjoys complicated problem solving and mathematics. She is fascinated by questions of philosophy and politics.  +
Cassimir Inverno +	While most feel a prismatic spectrum of emotions, Cassimir feels only in a range of limited monochrome. It makes it infinitely more difficult for him to read and understand gestures and microexpressions based on emotion, such as the pout of a woman's lips, or the crease of a man's brow. He relies almost entirely upon interpretation of speech over the suggestion of body language. Words uttered are words meant; Euphemism and innuendo hold little meaning. As such, he goes to great lengths to engage in casual conversation with particularly expressive individuals, and really prefers the company of those who speak in a forthcoming fashion. It may be evident, after only a short time speaking with him, that he is well-acquainted with the rules of social etiquette, which lends itself as a boon to him in times of uncertainty. When in doubt, rely upon the power of an eloquent apology, and try again. Over the years, this man has pushed his pursuit of academia to the extreme, in that he is betimes stumbling into situations and experiences that are beyond his ken. The bittersweet temptation of acquiring knowledge for knowledge’s sake may result in great achievement, or his untimely demise. Only time will tell.  +
Cassiopeia Leporidae +	Being on the level of local legends and myths despite your own reservations can lead one to develop a most interesting assortment of traits. Ambivalent to the ways of the nobility and her own reputation, Cassiopeia has done her best to redeem herself in the eyes of her peers as a wanderer with no sense of responsibility. Her intellect is hard to rival and many times she walks circles around those who try verbally sparring with her or otherwise attempting to impress or overawe. She is sensible and gracious despite her initial reluctance to engage in social environments. Her balance of humor, wit, charisma, approachability and attentiveness all seem quite counter to the expected shallowness that most come to expect of a woman so renowned which lead many to describe her as magnetic.  +

Cassiopeia Vaevici +	Being on the level of local legends and myths despite your own reservations can lead one to develop a most interesting assortment of traits. Ambivalent to the ways of the nobility and her own reputation, Cassiopeia has done her best to redeem herself in the eyes of her peers as a wanderer with no sense of responsibility. Her intellect is hard to rival and many times she walks circles around those who try verbally sparring with her or otherwise attempting to impress or overawe. She is sensible and gracious despite her initial reluctance to engage in social environments. Her balance of humor, wit, charisma, approachability and attentiveness all seem quite counter to the expected shallowness that most come to expect of a woman so renowned which lead many to describe her as magnetic.  +
Cassius Nightgold +	Where Duke Neddim Nightgold was artistic and poetic, his son Cassius finds beauty in the balance of a blade, and calm in the Pantheon. Calm is an abstract in Cassius' mind however, as his thoughts tend toward the black. There is a deep anger that abides in Cassius, for the father that seemingly walked out on his family, for the backwards-thinking shav'arvani that killed his brother, for the unforgiving nature of life that takes so much from him, offering so little in return. He has his faith however, and he keeps a tight hold on it, for fear of the downward spiral that comes of losing his grip, and the disastrous repercussions that follow.  +
Cassius Pravus +	Where Duke Neddim Nightgold was artistic and poetic, his son Cassius finds beauty in the balance of a blade, and calm in the Pantheon. Calm is an abstract in Cassius' mind however, as his thoughts tend toward the black. There is a deep anger that abides in Cassius, for the father that seemingly walked out on his family, for the backwards-thinking shav'arvani that killed his brother, for the unforgiving nature of life that takes so much from him, offering so little in return. He has his faith however, and he keeps a tight hold on it, for fear of the downward spiral that comes of losing his grip, and the disastrous repercussions that follow.  +
Castiel Thrax +	Cunning and pragmatic  +
Castinus Blackshore +	Fashioning himself a consummate gentleman, Castinus presents himself on the surface as a gentleman, to a fault. Courtesy and respect, perhaps in excess, belies a certain predatory cunning that exists within the ice of his eyes. Everything that he does seems to come with a practiced ease, and comfortability in ones own skin. Well-spoken and eloquent, there's still much of Castinus that he guards fiercely behind so very many honeyed words or cordial gestures. Above all, he holds those with a mind as inquisitive as his own in the highest regard. Individuals that enjoy digging deeper beyond simply shallow interests, and those that seek answers even when they aren't presented with questions first.  +
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 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 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.  +
Catalina Rossi +	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.  +
Cato Corsetina +	A guarded, pragmatic fellow, Cato can sometimes come off rather blunt. He speaks simply, and prefers relative solitude; he openly detests group meetings, preferring to meet one-to-one. Nevertheless, his manner is kind and generally well-meaning. Avarice does tend to edge his speech, and he approaches honesty as more of a luxury than a necessity; to him, telling the truth is fine when it's convenient, but foolish when it's not. This attitude often leads to him being skeptical of other's assertions in kind, and while his enquiries are often penetrating, he is loath to do more than pay lip service to all but the most accepted "truths".  +
Catriona Thrax +	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.  +
Cecilia Kennex +	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.  +
Cecilli Blackwood +	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 Grisni +	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 Primm +	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.  +
Celeste Pravus +	Most of the time, Celeste is perfectly kind and reasonable, acting as a proper Lady (for Lyceum definitions of such). It's not until she's TOLD what to do that any of this changes. And then? If one is being kind, then "willful" is the best way to describe Celeste. If one is being honest, contrary and rebellious can also have their place. Celeste has an urge to fight back against the status quo when it's pointed out to her, and chafes against restrictions when they're spoken aloud. If it were left up to her, Celeste would tell everyone else what to do and never told what to do herself. Yet for all of that, she's surprisingly... unambitious.  +
Celine Valardin +	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 Ferrier +	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.  +
Cerelia Pontelaeus +	Distant and somewhat aloof, Cerelia is as likeable as any of the Pontelaeus family. There is just something about her that seems somewhat distant, as if she is always looking for something. Possessing a mild temper and as easy to smile as to frown, she is most happy when she has something to occupy her mind, lest she become restless.  +
Cerys Velenosa +	Intensity is the name of the game. Its not that she's incapable of laughter or cheer, more that anything she does she does 110%. She doesn't seem to possess an 'off' switch, even her times of quiet seem intently focused. Whether drinking, fighting, carousing, or studying, she throws all of herself into the activity.  +
Cesare Whisper +	Dreamy and mild-tempered, Cesare makes good company for just about anyone, though he has an unshakable courage (and a bit of a snarky streak) beneath all that aloof geniality. His position as a Whisper has helped him embrace his sometimes biting wit, as he knows as long as he maintains the proper decorum he is somewhat protected by the order. Jealous young baronsons accosting him in an alley and trying to beat him up aren't really a problem, anymore. Gentle snark aside, Cesare is a young man who finds it hard to focus on the people around him when he's performing, or at large gatherings, but one on one? He is reminded of the beauty that is the wonder of creation in every unique individual. His good looks are undeniable, but his charm, the way he can sometimes focus so intently on one person that they feel they are the most interesting thing in the world? It makes him irresistable.  +
Chanse Grayhope +	Some violent people have a rage that makes others quail in fear. Chanse doesn't need such displays. Sure, he gets mad, but he skips the bluster and goes right to violence. He brooks no slights against his interests, and responds swiftly and decidedly, ending problems before they get out of hand. His sense of morality is grey at best, and he usually values everything above human life. He?s a scoundrel, a wicked man, but he?s far from evil. He?s simply ruthless, violent, and does not distinguish one man or woman from another. He holds no true biases, but sees everyone equally - equally a mark, an enemy, and someone he may have to kill one day. He chooses to enjoy his life, rather than be a victim, and he's very, very good at it.  +
Charis Durant +	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.  +
Charlaine Blanchard +	Shy, kind-hearted and introverted Charlaine is far more interested in the idealized world of fantasy, epic tales and bard songs than the drab reality of politics. She'd think that would let her stay out of trouble, but it seems like the cold world won't really just leave her be to her beloved stories however much she'd want to avoid arguments. Though, because of that same passion for literature, Lady Charlaine Blanchard can reveal a sharply incisive mind and a deep well of passion on the rare subject that truly captivates her interest and drags her back to reality.  +
Charlaine Moore +	Shy, kind-hearted and introverted Charlaine is far more interested in the idealized world of fantasy, epic tales and bard songs than the drab reality of politics. She'd think that would let her stay out of trouble, but it seems like the cold world won't really just leave her be to her beloved stories however much she'd want to avoid arguments. Though, because of that same passion for literature, Lady Charlaine Blanchard can reveal a sharply incisive mind and a deep well of passion on the rare subject that truly captivates her interest and drags her back to reality.  +
Charlemagne Charon +	Although Charlemagne did consider his former match with the Countess a kindness, the fact remains that he and Magaen were hardly very well acquainted until relatively recently. Warm and nurturing with a temper only when the right buttons are pushed, it's Charlemagne's fear that he will be regarded in House Charon as the lingering unwelcome reminder of the familial feud that his arrival coincided with. A proud Lord of the Oathlands standing tall against a backdrop of wild-willed northerners, Charlemagne is consistently having his sensibilities tested. That his new family is now to play guardian to a shamanistic religious site is of particular concern to the orthodox knight. It's for the sake of his family's position that he perseveres to embody patience and the greatest chivalrous tact in the face of this, the f***ing unthinkable.  +
Charles Valardin +	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 Wyrmguard +	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.  +
Cherilo Menada +	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.  +
Chiara Tavetti +	Adventurous, friendly, and curious, Chiara is more than happy to try something just for the experience. Likewise, she's equally happy to listen to a good yarn. While the less charitable would call her indecisive or easily bored, should something capture her interest she can be a hard worker, and has been gifted with a sharp mind and wit.  +
Christine Kennex +	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...  +
Chrysanthia Chatreuxe-DeVirre +	Whimsical, eccentric and mad like her mother and her grandmother, the Baroness Hope. Most people would sum her up like so but the budding knight is more than that, she is compassionate and gentle souled. Easy to get along with and yet possessing of a deep, ageless wisdom that makes her seem so very old. Every now and then she is possessing of a certain trickster's playfulness but it is never capricious and always with the intent to cheer. Yet her pranks -have- most -definitely- gotten on the very last nerves of her friends and family. People who know her very well will often say that she is harder to understand than her plants but boy is she a bucket of fun and weird. Very weird; in the well meaning kind of way. Bless her little sylvan soul.  +
Ciaphas Seraceni +	Vain, self-centered, perpetually bored. This Eurus seems to enjoy nothing better than to bask and be left enough alone. While not above going to galas and balls, his main interest seems to be watching the Champions and the odd Duels that occur in public. His activity only seems to peak when near naval vessels or the odd shopping-spree, where he has found ample time to divulge in a hobby outside of boats or warfare -- clothing. With the changes of seasons so different than to what he was accustomed too comes new fashions, materials and styles.  +
Ciara Wyrmguard +	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.  +
Ciaran Farshaw +	Confident, sometimes to excess, Ciaran has the devil-may-care attitude of someone who lives life exactly the way he wants to, on the schedule that best suits him. He doesn't have much patience for rules and procedures, and he's not going to sit around at a boring function if there's more interesting things to be done elsewhere. For all that, though, he is very polite and has a strong sense of honor and fair play. His sense of humor is extremely dry, and he's not the sort to shy away from confrontation, be it on the battlefield or in a ballroom. In fact, he might be just a little too competitive.  +
Cicero Malvici +	Friendly Schemer  +
Cicero Velenosa +	Friendly Schemer  +
Cigano Laroye +	Cigano is the living embodiment of suave. He speaks with a smooth and deep voice that brings comfort to those who have experienced lost. He has a soft spot for children always ensuring that they are taken care of, though he sees some people as less than people based on some incredibly complicated moral code. He has a keen awareness and an air of mysticism to him.  +
Cillian Blackwood +	Cillian grew up learning the ways of the wild. He grew up with a tribe named Weathewood, knowing very little of the compact as he stayed out in the woods with his adopted family and tribe protecting the woods and fighting off monsters to keep his village safe, coming to Arx for the first time he seems very guarded.  +
Cillian Weatherwood +	Cillian grew up learning the ways of the wild. He grew up with a tribe named Weathewood, knowing very little of the compact as he stayed out in the woods with his adopted family and tribe protecting the woods and fighting off monsters to keep his village safe, coming to Arx for the first time he seems very guarded.  +
Cirdan Halfshav +	As might be expected from a scion of the North and South, Cirdan is a man of contrasts. Where one might expect clashes, however, his different natures instead serve to complement each other to create something greater than the sum of his parts. Charming and seductive, there is a warmth to him that proves particularly appealing, a playful nature that tempts towards reckless decisions and actions. Yet should one pay heed, they would note that for all that might be encouraged, Cirdan remains in control of his own passions, a cool mastery of self underlying the laughter and smiles. It comes to the fore when duty calls and his mind, long since grown expert in matters of diplomacy and law, is on full display. Thus are remarkable insight and sharp intelligence revealed and, rather than conflict with the charmer of before, serve to elevate him. Neither one nor the other, but both, as befits the dual nature of Halfshav.  +
Ciriel Whitehawk +	Curious, odd at times, but generally merry and kind-hearted. When his goal is set, his eyes look past or through things that stand in his way, but otherwise a very engaged conversationalist. His intrigue for rare items usually steers the conversation in the direction of his search for new additions to his collection, with an almost childlike fascination for toys.  +
Ciro Seraceni +	He is a risk taker at his core, and wagers of all kinds thrill him. His moods swing with his fortunes. When he's bust, he's anxious, fast-talking with the sharp edge of desperation to all his actions. When he's flush, he is all charm and confidence, gregarious and generous with coin and compliments. Whatever his circumstances, he is a man who enjoys life, as even when he's low, he never seems to doubt that he's just one risky wager away from Fortune's favor.  +
Cirroch Sanna +	Cirroch has a bullish nature, grounded but vital. He has a talent for filling a room merely by entering it, with deep, resonant volume and ready eloquence to the command of his tongue. He can be stubborn, he can be proud, and he can have a temper on him. Nothing infuriates him more than being deceived, unless it is being denied action where he thinks action ought to be took. He has a pragmatist's steadiness behind his grand gestures, though, that helps keep his life running smoothly. There are ways that simplicity defines Cirroch's greatest desires. He loves women who can fight him, whiskey that burns on the way down, fast horses and smart dogs.  +
Clara Crovane +	Clara is a curious young woman with a wild side. She loves to be adrenalized, she loves a good fight, a good swim, or a nice climb... whatever gives her the rush that comes with moving her body or taking risks. She also enjoys helping people because while she is curious about death she doesn't feel the need to kill things herself or watch people suffer. She just seeks to understand that grand happening in life that all eventually must meet. What does death mean for those still alive and where do people really go when they die?  +
Clarisse Charon +	Clarisse has been brought up to help others and the best way she is able to do this as a healer, comforter, and confidant that others can trust. She has worked side by side learning the ways of healing for as long as she can remember, and will work tirelessly to save even those who others believe to be a lost cause.  +
Claude +	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.  +
Claude Crucible +	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.  +
Claudia Malespero +	There is a lot of personality tucked into a neat little package. Charming almost to a fault, she's never met someone that she hasn't attempted to charm, and if the first effort doesn't work that just means that she'll try harder the second time. It could be argued that she never takes a thing in the world seriously, but the reality is that when it comes to business she is nothing but serious even if it might be hidden beneath a friendly demeanor. Every aspect of her dealings with others are conducted by a strict code of behavior, and she is always true to her word. Even if that is detrimental to her own wants and needs.  +
Cleo Frost +	All her life Cleo has grown up never fitting in and the odd things that always happened around her created an incredible curiosity that was very unlike the other Children of the Sun. She was a solitary person in a highly regimented group. Not that she didn't learn how to perform her duties she was always simply distracted. Now that she has found her place and completed her apprenticeship with those who Walk Inbetween she has become a confident young woman who is intelligent and perceptive. She is ever curious about everything and she chases rumor and knowledge with abandon. She is confident in herself and unafraid of the world around her even though she knows little of the ways of Arx being a Prodigal. Everything is wondrous and new and she has a near child like enthusiasm.  +
Clover Farshaw +	Clover is a young woman of broad smiles and hapless positivity. She's entirely too clumsy but at ease with it. She's full of laughter and bright smiles. Rarely does anything bring her down. Even if she's just ruined another dress, or lost her shoe to a mud puddle-- nothing gets her down.  +
Clover Wyrmguard +	Clover is a young woman of broad smiles and hapless positivity. She's entirely too clumsy but at ease with it. She's full of laughter and bright smiles. Rarely does anything bring her down. Even if she's just ruined another dress, or lost her shoe to a mud puddle-- nothing gets her down.  +
Cocine Arcuri +	A woman of dualities, she tends to keep her private life just that while showing a smile and warm welcome in public. She enjoys a good drink and a good story but can likewise wax intellectual at the drop of a hat about her favorite subjects. Still young enough to live vicariously through the exploits of others, she draws much of her inspiration from the tales carried to her by her customers.  +
Col Steelhart +	First and foremost Col is driven to succeed. It expresses itself in his natural charisma and his thirst for knowledge. He is a vociferous reader but for all his charm he prefers the quiet over the hustle and bustle of large social gatherings. That drive also makes him focus on one thing to the exclusion of all other related things. If he is learning a new skill, he learns it until he has mastered it. A new project will consume him until it is finished. A book will be read in a single sitting if possible. When he must be social he is charming and gregarious but will always prefer the company of a small group of friends.  +
Cole Farago +	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.  +
Colette Laurent +	Quiet. Soft Spoken. Shy. Sheltered. Innocent to a fault. These are all easy words to use to describe her at a distance. Despite growing up in a very privalaged position, (being the youngest of a ducal line, no one expecting her to really have to do much), She has turned out quite reserved, and very conservative for a young lady of her age. She is no nonesense, and quite dry, and sometimes that might even appear on the unfriendly side, but she never acts that way out of mallice that is just who she is. Kind when she needs to be, and stern when appropriate, it is not impossible to get a smile from her, but it is very rare. She has even been known to crack a joke or two, but most would likely mistake it for a simple observation.... Poor girl at least thinks it is a joke.  +
Conall Redrain +	Reserved and not given to excesses, Conall tends to measure everything by its effectiveness and practicality. Pragmatism is the credo by which he lives his life, and while the gods and spirits are given their perfunctory due, he doesn't concern himself with religious matters much past that. Neither overly polite nor rude, Conall probably wouldn't stand out in a crowd much if it wasn't for his dry sense of humor, imposing form - and watchful eyes. Despite his lukewarm feelings towards matters spiritual, there's a strong sense of pride in the Northlands and an abiding faith in the Compact.  +
Conrad Drayton +	Having seen what discipline and training can do for a military unit, Conrad makes no apologies to his units for being a relentless hardass when it comes to drilling. Off duty, the man is still stern, but mainly as an example to live up to, not as an abusive slavedriver. Not much of a drinker, Conrad prefers other diversions off-duty... thought he is fine with lightweight stuff on vacation.  +
Constance Redrain +	Frigid, aloof, distant, and regarded as something of a disciplinarian, Constance shares many similarities to the character of her native northlands. However, while those are wild and free, she has cultivated a dignified and regal attitude toward the world. Despite her cold and sometimes inhospitable demeanor, she cultivates a garden of warm secrets that she keeps from all but her dearest and most trusted companions. One of her more open-secrets is a deep-seated fondness for encouraging personal growth, learning, and perfection, and a desire to find it in the most unlikely of places.  +
Constantine Kennex +	While topically Constantine appears to be of an easy placidity, behind those pale eyes rages all the passion of the tempestuous sea. His pride and stubborn nature are often mistaken for qualities of ambitious youth, but when a closer look is taken it seems that bullheaded nature clearly is motivated by the well-being of his people and dedication to family. Outside of matters of Stormward, Connie maintains a diplomatic approach to most day-to-day conflicts. As a counselor, he finds listening to be a far superior skill than that of oration leaving the man a quiet observer in the storm of life.  +
Cora Ulbran +	Fierce, independent, with a wicked sense of humour, Cora's life focus has always been on "what's in it for us". Loyal to the core when she accepts a friendship she will go to the end of the earth to help a friend. But it takes a while for trust to build, to get past the quick humoured, spark edged persona.  +
Coraline Thrax +	Put a sword in Cora's hand and she is confident, comfortable, and joyful -- just one of the guys! She is doggedly determined: when she sets her sights on something, there is little that can stop her. Unwaveringly loyal once her trust has been earned, she is a steadfast and true friend. She's brave without being unnecessarily reckless, doesn't seek glory for glory's sake and would never leave a man behind. And despite her rejection of Thrax's views on proper female life, Cora is actually very Thraxian: a sailor and a warrior, somber in a face of battle, proud of her Thraxian heritage and abilities on the battlefield -- be them land or sea. Around the men of Thrax, she might take extra pains to prove her worth; she will never complain, never give up, never back down. Take the sword away though? Aaaaaawkward. She does enjoy the occasional party but she's definitely out of her element there. Cora certainly tries her best but those kind of occasions have her treading water just to keep her head above the surface in the deep end. She finds the politics of social maneuvering to be utterly confusing and cannot make small talk to save her life. Cora is perpetually overly honest in those scenarios, and has embarrassed herself in the courtly social scene more than once.  +
Corban Telmar +	A paragon of the Oathlanders' sense of nobility and honor, Lord Corban Telmar often gives the impression that he's seen much of the world and the people therein. An Oathlander knight through and through, he believes resolutely in the responsibility of the strong to defend the weak. The man approaches everything he does with an evident passion, whether it's leading men into the din of battle, or enjoying a a drink at the bar following a day of training. He's dependable, loyal, and brave. A soldier's soldier.  +
Corbit Leary +	Corbit is almost unfailingly kind, polite and insightful. That is, when he takes the time to think about being any of these things. Truth is, his mind is usually in several different places at once, at times he is rude, too blunt or even can seem uncaring. But it's rarely because he means to be, he just has bigger things to think about. He is normally fairly reserved and quiet with a quick, wry sense of humor that shows up now and again. His quietness and reservation simply fade away once he begins talking about one of his many and varied interests that he can talk about, excitedly and passionately for extended periods of time. Show a bit of interest and you may be subjecting yourself to a long, though interesting lecture on anything from the economic history of the Thrax to the singing patterns of local, migratory birds. At the very core of his character is simply an unbridled enthusastic curiosity about all things around him. Which he pursues with great fervor, sometimes, to the exclusion of everything else.  +
Cordelia Grimhall +	Extremely independent and dreadfully stubborn, stringent Thraxians gave up on trying to induce their ideals of womanhood in her ages ago. Just as happy to annoy said oppressors as to go her own way, depending on whom one talks to, she's been either blessed or cursed with seemingly inexhaustible energy and curiosity. Wearing her heart on her sleeve, she feels no remorse for crying or glaring or speaking her mind in public. A natural adventurer, she thrives in experiencing something new or learning a little-known fact.  +
Corinna Kelsey +	Corinna Kelsey is warm, cheerful, and a complete ditz. She's sure to annoy anyone who doesn't find her flighty, eager volubility and her almost incredible gullibility charming, but she works so hard to please those in her company that such is a rare thing. She is intensely curious about anyone not from the Lower Boroughs of the city, and prone to asking nosy questions of anyone who catches her interest. She usually speaks before she thinks, and frequently puts her foot in her mouth, but she rarely intends to cause offense. She is fascinated by the nobility, and takes childlike delight in pomp and circumstance of almost any nature.  +
Corinne Brooks +	Corinne is cautious and mindful, observant and cunning. She has a deep, unabiding love of insincere flattery and bullshit but, for the most part, goes about it in a playful way. She lies and prevaricates often, but makes no effort to hide the fact, which means her statements tend to occupy the murky territory between good-natured sarcasm, honest sincerity, and outright treachery. The best conversation, in her mind, is one that's so muddled even she isn't sure if she believes or disbelieves what she's saying anymore. Aside from her social persona, she's much more serious and studious in private, though her disposition tends towards sunny even then. Alchemy is an art to her, and there isn't much she wouldn't do for one more principle, one more secret, one more trick. It would be unfair to call her morally bankrupt, but 'morally impoverished' isn't too far off.  +
Cornelius Blackshore +	A hint of steel lies beneath the smooth tones of his voice. Commanding without even having to say a word, he draws others to his web by radiating confidence. Brilliant mind that sees opportunities not roadblacks in his ambitions. A fine connoisseur of beauty, he is selective on his associations, claiming his allegiance to his departed wife keeps him from developing anything deeper.  +
Corrala Leary +	Corrala is a thoughtful healer without the absent mind. She pays attention to most of the things that go on around her, and she tries to be kind to everyone regardless of rank. She is also fairly good at persuading others to help out whether its in a healing temple or household. If crossed she is able to be firm, but almost never raises her voice, because of her sensitivity to the emotional undercurrents of almost every social situation. Her thoughtfulness runs deep and as such she usually doesn't jump to conclusions, unless her temper is roused, and prefers to think things through before acting.  +
Corrigan Grayhope +	Confessor Corrigan is a guy with a lot of shade in his past and a lot of snark in his future, halfway to hardboiled. Quick witted and sharp, little gets past him, and few opportunities for a glib remark pass him by. He has little patience for self-pity and does not suffer fools gladly; he has a tendency to privilege his own pain over what others have or could experience. That said, he also has little tolerance in self-pity in himself, either, and applies his sarcastic humor to himself with the lash of self-deprecation as often as he flips casual insult towards others. There are few situations in which he can't find some kind of lighter side, even if his sense of humor can be appreciably black. I mean, you've got to laugh, right?  +
Corwin Sanna +	This son of Sanna and Blackram always feels claustrophobic when indoors. Given his height breadth one could easily allow for this, for how a room might feel too small or a chair too tiny, that the building was closing in around him. But for Corwin it goes further. It's not just that being inside makes him feel closed in, it's that it makes him feel as if he's in the wrong place. That he's wandered into the wrong house. It's not until Corwin can see the open sky and feel the caress of nature's windy hand against his cheek that he finds any true peace. Anything less than that is just restlessness. Corwin's not a hermit though; he likes people probably better than he ikes most animals. Well, most people. Some people deserve to breathe less than some animals, as far as Corwin can tell. If you watch his face, it's pretty clear what which group he's putting you into, too. When he's calm as a gentle zephyr, his eyes are so light, his smile seen curling beneath that big beard. But when he's been riled up, it's like the electrciity of a storm sends static through him and his beard almost bushes out and his frown made all the more evident.  +
Cosette Nightgold +	Cosette is often a sweet, kind person who appears to never do any wrong. Some might says she's as innocent as can be, but others who knows her might say it's just for show. She has a rebellious streak and an itch to find trouble, but she tries her best to keep it in check. She's a sneaky one with a good sense of humor. Honestly, she means well!  +
Cosimo Tessere +	Cosimo is equal parts aloof and dry - a man who prefers the company of books to strangers most nights, but isn't entirely inept at conversation when it does arise. There is hidden steel underneath his calm demeanor, and he isn't keen on being pushed around or manipulated, but he is mindful of making more enemies than is necessary. His sister doesn't need additional headaches, after all, and in the end how much of it really matters? He'll find a way to get what he wants one way or another. Possessing great acuity of vision and mind, Cosimo picks up knowledge and retains it easily. That said, he isn't a particularly skilled teacher: most of the knowledge he pursues is for his own consumption, and intellectually lazy people test his patience. He will try, if he has to, with notable effort.  +
Costas Voducce +	Despite his slack posture Costas has the bearing of a man accustomed to receiving orders, if not necessarily completing them with gusto. Quiet and understated in proper company, nimble and colloquial in common, his honeyed voice strays between respectful and cheeky with equal confidence, oft-times within the same breath. While generally seen as even-tempered and patient in the pursuit of his duties, some few may glimpse moments that betray a more mercurial nature in the sharp gestures of his hands when explaining something of interest, or the habit of humming shanties to himself when engaged in idle activities. Possessing the air of a man professionally familiar with violence, his demeanor has been observed to become progressively more casual as moments of actual violence approach.  +
Courage Pie +	Courage is so courageous. It's why they call him Courage, you know, and it has absolutely nothing to do with his childhood friends deciding it would be funny and ironic to call their wimpiest friend Courage. No, he one-hundred-percent earned his name. Absolutely. This is not a hock of crap. Those times when he's less than brave and steel-spined? Well, he's probably just tired from being wonderfully courageous and heroic the other 99% of the time.  +
Cristoph Laurent +	Vibrant and dynamic, Cristoph is a doer: one of those men who thrives on action, and whose energy seems to flow from some innate wellspring that simply does not fail. In short: the man is nonstop. Pragmatic and intelligent, his chiefest struggle in life is probably how much of himself he can find fault with. It's difficult to tell where exactly Cristoph's need to prove himself comes from, nor to what inner ghost he seeks to prove, but it drives him. Organized as well as active, he yearns to take the field and lead, only to sometimes be held back by practical necessity. He is also the man to whom the Valardins can go to make sure that something gets done. Unburdened by high idealism, it is not that Cristoph lacks the fortitude of a personal code as that he simply finds honor to be a practical construct of integrity and effectiveness rather than an unblemished philosophy. His sense of humor is dry, but warm; his core attitude is realistic, but positive; his basic nature is grounded.  +
Cufre Harrow +	Compared to her older sisters, Cufre is more reserved. Softer spoken, gentler emotion. A core of molten iron wrapped in a velvet glove, inclined to watch and observe and prepare rather than charge headlong into a situation, she none-the-less has the determination that seems a hallmark of the Harrow line.  +
Cullen Greenmarch +	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.  +
Curran Grayhope +	Curran is sharp-tongued, sharp-witted, and impatient. His tongue will get him into trouble more often than it won't. He has a hard time kowtowing to his betters. That's not to say he doesn't know when to shut up. He can be silent for days at a time if there's money in it. Scrappy, bright, and hypercurious, it's hard to imagine anything that Curran wouldn't stick his nose into. Brave but sometimes foolhardy, he struggles to trust others and watches the world through wary bright black eyes, trying to learn it all and -- above all, of course -- survive. In the Lower Boroughs, sometimes that feels like it's the hard part.  +
Cutlin Moss +	Cutlin is a man who has experienced life. He is robust for his age, surely, and still has a lot of life in him, but the decades weigh him down. He has lost his wife and one child, while other children still live. He has bled in his duty, though he is the type to suffer in silence. He tends towards brooding over whining, and adores the quite of the wilderness, where he can contemplate and dream. He is not a vicious man, but can and will kill if the need arises. He has taken lives in the line of duty before, and while he does not seek out opportunities to kill, he will do what his job demands. He loves his children, and if anything were to make him forsake his oaths to his house and fealty, it would be his children. He also grows lonely, as it has been some years since his wifes death, and has begun to contemplate seeking companionship once again.  +
Cybele Frost +	Possessed of the immortality of youth and a burning curiosity about the world, Cybele embraces life with joy and fearlessness, certain of the adventure awaiting around every corner. There's a certain wide-eyed wonder to how the Prodigal approaches the new homelands of Arx, along with an almost childlike fascination. Irreverence comes with Cybele's shaman tradition - as Walkers Inbetween are supposed to cross boundaries and engage in transgression. Still, one can only transgress so far before one's new liege lords disapprove in a manner of consequence, and that, at least is a lesson Cybele has learned - if not taken entirely to heart.  +
Cydra Corroda +	She's usually calm and polite toward everyone that hasn't gotten on her bad side. She frequently makes puns at inappropriate times, and is completely shameless about them. It's usually difficult to get her to open up, closing herself off socially, but she's practical and bold in other situations despite how reserved she is - bleeding in to headstrong and stubborn.  +
Cynara +	Still waters run deep and in the depths of Cynara's eyes is an ocean, ageless and vast. One would be foolish to mistake stillness for a lack of motion, though. Time has turned her inate cunning and ruthlessness into the sharpest of knives. She can cut with them and be gone before one even realizes that they've been wounded. With a patience vast enough to match her wit and experience, Cynara doesn't think in weeks or months but in decades and centuries, changing the world around her inch by painstaking inch and willing to do whatever it takes to see her planning come to fruition.  +
Cyril Melaeris +	Although few have ever heard Cyril's voice raised above indoor-level, he has a firm and commanding presence. A gifted orator, his soft-spoken words have a way of swaying others to his cause. That's not to say he's stern or aloof. Cyril's quite amiable, always open to new ideas and suggestions or differences of opinion. Compromise is key in negotiations and the lord is very aware of that fact. Pragmatic and slow to anger, he's well-suited to the arena of court and politics.  +
Cyrus Laurent +	Usually stiff and stern, he takes what he does very seriously. He has a strong faith and passion to do what's right. While easy to focus on his work, he has a hard time in casual or social situations and can become awkward or very quiet. Despite his hard work, he constantly feels as though his efforts are not good enough and carries a burden of guilt for actions he could not change.  +
D
Dacian Krosse +	A stoic man, keen, and calculating - he is sharp of wit and perhaps can be considered a bit quiet. If one was to judge this book by its cover they may not see the passions he keeps to himself but if one were to come across him in his element, no mistake could be made. Dacian loves the thrill of the hunt, and his bow may be his most trusted ally, but he feels just as comfortable in the market.  +
Daemon Dracone +	For all of his life he has been subservient to the codes of honor that form the backbone of Valardin. He is soft spoken and kind whilst he keeps a strong-as-steel pride into his every action. Some would say his authoritative voice was off-putting, but oft it would carry smooth words and reassuring promises to its intended listener. Patience and quiet reverence are two words that may describe him best.  +
Dafne Rubino-Zaffria +	Dafne is young enough to still be a touch naive, not quite aware of how the ebb and flow of power works. She is a touch shy and awkward, and sometimes shy, but at times shows flashes of a willful, passionate nature. Some consider her gloomy--she has deep fascination for the darker side of life. Grief, death, loss, violence, sin--it's all so beautifully tragic to her. The more charitable consider her just highly imaginative.  +
Dag Frost +	Gruff, short-tempered, and utterly devoted to his craft, Dag sometimes has a hard time building relationships; a fact that doesn't seem to bother him overly much. That said, if someone does manage to crack through his stern exterior, he's loyal to a fault and always willing to lend a helping hand; even if his help tends to come with a liberal dusting of insults and muttered curses. More stubborn than a mule, Dag never compromises his values or ideals, which has often led to friendship-ending fights or trouble with those in possession of misplaced authority. Perhaps the brightest spark in Dag's generally pretty rocky personality is his absolute love for his craft. On the rare few times the man ever really cracks a smile, it's usually caused by genuine praise for his work or appreciation of another's.  +
Dagny Stahlben +	Rough around the edges, she isn't as refined as some ladies are, lacking the carefully crafted etiquette of those raised in courts and houses that have been part of the Compact longer. There is a steel to her, but there is also a laconic sort of way of carrying herself, like she knows that there are dangers in the world, but that she is either confident in her abilities to deal with it. Or that death is an inevitability that life holds, and that being overly worried just ends in a lack of enjoyment in the parts of life lived. Overly friendly might be a term, apt to strike up a conversation with a complete stranger and a humor that tends to be gallows humor. But humor, right?  +
Dagon Thrax +	In all of Arx, few are as capable of surprising someone making first impressions as Dagon. He looks so much like his grandfather, many fear angering him from the moment they meet him. Quickly, they find that the young heir recalls the old ways of chivalry and nobility rather than the brutal ruthlessness House Thrax is known for. He is quieter than one would expect, choosing his words carefully for maximum effect, focused on bettering those around him and defending the defenseless, and leaving things better than he found them. He works hard at it, humble and focused, always careful to keep his emotions in check. He eschews deception and corruption, favoring to be the better man whenever possible. He doesn't seek attention, even if it naturally comes to him, simply wanting to lighten the hearts and minds around him. He is not weak, even if many whisper behind his back, but he feels no need to display strength in brutish and unnecessary ways.  +
Dagon Tyde +	In all of Arx, few are as capable of surprising someone making first impressions as Dagon. He looks so much like his grandfather, many fear angering him from the moment they meet him. Quickly, they find that the young heir recalls the old ways of chivalry and nobility rather than the brutal ruthlessness House Thrax is known for. He is quieter than one would expect, choosing his words carefully for maximum effect, focused on bettering those around him and defending the defenseless, and leaving things better than he found them. He works hard at it, humble and focused, always careful to keep his emotions in check. He eschews deception and corruption, favoring to be the better man whenever possible. He doesn't seek attention, even if it naturally comes to him, simply wanting to lighten the hearts and minds around him. He is not weak, even if many whisper behind his back, but he feels no need to display strength in brutish and unnecessary ways.  +
Dairen Wyrmguard +	Dairen, or Ren to family, was always a soft spoken young man. While possessed of the same bravery and fierceness typical to those of his house, his tends to express more quietly as he is something of an introvert and when his family is not on the line even a pacifist. Not unlike a magpie, he has a love of shiny things, and has spent much time learning to make them as well, though with as strong a bent toward arms and armor as more ornamental trinkets, if not more so. He is quick to laughter and slow to offense, with a tendency to hide hurts due to pride.  +
Dalsam recently disowned from a wealthy merchant family +	Dalsam often seems bored. With his dry tone and flat, level stare, he rarely appears interested in anything. He has an air of general world-weariness; you'd think him a person who's lost all passion for everything. Despite this, he's eloquent, though not especially charming. In spite of their outward demeanor, Dalsam is a very opinionated person. In the right circumstances, they'll show a more passionate side. They enjoy talking and debating; while they don't often show it, they can hold their own well in an argument. And their writing is often deeply emotional, ranging from melancholic to angry to loving. It's been a long while, though, since they've published any of it.  +
Damaris Arenir +	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.  +
Damiana Valardin +	While sisters take the forefront of battles, Damiana is the power behind throne. No matter how righteous a war those require troops to be well fed and provisioned, supply lines must be clear and allies must be secured. Growing up Damiana had all the makings of a knight herself, but overtime she veered towards the life as a courtier, and now those skills merged in to a cunning politician that puts Valardin first, aware that a lumbering, hungry dragon is of no use to the people it was supposed to protect. Since losing her sight she has become a woman of few smiles and few words, unless the occasion demands them. Inwards, Damiana considers herself responsible for the Tragedy, as if she should have been able to foresee it, or at least wield a sword to die fighting, and now that her world was plunged into darkness she spends most of her days thinking of the next strike, and how the enemy will come after them next. Some may call her paranoid, but the price of peace is eternal vigilance. While she may sometimes crack when around her siblings or those she respects, and feel self-conscious about her eyes and dependence on others, Damiana more often than not embraces the heavy self-imposed burdens on her shoulders. She survived, and she has no room to complain.  +
Damik Uhl'daja +	Damik was often compared with his brothers. "Less violent than Ulrik'uhl'daja the Butcher of Skal'daja" or "less ruthless than Galik'uhl'daja the Whip of Skal'daja" are not untrue, but these are still very relative terms for a culture that many in the Compact find abhorrent. He's sympathetic to Arvani mores, and tries to be mindful of giving offense, but the man still has many, many blind spots making it all but inevitable there will be cultural clashes.  +
Damon Wyrmguard +	Easy going, with a sharp mind, Damon crosses many social lines, easily accessible to a wide variety of person. He's well learned in many subjects, and eagerly tries to involve anyone he meets in a great discussion, debate, or simply dazzle them with his mind. While he can fight, he finds it tedious, preferring to read and study, his mind too quick for the rigors of battle. Many find it hard to hate the man, but don't understand why someone so naturally good with a blade would prefer to read a story, or learn about ancient history. He always has a kind word, and tries to find the good in people, and doesn't -try- to make someone feel stupid and unlearned. He just doesn't always understand that very few are as well read.  +
Danae Russo +	She is known amongst the troops for being a bit of a hard ass. A smile is one of the rarest things you can see from Danae. She is tough and expects no less than perfection from the soldiers directly under her in the chain of command. Despite this she is well respected amongst the soldiers. She has earned it with over a decade of service in the military. How ever most of her more legendary exploits have gone unnoticed up until this point, as she has always waved off awards and praise, stating "It is my job, I just happen to be good at it." On the field of battle she is known as the exact person you want to show up when you need back up, and the last person you want showing up if you are the enemy. Some of the soldiers refer to her as the armies 'Mom' (but never to her face) because of the way she always takes care of those who need it, and how she rarely gets mad at people, she just gets disappointed.  +
Daniella Velenosa +	Daniella sees it as her sacred mission to prevent any and all other people from being or getting boring. A boundless source of energy and with a debilitating addiction to witty turns of phrase she is constantly making up tales, embellishing stories, or engaging in impromptu improv to liven up any conversation or social event.  +
Danielle Valardin +	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.  +
Dantaria Ulbran +	Dantaria is the sort of woman who knows what she wants and what she's willing to do to get it. She's used to organising the people around her, focusing on the destination and nudging people and things in the right direction to get there. She doesn't usually get her own hands dirty, though - she has people for that.  +
Dante DiFidante +	Dante is nothing if not passionate in everything that he does. He exudes an air of confidence about him that is rare for men like him; A man who has seen many things and experienced many things. Not all pleasant and yet he recalls each event as a blessing and not a curse. An exceptionally skilled swordsman, the man is pure poetry in motion. It is as if he heads into battle with the same slow steady beat as he would upon entering his private bedchamber ready for a different sort of war. He is a romantic and often waxes poetic about everything and nothing at all. There are two things he loves and reveres most in life; His sword and his passions.  +
Dante Fidante +	Dante is nothing if not passionate in everything that he does. He exudes an air of confidence about him that is rare for men like him; A man who has seen many things and experienced many things. Not all pleasant and yet he recalls each event as a blessing and not a curse. An exceptionally skilled swordsman, the man is pure poetry in motion.

He is a romantic and often waxes poetic about everything and nothing at all. There are two things he loves and reveres most in life; His sword and his passions.  +
Danvir Ravenseye +	Danvir is an approachable man. He always has a smile on his expression. Most people would notice that he is rarely seen with a bottle of Redrain Fire Whiskey. And he shocks people with how well he can hold his liquor, to the point he practically doesn't slur or any other common effects of being plastered. He also likes to explore and meet new people. Danvir is a man who thirsts for knowledge, and he will read any book or attempt anything he finds entertaining. However his true love is the sea. He wants to be able to comandeer a ship in the future, and possibly be Redrein's first Navy Captain. However surpassing his love for the sea, is his infatuation with Shamanism. So much so that some people have started calling him the mystic red haired lad. He seems not to care as he pays his respects to the spirits and even prays to them whenever he is going to attempt something.  +
Dara Agassi +	There are some people who are just born as gentle souls, no matter the life and circumstances they're placed in. Dara is one of these. She doesn't waste energy on the things she can't change, and instead devotes it on that which she can. It leaves her with a serene air of acceptance and a smile; a smile that some of her overseers found unnerving. Especially when they saw it during her moments of having a chance to do something about a still-remembered wrong.  +
Darby Grayhope +	Darby is a heavy. From the top of his bald head to the tips of his worn, leather boots, the man surrounds himself with an intential aura of intimidation. Often silent, when he does speak, it is with a wit born of the gutter. When he stands, he plants. When he sits, he possesses. When another member of his family is around, he is a deferential dog, ready to attack.  +
Daria Mandragora +	Daria Mandragora is perhaps best summed up as being aggressively competent. Which isn't to say she's particularly aggressive; she's ordinarily a very warm, cheerful person, first to volunteer for any number of details and one of the last to pack up and go home when things are done. That's coupled with a touch of independence, such that when she's given a task or has an idea she seizes it, embraces it, and runs with it to its conclusion, rarely diverting along the way. Sometimes this leads to her taking on more than she ought to, but eventually everything gets done. There's a bit of competitiveness in there, the sort that builds friendly rivalries, and that leads to her keeping a mental list of who she knows is good at what. Especially when good gets defined as better than she is. There's a sprinkle of curiosity too, a love of adventure rooted in a deep, abiding love of her homeland: she might go anywhere at all, but afterward, she will always go home.  +
Darian Malespero +	Quick to smile, always willing to share a drink and a conversation, he has the sort of good-natured boy next door attitude that seems at significant odds with the evidence of a hard, rough life of a soldier that is written across his appearance. As quick as he is to smile he can be equally as quick to pick a fight over something that he believes strongly in. But like everything else about him, he can fight hard, and depending on the exact situation once the fight is over that may be it, something that can be set aside as a resolved issue.  +
Dariel Bisland +	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!  +
Dario Seraceni +	Darios business is war, and he treats war and battle with all the respect it deserves. While he has a commanding presence, it is discussing martial matters where his true leadership skills shine. He can often appear quiet, almost pensive or brooding, and he occasionally gets lost in his thoughts. Perhaps he is remembering some long-ago battle or the loss of some comrade. Despite this, he does not normally come across as hostile or unkind, and in fact is rather even-tempered.  +
Darkus Crovane +	A stoic man, quiet but charming. He lives his life to have luxury and prove that a commoner can rise to the top. He handles most discomforts by ignoring them entirely or facing them down. Darkus loves art, music, and has a deep appreciation for literature and animals. He also likes a nice stiff drink at the end of the day or while watching the sunset because he is also a secret romantic.  +
Darren Redrain +	Since the loss of his father, Darren has tried to walk a line between two worlds. Among his people, the young high lord will drink, and fight, and hunt as well as any might expect from a lord of the North. Walking through the streets of Arx, he can conduct himself with the charm and subtlety of southern nobility, observing the courtly niceties as well as a Grayson prince. He may do it ably, but without any particular enthusiasm, being polite but withdrawn in his affairs, without the easy familiarity that some may expect from unrestrained Northerners. The young prince will often listen calmly and reasonably to two sides of a debate, making judgments without rancor, and often keeps his own counsel. Although his siblings may sometimes be called brash or wild, none have ever said that of Darren.  +
Darrow Darkwater +	It is rumored that Darrow of House Darkwater has not laughed in fifteen years. Even as a youth and squire he was known as 'Dour Darrow', and his somberness is matched only by his relentlessness. While not openly hostile, he can be curt and is often laconic, though his words are known for intelligence when he does speak. He's harshly just, stoic, and severe in his dealings with others. He doesn't exactly lack charisma, though those that gather to him are the type more interested in doing, not saying.  +
Daturo Tessere +	Daturo is a man of easy smiles and laughs and is almost always ready to pay for the next round of drinks for his friends. He's one of those men that always shows up impeccably dressed without having had to work very hard at it. All about him seems to exude the carefree air of one born noble and the confidence of a man trained in his own skills. His great love in life is his stables, and when given a free moment, can often be found there.  +
Dawn Grayson +	A strong and graceful young woman, Dawn Grayson is full of fire and passion whether dressed in silk and satin or outfitted for adventure in the field. A careful diplomat, she strives to let her impassioned ideals and beliefs be known without causing offense -- and is equally careful never to let her family be scandalized. She carefully manages her temperament to be one of power, without rancor, hiding any fury she may feel until she is well and truly alone. She is naturally gregarious and likable, using all the charm her father, King Alaric III, possessed in the hopes of making herself as beloved as he was. While she knows she is capable and talented, Dawn's sure to let her deeds speak louder than words, and prove herself from King to Common, as well deserving to be acting as high lord of House Grayson in the King's name.  +
Daya Harrin +	Vivacious and spirited, she is used to the rowdy environs that raised her. She has quite a temper and would not fare well amongst aristocrats, but she is shrewd enough to be aware of this. Knowing little of the world outside of Arx, she is more concerned with the goings-on of the city and is generous with gossip. She's got friends in low places and an attitude that matches such a life.  +
Dayton Grace +	When you're the eldest of nine children, you tend to grow into a tempered man. Dayton has an easygoing and rarely flappable nature to him. Polite and calm in most situations, he maintains a gentleness uncommon with many seaborn men yet for the locals of the small island of Stormward it seems to be a norm of the commoner caste.  +
Deacon Pateris +	Deacon is a man obsessed with the beauty and potential of what is over the next hill. He has a sunny disposition and can often be heard fending off the naysayers with the taunt: "But what if it's fun?" He's fascinated with people and cultures and drawn to the strange and exotic, often striking up random conversations with anyone willing to lend an ear and a voice. Deacon comes off as an eccentric in most cases, preferring his own 'upside-down and cross-eyed' view of the world over the mundane.  +
Decius Meridius +	A sometimes incoragable rake, though with his own streak of honor. He is dedicated to his profession, and those in his own personal soocial circle. He enjoys life today for tomorrow who knows what will happen. This is not to say he will take foolish risks, but he is also not prone to let setbacks deter him. He rises above them, and does live his life from one goal to the next, always moving on to the next project, the next challenge. When he is at work, he does get focused and does often sink only into his work above other concerns. Still one can hardly argue the results.  +
Declan Tyde +	Reserved with an understated charm, it is easy to see how Declan managed to survive all those years living while hiding his identity. Never wishing to draw attention to himself, Declan is quick to steer any conversation safely away from himself with a long survivor's instinct of avoiding notice. While there's still pronounced traces of a long life surviving in the Boroughs while hiding his identity, he nonetheless seems growing increasingly comfortable slipping into the role he was born to play- a noble hoping to further his family's ambitions, even if that family had once been brought low.  +
Deimos +	Some are born to follow, others to lead. Deimos, with the bold stance, steely gaze and wry smirk of an imperious man, embodies the disposition of one for whom authority comes naturally. Ambition colors this dominance, cultivating within him the desire for something greater. Despite the sense of command that radiates from him, Deimos is not without mirth. Like most men of the sea, an evening of carousing and drinking can hearken back to the wilder days of his youth. But never at the cost of his wits. Rapier-sharp cunning has kept him on the right side of the sea's dangerous embrace, and it continues to be his most precious tool.  +
Delfina Darkwater +	Driven. Determined. Fickle, perhaps, but whatever Delfina has decided is her goal will be her unwavering focus. She is witty and creative with a curious streak, inclined to explore and experiment even at the risk of the safety of herself and others. She enjoys a challenge and respects skills of all sorts, until that person gets in the way of what she wants. The one thing guaranteed to sway her is the best interest of her House, and she will sacrifice much to achieve those ends. She has been a knight of House Darkwater for many years, and even though she married into it rather than being born into the bloodline, that makes her no less dedicated. Does that give her a kind of flexible morality? Life is about priorities, and Delfina is willing to do many things for Darkwater's sake. Friends and allies are likely to describe her as kind and generous, amusing and quick to laugh, though not always in a nice way. She is not the sort of woman one wants as an enemy, but those things aside, she is otherwise pleasant company.  +
