|---|---|
| Delilah Shepherd + | Just like the vast ocean Delilah is restless, moody and fond of change and travel. In her mind, there is always a question that needs an answer, and she is compelled to go out and find it herself when she can get no answers from people or dusty old tomes. She frequently documents the answers she finds and the discoveries she makes to make them easily accessible to others, particularly when danger is involved. When she was a little girl, penning fantastical tales of a heroine suspiciously like herself was a beloved past time, but Delilah is quickly discovering the world is far more magical than even her imagination suggested! + |
| Delilah Whitehawk + | Just like the vast ocean Delilah is restless, moody and fond of change and travel. In her mind, there is always a question that needs an answer, and she is compelled to go out and find it herself when she can get no answers from people or dusty old tomes. She frequently documents the answers she finds and the discoveries she makes to make them easily accessible to others, particularly when danger is involved. When she was a little girl, penning fantastical tales of a heroine suspiciously like herself was a beloved past time, but Delilah is quickly discovering the world is far more magical than even her imagination suggested! + |
| Demura Lyonesse + | A shrewd woman. She has been hardened by her life as a Lyonesse and battlefields, despite her relatively young age. Calamity always seems to be on the horizon, to one degree or another for her and the family whose name she carries. It is through force of will and hardiness that the family has persisted for so long. Demura understands this and as a result has become tempered as steel, often providing the world a cool exterior for casual viewing. She will do what must be done to succeed, to live, and to continue her family name forward for generations to come. Yet still she is young, which allows her moments when her guard comes down and the carefree exuberance of youth shines through. + |
| Denica Thrax + | Full of energy and wonder for the world, it is all the more challenging for this bon vivant to assume the role of a properly meek and demure Thraxian noblewoman. The struggle is real, and it often shows in subconscious gestures of restlessness or barely leashed emotions. Thoughtful compassion battles with the uncanny pragmatism of her household, but loyalty to her family commonly wins out. She holds few ambitions beyond inspiration for new art and acclaim from her peers, happy to merely enjoy life as a redundant daughter of nobility and gifted prodigy of the arts. + |
| Deoiridh Unknown + | Most will find the wayward Shav'arvani huntress wary and distrustful at a glance, and perhaps even beyond first impressions and first meetings, just as many may find her visage to be an unsettling sight and her presence cause for suspicion and vigilance. Stubborn, nosily curious, and perhaps jarringly out of her element in the Compact, Deoiridh nonetheless isn't without apparent good qualities. She has a way with animals, whether in befriending them or hunting them, and appears well-versed in the ways of the wilds. She is keen of sight and mind, and ordinarily equally swift to pick up upon most things that are unfamiliar and strange to her, though whether she chooses to embrace societal norms and foreign customs in her unorthodox nature is another matter. + |
| Derovai Voss + | Raised on the streets of Arx, Derovai discovered at an early age that knowledge can be just as valuable as any coin, and just as powerful as any noble. Never quite suited to wielding a sword, he learned instead to parry with words, to strike to the truth of things, with or without the mercy of polite civility. Between charismatic charm and biting wit, it can be difficult to find acquaintances who claim a middle ground of neutrality with the man; most tend to find him delightful or barely tolerable. Derovai is more concerned with information than being liked, however, so he usually cares more about endearing himself to those who are useful. + |
| Desiree Wyrmguard + | Desiree isn't ?precisely- every father's worst nightmare for their delicate daughter, but it isn't from lack of effort. She doesn't go so far as to bring shame upon her family or her betters, rather, she simply has a sense of confidence that she can sweet talk her way into or out of anything on a whim. Her soul is fire, in every aspect, from the burning rage of injustice, to the searing heat of passion. It kindles gently to warm and soothe those she cares for, and when the coals run cold, may everyone be wary. She's bright enough to know not to go into a knife fight with only her rapier wit, but she tends to like to challenge herself to greater feats of social escapades. Her devotion to her sister, however, is unmatched, and she will fight more fiercely in the social circles, so her sister can do the boring things like lead the family and be a paragon of virtue. + |
| Desma Magnotta + | Pragmatic and down-to-earth, Desma doesn't suffer fools lightly. If a person needs telling that they're acting the idiot, she'll do so directly, and to their face. That's not to say she's rude, it's more that she doesn't see the point in tip-toeing around a subject when, with a few well-chosen words, that problem can be fixed. If you're in her face, she'll swat you right out of it, and though some can find her manner a little abrasive at times, those with whom friendships are struck tell of a woman that's warm and loyal to a fault. Inquisitive, adventurous, ambitious, she sees her life as a series of goals that must be secured. + |
| Destin Saltshore + | Destin is, on the surface, the very definition of a citizen of Grihem's Point: grim-faced, gruff, and stoic to a fault. One does not have to spend too long around him, however, to realize that he has a wicked, if incredibly dry, sense of humor. Unless it goes over one's head, of course. In spite of this, though, he is a deeply loyal man once it is earned, with a strong sense of justice and an abiding faith for the Gods. + |
| Deva Redrain + | It's not that Deva sets out to give gray hairs to everyone that cares about her, or that she wants to be a troublemaker... even if those moments are often hilarious. She just loves freedom above all else and instinctively buckles against any kind of constraint ever set down on her, whether it's the polite suffocating rules of noble society or the pragmatic duties set forth for a high born princess. She's passionate and fiery, caring so deeply and fervently about any just cause that piques her bone deep sympathy for individuals fighting for their rights. She does try to restrain herself now and then, knowing how easily a princess can bring scandal down upon House Redrain, but the surest way to make her forget that restraint is to tell her she cannot do something. + |
| Deva Velenosa + | It's not that Deva sets out to give gray hairs to everyone that cares about her, or that she wants to be a troublemaker... even if those moments are often hilarious. She just loves freedom above all else and instinctively buckles against any kind of constraint ever set down on her, whether it's the polite suffocating rules of noble society or the pragmatic duties set forth for a high born princess. She's passionate and fiery, caring so deeply and fervently about any just cause that piques her bone deep sympathy for individuals fighting for their rights. She does try to restrain herself now and then, knowing how easily a princess can bring scandal down upon House Redrain, but the surest way to make her forget that restraint is to tell her she cannot do something. + |
| Dianara Whisper + | She's never been the life of the party, but Dianara is the Whisper one seeks out if they desire pleasant conversation over a drink at said party. Hers is a way of languid kindness and warmth with little that seems to make her excited or out of sorts. Her companions and students would swear they've never seen her lose her temper. She seems to drift through the world as if propelled by a gentle breeze, unperturbed and unbothered by struggle and strife but willing to assist where she can. + |
| Dianna Mazetti + | Dianna Godsworn, nee Mazetti, can be said to have taken the Lycene heroes of old and distilled them into a singular essence: her own. Sly as Cella, she combines a natural magnetism with an affinity bold words and even bolder actions. She is proud without being pompous, and determined without being reckless. Once, Dianna sought personal glory, intending to bring fame and honor even more so to her House. So much has changed in her, though, in the short time after returned to Arx: While Dianna still holds every quality, every grace, every lesson she has ever learned as a Mazetti, she now practically gleams with a radiant, intoxicating peace, no matter what her mood that ingratiates her ever more to those she sets her fathomlessly-deep amber gaze upon. However, when Dianna is furious? That radiant peace focuses on its target, all-encompassing in its grasp; and Dianna Godsworn becomes a boldly-terrifying thing of beauty. + |
| Diego Leary + | Warm and friendly by nature, Diego flirts as much out of a kind of constant spinal reflex as he does out of any real desire to win hearts or bedmates. His sense of humor is corky and odd, striking at odd moments, and he thinks a lot in terms of mathematics, spatial relationships and engineering. His mellow seems unending; it's hard to conceive of him losing his temper, merely because he seems so laid back. Yet for all his easygoing flamboyance, what lies at the core of his spine, beneath the defensive barrier of lightness and humor, is an intent thinker and doer with a solid foundation. + |
| Dierdre Fallow + | Dierdre is a very mercurial woman with definite mood swings. She can go from calm and quiet to screaming in the blink of an eye. Usually she reserves this treatment for the soldiers she trains. Despite this she very rarely is actually horribly mad, she just is loud. Very loud. And often times people associate being loud with being mean and angry. Dierdre is actually quite kind and caring. The only reason she is so tough is she has to be, to make sure the people she trains do the best they can to survive. But beware, actually get her angry and she is a nigh-unstoppable train of fury. + |
| Dimitri Velenosa + | Friendly, sociable and more then a little outgoing, Dimitri is able to easily navigate just about any social situation, whether it's in the company of the valorous Oathlanders to the raucous Northerners. Never one to turn down a drink or a party, he finds himself quite at home when in the company of others, so long as his company doesn't involve fighting. + |
| Dino Corsetina + | In Bernardino Corsetina's short life, he's become convinced that life is more than a bit crazy and the more he learns, the more he realized he knew nothing at all before. Whenever he finds it daunting to determine what is right, he relies on guiding principles to help navigate treacherous waters: a protective love of family, and to be the best he can possibly be. Easy enough on its own, but truthfully the Corsetinas are not always easy to love, and very not easy to protect. Deep down he knows that some might find his family creepy and full of Lycene with less than stellar reputations, much of it earned, and some of them can lack even the most basic empathy, but that's just a hero's challenge to make it work, right? Personable, charismatic, and genuinely warm and kind-hearted, Dino stands out among his Corsetina kin, and even Lycenes in general. But he'll make it work. Dino believes in looking at the positive, and trusting life can better. Some might call him foolish, but it doesn't get under Bernardino Corsetina's skin; afterall, every family needs a dreamer, right? + |
| Dio Seraceni + | On the seas, Dio is fierce and stern - a man who understands necessity and uses the force of his personality to enthrall his crew with a sense of purpose and destiny. At other times, he can be personable and warm, a master storyteller, who can draw his listeners into foreign lands or times not their own, to taste victory on their lips, or feel the weight of silver coins passing through their fingers. The nature of his speech is also as mutable as the sea. He can be formal, even eloquent in the courts of Velenosa or Arx, or spit the most vile and base curses with the lowliest of cutthroats. To those inclined to pay close attention, it is clear that whatever lies underneath these cultivated personas has been locked in a well wrought chest, and buried deep. + |
| Dion Navegant + | Adventure has always, always, called to Dion. It sings in his blood and whispers in his ears, but that adventure is not always of the body, and while he's both active and has always been, he's also got the ability to be studious. He's quick with a laugh and a joke, always has a story ready to tell, some even true, and an ear ready for any story that anyone else might have to share. Often it's hard to marry the idea of his age with his personality, as he lives life with the vibrancy of a man half his age. + |
| Dismas Scratch + | He's got a confident swagger, like he knows who he is and what he's worth and doesn't have to prove it to a single soul. Until he's on the field, then he is down to prove his capability with every punch, every swing of his sword, every refusal to stay down when knocked on his ass. He fights with a fury and ferocity that's only matched off the field by his love for his family. Off the field, he'd rather enjoy himself, though those paying attention might catch a habit toward moderation, unwilling as he is to let indulgence get in the way of what he wants. There's a quiet discipline beneath his nonchalance which might lead one to believe he's signed up with the Champions for more than just silver and glory, like maybe he actually believes in the honor he's paid to fight for. + |
| Dmitry Grimhall + | Dmitry tries so very hard to be an honorable man. He knows full well the kind of reputation that Grimhall enjoys, and he knows full well that every bit of it was justified. He saw the kind of duchy that his father Taras ran, and the kind of wanton wastefulness caused by the stupidity and brutality of his father. Dmitry was determined to be a far better man than that, and despite (or perhaps because) of the reputation that Thrax and Grimhall enjoys, he has a rare reputation as an honest if grimly determined man driven to improve the standing of his house. He can be ruthless and painfully direct, but the short of cruel malevolence of his brother is foreign to his nature. + |
| Doll + | Called "Doll", this is unlikely to be her real name, but few seem to have any clue to what it actually is. None seem to care, either. By all accounts she's a trashy, aggressive, promiscuous nobody with an oversized attitude from the lowest planes of society, willing to sell or do anything for the right price. Most who've seen her have also heard her demanding others buy her anything from a drink to an expensive pair of shoes, which often turns to some combination of either bullying, fisticuffs, or occasionally sexual offerings, all of which she's more known for than most anything else. She's rarely fully-clothed, which she's known to use to full effect, and even less rarely seen without a few bruises or busted-up knuckles despite it. Her furious temper and the feminine details of her often-overexposed body are perhaps the most common points of discussion regarding this "Doll". She's sometimes seen with a particularly expensive-looking trinket or piece of jewelry, which she'll call gifts. Speculation on who she stole or conned such things from usually follows. + |

She's sometimes seen with a particularly expensive-looking trinket or piece of jewelry, which she'll call gifts. Speculation on who she stole or conned such things from usually follows. + |
| Dominic Thrax + | If anyone heard him, his voice, grunt-filled whispers into the fey, careless to the reality of aristocracy, womanly troubles. He spoke only to his dogs, massive monstrosities of battle no weaker and no less ferocious than he; salivating at the thought of thrall-hunt. But silence was his primary form of conversation, eyeing others as if you were tantalizing meat ready for slaughter. Pure, unfettered, hardened silence grasping tenuously at the rage that hides beneath. That is his reputation, one cultivated and displayed to keep others at a distance. The truth is that his time away from civilization changed him. It did not make him soft or slow but patient. He expels an air of tranquility that listens and contradicts his large frame. + |
| Dominique Wyrmguard + | There is surety of purpose, and then there is stubborn will. Dominique embodies both, honestly. She doesn't deny that her lofty ideals are often impractical, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be pursued. The world is a place full of great goodness and beauty, but just as much horror and evil. The Valardin know that better than most, and only their purity of strength stems the tide from their lands. It's not that she doesn't understand the need for compromise, it's just that compromise is for other people to do, to handle. She can't afford to do it, and she carries that burden heavily. She often wishes for the carefree days before her lessons began, but to shirk her duties, especially in the face of tragedy, is an unforgivable sin. + |
| Domonico Magnotta + | Domonico knows why he was sent to the Fleet and he knows very well what it did for him. The lesson brought home the wise consideration of action and he keeps that at the fore of his mind through much of his day. While he can be the rapid-fire decision-maker on the sea, when it comes to personal and business interactions he tends to be methodical and pragmatic. That said? Like all Malvici's, he grew up in a family built on merit and he prides himself on knowing that he did not fall into his position by accident. + |
| Domonico Malvici + | Domonico knows why he was sent to the Fleet and he knows very well what it did for him. The lesson brought home the wise consideration of action and he keeps that at the fore of his mind through much of his day. While he can be the rapid-fire decision-maker on the sea, when it comes to personal and business interactions he tends to be methodical and pragmatic. That said? Like all Malvici's, he grew up in a family built on merit and he prides himself on knowing that he did not fall into his position by accident. + |
| Donaldo Velenosa + | Cheerful and attentive, if quiet, one minute his mood can also be somehow disinterested, even here in the greatest and most exciting city in all the land. Also quick to smile and laugh, nearly as quick to ask a question or explore a cabinet that isn't his, this is a man with some issues focusing on any one thing if there's something else to fancy within earshot. + |
| Donato Inverno + | Much like his twin sister, Oriana, he is quick witted. However, unlike her he's not as gifted with not being offensive, most of the time it's accidental. He'll tell a joke better suited to the days out on the sea with his crew, and forget that those among the nobility might not appreciate them. Also, unlike his sister he is more prone to quiet observations of other, never quite hitting the brooding stage, but certainly there seems to be something a little darker to him, thousand-yard stare. + |
| Donella Redrain + | Though a quiet soul who can be overlooked in a glittering throng, Donella's tart tongue has built her a reputation for being clever, even playful company. In political life, she tells it as she sees it, and her candor has won her entry into halls which should have traditionally been closed to her. She has never been without ambition or pragmatism; there is always a method in mind for obtaining her aims. She likes to feel useful and gravitates toward people who know things, and causes she can engage with on a personal level. Failure is taken extremely personally. She has been described even by enemies as a formidable woman, and in spite of rigid self-control, more than once someone has found themselves fleeing her displeasure and temper all the way out of Arx. + |
| Donella Thrax + | One might expect a Voice of House Thrax to be a cold, calculating woman, or a timid, submissive creature. Donella decided long ago that she would be neither of those things. Well, not wholly so. She skirts a fine line between embodying Thraxian ideals of strength and cold pragmatism (or murderous ruthleness), with being a capable, intelligent woman, able to keep up with the staunchest politicians at court. She rarely speaks out of turn, and never over her fellows, but when she has control of the conversation, she commands respect. She uses her silence, to watch and learn, and then acts decisively, before many realize she isn?t meek and mild. She embraces all aspects of her being - joys, hatreds, respect, tradition, happiness, cruelty - all of it, for she thinks not doing so would provide someone a weakness to exploit. She allows people to see what they expect, and then gets what she wants, however necessary. + |
| Donovan Grayson + | Professionally, it'd be easy to take Donovan as blunt, short mannered and well on the dryer side of curt. Not that he would blame anyone for that impression either; in work he suffers no nonsense, nor tolerates fools of any class, creed or sect and his dour face reflects this, far too often. The law is paramount and he takes all matters brought to him seriously. This grave, austere nature does bleed somewhat into his personal life, but he is far from unpleasant. Donovan is personable outside of business hours but often treads shyly in social situations, even fumbling through social nuances of aristocratic courtly duties. + |
| Donrai Thrax + | In a word, 'dangerous'. Ruthless and determined, time has done little to dull the sharpness of Prince Donrai's mind or manner. He is prone to succint, even curt answers, with a cool, regal bearing that does not invite easy familiarity and provides little help to House Thrax's dubious reputation. The rare times the wizened old man seems amiable, even friendly, it meets limited success- most assume (correctly, more often than not), that it is not for a reason they'll enjoy. + |
| Dora Malvici + | Stubborn to the point of her parents shipping her off to a tiny island for some sanity. From the get go she was given everything she wanted, and left to cause havoc and trouble. So it isn't a surprise she is often spoiled, sometimes stuck up, and almost always coy. The last reserved for when she wants something usually. Yet despite all this she isn't afraid of getting dirty. Literally. An exploring nature and inquisitive mind have led her into no few scrapes, and only made her the more bold. Or maybe it's the fact she simply thinks herself invincible that makes her feel that way. + |
| Dorian Champions + | Dorian has a very 'Lady's first bad boy' vibe. His genteel upbringing and decent education culminated in a rogueish duelist dangerous enough to thrill without ever seeming truly frightening. It's a thin line but Dorian is sharp enough to keep to it. Bold and quick-witted, Dorian has a slow-burning temper and a surprising amount of patience. He might drop hints as to his underworld connections, or provoke a fight he knows he can win in style, but he's smart enough to keep in the good graces of his noble contacts - some of whom might remember him from before his disgraceful falling out with his family. It works out to his advantage, usually, as those who make the connection know at least he was raised by proper folk, and not some ruffians. + |
| Drake Wyrmguard + | Friendly and amicable, he has always been one of the more easy going Wyrmguards. Of course, that's a result of his older brother taking the brunt of responsibility, and so he was left free to wander the world and have his own pursuits. He is loyal to his family almost to a fault doing what he can to support them when needed, but sometimes he gets distracted when an aesthetically pleasing person comes along. Still, like his older brother, once you've earned him as a true friend, then he is one for life. + |
| Draven Bruvir + | To say that Draven is a bundle of energy is quite the understatement of the century. He is almost always on the move and speaking just as fast, as if time may escape him too soon. For those unfamiliar with him, he may indeed be quite hard to keep up with, both physically and mentally. It takes a lot to bring him down and it looks as if he is always pondering or plotting something. + |
| Drea Redrain + | Drea has the advantage of age and purpose to weather the storms of courtly intrigue. She dislikes playing the games others nobles do and doesn't overtly try to cause waves at court, prefering the simple purity in the North. But woe be unto anyone that comes at her, trying to disparage her people, her Shamanistic faith, or, even worse, her children. Mother Bear does not begin to describe the ferocity the woman can display. Normally, she is a touch stoic, purely confident without needing to be cocky, wise, intelligent, and sure of purpose like few can be. She cares about people, but refuses to let them be weak, or take advantage of those she cares about. She fights with the fury of a storm, and loves just as fiercely. She smiles in the face of fanatic judgment, and simply outclasses any that try to disrespect her. And if she needs to, she?ll put a man through a wall. + |
| Drifa Seraceni + | Drifa is a prodigal through-and-through. She is fierce and more warrior and thief than any kind of civilized. She often finds herself in her cups or stalking out some score or plot for her next big haul. The thief holds little value in ownership and feels often that if the world were the way it should be that everything that can be taken -- should be taken. As a result, her greed and possessiveness of what is hers (or what she believes to be hers) borders on the comedic. She can be jovial, good-natured, daring, adventurous, and reckless; just so long as she's getting paid. + |
| Driskell Stillwater + | It is rare that anything seems to upset or alarm Driskell, a man who has served the Thraxan house of Darkwater for many years. He is always socially correct, although at times looks more warrior than steward and has no problems giving dry witty comments when the situation calls for them. He understands that his purpose for existence is to serve and he takes great pride in his work and status so that his employers can focus their attentions and resources without any distractions. + |
| Drusila + | At first glance Drusila is a woman easily figured out. She likes it when things are orderly, and hates it when things are out of control. She honors her oaths and taxes religiously, possesses impeccable etiquette, and has a knack for structures and hierarchies. Some lord and some serve, the strong eat the weak, the day belongs to the sun and the night to the moon. Simple. It is, however, in the details that Drusila shows the cracks of her immaculate persona. When she is very relaxed, the woman can be flirty and playful, acting her age, showing passion and a vivacious personality that is often reserved for few to see. At times of crisis, however, when her precious structures crumble, her eyes show something vengeful behind them, a fury that burns like a scorching inferno. Her mercurial moods go as fast as they come, but the heights they can achieve are dizzying, enthralling and frightening at the same time. + |

She honors her oaths and taxes religiously, possesses impeccable etiquette, and has a knack for structures and hierarchies.

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

He is in many ways a reflection of Pravus itself- smart, charming, and utterly ruthless. + |
| Dulcinea Telmar + | Dulcinea Telmar is brash and blithe, first to dance, lusty (but tuneful) in song, inclined to drink just ONE more glass of wine than she should, and entirely accustomed to getting her way. Did she want a pony? Yes. Did she get a pony? Guess. Her smiles are lovely and winning, her looks askance accompanied by a lift of fine, dark brows and a crooked smirk. She has a sardonic and biting wit when the situation calls, but it so /seldom/ calls. People are just lovely. On matters involving her homeland, she displays something approaching gravitas. There /are/ certain matters that bring forth a formidable woman from the child. + |
| Duncan Hawkmour + | Duncan is a man of apparent stoic mien and a tendency towards allowing others to take the limelight unless his direct involvement is necessary. He is a man of strong opinion, action, and little desire to 'waste time on frivololity'. Ultimately those closest to him know him as a man who is loyal to those that deserve it, who holds his word as bond of honor. He's a man of introspection, deep curiosity about the world, and a thirst for knowledge well suited to the House he leads. + |
| Dusa Iaso + | Reserved and serene, behaves in a calculating manner. While not a bleeding heart, possesses a great deal of empathy for those struggling in line. Most goals present are scientific in nature, trying to understand the world and how to improve the conditions of those living in it. Not naiive, but not jaded. + |
| Dustin Nidhogg + | There is a charm about the way he ignores the world around him. Some call him lazy, others aloof, but the fact of the matter is that he is the type to let things play out on their natural course. Though, when things require that he act, he does so with intelligence, precision, and charm. He never raises his voice and rarely takes any initiative in leadership, always preferring to work alone. + |
| Dycard Blackshore + | Lord Dycard Blackshore has an easy manner that makes others like him. That joking tone and teasing eye flatters everyone. He knows his limits and respects those that do not find his brand of flirtation to their suiting. He just moves on to the next one without any hard feelings. However, underneath that gentlemen courtier's demeanor is an iron will, steadfast heart and tenacious survivor who does /whatever/ he needs to thrive and survive. + |
| Dylan Coldrain + | Dylan Coldrain is a force to be reckoned with. He is strong and has a booming voice that makes it hard to miss him when he arrives. He has taken to living life to the fullest and he has a strong sense of honor. In his opinion, there is nothing that can't be solved with a good drink. It takes a lot to get him angry and very little to get him to have a drink or a dozen. He is over all a friendly man. + |
E | |
| Eamon Darkwater + | Quick to smile, slow to brood, eager to laugh, Eamon does not hold the stodgy, detached attitude that many might think a man devoted to the more abstract side of battle might. Yet all of this fades when he is put into a situation where he is needed, his demeanor turning hard and serious. Still, these occasions are rare, and he seems to have a good sense of when calls for what. Beyond that, he has a ravenous desire for books and knowledge, seeming convinced it will give him the edge he needs. If he doesn't have his hands on a copy of some book or a quill in his hand in the evening, even while laughing at the tavern with his friends, it is a very unusual sight indeed. + |
| Echo Redrain + | A quiet energy surrounds Echo, vivacious and friendly to all who seem approachable. Those around her who might be a little more rough around the edges would be greeted with a smile, and the rest should receive the delicate treatment that they require. A people person - One who, while initially demure and quiet, is quick to grab a friend by the wrist and take them on a wild adventure without a moment's notice. Filled to the brim with all sorts of persistence and determination, Echo often surprises herself more often than not. Her talents are typically ignored however, not through any ill intent; rather, the friendliness, companionship, and loyalty is far more important to her. Brimming beneath the affable surface is a love for danger and excitement. A hunger for things unknown. A desire to push on when it's best to pull back. That competitive edge might be what sets her apart, but she tends to tuck most of those feelings away beneath terribly knitted sweaters and only slightly better home-made pastries. + |
| Ectorion Valardin + | Ectorion is serious, sober and sincere, and strives to epitomize the knightly virtue to which he was raised. He has sometimes been accused of brooding, but in truth, he is a man who does not feel the need to fill each passing moment with random conversation and chatter. As content to sit in silence as to converse, it does not hinder his ability to maintain conversation when engaged. His study of engineering has given him a penchant for looking at things in an often quite different fashion, and he is known to make strange observations from time to time in a verbal shorthand that often leaves people unclear as to what he means. + |
| Edain Valardin + | Edain is honorable, loyal, chaste, merciful, honest and valorous. In short he is everything that a noble knight of the Valardin should be. He is bold and commanding, and he is a good leader of men in battle. His problem is that while he is a capable leader, he is a better follower. He was not only content, but indeed preferred that he was far from the line of succession and he just had to be the greatest knight he could be. Now that leadership is thrust upon him he is proud to bear it, and does his best to inspire confidence in his people. He feels out of his element forced to deal with the courts he has avoided for so long. He is well aware of his shortcoming, but he also knows full well he cannot afford to be seen as nothing more than a mouthpiece for his advisor's agenda. So he tries his best to keep his head above water on a battlefield where he can't just smite his opponents with a sword. It's a work in progress. + |
| Edda Greenwood + | Though typically a gentle giant, the more volatile parts of her are kept underneath of a tempered quietness and an agreeable manner. Her anger is volcanic rather than a steady heat,, with a tendency towards bursts of barbarity when loosened. Loyal to those she trusts and kind to those she believes are deserving of it, and showing a severe, grudging dislike for those that cross her. She may lack any senses of pettiness and the finer, devious thoughts of the nobility, though the sharp nail of a discrete wit, an earthy humor, and a distinct sense of rightness makes up for it. + |
| Eddard Clement + | Eddard is a man easily driven to joviality. Wine goes with lunch and dinner and white wine with breakfast. Something drives him to stand up and be taken notice of, to sing and draw a crowds attention. A people pleaser, if people pleasing involved making up tawdry bar songs to hopefully get people to sing along with. Having hard work for him is a very good way to make him scarce. + |
| Edelma Pierce + | Proud, strong, but funny! Dame Edelma Pierce has a great deal of strength of personality behind her. Truthful almost to a fault, Edelma has a hard time holding back when she believes strongly about something, even when etiquette might demand her silence. She has a soldier's way of looking at the world, deeply grounded and practical. Yet she is not without a certain idealistic streak. Her personal honor and the honor of Giant's Reach are paramount to her, and she has a deeply protective streak both for her House and for her small squad of knights and (mostly) women-at-arms that follow her. She is quick and resourceful, a fast thinker who is unafraid to get quippy and deliver sass with her whoopass. + |
| Edith Foxwood + | In a word, Edith is jaded. She's seen a lot in her life, and while some of it is wonderous and fulfilling, so very much more of it is tragic and heartbreaking. She's tired, but she's determined to keep going and do what she can to help. Tired and tireless, somehow. Enduring as the ancient trees of the Grey Forest, willing to shelter and protect those in need. + |
| Edris Elwood + | Quiet, though more out of some internal calm rather than antisocial or brooding behavior, Edris seems to epitomize being the dependable rock in the storm. He is rarely the first to speak, though his insights when offered are keen. His smiles are rare, though when they are given they are often very much as warming and welcoming as a sudden sunbreak. Though unfailingly polite and attentive, there is a mantle of reserve that often settles over him except to those most familiar to him. And for those he knows well, there is a playful and witty sense of humor that occasionally cuts through the stoicism that he wears as his usual face to the world. + |
| Edward Redreef + | Observant, Studious + |
| Edward Stormbreak + | At the outset Edward is a naturally charming gentleman, who some may consider, is an annoying adherent to a lot of the rules of etiquette and propriety. Often Edward tends to be a quiet man and often takes to observing his surroundings watching the behaviors and actions of others and speaking only when he must in large groups. But buried deep he has the natural aggression and ruthlessness of any Thrax man, combine this with a notable character flaw of holding onto grudges, and this may eventually get him into trouble. + |
| Edwyn Valardin + | If Edwyn had a first choice for Great Houses to be born into, it would probably have not been Valardin. Though raised to strive for the ideal of the gleaming Valardin knight, it is hardly a role he takes to naturally, even if he may have a small talent with mount, mace and sword. Neither has he excelled in the few other roles he has tried to put his mind to - not faithful enough to sincerely serve the gods, not diligent enough to care for mathematics and stewardship, not charming and cunning enough to be a politician, he doesn't know what he can really be, nor what he wants to be. He is, at least, outgoing enough to enjoy a cup of tea here and there, and schooled well in his courtesies. Neither is he particularly dumb, though he is something of a natural follower, prone more to following than to making his own decisions. + |
| Egil Frost + | Surviving, let alone prospering, as he has -- and despite his beginnings -- has engendered in the sellsword a smug confidence and smart mouth that exceed the warrant of his low birth and station, but which oft appears to come more from a playful, rowdy temperament than from genuine egotism. While perhaps he may be put in his place, and have his tune changed, he's a mercurial, self-interested sort -- though not one predisposed to cruelty for cruelty's sake, nor much for the elaborate intricacies of courtly intrigue. + |
| Egon Maw + | Egon Maw is a wall: nothing seems able to breach whatever defenses he has set up for himself. Dour and almost irrevocably cynical, he seems more an old man disappointed with life rather than the still burgeoning youth that he is. Yet, it is hardly overt. Everything about him seems vague and unformed as if there might be something more that's hidden just beneath the surface, or perhaps nothing at all. + |
| Eilonwy Blackwood + | Unburdened by the social structures of Arvum's domesticated populace, Eilonwy is spirited. She smiles readily and often. Hers is a chin kept up right and she often finds reason to laugh. Underneath all this however is a thread of violence. She might love the lighter side of life, but she will do what she must to survive. + |
| Eilonwy Thunderoak + | Unburdened by the social structures of Arvum's domesticated populace, Eilonwy is spirited. She smiles readily and often. Hers is a chin kept up right and she often finds reason to laugh. Underneath all this however is a thread of violence. She might love the lighter side of life, but she will do what she must to survive. + |
| Einarr Charon + | You know where Einarr is at any time. He is a Loud and very jovial man. When he is angry, he is screaming for blood, when he is in battle he laughs. He is a simple man and enjoys his wine, women and war. He is very gregarious, curious and aggressive. He has a strong laugh and a roar that can be heard across a battle field. + |
| Eiran Laurent + | Charming but flighty, reckless but irresolute, dramatic and sensationalist and sensualist and a little careless: the devil-may-care smile that Eiran can summon to his features is every bit as real as the soulful look in his puppydog eyes. As a social chameleon, he might be more successful if his transformations were more complete. He makes a great friend because he's ready to throw himself whole-heartedly into the interests and foci of others without really holding tight to any of his own. He suffers from a kind of serial monogamy of the passion: he can't decide what he wants to do with himself in the long term. Maybe he'll be a knight. Maybe he'll be a playwright. Maybe he'll give it all up and become a florist! Fuck everything, where's his horse? Let's go hunting. + |
| Eirene Malvici + | Bedside manner is for cushy quacks catering to nobles with a runny nose. Eirene is the kind of medic you want at your side when your wounds take you off the battlefield and into the triage tent; blunt, factual, and entirely dedicated to getting you back on your feet to kill the bastard who did this to you. She's become jaded and gruff over the years of seeing 'their little buggers' die but she genuinely cares. She just can't afford to care too much. She's a queen of gallows humor and can find anything funny if she wants to. + |
| Eirik Coldrain + | To put is simply: he is a more quiet person. But when he does speak it is typically either wise, comical or very important. Some have called him gruff or rough but is only around the edges. He has a heart of gold and is rather protective of those he loves. Despite how his silence may come off as possibly rude or ignoring those speaking. This is not so he's merely watching the people in the room he prefers people watching over legitimate social interaction. But once you befriend him he'll laugh drink and party with you whenever. + |
| Eirlys Greenmarch + | Eirlys seems to have an instinctive sense for social cues and rarely seems to be out of place in her surroundings despite being both young and a prodigal. Rarely reserved, she's outgoing in nature and generally wears a smile on her face. Sweet and caring, she is nonetheless fiercely loyal to her family. + |
| Eithne Thornburn + | Never take life too seriously. Never hold yourself back from doing what you really want to do. There are no limits or boundaries to what one can do and achieve. Eithne lives by these mottos and mantras much to the chagrin of her mother. She is her father's daughter through and through, from her coloring, to her personality, to the profession she's chosen to take. The woman enjoys every day to the fullest as though it were her last. She's quick with a joke and would never turn down a tankard of ale or two. Just because she's petite doesn't mean she wouldn't try to drink the largest man in the tavern under the table. Her flirtations only take her so far; They are all in good fun since she's not yet ready to find a man to 'settle' down with and have children. She enjoys being physical whether it be working with her hands or partaking in a friendly spar, Eithne can't find it in herself to stay still. Being one of seven children has always meant that she has to share everything with her siblings. Just for once she'd like something to be completely hers and hers alone. + |
| Elara Helios + | Elara was one a warm, smiling, and jovial woman. But death and loss and betrayal have turned her grim, remote, and some would say even cold or cruel. The loss of two husbands in her short life has left her bitter. She hides her grief behind a cold demeanor. Occasionally the hard mask slips and a glimmer of the bright and beautiful soul can be seen. + |
| Elara Kennex + | Elara was one a warm, smiling, and jovial woman. But death and loss and betrayal have turned her grim, remote, and some would say even cold or cruel. The loss of two husbands in her short life has left her bitter. She hides her grief behind a cold demeanor. Occasionally the hard mask slips and a glimmer of the bright and beautiful soul can be seen. + |
| Eleanor Allenatore + | She is cheerful and chipper. She is a morning person. She is certain that tomorrow will be better than today, and she is sure that if it isn't, it's because she just didn't try hard enough and she'll do a better job next time. It would be off-putting, except that she is also unfailingly kind, and she tries so hard and is so very earnest that the more cynical around her catch themselves smiling and find themselves hoping she's right about what tomorrow brings. + |
| Eleyna Velenosa + | While few would consider Eleyna an especially kind woman, she is a generous one in her effort to live up to the ideal that the Velenosa do not merely punish those that have harmed them but reward those who are loyal. As one might expect for a woman that started life as just another disposable cousin and worked her way to Grand Duchess of the Lyceum, Eleyna is focused and intelligent, determined to unite the Lyceum in an unstable age. Yet, those that fall under the banner of friends and loved ones see the warmth and humor beneath the ice and ruthless ambition. + |
| Elfriede Waters + | One needs not stare long to summarize the disposition of this here creature one gazes upon. That look that fosters little to no sympathy; that perpetual stringing of her lips that accentuates a lingering disdain. Elfriede has lived a grey and black life that has spared her a want to ever loosen the shell of her emotions to those that'd pry for them. When addressed, her words are monosyllabic and surgical; when amused, an unmannerly hum or hem may rise, and when brought to a conundrum of feelings she's much like a shelled creature, and will retreat into the quiet foreboding of her much-loved silence. And with it, reveal nothing. She shows a fondness for wild creatures, and a predisposition to give in to her wanderlust when left to her own devices. She perceives violence as a natural rule of life, and takes part in it with nary a hint of pleasure, but a sense of dark, brooding duty. + |
| Elgana Redrain + | No two snowflakes are alike, and so no two conversations with Elgana will ever be exactly the same. She delights in being unexpected. Airy, breezy and flirtatious, Elgana is rarely direct when she can act the coquette. She loves to dance with her feet almost as much as she loves to dance with her words. She loves parties and can derive great joy from intimate social gatherings as much as from roaring schmoozes. She'd rather be a lover than a fighter and she'd rather avoid conflicts than start them; if she can derail one by making an oddball joke, starting a dance, or giving a bouquet of flowers, she will be all over that. But she has an uncanny knack for observing and understanding social situations; she isn't ever weird for no reason, but always, always to a purpose. + |
| Eliana Steinmaison + | Eliana is a clutz and is completely cursed in the kitchen. She can be a danger to those around her just due to the fact that she might trip on something and cause a catastrophic cascade of bad luck occurring around her. Beware! Yet despite her short-comings and her horrible bad luck, she has a bright personality, hopeful and eager. She's very naive it seems, not very street smart, yet is eager to please and make people happy. When those around her are pleased or happy with her, it's the greatest gift she could receive. Could be due to the fact that she's a walking bad luck totem, and people rarely praise her. + |
| Elias Leary + | There is a quiet confident strength and power to Elias. Contrasting the world around him, Elias is not at all about overstated declarations of passion or ferocity. That's not to say that he doesn't possess those fierce and fiery traits, but with Elias, still waters run deep and often more dangerously than shallow babbling brooks. A man of action, he seems to put more value on things that affect him in his daily life -- a good drink, pleasant company or the thrill of a good hunt speak significantly more to him. + |
| Elio Tortorici + | Elio is man of subtly. He is not stoic by any means, but is not one to be overt in his strong reactions and knows the benefit of keeping his cards close to his chest. He is still friendly and easy to smile and joke, keen to maintaining decorum when needed and able to let loose when not. Inquisitive by nature he also is not in possession of the best sense of patience and would much rather do than plan. + |
| Elise Whisper + | She is not exactly talkative, but she isn't exactly reserved. She knows exactly how much to talk, and when to. She is well versed in the ettiquete of many social strata, so she does a great job of fitting in, in just about every situation. She knows all the right things to say, and to whom to say them. She finds it easy to work her way in to any conversation. + |
| Elisha Falle + | Dreamy--or more charitably, meditative. No; definitely dreamy. Chatty when he's frightened, and he's often frightened. Fundamentally shameless, though also embarrassed by minor, trivial things. A junkie, an addict, who will try anything just to see what happens. He has a hard time telling reality from imagination--truth from lies, too. + |
| Eliza Lavann + | She is curious to a fault, even when prudence or discretion would seem to advise against it. There is a hunger for new things in her that can at times amount to obsession: new knowledge first and foremost, but also new experiences, new perspectives on life. Experience has taught her a degree of caution by now, but her adventuresome spirit is still likely to land her in trouble. + |
| Elizabetha Grayson + | Elizabetha's sunny eyes and smile conceal no artifice. With a flair for dramatics, she is, at the surface, unsubtly whimsical and inclined to showmanship. She exaggerates, she embellishes, and can play up any facade. The moments of quiet are what draw out something beneath the vim and verve, a depth of artistic thought and pragmatic romanticism. To many, her affinity for numbers and academic rigor strikes as a surprise, reflected in her infatuation with alchemy. + |
| Elloise Leary + | Elloise is smart. Like, beyond smart. She is so smart that she tends to see the world from an entirely different perspective than the average person and this causes her to come across as a bit off-beat at times. She will pick up on connections and patterns that escape most people's notice and it's not an infrequent thing for her to completely detour a conversation because of a random thought she's had. Elly is very excited about learning and discovering new things and this bubbly and chipper enthusiasm lends her an adorable charm that keeps her from becoming an outcast. She is mostly a good egg although sometimes she gets blinded by the drive to discover. When that happens, she can slip into moral grey areas. Oops! She's, like, 76.156% good egg and 23.844% bad egg. Elly could provide a more accurate measurement but she'd need to run some tests to figure it out. Although very intelligent, she can be oblivious in social settings (that doesn't mean she doesn't love parties though; they are their own kind of experiment -- sooo interesting) and is utterly without guile, making her vulnerable to those who might wish to manipulate this blind spot of hers. + |

| Elonso Pravus + | Elonso is very easy to talk to. It's his personal warmth. He's genuinely interested in people, in what they have to say, in their visions and dreams for the future. He has a knack for insinuating himself in many different kinds of company, and it's probably his sincerity that is his best trait. Many Lycenes banter with wit and words, and he can do that, but he doesn't have a vested interest in proving himself cleverer than anybody; for one thing, he privately already knows that he is, but for another, proving your superiority is no way to make friends. He loses games of oneupsmanship happily. He loses most games happily and with equanimity, from chess to poker, watching the reactions of his opponents and buying them friendly drinks afterwards. As a flirt, he is elusive and mysterious but intimate, with a heart-melting wink that he'll share at a moment's glance when nobody but you is looking. As a friend, he is ready with an ear and a glass of fine wine to listen to any problem and he'll laugh at any joke. As an enemy, he ... why, who could possibly have Elonso Pravus for an enemy? He's just so likeable. + |
| Elora Ravenseye + | Gentle, quiet, ingenuous. Elora prefers the company of animals, knowing them to be open and honest, never causing her to guess their intentions. The woman has a harder time when it comes to opening up and trusting people. However, once you have her trust, you have a friend for life. She will protect the people that she loves with all of her ferocity. A kitten's ferocity, but ferocity nonetheless. + |
| Elora Whitehawk + | Gentle, quiet, ingenuous. Elora prefers the company of animals, knowing them to be open and honest, never causing her to guess their intentions. The woman has a harder time when it comes to opening up and trusting people. However, once you have her trust, you have a friend for life. She will protect the people that she loves with all of her ferocity. A kitten's ferocity, but ferocity nonetheless. + |
| Elpenor Ru-Taul + | Elpenor is very laid back. He can be very casual and informal even to the point of allowing soldiers under his command to use an informal nickname in place of his rank. He often makes jokes and quips much to the dismay of his enemies and sometimes even his own comrades. The only time he every gets angry is when he is dealing with slavers or slave owners. He does not show mercy to them. + |
| Elrych Holzfahller + | Elrych is quiet and serious. While not without morals and a conscious, he follows orders and lives to be on the battlefield. He speaks only when he feels it it important and is not one for idle conversation usually. He longs one day to be granted land in the Oathlands and perhaps settle down. However, his stoic demeanor and seemingly harsh warrior mentality leave him hard pressed to form any lasting relationship... especially with his occupation. He takes pride in both his heritage and his service to the Lyonesse. + |
| Elsa Shepherd + | A wild heart beats hard beneath the layers of charm, civility, and etiquette. Elsa commands a room when she enters it, that intricately woven blend of rapacious ferocity and captivating charisma allowing her to move effortlessly through noble society. Decades spent slipping back and forth between two worlds have honed her instincts and taste to a razor's edge. + |
| Elsbetta Farshaw + | The naive optimist matured into a determined realist with a firm sense of nobility. On first blush Elsbetta Farshaw is an incredibly bright and bubbly woman, but underneath it is a steel backbone and an intense pragmatism. She is aware that every thing you voice, every expression you give, every action you take makes an impression on the world around you. She has chosen to make the impression she leaves a positive one. Not haplessly optimistic but socially aware, Elsbetta does her best to lift others up despite the pain and suffering they have faced. + |
| Elyid Acheron + | Although Elyid makes no attempt to conceal his shamanistic religious views while dealing with other members of the Compact, particularly Oathlanders, it's been said that... well, when it comes from his mouth it's just so much more palatable! Conversational, funny, and just a little bit daring, Elyid is practiced in making others feel heard and seen. Even if they haven't been! + |
| Elyse Crown + | Elyse is cheerful, sometimes to the point that she's driven people mad with her good natured laughter and always seeing the bright side of things. It's also been known to put people at ease, and cause them to grossly underestimate her. She's just as ruthless as is usually expected from someone in her position, and she's willing to do the dirtiest jobs. But always with a smile. + |
| Elysio Forza + | Vanity diluted by personal integrity, Elysio is a contradiction of practiced ethereal mystique and sincere warmth grounded in the loss of great privilege. His cultured charm makes him adept at soliciting admirers from near and afar without compromising himself, though a lifetime as scion to a disgraced noble house has bred melancholic undercurrents to the former lord's curated aesthetic. + |
| Emara Grayhope + | Life would probably be a whole lot easier for Emara if she hadn't been blessed with a terrible temper and a sharp tongue. While those traits got her into plenty of trouble when she was young, they've been mellowed over time. Though, if looks could kill, she'd have an even worse reputation than she already does. For all that her ability to eviscerate someone with words is well known, she's also considered kind in her way and wise. She's never really wrong in her observations even if she doesn't sugar coat them. + |
| Ember Redleaf + | Ember is a vicious, mean, and without mercy. She has seized authority in her barony with an ambition that has outright frightened the men around her. Sometimes a blatant flirt, she has a tendency to act a bit masculine in how she goes about behaving, since so many take her feminine figure as a sign of weakness. + |
| Ember Redreef + | Passionate, ambitious and bold, Ember rules by dint of force of personality. She works hard, aggressive and confident, and brooks no disrespect. To be a woman that has lived the life she has lived in the Mourning Isles, strength is required. Image-breaking came naturally to her. She is crisp, acerbic, and allergic to nonsense. Yet she is not without enjoyment in life. She enjoys aggressive men, challenging games of chance, and fights that get the blood hot. Though she has a reputation that suggests merciless crushing of all who stand against her, those who speak to her directly might find that exaggerated: not reckless cruelty, but relentless competence, is her stock in trade. + |
| Emberly Crovane + | Emberly is confident and gentle, she is as gentle as a leaf, and embraces such things as music and social intrigue. She can be a great companion and knows all the rules of etiquette. Emberly is also assured in her skills as a sailor and gunsmith and has a smidgen of joy when she can help explosions happen. + |
| Emberly Crown + | Emberly is confident and gentle, she is as gentle as a leaf, and embraces such things as music and social intrigue. She can be a great companion and knows all the rules of etiquette. Emberly is also assured in her skills as a sailor and gunsmith and has a smidgen of joy when she can help explosions happen. + |

She can be a great companion and knows all the rules of etiquette. Emberly is also assured in her skills as a sailor and gunsmith and has a smidgen of joy when she can help explosions happen. + |
| Emele Greenblood + | Emele finds the world around her absolutely brimming with beauty. She always was a dreamer, a woman with her head in the clouds, but transferring those dreams to canvas or to metal takes some serious work and she knows it. She's generally happy and enjoys life, finding inspiration in everything and beauty in the smallest things. How could one be sad when the world is so beautiful? She's quick to smile, quick to laugh, and quick to be inspired, but she's learned the value of hard work and focus when it's needed, and isn't shy about applying herself to make things happen. + |
| Emeline Smith + | Enchanting when she wants something and quite vengeful if she doesn't have her way. Quite the little troublemaker. + |
| Emeric Redrain + | Emeric is an entitled prince who believes the world is for his fun. It is for romancing men and women, letting things fall as they may. Rarely does he focus on serious things, preferring to spend his time doing things that are fun. Though he'll avoid hard work or things he decides is 'boring' Emeric doesn't shrink his duties, he merely does his best to avoid situations where they are fostered upon him. Once Emeric has been given a task he will carry it through to the end, not letting it slide, unless it falls into something out of his hands. His temper is quick to set off, especially when drinking, but just as quickly he forgives. There is no fun in holding a grudge, after all. + |
| Emery Ojitfor + | Inquisitive and passionate. Emery wants to know everything about everything, but her loyalties are quite set. She sees herself as a woman rescued, if narrowly, and has a kind of traumatized undercurrent to anything she speaks fervidly about. She's one of those people who is slow to trust, but once she trusts, it is almost unconditional. + |
| Emilia Godsworn + | Love and adoration, for all her righteous fellows that stand in her rank and file, and for all those that seek her for protection, is the crux of Emilia's personality; And exactly because of this, her righteous fury and hatred for the apostate and heretic is boundless. Emilia is fiercely religious and single-minded in her purpose to protect its teachings and shield the Compact from evil, no matter where it may be-- within or without. But few are those who have seen her so, and many know her as someone who is honest, straight-forward, generous and graceful. Every day she treats like a blessing from the Gods, and every Creature with life she loves equally. She abhors violence, even though she is a master of it, and very rarely will she ever resort to it-- she will sooner run, hide or even prefer to be the one injured than injure another, in hopes of avoiding further aggression. However, should the cohorts of evil, the unrighteous or dishonorable, stand before her, she will not hesitate or show mercy. She strives to be the pillar of stability in every community she ventures into, and selflessly gives to accommodate all within. She never shares her reasons for why she does any of it, and just as surely, she shields the secrets of others. + |

| Emily Deepwood + | She is restless. There is something frenetic about her even when she is sitting still, as though she can't wait to be off and moving again. When she speaks she speaks quickly, and jumps from topic to topic as though one is never enough for her to focus on in a single moment in time. When she doesn't speak she is taking in her surroundings, cataloguing everything and saving it for later. Perceptive and intelligent, not much slips by her notice. And though it can be charming, her split focus and interest in everything makes her a little excitable and a little impatient. + |
| Emlyn Blackram + | Emlyn is forever curious - and he thinks deeply. A subject can consume him for days, hours, weeks, unable to rest until he knows everything about it. He reads books until the spines are cracked and bent, the pages near to being all but torn out, with his own notes written about the page margins and wherever else they'll fit. He is serious, but that doesn't mean he's always serious; laughter and smiles seem to come almost easily to him when in the right setting. He is warm, kind, and eager to fit in where he can - but make no mistake, he is also very ambitious and his goals aren't easily tampered with. + |
| Emma Valardin + | Emma feels guilty over not having been there for her parents and sisters when the Tragedy happened. She rather have died with them, but she did not, and now this black stain will forever live in her chest. This is also what fuels Emma: her mercy was repaid in betrayal and violence, the Valardin slaughtered like pigs a a butcher's shop, and the fool she was died with them. In her exterior, Emma has finally arrived at the place she was always meant to be, where her parents were concerned: no longer the humble Mercy-to-be, she dresses appropriately to a Princess of Sanctum. Her countenance is impeccable and her presence in the field of battle is nothing short of inspiring. Her knights often say that having her lead them is like having Valar at their backs, and given the trail of fire Emma leaves at times, it is hard to argue the position. Although humorless when it comes to most things, Emma does have a more vulnerable side that she seldom displays, afraid of the weakness it might reveal. + |
| Emmelline Harthall + | Emmelline is very socialble and amiable. she strives to bring beauty in to the world, through her arts, and often aims to please others. She is not easy to anger, and often attempts to avoid conflicts. Overall, she is very optimistic, and always attempts to see things from all perspectives, should a conflict arise. + |
| Emmerly tyde + | Jolly and energetic, Emmerly only spends any time completely still if she's asleep or on the job. Her working face lacks the solemnity some manage to achieve, a smile shining even in the midst of battle. Outside of the job, you'll often find an excitedly tapping foot or an arm waving in animated conversation. She's quick with a smile or a laugh, and has a hard time holding a grudge, her temper fading out as quick as it flares up. + |
| Emrys Whisper + | There are those who charm, who smile and seduce. Those whose very laughter is music, warm like sunlight on a summer day. Emrys is not one such person. Intimidating and with a sharp intellect, his is an authorative presence, a gravitas he uses to ground discussions and negotiations into the world of facts and reason, rather than the one of emotions and petty pride. Disciplined and diligent, he expects the best from his pupils, pushing them past the limits they set themselves, intent on unlocking their full potential. Ever polite in public, a model of etiquette, he becomes far blunter and direct in private, dispensing with the unnecessary formalities to get to the heart of things, no matter the tender feelings that might be trampled in the process. + |
| Enid Frost + | In first meeting, Enid is a stoic woman. She emits an underlying hesitance to engage, social barriers built as high as the guard walls of Stormheart. Every coin bears two sides though and the Northerner is no different. To her people and friends, the shaman is as warm as a hearth and known more locally as a good ear and counsel. + |
| Ennettia Igniseri + | If there is a chair in a room, Ennettia will sit. If there is a chaise or bed, she will lounge. If there's a bowl of fresh fruit she'll lament the tragedy that it is unpeeled, and if someone peels the fruit she'll request it also be cut in bite size, aesthetically pleasing portions. Ennettia is, in short, never one to skimp on her own comfort. Words like vain, lazy, narcissistic, self-indulgent and spoiled are scattered before her in a reputation only a Lycene would admire. And yet she's charming despite - or because - of her honesty in regards to her pampered nature. Nor is she materialistic, or greedy: she is generous and affectionate to her friends, loathes only the painfully dull, and has a mind as sharp as her tongue, when she bothers to use it. + |
| Enoch Grayson + | Enoch, due to his rough past, has a hard exterior and can often come off as cold or insensitive. However, to those who know him best? He's actually an extremely caring and loyal individual. Though he has a habit of only showing warmth to his friends, he's not quite boisterous and tends to be serious more often than not. He enjoys a more grim and subtle sense of humor, often using sarcasm and wit in serious situations to help keep up morale. He's impossibly stubborn, and alas, has a unhealthy habit of taking tremendous and dangerous risks with no regard for himself. + |
| Enri Jaeggere + | Taking after his patron god, Enri is a very laid back person, hard to anger, even when being personally offended. His desire for freedom has led to a non-interference posture, where he cares immediately about those close to him (his family and fealty, namely) and only then thinks about the consequences that his actions might have to others. This knight is not a man to second guess, carefully planning his decision, but adhering by them with some hint of stubborness. + |
| Entropoly Ulbran + | The best solution is often the easiest solution, and the easiest solution is often the application of force and violence. Without anything to apply themselves to in this way, they tend to laze about. Blunt application of opinions makes due when there is no opportunity to make a blunt application of objects. They know their lifestyle will likely end short, but they've convinced themselves that it will at least burn bright until it does and so they act to extremes. + |
| Enya Blackram + | Enya acts like a stereotypical old crazy woman. Consistently speaking in broken sentences, losing her train of thought, and occasionally making no sense at all. However, despite all of this, she surprises from time to time with revelations only possible with the sharpest attention, focus, and wisdom. + |
| Enyo De Lire + | Gregarious to a fault, one might say. Enyo loves having people around, she loves being in a crowd, and often spends just a little too long in conversations when some might have already moved on. She is friendly, and potentially hasn't ever met someone that she wasn't willing to talk to, whether she likes them or not. But in contrast to that, she is capable of silence as well given the right circumstances, and doesn't seem to need to fill the air with chatter when the time is not right. Thoughtful and careful with words more often than not, but at the same time unafraid to speak up in defense of self, others, or a cause she finds dear. Enyo is also a person who can shift easily between warmth and kindness to cool aloofness given the situation. And when she is particularly riled she also possesses a stubborn streak that often gives itself with a set of her jaw or a sardonic lift of her an eyebrow. + |
| Enyo Gilden + | Gregarious to a fault, one might say. Enyo loves having people around, she loves being in a crowd, and often spends just a little too long in conversations when some might have already moved on. She is friendly, and potentially hasn't ever met someone that she wasn't willing to talk to, whether she likes them or not. But in contrast to that, she is capable of silence as well given the right circumstances, and doesn't seem to need to fill the air with chatter when the time is not right. Thoughtful and careful with words more often than not, but at the same time unafraid to speak up in defense of self, others, or a cause she finds dear. Enyo is also a person who can shift easily between warmth and kindness to cool aloofness given the situation. And when she is particularly riled she also possesses a stubborn streak that often gives itself with a set of her jaw or a sardonic lift of her an eyebrow. + |
| Enyo Malvici + | Gregarious to a fault, one might say. Enyo loves having people around, she loves being in a crowd, and often spends just a little too long in conversations when some might have already moved on. She is friendly, and potentially hasn't ever met someone that she wasn't willing to talk to, whether she likes them or not. But in contrast to that, she is capable of silence as well given the right circumstances, and doesn't seem to need to fill the air with chatter when the time is not right. Thoughtful and careful with words more often than not, but at the same time unafraid to speak up in defense of self, others, or a cause she finds dear. Enyo is also a person who can shift easily between warmth and kindness to cool aloofness given the situation. And when she is particularly riled she also possesses a stubborn streak that often gives itself with a set of her jaw or a sardonic lift of her an eyebrow. + |
| Eos Saik + | On the surface and off the battlefield, Eos is as most honorable noblemen are. He makes good on his word and adheres to propriety in the public eye, reserving anything but the most proper and formal presentation of himself to those closest to him. He is a sure and soft-spoken man who chooses his words and tone with purpose. He savors life's indulgences and denies himself little, but never to excess or beyond the means of his purse. He enjoys the quiet company of his animals - a veteran warhorse and a three-legged retired war hound - almost as much as people. He is never unduly cruel, but does not shy from harsh truths; a velvet glove over an iron fist. The one place this all breaks away and he personifies the lion the Saiks are often likened to is with a sword in his hand and blood in the soil. + |
| Ephraim Mercier + | Ephraim is and has always been an outgoing and adventurous man with a quick wit and barbed tongue. He is well known for his archery, his temper, and his keen intellect, all of which made him popular back at home and wherever he happened to travel. He's intent on trying everything at least once, and this curiosity has led him to do everything from direct a play to fighting for mercenary company in Lenosia. His skills in tracking, animal empathy, and stealth have made him uniquely gifted in his wanderlust and he has capitalized on them on more than a few occasions. Though on the surface he is a carefree spirit, Ephraim is also a very intelligent man: he did well in his studies when he didn't grow bored and abandon them. He is very well versed in the subjects which interest him, and opinionated as well. + |
| Ephrath Drake + | Ephrath is not a shy woman, but she is a reserved one. She simply withholds her thoughts and her exuberance for the right time; right place; right people. While she can be very focused, intent, and excitable over certain things -- such as her craft -- she is the utter opposite when it comes to everything else in that she can be cold, distant, and even flippant about things that do not interest her. When she is in her element, comfortable, and interested it may be nigh impossible to shut her up, but if she doesn't care about something it is equally likely that she'll simply change topics as it is she'll wander off. + |
| Erasmus Tyde + | Despite his storied reputation as sailor and soldier, Erasmus' greatest trait - or curse, depending on how you see it - was an inability to let somebody down. Family, House, comrades in arms, it didn't matter. The needs of the many always far eclipsed anything personal Erasmus might have wished for. Some referred to him, jokingly, as the fish out of water - how could a man so caring and devoted to others have been born to Thrax? He would take others burdens as his own, and keep the faith when everything seemed dark. But there's dark, then there's Darkwater deeps. After interminable years lost and suddenly returned to light, he truly is adrift, seeking familiarity in a strange city, his old comrades and family long departed. The best of Erasmus may have been left behind under the surface. Plagued by nightmares, half-remembered shadows, Erasmus is encumbered by the gnawing knowledge that all the intrigues of Arx pale against what lies beyond. Nevertheless has a House to serve again, and perhaps that sense of duty will serve as the guiding star to bring him back to the man he once was - before he is dragged under forever. + |
| Erela Blackhurst + | Orphan. Fiercely loyal. Stubborn. Eerily Quiet. Erela Blackhurst cant really deny those things. Shes learned to be very loyal to those that shes close to in her life, but the King comes first. Followed by the Kings Own. If someone dares to take a verbal jab at her unknown parentage shes been rumored to get violent. + |
| Eric Thrax + | A romantic in love with the seas and its bounty! + |
| Erik Grimhall + | Erik Grimhall has a somewhat reserved personality for one born and raised in the Isles. He is a thoughtful man, an intellectual despite pressure from the family to put his books aside and focus on sailing and fighting. It is likely that fact, that among his kin his true interests were often mocked in his youth, which makes him careful to open up to new people. Once one gets him talking on a topic of interest however, he can go on for hours and hours on end. He believes that House Grimhall, and perhaps the Islanders in general, would benefit from education that goes beyond the basics. He does not hide these interests any longer but embraces them, associating with intellectual and scholarly pursuits whenever possible. He's also a charming man and well aware of it, flirtatious at times when someone captures his interest, though beauty alone never seems to do so. + |
| Erika Blackwood + | Erika is a wild, passionate woman, whose emotions can range from the extremes of fiery joy to icy indifference. She's stubborn and determined, and has a deep affinity for the wilds and its animals. While she enjoys the company of people, she also feels most at home amongst the trees of the forests and peaks of the snowy Northern mountains, where she spent so much time with her father. Despite her loss, she's free spirited, full of life and vigour, and enjoys her drink and wry humour. Fiercely loyal, she stands to fight for those she loves, making up for not being there when she was most need. Harbouring a sense of guilt and anguish, and a deep hatred for the Heralds, Brand, and his Bringers, Erika would tear the mountains apart with her bare hands to protect those who can't protect themselves, and avenge those already lost. + |
| Eris Ibrianis + | Eris is not one for pretty words or flowery language, and can often be described by those who meet her as taciturn and abrupt. Polite and exceptionally kind for a seemingly brusque woman, Eris prides herself both on her prowess on the field and her dedication and loyalty. Her thoughts are generally a closed book to most, rendering her a woman of few words. + |
| Esera Velenosa + | A naturally gifted actress, Esera has an intuitive grasp of what an audience expects from her and how to modify her approach to achieve her ends. For commoners expecting a leader of iron resolve, she is every inch the elegant and confident Grand Duchess of the Lyceum prepared to rule with a smile of steel and silk. For stiffly honorable nobles wishing to gravely discuss solutions to the Realm's woes, the duchess never falters in presenting a kind and stately diplomatic veneer. Privately, she might laugh at the notion that she is described as 'kind' or 'sweet' or any other like terms, when it is strictly business- she believes full well that doing small injuries and petty slights are among the quickest ways to gather enemies for no good purpose, and Esera does rather little without purpose. In private she is still every bit as charming if far more wicked, but even without her public mask on her games of manipulation do not cease. It's not that she's unaware she is doing it, and has become so accustomed to manipulation it's second nature- no, she legitimately enjoys the sport of it, and it's a private thrill to play the game, play it very well, and play to win. + |
| Eshken Greenblood + | Sharp tongued, dry toned, and perceptive. Eshken is a man of sarcastic bent. He is not unkind just no nonsense and lacking in patience for foolishness. Generally well meaning in the things that he does, and willing to help others in need. He's straight forward and efficient. He's not necessarily an overly cheerful man but neither is he particularly melancholy. He's steadfast, grounded, and very pragmatic. + |
| Eshra Rivenshari + | Eshra is fiercely protective of her people, seeing it as her job to make sure the old ways are not forgotten now that they've joined the Compact. Voice to her people, she is conscious on how all eyes view the newest House under the Greenmarch mantle. She will not let others insult her prodigal heritage or discount the contributions that Rivenshari bring with their knowledge of the sailing and connection to the spirits. + |
| Eskandar Whisper + | Eskander is a friendly, outgoing young man with a ready smile and always seems to have the right answer or a quip. He does his best to accomodate (reasonable) requests made of him and always seems prepared to offer his expertise or advice on a great many matters. These can range from the delicate to the common. From how to apologize without losing face to what decorations one ought to use at the next ball or party, he can do it. He never seems to ask for much in return, but he will remind you, in so many words, that he's done you a favor - and perhaps he might want one in return some day. + |
| Esme Fidante + | Esme is a vibrant woman who has always marched to the beat of her own drummer among the throngs of Fidante cousins in the city of Tor. It is not that she is so vastly different from the others but her approach and her genuine enthusiasm stands out like a sunflower in a field of green. She has an easy going and carefree spirit about her that only adds to her effervescent aura. Her love of Limerance and all things courtly love should not be mistaken for one who stops to smell the roses and forgets about honor and duty. Esme is devoted to all things she is most passionate about; Her family, being a Devotion of Limerance, and of course leading the Calvary of Roses. Her love of horses is something Esme says has been in her blood since birth. Esme is a levelheaded woman who thinks first and acts second unless of course some sort of external force threatens those things which are sacred to her. + |
| Esoka Greenblood + | Esoka is a hothead with a fierce attachment to her own dignity. She takes failures personally and struggles to build herself up each time she falls. A perfectionist with a chip on her shoulder, she sometimes creates more problems for herself with her insecurity than she can solve with her confidence. With that said, there is nothing to be found wanting with her courage, her integrity, or her interest in duty. She cares passionately about her people, and when her heart is given, she loves whole-heartedly and with a fierce, romantic idealism. Intensely organized, it drives Esoka nuts when things -- or people -- are out of order, and she has an overwhelming desire to just FIX IT when things are somehow out of alignment -- this happens in relationships as well as just objects in rooms she happens to be in. + |
| Esra Wyrmguard + | Esra is a kind and honest man well aware that he lives in an unkind and dishonest world. His drive is curiosity and a desire to seek out the knowledge that can make the world a better (or at least better understood) place. Part scholar, part investigator, part spy, healer, unofficial emissary, and survivor, he serves the ideals of the gods in his own unique way. He sees no paradox in that, or in the idea that sometimes honesty and good are best served by a carefully chosen deception. To Esra the need to better the world through uncovering knowledge will always be what lights the way. + |
| Essmor Siril + | Essmor is extremely personable, and takes pride in it. He loves interacting with every manner of person, from the lowest of commoners to the highest of nobles. Quick to smile, fast to make friends, and fiercely independent, he works hard to keep up relationships with all sorts. + |
| Estaban Saik + | Estaban is a man of many mysteries but it is no mystery that he has a soft spot for his family, especially his younger sisters whom he is greatly protective of. He helped foster his sister's sense of adventure by dragging them out of the house and helping to spoil their curiosity. He offers them wisdom which can come as tough love but he is always adoring of them and is just as gentle as he is firm with them. Sometimes Estaban is quiet and observant but he can also be charming and flirtatious. He puts his own happiness aside for his family, making sure that they are taken care of first. For his adored sister Arcelia he is a fierce guard, for his mother a loving son, and for his father an honorable warrior. Estaban is a fan of sailing, adventuring, hunting, drinking games, and being a brat to each and every member of his family, Saik and Malvici alike. + |
| Estelle Blackram + | An aura of soothing patience surrounds this woman. Her features are often relaxed into a placid expression, though smiling appears to come naturally to her. Rarely one to raise her voice, it is more frequent that she is listening quietly to the plights of others thanks to a sincere interest in their well-being. Despite her physical size, she seems far more likely to try and blend in with a room as best she can. + |
| Estil Navegant + | Estil is a decently good woman. She believes in what she does, in the strength of Navegant and her family. She is kind when she can be, but harsh when she needs to be, and gentle when she wants to be. The very essence of what makes a good matriarch of a family, fair, but stern. In this she takes after her father, not exactly approving of her younger brother's hesitancy of taking up the reigns of leadership or her younger sister trying to play soldier or Sword, but accepts the fact that at least if they're happy, so is she. While she displays a hefty amount of experience in the political arena, a passion of her's is history. Theology, the occult, linguistics, anything that can be learned, she wishes to learn. She cannot carry a sword, but knowledge can be, if not more, just as powerful. + |
| Ethan Merari + | Passion with purpose, this intense young man vibrates with energy when he's talking about a subject he loves. When one tries to engage on something that bores him, he impatiently cuts them off. He doesn't like to have his time wasted unless it's a client and he's on the clock. Ambitious, he's not above pushing his own agenda when it suits him. Loyalty is bought and paid for by the contract. + |
| Etienne Telmar + | No one would call Etienne anything other than ambitious - but they'd be hard-pressed to name anyone who has been harmed by that ambition, except those who dare to abuse the funds of the Church. In conversation, he is warm, attentive, and well-mannered, showing a genuine interest in those around him and an easy compassion that invites confidence and trust. However, there is steel underneath the open smile - he is dogged and ruthless in pursuit of the truth, and he has absolutely no sympathy for those who abuse their position as priests or as recipients of the Faith's funds. He has an Oathlands concept of honor and dignity (including the occasional duel under his belt), and the political savvy of one who has moved up the ranks amongst the powerful, proud, and competitive Oathlands clergy. + |
| Eudence Ghedren + | A gentle woman, soft of voice, with infinite patience for the misguided and unfortunate among the people, though very little for the foolish and the prideful. A shrewd observer, and slow to forget, she is not one to push conversation on others, often waiting for them to seek counsel with the faith, unless her counsel is so desperately needed that she cannot bear to sit and watch. Very little will shake her calm, as she finds peace within her faith, and her faith is unwavering. Always polite and formal in public, though has been known to be quick to scold the foolish, when it comes to private counsel. + |
| Eugene Caylerth + | Eugene is not one to keep himself when he has something to voice or be made known. His mouth has gotten him into trouble previous times over, but he is managing to know that there is a time and place for such things. His first inclination is to apply brute force to a problem that someone else would normally think outside the box for. + |
| Eurion Ashford + | Windblown charm and easy cheer are the rule of the day for Eurion Ashford. Pleasant and empathetic, he'd prefer to defuse personal conflict than to engage in it, and generally speaking believes that if people are being uptight about something, they should walk it off and take a few deep breaths and mellow out rather than call for champions. Life is precious and also way too short for most of what people spend it worrying about. He loves to run free beneath the summer sun and to sail fast on salt winds. He loves to dance, to ride, to hunt and drink and embrace everything that life has to offer. His core desire is to be free of constraint and commitment, but he is tethered to commitment by duty: he is a ship captain with a love of family and a love of loyalty that lends him a constant nagging feeling of /ought/, and that without him around, someone else might get it wrong. + |
| Evaine Silverhand + | It takes a lot of work to appear always calm, cool and relaxed, and Evaine is a very hard worker. She moves with languid grace, speaks with an unhurried tone verging on a drawl, and even her smiles are a slow, deliberate curl. This langorous demeanor is, however, paired with an intense drive, and focus. Never does Evaine shy away from a goal because the way to it is difficult. She is not a procrastinator, nor easily distracted. + |
| Evander Kennex + | On the surface, Evander is a calm, centered man, soft spoken and too weak to fall prey to the throes of strong emotion. A lot of his sickness is in his lungs, such that he can never catch his breath well enough to raise his voice, and in most things, he's happy to go along to get along, letting the tides of life take him to and fro as they will. Never a well man even when he's not ill, he's learned to accept the limitations of his body and to work around them as best he can. For someone who doesn't know him well, this frail exterior is all they'll ever see, and it's enough for a lot of people to dismiss him. But under the faded velveteen glove, there's an iron will and a mind like a steel trap. Evander has faced death more than once in his young life, and the experience has given him a sense of perspective far beyond his years, which is why he generally doesn't let the little things bother him. But in situations where something that he sees as important is at stake, he shows himself to be uncompromising and almost totally without fear. When it comes time to take a stand, this frail wisp of a man will dig in his heels and good luck moving him. + |
| Evangelina Masque + | Evangelina wears her heart on her sleeve; her every emotion starkly visible in her expression. When she's happy she positively radiates with infectious smiles, and when she's sad, she's heartbreaking. Fortunately, she's got a cheerfully optimistic disposition and never stays down for long, offering her good cheer to all those she surrounds herself with. + |
| Evangeline Whisper + | Her pristine appearance and precise manners are often mistaken for a touch of arrogance rather than an air of elegance. The confusion, however, does not seem to ruffle Evangeline in the least. She is more than happy to put those rumors to rest. A natural conversationalist, one may find the Whisper to be a most pleasant companion. She has a brilliant mind and is invigorated by delicate weaving of political machinations. + |
| Evaristo Arterius + | Evaristo is the kind of jerk people love or people love to hate - there is no in between. His time away from land and in the company of men who care little for conventional morality or politeness has ingrained him with an innate ability to not care how others view him unless it directly interferes with his wants or lifestyle. On the rare occasion it -does-, he can be surprisingly smart and charming, and somehow make it seem natural. Those who aren't fooled usually punch him. Or try to kill him. It's usually dependent on whether or not there are any sharp objects nearby. + |
| Evelin Culler + | Evelin is a dazzling woman, full of life and energy. Sultry, wry and eccentric, she's all charm, and eager to show off. She's a proud woman, reminiscent of a stunning bird, which comes through when she performs. She's endearing most of the time, eager to please and kind hearted, and is prone to loneliness. She can almost always be found amongst peers, giggling and gushing. Though one shouldn't be fooled by her airy appearance. She's frightfully intelligent, always aware of her surroundings even if she says otherwise. Her determination can be downright terrifying at times, and her tantrums are equally paling. Growing up extremely poor also makes her rather streetwise, and while she's right at home in the shady Lower Boroughs, she mingles seamlessly with nobility, with a deep appreciation of all things beautiful. + |
| Evelin Starborn + | Sensual, wry, cunning and playfully wicked, this woman is intelligent yet whimsical. She comes off as dreamy and a tad carefree. She is the passionate, emotional sort, and can be stubborn. Especially when she wants something; then the fires of the stars blazes deep within her heart, shining bright in her eyes. + |
| Evelynn Helianthus + | There's something to be said about the type of person who can charm an entire gathering of guests while simultaneously causing a shudder to run through their spines. It's hard for one to put a finger on it. Maybe it's the changeability of her moods or her frequent departures from rooms to "walk her swan" or the fact that no one is entirely sure where exactly she came from. + |
| Everard Telmar + | Everard decided long ago that being truly noble, honorable, and virtuous does not mean one has to be -boring-. He truly believes that the virtuous life is the way to go, kind to the less fortunate, defending the defenseless. He simply realizes that life is fantastic in so many ways, it should be lived. His laughs come easily as he encourages his men, and interacts with the commons. He enjoys new people, regardless of station, even if he is confident in the stations of people. His charm is one that makes people want to be better, rather than through a spirit of manipulation. A firm believer in justice, and the system of rule in Arx, Everard has little patience for miscreants and those that seek to do harm to others, but he is never cruel in his actions. He is decisive, quick witted, and above all, a good man. + |
| Everett Malere + | Smiles once came easily to Everett's visage, but no longer. That isn't to say he is incapable of expressing happiness when the occasion warrants it, only that such feelings are a rare, precious commodity at all, especially in the wake of his life's greatest tragedy. When a smile does happen upon his weathered face, one might find it an infectious experience. When Everett speaks, it is with gentility and calm inflection, never rising to the occasion to show anger unless purposefully pushed to it. His presence is a salve to noisome situations; he radiates pleasant repose in a world of chaos. Conversation, though infrequent, is easy and comfortable. Sometimes all he needs is to be drawn out with the right topic, then he'll exchange stories and witticisms with all the familiarity of a good, close friend. Everett has always been a hard worker, throwing himself deep into his daily tasks with little room spared for distraction. Now, he works himself to the brink of danger: forgetting to eat, struggling to sleep, failing to socialize with those around him who care for his well being. All that he does is done for the sake of his only son. That is what matters to him most. + |
| Evonleigh Whitehawk + | Evonleigh's personality is a mercurial one, depending on her mood and her intentions. A natural actress, it's hard to tell when the charm is sincere and when it is feigned. At either rate, Evonleigh's charm is very rarely the sweet and evanescent sort, but rather one with a sharper edge. She doesn't fawn but instead banters; she doesn't giggle, but smirks. She's a bit cynical but has a good heart despite her somewhat sardonic outlook on the world. From time to time, her mood grows melancholy or her temper flares, but it seems to pass quickly enough, like the a cloud passing the sun in an otherwise clear sky. She often wears a mask, metaphorically speaking, but when she lets herself feel, it is intense, no matter the emotion. Some days she's better at masking it than others. + |
| Ewen Masque + | Ewen is serious, polite, methodical, and slow to act. He is a very good listener and tends to ask numerous questions rather than speak about himself, but he never hides his opinions or intentions when asked. Thus, while he can be subtle, he is rarely manipulative outside of the courtroom. He is unwilling to leap to judgment about anyone or anything, which sometimes may seem to betray a lack of moral clarity. But he is fundamentally trustworthy, in part because unlike most of his fellows, he has little ambition except to better understand himself and his purpose in living. He is most interested in people who seem very passionate about their goals or ideals and, when it would not be rude, he likes to subject them to rigorous questioning. He has no desire to toy with people or puncture their dreams. Instead, he sincerely hopes to find someone who inspires him to become more like that -- possessed of unshakable faith in the meaningfulness of striving -- without giving up his rigorous questioning. Whatever else, Ewen is not a nihilist and has never truly doubted that life matters. He accepts that it does; he simply wants to know why. + |
| Ezekiel + | In a simple pass, Ezekiel is a genial fellow. He is rather phlegmatic, offering little more than a smile, without much of a temper. It is rare that he is anything more than convivial. Footloose and fancy free, he is more than pleased to tell a story, or pass off a tale. Of course, he's lusty and a bit of a drunkard, but he rarely lets such things overwhelm his common sense. + |

| Ezmeralda Leporidae + | Precocious trickster with a wicked sense of humor. Her agreeableness is unnerving. No one can be this easy to get along with. Surely one should have opinions. Right? Probably, but this little lady just doesn't have time to argue with people over the little things. Everyone should be free to express themselves how they want and be respected while doing so. That is the beauty of life and when one spends enough time in the presence of this woman it is far too easy to get lost in love -- with themselves. After all she encourages people to embrace who they are and not run from the awful truths inside, wouldn't the world be a better place if people didn't try and hide from the mirror but faced it dead on? + |
| Ezra Riven + | Social but nowhere near a butterfly, Ezra prefers to maintain support position. While he finds himself lacking in formal structured settings, he thrives in small groups and in the peace of nature. Maybe it's because of his restless, wandering feet. Or maybe it's simply because there's a certain degree of irresponsibility that's inherent in him, an aversion to taking on any real role requiring strong leadership. It's not to say he can't make decisions so much that he wants a general direction. Whatever is just over that hill may have the answer + |
F | |
| Faelan Navegant + | There is a quiet intensity to him, like a watching predator deciding if those he's looking at are food or not. At times that quiet intensity boils over into bursts of raging violence, and that change can often come on sudden and unexpectedly, bubbling just beneath the surface at all times, not worn openly on the sleeve. His normal demeanor is one of focus, methodical thought and action. + |
| Fairen Leary + | Fairen has a powerful weight of intelligence behind a dry reserve that occasionally goes past crisp into sharp and spiky. Though basically caring and decent and warm, when his patience snaps he wields snark and sarcasm like bitter daggers. He has an intuitive knack for people, which also means his social intelligence is good at helping him find weaknesses. Study and knowledge are his primary pursuits and the goal and love of his whole life, which in a universe that contains massive quantities of information lost to time and memory primes him for a life occasionally colored by staggering disappointments. He can be shy socially and also has a tendency to dither and to use a few too many words to say what could otherwise be simple. + |
| Falak A'Sib + | Inscrutable from behind the mask mask, the Eye of the Prophet coldly speaks in often religious allegory and metaphors, with unclear meanings. It is difficult to discern much of his (?) personality, save that the Eye is a fanatic. Despite a tone full of religious fervor, it is very hard to say what the Eye truly wants. + |
| Farrah Whitehawk + | Above all of her many talents, Farrah is endowed with the tremendous capacity to grasp things quickly along with the ability to respond to them imaginatively. And the beauty of it all is, she seems to do it so effortlessly, making it look so simple when actually it is not. Easily bored, she likes to keep active and busy, but sometimes she tends to lose herself so much in this hustle bustle that she loses sight of her main goal. She still has difficulty slowing down and it can exhaust her energy completely. Her newfound responsibilities as Baroness Consort of Hawkhold has done little to circumvent this tendency, though her new family helps ease her troubles in ways her blood family didn't. An odd thing, truly. She has an unfaltering concept of art and harmony. Likely due to her upbringing, money isn't usually important to her, except to provide her with the beautiful things and luxurious surroundings she desires. Farrah wants to leave the world more beautiful than it was when she arrived. + |
| Faruq Disowned + | Faruq is a specimen of natural ferocity controlled by a lifetime of discipline. Often times this discipline manifests itself in stoicism, but like many soldiers he can be jovial among his peers and in his cups. Moreover, a life lived on the edge of a blade has made Faruq cautious, but also playful. When among trusted companions, he can be something of a prankster, with jokes delivered with such a dry humor that often times its a debate to determine if he was actually serious when he said that. + |

| Fatima Thrax + | Fatima takes the world in stride, for she know it will be hers one day. She hasn?t decided what that means yet, but it gives her the confidence to twist and influence those around her, to whatever end she decides that day. It?s not quite out of cruelty, but she often has trouble understanding the motivations around her, since hers tend to be so fluid. She enjoys people however, and sees the world as her very own gameboard. She can be compassionate, kind, and generous, when her motivations dictate, and she does so sincerely then. She is unafraid to use her feminine wiles, but, perhaps, does so with much more discretion than someone from another House may be. Being Thraxian, however, likely makes her better at that sort of game, since it is far more difficult to be successful and not be made to disappear. + |
| Fawkes Laurent + | A gregarious nature hides something a little darker, a recklessness that could potentially cause worry in some of the more conservative of his brethren. He is personable enough in situations where it's both expected and demanded of him to be, yet outside of such he's more reserved and slow to show his true feelings. Dedicated to family and fealty, he takes his Oaths quite seriously. Some might argue that because he takes them so seriously, that they provide him an excuse to take risks that many would feel were too unnecessary. + |
| Fawkuhl Valardin + | On the surface, he's all warm and beatific smiles that bring a radiance to his countenance. Fawkuhl projects the serenity and grace expected of the Dominus, but one only has to see him in private to see the iron will of a man who may truly believe he is the closest living being to the gods. An imposing presence by sheer force of personality, he projects the domineering nature that believes he safeguards the souls of all in Arvum. + |
| Faye Ruger + | Serious, determined, relentless. Scary. All are descriptors one might hear about Faye, asking her friends and coworkers. It's true, her upbringing at the hands of the man who was Master of Questions of the investigation instilled in her values somewhat...different from most girls. She is stoic and composed, an accomplished actress in many ways. While she doesn't take anyone at face value, she DOES believe in the inherent good of people, and has a fierce, compassionate heart. Faye is a woman who takes full responsibility for her actions and their effects - she says she can't bemoan her life when she made the choice to put on the mantle. To take up the bow. Any guilt she feels is a burden she willingly carries, so that the innocent never have to. With her friends, she is known to show a sense of humor dry and acidic. She sugarcoats nothing, and is just as blunt and demanding with them as she is with herself, but there's nothing she wouldn't do to protect them. + |
| Fecundo Rubino-Zaffria + | Fecundo is a jovial sort, an easy-going swordsman who wants to see the world. He wants be a well-educated swordsman, especially wanting to learn languages, so that he can interact with the people of the world, and he's witty with a bit of a scholarly bent. He's easily excited about new and interesting things, and though he's not terribly focused, he is fairly ambitious and ready to succeed. Good things will come to him in time, an attitude which may be a result of how much his doting mother spoiled him. He's suave and charming, and if he loses his temper, he's quick to find it again. + |

| Felicia Harrow + | Frequently Felicia is larger-than-life in most regards. Big gestures, big words, and big actions. Where most people would seek to quietly open a door to sneak in on an enemy, Felicia is the sort to boot down the door with a shout, before charging into the teeth of her enemies. It isn't out of some foolish ideal to prove herself, but simple confidence in oneself. She understands however that while she conducts herself as a knight of the King's Own, she must adhere to and acknowledge the professionalism demanded of representing the Sovereign's loyal protectors. As a result she can often be found to be as professional as she can be given her limited instruction as a Lower Borough-born commoner elevated to knighthood and granted the extreme honor of serving within the King's Own. When she's off-duty however she knows how to cut loose, enjoy a strong drink, and never turns down a friendly brawl. When she chooses a path, she walks it with strength and confidence in herself. + |
| Felix Meadson + | Felix is? a little bit strange. First, he's not your typical scowling, brooding Thrax man. He's mostly a jovial, almost boyish man, who loves stories. He can't get enough of stories. Simple stories, grand stories, love stories, stories of gore and grit. Any little story is a fascination to him. He gets along with people of all stripes, which, admittedly, is good for business. He likes to make friends, seeing people as a story waiting to happen rather than common or noble. He's absolutely respectful, and takes great pains to never bring shame upon his Thrax patrons, and he does occasionally think women are too pretty to get out there and fight themselves. Every weapon he sells comes with a monetary price, and one that requires people to come tell them the stories they make with it, no matter how big or small. He absolutely refuses to be taken advantage of, however, and gets? very, very angry when he is cheated. He also becomes extremely violent when someone bullies or is cruel to someone less fortunate, especially when there's no reason other than pettiness. + |
| Fenia Unknown + | Frequently curious and watchful, Fenia is always up for seeing or doing something interesting, or assisting the work and plans of others, especially if fascinating secrets are involved. Not particularly concerned with the letter of the law, but prefers to sit out of things that might cause heavy consequences, unless inaction has its own. Hates the harming of innocents, and will remember those who do so. She's often amused or mercurial, and prefers to be open with people, but can keep a secret if its needed. Not shy about her body. + |
| Fergus Redrain + | On the surface, Fergus is an unhappy man, with a grim sense of humor and a black scowl. And further deep that's still true, but he's far from a simple, unthinking brute. He's actually quite smart, and it makes his humor worse. He knows how brutal the world is around him, and there's few things that are solvable through peaceful means however much he wishes that was the case. Joy is a thing to be taken away, but some part of him seeks it out, nonetheless. He tries to keep his distance from people, because if he doesn't, they get hurt, one way or another. That doesn't keep him from finding friends though. Some are well meaning, others seek to use his skill and ferocity. In the end, none of it matters, even if part of him wants it to, desperately, in the vain hope to become a better man. + |
| Ferrando Artiglio + | Affable, courteous, with a quick wit and jovial sense of humor, many are surprised that Ferrando seems to make as many enemies as he does. He has a strong sense of fairness and justice, reacting quickly and decisively to anything that calls for action... even if sometimes he finds later he might have been better off waiting and thinking things through. He is acutely aware how his physical strength and imposing stature can be intimidating, and would much rather use that to defuse situations than to resort to violence. His positive hatred for bullies sometimes gets the better of him, however, and his anger can catch his friends off guard who know Ferrando to be generous and warm hearted to a fault. + |
| Ferris Ulbran + | While Ferris has learned to be gruff and professional when out and about and when working, a man who doesn't suffer fools gladly and yet is happy to work with the customer to determine what they want, when it comes down to it he's perhaps not quite as gruff as he appears. It's no accident that the wall of the forge is part of the wall of the shop, and the alleyway on the other side has a lean-to up against the wall that hasn't been cleared away. Those who try to take advantage, however, will soon find out that Ferris is still an Ulbran and not inclined to be taken advantage of. + |
| Fiachra Greenmarch + | While often reserved in unfamiliar situations, Fiachra generally becomes more verbose once he's found his social footing. He always seems to be paying attention to his surroundings, regardless of the situation, and is noticeably more at ease when outdoors. When he's relaxed, it's rather easy to bring a smile to his face and general cheer to his demeanor. + |
| Fiachra Valardin + | While there's usually a slightly feline edge to the man, Fiachra is someone who comes across as being entirely comfortable within his own skin and his place in the world. Generally at ease, his temper seems to be slow to kindle, and his sense of humour runs to a decided sharpness of wit. He notably prefers to be outdoors when possible, regardless of the weather. + |
| Fianna Crovane + | While capable of great emotion, she tend to be tempered by a lasting patience that is difficult to pierce. Still, there are times when the hoyden escapes and runss amok; teasing, joking, and pranking friends and family alike. All in good fun, of course. Her patience carries over from her animals to her dealings with people and though she may stumble in her manners from time to time, she means well. + |
| Fianna Volkov + | While capable of great emotion, she tend to be tempered by a lasting patience that is difficult to pierce. Still, there are times when the hoyden escapes and runss amok; teasing, joking, and pranking friends and family alike. All in good fun, of course. Her patience carries over from her animals to her dealings with people and though she may stumble in her manners from time to time, she means well. + |
| Fidel Charon + | Colorful and charismatic, Fidel possesses a flitty friendliness capable of winning him many supporters. Unfortunately, these positive attributes are not matched by any measure of wisdom or competence. In fact, they most frequently reveal themselves right when he's about to do something incredibly foolish! Error-prone with only a fine-tuned facade in place of true self-confidence, Fidel struggles to reconcile with a delicate personal nature which, upon coming up against a challenge that scares him or that can't be easily overcome, reduces him to bitter (fantastic, nonsensical) diatribes and childlike fits of frustration. + |
| Filshiar Shieldborne + | Introverted, intelligent, and reserved in character, Filshiar's is a quiet warmth that rarely entirely fades. When it is gone, all that is left is the cold breath of his fury, and there is little that can withstand this. Deeply loyal to persons over principles, he feels for friends and comrades with overpowering passion, an amiable and unstinting devotion that makes all else pale before it. Easygoing and quiet typically, he is more likely to smile than laugh, and rarely boisterous, but enjoys the bonhomie of others around him, soaking up delight like a kind of human positivity sponge. Compassionate and dedicated, his gentleness and kindness seem his most common traits -- but his sturdy will and raw ferocity are astounding when he provoked. + |
| Filusae Tyde + | Vain to a fault, Filusae is proud of herself in all things. Though she may struggle, she is persistent to the point of obsession; Do not give up, try better. This will only account to things or situations she has decided are interesting enough to hold her attention which - once lost, is very difficult to regain. Though she may seem stubborn and often times easy-going, She has both a venomous temper and deep-set fears alike. Foremost of this nature she keeps is a keen sense of mischief and rhyme. Absolutely terrified of large bodies of water, Filusae is hardly able to get near the sea or even a pond without freezing still as the cold deep itself. Befriend Filusae at your own risk, as there have been over the years many injuries through her whims and games though none inflicted directly of her design. + |
| Fiora Laurent + | There seems to be a permanent chip on Fiora's shoulder, and her view on the world is generally one of skepticism and cynicism. Always weary of others true motivations, she has a distrust for people that often comes across in social settings. Though she is rarely truly at ease, when she is she can be something resembling pleasant at the very least. Though her walls are high, she is the type who bears a deep loyalty to those who manage to get past them. Her skepticism does not generally seem to apply to animals or children. Often treating them far better than she would people, and displaying a kind and adoring demeanor that could not be found in her day to day socializing with peers. Fiora is passionate about her goals. Her father was killed when she was young which has seeded an ambition in her to ensure things like this would not happen again. Justice would be had. Though there are many things that Fiora is uncomfortable with, like people, she is intelligent enough to recognize what is needed and required. Fiora adapts. While court politics or frivoulous socializing may be something she does not have a taste for she knows to succeed you need allies. And allies would prefer you not to be glaring at them constantly all the time. She's working on it. + |

| Flavien Laurent + | Flavien has been known to come off cold. He has a very hard look at the practicalities of any situation before determining if he truly wants to engage. His oaths to those above he takes deadly seriously like a great many knights, and his associations often are reminded of their place as second to them. Still, when he can work in some dark humor or not drive someone off, they seem to benefit more from his active protections as well. + |
| Flora Sanna + | Animated hope and warm generosity are, really, Flora's defining traits. Thoughtful and kind, she is a determined optimist, a determined idealist, and a determined... determined person. She can be hot-tempered and tempestuous and struggles to control those impulses, and other reckless, quick, bright-hearted impulses. It is very possible for her to make very foolish, reckless decisions, particularly if she feels her principles threatened or a friend's needs are on the line. Drawn to service, she balances humility and confidence on a tightrope spun of insecurity. + |
| Flynt Myrt + | Guarded and careful among strangers, yet cheerful and enthusiastic among his shipmates. There is a glint in his eye when faraway lands are mentioned. He enjoys peace and quiet, but his natural curiosity makes him seek out for secrets and gossip when able. While not easy to anger, he has a certain sense of independence and pride gained while journeying at sea. + |
| Forato Fidante + | His time spent amongst the savages has given the Fidante an edge. Of wisdom and insight, of wariness and wit, of readiness and willingness. Curiosity is his greatest spark and his greatest flaw... it may be easy to lure him into uncertain situations merely by the mystery of them. He has yet to finally find his way in life and so he seeks out new information, experts and interesting people at every opportunity. One thing is for certain, though perhaps fated, the man does not think the world or anyone in it owes him a thing. His freedom, his family, his nobility have all come with immense and unparalleled gratitude. + |
| Ford Kennex + | Well-learned and sociable, Ford can slide easily between the raucous drinking halls of Northern holds to genteel and stuffy soirees of Oathland gatherings and remain entirely comfortable. He wears humor and charm on his sleeve, yet he keeps an undercurrent of vicious threat just beneath the cuff. Though despite this, it's clear that even in his stature and mannerisms, he is not your typical Thrax vassal. Ford Kennex is exactly the man you want to be around, be it drinking, talking, dancing, or fighting. + |
| Fortescue Antoni + | If there was a single word to describe Fortescue, it would be haughty. For several years he kept people at a distance by being generally aloof, nonchalant, detached, thinking that was how he needed to be to be successful. He was raised to follow the rules and be deferent to nobility, both of which he mostly still does. However, recently he's been allowing himself to express some humor, and even warmth. Still, he's not likely to hold a baby or an animal unless it is literally his job to do so (sometimes it is literally his job to do so). He enjoys digging up information, people watching, and feeling appreciated - he is rather susceptible to flattery. + |
| Fortunato Grayhope + | Fortunato is fascinated by small things, your butterflies, your scuff in the dust, the birds and the soft trickle of water from the roofs. Fortunato is fascinated by large things, your cataclysm, your strange, dangerous occurrence, his teeth bared with excitement as he clings to the periphery of disaster. While an artist by trade and passion, he has more of a reputation for how little he seems to produce. He's more interested in art as a venue for exploration, exploration that extends to philosophical, mystical obsessions and poetic pretense in his speech. His dreamy curiosity carries a troubled undercurrent, though, which can surface as brittle temper or turbulent intensity. Or deep melancholy. He seems a man divided between wonder and dissatisfaction. + |

He seems a man divided between wonder and dissatisfaction. + |
| Franco Gilden + | The illusion of an endless ocean calms some people, but Franco was more prone to see the turbulance beneath the waves and how they shifted when storms were brewing. He's experienced too much to overly mince words, preferring to defuse bleak circumstances with a spark of humor and more outlandish things. It makes it unexpected when his truly blunt manner of speaking can carry a sharper edge to them. Like many of those from the Lycene, he's had his share of hedonistic fancies, but they're kept controlled, a bit of restraint amidst a main otherwise unreprentant and cold. Roiling emotions and passions kept subdued beneath an easygoing demeanor. + |
| Fray Tirkah + | Fray has a cold and blunt way of speaking in a neutral setting, that gives off an uncaring or uninterested aura. Their main motivation in life is protecting the weak and punishing the corrupt, but it's a very selfish and opinionated, who might decide not to act even if a situation arises. They also have a habit of staring at people. + |
| Frederik Steelhart + | Frederik's wisdom, stoicism and intellect are his best traits arguably, but his House's history of domestic betrayal, illness and hardship has given him the misfortune of humorless, unironic cynicism. While honor and loyalty is held in extremely high esteem, Frederik doesn't believe in taking chances, second chances, or luck altogether, and regards the world around him with a pessimistic practicality. + |
| Fredrik Redtyde + | Serious and driven, Fredrik is not a man to leap into any situation without first examining any angle and plotting his course carefully. This does not mean he is not personable, of course! He has not survived as a roaming merchant by being frigid or obtuse, and has a warm smile and ready handshake to reflect that. But a look into his eyes shows the trauma of many years of loss, and he often defaults to serious examination and thought, rather than whimsy or dreaming. + |
| Freja Acheron + | At first meeting, Freja more often than not comes across as an ice queen that substitutes gregarious graces with astute, matter-of-fact observations and brisk mannerisms. It is not that she is cold, but rather that she has a low tolerance for what she views as superfluous nonsense. Why say with twenty words what could be done with two? She possesses sharp senses and an even sharper mind, which leaves her little patience for excessive pomp and circumstance. While she can be somber and serious, she has her impish moments peppered with witty remarks and an easy, winsome smile. Past the wintery veneer is a heart that loves fiercely once opened. She will fight ardently for her loved ones and her values to the point that some call her ferocious, others... exhausting. + |

| Furio Rossetti + | A man of very few words but brave and quick to act. His actions always a burst of energy. As an introvert, he has to force himself into social situations but basic schooling in etiquette, allows him to get through most of these encounters. He prefers to be outside creating and cultivating a garden of roses; his green thumb said to be golden. + |
G | |
| Gabriel Bisland + | Like many of the older generation, Gabriel tends to be a different person in public than in private, a habit he is staunchly unwilling to break. Commanding of presence and demeanor, he is a man of few words, and extremely decisive action, with a reputation as a gifted tactician and battlefield commander. However he disdains the intricacies of courtly politics, saying exactly what he thinks, and only when necessary. He has little patience for the meddlings of the youthful politics and makes it very clear he does not appreciate people involving him in such. Because of his history, and place previously at Alaric III's side, he often finds himself involved anyway. In private, with his friends, and beloved wife, he can sometimes relax, however, laughing with a rich laugh that resonates in the soul. He feels emotions intensely, but can control them impeccably, and keeps to the old traditions of etiquette whenever possible. + |
| Gabriella Pravus + | The Commander of the Swords of the Evening must protect her countrymen, and she must be loyal to House Pravus. Those are the basic lessons from Tiberio, but when has Gabriella ever settle for mediocre? The golden-maned warrior loves Setarco, and Setarco loves her back. When she rides through the city, Gabriella reins her horse in to fight a robber just so the people can feel secure. She kisses babies in festivals and dances with the men under her in celebrations. Inheriting Tiberio's charm, Gabriella celebrates and is celebrated by her folk. At least, that is how she is seen. In private, the behavior of a true paragon sometimes slips into something... more sinister. Her brand of humor, the one that actually makes her laugh, and not simply give a false guffaw for, is certainly dark. There is just something funny about a de-limbed enemy trying to crawl away in the battlefield. The only time Gabriella lets herself fully go is in the battlefield, where she is in her element, cutting down her enemies with joyous glee. A creature of passions, she is often at her most raw when smeared in blood. + |
| Gael + | In present day, Gael is said to be often perceived as grim and lorn, with unexpected moments of levity that teeter towards sardonicism and a cynical purview to anything within the boundaries of irony or something by its likeness. Very little rouses his sense of humor, but he's not without a shadow of it, only that it is kept behind cracked lips and aloof looks. It is easy to mistake these uninvolved and unassuming ways as if facets to a more shallow and fragmented character, but it is not the case. This has often seen him written off as a broken man, a possible bandit, a thief, a criminal, the greatest evil. Below the mystery is instead just a soul of waning enthusiasm and low spirits, with a negative grip on the reality of the world... and yet, where he walks, the atmosphere feels the more oppressive. As if accompanying him was some unseen burden at constant odds with any attempt at lasting merriment in him. None of his noble roots yet remain, all manners and etiquette have long since faded in the briny deep. His accent's yet Thraxian, his vocalization still harsh and caustic with a rugged depth, but when he speaks, it is evocative in gesticulation to the listless man left within him. + |

| Gage Grimshaw + | Little matters to Gage other than gaining coin and spending it on the superfluous things that catch his fancy. As a result, he can come off as an incredibly shallow person with little to drive him other than the thought of accruing a vast amount of wealth. While this seems to dominate his goals, he is a generally laid-back man on his off-time and very much an individual enamored with the fine life of drinking and partying. It is rare to ever find him truly angry. It is as if he has an incredible tolerance for the obstacles life throws. + |
| Gailin Fireviper + | Gailin is Snarky, cocky, arrogant, brash and abrasive. But he is also caring kind and loving these he keeps down deep. + |
| Gailin Stonewood + | Gailin is Snarky, cocky, arrogant, brash and abrasive. But he is also caring kind and loving these he keeps down deep. + |
| Gaius Whitehawk + | From a young age, Gaius proved to possess a great aptitude for business. High thinking, immaculate planning and grand ambitions define his adult life now; clearly his upbringing as a Mercier was invaluable, but while he may be a visionary he is certainly not a dreamer like most of them. He works with simple ideas and transforms them into something big with his ingenuity, while others fail to see any merit in them -- or he invests in an idea which shows merit and promise. He has other notable talents, too: he is an expert researcher with talent for turning up facts (admittedly usually linked to his business interests). He is a skilled violinist and enjoys fashion. He is an introvert by nature, but it is difficult to tell, and he likes to have a diverse circle of friends because it gives him the chance to discover fresh points of view and life-choices. + |
| Galatea Pravus + | Often excessively polite at first meeting, Galatea's sense of humor is typically dry, and a bit strange. A carefully-molded exterior hides enthusiasm and passion for those things with capture her interest. Always amicable, she often stops just short of being truly warm and open. A certain sense of mystery is something she willfully cultivates. Honor and dignity and justice are all very important to her, and she can have a bit of difficulty 'letting things go,' as it were. Still, she patience in excess. + |
| Galavan Vizier + | Galavan is cynical, stubborn, self righteous and dismissive. While he acknowledges and respects the authority of the divine, his respect for his fellow man is tepid at best. However he is a hypocrite, though he would be very critical of others, he will show traits of spite, greed, rage and pride fairly often. He is also not above deciept and manipulation to further his own interests which he will rationalise as the ends justifying the means. + |
| Galen Thrax + | Galen is a strong man with a strong personality. He's headstrong when he knows he's in the right, and he is an independent thinker. He'll listen to other people but he's adamant about making his own decisions. He is brave and bold and forthright, but where on others this might come across as bossy and rude, Galen is charming and friendly. He is a civilized man, a man of refined tastes - and a dashing moustache - who is very concerned with doing things the proper way. Like reasonable people. He is still a Prince of Thrax, believing that men should be raised to be strong and warlike, but allowing women to learn to fight and carry arms and lead forces and sail isn't upsetting to him either. In his mind, a man is a man if he can do these things, and whether a woman can or not is irrelevant to the point at hand. + |
| Gareth Grayson + | Gareth is a man who has little time or energy for beating around a bush. Well, unless a person is tied to that bush and under suspicion of consorting with demons. He is relentless in the pursuit of truth, and to wipe the scourge of darkness from the face of Arvum. For all his fierce and sometimes violent acts in the name of the Inquisition, he gets no joy out of it. It is a duty, a necessity, and not one to revel in. He sees people on the street and catalogues them in their minds, how he would extract information, and what their sins may be. Most people stay away, simply because his scarred body is intimidating. He uses their fear when he must, and hardens his heart to keep him strong. Perhaps saddest of all, he does feel joy, he can still laugh, but it takes a rare person to bring that out of the places he's buried it. + |
| Garnet Navegant + | Garnet is the life of the party, and where there is no party established, he seeks to create one. He is outgoing and friendly, quick to make an accquaintance. He moves through social circles and strata with the ease of a dancer moving through his routine, and finds few people he'll not share a drink and a story with. + |
| Garret Navegant + | Garret is the life of the party, and where there is no party established, he seeks to create one. He is outgoing and friendly, quick to make an accquaintance. He moves through social circles and strata with the ease of a dancer moving through his routine, and finds few people he'll not share a drink and a story with. + |
| Garza Crown + | What transforms Garza from vaguely menacing nobody into a force all his own is his personality. Confident in himself and his surroundings, and shockingly at ease with his lot in life and the way of the world, Garza possesses a raw wisdom few can find fault with. This either makes Garza atrociously abrasive or appallingly endearing, and his concern as to which end of the spectrum any one person falls only extends insofar as it physically matters to him. Which, as years as a sellsword have shown him, tends to be very little. + |
| Gaspar Tessere + | Gaspar Velenosa is cheerful, curious and carefree. There's no place that he isn't comfortable either in court or out of it. Lust. That encompasses nearly all of Gaspar's drive. Lust for love, excitement, knowledge, intrigue. There is never enough for him, never enough hours in the day to do all that has to be done for someone who will only be satisfied when the world itself is tied around his finger. Gaspar is the quintessential jack-of-all-trades. Seemingly touched by the gods themselves, all that keeps him from turning a passion into a gift...is the newest passion born of tomorrow. How can the voice be mastered with the temptation of a lady on the mind? What chance does diplomacy have with the call to finish that painting? + |
| Gaspar Velenosa + | Gaspar Velenosa is cheerful, curious and carefree. There's no place that he isn't comfortable either in court or out of it. Lust. That encompasses nearly all of Gaspar's drive. Lust for love, excitement, knowledge, intrigue. There is never enough for him, never enough hours in the day to do all that has to be done for someone who will only be satisfied when the world itself is tied around his finger.

How can the voice be mastered with the temptation of a lady on the mind? What chance does diplomacy have with the call to finish that painting? + |
| Gaspard Blackram + | Gaspard is VERY comfortable out on the field, whether he's leading the charge or just participating in the line. Its when you throw him on the social battlefield that he doesn't do so well, and he's not entirely convinced he really should be here and not back out in the field. While he's not CRANKY, his default might be...brooding and quiet. + |
| Gaston Blackram + | Gaston is a man terrified of his own temper. Through most of his life, he lived in self-enforced exile in the hopes that isolation would help grant him control and serenity, and never was able to forget that he could present a terrible danger to those he cared about just by being near them. He found, however, that he truly enjoys the company of others and self-imposed isolation might have been slowly driving him mad, so it was time to try a different tack. He is now determined to be a good noble, someone that can try to overcome his flaws and be a better man, and draw other people together. A man willing to turn the other cheek if it wins compromise and solidarity, he's a natural peacemaker- it wouldn't be urbane and cosmopolitan to say he views it as keeping the peace in a wolfpack, but it's how he thinks. + |
| Gavin Reed + | Gavin is fairly gregarious, and tends to go with the flow. He does, however, have a mean protective streak when it comes to his little sister. + |
| Gavin Surname TBD + | Gavin is fairly gregarious, and tends to go with the flow. He does, however, have a mean protective streak when it comes to his little sister. + |
| Gawain Blanchard + | Gawain expects the most from life. Good-humored and ingenuous, there's a degree to which is vanity and arrogance are charming just because they are so innocent. It's not that he puts himself forward; he expects to already be forward, and is puppyishly hurt on those occasions when he is not. His natural charisma is a not insignificant force, and he has the raw potential to be a good leader someday maybe ... if he can overcome a few of those hardships, like trying to be all things to all men and women, showboating until he falls off the boat, and being fundamentally incapable of refusing a dare ("--what do you mean you don't think I can drink five shots and still hit the target?"). + |
| Gehenna Redreef + | Gehenna knows quite well that she has a way with words, and is proud of her talent. She's a true believer in the traditionalist values of the Mourning Isles. She's also a skillful diplomat, so she knows better than to go around starting screaming contests or shoving matches. Her unhappiness with the progressive trends of recent years tends to find release in acid-tongued gallows humor. That, and sometimes turning 'a drink with lunch' into 'multiple drinks with lunch.' + |
| Gelassen Whisper + | Calm, patient, and even-keeled, one might even call Gelassen 'serene'. He has an unshakable, unruffleable composure, and he gives his attentive interest and best advice to every person he interacts with. To spend time with Gelassen is to feel special, to feel empowered -- to feel that change is within one's grasp, and healing is assured with time. + |
| Gemma Glass + | Sparkling with street-smarts and radiating moxie, she tackles each day like it's her last because she believes she has nothing to lose. Her loyalty is hard-won but dazzlingly fierce once earned, and she goes out of her way to protect the less fortunate in the way she wishes someone had looked out for her. Living such an independent youth has left her with a diamond-sharp edge that she wields defensively when she feels threatened or unduly pressured. Underneath the layers of brassy bravado is a woman who genuinely wants to do the right thing, but can't quite shake her envy of those with more luxurious lives. Ultimately, her approach to life is a simple one: Do good recklessly. + |
| Genevieve Waldenwyn + | If there's one thing that can be said about Genevieve's personality, it's that she's a closed book. Quiet and aloof by nature, she prefers not to reveal her feelings unless she has a compelling reason to do so. She's not one to smile, nor to flatter others or joke around lightly, and she's not really concerned if people are put off by that. If she must choose between being liked or being true to herself, she'd almost always pick the latter unless practicality demands otherwise. + |
| Genevra Artiglio + | The Captain of the House Velenosa Guard is supposed to be rather serious about her job and Genevra does take her job very seriously. But that's about all she takes seriously. Otherwise, she is known for her wicked sense of humor and a love of pranks. It is said that the most mischievous of the palace children learned everything they know from her. In general, Genevra prefers to be easy-going and good-humored, unless it is time to bring the blades out and do her job. She seems to view her charges in the Velenosa family with a degree of protective possessiveness. In that case, she turns into a single-minded entity, intent on protecting what she thinks is hers, which, from all appearances, is the entirety of the Artiglio and Velenosa families. + |
| Georgine Dubois + | Quiet and often lost in her own thoughts, Eloise is constantly imagining. It might be easy to assume that the tiny woman is completely airheaded, but she's been known to be very firm when she wishes. She might be a little ditzy with a dreamlike quality to her personage, but she's solid gold and loyal to death under it all. + |
| Geraint Blackwood + | There was once fire in his blood, but time and the death of his first wife has banked those fires. There is a calmness to him now; he listens often, speaks carefully, but to think this timidity would be folly. It is the calm of the storm, and when the time has come for action or he is finally moved to anger, he does so decisively and without hesitation. There are few who see him at ease these days, or who can speak to how he acts when at such ease; the wounds of past losses, perhaps, have not yet healed. + |
| Gerald Wilkerson + | There is something sprightly and jovial about Gerald, easily given to smiles and amusements. All in all, he's something of a simple fellow, generally inclined towards mercantile matters and enjoying various vices. And, of course, a touch of a perchant for storytelling. Why, of course, he has done all these things! Yet, it's always like someone talking about the biggest fish they ever caught, with little aplomb. + |
| Geralt Crovane + | Geralt is as tough as the Everwinter, but at least he is not as bitterly cold. He's spilled enough blood and watched enough of his own men be returned to the Wheel that he does everything in his power now to love life in excess - he eats too much, drinks too much, gambles away too much of his money, and thoroughly enjoys every second of every day that he still walks among the living. He has a fierce love of the North and a passionate loyalty for the men and women who have offered to lay down their lives in service, forming strong and often unbreakable bonds with those he considers his friends and allies. But for all the things Geralt is, there are many things he isn't - and one of those things is charming. In fact. he is severely lacking in the refined polish of nobility, having spent the time that might have been saved for etiquette lessons on honing his skill with the blade. + |
| Gerard Dastrid + | Gerard epitomizes the uncommon virtue of the common man, regarding himself simply as a soldier who left his common roots to answer the call to arms. With a strong sense of duty, he's never sought after glory or fame, instead feeling as though the honors he's been given are simply a reflection of fulfilling his duty as a Telmar armsman. The man is plain-spoken, polite, and compassionate; an honest worker's demeanor with a soldier's sense of purpose. Gerard approaches his role as a teacher with a clear passion for the subject matter, presenting the difficult realities of combat with a practiced grace produced through the crucible of experience. He knows the seriousness of the dances he teaches, and is willing to be resented for being insistent as a teacher in order to ensure his pupils know the proper steps. + |
| Gerrick Bradshaw + | It is the one-eyed man who is king over the blind. All his life, Gerrick has been aware that things don't simply happen. There are no coincidences in this world. Things are linked, connected. There is a cause for every effect and yet those around him so infrequently question, instead they blindly accept what answers they are fed. Not Gerrick! He questions, he investigates, he goes seeking those mysteries to bring them into the light! On his own time, that is. While he is a dedicated observer of the unknown and cryptic, he is also dutiful about his professional life as investigator, former Tracker and sometimes guard captain for the Keaton family. He might not always have the free time for his investigations, but he's always paying attention! + |
| Gerry Taken + | Gerry is a hard man, ruthless and without scruples, who will do just about anything if it's made worth his while. When his temper takes him there's a darkness in it, an embittered hate against the world and his lot in it. He has a shrewd mind, cunning, and for a common trader he is uncommonly educated. When the going is good, though, he is generosity itself, showering everybody around him with the spoils of his good luck. He will make a fortune, spend a fortune, the work his ass off to make another just so he can squander it away again. + |
| Gertrude Grayhope + | While Gertie is bursting with a surprising amount of confidence for one so puny-looking, her social skills are somewhat lacking from years of cramming her nose up in dusty books. She's quite hotheaded, easy to fluster, and can't stand not being taken seriously. It's very obvious she cares a lot about what people think about her, and that she's very passionate about one day becoming a respected figure through her work. + |
| Gesa Whisper + | Gesa is always the life of the party. She enjoys the pleasant aspects of living. Good drink, good company, and good times are her priorities. That isn't to say she isn't capable of hard work. She absolutely is. How else could she afford to gamble and drink near constantly in her spare time? Her labor is expended only for the pursuit of revelry. She is impulsive, and she rarely stays still or in one place for very long. She likes having a good time, and if you're a downer she will try to turn your frown upside down with partying. She is generous when it comes to having a good time. After all, if it works to keep her sadness at bay surely it should work for you? + |
| Gesa none + | Gesa is always the life of the party. She enjoys the pleasant aspects of living. Good drink, good company, and good times are her priorities.

| Giada Godsworn + | More than a little bit of a spitfire, Giada's feisty, dry sense of humour guides almost everything she does. Irrepressible spirits tend her towards gallows humour and cheery if sarcastic encouragement. She's capable of being serious and frequently is as the situation demands, and she has a dogged determination towards her occupation. She's no delicate feminine flower, but a proud and spirited Lycene woman. + |
| Giada Morello + | More than a little bit of a spitfire, Giada's feisty, dry sense of humour guides almost everything she does. Irrepressible spirits tend her towards gallows humour and cheery if sarcastic encouragement. She's capable of being serious and frequently is as the situation demands, and she has a dogged determination towards her occupation. She's no delicate feminine flower, but a proud and spirited Lycene woman. + |
| Gian Fuller + | Courteous toward his betters and cautious toward the unknown, Gian is well aware of his good fortune in life and determined to avoid losing his place through any hasty mistake. A meticulous sort, he can seem to obsess over minor details. Though few can recall seeing him lose his temper, he is no stoic, keen to enjoy good drink and good company. + |
| Gianna Corvo + | Gianna has a sharp blade and a sharp tongue. Both are employed in her defense. She is not a soft-hearted girl; she knows what she wants and she will do what she needs to do to get it. Ruthless? Maybe. Gianna comes across as cool, maybe even aloof; that just means the rare displays of charm or emotion are all the more puissant. Even when she's smiling, she's just a little guarded. + |
| Gianna Delvecchio + | Gianna has a sharp blade and a sharp tongue. Both are employed in her defense. She is not a soft-hearted girl; she knows what she wants and she will do what she needs to do to get it. Ruthless? Maybe. Gianna comes across as cool, maybe even aloof; that just means the rare displays of charm or emotion are all the more puissant. Even when she's smiling, she's just a little guarded. + |

Gianna comes across as cool, maybe even aloof; that just means the rare displays of charm or emotion are all the more puissant. Even when she's smiling, she's just a little guarded. + |
| Gibson Culler + | Affable and always armed with an infectious sense of humor, Gibson has a brightly optimistic view of the world for someone that started at the very bottom and seems only modestly interested in climbing up from it. Only loosely concerned with anything that could resemble a code of honor, Gibson is cheerfully willing to do whatever he needs to do, and if it can be done in a hysterical way all the better. + |
| Gideon Thrax + | Controlling, Manipulative, Honorable, Honest, Sarcastic, Dangerous, and Mysterious. + |
| Gilbert Unnknown + | Gilbert is a man of simple pleasures, he enjoys good drink, pretty women and a comfortable spot to rest at night. His wry, often sarcastic humor and pessimistic outlook which combined with the man's expertise in the art of sloth can lend to a rather negative perception of the man to those who only know him at a glance. At his core though he is dedicated and unendingly loyal to those who manage to earn it. + |
| Gildaren Laurent + | Gildaren is friendly and often talkative, but frequently taking long moments of contemplative thought. A life of travels has offered him wisdom, which he's prone to saying is a burden to bear, but an honor to offer to others. His empathy and characteristic patience are broken only for those who he deems deliberately sinister or purposely foolish. + |
| Gilroy Grayhope + | Gilroy Grayhope is engaging, friendly and convivial. Always smiling, always with a joke, so damn friendly one might miss that he has no friends. He doesn't let people getting close, cutting them off entirely if they do. But for everyone else? Gilroy's a man with an answer for everything, a story for every situation and a lie for every question. + |
| Gio Malvici + | Gio diMalvici has the refinement of an intelligent, educated man, but he also has an ascerbic, devil-may-care charm that keeps him from looking entirely aristocratic. A honed political sense lets him move with ease through many walks of life, from the Lowers where he buys the haze that he uses to control the pain in his back (and also uses because haze is fun) all the way to the most rarified halls of power. In all places, his manner is generally laconic, his banter is quick, and his sense of humor is always, always dry. But Gio's cutting wit sometimes cuts too deep, especially when it's directed at someone he genuinely doesn't like. Words can be weapons, and looks can be poison, and Gio diMalvici is an expert wielder of both. + |
| Giorgio Pontelaeus + | Giorgio is a man of practicality, ambition, passion, loyalty, and utter creativity. Where others without his ability to see the world the way he does might not see an opportunity he is already finding ways to turn it into another. There is a cool, collected air of calm around him that is practically unshakeable. When one comes from a family as distinguished as his own, it's quite easy to forget that he is not a member of the Peerage and is in fact a prodigal for his refinement and poise. Very rarely when pushed far enough one might be unlucky enough to see the man's dark temper. + |
| Giorgio Proscipi + | Giorgio is a man of practicality, ambition, passion, loyalty, and utter creativity. Where others without his ability to see the world the way he does might not see an opportunity he is already finding ways to turn it into another. There is a cool, collected air of calm around him that is practically unshakeable. When one comes from a family as distinguished as his own, it's quite easy to forget that he is not a member of the Peerage and is in fact a prodigal for his refinement and poise. Very rarely when pushed far enough one might be unlucky enough to see the man's dark temper. + |
| Gisele Aurum + | Gisele isn't shy, not exactly. She maintains an interest in other people that was seeded during her training as an acolyte of Vellichor. But she is a gentle creature; some might even call her too soft or too tender for the world. A retiring and unpresuming woman, she is most comfortable when at home, surrounded by the books she loves and illuminates. + |
| Giselle Caron + | Sweet, shy, and prone to bonding closely with a select few, Giselle will likely never be the type to frequent mass gatherings and big social events. She's keen-eyed and intelligent; doing her best to avoid the false niceties of society and focus on those who appreciate the sweet warmth of her own personality. Still, though most of her witty observations are limited to her private thoughts, she does have a temper and has been known to hold a grudge. + |
| Giuliano Pravus + | Meticulous, even fussy in his appearance, Giuliano is a man who enjoys all that life has to offer him. A jovial hedonist committed to a good time - a conviction second only to his devotion to House Pravus - it has been said the easy smile he so often wears rarely drops, even in grim situations or while doling out casual violence. Why shouldn't he be happy? Raised in the best city of the Compact, in the best family, and the intrigues just mean more things to keep Lord Giuliano occupied. + |
| Giulio Corvini + | Giulio is, at heart, the epitome of the urbane politician. He never relies on vulgarity and maintains a certain degree of composure at all times. He tends towards a wry sort of humor -- a sort of humor that descends into the sardonic with ease. Cultured. Urbane. Cool. All of these apply well to the man. + |
| Giulio Mazetti + | Giulio is, at heart, the epitome of the urbane politician. He never relies on vulgarity and maintains a certain degree of composure at all times. He tends towards a wry sort of humor -- a sort of humor that descends into the sardonic with ease. Cultured. Urbane. Cool. All of these apply well to the man. + |
| Glenn Took + | Glenn has a naive approach to the world, he is not dumb. He is reasonably well read however he likes to ignore the world around him when it suits him. He see's the fun in life, the people he'll interact with and relationships he will form. He doesn't want to impress his parents - or anybody. He has no motive, he has no goals. He doesn't even know if he wants to become a knight, he just thinks it's something he's supposed to be doing - so he tries to do it. + |
| Glenys Redwine + | From the time she learned to say the word 'no', Glenys has been a stubborn thing, determined not so much to have her own way in things as to not allow anyone else's way supersede her own. This same trait that caused her family such vexation in her youth hasn't mellowed a bit, but only deepened into well-honed willfulness. Despite, or maybe because, of this stubbornness, she's also intelligent with a whipcrack sort of wit and a sense of mischief that gets her into all sorts of nonsense. Even deeper than that lies a heart that is just as stubborn. She's not the sort that will let it stray once it has a star to fix itself upon. + |
| Glister Vindrel + | Glister is intelligent and well spoken. He is quick with a joke and smiles easily and often. He moves with a poise and grace that seem to stand in opposition to wealth of knowledge. Glister's charm and wit win him friends easily. This combined with his in depth understanding and contemplation of the world allow him to create and maintain lasting friendships. + |
| Gloriel Bisland + | This former prisoner of her own overpowering emotions is virtually unrecognizable to close family and friends from the person she once was. She's now plagued with frequent, distant gazes out over the horizon and shallow, woeful sighs. Though many of Gloriel's inclinations tend to towards morbidity nowadays, there's at least very few things that can frighten her. + |
| Godric Stewart + | Godric is dry, sardonic, and edgy. He has seen it all, man, and frankly, he's too old for this shit. An old country doctor with a slightly bad attitude but a heart of gold beneath that craggy exterior, what he hasn't seen gives him a headache; he'll take it in stride, but mysteries give him a bellyache; he's a kvetcher, a complainer, but he'll knuckle down and get it done. He badgers his patients to take care of themselves, because like many men cursed with compassion, he cares too much; he'll be rude about it because he doesn't have time to guard feelings when there's work to be done. Will the patient live, Doc? How would he know, he's not a psychic. Facts beat feelings every time. + |
| Gogil redreef + | Laid back and chill in pretty much all things. Except when it comes to money. The Arvum dictionary on the word tightwad might include a picture of Gogil. It's not that he is exactly adverse to spending money, but does one really need to spend that silver on 21316 bottles of some obscure rum from some far off land? No. It's better kept safe or doing some good, like earning more money. He's an easy conversationalist and can shift streams seemingly on a whim, but if the subject gets to difficult he tends to stutter. Even years of work it will sometimes come out, usually when presented in front of a woman he has keen interest in. Some find it endearing but more often then not it has whatever lady he is trying to woo turned off. He doesn't take it personally, how could he? He know he's not everyone's cup of tea, but that doesn't mean you should hide. He likes to hear people laugh even if it's at the expense of his own (mis)adventures. + |
| Grady Deepwood + | Grady is an easygoing man, gregarious and socially adept. He's very good at making small talk and never seems to mind it - he's the life of the party and the guy who's not afraid to look a little silly if it breaks the ice. Genial and pleasant, he sometimes surprises people by how well he reads a situation, and he prides himself on compromising and finding common ground in many situations, not just diplomatic ones. + |
| Graham Byrne + | Though Graham is a warrior foremost, he is known to be easy going, quick to make a joke and laugh with others, though he knows when to be stern and so it's these times that others pay close attention to his words. He was born to know etiquette and can speak among other nobles easily enough. + |
| Graham Stonewood + | Though Graham is a warrior foremost, he is known to be easy going, quick to make a joke and laugh with others, though he knows when to be stern and so it's these times that others pay close attention to his words. He was born to know etiquette and can speak among other nobles easily enough. + |
| Grazia Rubino + | Grazia is dry and sharp as a merlot, and could be compared to such a wine in other ways: she is elegant, powerful, and stands up to anyone. She also has expensive taste, with a deep enjoyment of luxury for its own sake as well as representative of status. Quick and powerfully intelligent, she has a sharply honed sense of justice that she is capable of tempering with a fierce pragmatism. Though she is not without warmth or affection, she tends to shield these qualities beneath a fortified reserve of strength. + |
| Grazia Rubino-Zaffria + | Grazia is dry and sharp as a merlot, and could be compared to such a wine in other ways: she is elegant, powerful, and stands up to anyone. She also has expensive taste, with a deep enjoyment of luxury for its own sake as well as representative of status. Quick and powerfully intelligent, she has a sharply honed sense of justice that she is capable of tempering with a fierce pragmatism. Though she is not without warmth or affection, she tends to shield these qualities beneath a fortified reserve of strength. + |
| Graziella Pravus + | Graziella can be pleasant company to those around her, but there is always a certain fakeness to her niceties. It is rare for someone to grab her full attention, and those people are often intense, passionate and have something to say. Life is short and there is an unsatiable craving within Graziella to live it in non-ordinary fashion, even if it might make it shorter. She will always bring a book to the Assembly of Peers and in general parties in Arx are not to her liking. At her best Graziella enjoys a little bit of chaos and bite to things, at her worst she is self-destructive in her pursuit of something that makes her feel alive. Her family is a particular subject. She loves House Pravus deeply, and their larger than life style suits her perfectly. She inserts herself in their lives like she needs to consume her relatives, learning about them as she does to anyone whom she finds interesting, but in the end Graziella is a poor servant: she often needs their succor more than she provides herself. For some reason the woman cannot help but want to fill a void, and although she can control herself, the wyrm within her cannot be held back forever. + |
| Greer Thornburn + | Work hard. Play hard. Pay your dues. Don't cause trouble. Take care of your family. These are the simple things that Greer Thornburn believes in and the way in which he has lived his life. A man of the working class who has spent his life in the forge with hammer in hand, he is rough around the edges but has a soft spot for his family. Quick to offer his opinion, feeling he's owed that due to his age, he's a straightforward man with plenty to say. Especially now that he's retired. + |
| Gregor Steelhart + | That static you feel when a storm is about to brew is not an uncommon feeling others get around Gregor. At rest, he holds a calm sobriety that can cause unease to those around him. When angry, Gregor bellows, but chooses his words carefully, equal parts discipline and rage. Gregor is a knight first and foremost, however, duty, honor, and loyalty is not only what he lives by, but what he expects from everyone in the Peerage. + |
| Gregori Volkov + | Shy but not too badly, this young lord typically prefers spending his time within his books. He fumbles a little bit when dealing with things he isn't use to but he can recover quickly enough. Having quite the eager mind, he is more open when discussing his research and his passion for languages. And the more he opens up, the more charming he is. + |
| Gregory Grayfallow + | Gregory is a friendly and welcoming person, happy to hear your troubles and provide some comfort. Which is to say that he carefully pays attention to your body language, choses his words with care and guides you down a conversational path that ends up here he wants it to. This isn't to say that he is a manipulative bastard, but it does help him with talking people around to see things from other points of views, getting everyone on the same page, and generally making progress. He genuinely does care about people and want to aim for their betterment, it is just that sometimes, he thinks he knows better than them what they need. + |
| Gretchen Moore + | A personable woman, Gretchen's got a keen eye, a quick tongue and quicker mind. She is extremely adept at reading others and using that skill to her benefit in determining how best to sell her wares to them. She's outgoing, and entertaining on and off the job, she genuinely seems to enjoy meeting others and learning about them? even when there is nothing to gain from it (but it's so much more rewarding when there is). + |
| Griffin Redreef + | Griffin is someone who was never meant for battle, but only found that out the hard way. The things he did and saw in the conflict over Redreef Shores haunt him. Rather than forging him into a soldier, his time on the battlefield ruptured his sense of self. He still holds on to his old passions: art, music, painting, literature, and most especially poetry, and possesses an endless curiosity for stories, tales, and legends. Even at his most morose, beauty sustains him. + |
| Grimgar Redrain + | Outspoken, headstrong, and with all the social graces of a bull in a china shop. Those are good ways to describe Prince Grimgar Redrain. He has a dark outlook on things, can be very pessimistic and hates change. He also picks fights at the worst of times but has the redeeming quailities of being extremely loyal not just to his family but to everyone he trusts. He can be kind at times but most likely find it hard for the large man to be anything but intimidating. + |
| Grindol Unknown + | Amiable and even keeled, Grindol takes an easy going outlook towards life. He is very slow to anger and takes most of life's travails in stride. He befriends few but is fiercely loyal to those he does choose to call friend. He doesn't look too far ahead and as such has a tendency to wander, rarely remaining in one place for long. + |
| Guilbert Touissant + | Guilbert is a very reserved person, not due to his lack of things to talk about. He never looks calm and almost always is showing off some type of nervous tick,be it as simple as nail-biting to bouts of sweating and troubled breathing. It could be assumed he is an agoraphobe due to the level of unease he seems to be at in large public places. A tightly wound, serious man who shows nothing on the surface. + |
| Guinevere Priory + | Guinevere's mind is floaty at best. There's nothing more striking about her than her ability to be completely vacant even in the midst of conversation. Despite this, she maintains a consistent and infectious aura of reverential contentness about her that instills a simple love for life. + |
| Gunnar Melaeris + | Gunnar is generally just what he seems to be, the stoic and hard bitten veteran of too many battles. Between his gruff voice, his tendency to prefer action over words, and the odd habit of frowning when pleased and offering smiles that fail to reach his eyes when not, he can be a hard man to get to know. All of this tends to conceal the man's intelligence, honor, and wit - none of which should be underestimated. + |
| Gunter Crown + | There is something simmering in the heart of this man. Vitality lingers within where his spirit is strong. Gunter is even kilter but there are cracks in the surface. The man has experienced a recent traumatic loss and he has come in search of what comes next for a man in his mid-fifties. One who still holds the tools and vigor of his less scrupulous youth. He holds tight the memory of his beloved and he seems focused on not betraying her memory. He is gruff and skeptical of society and life. He has an inherent distrust of Houses and their great interests. He is merely more apt to trust or socialize with those of modest means and social rank. He holds some lingering resentment towards the knightly sorts. + |

| Gustave Blackram + | Gustave is the very incarnation of the Blackram folk hero: a practical, unassuming, and laconic counterweight to the chivalrous ideals of the Valardin lieges. Often mistaken for an overlarge squire or a chronically misplaced serf, Gustave has done little to dissuade others from their preconceptions. This should not be confused for reservation or a lack of social grace: he simply allows others who want to fill gaps in conversation do so out of personal preference and to better know the situation at hand. He approaches life as a counterpuncher: a mild and pleasant figure all too quickly turning into an avalanche of activity and purpose at the right stimulus. Whether it be in cleaning up the messes of others or to take advantage of an overstepping rival, Gustave is a creature of extremes: he destroys or he lives and let live. In between is a dangerous place that he would rather not visit. + |
| Gwendolen Blackram + | Though she is very well able to act the part of a gallant knight, Gwendolen's utter lack of social graces becomes immediately apparent whenever she opens her mouth. She feels far more at ease in a suit of armor than a set of elegant robes, and prefers the crass banter of soldiers to the genteel discussions of noblemen. Her time as a guard has taught her to blend into the scenery around her, and she can most often be found with her back to a wall at any given function. This doesn't mean that she doesn't enjoy the company of others, however. Those who can look past her awkward mannerisms will surely find her amicable company. + |
| Gwendolyn Reed + | A shy girl who always tries her hardest in the face of things. Not used to warfare or combat and living the easy life of a commoner gives her a hardworking but easy-going demeanor, believing that hard work and the power of medicine can accomplish or help accomplish any feat. Undernearth her demureness sits a bright and cheerful woman, despite a past of struggles. + |
| Gwenna Redrain + | In a world of extremes, Gwenna prefers to avoid them. Averse to butting heads but not to friendly debate, she approaches life in a slightly wry way, and she has learned to tilt and skew and weave her way around many clashes of strong personalities, declawing nastiness before it gets too sharp. She'd rather a chilled white wine than a whiskey and she'd prefer a book and a hot cocoa to a bar fight. Some roar and swing an axe, or sing out loud with passion and verve; Gwenna would like to crack jokes by the fire while she does a little light tapestry and shares local gossip. Warm, compassionate, pleasant, affectionate, tolerantly appalled by political disaster: she is a quietly clever woman with a warm smile, a muting foil to the brash and the bombastic. Open-hearted and open-minded, she is interested in the world around her, open to the Faith of the Pantheon and to shamanism, to mystery and to legend -- not a staunch believer, but a suspecter, willing to entertain most possibilities. + |
| Gwenys Valardin + | Gwenys is a warrior in the garbings of a knight. She guards her honor and she fights evil, but any pretenses of etiquette and decorum are incidental at best with the young woman. In most other respects, one would be excused to think she is a very, very bad Princess. Gwenys is free-spirited and bold, always in motion, and can't last a full sermon of the Faith without passing out or groaning about how long the thing is. If anyone is tending to a broken arm during a family feast it will most likely be her. Uncomfortable in the halls of power, be it in Sanctum or Arx, her favorite ambiences are out in the open fields of the Oathlands, and although she may be caught wearing a dress, Gwenys is never without her sword. The more rough and tumble a situation is, the more to Gwenys' liking it becomes. + |
| Gyliam Tulfa + | One might describe Gyliam as a bitter, snuffed-out candle. He's often slumped on a sidewalk, propped up against a wall with his tin cup set out and his walking stick clutched to his side. On a particularly good day, he might be feebly calling out for spare change, clinking his tin cup around. On one of his -better- days, he might just have the energy to snap and threaten passersby when not a single coin is spared his way, cursing their privilege and the good fortune granted them. Such is his favorite topic: his envy of the fortunate circumstances of those richer and better off than himself. Any advice or suggestions given him, he immediately bats aside, often retorted with self-pity over his situation. + |
H | |
| Haakon Eswynd + | He doesn't want to be in Arx. The city is huge, smells of rats and urine, and sits half the world away from his home, where at any moment, a new battle could start without him. Moody and mercurial, on his better days he takes amusement in the unfamiliar world around him, showing good humor and wit. On his bad days, everything is irritating. He is comfortable with motion, and grows restless when kept still and idle. + |
| Haati Wavehowler + | Before the storm? He is the calm while it rages around him and he smiles the whole time. He lives life with a quick wit and a laugh to inflame the heart with joy. He enjoys life, drink, women and carousing about to be had. But when it comes to business he is that and he gets his job done and likes to think he can be count on for anything that is needed by friends or family. + |
| Hadrian Malvici + | Hadrian has crafted his public persona the way a playwright creates a character, and he has been honing and playing it more than half his life. He is a philanthropist and playboy, loved by Southport's commons for his incorrigible habits as much as his public works. Some wonder if his playful demeanor masks cruelty, for he ruthlessly punishes malfeasance in his government. The true Hadrian Malvici encompasses kindness and cruelty both. He keeps his friends and enemies off-balance, rarely reveals his true motivations, and relishes being larger-than-life. He is a textbook example that over time you often become what you at first pretended to be. If he didn't enjoy himself so much, that might disturb him. + |
| Hadrian Mazetti + | Hadrian has crafted his public persona the way a playwright creates a character, and he has been honing and playing it more than half his life. He is a philanthropist and playboy, loved by Southport's commons for his incorrigible habits as much as his public works. Some wonder if his playful demeanor masks cruelty, for he ruthlessly punishes malfeasance in his government. The true Hadrian Malvici encompasses kindness and cruelty both.

He is a textbook example that over time you often become what you at first pretended to be. If he didn't enjoy himself so much, that might disturb him. + |
| Haizea Malespero + | Emotionally labile as the wind blows. Haizea was always one to feel intensely across the spectrum, whether in delight or misery. Age has tempered this to an extent, and she the rest she insulates in the plush confines of decency and generously given smiles. But a charmer Haizea is not. Much of her freewheeling Bravuran attitudes were beaten comatose following the decimation of her former house, leaving in their wake a moody, plain-spoken and often confrontational disposition that lurks beneath her composure. + |
| Hali Harvey + | She is bold. She is strong. She is sure. Maybe just a touch cocky when her feet are on the deck of a ship. Fierce to the point of frightening when focused on a task. She can be a little intimdating. Hali just LOVES a good and juicy rumor. What sailor doesn't when you're usually stuck at sea for weeks at a time. But oh the sea she calls, and more than anything Hali loves the sea. Even better? When she gets to sail -and- explore. Ever curious for new adventures, it's what brought her to the life of a mercenary on the seas. + |
| Halla Stahlben + | Proud, strong, and fiercely independent - there's no question at all that Halla is a Northerner, down to the marrow in her bones. Though she can be prone to reserve, sometimes even silences, that call to mind the harshness of her homeland, the truth is that's simply a result of how little accustomed she is to interacting with strangers. When her true nature shines through, she laughs loudly, sings boldly, loves freely, and fights with relentless ferocity. Halla is a woman who does nothing by half-measures. + |
| Halsim Darkwater + | Devoted, pragmatic, a bit patronizing. Years of espionage work in various degrees has left Halsim jaded to idealism. Having seen the very best and very worst humans can offer, he's always sure everyone he meets has dark secrets and darker pasts. He'll never say that to your face, of course... and he'll never pretend he's any different. Stern, but willing to compromise at times, Halsim is good at what he does, but tired of always being proven right. The world of espionage is an unforgiving one, and he's survived it so far by being smarter than the others. + |
| Halsim Duskwave + | Devoted, pragmatic, a bit patronizing. Years of espionage work in various degrees has left Halsim jaded to idealism. Having seen the very best and very worst humans can offer, he's always sure everyone he meets has dark secrets and darker pasts. He'll never say that to your face, of course... and he'll never pretend he's any different. Stern, but willing to compromise at times, Halsim is good at what he does, but tired of always being proven right. The world of espionage is an unforgiving one, and he's survived it so far by being smarter than the others. + |
| Hamamor Samilliam + | Hamamor is usually reserved when it comes to conversation, but often he never is in the situation where conversation is wanted or necessary. He hides in the shadows to avoid confrontation and only acts to survive - which is where his skills in thieving and hiding stem from. It has also been rumoured that he can hold himself in a fight; but nobody has returned from a confrontation with him to uphold this claim. + |
| Hamil Fidante + | Warm, eager to please and energetic are just a few of the terms that can describe Hamil. As a child, he grew up with the ideas of the Oathlands, to be a knight in all ways. Now, as an adult, he strives to emulate the ideas of his youth. He tries to be charming, quick with a smile or a laugh and as a Champion, able to handle any words thrown his way. He's not exactly the strongest or the brightest, but he's driven to make things right and be the best that he can be. While he is not a Devotion of Limerance, he holds the values of love as high as he does his own beliefs in honoring Gloria on the tilting fields, intent on showing that the two can be intertwined and carried out in equal measure. When he has his moments of depression, he tends to redouble his efforts and hides it behind a smile. Noone should ever have to be sad around Hamil, most of all himself. + |
| Hamish Crown + | Hamish is a man prone to biding his time, listening silently, then making his point using as many damn words as he feels like. He's not one for idle chatter, but he's also not one to sit by and keep his thoughts to himself. He is also not shy about letting people know when he's done with a conversation or when he's disinterested in a topic or opinion. He can occasionally be abrupt and sometimes demonstrates a point of view that makes it a little difficult to tell where he's coming from. One might call him eccentric, except he's generally comes across as too grounded for such a description. + |
| Hammar Crown + | Hammar wants to make those he considers his 'family' or 'bosses' happy. Those who are in this widely varied classification are practically without the ability to do wrong. People on the other side of the pillow, well Hammar has had too many wrongs done to him and often and easily falls into a rage. This rage is often triggered by his misunderstanding of what people are telling him, or not understanding what they mean with their actions. Hammar is a violent person when he feels as if he is the butt end of a joke, and being a large man, this can be a dangerous situation. + |
| Hana Grayhope + | Hana is a study in contrasts, in many ways. She has an imaginative mind, which is turned to unusual and striking designs in her weaponsmithing work. Despite this, she has no desire to travel any more, preferring to stay to areas that feel comfortable and familiar when left to her own devices. She wants her crafts to be recognized, but she prefers to keep herself out of the spotlight. She's an independent young woman with a ready smile for new acquaintances, but she's also a conversational chameleon; as time goes on, she tends to find herself mimicing some of the speech patterns and mannerisms of those she's interacting with. With someone friendly and casual, she'll be friendly and casual. Formal? She'll speak formally. Aggressive posturing? She may well get up in their face. It's almost unconscious. + |
| Hannah Wyrmguard + | Headstrong. Hannah is the definition of the word. Even as a young child she knew what she wanted and was stubborn enough to see it through. At 5, she was told she was too young to learn swordplay, and so she practiced anyway proving that she could. Reckless in her youth, she has mellowed, some, and now she puts thought into her actions. But she still has trouble letting go of the things she really wants. Luckily she is not a fickle creature, she has honor and is loyal to causes she believes in. Once she's given her word, she means it. + |
| Haptenna + | With a quick smile and a self-depreciating sense of humor, one might be forgiven for initially dismissing Haptenna as yet another shallow troubadour who seeks to get by on her wits and charm. Still, there's a certain tension in her bearing mixed with a sort of hyper-vigilance that serves to undermine the callow glibness she attempts to project, that is to say, if one pays even the slightest bit of attention. + |
| Haptenna Crown + | With a quick smile and a self-depreciating sense of humor, one might be forgiven for initially dismissing Haptenna as yet another shallow troubadour who seeks to get by on her wits and charm. Still, there's a certain tension in her bearing mixed with a sort of hyper-vigilance that serves to undermine the callow glibness she attempts to project, that is to say, if one pays even the slightest bit of attention. + |
| Haptenna Crucible + | With a quick smile and a self-depreciating sense of humor, one might be forgiven for initially dismissing Haptenna as yet another shallow troubadour who seeks to get by on her wits and charm. Still, there's a certain tension in her bearing mixed with a sort of hyper-vigilance that serves to undermine the callow glibness she attempts to project, that is to say, if one pays even the slightest bit of attention. + |
| Harald Grimhall + | If possible, "grim" might be his middle name as well as that of his family. To first impressions he can seem humorless and foreboding, though there is a sardonic humor to the man. His temper is deep and slow to burn, slow to anger, he is old enough not to rail against the inevitable, but not so old yet that he is fully resigned to it. Patient, but often pitiless, he warms to those who show wit and respect. + |
| Haramus Walrington + | Although frequently amiable, the palace minister takes his position as the caretaker of the protocols that govern the affairs of royalty extremely seriously. And he will never let anyone forget it. Whether clearing his throat noisily when one of the several dozen official titles of the king is forgotten or harumphing in disapproval at a slightly relaxed form of address between peers of the realm engaged in informal conversation, Minister Haramus wishes to ensure that 'civility' is maintained at all times. Even if it makes everyone else wish to murder him. + |
| Hardwicke Morgan + | Hardwicke is a difficult man. He has a clear, strong moral compass, but it's shrouded by a social gruffness and a habitual prickliness that makes him difficult to get to know. He trends strongly to quiet reserve with a long-boiling sort of temper that is quite dangerous when it explodes. He is fiercely loyal with an unwavering sense of duty, but his high standards of behavior make him unforgiving to those who fall short, and his judgment of others can come swift and harsh. As a parent, he is tempered by his much more friendly, free-spirited wife, but his children have still been raised with a long list of expectations. + |
| Harlan Ashford + | Harlan embodies the spirit of the Ashford family; he is adventurous, brave, bold, and daring. An avid hunter, Harlan is in his element in the great outdoors, with leather armor, a bow, and a hunting falcon his only allies against the savagery of nature. Unfortunately for Harlan, he is not simply a representative of the Ashford family, but the heir, and as such, much of the time he could be spending under the open sky is instead allotted to the business of running Ashford Keep. + |
| Harlex Leary + | As with most men-at-arms his features are rough-sawn, his eyes are troubled and dark from restless sleep. But he is a consummate professional in the trade and danger moves through his aura like the glint of a knife in the dark. His careful and quiet approach to conversation begs more questions than it ever answers but though the pool is cloudy, it is shallow. He seems resigned to brevity for the sake of it, complete upon the hour rather than eluding to some mysterious silence. + |
| Harlex Valtyr + | As with most men-at-arms his features are rough-sawn, his eyes are troubled and dark from restless sleep. But he is a consummate professional in the trade and danger moves through his aura like the glint of a knife in the dark. His careful and quiet approach to conversation begs more questions than it ever answers but though the pool is cloudy, it is shallow. He seems resigned to brevity for the sake of it, complete upon the hour rather than eluding to some mysterious silence. + |
| Harmon Malvici + | Harmon both thinks and speaks a mile a minute. He constantly glances around himself both alone and during conversation with others, and is prone to tangents or obsessively focusing on certain things that capture his attentions for reasons he can only mumble in distraction. His sense of humor is, to put it politely, "inappropriate". He's also prone to laughter at jokes only he understands. For all of his frustrating qualities, however, one thing cannot be denied: His spark of genius is more like an inferno, and his tenacity is as iron-glad as his will. No maliciousness can be attributed to him, and if his attention can be seized and focused then he's always willing to help those who ask. However, certain topics will cause him to suddenly stop talking and leave as if he just remembered the most important thing in the world seconds ago. + |
| Harper Ashdown + | Harper is aware she doesn't look like a warrior, but she is content to let her enemies make the mistake of underestimating her. What she lacks in experience she makes up for in sheer will, and an outright refusal to give up on herself and those she cares about. She is far from stoic, but keeps a level head on her shoulders and does not usually exhibit reckless behavior. In many ways she is still discovering who she is, but she has a good idea of what she does not wish to be. + |
| Harper Grayhope + | Harper is aware she doesn't look like a warrior, but she is content to let her enemies make the mistake of underestimating her. What she lacks in experience she makes up for in sheer will, and an outright refusal to give up on herself and those she cares about. She is far from stoic, but keeps a level head on her shoulders and does not usually exhibit reckless behavior. In many ways she is still discovering who she is, but she has a good idea of what she does not wish to be. + |
| Harrow Steelhart + | True to the reputation of the previous Steelharts, Harrow is a man of duty that scowls and rarely, ever, smiles. Even though as a part of nobility he has been... 'trained' to act chivalrous, he tends to ignore social etiquette if it comes in the way of his duty. Entirely loyal to the King above all and nothing else, if one thing could be said about Harrow - seemingly a shallow, hardly speaking and rough man - is that he gets the job done, hence his nickname, which he embraces proudly. + |
| Haseo Ekraiven + | He is as charming and dashing as he is strong. One may even say there is not an arrogant bone in his body. And he sees to always be brimming with optimism and full of life. However sometimes he can be a bit stubborn and stuck in some of his ways. And he is quite passionate about what he believes in and tends to bottle away if anything is bothering him. + |
| Haven Leary + | Haven is a bit shy and reserved, but also cares a lot for her loved ones and friends. She is aware of her musical talent, but she strives to use it to make other people happy, not to brag and get any real recognition for it. Sure, she wouldn't mind being recognized for what she loves, but it is not a priority. She views the people in her life as a priority and makes it her goal to make their lives brighter, whether it is with music or her general company. She loves nice things, but will not scheme or manipulate to get them. She may be in the noble class, but she keeps the thought in her mind to never take advantage of others. + |
| Hazel Helianthus + | If Dame Hazel Helianthus were to ever take offence at a stone wall, those who know her would agree that it's even odds as to which would win. When she sets her sights on something this Knight generally doesn't stop until she achieves it - but that doesn't mean she cares little for the consequences. Everything she sets her eyes on is weighed, the consequences measured, and it's only after she decides that it's worth it that she brings her will to bear. And yet, despite everything, Hazel hasn't lost her sense of humour. + |
| Helena Redrain + | This woman is a chameleon, a study of contrary behavior. She doesn't like to feel out of place, so when she walks into a room she behaves like the other people there, careful to only stand on when she feels comfortable doing so. Her family gets the spectrum, the mischievous prankster, the woman who makes funny faces behind an elder's shoulder as they give a lecture, a dainty Princess at a tea party with her legs primly crossed. She has watched people her whole life and noticed how people behave and the things that make people smile and be comfortable with others. She stands out and shines when she wants to, but otherwise she'll be in the background watching until she's comfortable enough to come bursting out of her shell. + |
| Helewise Redreef + | Helewise was growing up into a tightly formed mould when she discovered instead that she was able to fight and fight well; and it has shaped her entire worldview. She has an air of near-absolute poise but rarely leans into softness. This can be mistaken for coldness but is instead reserve. Her passion for etiquette and protocol is strict and ruthless; the converse is that it is fair, and with (a little) mercy. She holds good behavior in high regard, and would see a rude prince as the lesser (in many ways) to a well-behaved and well-mannered recently-former-thrall. + |
| Helia Redtyde + | You might think that being raised by a methodical, scholarly merchant would mean that Helia would develop those same traits. But no -- for whatever reason, she's an impulsive young woman of fluctuating moods who tends to act on a whim. On the whole she has a curious streak that pulls at her attention-span and sometimes drags her into all manner of chaos, but she's not the type to sit around reading books and mulling over deep thoughts for overlong. Helia likes swords, silver, strong booze and big noisy songs. Oh, and ships, of course. Indeed, maybe the only time she can delve into self-reflection and relative quietude is when she's sailing calm seas, watching the gentle ebb and flow of whispering tides. Otherwise, she's an impatient soul and often can't be bothered to apply a diplomatic filter to her words unless she /really/ has to. It's better to just let everything out into the open, right? + |
| Hella Redtyde + | You might think that being raised by a methodical, scholarly merchant would mean that Hella would develop those same traits. But no -- for whatever reason, she's an impulsive young woman of fluctuating moods who tends to act on a whim. On the whole she has a curious streak that pulls at her attention-span and sometimes drags her into all manner of chaos, but she's not the type to sit around reading books and mulling over deep thoughts for overlong.

| Helle Waters + | Generally characterized as gloomy, depressed, anhedonic, Helle is a rain cloud of pessimism at the best of times. She can typically be found sulking against a tree somewhere, staring morosely into the distance, or complaining how fast the time flies and how life used to be so much simpler when she was a tree. The working theory is that the woman might be off her rocker. Hardly ever happy, and even when she is, she's still sardonic and a bit cynical. Ironically, Helle actually seems to enjoy being gloomy to an extent and sees it as the essence of her very being. Nevertheless, she seems genuinely appreciative of the effort her friends put forth to cheer her up and does her best to be a true friend in return. + |
| Helvetius Nightgold + | Helvetius is really a rather lazy individual. He enjoys to peruse the classics, not because he loves to learn, but just so he can show off. The man is very much steeped in the belief that all that matters is one's own pleasure. He can sometimes be haughty and rude to those he deems too stuffy for their own good, but otherwise, he is a rather amicable individual. He is carefree and doesn't much care for anything else other than having a good time. + |
| Henrick Norgbern + | Calling Henrick a hedonist would be a massive underestimation of the word. Born for sex, drugs, and the thrill of a well executed plan, Henrick can party with the best of them while off duty, but sobers up immediately when called to work. Work hard and play hard defines his existance, and he's the life of any social occasion when he's allowed to be. + |
| Herbert Gavius + | Unassuming to the point of being milquetoast, this is a man shielded by a blandness that all but begs everyone to forget he was ever in a room to begin with. Soft-spoken in a way that makes one question if he has ever raised his voice in a life, he looks like the very embodiment of a truly forgettable banker. + |
| Hickson Gales + | Inquisitive and good natured, Hickson has a gift for conversation, and seems to relish in every detail. He enjoys teaching, and will take the time to walk students through his thinking, or to listen to the stories and thoughts of others. He is also slow to anger, and generally exhibits a cool head when situations go sideways. His manners and style of speech are such that he fits in relatively comfortably with nobility and commoners alike. + |
| Hildegard Redrain + | A lifetime of interacting with pilgrims has made Hildegard comfortable amongst travelers and peers alike. Often quiet and reserved, and at times driven and consumed with a strange intensity, she's pious and devout, as well. Adherence to a strict lifestyle and personal code may make her seem unapproachable initially, but she strives to embody the tenets of the faith through compassion, chivalry and charity. + |
| Hiram Kelly + | Slick, sickly and well-read, Hiram Kelly knows his way around a good book as well as he knows his way around a bad situation. He's clever when he wants to be and he's stubborn when he needs to be with a sense of humour that waxes or wanes as darkly as the company he's currently keeping. There is an undeniable irreverence to the man when he's deep into his drink or embracing his other addictions, one so deeply-seated it often runs counter to the perfect manners he was raised with and that he sometimes employs to smooth over a situation that looks to be getting out of hand. Despite his many faults, Kelly keeps a strong sense of friendship and a keen - if sometimes misunderstood - moral code even while his wasting illness leads him down an evermore reckless and headstrong path. + |
| Holden Morgan + | Holden is a man of quiet reserve and firm convictions. His habitual restraint might be mistaken for intellectual dullness or dispassion, but underneath lies a deep wellspring of passion if one digs deep enough. He believes fiercely in the codes of honor, duty, and responsibility that he's garnered from both his family and his kingdom, and he can be unforgiving of those who fall short of the exacting standards he holds himself to. And while his personal loyalties to family and friends run deep and true, he sometimes has difficulty weighing them against the demands of fealty. + |
| Holt Weaver + | An energetic storm of smiles and chatter, he is gregarious and cheerful, Holt is a man of few mysteries, enjoying the simpler pleasures in life; he fights, he loves and he drinks, in no particular order. He's got a canny sort of experience that rarely dampens the smile often found on his lips, but he is comfortable in company that is rougher than might usually inspire trust. + |
| Hope Sovlik + | Hope is sweet, quiet, soft-spoken, and observant. She is very protective of her family and those she consider as friends. Though she is many of these things, she can sometimes be aloof. She is not easily angered, and when she is, it is wise that people keep their distance, because she might as well be a different person when her temper gets the best of her. + |
| Horatio Mercier + | Horatio is a man devoted to the pursuit of knowledge. Devoted to the point that the lad sometimes needs to be physically dragged away from his work for mundane necessities like food or water, and will forget them for days if not checked in on. In saying that though, Horatio is in no way a mild-mannered or meek scholarly type, his opinions are varied and rarely held back in conversation. Unfortunately, he lacks any sort of tact that his opinions might be expressed without insult, and often comes across as insolent at best, or downright belligerent at worse. And his short temper doesn't help much either. Unlike people (except perhaps his family) the plants, herbs and flowers he keeps are treated with kind words and meticulous care, and he speaks more comfortably in the company of his unique 'pets' then he would with any human acquaintance. Never purposely malicious or intentionally rude, the lad's heart is in the right place; it's just that it cannot get a word in edgewise with that overbearing mind of his. Horatio does indulge in some frivolity outside of his experiments. He regularly enjoys a drink or two, and has a particularly rich palate when it comes to food and there is little he will not try at least once. The lad is adventurous in his own odd way. And while he certainly won't jump at the chance of discovering new lands, because 'living rough' brings him to shudder, his sense of adventure is geared towards the weird, wonderful, and often off-putting leaps of science and medicine. + |
| Hulvaster Hagelin + | Curiosity swells beneath Hulvaster's features that appears often buried beneath a reserved composure and measured poise, a taught habit of humbleness that does not seem to want to stick despite all his effort to make it so. Much of his 'humbleness' and his reserved nature feels forced, seeming torn between self-importance brewed from hermitage and of societal expectations. Beneath that facsimile of an identity, Hulvaster can be a dry but not humorless man, colored by spouts of cheerfulness and cynicism, sometimes both strangely intermixed. + |
I | |
| Ian Kennex + | Ian is at once serene and driven, ruthlessly efficient to a degree that doesn't always seem human. Duty is what drives him -- duty to his wife, duty to his family and his people, duty to his fealty, duty to the Compact, and duty to the Gods -- and he's tireless in its pursuit. He doesn't feel as deeply most people do, and this, combined with his drive and uncompromising nature, make it hard for him to connect with people or understand the nuances of social interaction. In a lot of ways, his social limitations frustrate him more than his physical ones. It's only when he has a weapon in hand that everything snaps into focus and the world makes sense to him; it's no wonder that he only really inhabits his own skin when he goes to war. + |
| Ianna Greenmarch + | A woman with an intense passion for understanding and knowing things. Not simply believing them or hand-waving a simple explanation away, but truly knowing them. As such, she is a critic of the world around her. She can come off as rather shrewd in her conversations, always right to the point. But her sense of nobility is still strong in the way she carries herself. She is a proper woman through and through. + |
| Ianthe Artusio + | Anyone who's made the mistake of caring for Ianthe has pretty much declared that the woman has a permanent case of wanderlust. If she's not at sea or on the back of a horse, then she wants to be. Of course, every sailor has to come into port sometimes and, when she does, Ianthe indulges in the finer things in life: the richest food, the best wine, the prettiest bed mates, and the most outrageous clothing to ever offend the eye. She simply doesn't believe that a thing is worth doing unless you do it to the fullest. In addition, Ianthe makes it a goal to never take anything too seriously, including herself. If she catches herself on the verge of being anything less than fabulously unencumbered, she catches the next ship out. + |
| Icelyn Acheron + | Icelyn remains deeply conflicted about having set aside her Godsworn oaths. Her sense of identity remains deeply rooted in her devotion to the Faith, so much so that she scarcely knows herself without it! Time spent first as a guardian of the roads and later as a Shav'arvani captive has left her with a deficiency where personal pride is concerned. In fact, Icelyn's predisposition towards service and humility is quite unbecoming for her renewed station. Along with an almost willful ignorance of the nuances of political life, this contributes to her transition back into the Peerage being an uncomfortable one. For everyone. + |
| Ida Ferron + | Ida is a simple woman, with simple pleasures in life. She doesn't have much time for fancy things, and doesn't envy the nobility their political games. She loves the feel of moving her body, using her strength to create arms and armor, or any forged thing. She loves the feel of fighting, of hitting and being hit, though never out of cruelty or anger. She's very aware of herself, and the potential harm she could cause, and it gives her a gentle spirit in a lot of ways. She's rowdy and raucous, but has no taste for using her power to bring others harm, and she certainly does not tolerate those that do. People are too much fun to mistreat, and there's no satisfaction in an unworthy competitor. + |
| Ignacio Fidante + | Ignacio is a man of composure who takes care in arranging all aspects of his life with control. Some might say he is a bit obsessive in his practice but it does not affect his life or the lives of those around him. He prefers to have things neat and orderly but will not fly off the handle if a book is out of place. He will simply put the book back where it belongs regardless of who moved it. There is no need to become heated over trivial things. His easy going nature is sometimes at odds with the side of him that craves order and symmetry. He is quick to laugh, quick to share a joke or two and doesn't turn down a drink. He will not however drink to excess. Moderation in everything; even moderation. + |
| Ilandra Veracrucis + | Ilandra is very dedicated to the healing and recovery of others as a Mercy of Lagoma. She is very calm and collected. She is also a very emotional being, but manages to keep it close to her heart. With her mood usually being one that is always willing to help others, willing to serve with a happy expression. Hers is the sacrificed heart that does whatever she can for those more unfortunate. Godsworn to Lagoma as a Mercy of the afore-mentioned God. + |
| Iliana Leary + | Forthright, bright, and clever, with a quick tongue and a readiness to apply sass in any given situation, Iliana is a quick thinker with an impatient energy to her. Her sense of humor is dry and sharp, and she is unafraid to scathe when necessary. She is a doer, not a prepper; she would always rather take an action than wait, once there is enough information for a plan to be formed. She's not reckless or foolish, but she is 200% done with an abundance of caution. This brings her into frequent clashes with her husband the detail-oriented. Restless energy drives her towards action and decision. She has a practical, no-nonsense approach to a number of things in life, and tends to rain on the parades of the sentimental and idealistic. + |
| Ilinca Corvini + | It would be quite easy for those who first meet Ilinca to believe her aloof, what with her airy affect that would seem haughty, perhaps even cold, if it weren't for the fierce, somewhat unsettling intensity of the unblinking stare that focuses on the subject of her attentions. The truth of the matter lies there in her watchful eyes. As a stranger in a strange land, in many ways isolated and unfamiliar with all of that around her, she often prefers to observe the steps of the proverbial dance rather than engage in it and trod clumsily on someone's toes. Once her curiosity has been captured, however, she proves to have a formidable wit and a quick, piercing - if occasionally somewhat macabre - sense of humor. + |
| Ilira Starling + | Ilira Starling unequivocally loves to be Ilira Starling. From the passion and whimsy of her nature to the pure vivacity of her demeanor, she strives to enliven the world around her, for its sake as much as her own. Seamless in her dynamism, she might be quirky and fanciful in one breath and devastatingly sensual in the next or the same. She exults in beauty and luxury of every form, be it the decadence of riches and rarities, or the wonder of artistry, or the euphoria of intimacy--or the act of pampering her hair! Too empathetic and genuine for any true self-absorption, her detriments arise more from insecurity, in herself and in others. There is peril in the sincerity with which she engages people, and she tends to trust too quickly, fantasize too deeply, and idolize too highly, leading her to mini heartbreaks when someone disappoints expectations or shatters illusions. This, at its most adverse, transforms her desperation to see the best into a propensity to see the worst. She can be excessively sensitive, so the simplest misunderstandings or disagreements are liable to throw her off. But never for long. Resilient to the point of defiance, Ilira no longer worries about life breaking her down from the outside; she has been dealt a tragic hand or two and will cheerfully throw her middle finger at anyone here to challenge who she is. Self-confidence is both a strength and a weakness, for outward struggles are easier to defeat than inner fears. Though hers are numerous, she faces each day with her heart in her smile and her soul in her eyes, unconquerable in vulnerability. + |
| Ilira Starlys + | Ilira is inclined to skew first impressions. Despite a common status, she comports with a grace and manner that navigates her through the upper echelons. Diplomacy suits her, though a rich wit and authenticity underlies her veneer of eloquent subtlety. While the company of nobles suits her fine, she enjoys equally the grit and revelry of the lower boroughs, known to linger in taverns and wax philosophical until closing time. She is the watchful type at bars, but when a mood strikes, she'll be ready with her lute and her voice, a moment in which she truly comes to life. Her esoteric way rarely fades, save in her three favored elements of music, dance, and sea, in which a goofball whimsy and vivacity emerges to full effect. + |
| Ilira Whisper + | Ilira lives, laughs, and loves like she's challenging the world to make her stop. From performance to romance, she pours her soul into all she does, an alchemy of passion and sensuality. She cherishes and radiates her happiness, joyful just to be alive and breathing. Because under all that joie de vivre lingers inklings of pain and fear, the remnants of a time when her heart wasn't so light. Lust for life is her own form of defiance. She will sing, she will dance, she will twine bodies and hearts, and damned if she'll be done before she's dead. But frivolity has never been completely her way. Steel lies at the core of all that fire and sunshine, and she puts herself as purposefully to revelry as she does to duty. Those who come between she and a goal learn her fury, and those who threaten the ones she cares for discover just how hot that fury burns. Friends and family are the most precious. Leave them be, and she remains as vivacious and whimsical a wildling as ever. + |
| Illisahn Valardin + | A wide eyed youth with a sheltered upbringing that constantly shows itself through her naivety. She takes any opportunity to learn, being completely enchanted by mundane things. A certain innocence stills lingers, and her skill at soldiering leaves much to be desired. Plain in appearance, she looks almost more like an adolescent boy then a young woman. + |
| Ilmia Leary + | As with most Learies, Ilmia does everything with purpose and intention. Pair that with her natural beauty and intelligence, she has grown accustomed to getting what she wants. Whether it is a new set of books, a fancy new gown, or just an opportunity to explore the world around her, she knows how to get her way. However that doesn't mean she is snobbish, exactly either. More often than not she is caring, compassionate and friendly, to the point where she can be rather flirty. + |
| Ilsa Innes + | Ilsa is, in a word. Mercurial. Her laughter comes as quickly and as easily as her temper, moments of sudden inspiration as likely to take her has moments of reflection. Too well does she know that kindness must often go hand in hand with cruelty. And yet, for all that she has seen, the world in her eyes is ever new, ever surprising. A thing to be seen, and felt, and tasted. Experienced in all of its manifestations. Taking the bitter and the sweet. + |
| Ilva Fidante + | Curious and searching, she is ever seeking knowledge of any kind. Her demeanor is sweet, wry, and nearly shy if not for her boundless thirst for knowledge. She smiles often, and has a tendency to nod even if there's nothing to agree to. Beneath all that, there is a slightly cynical side, showing itself in the form of caustic comments or blunt observations. + |
| Ilvin Steadworth + | Ilvin putters, twinkles, and flits through life, darting from one task that needs doing to the next with an unfailing warmth and patience. He loves stories and songs. He has a certain reserve about his personal life, a certain reserve about his privacy, but the twinkle of humor will wink out from the depths of that reserve to gleam at people from within. He has a head for figures and tends towards simple, rational, logical solutions, to problems -- but with a measure drawn from his apparently endless and deep wellspring of compassion from inside him. What was insecurity in his youth has become in maturity a wry self-awareness. In quiet moments, he can be a little sad, a little pensive: actually the best word for it is wistful. The hand of his inner kindness is not always so warmly turned to himself as it is to others. It's hard to imagine this nice little man with the iron dignity of the Faith behind him, yet the power of his grave disappointment -- when it is leveled upon another soul -- is so rare and heavy as to be heartbreaking. + |
| Imane Zeva + | Imane is happiest when she is creating. When she has a needle gripped in her fingers and she's slowly mending, or creating a garment, there might be a smile on her face without her even realizing it. When she's at odds with herself with nothing to do, that's when her temper might appear. A generally gregarious creature, she is always out to make friends or even attempt to enchant a customer. + |
| Imi Deadfall + | Imi's personality is best described as quick, or perhaps mercurial. She's fond of smiling, quick to laugh, and quick to enjoy a good jest - even if it's played on her. But she's equally as quick to action if something needs to be done; quick to anger if someone has provoked such; quick to the defense of the weak; and quick to holy wrath when she sees an injustice performed. + |
| Imogene Seraceni + | Irrepressible: that might be the first word to come to mind when thinking of Imogene. Irrepressible energy, irrepressible mirth, irrepressible temper, irrepressible volubility -- it's all so easily seen on Imogene's surface that it's perhaps understandable if people tend to accept her at face value, to readily believe that just what she looks to be, she is. But beneath that flighty exterior, concealed behind the sparkle of her eyes, there is a thoughtfulness, a shrewdness even; a hint of mystery. She can give off an air of the most exquisite elegance and grace when she puts her mind to it, and she's capable of surprising people with both words and deeds, to the point where no one can say just why she does what she does sometimes. Which gave rise to the second word of her reputation: unpredictable. + |
| Indio Ravenseye + | Although a stoic man, Indio is fiercely loyal to his family, House, fealty, and ultimately to The Compact. In public, he is a tough shell to crack, prefering to remain an intimidating and dark figure on the wall to being a chatty and charming nobleman. Though in private he is happy to open up and get to know people. He is also always up for a good fight. + |
| Ingrid Grimhall + | Ingrid Grimhall is not quite as 'grim' as many of her family members (especially her father) yet she is a serious young woman. Sometimes in conversation it will appear she is not listening at all, but off in her head thinking through a new subject intensely. She gravitates towards people with similar interests, the usually quiet and reserved lady opening up in discussions of law, economics, and other scholarly persuits. More comfortable in small gatherings than large groups of people, but Ingrid knows that sometimes socializing is important for the nobility. She is not easy to get to know, keeping her emotions hidden to all but the few she is close with. + |
| Ingvar Grimhall + | In spite of his rather serious nature, Ingvar tends to act (and react) before thinking a lot of the time, relying on instinct over pondering the correct course of action. There are notable exceptions, such as violence. While he might engage in sparring, when it comes to a real fight, he lacks the casual approach that many Mourning Islanders take to such matters. He also has a keen interest in what lies beyond the horizon, and finds himself fascinated by stories of the lands outside of Arvum. + |
| Inigo Malvici + | Light hearted and good natured, Inigo is easy to smile and even quicker to draw in an intriguing conversation. He is fascinated by life and all the indulgences that come with it. Every experience is a fascination worth indulging in deeply, to understand, to experience all it has to offer. Though, with a blade in his hand, be it a southern rapier, a pair of swift daggers of a vicious extended pike, his demeanor changes. He becomes focused and intent on his task, able to hone in on what is being asked of him. + |
| Insaya Bergere + | Insaya can't be all things to all people, but that doesn't mean she can't make a try of it. She has a real knack for fitting in wherever she goes, melting through different social classes like butter on hot toast. Her senses are keen and honed on picking up those little details that others may miss. A warm flirt, a keen observer, a quick wit, an elusive shade of a woman whose inner core is of sturdy steel but whose outward surface shifts and flows like watered silk. She has a deep-borne tinkerer's fascination with people, with a hobbyist's desire to pick apart their motivations to the roots and find out how they tick. She balances a powerful private interest in abstract justice with a deep wellspring of independent ambition, for which the Inquisition is a fine outlet. + |
| Iona Bisland + | Iona is a good woman, and by the gods, she will make others good if it ends her. She has little patience for idiocy, and doesn't hesitate to, -very carefully-, tear someone down, until they change their ways. She's ultimately diplomatic, avoiding offering offense without cause, but she's less concerned with someone's tender feelings, and more about making them a better person as a whole. She's vicious against her enemies and fiercely loyal to her allies. Woe be unto those that betray her ? there is no coming back from that. The world is a glorious place and life is to be revered, but sometimes practicality must take precedence, and that means battle, both literal and figurative. + |
| Iosif Grimhall + | Iosif is outwardly a reserved man, keen of intellect and serious of nature. He tends to be patient but relies mostly on instinct to guide him through social interactions, especially with strangers. Playing his cards close to his chest, he's a tough nut to crack, but once past this layer of studied control one can find a man with a sharp wit and easy sense of humour. He enjoys hunting and sailing in equal measure, finding himself called frequently into the wild. When he is among the civilised, he is known to enjoy storytelling as an artform. + |
| Iovita Igniseri + | Oh, Io tries so HARD to be good: to be quiet, to be sweet, to be neat and tidy, to be and all the things that would make someone want to keep her around; all the things a young lady should be. OH, she tries so very, very hard -- and manages, at least half the time. No, that's generous -- a quarter, we'll say. If given leave, or in all-too-frequent unguarded moments: Iovita is quick-tempered and a little bit brash, headlong and reckless but whole-hearted with it; quick to love and easily heartbroken, sure, but just as quick to (mostly) recover from it. She has a stubbornly self-reliant streak born in response to being just old enough to understand the separation of being fostered, but not the reasons for it; it breaks down more easily than she would like to admit. + |
| Ira Dedalin + | Ira is possessed of a deep passion, and a manic disposition that rages from illicit levels of excitement, to sickening levels of depression at the drop of a hat. He has a particular knack for pursuing natural philosophy and science as not an intellectual, academic pursuit with which to better mankind -- but as an art form, with which to better the very soul. Keen, intelligent, and liberal in his sexual relations -- Ira possesses an independence of spirit, mind, and soul that only educated commoners might have... until they are slapped down by their noble lords, and reminded that they are, of course, common. Free from the trappings of responsibility, he pursues whatever philosophical fancy catches his mind at the moment -- and they are multitude. Of course, this might often be seen as only petty and selfish narcissism. What honest, good man has no family, no prospects, and occupies himself with funny experiments all day? While other people treat him with a well-earned disdain for his lack of normality, he sees them all as lacking in ambition. An ambition and vision that he's cultivated for years. + |
| Iraia Nightgold + | Gossip tells of headstrong child who grew into a wilful, difficult youth, curious to a fault and with a talent for getting herself into trouble. She disappeared from public view amidst rumours of some severe accident and is now just venturing back into society, seemingly much changed. + |
| Irisa Wainryte + | There is a depth of quiet regret behind Irisa's warmth. Her deep compassion is born from the understanding that she has been to a dark place, and survived with the help and charity of others, so now it is hers to offer that help and charity in her own strength. It is extremely difficult to work past the flowing energy of all that giving warmth to find the quiet seed of rage and outsiderishness that first spawned her addiction. That seed is hers and never quite died away. A true believer in everything she does, with a wide, open-hearted idealism, Irisa is ready to embrace all kinds of the foreign and special as part of the new life she has built for herself. She has a dorky sense of humor and a tendency to take the mystical and superstitious extremely seriously. She also really wants happiness. For everyone. Everywhere. Ever. It's a challenge. + |
| Irkucist Vinci + | Quiet and reserved might be the easiest way to describe him, particularly if one hasn't had the chance to get to know him well. In truth, he only appears that way on account of his naturally cautious mindset. Those that get to know him better, though, will find that he is friendly and kind, if not the bravest sould they've ever met. + |
| Iroh Keaton + | Iroh is an individual that can be best described as a philosopher, wise beyond his years. He possesses a generally humble and soft-spoken attitude paired with a sarcastic sense of humor to grant him a friendly and approachable demeanor. However, almost paradoxically, Iroh knows when it is time to be serious. He can be cruel and merciless, should the situation call for it. Overall though, Iroh is a kind fellow who cares and cares deeply. However, there is also no mystery too great, no strategy too complexing, and no battle too great. + |
| Irony Aerisian + | Ironna Aerisian could be best described as 'enthusiastic', and even that might be an understatement. Irony has Goals she plans to achieve, and the way she talks about them the capital letter is all but audible. So, so many goals... and nearly all of them are to do with being a Hero of the Realm, or a Knight of Valor, or a Reknowned Champion... or something else that can be capitalized dramatically and -- as she puts it -- make a /difference/. Oh, she's certainly friendly to those around her, but she can be terrifyingly intense when she finds someone knowledgable about the topics that interest her. And she seems to have led a surprisingly sheltered life in some ways, as the things she can be curious about are both many and varied. + |
| Isabeau Telmar + | Isabeau knows what happens to heroes - they die - and she has determined never to be one. No, Isabeau sees no need to take up arms and shield in defense of honor - there's enough of that among her people. Instead, she gives them something to champion. That's not to say Isabeau is a reckless woman, and certainly not a helpless one. But she's not at all averse to playing a damsel in distress if it can get her what she wants, and she's not ashamed to rally her chivalrous acquaintances against necessary targets with some true ruthlessness, at times. Some of it is smarts, she sees the courtly games for what they are and plays to win for the good of what family she has left. There's also a part of her that simply enjoys the feeling of power she gets when she wins someone to her side or influences someone to do what she wants, all while remaining a kind and loving woman. + |
| Isabeau Valardin + | Isabeau knows what happens to heroes - they die - and she has determined never to be one. No, Isabeau sees no need to take up arms and shield in defense of honor - there's enough of that among her people. Instead, she gives them something to champion. That's not to say Isabeau is a reckless woman, and certainly not a helpless one. But she's not at all averse to playing a damsel in distress if it can get her what she wants, and she's not ashamed to rally her chivalrous acquaintances against necessary targets with some true ruthlessness, at times. Some of it is smarts, she sees the courtly games for what they are and plays to win for the good of what family she has left. There's also a part of her that simply enjoys the feeling of power she gets when she wins someone to her side or influences someone to do what she wants, all while remaining a kind and loving woman. + |
| Isabetta Gilden + | Refined, cultured. Isabetta is still a child of the outdoors, comfortable dragging herself to the mud if need be in order to catch a criminal on the run, but one that has no problem enjoying the fine things that the Lyceum has to offer. After all, there is no law saying one pleasure should exclude the other, is there? She truly revels in the thrill of the hunt. She prefers humans as her prey, for they make a more interesting target, but any kind of hunt would do. She is not very patient with others, and is not one to offer elaborate speeches when communicating. She values brevity in word, and show in action. She might come across as aloof, but when bonds have been formed, she is loyal to a fault. + |
| Isatis Relanah + | A quiet introvert who generally prefers the company of herself and her forge, though she is not averse to contact with others. She is an optimistic pessimist, a type of pessimist few can make sense of; indeed, she can come off as a gloomy little raincloud (at times) but she's always taking every (perceived and sometimes self-contrived) misfortune that comes her way in stride, reminding herself that this was her lot and she would be content with it. She is a gentle soul, amiable and kind to those she is acquainted with as well as the occasional stranger who approaches her, believing that warmth to her fellows, though draining to herself, is a basic respect accorded to others. + |
| Iseulet Aryn + | Honey just isn't the color of her hair, but the words that fall from her lips are guaranteed to soothe the savage beast. Warm smiles that never reach those cynical eyes. A mind for numbers that surprises most people once they look past her charm. Everything about Iseult is about inviting a patron in but she has no illusions on the trustworthiness of others. She's seen too much to think that anyone keeps their word. Luckily, she has her twin to protect her back. Because her bold ways might get her in trouble otherwise. + |
| Iseulet Blackshore + | Honey just isn't the color of her hair, but the words that fall from her lips are guaranteed to soothe the savage beast. Warm smiles that never reach those cynical eyes. A mind for numbers that surprises most people once they look past her charm. Everything about Iseult is about inviting a patron in but she has no illusions on the trustworthiness of others. She's seen too much to think that anyone keeps their word. Luckily, she has her twin to protect her back. Because her bold ways might get her in trouble otherwise. + |
| Iseulet Seryn + | Iseulet carries herself with the regal poise of a Queen though there are some that would say more like a cat. They might not be wrong, as there is definitely something about the way she moves that evokes leonine temperance and grace. This capricious nature is moderated by a coquettish disposition, a wicked wit, and sharp sense of humor. Recent years in Arx have worn away her cynicism and polished her rough edges to reveal her as a sophisticated woman. Looking past her outward charm, many find that she has a surprising mind for numbers and business, her intelligence parallel to her beauty. + |
| Ishmael Gilden + | Ishmael is someone who is eager to help out. He takes a great deal of pride in his work and his ability to be of use to those that he serves. He is always polite, though not above giving his own opionion. Still, even in disagreement he is able to maintain a level of respect. Ishmael has spent a great deal of time serving the nobility, so his manners are more polished then the average commoner but he still does not step out of line. + |
| Isidora Valardin + | Isidora likes to play at being very stoic and emotionless, however, this attempt breaks when she is put under strain or someone teases her too much. This can be a mixed bag of reactions, typically anger or embarrassment. Very little doesn't make Isidora blush. She can think someone or something is very cute and it'll make her blush, though, she works hard at hiding it when she does turn red. So hard that, depending on the person, she might react in anger if brought to her attention. Isidora is very compassionate, though, not overly affectionate and has quite the temper. Despite all this Isidora is extremely loyal and she bears a honor code of her own, which is to say she /tries/ not to talk about people behind their backs, tries not to do anything that she, or her family, would deem dishonorable. + |
| Iskander Dawkins + | Professional in comportment and neat as a pin, Iskander's bearing is one that radiates confidence and competence. Though many stewards cultivate an aloof reserve, Iskander wears his propriety, courtesy, and humility like a warm and comfortable cloak that he is more than willing to share. But make no mistake, steel strengthens the man's spine, and very little escapes his notice or attention. + |
| Islin Harthall + | Carefree bordering on careless Islin Harthall is something of a wild spirit. He loves to take risks and is quite good at coming out on top after doing so. He drinks heavily, gambles often and is quick to laugh. Some might find with further examination of his character he has a fairly dark sense of humor and a strong devotion to the Queen of Endings which speaks of a deeper personality than one might first suspect. However despite his easy going nature he is still very loyal to his family and liege, obeying direct orders easily and without question. + |
| Isobella Velenosa + | A clever turn of phrase can make all the difference to a memorable social encounter or a lucrative trade deal, and sometimes it can turn one into the other. Facts and figures are Isobella's trade, whether they refer to the prices of luxury goods by day, or who wore them best that evening. Cunning like a well-fed fox, hers is a seemingly indolent savvy that would graciously sell you the shirt on your own back. Twice. + |
| Isolde Velenosa + | Few women possess the pure sense of purpose that Isolde holds. Very little concerns her enough to cause her to second guess herself, and very little ever rattles the natural and almost pervasive calm that takes over her. When she engages in social functions, she is quick to laugh, to offer warm and kind words, occasionally laced with the understanding of the Dark Reflection (however, she's very aware of when such talk is highly inappropriate.) When she's by herself, some hints of the quiet, reserved girl come out, but only because she sees no need to manufacture interaction. She has a warm, usually kind demeanor, however serious her life path may be. It is easy for her to be friendly, even in the face of the suspicion she may face because of her calling. She shoulders the burdens, allowing them to build her confidence, rarely viewing someone else with derision. + |
| Itzal Culler + | A certain carelessness where rules are concerned tend to be a given where the Cullers are concerned, yet Itzal's irreverence takes new and sometimes confusing heights. At ease wherever he goes, he shows little concern for the respect of social norms, choosing and picking those that please him, and more often than not laying traps for the unwary. A most well-spoken man, reciting the finest poetry, till one investigate the finley woven speech to uncover the hidden slights and insults. Still, he is more than aware of the line he must walk, and his charm and quick wit have saved him as often as gotten him in trouble. + |
| Ivar Halfshav + | Loud, odd, friendly, brutish, strange. All words used to describe Ivar, and none too incorrect. Though larger than life and savage, this nobleman turned wildman. He can be honorable and respectful, though in his own odd ways. He is a man of great sorrows and great joys, uninhibited in his emotions and feelings. But above all Ivar is a man that seeks to test his limits, his worth. + |
| Ivarr Saltblood + | Ivarr is a hardened man, given to seeking glory, and aggressive actions. Having been a pirate, and a thrall, and now a freed man, he has little shame or modesty when it comes to himself. He has no qualms about blood, and is of the mind that a few acts of hard and severe violence will save trouble down the road. Further still, while not cruel, he enjoys fighting, and killing, and the rush of battle, embodying the traits that give the Thrax their reputation. He's a man's man, and at his heart, a traditionalist, believing that thralls should be kept as thralls, and piracy is a good thing, and if someone is weak or unprepared then they don't deserve to keep what's theirs. He has a quick tongue that lends itself to bloody humour, and at his heart, he's a pragmatist, unafraid to run if the situation calls for it, and always open to new ideas in a military sense. He'd rather be feared than loved. He's the type of man to be fiercely loyal to someone he's pledged himself to, so much so as to ignore rules of respect or propriety in dealing with the enemies of a liege. This extends to those under his command or that follow him, to whom he has a sense of duty and family that is beyond his own safety or interests. He's also prone to drink, before, or after battles especially, and he has almost an inability to pass up a gamble. + |
| Ivy Blackram + | Ivy is one who lives in the moment despite her capability to plan for the future. Gruffly caring, her bedside manner leaves much to be desired but the results tend to speak for themselves. She has a tendency towards impulsiveness, terseness, and a clear discomfort for confined spaces and crowds. When forced into social interactions, she has a tendency towards impatience towards required etiquette that can be mistaken for rudeness. + |
J | |
| Jacali + | Odd, some might say disturbing, but always upbeat -- so jovial, so terribly polite. A consumate professional and respected 'pharmacist' with impeccable work ethic. The quality of her other ethics, however, are left to the imagination. There are those that have suggested she suffers some sort of mental malady, possessing of an unusual manner of speech and nearly obsessive quality when it comes to her impliments, but these diagnoses seem more the decree of the murmured court of a judgmental public than anything rooted in truth. + |
| Jacali Crown + | Odd, some might say disturbing, but always upbeat -- so jovial, so terribly polite. A consumate professional and respected 'pharmacist' with impeccable work ethic. The quality of her other ethics, however, are left to the imagination. There are those that have suggested she suffers some sort of mental malady, possessing of an unusual manner of speech and nearly obsessive quality when it comes to her impliments, but these diagnoses seem more the decree of the murmured court of a judgmental public than anything rooted in truth. + |
| Jace Redreef + | To Jace Redreef, honor is everything. Once his word is given, he will do everything in his power to keep it. The risk of death is perfectly acceptable if it's the alternative to breaking a pledge made. Don't try to reason with him about this, because in his eyes (well... eye), you'd be the unreasonable one. He is resolute in his loyalty, even when it's to his own personal detriment. Of course, it's not all oaths and vows and promises. Jace is a born sailor, who's never happier than when he's out on the water, whether he's reaving, hunting pirates, exploring, or anything else bearing the banner of Redreef Shores. His manners are better suited to the company of sea dogs than dainty nobility, but he makes up for it by being a talented raconteur, the life of any party that'd have him. + |
| Jack Bathwater + | Agreeable and charming, Jack has learned to put on a pleasant face most of the time. It's the result of an academic negotiation of a less than perfect (or horribly flawed, depending on how many drinks he's had) world. It's easier to be charming than difficult, and easy is what he's after. Keep work light and short, keep obligations few, do only what needs to be done so that proper attention can be paid to the few things Jack actually cares about, which are almost exclusively related to medicine and academics. + |
| Jackson Brooks + | If one were to describe him via alignment, he would be chaotic good. Freewheeling and snarky, Jackson is a decent sort, even if his morality can be quite flexible at times, so more often than not, he tries to do good, but the route to getting there can sometimes be sketchy. If there's a good deal to be made on a shipment, he's happy to agree to it. However, he's also happy to break a few rules so long as it helps getting the job done. Comfortable in his own skin, he's at ease either in a den of thieves or a fancy event for nobility, picking up social cues as easily as a toad picks up warts. Laws are meant to bent, and only broken if nobody is around, but he's just as capable of doing neither so long as it doesn't get in his way. Not one to worry too much, usually thinking that things will 'work out', and when his talking fails, his sword tends to be a good backup. As rough as his life has been, he's never let it keep him down or make him bitter, and would rather have a good time than let things he's done or had to do eat at him. Probably does at times, but never for long. + |
| Jacque Lyonesse + | He is quite inquisitve by nature trying to seek out new knowledge either about people or things, but he is still kind and not cold for it still personable and with proper respect given, fiercely caring and loyal for those he cares for family or friends, he keeps up a strong work out regimine to keep them safe. + |
| Jacque Valardin + | He is quite inquisitve by nature trying to seek out new knowledge either about people or things, but he is still kind and not cold for it still personable and with proper respect given, fiercely caring and loyal for those he cares for family or friends, he keeps up a strong work out regimine to keep them safe. + |
| Jadara Platinum + | Jadara is a sharp blade tempered with scorching fires and the heavy hammer of Jadairal's laws and customs. Where once there might have been a more playful and wildchild within, now she is disciplined and observant, always thinking twice before finally acting. A pensive and philosophical warrior, Jadara is the calm before the storm, the congregation of clouds before the thunderstrike. In less hostile environs she is cordial even when not exactly warm, absolutely respectful unless disrespected first. Cultured and well-spoken, the emissary does not seem to possess the Jadairal airs of arrogance so many have come to known, or at least she hides those very well. + |
| Jael Laurent + | Fierce and impatient with a riotous temper beneath the sturdy veneer of her duty and pride, Jael learned in early adulthood to control herself and to manage herself with discipline ... but there are times that wild warning can flash behind her eyes and there are moments when it is easy to look at that fine-featured face and imagine literal smoke huffing from her nose as she controls the urge to breathe fire. When her ambitions are blocked, she has the will and intensity of an oncoming storm, and woe betide whatever stands in her way. She is passionate, fiery and energetic; she takes herself very seriously and she will be damned if everyone else doesn't as well. That said, Jael has a low taste for shocking people and has it in her to swear like a soldier in a barrack more than like a young lady of breeding and diplomacy. Oh, also, her sense of humor is terrible. She effing loves puns. + |
| Jaenelle Velenosa + | As an adult who has found her place, no longer desiring to live only certain parts of herself for certain people, Jaenelle has come into her own. The mask she hid behind to appear unassuming enough so others never quite caught on that there was more beneath the surface shattered into pieces. Her simple minded giggles have become laughter that invokes her entire being, and quick grins that form from inside jokes. The vacantly held stares have morphed into deeply thoughtful, meaningful glances. Composed and calulated, generous to a fault and fiercly loyal, she has found the perfect balance between remaining sociable and sweet while being someone others should never underestimate again. + |
| Jaerith Keaton + | Life is short and no one seems to appreciate this more than Jaerith Keaton. Given that this is an unalterable fact, life being short, that is, Jaerith means to squeeze every ounce, every drop of *everything* out of each moment. If this means that someone might get their feelings hurt? Well, it is an experience for them to have and that only enriches their life, right? Right! In a word, Jaerith is greedy. Not for silver or clothes or pretty trinkets, though, certainly those are nice enough, but the truest currency is experience and there is very little that will keep Jaerith from experiencing something new. + |
| Jalal Whisper + | Silence. Perhaps the most shocking thing about one so capable of turning heads and grabbing the attention of all within a room is the way this man simply doesn't speak. Not that he isn't capable of speech, quite the contrary. Mincing words simply doesn't seem to appeal, unless when absolutely necessary, and even then he declines to use more than the very minimum. Instead, he allows his actions to speak for him. After all, as the saying goes; actions speak louder than words. And his every one is carefully measured, weighed, then carried out to its fullest potential in often mysterious ways that could confound and perplex those who aren't privy to the inner workings of his mind. + |
| James Chereau + | He rarely makes a sound, preferring to be a silent observer of his surroundings and as such using his facial expressions to communicate whatever nuance he wishes to expose. When he enters the room he rather not to be seen, being conscious of avoiding the light in the room, watching the entrances, and exits. He struggles with this paranoia, doing his best to be subtle about it. + |
| Jameson Valardin + | Jameson is a good man, but not quite a great one...yet. His family expects a lot from him, but he is a bit of a slow bloomer in the ways they want. They want him to be honorable and forthright and skilled in court, but he would rather slink through the woods and hunt game, or scout. He would rather watch from afar, which is NOT a choice befitting a man of his title or birthing. He is not a coward or a bad man...simply one who is not good at the things his family tends to be good at, while excelling at others. There is a stark loneliness to his life, though, and it gnaws at him. Jameson is not willing to sacrifice who he is to fill it, however. + |
| Jamie Greenmarch + | Stalwart. If there were only one word that could be chosen to describe Jamie Greenmarch. Reliable, honorable, and unquestionably loyal. Beneath that seemingly unbendable demeanor is a restless spirit who prefers the freedom of the road over the walls of nobility. Even as a child, it was obvious that his energetic and impulsive nature was going to be a problem if it wasn't harnessed and guided appropriately. Now, through experience and training, much of that impulsiveness has been tempered by discipline. On the field of battle, the eldest Greenmarch son is an anchor in the midst of chaos, the eye of the proverbial storm. Calm and steady, though woe to those who threaten the ones he loves. Simmering just below his surface is potential energy that burns as hot as a volcano's depths, ready to erupt and show the world what he is capable of if pushed too far, though that threshold is incredibly high. + |
| Jan Kennex + | Jan has the blunt, take no shit attitude of a military commander; there's not a trace of a noblewoman's grace in anything she does. It would be easy to dismiss her as nothing but a rough edged warrior -- in fact, many people do -- but there's a lot more to her than that. When Jan chose her true self over the life that her title and gender dictated, she made that choice with every fiber of her being, and with no apologies to anyone. She talks loud, drinks hard, and swears often because that's who she is, and Jan Kennex isn't interested in pretending to be someone she's not. The rest of the world can accept her, warts and all, or they can damned well get out of her way. + |
| Janora Grayhope + | Her few years of soldiering have instilled a strong discipline in Janora, commonly firm against fearful sights disruptive sights. She can have a hard time learning to trust and befriend people, having lost friends and comrades she made as a soldier, the effects still left in her mind. When coming to befriend someone, she tries too hard to protect them, never wanting another treasured soul to her lost. + |
| Jarel Redrain + | Jarel seems to be the kind of man that would do anything for his Northerner brethren, however his view on the southern houses is not very optimistic. While he seems to eschew politics, he is not unaware of them and keeps himself up to date to the ebb and flow of it within the Compact. Jarel is also mostly a quiet man who prefers to listen to others rather then talking. When he does begin to speak, it is clear he can do it quite artfully and well, as well as capable of holding deep conversations with anyone who wishes too. He also tend to be quite the friendly type as long as the person has not pissed him off. Seemingly it is difficult to pin him as a Noble because he seems to enjoy the simple things in life rather then the luxury of his particular status. Jarel's personality changes drastically in combat, focused and fierce. + |
| Jareth + | He knows he isn't the fastest, the strongest or even the smartest but what Jareth does know is people. He has an innate sense of what makes them tick, what they want from life and those around him, and this has given him a strong confidence in all social situations. He enjoys finding the perfect way to behave or the ideal remark to make others like him, and he /loves/ the attention that comes of that. That's the core of Jareth's personality: he was born nothing, overlooked all his life and he is determined that he will be both remembered and admired now. + |
| Jareth Crown + | He knows he isn't the fastest, the strongest or even the smartest but what Jareth does know is people. He has an innate sense of what makes them tick, what they want from life and those around him, and this has given him a strong confidence in all social situations. He enjoys finding the perfect way to behave or the ideal remark to make others like him, and he /loves/ the attention that comes of that. That's the core of Jareth's personality: he was born nothing, overlooked all his life and he is determined that he will be both remembered and admired now. + |
| Jareth Masque + | He knows he isn't the fastest, the strongest or even the smartest but what Jareth does know is people. He has an innate sense of what makes them tick, what they want from life and those around him, and this has given him a strong confidence in all social situations. He enjoys finding the perfect way to behave or the ideal remark to make others like him, and he /loves/ the attention that comes of that. That's the core of Jareth's personality: he was born nothing, overlooked all his life and he is determined that he will be both remembered and admired now. + |
| Jaromir Redrain + | Jaromir is a generally quiet and contemplative bear of a man that hides a deeply cynical and pragmatic personality and a relish for bloodshed. He prefers to think before acting, remaining a sea of calm in the eye of the storm, but once a decision is made is he all reckless abandon and unflinching bravado intent on seeing it through. Jaromir has a tight concern for money and seeks to build his fortune and fame, though this can be often swept aside by his weakness for gambleing and fine horses in equal measure. + |
| Jarryck Buckwheat + | Jarryck is the sort of person who you would want on your side in a fight; fierce and clever. Although a seemingly gruff man, and perhaps a little badly spoken, this is not the true personality of the man. He is, in fact, when you get to know him, a good humoured man, who can be open and friendly. Also, the fact that he is tall and big often makes some think of him as somewhat of a brute, whereas this is the opposite of the truth. He is in fact, rather intelligent, and plans what he does in advances, thinking of the risks and rewards. And although a soldier, he has a soft side and will try and protect others who are weaker than himself. + |
| Jasher Thrax + | Jasher is a conservative man whose taciturn nature has on more than one occasion misrepresented him as witless or arrogant. Those who have expended the time and energy to know him better are treated to a more conversant side of him, one that is somewhat more willing to dispense with his private thoughts and muted, albeit genuine, feelings. His sense of humor is dry, obscured beneath a mask of composure that makes his occasional quip all the more unexpected, and perhaps even more difficult to read. The prince is a layer of impassive control over a hot core of passionate energy that manifests more readily - and creditably - on the battlefield. A fierce warrior, by the book officer and proficient sailor, the prince prefers an active, regimented life and finds himself restless and discontented when separated from structure. In almost all situations, he is unlikely to yield up to a moment's recklessness unless otherwise pushed to the edge, in the absence of any other option. + |
| Jasmine diFidante + | Jasmine is known to be sweet and vivacious. She plays the part of a welcoming hostess with ease, moving between topics of conversation while ensuring everyone's drinkis topped off. Yet when the time comes, she's not afraid to drag a wallflower out to the middleof the dance floor and kick some life into things either. et there are times she's quiet, preferring to keep to herself. It's been said by more than one member of the family that she was born of two souls: one of a performer, and one of a bookworm. You just never know which you might get. + |
| Jason Elio + | Jason comes off as friendly, and very coy. He won't give you a straight answer to anything. He smiles easily, but there's a keen searching intensity in his eyes. As if he's committing everything he sees to memory. Or considering how much coin is in your purse. His charm is beguiling yet you can't help feeling you're in the presence of a person that is more kin to a snake than a man. + |
| Jasper Steelhart + | Jasper once was a young, brash knight who let his heart lead him to make great acts of courage and valor. But since being left at the altar and subsequent scandal, the young man has become a bit jaded with the world. He doesn't trust as easily as he once did. He finds more darkness in others than light. He definitely doesn't seem as enamored in rescuing damsels. + |
| Jasra el-Farah + | Jasra is inquisitive. This does not always manifest as outright questions, but can be as simple as intense scrutiny as she takes in every detail she can. Later she'll toy with these puzzle pieces in her head and try to make them fit together, only going out of her way to ask when she can't put together clues. Other times she is blunt and will send a barrage of questions to whomever she thinks has the answers, be they high or be they low. Above all, Jasra knows that life is fleeting, and in her mind the best way to honor it while it's here is to understand it. While many may find her constant questioning to be annoying, for Jasra it's honoring something that won't last forever and helping it live that much longer. 'It' usually being an idea. + |
| Jaufrey Whitehawk + | Jaufrey would never deny that he is ambitious and in possession of a considerable amount of self-regard. He takes pride in his skill and hard work, and bragging never truly hurt anyone. Unlike most nobility - with their heirloom weapons, vast riches, and access to the best instructors - Jaufrey has had to get where he is on his own, and feels he is more than justified to toot his own horn. If someone else has a problem with that, they can just deal with it. Or prove him wrong. This pride, unfortunately, comes with some notable drawbacks. The young man has high standards for himself but low patience. This has inevitably resulted in a strained relationship with his father, whose attempts to instill some wisdom in him have mostly fallen on deaf ears. Thankfully, he is frequently kind and has a strong moral compass. He has a penchant for stepping up for those who cannot defend themselves, and always fights with honor even if it may mean he loses. He is young, and has plenty of time to learn. + |
| Javarn Evrith + | Early on in his life, Javarn had developed a sense of hunger for adventure, always wanting get out and see the world, despite his families wishes. When a brutal battle and the loss of many good friends broke him in recent years, the Knight has steeled himself against the cruel, harsh realities of the world. Still, much of that dreamy-eyed sense of adventure compels him forward. Most days, if Javarn isn't sitting and enjoying a good book, or training diligently to better prepare himself for battle, he is on the move, leading the soldiers of Leary Army in patrols. + |
| Jay Rosen + | Jay is amiable and ambitious. There is a light-hearted side of him that enjoys good company and good ale, and he is comfortable mingling with people from all walks of life. He finds working with a needle and thread to be calming and therapeutic, which coincides with the side of him that is focused and detail oriented. A deeply rooted appreciation for fashion has him almost always dressed in nice clothing as he does, indeed, care about his appearance. Jay is happiest when he is designing and he certainly has an artist's eye for color, style, and texture while shopping, drawing, and painting. He is equally balanced when it comes to being physically and mentally active, enjoying a good dance and also a good book on a regular basis. Oh, and jokes. He likes a good joke and does love to laugh. + |
| Jayanthi Hawkeye + | Eccentric is one word that would describe Jayanthi. She is whimsical and impulsive, always interested in the weirdest of things. Sometimes she will go on for hours about a rock she found that looks just like a God or something like that. She tells the tallest of tales and always seems to have a kind word for someone. Family, friends, and the things she holds dear is important to Jayanthi. She will also stop talking at random moments and start doing something artsy because 'inspiration hit.' It is very rare for Jayanthi to lose her temper. + |
| Jayden Ravenseye + | Jayden is not the typical scion of the North, being a somewhat quiet and introspective young man; but it isn't that he's shy, for he will open up easily. He simply likes to observe the world around him, especially the people and signs of the spirits. He's easy to smile and easy to laugh, but hard to anger. For Jayden, anger burns cold and hard. When he makes a friend, he's loyal to them, but if betrayed he does not forgive easily. + |
| Jayeth Black + | A large bear of a man, he is given to passionate pursuit of life through his craft, drink and the chasing of pretty lasses. Boisterous and energetic, his smile is a near constant of his presence, his laughter its shadow. He lives life at the edges, a physical presence muted only when his concentration is turned to his craft. + |
| Jeffeth Bayweather + | Jeffeth is warm, and friendly, and mellow. It's possible that somewhere within that broad-shouldered frame there could be a spark of heat, for it is true there is a spine, and he will stand up for those as need standing up for. But primarily, the best weapons he has to apply to any situation -- aside from the sword and shield he has trained in -- are his patience and his understanding. He has a knack for approaching the complex, the dramatic, and the tense, and breaking issues down to their component parts, to tackle problems in small, handleable pieces, rather than huge, overwhelming panics. He is a loving man of deep optimism and golden-forged hope. Sure, he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but not everyone needs to be a genius, and his emotional intelligence is stronger than many a book-learning lesson. + |
| Jei Sevoi + | He struggles with an outward appearance of cheerfulness and calm, but struggles with anger issues. He tries to make light of things, even when it's inappropriate, and is very sarcastic. He has a problem with authority, which manifests with jokes, jibes and taunts. He's also determined, loyal and often single-minded when he's set upon a particular course of action. + |
| Jenessa Lyonesse + | A gentle soul, kind, quiet and serene, it marks Jenessa as a stark contrast to other members of her family, given the typical dourness oft possessed by the majority. Despite the hardships encountered, she's less hardened, but takes life seriously, knowing at any time it could be over. It's given her the mindset of living each day as if it were her last, appreciating the good things when they come - while still expecting the worst - and enjoying life to the fullest with no regrets. She's scholarly and bookish, more at home in libraries and educational institutions than on the battlefield, but when duty calls? It's when the traditional Lyonesse peeks through. Neither warrior nor socialite, she's not particularly socially adept; rather, she's terribly awkward and - at times - painfully shy when it comes to people. She carries a passion for travel and exploration, of learning and acquiring knowledge, and with it comes her desire to experience all the world has to offer - until bad luck rears its ugly head. + |
| Jenna Whisper + | Gentle and soft spoken often thought of as a touch meek. + |
| Jennyva Shepherd + | Jennyva is calculating. She's smarter and faster than most, with better instincts -- and she's far too smart to ever tell anyone that. When she feels like saying something snarky, it's either directed gently at herself (to seem relatable), or gently at someone safe (to win the friendship of her targets). She was never interested in war, or sport, or anything else in particular until she realized she had to step up and be the 'Face' of House Shepherd. And then she discovered something about herself. She liked how it felt to /win/. To win treaties, to win allies, to outmanuever and shore up and secure and charm what her family needed. It's an addictive feeling, and she uses all her considerable natural talents to chase it. + |
| Jephray Pike + | Being drowned and hung by your loved ones does change your perspective. A sharp and biting wit and gallows humor make him awkward in social functions. But Jeph's loyalty cannot be challenged he holds true to house Thrax as a loyal captain and house knight. Though his cousin rules from Deep Eddy, its Jeph's belief that his family died with his father and it reflects in how he treats suspected traitors. His rage builds like a hurricane, and he relishes it once stoked to ire. To friends he is kind even if crass. To his men he is a fine Captain. To his enemies, he is a Hurricane + |
| Jeraldan Crown + | He's spontaneous, humorous, has a thing for theatre and events, loves to read about occult knowledge - even though he might not fully understand it (yet). Some of the things he most hates are folks that aren't honest to him in order to gain some sort of advantage. While he'll mostly offer his help to others when there's need for it, he'll try to make also some coin out of it. Also gets himself involved often in gambling, loving the thrill of it, which ends up him being chronically broke. + |
| Jeremiah Crown + | Hot-headedly ambitious, Jeremiah is an easy-to-read man. When he is joyous, he is obviously joyous, bothered, obviously bothered. He defaults to a deferential and polite manner, a mask; he does this particularly with strangers and social betters, yet is easily-riled. To a point, he keeps it under control visually, helpless from letting emotion leak into his features and vocie but not what he says...but once it does it may drive him to further 'politeness,' obseqious 'politeness.' Pushed past that, he may drop all pretense of it, unleashing a wicked and perhaps-cruel wit. He is sharp, clever, and driven. + |
| Jeremiah none + | Hotheadedly ambitious + |
| Jericho Valardin + | Jericho is a very lively individual. He always needs to be doing -something- or other in order to feel accomplished. Though that's not to say he doesn't like a good rest. He's very focused and dedicated when on mission or on the hunt, willing to follow his 'prey' for days before he can sink in the kill. He takes his call to arms very seriously, and nothing is more important to him than family. All in all, he is a very upstanding and humble person with a slight regard for occasional mischief. + |
| Jerrica Grayson + | Jerrica is almost always moving?she has a tremendous energy and presence to her, always looking to seek out an injustice and right it! Or at least argue it into submission. She has a huge heart and a fondness for animals of all kinds. She will always, always root for the underdog and do her best to make them a winner. She's energetic and stubborn and has a tendency to argue past the point where other people would drop it out of politeness. She tends to fiercely believe in things and wants everyone else to see it her way. She's a pacifist who wants to honor Gloria by being virtuous and of course is particularly drawn to Petrichor because she loves nature. Where there's injustice or war in the world Jerrica wants to be there to make it right. Regardless of whether anyone else wants her there. + |
| Jessa Deepwood + | Jessa is intense, in everything she does. When she gives her loyalty, she gives it completely. When she loves, she loves with every fiber of her being. When she fights, she fights with all her heart. When she laughs, she laughs with her whole body. And when her temper is roused, it's like a raging storm until it blows past. She's generally easygoing with those she doesn't know, however; she views nearly every stranger as a potential new friend or sparring partner, until they prove themselves otherwise. + |
| Jessamine Fawn + | Bubbly and flighty, Jessamine is a whirlwind of energy and is always on the go with some philanthropic project in mind or cause to champion in her own way. She's a sweet girl, with a heart bigger than her coin pouch truly allows for, but she has airheaded and forgetful tendencies. Even when expressing her extreme displeasure, she is careful to phrase her frustration in the most polite and tactful way she can manage. When others are in trouble, she is the first to swoop in and offer what aid she can, from a healing hand to a shoulder to cry on. Her fervent belief in the goodness of people - and the adorable innocence of all animals (especially the small and fluffy ones) - might make her naive, but she just smiles brightly through all such criticism. + |
| Jeta Crown + | Like all in her tribe, Jeta has a strong independent streak that runs through her. Her demeanor is rough, often lacking the more refined graces and airs of those that grew up in civilized socitety, and she's all too frequent to speak her mind. She also has a healthy dose of skepticism that demands proof for even what might seem like common knowledge to most. For all this, the woman has a sharp mind and a friendly, easy-going manner, especially when around those she's familiar with. + |
| Jev Serving the Bislands + | Is he brilliant or imbecilic? Is he of fantastic manner or exceedingly irreverent? Jev is a polarizing individual: people tend to hate him or love him. His flights of fancy, odd misjudgements and spontaneous outbursts are often considered either endearing or grossly inappropriate and annoying. Always finicky and seldom serious. Or is he being serious? His eccentrism nearly makes him a parody of himself. Those intrepid enough to get to know him, however, tend to learn something else. + |
| Jhond Langst + | Jhond is charming, nearly always smiling and quick to make a joke or terrible, groan inducing pun. He is a daredevil that always seeks that next adrenaline rush. If Arx had Jack Ass, he'd be on it. + |
| Jian Cai + | In certain realms of mysticism, Jian might be considered tied to the element of water. She travels steadily forth, seeking to go around impediments so that she might continue her course. Where there's no path of least resistance she begins to pool up against the impediment and wear it down. And where there is no time or ability to wear it away, Jian becomes the torrent, ready to drill through even stone to make her way forward again. But most of the time she is the placid water, still and calm; reflective. + |
| Jinnean Silenthi + | Jinnean is a friendly, approachable young woman who is always happy to offer advice. Dedicated to the tasks she chooses to undertake, she also enjoys relaxing with a drink and joining in with social merriment. Other times, she enjoys wandering out into the wilds to spend time surrounded by nature and the solitude of her thoughts + |
| Joan Greenmarch + | Joan is clearly a prodigal, her mannerisms reveal as much. In spite of this, she tries her best to be a part of "civilized" society. Everything about her personality, from her dedication to the Pantheon to her strange obsession with reading, is in service to appearing "civilized." However, old habits are hard to break, and she can hardly stop herself from instinctively slipping in some Arvani slang. Paired with her liege's reputation, the stigma of being a prodigal is hard to escape. In order to "blend in," Joan has leaned into many Oathlander stereotypes, such as being infatuated with honor and overly pious. Although she outwardly presents as a follower of the Pantheon, she still clearly holds onto her people's shamanistic superstitions. She is particularly cautious around animals, as she was taught to venerate their spirits from a young age. + |
| Joaquin + | Joaquin, the Jack of Blades. The title suits various aspects and layers of the man in ways he prefers to leave for others to decipher rather than ruining the fun and explaining everything. Still, some things grow evident should one spend even a small amount of time with the man. For one, Joaquin having the ability to find a great many things hilarious, even if they are, by most accounts, very much not. The man who will laugh and dance in the face of the greatest of tragedies, of the darkest moments? That would be Joaquin. Whether this is just another role the man has embraced, or just his true nature, is kept, purposefully, unclear. For that too, is yet another aspect of the man, one hinted at by his other name. The Jack of Blades, a trickster of a card that finds new meaning in both the sharpness of his wit along with his ability to forge and perform with the blades to match. As befits the tradition of jesters and other such performers he follows, however, even his sharpest witticisms serve to entertain... or educate. Maybe. With Joaquin? It's maddeningly difficult to figure out. + |
| Joel Rosen + | Joel is quiet and can take some time to open up to those he just met. He finds working in his shop to be quite calming and therapeutic, which coincides with the side of him that is focused and detail oriented. His occupation has him traveling to various parts of Arvum in search of items of value and he enjoys returning to the city to fill the shelves of his shop with all sorts of new treasures. + |
| John Grayson + | John is mostly a quiet person. Although he seems to be more of the silent type, he is still quite friendly to those who wish to interact with him. This doesn't mean that John will simply trust that person, but he is willing to give everyone a real shot. This is because he firmly believes everyone has a bit of good in their hearts. He is also the kind of person who values Nature and their gifts. He also comes across as polite and respectful of others and values their opinion, even if he has a different opinion on a subject. + |
| Jonathan Fieldstone + | Cheerful almost to the point of being obnoxious, Jonathan is always prone to seeing the brighter side of life on most things, and the last to raise a fist in anger, despite his strength. He is a man of many words, but also thought, listening carefully to what is said before he offers his down-to-earth advice. He has a deep appreciation of hard work, and of his roots in the earth, feeding those around him. Service comes naturally to him, as does a quick joke or an old saying. + |
| Jophiel Bisland + | Jophiel displays a natural inclination towards soothing those hard-to-see wounds of the heart in other people. He radiates warmth, understanding, and strength of character. Not shy in the least, the Bisland lord wields a form of effortless humility that makes him a difficult man to dislike outright. One would need to dig for reasons. + |
| Jordan Ober + | Jordan hasn't been given time to stop and pursue formal education. He has a filthy sense of humor and he has a peasant's sensibilities. He knows how to show deference to his betters and how to be courteous, sure, but he'll usually forgo that for a nice and florid string of curses if he has to work his way past an incident. He tends to be loquacious and care-free: the sort of person who might make impulsive choices in life and stick to them with responsibility and some modicum of poise and yet trust in their good fortunes, but he's seldom backing down from a challenge by his peers. + |
| Jorn Honor + | Jorn is a stern and calculated individual. The blacksmith believes that your background has determined your worth, and those who are unworthy must be reforged. While Jorn believes is justice, he still respects the strength of a worthy adversary. He loathes those who have no regard for timeliness or lacks integrity. + |
| Jorunn Stahlben + | An ever thoughtful and curious fellow, Jorunn's typical warmth and ability to engage belies the savage, cold wintery conditions which he hails from. Approachable yet rarely one to approach others, he will typically be up for conversations across a broad range of subjects with a smile and a laugh. Only when someone relentlessly agitates him does he seemingly shift to what some believe is his 'true' persona: a cold, calculating figure as chilly as the Everwinter itself. + |
| Jorunna Nightgold + | Jorunna is a mystery, a whisper, and a rumor. The life of solitude in the Mountains has made her seem withdrawn, unapproachable, and her unreadable stare as well as wariness makes that personification seem all that much more real. She is blunt, curt, and business-like in most exchanges, as that is all they are to her before she retreats again to leave the rumors to spread like a newly kindled flame. As such she is a shadow in passing, but perhaps it is tha wild spark inside her that leaves a fire behind her. No matter to her. Jorunna is /free/. + |
| Jorygg Crovane + | Jorygg is a quiet, but easy going sort. He's never been rash or hasty, but neither calculating or a planning type either. He's the type that's easy to adapt to a given situation. Which might give him something of a care-free attitude, but in reality tends to consider heavily on what is going to be the most survivable outcome of a given situation. Jorygg is a survivor, and it's been his ability to adapt to his environment, whether that's in the frozen wastes or a fancy dinner party that's seen him through in one piece. And adaptable as he may be, he still has his morals, knowing that there are times that the 'right thing' and the path of least resistance are not always one in the same. Usually anything but. So he tries to be a decent man, but in the end, so long as he can make sure that he and his own make it out alright, he's done enough. Have to be realistic about these things. + |
| Joscelin Arterius + | In most aspects of the woman's life, Joscelin is loud. She can project those swear words like arrows, and no one is immune. Efficient, proud of her work, she will tolerate no silly business when it comes to being professional. At least, initially. She'll make her own judgement calls if the need arises, but her world is mostly confined to her life and her trade. Stubborn, compassionate to a fault, she often bites off more than she can handle but is the last person to admit it. Flying off the handle, she's often one to act first and think later. While this usually serves her well, either by luck or design, it doesn't work all the time, and sometimes even gets her into trouble. + |
| Josephine Arcuri + | Josephine is by all rights, an intensely private individual. Preferring to remain far from the limelight and enjoy her life of quiet repose and let her work have that far more adventurous life once it's left her hands. Interactions with customers tend to find a quiet and respectful woman who takes intense joy in her life and her family. With the lilt that betrays her heritage of being Lycene by birth to her words, it's uncommon to hear her raise her voice, no swifts movements. She is the quiet common dove in her nest and watching and always kind to her customers new or loyal. Though for the latter it seems like she might go above and beyond. + |
| Josiah Harthall + | If anything can be said about Josiah, it is that he is very loyal, especially to his family. He may be a bit more on the stoic side and have a bit of a tough exterior but in truth he is quite happy and loving once someone is willing to get past the wall he puts up. He has a weakness for a pretty face and sometimes a drink or two when he is not upon his patrol or doing his research. + |
| Joslyn Manicelli + | To the casual observer, Joslyn seems to have two completely different personalities, but to Joclyn, they are one in the same. She's a kind woman by nature, always looking for the best in others and always trying to make people laugh. She enjoys the little pleasures, and feminine things, and in many ways embodies the perfect vision of a lady's maid. She is, however, loyal to a fault, and if anybody threatens those that are close to her, and especially if they threaten her charge, she will defend them furiously. Her quick escalation to violence can come as a surprise to many that don't know her well, but when the threat is over she'll be back to her old self, as if nothing had ever happened. The bonds she forms are not easily shattered, and her loyalty is ever unwavering. + |
| Joslyn Rivenshari + | To the casual observer, Joslyn seems to have two completely different personalities, but to Joslyn, they are one in the same. She's a kind woman by nature, always looking for the best in others and always trying to make people laugh. She enjoys the little pleasures, and feminine things, and in many ways embodies the perfect vision of a lady's maid. She is, however, loyal to a fault, and if anybody threatens those that are close to her, and especially if they threaten her charge, she will defend them furiously. Her quick escalation to violence can come as a surprise to many that don't know her well, but when the threat is over she'll be back to her old self, as if nothing had ever happened. The bonds she forms are not easily shattered, and her loyalty is ever unwavering. + |
| Joslyn Stonewood + | To the casual observer, Joslyn seems to have two completely different personalities, but to Joslyn, they are one in the same. She's a kind woman by nature, always looking for the best in others and always trying to make people laugh. She enjoys the little pleasures, and feminine things, and in many ways embodies the perfect vision of a lady's maid. She is, however, loyal to a fault, and if anybody threatens those that are close to her, and especially if they threaten her charge, she will defend them furiously. Her quick escalation to violence can come as a surprise to many that don't know her well, but when the threat is over she'll be back to her old self, as if nothing had ever happened. The bonds she forms are not easily shattered, and her loyalty is ever unwavering. + |
| Jourdain Wyrmguard + | A dour, reserved man, Jourdain Wyrmguard listens a great deal and speaks comparatively little. This is perhaps reflective of a personality which prefers to observe, process, and think about the knowledge he gains from the world around him in great depth before coming to any conclusions. Many people would call this kind of person "humorless," but Jourdain is not without his own brand of humor; it's just so dry that most of the time it flies by unnoticed as humor at all. Typically calm and even-tempered, he is difficult to ruffle, though it is an open question whether that indicates deep bravery and valiance, or simply a chronic lack of desire to get worked up about most trivial matters. He seems like the sort of person who continually has "more important things on his mind," which inclines the answer towards the latter. + |
| Jovarn Grimhall + | Jovarn seems to live in a colourful, sensual world, inspired by connections with people and ideas. An out-and-out extrovert, Jovarn is often found to be spontaneously breaking into song and dance in the heat of an exciting moment. Though quick to snap a barbed retort, Jovarn is effortless in his generosity with his time and his energy. A born entertainer, Jovarn is utterly social and will chat to anyone about anything with an earthy wit, endeavouring to make everyone feel smarter, more charming, and all-around better simply from being around him. A strong aesthetic sense prompts Jovarn to take great pride in his appearance and grooming and though he isn't afraid of having a well-appointed home, or a keen eye for fashion, Jovarn is keenly aware that the world does not revolve around him. Taking great strides to be ever helpful and observant, with a great sensitivity to the emotions of others Jovarn is always happy to provide emotional support and, if able, practical advice. The main weakness of Jovarn's personality is that he is so often focused on the immediate pleasures of the moment that he will neglect the duties and responsibilities that bring about such luxuries. Complex analysis, repetitive and mundane tasks are not easy activities for him. + |
| Joxur Deepwood + | From an early age Joxur has dreamed of being someone important. Not because he wants fame and fortune, but because he dreams of putting his life on the line in the protection of others. In the service of something greater. It shows - when he's alone he is prone to brooding and long silences, but then he comes alive when there are people around. The life of the party, friend to all, Joxur is a lover and a fighter. And if he doesn't care too much for politics just yet he's still young and has a lot to learn - and right now he's focused on learning how to stay alive while making love and war. + |
| Jozef Blackram + | When Jozef was born, his future was decided for him and he was content in the role he played. He leads a very traditional life, adamant about following a code of conduct. A trait that alienates him from his libertine cousins. He never seems to stop working and is considered aloof and an introvert that takes too much of his work home. + |
| Julea Sanguine + | Julea has a lot of sharp edges, she's not the easiest person to get along with. She has difficulty trusting and at times, her temper has been known to flare quickly. though it fades almost as fast. And while she tries, she just is something of a social clutz, inadvertantly insulting nobles as she bumbles through Arx. She is loyal to those she considers her friends, and struggles to trust tending to go on the defensive, or run. Often termed a posh pauper, she frequently fails to fit in among upper and lower classes both. Very sharp, and with a wit to match her intellect, it isn't uncommon for her tongue to get her in no end of trouble. It's just as well she can run fast, it's what she does best, right? + |
| Jules Fabron + | Jules is first an outgoing personality, the type to help draw the introvert out of their shell. He shows an interest in nearly anything other people want to talk about, especially the finer things in life. What he does not enjoy is work, physical labor is more than a bore it is the bane of his existence. He'll be glad to encourage others in their work and even speak of the honor due it, so long as he need not participate. He knows how to make himself scarce or present, depending on the need. He's probably a bit too free with his compliments but there is a sincerity to them. + |
| Julia Grayson + | Gallows humor can lead to grim determination. Grim determination to guttural laughter and enjoyment of the moment. To try to pin down Julia's personality with one word might leave a person only with: mercurial. Yet that doesn't encompass all of it either. She's steadfast; if she's promised she's going to do something she will. She's true to her word in all things. And she's fast to come to the defense of friends, and equally quick to let them know their failings as she would anyone else. + |
| Julian saik + | A somewhat reserved man, but not shy. He has always kind of kept to himself. His duties have always had him bouncing around a lot, often needing to go to battle as well, he has adopted his somewhat reserved demeanor to keep himself from making great friends that he was sure he would one day lose. Close to his family and fiercly protective of them, he has always taken his duties and training as a knight very seriously. Always a pragmatic thinker, and one who likes to think tactically, he has also always been a bit more conservative than the standard southerner. + |
| Juliana Igniseri + | Juliana exudes confidence and poise with everything she does. They say she's never worn a piece of clothing or bit of jewelry she didn't design herself. Of course that isn't true, as sometimes she wears gifts from important people for exactly one social event before melting them down and turning them into something else. She is always entirely confident that she knows exactly what everyone else should be wearing and how they should be behaving. She is the most generous benefactor in the world to those who follow her lead, and the most scathing critic of those who do not. + |
| Juliana Pravus + | Juliana exudes confidence and poise with everything she does. They say she's never worn a piece of clothing or bit of jewelry she didn't design herself. Of course that isn't true, as sometimes she wears gifts from important people for exactly one social event before melting them down and turning them into something else. She is always entirely confident that she knows exactly what everyone else should be wearing and how they should be behaving. She is the most generous benefactor in the world to those who follow her lead, and the most scathing critic of those who do not. + |
| Juliet Fidante + | While Juliet is fully aware of the duties of the nobility, she is rarely moved by this purpose. Indolent in nature, she's rarely without a glass of wine within reach of her graceful fingertips, and if she isn't on her way to a party, she's in the middle of planning one. Flowers are something of an obsession with this young lady of Tor, and she can often be seen with one in her hair, or tucked behind an ear. Despite a life of luxurious leisure, hers is a sharp mind and a quick wit, winning loyal allies and bitter enemies in the same breath. + |
| Juliette Datura + | Quick to laugh and forgive, she never, ever forgets, and has periodically held a grudge long past the point of madness, but only quite rarely. She has become extremely devoted to Petrichor and Mangata since her family was accepted into the Compact, and rumor has it is very devout if not in a particularly orthodox fashion. She is romantic and idealized beauty for its own sake, with a touch of the hedonist leading to an enjoyment of most sensory related pleasures from a good meal to a soft bed to the smell of fresh coffee or spending hours kissing. + |
| Juneau Hawthorne + | Juneau can be as tempestuous as the north - wild, untamed, and free. Typically she lives from one day to the next - hardly ever planning anything at all - leading to her often having trouble relating to others or understanding their motivations since hers tend to be so fluid. Upon first impression most perceive her to be an irreverent or naive girl but once she slips past your guard can be full of sagely insight and wisdom far beyond her years. + |
| Juniper Crown + | It's easy to mistake Juniper's curiousity and energy as facets of a shallow and youthful character. She's bright of mind and spirit, with a tendency to focus on the good and the constructive as a means to balance all the bad in the world. This has often seen her written off as young, naive, hopelessly optimistic. Beneath the glimmer of high spirits and boundless enthusiasm, she is keen, perceptive and fiercely committed to maintaining the warmth she carries in her heart for her land and her people. June knows the world is a dangerous place, full of unknowns. But where she walks, the atmosphere feels less oppressive, and those she reaches out to help are often left feeling refreshed and renewed, capable of shouldering their burdens once more... so maybe there is something to her take on things too. + |
| Juniper Whisper + | It's easy to mistake Juniper's curiousity and energy as facets of a shallow and youthful character.

But where she walks, the atmosphere feels less oppressive, and those she reaches out to help are often left feeling refreshed and renewed, capable of shouldering their burdens once more... so maybe there is something to her take on things too. + |
| Jurn Thornhall + | Jurn is a bit somber, and altogether somewhat of a dour person in general who doesn't speak unless something needs to be said. He is extremely attentive and has regularly been accused of being over-analytical of things. Despite his callous demeanor he is a rather friendly and nurturing man on the inside, a natural sort of mentor to those under him and in need. His sense of humor is understandably dark and he is often times reserved for a critical delivery of sarcastic whit though it has been known to get him in trouble on occasion. + |
| Jyri Tersk + | Once a hotheaded warrior of the Black Elk tribe, Jyri is a man who prefers to act rather than talk. When he does opt to speak, it is often in a laconic manner which may catch more sensitive souls off-guard. He does not radiate concern and altruism and does not suffer fools easily. That said, his integrity, practical logic and tireless dedication to duty is undeniable even to those who disdain him for being a racial other. He insists on taking responsibility for his actions, and takes pride in the work he does - when working towards a goal, Jyri holds back none of his time and energy completing each relevant task with accuracy and patience. + |
| Jyri Whitehawk + | Once a hotheaded warrior of the Black Elk tribe, Jyri is a man who prefers to act rather than talk. When he does opt to speak, it is often in a laconic manner which may catch more sensitive souls off-guard. He does not radiate concern and altruism and does not suffer fools easily. That said, his integrity, practical logic and tireless dedication to duty is undeniable even to those who disdain him for being a racial other. He insists on taking responsibility for his actions, and takes pride in the work he does - when working towards a goal, Jyri holds back none of his time and energy completing each relevant task with accuracy and patience. + |
K | |
| Kace Redrain + | Kace grew up friendly but serious, taking her responsbilities to heart and letting it instill in her a deep sense of duty and honor. She lived life to the fullest, working hard and playing hard, even after marriage and motherhood should have tempered her. The loss of her siblings and husband took a toll, however. Where she was once gregarious and outgoing, loss and grief have made her quiet and introspective. Kace Redrain was a woman of great emotions and passions, and somewhere inside they still exist, bottled up and repressed by heartache and sorrow. She is slowly learning to be that woman again, however, one step at a time. Kace has been all work and no play for too long and that down-to-earth but fun-loving woman is starting to peek through again. + |
| Kador Bigges + | Somewhat quiet, cold and calculated. Tries to keep his cool in situations. Seems to be interested in aquiring wealth and material things. + |
| Kaede Starfinder + | Sarcastic and more than a little bit irreverent, Kaede is a survivor who meets what life throws at her with the passion that tends to come to those who have nearly lost everything. She's certainly most at home with a ship under her feet or in company with those of her ilk, preferring the company of sailors and the like. + |
| Kael Keaton + | Kael Keaton is absolutely made of the salt of the earth. Despite being rough around the edges, there is no doubting his genuine nature. He speaks the truth, or at least perceived truth, no matter if he is swiftly offering a few brusque words, or if he takes the time to craft something more eloquently spoken. Steadfast, loyal, dependable. When his word is given, it is a vow, and he expects others to behave in the same manner. This makes him a keen ally, but not one that participates well in those very necessary political schemes. Deception is treated as a grave insult, with a heavy price demanded in retribution + |
| Kael Steelhart + | While very little is known about this newly fledged noble, he appears to be made of the salt of the earth. Despite being rough around the edges, there is no doubting his genuine nature. He speaks the truth, or at least perceived truth, no matter if he is swiftly offering a few brusque words, or if he takes the time to craft something more eloquently spoken. Steadfast, loyal, dependable. When his word is given, it is a vow, and he expects others to behave in the same manner. This makes him a keen ally, but not one that participates well in those very necessary political schemes. Deception is treated as a grave insult, with a heavy price demanded in retribution. + |
| Kahlana Crovane + | Dangerous. Crafty, this woman like many others is out to seek answers. She enjoys adventure and is always out and about in the trees. The woman has been seen attending shaman rites. + |
| Kaia Bisland + | Kaia takes after her mother in many ways: particularly in the aspects of organization and a sharp eye for aesthetics and all that requires being creative. At her young age she is found to be a very competent and insightful intellectual that relies mostly on reason, knowledge and intuition when it is time to act. One would agree that she would make a reliable subject to take care of diplomatic affairs - if guided properly through the upcoming years. She has come to be known by many for her devotion and generosity; and, though sometimes she may appear to be a bit self-centered, in truth she's a kind-hearted and frisky spirit that looks up to the world and everything around her as an opportunity for gaining knowledge and adventure. She values honesty and is often very courteous to those around her - yet, she's not afraid to speak her mind and be straight-forward and feisty with her retorts if needed. However, as daring and witty as she may be, her flaws are laid empty when it comes down to the matters of the heart. She's a naive sucker for love; and therefore, a victim of it and the perils it brings with it -especially if she's against the compelling bad-boy sort of type. + |
| Kaia Malvici + | Highly influenced by her socialite mother, the small lioness, excels in the aspects of organization, with a sharp eye for aesthetics, and all that requires being creative. At first glance, and quite often, appearing to be somewhat self-centered and overly enthusiastic; most have learned with time it is all but a shallow facade. Underneath that frivolous exterior, she has come to be known, by many, for her devotion to the gods and over pouring generosity for those in great need. A kind-hearted and frisky spirit that looks up to the world and everything around her with an idealistic optimism, and an opportunity for gaining both knowledge and adventure. Honest and courteous to those around her - Kaia is not afraid to speak her mind and be both forthright and feisty with her retorts. However, as daring and witty as she may be at times, her flaws are laid empty when it comes down to the matters of the heart. She is a naive sucker for love; and therefore, a victim of it and the perils it brings with it -especially when she is against the compelling bad-boy sort of type. Time, however, has made her realize that in order to survive in the new world she had treaded into - she must become more firm, stern and resolute. + |
| Kaiden Shepherd + | It has been said of Kaiden that he would be far easier to understand if he were a set of twins, alternating which arrived depending upon the moment and occassion. The truth is that he really does -try- to be the outgoing, sociable, friendly fellow that he seems to believe he's supposed to be. He's just not that good at it. His isolated childhood made him quiet and prone to withdraw and listen, rather than be more actively involved in conversations. He tends to think before he acts, sometimes far more than he ought to, making him at times seem hesitant. He is slow to anger, preferring to try and solve problems rather than escalate them. + |
| Kaine Algair + | An autodidact of sorts, Kaine is motivated by work and learning. He is at his best when he has something to do and something to find out more about, whether it's perfecting one of his many crafts or learning more about the life story of someone he runs into at a tavern. He has a good sense of humor and a generally laid-back attitude. + |
| Kako Frost + | Kako is calm and relaxed in everyday life. At times intellectually teasing, and no stranger to a turned phrase. She has a strong wearied confidence in a past of hardship and does not intimidate easily. At times she may appear slow of mind to those who do not know her, though in truth she is simply weighing all options carefully. She is kind in nature, especially to children, and see's little difference between the greatest nobles and the haggards of unfortunate times. She is a healer by nature and tries to aid those she can. + |
| Kalani Seliki + | Plucky, stubborn, creative, caring, realistic and quietly a romantic at heart. Those are just some of the ways Kalani would be described, if anyone were to ask at least. Others might describe her as studious, attentive, quiet, shy at times or not particularly socially adept. She isn't anti-social, in fact, she's just shy. Unless she's in the thick of things, then - when and as the need arises - she can be downright bossy, assertive, and commanding. As a healer, there have been times when she's needed to use nothing less than a bellow to make herself heard. As a fighter, she's had to be quiet and swift, or shockingly loud to cause a distraction. Like anyone else, she's a complex mix of emotions, instincts, training and education, cultural and social quirks mixed with political and idealistic leanings. + |
| Kaldur Crovane + | Duty is a comfortable cloak to Kaldur, one donned eagerly chiefly because as second born he also had the luxury of taking it off. Like so many from Pearlspire, he is easy-going until a situation calls for focus. He is friendly and charming without much effort and has the polish of courtly manners even if he lacks mastery of presentation. Given a choice, he would rather be outdoors than in a stuffy salon. Kaldur's primary flaw is that he has learned to ignore fear. In chasing challenge after challenge, he even thrills at it. Cliff-jumping? Swimming depthless waters? Climbing rocks to dizzying heights? Check, check, check. His sister Peri may be interested in exploring the world, but Kaldur is interested in exploring limits. It doesn't mean he's selfish, but it does mean he'll take risks that might not be wise. Now the Duke-consort of Crovane, he may learn to temper that trait. Or may not, since I t has turned into a capacity for vision and a bone-deep trust of his instincts. Oh, and don't mess with his family, especially not Yaya Oona. He really won't like it. + |
| Kaldur Seliki + | Kaldur is Orrin's second child, and doesn't envy his sister her position as heir. Like so many from the region he is extremely easy-going until a situation calls for focus, but if he has a preference, he would rather be outdoors rather than in some stuffy court. An extrovert who is good with people, Kaldur's primary flaw is that he is utterly, unrepentantly addicted to adrenaline. Cliff-jumping? Swimming into deep water? Climbing rocks to dizzying heights, riding horses at breakneck speed? Check, check, check. Peri may be interested in exploring the world, but Kaldur is interested in exploring his physical limits. It doesn't mean he's selfish, but it does mean he'll take risks that might not be wise if he actually was his father's heir. Oh, and don't mess with his grandma. He realy won't like it. + |
| Kalila Crovane + | Kalila is a kind-hearted diplomat and healer who loves looking out for others, especially her family and close friends. She loves tending to flowers, animals, and people so that she can see them smile and recover and grow strong. She likewise loves sitting down out on the beach or up in a tree with a good book. + |
| Kalivan Greene + | A very studious man, Kalivan Greene is a relentless reader and apothecarial tinkerer, and can get so very absorbed in his little world that he can come off as a little detached at times. Despite his self-imposed hermitage he likes people just fine, but his lack of social graces can be a hinderance. He is a very patient person, and a good listener. + |
| Kamaria Mairelli + | Practical and no-nonsense Kamaria is prone to plain but polite social interactions. She possesses the wit to know when to be outspoken an gregarious and the wisdom to know when to be quiet. While far from a social chameleon, she can be found in many different types of social events making what most would call business associates rather than close friends. When it comes to her personal life, she does play her cards close to her chest but she is far from cold or aloof. + |
