• "Dour," "stoic," and "stiff" might all be …
  "Dour," "stoic," and "stiff" might all be good descriptors used by anyone meeting Rukhnis for the first time. They might be equally applicable the second, third, fourth, and all the other times, with the possible addition of "proud," "reticent," and perhaps "morose." Whatever she really thinks and feels, she isn't often much inclined to talk about it. When she is, it might be better if she wasn't, as she can be extremely blunt and judgmental. On the other hand, in general she seems inclined towards courtesy and even kindness, in an extremely formal way. She has a strong personal code of honour, and her loyalty towards anyone whom she feels has earned it knows few bounds. She is also quite intellectually curious, and harbours a carefully guarded love of poetry, dancing, and flowers.

  "Intense" is perhaps the best word to describe him, and the reasons for this have changed over time. No longer just the cold-eyed falcon driven to fixation on his obsessions that came to the city, Thomas seems to carry a blazing passion that can't help but shine through his eyes and often transforms his countenance entirely. He's a cerebral sort of man who can be found contemplating works of art or the city's shrines, or perusing private literature collections and the Archives, all with the same awe and reverence. Paradoxically, while he can often be very private, he encourages intimacy and warmth wherever he can, and likes to jest -- even if these are almost always rich with the sort of gallows humor one might expect from a long-time soldier. He is not given to hiding his emotions but prefers to wear them on his sleeve, and this is often his weakness; especially sensitive for him are the Oathlander chivalric ideals he romanticizes and tries to uphold, even if he can be shockingly pragmatic at times...as most men of the Hundred Cities are.

  %T Noble, in a word. Lissa's actions generally fall somewhere between foolhardy and outrageous, with an overwhelming tendency to leap headfirst into the aid of others. Outside of conflict, though, she's fairly calm and friendly, a bit on the skittish side of things without erring into shyness. The chivalric ideals of the Valardin people are held on a pedestal in her eyes, and almost all of her actions are in some way motivated by the romantic tales that spread by mouth amongst the commonfolk.

  %TKyden is obsessed with her art. It is her family. Her one true love. It's more important than her own well being; more important than anything else ever known. Above all, there's the sculptures she creates. She is obsessive about them, and when she finishes one, she immediately starts another. As if searching for some answer in the clay. Unfortunately, for someone so poor, sculpting is a rather expensive hobby. And she funds it through any means necessary... %TAt times, Kyden is callous; near emotionless. When she's not manically working on her art, she can seem almost eternally bored - but in an odd way, that she sort of enjoys. A nihilistic contentment with the quiet, doomed mundanity of human life. Her personality is a cycle. She puts it all into her art, energetic and insanely focused, before falling into a state of lounging, unproductive despair; almost similar to some kind of withdrawal. When it comes to her own art, she is never satisfied with the results. %TThere is something of a wall around Kyden's heart. She is guarded, and wary about getting close to people. But to her friends - those who break through the dismissive boredom - she is fiercely loyal. %T

  'Angry' would have been an ample and descriptive word for Sinhoc before becoming a member of the clergy. He had a short-fuse initially, which gradually dwindled through seminary training as he became 'closer' to the Pantheon and their worship. Some of his ilk might refer to him as having been brainwashed by the system as a result of his almost 180 personality switch, but Sinhoc knows all to well what he is doing, and firmly believes in the power and will of the Pantheon. He comes off as a thoughtful, polite individual who cares for little but the graces of God, but some have called the new him 'shallow'.

• A Lycene man of passion and fire, Alejandr …
  A Lycene man of passion and fire, Alejandro puts his heart and soul into all he does. A perfectionist when it comes to his own abilities and actions rather than others, he can tend to obsess over himself in an effort to improve. This may come across as being full of himself or self-important but his intention is always to make himself better. To play his guitar with more skill. As one might expect of both a Lycene and a skilled guitarist he is a charming and suave man. Quick with a witty reply or a smooth remark. Though common, he has spent his life amongst the nobility of House Fidante and it shows in his refinement, grace, manners, and charisma.

  A Thraxian might call her tempestuous. An Oathlander wilful. Those of the Lyceum have their own words and phrases which are best not repeated here. All that is to say Cambria is neither meek nor timid, and despite her smaller stature, she is unafraid to stand up for herself and speak her mind. Cambria can also appear aloof, even distant, leaving others to assume she is without concern or care. Time spent in her company, however, reveals a woman who is actually quite attentive.

  A being of pure action, there is no hesitation, no reluctance. She is always focused on the next step, the next improvement, and while much of that can happen through physical action, she doesn't always forget that book knowledge also proves to be helpful. In addition to being goal oriented, she's pleasant, cheerful, and outgoing in a way that matches the rest of her focused drive when she's not lapsing into quiet bouts of melancholy. The changes in behavior from forceful personality to quiet storm cloud can be slow progressions or quick changes, sometimes with nothing explaining why the sudden change.

  A bit of a firecracker, she spent years having to repress her natural inclinations. Now that she's been freed, Swift tends to let those tendencies shine through. Sharp wit and charm mix with a tendency to laugh off even the most base insults. The times she does censor herself are out of a sense of self-preservation rather than morality. Gregarious almost to a fault, Swift can sometimes blur the line between amusement and annoyance.

  A bit soft spoken and shy when you first meet her but once she starts talking you can not get her to stop. Those who know her well are a bit concerned if she falls a bit to quiet. She is known to be a bit distractible and some may call her a bit of daydreamer but when it matters her focus can be deadly. Not a girl to be underestimated. She is tough, strong and a force to be reckoned with.

  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.

  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.

  A comically humorless man, Count Philippe will never be loved by his vassals, a love he neither expects nor requires. His reputation as grim, unyielding, merciless, completely indifferent to frivolity, and callous are well deserved, but the the old warhorse has the respect of his vassals for his meticulous diligence, relentless devotion to fair (if harsh) rule, unflinching honor and unwavering sense of duty to his subjects as well as his liege. Among family it is said he shows a different, carefully hidden warmer side, with a caring devotion as a loving father. Completely untrue, though. The rumor just started because no one wants to believe someone is -always- like that.

  A courtier is never wicked, but Larissa didn't quite get that notice. Never inappropriate, but always on the edge of scandal, the Whisper enjoys the game of skirting the line. She revels in the dance of her profession, enjoying setting the trends in fashion and hair, being an example of all a good courtier should be, and tempting and taunting all who cross her path, testing their resolve as they try to resist her siren song. Never cruel, she prefers to take advantage of her station in life, careful never to go too far and cause unforgivable offense.

  A creature of dualities, those who meet Mydas will typically encounter a charming and polite man, a proper gentleman of society with knowledge of the finer things of life, as well as being a connoisseur of the arts. Acquaintances, associates and even friends will often know nothing more about the man, kept at arm's length and in thrall of his persona. Those truly close to him, however, know to discern the warm mask from the glacial, quiet man that wears it.

  A descendant of the youngest sibling in the family which was to hold Westrock Reach, Alise was given a lofty name, modeled on that of Alarice, but instead has grown up only distant cousins from those in the line of succession. This has given her a bit of prickliness about her heritage, making her proud but simultaneously uncertain of her own worth in some lights. She holds a grudge, and polishes it like some might steel. She is quick to laugh and cry, her emotions worn on her sleeve. With minor slights, she can be incredibly forgiving, but anything that reflects poorly on her personal sense of honor is unforgivable. She has a good sense of humor, but dislikes "mean" jokes. She is devoutly faithful, and has a tendency toward charity, when it doesn't infringe on trade.

  A determined laborer. He shows compassion to those around him and enjoys helping the needy. He prefers listening to speaking and carries himself with humility. He is very observant and likes to anylize problems before deciding how to deal with them. He moves at his own pace and is rarely in a hurry. In conversations he is patient and willing to listen to others.

  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.

  A flighty young woman with half a brain, or perhaps slightly less than half. She enjoys books, but rarely finds herself reading them all the way through. She also tends to forget the stories, so it doesn't really matter if she finishes them anyways. She is somewhat clumsy, has a bad taste in fashion, and is generally tone deaf, but despite her odd qualities and grim life, she is pleasant enough. She is generally in good spirits, and has a refreshing air of whimsical innocence to her. If kindness and enthusiasm were admirable qualities, she would have a rating of 10 out of 10, but they aren't. If she were a peasant she would have been food for the wolves, but luckily the girl was born into a noble family, so instead she is food for the mindless politics of noble houses.

  A former scholar who's trying to live up to the ideals of knighthood. Serapion is trying to follow the virtues of the Pantheon while also staying true to his heritage. Serapion understands well the notion of pragmatism and that the right thing is not always the smart thing to do. However, because he lacks practical experience as a knight, he tends to look to the past for the answers. Serapion's inexperience also leads him towards caution, which is easy to mistake for cowardice. He hunts for knowledge and dreams of a keep filled with history books that he can spend the rest of his days in. But he's got a long way to go.

  A free-spirited and passionate individual, Amelia can just as easily be seen in the setting of a Velenosan banquet as a Lower Boroughs tavern. Those that know her better might spot a certain cold calculation behind her amber eyes, and learn she can occasionally act ruthlessly towards those beneath her command. Ultimately, she thrives in a leadership role, and lives to achieve her ambitions.

  A friend might call Luca "easygoing". A casual observer would call him lazy. Possibly also unmotivated, unimpressed, and in need of a new shirt. In truth, he's bored to the point of despondency. It's not like he's a depressive, he still has his hobbies. Like giving in to his intense need for a drink after another easily-won duel. He just finds it hard to get worked up about things. He has a good sense of humor, and a good heart. His laissez-faire manner means he very rarely gets truly angry, even when being insulted. He's easy to be around, if not the most dependable friend.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  A guarded, pragmatic fellow, Cato can sometimes come off rather blunt. He speaks simply, and prefers relative solitude; he openly detests group meetings, preferring to meet one-to-one. Nevertheless, his manner is kind and generally well-meaning. Avarice does tend to edge his speech, and he approaches honesty as more of a luxury than a necessity; to him, telling the truth is fine when it's convenient, but foolish when it's not. This attitude often leads to him being skeptical of other's assertions in kind, and while his enquiries are often penetrating, he is loath to do more than pay lip service to all but the most accepted "truths".

  A honey-tongued cousin of the social Donatti brothers, Alexio and Andreas, Alrigo has an independent streak in comparison to the rest of the family. He knew when he arrived in Arx, and after making his first casket of silver, that he needed more. With the family's earnings taking a hit from the distant branch of the family, this left with Alrigo the mark of doing what he needed to in order to bring in casket-after-casket of silver to develop him into being a driven entrepreneur. He is quick to laugh, pearl-white teeth often on show as he talks his way out of problems. Being around Arx and the dockyard, he has begun to play the game of politics and learning whose hand needs to be shaken to get that shipment in. There is that swagger, that smile, that makes avoiding him near impossible when he sets himself to it. Later in life, after setting himself up in Arx from Ischia, Alrigo began expanding his clothing line. Learning the craft while in Arx, since dock work pays so little, ahead of the rest of the Donatti family to set-up shop. For Alrigo, that drive and need to be a success, there will be nothing to stop that business growing. For the Donatti name to be worn by every respectable man in the Compact. For DIE to be the success it needs to be to elevate their reputation.

  A large bear of a man, he is given to passionate pursuit of life through his craft, drink and the chasing of pretty lasses.

  A life of duty and discipline, Strozza plays a constant game of checks and balances. What will it cost to do one thing, how much reward reaped for the other. Calculating and tabulating all actions he takes and those taken around him. He'd be just as happy in a counting house, most feel, as he does on the deck of a ship, that is if it were confirmed if he was capable of such states as 'happy'. A ship is considered the ultimate weigh of balances. Supplies to crew. Space taken by necessities, and how much personal affects are allowed. All must be accounted for, and the keeper to be held accountable. Life is a mere extension of this. Too much flotsam and the man struggles beneath the weight, too little preparation and he flounders. It is impossible to factor for every contingency, but preparedness is rewarded with a chance to continue, to survive and learn from missteps or from what to be ready for in the future.

  A lifetime of interacting with pilgrims has made Hildegard comfortable amongst travelers and peers alike.

  A light-hearted, breezy disposition marks Katarzyna as someone that is not easily settled in one place for very long. She is amiable and engaging yet there is a keen layer beneath the surface that cuts whenever she is provoked. Her sense of survival and independence keeps her from relying on those around her, and she is quite skilled at figuring out solutions on her own. There are times when she would rather suffer in silence than ask for help, which means there is a very stubborn and persistent side of her personality that rears its ugly head whenever she is frustrated or upset. She doesn't necessarily lash out when she is in a bad head space, but she does choose to be alone to avoid conflict. Whenever she is feeling nervous or anxious, she is nowhere to be found. Deep inside is a soul that yearns to be outdoors and on the road, and she feels most alive when she is not tethered to people or places.

• A list of priorities, by Katryn Blanchard: …
  A list of priorities, by Katryn Blanchard: (1) FOR GLORIA! (2) FOR THE FAITH! (3) FOR PERSONAL HONOR! (4) everything else, I guess. Passion and verve, vivacity and drive: life defines Katryn, a buoyant wellspring of it, surging warm from the depths of her heart, undampened by reality. She loves, and she loves hard: glory, honor, the gods, the world, she _loves it_. She is not without an understanding of the darkness of the world, for she is a knight and a soldier first and foremost, and innocence dies quickly upon the battlefield. But she is a woman of dawn and hope, for whom victory _is_ the battle fought. A principled idealist with a warm strain of compassion and mercy well at hand, Katryn is stubbornly sunny, applying a considerable raw force of willpower to problems -- paired with a powerful imagination that has rarely failed her in situations where it became likely it was time to think 'outside the box'. Orthodox need not mean rigid, and Katryn is flexible about her thinking in ways she need not be flexible about her honor and morality, which are the bedrock on which all is raised.

  A man who understands the weight of responsibility, Ranver is seldom one to smile or laugh, but he is not without his own sense of joy. He finds this in his piety, as a devout follower of Jayus. His voice is even, a strength carried in his tone born from years of leadership. There is pride within him, but it is not self-glorifying. He takes pride in his family, in his people, in the traditions of his society. For himself, he reserves an overwhelming sense of duty and sacrifice. Beneath the surface, small glimpses of the pain of loss can be caught by the most discerning of eyes.

  A merry widower, rakish and flirtatious without being serious, he's a fierce defender of his crew and his family. Cassian is the sort that will joke and jest, even at sea, but when things grow serious, he's becomes grave and severe. He knows the sea, and often jokes that he's remarried to it. When he's on land, he tries to be the sort of noble that a commoner could come to with a concern without being an embarassment to his wedded family.

  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.

  A paragon of the Oathlanders' sense of nobility and honor, Lord Corban Telmar often gives the impression that he's seen much of the world and the people therein. An Oathlander knight through and through, he believes resolutely in the responsibility of the strong to defend the weak.

  A peerless commander of men from the deck of a ship, he is stoic and guarded in social settings, playing his cards close to his chest. While capable of enjoying himself socially, it seems as if he's always on guard, and so never fully embraces celebration and revelry. A passable conversationalist, his eyes always seem to be shifting to and fro scanning the area. Notably, he doesn't seem to be bothered should something be out of place. He is slow to trust, but once he does, you've earned the most loyal of friends.

  A pensive, bookish man who prefers to deal with the quill and ink, rather than with people when he can avoid it.

  A pretty redhead who quietly relishes being put into her place as kindly as she was by life and her new family's kindness. Her former anger has mostly dropped away, left with a bewildered woman trying to figure out who and what she is in the grand scheme of things. Fiery under the surface, it rarely comes out. She's got a sunny disposition most days, but has hidden from her anger in shyness. It's something she's eager to break, but this new world she's navigating is frightening to her.

Despite all of that he remains friendly, courteous, chivalric, and curious. Always willing to learn, and even more willing to help out. He has always been a man of combat, but hopes to be more of a friendly teacher in his old age, but nothing would ever keep him from fighting for his family if they needed it.

  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.

  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.

  A quiet man, Marzio is often believed to be on the shy side when described by those who know him. While not entirely true, Marzio is definitely a man who listens more than he speaks. Even tempered, a smile or laugh can be seen upon his features when the situation warrants just as easily as a scowl. Shyness aside, many who knew the man in his youth know that he tends to have a penchant for mischief and more than a fair share of practical jokes and tricks have been known to spring from the quietly smiling man's doing.

  A quiet observer, Nedios likes to watch things happen from the shadows and collect information for later use either by himself or others.

  A quiet presence, there was something to be said about the silence she often holds when in conversation or working stringently with the hooved beasts she trained, as all she had to say was in the set of her eyes, the quirk of her mouth, or the power of her stance. Given to words that held a lesson or meaning, it was rare for her to blunder into a situation without giving it some forethought and the same is to be said about outward emotion. While not visibly cold, some might describe her as lukewarm until they get to know the true woman beneath the layers of polite reticence.

  A quiet, reserved man of subtle humor and sharp eyes, he seems slow to anger despite being always ready to act. Neither haughty nor humble, there is the confidence of the competent evident in his steps and stances, the hint that he has met threats and beaten them. It is not a braggart's posturing and boisterous noises, but only a quiet stare declaring his lack of fear and his determined path. There is kindness in his eyes at times, though, and a straightforward honesty that might evidence his commitment to the ideal of chivalry.

  A rather intense young man, courteous and gallant in the way of one raised on chivalric stories, though with a temper that can slip quickly. He can seem almost desperate for acclaim, at times taking himself far too seriously. He is a fine example that those with the most threadbare prude must defend it most vigorously.

  A second cousin (and youngest of three) to the King, Reese has never been worried she might be called upon to be first among the peers and lead the Compact -- thank goodness! She has enough to worry about wrestling with the fear that she might someday be called upon to lead something else: a cavalry charge, a household, a gaggle of young schoolchildren...It's not that she's a timid or fearful young woman, no. Reese is very brave, and very conscientious. Too conscientious, maybe, so worried that her actions and decisions will lead to suffering and wrongdoing. She's rarely satisfied with a plan or policy, as a result, and is always trying to devise a better, more beneficial way to do things. Bubbly and undeniably girly, she's nonetheless got a force of personality and intellect that demands to be taken seriously.

  A self-confessed hedonist Alrec is not shy about what he wants from the world, and that is all the pleasures it can possibly provide. He tackles life with an exuberance that makes others shy away and has never backed down from a challenge or new experience in his life. But beneath the enthusiasm is a spine of iron, a discipline warrior who's faced death a dozen times and know he'll face it a dozen more. But that veteran warrior is only brought out for exactly as long as it takes to deal with enough business to go back to life's pleasures.

  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.

  A smart ass bloke who isn't as smart or wise as he think's he is, Sculley might seem insufferable at first. A joking drunk who's too high on their own ego. A cowardly man who thinks about his own life at first before reluctantly always saving someone because of his subconscious. He has a napoleon complex larger than the world of Arvum itself, and is regularly seen starting fights with local bar patrons. The only reason he isn't banned from every bar is because he is such a big money maker for the establishments he goes to. There's always an underlying guilt with every cowardly and stupid thing he does. There's something in him that feels as if he needs to do it.

  A soft, smoky voice compliments kind smiles, joviality, and the type of approachability one might expect of a gentle figure. Unafraid to mingle with lowborn or dirty her hands in one endeavor or another, she shares her presence--and subsequently her art--with any who might seek it. However, she is a creature of mystique, and grows shy when one may try to press beyond acquaintanceship. Her artistry embodies a deep passion within the woman, and often her almost dreamy mannerisms will become wholly focused upon whatever inspiration has seized her. There is certainly a charm to the woman, perhaps due to her eccentricity.

He enjoys life today for tomorrow who knows what will happen. This is not to say he will take foolish risks, but he is also not prone to let setbacks deter him. He rises above them, and does live his life from one goal to the next, always moving on to the next project, the next challenge. When he is at work, he does get focused and does often sink only into his work above other concerns. Still one can hardly argue the results.

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.

  A strong and graceful young woman, Dawn Grayson is full of fire and passion whether dressed in silk and satin or outfitted for adventure in the field. A careful diplomat, she strives to let her impassioned ideals and beliefs be known without causing offense -- and is equally careful never to let her family be scandalized. She carefully manages her temperament to be one of power, without rancor, hiding any fury she may feel until she is well and truly alone. She is naturally gregarious and likable, using all the charm her father, King Alaric III, possessed in the hopes of making herself as beloved as he was. While she knows she is capable and talented, Dawn's sure to let her deeds speak louder than words, and prove herself from King to Common, as well deserving to be acting as high lord of House Grayson in the King's name.

  A surprisingly spirited and animated woman. She has an uncanny ability to win the attention of strangers and keep it. Her charm lies in her seemingly unlimited supply of stories to tell, poems to share, or songs to play and sing.

  A survivor through and through, Amund is a man of few words.

He's the quintessential sellsword: if he is to do things for the good of all mankind, it better be worth the pay. Then again, he has that thrillseeker's edge to his personality, one that is balanced by an attempt at strategic foreplanning in all things he does, along with a marked hesitation to accept honors over wealth.

  Above all else, Llewella looks to improve things around her. Oh, sometimes this is a selfish streak of improving her own lot in life, but more than not her will is bent to help those closest to her. Or even strangers. She's not one to accept, "that's how it's always been done," if she thinks there's a better way to do it. It's an attitude she's had since childhood, and one that caused her parents some small amount of consternation. And that's when the tutors were brought in to teach her things like etiquette...nay, not teach, drill. She's unfailingly polite in her day to day business with those she's not acquainted with.

  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.

She loves the poetry of how well she fits with that, and uses that to her advantage, whether it is fighting off pirates, negotiating business, or drawing people in to hear her tales of adventure. She loves the freedom her chosen life offers her, and loves that even nobles seek her out to procure something or other.

  Adrenaline is a hell of a drug. Challenge lures him as nothing ever has. With a reckless disinterest in reputation or politics, Wash is the kind of man who tilts at storms. When low, he is very low: long spates of shadowed darkness, where nothing can draw him out a funk except, maybe, for the rush. When high, he is unstoppable, with a manic intensity and a fierce unchanneled delight in every instant of being alive. Aggressively free-spirited to the point of throwing off the yoke of all restriction and inhibition, love is the only anchor to his passion: love of his wife, love of the sea.

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.

The less generous may call her volatile, but she is loyal to the end once someone has won her trust, is driven to accomplish goals and help others do the same, and has quite the talent for questionable limericks. If there is an opportunity to shed formality and laugh into the night with a drink in hand, a friendly challenge to accept, or an adventure to be had, she'll be there.
