  Aeryn is as saccharine sweet as they come with an energy level best described as high voltage. Her personality rings of youth and innocence and naivety and rarely is there a moment when she is not bubbly and positive. There is no hint of darkness to her and not even those that know her well will ever say there's a shred of cruelty or malice within her. She is gentle, through and through.

  Aethan is a man who lives always by a strict code of honor that he'd die before he broke, but he's also a man with demons. A moody, sometimes violent perfectionist who can only see his mistakes, he has a lot to feel guilty about, and a lot to regret. Like a good man of Thrax, he keeps all of these feelings bottled up, and the face he shows to the world is composed, with a noble bearing that inspires respect, if not love. He speaks with a scalpel, never wasting an extraneous word. On the very rare occasions when the darkness within him break through, Aethan can turn into a cruel and dangerous man... which leaves him with even more to repent, when the spell passes.

  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.

  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.

  Affable, gregarious, energetic, playful and eccentric, she is prone to display a wide spectrum of emotion from one moment to the next. Her smiles are genuine and plentiful, her laughter loud and very rarely is she ever serious - except when she has to be. She doesn't seem to be affected by the loss of her sight in a negative way and is never broody or dark as a result of it.

• After witnessing the violent deaths of her …
  After witnessing the violent deaths of her parents as a child, and proceeding to grow up on the streets, Ralina has gotten lost somewhere between the low points of depression, pessimism, and the rock bottom pit of something akin to existential nihilism. Painfully antisocial and amazingly dispassionate, she doesn't particluarly care about anything, not even herself. Or so she'll gladly claim with some awful, morose bit of prose. But she has survived up to this point, and done everything in her power to do so, which discredits her stance to a degree. Despite being emotionally broken and horribly ill-equipped to deal with almost any sort of social relationship, some deep down bit of Ralina does still crave finding a place she belongs, people she can trust, even if she doesn't realize it.

  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.

  Ahmar is a quiet man, but not unkind. As a child he always felt he did not have much of a place in his family as everyone seemed so much more socially inclined and far more intelligent than he, so he often found himself turning inwards for solace when he felt overwhelmed. It wasn't that his family was unkind to him, by far the opposite, he has just always been rather introverted. Tending to get along with his animal companions more than people. Despite his introverted personality, he really does like meeting new people, he just becomes a bit nervous like he is worried he won't know what to say and will end up making a fool of himself, but those who he ends up calling friends, he becomes devoted to. There is nothing he wouldn't do for those that are nice to him. Especially his family.

  Aibek is cocksure and carefree due to his age and station in life. He doesn't take most things too seriously, and uses humor to de-esculate a situation and as a defense mechanism in dire times. The young Grayson does know what his name means to people, and does take both family and duty quite seriously. Even if is prone to manipulating his siblings and elders with the puppy dog eyes from time to time.

  Aiden is an extroverted introvert, to put it simply. There will be situations that he'll be a man of few words; words that when they come out, are laconic in fashion. It isn't that he hates people, rather, social situations can grow to be too complex and he loses interest or focus easily - or simply put, he finds them emotionally exhausting. People have far more subtle cues that he doesn't fully grasp, and in large crowds, this is entirely overwhelming for him. Certainly he will turn into a wallflower or simply leave when at his limit.

  Ailith trusts the gods completely. She may not understand exactly why a young girl from an outside, almost unknown barony, and a commoner at that, is now the personal Seraph to the Crown and royal family in the palace, but she knows the Gods have a plan for her. It doesn't matter that she itches to go into the practice yard, it doesn't matter she doesn't know all the intricacies of court politics and etiquette. All that matters is that the gods use her voice to speak their will, and she submits to their guidance. She truly cares about the spiritual well being of those around her, as well as fighting against the forces of darkness that she knows are out there. As a woman, she's generally happy and finds the good in people when she can, but she is unrelenting when she discovers someone touched by darkness. There is no higher power than the gods, and all fall short in their sight.

  Aiming to please and bring smiles to everyone she meets, Anastajia is a whimsical dancer in possession of a pure and sincere heart. Dreaming big, she hopes her existence can help to make the world a better place. She is always willing to listen to peoples struggles, and is she can, fill them with the warmth they need. Don't be fooled by her playful demeanor, however, as she is more clever than meets the eyes. If you believe she is easy to double cross, think again. Betray her one too many times and she will develop a grudge that will last life times.

  Aindre was raised to measure the success of his life in the strength of his accomplishments and so he shows no small amount of pride in that which he achieves, while admittedly shouldering heavily the disappointment of his failures. Those who know him well understand a fire burns in him not simply to meet the expectations of his family name but to exceed them in much the same way as his forebears exceeded all expectation placed upon them. He can wax fierce in competitions of both politics and swordplay, but carries a reputation for being as graceful in defeat as he is in victory. While capable of deeply serious expressions in his duties toward his family and the honor of their name, his experiences off the battlefield have also taught him when to relax his guard and celebrate.

  Aine, raised by a Pravus, has all of the charm and wit of any true Southern lady. She can turn a phrase and give a mysterious smile. She is able to flirt and socialize, to be a diplomat when the time calls for it. There is something wilder burning at the core of her soul, however, that she's repressed for a long time.

• Aislin seemingly forgets more than others …
  Aislin seemingly forgets more than others ever notice, has seen more than others dream of. A dedicated explorer, Aislin is seemingly fearless, having braved the seas of the Morning Isles, faced certain death exploring the icy Northlands, and survived the intrigues of the Lyceum on various expeditions. She's voraciously curious, but not obnoxious - she'd rather discover answers on her own rather than ask questions outright, a trait that makes Aislin an intense conversationalist, to be sure.

  Akamos is boisterous, gregarious and with a strong streak of personal honour and the need to do right by people. He relishes the opportunity to either demonstrate anything that he may be good at or tell tales of his exploits, but may be guilty of embellishing some of his stories and feats more than a little bit as he seeks approval and recognition from others. That is why he is sometimes overly keen to impress people or help them out in exchange for thanks and he seeks official titles so that everyone knows just how accomplished he is. For as confident as the brash Cyrto'ani may seem, he is in fact deeply insecure as to how he is perceived.

• Aksel is the everyman, the common man. Pol …
  Aksel is the everyman, the common man. Polite, courteous and compassionate, he has simple wants and needs, and says as much. Not to say that he has a soldierly attitude and personality, he would consider himself more a warrior than a soldier. There's honor and pride in what he does, but also the fact that he's never asked, or wanted for that matter, anything else. Like a slumbering bear, he can be jolly and hearty with friends and merciless and rage-fueled with his enemies. The grand events and gallas of the nobility only effect as much as his personal involvement, which thinkfully, isn't much. Much more inclined to stand in the background and be another face in the crowd. He's never seeked out glory, rather he feels he's just doing his job as a soldier. There's a very aware understand of what he does, and what he does isn't always pleasant and maybe there's a vibe that he feels like if he could set the sword down, and pickup a tool instead, that he would. Grudges and rivalries isn't something he has much time for, nor is what he would call 'political nonsense' that he's usually witness to. No, this is a man who only wants a simple life, but realizes that'll probably not happen for years to come.

  Alarie is a witty woman, always with a mischivous smile and a hint of mischief in her eye. She is fun-loving and creative. Having an eye for business and a love for working with her hands, she enjoys her craft as a seamstress and seems to do well by it. She is a strong woman, having her own mindset despite being in a male-driven House. This at times gets her into minor trouble, but she knows how to play along and talk her way out of tricky situations.

  Aldwulf likes to come across as having a roguish exterior. He is quick with his hands in pulling tricks, enjoys gambling, and wearing clothes that are well beyond his means. He is quick to drink, likes to appear witty, and has said on many different accounts that he simply wants to be famous and live a life of luxury without having to have some family title to go along with it to bring down all the fun by adding in responsibility. Under it all, Aldwulf has an appreciation for the academic side and is simply a lovable scoundrel. While not quite having a heart of gold, he does care about others and does not wish to do harm to others. In turn, he does really wish to feel loved, though he would never admit it even when put to the rack.

  Alessandro has mastered elegance the way artists master their craft, and it shows in everything he does. He pursues knowledge for its own sake, an eclectic, thirsty mind with a keenly energetic spirit behind it, and always has a spare pair of reading glasses in his pocket so that he can take them out and clean them with a monogrammed silk handkerchief. His will is indomitable and contrarian. He is fiercely passionate about his work, and fiercely, intensely protective of his family. He also has a keen sense of the ridiculous, and a deep -- if buried -- ability to recognize his own paradoxes and make fun of himself. But privately, if you please. Dignity is key.

  Alessio is a calmly jovial and easy-going man with a deep passion for his work, his wife and his hobbies. He is quick to smile, if not outright laugh, and has a natural talent for making people feel comfortable in his presence. He is kind of heart and always ready to help those in need should he have the chance. Beneath the calm exterior there is a burning need to succeed, to become the best at his trade, a fire lighted within him by his father from a young age. He can seem hard to figure out at first, but people who earn his trust and respect will find in him a fiercely loyal friend and a stalwart ally.

  Alexander is often seen as dark and brooding. More often than not he wears a far off expression, considering some issue of philosophy or the tactics of a long forgotten battle. When focused on the moment, however, he is as sharp as the blade he carries at his side. He isn't one for small talk, and when he speaks he is intelligent and concise, often described as being wise beyond his years. His family and its honor are of the utmost importance to him, and he actively works to bring as much of it as he can not only to the family, but to himself.

  Alexandros, templar of Gloria, is convinced that unknowable forces in the world are trying to destroy him. From the beginning of his service to the faith, he was tormented by unfounded fears and nameless terrors that preyed upon his mind. For years, he was able to function more or less normally despite his growing paranoia. As time passed, genuine bouts of panic began to intrude upon his psyche. These bouts lasted longer and longer, paralyzing him for minutes, hours, sometimes even days. Every few years he puts a new name to these forces-- demons, shivs, the smiling shadows or some other identifiable target becomes the imagined source of his fears for a time. He does his best to prove the wrongs of these imagined enemies, and anyone who has even a passing resemblance to the target is persecuted until the next delusion grips him. Occasionally, one can get a glimpse of the kindhearted man he once was.

  Alexis is generally hopeful by nature, with easy smiles and wide-eyed and bright appreciation for the world.

  Alina has the knowledge of a vast encyclopedia, and the social skills of the same. Law and gold are quite easy to the lady, but people? People are a puzzle.

• Alistair possesses the solemn bearing of a …
  Alistair possesses the solemn bearing of a man who refuses to have his path dictated by fickle passions, however deeply felt. His quiet, stern intensity holds little room for joy or despair, having given himself to a fervently pricinpled pursuit of justice to banish the ghosts of his past. The Prodigal has seen the true face of darkness as only one who has lived among the Abandoned could, and it has made him determined to the point of quiet fanaticism. His control over his emotions is beyond masterful. His position in the inquisition causes him face terrible situations, and he is painfully aware that all but a handful of his fellows care little for justice, forcing him to pragmatically attempt to do the best he can with a terribly flawed situation. He can show compassion, when it is right in the sight of the gods, and will do so despite orders if necessary? and especially then. His faith is less an evangelical calling, and more simply so pervasive in his life and mind, that he doesn't need to preach. Every word and deed is a prayer, an offering to the gods that have brought him to Arx, and he squanders neither on proselytizing.

  All at once aloof and outspoken, she'll always say what's on her mind, and seems to lack any kind of internal filter. She's often distracted with what she's currently studying, and at times getting her attention can be a real challenge, she can be borderline obsessive once she's found something she's truly interested in. Her mouth has gotten her into trouble more than once, but she manages to carry herself with just enough dignity that most will overlook her eccentricities.

She was a solitary person in a highly regimented group. Not that she didn't learn how to perform her duties she was always simply distracted. Now that she has found her place and completed her apprenticeship with those who Walk Inbetween she has become a confident young woman who is intelligent and perceptive. She is ever curious about everything and she chases rumor and knowledge with abandon. She is confident in herself and unafraid of the world around her even though she knows little of the ways of Arx being a Prodigal.

• All right, Liara is here, the party can be …
  All right, Liara is here, the party can begin!! In actuality, Liara full well knows the effort required in putting together a soiree, and it's still one of her favorite things to do. She is a woman who arranges things, like daffodils, and decorations, and decolletage. And, you know, dance partners. For herself and others. She enjoys theater, and music, and dancing. She enjoys being the star of the show, but she knows that there can be real verve, too, as part of a supporting cast. Her ego can be tremendous, but she'd never be deliberately cruel, and for that, much has been forgiven her in her life; her brash, thoughtless, youthful energy, her extroverted passion to give unto others all that she wants for herself -- be it party, passion or pizzazz, because she wants all of those things -- has led her to be the life of the Crownlands. She loves bright colors, snappy rhythm, loud music, raucous laughter, dances with stomping in them, getting into a socially approvable amount of trouble, and taking care of tiny ugly dogs. The tinier and uglier the better.

  All that Seva has ever desired was the opportunity to learn. Even as a child, her head was always stuck in a book or out exploring. As an adult, that curiosity has not dulled. However, Seva now knows her limits and how to navigate the delicate political landscape to find out what she wants to know. She compiles secrets quietly, saving them for rainy days. Unfortunately, she has a gentle soul and it takes quite a bit for her to act against someone. By then, her iffy composure will have given her intent away.

• All warfare is deception. Outwardly, she …
  All warfare is deception. Outwardly, she is enigmatic by design. She is not short on words when she writes, but she uses few of them when she speaks. Her tone normally as soft as down, but the words she chooses are as sharp as the arrows she carries. She is green and she is black, like the colors she often chooses to wear: the color of olives for peace; the color of grief for war. The only thing that is certain is the deliberation in the display she projects. Victory and defeat are matters of circumstance. Inwardly, she is dreadfully focused outwardly. She has forsworn life, which only leads to death; but she has embraced death to find her life. Not knowing what will happen in the next moment, what moments she has she puts towards her projects in service of others, be they for her family, her friends, or her lieges. For her, the execution of service is the path to enlightenment. And the only way to perfect service is to give everything to its attainment. The noblest struggle is justice before a tyrant. Having had her nobility stripped from her, she is aware what it is like to live without that privilege; having had it returned, she understands the power of redemption. Of all the causes she aids, the most important is that of the common people, and nothing pushes her more in service than caring for and elevating them. She is fiercely loyal to her soldiers; she offers aid to all commoners who seek to rise; and she sees few as deserving of that which they did not earn with work or blood. True wisdom is freedom from one's own ideas.

  Allegra wears her sarcasm and wit like a veil of misdirection, the young woman's love for words and books expertly weaved into sharp cynism that is all the rage in the courts of Setara. The youngest Pravosi has no patience for arrogant fools, but may have a certain weakspot for good-hearted ones, her mercy towards broken things and underdogs derived almost entirely from her father's teachings and an ability to see herself in them. The Pravosi carries herself with the ease of a Setarcan courtier and is renowned for her love for wine, her talent for butchering her rivals with her sharp words, and her kind and gentle demeanor to those less fortunate than her.

  Almost always serenely composed or stoic, she is able to hold her emotions in strict abeyance. She is neither timid or afraid to speak her mind though many have come to regret assuming her silence speaks of weakness. She is calculating and patient and time spent in her company reveals her to be perspicacious with a keen mind. She is dedicated to reason and practicality and finds joy in pursuits of the mind. Some might assume she may be droll, dry, and boring but this is far from the truth. She has a hidden passion for the artistic, often shutting herself up for days or weeks at a time to focus on her own creations. She is also quite charming when she wants to be, with a surprisingly wicked sense of humor.

• Although Charlemagne did consider his form …
  Although Charlemagne did consider his former match with the Countess a kindness, the fact remains that he and Magaen were hardly very well acquainted until relatively recently. Warm and nurturing with a temper only when the right buttons are pushed, it's Charlemagne's fear that he will be regarded in House Charon as the lingering unwelcome reminder of the familial feud that his arrival coincided with. A proud Lord of the Oathlands standing tall against a backdrop of wild-willed northerners, Charlemagne is consistently having his sensibilities tested. That his new family is now to play guardian to a shamanistic religious site is of particular concern to the orthodox knight. It's for the sake of his family's position that he perseveres to embody patience and the greatest chivalrous tact in the face of this, the f***ing unthinkable.

  Although a stoic man, Indio is fiercely loyal to his family, House, fealty, and ultimately to The Compact.

Though in private he is happy to open up and get to know people. He is also always up for a good fight.

  Although few have ever heard Cyril's voice raised above indoor-level, he has a firm and commanding presence. A gifted orator, his soft-spoken words have a way of swaying others to his cause. That's not to say he's stern or aloof. Cyril's quite amiable, always open to new ideas and suggestions or differences of opinion. Compromise is key in negotiations and the lord is very aware of that fact. Pragmatic and slow to anger, he's well-suited to the arena of court and politics.

  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.

  Although undeniably talented, there's something very off-putting about this commoner. No one can quite say why. He's unfailingly courteous and polite, nearly obsequious. He's pleasant to anyone who comes to visit his shop. But he always just seems a little... off. He has a way of talking that seems very unusual, and seems to have no common interests whatsoever. The way he stares at people often makes others uneasy. No one seems to know where he came from, or what he does besides his work, and his neighbors go out of their way to avoid casual contact if they can help it.

  Always curious and inquisitive, eager to meet new people. Nina is a woman of seemingly effortless charm and grace despite her common birth. She puts out an effervescent energy and has no problem taking center stage, not being one to hide her light. She has a way with both words and song, and can quickly turn a phrase into a rhyme or joke. If she dislikes you, her tongue may be sharper, but she usually hides this in a turn of phrase clever enough for it not to be outright noticed. However, she is not terribly quick to judge and can always find something interesting about another person.

  Amantha's got a strong sense of duty and honor, a heart the size of the moon for the weak and downtrodden, and she approaches the world with the fierce determinism that seems to be a hallmark of the Harrow women. She knows how to cut loose, enjoy a strong drink, and in some circles is known for her singing voice. But don't cross those who matter to her, she's a ferocious protector for those she cares for.

  Ambitious, focused, and resilient - typically good, but sometimes infuriating traits for a commonborn nobleman to possess. At first glance, Silas is outwardly friendly, and quick to smile and offer a compliment. He gets a rush out of competitions, and anything that physically challenges him will generally make him happy. He can lead and follow, he is not afraid of risk or failure, and will help most people if they simply ask. But still waters run deep, and his pride is often a double-edged sword. He is stubborn and strong-willed. He has an ego, even if it doesn't manifest in a blatant manner, and he is resistant to criticism or change. When it comes to his loved ones being attacked, the limits of his patience fray easily and he lashes out. Apologies don't come easily to him. On the whole, it has so far worked out for him, though.

  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.

  Amieli devotes herself to things quickly and readily, fully anticipating their ending because she understands time and place are fickle confidants. Through time and trial she has learned to be cheerful and polite, in an impersonal, build bridges and expect to forget them kind of way. There is a clear distinction between the optimism and soft-spoken supportiveness she offers others and the effort invested into the capacity to provide them, but in her genuineness she is ruthless: Amieli will twist the truth, charm, manipulate like any proper Lycene, but always with a single-minded intensity; rarely if ever are her motives multilayered or complicated.

  An affable and self-effacing man, Agostino is a good listener if not perhaps the best confidante in general, given his reputation and chosen career. Though incredibly inquisitive, he is not easily distracted once he becomes focused on something, though he adapts easily to finding ways around obstacles that stand between him and what he seeks. In spite of the way many in the city might view him, he has a strong loyal streak, though few have ever gotten to know him well enough for that to show.

  An ambitious and adaptable young man seeking to restore his lineage's name alongside his brother after playing a part in tarnishing the family name.

  An archetypal rogue whom could easily be considered wild and roaming, he is a free spirit who enjoys laughing, flirting, drinking, and the occasional fight. Many people may miss the fact that his easy charisma hides a cleverness. A man equally at home drinking and fighting with sailors or attending a noble ball, though he would prefer the company of other scoundrels and less reputable sorts.

  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.

  An autodidact of sorts, Kaine is motivated by work and learning.

  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.

  An expressive man with a creative streak that is only rivaled by his own depth of focus, when he has his mind set to a task he can drown out the rest of the world with a clinical ease. The quest for knowledge(power) and money supercedes his desire for companionship and he has been known to dedicate long hours to his research instead of starting a family or enjoying social gatherings. He is clever and sharp of wit, observant to the point of insulting at times, generally tactful enough to clean up after himself when those unprompted observations fall out of his face. He presents a very professional persona but Orick is a boy who came from nothing and he is always looking for his next leg up in the world.

And when she's not acting childish, she has a maturity that defies her appearance. She's easily embarrassed, and often becomes irritable when she is.

He is a social creature, and thrives in such environments, as opposed to those where brawn is valued over wits. He enjoys the finer things in life, likely because growing up he did not have any of them.

  Andromeda is a regal woman who knows what she wants in life and there is little that will change her mind once she is decided on anything, although she is not unreasonable and is always willing to adapt. The Sword of Tremorus is fierce when on the field of battle or dealing with those she feels are lesser than herself. She does possess a sense of humor, of course, but it's very dry and sarcasm is her weapon of choice during social engagements. Among warriors, sailors, and brash types she is charming and inspiring in a way that is hard to put a finger on for most everyone else. Despite her years of experience on the field of battle, she has maintained her honor, dignity, respect and compassion for people who do so love one of their greatest Heroes. True bloodshed is not something she reaches for so easily even though she -does- enjoy a bit of violence from time to time to keep her wits about her. Within reason, of course.

  Andry is a survivor first and foremost. While other Knights may look down on this attitude, being more self sacrificing and 'noble' Andry hasn't lived as long as he has that way. He's done it by making the right choices to put him and those closest to him first. Yes there's ideals, there's the Gods who obviously come first, but there's always a way to make sure there is still a way to advance. Andry is always planning. There's always an angle, he casts wide nets to get involved with a great many projects, giving favors reaps favors, after all. Andry tries to keep up good relations with everyone he meets, you never know when they might be useful. He's a careful meticulous planner who makes sure to have his fingers in as many pies as possible and his sharp eye and wit to help out those in need. He is deeply pragmatic, and while his true loyalties only belong to a select few, he views them as an extension of himself. While he's a deep thinker, relying heavily on his mental skills, he is also given to bouts of passion and emotion which can sometimes be his greatest bane. Leaving him often perplexed at himself the night before, trying to figure out how to get out of this pickle. Andry also likes to use his keen mind for practical jokes. It is often a way to show those he cares for he has a deep love for them. Intricate, meticulous but ultimately harmless pranks being the tops.

  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.

  Anyone who knows Basilio knows that he's a summer child that hasn't quite grown up yet. His knack for finding humor and fun in the most dour and dreadful situations tends to annoy the more serious types, especially when his jokes are bad. Does he care? Not one bit. Okay, maybe a little, if a Thraxian lord threatened to mince his balls if he slugged out any more puns. While his free-spirited attitude can barely keep him still enough to read a book, he enjoys learning new things but prefers to learn them on the job. He is most often tempted to experiment on people, whether they realize it or not. On days when people don't interest him, he is happy enough being alone and satiating his curiosity with dives, collecting trinkets and memorabilia that have been forgotten beneath the waves.

  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.

Kind and virtuous yet ruthless and merciless, he is both and is so splendidly. He holds a deep love for his family and people, his loyalty to them unbreakable.

  Appolonia's foundation is curiosity. Perhaps it is Pravus, perhaps it is simply some sort of horrible feline spiritual touch, but she has always had her mind turn towards the unseen, towards things uncharted and seas unsailed. This has drawn her largely into scholarly pursuits, where she can gratify this desire without too much work. This curiosity has extended to the nature of humanity. Why do people do what they do? What do people truly think? Are people truly bad or truly good? Is virtue inborn or made? These kinds of topics, as well as a mixture of the social graces and a certain amount of natural poise, have made Appolonia able to get along with just about anybody and leave a good impression for the length of a quarter of an hour. After this... well, that's about how long it takes for the strangeness of her interests to show themselves. Even then, though, she is rarely without poise.

  Approachable and friendly, there is a joyfulness to her that goes slightly against the grain of a typical Grimhall. But despite her outgoing, friendly demeanor she is just as capable of lapsing into thoughtful silences when she's got a puzzle to solve, or a knot to untangle. Openly curious she is unafraid to pick at things until she gets answers, or manages to irritate someone in the pursuit of those answers. Beneath the friendly curiosity, beyond the quiet inquisitiveness, there does lurk the more typical behavior of her family, but it tends to come out more in moments of intense stress than day to day life.

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

  Ardoin is one of those annoyingly optimistic folks, even in the face of the odds stacked against him. Impeccably pious, his veneration of the Pantheon is only matched by his strongly held convictions of right and wrong, honor and fidelity. That, combined with his steadfast belief in chivalry, scholarly pursuits and very serious belief in the Valardin knight being the sword and shield for the commoner has led to some friction within the family - which he happily ignores, remaining as genial and approachable as ever. Still, the idea that the commoners should be granted more land and economic opportunities while being steadfastly supported by a stronger hand of the nobility has made him less than popular in the minor branch of the Valardin family to which he belongs.

Not a very nice place it seems for whatever she experienced there has made her a different person altogether. Where she was once brash and disrespectful she is now restrained and properly deferent. Her demeanor is a cultured one of self-respect and quiet wisdom.

He prefers quiet, studying a situation for a long while before speaking, acting, or otherwise making his involvement known. But Arman most definitely is involved. If there is intrigue, he is not far behind. He may offer smiles and pleasantries, but there is always something lurking under the surface of this man. He has a somewhat feared reputation - after all, one word from him could send other, lesser Lycene houses tumbling. Arman sees the world in grays -- he is neither a good man... nor a bad one.

  Armani is what many would call a wild child. She often throws caution to the wind and acts on what she thinks would be the best method, both for her own enjoyment and for her family. It might be a surprise that someone so impulsive, if not out of control, would take two things with the utmost seriousness: being on the seas and writing. She may border on being a pirate with her actions but she never fails to assure her crew and her ship are kept safe. Perhaps her love of reading and writing came from the long hours at sea for rarely does a time go by, when not being a captain, that she isn't writing something. She has a massive love for jewelry, it sparkles so prettily, and when she is /angry/ there is quite a proccess about removing it and she is often saying things along the lines of 'Hold my jewelry.

As a Knight of Solace, he is not a foul man in temper, especially to those in need or those suffering, and is in fact, willing to give all up to the shirt upon his back in such cases.

  Arthur is a good man, but not a grand one. He came from nothing and wants something, but he is not a greedy man. He is practical and knows the importance of wealth, however. Some nobles do not really understand the importance of their wealth, but Arthur grew up in the gutter, so he gets it. However, he does not want lavish riches or opulence. He would be happy to not have to scrape and scrap for each meal, and to have a comfortable bed, a woman to love, and to be able to do the craft he loves. Life, however, is never that simple, and he knows that. While he comes from a rough childhood, he has managed to keep a certain sense of hope and idealism through his worship of the Gods...specifically Jayus. He considers Jayus his patron, and many of his actions in life he views as being in service to him. He is loyal to those who earn his loyalty, and while he is not some hardcore warrior, he will shed blood to defend those he thinks require it. He is rough, but kind. Charitable, but practical. Skilled, but humble. Like any decent person, he is complicated.

  Artur struggles with directed focus on many things in his life because there is so much to do and learn and be. Fancies tug at him like will-o-the-wisps, and he'll chase them with all the energy of an overgrown fleethound until the next one catches his attention and turns him after it. He can frequently get cheerfully lost down logic trains that make little sense outside his own head, and also, he's very bad at jokes, not because he doesn't enjoy humor but because he tends to "get" them about twenty minutes after everyone else in the room, sometimes with a loud "Oh!" and then a now-completely-inappropriate chortling laugh. Warm and friendly, frequently hyperactive almost to a point of manic in his energy, he can be contagious in his enthusiasms, and it's very easy to get caught up with him in his energy. Sometimes people go along with his ideas only -- once out of his company and no longer subject to the Arturian common sense jamming field -- to stare around and wonder what happened.

  Arturo is a man at odds with his occupation. He does whatever he can to scrape by -- and there is little he wouldn't do if his situation demanded it-- but he has little drive or ambition to further himself. He is demure and shy, and one can hardly get a word out of him, lest he has lute in his hand. Music is his muse and inspiration, his true love, second only to that of his most favored vice. Dust. He has an addictive personality, almost to the point of being eccentric. When something strikes his fancy, he will obssess over it to no end, only for his eye to be caught by something else a week or month later. Music and dust have been the only things to capture his attention for any length of time. Beneath the surface of his quirks and shady jobs lies a kind, smart man.

Whether the fact that he's proud of being a Sergeant in what he believes is the best trained military in Arvum, the fact that he's survived as long as he has, or both. He is not the bragging sort, he would rather be doing his job. Quiet and a touch reserved, he knows how to speak to the every day soldier but tends to falter a touch when around nobility, preferring to be seen and not heard. That is, unless he's being spoken to. But in his usual silence is a lifetime of combat experience, which he believes makes him just as relevant as any knight or lord. Experience that he is more than happy to back up. And while the loss of his arm might weigh heavy on him, the fact that he's still standing, willing to sacrifice more if need be is a testament to his will.

  As little more than a delicate flower blooming in one of the worst places nature could shine, Briar has been no stranger to the harshness of adjusting to an unfamiliar climate. For the most part impressively, she's done it with a smile on her face. The thing that shines through the most beyond a soft face is the kind and quiet atmosphere she carries with her from place to place. Never does she raise her voice and she always walks with a very guarded elegance to her gait. She always tries to take up as little space as possible and occupy it for just as shortly. She is considerate to others in all things, always taking the route that makes things the easiest for those around her. Despite her affliction of sight, Briar is always keen on her surroundings in many other ways. She is often feeling the edges of the walls of the room she's in or listening to a hushed noise several feet away. She remains expressive enough to always show alertness to whatever is happening within her own personal space and an impressive range outside of that.

  As might be expected from a scion of the North and South, Cirdan is a man of contrasts. Where one might expect clashes, however, his different natures instead serve to complement each other to create something greater than the sum of his parts. Charming and seductive, there is a warmth to him that proves particularly appealing, a playful nature that tempts towards reckless decisions and actions. Yet should one pay heed, they would note that for all that might be encouraged, Cirdan remains in control of his own passions, a cool mastery of self underlying the laughter and smiles. It comes to the fore when duty calls and his mind, long since grown expert in matters of diplomacy and law, is on full display. Thus are remarkable insight and sharp intelligence revealed and, rather than conflict with the charmer of before, serve to elevate him. Neither one nor the other, but both, as befits the dual nature of Halfshav.
