• "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, 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.
