  Early on in his life, Javarn had developed a sense of hunger for adventure, always wanting get out and see the world, despite his families wishes. When a brutal battle and the loss of many good friends broke him in recent years, the Knight has steeled himself against the cruel, harsh realities of the world. Still, much of that dreamy-eyed sense of adventure compels him forward. Most days, if Javarn isn't sitting and enjoying a good book, or training diligently to better prepare himself for battle, he is on the move, leading the soldiers of Leary Army in patrols.

• Sonnet  + (Earnest and a little intense, coupled with …
  Earnest and a little intense, coupled with the wild look in her eye, Sonnet comes off as anything but sane. Spontaneous, her emotions would mark her as mercurial but even storms spin up to less ferocity in so short a time. It's impossible to find where her loyalties lie and where they truth, but one thing is certain: when Sonnet sets herself to a goal, she works for it until she can't, or until something more interesting comes along to steal her attention. Seems like the kind of person that will always have a bit of rope and a sharp edge or two on her, somewhere.

• Damon Wyrmguard  + (Easy going, with a sharp mind, Damon cross …
  Easy going, with a sharp mind, Damon crosses many social lines, easily accessible to a wide variety of person. He's well learned in many subjects, and eagerly tries to involve anyone he meets in a great discussion, debate, or simply dazzle them with his mind. While he can fight, he finds it tedious, preferring to read and study, his mind too quick for the rigors of battle. Many find it hard to hate the man, but don't understand why someone so naturally good with a blade would prefer to read a story, or learn about ancient history. He always has a kind word, and tries to find the good in people, and doesn't -try- to make someone feel stupid and unlearned. He just doesn't always understand that very few are as well read.

• Jayanthi Hawkeye  + (Eccentric is one word that would describe …
  Eccentric is one word that would describe Jayanthi. She is whimsical and impulsive, always interested in the weirdest of things. Sometimes she will go on for hours about a rock she found that looks just like a God or something like that. She tells the tallest of tales and always seems to have a kind word for someone. Family, friends, and the things she holds dear is important to Jayanthi. She will also stop talking at random moments and start doing something artsy because 'inspiration hit.' It is very rare for Jayanthi to lose her temper.

• Amanthir Hale  + (Eccentric until circumstances dictate othe …
  Eccentric until circumstances dictate otherwise, the man can often be heard singing and whistling as he wanders the roads and woods surrounding Acorn Hill. Fiercely loyal to the farmers and merchants who have made Oakhaven their home. Always prepared to lend aid to those in need. Known for having an appetite for fine foods, hard liquors, and cheap women. Superstitious and knowledgeable of regional myths and legends.

• Ectorion Valardin  + (Ectorion is serious, sober and sincere, an …
  Ectorion is serious, sober and sincere, and strives to epitomize the knightly virtue to which he was raised. He has sometimes been accused of brooding, but in truth, he is a man who does not feel the need to fill each passing moment with random conversation and chatter. As content to sit in silence as to converse, it does not hinder his ability to maintain conversation when engaged. His study of engineering has given him a penchant for looking at things in an often quite different fashion, and he is known to make strange observations from time to time in a verbal shorthand that often leaves people unclear as to what he means.

• Edain Valardin  + (Edain is honorable, loyal, chaste, mercifu …
  Edain is honorable, loyal, chaste, merciful, honest and valorous. In short he is everything that a noble knight of the Valardin should be. He is bold and commanding, and he is a good leader of men in battle. His problem is that while he is a capable leader, he is a better follower. He was not only content, but indeed preferred that he was far from the line of succession and he just had to be the greatest knight he could be. Now that leadership is thrust upon him he is proud to bear it, and does his best to inspire confidence in his people. He feels out of his element forced to deal with the courts he has avoided for so long. He is well aware of his shortcoming, but he also knows full well he cannot afford to be seen as nothing more than a mouthpiece for his advisor's agenda. So he tries his best to keep his head above water on a battlefield where he can't just smite his opponents with a sword. It's a work in progress.

• Eddard Clement  + (Eddard is a man easily driven to joviality …
  Eddard is a man easily driven to joviality. Wine goes with lunch and dinner and white wine with breakfast. Something drives him to stand up and be taken notice of, to sing and draw a crowds attention. A people pleaser, if people pleasing involved making up tawdry bar songs to hopefully get people to sing along with. Having hard work for him is a very good way to make him scarce.

• Miraj Champagne  + (Effortlessly flirtatious and charming even …
  Effortlessly flirtatious and charming even on her worst days, Miraj can always find the silver lining on any cloud - or the delightful scandal. Prone to bouts of whimsy that some may mistake is naivety at first, she is at least never boring. Making friends and alliances easily, she is the epitome of a rising Courtesan and eager to make a name for herself.

• Egon Maw  + (Egon Maw is a wall: nothing seems able to …
  Egon Maw is a wall: nothing seems able to breach whatever defenses he has set up for himself. Dour and almost irrevocably cynical, he seems more an old man disappointed with life rather than the still burgeoning youth that he is. Yet, it is hardly overt. Everything about him seems vague and unformed as if there might be something more that's hidden just beneath the surface, or perhaps nothing at all.

• Eirlys Greenmarch  + (Eirlys seems to have an instinctive sense …
  Eirlys seems to have an instinctive sense for social cues and rarely seems to be out of place in her surroundings despite being both young and a prodigal. Rarely reserved, she's outgoing in nature and generally wears a smile on her face. Sweet and caring, she is nonetheless fiercely loyal to her family.

• Elara Helios  + (Elara was one a warm, smiling, and jovial …
  Elara was one a warm, smiling, and jovial woman. But death and loss and betrayal have turned her grim, remote, and some would say even cold or cruel. The loss of two husbands in her short life has left her bitter. She hides her grief behind a cold demeanor. Occasionally the hard mask slips and a glimmer of the bright and beautiful soul can be seen.

  Eliana is a clutz and is completely cursed in the kitchen. She can be a danger to those around her just due to the fact that she might trip on something and cause a catastrophic cascade of bad luck occurring around her. Beware! Yet despite her short-comings and her horrible bad luck, she has a bright personality, hopeful and eager. She's very naive it seems, not very street smart, yet is eager to please and make people happy. When those around her are pleased or happy with her, it's the greatest gift she could receive. Could be due to the fact that she's a walking bad luck totem, and people rarely praise her.

• Elio Tortorici  + (Elio is man of subtly. He is not stoic by …
  Elio is man of subtly. He is not stoic by any means, but is not one to be overt in his strong reactions and knows the benefit of keeping his cards close to his chest. He is still friendly and easy to smile and joke, keen to maintaining decorum when needed and able to let loose when not. Inquisitive by nature he also is not in possession of the best sense of patience and would much rather do than plan.

• Elizabetha Grayson  + (Elizabetha's sunny eyes and smile conceal …
  Elizabetha's sunny eyes and smile conceal no artifice. With a flair for dramatics, she is, at the surface, unsubtly whimsical and inclined to showmanship. She exaggerates, she embellishes, and can play up any facade. The moments of quiet are what draw out something beneath the vim and verve, a depth of artistic thought and pragmatic romanticism. To many, her affinity for numbers and academic rigor strikes as a surprise, reflected in her infatuation with alchemy.

• Elloise Leary  + (Elloise is smart. Like, beyond smart. She …
  Elloise is smart. Like, beyond smart. She is so smart that she tends to see the world from an entirely different perspective than the average person and this causes her to come across as a bit off-beat at times. She will pick up on connections and patterns that escape most people's notice and it's not an infrequent thing for her to completely detour a conversation because of a random thought she's had. Elly is very excited about learning and discovering new things and this bubbly and chipper enthusiasm lends her an adorable charm that keeps her from becoming an outcast. She is mostly a good egg although sometimes she gets blinded by the drive to discover. When that happens, she can slip into moral grey areas. Oops! She's, like, 76.156% good egg and 23.844% bad egg. Elly could provide a more accurate measurement but she'd need to run some tests to figure it out. Although very intelligent, she can be oblivious in social settings (that doesn't mean she doesn't love parties though; they are their own kind of experiment -- sooo interesting) and is utterly without guile, making her vulnerable to those who might wish to manipulate this blind spot of hers.

  Elonso is very easy to talk to. It's his personal warmth. He's genuinely interested in people, in what they have to say, in their visions and dreams for the future. He has a knack for insinuating himself in many different kinds of company, and it's probably his sincerity that is his best trait. Many Lycenes banter with wit and words, and he can do that, but he doesn't have a vested interest in proving himself cleverer than anybody; for one thing, he privately already knows that he is, but for another, proving your superiority is no way to make friends. He loses games of oneupsmanship happily. He loses most games happily and with equanimity, from chess to poker, watching the reactions of his opponents and buying them friendly drinks afterwards. As a flirt, he is elusive and mysterious but intimate, with a heart-melting wink that he'll share at a moment's glance when nobody but you is looking. As a friend, he is ready with an ear and a glass of fine wine to listen to any problem and he'll laugh at any joke. As an enemy, he ... why, who could possibly have Elonso Pravus for an enemy? He's just so likeable.

  Elpenor is very laid back. He can be very casual and informal even to the point of allowing soldiers under his command to use an informal nickname in place of his rank. He often makes jokes and quips much to the dismay of his enemies and sometimes even his own comrades. The only time he every gets angry is when he is dealing with slavers or slave owners. He does not show mercy to them.

• Elrych Holzfahller  + (Elrych is quiet and serious. While not wit …
  Elrych is quiet and serious. While not without morals and a conscious, he follows orders and lives to be on the battlefield. He speaks only when he feels it it important and is not one for idle conversation usually. He longs one day to be granted land in the Oathlands and perhaps settle down. However, his stoic demeanor and seemingly harsh warrior mentality leave him hard pressed to form any lasting relationship... especially with his occupation. He takes pride in both his heritage and his service to the Lyonesse.

• Elyse Crown  + (Elyse is cheerful, sometimes to the point …
  Elyse is cheerful, sometimes to the point that she's driven people mad with her good natured laughter and always seeing the bright side of things. It's also been known to put people at ease, and cause them to grossly underestimate her. She's just as ruthless as is usually expected from someone in her position, and she's willing to do the dirtiest jobs. But always with a smile.

• Ember Redleaf  + (Ember is a vicious, mean, and without merc …
  Ember is a vicious, mean, and without mercy. She has seized authority in her barony with an ambition that has outright frightened the men around her. Sometimes a blatant flirt, she has a tendency to act a bit masculine in how she goes about behaving, since so many take her feminine figure as a sign of weakness.

  Emberly is confident and gentle, she is as gentle as a leaf, and embraces such things as music and social intrigue. She can be a great companion and knows all the rules of etiquette. Emberly is also assured in her skills as a sailor and gunsmith and has a smidgen of joy when she can help explosions happen.

  Emele finds the world around her absolutely brimming with beauty. She always was a dreamer, a woman with her head in the clouds, but transferring those dreams to canvas or to metal takes some serious work and she knows it. She's generally happy and enjoys life, finding inspiration in everything and beauty in the smallest things. How could one be sad when the world is so beautiful? She's quick to smile, quick to laugh, and quick to be inspired, but she's learned the value of hard work and focus when it's needed, and isn't shy about applying herself to make things happen.

• Emeric Redrain  + (Emeric is an entitled prince who believes …
  Emeric is an entitled prince who believes the world is for his fun. It is for romancing men and women, letting things fall as they may. Rarely does he focus on serious things, preferring to spend his time doing things that are fun. Though he'll avoid hard work or things he decides is 'boring' Emeric doesn't shrink his duties, he merely does his best to avoid situations where they are fostered upon him. Once Emeric has been given a task he will carry it through to the end, not letting it slide, unless it falls into something out of his hands. His temper is quick to set off, especially when drinking, but just as quickly he forgives. There is no fun in holding a grudge, after all.

  Emlyn is forever curious - and he thinks deeply. A subject can consume him for days, hours, weeks, unable to rest until he knows everything about it. He reads books until the spines are cracked and bent, the pages near to being all but torn out, with his own notes written about the page margins and wherever else they'll fit. He is serious, but that doesn't mean he's always serious; laughter and smiles seem to come almost easily to him when in the right setting. He is warm, kind, and eager to fit in where he can - but make no mistake, he is also very ambitious and his goals aren't easily tampered with.
  and his goals aren't easily tampered with.)
• Emma Valardin  + (Emma feels guilty over not having been the …
  Emma feels guilty over not having been there for her parents and sisters when the Tragedy happened. She rather have died with them, but she did not, and now this black stain will forever live in her chest. This is also what fuels Emma: her mercy was repaid in betrayal and violence, the Valardin slaughtered like pigs a a butcher's shop, and the fool she was died with them. In her exterior, Emma has finally arrived at the place she was always meant to be, where her parents were concerned: no longer the humble Mercy-to-be, she dresses appropriately to a Princess of Sanctum. Her countenance is impeccable and her presence in the field of battle is nothing short of inspiring. Her knights often say that having her lead them is like having Valar at their backs, and given the trail of fire Emma leaves at times, it is hard to argue the position. Although humorless when it comes to most things, Emma does have a more vulnerable side that she seldom displays, afraid of the weakness it might reveal.

  Emmelline is very socialble and amiable. she strives to bring beauty in to the world, through her arts, and often aims to please others. She is not easy to anger, and often attempts to avoid conflicts. Overall, she is very optimistic, and always attempts to see things from all perspectives, should a conflict arise.

• Haizea Malespero  + (Emotionally labile as the wind blows. Haiz …
  Emotionally labile as the wind blows. Haizea was always one to feel intensely across the spectrum, whether in delight or misery. Age has tempered this to an extent, and she the rest she insulates in the plush confines of decency and generously given smiles. But a charmer Haizea is not. Much of her freewheeling Bravuran attitudes were beaten comatose following the decimation of her former house, leaving in their wake a moody, plain-spoken and often confrontational disposition that lurks beneath her composure.

  Enigmatic, experienced, wise: Manox has become the mirror image of the man who trained him in the arts and sciences. Where they diverge is on the concepts for romance, courtly matters, and war. He's a moderate in most measures, a social drinker, and keeps a very tight grip on secrets, both those discovered and shared with him. If there's ambition to be found, it may be beneath several layers of otherwise-inscrutable quirks, proof of his careful displays of personality.

  Enoch, due to his rough past, has a hard exterior and can often come off as cold or insensitive. However, to those who know him best? He's actually an extremely caring and loyal individual. Though he has a habit of only showing warmth to his friends, he's not quite boisterous and tends to be serious more often than not. He enjoys a more grim and subtle sense of humor, often using sarcasm and wit in serious situations to help keep up morale. He's impossibly stubborn, and alas, has a unhealthy habit of taking tremendous and dangerous risks with no regard for himself.

• Arielle Rivera  + (Enthusiastic is the best way to describe A …
  Enthusiastic is the best way to describe Arielle Rivera's demeanor most days. She is a cheerful sort by nature and one who despises the very thought of giving up. Despite being vain and proud of her appearance she still tries to use those traits for something positive. Rather than simply critic others and boast about how nice she looks she focuses on trying to help others look nice. Her mentality is very much 'if I don't like something if going to try and fix it' she does occasionally gripe though, no one is perfect. But she makes a concentrated effort to stay productive and positive.

  Enya acts like a stereotypical old crazy woman. Consistently speaking in broken sentences, losing her train of thought, and occasionally making no sense at all. However, despite all of this, she surprises from time to time with revelations only possible with the sharpest attention, focus, and wisdom.

• Ephraim Mercier  + (Ephraim is and has always been an outgoing …
  Ephraim is and has always been an outgoing and adventurous man with a quick wit and barbed tongue. He is well known for his archery, his temper, and his keen intellect, all of which made him popular back at home and wherever he happened to travel. He's intent on trying everything at least once, and this curiosity has led him to do everything from direct a play to fighting for mercenary company in Lenosia. His skills in tracking, animal empathy, and stealth have made him uniquely gifted in his wanderlust and he has capitalized on them on more than a few occasions. Though on the surface he is a carefree spirit, Ephraim is also a very intelligent man: he did well in his studies when he didn't grow bored and abandon them. He is very well versed in the subjects which interest him, and opinionated as well.

• Ephrath Drake  + (Ephrath is not a shy woman, but she is a r …
  Ephrath is not a shy woman, but she is a reserved one. She simply withholds her thoughts and her exuberance for the right time; right place; right people. While she can be very focused, intent, and excitable over certain things -- such as her craft -- she is the utter opposite when it comes to everything else in that she can be cold, distant, and even flippant about things that do not interest her. When she is in her element, comfortable, and interested it may be nigh impossible to shut her up, but if she doesn't care about something it is equally likely that she'll simply change topics as it is she'll wander off.

  Equipped with a dark sense of humor and penchant for sepulchral poetry, Narcissa gets a bad rap as a pessimist. If one were to ask her, she'd remark that she's a realist tarrying on the tendency of the dismal. She is not without her joys nor does she shun happiness, but her tastes do leave her regarded as perculiar and quirky outside of her closeknit circle of acquaintances. Narcissa is more at home with her books than she would ever be in a crowd, an introvert to the core.

• Erik Grimhall  + (Erik Grimhall has a somewhat reserved pers …
  Erik Grimhall has a somewhat reserved personality for one born and raised in the Isles. He is a thoughtful man, an intellectual despite pressure from the family to put his books aside and focus on sailing and fighting. It is likely that fact, that among his kin his true interests were often mocked in his youth, which makes him careful to open up to new people. Once one gets him talking on a topic of interest however, he can go on for hours and hours on end. He believes that House Grimhall, and perhaps the Islanders in general, would benefit from education that goes beyond the basics. He does not hide these interests any longer but embraces them, associating with intellectual and scholarly pursuits whenever possible. He's also a charming man and well aware of it, flirtatious at times when someone captures his interest, though beauty alone never seems to do so.

• Erika Blackwood  + (Erika is a wild, passionate woman, whose e …
  Erika is a wild, passionate woman, whose emotions can range from the extremes of fiery joy to icy indifference. She's stubborn and determined, and has a deep affinity for the wilds and its animals. While she enjoys the company of people, she also feels most at home amongst the trees of the forests and peaks of the snowy Northern mountains, where she spent so much time with her father. Despite her loss, she's free spirited, full of life and vigour, and enjoys her drink and wry humour. Fiercely loyal, she stands to fight for those she loves, making up for not being there when she was most need. Harbouring a sense of guilt and anguish, and a deep hatred for the Heralds, Brand, and his Bringers, Erika would tear the mountains apart with her bare hands to protect those who can't protect themselves, and avenge those already lost.

  Eris is not one for pretty words or flowery language, and can often be described by those who meet her as taciturn and abrupt. Polite and exceptionally kind for a seemingly brusque woman, Eris prides herself both on her prowess on the field and her dedication and loyalty. Her thoughts are generally a closed book to most, rendering her a woman of few words.

  Eshra is fiercely protective of her people, seeing it as her job to make sure the old ways are not forgotten now that they've joined the Compact. Voice to her people, she is conscious on how all eyes view the newest House under the Greenmarch mantle. She will not let others insult her prodigal heritage or discount the contributions that Rivenshari bring with their knowledge of the sailing and connection to the spirits.

  Eskander is a friendly, outgoing young man with a ready smile and always seems to have the right answer or a quip. He does his best to accomodate (reasonable) requests made of him and always seems prepared to offer his expertise or advice on a great many matters. These can range from the delicate to the common. From how to apologize without losing face to what decorations one ought to use at the next ball or party, he can do it. He never seems to ask for much in return, but he will remind you, in so many words, that he's done you a favor - and perhaps he might want one in return some day.

  Esme is a vibrant woman who has always marched to the beat of her own drummer among the throngs of Fidante cousins in the city of Tor. It is not that she is so vastly different from the others but her approach and her genuine enthusiasm stands out like a sunflower in a field of green. She has an easy going and carefree spirit about her that only adds to her effervescent aura. Her love of Limerance and all things courtly love should not be mistaken for one who stops to smell the roses and forgets about honor and duty. Esme is devoted to all things she is most passionate about; Her family, being a Devotion of Limerance, and of course leading the Calvary of Roses. Her love of horses is something Esme says has been in her blood since birth. Esme is a levelheaded woman who thinks first and acts second unless of course some sort of external force threatens those things which are sacred to her.

  Esoka is a hothead with a fierce attachment to her own dignity. She takes failures personally and struggles to build herself up each time she falls. A perfectionist with a chip on her shoulder, she sometimes creates more problems for herself with her insecurity than she can solve with her confidence. With that said, there is nothing to be found wanting with her courage, her integrity, or her interest in duty. She cares passionately about her people, and when her heart is given, she loves whole-heartedly and with a fierce, romantic idealism. Intensely organized, it drives Esoka nuts when things -- or people -- are out of order, and she has an overwhelming desire to just FIX IT when things are somehow out of alignment -- this happens in relationships as well as just objects in rooms she happens to be in.

  Esra is a kind and honest man well aware that he lives in an unkind and dishonest world. His drive is curiosity and a desire to seek out the knowledge that can make the world a better (or at least better understood) place. Part scholar, part investigator, part spy, healer, unofficial emissary, and survivor, he serves the ideals of the gods in his own unique way. He sees no paradox in that, or in the idea that sometimes honesty and good are best served by a carefully chosen deception. To Esra the need to better the world through uncovering knowledge will always be what lights the way.

  Estaban is a man of many mysteries but it is no mystery that he has a soft spot for his family, especially his younger sisters whom he is greatly protective of. He helped foster his sister's sense of adventure by dragging them out of the house and helping to spoil their curiosity. He offers them wisdom which can come as tough love but he is always adoring of them and is just as gentle as he is firm with them. Sometimes Estaban is quiet and observant but he can also be charming and flirtatious. He puts his own happiness aside for his family, making sure that they are taken care of first. For his adored sister Arcelia he is a fierce guard, for his mother a loving son, and for his father an honorable warrior. Estaban is a fan of sailing, adventuring, hunting, drinking games, and being a brat to each and every member of his family, Saik and Malvici alike.

  Estil is a decently good woman. She believes in what she does, in the strength of Navegant and her family. She is kind when she can be, but harsh when she needs to be, and gentle when she wants to be. The very essence of what makes a good matriarch of a family, fair, but stern. In this she takes after her father, not exactly approving of her younger brother's hesitancy of taking up the reigns of leadership or her younger sister trying to play soldier or Sword, but accepts the fact that at least if they're happy, so is she. While she displays a hefty amount of experience in the political arena, a passion of her's is history. Theology, the occult, linguistics, anything that can be learned, she wishes to learn. She cannot carry a sword, but knowledge can be, if not more, just as powerful.

  Eternally vigilant, eternally watchful. The patience and calculating mind of an old soul combined with boundless wonder.

  Evaristo is the kind of jerk people love or people love to hate - there is no in between. His time away from land and in the company of men who care little for conventional morality or politeness has ingrained him with an innate ability to not care how others view him unless it directly interferes with his wants or lifestyle. On the rare occasion it -does-, he can be surprisingly smart and charming, and somehow make it seem natural. Those who aren't fooled usually punch him. Or try to kill him. It's usually dependent on whether or not there are any sharp objects nearby.

  Evelin is a dazzling woman, full of life and energy. Sultry, wry and eccentric, she's all charm, and eager to show off. She's a proud woman, reminiscent of a stunning bird, which comes through when she performs. She's endearing most of the time, eager to please and kind hearted, and is prone to loneliness. She can almost always be found amongst peers, giggling and gushing. Though one shouldn't be fooled by her airy appearance. She's frightfully intelligent, always aware of her surroundings even if she says otherwise. Her determination can be downright terrifying at times, and her tantrums are equally paling. Growing up extremely poor also makes her rather streetwise, and while she's right at home in the shady Lower Boroughs, she mingles seamlessly with nobility, with a deep appreciation of all things beautiful.

  Everard decided long ago that being truly noble, honorable, and virtuous does not mean one has to be -boring-. He truly believes that the virtuous life is the way to go, kind to the less fortunate, defending the defenseless. He simply realizes that life is fantastic in so many ways, it should be lived. His laughs come easily as he encourages his men, and interacts with the commons. He enjoys new people, regardless of station, even if he is confident in the stations of people. His charm is one that makes people want to be better, rather than through a spirit of manipulation. A firm believer in justice, and the system of rule in Arx, Everard has little patience for miscreants and those that seek to do harm to others, but he is never cruel in his actions. He is decisive, quick witted, and above all, a good man.

  Every man has a code, whether they are aware of it or not; the things they weigh their choices by and how they justify their actions. Some hinge on honor, some on personal gain. Rowan's code is that of the Natural Order. Between morality and conscience, he is a man who rarely seems troubled, and when he is, it does not last for long. He is much like the wilds, rough around the edges, unexpected changes in terrain, with much to be found and foraged. His temperament can be unpredictable, a mirror of the weather, as capable of calm tranquility as it is raging violence. For all it is hoped he will one day be a wise old shaman, he hasn't yet become as sagacious as his family would no doubt like.

But Branimir's personality trends towards the jovial, he has seen and survived enough to know one should drink deep from the cup of life at every opportunity. While many of the younger reavers who are sworn to Eswynd regard their new liege with suspicion, Branimir sees the potential in this relationship and counsels his nephews to strengthen their ties with Thrax and the Mourning Isles.

  Everything's smiles, until it's not. Sydney tends to give even the most openly hostile a chance to work their way past her first impression of them. As a result, those she counts as friends come from all walks of life, something she prides herself on. She's fiercely loyal to those that endear themselves to her, and nothing incites her anger faster than injustices or hostilities aimed at those she calls friends. With a mixed upbringing, she's been known to adjust her manner of speaking depending on who she's talking to and where she's talking to them - and that's to say nothing of the stark difference in the way she writes and the way she speaks. Sydney tends to wade into situations headlong, a devil-may-care grin on her face, and if it bites her in the ass, she corrects it. She's not above making an ass of herself on things she thinks might work. Pride is cheap. Results are priceless. She's not prone to overlong bouts of wallowing, even with the bad coinflip that life's thrown her way thus far. That's time better spent on making her future a brighter thing, one step at a time, even if the path is arduous and winding.

  Evonleigh's personality is a mercurial one, depending on her mood and her intentions. A natural actress, it's hard to tell when the charm is sincere and when it is feigned. At either rate, Evonleigh's charm is very rarely the sweet and evanescent sort, but rather one with a sharper edge. She doesn't fawn but instead banters; she doesn't giggle, but smirks. She's a bit cynical but has a good heart despite her somewhat sardonic outlook on the world. From time to time, her mood grows melancholy or her temper flares, but it seems to pass quickly enough, like the a cloud passing the sun in an otherwise clear sky. She often wears a mask, metaphorically speaking, but when she lets herself feel, it is intense, no matter the emotion. Some days she's better at masking it than others.

  Ewen is serious, polite, methodical, and slow to act. He is a very good listener and tends to ask numerous questions rather than speak about himself, but he never hides his opinions or intentions when asked. Thus, while he can be subtle, he is rarely manipulative outside of the courtroom. He is unwilling to leap to judgment about anyone or anything, which sometimes may seem to betray a lack of moral clarity. But he is fundamentally trustworthy, in part because unlike most of his fellows, he has little ambition except to better understand himself and his purpose in living. He is most interested in people who seem very passionate about their goals or ideals and, when it would not be rude, he likes to subject them to rigorous questioning. He has no desire to toy with people or puncture their dreams. Instead, he sincerely hopes to find someone who inspires him to become more like that -- possessed of unshakable faith in the meaningfulness of striving -- without giving up his rigorous questioning. Whatever else, Ewen is not a nihilist and has never truly doubted that life matters. He accepts that it does; he simply wants to know why.

It serves her exceptionally well in her practices with funerary rites and working alongside the mourning.

  Extremely independent and dreadfully stubborn, stringent Thraxians gave up on trying to induce their ideals of womanhood in her ages ago. Just as happy to annoy said oppressors as to go her own way, depending on whom one talks to, she's been either blessed or cursed with seemingly inexhaustible energy and curiosity.

She's endlessly delighted in all the pleasures and glitter life has to offer. Bright colors! Shiny jewelry! Parties and people and oh what the world has to offer! Tessa craves and celebrates it all ignorant of consequence.

Though basically caring and decent and warm, when his patience snaps he wields snark and sarcasm like bitter daggers. He has an intuitive knack for people, which also means his social intelligence is good at helping him find weaknesses. Study and knowledge are his primary pursuits and the goal and love of his whole life, which in a universe that contains massive quantities of information lost to time and memory primes him for a life occasionally colored by staggering disappointments. He can be shy socially and also has a tendency to dither and to use a few too many words to say what could otherwise be simple.

  Fashioning himself a consummate gentleman, Castinus presents himself on the surface as a gentleman, to a fault. Courtesy and respect, perhaps in excess, belies a certain predatory cunning that exists within the ice of his eyes. Everything that he does seems to come with a practiced ease, and comfortability in ones own skin. Well-spoken and eloquent, there's still much of Castinus that he guards fiercely behind so very many honeyed words or cordial gestures. Above all, he holds those with a mind as inquisitive as his own in the highest regard. Individuals that enjoy digging deeper beyond simply shallow interests, and those that seek answers even when they aren't presented with questions first.

  Fatima takes the world in stride, for she know it will be hers one day. She hasn?t decided what that means yet, but it gives her the confidence to twist and influence those around her, to whatever end she decides that day. It?s not quite out of cruelty, but she often has trouble understanding the motivations around her, since hers tend to be so fluid. She enjoys people however, and sees the world as her very own gameboard. She can be compassionate, kind, and generous, when her motivations dictate, and she does so sincerely then. She is unafraid to use her feminine wiles, but, perhaps, does so with much more discretion than someone from another House may be. Being Thraxian, however, likely makes her better at that sort of game, since it is far more difficult to be successful and not be made to disappear.

  Feet on the ground and eyes in the sky, Rhiannon Ashford is a pragmatic, vital woman with a dreamer's desire to learn and grow. Inclined to be introspective and introverted, she is not without a warm and quiet charm of her own, but it rarely shines in moments of public spectacle. When you take the time to listen to Rhiannon, you discover that few words are wasted, and that she has an understated humor and a clear sense of the ridiculous that will help temper the dire in any situation. She is fiercely protective of her scouts and of her family, and prefers to spend as much time as possible in the trees and surrounded by nature. Rather than party by night, she'd run free through the treetops by starlight, and call that the finest time she's ever had.

  Felix is? a little bit strange. First, he's not your typical scowling, brooding Thrax man. He's mostly a jovial, almost boyish man, who loves stories. He can't get enough of stories. Simple stories, grand stories, love stories, stories of gore and grit. Any little story is a fascination to him. He gets along with people of all stripes, which, admittedly, is good for business. He likes to make friends, seeing people as a story waiting to happen rather than common or noble. He's absolutely respectful, and takes great pains to never bring shame upon his Thrax patrons, and he does occasionally think women are too pretty to get out there and fight themselves. Every weapon he sells comes with a monetary price, and one that requires people to come tell them the stories they make with it, no matter how big or small. He absolutely refuses to be taken advantage of, however, and gets? very, very angry when he is cheated. He also becomes extremely violent when someone bullies or is cruel to someone less fortunate, especially when there's no reason other than pettiness.

  Few children have been as severe as Brannen. It seemed he was always of complete understanding and acceptance of his responsibility. Driven, focused, responsible. However there is something about Brannen that separates him from most of his dour compatriots. Brannen is not one to look down upon carefree, jovial, or happy-go-lucky types. Brannen loves them, like his twin sister. However Brannen has always understood that beacons of happiness and creativity cannot fully protect themselves, he sees himself as a guardian of beauty of the world and someone has to be a little bit boring to protect such things. It might as well be Brannen. Though he is not the most charming, Brannen knows how to lead. He may not be well liked, but he is respected by those under his command. A true stalwart, Brannen may be seen by many as a dullard, though the man truly can respect a well crafted joke or prank, however he is more focused on his duty and making sure the Right Thing is done. Brannen lives his life for honor and the Gods, he is constantly prepared to make the necessary sacrifices to protect what he loves.

  Few nobles in the current days of Arx can comprehend the true gravitas of the old nobility. Niccolo seems a figure out of time, with this emotions schooled under a serious expression, never hinting at what may lay beneath. The grief of his lost wife, the anger at the circumstances behind it, all of it has been transformed into the serious and commanding nature of a truly traditional lord. Niccolo leaves the games and manipulations of charms and wit to the young, remaining perfectly courtly, refined, and utterly noble in every word and expression. Politeness comes as easily as breathing to the man, ever gentlemanly, even when another would be in the throes of violent rage. A rock that would be unruffled as arrows fall around him on the field of battle, Niccolo manages the far more reserved battlefield of courtly intrigue with seemingly trivial ease.

  Few women possess the pure sense of purpose that Isolde holds. Very little concerns her enough to cause her to second guess herself, and very little ever rattles the natural and almost pervasive calm that takes over her. When she engages in social functions, she is quick to laugh, to offer warm and kind words, occasionally laced with the understanding of the Dark Reflection (however, she's very aware of when such talk is highly inappropriate.) When she's by herself, some hints of the quiet, reserved girl come out, but only because she sees no need to manufacture interaction. She has a warm, usually kind demeanor, however serious her life path may be. It is easy for her to be friendly, even in the face of the suspicion she may face because of her calling. She shoulders the burdens, allowing them to build her confidence, rarely viewing someone else with derision.

It may take some time for her to get extremely verbose, as she is quick to calculate situations if she suddenly becomes quiet, otherwise she is a spitfire in the face of adversity. Fearless to challenges, at times she may make a choice not seen by others to be the popular one the sheep are flocking to. Not afraid to stand on her own and tread her own path.

She knows the value of a good servant and keeps an open ear and open eye--even if she doesn't tell anyone what she knows, it's important to be aware of everything going on in a house, from the latest gossip to what her ladyship wants for supper. Loyal and hardworking, she devotes herself to her employer with the doggedness one might expect of a knight swearing an oath.

When her ambitions are blocked, she has the will and intensity of an oncoming storm, and woe betide whatever stands in her way. She is passionate, fiery and energetic; she takes herself very seriously and she will be damned if everyone else doesn't as well.

  Fiery, rough around the edges, a little uncultured and uncivilized - that's Morrighan. She has impish tendencies and a love of strong liquor; by no means does she have any ladylike qualities. Sometimes she can be brash and abrasive, saying what's on her mind and often has a no-nonsense attitude. Typically sharp and quick witted, the young woman has a mouth that can at times even make a pirate blush. She usually keeps her temper in line when necessary, most of the time it's reeled in by Redrain nobility...with some measured difficulty. Morrighan will bite her tongue and play nice when she feels her actions might reflect poorly on the noble family that saved her. She's fiercely loyal to Redrain - no task is too much, and she'll readily admit that she's very protective of Prince Sherrod's family. She's not ashamed of who and what she is, and if there's a derogatory remark about her being a Prodigal? Morrighan will just give a smug looking smirk.

That drive also makes him focus on one thing to the exclusion of all other related things. If he is learning a new skill, he learns it until he has mastered it.

  For most, providing counsel and perspective to potential enemies would make someone an enemy themselves, mistrusted and suspect beyond redemption. Aldwin escapes all that, perhaps simply by sheer longevity. Few people could be as devoted to the Realm as a single entity, even beyond the King himself, than the Archscholar of Vellichor. In his eyes, every living, breathing soul has as much right to learn, grow, and succeed as any other, so all that come to him are met with unfailing kindness, wisdom, and a perspective that would not otherwise be considered. He treats young nobles as if they were his own grandchildren, and older ones, well, pretty much the same way.

  For some it can be said that they might be a wolf in sheep's clothing. For Aerwan Valardin, the more appropriate turn of phrase may be a fox in dragon's scales. Oathlander values have been instilled in the man almost to the bone: stalwart discipline, courtesy and chivalry, a sometimes stark sense of right and wrong, and a reverence for the Pantheon, like an armor forged in the principles of his forebears. While many of his family wear these traits as heavy plate, Aerwan's ingots of ideals have been refined and hammered down into a flowing mantle of steelsilk, airy and relaxed in their donning like a comfortable cloak. Yet every so often his facets of individuality glint through to tint its shades: an inclination toward idealistic naivety, an almost youthful appreciation for mirth and mischief that is reined in tightly, and a keen inquisitiveness in much of the world around him that couldn't be entirely penned up if he tried.

  For someone so young, Titus has seen far too much death and suffering. Coming of age during a great contagion that saw many stripped away from him, and constantly aware of the threats that could imperil all those he cared about, he was studious, serious, and often melancholy. The temptation to indulge in self-pity and bitterness was overcome by a fierce determination to better his people, to serve them to the best of his abilities, and to prove worthy of the sacrifices he saw his soldiers make time and again. He sees battlefield strategy as a butcher's work, grim and full of sorrow- but his talent. A tragic talent, but his nonetheless.

  For the first decade of her life, Ramona was treated differently. Most of the time, she was denied any love and affection. She was the source of a problem, even if she did not understand what it was. Yet, there were times when both "aunt" and "uncle" would shower praise and affection on her - always behind closed doors, usually while said guardians were drunk. And so it was that Ramona learned of human emotions. They make no sense and there's no reason to dwell on them. Instead, she focused on the empirical. She focused on rules, on logic, on science, on knowledge. To say she was awkward, well. She never felt awkward, even as she broke social norms, or missed social queues, or otherwise acted weird. But she sure made other people feel awkward, and got herself removed from parties, sent to her dorm room, and otherwise excluded. But that's no matter! She remains upbeat, happy, pleasant, and even adorable, time to time. She speaks honestly and candidly. She lives in her own world, so long as no one yells at her about doing something "wrong". Through knowledge, life is easy.

She can be ruthless as well as reckless in the crunch, a woman who recognizes the need to get the job done and will do it, but her code of honor is the bedrock on which her entire self is built, and is wholly unshakable. She is not a woman of no smiles, but a woman of rare ones, and all those that come to her must be true and real, for there is no deception in her.

Her sense of humor is dry and sharp, and she is unafraid to scathe when necessary. She is a doer, not a prepper; she would always rather take an action than wait, once there is enough information for a plan to be formed. She's not reckless or foolish, but she is 200% done with an abundance of caution. This brings her into frequent clashes with her husband the detail-oriented. Restless energy drives her towards action and decision. She has a practical, no-nonsense approach to a number of things in life, and tends to rain on the parades of the sentimental and idealistic.

He has other notable talents, too: he is an expert researcher with talent for turning up facts (admittedly usually linked to his business interests). He is a skilled violinist and enjoys fashion.

  From an early age, Yael was taught to keep quiet, keep out of the way, keep head down... and oddly, to keep her hair fluffed out. For the daughter of a noble, it was rather odd to be taught to not be seen, to not be noticed. It left Yael with conflicting feelings: with a desire constantly to excel and get noticed, while also following the instructions of her parents. Instructions that could be drilled in with physical force or carefully honed, sharp words if the lessons weren't received well. As she aged, Yael began to understand some of these ideas better, began to understand the whys that little children aren't able to comprehend. And so her acting grew better.

  From the time she learned to say the word 'no', Glenys has been a stubborn thing, determined not so much to have her own way in things as to not allow anyone else's way supersede her own. This same trait that caused her family such vexation in her youth hasn't mellowed a bit, but only deepened into well-honed willfulness. Despite, or maybe because, of this stubbornness, she's also intelligent with a whipcrack sort of wit and a sense of mischief that gets her into all sorts of nonsense. Even deeper than that lies a heart that is just as stubborn. She's not the sort that will let it stray once it has a star to fix itself upon.

  From watchful reserve to a ferocity that blazes, Loelai can be as hot or cold a fire as she likes. Implacable confidence and a brazen way often belie the class innate to her upbringing, but she sometimes lets its glimmer through. True friendship with her is a reach, due more to the casualness of the road than her cynicism--but when earned, her loyalty is to a fault and occasionally her detriment. A streak of brutality drives her raw approach to a fight, whether of the sword or the interpersonal, with a wit that lashes as sharp. Somewhere within it all, though, a young woman with a clarity of mind, an adventure at heart, and hope for an unknowable solace burns bright.

  Full of energy and wonder for the world, it is all the more challenging for this bon vivant to assume the role of a properly meek and demure Thraxian noblewoman. The struggle is real, and it often shows in subconscious gestures of restlessness or barely leashed emotions. Thoughtful compassion battles with the uncanny pragmatism of her household, but loyalty to her family commonly wins out. She holds few ambitions beyond inspiration for new art and acclaim from her peers, happy to merely enjoy life as a redundant daughter of nobility and gifted prodigy of the arts.

Her smiles, though rare, are warm and sweet - growing in frequency as she finds her feet.

  Galen is a strong man with a strong personality. He's headstrong when he knows he's in the right, and he is an independent thinker. He'll listen to other people but he's adamant about making his own decisions. He is brave and bold and forthright, but where on others this might come across as bossy and rude, Galen is charming and friendly. He is a civilized man, a man of refined tastes - and a dashing moustache - who is very concerned with doing things the proper way. Like reasonable people. He is still a Prince of Thrax, believing that men should be raised to be strong and warlike, but allowing women to learn to fight and carry arms and lead forces and sail isn't upsetting to him either.

  Gareth is a man who has little time or energy for beating around a bush. Well, unless a person is tied to that bush and under suspicion of consorting with demons. He is relentless in the pursuit of truth, and to wipe the scourge of darkness from the face of Arvum. For all his fierce and sometimes violent acts in the name of the Inquisition, he gets no joy out of it. It is a duty, a necessity, and not one to revel in. He sees people on the street and catalogues them in their minds, how he would extract information, and what their sins may be. Most people stay away, simply because his scarred body is intimidating. He uses their fear when he must, and hardens his heart to keep him strong. Perhaps saddest of all, he does feel joy, he can still laugh, but it takes a rare person to bring that out of the places he's buried it.

Through most of his life, he lived in self-enforced exile in the hopes that isolation would help grant him control and serenity, and never was able to forget that he could present a terrible danger to those he cared about just by being near them. He found, however, that he truly enjoys the company of others and self-imposed isolation might have been slowly driving him mad, so it was time to try a different tack. He is now determined to be a good noble, someone that can try to overcome his flaws and be a better man, and draw other people together. A man willing to turn the other cheek if it wins compromise and solidarity, he's a natural peacemaker- it wouldn't be urbane and cosmopolitan to say he views it as keeping the peace in a wolfpack, but it's how he thinks.

Likes to spend most of her time lying in the sun or in bed, with or without that week's girlfriend, sipping rum and occasionally playing a tune or two. That said, when she does get serious, she commits. Her playful and laid-back demeanor is quickly replaced with a focused, no-nonsense attitude, and the jokes and come-ons cease until the task at hand is dealt with - and then she's right back to getting drunk and laughing, like someone flipped a switch on her back.

She can typically be found sulking against a tree somewhere, staring morosely into the distance, or complaining how fast the time flies and how life used to be so much simpler when she was a tree. The working theory is that the woman might be off her rocker. Hardly ever happy, and even when she is, she's still sardonic and a bit cynical. Ironically, Helle actually seems to enjoy being gloomy to an extent and sees it as the essence of her very being. Nevertheless, she seems genuinely appreciative of the effort her friends put forth to cheer her up and does her best to be a true friend in return.

  Generous but not necessarily kind. Loving but not precisely warm. Amanda is an oddity. Often, she smiles and laughs and shows open affection, but just as often she's cool and distant. The latter speaks more to her actual persona. As a child, Amanda was quiet and withdrawn. She'd often interact with others only when it was necessary, or she had some great desire. She was more often reading or drawing or "playing" with her dolls (which included making them wait in line and scolding them for their rude behavior and impiety). But as an adult, she learned the value in socialization and how a display of empathy can be much more effective than an explanation of cold logic. It does not mean she's any less cold and logical at her core, nor does it make her caring smile fake. She simply offers to a situation what she believes is needed. After all, what's the harm of in putting on a bit of a show if it helps push someone toward acting properly and piously? Of course, those that know her closest will surely see that, outside of a necessary situation the woman is nothing if not impassive.

He has a fierce love of the North and a passionate loyalty for the men and women who have offered to lay down their lives in service, forming strong and often unbreakable bonds with those he considers his friends and allies. But for all the things Geralt is, there are many things he isn't - and one of those things is charming.

  Godric is dry, sardonic, and edgy. He has seen it all, man, and frankly, he's too old for this shit. An old country doctor with a slightly bad attitude but a heart of gold beneath that craggy exterior, what he hasn't seen gives him a headache; he'll take it in stride, but mysteries give him a bellyache; he's a kvetcher, a complainer, but he'll knuckle down and get it done. He badgers his patients to take care of themselves, because like many men cursed with compassion, he cares too much; he'll be rude about it because he doesn't have time to guard feelings when there's work to be done.

  Grace, elegance, energy and verve: these combine, courtier-like, in Raya. Empathetic and warm, vivacious and bright, dedicated to aesthetics and a lover of fine things, she wishes for nothing more than to grow in the eyes of the public, to be a central figure for the Faith, to be _someone_. To perform dramatically would feed her heart and soul, to expand creatively would delight her mind and hands. She wants to be loved, and she gives freely of herself.

  Graziella can be pleasant company to those around her, but there is always a certain fakeness to her niceties. It is rare for someone to grab her full attention, and those people are often intense, passionate and have something to say. Life is short and there is an unsatiable craving within Graziella to live it in non-ordinary fashion, even if it might make it shorter. She will always bring a book to the Assembly of Peers and in general parties in Arx are not to her liking. At her best Graziella enjoys a little bit of chaos and bite to things, at her worst she is self-destructive in her pursuit of something that makes her feel alive. Her family is a particular subject. She loves House Pravus deeply, and their larger than life style suits her perfectly. She inserts herself in their lives like she needs to consume her relatives, learning about them as she does to anyone whom she finds interesting, but in the end Graziella is a poor servant: she often needs their succor more than she provides herself. For some reason the woman cannot help but want to fill a void, and although she can control herself, the wyrm within her cannot be held back forever.

She is friendly, and potentially hasn't ever met someone that she wasn't willing to talk to, whether she likes them or not. But in contrast to that, she is capable of silence as well given the right circumstances, and doesn't seem to need to fill the air with chatter when the time is not right. Thoughtful and careful with words more often than not, but at the same time unafraid to speak up in defense of self, others, or a cause she finds dear. Enyo is also a person who can shift easily between warmth and kindness to cool aloofness given the situation. And when she is particularly riled she also possesses a stubborn streak that often gives itself with a set of her jaw or a sardonic lift of her an eyebrow.

This isn't to say that he is a manipulative bastard, but it does help him with talking people around to see things from other points of views, getting everyone on the same page, and generally making progress.

  Grievously wounded by war and irretrievably soured by betrayal, there are few who would count Miriemi amongst their friends. Long days of begging for coins on the streets have done little to restore her faith in the human race.

  Griffin is someone who was never meant for battle, but only found that out the hard way. The things he did and saw in the conflict over Redreef Shores haunt him. Rather than forging him into a soldier, his time on the battlefield ruptured his sense of self. He still holds on to his old passions: art, music, painting, literature, and most especially poetry, and possesses an endless curiosity for stories, tales, and legends.

  Grim and brooding, Lothar is a man given to long silences and bleak reflection, few words and swift action preferred over what he considers to be useless small talk. Cityfolk meeting him for the first time might be struck by his near-complete lack of consideration for manners or etiquette, and a sense of humor that is best described as black and belonging to the gallows. Beneath the surface, he's a man that has nearly been crushed by the weight of the loss and pain he has had to endure in his life, and yet there's a fiery core that refuses to be quenched. Hand in hand is a deeply egalitarian perspective that drives him to help those who can't help themselves, and those who suffer most find him to be surprisingly kind and empathetic despite his gruff exterior.

  Grim determination is the core of the man. Where once there was a man who loved life and all parts of it, content with what the Gods had graced him with there is now a man that has given himself over wholly to the Gods. There are still bits and pieces of the old man in there, a man with a ready smile, who loved to laugh, and who didn't take himself to seriously but they are harder to find now, only showing up amongst those he is close to. The loss of his entire life has created a great emptyness within him that he has filled with Faith and the word of the Gods but there is a part of him that is still empty, that the Gods alone cannot fill. He has learned to live with it, but it bothers him that Faith is not entirely, wholly, enough. Maybe one day he will find what fills that empty space again. Perhaps.

  Growing up under the domineering influence of a powerful parental figure has left Valerian under-equipped where the real world is concerned. Social anxiety leaves him fussy and bashful; he experiences spikes of fear when plunging into unfamiliar situations, and for him, almost all situations are unfamiliar! Accustomed as he is to the quiet sanctuary of the seaside estate of his childhood, chaos is by far his greatest obstacle. Those select few individuals fortuitous enough to get close to Valerian discover in him a loyal and deeply affectionate friend. Valerian's sensitive nature allows him unique insights into the inner lives of those he cares about. At the same time, anyone who has earned his trust finds out that the reticent young man, who can barely be induced to say a few words upon first meeting, sometimes won't stop asking questions. An omnivorous consumer of knowledge, he's interested in whatever his friends are interested in, and will talk late into the night about literally any subject!

  Gruff and aloof, Cai is a man who prefers the great outdoors to confines of city life. A man of means, anything he's needed, he's done by barter and trading, living off nature and the woods. While he might be rough around the edges and having to live in a city has done nothing for that, he's at the very least someone dependable, even if most of his opinions are laced with a certain degree of sarcasm.

  Gruff and swaggering, always ready with a sarcastic joke or for another drink, Naomi is, on the surface, one of the guys. She was her best self in the days when she was calling herself Nathan, and she's more comfortable in that masculine role now, compensating for her sex by being more of a man than most of the men around her. Like most from the Isles, she hides her sense of failure and her insecurities behind thick armor, and has a hard time letting people in. Those insecurities are slowly devouring her from within; she thinks she has a lot to prove, and might go as far as to take suicidal risks just for a chance to redeem herself... even if she dies doing it.

  Gruff, rough and tumble, cynical: Salvatore was never a particularly typical Lycene gentleman. He is not entirely without subtlety. Rather, he possesses enough of it to know when it is appropriate to dispense with it and when it is not. War and blood and death have marked him repeatedly, and trust is not a commodity with which he is hasty. The soft gooey center at the middle of this hard candy shell is, of course, his love for his daughter and his deep need to provide for his family.

  Gruff, short-tempered, and utterly devoted to his craft, Dag sometimes has a hard time building relationships; a fact that doesn't seem to bother him overly much. That said, if someone does manage to crack through his stern exterior, he's loyal to a fault and always willing to lend a helping hand; even if his help tends to come with a liberal dusting of insults and muttered curses. More stubborn than a mule, Dag never compromises his values or ideals, which has often led to friendship-ending fights or trouble with those in possession of misplaced authority. Perhaps the brightest spark in Dag's generally pretty rocky personality is his absolute love for his craft. On the rare few times the man ever really cracks a smile, it's usually caused by genuine praise for his work or appreciation of another's.

  Gustave is the very incarnation of the Blackram folk hero: a practical, unassuming, and laconic counterweight to the chivalrous ideals of the Valardin lieges. Often mistaken for an overlarge squire or a chronically misplaced serf, Gustave has done little to dissuade others from their preconceptions. This should not be confused for reservation or a lack of social grace: he simply allows others who want to fill gaps in conversation do so out of personal preference and to better know the situation at hand. He approaches life as a counterpuncher: a mild and pleasant figure all too quickly turning into an avalanche of activity and purpose at the right stimulus. Whether it be in cleaning up the messes of others or to take advantage of an overstepping rival, Gustave is a creature of extremes: he destroys or he lives and let live.

  Gwenys is a warrior in the garbings of a knight. She guards her honor and she fights evil, but any pretenses of etiquette and decorum are incidental at best with the young woman. In most other respects, one would be excused to think she is a very, very bad Princess. Gwenys is free-spirited and bold, always in motion, and can't last a full sermon of the Faith without passing out or groaning about how long the thing is. If anyone is tending to a broken arm during a family feast it will most likely be her. Uncomfortable in the halls of power, be it in Sanctum or Arx, her favorite ambiences are out in the open fields of the Oathlands, and although she may be caught wearing a dress, Gwenys is never without her sword.

Despite this, she has no desire to travel any more, preferring to stay to areas that feel comfortable and familiar when left to her own devices. She wants her crafts to be recognized, but she prefers to keep herself out of the spotlight. She's an independent young woman with a ready smile for new acquaintances, but she's also a conversational chameleon; as time goes on, she tends to find herself mimicing some of the speech patterns and mannerisms of those she's interacting with.

He trends strongly to quiet reserve with a long-boiling sort of temper that is quite dangerous when it explodes. He is fiercely loyal with an unwavering sense of duty, but his high standards of behavior make him unforgiving to those who fall short, and his judgment of others can come swift and harsh.

His sense of humor is, to put it politely, "inappropriate". He's also prone to laughter at jokes only he understands. For all of his frustrating qualities, however, one thing cannot be denied: His spark of genius is more like an inferno, and his tenacity is as iron-glad as his will. No maliciousness can be attributed to him, and if his attention can be seized and focused then he's always willing to help those who ask. However, certain topics will cause him to suddenly stop talking and leave as if he just remembered the most important thing in the world seconds ago.

  Harper is aware she doesn't look like a warrior, but she is content to let her enemies make the mistake of underestimating her. What she lacks in experience she makes up for in sheer will, and an outright refusal to give up on herself and those she cares about. She is far from stoic, but keeps a level head on her shoulders and does not usually exhibit reckless behavior. In many ways she is still discovering who she is, but she has a good idea of what she does not wish to be.

  Has a really easy going personality, usually really laid back. However when he's excited or angry he can be very overpowering. Because of this trait he usually likes to lay back and listen to other people talk and think very well before talking. He also can be very annoying because he likes to joke around and not take conversations seriously. He's a jokester to a fault sometimes, and can be very annoying to deal with.

  Haven is a bit shy and reserved, but also cares a lot for her loved ones and friends. She is aware of her musical talent, but she strives to use it to make other people happy, not to brag and get any real recognition for it. Sure, she wouldn't mind being recognized for what she loves, but it is not a priority. She views the people in her life as a priority and makes it her goal to make their lives brighter, whether it is with music or her general company. She loves nice things, but will not scheme or manipulate to get them. She may be in the noble class, but she keeps the thought in her mind to never take advantage of others.

  Having seen what discipline and training can do for a military unit, Conrad makes no apologies to his units for being a relentless hardass when it comes to drilling. Off duty, the man is still stern, but mainly as an example to live up to, not as an abusive slavedriver. Not much of a drinker, Conrad prefers other diversions off-duty... thought he is fine with lightweight stuff on vacation.

  Having spent most of his teen and adult life by himself, Nabok feels more at home among pines and lakes and mountains than among fellow men. Nabok shies away from social settings, and stays quiet unless speaking is absolutely necessary. Others therefore have a tendency to see him as both a bit arrogant and dumb, even if that is not true. He has a sense of justice that could be considered admirable, and will rise to the occation if he encounters injustice, escpecially against nature and the creatures who live there.

  He doesn't want to be in Arx. The city is huge, smells of rats and urine, and sits half the world away from his home, where at any moment, a new battle could start without him. Moody and mercurial, on his better days he takes amusement in the unfamiliar world around him, showing good humor and wit. On his bad days, everything is irritating. He is comfortable with motion, and grows restless when kept still and idle.

  He is a man of rare smiles, though he is not without humor. He is simply wary, and guarded, aware that attack might come at any time, often when least expected. Despite his proclivity towards gruffness, his is a generous heart, a protector of all things innocent. He would be the last to say he is a good man, but those that know him speak of his loyalty to family, to Compact and to the gods.

  He is a pragmatic survivalist with a sense of honor, a deep respect for nature and it's gifts, and generally easy-going socially. Known to carouse at times he does have a good head on his shoulders as well and tends to avoid conflicts when he can, but isn't above it if the situation or job calls for it. He has a strong protective instinct when it comes to those he is close to, and prefers to avoid situations and jobs that are more trouble than they are worth if he can help it.
