Appearance: She is a human and is rather petite compared to most of her race. Her head is held at a regal angle, with unruly ringlets of rich, red tresses cascading down wildly to create a luxuriant veil that sweeps past her shapely waist. A shark-tooth comb embellished with glossy pearls somewhat subdues the untamed strands, the mere beginnings of grey weaving through a few curls. Beneath airy tendrils, a minute, teardrop-shaped ruby is partly embedded in the centre of her brow, the darkly hued gem a stark contrast to the fair, creamy skin around it. Dark lashes delicately frame eyes imbued with cerulean, their usual lustre somewhat faded with age. Reddened blisters mar the pale skin of her right forearm, forming a crude escarbuncle encircled by deep gashes born of wicked claws. Her body gradually curves into a refined hourglass, the fleshier shape hinting to a past malady; in spite of this, she carries herself with ageless grace and poise.
Personality: Being born and raised in Cyrene, Melodie tends to have a rather different personality than those she surrounds herself with in recent times. She is generally warm and welcoming, though she is learning to curb that somewhat in favour of a slightly more austere terror to inspire those below her rank. She has difficulty lying, and prefers to be honest, forthright, and (unrudely) blunt whenever possible. Despite this, her training as a young child into a Lady of birth and station tends to bring out her polite, formal social graces more to the surface, while her more inappropriate humour and sassy charm is reserved for those close to her. She holds much of herself close, and is slow to truly trust any, mortal or Divine. While slowly evolving in Mhaldor, she still retains a certain gentleness and romantic heart, oft to her detriment. These opposing forces can often cause her to struggle internally, though she prefers to work through her own problems silently, or with a very few people close to her.
Being very social, Melodie is at her best around others, and enjoys engaging in intelligent conversation with her own people, as well as outsiders. The combination of this enjoyment plus her feelings of duty brings passion in her work, and makes for a very natural missionary. Duty is of utmost import to her and will push her to do things she never would do ordinarily, and her mothering (though not to the point of coddling) personality tends to come out strongly with her family and, occasionally, her proteges. She is fiercely protective of her family, her children and their offspring, whether blood or adopted, and any she would deem close to her; she would go to the edges of Oblivion to keep them safe if necessary.

Quotes:“To regret deeply is to live afresh."
"Praise the Lord of Evil if another imposes slavery upon you, that you will be broken. For true enslavement will never be chosen."
And I love too Be still, my indelible friend That love soon might end You are unbreaking And be known in its aching Though quaking Shown in this shaking Though crazy Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
Appearance: She is a beautiful siren of the northern wilds. Small and child-like, her dusky features are nonetheless lean and severe, remiss to laughter. A brilliant amber hue glimmers in the iris of her left eye, while a lone strip of black cloth hides away the sight of her right one. A myriad short waves of snow-white locks are barely long enough to spill and frame her usually unsmiling countenance, her hair worn in the boyish manner of the pixies except for one long, intricate and unblemished braid falling from her temple down to graze at her collarbone. Upon her skin sit blemishes and adornments alike, such as the badly healed mark of fangs on the side of her neck, or the number of white, glimmering scales beside her thin, uncoloured lips. The most notorious, however, is a burn scar on her left cheek in the shape of what seems to be an escarbuncle within a border. Possessor of a cold beauty and long, sharp claws for nails, no womanly charm insinuates itself to the eyes beyond the obviousness of her race.
Personality: An unlikely bard, she is very temperamental and brooding, her secluded upbringing having made of her a loner and marked her with a love for the wistful and tragic at a young age. Her swinging moods usually dictate much of how she interacts with others in any one occasion. Even on her best and most approachable, she largely remains distant with those she does not know, and specially with those she dislikes or is uninterested in. Towards the people she cares about or who attract her interest she can be very variable as well, but she struggles to be courteous and earnest in her own way, at the very least, if not always honest. Though cautious and greatly paranoid, she, like most true bards, tends to disdain morals and stringent laws, preferring the interesting and curious to the wise or proper on most occasions.
Notable friends: She treasures all those she consider actual friends equally.
Parents: None she is exceptionally attached or proud of.
Rivals/Enemies: She has a particular dislike for @Aodfionn, but otherwise does not consider him special in any manner
Faction Attitude: Art with a minute bent towards Evil.
Opposite Faction Attitude: Though the realm of Art has no directly opposing faction as such, she personally abhors the ideas of Good and Light.
Loves: Music, knowledge, absinthe, seeing the world, performing bards, her goat Ukko and her xabat Doru.
Hates: People who act with unearned familiarity or who are content with ignoring the breath and scope of the world, interruptions, selflessness, Trolls, honour, crowds, jesters,
Quotes:My blood is still red, but my heart has turned grey, a quote from one of her favourite poets, Lucaine Pyramides
And you won't understand the cause of your grief...
Full Name: Nim Windstrike (with about fifty bajillion other surnames to choose from)
Occupation: Soldier of Cyrene, follower of Lady Pandora, occasional mad scientist Age: nearly 100 omg Gender: Female Race: Siren Class: Blademaster Residence: Cyrene House: The Vashnarian Shield
Appearance: Short and generally skinny, without much in the way of stereotypical Sireni curves. In the right art style, she could be mistaken as a 'boy that might be mistaken as a girl,' especially under loose enough clothing, and given she's prone to wearing robes lately, that's a thing that could happen. Her hair and eyes are both green, the former lately edging on uncontrolled, and she has an islander's tan. Her blade, pale alloyed with an indigo grip, contrasts its wielder fairly well, though the two are just about never seen away from one another.
Personality: Cold and distant, but fairly passionate as well. She might as well be a masochist, and she has a hard time getting to know or even remembering people who aren't interested in fighting her. She's essentially a hotheaded swordmaiden. She believes in fun as her primary goal, and presumably has it. She sometimes lashes out at people, since she tends to bottle her emotions up. She's not exactly the most pleasant person ever, in spite of her generally peaceful, monkish outlook.
She believes very strongly that all strength comes from the strength of one's heart or soul, and so she generally refuses to give up regardless of the odds against her. She'll sometimes annoy people by saying "this is impossible," but that's Nimese for "this finally got interesting." This gets her killed sometimes, though since she follows a strange form of violent pacifism, not nearly as much as it could.
Notable
Friends:@Iocun (boyfriend who's suspiciously dormant when she's active and vice versa), @Syth (mentor, source of her surname), @Nellaundra (best friend who she almost never gets to see anymore), @Aerek (typical target of philosophical harassment), @Zinka (person that she can beat but it's difficult so a single spar turns into about nine thousand and seven), @Xer (taught her some of Mhaldorian philosophy, though they haven't spoke at length for decades now), and a few others Relatives: Various half-sisters she hasn't ever gotten to know well enough, and approximately all of Cyrene Parents:@Kaden Rivals/ Enemies: It's hard to imagine Nim getting an enemy, given that she tends to befriend people through violence, in the arena or out (though admittedly, few people who attack her outside the arena actually stop to talk to her) Faction Attitude: She... doesn't exactly have one. Though she does feel some loyalty toward Cyrene, she'd totally join one of the more militaristic cities as a mercenary if most of them (Ashtan excluded) weren't so specific about their divine and zealotry and generally opposed to mischief. How do you even oppose mischief and fun in a game? That's just crazy. Loves: Combat, learning, quiet contemplation, philosophy, science, debates, fun, and arguably frustration Hates: Being weak, boredom, feeling distant from others, not having anyone to spar/practice/debate/science with, and most of all, @Iocun being dormant Motivation: Fun, becoming Lady Pandora's champion
Occupation: Shaman Age: 273 Gender: Male Race: Atavian, although RP'd as being born a Tsol'aa Class: Shaman Residence: Eleusis House: The Scions of the Ithmia
Appearance: He is a winged atavian. His handsome face is complimented with short curly blonde hair and bright blue-grey eyes. He appears lifeless with dull pale skin unmarred by time or injury it appears unnaturally smooth and clear. With a thin, athletic body he stands at 6 feet as two sets of wings rise from him in stark opposition to eachother. Natural bright Atavian wings are prominent and full of life with graceful white feathers with cyan secondaries.
Personality: Let's see... Achimrst is played as a completely fanatical zealot who, as of now, leans in the direction of Nature and always leans in the direction of the Spirits. He tells terrible jokes because it "brings him closer to the spirits of the multiverse" and generally just confuses people with his extremely involved religous views on how Spirits permeate all things.
Notable Friends: People Relatives: Bluef, Jonesey, Draqoom, and apparently Caladbolg. Parents: Bluef and Jonesey Rivals/ Enemies: People Opposite Faction Attitude: Oblivion Loves: Spirits and books Hates: Oblivion and apathy Motivation: Learning Quotes: "Interesting."
Full Name: Ginovianna Nyxillum Occupation: Alchemist, teacher, Minister, Twilight's fangirl (ahem) Age: 53 Gender: Female Race: Siren Class: Alchemist Residence: Hashan House: None Appearance: (If you wanna look go ahead, I'm bad with descriptions don't judge!)
She is a beautiful siren. Copious amounts of dark, burgundy kinky curls cascade down her shoulders and back. The sheen rich tones of burgundy ringlets stand out beautifully against her dewy chocolate skin. Some strands of hair fall over her face, partially obscuring her left eye. Ginovianna's oval face is complimented by her well proportioned features, almond shaped eyes, wide nose, arched brows, and full lips. Her eyes are orbs of gleaming gold. Being heavy-set, her cheeks swell whenever her lips turn at the corners. Strange vines of gold adorn her forearms. The vines on her forearms seemingly change their pattern each time you look. In an effort to appear taller than she is at five feet and four inches, Ginovianna sustains an erect posture.
Personality: Introverted. Detests being around people but she puts on a facade and socializes often. Stern, and sometimes unforgiving (depending on the circumstance), though she can be open and kind towards those who approach her openly and kindly. Acts as if she is oblivious to most things, but is always observing people, events, and her surroundings. Ginovianna is very curious and will stop at nothing to acquire knowledge from someone or something. Speaks in riddles often, loves giving vague answers in order to study reactions. She tries to work hard, and hates disappointing people. Tries to hide her cruel and darker side often.
Friends: Anyone who is friendly towards her, but she will keep them at a distance. Relatives: @Kasa, @Leliel, there are more but she see those two often and loves them. Parents: @Shirszae is her mother and @Tharvis is her father. Enemies/Rivals: No personal enemies or rivals. Opposite Faction Attitude: Dislikes anyone against Hashan and it's Patrons. Loves: Explosions, studying, teaching, meditation, science, silence, speaking in riddles, exploring, violence, explosions, and torture. Hates: Overly happy people (except Leliel ), people, being controlled, most jesters, people that meow. Absinthe, sharp things near her eyes. Excessive chin rubbers. Touchy people. Motivation: Learning Quotes: "I see.", "What knowledge are you seeking?", "No.", and "Interesting."
Occupation: Insidium Eminence and Minister of Trade Age: 65 Gender: Female Race: Siren Class: Magi Residence: Mhaldor House: The Insidium
Appearance: She is a beautiful siren. She is a tall, lanky woman with slender features. Her skin is ghostly pale, nearly as colorless as her long, stark white hair which has been combed to fall softly down to her waist. Tucked into the side of her hair, keeping it swept from her eyes, is a haircomb of delicate ivory. A deep scar runs from her hairline and diagonally down through her left eyebrow, interrupted only by a small, marquis-cut tiger's eye that is embedded into the middle of her forehead. Her vibrant violet eyes gaze sharply, attentive to her surroundings, dark circles formed under them. On her lips remains a trace of a smile, though her cheeks begin to sink in, a gaunt look nearly hiding her dimples. Branded into her forearm is a crude escarbuncle. Marring the palm of her left hand is twisted flesh roughly the size of a stone.
Personality: It depends on when and where you catch her. In private she's rather light-hearted and just enjoys a good laugh. However, the face most will see is much more cordial. I've been told she is seen as somber a lot but I disagree. She's patient but she's fiery and has no problem holding her ground against that which she disagrees with. Does not stress easily.
Notable Friends: Gets along with most but tends to only keep close to family.
Relatives: Has relatives galore but she also has the Aristata family in Mhaldor that has taken her in and she absolutely respects and admires each one of them. Her son Cresil is the only one both blood and Aristata and one of the few people she's afraid of, but she'll never admit that aloud. ^_^
Parents: Melodie Le'Murzen and Aerek Ancyrion
Rivals/Enemies: Ah... I'm pretty sure plenty of people love the chance to kill her, but I wouldn't say I have any formal rivals.
Opposite Faction Attitude: She feels a very heavy burden and frustration that they cannot see Truth. Thinks they revel in their weakness and are too lazy or prideful to cast it off.
Loves: Order. Tending to the family shop and taking care of the Trade Ministry is her calm place. She loves when people tell stories, historical, personal or fiction it doesn't matter. Rainbow pudding from Annwyn. Her cats. Sailing and exploring new places. She loves to show other people something new that they might have never seen. She loves a bloody battle (//Sometimes I can only take so much though//).
Hates: Arrogance. Disorder. Mangoes. Her crystal golem. Terracotta. Laziness. Dancing.
Motivation: Learning and seeking out wisdom. A single drive to please her Lord and to see all of her family growing and eager.
Quotes: “Every knee will bend or it will break!" - Mathonwy Corso in reference to the mimes of Sapience.
Occupation: Predicant in the Harbingers, general errands girl. Age: 58 Gender: Female Race: Human Class: Blademaster Residence: The Oakhouse Estate, Targossas House: Harbingers
Appearance: She is a human. Nearly as tall as a man, she sports a figure of slim softness and a dusky olive complexion made darker still by the sun. Glossy black hair hangs loose about her shoulders to frame a heart-shaped face and dark, almond-shaped eyes. A lightly protruding lower lip gives her a natural pout and slightly impetuous appearance when she does not smile. Her shoulders are rather broad for one so slender, and combined with her height gives her a rather regal if somewhat masculine bearing.
Personality: Although Delosian born, Szareine outwardly lacks the kind of 'salesman' personality that one would expect for the daughter of a merchant family. She's not overly loud or familiar with people, but she's notably a lot warmer and more relaxed with people she knows. A little bit prudish in some ways, she's quite easily flustered when put in uncomfortable situations.
Notable Friends: @Anedhel, @Lavakhi, @Lianice, @Vithincus, @Tesha, @Synbios Relatives: -- Parents: They live in Delos, she visits often enough. Rivals/ Enemies: None, I think. Opposite Faction Attitude: It's said that her greatest strength is her kindness and willingness to see the best in people. Perhaps at one time this would hold true for the opposite faction as well, but her Eastern influences are strong and has coloured her perception of them quite significantly. She's perhaps overly cautious, and quick to keep her distance as though everything they say might be some sort of trick. Loves: quiet moments to think, working on her house expansions, the Duckie Wheel Hates: The thoughtlessly vicious, intrusions upon her privacy, getting prodded (*stare @Daeir *),embarrassing misunderstandings. Motivation: As far fetched as it is, she does dream of there one day being a world blessed by Light where she can retire away and live in peaceful seclusion with her loved ones. Quotes: "Oh my."
Appearance: (If you wanna look go ahead, I'm bad with descriptions don't judge!)
There are no bad descriptions, only empty ones.
Hell yeah thats the spirit!

Occupation: Artisan Warrior Age: 67 Gender: Female Race: Siren Class: Blademaster Residence: The hearts of those who love her House: True Rogue
Appearance: Towering over most with a standing height of 6' 4" unassisted, her body is marked by the clean signs of a rigorous fitness. Her arms, while slender, are well-toned. Her neck slopes gently, curving to modestly broad shoulders. In contrast, her legs, wherein lies most of her height, are veritable examples of rugged steel, tempered by the fiery burn of ten thousand days' journey in the wilderness. True to her Siren roots, her hips flare pleasantly to accommodate her lower regions, sloping inwards to her abdomen which belies more fervent upkeep of her body. Her upper chest lays claim to an ample, yet unobtrusive bosom. All these details pale when compared to her eyes, however. Piercing orbs of glacial blue, beckoning to all they meet; deep wells, drowned in the watery graves dug by tide, time, and tears, clutch at the soul of those who dare to peer very far within, creating a sensation of falling. Her orange-blaze crown of hair contrasts with those eyes by lending a sense of passionate fire in the waves and curls of her shoulder-length hair. The serenity of her features is broken by several harsh, jagged scars, the most notable of which is one crossing her right eye, starting from just above her eyebrow, running in a wide, broken line to her cheek. Three burn scars very neatly adorn her right arm in straight, thin lines. Her pale-white skin is tempered by a soft mellowing, provided by a lifetime of hardship far from the cities.
Personality: Speaks in riddles quite often. To best explain Natliya's personality, it is easiest to look at her four core symbols: The Willow tree, the Phoenix, the quiet stream, and jade. Willow Tree: Restful. Gentle. A haven to many. Strong and unyielding. Unforgiving and unashamed of scars, worn humbly on the bark. Deep roots, far-reaching branches. The Phoenix: Fiery. Hunter. Wrathful. A symbol of re-birth. Capable of flight without shame. Burns if you get too close. Regal. Intelligent hunter who analyzes prey. Protective. The Quiet Stream: Soft. Refreshing. Silent, yet cries out loudly to those who listen and are thirsty. Calm. Persevering. Fluid and graceful. Nourishes life and boldness. Jade: Classically the colour of venom. Semi-precious. Smooth to the touch if handled properly. Steady. Not easily broken. Like the venom, toxic and lethal if breathed.
Notable Friends: Anyone who doesn't anger her Family: The lost, The hurting, The strays Blood-Relatives: None Parents: Zemara (Disowned) Rivals/Enemies: Those who detest Vodka Faction Attitude: Heavy emphasis on protection Opposing Faction Attitude: Stagnation, extremists Love: Artistry in every form, family, combat, chess Hate: Uselessness, being trapped, collars, helplessness Motivation: Ashes behind, fire ahead Quotes: "Touch me like that again, and I will break three of your fingers." "Hunt not the unknown, lest you should become the hunted." "You seek to divide the line between man and beast using steel and bow? Sir; it is -art- which is the dividing line. Place your hopes in a swifter step, a clearer note, and a holocaust bomb." "I love explosions." ~The Lonesome Willow, Natliya Cain

Lol your signature tricked me into thinking leo was part of your description. Also, the 12 year old in me cant help to lol at erect posture. So many jokes come to mind.
Appearance: He is a human of just about average height, broad
shouldered, with stocky legs and thick sinewy arms that seem to hang too low at
his sides. Restless, and frequently seen to dart back and forth, his bloodshot,
grey eyes peer out from under a permanently creased brow, and are ringed by
dark circles. His mouth and chin bristle with stubble of a coarse hard beard
growing in uneven patches around his mouth and along his jaw. His complexion is
one of that kind which never looks clean or wholesome with what bare skin that
is visible beneath the caked on layer of grime having a pallid, unhealthy,
colour to it. On his head he has stiff, black hair, standing jaggedly all over
it, and growing down hill almost to his crooked, blunt nose. His hands, which
are of a rough, coarse grain, are very dirty; his fingernails are crooked,
chewed down, and yellow. His habit of gnawing on them constantly often reveals
the few discoloured pegs that are yet scattered in his mouth. Burnt deep into
the palm of his left hand is the brand of the city of Mhaldor.
Personality: Multonsomehow
manages to look awkward and out of place wherever he is, and it is doubtful
anyone he has ever met could recall a single occasion on which he’d ever worn
anything that appeared to fit properly. Though amiable enough in temperament,
he seems ill at ease with people, and, in turn, most prefer to avoid his
company: a tendency no doubt exacerbated by the perpetual psoriasis that has
afflicted him, as well as his body odour, which, in all honesty, takes quite a
bit of getting used to. Nevertheless he’d proven an able and valuable slave in
his youth, due in no small part to his peculiar mentality. Not overly bright,
but eager to please and doggedly literal in his approach to following orders,
he became a useful buffer between whoever happened to be in charge of him at
any given time and the more onerous aspects of his or her job. He never
questions anything his betters say or do, apparently convinced that it all must
be for the benefit of Mhaldor in some way
Notable Friends: Multon’s
fellow protégé @Regen, @Vivessa, and he likes to think of his mentor @Taraus,
@Melodie, @Titonus, @Xenna, @Herenicus, and most other Mhaldorians as being his
friends as well. Although it is somewhat doubtful that many of them besides
@Regen would list Multon as a friend in return, they are all aware of his
existence to some extent, which is more than enough for Multon… who may or may not be fully aware of what the concept of 'friendship' entails.
Relatives: None that Multon knows of. If any were ever
discovered they would probably deny the relation vehemently…
Parents: Probably dead, Multon doesn’t seem to care much…
Rivals/ Enemies: Most animals, the Leviathan (albeit it is somewhat of a
one sided affair), Flower Maidens, and soap.
Opposite Faction Attitude: Multon is, for the most part, totally
ignorant of the other factions in Achaea, though he knows that all of them are heretics who will be bent to the will of the
Master or purged. Despite this,
Multon doesn’t go looking for fights, as he would not presume to begin purging
said heretics without specific orders. (That, and most of them would probably
kill him if he tried…) All he knows is that the zealous followers of ‘the good’
are especially contemptible and that the devotes of ‘nature’ are the
tree-hugging inhabitants of the forest, whose bizarre and depraved deviancy is
best not described in polite company…
Loves: Philosophising about evil,
reading, improving himself, and killing small animals.
Hates: small/baby/fluffy or
otherwise ‘cute’ animals, children, trees, nature, blankets, and weakness of
the mind or flesh.
Motivation: Ruthless, unthinking, devotion to the will of Lord
Sartan, blind obedience to his superiors, and a thirst for annihilation.
Quotes:“The more it hurts… The more you know…” ; “I NEED MORE MUSHROOM SIGILS!” ; “Kitten?
What kitten? I don’t know about any kittens… I mean bear cubs…” ; “Hey,
is that the Leviathan? Oh sh-”
The quotes got me good, @Multon. Right in the feels.
And I love too Be still, my indelible friend That love soon might end You are unbreaking And be known in its aching Though quaking Shown in this shaking Though crazy Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
Full Name Seeker Trilliana (currently) Dame Trilliana Xanatov-Inamora (usual title)
Occupation Retired, working towards the Lore path in the Outriders
Age 265 years old
Gender Female
Race: Atavian
Class: Runewarden
Residence: Cyrene
House: The Discurean Outriders
Appearance: She is a winged atavian. Standing at just a touch over five feet in height and is very curvaceous compared to most others of her race. What extra weight she carries has settled at her broad hips, generous bust, and everywhere else in a natural way. Her skin is a slight ivory, with a soft tan on her arms and face from her hours outdoors. Soft black hair is pulled back behind her, looping into a tight bun, which is only held together by a selily hairpin bearing an obsidian spider. Her dark tresses gradually changes to a dark burgundy with tendrils of tight ringlets falling from the bun. Her emerald-green eyes glisten softly as she takes in all that is around her, complemented with soft cheeks with small dimples, light pink lips. On her chest, above her left breast is intricate tattooing of a raven in mid-flight. Marked by crimson splatters on its wings and emerald eyes to match her own, each feather and curve of the raven has accents of silver silk threads sewn into the skin. Behind her, large wings rest against her back, nearly indistinguishable from her hair save for maroon spots akin to blood splatter over her ebony feathers. Curling around her biceps are twin tattoos of a golden moon surround by a myriad of silvered stars which twinkle as she moves. Should one's gaze slip to her right hand, the shape of a rose branded on the back of her hand between her thumb and forefinger.
Personality: Trilliana is one of those genuine, humble people that just wants to help and make others happy. It's her biggest flaw as well because she tends to put the interests of others, especially those she loves, in front of her. She has the mind of a great designer, artist, and politician, but she holds herself back because she feels she'd intimidate others. She has many secrets that she tries to hide, but as time goes on, she's started to feel they aren't as important and forgets about them. She loves wholly and deeply, friends, family, significant others, and lovers. She has a deep sense of duty instilled in her from being a Knight that she had hoped to get rid of when she left Cyrene, but due to events that went on in Eleusis, she felt unwelcome and knew she needed to return to the place she called home. She rarely shows pride, but it's usually tied to her being the last Knighted Scholar in the realms (The other two Knight Houses had done away with the Scholar path long before the Wardens and she was the last in the Wardens) Her time in the Beloved had the biggest impact on her life, she continues to try to spread Love and Beauty where she can, but Selene's death broke her spirit in many ways that tends to make her difficult to deal with - especially if she's in a relationship with them.
Notable Friends: @Bronislav, her boyfriend, @Verrucht, @Daslin, @Melodie (Even though they haven't spoken in years and she's quite worried about speaking with someone she considered a best friend) @Naomh, @Rinzai, @Pharue (her best friend since she was 18 or so) @Caoimhaen (I totally didn't forget... okay maybe I did, but damnit I'm on 4 hours of sleep here!)
Relatives: The Xanatovs and the Drakes - She learned early on that family doesn't mean that they won't hurt you, especially after Mhaldor and Cyrene's treaty had ended. She's had conversations ranging from being Head of Novices with her Aunt @Mycen, comparing the different Knight Houses with @Vadimuses and @Vasool (Her uncles, and she definitely misses speaking with them), and even religion, specifically Suffering with her half-brother @Nizaris (who she genuinely misses, even if she wouldn't outright say so). Her parents mean a lot to her, but she considers @Dairune and @Kotyonok to be closer to parents than anyone else.
Parents: Lufius and Rathasa
Rivals/ Enemies: For a time she considered @Hasar a rival, same for @Aegoth, though that was mainly when she was Alchemist and Magi. She tries to not make enemies, so if she has any, she doesn't know it
Opposite Faction Attitude: Trilliana is very open-minded, but doesn't care for the zealotry that she sees in Mhaldor, Targossas, and Eleusis to a lesser extent. She can understand why each faction does what they do, but it isn't something that interests her.
Loves: Learning about others, Divine, Lore, designing, helping others, and spending time with those she loves. Oh and Cyrene.
Hates: Feeling helpless, the fact that fighting is something she can't seem to grasp, and the fact that Selene is gone for good.
Motivation: Happiness, love, and knowledge. She considered Cyrene her biggest motivation, but after stressing out so much, she finally realized that she needs to focus inward for her happiness.
Appearance: She is a human with tanned, lightly freckled skin. Small and lissome, her graceful posture gives an impression of regal bearing that belies her brief height. Her large, luminous eyes are the textured green of malachite, ripples of pale mint and dark moss. Unkempt saffron curls, the reddish-orange of a Vashnarian sunset, fall in a wild tumble to her waist. A section near her temple has been gathered into a coarse braid and wound around the crown of her head, with vibrant mountain crocuses woven throughout. A few wayward strands frame her oval face, offsetting a petite, elfin nose and gently tapered chin.
Personality: Aereidhna has never met a stranger, and is outgoing, overly affectionate, and a bit too trusting (though she's starting to grow out of that). She is fiercely loyal to her friends. Always on the lookout for fun, she rarely does anything she doesn't want to do. She is goal-oriented and has a long list of things she wants to accomplish, but takes her sweet time with it - either due to an abundance of fun to be had, or because she can be a perfectionist and is afraid to start learning things she knows she'll have to suck at for awhile first. She tends to be very blunt and literal-minded, and envies people who aren't; she likes these traits in herself but also fears they'll hold her back from being a good artist or a good Seeker of the Dream. She has a huge competitive streak, but doesn't mind hanging back if it means watching her friends succeed. Though she is very feminine and can come off as a bit girly or naive at times, she also enjoys upsetting those stereotypes by drinking Dragons under the table and kicking serious denizen ass.
Notable Friends: her boyfriend, Sanek; her best friend, Kelvin; friendly with most of her House and citymates, especially Ilen, Phelia, Mazel, Kotaru, Aziik, and Razzlo; admires/looks up to Ilen, Phelia, Perl, Madelyne, Mazel, Bronislav, Bluef, and Darktalon
Relatives: Unknown
Parents: Unknown
Rivals/Enemies: None
Opposite Faction Attitude: Aereidhna finds the philosophies and motivations of other factions to be interesting, and will always entertain a good book or lecture/discussion on the subject. That said, she's very fond of Cyrene's isolationist/neutral-good stance and has some disdain for what she sees as the shortsightedness or zealotry (or shortsighted zealotry) of most other factions. Her only strong opposition to other factions lies in that they are hostile to Cyrene and Lady Valnurana; she doesn't hold a fervent ideological opposition to other factions.
Loves: spending time with friends, helping people, drinking (whiskey, though she's starting to warm up to Cyrene's rum), sailing, fishing, hunting, dancing, design, forging, the color green
Hates: gossip/backbiting, condescension (and especially hates her own hypocrisy in that she sometimes falls into doing both those things), doing homework, formality
Motivation: Having fun, learning, getting better at art, becoming a Seeker of the Dream one day, making people smile
Quotes: "Doing strange things in the name of art." "Time for shots!"
Not to be critical @Aereidhna, but I was wondering if you meant to put, "her brief height"? Brief does mean short, but usually I think it's used when describing the length of a piece of writing, or the duration of something in time. I might be wrong though, and just wanted to say, since otherwise it's a really great character bio.

The usage is intentional, though I know it's not necessarily standard Thank you! I really like yours as well.
Full Name: Tillie (formerly went as "Tillie Shieldsplitter" for a short amount of time, but she was previously a human, so actually part of the clan she took the name from).
Occupation: Explorer, freelance musician and dancer. Seeking "new employment." Age: 100 Gender: Female Race: Dwarf Class: Blademaster Residence: Taverns, gardens. The Temple of the Great Bard and the Temple of the Smith. House: N/A
Appearance: She is a stout dwarf, her diminutive frame corded with lithe muscle bespeaking dedication to a strict training regime. An air of shabbiness surrounds her, solidified by the thin veil of dust and dirt scuffing up her already tanned and generously freckled skin. While her copper-red hair is shorn close around the sides and back, the crown of her head remains covered in an unruly mass of bright, flame-like curls. Her face is cherubic and heart-shaped, offset in its gentleness by an impish nose and deep, blood-red lips. Even when at rest, the right side of her mouth remains upturned, mirroring the natural glimmer of mischief granted by her catlike, yellow eyes. Inked along the inner side of her right bicep is a long, faintly curved sword with a blade of red and silver.
Personality: For the most part, Tillie is very easygoing. She enjoys finding exhilaration in life, no matter what form it may take, but still enjoys being a lazy sod from time-to-time. Her sense of humor is a bit on the dry side, and usually at someone elses' expense..though her teasing is oftentimes used as means of affection.
Now that she is no longer Cyrenian, she jumps more frequently at the chance to get to know complete strangers. Curiosity is something that has always gotten the better of her, but never stopped her from seeking satiation. When she is around others she is congenial, sometimes overly mannerly, overcompensating for her usual lack of manners and general "improper" way of doing things.
When alone, Tillie starts to get too introspective for her own good. Sometimes poetry happens - and while she is, at heart, a bard, she often gets irritated at the abstract qualities in her own writing. As creative as dance and music allow her to be, her dwarven upbringing (first as a human raised by dwarves, and now as a dwarf fully) still forces her to focus on the concrete and more practical aspects of life. The cold steel of an anvil. A roughly-hewn gem in her hand. Fortunately, art and crafting are one and the same, so it works out nicely.
Notable
Friends: It's been a little while. She needs to figure out who still wishes to be a friend, at this point. Relatives: None known Parents: None Known Rivals/ Enemies: None Known Opposite Faction Attitude: Right now, Tillie doesn't feel any animosity towards any one faction. She'd rather they all stay in the background while she tries to figure her path out. Loves: Ale. Music. Dancing. Swordplay. Danger. Pretty people. Hates: (Read: fearful of) Atavian wings. Ignorance. People that don't listen. Being too busy. Being too static. Motivation: As stupid as it sounds, she is motivated currently to find a motivation, other than Art. Art is a lifestyle in itself for her, but she is certain there is another calling she needs to take up to supplement the other aspects of her life. Quotes: When I'm not half falling asleep I will update this. Bl
Occupation: Resident snarky person? Sometimes gets drafted to do ambassador/diplomat type things. Age: 36 Gender: Female Race: Atavian Class: Jester Residence: A box somewhere in Delos. House: Carnivalis Institute of Jestering
Appearance: She is a winged atavian, energetic and cheerful. Slightly below average height, she almost seems to bounce with a childish enthusiasm in keeping with her youthful, though extremely pale, looks. Her face seems perpetually split by a smile that she struggles to contain as she glances about, her cheeks slightly flushed and her eyes bright, the clear ruby color flecked with amber set under wispy lashes and angled brows. Her happy features are accentuated by a button nose and full mouth, her skin fair enough to qualify as porcelain. Her snow-white hair is pinned in a sloppy braided bun, stray strands falling to pool on her shoulders and frame her sharp cheekbones, curling down over her collarbone in an artless tumble. Her shoulders are narrow, sloping down into a quietly curvy frame, her build slim but athletic. A light dusting of freckles covers her shoulders, blending back into an expanse of slate grey feathers dappled in black.
Personality: Very happy-go-lucky, especially on the surface. She's always super cheerful and ready to crack a joke, but she's also the universal ear for anyone who's down, and surprisingly enough usually gives pretty sound advice. She operates on a seemingly simple and almost childish ideology of wanting to make people smile, but it's a bit deeper than that. She remains enthusiastic about the CIJ and what it does, almost obsessively so; it's made her housemates tell her to slow down on the ideas. She hates the fact that the CIJ doesn't really get as much respect as they could, so she tends to have an ongoing mini-crusade about it whenever it's brought up. She is extremely close to her family and friends, and she's always happy to meet new people. However, she's very blunt, and gods all help you if you wrong someone she cares about, because she'll get you somehow. Never start a philosophical conversation with her, because it probably won't end for a while.
Notable Friends: Too many to even list, meep. Relatives:@Kasa, @Ginovianna Parents:@Tharvis Rivals/ Enemies: What are those? Opposite Faction Attitude: None. Completely neutral. Loves: Making people smile, firecracker raids, rum, rum, rum, spending time with friends/family, hunting, not having to inscribe, dark humour Hates: People being narrowminded, unnecessary aggressiveness Motivation: Personal philosophy Quotes: "I didn't do it!"
Full Name: Amunet Neferkheremet Viatrix (previously Eruu'Yul, Shiva, Van Helsing, Stryganis, Cyndane-Keyte, but she prefers to forget about the lot of them.)
Occupation: Historian, ritualist, rhetorist, and theologian; former Demiurge (House Leader) of the Occultists, and current Keeper of the Iron Crown (one of the co-Orderheads of the Cult of Babel).
Age: A gentleman never asks, and a lady never tells.
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Class: Occultist
Residence: Ashtan - more specifically, Fruitless Orchards.
House: The Occultists
Appearance: She is a human. Her milk-white complexion, blessedly bereft of imperfections, stands in ghostly contrast to the jet-black tresses coiled into an elegant chignon at the base of her skull. Her eyes are large and round, set beneath slim brows and fringed sumptuously by ebon lashes, with chocolate irises that seem to smoulder against her high cheekbones. A third eye, sanguineous and imposing, peers from the apex of her forehead, crowning her brow like a blood-red jewel as it glances about with an eerie, prescient air. A pert, aristocratic nose slopes gracefully down the centre of her heart-shaped face, complementing the full lips perched imperiously above her chin. Platinum bars, their diamond-capped ends glittering wickedly, pierce the flesh between each of the vertebra of her spine, forming a decadent ladder that runs from the nape of her neck to the small of her back. Her regal carriage effortlessly makes the most of her winsome figure, belying, in tandem with the heeled shoes she often favours, her rather diminutive height. The Mark of the Twin stands out against the snowy flesh of her forearm, its lines precise and controlled, healed long ago into pearlescent scars.
Personality: Amunet is a bitch. There is really no sugar-coating it. She is every bit a lady, and will begin any interaction with a warm and welcoming mien, but, as her patience wanes, so does her composure. Subtle insults will begin to snake their way into her conversation, growing ever more blatant until finally she says something crass and has the offending party removed from her presence. Those who can endure her irascibility, however, soon come to find that she is not so bad in a private setting. She has a soft spot for her Occultist children, as well as for her proteges and her friends. Once you have earned Amunet's respect and loyalty, you have done so for life. This is part of why she finds betrayal (I'm looking at you, @Mathonwy, @Sothantos, and @Aodfionn!) so difficult to stomach. With those she cares about, she is, by turns, demanding and indulgent. She expects nothing short of excellence from those who surround her, but she is also willing to do, quite literally, whatever it takes to help them to realise their ambitions. She is a lifelong Occultist whose ferocious dedication and seemingly interminable service to the House has earned her a hardline reputation when it comes to the Oath, but recognition as one of the foremost ritualists and historians in Ashtan, if not Sapience as a whole. She is a devout Nihilist and a dedicated priestess of Babel whose religion plays a very important role in her daily life. She is respected as a stateswoman and politician, having served Ashtan in Ministry and Council capacities numerous times over the course of her life. Her public image, however, is somewhat marred by her temper and her alcoholism. Her open disdain for other religious traditions, and her passively racist tendencies, have likewise not done her any favours.
Parents: Beldaran and Lucid, but they are estranged.
Rivals/Enemies: Formerly there was a laundry list, but since her return, there are none of whom to speak...yet.
Faction Attitude: Chaos and Oblivion
Opposite Faction Attitude: Amunet tends to roll her eyes at other factions, finding their paradigms both shortsighted and lacking in ambition. She does not possess a seething hatred for any of her opposition, contrary to popular belief - merely an overwhelming sense of ennui.
Loves: Absinthe, Shala'jen 199, bliss, books, travel, poetry, art, performing rituals, meddling in politics, spending time in the chapel or the caverns of Enheduanna, and expensive things - as a Nihilist, Amunet understands the truth in the words, "You can't take it with you," and, thus, spends money like it is going out of style. She also loves to gamble, and will often make casual bets on the outcomes of world games, elections, and marriages.
Hates: Non-alcoholic beverages, most red meats, most Sirens and women of ill repute (@Taraus being a notable exception. ), and the men who keep their company; spiders, jesters, and most Horkvals.
Quotes: Too many to list.
My avatar is an image created by this very talented gentleman, of whose work I am extremely jealous. It was not originally a picture of Amunet, but it certainly looks a great deal like how I envision her!
Without a history section some of
this may not make much sense, or feel incomplete but I’m going to leave pieces
like parts of her personality out for ingame discovery.She is also mostly developed but I left room for others to influence her growth, so her personality may seem shorter then it really is.
Full Name: Tukiyo
Occupation: Mercenary Age: 18 Gender: Female Race: Human Class: Blademaster Residence: Wherever her contract takes her House: None
Appearance: Dark brown bordering on black hair
is cut at a mid-length that is brought back cleanly and tied together. The
short length sprouting from the cord tying her hair together flares out into an
almost flower like effect. Her face is soft with lips shy of full but that fit
more appropriately on her appearance. The brown eyes staring out at the world,
sharp with thick lashes and full brows. Her soft brown skin is decorated with a
number of small scars that range from small dots of a healed bite mark or cuts
and burns. Taunt muscles are balanced with fair curves that still give her a
feminine appearance despite her athletic form. Sitting at a solid five foot
five inches, this woman is toned with little fat for padding. Broad shoulders
give her form a larger appearance as it leads into those arms reinforced with
solid cords of muscle. Built, thick thighs that lead into solid calves speak to
her leg strength. Her core loses to few as the definition of her decorates her
stomach with clear lines to outline her abdominals. Despite the blatant work
put into building the physical strength of her body, it is still kept
proportional, toned and not in the slightest bulky. A black tattoo that is a bit
hard to see against her tan skin is placed on her right shoulder. The design
simple and straight forward, being a sword with two curved lines from the guard
to the tip.
(I hate descs. I swear there are more typos in my desc then
anything I’ve ever written)
Personality: Overly
formal at times, Tukiyo was raised as a very specific type of mercenary. Her
childhood to adulthood a long training session of a professional warrior. As such
she takes the professionalism seriously and takes her contracts as almost unrelenting
doctrine. Despite the loss of her company, she has chosen to stick with the
path for personal reasons rather than join a city or change paths.
Dangerously stubborn, she will get herself killed and then train constantly
until she manages to complete her contract. On the same vein as this, she is
extremely goal oriented and has already planned out much of her goals for the
next few years. There are a few exclusions however to this stubbornness. She
will not chase those for a conversation if they make it troublesome to talk to
them. If she feels like she is putting far more effort than her counterpart
then she will quickly lose interest, despite how much she enjoys a pleasant
conversation.
Notable Friends: Currently Lexa, and potentially Shirszae
Relatives: Orphan, as far as she cares she has no family with
her company dead.
Parents: None Known Rivals/ Enemies: Colchis and Umbrin for personal reasons. Opposite Faction Attitude: Neutral due to her profession
Loves: Fine drinks, nice clothing, honour, letters, tradition,
poker, chess, her sword Noble Storm, strength
Hates: Passive aggressiveness, wasting time, flat conversations,
impersonal forms of communication(tells, messages, market, so forth. She finds
them unsatisfying and disconnecting.), those who take her prey(Cyrenian’s are
getting on her list slowly)
Motivation: At her base, there are two main motivations.
Pride(by extension, a very strict honor code and loyalty) and survival. Quotes:

Full Name: Shirszae Nynniaw
Occupation: Wandering bard/Swordmistress
Age: 141
Gender: Female
Race: Siren
Class: Infernal
Residence: Inns and roads, for the most part.
House: None
Appearance: She is a beautiful siren of the northern wilds. Small and child-like, her dusky features are nonetheless lean and severe, remiss to laughter. A brilliant amber hue glimmers in the iris of her left eye, while a lone strip of black cloth hides away the sight of her right one. A myriad short waves of snow-white locks are barely long enough to spill and frame her usually unsmiling countenance, her hair worn in the boyish manner of the pixies except for one long, intricate and unblemished braid falling from her temple down to graze at her collarbone. Upon her skin sit blemishes and adornments alike, such as the badly healed mark of fangs on the side of her neck, or the number of white, glimmering scales beside her thin, uncoloured lips. The most notorious, however, is a burn scar on her left cheek in the shape of what seems to be an escarbuncle within a border. Possessor of a cold beauty and long, sharp claws for nails, no womanly charm insinuates itself to the eyes beyond the obviousness of her race.
Personality: An unlikely bard, she is very temperamental and brooding, her secluded upbringing having made of her a loner and marked her with a love for the wistful and tragic at a young age. Her swinging moods usually dictate much of how she interacts with others in any one occasion. Even on her best and most approachable, she largely remains distant with those she does not know, and specially with those she dislikes or is uninterested in. Towards the people she cares about or who attract her interest she can be very variable as well, but she struggles to be courteous and earnest in her own way, at the very least, if not always honest. Though cautious and greatly paranoid, she, like most true bards, tends to disdain morals and stringent laws, preferring the interesting and curious to the wise or proper on most occasions.
Notable friends: She treasures all those she consider actual friends equally.
Beloved Relatives: @Ginovianna, her daughter. @Alcinae, half-brother. @Natliya and @Teghaine, adoptive sisters
Parents: None she is exceptionally attached or proud of.
Rivals/Enemies: She has a particular dislike for @Aodfionn, but otherwise does not consider him special in any manner
Faction Attitude: Art with a minute bent towards Evil.
Opposite Faction Attitude: Though the realm of Art has no directly opposing faction as such, she personally abhors the ideas of Good and Light.
Loves: Music, knowledge, absinthe, seeing the world, performing bards, her goat Ukko and her xabat Doru.
Hates: People who act with unearned familiarity or who are content with ignoring the breath and scope of the world, interruptions, selflessness, Trolls, honour, crowds, jesters,
Quotes: My blood is still red, but my heart has turned grey, a quote from one of her favourite poets, Lucaine Pyramides
And you won't understand the cause of your grief...
...But you'll always follow the voices beneath.
Full Name: Nim Windstrike (with about fifty bajillion other surnames to choose from)
Occupation: Soldier of Cyrene, follower of Lady Pandora, occasional mad scientist
Age: nearly 100 omg
Gender: Female
Race: Siren
Class: Blademaster
Residence: Cyrene
House: The Vashnarian Shield
Appearance: Short and generally skinny, without much in the way of stereotypical Sireni curves. In the right art style, she could be mistaken as a 'boy that might be mistaken as a girl,' especially under loose enough clothing, and given she's prone to wearing robes lately, that's a thing that could happen. Her hair and eyes are both green, the former lately edging on uncontrolled, and she has an islander's tan. Her blade, pale alloyed with an indigo grip, contrasts its wielder fairly well, though the two are just about never seen away from one another.
Personality: Cold and distant, but fairly passionate as well. She might as well be a masochist, and she has a hard time getting to know or even remembering people who aren't interested in fighting her. She's essentially a hotheaded swordmaiden. She believes in fun as her primary goal, and presumably has it. She sometimes lashes out at people, since she tends to bottle her emotions up. She's not exactly the most pleasant person ever, in spite of her generally peaceful, monkish outlook.
She believes very strongly that all strength comes from the strength of one's heart or soul, and so she generally refuses to give up regardless of the odds against her. She'll sometimes annoy people by saying "this is impossible," but that's Nimese for "this finally got interesting." This gets her killed sometimes, though since she follows a strange form of violent pacifism, not nearly as much as it could.
Notable Friends: @Iocun (boyfriend who's suspiciously dormant when she's active and vice versa), @Syth (mentor, source of her surname), @Nellaundra (best friend who she almost never gets to see anymore), @Aerek (typical target of philosophical harassment), @Zinka (person that she can beat but it's difficult so a single spar turns into about nine thousand and seven), @Xer (taught her some of Mhaldorian philosophy, though they haven't spoke at length for decades now), and a few others
Relatives: Various half-sisters she hasn't ever gotten to know well enough, and approximately all of Cyrene
Parents: @Kaden
Rivals/ Enemies: It's hard to imagine Nim getting an enemy, given that she tends to befriend people through violence, in the arena or out (though admittedly, few people who attack her outside the arena actually stop to talk to her)
Faction Attitude: She... doesn't exactly have one. Though she does feel some loyalty toward Cyrene, she'd totally join one of the more militaristic cities as a mercenary if most of them (Ashtan excluded) weren't so specific about their divine and zealotry and generally opposed to mischief. How do you even oppose mischief and fun in a game? That's just crazy.
Loves: Combat, learning, quiet contemplation, philosophy, science, debates, fun, and arguably frustration
Hates: Being weak, boredom, feeling distant from others, not having anyone to spar/practice/debate/science with, and most of all, @Iocun being dormant
Motivation: Fun, becoming Lady Pandora's champion
Occupation: Shaman
Age: 273
Gender: Male
Race: Atavian, although RP'd as being born a Tsol'aa
Class: Shaman
Residence: Eleusis
House: The Scions of the Ithmia
Appearance: He is a winged atavian. His handsome face is complimented with short curly blonde hair and bright blue-grey eyes. He appears lifeless with dull pale skin unmarred by time or injury it appears unnaturally smooth and clear. With a thin, athletic body he stands at 6 feet as two sets of wings rise from him in stark opposition to eachother. Natural bright Atavian wings are prominent and full of life with graceful white feathers with cyan secondaries.
Personality: Let's see... Achimrst is played as a completely fanatical zealot who, as of now, leans in the direction of Nature and always leans in the direction of the Spirits. He tells terrible jokes because it "brings him closer to the spirits of the multiverse" and generally just confuses people with his extremely involved religous views on how Spirits permeate all things.
Notable Friends: People
Relatives: Bluef, Jonesey, Draqoom, and apparently Caladbolg.
Parents: Bluef and Jonesey
Rivals/ Enemies: People
Opposite Faction Attitude: Oblivion
Loves: Spirits and books
Hates: Oblivion and apathy
Motivation: Learning
Quotes: "Interesting."
Occupation: Alchemist, teacher, Minister, Twilight's fangirl (ahem)
Age: 53
Gender: Female
Race: Siren
Class: Alchemist
Residence: Hashan
House: None
Appearance: (If you wanna look go ahead, I'm bad with descriptions don't judge!)
Personality: Introverted. Detests being around people but she puts on a facade and socializes often. Stern, and sometimes unforgiving (depending on the circumstance), though she can be open and kind towards those who approach her openly and kindly. Acts as if she is oblivious to most things, but is always observing people, events, and her surroundings. Ginovianna is very curious and will stop at nothing to acquire knowledge from someone or something. Speaks in riddles often, loves giving vague answers in order to study reactions. She tries to work hard, and hates disappointing people. Tries to hide her cruel and darker side often.
Friends: Anyone who is friendly towards her, but she will keep them at a distance.
Relatives: @Kasa, @Leliel, there are more but she see those two often and loves them.
Parents: @Shirszae is her mother and @Tharvis is her father.
Enemies/Rivals: No personal enemies or rivals.
Opposite Faction Attitude: Dislikes anyone against Hashan and it's Patrons.
Loves: Explosions, studying, teaching, meditation, science, silence, speaking in riddles, exploring, violence, explosions, and torture.
Hates: Overly happy people (except Leliel ), people, being controlled, most jesters, people that meow. Absinthe, sharp things near her eyes. Excessive chin rubbers. Touchy people.
Motivation: Learning
Quotes: "I see.", "What knowledge are you seeking?", "No.", and "Interesting."
Occupation: Insidium Eminence and Minister of Trade
Age: 65
Gender: Female
Race: Siren
Class: Magi
Residence: Mhaldor
House: The Insidium
Appearance: She is a beautiful siren. She is a tall, lanky woman with slender features. Her skin is ghostly pale, nearly as colorless as her long, stark white hair which has been combed to fall softly down to her waist. Tucked into the side of her hair, keeping it swept from her eyes, is a haircomb of delicate ivory. A deep scar runs from her hairline and diagonally down through her left eyebrow, interrupted only by a small, marquis-cut tiger's eye that is embedded into the middle of her forehead. Her vibrant violet eyes gaze sharply, attentive to her surroundings, dark circles formed under them. On her lips remains a trace of a smile, though her cheeks begin to sink in, a gaunt look nearly hiding her dimples. Branded into her forearm is a crude escarbuncle. Marring the palm of her left hand is twisted flesh roughly the size of a stone.
Personality: It depends on when and where you catch her. In private she's rather light-hearted and just enjoys a good laugh. However, the face most will see is much more cordial. I've been told she is seen as somber a lot but I disagree. She's patient but she's fiery and has no problem holding her ground against that which she disagrees with. Does not stress easily.
Notable Friends: Gets along with most but tends to only keep close to family.
Relatives: Has relatives galore but she also has the Aristata family in Mhaldor that has taken her in and she absolutely respects and admires each one of them. Her son Cresil is the only one both blood and Aristata and one of the few people she's afraid of, but she'll never admit that aloud. ^_^
Parents: Melodie Le'Murzen and Aerek Ancyrion
Rivals/Enemies: Ah... I'm pretty sure plenty of people love the chance to kill her, but I wouldn't say I have any formal rivals.
Opposite Faction Attitude: She feels a very heavy burden and frustration that they cannot see Truth. Thinks they revel in their weakness and are too lazy or prideful to cast it off.
Loves: Order. Tending to the family shop and taking care of the Trade Ministry is her calm place. She loves when people tell stories, historical, personal or fiction it doesn't matter. Rainbow pudding from Annwyn. Her cats. Sailing and exploring new places. She loves to show other people something new that they might have never seen. She loves a bloody battle (//Sometimes I can only take so much though//).
Hates: Arrogance. Disorder. Mangoes. Her crystal golem. Terracotta. Laziness. Dancing.
Motivation: Learning and seeking out wisdom. A single drive to please her Lord and to see all of her family growing and eager.
Quotes: “Every knee will bend or it will break!" - Mathonwy Corso in reference to the mimes of Sapience.
Occupation: Predicant in the Harbingers, general errands girl.
Age: 58
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Class: Blademaster
Residence: The Oakhouse Estate, Targossas
House: Harbingers
Appearance: She is a human. Nearly as tall as a man, she sports a figure of slim softness and a dusky olive complexion made darker still by the sun. Glossy black hair hangs loose about her shoulders to frame a heart-shaped face and dark, almond-shaped eyes. A lightly protruding lower lip gives her a natural pout and slightly impetuous appearance when she does not smile. Her shoulders are rather broad for one so slender, and combined with her height gives her a rather regal if somewhat masculine bearing.
Personality: Although Delosian born, Szareine outwardly lacks the kind of 'salesman' personality that one would expect for the daughter of a merchant family. She's not overly loud or familiar with people, but she's notably a lot warmer and more relaxed with people she knows. A little bit prudish in some ways, she's quite easily flustered when put in uncomfortable situations.
Notable Friends: @Anedhel, @Lavakhi, @Lianice, @Vithincus, @Tesha, @Synbios
Relatives: --
Parents: They live in Delos, she visits often enough.
Rivals/ Enemies: None, I think.
Opposite Faction Attitude: It's said that her greatest strength is her kindness and willingness to see the best in people. Perhaps at one time this would hold true for the opposite faction as well, but her Eastern influences are strong and has coloured her perception of them quite significantly. She's perhaps overly cautious, and quick to keep her distance as though everything they say might be some sort of trick.
Loves: quiet moments to think, working on her house expansions, the Duckie Wheel
Hates: The thoughtlessly vicious, intrusions upon her privacy, getting prodded (*stare @Daeir *),embarrassing misunderstandings.
Motivation: As far fetched as it is, she does dream of there one day being a world blessed by Light where she can retire away and live in peaceful seclusion with her loved ones.
Quotes: "Oh my."
Opposite Faction Attitude: Outright revulsion, especially for Mhaldorians and Babelites
You butt
She is a beautiful siren. Copious amounts of dark, burgundy kinky curls cascade down her shoulders and back. The sheen rich tones of burgundy ringlets stand out beautifully against her dewy chocolate skin. Some strands of hair fall over her face, partially obscuring her left eye. Ginovianna's oval face is complimented by her well proportioned features, almond shaped eyes, wide nose, arched brows, and full lips. Her eyes are orbs of gleaming gold. Being heavy-set, her cheeks swell whenever her lips turn at the corners. Strange vines of gold adorn her forearms. The vines on her forearms seemingly change their pattern each time you look. In an effort to appear taller than she is at five feet and four inches, Ginovianna sustains an erect posture.
Occupation: Artisan Warrior
Age: 67
Gender: Female
Race: Siren
Class: Blademaster
Residence: The hearts of those who love her
House: True Rogue
Appearance: Towering over most with a standing height of 6' 4" unassisted, her body is marked by the clean signs of a rigorous fitness. Her arms, while slender, are well-toned. Her neck slopes gently, curving to modestly broad shoulders. In contrast, her legs, wherein lies most of her height, are veritable examples of rugged steel, tempered by the fiery burn of ten thousand days' journey in the wilderness. True to her Siren roots, her hips flare pleasantly to accommodate her lower regions, sloping inwards to her abdomen which belies more fervent upkeep of her body. Her upper chest lays claim to an ample, yet unobtrusive bosom. All these details pale when compared to her eyes, however. Piercing orbs of glacial blue, beckoning to all they meet; deep wells, drowned in the watery graves dug by tide, time, and tears, clutch at the soul of those who dare to peer very far within, creating a sensation of falling. Her orange-blaze crown of hair contrasts with those eyes by lending a sense of passionate fire in the waves and curls of her shoulder-length hair. The serenity of her features is broken by several harsh, jagged scars, the most notable of which is one crossing her right eye, starting from just above her eyebrow, running in a wide, broken line to her cheek. Three burn scars very neatly adorn her right arm in straight, thin lines. Her pale-white skin is tempered by a soft mellowing, provided by a lifetime of hardship far from the cities.
Personality: Speaks in riddles quite often. To best explain Natliya's personality, it is easiest to look at her four core symbols: The Willow tree, the Phoenix, the quiet stream, and jade.
Willow Tree: Restful. Gentle. A haven to many. Strong and unyielding. Unforgiving and unashamed of scars, worn humbly on the bark. Deep roots, far-reaching branches.
The Phoenix: Fiery. Hunter. Wrathful. A symbol of re-birth. Capable of flight without shame. Burns if you get too close. Regal. Intelligent hunter who analyzes prey. Protective.
The Quiet Stream: Soft. Refreshing. Silent, yet cries out loudly to those who listen and are thirsty. Calm. Persevering. Fluid and graceful. Nourishes life and boldness.
Jade: Classically the colour of venom. Semi-precious. Smooth to the touch if handled properly. Steady. Not easily broken. Like the venom, toxic and lethal if breathed.
Notable Friends: Anyone who doesn't anger her
Family: The lost, The hurting, The strays
Blood-Relatives: None
Parents: Zemara (Disowned)
Rivals/Enemies: Those who detest Vodka
Faction Attitude: Heavy emphasis on protection
Opposing Faction Attitude: Stagnation, extremists
Love: Artistry in every form, family, combat, chess
Hate: Uselessness, being trapped, collars, helplessness
Motivation: Ashes behind, fire ahead
Quotes:
"Touch me like that again, and I will break three of your fingers."
"Hunt not the unknown, lest you should become the hunted."
"You seek to divide the line between man and beast using steel and bow? Sir; it is -art- which is the dividing line. Place your hopes in a swifter step, a clearer note, and a holocaust bomb."
"I love explosions."

Also, the 12 year old in me cant help to lol at erect posture. So many jokes come to mind.
Full Name: Multon
Occupation: Dread Emissary/Thrall of @Taraus
Age: 20-ish?
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Class: Runewarden
Residence: Mhaldor
House: The Dread Legates
Appearance: He is a human of just about average height, broad shouldered, with stocky legs and thick sinewy arms that seem to hang too low at his sides. Restless, and frequently seen to dart back and forth, his bloodshot, grey eyes peer out from under a permanently creased brow, and are ringed by dark circles. His mouth and chin bristle with stubble of a coarse hard beard growing in uneven patches around his mouth and along his jaw. His complexion is one of that kind which never looks clean or wholesome with what bare skin that is visible beneath the caked on layer of grime having a pallid, unhealthy, colour to it. On his head he has stiff, black hair, standing jaggedly all over it, and growing down hill almost to his crooked, blunt nose. His hands, which are of a rough, coarse grain, are very dirty; his fingernails are crooked, chewed down, and yellow. His habit of gnawing on them constantly often reveals the few discoloured pegs that are yet scattered in his mouth. Burnt deep into the palm of his left hand is the brand of the city of Mhaldor.
Personality: Multon somehow manages to look awkward and out of place wherever he is, and it is doubtful anyone he has ever met could recall a single occasion on which he’d ever worn anything that appeared to fit properly. Though amiable enough in temperament, he seems ill at ease with people, and, in turn, most prefer to avoid his company: a tendency no doubt exacerbated by the perpetual psoriasis that has afflicted him, as well as his body odour, which, in all honesty, takes quite a bit of getting used to. Nevertheless he’d proven an able and valuable slave in his youth, due in no small part to his peculiar mentality. Not overly bright, but eager to please and doggedly literal in his approach to following orders, he became a useful buffer between whoever happened to be in charge of him at any given time and the more onerous aspects of his or her job. He never questions anything his betters say or do, apparently convinced that it all must be for the benefit of Mhaldor in some way
Notable Friends: Multon’s fellow protégé @Regen, @Vivessa, and he likes to think of his mentor @Taraus, @Melodie, @Titonus, @Xenna, @Herenicus, and most other Mhaldorians as being his friends as well. Although it is somewhat doubtful that many of them besides @Regen would list Multon as a friend in return, they are all aware of his existence to some extent, which is more than enough for Multon… who may or may not be fully aware of what the concept of 'friendship' entails.
Relatives: None that Multon knows of. If any were ever discovered they would probably deny the relation vehemently…
Parents: Probably dead, Multon doesn’t seem to care much…
Rivals/ Enemies: Most animals, the Leviathan (albeit it is somewhat of a one sided affair), Flower Maidens, and soap.
Opposite Faction Attitude: Multon is, for the most part, totally ignorant of the other factions in Achaea, though he knows that all of them are heretics who will be bent to the will of the Master or purged. Despite this, Multon doesn’t go looking for fights, as he would not presume to begin purging said heretics without specific orders. (That, and most of them would probably kill him if he tried…) All he knows is that the zealous followers of ‘the good’ are especially contemptible and that the devotes of ‘nature’ are the tree-hugging inhabitants of the forest, whose bizarre and depraved deviancy is best not described in polite company…
Loves: Philosophising about evil, reading, improving himself, and killing small animals.
Hates: small/baby/fluffy or otherwise ‘cute’ animals, children, trees, nature, blankets, and weakness of the mind or flesh.
Motivation: Ruthless, unthinking, devotion to the will of Lord Sartan, blind obedience to his superiors, and a thirst for annihilation.
Quotes: “The more it hurts… The more you know…” ; “I NEED MORE MUSHROOM SIGILS!” ; “Kitten? What kitten? I don’t know about any kittens… I mean bear cubs…” ; “Hey, is that the Leviathan? Oh sh-”
That love soon might end You are unbreaking
And be known in its aching Though quaking
Shown in this shaking Though crazy
Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
Occupation Retired, working towards the Lore path in the Outriders
Age 265 years old
Gender Female
Race: Atavian
Class: Runewarden
Residence: Cyrene
House: The Discurean Outriders
Appearance: She is a winged atavian. Standing at just a touch over five feet in height and is very curvaceous compared to most others of her race. What extra weight she carries has settled at her broad hips, generous bust, and everywhere else in a natural way. Her skin is a slight ivory, with a soft tan on her arms and face from her hours outdoors. Soft black hair is pulled back behind her, looping into a tight bun, which is only held together by a selily hairpin bearing an obsidian spider. Her dark tresses gradually changes to a dark burgundy with tendrils of tight ringlets falling from the bun. Her emerald-green eyes glisten softly as she takes in all that is around her, complemented with soft cheeks with small dimples, light pink lips. On her chest, above her left breast is intricate tattooing of a raven in mid-flight. Marked by crimson splatters on its wings and emerald eyes to match her own, each feather and curve of the raven has accents of silver silk threads sewn into the skin. Behind her, large wings rest against her back, nearly indistinguishable from her hair save for maroon spots akin to blood splatter over her ebony feathers. Curling around her biceps are twin tattoos of a golden moon surround by a myriad of silvered stars which twinkle as she moves. Should one's gaze slip to her right hand, the shape of a rose branded on the back of her hand between her thumb and forefinger.
Personality: Trilliana is one of those genuine, humble people that just wants to help and make others happy. It's her biggest flaw as well because she tends to put the interests of others, especially those she loves, in front of her. She has the mind of a great designer, artist, and politician, but she holds herself back because she feels she'd intimidate others. She has many secrets that she tries to hide, but as time goes on, she's started to feel they aren't as important and forgets about them. She loves wholly and deeply, friends, family, significant others, and lovers. She has a deep sense of duty instilled in her from being a Knight that she had hoped to get rid of when she left Cyrene, but due to events that went on in Eleusis, she felt unwelcome and knew she needed to return to the place she called home. She rarely shows pride, but it's usually tied to her being the last Knighted Scholar in the realms (The other two Knight Houses had done away with the Scholar path long before the Wardens and she was the last in the Wardens) Her time in the Beloved had the biggest impact on her life, she continues to try to spread Love and Beauty where she can, but Selene's death broke her spirit in many ways that tends to make her difficult to deal with - especially if she's in a relationship with them.
Notable Friends: @Bronislav, her boyfriend, @Verrucht, @Daslin, @Melodie (Even though they haven't spoken in years and she's quite worried about speaking with someone she considered a best friend) @Naomh, @Rinzai, @Pharue (her best friend since she was 18 or so) @Caoimhaen (I totally didn't forget... okay maybe I did, but damnit I'm on 4 hours of sleep here!)
Relatives: The Xanatovs and the Drakes - She learned early on that family doesn't mean that they won't hurt you, especially after Mhaldor and Cyrene's treaty had ended. She's had conversations ranging from being Head of Novices with her Aunt @Mycen, comparing the different Knight Houses with @Vadimuses and @Vasool (Her uncles, and she definitely misses speaking with them), and even religion, specifically Suffering with her half-brother @Nizaris (who she genuinely misses, even if she wouldn't outright say so). Her parents mean a lot to her, but she considers @Dairune and @Kotyonok to be closer to parents than anyone else.
Parents: Lufius and Rathasa
Rivals/ Enemies: For a time she considered @Hasar a rival, same for @Aegoth, though that was mainly when she was Alchemist and Magi. She tries to not make enemies, so if she has any, she doesn't know it
Opposite Faction Attitude: Trilliana is very open-minded, but doesn't care for the zealotry that she sees in Mhaldor, Targossas, and Eleusis to a lesser extent. She can understand why each faction does what they do, but it isn't something that interests her.
Loves: Learning about others, Divine, Lore, designing, helping others, and spending time with those she loves. Oh and Cyrene.
Hates: Feeling helpless, the fact that fighting is something she can't seem to grasp, and the fact that Selene is gone for good.
Motivation: Happiness, love, and knowledge. She considered Cyrene her biggest motivation, but after stressing out so much, she finally realized that she needs to focus inward for her happiness.
Quotes: She doesn't really have any
Full Name: Leliel Dicondron
Occupation: Resident snarky person? Sometimes gets drafted to do ambassador/diplomat type things.
Age: 36
Gender: Female
Race: Atavian
Class: Jester
Residence: A box somewhere in Delos.
House: Carnivalis Institute of Jestering
Appearance: She is a winged atavian, energetic and cheerful. Slightly below average height, she almost seems to bounce with a childish enthusiasm in keeping with her youthful, though extremely pale, looks. Her face seems perpetually split by a smile that she struggles to contain as she glances about, her cheeks slightly flushed and her eyes bright, the clear ruby color flecked with amber set under wispy lashes and angled brows. Her happy features are accentuated by a button nose and full mouth, her skin fair enough to qualify as porcelain. Her snow-white hair is pinned in a sloppy braided bun, stray strands falling to pool on her shoulders and frame her sharp cheekbones, curling down over her collarbone in an artless tumble. Her shoulders are narrow, sloping down into a quietly curvy frame, her build slim but athletic. A light dusting of freckles covers her shoulders, blending back into an expanse of slate grey feathers dappled in black.
Personality: Very happy-go-lucky, especially on the surface. She's always super cheerful and ready to crack a joke, but she's also the universal ear for anyone who's down, and surprisingly enough usually gives pretty sound advice. She operates on a seemingly simple and almost childish ideology of wanting to make people smile, but it's a bit deeper than that. She remains enthusiastic about the CIJ and what it does, almost obsessively so; it's made her housemates tell her to slow down on the ideas. She hates the fact that the CIJ doesn't really get as much respect as they could, so she tends to have an ongoing mini-crusade about it whenever it's brought up. She is extremely close to her family and friends, and she's always happy to meet new people. However, she's very blunt, and gods all help you if you wrong someone she cares about, because she'll get you somehow. Never start a philosophical conversation with her, because it probably won't end for a while.
Notable Friends: Too many to even list, meep.
Relatives: @Kasa, @Ginovianna
Parents: @Tharvis
Rivals/ Enemies: What are those?
Opposite Faction Attitude: None. Completely neutral.
Loves: Making people smile, firecracker raids, rum, rum, rum, spending time with friends/family, hunting, not having to inscribe, dark humour
Hates: People being narrowminded, unnecessary aggressiveness
Motivation: Personal philosophy
Quotes: "I didn't do it!"

Full Name: Amunet Neferkheremet Viatrix (previously Eruu'Yul, Shiva, Van Helsing, Stryganis, Cyndane-Keyte, but she prefers to forget about the lot of them.)
Occupation: Historian, ritualist, rhetorist, and theologian; former Demiurge (House Leader) of the Occultists, and current Keeper of the Iron Crown (one of the co-Orderheads of the Cult of Babel).
Age: A gentleman never asks, and a lady never tells.
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Class: Occultist
Residence: Ashtan - more specifically, Fruitless Orchards.
House: The Occultists
Appearance: She is a human. Her milk-white complexion, blessedly bereft of imperfections, stands in ghostly contrast to the jet-black tresses coiled into an elegant chignon at the base of her skull. Her eyes are large and round, set beneath slim brows and fringed sumptuously by ebon lashes, with chocolate irises that seem to smoulder against her high cheekbones. A third eye, sanguineous and imposing, peers from the apex of her forehead, crowning her brow like a blood-red jewel as it glances about with an eerie, prescient air. A pert, aristocratic nose slopes gracefully down the centre of her heart-shaped face, complementing the full lips perched imperiously above her chin. Platinum bars, their diamond-capped ends glittering wickedly, pierce the flesh between each of the vertebra of her spine, forming a decadent ladder that runs from the nape of her neck to the small of her back. Her regal carriage effortlessly makes the most of her winsome figure, belying, in tandem with the heeled shoes she often favours, her rather diminutive height. The Mark of the Twin stands out against the snowy flesh of her forearm, its lines precise and controlled, healed long ago into pearlescent scars.
Personality: Amunet is a bitch. There is really no sugar-coating it. She is every bit a lady, and will begin any interaction with a warm and welcoming mien, but, as her patience wanes, so does her composure. Subtle insults will begin to snake their way into her conversation, growing ever more blatant until finally she says something crass and has the offending party removed from her presence. Those who can endure her irascibility, however, soon come to find that she is not so bad in a private setting. She has a soft spot for her Occultist children, as well as for her proteges and her friends. Once you have earned Amunet's respect and loyalty, you have done so for life. This is part of why she finds betrayal (I'm looking at you, @Mathonwy, @Sothantos, and @Aodfionn!) so difficult to stomach. With those she cares about, she is, by turns, demanding and indulgent. She expects nothing short of excellence from those who surround her, but she is also willing to do, quite literally, whatever it takes to help them to realise their ambitions. She is a lifelong Occultist whose ferocious dedication and seemingly interminable service to the House has earned her a hardline reputation when it comes to the Oath, but recognition as one of the foremost ritualists and historians in Ashtan, if not Sapience as a whole. She is a devout Nihilist and a dedicated priestess of Babel whose religion plays a very important role in her daily life. She is respected as a stateswoman and politician, having served Ashtan in Ministry and Council capacities numerous times over the course of her life. Her public image, however, is somewhat marred by her temper and her alcoholism. Her open disdain for other religious traditions, and her passively racist tendencies, have likewise not done her any favours.
Notable friends: Dagon the barkeep, @Orklanishkal, @Icaru, @Flair, @Taraus, @Dunn, @Imyrr, @Grom, @Herenicus, @Zulah, @Aodfionn, @Arditi, @Tanris (may he rest in peace).
Beloved Relatives: @Morro, @Mariya, @Colivar, @Orfantal, @Sybilla (a protege and ward, whose adoption is officially acknowledged).
Parents: Beldaran and Lucid, but they are estranged.
Rivals/Enemies: Formerly there was a laundry list, but since her return, there are none of whom to speak...yet.
Faction Attitude: Chaos and Oblivion
Opposite Faction Attitude: Amunet tends to roll her eyes at other factions, finding their paradigms both shortsighted and lacking in ambition. She does not possess a seething hatred for any of her opposition, contrary to popular belief - merely an overwhelming sense of ennui.
Loves: Absinthe, Shala'jen 199, bliss, books, travel, poetry, art, performing rituals, meddling in politics, spending time in the chapel or the caverns of Enheduanna, and expensive things - as a Nihilist, Amunet understands the truth in the words, "You can't take it with you," and, thus, spends money like it is going out of style. She also loves to gamble, and will often make casual bets on the outcomes of world games, elections, and marriages.
Hates: Non-alcoholic beverages, most red meats, most Sirens and women of ill repute (@Taraus being a notable exception. ), and the men who keep their company; spiders, jesters, and most Horkvals.
Quotes: Too many to list.
Without a history section some of this may not make much sense, or feel incomplete but I’m going to leave pieces like parts of her personality out for ingame discovery.She is also mostly developed but I left room for others to influence her growth, so her personality may seem shorter then it really is.
Full Name: Tukiyo
Occupation: Mercenary
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Class: Blademaster
Residence: Wherever her contract takes her
House: None
Appearance: Dark brown bordering on black hair is cut at a mid-length that is brought back cleanly and tied together. The short length sprouting from the cord tying her hair together flares out into an almost flower like effect. Her face is soft with lips shy of full but that fit more appropriately on her appearance. The brown eyes staring out at the world, sharp with thick lashes and full brows. Her soft brown skin is decorated with a number of small scars that range from small dots of a healed bite mark or cuts and burns. Taunt muscles are balanced with fair curves that still give her a feminine appearance despite her athletic form. Sitting at a solid five foot five inches, this woman is toned with little fat for padding. Broad shoulders give her form a larger appearance as it leads into those arms reinforced with solid cords of muscle. Built, thick thighs that lead into solid calves speak to her leg strength. Her core loses to few as the definition of her decorates her stomach with clear lines to outline her abdominals. Despite the blatant work put into building the physical strength of her body, it is still kept proportional, toned and not in the slightest bulky. A black tattoo that is a bit hard to see against her tan skin is placed on her right shoulder. The design simple and straight forward, being a sword with two curved lines from the guard to the tip.
(I hate descs. I swear there are more typos in my desc then anything I’ve ever written)
Personality: Overly formal at times, Tukiyo was raised as a very specific type of mercenary. Her childhood to adulthood a long training session of a professional warrior. As such she takes the professionalism seriously and takes her contracts as almost unrelenting doctrine. Despite the loss of her company, she has chosen to stick with the path for personal reasons rather than join a city or change paths.
Dangerously stubborn, she will get herself killed and then train constantly until she manages to complete her contract. On the same vein as this, she is extremely goal oriented and has already planned out much of her goals for the next few years. There are a few exclusions however to this stubbornness. She will not chase those for a conversation if they make it troublesome to talk to them. If she feels like she is putting far more effort than her counterpart then she will quickly lose interest, despite how much she enjoys a pleasant conversation.
Notable Friends: Currently Lexa, and potentially Shirszae
Relatives: Orphan, as far as she cares she has no family with her company dead.
Parents: None Known
Rivals/ Enemies: Colchis and Umbrin for personal reasons.
Opposite Faction Attitude: Neutral due to her profession
Loves: Fine drinks, nice clothing, honour, letters, tradition, poker, chess, her sword Noble Storm, strength
Hates: Passive aggressiveness, wasting time, flat conversations, impersonal forms of communication(tells, messages, market, so forth. She finds them unsatisfying and disconnecting.), those who take her prey(Cyrenian’s are getting on her list slowly)
Motivation: At her base, there are two main motivations. Pride(by extension, a very strict honor code and loyalty) and survival.
Quotes:
