Character breakdown

Cyndarin · February 2014

I stole this from the Aetolia forums because I thought it was fun. SHAAAARE.

Character Name: Celina Nightshade

THE ESSENTIALS

Race: Mugwump

Gender: Female

Guild: Shadowdancers

City/Commune: Glomdoring

Order: Shikari

THE LOOK

Hair: Long, perfectly straight, and alabaster white.

Eyes: large and scarlet
Height: Average to slightly tall for her race

Build: Lithe and athletic. Dancer-esque.

Defining Features: Rather plain appearance. She always dresses in simple black attire and keeps her person rather non descript but composed.

Piercings: None
Scars: None

PERSONALITY

Strengths: Absolute personal confidence, emotionally detached and in control of her feelings, nautral affinity for leadership, absolute loyalty to a few individuals, deeply devoted to her faith.

Weaknesses: Very short fuse, often arrogant, ruled by her pride, sometimes blindly zealous about what she believes, very standoffish towards those she does not know, extremely posessive, intense dislike of the politics required of leadership, prone to challenge authority.

Attitude: Distant and arrogant, very cold and distant most of the time. Extremely passioniate and fiery when incited.
Morals: Absolutely none. Morality conflicts with her devotion to Glomdoring and Mother Night. For those two things, she will do absolutely anything.
Pet Peeves: Insecure leadership, people who are afraid of conflict, politics.

Best way to piss me off: Challenge her authority.
Best way to get on my good side: Fight with her.

FAVORITES

Color: Black
Tertiary: healing

Tertiary Skill: radiate auric/radiate phlegmatic (aeon immunity)

Primary Skill: Nightgaze

God/Goddess: Nocht, for his awakening of Mother Night. She has never really forgiven Shikari.

Guild Master/House Head (all time): Astraea as Queen.
Artifact (don't have to own): Magic damage rune

Commodity: Silk
Animal: Black widow. They eat their husbands.

Item owned: Her medallion
Village/forest/region: Waste Facility with all the zombies

NPC: Rowena Nightshade

Memory: Fighting alongside Rowena against the dominators

Song: She does not sing. The one wiccans sing when they summon their fae?

MINDSET

Goals: Eventually convert to Nocht.
Amibitions: The ever elusive avatar

Nemesis: Tacita

Rival: Doesn't really have one

Best Friend: Astraea is the only person she confides in

Worst personal achievement: Abandoning the sinking Mag ship for Glomdoring in a remarkably treacherous way.

Proudest moment: Ascendancy.
Most shameful moment: Rage quitting Glomdoring and storming off to Gaudi because of an obnoxious OH.

If I could make one wish: Night names me her fourth avatar :>

SUMMARY

Why you should hate her: If you are not a member of Glomdoring, she will kill you for any reason. Or for no reason at all. Or your friends. Or your loved ones. She's also bluntly unapologetic about it.

Why you should love her: She makes a pretty convincing Queen bitch, if you're into that sort of thing. If you are one of the few she lets get close, she will move mountains for you.

Why you should fear her: She has a keen understanding of her worth and abilities, and will push and manipulate every boundary as far as it can possibly be stretched to get her way.

Why he is harmless: She is getting very lazy in her old age.

If he ruled the world, you'd best expect: Epic griefing.

Daraius · February 2014

These kinds of things usually make me feel like my character is super boring. I'll give it a shot and see what turns up.

Tacita · February 2014

This was actually quite fun, yes.

Character Name: Maerad Windwhisper

THE ESSENTIALS

Race: Trill

Gender: Female

Guild: Institute

City/Commune: Hallifax

Order: Isune

THE LOOK

Hair: None, she's a trill! But her headfeathers are cloud coloured.

Eyes: Vibrant green

Height: A little taller than most trill

Build: Slightly ungainly, but slender and with the fragile elegance of trill.

Defining Features: The only natural colouring in her is her eyes - the rest of her is monochrome.

Piercings: None

Scars: None

PERSONALITY

Strengths: She has an excellent sense of empathy and compassion, artistry, is an eternal optimist, and has a far higher intelligence than she gives herself credit for.

Weaknesses: She is exceptionally clumsy, naïve, cowardly, sensitive and far too shy and timid. She is utterly terrified of violence. She is incapable of truly thinking badly of anyone, no matter their transgressions.

Attitude: She is gentle and polite, and cares deeply about the wellbeing of everyone.

Morals: There is good in everyone, so everyone should be good. She is a pacifist and takes this quite seriously.

Pet Peeves: The tendency of everyone in the Basin to turn to violence first and thinking second.

Best way to piss me off: Be warmongering and sadistic.

Best way to get on my good side: Everyone is on her good side.

FAVORITES

Color: Grey or very pale blue

Tertiary: Healing

Tertiary Skill: Farheal

Primary Skill: Waterwalk. What? It's really useful!

Location: The top of the Tower of Beauty in Isune's realm

God/Goddess: Isune, obviously

Guild Master/House Head (all time): @Irillia

Artifact: Jeweller's hammer

Commodity: Gems

Animal: Volucer

Item owned: The painting Irillia did for her

Village/forest/region: Estelbar. They're all so nice!

NPC: Volucer (yes, he should totally be mentioned twice)

Memory: Going to visit Inedra with @Zyphora for the first time since @Allyrianne took her there.

Song: I don't believe she actually has one

Drink: Tea, obviously

MINDSET

Goals: Make it into the Assembly of the Aurora

Ambitions: Become a Professor of Medicine

Nemesis: She doesn't really have one

Rival: @Tisianna (because siblings should always rival one another, rather than there being any ill-feeling: mostly she tends to compare her art to Tisi's)

Best Friend: Volucer

Idol: Zyphora

Best personal achievement: Passing her Bachelor's exam/getting into the middle circle of Isune's order

Worst personal achievement: I'm not sure what is meant by worst here, but she regrets hiding her 'romantic' problems from people for as long as she did

Proudest moment: When Volucer first called her his friend

Most shameful moment: Any time where she has felt looked down upon for her naïve optimism

If I could make one wish: She would have Yomoigu remember how to heal the pain in His soul, so that He can walk back into the embrace of His friends (okay, one friend in particular)

SUMMARY

Why you should hate her: Because nothing she believes can ever truly come to fruition, and much of what she does is futile and pointless

Why you should love her: Because she loves you, and truly believes that you can overcome all the bad things you have ever done. You just have to remember how to heal.

Why you should fear her: Because her capacity to love, nurture and be compassionate is infinite

Why she is harmless: Because she would never truly be able to deliberately hurt anyone, physically or emotionally

If he ruled the world, you'd best expect: Everyone to be nice to one another.

Attitude: Generally very calm and grandfatherly, but spiteful when angry.

Morals: Life is sacred, and kill only when necessary--when defending others, never initiating and attacking.

Proudest moment: Becoming a Totem Warrior (fine, and getting married)

Most shameful moment: See worst personal achievement

If I could make one wish: Make @Lillie come home

SUMMARY

Why you should love her: He will never abandon you or break his loyalty to you.

Why you should fear her: Lots of powerful people love him and will do anything for him.

Why she is harmless: He can't actually kill anyone. Seriously.

Character: Daraius Shevat

THE ESSENTIALS

Height: Just under 3 meters, which should be tall for a lobo. One of the manifestations of demidivinity.

Build: Solid, but athletic, like a martial artist

Defining Features: Signature black suit, placid expression, unconvincing smile

Piercings: None

Scars: None

Tattoos: None

PERSONALITY

Strengths: Good at bookkeeping, knowledgeable about cultural matters and stage mechanics, intensely loyal to Shevats and Hallifax, offers dispassionate advice

Attitude: Unfailingly polite, not easily agitated, stilted emotional responses and facial expressions

Morals: Believes sincerity is essential for personal harmony, i.e. actions, thoughts, and speech must be perfectly consistent with each other

Pet Peeves: Being touched. And people who make excuses for submitting to their low emotions

Best way to piss him off: Lie

Best way to get on his good side: Serve the Collective, invite him to tea

FAVORITES

Color: Beryl

Tertiary: Psychometabolism

Tertiary Skill: Regeneration

Primary Skill: Ka Tahto?

Location: Golden Serenity Teahouse

God/Goddess: None. He doesn't like gods much.

Guild Master/House Head (all time): Nihmriel (as Shevat Written Chancellor) (is that cheating?)

Artifact (don't have to own): Magic quill

Commodity: Leather (for origami)

Animal: Shant, his original thunderbird (dead); Shantu, his current gryphon

Most shameful moment: Giving Sylandra a bewildered stare when she explained that she bought opera gloves so they could hold hands while watching a play! =((

If he could make one wish: One last chance to hug Sylandra

SUMMARY

Why you should hate him: You shouldn't. Hate is an untenable base emotion.

Why you should love him: He will always be honest with you. His natural loboshigaru loyalty is intense and earnest.

Why you should fear him: Hemi?

Why he is harmless: Apart from aforementioned lack of combat ability, his belief in the natural supremacy of the Collective gives him an extremely patient outlook on Hallifax's rise to dominance over the Basin, so he won't be starting any crusades

If he ruled the world, you'd best expect: Decorum!

Talan · February 2014

Character Name: Talan Ysav'rai

THE ESSENTIALS

Race: Trill

Gender: Female

Guild: Symphonium

City/Commune: Hallifax

Order: Isune

THE LOOK
Hair: Feathers - white/silver-grey/black

Eyes: Huge and black
Height: Tall

Build: Narrow, angular

Defining Features: Her wings and her perfect nose

Piercings: None
Scars: None visible.

PERSONALITY
Strengths: Gives most people a chance (but usually only one), tries to match them to their talents. Expects a lot from others, but helps them deliver.

Weaknesses: Lacks the zeal of younger people. Probably too sarcastic/belittling. Very judgmental once judgments are made.

Attitude: quietly megalomaniacal
Morals: Warped, but extremely prevalent. She does not like to subject people to hardship, except for those she feels would benefit emotionally from severe, prolonged suffering. She tries very hard to not be petty, and to encourage others to not take the small shots.
Pet Peeves: people who seek attention

Best way to piss me off: Do nothing when you could be doing something.
Best way to get on my good side: Thanklessly and contentedly toil away for the benefit of our mutual interests.

FAVORITES

Color: Grey, Rose Quartz
Tertiary: Aethercraft

Tertiary Skill: Pilot Glide

Primary Skill: Blanknote

Location: Her garden in Taisgeal

God/Goddess: Isune and Viravain

Guild Master/House Head (all time): herself
Artifact (don't have to own): Mask of Esteemed Beauty

Commodity: Marble
Animal: cloud mantas and black, angry ponies.

Item owned: a splayed spider brooch of polished haematite
Village/forest/region: Icewynd

NPC: Marani Veloske

Memory: so many

Song: Saaga's dual song, Sidd's old Wyrden-and-I-know-it song, her own songs: Kethuru, the Duck, Octo

Drink: green tea with floral accents (rose, jasmine, orange blossom)

MINDSET

Goals: To win over the people in Hallifax who still see her as a barbarian by sheer force of will/their ultimate capitulation. To become TA with the Seal of Beauty (uncontested, because the entire world just decides to let her have it).
Amibitions: A cult maybe, but it's a ridiculously selfish ambition, so she would never voice it and would feel guilty if she got one.

Nemesis: It used to be Ixion, but we're kinda friendly now, so that's weird. I don't know. I guess there's a vacancy.

Rival: You need peers to have rivals. *preen*

Best Friend: Synkarin, Vivet

Idol: Isune

Best personal achievement: Nothing really. Maybe her splendours.
Worst personal achievement: Flying with the rod.

Proudest moment: Her daughter, Narynth, becoming Regent
Most shameful moment: One specific instance of jealousy.

If I could make one wish: Everyone would agree with her at all times, do whatever she says, and do it well.

SUMMARY

Why you should hate her: She has very little time for you or your BS drama.

Why you should love her: Categorical imperative.

Why you should fear her: I'm told the stern look is mildly intimidating.

Why she is harmless: Her approach to both combat and politics these days can best be summed up with "what is this, I don't even."

If he ruled the world, you'd best expect: A balance of competent and passionate people spread evenly across all orgs, with dynamic and persistently changing alliances, and high maintenance costs in correlation to vaster holdings. The well of souls would never be empty, and a larger percentage of the Fates' time would be spent making sure quests aren't broken. Thax4Hallifax, and a pigeon in every pot.

Also @Everiine, I would call standing up to your entire commune for the cause of protecting nature your -finest- moment, not your worst. It has always been the thing I respected Everiine most for, especially suffering the (unjust) consequences.

Kethaera · February 2014

I've wanted to do something like this for a while:

Character Name: Kethaera An'Ryshe

THE ESSENTIALS

Race: Faeling

Gender: Female

Guild: Harbingers

City/Commune: Glomdoring

Build: Slight, non-athletic, youthful.

Defining Features: Nothing in particular, always tries to dress in elegant, attractive clothing.

Piercings: None
Scars: None

PERSONALITY

Strengths: Dedicated to Glomdoring, her family, and her guild. Friendly and open-minded, tries to get along with and understand the views of everyone, including those not of the commune.

Weaknesses: Still very much unsure of herself, though that's been changing a bit lately with her role as Ambassador. Kethaera views her tendency to be too emotional a weakness, but that's mostly because she idolizes @Tacita. Naive, tries too hard to please everyone.

Attitude: Perpetually cheerful and optimistic, believes nothing truly terrible will ever happen(or if it does, the Wyrd will overcome it)
Morals: Generally wants to avoid hurting others, dislikes conflict except when necessary... but borderline pathological liar with the best of intentions.
Pet Peeves: Laziness, people who admit weakness and/or do nothing to better themselves

Drink: Tea

MINDSET

Goals: Explore everything and make as many friends as possible
Ambitions: Beyond the first two, none yet(at least, from my character's perspective)

Nemesis: @Parua, quite possibly

Rival: @Delandes, or was

Best Friend: For all her friendliness, there's no one that Kethaera trusts 100%, so no one I'd call a best friend... a fact which causes her stress, at times

Idol: Tacita

Best personal achievement: Becoming Ambassador.
Worst personal achievement: Not sure yet

Proudest moment: Becoming a Herald.
Most shameful moment: First conversation with Parua. Our relationship is complicated...

SUMMARY

Why you should hate her: What's to hate? Kethaera would never hate you!

Why you should love her: She's adorable, so I've been told.

Why you should fear her: She enjoys manipulating people, for any reason or no reason at all.

Why she is harmless: Everything she does is for your own good.

If she ruled the world, you'd best expect: Flowers for everyone... after we burn all the cities to ash.

Defining Features: Spotted skunk markings, paw-hands and true paws for feet, long bushy tail, 18 inches tall

Why you should love her: She is earnest, kind, affectionate, and hard working.

Why you should fear her: You shouldn't, she's really harmless

Why she is harmless: No combat abilities, overly trusting, did I mention 18" tall?

If she ruled the world, you'd best expect: Her to quickly find somebody more suited to the job.

Everiine · February 2014

@Talan it's a double-edged sword. What he went through afterwards, being enemied to all that and still trying to defend Ethereal Serenwilde while the Ladies attacked him, his execution, and what it took to regain his honour were all awesome things. But it's listed as his worst personal achievement because of all the innocent death and destruction it caused.

Maligorn · February 2014

This does look like fun.

Character Name: Maligorn Shevat
THE ESSENTIALS

Race: Furrikin
Gender: Male
Guild: Aeromancers
City/Commune: Hallifax
Order: Isune

THE LOOK

Hair: Not really hair, but really messy (see: split ends, irregular cuts) headfur.
Eyes: Dark green
Height: average for a furrikin (3 ft)
Build: short and tubby
Defining features: a squirrel tail that's taller than he is
Piercings: none (yet?)
Scars: Lots of scars on his fingers, little scars criss-crossing everywhere from constant experimentation. Fur missing and cut, that sort of thing.

PERSONALITY

Strengths: A bright individual with aptitude for both science and art, with a wit and friendliness that he tries to extend to everyone. Also some serious devotion to the Commonwealth. Makes sure to moderate intellectual/philosophical conversations by being a devil's advocate if needed.
Weaknesses: Can be a tad pretentious, can't really comprehend how other organisations reject the communist collectivist utopia that is Hallifax and can be therefore a little snobbish about it. Also very excitable, prone to walking straight into danger for the sake of experimentation. Low self esteem. Nervous tics.
Attitude: Generally off on his own tangent, takes a little bit of prodding to get his mind to return to the world at large. Friendly, if nervous.
Morals: Strives to be a staunch Collectivist, but is often an intuitive thinker rather than a rational one. Would prefer benevolent assimilation over aggressive and warlike. Ultimately follows the chain of command unwaveringly in decision-making.
Pet Peeves: People that invade his personal space without permission, rudeness, boorishness.
Best way to piss him off: Obfuscate the Truth deliberately, tailoring the Truth to serve ones own ends.
Best way to get on his good side: Demonstrate high levels of loyalty, if not to the Collective, then to your own organisation. (It's all academic anyway, since everything will converge under Hallifaxian harmony eventually).

FAVORITES

Color: Purple (aubergine specifically!)
Tertiary: Telepathy
Tertiary Skill: Interference (electricity style)
Primary Skill: Aerochemantics Aurora (won't see that in combat much at all, though)
Location: the lower observation deck on the zeppelin on Air
God/Goddess: Isune
Guild Master/House Head (all time): Vivet Pavok (hard to see Irillia as an actual member of the Board! She's still awesome though.)
Artifact: silver jeweller's hammer (much want)
Commodity: silver (best conductor of electricity in the house!)
Animal: Volucer
Item owned: beam generator
Village/forest/region: Clarramore Cloud Gardens
NPC: Ai'dayi Lars actually, Cosette Cloudwalker
Memory: watching Contraption with Daraius
Song: That Volucer song that Talan composed (for now, at least)
Drink: harmonious pearl white tea

MINDSET

Goals: has a list of projects, but only one Project
Ambition: seeing his Project through while simultaneously proving the superiority of Collectivism by example.
Nemesis: none
Rival: none
Best friend: Kiradawea Startail
Idol: Daraius (for real)
Best personal achievement: hosting a game of Vengeance in which Isune Herself participated, winning Magnagoran Vengeance as the serial killer
Worst personal achievement: grating on the alliance with Celest and Serenwilde by allowing Marcella to play Vengeance and later by claiming Estelbar for Hallifax in its most recent revolt despite Seren's village feelings (though I suppose winning the village isn't the worst thing in the world, no)
Proudest moment: becoming a full member of the Centre for Aeromantic Engineering, finishing the Statue of Tzaraziko for Hallifax
Most shameful moment: being rather rude to a Gaudiguchian (Thayan?) who was loitering just outside Stewartsville when Hallifax held it and it was close to revolt. Easily justifiable, but he still berates himself for lacking in civility
If he could make one wish: that his Project begin in earnest

SUMMARY

Why you should hate him: Can be a pompous, calculating rationalist with little regard for communes or other similarly barbaric cities that rely far too much on the teachings of Spirits/half-formed instead of the Truth. Also because static field.
Why you should love him: I dunno, some people think he's adorable. Also because he strives for compassion in all his dealings and wants to use aerochem to make the world a better, cleaner place!
Why you should fear him: cloudkill catalysts grr
Why he is harmless: 11 con, level 2 fire damage malus (also because he's a big softie)
If he ruled the world, you'd best expect: AGGRESSIVE UTOPIA

That took a lot more time than I was expecting.

Lillie · February 2014

Character Name: Lillie n'Lochli
THE ESSENTIALS

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Guild:Nihilists
City/Commune:Magnagora
Order: (none)

THE LOOK

Hair: Blonde, but gradually turning to an indigo colour (see avatar)

Eyes:Dark blue, with bright pink encroaching. One sclera is black, the other about halfway there.
Height: 4.5"

Build: Pithy and weak. Would snap like a twig if you looked at him wrong.

Defining Features: The half-colour of his hair, as well as the oddness of his eyes - these are signs of his corruption. I rewrite his desc with each new pact, by the time all's said and done he'll look like my avatar does.

Piercings: Both ears.

Scars: Lots of emotional ones, centered mostly around heartbreak.

PERSONALITY

Strengths: Possessed of a greater fortitude and determination than even he believes. Good at writing, lover of ritual, and evidently very wise, giving great counsel.

Weaknesses: No faith in himself, shy as can be, seldom takes the initiative, pretty easy to bully around (though less and less so as time goes by). A sucker for a pretty face - or anyone who makes him feel loved and useful.

Attitude: Meek and timid one might say, but he also can be manipulative and cunning. Who can be certain when that shyness is genuine, and when it's a facade so nobody suspects him?

Morals: LEAVE THE FAE ALOOOOOONE

Pet Peeves: People who can't see past the stutter, people who don't read, people who are in it only for fighting, fighting fighting and don't pay proper reverence to the DL's (or, indeed, the fae or Mother Moon, but there's been less of that as time goes by)

Best way to piss me off: Lillie doesn't really get pissed off.

Best way to get on my good side: Do rituals and read books - particularly Lillie's books!

FAVORITES

Color: Gold

Tertiary: Healing

Tertiary Skill: Heal

Primary Skill: Lillie kind of misses his imp - it was much less intimidating than the archdemon that now follows him around!

Location: Moon Falls/Lake

God/Goddess:

Guild Master/House Head (all time): Probably Aubrey/Sylphas; they did a lot for him during his formative years. Or perhaps Kelysa.

Artifact: u wot m8

Commodity: Cloth

Animal: Wyverns

Item owned: The copy of the Lunar Breviary that he still has.

Village/forest/region: Ptoma/Serenwilde/Mt. Zoaka

NPC: Luciphage

Memory: He romanticizes his relationship/engagement with Lendren a lot, and often gets nostalgic about it. But the ongoing one with Marcella is a fresher and thus more poignant one.

Song: uh...

Drink: Peach tea (Thanks, @Aiyana)

MINDSET

Goals: Somewhere between "argue my way into being accepted back to Serenwilde" (which is waning) and "teach others of the oft-overlooked Supreme Master". On a lesser note, put out just as many writings as Nariah and Sthai, the celebrated and oft-praised Magnagoran authors of old. (And, of course, writings that are just as good)

Ambitions: Gain Luciphage's favor, in return for the Supreme Master's aid. Learn about the DLs and how their teachings can be reconciled with those of Moon (From a player standpoint: get corrupted and twisted into someone who's much more of a typical Nihilist/Magnagoran)

Nemesis: @Parua and @Laysus (in his mind anyway)

Rival:Well, there's @Tesla, by her own admission. Aside from that, Lillie views @Esca not so much as a rival but someone to keep an eye on.

Best Friend: @Marcella I guess?

Idol: Uh, Luciphage I guess?

Best personal achievement: All of his books are things that he's proud of, most notably the Moondancers' Influencing Primer and Creatures of the Elemental Planes. Also he feels rather proud of sticking to his principles even when it cost him his Guild and Commune.

Worst personal achievement: How thoroughly he embarassed himself when trying get Lendren to not break off the engagement/take him back.

Proudest moment: Some of the rituals that he did for Serenwilde, and the glowing praise given to him in the communefavours. @Riluna is notable for handing out lovely compliments and giving sound advice (and as such is one of Lillie's main influences as well)

Most shameful moment: See worst personal achievement

If I could make one wish: Be the person @Marcella knows you can be.

SUMMARY

Why you should hate him: He's shy and gossamer, which is evidently quite grating to the wrong people.

Why you should love him: Does being cute count? Because Lillie has a lot of that going for him. Additionally he's really knowledgeable and wise once he gets to know you and is comfortable having deeper conversations with you.

Why you should fear him: Because of his wife! Alternately, he'll gladly tear you down and refuse to let you build yourself back up again - that is, if such can be done through the power of the written word. If you're not the kind to spend time in libraries, you have nothing to fear!

Why he is harmless: "Will snap like a twig if you look at him wrong." Sucks at combat (though this might change in the future, who knows?)

Edit: For some reason it saved about 1/3 of Everiine's. Oops.

Karlach · February 2014

Character Name: Morkarion

THE ESSENTIALS

Race: Orclach

Gender: Male

Guild: Ebonguard

City/Commune: Glomdoring

Order: Shikari

THE LOOK

Hair: Shaved, save for a black topknot. Also has a long braid goatee.

Eyes: Small (more due to constantly squinting) and red.
Height: Tall, roughly 8ft, no one's ever really bothered measuring him for a suit so..

Build: Muscular and bulky.

Defining Features: Mostly the sheer size and the space he takes up, especially when he's usually surrounded by small Faelings.

Piercings: None
Scars: Plenty, none that stand out among the others.

PERSONALITY

Strengths: Stubbornness, conviction and a ruthless determination to get things done.

Weaknesses: Exceptionally short temper combined with next to no patience for idiots, timewasters and general stupidity. His stubbornness can lead to bullheaded rushes forward when the right choice should be to concede and withdraw.

Attitude: Blunt, unrelenting and very much in your face.
Morals: If there is a job to do then get it done, by any means necessary.
Pet Peeves: Slackers who hide behind the hard work of others, cowards, hypocrites (by his perception of what is true) people who waste his time, cupcakes and people who ask really stupid questions.

Best way to piss me off: Ask him if you can ask him a question.
Best way to get on my good side: Simply nodding and getting on with a job, no bitching, no messing it up, taking responsibility and getting results. Also you could give him cookies.

FAVORITES

Colour: Silver
Tertiary: Night

Tertiary Skill: Drink

Primary Skill: Hackdown

Location: Amidst Shikari's memories.

God/Goddess: Orlachmar, and the set of values Morkarion strives to live by on a day to day basis.

Guild Master/House Head (all time): Shikha as his first Supreme Commander of the Ur'guard.
Artifact (don't have to own): The Ur'stone

Commodity: Steel

NPC: Ingwe

Memory: Being tasked by Morgfyre to poison the Durian tree.

MINDSET

Best personal achievement: Avatar and Ascendancy in a relatively close time frame.

Most shameful moment: The reasons for his divorce.

If I could make one wish: Orlachmar to come back and lead his kin into an age of dominance and glory.

SUMMARY

Why you should hate him: Jeez, take your pick. If you're in the north, he's a violent ruthless asshole with no moral compass and a love for destruction and slaughter. If you're in the south he's a stubborn tenacious prick who doesn't do empathy and has no time for excuses.

Why you should love him: His ruthless stubbornness means he has an effective knack for getting the job done.

Why you should fear him: His ruthless stubbornness means he has an effective knack for getting the job done.

Why he is harmless: Svorai's rather effective at keeping him on a tight leash at times and other goals require a seemingly impossible series of events to take place.

If he ruled the world, you'd best expect: A complete meritocracy based form of government where those who do are given the tools and powers to carry out an effective job, and those who do not, or will not, find themselves at the bottom of the pile in irrelevancy.

Aerys · February 2014

Character Name: Aerys Tarsuhl

THE ESSENTIALS

Race: Lucidian (for all intents and purposes), fondness for Lobo race/form

Gender: Female

Guild: Institute

City/Commune: Hallifax

Order: Isune

THE LOOK

Hair: Shiny silver crystal (or fur), losing luster in her older age. 'Hair' falls to shoulder length, usually with charms of one sort or another tied into it. In her lucidian shape, these charms are embedded within.

Eyes: Lambent beryl yellow

Height: Pretty short, just shy of four feet tall

Build: A little on the skinny side, but fit.

Defining Features: Though Lucidian in race, she still retains her lobo shape. It just happens to be crystal, these days.

Piercings: Ears

Scars: None

PERSONALITY

Strengths: She hates having idle paws, and is trying her best to always be pursuing some sort of goal, long-term or otherwise. She hates being a leader, but aspires to be the best among the followers. She loves having orders to follow.

Weaknesses: When it comes to leading group combat, she second-guesses herself too often, to a crippling extent. Her greatest fear in life is "being useless."

Attitude: She can be short-tempered sometimes, but usually is compassionate and helpful.

Morals: Nobody's useless. Everyone has worth.

Pet Peeves: The tendency of inordinate amounts of military power and strength to seemingly group up on the side that she's not a part of.

Best way to piss me off: Instigate conflict to cure boredom

Best way to get on my good side: Thank her for something she's done. A lot of times, she can feel thankless.

FAVORITES

Color: Green and silver

Tertiary: Runes

Tertiary Skill: Benign Prophesy

Primary Skill: Harmonics Emerald

Location: The courtyard built 'outside' her manse.

Artifact: Emerald Cubix

Drink: Whiskey

MINDSET

Goals: To see Hallifax rise in military strength

Ambitions: To create additions to the Institute that make it a really fun sort of academic experience

Nemesis: Either too many, or none. Depends on how you look at it.

Rival: For the moment, I'd call it at @Raikogen. Just because he's my unwitting competition at bringing power in.

Best Friend: Besides @Rivius, @Zyphora in recent times.

Idol: From way back in the day, @Iasmos

Best personal achievement: The sense of accomplishment after finishing the Spire of Dionamus the first time.

Worst personal achievement: Voluntarily leaving Vernal Ascendance and the organisation she was tied to through it.

Proudest moment: Any moment her pack increases its number.

Most shameful moment: Any of the times she's led a group into complete suicide (When accidental, specifically. There have been deliberate times.)

If I could make one wish: Order conflicts/wars would be a separate mechanic, and Order affinity wouldn't be quite as closely tied to cities/communes as they are. Gods/Goddesses would have a more direct system of ordering, managing Order members. Perfect for those micro-manager Gods.

SUMMARY

Why you should hate her: Why would you hate her? Not saying there aren't reasons to hate her, I just can't think of any.

Why you should love her: Because she's easy to get along with. She loves talking with people about their passions. She likes being able to help anyone in need however they need it.

Why you should fear her: Because she can handle herself in a fight? I suppose? See "Why you should hate her."

Why she is harmless: Deep down, she doesn't like conflict and wished it wasn't necessary.

If she ruled the world, expect: Nothing. She doesn't want it.

Build: willowy, no real curves to speak of.

Defining Features: Her wings, aqua, cerulean to midnight blue until it turns to midnight black at the edges.

Piercings: None

Scars: None

PERSONALITY

Strengths: Isn't afraid to work hard for what she wants, works for love and duty, not for being thanked or noticed.

Weaknesses: Has a fear of making mistakes and not being able to correct them. Is still unfamiliar with the world around her in a lot of ways.

Attitude: Generally helpful, generally compassionate. Shy or timid a lot of times (leads back to the making mistakes, mostly in what she says), does not like drama but isn't as blunt as some about it.

Morals: Follows the Laws of Hallifax without exception, which can make her a little rigid but her morals generally lead her to the good side of things, this doesn't mean, of course, that she isn't cold or calculating when need be, she simply prefers not to be if she can help it. Truth is a very big part of her life, however. When asked for it, she gives it.

Pet Peeves: Not knowing when to be extremely formal or more open. Dislikes people touching her without asking unless they already know that they have permission.

Best way to piss me off: Have absolutely zero common sense, be a drama-llama or be completely lazy, uncouth.

Best way to get on my good side: Answer her questions, truthfully and don't just brush her aside. She's still learning. Speak to her politely and keep yourself wrapped in self-control.

FAVORITES

Color: Cerulean, Black

Tertiary Skill: Doesn't have an opinion yet.

Primary Skill: Composition

Location: Transcendental Aviary (Hallifax's garden) or the willow tree in Isune's realm.

God/Goddess: Trillillial

Guild Master/House Head (all time): Um, not sure yet, but maybe all of the current Hallifax guildleaders? @Entrias, @Irillia, @Vivet and @Allyrianne

Artifact: No idea.

Commodity: Wood.

Animal: The annoying but adorable little firefly squid.

Item owned: Her journal.

Village/forest/region: Caoimhe Dell

NPC: Not sure yet!

Memory: The Ascension Knowledge Challenge and waiting with her breath held through most of it while hoping for Ushaara and Kiradawea to get correct answers.

Song: Rise, composed by herself

Drink: Tea. She's an addict. @Daraius is an enabler.

MINDSET

Goals: To work her way into Hallifax's politics in the hopes of helping to change things there for the better, to become a somewhat decent combatant and make all those who have been teaching her proud. To eventually be a demigod, simply because she feels that it's almost required to really help Hallifax in bigger ways. To write books, maybe some stagework, experiment even though she's a Symphonist.

Ambitions: To win prestige for Hallifax one day, to gather knowledge.

Nemesis: Doesn't have one yet.

Rival: In a friendly way, Misbiopy, they push each other to work hard by having a friendly 'passing of each other' in exp ranks.

Best Friend: @Pejat

Idol: @Talan, @Vivet, @Elanorwen, @Irillia, @Zyphora, @Kiradawea, @Aerys and a few more.

Best personal achievement: To date- actually getting some points in the Knowledge challenge.

Worst personal achievement: Not really sure yet.

Proudest moment: Figuring out how to do an honours quest without, well, any help really.

Most shameful moment:Not sure yet!

SUMMARY

Why you should hate her: I think she is too new around the Basin to really have anyone that hates her, but that'll probably change one day. I don't have a reason right now why someone should.

Why you should love her: She's loyal, will more than likely trust you until you betray it but still give you an opportunity to win it back. She won't hide the truth from you but will express it in tactful ways.

Why you should fear her: I'm not really sure anyone should fear her right now!

Why she is harmless: She is kinda squishy and prefers to poke your brain rather than your body.

If she ruled the world, expect: Honestly, expect her to abdicate. Ruling the world isn't something she'd ever want.

Daraius · February 2014

Animal: Her shadowfiend hyena. @Ried Description plz?

Ried · February 2014

Daraius said:

Animal: Her shadowfiend hyena. @Ried Description plz?

Tenebrous whorls and eddies shift across this hyena's bowed form, ceaseless and mesmerising in their

movements. They drip and bleed into the ground and split from the coarse fur in smoky wisps, as if

the beast was wrought from the shadows themselves. He measures nine hands at the shoulder and cuts

an unwieldy frame, his back hunched and sloping to accommodate the mismatched height of his legs.

His features are repulsive, with saliva dribbling from between yellowed fangs, a blunt muzzle

flecked with dried blood, and eyes of a sickly hue alight with wicked mirth. He is called 'Kivuli.'

Tacita · February 2014

Take two.

Character Name: Tacita An'Ryshe

THE ESSENTIALS

Race: Changeling

Gender: Female

Guild: Harbingers

City/Commune: Glomdoring

Order: Nocht

THE LOOK

(I'm going to answer this for faeling, as it was her first race, but obviously it varies widely depending on what race she actually is...)

Hair: A messy black bob made half of straight, spiky locks and half of tight spiral curls

Eyes: Pale pink, slightly too big

Height: Two foot tall

Build: Boyish, slightly too thin but still acrobatically muscular

Defining Features: Tattoos of thorny vines that cover all of her skin

Piercings: Three in each ear

Scars: Many scars on her palms from using her blood to cast shadowfire - one primary scar on her right palm from her bloodbonding to @Xenthos

PERSONALITY

Strengths: Eternal (if not unwavering) loyalty to the Wyrd and Nocht. The teensy tiny bit of Nocht within her as His Avatar. Her love for Xenthos, Synkarin and her children. The ability to listen to everyone's opinions and make the best decision for everyone. Being quietly nurturing and concerned about everyone's wellbeing.

Weaknesses: Nocht, Xenthos, Xynthin, Synkarin. Arrogance and selfishness. The tendency to be hypocritical about her emotions and mortality. A very short fuse about her own weaknesses. A total inability to let go of what happened with the Wheel. Can be stubborn about certain things.

Attitude: Either entirely devoid of emotion, in which case she can be quite blunt and to-the-point (and, I am told, intimidating) - or her 'mortal self', which is mischievous, desperately interested in people and the world around her, and (I hope) quite fun.

Morals: She genuinely believes that it is hideously dangerous for mortals to rise to any form of divinity without tempering their mortal trappings, especially their emotions. She believes that the world will one day be covered by the Wyrd which will help it to evolve, heal and endure.

Pet Peeves: People who don't consider the consequences of their actions, influencing guards at the nexus without asking the permission of those present.

Best way to piss me off: Call her a traitor, call her a hypocrite, raise the Wheel of the Goloths.

Best way to get on my good side: Show an interest in Nocht or Mahalla. Serve the Wyrd with devotion, and constantly seek to better yourself.

FAVORITES

Color: Green

Tertiary: Dramaturgy

Tertiary Skill: Scenes

Primary Skill: Wyrdsong

Location: The top of Mount Seirode at dawn and dusk

God/Goddess: Nocht, Elostian

Guild Master: Talan

Artifact: Doctoral Tam

Commodity: Cloth

Animal: Naenia

Item owned: The skybloom that Xynthin gave her on her birthday

Village/forest/region: The Wyrden Isle or the Meliashmora

NPC: The Voice of Mahalla

Memory: Being stolen from the Blacktalon to the Harbingers by @Eliron; Druken's approval when she wrote that story about him and Astraea; dancing with Xenthos for days at a party; Astraea convincing her to run for Dark Regent; Nocht making her His Sage; telling @Skeara that she was Tacita's true born daughter, not adopted; the first time @Kethaera told her about her interactions with Serenwilde; experimenting with Xenthos and shadowfire.

Song: Probably her own, rather narcissistically - but then if you're going to listen to a song constantly, you ought to like it.

Drink: The stygian whiskey that reminds her of @Synkarin

MINDSET

Goals: Found a cult with Nocht, never ever get back into politics again for god's sake, find the rest of her daughters, convince Synkarin to come back to Glomdoring.

Ambitions: Ascend in some form.

Nemesis: Celina

Rival: I don't know, really. Eliron maybe?

Best Friend: Astraea

Idol: Druken

Best personal achievement: Being elected Dark Regent and not doing an awful job at it.

Worst personal achievement: Resigning as Dark Regent because of 'personal bias issues' (Xynthin).

Proudest moment: Being made Nocht's Avatar.

Most shameful moment: Being unable/unwilling to kill the alternate universe versions of Xenthos to free him from the Wheel of the Goloths, and being called a traitor by most of the commune for it.

If I could make one wish: Xynthin's world would never have been destroyed, and he would never have come to Tacita's reality.

SUMMARY

Why you should hate her: Because she's a hypocrite who's driven entirely by love but constantly denies that she is; because that causes her to let people down over and over again.

Why you should love her: Because when it comes down to it she's a well-meaning person who's just struggling to please everyone, and that's universally familiar.

Why you should fear her: Because if you ever really back her into a corner she'll call Synkarin for backup.

Why she is harmless: She's too absorbed in her own affairs to really be a problem for most of the world

If he ruled the world, you'd best expect: Nocht to be its King, Magnagora to be razed to the ground and the Wyrd to take over.

Cyndarin · February 2014

Tacita is in Gaudiguch?

Maligorn · February 2014

-polite gasp-

Tacita · February 2014

Yes. Also, no.

Kiradawea · February 2014

Character Name: Kiradawea. Kira amongst friends.

THE ESSENTIALS

Race: Furrikin

Gender: Female

Guild: Institute

City/Commune:Hallifax
Order: Isune

THE LOOK

Hair: None, though she has fur. Short and coloured ash gray

Eyes: Mint green.
Height: Aberrantly short.

Build: When clothed, her build appears unassuming and average. Beneath the fur and clothes though there's a lot of muscletone. She's no bodybuilder, but she does climb mountains as a pasttime.

Defining Features: A presence that's way bigger than her frame suggests. Her extremely tiny frame. And her tendency to dress up in all kinds of sparkly things, even if it makes for an attrocious fashion sense.

Piercings: None. She loves them on others, but could never get one herself.
Scars: No physical ones. They're neatly removed with domothean scalpels.

PERSONALITY

Strengths: A very strong "can do" attitude. Very solution-focused, with the viewpoint that there's no such thing as the truly impossible. Improbable sure, but she is determined to make the improbable happen. She also considers herself intelligent, artistic and empathic.

Weaknesses: Extremely pushy, to the point that she can be very teasing towards people she feel are underachieving. She also has a really hard time really trusting people due to some pretty severe betrayals in the past. She's also prone to go absent-minded at times, and she tends to jump from project to project far too easily.

Attitude: Kind but firm. She is easily fascinated by anything that even hints at new knowledge to be learned, and she drinks history and good science like one would a good tea. she also has a tendency to be quite cold.
Morals: She has tendencies leaning towards Kantian Categorical Imperatives, though she's a bit more nuanced than the general interpretation. She believes that if you look at the act itself, you blind yourself to circumstances. Lying is bad. Lying to save a life is good. Lying to save the life of a murderer is bad. She still keeps the Supernal beliefs ingrained in her with her, so the concepts of Hope, Wisdom and Love remain primary tenets for her, even as she strives for perfect knowledge to make perfect decisions.
Pet Peeves: Underachievers, people who preach the virtues of taint and wyrd, people who attempt to obfuscate their actions behind better-seeming intentions.

Best way to piss me off: Varies depending on circumstances, but attempting to justify brutality or spreading of taint and wyrd rank up high.
Best way to get on my good side: Join in on one of her rambles on anything, or show appreciation for culture. Any kind of culture will do.

FAVORITES

Color: Shades of blue
Tertiary: Astrology

Tertiary Skill: Stargaze. Calculating astrological movements is a great form of meditation, and it's good for making her start dreaming and getting new ideas for new wonders to work on.

Primary Skill: Paradox. There's already too much for one Kira to do. A couple extra hands is always appreciated.

Location: Drifting among the stars

Goddess: The Lady Aesthete. The first Elder Kira didn't view as a complete jackass with too much power and not nearly enough wit.

Guild Master(all time): None that really stand out in the role of guildmaster. At least... none that stand out positively.
Artifact (don't have to own): Vernal Bracers of Incandescent Might
Commodity: Marble
Animal: White-Throated Dipper
Item owned: the Medallion of Knowledge
Village/forest/region: Xion

NPC: Lolly Pringle

Memory: Warning Celest about the fae girl coming to bind Raziela with the song of Ail'Fae Runia, and having the warnings brushed aside.

Song: None

Drink: Warm milk simmered with a dash of honey, cinnamon and sugar.

MINDSET

Goals: Complete project "Renewal", Project "Broadcast", Project "Guardian" and Project "Homecoming"
Amibitions: Ascendant seems the only ambitious goal left for me, though she still also desires to become a milestone for history, preferably a milestone marking the beginning of the eventual complete destruction of the soulless.

Nemesis: None.

Rival: Rivals are more friendly, and she considers Ushaara and Vivet great rivals to push her mind into even greater knowledge.

Best Friend: Picking any one of the great people in Hallifax as the "best"? Nope. Will just leave broken hearts, so this honour goes to Jeanne.

Idol: Elohora

Best personal achievement: Either becoming an Honoured Companion of the Hives, or acquiring the Seal of Knowledge.
Worst personal achievement: Screwing up her first leadership position due to a failure to notice nepotism.

Proudest moment: Seal of Knowledge victory
Most shameful moment:None to think of

If I could make one wish: (Mortals being able to make a permanent change on Lusternia) Discovering a way to slowly untangle the soulless from what they have consumed.

SUMMARY

Why you should hate her: She's ambitious, she's driven and she will relentlessly seek a way to heal the world of Taint and Wyrd.

Why you should love her: Because one day, she's gonna do something great, something everyone will benefit from.

Why you should fear her: Mad science. She may not fight much, but that doesn't mean she won't touch weapon development at all.

Why he is harmless: She hates fighting. It's very hard to rouse her into violently attacking something.

If he ruled the world, you'd best expect: A more even distribution of wealth, a state system based upon meritocracy and huge grants towards research aimed at battling the soulless.

FAVORITES

Color: Dark blue

Tertiary: Stealth

Tertiary Skill: *To be updated*

Primary Skill: *To be updated*

Location: He is too busy to linger in one place for long.

God/Goddess: Definitely @Drocilla

Guild Master/House Head (all time): @Lavinya (and not just because she is his mother

)

Item owned: No favourite.

Village/forest/region: The mountains, they give a good view of the basin.

NPC: No favourite.

Memory: *To be updated*

Song: He does not sing.

Drink: Fruit Juice

Amibitions: Like he's going to tell!

Nemesis: None yet.

Proudest moment: *to be updated*

Most shameful moment: *to be updated*

If I could make one wish: Show that becoming a TA is quite possible with sufficient support, for someone not a Demigod or Vernal Ascendant.

SUMMARY

Why you should hate him: If you are not a member of Magnagora, he plans to make his home the reason the basin fears the shadows once more. His arrogance can also be extremely irritating if he looks upon you as being beneath him.

Why you should love him: If you are someone that he takes a benevolent look on and are able to get close enough to him to convince him to let down his facade, he is a good friend and will go out of his way to help you.

Why you should fear him: He is extremely manipulative, so it can be hard to know if he truly considers you a friend or just a means to an end. Best to just enjoy the ride though.

Why he is harmless: Who said he was harmless? Seriously though, his ambitions are currently centered around his home city and guild, he has little time to be bothered by stray individuals.

If he ruled the world, you'd best expect: Fun games with very nasty twists to them. Deception and Chaos is his forte.

Piercings: None.

Scars: He has a lovely collection of chemical burns.

PERSONALITY

Strengths: Intelligence, work ethic, an awareness of his own fallibility.

Weaknesses: Prone to idolizing others and ignoring their flaws, careless to the point of self-injury, cares more about his titles than he really should.

Attitude: Generally optimistic and accommodating.

Morals: Virtue is a choice, and anyone can choose to be virtuous. Those who don't should be either encouraged to change their ways or destroyed. Virtue is defined as being Hallifaxian, basically.

Pet Peeves: Placing social niceties over reality.

Best way to piss me off: Betraying Hallifax is a good start.

Best way to get on my good side: Work for the good of the Collective, especially if that requires repudiating former allegiances.

FAVORITES

Color: Pink

Tertiary: Tarot

Tertiary Skill: Hermit

Primary Skill: Emerald

Location: In his library or his study.

God/Goddess: Isune

Guild Master: Vivet. She's just been Primus for so long now, it's hard to think of other people doing it.

Artifact:

Commodity: Silk

Animal: If he had to pick, it'd be chimaerae in general and his in particular, he's pretty fond of animals.

Item owned: a teardrop pendulum of starlit quartz

Village/forest/region: Talthos

NPC: The Temporal Conclave. Much more for its conceptual awesomeness than any interaction, naturally.

Memory: Being made a peer of Hallifax. Even if there wasn't a ceremony, it had been a goal of his for a long time.

Song: That improvised one that scholars tend to hum to themselves when they work.

Drink: Grape juice. He only drinks it when he's alone, and he likes it for way more than the flavor.

MINDSET

Goals: Finish that book on Hallifaxian literature in case it can get more people publishing, earn a doctorate.

Ambitions: Expand his library until it's undeniably the largest in the world, establishing complete Hallifaxian cultural hegemony over the world.

Nemesis: There's barely any interaction here, but he probably spends more time thinking about Eritheyl (negatively) than he does anyone else.

Rival: Has to be Irillia. Portius secretly likes to think the library is superior to the stage in every way, and tries to make sure his ministry does better than her ministry.

Best Friend: On sheer amount of interaction, has to be Zyphora. Portius doesn't really get out very much.

Idol: Maellio

Best personal achievement: The volume of books he's published, probably.

Worst personal achievement: Being a frankly mediocre Magnificus at best and shoving the job off on someone else.

Proudest moment: Being made Isune's Weaver.

Most shameful moment: He got visibly angry with a bureaucrat who critiqued the way he ran the library.

If I could make one wish: Assimilate everyone into the Collective, peacefully. And make them like it.

SUMMARY

Why you should hate him: Because if you aren't in Hallifax, he thinks you're making a conscious choice to be immoral.

Why you should love him: Because even if you're making a choice to be evil, he's willing to work to make you choose to be good. There's always a chance to choose to be better.

Why you should fear him: Because if you don't choose to be better, he sees nothing wrong with ordering the middle caste to see to your elimination.

Why he is harmless: Because he thinks fighting off an annoyed pigeon is a difficult and unpleasant battle.

If he ruled the world, you'd best expect: The world economy is oriented to fund glorious cultural enterprises. All people will be made to understand the inherent beauty of scientific knowledge and mathematics or suffer the consequences.

Lavinya · February 2014

Character Name: Lavinya d'Murani

THE ESSENTIALS

Race: Viscanti

Gender: Female

Guild: Nihilists

City: Magnagora

DisOrder: Morgfyre

THE LOOK

Hair: Long, riotous fiery red curls

Eyes: black

Height: On the short side, I'd say a hair over 5 feet.

Build: Slender and feminine

Defining Features: Most defining are the self-inflicted scars, pointed incisors and sharp claw-like nails

Piercings: Quite a few, doesn't always wear anything in them though

Scars: small white scars lining each arm and open wounds on the back of her hands that are held open with silver hooks.

PERSONALITY

Strengths: Fiercely religious and devoted to her beliefs, would rather lose friends than compromise on her ideals

Weaknesses: Highly opinionated and not shy to voice them which makes her quite commonly disliked, an underlying longing for approval and recognition that she will not admit to but leaves her often quietly second guessing everything she does and wondering what other people are thinking of her. Also terribly vain.

Attitude: She can be quite playful and warm but is most often haughty and stern.

Morals: She is fiercely loyal and has nothing but contempt for people she views as flighty and fickle in matters of their own loyalties. She believes in being decorous always in public, thinking a society without propriety is a barbaric once. Plotting should be subtle, respect should be a reflex. She believes Lord Morgfyre's teachings to be universal truths and follows them to the best of her ability. She will use anyone or anything if she believes the cause just, but struggles to accept open corruption and can't help but rally against it.

Best way to piss me off: Preach heresy against Morgfyre, or renounce Morgfyre/Magnagora/Nihilists and expect to get a pat on the back for it.

Best way to get on my good side: Be loyal, and behave with decorum and delightful manners.

FAVOURITES

Color: red

Tertiary: tarot

Tertiary Skill: catacombs - no walking to the UV for me (yes I am lazy)

Drink: absinthe

MINDSET

Goals: To see Magnagora return to a golden age of culture and passion

Amibitions: She's achieved most of them, she would also love to see the teachings of Morgfyre spread basin wide.

Nemesis: She doesn't have one particular nemesis persay. Revan would likely fit into the category in a complicated Daddy didn't love me I'll show him sort of way.

Rival: No one really, she's not particularly competative.

Best Friend: Taevi was her best friend through all her youth, now her closest confidant is her husband @Silvanus

Idol: Morgfyre, Nariah (whom she believed was the epitome of what a Magnagoran noblewoman should be. In many ways, she tries to emulate her example as she remembers it)

Best personal achievement: every little rise within the guild - Iconoclast to Prophet, to Mystagogue for a long long time, to Heresiarch, the head of the church being the pinnacle of achievement in her eyes within Magnagora.

Worst personal achievement: Joining Magnagora after leaving Serenwilde as a novice, for all the wrong reasons, not having a clue what Magnagora even was.

Proudest moment: Being named Chosen of Legion

Most shameful moment: - Losing the election for Heresiarch to an untested, ignorant child who is hardly fit to be an undersecretary, let alone the head of the church. So much shame.

If I could make one wish: To have grandchildren to spoil and shape in my evil image.

SUMMARY

Why you should hate her: She is arrogant and haughty and most likely looking down on you for wearing the wrong shoes with that hat.

Why you should love her: She is very loyal and true to herself. And so purdy. And snarky.

Why you should fear her: She will emote you to death (she's not really scary literally, unless you're an uppity little serf in need of a good flaying)

Why she is harmless: She couldn't fight her way out of a paper bag.

If he ruled the world, you'd best expect: Everyone dressing properly, drinking tea and exchanging pleasantries in between violent religious rituals. And everyone would kneel before Lord Legion.

If he ruled the world, you'd best expect: Well, let's be honest, if Silvanus ruled the world, you wouldn't be here.

Howdy, Stranger!
