Return of The Emblem Character Thread

[Phoenix]

General Notes:
-Only post character profiles here. No comments of any kind are to be posted here. Comments about things should just be made in the chat thread.
-Try to save space. If you've got a new character to add, you can simply edit an older post and put them in there.
-Spoiler tags are probably a good idea for long bits of text, especially bios/backstories.

My Notes:
-Eliminated stats from the archive for 2 reasons, the first being to prevent errors and outdated junk that's rampent in this section and comes from me remembering to update my stat file but not the archive itself. The second reason is to save five rows of space per character. You may or may not notice how fast that adds up and how much space it saves. The new template also reflects the changes(though the template is really only for copypasting convenience for when I add new people).
-Because stats are no longer kept in the archive, you'll have to pm me to reference something, but the file's usually open on my screen so if I'm online you should get a response pretty quick.
-Thanks to Bal, I've got two posts to work with which gives me more leg room.
-The first post contains only the most well-known allies enemies and neutrals (from an onscreen perspective) while the second contains the rest. Characters will be moved around when appropriate.

-Removing pictures until further notice to make space and have a bit more consistency throughout the post(s).

ANYONE MARKED IN GRAY IS DEAD.
[spoiler=CHARACTERS]ALLIES

Name: Raquel Valcyn
Nickname: Honey (Jethro), Pinky (by a bunch of people including Gabriella)
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Class: Virtuoso
Affinity: Light
Occupation: Former Merchant's Assistant, now Arms Trader.
Nature/Disposition: Cooperative and friendly, but noticeably introverted. She does have a temper, though it sometimes can take a little pushing to get her angry. Most times she's disinterested in other people's problems and prefers to focus on her own. She approaches battle and violence reluctantly, and refuses to directly harm anyone. She is perfectly able and willing to let her companions fight on her behalf while she supports them with her staves and aura magic, however.
Hometown: Ursentius
Connections: Jethro(Father), Caterena(Mother), Rico(Cousin), Reina(Sister), some other relatives, Seth Weyland, Reign, and her other friends from the academy.
Backstory:

Raquel was born to a very young Caterena Blanco whom had married Jethro Valcyn just prior. Magic ran on her mother's side, so Raquel eventually gained an interest as well. She took a greater interest in dark magic, however, and attended a school that taught both 'standard' classes and magic classes. Taking on both educations at once was the greatest challenge in her early years, and like her younger sister who came along later, her time was completely consumed by studies.

The years went by and Raquel became a very proficient dark magic wielder, gained very high marks in her magical studies, and became a follower of the Order of Truth. Her father had been in the military as long as she had known him, and as tensions began to grow between Ursium and Neviskotia, both her mother and father urged her to attend a military academy in Ursentius, an academy that had already asked for her. The goal was to send her to the academy so she could learn more by the time she was old enough to enlist in the military(she was only sixteen at the time). Graduating would have also allowed her to enter the Ursian military at the rank of Lieutenant, outright bypassing the 'grunt work' both Caterena and Jethro felt was beneath her. Despite her reluctance, she was eventually talked into it.

Being one of the academy's younger students was difficult at first; other students either liked her or disliked her. Few would just leave her be without making some issue of her marks or appearance. It wasn't long before she befriended several other odd students; a young man named Wynn, a very aggressive and opportunistic shaman in training; Nadine, a very intelligent student who's mother hailed from Kigen and father from Neviskotia, the perfect combination of origins for an endless supply of scrutiny and suspicion ... and Reign, a nomad who's parents left the Far Rim Flotilla before he was even born and settled down in Ursium. The four of them stuck together throughout their first year at the military academy. All four of them had a group chemistry that led them to doubt Ursium's religious goals in the war, however, and Raquel's state only deteriorated as she began to be disgusted by war in general. Only Nadine seemed to be able to continue on without letting her personal beliefs get in the way. Raquel meanwhile had been getting harassed by her own instructors on a daily basis. They intended to make her see just how 'right' military doctrine was. Verbal abuse led to extremely harsh training exercises, more arranged matches with tougher students, and harsher punishments for failure. All attempts failed and when Raquel nearly killed a fellow student in a burst of rage after being injured in a duel, it was the last straw. She only avoided being expelled due to her instructors accepting some of the blame for what happened. Raquel began skipping all of her training sessions, which consequently almost got Wynn expelled himself, as Raquel was the only other friend in the same class as him who could keep him from going over the edge.

A mere two months from graduation, Raquel considered dropping out of the military academy. Ironically, her father had retired from the military around the same time. She sent him a letter and the two had a long talk in person about their various beliefs. It turned out they had both lost their way and had no desire to continue in the military, a pleasant surprise to Raquel. Jethro's attitude toward the issue finally changed and he vowed to keep her away from the conflict altogether, but he needed a new career, and his relationship with Caterena had been severely strained over both issues. She began to think of Jethro as a coward, and that Raquel was beginning to act just like him before she'd ever gone into service. He tried to bring the family together to discuss everything; his new job, Raquel's decision, and where to go from there. The debate became intense and lasted for hours. It ended with Jethro and Raquel deciding to leave ... more or less for good, something Caterena felt was best. Father and daughter could run away if they pleased, but she couldn't remain married to the man after that. Jethro then had to pull every favor he could, especially from family and friends to get his new business underway. This included several meets with Professor Seth Weyland.

Raquel had her own problems. She had dropped out, but the academy wanted her back; she was one of their better students before reaching a philosophical impasse. That was when she decided to apply her dark magic in any other way possible. Several of her studies from the academy and her earlier schooling finally found a place in her daily routine, and she perfected various dark arts, but the most important technique in her arsenal would be used almost every hour of every day; she began suppressing her own aura with psychic energy, something she learned about in school but never had a use for. She used it so she would never be mistaken for a mage. No apparent magical ability meant she was of no value to the military. Within the first year, she had gone from hours of meditation to maintaining the field subconsciously. Jethro would never bring up her abilities if he could help it, and the letters from the academy eventually stopped. They got the hint; Raquel was done with training and nothing they could say or do would convince her to return. Furthermore, using her psychic barrier all of the time was atrophying her offensive power, something they learned about when a scout met her in person and couldn't sense her energy forwarded that theory to them. Within a year or two, she might be completely impotent.

By her eighteenth birthday, her father-daughter business with Jethro had become a phoenix, dying and being reborn several times, and they somehow acquired a young and occasionally violent capuchin they named Chip. Despite the failing business, it still had a decent security guard. Jethro refused to give up, though, seeing it as their only source of income and the only thing standing between them and the military. When Raquel found a strange cracked medallion during their trip through the country, she kept it in the hope it would sell for a decent price. Ironically, Jethro convinced her not to sell it. It wasn't the prettiest thing, but he had a feeling about it. More importantly it was made of a material no one had ever seen before. In the end, Raquel simply hoped the two of them could find their place in the world, and as long as they didn't have to return to the military to find that place, that might be enough.

Theme: Persona 3 FES: Interstice of Time
Shop Theme: Megaman 8: Doctor Light's Lab
Battle Theme: Unfinished Battle
Emblem Theme: Mahou Tsukai no Yoru: Five

Name: Cassandra
Nickname: Girl(By Burke), Cassy
Gender: Female
Age: Less Than A Year Old (18 in her mind)
Class: Unknown
Affinity: Light
Occupation: None
Nature/Disposition: While identical to Raquel in almost every way, she has one distinct difference in behavior that stems from her identity crisis. She is struggling to come to terms with the assertion that she is not the real Raquel. An indirect result of this is that she approaches violence more readily than Raquel ever would, and her training from Burke has made her more naturally aggressive in combat.
Hometown: Unknown, possibly Purgatory
Connections: Thanatos, Burke, and Naomi. Would claim to know everyone that Raquel does, but in fact has never met them.
Backstory:

She was given her name by Thanatos. Her short time alive has been spent primarily in the company of Burke and Naomi, followers of Thanatos. While her memories give her a personality almost identical to Raquel Valcyn's, she is steadily being brought down a different path from the woman she came from.

Battle Theme: Guilty Crown: Bios

Name: Joanna (Surname never stated)
Nickname: Jo
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Class: Winged Cleric
Affinity: Light
Occupation: Cleric and messenger
Nature/Disposition: Considered by some an earthbound Mercy in the flesh. She's known to be extremely empathetic to others, and often goes to dangerous lengths to aid those in need with complete disregard for her health and safety. She can sometimes be excessively polite as well.
Hometown: Aria
Connections: pending ...
Backstory:

She first appeared in human society a couple of years ago. The title of 'Dark Avian' had always made her uncomfortable, but living in Ursium, it couldn't be helped. At first she fed herself by taking the most ordinary jobs she could find. These normal jobs never stayed normal however, since as a female of her race, her ability to interpret the thoughts of those around her brought a great deal of suspicion on her, normal for most of her kind, but added onto that were her relatively poor hand-eye coordination. She wasn't suited to most of the jobs she tried to get. Incident after incident taught her that normal custodian work simply wasn't for her.

At first she didn't know that she could make an honest living as a healer and so hadn't pursued that option. What she soon learned though was that her light magic abilities were extremely valuable. Not hindered much by traveling distances, she was able to get from place to place by air and became a reliable healer in the Capital region. What seemed unique to Joanna, however, was her ability to travel greater distances without experiencing common health problems that limited other dark avian clerics. While others risked becoming sick by traveling from one region and climate to the other on a regular basis, Joanna seemed immune.

Eventually the Order of Mercy began working with and associating closely with her until she eventually joined them. Being a part of the Order of Mercy, she was able to live at the Grand Cathedral in Europa. Since then she became their popular 'Winged Cleric' and was one of the few dark avian healers in the church who did any serious traveling. Unfortunately, she was found to have extremely dangerous habits when placed in violent situations, such as not using her powers defensively, even to save her own life. She is a true pacifist regardless of the circumstances and will try her best to prevent or stop violence even after it begins by shielding combatants, with her own body if necessary. She is one of the Order's most iconic, if not worrisome, members. She isn't as famous as she would be if she traveled beyond the capital region more frequently, but she is well known in the capital region itself, her name only eclipsed by the leaders of the various Orders.

She came to the human world from Aria with two goals, to ease as much of the world's suffering as she could, and safeguard a box given to her by the Avian Emperor, Antares. Once the Order of Wrath learned that she possessed the box, she was quickly arrested. Her destiny lies elsewhere, now, and her ideals will be put to the ultimate test in the coming days.

Name: Amon Zeev
Nickname: Unknown
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Class: Rogue
Affinity: Wind
Occupation: Sancturan Agent
Nature/Disposition: Seems Reserved but respectful and very cooperative. Has a love for urban aesthetics and heights with scenic views.
Hometown: Even he doesn't know, but he grew up in Sanctuary
Connections: Queen Aisha and very many Sancturans.
Backstory:

Amon was born somewhere in the reclusive desert nation. He has no idea which of the well hidden outlying villages he hails from, but he grew up in Sanctuary. He spent his early childhood as a free runner and messenger boy, growing up to be very athletic and agile. Since he spent most of his life navigating urban environments, those places are where he feels most comfortable. He ended up serving in the palace in Sanctuary. When their queen relayed a message that the way to their salvation was finally made available, Amon among others volunteered to seek it out and return to Sanctuary with it. Amon was chosen, and with his nation's blessing and a mysterious trinket given to him by Lulu, he set out hoping to find it, whatever it was. He had doubts, but she told him that the trinket would guide him. Though still doubtful, it was enough for him to go along with and he continues his search praying to their queen and goddess that she was right.

Name: Reign Abrams
Nickname: Unknown
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Class: Warlock
Affinity: Water
Occupation: Outlaw
Nature/Disposition: Calm, sociable and friendly most of the time, but his extremely unbalanced training and background in the Ursian military have left him capable of pulling some vicious face heel turns and becoming very hostile under the right circumstances. This generally only happens when something is standing between him and his immediate goals or simply bothering him on a personal level. As long as he isn't under a lot of stress, he rolls with the punches and has a hopeful or at least positively inclined outlook.
Hometown: Unknown, but he is native to Ursium.

She thinks about everything she sees and hears. Toward other people she's calm, casual, and friendly, even if she doesn't receive the same in return.

Name: Kyou Katsu
Nickname: None
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Class: Marshall
Affinity: Water
Occupation: Considered a rōnin by most, he makes a living as a mercenary working with Kai and Atsuko, but he was once a skilled samurai.
Nature/Disposition: Dutiful and selfless as one would expect, but he also has a slightly aloof side that occasionally shows itself. In contrast, he's also prone to occasional wise cracking and considers it a bad habit.
Hometown: Unknown
Connections: Atsuko and the other mercenaries they work with, as well as his former master and previous employers.
Backstory:

Katsu was born and raised in a village in southern Kigen, and area periodically rife with fallen activity. His village was under the rule of a now deceased warlord, and most of the village was destroyed when the fallen attacked in force. The warlord's men struck back and managed to save several individuals. Katsu was among them, but his family was lost. He was taken under the warlord's wing and eventually became a samurai. After his lord's death in a battle against the fallen, Katsu retired along with his surviving colleagues in disgrace.

Unable to so easily return to fighting under someone only to see them die, Katsu turned to mercenary work and a survivor from his village, Atsuko, was finally old enough and strong enough to join him. The two worked as a duo for a short time before they joined up with Kai and some other mercenaries. The group became like a family and fought to support their home villages and hurt the fallen wherever they could.

Their work started becoming less and less legal the closer they came to engaging the fallen, however, and one of their jobs ended in utter disaster. After abducting Siv from a battle between the Kigenese army and a fallen force led by the White Devil, Brynhildr, Katsu and his mercenary allies were cut off from help and reinforcements. They were close enough to the border for reinforcements to eventually push through, but Kai and every other mercenary in the group save for Atsuko died. The two of them were the last, and to add insult to injury, they were both separated when Katsu was left on the battlefield. Atsuko completed the mission with Raquel's aid, but Katsu was unable to go with them and remained behind in Kigen.

Until recently, he was recovering in a Kigenese fortress after being saved by a swordsman named Daichi.

Looks at life as something that must have either purpose involved or be earned through trials. Because of this, she has no problem with killing her own children if they aren't strong enough to serve Clan Finnian in a way she desires, or her original plan for that child has been foiled in some way.

Nickname: Little Dove
Gender: Female
Age: 12

Affinity: Thunder
Occupation: She has no actual occupation, but being one of Valdimarr's suitresses gives her more potential authority than even she realizes.
Nature/Disposition: Only reserved when in danger, Siv is far more vocal and informative than either of her older sisters.
Hometown: Tartarus
Connections: Brynhildr, Svanhildr, some others as well, but most importantly Lord Valdimarr
Backstory:

The rest is pending, but she was captured during one of the few successful mercenary group's attacks on an isolated fallen group during a large battle. The Kigenese army was engaged with a fallen battalion led by the infamous Brynhildr, her older sister. The battle was ultimately a draw, but the isolated fallen were all killed save for this Little Dove.

It is now known that Siv Finnian is the daughter of Helga, a fallen hoping to use her daughter to merge clan Finnian with the Devlinos bloodline. She has gone through much to obtain favor from the Prince Valdimarr, including undergoing the Rite of Heresy in order to wield fire magic as he does.

Nature/Disposition: Belligerent and pack minded. She picks fights very liberally, even testing royalty when the opportunity arises. Some of her personality traits make her very appealing to other fallen, and as a result she has many suitors. She takes advantage of this in order to get into fights of all kinds. She married the last fallen that defeated her, but his death has left her once again available, and so once again, she has no shortage of outlets for violence, which she relishes.

She is atypical of most fallen in that she has very little aggression in her; even in the middle of battle, it requires a significant blow to prompt a counterattack. She is also extremely reasonable, and is said to be able to be talked into almost anything if an opposing argument is truly sound and beneficial to her or those she cares for.

Nature/Disposition: A beast tamer who's otherwise lazy and perverted by human standards. By fallen standards, he's simply lazy and lonesome. He seems willing to take a chance with almost any fallen save for Norn. Because he isn't a particularly desirable fallen, he often seeks affection from the demons he trains. He is more attached to his harpies than any of the other demons, which has led a few to suspect he practices beastiality, though this is more often than not just a suspicion used to prod him whenever he coddles them.

He's very friendly for the most part, but won't shy from the chance to blow something up, either with the Al-Lyrae's cannons, or with his own fire magic, which he sometimes amplifies with a treasure the crew found. His relationship with Vega is a source of a lot of embarrassment for him. Given that she's of the winged races, she is likely capable of reading minds and thus knowing about his attachment to her. Since she isn't as receptive as any aboard the Al-Lyrae would expect, it's assumed Rico is a victim of unrequited love, and he hates this with a passion.

Nature/Disposition: Friendly and social to a fault. When the possibility of a battle arises she becomes duty driven but also nervous. She tries hard to please others, but her habit of getting feedback during every step of her tasks tends to degrade her performance and sometimes complicate matters. She keeps this to a minimum in battle, but the fact that she seeks evaluation and feedback mid-battle says a lot about her priorities.

Connections: Silvia, Caine, and many others.
Backstory:

A man born in Neviskotia, Boris was an orphan adopted into a military household. He grew up practicing with many different kinds of blades and eventually became a duelist. Preferring to fight sword on sword, he became known for taking down other swordsmen in his hometown in quick decisive duels constantly. With his swordslayer at his side, he continued his training. One day his family was split up in a rather unsettling divorce and Boris had to make a choice as to who he would continue staying with. He was old enough and responsible enough to live on his own, but he had grown fond of family life, and the shattered family had him rather torn. Instead of simply making a choice, he tried to help his adoptive parents reconcile. The attempts failed and he had eventually alienated both of them so badly that he had to abandon them both. He decided to get out and train abroad, eventually winding up in Ursium.
He was recruited by a woman named Silvia and worked with her a few times before she was promoted to a field agent. With her hardly around anymore Boris found the organization to be rather boring, and as an enforcer in a relatively peaceful region, he found that his swordsmanship was beginning to weaken. He considered leaving and trying to hide away somewhere but he also considered what opportunities lied ahead for him if he could reach the rank his friend Silvia had. Field agents had enough freedom that if he were one, he would not have to worry about his skill diminishing anymore. With that in mind, he decided to perform his duties to the best of his abilities, and save desertion as a final option.

Ok, following the template set by Phoenix. This post will change as events occur.

[spoiler=Played Characters]

Full Name: Gytha Thirdgem

Nickname: N/A

Gender: Female

Age: 23 years

Class: Mercenary

Affinity: Fire

Level: 4

Weapon proficiency: Sword

Weapon of Choice: Her old two-handed blade

Inventory: Iron sword (plot inventory: sword is a blade and then there’s her flintlock pistol; points remaining: 142)

Stats: HP: 7 STR: 5 MAG: 0 SKL: 5 SPD: 5 LCK: 2 DEF: 3 RES: 2

Simplified Stats: HP: 21 MT: 5 HIT: 5 AVO: 7 DEF: 3 RES: 2 AS: 5

Occupation: Mariner

Appearance: Thick, black leather belt with a large, iron, rectangular buckle, light navy blue short-sleeved tunic with a square neckline, cream-colored canvas trousers, brown leather boots that go halfway up her lower leg. She also has a cream-colored bandana with a light navy pattern that she almost always has tied onto her head. She has a rather large build, boasting muscle definition (though not to the extent of most pirates due to being a woman). She is usually smiling and has brown-blue eyes. Her hair is usually down, though sometimes she weaves it into a loose braid. The color of her hair is orangey-brown and it cascades down to her middle back in large waves. Her skin is tanned from her seafaring. Much to her annoyance (due to unwanted attention) she sports a rather large bust. She blames this on her large build (and rightly so).

Nature/Disposition: Usually, she’s a jolly, carefree sort and in a battle her fervor rises. She is strong and though she’ll listen to reason, she’s not timid or submissive. She places a high value on loyalty and does her utmost for those she’s dedicated herself to. If you break her trust, you remove yourself from her protection and she might even regard you as an enemy.

Hometown: Stubbsgrit Port

Connections: Captain Reese Thirdgem of the pirate ship: Saltstraumen (her father), Mrs. Helmine Thirdgem (her mother), Mr. Corry Salvage (1^st mate and fill-in navigator aboard the Saltstraumen), Ms. Helen Gale (2^nd mate aboard the Saltstraumen), Maw (her shorthair silver tabby), Captain Miles Grater of the pirate ship: Deadlock (her first captain)

Backstory: She grew up in the rough port town of Stubbsgrit Port with her mother, always anticipating her father’s return from the sea. Whenever he returned home, the family would celebrate and catch up with each other. It was a good life and Gytha often dreamed of traveling the ocean alongside her father. When she was old enough, she helped her mother with tending to their small pub. Like her mother, it was natural for her to take on any of the guests who didn’t know their place and so Gytha quickly established that though she was new, she was by no means a confused pushover. So long as the guests respected her, though, she would talk and laugh with them, much like her mother. In fact, correlation people made between her and her mother was often in effect. Gytha never minded so much but she, herself, didn’t usually see it. Finally, one day, she was allowed to join one of the crews heading out as a fighting deckhand. She took along the sword she was used to as well as her own flintlock pistol her father had brought back for her from one of his voyages. After they had been out at sea for a time without sighting so much as sail of another vessel, many of her shipmates were beginning to blame the poor luck on Gytha herself, pointing to the old myth of seafaring women being bad luck. Some defended her, others fought against one another. By the end of the battle, roughly three-sevenths of the crew had been killed. The senior officers all remained intact. The captain had been a friend of Gytha’s father, and so had been one of her defenders. However, he was superstitious and so when they pulled into the next port (which was actually a cove near the actual next port town), told her that they would be shipping off in a week rather than in the few days that they were actually planning to set sail. When she awoke to find that she’d been stranded with her meager belongings, she cursed the pirates she’d been sailing with and set off towards the nearby port town: Fairgale Port. She would remember the lessons she’d learned aboard the ship and from home. She’d been double-crossed. She wouldn’t say where she was truly from, of course, being a pirate by blood. Instead, she would become a mariner and do battle with the pirates that had betrayed her.

Pet Name: Maw

Pet Nickname: N/A

Pet Gender: Female

Pet Species: Cat

Pet Age: 2 years

Pet Appearance: shorthair silver tabby; fur in pretty good condition; sleek and healthy bodily; right ear is partially torn off; missing left eye, right eye is blue, bandages are wrapped around the cat’s head to cover the eye socket.

Pet Personality: Self-assured and intelligent; will attack if she feels threatened or harassed

Pet Relations: Gytha (the one who takes care of her and gives her jobs)

Pet Backstory: Along with her littermates, she was raised only by her mother who was no more than an alley cat. Not everyone survived, but Maw did. Back then she didn’t have a name. As she grew older, she learned how to survive: stealing fish, hunting rats, running and hiding. Though it was harder to run and hide from a fellow cat than from a human. Her assailants were usually tom cats, especially if she’d managed to get some food. Maw got into several fights and though she sometimes lost and had to pay whatever the price had been for that particular battle, she never backed down. Cats who backed down were targeted, though all cats understood that if a cat had a human ally, then they were safe. However, that was only so long as they were near their human. If they were alone, they were a bigger target than if they were just a timid humanless cat. Humans were dangerous – sometimes even if one of them was your ally. However, they also brought a lot of food and made hiding places with wood and stone. One night in front of her hiding spot (a pile of wood) while Maw was eating some fish she’d stolen from the humans, she was attacked by the famous, giant, black tom. He was much bigger than most of the alley cats and his pelt was pitch black. He’d sprung a surprise attack on Maw, but that wasn’t going to stop her from fighting back. He was too fast and powerful, though. He took what he’d wanted from her and given her a frayed ear and a gouged eye. She would never fight or hunt as well as she had before again. That night she was too terrified to move, thinking of how she’d suddenly lost everything and would surly die. However, the next morning, she woke up rising off the ground. A female human was talking to her. Terrified, she hissed and squirmed. The human complained in a gentle voice and kept a firm grip, not allowing her claws to reach her. The human took Maw into her house, cleaned her wounds and brushed her fur. She fed her and gave her water and bandaged her head. Maw was still apprehensive. It was too late now, though: the other cats had likely seen her with the human and the human’s scent was on her. The human’s name was Gytha and Gytha named her Maw. They travelled on ships and Maw found that she could still hunt the rats well enough and Gytha still took care of her. This was Maw’s new way of life and it was good indeed.

Full Name: Norbert

Nickname: Bert (also known as “Bert the Crusher”)

Gender: Male

Age: 20 years

Class: Pegasus Knight

Affinity: Thunder

Level: 3

Weapon proficiency: Axe

Weapon of Choice: Iron-ball dual maces (Splinter and Crunch)

Inventory: leather mount armor, stimulant (1 use), swordslayer poleaxe, Splinter and Crunch (points remaining: 64)

Stats: HP: 5 STR: 5 MAG: 0 SKL: 4 SPD: 5 LCK: 1 DEF: 3 RES: 3

Simplified Stats: HP:15 MT: 5(x1.25 if S&C, x1.50 if PA) HIT: 4(x1.50 if PA) AVO: 6 DEF: 3(+1) RES: 3 AS: 5(-1)

Occupation: Thief (though he only targets bandits and thieves)

Appearance: Though well-toned, Bert has a lithe build. He isn’t tall, but not that short either, standing at 5’ 10” tall. Having lived in the snowy, northern mountains, he used to be quite pale, but has since gained some color (though not all that much). His hair is such a dark indigo that it is considered black and though his bangs are somewhat long, the rest of his hair is short. His eyes are burgundy in color. He wears a loose, long-sleeved, dark red tunic with black detailing, black trousers, a black, leather belt and black, leather boots. He also has bandages wrapped around his hands and wrists for a better grip on the haft of his axe. He was considering getting armor one day seeing as it could very well save his life someday.

Nature/Disposition: He has an extremely short fuse. Though he has self-restraint, he doesn’t often exercise it – at least when it comes to brawling. Once he decides on a goal, he does his utmost to ensure it succeeds, even to the point of picking fights he can’t win out of sheer vigor and grit. He doesn’t like to admit feeling closeness, becoming awkward and even bashful (which is displayed through being unnecessarily shouty and sometimes even a bit flustered) when having to admit it. He also often puts the needs of others ahead of his own and has a hard time asking for things or favors, even if they are needs such as food. He’s protective by nature, especially of those he considers his friends or family. He also has a strange sense of humor. If someone does poorly in a fight against him or against someone they’re severely outmatched against, he finds it absolutely hilarious. He also tends to find misunderstandings funny once they’re brought to light. In spite of his strong views on equality and his disgust at people lording it over others just because of social ranking, he often views himself as less important than everyone else and is constantly trying to prove to everyone – himself included – that he holds just as much value as anyone else in the world.

Hometown: Ursium Pegasus Orphanage

Connections: Marina (favorite little sister), Captain Cecelia (most annoying older sister who also happens to be a sword-wielding flaconight in Ursium’s military), Father Nigel (the man in charge of the orphanage and the adopted father to thousands)

Backstory: Norbert grew up as an orphan at the Ursian Pegasus Orphanage for Girls run by Father Nigel in the northern Ursian mountains. Why was a boy raised in an orphanage for girls? Well, a woman was flying on her pegasus to tell Nigel – who had raised her – the good news that she was married and pregnant. However, she was caught in a blizzard and though they made it to the orphanage, neither her nor her pegasus survived for long after they reached it. Nigel, with assistance, was able to save her baby, however. Feeling responsible for the child and not wanting to send off a newborn through the mountains to another orphanage, Nigel took him in and named him Norbert. Norbert had a strong spirit, even when he was very young, though he was constantly antagonized by many of his sisters (the girls who lived at the orphanage) that were around his age. Partially due to this, Norbert grew up with a rather short fuse and more and more often would resort to violence. In an effort to try to help Norbert to constructively blow off steam, Nigel gave Norbert a hatchet and told him to go chop wood for the orphanage’s fires whenever he was feeling angry. The orphanage was never short on wood again. Still, Norbert hated being told by his sisters who were training to be pegasus knights that he could never become one just because he was a boy. As a result, he watched his older sisters while they practiced with their weapons and as they handled and picked out their pegasi from the herd. He practiced with his hatchet and spent time around the pegasi by himself for a while. One day, he met a sprightly, young pegasus who took a liking to him. She became his own pegasus and he named her Rizen. Eventually, he got tired enough of his life at the orphanage to leave with Rizen, some supplies and his hatchet. He knew for sure he didn’t want to join the military and he had terrible social skills, so he eventually made a name for himself as a vigilante, opportunely attacking bandits and taking what gold he could get and carry from them. Though he was still young and only one man with a pegasus and an axe so he was often still fairly poor as a whole. He was happy with his life, though. He had a constructive release for his anger, he had his pegasus, he could fight, he could afford his maintenance and necessities costs (for when he did visit settlements) and he was free of social restrictions, though he made sure to stay on the right side of the law. His favorite weapons were his tonfa maces, which he named Splinter and Crunch. He found he liked the feel of crushing with them much better than the feel of chopping he’d had with his old hatchet. And so, he came to be known as Bert the Crusher. He even got a few stories told about him in the small settlements in the northeast who benefitted from his attacking the bandits. At first, he was an angelic warrior…but then they met him. Though he never actually harmed them (much more than a jab to the face if he was in a bad enough mood or ticked off enough) his temper became a prominent part of the stories.

Location: With the group

Mount Name: Rizen

Mount Nickname: Riz

Mount Gender: Female

Mount Species: Pegasus

Mount Age: 12 years

Mount Appearance: “White” (gray) pegasus with dark blue eyes and stronger wings than usual with bulkier wing muscles. She wears charcoal-colored leather mount armor. Also, her horn is at a decent length and sharpness, but far from that of a falcon…for now.

Mount Personality: Quirky and enthusiastic, but keeps her energy under control when Bert wants her to.

Mount Relations: Bert, the herd, the people near the herd

Mount Backstory: She had always had extra stores of energy. Thusly, Riz exercised her wings more than most the other foals, flapping them as she stumbled around; of course, this lead to an overall increase in her wings’ strength. When she was 7 years old, she did what she had always done: go with her herd closer to the human herd. Many herds went to the humans since they were good enough to sometimes give them shelter in addition to the regular supply of food. It was strange since the human colony had so many females. In fact, sometimes they were the only humans there and it was almost unheard of for there to be more males there than the elderly male. Today Riz was lucky. She got to see a young, male human among the human herd. This was rare! As it turned out, that human Riz was so excited about was Norbert. She wound up staying at the orphanage and Norbert took care of her. Riz didn’t particularly mind the other humans, but didn’t really like them either. The only one of interest was Bert and he was the only one she allowed to ride her. He seemed to enjoy flying. It was something they had in common, though he didn’t have wings. He was rather explosive, too, but never hurt her and rarely yelled at her. He also didn’t find all her energy to be annoying. In fact, it complimented his own bursts of energy, though his were far more destructive. She didn’t mind, though. When they left the co-existing human- and pegasi-herds, it was exciting! They were going on an adventure and they both gladly left their old home. Indeed, many adventures ensued along with a lot of amusing conduct between Bert and other humans.

Occupation: Captain in Langley's battalion

Appearance: Fair with cold, pale blue eyes and pale, silvery-blonde hair. She wears white falconknight armor with pale yellow trim. The modest, heavy shirt she wears underneath is black with purple designs. Her trousers are white, like her boots, but her boots have the same, pale yellow trim as her armor. She always wears her old, golden locket. Though she is somewhat shapely, Cecelia doesn't care much about her figure, preferring to focus on protecting the citizenry (especially the parents of young children).

Nature/Disposition: Calast and objective, often containing any emotions she dubs "weak." Something she'll say to parents regularly is "You don't know how much (he/she/they) need(s) you."

Hometown: Ursium Pegasus Orphanage

Connections: her parents, Angeline (her infant sister who died in a border skirmish), her "siblings" from the orphanage (especially one of her very few "younger brothers," Norbert), Father Nigel (the man in charge of the orphanage, who she views as a second father), Colonel Langley (her superior)

Backstory: Like many others in the Ursian military, Cecelia grew up in and came from Ursian Pegasus Orphanage. However, she remembers how she was orphaned: She was only 6 years old at the time. It was winter and snowing but she wasn't cold. She just stood there in her nightgown, wearing the gold-chain locket that was too big for her and clinging to her blanket while she watched her house burn. Her parents were in there. Her baby sister was in there. All she had was what she was wearing and holding. All around her were the cries of death, anguish, hatred, pain and battle. The Ursians were losing ground, especially with the enemy having a fire dragon shooting streams of fire into the boarder village. Flying dragonslayers were arriving, but all Cecelia could see was the fire as she stood barefoot in the snow. It couldn't be real... Later, after the Neviskotians had been pushed back, the Ursians asked about her. Finding she was now an orphan, they took her to the orphanage she grew up in. As she stayed there, Cecelia refused to let what happened to her happen to anyone else. So, she learned the sword and never retracted her claws. She joined the Ursian military, quickly proving herself in ability with both the sword and pegasus-riding.

Occupation: student with hall monitor privilages in Europa's university

Appearance: slightly longish, pale green-yellow hair and bright green eyes. He usually wears simple, loose clothing, but he does have a robe he wears for special occasions that his mother made for him since robes designed for water mages are short in supply. He usually (if not always) is wearing his hall monitor's pass like a badge of honor.

Nature/Disposition: laid-back, friendly and reliable.

Hometown: Europa

Connections: various staff and students in Europa's university

Backstory: Tim grew up in a middle-class home in Europa. His mother was a seamstress and his father was a clothing and fabrics merchant. He did well in his schooling and took an rather large interest in learning. One day the students were being taught about how earth and water magic is used. For the fun of it, all the students in Tim's class were tested for their natural psychic rating. When the results came back, Tim and two others in his class were asked if they were interested in enrolling in a special class just for people who could potentially become water or earth mages. Excited at the prospect, Tim switched classes. What he didn't realize until later was that this was a free enrollment into the local university. He's been studying water magic in that class ever since, looking at his opportunity with wide-eyed wonder, excitement, pride and appreciation. Having started the jr.'s course when he was 16, Tim has been a student at the university for a decade now and is officially enrolled, expanding his psychic ability and taking advantage of the opportunity to feed his hunger for knowledge.

Location: Europa University

Standings: Indifferent towards most of the group but has found a friend in Ranyin.

MAJOR EDIT: I decided to keep a separate document of my NPCs. More will appear as the group encounters them.

[spoiler= Appearance]

Nature/Disposition: Grumpy, most of the time. She’s not really against helping others, but it often seems like it as she’s not willing to unless there’s something in it for her. However, once someone has done something for her she will do all she can to repay the favor. Her morals are good, but she has a pretty bad temper.

Hometown: Ursaea in Ursium

Connections: Valter Morph

Backstory: Synthia lived a fairly normal life with her parents and 4 siblings in Ursium. She spent a brief stint in religious training where she learned to use staves, but caused a major incident and was quickly dismissed from the service.

Occupation: He occasionally escorts traveling church officials as sort of a bodyguard, though it’s not a constant job and tends to be more of a... hobby.
[spoiler=Appearance]

Around 6’ tall, wears a green tunic with cream colored pants and shirt
His eyes are heterochromatic, his left being blue and his right being reddish pink due to lack of melanin, which also happens to be the cause of some eye problems and the reason for his glasses.

Nature/Disposition: He would like to consider himself pragmatic, but even he recognizes how idealistic he is sometimes, tending to follow the advice to forgive and forget and often helping strangers out with no benefit to himself. He also has a bad habit of becoming less articulate the more he’s worked up.
Hometown: Ursaea
Connections: Synthia Azubah – She stopped a group of bullies from taunting him about his discolored eye. They later became good friends, she being one of the few he has.
Backstory: The son of a wealthy bishop, Valter was expected to succeed his father and thus was taught the fundamentals of healing magic, however, he wasn’t interested in magic or becoming a priest and had several arguments about it with his father. Past experiences with bullying and bandits and some advice from Synthia compelled him to try to learn swordplay and later archery. His father was not pleased, and remained that way until the knowledge proved useful in saving the life of a church official who had been attacked outside the city, after which he decided his son didn’t have to be a priest as long as he served the church in some capacity. They settled on his current position of bodyguard and called it a day.

Mount Relations: Valter, Synthia
Mount Backstory: She was given to Valter on his sixteenth birthday by his father when he finally accepted his son’s decision not to join the church as a priest. He had reasoned it’d be safer to fight on a horse than on foot, hence this gift. Also good for traveling, ect.

Backstory: Her father was a mercenary, and his father, and his father before him. It was just something she grew up with, despite the personality conflict.

Occupation: Troublemaker

[spoiler=Appearance] About 5’10”, muscled, caramel complexion with somewhat shaggy brown hair. He wears a salmon colored short sleeve shirt, grey pants, leather boots with greaves, leather lamellar with steel plates, a thick leather glove on his sword hand, and a leather and steel clawed gauntlet on his left. His sword is carried horizontally at his back with the sheath clipped to his belt.

Nature/Disposition: There isn’t a modest bone in this man’s body. He’s extremely self-centered, bordering on Narcissistic personality disorder. His impulsivity often manifests as odd physical behavior, lying on a whim, and kleptomaniac patterns of stealing. He actually is fairly intelligent, it just doesn’t always show on a daily basis. His most positive character trait is his loyalty, if you can get him to respect you.

Connections: Rida Nizzar, his sister, Fizza, the Tide

Backstory: Kamal spent most of his life with his parents and younger sister in the desert of Rex Avaz. With his father being one of the higher ranking members of their Tide faction, he was indoctrinated with the hatred of Sanctuary and injustice of Aisha throughout his early years. When he was old enough, Kamal’s father taught him swordsmanship and martial arts, and he joined what he saw as a noble cause, the retaliation against oppression.

His father was killed in action while Kamal was in his late teens, and no one took the news harder than his mother. She succumbed to illness a few months later. Both events left Kamal severely disillusioned with the rebellion effort and the desert, which he reacted to by defecting from the rebels and fleeing with his sister, Rida, up into Kigen. There was no point staying in a place they had no hope, just to die fighting against an impossible enemy. Once outside the Tide’s influence range, the two took on odd jobs to pay their way as they traveled and eventually made their way towards southern Ursium, where Rida grew tired of her brother’s behavior and settled down without him. That had been about a year ago, leaving Kamal plenty of time to let the loneliness set in, something he’s dealt with by causing trouble almost everywhere.

Nature/Disposition: Free-spirited, easygoing, tendency not to tell the whole truth

Hometown: Born in Kigen, but traveled to many places.

Connections: None really outside of her clan (Pa is Marko, Ma is Vadoma)

Backstory: Centuries ago, a small group of pilgrims left the city of Sanctuary and the land of Rex-Avaz permanently, tired of living under Aisha's rule and curious about tales of other vasili that the very infrequent traveler told. These nomads gathered stories and legends about the vasili, integrating their tales with the history of Aisha so many Rexians know well.

Life for these nomads was not easy however, as there was really no place for them in the world. Almost all the land was already under control of some power or another, and the various nations greeted the outsiders with suspicion. Many nomads turned to thievery in order to make a living for themselves, increasing negative stereotypes about the outsiders in Ursium, Neviskotia, and Rex Avaz.

Nadya is a descendant of these pilgrims and has lived a relatively happy life, living off the land with her family and several others. She spent most of her life in Kigen, but has recently moved to Ursium with only her horse Luca in tow. She spends most of her days offering palm readings and healing for coin in an attempt to make a living for herself.

Occupation: 7th Year Warrior

Hometown: Haon Village (NorthEast of Kayoyama)

Backstory: Son of Muraji Haneyama, and primary guardian for the Hiryuumaden Shrine located in Haon Village. Despite being female, her mother had insisted on raising Eriya as a boy when she was born and as a result is one of the few (if not only) woman within Kigens military ranks. While enlisting in the military would have resulted in her gender being revealed, The Haneyama family used their position as the protectors of the Hiryuumaden shrine to their advantage, hiring private tutors to train Eriya as she grew up.

On Eriya's 18th birthday however she witnessed her mothers death by the hands of her father, an event that resulted in her father taking one of Kigens national treasure (The Kushinada Comb) which had been housed in the Hiryuumaden shrine. Not only did this event cause outrage amongst the Kigenese noble (warrior) houses, but was later used to fuel the Gaishoukinjihou (Foreign merchants forbidden policy).

Her mother dead, and her family name in tatters, Eriya was given the choice of locating her father and retrieving the Kushinada or bestowing an honorable death upon herself. Making the obvious decision, she headed to Ursium to find the whereabouts of her father.

Occupation: Wood carver/Mercenary

Appearance: Short kinda messy Red hair, Green eyes. A very physically fit man especially for his age, standing roughly 6 and a half feet tall. Tanned skin, I guess. Wears some kinda baggy pants and a long sleeve shirt with a leather vest usually. His hands are usually bandaged in simple white cloth due to his hobby.

Nature/Disposition: A man who calls it as he sees it. Generally content with life, and confident in himself. A simple man with simple pleasures. Enjoys chopping things, mayhaps even humans, it remains to be seen.

Occupation: Vigilante

Appearance: 5', a scrappy build, prefers a light and mobile attire underneath a cloak with a hood that covers his misshapen face, short green hair.

Nature/Disposition: A man out for blood, though willing to cooperate if given enough incentive or if he feels like it. Not evil so much as he's narrow minded and hardly deviates. Tries not to draw too much attention to himself, though at times this seems to be an impossible task unless it's a rainy/snowy day.

Hometown: Ursium

Connections: Carla, that bitch.

Backstory: He had a relatively easy life back in the day, though he wanted more from it. Nothing much was asked of him from damn near anyone, though trouble seemed to follow him wherever he went, or more precisely, in his wake. He was always a very nimble, sneaky being during his youth, and when he caught wind of the Fire Emblem hidden in some abandon ruins from some friends, he HAD to have it. He didn't know what the hell the Fire Emblem was, or the validity of this claim (He didn't like this 'friend' very much), but he had heard its name before enough to know it was valuable.

So he set off to find this Emblem, nothing but his wits, his cloak, and a torch to help him navigate this place. He had no idea that another person had been in this place at the same time, and when they met... it wasn't pretty. Derik fancied himself a good combatant, but this lady was nothing at all what he expected. Trying desperately to hold his own, he would eventually slip up as she placed a grenade on him that he would find a little too late. He was caught in the explosion, causing him no end of pain, frustration and humiliation.

He had miraculously made it out from the place alive, and he immediately sought medical attention, though he still suffered permanent damage to his face, disfiguring it. He changed that day, he swore that he'd find that lady and kill her, if it's the last thing he'd do.

Backstory: Zel is an... almost noble that grew up in the bolstering city of Ursentius. Almost as in... His Dad had an affair with some girl from the street, ended having Zel, and the Chris kept him. Zel never met his true mother, didn't even know she existed, and doesn't really care. All he cared about, was being some hero, some great knight that would one day aspire to great things. Thanks to his father's slight Influence he was able to go through the process of becoming a knight. Working and learning as a page, cleaning and monitoring equipment as a squire, and eventually working his way to Knighthood. He never complained, he never quarrelled. It was all to establish his goal. Inhis knight hood Ceremony his father presented Sliep to him as a proper gift. No knight should go into battle unmounted. With a tear in his eye and a smile under his helm he set off to become something great... atleast, that was the plan. He has yet to leave town, and so far has only dealt with a few bandits from under the laws nose. But as soon as he finds an excuse he's going to skip town and go be somebody.

Appearance: 5'4" with a newly cut black hair. His almond shaped eyes are a very dark shade of brown and he has the dark tanned skin of a southerner. He wears a deep blue silk robe under his brown traveling cloak.
Nature/Disposition: Pyrophobic, likes complaining.
Backstory:

Hailing from Kigen, he has trice failed in passing the mage exams and is a disgrace to his family in doing so. Some of the clan find it a sign of bad luck and hence he was given a final task by his masters to prove his worth by discovering the whereabouts of Ancient Magic that are scattered throughout the lands. A dangerous task that they hope he would not return from, hence knowing this he has taken the opportunity to instead travel and see new sights.

Despite learning magic at the late age of ten, when the average Kigen started at the age of seven, Ranyin was able to barely keep up with the learning of magic. Although he failed to pass his exams so many times, he was by no means completely incompetent in the casting of magic, rather his failing might have been due to his nature as a human himself.

Theme Song: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=13dsYEOi5TY

Appearance: A 5'11" light built blonde maiden with extremely fair complexion, slender arms and acid green eyes. She is always seen in armour of extremely shiny white, a testimony to her devotion in polishing it everyday in order to keep the dirt out and maintain its presentability as a sign of her family's pride, the dubious luxury of keeping a used armour looking new. In actual fact, it only serves to show her inexperience in battle. She has her long hair braided and tied up to a bun and her fringe pulled back in order to keep her hair away from her eyes and make it hard to grab in battle as taught by her military mentors. The reason why she did not have it outright cut off completely was due to the fact her family might one day require her to look dainty enough with that hair for arranged marriages. Some spellcasters might note her radiating with a strong psychic aura due to her untapped natural affinity for magic.

For a taste of her appearance in-post, refer to post #208 here: http://serenesforest...dpost&p=1518466

Nature/Disposition: She tries to shoulder her responsibilities and family expectations like her armour, and places faith on both that they will serve her well. Secretly reads romance stories and tomes on magical theory.
Hometown: Europa, Ursium
Connections: (Optional: list of people this person knows and their relations with them)
Backstory:

Mireille is inexperienced with life beyond the 'special' training grounds for noble born military students and her family estate. She is by no means a weak damsel as her father had made sure she was raised with no servants in order to be 'tough enough to bash other soft noble daughters', but she never lived a life with any wants as her family is rich enough to provide her with her basic needs. Hence she may know how to sew her own dress, but not know where to get the needles or thread.

Her father was a general from a long line of Ursium military nobility who actually earned his title rather than bribe it through influence or wealth. Taking pride in that, he had vowed to make his first child, whom he had hoped was a son, grow up like him into a strong and brave knight unlike the other typical noble children whom he viewed with disgust. He was disappointed when Mireille was born a girl as he had a conservative and sexist view on people. But neverthless, he would not forsake his earlier vow and enrolled Mireille to one of his personal barracks where other children of nobility were sent to train to be knights or cavaliers. Sadly, the fierce ways of a warrior was not for the gentle girl who aspired to be a mage. She had inherited her mother's disposition for magic, but unfortunately, no one said no to her father. The poor girl thus spent the remainder of her early childhood learning how to carry heavy shields, yet at the same time took lessons on how to act like a proper Ursium lady, learning how to read and write poetry, sing, dance and such. It was a tiring and demanding life, which she complained once to her father, only to recieve a harsh beating. Her only consolation was the only woman knight among her instructors who would empathise with her and give her breaks when she was at her limit.

One day, the barrack was stormed by 'bandits' seeking to ransom some noble children. As the barrack was relatively close to the city, no one would have expected such a bold assault which was later investigated to be a kidnapping attempt by some noble families, for which the issue has yet to be resolved as the family involved have yet to be proven guilty. On that fateful day, most of the instructors were away on an important meeting, leaving the lady knight who empathised with Mireille to defend the place with a few soldiers. She stood her ground and fought hard to buy enough time for messengers to get rescue, finally succumbing to her wounds just as the cavalry arrived. Moved by such a heroic display, Mireille no longer detested her training and instead squeezed every moment of it in order to honour the lady knight's death. Her father was pleased by this change of attitude of hers pleased her father, who all too happily stopped all her other studies on being a lady to let her focus on being a knight. Although she told herself that she wanted to be a brave knight, not like her father, but rather the knight who she now admired, she could never lie to her soul, which loathed living a lie.

Currently, her father had sent her to serve under Seth Weyland in hopes that such an act would garner him some priority for rights to obtain his future patents. Mireille, being the dutiful daughter obeyed her father and moved to Europa. She has yet to recieve any direct orders thus far and spent all her free time reading the many tomes in the University there as well as sneaking into some lectures. Little does she know that all her training might be put to the test, and that she would regret not pressuring her father to let her learn the ways of mage hard enough...

Backstory:

All people talk about these days was how Itsuki was a terrible husband and father, that his no longer had a wife, was never by his only daughter's side when she was claimed by illness. Always putting his task before his family. But those people were wrong, his comrades were his true family, the others were mere cultural imagery to be upheld. It was the company of other boisterous soldiers that Itsuki sought after.

And how was he rewarded for his devotion? Dishonourable discharge from the military as soon as his hair turned white and he lost an eye in one of many border skirmishes between the Kigenese army and the Fallen. With nothing left for him home, Itsuki had nothing to hold himself back from visiting the rest of the world with a trusty lance in hand and a shield he got from his superiors back in the days serving the military.

Nicknames: Country Girl

Gender: Female

Age: 19

Level: 5/1

Class: Sniper

Affinity: Light

Weapon proficiency: Bow

Weapon of Choice: The longbow. To be precise, she uses hunting bows, but stays away from shortbows due to not fighting on a horse.

Inventory: Crossbow, Stims (3 uses), Splint Mail

Raw Stats: Raw Stats: HP: 6 (+1) STR: 4 MAG: 0 SKL: 12 (+1) SPD: 9 (+1) LCK: 4 DEF: 3 RES: 1

Simplified Stats: HP: 18 MT: 9, Hit: 15 AS: 9, AVO: 13, DEF/RES: 5/1

Occupation: Hunter

Known skills: Can make weapons out of stone.

Appearance: Standing at 5'11" tall, Robin is a physically lean woman, a trait that has carried over from her time hunting. She wears a simple shirt, thick
and rough, but kept oddly clean. Though traces of animal blood do accent her clothes, she has put forth effort into keeping the blood off of her clothes. Tribal markings and simple patterns line the hems of both her shirt and pants, done largely in swirl designs, though a few hold leaf-like patterns upon them, making them seem like vines instead. Her bow and quiver are near-constantly either slung across her back, or nearby her in some other form so long as she can help it. Small tufts of hair that have been dyed green mark each end of her bow. Most surprisingly, the hair on the right side of her head has been cut short. She has done this because she often places her head low and along the base of the shaft of her arrow as she aims, her hazel eyes squinting as she tries to line up the perfect shot. Upon firing the bowstring, it is all too easy for long hair to get caught and mess up the shot, or at least hurt something wicked.

Nature/Disposition: Proud of her skills as a archer, Robin is somewhat boastful, but does try to not be rude.

Hometown: Okha

Connections: Berthold (father), Maria (Mother), Willheim (younger brother). All live in Okha.

Backstory: Born in the port town of Okha, young Robin lived a calm and simple life as the only daughter of one of the towns hunters. As a small child, she would wait eagerly for her father to return from his daily hunts so that she could help to clean and skin his kills. When she became old enough to take her own kills, she joined her father on the hunts until she was sure of herself. Seeking independence, but still caring for her family, she moved away from them but remained in Okha. Looking up to Alyssa Ivanovna, she practiced her archery every day, even going as far as to cut her hair on one side so that it would not interfere with her bowstring. Though she could have joined the military, she chose not to knowing that her father did not want to risk losing her. However, as the hostilities with Ursium worsened, Robin grew more and more troubled. At last, she could take it no more and had to make a choice. She wanted the war to end, but knew that her father would not let her join the army. However, if she could lay claim to an artifact of great power, it might give her people the leverage they need to force Ursium to back down.

Though her mind was resolved, she did not know where to begin her search or what to look for. The bones of a saint? Some sword of immense power? She did not know. Yet, she knew she must find such a thing to end the war, even as gnawing regret over her decision and the knowledge that she had broken her fathers wishes haunted her from the back of her mind.

Nature/Disposition: Excitable, Calm, Helpful, Forgetfull. Shei is actualy quite prone to bouts of depression and self-depreciation. Whenever she's in a bad mood, she either refuses to speak, or makes sarcastic witty comments in other to agitate people.

Hometown: A village at the border of Ursium and Kigen. Left due to a disaggrement with the villagers.

Backstory: Lived in a small village and learned the holy arts from the local church. She decided to go on a journey to help people in need and to seek out her childhood friend, who she has little to no memory of.

In reality she actually left the village, 2 years ago. She left because her beliefs, that dark magic could be used for good and that people should nit classify light as good or dark as evil, did not coincide with the clergy men in the village who abhored dark magic. This reminded of her old friend and thus, on one night she took her prized family heirloom and Nesha and set off into the wilderness, simply to prove them wrong and because she wanted to see more of the world around her.. Other things of note are that she is an orphan and was raised by the nuns in the village. She learned light and healing magic at the age of 6 and was self-taught in light magic, however she was taught healing magic by the nuns.

Simplified Stats: HP:12 MT:6 Hit:4 Evade:8 AS:5 Defense:3+3 Resistance:1

Occupation: Freelance Mercenary for hire.

Appearance:

Height: 5'11

Weight: 198 lbs

Nature/Disposition: Liz is pragmatic and practical most of the time, but at the same time not one to shy away from a good fight if it's either needed, profitable, or simply just strikes her fancy. Her good sense for money-making is practically negated for her penchant into getting into fights that could normally be avoided. She is well-aware of what she can do and is not prone to overestimating herself. Most people look at her askance on her enjoyment of life in all its aspect with practically no morals constraining her.

Hometown: Sergei Port, Neviskotia

Connections: Knows the more famous Neviskotian and Ursian military figures by reputation, well-known by people around the Neviskotia-Ursium border, has actually met Peter Boskonovitch once, The Seven Deadly Sins (her mercenary group), Andrei Popovich (The group's agent, resident of Sergei Port), Clients (If I tell you about it, kumpel, then I'd have to kill you, and we don't want that now do we?),

Backstory: If people were to trace Liz's pedigree to back before the legendary rebellion, they would find that her distant ancestors once ruled a kingdom over the lands that are now part of Neviskotia. Of course, nobody other than some utterly bored bookwormish scholar locked in a basement with nothing better to do care a damn about that. Neither does she.

What she gave a damn about is the present day. The past is already gone by, nothing that could be done to alter it. Not like she liked to reminiscence about her past or anything, for she would rather forget about them instead.

Liz never knew who her father was, and for that matter, she still had no idea which of the small group of women that raised her during her earliest years was her mother, if her mother was amongst them to begin with. Growing up as a street kid in Sergei Port, life was anything but pleasant, but she survived, and anyone that survived a childhood of being a street orphan in those areas tends to end up toughened to survive most of the rest of the world. She was no exception.

Despite being a girl, she was big for her age, and more than strong enough to overpower most other street kids around her age. From a street child she switched to a small-time thief, then more into running a small gang of teenagers, before taking a turn in her life, and actually enlisting into the Neviskotian military.

It did not take her long to find out that the rather strict regulations in military life did not suit her, and it took her even less time to get herself dishonorably discharged from active service, which was the point where she started to live using the skills she earned during her days in the military and work as a freelance mercenary instead.

The first few years of mercenary life was difficult at best, and the marks of those hard, early years can still be read from the scars all over her body. Over the years, she found companions who she can trust, growing the small group of mercenaries – they never numbered more than ten at their largest, and are currently at seven – and taking up whatever jobs pays well and are reasonable.

Most of their activity had been along the border with Ursium, where they prove themselves to be a headache to the garrison forces, as well as being highly proficient of pulling hits in hostile territory. Their current presence in Ursium is due to an extended mission that will likely take them a while to complete.

Occupation: Freelance mercenary for-hire

Appearance:

Height: 5'1

Weight: 104 lbs

Nature/Disposition: Tends to complain on annoying jobs, but still does them anyway. Good natured, but hates it when people tease her about her shortness (or worse, her flatness).

Hometown: Kirsanov, Neviskotia

Connections: Danijel Vasilev (Father, High-ranking politician in Kirsanov), The Seven Deadly Sins.

Backstory: Born into a privileged family is not always a pleasant thing. For Tatyana it was more like being born as a bird living in a golden cage. No matter how pleasant and luxurious her surroundings are, she yearned for actual freedom. Her father is an important man, a politician of high standing in her hometown, who unfortunately views her as little more than a tool to use for his own political gains. Needless to say, she was not pleased with that.

When she was still a little kid, she started causing headaches for the guards employed at her father's manor when she sneaked out of the house every so often. Her father ended up telling the guards to be stricter with her, which only caused her to be more creative in her escapades. By the time she reached her teenage years, she must have already caused at least two dozen guardsmen to be fired from her father's employment, despite increasingly strict and elaborate measures to keep her from leaving the house at will.

Her escapades come to a breaking point when she was sixteen, when her father informed her that she was to marry a man of his choice and were to cease her shenanigans. Needless to say, she was not in an obedient mood and escaped the mansion in a more permanent manner instead, stuffing her pockets with enough valuables to last her a good while.

Life in the real world however, was not as easy as imagined. It was a mere few months before Tatyana found herself broke and destitute, far away from home. Desperate, she thought on resorting to thievery to survive. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on the point of view) for her, her first target just happened to be a half-drunk woman coming out of a tavern, who despite the copious amounts of alcohol she had consumed, still caught Tatyana red-handed and gave her the beating of her life.

When she woke up the next day, still hurting all over after being beaten up, Tatyana found herself lying on a bed, and with the same woman who trashed her the night before sitting nearby. That was how Tatyana met Liz for the first time, seven years ago.

Tatyana told Liz her story, and perhaps feeling sorry for the girl, Liz decided to take Tatyana under her wing. Of course, learning the tricks of the mercenary trade was anything but easy, but Liz found that Tatyana was good at doing things that require stealth and agility. Over the years, she eventually established a spot in the team as their scout, as well as pulling off the occasional assassination job, which she did not like, but does grudgingly.

She has refused to say much about her past, but has also proven to be a reliable and dependable member of the team, as well as being good at following orders. Liz has not tried to get the quiet girl to speak more about her past, for she understands well enough that most everyone has some skeletons they would prefer to keep buried.

Mount Gender: Male

Mount Species: Pegasus

Mount Age: 32

Mount Backstory: Charon belonged to Isis's mother Joanna, who was a pegasus knight of some standing before she married into the Ioannides family. An old, weathered veteran of many battles, Charon more than compensates for Isis's amateurish skills at his reins, and makes for a rather dangerous team to face, especially as Isis improves her skills over time. Charon has been by Isis's side since she was very young, and Isis often talks to Charon as if he was a person. Oddly enough, the pegasus often seems to understand at least part of what Isis says.

He owns a suit of full plate mail that costed him a couple year's wages to acquire.

Nature/Disposition: Despite his hulking size, he is a nice, caring man, who deeply loves his wife. He does not really like unnecessary violence, but rolls along with Liz since he respects her despite her amoral behavior.

Hometown: Tesalonika, Western Ursium

Connections: Leukos Ioannides (half-brother), Diomede Ioannides (nephew), Mercutio Silvanus (Ex-Fiancee), Isis Ioannides-Sanctis (WIfe/Niece), The Seven Deadly Sins

Backstory: The relationship between Jorge and Isis was a rather complicated one. To start with, Jorge was born as the bastard offspring of a minor noble and a maidservant. He was treated no differently than any child of a servant, and although his mother secretly told him about who his father was, he was raised to be just another servant in the mansion the family lives in. Isis on the other hand is born to the legitimate son of Jorge's father, and by extension, his niece. After Isis was born, Jorge was tasked to help the nanny who is in charge of the baby girl, and as the years pass, ended up as her guardian and caretaker.

Watching the little baby girl grow up until she eventually reached womanhood caused Jorge to care for Isis greatly, likely more than he cared for his own well-being. When he crossed the line from loving the girl as a relative to loving the girl as a woman, even he could not tell, but he suppressed his feelings, knowing all too well that it was a forbidden feeling dwelling inside his heart. That, and he worried about her future as well, for the child of a noble to be romantically involved with a mere servant would cause a scandal that would tarnish her name.

What he did not suspect was that Isis also grew fond of him over the years, and had harbored similar thoughts, at first thinking they must have just been a child's crush, but eventually realizing that her feelings for Jorge were very real. Much like him, she kept her feelings bottled up inside her heart, in part because she is afraid, not for herself, but for the man she cared about, for she knew her parents would not take things lightly if they found out about her feelings.

This awkward relationship lasted for around two years, until Isis's seventeenth birthday, where her father suddenly announced that she is to be engaged to a son of another noble. That situation naturally placed Isis in a dilemma, and when Jorge tried to congratulate her for the engagement, she ended up confessing her true feelings to him. He was surprised, as happy as a man can be, and yet conflicted upon hearing her confession. He pondered over what course of action to take together with her, until he decided to gamble it all and talk to Isis's father, his half-brother, about the situation.

The talk went about as well as could be expected.

More enraged than ever, Leukos ordered Jorge arrested and thrown into jail, to be executed as soon as he could clear things up with the town magistrate. He then went to Isis's room, slapped his daughter, and went on to scold her for her "stupidity" and "irresponsibility", leaving the girl weeping. What he did only strengthened Isis's resolve to be with the one man she loves however, and the girl, who had been the model of an obedient daughter throughout her life, went and took actions of her own instead.

Isis did not know exactly what she could do on her own however, there was no one she could ask for help, and she definitely could not do much on her own. Her enthusiasm crushed as Jorge's execution day arrives, she had spent the night in the stables, bleary and delusional, talking of her troubles to the horses, heartbroken and out of hopes. She woke up with a start when she heard a loud, crashing noise. As she woke up, she found Charon, the old pegasus which once belonged to her mother and had been her friend since early childhood standing near her, nodding at her, as if gesturing for her to ride him.

Isis had ridden horses before, but it was the first time she ever rode a pegasus. As Charon took to the skies, she held on for dear life, and the sight of the city shrinking below her took her breath. She soon gained her composure however, and nudged Charon to circle around as she looked for the spot where Jorge was to be executed. She found it soon enough, and as if understanding what she had in mind, Charon dived down, causing Isis to scream in fear, and landed right on top of the executioner just as they were bringing Jorge up the ramp.

To say that the crowd was surprised was an understatement, and to say that her father was beyond furious was another understatement. Isis jumped down from Charon and ran towards Jorge, quickly trying to untie his binds. When a soldier tried to grab her, he found himself on the receiving end of Charon's hooves. Having untied Jorge, they both mounted Charon - the one time the pegasus has allowed someone other than Isis to mount him - and flew off.

Escaping from the town was the easy part, but they soon found that escaping from the clutches of Isis's father to be more difficult. Scorned, Leukos had hired mercenaries and bounty hunters with orders to kill Jorge and bring Isis back at all costs. They managed to escape the first few encounters, but eventually their luck ran out, and the bounty hunters cornered them. Jorge was hurt, and Isis could not fight at the time. Their fate was apparently sealed.

Or not.

In what could only be described as an extremely fortunate coincidence, they ran towards a seemingly abandoned cabin, either to hide or to make a last stand there. When they barged into the cabin, out of breath, they found that it was actually occupied. The people inside the cabin were Liz and her team, taking a rest on their way back towards Neviskotian territory, and when they noticed the group of bounty hunters chasing after Jorge and Isis they were less than pleased.

Neither were the bounty hunters pleased when they entered the cabin expecting light resistance only to find four annoyed people who are more than capable of murdering them in cold blood staring at them. Taken by surprise, the fight, if it could be called that, lasted less than a minute, and none of the bounty hunters chasing after Jorge and Isis managed to leave the cabin alive.

Finished with the annoyance, Liz then turned towards Jorge and Isis, demanding them explain just what were they doing. Seeing no point to disobey, the couple told her of their tale, which either hit a soft spot in her heart, or else she found it amusing. One way or another, she offered to take them with her to Neviskotia, where they could start a new life if they want to. They accepted the unexpected offer, and once they managed to cross the border, decided to help out instead to pay their debt to Liz, which leads to their eventual joining with the mercenaries.

Occupation: Freelance mercenary for-hire

Appearance:

Height: 6'0

Weight: 176 lbs

Nature/Disposition: Confident, arrogant, condescending, materialistic, and rude. Rather annoying as a person, but a very reliable fighter, in part because she has the skills to back up the arrogance. Despite at times being best friends, at times rivals, and at other times mortal enemies, Salicia can often be found together with Liz when she goes out to look for "Entertainment".

Hometown: Alesia Village, Ursium

Connections: The Seven Deadly Sins, ???

Backstory: Children of peasants, life was not particularly easy, but nor was it unpleasant for little Salicia. With her parent unable to cope with their eight children (her being the fourth-born), she was mostly left in the care of her grandparents. As a child, the one thing she loved the most was accompanying her grandfather whenever he goes hunting, and as she grew up, her grandfather taught her how to shoot a bow, something she took up quickly. By the time she reached her tenth year of age, her grandfather started taking her out on hunts where he allowed her to try hunt on her own.

Living as a hunter in a small village was an easy enough life, but it did not satisfy her. She wanted to have more in her life, and soon enough, she found a way to get what she wants. Shooting a man is not only easier than shooting a wild animal, but it also pays off exponentially better. Wagering on her skills with the bow, she left the village, enlisted in the first mercenary company she came across, and started to make her living as a hunter of men.

Salicia first met Liz eight years ago, by then having lived four years as a mercenary. Liz was fresh to the mercenary trade at the time, having just gotten herself discharged from the army, and the two were on opposing sides. During the battle, Salicia had Liz in her sights, and loosed an arrow that struck her directly in the right eye. Liz returned the favor when they met again two years later, where she led an ambush that caught Salicia's company. The saying "an eye for an eye" was taken literally in this case, and Liz did just that, prying out Salicia's right eye before ransoming her and other prisoners off to their side.

They met again a year after the last incident, and by a twist of fate, circumstances forced the bitter enemies to work together to save their own hides. From that one battle, the hostility between the two women turned into more of a rivalry, and eventually, grudging respect for each other. Salicia officially joined Liz's little troupe three and a half years ago, although half a year after that, she vanished somewhere for almost a year, before coming back as if nothing had happened. She and Liz bicker all the time, yet make for a devastating team on the battlefield, enemies, rivals, and friends for now and forever.

Nature/Disposition: A soft spoken man with a soft spot for children. Incredibly polite to women, almost a weakness of his. Drops the politeness during battle mostly, brings out a far more serious attitude. Has no aversion to killing if needed to protect himself or somebody else

Hometown: Neviskotia, Ohka

Connections: Robin, The Cult

Backstory: Son to the captain of the town guard Zachary was almost the exact opposite of his father. Soft spoken and somewhat shy, Zach would have rather stayed inside and study magic tomes that were given to him by a wandering sage after Zach showed interest in magic, rather than go outside and train with a sword. Fascinated by the power of the tomes that lay before him Zachary almost devoted every waking moment to practicing what was in them, alienating almost everything around him except for his family and his childhood friend Robin. When he managed to form his first bolt of lightning and send it forward into a wooden dummy he was ecstatic and fascinated by the pure power that the firing had given him. Not long after he had began his descent into the magic arts, Zachary's father was killed in a raid on the town. Determined to become stronger to protect the rest of his important people he trained incredibly hard. Unfortunately, even his skill with Magic couldn't save his mother when she fell ill and died near his 18th birthday. Not long after her death Zachary left Ohka behind him, leaving only a letter to tell of his intentions to journey for a way to become a master of magic.

[spoiler=Backstory]Blake's father, Joe Frode, was a Dragon Slayer, having cut down two dragons with difficulty. Even as a young child, Blake was trained to hate Skotians, hate Dragons, and above all, respect his father's will. For fifteen years, he was the obedient son, never questioning his elder. However, that all changed one night when he found an injured wyvern rider and their mount. Initially, Blake was tempted to call the garrison and leave the soldiers to dispose of the obvious blasphemer, but for some reason, he just didn't have the heart to do so. Maybe it was the pitiful look on the wyvern's face, or maybe it was the pleas of desperation from its' master, but no matter the cause, the boy led the war victims to shelter, where they could recover for a while.

Day after day, Blake would leave his house under various excuses such as running errands, and would head up to the little grove where the refugees would reside, carrying food for the wyvern and the rider. In exchange, the soldier would tell him about wyverns, dragons, and the world outside of Urcenter, which, after a while, flat-out erased the hatred Blake had held for the winged beasts. As time went on, Blake grew more and more fond of the soldier, and began to visit more and more often. It was a good thing, and good things never lasted, did they?

One day, on the way back from a visit to the grove, Joe caught his son mid-route, having become suspicious of his various disappearances. After knocking the boy out, Joe Frode went up to the grove, and returned some time later, with blood on his axes' edge. They never spoke of the wyvern rider again, but their relationship was never the same.

Joe died three years later of a fever, which left Blake the sole heir of the estate. He quickly loaned the manse out to the army, and left the city, with no aim in his life.

Occupation: "Problem Solver", or mercenary if you're feeling dull.
Appearance: Gar's skin is tanned heavily, his white hair is cut short, and his gray eyes perceive targets like an eagle. 6'1" in height, he is clad in a beige cloak that covers the whole of his body, only his feet and head are visible. The cloak has a hood, but he never puts it up. Underneath the cloak is a black outfit that covers ever inch of skin with several pouches on his belt and a sling across his chest.
Nature/Disposition: Cynical, practical, confident to the point of arrogance, sarcastic.
Hometown: Doesn't matter.
Connections: Others in his Guild.

Backstory: Once an idealistic military youth, now a cynical and practical person. Garfield was born to a family of no notable talents, but he was raised well enough. His parents passed on fairly early, leaving Garfield to join the military in order to keep himself afloat. Garfield's first official assignment was just a simple patrol that took his little group through some nice and safe small villages. But them being safe and small was what attracted a very nasty band of outlaws and cutthroats to them. While passing through the second of said villages, the little patrol group was ambushed. The young Garfield fought bravely, but was overwhelmed when others broke ranks and fled. Those that remained might have held, had the villagers themselves not been coerced into attacking as well. Things grew worse, and Garfield was eventually knocked out in the fighting.

But he did not die. He awoke at night, next to a campfire next to a man in a black cloak. The conversation that eventually happened between the two told the story of how the man in black--Boss--came upon the village. He single-highhandedly slew all the assailing belligerents--the bandits and traitorous villagers wiped out. But so was Garfield's unit.

His perceptions shattered by events, and with no home to return to, Garfield mindlessly followed Boss, and the crime he encountered along the way shattered his ideals. Eventually be taken in as a new pupil in the Howling Voice Guild, a group of, "problem solvers" that the Boss led. His military training served him well, and he took to their particular combat style well enough. He was recently selected to be place as an, "Ascendant" the rank before someone joins the Council of Masters which governs the Howling Voice in Boss's many absences.

When a particularly interesting case came up regarding the so-called legendary Fire Emblem, Gar and a few others was sent out to be the Howling Voice's men on the scene.

[spoiler=Jamila Apollonios]
Name: Jamila Apollonios
Nickname: Peanut Butter Jam
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Class: Level 2-2 Virtuoso
Affinity: Light
Weapon proficiency: Light Magic
Inventory: Radiant Beatdown (Resistance-Sapping Light Tome), Combat knife, Vulnerary (2), Skill Book 1, Enchanted Headband
Occupation: Runaway/Traveling dancer

Appearance: Jamila's physical traits show off her diverse heritage. Her brown skin comes from her mother's side of the family, hailing from Rex-Avaz. The dancer's blonde hair and green eyes come from her Ursium father. She often wraps her hair in a ponytail to keep it out of her face. At 5'0" (152 cm) and 95 lbs (43 kg), Jamila is quite lithe, perfect for her given occupation. Her attire is fairly common for dancers: minimal and revealing. Her lilac vest has gold accents and is worn of a dark blue haltertop. Both are short but enough to cover her chest. This leaves an exposed midriff. Her ruffled mini skirt (think cheerleader) emphasizes her long legs. Her headband is not meant to go on her head; it's small enough to wrap around her left thigh. Her sandals wrap around her calves, reaching just under her knees. Finally, Jamila has a blue hairclip and matching beads to accent her hair. For times when she doesn't want to attract too much attention, Jamila will don a long brown robe to blend in with crowds.

She currently wears a red bandana given to her from Erion. It is said to put her in good standing with a certain band of thieves in Kigen.

Nature/Disposition: Optimistic to a fault. No matter how dire the situation, Jamila always believes good fortune is just around the corner. She often tries to spread this cheer to others with varying results (again, think cheerleader). Hometown: Rex-Avaz/Ursium Connections: None yet.

Backstory: Jamila was the product of a marriage that made business sense. Her mother's family, spice traders of Rex-Avaz, formed a trade pact with arms dealers from Ursium by pairing their daughter and son, respectively. Once the marriage was complete, both parties parted ways to take advantage of their new items. As a result, Jamila was raised in the desert by her mother's family. The girl always had a keen interest in exploring areas in her homeland and beyond, but her family kept her sheltered. They deemed such haphazard wandering as too dangerous for a young lady. Fortunately, staying within her village allowed Jamila to discover her favorite pastime: dancing. She often performed in groups with her fellow classmates for big celebrations within the village. Still, her heart wanted to see what the world offered.
When she turned 15, Jamila's father was coming back after a long journey across the continent. She decided that she wanted to travel with him and his family. Surely living with traveling merchants would allow her to do all the traveling she could possibly want to do. In addition, she could get to know her father. Unfortunately, his idea of quality family time was to stick Jamila in an abbey to learn light magic and the proper manners of a lady. Life there constrained her more than her mother's family. They wouldn't even let her dance openly, seeing it as far too provocative. It seemed both sides of the family wanted to keep the girl as some caged bird, and she wouldn't have it any longer. She ran away from the abbey to begin a new life exploring the world. Currently, Jamila is traveling with a merchant. In exchange for the ride, she agreed to help support his security detail. The deal worked out quite well for the girl, as it allowed her dance whenever they stopped into town (earning some gold along the way). It was quite a change from her safe life with her family, but the adventure more than made up for it in Jamila's mind.

[spoiler=Not in use, saved for a rainy day]

Name: Dimitri Niko

Nickname: Curse words that can't be written here


Gender: Male

Age: 25

Class: Level 2-1 Rouge

Affinity: Ice

Occupation: Grave Robber, part-time conman

Nature/Disposition: Despite his suspect occupation, Dimitri is really a nice guy. Sure, he lies, cheats and steals, but what real harm comes from that? He sees his thievery as a way to get people to devalue the material world and realize that life is more than gold and jewels. Most people would disagree with him, so Dimitri tends to stick with dead people for his acquisitions. To get to these "clients", the rouge sneaks into graveyards late at night. Almost every dig produces a good bit of treasure, usually jewels and rare weaponry. Even the body itself is very valuable to local doctors.

Dimitri is also a bit of a conman, which has helped him cash in on some very lucrative benefits.

Hometown: Somewhere in Ursium

Connections: Dimitri has ditched all connections of his past life, as they all want him dead.

Backstory: Dimitri grew up in a country village in Ursium. Had he stuck to his roots, he might have grown up into a decent fellow. Sadly, as he grew into his teens, the boy desired a life in the city. This led to him running with the wrong crowd: a band of slavers working across the borders. His first job didn't last long; feeling bad for the young girls and women, Dimitri unlocked the doors to their cells and set them free. This did not sit well with his bosses: they fired him. And by fired, they shot him and threw him in a grave. Dimitri wasn't alone in said grave: a boy trying to play hero earlier in the day shared the final resting place. The brigands had no time to bury the two, as they had to chase down their "merchandise". As time went on, the boy began to talk to the corpse. "So, what are you in for? What's life like on the other side?" It may have been the blood loss, but Dimitri could have sworn that the dead guy talked back. He "told" him to take his coat and get out. With what strength he had left, Dimitri took the corpse's coat and took off. It seemed like forever, but the rouge eventually made it to a house. He was greeted by an old man with heavy cataracts, who seemed to have confused him with someone else.

"Horatio? My boy! Did you succeed in defeating the slavers?"

It seemed the man had thought that Dimitri was the former owner of the coat that he wore. He desperately needed care, so what harm could come from playing the part of the boy. His wounds allowed Dimitri to play the part of the stereotypical amnesiac swordsman, quickly gaining him a warm bed and medical care. Turns out the old man was once a swordmaster, with Horatio as his last apprentice. He vowed to reteach all that he knew once more to revive Horatio's memory. Suffering from "amnesia", Dimitri was able to pick up the sword skills originally passed down to Horatio.

As time went on, the old master succumbed to his age. He left all of his belongings and gold to Horatio (who is still Dimitri). This gave the rouge enough gold to begin a new life. He chose to follow the path that had brought him good fortune: dead people. He made quite a fortune in claiming their belongings, but it wasn't until he found the grave of a Count Bartholomew Donatelli that he became very wealthy. Within the grave were not jewels or swords but secrets. Information that could only be known by the late count himself, all contained in a very lengthy journal within the corpse's arms. Dimitri took in all that he could, from land deeds to famed vineyards, to some very useful blackmail material. As he flipped through the pages, the rogue saw his opening. Ol' Barth had a very scandalous affair with a stable girl by the name of Delilah. The family was not particularly pleased with the matter, particularly his wife. An "accident" was arranged, and poor Delilah was taken out of the picture. The count however had confided in his journal that he had faked the girl's death, sending her off with enough gold to live out the rest of her life in peace. The story should have ended there, but Dimitri was set to begin the next chapter.

And so, during the anniversary of the count's son's disappearance (another useful tidbit from the journal), Dimitri confronted the Donatelli family and claimed to be the illegitimate son of Bartholomew and Delilah. They didn't take to him at first, but after some behind the scenes blackmail and other dealings…well, they still didn't like him, but Dimitri was able to claim the inheritance anyways. That inheritance included a massive mansion on a fruitful vineyard, the title of count, and even his own private army. Life as Count Horatio Donatelli (chosen alias) was pretty good.

All good things must come to an end however. Bartholomew's wife was digging deeper into Dimitri's story; she would no doubt find Delilah and learn the truth. Of greater concern, her son (and rightful heir to all the stuff Dimitri claimed) turned out to be alive. He was coming back from military service to dispel rumors of his death. In a matter of weeks, Bartholomew II ("the Ballbreaker" as his fellow soldiers called him) would bring doom to the rogue's lifestyle. Needless to say, Dimitri had to leave Horatio behind and start anew once more.

He finds himself in _________, looking for said new beginning. Mercenary work had caught his eye; it was the farthest he could get from his past life of living it up in a mansion. Should any of their members happen to die, the rogue could find a way to cash in on their possessions and regain his fortune. Yes, this was the beginning of a brand new story for Dimitri Niko (his current name).

[spoiler=Evangeline Valentina]

Name: Evangeline Valentina

Nickname: Eva

Gender: Female

Age: 21

Class: 2/3 Wyvern Knight

Affinity: Wind

Weapon proficiency: Swords

Weapon of Choice: Personal Barrier Sword she decided to keep instead of sell

Inventory:
Advanced Barrier Sword
Bulwark

Raw Stats: Hp: 10 Str: 10 Mag: 0 Skl: 4 Spd: 7 Lck: 1 Def: 9 Res: 1

Simplified Stats: Hp: 30 Mt: 10 Hit: 5 AS: 7 Evd: 8 Def: 9 Res: 8

Occupation: Traveling Merchant

Appearance: Green, tiny eyes, Long, auburn hair, a slight tan, and a tiny frame complete Eva. Her frame contains little fat, most of whatever's there being muscle from swinging a sword around and flying. To add to that, she's fairly tall (5'10"), so she looks much thinner than she is.

Nature/Disposition: A fairly average girl with little aspirations, she tends to try to be nice to almost everyone, standing up for people (as long as she agrees with them), and doing her best to be cheerful in most situations. It takes a lot to get her upset. A bit of a flirt as well, though it takes her a bit to realize when people are flirting at her.

Hometown: Makarov

Connections: Who knows!

Backstory: Eva was the child of a weapon's worker and a beast tamer, her father and mother respectively. Growing up she was surrounded by both metal work and many wyverns, so she got accustomed to the sight of both, though she wasn't spectacular at either. As she grew, the metalwork became easier, and her father gave her lessons all through her teenage years. At eighteen, her mother gave her the present of a wyvern, whom she affectionately called Sasha. She spent a few years attempting to ride him, but never got any better. Most of her mother's wyverns would've given up on such a rider, but some form of pity inhabited this one, and it wanted to see Eva succeed, at least once, in flying properly. At twenty, she'd finally done it, though the landing wasn't the most spectacular. Eva then decided that sitting at home wasn't something she wanted to do her whole life. She wanted to sell the weapons she'd been making, and travel, now that she could actually fly almost competently. She set off weeks after her first successful flight.

Mount Name: Sasha
Mount Nickname: Lizard
Mount Gender: Male
Mount Species: Wyvern
Mount Age: 12
Mound Appearance: A dull green shines on his scales, the skin around his wings another dull grey.
Mount Personality: Generally disinterested in those around him, has a strange fixation on making Eva succeed.
Mount Relations: ???
Mount Backstory: Sasha was raised by Eva's mother and given to the girl when the lizard was but ten. It wasn't the most proud beast, and despite being embarrassed of its rider, it wanted to see her succeed, enthused by her drive to keep on trying. Probably just some form of pity, to be honest.

[spoiler=Haruhi Akiyama]

Name: Haruhi Akiyama
Nickname: Haru
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Class: Druid 2/2
Affinity: Ice
Weapon proficiency: Dark
Weapon of Choice: Arc Tome
Inventory: Arc Tome, Imperial Headband
Raw Stats: HP: 7 STR: 0 MAG: 10 SKL: 6 SPD: 8 LCK: 1 DEF: 2 RES: 5
Simplified Stats: HP: 21 Mt: 15 HIT: 7 AS: 8 AVO: 9 DEF: 2 RES: 9

Occupation: Drifter/student
Appearance: Haruhi has large, light blue eyes, short black hair, and slightly pale skin. She's incredibly skinny, and not athletic in the least. But she is fairly tall, rocking five feet and seven inches of height. Because of this, she doesn't come across as very feminine. It does make her slightly self conscious, but no one's ever picked on her for it, so this fear is unfounded. She wears a large traveling cloak over a plain white shirt and some baggy pants that reach her ankles, sandals on her feet. Tied around her forehead is the headband her father gave her.
Nature/Disposition: Before learning magic, Haruhi was incredibly depressed about her life situation. Once she'd managed to cast her first spell, her outlook turned around. Despite relegating herself to a life of discrimination by running away from home, the chance to learn magic and support her family (if she could find work) was enough hope to keep her smiling. She tends to view situations as easily surmountable, as long as she can throw a flux spell at it, and overestimates how strong this magic is. This leads her to overlook important things in life, and get herself into trouble. Of course, this only extends to situations; she has no delusions of grandeur about being more skilled than she is. But because of her magic, she's able to look at life optimistically.

Hometown: Ogata, a small village outside of Shin.
[spoiler=Backstory]Haruhi was born into a poor Kigenese family. Her father, Shinjiro Akiyama, was a warrior in the Bu class of Kigen. He was but a footsoldier, but lest he bring shame to his family's name, he worked as hard as he could. The luxuries presented to some of her village's other daughter were not provided for her. Her mother, Ritsuko did her best to teach her daughter all that could be taught with the funds and resources they had. While this was not much, she was taught how to care for the house, proper manners, how to cook and clean, and by the age of eleven, she was practically doing this all by herself. Her mother appreciated how hard working her daughter seemed, but deep down, Haruhi despised this sort of life. One day whilst doing the shopping for her family, while her mother was taking a rare day to clean the house herself, she spotted a man carrying a rather impressive tome under his arm. As politely as she could, she stopped him, and asked him what it was. Despite her appearance (which was rather disheveled, as her father could afford only the most basic of clothing), he plainly told her that it was a dark magic tome. A question popped into her head, but she didn't ask, for fear of stepping out of place. She bowed to the man and let him be.

A few years later, her father suffered a grievous wound in battle; he lost both his right arm, and his eye. He'd managed to survive thanks to a bout of quick healing, but he lost his rank in the Bu class, as a one armed man made for a poor soldier. Relegated to the Dan class of citizenry, he would work himself all day, tending to a farm nearby his village. With their funds decreased even further, and almost nothing to their name, Haruhi was passed over by many for prospective marriage. A girl with nothing but the simple skills almost every other possessed wasn't wanted by many. By the age of fourteen, she's started stealing from people in the village, as there wasn't much lower she could sink. Mostly to make ends meet, but there was an odd time where something would catch her eye. It just so happened that the man carrying the tome passed through their village again. He appeared to work higher up in the Bu for the leading Shogun, in the city of Shin, not too far away. Her attitude towards figures of authority having changes drastically in the three years since she had seen the man, she did her best to set out and steal the tome that he'd had. Though it took her tailing him between alleys for almost an hour, she managed to get a hold of it, without him noticing (he was busy perusing a meat stand, and had left his bag on the ground.)

As best as she could, she spent the next three years of her life reading through this book, and attempting to practice the magics within. It took her that long because it was something her father would never allow, as a woman of Kigen without a husband. Her place was at the home taking care of it, with her mother. So in secret she worked. When she finally managed to cast a spell, she felt such elation that living her miserable life was almost worth it. But of course, she was seventeen now. Being so old without a husband was putting her in the Unwanted category of women, and wasn't giving her a very prosperous chance at life. Her parents knew this, but they were struggling to simply make ends meet on their own. She knew something had to be done, and she'd hated this life anyway. Without telling either of them and without leaving a letter, she took what little she had and set off with this new magical knowledge, hoping to find work or a way of living elsewhere on the continent. All she had in her possession was the tome she'd stolen and the headband her father wore when he'd been a soldier.

Of course, traveling alone as an Unwanted was dangerous. She managed to get her hands on a large cloak and because of her size and hair, it was fairly easy to pass herself off as a boy, as long as she didn't speak. She'd gotten used to stealing to live, so she did so whenever she had to, running as fast as she could carry herself if spotted. The last thing she needed was to be beaten, as Unwanted were. Of course, overconfidence in her magic lead to poor choices at times, and she found herself besieged by three bandits on the road one day. She'd been keeping to the main road because she felt that her magic was strong enough to handle a bandit, but this hubris led to the unfortunate situation of being surrounded by three. She didn't know anything advanced enough to attack multiple targets. Looking for any sort of opening she could find, none came to mind that wouldn't get her injured, and she'd managed to stay away from injury this long. Healing services were something she could not afford, and this was assuming she managed to get away from them at all. It was at this point in her thinking that one of the men froze. The other stopped to stare at him, but he collapsed on the ground, not moving, and arrow stuck in his throat. The other two men started to back away, and this gave Haruhi a chance. She blasted one with a ball of flux, leaving the last one running for his life.

In the aftermath of all this, an older woman hopped herself out of a nearby tree, bow drawn at Haruhi. She didn't make any sudden moves, as being shot would leave her in the same place as if the bandits had gotten her; in extreme pain without any way of fixing it. But this woman didn't shoot. Instead she lowered her bow, and began to chide Haruhi, for walking by herself in such a country. She became especially mad once she discovered that Haruhi was also just a girl, placing a hand on her face and sighing. She began to leave, giving Haruhi some words of advice to stay safe, but Haruhi saw this as a perfect chance to safely travel. She dashed after the woman, and pleaded to travel together, receiving a bit of a weird stare. This woman reluctantly agreed, but once again gave Haruhi some harsh words about staying safe. It didn't matter; she wouldn't have much to worry about now. Learning that the woman's name was Rin, she decided that she would listen to whatever advice was given, as she seemed to be a rather skilled person.

[spoiler=Amalia Denisov]

Name: Amalia Denisov
Nickname: Ami
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Class: Swordmaster
Affinity: Water
Weapon of Choice: A fairly plain and sturdy sword, although it is bound together slightly better. A rune is inscribed for quick changes of direction.
Inventory: Brave Sword, Firewall (Light for res), Switch Book

Simplified Stats: Hp: 21 Str: 7 Mag: 1 Hit: 9 AS: 12 Avo: 14 Def: 1 Res: 1
Occupation: Street Performer
Appearance: Amalia has round, hazel colored eyes, with tiny speckles of gold in them. Her brown hair matches her eyes fairly well, and runs down her back, almost to her waist. Her skin is rather pale, but has tanned slightly due to her travels. She's rather thin, but has enough strength to wield her sword and not run out of stamina immediately. She wears shorts under a long dress with slits around the knees to prevent it from getting in the way of her fighting, and a light blue blouse on top. Underneath the blouse is a white tank top. She prefers to be a bit conservative in dressing.
Nature/Disposition: Amalia likes to help people to enjoy themselves, and she does her best through the little light magic she knows and her sword dancing. Whenever she comes across a dispute, she will try to solve it civily, to the best of her abilities. She doesn't enjoy having to fight, nor would she ever want to kill anyone. Incapacitate at the worst.
Hometown: Travels the roads
Connections: Uriel
Backstory: Amalia is a traveling performer in the only way she knows; sword dancing. Her family's relatives were old performers and she learned a few tricks from them. Once she'd learned how to use a sword, it only took another couple of years learning from another group of performers in Neviskotia to incorporate it into a routine. Having the basest understanding of light magic also helped, as it made her shows that much more entertaining and gave them the special flash they needed. She's been handling herself like this for a few years, and it's worked out so far.

A few weeks ago, the group she'd been traveling with currently decided to visit a border town of Neviskotia. There, she met a man she used to know, Uriel. Although their reunion was rather awkward for her, she decided it was for the best that they'd met again. It was almost nice to meet old "friends".
