I went through the old forum looking for my first participation in this idea, and found this.
http://www.aetolia.com/node/58217?page=3#comment-500762
I've changed. Reux's changed. Lin changed. My gripe about 'pretty girls' has also been embraced, from what weeks I've been roaming Spines and Loch.
Reux Ve'kahi
Race: Azudim (wouldn't change to Idreth if given the chance)
Gender: Male (wouldn't change if upgraded to a gem)
Guild/House: Bloodborn/Ve'kahi
City: Bloodloch
Order: Erzsebet, Goddess of SHINIES
The Look - Vampre
Hair: None
Eyes: Black
Height: 7' at most, but a slouch can accompany a less-than-pleasant mood
Build: Athletic
Defining Features: Pale flesh-tone, dark bumps away from the underbelly/head. Idea came from looking at this while thinking about the werecroc details. The reversion back to a Tekal-ish form is due to torpor, and he'll most likely grow his fur back once I'm confident I know my own character again.
Clothing: The loincloth.
Tattoos, Piercings, Scars: None. This is likely to change the longer he remains furless and pining for more of Omei's attention.
The Look - Werecroc
Hair: None
Eyes: Red
Height: 9'+, with slouch
Build: Athletic
Defining Features: Black spikes/frills along the spine and tail. This is the first opportunity for the demon blood that's supposed to run in Reux's sire's line, Khezar, to really show up. That eyes show up at all, instead of being white-shot.
Clothing: Still the loincloth.
Tattoos, Piercings, Scars: None.
Personality
Strengths: Eagerness, confidence, little things are less important than the bigger picture.
Weaknesses: Impatience. While torpor and time have dulled his trust issues (loyalty/paranoia gets trashed in this regard), frustration at too little happening too slowly has not been changed in the slightest.
Attitude: Curious. Tends to 'look up to', rather then 'look down upon'. It's like being a novice again.
Morals: Awareness of body, mind, and heart are all necessary to be progressive and purposeful. You need to have desires, know how to reach these desires, and have the ability to earn these things for yourself. This awkwardly puts him at edge with just about all the dark gods.
Pet Peeves: Bloodrank taken seriously. Non-living flirtatious or sexual advances toward him.
Best way to piss me off: Courtesy is still that important. Please and thank you separates prey from predators.
Best way to get on my good side: Don't incite his impatience. Answer questions, offer advice, and take his help when he offers it. Stroking his ego can come when he respects himself proper again.
Favorites
Color: Green
Profession: Shapeshifter (Werecroc)
Profession Skill: SUBMERGE
General Skill: NIMBLENESS
Location: His Den. This is likely to change as levels go up and the haven is expanded.
God/Goddess: Rahn is still the paradigm, though Omei is looking more attractive the more he has to give Her any focus, and probably try convincing Her to give the darker side a shot. Depending, Chak may just get the attention She's deserved since he was first married as a Daru.
House Head: Erzsebet. She is Ve'kahi and Ve'kahi would be lost without her.
Commodity: Steel. Diorite may just take this place once I find time to craft.
Village/forest/region: Tossup between the island of Polyargos and the marshes around Fengard. Both have too many pleasant memories tied around them.
NPC: Krisiina, High Mage of Xaanhal.
Memory: Killing Yudhishthira as a jawan and dropping the corpse before his sire, as a part of the proof he was worth embracing.
Song: Currently, the natural noises of an undisturbed, vibrantly natural setting. While this used to be hanging in the tops of trees in a forest, resting submerged in a swamp gives the same peace of mind. There isn't a lot of constructed music in his life though, so this can easily change by a patient bard!
Drink: General Xaeon's blood.
Mindset
Goals: Become capable once more. Regular death will follow after. I have a feeling the ties to the werecroc are going to have me make him more family oriented sooner than later.

THE ESSENTIALS
Race: Idreth (was Atavian)
Gender: Female
Guild/House: Syssin
City: Spinesreach
THE LOOK
Hair: Red, long and curly. Dark red, long, loose curls.
Eyes: Green/gold
Height: I went with "towering" mostly because I didn't want to commit to a particular height. Finally settled on 'average for a female Idreth' which in my head is about 5'10" -5'11".
Build: Athletic.
Defining Features: Her wings.
Clothing: Practical. She enjoys earthy tones - green and brown mostly. Obsidian and gold.
Tattoos: None.
Piercings: None.
Scars: None. Scar on her left palm.
PERSONALITY
Strengths: She's fiercely loyal to Spinesreach and the Syssin. She's passionate about what she sets her mind to and particularly hard working.
Weaknesses: She's a very curious individual which oftentimes leads her into situations she'd rather not be in. Further, sometimes her passionate personality makes her come off as bossy. She's got a problem empathizing with others.
Attitude: She used to be very bubbly and high spirited, but she was driven to rest due to drama and woke up particularly jaded because of the state of her guild and a host of rather horrible nightmares that she had while resting. but now she's just a really frigid, sort of unapproachable, person. Though, she's quite warm around those who manage to get past the series of carefully constructed walls around her.
Morals/Work Ethic: Very hardworking.
Pet Peeves: She hates being touched. There's a very short list of people who can touch her without her getting quite irritated. She also has a great distaste for lazy people or people who only want to do things for the orgs they have sworn loyalty to if there's something in it for them. Unguilded Syssin.
Best way to piss her off: Starting needless drama, trying to pressure her into something she does not want to do, or lying to her.
Best way to get on her good side: Work hard, show ambition and have a decent sense of humor.
FAVORITES
Color: Green, Brown, Obsidian and gold
Profession: Syssin
Profession Skill: Snipe
General Skill: Scent
Location: Her haven. The sanctuary in the Syssin GH.
God/Goddess: Severn
Guild Master/House leader: None.
Tattoo: Bell
Artifact: Quiver Her +con hairpin or her mantle of dissolution.
Commodity: Wood.
Animal: Phoenix Crow
Item owned: Her violin. An icicle hairpin that her fiance gave her, her engagement ring (which she fiddles with from time to time), her Syssin ring.
Village/forest/region: Spinesreach
NPC: Her phoenix hatchling. WARMASTER RHAUV!
Memory: Part of her story is that she doesn't have any memories from before she was inducted into the Syssin. Her first clear memory is sitting at the Inner Gates talking to Ishin about the Syssin. Because its her first, it's her favorite. One time, when she was feeling particularly down (before they started dating), @Ingram decided to bring her to Djeir. When they got there, he said "let's act like snobby Djeirans" and they made up aliases and spent the time being ridiculous. At one point, a denizen even joined them to be snotty with them.
Drink: Lemonade Her own blackberry sweet tea.
MINDSET
Goals: Finding out who she was before she joined the Syssin. Helping the Syssin grow and become a stronger Guild. Helping Spinesreach grow and become a stronger City. Destroying the Shadowbound.
Ambitions: She's happy playing support.
Nemesis: None. She's not the biggest fan of @Rashar. Like all non-Guilded Syssin, she sees him as a 'counterfeit' and a waste of potential, but she also finds him particularly arrogant.
Rival: None.
Best Friend: @Ingram, @Kelliara and @Ishin
Idol: None
Best personal achievement: Her violin concert for Spinesreach back in her youth. She conquered her fear of crowds and was quite proud of the finished product. Getting GM of the Syssin. She still thinks being called "General" is weird and it has taken some getting used to, but to be able to serve her Guild in such a meaningful and direct manner brings her a good deal of pride.
Worst personal achievement: Letting the drama get to her and push her to sleep for so long. She feels quite guilty about ditching her friends, children and husband like that.
Proudest moment: Maybe not the proudest - but she was really happy to fix the breakdown in communication between the Syssin and Spinesreach regarding a new treaty. The Syssin vestment ritual/oath process for any of the junior members who go through it. She loves seeing them progress and go through the ritual, every time.
Most shameful moment: Doesn't really have one yet.
Secret dream: There's a song that has been haunting her since she can remember. It's the reason she picked up a violin to begin with (and somehow knew how to play though had no memory of learning). Her dream is to one day compose it but every time she tries, she gets too emotional and has to work on another project instead.
If she could make one wish..: She would find out who she was before she joined the Syssin.
SUMMARY
Why you should hate her: She doesn't tolerate excuses, is rather blunt, and can be exceptionally impatient.
Why you should love her: She's incredibly loyal to those she cares about, has a decent sense of humor and a rather nurturing heart (if you can get to it under the multiple walls of ice).
Why you should fear her: I can't think of any reason to really fear her. She's decent with her bow but she's currently out of practice. She has no problems ruining someone's reputation or life in ways that would make them wish she had just sent @Ishin and @Jensen after the them instead.
Why she is harmless: Not very good at killing others hand to hand.
If she ruled the world, you'd best expect: Life would likely be filled with music, Spinesreach would be the only city left and the Syssin would be rich and happy using the conquered peoples for target practice.
If you were to describe her one sentence: Struggling to find who she is, Faerah grasps on to what she knows (Spinesreach and the Syssin) for dear life. Finally finding her inner strength, Faerah works relentlessly to push the Syssin forward.
