Character Breakdown

Elie · September 2014

THE ESSENTIALS
ELIE
Race: Horkval
Gender: Female
Guild/House: Sentaari
City: Duiran
Order: Omei

THE LOOK
Hair: None.
Eyes: None.
Height: Somewhere in the five-foot-two area.
Build: Lean, muscley.
Defining Features: Red skin, lack of nipples/fingernails/navel/etc. GIANT FREAKIN' BUG FOR A HEAD.
Clothing: She doesn't like clothing. Omei told her she didn't have to wear it, so she doesn't. Also, what shirt would fit over that bug-head, seriously.
Tattoos: The usual six.
Piercings: None.
Scars: I guess her empty eye sockets are sort of scarred. One of her head-wings has a big ol' hole in it.

PERSONALITY
Strengths: Unflappable, untroubled by strangeness or circumstance, willing to work and try regardless of obstacles. Loyal to a fault, committed deeply to whatever she's doing, and unquestioningly obedient.
Weaknesses: Unquestioningly obedient, loyal to a fault. Has very little idea what input is "healthy" or "kind" and so has a tendency to do what she's told even when the people giving orders are very bad people with bad intentions. A desperate need to not be alone that causes her to attach herself to people who mean her harm.
Morals: A very insectile devotion to her "hive" - that being defined as guild, order, city, family or present group. A simple belief that all hives work to defend themselves and increase their numbers, and it is not wrong for any hive to do so, whether or not she agrees with their ideas. A rather savage comfort with bloodshed and cruelty - nature is red in tooth and claw, and she is its consummate child. Killing any one single organism is never murder, in her eyes - only killing an entire organization could wipe out their culture or memories and therefore be worthy of censure.
Pet Peeves: Words. Words words words words. Names. Men, sometimes.
Best way to piss her off: Criticize her use of words. Insist on being called by your name - she probably doesn't remember it, and if she does, she thinks it's a stupid, tiny way of expressing everything you are. Touch her headbody unkindly - most of it is incredibly fragile, and if she's letting you touch it, it's like a human letting you grope their lungs and heart.
Best way to get on her good side: Be a telepath or mentalist of some description, and let her communicate with you mind-to-mind, letting her discard words. Be a "strong mind" in her eyes - a leader, a powerful person, a bright and irresistible personality. Play music. Give her jewelry of some kind, preferably something that jingles or clanks - lacking eyes, she likes things that make their own little music.

FAVORITES
Color: She doesn't see colors anymore, and even when she did, she didn't see them in a human way.
Profession: Sentaari
Profession Skill: Mindlock
General Skill: Jewelcrafting
Location: Blue and green trees in Omei's cradle.
God/Goddess: Omei.
Guild Master/House Head: @Kerryn‌
Tattoo: Uh, probably Owl, since she likes to abuse Telepathy so much.
Artifact: None.
Commodity: None.
Animal: Scorpion. Specifically, the one that seems to like her and follow her around.
Item owned: She's not big on "things." She doesn't really have any physical things that she couldn't happily do without, although there are a few things that she's required to keep by her. Of preference, she wouldn't have any objects to keep track of.
Village/forest/region: Tecpatl's Cradle.
NPC: None.
Memory: Falling asleep, blind and tired and home, in the arms of the man she loved.
Song: None. She loves music, but doesn't understand it well enough to grasp the idea of a "song."
Drink: Fruit things. Sweet wine, alcohol. Juice. Anything fruity.

MINDSET
Goals: To help Omei's cradle and order grow. To find some structure or basis for herself, some way to survive the fact that mortals inevitably leave her.
Ambitions: To grow, to learn. To be strong enough to stand on her own, perhaps.
Nemesis: @Pearle.
Rival: Was @Clovis, but she hasn't been about lately. None right now.
Best Friend: @Pearle.
Idol: @Emelle‌.
Best personal achievement: Being inducted to Omei's order and bonded to @Cannan at the same time.
Worst personal achievement: Losing @Cannan the next day.
Proudest moment: How is this different from "best personal achievement"?
Most shameful moment: Not sure, really. She doesn't terribly do "shame". Not sure she knows what it means, although from an objective perspective she certainly experiences it.
Secret dream: To be @Omei, basically. To her, all authorities are to be learned from, worshiped, and adored until one is strong enough to challenge them - and then, one lovingly takes up their mantle by eating them and embodying everything they are, along with their memories. So she wants to first challenge and then become Omei.
If she could make one wish..: She would know what kind of creature she is supposed to be.

SUMMARY
Why you should hate her: She's all up in your business, all the time, even if you think you've hidden it. She'll never apologize for taking everything you ever knew, and felt, and feared, and talking about it as if it were common knowledge.
Why you should love her: She adores you, more than likely. If your mind is strong - if you care about anything, if you feel love, if you have hope, if you want anything, she'll want to be near you,
Why you should fear her: She feels no restrictions, no shame, no modesty. She will cherry-pick every sad, helpless, broken, pathetic moment you ever had out of your head and tell the whole world about it, because to her, hiding those things is your weakness.
Why she is harmless: She'll obey if she even suspects that you might have some authority over her. Her emotions and doubts are easily summoned and easily damage her conviction. She can't PK worth a good god damn.
If she ruled the world, you'd best expect: A world-spanning, unified hive, every person with their place, ecstatic and exalted to be performing the function for which they were made. A perfect world - every soul exactly where it belongs, working together in flawless harmony.
If you were to describe her in one sentence: "I cannot be alone."

Rashar · September 2014

Character Name: Rashar Kynoura, the Thunderstorm

THE ESSENTIALS

Race: Idreth
Gender: Male
Guild/House: Carnifex
City: Spinesreach
Order: None

THE LOOK

Hair: Disheveled, dark gray / silvery and not quite shoulder length.
Eyes: Dark, shifting and shadowy. Like a pair of thunderheads, with a subtle red core. No real pupil or solid detail.
Height: Just under seven feet.
Build: Lithe. He likely looks a lot skinnier because of his height, but he's still a pretty big guy.

Tattoos: A hand print over his heart, deeply scarred and stained crimson.
Piercings: None
Scars: See tattoos.

PERSONALITY

Strengths: Fiercely loyal. Charismatic, maybe? Driven.
Weaknesses: Pride. Fiercely loyal. Way more stubborn than you are.
Attitude: Leave every place better than you found it. Be someone worth knowing, and make your mark.
Morals: Be loyal and honest, and if it deserves killing, kill it. He's really over the whole divide on life/Undeath and light/shadow. Trying hard to find something worth dedicating himself to that doesn't involve those things.
Pet Peeves: Deception, blind zealotry.
Best way to piss me off: The above, especially when it gets pushed on others.
Best way to get on my good side: Huh. It's not that hard. Have a spine, an opinion, and the courage to question.

FAVORITES

Color: Grey, black, blue.
Profession: Syssin. Luminary if he could. Miss that fire.
Profession Skill: Phase, because it lets him visit people in Enorian. Absolve, otherwise. Because, yeah. Absolution, baby.
General Skill: Farsight. He spends a great deal of time watching over people.
Location: The storm that rages in his Haven, if he's alone.
God/Goddess: None. Maghak might fit him better than anyone has, but he's so bitter about them all lately.
Guild Master/House Head: Moirean, except when she's being crazy. Then he wants to throw her in a closet until she calms.
Tattoo: Bell. Because eff you, spies.
Artifact: His bracers.
Commodity: Coal. Because fire.
Animal: Wolf
Item owned: He's not very materialistic.
Village/forest/region: Aerie holds his favorite home, I suppose. Not particularly attached to anywhere specific.
Memory: Mmm. Get out of his love life, creeps! Tons of awesome memories with Trager and Slyphe, though.
Drink: The whiskey is the life, right?

MINDSET

Goals: Find a place to belong, and people to look after.
Ambitions: Bridge the gap between 'good' and 'evil', or at least open eyes to the possibility of a middle ground, and of worrying about real threats instead of loose, foolish ideals.
Nemesis: That's hard. Maybe Phendegwen, but he really sort of considers him a worthless blowhard.
Rival: None that he knows or cares about.
Best Friend: Friends come and go, it seems, and are dependent on your city of residence!
Idol: None
Best personal achievement: The times he's been able to influence people into doing the right, if unpopular, things.
Worst personal achievement: I'm not even sure what that means.
Proudest moment: Marrying Roux, both times.
Most shameful moment: Knowing that his guild and city caused Roux to be forced out of Enorian, however wrong he thinks the decision was. Taking Vanguard when he was already close to quitting Enorian might be worth a mention, too.
Secret dream: To do enough work to get sponsored as a Knight without compromising his integrity or morals. To weaken the power base of what he considers the greatest threat in the world: Dhar.

SUMMARY
Why you should hate me: Because he can and will say the things that nobody else will, and has no problem pissing you off.
Why you should love me: Because if you treat him and the people he loves well, there is absolutely nothing he will not do for you. And probably even if you don't treat him well, as long as you treat the people he loves well.
Why you should fear me: Because he can kill more people than you think he can, and can be shadier than you think as well.
Why I am harmless: Because in most cases, he really doesn't care enough to bother with you.
If I ruled the world, you'd best expect: No zealots in politics. The One Rule to rule them all.
If you were to describe me in one sentence: There is always more than meets the eye.
But, I asked a few of you and these are the replies I got:
"A bombastic, clever scallywag."
"A pain in the ass, but lovable."
"Confident, easy to talk to, know's his way around words, and knows how to get what he wants if he's determined enough."
"He is a large man, broad of shoulder, sharp of wit, and gregarious of word."

Aishia · August 2015

Idk how long since I did one of these or if I'm going to be embarrassed looking back on it but BLUARUOGH.

THE ESSENTIALS
Aishia
Race: Harpy/Plant/Pointy-ears
Gender: Female
Guild/House: Shaman
City: Duiran
Order: HAERN!!!!

THE LOOK
Hair: WILD UNTAMED CURLS OF FIERY RED with feathers growing in under and tangling up in a worse mess.
Eyes: BIG SKY BLUE with a darkened stripe of skin from temple to temple a la shrike(I mean I feel like after years I can just explain this one IT HELPS TO SEE LONG DISTANCE BY REDUCING GLARE ITS A GREAT ADAPTATION FOR A BIRD TO HAVE.
Height: Like 5'5 1.6 meters choose your measure
Build: Plump, busty, also fat bottomed enough to contribute to the rotation of the rocking world. But pretty athletic for all that, more rubanesqe than roly poly. She could probably make it into a rap video without a resume.
Defining Features: HUGE VULTURE WINGS, CLAW-LIKE FINGERNAILS, POINTY TEETH, WEIRD HYBRID FEET. Boobs?! Sunburn! Pale skin with STRANGE GREEN PATCHES and also freckles EVERYWHERE the sun touches. There's some other weird stuff like prehensile feet and ROILING DEADLY STOMACH ACIDS that don't really come up much.
Clothing: Derilique? Well nah I usually give this a lot of thought and I def like to fall between TRIBAL and PERHAPS NICE ONCE but she ran thru a swamp full of brambles while gutting toads and now it's rags. Not so much the BRA AND CROTCH-STRAPS style that was popular for a while tho. Can only skimp so far when you got so much junk which must be properly strapped down in the trunk to prevent things from shifting. Simple dresses or shirts and skirts with lots of ATTIRE embellishing to make it clear she kinda a slob or OUTDOORSWOMAN. STOCKINGS with the feet tore out for some reason. BIG FLOPPY STRAW HAT which is a big point of marital contention(don't worry she won the hatwar ha ha ha)
Tattoos: Nooooo.
Piercings: Never!
Scars: Big ol Auresae pawprint that sealed her Auresaeheart into her chest cavity.

PERSONALITY
Strengths: GREAT POWER OVER NATURE! Strong lightnings! Hidden wisdom and insight and POWERFUL SEERHOOD.
Morals: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh I think 90% of this derives from having friends who she doesn't want to make mad. I mean she's not running around killing innocent farmers and stuff but that might as much be laziness and finding a lack of appeal or gain in it than MORALS. I guess actions speak more loudly than words though. She don't just run around doing senseless un RHYTHMY things.
Pet Peeves: Having to part with anything shiny or valuable. Digging! Perceived slights. People who hone in on her territory.
Best way to piss her off: That above stuff. Possibly insults and or goading or IMPERTINENCE.
Best way to get on her good side: Fruit and gifts and precociousness and humor.

FAVORITES
Color: RED no wait BLUE no no no GREEN, ORANGE, YELLOW, PURPLE, RAINBOW!? DID I SAY BROWN?
Profession: Shaman!
Profession Skill: OMEN?!
General Skill: Survival! Look at all those skills. So key. So precious. But Vision too for sure. Basically consolidated murdertools.
Location: Ahhhh Beneath an old oak!
God/Goddess: Wait didn't I answer this one already. Ah shout out to Niuri and Chakrasul for bein there when I was newbs.
Guild Master/House Head: Arbre/Darliea prolly some others. Hard to pin it down really.
Tattoo:TREE
Artifact: u know the belt this one a Celestine regenerative stalwart mage's dextrous invigorating hardy
enhancing briary belt of blood-red blossoms of intellect
Commodity: do fruits count as commodities now that they go in caches? 'cause fruits
Animal: I could switch this one to fish if I am allowed to eat raw fish but I am going to go with..... BEES her hive lives in her hair when it's not floating around in minipetland.
Village/forest/region: Aalen

NPC: There are NPCS and I love them all.
Memory: Ahhh this one is hard I'm just going to skip it but obviously the brain contains many memories.
Song: Aishia singing happens a lot but it's probably more something someone else would include in their PET PEEVES. Not that she does not have a BEAUTIFUL SCREECHING VOICE but the lyrics are usually questionably compiled at best.
Drink: OH man MILK and WATER and maybe only @Xenia will get this one but TEA

MINDSET
Goals: Kill all hu.. oh no wait uh. Finish up on mysterious plans and continue to be mysterious. Build great futures and sporulation absolutely all of everything. Fill nest with endless amounts of treasure and mainly just things like bits of ribbon and broken objects. Actually finish building a home with YOU KNOW WHO. Besides just that one or two rooms we designed and then just were too lazy or scatter brained or noncommittal to finish more of. (90% of the blame for this is probably on me)
Ambitions: Reaping many huntful hunts and wild wilderness spreading in untamed and outrageous ways.
Nemesis: @ORISAE
Rival: @Valingar!?
Best Friend: @Valingar ahh man I was going to try to think up a FRIEND friend but Valingar deserves 2 b e here
Idol: I mean in a general way if I had to just pick someone to be around who I think would improve my gameplay or the GAME I guess I'd have to pick like @Sibatti or @Kiyotan or something. Who doesn't fangirl Siba tho.
Best personal achievement: Ah there's lots of little moments you can say like "AH I GOT MARRIED" or "I TOOK THE VAMPIRE CURE." "I FOUNDED A NEW GUILD" "I BECAME GM" I guess some of those fit.
Worst personal achievement: I guess shamefullness counts tho that's less of an accomplishment.
Most shameful moment: Ah man this reaches back into LORE more than anything but it's definitely CHOOSING UNDEATH. Much shame per volume.
Secret dream: To get heavy preggers. I ALMOST FEEL LIKE THIS IS TOO PERSONAL BUT I PUT IT HERE ANYWAYS
If she could make one wish..: idk last time she got offered any kind of wish she wished for a bucket and the time before that it was for fruit so this isn't a good question for her.

SUMMARY
Why you should hate her: Kind of obnoxious sometimes! Very harpy-y with the insults and such if you tune into that part of her personality and she's not feeling particularly GALVANIZED INTO SERIOUSNESS. Annoyingly cryptic and vague.
Why you should love her: She's so BEAUTIFUL and radiant and monstrous it's probably safer to love her than not.
Why you should fear her: Well she is at least MODERATELY erratic and dangerous with strong predatory instincts and likely to trick you into some sort of DEADLY SITUATION or trap or just do something on a whim without warning that might involve 10000 volts or ravening swarms of etc.
Why she is harmless: Just as often as rabid predator she's kind of cutsey and innocent which is PRETTY DUMB but it just comes out ok shut up.
If she ruled the world, you'd best expect: Vast tithes of fruit and treasure gathered in some sort of messy nest-fortress and more or less total freedom for anyone who does not ANGER HER.
If you were to describe her in one sentence: Manic pixie dream monster?

Aishia · August 2015

Looking back more of it is actually consistent with my earlier one than I would have even guessed. +1 for consistency I guess.

Eydis · September 2015

THE ESSENTIALS:

Eyes: Switches between normal pale blue, and jade eyes beset with onyx pupils.
Height: Average for a human woman.
Build: Switches between athletic with an apple-shaped figure and athletic, angular.

Tattoos: Just functional ones.

Scars: None.

PERSONALITY:
Strengths: Passionate, disciplined, creative, and caring to those in her circle. She is a decent communicator who is unafraid to enforce her will when needed.
Weaknesses: Headstrong, somewhat elitist, and can be too detail orientated when stressed. She can still be naive here and there.
Attitude: "Another lovely day!"
Morals: Guild first. Defend Spinesreach. Speculating on the morality of her methods is, to her, useless and counterproductive.
Pet Peeves: People who are unwilling to see logic through their own sense of self-entitlement. People who follow belief systems without questioning or testing them.
Best way to piss her off: Violate the guild or the will of the Republic, disrespect her/her family, have a terrible work ethic.

General Skill: Tailoring and Cooking.

Food: Savory foods and sweets.

MINDSET:
Goals: Help the Syssin regulate day-to-day operations and become an active part in helping the Syssin maintain their reach for greatness. Build notability in Spinesreach for herself, her guild, and her family. Eventually she'll run for the Senate.
Personal ambitions: Get vested, finish building the Ilstrem family clan, open-up the Ilstrem General Store in Spinesreach, and add to the Cardinalis prestige after her adoption.

Why you should fear me: She's ambitious, best not to get in her way.
Why I am harmless: If you're on her team and do not get in the way of the ambitions of the Syssin, she can be supportive and very loving.
If I ruled the world, you'd best expect: Wait - they figured out she's ruling it? Hmmmm.
If you were to describe me in one sentence: [ Insert something creative here ]

BONUS:
Sort your character into Harry Potter houses that best fit the values of each house: 1.) Slytherin 2.) Ravenclaw 3.) Hufflepuff 4.) Gryffindor.

Melantha · September 2015

So, already spilled a bunch of beans about Mel in her Affirmation thread, but I enjoyed filling this out. Takes me back to my days of forum roleplaying. Here you all go. Those best served by it are those unlikely to bump into her, but you should totally try bumping into her anyway. Just saying.

THE ESSENTIALS:
Race: Yeleni (Atavian)
Guild/House: None (still considers herself Daru)
City: Enorian
Order: Ethne

THE LOOK:
Hair: Straight, waist length black hair.
Eyes: Emerald green. Her pupils have a low grade orange-yellow glow.
Height: 5'5 (and a half)
Build: Petite, fit.
Defining Features: Her skin is covered with the pattern of embers, which do glow and are influenced by her mood.
Clothing: Red gi and black Tekura belt, kimono on occasion, dark red Godgift gloves, trinket of living flame.
Tattoos: Aside from the functional tattoos (she has arti moss and tree on torso and right arm, respectively), she has a red dragon squiggle drawn on by @Nola that she decided to make permanent when she ascended.
Piercings: None.
Scars: Faint, well healed hand-shaped burn scar on her left outer bicep. Way back in the day, @Lexen left a handprint on her throat after leaving House Ve'kahi. Long gone, since you're only as scarred as you want to be.

PERSONALITY:
Strengths: Highly disciplined, unshakable conviction, knows the wisdom of choosing her words carefully and well. Fiercely devoted to family and friends. Loves wholeheartedly.
Weaknesses: Sometimes a bit too quick to believe the best of someone. Extremely unwilling to compromise. Almost entirely oblivious to romantic advances. (If you get through that, you either amuse her or make her want to scrub herself.)
Attitude: Generally slow to speak and soft-spoken when she does. Much more tempered now than in her youth, but still prone to passionate outbursts. Not shy at all about showing affection, often exuberantly. Her sense of humour is dry and mischievous. Her personal mantra is 'Grace and graciousness'.
Morals: Self-discipline, self-restraint, discernment.
Pet Peeves: Being condescended to, catching someone in a lie, Dark arts.
Best way to piss her off: Actually fairly difficult, but don't diss the Daru where she can hear you, and don't embarrass the cause of the Light. In general, you know you screwed up when her volume drops and she starts enunciating.
Best way to get on her good side: Be earnest and willing to learn. Do not lie to her.

FAVORITES:
Colour: Red
Profession: Zealot
Profession Skill: Tykorima kata
General Skill: Clarity
Location: Her Haven garden
God/Goddess: Auresae
Guild Master/House Head (all time): Nola
Tattoo: Firefly
Artifact (don't have to own): A length of emberite prayer beads
Commodity: Glass
Animal: Dragon
Item owned: Her gloves. No longer has special interaction messages, but she cherishes them regardless.
Village/forest/region: Arurer Haven
NPC: Draryn
Memory: Becoming Nola's sister.
Song: Surprisingly enough, she doesn't really know any songs. She does enjoy humming, however.
Drink: Green tea blends.
Food: No particular favorites, but she does have a bit of a sweet tooth.

MINDSET:
Goals: The supremacy of the Light. That cannot be overstated. Specifically, that it is an absolute and objectively defined Good that will destroy Darkness and all it embodies. Every aspect of her life is governed by that belief and working to see it come to pass. How likely she is to see it come to pass is of no consequence to her.
Personal ambitions: Bring as many to the Light as possible.
Nemesis: None really officially. Closest would probably be @Aren.
Rival: Again, none really.
Best Friend: Nola
Idol: Nola
Best personal achievement: Being appointed as co-Order Head by Auresae.
Worst personal achievement: Defending Auresae's original decision to take away @Trager and @Aryanne's child.
Proudest moments: Staying Auresae's hand in relation to the above. Being granted Yeleni from Auresae's Essence. Being appointed as the Head of a guild advancement path. This was how she got her dragon squiggle.
Most shameful moment: Always seeming to be asleep when she is needed most. (Curse you, real life!)
Secret dream: Going to keep it under my hat for now.

SUMMARY:
Why you should hate her: She will pounce on any opportunity to debate beliefs. She will call you out on any... hm, unwise courses of action.
Why you should love her: You can count on her to help keep you straight. She does what she can to bring out the best in everyone around her. She is free with counsel and with rendering aid to those that ask her, provided that the latter does not conflict with her beliefs and morals. She loves teaching and will go out of her way to make sure she is understood.
Why you should fear her: If you should choose to put herself under her instruction, you will find her to be a demanding taskmistress. She is patient and expects no less of her students than what she expects of herself, but you should be absolutely sure before undertaking her regimen.
Why she is harmless: She places high value in group support, forging relationships into her self-image. Take that away, and you pull the rug out from under her. She'll stand up again, of course, but that's the easiest way to throw her off. Needless to say, she goes to great lengths not to be made harmless.
If she ruled the world, you'd best expect: No Undeath, and the means to attain it made useless.
If you were to describe her in one sentence: Driven, passionate and kind, but quite strict.

Character Name: Dzekk

THE ESSENTIALS

Race: Azudim
Gender: Male
Guild/House: Templar
City: Enorian
Order: Damariel

THE LOOK

Hair: Long, messy, and white, usually tied back or pulled out of his face any way he can.
Eyes: Stark white, devoid of anything else.
Height: Relatively tall, just under seven feet.
Build: Muscular, but not overwhelmingly so. He's actually pretty lithe.
Defining Features: A multitude of scars all over his body, vambrace-like plates lining his arms, and manacles fused to his wrists.
Clothing: When not in the Templar uniform, he still wears comfortable, form-fitting clothing that he could easily slide armor over.
Tattoos: None.
Piercings: None.
Scars: Horizontally across the bridge of his nose. A plethora along his torso and legs. The scars on his arms now covered up by his vambraces.

PERSONALITY

Strengths: He is extremely protective of those he cares about, and once he's got his mind set on accomplishing something, he sees it done, regardless of whether or not he succeeds.
Weaknesses: He spends a lot of time looking out for and reassuring others that he tends to neglect his own happiness. He's also really loves fighting, and that may eventually get him in trouble.
Attitude: He's an extremely kind man to anyone that has not wronged him or gone against his ideals. He has a very mild temper, and as stated above, occasionally succumbs to his own unhappiness as a result of constantly helping everyone else out.
Morals: Being both a Templar and a member of Damariel's Order, his morals are pretty obvious: protect those who need protecting, consort not with the darkness, live in faith and humility, and never turn anybody in need away.
Pet Peeves: He's actually very easily annoyed, but he doesn't let it show. Some pet peeves include constantly asking for something you could get yourself, being noisy, and condescending remarks towards pretty much anyone.
Best way to piss me off: Attacking his friends and family.

Goals: Revitalize the Order of the Sword in the Templar, ~~gain approval from Damariel~~, and aid anyone he can in finding their own path in the light.
Amibitions: He aims to continue to grow stronger in order to protect those he holds dear, and in doing so hopes to possess the strength necessary to purify the Undead.

Best Friend: Right now, probably Apianora.
Idol: Rasani
Best personal achievement: Being accepted into Damariel's Order and earning his manacles.

Name: Lin.
Race: Azudim of Human descent.
Gender: Female.
Guild/House: Shamans.
City: Duiran.
Order: Haern.

THE LOOK

Hair: Black. Very long. A complete and utter nightmare of tangles. A big ol' lion's mane.
Eyes: Pale gold.
Height: Eight foot something. Pretty tall.
Build: Toned, well-built muscle. Like Zarya from Overwatch but not quite as beefy. also she thicc
Defining Features: Big ram's horns covered in spiky iron. Long elfin ears that can bend like a dog's. Claws and sharp teeth. Like half of her is covered in misshapen bone. A tail. She's definitely an eye-catcher.

Tattoos: A half-moon symbol burnt into her forehead.
Piercings: Tons in her ears. Pretty much all over the place. Yep, even there.

PERSONALITY

Strengths: Endlessly and determinedly self-reliant, yet will begrudgingly ask for help if she needs it. Can learn very, very quickly. Brave to the point of recklessness.
Weaknesses: This always was a long entry for Lin. Helpless to her instincts, leading her to turn on familiar people for unpredictable reasons. Speaks poor Aetolian. Simple-minded; will almost always lose track if you talk too long or abstract your thoughts too much. Brave to the point of recklessness - and yet can be a craven coward with just the right sort of threat.
Attitude: Lin is helpless to control the animal part of her brain. On some days, she is a taciturn but expressive woman, fierce, loyal, even playful in a predatory way. On other days she is not much more than a beast wearing an Azudim's body, behaving like a hunting animal.
Morals: None.
Pet Peeves: See: Best way to piss her off.

God/Goddess: She doesn't remember any of them at all, but greatly respects Haern.
Guild Master/House Head (all time): No one, but Aisling owns her favorite house, so maybe she counts as a house head?
Village/forest/region: The Seer's Wood. Unless Dendara counts, then Dendara. Does that count?
Memories: So many. Breathing air for the first time in decades while waiting for Pilar at the riverbank. Having her face patched up by Aisling. Sitting in the bottom of Eleanor's pool and just staring up through the water's surface. Hearing Aisling speak Jaziri for the first time. Slashing Delyth's face open.
