THE ESSENTIALS
Race: Yeleni, previously Tsol’aa
Gender: Male
Guild/House: Sentinels
City: Duiran
Order: Haern
THE LOOK
Hair: Dark red
Eyes: Crimson
Height: Somewhere over six foot
Build: Willowy, athletic
Defining Features: Short horns, sharp shark-like teeth, bestial ears
Clothing: White, black, red and silver colors; tends to wear armor constantly. Braids flowers into his hair.
Tattoos: N/A
Piercings: Earlobes
Scars: One scar dividing the right eyebrow and passing just outside his eye, three scars on the side of his neck from that one time he wandered into a badger den as a kid.
PERSONALITY
Strengths: Loyal and forgiving; patient and takes things in stride.
Weaknesses: Scared of both commitment and responsibility, perhaps for the same reason. Holds himself to higher, more unreasonable standards than others.
Attitude: Ultimately good-natured, but often flippant to the point of irreverence.
Morals: Mercy and compassion are important. Some crimes, however, are beyond redemption; and sometimes sickness must be rooted out.
Pet Peeves: Lying to him, poorly.
Best way to piss him off: Betrayal of his trust, implicit or otherwise.
Best way to get on his good side: Just be reasonably friendly. Not being Undead is a major plus.
FAVORITES
Color: Silver
Location(s): Lady Lleis’s Temple
God/Goddess: Haern
Guild Master/House Head (all time): Good question.
Artifact (don't have to own): spirit_anchor
Commodity: Iron
Animal: Sarthoks and badgers, but just about every other animal in close second.
Item owned: He’s proud of his armor, for the moment.
Village/forest/region: The Seer’s Wood is many very nice shades of color.
Memory: That time a finch settled into his hair and ate a blueberry.
Song: The Rhythm.
Flower: Silvery bluets or cherry/plum blossoms.
Drink: Pink raspberry lemonade (RIP Haern’s private stock).
MINDSET
Goals: Be a contributing member of society without doing so enough that others come to rely on it. Also, become good at fighting.
Ambitions: To live a relatively quiet life of doing whatever he wants, and doing it well.
Nemesis/Rival: No one, really.
Best Friends: Honestly? Probably his minipets. They’re good animals.
Idol: What he’s heard of Lady Lleis.
Best Personal Achievement: There’s nothing he’s satisfied with enough to call it an achievement.
Worst Personal Achievement: Becoming an Elder in the Sentinels. It was literally just an error with squishing down the number of ranks while he was hibernating, so it’s not really an achievement.
Proudest Moment: Probably the time where he got a finch sitting on his head to eat a blueberry, or when Haern brought him into the Order.
Most Shameful Moment: More of a constant thing than a moment, but his continued ignorance towards many aspects of Tsol’aa culture despite an effort to learn more about it.
Secret Dream: Dismantle the Dreikathi military, find out if any who ordered the bombardment of the Aalen are still alive, and if so, execute them.
If He Could Make One Wish: Just take the Undead and put them somewhere else. A world where their existence isn’t a blight on nature, preferably. This would solve many problems.

PERSONALITY
Strengths: Intelligent, nearly-genius-levels of intellect. Confident. Determined. Radically honest. An idea-generator. Mischievous.
Weaknesses: A weak combatant, so can’t always back up their boasting, a TERRIBLE politician. A bad leader. Ideas may be impractical/unpopular. Occasionally up their own butt. A bit smug. Sometimes mischief gets them into severe trouble.
Attitude: Before leaving the Dominion was the prototypical smug vampire who thinks they’re an expert puppet master and superior to others. After deciding to leave has become much more grounded, but still has a vicious streak and her own self-seriousness can conflict with his new impulse to have fun.
Morals: Everything is a hierarchy, but must be defended through action and merit. It’s a quantitative outlook, not a qualitative. And even then the hierarchy isn’t linear so much as circular to them.
Pet Peeves: People assuming that their culture is universal.
Best way to piss them off: [REDACTED]

Character Name: Lin dur Naya / Lin al-Akir
THE ESSENTIALS
Race: Idreth (Human, of El'jaziran descent).Gender: Identifies as female; body varies. She believes physical sex is an insipid concept for an Idreth, but isn't skilled enough to form her body accordingly.
Guild/House: Sentaari.
City: Duiran Council.
Order: Chakrasul.
THE LOOK
Hair: Long, grand, and black. Shaved sides. Gathered into braids, massed most thickly atop her head, the rest hanging from the base of her skull.Eyes: The right eye is pale gold. The left is completely glossy and black, like a jewel.
Height: Roughly 6' 6" (~200 cm). I just go with "pretty tall."
Build: Muscular, chiseled. Thick as hell. Absolutely impossible fantasy Amazonian physique.
Defining Features: Ram's horns encased in twisted, jagged mythril. The eyes. The tail.
Clothing: Dresses a bit like Berserk's Guts from the early Black Swordsman arc. Black hunting leathers, sturdy boots. A big-ass green cloak she got from Baelak Shipbreaker. A really big darkbow. And the mask.
Tattoos: Not really a tattoo, but a circular mark burnt into her forehead. It occasionally produces smoke in the presence of Gods, during certain circumstances.
Piercings: Pretty much everywhere, and they change frequently. Yes, even there.
Scars: All over the place - too many to really count or remark upon.
PERSONALITY
Strengths: Doggedly tenacious. Cuts through Gordian Knots of bullshit and proves capable of seeing past deceptions. Definitely not squeamish. Very, very physically strong.Weaknesses: As one of Lin's central themes is coping with weaknesses, traumas, and flaws, it's a list too long to write here. The ones that stand out most are an incredible susceptibility to escapism, or appeals to comfort/familiarity; a bizarre relationship with fear that manifests unpredictably.
Attitude: Irredeemably bitter. Forbidding. Unfriendly. Completely unable to mask her contempt. Yet you can worm your way in there and see the softie inside. She really likes stories.
Morals: Pretty restricted - they can be boiled down to simple things like "slavery is bad" and "don't do genocide."
Pet Peeves: Being touched without permission. Being spoken to like a child. Young people giving her unsolicited life lessons about things she has been through again and again. Cutesy, cheery people.
Best way to piss her off: Talk to her for more than five minutes.
Best way to get on her good side: Offer her food; cajole her with a story; be dead sexy.
