Character created by: RC

Character name: Leanora Silvereye-Hunt (Uses her Silvereye name, most of the time.) A nickname is "Lea". But only if she likes you.

Character race: Human — Vordellan

Character appearance: Short, red hair, silver eyes, about seventeen. Looks like a carbon-copy of Elsa when she was younger. Has the skinny, malnourished look of a person living on the street. Extremely attractive.

Character personality: Has her parents' pride. She refuses to find work in Zor, preferring to steal for a living. She is constantly looking for her missing parents, but hasn't had any luck. Secretly very emotional and considers herself weak for not protecting her parents. Relies heavily on her younger brother.

Family: Mother Elsa, father Gerald, brother Fitz. Joseph and Ilise are her cousins, and Daren and Elaine, her uncle and aunt.

Influences: Has lived on the streets for ten years, since her parents went missing. As a result of six years of being a noble, she has the pride of a noblewoman coupled with the skills of a thief.

Strengths: Will put on a strong front, skilled at thieving, swordplay, can use her quick tongue to get out of any situation.

Weaknesses: Emotional, misses her parents more than she cares to admit, doesn't realise Joseph and Ilise are relatives, easily upset.

Character name: Joseph Lightshield (uses his Silvereye persona when he wants to go incognito)

Character race: Human — Vordellan

Character appearance: Over six feet tall, fiery red hair, a handsome and rather childish face, eighteen years old. His left eye is gold-coloured while his right eye is silver. Muscular.

Character personality: Quiet, thoughtful, careful. He likes to think everything through and has difficulty acting spontaneously. He tries to reign in Ilise's more unpredictable personality with little success. When the castle of Zor was taken, Joseph and Ilise fled onto the streets to escape from Set and Jezebel.

Influences: Learning from Gerald made him a supreme swordsman. He is a passable thief, since Elaine considers it a necessary key to survival. He and his sister have shared magic--a type of magic in Vordelle that only functions when the one you share the magic with is nearby.

Strengths: Confident, careful, doesn't think too much of himself, despite being a prince, prefers to give people the benefit of the doubt.

Weaknesses: Too trusting, too careful, easy to predict, tries too hard.

Likes: His family, protecting them and his country, seeing through another's way of life, sword fights.

Dislikes: Anything that disturbs his bubble of peace, fighting a losing battle, losing.

Magic: When he's with Ilise, 8. He learned from Morgan and uses a spellbook to curb his destructive power. Ilise has the healing side of his magic. When he's not with Ilise, 0.

Character appearance: Tall, muscular, black hair, barely-silver eyes. Roguishly handsome, unlike his father, he always is clean-shaven. Has the mark of the demons on his throat — the handprint. Fifteen years old.

Character personality: Rather arrogant, protective of Leanora, loud, likes a good time. He's proud of his skills as a swordsman, but conceals the fact that Set is trying to turn him into a demon. Will get loud and annoyed if someone tries to ask him about the print.

Character appearance: Average height, curly red hair, fifteen years old. Gracefully slim. Her left eye is silver while her right is gold.

Character personality: Quiet. Prone to insulting people if they annoy her.

Character name: Olivia Meer-Drenlin

Created by: RC

Character race: Human

Character appearance: Looks almost identical to River, except her eyes are a startling green and covered with spectacles. Freckles fleck her pale face, and she's only eleven years old. Short and unhealthily skinny.

Character personality: Mute like her mother. She likes to hide and spend her time in the background. Doesn't like trusting people and will try and run away if anyone approaches her. Rather like a hunted animal. Set has been searching for her because of her powerful magic.

Family: Her mother is River, her father, Jake Drenlin. The other Drenlins are her aunts and uncle.

Strengths: She can use shields like her father, can make her skin hard as diamond, and turn invisible, as well as all the magic her mother had. She's more in control than River used to be, but she doesn't like using it, as it attracts attention to her.

Created by: RC

Character race: Human.

Appearance: Dark haired, clear eyes, early twenties, scruffy, tall, broad-shouldered, has a brand of a hand on his neck that he hates talking about.

Personality: Can be rough with people he doesn't like and rather annoying. Quick with a joke or snarky remark. Doesn't like to lose. He has a peculiar sense of mercy and won't kill those he thinks deserve to live.

Family: Married to Elsa. He left his home country and his family behind.

Influences: A desire to be a knight at an early age left him with a strange sense of the knight's code. The forced murder of his mentor scarred him and hardened him.

Abilities: Extremely skilled fighter in all manners of weaponry.

Weaknesses: No tact, dislikes arrogance (except in himself), the exact opposite of a diplomat.

Character name: Elsa Silvereye (Hunt, though she doesn't use that surname)

Created by: RC

Character race: Human.

Character appearance: Twenty-one years-old, a little more than five feet tall, very skinny, long, curly red hair, silver eyes. Extremely attractive. Does little to accentuate that fact.

Character personality: Difficult to get alone with. She tends to brush other people off and doesn't like to talk about her past. She doesn't like being the center of attention or getting told she's doing something wrong. Pushes aside her own feelings for the sake of the people she cares about and can be annoyingly unemotional. Oddly enough, she's a pacifist--she won't take a life.

Family: Her parents were murdered by the former King of Vordelle. Elaine is her twin sister and Gerald is her husband.

Influences: She ran away from the castle (Zor) of Vordelle after her parents' executions. She and her sister lived on the streets alone and had to resort to thievery to survive.

Abilities: The best thief in all of Vordelle and possibly the world. Also skilled at swordplay, having been taught by her father at a young age.

Strengths: Reliable, true to her word, loyal to people she cares about, refuses to kill. Great if you want a thief.

Magic—0

Character name: Elaine Silvereye Lightshield

Created by: RC

Character race: Human

Character appearance: Same as Elsa, except she's a little rounder than her twin and about five feet tall. Less striking than Elsa.

Family: Parents are deceased. Twin sister Elsa, husband Daren, infant son Joseph.

Influences: The same as Elsa's. Now, as Queen of Vordelle, she struggles to prove that she can be a lady and that she's not just a thief.

Dislikes: Stealing, criminals, mentions of her parents, when Elsa refuses to get along with people, when things go wrong.

Magic--0.

Character name: Apollo Lightbringer

Created by: RC

Character race: Healer. Essentially human but with powerful healing and light magic.

Character appearance: Extremely tall and skinny, messy blond hair, pale skin and dark blue eyes. Early twenties (same age as Morgan). Always wears white robes and carries a white staff. Tan gloves.

Character personality: Deceivingly quiet and gentle among strangers. Actually has a strong sarcastic sense of humour and enjoys teasing Morgan. He is devoted to his life as a healer and will put his own life on the line for the sake of another. The Chosen One of the Lightshield, which grants him powerful light magic. He tries not to tap into it much, since doing so could lead to him accidentally "purifying" the darkness from Morgan--which would end up killing the mage.

Family: His parents were executed by the king. His aunt and two uncles all had dark magic in them, but none of that touched Apollo. Morgan is his cousin.

Influences: He's known for a long time that Morgan's parents killed his own parents, but he cares for his cousin and is the only one who can bring him out of darkness when he falls into it. The two share a close, brotherly relationship despite their differing natures.

Abilities: Very powerful light magic and a good healer.

Strengths: Devoted to his friends, good to have around when you need him, handy for getting rid of darkness.

Weaknesses: Set in his ways, can be stubborn, doesn't like to do the wrong thing even if it's for the right reason.

Likes: Tranquillity, when everything is neat (he's a neat-freak), going on adventures with Morgan.

Dislikes: Morgan's friendship with Andreas (he feels slighted), when things go wrong, sloppiness, arguing, darkness, crime.

Magic—7

Character race: Half human, half air spirit. Represents the human aspect of his blood.

Character appearance: Over six feet tall, black hair, sea-blue eyes, dashingly handsome, crooked, broken nose, early twenties, muscular.

Character personality: Bad temper. Extremely moody. When you get him in a good mood, consider yourself lucky--his bad moods are far more frequent, whether he's in a fog of sadness or furiously angry. The darkness inside of him and his tendency to turn into a dragon when he's mad make him frightening.

Family: His brother was killed two years ago. Married to Lorelei.

Abilities: Can transform completely or partly into a dragon about twenty feet in length and ten feet tall. Can grow wings and breathe fire, as well as harness the power of darkness. Slightly weaker dark magic on Earth. Uses two swords that his wife crafted with her magic--they have the appearance of small knives until he wills them into swords.

Character personality: Cold, argumentative, moody, yet emotional. Sometimes experiences with greater strength than normal people.

Family: Her parents are dead. She has no siblings. Is married to James.

Influences: Spent most of her life in a lake as a naiad, which makes it harder to process emotions. She either doesn't experience them at all or experiences them far too much.

Character name: Parsivaal Probyt

Character race: Human - Malvanian

Character appearance: Tall and thin, with pale skin and long white wavy hair which he never brushes, therefore it is a mess of matted tangles.  Prefers wearing a shabby patchwork robe and goes around barefoot most of the time. 

Character personality: Cheerful, friendly, helpful.  Wildly eccentric, sometimes not making much sense.  Cares little for appearances.  Can be very unconventional in his ways.

Family: Mother Ghenlys (deceased), has not seen his other Malvanian relatives for many decades.  Married to Lady Suriah Edeeshah Alana Menehari-Cesario (AKA Suri Probyt), youngest daughter of Anwyn and Andreas, which brings him into the vast extended Ohrivaal/Menehari/Cesario/Halloran family grouping.  Suri is several decades younger than him, but they are extremely well-suited since they have so much in common.  

Strengths: Master Sorcerer, specialising in illusions, personal alchemy, mathematics and sacred geometry.  Skilled at making and breaking codes, picking locks.  Good judge of character.  Still reasonably strong, despite his great age.  Can fight but prefers to find peaceful solutions.

Character created by: Xanxa

Character name: Caratacuus Helvellyan

Character race: Human - Malvanian

Character appearance: Tall, slim build, pale skin, pale grey eyes, long white hair.  He usually dresses in light grey robes which he makes himself.  Quietly spoken, with little variation in his tone of voice.  His facial expressions are subtle and hard to read.

Character personality: Calm and endlessly patient.  Very diplomatic, rarely displays any noticeable emotions.  Very caring and nurturing.  

Family: (I’ve yet to write his back-story, so I don’t know anything about his parents) He has one daughter, Ryaah Lemuel, and several grandchildren.  Married late in life to Abileen Fermanagh, who is younger than his daughter, via an arranged Carpathian marriage.

Magic: 7 (but rarely uses it, apart from translocating and merging minds)

Character name: David Smith

Created by: RC

Character race: Formerly human, but the magic of Colnia turned him into something in between.

Character appearance: Average height, burly, covered in scars, including one that blinded him in his right eye. His eyes are brown, but he no longer looks like a harmless teenager. In his thirties, he looks ragged and battle-weary. Still carries the Crown of Colnia with him, but with the disappearance of the other three pieces, he's significantly weakened.

Character personality: Dark, harsh, still harbours great love for his disappeared wife, friends, and daughter. He's incredibly loyal to his country and still maintains the light inside of him, despite his change in perspective.

Family: His wife and daughter were killed. The rest of his friends and leaders of Colnia as well.

Strengths: His anger makes him strong, won't give up on what he wants, master at magic and sword-fighting as well as with a bow.

Character name: Regina Smith

Created by: RC

Character race: Sorceress (not qualified as humans in Colnia)

Character appearance: A little less than average height, skinny, has a ton of chocolate-brown curls that cascade around her slim shoulders. She has her father's big brown eyes and red cheeks. Extremely pretty, has some childlike innocence to her. Fourteen years old.

Character personality: Tends to be blithe and cheery. She uses the façade to hide her grief over the executions of the Colnians. Set faked her death for David and concealed her in the castle, trying to drain her magic. However, she made her escape when he got distracted by the others. She tries to be optimistic no matter what and would never be cruel to anybody.

Family: David is her father. Her mother was a sorceress named Rosalie.

Strengths: She's kind, gentle, and caring. Positive outlook and her powerful light magic enable her to protect the people she loves.

Weaknesses: The darkness her father accepted to survive seeped into her system. Only her parents and Basil knew that when she turns seventeen, she will die unless she can eliminate the darkness. The darkness can make her magic far more powerful than she intended it to be.

Likes: Light, happiness, having fun, her friends and family.

Dislikes: Darkness, evil, remembering the deaths of the Colnians.

Magic: 9
