This made Althalos very lonely as a boy, with only his teachers to keep him company. When he reached the age of 17, his father went off to battle the Kubalians in a battle over an important trade route, the battle was lost and his father died in battle. This resulted in the crowning of Althalos, making him the new Emperor of Arzla. He later arranged his marriage to the current Empress of Arzla, theirs was a cold and duty bound relationship but later they grew warm to one another, and eventually fell in love.

| Name:King Elendele Age:45 Class of Society:Nobility Occupation: King of Eqomer Your side: Allied with Arzla, currently Strengths: (Limit of 3) Excellent Tactician: He is excellent at military tactics. Inspirational: He can inspire his men to perform to their best, even when faced with overwehelming odds Warrior of the horse and foot: Elendele is comfortable anywhere in battle, be it on foot, or on horseback Weaknesses: (Must have 1)Pride: Pride often is a motivation for many things for rulers, and the king of Eqomer is no better. If he feels that the pride of himself or his nation has been injured, he will not hesitate to consider war to regain his country's lost honor. Personality: Quick tempered, but also quick to cool, Elendele is a wise king, and inspirational to his troops. He is kind towards his friends, less so towards his allies, and brutal towards his enemies. He is regarded by many as a master of warfare, because of how he uses his mainly mounted army. Bio: King Elendele was born to his family from a long line of kings and queens. As a boy, he was taught rigorously how to fight, and ride a horse, and shoot a boy, but once he became a man in his country's light, he also began to show an aptitude for commanding troops on the field of battle, prompting him to be given his first command under his father. In his first battle, he followed his father into a charge, his father leading it, and watched as his father was cut down. When he returned to his homeland, he was greeted with the death of his mother as well, who had died of heartache. And so on his return he was crowned king. after a decade of ruling his country, various small territories around his own began being claimed by Arzla. Emperor Benedict called for the surrender of his lands, and when Elendele refused, marched upon them. After surrounding the capitol city of Eqomer, Benedict apparently saw that the battle would be bloody for both sides, and so called not for the surrender of Elendele's lands, but for a tax of gold, a few trade agreements, and a force of cavalry to be sent to the army of Arzla. Elendele, now a wise king, agreed with the terms, on the condition that the Emperor not meddle in the affairs of Eqomer. AFter five years, and a few visits to Arzla, Elendele himself took a bride from one of Arzla's noble families. It was a marriage born of love, not duty, and after two more years, the marriage was rewarded with a son, and sole heir to Elendele's throne. The woman he married became his queen, and more often then not also cooled his quick anger. His advisor came to him in the thirtieth year in his life, and has given him excellent counsel on many things. Elendele eventually became a friend to the Emperor of Arzla, and began to become more and more interested in helping the Emperor succeed in his conquest. Elendele's advisor came up with excellent plans for improving the kingdom, giving him the best way to introduce a light yet effective tax that would raise an excellent ammount of money that was put towards projects like improving the army, and bettering the country as a whole. Now, he is in the fourty fifth year of his life, with a son, and a loving wife to back him. He rules to the best of his ability, but now generally tries to avoid the war between Arzul and Kubal.

| Name: Rowen Alridian Age: 20 Class of Society: Army Occupation: Captain of the Royal Guard Your side: Arlza Strengths: Master of the Sword: Rowen is a master of the sword, and uses this to defend the Royal family at all costs. Being the personal body guard of the Emperor, she has honed her skills in many battles. Quiet Observations: Rowen has an uncanny skill of being aware of almost any action in a room, because of the fact that she must be able to do so in order to effectively protect the Emperor. Without Hesitation: Rowen will not hesitate to do anything to keep the Emperor and his family safe, even if it means sacrificing herself for them. Weaknesses: (Must have 1) Weaker then many: Rowen, while she is a royal guard and a master swordsman, is not proficient at unarmed combat, and is frail when it comes to taking hits, so she will ultimately have a more difficult time fighting if she is disarmed. Personality: Calm, and observent, Rowen let's nothing that involves the royal family slip past her. She keeps her nose out of the politics that embroils the Emperor's court. She will never let anything happen to the Emperor, or his family. Though she chooses not to wear the armor of the royal guard, instead opting for a simple dress that makes her stand out less in the Emperor's court, even though she wears a sword at her hip. Bio: Rowen was orphaned at a young age, and brought to the castle of the royal family to be a servant as a result. She was brought up to believe that the Emperor and his family were ones she should always listen to, and even be prepared to die for them should it be necessary. Eventually, Rowen's uncanny knack for using a sword was discovered, and she was secretly and rigorously trained to become the captain of the Emperors royal guard. Once she was trained, she began her service to the Royal family, and has continued it ever since. picture:[spoiler]  |
| Name: Lirael Age: 16 Class of Society: Nobility Occupation: Princess of Arzla Your side: Arlza Strengths: -Agile and quick since she can not beat a man in brute strength -Has a brilliant tactical mind alike her fathers yet is rarely taken seriously because she is a girl and not a man. -Was educated in the arts of courting and politics yet is not yet a master like her father since she lacks experience, lots of experience. Weaknesses: -Suffers from Haemophilia. This was found out during a row when she was eight and can not remember the catalyst nor the reason for said row. When he struck her and her lip did not stop bleeding for hours t come, her parents had to summon a wise-woman to help her since too much blood as a sacrifice to their God would anger him, surely resulting in her soul leaving their realm to join their god. This was kept as a secret that only the Empress and the Emperor knew, not even the royal guard nor the spiders knew of her weakness and she never gave offerings in the rituals which causes rumours to ignite and bleed out into the court and her fathers people. Because of that weakness she was forbidden to carry on playing with the sons of the knights and had to stop her archery, being confined to staying inside the castle building and not being near any hazardous objects that could bruise or cut her. Her father did not dare strike her again. That had been the first and the last. Personality: Find out as role play progresses. Bio: Since she was little she had played with both the young girls and boys of the palace. The games she enjoyed the most was tag and hide and seek that all the children had played together, yet she had also enjoyed sewing, dancing, and music albeit not as much as messing around in the mud. She has also been mistaken for a boy several times as she grew up and the rumors are that the Emperor and Empress have a twin son who they do not openly announce his existence. Yet the truth behind this is the princess herself. Nobody knows this yet from her neutral body somatotype she can easily be mistaken fro a girl or a boy depending on her choice of clothes and like any slightly intelligent human being she exploits her lack of visible curves to the utmost by dressing up as a man and experiencing a life she would never be able to have in court. Her father is the only person aware of his daughters rare quirk and that had been the reason he had struck her eight years ago when he caught her himself. Once his temper had subsided he realised that it was harmless and also felt guilty for hitting his only daughter so hard it had split her lip and nearly killed her, so he agreed to leave it how it was before he came to know of it. A secret. After all, he had reasoned that it may even come in handy in a near future in the rare case there was a coup d'État and he would know that she would easily be able to get out of the castle without her gender and status giving her away. As for her childhood it was a normal one for a child of nobility, if not better than the average nobility since she had two loving parents that doted on her every need. However she was slightly depressed some time after she had recovered from her near-death experience because she been strictly forbidden from realising any physically demanding activities like sword play or hide and seek since she enjoyed it greatly, yet the depression did not last long. During her escapades to the city as a boy she had learned the street swordplay and hide and seek. It was nothing like the strict swordplay of the knights who used big swords. No, Street Swordplay was quick, agile and lethal. As for the hide and seek, which taught her to move quietly and quickly which only enhanced her skills in the new style of swordplay she had taken up. Both activities fit her somatotype perfectly. She was also always careful to avoid all blows that would land directly on her skin that could cause bruising or break the outer layer of her skin which developed her reflects and grace even more. Picture: The only obvious physical trait that Lirael shares with her parents is her mother eyes, and there used to be rumours about Lirael not being her fathers true heir.... |

| Name: Auriela Giselle Age: 26 Class of Society: Nobility Occupation: Hand of the King of Arlza Your side: Arlza Strengths: - She has a brilliant mind for strategy and tactics, one reason why she is Hand of the King - Sword skills, her sword skills match the skills of a royal guard due to her upbringing (more info in Bio) - Charm, Auriela has been known to use her charm to win over parts of the nobility, no actions taken but still she knows how to manipulate the folly of men. Weaknesses: - Auriela's weakness is her stomach, get her a good meal and she will be like putty in your hands, thank god only a few people know of this weakness but if it were to be exploited? who knows what could happen. Personality:Auriela comes off as a cold bitch that only wishes to get what she wants, and the most of that is true, but in some cases she can be caring and considerate but thats not alot. Bio: Aurelia was brought up along with her brother and younger sister in the nearby regions of inner Arlza, her nobility was always questioned when she never acted like her brother or her sister, never dressing to the occasion and never acting very noble in some situations, most when she was asked to date another noble for the family name but she always refused, if she was gonna marry it would be someone she approved of. In learning his daughter wouldnt be the princess type daughter he wished, her father made her learn how to act with a sword, how fight and went not to fight, in time she grew to be a strong strategist and tactician which eventually led her to be Hand of the King and even the Kings friend at times. Picture: |
| Name: Aria Benedict Age: 36 Class of Society: Nobility Occupation: Empress of Arzla Your side: Arlza Strengths: - She’s agile and nimble when it comes any sort of fight - When it comes down to facts or studies she tends to know quite a bit and is quick witted being able to come up with ideas on the spot. - She's handy with a sword thanks to training with her older brothers Weaknesses: Her weakness is being too careless and following her emotions. She does what she feels she has to do no matter the consequences which get her into troublesome situations Personality: Aria is adventurous and compassionate. She observes and studies making her quick witted in many situations that her adventurous side gets her into. She also takes in many different point of views seeing things in a more optimistic way to keep an open mind to ideas. Bio: Being born into nobility as the fourth child in a family Aria was never expect to do or accomplish much. While her older siblings went on and about their duties she often sneak out of the palace to see what life was outside the palace. Playing and exploring with other kids sparked her adventurous side. As she grew older the only ones who knew where she disappeared to was a handful of guards and her two older brothers. Worried about her safety and the possibilities of war breaking out they trained her to fight in case of anything would happen when she snuck out. War ended up breaking out in her kingdom after a part of the treaty had been broken. During this war her family had lost her older sister and one of her older brothers making her the second in line for the throne. In order to secure and bring their kingdom back up her father had arranged her marriage to secure her a place somewhere else as her brother came into the throne. Her marriage being arranged, wasn’t the best time of her life. She didn’t want to rule or lead at the time nor did she want to give up her freedom of roaming outside palace walls. She eventually did settle down a bit and worked on her studies after moving into Arzla. After spending some time there she began to warm up to the place as her new home even though she didn’t know too many people at first. But of course she still couldn’t stand staying in the palace all the time and hated escorts, so every once in a while she would put on her hooded cloak and sneak out for a walk through the city. While she was out she would always act as a normal person rather than a noble and kept her face hidden so the people would treat her like anyone else. Picture: |
| Name: Sultan Hasan Kashime Kabul Age: 38 Class of Society: Merchant (Noble) Occupation: Sultan Your side: Kabul Strengths: (Limit of 3) Expert Combatant: he often fights at the front, or as close as the Sultansworn will allow, skilled in the use of sword, bow, and lance. A terrible sight to behold on the battlefield. Economics: Understanding the importance of gold, he's not all brawns but some brains...at least with economic and Material matters. Albe to balance finances and to bolster trade. Will of Iron: The Sultan will for better or worse stick to what he thinks is best, only listening to a select few. Given this, manipulation or trickery for the most do not work on him. Weaknesses: (Must have 1) Will of Iron, because of the above, he can get himself into situations where a wiser man would run. Nala Kashime: While he has a harem, she seems to be one of the few things he has a weakness for, be it her badgering and in a manner clingliness, or the fact his heir was born from her, in addition to two daughters, and a final son, given the position she also serves in it makes her as if by design his favorite. (This is a bio that will be shown soon) Personality: Strong, arrogant, proud, yet strangly wise..at least with manners of finance, though he has a harem the Sultan rarely finds time to spend with most of them, fathering few children on those. A fact he doesn't seem to have actively made happen himself. He is a very stubborn man, but he at least isn't totally dense and knows better than to cross Nala..though that seems to be more as he enjoys her the most, and tires of her nagging rather than fear of her. Tends to not involve himself in religous matters much. Has a fondness for his children, while still demanding and at times harsh to them..but that is likely just a part of his personality. Bio:Hasan was the thrid child of his own father, born to into the same situation as his own considerable number of half siblings. Rising up through the ranks of the military, his eldest brother died under questionable circumstances while the 2nd died from suicide after going bankrupt shaming the family. His father Omar would pass on this time at the age of 57, leaving the throne to Hasan at the age of 19. And he did what any good Sultan would do..he went to war expanding his borders, his empire would not be just the north..but the south and other regions as well.. Upon his first conquest, among the enemy troops was a girl soldier, one of the very few that refused to surrender, seeing the fight and spirit in her Hasan bid that any man that took her he would kill. Fighting the girl to a dual, he was impressed by her tactical skill and power, taking her as a slave by right of conquest, the Sultan later that night freed the girl taking him to his bed and showering her with gifts. While only 15 at the time the girl known as Nala would carry for him his first born son...this would become a tradition of the pair seemingly even as she became his general, no sooner than he had taken a new area, she would bare him yet another child. So far they had there eldest at 17, a daughter of 15, 8, and a son of 3. This would also make her a bit more dominating and demanding as the years went on, making her effectively head consort. In all with his other wives he has only fatherd three children mostly druing the years inbetween the births with her. For the last three years the Sultan has eyed the lands of the east, but has oddly kept a largely peaceful stance short of raids into the free zones..as if biding his time and building two great fortresses during his reign while carrying out economic growth policies. Picture: With some troops: Obviously he loves gold. |

| Name: Ellen D'Arc Acelyne - Fake Name Age: 18 Class of Society: Merchant Occupation: Blood Reverence Assassin Your side: Blood Reverence Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Personality: Ellen's personality is much akin to the stoic man, Merek. She's cold and severely as cunning as he is. Although she does possess many characteristics original from the man, she is, mostly, very different from him in many aspects. At first, for example, she is a battle manic, developing a taste for assassination and even dueling as something to skip time. She is extremely loyal to Merek, calling him her savior and even going as far as considering suicide if he so orders. She does not see him as a man, though, preferring to see him as the Blood Pope and, on extremely rare cases, as her father. Aside from that, she also has a very religious mind. She believes vampires to be prophets and demi-gods, original from Blood herself who have the closest connection to Blood, being able to find nourishment, knowledge and become more connected to each other as the same beings by drinking blood, in other words, Blood herself. Ellen shows mercy in assassination by killing them as quickly as possible. She demonstrates a religious mindset many times through many comments and insights, as it is perhaps her preferred topic. Outside her true personality, though, she is Ellen D'Arc Acelyne, child of the famous merchant and a close relative to the nobles. She acts happily, playfully and even goes as far as being flirtatious with some people, as it is her personality and appearance while she's in what she calls The Game(referring to politic acts). Bio: Ellen knows little to nothing about her past... Or at least she doesn't remember it. She was still very young, still just a youngster, when she lived in a village near the borders of Kabul. During the time, war was on a full start and the village was obviously caught in between the two sides. When the war broke out, the village was attacked by Kabul troops and everyone in the town was slaughtered and killed. Ellen was protected by her fathers, but she was still found and beaten 'till she was nearly dead. It was not her time to return to Blood, however, as she managed to survive... But she had lost all her memories of the past. The girl awoke, in a village burned down by enormous flames. She had no food, she didn't knew her name and had no idea of what just had happened. Her hopes of finding answers came when a convoy passed by the city and granted her free passage to the town of Arzla called Larse. There, she became mostly a street urchin, stealing and robbing and tricking people in order to gain gold and buy her own food for each and every day. Her lucky day came when a group of orphans like her decided to rob one of the richest men in the whole of Azrlan territory. The nameless girl went along and they tried to steal from a convoy that was walking past, which was escorted. The group of street kids were captured and the convoy actually revealed to be an escorted travelling man, named Merek. The guards that were escorting the man captured the children and revealed them to the man, who found peculiar interest in only a single person: a girl with short blond hairs and red eyes. For whatever reason it was, he told the guards to "teach the others a lesson", but ordered them to take the girl along with him. It was then that Ellen was born and it was then that she met her father, Merek. Merek took the girl and named her, and he raised her and taught her in the arts of assassination and the arts of the political game. The girl showed promising results, being extremely smart, stoic and cold, much like he was. Merek had also taken note of her strange appearance and the fact that she seemed to much hate the sunlight and quickly came up with the explanation, after study, that she was at least half-vampire, since she seemed to have many characteristics which fit on what he expected. The boy, at the time, raised her like a daughter and treated her like any other assassin he had under him. At the same time, though, she was also developing a strange interest for the occult and the Blood Reverence as a religion, rather than as an institution. She would write books, read them and study what she could about it, an avid student of the Blood and it's aspects. While that, Merek had also adopted her as a child, mainly to keep up appearances and to reveal that he had more than the purpose of assassination for her, as she was the most loyal servant he possessed.

| Name: Tanin Kashime Kabul Age: 17 Class of Society: Nobility Occupation: Firstborn of Kubal Your side: Kubal Strengths: -Monstrous Physique- Tanin’s raw strength is monstrous considering he’s but a simple human, and a young one at that. Regardless, he has the strength and durability to match his blunt and somewhat hot-headed attitude. -Brutal Combatant- Much akin to his mother and father, Tanin has found most of what a prince should be to be dull and not worth much interest. Battle and combat, however, is something he has pursued his interest in since he were a child. This extends from not only his own combat ability, but as well as strategic capability. Though, while he proves an impressive mind in an immediate battle, he tends not to be the best at thinking and strategizing past what is currently in front of him. -Unshakable Will- Much like his parents, Tanin possesses an almost unbreakable will. While at times lazy, he is the absolute last person to drop to a knee or give in when something matters. All the same, he is not one to be so easily manipulated… Likely for the best as he is known to have a temper when it comes to certain things. Weaknesses: -Unshakable Will- Is the absolute last person to drop to a knee or give in. Refuses to run from conflict, preferring to face problems head on. Any battle he’s avoided likely should be credited to those around him for, and sometimes quite literally, dragging him away from the issue at hand. Personality: Brash, calm, lazy, yet at times strangely energetic, cocky or cold, Tanin is hardly what one would call a model heir. While there are none that would dare look down upon him as a warrior, Tanin has little interest for anything relating to ruling. It honestly bores him. He much prefers to spend his time searching for challenges to his strength, which he has had little luck in finding. When battle and conflict is around the corner, Tanin does a one-eighty and becomes energetic, ecstatic, a bit bloodthirsty and hardly mindful of anything else… Yet when there’s only politics and the like occurring, he reverts back to his typical lethargic and uncaring self, often looking for any excuse to avoid performing his duties, whether it be hiding out somewhere and taking a nap or just letting his younger siblings drag him around. At the least it’s visible that Tanin does care deeply for his family, and will not tolerate any wrong-doings upon them. With his parents, a little less so as they can handle themselves. His siblings, both full and half, however, he has shown to be quite protective of and will lose his temper when it comes to them. Though, while shirking off much responsibility and tradition, one can see if they look closely that Tanin is not stupid by any means. He does possess the capability of being a strong ruler, however simply does not care for such a thing at the time, likely holding an I’ll burn that bridge when I come to it, mentality. Bio: Firstborn of the Sultan and Nala Redoc, or Nala Kashime as she’s sometimes called, Tanin grew with the large weight of at one point ruling the country upon his shoulders. Though, having gained his mother’s simple-minded nature and disregard for such things, often Tanin was also a trouble child, disregarding responsibilities and focusing more on the leisures of life… if the leisures of life include sleeping and the rush of battle. While often shirking off his other duties and teachings, combat is something he actively pursued an interest in. Attentively training, studying combat strategies and styles as well as watching others in the act of battle. Tanin took a great interest in many styles and forms, such as the sword, lance or bow, like his father, or even larger weapons such as his mother’s maul. But eventually, he decided he would fight fight with gauntlets to make the most use of his incredible strength. Over the years, Tanin has remained quite bored. While he knows that his father does hold an interest in other lands, he shys away from war, whereas Tanin would kill for a large conflict like that to get his blood pumping… as well as an excuse to avoid the annoying politics of home.

| Name: Rowan Bruylant Age: 48 Class of Society: Army Occupation: Commander of City Watch Your side: Arlza Strengths: Experience - Very adept at interpreting body language to where it seems he has a 6th sense for danger and crime. He's seen almost every trick there is to go above and around the law. Knowing a sword for more than half his life, he knows his way around a battle field. Fearless - Having lived a full life and accomplished all he strove for, Rowan has little fear of death as it seems natural in his age. However this does not make him reckless, more so the opposite with his daughter expected to succeed in his place. Mentor - Rowan is a great teacher in the art of swordsmanship and polearms. He is also gifted with wisdom from his experiences in life, so seems to know when to say the right things at the right time. Many of his guards look to him for advise as does the Emperor on rare occasions. Weaknesses: Age - While not a defenseless old man his reflexes, strength, and stamina are not what they use to be. Able to hold his own against many of the watch and even the royal guard, he does not posses the endurance for long bouts of combat. As such, his performance suffers the longer he fights without rest. Personality: Like many older people Rowan keeps to himself. Occasionally he can be caught lost in thought and when asked what he is thinking he says "Oh, nothing." or tells a joke. To his watch he is strict yet kind, he is also forgiving of thieves with noble cause. Though he makes sure none of the higher ups know of this kindness as it would not look good. He has a soft spot for his daughter despite trying his best to raise her into a strong woman. Those who try and take her hand he challenges to a 1v1 battle, in which if they cannot defeat him then they can never have another chance. Bio: Born in a land foreign to Arlza, he was raised on a farm and as such grew to be stout and tough. Upon the now non existent kingdom being attack he left home to join in its defense. At the age of 15 he was recruited and taught swordsmanship as well as archery. Taking a liking more to the sword than the bow he became infantry among many other men his age. When the time for battle came, he like few others, managed to survive and barely defend their kingdom. However it was at a great price, the enemy had been ruthless in its conquest and eventual defeat. Slaughtering innocents as they pillaged and rampaged throughout the land. While away fighting his home and family were victims of their deeds. Losing his entire family, mother, father, brothers and sisters, Rowan became bitter and hollow as he found himself with nothing to live for. Leaving his kingdom which eventually fell to ruin he became a Knight -errant in search of purpose. Finding work for various lords, he fought bandits, other knights, and even peasants on his journey across both land and sea. Then upon arriving in Arlza he met Ellena, eventually falling in love he felt the urge to settle down. Joining the city watch he served for twenty years before becoming commander. In that time he had his daughter Ryia and protected the city from a large array of enemies. From hordes of bandits to revolts of the commoners, leading his hand chosen men he's watched over and made Arlza a much safer place compared to when he first arrived. Picture: |

| Name: Amon Tutamousus Allias Saint Amon, Holy Father Amon Age:82 Class of Society: Merchant (Noble) Occupation: Arch Priest Your side: Kabul Strengths: (Limit of 3) Wisdom of the ages: Having lived longer than most around him..and showing no sign yet of slowing down, the fanaticical cleric has seen and learned much, normally he has something to say on a matter. Unifier of the Faith: Being a symbol of the blessings of the Six, Amon meerly being on a battlefield installs resolve into his crusaders...and in the main army who knows whats waiting should they retreat without orders, or get in the way of the path of the rightous out on conversion missions. Heart of the masses: while seen as a monster abroad, at home even the most distutite of slaves or haughty of merchants will confine in the Holy Father, which has shaped the course of history and ended..if not allowed a number of plots to unfold. Weaknesses: Advanced age: While his longevity is impressive, Amon is not likelly to stand up well in a fight, depending on his crusaders for protection and walking staff to simply walk around, he is not a fighter, while he can defend himself, its the legions of the Sand that allow him to stand and rise his fist to those he himself would not be able to. Personality: Feverant, devoted, zealous, charitiable and unquestioning of the work of the gods. The man will do anything to keep the faith alive and has no tolerance of heritics, with his own private army, he's the main voice for war in the capital, though as the Arch Priest he mostly attentds to his duties in keeping slave revolts from happening with peaceful devotion and educational insturctions. The man is as likely to call for a Crusade as he is to hand out bread to the poor and in sermons chastise masters that are too heavy with the hand on his slaves, while at the same time reminding the slaves of the system of rebirth that all is right in the world. He is a man of extremes and no compromise and Pious faith. Bio: Amon has served long in the Temple of the six, well versed in religous study and military tactics to a point, Amon has watched many earn the title of Sultan, lose it, keep it, and die. Never wanting the crown in firm beliefe it was not his place to take or have it. Over the years he's been the source of most law and order, the pillars of the faith, and the force conversions with his army in the wake of the Sultan. While a warmongerer with rightous zeal, he is often seen in Kabul as a champion of the poor, teaching basic life skills with temple scribes, caring for the sick, sheltering the homeless, and feeding the poor, provided they bend the knee to the one true faith.

| Name: Merek (Rubel Whyte - Master of Spies Title) Age: 23 Class of Society: Merchant Occupation: Master of Spies/Blood Pope Your side: Blood Reverence (on the surface) Strengths: Genius - Gifted from a young age with great creativity and intelligence, things scholars study their entire lives come to him with observational ease. Psychology, Politics, Economics, Law, and History seem to be his forte. Cunning - A master of deceit and evasion if he doesn't think he can talk, blackmail, or bribe his way out of a situation, he'll have several escape plans in place in case things get messy. Though most of the time he has no need for them as manipulation and deception are sufficient. Influence - While being both Master of Spies and secretly the Blood Pope Merek's name gets around. However his reach and information pool doesn't stop there. Extending to nobility, merchants, army, working class and different regions. His money and name are known throughout the land and farther beyond. Weaknesses: Risk Taker - Merek is known to taking risks and in most cases when he doesn't have to. Opting for the quickest and sometimes most dangerous route he seems to lack self preservation as many have claimed him suicidal. Personality: To be labelled stoic would serve appropriate description for Merek. Enduring physical pain or major set backs , his facial expression rarely changes. While saying he is emotionless would probably be accurate it wouldn't be correct. He takes joy and interest in the reaction of others to his actions and plans. Like finally receiving a challenge, when someone can halt and counter his strategy he becomes amused which is a great contrast from his bored frigid demeanor. Cold to an extreme, he has now qualms with killing those who may be a threat or serve no more purpose. Friends, trusted partners, family, it does not matter who only the why. However that is his true personality, over it he wears a mask to appease the Nobility and those of his followers. Bio: While not much is known about his childhood, Merek was born to a wealthy merchant family. Upon realizing his gifts they pushed to mold him into their ideal son and to one day have a chance at marrying the kings daughter. This continued till he was 16 when they mysteriously disappeared. Inheriting their fortune he was quick to make use of it, investing and managing it wildly, in the span of a year he quadrupled it. Fast forward 4 years, after the strange death of the former Blood Pope and Master of Spies, Merek was appointed to succeed him by his closest peers. While on the surface nothing seemed odd, in the background there was a tear of alliance between members of the cult. Using his skills, money and the influence/favors it brought with it, Merek rose up the ranks and had the Pope assassinated, along with his most trusted colleagues or anyone who Merek thought a possible threat, including those who had helped him. Effectively there was no one to know of the details after things were finished. Taking wheel of the organization and it's funds he did with it what he did to his families fortune, multiply it. However not being one to let wealth sit and do nothing Merek put it to use in the form of loans, favors, and generous donations. All to gain influence and power over those he thought useful. With a scattered wealth on the level of nobility, his hand is far and wide. What exactly he plans to do with said power is unknown. Many do not pry into his matters as they suspect he would tell them, fully aware he'd need to kill them afterward. Those who do know dare not speak of it as even their limited knowledge is a death wish waiting to be sealed. Picture: |

| Name: Grave Deadman (Edgy as fuck see history for why this is her name) Age:23 Class of Society: Working Class Occupation: Bounty Hunter, Assassin, part-time grave digger. Your side: Arlza* (While her home is in Ariza, she is a freelancer that has worked for Kabul and Blood Reverence, given her work she travels a great deal.) Strengths: Enhanced Toughness: Grave being used to manual labor work at a young age and occassional abuse can take a surprising beating and then some. Standing still when most would have falterd and fallen. Enhanced Strength: Having worked in manual labor tasks, Grave is praticularly stronger than her size and build would suggest. Able to drag a body a bit larger than her, or being able to manhandle those that let ones guard down. As if to showcase this her "shovel" is made of solid steel and weighs more than one would expect. Polearm Expert: Grave through observation, a born talent, or just alot of luck is a skilled polearm user, good enough so if she were nobility or in the Army its likely she could have earned her fortune like that. However that being said, she is inept with most other weapons, minus her bare hands. In principle, her Shovel, while little more than a custom halberd is her weapon of choice. Weaknesses: Chronic Stupidity: Grave is not a smart lady, short of basic education, she lacks the ability to plan far out, or to even follow a plan that has any complex actions to it, while a skilled combatant, she won't win awards for strategy unless its on how best to kill everyone in a line from point A to point B. Because of this she is rather easy to trick and escape if ones wits are about them....though that doesn't mean she won't stop coming after them. This also can go about her social interactions as well, though in general for petty things it is a bad idea to trick her. Though it can be questioned if she's stupid, or just very much insane. Personality: Grave is a very sweet talking girl...who says distrubing things and laughs more than the average person tends to, while also being a bit creepy. Though honest and has a good memory for names and faces, she can be very dense, while very rich from her various jobs and well dressed in an attempt to be more refined, she is still pretty much minus her bare basic knowladge not much above her station in practical terms. A curious oddity is most people assume her name is an allias, when in fact it is her real birth name. While kind...she is very blood thirsty and single minded. Grave noticablly when attachted to a person, or dealing with bankers or others with complicated aspects to there life..should it cross into hers at least, is highly paranoid, if not out right stalkish. Bio: Grave's story is an oddity of sorts... Her father was a deranged bandit, and her mother one of his followers, upon raiding a small village, the group was set upon in ambush by the City Watch. Killed to the last man and woman. While Pregnant with the child, graves mother gave birth while being burried in a mass grave. The grave keeper Otto, upon finding her wasn't much sure what to do with the Child that was partly covered in soil and barely out of its mother. Taking her as his own Child he gave her the name Grave, and Deadman, which was a traditional name for grave diggers and undertakers. As the years went by the infant was forced to help with the work, and had to deal with the mans various abuses, always keeping a smile to her face and a odd outlook on the world, the girl was observed to have a strong penchant for violence at random times. A bounty hunter and sidetime assassin called Demini catching notice of this "purchased" the girl from Otto, who soon ended up dead in a unusual accident. As the years went by, Demini would come to regret her choice..while the girl was unexpectidly strong, she was unable to quelch her hidden bloodlust enough to formulate in plans, though she was a good tracker and capeable in hand to hand situations. As the years went by the Bounty hunter taught the girl what she could, before meeting her own end in a botched job. At the Age of sixteen, Grave took up her masters work after having decided to search for her. Taking any and every job the girl in the following five years, having no vices, and a healthy paranoia of those wanting coin grew her riches considerablly, and is known as on of the most notorious bounty hunters in all the land, taking most of her bounties dead. She's also known as one of the most stupid..though few would dare say that outloud around her. Picture: Snapped bloodlust whats under the dress, which she only removes in a battle she knows will be heated, or has been removed bit by bit in combat. |

| Name: Nala Redoc, Nala Kashime Age: 32 Class of Society: Military Occupation: Military Czar Your side: Kabul Strengths: -Life of Struggle- Nala’s life has been filled with struggle, constantly requiring her to claw her way by. As a result, she’s grown tough, physically, emotionally and mentally. Though she doesn’t exactly have book smarts due to her upbringing, she does have street smarts and knows when to gamble what she’s got or back out while she’s ahead, unlike her lover and eldest child. Though, while a bit more strategically capable than her husband, and though strong herself, she unfortunately does not possess the raw strength of her lover nor the monstrous level of her son. At the least, she can go far past her limits and points in which others bodies would have given in. -Instinctual Combat Expertise- Unlike most near her stature, Nala was never trained, nor did she base her style off a professional one. She was a slave, then conscripted, then enslaved again and soon after released and bedded by her current lover. Nala is as fearsome a fighter as she is because she had to adopt her own fighting style, and while many will dismiss this as a great disadvantage, it rather makes her, while very simple, harder to combat due to common strategies not working against her bizarre styles. -Military Czar- Through the years, Nala has gained plenty of combat experience, and later on, experience in war itself. While her lover and eldest born are strong warriors and capable leaders, they are both stubborn as mules and at times do not possess the maturity to assess the situation as is. While not the smartest, conflict is something Nala has become very perceptive towards, making her excellent as a commander and strategist. Aside from being able to analyze formations and tactics, she as well possesses the maturity to know when it’s time to cut the losses. Weaknesses: -Not the Brightest- Strategically, Nala is excellent. However, her area of mental expertise lies solely in the battlefield. She never received any proper education, so things such as books, literature, sciences, magicks, mathematics are painfully low. Even her reading level is below average… though at least she has been trying to get better as any messages she receives during wartime could be important. Personality: A brutal woman. Nala retains a reputation of being cold, calculating, blunt as hell while also keeping some bloodlust within. To those around her, she doesn’t tolerate any screw-ups or lackluster behavior, viewing that she herself didn’t have time to screw around when she was a runt, and therefore those around her shouldn’t either. Near merciless and almost cruel, Nala won’t hesitate to put someone in their place, not due to her relation with the Sultan, but because she herself believes anyone that would quietly whisper behind her back rather than have the gall to speak upfront to her are cowards and hypocrites. Rather, while it might seem the opposite, Nala respects those who stand up to her. Even if they are weak, she views them more highly than the strong who sit obediently, waiting for their master’s call. Though, while harsh, Nala does a complete one-eighty when it comes to her children. Perhaps… if anything… she’s a bit too loving, often becoming paranoid or jealous, or simply smothering the hell out of them. It’s quite obvious that motherhood has softened her somewhat. Her behavior towards the Sultan is a bit different, however. Rather, it more combines the two personas. Nala retains a bit of jealousy as well as selfishness, sometimes even a bit of flirtatiousness and teasing, however for the most part will remain aloof to his clinginess and affections… again, mainly to tease him. Bio: Nala was born a slave. Growing up in the lowest social class and alone quickly embedded the outlook that only looking out for yourself was wise; that it was the survival of the fittest. You did what you had to in order to get ahead, even if it meant stepping over or sacrificing others. She couldn’t just be a scared little girl. If she let herself stay as that, she’d be the one being stepped on in order for someone else to crawl higher. Though while the life of a slave was harsh, at the least it strengthened her for what was about to come. Rather, you could consider her lucky that she adapted so well, as the next events would not tolerate weaklings. In the Sultan’s earlier conquests, Nala’s country was one of the first to be targeted. Though it was small and hardly stood a chance, its rulers refused to simply surrender and began a mass conscription. Anyone able from most all classes, the slaves included. Many of the slaves were mistreated and poorly taken care of… they as well did not have the will to go through with it… Luckily for Nala’s sake, she was the minority. Strong-willed and simply strong in general. Though she wasn’t trained for nearly long enough for her to have picked up anything close to a professional style, Nala picked up combat quickly for how young she was. She fit the job well… unfortunately, the position itself didn’t last long. Her first and last battle was at the age of fourteen, in which the country’s forces crashed against the Sultan’s and, though it was quite the easy victory, Nala’s stubbornness and combat ability caught the eye of the Sultan enough that he allowed her a duel. As expected, however, Nala was defeated after putting up a valiant fight. After the conflict, she was captured and once again reduced to the status of slave, the only difference being that she was one to another country now. To her surprise, it did not last long. Nala was freed of her shackles and bedded by the very man that bested her, then baring his first child at the age of fifteen. She would go on to bare three more children for him and even enter in the military herself, eventually becoming the Czar. Many are skeptical through how she acquired the title… but she’s more than happy to show them how, normally by beating the explanation into those with doubt. Picture: |

She also almost always has a back up plan, while this seems to largely be limited to political and business functions, it remains to be seen if they can in military matters. Weaknesses: Royal Perfection: Demanding near flawless quality or her tasks being carried out to her own standards, she can be a bit harsh at times, which means she is not overly popular with some, also some personalities such as that of slackers, peasantry, and the ignorant tend to anger her. Often looking down on them to the point of not seeing them as a threat. Because of this she likely would be illsuited as a combat commander.

| Name: Nelius Arthur Age: Unknown Class of Society: Occupation: Headmaster of Magic school/Ruler of Utopia Your side: Utopia Strengths: Magic - Being the sole wielder of projectile magic, Nelius is skilled in many schools of the art. Telekinesis, Illusion, Healing, Alchemy, and Enchanting are all within is skill set. Library of Knowledge - Having read more books than an entire kingdom, Nelius has knowledge in just about every subject there is. This has been a great help to him in tackling any and all problems that find their way to him or his community. Enhanced Senses - See farther, hear better, sense distortion in space around him as if it were his own skin, all of these are consequences of his enhanced senses. Unknown whether they are a cause of his knowledge and practices or race as a superior human being. They allow him to react much quicker than the average human and make him appear that much more supernatural. Weaknesses: Pacifist - Being apart of his very nature, Nelius avoids all conflict and never advocates violence. While he is gifted with magical knowledge that could very well make him unstoppable in some aspects, he sees magic's purpose as only to help mankind, not harm or destroy it. To this end he will not harm anyone friend or foe, instead he will disarm or push them back if it is unavoidable. Personality: Nelius is a kind and patient man, giving ample time for people to speak before answering. He promotes curiosity and the pursuit of knowledge in often speaking with riddles or sentences that don't always answer a question directly. He's also friendly in that he'll strike up a conversation with just about anyone while they go through with their day. When it comes to conflict he is all words and rarely actions, but when the need for actions is upon him he acts without hesitation. Bio: There is not much known about Nelius's past besides what he shares with others which is unfortunately limited. When asked about the city of Utopia and how it came to be he characteristically replied "I could not have built it myself could I?" Imply that there was possibly a civilization of mages like him before, but something happened to them. Regardless, it did not hinder Nelius's effort in keep the kingdom alive. First discovered by a lost traveler seeking guidance in life, the place quickly grew to welcome beings of all kinds in their pursuit of knowledge and peace. Teaching all those who swore to oaths of pacifism and chastity the ways of the mage, Nelius quickly found himself with a fairly large community under his wing. Assigning different roles periodically each member became efficient in each, effectively making every citizen skilled in all aspects needed to support the community. He also advocated knowledge and comradery above greed or possessions. Those who refused were not shunned or treated differently, quite the opposite, they were praised for staying true to themselves, as a result a community of close and greatly gifted minds was created. A peasant who was taken advantage of and made to work in the mud in a span of a year was the equivalent of a regular scholar after living among Utopia. Picture: |

| Name: Benjamin Torik Age: 25 Class of Society: Working Occupation: Sell sword Company Leader Your side: Is looking to side with Kabul but is really on his own side. Strengths: - Dual sword fighting, Not many can rival Ben in a sword fight. Combining the use of his dual swords, dirty fighting style and agility, he is a tough foe to beat. - Agility, his before mentioned agility is a skill in which he takes pride in, being able to preform many different moves that most men are not able to do. Somersaults, back flips, one handed cartwheels, etc. He combines the use of these into his fighting style, catching his opponents off guard. "Let those brutes swing their swords about like the no brained morons they are, I'll dance around them and tire them out, then when they can barely lift their steel I will gracefully slice their throats open for them" is something he has been known to say. - Sell sword company, He leads a sell sword company of 700. These mercenaries have recognized Ben's skill and generous payments. Leading an essentially small army comes with the merits of having power and influence among small towns and villages as the residents there are reluctant to contradict such a man. Weaknesses: - Sell sword company, being a sell sword company leader, there have been numerous bounties put on his head and Arzla have put out a royal decree that the man is wanted, with a $20,000 coin reward. Which is a lot for the mere peasants of the realm, he often finds himself being rudely interrupted by bounty hunting parties. Personality: Cocky, arrogant, intelligent, witty, loves a good laugh. Is always cracking jokes at the expense of others, to the continued delight of the men who follow him, who doesn't like a good laugh? Loves to fight and has an extreme blood lust when on the battle field. He is also a very smooth talker. Bio: Ben grew up in a small Arzlanian village that was raided by a group of bandits when he was 8, the bandits took him in, raised him and fed him. Teaching him the ways of the sword and all the dirtiest tricks in the book. He found that he had a natural knack for fighting with dual swords, the men of the bandit group praised his skills and he found himself among a new family. The bandit groups leader was a man by the name Malcolm, a fearsome and infamous man feared by many. The bandit group grew and grew, eventually reaching the size of 3,000, the largest and most well organized bandit group Farem had ever seen. Ben rose the ranks and became part of the inner circle of men, eventually becoming second in command. Malcolm decided to throw his force against the Arzlanian town Larse, the battle was good in the beginning and it looked like the bandits would prevail. Most unfortunately for them, the captain at Fort Illois had planned a visit to Larse Town and with him brought 300 men to help train the new recruits of Larse Town. The force saw the battle and quickly swooped down from a flanking position, crushing the men of the bandit camp against the walls with the extreme advantage of surprise, well equipped men and extremely well trained warriors. Malcolm fell to the charge and the rest of the group met an extremely quick and bloody end. Luckily Ben had managed to grab a horse and escape the fray, riding for the border of Kabul, he managed to get through the border using old smuggler passes and began to form his own company. He now has a force of, (a previously mentioned), 700 men. This force reside within a large cave in the mountains of Kabul, that Ben had found in his travels. He normally travels around the continent trying to get jobs for his company, usually traveling with 30 men on horseback. He is now looking for a contract with Kabul since his company, (named The Bleeding Mare), has grown quite reputable and he wishes to join the war and fight the Arzlanians. Picture: |
| Name: Rodrik the Mountain Age: 28 Class of Society: Working Occupation: Bandit Clan Leader Your side: His own, but he raids in Arzla Territory Strengths: 1. Brutal Strength: While he is not proficient using more accurate weapons such as spears, swords and daggers, he is a master of using large and destructive weapons like two-handed axes, war hammers and maces, he has much strength behind his swings, and can take out un-heavily armored and smaller opponents with one well placed swing. 2. Clever: Unlike most brutish heavy weapon users, Rodrik is clever, he rarely falls for tricks and is rather intelligent battle strategy-wise, which is why his bandit clan has prospered over the years. He is very good at using dirty or dishonorable tactics in battle, and his form of strategy is particularly good at dealing with traditionally trained opponents such as guardsmen and soldiers. 3. Army of Bandits: He has a rather large bandit clan of roughly 400 men, while his force may not be as large as others, they make up for it in their quick brutality, normally utilizing the element of surprise to even the numbers quickly. They are used to fighting soldiers and guards, and tend not to fair well against other thugs, bandits or mercenaries. Weaknesses: (Must have 1) 1. Infamy: He and his clan are well renowned around Arzla, and he has a very very substantial bounty on his head, forcing them to change locations frequently, as the bands of Bounty Hunters, Mercenaries and groups of the Military often seek them out to fight them. 2. Sympathy: He refuses to kill children, and frequently punishes any of his men that harm them. This often leads to trouble, and can end up with them having to change locations due to a survivor alerting any nearby soldiers of their presence. And when he razes villages, he gives the inhabitants a choice, be killed or join his clan, which can also sometimes lead to trouble with attempted mutinies. Personality: Cold and calculating, Rodrik doesn't like to play or mess around, he is very straight to the point and blunt. There is no arguing with him, and he is very stubborn. He always keeps a level head, and never flies into a rage. They say he is as cold as the mountains he came from. However, he is surprisingly merciful as most Bandit Leaders go. Bio: He was abandoned as a young child in the mountains, his parents believed he was some kind of cursed child, as he was unnaturally very large, and strange things would happen to them since his birth, things like their cattle dying, experiencing poor crops, ect. While he certainly wasn't cursed in any way, his parents being the superstitious common folk they were, left him in the mountains. He wandered the rocky and cold mountains, malnourished and tired, until a group of bandits found him. They noticed how unnaturally large the child was, and decided to take him in, giving him a new name "Rodrik the Mountain". As he grew up, the bandit clan that had taken him in was one day ambushed by Soldiers in a Mountain Pass, killing off all of them except for Rodrik, he was still a boy at the time, so the soldiers took pity on him and captured him alive, where they then put him to work as a slave prisoner in a mine in the mountains, along with other bandits they had captured alive. After many years of living in these mines and being frequently abused, he eventually lead an uprising and freed himself and his fellow prisoners, starting a new clan of bandits that roamed the more mountainous regions of Arzla, raiding villages and attacking outposts.

MontyMars said: Approved!!! It would be interesting to see this bandit group and Bejamin Torik's sell sword group meet. |
| Updated Rodrik's sheet with a picture of what his bandits look like. And I also think it'd be interesting for the two groups to meet at some point, I have a feeling they'd either become close allies or bitter enemies. Also, my friend just told me on steam she'd be making a character in my bandit clan soon, so she wanted me to say that I was okay with her making a character in it. :P |
|
| Oh very barbaric. Is your friend that Vance person? |
| Yeah, we're really good friends, and recently met IRL at a con. |
|
| That's good, what con? Oh we should probably move this to the comments so as not to block up the thread. |
| Name: Ymir Age:20 Class of Society: Working Occupation: Right Hand Bandit of Rodrik Your side: Rodrik's Bandits Strengths: Sword and Shield- Ymir has been trained to use a sword and a shield, she is a agile and fast fighter, dodging and blocking attacks until she finds the opportunity to take out her enemy. Agile- She is very fast and nimble, she has good reflexes and can dodge and block quickly Marksmanship- Ymir is very good with her bow, and can hit with accuracy from up to about 30 meters away. Weaknesses: (Must have 1) Bad Endurance- Ymir is not as durable as the other bandits. On the rare occasion an enemy's attack actually lands on her, the blow is devastating. Personality: Ymir is very loyal to Rodrik, and would do anything he tells her to. She is very vulgar and spiteful, and she also frequently mocks enemies. She isn't very attractive, her face is scarred, her voice is harsh and her personality is atrocious. Bio: Ymir grew up on a farm near a village in Arzla. She was an ordinary farmer's girl and never had any big aspirations. She met Rodrik when she was young, before he had the large army of bandits he had now. He had met her while hiding in the stables from some soldiers, Ymir had never been so smitten with anyone before in her life, and ran away from her dull life to be with him. After a couple of years, she got over her "crush" on him. Instead she now sees him as a great friend. Picture: |

| Name: Siegfried Age: 24 Class of Society: Working Occupation: Axeman mercenary Your side: Those who pay him or defeat him Strengths: Advanced training in the use of the axe - he has spent most of his life fighting with the axe and trains regularly with it. Berserker strength - is capable of working himself into a self hypnotic frenzy that allows him to use the full strength of his trained and hardened body. Abnormally dense bones - his bones are denser than the average humans and they are more difficult to break and fracture. Weaknesses: He can't last in a drawn out fight and when a berserker he does not think about defense. Personality: he normally speaks softly and doesn't raise his voice and while he may seem docial he lives soully to fight the strongest opponents he can and test his strength. He feels absolute bliss swinging his axe but always fights so that he may survive, not wanting to give up that feeling. He is not one to do anything with cruelty but will do whatever he sees as necessary to survive. Bio: he lived most of his life in his father's long boat going up and down rivers to harass, pillage and steal from villages and ports. His father was a feared chieftain of a group of Viking warriors. Living with such a man he caught early on the feeling of victory against a stronger opponent and under the guidance of others he learned to use the axe, his father's weapon of choice and the weapon that most fascinated him. When he was considered an adult he fought against his father and won. Soon after he left in search of others that were stronger. He's spent the years since he was 16 roaming from battlefield to battlefield finding the strongest of each side and fighting them. He soon ended up selling his services to any and all who needed it.
